[PRICE SD.

Well, as a stopped clock is certain to tell the time
correctly nce in every twelve hours, we think it
very likely that our neighbour's lucky hour has
come round, in reference to this announcement.
We have observed that the ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer has been very moody of late. We can-
not say he has been sulky, because no man of genius
is ever so. But he has been in a state of solitary
contemplation and unwonted taciturnity—moping,
like Gray's owl, and mentally complaining—

Of such as, wandering near his secret bower,
Molest his ancient solitary reign.
First, he has had competitors for his berth—then,
we suspect, a virtual successor. The fact is Sir
R. H. Inglis is endeavouring to believe himself
into the assurance (consummate as that may

be), that he is leader of the Opposition. On
him has fallen the luck of having chosen the field
of " battle of the constitution." Whatever he op-
poses is opposed by the Opposition, Whether by
chance, or by design, he has " awakened and found
himself famous."
... Formerly he brought up the

rear of faction. Now he leads its van. -The reason
is this : Protection is dead, buried, and condemned
to Fiddler's Green. _ There is no longer "a good

cry." Tories are without a cause—without even a
theory. Before the Reform Bill, when themon-

archy- was something, and the aristocracy all in all,
they had a budget of principles. They fought for
the prerogatives of the Crown—they defended the

privileges of the oligarchical institution—they re-
sisted the encroachments of democracy. Later—
when the Reform Bill swept away all these crotchets
—they fell back upon the patronage of great inte-
rests, as contradistinguished from the general weal
of the public. But these have been broken down
one by one, by the irresistible progress of common
sense and common honesty ; and especially by the
growth of a great population, dependent upon none
of those patent privileges of public plunder. Cor-
ruption has been bereaved of its clients by the
besom of destruction and the new broom of reform.
The sugar-hogshead party care nothing now for
that factious sympathy which is impotent, either
to bring back slavery to the West Indies, or a
differential duty in favour of Jamaica. Canada
has lost its timber tax, and its preferential privi-
leges in the shape of protection to its flour and

grain. It cares nothing for champions who only
bewail without restoring it against the loss of its
10s. a barrel and 2/. per load. The shipping in-
terest hears volunteer friends prophesying its ruin

from the repeal of the navigation laws, and lament-
ing the destruction of the " nursery for British
seamen." But it also finds practically that the
navigation laws are abolished—that there is no
chance of their restoratien, and that it is wiser to

make the best of a free trade than to dissipate its
energies upon the vain regrets of faction—and so
Mr. G. F. Young:, has retired to Switzerland.

Nay, even the faring and landed interests have
become tired of jeremiads over the depression of
British agriculture and the discouragement of na-
tive industry, in the face of a steady market and a
universal rise of wages, and display a disposition to

disown Derby and Rew. clegate-Ljus- t as respectable
men who have been betrayed at night into the
Coal Hole, in the Strand, cut their scurvy
companions when they meet them in the so-

briay of the morning streets. A large (cer-
tainly not a great) party suddenly finds itself
without a cause, without principles, without
clients, without a grievance, except that of having
nothing to complain of. What the deuce is it to
do ? It fills the Opposition benches, "as well as
better men." It is, indeed, but "an alligator
stuffed"--a " beggarly account of empty boxes ;"
but is not yet thinly scattered to make up a
show." It has " very good friends," although no
longer "an excellent plot." Nobody will have it—
nobody will take it into its service. The Crown
endured its infliction only as a transitory make-
shift ; the people submitted to its interference
merely that they might not be absolutely without
a Government. It coheres simply by the repulsion
of every other interest in the State, and if it can-
not find clients, it must make them. It rattles the
dice—it posts it last stake—it gambles for power on
the purse of the Church. Yes—that is literally its
last trump card, and it plays it badly. The Jew
Bill has served it for one week—the Clergy Re-
serves Bill has found it in talk for another—it has
spoken against time to prolong the postponement
of the final decision of the Rouse upon the third
reading of the former measure. In short, it has
dwindled into a mere Church party—a purely
ecclesiastical opposition representing not the
country, but the prejudices of the bishops—not
the great interests of the British people, but
the pickings and peculations of a sordid hierarchy.
We witnessed the discussion in committee of the
Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. Sir R. Inglis assumed
the most prominent position. Thesiger, Napier,
Walpole, Pakington, minimised the matter into a
squabble about commas, dots, and parentheses.
They so trifled with the and patience of the
house, that Ministers at last scarcely deigned to
notice or to answer them. But ten o'clock came.
They had thereby tided over the other Church
question until after Easter—and so apparently they
felt they " had done the State some service."
Well, the " Ides of March will come," and we trust
the country will make up its mind to put an end to
this miserable faction and its nonsense. The Jew
Bill must be made law—that's flat. If it were for
no other reason than that the Commons have re-
peatedly passed it, their will must not again be
trifled with. Self-respect, a decent regard for the
rights of their constituents, demand that they
should no longer tolerate the lordly veto upon that
which has for upwards of twenty years, and by
large majorities, been again and again asserted as

the voice of the nation wind of its constitutional re-
presentatives. We must not any more be fobbed
off with sophisms in place of reasons ; or cheated
out of our resolves by mean prejudices clumsily
disguised in pretended patriotism, and the conceited
malignity of bigotry passed off as zeal for religion.
We do not believe that the causes assigned are the
real grounds of opposition to the measure. We en-
counter a resistance on false pretences. No Dissenters,
no Catholics, hesitate to admit the Jews to the rights
of citizenship. The Church party alone would bar
the doors against them—and in their secret hearts
they would, on the same grounds, shut the gates of
the constitution in the faces of the Papists, the
Presbyterians, and the other Dissenting sects.
These are too numerous and too powerfulto be kept
out—that is all. The Jew, on the other hand, like
the charity boy, may be securely persecuted, be-
cause he is weak, and " has no friends." Just look
at the paltry excuses that are urged for his being
kept out on the wrone, side of the pale of the con-
stitution. The chief is, that his admission will
" unchristianise the Legislature." If "a little
leaven," as Thesiger pleaded, " leavens the whole
lump," the question comes to be, which is the
dough, and which the yeast ? The Jews are called
exclusive, set apart, a peculiar people. If they
manifest a disposition to mingle with us, to identify
themselves with our institutions, to enter into our
habits, customs, laws, business, is it not infinitely
more true that, by the intercourse which the
Hebrew people hold with Gentiles, we are Chris-
tianising the Jew, than that the Jew is unchristian-
ising us ? Again—if, by the repeal of the Jew oath
in the case only of Jews, we are unchristianising
the Legislature, wo have already dispensed with
the obnoxious words in the case of the Papists.
Have we unprotestantised the Legislature by the
Catholic oath, or disestablished the Episcopal
Church by the repeal of the Test and Corporation
Acts ? We do not care which answer we receive
to these questions. If Parliament is still Protes-
tant, notwithstanding the Catholic Relief Oath, it
will still be Christian, although it does not ask a
Jew to swear to the New Testament. If the Church
be still established and united' to the State, not-
withstanding the removal of Dissenting disabilities,
then is Christianity a " part and parcel of the law
of the land," although the Hebrews are no longer
robbed of their rights in the name of religion. If,
on the contrary, the status of Protestantism and
of the Church was destroyed by the Catholic and
Dissenting Relief Bills, then there is no longer any
pretext for pleading a national faith for exclusive-
ness in political rights. Then it is gravely urged
that Jews, from the very nature of their religion,
have no identity of feeling or interest with the
nations among whom they settle that their
thoughts and " faces are turned towards
Jeru-
salem "—that they are a nation within them-
selves, with Syria for their fatherland, and that
their mind and heart can never undergo the
process of assimilation into theAeoduntry in which

disingenuousness of this pretext. The sneaking

lieve that no oath will bind the people who, of all
'lhers, are the most tenacious of oaths, to promote
e interest of the country in which they and their
ancestors were bred, born, and have their sole
means of living, because they have a longing for
Jerusalem, and pine for Syria. We might, indeed,
suggest that the electors might be safely left to
deal with this part of the candidate's predilec-
tions. There are many rich and travelled Jews
—but they don't go to Palestine. Even Sir Moses
Montefiore, when he makes a trip to the Holy City,
takes very good care to come back again to Rams-
gate. In fact, the whole affected difficulty of the -
Church Parliamentary flunkeyhood on this point is
mere execrable fudge. If there were anything
real in it, why do they not go much further ? A
senator without patriotism is surely infinitely less
dangerous to the constitution than an active enemy
to its leading features. Why are not Republicans
excluded from Parliament by a monarchical oath,
or democrats by an oligarchical confession ? These
are real perils, but they are left, with a thousand
other particulars, to be dealt with by the electors,
who will take very good care first of all to be satis-
fied of a man's loyalty and patriotism before they
will tolerate him at the hustings. The only other
" bit of blarney" for the notice of which we have
room, is a pretext, the very mention of which
appears an insult equally to the intelligence and
the religion of the nation. The climax of the
Inglis resistance to the bill is that, "to admit -
a Jew to Parliament would be to dishonour. the
Christianreligion, by endowing, with political rights,
one who must believe that our blessed Lord was an
impostor." Now, the proponent of this objection-
calls the Roman Catholic religion anti-Christ, or
opposed to Christ. The confession of faith of the
Church of Scotland, established by law, calls the
Pope " that man of sin and son of perdition ;" yet
episcopacy and presbytery have both admitted
anti-Christ and the followers of the son of perdition
to Parliament. All orthodox sects declare that
" Unitarians are deniers of the Lord that bought
them ;" yet Unitarians are admitted to Parliament.
Nay, the service of the Church of England so-
lemnly turns its face to the Fast on Trinity Sunday,
and we know not how many other days, and de-
voutly consigns all Unitarians to eternal torments
—yet there in the Senate-house sit Mr. Thornley,
Mr. W. J. Fox, besides Sir R. H. Inglis ; and the
Archbishop of Canterbury beside Lord Lovelace
and other Unitarian .Peers. But if the admission •
of Jews to their rights isa dishonour to Christianity
what are we to think of the Church ? The Arch-
bishops of York and Dublin, the Bishops of Nor-
wich, Llandaff, and nearly a dozen more, have all
voted for the removal of Jewish disabilities—and,
therefore, either the Church dishonours Christi-
or the emancipation of the Jews does not.
But here the calls on our space abbreviate the lo-
quacity of our polemics, and we must postpone
what more we have to say " until a more conve-
nient season."

'POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.—.Toseph. Clayworth,
the poultry salesman, of No. 74, Gracechurch-street,
appeared to answer the following complaint :
Police-constable William Baldwin, 537, stated, that
on the night of the 18th inst., at 11 o'clock, he heard
screams of "Murder " proceeding from 74, Gracechurch-
street, and on hastening thither he found the door open,
and a crowd of persons in front of the house. On enter-
ing the shop he saw the defendant beating his wife, and
blood was streaming from her mouth. He parted them,
and observed, "Mr. Clayworth, you should not beat a
woman like that ;" to which he replied, "Turn her out
of my house ;" and having repeated some imprecations
both filthy and awful, added, " I have got something
here, as soon as I can get it, that will do for you." He
then went to the far end of the shop, and, taking down
a hammer, said, "You may draw your truncheon. I
have got something as good as you have." Another
constable arrived, and defendant then flung down the
hammer and went into the parlour, after shaking his fist
in witness's face.

Police-constable Blake, 556, spoke to the violent treat-
ment of Mrs. Clayworth by her husband. About five
weeks ago he interfered, and the defendant threatened
to do for him.

Alderman Copeland asked the defendant to reflect
seriously upon the position he would have been in if he
had killed his wife. When the officers interfered, they
saw blood flowing from her mouth ; and as ho liked to
call things by their proper names, he must say the de-
fendant was a brute. He could send him to prison for
a month, without inflicting any fine ; but as this was his
first appearance, he would fine him 405., and order him
to enter into his own recognisance in 801., to keep the
peace for six months.
The fine was paid.

BOW-STREET.—Jane Davis, who was suffering
with a black eye, and, as she informed the magistrate,
with " dreadful pains all over," was charged with at-
tempting to rob a gentleman of his watch.
The prosecutor, Mr. Frawley, a furrier, stated that
he was walking along Holborn the previous evening at
about nine o'clock, when the prisoner came up to him
suddenly, and snatched his watch out of his pocket, but
did not succeed in getting it from the chain.
The Chief Clerk—What did you do then ?
Witness—l knocked her down. (A. laugh.)
Mr. Day, a respectable tradesman in the neighbour-
hood, was attracted to the spot by the crowd, and,
seeing Mr. Frawley (whom he knew and recognised) en-
gaged in conflict with the woman, he called for
the police. -In about twenty minutes a constable ap-
peared, and the prisoner was secured.

Inspector Wilkinson said that the prisoner was in
custody some time back for robbing a gentleman of
thirty-two sovereigns, but, disliking the probable expo-
sure, he did not appear against her.
The prisoner—Look at my eye, Sir, where he struck
me—and my back and shoulders. I can hardly stand.
Mr. Jardine—l dare say ; but a man hardly stops to
consider where he is striking when he is suddenly at-
tacked in this way. As you did not get the watch, I
shall commit you for a month.

CLERKENWELL.—WiIIiam, Carden was charged
with stealing a 101. note, a 51. note. and other money,
from Mr. James Henry Thompson, of Vincent-street,
Oakley-square, Somers-town.

The prosecutor stated, that on Tuesday night last the
prisoner, who is related to him by marriage, supped
with him at his own residence, and stopped with him
until the next day, when they separated, the accused
stating that business called him to Paddington. On
witness's arriving home in the evening, he missed the
cash from his sleeping-room, and feeling satisfied that
the prisoner only had taken it, he went to him, when ho
said, " Oh, I took it for a joke, and have given it to
uncle to take care of, and you shall have it again to-
morrow morning, if you will go with me." This off-hand
conduct of the accused lulled witness's suspicions until
the next day, when, as the prisoner neglected to keep his
appointment, the prosecutor consulted Abrahams, the
detective officer of the S division, by whom Carden was
captured at the London-docks on Friday, rigged out in
the costume of a midshipman. The policeman on search-
ing the prisoner, discovered where he had taken fresh
lodgings, and on examining them, the constable found
two dozens of new shirts, an equal number of stockings,
and other new articles of clothing in abundance, besides
a dirk, a revolver, and a ship's ticket, Ahowing his in-
tention of making a trip to the diggings. Beyond this
property, the officer had recovered 9/. of the prosecutor's
money.— _

Mr.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked, that the prosecutor was lucky
after all, and asked the accused if he wished to say any
thing. He said, " It's of no use to deny it," and was
committed for trial.

some
of jewellery ; and, on taking
stock, a serious loss wa,s
means he contrived to obtain information of the suspi-
cions against him, and went to France. His wife was
about to follow him, but was stopped at the South-East-

tenintocustody. The wife was

the circumstance of her having

missing articles in her possession, was

brought against her, and she was consequently dis-
charged. The prosecutors caused handbills, offering a
reward for the apprehension of the prisoner and the
_re-
covery of the jewellery, to be circulated here and' in
Paris. Information of the prisoners residence in Paris
having been obtained, application was made to the Freud'
authorities for the apprehension of the prisoner. Some
delay occurred in executing the warrant, and the prisOner
apprehended by John Forrester, and brought
was at last apprehen
to this country. The prisoner was so disguised with
hair, and his appearance was so altered since his resi-
dence in France, that was at first thought the wrong
person had i't
been apprehended, as his passpost did not
agree with his appearance.
Mr. John Hunt, of the firm of Messrs. Hunt and
os P ken jewellers, Bond-street, said --In the course of
~ ,
last year I saw the prisoner at our shop. He was then
without beard, moustaches, or whiskers. The prisoner
often came to the shop, and during that time I missed
articles of jewellery. On taking stock I missed several
rings. Two of these rings I afterwards saw at Messrs.
Attenborough's, pawnbrokers, Newington-canseway. I
afterwards ascertained that the prisoner had opened a
banking account with the British Bank, and had paid in
some 10/. notes, which were the produce of the two
rings pawned at Messrs. Attenborough's. Prom infor-
mation I am in possession of I expect to be able toprove
that the prisoner stole a diamond t bracele
- and other
articles.
The prisoner gave no explanation of the char ge aping
him, and was remanded until Thursday,
