MR. WOOD, OF GLOUCESTER.

The Judges recently met to discuss some point relative
t0..-be will of this most singular character ; the extent
of whose wealth, and the contest for the possession of
the same, have already created considerable interest in
the public mind. The suits between the alleged executors
and the next of kin hare now been carried on for more
than. five years ; the possessor of this extensive property
having died on the •25tb of April, 1836, when nearly 80
years of •age. It is calculated that the same period of
time may elapse 'before the English laws will make a
final decision. ,The following is an authentic detail of
the amount of the wealth which this eccentric and parsi-
monious old man died possessed of, as follows

Added to this account of personal property, the free-
hold estates are valued ati 200,000/. ; so that with the
five years' interest now accumulated, we may reckon his
property to amount to the immense sum of nearly
1,200,0001.

The Judges of the Privy Council intend to give their
decision on this most important and extensive property on
the 16th inst., when Sir Matthew Wood and other parties
interested will know the destination of this ample fortune.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

/ROM TRH MORNING PAIIIItS Of THIS DAY,

CHRONICLE.—No party is so sensitive as the mo-
nopolists. Sometimes they meet an attack by an asser-
tion, sometimes by argument, but they never omit to
impute dishonest motives to their opponents. If a para-
graph appears in a Liberal paper stating that the cold
and damp weather has been unfavourable to the growth
of wheat, they say that the Whig-Radicals are exulting
in the prospect of a deficient harvest ; if the number of
houses shut up for want of tenants, or factories closed
for want of orders, is mentioned, they declare that this
is done to excite sedition, and to array one class of the
community against the other. The Rev. Baptist Noel
gets heartily abused for his arguments in favour of cheap
bread, and is told that he is repnted a Dissenter by the
very party which, for political purposes, insisted
that the Wesleyans were Churchmen. On points of
orthodoxy we do not profess to give opinions, espe-
cially as Mr. Noel exercises his functions as a
clergyman of the Church of England within the diocese
of London, and, we presume, under the license of its
Bishop, who is not generally suspected of a leaning to
dissent, or of that indolence which allows it to escape
uncensured. We rather think that had the reverend
gentleman written upon the advantage derived by tithe-
owners from the high price of corn, or abused the
Queen in an after-dinner speech, his heterodoxy would.
not have been noticed, and he might have been held
almost as good as a Puseyite. But the monopolists must
not be allowed to make the charge of promoting dissa-
tisfaction between classes without some attention, being
directed to their constant attacks upon the commer-
cial interests. Every body remembers the candid
assertion, that the total destruction of our Mann-
factures would do no harm to the country, and-- this
—though not repeated with so much simplicity and
candour—seems to be the tendency of the present
course of argument pursued by the monopolists. We
take this change as a proof that the labours of the anti-
monopolists have not been thrown away. The country
has become aware that should the present restrictions
continua, our manufactures must be ruined before " the
large and generous system of protection" [" hot ice mid
wondrous inelting snow"] recommended by the Standard
as a means of" creating a colonial trade which in a few
years will prove three times worth the trade of the Con-
tinent of Europe, and at the same time augment our
national strength in more than threefold ratio," can be
brought into action. The old fallacy, that the agricul-
turists are the best consumers, that they will support the
manufacturers by laying out on goods a portion of what
they have extorted in corn, has been exploded, and is
abandoned. The argument is drawing to a point. It
must soon be admitted in plain words that a change
must take place, or that the manufacturers must be
ruined. The change is to be resisted, and the best ap-
pearance is to be put upon the alternative.
TlMES.—Although we-cannot adopt the language of
an evening Contemporary, who calls the Protestant As-
sociation " a confederation of knaves and fools," we very
decidedly disapprove of the proceedings of that body,
and more especially of its interference with politics. The
violent fanaticism and vituperative fury, by which its-
orators are distinguished, are in no degree calculated to
advance the objects which they profess to have at heart.
It is altogether deficient in that sober, calm, and reve-•
rent zeal, which ought to characterise the advocacy of
truth. Every one knows how frequently and in what
strong terms, we have had occasion to express our opi-
nion of the manner in which too large a portion of the
Romish priesthood prostitute their influence in Ireland to
electioneering purposes. When priests have been found
instigating the ferocious passions of a misguided popu-
lace to criminal actions, we have never hesited to de-
scribe them as the ruffians they are. But when we
find a professedly religious society speaking of the
collective clergy of that communion in the sister island,
as "not more honest than those of Illahomet, not more
pure than those of Paganism, not less inhuman than
those of Juggernaut," we really cannot sympathise with
so wholesale and monstrous an accusation. It is too
