VENING DIT 0N • P 1T of the PUBLIC JOURN ALS. • FROM TZIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ( From the lYlorniny Chronicle.) We consider the work entitled " Chartism," written by Mesers. Lovett and Collins in Warwick gaol, as of so reuch interest in its connection with the condition and improvement of the working classes, that no apo cau he requisite for returning to the subject. As an eases' ore popular education, it is entitled to serious attelition. One of the writers, Mr. Lovett, identifies himself with the authorship of a previous tract on this sulijoet, Nshich we had occasion to mention in terms of high and merited commendation. The topic is not rie ssr to him. The school arrangements, which are des eribed at considerable length, show that he has bestowed much careful attention and thought upon the details of his plan. And the specimens of " lesson cards," scientific and moral, are so well drawn up, that they would form very useful aids for the intelii sent teacher, and not inappropriate subjects for the eopuler lecturer. These facts are evidence that the topic has not been taken up for a temporary pur pose. Sonic errors and crudities might probably be de tected on a close examination, but generally the work free from such glaring superficialities, fallacies, blun dering,s, and incongruities, as present the:nselees in the oublieations of many of the Tory clergymen and digni ;aries by whom the subject has been handled since it was aelde a party question. The writers evidently know enore about the matter than the Bishop of Exeter or tee Rev. R. Wilberforce. But our main reasons for directing public attention to the work would apply, were its contents of a much inferior description. They ere, first, that it tends to guide the Operatives to exer tions for their own improvement of a practicable and resist useful character ; and, secondly, that it opens a fair prospect of abating the alienation that has of late existed between the different classes of the community, anti of uniting them in beneficial co-operation. (From the Morning Advertiser.) " Is there to be a Holy Inquisition in England, and is the Editor of the Titees to be the Grand Inquisitor ?" These are questions which are in many men's mouths. Alderman Harmer is not to be Lord Mayor of Lon don, because his opinions on religion —no, not his opi 'dons, for he has distinctly denied them to be such, but the opinions of the Editor of a newspaper in which he has an interest—are contrary to the opinions of the Editor of the Times. Really we are arriving at a strange pass ? If opinion against practice is to deter mine the fitness of candidates for civic offices, where are we to stop? Whatever the opinions supported by the _Dispatch may ha, it is yet to be shown that Alderman Harmer is so iolltienced by them that he cannot be an efficient Chief Magistrate. He has been many years before the public as a Common Coun cilman, as a Sheriff, as an Alderman, as a Magis trate, how comes it to pass that those bad opi nions of the _Dispatch have not produced their evil fruits on his conduct while he served those offices The late Lord Mayor, Alderman Wilson, we believe, was his co-Sheriff. Did that amiable and exemplary gentleman, Conservative though he be, complain that , he doctrines of the Dispatch made his colleague a less efficient, a less zeacus, a less diligent enforcer of the laws than himiel: ? Alderman Harmer is a Magistrate ; has anybody charged him with being less a terror to aril-doers, and a praise to them that do well, than any of his brother Magistrates ? Yet he has been, during the whole time, just in the same position with regard to the Dispatch. If the Dispatch have not made him a bad Sheriff, a bad Alderman, or a bad Magistrate, how is it to make him a bad Lord Mayor ? Let many years of experience on one side go against a few isolated and unconnected passages in the Dispatch on the other. Mr. Walter, one of the proprietors of the Times, is an enemy of the New Poor-law—he avows, he glories in ;t—it is his own opinion, not merely the opinion of one of the servants of the various proprietors of the Times—yet would any one say that Mr. Walter would be a bad Magistrate on that account, or that he would cease to enforce those laws which he has all his life, as at good citizen, felt bound to enforce, and officially en breed ? If it would be unjust to deprive Mr. Walter of the County 'Magistracy because the Times in 1830 was a Radical, or because the Times in 1840 is a Tory, it not equally unjust to seek to deprive Alderman idarmer of that position which a long and blameless life of public services has fairly earned for him, though the Dispatch may be as much a zealot for its own opinions as the Times was, is, and ever will be ? " Judge not lest ye be judged," is a divine command. "Do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you," is another. By which of these commandments would the Tinres like to be judged itself in this case ? The tette, thank God, has gone by for men to refuse to each other that which is just merely on the ground of difference of opinion. "To deal damnation round the land, on each we judge HIS foe" belonged to a former age, it belongs not to this. If the Times seeks to raise a war-whoop of religion against a public func tionary against whose fitness for office it has nothing else to allege—where will it stop? If orthodoxy is to be the Shibboleth of the Civic Chair, whit is to be the precise rule by which we shall judge—is it to be the orthodoxy of the Oxford Tracts, or the orthodoxy of the Exeter pamphlets ? The Times accused Alderman Harmer of being an Old Bailey attorney. He is not one. The Times accused Alderman Harmer of feasting the Livery at Ingress Abbey. It was obliged to confess that it was then mistaken. Now what would en honour able man, what would agent/man have done under such circumstances ? Would be not have sought to repair the injustice he had committed by an immediate and full retractation ? Did the Times so act ? Did it not add I insult to injury when compelled to confess its misstate ments ? We are happy to hear that reasonable and upright men, who refuse to be blinded by prejudice, and will not mix themselves up with personal quarrels—who will not make the successful opposition to the election of Mr. Walter for Southwark, a groundwork for oppos ing the election of Alderman Harmer to the Civic Chair, are bestirring themselves in all quarters—that a counter address is about to be signed, and that without seeking to derogate from the fair claims of the Times as an able and influential public journal, Will deny its right to dic tate to the City of London who shall or who shall not be its Chief Magistrate. (From the Morning Herald.) The Poor-law Commissioners have published another of their annual Reports. The document which those functionaries have now submitted to the public is as unsatisfactory as all its predecessors. All the predic tions of the original supporters of the new Poor-law I have been signally falsified by the result. The new Poor-law, as the world was assured, was destined to effect immense savings to the nation, as well as to " elevate the morality of the labouring classes." The effect of the new Poor-saw on the labouring classes has been to convert a large propor tion of them into enemies to the institution of pro- I party. The effect of the new Poor-law on the national wealth has been to withdraw a large portion of that wealth front the maintenance of productive indus try—and to introduce forms and modes of public ex pense utiknown to the old constitution. In almost every union in England the rates are rising rapidly—al thoueh every effort is used by the men who work the new Poor-law, to reduce the expense; attending its ope ration. Then among the collateral expenses (so to speak) of the new Poor-law must be set down the ex pense of a rural police, and of all those other contri vances for checking that disaffection to which the new Pew-law itself gives rise. (From the Morning Post.) The Palace-patronised Globe has no less than two feeding articles yesterday evening full of waspish re marks upon the Tories, and of weak commendation of the Whigs. What's the matter now, to provoke such manifest indications of being ill at ease ? 13 it possible that all this ill-humour is vented because the day was wet and uncomfortable, and other topics of remark did pct happen to present themselves ? The ingenious and philosophical Globe ought not to be thus affected by such contingencies. Well, then, has our Contempo rary heard any bad news —any intelligence to make doubtf u l t h e forbearance of the leading Conservatives when P ar li ament re-assembles? Something, we fear, mast have gone wrong with our gentle Contemporary, either i n rea li ty or instupposition, to i n d uce t h e excec l- ing Isetf u l ness of thaty•es into the W e must not forget, h owever, ti midst of it s bitt er com plaints o ur Contemporaryas inte rjecte d some cur i ous fo,lilgorv:l,ntng h i t: a samp l e : i nfo " i n 'h i e ti e ° s n s . enee T f e \‘ the popular pert of our mixed ins 9 o: s n r :, a l a t I n e d a 'at such nagtiis,ptno,,,issviil:odinst to enlarge the basis of thorn institutions, a ppears necessary t o a d m i t the new demands and ir.flu. ences which have grown up in sceiety." We must not for the future be surprised at the want of exactness and firmness in the conduct is n( ofuct ) thenlo more h t u rs:, since the very •` essence of their policyml " a " general leaning aht disposi t i on " towards the popular parts of our institutions. It is not often that an " e. - -•sence" is EU diffuse and undecided in its character. And it is not merely t hat the essence of Whi ggery consists rivre l y i n a general leaning and di spos i t i on towards certain views of policy, but even this lean ing and this disposit:on i are only occasional ; that is to sly, " at such times as it appears necessary to aarnit the new demands and influences which have grown up in society." Now, all the force of this philosophy de perels upon the real nature of the above limitation. " At such times as it appears necessary." As it appears to 'ph" , 9 lf the " disposition" to make liberal enlarge mews, and so forth, is °Lily to exist when such things appear to the Wbigs to be necessary—if this be the es sence of Whi;rgisni, why, where after ad le it great liheralilrf ?

The whole matter de upon the different views of that shiest eorestitirtes a necessity. FROM THE DAMN PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. ( I_ Fr"" t he Globe.) Tilere is a well -Known story of two Athenian archi te,ts, one of whom t o ld t h e people, at great length, the fin:! thiegs he ' I " ea P .6l,, and the other contented hirnielf via saying —" Aa he has talked about, I will Th e Athamans thou g h t the shorter speech the `L r . to t h e purpose. The Times has dilated largely on the fine things the Tories will do in office. That party, it sems, has not enjoyed any fair " official opportunity of showing its policy under the great con sti; utional reforms of our time." The Times, therefore, loth promise and vow the following things for them, as these interesting " babes of grace" cannot yet dispense with such solid sponsors " They will resist o rganic changes in the Cons'ution, not only because, as Lord John Russell once oddly ob served, it is inconvenient to have a revolution every year,' but because such changes, whatever be the time selected, are in themselves injurious to that very people whose ad vantage is pretended to be the object of them. They will oppose the repeal of the Union, because the separa tion of the empire is the weakness of its people. They will maintain the provision or th e Ch urc h, b ecause an esta blished religion is the people's best security for their pro perty, their peace, and their happiness, present and final. They will give to each existing institution the benefit of that fair presumption in its favour wh;ch arises from the very fact of its existence, in opposition to the theorists who assure us that whatever is is wrong.' But where abuses are proved,' where time has gathered dust or fraud has bred corruption, where remains of obsolete legislation lie like fallen logs across the path of im provement, where fair principle is crippled by foul prac tice, where the natural freedom of individuals is narrowed for any other purpose than the good of the whole—in a word, wherever reform has an honest meaning, the Con servative party are prepared to adopt, to encourage, to assist it." There is only one particular in this new manifesto of Toryism, to save it from the charge of entire plagia- ' risen from Whig principles. This is the unqualified dogma of resistance to all organic changes, " whatever be the time selected"—as invariably injurious in them selves. This never has been, and never can be, a Whig principle, for the essence of Whiggism is a general leaning towards the popular part of our mixed institutions, and a disposit'on to enlarge the basis of those institutions, at such times as it appears necessary to admit the new demands aad influences which have grown up in society. The refusal of all organic changes, " whatever be the time selected," we are willing to re gard as a real distinction between Tories and Whigs ; but the implied imputation upon the latter, of being opt to sanction such changes lightly, is contradicted by their whole recent conduct, and indeed (with characteristic inconsistency) is every now and then admitted to be false by the Tories themselves, when it suits their pur pose to persuade the Radicals that they have no motive for supporting Ministers. (From the Standard.) Great as arc the universally-admitted conveniences of railroad travelling, its advantages are in a fair way of being counterbalanced by the selfish and reckless indif ference to the safety and comfort of their passengers which has been manifested of late by several railroad Companies—an evil which can only be remedied by some stringent legislative enactment which shall com pel the serious attention of such speculators to its consequences. In an age of utilitarianism like the pre sent it is tyt surprising that such a mode of conveyance should have become popular. We have not, however, as yet arrived at that pitch of commercial enterprise which constitutes" going ahead" of our neighbours the sumnzufn bosium of human existence. Still less can we be brought to believe that, for the sake of additional speed in travel ling, we ought to sacrifice personal comfort and the safety of lite and limb. The numerous and dreadful accidents which have occurred upon various railways in England during the last few months, and the many in stances of neglect, insolence, and imposition which have been practised up. ti the public by the servants of such Companies, have completely satisfied us that they have been laid under much too slight restriction from tho first. The principal and most important complaint against them is one which, however it may be diminished, cannot, for some time at least, be wholly remedied. It is affirmed (and several of the recent railway catastrophes afford abundant evidence of the fact) that the lives of thou sands of people are hourly intrusted to persons destitute of any scientific knowledge, and paid a rate of wages for their services, which no person in the possession of such knowledge would consent to receive. It is noto rious, that beyond some previous practice on the tenders which convey earth from one part of the road to another, and the knowledge which they are enabled to acquire whilst stokers of engines, whose management is hereafter to be entrusted to them, they are as destitute of practical as they are of theoretical knowledge. That such a mode of arrangement is susceptible of improvement cannot be doubted. A larger rate of remuneration would most likely induce persons infinitely better qua lified co undertake such situations. This would add, no doubt, to the expenses of the Company ; but the in creased confidence it would create would more than compensate for it ; for the knowledge that the property and lives of several hundred human beings of all ranks in society are entrusted to a man in the receipt of from 20s. to 2:as. a-week, wholly unacquainted with the nature of the machine he is conducting, must of itself deter hundreds, and even thousands of persons from availing themselves of such modes of conveyance. (From the Courier.) We yesterday laid before our readers two important documents in reference to the Eastern question—a copy of a despatch from Marshal Soult to the Baron De Bourqueney, dated Paris, July, 1839, and of a memo randum addressed to Lord Palmerston by M. Guizot, of the date of July 24, 1840, both strikingly illustra tive of the view the French Cabinet all along took of the Eastern dispute, and of the most likely as well as eligible mode of bringing it to an amicable ter mination. We may dismiss the Marshal's despatch with the brief remark that its spirit and tenour perfectly ac cord with the sentiments and views more fully and more clearly developed in the note addressed to Lord Pal merston, by the distinguished and keen-sighted states man that now so opportunely occupies the post of French Ambassador in this country. The latter gives a clear, careful, and correct exposition of the motives by which France has been actuated from the commencement of the negotiation with the other Powers of Europe for the settlement of the dispute between the Porte and Egypt ; and of the objects at which alone she aimed through out, namely, the continuance of peace and the preserva tion of the balance of power in Europa. M. Guizot's argument assumes the form of a temperate and well seasoned remonstrance both against the policy of the treaty of July, and the inefficiency and danger of the means determined upon by the Four Powers for carry ing it into execution. France, be tells Lord Palmerston, deems as ill conceived any project that aims at wr 'st ing from Mehemet Ali by force of arms the portions of the Turkish empire he at present occupn ; and as by no means advantageous to the Sultan, as it would be only restoring to him that which he con' l neither rule nor retain ; she also looks upon such t course as in no way conducive to the maintenance e f the balance of power in Europe, as, while it would ad nothing to the strength or available resources of the Sultan, it would materially weaken a vassal who might lend, it required, a powerful assistance to defend the empire at large. There is great force, but little novelty, in this argument of M. Guizot ; it is moreover well and temperately put. BEATING THE BOUNDS. Yesterday the Churchwardens, Overseers, Guar dianF, Collectors, Beadles, and every other officer be longing to the parish of St. Mary, Newington, together with about twenty of the inhabitants, assembled at the Workhouse, in the Walworth-road, for the purpose of reviving the ancient ceremony of beating the bounds of the parish, aceordiftr to a notice which had been ex tensively circulated for the previous fortnight. After hearing a sermon and partaking cf luncheon the procession was formed, and, besides the above-named personages, consisted of all the boys from the workhouse and those belonging to the parish school, and two im portant individuals, whose duty it was to wade through all the muddy streams which formed the boundaries on the South and East sides of the parish. The day was very unfavourable, but the ceremony being a new one to many persons (not having been performed during the last eleven years) there was n• lack of spectators throughout the whole line. All persons whose property abutted upon the bounds had been warned to remove all obstacles to the free pas sage of all engaged in the ceremony—the injunction had been pretty generally complied with, doorways having been made through nearly all wooden fences ; where the warning had not been attended to, little ceremony was used in making an opening by persons engaged fur the purpose. When brick walls came in the way, the matter was more serious ; too much time would have been wasted, and the expense would have been much increased. In order to save both, the grave-diggers of the pa rish accompanied the procession with two sets of la Iders, with which all obstacles were overcome. Although it rained almost incessantly, the whole ceremony passed off in great good humour, and without any accident, except to the ga) clothing of those im portant functionaries, the Beadh s, whose gold lace was none the better for the washing it got.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1840. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A girl aged 17, named Ward, her brother, quite a boy, and a girl about 18, named Holows, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having run away from the house of a publican at Sheerness, the father of the two former. The father said that his son and daughter had run away from home on Monday morning, and be caught them, with the assistance of the police, just as they were about to go in a steamer to Hull, in company with Holmes, who had lodged in his house. He did not mean to give his Lordship any trouble about his chil dren, whom he meant to take home at once, but the po lice had thought proper to require that he should appear at the Mansion-house. Police Sergeant Williams said Mr. Ward's daughter tad so extraordinary a tale about the cause of her de parture from her father's house, that the Inspector con sidered it necessary to let the Lord Mayor hear the cir cumstances. The LORD MAYOR asked the publican whether his children were not dutiful ? Mr. Ward said that he had had a great deal of trouble with his daughter, who had " ticed" her brother away from home. She had unfor tunately fallen in love with a drummer who belonged to a regiment which had been quartered at Sheerness, and which had lately gone to Hull, to which place she was lollop ing him ashen she was stopped. Sergeant Williams said the girls both stated that they left the house of Mr. Ward because they were disgusted at the permission given to sailors to introduce their tern porary wives to its most private apartments, and also because " ready wives" were kept there, of whom Holmes refused to become one. Mr. Ward—l deny the truth of that statement. The LORD MAYOR—Do you allow persons indis criminately to occupy your apartments? Mr. Ward— It's none of my business to ask any questions. I aint curious if people come in. I know nothing about their business, but let my rooms to any one at all, for my house is a public house, my Lord. You'll mind that— it's a public house. The LORD MAYOR—DO you mean to say that your house is kept in en orderly manner? Mr. Ward— Orderly ? Yes. These is no disorder. I never ask questions, and people go in and out as they choose. Sergeant Williams said the publican admitted that his house was not as it had been described to be, and defended the plan upon which it was conducted upon the ground that it protected those of the sex who were rather particular.—(A laugh.) Mr. Ward—l ask no questions. Now my daughter pretends all this nice objection because she wants to go atter the drummer, who is in Hull ; acid it makes me quite mad to think of this drummer, he's such a low connexion. Mr. Hobler said a man who kept a house of such a kind could not reasonably expect that his daughter would meet with a more eliglble husband. sergeant Williams stated that the daughter declared that if her father took her home, she would contrive to escape, for she would not stay in such a house on any account. Holmes said that she had come away with Mr. Ward's daughter and son, because she did not fancy being a sailor's wife, according to the system described, at the publican's request, who told her that she could not stay except she was companionable. The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean that you were expected to be the wife of any of his customers ? Holmes—Yes, my Lord. There were three girls of the kind in the house, and he wanted me to be the fourth. Mr. Ward said he had not required anything of the sert, and he should have nothing more to do with Miss Holmes. The LORD MAYOR—And what do you do with this poor boy ? Does he go to school, or is he at any trade ? Mr. Ward—No, my Lord, I can't say he is—he is but a child. The LORD MAYOR—And so you have him at home, idling amongst these sailors and women ? Mr. Ward No, he an't idle. Boy—Please you, Sir, I plays upon the fiddle. Toe LORD MAYOR—It is evident that you neglect them both. Your daughter is a witness to those degrad ing scenes, and your son scrapes the fiddle in the tap room. I trust that you will look better to them. His Lordship then asked the son and daughter whether they wished to go home. The son at once consented, and the daughter said that she bad no objection, but she would rather go to service. Mr. Ward, however, assured her that she should have no cause to regret her consent to return, and father and children left the Mansion House. Holmes, who said she bad an aunt at Islington, de clared that she rejoiced at her departure from Sheer ness, and was taken to her relations here by the direc tion of the Lord Mayor, who considered the scene a very unfavourable sample of the morals of Sheerness. A young man, named Thomas Charles Lynn, was charged before Alderman Hooper, on Monday, with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Robins, No. 139, Houndsditch, umbrella and cloth-cap manufacturer. Mr. Christopher T. Robins, a partner in the firm, stated that the prisoner had been in their service for the last two months. Between two and three o'clock on Saturday, witness having, on examining some um brellas in the packing warehouse, found that a wrong ticket was affixed to one of them, desired that the pri soner should be called to give an explanation. The prisoner attended, and turned round for the purpose of getting another ticket, but the light having shone upon his coat-pocket, betrayed the light-coloured selvage of a piece of silk which appeared to fill the pocket. Wit ness suspected that the prisoner had been stealing some of the property of the firm, and told him not to mind the ticket, but that he might go to his dinner. The prisoner accordingly went into the street, and witness followed, apprehended, and brought him back to the shop. A policeman immediately afterwards searched, and found in , his pocket forty-eight yards of puce coloured figured silk, and some other silk inside his trousers. There were also found upon him twenty•two ivory umbrella mountings, and eleven Coquina umbrella and parasol mountings, all the property of the firm. The property found upon the young man was worth at least 101. Patrick (Policeman No. 443) stated that after having take❑ from the prisoner the above-mentioned property, he went to the prisoner's lodgings in Buckle -street, Whitechapel, and found in his room the sum of 10/. 18s. The prisoner said that he was very sorry for what he had done, and begged tnat his master would forgive him. Alderman HOOPER—Do 3ou wish to say anything now ? Prisoner—Nothing at all. Committed for trial. him, and having obtained one went to the hospital, where it was at first thought that the small bone was broken. The surgeon bound it up with splints, and I was unable to get out of bed till yesterday. I can't use my arm yet. Mr. Head—What became of the chairs at last? Complainant—Mr. Kellett's son put them on his shoulders, and ran away as fast as he could, turning round and laughing at me as he went along. In reply to Mr. Kensett, comp:alnant said—l did not run into the street after your son ; I went no further than the door. I did not abuse you in the street, but in the passage. I called you a shabby vagabond, as you arc. Six years ago you promised to send me a sove reign, but although you only let me have 10s. you en tered 1/. in the book. Mr. Head—The fact is, Sir, the complainant's son purchased these two chairs of Mr. Kensett, who, having met with a customer for them, wanted them again, and, as it seems, has by most extraordinary means obtained them. Complainant's evidence was, for the most part, cor roborated by her daughter-in-law. and Matthew Rose, the owner of the house, the former of whom mentioned that she had heard repeatedly her husband say that Mr. Kensett, for whom he had worked, owed him 3/. ; and the latter set forth that when complainant interfered to prevent the removal of the chairs Mr. Kensett took bold of her round the body and held her in a very unbe coming way. Mr. Kensett to Rose—Where is the man Sparrow now ? Rose—l can't tell. The chairs were left in my charge, and I looked upon them as mine, for rent which was owing to me. They were removed into Sparrow's apartment last Saturday. Mrs. Rose further said that on the landing there was a great scufll.• between Mr. Kensett and the corn pldinant, and she every moment expected that some of the windows would be smashed. Ttie woman was struck and pushed about shatrieluily, and when 'oung Kensett got into the street he put the chairs on his I:ead and laughed, crying out, " Come along, father." Mr. Kensett—You swear I struck In t, do you ? Mrs. Rase—Yes ; you struck her up stairs and clown stairs too. Mr. Kensett made a statement, from which it ap peared that the elder Sparrow and his son had bern in the employ of him (Mr. Kensett), and that the latter having overdrawn his account, had left his work un finished ; the consequence of which was, that a number of chairs which were to have been done at a certain time were returned on his (Mr. liensett's) t, ands, together with soma rosewood couches. upon which the younger Sparrow had also been engaged. The latter had been brought before Mr. Rawlinson for neglect of duty, when he (Mr. Knisett), not wishing to be harsh with him, consented to let the warrant stand over, on a promise being given that the unfinished work should be completed in fourteen days. He took the two chairs home, but neglected to return them, as per agreement, and as he (Mr. K.) understood that they were about to be seized by the landlord for rent, he thought himself justified in obtaining possession of them, and accordingly took his son with him tar that purpose. It had been said that Sparrow had pur chased the articles for 31., by which it was meant to be inferred that he looked upon them as being his, on the ground that that amount of wages was due to him. Such, however, was not the fact, as he (Mr. K.) would not, in the event of the proper completion of the ar ticles, have been indebted to him more than a few shillings. Mr. HARDWICK—What do you say to toe assau lt sworn to? Mr. Kensett—She flew at my son, and I only took hold of her to remove her. I used no more force than was necessary ; and, if what I did is looked upon as an assault, then I must plead guilty to have com mitted one. Mr. Kensett then called his son, who stated that the complainant struck him (witness) on the breast, telling him that he should not take the chairs. He did not see his father strike her, nor did she complain at the time that he had done so. She was much excited, aed called his father a brute, a rascal, and a vagabond. Complainant here put in a certificate, which went to show that she was an out-patient of Middlesex Hospi tal from a slight bruise on her right arm. The paper in question was dated the same day (yesterday), and complainant exhibited her arm. which certainly was not much discoloured, and said that it was in a very swollen and painful condition when she first went to the institu tion in question ; the splints which were hound on by the surgeon were not removed till yesterday morning. Mr. H AILDWICI told Mr. Kensett that he had been guilty of a trespass. and had altogether adopted a most unjustifiable and illegal mode of gaining possession of the chairs. There could be no doubt whatever, from the evidence adduced, that he had committed a serious assault, for which, if the parties had taken the case else where, he might perhaps have been mulcted in a heavy amount. After some further remarks on the part of the Magis trate and Mr. Read, the later of whom begged that the matter migl►t not be decided summarily, Mr. Kensett was held to bail for his appearance to answer the charge at the Sessions. THE REGISTRATIONS. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Falconer, the Revising Barrister, resumed his sitting at the Court house, Marylebone. Messrs. Ivimey and Allen again appeared as the rip presentatives of the " Borough of Marylebone Reform and Registration Association," to defend the Liberal interest, and Messrs. Greenwood and Rook that of the Tory party. On the Learned Barrister taking his seat, he said there were several cases of considerable iraportance, in which he bad deferred his judgment, and he thought he had better decide upon them prior to entering into any other business, inasmuch as many cases might transpire in course of the revision, to which the same decisions would apply. Mr. FALCONER then proceeded to give judgment in the case of Sir Henry Webb. He said he found that in the parish of St. Marylebone there was but one rate made in the year for the relief of the poor, extending from January to the end of the year, and that it was raised by two half-yearly collections. The rate (or 1839 did not contain the name of Sir Henry Webb, the person rated for the house occupied by him was Mr. Jeringham, and he wis rated as well as on the year 1839, for the year 1840. On the 16th of July, 1840, a claim to be rated was served on the part of Sir Henry Webb. At this time the arrears of the last half year of 1839 were due and unpaid. No tender of the arrears due was made when this claim to be rated was made. It was contended that the tender WAS not necessary, and that, it necessary, Mr. Jering ham, having authorised the Collector to obtain the amount of the rate at the .bark of Messrs. Wright, there would have been no arrears due on July 16, it an application to the bank had been made, as it might have been, before the 16th of July. It is said that all that is requisit e un d er t h e 27 t i l and 30th sections of the Reform Act is, that there should be a tender of such arrears only as are due, of rates made during the twelve months' occupation ending the last day of July last, and which would have been payable by Sir H. Webb on the 6th day of April last. In the pre sent case, no rate had been made between the Ist day of August, 1839, and January, 1840, and there fore it was not necessary that he should have been on that rate, or hare paid any part of it, and that .the rate of the first half year of 1840 was not due on or before April the Gth last, and therefore no part of the rate of this year needed to have been paid in July ; and that, as it was not requisite that he should have been on the rate of 1839, the non-payment of any part of it by Mr. Jering ham did not affect his right to be registered. This view of the case, however, could not be sustained. The 30th section entitled persons to put themselves upon the rate for the time being. This they could not have done previous to the Reform Act being passed, but in order to avail themselves of the power given by this section, it is expressly stated, " that they shall tender the full amount of rate or rates if any be then due ;" that is, due when the claim to be rated is made. It appeared that there were arrears due when this notice of claim to be rated was given, and he (the Learned Barrister) could not avoid the consequences of the plain and distinct words used in this section of the Act. There was no tender of the arrears when the claim to be rated was made, and the claim to be rated was therefore insufficient. By this deci sion Sir H. Webb would not be affected in a future registration, if the landlord did not pay those arrears on or before the 20th of July next. He is liable to pay the rates from the time his name is put on the rate, and if paid by him for this year on or before July 20th next, the non-payment of the arrears of last year on or be fore July 20, 1841, by Mr. Jeringham, would not dis qualify him. The effect of the non-payment of the arrears of Mr. Jeringham at this time is the conse quence of the provisions of the 30th section of the Act. The claim of Sir H. Webb to be registered must be disallowed, and the fact that the collector might have obtained the amount of the rates due by Mr. Jeringham at Messrs. Wright's, would not affect his decision. To make an efficient claim to be put upon an existing tate, there must be a tender of arrears then due, such tender cannot be made without inquiry, and inquiry should have been made of the overseers, or of the collector. Had this been done, the arrears would probably have been paid, and his name have been placed on the Register. The above decision applied also to the case of Henry Hays, Joseph Seymour, Thomas Boulter, Wm. Broad hurst, and several others deferred for judgment. Mr. FALCONER then gave judgment in the case of Edward Clayton, who claimed as the landlord of No. 3, Upper Rath bone-place. He did not reside there, but reserved a back workshop with a right of entrance, and a single room on the third floor, in which he occasionally slept. He kept no servant himself, but paid the ser vant of the sub-tenant occasionally for services rendered him. The Learned BARRISTER said in cases similar to the 'present the decisions of Revising Barristers and Com mittees of the House of Commons were too numerous to justify him in varying from the conclusions esta blished. He, however, felt great difficulty, inasmuch as by such an occupation as the present the tenant of the greater portion of the house was prevented from being put upon the register so long as the landlord occupied - - the smallest particie thereof. Under all the eiretimstances he should have hesitated to have placed the claimant's name upon the register, if the cases already determined were not too many to justify his rejocting them. The effort that had been made in cases like the present had been to preserve or support the vote immediately under discussion, and the effect of the decision in support of th e vote upon the tenant of the greater part of the pre mises, and who is constant occupation of them, and whose interest in the premises is equally important with that of the landlord or of any joint tenant, has been en tirely disregarded. The claim, which of course decides many others, was admitted. Mr. Thomas John Burgoyne, the late returning officer for the borough, Mr. Thos. Burgoyne, Mr. John Charles Burgoyne, and Mr. Joseph Wm. Thrupp, were objected to by the Reformers upon the ground that in their joint occupancy as partners of the houses Nos. 21 and 22, Stratford-place, there was not a sufficient interest on the part of each to qualify them to vote. Mr. Thomas John Burgoyne was called by the Tory agents, and stated that the houses were leased to him alone ; and as he found, under the Reform Act, that partners must either be tenants or lessees, he did not wish to press the right of his sons. The house No. 22 was occupied by him and his partners as a place of bu siness, and, although his property, it was underlet to the firm for the term of their partnership. Mr. FALCONER said that did not prove that there tvas a joint interest in the premises on the part of every one of the partners. The Reform Act distinctly speci fied that partners must either be owners or tenants, which was not proved in the present case, as referred to the witness's two sons. He should allow the objec tion in all the three cases, reserving to Mr. Thrupp, if he thought proper, the right to produce the lease, in order to show that he had a distinct interest. With this reservation the three names were expunged. Mr. Frederick Grace and Mr. John Frederick Grace were objected to, on the part of the Reformers, as the joirt occupants of the house, No. 14, Wigmore•street. It appeared that the house had been leased in 1827 by a Mr. Fenner to Mr. Crace, sen„ and a Mr. Clarke ; latterly Mr. Clarke had assigned his interest in the pre mises to his (Mr. Crace's) son. The lease was for 28 years, and the son took part in the business. Mr. FALCONER said this case was somewhat similar to one where a landlord holds possession of a house, and sub-lets a portion of it. The lease having been made originally to Mr. Crace, sen., he had exclusive posses sion agi;inst his son, and therefore the objection was a va i l one, and he must ailow it. Tae name of John Frederick Cracc was accordingly expunge 1. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., MT., the Member for the borough, was objected to by the Tories, upon the ground that he had not paid the assessed taxes for his house, No. 65, Wimpolc-street. Mr. Ivimey opposed the objec'ion. It was prove 3 that there were twelve months Queen's taxes due, and the name of the Hon. Baronet was expunged. The name of Lord Like and Lord William Fitzroy were also expunged ; the former upon the ground that he was a Peer of the Realm, which species of objection was first introduced by the Tory party, and the latter upon the ground that he let his house furni4ed. There were no other cases of general public import ance, and the Court adjourned at 5 o'clock till this day, From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen.waters, Herts, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle -street, Piccadilly, and 76, King William-street, Bark of England. —Gentlemen, having been deaf for many years, I uas induced from recommendation to try your Invisible Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of worship most distinctly; and is consequence of the great ad vaivage which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you, and I am happy to state that their report is similar to mine, most favourable. The Spectacles and Hand glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass anything of the kind I have ever tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that although I have passed my bath year, the 22d of May last, yet they en able ni e to read, &e., by candle- light with the greatest ease and comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and remain your most obedient servant, HENRA CowrEa.-22d of June, 1839.—The Messrs. Solomons state that there are numerous persons in London and in the country, as well as in Ireland, assuming the name of Solomons, who have endeavoured to imitate their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor and newly- invented Spectacle Lenses, but the ma terials being a secret to themselves, and the various mode of their application to the eye and ear not being known to them, their spurious imitations have therefore been found to be use less. The Messrs. S. have no connection with persons of the same name : their valuable inventions are solely confined to their Establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King William-street, Bank.

The Queen has been pleased to present the Reverend George Thomas Marsh, Clerk, M.A., to the Rectory of Foxley, in the county of Wilts, and diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, void by the promotion of Doctor Philip Nicholas Shuttleworth to the See of Chichester. BOW-STREET. A young man, named Richard Marlin, well known to the police as an associate of thieves, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged with stealing a roll of flannel consisting of seventy-four yards, value 3/. and upwards, the property of Mr. Charles Hawkins, linendraper, 29.7, Tottenham Court-road. Constable Reshawe, 49 E, stated that about ten o'clock on the morning of Saturday, 19th inst., he saw the prisoner proceeding through king -street, towards Long-acre, with the property produced on his shoulder, when he stopped hint, and on demanding how he came possessed of it, he threw it down, saying that a person who was a total stranger to him had given it to him to take to the Bull Inn, Holborn. He was asked where the stranger was, and the prisoner said he d►d not know, but he supposed he intended to meet him at the inn, to pay him for his trouble. Observing that he was rk* going in the direction of Holborn, after making some re sistance, he was conveyed with the ptoperty to the station-house. Mr. Dykes, shopman to the prosecutor, identified the flannel as being the property of his employer. It was safe•, with other articles, on the area grating, half an hour before the prisoner was apprehended with it in his possession. Another shopman stated that the prisoner had been observed lurking about the shop window, in company with others, o❑ a former occasion, when prints and other property, which had been exposed for show, had been stolen. The prisoner could give no other account of the pro perty than wEat he gave the constable when he took hint into custody, and he was fully c&minitted to New gate for trial. MARYLEBOIVE. On Tuesday Mr. HACDWICK was engaged in the investigation of the following charge against Mr. Kensett. the well-known member of the vestry and and board of guardians of St. Marylebone : The defendant is a chairmaker, residing in Mortimcr street, Cavendish-square. - Mr. Head, from the office of Mr. Steele, Hatton garden, attended on behalf of the complainant, Mrs. Ann Sparrow, whose arm was bandaged up, owing to the injury she had received. Complainant stated that her son occupied a room at No. 33, Ogle-street, for the rent of which she is an swerable. On Saturday last she went to the apartment to fetch away several things, and amongst them were two library chairs, for which her son bad paid 3/. While there Mr. Kensett and his son knocked at the door, and on their making their way into the room, the latter was addressed by his father, who told him to take the chairs. She (complainant) stated that she could not think of letting them go unless he paid for them 31. He refused to do anything of the sort, and was very violent in his manner. . _ Mr. Head—State particularly what occurred. Complainant—He tried to remove the chairs from the apartment, andon my endeavo ur i ng to preven t him he seized hold of both my arms, and dragged me by main force against the bedstead, where he held me till his son took the property away. I succeeded in getting into the passage, and told his son that he had no right to carry the chairs off, and my daughter immediately went for the police. A constable soon afterwards arrived, but he refused to act, saying that it appeared to him to be a quarrel in which he - had no right to interfere. He then left the place, when Mr. Kensett struck me twice with his umbrella on my right arm, and kart it very much. I applied directly fora warrant against CORONER'S INQUESTS. • FATAL FlGur.—On Monday evening the Jury which was impaneled Hore Mr. Wakley on Saturday morn ing last, re-assembled at the Duke of Wellington, Brighton-street, Cromer-street, to investigate the cir cumstances attending the death of Ttionias Barker, a cab-driver, aged 24, who died in consequence of a pu gilistic rencontre with Henry Presdee. a barber. The inquiry was adjourned, for the purpose of Presdee, who is in custody, being brought forward. He, however, was not forthcoming, Mr. Combo, the Magistrate of Hatton-garden Police Court, before whom he had been examined, refusing to give any order on the subject. CORONER—You find, gentlemen, that we have got to that stage that we must have some proper course to pursue. I cannot see why the accused is not brought before this Court. It was the duty of the pace who had the man in custody to have brought him before this Court before taking him before the Magistrate at the police court. Yet the constable gives hes message to the Magistrate, and no order is made. The statute of Edward required that the accused should be brought before the Coroner, and he could be committed by him to the common gaol. But this was the practice some hundred years before the law was passed relative to Co roner's Courts. It was comparatively of modern date that Magistrates at Police Courts possessed the powers they did, hut long before that the Lord Lieutenant, the Sheriffs of Countief, and the Coroner exercised the en tire judicial proceeding. I am determined to oppose at the threshold any invasion of his prerogative, and, in maintaining the privileges of my Court, I proceed upon no vindictive motives. In this view, should I receive the consent of the Jury, I will adjourn this inquiry, and of the ' lN v l il e l t i r n op t o b l e ita in n te P r o v l a ie l Commissioners e a ! ) in ls ( l l y to to th t e he Secretary of State. The inque s t was then adjourned till Tuesday, the 29th Septemb:r, and the jury and witnesses were bound over to attend on that day. SUICIDE AT W A TERLOO-BRIDGE.—Last evening an inquest was held at Charing cross Hospital, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of William M'Nabb, a bread and biscuit baker, of "3, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square. Thomas Rowe, a constable of the Thames Police, said, that on the 26th of August last, between 11 and 12 at night, he was on board the Thames police-station boat in the river, near Waterloo-bridge, when he heard a splash in the water, and almost instantly a man called to him that somebody had jumped off the bridge into the water. Witness got out a hoot, and succeeded in getting the deceaz,ed out. The deceased struggled violently to plunge in again, and exclaimed," Oh, aly God, let me i.!ie." Witness procured assistance, and the deceased was rowed to the Dolphin at Hunger ford and th en taken to the hospital. A razor was found in th e li n i ng of his coat. T he d eceased appeared • to have b een drinking. Sarah Sarah M'Nabb tle . wife of the deceased , said he was much addi cte d to drinking, an d was frequently almost mad with intoxication ; but be never threatened to de stroy himself. Mr. John Woo!eot, the hove-surgeo said, that to which sev era l o f upon the deco ti'sasc aom.ssion, h e w as examined, and foulti to hav e received soth sever e bruises ; in addition h n, the spine wer e f ractured. The d eceas ed bad thrown himself into th e water where it was no t deep enough to e drown him, and, b‘. the rills, and the lower p ortion of coming in contact w ith the ground, received th e a b ove i n juri es . He died on Saturda y , - tvgnt last. v e r A: et . i. r empotary insanity.

SUGAR. —There has been only a limited demand from the grocers for British Plantation Sugar since we last wrote, and the refiners have purchased very sparingly ; the sales have amounted to only 950 hogsheads and tierces. Importers however have displayed firmness, and in prices little variation has taken place ; in some cases a reduction of 6d per cwt has been submitted to for brown and low yellow kinds; there have been seve ral arrivals during the past week, still the quantity im ported has not been equal to that of last year during the same time. At present rates some holders are not dis posed to realise in consequence of there being every pros pect that the stock will be extremely small towards the close of the year. The average Gazette price is now upwards of IBs above that of last year. To-day importers of British Plantation displayed firm ness, and excepting at the rates previously established it was impossible to purchase, but the trade evinced little desire to do business, and the demand was limited, both for brown and yellow descriptions ; the purchases amounted to only 250 khds and tierces; the chief part was taken by the grocers. There was no public sale. The Gazette average price is now 58s sed, in 1839 40s 2ed, and in 1838 28s 10d. REFINED.—The demand has again been very limited for Refined Goods, and prices have further given way Is 6d to 2s per cwt. To-day there was little desire evinced on the part of the grocers to purchase Refined Goods, and the ncarst quotation for standard lumps was 102 s, and for or dinary brown lumps 96s per cwt. Treacle dull at former rates.„ Bastards and Pieces were in good request at pre vious prices. Bonded Crushed Sugar was less in demand; but first quality is not to be had under 33s 6d per cwt. Mararms.—Previous rates have been maintained, but the purchases have been limited by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction, the parcels in first hands being nearly all cleared 6 ff. EAST INDlA.—White descriptions of Pengal have been sought after by the grocers, who have offered former rates. Brown and ordinary yellow kinds have been taken sparingly, but prices have been supported. Soft dingy yellow went at 82s 6d to 84s, damp 82s to 83s, washed 81s 6d, Sugar drainage, damaged, 80s 6d to 82e per cwt. Manilla brought former rates. FOREIGN.—BraziI of brown quality has been in excel lent demand, and stiff prices have been paid. Soft Per nams at 21s to 225, white sorts have supported previous rates ; for brown Havannah there has been several in. quiries, and full prices offered. CoFFLE.—British Plantation of clean quality has been taken sparingly by the trade, although holders have sub mitted to a further reduction of Is per cwt ; unclean de. scriptions have been totally neglected, although obtainable on lower terms, and prices are uncertain. SPICES.—This afternoon Pepper was in less request, and 4 810 bags Sumatra at auction were nearly all taken in at 31 d for good light but dusty and stalky; a few piles sold at that figure, being the full value. This afternoon the home trade evinced little desire to do business, and p'ivately few sales were mide either in East or West India, holders Imtss ever displayed more firm ness, and would not self excepting at previous rates. At auction 942 bags East India and 523 bags Cape CcUe acre offered ; the former was all talen iii, good crdmary Batavia at 568 to 56s 63, ordinary P4dang at 44, to 46s ; the latter was also bought in, good and fine ordinary St. Domingo at 45s to 48s per cwt. The maiket still wears a dull appearance for all kinds. Hum, BRANDY, AND 1 - 101.1,ANDS.—West India Rum has maintained former rates, but the Home Trade have pur chased cautiously, and for export there are few orders; the transactions in Jamaica have been confined to only 100 puns, 26 to 31 per cent over p:cof 6s 23 to 6.3 7d. 32 io 36 over 6s 84 to 6s 10d, stronger and favourite marks is to 7s 4d ; of Leewards only 160 puns have been sold, proofs at 3s 51d to 3, fid, 2 to 3 per cent over proof 3s 61(1 to 3s 7d., 4 t.i 8 over 3; 8d to 3s 9d.
