ELECTION OF COUNCILLORS. Sr. PETWE WARD, No. 7. A T a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of this WARD, /1_ held at Mrs. Peacopp's, the Union Rooms, in Paradise street, on SA TU nay, the sth of December instant, the following LETTER from Mr. LYON having been read, "TO THE BURGESSES OA St. PETER'S WARD. "GENTI.EmErI4 "When, at your request, I reluctantly consented to be nomi nated as a Candidate, to represent your Ward in the New Town Council, I yielded more to the kind manner in which the re quest was made, than to any presumption of my own that I was most worthy of your support. "Circumstances, however, have since occurred, which induce me to request you to relieve me from the engagement which I came under to you. "In respectfully declining the honour you i ended me, I feel great gratification in the knowledge that t only obstacle which prevented another Gentleman from bein reviously nominated has since been removed. " I allude to Mr. WILLIAM PO' ER, whose qualification was questioned by the REFORME , but has now been satis factorily established. "Should he, by your suffrages, be placed in the situation of one of your Representatives, you will have a much more able and efficient supporter of your Interests, and those of the Town at large. " I return you my sincere thanks, for your great personal kindness and services, and beg to assnre you, that I shall be most happy to use my best exertions ill support of our cause. " I remain, Gentlemen, • " Your most obedient and faithful Servant, EIjMUND B. LYON." It was Resolved,—That the Committee deeply and sincerely regret the determination to which Mr. Lyon has been induced to come, as they consider that he acceded to the wishes of a Public Meeting of this Ward with a view only to promote its general interests, and that the cordial Thanks of this Committee be given to him for his spirited and disinterested conduct on this occasion. It was Resolve I,—That Mr. WILLIAM POTTER he re cemmeded to the Burgesses of this Ward as a very efficient and proper Person to be nominated as a CANDIDATE iu the place of Mr. Lyon. The Committee, therefore, most earnestly request the favour of the continued exertions of the Burgesses iu behalf of the Candidates, Mr. THOMAS TOBIN, Mr. NATHAN LITHERLAND, Mr. WILLIAM POTTER. By order, JOHN PENINGTON, Secretary. Committee Room, 7th December, 18.35. TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. PETER'S WARD. GENTLEMEN, SINCE my Friend, Mr. E. B. LYON, h, relinquished his intention of offering himself to our 'rages, I have been called upon by a numerous portion ' urgesses of the Ward to declare myself a CANDID - or its representation in the Town Council. I feel it my duty at this coujunc eto accede to a proposal so complimentary, however little posed I should have been under other circumstances to eute the responsibility or pub licity attendant on the Office. Being a Native and constant Resldent of the Town, and long engaged in its external Commerce, tuy fondest wishes are iden tified with its prosperity and credit. Promising- therefore a diligent, independent, and zealous at tention to the- interests of the community, if placed by your favour in a situation to deliberate upon them, I hafe the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your humble and obedient servant. Oldhcal-aireet, Dee. 7, 1835. WILLIAM POTTER. TO THE NEWLY ENFRANCHISED BURGESSES OF LIVERPOOL, AND THOSE, IN PARTICULAR, OF ST. PETER'S WARD. r'IENTLEMEN,—A difference of opinion 13. eing arisen kJ(' respecting the legality of Burgesses voting .r Candidates out of the Wardsin which they are registered, das one clause of the Municipal ReforM Act contains a pr. so should a Coun cillor be chosen for two different Wards, .eg to state, that in a letter received from Lord John Russ• , •e remarks explicitly, that " a Burgess cannot vote for a . .eilman out of the Ward for which he is registered." Unde hese circumstances, it ap pears to me that the plan propose. and adopted in the city of Carlisle is liberal and judicious, and also free from dictation or coercion,—" that each Ward shall, after the Revising Barris ters have corrected the Ward Lists, publicly meet, that double the number of Candidates required, or more, if a majority of such meeting shall so decide, be then nominated; seven days after such nomination the Burgesses shall re-assemble, when the three Candidates having the greatest number of votes (by ballot) shall then be considered as the most eligible to be elected on the 26th of December." The plan, I am convinced, would secure to us men whose principles have not only been wisely and independently adopted, but fearlessly and determinedly acted upon. Gentlemen, I hold the system of canvassing and that of so liciting subscriptions as decidedly contrary . to the spirit of the law and the intention of free elections, and sincerely is it matter of regret that in St. Peter's Ward such practices have already been resorted to, as if integrity and assiduity, a prudent and jealous watchfulness over the liberties and interests of the people were not sufficient inducements to secure the election of fit and proper representatives. Some persons have been nominated who are unknown, un tried, and total strangers as political or public men; one in par ticular has been dragged, by the partiality of a few individuals, from quiet obscurity into precarious publicity, who refused to vote for either Messrs. Thornely or Morris. 'Timid vacillation is not the qualification for the fierce arena of conflicting parties in the new Council. 1 have to express my regret, that indisposition prevented my attending many of your preliminary meetings. I, therefore, take this mode of expressing my gratitude fur the interest taken, in the meantime, in my election, by so many of my friends and Brother Burgesses. I am, most respectfully, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, 17, Church-street, Dec. 2d, 1835. EDWIN KEET. Regal Wotirt.

December 4, 18.35. . ‘4Ak„ THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD DANIEL IN FOR IT! (From the New York Courier of 11th November.) O ' CONNELL—If there be on earth one human being to whom talents have been granted for evil, it is the base, brawling de magog,ue whose name we have prefixed to this article. On the whole course, the whole dishonest, and self-interested, and am bitious course of this creature we have long looked with disgust and loathing. Ireland's worst enemy, under the guise of friend ship, wringing the wretched relics of their hard earnings from the hands of the starving wretches whose cause he would be thought to advocate, that he may revel in abundance—he the agitator ! And for what—for what has he agitated Ireland—for what has he taught her peasantry that they are seven millions in number—for what but to increase their misery and his own blood-bought income, aye, blood-bought? For the rent that is paid to this most desperately wicked man is earnest by those denunciations of the church . and state which have driven the sons of Erin to midnight associations and to midnight massa cres—which have gained for them nothing, absolutely nothing! Neither in civil nor religious freedom have they in truth been benefited aught. For who will pretend to tell us that the aboli tion of test acts of the repeal of pains and penalties have ren dered one son of Ireland more happy or more free than he was before? It truly makes our blood boil in our veins when we read the blarneying, brawling, bragging speeches of this foul incendiary; when we hear him boasting of his patriotism, his incorruptiblity, his devotedness to liberty and to Ireland; when we consider tliat year after year he riots in the expenditure of thousands of pounds sterling, wrested by shillings, and by six pences, aye, and by single pennies, from the famishing gripe of widows and of orphans, of beings who are thus robbed of their last potato, that this corrupt and greedy demagogue may feast upon champagne and venison. There is in truth no point of his character that is not calcu lated to call forth the unqualified contempt of every honest and high-minded man, whether he be a friend or a foe to the party, by bucklering to which this thin+ , has made himself a man. Whether we look upon him as the' robber and grinder of the poor, as the selfish aggrandizer of himself at the cost of the misery of thousands, as the ferocious slanderer, the deliberate utterer of calumnies, which he lacks the courage to sustain, or as the calumniator of all men born in stati o ns su p erior t o hi s own, and adorning those stations with virtues such as he knows by name only, and with talents not, like his, perverted to the basest and most sordid ends, we shall behold in him the genuine demagogue, the bully coupled with the coward, the intriguer without one spark of 'generosity or honour—a Catalina in all but courage to acemnp!ish his flagitious ends. The Irish Michiavel has now turned an abolitionist—a pious, praying, preaching fanatic! At Glasgow he mounted a baptist pulpit, and delivered an oration aniid the acclamations of a few hundred paltry radical weavers,ahe scourings of the looms of that entirely manufacturing city, and entertained his select and elegant audience with a tissue of the lowest and most foolish abuse against the people of these United States that ever eman ated from the mouth of man. " Time Americans," he said, "in their conduct towards their slaves, were traitors to the cause of human liberty, foul detractors of the democratic principle, and blasphemers of that great and sacred name which they pretended to recognise. In reprobation of that disgraceful conduct his voice had 'wen heard across the wide and deep Atlantic, bike the thunderstorm in its strength, it had careered against the breeze armed with the lightning of ehristian truth. lie would have the proud Americans know that all parties in this country united in condemnation if their present conduct:" This is the same indivi dual who a year or two ago was mistaken by the people of this country for a patriot and a friend to liberty, who really possess ed golden opinions among the citizens of this mighty nation, which he now presumes to slander with a malignity that is equal led only by the ignorance that dictates it. We well remember when first, after running a muck, like a drunken malay, against all that is noble, and most that is vir tuous in England, he undertook to vilify this land, to which if he were, what he professes to be, a republican, he must look with pride; we well remember publishitg, a notice of his swag gering insolence, which was at once and in tots denied by the Irish papers of these states, as a garbled falsehood of ours, forsooth, to injure the cause of the green island. It is net, however; long before he again broke out with his abuse against the land wherein thousands and tens of thousands of his house less and homeless and pennyless countrymen, desolate outcasts from the soil of their nativity, have found hospitality and More than equal justice; have amassed riches and acquired power, and been embodied among the citizens of that republic, whose inhabitants their Coryphmus styles traitors and aristocrats, the proudest of the proud. , It was not long before, at a London anti-slavery meeting . , he again belched out his nauseous slang against us, which, with a meanness exceeded only by his pre vious ingratitude, he instantly withdrew in an apolgetic letter, when taxed with his impertinence. This last time he has however, exceeded himself:—" Es- PUCLICANS, he said, w*s PROVERBIALLY PROUD; and, there fore, he delighted to taunt the Americans with the superlative meanness, as well as injustice, of their assumed airs of superiority over their black fellow-citizens. Whilst this continued he would never cease to hurl his taunts across the Atlantic. And oh, but Oerhaps it was his pride that dictated the hope, that some black 'Connell might arise among the slaves, who would cry • Agi tate! agitate ! agitate !' till the two millions and a half of his fellow-sufterers learned the secret of their strength—learned that they were two millions and a half:" To regard this farther than as evidence of this man's true ob jects and character were indeed beneath us; but as affording a clue to these, his jargon is worthy of some little notice. How admirably does his first expression tally with his pre tended admiration of equality and of republican principles ; how admirably does it tally with his previous professions ! How exquisitively does he show the true leaven of his proud nature in the black O'Connell; but we can assure labn that should some black O'Connell arise—as he expresses it—he will not be treated by the government of these United States with that false leniency which led the English government to over look the crimes of his white protopype—blacker within by the way —than the dark skinned pupil whom he so eloquently invokes to follow in his footsteps —no, the black O'Connell will be hanged here as the white one would have been long ago in England had he met his merits, and as he will probably be here after. We presume his next step will be to cry agitate, agitate, to his own American Irish countrymen, till they shall learn the secret of their strength—till they in short shall declare the pope their supreme head, and Dan. O'Connell his vicegerent in America, and, for aught we know, president, or emperor of the Irishmen of America ! Seriously we do think that the influence of this maligner of our country, our institutions, and our honour —of this man, in respect to whom it was lately proposed to let)? an Irish legion in our streets to be denominated the " 0' Connell Guards"—We do think that the well known influence of this bad man with most of the Irish, whether here or at home, should create in our minds some slight distrust, should cause us to hesitate a moment ere we encourage the extension among us of naturalised population avowedly clinging to one another, notes Americans but as foreigners, and influenced to the last degree by the brute clamour of a man, who dares to stigmatise the whole population of America AS TRAITORS AND BLASPHEMERS I! PORTABLE L A BORATORT.—The attention of the public bas of late years been directed in a very powerful manner to the study of chemistry, and various efforts have been made to clear this popular and most important science of the many technical difficulties which have obviated its success. One of these, and, indeed, the greatest, may be found in the varied expenses to which the pursuit is subjected. The apparatus necessary for even a preliminary acquaintance with the science has hitherto been an almost insurmountable obstacle to its extension. Mr. Ede, therefore, who; in his Portable Lat-eretsrry, has -concen trated all that is requisite for performing a course of interesting experiments, and, indeed, to repeat those of the lecturer, for the small (miga of £1 Ils. 6.1., has conferred an invaluable favour on society, and effected that which we have long wished to see accomplished towards the practical attainment of chemical know ledge. This gentleman, we are happy to say, has met with such success in the sale of his laboratories, as to induce him to turn his attention to an enlarged cabinet, which, we understand, he has ready for almost immediate publication, with considerable improvements and additional apparatus to facilitate the opera tiona of the student. From what we have seen of it, though not a Sir H. Davy, we do nut hesitate to say, it will prove exceed ingly well calculated for the dilitante amateur, and we sincerely' trust not only the chemical world, but every friend to the ad vancement of science will patronize the undertaking in the manner it so richly deserves. ANONYMOUS SL A NDER.—The gentleman who has been ano nymously, impertinently, and very unjustly charged with hav ing been the author of an anonymous letter to a member of the Rev. Mr. Jones's congregation, takes this medium, the only one open to him of snaking the denial, of declaring upon his honour as a man, and his faith as a Christian, that the imputa tion is altogether unfounded. While tendering this assurance to his anonymous slanderer, the gentleman earnestly recom mends him, more in pity than in anger, to desist from his lire sent course, and cease to annoy, by insinuations as false as they are unjust, arid therefore undeserved. Not knowing, and in deed not caring who his anonymous correspondent may be, the gentleman further recommends hint to study more attentively the text with which he closed, that piece of gratuitous imperti nence, his letter—" And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business." After the unqualified denial here given, the advertiser expects, if his accuser have any honourable or gentlemanly feeling in the composition of his character, that he will have the manliness to call at the STAN DA RD-OFFICE 4 and pay the expense of making this communication. If he adopt this course,it will be taken as a retractation of,and as an apology for the accusation.—London-road, Dec. 7, 1833.

BOLL'S COURT—Fa/DAY. ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. THE 'CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL. Mr. Bickersteth appeared iu this instance on the part of the Attorney-General and the same persons .(Mr. T. Joyous and T;Bolton). who were relators in the application made last week for an injunction to restrain the Corporation of Liverpool from mortgaging a portion of their property in order to make a per manent endowment for their clergy. That application having failed, the present was made in order that the court might re strain the corporation from investing the £105,0q), which it had partly raised and proposed wholly to raise for that purpose, in the hands of the Grand Junction'ltailroad Company. such an investment, the learned counsel contended, was wholly impro vident in any point of view, while it appeared quite inconsistent with the. terms of the contact between the company and the corporation. This great amount of money was to be placed in the keeping of the former, upon condition that it should be re paid upon a short notice. What, iu fact, did a railroad company do with its funds, or for what purpose did it raise money upon loan? Surely for none other than immediate outla). It might not be in a situation to repay at all when called on—it might be in embarassments which would ultimately lead to litigation. No one had ever heard of such a security being taken by trustees in the expenditure of trust property. It was therefore hoped that his Honour would here decisively interfere, and order the money, when raised by the Corporation of Liverpool. to' be paid into the hands of the Accountant-General, to be administered under the direction of the court, until its ultimate investment should be determined upon. Mr. Booth followed on the same side. Mr. Pemberton, on the part of the Corporation of Liverpool, observed that he did not well know what could be the object of this application, or what the parties to it could mean in wishing to have the fund in question administered by that court. The case had, he should have conceived, been disposed of by the late decision. He thought that the nature of that decision could not be too clearly understood, to the effect that his Honour did not decide in any degree against either party, but, resolved upon a balance of inconveniences, came to the conchision to leave the case open for a future decision. Were it now to be in the slightest degree prejudged against the corporation, it was not that one, but a hundred applications of the kind would be made to the court. Its proceedings were closely watched ; and if they should appear at all inculpative of the Corporation of Liverpool, there was scarcely a corporation in the country against which there would not be found dissatisfied individuals to file informa -1 tions. This proceeding had already been attended with great inconvenience to the parties against whom it had been directed. It had stopped the raising of the loan on the part of the Corpo ration of Liverpool, and rendered it doubtful whether it could be at all effected. Was it, he would ask, to be borne that two persons not immediately interested should be enabled to pro duce such a tesultby an ill-grounded proceeding ? Taking the Corporation of LiOerpool as a trustee, and the inhabitants of Liverpool to be cestui-que-trusts, on what principle could two of the latter, out of so large a number, be permitted to assume the right of entering on so important a proceeding in the name of the whole ? The Attorney-General could not have been de facto a party to the application, which he could not, upon a true statement of facts, have countenanced. As to the security offered by the Railroad Company, it was as good as could be desired. There was the security of an income of £3,000 a-year derived from the Birmingham and Warrington Railroad; there was the security of lands purchased at a price of £165,000, and of works upon which £516,000 had been expended. There was, moreover, a right to.4iny one call of 10 per cent. on the proprie tary of the company included in the contract in favour of the corporation. That call alone would produce £lOO,OOO, and all these securities were given for but £105,000. Mr. Turner followed on the same side. Mr. Bickersteth replied shortly. His Honour observed, that in „uiving his judgment in regard to the injunction lately applied for, he had intended to abstain from giving any opinion respecting the rights of the parties. The sole point which he had decided was that, under the provision of the municipal reform act, the court had jurisdiction to interfere. As regarded the effect of the appeal to the King in Council, or what might be eventually decreed on the subject of dispute, he had abstained then, as he would on this occasion, from express ing any opinion. A jurisdiction he had considered to be vested in the court, to be exercised according to its discretion, and in his discretion he had determined so to deal with the case before him as to leave the interests of both parties open for a future consideration. He should, therefore, continue to look upon the subject in that point of view. Inasmuch, however, as. the legislature had left in the hands of the old corporation their pro perty in the interim between the passing of the act and its coming into execution. subject to the restraint of that court, he should consider whether what was intended to be done with the funds in question was calculated to endanger them and decide upon what was necessary for their security. Ile sliould, there fore, read over the acts establishing the Railroad Company, and the affidavits in the case, and give his judgment to-morrow (this day.) SATURDAY. His Honour now stated that this case had stood over from the preceding day, that he might have an opportunity of examining the Acts of Parliament upon the subject, with the view of ascer taining whether or not the Grand Junction Railway was a good and sufficient security for the investment of the money in ques tion. He would give no opinion as to the title of the company, except in so far as it was affected by these acts. The only ques tion for his decision was, had such a case been made out as would warrant the court in granting the injunction prayed for in the information. He had looked into the Acts of Parliament upon the subject. These were four in number, but he considered that two of them only were applicable to the present case, which were 3. William IV., passed in 1833, and 4. William IV., pas sed in 1831. his Honour then made some remarks upon the various funds of which the Corporation of Liverpool were made the trustees by the former of these acts. By its 113th clause they had a power to raise a sum of £316,000 and in the 114th clause there was a provision giving great security to the lenders of money upon the funds of the corporation. This clause gave au thority to two justices of the peace, in the event of the payment of interest being delayetl for twenty-one days beyond the time of its being due, to appoint a receiver of the corporation funds for behoof of the persons making the complaint. In the second of the statutes above alluded to there were two sections, 2(X.land 201, which 'night appear to affect, in some degree, the security of those who lent money upon the Grand Junction Railway, which formed a large part of the corporation property. Section 200 provided, that if the railway were not coucluded within ten. years front the passing of the act, all the powers which the cor poration had as trustees under the act should cease and deter mine ; and section 201 provided, that if the railway were aban doned by the proprietors, or ceased to be used as a railway for the space of five years, the lands which had been purchased for its formation should become vested in the persons of the propri etors of the grounds on each side of the railway—one-half going to the proprietors upon the one vide, and the other half to the proprietors upon the other side. He did not apprehend, how ever, that there was the slightest chance that either of the events contemplated by these would happen; and he accordingly con sidered that the Grand Junction Railway formed a good and valid security for the investment of money by lenders.—ln these circumstances, his Honour considered that the persons laying the information had failed to make out such a case as would warrant the court in granting the injunction prayed for. —The injunction was accordingly dismissed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-FRIDAY. LIBEL. WATTS v. FRASER AiiD ANOTHER.—The Attorney-General in stating this case said that he had the honour of appearing for Mr. Alaric Watts, a gentleman of high literary attainments, who had to complain of a libel published by the defendants in a work of great celebrity, Fraser's Magazine. The defendant pre tended to make extracts from the different Annuals, and to in duce the readers of Fraser's Magazine to believe that these were correct extracts from these publications. If these extracts had been true ones, and had been commented upon with severity, he should not have complained; but, instead of that, they were complete fallacies. He would now give them a few specimens of the manner in which this criticism was carried into execution. It commenced with " These elegant publications have just ' reached us." It then proceeded with genuine extracts from the Forget-me-Not and Friendship's Offering. It proceeded : "We now come to The Literary Souvenir—a publication which once attracted no inconsiderable share of attention, but which, from some cause or other, has fallen off in popular estimation during the last four years. It forms no part of our duty to account for the capriciousness of taste, nor are we called on to censure our beloved public for its mode of distributing patronage."." We think it due to the editor of The Literary Souvenir to state that his annual is, in every . point of view, as deserving of encourage inent now as it was originally."—" One of its features is espe cially worthy of commendation—namely, its spirited translaTions from the living languages."—" Among these translations we cannot refrain from quoting the subjoined extracts, taken as they are from the posthumous works of a Polish poet, whose successful efforts in the Magyar language were long since no ticed by Dr. Bowring and ourselves. It may be in the recol lection of our readers, that Quaffypunchnvies,the poet in question, died young—not, however, till he had given abundant promise of a most brilliant future ;" and then it gave an extract from this supposed poem, alleged falsely to have been taken from The Literary Souvenir; but these pretended extracts were not so absurd as to render it impossible to suppose that they might have been real ones, but they were dull, stupid, and vapid, and no person would think of buying a publication which contained such trash. The learned gentleman then proceeded to read some poetical extracts from the magazine, which he contended were injurious to the literary character of Mr. Watts, and, moreover, were not to be found in The Literary Souvenir. He then referred to the picture of Mr. Watts, in Fraser's "Gallery of Literary Characters," in which the plaintiff was designated as "Alaric Attila Watts, editor of The Literary Soutenir," and represented him with a picture under each arm, flying down stairs with caution depicted on his countenance. Ti . ) show the libellous character of this portrait he read the accompanying pen and ink sketch of the life and character of the original as it ap peared in the June number of Fraser's Magazine. Evidence was their given of the publication of the libel and of the different newspapers and other periodical works of which Mr. Watts was either the proprietor, or to which he was a literary contributor. Mr. Erle addressed the jury for the defendants. One of them, he said, was the editor of Fraser's Magazine, the other the publisher, an industrious tradestnan, far removed from the feuds which irritated literacy men, who had no connexion with the in diting of these libels, and clearly was not guilty of any inten tion of injuring Mr. Watts's character. His learned friend had not shown that Mr. Watts bad ever demanded of Mr. Frazer that the author should be given up, and he was instructed to say that Mr. Watts had never asked for the author, but had re sorted to this action against Mr. Moyes, as well as against the proprietors, together with the costs of this action. His learned friend had advocated the criticism of any works that came be fore the public and had deprecated the idea of putting any re straint upon the criticism of public works. There was no more intention against the Literary Souvenir than against other An nuals ; there was no malice against the proprietor, and no in tention to do him any harm. But it was a parody turning the articles into ridicule, and offered to Mr. Watts a certain style which he might improve upon in future. If they looked at the article itself, they would find that the introduction clearly showed it was a fanciful representation of the different authors of Fraser's Magazine, some playing at back-gammon, and then a wager is laid, and two of them, "Mr. Barry Cornwall" and " The Man of Genius," go out of the room to write articles on the annuals, which they called rubbish—clearly upon the face of it, intending to be a mere fanciful production, a mere jest ; and the Literary Souvenir was handled just the same as all the others. Barry Cornwall's article is then given, and afterwards that of the Man of Genius. The editor of the Forget-Me-Not is then brought forward -- " Now the moon pours down her light ! Now the watching stars burn dearer! This festive hail's a sacred shrine, And thou'rt the Saint, Madeira !" His learned friend said this was intended to prevent the sale of the work—it was no such thing. They (the counsel) were accustom-, ed to look at every thing in a'serious way ; .their duties accustom ing them to examine upon oath, they took everything as sacred. The learned counsel quoted other articles from the criticism `heated Annuals," to prove that The Souvenir had not been with greater severity than its euntetnporaties of the same class. In speaking of damages, he would ask what claim had Mr. Watts to any privilege here, as he was wont to utter slander upon slander and abuse upon abuse? If it turned out that Mr. Watts had mixed the bitterest gall he could get together, and publish the grossest libels he thought his leaders would read against Player's Magazine, was he then in a situa tio uto make such a complaint as he had that - day made? Mr. Erie then proceeded to read a great many articles in various publications containing attacks on Fraser's Magazine, from the year 1832 to 1831, and called evidence to prove the connexion of Mr. Watts with the papers in which they appeared. Lord Dentnait concluded his charge to the jury by saying that the evidence offered 10 show that Mr. Watts had libelled Mr. Fraser had altogether failed. The jury would, therefore, consider what was the natural injury such a work would sus tain, and give what they thought fair damages against the per sons who had inflicted - upon the plaintiffs this injury. The jury having retired for about a quarter of an hour re turned a verdict for the defendants on the first count, as they did not consider the publication in November, 1834, to be a libel, and for the plaintiff on the second count—Damages, £l5O. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-SATURDAY TA lIPLEG, CLERK V. BLABY. LIBEL-Mr. Sergeant Wilde stated the plaintiff's case, who is the clergyman of the parish of Fiore, in the county of North amptonshire. The defendant is a respectable farmer residing in that neighbourhood. A series of libels of the grossest de scription bad been published in the Northaandon Free Press on 'the plaintiff, and the defendant being . the author of them, the action was brought to remove the injurious imputations cast upon the character of the plaintiff. The libel complained of insinuated that the plaintiff was illegitimate, and that he had given "a new version of the list of voters," by having "muti lated it by a sort of clerical grammatical dexterity, converting the plural into the singular, and allowing voters mho have from two to nine houses only one house." The libel also doubted the purity of the plaintiff's religious and moral conduct, liken ing him to Judas, and pointing him out as a hypocrite, and charging, him with being "a justice of the pe4ce, a turnpike road-commissioner, a licensed gaine-ki11 , , , r, a hark-aivay fox hunter, and lastly a parson." The publication of the libel, together with a great number of others contained in placards published by the defendant, having been proved, Mr. Sergeant Adams, for the deendant, addressed the court, led evidence to how that the plaintiff had also published l a it i M i t l qually virulent in reply to those of the defendant. The nature of this evidence will be collected from the reply of Mr. Sergeant Wilde who said that, although he felt it his duty to offer souse observations to the jury on the evidence offered on the part of the defendant, he would abstain from uttering a word that could mislead them. Ile was utterly as tounded at the vituperation in which his learned friend . had indulged in opening the defendant's case, and could not under stand why such uncalled-fur contumely had been levelled at the plaintiff. 'A libel, which was calculated to disgrace and hunt from society a highly respectable clergyman, was said by his learned - friend to be all nonsense. The church was now the subject of the most exci4g discussion; and if it were intended . to make a run against clergyman, a better course could not be adopted for the purpose than representing him as a tory, and charging him with smuggling tory votes on the registration list. The allegation of midnight destruction hid altogether failed, and so had every other part of the defence. The plaintiff challenged full investigation, and his mostnnxious desire was that his whole conduct should undergo an impartial examina tion. It was in this spirit, and from this wish, that the present appeal was made to a jury of his country. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—darnages 40s. They also found a verdict for the plaintiff on the other issues. SHERIFFS' COURT, FarDAT. Cerra. CON.—HO'DGES V. WALSH.—At this court, on Friday, an action was brought by the former to recover damages for criminal conversation. The damages were laid at three thou sand pounds. Mr. Phillips stated that Mr. Hodges was an eminent insurance broker, and Mr. Walsh had been at the bar about four or five years. Mr. Hodges was married to the lady in 1818, and till the time of the fatal discovery livid on terms of mutual love and affection. Mr. Walsh was introduced to them about seven years ago, and from that time became upon such intimate terms with them that Mr. Hodges had no company at home, nor engaged in any parties of pleasure in which Mr. Walsh did not accompany them. They were in the habit of making excursions to various parts of the continent together. Feeling as he (Mr. Phillips) did for Mr. Hodges, he could not but say that he felt for Mr. Walsh, who was struggling with a precarious profession, in which by this unfortunate transaction he might be ruined, his prospects in life blasted, and his charac ter injured. It was not his wish, therefore, to press hard on Mr. Walsh, and he hoped the jury in giving their verdict would accompany mercy with justice • but it must be recollected that they had a duty to perfotin to Mr. Hodges. The fact of adultery was not denied. _ _ Mr. Charles Heathcoat Tatum, Mr. Richard Jones Lane, and Mr. Francis Neale Walsh (cousin to the defendant} were then examined. The two former spoke to the happy manner in which the plaintiff and his wife lived; that the lady was about thirty-three years of age, and handsome • and that Mr. Walsh, who was of the same age, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Hodges a:goad, and was treated by the husband with unbounded confi dence. Mr. Neale Walsh said the defendant's private property produced about £2OO per annum; he did not include in that his professional income. Mr. Clarkson addressed the jury for the defendant. He was anxious to have it thoroughly understood that there was no proof of any criminality between the defendant and Mrs. Hodges up to the time when Mr. and Mrs. Hodges separated. It was, he considered, rather unguarded in the plaintiff to take a young unmarried man into his family; and the result had been that, after the separation, the plaintiff's wife had gone to reside with the defendant, and the jury were now called together to award a sum of money to the plaintiff out of the defendant's £2OO a- ear. He was sure, in estimating the conseqUences of the in jury, the paily would consider all the circumstances, and the want of proof that the defendant to effect the seduction had used those arts which were charged against others who were placed in a similar situation. _ Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell, in his address to the jury, ob served that the scantiness of the defendant's income was not to influence the jury, for the plaintiff was entitled to a fair com pensation, and the defendant must pay in person if he could not in purse. The jury retired to consider of their verdict, and after remain ing in consultation about half an hour, returned a verdict for the plaiutiff—Damages, one thousand two hundred pounds. . UNION HALL.—TucsnAv. ROBBERY * OF. JEWELS AND PLATE IN WALES.—James Dins dale, Henry 1.1141, Dikisd-sle, and Eli4.l.)crh Dinsdate r Lh, wife of the former, were brought before Mr. Trail', charged on sus picion with stealing jewellery, plate, and other articles, to the amount of £IO,OOO, the property of a lady named Salebv, resid ing within a short distance of Milford-haven, Pembrokeshire. Mr. Fitch, a solicitor, stated that on or about the 11th of Sep tember, the complainant's house, situated as above, had been ransacked of jewellery, consisting of diamonds, pearls. and other costly articles, together with massive plate, estimated at a low calculation to be of the value of £lO,OOO. The prisoner, James Dinsdale, is nearly allied to the complainant; had spent some portiOn of the last summer at her residence in Wales; and soon after his departure she came up to - town leaving the house keeper and her husband in care of the house. During the com plainant's absence, the whole of the jewellery and plate, with the exception of a small portion, was taken away ; and after an investigation into the circumstances subsequently to her return to Wales, and the discovery of the robbery, it was ascertained that James Dinsdale had been at the house in the interval, and from the inquiries into the affair on the spot, he was the party upon whom suspicion rested, which was strengthened from the fact of his keeping out of the way snort after the robbery had been effected. James Dinsdale was apprehended at Eltham, in Kent, and in his possession were fouud two valuable diamond brooches, identified as forming part of the stolen property. •The other two prisoners (man and wife) were subsequently taken into custody, and in a house within a short distance of Oxford, which they had a short time previously taken of a chemist and druggist, named Randall, ostensibly to open it as a shop, but in reality to deposit the stolen property in, jewellery and plate be longing to the complainant, amounting in value to nearly £2OOO, besides 300 sovereigns, were discovered. A great portion of this property, recovered by Inspector Fagan, assisted by Hughes, the beadle of St. George's, was produced before the magistrate, and consisted of diamond rings, bracelets, ear-rings, and other articles of jewellery, besides a quantity of massive plate. Mr. Traill inquired of the prisoners whether they were in clined to say anything in reference to the alleged charge ? Henry Early Dinsdale said that the two brooches in his pos session were given him by his brother; he had no knowledge of the robbery.- James Dinsdale confirmed these assertions, say ing that his brother did not know from whence the brooches he had given him came, and he ought not to be detained. He wished for time to obtain proof to establish his innocence.— They were both remanded. LAMBETH-STREEET, WEDNESDAY. THE CUSTOMHOUSE ROBBERY.—William Jourdan, Thomas Sullivan, and Jeremiah Sullivan, three fashionably-dressed young men, two of whom are members of the "swell mob," were charged before Mr. Walker, two of them with being con cerned in the extensive robbery at the Customhouse in 'Novem ber, 1834, and stealing therefrom nearly £6OOO in bank-notes and gold; and also with being concerned in breaking into the warehouse of Messrs. Hall and Co., on the Customhouse-quay, in February last, and steeling therefrom jewels to the amount of upwards of £7O(XI belonging to a foreign countess, which were deposited there, besides a quantity of watches and other pro- Serty. James Lea, the o ffi cer, stated that he apprehended Thos. ullivan and W. Jourdan at the Ited Lion, King-street, Blooms bury, where they had been lodging. While he was handcuffing Sullivan the two other prisoners entered the house, and were secured. On Jourdan was found a receipt for £lOO, lodged at the banking-hause of Messrs. Weston and Young.; and on Sul livan two blank checks of the banking house of Messrs. Glyn,, HalifaX,Mills, and Co. After Lea had hanciaTilred idle prisoner Sullivan, the latter told him that he should never have done so had he had a pistol in his possession. As there was no charge whatever against Jer. Sullivan, he was ordered td be discharged ; the other two were remanded. Jourdan made application to the magistrate to order the restoration of a gold watch and ap pendages which Lea had taken from him, and a Eli/ bank-note wh:eli had been taken from his wife, but this was refused. It was stated that the prisoners have returned to this country within the last two years from America with a most extensive booty, having succeeded while there in breaking into two or three bank ing-houses. Mr. M`Ctillagh, F.T.C.D. has been appointed to the Profes sorship of Mathematics hi Trinity College, vacant by the resig nation of Dr. Sadler. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT BY FIRE.—On Sunday evening, between ten and eleven o'clock, the family of A. Bevan, Esq., residing in Gower-street, Bedford-square, were thrown into considerable excitement and alarm by the discovery of Miss Williams, a young lady, 22 years of age, sister to Mrs. Bevan, being burnt in a dreadful manner. It appears that the unfor tunate young lady was reaching over the chimney-piece, forthe purpose of taking down a picture. While so engaged, her dress caught fire, and she was almost immediately enveloped in flames. The unhappy sufferer ran into the ball, screaming for assistance ; the footboy, a lad not more than 17 years of age, with great presence of mind seized a great coat that w as hang ing up in the hall and instantly enveloped Miss 'Williams, by which means he succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until she was burnt in a shocking manner. Mr. Ireson, a sur geon, was immediately sent for, who applied the usual reme dies in such lamentable cases, and considerable hopes are en tertained of her recovery. REVENUE DERIVED FROM THE SALE OF QUACK MEDICINES. —The revenue of this country is said to be annually aided to upwards of £lOO,OOO sterling, by the sale of " patent." or quack medicines! Whatever actuated former, it is absurd to suppose that modern legislators can be so ignorant of human nature as to expect any other than the well-known effects arising from the practical working of stamp duties on quack medicine. The duty mainly circulates each nostrum into notoriety, and pro cures for it " a name." In England, which a noted Charletan styled his " best nurse," venders most philoso_phically advertise their specifics as " established medicines." Were this degrad ing item of the revenue annually expended by government in prizes, burseries, &c., for the promotion of legitimate medicine, or voted towards the erection of national !hospitals, the credit of Great Britain, for civilization, would not be detracted from. Upon every principle,. particularly that of compera ' ation recog nised by Archdeacon Paley, such an appropriation of this tax, if to be continued,—and, to a certain extent, a " discerning public" will be quacked,—it would be strictly equitable in the way of reprisals, and would exercise a redeeming influence upon British medicine and surge Elenieets of Bedside Afedicinc, by J.

New York journals have been received to the November, and the important question they all ask, "when is the war to begin ?" None of them seem to entertain the slightest doubt but that war is inevitable. Some of them indeed express alarm, and profess themselves unable to state any of the reasons for this inevitable war; but' none of them goe. the length of denying the warlike tendency of the go' vernments.of France and the United States. The policy of the war is another question. We do not choose to discus's.ais at present. The situation - of the parties offers no alternative but that of conflict. Let "us put the case in the most homely and intelligi ble Tight. M. JENA, a French general of approved cou rage, has lost one thousand francs at a Parisian gaming table, to citizen NUTMEGS, of Timberland, a banker by profession, in the City of New York. M. JENA has a sort of flitting and dreamy notion that he was cheated out of he said francs by false dice or cards properly doctered for The purpose. Still the debt is a debt of honour,and al though he demurs to the payment on the ground that he has been cheated by NUTMEGS, he at length makes LIP his mind to pay it and have done with the affair. He is actually engaged in writing a cheque for the money when he is visited by his friend Colonel EUAPEs who asks him " have you heard the news ?" "What hews ?" "Why, that Citizen NUTMEGS has stated on the Bourse, in the bearing of numerous friends, that if JENA. do not pay him . the thousand francs before ten o'clock this evening, he will call him out to-morrow morning." The Frenchman drops the pen, coolly tears the cheque to pieces, walks three times up and down his apartments and replies—" So be it l—magnifique I fire ! peace! cha rity I pistols !—if that be the case, Monsieur DREAM I must fight first, - and pay afterwards !" Now this is precisely the case at issue between the go" vernment of France and the United States. JONATHAN has played the bully rather glaringly, and with a degree of insolence natural, we admit, to his cha racter and his defective education, but sadly revolting to good manners. He has said in his chop-house parlia ment, and without thinking that walls have ears, that if France won't pay, he will compel her to pay! France answers, "we are willing to pay, but we will not pal under threat, or by compulsion at the point of the bay onet. We are bullied—we are insulted—we are me naced in the sight of all Europe—and, come what may the menace must be withdrawn, the vapour brushed away , and an ample apology tendered, before we pay down a single sous." This is a delightful state of things ! Governor JACK SON will make no apology, and the people of the United States seem to sanction him in his obSab*. 'He will make no concession whatever : on the contrary, we find in the official journal of the government, the Wash ington Globe, of the 13th November, an article which we subjoin, and which puts an end to all amicable negocia tion, and insults the King of the French in the most open and galling manner. Citizens, read for yourselves! The first part is a recapitulation of that portion of the treaty which recognizes the debt, and the remainder speaks the sentiments of General JACKSON and his ad herents Translation of the ratification of the treaty of July 4th, 1831, by the King of the French. We having found the above convention agreeable in all and earth of the dispositions therein contained, do declare by our selves as well as by our heirs and successors, that it is accepted, approved, ratified, and confirmed ; and by these presents sign ed by our hand, we do accept, approve, ratify, and confirm it- Promising, on the faith and word of a King, to observe it, and to cause it to be observed inviolably, without ever contravening it, or suffering it to be contravened, directly or indirectly, for any cause and under any pretence whatever. In faith whereof, we have caused our seal to be affixed to these presents. Given at the Royal Palate, the thirty-first of August, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-one. By the King. LOUIS PHILIPPE. HORACE SEB ASTIANI. Let us suppose That the first violation of this .most sacred and sovereign act was excusable, upon the ground that the Cham bers refused to appropriate—let us suppose that the delay of the .* King, in the first instance, in bringing the subject before the Chambers, and subsequent postponement of the fulfilment of 14f- Serurier's promise—that the subject should be brought to the consideration of the new Chambers at the earliest possible moment—fully accounted for ; what is to satisfy the world at large now, when the moue, is actually voted, for the continued violation of that covenant on the part of the King, which he has so solemnly vowed, on the " word of a King," shall be in violable—shall be " observed without contravening, or suffering it to be contravened, directly or indirectly, for any cause or on' der any pretence whatever?" The world will say, 'whether the King, who has the Presi dent's express declaration, that no menace was meant by the message—whether the King, who has Mr. Livingston's several letters, disavowing for his government the false construction put upon the message by the factions at home and abroad, to torture it into insult—whether the King, who has already received through the same channels whence the message reached hire, the President's official approbation of Mr. Livingston's official disavowal, twice repeated in his communications, does not, in continuing to withold the payment of the indemnity, upon the plea that this point is not sufficiently explained, contravene the treaty, not for any cause which he is pledged not to allow to operate, but for a mere pretence, which the terms of his ratifi cation still more emphatically forbid. The public will be able to decide hereafter, if they cannot now, what the promises and good faith of certain Kings are worth They assuredly are very slow in fulfilling them, compared with Republican Presidents. The ratification by the President wag as follows : "Now, therefore, be it known that 1, Andrew Jackson, Prod• dent of the United States of America, have caused the said con• vention to be made public, to the end that the same and every clause and article thereto may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens therseM • In consequence of this, the President and Congress at circa passed the necessary laws, giving France great privileges a nd benefits under the treaty, which she has been enjoying ever since, while not a dollar, has yet been paid to us. "Look on this picture and on this"—Republican faith and promises in America, contrasted with kingly faith and promises' in France. In the above extract, we beg leave to call attention to' the following sentence :—" The public will he able to decide hereafter, if they cannot now, what the promises and good faith of CERTAIN KINGS are worth." This, we say, is a wilful, studied, and deliberate insult to France, and it is more than this—it is an insult, and' intended to he an insult to all the kings in Europe- Under these circumstances, is there any chance of the dollars being paid without an apology, which is not now to be expected, or war A pamphlet, just issued from the press, has by accideo come into our hands. It is entitled " Why is•PoperY progressing 1 0 " and it purports to be written by one " DAVID THOM, minister of Bold-street Chapel, Lis;er pool." We certainly have some dim recollections of Rota Trtom ; but that he had a local or professional habitation in "Bold-street, Liverpool," we learnt for the first time on Saturday last., Deeming him, therefore, to be not 8.1. together an unknown person, and conceiving that bit opinions might be in unison with some particular class of religionists, we were rather curious in wading through' his publication. We have done so most attentively. We have done, at a late hour too, what few of his followers, we'suspectr can say of even his best homilies delivered from his pul pit—we have read his pamphlet, from beginning.to end , without falling asleep ! This might easily be accounted for on strictly philoso phical principles; for, serious though the subject be, Mr' THOM- has treated it in a manner which is irresistibly
