PUBLIC OPINION.
The I>rrrald gives the following sketch of the late
Marquis( Wellesley's Indian policy :—" The states-
manship te the Mar- -* Wellesley was characterised
by genius;k •of conduct, by patriotism, by '
justice, by wisdom, and by success. He saved
British India by his prudent sagacity and resolute
defensive operations from foreign aggression and in-
ternal hostility secretly combined; he greatly and
justly extended the limits of our eastern empire, and
by that extension improved the condition of the mil-
lions whom his successful policy brought under the
doinini:en of his grateful Sovereign ;
.in laying down
the Vice-Royalty of India he claimed—in vain—at
the. hands of his mercantile employers for his fellow-
e.itizens at home full and complete participation in
Mel-rade and commerce of that mighty empire which
his energy and wisdom had preserved and enlarged,
and he returned home to have his services unappre-
ciated, his objects mis -stated, his motives maligned,
and his administration slandered by envy amongst
seeming friends, by malice amongst disappointed in-
triguers, and by faction amongst blindly infuriated
politicians ; he was, however, amply rewarded by the
applause and approbation of that great Minister.... b.
Pitt—who had discovered his youthful merits, and
given might, but worthy employment to his preco-
cious maturity of judgment. The mantle of Pitt de-
scended on the Marquis Wellesley."
The Chronicle has the following observations :
" A courageous following out of the policy chalked
out by the Whig Ministry, and partly followed out
by the present Administration, would relieve us from
accumulating embarrassments and impending dangers,
restate prosperity to the manufacturing districts,
without inflicting disaster on the agricultural. If any
of our readers still doubt this latter assertion, let them
refer back to Mr. Greg's letter detailing his visit to
the Lothians. The wealthy manufacturer is also a
farmer ; and he has shown, in a very striking and
satisfactory way, the beneficial influence which would
result to agriculture from a sound policy with respect
to the Corn-laws. Sure we are, that neither our
agriculture nor our manufactures can stand the pre-
sent system. Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law is not—
cannot be—a permanent measure. The question of
wages, has been raised--that of rent is following; and
Peace requires that both questions should be equitably
and speedily settled."
The Times thus alludes to the Ashburton dinner
at New York :—" In our yesterday's paper appeared
an account of the dinner given by the
principal mer-
chants and others of New York to Lord Ashburton,
Whatever may be the feelings with which different
parties in England may regard some clauses of the
treaty now concluded, it is at any rate with no small
satisfaction that they must observe the warmth with
which all parties in the United States join in hailing
the establishment--we may very nearly say the re.:
establishment—of friendly relations between these
two great countries. Perhaps in nothing do we see
the effects of this Noble Lord's mission so fully as in
the turn which it seems to have given to popular feel-
ing. A lover of peace, reading the speeches which
that meeting produced, can hardly fail to congratulate
himself upon the change which has taken place since
the mutabile vulgus of New York were clamouring
for the conviction of M'Leod, and the Government
scarcely bold enough to affront public opinion by dis-
countenancing the sympathizers of Buffalo."
The Post says :—" We are enabled to state that by
the treaty on the eve of conclusion for the regulation
of the Stade toll, the King of Hanover will lose at
least one-fourth of his toll revenue, and that his Ma-
jesty voluntarily submits to this sacrifice from a ge-
nerous desire to promote the interests and convenience
ve;
_ofor coinmerce in general, and of British commerce
r.P. p especially. The intended treaty will simplify'
iti'el,semode of levying the toll by the removal of all un-
ssary and troublesome forms. The duty is hence-
forth to be imposed u
will, therefore, fall upon pon the cargoes exclusively, and
the consumers, while it w
be too insignificant to deter them from the purchase
of a single yard or pound of British manufacture that
.they would have bought had Lord Palmerston's un-
just and insolent proposal been carried into effect. At
the same time, the shipping interest of Great Britain
will be highly benefited by being freed from all fees,
charges, an impediments whatever."

LAW INTELLIGENCE

INSOLVENT COURT—(THIS DAY.)
IN RE ABRAHAM MAY.
The insolvent in this case had carried on business
at Colchester as an ironmonger. It appeared that his
brother had caused execution to be issued against all
his goods and stock-in-trade. After being subjected
to a long and searching examination, this person
stated that he had been insolvent himself some time
back in consequence of his advances to his brother,
and that the property when seld did not realise above j
one half its value.

The Learned CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said it was for-
tunate for the insolvent that none of the creditors
came forward in opposition ; for if such were the case
a remand would be certainly inflicted. As it was the
Court would order him to be discharged.

IN RE I. L. DAVEY.
The insolvent held a situation in the Phoenix Fire
Assurance office at Canterbury, and after some in •
vestietion, the case was ordered to stand adjourned
till Iriday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Potter and Elizabeth Goodwright were
placed at the bar, having been remanded, charged
with robbing their father, Thomas Potter, a Green-
wich pensioner.
Mr. Thomas Russell, of hinting-house-square, the
guardian of the parish, stepped forward, and said that
Potter, the father, had been collector to the parish,
and some months ago he was deficient in his accounts
to a considerable amount. He then, as an excuse,
said that his son, the prisoner at the bar, had forged
some receipts and received the money. He then
brought him before the Magistrate, but the boy was
discharged, as there was no proof against him. He
believed that there was not the slightest foundation in
fact for this charge, but that it was merely instituted
to get rid of the children.
The boy in his defence said, that lie knew nothing
of the robbery. There were people in the house the
night before, extremely bad characters, and they left
the day following.
Mr. Alderman Kelly, who came in at the, moment
said he believed everything Mr. Russell had stated.
He (Mr. Kelly) had known the family too, and he
knew the mother to be a drunken woman.
The boy said, his mother-in-law would frequently
make him sleep on the stairs. His father and mother
had ruined his character, and he could get no work.
Mr. Russell said, he would endeavour to get him
into the Peckham Asylum.—Prisoners discharged.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young lad, named William S/nith, an errand-
boy in the employ of Mr. Walter James Scott;
aurist, of 369, Strand, was charged with 'feloniously
embezzling 261. 19s. 6d., the property of his master.
Mr. Payne, foreman in the employ of Mr. Scott,
stated, that on the 16th instant, he entrusted the
prisoner with the above sum to take to the London
and Westminster Bank, with which he absconded,
and was only apprehended yesterday at his father's
house. He was remanded for a week, as evidence
will then be brought forward which is expected to
implicate the father.
Three stout-looking men, named Jackson, Camp..
bell, and Cameron, were placed at the bar charged
with begging.
An officer of the Mendicity Society proved the case.
Mr. TWYFORD asked the prisoners for their histories.
Jackson said that he was by trade a lathe and vice
maker. He was thrown out of work about 21 weeks
ago, and had since travelled to Cornwall, Southamp-
ton, and other places, in search of employment, but in
vain. He met the other prisoners at a lodging-house
in London, and went out begging with them this
morning for the first time. He kneVir nothingimore
about them.

Campbell said that he was a cotton weaver, and a
native of Port Glasgow. Being unsuccessful in his
search after employment elsewhere, he came to Lon-
don, where he arrived on Friday last.
Cameron said that he was a native of Edinburgh,
and had been employed as a weaver at Kirkintilloch ;
he had no work, and had travelled up to London. He
had a wife, whom he had left at Barnet.
Mr. TWYFORD said he was heartily sorry for their
misfortunes, and he must say to their credit that it
was not often that Scotchmen were found begging.
He thought the best thing he could do for them would
be to send them to prison, when they would have an
opportunity of being sent home. He should, there-
fore, commit them each for seven days, and he advised
them to apply to the VisitingNagistrates to pass them
home.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Bishop, a young man about twenty years of
age, of respectable connexions, was praced..-nt the.bar,
charged with embezzling various sums of money
received by him for and on the account of his master
and employer, Mr. John Joseph Bellamy, of No. 3,
Lumber-court, Newport-market, butcher.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been
in his service for several months past, and the greatest
reliance being placed in his integrity he was allowed
to receive the amount of bills from customers. Yes-
terday he (the prosecutor) discovered:by a mere acci-
dent that several bills which had been paid to the pri-
soner had not been accounted for by him, as was his
duty to do of all monies, on the same day he received
them. The amount.- of the prisoners defalcation
which he, (the prosecutor) had already been able to
discover, was between 15/. and 16/., and might be to
a more serious extent.
The prosecutor produced several bills which the
prisoner had fabricated himself for sums that might
suit his purpose, from time to time, to prevent detec-
tion. He was remanded until this day week, in order
to give time for the necessary witnesses to attend.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
George Edwards, a respectably-dressed young man,
described as a carpenter out of work, was charged
with a street robbery.
Henry Elliot, a groom, was standing outside the
Union public-house, in Oxford- street, about nine
o'clock yesterday evening, when he saw two ladies
passing, and the prisoner and another young man im-
mediately behind them. The prisoner held up one
of the ladies' dresses with his left, while his right
hand was inserted into her pocket. Ile (witness)
called to the ladies that they were
.robbed,
and caught the prisoner, who, however, struck him a
violent blow, and escaped. lie also knocked down
an omnibus driver, who tried to stop him, but was
ultimately caught at the corner of Orchard-street by
a policeman.

Inspector Black and another officer stated, that de-
fendant was to their knowledge one of the swell mob.
Mr. RAWLINSON committed him for three months.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DA Y.)
Robert Simpson, alias Butcher, was charged as
follows :—The prisoner is one of a gang who have
undergone a long imprisonment for knocking down
unprotected females in the streets at night, and rob-
bing them: Last night he was in company with two
disorderly females in Broad-street, Bloomsbury. The
trio occupied themselves in hustling against respect-
able persons as they passed. A constable took
the worst of the females into custody, when the pri-
soner rushed on him and kicked him violently in the
back of the head; he seized the staff of the constable
and threw it away. The policeman seemed to have
sustained very serious injury, both his hands were cut
and bruised, and he was hardly able to hold up his
head from a wound in his neck.--The prisoner was
sentenced to a month's imprisonment and hard labour.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
A pawnbroker in Charlotte-street complained that
a common informer of the name of ]3urch called at
his house, and intimating his calling, said that he came
there to say that applicant might commit offences
under the Pawnbrokers' Act without the risk of any
informations being laid against him, if he paid him a
sovereign a year for the Indulgence. In reply to the
proposition, applicant said that he would enter into no
such engagement, whereupon the informer intimated
that he would look sharply after him, and pull Mill
up when he had a chance. Applicant, therefore,
wanted to know if he could not punish the person
against whom he applied.
Mr. TRAILL referred to the sec. 33, of the 2d and 3d
of Victoria, and said that unless the informer received
a sum of money for co:npounding, delaying, or with-
drawing any information, he was not liable to any
penalty.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
(THIS PAY.)
Mr. M'Christie, the Revising Barrister, took his
seat in Court this morning at ten o'clock.
The lists of the Liverymen were proceeded with.
In the list of the Glovers' Company an objection
was taken to the name of Thomas Jenkins, of Broad-
way, Rotherhithe, who had been for the last three
years in America, on Government service. A judg-
ment had been delivered by the Revising Barrister,
which we gave in our Paper of yesterday, upon a
case somewhat similar. To meet that judgment it
was stated that the claimant was not at liberty to re-
turn to this country, inasmuch as he was under en-,
gageraents to the Government.
