Xmonk the notices of motions given in the House
of Commons last night, was one by Air. HumE, who
stated that immediately after the present 'recess he
should move that " the House should take into its
consideration the exemplary conduct of the people
whenever they had been admitted to public edifices,
and their general disposition to maintain order and
propriety;; also, that the House do approve of the re-
cOmmendation of the Select Committee, formerly ap-
pointed, that there should be a more free admission
of the people to cathedrals and churches." We
cordially concur in the justice and propriety of this
motion—more especially in that portion of it which.
refers to the general orderly demeanour of the people
when admitted to visit public buildings. If it were
ever otherwise, the fault lay not so much with them
as with the official authorities, who for many years
made a point of studiously throwing every obstacle in
their way, by saddling them with an admission-tax
beyond their means, whenever they wished to gratify
a natural and laudable feeling of curiosity as regards
those magnificent ecclesiastical structures which were
erected at the public cost and fur the express benefit
of the public. For years and years to-
gether, the clergy, to their shame be it
said, most rigorously exacted fees at the
door of every cathedral ; and not an individual
could enter, unless indeed when Divine service was
being performed, but those who were prepared to
satisfy the very un-apostolic rapacity of the clerical
authorities who had charge of the sacred edifice. Of
late, however, a considerable alteration has taken
place in this respect; the clergy have been shamed
into something like respect for public opinion; their
habits of extortion have greatly softened down ; and
the consequence is, a corresponding improvement in
the manners of the people, who, as they become more
and more habituated to the sight of these majestic
monuments of architecture, necessarily leurn to
appreciate them better, to take an honest national
pride in their grandeur and sublimity, and carefully
refrain from all acta of wanton spoliation, such as
they used not unfrequently to be guilty of, when they
were regarded by the ghostly guardians of the dif-
ent cathedrals in no more respectable light than as
tasteless, vulgar intruders. We hope to live to see
the day when the principle adopted in Mr. HumE's
excellent motion shall be carried out to the utmost
possible extent, and all- our ecclesiastical edifices be
thrown open unreservedly to the public, and no one
be seen standing at the portals, seeing, as it were,
in forma pauperis, on behalf of the Dean and
Chapter, for an admission fee. There is no-
thing that so refines and- elevates the mind
and manners of a people as the frequent con-
templation of magnificent works of art, whether
in architecture, sculpture, or painting; and every op-
portunity should be , taken by their rulers of giving
them free, unrestricted access to productions of this
character. Treat the people like Ignoramuses inca-
pable of appreciating the sublime and beautiful in
the creations of art, and you will surely make them
what in your arrogant sense of superiority you
choose to consider them; but treat them like rational
beings, capable of deriving enjoyment from such in-
tellectual sources, and you will reap the benefit of
your considerate conduct, in the improved tone and
temper of the national mind.

; Without intending any personal offence to Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, we must confess our habitual
doubt of the soundness or the sineerity of those con-
stitutional principles, which he is so fond of vouching,
as the motives and guarantees of his public acts.
There is one principle which is inherently worth
many, and, under some circumstances, is more ac-
ceptable than all others to the public at large. Poli-
tical consistency is the valuable unit of which vie
speak. It is to be feared-that the Right Hon. Baronet
has parted with his life interest in this inestimable
property, as the price of a short lease of official power
and emolument : not that the sacrifice of political
consistency necessarily implies a vicious and inte •
-rested departure from previously avowed principles,
or inevitably amounts to a declaration of insolvency of
character. Public men may conscientiously differ
tutu exlo from the party to which they belong, touch-
ing some particular crotchet or some announcement
of general views which that party may fatally in.
Bulge, or may have rashly promulgated. The result
of such a difference may not unreasonably be, to'com-
pel such men to fall out of the ranks in which they
had originally enlisted themselves, and to take their
stand with some other section, professing opinions not
universally concurrent with theirown, but much more
nearly approximating to them, than either the men
.- from whom• they have just separated, or the men whom
. they have so long opposed, and will still continue to
resist. But this is .a graduated, as well as a necessary
change of original position. But to become—' from
a Whig, and something more"—from a Liberal, and
something beyond it—a high Tory, a high Church-
man, a high prerogative man ; this is a metamorpho-
,sis. more abrupt and more astounding than any which
have occurred since the " mutalasformas" recorded by
Om), in the most classical of "Wonderful Maga-
`sines." We, therefore, are not among the over-
candid few who give the Right Hon. Home Secretary
credit for having abjured his old leaders, and changed
his old colours, out of some incomprehensible alarm
touching some phantom of encroachment and spolia-
tions to be visited on the Established Church. Mor-
tified amisition, personal pique, a prescient percep-
tion that he was quartered, in 1835, in a trembling
House, and a lively hope of good things to be found
i)y just crossing over to • that on the other side "of the
lway ; these motives, or any of them, suggest a
k much simpler explanation of his organic transmuta-
tion into .a Cabinet Minister, tinder Sir ROBERT
PErt, than the whole combined powers of even Thes-
salian magic could supply.
With this impression, then, upon our minds
tmtching the quality of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S adopted
Toryism, we are prone to look with distrust at, the
tm,a.sures MI from time to time propounds for " the
pulilic" benefit. We have already denounced his
morbid appetite for prison-discipline legislation. We
'have denounced the horrors of his Pentonville model
bastille. We have shown how those atrocious experi-
ments have resulted, which speculators on the nature
of crime and the relations between it and punishment,
have presumptuously indulged in, carrying retributive
vengeance to a Asitcli that infringes on the exclusive
functions of the DEITIC—and strains the decrees of
Human law heyorid.: the extremest limits of penal
satisfaction which it has yet demanded—in sacrificing
the mind, in frustrating and extinguishing the moral
sentiment of the convicted Criminal. We adduced,
on the authority, of an eminent magistrate, and a
most upright man, the two cases of incurable mad-
ness in the two ,prisoners lately removed into Beth-
lem Hospital, after a hideous experiment of a few
months' " silent and solitary" confinement in this pet
prison of Pentonville—this model farm of stock-
criminal-reform discipline, which has been laidOui at
'so enormous an expense, fta. theopmecoulsiaerergretaatriyfi.eatilovne,
, as _ it should seem, of our H
have also assigned, at • some length, our objec-
tions to one or two Bills, bearing Sir JAMES
GRA-Hanes name on their docquet, that were intro-
duced at an earlier period of the session. In the
Right Hon. Gentleman's statement of Friday night,
on moving for leave to bring in a " Bill for the more
kaay Recovery of Small Demands in the County Courts
of 'England," there were many passages that fortify
our distrust of tbe expediency and of the con-
stitutional principles of all his legislative efforts.
Sir JAMES relied .for his own justification and the
House's sanction of this attempt to remodel and de-
fine the jurisdiction of these very ancient institutions,
on the success 'which had attended the analogous expe-
riment of subjecting the Courts of Requests to the same
sort of treatment, by the Bill of 1839. That Bill
raised the jurisdiction of those Courts to demands
under 15/. ; and he proposes to give a similar jurisdic-
tion to his newly modelled County Courts all over
the kingdom, on the assumption that the Courts of
Recittests,- established by Soeal-Acts since 1839; with
this enlarged scope 'of action, have given great satis-
faction. It may be a convenient source of patronage—

(a consideration to which Sir JAMES seems, in all
these cases, more keenly alive, than any Home
Secretary within our recollection)—to create another
batch of Courts, to be " presided over by judges who
are very competent to discharge the duties devolved
upon them in that capacity, being all barristers of
fice years' standing."-- But we can assure him the
Courts of Requests of this new constitution do not
receive by any means the degree of public approba-
tion he affects to claim for them, and that the' public
are little disposed to tolerate these jobbing " judge
nominations," made by wholesale. Sir JAMES has the
grace to admit that some difficulty would attend the.
simultaneous introduction of so extensive a measure
in all the counties of England at once—and (always a
subsidiary consideration with he MAJESTY'S Minis-
Ministers) great expense, also. Therefore, that the in-
troduction may he gradual, he proposes to give to her
MAJESTY in Council the power to bring the Act into
general operation gradually, at the discretion of
Ministers. Will Sir JAMES give us leave to ask him
what is his precise merit in the public estimation, on
which he supposes that the nation would intrust
such a " discretion" in his hands, as one of
those Ministers ? We trust that this clause
will be expunged from the Bill. Men he
proposes to pay the judges of these new courts
by salaries—the clerks by fees. The distinction is
invidious as to the clerks; but as to suitors and par-
ties the fee system has been already denounced and
abolished wherever Parliament have had an oppor-
tunity of dealing with it in connexion with all legal
salaries. To introduce it. in a system of revised
county courts machinery is an idea that could have
found no habitation in any brain except one so per-
versely constituted as Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S. Why,
it would be the readiest conceivable course to foment
vexatious suits, or dishonest defences, and multiply
proceedings and expenses to their utmost limits, in
order to fill the pockets" of these dragons' teeth
of "whom the HoMe Secretary is about to sow so
litigious a crop. We have no objection to the scope
of the new jurisdiction " which is to extend to cases of
simple contract, of damages for breach of the peace,
of unlawful holding of property in certain cases, or
in other words, actions of trover in their simplest
form," and amongst matters excluded, are to be all
matters affecting title.

But we are no admirers of a new-fangled scheme of
juries. Now, Sir JAMES would have a Hindoo " Pun-
chayet :" a constitution of such a tribunal, which we
should feel great respect for in Hindostan, but utterly
repudiate in England. "If parties required a jury, the
judge might grant it, but the jury should not consist
of a larger number of five."
How soon the Right Hon. Baronet forgets his im-
portant obligations to a jury, elsewhere, of TWELVE!
We are glad to observe that Mr. HAWES directed
the attention of the House to the oppressive effect of
enormous fees accumulating upon small debts, and to
the importance of enacting, that in all 'cases of debt under
a certain amount, the execution should only be against
the goods of the party.
Sir JAMES had prOposetl that execution should issue
" against body or goods;"—an accurately adjusted
arrangement for reserving the greatest possible
power to inflict the utmost amount of misery and dis-
tress of which the circumstances of any case might
admit, at the pleasure of the creditor. On a former
occasion we ventured to show how strongly this
strange instinct of implacable animosity to the crime
of debt was developed in the legislative morality of
the Home Secretary. On another principle of
the Bill, Mr. F. SHAW forcibly remarked, "that if they
compelled the parties to attend and givll evidence,
much inconvenience and injustice also might arise.
He thought it a dangerous principle to adopt, and it

would be a dangerous experiment to allow the parties
to the suit to be examined in their own behalf."

But, perhaps, it did not occur to the really, acute
mind of that Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman that
he himself had so recently sanctioned a similar perilous
" experiment" in a Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whose tampering negotiations with a
London reporter had proceeded on a view strictly
analogous, namely, that of the "parties to a suit being
afterwards examined on their own behalf ! "
The Bill, we apprehend, must be altered "out of
all knowledge" before the House can be induced to
pass it.

The Madrid journals of the 26th ult. are entirely
filled with accounts of the illuminations, the levees,
and the other public demonstrations given in the
capital since the arrival of Queen CHRISTINA. • An
amnesty was talked of, and an order, it was said, had
been sent to General Itoricam to show more lenity at
Carthagena than he had done at Alicant, and not to
molest those who wished to leave the place. The ac-
count of the surrender of the town had not reached
Madrid at the departure of the mail. On the morn-
ing of the 22d the insurgents had opened a fire on the
QUEEN'S troops, and discharged upwards of 600 pro-
jectilei ; but at two- o'clock their fire had been
silenced, RONCALI having thrown -in nearly 3CO
bombs by that hour.
On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were
done at 37 for cash, and at 38 .for 60 days, and the
Five per. Cents. at 24 at 60 days.

creased out of the pocket of the consumer or the workman,
must be inadequately paid—a consequence to be deplored.
Augmentation in the prices of articles of necessity is always
injurious to an immense body of people—to all such persons
as have limited incomes—as public officers,.persons living
upon their dividends; and the labouring classes ; while those
whom it does not affect are .very few in number,- When,
therefore, a valuable produce, like that of% the Sesame, is
brought forward, it. should be received with welcome, and
warmly encouraged. Instead of this; hoWever, this blessing
is to be treated as if it were a scourge. A pretended equality
of favour is talked of, but this pretended equality will-end
in. a, genaml ,equality
.of d:stress, instead of that equality
which would insure the general good."

The- Pressi takes nearly the same view of the ques-
tion, and thus points out what the commercial navy
of France has suffered by prohibition :

I " This is particularly-the case With the teaty of 1822 with
the United States, and that of 1826 with England. The offi-
cial tables show that in 1842, on a movement of 973,006 tons'
Iftween France and Great Britain, the latter . Power con-
veyed 791,000 tons: On the total quantity between France
and the United States • the American .flag takes 94 per cent.,
leaving only 6 per cent:. for France. Such are the fruits.of
treaties.. The evil would be less striking if theinjury to our
mercantile shipping were in some degree made up for by aid-
voltages in favour of our manufactures. But ON is not the
care. The last customs' lables prove that England receives
from us to the amount of 92 millions of products, and sends
td ns an amount of 112 millions. As to the United States,
the disproportion is still stronger. In 1842 they took only 48
millions' worth frOm us; and sold 135 millions in our mar-
kets. •If we are, not lucky in commercial treaties,-it is pru-
d*t to abstain from them." : . .
I We perceive by the papers that the Duke D'AUMALE
his had some fine country sport in a late razzia made
near Constantina. A letter from that place says :
"The Duke d'Aumale, on the 13th ult., left Biskara, to
make a razzia on some down's, belonging to Ben Said, who
was beheadectat Constantina, by older of 'General Negrier.
The booty thus obthined was very considerable. The women
wire collected, and placedeunder the protection of tile people
of ;Biskara. While the Duke d'Airmale and his division were
at iskara, a considerable body of -Arabs made a- vigorous
at ck upon the intermediate camp at -Bethona, where a large
st eof provisions and ammunition for the column in action
was collected. These attacks, repeated on the successive
days of the 11th and 12th, were not only, fruitless to the
enemy, but he was obliged to-retire with numerous losses.
Om the side of the French, there were about 12 men killed',
and 20 wounded. On being made acquainted with what had
passed at Bethona, by an exiiresslfrefn the Commandant of
the camp, the Military antlibrities sent' reinforcements to it
tinder the orders of Colonel He.rbillen. ,This small column,
after having insured tranquillity at Bethona, will move to
the frontier of the Harnett's, .tofkeep that tribe in subjection,
-and act on the left of the Duke d'Aumale." •

Some foreignjournals," says. La Repie des Deux Mondes,
" haVe much too lightly attended to the report of the King
intending to Make an excursion to England in the course of
net summer. 'The Monarch'S age surely exempts him from
a visit whereiri.he has more than once-been represented by
the!Princes, his sons. Stich ajoUrney, being required by no
co4enanee whatever,.would remairtquite apolitical one, and
whatever may be the feelings .of the Ministry regarding the
English alliance, we believe them to be much too enlightened
to e.tpose the head of our new dynasty to an ovation which
would be more dangerous to it than'the clamour of its most
implacable enemies."

Most of the Paris papers contain articles on the
new Customs' Bill introduced into the Chamber of
Deputies, and we are glad to find that those of
them which venture an opinion on the subject con-
demn in strong terms the prohibitory system, or in-
deed any material addition to the :present customs'
duty. This is a good symptom in fai,our of free
trade. The writers' in these journals begin to see
that, though high duties serve particular interests, and
are imposed for the sake of a few monopolists, the
people are great losers: They have to pay higher
prices for articles of, consumption the commerce of
the country, and consequently the mercantile shipping
is diminished in proportion, and France, to a certain
extent, becomes isolated from the rest of the world.
The Journal des :Debuts, which usually supports the
Government, is decidedly opposed to the measure, and
points out by forcible and s=ound argument the folly
of these eternal changes, and the injury done to the
best interests of the country by prohibitory duties.
After adverting to the preamble of the Bill, the writer
thus proceeds :

The funds on Monday remained without any mate
rial alteration.

POLICE INTILLIGENCE,

BOW-S'T'REET.--(THIS DAY.)
A decently-attired and rather good-loOking young woman;
named Esther Lillywhite, ar, inmate of St. Giles's workhouse,
was brought up before Mr. Taryford, charged with assaulting
the watchman of the workhouse last night.
Nantes. Payne; the night watchman at the workhouse,
stated that last night, at about eleven o'clock, the prisoner
came home drunk. He let her in, and she immediately com-
mence 4 abusing him, and ultiMately flew at him and tore his
hair, scratched his face, and blackened both his.eyes. Look-
ing upbn this as invtlibig but ladylike behaviour, and having
regard to his nose, the only perfect feature left on his coun-
tenance, he called in another watchman to his assistance, and
after a struggle Miss Lillywhite Was secured, and conveyed
to the lock-up.
The prisoner, in her defence, .insinuated that the com-
plainant had, on one de two occasions, attempted to take
liberties with her, a thing she could not adMit of from "sich
as he.''';

The complainant emphatically denied this, and the infer-
ence te74e drawnfrom what he said was, that Miss Lillywhite
was no so prudish and delicate as she wished to be thought.
Mr. TWYFORD said.a clear case of assault had been made
mit, and he should therefore, fine the .prisoner in the sum of
205., or ;in default of payment commit her for a month. She
was accordingly committed.
Miss Esther; as' she was•leaving the bar, raised her finger
towards the complainant in a very ominous manner, and said,
" I'll giVe it you when I come out."
The witness. was then about to withdraw from the witness-
:box, upem which Mr. TwYFORD, with alarm 'expressed upon
his countenance, said, f` Pol?ot go out of the box until she is
safely locked: up."-
The prisoner was then escorted by a policeman to an apart-
ment adjoining the Court, provided for the accommodation of
similar characters.

Thomas Lissrlton- was brought up late on the preceding
afternoon; charged with Wounding Fanny Weldrake in
Gravel- lane, tiouthwark. • '
The woman was too ill to attend, and it was stated that the
prisoner aid Weldrake cohabit together, and live in Gravel.-
lane. That on the preceding night cries of "Murder" were
heard proceeding from the house,• and in a • moment- after-
wards aNs4oman was seen to rush out into the street with her
face streaming with blood. She ran into an adjoining public-
house for protection, followed by :the prigoner who carried
her back to the house ; and a policeman by this time being
lid-firmed df the circumstance, went into the house, and found
the place in a state of the greatest 'possible disorder; the
Chairs and; tables WOE broken:to pieces, and on the leg of a
broken chair, with which the woman had been assaulted, was
-found a quantity of clotted blood:and hair. The woman was
found to b so dreadfully maltreiged that she was obliged to
be conveyed to the 'hospital. .• • •• •
Mr. Olding, the surgeon, stated that the woman's body is
one mass of bruises, evidently inflicted with a blunt instru-
ment, and that she is in such a conditiouthat renders it
im-
possible she can be brought gf)0111.4 ouit to appear against
her assailant for at least a mouth;
The prisoner said that the woman in the hospital was as
much to blame as lie was, and that lie had everyyeason to be-
lieve she would not appear against him.
The MAGISTRATE said that he should*take'eare that a man
who committed such a very brutal-assault should 'not escape
the punishment he so richly descried, and remanded him till
she was sufficiently recovered to attend. • • • • •

"The duties on machinery of every kind are increased, but
with the substitution of an assessment by weight for that of
I ad valorem. The duties on the imports of foreign manufac-
tured articleff into Algeria are increased also, thus departing
from an established principle, which lays down that, in the
infancy of colonisation and civilisation of a country, it should
receive at the lowest possible rates all necessary provisions,
all useful engines and materials for manufacture. In addition
to this, war is' declared against two products brought from
abroad into our ports in great quantities, and which affordnourishment to very profitable branches of our industry—we
mean the lard from the United States, used with great ad-
vantage by Our soap-boilers,• and the oleagenous seeds of the
Levant, which, Within these last few years,has given birth to
a very fine manufacture at Marseilles, that of the oil extracted
from them, affording great benefit to the soap-works, inas-
much as the oil of Sesame is an excellent corrector of the olive
oils; and also to the agriculturists, as the residuum, or oil-
cake, which they use in abundance in fattening their cattle
and manuring their lands. The additional profits derived by
our agriculturists from this source are estimated at several
millions per annum. The public -also derives a benefit ; for
cold-drawn oil of Sesame is good for domestic purposes. In
tine, the French mercantile marine, about the interests of
which the GoVerhment is considerate, was about to find em-
ployment in the transport of oleagenous seeds from the East.
In 1834, the import of these seeds to Marseilles. amounted to
1,306,000 kilos, or cargoes of seven or eight ships. In 1842,
the same import increased to 36,700,000 kilos, or cargoes of
about two, hundred ships • By levying a slightly additional
Customs' duty, the whole of this transport trade would be se-
, cured to France. This piece of good fortune,bowever, is likely
to be lost, by_increasing the duty on the Sesame to double

of other interested parties, we proceed to make the following
observations :—lt Is an incontestible fact that the national
industry is progresively expanding and improving. In a few
days, the exhibition of useful arts will be opened, and all will
see the great advances made in new inventions and in execu-
tion. The. Administration itself "will proclaim with praise
innumerable improvements, and they will meet with hono-
rary rewards. All the trumpets of Fame will repeat, that
the industry of France is marching towards perfection with
gigantic strides, and this, we admit, will not be ' an exag-
geration.. But, after all, we still ask, where is the necessity
for these augmentations of prohibitive duties? The branch
in which the greatest progress has been made within the last
few yearshas, unquestionably, been
machinery. The Trea-
sury, it must be acknowledged, hasnot been wanting in giving
it encouragement. Extensive orders have been given to our
mechanicians, for engines for the Transatlantic steamers in
particular, with the view of encouragement. These wet e sacri-

neighbourhood, a public meeting of the inhabitants, favour-
able to the Ten Hours' Bill of Lord Ashley, was held on
Friday night, in the Christian Chartist Church, Blackfriar-
street. Mr. G. Adams officiated as Chairman. The meeting
was composed chiefly of operatives, and was conducted
throughout with. great propriety and decorum. Mr. Matthew
Cullen introduced the business in an address explanatory of
the proceedings in Parliament connected with the measure,
and concluded by delivering several appeals in favour of
abridging the hours of labour, more particularly in connec-
tion with the' factory system. He then proposed a resolution
to the effect, that !‘ Longhours of labour have a direct ten-
dency to injure health, prostrate man's physical powers,
produce a deterioration of morals, and further lead to habits
of intemperance, thereby Preventin those subjected to them
having the means of mental and moral cultivatien."—A vote
of thanks was given to Lord Ashley, and it was agreed to
g
memorialise hint to, bring iu a Ten Hours Bill, if Govern-
ment gave up theirs.—Glusgow Argus.
