As to the parties who are put forward as TARGETS
for prosecution we consider them as resembling
strongly the victims who are induced by absolute
hunger to occupy Carlile's mart for blasphemy, with
this great difference, that in this instance poverty,
hunger, and distress, cannat be pleaded.—We have
long kmown some of these parties as respectable
tradesmen, and though we would not breathe a
censure on their private life if we were in possession
of facts to prove it, we may be allowed to imitate
their intrusion into the sanctum-hanciorum of domestic
life to declare our belief that some of them discharge
the duties of husband and father most meritoriously
—yet for the sake of gain, of patronage, and noto-
riety do they allow their names to stand forward to
skreen some important reseal, who, unhurt, may
covertly renew those attacks upon private virtue,
which have, through the columns of the John Bulb
long disgraced the Press of England. These three
persons are already in prison fur a libel on the late
amiable wife of Sir John Wrottesley, merely be-
cause they refused to give up the author of the vile,
the unfounded lie, the base calumniation of the
mausoleum's occupant—we know the reptile—and
though a Secretary in a high official deortment, we
can assure him, that it' the tools °fills infamy and ma-
lignity should at last see and take the only path
which can reconduct them to the esteem of honest
men, by denouncing this heretofbre hidden Devil,
not all the powers his influence could command
would shield him from the punishment he so justly
deserves—while, however, he remains still in con-
cealment we have no doubt he will enjoy the fiend-
like conviction that he contributed to the efforts of
those of whom her Nlajestv exclaimed—" And now
at last they have destroyed me.

Saumur, which the French papers state to have
been the seat of a conspiracy against the Govern- I
meat, was lately exposed to destruction by tire. The
Journal of the Maine and Loire says,—" A confla-
gration, on the cause of which opinions are not
decided, has spread consternation through the town
of Sauratir. It broke out on the evening or the
18th uit. in the upper story of the residence of M.
Petard, an eminent merchant. Alarm soon became
general, as it spread rapidly, and assumed a most
appalling aspect. The civil and military authorities,
the officers and students of the Military Colleges,
and inhabitants ot% all classes, were active in their
efforts to stop the progress of the devouring clement,
in which they did not succeed until midnight. Five
persons perished, and tour were grievnusly, and, it is
toured, mortally wounded on this calamitous occa-

Sion."
The reports of a revolution and massacres at Con-
stantinople appear to have prevailed to an extraor-
dinary extent on the Continent. The German
netvsmongers, who have a predeliction for the won-
derful, the horrible, and the mysterious, have been
particularly active in circulating dreadful rumours on
this subject. The liashburgh Correspeuket, in a
letter from Vienna, dated Dee. 16. tells the following
story :—" Constantinople is no more! A conflagra-
tiun tar more terrible, of longer duration, and more
destructive, than the great fire of Moscow, has re-
duced this capital to ashes. The magnificent church
of St. Sophia, the Sultan's Seragiio, with all its
beaulies, even the arsenal has become the prey of
the flames. The Grand Seignior and his son Alxhil
Nlirzad have been murdered, us have also the Al
the Reis .Etfentli, the Capudan Pushaw, and many
other great officers of the Empire. All these atro-
cities and devastations are the work of the Janissa-
ries, who have taken to themselves a remote quarter
of the city which was saved from the flames. One
of the most determined of the leaders an Orta of
the Janissaries, is made Sultan. The foreign Am-
bassadors had the good fortune to escape in ►one to
Bujukdere and Scutari. All the Greeks and Franks
were murdered : and thousands of men, who are
robbed of their property, roam about the neighbour-
ing country. These horrors were accompanied by
an earthquake in the environs of Constantinople,
which swallowed up towns and villages."
Mr. Bustard and Mr. Fuller have sunk their rents
nearly one half, not contenting themselves with a
remission of '2O or 25 per cent., and leaving the remit
the same. This is a manly and an honourable mode
of meeting the distresses of the teat tat•
