THE WEATHER.—Sus OFFICE, OCT. 18.

BAROMETER, 30.2.—W1ND W.; fine weather.

Kings as well as subjects,—governments as well as the
governed,—are amenable to its decrees. Its decrees are not
to be made amenable to the policy of governments, or the
wishes of kings. If immortality could be attributed to any
human institutions, we should say that the simple substitu-
tion of the judge's tenure of office in this country of
quamdiu se ben?, geserit," for the old feudal tenure of durante
bene placito, had added incalculable ages to the life of the
British Constitution.

In a country like Spain, still distracted by contending
factions, and not yet recovered from the exhausting struggles
of a civil war,—where military violence is the lever, and
royalty the machinery of an oppressive and sanguinary Go-
vernment,—a Government, the action of which is only felt
in the fierce disorganization produced by the irregular im-
pulses of its resentments or its fears, it is natural to expect
that the office of the judge should be by no means identified
with the fountain of justice. We have lately read, however,
with more astonishment than we ought to feel, of a new ex-
cess of that irresponsible tytanny in Spain, whose excesses
seem to multiply both in character and extent in every
succeeding year. It seems that Senor VALOR, the judge
who presided at the recent trial of MADOZ, LOPEZ,
CORTINA, and others indicted for political offences, has been
summarily dismissed by the Majesty (?) of Spain,
either in resentment for permitting that trial to
eventuate in an acquittal, which, if it be not
intended openly to affirm that law and justice are
mere impostures in Spain, VALOR could not prevent; or for
his having permitted the accused in the course of their
defence severely to reflect upon her Most Catholic MAJESTY'S
most nefarious Government. Why, before any human tri-
bunal this right should not only not be challenged, but must,
in the nature of things, be constantly exercised by every pri-
soner who is not brought up for sentence instead of for hear-
ing, in the first place—who is not gagged or deprived of the
organs of speech, or of his senses at the time of his " com-
peering " before such jurisdiction. If he plead " not guilty "
to charges preferred against him by the officers of an
Executive, whose acts he has resisted, he of course seeks
to establish his plea by showing in what particulars they
who persecute him have exceeded the law or their
own functions. The Judge, and the Commission, or the jury
appointed to try him, can alone be competent to determine
to what extent he has succeeded or failed in his attempt.
If they acquit the laws under which they were appointed we
must presume that they have fulfilled, not violated, their
duty by such acquittal. If they be punished by the Spanish
Sovereign for preferring to do their duty as judges to con-
sulting the wishes of her Ministers as the creatures of the
Court, we predict for all Spaniards a yet more terrible
humiliation than that which has been inflicted upon
them in the disgrace of Senor VALOR. The next step
in the march of arbitrary and vindictive oppression will be
to visit personal, perhaps capital, punishment on such of-
fenders in place of mere official dismissal and degrada-
tion. If the Spanish people permit such a manifestation of
capricious tyranny as this to be directed, with impunity,
against one of the most important functionaries that can be
recognised in any civilised state—they are fallen indeed to
the lowest level of domestic villeinage and slavery that ever
excited, in the countries of the neighbouring African conti-
nent, the contempt or the pity of their Gothic ancestors !

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE GLOVER.
Miss Mary Ann Glover, described in the schedule as other-
wise Mary Roberts (the daughter of the celebrated actress),
came up on her petition for an interim order.
Her debts were about 5701. There was no opposition, and
the interim order was granted without the insolvent being
examined.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS GROSS INSTA:'‘ CE OF INTEM-
COVMVT-G11.7231E1NT. I PERANCE AND NEGLECT.

It would, perhaps, be difficult to discover a stronger
instance of the shocking effects of habitual intemperance,
than has been afforded by an inquiry instituted on Mon-
day and Tuesday last week, at an inquest held by A.
B. Bone, Esq., Coroner of Devonport. It having come to
that gentleman's knowledge, that reports were in circu-
lation to the effect that a pauper, named Holmes, living
in the neighbourhood of Cornwall-street, had died, not
precisely by foul means, but through want and neglect,
so deplorable as to be criminal, Mr. Bone, very properly
issued an order for the exhumation of the body of the
deceased, with a view to the investigation of the real
causes of death. The remains of the deceased were
accordingly disinterred, aad a post mortem exami-
nation having taken place, a jury was impannelled
to hear the evidence adduced, and from which it appeared
that the deceased was a very old man, residing in the top
room of a house in Cornwall-street. On Friday, the 26th
nit , a woman in a state of intoxication brought an overseer's
order for medical attendance on Holmes, to the residence of
Mr. J. Bennett, one of the parish surgeons. Mr. Bennett was
from home on professional business at the time, but having
returned about two hours afterwards, he immediately visited
the patient. He found Holmes lying on a bed placed on the
floor, suffering from an apoplectic seizure, speechless, helpless,
very much emaciated, dreadfully pale, and evidently beyond
hope of recovery. There was no one present, no furniture
except a chair and table, the latter of which was turned up
and placed across the foot of the wretched bed to protect the
unfortunate man from the draught of the door, and the room
was also destitute of food, drink, and fire. Mr. Bennett
made inquiries to ascertai❑ if the man had friends, sad
was told that he had a wife, but she was from home. One
of the inmates of the house offered to go and fetch the wife,
and in a few minutes after returned with her—she was
shockingly drunk. Mr. Bennett upbraided the wretched
creature for her culpable neglect; and apparently succeeded
in awaking feelings of remorse, for she went down on her
knees by the bed-side, spoke to
.the poor sufferer in tones
of affection, and manifected a desire to ameliorate his
unhappy condition. Medicine and food were immediately
supplied for the relief of Holmes, and Mr. Bennett
regularly visited him, but it would appear that the amend-
ment was but transient, for the wretched husband was left
alone, unwatched, unattended, and unable to help himself
from the Friday until the Tut sday following, the 30th ult.,
when death terminated his miserable existence. The jury,
after a careful investigation, returned the following verdict :
" That the deceased died from apoplexy, but whether his
death was caused by the gross neglect of his wife, or by na-
tural causes, they could not from the evidence determine."
Another lamentable feature in connection with this case was
the awfully sudden death of an old woman who was employed
to perform the sad office cf preparing the bodyof the deceased
for interment. Like the old man's wife, she also was a drunk-
ard, and whilst occupied in the duty for which she was en-
gaged, she left the bed-room for the purpose of procuring a
stimulant, on returning with which she fell over the stairs,
broke her neck, and was laid dead by the side of the body
she had a few minutes previously prepared for buriall—
West Briton.

LAW COSTS —At the Bicester Petty-sessions, a
few days since, Sarah Tombs, a poor woman of Weston-on-
the-Green, was charged by a looker-out on the estate of the
Hon. EBertie, with having, when in search of nuts in a wood
at Chesterton, damaged the above gentleman's property to
the amount of one penny. She was ordered to pay one penny
line, and the clerk's expenses, 4s. She was allowed seven
days to pay it in. At the expiration of that time she ap-
peared with 2s. towards the amount. This she said she had
borrowed, and she hoped " the gentlemen " would not ins'st
on the other 2s. being paid, for she did not know how to get
it. She was told she must pay, but seven days more would
be allowed her to do so.

DEER- STALKING —Lady Seymour is at Achan-
carry, enjoying the noble and healthful sport of deer_stalking. A
few days ago her ladyship took down a splendid stag.

Several suggestions are abroad as to the most ap-
propriate mode of disposing of the Hudson Testimonial Fund. We
feel, however, that it is a question rather for Mr. Hudson and the
Committee generally than for discussion in the public prints.
Besides, as yet, it is impossible to estimate the ultimate amount,
which already approaches 20,000/.—Sunderland Times.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A LADY OF FORTUNE.—An
inquest was held on Friday, at the Ship Tavern, Charing-cross, on
the body of Mrs. Louisa Webster Seahouse, aged sixty-five years,
a lady of fortune, lately living at the above hotel. The deceased
had been residing with a relation at the hotel for nearly five years.
She was exceedingly eccentric, and latterly had refused to have
medical advice, although she was at times very ill. She would
only allow one person to wait on her. She scarcely ever had any
regular meals, but lived upon milk, arrow root, &c. On
Wednesday ahe was attacked with violent coughing; a medical
man was then called in by her attendant, but she was evidently
sinking from the effects of suffocation. T 1 e surgeon prescribed
for her, but she died in half an hour after from a long standing
disease of the lungs, which was the cause of death.—Verdict ac-
cordingly.

The deputation from the directors of the Isle of
Jersey Railway and Pier Company left the island for London this
morning.—Jersey Times, Oct. 14. _ _

M. liat•rs arrived at Alivares Hotel, yesterday
morning, from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne,
at Bowood Panic, Wilts, and in the afternoon left town, accompanied
by Count Walewski, for the Grange, Hampshire, to pass a few days
with Lord and Lady Ashburton.
