THE ISLINGTON SPA ; OR,
HOLY WELL
Presents a very rare opportunity for a talented man
to realize a fortune, and very quickly. We live in times
H hen. something new is the order of the day. The in-
ventive_ faculties were never so much drawn upon as
during the last few years, and it is become a question,
if amongst the extraordinary results that have followed,
we, are not very soon to be astonished by "A Railway
CoMpany to the Moon" being proposed, to lighten
ourpockets, without disturbing the quietude of either
the sun or the moon—it'has become a matter of no in-
considerable difficulty now'-a-days to guard against
the allurements that are put forth to enveigle.the silly
portion of mankind. The' Superabundance of money
has mainly assisted to produce this unnatural state,
while the difficulty Of finding solid investments com-
pletes this state of, delusion. Our attention has been
recently called to the Lslington Spa, or, Holy
Well, the qualities of which are very rare,
and the water - quite pelucid. This celebrated
Spa has stood the test of more than a century,
all the high medical authorities of that time pro•
nounced their efficacy to be beyond doubt, and suc-
ceeding genefations have confirmed this opinion.
Surely then such a god send, if. properly directed,
must yield an immense income.
It is difficult to understand why this Spa has been
neglected. These are not times when a chalybeate,
not inferior to Tonbridge Wells or Cheltenham, and
in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis of Lon-
don, should from neglect be forgotten. The German
system (now so prevalent) has the inconvenience of being
immersed into cold water, after' first being indulged
with half an'hour's repose in a damp bed. Now, this
Spa will effect all that the Germans promise, with the
aid of.one month's daily resort to " the Holy Well."
Amongst Mr. Winston's papers, the literary and
talented gentleman who was so many years pro-
prietor of the Haymarket Theatre, and latterly secre-
tary to the Garrick Club, we have selected a few that
give authority less ephemeral than the schemes of the
present day, for he dates his authorities for the supe-
riority and efficacy of these waters beyond a century.
THE ISLINGTON CHALYBEATE, APERIENT,
AND RESTORATIVE SPA.

After violent attacks of fever' where all the vital
energies are exhausted, and a distressing langour and
debility pervades the whole frame, the Spa restores and
re-animates when the barks and all the other usual
tonics have been employed in vain. In those infir-
mities to which females are more peculiarly subject;
a course of the Islington Waters is attended with the
most decided advantage; and for those unpleasant
eruptions of the skin, which so frequently disfigure
the most beautiful face, there is no remedy more safe
or efficacious. The virtues of the Spring are by no
means confined to the complaints enumerated, but it
was deemed proper to select th )se in which its health-
restoring qualities have been most remarkable.
This Spa is now to be let by Mr. George Robins,
who promises the result will be a rapid fortune. The
gardens, that in days of yore were open to the public,
are now built upon, and the populous neighbourhood
will be but too happy to be annual subscribers ; and
the ornamental building that adorns " the Holy
Well" renders any outlay unnecessary. The rent re-
quired is a mere bagatelle for the first seven years.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The Standard of last night resumes its
attacks on the three law Lords by whose votes the
Writ of Error was affirmed, and the judgment paved
on O'Connell, and his co-defendants, reversed. The
charge alleged against Lords Cottenham, Campbell,
and Denman is, that in their decision they were ac-
tuated by party -feelings, and not by the conscien-
tious conviction of their judgments. This imputa-
tion might be allowed to find its own level in the
contempt of every honest mind. We will, however,
yield to the provocation which it supplies ; and
institute an inquiry into the pretensions of the two
law Lords who voted for affirming the judg-
ment of the Court below. From the comparison of
personal requirements, thus instituted, the balance
will be found immeasurably in favour of those whose
integrity is impugned by the Tory print. Of Lord
Lyndhurst we abstain from saying anything that is
personally disrespectful. As a member of the Cabi-
net, however, it cannot be denied that he stood much
more in the position of a prosecutor than of a judge.
Nay, from his position in the Cabinet, as its principal
legal adviser, he might be considered as the originator
of the prosecution. Whether perfect impartiality
was to be expected from a person so situated, may be
safely questioned. Certainly, the two functions of
judge and prosecutor have been hitherto considered as
somewhat incompatible. Added to this, between
himself and the principal traverser there has long been
open war—almost, indeed, a bellum internecinum. As
to Lord Brougham, to speak of him with respect is
difficult, if not impossible. A name once honoured,
and almost adored, has passed into a proverb of re-
proach—a bye-word, the bare mention of which is
the provocative of scorn. We will not here dwell
on the considerations, arising out of Lord Brougham's
political inconsistencies, which have alienated from him
every vestige of public confidence and respect. But we
will ask, whether in knowledge of the law, in judicial
ability, he is, for a moment, comparable with the least
qualified of the three distinguished personages who dif-
fered from him in the case which has provoked the ire
of the Tory prints against them ? It is not for any
superior knowledge of law, but for the powers of
vituperation, for which his Lordship is pre-eminent,
and the delight which he derives, and affords to his
new associations, by employing them against his
former friends, that he now finds favour in the eyes of
those who once hated and abused him. But, granting,
for the sake of argument, that he united in himself
the legal attainments of the three opposite Lords—
grant that he is the greatest lawyer of the age and
nation—is not his boasted hatred of O'Connell caused
by the severe chastisement he has frequently re-
ceived at his hands, such as must for ever dis-
mafeolry;
qualify him for pronouncing a judgment on which

BEthtfAttroet attach the slightest
weight to it? If he does, he has a far better opinion
of human nature than Rochefoucault has taught us to
entertain, or experience induces us to believe. To
affirm of Lords Cottenham, Penman, and Campbell,
that they were not open to these objections, is to say
but little; but that little is more than sufficient to de-
stroy
the cobweb fabrications by which their judg-
ments on the writ of error have been impugne i.
True it is, they are -Whigs ; and, as such, they have
been frequently and heartily abused by O'Connell
and his co-agitators. On one of them especially (Lord
Campbell) the vials of his wrath have been poured
out, without regard either to truth or decency. If
they stood neutral, therefore, in their affections
toward him, is as much as could be ex-
pected. Their learning will not, we pre-
sume, be suspected. One of them was, avowedly—
his political opponents being judges—the greatest
Chancellor of modern times. Lord Denman, when
on a late memorable occasion he resisted the pre-
tensions of the House of Commons, was lauded by the
Tories not merely as a great legal authority, but as a
vindicator of the liberties of the people. The service
he has just rendered to his country is not less entitled
to public gratitude. It displays the same invincible
firmness of character—the same devotion to the con-
stitution—fortified by that extensive knowledge of law
which gives weight and authority to his opinions in
the estimation of the Bench and the Bar. What
Lord Campbell is, the high rank in his profession,
which he has attained by the unaided efforts of
his powerful and persevering mnirrd, may be taken as
conclusive evidence. After all, if these three great
lawyers have erred, they have erred in very good
company. Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice Colt-
man are not men whose legal opinions may be safely
despised. Neither ofthem, it is true, happened to be
Attorney-General when the prosecution was instituted.
But this is an odious imputation, worthy of that por-
tion of the. Press which vents the disappointment of
the Ministry at the failure of its schemes. In follow-
ing the example which the Slandard and other
organs of the Government have set us, we are well
aware of the invidious task we have undertaken. It
was with reluctance and regret that we yielded to the
sense of obligation which the conduct of our oppo-
nents imposed upon us. Such comparisons as we have
now instituted should, we admit, be generally avoided.
To canvass the motives by which judges are, or are as-
sumed to be, influenced, when exercising the functions
of their high office, much more to suggest hints, and
supply surmises, to their prejudice, is of most danger-
ous tendency. Any little triumph which may be oc-
casionally gained by such a process is more than coun-
terbalanced by the mischiefs that, in the end, are
produced by, it. We would fain believe that each
of the five law Lords who were called upon to vote
gave an honest judgment, uninfluenced by party poli-
tical considerations. We would fain believe this, even
of Lord Brougham—fallen though he be from the
high place which he once held in the estimation of his
country, to one which provokes scorn, softened by
pity, in the honest-hearted portion of the community.
At any rate, their judgment was openly given in the
face of their country. It will be canvassed by an
acute, bold, and even fastidious profession—a consi-
deration which, of itself, ought to induce us to be-
lieve that it was not rashly, or unfairly given. On
the right, or wrong, attaching to it—on its correct-
ness or incorrectness, will depend, for ever, the legal
reputation, and—what men esteem more—the honour,
of those who pronounced it. Those who condemn, as
well as those who approve, the reversal of the judg-
ment by the House of Lords, may be assured that
this State prosecution, with its attendant circum-
stances, and those which marked the appeal from the
judgment of the Court in which the trial took place,
will never he forgotten. It will stand for ever, as a
landmark, in our books of law, and our constitutional
histories, if the two countries are destined to remain
united—still more memorable if (which may God in
mercy avert), from the wickedness, or incapacity, of
our rulers, the union should be dissolved, and they
should take their place, in the great European family,
as two separate, independent, and, as we fear would
be the case, two hostile nations.
STANDARD.—The more the late extraordinary
decision in the House of Lords is considered, the
more inexplicable does it appear. 'We are reminded
by some tf those journalists who have been most
active in eulogising the conduct of the illustrious
three who have voted in Mr. O'Connell's favour, of
the indecorum of indulging in strictures on a judicial
decision; but surely if there ever was a case entitled
to be regarded as an exception to the rule, it is
the decision in question. We are, however, not
disposed to admit the principle even as a general rule.
The conduct of judges, and of political judges more
especially, is a perfectly legitimate subject for free
discussion. Beside, the expression of public opinion
is almost involuntary ; and that public opinion will
long continue to reprobate this most unprecedented
verdict, it would be idle to question; for no circum-
stance has occurred within our recollection so well
calculated to bring both law and justice
into con-
tempt. We state the case in teems so plain, that

Providence, which has so constituted the human
frame, as to render itliable to various diseases, has,
in almost every instance, appointed suitable remedies;
and if we inherit at our birth the seeds of sickness
and death, the maternal hand of Nature is ever ready
to administer relief. The metallic riches of the earth,
the herbs that embellish it, the springs that water it,
are all medicinal; and the most experienced physician
can do no more than to unite their properties and
direct their use. Medical springs have always held
the first rank among the treasures of nature ; nor can
we wonder at this, since they are at once mild and
efficacious : the votary of health receives by their in-
sensible, yet no legs certain operation, the blessing he
desires ; and frequently, when the most elaborate pre-
scriptions fail to give ease, the deSpairing patient is
rescued from the opening grave by the employment
of these simple yet salutary streams. England is re.,
markable for the excellence of its mineral waters ;
many of them unfortunately are too remote to allow
the invalids of the metropolis to participate in the
benefits which they offer. Islington, however, a
suburb so well known on account of the salubrity of
its air, may justly boast, in addition to its other ad-
vantages, of numerous healing springs, which, from a
very early period, have invited the victims of sickness
to drink and be whole. The most estimable of these,
in every respect, it that to which the public attention
is now invited—

ISLINGTON SPA, NEAR THE NEW RIVER
HEAD, SPA FIELDS,
which was more than a century back resorted to by
our nobility and gentry for its medicinal virtues ;
and it obtained the name of the New Tunbridge
Wells, from its similarity to the waters of Tunbridge
Wells in Kent. The water of this spring is beauti-
fully clear, and although in taste it is slightly brack-
ish, it cannot, after a few daughts, give offence to the
most fastidious palate; indeed, during the summer
months, its extreme coolness and transparency are
highly grateful to the palate. The strata through
which itrises are no doubt strongly impregnated with
iron; but, besides this, in its progress to the surface,
it dissolves some saline substance, for while its chaly-
beate properties restore the tone of the exhausted
constitution, its aperient qualities remove from the
systeM those crude humours which so frequently lead
to an untimely grave.

The exact Period when the Islington Spa was dis-
covered, cannot now be ascertained, but it is certain
that, as early as the year 1640, its excellence was duly
and for more than a cen-
turya invalids resorted to the

This spring has been analysed by several eminenty all ranks of people, from the peasant to the
chemists, and they find in it that peculiar modification
of sulphate of iron, and an aperient of salt in combi-
nation, which, though it may be partially imitated by
artificial means, cannot be equalled. Physicians too,
of acknowledged talent, have visited the Spa, and
after drinking the waters, have given a very high opi-
nion of their medical qualities.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREB PAPERS, Morning Noon, and .Night, thereby :insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE

no one can affect to mistake them. Lord Lynd-
hurst and Lord Brougham are common-law law-
yers of great experience—an experience derived not
merely from their judicial 'situations, but from an
extensive practice at the bar; both of them have
been much engaged in criminal courts; one of them
was, as Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer
for four years, a criminal judge. Now, these
learned and distinguished persons are wholly of
accord on the subject of the Irish trials, as
well with each other as with a very large ma-
jority of the judges, English as well as Irish.
Lords Denman and Campbell are, it is admitted,
likewise experienced common-law judges, and have
each of them had large practice in criminal pro-
ceedings. They are altogether opposed to Lords
Lyndhurst and Brougham, and to all the other
judges but two. Nay, Lord Denman is at
variance with all the judges on a puint, on
which no one beside appears to entertain the
smallest doubt; and what manner of judge is it
that rushes forward with the casting vote ? We
would speak of him with respect, but we shall not,
therefore, be deterred from recording our honest
opinion of his qualifications as the arbiter of a case
which demanded and received so much consi-
deration from other judges. Whatever requi-
sites they may have acquired from practice, it
is clear that Lord Cottenharn can have had no
similar opportunity—for he has seen less of crimi-
nal proceedings than any other judge upon the
bench, or indeed than many of the lay Lords;
infinitely less, for example, than. Lord Wharncliffe,
chairman for many years of the Yorkshire sessions.
Nay we are inclined to doubt if Lord Cottenham
ever saw the inside of a criminal court in his life,
unless as a spectator ; or ever perused an indict-
ment until called upon to consider the one
on which he has so lately decided. Such is
the judge who has been permitted to turn the
balance against not only law Lords as eminent
and as experienced as Lord Lyndhurst and Lord
Brougham, but against five-sixths of the judges
whose peculiar province it is to expound and decide
the most difficult questions of criminal law. What
reasonable title, we ask, had Lord Cottenham to
vote, which is not shared with him by Lord Wharn-
cliffe? Both are Lords; one knows something of
criminal proceedings, the other knows nothing at
all about them. But from a spurious delicacy,
which has not even precedent to recommend it, Lord
Wharncliffe is deterred from voting, whilst Lord
Cottenham's opinion, opposed as we have seen by
nearly all the learning and experience of the age, is
permitted to decide the question. This would be
anomalous enough under any circumstances, but
when we look at the remarkable coincidence of opi-
nion of the law Lords, so far as their determination to
reverse the judgment was concerned, and remember
that they were all appointed to office by a Ministry.
which made common cause with Mr. O'Con-
nell, and whose members are ready to make com-
mon cause with him again, it cannot be denied
that that coincidence is significant enough, and
one which is well calculated to invite distrust.
The pretext that the lay Lords might not have heard
the arguments in the case is absurd; but suppose such
to have been the fact. It was because they might
not have understood the legal intricacies of those
arguments that the aid of the common-law judges
was invoked ; because, also, those judges were
believed to be free from party prejudice ;
and because none of them had identified
theinselves with the principles of the persons
whose case they were called to consider, that their
opinions were invited. Having recorded, after the
most mature deliberation, those opinions, and accom-
panied them by the most lucid explanations of the
grounds on which they were founded, all ordinary
practice was disregarded, and their judgment was set
at naught because that very luminous expositor of cri-
minal law, Lord Cottenham, appears to have con-.
sidered his leaning and experience superior to theirs.

MONEY. MA TalivillijX.Y,lNTE
TlMES.—Letters from Amsterdam dated the 7th of
September, state that the Minister has given notice that
he will reduce the Five per Cent. Domain Losrenten,
upwards of 15,000,000 guilders, giving Four per Cents.
in exchange, at 96 per cent., unless tire' money is claimed
by the 28th inst., in which case they will be paid at par.
These bonds are issued by the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests, and few of them are held out of Hslland.
It is said in the City that the Bank of England have
suffered a forgery to the extend of about 8,0001. Consols,
by a clerk in the establishment who was away on leave
of absence.

The distinction which the Bank of England has made
between bills of exchange drawn in or near London and
those drawn in the country, calling the first notes, and
second only bills, has puzzled some readers of the resolu-
tion passed on Thursday, as they do not know in what
class promissory notes, properly so called, ought to be
placed. According to the practice of the Bank, these
also are classed according to the place of their origin, and
a promissory note dated within twenty miles from Lon-
don (the limit fixed in all cases) would be called a note,
while one drawn beyond that limit would be styled a
bill, in Bank parlance. This classification of promissory
notes is liable to some objection, as it is less analo-
gous to that of bills of exchange than it appears at
the first glance. The bills of exchange are classed
according to the place from which the drawer dates, and
no regard is paid to the acceptor. Now, the maker of
a promissory note exactly corresponds to the acceptor of
a bill of exchange, and yet, as we have seen, it is on his
act that the classification is made to depend. Probably
the distinction is thus inaccurately made in the case of
promissory notes on account of the comparatively small
importance which attaches to these documents in the
Bank of England. So few is the number taken by that
establishment, that, as we under'stand, their proportion
is something like 1 to every 5,000 bills of exchange.
Some persons seem to have felt a difficulty in compre-
hending the statement at the bottom' of the resolution,
that the bills must not have above 95 days to run, and
to think that no bill will be taken payable at a longer
period after date. This is completely a mistake. The
Bank do not in the least mind how long after date the
bills are payable, but require that the time they have to
run when brought for discount shall not exceed 95 days.
This condition being complied with, they offer to dis-
count them at 21 per cent. when drawn in the country,
and 3 per cent. when drawn in London.
It has become a subject of solicitude among the nume-
rous persons who place deposits in savings'-banks, what
rate of interest is to be allowed by the managers in
future under the new Act, which comes Into operation
on the 20th of November next. By what occurred
at a meeting held last week at Cain's-cross, near
Stroud, for a bank of large business, embracing from its
position a populous manufacturing district, the rate,
then thought to be a fairly remunerative one, is likely
to be settled at 21. 18s. 4d. per cent., or 7d. in the pound.
As the Government have fixed the allowance for trustees
and managers at 3/. ss. per cent., this will leave 6s. Bd.
per cent. to cover the expense of management. Ad-
verting to the old or existing practice in that respect, it
is shown by Parliamentary returns that on a rate of
31.. 16s. Oid. per cent. the difference on the rate to depo-
sitors has fluctuated between 7s. id. and 9s. 4d., but
that in none of them it has been so small as the present
difference. Hence the consequence will follow with the
larger description of banks of a great diminution of the
reserved fund, while with smaller ones it must prove im-
possible to carry them on without a further reduction of
the rate to depositors. The example set by the Cains-
cross Bank is a liberal one, especially as it was shown
at the meeting, that after the payment of expenses, there
could not remain a balance for contingencies of more
than about 20L, but it was wisely urged that a conces-
sion made to depositors would increase the profits, and
that too hard a bargain was so impolitic, as tending to
make them withdraw the funds by which the institution
is supported, that an experiment at least of the nature
pointed out was desirable.
