LAW AND POLICE.

Mr. Henry Cockerill Leatham, who had been dis-
charged under the Insolvent Act some years ago, ap-
peared in the Court yesterday for the purpose of paying
over to his creditors a legacy of 1,0001., minus the duty,
601. The Commissioner justly praised this honourable
conduct, and ordered the money, 9401., to be paid into
Court.

A man of the name of Jourdan, a German, was
taken before the Magistrates at Lambeth-street yester-
day for breaking windows. On inquiry it appeared that
the unfortunate man was insane, that he had been tried

wile's thl'oat, and afterwards his own ; acquitted on
the ground of insanity, and sent to a lunatic asylum at
Horton, from which he was released on Friday. He

was ordered to be taken before the parish officers of
Shoreditch for safe custody.
At the Northampton Assizes, on Tuesday, a
butcher, of the name of Roddis, obtained a verdict of
801. damages against Mr. Faircloth. a surgeon of that
town, for the seduction of his daughter.

blished house of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. A
vast amount of debts was admitted without opposition.
The debts and liabilities are said to amount to 450,000/.,

PUBLIC OPINION.
The Tory papers are all taken up with Lord Morpeth's
farewell speech to the electors of the West Riding of
Yorkshire. The Herald warmly declares that it is all
that such a speech should be ; the tender and compas-
sionate heart of the Post is quite melted with its affect-
ing eloquence ; and as for the Times, it sets no bounds
to its admiration of his Lordship's rhetoric ! Indeed our
Contemporary is quite hysterical on the subject. The
Noble Viscount must be greatly distressed and self-
abased by such hyperbolical approbation. To be abused
by the Tories is flattering enough to any sincere Re-
former ; but to be praised by them, is humiliating to the
last degree. We have no doubt that Lord Morpeth will
be far more annoyed by the eulogiums of the Tory
journals, than even by the loss of. his election.
The Morning Chronicle justly remarks, in an
article suggested by the Times' proposal for new Co-
lonial bishoprics, that " all that is sordid and grasping
in the Church now begins to count upon its harvest-
time." The expected return of the Tories to power is,
indeed, an event full of promise for the Church, and as
full of disappointment for the people ; for ten new tax-
paid Colonial Bishops, as our Contemporary observes,
are among the least of the blessings we may look forward
to from a Peel Administration. It is evident, from the
tenor of the article in the Times of yesterday, that
Mother Church is already getting her sickle ready for
the approaching harvest.
The Morning Advertiser atttibutes the result of the
elections mainly to the misconduct of the Whigs, who,
when they had the power to do good, showed themselves
wanting in the inclination.

The Dublin Evening Post has no faith in the stability
of the anticipated Peel GovernMent, and seems to think
that there are many of the more Liberal Tories who will
refuse to march through Coventry with Sir Robert and
his ragged regiment.
—lt is the opinion of the Worcestershire Chronicle,
and other Liberal Journals in that county, that, not-
withstanding the election returns, at least three-fourths
of the people are in favour of the great remedial mea-
sures brought forward by Government.
