to the robbery, but no clue to the missing man ; the
large sum in gold which he had received on OH pre-
vious day from the French Embassy having been sub-
sequently, with a very trifling deficiency, tt•xeti to
the prisoners, one of whom, Mrs. 111'D,nald, a low-
looking woman with a crutch, alleges that Fhe was
about to elope with M‘Gowran, and declares that her
husband had always been extremely jealous of him.
Mr. BRODERIP further remanded the prisoners
until Thursday next.
IVORSHIP-STREET.

A young man of dejected and miserable appear-
ance applied to Mr. Hammill for some pecuniary as-
sistance under the following circumstances :
The applicant stated that he had the misfortune
many years ago, when a mere boy, to be cast upon
the world without friends or means of subsistence,
and was in consequence led into association with a
gang of depraved characters, at whose instigation he
entered upon a course of robbery, which speedily
resulted in his apprehension, and subsequent trial and
conviction at the Old Bailey, where he was sentenced
to seven years' transportation. He had ever since
deeply regretted his past misconduct, and as soon as
the term fir which he had been sentenced expired, in
Van Diemen's Land, he was kindly permitted by the
captain of a merchant vessel to work his passage
home, with a determination oa his arrival to: use hjs
best efforts to procure some honest employment, by
means of which he might hope to retrieve the charac-
ter he had lost. He reached the Pool on Saturday.
and was allowed to sleep on board the vessel for that
night, but the next morning was told by the Custom-
house officer in charge of the ship that he could not
stop there any longer, and he was therefore
obliged to go ashore, without a farthing
in his possession, or the slightest idea a.
to where he could sleep the next night. He
was now entirely destitute and starving, and as he
had no friends in London but his former associates,
with whom he was resolved never to have any fur-
ther communication, and there was no chance what-
ever, in his present deplorable condition, of getting
employment anywhere, he was induced to lay his
case before the magistrate of this court, from which
he had been originally committed for trial, in the
hope that some trifle would be allowed him to assist
him on his road to Manchester, to which town he in-
tended to go on the tramp, for the purpose of' seeking
out some distant relatives, who he thought still lived
there, and who would probably exert themselves to
introduce him into some kind of occupation by which
he could earn his own livelihood. The applicant pro-
duced his discharge from the colony, drawn up in
due form, and which bore out the statement of his
being the person he had represented himself to be.
Mr. Hammier., after perusing the document, said
that the situation of the unfortunate applicant was
certainly deserving of commiseration, and presented
him with a small sum from the poor-box for his
immediate exigences, for which the poor man ex
pressed much gratitude.
The magistrate announced to the reporters his
receipt of a cheque for five guineas, per Mr. Unwin,
of the Colonial-office, who stated it to be a contribu-
tion from Mr. W. Fauquier, of Bennett-street, Bath, for
! the relief of an aged woman named Jennings, the par-
ticulars of which cruel robbery by her grandson, a
watch finisher, 25 years of age, have lately been
published. The following further subscriptions have
been also received on account of a working gunsmith,
named IVilliam Jones, the whole of whose goods
were seized and disposed of for a debt of 31. 18e,
under an execution from the Palace Court, at the suit
of a Loan Society, under the harsh and oppressive
circumstances recently detailed in this paper :—" W.
W.," ss. ; "J. J.," 10s.; "J. G.," 55.; "C. G.," 53.;
and " S. D. 5.," 10s. ; " A Resident in the Country,"
ss. in postage stamps; and .5/. from "a Solicitor of
the Palace Court," who accompanied his donation
by a letter in which he expressed much sympathy fur
the unfortunate man, and tendered his gratuitous ser
vices to procure him redress, if possible, as he consi-
dered it a case of extreme hardship,and that, if he had
properly represented the facts, there would be little
difficulty, on application to the Judge, in obtaining a
reversal of the judgment, as being contrary to agree-
ment and good faith, and some satisfaction for the loss
he had sustained. It will no doubt be satisfactory to
the numerous benevolent persons who have kindly
come forward with donations for the unfortunate
man's relief; to be informed that the result of the in-
quiries instituted by Holland, the officer, into his
previous position and conduct have been highly satis-
factory, and that two letters have been forwarded to
the-magistrate from two of his former employers,
Messrs. Rigby and Keene, the eminent gun man ufac
turers, whom he had served faithruily for about
thirteen years, altogether bearing high testimony to
his general character as an honest, industrious, and
well' conducted man.
CLERKENWELL.
John Potridge and James Reading, ruffianly-looking
fellows, were placed at the-_bar before Mr. Combe,
charged with the following daring outrage :
It appeared from the evidence of numerous police
constables of the S division, that on Sunday forenoon
about half-past twelve o'clock, a gentleman, in a state
of intoxication, was pursued by the prisoners and
another low-looking fellow under pretence of protect-
ing him. They continued their in enceuvres through
Great College-street, Camden-town, and caused a
great disturbance, much to the annoyance of the in-
habitants, who called upon the police to interfere,
when police-constable 288 S made his appearance and
remonstrated with the prisoners and their companion.
advising them to leave the gentleman, who was help-
less, and not to annoy the inhabitants. The prisoner,
by their conduct caused every large assemblage, when
a reinforcement of the police arrived, took the gentle-
man under their protection, who had been robbed of
his watch, Sac. The prisoners and their companions
evinced the most spiteful feeling towards the officers,
and, tearing up the iron railings in front of the houses
in Great College-street, made a desperate attack upon
them, swearing that they would do for the officers, who,
although they used every effort to defend themselves,
were seriously maltreated. The prisoners' companion
fought desperately until he received a violent blow on
the head from one of the constable's, when he was
carried away from the spot insensible by some of the
mob. The prisoners at the bar fought against the
officers with considerable violence and desperation
until they were overpowered, and after a violent re-
sistance they were locked up in the station-house
until yesterday morning, when, in consequence of the
excitement and alarm created in the neighbourhood,
the court was crowded to excess.
Holding, 288 S, said, he was on duty in Pratt-
street, Camden-town, on Sunday afternoon, when
some inhabitants gave him information that a gang of
ruffians and thieves were persuing a gentleman who
was intoxicated, and evidently attempting to plunder
him. Witness proceeded to Great College street,
where he found the prisoners and another fellow
" bonnetting" the gentleman, pushing him about in
an unfeeling and blackguard manner, and on interfer-
ing for his protection the prisoners threw stones at
him, took off their coats, and fought. The moment an
extra body of policemen arrived on the spot the pri-
soner Potridge gave a signal, when he seized hold of
the iron railings, tore them up with main strength,
and running at witness, exclaimed, " You --, 1.11
do for you," and rushing at him made a blow to
strike him down, but he warded it off, or he must
inevitably have been murdered; he took the railing
from the prisoner, who was apprehended but the
other man who escaped was well known, and is sup-
posed to have been taken to some hospital in conse-
quence of the injuries he had received. The gentle-
man whom they had robbed was so helpless through
liquor that the only information they could elicit
from him was that it was "all right," and that lie was
a barrister residing at Hampstead.
Sergeant Wakefield, 37 S, had made inquiries at.
various hospitals to trace the injured man who had
escaped, but was, unable to find him.

Mr. ComBE inquired of the prisoners what they had
to say to such ruffianly and cowardly conduct ?
They replied that they were going home, when
they met a gentleman who had been drinking a little
who invited them to drink with him, and treated
them at several public houses until he became quite
drunk ; he then requested them to see him home to
Hampstead, which they were doing when the police
interfered with them. They denied the charges
against them.

-Mr. COMBE convicted both prisoners, and sen-
enced them to six weeks' imprisonment each in the
[-louse of Correction with hard labour.

Search is making for the prisoners' companion
and subsequently a charge of felony will be exhi
bited against them.

SUICIDE IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.---Between five
and six o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a man of decent
appearance shot himself with a pistol in Kensington-
gardens. Ho was found shortly afterwards by one of
the garden constables, No. 5, lying i❑ the plantation of
trees on the north-east side of the round pond, still
alive. Mr. Gardiner, surgeon of Paddington, was im-
mediately sent for, and found that the unfortunate man
had shot himself just above the navel, and that the
bowels were protruding. A stretcher was then sent for
to the Kensington station-house, and in the interim both
Mr. Gardiner and the constable asked him the cause of
his desperate act, but he refused to give them answers
on the subject. He was placed on the stretcher, for the
purpose of being conveyed to St. George's Hospital; but
on the way he expired, and the body was then removed
to the dead-house of St. Margaret's, Westminster, in
which parish the suicide had taken place. The deceased
appeared to be about fifty years of age, 5 feet 7 inches
high, dark hair inclining to grey, dressed in an invisible
green coat, much worn, striped trousers, shoes, and drab
gaiters. On him was found a silk handkerchief, a steel
ring, a pair of silver spectacles and case, a tobacco box,
and 2s. id. i❑ money, but nothing tending to lead to his
identity. The body isa,s not owned yesterday.
LOUIS PIIILIPPE IN CIIELTENIIAM.-A rumour has
obtained currency during the last few days that the
ex-King of the French intends paying a visit to Chel-
tenham, with a view of making it a place of per-
manent residence. The foundation or origin of the
rumour has not yet been discovered.— Gloucester

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
ritom: THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
ES.—',llefe is good in evil. If the poPcv of
the Court of St. Petersburgh has raised apprehension
in the Councils of the Porte, or inspired the refugees
of Hungary with dismay, there are men in this
country to whom it has been a perfect godsend. It
has supplied the enemies of Austria and the ad-
mirers of Hungary with fre,h recruits and a fresh
•übject. The declamation about the horrors of the
Huneatim war had become stale, and the statement
of Austrian oppression doubtful, when, fortunately
for the oratory of the speakers and the ears of the
audiences, the Emperor of Russia embarked in a
course repugnant at once to the law and the sentiment
of nations. A new topic was added to the exhausted
machinery of former harangues • and men who were
tired listening to suspicious details of Hungarian
liberty warmed with ewhusiasm as the arrogant
demand of the Czar, the humiliation of the Porte, or
the prospective interference of England were substi-
tuted for the trite fabrications of the platform. Mr.
Cobden has availed himself of the opportunity thus
offered, though not in the happiest way. In fact, he
is involved in a mesh of contradictions, and has only
himself (and the platform s) stein, of which he is a
victim) to thank for it. There never was so strange
A multitude of conflicting claims as those to which he
has lately pledged himself all round. The champion
of free trade, he takes upon himself the task
ef dictating to the merchants of London in a
tone which the Czar would not venture to use at St.
Petersburgh. The champion of peace, he is in-
veigled into flattering the sentiment of those when)
he addresses, and that sentiment is one of unmis-
takable and animated hosti:ity towards the most
powerful sovereign of Europe. With one cause good
enough for his purpose, he takes up another, which
is not only less good, but absolutely bad ; and by his
mode of assault he succeeds in depriving himself of that
support which a more consistent championship would
have secured for him. It is impossible to over-rate
the mischiefs which are produced by the habits of the
platform when we observe their development at such
meetings as that which yeas held yesterday at the City
of London Tavern. First of all a man of some cele-
brity—and that celebrity, too, founded entirely on his
advocacy of free trade—undertakes, of all things in
the world, to convoke a public meeting for the purpose
of deterring mercantile men from lending money as
they think fit ! A more monstrous schetne—notwith-
standing Mr. Cobden's attempt at an excuse—was
never before attempted by any one man, nor tole-
rated by any body of men. It is neither more nor
less than an effort to bring the force of numbers—
physical force, in fact—to bear upon men's private
interests and projects. Disguise it as he may, it
amounts to this—Any man is to be bullied by an
array of numbers or a battery of speeches from exer-
cising the ordinary freedom of trade. If it be not
this, what is it? Mr. Cobden professes to feel a
tender solicitude for the pockets of the poor. Are the
poor money-lenders ? Is it from the drudging clerks
or mechanics of the city that Austrian loans will be
raised ? Mr. Cobden has a story about a poor porter
who starved on 2,000/. in the Spanish Bonds. He
might just as well have cited the story of "Jaek
and the Beanstalk." The object of the meeting was
not to warn the poor, but to deter the capitalists. The
investigation of the resources of Austria was a mere
pretence. Dots Mr. Cobden imagine that people will
not be able to ascertain the capabilities of that em-
pire without his assistance ? Does lie think that the
conditions of the loan will not explain themselves ? It
Mr. Cobden's justification be (.ccepted, then the whole
mercantile body of London is condemned,
For, on his showing, they are all either
dolts or knaves ; they either are wholly
ignorant of the country with which they are invited
to negotiate, or they are playing into each other's
hands for the purpose of duping the unwary and the
poor. We leave it to Mr. Cobden to settle his ex-
.lanation with the class which he has libelled. and
then for his laboured plea of consistency. Where does
he find loans denounced in the abstract without re •
Terence to their occasion ? He will find in all the
authors whom he so ostentatiously quotes many pas-
sages condemnatory of wars, their expense, and the
leans which they necessitate. No one ever questioned
that war was a bad thing ; that, if it were possible, it
would be better to eschew them altogether. All these
:re truisms familiar to men, women, and children.
But it is no less true—or rather it is only another
orrn of expressing the -same truth—that it is better
to close the wounds of war soon than to leave them
gaping open ; that it is better to consolidate and con-
summate a partial triumph than to leave oppor-
tunities and temptations to fresh and desperate
ruptures. The Government of Austria has
neaten the men who took up arms against
it. Were the conflict to begin again, it
would beat them more easily than before. Is it not
better, then—more humane, more merciful—to give
it the means of discharging the more urgent claims to
which the contest has made it liable, than, by denying
this, to expose the vanquished foe to all the varieties of
pillage and all the devices of extortion ? The
Croatian and Sclave soldiers are not very fastidious as
rn the means by which they maintain themselves.
Pile spirit which animated the roving volunteer of
Wallenstein's camp may still be found in the motley
corps which compose an Austrian army ; and there
are soldiers in it not a few, to whom—if their Govern-
went had no money—half-a year's run over Magyar
farms and homes would be a pleasant Indemnity for
the loss cf regular pay. S 3 much for the humanity
Is well as the political economy of the question. The
matter is as clear as daylight. Mr. Cobden neither
wishes to enlighten the ignorant, nor wart the poor,
nor save Hungary • but simply to spite Austria, by be-
ginning a system of which the end and scope would he
to subject every rich man's fortune and every banker's
transaction to the caprice of mobs who have no money
to lend and no credit to boast of. And what will be
the upshot of his success ? Why, that Austria will
he devoted, hand, heart, and soul to Russia. The
influence which the latter exercises over the former
Power will become dominion. The great Imperial
barrier of Eastern Europe will subside into part and
parcel of the great Cossack empire. One-half of
Europe will become Cossack in sympathies and in-
terests. Hungary, so far from being near her salva-
tion, will be irretrievably crushed, despite Mr. Cob-
den's private and particular knowledge respecting the
finances of an Emperor, whose whole people would rush
to battle for him if he called them. It is a pity Mr.
Cobden and Lord Dudley Stuart should mar a good
cause. Russia has acted wrongly and arrogantly—
not in assisting an allied Government, for that is
sanctioned by the law of nations—but in dictating
terms to an inferior which she would not have
proposed to an equal power. Her design is detected.
She aspires to give laws from the seat of the
Byzantine Emperors, and to restore to the Mosque
of St. Sophia its ancient worship. Happily
both the object which she has at heart, and the pre-
text by which she masks it, are odious and offensive
to the English people. Our countrymen will neither
connive at a double breach of hospitality and law, nor
will they tamely see the Indian route of Alexander
the Great opened to the Russian Caesar. Our sym-
pathies and our interests go together. We will not
suffer even refugees whom we despise to be wrenched
from the protecting arms of a feeble ally. We will
not peril the glory and the fortunes of England by
opening the path from Constantinople to Candahar to
a new and barbarous ambition. Nor will we, as a
people, content ourselves with words. Notwith-
standing the unpatriotic parsimony which would have
robbed us of our armies and our ships, we still have
a fleet which could blockade the whole Russian,
east, and we have allies that will not leave us
to fight the battle of the Sultan single-handed,
Mr. Cobden may denounce loans as long as he
likes. Such denunciations go for nothing. The
people of England know that the moral sin of lend-
ing money to an ally is not greater than that of sel-
ling uniforms and weapons to a foe—a practice not
rebuked by greater economists than Mr. Cobden.
They know, too, how to measure the wisdom or the
folly of taking shares in such a loan without asking
Mr. Cobden's advice; and they repudiate the med
dling policy which, under the mask of a high
morality, interferes with the legal exercise of' per-
sonal liberty, and contravenes the first principles of
common justice. They know, too, how to prize
the sympathy which contents itself with words, but
shrinks from action ; which pities the brave, but will
not assist them; and, therefore, the only part of Mr.
Cobden's address which will elicit universal assent is
that in which he virtually recants all the favourite
doctrines of the. Peace Congress, and calls upon that
noble service which he has so often vilified and
aspersed to resist the aggressions of a powerful
ambition, and maintain by its traditionary valour
the glory of England and the independence of her
threatened ally.
CHRONICLE.—Tuesday, the 11th of September,
was a memorable day for London ; for then the tide
of death, which had risen till the black funereal
streams poured from every court and alley, and
flooded every graveyard in the metropolis, first began
to ebb. The number of daily victims, which on th
10th of that month had reached 432, sank on the I 1 th
to 316, and the glad tidings went forth that the
deadly pestilence was stayed. Those who before had
sat trembling in their homes, lest their hearths should
be the next to be desolated, felt as if they had been
suddenly reprieved, and ate their food no longer in
fear. And yet the well housed and well-fed knew
little of the real terrors of the disease. In their well
drained and well-ventilated mansions they saw none
of the miseries which the pestilence brought or left
behind it; and it was not until they heard that it
had carried off one of the Judges of the land—
that an eminent surgeon had been stricken down
by it—or that some remote acquaintance of their
own had fallen a prey to it, that they began
to feel how fearful an affliction had come upon the
country. Even when the infection did force its way
into the snug, dry, and warm home, death was robbed
of halt its horrors. There the life taken involved not

the living of a whole family—to slay one was not to
starve the rest. The recent affl:ction has been ren-
dered doubly severe by the fact, that it has visited
those chiefly who could the least ;afford to meet it.
The pestilence has ravaged, not our parks, squares,
and terraces, but the narrow courts and pent-up
alleys of the metropolis. Had not the official reports
assured us'of this fact, the poverty-stricken character
of the funerals, which for the last three months have
crowded and saddened our streets, would have told
us that those whoin it smote were among the poorest
of the poor ; for the motley garbof the mourners, with
the hired black cloaks thrown over their coloured
clothes, showed that the friends of the wretched vic-
tims were generally too needy even to buy mourning.
Who, then, shall be able to sum up the fearful
amount of misery involved in the 13,000 deaths that
have occurred in London, or the 20,000 in the
country, within the last quarter of a year ? As yet,
we have na authentic returns telling us how many,
in a given number of cases, have fallen' am )ng the
working classes ; but assuredly the proportion must
have been so large, that we may safely say the epi-
demic has made almost as many paupers as it has
made widows and orphans. If it has added upwards of
thirts-three-thousand to our graveyards, it must have
consigned ',early double that t umber to our work-
houses. Theory after theory has been put forward
to explain the cause of this the most fearful of all
epidemics, whose only symptom, in its most aggra-
vated form, it has been truly said is—death. Some
have told us that cholera is due to the presence of a
zymotic poison in the atmosphere—others. have attri-
buted it to the prevalence of microscopic insects,
similar to those which produce blight and smut in the
vegetable kingdom. By the telluric theorists we are
assured that it arises from some peculiar poisonous
emanation from the earth, while chemical philoso
pliers affirm that it proceeds from a want of electri-
city in the atmosphere. A few ascribe it to a defi-
ciency in the normal amount of ozone, while the latest
discoveries would lead us to believe that its proximete
cause lies in the germination of the sporules of solve
cryptogamous plant within the intestines. Be tl e
proximate cause of the disease, however, what
it may, it is an indisputable fact that the primary
cause of the pestilence is to he found in the filth zinc
squalor of the poor. However much some philoso-
phers may differ as to the peculiar nature of the
influence directly producing the infection, at least all
are agreed that, in the wretched, damp, and foetid
homes of the lower orders, it is both developed and
propagated. It is probable that the epidemic pro•
ceeds from the prevalence of certain annular bodies
or organisms in the atmosphere ; but it is positively
certain that the nidus of the disease is a deficiency of
proper food and shelter, a want of pure air and of
pure water. The cholera may be eccentric in its
course : it may ravage only one bank of a river;
and, as in the instance mentioned by Colonel Rowles,
attack only one side of a ship. It may in its pro-
gress leave whole countries almost unscathed—as in
the case of Hanover, Carinthia, and the Tyrol. Its
spread at one time may be promoted by the heat of a
tropical summer, and at another by the icy rigours
of a Russian winter. Now it may rage, as at
Delhi, during the rainy season, and now during
the dry hot months, as at Bandelcund It may
spare isolated mountains in one country, and in
another, as at Landour, attack places 8,000 feet
above the sea. Here it may travel rapidly against
the wind, and there spread as fast during a calm. In
one capital, thunderstorms may accompany its out-
break, as at St. Petersburgh—in another they may
attend its departure, as at Paris. Sometimes it may
be ushered in by earthquakes, as at Madras—some-
times by inundations, as at Dacca. Still, notwith-
standing all its eccentricities and irregularities—
though it has raged in almost every variety of cli-
mate, and under every variety of atmospheric in-
fluence, and during every month of the year, from
January to December—in one circumstance it has
been unerring and invariable. Wheresoever want
and filth have prevailed, there it has first manifested
itself—.wheresoever the people have been badly
housed and badly fed, there it has ravaged with a
tenfold virulence. The hard. worked and the poorly
paid have been its certain victims. Many, looking to
the final rather than to the proximate remote
cause of the disease, have told'us that the pestilence
from which we are now escaping has been
sent among us as a chasthement for our
sins. But be our other national offences
whatsoever they may, assuredly the one great point
in which we, as a people, have. trasisgressed, and
for which we have lately suffered so severely, has
been our gross and wanton neglect of the comfort:,
of the poor. We have shut our eyes to the abomina-
tion and filth in which they live, and avoided, rather
than sought to parity, the tcetid atmosphere of their
dwellings. The Designer of the Universe has or-
dained that not only our own health, but the health
of those about us, should depend upon the cleanliness
of our bodies and our homes—that the first condition
of our lives should he the purity of the air which we
imbibe and of the water which we, drink. The ema-
nations from our persons have been made most offen•
sive to our senses and imagination, as if to induce us
to remove them from the immediate vicinity of our
houses,- while, in order to force us to de this, they
have been further made to act as positive poisons to
our systems. So wonderfully and beneficently, too, has
this law been arranged, that those who, despite
these injunctions, still continue to live amidst the
pollution of their own bodies, are the first to fall
victims to the poisonous siduviune, and the disease,
thus engendered, spreads from house to house, and so
makes it the common interest of all to see that none
infringe this the first law of our physical nature. And
yes we, the richest nation on the face of' the earth,
have allowed our fellow creatures to " fust" in styes,
reeking with filth, such as farmers, now-a-days,
know that swine would pine and dwindle in. We
have allowed them, unheeded, to quench their thirst
and cook their food with water poisoned with their own
excretions. We have permitted them, uncared for, to
be the prey of each petty capitalist who might think
fit to wring a paltry independence out of their cruel
necessities, and to give them roofless, floorless
tenements, without drains, without water, without
privies, and that for the self same sum which--it has
been proved—would furnish them with well-built,
well-aired, well warmed, and well-drained dwellings.
May it not have been wisely ordained that want and
filth should be made a source of pestilence and death,
lest we, lapping ourselves in the greedy and callous
selfishness of our natures, should forget or spurn the
miseries of our less fortunate brethren, and leave
them to pine and rot unnoticed and uncared for ? As
there is no evil without its concomitant good, so do
we devoutly believe that the late dreadful pestilence,
though it has snatched 30,000 of our fellow-creatures
from us, has nevertheless be-en attended with one

great benefit. It hag made us alive to our duty to
our needy neighbours—speaking to us through the
selfi-hness of our fears, if not through the nobler
channel of our sympathies.
