IPIARLBOROUGH; STREET.

There appeared in The Sun' yesterday an account of
the eccentric doings of a person who on Saturday last
represented himself as Sir Thomas Sibley, Bart., and a
member of the Reform Club. On that occasion he
charged a gentleman of the name of 'Wyatt with assault-
ing him ; the charge was, however, dismissed by Mr.
Hardwick, the.then sitting. Magistrate. No. sin the list
of charges was one against the same individual, preferred.
by an 'unfortunate girl of the name of Chebley, for vio-
lently assaulting her.
_

InspectOr Jiiriis—Since that it was necessary he
should state to the worthy Magistrate that the de-
fendant in this case was a person who had been
bailed out on the previous night, and who had not
appeared to answer the charge preferred against him,
neither had his bail made their appearance. There
was no doubt that the gentleman was insane.
While the Inspector was making his statement, a gen-
tleman entered the Court, and stated that he was the
person who had bailed the pretended Baronet, whose
real name was Thomas 'Selby ; he stated that the gen-
t ernan, who is possessed of estates in the West Indies to
the amount of nearly 80,0004 per annum, is most de-
cidedly insane, and handed at the same time a certificate,
signed by a surgeon of the name of Andrews, to Mr.
Maltby ; the certificate testified that Mr. Selby was of
unsound mind, and unfit to be at large, and was in con-
sequence now confined in a private asylum.
The Inspector stated that the lunatic had done consi-
derable dapattue to the cell in which he was confined on
the previous night.
Mr. MALTBY, after hearing the evidence, said that it
appeared to him that the pretended Baronet was not in
his right senses, and, therefOre, not accountable for his
actions; there was a medical certificate before him
.(Mr.
Maltby) to that effect, and the case` must'tlierefoe be
discharged.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROX THE MORNING PAPERS O: YESTERDAY.

POST.—Another meeting of the Committee of
Spanish-American bondholders was held in the course
of the afternoon, the object being, we understand, to
consider further of the course it may be expedient to
take in the pending affair with Mexico. The proceed-
ings appear, however, to have been kept strictly pri-
vate, and we are unable to atswer the anxious in-
quiries made of us by the bondholders as to the result.
The act that Messrs. Baring, Brotbe7s, and Co., and
Messrs. Lizirdi and Co. have, between them, more
than sufficient money to discharge one of the overdue
dividends accruing since the arrangement entered
int ) in 1937, although a fact which is in itself agree-
able, fads not to cause a good deal of excitement,
if not of irritation ; for parties who have been
kept many years out of their due, naturally feel
it as a hardship that the pittance intended for
their relief should be withheld, on some ground or
another, which the Committee eo not think pro-
per to ' explain, as if, indeed, they alone had an
interest in the question. 'rile Colombian bondholders
have nor, tur years past, had several thousands of
pounds lying (so far they are concerned) perfectly idle
in the Bank of England to me:t their claims on Nev
Grenada. The Minist-r hero (Senor Mosquera)
chooses to make no distribution of the depost, and
apart from the urgent call there is for the money it is
felt that thin arbitrary mode of retaining funds trans-
mitted for the discharge of laig accrue 1 dividends on
foreign bonds. is one that is growing too rapidly into a
precedent. The system is, t) sty the beat of it, an ex-
ceedingly tantalizing one, and the Spanish American
Committee, in the prese It case, should be careful, for
they can afford to he so, to dtscouatensnce it, by corn-
jog to an immediate decision on the points before them.

TORY JOBBING.

...„
TO THE EDITOR OF THE -817 N.
SIR—I trust you will not permit an appoint-
ment, as unfit as unwise, to pass unnoticed,
which exceeds in. jobbing any thing that has
occurred for a long time, and by which the inter-
ests of India are so much compromised. I allude
to the nomination of the juvenile son (1191's not
more than 24) of Mr. Lyall to the imporiatltst
of Judge-Advocate of India, correspondinglwipis
th
that of Attorney-General in England;', 'This
young man's name is unknown iu our Courts,
but, nevertheless, he has, although,without prac-
tice or experience of
,any sort in law, obtained
this valuable place, by the influence of his Tory
father, the,Chairman of the Court of Directors,
who Tory like, caring nothing for the interests
of the immense population whom he ought to
-serve, only looks to the promotion of his QWII
family interests, and of course was rewarded for
his City contests in Tory battles by all Govern-
ment influence. But it is.too bad that the Court
allowed itself to be influenced when such im-
portant consequences are at stake; and the public
look to you, as a true defender against abuses,
for protection and a proper exposure of this vile
job. Your most obedient servant,
AN OLD EAST INDIAN.
Oriental Club, Jan. 10, 1842.

" We learn," says the Globe, " that his Ma-
jesty, in commuting the sentence against Quenisset, Co-
'lombier, and Just-Brazier, yielded to the earnest en-
treaties of the Duke d'Aumale. This noble-minded
young man particularly interceded in favour of Que-
nisset, and said to the King—' The man is a father—he
is an old soldier. He must not die—pardon him, Sire, as
I have pardoned him I"The Duke of Orleans and the
Duke de Nemours added their solicitations to those of
their brother, and the King, being willing to yield to
prayers which did so much honour to the petitioners,
consented to a result which we alto wished for, and which
we expected from the Royal clemency."
On Thursday last the remains of the late Hugh
Hepburn Scott, Baron Polwarth, were removed from
his mansion to the family vault at Mertoun. The funeral
was attended by his sons and other immediate relatives
of the family, by a numerous assemblage of his tenantry,
and all the members of his household.—Kelso Mail.
EDWARD OXFORD.—This individual, who is
detained an inmate for life in Bothlem Hospital under
her Majesty's warrant as a criminal lunatic, beguiles
the tedium of his confinement by reading, drawing, &c.,
and does not exhibit the slightest symptom of aberration
of intellect. For some months after his confinement
the applications to Lord Shaftesbury and other governors
to see him were very numerous, but the public curiosity
appears to have died away, and few strangers now solicit
permission to see Oxford. When spoken to on the sub-
ject of firing at her Majesty, he invariably declares the
pistol was not loaded with ball. Captain Gold, one of
the maniac intruders into Buckingham Palate, is also
detained in Bethlem under her Majesty's warrant.

IN THE NATTER OF GUNDRY, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.

Our readers will recollect that the matter came before
the Court shortly before the Christmas recess, but was
ordered to stand over in order to enable the party to ob-
tain further evidence. The object of the petitioner was
to obtain a Commission of Lunacy against Mr. Gundry.
Mr. BETRELL, who appeared for the respondent, this
morning stated that from the further affidavits that had
been filed he was quite convinced that it was a proper
case for a Commission. His Learned Friend Mr. Cock-
burn might, therefore, take the order-asked by the prayer
of the petition. "

The Tories arc struggling with might and
main to prevent the return of Lord MORPETII
for the Irish metropolis. They parade the amount
of the sums which they are prepared to spend
in bribery and corruption. The Standard says
that a more fitting candidate than Mr. GRE-,
GORY cannot be found, which, of course,
means that no other Tory is disposed to sperid

in the House of Commons. The Carlton Club
more than 4,0001. sterling for a seat for Dublin
is ready ,to advance 2,0001., and with 2,0001.
more, Mr. GREGORY feels assured that he could
buy a working majority of the old Dublin free-

WOOLWICII.-MONDAY.

AItTILLERY.—The following has just been
received at head-quarters here, with instructions that it
should be read in all departments of the Ordnance ser-
vice,. and the men, both military and civil, be so in-
structed as to thoroughly understand the nature of its
contents, and to pay the strictest attention to the order
promulgated in it:—
"The attention of the Master-General and Board of
Ordnance having been drawn to the tact, as disclosed by
the evidence taken before the Committee appointed to
investigate the circumstances connected with the late
tire in the Tower of London that, if the witness who first
saw a light in the building where the tire broke out had
given an immediate alarm, the disastrous result might
in all probability have been prevented,, or at least greatly
lessened, by the early opportunity which would thus
have been atiOrded of resorting to the proper means of
extinguishing the fire.
"The Master-General and Board avail themselves of
this occasion to express to the several persons resident
within the Tower :;nd other garrisons, and in the Ord-
nance establishments generally in the British dominions,
their confident hope and expectation that in the event of
any unusual appo,arance of tire or light, however trivial
it may seem, within the walls or buildings of those ligar-
rison and establishments, instantaneous notice will be
given by the party witnessing it to the proper authori-
ties, so as to guard as much as possible against any re-
currence of the calamity that has recently takientsit:ulae,cia.

VICE CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.)
Several petitions stood on the paper for hearing this
day, the greater portion of which, on being called over,
were struck out, as the parties did not appear in Court.

IN RE THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
The petitioners in this case were the above Company
and John Gardiner. The application was to have a sum
of 1001., now standing to the general account of the
Company in Court, paid to the Secretary of that, body.
It appeared that the Company required, for the iomrposes
of their Act, a certain piece of land, of which the other
petitioner, Gardiner, was the tenant, for a period of ten
years, commencing from October, 1835. It was agreed
between him and the Company, that for his interest in
the land they should pay him 1001. That sum was paid
into Court by,the Company, and the prayer of the peti-
tion was to have it re-paid to them.

criminal information should not be filed against the de-
fendants for a libel. The article of which the applicant
complained appeared in the Sunday Times, Nov. 21, and
imputed to Mr. Grove the grossest possible misconduct
in his capacity of a Magistrate, and which, if true, would
render him unfit to hold such an office. The publication
having attracted the attention of the authorities, an
application was made to Mr. Grove, who gave a satisfac-.
tory explanation, and intimated his intention of applying
to the Court of Queen's Bench on the subject. The
Learned Counsel then read the article, which charged
Mr. Grove with having directed the removal of a poor
woman near her confinement, which had occasioned the
death of her child, and had nearly cost herself her life.
The affidavit of Mr. Grove and his clerk, which went at'
some length into a detail of the case, denied every one
of the charges made against him.
The Court granted the rule.
THE QUEEN v. THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL.

Mr. DLTNDAS moved for a rule to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue directed to her Majesty's
Postmaster-General, or the proper officer under him,
commanding him to deliver up all letters that would
come into his custody directed to Arthur Strachan and
Co., to the interim factor, a person who filled in Scot-
land an office similar to that of the English official as-
signee. The firm of Strachan and Co. had become
bankrupts, and the interim factor was anxious that cer-
tain expected remittances to the bankrupts might be
placed in his hands for the benefit of the estate. After
referring to the Act of Parliament,
The COURT refused the rule, unless Mr. Duudas could
find some authority upon the subject.

"TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident :—That all
men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that
to secure these rights Governments are instituted
amongst men, deriving their just rights from the consent
of the governed; that whenever any form of Government
beComes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or to abolish it, and toihstitute a new
Government,—laying its foundations on such principles,
and organisinrr its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem
.most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
We hold that the general principles of the Charter
are correct and- indisputable ; that they lie at the foun-
dation of all democratic governments ; that they are Old
as time, immutable as fate, eternal as the hills, and are
at once the pride and birthright of the human race.
The design of those who framed and published the
Charter originally appears to have been, as set forth in
their preamble —" to cause the Radicals of the United
Kingdom to form, if possible, a concentration of their
principles in a practical form, upon which they could be
brought to unite, and to which they might point, as a
Charter they are, determined to obtain ;" in other words,
to induce a union of all Reformers in the empire, for
the purpose of effecting a grand national organic change
in the Parliamentary representation, based upon the
principles of the " Equal Rights of Man." • This design,
however, thus far has signally failed :—The Charter has
been now three years'before the public, and is, we fear,
as far from effecting the object designed, as it was When
it was first launched into political existence. In the
meantime the conduct of some of the Chartist leaders
has been strangely inconsistent. With " equal rights"
upon their lips, they have been practically. intolerant to
all who differed from them ; with a professed sympathy
for the millions, they have perpetuated their distresses;
with an avowed hatred of Toryism, they have coalesced
with and supported 'Tories ; with a claim to superior
patriotism, they have been practically the worst enemies
of civil liberty. this country ever saw ; they have thus
alarmed, abused, and vilified those whose assistance was
indispensable to their success, and without whose con-
currence they had not the slightest shadow of a chance;
they have alienated friends, strengthened' enemies, oh-
' structed practical inea.sures-of relief, and have aided to
restore that party to the Government, from which they
have not the smallest chance of dislodging it ; and yet,
with all these merits and performances " full blown, and
fresh as May," affect now to wonder there can be no
union between them and the middle classes, when they
themselves are the guilty authors of the • separation !
The richest soils are frequently the most overrun with
weeds ; and it is the peculiar property or misfortune of
free institutions, that while they develop the most ele-

LA W INTELLIGENCE
CHANCERY COURT--(THIS DAY).
The Lord Chancellor took causes and lunatic petitions
to-day.

IN THE MATTER OF THE 'WALSALL CHARITIES.
The case came before the Court 'upon petition, pray-
ing the confirmation of the Master's Report. The ap-
plication was made under the 71st sec. of the Municipal
Corporation Act, which provided that references should
be made to the Master to appoint proper persons as
trustees to the Aitharities formerly held by •the different
corporations in tngland. In the present case, under a
reference made to the Master, certain persons were ap-
pointed trustees, but several of them having since died,
and there not being a sufficient number to manage the
charity, the present petition became necessary ; under
the original reference it appeared that all the cha-
rities were not included, and a reference was
made to the Master in that respect. The
Master had made his report, finding that it would
be proper to appoint new trustees to act with
the old ones, and also finding that a charity for the sup-
port of an organist came within the provisions of the
71st section of the Municipal Act, and that report the
petitioner now sought to confirm.

The LORD CRANCELLOR made the order according to
the prayer of the petition.

IN THE MATTER OF THE HEREFORD CHARITIES.
This was a petition praying the appointment of new
trustees in the room of three that were dead, and who
had resided, in France for the last three years. On the
application of Mr. Richards, the petition was ordered to
stand over for a fortnight. •

IN THE MATTER OF THE GLOUCESTER CHARITIES.
This case was ordered to stand over, in consequence of
the neglect of the parties to furnish his Lordship with a
copy of the petition.

DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 23.—The banns of marriage
of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar and
of the Princess Sophia of the Netherlands were pub-
lished to-day for the first time.

Accounts from Surinam of the 9th of July have
been received here, which were extremely favourable.
We hear from Breda that there was lately found
at Oosterwick, at the depth of six feet below the sur-
face of the earth, the remains of one of those antedi-
luvian animals, which it is supposed ought to be
classed with the elephant. These remains, though
petrified, are in a good state of preservation, espe-
cially the grinders, seven in number, which weigh
131bs. It appears certain that one of the canine teeth
must have been five feet in length. These monstrous
remains are being collected with great care, and it is
intended shortly to publish a description of them.

SPAIN.

MADRID, SEPT. 20.—The union of the offices of
Inspector of Infantry and of Provincial Militias,
spoken of here for some time back as likely to take li
place, has at length been effected, and officially an-
nounced in the Gazette of this morning. The united
office of Inspector-General of both branches of the
army is in future to be held by General Linage, who
before exercised that of Provincial Militias only. The
duties are most important. The great satisfaction
given by General Linage in his former capacity, is a
sufficient security of his being equally efficient in his
new situation. He is an excellent man of business.
The petitions and claims of the humblest soldier in
the army are immediately attended to and dispatched
by him.
The inhabitants of the island of Cuba would seem
to have gained little by the removal of Mr. Turnbull
from the Consulship of that place. The Corres-
sponsal of this evening describes him, on the faith of
a correspondent, in the following terms Every
day the situation of the island of Cuba would appear
to be growing worse. The celebrated ex-Consul
Turnbull has installed himself in the Ponton in the
harbour; and from thence, as from a sanctuary, con-
tinues his feats, writing to the authorities, and alarm-
ing the pacific inhabitants with new threats and fears."
The Corresponsal then goes on to describe English-
men and English philanthropy. The good-natured
and correct touches of the pencil of the Corresponsal
are worth thG copying. " Often," it says, " have we
called the attention of the Government towards that
precious gem (the Island of Cuba) so covetted by
foreigners, but more particularly by those avaricious
islanders (the English), who have had their eyes
fixed upon it for upwards of half a century, and who
have been trying every means to gain a footing there.
That cursed slave-treaty was the first means they
tried for this purpose, under pretext of excessive phi-
lanthropy. The philanthropy of the English, indeed!
—those egotists par excellence—the notion of self-
interest and avarice, which sacrifices everything to its
own ends !" This, you will recollect, is written in
a journal particularly addicted to sermonising upon
public morals, and high church politics. Its illustra-
tions of the dogma of Christian freedom, and of the
Commandment about slander are excellent.

WEDNESDAY'S RACES.

For the D. M. Handicap this afternoon only three
horses were named, Saros, Rosalind, and the Manta colt.
and the first two having been scratched within the time
prescribed by the conditions, the race was void. The
T. Y. C. Handicap did not fill, and Johnny having paid
forfeit to Ralph. a list that at one time looked like four
races at least, was reduced to a match, and a D. L plate,
with three entrances. The members seem to be reserv-
ing themselves and their horses for the Second October
and Houghton Meetings, for which great things are
promised. Of the two events decided this afternoon the
following are the particulars :

THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT AT HAW -
THORNDEN.—The Royal pair had expected that their
visit to this romantic spot was to have been entirely
private. But the mere possibility that the Queen and
_Prince Albert might drive to this lovely place had
brought together a great concourse of people of all
classes in the neighbourhood. On the arrival of
her Majesty and his Royal Highness, they
seemed astonished at the number of persons who
were assembled ; and when the Queen looked down
from the elevated ground near the old family man-
sion-house, on the mass of people below, she became
evidently very anxious ; and the cause of this
anxiety was explained when, after her conversing
with the Prince and the Duchess of Buccleuch, Col.
Bouverie intimated that the Queen could not visit
the caves, in consequence of probable risk of injury
to herself and others, if the people followed down the
descent. The Rev. M. C. Mackenzie, the clergyman
of the parish in which Hawthornden is situated, whose
advice was asked by Prince Albert,: and to whom the
Queen addressed a few words, said that the people
would form themselves on each side of the path,
which leads through the garden to the caves, and
remain firm as a wall. On this assurance, the Royal
party, consisting of the Queen, Prince Albert, the
Duchess of Buccleuch, and Colonel Bouverie, pro-
ceeded to the caves between the two lines of
people, who, without a single exception, stood steady
in their places. The Royal party when they left were
greeted with a cheer that made the woods re-echo
the feeling of joyfulness that animated every one who
had the good fortune to be a witness of the agreeable
visit of the Queen and Prince Albert to classic Haw-
thornden.

COD FISHERY.—The cod fishing is far short of an
average one, as well as the ling, tusk, and saithe ;
and, worse than this, the demand is very limited, as
well as the price. What is on hand is of most supe-
rior quality. Holders of those fish, are, however, in
expectation of higher prices soon.—John o' Groat
Journal.

INCOME TAX.—In Kendal the number of blank
forms is so limited that the Commissioners cannot
supply the town. One part of the population have
had their billets doux for three weeks, while another
part have not yet received those soft expressions of
the Premier's regard. And what is more amusing,
the number of applications for forms declaring that
their income is below 1501. is so great, that any supply
of papers hitherto received is wholly inadequate to the
demand. We have heard several parties state that,
with their best desires to fill up the returns .:on-
sistently, they really cannot understand them.—Kendal
Mercury.
