TORYISM AT BRlSTOL.—Torylsnl, we perceive—
it might, perhaps, more properly be designated Terrorism—
continues to exhibit at Bristol those beautiful—those eminently
benevolent, and truly Christian characteristics for which a party
in that modern Gomorrah has so long been famous. What a
beautiful thing is Toryism 1 How fine it is, for instance, to
see a sleek, well fed, high-conditioned town-councillor run
down a" ragged Radical," and gallantly lift hand and voice
to ruin both the fortune and reputation of the poor devil. A
Bristol Tory of the true breed, it has been said, will, even at
the present day, hunt down his game, and kill his man with the
eagerness of a blood-hound. Relentless cruelty, persecution,
unfairness, and exclusion from all places of either profit or
honour, the destruction of fortune, and ruin of reputation, both
personal and professional—these, these are the good things to
which the Tory, if he can, always treats any Liberal man who
determines to act according to the dictate of his judgment in the
conscientious discharge of a public duty. There are at Bristol,
we learn, little people who in their way would be great Tory
tyrants—who emulate the example and assert the principles of
a Newcastle and a Bruen, and would, like the illustrious Duke
and the Carlow Colonel, crush every man who will not pros-
trate his principles, lay down his judgment, and yield up all
manly feeling and every honest and conscientious impulse at
their feet—at the feet of that faction which, even in their
dying moments, clutch the instruments of their former
villainy and despotism. We have been irresistibly led into
this course of observation, by seeing the letter of Mr. Foster
in the Bristol papers, a professional gentleman, who was
guilty of supporting the Liberal candidate of his Ward at the
recent municipal election. This was an offence neither to be
forgiven nor forgotten, and accordingly we find this individual
excluded from a civic situation, to which it appears he had
every claim, save that of being a. Tory slave. We have heard
that a person, said to be m inly influential in this work of po-
litical persecution, has been•recommended by the Town Coun-
cil as one of the Justices under the Municipal Reform Act.
In such a case as is here presumed, too much attention ought
not to be given to the recommendation of a Tory partisan by
a Tory municipality. The Government, we think, would
be fully justified in refusing the appointment to the magis-
tracy of any man whose political prejudices are liable to pol-
lute the stream of justice. The magisterial office should not
only be high, but above suspicion.
INCENDIARISM.—On Tuesday information of the
following fires, the work of incendiaries, was received at the
police stations :—Wednesday, the 27th ult., a sheephouse be-
longing to Mr. T. Neeld, Draycot Folit, Wilts, was completely
destroyed with a small cottage adjoining, and a quantity of
straw and hurdles. Tuesday, the 9th instant, a large bean
rick in a field belonging to Mr. J. Brown, of Chiseldon, same
county, was entirely consumed. Saturday, the 13th instant, a
barn in the farmyard of Mr. John Baldwin, same place, was
burnt to the ground; a wheat stack, a quantity of barley, and
some valuable agricultural implements, also fell a sacrifice.
The head of Fieschi was examined on Sunday, at
Bicetre, when it was found that, though the skull had been
fractured by the bursting of the barrels, the wound had not
penetrated to the brain. This accounts for his having been
able to descend from the room by the rope, and it is possible
that, if he had not been so much weakened by loss of blood, he
would have effected his escape. The phrenologists have not
discovered any remarkable indications on the skull.
DISTRESSING CASE.-It will be recollected that
on Friday, the 12th hist., Jesse Upton, a man in the last stage
of a consumption, was conveyed from Horsemonger-lane Gaol,
where he had been for some time incarcerated at the suit of
one creditor, to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, for the purpose
of taking the benefit of the Act. On that occasion Mr.
Keene, the Governor of the Gaol, having represented to the
Court the condition of the unfortunate man, the Chief Com-
missioner without loss of time proceeded to the vehicle in
which Upton was brought to the Court, and having gone
through the necessary proceedings he was discharged forth-
with. This case appeared to be one of a peculiarly distressing
nature. Upton being a man of the most industrious habits,
but from unforeseen misfortunes in his trade, that of a shoe-
maker, and having a family of' six children, he became in-
volved, and his health declining he was at length arrested
and thrown into gaol. While in prison his complaint in-
creased, although every attention that humanity could dic-
tate was shown by Mr. Keene to alleviate his unfortu-
nate situation, and there is little doubt his speedy
dissolution would have taken place in the gaol, an event
which preyed upon his mind very much, had he not been taken
up to the Insolvent Debtors' Court under the circumstances
above mentioned. On Tuesday Mr. Keene received a letter
from Mrs. Upton conveying the intelligence of her husband's
death, and describing at the same time the gratitude he ex-
pressed in his dying moments for the kind treatment he had
experienced while in gaol, and the happiness conferred upon
him for his subsequent liberation, thereby relieving his mind
and permitting him to expire in the bosom of his family. Yes-
tesday Mr. Keene having been in attendance at Union Hall,
was asked some questions by Mr. Trail relative to Upton's
case, by which it appeared that he was a man of the most in-
dustrious habits, possessed an unblemished character, and that
his distress was the result of ill-health, and the difficulty of
maintaining a wife and six children. Mr. Traill said that
from what he had just heard respecting the unfortunate man's
situation, it was one of those cases which called forth the
greatest sympathy in the behalf of his family, the wife and six
young children, according to Mr. Keene's statement, being
left destitute, and entirely dependent on the widow for their
support. The Magistrate then humanely handed over to Mr.
Keene a handsome subscription in aid of the deceased's widow
and family, who live in the village of Upper Tooting.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—Our cotton market has
been very barely supplied, and extreme prices have been paid ;
the sales to-day amount to about 5,000 bags. We do not
think there has been much speculation.
