SALUTARY CAUTION.—It it should ever fall to
the lot of youth (says Sir Walter Scott in his Autobiography)
to peruse these pages, let such a reader remember that it is
with the deepest regret that I recollect in my manhood the
opportunities of learning which I neglected in my youth ; that
through every part of my literary career I have felt pinched
and hampered 'ay ma own ignorance ; and that I would at this
moment give half the reputation I have had the good fortune
to acquire; if, by doing so, I could rest the remaining part
upon a sound foundation of learning and science.
A letter of the 15th inst., front Vienna alludes to.a
report that the young and accomplished Italian singer, Ma-
demoiselle Tadolini, had thrown herself from the window of a
third floor into the canal at Venice,- and had been drowned.
betters, however, which had been received at Vienna from
Venice, make no mention of thin occurrence.—Trench Paper.
On Thursday an interesting-looking young man
stood up before Mr. Hall, and charged his father cvith having
stabbed him with a knife. The complainant stated, that on
the last Sunday Morning but two he took his breakfast in the
same apartment as his father, the latter sitting at a separate
table. During the whole of the meal his father kept cursing
him, and threatening hint With a lde, which he frequently
held over him, as if going to stab him. Having finished his
meal, he went out, and took a walk with a young friend of his.
He returned home to his dinner, which he ,ate very quietly,
his father again resuming his violent conduct towards him.
When he had done his dinner, he put his chair. into its place.
His father then got up and sharpened a knife, still cursing
him- most violently, and swearing that- he would stab him.
Just as be (complainant) was going nut, the defem'atit ran at
him, and with a knife,stabbed him in the side. -lie repeated
the blow two or three times, inflieting a huge gash on his chin,
and nearly cutting off his fore-finger. Mr. Hall asked the
complainant what led to the,quarrel. The latter declared that
he had never given any offence, but that his father hut always
behaved with great violence towiards him. About six months
before, he had stabbed him in the belly with a fork, .and then
inflicted a severe wound. The defendant Said his sari had
struck him with the poker, and they only wanted to get him
to prison that-they might seize upon his property. Mr. Hall
said he should certainly- have sent the prisoner to take his trial
at. the
,Sessions, but that he feared the yi,iung man could not
afford the expense of a prosecution. lie ordered that the pri-
soner should pay a fine of 51. and costs. In default to be com-
mitted for two months. He was further to find hail that lie
would keep the peace; with twenty-four hours' notice. —Lirer-

There is this important difference, among many
Omnium
those for the continuance, of Church-rates, that the
former arc spontaneous, and the latter are not. We
dare say that those who from factious or other
equally improper motives are opposed to the Minis-
terial measure, will not be willing to recog-
nise this distinction, which must, notwithstand-
ing, be carefully attended to by the rational and sober-
minded—by all, in short, of whatever party, who wish
to form a just estimate of the public opinion on this
highly interesting question. With politicians of this
cautious character, the great majority of the petitions
praying for the continuance of an impost which presses
on a large portion of the community with the twofold
burden of a civil and religious grievance, will have
little weight, because it is well known that the signa-
tures attached to them have been procured by the most
unjustifiable means. Instead of being the result
of consideration and reflection—instead of speaking
the sentiments and convictions of those in whose
names they are palmed off upon the Legislature
and the public—they are in reality nothing more
than the exponents of clerical intolerance, and we may
add short-sightedness. The parson of the parish taking
his cue- from his ecclesiastical superior, the Bishop,
preaches a sermon full of misrepresentations of
the intentions of the Government, and well-seasoned
with abuse of the Dissenters. The priest-ridden
people are told from that place, whence no-
thing but truthishould emanate, that the Churches
are to be either pulled down or allowed to
fall into decay, and that Popery is to be introduced as
the national religion, instead of the Protestant faith.
A petition is then concocted by the Reverend Gentle-
man, and hawked about the parish by him and his
Church-wardens, which the ignorant, the unwary, and
the dependent, are either betrayed or intimidated
to sign. Such is the way in which a great many of
the things jocosely called petitions are got up, and
we ask what value can be set upon them ? None
whatever—indeed, they rather tell against than for
the cause they are intended to uphold ; for they prove
the hopelessness of a cause that requires such means
of support. It appears, too, that with all this un-
due influence, numbers of these petitions are signed by
an exceedingly small number of persons—some by not
more than three or four—as that from Brornsgrove in
Worcester. Yet this counts as a petition against the
abolition of Church-rates

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1837.

Messrs. BA I NES and Sir WILLIAM MoLEswoßTtt
—the Member that is, and the Member that is to be:
for Leeds—made their triumphal entry into that town
on Monday last. They were received in the inos
enthusiastic manner by nearly fifteen thousand indi
viduals—anothcr signal proof of that re-action whic!
the Tories assure us is in prowess all over the country
At the public dinner which was given in honour o
these two s:aunch Reformers, the best possible feelin,:_
was evinced towards Ministers. Mr. BA IN ES said--

and his temarks on this suhjcet were rcceivcd wit
tmaninnus chce:ing—" I consider the present di
best Administration that ever governed this countr.
I do say that you shall search through our histor

from the earliest time to the present day, and yo:;
shall not find a Ministry which has done so much to
increase the happiness, and augment the proTerity
the people, as the Administration which now exists."
This is high praise, but not a Nifhit more so
than the objects of the Honourable Gentleman's
encomium deserve. The Melbourne Government—
though they are not without their defects—are, taken
as a whole, the best set of men that ever swayed di,:
destinies of England ; and did we need further proof
of this, we should find it in the deep, implacable, un-
dying hatred borne towards them by the Tories. Pray.
Heaven they may long continue in the full fruition► of
this hatred, for it is only to be eat by unceas-
ing attention to the best interests of the people !
Mr. BAINES went on to say, " Ministers have
given you several Bills of importance, and among
thew the most prominent, one for the abolition of
Church-rates. It depends upon you whether or no:
that measure is carried, for I know that the feeling of
the present Administration is this--,,hey say, we are
ready to fight the battles of liberty, and if the people
are ready to accompany us, we will go with them, and
conquer for them. If, on the contrary, the people arc
not so disposed ; if they choose to be bearded by
the Bishops ; if they choose to be outwitted by these
least trust-worthy of all public trustees ; if they
choose to submit to the domination of men like these
—let them submit to it, and pay the penalty of their
w.int of spirit and energy." We trust the people wili
bear these remarks in mind, for they are worthy of
their most earnest consideration. Ministers, we doubt
not, will stand firm to the cause of Reform ; but if
the people do not assist them, their firmness will be
wholly unavailing. The Tories, though shorn of much
of their former strength, are still powerful--first, by
reason of their close, compact union ; and, secondly,
by their under-hand influence at Court ; and it remains
with the people only to give Ministers the powers
necessary to enable them to put down this despotic
faction. It is the people, we repeat, who must do
the people's work. Let them then declare themselves
without delay on the subject of Church-rates,
Irish Municipal Reform, and those other valu-
able public measures which are now engrossing the
attention of Parliament. While they hesitate, the
Tories are regaining confidence. Look, for instance,
to the late conduct of the Bishops. What, but an
idea that the people were indifferent to the aboli-
tion of Church-rates, induced these sturdy Prelates
to take so decided a part against that important
measure ? They imagined that they might bully
with impunity ; now, therefore, is the time for the
country to say—Church-rates shall be abolished,
let the Espiscopal Bench and the whole Tory
Aristocracy say what they will Sir WILLIAM
MOLESWORTII, we are glad to see, expressed himself
equally with Mr. BA INES in favour of Ministers. He
said, " of the many Administrations which have
ruled over this country for a long series of years, not
one has been animated by such popular principles ;
not one has had so earnest and sincere a regard for
Government of Lord MEL-
should be borne in mind, is
a Whig partizan, but of an
cal Reformer. Sir W. MOLES-
expectant for place, but a dis-

It is gratifying to find that the advocates of Don
CARLOS are now showing symptoms of shame for the
kindly feeling they have hitherto displayed towards
him, and are becoming even more violent and more
opposed to his claims than those who have all along
denounced him as a bigot and a blood-stained pretender
to the Crown. The only evening organ of the party
makes no secret of the matter—it in fact denounces him

as a rebel—:t denies that he is KING either de facto or
de jztre—and applies to him the eleg,ant epithets of
" murderer" and " amateur-hangman." HOW does it
happen that this violent flame has been so long con-
cealed ? The Durango bloody decree is not an affair
of yesterday, nu were the Englishmen murdered on the

16th the only English victims of his savage policy.
Though he committed these crimes more covertly sine^
the mission of Lord ELIOT, it is well known that,
with his usual pet;idy, he adhered to the decree, and
that his followers took every opportunity of carrying it
into effect, knowing that they could not perform a more
agreeable service to their master. There must be some
other cause the❑ for the change. Is it because they
lied public feeling turned against them ?—because they

discover that Englishmen forget party politics ‘vhen
the laws of justice and humanity are openly violated
and openly vindicated—and that if he should ever sue•
cecd in his claims, Britons must regard as a national
degradation an alliance with a man who murdered in
cold blood so many of our brave countrymen ? Pos-
sibly they reckon on the speedy return of Sir ROBERT
PEEL to OATICC, and on his disavowal of the pretensions
of a Prince, who must be viewed by every humane
being with the utmost abomination and horror. But,
whatever may be the cause, every one, except perhaps
Mr.'GROVE PRICE, must rejoice at the result, and

fuel 'some alleviation for the stain inflicted on the coun-
try by his enthusiasm, displayed in a British House of
Commons, in favour of a man who has well met ited the
title of " the Monster of the Age." Will the worthy
senator, in revenge for such dtriertion, establish an oil-
nosition Evening .Journal to advocate the cause of Don
CA Rims and his twin brother in cruelty, Don M

GUEL ? if so our Contemporary has nothing to fear—
he wil gain friends without creating enemies, by for-
getting all political considerations in such a holy cause ;
and so far from encouragement being given, we believe
the time is at hand when those Morning Papers that
still support Don CARLOS in his atrocities will out
of defer.nice to public opinion be compelled also to
abandon him. How unfortunate these Tories are in

the Princes they take under their protection I The
Earl of ABERDEEN, some years ago, could not find
,words sufficiently strong to describe the enormities of
Don MIGUEL—he need not, however, be at a loss
now. The picture of Don CARLOS, drawn by the
Standard, will, with a little alteration, fit admirably.

The Standard and the Post have, by mutual con-
sent, retired from the field of controversy, each hav-
ing failed to convince the other of the fidelity of his
representation of the character and conduct of Don
CARLOS. The Standard withdrew last night ; but
the Post, acting on the shrewish principle of trying
the effect of a last word, after a most pathetic appeal to
the bygone reminiscences of an old ally, quitted the
ground this morning. Our fashionable Contemporary
has kept to the last within the nicest bounds of de-
corum, and even at parting only charges the Standard
with the ladies-maidish offence of " hard heartedness !"
Our readers may smile incredulously ; but to remove
their doubts we quote the whole of the passage in
which it occurs from the Post of to-day :

" We have no pleasure in pursuing a controversy which our
valued friend, the Standard, gives such clear indications of
.desiring to discontinue ; but the manner in which that
journal took leave last night of the question compels us,
most unwillingly, to say a few words more, in reply to its
hard-hearted denunciations of Don Carlos. We need not
tell the Standard that, from its previous station, the change
in its opinions has been a matter of severe commentary in
many parts of the metropolis, and a subject of surprise in
all. The supporters of the Government and the advo-
cates of revolution openly express their satisfaction ; while
the friends of order, the Conservatives, who have hitherto
looked upon our Contemporary with affection and re-
spect, are alarmed at this unlooked-for tone, and anxiously
demand why it is that the Standard has abandoned
them ? These are indications of public opinion which
no journal holding an elevated position can disregard. Our
Contemperary may not perceive them, and, with an excu-
sable self-love, deny that they exist ; but we will refer it
to the columns of the Morning Chronicle, The Sun, and
the Courier, for the proof of one part of that which we
allege ; and to the quantity of desponding Conservative
correspondence now before us for the accuracy of the
rest. Is not the fact that three Journals, the daily oppo-
nents of the Standard, and advocates for every measure
that it arraigns as fatal to the Constitution, are now over-
whelming it with approbation, sufficient to induce our friend
to re-consider the part that it has so unexpectedly taken ?
We admit that on great questions an independent opinion
must ever be expressed, and that principle is more power-
ful than party ; but why, may we inquire, has not this
principle been advocated in the same warm manner before ?'
It is not the principle that the Post objects to ; it is

the 'lard-hearted inconsistency of the Standard that 1
afflicts the compassionate bowels of our Contemporary.
How harrowing to the feelings of so refined and sensi
tive a mind must be the denunciation as a murderer of
a Prince, who, without being a Sovereign de facto or
de jure, merely kills every foreigner who falls into his
hands. But as the majority of the people of England
are not so tender of the character of princely rebels
and murderers as the Post, we recommend our Con._

temporary to prepare himself for worse treatment of
the Pretender—in words and deeds—than any he has
yet experienced. Don CARLOS stands branded as a

murderer—as a cool systematic murderer—in the face
of Europe. This is a damning fact which can ❑either
he controverted nor questioned. His hands are red
with blood—with the blood of Englishmen taken
without a weapon in their hands wherewith to de-
fend themselves. For the Post's allusion to ourselves,
and to two of our Liberal Contemporaries, we care
nothing. We are content with the approbation of the
majority of our countrymen, who see in our exertions
ample evidences of a desire to reform and consolidate
our institutions—not a wish to destroy them.

The letters from San Sebastian of the 24th
and from Bayonne of the 25th instant, do not
confirm the Carlist accounts received yesterday of
the defeat of ESPARTERO. On the contrary they
express the writer's conviction that no engagement
took place between the Infante Don SEBASTIAN'S
battalions and ESPARTERO'S division ; and that the
rumour of a defeat was fabricated in consequence of
the Commander•in-Chief's return to Bilboa on the
21st. A movement so unexpected, and which looked
so like a retreat, gave great umbrage to the QUEEN'S
friends ; but ESPARTERO excused himself by alleging

that he was obliged to re-open the road between Bilboa
and Durango to secure rations for his men, the Carlists
having, by dividing their forces into two bodies, cut
off the supplies which the villages adjacent to Du-
rango furnished to his advanced corps. It is further
affirmed in these letters that ESPAUTERO, instead of
having evacuated Durango and Elorrio, had given
orders for strengthening them by the erection of several
batteries, and that the works were not discontinued by
his return to Bilboa. We give these contradictory
rumours as they have reached us. We vouch not for
the truth of one of them.

A brig (name unknown) from Norway to Havre, is riding
off Aldborough, about 4 miles distant from the shore, timber
laden and water logged, was taken from the shore to assist
her into harbour.
The Express, Barrett, was wrecked in Sauger Bay, 9th inst.

A courier from Madrid arrived at the Spanish Con-
sulate at Bayonne on the 25th inst. with 750,000
francs for the use of the northern army. He started
from the capital on the 22d, after adviccs had been
received by the Government of the defeat of General
EVANS. The disastrous intelligence spread a gloom
over the city ; but the inhabitants conducted themselves
peaceably, and seemed satisfied that no blame was at-
tributable to the Ministers.

It is impossible to speak with any degree of con-
fidence of the future movements of the QUEEN'S
troops. General EVANS cannot take the field alone,
and SAARSFIELD and ESPARTERO are too jealous
of him to admit of a hope of cordial co-operation on

their part.
Lord JOHN HAN has addressed the following letter
to Lieutenant-Colonel OwEN, of the Royal Ma-
rines, who shared in the engagement of the 16th inst.
before Hernani:—

" Sir—l have very great satisfaction in bearing testi-
mony to the well-merited praise which your letter of the
17th bestows on the officers, non-commissioned officers, and
privates of the Royal Marine battalion under your com-
mand, for their gallantry and exemplary conduct on the
16th instant.

" The service rendered to her Catholic Majesty's army
on that day by the Royal Marine battalion was of the most
important nature, and could only have been effected by
such gallantry, steadiness, and determination as the batta-
lion displayed at the moment they were ordered to advance
for the protection of the artillery.
" A sense of public duty induces me thus publicly to
express to yourself, the officers, non-commissi ,ned officers,
and privates, my admiration of their conduct. And I will
ak'• ' d that since 1 have had the honour to guide the co-ope-
ration of his Majesty's naval forces on this coast, the zeal,
je,igment, and galantry with which you have carried my
orders into effect hare been to me a source of confidence
and sat isrdction.

" I am, Sir, y9ur obedient servant,
" JOHN HA 1", Co:Lnlod,re.
To Lieutenant-Colonel Owen, K.H.,

Commanding R. M. battalion."

The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have
been received. They contain
,no intelligence of the
slightest interest. The Opposition Journals continue
to speculate upon the probable changes in the
Cabinet, but their surmises are North nothing.
M. JARRET, a bookseller, was seized by the Police,
as one of eight hundred conspiratois who had sworn to
assassinate the -KING ; but the innocence of the ac-
cu6ed being proved, he was on Monday set at liberty.

CHURCH-RATE PETITIONS.-The Seventh Re-
port of the Committee on public petitions, delivered yesterday
morning, is almost entirely filled with the petitions presented
on the 3d instant for and against Church-rates. The total
number of petitions presented this session, to the 6th of March
inclusive, for the abolition of Church-rates, was 774; to
which 290,099 signatures were attached. The petitions
against the abolition to the same date were 679, with 53,928
signatures. It appears, therefore, that the average number of
sigl.itures to these petitions for the abolition of Church-rates
is 373, whilst the average number of signatures to those in fa-
vour of Church-rates is only 77. Among the latter petitions
we find some purporting to come from householders of diffe-
rent parishes, which have only 2,3, or 3 signatures ; and
one petition presented by Sir R. Peel, purporting to express town
the sentiments of the householders of the manufacturing
of Bromsgrove, in Worcestershire, has only four names at-
tached.

The two infant female orphans of the late Colonel
Brereton, who was sacrificed at Bristol, are about to sail the
latter end of this month for the Cape of Good Hope. These
children will carry with them the sword which was presented
to their father by the officers of the 49th regiment.
The truth of thy; observation that " men in a state
cf intoxication generally see double," was proved at the Olym-
pic theatre on Easter Monday. Two exquisites of the first
water were sitting together in the pit, at the time that Madame
Vestris was singing a song, no other performer being on the
stage, " I say, my dear fellow," said one of the exquisites to his
friend, " I think that lady on the right side of the stage is
quite as beautiful as the other, don't you ?"
On Wednesday an inquest was held at Magliera, in
the county of Louth, on Bridget Kirk, who was found dead in
a bog-hole. She was the wife of a man named James Kirk,
who is a servant, and did not live with her. On Monday night
he was observed to sit up at his master's firesidegaaftomefratnahenfeoamtmlaieelder

M‘Ginnis heard the words,
a drowning." Notwithstanding this, he ( M‘Ginnis) remained
at his own door, merely calling out,
Gartlan attended, and had a post mortem examination of de-
ceased. The Jury found that she came to her death by
violence, and by being thrown into a bog-hole. There were
a great many witnesses examined ; and after a lengthened
inquiry, Kirk, the husband, has been committed to Dundalk
gaol. It is strange that, although shrieking was heard by
several persons in the neighbourhood, some of whom have
admitted that they thought it was Kirk and his wife fighting,
none of them had curiosity, or rather humanity, enough to go
and discover the cause and render their assistance. There
can be very little doubt if NPGinnis had gone down to the
bog-hole he might have saved the life of the unhappy victim;—
