They notice a violent shock of an earth :rake *hid ' too k p l ace at S avanna h-l a -M ar on th e 3d I tlY• - The most important circumstance, however, which these papers communicate is the rapid and alarming in creace of crime in the island. Sir JOSHUA ROSE, in his - charg e to the grand . jury at Montego Bay on the 6th July, ' a Y; " I cannot help expressing the regret of the court at the great increase of crime. What it arises from Ido not know!: but it will be your duty to take such steps as You may think proper, from the circumstances which may c ome to your knowledge, ;o prevent this increase of Sir JOSHUA ROWE, we suspect, has a tolerably good guess of the cause of this increase of crime in Jamaica , but he does• not choose to let it out. Would it be any stretch of the conscience to say, that vice is produced by 41 excess of iiberty—that idleness leads to immorality 44 d to crime? Since the passing of the emancipation bill Murders are not uncommon—midnight robbery, once so r el ar e• is now frequent. Houses and shops' in the imme diate vicinity of Lord SLIGO'S residence have been broken ° pen and plundered, so that the security of property is ' l °l'r at an end. The black who refuses to work must St ill procure, in some way or other, the means of subsist ence, and th e eas i est wa y t o obtain it is to steal. The foll owing are a few extracts from the Jamaica Despatch of the 10th July:— THE INSURGENTS OF FORT-PRAYA. The United - States district attorney arrived at Norfolk on S "clay last, and after consultation with the mayor of the bo t''ugh. the latter issued a warrant for •the apprehension of the Portuguese officers and soldiers who arrived at that place in the 13razilian schooner Boa Nova, from Port-Praya, via St. Thomas. T he mayor issued his warrant on the oath of Bernardo Reggie, w ho certifies that the said officers and crew committed an act ( f % ir acy on his vessel lying in a small bay on the coast of the 'Bland of Bravo, one of the Cape de Verds, at a time specified therein, and about fif ty.o f th e crew were accordingly committed to gaol preparatory to-the holding of a court of examination. It is rumoured that the officers of the detachment, getting Rind of the design to apprehend thero;departed in the steam boat South Carolina, for Charleston, S. C. In the afternoon t he} Were examined before the mayor in the presence of the district attorney and the Portuguese vice-consul, and duly "%ruined. . • EMIGRANT VILLAGE IN ST. GRORGF.. We are happy to state that Dr. Maxwell, one of the most Pitriotic men in the island, has opened a subscription for the i*Pose of establishing a village fur BritiSh eMigraats in a cen tral and healthy part of the parish. The sum of £5OO is already ' tl bseribed, with every confidence that the plan will succeed. His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to appoint iiliaur Fiater, Esq., one of the members of assembly for Tre irii,ftY, custos of that parish in the room of William Miller, ' ' B( l., who has left the island. The governor has, for once dur ing his administration, conferred an appointment which will be most popular throughout the island. Mr. Frater's indepen dence of character is well-known, and we feel assured that, if he eannot retain his present high officeo.vithout compromising his Principles, he will instantly abandon it. The accounts by the, post are of the usual unsatisfactory elle l'acter- The negroes, dear souls, are not to work in the rain! and the time thus lost to the masters is to be considered as part • the 4O hours' labour fur the week ! The stock, such as horses. mules, &c., belonging to apprentices are not to be taxed. So his excellency writes to the several parochial vestries. But, i t these public bodies allow themselves to be scribbled out of their usefulness in protecting the rights of their constituents, they are unworthy of the trust confided to them. In Ireland, it is tr ue, day-labourers are never indulged with the use of a horse f or their personal convenience; but, if such an act of comfort 11141 Possible, the tax-gatherer would very coon have poor Pat's horse or his money. But here, for no earthly reason that we 4, * aware of, except one, and that a black one, the apprentices, It h" ride their horses to church and market, are to be exempt fr om the island tax ! The next order of the governor, we pre attaie, wiil be to declare the negro grounds forfeited to the present cultivators.• In short, we ere prepared for anything and lqerything, however ridiculous and unjust. Lieutenant. Macdonald, late of the Firefly, with patt of his "ew, had arrived at Rermuda, and were waiting to be tried for The loss of that vessel off the coast of Honduras. The following additional particulars of the loss of the Firefly are given in the 11 °Ya/ Gazette of the 9th of June:— " The Firefly got on the Triangles at night during the first watch, and, after every effort to get her off proved ineffectual, Lieut. Macdonald despatched the cutter, with Captain West, "the Royal Engineers, his son, and servant, and the gig, with Mr.. Lockyer, first mate, the assistant-surgeon, and four men, tztaki the best of their way to Belize for assistance. Captain I 'VeSt, it - seems, subsequently persuaded Mr. Lockyer to take hil4 h. ,-, lc gin, and servant into the gig; and to this imprudent 61 mo:festal:tee, the boat being overloaded; is attributed the loss at the gig and the whole of the persons in her. A norther came 0 n soon after, and Lieut.. Macdonald and ten seamen, all that rained, were compelled to leave the wreck on a raft, and sue edetl in reaching the' coast. Lieut. M. was taken ill shortly t rrer he landed, and, being unable to accompany the others to Was cruelly abandoned to his fate miserably to perish! 'When he was discovered by the party sent 'by Colonel Cock h4to, he was in a deplorable condition; in short, his sufferings , eleven days were beyond description." 4. - ) ur latest advices from Demerara reach to the 2d J uly'• The Guiana Chronicle makes 'the same corn laints of the increase of crime as we have adverted to in tife Jamaica papers. It asks What has caused, we would ask, the increased and increasing nuinlaers of robberies both in town and country? Can we not Pe el% trace them to the circumstance of there being numbers indelent, lazy rascals, freed by the emancipation act, who, having no reputable employment, or, rather disdaining such an "nest source of livelihood, resort to plunder and peculation, as lAo sole remaining means of existence ? To prevent this, our P ri iiee, were they even ten times more efficient than they are, 4r .letally unable; and, in fact, without a registration bill, and v agrant act, the exertions of a Fouch6, or a Vidocq, would P r ove unequal to the task. If the peace, then, of this cora 'nullity is to be maintained, and life and property are to be pro perly secured, the,se measures of legislation we must have, and 11 , 1 A too, speedily. Robbery and peculation in the majority of Iptances amongst these people, have supplied the places, and f inished those means, which industry, sobriety, and good con duct, ought alone to have obtained: This is, indeed, lamentable to think of, nevertheless, we fear is toe . true a picture to allow ev Ala the most zealous of philanthropists to soften down these shades of guilt and crime. • . .pas and 'count4 . are alike the scenes-of these idle vagrants' • e ltplaits--the merchant in the one and the planter in the other. l ire'vietitns of these leviersof black mail.- In the town, the -tee ire nightly broken opon and plundered, and 'hi ProPrIJ Wstoiduous and indattrions merchant is made to furtnsh 7' 44 the fr.evils if them p k ecally film; whnre drinking, gem "NA wad sal% r • f ro d , en , it* reveitiog kin 4,471- ctinied 00 to an excess that can never he credited by those who have not before heard of such disgraceful scenes or who have never wit tressed them. The Scotch proverb says, "that which is lightly come by is as lightly parted with," and iu the extravagance and dissipation of these gentry it is strictly verified, for the me ney that has been obtained by theft is recklessly squandered by them with the most lavish profusion ; while half starving mul titudes of holiest, but indigent, people, might be made happy and comfortable with a moiety of what these fellows waste in low revelling and beastly debauchery. In the country, the honest and reputable portion of the com munity Laic no better from these fellows than their fellow-colon ists in town. Swarms of them hover about their estates, ten times more destructive than the locusts-vests of Egypt;—and not content with plundering and feeding upon their property, they corrupt the principles of their gangs, and sow every where amongst the negroes those vices, in which their carreer in in iquity had rendered them masterly proficients. Lord MELBOURNE has intimated his intention not to offer any further obstruction to the amendments of the municipal corporation • bill. What these are will be found fully reported in 'our parlia,meotary columns. The noble lord, however, has murmured forth something like a menace against the bill in its last stage. It will be cu rious if Lord MELBOURNE should strangle Lord JonN's bantling , simply because it appear's in a new dress. Would it not h^ more respectful to send it home to its parents in the Comm Ons. They may do with it what they like. They may strip it and whip it, and order it to bed ; but they ought to remerhber that it is an only child —the sole hope and stay of the session. If they strangle the bill, then the people of England will have leisure to reflect that they have a House of Commons which has met and prated, quarrellei and kicked, for seven tedious months without producing a single legislative measure of the slightest importance. .I . OIIN SILL generally expects something for his money, but in this case he would be paying dearly for nothing—nothing but empty jaw I Sir JOHN REID, in the House of Commons on MOnday last, made the following pointed observations, which strike us as containing far more sense in relation to the general interests of the country than is to he found in any speech delivered during the present session of par liament. They are as follows : " Sir J. Reid expressed his regret that the legislature inter fered so much with commercial matters, and said that it would' be a fortunate thing for merchants if the key of the door of that house should be lost for the next four years." If this be true as regards the future, as we most sin cerely believe, how much more valuable and beneficial would the rule have been had it applied to the past four years ? We see and feel what the country has suffered, and more particularly what merchants have suffered, since the whigs came into power; and estimating their power of doing mischief and initiating revolution by what they have already accomplished, we well may trem ble for.all that is sacred, noble, and precious in the insti tutions of the kingdom, if the same party are permitted much longer to rob the higher and middle orders, and trample upon the rights and liberties of the lower classes. Our only consolation is that the reign of the whigs is near its close. Of their ministerial acts and deeds, their jobs and frauds, their schemes of plunder and their volumes of falsehood, all honest men are now heartily sick. The King has no confidence in his servants. He rarely sees any one of them ;lie never consults them ; they are not ad mitted to the palace; they are never found at the rova board; and, to make the reciprocal indignity as stinging as possible, his Majesty has no Lord Chancellor to advise him . on matters of the deepest interest to himself, the church, and the nation. . How can such a ministry long remain in power ? They have a miserably small majo rity in the HotiSe of Commons, composed of'some thirty or forty Irish papists, who are at the nod and beck of one man, and this man is a purchaseable article, the veriest tool of corruption, a (lependant upon the beggars of Ire 7 land, and cannot be relied upon for a single hour. They must pay him for his support ; but if it be his interest to. betray and destroy them, HE WILL. In the upper house they have only thirty-nine lords to support them against ,a firm phalanx of one huidred and twenty. And of these thirty-nine peers the majority are the connexions and dependants of the ministry. What value is there in the. vote of LOrd. MINTO, or Lord what's-his4itle . ? who was lately called Mr. Irish Secretary LITTLEroN—of Lords CLANRICARD or TEYNHAM. ? Ministers cannot even se cure the sweet voices of a respectable public meeting in any part of England. The ringleaders of their hole:- and-corner gatherings are unitarians—men of active ha bits and ambitious views, we admit, but who are notori ously unprincipled and untrustworthy. The admirers of these men are the lowest of the - rabble. The signatures to the petitions they send to parliament are for the most part fabricated. Names of unknown men are set down by impustzrs. Lads of the name of SMITH write SMITHS by scores. A couple of sheets, at a gin-shop or beer house, is filled up by the landlord, or by some learned scribe hired for the purpose. These are called the " pe titions of the people ;" in reality they are the petitions of a few characterless blockheads, who hardly know the nature of the resolutions they adopt, or the prayer, they subscribe, and who are urged on to the work of mischief and dishonesty by popish priests, socinians, and republi cans. How, we ask again, can such a ministry, so sup ported, or rather so deserted, survive the odium and the fatality of its own measures ? On the night when Sir JOHN REID delivered the few withering and bitterly sarcastic observations which we have quoted, and which deserve to be written in letters of gold, and hung up in every merchant's counting-house in Great Britain—on that night Mr. POULETT THOM SON, of tallow celebrity, of Canadian Memel timber cele brity, and who is the representative of Manchester, gave notice of the following resolutions in the House of Commons :- I'f:lE3D/tit—CUSTOMS ACTS—RESOLUTIONS REPORTED. 1.--" That upon every pound weight of coffee being the pro duce of any British possession within the limits of the East India Company's charter, and imported from any such posses sion, and also, that upon every pound weight of coffee being the produce of Sierra Leone, and imported from thence, there be levied and made payable a duty of sixpence, in lien of the duties now payable upon coffee, the produce of such places re spectively. 2.—" That upon every butdiel of rough rice or paddy, the pro duce of the West Coast of Africa, and imported from a British possession on the said coast, there be levied and made payable a duty of one penny, in lieu of the duty now payable thereon. 3.—" Th►at upon every cwt. of Karl or pot ashes, the produce of any foreign country, imported from any British possession in Europe, there be levied and made payable a duty of six • " Resolitions agreed to. Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Poulett Thomson and Mr. Baring." Mark, reader, that these resolutions were moved and passed only on Tuesday last, which we take to be pretty near the close of one of the longest and most tedious sessions upon record—a session of large talk' and no' work. ' We have, from long professional observation, al ways looked with strong suspicion upon ministerial re solutions relative to mercantile matters introduced, de signedly, of course, at the fag end of a session ; but a more suspicious one than one of the above never received the countenance of any minister, or the sanction of any House of Commons. Foreign rice, rough, and in the husk, at present pays a duty of 2s. Gd. the bushel. Foreign rice, not being rough or in the husk, pays a duty of 15s. the cwt. If the growth of any British possession the former pays one penny per quarter, and the latter one shilling the cwt. This is the law at present. By Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S new regulations, how ever, the duty on rice of British growth is to be increased, while that'of foreign growth is to be considerably re duced. The difference is what 2s. Gd. to the bushel is to ld. to the quarter. Now, for whose benefit is this duty on foreign rice to be reduced ? It is pretended that this rice thus relieved from a heavy duty is to be the "produce of the West' Coast of Africa." But what if the West Coast of Africa should be explained by some clever American friend to extend to the port of Charleston, in Carolina, or, in other words,.what is to present the Americans from carrying. their rice to the vicinity of a British settlement on the west coast of Africa, introduce it to the said settlement as African produce, and finally bring it into the. British market .under the authority of this law ? Nothing whatever. There is no protection against this fraud. We all know what Mr.. l'ainstr TUOWISON meant* by au article im- t,,T. r. _ .. .• ~.,.,,,,.a--.ti polled- from " any particular country. TV' it was who allowed timbf - -r imported from Canada to bear only the Canada duty.. The consequence was that Baltic merchants carried Baltic timber to Canada, and brought it to England, subject • only to the Cana• dian diity. The. duty on Baltic timber was 555. per load ; on Canada timber 10s. per load. The revenue of the country was consequently cheated by this measure of the difference between those two duties, and the Cana dian merchant robbed in due proportion. The fraud was only interrupted by a threat of Mr. BARING, nosy Lord ASHBURTON, then President of the Board of Trade in Sir ROBT. PEEL'S administration; but to this hour no remedial measure has been introduced by Mr. POULETT THOMSON. The Baltic speculators have still the power, by law, to smuggle Baltic timber into England, under the base pre test of importing it from his Majesty's possessions in North America ! !! This. is a similar trick. We know what Mr. POULETT THOMSON means by the words imported, from Africa. Rice, the produce of Carolina, may be brought here from Africa; the custom-house has only to be satisfied that it has been brought from Africa, no matter whether from a quarter where no rice is grown, and instead of exacting a duty of 2s. 6d. per bushel. the officers of the customs can only demand one penny per bushel. Of course East India rice will be thrown overboard altogether. Those who hold or import it must suffer. But who are to be benefited by this new commercial re gulation ? The Americans, and American speculators. We, for prudential reasons, do not choose to state what we believe to be matter of fact in this curious affair. Of course Mr. POULETT TnomsoN is a disinterested person altogether. He is a whip, and per inference too noble minded, too honourable, too just to be concerned in the vile traffic of benefiting by any speculation in American rice imported from Africa. But is there no London or Liverpool house quite alive to the advantage of an early cargo under the privileges of Mr. TnomsoN's resolution? Isthere no rice shipped to Africa for. the purpose of being exported to England? Is no respectable liberal or quaker awake to the profits of so liberal a concession? Is the bounty now offered to be unclaimed? Is no good to come of it to certain persons? Are there no joint risks amongst enterprising individuals? These are ugly questions, we admit, but they are not addressed to Mr. TllomsoN, who is an honourable man. There is no tallow in the case. Rice is not timber, any more than Spring Rice is absolute wisdom. The regula tion is entirely for the benefit of the country. Cheap rice is a boon to the poor man who every day has a rice curry to follow in second course after his red herring or his Irish stew. It is a necessary accompaniment to the capon in his pot and the guinea in his pocket. The poor man must have rice, and POULETT THOMSON gives it him cheap; nobbtly suffers, no one is robbed, no one is injured; he alone is benefited. Hang roast beef ! Have you not rice, you dog, almost for nothing? Go down then upon your knees and thank Mr. POULETT THOIVISON for unmerited blessings. The scum of London were collected together on Tues day last to celebrate the passing of some vestry act, but the principal object. was evidently to indulge in beer and oratory, gin and sedition. Some idea may be formed of the character of the squad who thus assembled, to the number of one thousand, when we state that the only known persons among them who acted as leaders were JOSEPH HUME, Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, Mr. WAKLEY, Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY, the two BULWERS, SHEIL, and O'CoNNEtx. Sir JOHN CAM Hoßutonsc was likewise present. and no doubt he went officially to put in a kind word for his colleagues in affliction. It is a well known fact, much to the credit of the me tropolis, that no respectable Englishman, no matter in what state of society,, ever attends any meeting which is disgraced by the presence of O'CONNELL. That is the reason why the agitator has never succeeded in forming an English party in this country. The meeting, we make bold to say, consisted principally of low Irish, and to them O'CONNELL addressed the following inflammatory speech " The hon. and learned gentleman, after aLludingAo'the 'ad vantage of having now itministry who were determined to re dress the grievances of Ireland, asked what good was that if 200 or 300 individuals were allowed to stand in the way of the people's rights ? The abuses of corporations were admitted on all hands; but the House of Lords stood between the people and that redress. (At this moment a table, on which several persons were standing, gave way, and the fall produced a tem porary interruption to the proceedings.) Mr. O'Connell went on to say that the table was a little too much crowded, it canted a little of that regulation which should be extended to the House of Lords. (Cheers and laughter.) After some further remarks he added, that 200 or 300 stood in the way of the rights of 30 ,000,000; but suppose the 30,000,000 should say they did not want t h at 200 or 300 ? Suppose that in place of those 209 or 300 lords thefe were the same number of faded old dames in that house the painted remnant of the court of George IV., would not the people of this country be laughed to scorn if they did not laugh that body to scorn for interfering with their rights, and what did it matter to him whether those who were opposed to the people's rights wore pantaloons or petticoats ? Of the two he Would prefer the petticoats, but he would laugh the old harridans in pantaloons to scorn for the attempt to interfere with the people's rights. Ile spoke as a successful agitator, and he would say to the people of England agitate until they brought public opinion to bear on those 200 or 300 ewe who stood in the way of their rights, and who opposed improvement. After some further remarks, the hon. and learned gentleman advised the meeting to petition the House of Commons and the throne, but not to meddle with the lords. Let them not touch a hair of their heads, t.:ut let their petitions pray that that useless body, might not be allowed to stand between the people and their rights." We ask Lord MELBOURNE, why is this man suffered to be at large? Why is a vulgar and insolent beggar like O'CONNELL allowed to insult one of the estates of th e realm, and hold them up to the vengeance of the mob ? Here is sedition if not treason in every line, uttered too in the presence of one of the king's ministers, who by his silence joins in the insult, and is an accessory to the crime, and yet the man who uttered it is suffered to walk the streets, and is the chief supporter of the administra tion ! We know not what the Lords mean to do, but we trust there is some one amongst them who has sufficient courage to bring the seditious harangue of this incendiary under the notice of the house. The fellow tells the meeting that they see in him a '.successful agit:itor," and he advises them to follow his example, and commence in England those murderous schemes and horrid outrages which have entailed so much misery upon the people of Ireland. Are the Lords con tent that he should succeed here ? It is easy to penetrate the cause of O'CoNNELL's fury. He now perceives that his Irish corporation bill is floored, and that the popish priests, with himself at their head, will not be allowed to possess all the borough property, and monopolize all the borough power of Ireland. He finds that the hope held out to him of municipal spoliation is entirely blasted—that his friends in the cabinet cannot redeem their pledges—and that he must return to Ire land as empty as he came. Money they have none to g i ve hi m ; and additional power the Lords will not suffer them to confer, at least by any act of parliament. His insolence, however, must not be endured any longer. Some of our readers will perhaps recollect an exhibi tion in London a few months ago, at which Lord BROUGHAM and DANIEL O'CONNELL were the principal performers. The object of the meeting had some refer ence to vulgar excitement upon the question of slavery in the United State:. That Lord BROUGHAM should have descended so far as to bandy compliments with one of the basest and most heartless ruffians of modern times excited the surprise and the sorrow of many of his best friends. The whole proceeding was totally inexplicable upon ordinary grounds. Some said th e no ble and learned victim of an h ere ditary dis temper, and that he courted flattery with an avidity of appetite whidh only evinces itself tri those of the gentle sex who crave the indulgence" of eating eandle , ends and coal cinders. Be this; believer, as it may, the le aineds ; cboofMatter found himself in very awkward canipany. Me *as in the verygooSS dubs of ignorance:- He'. *is compelled to inhale the perfumes of as dirty a set elvish vagrants as ever danced round a murdered protestant with pitch-, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. forks for their arms, and their native rags floating as the ensigns of beggary and liberty. On .that occasion Lard BROUGHAM contended with Mr. BEGGAR O'CONNELL in his abuse of America. The lord played off his pothouse slang .in brilliant, style, but the beggar, in superfluity of blackguardism, f l airly beat the peer. The news of this. display was rapidly enough reported to the good citizens of the " city of New York," and mighty' indignant they were thereat. A paper called the New York Enquirer, and a tremendous sheet it is, has taken the liberty of rubbing down the charac ters of the two speakers in rather a powerful and per sonal way. We give a large part of the article to show in what estimation Lord BROUGHAM, mad this fellow O'CONNELL, are held by the "regular" Yankee of New England. ft is a slashing piece of invective that merits a cool perusal. Here it is:— • The two great punches at the puppet show at Exeter-ball, it will be seen, were Lord Brougham and Daniel O'Connell. His lordship being, by some oversight in policy, or the momentary abeyauce of that sleepless instinct which has hitherto enabled him to anticipate the strongest side, thrown out of office, and being, we presume, in want of some other excitement than that of the bottle, has lately taken up the thriving trade of negro philanthropy. Despairing, it would seem, of rig on the shoulders of his white countrymen, he has mounted the blacki for the purpose of riding into glory, or office; and there is rea son to hope that honest John Bull will, through the magic of his eloquence, become io tickled with the notion that the blacks of the United States are so much greater slaves than himself, that he will actually wax happy in the comparison, and exalt his lordship exceedingly, in pure gratitude for having wrought this consoling conviction. We would ask if there is anything in the character of Lord Brougham calculated to give his efforts in this or any other cause connected with the general happiness of mankind the stamp of sincerity ? Is he not the slave of a corrupt and selfish ambition ? Is he not a hard drinker and a, glutton ? Is he not a brawling declaimer, ever induling the deep malignity of his heart in wounding the feelings of his opponents in debate and in vrrifing , without the least regard to the decorum of a gentle man, or the restraints of honourable rivalry ?. •la he not a' rampant office seeker, who has repeatedly violated his word and his principles and sold his conscience to the highest bidder whenever there was any body to bid for hiin ? Did he not, on one occasion, publicly declare in parliament that he would not take office, and within three days after accept the station of Lord Chancellor of England? In short, is he not Universally known as a harsh, dogmatical, overbearing tyrant to all those whom be dares to insult or oppress, or barrass with his venomous powers of aroganee ? We would ask if such a man, so devotrql to selfili ambition, so reckless of his public professions, so uttorly regardless of the feelings of his fellow men, can be supposed sincere in his devo tion to the welfare of mankind? In our opinion, the course he has lately pursued and is now pursuing is at war with the remotest sanction of sincerity. It belies his history and his character, and is masked by all the featuresof selfish hypocrisy, seeking honours and rewards, under the cloak of philanthropy. When such a man expresses his " horror and disgust at the con tinuance of slavery in the United States," he is not thinking of the negro, but of himself. He is inflating his imagination with the idea that he will one day take his station among the bene factors of the human race, and pampering his gnawing and hungry appetite for notoriety with the agreeable anticipation that he will be rewarded even in this world, after the manner of worldly men, by the providential dispensation of the woolsack. Let us now analyze the claim of Daniel O'Connell to the cha racter of a philanthropist. Hitherto, indeed, Mr. O'Connell has held no office except that delegated to him by the gratitude of his countrymen. Whether this be owing to his never having been tempted, or to his having resisted temptation, may be a subject of doubt,. when we look back and see how one after another the champions of Ireland have sold themselves and their country whenever they became worth the purchase of a peerage or a sinecure. Of this class ;of brawling demagogues it may truly be said— He alone wont betray in whom none will confide, And the patriot is true who has never been tried. Of the disinterestedness of Mr. O'Connell there is, however, proof on record. He is a patriot—by subscription. While filling the world and the newspapers with high wrought pictures of the poverty and miseries of his countrymen, and painting them as on the very verge of starvation—nay, actually starvinr, —he consents to receive and pocket the subscriptions of these his suffering countrymen, acid to revel in the spoils of their in dustry. Thousands, yea, tens of thousands of pounds have been contributed in this manner, for the purpose of animating this stern inflexible patriot, and clothing his thread-bare patriotism in purple and fine linen. We ask, would any true lover of his country, any man who•viewed the condition of his poor coun trymen, and sympathized in their-abject misery—we ask would such a man be 'guilty of the sordid, the indescribable meanness of acCeptirig - cliitriioi pocketing rewards, from the Waning' beggars he describes? If he was so poor as to require alms from paupers, we might have pardoned him for selling himself to the rich toriei of England, but for thus making money ont o the gratitude of his wretched countrymen, and selling them his patriotism; for hawking and huckstering it through Ireland to gain a fund by penny subscriptions, we cannot pardon him, even though he should reject the bribes of an English ministry— before they were offered. . . . . Here are some characteristics which are incompatible with a pure and enlarged philanthropy, and cannot mingle with its genuine ingredients. It is impossible to unite with the love of our coun trymen, or of mankind in general, a desire to pick their pockets , or to accept even voluntarily of what we know they can but ill spare. Such a grovelling and interested trait cannot mingle harmoniously with the high and disinterested dignity of pure philanthropy. They can no more exist in the same bosom than snakes can exist in Ireland, where all the poison seems concen trated on the tongue of the great liberator. Nothing but a bilious venom seems to circulate in his veins. He abuses his opponents with a rank luxuriance of epithet that could only have originated in the fertile bogs of Ireland. This is tolerably strong, and bitterly true as concerns the Irish beggar, but we are more inclined to think Lord BROUGHAM a weak, vain, and intemperate man than a hypocrite with a malicious spirit. At any rate we have nothing to do with the sketch. We do not even concur in its sentiments; but still it is pleasant to hear what the friends of liberty in the new world think of its champions in the old. It is also delightful to remark, that the. cha racter of O'CONNELL is extremely well understood in the United States of America. LONDON LATEST NEWS. City, Wednesday Evening, Half- past Seven o'clock. Things wear a gloomy aspect here, and our public se curities are on the decline. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer's miserable budget I►as been a subject of uninin gled derision, even among his own party, who, from the length of time the mountain was iu labour, expected something more than the miserable abortion Mr. Spring Rice has produced. Consols have declined to 89k, and the omnium to 21 premium, at which the market closed heavily this afternoon. Exchequer Bills are at 19, and India Bonds at sto 7. Money is by no means easy here, nor are discounts with facility effected unless for .very good paper. In our foreign market Spanish securities have given way very considerably; the prices of the Bonds being at 431, 4, and of the Scrip 16t- discount. The state of this unhappy country, the gove . rnment do facto of which is nursed with whig support, gives little hope that its financial obligations will bear an improved appearance ; in' truth the only wonder is to find that any person can be found foolish enough to buy them at any price.

Brazilian Bonds are 86, 87. The receipts for the Scrip of the new loan were issued at the Bank yesterday. We have accounts from Callao of the 21st March, the tenor of which is similar to that we generally receive from that ill-fated and misgoverned portion of the world.

We do not know anv English writer precisely like him. He somewhat resembles Swift. but Swift was graver, and dealt much in irony—a weapon little used by Cobbett. Something of the manner of Defoe may be traced in his descriptive, but as political writer old Daniel was much heavier. Perhaps Frank lin, whom he used to call a gt eat rogue, conies nearest to hie ma nner; and poor Richard supplied many of his ideas upon life, manners, and domestic economy. Paine alio, whom he at one time denounced as a ruffian unworthy to live. and at another time set up as an idol for admivatiOn, ap pears to have served him for a model. He fancied, or he pretended to fancy, that he was indebted for his vigour and lucidness to his grammatical knowledge of the language, and was fond of referring to his grammar as a proof of his profound information. Of the philosophy of language he had no idea—no acquaintance with etymology—not a philological notion in hie head. We have not looked into his English Gram mar for many years ; and all we can recollect of it is, that the examples chosen to illustrate the rules were amusingly chasin from his political Animosities.

TYNDALL Chlif Jostle, jf the Court of Cominott Pleas.l • • 7 Eliza Greenwood was charged with.hiying Married, her first husband. William Greenwood.-being still alive. 'the case for the pro , seciiton Was conducted by Dr. BroWni that of the pri soner by Mr. Brandt.. Mrs. Egan proved the marriage of the prisoner, under the maiden name of Ann Roberts, to William Greenwood, at the Collegiate Church of Manchester; and that they had lived together as man and wife. On her cross-eitausi-, nation by Mr. Brandt, witness said that she believed the true name of the reputed Greenwood was. Miller. She bad heard so. Dr. BrOwn objected to this mode of questioning a witness upon that 14hich was merely rumoured. The parish-clerk or the paro chial Collegiate Church of Manchester proved both the first and subsequent marriage of the prisoner, the former in August. 1833, and the latter in December, 1834. Richard Berwick, po lice-Officer, of Manchester, deposed that he had taken th e pri-: soner into custody on th e 14th o f Mar last. When he informed the prisoner of the serious charge exuding aoainst her, she told him that she was under the impression that her first husband was drowned: It was subseqnent4'proved that a vessel had been swamped in the River Mersei,—m which vessel Greenwood was at the time. The prisoner said in her defence that her husband had been away at sea eight rnenthi, when a cousin of his called upon her and told her that he was drowned. Esia Dannel, the sister of the prisoner at the bar, proved that the lat ter had requested her to accompany her to, Liverpool to &seer taio the fact, as to "ether her hueband were dead or alive. They returned to Manchester under the impression that he was dead. The prisoner had never seen Greenwood till some time after Her last marriage,•when his sudden appearance bad buzzed her so much alarm and agitation that she had fainted. The leaned Judge summed up the evidence very Minutely; the jury consul ted for a few minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. Benjamin Kirkham was indicted, charged with killing and slaying Elizabeth Knowles, a child three years old. It was proved in evidence, that the prisoner had, through inattention to his horses, suffered them to knock down and drag the cart over the body of the deceased, the prisoner being at that time ten vards,in the rear of the vehicle. John Cowcroft, surgeon, of Manchester, stated that he had opened the body of the child, and its liver was found to be broken . up, which - had caused its death. The next witness who was placed in the box having called the child Sarah Knowles, the circumstance induced an inquiry . , when it Was discotered that a wrong name was inserted in the indictment. The prisoner was pronounced not guilty and discharged. • MANSLtUGHTER• An Irishman; named Jamex Brannigan, of ferocious appear- or ance, stood indicted for killing and slaying Cain Harrington, at Manchester. on the 20th of July last: On being placed at the bar he was asked by the Judge if he had any counsel ? The Prisoner replied, that Mr. Wilkins defended Mr. Wir.,x INS said that he had received no instructions to do so. The prisoner then said that he bad employed Mr. Xicholls, of Manchester, to defend him , and Mr. Ricnotts told hjiii that Mr. :Wilkins was to defend him. Mr. Nicholls was then called three or four times, and as there was no answer, the case proceeded without counsel for the de fence. Mr. BRANDT appeared for the prosecution. Dennis Dunu d e p ose d th at h e b a d b een present cm the even ing in question, when the prisoner and deceased were at the house of Mice Hughes, in Jermyn-street, Manchester. The, prisoner had a long dispute relative to his country with a matt named Patrick. Both parties were Irish. This Patrick had thrown prisoner down, when llarrington interfered, and took part in the dispute. This led the prisoner into a quarrel with him. When he recovered his feet he seized the deceased by the throat, threw him down, and inflicted a stab upon his breast and another in the lower part of his abdomen, on the left side. Alice Hughes deposed that the prisoner had, previous. to the quarrel with Patrick, quarrellel with a person named M`Cabe ; this had led to the other quarrel. The prisoner hitbself cross-exa mined this witness at great length, and . with considerable shrewdness. His principal object seemed to be toshow that the deceased and others had exasperated him by telling him that he had sworn falsely against some prisoners at the Lancaster assizes, who, through his influence, had got six months' impri sonment; and further to cast a stigma on the characters of deceased and his associates of that evening. The inspeetor of the nightly watch, in Manchester, deposed that he had taken the . prisoner into custody, and had immediately returned to the spot to search for the knife, but could not find it. The prisoner cross-examined this witness, with a view to show to the court bow severely he had been ill-treated before he had committed the act. The knife was produced by a gentleman netted Davis. who said that he had known the prisoner for many years, as connected with the paviours under the surveyors a stree;s, in Manchester. Mr. Gallagher, house-surgeon at the Manchester Infirmary, proved that Harrington had died from inflammation of the wound in the abdomen. The prisoner put in a written , defence, which was read by the clerk of the court, in which he urged the great provocation which he had received. The learned Judge then summed up the evidence, and the jury, after con sulting about ten minutes, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. The learned Judge said that the prisoner had been found guilty of crime which, however common it might be as the final result of quarrels in other countries, he hoped would never be established in this. He should feel it to be his duty to uphold the prisoner as an example to others, whose passions, if unchecked, might induce serious mischief and considerable loss of life. The learned Judge then sentenced the prisoner to be transported iieyond the seas for seven years. CUTTING AND MAIMING. Andrew Jepson stood charged, on an iniietment, With cutting and wounding Benjamin Grimshaw, with a certain sharp instru ment, called a hoe, on the 20th of April last. Benjamin Grimshaw stated that he was one of the watchmen of the New Bailey Prison, Manchester. On the 20th of April last, in consequence of some refrattory conduct . nn the part of . the prisoner, who was serving a probation of six mouths' im -prisonment there to hard labour, he (witness) was ordered to place him in one of the back cells of the prison., As they pro ceeded through the yard of the prison, Jepson requested witneas to put him in a dry cell. He showed him several cells, but he , objected to them all. He then passed out of. that vardinto another, when the prisoner. having seized a hoe which stood in a corner. ran after him and struck him a most violent blow ow , the head with it. Grinashaw.raised his stink to war/Log-the en suing blow which the prisoner levelled at him, but the stick was shivered to splinters. The prisoner then raised the hoe again and struck witness with such violence that his hat was cut thrOugh as though it had been paper, and a severe wound was inflicted on his skull. The hat was here produced, and the two very extensive cuts were exhibited to the court:• Witness then . ran away to the distance of about forty yards,:pursind by the prisoner, who, however, only succeeded in giving him one more blovi, which fell upon his arm. Witness then felt sick and fell, down in a state of insensibility. lie did not strike or threaten prisoner with his stick previous to the attack of the latter upon ; him. • David Russell, superintendent of night police, at Ardwick,' near Manchester, deposed that he was at the New Bailey prison on the 20th April last. He heard a cry of murder proceeding from the yard; ran to th e spot an d t h ere saw the prisoner pur-. suing Grimshaw with the hoe uplifted over his head, in attitude to strike. When he saw witness he ran away, and at the same time Grimshaw fell down insensibl. , - The surgeon of th e N ew B ailey prison xtated that he wal called in to see Grimshaw on the 1 4th of April last. He , eta mined him and found that be had a very s e ve re ga s h in his beisd.; above his right ear, extending to the length of three inches, and penetrating as far as the periosteum or membrane covering of the skull. There were also several other severe bruises on the head, arm, &c. Witnsss had seen the examination of the pri soner before the magistrates. Had heard him say, "If I had a knife in my hand I would have stuck it through his liver; I should have to be tried over again and sent out of the country." The prisoner put in a very lengthy written defence, winch , was read by the clerk of the court. He complained of the ill treatment to which he had been subjected at the treadmill. Grimshaw, he said, h a d r a n a ft er with him his stick in the yard, and the whole treatment which he experienced -so exasperated him that he knew not what he did then, or what be said subse quently. • The learned Judge recalled the witness Grimshaw, and ques tioned him respecting the truth of the ahcnte statement. The witness said that it was all false. He " never used better words to any man in his life." The learned Judge, in charging the jury, recapitulated the evidence at large, dwelling with emphasis on its most corroborative points. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict against the prisoner of guilty. The !carnet/ Judge said, that if be were for an instant deterred from passing upon the prisoner the awful sentence of the law, it was from his conviction of the utter hopelessness of any remission if that were once done. There would be no hope. He should. therefore, take time till the following day to consider of his sentence. CUTTING AND NIAINIING, • Charles Griffiths was indicted on charge of having, at Man'-' • chester, on the 18th of July last ; maliciously . and unlawfully cut and stabbed Ellen Grime, with intent to murder her. The facts, a s proved by the evidence, were as follows : Ellen Grime suited, that she had had some words with the • prisoner, after drinking with him at a public-house. Prisoner went home before her, and she followed him It that • they both lived together. Witness went intothe room io which the prisoner slept, when he asked her to " come to bed." She refused, and prisoner got. up, took his penknife from his pocket, - and again asked her to "come to bed," Witness replied that she dare not. The prisoner immediately went over to witness and inflicted two severe cuts on the lower part . of the abdomen - of the witness, or, to use the more erophatieksxpressiou of a subsequent witness who w:ls present, he " ripped,her (Ten." • Witness immediately became insensible. On a :erois-e.Xaruina tion,by the Judge, the witness said she had had.some drink, but. was not intoxicated. Elizabeth Diekileon,. who slept in the room in -whisti the cir cumstance occurred, corroborated the above esidetice. Mr. Gollagher, surgeon, had sowed up the. wounds in the ab domen of Ellen Grimes. They were very severe: one of them was about three inches, the caller an inch and a toff in length,. proceeding in one line with a space of about one inch between. The prisoner, in big defence, pleaded intoxication as the cause of his crime. The learned Judge having' summed up with great delibeeel ; tion, the- jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilts- . Th e learned Budge commented very feeliagiy, upon the inhuman conduct of the prisoner.

The pro secutor said that his friend was not a knobstfik ; when the poi-, soo er replied that he was, and that he (the . p reseci tt r i r ) .was little better.
