We regret to find, at the end of the thirteenth day from the discovery of the remains ou the but tress of Waterloo-bridge, that the investigations of the p ,lice have led to no satisfactory result with reference to the elucidation of this mysterious murder—if murder it b:—a doubt now generally entertained by th ose w h o h ave pa id any attention to the circum s t ances i n conneci i on with it, not withstanding the asseverations to tho con trary of those who place more ralianca on the truth of medical science than on the results of actual investigation and discovery of the manlier in which crimes of this enormity have hitherto been revealed. The non-identification of the carpet bag and clothes, after the facilities given by the police, con firms the opi n i on expressed by us on a former occa sion, that this i s no t a murder, and every day's experience but confirms that opinion. Since the discovery made at Waterloo -bridge, a number of most absurd statements in connexion with the alleged murder have been published, and dis coveries of human remains have been made suffi cient to create great alarm in the public mind, but as yet no trace has been found of the missing head, hands, and feet, which is certainly a remarkable circumstance, as tending to confirm the theory that the remains were no portion of a foul and horrible murder. Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of Bar Les were alarmed by the announcement that the thigh of a human being had been found floating up with the tide, belonging to that of the man whose re mains were found in the carpet-bag ; but the evi dence of Mr. Paynter before the Coroner distinctly shows that that part of the flame is not missing. It is, however, an ascertained fact that the thigh of a full-grown male person was found floating up with the tide, but on its examination by Mr. Pulling, he stated his opinion that it had been subjected to a chemical process. The public exhibition of the cloth e s at Bow street has been stopped, in consequence of the number of idle persons it attracted to the station to the impediment of the ordinary b us i ness of the day. They, however, still remain at the station for examination, by persons who really believe they are able to identify thew, a statement rau that the clothes d w e e7e d go n i e n c g es o sa n ry a p fr ro o v ul n t c h ia v a e n po d rt afterwards a con tinental tour.

"I therefore venture to trouble you with a letter of inquiry as to the proceedings of the :Mansion-house Committee. " A preliminary meeting was held at Worcester, yes terday, and I was there told by several gentlemen, R 9 I have heard from many quarters eleewhere, that there exists in the public mind, in combination with a desire to subscribe, a feeling that no adequate security has yet been offered with respect either to the responsibility under which the fund is to be administered, or the' prin ciples, regulations, or conditions under which it is to be applied. " I shall therefore feel obliged to you if you can send me any summary of your plan or other information which may tend to mitigate a fueling of distrust which is much lamented.

Ttie business is conducted by a general committee, whose meetings are held weekly ; a finance committee, whose meetings are held weekly ; and a relief committee, who meat twice a-week. I en close to you a list of the names of the gentlemen who compose the relief and finance committees, which you will find to include East India directors, bank directors, m erehants ' and bankers, and officers, both military and civil, who have occupied important positions in India. " The meetings of those committees are uniformly well attended, the relief committee being assisted by two honorary secretaries, whose laborious duty it is to inves tigate and report upon every case for the relief of which application is made to the fund. "The committee havo placed themselves in communi cation with the relief committee at Calcutta, enclosing; to them the accompanying addr es s and resolutions, re questing their suggestions and t h e t ransm i ss i o n by every mail of a full record of their proceedings, including an account of their receipts par ticularsa of every case to wh i ch they affor d re li e f.

She writes thus—'The children at the asylum are in a most pitiable state, they are obliged to be put on the smallest possible rations, and there will be no warm d Ailing for them this winter. Mr. Parker (the superin tendent) is at his wits' end for resources ; my husband gave 500 r. the other day to su pply their immediate wants.'

The rivers have all fallen wonderfully, the Juwna t.avin g gone down 30 feet in a week ; this will help the crossing greatly, and enable us to act on the enemy's flanks advantageously on the march to Lucknow, which could not be done at the time of the previous advance owieg to the whole country b e i ng un d er wa t er : W e have information that the Lucknow garrison have pro visions to last them until the 20th inst.

In another letter i t is mentioned that Mr. Colvin. is prepared to aid a column advancing on Delhi with camels and other carriage as they approach Agra. At Mterut they have also collected car riage to some extent. The sth and 90th are armed with Enfield rifles. In another letter, dated the 29th of August, writes from Allah:that' :_... " We have sent on 400 men this week to Cawnpore by train (40 miles), and the dick and wounded men of General Havelock's force aro now on their way here, and will come in the last 40 miles by railway." It appeArs from the above extracts that in addi tion to the two columns of Outram's force of 663 + 680.,=1,363.; a de tac h ment of 400 men h a d preceded him, which would give a total reinforce ment of 1,763. THE FUND FOB RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA. The amount of snbscriptienealready received in Brighton in aid of the sufferers by the Indian mutinies is upwards of 3,0001, LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. FONBLANQUE V. BUCKSTONE. The learned judge (F. Bayley, Esq.) this morning gave his decision in thin case. It will be recollected that the plaintiff forwarded a farce to the defendant, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, for his approval and acceptance. Some time afterwards Mr. Fonbianque wrote to the defendant from the country, to ascertain whether the farce was accepted, but not receiving an answer to his communication he came to town to make personal application for the manuscript. After some time if was returned to him, and the present action was brought to recover the expense of the journey to Lon don and the value of the work, which had been destroyed by being so long kept by the defendant. His Honour said he had taken time to consider the case, and, after a careful study of the whole facts, he thought that the plaintiff had a right to bring the action, but that he was only entitled to nominal damages. The judgment of the court, therefore, was ls, for the detention of the farce, and costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(Tbis Day.) WESTMINSTER. ASSAULT IN THE MIDDLESEX HOUSE OF CORREC TION BY A FEMALE PRISONER ON THE MEDICAL OFFICER.—JuIia Crinin, a prisoner in the Middlesex House of Correction, Millbank, was brouht up on a warrant placed in the hands of lino ~‘ land, the summon ing officer of the court, charged before Mr. C. 0. DAyman with committing an assault, on the 7th of Oct., on Dr. Joseph S, Lewis, one of the medical officers of the prison. The complainant stated that on the day in question, the prisoner was on his sick-list, and he went to see her. He was accompanied by one of the female warders. On coining to her cell, he asked her if she was unwell, as her name was on his list. She made no reply, when he again put the question to her, and inquired her com plaint. She immediately made use of a most filthy ex pression. Complainant remarked to her that if she had no respect for him, she should have some regard for one of her own sex (the warder). She then struck hirn on his mouth, and attempted to come out of the cell. He put her back and left her with the officer. Mr. Denman (to the prisoner) —Do you mean to ask the complainant any question ? Prisoner—No, eir. Mr. Dayman—ls the warder present, who was with you, to give evidence ? Complainant—She is not; I did not think it necessary. She will not attempt a denial of the charge. Knowland stated that wben the prisoner, as she was leaving the gaol, was taken into custody by him, he told her with what 43 he was charged. She then observed that if Dr. Lewis was with him she would knock his b-- eye nut, and tear up his b-- umbrella. Mr. Dayrnan (to the prisoner) —Have you anything to say t 9 the charge ? Prisoner —Nothing, sir. Mr. Dayman—This appears to be a very unprovoked assault on your part, and that there was not the slight est cause for the assault. I shall call upon you to enter upon your own recognizance to keep the peace for one month, and in one surety of 51. The prisoner said " Very well,"and in default of bail was conveyed back to prison. EXECUTION AT ABERDEEN. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ABERDEEN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. John Booth, convicted of murdering his mother-in law, at Oldmeldrum, in July last, was Ex:cutei this morning by Calcraft. Ile addressed the crowd with firmness, contradicting his statement, made to the Judge in Court, that his wife's unfaithness, abett3.l by her mother, had led to the murder. ANOTHER CASE OF CRUELTY BY A MERCHANT CAPTAIN. BOSTON, Oct. 21.—Yesterday at the general quarter sessions for this district, George Wright, captain of the brig Stanley, of Whitby, recently arrived at this port fro a Riga, was indicted for several acts of cruelty to James Day, aged 15, an apprentice on board the above vessel, while on a ♦oyage from Riga to Boston. The case excited considerable interest. Mr. York appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Toynbee defended the accused. James Day, the prosecutor, said that he was in the Ui i m at Bly hing, in Suffolk, when he was sent to sea by the board of guardians in November last on board a schooner that sailed from Southwold. They went to Hartlepool, when he was put on beard another ship, in consequence. of being so small, and they went from Norwich to Hartlepool, when ho left the ship and walked to Whitby. He then became acquainted with Mrs. Marshal, a lodging house keeper, through watching SORIA clothes for her. She had him bound apprentice on the 9t'a of July to his present master, the prisoner, who gas.° her six shillings, and he believed he was bound for five years. Toe pri goner was captain, wiso ordered him to go on hoard the brig Stanley, and he welt to a place close to Newcastle, where the brig was lc a. , led with ga , , coals, mid iron fot Stockholm, about the 21st of July last, she sailed to Riga, and from Riga to Boston, with timber He was not allowed to go below, but used to sleep on deck, in the longboat or galley, in his wet clothes. He became very loose in his inside in consequence of being badly fed. The prisoner used to be continually flojuing biro, and would heave any mortal thing at hint. Ho let two plates fall one day while in the cabin, off &minor° ; the prisoner struck him with a sharp piece of wood on the head, part of a broken chest, the scar of which was then visible, though it had been done three weeks. The wound poured down with Mod, and hie face and clothes. Warnes, the cook, helped him to wash it. On Thursday, the let of October, just after leaving Elsinore, on the passage home, he let the fire go out, in oon.e quence of which the prisoner said he would not let him have anything to eat, and then tied him up. He tied his hands behind his back, his feet close together, rest ing on the deck cargo, and fastened a rope round his neck, one end of which was attached to the main boom, and the upper to the rigging ; he also tied a rope round his forehead with a deep sea lead attached to it, weigh ing about 281e5,, hanging down his back, which was secured by another rope round hie waist. The rope round his neck was so tight that lie could scarcely breathe, anded she ,:ur tei , Turing i h ea v this time every m theuseh. He got ship was under his feet e o rested topsails,, a ce, and the prisoner ropes-ended him and tied them together again. He was thus tied up from one o'clock in the day to five in the evening, when Edwin Hanehaw, one of the crew took him down by the prisoner's orders. He could scarcely walk to the cabin, in consequence of the treatment he had received. He had breakfast next day at eight in the more ing, and had nothing else to eat until eight on the fol lowing morning, and by'the prisoner's orders he walked the deck all night. He was bruised all over from the beating of the master. He had a sore at the bottom of his back from the deep sea line chafing it. His testimony was confirmed by John Warner; and James Martin, two of the crew, who spoke ce the cruel ties which the boy had received. They added that if the main sheet had given way tho boy's neck must have been wrenched off. The Chairman, the Rev. Mr. lloldsworth, having carefully summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner guilty on the first and second counts—ill-treating the lad whereby his life was in danger, and assaulting him with intent to ch bodily harm. The Chairman then addressed the prisoner, and com mented upon his cruel treattnent of the prosecutor. The court felt bound to pass a sentence upon him of 18 months' imprisonment, with hard lab mr, in the Spald ing House of Correction. The bench hoped that this case would operate as a warning to masters of ships, who, having so much power vested in them by the law over their men, were required to ex ireise that power with moderation, and not as a pretext for oppression and tyranny. The prisoner was removed to the gaol. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LON - DON, Oct. 21.—Wind this day at noon, N.E.; moderate breeze, and dull hazy weather.

THE QUARTER SESSIONS 4ND THt ARGYLL ROOMS. In the year 1747, upwards of a century ago, in the 21st year of the reign of George the Second, a reign signalised by factious conspiracies and open rebellion — before popular education had aided to humanise and elevate the minds of the people, and social and political reforms had ameliorated their physical condition, before gas was invented, or oil was put to use—in the times of dark streets, footpads, and highwaymen, when no system of police opposed restraint to disorder and pre. vention to crime, an act was passed entitled "An Act for the Bitter Preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for Regulating Places of Public Entertain ment, and Punishing Persons Keeping D is o r d ettv Houses." The second clause of this statute pre mises—" Whereas the multitude of places of en tertainment for the lower sort of people, is another great cause of thefts and robberies, tempting them to spend their small sule,tance in riotous pleasure e, and putting them ou unlawful methods of supplying their wants and renewing their pleasures ; " and after stating these reasons, provides that "any house, room, garden, or other place kept for public dancing, music, or other entertainment of the like kind, in the Cities of London and Westminster," without a license had for that pur pose from the last preceding Michaelmas Quarter Ses sions of the Peace, granted in the discretion of the magis trates, ball b 3 deemed a disorderly house or place. The third chose provides that in case of breach of either of the conditions of the licenses, it shall be for feited ; and empowers the magistrates to revoke th:. same. Introducing our observations with thus much of the wisdom of our ance t)rs—and perhaps they were wise in and for their day and generation—we propoi-e to consider a case in which the wisdom of 1747 has been committed for purpose and fulfilment to the discretion of 1857 —we mean the case of the Argyll Rooms. Th s most p )pular of all the places of public resort and entertainment in London was licensed by the insgi,tratet, at the Michaelmas session of the year 1850, p.ncl from __ ...._ ............. that period until the sessions just terminated the license has been from year to year renewed—that is to say, for the period of seven years. Taking the sta' ements of the proprietor, upwards of a million and a-halt of visitors have attended his entertainments. Not a single case of riot, disturbance, or even intoxication, has been wit. neesed within the walls of his establishment; nor has a single charge of a criminal nature, not even a case of common assault occurred. In fact, no charge of any de scription has ever been made against it. We speak of our own knowledge when we say, that it has always been frequented by as good male society as London, or even England can furnish ; and that it has been, with such a class of gentlemen, the favourite eveniog resort and promenade. That the females we have seen there have been respectable both in appearance an•t behaviour; and that we never saw the slightest inde corum committed in the place. ' That so far a 9 our knowledge extends the public' reputation of the establishment fully corroborate it—the nighty enter- Latin:mats are conducted with as much propriety as in any private ball-room. Indeed, in private bells we have , seen far greater cases of intoxication, which imputation against his establishment the proprietor of the Argyll Rooms repels. Under these circumstances we insist, that no person can for a moment be justified in denouncing, indiscriminately, the females who are to be seen in the Argyll-rooms as a bevy of prostitutes, Relying on the high and well-merited reputation of his establishment, the proprietor applied at the late sessions for a renewal of the license, and the board re jected his application. Oa what grounds ? Not that music and dancing are improper amusements ; because the same board granted licenses to about fifty other inferior places in London, including many new ones, for the express purpose of enanl , ng the public to be provided with the same recreation. Not that any csnditions on which the license was granted had be, n violated ; be cause .the facts stated, in relation to the perfect propriety with which the entertainments have always been conduoted, stand admittol. It may be un necessary to state, what is already well known, that the music of the Argyll•rooms is excellent, and the orchestra the first of its kind in London ; that the rooms themselves are the most spaci ous, the most elegant, the best fitted for the entertain ments given in them, and, without exception, the finest in the metropolis, and, we may say, in Europe ; that the proprietor must of necessity have expended a very large sum of money in making them what they are ; that they are moot conveniently situated in a bye street, where the occasional and unavoidable impedi ment of a concourse of perarns going to, and returning from, a place of public amusement is not felt, and has never been complained of; that they have kept in permanent and profitable employment something like a hundred respectable and industrious persons, and must, therefore, have contributed largely to the business interests of the community ; awl that they are the only West-and place of public amusement, where the entertainment of mu-icand danc ng w. s provided. 10n what grounds, then, did the Board of Ssoeions exorcise this extraordinary instance of discretion ? Let us see if, in the opposing evidence, anything can be found to justify it. On the hearing of the case, a portion of a report made by one of the inspectors of police, Inspeo:or O'Brien we believe, was introduced, and its author put into the witness-box. That report stated, that from five to seven hundred prostitutes nightly frequented the Argyll I Rooms ; which statement was supported by the vs , b ..I evidence of the author, and two other inspectors, Tester and Webb, who were called for that purpose. ._ Now, in the absence of all cross-Lximination to sift and shake that testimony, we insist that its unsparing and iudiscr.mir a! - .e character,to any one gifted with ordi , nary perception, disproves itself. Had these witnesses personal knowledge of each and every one of the large number of females whom they thus atiginati i.d ? Were they prepared to prove, we will not say acts - of prostitution, but the reputation of a prostitute again•t each and every one of them ? Dal they watch them from their homes ? Did they track them back again ? Did ti - oey play the spy to detect each and every one of them in her imputed voca. tion ? Did they know each individual na ae , each in dividual residence, of the whole number I Did they wii. Dell each and every one of them riotous, disorderly, intoxicated, indecorous in speech or action, either iu going to or returning from the Rooms ? Were they in the Rooms, and all over the Roans, these uliquit3us inspectors, every and each succeeding night, toascer tain that thcre were always there,ithe same, , " from five to seven hundred females," and not only in numbers, but in identity also ; and to satisfy themselves by irre- fragibls proof of the truth of what they stated. Did they see at any time ten, or twenty, or fifty, or even a hundred prostitutes there, and connect with them in the common estimate the remaining tour to kis hundred ? Then did they see such acts of familiarity, common acquaintance, common and complete know ledge of each with the other and with all as to justify such a universal acausation. Because Tray must be is bad company before he can be pelted as a bad dog, and being in bad company mean, not in a world which contains bad doge, nor under a roof where Soule may have congregated ; but actually associating, frater- Meing, and in act and dee(l'making himself one of them. In brief, what was the specific and exact knowledge, either as regards common reputation or personal con duct, possessed by these inspect-rs in regard to each and every one of this large number of females ? Teat is the question, for specific and exact knowledge must be the bases and the essence of every statement to give it weight as evidence. Finally, do police inspectors take upon themselves, in detail and minutiae, the dutie•-- otfices, we should rather say—which could alone had to such knowledge? We all know that they do uot, and we know simply that the thing is impossible. Such thtngs have been heard and read of as swearing do en a fact, and all round a fact—dodges of all kinds where the 0 1 .3-ct has been to evado or conceal the truth —for there are consciences which at their convenience will no more take hold on verity than a hand can grasp a ball of ice larger than the compass of its grasp — prejudices which add to it or take from it in proportion with the force and bias of those prejudices —many modes of testifying which are not truth, nor legal falsehood either, because the malice is wanting, but grit,' tut e ors, and this testimony is of the last description. It was not fact, nor conclusion, nor inference, for no premises were stated or existed from which suce a conclusion or inference could be drawn. It was simply a broad, gene ral, sweeping, uncharitable, impossible, and unsupport able assertion, which could not have stood the test of the weakest analysis. It is probable that counsel enter• tamed this view of it, and therefore considered it un worthy the pains of sifting by cross-examination. We wish it kad been otherwise—we wish that the witnesses had been compelled to admit ignorance, if of only one in the from " five to seven hundred," so that the poor Argyll Rooms should not have stood an utter Gomorrah in the eight of the three inspectors. And this evide ce was hi screw of the lever which lifted the discretion of the Board of Magistrates to such a pitch of enlightenment that they could see nought but darkness and infamy in the favourite resort of aristo oracle St. James's. What was the other consideration weighing with the Court—the point of support to the lever ? The character of the Haymarket. - It was stated by the witnesses that at the time of the breaking up of the Argyll its visitors distributed them selves about the Haymarket and neighbourhood, and became a public nuisance. Was there on the bench no one gentleman who in his day had sown wild oats, or who, perhaps, yearning for the wisdom which should in due season mature into the discretion of the Quarter Sessions, had, peradventure, looked' on while others pursued that unprofitable course of agriculture I Was there, we ask, no such one gentleman on the bench not ignorant of the fact that the Haymarket, for years be fore those witnesses put on public livery, was the same nuisance that it is at present ? And for the neighbourhood in years long gone—Panton-square, Coventry - court, Oxenden - street, Panton - street, James'-Street—what old perambulator of London does not remember them as they used to be? Fro n time immem nal the Haymarket has been the chief m aket overt of those unfortunate women. They have esta blished themselves there by ancient custom, toiphich "the me mory of man runneth not t o the contrary. * The facts we state aro patent, known to every one who knows the West End of London by night, and its traelit . mn Th en there are the Haymarket Theat re an d the Ita liaB; Opera, and not far distant, before fire consumed i ' C o vent-garden Theatre • and sill Drury lane, rnd th Lyceum, and the Adelphi, and the 1:Iolbor; Casino, a many other places of public amusement, each of which contributes its quota to swell the number of the promo naders of the Haymarket. Of night-honses t cafes, divans, supper-r ooms , and other places of c resort, we say nothing. In th e name o f comm have the Ar g yll Roams been sinjendjuostiticetOthbeena; why obloquy I Were they fOradconed pre judged, andpre , condemn e d ?—f or aga i nst them appears ' p nothing directly but evidence crumbling from its own unreasonableness; and indirectly, consequences, to meke it responsible fee whioh is the consummation of icjustico and absurdity. The effect o f thi s dec,aion must be ruinous to the proprietor, and i t i s greatly to be regretted that the cage which he was prepared to prove before the court, wait not fully shown and proven. It would have sufficed, at any rate, to place his establishment perfectly right in the judgment of the publio, wha's ieverdecision the board may have given on the qaestion of the license. The proof by his books, kept regularly and constantly, that the whole average number of persons vigiting the rooms, both male and female, is 600 nightly, and the proportion of males to females being about ten to one ; this proof, 4upported by the members and officere of the police, eho have been constantly on duty at the rooms, would .lave settled the z ;al of the three inspect:Av. s uper . lidded to this proof, that females of unimpeachable re spectability do visit the place, and we think the inspec tors would have felt ashamed of themselves ; indeed, if the case had been carefully nursed and pertinaciously defended with the materials on hand, and for that pur pose ready in the court, we think they might perhaps have been led to retract and apologise, after the fashion of well-meaning ne-.n, who, having committed an error tnd inje4ice, are prompt and ready to acknowledge and redress it. Recurring briefly to the statute—questions plain enough perhaps to lawyers, but to our apprehension no less complex than apt., force themselves upon the mind. In what sense is a statute, which p!ainly states as the reason for its enactment that it was to withhold tempta tions from the lower sort of people, and ptevent their congregating in disorderly houses, applicable to the Argyll Rooms ? Have the lower sort of people ever frequented that establishment ?—Never. Quite the re verse. It is the resort of great numbers of the higher .ert, and the great majority of its visitors are of the better sort. Clearly law is not reason ; or rather, what night have been both law and reason in 1747, hate in 1857 become gressly at variance with each other. We simply rase .the question, for we have me - , room for present argument, sufficient 'to note the utter inap plicability of the statute to the present case, and to the present daY, Again ; in case `° shall be f or f e it e d , and of violati on o f th e rendi tions of the statute, the license shall be revoked by the justices, &c. See." Suppose none ,of the conditions have le?en violated. What then Suppose, on t'ee contrary, they have been most scrupu lously and emscientiously observed and maintained, so that the licensed place of entertainment gains a high and almost world-wide reputation for the propriety and excellence of its management. Shall it be forfeited and revoked all the same ? Does the statute empower the magistrates to commit so manifest an injustice I To encourage a man during seven consecutive years, trotil, confident in the reputation of his place, confident in the ecrupuleus care he has taken to act up t r the law in its letter and its spirit ; he has gradually expend, d the sum of 30,0001. (which we understand to be the fact) upon his es,,ahhisti,nent ; and then suddenly, Without a Angle cause , r,fuse the license,, render his property valueless, or comparatively so, and turn him upoo the % ee r ie a ruined mart Is this jest*? if it be, Heaven preserve us from the C)urt of Sessious, and the Statute of 1747 1 Na hat means discretion ? By the second clause of the statute the Sessions may "grant such licenses as they in their discretion shall think proper." And what means discretion 7 That they may co as they see fit, one. way or the other, with regard to nothing but their will 1 Certainly not. Discretion means a reasonable, sound, . and just exerci. ei of their judgment. Here has been a perkct observance of the law, a scrupulous regard 'to property, an orderly assemblage of the higher an i better classes for the purpo es of innocent recreation, and a large fortune invested under the long and continuous sanction of the Sessions, and all disregarded. Let the public judge if this be the discretion which the law means—a reasonatls and jest exercise of judgment, not only has the essence of the law been disregarded, but the principle on which the Coast is supposed to act, "never to ii , jure property without good cause," has been cast aside in tA i+ case. Of course, the nu;.: ance of the Haymarket will be act up as the justifica tion; whereas, fur this nuisance, the Argyll Rooms are not, and, before a court of law, could not, b 3 made responsible. In plain truth, the arbitrary powers con ferred by the proviri ins of an absurd law, hostile to the rights and feeling; of Englishmen, have been per verted to the commission of a grave and signal injustice. Why were Crem: roe Gardens licensed ? Why the Holborn Casino ? Why the fifty other places ? It can not be pretended that the Argyll Rooms had less pre tensions to respectability in any particular than any of these. We put these questiens to test the "discretion " of the Sessions in its aiplieation to the Argyll Rooms. In considering this 'vase, we place entire reliance upon the statements o . the proprietor ; and to those who are disposed to do otherwise, we say that great credit is due to him. If, as the iospectrr stated, his eroabliehment has been the nightly resort of from 500 to 700 prostitutes, en 1 be has so entirely succeeded in subjecting such an °nor/lion mass of profligacy to decency, order, and propriety for several hours every evening, in the gay autusement of without in curring a solitary charge of disturbance, istoxica,tion, or impropriety of any de oription, then, we say, he is, in his sphere and station, a talented and beneficial reformer —that he deserves well iy? the public, and is just the roan to be . encouraged and not smitten with ruin. Tnere are many gradations between the two extremes of the highest good and thebwest evils, and he who can stand on tiny one of the multi'udiuousinterrned ate steps and do his share of even comparative good, does well. Prostitution has existed in all ages and in all nations of the world. Harlots hid the spies in Jericho, and lie, front whom many a professor of sanctity woulA do well to take closer pattern, has ncorded his judgment on anott,er, taken in the Toy act. At the mine time, we utterly leny that the Argyilißeems are any more a resort f +r females of this clescriptiou than any other place for (lancing or than any theairs in the tne7ropolis. 'And we also deny that the proprietor is in anywise responsible for their attendance at his rums. Much as the aet of injustice cainmittod at the Sessions is to be deplored, and particularly in reApect to the ruinous and u.deserved weight with which it tails on the owner of the Argyll Rooms, good will grow out of it. Public hynepatby invariably fillows an act df gross and manifest oppression, and suceeels eventually in righting tLe oppre.,sed. Attention will ba directed to the statute of 1747. Tlle magistrates of the Court of See/dons are, for the most part, ignorant of the law, and were created, many of them, to meet the exigencies of the Chartist agitation. The propriety of conferring on these men arbitrary powers unlimited, or limited only by a discretion totally misconceived, will be fully disco sed. Toe great personal interests at the mercy of such a tr:bunal, give to this case an importsnce and prominence which cannot be too seriously considered, and which we feel confident must lead to a change in the law.
