DEATH FROM FIGHTING,

On Monday last one of those pugilistic. encounters which
frequently disgrace the environs of the metropolis took
place between two men named Truitt and Neale, for a
miserable stake of ten shillings. The ring was formed' on
the Isle of Dogs, and a great number of persons, as well as
the combatants, came across from the Surrey side to wit-
ness the combat. Tyason was seconded by a man named
Sweeney, brother to a prize-fighter of that name, and the
other man was seconded by a person named Scott. The
men fought for upwards of hell an hour; but Neale, who
was a blacksmith, being far the heaviest and strongest,
punished his antagonist so dreadfully, that be WAN taken
sty the field in a pitiable state, and conveyed to the hospital
ship Grampus, lying off Greenwich, when, in a few mo-
ments after he had been taken there, he died. The seconds
and principals, when they learned the fatal result, kept
out of the way. Infm illation of the occurrence was sent
to Mr. Baker, the Coroner far Middlesex, who forthwith
directed that a Jury should be summoned to investigate
the affair; but an unexpected obstacle presented itself, as
it was filund that the Grampus lay on the Kent shore,
and consequently out of his (Alr. B 'kW's) jurisdiction.
Mr. Cutter, the Coroner for Kent, however, wished
Mr. Baker to hold the inquest, stating at the same time
that the body had been moved to the Ferry-house, on the
Middlesex side of the river; but, upon summoning &Jury,
it was ascertained that the body still lay in the Grampus,
consequently professional obstacles still presented them.
selves to Mr. Baker ; because, if the inquest was composed
of Middlesex Jurors, be could not take them into Kent to
view the body, and if they returned a verdict, the guilty
parties would, in all probability, escape justice, from the
illegality of the Coroner's w4rrant and proceedings. Under
these circumstance's Mr. Baker preferred leaving the in-
quest to Mr. Carttar, and waited on the Magistrates et
Lambeth-street yesterday, to apprise them of the eirctun-
stance that had occurred, so that they might, if they
thought fit, issue their warrant for the apprehension of the
offenders. The Magistrates, learning that the officer* at
Union-hall were in pursuit of the parties implicated, con-
sidered that it would be better to leave the floater in their
hands until the inquest had been holden by Mr. Center.
The deceased was a trunk-maker by trade, and has left
a wife and two infant children.

SPIRIT OP Tfll PUBt/C, JOURNALS.

We regret to learn that the Duke of Wellington,
en his return from the Flouse'Of Lords on TuesdaY,
was assailed by a mob of ignorant and misguided
persons with marks of popular indignation, too un-
equivocal to be misunderstood. Not satislied•with
!hissing awl heating the Prime Minister; it is added
that he was even pelted with missiles, which exposed
him to Some degree of danger,• from which he vra.
only rescued hit he forbearance of the mob towards his
Grace's servant, who stuck close to his master, de-
termined to *share his danger. All this is in the
!highest Oegree disgraceful. That the Duke of Wel-
lington, ,'whose splendid military career offers one of
the brightest, if not the most brilliant page in his
country's history, should ever become an object
of any thing but love and attachment from his
countrymen, is a circumstance greatly, to be de-
., plored. We fear, however, that it is but too true,
Oat the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula and
Watetlon, and as First Lord of the Treasury
in Downing-street, is very different character
in the estimation of a large part of the commu.
pity. Be k so. We wish it were otherwise;
but we /ear it is so, In the exercise of our
own vocation we have ourselves repeatedly, as
we apprehend, on but too solid grounds, con•
damned the Minister with as much zeal as we have
applauded the General. Nor should we, therefore,
condemn any part of the community, who took a fair,
manly, reasonable mode of showing the Duke the
diminished state of popularity in which his political
conduct has involved him. But that any part of the
people of England should be so base, so degraded,
and so cowardly, as to use personal violence to the
once justly-.valued idol of their admiration, and
should hunt such a man as the Duke of Wellington,
as they would a mad dog, through the streets, is us
degrading to them as the Duke's high and imperial).
able fame has been, and must ever be, glorious to
himself. We are warm friends to the free exercise
and expression of popular opinion. But popular '
opinion to be respected, must be respectable : and
who will attach any thing but contempt and infamy
to those, who, lost in the crowd, vent their ani-
mosity towardi the statesman in acts of personal
violence to the man ? No—that is not the way in
which the boasted march of intellect would teach a
nation of freemen to treat the first servant of the
Crown, even were he not such a man as the Duke
of Wellington ; on whom we ourselves wage war
on the par( of the people With the weapons of
truth and reason, not of party virulence and mis-
guided personal rage. A few weeks at farthest—per-
haps a few days—will show the country what the
Duke of Wellington proposes to do towards the
relief of the calamities which have too long impended
over the country. Let the people patiently await
the development of events, which violence cannot
accelerate, but may delay. Let them, above ell, re-
member, hat they have a King on the throne who
every day evinces more and more the sympathy
which he'entertains towards every class of his sub-
jects. The Minister of William the Fourth cannot
tither trample upon the liberties of the people, or
turn a deaf ear. to their distresses, where he even
so inclined---for this plain reason, that his master
will not let him. Let us, then, for the honour of
our country, hear no more of personal violence, or
any unmanly conduct towards the Duke of Welling-
ton. As to fear or danger, they must be feelings
quite unknown to the bravest man of the age, and
all attempts of the kind can only recoil upon the
assailants. The Duke of Wellington might have
been, and still may be, as popular in the Cabinet as
in the field; and, much as we deplore the delay and
•the drawbacks which have occurred to prevent his
beving:hitherto become so,. we do not despair that,
as'the Minister of the most popular Monarch, his
Graee may 'soon again become the most popular
subject of the empire..—/Iforning Lierald.

We publish a letter signed " An Englishman,"
although, in the words of the writer," it needs no
ghost to tell ns" that en English sun never shone
on his nativity or breeding. The vanity, acrimony,
and soreness of the writer, betray him in every line.
So it is plainly intimated that the " conserpiences
which might have resulted from Mr. Daniel
nell's encounter " with Sir Henry Hardinge, were
qua as Ireland ought not to have been exposed to !
We wonder bow many persons living, of those who
have whole coats upon their backs, would rate at
such a price any accident to the learned gentleman
from the pistol of Sir Henry Hardinge ? One
person certainly ; just one, and no more. But " the
murderer of O'Connell" would, at all events, get a
Eeerage! And he would persuade us that "an
nglishman" indite* trash like this. Then, for the
candour of this." Englishman." We said that Mr.
Daniel O'Connell's conduct had given us " inex-
pressible disgust," and, putting that construction on
the words we used which is best edapted to his
,purpose, this Milesian " Englishman" insinuates`
;het our disgust, was occasioned by Mr. O'Connell's
"refusal to fight." It is, we repeat, a gross mis-
representation, so to describe our meaning. The
" refusal to fight," if taken per se, has, nor
only in Mr. O'Connell's case, but in every other,
our sincere applause and sympathy, as it
roust have those of all conscientious Chris-
tians. That, however, for which we have neither
sympathy nor respect, but which, on the contrary,
moves our " inexpressible disgust" and abhorrence,
h the hypocritical conversion to base purposes of
this pious and exemplary resolution. A man may
so outrage and persecute his fellow-creature, that
no mode of redress is left for him but by a course,
which, considered apart from such criminal adjuncts,
• would be in the last degree reprehensible. A man
who abuses, calumniates, and thereby wrongs his
neighbour, so as to create on behalf of the latter a
manifest title to indemnification, while at the same
time the species of injury (however terrible the
degree) is one to which the law can not administer
any adequate remedy—that aggressor is regarded
by the common consent of mankind as bound to
pawn hls own personal safety in redemption of
his victim's far more valuable reputation._ It
therefore, not the mere denial of jnstice which
revolts us : it is the wanton perpetration of injury,
with a previous and well-calculated assurance of
impunity, from the systematic denial of redress.
There is in this a mingled evidence of impudence,
ruffianism, and depravity, of which when we say
that it fills us with " disgust," there is nothing but
pitiful absurdity In the assertion that such disgust
is caused by only a single member of the whole con-
nected series of offences. But " insult and injury
have been inflicted" upon Mr. O'Connell's country
by Sir Henry Hardinge, in issuing the proclittnation
alluded to. Sir Henry Harding. is but an erect'.
titre minister of the instructions of his superiors; and
might not have been consulted by them on the owe.
sion, and thirst not have disobeyed their commands.
Was it not, then, extremely disengenuous, and even
dastardly, in the agitator to fling the entire weight of
popular fury at the head of this subaltern officer?---
And, with regard to the alleged justification of Mr,
O'Connell's violence,--the " insulting and injuring
his country,"—who is it that really insults, end in-
jures, and threatens to lay waste, and to desolate,
Ireland, if it be not Mr. O'Connell himself, who
makes 5,000,000 of men the tools or stalking 119rses
of 'his own aspiring selfishness, and devotes his in-
' twee, activity, perseverance, and subtlety—every
thing hut his fortune and his person, both of which
rise wotolY held, sacred by the learned gentleman,—
to the overthrow of every authority and institution
through which Ireland has been raised into political
existence, and to the prospect of eventual good ?
We conclude by strenuously invoking from the
Government the most diligent and liberal investiga-
tion into whatever causes may still retard the pro-
gress of trenquillity in Ireland, and the growth of
native capital, or the transfer of wealth from Great
Britain. We should insist upon the completion

TO TFIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

SlR,—What a pity, what a sad pity, that Mr. O'Con-
nell has not violated the laws of. Gad• and man, to save
you from a feeling of " inexpressible disgust." What a
pity that he has not exposed the cause of his country
to the consequences which might result from his encounter
with a person manifestly hiring his pistol to the dastardly
enemies of Ireland. No bad speculation, either; for I
should set down the murderer of O'Connell as the most
fortunate member of that trade,—a Peerage at all events
for him. • So then, Sir, in your opinion, a Christian,
strictly adhering to the Christian's law, needs to "explain"
and "justify" such his resolution. • And how, according
to the Times, is he to explain and justify ? By looking
tamely on at the infliction of insult and injury upon his
country ? Conscious of the power to lacerate and holdup
to universal execration the wretched instrument of oppres-
sion, it seems the Christian must not venture to exercise
the faculty of thb citizen ; and above all he must not dare
to " e‘nploy.offensive and outrageous terms of insult, be
they ever so appropriate and merited, such liberties being
specially reseeyed for, gentlemen, who are ready, on the
call of honour, to become murderers or murdered ! Permit
tne to exclaim with the poet*— 0 tempera ! 0 mores /
and thus to interpret the exclamation, Oh ! Times / is this
your system of morality ? How charmingly safe is the
assertion of the Times, that the Christian ought scrupu-
lously and religiously to abstain from the display of man-
ners and utterance of language likely to wound the honour
of another individual. There needs no chest, come front
the dead, to tell us this. But wonderful indeed would ,be
the power of manners and of language, if either, ,or both
combined, could wound the honour of any individual,—
Heretofore, I always imagined that the only wound which
honour could receive was from its owner ; and that the
words of others, whether true or false, could do no more
than proclaim that violation. If this view were correct,
Sir Henry Hardinge's feelings must have been completely
sheathed (his conscience suggesting no reproach), when
Mi. O'Connell stated in writing that "no man was more
ready to disavow and contradict any error in point of fact
into which he may have fallen." But, alas, poor Sir Henry
was not in a condition to be atoned in such a way, and
consequently the fastidious editor of the Times has con-
ceived "inexpressible disgust."—l am, Sir, with much
respect for Mr. O'Connell's patriotic and Christian con-
duct throughout the affair in question, with contempt for
the instrumentality to which Sir Henry Hardinge has
lent himself, and with regret for your anti-Irish preju-
dices, AN ENGLISHMAN.

• The public is now pretty well convinced, we be-
lieve, of the truth of the observation made in this
Paper six weeks tigo,that the present French
Ministry could not possibly last, and that sooner or
later it must give way, either to the force of public
opinion, which was decidedly against it, or to the
still more convincing argument of an appeal to arms.
The Paris Papers, even those in fact whose office
it is to.speak in favour of the Ministry, now allow
that such is the situation of affairs; and, we, there-
fore, expect every hour • to receive an account'of "as
radicata change in its construction as would be that
of the introduction of the Whigs into office here,
and the . expulsion of the Tories from the snug
places and fat sinecures which they have enjoyed,
with so few intermissions during the last 70 years.
For this result the French Ministry has to thank
its own wisdom as much as the ,spirit.now prevalent
in France. Had it entered from the first into the
feelings of the people, and instead of endeavouring
to repress them, rather shown an inclination to lend
the way in the path of reform, its reign might have
been endless ; but its first decision appears to have
been, that although the revolution was good and im-
periously called for, it ought not to extend beyond
those limits within which it judged it advisable to
circumscribe it; and al its acts, since its admission
to office, have shown that it was more anxious to
controul than to lead the public mind. It has done
little or, any thing, for example, for the liberty of
the Press, which is omnipotent in France—it has
rather endeavoured to repress its follies and effer-
vescence, than to strengthen itself by a free ex-
pression of its opinions—it has instituted many
odious and uncalled-for prosecutions, and, finally, in
order the more completely to disgust thine who had
to mourn the loss of friends and relatives in the late
revolution, it endeavoured to trick the people into
an abolition of the punishment of death, for the
purpose of saving the lives of men whose lives
were not worth saving, and who, assuredly, de-
served no mercy at the hands of the people of Paris.
These are some of its sins of commission, and it
would be too tedious to enumerate those in the
way of omission of which it has been guilty. Suf-
fice it to say, that, with' the best intentions in the
world, the present Government has contrived,
whether for the peace or disturbance of Europe re-
mains to be seen, to render itself as unpopular as
any Government can well be, and that we expect
to hear, by the next, arrival of its replacement by
another more energetic in its conduct and more re-
publican in its spirit. The Minister of Justice,
M. Dupont de l'Eure, will, no doubt, be the chief
of it.—Morning Advertiser.
There is a sympathy between nations which be-
comes strong in proportion to the facilities of mu-
tual intercourse, and the promptitude with which
feelings and ideas, as well as the more cumbrous
materials of mercantile traffic, can be communicated
from people to people. That this sympathy is
stronger at the present moment than it has ever
been known in any former age, there cannot, we
suppose, be any doubt whatever in the mind of any
rational observer of the affairs and transactions of
mankind. This, upon the whole, we believe to be
a very favourable symptom of ie progress of the
human race in the career of knowledge, of virtue,
and of happiness. But we cannot at the same time dis-
guise from ourselves that there are dangers and cala-
mities incident to this progress, which it ought to be
the first object of every wise and prudent nation to
avoid. The vulgar error of supposing that the progress
of nations in knowledge, virtue, or happiness, can
be accelerated by the sudden and violent transfer
of political power to the numericsl majority of the
people, has already received, or is about to receive,
a striking and melancholy illustration in the cases of
France and Belgium. In both, the physical force
of the rabble has burst the bounds which restrained
it. In both, democracy reigns- triumphant. In
both, national happiness, virtue, and prosperity, are
extinct or invisible. In France we behold a Go-
vernment attempting to propitiate the people by
consenting to the sacrifice of men,. whoie death the
King, the Ministers, and. the Legislature have une-
quivocally pronounced unnecessary, and - therefore
unjust ; in other words, we there behold the adhe-
sion of the people to the Government precariously
maintained by means of an act which the latter has
already declared to be, in its estimation, murder.—
But we find, moreover, that this surrender of the
conscience of the Government to the fury of the
people is not enough. The Ministers are to be
dismissed, the Chamber of Deputies to be
dissolved, a new Chamber to be elected by
univerial suffrage,' to be 'instituted to 'please the
people thus eager for blood. Who can believe, in
these circumstances, that the Crown of King
Philip, or the head which wears it, is safe for
three months? . Who can believe. that France is
destined, to escape a sanguinary reign of anarchy
and terror? Who can doubt that she will have
to retrace her , steps through much peril and suffer-
ing'? 'The situation and prospects of Belgiurn are
still more deplorable than those of France. - There
we already behold anarchy and terror in full domi-
nion. Throughout this unfortunate country no man
can say that any thing—that his property, his' per-
son, his voice, or his conscience, is his own. The
vagabonds of every country are there collected, and,
under the title of the defenders of freedom, practise
a domestic tyranny the most galling and oppressive.
Honest citizens have no longer a borne, for their
homes have become the dens of infamous plun-
derers and marauders, who,. in the sacred name
of liberty, practise every species of insolence, vio-
lence, and extortion, The experience of free
quartets has roughly awakened the respectable in-
habitants of Belgium from the dream of political
freedom which they once so fondly indulged. But

the tide of democracy has set in. They im-
pelled its:Waves, and they are overwhelmed as they
deserve. •
,To complete the felicity of their con-
dition, the ProVisional Government, the organ of
democracy, has- just discovered that they want
money. A voluntary and patriotic, or to speak
plainly, a forced loan, is accordingly added to all
the other calamities of that class of the people in
Belgium who have anything to give or to lend.
Such are the circumstances of two countries which
are at the present moment under the influence of
democratic revolution. And, can it then be said
that the British nation has nothing to fear ? Is it
so sure to escape the effects of that moral contagion
for the spread of which the actual state of human
Society affords extraordinary and increasing faci-
lities, that it can afford at this moment to en-
gage in the small game of parties and of fac-
tions ? Is there any duty so imperative upon all
the respectable and influential classes of society
as that of rallying round the Government—
of presenting a determined knit to democratic
encroachment—of strenuously , maintaining and
Upholding the established institutions of the
State? The present Session of Parliament will
enable the country to judge of the character of its
various classes of statesmen. The factious and the
patriotic will now respectively and permanently
take their stations in public estimation. • The sal-
vation of the world raises us above the ordinary
sphere of party conflicts. The great object of all
parties ought to be to preserve the Constitution of
Great Britain during a season of immediate and
peculiar danger. It is not necessary to say that the
present Administration is the best possible AdminiF-
tration. It is only necessary to inquire who would
in fact be the most likely to succeed them if they
were displaced, and whether the only change that
could be expected is such, as to justify any man,
who, in the hope of effecting that change, should
pursue a course manifestly, calculated to impair the
energy and strength of the British Government, in
the actual circumstances of the titres abroad and at
home? This is the plain practical question for the
Members of the Legislature. We feel the fullest
persuasion that they will not hesitate to answer it as
they ought.—Morning Post.
Blackwood's Magazine for November opens with
a long article under the title of " Political Anticipa-
tions," full of abuse of the .Duke of Wellington and
Sir Robert Peel, for conduct which, for the most
part, entitles them to the gratitude of the people.
The Orangemen, will not soon forgive the Duke of
Wellington; but their day is over. If the Duke
had no other enemy to combat, he might proceed
with confidence. But the period is one of peculiar
difficulty; and though the hostility of the Orange
Writers be of little consequence, the facts which they
state are not the less entitled to serious attention.
All anxieties, of ancient. or modern growth
(says the writer in Blackwood), foreign or domestic,
will be s Nallowed up in the one overwhelming judg-
ment—yes ! we may call it a providential judgment
—which is now gathering upon this apostate Cabinet
from Ireland, the theatre of its apostacy. Oh !
righteous retribution 1 that even there, where they
sinned against the light of their consciences, the
heaviest cloud of panic and confusion is gathering to
blight their councils."--ApoStacy I , Well—and
supposing there had been no apostacy, to use this
absurd term—would the cloud ,of panic and con-
fusion have been the less heavy ? Was it to be
tolerated that the people of Ireland should be di-
vided for ever into oppressors, and hewers of wood
and drawers of water ? • The time was 'come, when
the system could not be longer upheld. The motive
of the Duke of Wellington might differ from that
which he gave out. The writer in Blackwood, who
speaks with much confidence, says that the Duke
has given different versions of his reasons for eman-
cipation. He speaks of his view of the ease, being
" countenanced by the many different accounts
which his Grace has given of his reasons for that
job, doubtless with entire veracity at the moment,
notwithstanding the utter irreconcileability of the
several statements. In particular we vouch for the
following as one of his various versions of the case.
Soon after the Bill was first launched upon the
astonished Parliament, the Duke of Wellington wrote
to two or three among the great territorial aristo-
crats, explaining his motives, and varnishing the
case. One; of these favoured friends, whom the Mi-
nister thought it necessary to propitiate, was the
Duke of Rutland; his letter we did not sec, but we
did see one to another great man, which, in the
opening sentence, was declared to be of the same
terms and date as that to his Grace of Rutland...

Now, in this letter, the Noble inditer, disclaiming
all the pretences with which he had imposed on
Parliament, avowed as his real and substantial res.
sons for granting emancipation, not the hope of con.
ciliation, and all that by which ' the marines'
were hocussed—but simply, that without some such
boon he could not trust the army,' being in so
large a proportion Popish.". Allowing that the
Duke was afraid of the army, does this.prove that
conciliation was not called for ? If we cannot have
an army which shall not be more than half Catholic
it would be foolish to provoke a Catholic insurrec-
tion. But then a storm is now impending over Ire-
land! No doubt there is such a storm. But the
storm is not the fault of Catholic, Emancipation—
long-continued mis-government has produced here
its usual effects ; and the delay of emancipation
would but have aggravated the evil. However, let
us hear this writer—

" The distress of Ireland, from a total want of poor-laws
is in every case considerable ; even the most prosperous
years are marked by scenes that in other countries would
he thought a scandal to Christianity and civilizition.
Annually do the selfish among the landlords, and the mean
in spirit amongst the very noblest of the land, club their
beggarly quotas to ship off poor labourers, either to England,
for the momentary purpose of scrambling for a pittance
wrested from the impoverished peasantry of England
and Scotland, or else to Canada, where they are un-
mercifully turned adrift by thousands at a time, with-
out any preparation for the climate or the state of
society, and trepanned from their native country
by the foulest misrepresentations. But them and other
scenes of distress are upon a trifling- scale compared
with what is now going on in Ireland as one imme-
diate consequence of the Bill for balancing the Catholic
concession by destroying the forty-shilling freeholders.
This part of the tenantry or cofflore, protected no longer
by their political value as voter*, are every where expelled
without mercy—being now looked on as mere nuisances
and vermin. The land swarms with these miserable out-
casts ; and the coming winter will he the darkest and
most portentous for Ireland that she has long known.
" Such would be the state of things even without poli-
tical ferments. But at this moment of tremendous agita-
tion from wide-spread domestic misery, does Mr. O'Con-
nell descend, like some incarnation of the evil principle,
to vex and plague the wretched land with systematic
agitation for the Repeal of the Union, the Taxation'of the
Absentees at the rate of 75 per cent., and other measures
of that character. Never was Ireland in a situat;on to
give such dreadful effect to his inflammatory doctrine
'The country is overspread by exasperated malcontents •
and in cities crowded with such auditors—Cork, Water.
ford, Kilkenny, and others—he has scattered his fire-
brands with an affected caution to beware of combustibles•

• a • r e •
It is not too much to say, that tho general contempt, the
roars of laughter which ke provoked by his ' vow that was
registered in heaven ;' the blind upon his right hand,'—
and all the rest of his theatrical rants in excuse for his
white feather—these memorable disgraces are the very
pledges for his pushing forward his Union agitation to some
extreme result. lie feels that it is essential for him to do
some great thing to reinstate him in the credit which he
won by his triumph over the whole English Government in
the business of Emancipation, and which be afterwards lost
itio easily to an individual in England. Whatever may be
thought of Mr. O'Connell's motives, considering hint
as a politic man of the world, measuring forces with
a Government as profligate as himself, and a thou-
sand times weaker, at is impossible to refuse him some
degree of sympathy. In Parliament he is nobody ; in
Ireland he is inspired, and bath a demon.' The Duke
of Northumberland becomes a cypher by his side; the
combined Government is ridicultos in his presence ; he
trampled them like mire beneath his feet in'his former
struggle ; if it is possible for Ireland; united as one man, to
resist 60;000 British bayonets, he will do so again."
There is much truth in all this. Why should the
people of Ireland wish to uphold things as they

are? :,Why should a sinecure Church devour so
large a portion of the resources of the nation ? Why
should the great body of the peasantry remain
without the means of acquiring capital ? Will any
man have' the hardihood to say that agitation can
injure Ireland ? .Will any man have the hardihood
to say that an oppressed people ever yet succeeded
in extorting anything from their oppressors, except
through their fears ? We are glad to see that the
writer in_ Blackwood estimates with tolerable cor-
rectness the'efforts of the Presi

" By improved printing, and concurrent improvements
in thearts allied to it, books and journals of every order are
now rapidly coming into the hands of the humblest poor. In
the American United States, even, newspapers are multiplied
with an enormous profusion, and a cost so trifling, that,
with some improvements applied to the art of compiling
such journals, they are likely to supply as much and as useful
reading as a poor man's daily labours will allow him to in.
dulge. Why are they not diffused in the same vast extent
through Europe? ' Simply because the State interferes
every where to cut short the circulation by heavy taxation,
the object iu this being notoriously not mere revenue (for
there is no direct tax levied upon books), but the very
wise one of applying a au, omen or drag to the ruinous
diffusion of political irritation, in carrying speculations so
intelligible and so easily abused to the firesides of the poor.
• • . Immense exertions have been pushed for-
ward by good men and bad' en throughout Europe for the
last twenty-five years, to promote the education of the
poor; and at the very moment when books (as we rejoice
to know) and newspapers (as we tremble to anticipate)
are en the point of being carried plentifully' amongst that
class, the whole body are in the fullest state of preparation
to read and understand them, and to follow at the worst
appeals of incendiary demagogues, in the worst spirit, and
to the last results."

To the best results, however, we hope. Not-
withstanding the alarm of Lord Wilton, and others
of his class, to whom this language is addressed in
Blackwood, the poor will be enlightened in spite of
them. Events have roused the people from their
apathy. They are now prepared ,for good counsel.
The stream cannot be made to turn back. Let,
then, those who wish to perpetuate the reign of de•
lusion and imposture reconcile themselves with the
new state of things ; for their resistance will be
una rail ing.-11forning Chronicle.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSE.

A journeyman baker was charged by his master
with having maliciously thrown a quantity of dough
into the oven. It was stated to Alderman SCHOLEY,
who has sat for some days for the Lord Mayor, that
angry journeymen were very much in the habit of
paying off old scores to their masters, in this manner.
The complainant stated, that the defendant had
the oven department wholly under his care, and that
he was to quit the situation altogether in afew.days.
Witness just got to the oven time enough to save
small part of what he saw the defendant throw in
along with the coals. A baker might be ruined
without much delay by such a practice, as the mate-
rials were always at hand, and discovery was gene-
rally very difficult. He then produced what he had
snatched from the oven, and said •he had no doubt
the object of the defendant was to injure him.
Alderman SCIIOLEY said if that were the object
of the defendant, no punishment could be too rigorous
for him.

The defendant said the dough could never have
been worked into bread, as it had fallen amongst po-
tato-peelings, aad he therefore cast it into the oven
to. perish.
The baker's apprentice said the dough had cer-
tainly fallen from him amongst the potato-peelings,
and the defendant took it up, said it was not fit for
use, as certainly was the case, and threw it into the
oven.

The baker said he could have derived a profit
from it by selling it as raspinga.

Mr. Hobler said it was well known that bakers
used potatoes in making bread, and the mixture, in.
stead of being injurious, was considered necessary.
How then did it happen that the dough which had
merely fallen amongst potato-peelings was thrown
away. as useless P—This 'was rather a difficult' ques-
tion to be answered. The defendant merely said he
meant no evil, but desired to put out of the way what
could not be of any use.
A strange baker then said, My Lord, it is an
every-day occurrence to burn what is not fit for use.
I always allow my men to do so, and this stuff
could never have been made fit for use. As for
this piece, the complainant can still sell it as raspings."
Alderman—l see what a nice sort of baker you
are. This has been burned to a cinder, and ad-
vise him to sell it, although you say it could never
have been made fit for use. Really you ought to
be compelled to eat it.
The complainant said that it was well known to
the trade that a profitable use could be made of the
dough even in the worst state.
It was here stated that dough of the sort described
was often made up for the use of the "'slap-bang
shop," where it was used as a wrapper round fruits,
and was called, 'when smoking hot, apple dumplings.
Although it looked awkward in the making, it was
really very nice after a few pennyworth of " kag-
mag."—(A laugh.)

Alderman ScitoLEY. considered that the defendant
had acted with great impropriety in destroying his
master's property without asking his leave, but he
was also of opinion, from the apprentice's evidence,
that no malicious intention had been proved.
The Bakers' Act, it appears, attaches a heavy
penalty to theoffence with which the defendant was
charged.
A decent labouring man was charged with having
left his wife to the protection of the parish.
The defendant said his debt amounted to no
more than one week's maintenance for his wife, and
a severe injury he had received was the cause of
that. He begged to assure the Alderman that he
had been obliged to live separately from his wife,
and thus contract a larger expense, because she re-
fused to do as the matrimonial law required---" love,
honour, and obey him."
The wife declared that she certainly loved him,
but she did not altogether honour him, because he
had turned her oat of doors to make room for an-
other woman. As for obedience, that was also out
of the question, for if she obeyed him, she must clean
his woman's shoes, and wait upon her at table.

Tic huAgind said it was her own fault that she
was not now with him, but her habits could not be
borne by a poor man.
The wife—llabits what habits ? The husband
—Why, you knoW diet nobody can get you out of
bed until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning;
and as for breakfast, I have been always obliged to
fag for it myself, When I came hUme from wolk.
The wife-n-Well, it's all your own fauli. Why
did you indulge me? If you had not indulged me,
I would not have laid abed.—(A laugh.)
The husband—Who'd think that you would con-
tinue to do so for three years ? The very d—l could
not live with her, please your worship ; for if he did,
he'd have to do every thing for her himself. •
The wife—Why, my Lord, I am really unable
now to do any thing at all; my eyes are bad.
The husband—Your eyes! Why, my Lord, it
was only a short time time ago she complained of
her limbs being bad in the rheumatiz, and I took
her to a doctor. " God bless ydu," says he to me,
" there's nothing the matter with her but want of
exercise." 7- (Laugh t er.)
Alderman Settouv—lt is pretty evident that
there are, as is generally the case, faults on both
sides ; and nothing can justify the conduct of either,
the woman for her laziness, or the man for living
with another woman.

The wife—Well, my Lord, I'll make all com-
fortable for him if he takes me home and sends
away his unlawful comrade.

kfemale voice in the crowd was here heard-
-4t Don't do no Bitch a thing, Jim. You'll have to
wash your own linen as you did afore, if you do.
The wife—There, my Lord, is the very unlaw-
ful body that's in my place.
Alderman ScHOLUY despaired of accomplishing
any thing by his recommendation, and he accord-,
ingiy gave directions to the parish-officers not to

allow the parish to be burdened with a woman when
her husband had another in her place.
