lONDON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1847.

The Metropolitan Police force was established for
the purpose of affording full and adequate protec-
tion to the persons and property of all within
their districts. In order the more fully to enable
them to discharge the arduous duties incidental to
their position they are armed with extraordinary
powers, and their persons guarded with additional
protection against any injury. They are permitted
to take into custody any person whom they find in
any manner disturbing the public peace, and to de-
tain him until the case shall be adjudicated on, while
the summary jurisdiction of the magistrates is ex
tended for their especial benefit, and every justice is
authori!ed to commit to prison, to be kept to hard
labour for a period of two months, any person
whom he may believe to have assaulted a
police-officer in the execution of his duty, without
giving the option of paying a pecuniary fine, or
without referring the facts to the consideration of a
jury, and that although the charge is indignantly
denied by the accused party, and it is positively
asserted that the complainant was the real aggressor.
The magistrates are not slow to act upon this
authority, and scarcely a day passes that we do not
hear of some persons being committed to hard labour
for attacks on the police. This is, perhaps, right
-whenever it may appear clearly and beyond any
controversy that a wanton and unprovoked attack was
made. But we confess that we entertain very consi-
derable doubts as to the correctness and accuracy of
many of the charges brought before the magistrates
for their decision. Undue weight is generally
given to every statement made by policemen, and
the most positive denial, the most connected and
straightforward accounts of the transaction are given
no credence to, unless supported by the most incon-
trovertible testimony of other and more disinterested
witnesses. The general rule appears to be, in case
of doubt, to decide in favour of the police, and to
punish the accused, thus reversing the benign prin-
cipletis of the British law.
The favoured parties are not slow to perceive the
great partiality evinced on their behalf, and we con-
stantly find them using the truncheons
them for a very different entrusted to
Purposaewin a most
brutal
and reckless manner. They are
the
of the. magis-
terial bias, and they also depend on
or perhaps the hope of obtaining alritkethreeeiretsuprnass,
rzt de corps,
inducing..
iteiodns
their brother policemen to suppo
n
the event of their being controverted or denied. It
f
is unnecessary to go back to the well-known C2;4
the Dagenham murder, where the entire body atethoe
station were ready, at the suggestion of their ser-
geant,
to make utterly false and unfounded state-
ments at the investigation that look place. Many
wore recent cases exhibit the same spirit, and the
general anxiety to justify any member of the force
who-e conduct may be made the subject of inquiry.
They also depend, under the most unfavourable
circumstancPF, on the leniency of the presiding ma-
gistrate, and that he will leave their punishment to
the Conunissymers, in place of dealing with the case

before him on its own merits, and without any re-

i.fereace to other possible consequences. If a
hard-working, industrious young man is brought
charged with having, in a moment of in-
--
toxf4tion, committed some petty assault or
trifiit?T breach of the law, the magistrate
ie incdkt• . virtuously indignant, and unhesitatingly
'ends 21invta-giCialouse of Correction, although, per-
haPkbe Cris% be the sole support of a widowed
mother ai4 Aelpiass •
sisters. A mitigation of the

penalty may be implored. The prisoner will lose
his situation, his innocent family will be involved in
ruin, and have to submit to the greatest privations,
unless a fine, which must press heavily on all their
comforts, is substituted for the imprisonment. The
magistrate is inexorable. The party should have
reflected before he committed a breach of the peace,
and he (the worthy magistrate) cannot take into his
consideration what may be the results of his judg-
ment. But let a policeman commit a violent and
unprovoked assault on a perfectly innoccent
person, which he would not be justified
in doing even if the party had actually
been guilty of an offence, and a nominal
fine is inflicted, because it is probable "that dismissal
from the force will follow the conviction." That we
do not exaggerate we refer our readers to a case that
was heard at the Clerkenwell Police-court on Satur-
day last, and a report of which was inserted in The
Sun of Monday evening. There a young man named
LUCAT, walking along the street, was collared by one
policeman ; on asking what he had done to merit such
treatment, another rushed over and beat him most
unmercifully over his back and shoulders with his
truncheon, saying, at the same time, "Take that,
you -." It should be borne in mind, that at this
time LUCAY was in actual custody ; he was making
no resistance, nor attempting to rescue himself, and
yet the worthy " conservator of the peace" inflicted a
severe beating for a fancied offence, as if he were not
only the judge, but also the executioner to adminis •
ter corporal punishment. The assault was not
denied, the only defence was, that he (the
policeman) mistook the other for a person who had
been hooting, ringing bells, and knocking at doors;
and, after a severe lecture on the impropriety of his
conduct and the improper use of his truncheon, a fine
of 103. was imposed. Had LIICAY returned the blow,
and not patiently submitted to the chastisement, it
is not unreasonable to suppose that he would have
had the benefit of a month or six weeks sojourn in the
House of Correction.

Yesterday it was again our duty to record another
instance of most outrageous and improper conduct on
the part of a policeman, which was elicited in a case
in which he had appeared as complainant at the
Worship-street Police-court. PATRICK HURLEY,
who appeared to be a hard-working, industrious man,
was charged with having interfered with and
assaulted Constable JESSOP in the execution
of his duty. The usual statement was made
by the complainant of his own great mode-
ration, and the audacious character of the attack, and
his at last being compelled to use his staff in self-
defence. The tables, however, were turned, three
disinterested witnesses were produced to show (and
many more were in attendance for the same purpose,
if required) that the complainant had himself acted
in a most wanton and violent manner, that he came
up while HURLEY'S child, a boy only eight years of
age, was playing with some of his schoolfellows, and
without any apparent provocation, seized him by the
collar, repeatedly slapped him in the face, and kicked
him so violently, that the child was knocked down in
the road. The boy's mother having come from her
own door, and asked what lie meant, was imme-
diately struck by this gallant policeman in the
face ; the father, who interfered for his wife's
protection, was treated in a similar manner, and on
their retreating to their own house, the woman was
again struck with a truncheon on the head, so that
the blood poured out of the wound, and she was
obliged to receive surgical assistance. The prisoner
shut himself up in his house, and actually sent for
another policeman to protect him from the violence
of his infuriated assailant. He was taken in charge,
and locked up for the night. The charge was at
once dismissed. But in place of the valiant police-
man being placed in the dock, and at once punished
severely for his outrageeus conduct, he was let off,
with an intimation that a representation would be
made to the proper authorities, who would no doubt
cause a searching investigation to be instituted.

Another case yesterday took place at Marlborough-
street office, in which two policemen were convicted
of having used great and unnecessary violence to
a respectable man and his wife, whom they assaulted
and most unnecessarily took into custody, dragging
them at night to the station-house, although they
were housekeepers, and well known, who could have
been summoned to appear on a future occasion. In
this latter case, it is but justice to the presiding
magistrate (Mr. HARDWICK) to state, that he
fined the policeman forty shillings, or one
month's imprisonment in the House of Correction.

We trust that the above cases all occurring within
a very few days, may hare their proper effect, and
that they will induce some of our magistrates to pause
before they yield implicit, credence to the uncorrobo-

rated statements of policemen, or exercise the great
power entrusted to them without adequate inquiry.
Unless something is done, and that speedily, to
check the tendency on the part of the police to use
their truncheons on trifling occasions, they will
become a perfect nuisance, and the public will have
to seek protection against the violence of a body who
should act as guardians, but who really are a greater
evil than any of those they were intended to remedy.

Switzerland is stirred to its very entrails by the
revival of a patriotic enthusiasm among its inhabi-
tants. The determination which has been avowed by
the Diet to effect the expatriation of the Jesuits, and
the total dissolution of the Sonderbund, has aroused
spirit of opposition in the Catholic cantons which
will: require the utmost exertions of the Govern-

ment to allay, and which, were it only for certain
geographical reasons, it will find impossible to extin-
guish. Switzerland, as we have said, is stirred to its
very entrails with this enthusiasm in favour of its
old institutions and its ancient religion. Since the
days when CATIIELINEAU unfurled the standard of
the fleur-de-luce in the bocage of La Vendee, and
HENRI DE LAILOCHEJACQUELIN unsheathed his sword

in the cause of the Bourbon dynasty, there has been
no such manife.tation of political and religious
frenzy as that which is now agitating the moun-
taineers of the Helvetic Confederation. In Schweitz
the people have assembled together to pronounce, in
the face of Heaven, their resolution to uphold the
Sonderbund. Underwalden is animated with simi-
lar sentiments. Zug is prepared to combat with
the forces of the Diet, and the Landsghmeinde of
Uri protests against the proceedings of the Govern.
ment. Valais, and Friburg, and Lucerne, are sustained
by a kindred determination. Whether it arises from
a blind admiration of antiquity, or from an ignorant
spirit of fanaticism, or from a superstitious terror at
the consequences which may follow from a submis-
sion to the system of expulsion and abolition enjoined
by the Government—it is undeniable that the men of
the Catholic cantons are resolute in their determina-
tion to befriend the disciples of IGNATIUS, and to
preserve the Sonderbund from extinction.

Those who are familiar with the national character
of the Swiss will readily comprehend this extra-
ordinary affection for whatever political and religious
institutions are time-worn and time-honoured. While
civilisation has purified all other countries as with a
species of moral alchemy—changing the dross
of feudality and ignorance into the gold of modera-
tion and enlightenment—Switzerland has continued
unchanged and unaffected. Having once asserted and
achieved its independence, it has remained isolated in
its geographical asperity, and has retained even to the
middle of the nineteenth century all its primitive pe-
culiarities. The freemen of the small cantons have
been secluded among their mountains, while the
adjacent states have yielded to incursions both moral
and physical, and the result of this seclusion has been
the retention of all their bygone partialities and ob-
solete prejudices. They are as credulous in their
erroneous opinions as the one-eyed savants of the
Flying Island. They are as monotonous in their
schemes of internal legislation as the citizens of
Marino. But with the errors of their progenitors
they have preserved their bravery, their patriotism,
and their exquisite devotion for liberty The moun-
taineers of Switzerland are as stalwart
in proportions,in
as vigorous in constitution, and as undaunted
valour, as they were in the days of GESLER and
his
immortal antagonist. That the national prowessof
the Helvetic Confederation has in no manner de gene_
rated has been testified on a thousand battle-fields,
under the most perilous circumstances. The Swiss
soldier has so distinguished himself in foreign armies as
to acquire the admiration of the magnanimous.
Different from all other mercenaries, the Swiss have
ever evinced the most immutable devotedness for the
sovereign or the principality among whose legionaries
they have been enrolled. They have identified them-

selves with' whatever cause they have espoused.
Profits, emoluments, and promotions, safety, luxury,
and idleness, have never seduced them from the side
of a fallen master or from the ranks of a doomed and
tottering) government. They have transferred their
loyalty with their persons, and their obedience with
their halberts.

Such are the indisputable characteristics of the
hireling adventurers of the cantons, even when fight-
ing at the behest of a paymaster. And it is against
a race of this unyielding disposition that the forces of
the Diet will have to march, and that, too, when
leagued together in their natural strongholds.
Physical force seems unfortunately to have found
its advocates in the Radical members of the Govern-
ment, and this fact would certainly warrant Young
Ireland in fraternizing with Young Switzerland. If
the statement recently made to the Vorort be correct,
namely, that the Diet can calculate with confidence
upon 22,000 armed men of the elite, besides 10,000
as a reserve, and 5,000 volunteers, making in all an
army 37,000 strong, there will, unquestionably be a
formidable mass capable of being brought into opera-
tion against the supporters of the Jesuits and the
Sonderbund. Would this, however, 'be sufficient to
justify an onslaught ? Would it, in fact, be conso-
nant with those principles of liberality which the
Radicals of Switzerland aspire to render triumphant,
to enforce their views with sabre and musket-ball ?
Have not the peaceful achievements of DANIEL
O'CoNNELL and RICHARD COBDEN proclaimed the
great truth, that abuses may be destroyed otherwise
than by the butcheries of the military ? Are the
Helvetic pastures so sterile, that the ground must be
fattened with the blood of its citizens ? Heaven
forfend that the land which has for centuries been
the abode of heroes and patriots should become a
battle-field for physical-force Reformers and the ad-
vocates of a stolid and pertinacious fanaticism !

Should such, unhappily, prove the result of the pre-
sent preparations, it will constitute the most mournful
chapter in the history of Switzerland.

It is said that the Roman Government will receive
from the French authorities at Toulon 14,000 mus-
kets.

A letter from Leghorn, of the 6th, states that per-
fect tranquillity reigns in Tuscany, but that a pro-
found sensation has been caused by the resignation of
the Marquis DE LEJATIJO, the Governor of Leghorn,
which is said to have been the result of some re-
proaches addressed to him by the Grand Duke, for
his intention of organizing two battalions of civic
guard, who should have the elect Ton of their officers.
On the other hand, however, the appointment to the
Ministry of two liberal men—RIDOLFI and SERRlS-
TORl—inspires great confidence.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th publishes the
(011 owing proclamation :

" As the verbal recommendations of competent
authorities have not succeeded in certain parts of the
kingdom in preventing the assembling of numerous
crowds of the people in manifest violation of the laws
in force ; and as it is necessary that these assemblages
should cease and no longer disturb the public peace,
and put a stop to business and trade, it is by these
presents made known to all, that such assemblages are
expressly forbidden, even when the intentions giving
rise to them are not in themselves blameable.

" Lieutenant-General LAZARI."

A letter from Naples, of the 80th ult., states that
M. PIETRACATELLA, the President of the Neapolitan
Ministry, has resigned, in consequence of his being
unable to obtain the assent of the KING to his pro-
jects of reform. The capital was tranquil, but the
retirement of M. PIETRACATELLA had produced, it is
said, much gloom. It is said, however, that the KING
has determined to grant an amnesty, and to make
certain concessions to his subjects.

Madrid journals of the sth and 6th have been
received.

The Gageta of the sth contains a decree charging
General CORDOVA provisionally with the Ministry of
Marine, and also the following :

" MINISTRY OF THE HOME DEPARTMENT.

ROYAL

DECREE.
" Conformably with the report of my Council of
Ministers, I hereby decree as follows:
" Art. 1. The Legislature of .1846 is declared
closed.

" Art. 2. The Cortes of the kingdom are convoked
Cor the 15th November of the present year, by which
period the Senators and Deputies shall be assembled
in the capital of the monarchy.
" Given at the Palace, the sth of October, 1847.
" Is:signed by the royal hand.
" Countersigned, the Minister of the Home De-
part tnent, "LUIS JOSE SARTORIUS."

The Gaceta of the 6th contains the following
decree, suspending the execution of ESCOSURA'S plan
of civil government :

" ROYAL DECREE.
" In attention to the reasons which the Minister of
the Home Department has exposed to me, I hereby
resolve that the administrative reform, comprehended
in my royal decress of the 20th September last, and
in the other dispositions for carrying it into effect,
be suspended until the Cortes can occupy themselves
si, ith so grave a subject, the dispositions which ruled
previously remaining in force. _

" Given at the Palace, the sth of October, 1847.

"Is signed by the royal hand.
" The Minister of the Home Department,
"LUIS JOSE SARTORIUS."

The Espectador describes the new Ministry as
"Narvaez multiplied by Seven ;" and then continues
thus :
" What will a Ministry be over, which dominates
that fatal personage whose name was first given to
fame by the groans of weak and inoffensive women and
innocent children, and barbarously immolated to his
brutal instincts of blood, in the unfortunate villages of
La Mancha ! That man whose insolent lips denounced
the noble and loyal population of Madrid as vile and
traitorous, his repugnant impudence threatening them
with thunders of persecution and vengeance ! That
man who presided over the period of suffering which
commenced in 1843, and filled the neighbouring
nations with illustrious exiles, and the prisons and
dungeons with the victims of his rage, and sent the
g•kilows in triumph through every Spanish town of
any importance," &c., &c. It concludes thus :—" No,
the country has no doubts ; it sees its moderate hopes
mocked at, the most solemn and public promises
broken, the most sacred oaths violated, and all the
work of perfidious intrigue and of the blackest
treachery. Let us read the reverse of the programme
of the 2d September, and we shall learn the, pro-
gramme of the new Narvaez-Cordova Ministry.'
Speaking of the fall of the last Ministry, it says—
" Alas! all this has an explanation fatal for the
country, for the institutions, for the throne ; fatal,
also, for the royal sister of the Duchess of Mont-
pensier ! On the ruins of that ephemeral power has
risen again the sinister star of Ardoz, which shone
for. three years in our horizon through vapours of
blood from the butcheries of Alicant, Carthagena, and
Logrono ; the sombre aspect of the dictator, so sweetly
caressed by France, has raised itselfagain. We tremble
for the fate of the institutions, for the fate of the
country, for the fate of the Queen Isabella, surrounded
again by the friends of Louis Philippe."
It is said that NARVAEZ is by no means secure in
his new position, and that it is not at all improbable
that a Progressista Ministry may be appointed, with
Alum as President of the Council. It was with the
utmost reluctance that the QUEEN was brought to
consent to the appointment of NAME&
The Eco del Comercio says that conferences
took place between Ros DE OLANo, General SER..
RANO, and General NARVAEZ, and that, at the.con-
elusion of them, they all three had an interview with
the QUEEN, in the course of which she signed the
decrees. The Eco adds, that she did so with great
repugnance, and wept bitterly; and it asserts that
one of the arguments used to induce her to do so was
a statement to the effect that a vast conspiracy against
her had been discovered in the Progressista party.
The QUEEN, it is said, is now convinced of the false-
hood of those calumnies against the Progressistas by
which she was induced to consent to the appointment
of IsTARvAEz, and only awaits a favourable oppor-
tunity to dismiss him.

Senor OLOZAGA arrived in Madrid on the 6th•
Lord CANNING has also arrived in the Spanish capital.
It is a somewhat curious coincidence, that the day
after the accession of NARVAEZ to power, an estate
in Estremadura, formerly the property of Don CAR-
Los, was sold by auction, and purchased by Senor
GAvntrs, the agent of Queen CHRISTINA, without
competition. Strange inferences have been drawn
from this fact.

The Clamor Publico and the Eco del Coraercio
assert that General NARVAEZ had sent off a Cabinet
courier to Queen CHRISTINA with dispatches, stating
that she might return to Spain whenever she pleased.
The same journal states that ARRAZOLA, the new
Minister of Justice, had already some intention
of resigning, on account of his having been coldly

received by the QUEEN. It was said that the
nGtorious General BRETON had actually been
nominated Captain - General of Catalonia, and
General RONCALI, Count DE ALCOY, of Madrid.
The QUEEN has abolished the cffiee of private secre-
tary to her MAJESTY, vacant by the appointment of
VENTURA DE LA VEGA to the under-secretaryship
of foreign affairs.
Among the persons who visited General NARVAEZ
immediately after his appointment was the Duke DE
GLUCRSBERG.

NARVABZ was to receive the members of the
Corps Diplomatique on the 7th.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 6.—The Three per Cents.
were done on the sth at 271 27, at fifty days; The
Five per Cents. at 171; the Debt without Interest,
at 51 for paper. On the 6th the Three per Cents.
had declined to 261, for the 30th instant, and the Five
per Cents. to 17k for paper.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Moniteur announces the death of the Duke DE
Guise, the infant son of the Duke and Duchess
D'ATJMALE.
The Journal des Dads, even while it repudiates
the idea that the accession of NARVAEZ to power in
Spain was at all brought about by French intrigue,
or is even conducive to French interests, calls the
Opposition journals to account for " attempting to
lessen the success " by describing the change " not as
a great political question, but as a miserable question
of intrigue." Speaking of the manner in which this
change is viewed by the Opposition journals, it says—
"As much as it was desired to make the danger
of yesterday appear greater, is it desired to lessen
the success of to-day ; and if one must believe all
that is said and all that is invented as to the causes
of the last change of Ministry in Spain, what was
lately a great political question is now only a mise-
rable question of intrigue. We cannot allow the
character of an event which is explained by much
more serious reasons to be thus misrepresented. We
have no need to justify the policy of the French
is not in question. It is
interest,
it is the national interest
whichaotthen
has
Government,r
je u se
thf for that
triumphed
at Madrid. In bringing
back to power the party best adapted to assure
her repose, her likerties, and her independence, Spain
has promoted not the interest of France, but her own,
and that is only what the French Government can
desire the most. But what we cannot admit is, that
a question of national policy shall be reduced to the
proportions of a Court intrigue. The truth is that in
the struggle engaged at Madrid there was, in pre-
sence, not such or such personal influence, but two
systems very distinct, two policies essentially dif-
ferent. There was, on the one hand, a Ministry quite
ready to drag Spain into a career of adventure of
which it was impossible to foresee the end. The
Ministry, from its debiit, found itself in direct opposi-
tion with the Legislature, in which it was certain
only to encounter a hostile majority. Its first act
would have been to dissolve this Legislature, to com-
pose and convoke another, and to submit projects to
these Chambers of its hoice which would have
changed the fundamental laws of the kingdom. We
have already stated all that these men proposed to
themselves, all that they avowed, all that they would
have endeavoured to accomplish by all possible means;
and they prefaced the execution of their projects by the
recal of the greatest personal enemies of the Crown.
There were, on the other hand, men and a party devoted
to the person of the Queen, to the constitution, to order,
to existing laws, who already possessed the confidence
of the Legislature, and the support of a constitutional
majority, and who had no need, in order to conduct
the affairs of the country, to throw themselves into a
path of hazard and of adventurers. Between these
two parties, between these gamesters, ready to
gamble the repose of the kingdom and the security
of the throne, and those who had always shown them-
selves the most zealous defenders of the Crown and
of national independence, the choice was perfectly
natural, and there was no need to explain it by other
reasons. The people and the Queen of Spain have
refused to enter in the revolutionary path in which
it was desired to engage them, and have not con-
sented to continue any longer this dangerous game.
Such is the veritable explanation of the return of the
Moderado party to power. The change which has
just been accomplished has therefore graver and more
profound causes than. those ascribed to it by the
scribblers of letters. We are not called on, for our
part, to occupy ourselves with the part which is said
to have been performed by such or such personages.
We willingly consent to pass for being badly in-
formed,' and there are certain limits within which
we abandon all desire of competition. We now con-
fine ourselves to remarking that there is little gene-
rosity on the part of certain people in accusing us of
too much modesty; for it is a relro.tch which we
cannot make against them. On this point the game
is not equal, and we are ready to confess our pro-
found inferiority."
The Journal des Debats is silent on the subject of
the loan, which, however, is commented on in all the
other journals. They are unanimous in their con•
demnation of the bungling financial policy of the
Government. The Presse says-.

" There is no doubt that the loan will be made
under bad conditions for the Treasury, if the probable
result be compared to that which was effected, some
time ago, by M. Lacave Laplagne. If this be the
case, it will be because the Ministry has so willed it.
Condemned by the situation of our finances not to
delay this operation beyond a certain term, which
everybody knew, it has allowed itself to be driven to
if with pleasure, de-
prived itself of the opportunity of choosing the
the last extremity, and has, as
favourable moment and prices. It has waited until
stock has fallen extremely low before taking a deci-
sion. It has not foreseen what the men the least
versed in affairs perfectly foresaw and loudly an-
nounced—the consequences of the English crisis !
What this long want of foresight will cost the State
may easily be calculated on the day on which the ad-
judication of the loan will be completed."
The National regards the loan as a consequence of
the pressure of the money power on the Minister, or
rather as a bribe offered by the Minister for the sup-
port of the money power. It says:—
" The Moniteur leaves us no more doubt on the sub-
ject of the loan. A royal ordinance informs us that
on the 10th of November there will be emitted a
sum of three per cent. rentes sufficient to produce a
capital of 250,000,000 f. These rentes will be in-
scribed to bear interest from the 22d December,
1847 ; the payments will be effected from 22d No-
vember, 1847, to 7th November, 1849. What we
feared is then accomplished. The Minister of Fi-
nance himself desired to defer this emission, but a
great financial influence, in a hurry to realise large
profits, has triumphed. That was necessarily the
case, for nothing can resist the aristocracy of
money, especially when the fault has been committed
by increasing its power tenfold by daily c micessions,
by railways, by loans, &C. At present, in order to
realise enormous gain, it obliges the Ministry to emit
a loan at the most inopportune moment. To-morrow,
to present a national war, which would trouble its
sweet repose, or disquiet it as to the preservation of
its accumulated riches, it will refuse its co-operation
at the decisive moment, and when time will be
wanting to create other resources. What a shame
for a Government thus to seek support from a power
so fatal, without elevation, without dignity, without
patriotism, always ready to squeeze out the wealth
of a country which it abandons when it becomes ex-
hausted. When shall we see at the head of affairs
men who are really desirous of the future welfare of
France, and of its interests ? In the meanwhile the
following is what falls to the lot of the tax-payers, in
the loan to which we refer is contracted at a mo-
ment in which a financial crisis which cannot last
renders the emission of it most onerous, and on such
terms that it is evident that it takes place without
urgency, and in a manner to procure enormous pro-
fits to the person who obtains the adjudication. In
fact, the Three per Cents. being to-day, for the inte-
rest of 22d June ............. 75f. 25c.
and the average of the 25 payments
being 12 months, or at 4 per cent... 3f.
from which must be deducted half a
year's rente, for the interest, which
will run from 22d December, 1847. 1 50 1 50

Total .......... 76f. 75c.
it may be supposed that the adjudication will take
place at the price of from 77f. to 77f. 50c. Now, the
person taking the adjudication with the skill
.gene-
rally possessed by those who carry on this sort of
operations, will have no need to wait two years for
an advance in the public funds to realise his profits;
he will discount it in advance by selling his loan very
dear in detail to a public both numerous and desirous
to speculate on an important sum of renles by dis-
bursing little money at the commencement. So that
by dividing in two the difference of 10f. which exists
between the price of the Three per Cents. of to-day,
and that which it had attained fifteen months ago,
speculation will give to the person obtaining the
adjudication an immediate profit of more than
16,000,000 f., and, besides, an equal part of the profits,
but only in the future. Poor France I"

The Constitutionnel attributes the necessity for a
loan entirely to the fault of the Government, which
has designedly, and by a corrupt calculation, ordered
more public works than the country can execute, and
demanded in every shape larger funds than the
country has the means of supplying. " The loan,"
says the Constitutionnel, " may have a very favour-
able effect upon Change, it can have none on the
general state of the finances; it will not afford any

immediate serious resources to our Treasury, since a
sum of 25,000,000 f. only will be paid up in the
course of the last two months of the present year,
and two years niust elapse before the portion of the
loan authorised by the law which it has been thought
fit to issue will be paid up. It is very probable that
the circumstances of the present crisis, and the un-
certainty of the future, will render the terms to be
proposed by the contractors less advantageous than
they would have been two years ago, or than they
might be six months hence. The State will probably
lose by this transaction a sum of 30,000,000 f. This

will be a new addition to the faults without
number committed by our Government in seven
years. We are, as to all political and administrative
questions, at the epoch of settlements, and upon all
we have a balance against us—in our budget, our
credit, our influence, and our gOod name. Elsewhere
there are crises in commerce and in the manufacto-
ries. England, in particular, is undergoing severe
trials. But there is this difference between the two
countries—on the other side of the Channel the faults
have been committed not by the Government, which
wisely administered public affairs, but by the mer-
chants themselves and the private traders, who are
at this moment paying dearly for their excessive and
hazardous speculations. In France, on the contrary,
neither the merchants nor the manufacturers have
committed faults, and those which we have so cruelly
to expiate have all been committed by the Govern-
ment. It is the Government which, designedly and
by a corrupt calculation, has ordered more extensive
public works than the country can execute, and de-
manded in every shape larger funds than France has
disposable means of supplying. Improvidence, dis-
order, waste, and a detestable system of administra-
tion, form the elements of its conduct, and of which
we are daily feeling the effects. The terms upon
which, no doubt, the necessary loan will be sub-
scribed for will be one of the consequences of its
policy. Were we only to cast up the money the
present Ministry has cost us, the amount, without
bringing into the reckoning the other effects of its
existence, would be sufficient to condemn the present
Ministry."
It would be a curious question to calculate not
only what the present Ministry, but what the present
dynasty has cost France, by comparing the budgets
for the 17 years preceding 1830 with those for the
17 years last past.

REGISTRATIONS-(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.

(Before T. Y. 11PCHRISTIE; Esq.)
'Joseph Hart, bootmaker, residing in Field-lane,
was objected to on the ground that he did not possess
proper qualifications.
It appeared that Hart paid ss. a-week for a shop
and back parlour. He only paid 2s. Gd. a week for
the shop.
Mr. Brown contended that, as the claimant was
described on the list as occupying a shop only, for
which he paid 2s. Gd. rent, his name could not be
retained on the list.
Mr. S. Smith contended that the parlour was at-
tached to the shop, and that both together formed
but one premises, and held it to be a proper de-
scription.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that he did not
think he could make the addition without allowing
the nature of the qualification.
Mr. Brown held that it would be equally as rea-
sonable to say, that a merchant who made a claim,
with respect to a counting-house, and whose qualifi-
cation was described " a counting-house," should be
allowed to ask the Court to add the word " and
house," which he might occupy elsewhere.
Mr. S. Smith thought the cases were widely different.
Mr. Hart was recalled, and in answer to a question
put by Mr. Smith, said that he only slept and eat his
meals in the back parlour. That he did not carry
on his business there ; he kept no boots or leather
there, though it was very possible that a stray bit of
leather might occasionally find its way into the back
parlour.—(Laughter.)
The REVISING BARRISTER thought that the name
must be struck off.—Name struck off.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

Henry Gunns, a respectable looking youth, aged
thirteen years, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing six brooches and various
other articles of jewellery, the property of Francis
Thompson.
The prisoner urged in mitigation that his mother
was in the habit of sending him to pawnbroker's
shops, and at one of those he met a woman, named
Brown, who persuaded him to enter the shop of the
prosecutor, and steal whatever he could. Ile did so,
and after getting the above articles from a drawer he
met her outside the door, when she took the whole.
of them from him, and never gave him a penny
of the proceeds.
The prisoner's father, who described himself as a
pianoforte-maker, said his wife was a confirmed
drunkard, and he attributed his son's present dis-
graceful position to the fact of her sending him to
pawn and sell whatever article she could dispose of
tor the purpose of procuring drink.
The ASSISTANT•JUDGE said it was a truly painful
thing to see a boy of the prisoner's age and appear-
ance driven into crime and temptation by his mother's
depravity. He should sentence him to one month's
imprisonment, and at the expiration of that time to
be well whipped with a birch rod.

TIIE NEW COURT-lIOUSE.
At half.past ten o'clock the grand jury came into
Court, when the Assistant-Judge directed their at-
tention to the various points in which the Court itself
was quite unfit fOr its purpose, and said the gentlemen
of the grand jury had ample opportunities of seeing
what the state of the other portions of the building
was, and how totally unfit they were for the accom-
Nodation of all partiei concerned, and he should,
therefore remit them to the consideration of the
subject.
John Davy pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with stealing a quantity of wooden posts and
rails, the property of the Great Western Railway
Company.
The prisoner called several witnesses, who gave him
an excellent character, and stated that up to the pre-
sent moment the greatest trust and confidence had
been reposed in him by his employer.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said it was a pity such a
person should forfeit his character, after a long life
honestly spent. The sentence of the Court was that
he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two
months.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Dunmore, Thomas Fower, and John Dun-
more, described as dock labourers, were charged with
robbing. a sailor, named John Sutherland, of his purse
containing 41. 2s. 6d.
The prosecutor stated that he came up from his
ship at Gravesend to Blackwall only yesterday. He
took lodgings at Poplar, and engaged the three pri-
soners to take his chest from Blackwall to his lodg-
ing. They agreed to do so, but suggested the
propriety of wetting the job, and leaving the chest
they all came up as far as Ratcliffe Highway to a
public-house. They remained drinking for a con-
siderable period, but the prosecutor declared he was
not tipsy. After some time a quarrel, real or pre-
tended, arose between one of the Dunmores and
another man present, and Fowler said to witness,
" Here, you are the best man of us all, fight this
fellow." Witness agreed to stand by his new friends
and do so, when they advised him to pull his
jackeff H
to_ e would not do so at first, knowing his
money -was in it, but they insisted, and ultimately
forced it ,off him, when away they ran, and he did
not scle them again till last night, when he gave them
into vustody•
Police-constable K 259, produced the jacket, and
som e money which was found on the prisoners.
In their defence, the prisoners called Joseph Dun-
mc ire, their father, who said he had been to the cap.
tai n of the complainant's ship, who said he had no
such money as that he professed to have lost.
Mr.Yaani.nr, however, did not attach much cre-
dence to this, and .committed them all three for trial.

The Earl of Be; sborough has appointed the Rev.
Alexaiader Powis, ALA., of St. Catherine Hall, Cam•

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO T:IREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500
bales only. Prices were id. per lb. lower than last
week. American realised sd. to 6/d., and one half the
quantity was taken for Glasgow.--Railway Shares de-
clined again. •
There are no late ship arrivals to•day with intelli
gence of any importance, but from the Continent we are
advised of the unfortunate suspension of Legrtile and
Co., the Brussels bankers. It is said that the a,sets ere
good.

A failuresin the country in the Calico trade LI also re-
ported, occasioned by the stoppage of Messrs. Motley
and Co.
The suggestion contained in the letter of a " Fore ign
Merchant" has attracted some attention, and as there
appears to be no grave objection to the plan of allowing
parties to have their gold and silver coined at the dint,
and no currency crochets are involved, the subject !nay
probably attract attention in the proper quarter.
The particulars exclusively given in Thc Sun of list
night, as to the numerous attendance of Miniaers at the
Cabinet Council, have excite d the impression that
there may yet be something done to relieve the existing
pressure, although the leading article of our contem-
porary, the 7 ivies, if it is to be taken as st mi official,
would rather disabuse the impression. We are afraid the
Times is too well informed in the matter, and has spuk,
like Othello "upon this hint."
The effect of the numerous commercial suspensions
has been most seriously to interfere with the usual
operations in foreign bills of exchange, but the rates are
altogether higher, on account of the few bills drawn.
There are now, indeed, more bills than ever being
drawn abroad on England, and hence the arrivals of
specie which are expected.
The affairs of Sanderson and Co. are considered to be
winding up very satisfactorily, but the large amount of
paper yet to run off—a million sterling—renders the
eventual proceeds still a ground of anxiety.
The Funds are much depressed again, and have lost
the improved tone of yesterday. Consols have been
82i after opening at 83. The "continuation" to
November is about per cent. Exchequer. bills base
been 11s. to 20s. discount. Bark Stock 180 to 182.
The Account settlement which takes place to-morrov,
affects prices.
The Foreign Funds have been heavy. Mexican arc
18 to 18k, and Spanish Three per Cents 261 to 27i.
Railway Shares have been at reduced rates.
