SURREY THEATRE.

Since our last notice of the Surrey Theatre, " Lore in
a Village," and the " Siege of Belgrade," have been per-
formed with Miss Fergusson, Miss Graddon, and T.
Philipps. The Rosetta of the former is by no means equal
ssense
to her Patty; and indeed the songs of the character de-
mand so much of powers and cultivation, as to render it
any

opinion
and feeling, and will do well with time and good teaching.
Of young Meadows, under female personation, we can say
nothing in commendation, it is a uon-descript of the new
school, confounding all unity and probability in any less
questionable forth. Miss Graddon is to our palate " une
morceau delicieuse ;" her voice and intonation are equal to
any English singer of the day. Phillipps's Hawthorn
exhibits further specimens of excellent ballad singing, par•
ticularly that of the introduced song in the third act,
" The Bleak Winter Day ;"—though his voice is inferior
to that of his pUpil at Covent-garden, Mr. Wood, the part
was acted to the life, and gave universal satisfaction.
The " Siege of Belgrade" on Friday, was folly attended
and well performed throughout. Philipps, in the Seraskier,
compensated by his acting for deficiency of vocal powers,
compared with Brehm ; it is but justice to say his science
and knowledge were evident in Storace's beautiful music.
Miss Graddon's performance of Lille would be actually
perfect, but for ma!-introductions, (tha consequence of
the " Malaria" of the season), a contagious example the
more to be regretted, as this young lady's talents as a dra-
matic vecalist are of the highest order of pretensions • but
could absurdity itself affect a more incongruous association,
than the dashing Serjeant and the Echo Songs delivered
by an Austrian peasant? Miss Fergusson in itethiainre

and her singing was evidently improved from her •
attempts. Our space will not admit further particulars,
or more extensive notice.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

(FROM THE TIMES.)

We are happy to be enabled to lay before the
public, from an authentic source, the following im-
portant statement of facts, decisive, we think, of
the fate of Greece. On the arrival of the Rifleman
English brig of war, from Egypt to the Morea, with
despatches from the Pacha for his son Ibrahim, and.
fer the English Admiral on that station, the Com-

menders of the three allied squadrons—=namely,

Commodore Campbell (in the aisence of Admiral
Codrington, re-called), Admiral Count Heyden,
and Admiral de Rigny—had a conference with
Ibrahim, at Modon, on the 6th ult., the anniver-
sary, by the way, of the Treaty of London. The
three former, acting in concert, begged to know from
the Egyptian Chief the nature of the answer which
he had reecived from his father, and whether his
Governments theyto prevent
new instructions embraced the immediate evacua-
tion of the Morea. Ibrahim replied that they did,
in the fullest and most unequivocal manner : that
he was consequently prepared to depart with all his
forces, and that he only waited for transports to
convey them home. The Admirals then stated,
had
()
hiiu
from carrying off any of the Greeks as slaves, and
therefore that his Greek captives be liberated
ftrhoamt it n
heierva respectivecuati theG country,
as a preliminary to his departure. T„ this
condition the Pacha consented in the fullest
and readiest manner, declaring that he would
embark without a single Greek prisoner. The
Christian Commanders then introduced the subject
of the numerous Greek slaves who had already
been transported to Egypt, and demanded, in the
name of their Governments, the liberation of these
unfortunate beings. To this demand the Pacha
refused to give any satisfactory answer. The cap•
tives in question, he said, had been sold, distri-
buted, or dispersed over all parts of the country,
and could not easily be recovered, collected, or re-
stored. He therefore declined to make any engage-
ment on this head. Returning, then, to the sub-
ject of the evacuation, and the means of conveyance
for the Mussulman troops, the Admirals expressed
some suspicion, that without a guarantee for his
good faith, Ibrahim might, under the pretence of
transports for carrying his army to Egypt, introduce
provisions
and stores, to enable them to maintain
their position still longer in the Morea. Thus the
blockade of the Allies would be, in fact, broken,
and the war prolonged, by duping the Allied Ad-
mirals. To this the Pacha answered, that the Al-
lied squadrons would be permitted to enter the bay
of Navarin along with the transports, and see his
engagements executed under their own eye. One
feature which distinguished this conference from
every preceding interview with the infidel chief con-
firms our confidence in the fulfilment of the pledges
to which it led. Oa former occasions Ibrahim ex-
cluded his staff-officers : on this occasion they were
admitted to hear his stipulations, and to share his
responsibility. Six of these officers, one of them
a Frenchman (Colonel Seive), attended, and gave
their separate sanction, both to the extent and the
honesty of the wily Egyptian's engagements. They
not only declared their concurrence in the assurances
given, but added, that if the Pacha should endea-
vour to break his promises, he could no longer
hope to command their services; thatithey were
glad of the opportunity which now presented itself
of retiring from a country where neither success nor
glory could be acquired, and that they would prefer
any fate to that of being cooped up, cut off from all
communication with their resources, and starved in
the desolated land which they now occupied. After
some other arrangements had been made, and re-
newed assurances given with respect to the evacua-
tion of the Mores and the surrender of Greek cap-
tives, the conference broke up without deciding any
thing with respect to the mode of leaving the for-
tresses in the Morea at present occupied partly by
Turks not belonging to Ibrahim's army. Thus, if
the word of the wily barbarian, solemnly pledged to
the Allied Admirals—confirmed by his chief officers
—and enforced under the vigilance of European
caution, can be relied upon the Morea may be con,
sidered as already evacuated by the mere menace of
a French expedition, before a single soldier of that
expedition has embarked for Greece. In these cir-
cumstances, it becomes important to ask, will that
expedition sail, and what purpose can it be intended
to serve in a country where it cannot expect to en-
counter an enemy ? Our answer is, that it
will undoubtedly sail, and that the confer-
ence to which we have above alluded, }yin
produce no erect on the determinations of
the French Government. Between 15,000 and
20,000 will proceed from Toulon to the Morea.—
The purgation and protection of the soil of the Pe- s
loponnesus from infidel violence will be their first
duty. Their own enthusiasm, acting on the policy
of their Government, will soon lead them beyond
the Isthmus of Corinth, to sweep from the whole
Grecian territory the hordes of the Porte. Athens
will be again found to compose a part of that classic
land, in spite of the decision of some of our learned
Statesmen; even Livadia will be included, and all
south of a line between the Bay of Volo on the
east, and Arta on the west, will be declared inde-
pendent of infidel despotism. The French officers
who are to command the expedition are full of
ardent attachment to the cause, confident that their
Government will not renounce the glory which they
may acquire, as their neighbours did the laurels of
Navarin. Leave will be given, as has been stated
in the French papers, for young Englishmen of dis-
tinction to join the liberating force as volunteers ;
and, to show the cordiality of concert between the
two neighbouring Governments, not only will a pro-
portion of English transports be employed in con-
veying the French troops, but some English men-
of-war will be employed as transports for that pur-
pose. The magazines of England, too, in the
lonian Isles, will be at the service of time expedition.
As we have.now entered so warmly into the Turkish
contest, we must have got a warning for the future
not to call our victories untoward everts"---a
species of political self-denial, which has already
brought the Cossacks to the foot of Mount lemus,
and will, in a few months enable the white flag to
supplant the crescent in the Acropolis of Athens.
(FROM THE MORNING HERALD.)

ness should beset his Majesty's lieges, has
induced them to withhold licenses from many
of those houses of entertainment, or rather of recep-
tion, called hotels—against which alone no com-
plaint of irregularity ever has been, or is ever likely
to be made. Truly this is marvelously wise ; and
their Worships must think the world marvellously
stupid not to see through the drift of the whole
py„c„ding. We would not for the world insinuate
that any thing like a sinister feeling had fousel its
way into the Councils of Gog and Isiagog, or into

any other Councils, upon this occasion. We should
rather say, with Churchill, that
" The heart waa honest, but the bead was weak."
But then comes the question—why are weak heads
allowed to deal with matters of so much moment to
individuals and the community? If a man dies of a
fever, of which, by proper care, he might have been
cured, it is-but a poor consolation to say that his
apothecary was a simpleton; and if a In'ace of
Justices ruin a man for want of knowing their duty
better, it is but a sorry satisfaction to the trades-
man, who may perhaps be 'ending his days in a pri-
son, that his fate is only owing to an error in judg-
ment. It is curious to observe the pains which are
taken to give the most confined and circumscribed
interpretation and application to an Art which, it is
clear, ought to receive the most liberal and extensive
one : for, in the first place, the object is manifestly a
most wise and salutary one, as far as the public are
concerned ; while, secondly, towards individuals it is
merely an act of common justice. That such ob-
jects are to be frustrated, as We now see them, is a
great crying evil : but one which, like some others.
when forced into an extreme, will, in the end, work
its own cure; lee, surely, if any thing were wanting
to induce the Legislature to take from such hands
power so much abused, it must be the insulting
tone towards itself with which these proofs of Ma-
gisterial justice arid wisdom are accompanied.

(FROn THE MORNING cHEONICLE.)
'We believe we are not, singular in wishing that
our judges, in passing sentence of death on criminals,
would confine themselves as much as possible to the
affairs of this world; for it would be no easy matter
to say whether they, or the Methodists, who tell us
of the blessed state of mind into which they have
brought the prisoners in the interval between the
sentence end its execution, do most to demoralize
the people. If the expectation of punishment here.
after be a doctrine calculated to promote upright
conduct here, we aught to be extremely cautious
how we hold out to such criminals as murderers the
hope of their salvation by their repentance. The
Judges, however, act es if they deemed it a part of
their duty to say all the fine things they can think of
to persuade the criminal that the gallows will be but
a step in the ascent to Heaven. They do not seem ,
to be in the least aware that they are exercising
their humanity at the expence of the morals of so-
ciety. It never can be the interest of society that
the horrors of the situation of the. murderer, Or any
other criminal who forfeits his life to the law, should
he mitigated by a mawkish sympathy. We cannot,
by anything we can do here, change the doom either
for better or worse of the man entering on another
stage of being; and the hopes held out by the Judge
cannot, any more than his denunciations, affect the
,:iminal's fate. But the consequence, to the 'crimi-
nal himself is not the question; but the consequence
to the hundreds of thousands who read what falls
from the Judge, and who may have their dread of
(-rime shaken by the idea that repentance is never
too late.

" You sent (said the Lord Chief Baron, in addressing
himself to William Corder)—you sent this unfortunate
woman to her account, without giving her any time for
preparation. She had no time to turn her eyes to the
Throne of Grace for mercy and forgiveness; she bad no
time given her to repent of her many transgressions; she
had no time to throw herself on her knees, and to implore
for pardon at the Eternal Throne. The same tmasure is
not meted out to you; a small interval is allowed you for
preparation. Use it well, for the scene of the world closes
upon you ; hut another, and I elope a better world, is
opening for you. Remember the lessons of religion which
you received in the early years of your childhood ; con-
sider the effects that may be produced by a sincere repent-
ance ; listen to the advice of the Ministers of your religion,
who will, I trust, console and advise you how best to meet
the sharp ordeal which you must presently undergo."
His Lordship evidently believes that the pro-
spects of Corder are much better than those of the
woman he murdered, and that the day or two at
most of preparation allowed him give him a great
advantage over his unfortunate victim. What an
idea of the Almighty is here conveyed in the sup-
position that allowance will not be made for the cir-
cumstances wider which this poor young woman
was hurried out of the world, and that the brief and
questionable repentance of an individual placed in a
situation in which he can do nothing else, gives him
a better prospect of future happiness. It is for the
interest of society that not a ray of hope should-be
held out to those men whose lives are forfeited
to justice on account of atrocious crimes. The
Judge has nothing to do with the feelings or
the prospects of the criminal; he acts for the
good of the community, whose organ he is. As far
as the future fate of the individual is concerned,
as we have already observed, his compassion and
his severity are equally unimportant. It is, there-
fore, a pure piece of supererogation. He is not
called on, like a, Catholic Priest, to give him a pass-
port with his extreme unction. All Divines have
not gone the length of declaring that the repent-
ance of a man under sentence of death for crime
shall be unavailing; but most, we believe, have
thought the chalice of salvation, under such circum-
stances, so slight that, for the benefit of the com-
munity, it should be looked on as to amount almost
to nothing. The Swedenborgians have, however.
laid it down positively, that repentance under a sen-
tence of death is unavailing. " Repentance," it is
said, in " Heavenly Doctrine, " article 124,
" availeth, if the penitent person he in a state of
liberty; but if he repenteth in a state of compulsion,
it is of no avail. States of compulsion may be va-
rious, such as sickness, dejection of spirit under
some great misfortune, the terrors of approaching
death, and, likewise, all circumstances of sudden fear
which deprive a man of reason. When bad men
in a state of compulsion make promises of repent-
ance, and even begin the practice of virtue and
goodness, they generally return to their former evil
Jives when they are restored to a state of liberty..
but it is otherwise with the good." This view of
repentance is evidently much more conducive to the
good of society than that of the Lord Chief Baron.
It is fur the Great Searcher of Hearts to determine
what repentance is and what is not .sincere; but it
is dangerous for man to affect a liberality which may
tempt his fellows to their perdition.
(FROM THE MOANING ADVERTISER.)
For the designs of Russia and Austria, nothing
could have been snore opportune than the death of
Mr. Canning; for he alone, .not of Englaml merely,
but of ail Europe, inspired a wholesome fear into
those ambitious Cabinets. . Of the views of the
former power, the world is in general well in-
formed; those of the crafty Metternich are less
accessible. The position. of Austria- is, at the
present motnent, one of peculiar interest, if not
of insecurity; but there need be little .doubt
that she will extricate herself, though-, it be at
_
the expense both of honour and of
Austria has been, for some time past, rutting.
forth her feelers, and indicating a - determination
rather to share in the spoil than to risk hzrself as an
ally. At the present moment she seems to be co-
quetting between France and Russia; and anxiously
meditating whose enmity it is safest to Ulm., or how
it is possible to reconcile the acquiescence of both
with her own pretensions. The next heir to the
King of Sardinia,. in the legitimate order,. is, the
Prince de Carignan, and his Majesty is not expected
to be a long occupant of an earthly throne. But
a, the Prince has shown some inclination for
liberal institutions, Prince Metternich has disco-
vered that he is not eligible to the succession,
because his mother was not of Royal blood. The
Duke of Modena, therefore, nephew we believe,
of the Emperor of Austria, has been proposed to
the doting Sardinian Monarch for his adoption, and,
it is conjectured, secretly agreed upon by treaty.
The acquisition of Genoa, Savoy, -and. Pied Mont,
with the line of coast, and the command of the
Gulf of Genoa, would be an advantageous round-
ing of the Austrian dominions in Italy, and both
plant her upon the south-eastern part of France,
and close to the latter the entrance into Italy.
The French Government, it appears, has dis-
covered the intrigue in time; and - should Che
Austrian Cabinet be compelled, or find it ex-
pedient, to abandon this ..enterprise, she may fall

into the scheMes,of Russia upon Turkey, and take
as her own indemnity Bosnia, Servia, and DalmaCia,
which, stretching along the Gulf of Venice, are pos-
sessions of -the greatest importance to her, more
especially the last; while should France at the same
time take possession of the Morea, and Russia of
Constantinople, it will want but little to seal the
Mediterranean to the commerce of England. But
Austrian policy rests not here; we have to com-
municate a project, which if not actually wronged,
is at least going the round in high quarters.
Since the imbecility and incapacity of Don Miguel
have become notorious (his crimes might have been
perhaps pardoned), it has been suggested that.
Donna Maria, Queen of Portugal, and daughter of
Don Pedro, should be given to young Napoleon,
Duke of Reichstadt. 11 is hnown that the Emperor
of Austria is anxious to provide him an appanage,
and he stands in the relation of gvandfather both to
the young Quecu and to the Prince. Don Pedro,
it is added, will embrace the offer with joy,
having declared his determination to dissolve the
contract between his daughter and Don Miguel.--
[low far this scheme may suit the interests of Eng-
land and France, we shall. not now stop to inquire.
We give it as entitled to attention, and as engaging
the notice of the diplomatic circles at the present
moment. What cannot fail, however, to arrest at-
tention) in all these projects for apportioning, or
dismembering, kingdoms and states, is, that Prince
Metternich seems to reckon so confidently on his
friend and pupil the Eared Aberdeen, our Foreign
Secretary, and on Field-Marshal his Grace of the
Treasury, that poor old England is neither invited
to share in the feast, or invited to be present at the
wedding.

SUNDAY PAPERS.

(FROM TH E NEWS.)
THE WAR or MOD Al FOLIC] OF THE

ENGLISH UOVERNMENT.

" Be not•too tame neither."

" All France," says the Constitutionnel," sympa-
thises "-in the objects of the expedition to the Morea;
and nothing seems so well to suit with "all France,"
as the prospect of warlike exertion; and an oppor-
tunity to snarl with England. The French papers
of the last eight or ten days, have kept up a regular
running fire against us ; and have now transferred
the whole force of their satire against the Duke of
Wellington and the Government. " The Duke of
Wellington," saym the Journal des Debats, " an-
nounces to the English expectations in the month of
February ; and at the end of July he mourns over
realities." We can afford to quiz our Ministers with
the most thorough-bred Bourbonite, or Bonapartist,
in Paris ; and yet feel ourselves at liberty to trace
that deep-rooted hatred to England, and every thing
English, which is so natural and so national in a
Frenchman. It is not the proper occupation of any
thorough Frenchman to ridicule the Noble Duke
for being. a bungling Legislator; because his blunders
(ira Foreign politics at least), must be the food of
Gallic glory. It is impossible not to place some of
this spleen to the account of the recollections of
Waterloo; and the Duke's unpardonable stupidity
in not knowing when he vas scientcally beaten.
France however is now pushing us ; and bearding
Our spirit. But she ought to know that the present
Cabinet is no representative of the English people;
nor the House that upholds that Cabinet; and
further that it is not with Englishmen any pecu-
liar recommendation of a British Prime Minister
that he is a favourite of Bourbon Legitimates.
Before the Parisians make so free with John
Bull, on account of the imbecility of his rulers,
let
.them look at home. We should not be found
discussing the merits of an Opera Dancer, when
an invading enemy was within six hours' march
of the Tower of London. If we could beat France
with such a military genius as Bonaparte at the head
of her armies, it is time enough at present to scamper
away in bare apprehension before such a Pantaloon
as Charles X. with a brace of Searamnnehes like
Ferdinand and Don Miguel in his train,—even
though un•''English Minister should become their
Motley. Whenever any decisive period shall arrive,
in the exigency of events, that calls England to her
post, it is not the blundering perversity of her Minis-
ters; nor her load of debt and taxation; nor the
suicidal policy of her Aristocracy,—that will prevent
the nation -from righting itself;—whatever mis-
shapen and monstrous alliances may grow out of the
present strange positions. We say strange, because
a period has never before occurred in Europe in which
it was deemed expedient for the principal powers to
remain a sort of quiet spectators of the advance of
Russia on projects which would tend to render her a
formidable naval State ; and give weight and con-
sistency to a new power in the East. It is said
that our quiescence has gone so far as to offer British
ships for the conveyance of the French troops to the
Morea I This expedition will amount to a declara-
tion of war, by France against Turkey; and to the
same in England, if we interfered. Turkey will at
the same time be invaded from the East, the
West, and the South (the army of Persia.)
This certainly shows that our Ministers have great
confidence in the conduct of France at least,—if not
of Russia. We hear of nothing but professions of
the most immoderate moderation on all sides, if we
may so speak. That most unpretending of Sove-
reigns,
the Emperor Nicholas, who at present holds
in iron bondage not more than one-eighth of the en-
tire globe, was gracious enough to await the sub-
siding of the floods of the Danube, before he crossed
that stream; and he has now foregone his rights as
a Belligerent, in a sea where he has not a single sea-
port; and into which he cannot steer a ship, but by
the permission of England ; and this is all done on
the modest and ultra-monarchical plea of modern-
lion! Acting up to this principle, when Nicholas
has captured Constantinople, he cannot do less than
transform his visit into one of pure friendship; ter-
minate the war by giving a dinner and a gala day to
the Grand Sultan and his Harem of Ladies; and in-
sist on paying the shot, with the whole expences of
the contest on both sides. So much for creeping.—
Nations, like men, make their way, it seems at times
on their bellies. We have been puzzled to under-
stand in what light our Ministers have viewed all
this—suspicious movement, to say the least of it;
and we have looked into the councils of the Welling-
ton press for a hint or two thereon. The English Mi-
nistry say (for We will so put it) that France and
Germany must be "primarily" affected by the ag-
grandisement of Russia; and therefore it is time
enough for England to take the alarm when others
do, who are more immediately interested. We
answer this, by saying that both France and Austria
are iii fact.preparing for any turn which events may
take. "Austria is putting her army on the full war
establishment; and the congeoaence will be, that
she Will claim a portion of the spill of Turkey that
lies convenient and adjacent, as a balance to any great
advantages taken by Russia; while France,
which has long been keeping an eye on the
Morea and Egypt,.....being once on the spot,
with an army, will take care of herself. All
this is cut out, before our eyes; and when
the eelaireissement Comes, it will be too late for
England to interfere ; which-scene can only do by
through our ColOnieS
challenging all the, ()trier three parties. We shall
then be told by the bold trio that we have too much
power,

named, viz. between .

sable. Nothing can be more intelligible and easy, that

ranean ; and thus at once' dosing the continent of
Europe upon us at 'their pleasure. There arc now
more available niaterials for such a league, than there
ever were for effecting a similar pnipose in the north
though an object of far less importance to Eng-
land; because, through the, Mediterranean, our.
power in India may be shaken. We cannot then
concede the position claiMed by the Minister's echo,
that France and Austria will be "primarily " affect-
ed by the increased power 'of Russia•in Southern
Europe; Austria can be- bought off' at any mo-
ment, with the mere candle-ends -of such a pro-
ject; and it would 'be the interest of France to
see the power of England crippled by any nation
whatever, though she did not advance a single step;
because her power would be relatively promoted, in
a most incalculable degree. This is the ground
which we take against the existing policy of England,
in conniving at a sly advance to naval power in
Russia ; which, when once made good on the Bos-
phorus—it will be no more within our means to
stem the torrent of the new influence that will set in
against us from the east, than it were to seize on
Mont le Blanc, and placing its peak in the Darda-
nelles, fill up an arm or the sea, and block the Rus-
sian Empire by a new land boundary. We will
suppose that our Ministers are not without some
apprehensions on the points which we have mooted ;
for that would be almost impossible,
" Seeing what we have seen—see what we see."
_ _

The question is, what retaliatory course could be
taken by England under the present circumstances ?
We answer, " by preparing at home, for any neces-
sity of great exertion that may arise ; by economising
on one side of the Irish Channel ; and emancipating
on the other." If Russia take Turkey, let England
take Ireland ; and the balance will not be irre-
mediably impaired. .Beyond this,—we have as
much right to send an army against one Pacha in
Africa, as France has against another in Europe. We
must have • Egypt. It is the only way by
which -we can be -thoroughly indemnified for
the occupation of the Bosphorus and the Darda-
nelles by Russia; for there is no practical dif-
ference between the
,free passage of that strait,
and the occupation; Nicholas might as well claim a
free passage up the Thames, to land Russian Tal-
low and Timber. The claim can never be granted
in any Trealy,—unless the Grand Sultan should
happen to take as much laudanum as would close the
hundred eyes If Aigus. Constantinople must lie in
ashes, before the Russian Fleets can claim a right
of anchorage under the walls of the Seraglio. The
Bosphorus is as much an integral part of the domi-
nion of the Turk, as the Narva is of the Russian.
If the Muscovite happened to be born on the wrong
side of the Strait,—it is no fault of the follower of
Mahomet. Chalice and fortune have given him both
shores—Asiatic and European ;* there is " no an-
cient right of road," as the Lawyers would say, "be-
tween them; all the transit there is, is on suffer-
ance ;" for the waters of the Bosphorus arc but as
a lake, separating one part of the Ottoman capital
from the other, like London and Southwark.
" You do take my life, when you do take
The means by which I live."
_

The Emperor Nicholas has made no very specific
declaration of that which he claims from Turkey;
he is, we suppose, to proclaim that froin the smote
walls of Constantinople; and we shall then get the
key to all the leading intentions in this war of
moderation,—as it will beyond all doubt be named
in future history.

(FROM THE SUNDAY HERALD.)

We perceive, by an advertisement in another part
of our paper, that TUE SUN Newspaper has, in
addition to its former annual donation of Fifty Gui-
neas to the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, made an-
other of equal amount to the Licensed Victuallers'
School, in Kennington-lane. Such generous con-
duct on the part of the Proprietors of that Paper
will not, we feel assured, be lost on the Licensed
Victuallers of the Metropolis, who, of all others,
have it most in their power to make a suitable ac-
knowledgment, and whose uniform liberality and gra-
tiritcla give every reason to balievo that they will
not be found wanting in doing so. The numerous
attestations in another part of our Paper of the
manner in which THE SUN is conducted, render it
wholly unnecessary for us to add our humble testi-
mony to merits so universally acknowledged.

In another part of our Paper will be found the
decision of the Magistrates, yesterday, at Bow-
street, respecting a licence to Ihe Strand Hotel.—
Of the house itself, or of its occupant, we know
nothing. It may, or it may not, be entitled to a
licence ; and we do not therefore call in question
the decision of the Magistrates; but we cannot pass
wholly unnoticed the extraordinary conduct of Sir
Richard Birnie upon the occasion. A few days ago
he declared that the clause in the Hotel-keepers'
Act, "If they shall see fit," empowered the Ma-
gistrates either to grant, Or not to grant, a licence,
as they might deem expedient; yesterday he is re-
ported to have declared that in such a case as the
Strand hotel—the very case, by the bye, to which
his former declaration had reference--the Magistrates
" were compelled to grant the licence of the appli-
cant, and had no choice." Nay, more; his Worship
declared that unless something could be alleged
against " the good conduct of a house," it was justly
entitled to a licence; while, on the former day, he
stated that the character of the applicant and the
conduct of the house had nothing whatever to do
with the matter—that the whole affair rested with
the discretion of the Magistrates, and that against
this discretion there was no appeal. We should
like to know what has produced such an extraordi-
nary change in the opinions of the Chief Magistrate
at Bow-street. Surely the Bishop of Winchester
has not convinced him of " the error of his ways !"
—ln the City these matters have been better ma-
naged. All the licences have been, and most justly,
refused, with the exception of one for the Portugal
hotel; and the Magistrates at Bow-street would
have done better, we think, had they imitated their
example, instead of striking out a path for them-
selves, which is neither consistent with their former
declarations, or with the rights of a large body of his
Majesty's subjects, which it never was the intention
of the Legislature to invade.

(FROM THE SPECTATOR.)

MANUFACTURERS OF MURDER.—Every day, say
the Newspapers, adds something to the fcatful in-
terest of Cerder'Scase. A wen has been identified
on the neck of the corpus delieti! The officer Lea
has produced a dirk, which has been compared with
" the puncture of the heart, the poloration of the
skull, the fracture of the rib," It is unnecessary
to say," adds the tragic scribe, inditing from Bury.
.St. Edmund's, " that where in the Metropolis, so
much anxiety prevails, that here it exists in a more
that proportionate degree. The appetite for new
facts is insatiable. Numerous engravings of the oc-
currences in and about the Red Barn, and portraits
of Corder, are on sale in every book shop in town."
This insatiable appetite does not want feeders. We
are entertained with the most minute particulars re-
specting the person of the prisoner, his manners,
habits, and .how he shakes hands with Mr. Lea, the
officer, and what conversation ensues thereupon.
Lea said—" Well, Mr. Corder, in consequence of
the request you made of me when I last saw you,
that I should call upon you on my return to Bury,
I have accordingly done so, and I am- glad to see
you so well."—Corder—" I am much obliged to
you for your kindness (shaking hands with him
most heartily); do you know that my trial is fixed
for to-morrow ?" Lea—" So I have • heard, and
that it will come on very early." Ceider—"
believe so." The dialogue is continued at great
length in the Journal from which we take
this, and turns upon matters of similar importance.
What gin-drinking is to the body, these murders
and rumours of murders arc to the mind; and as the
appetite in the former case grows with what it feeds
on, so it is with the vulgar taste for crime. 'the
newspapers are the drainshops; and the great and
influential body of penny a-line men are the mann-
,' Does the Emperor of Russia allow the Turk a free
passage through the Straits of Zabech, into the Sea of
Asoph

facturers who supply the liquor medicated to a stb-
! cient degree of stimulation. The practice of paying
men according to the length and breadth of their
" horrid particulars," gives a complexion to our
reading that might well make a sober nation blush.
The nucleus is a crime ordinary in its nature, but
possessing great. capability in its circumstances :
suspicion and report are added till a colourable atro-
city is attained; the ball then rapidly increases;
horror accumulates, the column lengthens apace, the
public pricks up its ears, and the poisonous draught
is then poured in by sheets-full. Give these penny-
a-line men but the smallest fact, and they would,
drive the first man of the country into exile or New-
gate. They are like Archimedes—all they want is a
fulcrum to move the world. Sailors call long
stories yarns: the true " yarn" is a horrid murder
spun from the invention of a penny-a-line man. It is
made for a halter ; and by the very name of a penny-
a-line, it is probably meant equivocally to intimate,
that for a small coin they will fix the fatal cord on
any man. It would be interesting to inspect the
labours of one of these tragic authors. There is an
old song of a drunken Irishman, who sings,
" I have got tenpence, and I'll take it home
to my wife." Ile has more liquor, and his
treasure is reduced to eightpence ; he then
sings, " I've got eightpence, and I'll take it
home to my wife." Thirst, however, pre-
vails, and he sings and drinks until by degrees he
has nethim,' left to take home to his wife. The
progress of a penny-a-line man is the converse of
this—over his first draught of inspiration, he is des-
titute both of facts and pence; but as the porter
"subsides, his invention mounts, and before the final
exhaustion of his pot, he begins to hum, in a lowly
strain, and his muse perhaps gives birth simply to a
dreadful accident or a blunder in oxalics. But here
are two lines;_ his spirit becomes animated, and
his song rises : " I've got twopence—l've got two-
pence, and I'll take it home to my wife." This is a
cheering reflection for a man with a starving family ;
and in the time of the consumption of a further sup•
ply of liquor, his pence have risen beyond the Irish-
man's tenpence. In this elevated state, the trage-
dian is equal to a murder, a horrid murder; and
forthwith commences the mysterious drama with all
its details of " a fearful interest." The public next
morning read the tale as a relish for breakfast; and
each day the penny-a-line man dines sumptuously on
" additional particulars," until the professors of
murder and rape, the editors of Sunday papers, take
the affair into their own hands, aggravate the atro-
city, darken the suspicion, and blacken the horizon
with woodcut; of barns and di•rty portraits both of
the murderer and the murdered. Such is the history
of crime in Great Britain, in this enlightened
country.

FliOM THE ATLAS.

THE REPORTERS' ROMANCE.—Everybody knows
that a person named William Corder, a small farmer
in Suffolk, has been arraigned and tried on an in-
dictment for the murder of a woman, named Maria
Martin, who had lived with him some time previ-
ously, and who had formerly been the companion of
a gentleman. We speak in the language of the mo-
dern reporters, for it would be vulgar to call women
of this class by their proper names. This William
Corder, it appears, knew how to read and write, and
that circumstance raising him above the ordisiary
level of the people who usually commit murder in
this civilized country, his case became immediately
the signal for all the newspaper sympathies in the
kingdom. Most fortunately for the gentlemen of
the press, the name of the place where the murder
was said to have been committed was eminently
propitious for all the purposes of description—it was
called the Red Barn ; and, still more delightful, the
murder was said to have been traced through the
agency of a dream ! It was too good an opportu-
nity to be lost, and accordingly all the bye-paths
about the Red Barn became infested by draftsmen
who went down " special" to take sketches of the
scene of the dark deed. Mystery was heaped upon
mystery—the gate of the cow-house suffered a long
biography, and the rusty hinges of the barn-door were
etched in eloquent paragraphs; from one cottage to
another the reporters prowled about to pick up anec-
dotes, and there was not a tree in the fields upon
which they did riot carve some fearful recollection.
The scene was replete with horrors—the village
was just such a one as would have been selected by
Walter Scott for the scene of a romance; Maria
Martin was metamorphosed into a Jeannie Deans,
and William Corder was tinged with some of the
daring virtues of Geordie Robertson. The As-
sizes approached, the little town of Bury St. Ed-
munds was invested with a tolbooth, and the ima-
gination of the historians of the Sessions Court ran
riot upon the occasion. There was not a vestment
of Corder's, from his neckcloth to his shoe-ties, that
did not tindergo inquisition ; and if his wardrobe had •
happened to be scanty, his necessities would have
endured serious exposure. At the chapel in the
gaol he happened to lean on the thumb of his right
hand during the sermon, ashen out came the note-
books, and down went the statement. On leaving'
the gaol he combed his hair over his forehead con-
trary to his usual custom of wearing it, d la porcu-
pine, but he could not escape the vigilance of his
tormentors ; the inkhorns were out in a moment,
and a careful memorandum made of the change in
his locks. In short, the Corder annals for the last
week would furnish an octavo volume; they far ex-
cel the Nealgate calendar, and out-chronicle the
Chronic/6s of the Canongate. We congratulate our
readers, and the country generally, oe this manifest
improvement in the mode of reporting the proceed-
ings of the Courts of Justice. The dull matter-of
fact brevity of former times is displaced by the ge-
nius of embellishment; murder is no longer a coarse,
butcher-like proceeding; it assumes an air of roman-
tic interest—it becomes inspired with horrors of a
higher grade—it is accompanied by beautifel traits
of refinement. Besides, people are not murdered
now as they used to be ; their brains are not knocked
out by dirty hammers or sledge handles—they are
elegantly stabbed in the lungs, or shot with gentle-
manly consideration through the head; they are never
killed in dark lanes or nasty places, but in remote
woods, or wild mountains, where characteristic sce-
nery assists the imagination of the elegant assassin.
There is no such thing as dragging canals, or sending
out police-officers to hunt for dead bodies ; no, the
machinery of the drama must be supernatural ; a
mysterious revelation conducts the distracted relative
to the grave ; the night winds whistle as the earth
is dug up--a thunder storm ensues---the light-
nings flash—the old ruins are illuminated, and the
victim of credulity is discovered some feet deep in
the clay. We are advancing rapidly to the millen-
nium—the Reporters' Romance will at last transfer
all Mr. Newman's business to the Daily Papers
While, however, all the rest of the wend is marching
to this state of perfection, it is deplorable to reflect
upon the primitive immobility of our Judges and
our Juries; they cannot be touched by the sensibi-
lity, or excited by the ardour of the press; they seem
to remain in a condition of old-fashioned integrity;
they have no regard for the intellectual ambition of
the murderer--they seem to have no feeling in com-
mon with his lofty inspirations; and on .the present
occasion, in spite of the descriptive labours of the
newspapers, the Jury was so vulgarly English as to
find him guilty of the crime with which he was
charged, bcause the eviderm happened to be quite
clear upon the point, and the Chief Baron, riot in
the least governed by the new code of sentiment,
pronounced sentence of death in the old-fashioned •
way, which must have been very shocking to the
disciples of the new school.

TILE CROPS, Sec.—Throughout Ayrshire the
crops never were in a more thriving or promising state.
In the whole line of road from Glasgow to Ayr, there is
not a couple of acres of wheat laid down by the late rains,
while the hay and potatoe crops have been immensely
benefitted thereby. So luxuriant is the crop of eye-grass,
that you may have 100 stones for a couple of pounds; and
the potatoes are so plenty that they are selling on the ground
at Bs. per boll.--EdiOurgh Courant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—John Ki mix,. was charged;

upon his own confession, with having been concerned in
robbing the premises of Mr. York Hatton, of Bridge-
foot, London-bridge, Of property to the value of 1,0001.
and upwards.
Mr. Hatton is a watchmaker and jeweller, and carries
on business at the foot of London-bridge. On Sunday
three weeks, in the middle of the day, and during a heavy
storm, the premises were entered (no person being left in
charge of them) by means of picklock keys, and property
to the amount mentioned stolen. It consisted of 150
watches, gold chains, seals, and other jewellery. No trace
could be had to it, or to the robbers, until a few days since,
when the prisoner at the bar confessed to an officer in the
Borough that he was once of the party who robbed Mr.
Hatton's house, that he received 100 guineas for his share
of the plunder, and that the whole of the articles stolen had
been safely shipped for Amsteidain.
The prisoner now denied any knowledge of the robbery,
and declared that all that he bad stated was said when he
was drunk, and he had not the least recollection of it.
A gentleman attended for Mr. Hatton, who stated that,
in consequence of what the prisoner had revealed, Mr. Hat-
ton had gone to Maidstone, and expected there to get other
information that would criminate the prisoner.
Sir J. PERKING appeared to hesitate as to remanding
the prisoner, no prosecutor appearing against him ; all
that could be said was, that he had made a drunken con-
fession.

Mr. Hobler (addressing the prisoner)—Do you deny
having said what the officer states you (lid say regarding
this robbery?

Prisoner—Why, Sir, I cannot deny any thing ; for I
was 80 drunk that I do not know what I might have said.
I only know that I never had any thing to do with this
robbery.
The prisoner was told that he must be remanded, in order
to inquire whether he had any thing to do with it or mot ;
and with this intimation be appeared very well satisfied.
He is a sailor-looking sort of man, and is not at all known
to the officers as being connected with thieves.
A lady waited on Sir JOHN PERRINO, and informed
him that she had been one day during the week swindled
out of a sovereign, under the following curious circum-
stances, and she wished the public to be put on their guard.
The lady kept premises in the neighbourhood of Lime-
street, and a part of them were let out to a respectable gen-
tleman who was a wine-merchant, and when both himself
and his clerks were absent she was in the habit of taking
in his letters and parcels, and paying for them. On the
6th instant, there being no person in the eounting.house,
she answered a ring at the bell, when a man, having the
appearance of a porter, presented a bottle of patent ink,
stating that he brought it from Messrs. W. and Thomas
Morten, of Ludgate-street, and that he was to receive
3s. 6d. for it, and handed in a written receipt, purporting
to be signed by Messrs. Morten. She, not doubting but
it was all right, proceeded to pay him, but she had not got
silver enough ; she therefore gave the fellow a sovereign,
referring him to a tradesman in the neighbourhood to get
change, and bring it back. The fellow took the sovereign
and left her the bottle of blacking and receipt, but never
snore returned.

Sir Jour' PERRING could afford the applicant no redress ;
but the fact being made known to the world might, perhaps,
spoil the blacking gentleman's trade.

The receipt is 6aaiywritten, and the orthography wretched
indeed.

MARYLEBONE.—Two servants, named Sarah and
Mariha, who were in the service of Mr. W--, North
Bank, Regent's Park, were charged under these circum-
stances :—Early in the morning Mrs. W. thought she
heard the voice of a man in the house, and her husband
being from home she went to Sarah's bed-room, but could
not gain admittance. The voice of the man appeared to
come from Sarah's room, and Mrs. W. thereupon called
the watchman, but before he entered the house a man was
seen to hasten across the garden, and escaped. Two im-
pressions were seen in Sarah's bed, and she did not deny
having had a bed-fellow, but said it was Martha, and
Martha confirmed that part of her statement. In
Sarah's room, were, however, found wine glasses, which
appeared to have been recently used, and fragments
of plumb-cake, a man's silver watch was also found
under her pillow, and a groom's coat and half a pair of brace's
under the window. What rendered the case more important
was, that the wine cellar had been broken open, and four
bottles of Madeira, one of port, and one of currant wine,
was gone. The girls brought forward a coachman, in the
service of Colonel Packenham, who proved, that some days
ago he called upon the girls and treated them with a bottle
of wine, and some plumcake, and, being about to go to
Ireland, he left his watch with Sarah as a keep-sake.
The Magistrate did not consider it was a case for prosecu-
tion, and in discharging the girls, said he was sorry they
had not been able to remove 'the 'strong suspicions -against
them.

George Francis, of 33, North Road, had given a man
into custody for stealing a horse, and when the case was
brought before Mr. HosiaNs, he refused to give evidence.
. .

"take this hook in your right hand," said Burridge,
the officer.

" I've no occasion to be sworn," said Francis.
Mr. HOSKINS—You must be sworn.—" I won't be
sworn," said Francis.

➢lr. HosKiNs--Then I shall lock you up. (To the
Gaoler)—Take them both out and lock them up in sepa-
rate cells.

The gaoler took Francis across the office, but he slipped
away from him while he was opening the door, and running
back to the witness-box. " I'll tell you what it is," said he
to the Magistrate—" This man has took horses for me be-
fore to the knackers."

Mr. Hosiuss—You'll get nothing by being obstinate—
yo❑ must be sworn. Francis—This man is a poor man,
and—

Mr. HosraNs—l'll hear nothing until you are sworn.
Francis at length submitted to the commands of the
Magistrate rather than lose his liberty, and be stated that
he entrusted the prisoner with a house to be sold for dog's-
' meat, and he got tipsy, and either lost or purloined the
money, he could not say which, and he wished to withdraw
his charge.
Mr. Ifasxms told him he acted foolishly in making a
charged he did not'intend to support, and he discharged
the prisoner.
A domestic servant, named Wood was summoned to
show cause why she detained ten 10/. Bank of England
notes, and other property, fio►u the next akin of a person
to whom she was about marrying, and who died suddenly
in her company en the 27th July.

She told the Magistrate the deceased gave the property
to her before he died : but she was willing to submit the
question to any disinterested person, and would abide by
their decision.

Mr. HOSKINS said he had no jurisdiction in the case,
add recommended a friendly arrangement, which was set-
tled, and they left satisfied. •

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SWINDLING. On
Saturday, a man, named Hopkinson, who, it appears, had
resided at 22, and 23, Sussex-place, Regent's-park, and
No. 2, Euston-grove, Euston-square; was charged with
swindling. The prisoner was formerly private secretary to
Mr. Serjeant Rough, when he was Chief Justice of Deme-
rara, and returned to England with-that gentleman. He
had, however, lost the confidence of the Learned Serjeant,
in consequence of the frauds laid to his charge. He ap.
Pealed before the Magistrates in a black tiuit and green
slippers. It appeared, that on Friday evening, a young
woman, who had been seduced by the prisoner, was charged
with having obtained some bonnets from Mr. Hopton, dh
Oxford-street, en a note which purported to.be signed by
Mr. Hopkinson, the banker, of Regent-street. Mr. Hop-
ton, however, abandoned the charge, thinking that the
female had acted under the direction of the prisoner, and
ehe promised not to return to him, but to her parents..,
The prisoner was apprehended the lams evening, and it
appeared that the female, immediately she was discharged by
the Magistrate, had again thrown herself under the pri-
soner's protection. Mr. Green, proprietor of Will's Hotel,
in Serle-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, proved, that about
three weeks ago, a servant dressed in splendid livery, brought
him a note from Mr. Hopkinson, of Euston .grove, request.
ing half-a-dozen of sherry, port, and brandy, to be sent to
his house in Euston-grove ; on the following morning he
would require two dozen more, and then he would pay the
account. In his note he gave a reference to Sir Chailel
Wetherell ; Mr. Green had been. unable to procure paY+
ment of his bill, amounting to 61. I 1 a., and it was disco-
vered that Sir C. Wetherell's name, and also the name of
the Solicitor-General, bad been used on other similar oc-
casions.

Mr. James Francis Wynne, of Great Portland_
street, saddler, produced a note, purporting to be written
by Mr. Hopkinson of Trinity College, Cambridge, and
giving Mr. Wynne an extensive order to tit up his stables,
at 22, Sussex Mews, Regent's Park ; the groom told him
that his master had taken No. :!*-?, in Sussex-place, ant
was fitting it up in a magnificent style ; he sent in some
goods, but having heard the prisoner's character he took
them away again.
Several other tradesmen said they could establish similar
charges against the prisoner, and he was remanded for a
week.
LA Corresnondent states that this man's real name is
Barrow; that he was examined about two years back for
seducing a Clergyman's daughter in the neighbourhood of

Lisson Grove, when he took her to the Sabloniere Hotel,
Leicester-square, from thence to the Key in Chandos-
street, and left the poor unfortunate girl to pay the reckon-
ing:: His name also figured in the. Papers kbout twelve
months ago, for driviug at A furious rate from the Sheriff.'
officers, when stopped on a charge of swindling.]

WAKEFIELD, Aug. 8:

On Saturday last and on Sunday we had some quantity
of rain, and also some heavy showers on Tuesday, since
when the weather has been very fine. Our navigation
having been under repair for some days, the arrivals are
very small, but a fair quantity of Wheat is in the river,
and which will be here this evening, samples of which are
offering in the market to-day ; the fine weather has caused
the Wheat trade to be very dull, the millers having bought
very sparingly at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter upon
all descriptions. Oats are dull at the rates of last week.
Beans are without variation. Fine Pale Malt is rather
dearer, but there is no improvement in other sorts. Many'
farmers in this neighbourhood have commenced cutting
Wheat, and harvest will be general next week. -The da.
