SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Among the many speculative sugges tions offered for Ireland, the public are almost in danger of forgetting those essential conditions of Irish prosperity about which there can be no doubt or speculation at all. Whatever laws, under favourable circumstances, may have a t en d ency t o a d vance t h e interests of that country, it is very clear that nothing will work well, ail will be wasted, and no advance made, unless life and property are secured. Security is the very breath of social existence. We might as well expect a man to exist without sleep, or to breathe freely under the peine forte et dure of an tique barbarity, as that Ireland should thrive and develop itself while its vital organs are crushed by the incubus of terrorism. It is mere mockery for Ministers, and Viceroys, Secretaries, and journalists, to goad on the landowners to duty, to residence, to enterprise, to useful expenditure and personal denial, if all the time we are driving them to the very jaws of the grave. They may reply, they will reply, as they have replied,—" Make our lives our own ; give us back our own property; protect us while we exe cute your orders, and then we will make the attempt." To this there is only one answer. If we choose to put on others the perilous honours of a forlorn hope, we must bestow what protection we can. We protect our colonists from Kafirs and New Zealanders. Wherever we push our advances into the heart of bar barism or the wilderness, we take care to afford such a basis of operation that our hardy outposts may always rely on the Imperial support. It would be folly to neglect these precautions in Ireland. We cannot in reason and honour send the champions of loyalty and order into the thick of the foe, and then leave the two parties to settle it between themselves. It would be a standing disgrace to the nation were it to set the brave and loyal subject "in the forefront of the hot test fight," and then " retire from him that he may be smitten and die." There can be no doubt of a wide-spread conspiracy against the rights and laws of property in Munster, and in other parts of the island. The sudden increase of crime evidences concert. Whatever may be said against the harshness of such a supposition, it is felt to be true by those who are too nearly interested to insist on the rigours of logical inference. "The Irish metropolis," we are told, "was never so full at this period of the year ; every one who has the means at his disposal is flying the rural dis tricts, and seeking for safety in the crowd of the city." Men who have heard their doom whispered long, who have seen the bloody lists of proscription, who find their fellow-victims falling around them, and perceive too clearly that the destruction of agents, process servers, interlopers, improving landlords, and all who offend against the agrarian code, is univer sally acceptable, are not in a position to argue. Self preservation dictates their course. Unless they have frames of iron—unless they will be ever on the watch, and fight night and day for their lives and their properties, they wi 1 fly. Nothing will hold them ; and we should be assuming an awful responsi bility if we should induce them to continue in the field against such fearful odds. It is very possible that they who are immediately and actually implicated in these crimes may be few. It is possible that few have attended the midnight council, given the fatal suffrage, cast the lot of murder, negotiated with the assassin, or struck the very blow. Were it so however, that would neither clear the people of a moral participa tion, nor release the State from the duty of vigorous measures. There is every reason to believe that the mass of the Celtic population in certain districts of Ireland take as much part in the maintenance of a savage code as the minority does in enforcing the law of the land. Judge, jury, sheriff, executioner, and every other rank or shade of officer, constitute alto gether but an insignificant fraction of the people. Yet no one would hesitate to say that in England the execution of the law is the act of society. Grieved as we are to say it, we must say, that in the same sense, a certain lawless and sanguinary system is the combined act of the Celtic population. Major Mahon was murdered on his own estate, among his own people, and only a hundred yards from cottages occupied by his tenants. Three armed murderers had been lying in ambush some time un molested, and unmolested they retired after the bloody deed. The Major had long been known to be a doomed man, and on the fatal morning, we are told, the whole neighbourhood had been in a state of evident commotion, as if with the expecta tion of the horrible event. The same fatal marks of safe audacity, and a previous general presenti ment, characterise almost all the crimes reported. The people are never surprised. The result fulfils not only their ideas of what ought to be, but their actual expectations. Long before the execution the offender has been arraigned, his crime declared, the verdict given, and the sentence pronounced. The motive of fear is hardly enough to account fur so great and universal a concealment as that which secures impunity to the murderer. Further, who could read the addresses lately ,delivered at Holy cross, and compare them with recent events, with out being struck with their evident connexion ? The murder of a hard-hearted landlord, that is of any one whe should not surrender to the present occupier the property of his land, was said to be a less crime than the tyranny it revenged. There is another still more painful sign of general complicity. Major Mahon had been reprobated from the chapel altars the very Sunday before his death, and abused ita tyrant and an oppressor; thus adding one more tistance to hundreds proving the fearful import of priestly denunciation. The Legislature for these two years has dealt hard measures to the landowners, ex posing their estates to waste and their lives to danger. It is now the time to meet an evil more serious even than famine or pestilence. A murderous organization is to be broken and suppressed. We feel very sure that no measures, no powers, will be deni e d th e Minister, if th e y b e only such as will really meet the occasion. It has been the fault of former Coercion Bills that they have been more vexatious than effec tive, and if passed, have rather disfigured the statute book than repressed crime. The evils, however, are now undeniable, and as there exists the most unanimous wish to strengthen the hands of the Executive, it rests entirely with the Minister to say what shall be done. If we may venture to anticipate his course, he will first put in full force all the instruments of executing the law already in the hands of Government. He will take care that localities compromised in crime shall be brought under the eye of the Executive ; and that, when there is reason to ascribe a guilty knowledge, accompanied with a general interest in the perpetra tion of a crime, the accomplices shall gain nothing by its accomplishment. He will then safely ask that a population which combines to resist and neutralize the law shall be mulcted for a time of those constitu tional privileges proper only to the well-affected citizen, and that the law shall be adapted to a state of intentional rebellion. The accomplice, the harbourer, and the concealer should he treated according to their several shares in the crime. We wish, too, that some means could be devised that should make the priest feel that responsibility to human law which he seems in some cases to have forgotten to the Divine. In this island, the least approach to an offensive personal allusion in the mouth of the clergyman subjects him to punishment. Extend the principle to Ireland, where personal allusions are too generally the prelude of death. Let the priest have some share in the re sponsibility of the crime which he has the credit of commanding or foretelling. Whether this be done or ' not, one thing is clear,—England will consent to none but whole and effectual measures. CHRONICLE.—If we have been rather less shocked than some of our contemporarie s on learning the Papal condemnation of the new Irish colleges, it is not that we are at all favourably inclined to the principle of foreign eccle-iastical intervention in our domestic affairs. We quite agree with those who pronounce it an " impertinence' for an Italian eccle siastic, however respectable in personal character or political status, to interfere in such a matter as the I secular instruction of British subjects, on British territory, and under the provisions of a British Act of Parliament. Nor are ice disposed to bate a jot of that ancient national protest, the gist of which is, that Great Britain has the right to manage her own affair s in her own way, and recognises no concurrent o r siadicti on w i thin these realms, in any foreign prince potentat e w h atsoever. At the same time we hardly feel hound to put so very serious a face on the matt er as som e of our n e i g hb ours h ave d one. Of t h e tw ° sagreeabl e one is not, under existing which the business presents, open to British existing circumstances, altogether a kind to criticism,ex and the other is of too fa miliarobnoxious Papal re:CT tany violent emotion. The offensive pie regarded either as an irregular and off r ference by a faossreui pri„ceepiena of political inter gmnption a , nd er as an exhibition of ecclesiastical narrow mindedness. Looking at it in sacerdotaltlf point of vi e w, we really do not see that wuettorrarrecneinerntitled to w t ith Pope say much. We have no right to Pius IX. in his political capacity, or in that c we have not thought proper to recognise him. we had regular diplomatic relations with the el n ec . tiv i e f monarch of central Italy, we should certainly b e entitled to resent so pilpable a breach of interna tional propriety as the attempt to prejudice a sectio n of our own community against an Act of our own Legislature. As, however, we have deemed it wise to know nothing of any such monarch or monarchy, the Papal decree is, to us, nothing more than a sort of private letter, addressed by an eminent foreign divine to the heads of a religious community by whom his opinion is held in peculiarly high esteem. Viewed in this light, it is, of course, a fair subject of criticism; and we need not say that we entirely agree with those who have criticised it unfavourably. We consider the opinion expressed in the document alluded to a very mistaken one, founded on erroneous representations and narrow ideas, and calculated to retard the progress of intellectual and social improve ment. We regret, likewise, to find that a potentate with whom we have so many sympathies and inte rests in common, and whose political character and career are the admiration of Europe, is, after all, as contracted in some of his ways of thinking as any l Archbishop of Canterbury, or representative of Oxford University. It comes upon us as a dis agreeable surprise, that one of the most enlightened rulers of this century is willing to endorse all our British Protestant nonsense about "godless colleges." We are vexed to discover that Rome is so very much like Lambeth, and that Pius IX. thinks exactly what Sir Robert Inglis thinks on one of the greatest social questions of our age. That is all. It is a little disappointing to find that an able and large-minded prince is as weak, on the eccle siastical side of his character, as the British Pro testant prelates and politicians who used to denounce the London University, and who went up in a body to the Throne to record their abhorrence of unsectarian education. Whether this is altogether a reasonable surprise, the reader will judge for himself. At all events, we are not entitled to be very angry with Pepe Pius IX. for adopting the favourite ideas of our own British Protestant bench of bishops. Why, a year or two ago the Pope would have had the Times with him. Our contemporary ought, by the way, to remember this, and be tolerant. How was the Pope to know that "diffusion of knowledge," and " godless colleges," had come to be articles of faith with those by whom they were not long since denounced as something worse than heresies ? 'We are not unaware of the practical inconveni ence that will attend this ill-judged exertion of Papal influence. The late rescript will, of course, aid considerably to the strength of that noisy and not very scrupulous party among the Irish Roman Catholic priesthood, by whom Sir Robert Peel's scheme of academic education has been, from the first, so intemperately opposed. It is now more than ever dubious whether the new colleges will be able fairly to root themselves in the esteem and confidence of the classes for whose benefit they were especially intended. We are sorry for this; but few of our readers will wonder at a result for which we have all along felt it right to prepare them. Heartily as we appreciated the liberal purpose of the Bill of 1845, we never attempted to please ourselves with the expectation that that mea sure would be successful. We said at the time that Sir Robert Peel had begun at the wrong end—that he set about his noble task under the most ill-chosen of conditions—that he neglected invaluable facilities which were ready to his hand, and went out of his way to brave opposition, where he might have counted on quiescence or sympathy. By simply throwing open the honours and emoluments of Trinity College to all Irishmen, irrespectively of creed or sect, the Minister would have at once established on an impregnable basis the principle of unsectarian academic education. No Pope would ever have pronounced against that. No priesthood would ever have agitated against that—though possi bly a portion of the priesthood might have looked with jealousy on so decided a triumph of liberal ideas. That would have been redressing a Roman Catholic grievance, instead of creating one. By thus offering to the educated Roman Catholic laity of Ireland full religious and social equality with their Protestant countrymen, Sir Robert Peel would have silenced op position into neutrality, and warmed up indifference ioto enthusiastic co-operation. We have always deeply regretted that this simple and effectual course was not adopted. We especially deplore that such a potentate as Pope Pius IX. should have contributed so large a share towards realising anticipations which certainly did not rest on the hypothesis of an en lightened and reforming ruler presiding over the counsels of the Vatican. MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 18 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 .60 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 23.75, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4352 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.104; and, the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.12, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The English Funds opened this morning at an im provement of an eighth on the closing prices of yes terday, and a considerable advance subsequently took place, which was maintained up to the termination of business. The first quotation of Consols for money was 832 to a, from which, owing to a succession of purchases by the public, they steadily advanced to 84i- to 1. For the account they began at 831 to 2, and left off at 844 to I. Money for short periods continues to be freely offered in the Stock Exchange at 4 per cent. At the Bank it is understood the de tnand has greatly diminished, and out of doors also the market is much easier. There was a good supply of foreign bills offered on 'Change to-day, which, generally speaking, went off currently at rates rather lower than those of last post. There has been a more quiet feeling in the City to day than has been witnessed for some time, and no failures have been announced either in London or from the country. One house, whose liabilities are believed to be comparatively small, was alleged to have stopped, but we have received a letter from the partners stating that the report arose from a tem porary difficulty, which they hope to arrange in the course of a day or two. _ Advices from Hamburgh received this morning re port the rate of discount 5i to 6, with money some what easier. At Antwerp, at the last dates, the rate was 5 per cent., but the supply was not abundant. The Hamburgh steamer has not brought more than 20,0001. in gold, the Lubeck boat, which was to have left St. Petersburgh on the 30th of October, not having arrived in time at Travemunde. We are glad to state that Meisrs. Bonds and Thomas, whose suspension took place on the 2d of October, have been enabled to resume business. The trade of the house is chiefly with Ceylon, and the character of the firm warranted the hope which has now been realised, that their difficulties might speedily be surmounted. CORONER'S INQUEST.—CHARGE OF MANSLAUGII TER.—Last evening Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the ship, Waterside, Wandsworth, on the body of James Powell, aged 29, who was drowned whilst fighting with a man named Wright, on board a barge lying in the river, off the Silk Mills, Battersea. The examination of the different witnesses occupied a considerable space of time, but the facts of the case are briefly these :—The &ceased and Wright formed a portion of a gang em ployed on board the barge Patience. On Sunday morning some of them went into the Waterman's Arms, where they had some beer, but not sufficient to intoxi cate them. They were taken from thence, at two o'clock in the afternoon, by Davies, the captain, who wanted them to go to work again. On the way to the barge deceased and Wright had some words about which could do the most work, and soon after they had got on board they commenced fighting. The barge is an open one, and the men fought on the gangway board on which they worked to raise the sand. They had several rounds and one or two falls into th e b arge, wh i ch was nearly full' of sand, when the captain insisted upon stopping the fight. The deceased then jumped into the boat and challenged Wright to renew the fight. They accordingly did so ; they closed, and in the struggle fell into the river, and sunk together. Wright rose and was rescued by the captain, but the deceased, whose arm only appeared above the water for a moment and then disappeared, was not found until twenty minutes or half an hour expired, when his body was dragged up by Abraham Baker, a waterman. The witnesses concurred in stating that they considered the falling into the river an accident. The coroner having read the evidence ever, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Wright, upon which he was committed to Horsemonger lane Gaol. The prisoner was then taken away by Mr. Superintendent Bicknell, of the V division. LIB LATE FATAL EXPLOSION or FIREWORKS.-- Mr. W. Payne held an inquest on Monday night, at the Dover Castle, Old Kent-road, on the body of Mrs. Isa bella Bartrope, whose death was occasioned by an ex plosion of fireworks on the sth instant. It appeared that on Friday evening Mr. Huff, foreman of the goods depot of the Brickl a y ers ' Arms terminus of the South-Eastern Railway, was letting off some fireworks in the yard of Mr. Bartrope's house. A quantity of the combustibles were placed in a washhouse near the spot, and on a rocket being discharged which accidentally took a horizontal instead of a perpendicular course, the deceased being frightened took refuge in the washhonse. Some sparks from the rocket, however, were thrown in as the door was opened, and falling on the box containing the fire works, occasioned the melancholy catastrophe. During the inquiry it was elicited that the box in question had been brought up by one of the railway trains, and had remained some time at the station, notwithstanding the regulations of the company, prohibiting the convey ance or reception of such dangerous articles. The jury ulti mately returned a verdict—" That the deceased, Isabella Bartrope, was accidentally burned to death by an ex plosion of fireworks ;" and added, " that they consi dered it was through the loose manner in which the business at the Bricklayers' Arms station is done, ane they also considered that great blame is attached to the directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company in not giving sufficient and proper instructions to their ser vants."

S tY LONDON, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER, Nov. 9. Mr. Baron ROLFE sat in the Exchequer Chamber for the purpose of taking motions. STEVENS V. KEELING. Mr. CROWDER now moved to set aside the verdict, pursuant to leave reserved at the trial. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 9. (Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice Wilde, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Justice Cresswell.) BARON DE BODE V. REG. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to set aside a writ of error brought by the late Baron de Bode. The Learned Counsel contended that the present plaintiff, being administrator to the late plaintiff in error, could not carry on the proceedings under that writ, that it was not competent for him to do so except upon a writ of scire facias, and that such writ could not be obtained except upon the fiat previously obtained from the Attorney-General, or that without obtain ing this fiat from the Attorney-General the only course left open to the plaintiff would be to apply to the House of Lords. The COURT granted the order. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 9. (Sittings in Banco.) JOLL V. DOWNES. In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Williams at the last sittings after Trinity Term, and a verdict found for the plaintiff for 2001., Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the bulk of the evidence. The action was brought to recover the amount due to the plaintiff, who is an engineer, for work done in surveying and mapping a projected line of railway, called the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, of which the defendant was a director. The principal point upon which he founded his application was with re ference to the mode in which the plaintiff's charges were to be liquidated. It was proved at the trial by the solicitor to the company that the plaintiff agreed to make the survey on the understanding that he was to be paid out of the deposits received, and not to look to the directors for payment. The COURT granted a rule. The LORD MAYOR—Shortly after half-past two o'clock, a procession, headed by the Mace-bearer and Sword-bearer, and consisting of the Lord Mayor Elect, the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and several members of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council entered the court, and after bowing to the Bench, the Recorder advanced and, addressing their Lordships, said—l am desired, by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the City of London, to request the honour of your Lordships' company at an entertainment to be given this day at the Guildhall in the City. Their Lordships then bowed, and the procession immediately retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The mayoralty of Sir George Carroll, which has been distinguished by great activity, zeal, and punc tuality, closed with his Lordship's adjudication on some cases connected with the desertion of seamen at foreign ports, a subject frequently brought before the Chief Magistrate's notice under the new Registration Act, the operation of which is said to be producing great advantage to the owners of ships. His Lord ship also took the opportunity of making from to the foreign l o tt er i es , w i t h so li c i tat i ons from the agents or pretended agents of which the English, Irish, and Scotch public have been for a considerable time harassed ; and to the conduct of the City police during his year of office. John Wood, a seaman, was charged by Mr. Cole man, clerk to the Registrar of Seamen, with having deserted the Boyne, at Baltimore, in May, 1847, having signed articles in London for the voyage to North America and back, at the usual rate of wages, viz., 3/. per month. Mr. Phillipps, of the firm of Phillipps and Tip lady, owner of the Boyne, produced the ship's arti cles, on which were endorsed the particulars of the desertion of Wood at Baltimore, by the British Con sul there. The prisoner was committed for thi r ty d ays . I John William Rose was charged by Mr. Coleman with having deserted the Sherwood, in London, having received W. in advance of wages, intended by the owners to be laid out in the purchase of the necessary clothes, &c., for the voyage, but which was expended, as usual amongst fellows of vagabond propensities, in dissipation of the grossest kind, the prisoner having been too drunk to join the vessel when she was leaving dock. The prisoner said that all that had been said against him was true enough. He was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment. John Mudge was convicted of desertion from the Acadia, at Pugwash, upon the evidence of Mr. Cole man, confirmed by that of Mr. Walton, of Newman's court, the owner of the vessel. Mr. Coleman, upon the part of the Registrar- General of Seamen in the port of London, begged to thank his Lordship for the very prompt and efficient adjudication rendered during the mayoralty in the numerous cases brought under his Lordship's notice. He trusted that the extra duties thus imposed upon the Chief Magistrate of the City would prove but tem porary. He believed that such would be the result of the vigorous measures adopted by his Lordship, who had, since the Act came into operation, some months ago, disposed of 380 cases in such a manner as would produce a powerful effect upon the service. The LORD MAYOR said he regretted that his expe rience of seamen since his accession to the office of Lord Mayor was such as to give him a very unfa vourable opinion of the state of honourable feeling amongst them. He had found that they were in the habit of signing articles in London at the usual rate of wages at the port, which articles, upon their arrival at foreign ports where wages were high, they did not hesitate to violate, to the serious injury of the shipowners in England, from whom they were both before and afterwards glad to seek employment. lie trusted that his honourable successor in the office _ e the would embrace e ve ry o pp or t un it y o f carry i ng out t h e Q b e r ebe w e h t h e the provisio ns o f t h e A ct of Parl i ament in which the meet i ntroduction thatvigilance of o d f es t e h r e tio A n Act er p e ass w ed oul a d t tend to s u p press a system so injurious t ipping interest.o the sh The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved in this case for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the order to have this case tried by a special jury should not be set aside and a fresh order made. The cause was appointed to be tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and it appeared that upon calling the special jurors only five of them were present, and the defendant would not consent to have the case tried by that number. It was the usual custom in such cases that upon a fresh appoint ment being made for the trial, the same special jurors who were previously summoned should constitute the jury, but since the period of their being first sum moned it had been ascertained that several of them had died, and some were excused upon various grounds. Under these circumstances, therefore, it was necessary that the original rule should be set aside, and a fresh order made by the Court upon the subject.—Rule granted. (Sittings in Banco.) WALLER V. BISHOP. This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at London ; the verdict passed for the plaintiff, for the sum of 3,9251. 17s. 3d. It appeared that the action was brought by the plaintiff, a stockbroker, to recover the above sum of money, being the amount of certain shares purchased by the plaintiff for the defendant in the projected Dutch Hanoverian Railway, and also for charges on account of the shares being " held over" for him, that is to say, the account days, when the purchase should be completed, were carried over on brokerage and com mission, the amount of which was about 1,4001. It was alleged that the plaintiff was connected with the above-named projected railway, being a member of the provisional committee of that scheme. It further appeared that there was an intention on the part of the directors of that company to purchase a considerable number of shares for the purpose of reducing the number then in the market, the currency of which would bring what was then thought to be a good project to an unde served failure. This process was one technically termed "rigging the market," and the Lord Chief Baron upon the trial expressed a strong opinion that, "when carried to a great extent, might be regarded as a swindling transaction." In this case, however, the arrangement appeared to be suggested by an honour able desire to prevent the effect of a great panic, and the shares falling to a ruinous discount. An ar rangement was come to by the directors to carry out their views, whereby each director should employ his own broker, and make his purchases individually ; and a resolution was passed by the board, on the 3d of December, to prevent any of the directors being bound by the purchases of the other, except in such cases as should be agreed upon by the whole body of the directors. The pre sent action arose out of purchases of shares in con sequence of that arrangement, and the evidence on the part of the plaintiff consisted chiefly of a variety of "bought notes," and orders given by a Mr. Caryalho and a Mr. Ogle, who were connected with the company. The Learned Counsel now con tended that there was no evidence to fix the defendant with the orders in question, and that all that made against him upon the trial was a recognition subse quently, as distinguished from order previously. The COURT stated that they were of opinion that the rule ought to be granted generally, for the reduction of the damages, or a new trial, with liberty to move afterwards for arrest of judgment. E E 1 4 ? 1 rt NOVEMBER 10, 1847. The LORD MAYOR said he had, since the humbug ging advertisements of persons, who called themselves agents for foreign lotteries had been last exposed in the press, received letters from correspondents in various parts of the kingdom complaining of the per severance of the vendors of the enormous German prizes with the enumeration of which attempts were so constantly made to gull the English public. The following is one of the communications he had received : " Marlcwes, Hemel Hempstead, Nov. 5. "My Lord,—l would not intrude myself upon your notice save to expose the extraordinary adver tisement inclosed (which has been forwarded to my present abode), a similar one to which I received some time ago—(the letter inclosed a form of appli cation for shares in the Imperial Royal Austrian Loan and the Electoral Hessian State Loan-offices in Lon don.) Doubtless others, though living under a Go vernment where lotteries have been for years abolished by law, have like appeals made to their credulity. The parties issuing these notices must conceive my countrymen to be very weak to seriously listen to such statements ' • but the recent disclosure reported in the Times, ma de by an Irish peer through your medium, is a proof that many are led away by this system of polite robbery. " If the publicity of this be of any use it is at your Lordship's service.—l am, my Lord, your humble and obedient servant, " J. J. SMITH." The LORD MAYOR said he felt much gratification in being able to state, upon leaving the office of Chief Magistrate, that multitudes of individuals had expressed to him their warmest acknowledgments for having prevented them, by the manner in which he had denounced the speculations of foreign lottery agents, from engaging in enterprises likely to be productive of some loss, and of great disappointment and chagrin, He confessed he was surprised to find that persons who called themselves agents of those foreign lotteries invited the public to purchase shares at offices in London, notwithstanding the long-ex isting prohibition of English lotteries, the existence of which would not be more strongly calculated to do mischief to the community than the unchecked progress of these foreign loose modes of " raising the wind." His Lordship thought it necessary, upon leaving the chair, to state that he felt the highest satisfaction in expressing his opinion that the City police had acted all through his year of office with zeal, ability, and skill, and that many of the men had much distinguished themselves by their extraor dinary efforts to break up the gangs of thieves with which the metropolis was crowded. To the conduc tors of the press his Lordship declared he was deeply indebted for the powerful assistance they had ren dered him in his attempts to frustrate the views of the swindling community, which had suffered con siderable diminution through such means. WORSHIP-STREET. Henry Moss and Walter Burke, described as horse dealers, were placed at the bar for final examination, charged upon suspicion of having stolen a bay horse, value thirty guineas, the property of Mr. William Heales, a cab proprietor in Gloucester-street, Fins bury. Upon entering his stable at the latter end of last week the prosecutor discovered that the horse in question, which with another he had left safe there in the morning, had been stolen, and upon making in quiries he was informed by a woman living in a house nearly adjoining that, while looking out of her window in search of her son, she observed a short man enter the stable about two o'clock in the day, and shortly after return with one of the horses, which he led away with a halter, but, not suspecting a ro bb ery h a d b een committed, she did not particularly notice the thief. Information was thereupo'n given to the police, and Sergeant Brannan, of the G. division, succeeded the next morn i ng i n tracing the an i ma l to the possession of another cab proprietor, named Green, in some mews near Dorset square, who stated, upon questioning him, that he had purchased it of the prisoner Burke in Smithfield market, for 61. 10s., at a time which must have been only half an hour after it had been stolen. The man Burke, who was then in his company, did not deny the sale, and accounted for his possession of the horse by stating that he had purchased it for 51. 10s. of the other prisoner, Moss, who resided at Bexley-heath, just before he had sold it to Green, The sergeant accordingly proceeded to Bexley-heath where, after some trouble, he found out Moss, who told him that he had bought the animal for 4/., also in Smithfield market, of a lad who brought it there with the halter, it appeared, it still had on, and which boy was an entire stranger to him. Moss was thereupon taken into custody, and, upon his return to town, Burke was taken also. A married woman, named Anne Tremayne, and her son, George Tremayne, proved that the horse bad been stolen in the manner before described, but neither could positively swear to the prisoners, though the man who stole it was obout the height and ap pearance of the shortest of them. Mr. Green, the last purchaser, declared that the real value of the animal was much under the estimate formed by the prosecutor, or he should not havegiven the price for it he had, and said that he bought it with perfect confidence in the honesty of the prisoner Burke, whom he had known for many years, and had st magistrategN ve who o hwhohad d a a t p i npcseotarnruseieddt considerable li the eml et p no r g i mt s h o a n ki pries, sbm, behalf not the slightest idea th a t h e was engage d i n any other than a regular b us i ness transact i on. t od h fr e eMhis s ssre a .d m clii e tiehen d er e ti fence to the bench that they had already made to the officer, and contended that the evidence adduced was wholly insufficient to justify the case being sent before a jury; but Mr. HAMMILL expressed himself as being of a con trary opinion, and ordered both prisoners to be fully committed to Newgate for trial. CLERKENWELL. Jonathan Starling, aged sixteen, was charged with cruelty to a horse. mr. John Stephenson, a gentleman res idi ng i nw Camden-town, deposed th a t h e saw the • prisoner driving a horse and cart near the Brecknock Arms, and the animal was covered with sores, and the blood was from its neck, an d f rom t h at part under collar—andthe it from Enfield. Hi s poor animal was evi dently in the greatest to r t ure. On questioning the prisoner, h he literallyt hsaid he running e h drivena d master told him if he was s t opped with it, he (the pri soner) would not be punished ; they would only take the horse. Witness gave him into custody, and the horse and cart were taken possession of, and were then at the back of the court. The prisoner, in his defence, said he knew the horse was in the state described when he took it out, but his master said he would not be hurt if he was stopped with it ; they would only take the horse. Mr. TYRWHITT—Pray who and what is your master ? Prisoner—He is a higgler living at the King's Arms, Enfield. Mr. TYRWHITT (indignantly) —Your conduct is detestable, you are as bad as your master, and I will teach you that poor animals were sent here for man's use and not his abuse. It is persons of your class that grow up in crim e o f the worst description. You begin with cruelty towards dumb animals, and then you become reckless as to committing acts of cruelty and probably come to the gallows. As long as I sit here I am determined to check such acts of cruelty by inflicting the severest penalty of the law. None but cowardly fellows would be guilty of such conduct; they will ill-use a poor dumb crea ture, and run away like cowards if they themselves are attacked. On such a person as yourself I have no doubt that anything I can say will have no effect ; I hope it may, and to convince you that you shall not be guilty of such horrid cruelty in future with impunity I convict you in the penalty of 20s. or ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner was committed to prison in default of payment, and the horse and cart were detained. THAMES. Mr. John Berwick Whitby, aged 50, a woolstapler, who gave his address, 16, Manning-lane, Bradford, Yorkshire, was charged with stealing a quantity of wool from the St. Katherine Dock. The prisoner, who is very respectably connected, had been frequently seen in the wool warehouse in the St. Katherine Dock, and his manner had recently given rise to suspicion. On Monday he was again seen there by Mr. Broadley, the deputy warehous keeper. There were nearly 2,000 bales of wool open and for show. Mr. Broadley observed that the prisoner's pockets looked very bulky, and when he left the warehouse followed him, and gave information to a constable named Worley, who stopped the prisoner just before three o'clock at the principal entrance of the dock, and asked him what he had got about him, to which he replied, " nothing particular." Worley took him into the lodge, and again repeated his inquiry. The prisoner said he had a little wool about him, and took some out of his coa t poc k et very s lowly, and suddenly dis continued doing so. Worley was not satisfied, and took som e more out of his pockets, and on taking off his hat wool was found stuffed into it. The prisoner was asked how he came by the wool ? and he said that he had been purchasing many bales in the ware house ; and on the officer informing him that the regular practice was to o btain a pass for any samples brought out of the warehouse, the prisoner said he had not got one. Worley then left the prisoner in the lodge while he proceeded to communicate with Mumford, the superintendent of the St. Katherine dock police, and on his return s a w the p ris oner taking w oo l out of his pockets and throwing it on the fire. Worley took the wool out of the fire and extinguished the flames with his feet. In answer to questions put to him by Mumford, the prisoner said he obtained the wool taken from him, weigh ing 2ilb., from six bales in the wool floor, but sub sequently made another statement—that he obtained some of the wool from Brown's warehouse, and the remainder from the London Dock, and gave his address _491, Trinity-square. Oa his way to the station-house with Nicoll, a police-constable, 99 H, he told the policeman he had no occasion to lead him, and that he was not afraid of the case; and upon reflching the station gave his address 16, Manning lane, Bradford, and said that he had been in London only a few weeks. On the same evening, in conse quence of what a sailor said in the Police-court on Monday, Nicoll went to 4, Harrod's-place, Well close-square, where the prisoner rented an apartment, and where he found lOilb. of wool. Mr. Broadley said he had no doubt the wool had been collected from various bales in the warehouse. It was of various qualities. The prisoner in defence said, he took the wool found upon him into the London Dock, after he had been to the different warehouses and taken samples from various parcels. He went to the wool ware house in the St. Katherine Dock. He was a respect able man, and had been in the wool trade since he was born, he might say. A tradesman spoke in high terms of the prisoner, and had never known him otherwise than as a respect able man. Mr. YARDLEY said, the evidence, which was very conclusive, left him no alternative but to commit the prisoner for trial for stealing the wool. LAMBETH. Mr. Edward Good, an extensive farmer and cow keeper at Peckham, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer a charge of assault, with intent, &c. Elizabeth Lloyd, a tall young woman, whose ap pearance was very plain and unprepossessing, deposed that she lived as servant to Mr. Clark, a single gen tleman, residing at 18, Camden-place, Southampton street, Peckham, and knew the defendant, Mr. Good, from his serving her master with milk. On Wednes day last, the 3d inst., at about three o'clock in the afternoon, she answered a knock at the door, and on opening it, Mr. Good, who stood outside, immedi ately came into the passage. The moment he did so he caught hold of her and began to kiss her, upon which she tried to get away, but he with much vio lence threw her down in the hall and endeavoured to effect his purpose, but she ultimately, and by great exertions, got away from him, and ran into the kitchen. The defendant followed her there, but did not proceed to further violence, and ultimately left the house. In reply to questions by the magistrate, the witness said, that when attacked she cried out as loud as she could, but there being no person but herself and the defendant in the house at the time, and no person, as she supposed, hearing her on the outside, no one came to her assistance. She had not on a former occasion permitted or encouraged the slightest liberties or freedom. •On the evening in question she told him she should inform her master of his conduct the in stant he came home ; and she did so. Cross-examined by Mr. Games—Had known Mr. Good for upwards of twelve months, but had never asked his ad v i ce as to w h at she should do about some delicate matters between herself and her master. The defendant was in the habit of asking her if she did not sleep with her master? and in reply, but in joke, she used to say, " Oh yes, it's all right."—(Laughter.) She did not tap at the window on the day in question for Mr. Good to come in, nor did she say when she opened the door, " I'm glad you are come, for I wanted to tell you that I am quite com fortable with the little fellow again." After commit ting the outrage she had described up stairs, the de fendant followed her to the kitchen, and stopped there about 20 minutes before going away. When he went into the kitchen she was ironing some clothes, and she complained of a violent headache which he had caused her, upon which he told her to wash her face and she would be all right. When the defendant en tered the house there was a gardener at work, mowing 4 plot of grass close by, but he did not hear her calls for assistance. This, however, she attributed to his being very deaf. - Mr. ELLIOTT said that the case was one which, in his opinion, should go before a j u ry, an d h e s h ou ld there fore send it to the sessions. On the application of Mr. Games, bail wasaccepted WESTMINSTER. Ellen Mottram and Jane Mee, two women of the town, were brought up for re-examination, charged with drugging and robbing a gentleman named Sett combe of his gold watch and some money. The particulars of the previous examination were fully detailed in The Sun of Wednesday last. Ac cording to the statement made by the prisoner Mot tram to a corporal of the Grenadier Guards, the prisoners met the gentleman near the National Gal lery, and took him to their abode in Westminster, where they drugged and robbed him. On its being inquired yesterday whether there was any further evidence against the prisoners, Mr. Land, an inspector of the A division, said that he had seen Mrs. Seacombe, who informed him that her husband had been very ill since the drug had been administered to him, but he appeared to be getting gradually better until Tuesday, when he read an account of the examination of the prisoners on this charge, shortly after which he fell into a state of madness, and was at the present moment the in mate of a lunatic asylum. Mr. BRODERIP said, he should remand the priso ners for another week. It was a most diabolical case. Not only was the unfortunate gentleman plundered, but perhaps himself and family ruined for ever through the vile usage resorted to the better to accomplish the robbery. He should give the very fullest opportunity to complete the case against the prisoners. They were then remanded. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 5, 1847.

An alarming fire broke out yesterday evening, be. ween eight and nine o'clock, on the premises of Messrs. Hudson, marine-store-dealers, New-road. The precise origin of the fire we have not been able to ascertain, but the warehouses being filled with highly combustible materials, such as rags, oakum, and tarred rope, the conflagration soon assumed a formidable appearance, and the reflection of the light was visible from all part s o f th e town. It being the fair time, a g r e at num b er o f p ersons were in the streets, particularly in the neighbourhood of the gaol and Carliol-square, where the fair is held, and on ob serving the glare they started off simultaneously in the direction of the fire. Parties were attracted from other places, and every street leading to the spot was soon thronged with people hastening towards the scene. Our reporter reached the place just before the roof of the building fell in, and none of the en gines had then arrived, so rapid had been the progress of the devouring element. Fortunately, the warehouse, which had been formerly a brewery, was detached from the other buildings, by which, indeed, it was almost sur rounded, so that the wind, which blew sharply, had comparatively little effect in causing the flames to extend. To this may be attributed the safety of the im mediately behind pr o p er ty. Th e w arehouse was behind Gibson-street, in the angle of the houses forming that street and the New-road, and was ap proached on the rear by Bedford-street, where the North Briti s h eng i ne , on its arrival, was stationed, two of the Newcastle engines having previously taken up a position in the front. The fire had, however, by this time exhausted its fury; the roof and all the floors had fallen ; and the materials were blazing within the ruined walls of the building like an immense bonfire. The streams of water, which were thrown upon it a ft er the engines b egan t o p l a y, so on dispelled all danger of its proceeding further, though the embers continued burning for some hours afterwards. The consterna tion created in the immediate neighbourhood of the conflagration was great, and many parties hastily removed their furniture, throwing it out of the windows, while thieves and pickpockets, who swarm at fairs, followed their occupation with extraordinary assiduity. Notwithstanding the immense crowd of persons assembled, the great es t d egree o f order pre vailed, owing to the promptitude and activity of the police, who were directed by Mr. Stephens in person, and who, by judicious regulations, prevented that wanton destruction of p roperty w hi c h would other wise have taken place during the panic that prevailed among the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The fire was extremely rapid in its progress ; but it was fortunately confined t o th e b u il d i ng in which it ori ginated, which is, however, entirely destroyed, toge ther with the stock it contained, the gables and a portion of the side walls being all that remain. The supply of water was insufficient, and some was pro cured from a pond in the vicinity. The injury will amount to some thousands of pounds, which, it is understood, is partially covered by insurance in one of the Scottish offices.—Newcastle.fournal of Saturday ASHTON.-- THE GENERAL TURN-OUT. - There appears no probability of this turn-out coming to a ter mination, notwithstanding it is pauperizing the town. Yesterday morning the whole of the mills remained closed, none of the masters appearing at all anxious to give the operatives a chance of resuming work, were they inclined to go in. The spinners appointed a depu tation to wait upon the mayor, Joseph Fletcher, Esq., with a requisition from the inhabitant householders, on Saturday, praying him to convene a meeting in the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted under the present unfortu nate differences which exist between the employers and the employed. The mayor having refused to accede to the requisition, the requisitionists have called it on their own account. Such is the state of distress in this town and neighbourhood, owing to the strike now existing, that the parish office is crowded from morning to night. —Liverpool Mercury. THE NEW DEEMSTER FOR THE NORTHERN Dis ' TRICT OF THE ISLE OF MAN.—W. L Drinkwater, Esq., barrister, of the Northern Circuit, and well known in this town, has been appointed deemster, or judge, of the northern division of the Isle of Man, vacant by the re signation of John Christian, Esq. The Manx Sun of Saturday says, " The members of the Manx bar feel so much disatisfied at the late appointment of deemster to the northern district of the island, in the room of 1)e ulster Christian, retired, that they have got up a pe tition or protest to the Home-office against ithe said ap pointment."—Liverpool Albion.
