GUILDHALL.

• On Aldermen Challis and Johnson taking their seats
in this Court, a letter was, handed to them from the
Lord Mayor, the purport of which was to the effect,
that the order he had issued on Friday last with respect
to the treatment of William Henry Barber, the princi-
pal in the lato will forgeries. in the Giltspur-street
Compter, had been neglected, and:begged that the pre-
siding Magistrates would investigate the conduct of
those persons whose duty it was to have obeyed his di-
rections. Barber complained of the harsh conduct
that had been pursued towards him in the above prison,
by placing him in solitary confinement. The Lord
Mayor immediately gave direction that that order should
be rescinded, and owing to the neglect in carrying his
Lordship's desire into e&ct, arose the present pro.
ceedings.
Alderman JOHNSON remarked that it was a very se-
rious charge against the prison authorities, and dis-
patched a messenger to that gaol, commanding the at-
tendance of Mr. Whithair, the governor. After the
lapse of a short time that gentleman attended, when
Mr. Alderman Johnson made known to him the com-
plaint of the Lord Mayor, and inquired what was the
reason that his Lordship's order had not been acted
upon ?
Mr. Whithair replied, that Barber had for some time
had
dt
mhaodvedthien
asocie tyc'fa prisoner named Power, who
respectable sphere of life, and therefore
was an agreeable and fit companion. Power, however,
had within the last two or three days been discharged,
and the difficulty arose in providing Barber with a
suitable partner. At the presem period he could only
have common street thieves for companions, and he (Mr.
Whithair) had refrained from associating him with them.
That was the reason why the Lord Mayor's order had
not been obeyed, and which still placed Barber in con-
finement by himself.
Alderman JouNsoN hoped that no harsh influence
would be exercised towards the unfortunate man. He
trusted, therefore, as soon as an opportunity should oc-
cur, that Mr. Whithair would provide Barber with a
companion.

The LORD-CHANCELLOR at at Westminster to-day,

BOOM V. JONES.--JUDGMENT.
The LORD-CHANCEL I.ca gave judgment to-day in
this case, which was an appeal from the decision of the
Vice-Chancellor of England. A person of the name of
Owen Williams, whose representative the plaintiff was,
brought an action against Jones, for the purpose of
obtaining possession of certain property in Wales. An
application was made to the Vice-Chancellor of
England for an injunction to restrain the proceedings
in that action ; but his Honour refused it, on
the ground of the lateness of the application. From
that decision the parties appealed to the Lord Chan-
cellor, and that appeal was argued some time since, and
the Court now gave judgment. His Lordship was
clearly of opinion that the injunction ought to have been
granted to restrain the proceedings at law. The result
therefore of his Lordship's opinion was, that the order
of the Vice-Chancellor of England must be discharged,
and the trial having taken place, the defendant must be
restrained from proceeding further upon the verdict he
had obtained.

FLANDERS MAIL.

Bat:rams, Nov. 6.—The Marquis of Douro, eldest son
of the Duke of' Wallington, and suite, Lord Stanley and
family, General William Crawford and family, arrived
the day before yesterday at the Hotel de l'Europe, at
Liege.
We are assured that the Minister of Public Works is
on the point of presenting to the Chamber of Represen-
tatives an application for a vote of credit of 12,500,000
francs. This sum is divided into 5,500,000 francs, for the
railroad from Tournay and Furboise, 6,000,000 for the
laying down a.double rail on those lines on which at pre-
sent there is only one, and 1,000,000 for certain other
expenses, among which is a grant to the company for
making a railway from St. Trond to Hasselt.
The Minister of Justice received on Monday deputa-
tions from the tribunal of the first instance of Brussels
and Ghent, sent to remonstrate, as far as these tribunals
are concerned, against the Ministerial amendments sub-
mitted to the Chamber on the debate respecting the aug-
mentation of the salaries of the magistrates. The mem-
bers of those deputations assured the Minister that they
should prefer the rejection of the measure to the adop-
tion of the Ministerial plan fixing their salaries. The de-
bate on this subject is not yet concluded. In the sitting
yesterday, M. Castian spoke against the principle of the
measure, which was defended by M. Vishaegen in a long
speech, which the Chamber appeared to listen to with ap-
probation.

was not really a party, but a faction. The undeni-
able reality is, that the country continues to sink
lower and lower in the rank of nations. France has
invested her successively with the cast-off robes of
her kings, and then with the cast-off cap of liberty of
I er Jacobins : but Spain herself has been the chief
author of her own degradation. The soil, sterile of all
true greatness or manly virtue, produces only the
rank weeds of revolutionary passions, of corruption,
of conspiracies.

LONDON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1844.

The Dublin Evening Mail, which is the leading
organ of Toryism in Ireland, professes to be not a
little perplexed and grieved at the recent elevation of
Mr. ERLE to the judicial bench. Sir ROBERT PEEL,
argues our Contemporary, should not have presumed
to make any such obnoxious appointment. He should
have deferred to party prejudice, and surrendered all
opinions of his own on the subject. What, though
Mr. Enui be one of the soundest lawyers of the (lay,
and every way qualified to do credit to the high office
of judge; what, though he be moderate in his politi-
cal views, exemplary in point of character, placid
and forbearing in temper, and just of an age to
enable him to discharge his official duties with
spirit, judgment, end punctuality ?—what, though
he possess all these valuable judicial qualifica-
tions, and even more ? he is a Whig ! that
is to say, he has been seen sitting behind Lord JOHN
RUSSELL on the Ministerial benches, though his voice
has seldom or never been heard in Parliament ; and
this fact alone should have decided the Premier on
rejecting his claims to a judgeship! A Tory only
should have been appointed to the post left vacant by
the resignation of Mr. ERSKINE, even though he might
not happen to possess one single qualification for it.
Such is the tendency of our Dublin Contemporary's
arguments, who, in the bitterness of his spleen at Mr.
ERLE'B promotion, takes the opportunity of de-
claring—what, by the bye, we knew before—
that the Irish Tory party are, to a man, in a
state of grievous discontent with Government,
and by no means solicitous to give it any very
active support. " The Roman Catholics," says the
Mail, " are disaffected to British institutions ; the
Protestants are discontented with the mode in which
those institutions are at present administered. Both
parties are dissatisfied, to the fullest extent of the term,
with the existing posture of affairs." Our Contem-
porary then goes on to state on what terms the Irish
Tories will renew their alliance with Government,
abandon all distrust and jealousy, and throw the
whole weight of their influence into the Ministerial
scalq.„ -"It is for Ministers to consider," hyeeaadrdid%oisr,

The Prefect of the department of the Manche. M.
Ribouet (the Deputy of the department), and M. Noel-
Agnes (the-Mayor of Cherbourg), had al audience: of
the Ring of the French on Wednesday, to present. an
address from the Municipal Council of Cherbourg, ex-
pressive of their regret at not having had the honour of
receiving his Majesty, as they had hoped to do, on his
return from England.
A letter from Marshal Bugeaud has been received at
Perigueux (says the Constitutionneb, stating that the
affairs of the East would force him to postpone his re-
turn to France for upwardS. of a month. It is probable
that it will be only temporary, if it be true that the
Duke d'Auniale has refused the Viceroyalty, or even
the Government-General of Algeria.
The Befunne obbetvvs, that the news from Spain may
be summed up in two lines. " Blood has been shed at
Barcelona. M. Bresson is giving dinners at Madrid."
The Municipality of the City of Paris, says one of the
journals, has for some tiwe been engagedin the improve•
ment,of the public market places. It has repaired those
of La Vallee, St. Germain, Blanes Manteaux, St. An-
toine, La Ma*, &e., and is building an oyster- market in
the Rue Montorgeuil. This is not all. The Marc*t
des Innocens and its hideous adjuncts are to give way to
a Magnificent halle-41ii•ale, and in a few days a con-
tract will be entered into- for improvements in. ate Mar
' eh% St. Martin.

According to the statistics of Puri. (says the Quotidi
enne) this city contains only one baker for every 1,664
inhabitants, and but one wine. dealer fur every 83. If
this statement be correct, Father Mathew would be a
very useful person amongst us.
The number of Protestants at present in Bavaria is

1,226.753. In the last four years there has been an in-
crease of 25,531 ; in that period 8,805 Protestants emi-
grated from the kingdom, 281 turned Catholics, end 17g
Catholics became Protestants.
• A letter from Frankfurt states that the mother of the
Rothschilds, who is 93 years of age, is seriously ill.
The Eco del Comeicio of Madrid, of the 31st ult.,
states that suicides in that capital are of daily occur-
rence. Three persons, one of them a Frenchman, de-
stroyed themselves on the 29th.

his co--accused had asked to he tried by the ordinary tri-
bunals. The following are the names of the accomplices

THE DRAMA AT DONNYBROOK

FAIR.

The preponderance of exhibitions was decidedly in
the theatrical line. Shakspeare was " done" in every
second caravan. Poor lago—for Othello, though
often under different names, seemed to be decidedly
the favourite piece—poor lago did the " double deed,"
in the course of a couple of hours, in at least a score of
places, and in the same place at least a dozen times.
But to do the histrionic ladies and gentlemen who
trod the boards on this occasion that justice which
they have a right to claim, it is proper I should men-
tion that they by no means confined themselves to
deeds of death: there was a pretty liberal share of
the operatic, and no small allowance of the comic and
farcical modes of acting. Nothing appeared to me
more worthy of approbation than the expedition with
which her Majesty's subjects on the Donnybrook
boards severally went through their parts. They lost
no time. None of the audience could complain of
that. "Hp with the rag"—meaning the curtain—
burst from the throat of some merry-hearted auditor,
and up went the curtain with the celerity of light-
ning. "Down with the rag," shouted another in two
or three minutes afterwards, and the play was over in
an instant. Even when the stage-manager and per-
formers were allowed to take their own time to go
through their arduous duties, they evinced a most
praiseworthy desire to be economical of the time of
their auditors. An opera, or something meant to be
so considered ; a comedy, and a farce, were all per-
formed in less than a dozen minutes. Murders were
perpetrated with a dispatch not only unparalleled, but
unapproached in real life. One of the most furious
quarrels ever witnessed—on the stage—between hus-
band and wife, was adjusted in an instant ; and they
who, but a minute before, well nigh frightened all
present out of their wits, lest some murderous deed
should in reality be committed, stood before the now
delighted audience the most loving couple within her
Majesty's dominions. I could not help wishing that
real matrimonial quarrels were made up with an
equally magical rapidity. Were such the case, hus-
bands and wives could afford to have daily at least a
dozen "affairs of the tongue," without either party
suffering in the slightest degree from the wordy col-
lision.—lmpressions of Ireland and the Irish, by the
Author of " Random Recollections."

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

.
The ninth of November is a day marked with a
white stone, in the annals of London, but this morn-
ing exhibited anything but a fair appearance for the
lovers of this great annual pageant. From an early
hour the rain fell heavily, and Guildhall-yard pre-
sented a testudo of umbrellas. In the interior of the
Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Watkins and the Com-
mittee were actively engaged in the course
of the morning forwarding the preparations,
not forgetting, of course, an elegant dejeuner
in the Council-room, to view which a consi-
derable number of ladies and gentlemen were admit-
ted by ticket. At a little past. ten the Lord Mayor '
arrived in the state coach, accompanied by the Town-
clerk, mace and sword bearers, and proceeded to
the Painted-room, where most of the civic func-
tionaries were in waiting to receive him. At twelve .
o'clock it was announced that the procession was duly
formed from the door of the Guildhall into Gresham-
street, when the Lord Mayor, attended by the
municipal officers entered his coach, and the proces-
sion moved forward, amid the ringing of bells and
other demonstrations of city festivity. The Guild-
hall-yard was kept perfectly clear; no one being ad-
mitted except by tickets, which of course prevented
any demonstration of feeling at the outset,
the crowd being kept away by a bar-
rier at the end of Gresham-street, and, there-
fore, unable to appreciate the very apposite
motto, which was emblazoned with the Lord Mayor's
arms, on a temporary and somewhat magnificently
meagre structure, in the front of the Guildhall door-
way, the motto was " Tenax Propositi," an assump-
tion, we suppose, from -Irorace's celebrated ode,
Justum et tenacem propo.si rirurn," Sc.c.
Among the equipages, . none struck .us as

THE DRAMA AT DONNYBROOK

FAIR.

The preponderance of exhibitions was decidedly in
the theatrical line. Shakspeare was " done" in every
second caravan. Poor lago—for Othello, though
often under different names, seemed to be decidedly
the favourite piece—poor lago did the " double deed,"
in the course of a couple of hours, in at least a score of
places, and in the same place at least a dozen times.
But to do the histrionic ladies and gentlemen who
trod the boards on this occasion that justice which
they have a right to claim, it is proper I should men-
tion that they by no means confined themselves to
deeds of death : there was a pretty liberal share of
the operatic, and no small allowance of the comic and
farcical modes of sating. Nothing appeared to me
more worthy of approbation than the expedition with
which her Majesty's subjects on the Donnybrook
boards severally went through their parts. They lost
no time. None of the audience could complain of
that. "Up with the rag"—meaning the curtain—
burst from the throat of some merry-hearted auditor,
and up went the curtain with the celerity of light-
ning. " Down with the rag," shouted another in two
or three minutes afterwards, and the play was over in
an instant. Even when the stage-manager and per-
formers were allowed to take their own time to go

through their arduous duties, they evinced a most I
praiseworthy desire to be economical of the time of
their auditors. An opera, or something meant to be
so considered ; a comedy, and a farce, were all per-
formed in leas than a dozen minutes. Murders were
perpetrated with a dispatch not only unparalleled, but
unapproached in real life. One of the most furious
quarrels ever witnessed—on the stage—between hus-
band and wife, was adjusted in an instant ; and they
who, but a minute before, well nigh frightened all
present out of their wits, lest some murderous deed
should in reality be committed, stood before the now
delighted audience the most loving couple within her
Majesty's dominions. I could not help wishing that
real matrimonial quarrels were made up with an
equally magical rapidity. Were such the case, hus-
bands and wives could afford to have daily at least a
dozen " affairs of the tongue," without either party
suffering in the slightest degree from the wordy col-
lision.—lmpressions of Ireland and the Irish, by the
Author of " Random Recollections."

ONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1844

The Archdeacon of Surrey, the Venerable S.
\VILBERFORCE, held his Visitation on Monday last, at
St. Saviour's Church, Southwark. The Charge which
he delivered on this occasion was remarkable for the
firmness of its tone, and the sound and rational reli-
gious spirit that pervaded it. There were no needless
p.riplirases—no beatings about the bush—no jesuitical
haltings between two sets of opinions. Unlike the
Bishop of LONDON—who has been appropriately
called the Sir ROBERT PEEL of the Church—in his
notorious Charge of 1841, the Archdeacon did not
deem it expedient to oscillate like a pendulum be-
tween High Church and Low Church; to curry
favour with the former in one passage, and with the
latter in another; to discuss essentials as if they were
mere :trifles, and to raise trifles to the dignity of
essentials. No such timid or evasive spirit was
visible in Archdeacon WILBERFORCE'S Charge.
He seemed to feel that his subject did not admit of it,
and that it would only be degraded by such a shuf-
fling mode of treating it. Accordingly, nothing could
be more perspicuous than his language, or more
decided and straightforWard than his views. We
allude, more particularly,' to. his remarks on the
subject of the Tractarian heresy, on which he
expressed himself with a distinctness and cogency of
reasoning that must have carried conviction to the
understandings of all who heard him. The Arch-
deacon is clearly no Tractarian. The specious falla-
cies of these Divinity sophists—whose name, we are
sorry to say, is Legion—have no attraction for him—
have made no impression on his acute intellect.
He pierces at once through the shallow dis-
guise in which they clothe their Romanism ; tracks
them through all their doublings ; and shows them, as
they really are, insidious enemies of the Church under
the pretext of being its best friends. " The causes which

first separated our Church from Rome," observed the
Venerable Archdeacon, " remain altogether unre-
moved ; those perilous corruptions of the highest
taiths, which forced our Reformers to come out of
her, as for their lives, continue still within her, and
disfigure her communion ; what, then, can we think
of those, who being placed by PROVIDENCE within
this branch of His holy Church, go over willingly to
the blindness of those self-chosen errors ? Surely
whatever may be their attainments or their zeal, we
must think and speak of them as of men given over
to a great delusion !" The venerable speaker then
went on to trace the course of these Tractarian
zealots. At first, no doubt, they had a distinct
perception of the evils of Romanism, but other
features of the system possessed attraction for them;

" E. W., C. W. D."
The handwriting is that of the young man, and
displays much firmness. The letter was sealed' with
black wax, with the following motto :
" Absence pains, but cannot alter."
Not the remotest idea can be formed by the fami-
lies of the deceased respectin,, the cause of the de-
plorable occurrence. No doubt the contents of the
letter will assign their motive, and will be read before
the Coroner's jury. The deceased Duckett was a
ge.ntletnanly young man, and it is stated that he was a
clerk in the Tower Hamlets Court of Requests House.
Such, however, we understand, is not the case, for,
as we are informed, he has not been in regular
employment for some weeks past. This is reported
to have been one circumstance that must have affected
his mind, although he never wanted for anything, his
father being in a respectable way of life as an ac-
countant. As regards his unfortunate partner, the
poor girl, her mind of late has been affected ; she
was the daughter of a surgeon (deceased), and her
mother resides in Cannon-street-road, in a respectable
sphere of life.
