the Ny4eWl s adopted is a most fatal and but too ob-
vious one. It becomes an element of their balm-
lation as to the expen‘rs farm they are about

that a portion of their labour Ve Aerie :strigle
men, at a cost 4.4 t ilair of what they will have to

that the money profit of such practice—from which

It is the surest means for the uninirtieu labourer
to increase his earninsl to induce some female to
unite her destiny to his already hopeless condition.
In this way a generation of improvident, digenntented,
and destitute pauper labouroit is tow established
around the verly tlilplOyers with whose interests, in a
"Driclition of circumstances, and under a
`:,elter system of management; Molt ovvii would
have alway been identified. Day by day the
elindition of one or both parties deteriorates; and
their interests, appear to the moody anti jaundiced
reflection of the starving Vat-tiger, surrounded by the
family whost Sole dependence is on the wages of his
labott, to be directly opposed. The landowners
would really do well to balance the titmoSt profit
they can &rite froth a Mere incidental incitase
of their rentals, (through the %11, or thoughtless-
ness of eotupding parties who are ready to pay
a4sufdly exorbitant rentals, or to substribO to yet
more absurdly exorbitant terint of agreement with
them, in eeder to hold unclor them as tenants), against
the certain influence which these causes exercise on the
crime of ineendtartsm. The only true method that
eats ever be successful in extinguishing its suicidal
firebrand, ig, for the landowner to treat on terms of
liberality and consideration with the tenant-farmer,
contenting himself with a smaller but a more equi-
table and safer rental; and for the tenant-farmer
to discharge his duty to the labourers and others
whom he employs, by paying them such just and
fair wages for their services, as shall not drive them,
in the paroxysms of their unsatisfied hunger, or of
their angry disappointment, to the concoction of
schemes of vengeance and destruction against the
property, the homes, and even the persons of those
who should consider themselves the natural friends
and protectors, not the spoilers or defrauders, of the
industrious poor.

Madrid papers of the 18th have been received.
One of these states that the QUEEN had signed a de-
cree for proclaiming martial law throughout Spain.
The Castellano, without attaching much credit to the
report, says "we should prefer so an exceptional a
state of things (which is necessary in an exceptional
situation) to the singular and incomprehensible
state in which we are, provided such a measure had
an object beneficial to the country and were not
adopted for the sole purpose of oppressing quiet peo-
ple." Such an act is extremely probable. NARVAxZ
cannot halt between two opinions. He cannot at the
same time act the despot, and allow the Cortes to de-
liberate with freedom. During the ensuing elections,
under the pretext of preventing disturbances,
he may say it is necessary to give the mili-
tary full power. But the press also must
be gagged or put down, and that process is in
a fairway of being accomplished. Five prosecutions
had been instituted against a paper, called the
Monarquia, and the editor there announces that he
must suspend its publication. Proceedings had also
been instituted against other papers.
It was said that M. PASCUAL INGLADA, former
intendant of the province of Toledo, had been ar-
rested, and was to be tried as an accomplice in the
murder of General QUESADA.

The Three per Cents. were done at 26i at 60 days,
and the Five per Cents. at 19j.

Marshal BUGEAUD has fought another battle with
the Moors near.Ouchda, in which they were com-
pletely defeated and driven into the interior of the
country. A telegraphic dispatch received by the
French Government on Wednesday, and dated from
the bivouac of Sidi-Zaer on the 16th, announces
that the Marshal having been provoked by a fresh
attack on the part of the Moors, routed and pursued
them to the distance of three days' march beyond
Ouchda. He returned on the 15th to the camp of
Lala-Magrina. " All. the tribes were offering to
submit, even those which are situated on the territory
of Morocco." These repeated collisions tend to
show either:that the Emperor of Moitocco is not
sincere in disowning the acts of the Moorish chiefs,
or that they set his authority at defiance. Some of
the French journals, indeed, state the latter is the fact;
and that the influence of ABD-EL-KADER is almost
unbounded. It is to be . feared, therefore, that the
fleet mast be employed to subdue these tribes, as an
extensive barren tract, without water, lies between
the frontier and capital, which entirely precludes the
march of troops in that quarter. Nearly similar ac-
counts to those given in the telegraphic dispatch had
been received at Toulon on the 20th. They declare
that Marshal BUGEAUD was carrying on the war
with great spirit, that he had again entered the
Moorish territory, and was driving everything before
him vv ith fire and sword. The Paris Siecle, after
stating that the Alarshal had no hopes of terminating
the differences peaceably, adds :-
4 It is said, that after the affair of the 3d July he wrote to
the Prince de Joinville to pray him to act immediately. The
Prince is said to have weighed anchor on the 7th from the
roads of .flew-el-Keber, with the intention of commencing
hostilities. Reflection and the fear of engaging his responsi-
bility, which is in fact great, or perhaps the information he
received at Alibraltar, have modified-the ardour of the young
Admiral, who has proceeded to the Bay of Algesiras to await
furthe'r orders. We have heard from authority, and we be-
lieve it, that a ship of war has been dispatched with instruc-
tions to the Prince modifying those brought with Lim from
Paris, and several regiments quartered in the south have re-
ceived Orders to embark at Toulon. It is not probable that
the Cabinet would incur such an expenge if they thought it
possible to avoid it. It is cavalry particularly that Marshal
Bugeau,l demands. Two regiments have been sent him, but
our French horses are little suited to support the fatigues of
a war in Africa, and no doubt this cavalry will be employed
in the interior. L► this manner the Marshal may dispose of
60 squadrons to enter Morocco, which will, so doubt, furnish
means of remounting the men. For this reason Marshal
Soult would not appoint a substitute. He directs all the ope-
rations from his estate at St. Amand, where the dispatches
are directed to him."

Several arrezti had been made at Neuilly, but no
CUM is assigned. Arrests are also said to have taken
place at Lyons, in consequence of a discovery that t. e
weavers had entered into an association for a general
turn-out, and had formed depots of arms of a partial
sort, with a view to an attack upon the authorities of
the department of the Rhone. The Prince de MONT•
MORENCY-ROBECQ is to be tried at the Paris Assizes
" on the charge of having distributed and sold signs or
symbols intended to propagate the spirit of rebellion
or dis!url) public peace."

We are glad to see that a new asylum for infant
-orphans has been established in the City on the most
extensive and liberal principles. There is to be no
religious distinction. The children of misfortune, of
whatever creed, are to be received into the same asy-
lum, and the hand of charity is held out to the Church-
man and the Dissenter alike. This is the way to re-
concik. contending creeds. Why should Christians
quarrel with ore another in distress ? Why should
religious dogmas, of which the children know no-
thing and the fathers little, stand in the way of cha-
rity? The supporters of this institution, called the
New Asylum for Infant Orphans, deserve the support
of all charitable men.

BANKRUPTCY:-----(THIS DAY.)
(before,lllr. do' rmiiissioner
IN THE CASE OF ROE ANti
The bankrupts, who had been acting nianagers of the Joint-
Stock Bank; Newport; Isle of' Wight; applied to-day for their
cert., litiate:
Attifitrigiie Ifslmblers Nt" tdrdsi
on the part of the bankrupts; and Mr. Edwin anieg
Mr. Sturgeon were retained by the Directors and shareholders
of the Bank to oppose them.
The evidence taken on it formnr day having been read at
the request of Mr. Lucas,
Mr. JAMES rose to oppose the granting of the certificate.
He said that he Would }Jiggly lay facts before his Honour
to prove that both the bankrupts had acted in the Most
flagrant manner, both hi theif tspaaity of bankers and More
lately in that of setVatits) and he was sure that his Honour
Wotild be Wall able to discriminate whether the one was
more faulty than the other: The ease was a most important
one, and he she'll detain the Vmtirt but a tefy short Unit)
as his friend Mr. Would no doubt addreds It aftera
ward§ at length, and With great ability, in behalf of the
bankrupts.. The; present opposition was, not entered upon
from airy vindletisie feelings to the bankrupts themselves,
but freliti a tiesife to do it duty to the shareholders of the
Joint-Stock Bank, and to the general public. It
appeared that the bankrupts Roe and Blackford
had succeeded to the banking lousiness carried on in
Newport, Isle of Wight, under the firm of Sir Richard Bassett
and Co. In 1842, this bank was considerably pressed, and
in fact insolvent. A number of gentlemen unaware of the
fact, however, proposed to amalgamate, if he might so say,
into a joint- stock bank, the operations and business of the
other. These gentlemen were of the highest standing and
respectability in the island, and the bankrupts at once ac-
ceded to their proposition although they were then, as was
subsequently discovered, actually insolvent to the
enormous amount of 50,000 or 60,000 pounds.
He (Mr. James) would direct his Honour's attention
to this fact, fully confident that that alone would afford suffi-
cient reason for refusing their certificate. But there was
something of even a deeper dye than this non-disclosure of
their insolvent condition. Mr. Blackford, on being asked
whether a true statement of the assets of Bassett's bank had
been furnished to the directors of the joint-stock bank, said
that he was not aware such was required. He (Mr. James)
would prove by witnesses that Blackford had said that that
statement should be furnished every hour; but it never
was furnished, and the most paltry excuses were alleged for his
non-compliance in this respect--such as that the customers
of Bassett's bank would feel aggrieved if their private
affairs were exposed, &c. Yet all this time Blackford knew
that he and his partner were insolvent ; and he still stated,
not once but often, not to one person but to many, that the
bank was perfectly solvent. The shareholders and directors
of the joint -stock bank were grievously deceived, and a debt of
63,0001. was saddled upon them, in consequence of the bank-
rupts' misconduct. The joint-stock bank paid off a sum of
Glyn and Company for 21,000/., thus purchasing the business
of the old banking-house, and they then placed the bank-
rupts in the confidential position of managers of the concern.
The bankrupts had now entered upon a course of deceit in not
communicating the state of their affairs, and in order to
screen themselves from the just indignation of the directors,
they tried all manner of shifts, some of which he should lay
before his Honour. They had pledged a number of secu-
rities, as deeds, promissory-notes, and so forth, with
the Messrs. Currie, to an amount stated to repre-
sent thirty-two thousand pounds. This they had no
right to do, for the property was that of the joint-stock bank ;
but the bankrupts' motives were simply to patch up the
falling credit of Bassett's bank, and they did so for a time
by this contrivance. His Honour would find that, on the
14th of November, 1842, a letter was written to the Messrs.
Currie and Co. by Mr. Blackford, stating that he " would feel
obliged if Messrs. Currie would forward promissory notes of
Bassett and Co., as per other side," and be signs this as
manager of the joint-stock bank. Those securities were
no more theirs than they were his (Mr. James's),
and the Mesirs. Currie thought that they were parted with
to the joint-stock bank. On the 21st of November a similar
circumstance occurred, and again a third in December, mak-
ing in all upwards of 9,000/. got in this manner, which he
(Blackford) took credit for. They were all this time
insolvent, and they knew it; but when • certain of
the old customers to Bassett's bank wished their sums,
or nominal sums—for there were no assets to meet
the claims of creditors—to be transferred to the joint-stock
bank, the bankrupts did so, thus, in fact, saddling
their debts on the shareholders and directors, whose confi-
dence they had so sadly abused. He might continue the
calendar of their misconduct, but he thought he had said
enough to make his Honour pause before granting the bank-
rupts certificates, and he would now call witnesses into the
box to prove these allegations.
The bankrupt Blackford was placed in the box, and his
examination, by Mr. Lucas, was going on when our re-
porter left.

UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.)
William Etheridge, landlord of the White Horse Inn, Fann.
street, Aldersgate, was placed at the bar charged with steal.
ing a wooden frame and some wood letters, the alleged pro•
perty of George Jasling, landlord of the Cricketers, at Cam•
berwell.

The complainant stated that he took the Cricketers from
the prisoner, whose name in large wooden letters was over
the front of the house. The prisoner had on several occasions
asked for the letters forming his name, which were refused,
and at four o'clock that morning he brought some men with
him, and proceeded to take down his name, when complain-
ant, hearing the noise, went out and gave him into custody.
Mr. Child, the solicitor, contended that there was not the
slightest pretext for charging the defendant, a highly re-
spectable man, with felony. ; that the wooden letters, com-
posing his name, were not included in the inventory of the
goods purchased by the complainant, when he took the
Cricketers from the accused.
Mr. TRAILL expressed his surprise that the accused should
have been subjected to the indignity of being given into cus-
tody on a charge for which there were not the slightest
grounds. The Magistrate, having strongly deprecated the
conduct of the complainant in making such a charge, imme-
diately discharged Mr. Etheridge, who expressed his inten-
tion of adopting proceedings against his accuser for false im-
prisonment.
