FRENCH PAPERS OF MO,ONY.

(From the Journal des Detects.)
We have received through the journals of Bordeaux the 1
declaration of General Llander. We publish it, thoub
we are not able to guarantee its authenticity :

" B acelona, Dec. 26.

" Senora,—The fidelity due to a Sovereign, and the
love of my country, have never ceased to inspire me in all
the vicissitudes of my career ; and in the various secondary
posts I have filled, my responsibility has always been de-
pendent on that of those chiefs who had me under their
orders ; but, called to occupy a higher post, I think my
duty is changed, and in order to comprehend all the extent
of the new responsibility which rests on me, I need only
call to my recollection the approbation which I have re-
•eived from the Government for my foresight and my zeal,
when I took upon myself the execution of the measures
which, for several months, I was forbidden to adopt, and
which measures were made subjects of attack against me
to my Sovereign, and that at the very moment when the
then President of the Council, the Duke de Baylen, gave
me to understand that my foresight and formal resolution
not to follow the orders which T received from the
Ministry had saved this province, and secured the cause of
Isabella 11.

" It was thus that in the superior command of the in-
fantry I showed, in the midst of the most difficult cir-
cumstances, a foresight and a perseverance, the results of
which can only be appreciated by the services which the
admirable and valiant infantry have performed on critial
occasion•, and which at this very moment again defends
with a courage and discipline which all the nation
acknowledges, the still unconsolidated throne of our inno-
cent Queen Isabella 11.

" During a long time Viceroy of Navarre, and Captain•
General of the Basque provinces, I was in a situation to
appreciate all that the public and the Government con•
sider for the general good and public stability in a legal
system of representation, such as our ancient laws esta-
blished, with an equal respect for the rights of the throne
and the rights of the nation,—the only element of pros-
perity and strength for a monarchy,—above all, in the
actual state of knowledge and of civilization. Since then,
as Captain-General of Arragon, and now of Catalonia, I
could easily perceive that where the Welfare and security
of the provinces depend on circumstances, and where it is
often necessary to have recourse to the armed force, such
a state of things cannot be durable, when public opinion
ceases to support it.
4, When I bad the honour to be called to kiss the hand
of your august daughter, your Majesty designed to accord
me the permission of writing freely that which I might
consider good and useful, assuring me several times that
all your desires and efforts tended to but one object-. the
happiness of Spain. I replied to this permission of your
Majesty by addressing to you all I thought susceptible of
enlightening your conscience. But continued and re-
peated proofs have caused me to perceive that the frank
and heroic sentiments of your Majesty are repressed by
the counsels of some men, who, in studying arbitrary
governments in foreign countries, have forgotten their own
—forgotten the wants and the wishes of their country—
have forgotten all that could secure the well-being of the
administration you have confided to them, and thus betray
the generous views of your Majesty.
" Such, Senora, is the general opinion of which I ought
not to allow your Majesty to be ignorant. I ought, on
the contrary, to add, in the interest of your government,
that the Ministry of Zea has arrived at such a point of
unpopularity that its continuance menaces public ti an.
quillity, and even the throne of Donna Isabella 11.
" Civil war is afflicting Spain ; Spaniards are armed
against Spaniards, and the Ministers, not contented with
not having known how to spare this disaster to all the
country, seem to regret still further that it has nut reached
this province ; and their untimely decrees upon the altera-
tion of the ayuntamientos, which only reckoned eight or
tea months' existence, and other decrees proceeding as well
from the Ministry of the Interior as the other departments,
permit them to be accused of a conspiracy against the
tranquillity which this province is enjoying amidst so many
convulsions, and against your Majesty, who is compromised
with all the nation in this struggle as it were to snatch
from your subjects the very hope of a happier future, and
one more just than the past, which they hove supported for
so many years, notwithstanding the heroic sacrifices which
this loyal nation, worthy of a better fate, made for an im-
prisoned King, for an abdicated crown, and for its inde-
pendence, its religion, its laws, its privileges, and the im-
mense renewed efforts of our day, with a heroism and a
generosity which placed their trust in that dawn which
was made to shine forth by the first acts of your Majesty's
Government.

" The Spanish nation forget that the late King, to annul
all the nation had done in its struggle, and to oblige it to
place itself under his sceptre, after having gained her own
conquest without a King, betrayed as she had been, and
delivered up to a foreign Power to please a Minister—the
nation, I say, cannot forget that the late King promised
her solemnly by his ordinance of the 4th of May, 1823,
that the Spaniards should not be deceived in their expec-
tations; that be detested a despotism which the light and
civilization of the age no longer permitted ; that in order
to hinder the caprices of the rulers from overthrowing
again, or betraying the throne, he had decided to maintain
alike, on the one side, the dignity and prerogatives of the
Crown, and on the other, the rights of the people, which
are equally inviolable ; to consult the procurators of Spain
and of America, and to assemble the Cortes in the fcrin
and i❑ the same manner in which his ancestors had done
before him ; that at the same time that the Royal inviola-
bility would be firmly assured by laws which should gua-
rantee order and public tranquillity, guarantees should he
given for the good administration of the taxes, which cost
so much toil and trouble to the contributaries, and that
those taxes should no longer be arbitrarily fixed by a mi-
nister, but regulated and discussed in general Cortes of
the kingdom ; that these same Cortes should make and
promulgate the laws which should establish the rights of
Spain ; and, lastly, that all the nation should see he did
not wish to be a despot and a tyrant, but indeed the King
and father of the Spaniards.
" The promises of Kings are sacred, Madam ; their
accomplishment ought to be infallible, like that of the
prophesies of divinity. This is why I and the nation, who
will ❑ot attempt to demand anything which is not due,
and has not been promised to us, do recall to your mind,
with hearts full of bitterness, such solemn declarations,
which came from the mouth of our King at the 'moment
he was receiving, irons our hands, a crown reconquered
by the blood of a million of men.

" The will of the deceased King, which is revered by
the nation, has proclaimed Donna Isabella 11. Queen ; but
where neither King Ferdinand has abolished the decree of
1814, nor the nation renounced the rights which for her
are the results of that decree, and the very principle of
which is so closely connected with the very rights of the
Queen minor, who could have dared, without being mad,
to advise your Majesty to follow the steps you have been
walking in up to the present day, and what responsibility
does not weigh upon the perfidious counsellors who have
given room to distinguished writers in Europe, to Mar.
tignac and others, to consign to history this failing of a
Royal and sacred promise?
" The existence of the throne of the Queen minor is, I
repeat, bound up with the accomplishing of the promises of
the late King ; for no one will be able to think that 15
long years of minority can pass on, resting upon anything
so frail as a power without responsibility ; we, in particular,
who have before us the shameful treaty of 1808, and the
diabolical intrigue of La Granga in 1832. And what
happens this very day, and all that has happened for 25
years past, ought to convince your Majesty that, if there
are now its Spain fanatics and malcontents of every opinion
(as happens in all classes and in all countries), it is in the
immense majority of the nation, with the knowledge she
has received from circumstances, that the surest support of
the throne of your royal daughter is to be found, whom
just and sage laws will soon deliver from the attacks of
usurpation. It is because these laws have failed, and that
the state of things has been disacKnowledged, as well as
the wants of the different populations, that the nation
has bad to traverse this long period of disasters and ca-
lamities.

" Your Majesty has been told that you have not, as
Regent, the right to innovate, and that you ought to
transmit to your daughter the government such as you
received it; but that is only a pretext to consecrate at bi_
trary power and to perpetuate abuses.
" But can they call innovation the convocation of
Cortes, when the gravity and the complication of public
athirs call imperiously for this measure, which is pre-
scribed fundamentally by the ancient laws of the monarchy ?
To those who would dare to speak thus to your Majesty
the people will answer, that when the question was
agitated of the sole interest of your august daughter, the
convocation of the Cortes was not regarded as aninnova-
tion, but as an act in perfect conformity with the funda-
mental law.

" Is it not an incontestable truth, Madam, that Spain
is in want of an uniform legislation, and presents a mon-
strous ensemble, by the discord of the parties which com-
pose her? do not all the branches of the administration
want an unity of action, which can alone be produced by
capable men, but which will always be wanting, so long as
the law which is promulgated one day can be revoked the
next, at the will of ministerial intrigues?

The conclusion of the document, whic:.' we are compelled t

in the conviction of the urgency of the circumstances,
that he proposes the means which appear to him the most

" I conclude with giving to your Majesty the mesa
sincere assurance of my resolution to preserve this pro-
vince, which is confided to me, in the fidelity which it
owes to our innocent sovereign Donna Isabella II , whose
life and happiness God preserve, &c., as I wish most sin-

THE UNKNOWN TONGUE.---(From the
Chtlinsfurd Chronicle.)—lt is our painful duty to record
an extraordinary instance of religious extravagance. One
evening last week a meeting of the brethren and sisters of
" the Church of the New Lights," in the parish of Chelms-
ford, took place for the purpose of considoring the slight
progress which the Church made in numbers. As soon
as they had met, the female " angel," „ she is coiled, set
up a horrid scream, declaring that unbelievers wet,: the
room. One of the brethren hereupon, it is said, put I'is
hands into his pocket and walked off. The next step was'
to discover what sin it was which prevented the increase
of the Church. After a great deal of manoeuvring it was
found that one of the brethren was making love to two of
the sisters at the same time. The angel said the sin must
be put away ; and she spoke, in an unknown tongue, eja-
culating " Zoro, z iro ! toro, toro !" till the house rang
with the sounds. During this extraordinary exhibition
there was great sobbing and weeping among the sister-
hood ; and the excitement at last became so great, and the
noises so unearthly, that they gave the whole assembly a
sybiline appearance. The thing ended, we understand, in
the female angel forbidding the erring brother to marry
one of the sisters. Several other meetings took place, at
one of which the Lord's Supper was administered in a
new way. We cannot but express our sincere regret that
respectable young females should be found in sub
associa-
tions.

A GIIOST.—The neighbourhood of Wins-
ford, near Middlewich, has, for the last three years, been
disturbed by an apparition of rather a strange character,
which in that part of the country is termed by the country
folk " a Boggart." This apparition appeared in the shape
of a naked man, generally at dusk, on the roads adjacent
to Winsford, especially at those places where unmarried.
females generally passed, sometimes three or four months
intervening between the appearances of this much dreaded
" boggart." At length the terror created by his appear-
ance so much scared the female part of the community,
that they dared not to venture out of doors after dusk, and
the alarm created amongst the people, induced a highly
respectable gentleman, named Dudley, resident in the
neighbourhood, to offer a reward of 101. to any person
who would give such information as would lead to the
detection of the imposter, for such certainly he deemed
the ghost to he. On Saturday night, the 4th inst., be-
tween the hours of 11 and 12, a female servant at a beer
house was washing the floor, in order to have the house
clean against Sunday morning. All the family but herself
were in bed, when she heard a gentle tapping at the win-
dow. There being no shutters, she lifted up her head,
and to her terror and amazement there beheld the much
dreaded " boggart," standing before the window. The
terrified girl uttered a scream, and fell insensible on the
floor. The noise awoke the master, who thought some
person had been attempting to enter the house, and im-
mediately rising he ra❑ through the back door to the front
of the house, where he came in contact with the appari-
tion, but being in no way daunted by his gbostsbip he
seized him, when he said he had merely come for a glass
of ale. The individual who bad been behaving in this
disgusting and extraordinary manner, turns out to be a
member of the Primitive Wesleyan Chapel in Winsford,
and named George Barlow. Of course he was brought
before the Magistrates, who regretted the law did not
empower them to punish him further than by sending him
to tile treadmill for three months. He is now undergoing
that punishment at the Knutsford House of Correction.—
Macclesfield Herald.

SHOCKING DEMORALIZATION.-At the
Bradford Petty Sessions, on Wednesday last, James
Blakeley, an overlooker in the mill of Messrs. Margerison
and Peekover, who has a wife and farni'y, was charged
with having committed a rape upon Sarah Hutchinson, a
little girl who worked in the same room that prisoner
superintended. During the course of the investigation it
transpired that the poor creature was pregnant. The
conduct of Blakeley excited the greatest disgust in the
Bench and spectators, as the girl, from her wan appear-
ance and diminutive size, did not appear to be more than
ten or eleven years of age, though she was, in fact, he-
tween fourteen and fifteen. The charge of rape could
not be substantiated, though it was admitted by the pri-
soner that he was the father of the child. The fellow,
after being severely reprimanded by the Bench, who ex-
pressed and
inhuman their utmost
conduct, was and
discharged. aisbhcqrrgeend. T
abhorrence of hhies
brutal
prisoner then made his exit amidst the hisses and
disapprobation of the audience, which neither the presence
of the Magistrates, nor the exertions of the peace-officers
were sufficient to suppress. When lie arrived at the top
of the steps leading from the Magistrates' room into the
yard, he had a more formidable tribunal to fasso than the
one which he had left—namely, the crowd, who would
have decided in a much more summary manner, ha-I he
not, with much agility, leapt from the top of the stairs
into the yard of the inn, whence he made his escape with
the greatest swiftness up the road leading to Halifax, in-
stead of going into the town. The mob was much din.
appointed by this, but a large number pursu-d him to a
considerable distance, with the loudest shouts and voci-
ferations. The little girl was removed by an order granted
by the Magistrates to Leeds, the place of her settlement.
It is due to Messrs. M. and P. to add, that they hive dis-
missed Blakeley from their employinent.—Leects Intel-
lifiencer.

SPIRIT OF. Tin!: PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Journal des Del arts, the Temps, and
some of the other Paris papers of Sunday, con-
tain the famous representation made to the
Queen Regent of Spain by the Captain-General
of Catalonia, copied from a Bordeaux paper of
a recent date. Though it has reached Paris by
this circuitous route, and though no Spanish
copy seems to have come into the hands of the
Parisian ,Journalists, there appears no reason to
doubt the authenticity of the document. It
hears on its face the stamp of a Spanish autho-
rity—it recites facts with which the Spanish pro-
vincial Governors must be familiar at the present
moment, and it expresses sentiments in perfect
accordance with the reported feelings and dispo-
sitions of the province which Llander commands.
The extended copy, besides, agrees with those
abridgments of its contents formerly published,
:and its tenor and language account for its first
rejection by the Queen Regent. If thus ge-
nuine, the picture which it presents of the
present state of Spain, of the nature of the civil
conflict raging in that country, of the loose de-
pendence of the provincial authorities upon the
general Government, and of the objects which
are aimed at by the popular party, is most in
tercsting and instructive. The Catalonians have
always been attached to their political franchises,
and proud of their local independence. Though
subdued, oppressed, and stripped of their rights,
after the war of the succession and the establish-
ment of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, they
have never forgotten that they once were free,
aid have embraced every opportunity to recover
their liberties. In the war of 1823, Barcelona
and the greatest part of the province nobly se-
conded the efforts of General Mina, and only
submitted to the French arms when, by the con-
quest of the other provinces of the kingdom,
further resistance would have been without
hope, and without an object. On the pre-
sent occasion, when the Carlists raised the
standard of revolt, they did not depend for their
protection on regular troops, but formed them-
selves into constitutional volunteers to maintain
their rights, contrary to the orders of the Prime
Minister, and to the no small discomfiture of
his well-meant but temporizing policy. They
now feel strong in their discipline, union, and
resolute patriotism, and through their Captain-1
General demand, in language very little short of
sedition, a change in the royal councils, and the
establishment of those Constitutional guarantees,
without which they can place no faith in the
stability of the infant throne. The remonstrances
which they have employed, we are afraid, will
find an echo in other provinces, and if adopted
by other Captains-General, must render a change
of system inevitable, if not immediate. The
great error committed by the Minister Zea, was
the issue of his imprudent manifesto of the 2d
of October, which alienated the Liberal party
by declaring against Constitutional Reforms,
and failed in gaining over the Carlists, by
threats of administrative improvement. Since
that time, he has nearly stood alone,
without being able to lean upon either, and
an object of attack from the arrows of both. As
he has set a price on the head of the Royal Pre-
tender, he is abhorred by the Carlists as a con-
tingent regicide ; as he has refused to grant a
general amnesty to the Constitutionalists, or to
convoke the Cortes, he is looked upon by the
enlightened part of the population as an enemy
of a body of meritorious patriots already too
Jong persecuted, and of likeral institutions al-
ready too long delayed. It is therefore only
under the shadow of the throne which he is
accused of compromising, or by the countenance
of foreign ambassadors, who are alleged to lend
him their aid, that he has been able to support
himself amid such a tempest of distrust, disap-
probation, and alarm. It is in vain that the
Minister, in these circumstances, can appeal to
so many liberal acts—so many liberal appoint.
ments and fair promises. It is in vain that
he can point to a new division of the
kingdom—to a new commission on the
press—to salutary reforms in the Adminis-
tration. The answer to all these probably just
claims to public favour is, We have no confi-
dence in you or your system, while we have
only your frail engagements for its continuance,
and no national guarantees." The Constitu-
tional exiles who might enjoy the benefit of his
amnesty have not returned to their country.
Why ? Because they say, and they say truly,
that on arriving at Madrid they might without
some constitutional security be ordered to leave
the capital and proceed forthwith to Minorca or
Ceuta. Such things might have been done
every day, and with impunity, under the regime
of Ferdinand, when Zea formerly was his Mi-
nister; and it is not impossible that they might
be repeated under an infant Queen, should no
constitutional curb be placed on the arbitrary
tendencies of the Government. It will be ob-
served that the Captain-General of Catalonia,
who was formerly a Royalist, proposes to convoke,
not the Cortes of 1812 or 1820, but the Cortes of
the Three Estates in the ancient form. This it
may be supposed is satisfactory to the Liberals,
though opposed to their former system ; because in
such an assembly, convoked under such aus-
pices, and opposed to the apostolical faction,
they are sure to have an immense majority. The
nobility are generally on the side of the Queen
and liberty ; the delegates from the towns
or commonalty would be as free as they
were in the Cortes of 1820, and such of the
clergy as would obey the summons to repair to
Madrid would concur in views with the other
two estates. In petitions for such a convocation
of the Cortes, the other chiefs of towns and
provinces will most probably agree. Quesada is
said already to have given in his adhesion to
the address of Llander,—the example will be
contagious, and in a short time we shall pro-
bably hear of the resignation of M. Zea, of the
formation of a new Cabinet, and of the assem-
bling of a new Legislature. The Peninsula is
certainly on the eve of great events, though,
alas ! the speedy establishment of internal tran-
quillity can scarcely be expected to be one of
them.—Times.

We by no means share the alarm felt by some
of our Contemporaries at the power of Russia;
for her further advance westwards is now arrested
by neighbours, possessed of greater military re-
sources than her own ; and any conquests she
may make on the East weakens rather than adds
to her resources. But, though it be a matter of
great satisfaction that England and France, the
two most powerful countries of Europe, have
DOW laid aside all their absurd jealousies, and
rivalries, and heartily unite in upholding a libe-
ral policy, we yet cannot shut our eyes to the
danger to which Europe is exposed from the
circumstance of three of the five great Govern-
ments being of an anti-social character, i. e. so
constituted as to allow to the nations of Europe
no security against the greatest of all calamities
—war, should circumstances favour the three

Powers in realising their views of aggrandize-
ment. touring the last century down to the
French Revolution, Europe Sias, with few re-
spites, constantly itivolved in war. These wars
were not undertaken for national objects. They
were family wars, in which the resources of great
nations were expended in determining by force
of arms whether so many thousand square miles,
and so many millions of inhabitants, should be-
long to this or that Prince—they were wars of
aggrandizement—wars for rounding territories—
warso, of partition. The nations of the West of
Europe had unquestionably attained to high
; but it was a strange sight to see ab-
solute Monarchs availing themselves of th© re-
sources of that civilization, and with the most
perfect indifference to the weal or woe of their
subjects, taking the field with numerous armies,
and sacrificing them to objects in which the
people had no interest. England was hardly an
exception to the general system of Europe ;
because the King of England drew from the
people the means of corrupting those who might
have opposed any obstacle to his will. In a work
of great labour, and considerable talent, which
has just appeared at Oxford, " A Manuel of
the History of the Political System of Europe
and its Colonies," by Professor Heeren,of Got-
tingen, translated from the fifth German edition,
the leading features of the old European politi-
cal system are clearly described. "The European
political system," he observes in the Introduction,
" notwithstanding its internal variety, was, till
within these few years, a system of predominant
Monarchies, where Republics, with the exception
of the United Netherlands, which alone attained to
any great degree of power, were merely tolerated.
This predominance ofmonarchies had a consider-
able influence on general politics. It was this, in the
first place, that kept back the people from taking
a more active part in public affairs. * * *
A second consequence of this predominance
was, that the management of public affairs be-
came more and more concentrated in the hands
of Princes and their Ministers, and thus led to
that Cabinet policy which particularly charac-
terizes the European States' system." We have
seen the fruits of the Cabinet-policy, in the
successive conspiracies of the three Robber-
powers of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, against
their peaceful neighbours. The people were
considered as so many cattle, as beings existing
merely for the purposes of the Princes. In M.
Heeren's book, the workings of this Cabinet
policy are stated in a concise and simple manner.
There is not, perhaps, in the history of the
world anything to match the perfidy of the
father of the present Monarch of Prussia at the
late partition of Poland. On the 29th March,
1790, Prussia became the defender of the Poles,
and guaranteed to them their possessions.
" Frederic William 11. (says M. Heeren) had
returned from Champagne without laurels, and
with his Treasury almost exhausted; and the war
on the Rhine continued. What a prospect,joined
to that of a second war with Russia! That
Prussia would abandon them, the Poles might,
therefore, anticipate ; but that their protector,
already in secret connexion with Russia, would
aid in their ruin, was more than could have been
expected." Russia and Prussia are an agglo-
meration of possessions acquired under the
Cabinet policy of Europe by the most foul and
fraudulent means. Against such conspiracies
there can be no security so long as the affairs
of nations are treated in Cabinets as if they
were the affairs of Kings. In the general exist-
ence of Constitutional Governments, in which
the affairs of nations shall have the utmost
publicity given to them, can Europe alone be
secure against the recurrence to such scenes as
those which disgraced the period which preceded
the French revolution. At present, A ustria is
kept in check by Italy ; Prussia is surrounded
by States in which the Constitutional principle
has taken deep root. The knowledge possessed
by the Governments of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia, that the people of the west of Europe
would everywhere embrace the first oppor-
tunity to rid themselves of absolutism, is
at present a check on these powers. But we
cannot conceal from ourselves that the evil prin-
ciple exists, and is only inactive from constraint.
It should always be kept in mind, that absolute
Governments are. only innocent when alarmed
for their own safety. Whenever a favourable
opportunity is presented—and who can tell what
may happen ?—we may again witness the fruits
of the Cabinet policy in further partitions. It
is well observed by M. Heeren, that " the
superiority of a constitutional monarchy (with
a representative assembly, the proceedings of
which are public) over an autocratic monarchy
(where both are wanting), is not founded on
the fact, that the former is always better governed
(for even autocracies are not unfrequently very
well governed) ; but on the greater or less value
which is placed on the political improvement of
the nation and its consequences. The improve-
ment can proceed from nothing but an actual par-
ticipation in their own concerns." Self-govern-
ment is the only government under which na-
tions can deem themselves secure against ag-
gression. Autocracies must exist so long as
we cannot put them down ; but every well-
wisher of his species betrays his duty, when he
does not avail himself of every opportunity for
striking at the root of absolute governments.
Delenda est Carthago, is the burden of our
song. But we would not hazard the peace of
Europe for even this great object.—Morning
Chronicle.

While the corn laws are bitterly attacked by a
party in England, and the cry for cheap bread
has succeeded the cry for reform, as the panacea
of all the evils of England, the people of the
Hessian provinces on the Rhine are complaining
of distress on account of the low prices of their
corn and wine, which proves that bread and wine
may be too cheap to be consistent with the
prosperity of a nation. An article, dated from
that country, and inserted in the Frankfort
papers of the 15th instant, says—" We have
wine and corn—the crops look admirably—the
weather is so mild that the spring flowers
already show themselves—we have tranquillity
and peace—we are contented with
our Go-
vernment—wc think of no unlawful innovations
—we have no hotheaded agitators ; and yet we
are not happy." One would have thought that a
nation of which such things could he truly pre-
dicated enjoyed as much happiness as the social
state of man was capable of receiving in this
" vale of tears." But, no !—With all these ap-
pliances and means of happiness—with abundance
of the necessaries of hle—fertile soil and fine
climate—an absence of all political strife and
discontent—no desire for innovation—perfect
satisfaction with the institutions of the country,
and the measures of Government, the Hessians
are not happy—nay, they are in a state of posi-
tive discomfort and distress—and why The
necessaries of life are too cheap. ln other
words, their corn and wine are too abundant to
fetch high prices in the market, and they lament

the want of corn laws and wino laws, to make
those articles dearer than they are! Yet while
our English agriculturists are rapidly breaking
down, because the prices, even with the arti-
ficial stimulus of the corn laws, are too low to
give them a remuneration for the taxes which
the land bears, and the expenses of cultivation,
a set of political quacks in this country, are
prescribing the repeal of the corn laws, and the
consequent further reduction of prices, as a re-
medy for the national embarrassment and distress.
Hear what the Hessians say, " For several
successive years, the prices of corn were
high, and houses and land accordingly rose in
value. At all public auctions, estates were
sold at high prices, and, in order to raise
them as high as possible the sellers granted
delay for the payments, the landowners estimated
their incomes according to the current high
prices of corn, and incurred heavy debts. The
quarter of wheat, which, a few years ago, was
13 or 14 florins, is now sold at five florins.
Wine, which was then in great demand at 120
to 150 florins, is now not inquired for, but the
capitalists demand payment. It is.natural that
such a state of things must cause distress and
anxiety." They add, that " they do not feel
any of the happy effects which were expected
from the new commercial convention which has
conferred on them the blessing of what is called
free trade." Here is a practical lesson to those
who think that, by reducing the prices of the
farmers' produce still lower than they already are
in this country, while enormous taxation presses
upon the national industry, the pressure of dis-
tress would be relieved. Nothing can be more
absurd. The shipowners have been brought to
the verge of ruin by rash and silly experiments
on the navigation laws, and those who would
remove the legislative protection from the Bri-
tish farmer, would complete the ruin of the
agricultural interests.—Morning Herald.
The public will be glad to perceive, from the
report which we give in another part of this
day's paper, of the proceedings in the Court of
King's• Bench yesterday, that Lord Durham has
deserted the prosecutions, of which he had
given previous notice, against all the papers
which had unwarrantably assailed his private
character, with the sole exception of the journal
with which the scandal originated. This is at
once worthy of his Lordship, and just towards
the press. Newspapers not only naturally copy
from one another, but are compelled to do so ;
and this function on their part induces the pub-
lication of many matters which are not only
libellous, but untrue. It would be a hard
matter, however, though it is one of frequent
occurrence, that those who have copied para-
graphs which they believed to be true, and
in doing which they had no malicious motive,
should be punished to the same extent as the
party with whom the alleged libel originated ;
and we are glad to see that Lord Durham has
set the example of discharging the copyists,
without blame or costs, from their alleged trans-
gression, and has confined his action to the
paper in which it appears to have originated.
We must add, however, that he would have
exercised a sound discretion in even letting
that journal alone, which branded him with
contempt for the people and their rights. Such
pitiful attacks, if left to find their own level,
would have only served to prove more distinctly
to the people of England what they have always
believed—that they had no better friend than
the Earl of Durham.—Morning Advertiser.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

A woman named Randall, with her daughter, a
girl fourteen or fifteen years of age, were placed at
the bar, charged with stealing and receiving a num-
ber of small articles.

Both the parties were committed for trial.
MAR YLEB ONE.

THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING.-At
an early hour yesterday morning (some time before
the office doors were opened) a great crowd of
people had collected outside, anxious to obtain a
sight of Thomas Banger, and an elderly female,
who for some time past had filled the situation of
cook in the family of Robert Parry Nesbitt, Rig.,
of No. 76, Baker-street, Portman-square.
It will be remembered that the male prisoner was
charged, on Saturday last, with having been found
in the house of the above named gentleman, with
some hogwash and stale broken victuals in his pos-
session, given him by the cook, who, it will also
be recollected, was, contrary to the wishes of Mr.
Nesbitt, sent for by Mr. HosioNs, the presiding
magistrate, and placed at the bar by the side of the
man charged with the felony.
At twelve o'clock, at which time the office was
crowded to excess (in consequence of the great in-
terest excited by the publicity given to the extraor-
dinary proceedings), the two prisoners, who a short
time previously had alighted from the prison van,
having been confined simce Saturday at Clerkenwell,
were placed at the bar. The cook, who is at least
sixty years of age, and who was attired very re-
spectably, appeared much hurt at the situation in
which she was placed, while the by-standers evi-
dently sympathised with her in her sufferings.
Mr. HOSKLNS (to Garnet, police constable, 148
D)—Have you made any further inquiry respecting
the man Benger ? Garnett—Agreeably to your
Worship's directions, I proceeded to Benger's house
in Portland-town, and saw a policeman who lodges
at the same place, and of whom I inquired the man's
character. The answer I received was that he was
a hard-working, sober, honest, and industrious man.
His landlord also gave him the same character. I
then proceeded into the yard and examined his pig-
stye, which was empty, and, upon asking the reason,
was informed that he had recently been involved in
much trouble and distress, in consequence of the
death of his wife, and that he had been obliged to
part with his pigs to pay the expense of her funeral.
A greengrocer, residing at No. 1, John-street,
Portland-town, spoke in the highest terms of him ;
as did Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Portland
Arms, and many other respectable individuals.
Garnett then went on to state that he had been to
No. 75, Baker-street (next door to Mr. Nesbitt),
the residence of Mr. Campbell ; and on mentioning
to that gentleman that the male prisoner had, ac-
cording to Mr. Nesbitt's account, been seen to come
out there on Saturday, Mr. Campbell informed
him that such was not the case, and that Mr.
Nesbitt must have laboured under a mistake in
supposing so.
The musty bread and meat were here re-produced
before the Bench. _ _ _ _

Mr. HOSKINS (to Garnett)—Take that piece of
loaf up, and see if it's mouldy, as the cook has stated.
Garnett (breaking it in half, and putting it to his
nose)—l see no mould on it ; but it smells very
sour, your 'Worship.
An officer of the establishment also smelled it,
and gave the same opinion.
Mr. HosictNs-18 that a whole roll there ?
Garnett—No ; there is nothing but a parcel of
very stale pieces, tops and bottoms, of small loaves,
very dry and hard.

Mr.
ilosKiNs (to Benger)—Have you any wit-
ne,ses to character ? Benger—Yes, yuur Worship,
John West, of Portland-town, was then called.
who stated that he had known Benger upwards of
three yeas, and could bear testimony as to his ex-
cellent character.

Mr. Burnham, of Henry-street, and another per-
son, were examined, both of whom concurred in the

testimony of the other witnesses regarding the honest
and industrious habits of the poor fellow.
Mr. Hosxrcs (to Mr. Nesbitt)—You, I think,
wish to say something?
Mr. Nesbitt—l do; and have to observe that,
although my cook has acted improperly in this case,
inasmuch as she had strict orders not to admit any
person into the house of the prisoner's description,
still I must beg to observe, that although she has
been committed to prison by your orders, I never
made any charge against her; nor did I intend to
prosecute. As regards her, therefore, I again repeat
that I have no charge to make ; and with respect to
the man, I have now no wish of proceeding further,
but shall leave the case entirely in your hands.
Mr. HosiuNs—ls that all you have to say, Sir ?
Mr. Nesbitt—Yes, it is.
Mr. HOSKINS—This appears to me to be a case
which I still regard in the same light as I did on
Saturday, and one in which the prisoners must both
go to trial, or both be discharged. I don't think I
can treat it summarily under the Vagrant Act, and,
if dealt with at all, one must be sent as the thief and
the other as the receiver. The amount of property is
trifling, but that does not determine the principle;
the fact of the robbery is clearly brought home;
and as it is well known that servants are continually
robbing their masters, it strikes me that on public
grounds the prisoners ought to be prosecuted. You
may have had u good character with your cook, and
she may have conducted herself well in your service,
but that does not at all alter the case; and open
public grounds alone, as I said before, the prosecu-
tion ought to proceed, but as you seem to be a very
unwilling prosecutor, there would be but little
chance of the ends of justice being answered. I
shall, therefore, leave it to you to proceed or not as
you think proper. Is it your intention to go on with
the prosecution ? Mr. Nesbitt—As regards the wo-
man certainly not. I have never once made any
charge against her, or thought of doing so.
Mr. HOSKINi—I can't then punish one without
the other.

Mr. Nesbitt—As I have repeatedly observed, I
don't charge the cook with any offence.
Mr. HOSKINS—Then they are both discharged.
The prisoners were accordingly liberated, and on
leaving the office received the congratulations of a
crowd of persons who were waiting outside.

Q UEEN-SQ UARE.
CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS AGAINST A CLERGY-
MAN.—Yesterday an elderly man, apparently be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, dressed in an
old worn-out drab great coat, covered with mud,
who gave his name Arthur Broome, was brought
up in custody from the station-house in the New-
way, Tothill-street, by police constable Peck, of
the B division, No. 149, and charged before Mr.
WHITE with being drunk in the public streets, and
quite incapable of taking care of himself.
The police constable was on duty about a quarter
to nine o'clock on the previous evening in York-
street, when he saw the defendant, who was so
much intoxicated that he was compelled to take him
to the station-house, as he was incapable of taking
care of himself.

Mr. Grossmith, the inspector on duty, said that
when the defendant was brought into the station-
house and searched he found a begging letter in
his pocket.
The letter was handed to Mr. White, and was
addressed to his Royal Highness the Duke of Glou-
cester, at Brighton. At the bottom of the letter
was a list of subset iptions, at the head of which was
the Marchioness of Cholmondeliy, 31. 33., arid seve-
ral others of the nobility.

111 r. Roome—That letter is er►tirely of a private
nature.

Mr. WHITE, having glanced over the contents,
asked the defendant where he lived ? Mr. Broome
—At No. 12, Allington-street.
Mr. WHITE—And where is Allington-street ?
Mr. Broome—Pimlico.

Mr. WHITE—Pray what are you? Mr. Broome
—I am a clerk.
Mr. WRITE—To whom ? Mr. Broome—
Clerical.

Mr. WHITE (evidently surprised)—Do you mean
to say that you are in holy orders ? Mr. Broome—
I do, Sir.
Mr. WHITE—And you have been regularly or-
dained ? Mr. Broome—l have, Sir.
Mr. WHITE—By whom were you ordained ?
Mr. Broome—By the Bishop of London. I mean
the late Bishop of London.
Mr. WHlTE—Where did he ordain you ? Mr.
Broome—At Fulham, about twenty-five years ago;
and I had the living of Roydon, in Essex.
Mr. WHITE—How long did yon remain there?
Mr. Broome—About two years.
Mr. WHITE—And have you ever officiated as a
Clergyman of the Church of England since that
period Y Mr. Broome—l have occasionally.
Mr. Grossmith, the inspector, said that the de-
fendant's landlord had come to the station-house
that morning, and assured him that notwithstanding
the defendant's appearance he had thirty pounds of
his money, which he had given him to take care of
for him.
Mr. WHITE asked the defendant what he had to
say to the charge, and observed that his conduct
with respect to the letter found upon him required
explanation. Mr. Broome—l am aware it is wrong,
Sir; I was rather unsettled, and I admit having
drank too much.

Mr. WHITE—But this letter requires some ex-
planation, for sending such letters as these subjects
you to be sent to the House of Correction. Mr.
Broome—l can explain every thing.
Mr. WHITE—I shall be very happy if you can
explain ; and I should like to have the explanation
corroborated by some person whose name is affixed
to this letter. Mr. Broome—l can do it, Sir.
Mr. WHITE--1 confess that it appears to me very
extraordinary and inconsistent, if you are what you
describe, that you should be found intoxicated about
the public streets. I shall therefore adjourn the case.
The Rev. Gentleman was then removed in
custody.
Inspector—Shall I make inquiry into the case ?
Mr. WHITE—Oh, no. I dare say he will send
for some person.
In about an hour the defendant's landlord and
another person arrived, when, after some communi-
cation, the Rev. Gentleman was fined ss. for drunken-
ness and discharged.

HAT T ON- GARDEN.
IMPUDENT TRANSACTION.-0a Monday evening
a fellow presented himself before Mr. LAING to
offer himself as bail for a person who had been com-
mitted to prison for an assault, when the following
colloquy took place :
Mr. LAING—Pray what are you ? Bail—What
am I ? I am an engraver, your Worship.
Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live ? Bail—ln Bi-
shop's-court, Clerkenwell.
Mr. LAING—Who do you come to bail ? Bail—
A Mr. Biddell.
Mr. LAING—What is he ? Bail—An engraver.
Mr. LAlNG—Where does he live ? Bail—Why
I really don't know.
Mr. LAING—Then you come here to bail a per.
son, and you don't know where he lives. I shall
not receive your bail. You may go about your
business.—lle then left the Court.
Mountstevens, a beadle of Clerkenwell parish,
happened to be present, said. " Why, your
Worship, that man who just now offered himself as
bail is one of our paupers, and is now receiving
relief from our parish."
Mr. LAING--A pauper ! Call him back ; go and
bring him back directly.
Hall, the officer, brought him back, when he was
confronted with Mountstevens.

no—yes,,
Mountstevens (looking at him steadfastly)—Di,u

isn't it ? Mountsteyens—You know that very well.

Mountstevens—l am surprise) that you could

have the effrontery to come here to swear that you
are a housekeeper, worth 401. after all your debts
are paid, when you know you are only a man of
straw. Your Worship, to-morrow will be our re-
lieving day, and I will bet my life that he will be
there to receive his weekly allowance. .
Mr. LAING said that he never met with a more
daring and impudent transaction, and indignantly
ordered the fellow to be turned out of the office, in-
timating that if he ever dared to show his face there
again under similar circumstances it would be worse
for him.

lie then slunk out of the office with another fel-
low who accompanied him.

UNION- HALL

Yesterday Elizabeth. Potter, swell-looking young
woman, was brought before Mr. MURRAY and Mr.
WEDGWOOD, charged with inveigling away a great
number of young children from the vicinity of their
dwellings, then stripping them of their clothes, and
leaving them in almost a state of nudity, exposed in
some by.place. The office was literally crowded
with mothers and their children ; the latter of whom
had been stripped by the prisoner, and it was with
difficulty that the former could be restrained from
inflicting summary punishment on the accused.
An intelligent little girl, nine years of age, who
sells fruit in Stamford-street, saw the prisoner
passing along with a child in each hand, and per-
ceiving that the children were both crying, it ex-
cited her attention more particularly as to the iden-
tity of the prisoner. Soon afterwards the witness
met with the same children again in a by-court
leading out of the Waterloo-road, both nearly naked,
having been stripped of all their garments, with the
exception of their shifts. The witness added that
the children told her that they had been str;pped by
the woman with whom they had been seen in
Stamford-street, and she (witness) was positive that
the prisoner was the same person.
A policeman of the L division stated that on hear-
ing what had occurred he went to the court, and
saw the children in the state described by the last
witness. He took them to the station-house, and
having procured two shawls he covered them, and
then accompanied them home to their parents in
Dorset-court, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street. The
policeman described the joy which the parents ma-
nifested on seeing their children, whom they had
supposed were kidnapped.
A female child, of seven years of age, gave a clear
and distinct statement of having met the prisoner,
whom she was induced to accompany from Alders-
gate-street into Blackfriars-road. When she was
first accosted by the prisoner the latter said she hail
seen her mother, who gave her leave to take her
over to Blackfriars-road. When they got there the
prisoner took her into a lonely place, stripped her,
and then went away. The child was afterwards
picked up by a policeman, who took her home to
her parents.
Another child, six years of age, who had been in-
veigled away by the prisoner, and stripped and left
in a similar manner, identified her. Several other
little children, whose mothers described that they
had been stripped and left naked in the streets, were
brought forward, and most of them had a recollec-
tion of the prisoner as the person who deprived
them of their clothes.

The prisoner was remanded, as other charges are
likely to be brought against her.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovadoes last
week was steady and considerable : the estimated sales
2,900 hbds. and trs. Early in the week there was a
small reduction in the prices 'of low and mid. descrip-
tions, on account of the decline in Mauritius; but at the
close of the market there was much firmness, and the for-
mer currency was fully supported. The demand for
West India Sugars continues steady ; the estimated sales
this day are 800 blade. and ti s., including the Barbadoes ;
the late pi ices are fully maintained. The stock of West
India Sugar is now 30,048 hhds. and trs., being 7,642
more than hat year. The stock of Mauritius 86,575
bags, being 21,583 more than last year. The delivery of
West India 2,836 hhds. and trs. ; being 665 more than
last year. The delivery of 'Mauritius 6,700 bags, being
1,916 more than the corresponding week of 1833. In
Refined goods last week the chief export demand conti-
nued to be for the Mediterranean ports, and for fine Crashed
30s. 9d. was freely paid, and some purchases reported at
315., and fur low goods refined from Foreign Sugars 295.
to 30s. 3d. ; the grocery descriptions were in good de-
mand for the home consumption. The Market this
afternoon continues very firm, and the quantity offering
very much reduced.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.—Above 2,000 bags Mauritius sold
after Tuesday in last week. They west off heavily, and
in some instances a shade lower; yellow, 51s. a 525. This
day's public saki 1,863 bags Mauritius Sugar. The
whole sold at full market prices ; brown good bright
495. 6d. a 505. 6d., yellow chiefly 51s. a 535. 6d.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There has been an increased de-
mand for East India Sugar, particularly for the low qua-
lities, both for export and refining, but the actual purchases
were not on an extensive scale. This day's public sales
1,540 bags Siam, 155 chests Bengal ; the formal. 21s. 6d.
a 255. 6d., much the same prices, all sold. The :Manilla
21s. sd. a 225. 6d , also full market prices.

FOREIGN SUGAR.-By private contract a parcel of soft
Yellow Havannah was sold, of mid. colour, about 255. The
good and strong are held 265. to 275. 200 Huts. Porto
Rico sold 22, to 235., for mid and good colour ; dabs,
20s. This day's public sales 833 boxes Havannah Sugar.
A very small proportion sold, Yellow, low to good,
235. 6.1. a 255. 6.1. Average price of Sugar, 1185.
per cwt.
COFFEE.-Towards the close of last week rather lower
prices were submitted to for East India Coft e; ord. Ba-
tavia soil in parcels, 545. to 555. ; Samarang, 525. 6d.
to 53.. In other descriptions there was little doing ; a
cargo of Brazil sold at 585., deliverable at a foreign port
over the ship's side. The British Plantation descriptions
went off heavily at previoua prices. This day's public
sales 1,270 bags Mocha, 231 bags Batavia, 394 bags
East India, 50 casks 18 brls., 218 bags Berbice, and
447 bags Foreign ; the latter St. Domingo and Brazil,
all taken in ; Berbice triage and good ord., 86,. and 87s.
mid. and good mid. 935. to 955., about Is. higher; a
small proportion of the Batavia sold mixed with blacks at
559. ; the Mocha new green, 675. to 68s. ; old ungarbled
635. 6d. and 645., mostly sold 2s. to ss. lower, but at
better prices than could be anticipated, considering the
quantity brought forward.
Cocoa.-By public sale this day, 947 bags Brazil
Cocoa was all taken in 225. 6d. a 245. The Govern-
ment contract for 40 tons, reported to be taken on Friday,
about 225. 6d.
Rum, BRANDY, AND Hom.arrns.-The contract with
Government for Rum was taken on Friday last, 75,000
gallons at 2s. Id., 2s. 11-d., and 2s. lid. ; the Commis-
sioners asked the contractors if they would take a further
quantity of 30,000 gallons, which was taken at the latter
prim., clearly showing that there is no stock held by the
Navy Board ; this circumstance, and the full prices ob-
tained, has given great firmness to the Market ; the quota-
tions are nominal, as the holders will not accept the pre-
vious prices. Brandy and Geneva are both heavy. At a
late hour the nearest quotation of Leewards, proofs 2s. 2d.
to 2s. 3J. ; Jamaica 30 over, 3s, Stock of Rum in
London, Jan. 4, 1834 ;-Jamaica 13,846 puns. 520
hhds., Demerara 2,114 puns. 1,143 hhds., Leeward
Islands 1,359 puns. 63 hhels. The sales this day are
proof Leewards 2s. 2d., and 9 over 2s. 4d., 5 over at the
same price, and 10 over 2s. Bd.
IRISH Paovistosis.-The make of India Beef this
season has been considerably short, as compared with
preceding years; present price landed 71. 55., but there
are not more than 100 trs. in the market for sale ; we
have a large quantity of last season's cure front 51. 10s. to
Si. 15s. ; the scarcity of the former will consequently
enhance the value of the new I%lees Beef, particularly as
thorough prime brands will be substituted in lieu of India ;
there will also be a scarcity of India Pork, but not of Me's,
50 pieces, the price of the latter free on board at Cork
21. I Is. per barrel.
TaLtow--There continues to be a steady and rather
extensive demand for Tallow. At a late hour this even-
ing the quotation was 435. 9J. This d ly's public sale
100 casks Odessa, coarse first quality sold 43s a 435. 9d.
Tobacco.-There are no sales of Tobacco worth re-
porting.
SILKS.-The Market continues active, and prices firm.

\Voori:-Irl Wool there is no alteration. -
Hu:E.—Rice is heavy and rather lower, low to good
white, 1 ls. 6d. to 13s. 6u. ; the latter P.ttna kit.d. This
day's public sales 1,191 bags Rice, good Bengal, all with-
drawn.
