now turned upon. thews Retributive justice
commends the poisoned chalice back to their own lips.
That Which they imputed,-without ceuse, to the admi-
nistration of their prnlecessors, is dealt back., This
difference is, however, discoverable. Their attacks
were the result of a factious desire to obstruct
the Government in its equitable administration ;
and, thus prevent the beneficial results of the sys-
tem that was practically condemning their own
partial, and therefore inefficient, dispensation. Thus
they fostered the discontents of the great mass
of the people. The manifest intimatiOte too obvious
to be mistaken, made to the favoure i few by the
underlings of the Governstieet; that the many were to
be pushed aside and disregarded whenever the interest.;
or inclination of the former: could be served or gratified.
by sacrificing the latter, produced their natural effects.
On the one hand, the people relapsed into gloomy
dislike ; showed a disposition to confederate ageittst
the Government which treated them with •negleet,
and hended them over to oppression ; while, on
the other, the Government had recourse to the
old system of employing secret agencies , to .dee
tect crime ; and these secret agencic-s, in many in-
stances, have actually prompted the comm7ssion of the
very offences they were employed to discover. It is a
fact, which the records of the criminal courts in
Ireland fully demonstrate, that since the aCcession
of the present Government there have been more
instances of crimes committed by policemen and
other Government agents, in order to fasten
them upon innocent parties, and off ewes committed at the
instigation of those who were employed by the Govern-
ment authorities to detect offenders, than were supplied
during the entire period of the Grey and Melbourne Ad-
. ministrations. The speech of Lord Normanby on Tues-
day evening, on moving for papers connected with the
recent dismissal of Mr. Gray, a police inspector in.
Ireland; affords a striking illustration of the injurious
effects of the spy system, which has been revived in Ire-
land under the present Government. A man named
Osborne had been apprehended by the police ,in the
act of singing, and off.ring for sale, a ballad; which was
regarded as seditious. He was taken before-Mr. Gray,
who ordered him to find bail-to answer the charge at the
assizes. The purpose contemplated hy the inspector wait it
seems, to convict the printer of the ballad. To secure time
ballad-vendor's evidence against him, he was committed
to gaol. A correspondence was subsequently opened
upon the subject by Mr. Gray with the Sycretary's office
at the Castle. The object was to obtain the sanction of
the Government to the man's release; and the reason
assigned for this was, that the Crown would
not thus be deprived of the benefit of his evi-
dence against the printer. The " law adviser" of
the Castle authorities declined to release the
ballad-seller; and intimated that other evidence against
the printer might- be easily obtained. This hint was,
it seems, understood, and acted upon. The very
course taken by the police inspector is an illustra-
tion of the system. A police-constable is provided
with the disguise of a beggar-man; he is supplied with
the manuscript of the song he is directed to purchase ;
and. is dispatched.. te the ballad printer with his in-
structions. The ballad was not to be obtained, the whole
of the copies hiving been disposed of ; but it might be
reprinted—as it was ; and the printer prosecute. f. To
get it printed was, it is said, no part of the policeman's
,n.-tructiens. .liut as Mr.- Gray, acting upon .' r.
Brewster's hint, went rather beyond what Cle
letter of his " opinion and advice" really justified,
so the constable went a little further than the inspec-
tor intended he shouid proceed. This is invariably
the case. When it is understood that a course of- pro-
ceeding, not justitied•by the open and honest zidminis-
' trathat of justice, is that which a Government recog-
nises as its mode of bringing offenders to punishment,
there will be no lack of indiscretion in those who
arteemployed to carry such instructions into effect. Mr.
-Gray gave a liberal interpretation to Mr. Brewster's
intimation ; and the police-constable went about his
secret mission with more zeal than Mr. Gray expected
or designed. The ballad-printer was entrapped into-
the commission of an offence against the law by those
whose duty it was to prevent, rind not to prompt
the perpetration of crime. The affair got wind.. The
Government was compelled to investigate the circum-
stances. The result was, that Mr. Gray was dismissed.
What we most wonder at is, that the Castle authorities
did - not see that, in punishing Mr. Gray with
dismissal, they admitted the-vice of the system which
they act upon. The "other evidence" suggestion of
M-. Brewster was the origin of the whole business. If
Mr. Gray was held guilty for employing the police
man to entrap the printer, he was only criminal
in a secondary degree. Mr. Brewster, and the
vernment which employs him, are the principal
offenders. 'When - Toryism is in the ascendant, there
will never be a lack of crime in Ireland. The agents it
there employs are frequently inciters to, or perpetrators
of, the offences ; and the system on which it acts is the
prolific source of the discontent, disturbances, and alarm
which harass the country.
STANDARD.—The news from the United states
came yesterday upon the newspaper-reading public as a
refreshing shower in a dry season. Nothing indeed
can be so dull as the Political horizon has been for the
last. year or two. Peace, peace. peace, everywhere ; no
prospect of stirring events, or critical situations, in any
part of the world. Lord Palmerston is sadly missed,
and his Lordship's political demise has reason to be as
much lamented by " our order" as the death of Sultan
Amurath was lamented hy,the owls of Bagdal—for
whom, blessed be his memory, he " provided so many
ruined villaces." Let ni not, however, make too much

• •
of the windfitll, seaselnable as it is. The Senate of
the United States inay not, after all, ratify the treaty
far the annexation, and if it should, the affair is

still no such great matter.

Via unita fortior nu

doubt, but it mumt be vis, not weakness, the union
of which constitutes strength. The things capable of an
indefinte augmentation are those which increase by

every the least addition, as time, quantity, nunaber%
With other things it is quite the reverse. The in-
tensity of a colour, white for example, is not improved
but diminished by the addition of a less white shade;
and such is eminently the case with regard to
nations and parties in political warfare. The addi-
tion of a weaker ally is in mdst cases an addition
ip)t of strength, but of weakness. Of such an addition
of weakneisi the annexation of Texas would seem to pre-
sent a remarkable example. The sources of waticness to
the - United States are, too many slaves, too many
State debts, -too great an extent of -.frontier, too
little reputation for honesty in pecuniary transac-
tion, and—may we be pardoned for saying it—a
disposition to retrograde in manners, morals, and
religion. Of this last unhappy characteristic we might
not be disposed to speak, were it' not
„forced upon the
attention of every one by - the late scete of complex
brutality in Congress, where one member "maple a pass
at another " in the ardour of debate, and one of the
sE-rvants of the Assembly was shot in the thigh in
an attempt to pistol another . member on tie floor
of the house. Now these things—slavery, debt, exces-
sive frontier, want of chatacter fur-honesty, want of civili-
Sation and morals—disable any country from ~Lrensi,u or
et en d,fensive war; a country afflicted by them, theugh
in the comp Act grasp of an energetic tyrant, could do
little. How utterly feeble must such a country be,
with only thilt shadow of government which alfects
to exercise the sovereign -authority in the -United
-States l But what is the- portion that_ the States will

_____ •7 &MA.
have .%%ith Texas ? More ;laves, more State debts, more
frontier, and certainly they will not improve their cha-
racter for honesty by a transaction which two of the
leading statesmen of the Commonwealth, Mr. Clay and
. .
Nir. Van Buren, character:6e ns a gross outrago, and a
vidation of public faith. The valhed part of the portion
f Texas however, the slave part. Texas is adopted,
it.) eminently fitted by situation and climate to serve the
puriose (we write the words with digest), of ahreeling
:arm for negroes; and probably the facilities which it
afftrds to the Cuba slave smuggler, to bring his con-
traband freight of hainatit beings into the States, is
not wholly, disregarded among the circumstances
that seem to recommend the proposed acquWtion.
The annexation of Texas, if completed, will neces-
sarily confirm the Vnited States as a slave country for
ever, or, at least, Until' freedom shall vindicate herself

:hysoine violent 'ConvulsiOn. But, independently of all
other censideratiOns, there is to a looSely connected
egnfederitey a danger consequent upon increase of terri-
,torY that does not in the same degree, if at all,
affect countries subject to any other forms of govern-
ment,--the danger, that the parts will -fall asunder
from rivalry or from any other incompatibility. This
;hanger very seriously threatened the Republic from the
i:leof the northern .Pro-vifities during7the last year of
the late war with this country, and again in the case
of the Carolina nullification proceedings'; but it
is
.obviously a :danger which must continue to hi.-
, crease in a ratio . far beyond that of the extension
of territory. Like the"houses which children build
of earls, after they have reached a chitain height, some
one addition, however :light, .is sure to destroy the
ba-
lance of their scarcely connected Materials, and they
all fall to the ;ground. It is for this reason that
nothing short of a. stern despotism can hold
together a' great empire of honiogeneous parts,
hecause in such an empire there must al-
ways grow up sooner or later, rivalship and
opposition of interests. The possibility of England
Maintaining at the same time her vast empire and her
free institutions, arises from this, that her empire is not
lioniogenpus, but so varied that the parts of it cor-
respond one to the other, and all, without emulation or
collision,
,co-operate to the common prosperity. To
returnto Texas—if we were enemies to the United
'States, we should most earnestly desire that the
annexation may be consummated, for the imme-
diate effect of that step would be to render it impos-
sible for the States ever again to disturb other mitions
by a war, and, its not much more remote consequences
must be a dissolution of the Commonwealth ; but-that,
we fear, is inevitable in any event. We a.i) not, ilo,v-
ever, enemies to the United States ; or. the other hand,
we wish them to enjoy all prosperity, and it'oTdeerie it
and therefore we most deeply regret a step that Would
commit them finally and irrevocably, to tlie, practi've of
slavery. •

In

who

-,e) named Cooper, who eame forward with .serious advances
to the lady. Six weeks having elapsed, the defendant slipped
a note into her hand as she stood at-her mother's door, in the
London-road. His purport of renewing the acquaintance
succeeded, and they frequently walked*out together. During
the progress of this con u exion,_MiSS Carey often urged him to
introduce her to his friends. He studiousty declined these
proposals, alleging that circumstances which he o')uld not
control were au insurmountable barrier in his way, but that
a short time would work the only- change he waited for.
One of the rambles we have alluded to took place on the
20th of October, 1812. On that occasion she met the de-
fendant, by appointment, at the corner of Queen-street,
Cheapside. The object of the walk•being a visit to a friend
of his, they wenton to Islington. As she wished his friends
to see her before she coiled- on them, she was at first unwil-
ling to cuter a house at which he knocked. A middle-aged
woman at length adulated them lute a front parlour, in
which there was a bed. The woman left them, and he re-
moved her rising snrprise by a proposal, second by argu-
m,!mts weak and untrue. They were, nevertheless, held forth
in a manner, which, by banishing her doubts, so raised her
confidence, that, in a weak moment, she fell in with his
wishes. They-remained en hour and a half in the room,
during which time the gallant accomplished the ruin of her
virtue, and gave rise to a remorse which destroyed her peace
of mind. 1? ending herself ill in January, 1843, a Mr. Collin..
son, of Deptford, attended, and discovered the cause of her in-
disposition. In April she exhibited sins of pregnancy, and
defendant being consulted about it, was alleged have ap-
peared quite ignorant of Miss Carey and her condition. A
child was born on the. sth of July, she being then under the
care of a Mrs. Elliott, of Mason-street, Kent-road, and had
been so for sixteen weeks, at the charge of 2s. 6d. per week.
Mr. Collinson's bill was 31. 118.2 d.; and Miss Carey could no
longer collect her mother's rents.

Mr. Shaw defended the action in propria persona. He is
a respectable, industrious than, and none of the letters put in
evinced any. intention on his part that was not honourable.
Having cross-exviined the witnesses, he declared himself to
be without-the means of discharging a verdict; admitted the
walk to the house at Islington, but denied having been ac-
cessory to the birth of a child.
It appeared 'rem his employer, that his salary was at pre-
sent itboUt 100/ per annum, and that he exerted talent and
application in the . prosecuting of his duties.
The LORD CHIEF, BARON having summed up, giving de-
fendant all the advantige he- could expect, the Jury gave a
verdict for the plaintiff;—Damages, 201.

SHERIFFS' COURT, May 16.

PENSAH V. WINTER AND OTHERS.

• This was a writ of .inquiry to assess the damages in
an action for-an assault, brought by Mr. James Pensam,
an ale and porter merchant, residing in Portugal street,
Lincoln's'lnn-fields, against Joseph and Thomas Winter,
two sons of Mr. ihemas Winter, better known in the
sporting world as Tom Spring. Judgment was allowed
to go by default. The case excited considerable in-
terest, and the Court was crowded with sporting cha-
racters, and amongst them several sporting noblemen.
Mr. C. Jones and Mr. Charirtek appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas for the defendants.
Mr. C. JONES addressed the jury, and said that the
plaintiff had been in the habit of frequenting the Castle
Tavern, which was kept by the defendants' father. On
the 2d of February the plaintiff was there, when a dis-
pute arose on the subject of the cruelty of Burke to his
priy in a race from London to Bedford. The de-
fendant, Thomas Winter, lighted a candle by the gas
and singed the plaintiff's whiskers, which he had culti-
vated with considerable care.—(Laughter.) The plaintiff
remonstrated with him, when they commenced fighting.
The defendant, Josech Wir.ter, came in and struck him,
knocking out one of his teeth,
Mr. John Bilotti, of 1, King's-road. • conveyancer,
knew the plaintiff and the defendants. Witness was
coming out of the house at the time of the affair. The
defendant, Thomas, poked the candle into the plaintiff's
face. He did not know whether he singed his whiskers.
The defendant, Joseph, came from the bar and struck
the plaintiff on the right side of the face, and knocked
him down. The • elder one took the work out of the
younger one's hands.--z-(Laught,r.) •
• Mr. THOMAS said he had a certificate to show that
the defendant Joseph was labouring under a pulia:mary
disease.

Mr. C. JONES—You mean a pummelling diseaie.
Mr. THOMAS addressed the jury for the defence in a
speech of considerable hurn,ur, and urged the respect-
ability of Mr. Winter, and the manner his house was
conducted, and that the action was moray brought for
extortion. He then called

Benjamin Hickman, head waiter for eleven years at
the Castle—Witness . had known the plaintiff for ten
years; he had visited the house. He had several times
shown him dice-boxes, and a large piece of ivory called a
" barley roller." The plaintiff was frequently " chaffing"
the younger brother, calling him " Little Punch," " Nix
my Dolly," &e.—(Laughter.) The younger defendant
was lying on the mat, and the plaintiff on him, when the
elder one went to his assistance, when a fight ensued.
The plaintiff went to witness and asked if there were any
marks on him ? Witness replied " No." On one occa-
sion the plaintiff laid a wager with Dennis, the porter,
that he would have his whisker 3 cut off for 11. The
money was staked, and witness cut off one—(Laughter)
—and the defendant Joseph, the other, and the plaintiff,
won the money. They were cut off close with a bad pair
of scissors. .•

A number of witnesses were called to prove that the
plaintiff got his living principally by gambling, and
Mr. Winter, sen., deposed that the plaintiff was in the
habit of taking great liberties in the house, and had been
frequently told that his custom was.not wanted, and wit-
ness told him that if Is. would settle the matter he would
not give it.

MI. JONES replied, and
The Learned UNDER•SHERIFF having summed up, the
jury assessed the damages at 20s.—(Received with loud
applause)—which saddles each party with their own costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

The clerk of Messrs. Gregson. and Co., solicitors,
applied to Sir Peter Laurie, to be allowed to give in b it
to answer for the appearance of a person who had been
indicted before the grand jury for having published a
libel, reflecting upon the chrracter of another.
Sir PETER. LAURIE said the observaticMs which had
been made on the subject of grand juries last session; at
the Central Criminal Court, were' calculated to attract
the attention of ,the Government in a very. emphatic
manner to the question of the propriety of the institution.
It was, of course, known to the gemlentan who attended
upon the part of the defeniant, a presentment, at that
time, to the Commissioners of the Central Criminal
Court, designated grand juries as wholly.•useless,
,and
rather calculated to defeat than to serve the 'ends of
justice.
The .solicitor said he was aware of the fact.

Sirl'Erua LAURIE desired to be informedunder
etrounstances the case alluded to appeared before the
grand jury.
. The soticitor.declai'ed that he believed the defendant
was wholly ignorant of the particulars, but it was con-
jectured that a • letter,' written by the defendant, con-
taining matter presunwd to be libellous.. and
.calculatel
to do injury to. the individual reflected upon. had been
laid before the grand jury, and a true bid found, and
that a warrant was about to be issued for the apprehen-
sion of the accused. That was the state of the case, as
had been by some means or other ascertained by the de-
fendant, who was couneeted by ties of blood with the com-
plainant. The prisoner, upon hearing that the Bill of
indictment had- beef, found, was advise.- to keep out of
the way until the necesslry arra i3ge in ents should be
made to .meet the accusation.

Sir P. LAURIE deelared thlt he felt gratitioation•at
the appearance of an. opportunity for exciting 'the obser-
vations of praetiealmen on a subject of such vast import-
ance to the community as the grand jury system. Mr.
/Clark, the Clerk of the Arraigns; than whom no man
was a higher authority, with regard .to the working of
the system; was most decidedly of opinion that no man
was safe who wasubjected to the operation of such a
power. entirely agreed . in the views of that
excellent officer, and considered that there should be no
intermediate authority between tha counnitting.magis-
trate and: the trial of the accused. To say nothing of
the. intolerable inconvenience and expense, the perver-
sion ofjustice Trequently resulting from the temptations
which presented themselves 'to persons liable to be tam-
pered with in the interval between a charge and the pre-
ferring of a bill was most frightful.. To be Aire tie re-
cent order made by the judges that a qualified person
should be present at the sittings of the grand juries to
see that the evidence of the witnesses in support of the-
presentments was in accordance with that in support of
the charges when originally made, had vccomplished
great good, but still there were inherent faults in the
system which partial applications could not remedy.
The solicitor said he was astonished when he was
told that a bill bad been presented and found, upon the
occasion to which the magistrate's attention had been
thus particularly called, as the usual mode adopted in
cases of alleged libel, was by criminal information in the
Court of Queen's Bench, or by action at law. He was
rejoiced that his application had called forth the obser-
vations of Sir Peter .Laurie,.as everything shonld be done
to show the necessity of the prompt interference of Go-
' vernment to remedy the grievance.
Sir P. LA UM -4 believe that no two gentlemen,
however extensive may may; be their practice, are qua-
filled to form a more correct judgment on this important
'question than Mr. Clark, the Clerk of the Arraigns, and
Mr. Goodman, .tbe ' chief .clerk. 47ifi the ,Justice-room. I
should wish to be . graded. by, them in. this matter. I
know, and I havelong. PQ to pi 4in e d of the (14.-11iyeand the
p deAl.de injustice .to.. whir 11. preAqepters and witnesses
have been exposed, and I have been always impressed
with the feeling that the accuser and the accused
shouldbe be. placed face to face, and I trust that her Ma-
jesty.'fi teiaierinent, will make inquiry into the merits of
a questicar whiehis becoming daily more. important to
