SPIRIT OP vat PUBLIC JOURNALS,

There is yet hope that the AntArnion agitators
in Ireland may receive en effectual cheek from the
snielpendent noblemen and gentlemen of that coun-
try., who have a somewhat deeper stake in its pros-
perity, and rather more to lose through public this-
order, than the declaimers and " marksmen" of
whom we have heard so much. The Duke of

Leinster, whose historical and political station places
him at the head of the people of Ireland, and whose
family strenuously opposed the Union, has come
forward with an addre,;(6 to the other proprietors of
estates, inviting them to co-operate with him in re.
silting this Anti-Union madness ; and we have little
doubt that Boomer or later his Grace will succeed in
his appeal to the common sense of the Irish gentry.
Our advice to gentlemen, linelish as well as Irish,
is—" better the condition of the pdor."—Times.
Among the topics of high national concern which
are likely to be embraced by the forthcoming speech
from the throne, we have reason to ant'cipate the
introduction of one question, the right end expedi-
tious arrangement of which by Parliament must be
regarded us most desirable for all friends to the
public tranquillity—we mean the settlement of a
regency, in case, which God forbid, of any prema-
ture accident befalling our present esteemed and
kind-hearted Sovereign. We are sure that it will
establish for that well-beloved monarch a still
stronger hold, if possible, on the affections of his
people, when they find his Majesty looking the most
serious of all human :occurrences fait ly and manfully
in the face, and, moved. by a benevolent solicitude
for the peace and security of the empire, eagerly
sanctioning the proposal of his Ministers to prepare
beforehand, by a solemn tut of the legislature,
the fit measures to be adopted in cote of a de-
mise of the Crown, albeit now worn by its Royal
possessor in full health of mind and body.
Many months ago, in the columns of this journal,
an early consideration of the subject of tt Itgency
seas strongly recommended to his Majesty's Mini-
sters, a decided opinion being also given as to the
principles on which the great question could alone,
with any regard to precedent or sound trolley, be
determined, and as to the person in whose hands
the exercise at the executive power might to be
placed during the minority of an infant Sovereign.
It affolds us much satisfaction to believe that we
were correct in both the above anticipations,—that
a distinct announcement will be made by his Ma-
jesty to-morrow, respecting the views entertained
by his tiovernment, of the expediency of et once
deciding the Regency question; and that when the
details of the measure come to be settled, the office
of Regent will be assigned without hesitation to her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, as mother of
the heiress presumptive, end as, therefore, the per-
*merge who can have no interest conflicting with, or
in any way opposed to, that of her infitnt.—Tinies.
A variety of rumours have been for some days
abroad with regard to a difficulty in the preparation
of the Kitties Speech. It was yesterday said that
Ministers entertain serious apprehensions that his
Nesty should think proper to utter a few sentences
expressive of his own private sentiments on the
present extraordinary posture of affairs. Nothing
would, we dare say, afford more general satisfaction
than that the Monarch should, on meeting his first
Parliament, address his people In the language
prompted by the dictates of his own breast, rather
than the studied conventional phrase of diplomacy put
into his mouth by Ministers, There is nothing
better established, as a constitutional principle, than
that the Ministers are responsible for the King's
Speech, and instances are on record of tZlis responsi-
bility being made effective. The doctrine that the
King can do no wrong, and that the servants of the
Crown aro answerable for all acts of the Sovereign,
Is one of great perplexity, and some subtlety ; but
what greater absurdity can be imagined than that one
man may be called to account for the words uttered
II the lips of another I—Morning Chronicle.

The spirit of di satisfaction which has recently
exhibited itself to such an elarming extent, in the
agricultural districts, has also been displayed in the
cold countries and manufacturing districts. We
have bud letters from Lancashire arid Derbyshire
expressing the greatest alarm occasioned by a
getierat turn out among the colliers; and a peretnptory
demand on the part of the working people engaged
in the cotton and silk factories of an increase of
wages to the extent of a fourth. Representations have
been addressed to the Home Department on this
subject, and a loud cry raised for the re-enactment of
the Combination Laws ; but the secret of the whole
is to be found in the fact, that trade, especially the
silk trade, has recently exhibited a considerable im-
provement, in the benefits of which the operatives
rt aurally desire to share. Re-enact' the Combina-
tion Laws I Restore the Ileptarchy ! These are
not times for rash experiments.—Morning Chronicle.
We earnestly direct the attention of the public to
the Resolutions unanimously agreed to on Saturday
last, at a numerous and respectable meeting of the
Electors of the Borough of Stamford. The body
of independent tradesmen, and others equally inde-
pendent in rnintl, who summoned Mr. Tennyson to
their aid at the last Election, have now come for-
ward in the same constitutional spirit publicly to
denounce the indecent interference with their elec-
tive rights by the Marquis of Exeter, to which we
have repeatedly adverted. Bad enough it is, that
Peers should notoriously possess an influence in the
House of Commons which places King and People
in their hands; but surely these usurpers should
Lave better taste and more discretion than to brave
public opinion after the manner of this Marquis ana
of that other Noble Peer, who, encouraged by his
escape for the first offence, bus committed a second.
When an upper servant employed to take care of the
mansion secretly pilfers its contents, although we
have heard of eases where long impunity had so
hardened the culprit that he considered plunder. a
Perquisite, yet, ordininily, he has sufficient moral
feeling left to hide himself in shame upon detection ;
he does not stamp and rave about the house its if he
were the injured party and do all the mischief be
can to avenge himself on those whose trust he has
betrayed. fhe laws might not be strong enough to
hang $o audacious a knave, but the Code should be
ransacked for some means of condign punishment.
The resolutions ut Stamford aro calculated to make
a deep impression upon the nation. They are based
upon undeniable principles, and conceived in a tone
Or moderation and firmness which impart* to them
the high character of a solemn impeachment by the
people against an aristocrat who has abu,ed the
powers of the station which lie holds for their be-.
nrfit, in order to acquire for himself and his craft an
authority whereby to enslave them. We shall await
with anxiety the decision of Parliament on this im-
portant case, which must be considered one, nor
affecting the Marquis of Exeter alone, but a great
MANS of the aristocracy. The eyes of the people are
at Itingth fully open to the real source of the evils of
which they have so long complained; and never
was there a time when the union of the King and
the People, supported by the intellectual weight of
all the middle classes, and of a large portion also,
we are happy to believe,- of the aristocracy them-
selves, might with such perfect safety and beneficial
effect put an end, by measures of rational reform, to
that miter which is preying upon and has nearly
destroyed the vitals of, the. Constitution.—lllornim
Chronicle.

We received last night :Belgium Papers to the
31st tilt. Their connate are important. The
contest betweee the people mid tho King, which
had been stile:tiled fur a season by the interven»
Lion of negotiation, bas been restimed with all its
virulence i * and the Provisional Government have
shcern'that they are as little inclined to take refuge
for * settlement of their differences in bloodless
corn promise its the King himself is now eager to
reptidiati it. The city of Antwerp, the last, hold of
Dutch power within the :Belgian line, has fallen
into the hands of die people. This feet, which we
announced on Saturday as from it, Nem+ Paper,
is
fully confirmed by dine accounts. The King's
troops are shut up in the citadel; all without that

narrow boundary is subject to the Provisional Go.
vernment ; the river, the shipping, and the stores
are possessed by the people; but the city itself,—
one of the most eminent 'commercial haunts of
Europe,--,is bat a wreck of what it had been. every
measure that impotent malignity and cowardly re-
venge could snggest, appear to have been resorted to
by the troops before they retired. Red-hot balls
were fired upon the Own t the shipping in the
harbour were required to to-operate with the cita-
del : the boosts were set fire to in several places at
once; and it would seem as li they meant to give
to this extinction of the Royal authority a bright-
ness which must make it a more milted object of
detestation to all the people or Belgium. The con-
quest was not achilcVed without great efforts and
considerable sacrifices ott the part the people.
Upon the 24th, the belgiait volunteers, who had
been for some time hanging übout Antwerp, first
opened a fire upon the Data troops. These latter,
instead of opposing openly+, resorted to a cowardly
ruse, and obtained a temporary advantage. The at-
tack was k.thewed ; and upon Tuesday morning the
troops abandoned the suburbs and plan, and
retired within the city. Then commenced the
Paris mode of fightilig. Barricades were erected
in the trivets, the troops were driven from
platte to place, and at length took refuge in
the citadel, being still 4,000 strong. There they
still remain firing upon the town. A Provisional
Government has been appointed ; the agents of die
Provisional Government of brussels have been re-
cognized ; and the populace, having possessed them-
selves of cannon in considerable numbers, were pre-
paring to attack the citadel. An armistice had been

agreed upon, which, it was hoped, would end in a
negotiation. The Prince of Orange bad withdrawn
from the scene early in the contest, either from
disgust at his fatliera vacillations, or despair of his
own influence. Ile embarked on board an EngFuh
vessel for England. The surrender of Maestricht
is not stated in these Papers, hut it is said to be in a
state of siege. In the German Papers will be seen
some fresh assurances by Prussia of its determina-
tion not to interfere in the affairs of Belgium. The
Congress of Sovereigns, it is now said, would take
place not at the Hague' but at London ; and that
their deliberations would have Luxembourg only far
their object, that being neutral ground.—Morning
Herald.

Parliament meets, properly speaking►, to-morrow

for the despatch of business, when the King's speech
will be delivered, old the first great debate on the
state or the nation takes place—and never assuredly
was a King's speech looked forward to with so much
anxiety, or a Parliament meeo on whose delibera-
tions so many and so important events are dependant.
All eyes are fixed upon it—all ears are ready to listen
to its debates. And what important subjects are
there not to be discussed by it ? France has been
revolutionized, and is on the eve of a second, though
bloodless, revolution—Belgium has thrown off the
yoke of Holland, but has not yet settled down into
the calm which succeeds the tempest—Spain is in-
vaded by a Comvitutional Army, and is übont to
become the theatre of great events—the affairs of
Portugal, respecting which the Government has so
often expressed its " hopes," remain in alaiu quo—
the States of Germany are nearly ripe fur revolu-
tion—ltaly may be described as nearly in the same
condition—in Poland the fire of liberty still burn',
and the name of Kosciousko is still remembered
with enthusiastic admiration—the Turk has not
yet given in his adhesion to the new boundary
which it has pleased their High Mightinesses, the
Allied Powers, to prescribe for Greece—and even

he cold regions of Russia are not free from symp-
oms of the general plague which broke out in
France, and is progressing with rapid strides to the
uttermost corners of the earth I But what has
Parliament to do with these things ? Not much, or
rather we should soy nothing, provided the Govern.
meat bas hurl nothing to do with them. We have
only to remain at peace, and all the %mid will be at
peace with us—we have only to withhold our hands
from meddling in continental strifes, and the sound
only of the strife will be all that we shall know of
it. But there are questions to be asked and ques-
tions to be answered, however disagreeable the duty
may be to those whose official station imposes the
duty upon them. Who helped to form the Polignac
Cabinet ? —t hat is one question. Who advised the
total ordinances ?—that is another. Has assistance
been promised to the King of Holland, and to
enable him to conquer his late subjects, the Bel-
gians ?--that is a third ; and it still remains to be
inquired, what is the state of our relations
with Portugal ?—what has become of the cap-1
tured ships still in the grasp of the tyrant, and
for which no compensation has been granted ?
—These are questions, which will be asked,
and which must be answered ; but there are
others of a more serious nature, which apply quite
as much to the " collective wisdom" of the nation
as to the Government, end which cannot be post-
poned. What is to be done with Ireland ? What
is to be done with the question of Parliamentary
Reform ? What is to be done to allay the distur-
bances, and root out the causes of them, which have
broken out in Kent, and are just as likely to break
out any where else ? We pretend not to know ;
but leaving Ireland out of the question, it must by
this time be apparent to all mine persona that the
period has arrived when the monopoly of the power
of representation must be given up by the aristo-
cracy—when the feelings and interests of the com-
munity must no longer be bought and sold—and
when a thorough anti effectual redress of their
grievances must ensue. It may be all very well to
give representatives to Manchester, Birmingham,
Leeds, &c., but that will do nothing to purify the
House—and it; may be equally necessary to put
down by force those who are blindly carrying on
the work of destruction in the farm-yards of Kent
—but that will not spread comfort among the vast
number of labourers and artisans, who are dragging
On a miserable existence, as destitute of hope for
the future as they are of comfort for the present.
" The Government must be prepared to answer," says
a writer in the Huy Mont/4 Magazine, "whether they
have taken into consideration the state of the lower orders
of the people, with a view to their employment, and the
bettering of their condition. There is a voice louder
than that of mere political expediency which will urge
this question with fearful weight upon those who guide
the concerns of this country. The sheer necessity of hun-
dreds of thousands of people will make itself heard, end
it will not Cease to he asked whether the country be really
able to support its population in comfort, and, if it be,
why should the mom of the people continue to suffer from
want. The merely scientific politician, who looks upon
masses of suffering men with the same cool spirit of calcu-
lation that he would use with respect to the atoms of mat-
ter, may consider that he disposes of the question by re-
ferring it to a redundancy of disposable labour, and phi-
losophically consign his fellow creatures to starvation, or
the ears of an Emigration Committee. The Government
may, while it acknowledges and deplores the difficulty and
distress, deny tits utility of its interference, and leave it
to time, and the working of events, to place the people in
the condition of independence which, in more prosperous
periods,they enjoyed. But the people have changed from
what hey were—they are less turbulent, and more re-
fieetive—more aware of their real strength, and more
cautious of wasting it in profitless tumult ; anti, this
being the case, it does not consist with the safety of the
state, that their *offerings should be neglected through the
self-sufficieney of science, or the hopelessness of inability.
The general proposition will scarcely be denied, that
while the resources of a country are quite adequate to the
support of its population, there is something wrong in the
political arrangement of the society if the population can-
not find support. Now it is quite manifest that with
our sod and extraordinary means of production, and with
such extensive colonies from which we may supply the
luxuries that we cannot grow at home, our population,
great as it is, might be abuothintly supplied with every
thing they want—but they are denied an opportunity of
exercising their labour in the way of production ; and,
while they-pine far want, the very things which they re-
quire are rotting in the markets without a demand for
them. The advocates of the manufacturing interest will
say, throw open the ports, and let foreign corn flow in
I free of duty.' It the evil complained of were a scarcity of

corn, this would, no doubt, be an efficient terady—but it
is the want of means to piirchaeo corn, and not the want
of the commodity, which causes the distress."
In these observations we cordially agree, and as
willingly do we give our absent to what follows i—
" The fact seeing to be, that both the causes and the
cure of the distressed condition of the lower orders happen
to lie more deeply in the frame of society than is generally
imagined; but that the want and misery are not things of
inevitable necessity, is manifest from this, that there is
already abundance of good things to eat, anti to drink, and
to wear, for all the people in the coUntiy, if they had but
a legal claim to use them; and, further, that the country
is capable of producing a melt greater quantity of these
things, and continhing to do so, if its resources were kept
in full action by the employment of the peop'e. With the
natural powers of this coiintry, stupendously increased as
they have been by the progress of mechanical improve-
ment, there seems to he scarcely a limit to its powers of
producing or purchasing every thing desirable for men to

enjoy, but the problem has yet t,) be solved of snaking
these powers avai!able for the general happiness of the

community, as well as for the profit of the japitalist4.
" We fear that these things arc but little dreamt of in
the philosophy of the Ministers ; our President of the
Board of Trade is a man well versed in arithmetical
figures, and adroit in the arrangement of accounts—quali-
ties which, in their proper sphere, are not to be despised ;
but when we think of Ore knowledge and the genius, the
profound vieWs, and the intellectual courage which the
Cabinet Minister of :Great Britain, to whom such duties
are entrusted, ought to possess, we lose our patience,"
Who, indeed, is there in the Cabinet fit to grapple
with these important questions ? The Premier is,
no doubt, a man of good sense and shrewd thought,
and were it a question of fighting, or foreign poli-
tics, might be expected to be found " wiser in hi,
generation" than many of his compeers—we will-
ingly allow the same meed of praise to Lord Aber-
deen and Sir George Murray; but the question is
not one either of fighting or of foreign polities,—it
is one which neither of the three Ministers whom
we have named can be supposed to know much
about ; and who else, let us'ask, is there in the Ca-
binet whose opinion upon it would pass current,
even in a debating society ? Are my Lords Ba-
thurst or Melville, or Bosslyn, or Ellenborough,
more capable of sounding the depths of our na-
tional distress, and applying to it a speedy and effec-
tual remedy ? And what would be thought of an
oration from Goulburn on such a topic? Yet
these are the men to whom the destinies of this
great country—embarrassed in its foreign politics,
distressed at home, and already exhibiting no tri-
thins symptoms of the turbulence and disaffection
which have appeared elsewhere—are committed,
and who, it would appear, have determined once
more to face a Parliament whose predecessor left
them, night after night, in u minority 1 This is
firmness with a vengeance ! But to conclude, the
times are extraordinary times, lied cannot be tri-
fled with. Confidence in the wisdom of the Ca-
binet there is but little—in the honest exertions
of the Parliament not touch more—the people are
weary of petitioning it, and address the King on
the subject of their glicvances, instead of the Le-
gislature. Something must therefore be done to
satisfy the people, and restore that confidence
which formerly existed between the people and
their representatives, and the loss of which threit-
tem the country with so much peril. The
taxes must be reduced to the lowest possible scale—
the salaries of 1,500/., 2,0001., and 3,000/., and
0,0001., must be looked into—the diplomatic branch
of our expenditure revised—the Civil List, and the
1 whole civil establishment, purged of useless sine-
mists and pensioners—the army,— what have we
to do with a large standing army in time of peace?—
reduced--and, finally, u reform in the representa-
tion of the people take place, lest one more sweep-
ing and destructive of " vested interests" ensue of
its own accord. Let these things be looked at—
let the Parliament but give earnest of returning
wisdom and returning interest in the affairs of the
country, and its tranquillity may be maintained, as
well us its confidence regained, and prosperity pro-
moted; but let them be neglected, and no one who
looks with impartiality at the signs of the times will
answer for the consequences.—Morning Advertiser.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, OCT. 30.

A Court was held this day fur the purpose of tak-
ing into consideration the important question on the
subject ofcoals. Alderman &HOLEY officiated for

beloril Mayor.

Mr. ROUTII rose to move, that the report of the
Special Committee appointed in 1828, in relation
to the charges on coals, should be agreed to. lie
then adverted to the enormous sums paid by the
public of the metropolis for that necessary of life,
and contended that the Corporation had been most
unjustly accused of having been instrumental in
keeping up the war-price of a commodity which
ought to have fallen with every other article of trade.
lie adverted to the leading features of the report,
which recommended the abolition of the land metuge
system, the repeal of the duty on sea-borne coal,
and other measures, which, by contributing to en-
hance the price of coals, pressed hard upon the
poor. lie also, in strong terms, reprobated the
existing combination amongst the great coal-owners
of the North, and declared that he had a strong re-
liance upon the aid of Government in repressieg so
pernicious a conspiracy. After some further obser.
vations, Mr. Routh concluded by moving,, " that
the Court do agree with the Committee in their re-
port."---(l-sear, hear.)
Mr. TICKNER seconded the motion. The poor
man would derive an enormous advantage from the
suggestions of the Committee, if they were adopted;
the reduction he expected from the struggle was as
much as 12s. a chaldron.

Mr. PELLATT only objected to one thing—the
deferring of the period et which it was proposed to
take off the duty of six shillings per clialdron.
Mr. RINIARDSON moved as an amendment 'hut 11
petition be presented for the removal of all re-
strictions.

Mr. ScALEs was also for an unrestricted took.
Mr. CLARICE; spoke in favour of the Report very
warmly, and described the combinations as existing
in the fullest extent.

Mr. BLEADEN conceived that the mutter could
not be adequately investigated any where except in
the Co►►l and Corn Committee.—(l.lear.)
Mr. THORNHILL ►►ltogether disapproved of the
Report, as fallacious in all its conclusions.
After some observat►ons from Mr. RotiTu, the
amendment was negatived by a large majority, and
the Report was agreed to.—Adjourned.

if the old adage be true that laughter i 5; one
of the best preservers of health, the public at large may be
congratulated on the expected appearance of a novel which

DEATH OF BAYARD.---The spring of 1524
brought on an action, if the attack of one point can be called
such, which proved decisive for the time, IiosNIVIr:T
advanced rashly beyond the Tesino. The Imperialiso,
commanded by four able Generals, Lantrot, Pest;Aaa,
Bounator, and SVOnZA, succeeded in almost cutting off
his retreat. They at the same time refused Dom.:lves
offer to engage. They hoped to weaken him by famine.
The Swiss first murmured against the distress occasioned
by want of precaution. They deserted across the river,
and Burrs tvET, thus abandoned, was obliged to make a pre-
cipitate and perilous retreat. A bridge was hastily flung
across the Sessia, near Romagnano; and Ilorssaver, with
his beat knights and gensdarmerie, undertook to defend the
passage of the rest of the army. The Imperialists, led on
by Ilottanoti, made a furious attack. BONNIVET was
wounded, and he gave his place to IlAvAan, who, never
entrusted with a high command, was always chosen fur
that of it forlorn hope. The brave Vssulent,,,,e tray soots
killed ; and Mayans himself recttived ft gnu-Shot through
the reins. The gallant Chevalier, feeling his wound
mortal, caused himself to he placed in a sitting posture be-
neath a tree, his face to the enemy, and his sword fixed in
guise of a crass before him, The Constable Bouts Siosrs
who led the Imperialists, soon came up to the dying BAY:,
Attu, and expressed his compassion. " Weep not for me,

my duty ; thou art betraying thine."—Dr, Lardner'a

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET,

On Saturday Henry Palmer alias Smith, was
brought forward for a re-examination, on a charge of
having fraudulently and feloniously disposed of a
certain bill of exchange, being the acceptance of
Mr. Richard Nassau Rolton, without the csnsent or
knowledge of that gentleman.
Mr. Ferdinand Brand, solicitor, Guildhall-build-
ins, and Mr. Harmer, attended for the prosecution;
and Mr. Curwood, the barrister, and Mr. E. Isaacs)
the solicito_rt appeared for the prisoner.
Nassau floltoh was Lieutenant and Adju-
tant in the 84th Regiment of Foot. In July last he
saw an advertisement in the newspapers, proposing
to advance 5,0001. on good bills or other security.
Application was directed to be made to Mr. Smith,
No. 41, Dukestreet, St. James's, and witness, be-
ing in want of a temporary loan, applied at the
above arldres, and saw the prisoner, who represented
himself as Mr. Smith. In the course of some con-
versation which passed between them, the pri-
saner spoke of his having been formerly in the Navy,
and also of his having had property to the amount
of 30,000/. Witness finally negotiated with the
prisoner for a loan of money, for which he was to
give bills of exchange, drawn by Colonel Morris,
and accepted by himself. The prisoner was to re-
ceive .5 per cent. for his agency, besides which the
witness was to pay 10 per cent. upon the sum ad-
vanced. On the 16th of July witness bad another
interview with the prisoner, who told him that the
gentleman who was to advance the money had agreed
to do so, but wished beforehand to see his (wit-
ness's) acceptances. The prisoner than sent
for some stamps, and witness accepted four bills
of exchange of 50/. each, and one bill for 20/.
The prisoner drew out the bills, leaving a blank for
the name of the drawer, and it was agreed that he
should bring the bills anti money on the following
day, at five o'clock, to Ibbetson's Hotel, where wit-
ness and Colonel Morris should meet him, and at
which time the latter was to sign his name to the
bills as the drawer. Witness and Colonel Morris
went to the hotel at the hour appointed, but the
prisoner did not attend; and upon going to his
lodgings in Duke-street, St. James's, they were
informed that he had gone away that morning. Wit-
ness never saw the prisoner again until last Thurs-
day, when he was taken into custody. 011 the 12th
of October he (witness) was arrested for the 20/,
bill at the suit of a person named Henry Hallett,
and immediately paid over the amount, together
with 101. costs, to the sheriff, with a view to resist
payment of the bill. _

-Mr. Harmer asked the witness if he had, either
directly or indirectly, received the smallest value
for the bills in question ?
The witness replied certainly not; and added,
that Hallett, the party into whose bonds the 204
bill had Mien, was wholly unknown to him.
Mr. Curwood—You handed over the bills to the
prisoner, did you not ? Witness—l certainly slid
upon the condition that Colonel Morris was to affix
his name to them as the drawer.

Mr. thus asked if the bill for 204, upon which
Lieutenant Bolton had been farmed, could be pro-
duced.

Mr. Harmer had taken the best means of pro-
curing its production by causing a summons to be
..orved upon Mr. Hallett, the holder, requiring his
attendance at this examination, for the purpose of
producing the bill and giving evidence, if required.
He (Mr. Harmer) had also caused a summons to
be served on a person named Hart, who had acted
as Hullett's attorney in the business; but neither of
these parties 1)10 thought proper to attend.
The summoning clerk was then called forward,
and deposed that he served a summons upon Hallett
at his residence in South Molton-street, requiring
his attendance that dey to give evidence and pro-
duce the bill. Witness was told at the house that
Mr. Hallett would attend and give every information
upon the subject. Witness also served a like sum-
mons upon Mr. Hurt, the attorney.
Mr. Harmer Said, that until the bill was pro-
duced, he could riot precisely say what course
would be adopted. He should now propose to call
the person at whose house in Duke-street the pri-
soner had lodged, to prove that he had there repre-
sented himself as belonging to the Foreign-dice,
that he lived at Woolwich, and that his name was
Smith; that he merely wanted the apartments for a
few hours in the day to see gentlemen, that lie took
possession of them on the 10th of October, and
abruptly left them on the 17th, the day prior to
that on which Mr. Bolton had left the bills in his

possession. Mr. Harmer added that Colonel Morris,
Mr. Bolton's father-in-law, was also present for the
purpose of proving that be never put his name, us
drawer or otherwise, to the bills of exchange in
question.
Mr. HALLS considered that it would be better to
defer tithing any further evidenceuntil the bill should
be produced. The Magistrate added, that trans-
actions of this description had been carried on with
so much impunity of late, that the concoctors of
them had grown daring and impudent from the suc-
cess which they had met with. The present case,
he considered, formed a new feature in these trans-
actions, inasmuch as it was formerly the practice for
those sort of speculators to get a bill into their
hands signed by-both drawer and acceptor, but here
the acceptance only was required to effect the fraud.
After some farther conversation, it was finally
settled that the prisoner should be remanded for a
week, and that fresh summonses should be issued to
enforce the attendance of Hallett and Hart, the
former to produce the bill ; and, at Mr. thrmer's
desire, the summoning clerk was directed to say,
that if the parties still declined to attend before the
Aingiitrates, warrants should be immediately issued
for t heir apprehension.
Two solicitors were present, who had been in-
structed by their respective clients to attend the
examination for the purpose of preferring similar
charges against the prisoner : one of them stated
that his client,a clergyman in Cheltenham, bad been
defrauded of 300/.

Mr. Ilm.t-s told the gentleman to attend on the
next examination, and to write in the mean time to
procure the attendance of their clients, and what-
ever evidence they should deem necessary to bring
forward should also be produced.
• The prisoner was then removed from the bar.
M A RYLEBONE.

On Saturday Timothy Gleesom, one of the" fine
peasantry," was brought up before Mr. GRIFFITH,
charged with defrauding Miss Johanna Sullivan, a
short squat, countrywoman of his own, of 3/. 10s.,
under pretence of paying the Priest's fee■ for duly
inducting Miss Sullivan into the ancient family of
the Gleesons.

Miss Johanna Sullivan stated that, come four
years ago, she emigrated from Kerry, the Great
Agitator's own county, and " walked" all the way to
London. She obtained a place, which turned her
in the magnificent sum of one shilling per week ;
this she exchanged in a little time for an advance
of sixpence on the week's income, and subsequently
advanced still higher in the world, for she got em-
ployed in a milk walk, at 3s. 6d. No one deserved
her good fortune more than Johanna Sullivan, for,
instead of sporting new gowns for her earnings,
Johanna carefully deposited them, sixpence by six-
of an old stocking, which had
pence, in the vamp
journeyed with her from the Reeks, and when she met
Tim Gleeson, about six months ago, she had accu-
mulated, by " hard screwing," no less thati:lo/. Tim
was " reared in the nexht doore" to Johanna Sul-
livan, and, of course, she was " mighty" happy at
meeting him ; Tim was " mighty" happy too. They
talked of Kerry and the Reeks—of the fairs and the
patrons—of the dance after Mass on Sundays, where
Tim shone the darling of the girls, until at length
they talked themselves into love in downright ear-
nest. Johanna acquainted Tim of the little koul-
baurha she had in the stocking, and Tim w„ most
anxious to get married at once, But Miss Johanna
Sullivan had more foresight, and told Tim 'twould
be much better to !valt.ii bit; and, for fear of acci-
dents, she determined on putting the koulhaurha
in the SavingV Bank, and none seemed a more fitting

agent to employ on the occasion than Tim Meson;
and to Tiin accordingly she entrusted the money for
that purpose. Tim brought her back a book, in
which the deposit, as he alleged, was duly entered;
and, the " schoolmaster" not being in Kerry in the
juvenile days of Johanna Sullivan, she was fain to
take Tim's word of honour that all was right. In
a fortnight after she gave him a further sum of
3/. 10s. to add to the 101.; and the whole, Tim as-
sured her, was entered in her own name. A few
days ago, Johanna, having half a sovereign, and
Tim not being in the way, hied to the bank to fund
it, when, to her inexpressible horror, she found that
Tim Gleeson, her own cash la eta chrcc, had not
only vested the money in his own name, instead of
her a, but, after it had been in a few days, drew it
all out, got drunk with tile money, and was still
getting drunk with it—a circumstance which fully
(recounted for his keeping out of Johanna's presence.
" Well, Mr. Gleeson," demanded the Magistrate,
" what have you to say to this scandalous atEsir ?"
" Vhy, you see, your Vorchip," replied Tim Glee-
son, " Joanny an' I at &At wur goin to marry, but
we thought the money war'nt enough, an' so Joanny
vented me to go by myself an' sind for her nexht
year ; but I vurl'nt lave Joanny upon no account,
an' thin we 'greed to get married at vonsht, an' I
drew the money out to do that. But 1 got dhrunk,
bad luck to it, an' losht the money an' my place
into the bargain, barring two ponn is, Aid' I giv
her back, an' she 'greed to give me 12 months to
pay the remainder.'
Joann)! admitted Tim's statement to be all true ;
and she was willing," bekays she vud'nt do Tom no
harm," to take security for the repayment, but se-1
curity she must have.

" Would it not be possible," asked Mr. GRIF-
FITH," to arrange .the mutter amicably by getting
married at once?" Miss Johanna Sullivan hung her
head and blushed. " I've no objection, if Tim is
greeable to it." _

" You hear what she says," exclaimed Mr. GRIF-
FITH to Tim, " she is willing to forgive you if you
marry • her. Tim Gleeson scratched the dexter side
of his sinciput. " Faith," be responded, " I don't
know, your Honour, but 'mould be the pleasantest
vay of settling it." " An' ni ray the priest," cried
Joanny," out of the 21."

" You are too good-natured a girl," observed Mr.
GRIFFITH, and " deserved a better return than Mr.
Gleeson gave you. But he must certainly make
out the marriage money himself.'
Tim's brother pledged 'himself to raise 2/. in the
course of the day.
" And I'll keep the warrat open 'till I hear ye
are married," added the Magistrate.
"To the priest thin they hurried;"—Johanna's
c .ultenance expressive of the pleasure she felt st:i he
unexpected issue of her differences with Tim Gleeson.
