. We are rejoiced to see that_tini A.:oos last nighe
threw out the Bill for the enclosure of Hampstead
Heath. The facts of the case, we understand from
a correspondent, are as follow :—" The father of the
present lord, Sir T. M. Wilson, possessed the estate
in fee, with the right of granting building leases over
the whole of it,—a power which he exercised during
life with great moderation. At his death he entailed
the estate on his son, and, willing to confer a boon
on the parishioners, prevented his son, by a clause
in the will, from granting building leases on the
manor. By the will, therefore, the estate was left
,is the award of Sir T. M. Wilson,—his inability to
fetid on it as that of the inhabitants of Hampstead
arid the citizens of London. This prohibitory clause
the lord of the manor has endeavoured to set aside
by application to Parliament; and he has done so with
exactly as much propriety and justice, as the copy-
holders would exercise, were they in their turn to
petition Parliament to annul the other clauses of the
will, which secure to him the possession of hie
estate." Had he obtained his point, the beauty of
Hampstead would have been destroyed, the value
of the property to the present owners of houses de-
preciated one-half, and ose of the " lungs of the
metropolis," so essential to the healthy existence of
the inhabitants, would have been annihilated. The
policy of the question, as stated by Lord Mansfield,
and the law as expounded by Lord Tenterden, have,
thank heaven, defeated this outrageous attempt to
sacrifice public good to private convenience.—Times.
We have now before us a printed statement,
" showing," as is . said, " the charge of his Me,
jesty's diplomatic service abroad, from January,
1822 to January, 1830, both inclusive." We have
often, in the discharge of our public duty, touched
upon this painful and provoking subject of the di-
plomatic expences allowed by the British Govern-
ment, and provided for at the cost of the nation,
There is, we will venture. to say, no branch of the
multifarious civil services, included in the annual
Appropriation Act, which requires to be more
keenly investigated or more unsparingly cut down,
and kept so, than this of our foreign missions. Let
us look at the list :—To the British Ambassador at

the Court of France, (this is independent of a
splendid house bought by the English Government)
12,1001.; Russia, 13,1001.; Austria, 13,1001,;
Spain, 13,100/.; Netherlands, 13,0001.1 Waa
ever the like heard of in arty other kingdom of the
world ? How many native Noblemen of any of the
Courts here enumerated are able to vie in house-
hold expence with men possessing such princely in-
comes ? and is it politic for England to place
her servants in a point of view so invidious
towards the communities amongst which they
are sent to sojourn? In fact, we have been
told that hints have been at various times
transmitted to the Government of this coon-
try, upon the annoyance which is often felt
abroad, at the unequalled revenues allowed
by Great Britian to her diplomatic functionaries at
foreign Courts, for the support of what she calls her
" dignity." Now the best kind of national dignity
is that which renders justice, and demands it,—that
which is upheld by the urbanity, knowledge, ca-
pacity, and honour, of the public officers who repre-
sent their nation among foreigners ; and, after the
common decencies of respectable life have been fur-
nished, little, if any thing, is gained by mete extra-
vagance and ostentation, to! the interests or
" dignity" of a great people. However, if richly
appointed embassies are not quite essential to the
public service, we do not deny that they may be so
to the comfort of those who enjoy them. The Mi-
nisters to Spain and to the Netherlands, for instance,
would not be very readily convinced of the iniquity
of granting each of them (besides perquisites) above
13,000/. per annum. Such things ought to be
taken up by Parliament, and perhaps may draw
some notice from Hon. Gentlemen, now that an
election seems at hand. But it is not large salaries
that we complain of at present, as detailed in the
Parliamentary paper; it is the confusion of the
other items, wherein all is mass, and nothing in the
shape of a detail : as, for example,—" Extraordinary
and incidental expences of every kind," varying from
50,0001. to 18,0001. in different years, but not assign-
ing his proper " incidents and extraordinaries" to
any particular ambassador. Again, there is " Com-
missions under treaties with "foreign Powers,"
amounting to various sums, from 43,0001. to 19,000/.
" Outfits," a charge open to much animadversion--
in the last year 5,6001.; in 1828, 24,500/. The
result of this long-continued practice of bundling
up together things which ought to be distinct, as
being thereby more susceptible of examination, has
been, that Parliament (to its own deep disgrace)
has gone on tolerating an annual diplomatic expen-
diture, of not less, in some years (as 1826), than
460,000/., and even last year, which was one of
reduced expenses, 366,000/. Nothing can be plainer
than that if men of a high order of talents, but of
private station in society, were to be selected for
foreign missions, two good effects would follow.
The national business would be incomparably better
done, and the extravagance of the diplomatic service
might be corrected without a murmur. It is, indeed,
far otherwise when men of noble birth but mean
capacity make love to the appointment, and are
chosen; that is the secret of our 460,000/. expen-
diture. The borough-system is at the bottom of
it ; and if the puppets of that system do not always
succeed in shutting the doors of Parliament against
popular representatives, it is certain that they keep
the representation of the Sovereign elsewhere very
snugly and comfortably to themselves.—Times.
We rejoice to see that Sir Thomas Wilson has
been defeated once more, and that the people of
Hampstead are left in the enjoyment of their heath.
After so strong a manifestation of the feeling of the
House of Peers, as a majority of 23 to 7 against
the second reading of his Bill, perhaps the . worthy
Baronet will see the propriety of no longer agitating
this business. It is consolatory to see their Lordships
setting their faces against the attempts of individuals
to obtain by private Acts, powers incompatible with
the titles under which they hold their property. All
private legislation ought to be discouraged as much
as possible. The law will allow any man to enforce
his rights under it, and beyond this they ought not
to be allowed to go. This is a favourable sign of
the times, and Lord Tenterden in particular is de-
serving of general thanks for opposing, as he did,
the system of Parliamentary jobbing, which would
give to every man who could afford to pay the ex-
pences of a Bill the power of making for himself
whatever law he pleases to have. The House of
Commons is, we suspect, incurable. Members can
be obtained for any job on almost as easy terms as
Irish evidence. The pride of the House of Lords,
in the absence of higher principles, stands the public
in good stead in jobs. Their Lordships deem it ad-
visable to be a little less accessible to solicitation. At
all events, if their Lordships allow themselves to
be canvassed, Sir Thomas Wilson has little cause to
boast of their favours on the seven votes for his Bill.
—Morning Chronicle.

The large majority in favour of the second read-
ing of the Beer Bill is by no means to be taken as
conclusive with regard to the success of the measure.
The character of the Bill will depend upon the na-
ture of the regulations, and it is in the Committee
that the struggle will take place, whether the Bill
shall or shall not be little better than a non-entity.
All will depend upon the freedom of the trade to
sell beer, arid the power to drink it on the premises.
The moment a discretion is allowed with respect to
the granting or withholding licences, monopoly is as
strong as ever. We are not insensible to the hard-
ships to which a change in the law will subject many
individuals; we can allow, too, for the sympathy of
Members with those individuals. But we are dis-
gusted at the vile hypocritical cant about tippling, in
which several Members indulge, from whom better
things might have been expected. We know that
when a county Member expresses his apprehension
lest the county should become one scene of tippling,
he does not mean what he says; and that, his ob-
ject being to save a few hundreds at the neat elec-

Mr. Hume hinted that such Members were likely to
meet their constituents soon, and advised them to be
prepared by their vote of that night to meet the
searching scrutiny to which they are certain of being
subjected. The consequence was—the light troops
took alarm—sounded a retreat, and Mr. Goulburii
accordingly withdrew his motion. This was, deny
it who may, a defeat. The Ministers were repulsed
on a motion in which the taste, the wishes, and,
possibly, the commands of their Royal Master were
involved. They left their Sovereign in the lurch
with as much indifference as if his Majesty had been
a Staffordshire nailer, petitioning for fhe abolition
of the truck system. To say the least of it the time
was ill chosen. It is true that too much money has
already been expended, and ill-expended, on these
palaces. Nearly a million of pounds sterling have
been spent its building a wing to Windsor Castle,
and more than half a million in erecting what is
called a palace amid the smoke, the filth, and the
malaria of Pimlico. The apartments at Windsor,
which have cost so much, are only intended for a
Unitarian Monarch, a sole male Sovereign, wedded
only to himself, no throne for a bride, no drawing
room for a Queen. The possibility of England ever
again having a Charlotte is totally overlooked. A
successor with a wife has been forgotten in the
estimates. There they stand, flaring in the sun, a
sort of royal hermitage, devoted to celibacy, where
matrimony, and wifehood, and qucenhood, are all
abjured. It is a melancholy fact that Windsor
Castle, notwithstanding the vast sums wasted
upon it, is but half a palace, and that before
the successors of his present Majesty cars hold
a drawing-room wiihin its walls an additional
million will be required to render it complete. As
to the royal palace at Pimlico, ye Gods ! what shall
we say ? There is not a man of taste in England
who does not blush at the very sight of such a
building. It resembles nothing so much as the
Italian Opeeit-house turned inside out —a tawdry
pile bored all over with small windows like pigeon-
holes, through which an obese lady's maid would
find it difficult to perpetrate an elopement. And
yet this is called a palace, towards the erection of
which the people of England have contributed up-
wards of half a million. It might answer the pur-
poses of a fancy bazaar, but it is a decoration of lan-
guage to call it a palace. We sincerely hope that
no English Sovereign will ever have the bad
taste to set his foot in it. It is a standing re-
proach to the noble art of architecture, and a
disgrace to the country. We can ill spare the
money should it be deemed necessary to replace
it; but certainly we can spare the loss of it;
and therefore we should not be sorry to see
it burnt. We may talk as much as we please about
this being our Augustan age, and point with Canon
pride to the splendid improvements of George the
Fourth. Where are they ? An iron balustrade in
one park, and a horizontal iron-bar fence in another
—a zig-zag pond here, and an odious gravel-pit
there—a walk in a wood called a garden beside an
old brick-house, and arches, called triumphal,
through which a Highland chief in his state car-
riage could not pass with his tail, and which are
looked doivn upon by a green arid naked monster—
a brazen memorial of the taste of the ladies of Eng-
land. As for the Regent's-park we never visit it
without a strong inclination to commit suicide
among the rats and ducks of its barricadoed but
muddy and fountainless waters. We might prefer
hanging, out of respect for English customs, but
the trees of the Regent are not large enough.—
Had
the enormous sums expended on those im-
provements been voted by an honest Parliament, at
a reasonable hour of the night, when Members
have their eyes open and are tolerably sober, the
palace of Pimlico never would have been raised to
slander us with its Twelfth-day ornaments, its
sickly columns, its long rows of attic, we mean
garret, windows, and all its pretty cornices, and
architraves contrived by brother Nash in the bake-
house of citizen Birch. The most illiterate mason
of Paris would have evinced better taste. But now,
thank Heaven, the job is ended ! We have spent
all our money, and are, therefore, happy, contented,
and humbugged.—Morning Journal.
Our readers will learn, with pleasure, that the
Hampstead Heath Inclosure Bill was last night
thrown out in the House of Lords. The attempt
to shut out the public from the delightful air of that
suburb of the metropolis, was viewed with dissatis-
faction, not only by those immediately interested,
but by every inhabitant of the metropolis; and it
is a matter of public congratulation that the Bill
has been defeated. Hampstead is almost the only
village m our neighbourhood where the inhabitants
of this vast " Wen," as Cobbett would term it,
can breathe a pure arid fresh air; and the passing of
the Bill might, in consequence, have been regarded
as tending not only to deprive them of a great be-
nefit, but, dEcidedly, to increase the mortality of the
metropolis.—Morning Advertiser.
There were a few things mentioned in the course
of the debate on the Beer Bill, on Tuesd, y, in the
House of Commons, to which, from the lateness of
the hour at which the debate terminated, it was im-
possible for us to do more than merely allude, but
to which we would now draw the attention of our
readers. And, in the first place, let us ask Mr.
Calcraft what he means by the adulteration of
beer ? If it is that noxious ingredients have been
mixer's with the beer sold to the public, we beg to
tell him, that the proofs of the existence of such
practices are extremely limited, and that nine out
of ten of the convictions which have taken place
under this charge, have been in reality proofs of the
suniniunz jus being the sunznia injuria, and of the
Licensed Victuallers being fined for doing that which
they never did or intended to do. The true state of
the case is, that if any quantity of water, for whatever
purpose, is found in the cellar of a Licensed Vic-
tualler, or a lump of burnt sugar or molasses, or any
other article which can be mixed with beer, the party
guilty of having such things on his premises is im-
mediately adjudged guilty of adulterating his beer;
and in this way have numberless licensed victuallers
been fined more or less by the Excise Court, al-
though they had never been guilty of the act for
which the law meant them to be fined. The parties
ought unquestionably to have known better; but it
is a sufficiently hard case to be fined without com-
mitting any offence, and a still harder one to be
taunted with such practices being a disgrace to the
trade, when ninety-nine out of a hundred have
prayed the Legislature to pass an Act for depriving
for ever of his licence any one who may have been
found guilty even once of adulterating beer ! In
the second place, with regard to compensation in
case of the present Bill passing into a law, we beg
to remind certain Honourable Members, that a few
weeks have only elapsed since a large compensation
was not only granted, on the ground of the houses
having a Magistrate's licence, to numberless, pre-
mises in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross, which
would otherwise have been entitled to a mere trifle,
but that within the last month a large sum,
in the shape of compensation, was granted to a
brothel ! and to ask how, in the same breath, which
ratified these acts, the idea of compensation should
be scouted as ridiculous ? The Licensed Victu-
tuallers, however, do not ask for compensation—
they merely demand protections and common justice,
and in this plea they are supported by the whole
country.—There is no one, either in or out of the
House, who does not regard the proposed measure
as most cruel and iniquitous towards the Licensed
Victuallers, and who does not contemplete the pos-
sible consumption of beer on tire premises of every
one who has two guineas at his command to pay for
a licence, with the strongest feelings of alarm.
The measure, in fact, is pregnant with more
evil than has yet been dreamed of, and if the in-
habitants of such cities as the metropolis, Man-
chester, Birmingham, and other places, do not pe-
tition strongly ugainst it, in time, a nuisance will be
inflicted upon them, of the enormity of which they
have at present no idea. Lastly, even at the risk of
being considered officious and impertinent, we beg
to remind the great brewers, first, that there is not

The debates on the supplies in the House of
Commons is a sort of political skirmishing practised
by the light troops of Whitehall, and hitherto with
much success. I'he money of the people is gene-
rally voted away at an hour dear to amatory cats
upon the house-tops and resurrection-men in the
grave-yards, when the aged senator 'has retired to
bed, and the convivial one is reeling over his third
bottle. Some thirty or forty Members at the most,
lovers of arithmetic and small economy, muster on
these occasions, and thousands upon thousands are
knocked down to the Treasury with all the haste of
an auctioneer working against time. On Monday
night, however, this ancient and agreeable practice
received an unexpected check, under circumstances of
a very painful kind, and which Ministers, we sus-
pect, will not soon forget. Mr. Goulburn moved
that a grant of 100,0001. be made to defray the ex-
pense of the alterations and repairs at Windsor
Castle, which was strenuously opposed by Mr. Ro-
bert Gordon and Mr. Brougham, on the ground that
these repairs and alterations had already exceeded
the estimates by no less a sum than 500,000/. The
original estimate was 300,000/., and, subsequently,
200,0001. was added in the hope and assurance that
no further sum would be required. These two sums,
however, were soon expended, and yet the alterations
and repairs appeared as far from being completed as
ever. For three successive years, after the aforesaid
half million had been spent, the sum of 100,0001.
per annum was voted, so that up to the expiration
of 1829 no less than 800,000/. sterling had been
sunk, or we should rather say wasted, on these ab-
surd, preposterous, tasteless, and extravagant altera-
tions and repairs. Not in the slightest degree
ashamed of, nor deterred by, this extravagance Mr.
Goulburn on Monday night asked his Majesty's
faithful Commons to grant another 100,0001. for
the current year—but the faithful Commons re-
fused I They considered such a vote, at such a
time, to be little less than robbery, if not also an in-
sult to a people contending with pauperism and fa-
mine. Mr. Brougham was of opinion that the
House could not sanction this grant without evincing
a reckless and unprincipled indifference to the suffer-
ings of the country, and that no Member, who had
any constituents, could vote for it without exposing
himself to the indignant reproaches of his electors,—

LAMBETH-STREET.

A curious case came on for hearing yesterday at
this office, in the course or which the necessity of a
good understanding being kept up among the whole
of the officers of a parish appeared in the strongost
light.
♦ man, accompanied by his son, a youth appa-
rently about twenty years old, applied to Mr.
HARDWICK for an order to compel the overseers of
the hamlet of Mile-end Old Town to take his son
into the workhouse, as he was unable to support
himself, and he (the father) could not afford to sup-
port him.
It appearing that there were some grounds for
relieving the boy, Mr. HARDWICK told Stone, the
beadle, to take him into the workhouse, and set him
at work to break stones upon the road.—Stone, the
beadle, said he was sorry that this was impracticable
for the overseers had no power to do this. The
power was vested in the surveyor of the roads.
Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, and why does he not em-
ploy the able-bodied paupers to do the necessary
work?—Stone said, that in consequence of a mis-
understanding which existed between the surveyor
and the other officers, the surveyor employed total
strangers, who were paid so much per day.
Mr. HARDwicx—lf I understand you rightly,
then, in consequence of some private quarrel which
exists, the parishioners are paying a set of men to
do that work which could as well be done by their
own paupers, who are kept in a state of idleness in
the workhouse.

Stone said that was unfortunately true.
Mr. HARDWICK said that this system ought to
undergo a complete change.
In the individual case before them Mr. HARDWICK
advised the beadle to allow the boy a trifle per
week out of doors, but on no account to take
him into the workhouse and keep him in a state of
idleness. _ _

On Monday Mrs. Barnard, a fashionable-looking
female, was charged with intermarrying with a
gentleman of the name of Curry, her former husband
being still living.
It appeared from the evidence, that in the year
1805 the prisoner was married to a person of the
name of Barnard, at Lewisham ; at the expiration
of six months her husband left her without assigning
any motive; in the course of two years she married
a person of the name of Chadwick, and upon his
death she became, in the year 1810, acquainted with
Mr. Curry, who was then a Purser in the Navy, rnd
upon the 13th of March she was married to the
prosecutor at St. Mary's, Newington ; subsequently
the parties separated, and he (Curry) allowed the
prisoner 521. per year, and for which sum lie was
some time since arrested; the money was paid over
to the Sheriff to abide a trial in the Court of
King's Bench ; subsequently Mr. Curry discovered
that the first husband was living, as he was seen at
Sheerness in 1820; on which a warrant was pro-
cured for her apprehension, which took place on
Thursday last.
The prisoner denied knowing that her first husband
was living.•—She was committed for trial.

The complainant, who spoke the English language
fluently, then proceeded with his statement. He
said that he had the misfortune of being confined in
the King's Bench prison for the last three months,
and that during that period his wife had been a solace
to him in his imprisonment until the last three
weeks, when she began to absent herself, and on
those occasions that she did call to see him it was
evident that she did so with reluctance, always ap-
pearing miserable, and taking little or no interest in
his unhappy situation. At length she began to stop
away for days together, and information was given
to him within the walls of the gaol, that his wife had
been seen about town in company with the prisoner
who had previously acted in a very menial situation
about the gaol,—namely, going of errands for the
inmates. The complainant was thunderstruck on
hearing the intelligence, and instantly despatched a
note to his wife requesting her to call upon km, and
during the interview between them he alluded to
the report relative to her having been seen with the
messenger of the gaol; this gave rise to an alter-
cation between them, and she hastily withdrew from
his. presence, declaring that she should absent her-
self altogether from the prison. No entreaties
could prevail upon her to stop, and the complainant
seeing her resolutely bent on abandoning him, be-
sought her to send his property to the gaol to him, the
possession of which only could save him from feel-
ing more acutely the miseries of his situation, being.
a stranger, and without the means of procuring any
food except the gaol allowance. She, however,
paid no attention to his entreaties, and in a day or
two afterwards it was communicated to him that
his wife and the prisoner had taken a lodging in,
Willett-street, Lambeth, and removed part of the
property there, arid sold and pledged the remainder;
and that they intended to remain there for a short
time, and then proceed to America. The com-
plainant's feelings being wounded at hearing this
account of the base conduct of his wife, he consulted
with some persons, who advised him to employ the
police to apprehend the parties as the only chance of
saving any part of his property. This advice he im-
mediately availed himself of, and Inspector Manning,
of letter M division, took the complainant's wife
and the prisoner into custody the preceding evening,
in the Westminster-road.

Mr. ELTARD here asked Drew what he had to say
in answer to the charge ?—Drew said, that during
the time he was in the habit of attending at the
King's Bench prison, he became first acquainted
with Mrs. Elie, the lady having employed him oc-
casionally to go on errands, which he always ex-
ecuted with punctuality, and with.satisfactien to her.
Some few months ago, he, however, happened to
get into a scrape by conveying spirits into the gaol,
and was convicted at this office of the offence, and
committed for three months to Kingston gaol. When
he came out of prison, pennyless, Mrs. Elie, com-
miserating his situation, invited him to take tea with
her at the lodgings where she and her husband
lived before the latter was thrown into gaol. From
that period an intimacy of friendship commenced
between him and Mrs. Elk, who rendered him
every assistance in her power, and at her request he
pledged some articles of silver at the pawnbroker's,
and also sold some part of the furniture belonging
to the rooms she occupied. With respect to the
plate found in his possession by the inspector, he
had merely accompanied Mrs. Elie to the pawn-
broker's to redeem the articles, and they being of
too bulky a nature for her to carry in her reticule,
she handed them over to him, to take to her lodgings.
Mrs. Elie here declared that she had employed
the prisoner to carry the plate for her in the mac-
tier described. With respect to her husband, she
said that he had strictly prohibited her from entering
his presence, and on that account she had kept away
from the gaol. As to the plate, she considered she
had as much right to it as her husband, as it was
she brought it to him. She added, that it was she,
and not the prisoner, who had taken the property
away from her former. abode; and that whatever

They were remanded.
As Lea, one of the officers of this establishment,
was standing at the office door yesterday, a man
came up to him, and told him that for thirty-five
