Such is the rapid suppression of animosities in

China. While one portion of the Asiatic race is
swallowing its wrath, and bowing its neck to the
yoke of its superiors in physical power and political
knowledge, another is chafing under the sway of
its fortuitous magistracy. In both these circum-
stances are perceptible a diseased state of intelligence,
and a want of a more advanced civilisation. In both are
visible the precariousness of their quietude and the
uncertainty of their alliance. The sudden submission
of MOOLRAJ and EMAUM-00D-DEEN recals to our
recollection the proverbs about Indian duplicity.
The disturbances of the boatmen at Macao is another
testimony of the instability of Chinese friendship.

The nearer we approach to the Parliamentary
session of 1847, speculation becomes daily more rife,
not with respect to the objects of national import, to
which the new and principal measures of the Go-
vernment will be directed (on these heads the public
are already tolerably well enlightened), but every
surmise is freely canvassed as to what will be the
feelings and actual state of political parties in the
House of Commons on the 19th of next
month. The inquiry is a very natural one,
and is certainly of the highest interest, since
upon the political combinations that may be formed
out of the disorganised materials of parties, which so
peculiarly characterised the close of the past session,
will the stability of the present Government be essen-
tially determined. The various on dits appear to us
to be entitled to little or no consideration. Many of
them are based upon the assumption that Sir ROBERT
PEEL will, for a while, cease to take an active part in
St. Stephen's, if not altogether retire from public life.
Surely this is a very unreasonable supposition. If the
latter portion of it were true, there would, in
all probability, have been long since issued a
new writ for the borough of Tamworth. Again,
that it is t2ae intention of the ex-Premier to refrain
from prominently sharing in the deliberations of
Parliament, is another rumour to which no credence
can be justly attached. It is quite at variance with
every sentence that fell from Sir R. PEEL, when he
officially announced the resignation of his Ministry.
So far did he appear to be from meditating retirement
from public life, that he was at considerable pains to
explain to the House the spirit in which he
was prepared to act, in his private capacity as
a Member of Parliament, with respect to Ireland, the
progress of commercial reform, and other matters
likely to cceupy the attention of the Senate. Since
the accession to power of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, there
has been leather, by speech nor act, any indication, on
the part of the late Prime Minister, that he contem-
plates taking a different course from that which he
sketched 011 the occasion to which we have alluded.
That sketch. evidently implied that he meant to con-
tinue to lead' his political supporters, and, in opposi-
tion, dispassionately to review any measures which his
sucessors in. office might think proper to introduce. It
appears to 171,3, therefore, that nothing is less probable
than the notion that Lord LANCOLN will assume the
post which has hitherto been ostensibly filled by Sir
et. PEEL, when out of office.
The attempt to conjecture, at this moment, what
will be the pe:obable position, or combination of par•
ties, in the popular branch of the Legislature, is alto.
gether futile. It may certainly be predicated that
the angry fi!elings of the agricultural representatives,
as exhibited (luring the course of the last session, will
be found to be considerably mollified, seeing that,
since the rising of Parliament both corn and land
have obtain ed high and remunerating prices, to the
utter contra diction of their gloomy and oft-reiterated
prophecies. But the benefit of this improved feeling
will, in a pi arty sense, be shared not less—indeed,
perhaps MO:fl:—by Lord JOHN than by Sir ROBERT
PEEL. For,, :if the change in the corn-laws is to work
well for the landed interest, as we have all along
contended it would, Lord J. RUSSELL has a stronger
claim than is political rival upon the gratitude and
confidence *of the agricultural Members, by rea-
son of rae earlier conversion to which his
mind was brought to the policy of abolish-
ing duties ',upon the importation of grain, the
produce of fie reign countries.. The futility of reason-
ing further, zis to the continued division of parties on
the one ban d, or their possible amalgamation on the
other, will be best rendered clear, by reflecting upon
what are thee points which will have the directest in-
fluence in c susing them repectively to decide whether
they will uphold, or resist the Government. These
points resor ye themselves under two heads ;—First,
the mode in which the Cabinet have administered the
affairs, extern al and internal, of the empire since the
prorogation of Parliament ; and next, the nature and
tendency ok'" the measures which the Government
shall have p: ,e pared for future legislation.
Upon the "latter point all opposition (if any of im-
portance sh. ,uld be offered) must necessarily remain
in abeyant: v, or, rather, cannot be legitimately
kindled, till the schemes shall have been formally
expounded to the Legislature. In regard to the
former, and especially as relates to foreign policy
and Ireland, -very much will necessarily depend upon
the views w' Rich Sir R. PEEL and the Stanleyites may
severally em brace. Until, therefore, their opinions
shall have be ea respectively revealed within the walls
of Parliamet it, the curious and the anxious, con-
cerning the m J.ture consolidation, or the continued
disruption of :political parties, must, for the presen
be content to remain unsatisfied and unrelieved.

being detestable, selfish, and anti-national, is com-
be t d by a constant oppos:tien iii the Ctiesele
in the Arras, amongst tile electors, lii Lee a4oui•
opal councils, in the National Guar:l ; wherever, in fact,
a more popu!ar sentiment animates men's hearts—wher-
ever it is desired that the Revolution of July should not
be lost in a stretched abortion. It is, therefore, the
sentiment that ought to be opposed and overturned, in
order to substitute a totally different order of ideas and
facts—another system of policy for that which we have
a right to declare not only narrow and insufficient, but
hostile to all the principles of the revolution, disastrous
to the country, and degradieg to its nationality. This
is what we desired to say, and what we said ; and this is
what we now repeat ; because if discussion cannot go to
such a length, no discussion is possible. What was in-
criminated the other day, we have written a thousand
times, and heard a thousand times in the Chamber, and
there is not a single Opposition journal that is not as guilty
as we. But do our readers wish to know what M. Hebert
pretends ? He says that the system is the King—that
to say that the system is odious is to offend the King's
person—to declare that the system ought to be attacked
and thrown down, is to say that the King ought to be
overturned—and that is, besides, to adhere to another
form of Government ! This pretension of M. Hebert
doss appear to us at least strange, and we complain in
particular that it supposes that we do not know how to
write our language. The King is not a system ; the
term system is necessarily a collective term ; if we, by
chance, attacked the system of the law- officers of the
Crown, relative to the press, that would not mean that
we attacked M. Hebert personally ; and if we offended
against that system, M. Hebert would not be ectitled to
consider himself ample enough to take the offence to
himself alone."
On the subject of the recal of M. BARBET DE JOEY
we find the following sensible observations in the
Epoque, and we believe the version of the affair here
given to be the correct one :
" Our readers will remember that we were the first to
give details on the affair of M. Barbet de Jouy, the
French Consul at the Mauritius. The particulars since
received have made no change in our statements, and,
consequently, we have but little occasion to answer the
Opposition journals, who have treated the removal of
the Consul to another post as an act of culpable weak-
ness. It is already known that M. Barbet de Jouy did not
pay the visit to Admiral Dacres on his arrival at the
island, although such was the clear and formal rule of
etiquette. The officers of the English frigate, which bore
the Admiral's flag, gave a ball, and sent an invitation to
the Ceeetil. After waiting 24 hours in the expectation
that M. Barbet de Jouy would perform some act of
po-
liteness to the Admiral, either by a personal visit or by
letter, two officers went to his residence and withdrew the
invitation ; whereupon our Consul, who had not yet had
any intercourse with Ai'miral Dacres, wrote the letter
which has been the sole cause of his removal. It has
been said that there were anterior circumstances at
which M. Barbet de Joey took offence, and which in-
duced him not to make the official visit due from him.
We admit this; we even admit that the Consul felt
sensibly the withdrawal of the invitation he had re-
ceived; and regretting these coolnesses, which are inju-
rious to public affairs, we could have well conceived that
M. Barbet de Jouy, if he had reason to believe that he
was in the right, should have laid an explanation before
Admiral Dacres with all possible dignity and firmness.
Unfortunately he did not do this. Instead of a firm and
consistent letter, he addressed to the Admiral one filled
with insults. Instead of maintaining his rights as Consul,
he personally provoked the Admiral in terms unworthy
of them both; insomuch that two men between whom
such a letter has passed could not meet without collaring
each other, or cntting each other's throats. M. Barbet
de Joey, therefore, has been wanting in due discretion.
Some may believe him to have been only firm; these are
in error, for we think he entirely forgot himself; and are
fully convinced that he now regrets the expris ions he
used, which were inconsistent with his character as
much as with the character of an Admiral. After
having written such a letter, M. Barbet do Jouy could
no loner remain at the Mauritius without
exposing himself to circumstances which must
have brought on a personal conflict. He seems
have felt this himself, from his retiring to the
Island of Bourbon. What could the Government do in
such a case? Support its agent? Impossible !
No official or privete intercourse could exist between
him ard the English authorities. It, therefore, became
necessary to remove him to another post. lire have
reason to believe that in this instance Lord Palmerston
has b-en more moderate than could have been expected
from his reputation and situation, and that Lord Aber-
deen could not have conducted himself otherwise. We
cannot sufficiently repeat that Governments ought never
to hold themselves engaged, without examination, by the
acts of its agents, and that a dispute about etiquette
passing at a distance of 4,000 miles never can affect the
general situation of Europe. France is governed by her
King and Chambers, and these great powers cannot
always be guiding Consuls in leading-strings. Let their
agents be energetically supported when they are in the
right ; this is indispensable ; but they must repudiate
their acts when they are in the wrong."
The Conslitutionnel, after long hesitating between
the free-traders and the monopolists, has at length
taken its stand as the champion of monopoly. The
Journal des Debats, on the- contrary, has declared
itself the advocate of free-trade principles, but in so
doing, it states expressly that it is not to be under-
stood as speaking the sentiments of the Government,
which is not to be considered as at all pledged to
free-trade principles, because it has authorised the
existence of the Association des Litres _Exchangistes,
its only object in such authorisation being to enable
each party to discuss their principles before the
public. It is, however, satisfactory to know that it is
the intention of the French Government to modify
the Customs' tariff. The following is the article of
the Debals:—
" The question of the Customs' tariff excites at this
moment a certain degree of interest in the country. A
report is in 'circulation that the Government was
preparing to revive a tariff the principal provisions of
which date back as far as 1822, or even as the imperial
decrees of those of the Convention. Nothing more
could be necessary than this to cause a real or factitious
alarm to spread through many of the manufacturing
centres. Nothing could be, however, more natural,
than the belief that a regime which might have been
good when our manufactures were in their infancy would
not be suitable now that such admirable progress has
been made, and that the perfection of our products is
so striking; nothing can be more simple than to admit,
when one has been enlightened by long experience,
what certain exaggerations costs the country—the
producer as well as the consumer. The Government
might, therefore, in conscience think that the time was
come to revise the costoms' tariff, without any one being
surprised or moved at it. But what foundation is there
fur the supposition that the new customs law will
be subversive, and that the Government contemplates
sinister projects against our manufacturing interests ?
Up to this time the customs laws which the present
Government have! proposed have not been rash ones.
Many persons wh o support the Ministry have even found
that they rather -tend to a contrary excess, and have
declared their opl;nion that they appear too timid. If
the Ministry, which is not fond of adventurous conduct
of any kind, wore to propose a hazardous customs'
tariff. the Chanabin's have the remedy in their hands.
Those who in 1845 voted, for the benefit of what was
called national labour, the exorbitant duties which
now press on oleaginous seeds, are still very numerous in
the elective Cham ter, and those who with success in 1841
and 1842 made their deplorable levy of bucklers against
the Belgian union do not appear to have lost any of their
energy. But, it is said, an association is formed, the name
of which alone inc icates an object hostile to national la-
bour, it loudly dem: tads freedom of trade. It wishes to throw
down the barrio: rs behind which French industry has
hitherto found pr otection. It is true that a free-trade
eseociation exists ; but what is there in common betwen
that society and the Government? Why should the
letter be responsible for the creed of the former? As
far as we have been well informed up to this time, the
formal demands of the association have nothing in them
to give uneasiness to the manufacturing interests. It
has, in fact, appeared to confine itself to pointing out
freedom of commerce as an object to be attained with
time, and under the reserve of fiscal rights which may
be indefinitely reaCntained ; this proposition has nothing
dangerous in it. It has maintained that the moment
was come to taker a sti p in advance towards commercial
liberty, by lowering and simplifying the tariff. In this
it has only repeated what many before it has thought
and said. But is it the free-trade association which
has inspired the Government with the idea
of the proposed -changes ? Why should it not be as
well the rival association, quite as well authorised, which
has taken the name of the defence of national labour?
But what would be more menacing than the chimerical
project of overthrowing our commercial and manufac-
turing system, by ea sudden transition from the protec-
tive system to that of free- trade, would be an attempt
to prevent the Government from introducing a moderate
and wise Bill. If th ere is any danger which at this mo-

Ryinaskiewicg, had been arrested aLd given up to the
Pru,sian authorities cs being a Prussian subj,ct. On
the arrival of the prisoner at this plsc., tho prt-siduit of
the police visit,d him in prison, and discovered that it
was anither person, who had assumed the name of
Rymaskiewieg, in order that he might not be given up
to the Russian authorities. It has not yet been decided,
what is to be done with the prisoner, but hopes are en-
tertained that he will be liberated."

By the Levant mail we have received Athens
papers to the 10th, and intelligence from Constanti-
nople to the 7th.

An Athens journal publishes the following note,
dated October 20, 1846, from Lord PALMERSTON to
Sir EDMOND LYONS, in reply to a letter of the 10th
September, to which was annexed a copy of a letter
from M. COLETTI to M. MUSSIJRIS, the Envoy of the
Sublime Porte at Athens, on the subject of emigra-
tion to Turkey. Lord PALMERSTON says—
" I set out upon the principle that all who reside in
Greece, whether they have lived there for a long time,
or arrive from any part of Turkey, enjoy the incontest-
able right of quitting Greece when they please.
When the three Powers created the kingdom of Greece,
they wished to establish a free state, and not a prison.
It is natural that the Government should see with an
unfavourable eye Greeks preferring to emigrate into
Turkey, instead of remaining in the kingdom; but it is
the fault of the Greek Government if this preference
exists. If the Greek Ministry persists in its system of
bad government, and if, besides, brigandage, oppression,
and murders increase, because they remain unpunished;
if there be no security for the property of peaceful and
laborious inhabitants, it would be astonishiag, in fact,
if those who can quit the kingdom should remain any
longer in it. I &sire that you may transmit officially to
M. Colletti a copy of this letter."

The Moniteiir Grec announces that COLETTI'S
health is so much improved, that he will be soon ena-
bled to resume his duties.

Intelligence has been received at Constantinople
of the death of 'PAYER PACIIA, the Turkish Comman-
der-in-chief in Kurdistan.' The Government state
that he died of apoplexy, but it was reported at
Constantinople that he had been killed in an action
against the rebels, in which the Turkish army had
been completely defeated.

A letter from Rome, of the 12th, gives the follow-
ing additional details of the late storm in that city:—
" Wektiow not how to describe to you the effects of
the tempest which has devastated this city for the last
four days, and which still continues. We never wit-
nessed such weather ; the rain fell in torrents, and the
thunder rolled incessantly. The Tiber overflowed its
banks in the most frightful manner ; one-half the city
is inundated Ny its waters, and the inhabitants of the
Corso have five feet depth of water round their houses.
All the quarter of the Campo Marzo, the Chetto,
Ripetto. the Corso from the Place du Peuple to the
Place Colonna Las the appearance of a large lake. The
inhabitants, surprised by the rapidity of the inundation,
found themselves prisoners in their houses without food,
and several without any assistance being possible.
Since 1805 such a scene has not been witnessed. The
lots has been immense. The shops and the cellars are
under water. Yesterday the waters subsided a little.
A part of the Corso is free; but boats still ply through
the adjacent streets, carrying provisions to those who
are still imprisoned. The Jews' quarter has suffered
the most, but the extent of the disaster cannot be yet
known; the mails no longer arrive, and two or three
bridges on the high road from Bologna, and in the
Marches, have been carried away."
Monsignor GRAssomm has been appointed Governor
of Rome, in the room of Monsignor I):lAnixr, ap-
pointed AutilLor-General of the Chamber. The
Commission of Legislation charged to prepare a new
code, continuos its labours actively. The Code Na-
poleon is to form the basis of the new legislation ;
but the laws of other countries are also carefully
examined, with a view to render the work of the
Commission more complete.

The accounts brought from Lisboa, by the
Scourge steamer, just arrived at Portsmouth, are to
the 14th. At that date SCHIVALI3ACK had advanced
against St. Übes, which had been evacuated twelve
hours before his arrival, by theguerillas of DAS ANTAS
—their avowed tactics being to wear out the QUEEN'S
troops, by harassing them, anti to avoid coming to
action if possible. In their retreat the guerillas were
joined by nearly the 'whole of the men forcibly en-
rolled by the QUEEN'S Government as " St. Übes'
Chartist Volunteers." :During the occupation of St.
Übes the guerillas behaved exceedingly well, and
manifested no disposition to annoy either foreigners
or natives residing in the town. Nothing further
has been heard at Liz bon as to the rumoured
defeat of LArx by Boistruu. The last ac-
counts represent Bomr.um as being at Alcobaca and
LAPA at Pombal ; with the Coimbra insurgents and
VILLA REAL's guerillas in front and BOMFIM'S 2,000
men in his rear. The Marquis of LOULE, at Coimbra,
had 4,ooo:men and; 14 pieces of cannon with him,
CASAL was advancing against Oporto, and it was said
that DAs ANTAS, leaviag 2,000 men to garrison
Santarem, had marched tc• its relief. •

Madrid papers to the 210th have arrived.
It appears that the Min isterial crisis is over for the
present, and that the Ministry will hold together
until the meeting of the (Cortes, when, it is not im-
probable, that an attempt will be made by Senor
PACHECO to form a new Ci ibinet. The Clamor Publico
states that he lias been ,eonsulted by the QUEEN on
the sue jest. General 17.0-Neard, it is said, will be the
ne.w Governor of Cuba, and General Vix.r.A.LoNGA.
has been dispatched to frontiers of Portugal; he
is accompanied by his s!0 ff and by two squadrons of
Lancers.
The Eco del Comereio announces that the notori-
ous ALBERNI, upon whose denunciations General
PRIM was arrested and banished, has, in his turn,
been arrested and imprisoned, but upon what charge
is not stated. The sari] a journal, alluding to the
report that the Ministry b as held a discussion on the
means of preventing M. Or.ozaoa from taking his
seat in the Chamber of Deputies, observes that the
hatred of the Court and of the Ministry to this gen-
tleman is no ground for trampling upon the law,
which opposes no barrier to his performing the duties
entrusted to him by the erectors.

We have received the Faris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Presse of Friday has a long article on the
subject of the English alli ~nce, which, of course, is
filled with abuse of this country. Our readers will
recollect, that one day Tat it week, the _National was
seized by the Government officers. It now appears
that the article on the re ct d of M. BARBET DB JOEY
from the Mauritius, was the one which was con-
sidered as 'seditious. On_ this subject, the National
has the following :
" The responsible editor ~of the National having ap-
peared yesterday before la . St. Didier, the Judge of
Instruction, we at length h r ow what caused our seizure
the other day. We, who dim lared that we knew nothing
about the matter, were, it ivy Sears, covered with crimes!
M. Hebert has, however, hiai I the extreme kindness to
talc° up only three in a ra .her short article ; but, if
he had thought fit to look closely, he could have fuund
several others quite as uses estrous as those of which
we are accused. The f 011.6. wing are the three enormi-
ties committed by us, wit; ac ut our being aware of it
I, Offence against the Ki.n; fs person; 2, Assigning to
the King the responsibility' o r the acts of his government;
3, Adhesion to another foi zn ,of government. It is evi-
dent that if M. Hebert did :not accuse us of exciting to
hatred and contempt, of pi ovoking to overturn—pro-
voking without the propc se d effect being carried into
execution—cm] three or I 'oiar other slight offences, the
reason is that he is a goof natured person, and that he
has a secret kindness for the National. As the public is
the first judge of press oi.fenees, we would willingly
take for arbitrators in our et :se, not our friends, but our
daily adversaries. The i)6 Oats, for instance, discussed
one of the articles of the nu Daher that was seized. Had
it by chance discovered, we should like to know, in that
article or elsewhere, the tin we offences specified above?
What was the subject tree iteE iof in the article? We had
been reproached with ha yin g opposed the policy of the
Cabinet with respect to F.. ipa in, and of having maintained
that this marriage having for oken the English alliance, it
was desired to re establish it at the price of the most
shameful concessions. ' the • punishment which fell on

of Lord Palmerston, w as a first justification of our
views. We showed all th to -weakness and cowardice that
existed in that precipitf Lte reparation accorded by M.
Guizot, at the expense of a public functionary represent-
ing our country, and n ho had himself been gravely
insulted. We were enti
.d to draw the conclusion
that Lord Palmerston rya s seeking for all occasions

following a w re, ached system, was receiving

tain ? What matters I Jae absence of this secondary
ilea, if the general and Er./ ?erior idea still lords it over
public affairs, and maint. un s the policy of the Govern-
ment iu that order of is leas and effects in which
it has been so long dra gg ing on ? It is not, there-
fore, any particular man' of men that ought to he at-.
tacked, but the ideas, the direction, the eizsemb!e of
the policy—in a word, the: p ,stem itself. This ,system

meat requires consideration, it is that, uuder pretence
of opposing what are disdainfully called theories, a great
effort is made to patronize a barbarous and impracticable
theory of commercia 1 isolation; it is that, with the ap-
parent object of gmarding against an imaginary evil,
some interests abusing their privilege should weigh in
the balance in order to paralyse some of our most pre-
cious liberties, and to intimidate functionaries, private
individuals, and the Government itself."

The Constitutional says, " We are assured that M.
GUIZOT intends, on the day following the opening of
the session of the Chambers, which is fixed for the
11th, to lay on the bur'iau of the Deputies the diplo-
matic correspondence that has taken place on the sub-
ject of the Spanish marriages. If the Chamber of
Peers should discuss its address within the three or
four days following the opening of the session, M.
GUIZOT will be able to explain himself publicly before
the English Parliament meets on the 19th."
Ile hp.s also, it is said, caused to be printed for
circulation among the Members of both Houses,
extracts from speeches sur les relations de la France
et de l'Espvne, delivered by him within the period
comprised between the 18th of November, 1840, and
25th of May, 1846, with the object of showing that
his language, relative to the determination of his
Government that Frari.ce would never consent to the '
marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with any other than
a Bourbon, had been uniformly consistent.
Rumours had been 'circulated in Paris, during
Thursday and Friday, that the state of the KING'S

was calculated to create alarm. On Saturgpv.

warped by prejudice against the last Currency Bill of
Sir Robert Peel, and anticipates a decided
pressure from
this necessity of importing from abroad. The writeraeks:

new, imperative traffic in foreign corn ? In France and

Colonel BARON Boat ST. VINCENT, honorary
member of the Academy of Sciences, and member of
several learned societies, has just expired, aged sixty-
six. Under the Empire this officer was engaged in
many of the great battles then fought, and was suc-
cessively aide-de-camp to Marshal NET and Marshal
SOULT. The deceased was author of several scientific
works of great merit.
The Bulletin des Lois publishes an ordonnance,
modifying the system of customs at present in force
in Algeria. Pitch, and all kinds of bituminous sub-
stances, as well as fresh table fruits, are to be ad-
mitted free of duty. Bark for tanning is not to be
allowed to leave the colony for any other destination
than France.
The Courrier Francais says-
" We mentioned a few days since that the Bey of
Tunis had manifested an intention of establishing agents
ti:e principal ports in Algeria. It is said that this
plan has been partly realised, and that the post of
Consul-General at Algiers has just been conferred on
one of the personages who accompanied him into France.
In order to show the advantage of this measure, it is
sufficient to mention the commercial movement of the
last few years between the Regency of Tunis, Algeria,
and Franco. The total value of exchanges between
France and Tunis was, in 1836, 2,497,000 f. ; in 1837,
3,373,0001; in 1838, 3,865,000 f.; in 1839, 3,131,0001.; in
1840, 4,167,000 f. ; and in 1843, 6,006,000 f. The com-
mercial movement between Algeria and Tunis amounted,
in 1836, to 379,000 f. ; in 1843, to 3,401,000 f. This
great increase merits particular notice."

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Howland, a beardless youth, was charged with
smoking in one of the West- end oinnibussee, and vio-
lently assaulting the conductor.
John Evans, omnibus conductor, No. 1,436, said he
was driving along Oxford-street last night, about half-
past seven o'clock, with his full complement of pas-
sengers, when one of the gentlemen reside complained
to him of a person smoking in the omnibus. He put in
his head and saw the prisoner with a cigar in his mouth
lit, which he requested him to put out. The prisoner
refused, and complainant therefore stopped the omnibus
and went inside and requested the young roan a second
time to put the cigar out, and was answered only with
oaths and language of a disgusting description. Com-
plainant told him he must either put out the cigar or
leave the omnibus. The prisoner swore he would do
neither, and struck complainant several blows about the
face and head, completely smashing in his hat, and
knocking him out of the omnibus, down the steps, into
the street. Complainant, as he could not get
him out of the carriage, shut the door, and pro-
ceeded on his way till ho met with a policeman.
He called the constable, and wished him to take the pri-
soner into custody, but he became so violent, striking
the constable, that, at the policeman's advice, they pro-
ceeded fuother on with the omnibus till another constable
was got, and the prisoner was then given into custody.
Police-constablo 153 D confirmed this evidence.
William Mocking, 101. Last-street, Manchester-
square, said be was one of those in the omnibus last
night, having entered it immediately before the pre-,oner
in Edgware-road. From the place where the prisoner
got in in the Edgware-road to Oxford-street he conti-
nued smoking, notwithstanding the entreaties of
several ladies who were in the conveyance, and even of
the lady that was with himself. One of the ladies had
a child on her knee, and the smoke caused the child to
cough without intermission. The witness then spoke to
the attack on the conductor and the police constables,
and confirmed the previous evidence.
The prisoner said he was a gentleman's valet, and that
he had put the cigar out when told to do so ; only the
manner in which the conductor told him to do it,
provoked him to forget himself. He hoped the magistrate
would treat the case with leniency.
Mr. HARDWICK, after giving him a severe reprimand,
sentenced him to a fine of 505., or one month's imprison-
ment, for the ass:: nit on the police-constable, and 505.,
or one month, for the assault on the conductor, in all 5/.,
or two month 4 i rnprisonment.
Jane Ztlucide, a respectable-looking ele.erly woman,
was charged with entering a house in Windmill-street,
early on Sunday morning, and stealing several articles
therefrom.

Police-constable 107 C, said he was on duty in Great
Windmill-street, about a quarter-past one o'clock on
Sunday morning, and seeing the private doer of the house
Nu. 22 open, he turned his bull's-eye upon it, and saw
the prisoner standing in the passage, with the basket,
which he produced in Court, in her hand. She put down
the basket, and he asked her whether she lived in the
house. She said she did, and in the second floor. He
knocked at the parlour door, and the landlord came out,
and said he knew nothirg whatever about the woman,
and the things she had were his. He therefore took her
in to custody.

James 13Melt:HD, bootmaker, No. 22, Great Windmill-
stieet, identified the basket and the things which were
in it as his property. He had left them about half an
hour before in the kitchen. She prisoner was a stranger
to him.

Mr. llARDwicx committed her for trial at the Mid-
dlesex se2sions.

Donations of one sovereign from C. S. K., and 5/.
through Messrs. Coutts and Co., anonymously, were re-
ceived in aid of the poor -box.

SOUTHWARK.-(TEIIS DAY.)
Henry"lloss, a middle-aged man, dressed in dark
clothes, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing
two great coats, the property of Mr. Saxton, of Albion-
place, Blackfriars-road. The prisoner is suspected of
committing several other robberies by the following
stratagem :
A servant girl in the complainant's house stated that
on Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, the prisoner
called, and, producing a bottle of dark-looking liquid,
said that he had been sent from No. 14, Ludgate-hill,
and at the same time handed a receipt for 2s. 6d., for a
bottle of ink, signed W. B. Moseley. He then said that
he would wait in the hell while she took the bottle and
receipt to her master, and she then proceeded to the
room, and had scarcely entered when she heard the
street dcor shut. She immediately returned to the hall,
with her master, when the prisoner was found to have
left the house, taking with him two great coats which
were hanging up in the hall. The complainant hastened
after the thief in the direction of Blackfriars-bridge,
where he was secured with the articles in his posses,-ion.
The police-inspector said that information had been
received at the station-house that a man, answering the
prisoner's description, had succeeded in committing seve-
ral robberies of a similar character on the south side of
the river.

• The MAGISTRATE (Mr. Seeker) said the prisoner's
appearance favoured the deception he had recourse to in
effecting his purpose, and asked bim what he had to say
in answer to the charge ?--The prisoner, who looked
very desponding, said that at present he declined saying
any thing on the subject.--He was remanded to give other
persons plundered by him an opportunity of attending.
George Bryant, a tall young man, was charged with
being found within the railing of Rowland Hill's chapel
for an unlawful purpose.
A policeman stated, that about one o'clock on Satur-
day morning he discovered the prisoner within the rails
of the above chapel, with an iron crow-bar, lucifer
matches, and a piece of candle ; suspecting he was about
to break into the chapel he apprehended him.
The prisoner said he was drunk, and went over the
rails to lie down ; that he knew nothing about the crow
bar, or how it came into his possession.
When asked to give an account of himself he said,
that he was a journeyman carpenter, in the employ of
Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and worked at the Houses
of Parliament ; that he was no thief, and had good
wages.

Mr. SECICER sad that appearances at present were
catainly very much against the prisoner, the fact of a
housebreaking implement and other articles being found
in his possession favoured the presumption that his in-
tentions were to break into the chapel and commit
sacrilege.
The prisoner, however, declared that it was all arising
from intoxication during this holiday time.
Mr. SECKER said that, notwithstanding the prisoner's
asseverations of innocence, he should not part with him
until minute inquiry was made respecting him.-Ijo
was then remanded.
