EVENING EDITION. SF lIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) That Irishmen should be temperate in their language, as well as their cups, and disappoint the broad-sheet under Mr. O'Connell, as well as starve the revenue under Father Matthew, is surely asking from mortal ;Den too much at once. Nothing less, however, will satisfy the Times of this morning. In its virtuous horror of violent language, or in revenge of poaching an its own manor, the Times pounces upon some ex• pressions of Mr. O'Brien Dillon, in Tipperary, which cont,:in something about muskets and ba3onets, and Repeal of the Union. We are quite of the opinion of the . Ghost in Hamlet, that speaking daggers is much less indiscreet than using them. Our readers may re member that we rather discountenanced the cries of " treason" by some of our contemporaries ag a i ns t th e 3.3radshaws and Roby s. NS hen people talk sedition On the scene of its actual occurrence, or when there is any direct connection between task and action on such occasions, it may necessary to punish words as d ee d s . Or when a public functionary toasts the triumphs of civil war, it may be due to the public feeling to remove bi n :. But these are nowise parallel cases to this of Mr. O'Brien Dillon, which the Times labours so hard to invest with prodigious importance. We look upon such sallies as of about equal practical moment to Mr. Bradshaw's. d,-.‘claration that he (Bradshaw) would re sist t iit, Queen's Government. It is quite understood -that these are figures of speech at Canterbury and in Tipperary. Besides, even on the Times showing. Mr. Dillon's recurrence to the old arguments of the Irish Volunteers was only proposed hypothetically, and as the hypothesis is not likely to be realised, the more harmless is the menace. (From the Standard.) We are informed that a majority of the gentlemen conneeted with the provincial press have made ar rangements for the purpose of addressing to Parliament a petition for a revision of the unjust and mischievous law of libel. We rejoice that the subject has been taken up by the provincial press, because, for masons which we shall presently explain, the provincial press is entitled generally to more consideration upon such a question than the aggregate press of the 44'etrepolis. However, it is the duty of all of us who are sensible of the danger and degradation to which we are all exposed in the present state of the law, and who feel that it is unmerited in our own several cases, to join heartily in the pursuit of justice opened by our provincial brethren. Of one thing we may be well assured, that if we do not urge our own cause, it will not, whatever they may pronise, be urged by others. Peers and Members of Parliament, judges and lawyers, will not protect us if they can help it ; they all impartially hate us, and ad wish to retain us in that state of sub jection and debasement to which we are condemned by the present state of the law. This is a point upon wilich all ranks of public men, and all parties, are agreed : they feel that the press has some power in spite of them, and they prefer to check the increase of that power, by degrading laws, to giving it a right direction, by placing us in our proper position. The public may not know this, but we who are behind the scenes sco it every day. The very men who almost crawl to us in private would not deign to recognise one of us in public, still less to render a kindness which could he detected ; while a gentleman who even offers an ordinary civility to one of our proscribed order is denounced by his equals as a person who descends to ' toady the press." . . . (From the Courier.) A numerous meeting of the solicitors and attornies of the metropolis, which was held yesterday at the Law Society's-rooms in Chancery-lane, was with reference to an object of peculiar interest, not in respect of legal practitioners only as a class apart, hut of the public at large ; that is, for the expression of an opinion very ge nerally entertained privately in favour of the removal of the Courts of Lew and Equity from Westminster Hall, where at present located, to some central situation in the vicinity of Lincoln's Inn. For those conversant with Courts a 3 now held at Westminster, we mean suitors, jurors, auditors, as well as the legal profession, there needs no description to recall or impress upon their senses the exceedingly inconvenient, ill-arranged small, and therefore crowded state of the offices on business days. Their narrow and huddled accommoda lions, if accommodations they can be called, are really derogatory to the dignity of the administration of justice. Some notion may be formed indeed of the way in which Judges are disposed of into all sorts of holes and corners, when wanted, by one specimen cited by Mr. Vizard in the course of his very effective ooech at the meeting—" It was found necessary," said be, " that the Master of the Rolls should sit in the morning, at Westminster, instead of the evening in Chancery-lane. He was first put into a Committee room in the House of Commons, and afterwards up stirs in a room the ceiling of which any saan ;alight almost reach with his hand, and the approach to .erhicia was a disgrace to a Court of Justice." The in convenience or disagreeableness to the Judge is not, however, the worst feature in the case, for the cause of the suitor may be damaged from the hindrances thrown in the way of free communications with his counsel and solicitors. THI3 SUFFOLK SAVAGES (From the Suffolk Chronicle.) Mr. iteland, the Anti-Corn Law Lecturer, has beers perf4ming his duty in various parts of the Agricultural District, and from that gentleman's personal experience, be can henceforth entertain no doubt whatever that a certain class of its inhabitants needs enlightenment, not only on die particular question he is sent especially to elucisiate, but in some of those respects which mark the ilifference between a civilized and a savage community. At Eye the Tory landlords and parsons had evidently ,primal up their tenantry and understrappers to concert pitch ; but finding that the Lecturer was not to be pu down by clamour, it was announced by a Tory brewer from the window of a public-house opposite, that " there %should be a barrel of beer given to those who would leave the Lecturer." Mr. Acland offered those who would stay, " a barrel of common sonso"—and common sense carried the day, for not a man stirred! At Woodbridge, opposition of a different character was offered, for the Lecturer was collared, violently shaken, - forced upstairs, and hurled over the bannisters, at the risk of breaking bis neck! At Saxmundham, he was even Aso treated, and we are assured that had not the Rural Pe)ice been at hand to rescue him from his perilous situation, his life would have been sacrificed! Aclend publicly invited the intelligent opposition of 'Squire Mosely, of that neighbourhood—(who, it will be reraembered, once did us the honour of publicly coin rair.ing the Suffolk Chrouiale to the flames, merely be Muse we inserted an article deprecating the Corn-laws from the Leeds Mercury)—but instead, he met with :brute force, as opposed to his enlightened and philan thropic views. Indeed, we can compare the whole proceeding to nothing of recent date, except the mur kier of Missionary Williams by the savages of the South Sea Islands. It is deeply disgraceful to the county, and places a stain of degradation upon it which it will take 1 0 7,, g e r to eradicate than the cognomen by which it is , at- present so well known—" Silly Suffolk." Talk of the Chartists ! why, in ad their assemblages in this county, they have been peaceabh2 and orderly—the real physical-force men hereabouts Tory squires and Tory tenants (for such were the most conipicuous in the mob). A greater proof there cannot be that the Corr. -laws will not bear investigation ; and we need warcely ejd, that their repeal will be hastened by the folly of th ose who h ave b een gu il ty of endeavouring to Uphold them by such unmanly and brutal conduct.

ETONIAN F2sTlvAL.—The Noblemen and Gemini:len who have received their education at Eton College, have their anniversary dinner on Saturday the •.:3d inst., at the Thatched-House Tavern, St. James'3-street, when Lord Lyt telton will preside. There is every prospect of a strong muster of Etonian:. MURDER OF LORI) W. RUSSELL. iIIARLBOROUGH-STI?EET POLICE COURT, FOUR O'CLOCK. Up to this hour no person has brcn brought before the Magistrate, charged with being concerned in the mur der of Lord William Russell, although a report was very prevalent during the morning that Cour voisicr would be brought to the office during the course of the day. I t is reported that certain articles of jewellery, supposed to have belonged to the ill-fated Nobleman, have been found in Courvoisicr's posses ion, and that Ellis, the late valet, has been sent for to ascertain if he can identify the property. The watch has not yet been discovered. Norfolk-street was crowded yesterday by persons anxious to see even the exterior of the house in which such an atrocious crime had been committed. Even the heavy rain, which fell at intervals during the day, seemed to produce but little effect in dispersing the crowd. The investigation still continues, and the same secrecy is observed as to everything that has been dis covered as heretofore. The police will know nothing, and the answer to every inquiry is, " I do not know, Sir." Courvoisier, we understand, still remains at the residence of his late master, under the same surveillance as before, and we have heard it stated that there are good reasons why be should not be removed from thence until after the funeral. In this case it is extremely im probable that any public investigation into the circum stances attending this horrible transaction will take place until Wednesday, at the curliest.—(lt will be seen from our Bow-street Report that the examination has taken place to-day.) The procee6ing account has been furnished by our own reporter, and, we believe, it affords all the infor mation that has been obtained since Saturday after noon. Some of the Sunday papers, however, have pub lished long details of rumours, mixed up with pure inven tions, to gratify the morbid appetite of their readers for the wonderful and the horrib.e. We give from the Oliscrver the following specimen of gossip, or something worse : " The result of the post-mortem examination of the body of his late Lordship, which was performed last night by Messrs. Nursey and Elsgood, surgeons, of Cleveland-road and Park-street, who were examined at the inquest, and the subsequent analyzation of the con tents of the stomach, has not bee❑ allowed to transpire. It is, however, uuderstood that it is the decided opinion of the surgeons, that no drug or deleterious ingredients had bee❑ administered to the late unfortunate no bleman. It is stated, what led to the supposition that such might be the case, was, in addition to the apparently deep sleep in which his Lordship must hove been buried at the moment he was de prived of life by his cruel assassin, that on the night of the murder, on the cook (Mary Hounell) tasting of the beer, which the valet, Courvoisier, had fetched for her from the City of Norwich public-house, after her return home from Pimlico, she noticed that it had rather an odd and remarkable taste, and requested that he would drink some of it. Courvoisier, however, made some ex cuse for declining doing so, and she drank it at her sup per. What makes the circumstance remarkable is the fact, that she states that she never before slept so heavy, and that she had great difficulty in arousing herself when Sarah Maned knocked at her door in the morning. " It is a singular circumstance that Young, the butler to Latham, Esq., residing at No. 23, opposite Lord William Russell's house, was not called for and exa mined at the Coroner's inquest. He states, that about seven o'clock on Wednesday morning, hearing a loud ringing at the area bell, he ran to the door, when Sarah Nlancel, the housemaid, who appeared dreadfully alarmed, told him that Lord William Russell was mur dered, and begged of him to fetch a policeman. He accordingly ran into the neighbouring streets, but not being able to find one, returned to Norfolk -street, and seeing the butler to Mr. Jones Lloyd (No. 22), sent him to give information at the station house of the D division in Alarylebone-lane which he did, and brought back with him Inspector Tedman and a sergeant of that division. In the meantime Young went over to his Lordship's resi dence, and on being admitted, found Courvoisier sitting in a chair behind the hall door, and on his asking him to go up stairs with him, as probably his Lordship might not be quite dead, Courvoisier, who seemed greatly alarmed and excited, exclaimed—' Oh, no, I cannot ; no, I cannot ; oh my poor Lord ; he's murdered, he's murdered.' Young then went up stairs with the fe males, and found his Lordship, as has been described by the witnesses at the inquest, with a napkin or towel over his face, and on removing it and feeling the face he found it quite cold. He describes the state of the rooms similarly to the other witnesses, but says that he is aware of circumstances of an important character, which he will divulge only when examined before a Ma gistrate. " The larger cesspool has also been emptied . of its con tents, which have been passed through a sieve, but without any discovery resulting, and it is intended, be fore night, to take up the whole of the pantry flooring. " The property discovered behind the skirting-board in the pantry, has been described to have been two notes, a 101. amid a 51., with two or three rings and other arti cles. The statement as to the notes is not correct. There has been only one note found, namely a new 10/. note, and the other property' consisted of coins which had not been previously missed." (LATEST PARTICULARS. MONDAY MORNINg, Two O'CLOCK. About twelve o'clock a hackney coach was observed to draw up at the corner of Green-street and Norfolk street. The few persons who had remained opposite the house assembled round, and in the course of a few minutes four or five persons left the house of the de ceased nobleman and proceeded in the direction of the place where a hackney coach was standing. Our in formant was present, and among these persons he re cognised the valet, Courvoiser, led by Inspector Pearce ; the two other persons accompanying were pre sumed to be private constables. The whole party entered the coach alluded to, and in a moment it was driven off at a furious speed. Our in formant followed in a cab, and noticed that the coach drew up at Bow-street station-house. Courvoisier was handed out by Inspector Pearce; he appeared coin pletely subdued, and had drawn his hat over his eyes. Inspector Musgrave of the F division, who was on duty, took the charge against Courvoisicr, which was that of having feloniously murdered Lord William Russell. The prisoner, while the charge was being taken, was downcast and sullen, uttered not a word, and was taken to a remote cell, where a constable, with a light, will remain with him until the morning. Oa Monday (this day) he wiil be examined, either at the Home-offica, or Bow -street, but it is thought that the ormer place will be chosen for his examination. S G INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

On Friday evening, the Ist of May, the first gene ral 9,uarterly meeting of the members of this Society (intended as preliminary to the establishment of a Mechanics' Institution) was held at their Rooms, North -street, near the: Stags. The meeting was con vened for the purptso of laying before the members a report of the first quarter's operation:, and of electing a committee and officers for the ensuing quarter. The report, which was read by the Secretary, en tered into a detail of the difficulties attending the esta blishment of the institution—difficulties which happily were in a fair way of disappearing before the zeal and perseverance which characterised the proceedings of its most prominent supporters. A main obstacle arose from pursuing the primary wish of the Society to be, as far as possible, an independent one —one, the manage ment of whose affairs should in conducted on the broadest principle of self-government. Another special desire of the Society was to keep the subscription at the lowest possible amount, so as to admit, in reality, not in name only, the mechanic and artizan, who wore actually excluded from membership at the principal institutions of the metropolis, from the amount of subscriptions required. Thus 2s. had been determined on as the quarterly sum for enjoying the ad vantages of a weekly lecture of acknowledged talent ; a weekly meeting for the discussion of important ques tions connected with the study of the " Ph)sical Sciences" and " Man ;" ❑nd a liberal supply of literary and scientific works, for the use of the members at home. The Committee, while thus distinctly avowing their intention to act independently of sinister influence, and in accordance with the wishes of the body by whom they were elected, were proud to acknowledge the un conlitional assistance, in donations, loans, lectures, and other valuable services of many well-wishers ; and now call on all friends to moral and mental culture to come forward with their assistance, either personal or pe cuniary. The thanks of the Society could not be too warmly expressed for the spontaneous services renlered by the " public press." 'The late Committee were for the most part re elected, and an addition made to their numbers. New msmbers were enrolled, and a syllabus of the next quarter's lectures announced. Arrangements were also announced, as in progress, for the formation of Grammar and Mechanical Draw ing Classes, for th e su p er i n t en d ence o f w hi c h gentlemen of known talent have offered their valuable services. 31. THIERS AND THE PROSPECTS OF FRANCE. (From the Morning Advertiser.) History, whether ancient or modern, offers few emi nent men who transformed themselves so completely as M. Thiers has done. The Thiers of 1840 bears no re semblance at all to the profligate, spiteful, and fiendish foe to liberty, virtue, and honesty who appeared on the political scene from 1880 to 1837. The Thiers of to (ley is a highly -accomplished gentleman, distinguished for the decorum and unassuming gravity of his manners no less than for his uncommon sagacity and superior abilities. Yet the extraordinary change that has taken place in M. Thiers has hardly been remarked, and not at all appreciated ; for, newspapers, instead of applaud ing his debut in the Chamb er o f D eput i es, as P res i dent of the Council of Ministers, have rather ridiculed it as bordering on humility,and being an attempt of conscious weakness to conciliate ail parties. As for me, I saw quite the contrary ; I saw in that pretended humility the dignified forbearance of a subject who had vanquished his King ; who had humbled the descendant of the oldest and noblest family in Europe ; who had placed his plebeian foot on the royal neck of the heir of 67 Sovereigns. M. Thiers aims at greater importance than political writers are at present aware of. M. Thiers is about forty-two years old ; he wears spectacles, and his voice is weak and disagreeably shrill. His frame is rather slender ; and, as he is very short and adorned with an aldermanic paunch, he looks as funny as the little merry Chinese figures who are exhibited at grocer's shops. He was born in Provence, of very poor and obscure parents ; he nevertheless received a good classical education. When lie was at school he was re markable for his quickness and diligence, so that the little ill-looking ragamuffin was always the best of his class. At the age of 24 he went to try his foi tune at Paris ; it was in 1822, At that time the celebrated Manuel had been 'expelled from the Chamber of Depu ties, for having said that France disliked the Bourbons, and had seen their return with repugnancy. M. Thiers applied to that gentleman for his protection. As he was already possessed of great information and dis played an uncommon wit in abusing the Bourbons and kingly power, M. Manuel introduced him to his inti mate friend Lafitte. M. Lafitte did n o t confine his generosity to the mere circumstance of giving good dinners to the young men whom he protected ; his purse was also at their service. Therefore, M. Thiers's fortune began to be in a fair way from that time. In fact, through the powerful influence of Manuel and Lafitte he was admitted as a writer in the Constitution nel. Not long after he became acquainted with a ra ther singular German bookseller, called Schubert. That M. Schubert, whose information was so exten sive, that he knew the title of almost all the books in existence, was so captivated by M. Thicrs's wit and Radicalism, that he made himself his secretary, and collected all the materials for the " History of the French Revolution." That was not all ; as a share in the Constilutionnel was to be sold, the excellent Schubert hurried to Stuttgard to solicit Baron Cotta, the eminent bookseller there, to supply M. Tillers with the necessary funds to hay that share. The beneficent Baron Cotta granted the favour ; and M. Thiers became one of the proprietors of the Constitutionnel. But as that news paper was the best in Europe, since its circulation was no less than 25,000 copies a day, and the editors were anxious not to displease their numerous readers, the virulent attacks of M. 'Thiers against the Bourbons and monarchy, were sometimes rejected. The good M. Schubert thinking that the rejected articles of M. Thiers were a great loss for the world, conceived the bold design of establishing a newspaper for M. Thiers alone ; and for that purpose he again proceeded to Stuttgard, and obtained from Baron Cotta the money requisite for establishing the National, at the head of which M. Thiers was placed. The readers of the Morning Advertiser must be anxious to know what became of the excellent M. Schu hart. Alas ! in 1834, when M. 'Tiers was on the summit of power, and was so reckless of the money of the French nation, the poor German bookseller fell into such appaling distress that he lost his reason, and died in the most cruel agony. EIDON. A. CURIOUS CASE FOR DOCTORS OF THE CIVIL LAW, Nothing can be more obvious than the propriety of an immediate passage by the Legislature of the Bill for the relief of the Frosts. The case is one that admits of no doubt, for whatever may be the guilt of one of the parties, that party has been already sufficiently. punished. Common humanity demands legislative in terposition, and without further delay. To state the story is brief. A Mr. Shawl had be come so far committed in his attentions to Miss Willis, that he found it difficult to withdraw with honour. To cover his retreat, he brought up one Mr. Frost, whom Miss IS tilts inveigled in her toils, with no better in ducemrnt originally thin the indulgence of a vanity and love of admiration quite uncommon in her sex, or, to say the least, seldom carried to such desperate extremities. She accepted his hand in marriage, on the promise of Shawl to appear at the time and place appointed for the ceremony, and, like another Lechic var, carry her off from before the eyes of her affianced. The time came, hut without Mr. Shawl, and in the confusion and alarm of the moment, Miss Willis was married before she knew it. 8. , fiection speedily brought remorse. The infatuated, guilty girl was horror-stricken, and from that time to this has refused to recognize in Mr. Frost the authority of a husband. Under these circumstances, an application is made to the Legislature for the severing of bonds which the law has tied, and which common sense, commoh humanity, and common morality require should forthwith be disunited. The refinement of cruelty, that bound the living to the body of the dead, was benevolence compared with that which tics poor Mr. Frost to a spouse who is, to all intents and purposes, to him at least, deceased. This i 3 one of the cases that we need not reason and refine about, or involve in the mists of legal and moral subticies. It i; a matter st.mding by itself, probably without a precedent on record, and in little danger of being converted into a precedent. It is to be decided. therefore, on its own merits, and every man's instinctive impression, on its first presentation, would probably be the correct one. Who is to derive any advantage from the continuance of this miserable bondage ? Neither of the parties, certainly. Mr. Frost is innocent in the premises, being only the dupe of an artful woman—a fault, we admit, but no hanging matter. It is hard, surely, that he should be compelled to live as an un married husband, because he has been the victim of a heartless and shameless fraud. With regard to Mrs. Frost, she enjoys her single blessedness in spite of the Legislature, and will probably continue to enjoy it, whe ther the Bill for her husband's relief should or should not be passed. We cannot conceive of any benefit that is to accrue to any one by refusing or delaying the prayer of the petitioner. It is much more probable that so ciety will he outraged by individuals living in the rela tions which exist between these parties, than by any repetition of similar experiments by future Misses Wil lis, in the event of Legislative interposition to cure the consequences of her folly and wickedness....-New York Paper, The officers of the 2d Life Guards gave a splen did ball and supper at the C ava l r y B arrac k s , Cl cwer , on Tues day night, which was attended by upwards of six hundred of the Nobility and Gentry of the neighbourhood, including the Officer s of the 2d Rifle Brigala, and of the 14th Light Dra goons from Hounslow, the invitations being confined almost ex clusively to the neighbourhood.

There exist, no doubt, certain prints to whom the " subscriber" is an ideal being, a chimera, such as gold is in the lyric verse of M. Scribe ; hut we do not include those privileged journals in our sketches. They live upon mysterious resources, with which the news paper, such as we understand it, has, thank God ! never had anything to do. Our high and mighty Lord, the " subscriber," is a real Baron of the most splendid feudal times, exercis ing supreme justice, pronouncin g in first and last resort. We have called the press the fourth power of the State. The " subscriber," who has the right of life and death over it. is therefore placed above it. Do you know of a more magnificent station ? Behold the arrival of the first" subscriber" at the office of the newspaper which has just come to life, and whose books are as yet empty, How bright the reception given to him ! Hors handsome he is, how noble is his mien ! How sweet is the voice, how gracious the words of him who comes the first to sympathise with the new champion of publicity. and interest himself in his fate ! How sonorous and distingue is the fist name inscribed upon those blank pages, hitherto melancholy and barren like a field covered with snow! The first " subscriber" is the foundation-stone whereupon all the rest group themselves to form the edifice. The pyramids of Egypt commenced by a first stone. The " subscriber," such as he exists among us, is un known to our old rival beyond the Channel. The English newspaper offices, with rare exceptions, do not take upon themselves to forward their daily sheets to their respec tive addresses at a certain price monthly or annually paid. If you wish to receive a newspaper without taking the daily trouble of going or sending for it you have re course to a class of retailers or brokers, who are very numerous in London, and act as intermediate agents between the public and the newspaper. They have a set of customers for whom they daily buy a propor tionate number of copies of each newspaper, upon which they find their profit. It is they who distribute them at th© various dwellings, and convey them to the post-office. This vender has often several readers to supply with one copy only. Each of them is to enjoy it one or two hours, more or less. The vender, who must, above all, be gifted with indefatigable activity, is obliged to run from one to the other, to stimulate the slow reader who is still bewildered in the immense columns of the Times or illorning Post, in order to satisfy the im patience of the habitue who comes next, and claims his turn. God knows what reception the unfortunate news man meets with when he interrupts the unfinished read ing of some interesting report of a public meeting or of some memorable horse race ! Not less is his woe when, perspiring and panting, he reaches the unaccommodating humourist who has waited an hour for him and his journal. The painters of Britannic manners have oft dwelt upon the miseries of the newspaper retailers. To return to the " subscriber," such as he is known to us, we must first introduce you to the Parisian " sub scriber," for two grand divisions are to be noted—the " subscriber" of Paris and the " subscriber" of the pro vinces. Among the varied shapes in which the " sub scriber" presents himself, we must select one, to render him visible and palpable to you. Be pleased to enter that mansion of the Faubourg St. Germain, or that elegant dwelling of the Chausse d'Antin. Ascend to the first floor. The " subscriber" who has just risen, enjoys the soft elasticity of one of those arm chairs, a la Voltaire, which, if invented by or for the author of Candide, entitle him, far more than his philosophy, to the gratitude of posterity. Enveloped in the wadded folds of his robe de chantbre, the " subscriber" removes, with some satisfaction, the bands of paper encircling the journal fresh from the press. Those bands which bear his name and address printed at full length establish a sort of direct and personal link between him and the print which he honours with his confidence. The Paris " subscriber" has the advantage of not dreading the bad roads which delay the mail's arrival. The carrier proceeds always at the same pace in spite of ail weather. Even seizure, the ferocious seizure, is unable to deprive the Parisian " subscriber" of his morning treat. The police Commissary, despite of his natural diligence, and of the stimulants of the Government law-officers, has not yet found means of getting the start of the distribution in Paris ; but he may expect anything from the realization of the pro mise of glorious July. Nevertheless, fancy not that the " subscriber" of the capital is sheltered from tribulations, in the exercise of the right of subscription which belongs to all French men, without distinction of sex or age, and which is worth, at the least, the right of mounting guard. These tribulations derive their source from the lodge of the Suisse Concierge, or porter, call as you please that do mestic despot, gaoler, and almost always scourge of Parisian life. The Concierge is in general passionately fond of newspapers ; it is one of his privileges to read them before any body else ; but as, the oftener, the Concierge does not read quick, it follows that the news paper makes a much longer stay in the lodge than suits the "subscriber." Fortunate it is when the newspaper, which has been tortured back into its bands, does not exhibit in its pages, stained like the livery' of a Carbo naro converted into a Court sycophant, evidence of that unstipulated subscription. Next are to be recorded the mistakes whereby, among eight or ten newspapers promiscuou ly dropped at the lodge, the " subscriber" to the Debate is treated to a Quotidienne or National, and the Tuileries cour tier, who rises panting for the august speeches of a great personage or the affecting details of a Royal jour ney, is sickened with a Number of the Charivari or Mode. Chance, or its minister the Concierge, often plays pranks of this sort much better than behoves them, and certain blunders of this kind have quite the look of epigrams. But it is in the provinces, in the country, in the depth of winter, that the " subscriber" must be observed, in order to form a complete notion of the inestimable value of a newspaper to the existenc e o f man. T he Paris " subscriber" has within his reach a multitude of news papers besides his own in the Cabinets de Lechere and the public gardens. The world and the theatre— saloons, supply him always with abundant newsmongcrs, and political and literary articles. But his newspaper alone connects the country " subscriber" with the world, literature, and politics. The newspaper's arrival is a quotidian event which divides the day as a meal or any other habit does. It is the newspaper that supplies the dinner conversation and animates evening when the rain beats upon the windows, when the walk and rural occupations are impossible, when the intrepid country neighbours—they who will walk six miles for a rubber of whist—venture not out of doors, the newspaper is a visitor, a living being, the only one that can be expected. W hat anxiety, what ennui, what disappointment the "sub scriber" feels when the newspaper is not forthcoming ! Is it the Post-office who is to be accused, or the unfortu nate rural postman too much addicted to the village cabaret ? The "subscriber" looks at the number of the (lay before, and consults his almanuck. There is no grand Me, no solemn notification that " our office being closed to-morrow, the newspaper will not appear the day after to morrow." Have momentous events convulsed Paris and France ? In our times of universal suffrage and mistakeable stability, anything may be apprehended. 'fire " subscriber" is in a fever. He exhausts his wits in conjectures, sends twenty times to the village. In vain T. He must wait till to-morrow to learn the prices of stocks, the conclusion of a telegraph despatch interrupted by an untoward fog, or the issue of a memorable trial. The day will be an empty one, and the evening so tedious that the " subscriber" in despair will betake himself to his bed. Next day the " subscriber" will learn that Paris and France are not convulsed, at least not this time. The newspaper has, however, not fared so well ; it has been seized for having said, for instance, that bread is dear, and that bullets suited to a musket barrel are not food better suited to the human mouth than earth mingled with pebbles, as so philanthropically recommended by the official Moniteur Parisien. Two months afterwards, perhaps, the newspaper will be proclaimed not guilty ; the " subscriber" will recover his copy two months old ; but he will have no compensation for ins alarm ; ennui and fever, and the newspaper will not, be indemnified for , his unch ar i ta bl e w i s h es to i t, w h e n in the first moment of his disappointment he may have imputed forgetfulness or negligence t o th e un h appy v i c tim of the touchiness of a magistr a t e . The" su b scr ib er, " espec i a ll y h e o f tire provinces, insulated as we just represented him, reads his newspaper with extreme seriousness from the first to the last line. In general, before he enters upon the grand political arti cles or feud/clan, he goes right to the Paris facts, which are soon read and easily digested. The telegraphic despatches have alone the precedence over tire Paris facts. The "subscriber" first lays on his stomach three in undations, four robberies, a murder, two fires, and seve ral accidents and phenomena. Certain newspapers, aware of th e d ec id e d penc h an t o f their " subscriber" for this sort of facts, will take strange liberties. They know , likewi se , t h at the pu b lic is gifted w i t h a c redulous good nature, whi c h i n politics go so far as to belie v e in the v i rtues of citizen kings, universal prosperi t y , and the auster i ty of the modern successors o f B ru tu s .

The whole press has not, however, the good luck of trusting to this degree in the good-nature of its " sub scribers." We arc acquainted with newspapers whose readers require more substantial food. Those journals, on the other hand, di not traffic in opinions and words wherein all is absorbed by, or disappears under an abject speculation. The real " subscriber" is to his news• paper, when that newspaper is itself, what it should he, a connection whom neither years nor revolu tions estrange. The " subscriber" is accustomed to find joy in his newspaper in prosperous days, and common hopes or mourning in evil times. The newspaper, on the other hand, is sure, in all circum stances, to see his well-known name re-appear at the first appeal. Neither the " subscriber" nor the news paper has ever changed since the) have crossed events together. They have ever been faithful to one another, because they have ever been faithful to the convictions of their whole lives. To a newspaper, such as we hers understand it, the "subscriber" is not a marketable article; he is an adviser, a brother in faith, and a friend--By 31. T. filuret. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. EXTREME HARDSHIP ON TRAVELLERS AND TA VERN-KEEPERS.—Mr. Brewin, the proprietor of the Golden ,Lion Tavern and posting-house, in 'St. John street, Clerkenivell, was summoned to this office before Mr. Greenwood on Saturday under the following dir cumstances The proceeding occasioned much conversation, a nd the office was densely crowded by gentlemen interested in the matter at issue. Inspector Penny, of the G division, said, that at a quarter before one on Sunday morning he was passing the defendant's house, and hearing the ostler in the stable-yard, he called out " Jem, open the door," which was instantly attended to, and witness, with one of his sergeants, then proceeded to the smoking, or travel lers'-room, where they found four gentlemen sitting en joying themselves over a pipe and glass, for which of fence against the law witness had been desired by the Commissioners to institute the present proceeding. Mr. GREENWOOD.—HOW came you to go to the house? Was there any disorder that attracted your attention ? Inspector.—Not the least. There cannot be a more respectably conducted house. Information was sent to us that Mr. Brewin did not comply with the Act so strictly as his neighbours, and I was consequently bound to pay the visit. Mr. GREENWOOD.—Were either of the gentlemen of whom you speak intoxicated ? Inspector.—Not in the slightest degree. Mr. GREENWOOD (to Mr. Brewin).—What is your answer to this complaint, sir ? Defendant.—The gentlemen spoken of by the in spector had arrived but a very few hours in town, and they needed the refreshment they were having. Mr. GREENWOOD.—But the law says that you shall not serve any person or persons whomsoever with ale, porter, wine, or spirits, between thq, hours of twelve on Saturday night and one on Sunday. Defendant—But you will please to bear in mind that my house is a tavern resorted to, and principally sup ported by, travellers. Mr. GREENWOOD—The Legislature has made no distinction between an hotel and a common public house, which I consider to be your own faults. Defendant—Why so, Sir ? Mr. GREENWOOD —You are numerous and powerful, and if you had pointed out to the Government, when the Bill was before Parliament, the evils and incon veniences likely to result by such a measure appertain ing to travellers, you would, I am satisfied, have been attended to. Defendant—What are we to do, then, with gentle men arriving on Saturday nights, or Sunday mornings, from the country—must we send them to bed ?: Mr. GREENWOOD-I can give you no advice. lam here to explain and enforce the law. Defendant—l served no liquor after the hour of twelve. Mr. GREENWOOD-But you suffered it to be con sumed on your premises, which the law forbids. How ever, I do not look upon this but as an offence of a venial kind. You have erred in ignorance, and with a desire to make comfortable the guests in your house : but, notwithstanding this, I must pronounce that you have offended against your license, and must be fined 10s. Defendant—Then I shall appeal against your decision. Mr. GREENWOOD--I wish you would. The Chief Clerk—He cannot appeal,Sir, without you impose a penalty of 60s. Mr. GREENWOOD—I will not inflict that, then, for the offence is not adequate to such a high sum ; in fact I look upon this as a very slight case, and one that I would not order a fine for unless the law was imperative on me. The defendant said be Was obliged to the Magistrate for the attention he had given the case, and, under all the circumstances, he would pay the I Os. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

'Whether they were placed in the hands of the party with an express view to the purpose here assigned them, we know not. It is to be hoped, however, that their publication at the present period will not be considered, as in a recent instance, a breach of pro priety or good faith, though we believe that some witnesses of the singular facts connected with the birth of the Child of Mystery are still living. It is certain that many of the cha racters who figure in the story—particularly the fashionable Physician—will not fail to be recognised by those who were fa miliar with the world of ton at the beginning of the present century. SUICIDE ON THE RIVER.—At the end of last month a paragraph appeared in The Sun, relative to the find ing of the body of a gentleman near the church at Rotherhithe, and at the same time was given a description of his person and apparel, the name " Aked " being marked on some of it. The deceased, it appears, had been a tutor, but had been left a considerable property, which led him into habits of dissipation, and he was often heard to declare that when it was all gone he would commit suicide. ELLESMERE.--An appalling case of self-de struction occurred last week in the vicinity of this town. Mr. Lee, of Ifton Heath, recently married, was walking homewards from Dudleston Chapel to his own residence, in company with his wife, when he suddenly leaped from the road into a deep pit of water by its side, in which he immediately sank ! She ran to the brink, and rent the air with her cries for help, but in vain. The poor man rose once or twice to the surface in the agonies of death, and finally sank to the bottom a corpse. As sistance was procured, and the body raised; but life was utterly extinct. DIVINITY IN SPORT.—A certain divine, of sporting celebrity, who resides not a hundred miles from South Pool, in the county of Devon, having spent the day at a farm, where he was entertained with all the genuine hospitality for which its owner stands so high in the estimation of his friends, was followed on his return home in the evening by the favou rite old sheep dog of his host, led by instinct to conceive the friend of his toaster must be his also. Entering with confi dence the domicile of the " man of God," he fully expected to have been rewarded for his friendly convoy by a plate of meat, or at least a bone. Bnt,'alas ! poor " Sheppy ;" he was seized by this pious priest, assisted by another " saint" (who resides under the same roof). who, after cutting off the hair, a n d scraping his tail, applied to the raw parts turpentine and tar, and then turned him out to seek his master, howling with agony. This instance of clerical gratitude is the talk of the whole neighbourhood.— Western Z inies. RE-CAPTURE of RICHARD GOULD AT GRAVESEND, ON BOARD A SHIP ABOUT TO SAIL FOR NEW SOUTH WALES. On Saturday, about half-past duce o'clock in the afternoon, Richard Gould, who was cried and acquitted at the last Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of being concerned in the murder of Mr, John Templeman, of Pocock's Fields, Islington, was brought before Mr. Hall, at Bow-street, on a warrant which had been granted to Sergeant Otway, A division, on the previous day, for his apprehension, charged on suspicion with being concerned, with others not in cus tody, with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of the deceased on the 17th of March last, and stealing therefrom a quantity of gold, silver, and other monies, his property. The prisoner was respectably dressed, and appeared to have lived well since his acquittal, although, on being brought to the bar, he seemed to have lost the confi dence and self-possession which he evinced during the trial at the Old Bailey. Sergeant Otway being sworn, stated that having pro curCd a warrant at this Court on Friday, the Bth inst., from Mr. Jardine, he proceeded to Gravesend, where he went on board the Mary Catherine, a trading vessel bound for Sydney, and having examined it on the fol lowing morning, at half-past four o'clock, he took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed him before the sit ting Magistrate of this Court. Inspector Miller, N division, stated that on the morning of the 17th of March last, a burglary and rob bery was committed at the house of the late Mr. Tem pleinan, situated in Pocock's-fields, Islington. It would appear that the burglars had effected an entry through a small window in the front of the house, in which a small bit of glass bad been cracked or broken, and then by simply undoing with the hand a small button which was immediately inside the sash. Mr. HALL inquired if any and what description of property was missed at the time the robbery was disco vered. Witness was not able to speak to that fact, but there was every reason to suppose that sums of money had been taken away. • Mr. HALL asked who the officer was that examined the premises at the time the first discovery was made. Witness said that Sergeant Collins was the officer, but he happened not to be in attendance, and if his tes timony was required he could be sent for. Mr. HALL—Perhaps you can give me some account of the property which was found. Witness—The same night about a quarter-past eleven o'clock I went to a cottage about 250 yards distant from that of the deceased, which was occupied by a person named Allen, where I found the prisoner in bed with two children, and I took him into custody. In his trousers pocket upon searching him, I found 95., and in his waist coat pocket seven Lucifer matches, together with two pawnbroker's duplicates. After he was conveyed to the station it was discovered that he wore a new pair of boots. Sergeant King, the officer who had assisted in search ing the cottage , was not in attendance, but it appeared that ho found a quantity of money in the roof of the cottage. Mr. HALL said that it would be very desirable if the constables who had made the search could be sent for, in order that they might be examined. Sergeant Otway was immediately ordered to take a cabriolet and proceed to Islington for both the officers, and on his return with them, about half-past four o'clock, Sergeant John Collins, 24 N division, being sworn, deposed, that he knew where the late Mr. Templeman lived, which was a short distance from the cottage occupied by Allen. Witness searched the house of the deceased, on the morning that the murder was committed. He received information of the occurrence before eleven o'clock, and on entering the premises found two surgeons examining the body. On making a search, he discovered that an entrance had been made through a window into the sitting room. Mr. HALL—Can you give any account of the pro perty that was found ? Witness—l cannot speak of my own knowledge any thing respecting it. Sergeant Thos. King, 22 N, proved that on the morning of the 18th of March he went to Wilson's cottage, in Pocock's-fields, which was occupied by a person named Allen, and where the prisoner was then lodging. From information he had previously received he proceeded to search the privy, and subsequently the back kitchen, where, between the ceiling and the tiles, he found placed behind one of the rafters a white cotton stocking, containing nineteen halfcrowns,4B shillings, and seven sixpenny pieces. The stocking was identified by Mrs. Allen at the time as having belonged to the pri soner. Mr. HALL—Did you mention the circumstance to the prisoner at the time ? Witness—lt was both mentioned to him then and at the trial. Mr. HALL—Had you any knowledge that the pri soner resided in that cottage ? Witness—l received information that he did. Inspector Miller—l took him into custody in bed at the cottage. Sergeant King said that he took the stocking to the Station-house, and delivered it the Inspector after the trial. Mr. HALL—lid the woman give any evidence Witness—Yes, she believed the stocking to be the prisoner's, and she said something about footing them for him, and of two odd stockings, besides that which contained the money. Mr. HALL—Then Allen resides close by where the robbery was committed ? Inspector Miller—A very short way. Mr. HALL—Are you prepared to say that you will be able to bring home the case to the prisoner ? Inspector Miller—l am quite convinced of it. Mr. HALL—You have already been engaged in the inquiry ?, Inspector—Yes, I have, and I am on that account certain of being able to establish the case against him. Mr. HA LL.—What time do you require to get all the evidence respecting the additional facts you are in pos session of? Inspector—l could not be ready before Wedneiday next, as there will be a great number of witnesses le examined. Mr. HALL (to the prisoner)—ls there any cbserva. tion you wish to make? Prisoner—Yes, I wish to say Mr. HALL—The application of the officer is to re mand you to a future day ; and if you have any °bur vation to make, I am ready to hear you. Prisoner (hesitating)—l wish to know if there is anything fresh against me, as all these witnesses have been examined on another occasion, and will be of no use raw ; besides I will lose my passage-money, although their evidence has been given before. Mr. HALL—You must bear in mind that the present charge is quite distinct from that for which you have been already tried. The present question relates to property, and there are additional facts to be proved. Prisoner—Let the time be as short as posible, for in case they do not succeed against me, I may be abl to get my passage. Mr HALL—When is the ship expected to sail? Prisoner—As soon as possible, should a wind offsr, Sergeant Otway said that the vessel would sail in a day, if she had not already sailed, for she had cleared the Customs yesterday afternoon. Mr. HALL—Then we will name Wednesday, and Mr. Miller will get all the additional evidence in his power in the meantime. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and previous to his being conveyed to the House of C( r rection, his boots were taken from him, and he was p;o -vided with a pair of shoes. We were given to understand by Sergeant Otway that on his going aboard the vessel to make inquiries abort a person answering to the description given of the prisoner, be was told there was a young man had been aboard who brought a latter with him, and there being no berth prepared for him at the time, a carpenter was sent for ashore to make one. After a short time he saw the prisoner, and after asking him how he did, he told him that the Secretary of State had offered a reward of 200/. for the apprehension of the murderer of the late Mr. Templeman, at the same time showing him a copy of the Noble Lord's letter, which he read, and immediately he said, " No, I can't ; I have made up my mind ; 11l not say anything. I have already told ono, person the whole sff.dr." After some time ha asked to see the letter again, and on reading it, he said, " have nothing to do with it, but I'll tell what I'll do : if they give me 1001., and pay my ins sage-money, give diem the names of the parties concerned." W4ness then asked him it he would give the name of the person who had committed the murder, and he said he would. Witness then told him that most likely he would meet him again in the Downs. This conversa tion happened at two o'clock, and wit se returned to town, for the purpose of obtaining a war. rant ; but on his return to Gravesend he again visited the vessel, and found that the prisoner had gone ashore. Witness next went to seek for him in the town, but could not succeed ; and on returning to the vessel on Friday night, he found him in his berth insensibly drunk. At half-past four o'clock on Saturday morning he roused the prisoner, and on telling him that he should accompany him to London, the prisoner de manded by what order. He then showed him the war rant, and the prisoner asked if lie was to go as a pri soner ; and on being told (lint he was a prisoner, he said, " Then I shall stick to that. If they choose to detain me for nothing, let it come to anything. If they play any trick with mc, I won't ray a b-- word ; for I a'nt particular sweet about going out." Witness, at six o'clock on Saturday morning, took him on board the Sons of the Thames, and conveyed him to t o wn. The following is a co py of the letter which the prisoner brought on board :- 1840. " 1, Leadenhall-street, 7th Dlay, EV EN ING EDITION. " To Mr. Barker or the officer in command of the ship Mary Catherine, for Sydney :--- " Sir,—Please receive on board, as a steerage pas senger, Mr. Kelly, the passage-money having been paid. " To Captain Galloway. " We are your obedient servants, (Signed) " HILL and WERKERBERTH." When first the letter of the Secretary of State was handed to the prisoner, he said he expected a reward would have been offered. FURTHEIL PARTICULARS. The following additional particulars connected with this dreadful affair were collected by our informant yes terday :—When Sergeant Otway had procured a palrr of boots from Gould's box, which remains at the A di vision station-house, Gardener's-lane, he proceeded with them to Coldbath-fields. Gould expressed his satisfac tion upon receiving them, and, in the course of a minute or two, desired that he might have a private conference with the p o li ce sergeant . Thi s w i sh was granted him ; and after an interview of nearly half an hour, Sergeant Otway left the prison for Scotland-yard. He here made his report, and a despatch was instantly sent off to Inspector Miller (who by that time had taken the woman Jarvis from a house in the neighbourhood of St. Giles, to the N division station-house,) directing him to lose no time in apprehending Jarvis himself. The In spector succeeded in accomplishing that object in a short time, and at the present moment Loth Jarvis and his wife are close prisoners in the same station•housc. Yesterday morn i ng S ergeant O tway aga i n v i s ited Gould at the prison. He remained with him the whole morning ; and, when be left, he brought away with him a fall confession, taken from Gould's lips, and, we be lieve, signed by him. What is contained in this con fession it is almost needless to tell our readers is, for the sake of the ends of justice not being frustrated, kept a profound secret. We, however, have with difficult y , learnt for a fact, that in it Gould has admitted his agency in the murder of Mr. Templeman, and accused both Jarvis an his wife of being more deeply involved in it than he is.
