~~ EVENING EDITION. MR. DARWIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sist,—As several reports have been inserted in your paper respecting the case (at the Mansion-house) of John Darwin, the unfortunate author, I respectfully beg the favour of your inserting this letter, if you can conveni ently find a place fcr it. Since those reports appeared, various individuals, some of them doubtless influenced by those reports, have forwarded contributions for my relief ; and as the majority of them have done so ano nymously, there is no medium through which I can ex press to them my gratitude, except that through which the case beearae known. It is extremely hurtful to my feelings that I should have been brought into such publicity as this ; but it would be false delicacy in me now to shrink from it, or to say that the assistance which has been rendered to me is not most welcome. To all my friends I return my heartfelt thanks ; God alone knows how fervent those thanks are. I can say with truth, their assist ance has not been misused ; nor shall it be. To Alder man Gibbs and Mr. Hobler my gratitude is peculiarly due ; and I hope it will not be thought extravagant of me when I say that, in the state of mind in which I was when first introduced to them, their conduct towards me did indeed appear a personification of justice abiding with mercy. It is to certain that many others in the literary profession have at various times undergone great misery, and there is no doubt that many have yet to undergo the same ; but, I sincerely hope, that no brother labourer will ever experience such fearful sen sations as I did during the five hours which preceded my desperate aet. Again, gratefully acknowledging the assistance I have received,—l am, Sir, your very respectful servant, JOHN DARWIN. 7, Cross-lane, Newton -street, Holborn, Oct. 1, 1840 I.IIOINE f MARKET and CITY NEW S• (FRIDAY EVENING.) HERALD.—By the last accounts from the Mau ritius, the want of labour appears to be severely felt, anti great apnrekertsions are entertained that, if means be net taken to supply the deficiency occasioned by the apathy of the negroes, the result will be very bad. A. exeelleut letter uses strong arguments in favour of im migration of labourers from the motivr country, as being not only beneficial to the planter and to them selves, by the high rate of wages they would obtain, but from the high moral effect their example would have upon the recently-emancipated cultivators of the sail ; and there is but little doubt that the sight of the prosperity of persons of this class would do nytee'ttowards enlightening the minds of the negroes than 'Tiny ether argument tbut could be addressed to The hurricanes, which occurred some time sawc, totally blasted the prospects of the owners of many of the sugar lands, and in those which escaped, the want of means to cultivate them operates as ruin ously upon them as the visitation of Providence on the others. The necessities of the people of the coun try must a!so ba .looked to. The quantity on hand of one of the principal necessaries of life, as well in the h ghest as in the lowest class, has, within one year, not only decreased to the enormous extent of 9,000 tons, but in value has risen (within a frac tion) one hundred per cent. ; the Gazelle average price of Sugar in the last publication of September 1838, being 296. 2d. ; in 1839, 40s. 21d. ; and in 1840, Ms. 2,1 ;. and letters from the West Indies, by the last alai!, state that the prospects for the next crop arc worse than they have been at any time previously, so that no reduction can be looked for. Some Legisla tive enectraents arc absolutely necessary, by which the wants of the rople, with respect to this particular ar tick of consumption, may be relieved. The difference of Is. per cwt. in 1839 (add at a time when the sup :,ties principally arrive), ought to have called the at tention of Government to the circumstances, and how much more when from 11s. the price rises 293. per cwt. And it must be borne in mind, that our own colonies ( New South Wales for instance) labour under great dtsativaxtage in the shape of protecting duties, if they ace any other than the same dezcription of sugar ad ,:ii-sable for home consumption here. British lndi thin las! Act rgulating the sugar duties, is compelled (..nd prorrly so) to conzume the native produce is. pre.crence to any other, by an absolute prohibition of the imp tr:ation of fsreign growths, so that there is so iia, n the less to come to this country, unless at a vet- ) aaanced p: ice. tS,in. POST.—Monetary affairs have been again depressed durt“ the prevnt day, the consequenec of the loss pa teadency of the accounts from France. Tiic re sin: Of the Cabinet meetitig held in London on Mon- ,sy-iast has [wen published in the Parisian newspapers, el the account apvarin:z in the Capitole is believed in City to be substantially correct. The detvrniina• ;ion to carry out the treaty of July, and fire circuit stance that no real proposition appears to have been made by the French Government to the English Ca- Insve created a return to the former doubts, diffi culti,:s, and alarms of the erpitalists ; and consequently every dcpar!snent of the Money Mark,t has become again very gloomy in the course of the present -et _ setnoon. A circuiar from Messrs. Barclay, the brewers, an nou.,ecs an advance of seven shillings per barrel in the pale A;4) for exportation, caused by the advance in the price of hops, which enters considerably into the value of that description of ale. It is not thought that the price of London porter will be increased by the :faihire of the crops of hops, particularly as the crops of barley are abundant all over the three kingdoms, end the yield and quality are expected to be consider ably above the average of years. The election for a Lord Mayor has not produced the same excitement this idtcrnoon, no doubt now re maining as to the result. Though the defeated candi (Liu., it is proper to be' remarked that Mr. Alderman .klarmer is thought to have acquitted himself well upon the hustings, and that this gentleman is far from being deficient is very respectable and very energetic per sonal friends. TIMES.—The apprehension of an approaching scarcity of money is becoming general among the lead ing discount brokers in the City, and there was a rumour very current to-day that bills to a large amount had been rejected at the Bank, without reference to the quality of the paper, through the desire of restrain ing the issues as much as possible. Another rumour, probably more correct than the first, was, that a few .of the principal money dealers had been invited to a conference with the Directors, and had been desired to abstain as much as possible from pressing for the temporary advances which, under the late notice, expire on the 15th inst. In either of these cases there would be some foundation for the apprehension referred to, and in fact it prevails so generally, that, judgier, from former impressions of the kind, it is very unlikely that it should be wholly without founcintion. Tee Money Market has been in an uneasy state throughout the day. The appearance of hostile pre parations leads to the apprehension that more ino.ney will be wanted by the Government. The sales for the account by one or two of the principal brokers have been large, and far exceeded the money purchases, made by the public. The fear that the Bank will diminish its accommodation, as referred to above, also has its effect, in casting a gloom over the market. Money is in demand, as is generally the case when the time draws near for the payment of the dividends, the easiness of the last day or two being merely the temporary effect of the large purchases made the day before yesterday. Combined with all these causes is the intelligence of the French Funds being lower. SUN.—The Hebrews appearing as sellers in the English Stock Market, everything was lower this after noon. Consols closed at 87i to 87i for money, and at 87i to 87i for Account, being a fall of 1 percent. since yesterday. Exchequer Bids brought ss. to Ss. prem. ; and India Bonds, 6a. to 3s. dis. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents. realtsed 97i to 96f. The sellers in the Foreign house also appeared in greater numbers, but still a moderate business only was tr:losactod. Spanish Active Bonds declined. from 23 to 22i to 224 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. from 33+ to 324 ; and the Three per Cents. fro,: 22} to 21 ; and the Russian, from 111 to 1101. French Five per Cents. were heavy at 105 e. 30f., and the Three per Cents. at 72f. 30e. Colombian Six per Cents. dropped to 221 ; Mexican were dull at 25 ; Brazilian, 75, ex dividend, being 1 , per cent. lower ; I?ernvien at 14 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at .50i to 30i ; the Five per Cents. declined to 97 and 961 ex dividend. In Shares there was scarcely any animation, and the quotations begin to grow feeble again, Liverpool as t h ey are by the state of t h e markets at and Man chester, and the fall i n t h e funds. The nearest quota tions were—For the Great Western 17 to 18, the New 6 to 61 ; and the New North Midland 4 premium ; the Brighton were 11, the Blackwell 21 to 2i, the Green wich New 5,1-, the South Easter n 1 7, the Birminghants and Gloucester 14, and the Eastern Countie s loi dis count. Colonial Bank Shares were at 12i premium. The Foreign Exchanges were heavy again to-day, and there was a demand for bills on Hamburgh and Paris. The rah were :—Paris, 23f. 35c. to 40e., 12 14. to Hamburgh 12 6i, 1 to 71. and Amsterdam 4 , Frankfort 148 a. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MOESI-v- PAYERS OF THIS DAY. a . The ecclesiastical cairns of (From the , Monu.n9hCherioenrii clerical ultras is lultras as ad vanecd by the reviewer of M t r. e Carlyle's Quarterlq, are founded in a total ( 1 n cr . , 1 d as a na woforkthien d the t ! n etlve character of the Church tionat institution.

Christian Scripture ; but in the case of the Church of England such pretensions are inconsistent with the very fact that it is the Church of England, erected by England, endowed and supported by England, liable to be controlled and re formed by England, existing for the benefit of England, and having (as a national institution) no being, place, or power but what it derives from England. The clerical ultras of the Quarterly have devised a new Popery ; which by one fiction they link with a past that never existed, and by another fiction thrust into the place of the National Church which it has no right to occupy. Such a Church as that described in the Quarterly inherits its alleged spiritual functions from the Church of Rome ; or it becomes a proved impostor. And such a Church can have no title whatever to immunities and endowments which are enjoyed by the Church of England solely in vir tue of its nationality. Therewould, however,be little harm in the concoction of so strange a theory, by a few(misnamed Protestant) monks in a college. Wby should not the theology of a Pusey, as well as the mythology of a Bryant, have its day ? " The earth bath bubbles," and they may afford consolation to the earth-worms that burrow in a learned soil. But such speculators as Bryant do not persecute. They interfere not with good neighbourhood. They assume not to condemn wise men for wicked hearts. They throw up no barriers against the instruction of the people. They assail not the political securities of good government. They aim not at bringing back Egyptian darkness upon the land. They minister not to the worst and most vio lent passions and bigotries. They teach not the mo rality of hatred, the worship of persecution, or the divinity of malevolence. Hence they are compara tively innoxious. The Churchman of the Quarterly does all this. He and his tribe are a nuisance that must be abated. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The love of independence and (airplay is not extinct in the City of London. The Livery, free men in spirit and in action, will not, even at the eleventh hour, fail in what is due from their intelligence, and the character which they have established throughout the empire by a series of services rendered in difficult and dangerous times to the cause of freedom. They will not now da mage the laurels won by themselves and their fathers in the good old cause. What are the questions at issue ? Freedom of discussion—the right of every individual to , invest his capital according to his own notions of advan tage, and the injustice of instituting an inquisitorial sur veillance over the mercantile speculations of a candi didate for civic office. The Dispatch newspaper con tains certain articles objectionable and offensive to the opinions of many. These articles were con demned by Alderman Harmer yesterday on the hustings —he does net identify himself with the sentiments contained in them why, then, should he be responsible for them ? Because it an swers the party purpose of a faction to excite the religious feelings of well-disposed and timid persons for their own party and intolerant purposes. All inroads upon public liberty and private rights have commenced with a show of reason, and in cases which afforded cause of complaint ; but the precedent having been established, that the right of discussion could be inter fered with, or the liberty of the subject invaded with impunity, less questionable cases of transgression ar selected for the purpose of unjust oppreseion. Le Alderman Harmer be rejeeted for the otijectionabs articles in the Dispatch, and how is the line of dc Intimation to be hereafter drawn ? Will not the To ries say and insist that the religious opinions *of Dis senters disqualify them for civic offices? What chance would an Unitarian have of passing through the ordeal of this new Inquisition? Who will undertake to set bounds to the demon of intolerance, when once let loose upon the community. We call upon the Livery to itraittle the monster at once, and with the courage of intelligent men to do justice to a meritorious public officer. Alderman Harmer disclaims the discussion of religious subjects in a political journal, and repu diates what is objectionable in the articles quoted against No religious man can, therefore, entertain any ,cruple to give him his support. It is a mere fiction of aw to make the proprietor of a newspaper, under such circumstances, responsible, for articles which probably he never saw or read. Away, then, with these inge iiious devices , away with these false pretences ; away with all this deceit. The attack is made against liberal opinions, and the rights of conscience, under the guise of a regard for Christian principles. Liverymen, be not the dupes of men who will laugh you to scorn, when they have succeeded in using you as tools to work out their own ends. You will repent your inactivity when it is too late. Strike the blow while it is in your power, end have courage to be just to a faithful servant. He who has served the office of Sheriff, of MagiArate, of A!derman, with credit, is competent to discharge the duty of L'ird Mayor. In supporting such a person you run no risk—he is a tried man. (From the Morning Herald.) The origin of the fire in the naval arsenal at Ply mouth, which has caused the nation such a heavy loss, is still unexplained. We asked, in the first instance, whether a shabby ecconomy had anything to do with it ? We suspected that whether the fire originated in what is called accident, or was the work of an incendiary, it could not have gained the head it did before it was dis covered, if a vile parsimony had not been busy in that sort of retrenchment which cuts away the very pro tection of property to effect some paltry saving. And so we find it is. The following testimony has been borne to the rigid system of saving on which Govern ment has acted, and the " benefits' of which the coun try will have to pay so dearly for. " A strict inquiry into the origin of the disaster will, no doubt, be institu ted ; but the miserable parsimony dour Liberal Govern— ment, is, of course, the chief cause. Every ship in dock used formerly to have a watchman on board at night to guard against accidents by fire. This coat Is. 6d. per night for each ship. To effect a saving of this paltry sum the watchmen were withdrawn, and the ships left to take care of themselves. The result is the national calamity we have just sustained." A result which any rational person would have expected from such a sys- Now what is the amount of the cost to the na :ion of this splendid eighteenpenny economy ? The full amount is not yet correctly known. We are told " the full extent of the loss from this disastrous event cannot, as yet, be ascertained ; but the Talavera 74, is reduced• to a cinder—the Imogene frigate the same—the Minden, 74, greatly damaged, and will probably be broken v— an immense quantity of timber (for ship-building) and deals destroyed—the Adelaide gallery. with all its valuable and interesting contents, totally consumed —the docks of the two burnt ships very much da maged, and the working tools of several hundred artificers (which will inflict on them much misery), forming an aggregate of little less than HALF A MIL LION." We leave to ingenious adepts in " Cocker" to ascertain, with arithmetical exactness the number of eighteenpennies that have actually been saved by the Whig economy plan, and the length of time it would take to make that saving equal the loss which it has caused to the country. This sort of cheap Govern ment is, it must be admitted, a very expensive thing. Pence are saved while thousands of pounds are most most wastefuhy squandered. If a Whi: 4 , Minister were asked what Edmund Burke meant by the " cheap de fence of nations," he would most probably say " it was the saving of some two or three eighteenpences a night in the article of watching the ships in our naval arse- Pals." When asked what the want of watching cost the country, be would no doubt adopt Lord Palmer :ston's approved form of expression, when troublesome inquiries are addressed to him, and say, " I have no official information." tem. (From the Times.) The Cabinet Ministers held Councils in Downing- street on Thursday and last night, and, if we are to judge from the tenonr of the article in the Morning Chronicle yesterday, hurling defiance in the teeth of France, we have nothing left to do but to prepare for )somediate war. But though the Chronicle ought to be a uch better informed of the secrets of the Foreign ofllce than we can pretend to be, we have no hesita ioia in deciaring our conviction that the Cabinet came o to such desperate determination as that which it so I nequivocally announces. If her Majesty's Ministers I tad done so, and at the same time resolved to proclaim it; to the world by this hasty, blustering, and uncalled f )1.• m anifesto, Bedlam would be a fitter place for them o play their antics in . than Downing -street. k kThere was the necessity for any declaration of he it determination to stick to the letter of the reaty of July ? Who accused them of any intention _ o depart from it! Why, the very paper on whose irticle they pretend to comment says, in so many words, t bat they have determined " the execution of the treaty s laould be carried out to its full extent ;" and upon t Ills the Palmerston print pours forth a torrent of in ✓ ective against the press, the Government, and the p eople of France, and bawls out, " The treaty, the • Tole treaty, and nothing but the treaty.' We have a aver ceased to rebuke the intemperance and in p j uertinence of the Parisian press, but we have ne i er seen any article more wantonly insolent and p coking than this. We have already stated our or pit don, that the Quadruple Alliance will do well to m .et , t half way the advances which France has evinced a .:disposition to make, and if by some mutual con e raisons, by the adoption of some fresh lines of de n ereation, the Eastern question. can still be settled r all the five Powers, instead of by four to the C. ;elusio n of the fifth, let no dog g ed obstinacy, no false pr ide, a b ove all, no silly fear of being thought afraid, stt Ind in the way of this desirable consummation.

PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) We cannot announce with the easy confidence shown by the Capitole, the " known results" of " the English Cabinet Council of Monday." Nevertheless, we an ticipate that the collective results of the deliberations taken, whether in England or elsewhere, will con duce to the preservation of the peace of the world. We feel no doubt of this ; England has no covert or separate objects for which she has any desire to disturb the peace of the world ; her interest is to check inordinate aims at aggrandise ment, wherever those aims thwart the development of pacific resources and intercourse. That other Powers may have other objects is very intelligible ; the part of England is that of precaution against the pursuit of such objects, when attempted at the expense of the common rights and the common interests of nations. For this the policy of England is alternately clamoured and sneered at, as exclusively commercial ; exclusively that of a shop-keeping nation. Those who use this language do not appear to be sensible of the compliment they pay our policy, when they make this description of it. If they could allege that we pursued the principle of commercial exclusion—if they could pretend that we sought to monopolise all the advantages of commercial communication and intercourse, and exclude all others from partaking them, they might have some colour for their invectives against our " egotistical" policy. But merely to say that we follow none but commercial interests, when it must be admitted that we ask no exclusive favours for English commerce, is virtually to admit that we do not seek to conquer and despoil our neighbours, that we ask them only for such advantages as must be voluntary and mutual—that we do not seek to enlarge our territories and extend our frontiers at their expense. What is this, but to say that the weak and the pacific need have no fear from us ; and that, when the strong abuse us, it is probably because their intentions are less peaceful ? We see no reason why we should be ashamed of a shop-keeping policy ; and we smile at the inconsistency-with which it is sometimes disdained as pitiful, and at other times denounced as the most formidable system of invasion. (From the Courier.) If Lord Ebrington has at length - made up his mind to pass over " declared Repealei9," in dispensing the future favours" of Government, and plucked up courage enough publicly to announce that determina tion, bow does it happen that he has shown no disposition ' to remove from places of honour and trust those who have openly joined the Repeal agitation ? Has any one of the Magistrates or Deputy Lieutenants of Counties, who have enlisted under the banners of Repeal been removed from the Commission of the Peace ? Let even-handed justice be dealt out at any hazards. If non-official Repeaters lose the good will of the Govern ment, official ones ought not surely to retain it. If connec tion with the Repeal Association constitute disqualifica tion for office in all future candidates, afortioli it ought to constitute a disqualification in persons already in the enjoyment of office qnd its emoluments—for in the case of the latter, their unfitness for office is enhanced by the ingredient of political ingratitude. The evil, we assure Lord Ebrington, is not to be checked or eradi cated by this ambiguous and equivocal mode of treat ment. It was not thus Lord Anglesey grappled with it, and finally succeeded in suppressing it in 1833—but by means of active and decisive measures, skilfully con trived and vigorously executed. The first "great blow" struck at Repeal was the arrest on a charge of sedition of 1 its prime mover and his priacipal accomplices. Had the Whigs the courage or the honesty:to have followed up the blow then struck by the Irish Government, under the advice of the Irish Crown Lawyers, and to have brought up for judgment and punishment those con victed on their own pleas of "guilty," we should, we make bold to say, hear nothing now of the renewed clamour for Repeal. The salutary impression which wa-aimed punishment leaves after it, would have effec tually warned them against a repetition of the offence for which it had been inflicted, and Lord Ebrington would have been saved the pain of announcing in 1840 that in future " avowed Repeaters would cease to be appointed to places of honour or emolument." (From the Standard.) The origin of the fire in Plymouth Dock-yard still remains unknown, so far at least as the public are con cerned. Upon the just principle, therefore, that we are not to " presume wrong," we are bound for the present to suppose the calamity accidental. The Globe, indeed, intimates that the Chartists have been the incendiaries. This we could not bring ourselves to believe upon far stronger evidence than that suggested by the Melisterial Journal'. The Chartists have done many foolish, some mad, and a few wicked things ; but all their worst actions have had a direction to the redress or vindication of some real or imaginary grievance, not to the injury of their country. Mr. O'Connell is the only person who, upon the suggested approach of a vital struggle, ad%ises to cripple the defensive power ot the United King dom. We are not going to charge him with burning the Dock-yard, though we think him quite capable of doing it, if he had half the courage ot •' Jack the Painter," but we contend that the proofs against him are infinitively stronger than those surmised against the Chartists. The master of the Ministers has openly proclaimed an Irish neutrality, at the least, in the war upon the Queen's dominions threatened by France, though he offers his half million of armed men to put down the Chartists. This proves two things—first, that .Mr. O'Connell is the friend of France ; next, that he is the enemy of the Chartists, and AS the destruction of our navy can concern only ,a foreign war, that Mr. O'Connell is more likely to have had a hand in it than the Englishmen whom he would crush with his half million. We may remark, by the way, that Mr. O'Connell's treason has already produced soma effect in encouraging France to proceed to hostilities, as will be seen by the following extract from the Dublin Freeman's .Journal:— " Mr. O'Connell's remarkable letter to the Right Rev. Dr. Blake, in which the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman alludes to the alliance with Russia, is copied by all the French papers this morning, and made the text for some observations by several." We do not find that the Chartists have afforded to the enemies of England any encouragement similar to this. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. The polling re-commenced yesterday morning at nine o'clock, and proceeded rather languidly until three o'clock, when it closed. The crowd outside was considerable, and the great majority were supporters of Alderman Harmer, as were the greater number of those within the Hall, every voter for Harmer being loudly cheered as he left the Hall. There were numerous placards exhibited throughout the day, but there was not a single squib having the least pretension to wit or humour put firth by either party. The books having been cast up by the Secretary, the following was exhibited as the result of the day's poll : Alderman Harmer. . .... Alderman Pirie ......... 2,214 Alderman Johnson The announcement was received with cheers and hisses the latter of which predominated. Mr. Alderman HARMER then stood forward to ad dress the Livery, and was received with loud cheering. He said that when he addressed them on Wednesday he had complained of what he considered an unfair opposition on the part of his opponents—he had com plained of the way in which they had concocted a docu cument in secret, and he must protest against it.—(Cries of " No, no.") W.,s there any public statement that such e l ocnment was in existence until Monday, and had not persons gone round on the Saturday with this very document for the purpose of obtaining signatures to it from those who were under their influence ?—(Loud cheers.) That statement had been denied. (Cries of " No, no.) Mr. Meek had denied it, and asked him for the name of any person who had been applied to, and in reply he had told Mr. Meek that Mr. Baldwin had induced a gentle man to sign it. He had not said surreptitiously, as had been reported, but " inadvertently," and he repeated that when that gentleman discovered the nature of the document which he had inadvertently signed he struck his name out. Mr. Baldwin had that day in serted a letter in the papers—(Here the worthy Al derman read several extracts from the letter of Mr. Baldwin in the papers of to-day). Mr. Baldwin said that he had been actively engaged in canvassing to obtain signatures to that documents.—(Cheers.) He had in fact admitted the whole charge, and he (Alderman Harmer) charged every man who went round with that document, to obtain signatures before it was published t o th e world, with acting unfairly ! It contained written extracts from the Dispatch for three years back, and these extracts ended with September last before the election of Lord Mayor for the last year.--(Cheers.) Now, after these articles had appeared in the Dispatch, he had been returned by the Livery of London to the Court of Aldermen for the , Mayoralty—(Cheers)—and once before that he had been returned outof his turn—(Continued cheering)— and they would never have heard of these articles if the Dispatch had not opposed Mr. Walter.—(Great cheering.) H e did mot attempt to j us tify the articles which appeared. He had said before, and he re peated it, that he did not consider a newspaper the proper vehi c l e for the discussion of religious subjects.—(Loud cheers.) Ile did not go with those articles ; he was a true, honest, conscientious Christian—(Cheers)—but he despised the abuses of the Church—(Loud cheering)—fts he did every cur ruption existing in Corporations.—(lmmense cheering.) Goo thing was evident, that the citizens of London ought to elect their o wn Chi ef M ag i strate , an d not a m e re body like the Livery—(Great cheering)—and he t r ustal the day was not far dist an t i n w hi c h s uch a mea sure would be carried.—(C ont i nue d cheering.) Now what did they think of the religion an d morality of his oPPe nents ?—(Cheers and hisei.) IF they w ere mischievous a. title:: th it appcaredin the Di spatc h , w h at an swer „,hi t h e y wrike for giving them further publicity ? (Che.ri.) Mr. Walter , when taxed in the House of Commons with being connected with the Times, denied it.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") He had not the manliness that he (Mr. Harmer) bad, to avow his connection with the newspaper ; and he thought the Dispatch, with great credit to itself, might contrast what appeared in its columns with that which appeared in the Times.—(Great cheering.) He was not at all desponding ; he did not appear to be so ; and he could assure them be did not feel so.—(Cheers.) There was plenty of time to reverse that majority (pointing to the board on which .the numbers were stated. Cheers, and cries of " We will")—and if they elected him, they might depend upon it he would serve them truly, and perform his duties faithfully.—(Cheers.) A LIVERYMAN wished to know, if the worthy Alder- man was elected, whether he would be favourable to the abolition of the tomfoolery of the Lord Mayor's show ?—( Laughter.) Mr. Alderman HARMER said that no person liked less show and pageantry than himself. The same LIVERYMAN—I wish to know whether you would be favourable to the Government bringing in a Bill for the reformation of the Corporations of the city of London ? Mr. Alderman HARMER..--I said so just now. The Hall then adjourned till this morning at nine o'clock. ALDERMAN HARM ER. On referring to a pamphlet, published 33 years ago by Mr. Harmer, we find that he showed at that period, the same indep en d en t an d h umane spirit that has distinguished him since he became connected with the City of London. After the con viction of Holloway and Haggerty, well-known names, he had reasonable doubts of their guilt, and though and the publi c , were a ll against t J h u em dg , es, he Jury, wudetermi ne d to make an effort on their behalf, and drew up a statement which tended to prove that they were very unlikely men to commit a crime so abhorrent to human nature as that ascribed to them. So strong was the preju dice against these men, he could get no one at first to print the pamphlet, and certain parties at tempted to frighten him by kindly assuring him that if he went ag a i nst t h e A tt o rney an d Solicitor- Generals, he would be struck off the Rolls ; but, disregarding all these obstacles, he published the defence, remained on the Rolls, and ultimately be came the most eminent solicitor in London. We have great pleasure in giving the conclusion of the pamphlet, as it is so characteristic of the kind feeling and independence of the man, whom the bigots of London would now hunt to death The public are now in possession of the Documents I have collected, and of such observations as have oc curred. By soma I have been censured for the an. dertaking—by others threatened. I have been told, to my face, that prosecution would surely follow any pub. lication I might send into the world, which had for its object to show the innocence of the sufferers ; that the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals should be consulted ; that, if 1 ventured to publish any thing, I must not ex. pect to remain upon the Roll of Attorneys. But I was not to be intimidated or deterred from that which to me appeared right. If, because I dare give my opinion openly and dispassionately, together with the grounds upon which that opinion is formed, I am unfit to re main upon the R o ll, l et me b e s t ruc k off! I would rather subsist by d a ily l a b ou r, consc i ous o f not h av i ng violated or ne g l ec t e d a sacre d d u ty, th an fill t h e most lucrative situ a ti on , an d b ase ly su pp ress t h e truth, in compliance with mag i ster i a l menac e s; but I k now too well the liberality, the honoui, and the public virtue, of those who watch over the purity of the Rolls of At torneys, to entertain for a moment the slightest appre hension that such menaces can be carried into effect. " I know not whether similar threats have been- used to others ; but part of my manuscript was in the hands of a printer ; the press set, and a proof actually worked off,, when, together with the manuscript, it was re turned, accompanied by an apology from the printer ; saying, that, even if no ill consequence resulted, he should feel uneasy, and therefore declined proceeding. From this circumstance the publication has been una voidably delayed. " I have now discharged that which I consider an imperative duty. Whether I am justified in the steps I have taken ; whether the observations I have offered are deserving attention, the inferences just; or the con clusions maintainable ; or, whether the facts produced are irrelevant and improbable, the public will deter mine. Co their tribunal I submit the whole openly and unreservedly, yet with the greatest diffidence as to the execution of the task. Whatever be the result, I shall be cantata. Conscious that lam prompted by none but pure ant, disinteresteu motives, and that I have no de sire whatever to miarepresent facts, or mislead the public opinion ; if I err in the judgment I have formed, the error will, I hope, be deemed to proceed from the head, and not from the heart. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Bailey was placed at the bar, on the charge of cruelly beating his wife, and threatening to take her life, and with having seriously injured his son, a youth about fifteen years of age. The prisoner's wife stated that she had been fre quently compelled to bring him before the Magistrates. Yesterday he came home in a state of beastly in toxication, and demanded money, which she refused. He then commenced smashing the few articles of fur niture in the room, and when she endeavoured to stop him he knocked her down. Her son tried to save her, but the prisoner seized a poker and struck the poor child a blow which fractured several bones in his hand. Sir PETER LAURIE read the prisoner a severe lec ture, and ordered him to be remanded. BOW-STREE7. William Rogerson, a stamper and letter-carrier em ployed in the General Post-office, was yesterday placed at Inspector P earce , A di v i s i on , charged with the itl stebaalr by stealing several letters containing sums of money and jewellery to a considerable amount. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, assisted by Mr. Peacock, jun., conducted the prosecution, and a clerk from the office of Mr. Flower, of Hatton-garden, appeared for the prisoner. The first case against the prisoner was for stealing a letter containing 351. I Is., the property of Mr. Lynch, a barrister. Mark Ly nc h b eing sworn, said, I reside e Ni r.Hnry at Albion Cottage, Haaapstead.road, and my aunt Eliza beth Mackenzie Foulk s li ves with me. On the 27th August she wrote a letter to Mr. Sange, of Bristol, which she gave to me with seven 51. bank of England notes, a half sovereign and a made a memorandum of th e num b er an d d ate o f the notes, and enclosed them with the letter in an enve lope, which I addressed, and, after sealing it, I took it t o the Hampstead Post-office, about four o'clock in the afternoon, where I posted it, having pre-paid it with 2d. and, some time after, having ascertained that it had not reached its destination, I made a communication of the circumstance to the Post -office authorities. ' The notes produced are the same, as is also the envelope, which I posted on the day in question. Mr. Shury, principal letter-carrier at the Post-office, Hampstead, proved that a letter posted at Hampstead about four o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th August last, addressed to Bristol, would in the regular course of business have been forwarded the same day, in the mail-bag, to the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le- Grand. in tthhe ' Mr. Blott, clerk in the General Post-office, proved that the letter produced bore the Hampstead post stamp of the day in question, and it ought in the regu !laarmccouervseenitnoghtaove Bristol. been diTsphaetchperdisobnyerthweasmeamil employed n oy t e h d e e p tiv a ae s Nrr le idee d oemo throughißrt Bristol, Au gust :te l.valnland ,rds -office, ot ci remittance iiitrnkencsmenehe might g t vow h hef e t, si evening snalu.txh leel.r, r of eog t fu h l e asr 2 t . 7t 27th course A ug u u g hs u at s uv t have stamping paid letters, and the letter produced bore expecting, about the 28th Au s. from Miss Foulke impression to o l, f hw t i l s ie sb s a t en a xd m s p . which he had been using on nor did the letter produced his hands. of Letter-carriers, to 259, In a bureau in the parlour General Post -office on the 25th September, where be Pearce, Inspeetor A division, went to the p to ro o p k e t r h ty , High-street, Poplar, and he found . 1801 . in sovereigns ptroisaonlearr,gaeccaommopuannt.ied by Mr. Russell, Inspec torand half-sovereigns, together with jewellery and other There were also several letters, and among them the one produced, addressed to " James B. Sanger, Bristol," the seal of which was broken open. Mr, Fl ower ' s clerk asked if t he prisoner did not afford every facilit y to have the prem ises searched? The witnes s sa id t h at h e a ssisted to make the search, and sh owe d no displined sayingosition to cau se an y obstruction. The prisoner dec ( property anything, and he was fully committed for trial. . He was again charged with stealing a letter, contain ing a gold lever watch value between 30/. and 401., the Mr. Tyrrel stated ;hat ' he t )osted the gold watch produced to his niece Miss Tyrrel, of WArwiek•place, paid Bd. Wort hing, on the 12th September last, at the receiving house at the corner of Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, o p f os lit a r g. . e T , y b e i t ' I 03: the Postmaster St. J a mes's. which was inclosed in a small red case, and for which he Postmaster remarking that p ro b a bl y it would not reac h its destination, he banded a l etter, which he ba d wr itten to his nie ce , to his servant to post it at Charing-cross, informing her that the watch would reach her in another packet, on Monday the 14th ; he received a letter from her inform iiif him that his letter had come to hand, but she had never seen any thing of the watch...which caused him to communicate with the General Post-office upon the subject. Mr. Platt proved that a letter posted at the Aibe made-street receiving -house, before five o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th Sept., and directed to Worthing, would in the regular course be forwarded the same evening to the General Post-office, and should have been despatched from thence at ei g ht o' c l oc k th e same even ing in the mail bag, to its destination. The prisoner was on duty that evening in the General Post-office, as a stamper of paid letters, and the parcel produced might have passed through his hands. Inspector Reeve found the watch produced, with the case, in the bureau, when the prisoner said, " I have been in the line," meaning, as witness supposed, that he had been a dealer in jewellery and watches, but he gave no explanation respecting the other property. The prisoner was also aommitted on this charge. He was again charged with stealing a letter, contain ing four gold chains, value 291. 45., the property of Messrs. Catchpole and Williams, silversmiths and jewel• lers, 120, Regent -street. Mr. Edwin Charles, assistant to Messrs. Catchpole and Co., stated that by the direction of his employers he enclosed, on the 17th of September last, four gold chains, produced, in a box, which he put into a sheet of paper, and directed it to Mrs. Fanshawe, of Tilbuster Lodge, near Godstone, Surrey. He then took the packet to the receiving -house, Vigo-street, Regent street where he delivered it to Mr. Kelly, th re ceiver, paying 10d. as postage. In a few days after he leard that it had never reached its destination. Mr. Blott havin. , repeated his evidence, Inspector Pearce identified the chains as the same which he found, with seven letters produced, when he searched the bureau in the prisoner's parlour. The prisoner was committed for trial. He was next charged with stealing a letter containing 15 gold wedding rings, value 51., the property of Mr. Lias Zilamouth, Finsbury-street, Finsbury square. Mr. Palma Lias, jun., stated that he wrote a letter on the 24th September, enclosing the property produced, which he directed to Mr. Wdlford of Bradbury, and he gave it to Edward Read, the porter, to post it. Edward Read recollected having put a latter similar to that produCed into the General Post-office on the afternoon of the day in question, which he had received for that purpose from the last witness, and for which he paid 4d. as postage. Alice Chapman, of Marylebone School, New-road, identified a letter produced, which she wrote on the 24th September to John Chapman, and in which she en closed ]s. It was directed to him at Wimpole, near Harrington, Cambridgeshire, and she posted it the same afternoon at the receiving -house in Devonshire -street, Marylebone, paying the postage of I d. for it. Mrs. Mary Thompson, 46, Green-street, Bethnal green, wrote the letter produced on Thursday 24th September, enclosing Is. to Paul Thompson, Sea bathing Infirmary, Margate, which she posted the same evening at the Bethnal-green posting-house. Rebecca Young, of East-street, Mile-end, identified a letter addressed to Mrs. Nichols, Waterloo-place, Trowbridge, Wilts, which was written for her on the 24th September, and in which she enclosed the sum of Is. 6d. ; on the same evening, she posted it, and paid 2d. postage. Mr. Joseph Hugo, of Hoxton, also identified a letter addressed to Miss Firmen, of Aspen-green, Manfield, Suffolk, on the 24th Sept., containing 25., which he gave to Edward Firmen to take to the Post-offiee. Edward Firmen recollected receiving the letter pro duced from the last witness, which he put into the Post-office near the church at Hoxton, for which he paid 2d. as postage. Inspector Pearce identified the seven letters pro duced which he took from the bureau when he took the prisoner into custody in High-street, Poplar, two of which were belonging to persons not present. Mr. Blott gave similar evidence in each case. Mr. JARDINE inquired how it happened that each of the letters did not form a separate. and distinct case. Mr. Peacock replied that they were found in the same parcel, and had been posted en the same day. The prisoner made no defence, and he was com mitted for trial. The property found when the officers searched his house were six gold watches, six silver watches, two silver watch cases, seven gold chains, sixty wedding rings, eight gold brooches, six gold lockets, twenty one gold watch keys, twelve silver watch keys, three packages of silver wire, eighteen reels of silver cord, three dessert spoons, seven salt spoons, two spirit labels, seventeen gold rings, eight old coins, a box of glass eyes, and six letters unopened, apparently containing coins or jewellery, Mr. Flower's clerk applied to have part of the pro perty restored, on the ground that it could not bC the contents of letters, the prisoner having been in the jewellery line of business. Mr. Peacock said there was no evidence to prove that they were not the proceeds of the several robberies committed by the prisoner, and he should decline to part with them, unless ordered by the Magistrate to do so. Mr. JARDINE said that such a step would be very imprudent, under all the circumstances of the case, and he should make no order about it. Tie prisoner was then removed from the bar. WORSHIP-STREET. IMPOSITIONS OF A " LOAN" SOCIETY.-Yesterday Mr. BROUGHTON, the sitting Magistrate, had before him the adjourned complaint of a number of persons against the managers of what was falsely termed a " Loan Society." Mr. Turner, who was the person summoned, appeared at the first hearing with Mr. Chambers as his Counsel, but he did not come forward yesterday. Mr. BROUGHTON strongly expressed his indignation at the manner in which the poor people had been de luded, and at the sort of defence set up. The printed placards in the windows to attract the public, and the printed rules, which purported to have been enrolled in the usual way, after beinc , revised by Mr. Tidd Pr a tt, the barrister, all set f or th Turner's name conspicuously as treasurer, which the poor people had no doubt con s;dered a guarantee for the safety of their money, and he was responsible to them for it. The Magistrate, however, found that considerable doubt existed as to the extent to which he could interfere in the ma , ter, and he adjourned the case, with a view of ascertaining in what way be could compel a restoration of the money to the poor people, but he intimated to the defendant Turner that if he had any regard for character he would in the meantime see that an arrangement was effected with them. Yesterday Turner did not appear, nor any one for the society, but the poor complainants were duly in attend ance, and one of them proved that he had just returned from the office of the Clerk of the Peace, where he paid 6d. to have the rules searched, and was informed that no enrolment of the society had taken place. Another complainant had boen to Mr. Pratt, who knew nothing of the rules. Mr: BROUGHTON said the parties then were liable for conspiracy in' obtaining money under false pretences, and he referred the complainants to their solicitor, to adopt the proper means of proceeding against them ; and after indignantly commenting upon the circumstances of the case, he expressed a hope that the reporters present would expose them through the newspapers, and thus put the publi c on t h e i r guar d . The parties retired with their solicitor. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LLOYDS.

S. and B. Solomon's Invisible Operative Voice Conductor and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, can not be adduced, than the circumstance of the many thousands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense de mand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solo mons disdain- all connection with persons of the same name, and the sale of amlier spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving wilt the word "Amber,' and calling theta " P.,tent Spectacles."" Dr. Andrew , (Ire, Esq., M. D., F. R. S., &c., states amber is most powerfully electrical by friction, very hot, to such an ex tent as to explode into fragments. The workmen, too, are subject to a nervous tremor in their wrists, arms, &c , they encounter great danger by handling such dreadfully-ex cired electrics. Amber is of such a soft and sticky na. lure, that it is apt to take fire ; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with fl :me. This statement is further confirmed by Sir D Brewster and Pliny, and also by Parks and liearns on chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a material for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascei tained at any respectable optician's in London. , MARKET IN TELLIGENCE. PRICE OF BREAD.

SVGAR.—The British Plantation Sugar Market has as sumed a quiet aspect; the demand from the grocers has been limited this week, they taking barely sufficient to supply their immediate wants, and the refiners mostly keep out of the market; middling and fine yellow kinds have brought previous rates, but brown and low yellow qualities have in several cases been disposed of at a reduction of 6d per cwt ; some of the importers are still sanguine in their expectations, the deficiency in the comparatitre stacks increasing, and the trade everywhere being scantily sup plied. The purchases for the three market days have amounted to 1,000 hhds and tierces, including 151 hhds Barbadoes at public sale, which went at previous rates, and all found buyers, fine yellow at 86s to 86s 6d, good 84s 6d to 85s 6d, middling 83s to 84s, and one lot greyish damp 81s; privately for low yellow Trinidad 81s 6d has been accepted and 83a to 84s for good yellow St. Kitts.

REFINED.—In the value of Refined Goods little varia tion has taken place since we last wrote, but there has been a better demand frim the home trade, and a fair amount of business has been transacted on the following terms ;—Standard lumps at 101 s 6d to 102 s, good and fine brown lumps 97s to 100 s, ordinary 95s to 96s ; Ham bro Loaves and Tittlers, fine Io6s to 107 s, good 103 s to 107 s per cwt.

Siaru has sold slowly, but prices keep up ; the public sales of 6,000 bags are postponed until the 20th. Java has been in fair demand by private treaty, and full prices have been paid; the refiners continue the chief operators. White kinds of Bengal hare brought previous rates, but the home trade have bought with caution ; broWn and low sorts arc heavy of sale, and offered at rather lower prices ; there has been no public sale, but 700 bags brown are declared for the 7th. The stock is 25,136 bags less than at this time last year. _ _ This afternoon the trade evinced little desire to purchase Bengal, and 1,194 bags at public sale went without spirit, white sorts however at full prices, but brown and yellow kinds sold rather cheaper, fine white fetched 87s to 88s, good 85s to 86s, low middling 84s to 84s 6d, middling bright yellow 83s, dingy 80s to Bls 6d, b:ight brown 763 6d to 775, damps, white, and brown 75 to 86s 6d, washed 72s 6d to 83s, white, Sugar drainage, damaged, 81s 6d to ass 6d.

Yellow Ha vannah is not procurable on lower terms, but there has been only a limited business transacted privately, either for export or refining under bond, and none has been offered at auction ; there are still buyers to a fair extent at a slight reduction. The demand for white has been very limited, but holders have displayed firmness, and previous rates have been supported. For public sale on the 20th, 320 chests 250 barrels Pernams are declared : 2,032 boxes Havannah have arrived since last Friday.

East India is procurable on rather lower terms, but there are few buyers. The stock of W. I. is rather less than it was last year at this time. Brandy has supported previous rates, but the accounts from France speaking favourably of the vintage have caused the trade to buy less freely, still a fair amount of business has been transacted on the follow ing terms :—Cognac first brand of the vintage of 1836 at 5s 2d to 5s 4d in hhds and puns ; 1837, 5s to 5s 2d ; ditto 1838, 4s 10d to ss; ditto 1839, 4s 7d to 4s 9d.
