FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. PA ars, Nov. 3. —The Messaf , er des Chantbres of last night, which is, without any sort, of doubt, the very best informed of all - the Fiench liberal papers on Spanish news, published the following article on the recent tumults at Madrid "Very grave events passed 'at Madrid on therth of October, and yet the French Governme nt has only published as much relating to them as suited its purpose. It is certain and admit bid that the disarming of the Royalist 'Volunteers was ordained, and that this measure could not be carried into effect without a serious resistance ; but nothing has been told us by the Govern ment of the events which preceded and followed it. Up to the period about which we are speaking, it would appear that the Royalist Volunteers of Madrid were not at any rate ostensibly the object of suspicion on the at of the new Government in Spain; so much so, that on the 3d of October, the anniversary of the return of Ferdinand, the. Queen and her palace, according ' to the usage of preceding years, were c ommitted to their charge; and it was believed that the manifesto of M. Zea had even ral lied them round the banner of the Queen, as nothing was to be charigedin the form or nature of the Spanish Government. " But these - anticipations were incorrect, fur a conspiracy was getting up in the ranks of the royalist volunteers of the capital, having for its object to put an end to the life of the Queen .- Mother and the daughter, M. Zea, and all the p ersons attached to the new order ot things. This conspiracy was dis covered, and the government of the Queen was obliged to strike with vigour, aided by numerous troops of the line in the capi mi. According to the letters received they fought during five hours in the streets of 'Madrid, and much blood was spilt. They state that the constitutional party, strengthened by the defeat of the Royalist volunteers, who are their eternal enemies, and feetini , that to the Queen their aid became mo re and more necessary, r ' began to raise their voices, and demanded aloud a change of the ministry." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Oct. 22.--We learn, by letters from Presburg, that negociations are . on foot with the Porte, for the purpose of ex tending the navigation of the Danube, by steam-boats, to the Black Sea. It is even affirmed that the termination is at hand, and that this navigation will be shortly . organized. Three steamers, of which two are already in use in the Danube, will be employed in this service. Tne vintage has been very unfavourable in Hungary. PRUSSIA. - - • COBLENTZ, OCT. 26.—The prices of raw silk having consi derably increased for some time past, it is a necessary result that a considerable rise will take place in the prices of manu factured silks. The manufacturers of Crefeld have lately met, and written a circular on this subject to their correspondents, in which they,inform them that the prices of raw silks have risen in the Italian markets nearly 50 per cent. in comparison of last year's prices ;—that in consequence they ought to increase the prices of the manufactured silks 25 or 30 per cent., but that they had agreed to raisethem only 15 or 18 per cent. on satin and plush, and 20 to 25 on other silks, hoping that they shall not be obliged to make any further advance in the prices. DREADFUL HURRICANE. From Friday morning till Sunday morning, we experienced most boisterous weather along the Ayrshire coast—indeed, during the greater part of Friday, and on Saturday night and Suudav morning, the wind blew a perfect hurricane right in shore. No accident of a serious nature, however, has occurred in the town of Ayr or in the immediate vicinity, but we are sorry to learn that the storm has produced serious effects on other parts of the coasi. The sea wall at our large light-house has been partially damaged, some of the palls along the quay have been started, and a great number of chimney-cans, and slates have been blown from the houses in the town and neighbour hood; but beyond this, we do not learn that any other damage has been sustained here. At A ndrossan, part of the break-water was demolished, and a portion of the new pier at Largs wasalse injured; but at Troon the effects of the storm have been felt far more severely, as will be seen by the following communica tions from our correspondent in that town : TllOO N, Friday, Nov. I.—Last night the wind began to blow pretty freeh from about W.S.W., and having veered to N.W., before morning it increased to one of the severest gales we have ever experienced. This morning before breakfast hour, the Betock, of Troon, and a sloop with her sails torn to shreds, hove in sight—the sloop made the harbour, but the Betock was not so fortunate. Two schooners followed her as their guile, but she not getting far enough into the harbour, they were obliged to pass round her stern, in consequence of which they got too much to leeward, and their anchors not bringing them up, they went ashore. Two brigs came up afterwards, and, from the same cause, met the like fate as the schooners. About the same time the ship Eliea, of Irvine, Hamilton, master, broke from the moorings at the quay, and, notwitestanding all the exer tions of the master and people on board, she drifted ashore con siderably to the north of the other vessels. She struck very heavily for some time after she touched the ground, and her bow-port being unfortunately open, she filled and settled down. We hope she will be got oil, though we are afraid it will be with some difficulty. In the afternoon the Betock was enabled. to turn up alongside the breakwater, where she still lies. Saturday, Nov. 2.—The four vessels we mentioned yester day are the brigs Artuose of Fishguard, John Wade, master, from Cardiff to Glasgow, with iron; and the John Guise, of Chepstow, M`Fee, master, from Dublin to this place; the schooners Crown, of Dundee, David Stewart, from Lime rick to Greenock, with wheat ; and Lady Ann, of Working ton, Samuel Sunliridge, master, from Derry to Glasgow, with oats. We hope they will soon be got off. We have had a pretty strong breeze from S.W., this forenoon. It has veered again to N.\V., and there is every reason to fear that we will have a tempestuous night. We are happy to state that no lives have been lost. A man and a boy fell from the rigging of the Crown of Dundee • the man is not much hurt, and the boy is not con sidered to be in a dangerous state. Monday, Nov. 4.—As we anticipated it came on to blow on Saturday night a strong gale from about N.W., equal at least to what we suffered on Friday morning, and it is with sorrow we have to state that the sloop Margaret Brown, of Rothesay, seemingly laden with oats, came on shore yesterday morning, keel up, and dismasted. A great quantity of oats is strewed along the shore. Every exertion was made to save as much as possible. Captain Stirling took charge of the people who were employed about the vessel, and has saved a watch, four sovereigns, and some of her materials. He placed a guard to take care of whatever articles might come on shore from her, and wrote to the owners, by yesterday's post. Her boat came ashore in the harbour, so that it is _probable the catastrophe took place at no great distance from Troon harbour. P.S. The gale has taken off, and we trust the weather will settle.—Ayr Observer. I3IPORTANT TO CREDITORS. The 28th section of the act of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV. cap. 42, entitled " An act for the further amendment of the law and the better advancement of justice," is as follows : " And be it further enacted, that upon al, debts or sums pay able at a certain time or otherwise, the jury on the trial of any issue, or any inquisition or damages, may, it they shall think fit, allow interest to the creditor, at a rate nut exceeding the cur rent rate of interest, from the time when such debt or sums certain were payable, if such debt or sums be payable by virtue of some written instrument at a certain time • or if payable otherwise, then from the time when demand of payment shall have been made in writing, so as such demand shall give notice to the debtor that. interest will be claimed from the date of such demand until the term of payment, provided that interest shall be payable in all cases in which it is nowpavable by law." The effect of this enactment may be briefly stated thus : " If the debt be payable by virtue of a written instrument, then the creditor is entitled to interest from the time when the debt became due. And if there be no written instrument, then the creditor is entitled to interest only from the time of his de manding payment of the debt in writing, so that in the demand of payment, the creditors apprize the debtor that interest will be required from that time." In the generality of cases, the following form of notice will be sufficient : _ _ " I hereby demand payment of the sum of due from you to me, and I give you notice that I shall claim in terest thereon from the date hereof to the time of payment. Dated the day of 183.3. Yours, &c. -." Of course it will be requisite, in resorting to legal proceedings to have evidence of the delivery of the notice to the debtor; and it will be proper that a clerk, or some other person than the cre ditor, should deliver it, and keep a copy thereof.

CROCKFORD. • This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover a £2OO Bank of England note, which he lost under the following circumstances. It appeared that the plaintiff went with a friend to the Rotunda, Blackfriars-bridge, to attend a political lecture delivered by Mr. Co'obett.— During his stay there hisTocket was picked of £SSO in hank notes, which he advertised in England, Ireland, and Scotland. However be heard nothing of them before the expiration of about twelve months, when the £2OO bank note in question was traced to the. defendant. Mr. Crockford paid it to a gentleman at Tattersall's on ac count of a bet; he could not tell from whom he had re- . ceived it, and he declined giving up the possession of it. The plaintiff therefore brought his action and gained a verdict for the amount. Mr. Serjeant Andrews moved this day for rule nisi to set aside the verdict, upon the ground that the defendant was not compelled to keep an account of the names of all parties who might pay him hank notes, and, having given value for it, he was entitled to retain it. The Lord Chief Justice pronounced the decision of the court. It• had been made on three grounds-Ist, that _the bank-note traced - to • the hands of - the defendant had not been clearly proved to be the same note which the plaintiff had .lost. Upon that point the court thought that there had been sufficient evidence of its identity, at least for the jury to decide upon, and they were satisfied that it was the same note. Upon the second ground— namely, that the plaintiff's own negligence had led to the loss—the court were also of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. It was very true that the plaintiff's going into the lecture-room at the Rotunda with so large a sum of money in his possession was a very indiscreet act ; but still how did that contribute towards the defendant's want of due care ? In all those .cases in which the plaintiff's impudence or negligence prevented him from recovering, that neg ligence had contributed to his loss, together with the defendant's want of due precaution, as in cases of running down, &c. If in this case the plaintiff had omit ted to advertise his loss in due time, so that the defend ant bad not been put on his guard, then the objection would have been good ; but such had not been the case. The only remaining ground, then, was whether or not the defendant had been guilty of negligence in not taking some notice of the party from whom he received so large a note ? The Court thought he had. It was clear that a banker would have been liable, had he omitted to make an entry of the name of the person from whom he had received such a note; and there was nothing in the de fendant's situation to entitle him to any privilege or in dulgence beyond what a hanker would receive. There was, therefore, no ground for disturbing the verdict. LYCONS AND WIFE V. BARROW. This was an action for money had and received. The late Colonel Gardiner, brother to Mrs. Lycons, having effected a policy of insurance upon his life for £2OOO in the names of the defendants, who were merely trustees, the latter refused to pay over the amount which they received from the office to the plaintiffs, conceiving that another party bad a stronger moral claim upon it; con sequently the present action was brought, and evidence tendered to show that the defendants were not the parties interested ; but the learned judge - who tried-the cause (Mr. Justice Taunton) refused to admit the evidence, on the ground that the 14th George 111., c. 43, rendered every policy of life insurance illegal in which the name of the party really interested was not inserted ; and conse quently his lordship nonsuited the plaintiffs. On the motion of Mr. Serjeant Adams, the Court now granted a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiffs for £2OOO. CUNNINGHAM V. FONBLANQUE. This was an action by the plaintiff, formerly the printer of the Examiner newspaper, to recover of th e d e f en d an t, who is the publisher and proprietor of that paper, £53, the amount of a month's wages for printing- the paper, and £ll for overset matter. The month's wages were claimed in consequence of the defendant having dismissed the plaintiff without any notice, it being contended, on his behalf, that he was entitled to a months' notice or pay, according to the usage of the trade. Mr. Serjeant Telford to-day moved for a new trial, and contended that the defendant had a right to dismiss the plaintiff without any notice, in consequence of his misconduct in not printing the paper in time for the Sa turday's post; and that the overset matter was already paid for in the increased wages the plaintiff had received expressly with reference to that and similar extras. The court granted a rule to show cause. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. William Whitehead was opposed by a Mr. Pococke in person. The insolvent bad been a journeyman cabinet-maker. He was indebted to his opposing creditor in the sum of £4. He had been discharged under - the act in 1810. It was objected to his being heard on his petition, that his detaining creditor had on Saturday night last sent his discharge to the prison, and that consequently, being no longer a prisoner, he was not in a situation to come within the jurisdiction of the court. The learned Commissioner Bowen observed, " It is a fraud upon the act of Parliament for a creditor to suffer a debtor to go through all the preliminary steps to his ap pearance in court, for the purpose of obtaining his dis • charge under the act, and then to discharge him himself from custody by withdrawing the detainer." The insolvent was ordered to be discharged under the 'act. THE "TIMES" VERSUS THE UNITARIANS. The Unitarian clergy are making a prodigious fuss about a very amiable person just deceased, who, but for their absurd and exaggerated prattle, would be remem bered with unqualified regard and respect. The indi vidual to whom we allude is the Rajah Rammohtm Roy, who, by .his agreeable and unassuming manners and his blameless conduct, was every where received with kind ness and goodwill. He was also, considering the cir cumstances of his origin and education, a man of a fair average understanding, but possessing much more in formation than intellect. It seems that this respectable person, after such inquiry as his means of knowledge and reach of intellect allowed, was, or fancied himself, a convertite to that.system of belief which is called Uni tarianism. There is nothing very extraordinary or very important in the fact of the Rajah's happening to adopt this system of opinion ; we neither think the better nor worse of him for coming to such a conclusion • but it is impossible not to feel pity or contempt for that class of persons who can attach importance to the possession of such a proselyte, and exhipit to the world their now_ brother with as much pomp as if lie had been endowed with the mind of a Bacon or a Newton. We suppose that Unitarianism is at a discount when such an eager catch is made at such a bait. We beg to be understood as not wishing to say a disrespectful word regarding the amiable deceased, and if our contempt for humbug has accidentally betrayed us into any offensive expression, we beg pardon of the friends of the Rajah, and must pray that the whole blame be thrown on those panegyrists who by intlated_and extravagant deceptions have thrown ridicule on a man whose unpreceneio g ds.r.otor, nc it precluded the possibility of an enemy, ought also to have protected him against the obtrlt4Ve patronage of friend ship.-7'imes. Cowes; Nov. 3.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria this morning attended divine ser vice at St. James's Church, at East Cowes. A charity sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Sneyd, for the benefit of the sunuay-school children at East Cowes, and a liberal collection was made. Their Royal Highnesses are enjoying excellent noeshealth, and constantly taking noes to different parts of this de lightful island, c o ntinuing their benevolent acts of charity wherever they can find outit is required. It is understood their Royal Iliglniesses intend taking their departure from hence on Tuesday next for Kensington. Their absence will he greatly regretted by the islanders at large, and particularly felt by the poorer classes. It. is sincerely hoped that Cowes iviti be again honoured with their presence in the ensuing summer. It is stated that Lord Howard de Walden has been appointed Ambassador to the Court of Lisbon, in the place of Lord Win. Russell, who is expected shortly to return from Portugal. Lord Howard de Walden, it is said, will arrive in town at the latter end of the week, pi eparatory to his departure for Lisbon. DOVER, Nov. 2.—The Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, with the commissioners of the harbour, after holding the session, dined at Wright's Ship Hotel. The party consisted not only . of the commissioners of the harbour, but numerous invitations were sent to the neighbourin g nobility and gentry, so that a more numerous party tha n on any former occasion had assembled were present. The dinner, dessert, and wines gave the highest satisfaction. The banquetting room in the new hotel was superbly decorated. Among the company were the Duke of Wellington, Mr, Jenkinson, Deputy Warden, the Earl of Guildford, the Right Hon. Sir C. M. Sutton, Viscount Vincent, Lord Wynford, Sir Edward Knatcbbull, Sir H. Ox enden, the Mayor ofDover, J. Pitcher, Esq., J. Shiptien, Esq., H. P. Brayeres; Esq., H. Latham, Esq., with Messrs. Deedes, Papillon, Ward, (Collector of Customs,) &c. A young lady (daughter, we under s tand, of Mrs. Fancit,) has made a debut at the Richmond Theatre in Juliet, anal evinced a promise of such tragic talent as will ultimately place her at the head of her profession : her reception was so favour able that she repeated the character in the same week, and has since acted Julia in the _Hunchback. She is also announced for Mrs. Haller on Wednesday next. A young man, who had lately becometbe head of a commer cial establishment at Uouav, had, while living at Cambray, paid his court to a young lady of that place, and having gained her affections, her relations urged him to marry her, but he de clined it, alleging that he could not obtain his father's consent. On his becoming settled the brother of the lady went to Douay, and called upon the faithless lover to accomplish that which he was bound in honour to perform, and, on receiving another re fusal, challenged the young merchant to meet him with pistols. The duel took place accordingly near Pouay, a few days ago; they fired together, and at the first shot both were struck. The brother was dangerously wounded in the neck, and his adver sary fell dead, having ieeeive-.1 lb, ball in, 4is breast.

STANDARD.] Zfit ILibruc;ol 4DtanZlar. THE LI VEIWOOL STANDARD. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1833. The honourable occupant of Derrynane Abbey has at length fired his alarm gun, by which we are to under stand that his hopes are blighted for the one-hundred aud first time, and that Lord GREY, having so many poor relations to provide for, is totally unable to confer any very lucrative place or places upon O'CONNELL and his family. " I never" says the agitator, in his own happy and modest way, "was a Utter repealer until I was made so by the conduct of the reformed ministry and the reformed Par liament," and " yet," he continues, " the newspapers in both countries have amused their readers by gravely stating that I was about to take office under these men." lie then adds, "This is inyfirst act of mewed agitation. I raise the peaceful, the constitutional, the ever-unstain ed awl bloodless standard of repeal—l nail the colours to the mast 1 1 " So, my Lords GREY and WELLESLEY, this is what you get, as . a token of what you are eventually to receive - . for refusing to purchase the services of DANIEL O'CON NELL. Ea declares war - against you in the lofty tone of an autocrat. He scorns office with an angry look like that in the picture of the fox and the sour grapes, and he formally announces to the whole world, which of course comprehends all Ireland, that he never will serve his be loved country until he has the high satisfaction of seeing Mr. Secretary STANLEY and Lord ANGLESEY hanged! This latter announcement is, we confess, a little alarm ing. What Mr. STANLEY thinks of it we know. not ; but we are not surprised that the ex-viceroy has taken his somewhat hasty departure to a foreign country. If O'CONNELL be serious, not in meditating the death of these gentlemen, but in reviving the stormy question of repeal, and making the echoes of the Corn Exchange ring with the clamour of disaffection, then, in good sooth, his Majesty's ministers have more work carved out for them during the present winter and the ensuing spring than they could reasonably have calculated upon. Resist ance to the taxes here—repeal of the union there—the SAVAGES at work in London, and the LAwLESsEs in Dublin—SWlNG in England, ROCK in Ireland—why all this enough to drive Lord GREY into convulsions. It is no wonder that the kind-hearted and benevolent Lord DURHAM, seeing the distressed state of his near and amiable relative, has come forward to offer his services, and has condescended to accept office. We cannot see how affairs are to be conducted, with due regard to the public and family welfare, without the aid of the learned and ingenious author of the first reform bill, which Lord BROUGHAM, in a fit of sheer envy, tore all to pieces, and threw into the fire. But let us throw a veil over the weaknesses of human nature. In sober earnestness we beg to say that we should have no objection whatever to a repeal of the Union, provided Ireland could be better governed than she has been for the last ten years. We have no wish to see any increase in the professional duties of the hang man, but we must crave permission to say that until some men are hanged, and many more transported, there will be neither rest, peace, nor security in Ireland. The idea of that country being governed by a Parliament of its own is preposterous in the extreme. Before Irishmen — we speak of them generally—aspire to the offices of states men and legislators in their-own country, they must first make themselves competent to manage their own estates —they must provide for the wants of their starved te nantry, and evince a desire to introduce a wholesome sys tem of poor laws. They have had a Parliament of their own al ready, composed of their greatest orators, and elected by forty-shilling freeholders, Catholics being the majority; and a more base, venal, and corrupt Parliament never assembled on the face of the earth. Could they form a better Parliament now? We say no; we do not say worse, for that is impossible, but certainly not better. What nonsense is it then to prate about an Irish Par liament ? Och That the reform ministry and the reformed Parlia ment have .converted O'CONNELL into a bitter repealer is one of those astounding facts for which we were not prepared. But reasoning from the fact, a fortiori, we should say that a little more reform would convert him into a rebel. Such , a confession from so high an autho rity is worthy the attention of every class and descrip tion of patriots. There never was a government in England so gene rally despised by one class and detested by another as the present jobbing and grasping administration. Lord DURHAM for pugnacity and petulance—for littleness of mind and arrogance of manners—is a genuine Whig of the modern school ; but we much question if Lord DURHAM were prime minister to-morrow, whether he could bring the present or any other cabinet into greater contempt ; and this is saying-as much, in a guarded and respectful way. as can safely be said under the present libel laws. It is an undeniable though a . melancholy truth that the open violations of the law, now so common, and the many attempts to violate the law, some abortive and ()diets suc cessful, have one and all. without a single exception, had their origin in the example and the avowea pouncai pre- - cepts of his MAJESTY'S ministers. From that fatal hour when the KING'S Viceroy in Ireland encouraged the peo ple to agitate—to beat down the barriers of the consti tution—to menace the houses of legislature and intimi date the THRONE—from that hour— " May it stand aye accursed in the calendar ! there has been no regard paid to existing institutions— no respect for authority—no reverence for the KIN G .— From that hour we have been doomed to witness a pro gressive usurpation on the part of a noisy and malignant faction, who arrogate to themselves the title of "the peo ple." They are no snore the people of England than Sir JOHN KEY is the only baronet, Alderman WOOD the only Solon, Lord JouN RUSSELL the only dramatist, Lord AL THORP the only grazier, and Mr. MARK PHILIPS the only weaver in England. It has so happened, however, and this chiefly owing to the brick-bat and bludgeon system, and partly to the truckling and conciliatory disposition of the nobility and aristocracy, that these peopl e h ave seized the reins of authority, and usurped the sovereign power of the nation. The people of Ireland—or rather the Catholics of Ire land—demand a repeal of the Union! Who taught themo sound high note of dismemberment ? The conciliators connived at th e i r intrigues, who allowed who this sedition to go unpunished, and who with all the moral force of a Protestant empire to back them, tamely yielded to the threats of a disloyal priesthood and their tools of the Catholic association. This was the first vulnerable stab which struck at the reformed religion of the coun try, and next at those safeguards which formed the best defence of the British Constitution. Had these been surrendered from a conviction that they were no longer requisite, that all danger was past, and that no enemy lay in wait to take advantage . of our supposed security, the consequences might have been different--might have been conducive to the social happiness of all ranks and classes of the Protestant subjects of the House of Bruns wick. But so far from this being the case, the minis ters of that day capitulated without a struggle—without any excuse—without any real or apparent . necessity — without firing a gun; and to this moment no man, among their friends, has been bold enough to assign a good reason why they so tamely, we had almost said so basely, yielded.. Alas! who can tell how far England sank in the esti mation of the whole world in consequence of that error? When the. Duke of WELLINGTON came into office as the prime minister of GEORGE IV., our beloved country .stood the first, the greatest, the proudest, the most in fluential in Christendom. He had with him the best wishes, the zealous services, the sanguine hopes and sympathies of all the great and good. He was hailed as a uouqueror, armed to the proof, making war upon a pernicious system of policy. He rose like the sun all bright and glorious, but his beams were speedily dim med and environed by cloud and storm. He disregarded our ancient landmarks and went to wreck in a night— amid the ferocious cheers of the party he bad - courted— and the silent sorrow of the friends he had scorned. Then began the tempest. Popery had triumphed in Ireland—O'CONNELL and his band of traitors had achiev ed a victory—and all that was worth contending for merged beneath the newly acquired but ascendant power of the rabble. Catholic emancipation had this one good effect, however, arising from retributive and unerring justice. It kicked from their stools, and stripped of their honours, those paltry renegades of the Protestant party in Ireland who had advocated Catholic concession. It turned them all adrift, as the wind does the chaff in the winnowing machine of the farmer. They were rooted out stock and branch. Fot their liberality they were out voted, beaten, laughed at, despised, and consigned to oblivion. Professing Protestantism, and begging at the monk's gate,—affecting liberality without understanding the motives of the priests—doing the work of the fetid and grovelling matriculates of Mayne' oth, who are edu cated, if educated it can be called, at the expense of Eng land—they were treated as brushwood and flung into the fire. Do we say so ? Yes !—they merited all the oblo quy and infamy which have been cast upon them. The successful resistance to the law in Ireland was followed by resistance to the taxes in England. If law can be trodden upon with impunity in Ireland, where the rights of property or the KING'S taxes. are concerned, why for a similar object should the law not be violated in England ? This is, acting upon recognised conces sions, a home thrust. If agitation can save fourpence in the pound upon rent in Ireland, why should it not save threepence in England? The proposition, accord ing to the spirit of liberalism, is logically put, and no man can reasonably question the truism that five shillings saved by JOHN is equal to five shillings saved by PETER. But who encouraged the people of England to combine against the payment of taxes? The very same class of patriots who instructed the Catholics of Ireland to agitate. Concession raised the cry of repeal—reform and Lord MILTON raised the yell of resistance. The people were taught that all governments are bad, and that justice can only be extorted by brute force. Lord DURHAM told the' hole-and-corner whigs of Gateshead the other day, that whatever the people set their minds upon they may ob i taia, if they 'choose to exert their power. For "people" read mob, and then the vernacular apothegm of Lord DURHAM is translatable into tolerable English. The mob have been told this over and over again since the Whigs came into office. It was the regular pass word during the mania of the reform bill. " Stop the supplies !" bawled one fool; " Resist the taxes !" roared another ; "March to Windsor !" growled a third; "To arms and Hampstead Heath !" shouted the tinkers of Birmingham; "Down with the Lords, and no aristocracy !" yelled all the thieves of the political unions of London. Did the government ever attempt to suppress any of these sedi tious or treasonable cries ? No ; on the contrary their most active 'partizans were the first who raised them ; and we find Lord EBRIXGTON, and Lord MILTON, the Chancellor's brother, and the prime minister's son-in-law, not only joining in some of these rebellious shouts, but also in active correspondence, by means of Lord GREY'S .franks, with the political unions. The ministers them selves were forced back upon the King by means of these declarations of their active, but now called passive resist- ance. But this is not all. Another evil, arising out of the example set to the people by some of the members of the present administration, has reached a serious extent in the metropolis. We allude to the recent practice of hunt • ing down poor persons who sell unstamped publications in the streets of London. There is a case before us which is worthy of notice. A man of the name of Reeves was brought before Mr. WHITE, the magistrate at Queen's- , - square police office, on Monday last, charged with selling an unstampedpublication; . ealled the Police Gazette. The informer was a polite constable. When the man was seized, there was an attempt made by some three or four hundred persons to rescue him, in which attempt some blows and bruizes were given and received. We take what follows from the Times report:— " A larger bag of papers was handed to the Bench, containing the Police Gazette, several other publications, and a number of unstamped almanacs. " Defendant.—l wish to know whether the two witnesses are employed by the Commissioners of Startips ? " Seivier.—l am not, your worship. " The defendant contended at considerable length that with out a person was expressly employed by the commissioners they could not seize any person selling uustamped publications. " Mr. White referred back to the act of Parliament, and at once overruled the objection. " The defendant still denied the authority, and contended that the selling of the Police Gazette was perfectly justifiable. It was not a newspaper any more than the Penny Magazine, the Guide to Knowledge, or any other of the penny or twopenny publica tions. In fart, the Police Gazette was sanctioned by the Go vernment, and it was purchased by those employed under Go vernment. If it was illegal, it was most singular that Govern ment should never have attacked it before. lily did they strik e at the poor man who retailed it in the streets ? why attack the weakest part of the community? why not attack the proprietors of hundreds of shops wholsold the same publication? He was a gold chaser by trade, but could get no employment, and was compelled to sell different works to support his wife and family. With regard to striking the constable, it was false, and he had a dozen persons outside who could prove to the contrary. " Mr. White said, that he was clearly of opinion that the pub lication was a newspaper. He saw accounts from Lambeth- E rk t•dlan, Rnw-street, and other offices, and as he had conducted himself in such a violent manner to the omeeis, he should commit him for the full period of three months to the House of Correction. "Defendant.—l did not behave with violence. I suppose you will hear my witnesses, although lam a poor man. I have a number of witnesses outside to contradict the charge of violence. " Mr. White made no reply. "Defendant.—l can prove, sir, that the charge of violence is a conspiracy against me. That man (pointing to Scivier) I heard say, at the station-house, to his companion, in a low tone of voice, "Mind, he struck me." This, sir, is false, and I have witnesses ready to prove that I went quietly to the station-house. All I wanted to know from them was, by what authority I wa s apprehended. " Mr. White directed that all the legal papers should he de livered up to the defendant, and that the others should be detained. "Defendant.—These fellows have robbed me of about £3 worth of property; my wife and family must now go to the workhouse; they have no other means of support. This is the way that the poor-rates are increased by such tyrannical pro ceedings. (To the magistrate.)—l thank you, sir, for your merciful kindness ! ! ! "The defendant was then removed." Mr. WHITE'S idea of what constitutes a newspaper is curious. We suppose, if he saw corn and hay in a gen tleman's parlour, he would. consider the parlour to be a stable. This is police justice-and magisterial discrimina tion in London. His honourable worship, as Dogberry would say, observes that the said Gazette contains "ac counts from Lambeth -street, Hatton-garden, Bow-street, and other offices ;" that is to say, it contains the rubbish gleaned in these very respectable courts, describing how Peter Jones heat hi's wife, or Moll Smith assaulted her husband, she, the lady, being at the time in a high state of excitement from having drank eight glasses of gin and three pints of beer, the price of which, sixteen pence, she had that morning raised by pawning her husband's coat and breeches. Is it trash like this which constitutes a newspaper? or is there any particular crime in poaching on the manor of the police courts ? His worship seems to thinks so, and he is very sensitive on the subject. The • N- poor rogue is sent to the treadmill for three months for publishing police reports on unstamped paper We do not contend that Mr. WHITE has overstepped the limits of the law but we do contend that if this man Reeves deserves three months' imprisonment for unlaw fully retailing news, there is another man, Who is "by courtesy" called Lord BROUGHAM, and some three hundred of his agents and creatures, who deserve the same, if iot a longer term of imprisonment and hard labour on the treadmill. If such publications be fraudulent when sold by the poor man, similar publications are much more fraudulent when retailed by persons of wealth and in fluence. In punishing the poor man he is deprived of his bread ; and his family, as in the present instance, are thrown upon the parish, thus saddling the middle classes with the burthen of their maintenance; but, by sending his lordship and his friends to gaol, no injury would be done to society ; for, in the suppression of their illegal trade, additional work and profits would accrue to the in dustrious and deserving. If the needy only are punished, and the affluent and powerful are suffered to escape, then is there one law for the rich and another for the poor,. and these two laws are of Whig origin, illustrative of the sense of justice entertained by his MAJESTY'S ministers and the reformed Parliament. Here, then, we have another instance of the people being tempted to violate the law by high and authorita tive example. The Penny Magazine, established and patronized by Lord BROUGHAM, conducted by CHARLES KNIGHT, compiled by a legion of needy hacks—poor rogues who delight it paste and scissors—and hawked all over the country by certain political flying-stationers and by mountebanks of various kinds, is as much a news paper as the Police Gazette, for selling which the bro ken-down gold-chaser is sent to gaol. In fact, the former contains political information, and discusses questions of while the other confines its labours to the pure science of reporting the wit and wisdom of stipendiary magistrates. There must be an end put to all this un fairness and oppression forthwith. By the way, why do not the radicals of London - , in stead of clamouring about it, bring the power of the magistrates to issue by moving the Court of King's Bench for a Writ of habeas corpus in the instance of this man REEVES ? This would bring the act of Parliament under review, and give the country the benefit of the de cision of the first criminal court in the kingdom. We have spoken of one DANIEL in another article, and lo another is on our hands in the person of Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, M.P., &c., &c., &c. He has franked us a letter enclosing a printed slip taken from theTinzes newspaper, and he has moreover done us the honour to request that the said slip, which contains matter exceed ingly interesting to himself, may be inserted in the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. This is certainly an ingenious way of advertising the honourable gentleman, but al though Mr. HARVEY be an attorney, we are too far north for him ! LONDON LATEST NEWS.

I '. \ EMIGRANT SIM'S. We concluded an article on this subject in our last number, by an appeal to the feelings and purses of the inhabitants of Liverpool, for the relief of the wretched people, eighty in the whole, who were going out in the Cumberland. We then stated that a considerable number of these poor creatures were still in the ship, with one side of the vessel stripped; the greater part of them without bedding, and almost without food. They had, at that time, what are called berths,—meaning, by that term, a few loose, rough boards nailed up, in such a manner that no man who cared for his horse or his dog would think of putting them in such places. Since then even this miserable substitute for a place of rest or shelter has been taken from them. The preparation for repairing the ship has commenced,—their berths are knocked away ors the starboard side, and she is ordered to be stripped on the larboard side, previous to her being discharged or docked. This puts the seal to the misery of the passengers. their bedding thrown overboard, and the remainder rendered Without money to procure lodgings,—their provisions, pre pared for the voyage, almost entirely spoiled,—a great part of useless—they have nothing left to protect them from absolute starvation but the charity of their fellow-creatures. By the kind exertions of Lieutenant Low,—the government agent fur superintending emigrants,—the early subscriptions received have been promptly appropriated to meet the pressing want of food, in the proportions in which his personal knowledge of the several cases has enabled Lieutenant Low to appropriate the funds. A highly respectable professional house has, with equal kindness, undertaken, gratuitously, to obtain, if it be possible, a return of the money paid for their passages. Whether the law will compel this restoration or not we are unable to say. But if the laws of the land cannot be made to accomplish' it, surely the laws of humanity will suffice to enforce this bare and simple act of justice. But, suppose the money to be returned; or, which is equivalent, a passage be found for these people in some other vessel, (and the same charterers have another vessel loading,) the necessity still exists for contributing to their wants, by furnishing them with provisions and hedding, in lieu of those spoiled and lost, to enable them to prosecute the voyage; to which object it is in tended by the committee to apply the fund which may be raised beyond what is requisite in the meantime, with the most rigid economy, for supplying them with food. We hope, therefore, that a sufficient sum may be contributed for this purpose at the bar of the Exchange-room, or at the STANDARD Office, where books are placed. Our labours on this question it seems are not brought to a close. We have received a long letter signed "EDM D. WA L -1 NSH A W," who describes himself as the owner of the Moun taineer, to which vessel part of our late observations referred.— If it be the desire of the writer that we should publish the letter, we tell him that there are several reasons why we should not do so. It is too long—it indulges in unnecessary, and we may say, vulgar abuse of a most meritorious public officer, for no other reason than that he has faithfully performed his duty—and it does not disprove a single charge made against the defective arrangements of the ship. Moreover, it contains some expres sions which are not fit for the public eye. For all which rea sons, and we have many more, we will not do the writer so great a disservice as to put his letter into print; the more especially as it is probable he may, ere long, have to discuss the whole question with other parties. It may be almost too much to notice the proceedings of the race of low crimps concerned in this kind of business. But lest they should imagine they can carry forward their schemes with impunity, we shall just condescend to remark, for their informa tion,that themselves, their tricks, and their orgies, are all known; and may probably be soon noticed in a way that will be little agreeable to them. We are rather Argus-eyed, and quite bold enough to resolve, that it shall not be our faults if the whole system is not brought to a close, and speedily ; and the manage ment of emigrant ships must henceforward be restricted to those respectable houses who are, or may be, engaged in it.

The following evening it blew a fres h breeze, and the remaining part of the crew, which consisted of the mate, one seaman, and one boy, with the master's wif e considered, as the boat was small, that she must have been roe- in the attempt to get off to the ship. They remained off an d on about the place where the boat left the ship for five s ° o cessive da•ys, but could not see or hear any thing of thaw Captain Garwood supplied the Diana -Itith a cask of water! and, in consequence of the remaining crew having exprosied a wish for some assistance, ho sent Robert Duffield, one of h is seamen, on board.
