for a Roman Catholic and a Collar-maker ? Those
itinerant bigots, O'Sullivan and Co., will surely take
care in their future exhibitions to " lag in" this null-

of an approaching massacre of Protestants in tlit;:-

the meantime our Tory conteiliporaries have incontro-
vertibly proved that a transfer of the of
this country has been
made by the _Melbonnie
Ministry from Tilling William to King Daniel. Mo-
'.2.lists have always told us that Crowns arc mere gew-
gaws. William the Fourth will now bear testiniony
to the truth of the doctrine, for though the Crown still
encircles his head, it is of no value ; all the power
which was supposed to centre in it, is possessed by
another. The order of things has been reversed—a
subject has virtually become King, and the King a
subject—so, at least, say the Tories, who are con-
fessedly the best judges in all matters pertaining to

What we stated some days ago regarding the meeting
at Toplitz of the three northern, or " eastern" poten-
tates, as the Frankfort organ of one of them has lately
designated the trio, has since become abundantly
manifest. After a few days' stay in that fashionable
watering-place of Germany, spent chiefly in country
excursions and outdoor diversion, the three Sovereigns
were about to take leave of each other during the first
week of the present month, on their way each to his
own home, excepting indeed the King of Prussia,
who is in the yearly habit of staying some weeks at
Toplitz for the benefit of the mineral waters, whose
virtues have given such:great celebrity to the place. No
Ministerial conferences were held, and if any political
questions have undergone discussion, it must have been
in that conversational form which is not meant to lead to
any specific result. Messrs. Nesselrode, Ancillon, and
Metternich, no doubt found abundant leisure to talk
over matters which did not immediately concern the
interests of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and care-
fully avoided any allusion to questions which did ma-
terially concern the States in question. The affairs of
Spain were probably the chief topic of diplomatic
comment, and all agreed that Spain, all along so
happy, prosperous and flourishing under the regime
of the devouring monks, the Inquisition,-and monar-
chical absolutism, is on the eve of losing those bless-
ings through the fury of the constitutional mania,
which has so unaccountably and suddenly seized the
great majority of that portion of the population who
are capable of exercising a thought. But however
deplored were the principles of civil liberty which are
gaining ground in Spain, it is impossible that the
lesson afforded by the decay into which that country
had rapidly fallen after the re-establishment of Fer-
dinand's naked authority in 1823, should have been
lost on so practised and acute a statesman as Prince
Metternich. He cannot be the only man in Europe
who has not had eyes to see the withering effects of
the thirteen years' restoration on poor misgoverned
Spain. We think it quite impossible that Prince
Metternich would be one of the advisers of a league
for placing Don Carlos on the throne of Spain, and
depriving the Spanish people of every chance of
progress in the career of amelioration which a
free and constitutional regime can alone open to them.
As to the Ministers of the Czar, whether it is through
the means of the Inquisition and an army of monks,
or through the more energetic blessings of the knout,
that despotism is to be upheld, it is not the less fit in
their estimation to prevail among mankind. They are
seldom at a loss for arguments to prove that the world
will be going upside down if nations are to take it into
their heads to be governed according to their own
notions of what suits them best. We cannot
forget an article which appeared some years ago in the
Ministerial organ of St. Petersburgh, Le Conser.
vateur Impartial, the object of which was to show
that civilization can only flourish under ,Ift, despotic
monarchy, and barbarism is the lot of' the people whO"
presume to maintain the right of governing themselves.
As the paper in question is published in French, this
precious article was evidently intended to enlighten
the darkness of the barbarous populations of the west
of Europe, and not to convince the philosophic minds
of the Moojicks of civilized Russia. It happens
luckily, however, that the single influence of Russia
is of small avail in the balance of any great poli-
tical questions which may agitate the west of Eu-
rope ; so that, whether she desire it or not, we have
not to fear that Spain will be brought back again to
a retrograde system on her account. The Ministers
of each of the three Powers, then, after an exchange
of their sentiments, their wishes, and their hopes, in
regard to any matters touching the north, west, or
south of Europe, have parted without even so much
as hinting that any necessity exists that they should
confer together in a more formal way. The meeting
both at Kalisch and at Toplitz was, as we said on a
former occasion, brought about solely at the sugges-
tion of the Emperor of Russia. It is lie who had
imagined the military spectacle at Kalisch, with the
view of impressing the rest of Europe, or more pro-
perly speaking, England and France, with the close-
ness of the union between the three absolutist Sove-
reigns of the North, and displaying an array of the
military force which it was in their power to bring
into the field. Really England and France must have
stood in great awe before the 30,000 or 40,000 bar-
barian hordes of Calmouks, Tartars, Bashkirs, and
incomplete regiments of infantry, mho figured at the
reviews of Kalisch T. It required three times that
number of Russian troops to take possession of War-
saw, and once more to enslave unhappy Poland ; and
even the 120,000 men had to fight desperately, and
to go through the hardships of two campaigns, before
they could make sure of ultimate success ; nor would
they have succeeded even so soon without the abun-
dant aid derived through the manifest partiality of the
King of Prussia in favour of his son-in-law. It is
said in some of the French papers of Monday that
the project of a matrimonial alliance between the eld-
est daughter of the Emperor Nicholas, Princess Olga,
whose age is 18, and her cousin, Prince William of
Prussia, a nephew of the King of Prussia, is among
the fruits of the imperial and royal meeting at Toplitz;

identical Prince Paskewitsch who conducted the last
campaign against the unfortunate Poles, and took

kingdom, has been used by Russia since the fall of
Warsaw, but it was on a single occasion, and for the
very modest purpose of claiming of France a pre,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

James Prior, the Leadenhall-market porter, who, it will
be recollected, was some time ago charged by Mr. Kemp,
of 43, Little Eastcheap, upon suspicion of having been
concerned with a gang of thieves near the market in rob-
bing that gentleman of a pocket-book containing country
bank notes to the amount of 351., was brought before the
LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen two heads of
horns, the property of Mr. Lawrence.
William Wisdom, a man engaged in the market, as he
was at work saw the prisoner take two heads of horns which
lay amongst a heap, the property of Mr. Lawrence, and
lay them down in a secret place below a staircase.
The prisoner acknowledged that he had taken the horns,
but he thought they belonged to the person whose horns he
was working at. He had, however, not hidden them, but
merely chucked them amongst those of his employer. He
then began to speak of the excellence of his character, and
the total absence of all suspicion as to his integrity.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, here you are convicted of
robbing the very gentleman whom on your examinat.on for
another offence you spoke of as ready to give you a most
excellent character. I must send you to Bridewell for two
—,onths to hard labour.—Committed.
