BRIGHTON, JAN. 22.

Yesterday the Duke of Dorset and Sir Benjamin Ste-
venson took leave of their Majesties, awl left the Pavilion
for London.

Sr; Edward Di.browe had the honour of an audience of
the King ; after which, accompanied by Miss D'Este, bis
Majesty took a carriage airing to near Shoreham, and re-
turned to the Palace near four o'clock.

The Queen and the Princess Augusta did not leave the
Palace grounds during the day.
The Earl and Countess of Albemarle are expected to
arrive at the Palace on Saturday next, on a visit to their
Majesties.
Their Majesties entertained at dinner, last evening, the
Princess Augusta, Earl and Countess of Mayo, Lord Sal-
toun, Lord Burghersh, Sir Andrew Barnard, Captain and
Miss Maitland, Captain George Pechell, R.N., Sir P.
and Lady Sarah Maitland, Mr. C. Culling Smith. Mr.
Cunard, Lieutenant• Colonel Cathcart, Lady Mary Taylor,
Miss Bagot, Lady Georgiana Cathcart, Lady Mary Fox,
and Viscount and Viscountess Falkland. The Queen's
hand attended, as on the previous evening, and performed
some select pieces of music.
The King will bold a Council on Friday next, at the
Pavilion, at which most of the Alinisters will be present.

As the Master of the Horse was proceeding to Brighton,
during the past month, to attend a Council at the Pavilion,
being specially summoned by his Majesty for that purpose,
a toll-taker on this side of Crawley, demanded toll from
the noble Earl, which he refused to pay, being, as he
alleged, exempted from toll as he was summoned to
Brighton by his Majesty, and was travelling in one of the
royal carriages. This, however, would not satisfy the
gatekeeper, and after some altercation, the amount de-
manded was paid, and the Noble Lord, was suffered to pass
on. A few days past this gatekeeper was summoned be-
fore the Brighton magistrates, for having illegally demanded
the toll, and be was convicted in the mitigated penalty of
21. ss. against which decision an appeal was immediately
lodged, and the matter will consequently become the sub-
ject of future litigation.

The following is a copy of the Ministerial cir-
cular addressed to those Members of the House of Commons
who in general support Government :

" Downing.street, Jan. 9, 1534.

" Sir,—The meeting of Parliament for the despatch of busi.
ness being fixed for the 4th of February, and important busi-
ness being to be proceeded on without delay, I take the liberty
of requesting your attendance in the House of Commons on
that day.

" I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient
servant, " ALTHORP."

The Princess Sophia of Gloucester has sub-
scribed 10/., and the Archbishop of Canterbury 201.,

The Archbishop's letter transmitting his subscription is
couched in terms expressive of his high admiration of the
talents and virtues of the deceased lady.
The Marquis of Abercorn was among the
visitants last assembled at the Earl of Verolam's, at Gor-
hambury. The Marchioness in consequence of her deli-
cate state of health, will, it is expected, remain with her
noble parents, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, at
Woburn Abbey, until after her accouchement

The Marquis de la Balinaye entertained a
party at dinner the evening before last, at his residence in
Upper Harley-street. Among the company were the E trl
and Countess of Shrewsbury and Lady Mary Talbot, Che-
valier de Vial, and his ton, the Secretary to the Bavarian
Minister, Chevalier de Lima and Count Sarmente.

The Right Honourable the Earl of Aberdeen
has appointed the Rev. Thomas Bisset, M.A., chaplain of
the E. I. M. S. Addiscombe, to he one of his Lordship's
domestic chaplains. _ _

The party at Apsley House on Monday, the
3d of Febreary, will be composed of 45, including the
leading Members of the Conservative interest in both
Houses of Parliament, and with the Dukes of Cumber-
land and Gloucester.

The Duke of Newcastle and the Duke of
Norfolk are sJid to be the only two English Dukes who
are Peers of the Plantagenet dynasty ; the Dukes of So-
merset, Beaufort, Rutland, and Dorset, belong to the
Tudor dynasty ; the Dukes of Richmond, Grafton, St.
Alban., Leeds, Devonshire, Marlborough, and Manchester
to the Stuart dynasty.

Baron Bulow has abandoned his intention of
removing his embassy for the present from Great Cum-
berland•place. He has renewed his term for six months
longer.
Mr. L. Bulwer is in Paris, whither he went
(the French papers oy exclusively) for the purpose of being
present at the Parliamentary debut of the poet Lamartine,
which, by the way, was anything but felicitous.

severity of the winter cold, we have had a succession of
gales from the we-t_south-west, frequently attended with
rain, almost unprecedented for their fury, rather in many
instances resembling the hurricanes of wanner latitudes
than the gales with which we are familiar here. Early
on Saturday morning, a most violent tempest set in from
the west_south_west, and west-north-west, which increased
to one of the heaviest gales, attended with sleet and rain,
ever experienced in this country. About nine o'clock,
while the wind blew in awful gusts, several flashes of
vivid lightning were seen, followed by one or two loud
peals of thunder ; a very unusual occurence at this season,
and which added greatly to the awfulness of the scene.—

REBELLION AOAINST O'CONNELL.
(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
"TO THE LIMERICK CILA PICER 07

Lough O'Connell, Jan. 16, 1834..

" Brothers—The teVroeration of Ireland demands that
there should not only be union alltor-g the popular party,
hut that there should be one directing mind RID the centre
of that union. •
" There is bsit Gni Man in existence fit to be the leader
of Ireland ; to name bins is tinneetssary—it is he of whom
I said in one of my speeches, read in the House of Lords
during the discussion on the Coercion Bill'. ;lot 'if he
were to order me fur the old of Ireland to' stand opost a,
mine which was to be sprung, I would obey the order
and await the explosion.:-T.
" A circumstance relating to a matter purely of private'
feeling, and altogether unconnected with politics, has,
however, recently oecnrred, which clistrained nae fir-
,nally to withdraw from correspondence with—O'Connell,
by notifying to bins in a letter, Oritten in terms decitve,
but at the same time well considered, and elabofstely
respectful, that I might take care not to change positions
with him and put myself in the wrong, that without being
uilty of degrading private subserviency, unless his con-
duct to me was satisfactorily accounted for, I could not
write to him again.
" I will not call his reply an aggravation; it is Suffi-
cient for my purpose to say it was ' not satisfactory.'
" I therefore, of course, withdraw from Irish politics,
and return to my course of peaceful study. I withdraw
altogether, as, after what has occurred, I would not act
under O'Connell, and 1 assuredly will not act among his
opponents. It never shall be branded on coy name, that
in consequence of a mere porsonal wrong I became an
element of discord in Ireland.

" Who knows better than I do, that discord among
Irishmen has ever been the scathing curse of Ireland ?
" I have said that my letters to O'Connell were well
considered and elaborately re-pectful, that I might not put
myself in the wrong'—indeed I made an exception in his
favour, which I would not nor ought not to have made
for any other man but my leader.
" I now reign into the hands of O'Connell, as Grand
Master of the Order, the Presidentship of the Limerick
Chapter of Liberators, and at the same time most respect-
fully withdraw from the Order altogether.
" I withdraw altogether, because my remaining a
member would impose on me a high degree of moral and
political subordination to that great man, which I am little
(disposed to concede. Ino longer, of course, think as
highly of him as I did before; but were I to cease to ac-
knowledge that he is the first statesman of the age, al-
though from private feeling, in order to preserve myself
respect, I cease to be his acquaintance, would be to expose
myself to the justly merited derision of the world.
" Farewell—l part from you with feelings of deep
affection and gratitude; I am no longer of your order, as
designated by external symbols, nor shall I ever again
preside among you, sitting upon the treaty stone, with an
Irish harp, enwreathed with shamrocks, suspended over
my head; but I am still, and you well know I will re-
main, your brother Irish Liberator in the depths—in the
abysses of my soul.—Farewell.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 20.
THE KING V. R. BARRETT, ESQ•, OF THE PILOT

Upon the CHIEF JUSTICE coming into the Court, the
ATTORNEY- GENERAL said he was there to pray for judg-
ment in the case of the King against Barrett.
Mr. Barrett was called upon his recognizance, and,
accompanied by his solicitor, he entered the Court.
The CHIEF JUSTICE asked if there was any affidavit
made in aggravation or ruotigation of punishment ?
Mr. Forde stated, the Jury having given an unanimous
recommendation to mercy, Mr. Barrett could not conceive
the Attorney-General would say anything to aggravate
the punishment, or do anything to lessen the effect of
that recommendation ; be, therefore, attended to receive
the judgment of the Court, and Without Counsel.
The ATTORNEY.GENERAL-As there is nothing offered
on the part of Richard Barrett in mitigation of punish-
ment, it is not my intention to make a single observation
in aggravation of punishment : but, as his attorney has
referred to the recommendation of the Jury, n ith which
their verdict was accompanied, 1 feel it to be my duty to
refer to the act of the Jury. I have now to state for your
Lordships' consideration, not, as I said before, for the pur-
pose of aggravating punishment, but in order that I may
keep matters right with respect to the recommendation of
the Jury. The Jury not having stated what was the
foundation for their opinion that the traverser ought to
be recommended to mercy, it did occur to me as pos.
Bible that they, perhaps, probably, ought to be
influenced by the consideration that Barrett was the
publisher and another person the author of this libel.
In consequnece of the opinion thus suggested to me, I
determined to act in this, as in all other cases, and upon
the same principle to Mr. Barrett which I acted upon
from the time that I have had the honour of holding
office. I have not only professed this, but I have acted
upon it. It never has been my wish—my intention has
been directly the reverse—to prosecute a second publisher
when I could reach a first ; and I have never prosecuted
a publisher when I bad the means of proceeding against
the author. Acting upon that principle in the case of
Mr. Barrett, as I have acted in others, I caused a notice
to be served upon Mr. Barrett. That notice was dated the
4th of January; and as it is now brought before the
Court by affidavit, I would call upon your Lordships to
have the officer read it. To this notice an answer, or
what purported to b.. an answer, was sent on the Bth of
January, and the Crown Solicitor replied to it upon the
9th of January. Now, I do not think it right to read
for your Lordships so much of the affidavit as that which
professes to contain Mr. Barrett's answer, and what re-
lates to the reply to it on the 9th of January, because Mr.
Barrett has said that he did not write the letter of the Sth.
It would then be quite unfair on my part to bring either
before the Court for any purpose whatever. I shall merely
bring before the Cam the lettet of the 4th of January,
and to which notice the Court will understand there has
no reply been given. The case is to be taken as if but one
notice was served.

(The Learned Gentleman then read the letter, which
has already appeared.)
Mr. Barrett—lt is, my Lords, only just to mention,
that the Jury offered to state their reasons for recommend-
ing me to mercy, and they were not permitted to do so by
the Court. The Jury are judges of both law and fact in
such a case as this, and it is only reasonable to infer when
they recommended me to mercy, that they did it on the
ground of the mitigated character of the libel itself. As
to the notice which has been referred to by the Attorney-
General, your Lordships will recollect that that was not
sent to me till after the publication bad been branded as a
libel, and that any one to be tried for the same publication
would be evidently prejudiced, almost prejudged, at his
trial. Under such circumstances, lam sure it ought not
to weigh against me.
The Judges here consulted together. In a few minutes
afterwards,

The CHIEF JUSTICE said—The traverser has just men-
tioned a circumstance on which there ought to be no mis-
understanding, and with respect to which be is under a
mistake. He says that the Jury unanimously recommended
him to mercy—he is perfectly right in saying that there
was that recommendation. He says, too, that the Jury
were anxious to give their reasons.
Mr. Barrett—That they offered to state their reasons.
CHIEF JUSTICE—That they offered to state their reasons,
and were prevented by the Court.
Mr. Barrett—Yes, my Lord.
CHIEF JUSTICE—In that you are under a mistake—you
are under a misrecollection or misconception of the fact.
What occurred was this when the jury unanimously re-
commended you to mercy, the Court, through me, asked
them their reason for that recommendation, and the fore-
man answered that they had different reasons,and, on their
so stating, the Court did not call for their different reasons.
Mr. Barrett—Your Lordship is perfect'y correct ; it
was only in a form of expression that I used that I was in
error.

The Judges then retired to their chamber, where they
remained about half an hour. Upon their return the fol-
lowing sentence was pronounced by Judge Jebb, who said,
Richard Barrett, you are to receive the judgment of the
Court for printing and publishing a certain false and sedi-
tious libel concerning the Act of Union, and concerning
that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain, and
coned' ning the Act passed in the third year of his Majesty's
reign ; and you are convicted of having published this libel
with the intention of creating disaffection amongst his Ma-
jesty's subjects in Ireland, and of exciting hatred and hosti-
lity between his Alajesty's subjects in England and Ireland,
and to cause it to be suspected and believed by the said
rat-mentioned subjects that the rights and interests of the
said last-mentioned subjects of the King in Ireland are
neglected or violated by the Legislature of Great Britain
and Ireland ; and that the said last-mentioned subjects are
oppressed and injured ; and further, the intention is im-
puted to you of stirring up the last_mentioned subjects to
violence, insubordination, and disobedience, to the laws

more effectual suppression of local disturbances in Ire-
land, and illegal associations in Ireland." The Jury
have convicted you of printing and publishing this libel.
nil with printing and publishing it with the several
intentions stated in the indictment, which I have now
read. The Court have had twice an opportunity of consi-
derin the matter of this publication, and they have so con-
.deretl, whether it would bear the interpretation which the
Jury have put upon it. They agree with the interpreta-
tion put upon it by the jury, and they consider that thnse
intentions attributed by the indictment to the publication
%ere properly so attributed. On the first occasion, on
, our trial, the Court abstained from pronouncing an opi-
nion which they had the power of doing. and they left it
evhe Jury to draw their own inference, with out ex-
preCing their opinion upon it. My Lord Chief Justica
intented himself with informing the jury that it was
dece-nary they., should be satisfied that the intentions its
üblishing and printing this libel were such as were stated
in the indictment, before they could find you guilty. Upon
the second occasion, when an application was made on
your behalf in arrest of judgment, one ground upon which
it was sought to sustain the application was this, that the
matter contained and written in this publication was not
in itself a libel. It was the duty of the Court to form an
,pinion upon the publication. The opinion they have
tarns to—and this without any doubt in any one' of
:be Court—is, that they conceived it to be a libellous
Jublication, and they conceived that .the intentions im-

shape of a letter addressed to the people of Ireland, and
published in the Pilot, a Dublin newspaper, of the ffth
of April last. After some passages, which I need not
now read, it says—" The manner in which the Anglesea
Algerine Bill was received by the British Legislature.—
Lite foolish as well as false allegations by which it was
supported—the enormous majorities by which it was
ultimately carried—the shouts of domination and triumph
by which the advocates of Irish liberty were insulted,
and the unsuppressed spirit of national hostility which
guided and animated our enemies, have taught me that it
is worse than folly to imagine that the affairs-of Ireland
can be attended to with the requisite knowledge of facts
and cordial sincerity of intention in any other than in an
Irish Parliament. I need not dwell on this point. I
cannot describe with anything like accuracy the extent of
the innate hatred of Ireland which I have witnessed in
many men since my last return to this country. They hate
us, and without avowing i', even to themselves they fear us.
We must have a domestic legislature, or we can never
Ire safe in our properties, our lives, or our liberties."

After some other matters, it goes on to say,—" The
Anglesea-Algerine Act—so muci, worse than the Welling-
n -Al ge rint

for ever those who bid us look to the juste and humanity
and hypocrisy of that description. There does ti.gt lie a

by for cant
knave so audacious as now to talk of the kindness and ca".re
of the British legislators for Ireland : and, if such a knave
exists, there breathes not a dolt so brutally stupid as to
give one moment's credence to his assertions." Those
passages which I have read amount in fact to his assertion
that the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which makes
laws for the government of all his Majesty's subjects,
is so infected with a national hatred against the people
of Ireland, that it is in vain for the people of Ireland to
ook for justice or humanity at their hands, and it must be
in vain for them, so long as they are governed by a Par-
liament of the United Kingdom, to expect to be secure in
their properties, their lives, or their liberties. And the
publication states that these evils from an Imperial Parlia-
ment arise from an innate hatred of the people of Eng-
land to the people of Ireland. Now, if this be
believed—if the impression which this assertion
is calculated to make, be made upon the minds
of the people of this country, it is perfectly plain that it
would be quire impossible that the laws could be sub-
witted to, in the manner that the laws ought to sub-
mitted to. It could not be otherwise, if it were believed+
that they afforded no security for life, liberty, or property,
The result must be this : if they people of this country
are satisfied that the laws are enacted in a spirit of hostility
against Ireland, that the Parliament enacts laws in dero-
gation of all principle, and in opposition to all notions of
humanity and justice, the consequence must be that the
laws would be held in deep hatred, and any cheerful et&
mission to the law never could be looked for from lbs_
people of this country. With regard to the law which
passed, and to which this publication refers—that for the
suppression of the disturbances which afflicted this coun-
try some time since—that is, the third of the King, and
which is spoken of in this publication as an Anglesea-
Algerine Act—by this term the publication has assimi-
lated the recent Act to the despotism of the most ferocious
powers known on the face of the earth—one of the
African barbarian powers. The effect of this it is un-
necessary for me to state. It was alleged on the part
of the publisher, it was alleged on your part, that though
this publication contains those passages I have read, it
yet contains a caution and a recommendation to the
people to be obedient to the law, and it warns them against
any breech of the law; and from this it was to be inferred
what was the design of the writer. It was said that it
could not be his intention to produce any violation of the
law—that it could not be his design that they would be
guilty of any breach of the law, when the people were
recommended by him to be obedient to it. But such an
assertion cannot be supported. We have had recent ex-
perience of the consequence of addresses of this kind, and
which followed their publication. We know that the
consequences were very different, and that such addresses
have had no such effect. We know that the advice to
obey the law in such an address, as I have stated, dial
not do away the mischief. We have had recent experience
of what was done by a publication which inculcated upon
the lower classes, and which impressed upon their mind
" to keep up an eternal hatred" to one species of property.
It was enforced in that address and recommended to them
to " cherish an eternal hatred" against that species of
property ; and though that was coupled with a recom-
mendation to violate no law, yet we know that the
former part of the address was remembered and the
latter part forgotten. The consequence of that was
tile ruin of countless individuals, the destruction of pro-
perty to an extent that cannot well be measured, and
the sacrifice of many innocent lives. To any one who
recollects all this, and who now hears me, it is unnecessary
for me to do more than to say, that such must be the con-
sequences naturally to be expected from such addresses as
that contained in the present publication,—the endeavour
to impress upon the minds of the people of this country a
belief that the inhabitants of the sister country have an
innate hatred of the people of this country, and that the
Members of Parliament are infused with the same spirit, so
much so that humanity and justice are forgotten by them,
and that the lives, liberties, and properties of the people of
this country cannot be safe ! Similar consequences are to
be expected from the publication of doctrines of this kind,
as similar consequences have followed from the publication
of doctrines of another kind, we have too much reason to
apprehend. The Jury have thought fit to recommend
you to the mercy of the Court—the Court has con-
sidered what that ground might be. The only ground—
that is, the only probable ground—is, that you are the
publisher, and not the writer, of the libel. That is au ex.
cuse to which Courts of Justice have not been in the habit
of attending ; at the same time it must be admitted that
the crime of the mere publisher is not equal in point of de-
gree of criminality with that of the fabricator of the libel.
But when the arm of justice cannot reach the fabricator,and
when the publisher will not furnish the means to make the
fabricator amenable to justice, the ends of justice can only
be attained by punishing the disseminator of the mischief,
as the only person within the reach of the Court. Still
the Court has considered and weighed all the circumstances
of the case and the recommendation of the Jury, an l I do
believe that every one who hears me and is dispassion ,te, and
has an unbiassed mind, considering the nature of this libel,
and the effect it was calculated to produce, will think that
puni,hroent bere is tempered with mercy. The judgment
of the Court is, that you be imprisoned six months in the
gaol of Newgate, tbat you pay a fine of 1001. to the King,
and be further imprisoned until such fine is paid; and that
you give security to keep the peace for seven years, yourself
in 5001., and two sureties in 2501.

At the suggestion of Mr. Furde, the plane of Mr. Bar-
rett's incarceration was changed to Kihnainham.
Mr. Barrett was, in a few minutes after, removed in
the custody of the county Sheriff.

tack of the Republican armies, he wigevehtually
and signally defeated, three-fourths of !
provided soldiers having perished in one cam
paign. In 1805 with Austria, and in 1806 with
what remained of the Prussian armies, to assist
her, Russia never could stand before the troops
of France , and within her own territory, in
1812, she was beaten in every action, until f'
force of her invader sunk under the adverse
elements. At sea the power of the Russian
empire is little more formidable than that of
Turkey herself. Why, then, should France and
England dread to encounter her in defence of
the freedom and safety of Europe ? A journal
some days ago put forth an article of singularly
puny and inefficient fabric, in a spirit of doleful
dandyism, to apologise for the non-interference
of France in behalf of the Poles during their last
virtuous but disastrous effort to restore their na-
tional liberties. The justification of France, and
by consequence of England, is made to rest on
the answer to two questions. 1. Would
Prussia have joined her arms to those of Russia ?
2. Would Austria have done the same ? And
as the paper replies in the affirmative to both
queries—ergo, France and England must be
considered blameless-7. e. d. Now, we affirm
in the broadest ❑canner that if France and Eng-
land had shown themselves determined to risk a
war for the release of Poland, no power but
Russia, already engaged, would have dared to
oppose them. What did Mr. Canning pro-
nounce seven years ago, long before France had
declared for constitutional liberty, and whilst
England yet stood its solitary and unaided
champion ? His fear, said Mr. Canning, was
not of the weakness, but of the resistless and
tremendous force with which this country would
be armed for the first war upon the Continent.
His conviction was, that under whatever name,
or on whatever immediate provocation, war
might be commenced, it would inevitably
and speedily take upon itself the form and
spirit of a war of opinion,--a war for civil
liberty on the part of nations, on that of despotic
rulers for the maintenance ofarbitrary power. What,
then, did the acute and penetrating mind of Mr.
Canning foresee to be the issue of such a con-
flict ? Did he dread the military governments ?
Was it not the certainty, the completeness, and
the possible results of their violent overthrow,
which alone induced him to hesitate ? And is
the principle of representative government less
predominant now than when Mr. Canning spoke?
Has the growth of liberty been less vigorous ?
Is the accession of all France to England
nothing ? Why should these two free countries
but shake their flags before the eyes of the mi-
litary monarchies, the whole musket-ridden con-
tinent would on the in'tant raise the people's
standard of defiance to arbitrary power. Even
confining ourselves to the case of Poland, let us
ask, would Prussia, with the Rhenish provinces
hanging to her by so slight a ligament, and with
her whole Baltic commerce at our mercy, would
Prussia have dared to move but one single re-
giment to a battle with the united force of France
and of this country ? Still less would Austria dare
to exchange a volley. Italy is at this moment
in the slips, and waits but a signal from the
summit of St. Bernard to burst from the hands
of her tormentors. The Hungarians were with
extreme difficulty, as is well known, restrained
from joining their fierce and gallant bands to
those of Poland in the year 1831, and were
kept in the mere show of obedience to Austria
by no other means than the (reluctant) mode-
ration and forbearance of the latter Government
towards that insurgent people. Would Austria
and Prussia have stirred therefore ? Not they,
not an inch : if they had, their thrones were not
worth a twelvemonth's purchase. But as to
Turkey. Is that vast and fertile country—is
the command of the Mediterranean commerce,
to be sacrificed by France and England to the
will of Russia ? For w hat ?—for fear that she
might seize them both in spite of us! Why
then, if that be the worst that could happen
after fighting, and that by fighting we have the
only chance to prevent it, was there ever a
course so stupid, so dastardly, so contemptible,
as that of unresisting submission ? We are
subdued and trampled on with our eyes open,
and with grounded arms.—Times.
The liberality which Whig patriots really
cherish towards the Press is exemplified by the
conduct of Lord Durham, who still pursues
criminally a country Newspaper for a ridiculous
paragraph, of which it gave subsequently, by
way of reparation, a positive and complete Con-
tradiction ; but it seems no atonement can satisfy
this patriot but a penal one, as if the vindication
of character was not as satisfactorily attained by
a retraction of the offensive statement through
`le same channel which originally circulated it

An anti-tithe meeting was held at Liskeard,
in Cornwall, on Thursday, the 16th inst., when
a petition was agreed upon for the abolition of
tithes, as "being oppressive in their nature and
unjust in their exaction." The most striking
occurrence of the day was the perusal of a letter
from Mr. Charles Buller, M.P. for the borough,
but prevented by business from leaving London,
explanatory of his sentiments on the tithe ques-
tion, and no less explicit on that of the corn
laws. It is, we trust, quite needless for this
journal to repeat the conviction, which it has so
frequently and emphatically expressed, that it
would be impossible for any Government to
continue the tithe system against the universal
unanimous feeling of the country, and that were
such an object attainable, it would still be most
iniquitous, in the teeth of those pledges which
have been offered through Parliament to the
nation. The people of England, generally, are
not so reluctant to pay the amount of income
lawfully demandable by the clergy, as to con-
tribute it under a form which has been made
the cover for such infinite vexation to the tithe
payer, which amounts, in fact, to a penalty upon
the cultivator of the soil for the outlay of his
capital with a view to its improvement, and has
by necessary conseqttence impeded or greatly en-
feebled and retarded the increase of agricul-
tural produce, that produce itself being rendered
so much more difficult of access to the consumer
by the stupid and insufferable tax upon im-
ported corn. Let us never then, in arguing
uron these closely related questions, the tithe
law and the corn law, forget that the first is a
direct discouragement to the active culture of
the soil, whilst the second professes to indemnify
the agriculturists for that injury, by half starving 1
the rest of the nation. That tithe must be
commuted, therefore, no man in his senses can
doubt. The method of commutation may be a
fit subject of inquiry, or rather may have been
so, for it is presumed that from the period
which has elapsed since the Ministerial pledge
on this important subject was promulgated, the
principle of the measure has ere now been
thoroughly sifted, and the plan of it prepared
and completed ; that so the occasional error of
a preceding session may be henceforth shunned,
and Ministers, by a perfect understanding of the
•
remedy which they themselves propose for an
evil which they have long ago admitted, may be
enabled to justify it to themselves and others,
and be under no necessity of substituting for it
the crude and unconsidered suggestions whether
of friends or enemies. Mr. Buller's letter above
referred to is in our judgment, that of a frank,
uncompromising, and clear-headed Member
of Parliament, and of an honest man resolved
to do his duty. - The Hon. Gentleman, though
well aware of the opposite views entertained by
the landholders of the West of England with
regard to the scale by which a tithe commuta-
tion ought to he regulated, states broadly the
injustice of assigning to the incumbent but one
tenth of the average rent of land, when he is by
the letter of the law entitled to a full tenth of the
produce. The rent being taken by Mr. Buller
at one third of the produce (and that we have
reason to believe an exaggerated average), lie
asks whether it be fair or upright to give the
Church but a tenth of one third instead of a
tenth of the whole—or, in other words, a
thirtieth instead of a tenth of the gross produce.
We have in former articles remarked that the
revenues allotted to the whole body of the clergy
were not often complained of by well-informed
persons as exorbitant ; at the same time, it is
undt*rstood sufficiently that the full tenth allowed
by law never has been, indeed never could have
been, exacted. The rational scheme would,
therefore, be to calculate ji-)e amount which, in
practice, has been received by the Church and
by the lay impropriators, and settle the commu-
tation for both by the same rule, inasmuch as
we cannot perceive why any one right or inci-
dent of property should be violated in the one
case of tithe, and in the other held sacred. Above
all, it must be obvious to the mind of every
man, that a diminution of the fund set apart for
the parochial clergy, that the difference might
be pocketed by the squires—those squires to
whom we owe the Game Laws, the Corn Laws,
and the utter corruption of the Poor Laws—
would be, of all the arrangements in this world,
the most preposterous, iniquitous, and odious.
This point is pint with great force and perspi-
cuity by Mr. Buller, with regard to the corn
laws, which are dwelt upon in his letter at
considerable length, and in a strain of reasoning
with which we generally coincide, although the
Honourable Gentleman appears more tolerant
of the medics terminus of a fixed duty on
foreign corn, than we should expect of one who
felt the bearing of the main—the two-fold (and
to us incontrovertible) argument against the
existing tax on corn—viz., the impolicy and
injustice of any tax whatever. The peculiar.
grievance of the present impost may be that it
is uncertain, deceitful, and ill framed, even for
its ostensible purpose ; but as to a " fixed"
duty, it is neither more nor less titan a fixed
evil—a fixed discouragement of manufacture—
a fixed robbery of the consumer by the pro-
ducer—a fixed bounty upon foreign industry,
to the detriment of British--a fixed aggravation
of the burden of the poor laws—a fixed mono-
poly of subsistence against the hungry multitude.
Sir William Molesworth delivered an argumen-
tative speech against the continuance of tithe,
and against the spoliation of existing interests ;
but the Honourable Baronet expressed some
sentiments adverse to the support of an Esta-
blished Church by other than merely its own
communicants, in which we at least cannot con-
cur.—Tames.
The irresolute and feeble policy disclosed of
late by the French Ministers sin-what relates to
the general condition of Europe, shared, as we
fear, by some of our influential people, leaves
us without any reasonable prospect that a check
will be opposed to the aggressions of the Court
of St. Petersburgh, in time to save the Turkish
empire from her grasp, or the so-called balance
of power in the East from its final overthrow
and ruin. We have already said that the force
of Russia, when exhibited otherwise than in
self-defence, had been utterly unreal and imagi-
nary, until it was created by the improvidence of
other Powers in looking tamely at her successive
• encroachments on neighbouring and defenceless
States, and improved by the slow but undisturbed
consolidation of her conquests. We repeat, that
she has never yet dared to grapple hand to hand
with any great European Power beyond the limits
of her own inhospitable soil, save only when
supported by some strong alliance. In the seven
years' war she leagued herself with France and
Austria against the then secondary state of Prus-
sia, under Frederick, and was, on the whole,
:- with such immense advantages in her favour,
I''': lime frequently beaten than victorious. Even
C.- . when Buwatraw had Austria to divide the at-

as by any punishment. It cannot be said with
any truth that Lord Durham now continues to
proceed against the Durham Advertiser for the
purpose of disproving the truth of the charge
made against him by the verdict of a Jury. The
rule for filing a criminal information has been
made absolute, and after that is done there can
be no further inquiry as to the truth or false-
hood by the Jury. No evidence need be
offered by the prosecutor to disprove its truth,
—no evidence can be offered by the defendant,
even if the charge were true, to prove its truth.
The only question for the Jury will be, the
fact of publication, and whether the publica-
tion, without any reference to its truth or false-
hood, is a libel. The prosecutor has already
denied the charge by affidavit—the defendant
has, in his paper, admitted the charge to be un-
founded,—why then does a " Liberal," under
these circumstances, prosecute the Press? Is it
to afford an additional proof of the generosity
and indulgence with which the Whigs view that
organ of opinion to which they are indebted for
their power, and the freedom of which they have
not sparingly exercised in their remarks upon
their political opponents? The Durham Ad-
vertiser says—" After the Noble Earl's positive
contradiction of our paragraph, we are bound to
believe it is not true, and we must, therefore,
express our regret that it should ever have been
received into our columns, our anxious desire
being to exclude from them every statement
which is not based in truth." Yet this is said
not to be a positive contradiction. If it be not,
we know not what is. The Editor expresses
his belief that he had been led into error by a
correspondent in whose statement he reposed
confidence, but, upon the assertion of the Noble
Lord himself, he says he is bound to believe the
paragraph not to be true. This we should have
thought rather complimentary to the veracity
of the Noble Lord, as his otvn denial of
the charge is taken as equivalent to all other
evidence. But really a man is not fit for public
life who appears to, be so irritable and thin-
skinned, and so prone to pit his dignity against
silly paragraphs, as Lord Durham has shown
himself to be. What greatness of mind in an
English Statesman does this not display ? And
a Statesman, too, who has sought popularity by

something like ultra-Liberalism of sentiment. A
genuine Statesman—a patriot of high-mi
integrity would smile at the idea of having his
peace of mind disturbed by such nonsense. Let
this ultra-Liberal take example of the Duke of
Newcastle, who has been libelled a thousandfold
more than be has been, and has not resorted to
the technical justice of a Court of Law for the
vindication of his character. As to the conduct
of the editor of the Standard, in offering him-
self to his Lordship's wrath, it is deserving of
the highest praise : it gives to the Press a
triumph of moral courage and moral worth which
the British public will not fail to appreciate.
As to Lord Durham, we think he should be
better employed in giving the public an explicit
narrative of that expensive embassy to the Auto-
crat of Russia, which is yet involved in so much
obscurity, than in prosecuting newspapers for
that silly trash which has called down his indig.-
nation. England, it must be confessed, never
stood more in need of high-minded Statesmen
than she does at present—men capable of disre•
garding the little considerations of self in ;
generous anxiety for the salvation of their coun,
try.—Morning Herald.
The Times of yesterday pays the subordi•
nates in office the compliment of saying that
they are all Tories—or, in other words, that
they are gentlemen ; from this naturally enough
infers that they are unfit to serve under their
present superiors, and recommends that they
should all, without exception, be dismissed.
Let the Times be content. The gentlemen in
office would have been turned out long ago, had
not the Whig Ministers been painfully conscious
that they cannot carry on the business of the
country without their assistance. That a large
proportion of official men rejoice, -and do not
conceal their joy, on any prospect of the present
Administration being out, proves only their
patriotism and their frankness. But the asser-
tion of the Times, that they make any distinc-
tion between Whigs and Tories, who have
business to transact in their respective offices,
is, of course, a mere effusion of impotent ma-
lice, goaded to desperation by the repeated and
intolerable mortifications which, within the last
few days, the Whig Ministers and their favoured
Journal have brought upon themselves,- and
upon each other.—Morning Post.

We give insertion elsewhere to two articles
which, we doubt no!, will he read with interest,
and which assuredly paint in no very flattering
colours the character of the Agitator, who, for
years past, has been drawing an enormous rent
from the poor people of Ireland, for no other appa-
rent service done or rendered than that of having
kept them in a state of perpetual ferment. The
first is a letter from " Thomas Steele," who
now signs himself; " A Member of the Glorious
Birmingham Political Union," but who is better
known, both here and in Ireland, as a member
of the Irish " Order of Liberators." This
doughty champion does not declare war against
the leader under whose banners he had formerly
enrolled himself ; but when it is remembered of
him that he said on a former occasion that "there
is but one man in existence fit to be the leader
of Ireland : to name him is unnecessary—it
is he of whom I said in one of my speeches,
read in the House of Lords during the discus-
sion on the Coercion Bill, that cif he were to
order me, for the good of Ireland, to stand upon
a mine which was to be sprung, I would obey
the order, and await the explosion'"—it may,
we say, be fairly enough asserted that no ordinary
cause could have occasioned such a change in
the sentiments of so ardent an admirer of the
Agitator, and that, cceteris paribus, can be any
thing but honourable to that personage. What
that cause may, have been—whether it is that
Mr. O'Connell has been found to exhibit an
" itching palm" for office, or to display too
strong a desire " to wring from the hard hands
Of peasants the vile trash" which they can so
ill afford to part with—does not appear ; but
certain it would seem that the champion who,
if an order had been given by O'Connell " to
stand upon a mine which was to be sprung,
would have obeyed that order," is determined
no longer to preside over the Limerick Li-
berators, " sitting upon the treaty stone with an
Irish harp suspended over his head !" When
a house is divided against itself—but the saying
is too well known to require repetition. The
second point of Irish intelligence to which we
alluded, is the sentence passed upon Barrett,
the publisher of an Irish newspaper, and in
which newspaper a most seditious letter, signed
" Daniel O'Connell," and which had previously
appeared, we believe, in several English journals,
was inserted. That the said lever was not only
most libellous, but most seditious, there can be
as little doubt as that the publication of it sub=
jetted the party who gave it circulation to all the
pains and penalties which a Jury and Judge
might award for such an infraction of the law ;
but it was hoped foolishly hoped that
the author of the letter would come for-
ward and boldly avow the writing and
transmission of it, rather than that the
comparatively innocent publisher should suffer
for his indiscretion. The Government, however,
waited i►► vain—the author of the letter shrunk
from the responsibility from which his pub-
lisher could not, with editorial honour, retire—
and the consequence has been that Barrett,
after a most fair trial, and most just conviction,
has been sentenced to reside within the priso❑
of Kilmainham gaol for the next six months—
(Daniel O'Connell remaining very comfortably
without, and living upon the " rint")—to pay
a fine of 1001. to the King—to. be further im-
prisoned till such fine be paid—and, finally, to
give security to keep the peace for seven years,
himself in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each.
Such are the fruits of agitation, and of placing
reliance on the honour of those who have not
enough of the commodity to save their own
characters from disgrace. The sentence will be
deemed by some to be severe ; but double the
amount would be a lenient punishment for the
author of the letter.—Morning Advertiser.

DIVISION OF PARlSHES.—Yesterday a
Vestry Meeting of the parish of Ealing was held at the
Cross-house, to consider the propriety of petitioning
Parliament to relieve the inhabitants of Ealing from cer-
tain rates and expenses peculiar to the town of Old
Brentford. The Rev. Sir H. Oakley, Bart., Vicar of
Ealing, took the chair. Colonel Simond moved the
adoption of the petition in question, and contended that
Ealing should not be obliged to support the poor of Brent-
ford, and pay for the lighting and paving of that district.
J. T. Hope, Esq., Mr. Round, Churchwarden, Mr. Bond,
Churchwarden, Mr. Rowe, Mr. Sleep, Solicitor, and Col.
Clitheroe, spoke against the petition, on the ground that
the separation of the parish from Ealing would be most
unjust. Several servants who had been in the employment
of farmers at Ealing were now in the Brentford poor-
house. Besides, property in Ealing would be unfairly
enhanced, at the expense of that in Brentford.—An
amendment moved by Mr. Round was carried unani-
mously. Colonel Sitnond said the Vestry was entirely
filled with parishioners of Old Brentford. The result of
the meeting was hailed with great rejoicings in the town,
and the church bells rang g merry peal.

MANSION- HO USE.
John Carter, an old fellow in the habit of levying
distresses for brokers, and Charlotte Watkin, a young
woman whom he seduced a few years ago, when she
was no more than fourteen years old, were brought
before the LORD MAYOR, charged with robh
The prisoners were remanded.
QUEEN-S QUARE.
JUVENILE VAGRANCY.—Yesterday four little
boys, named Thomas Savory, Edward Lennard,
Paul Quinn, and Edward Hill, apparently from
nine to twelve years of age, were brought betore
Mr. BURRELL, charged with sleeping in the open air.
A police constable of the B division on the pre-
vious night found all the boys sleeping in a shutter
box in James-street, Buckingham-gate; finding they
had no home he took them to the station-house.
Mr. BURRELL inquired whether any of the chil-
dren were known ?—The inspector said that the
eldest boy, Savory, had just come out of the House
of Correction, where he had been imprisoned six
months. Lennard had also been at the office before
on a charge of begging.
The boy Savory got his living by Sweeping the
crossings, but not having got halfperice.enough he
was afraid to go home to his mother.
Mr. BURRELL ordered Savory to be impriso:
three weeks in the House of Correction, Lennard
fourteen days, and the others ten days each.
The children all bowed to the Magistrate, ex-
claiming, " Thank you, Sir ; we are very much
obliged to you." They were then locked up.
Michael Langley and James Sankey, two boys
about ten or twelve years of age, who sleep in St.
Margaret's workhouse, and William Stone, the son
of. a poor woman who receives parish relief, were
placed at the b:tr before Mr. WHITE, charged with
stealing half a cottage loaf, valued at 24d., from the
shop of Mr. John Paragreen, baker, of No. .54,
Great Peter-street, 'Westminster.
Sarah King saw the boys lurking about the shop,
when Langley snatched up the half loaf, gave it to.
Sankey, who gave it to Stone, and they all ran away.
Mrs. Stone, the mother of the prisoner, had
applied to the overseers for some relief, and they
had refused her, although she was in great distress.
She would sooner have seen her child a corpse at
her feet than he should have been guilty of stealing.
The mother appeared dreg .fully affected, and
shed tears:as she viewed her cliAd in the dock.
The overseer had frequently .elieved Stone with
orders for bread and with money. Last week she
certainly sent her children to him for some relief,
and he refused them, desiring them at the same
time to send their tnother to him if she wanted any
thing, but she never came near.
Mr. Castall, the overseer, here produced a book to
show the amount of relief furnished to Mrs. Stone,
and added that a few months ago she applied fOr
some money to purchase a donkey, and 30s. were
given to her for that purpose ; but it was expended
in some other way ; at the same time he was willing
to admit that she was a hard-working, industrious
woman, and did everything she could for her family.
Mr. WHITE adjourned the case from the previous
day in order that the parish officers might be present.
He was quite satisfied with the explanation.
Mrs. Stone—lndeed, Sir, I wish my boy was
dead at my feet sooner than see him a thief.
Mr. WHITE believed her to be a very good mo-
ther to her child, but that was no reason why he
should thieve.
The boy Stone said' that h was he that took•the
half loaf, and not Langley, and they all pleaded
hunger as the cause.
The two boys Langley and Sankey said that they
were allowed to sleep in St. Margaret's workhouse.
Some bread was given them in the morning, and
they were then turned into the streets, until the
evening.
Mr. WHITE committed them all for trial, and the
parties were bound over to prosecute.
HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday Ann Shropshire, an elderly female,
was re-examined by Mr. ROGERS, charged by the
churchwardens of Islington parish with having stolen
a variety of bibles and prayer and hymn books from
Islington church, belonging to several respectable
famifies'and the parochial schools.
She was fully committed for trial on the above
charge, and she will be brought up again in a few
days to have other charges exhibited against her.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JAN. 22

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)

➢IINCHIN, CARTER, AND KELLY'S BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the commission
of bankruptcy issued against Andrew Minchin,
William Groves Carter, and Arthur Kelly, of Ports-
mouth, bankers, was held to-day, for the proof of
debts and the declaration of a final dividend. The
commission of bankruptcy against this firm was
issued on the 4th of September, 1819, and the
proceedings have been of a very complicated and
praiseworthy nature. The total number of cre-
ditors against the estate is between five and six
thousand, and the debts proved at the many meet-
ings previously held amount to 161,2931. Os. 7d.
The debts proved during the meeting of this day
were very small, not exceeding 52/. The total
amount of dividends already declared amount to
12s. 6d, in the pound.
Mr. Goldsmid, the official assignee, presented his
accounts, from which it appeared that, after deduct-
ing the necessary expenses since his appointment,
there remained a balance of 2,974/. 7s. sd. appli-
cable to a dividend; and Mr. Commissioner Evans
announced a final dividend of twopence in the
pound, to be payable in about a month.
There were not any proceedings to-day on the
private estates.

UNION-HALL.
On Tuesday night a poor ragged little boy, with-
out shoes or stockings, was brought up by a police-
man, agreeably to the directions he had received
from Mr. Wedgwood, who it appeared had fre-
quently observed him begging in the Clapham-road
at late hours. The boy was taken care of in the
station-house during the night, and yesterday morn-
ing he was brought before Mr. MURRAY, who sent
for his mother on the occasion, and the result of the
examination will exhibit the profligacy of her con-
duct towards him. The little boy stated his name
to be Riley, and that he lived with his parents in
Kent-street. He was nine years of age, and his
mother was in the habit of sending him out begging
every morning, and gave him strict injunctions be-
fore leaving home not to return back without bring-
ing a certain sum with him. He generally left home
about half-past nine, o'clock in the morning, and
sometimes did not return again until 11 o'clock at
night, as he was afraid to appear before his mother
if he did not happen to get the sum she expected.
Mr. Wedgwood had frequent seen the little
boy wandering along the Clapham-road as late as
eleven o'clock at night, begging of all who passed
him. He was certainly an object of compassion,
having scarcely clothes to cover him, and without
either shoes or stockings, during these wet and
chilly nights. The Magistrate having found him in
the road on the preceding night, directed a police-
man to take care of him for the night, and bring
him up here in the morning to see if something
could not be done in the case.

Mr. MURRAY having made the boy repeat what
he had previously stated in the presence of the
mother, she was then questioned on the subject,
and admitted that she sent her son out to beg, and
accounted for the circumstance by saying that they
were short of money at home. _

Mr. MURRAY—The poor boy has stated that you
are in the habit of beating him if he does not bring
home the sum of money you require each day, and
I believe his statement. What have you as a mo-
ther to say in answer to that ?

The mother said that it was untrue, and that she
only beat him occasionally when he stopped out
late. She added that she bad silt children, and that
her husband was in the hospital.
Mr. MURRAY asked her if she had applied for
parochial relief, instead of sending the boy into the
streets, and bringing him up to a life of beggary
and wretchedness P The reply was, that she had
not applied, upon which Mr. Murray said that he
should commit her for one month to the House of
Correction, arid in the meantime her children
should be taken better care of than she was willing
to bestow upon them.

It is rumoured that Marshal Gerard will
shortly make a tour to the strong towns of the North, and
will thence go to Brussels.
Last week two female servants of William
Jones,
Esq., Clytha, on retiring to rest, imprudently left
a brazier in which charcoal was burning for the purpose
of airing the rooms. One of the girls finding herself
unwell got up, but on attempting to walk to the door the
air which she inhaled so overpowered her that she fell
down, by which her forehead had a violent blow. She
was some time before she could make an alarm, when
another servant came to her assistance just in time to save
her life, as well as the life of the other girl, who was
althost suffocated in bed.—Hereford Times.

THREE HIGHWAYMEN DEFEATED.....A.
daring highway robbery has been attempted in the Potte-
ries since our last. The circumstances are these :_OA
Tuesday morning, Mr. Dawes, surgeon, of Stoke, a
powerful and spirited man, was returning home from
Lane End, between one and two o'clock, and when de-
scending the hi l near Fenton tollgate, he observed two
men standing together on the footpath ; these be passed,
and proceeding a little further overtook a third man, who,
without speaking, struck him across the face, knocked
him down, fell upon him, anti attempted to rifle his
breeches pockets. Mr. D. fell with one hand under him,
and with the other he held close the pocket in which was
money to the amount of sixteen or seventeen shillings, at
the same time crying out " Murder." The two men be
had passed then came to the assistance of the assailant,
who found he could not without help hold Mr. D. down,
and at the same time make his way to the cash. One of
tl e fellows put his left hand on Mr. D.'s mouth, to stifle
his cries, while the other two proceeded in the attempted
robbery. The odds were fearful—three against one, and
that one the undermost, are not to be triflingly thought
of. What was to be done? We have said that one of
the men put his hand on Mr. Dawes' mouth. Mr. D.
seized the fellow's forefinger between his teeth, and gave
it—not a nibble, nor a gentle squeezer, but a desperate
bite, which made him roar with pain. The fellow pulled
to extricate himself, but he was not to be let off easily ;
Mr. D. kept hold, and in a very few seconds amputated
the end of the finger. The wortby trio were panic-
stricken, and took to their heels, leaving behind them I
hat and stick, the former of which is identified as having
been stolen from Mr. Hollins, engineer, of Lane End.
Mr. D. immediately rose, and putting the finger end in
his pocket, pursued the rogues, with a view to their cap•
ture, but they got over a gate and escaped. Mr. Dawes
then gave information to Mr. W. C. Davis, head constable
of Stoke, who promptly went in quest of the thieves, and, in
company with Mr. B. Harding, constable of Lane End,
sac( eeded i❑ apprehending two of them early the same day,
at the Eagle Inn, in the latter town. They are cousins,
and their names are George and Charles Evans. One of
iliem is the fellow who was so judiciously marked on the
finder by Mr. Dawes, and indeed this led to their detection.
When first questioned as to what was the matter with his
finger, be said he had hurt it in a coal-pit; afterwards
that it had got injured in a scuffle; and a subsequent
statement was, that in attempting to cut the gristly part
of a leg of mutton the night before, the knife slipped and
cut off his finger end. The production of the missing I
portion, howover, disproved all these tales, besides which,
Mr. Dawes could swear positively to the man. They
were taken before R. Bourne, Esq., where they behaved
with the most callous indifference, but were committed
for trial. Mr. Davis, the constable, has put the finger
end in a bottle of spirits for preservation, as evidence at
the trial ; and such is the curiosity that scores, we might
almost say hundreds, have been to see it.—Staffordshirc
Mercury.
