SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

When we mentioned on Saturday, that no-
thing but a list of the killed or massacred was
wanting to render the late outrage at Clitheroe
more atrocious than that of Manchester in 1819,
we spoke advisedly on the subject : we spoke
after a mature examination of the facts, and from
my desire to give undue importance to any of our
statements by exaggeration. We have repeatedly
demonstrated the wickedness and the folly of
those pretences which have been set lip in pallia-
tiou of the Manchester massacre ; but we have
no such task to perform in the present instance.
In the recent outrage at Clithero, no one will
pretend to find more than the characters of a
common electinneering riot, till the Hussars
were called in to attack the people. There can
be made out no justifiable pretence for requiring
military aid. The life of nobody was threatened,
nor was property injured. There is not even
an allegation that revolutionary anarchy would
have taken place, or that the constitution would
have been endangered, by Mr. Irving's
failure to inoculate a body of reforming
cotton-spinners with Tory principles. If
there was any pretext for magisterial inter-
ference or military execution, it was in the
morning, when Mr. Irving had made what he
had anticipated would be his triumphant entry.
This morning's riot had ceased—the unpopular
candidate had retreated—the people had dis-
persed—the quiet of the town had been restored
—the master manufacturers had left their men

in the perfect confidence that all was over—they
had gone to their homes and resumed their usual
avocations, when, four hours alter the repulse of
Mr. Irving, the cry was heard, " The military
are upon us," and when the original cause of
the disturbance, the very matter of the riot, was
brought back by a detachment of cavalry riding
through the streets at a hand gallop, brandish-
ing their sabres and spreading dismay among the
terrified multitude. We present in our paper
to day, faithful and detailed narratives of these
lamentable transactions, from the tw6 most ex-
tensive manufacturers of Clithero; men of
unquestionable respectability, together with
depositions of persor.s who suffered by
the violence of the military, or who wit-
nessed the cruelties inflicted on their neigh-
bours. These narratives seem to us to be
drawn up with a scrupulous regard to truth,
with a scrupulous avoidance not only of mali-
cious exaggeration, but of party colouring, and
with every desire to see justice done by a neces-
sary investigation into the conduct of the Ma.
gistrates, without any transgression of the cour-
tesy due to these Magistrates, by the use of any
such epithets as their conduct might appear to
have warranted. We beg particularly to direct
attention—

Ist. To the fact, tint after the cavalcade of Mr. Irving
had passed Clithrro in the forenoon, the crowd had dis-
persed, and no disturbance occurred till its return with
the menacing force of the dragoons in the evening.
2. To the fact, that though an unjustifiible outrage
was offered to Mr. Irving and his friends on their first
entry, nobody could complain of being hurt, and therefore
no military force was required to apprehend the authors of
any criminal violence.
3. That there could he no object in returning to rescue
any. of Mr. Irving's friends, blockaded at the inn of
Ci-
thero, for it is in evidence that no attempt was made to
injure them—that the Chief of them did not even )(row of
the insult offered to the Honourable Gentleman himself
till be had left the town, and that be himself escaped with
safety before the riot had been appeased.
4. That Mr. Irving, though he were the most stupid
and insane creature in existence, could not expect to pro-
mote the (I bj«cts of his election by attempting to harangue
in tie evening, under the protection of a detachment of
dragoons, the same people who would not listen to him in
the morning, when he came attended only by a peaces' le
cavalcade of his friends.

5. That in the opinion of the people of Clitheroe, the
only object of the return of the Hon. Gentleman, attended
with a posse of lay and clerical magistrates, and supported
by 50 sabres, was to punish the inhabitants of that •place
for their morning insults—to take revenge for their past
misconduct, as soon as an adequate -force could be pro-
cured—and to inspire the friends of the lielmining casdi-
date with a proper respect for his Tory antagonist.
And if.this were really the object, how foolish
a;, well as_ savage must they have been who con-
ceived it ! A mob is not, even for a quarter of
an hour, an identical body. The men, women,
and children who were Sabred- at six or seven
o'clock in the evening, may not have been, and
in all probability were not, the men, women, and
children who had the criminal audacity to hiss
the honourable gentleman and his friends at one
o'clock in the day. But the chief point for
consideration in this affair is, that the proposition
to send for the military originated with the magis-
trates,—that these same magistrates were persons
in the electioneering procession of Mr. Irving,
—that therefore their personal feelings were too
much engaged to take an impartial view of tin it
official situation as guardians of the King's peace,
—that five or six of them returned with the
troops,—and that so little was there of danger
before they had provoked hostility, that one of
them, Colonel Clayton, was seen walking with-
out molestation in the streets after the fray had
begun ! These magistrates, therefore, must be
called upon to give an account of their conduct.
Six of them were present. They were all Tories.
They were ail the canvassing friends of Mr.
Irving. The only magistrate in the neighbour-
hood who is of opposite principles, was not
invited to aid in quelling the alleged tumult. They
bad evidently represented to the soldiers that the
disturbance was greater than it really was, because
they entered the town with drawn sabres, where
there was no resistance. They had resisted the
advice of the Bailiff or Mayor, Mr. Garstang,.
who, though a Tory, and a friend of Mr.
Irving's principles, had objected to the entrance
of the dragoons, as likely to create a riot which
did not exist. racy put forward a clerical Ma-
gistrate to read the Riot Act, who ultimately
behaved well in restraining the fury of the troops,
whom he ought not to have at first introduced.
In such circumstances, we sty that the Magis-
trates ought to be put upon their trial, and re-
quired to prove that personal passion and a sense
of wounded pride were not stronger motives of
action on this lamentable occasion, than a sense
of duty, or a desire to preserve order. Such
au acknowledged outrage demands inquiry. The
blood of Englishmen has been unnecessarily
shed, and the Government must ascertain how
far the Magistrates encouraged, or could have
prevented, this tragical occurrence.—Times.

The "Established Church" is in a fair way of
being pulled down, unless her proprietors con-
sent to en immediate and thorough repair of
the old and wcrn out materials with which it is
constructed. Saturday last, the last day of busi-
ness of the old system of corrupt Parliaments,
seals the ultimate doom of a corrupt Hierarchy,
if the sacred" edifice is not re-built or re-
paired by the forthcoming House of Commons.
The quaint old author of the Religia Stoki
says, " most of all churches do lace themselves
vo stiff' and tight, that they bring on
.a consump-
tion." If Ministers are determined to uphold
the Protestant Establishment in 'Catholic Ire-
land, it requires not the gift of prophecy to fore-
see that twelve months will achieve its full 'and
utter subversion. The religious economy of the

present age will determine the people to pay for
and choose their own faith, and not to contribute
to the maintenance of a secular system. of religion
from which different classes conscientiously dis-
sent. Scotland was early absolved from ecclesi-
astical domination, and unless the mode of sup-
porting the Church of England by tithes be radi-
cally altered—if the ritual, discipline, and creeds
of the Establishment be not early made more
conformable to the spirit of the times—the
Hierarchy will speedily fall to pieces. No
Administration, whether Whig or Tory,
can much longer blink the question ; Mr.
Stanley may attempt to prop up with his
shoulders the Irish Church, but it will break his
back before the expiration of the year 1833. The
chapter of revelations is open before him if he
will but read it. The recent political conduct
of the Bishops—the infatuated blindness of the
Right Reverend Prelates to even the shadows
of coming Reform—have contributed not a little
to the unpopularity of the Church, and to the
notorious and wide-spreading animosity con-
stantly displayed towards the Clergy. It is in
vain for the Tory prints to rate the lower classes
' of the city of Canterbury for their late outrage
on the person of the Primate, and their ludi-
crous, though vulgar attempt to purloin his
Grace's wig that they might carry it in proces-
sion before his Palace ; such acts are indefensi-
ble and scandalous, but who are the real and
original sinners ? NWe say the Clergy ! The
professors of the State Religion have been ever
the subservient tools of the political enemies of
the people; they have coveted every unpopular
secular office in the Magistracy and Corpora-
' lions; they mostly regard their calling as a trade ;
their colleges and schools of education have
maintained a system of exclusion and pedantic
learning which turned the Clergy out into the
lorld bigots in opinion, and tyrants in the towns
arid villages. They have kept the people in
moral arid political ignorance, and till late years
discouraged elementary education. They would
abridge the people of all sound information
which could make them patriotic citizens or true
Christians. Is it, then, matter of surprise that
the flocks should now turn upon the wolves ?
Verily, the Clergy are severely punished, and
the system of fagging will change hands.
The people begin to feel their power,
and in proportion to oppression they will deal
out retribution. The Standard and Bull John
are most wrathful at the recent proceedings of
a Birmingham Vestry meeting. The pioneers of
that active population, having- done so much to
accomplish Parliamentary Reform, have now, it
appears, begun to throw up outworks to storm
the citadel of church abuses. We have inserted,
from the Birmingham Journal, the report of
the proceedings of the Vestry meeting, which
called forth the ire of our contemporaries. The
decision of the rate.payers not to provide the
I legal demands of the churchwardens, certainly
! treads close on the doctrine of " constructive re-
bellion," advanced by Lord Brougham, but the
correctness of which we nevertheless question.
The Birmingham rate-payers do not commit " re-
bellion ;" they are only converted to Quakerism,
and, with the Society of Friends, refuse to pay
b'it by the coercion of the law. And where will
thC church find a broker bold enough to sell up
the goods of 3,000 rate-payers, or buyers of such
an extensive furniture sale ? And if' the "goods"
are taken to the churches, in what way will the
congregations be accommodated at the Sunday
services? We refer our readers to the details
! of the meeting ; and the proceedings are the
more remarkable, because we do not see the
names of many influential gentlemen who have
headed the recent " agitation." The unanimous
feeling of the great assemblage present must
therefore have been voluntary and innate, as the
the churchwardens who proposed the rejected
rate are or were members of the council of the
Political Union ! The times are indeed changed,
since Tories could excite Church and King mobs
in Birmingham. The clergy, when there was no
cause, set up the cry of " Church in danger !"
The cry of " wolf" will not now avail them,
though the danger is palpable.—Morn. Chron.

We beg to invite the attention of our readers
to the very full and interesting intelligence which
an adjoining column, under the proper head, will
be found to supply, upon the subject of Portugal
and the hopes of Portuguese liberty. In this
mass they will see letters from our correspondents
at Falmouth, Oporto, and Lisbon, together with
the official details of such military transactions
as have occurred hitherto in the interests of the
Usurper, all of which joined to and collated with
•the representations of the other side, will leave
nothing more to be desired as to the hopes and
fears of the two pa►ties whose passions and in-
terests are engaged in thepresent struggle, though
it may not add further light as to the accuracy of
the faCts which have been already stated. As
our communications are entirely of the descrip-
tive kind, it is unnecessary here to attempt any
lengthened summary of their contents, and,
therefore, with a very index-like glance at them,
we shall at once refer the reader to the documents
themselves. At the actual seat of war, then, it
would appear that very little change has taken
place in the position of the combatants since our
last notice of it, it amounting still to this—that
Don Pedro is at Oporto, confining himself within,
but fortifying that position—that he is organizing
his volunteers, who now form an effective body of
4,000 or 5,000 men, and receiving deserters,
who do not, however, confessedly come in
in any great numbers—that the Miguelite Ge-
neral, Santa Martha, is at Penafiel, in the neigh-
bourhood of Oporto, which he claims to call his
head-quarters, though with an army of 2,000
men—and that no collision,however trifling, has
taken place between the troops of the rivals since
the much-disputed affair of Vollonga, upon the
23d of July. With respect to that, we know
that the liberating army, though it was unable to
follow up its advantages, obtained an important
and undenied success ; and we now find, even in
the official reports of the tyrant's Generals, an
admission that, upon the 18;h and 23d (the first
affair of Major Hodges), actions had taken
place, in the first of which they only deny that
the enemy obtained any advantages, whilst the
latter Santa-Martha himself admits was a drawn
battle. This is in itself a most important cor-
roboration of the very moderate accounts put
forth by the Constitutionalists, for the fabricated
details as to the results, the numbers of killed,
wounded, and prisoners, on either side, must
of course be received, as coming from the
Gazette, with utter distrust. So much then
for the immediate seat of war. As regards
Li,boti, where popular demonstrations may now
so powerfully influence the result of the con-
flict, we leant that though things remained quiet,
the minds of the people were in a high state of
excitement, and it only required a little better
assurance to draw forth very general adhesions
to the Queen's cause. The tyrant's fleet of crazy
vessels, which has been so long tied up, had, it
appeared, caught by a feint of Admiral Sarto-
rius, at length ventured out to sea, and are by

this time, We expect, in the hands of their ene-
mies. This took place upon the 3d inst., but
as the vesses upon both sides had disappeared
from Lisbon, the result was not known at the
departure of the despatches; but from the re-
appearance of one of the blockading squadron
off the coast, its friends felt encouraged to in-
dulge the best hopes to the Constitutional cause.
The reports prevalent in Lisbon were all unfa-
vourable to Don Miguel, it being said, amongst
other things, that General I'ovoas had been
arrested and deprived of his command, either
for incapacity in the affair of Villa Flor at Va-
longo, (in which, by the way, the Gazette claims
equal advantages with the enemy,) or for disloy-
alty, as he was always known to be a liberal per-
son, and the sincerity of his attachment to the
Usuper was much doubted. It was also said that
Sir John Campbell had been offered Povoas'c (large,
but that upon making inquiry into the state of
the army, he found it so entirely disorganized
and ineffective that he declined the trust. It is
certain that at his recommendation some more
corps, with a much-wanted supply of money, had
already left Lisbon for the use of the Usurper's
troops nearOporto. From the orders recently given,
it would seem that Don Miguel means to make
the grand stand at Coimbra, which he is fortify-
ing; but Don Pedro has, for the reasons assigned
elsewhere, ordered a levy of 36,000 men in the
provinces north of
.the Douro, and with every
prospect of success. We. -shall look forward
with anxiety to the confirmations of the pre-
sumed naval successes of the Constitutional
fleet, which must reach us shortly. The friends
to the cause will not overlook the resources
which Don Pedro has found in the wine cellars
of Opo. to. Those and the prizes already taken
cannot but prove a most seasonable relief. His
little army is described as being still in the best
spirits, and most anxious to be again led against
the enemy. Even the official bulletins confess
its valour, and we trust decided success will have
soon rewarded its virtue and patriotism. The
ex-Emperor, it would appear, makes himself be-
loved by every body —Morning Herald.
The present Administration is certainly the
most unlucky that ever held sway in this country.
It was visited shortly after its birth with the
miserable failure of the Budget, and from that
time to the present the defalcation of the Reve-
nue, as compared with the expenditure, has been,
rapidly on the increase. It has almost consum-
mated the ruin of the colonies; it has lOst the
Church of Ireland ; white the non-interference

doctrine, on which the Ministers relied at their
accession to power, has been sported with, in-
fringed upon, and violated, till it has become a
subject of ridicule even with its authors. The
Reform of Parliament was, however, the giant
measure of the Administration ; to this all their
energies were applied. The unanimous call of
the nation was the excuse for dissolving Parlia-
ment in one session, for attempting to swamp
and annihilate the House of Lords in the next ;
and yet what has been its fate ? Lord Al thurp,
within a month of its passing, has attempted to
bring in a Bill to amend it, and Colonel Evans,
the great partisan of the measure, the ardent
supporter of the Administration, avowed, in
his speech of Thursday, Bth August, that " if
the present Bill be not altered, or some remedy '
to it devised, he much feared the people would
again be resorting to their threat of not paying
taxes, and a runfor gold." Was there ever so
impotent a conclusion? Was there ever

brought together in the Government of the Bri-
tish empire a set of people, calling themselves
Statesmen, who could bear up against such proofs
of their utter incapacity, who could venture to
continue in the service of the King after such
evidence of incompetency ? Lord Goderich was
far less unfortunate when he resigned his power;
and yet these incapables are still strong in the
conviction of their own superiority and of their
unrivalled talents. But let them prepare for it ;
a day of judgment will come upon them ; they
will have a heavy reckoning to liquidate.
While, however, this is preparing, let us inquire
what is passing in our foreign relations. Upon
this subject every body knows that the only two
very essential points of interest to England on
the Continent are the • following :—First, that
such an arrangement should take place as re-
gards the Belgian provinces that they shall be
secured against becoming either the prey or the
ally of France, and thus proving a means of ag-
gression upon England. Now, it is well known
that Leopold is in strict alliance with France,
that his army is officered in great part by French,
and yet that our Ministers are striving by every
means to put him in entire possession of that
country, and of all the fortifications and defences
which England has spent millions to establish as
a check upon the ambition and hostility of the
French people. The next essential point is,
that Portugal should be maintained in its close
alliance with England, and that the commerce of
the two countries should remain upon the footing
on which it has for so many years, to her exclusive
benefit, been established. Yet our Ministers have
openly fostered and covertly assisted the attack
upon that country by Don Pedro, who is in strict
alliance with the Government and Revolutionary
party in France, and, notwithstanding the strenu-
ous exertions of Spain and the other Continental
Powers, they have refused to join in an at-
tempt to accommodate the differences between
the pretenders to its Throne, or to avert the
chances of a civil war. By the announcement
to Spain that they had sent a fleet and a general
officer with his staff' to watch the neutrality of
Spain, the Ministers have brought upon them
selves the declaration of that country, that, in the
same spirit, it had assembled an army upon the
Portuguese frontier, and had sent officers to
Lisbon to watch over the neutrality of England ;
and from Austria, Russia, and Prussia they
have drawn a remonstrance incompatible with
the high station this country has heretofore main-
tained. At this very moment Count Palniella

_ .....
is in England for the purpose of recruiting Don
Pedro's forces, and of transmitting to him re-
sources of men, stores, and horses ; and yet
they continue to hold out to the country and to
Europe that they are strictly neutral. The ho-
nour of Great Britain is tarnished by such con-
duct, and the independent countries of the conti-
nent will see cause in the interfering character
of our Government to act towards it as Russia
has already done, in answer to the insults which
were offered to the Emperor in the House
of Commons, by stating that, if such
language were known to the people of that
country, the lives of the English throughout the
Russian empire would not be safe ; and there-
fore,olllymeans of protecting them, if
it occurred again, they would be desired to
as the
remove from it. How much longer is this sys-
tem of misrule and degradation to be inflicted
upon us ? For whose advantage are we to be
severed from the old and faithful allies with whom
England has been powerful, prosperous, and
respected? The answers to these questions are in
the womb of time ; but, when England awakes
from the delusion in which she has been held

lor the fast sixteen mouths, she will visit with a
heavy hand upon the authors of her misfortunes
the injuries they have done her.—Morn. Post.
It is with pain and regret that we refer to the
coeversation, and its result, which took place on
Saturday, respecting the disfranchisement of vo-
ters, in consequence of the non-payment of
rates and taxes--with pain because it exhibits a
degree of most culpable weakness, or negligence,
on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, which
cannot fail to produce upon the country a most
unfavourable impression of their general charac-
ter—and with regret, because, in consequence of
the refusal of the King's Ministers to bring in a
Bill for the relief of those who have failed to qualify
themselves as electors, the new constituency, un-
der the Reform Act, will be so greatly narrowed
as to render many of the new boroughs little
better -than rotten boroughs, and, at all events,
to place the voters, in many places, wholly
who completely at the mercy of those
who are inclined to sacrifice a valua-
ble privilege at the shrine of base gain,
or equally base interest. Such conduct was
neither expected from, nor is worthy of, his Ma-
jesty's Ministers—such was not the aim and end
of the Reform Act—such were not the promises
made by Lords Grey, Althorp, and Russell,
when the Reform Bill was first introduced by
them—nay, such conduct is contrary to their
own interest as Ministers of the Crown, We
have, by the Reform Act, got rid of most of the
rotten boroughs, and that is a great gain, for
which the country can never be too thankful ;
but, on the other hand, unless a Relief Bill be
brought in, and the time for the payment of
rates and taxes be extended beyond that origi-
nally fixed by the Bill, other boroughs, which
would have been free and independent, will have
become rotten at the very moment of their birth,
and the great end and object of the Act not only
defeated thereby, but such a Hotise of Com-
mons, in all probability, returned, as cannot fail
to disgust the country—to undo all that has
been good in the policy of the present Ministers,
and what is more, with the aid of a Court which
is well known to he most inimical to them, expel
them from the offices which they have turned to
so little account. The title of Reform will roll
back upon those who might have directed its
course onward through safe and easy channels,
and the very men become its sacrifice who might
have saved all others from being brought within
its reach. And what are the reasons urged for
pursuing a line of conduct, which is certain to
injure the cause of Reform, and throw the
ntrcouy again into that state of confusion and
excitement froM which it was hoped that
it was now about to escape ? Why, first,
that those who have neglected to pay their
rates and taxes, bad sufficient warning of
the consequences, and deserve not to be
relieved—secondly, that the Reform Act
cannot be altered this session—amid, thirdly,
that if a Bill were brought in to relieve
the disfranchised voters, we could not have
a dissolution of Parliament this year. And
are these the only reasons why a great and
manifest injury should be :inflicted on the
country—its constituency narrowed by the
disfranchisement of a great portion of its new
electors—and the great objects of the Reform
Act either defeated, or placed in the most
immi-
nent danger of being so ? True it is that such is
the case; and true it is that there is not one of
these reasons which will bear the test cf. investi-
gation. The truth of the first, alleging that suffi-
cient warning was given, we deny—for the first
warning on the subject was contained in the
columns of this paper only a few weeks pre-
vious to the call for taxes ; and with regard to
the others they are so utterly insignificant, and so
cowardly, as to be undeserving of serious no-
tice. Why not have another Session of Par-
liament? Is there not sufficient time both for
another Session, as well as for anew Parliament,
should a necessity occur for calling one together ?
That we do not notice this matter with undue seve-
rity may be satisfactorily gathered from the uni-
form, and we think not ineffectual, support
which we have given to his Majesty's Ministers
—from the extent of the disfranchisement, and
from the not extravagant joy of the Anti-Re-
formers at the first results of the Reform Act.
lu_Manchester, according to Colonel Evans's
statement, not above 750 persons had paid their
rates ; in Ashton, 74 ; at Bury, 42 ; at Oldham,
42 ; at Bolton, 84 ; at Blackburn, 78 ; at Roch-
date,.66 ; at Salford, 40 ; and in Warrington,
38. The metropolitan divisioni are little better
off, and yet in the teeth of this statement of
manifest evil, Lord Althorp's only reply is, that
"he could not think that the operation of the
clause would be so extensive as the lion. and
Gallant Member represented. He himself knew
nothing certain of the matter; and nothing
could be certainly known till after the 20th
of August. Not believing in the extent of
the disfranchisement, he could not believe
the extent of the dissatisfaction. He had always
admitted that the registration clauses might at
first present some difficulty in the working. It
should be remembered that the period fixed by
the Bill allowed three months to be in arrears ;
and he could not think, according to the custom
of parishes, that it would be found that so many
people were disfranchised." Facts are, how-
ever, stubborn things, and we know the facts to
be -true. Let those, however, who have sown
the wind reap the storm. The country will, no
doubt, take care of its rights sooner or later—
of that we believe there is no fear ; but with re-
gard to his Majesty's Ministers, they may rely
upon it that they have sealed their fate by their
own weak acts. The Tories are boasting that
they have got them at last—that they are caught
in their own net—that they will be in office in
six months—and they are right. They have
hi-
deed won the day at.last.—Morning Advertiser.

SUICIDE.—On Friday an inquest was held
at the Rose and Crown, Ratcliff Highway, on the body of
LYDIA WALDRAVEN, aged 20. Mr. J. FRANKS, a baker
in Hook's-yard, Whitechapel, said that the deceased was
his sister-in-law, and had assisted him during the last
seven years. About four years ago Mr. FRANKS and his
wife broke off an acquaintance which the deceased had
formed with a young man, on account of her youth. She
took poison, but was recovered by medical aid, and she
afterwards conducted herself in the most exemplary way.
Within the last two months she had kept company with
a young man named SMITH, and it was also un lerstood
that a police sergeant of the 11 division had paid her
some attentions, which she rejected, finding, on inquiry
at the Station-house, that he was a married man. The
deceased was at home on the night of the Ist inst., and
nothing particular was observed in her conduct. Ab.mt
5 o'clock the next morning a policeman, named WRIGHT,
saw her leave Mr. FRANKS' house. She was in a violent
perspiration, and site said she was very mueb distressed in
mind, and had to go to a washing. After that she was net.
seen till the morning of the Bth, when she was found
drowned in the London Dock Basin. The following
paper was found in her room :—" Dear Friends,—l hope
you will all ways respect Mr. Sunni as one of yore one—
he is a sola..r welly yung man as can be,— by my wish,—
L. w." The Coroner said the case was involved in some
mystery. The Jury returned a verdict of Found drown-
ed. It is the opinion of the friends of the del:eased, that
she had been seduced, and had destroyed herself in con-
sequence

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Jazzes Field and John Hurley were again broarbt be-
fore the sitting Magistrates, Messrs. Hosicnis and Toss,
from Newgate, to which pri-on they were committed oo
the 4th instant, in erd,r that Field might b 2., ideatifted as
the perpetrator of another plate Obbbery in July, last year.
Sergeant Thompson and John Conelly give evidence in
support of the eharj:e.
Hurley and Field were asked what they had to say in
their defence?

Ft: Id, with indignant warmth, had nothing to say, tx-
cept that the newspapers had belied him. He was by
them represented as having b,en in titnee with the Sappel•,
who murdered the policeman Long, when he never bad
wen them. He moreover, now defied any man to say,
unless he swore falsely, that he had ever, till the present,
he-n before a Magistrate on any charge.
Sergeant Thompson then produced a bunch of keys,
which, acting one upon the other by way of cross-keys, he
slid Mrs. Ringmaiden could identify.
Mrs. Ringmaiden was hereupon sent fur, but she de-
clined to come, as her ho band vr:ts abroad, and, in his
absence, she could prevail on no gentleman to accompany
her to the office. Again and again the Magistrates so-
licited the lady's kind attendance, who, notwithstanding,
still refused.

3lr. Flosiutcs—Well, then, it appears that this case
must he postponed on account of the lady's fancy and
whims.—The prisoners were remanded.
