FRIDAY. AUGCST 15. 184.5.

Often as we have had occasion to direct public atten-
tion to the anomalies of that which, only b.) a str,:tch of
extravagant courtesy, can ha denominated " law,"—as
administered by the inagistfli:l! sages of the comity and
inuiiicipal we have never felt more strongly
called upon to discharge that duty, than by the Roches-
ter ca,e, to which we devoted a parti;eraph. beaded" Ex-
trai:rdinaty Costs," in our paper of Wednesday last. A
man is brought " before a full ix nch of county magis-
trates" at Rochester, charged with an offence, the hei-
itousne.4s of which, no doubt, it must have required all
the wisdom of the Kentish squires." in the commission"
t.) deal with, all the forms 0, a pi,tty s« scion to give ade-
juit! eff i.t.to the itvpo4ii g ec,rerr on) if tryii-g. He was
wcusoi 01'4. haviritt, flatus:4e : ui4lerwood to the amount of
ILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, EAI,
o'ie penny, belonging to S,V
of Cannier." It is well that posterity should be apprised

of the " title, style and dignity" of the landed proprietor
whose property had beeu thus flagrantly and extensively
invaded. It is well that " Young England" sheald have
the enthusiasm of its spirit animated by " a great fact"
like this, so proper to confirm its aspirations for the
times when our country rejoiced in the significant ap-
pellation of " merry England." What an august specta-
cle for the descendants of that peasantry who passed+
but a century ago, even, so large a proportion of their
leisure in out-door sports and athletic pastimes,—what a
noble manifestation of the chivalric generosity of the
Kentishmen and Men of Kent,—are presented by the
trial of such a delinquent as this relived JAME CADE, this
devastating "GEORGE LOFT" of Meopham. "The judge-
are ranged—a terrible show :" the case is stated, evi-
dence is called, and there is damning proof that GEORGE
LOFT, being instigated by the author of all evil, has
" at the time, and place, and in manner articulate," cos•
milted the inexpiable trespass and damage "to the
amount of one penny," by cutting and damaging the un-
derwood. A witness had seen him in the act. The cul-
prit, overwhelmed by the enormity and irresistible proof
of his guilt, acknowledges his offence. " The case is
clear," (as the Alabama Judge thundered in the ear of
Silas Fixings, according to the pleasant ballad of the
" Alabama Duel,")--the six magistrates who have heard
it adjudge LOFT to pay the damages—one penny : toge-
ther with sixteen shillings costs.
This is an " equitable adjustment" with a vengeance !
The civil injury is assessed at one penny ; the costs—
for the law harpies, constables, the clerk of the justices,
and the great unknown, who has the residuary and
larger interest in these fees,—at exactly ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY-TWO TIMES as much as the damages 1 That
nothing may be wanting to the dignified, humane, and
purely disinterested character of the whole proceeding,
WILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, Esq., of Canmer, the coin-
pleinant or plaintiff, the " wronged one,"—he whose
rights of underwood have been thus feloniously and des-
perately violated to the amount of four farthings, is
stated (though this fact does appear incredible) to have
been sitting all this time on the bench. In his own per-
son, this " fine old Kentish gentleman," (as we imagine
him to be,) is there—an unbiassed, indifferent, impar-
tial arbitrator, it may be, or rather (if we may judge
by the sentence of the bench), over inclined to extreme
forbearance and humanity towards the offender; but, as
it provokingly happens, in the triune capacity of plain-
tiff, judge, and jury, in his own case:—a magisterial
Brahma, from whose triple function and many• handed
clutch it was not very likely that this penny marauder
should escape. So this council of six condemned the
man to pay the ld. in the shape of damages, and the
sixteen shillings in the shape of costs, or in default of
payment to committal to the House of Correction for
one calendar month. The man has not the money, the
magistrates have the option, so the prison has the man.
WILLIAM MASTERS SMITH, Esq., we are afraid, must
now summon up fortitude enough to bear manfully the
damage of his underwood, although it is thus ascer-
tained to amount to one penny, but he may enjoy the
proud satisfaction of having provided GEORGE LOFT
with subsistence for one whole calendar month,
at the expense of the county, indeed, and
to be sure only on prison fare. What
then? Has he not vindicated the majesty of the law ?
Has he net bravely upheld the sacred and indefeasible
rights of property? We marvel at the scandalous dis-
content, the inexcusable surliness, with which the pauper
labourer and the lowerclasses of husbandry regard the
circumstances of their own condition in reference to
those of the condition in which PROVIDENCE has placed
their landlords and employers—the lauded aristocracy
of their neighbourhoods or districts. That these un-
reasonable and unreasoning industrial claases► should
look with a jaundiced eye upon the wealth, the posses-
sions, the luxury of the rich—should be prone to con-
sider themselves little cared for and less protected by
their superiors—should be apt to consider their " natural
protectors" (as these latter term themselves) somewhat
more given to listen to the dictates of selfishness and the
suggestions of self-interest, than the promptings of an
enlightened and enlarged liberality to others, especially
to the poor and unemployed around them ; all this is
most surprising. What can evince a more anxious soli-
citude for their moral welfare, and their inflexible per-
severance in the habitual discipline of honesty than these
visitings of criminal derelictions, even where they ex-
tend to the sacrifice of but one pennyworth of property.
At the same time we are somewhat curious to know
what it is that large farmers—whether tenants or free-
holders—and a powerful squirearchy, who are opposed
to the repeal of the corn-laws, and to every other
measure of that kind which would certainly reduce the
price of subsistence to the poor, and multiply the few
comforts which the fiscal and political exigencies of the
State have left them ; what it is they propose to them-
selves by the merciless straining of every penal enact-
ment which can be brought to bear upon offences intrin-
sically of the most trivial or indifferent character ? We
were once weak enough to hope that Parliament would
not have separated, notwithstanding the important de-
mands of the grouse shooting and Continental tour-
making at this season, without at least passing some
measure to reform those statutes thus elaborately dis-
proportioning penalties to offences and costs to penalties,
under which country justices and police magistrates
" play such fantastic tricks" as make the wretches weep,"
and which are destined (we are firmly persuaded), at no
distant day, to arouse the indignation and resentment of
the public, and to replace such atrocious anomalies by
some more consistent, more decent, more equitable
scheme of apportioning,in every case the punishment to
the delinquency.

The Univ'ersal German Gazelle states that,&" Within
the last few days ten extensive domains have been pur-
chased in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and there is every
reason to imagine that the-se acquisitions have been made
for the Jesuits. It is well known that Father ROOTETAN
has been at Mock."

It appears, from a letter from Constantinople, inserted
in the same paper, that the French Ambassador has re-
ceived assurances from the Porte that the Sheik of the
Drusea, who killed a French priest, shall be punished,
and that the cotivt:nts shall be indemnified for the inju
rn-s done to theta.

Accounts from Lisbon to the 9th instant have been

The Tienipo attributes the ill-success of the Spanish

The FomeNto of Barcelona contains a c3mmunication
from the Finance Minister, according to which ma-
chinery may be imported at a duty of 6 per cent, ad

General CoNcnA had resigned his command—a letter
from Barcelona of the 9th, says : •
" The resignation of General Concha produced a great sen-
sation here. It is said that the principal cause which led to
this resolution on the part of the General was the arbitrary
arrest of 120 persona by General Narvaez, while General
Conchha was at the head of the army, and in pursuit of
the insurgents. General Concha, besides, protested against
the interference of Charo, who was the agent of the police in
the time of the Count d'Espagne, and whom General Narvaez
has taken away with him. This man, who has exercised so
injurious an influence in Catalonia, has allied himself with the
club of ultra-Moderadoes, established at Barcelona to prose-
cute the Liberals and exercise private acts of vengeance.
" M. de Gispert, the ex-political chief, has been succeeded
by M. de Enciso, who was political chief at Soria."
Letters from ALdaga, of the sth of August, represent
that town as in a state of commotion in consequence of
a rise in the price of provisions of all sorts. CAstixEno,

ammunition, had only found a few old muskets out of
repair. He had however caused eleven persons to be
arrested in addition to those now in prison.

to rucal him from Algeria. The College co- Justice of
the colony had r•>monstrated with the home Government
against many of Marshal BUGEA UD'S acts as illegal, and
ha•l sent a memorial to the Minister, claiming his pro-
tection for the colonitls against the Governor. On this
subject the Al yerie says :

Persons ordinarily well informed announce the renal of
Marshal Bugeaud. We believe. however, that the Ministry,
uT,easy at seeing the Governor-General undertaking a war in
Kabylia, in opposition io the will of the Chamber, has called
Alarshal Bugeaud to Paris under some pretext or other, to pre-
vent him from engaging further in an undertaking generally

the richest parts of the Tunis regency, is stated to be
the object of the Turks. The Bey of TUNIS was pre-

BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

The vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Benjamin
Wood, will undoubtedly be filled by Sir William Molesworth,
whose previous services in the cause of liberal government,
and whose address now issued, amply satisfy the wishes of a
vast majority of the electors. It will be remembered that
when the contest took place between Mr. Wood and Mr.
Walter, a section of the Radical party coalesced with the
Tories in supporting the latter. on the ground of his ultra
opposition to the new Poor-law Bill; but that in spite of
this, and of a most lavish expenditure of money, the majority
for Mr. Wood was about 600, leaving many promises un-
polled. But now the Liberals of all shades of opinion are
united in support of Sir William Molesworth, no other candi-
date would have the remotest chance.

Mr. Jeremiah Pilcher, who has announced his hopes of
being selected for the honour, is one of those waverers about
whom it is unsafe to assume anything. He would fain be
thought to be independent; but ii any public act of his may
be taken as an index of his political predelictions, his vote
for Mr. Baring, in opposition to Mr. Pattison, at the last
City election, might be taken in proof of his Toryism. The
Tories, however, disown him, and talk of putting up some
more declared and consistent supporter of their principles.

Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey is the third candidate
named, but we believe by no means ascertained, as an-
tecedent to his consenting to stand, must be the vaca-
tion of his office as Commissioner of the City Police. Sir
William Molesworth has- the advantage of a very powerful
Committee, formed of electors from every district, parochial
or sectional, in the borough, having canvassing-books al-
ready prepared, and all the machinery of an election in active
operation; for which himself, and the Liberal party at large,
have to thank the Southwark Reform Registration Association
composed of a large number of the most active and influential
electors. Among many erroneous statements which appear
in the Times this morning, and one of which the Morning
Advertiser has not escaped, is the assertion that certain pre-
liminary meetings of the electors had been attended by Mr.
Black, the late editor of the Morning Chnmicle. That gen-
tleman has not taken the slightest part in the affair; and it
is unaccountable how Sir William Molesworth's friend, Dr.
J. R. Black, could have been assumed to have any con-
nexion with the Morning Chronicle, either past or present,
as we are assured that his name, on either occasion, was not
even mentioned with reference to that journal. For our-
selves, we -have the utmost reliance on the prudence and
vigour of the Liberal electors of Southwark, and, therefore,
on their success.

LITERATURE.

MY MARINE MEMORANDUM BOOK. In

Tlu ee Volumes. By Hargrave Jennings.
We should be very sorry to see any diminution of the
eagerness after, and the ta,te for, nautical productions,
which characterised the reading world a year or two
back. We are so essentially a nautical people, have
done so much to render our name memorable on the
sea—witness the long list of our naval worthies, and the
indemitable spirit and daring energy of our gallant
tars—in short, have effected so much to be proud of in
our relations with the mighty element, that works which
tend to foster and confirm this spirit, and this national
bias, as they deserve, every kind of en-
couragement.ghout to mOeue'
Our sailors and our ships. are fine sub-
jects for the novelist, let alone that strong-and exciting
interest which must always attach to the sea for its own
sake. Sea life, in all its phases. and the magnificent
ocean, under all its unultitudineus changes, present inex-
haustible treasures to those naturally gifted in their ex-
ploration. None others should attempt them. With
these books we have been greatly pleased. We do not
hesitate to say, and we are sure that a perusal will con-
firm our remarks, that they exhibit first-rate originality
and power, and a command of materials, and an ease
and finish in style, and a brilliancy of imagination,
which we would consider likely to bring them into ex-
tensive circulation and universal favour. The battle and
the breeze ; scenes at sea ; scene s ashore ; the humours
of ship board, and an array of the most amusing and
laughter moving stories, constitute the staple of these
volumes. All is well done ; and some of the anecdotes
are irresistibly comic. The first volume comprises a
story of deep interest, told in the author's happiest man-
lier, abounding in incident, and well sustained throughout.
The description of the chases of the West Indiaman by
the privateering man-of-war, and his fierce pursuit across
the broad Atlantic, is detailed in such a way that it could
fairly stand the test of a comparison with Cooper in his
earlier and better works. Mr. Jennings, however, is no
imitator. The work is full of original thought, and he
possesses in a high degree that quality in which Cooper
is lamentable deficient—wit. His pages absolutely
ps• arkl- with briillaut passages. He has a high poetic
feeling. The following passage, for instance, from his.
observations on the decks, is true poetry, and poetry of
a very high order :—" Before the suspected blood-thirsty
disposition of one or two of the ships, I saw placed the
prudently mollifying intervention afforded by a lowered
port, one of the series of shutters which serve as eyelids,
closed in t, uce to those glaring balls, t'ie Argus optics
of the batteried ships, wlzse glances are flames." lhese
books are full of amusement and drollery. We might

PORTRAIT OF MADEMOISELLE CERITO,

We have just been favoured with a view of a splendid
engraving by Every, from the original by F. Simoneau,
of Antwerp, of a portrait of Mademoiselle Cerito. As
a portrait it is most truthful, and as a picture it is a
perfect gem. All those who wish to have a reminiscence
of the fascinating little " realist" of Naples, who is so
soon •o quit ui, should purchase this beautiful engraving.
Simoneau, the artist, was the only instructor of the late
Madame Soyer, a lady whose premature loss all lovers of
art have never ceased to deplore. The original painting
Simoneau is in the possession of Monsiiur Soyer.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
The ball was well attended, indeed all the nobility in the
neighbourhood were attracted to it, amongst wham we noticed
the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the Ladies Somerset,
the Marquis of Mardi°, d, Marquis of Anglesey, the Marquis of
Donegal, Lords Wilton, Dillon, and others, amounting to 330.
Dancing was kept up with much spirit, and all seemed highly
delighted.
Un Thursday a splendid silver cup', value 501., was sailed for
by large class schooners of 140 tons and upwards. The follow-
ing splendid yachts started at ten o'clock, with a fine breeze
from the N. W. :—Xarifa schooner, 185 tons, the Earl of Wil-
ton owner ; Gitana schot,ner, 168 tons, J. Digby Murray,
Esq., owner; Galatea schooner, 190 tons, C. H. M. Talbot,
Esq., M.P., owner; Emmeline brigantine, 204 tens, E. N.

Gitana. The Xarita could hardly have been so successful.
The Emmeline was considerably astern. There was not suffl •
cient wind for the heavier veseels—there was a nice breeze, but
the Galatea and the others wanted halt a gate. There they
are at home, arid can show the boasted of " Baltimore clip-
pers" the way over the waves. They were a fine sight up the
back of the Wight, pressed on by wind and tide. The Zephy-
retta in at twenty minutes past six, and the Gitana and Gala-
tea in sight off Old Castle.

A curious disr•overy wav made by Mr. Wright last
week among the archives- at Southampton, of a book contain-
ing the vigmal naval laws of that port as early as the four-
teenth century. One of them is,
that if the majority of the
sailors a vessel on the point of Failing were of opinion that
the wind was unfavourable, and the vessel was wrecked after-
wards, the captain was responsible for the value of the goods
lost. It is supposed that these are the earliest naval laws now
extant.

MONEY and COMM EW lAL NI!: S
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at' Liverpool yesterday, was very
firm. Sales 7,000 b.,les, at full prices: 1,000 being on specu-
lation. Shares were very dull, and there was a decline in
prices. . . . . .

We hope it may not be correct, as stated in advices from
the Continent, that at the great Zollverein meeting, now
being held at Carlsrhue, Prussia finds itself, on account of its
liberal principles, in a decided minority, because the whole
weight and influence of that power would be thrown into
the reduced duty scale, and the opposition of the other states
must wax stronger if, in the present instance, the
views of the Berlin Cabinet should be se. aside. If ever the
injurious character of arbitrary constitutions was felt, it is
in this special instance of commercial relations. Here are
the poor folks of half Germany bandied about at the caprice
of their princes, petty or great, merely because these are
accessible to the narrow•minded influences of a
few cramped manufacturers greedy for protection,
and apparently the less able to support fair competition, the
more they are bolstered up. The consumers suffer conse-
queni!y, both in respect to the price'they pay for their manu-
factures, and the restriction they put upon the foreign out-
lets for their corn.

The Funds are down a little, and the weather is again
the cause. The renewed firmness in the corn mar-
ket acts as an indicator of rather an unfavourable
change in the opinion of the factors since Monday and
Wednesday last, when wheat receded in value. Consols
have been down from 994 to 99 for immediate transfer, and

The Prop essif Cauciiois of Fecamp mentions a circum-
stance which is very curious, if true. Our readers no doubt
are aware that a junction, between Laffittes' Company and
Messrs. Rothschild has lately been talked of, but the paper
above quoted asserts that a pigeon fell from exhaustion at
a place called Benonville, being no doubt en route for Eng-
land, and that a paper taken from it announces the fact a
the treaty between the above parties having been actually
signed on the 28th July.

MARKET NEWS.-(T HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

During the present week, the arrivals of Wheat, of home
produce, coastwise, have been on a most extensive scale,
they having exceeded those of any similar period during the
whole of the present year, by a considerable quantity. The
total supply has exceeded 15,000 quarters, chiefly from
Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire. In addition to that large,
quantity upwards of 2,000 quarters have come to hand by
land-carriage. As might be expected, the show of samples
of the above description of Grain on sale here was large ;
still, however, there was an evident improvement in th,„ de_
mand. At the commencement of the market several specu-
lators made their appearance, and who purchased
nearly the whole of Monday's unseld suppli.s at that
day's quotations ; hence the market was speedily re•
lieved of the bulk of its arrivals. Yet the millers, Ls tar the
last fortnight, were very cautious in their operations, and no
advance on previous rates could be obtained by the factors. '
The advices which have reached us from nearly the whole of
our large grain districts, are of an unfavourable character.
The prevailing demp and otherwise unseasonable weather is
much complained of; consequently, though the cutting of
wheat has been partially coipmenced in Devonshire, Kent,
Essex, &c., very little progresS has as yet been made in the
fields. The imports of foreign Wheat are on the increase, they
having amounted since our last to 11,340 quarters, on a
portion of which home consumption duty has been paid.
fielders of fine parcels would not sell to-day, excypt at an
advance of Is per quarter, and at which the market closed
firmly. Yesterday the duty on foreign Wheat declined
to 19s, and it is pretty evident it will shortly re-
cede to 16s per quarter. in Corn under lock a few specu-
lative purchases were again effected, at extreme quotations
We had a fair show of Foreign Barley, but that of English
was small. Grinding parcels moved off steadily at full
prices, while the value of malting and distilling sorts was
well supported. The arrivals of Malt this week have
amounted to only 2,860 quarters. The best superfine white
qualities sold freely other kinds slowly at late rates. Of

English Oats the supply did not exeeed 1,580, but of Irish
.thtt loreign we retved upwards of 14,000 quarters. Tht:
Oat trade may be considered steady, at full prices.
Foreign Beans being in great abundance, the demand was in
a sluggish state, and prices were with difficulty supported.
The sale for Peas was firm, at full currencies. The same
remark may be applied to Flour. The Seed market was
somewhat inactive, and, in some instances, lower rates were
submitted to.

For the time of year, the supply of Beasts on offer here
this murn,ng was tolerably good, yet the beef trade was
somewhat active, at fully Monday's quotations. From Hol-
land we received 200 Beasts and 340 Sheep; from Germany,
30 Beasts; and from Scotland, 200 Scots. The numbers of
Sheep were small, while the sale for them was steady at un-
altered prices. In Lambs, an improved business was trans-
acted at an advance of 2d per 81b. The Veal trade was
steady, and the rates had an upward tendency. Pigs moved
off slowly at previous rates. Milch Cows sold at 161 to 191
each.
