MR. O'CONNELL AND THE MINISTRY.—
A report that Mr. O'Connell is about to join
the Grey Administration has been bandied about
;luring the past week. The Ministerial journals
deny, hand the Standard asserts, its truth. We
ear ; however, that this news is too good to be
'fine. We fear that personal feelings of jealousy
and dislike have too much influence in the
minds of some of our rulers, to suffer them to
use the best means of governing Ireland like a
civilized nation. Yet it is the duty of men who
have incurred the responsibility, and reap the
honour and advantage of controlling our na-
tional councils, to disregard all personal preju-
dice whatsoever, and to aim steadily at the great
object of governing the land upon rational and
statesmanlike principles. It is impossible not
to see that one of the greatest political blunders
in the government of Ireland has been t ex-
clusion of Mr. O'Connell from office. He is
the only man who has the power to render the
people of that country in some degree satisfied
with the intentions at least of the Ministry to-
wards them. Mr. O'Connell is conscious of his
power. He knows well that he is the foremost
man of his native country. He has talents,
energy, and information, that place him far
above all his competitors. He is, in point of fact,
the ruler of Ireland : why, then, not make him so
legally ? Why not attempt to rule Ireland
through his agency, and make her pacification
the source of honour and emolument to him ?
The Ministry, no doubt, have been deluded by
the expectation that he would soon break down.
The last elections, it was supposed, would anni-
hilate his influence. It was even confidently
stated that his own return to the new Parliament
was in jeopardy; and songs of triumph resounded
from the Ministerial and Orange quarters at the
anticipated defeat of the unruly Dictator. This
delusion appears to have been kept up to the
very day of election ; for ail return of the Con-
servative and castle candidates was even then
announced to be certain. But the result of the
contest for Dublin, and the return in various
ports of the country of twice as many of his
nominees as ever the most powerful borough-
monger pushed into the House under the old
system, must at last have convinced even the
presumptuous and inexperienced Mr. Stanley,
that he and his colleagues are fighting an un-
equal and losing battle. The real state of the
question with regard to the government of Ire-
land is simply this. If the Ministry se-
cure the co-operation of Mr. O'Connell, the
people will place confidence in their good in-
tentions, and patiently wait for the promised
measures of relief and amelioration. If, on the
contrary, they still see their idol shut out from
the temple of power, they will not credit the
oracle nor obey the commands of its priests,
though they spoke with the tongues of angels.
The Times sneers at the idea of any union being
formed between the Rulers of England and the
Agitator of Ireland. They treat the question
as a personal one between Mr. O'Connell and
Earl Grey. But it ought not to be considered
in that light. The question for the Premier to
answer is, who would be my most able coadjutor
in the government of Ireland ? If an arrange-
ment can be made with this person, whoever he
may be, is it statesmanlike, or justifiable, to
allow personal pique to prevail over my sense of
duty ?—Spectator.

This was an action against the acceptor of a bill of ex-
change for 3001. The drawer of the bill, it appeared,
who is an attorney and a relation of the defendant, having
occasion to raise a sum of 1,200/. in 1829, obtained ac-
commodation bills to that amount from the defendant. He
rook one of them, the bill in question, to the plaintiff, a
grocer in James-street, Bedford-row, whe had previously
discounted paper for him, and to whom he then owed
about 2701., to have it discounted. The plaintiff said hr
could not get it discounted, as it was not mule payable at
a banker's, but he would send it to his own bankers, and
see what could be done with it. Before the bill fell due
the drawer requested the defendant to prevent his bankers
from presenting it for payment for fear the defendant
should be displeased and refuse to give him the accommo-
dation of his name again. The bill was accordingly not
presented, but remained in the plaintiff's possession as a
security for the debt of 2701. The question now was,
whether the drawer lodged the bill with the plaintiff as
such security before or after the maturity of the bill.
The Jury returned a vet dict for the plaintiff—Damage s
3001.

Mr. Sergeant JONES submitted to his Lordship that the
plaintiff could only take a verdict for the 270/. for which
the bill had bee■ lodged as security.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW, on the other hand, contended
that he was entitled to recover the amount of the bill, and
50/. interest.

After some discussion on this point, his Lordship allowed
the plaintiff to take a verdict for 2701. and interest, making
together 3151., giving the defendant leave to move the
Court above to reduce the damages to 2701.

HOLLOWAY V. SPAIN.

This was an action brought by a servant girl against the
defendant, a farmer living near Canterbury, to recover
between 2/. and 3/. for wages. The defence was that the
plaintiff, after repeated warnings not to stay out later than
9 o'clock at night, whenever she get a holyday, had re-
mained out all night until half-past 5 o'clock in the
morning, on which the defendant refused to take her hack.

The excuse given by the defendant for her absence was,
that she had been taken ill at the house of a man named
West (whose son was at that time keeping company with
her), and was thereby prevented from returning home in
proper time. The mother would not swear that the
plaintiff, who is unmarried, was not now in the family
way. For the defendant, a fellow servant of the plaintiff
was called, who had repeatedly heard the plaintiff warned
by bar master and mistress, when she stayed out after 9
o'clock ; notwithstanding which, on the night in question
she did not return at all until next morning. At half.
past 5 o'clock, she came in at the back door, and told wit-
ness the reason she had not come borne the night before
was because when she went to West's house she found no
body below stairs, so she went up to Mrs. West's bed-
room, and there saw a little old man in bed, who looked
so ugly that he frightened her into fits.—(Laughter.)
Upon witness observing that had she had fits she would
not have been able to walk home at that hour of the morn-
ing, the plaintiff replied that if she had not bad fits she
must have fainted, because she felt so funny.—(Laughter.)
The Learned Counsel on both sides having addressed the
Jury, they returned a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 2.

KERR V. MACQUEEN.

This was an action to recover a compensation in da.
tnages for the non-performance of an agreement. The
plaintiff, whose case was conducted by Mr. R. V. Ricis.
ARDS and Mr. MARTIN, was a firmer or reeve in East
Lothian, in Scotlind ; and the defendant, Thomas Porter
Ai icqueen, who was defended by Sergeant COLERIDGE and
Mr. Hoccuis, was Member for the county of Bedford.

The defendant was owner of an estate in New South
Wales, consisting of several thousand acres, and, being
very much dissatisfied with the manner in which it was
managed, he consulted his fri-nd Mr. Stuart Donaldson,
who advised him to procure an active, intelligent young
man from one of the farming counties in Scotland to go
over to New South Wales, and take the management of
the defendant's property there, and he mentioned the
plaintiff as a proper person to be so engaged. The de-
fendant approved of the advice, and the plaintiff returned
to Scotland, relinquished his situation there, which was
worth 1001. a year, declined taking another situation of
the same value ; but made his arrangements for his voyage
and returned to London in April, 1831. The plaintiff, how-
ever, at this time had altered his mind, and the defendant
offered terms of compromise, with which the p►aintiff was
dissatisfied, as he had reason to be, considering the situa-
tion he had given up. Under these circumstances, the
Learned Counsel submitted that the plaintiff was entitled
to considerable damages.
Mr. Stuart Donaldson proved the substance of the
Counsel's statement.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301.

PROPHECY.—Persons who have seen the
part which the Globe has lately taken -against
the ballot, will be amused with the following ex-
tract from that consistent paper of a date so re-
cent as May, 1831, in comment on Lord
Chandos's clause :
" The majority of tenants from year to year, of large
farms, we believe to be independent, and the admission to
those who are not independent to the franchise would lead to
the speedy introduction of the ballot, more infallibly than
any other expedient that could be devised—and the ballot
would make them independent also."
Thus, the efficiency of the ballot was in 1831
assumed by the Globe, which continues prophe-
tically : _ _

HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, FEB. t

" There would be on the very first struggle many in-
stances of tenants voting in opposition to the wisher of
their landlords—and many instances of harsh notices to
quit consequent on these votes. Then would come such
a demand for the ballot. as the Parliament, if it were
disposed, could not resist."

THE ANDROMEDA.

The KING'S ADVOCATE, with whom were Dr. PHILLI-
MORE, and Mr. BETHELL, on the part of the appellants,
stated that this was an appeal of vital importance, not
only to the highly meritorious class of individuals who
were the appellants, but also to the public in general,
whose lives or properties might be endangered by ship-
wreck. It was an appeal against a sentence of the Court
of Admiralty, which not only deprived the appellants, who
were the masters and crews of several Kentish smacks, of
al remuneration for services by themselves and •esiela, but
affixed the stigma of crime upon them. The Learned
Advocate detailed, that in the Court below, Pearson, as
proctor for the claimants, alleged that a large ship, called
the Andromeda, having, through mismanagement, got
upon the Shingles-sand, near Margate, his parties, by their
skill and labour, succeeded in getting her off into a place
of safety, and were therefore entitled to a compensation as
salvors, while French, as proctor for the owners of the
ship, contended that no real services had been rendered by
the alleged salvors, but that they had fraudulently endea•
voured to keep the ship on the sand instead of getting her
off, and had thereby put his parties to great expense, and
were consequently entitled to nothing; that when the
case canoe on in the Court of Admiralty, the Judge being
assisted b) two Trinity Masters, whose opinions were
i(iverse to the claims of the salvors, pronounced sentence
against them, and the Learned Advocate now at great
length insisted on the injustice of such sentence.
Mr. BETHELL urged that the sentence must be reversed,
unless the appellants were believed to have been guilty of
an offence little short of piracy.

. -
However false the Globe may be as a politi-
cian, we believe it in this instance to have been
a true p; ophet. We have at hand many other
specimens of its past opinions curiously opposite
to its present doctrines; but it is in the nature
of things that the Globe should turn round, as
we remarked some years ago when it quarrelled
with us about the character of Peel, which it
loved for an affinity to its own slippery ways.—
Examiner.

The Marquis of CONYNGHAM , who, it is
understood will move the Address to his :MAJESTY to-
morrow in the House of Lords, will make his maiden
speech on the occasion. As Earl of MOUNTCHARLES,
and Member for the county of Donegal, he voted in favour
of the first Reform Bill, on which measure his father, the
late Marquis, did not manifest his opinion, the declining
state of his health having prevented him from taking the
oaths and his seat in the House of Lords. Lord KIN-
NAIED, the reported seconder of the Address, is an Eng-
lish Peer of Earl GREY'S creation. His Lordship was
formerly a Lieutenant in the 2d Life Guards, and early
irnhiried liberal principles from his regretted relative, the/
late Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD, whose fortunes the Noble
Baron inherits.

„
NEW PLEA.—At the late General Quarter
Sessions for Westmoreland, holden at Appleby, JOHN
BLACK pleaded ” partly guilty, and partly not guilty," of
stealing two sacks of flour. The pleasantry exhibited in
the rogue's countenance, on delivering his impartial plea,
was suddenly changed, on being told by the Chairman
that it would not avail him to plead thus, " He must say
guilty of the crime charged, or not guilty."—" Why,
I'se guilty, then," uttered infix, and could not be pre-
vailed on to withdraw his confession. He was sentenced
to be imprisoned six months, and kept to bard labour.

Dr. DODSON and Dr. J. AnnArsts, on the part of the
respondents, at considerable length supported the opinions
given by the Trinity Masters.
The Juno ES, after consulting for some time, directed
that Mes-rs. Williams and Bethell, the appellants' soli-
citors, should be required to point out such masters of
smacks as were themselves also the owners of them, in
order that the Court might the better assess a compensa-
tion, which being done, the delegates pronounced their
judgment, reversing the sentence of the Court of Admi-
ralty, and awarding 1,0001. to the appellants, together
with the costs and expenses of both the appeal and suit
blow.

BANKRUPTCY CO Fn. -s\
.;I\yAN
A bankrupt named Henry Sa *ha carried on the "\
business of a cheesenaonger at rOxford-tt4et, histi
."11,11.11n0v during the last week been exaMine k"-"several times (' for
having disposed of his property to th;Nnjury of his cr4Tf'"
Itn ditors. The bankrupt did not surrender till last Fria
which was the day fixed for his last examination. It
appears that the bankrupt, after having obtained goods for
his shop to a very considerable amount, some expensive
furniture, and various articles of plate. upon a promise
that be would pay for them on delivery, or at very short
dates, disposed of his house and business to a person
named Gadsden without the knowledge of his creditors,
and suddenly quitted this country for France, accompanied
by his wife, where he remained till a short time since. On
appearing before Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE he re-
quested time to prepare a statement of his affairs. but
Mr. Hutchison, the solicitor for the fiat and the ere
ditors, opposed the application, and the Commissioner
having refused to comply with the bankrupt's request, he
was examined. He stated that he had known Gadsden
from his infancy. He left the house in Oxford street on
the morning of Sunday, the 25th of November last, and
went to "'ranee, accompanied by his wife. His wife's
mother is a grocer in Oxford-street. He had failed in
business before, and compromised with his credi•ors,
by
paying them 6s. Sd. in the pound. He had between 3001.
and 4001. when he started fur Paris, on the 24th of No-
vember, the whole of which he had spent in travelling in
England and France. He frequented the gaming tables at
Paris, and lost about 601. at rouge-et-noir, ecorte, whist,
roulette, cribbage, piquet, and pigeon-shooting.
The bankrupt was desired to give some further explana-
tion of the manner in which he had disposed of the 300/.
or 4001, and he replied, " I paid for learning the French
language—l mean for imposition, 125/., and the re-
mainder I expended in eating and drinking, cab-hire,
hort4-hire, and living, and clothes for myself and wife."
CommisstoNEß—What do you mean by the expression
" for imposition 1251. ?"
Bankrupt—lt is generally supposed, and no doubt is a
well.known fact, that Englishmen going to France, and
who are not acquainted with the language and customs of
the country, pay double and treble for pleasure, and every
thing that is necessary for comfort and convenience. I
mean, also, that the ways of the country are very expen-
sive, and I haven() other explanation to give.
The COMMISSIONER. feeling dissatisfied with the account
given by the bankrupt, the case was on Friday last re-
ferred to a Subdivision Court, consisting of Commis-
sioners Merivale, Holroyd, and Fonblanque, who made an
order for the bankrupt's committal to Newgate, there to
r-main till he gives full and true answers to the questions
put to him.

COURT OF EXCISE, FEB. 2.

THE KING V. MICHAEL REARDON.
The defendant was charged upon an Excise information
with unlawfully carrying on an illicit distillery by means
of private stills for the manufacture of spirits.
The COURT adjudged that the stills and goods seized
ghould be condemned to the use of the Crown, an i amerced
the defendant in the full penalty of 1001.

ESCAPE OF SOLOIIONS TILE RECEIVER 01' STOLEN
GOODS.-111r. Nobler, jun., applied to the Lour) MAvoit
br the restitution of some property belonging to Ben-
j min Solomons, unJer the following circumstances
Mr. Cope, the Marshal, having received intelligence
that a great deal of stolen property was concealed on the
premises of Benjamin So'omons, in Petticoat-square,
Petticoat-lane, procured a search warrant, and took with
him Daniel Forrester, one of the most efficient officers of
the City, and between three and four o'clock on Thursday,
entered the suspected premises. The moment Solomon, saw
them he started off, but was caught in the arms of Forres-
,er. He, however, slipped out of his coat, and contrived to
escape at the hack door. Forrester called out to Mr.
Cope to secure the coat above all thing, as from the
ii,joldttosfof Mit,nr. Sulm
osdouhoteoxniss ndteadasottherots of theheimporftaannieileyotfo
the
contents of the pockets. Forrester, perceiving that Mrs.
Solomon, in a great hurry broke a string which was
round her neck, made a snatch at a watch which was at
the end of it; but the lady immediately dashed her
hand through the window, and the watch was as quickly
received by a hand on the outside. Mr. Cope, with great
'lifficulty, contrived to keep possession of the coat. A
little girl had wrapped herself round and round in it so
completely, that Forrester was obliged to rap her hard
upon the knuckles. Several attempts were made by So-
lomons' family to get the coat piecemeal; but the officers,
tlthough unassisted, and amidst a crowd of adversaries,
succeeded in carrying it off. In the pockets Mr. Cope
f,und forty-four sovereigns, four five pound notes of the
Bank of England, and a 501. note, which had been stolen
.ut of the iron safe of a chytnist who resides in Hounds_
ditch.

Mr. nobler, jun., stated, that as the sovereign• which
had been found in thecoat of Solomons, could not be claimed
I>y any body who had been plundered, the Lord Mayor
would be justified in restoring them to Mrs. Solomon,.
The Loan 'MAYOR said, that if Mr. Solomon, wanted
the sovereigns, the best thing he could do, was to apply
in person at the Justice•room for them, and no doubt
his claim would be taken into very serious considera-
tion.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Ilobler, the Chief Clerk, observed, that although
the warrant upon which the house had been entered might
not have included any thing but the articles of jewellery
is the object of search, the Lord Mayor was authorized to
detain the cash, on the suspicion that it might be the pro-
luce of the stolen property.
The Loan MAYOR said, that he would rather get hold
of one culprit like Solomons, than a hundred of the com-
mon pickpockets, and other thieves, who are made and
encouraged by the facilities of disposing of plunder.
It was stated to his Lordship that, in all probability,
Solomons would never be retaken. It had been ascer-
t nned that that receiver had determined to set off in the
spring for Van Diemen's Land, where several of his family
,vere in affluence derived from their great success in the
encouragement of housebreakers.

The LORD MAYOR Sincerely hoped that Benjamin So-
lomons would not escape tie pursuit of justice, and ,x-
-pressed the utmost confidence in the exertions of Mr. Cope
and Daniel and John Forrester.

As Solomons has a great ......d of money, no expec-
tations are formed of the capture of no dexterous and re-
solute a person, who has the character of being more
clever at concealing " swag,'' even than his brother Ikey,
whose case a few years ago excited so much curiosity.
The property which Mr. Cope and Daniel Forrester
went to look for was that of Mr. Wheeler, of Bartlett's-
buildings, consisting of chronometers and articles of jewel-
lery, which had been stolen a short time ago, to the value
of above 1,0001., under circumstances of rather an extra-
ordinary kind. Mr. Wheeler had in his employment a
person in whom he had reposed great confidence, and
whose integrity, we are given to understand, he bas no
reason to question. This servant had the care of the
h-,use, and he happened to have a relative, a young lad,
who lived with him, and with whom a gang of thieves
became acquainted, through means of a boy of his own age.
The decoy, by representing to the young fellow the riches
which would come to him in the event of accomplishing
a robbery of the premises, prevailed upon hint to let in
the gang while his relation was asleep. A proposal hail
been made to him to adtninister a dose to Mr. Wheeler's
confidential servant, to set that person asleep ; but the lad,
apprehensive that the dose which his new acquaintanc e
wished him to apply would cause too long a sleep, refuse st
to adopt such means.

Sir John Ladd the foreman of Mr. Ganthony, the
chronometer-maker, of C:ieapside, was brought up for final
examination, charged with havii.g robbed his master of a
number of gold and silver watches, which he had pawned
at the shops of a great number of pawnbrokers.
Evidence was given of a great variety of cases, and the
Lord Mayor fully committed him for trial.

KANTURK POLICE.—The information taken
