SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) Qualls ab incepto may be the motto of the Newspaper Ministry, the loss of which is no loss to the honour of France, whatever a portion of the press may say, but 'h e existence of which was certainly a continued danger, and az actual detriment, to that honour, so far as it de ,•endtlEl on consistent language and conduct in the official sepresentatives of France towards the rest of the world. M. Thiers evidently laboured under the frequent de lusion of clever men, who imagine they can be all to all men, and that they can make all men take their counters for coin. M. Thirsts thought be could p 7 ey up on all the Powers of Europe and gain time, while _ they remained passive under his pretence of negoti ation. Out of that policy came the Treaty of the 15th July. M. Thiers appears to have remained con sistent with that policy to the last, if we may attach c-edit (as, we believe, we may) to the accounts which we give in another part of e:tr paper, of the part ish:ch M. Walewsky has been instructed to play with Mehemet Ali. This consistency is, however, the consist ency. of inconsistency—the effect of the inveterate f playing fast and loose with all parties. It did not tae on the Powers of Europe, who saw its duplicity. A cannot well have imposed on Mehemet Ala who must ive felt how completely M. niers made a cats.paw of tem, and left him to burn his wen fingers. It imposed r a while on the French eress, and the restleis portion of the French public; but it has now ceased to impose them—the bubble has burst. (From the Standard.) The Morning _Herald (ti hick has been extremely well • iterated, throughout, of the negotiations upon the Eastern aestion, and has generally given the earliest information, teough with a little bias, of which we do not altogether approve), this morning gives an abstract of the note corn reemicared by Lord Granville to M. Guizot. The Vine of the paper thus described, and the terms which it proposes, appear, from the Herald's abstract, to be perfectly proper. Lord Palmerston explains—what it must have been hardly necessary to exp'ain, except from considerations of courtesy—that his Lordship's note of November 2, which had excited so much uneasiness in France, was addressed to the former, not to the present, French Cabinet—and that its language and arguments were directed against the style assumed by M. Thiers, not against what might be expected from the ad ministration of Marshal Soult and M. Guizot. It is well that the French people, at least as many of them as desire the continuance of peace, should reflect upon this, all inconsiderable as it may seem to shallow observers. An insolent manner will often, we may say always, go farther to inter rupt friendly relations, or to impede reconciliation, than the most serious difference in opinions or in wishes. France clearly owes the preservation of peace, and the maintenance of her position in Europe as the effect of the preservation of peace, to the late change. Of course the cla3s of Frenchmen who love war better than they love their country will not be pleased at this result of the King's policy, but their number is, we hope, incon siderable. While thus obviating all difficulties that could arise from the manner of the negotiations hitherto, Lord Palmerston firmly adheres to the terms of the treaty of July, as affording a rule from which he cannot deviate; intimating farther that Mehemet Ali will hazard his possession of Egypt by persevering in rebellion. This is right : the old rebel must not be allowed to play the safe game that he would if Egypt were guaranteed to him, and those possessions only put in peril to which he never had any pretence of title. (From the Courier.) This morning we have received three days' supplies of Paris papers—.viz., those of Friday, Saturday, and Sun d ty. They communicate a few facts, the political ten dency of which is of aR important character, but their contents for the most part deserve no particular atten tion. There is a good deal of mystification in these journals on the subject of a fresh note addressed by Lord Palmerston to M. Guizot upon the affairs of the East. According to the Moniteur, this note is of a mare conciliatory 'character" than that of the last -bich emanated from his Lordship. The information given by the French Papers upon the subject is so vague that we are not astonished they should have formed an imperfect idea of the quality of this document. The Morning Herald, however, has enabled the Brit'sh pub lic to form a much cle.rer conception of its true charac ter; for, as will be seen by the article from that paper, copied into another column, the French must have em ployed even more than the full extent of the sagacity to which they lay claim if they really found in it anything of a peculiarly amicable complexion. The fact is, that the one adopted towards Mehemet Ali is as dictatorial and .cremptory as it well could be. A considerable ortion of the contents of these papers is devoted to corn earieons between M. ,Guizot and M. Thiers, particu -1 sly those of Friday, the speech of M. Guizot in the Chamber of Peers having afforded an excellent opportu e;ty for reviving exciting topics. We select a brief com e ,ntary made upon this document by three of these ,eurnals. The Constitutionnel observes, that "if France admits his doctrines on the subject of alliances, it is out f the question that she can preserve a single ally, (according to it) the obligation to assist a friendly ration ceases the moment that the assistance promised l,eeemes efficacious." "M. Guizot's principle is to interfere up to the moment of danger only." The Commerce, on the other hand, observes, that if M. Guizot confined himself to abandon our allies, it might be supposed that the maxim Every one for him self' constituted the foundation of his doctrine ; but," adds that journal, " it is not only the cause of our ally he now deserts, but our own interests and our own cause. M. Guizot has added a corollary to the maxim—' Every one for himself,'—' and the foreigners in our country.' " The Univers contends, that " England, being desirous to annihilate the Pacha of Egypt, in order to destroy the influence of France in the East, M. Guizot was not jus tified in asserting that the Treaty of London was not a co alition against France." Although the remarks just quoted do not exhibit anyt hi ng lik e a tone of congratu lation upon the speech of M. Guizot, yet, we find, upon the whole it had a very good effect in Paris, and the con. fidence in the continuance of peace was stronger than ever. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 24. THE NULL AND SELBY RAILWAY. Sir WM. FOLLETT said in this case a rule had been ob tained for a writ of certiorari to bring up the informations taken before the Coroner, with a view to their being quashed. The case was one of those accidents which had lately occu rre d , and he must observe that if any power was given to Coroner's juries to punish in case of accident, there should be some mode of regulating the proceedings. He bed several objections to make to the verdict. In the first place the jury bad found only one gene ral verdict on view of three bodies of persons who had been killed, although the cause of death in each of the three cases might be altogether distinct. The inquisition could not be taken upon the three together. In the next place, the deodand of 500/. was general, although Rt might apply to one d eat h, an d not to t h e ot h ers—they .Iving found that the steam-engine and the railway car.. , i-73 were moving to the deaths of the parties, and levied a rieoiand of 500/ Anwher objection was, that where the Inquest Jury only affixed their marks, these marks should .e attsted, which had not been done in the present case. Aaother objection was, that in the statement of the cause of the death, it was said that they had bean ocea st.an:d by the filling of a large mass of iron off the car riages, by whioh the carriages bad been overturned, and, filling upon the parties, had occasioned their deaths. New, although the carriages were there distinctly alleged to h.) the cause of the deaths, the deodand bad been levied t.pon the steam-engine. Lord DEN M interrupted the Learned Conusel by ob serving, that it would be better to have the case put into the Crown paper, when the arguments would come fully before the Court. THE QUEEN V. HUDSON. In this ease a rule had been obtained for a quo werranto, upon the defendant to show by what authority he .aimed to be a councillor of the borough of Totnes, he ,t being entitled to be on the burgess roll, and not being oily rated to premises in the borough. The COURT, after hearing the arguments of Mr. Erie r erainst the application, discharged the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF SALOP. In this case a rule had been obtained for a mandamus Virg upon the Justices of Salon to show came why they .! - ould not hear an appeal against en order for the removal of William Griffin. Mary, his wife, and foir children, and cause the next General Quarter Sessions to hear and determine such appeal. Sir F. PoLLocx now appeared to show cause against the rule. The single question which their Lordships would have to determine was whether the Crown having granted a Court of Quarter Sessions with a separate jurisdiction to the town of Shrewsbury, an appeal might be carried to the Quart: r Sessions of the county and not to the Quarter Sessions of the town. The Learned Cl having re furred to th e terms of the 11th section of ounse the Municipal Corporation Act by which the jurisdiction of the boroughs was established, The COURT did not think that the case came within the terms of the 11th section of the Act. At all events there was doubt enough to warrant them in granting the rule.—. Rule absolute. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF BERKSHIRE. The AT CORNEY GF.NERAL moved in this case for rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to bring up an order of the Justices at PorytaZseticeass the Quarter Sessions with a view to its being quashed. was one of extreme im The question regarded the jurisdiction of Borough and C ount licenses. By the 9th Geo.

CANNINOTON on the other side having assented, the rule was made absolute. LEN'S BENCH GUILDM4LL, Nuv. 24 . Before Mr. Ju s ti ce PArrEsom and a Common Jury.) The greater part of the day was occupied in hearing undefended cases, founded upon claims on bills of ex change, none of which possessed the slightest public in. t rest. HACON O. DEACON. In t hi s ease which was au action brought for the re covery of the sum of 671. 3s. 6d., for work and labour done, and materials supplied, Mr. Hall read an affidavit from the defendant's attorney, to cause the trial to be postponed. Mr. Justice PATTESOI4---It does not appear to me that the grounds mentioned in the affidavit, and requir ing the postponement of the trial, rest on the merits of the case ; and, therefore, in accordance with the ruse I havn laid down, I shall decline postponing it. Mr. HALL—Under these circumstances, my Lord, I am without a defence, and do not mean to be seen in the ease. . 111 r. Justice PATTESON—WeII, I shall shut my eyes, and not see you.—(A laugh.) Mr. C. JONES then proceeded to state the case for the plaintiff, who was a builder in Newington, and exe cuted work to the amount sought to be recovered for the defendant, a leatherseller, residing in the same place. Evidence having been adduced, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, in the full amount claimed. The Court then adjourned to the 11th December. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 24. RODEN AND OTHERS V. WOOD. The defendant in this case being in the custody of the Warden of the Fleet prison, under an attachment for contempt, applied to have the rule under which he is in custody discharged, on the ground that the plain tiff ought to have filed interrogatories, and that the rub was informal. He said he could not make the ac counts required of him whilst he was in prison. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the charge against him was, that he had received large sums of money be longing to others, and the only way to get out of his difficulty was to give in his accounts. Application refused. The Court sat till six o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, NJ v. 24. (Sittings in Banco.) HARRISON V. WARNFORD. SIR F. Pot-Lock moved for a rule nisi, to set aside the execution which had issued in this case, on the ground of collusion. Tho plaintiff bad been a servant of the West Cork Mining Company, of which the de fendant had been a director. The Court were much dissatisfied with the conduct of the Directors, they accordingly applied to Parliament, and obtained an Act giving the shareholders power to discharge them. In 1838 a general meeting of the shareholders was called, bcfcre the holding of which the defendant transferred one of his shares to another party, by which act he disqualified himself for the Direction—it being necessary fora Director to hold fiftc,n shares. Of this the plaintiff was perfectly aware, yet in January 1839, he commenced an action against the defendant as a Director. The action was set down for trial on the 7th November, and it was not till the 6th of that month that information of the fact was given to the Solicitors of the Company, nor was any defence made by defendant, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 621 damages. __ . Mr, Baron GURNEY—Was it in 1839 or 1840 ? Sir F. Pou.ocx.—lt was in 1839, and he might as well explain why there had been so much delay. When the verdict passed, the Company were advised that their remedy was in a Court of Equity; they therefore made application to the Court of Chancery ; but, upon hear ing the case, the Vice-Chancellor referred the parties to the common law. It was unde r those circumstances that he now applied for a rule to set aside the execution. —Rule nisi granted. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. JONES. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule to show cause why the trial of this information, which was fixed for the 28th instant, should not be stayed till the sittings after next term, on the ground of the absence of two material witnesses. The information contained no less than 105 counts, but the main charge in all was that the defendant had illegally removed certain goods without payment of the cus toms. The notice was given on the 2d inst. ; the defendant was then in Paris ; he immediately came borne, and had ever since been looking for two witnesses, without whose evi dence he could net safely proceed to trial, but as yet he had been unsuccessful. He had not come to the Court to the last moment, because he might have been answered by the Court, saying he might meet with the witnesses to-mor row. • The COURT granted a rule nisi.—Cause to be shown to morrow. CASEY U, TOMLIN. Mr. ERLE and Mr. HUMPHREY showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Butt, calling upon the plaintiff to show why he should not be dispauperised. The plaintiff commenced an action, and sued in forma pauperis. The defendant paid a sum of money into Court, which the plaintiff took out, but still proceeded with his action for the larger sum. The Learned Gentlemen contended that a person being once admitted to sue in forma pauperis could not be dispauperised during the progress of the suit. Mr. 131"TT supported the rule, and .. , The Coußr said the rule must be made absolute. The plaintiff having taken the money out of Court was no l onger a pauper, and if he chose to proceed for the larger sum, the defendant had a right to have some security for his costs.— Rule absulute. SHERIFF'S COURT, Nor. 24. MESSRS. WRIGHT'S BANK. In this case a Jury was empannelled to execute an inquiry under the direction of the Sheriff, which had been issued at the instance of her Majesty's Commis sioners of Stamps and Taxes. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF, in charging the Jury, said that he held in his "and her Majesty's Commission, under which they were to inquire if Anthony George Wright, Biddulph John Wright, Henry Robinson, and Edmund William Jerningham, carrying on the business of bankers and co-partners together in Henriefta•strcet, Covent Garden, were indebted to the Queen in any and what sum of money. Mrs. Maria Roberts, of Hammersmith, stated that she had an account with Messrs. Wright and Company, in the joint names of herself and Ann Roberts, her sister. The money belonged to the Crown, and was handed to witness by her nephew, Mr. Alfred James Roberts, and she deposited it for safe custody at Messrs. Wright's ban:. She was in the habit of drawing the checks. Mr. Alfred James Roberts said that he was Collector of Assessed Taxes for the district of Hammersmith, and in that capacity he received about 4,0001. p r annum, which he entrusted to his aunt, the last witnes .. to pay into the bankers. The monies had been draw . out of Messrs. Wright's hands, with the exception c.' 2161. 55., which they still possessed, and which he in- : tended to have paid to the Receiver-General to-mor- I row, if Messrs. Wright had not stopped payment. Mr. BURCHELL, having briefly addressed the Jury, 1 they found that the sum of 2161. ss. was now due from the above firm to the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes. It was understood that an execution would forthwith issue for the recovery of the above amount. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the REcoaDER.) John canhaiu, eged 30, described as a surveyor, was ind cted for obtaining from Edward Fleming the sum of .21. , by false pretences. _ _ _ The prisoner retracted his plea of Not Guilty, and pleaded Guilty to the charge. The RECORDER told the prisoner he had committed a very serious offence. He was in the employ of a re spectable gentleman as clerk, and he had forged that gentknaan's name, and by that means had obtained 9./., and it appeared that upon another occasion he had at tempted to obtain a further sum of 31. The Court was, therefore, bound to pass a sentence upon him of a severe character. The prisoner was then ordered to be imprisoned and kept to haid labour for two years. John Smith, aged 35, a person of respectable appear ance, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 101., tne property of Messrs. Dodd and Co. Tho facts of this case have been fully given within the last few days in our Mansion-house report. The prisoner, it will be recollected, went into the prosecu tor's shop upon some pretence or other, and took the oppGrtunity of snatching a watch from the counter, and ran away with it. He was pursucd and taken, and the watch found in his possession. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty: Mr. Pearce, tha Inspector of the A divis'on, was then called to prove that the prisoner had been convicted in April last, of stealing a watch, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be trans portal for fifteen years. A number of prisoners pleaded guilty in the course of the day, and the Court disposed of several trifling cases of larceny, the details of which were not of the least interest. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Coach and Horses public- house, in Dover-street, Piccadilly, before Mr. Gell, on the body of Lieutenant-Colonel John Cragie, late of the Bengal Army. Mr. Thomas Young, of No. 209, Piccadilly, sur geon, stated that about two o'clock yesterday he was sent for to Hatchett's Hotel, and found the deceased in the room No. 16, in bed, on his back, undressed, suffering under apoplexy. Witness was given to understand that he had taken poison—laudanum. Witness used the stomach pump, and withdrew a quantity of powdered opium. About half an ounce was more than sufficient to destroy life. The apoplexy was caused by the effects of the opium, which probably had been taken three or four hours. He was quite insensible and never rallied.

THE CHURCH-SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL DESTITUTION. (From the Durham Chronicle.) There are thousands, perhaps milllions, of the peo ple, living very much as human beings should live ; but there are millions over which the reflecting heart sickens as to their condition—a condition that has never been, that can never be, stated in print ; because they who suffer it are unequal to the statement, and they who suffer not have not the necessary experience. Attempts have been made to depict the St. Giles of London ; but have fallen much short of the reality. We remem ber a literary Newcastle man, of the name of Bell, falling into distress in the metropolis, sojourning in St. Giles', and coming out to write a most exciting descrip tion of it ; but the keen eye that walks through that region can detect effects much more harrowing in the contemplation of the causes, in the mere out-of door exhibition, to say nothing of what may he seen within, than tongue can utter or pen describe. It may be objected, that this is chiefly an Irish popu lation. More the pity ! it is made English by its locality, and is a disgrace on all Police, all Magis trtcy, all Churches, all Legislature, and all Govern ment—on all humanity. It is not confined to degraded Irish habits ; every manufacturing district, and many of the lower states of English society, hare sunk into this national and religious degradation. We say " reli g'ous," because the Church shoul.l have been an insti tution to have saved every portion of the people from this state ; and we are making the statement with the view of bringing back the Church to be a moral power in the state equal to this desired correction. The parish of St. Giles is near to, if not contiguous, at some point, with the parish of St. J.imes, or Royalty—of St. George, or Aristocracy —of St. Paul's, or the Church. Add St. Andrews' Holborn, or St. Clement in the Strand, for the middle classes, and the five parishes mentioned, in the metropolis, within a five mile circuit, contain a complete specimen and picture of English so ciety, from the highest to the lowest, mingling all that is delightful with all that is horrible in human association. There is a moral poison running through the frame of our society that is the cause of this distressing con trast, bringing hell and heaven together in one commu nity ! Heaven shuns hell—St. James' shuns St. Giles', as much as practicable ; but the same government, laws, and Church, embrace both, and should protect St. Giles' from such a direful and disgraceful sinking. St. James' ought not to be heaven while St. Giles' is hell ; or, we would rather reverse it, and say St. Giles' ' ought not to be hell while the other is heaven. Make both parish( s a picture of heaven, if you please ; to that we have no objection ; but we do object to the association, where the naked and neglected savages of St. Giles' are found howling with hunger and rage after the chariot wheels of St. James'. We do object to such a Church as one that bows to the wealth, and cares not for the spiritual health of the country—that would spurn from its congregations the miserable in habitants of St. Giles, after having, through neglect of education, engendered that miserable condition. The moral poison to which we allude is mixed up with the religion of the country ; and it consists in the perver sion of the Gospel from the poor to the rich—in making religion altogether a rich man's gospel, and not at all a gospel for the poor. This is the great political evil of the day—the crying sin of the nation. The poor man is neglected, and eschewed as an evil in the State, by the Church ; tvhile that man is made and kept poor by an abuse of the Church. The city of Durham has lately formed an Additional Curates' Society. This is good as far as it goes ; but if ten thousand curates were added, without the addition of other duties than Curates now have assigned to them, there would be no additional good done. The spiritual destitution is rather in than out of the Church ; and when the spirituality is within, it is a fountain that yields well ; even to the last drop, it is sure to come out. Its absence without is caused by its previous absence within. The old well is dry, filled up with dead men's bones, and all manner of corrupt things. There is no living water found in it—none to be had for love, none for money. The stagnant well is poisoned—the spring is cut off—the reservoir is empty' and man is parched with spiritual thirst. We have written so far preparatory to 'the conside ration of the state of society in Stockport and the ma nufacturing district. It is time that the poor and des titute should have a voice in the country ; that they should not be neglected, as no other animal is neglected ; that they should not feed worse than the cattle of the field, and fare worse, in shelter, than the birds of the air. The malaria of St. Giles' renders impure the heated atmosphere of St. James' we can see the evil corrupting the good by its contiguity ; and we are not content, that after the Church has assigned to every man an immortal soul, it shall then pass on in revelry, and heed not that soul's salvation. RIGHT OF RAILWAY COMPANIES TO DESTROY PUBLIC ROADS. At a recent meeting of the Croydon bench of Ma gistrates three labourers in the employ of the London and Brighton Railway Company were convicted of hav ing unlawfully injured a public road, with a view to ex clude the public altog ether from the use of it, w ith out the Company first m a king another road to the satisfac tion of the Board of Trustees. ( At the last meeting of the Bench, Mr. Harman, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, accompanied by Mr. Sutton, the solicitor to the Company, attended be fore Messrs. Warrington and Sutherland, for the pur pose of entering into an explanation in reference to the conviction above referred to. Mr. Sutton said he attended before the Bench in consequence of the coeviction of three of their la bourers, and he had, in the first instance, to corn plain that the Company had not received any notice of the intended proceeding, or they would have attended, and he had no doubt he should have been able to show the Magistrates that they had no jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. WARRINGTON said he did not see how any no tice could have been given to the Company. The charge was against the labourers for having wilfully da maged a public road, and it was for that offence they were convicted, Mr. SUTTON said that the whole question involved was whether the road was a public road or not. The case had been decided ex parte, and the question now was, whether the Bench would enforce their decision by issuing distress warrants, in the event of the non-pay ment of the penalty. If he had been present when the summonses were heard, he should have stopped the pro ceedings, in limme, by showing that the Magistrates had no jurisdiction. Mr. WARRINGTON said that the Company must have known of the proceedings, and be might have attended. Mr. Sutton said they had no notice. . The Clerk said it was not usual to give notice. The Company might appeal if they thought proper to do so. Mr. Sutton said that an appeal was not the course that would be adopted. They had another mode, viz., by proceeding against the Magistrates if they issued dis tress warrants, and then tryins , the legality of their deci sion. The C om p a ny were, awever, anxious to have the matter amicably settled, and to give the Bench an opportunity of reviewing their decision. Mr. WARRINGTON said he did not see how the Bench could go into the case again. The distress warrants had not yet b( en issued, and if the Company could come to an amicable arrangement with the trustees of the Roads, the Magistrates would, of course, not take any further steps in the matter. Mr. Harman said that it was a most important matter to the Company, and the property involved in it, and it had been decided in their absence. The CHAIRMAN said that was not the fault of the Bench. They had decided upon the case as it appeared before them, and according to the evidence adduced. After some further conversation, the Bench con sented that the distress warrants should not be issued for the present, to give the Company an opportunity of entering into fresh negotiations with the Trustees, but the Magistrates would not pledge themselves as to what ultimate course would be adopted by them in reference to the conviction. THE MAIL.—In reference to the rumour which has b7rn some time prevalent in Berwick and neighbour hood, as to its being the intention of the Post-Office au thorities to change the route travelled by the London mail, a letter from James Campbell, Esq., Secretary to the Post-Office, Edinburgh, in reply to a memorial on the sub ject from the Berwickshire road trustees, has been received by Mr. Bowhill, Eyemouth, intimating, by authority, that the Postmaster-General does not contemplate any change at present in the arrangements for the transmission of the mail through Berwick. This notification Mr. Bowhill has transmitted to Mr. Willoby, for the information, we pre sume, of all concerned. The rumour in question arose from the circumstance of its having been intimated by the Post-Office to the mail contractors on the line of road that their services would not be required after April next—a fact which naturally suggested the inference that the trans mission of the mail by its present route was, therefore, to be difcontinued.—Be-wick Warder. , AIARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Just prev i ou s ly to this office closing on Monday attcrnoon, Captain John O'Meara, of Manchester.strect, Manchester-square, was brought before Mr. Long, the presiding Magistrate, on a peace warrant, obtained against bim by Ralph James Thomas Williamson, E s q , now stay ing at Stevens's Hotel, New 13.)nd-street, "for threatening to slap his face wherever he met him.' The circumstances under which the threat was made use of were not gone into, as Captain O'Meara came forward to enter into any recognizance that might he required of him to keep the peace. Mr. Long directed Capt. O'Meara to enter into his own recognizance in 1001., with one surety in 1001. to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's liege subjects, and especially towards S t. J o h n ' s Wood, becam e surety f or C apta i n Mr. Williamson, for twelve months. Lord Dunboyne, of Molina-place, O'Meara.

The latter part of the order is probably of much more importance than the former. It is fo r . the preservation of rabbits, which are nenerally the perquisite and who really wishes well to fo'xlAhltuiCnt.---ing: of the keeper, that foxes are in most places destroyed. No landlord who ha; at heart the interest of his tenants, No more should ever allow his keepers to kill a single rabbit which they do not report to their master. In many ca ses a profit, much exc eeding their recog n i ze d wanes is derived from the sale of this species of gam e , and habitsof dishonesty are ac , by by which thei r emp l oter is sure to be the su ff erer. The order from Prince Alb e rt 'for the preservation of foxes will be duly cppreciated by ever y sportsman in the neighbourhood, but it should by no means be confined to the Great Park; it should extend at least to Swinley (for merly the residence of the Master of the Buck-hounds), and the plantations around it, where, it is said, not less t h a n four dozen rabbit t raps set every night, and wh ere i n consequence a soun d f ox h as been but rarely found, hare been, for some years, PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c.

The letter was then read, and was follows :-- " Ingress Abbey, Kent, Nov. SO, 184 0 . "My dear Sir,—At the termination of the late els& tion for the Mayoralty, I resolved to retire from th e , Court of Aldermen, but as th e sess ions at the c entres Criminal Court was about to commence, with a verl heavy calendar, and three of the Aldermen who w e / on the roll with me were unable to take their shar e the duty, I determined to attend throughout tha t ae f e sions k , that no inconv e ni ence m i g ht arise to the I business, and therefore postponed sending m y resign; tion previous to the termi na ti on of the sessions. 1 !oat! subsequently induced to delay it until the present Pel l _1 been to avoid keeping up the excitement which h a- - t he caused by the contest. I now, however, resign .0 gown of the Ward of Farringdon Without ; nod' taking leave, beg to express the grateful sense I do now! and shall always, feel for the many kindnesses I ha" experienced from yourself, and all the officers of the C 41... poration.—l am, my dear Sir, your's faithfully , " JAMES HARM ER '' 6' To Henry Woodthorpe, Esq., Town-clerk, 8 4 c.„ . , - Ald.

Upon the motion of Alderman BaowN, a precep t was issued to the ward of Farringdon Without for the election of an Alderman in the room of James Harmer, Esq., resigned. After some discussion about hospitality and religions destitution,' a vote of thanks was passed to the late Lord Mayor, for his excellent conduct during his Mayoralty. Alderman WILSON then moved an address of con gratulation to her Majesty upon her safe delivery. Upon this a long discussion took place about the absence of Aldermen on the day the Common Council met, and various other topics of little interest to th° public. The motion of Alderman Wilson was unanimously agreed to amidst cheers. The address was then draw° up by a Committee of five Aldermen, and submitted to the Court, strangers being excluded, and unanim ous ly agreed to. Addresses to Prince Albert and the Duchess 0f Kent were also adopted amidst acclamations. PATENT LEVER GOLD HES.
