AFTER 'OHANGE.—This being settling day a good deal
of business was done in our national funds. All descrip-
tions of stock were higher. The reductions in Spanish
stock continue, and the alternate rising and falling is quite
extraordinary, according as the reports are favourable or
otherwise. To-day they were favourable, and the prices rose.

At a meeting of the governors of the House of
Industry, Cork, last week, Mr. B. Martin moved, and John
D. Croke., Esq., seconded, a proposal that Mr. Patrick
Joseph O'Brien, one of the governors, be expelled the sittings
of the board of that institution, for a series of improper con-
duct, by which the character of that charity was greatly in-
jured in public estimation. Mr. O'Brien entered into a long
defence of his conduct, and the meeting adjourned, by assent,
to Tuesday next.

MYSTERIOUS.—Captain Hobbs, of the Bristish
schooner, Union Jack, have arrived at Boston on Friday, the
Ist, from Windsor, Nova Scotia, picked up on the 28th ult.
a hogshead containing the body of a man, but being very offen-
sive he let it go ogain, without examining it very particularly.
One of the hogshead heads was hung on strong iron hing3s,
and had a clasp similar to a harness cask, and was secured by
a padlock.—Montreal Courier.
HARVEST REAPERS.—For more than a week, the
quay at the Broomielaw has been thronged with Irish
shearers, on their way home. They presented, in general, a
very motley aspect, none of them having thought of renovating
the outer man. The Highlanders, too, are hastening to their
native hills ; but they present a very different appearance.
The blue bonnet, the home-spun and home-woven coat and
trowsers ; the cloth-like short-gown upon the females, with
the stout plaiden petticoat, mark them out as having been
trained to economy. They generally save the most of their
wages, as a safeguard against winter.—Dun fries Courier.
GLASGOW CATIIF.DRAL.—We are happy to un-
derstand that Mr. Reid, the King's architect, has ordered esti-
mates for the restoration of the walls and stonework of our
venerable cathedral ; and that a great and extensive repair is
forthwith to be commenced. This immediate attention to the
preservation and improvement of the cathedral has arisen, we
believe, from the late visit of Sir John Cam Hobhouse to this
city ; and the attention that the Chief Commissioner of the
Woods and Forests has paid to this venerable relic of anti-
quity, warrants us in hoping that the Government will not be
backward in carrying the projected alteration of the interior
into effect. Glasgow Paper.
A RARE SAMPLE OF THE SUBLIME AND
BEAUTIFUL.—We quote the following from the Morning
Herald of this day. If our readers can make anything of it,
they are more fortunate than we are. The writer of this as-
tounding morceau signs himself Peregrine Urban :—" I
looked towards the east, over a country of hills numerous and
exuberant as the many beasts of our " Alma mater Natura"—
the sun was sinking near the horizon, goldenly, glowingly,
gloriously,—the clouds, abundant but broken and dispersed
about in forms denoting luxurious calm, and of every hue akin
to sunset, deep or delicate according as they approached or
were distant from the great centre of light—on the extreme
distant left ran out boldly and far into the ocean the range of
Beachy Head, all of one clear tint—a wall of dark deep lapis
lazuli—coldly pure as that of "the far Rhetian hills"—within
its bounds Pevensey Bay, wholly waveless and reflecting the
general glow above it—one level onyx—pearly, with gleams of
flre—a floor for heaven—this leads the eye on by tower and
town along the shore up to the cliffs, and the crowning ruin of
old Hastings Castle, and thence again we travel, again with
transverse glance over that noble land, gleaming like emeralds
set in a thousand prismatic fantasies." The closing touch is
irresistible. Conceive an emerald set in a " prismatic fantasy 1"
Such a mode of setting would puzzle the most ingenious jew-
eller that ever existed.

THE POACHERS' INGENUITY.---For taking of
partridges, a singularmethod has been adopted by some
poachers, viz. to provide a setting-dog, upon the head of which
they fix a lantern, for the purpose of his ranging the field in
the night : on his stopping, the poachers know where the
partridges lie, and draw the net up to him accordingly. The
gamekeepers of the Earl of Carlisle, some time since, being
on their nightly perambulations, were not a little astonished
and alarmed at seeing a light traversing the field in a very
singular manner ; they prepared their guns accordingly, and
in a short time the light made a sudden stop, when three or
four men, whom they had not descried, making their appear-
ance, they weae secured in the act of drawing a large net up
to the light upon the head of the setter, as before-mentioned.

We are sorry to record another accident on the
Severn. The brig Ann, of Sunderland, laden with salt, being
suddenly becalmed on Monday last, unavoidably drifted on the
Count Rocks, and received some damage. She has since
been taken to Slime Road, and part of the cargo delivered into
barges; the remainder has been spoiled by a leak. The ex-
tor.4llTertteutr,of damage is not yet known, but there is reason to hope it

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1834.

An express from Lisbon has just been received in
the City, announcing the death of Don PEDRO, Re-
gent of Portugal. The ex-Emperor expired at twelve
o'clock, on the night of the 21st ultimo. The QUEEN
has appointed the new Cabinet. PALMELLA is Prime
Minister; the Duke of TERCEIRA Minister of War ;
CARVALLO Minister of Finance; and VILLA REAL

Minister of Foreign Affairs. The news from Madrid

We have received by express the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, which contain intelligence from Madrid up
to the 25th of September. The debate in the Chamber
of Procuradores on the reports of the majority and
minority of the Finance Committee, terminated, as was
reported in our extracts of yesterday from the Spanish
Papers, by the rejection of the report of the majority ;
which by a skilful manoeuvre on the part of
Ministers, has re-introduced ToßENo's plan, the first
article of which has been adopted by the Chamber.
This is excellent so far, as by this article the whole of
the foreign debt is at once recognized as the debt of
the State. The only thing now wanted is, that the
Chamber would end their discussions on the debt
here, and henceforth give their attention to the
most effectual means of discharging it. But this they
appear by no means inclined to do, and hence

there is more than a probability that Spain may still
enter into a compromise with the public creditor on the
ground of inability to meet the demands of which she

admits the entire justice. Now this, we contend,
will be an act of flagrant injustice if done prior to any
attempt to ascertain .the value of the property at pre-
sent at the disposal of the State. So long as the
church and crown possessions are left untouched, the

foreigner has just cause to feel incensed against those
who would advocate the expediency of dispensing with
good faith : and his cause for complaint is heightened
a thousand-fold, when he remembers that Count To-
RENO declared against the disposal of church property
at present, alleging that it was to be held sacred to the
liquidation of the home debt, or in other words to the
payment of whatever sums Spain owes to herself. But
if the members of the Spanish Cabinet are of
opinion that the first act of Spanish justice—honour,
and gratitude—is due to the Spanish creditor, why not
even enact that the surplus, if any, shall go to meet
the demands of the foreigner who was so foolishly
confiding as to take a nation's bond for his money ?
Even this would be better than to devote the whole of
a fund whose value has not been ascertained to the
liquidation of one debt, and then insult the world with
idle cant about poverty, in ability, and a variety of
other excuses which would not be listened to for a mo-
ment in a commen bankruptcy court. The vote of
the Chamber, however, had the effect of raising the
price of the Spanish Stock in Paris. Even the Gueb-
hard loan closed at 26 on the Bourse on Saturday.
There is a dearth of domestic news in Paris, as well
as with ourselves. The monied interest has suffered
some annoyance, and a considerable loss by the failure
of three commission houses, in which a great deal of
business was transacted. Their debts are said to ex-
ceed three millionS of francs.
The Press continues to be honoured with the watch-
ful scrutiny of Lours PHILIPPE and his satellites.
On Monday last, the Quotidienne was seized, in conse-
quence, it is supposed, of an article which appeared in the
paper of that day, recording the anniversary of the majority
of the Duke de BORDEAUX in language not the most
agreeable to the citizen King. Why this extreme sen-
sibility on the part of the French Government ? Is
there, indeed, so much to be dreaded from the free ex-
pression of public opinion, that a Government feels
itself warranted in adopting such a system of ruinous
espionage ? If so, the sooner France addresses her
KING in language which shall have the effect of

restoring him to his natural reason the better. Powe r
turns the heads of some men.
The only accounts from the seat of war in Spain will
be found in the extracts from the French Journals.

It is one of the most remarkable signs of increasing
intelligence—one of the most cheering instances of the
progress of knowledge among the people—that no act
of tyranny can be perpetrated, no abuse of power made
public, no system of oppression acted upon, without
calling forth the abhorrence—the indignation of
the community. No matter under what sanction
the evil system is continued, or by what authority
it is enforced, the nation claims and exercises a
right, hitherto unknown, of condemning the one, and
directing the other. Power may wrest the laws, but
the same power only awakes the zealous scrutiny of
public opinion, which in the end is sure to raise the
sword and poise the scales of Justice. This is no
fiction, though there is a large portion of the
public press labouring under that impression, or who
at least would persuade the world of the little
influence of public opinion in the direction of public
affairs. And yet the number of years is very few since
the flogging of a common soldier would not have at-
tracted notice five paces outside a barrack-yard. Even '
in the recollection of many men now living, the public
would be judged mad—a fit subject for a strait waist-
coat—did it dare to censure an act of Drumhead autho-
rity which would hand over half the privates in a regi-
ment to be lashed to death by their companions in arms.
But, thank Heaven 1 such a time is past ; and the ty-
ranny attendant on it can never again be revived in
England. The spirit of despotism is no more—we
are a free nation—and as a proof of our fitness for free-
dom, our sympathies—our regard for the interests of
every member of the human family—our watchfulness,
and resentment of any species of wrong, keep pace
with our liberties. The veil with which tyranny
screened its atrocities we have torn from the face of
power—we want more than mere expediency to palliate
oppression—more than the solution of a difficulty to
sanction or even suffer brutality.
We are truly gratified to observe these signs of
public improvement—of general interest in the
administration of justice—so strongly manifested
as they now appear to be in the case of Pri-
vate HUTCHINSON, who underwent a second trial of
court-martial on Friday last, at St. George's Barracks,
Charing-cross, for desertion. This poor fellow, whose
dreadful flogging for raising his hand to a drunken
sergeant, who only a few days afterwards figured
as an infamous ruffian in a Police-office, was
on Thursday last, brought before Colonel Bo-
WATER, charged with deserting from his Regi-
ment, and running away with his boots, the part of
his regimental garb of which he had not divested
himself, prior to his desertion. The unfortunate
man, on being brought before a Magistrate, stated
that he was so miserable, after coming out of
the hospital, in consequence of the reproaches cast
upon him by his companions, that he was obliged to
desert, to escape the torture which he suffered. He
had only been nineteen days absent when he volun-
tarily surrendered himself at Windsor. As to the
misery which the poor man endured, we cannot
doubt its intensity ; nor do we know how it was
possible for him ever to raise his head in the
presence of an Officer by whom he had been dis-
graced. When brought up for trial a second time,
HUTCHINSON protested against the proceedings, on
account of the shortness of the notice he had received,
and likewise because of the absence of a material
witness—a sergeant of the company.lThese objections
were overruled by the Court in a way by no means cre-
ditable to the officers composing it, and the culprit was a
second time found guilty. The minutes of the
Court were sent to the War-office, from whence
we believe no answer has yet been returned.
We trust, as the matter is now in the
hands of the Government, that mercy will be shown
to a man whose crime, though a breach of military dis-
cipline, is certainly far from being tinged with depravity
of heart, or abandonment of principle. The country
is not an unobservant specator of this case, and will
take particular notice of how it will terminate.

The Sheffield Iris, alluding to the approaching fes-
tivities at Wentworth Castle, says, " the preparations
are on the most magnificent and extended scale. All
that a luxurious banquet, exquisite music, decoration,
and festive splendour can furnish, will be exhibited.
Amongst the distinguished individuals invited from this
town are the borough Members, and the beneficed clergy.
The latter body have declined being present. One
of them, however, could not let the opportunity pass,
without sermonising his Lordship on the sin and
wickedness of such anti-Christian doings, which pro-
duced a spirited reply from Earl FITZWILLIAM.
Several editions of the correspondence are in circula-
tion." We would give much to see this " corres-
pondence." It must be a treat in its way, as
rare as Panurge's speech, over his cups, in praise
of temperance. , No doubt the " beneficed clergy-
man" is sincere in his virtuous exhortations to
Earl FITZWILLIANI ! No doubt he sets an ex-
ample, in himself, of consummate abstinence ; shrinks
with a holy horror from a second course ; tastes the
flavour of sulphur and brimstone in Champagne or
Burgundy ; and sees Antichrist himself lurking in the
disguise of turtle l How scandalous, then, in Earl
I'ITZWILLIAM not to attend to the warnings of such
a monitor T. He must know—none better !—that
beneficed clergymen have at all times been remarkable
for their Apostolic contempt for the good things of
this life ; and we can only, therefore, account for his
contumacy by supposing that it is an instigation of the
Evil One. Thus regarding it, we cannot but shudder
at the awful results that are likely to flow from it.
Feasting is infectious, and Wentworth Castle having
led the way, who knows but that Howard Castle,
Mulgrave Castle,and indeed all the Castles in that
dinner-demoralized quarter of the kingdom, may
follow in the same anti-Christian track ? Pos-
sibly even less illustrious domiciles may catch the
contagion, and thus we shall have a flood of fes-
tive iniquity overspreading the north from one extre-
mity to the other. We protest, we repeat, our hearts
swoon within us at the contemplation of such horrors.
Like the beneficed Clergyman, we see in them the root
of all sin, and agree with him, that cook is Antichrist,
and starvation sanctity.

A plan is in embryo at Brighton for the establish-
ment of an institution for educating the daughters of poor
clergymen as governesses. It is proposed to receive 100
pupils, the daughters of poor clergymen, to be clothed,
boarded, and educated as governesses, at a charge of 201. per
annum to each pupil. Similar institutions have succeeded in
Westmorland and Gloucestershire, and we have no doubt that
it will meet with that encouragement in this town which its
importance requires. On Sunday morning, the Rev. Dr.
Everard, one of her Majesty's Chaplains, preached a sermon
at St. Andrew's Chapel in aid of the funds.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1834.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mrs. Mary Barnes, the woman who has been remanded
on two former occasions for extensive swindling, was this
morning brought before Sir F. ROE, when several charges
of robbery made against her, so that she now stands a very
fair chance of being sent to that country to which our
readers may recollect she was mainly instrumental in send-
ing her two sons, at the late Maidstone Assizes, for a rob-
bery at Gravesend.
Mrs. Underwood deposed that she and her husband,
who was an upholsterer, about three weeks ago, re-
sided in the house of a Mrs. Wilkens, at No. 20,
Wellington-place, Lambeth. The prisoner was a lodger
in the same house. One evening she had occasion to go
out, and, as she expected her husband home in the mean-
time, she left the key in the door, so that he might get in.
She had been gone about two hours ; and on her return
found the door locked and the key gone. She got in by
opening the door with one of her landlady's keys, and then
found that her drawers and boxes had been opened, and a
vast quantity of wearing apparel, and other property, was
taken away. The prisoner's rooms were opposite to her
own ; and on making repeated inquiries for her, it was
found that she bad disappered. The property now pro-
duced, consisting of a silk umbrella, a boa, two pairs, of
trowsers, a vest, a shawl, a silk dress, and various other
things, was the property of her husband. There was a
silver watch lost on the same occasion. It was produced
by a pawnbroker.
Pollee constable F. 153, took the prisoner into custody
at the Golden Cross, Charing Cross, where she had en-
gaged a bed. The boxes in which the property produced
was found, she acknowledged as her property.
An apprentice to T. Wood, pawnbroker, produced a watch
identified by Mr. Underwood. He could not identify prisoner
as the person who pledged it, but the duplicate found in
her box was that given when it was pledged.
The prisoner, who is a middle-aged woman, had a solici-
tor in attendance ; she said nothing in her defence, and
was fully committed upon the charge, and the parties
bound over to prosecute.
Several other cases were gone into, and upon two more
the evidence was considered complete, so she was also corn.
mitted upon them.
The office was crowded with her victims, but as these
were more serious charges, those for swindling were not
gone into.
