NAVAL A.IVID IVIXLXTAILY.

During the hurricane of Friday and Saturday last, a boat be.
longing to the ship Swift was swamped in the Clyde, and three,
out of six the crew, drowned. Another boat also from the
brig Caroni, was struck on a rock, and four of its party perished.

YAW AND POLICE. - -
Two men, named Tandy and Smith, were brought to Union
Hall, charged with breaking into the premises of Alderman Hum.
phery, near Hibernia-wharf, on Tuesday night. The Alderman
said for the last four years the premises had been frequently robbed,
and lie had in eonsequence placed a private watchman on them,
and the very first night he was there the prisoners were arrested.
One of them had jumped into the river and would have been
drowned but for the police following him in a wherry and dragging
him out.—Remanded.
Daniel O'Connell, who stated that he was on his way to Ireland,
was brought to the same Court, charged with creating a distur-
bance at a public-house in Tooley-street. Between one and two
in the morning, on being refused admission, he swore like a trooper,
knocked and kicked furiously, and when taken into custody,
threatened the policeman with vengeance if he only had him in
Ireland. The Magistrate forgave Dan, and told him to be off for
Ireland at once.

At Clerk enwell Charles James Fox Edwards, a medical student
at University College, was charged with the fashionable amusement,
called stealing knockers. A policeman saw him wrench one off the
door, No. 17, Woburn.buildings, and on searching him found two
in his pocket. Mr. Greenwood committed him to the House of
Correction, without hard labour, for one week.
In the Insolvent Court on Wednesday, Mr. James Wallack,
the actor, applied to be discharged on bail. His debts, he stated in
and he attributed his insolvency

LONDON
FRIDAY, YEIIIIITARY 18, 1842.

• The regular class of red-tape politicians seem in-
capable of improvement. If a chemist makes an experi-
ment, and the result does not answer his expectation, he
either gives up the object he was pursuing as unattainable,
• - or he tries to accomplish it by smile new combinations.
-Only that wretched class of experimenins of the PARA-
' CELSUS tribe, a mixture of fools and knaves, who wasted
their lives and fortunes, and the fortunes of others, in
hunting after the Philosopher's Stone, persevered almost
for ages, in spite of baffled hopes and defeated contri-
vances, in their vain pursuit, and they have now been for
ages the butt of universal ridicule. We are about to
show, if we can, that the red-tapist class of politicians,
with Sir ROBERT PEEL as their chief and mentor, re-.
s;tu.b le much more the hunters after the Philosopher's
Stone than careful and rational investigators, like
PRIESTLY, CAVENDISH, and DAVY.
Ever since 1815, the present generation of red-tapists--;
f.,r the Earl of RIPON and Sir ROBERT PEEL were both
concerned in passing the Corn-law of that period—have
been intent on giving
what they call protection to agri-
c.iltttre, anti .011 promoting the prosperity of the country,
• by keeping' the price of provisions and all other things
- • higher here than in other countries. Successively, as in
• )822, 1827, 1828, when they were obliged to alter their
measures, an At 1842, they
d now, have confessed that
• then,, experiments failed ; yet, with undaunted
bpertina-
city,v,e
hthou,gli they ackowled that they are acting
.all sound against' general principles—for Sir ROBERT
.
PEEL avowed that his law was to be a guarantee against
the effect of ituprovement in producing cheap food
abroad—that they have no data to go on as to what
will be either' .here or abroad the cost of produc-
_lion, and that '• they are acting against the dic-
tates of justice, b:ley are about to repeat their ex-
periment in nearly th e same manner, and hope, by a lit-
tle re-adjustment of tl,.e elements of a sliding scale, to
dlscover that long-soUg; bt Philosopher's Stone, the na
tiunal welfare. If they .only' wasted. their own faculties

BELGIUM.

BR II SSELS, FEB. 16.—The Senate -met yesterday. The
Secretary bad a letter from the Archbishop of Alalines, and
the Bishops of Liege, Bruges, Tournay, ISamur, and Ghent,
in which they declare that they withdraw their petition, the
object of which was to obtain a law by which the Roman
Catholic University of London should be constituted Fersohne
virile. The permanent deputation of Brabant has just ad.
dressed the following circular to the Magistrate of the Com-
munes, and to the charitable institutions of the province:—
" The successive increase in the price of provision, and of
articles of every description, has rendered it necessary to in-
crease the cost of a day's subsistence in the hospital of Brus-
sels, of indigent persons not belonging to the city, which
has remained since 1818, at eighty centimes per day.
We, therefore, inform you that it has been agreed, by the
direction of the hospitals of Brussels, by the Commercial
Council of the city, and by us, that from the
.Ist of January,
1842, the cost of a day's subsistence of the indigent in the
hospitals of St. Peter and St. John shall be fixed at one franc,
twenty-five centimes.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 1;.

IN RE JOHN HUGHES ALLAN.
The insolvent in this case described himself as a professor of
music, and formerly a literary teacher.
His discharge was opposed by Mr. Wilkinson, on the grounds
of having fraudulently, and by false respresentations, obtained
a quantity of goods from him to the amount of 1571.
It appeared from the ev;dence of the opposing creditor that
the insolvent took a house in the Albany-road, and obtained a
quantity of goods from various tradesmen, for the purpose of
furnishing it, representing at the same time that he
had an annual engagement at one of the patent
theatres. From Mr. Wilkinson he got a cabriolet, and also
induced him to discounts bill of exchange for 731. drawn:iby
a person named Watson, and accepted by the insolvent, which
was eventually dishonoured. Upon making inquiries at the
house in the Albany-road, on the clay upon which the bill was
due, it was ascertained that he had left it some weeks pre-
viously, and the opposing creditor having received information
that he was at Bury St. Edmund's, caused him to be arrested
there.

The Learned ComtismNEEL said no doubt could be enter-
tained, for a moment, but the insolvent had got possession
of the gocds by fraudulent means. It appeared to him (the
Learned Commissioner) that he had succeded in victimising
several tradesrhen to a large amount, and he fhould, therefore,
order him to be remanded for six calendar months from the
date of his vesting order.

PLACARD.
Turner and Leech, who were remanded on Tues-
day last, were again brought up this day at the New
Bailey, Manchester, before Mr. J. F. Foster and Mr.
D. Maude, in order to their being committed.
The charge against the prisoners was for a general
conspiracy to disturb the public peace.
The Court committed them to the Assizes for trial,
but would admit them to bail in 4001. and two sure-
ties of 2001. each, to give 48 hours' notice of bail.

with using violent language and taking part in break-

-.Ea p....-

Now that the gratifying intelligence has gone forth
to the world that the political differences between
England and the United States are on the eve of a
satisfactory and final adjustment, the attention of com-
mercial men begins to be directed to the condition of
businessrelations with our Transatlanticbrethren. The
apparent indifference with which a number of the States
of the Union advocate a scheme of State bankruptcy, has,
for some years past exercised a most pernicious effect
upon the credit, not only of the States concerned, but
of the Federal Government. Were the physical re-
sources of these States wholly exhausted—were they
densely crowded with a pauper population, over-bur-
dened with taxes to defray the interest of debts con-
tracted to carry on ruinous wars—had they no
means of establishing a credit in the mo-
ney-markets of the world, their repudiation of
the payment of debts fairly contracted by them
might excite regret, but could incur no very severe
censure. But when nothing is heard in Europe
louder than the boasting of these States of their in-
exhaustible mines of wealth—of their waste lands to
he appropriated—their timber to he sold—their mines
to be worked—and their rich soils to be cultivated,
the moral sense is shocked by the bare-faced im-
morality implied in the repudiation policy, or rather
proposed bankruptcy, of these States. Nor is the
folly of such a scheme less monstrous than its dis-
honesty. America is yet but a new country. Her
debts altogether are but mere trifles when contrasted
with her immense means of defraying them. Would
she, then, to get rid of them, affix upon her forehead
in burning characters the brand of a swindler?
Would she have her sons pointed out in Europe as
the inhabitants of States too dishonest to pay their
just debts ? The Americans are a sensitive people,
rest ssoured h
and they may t
they expose themselves to
more at
ridicule
nulneo pointE Europe
e
than that of their being- wanting in the discharge of
their pecuniary obligations.
No blame is at present attached to the members of
the Federal Government for errors which it is felt
1 hpy have no power to correct. But the progress of
:.frairs for the last few years, has convinced the most

TMCJITAXCAL.

Rubini's rumoured retirement is the chief talk in
the fashionable circles. He is yet young, as he was
only born on the 7th of April, 1795. This king of
tenors made his debut at Rome in the Gazza Ladra,
in 1819, and he appeared at Paris in 1825, where his
sweetness and energy in a duet in the Cenerentola,
procured him an invariable encore. He afterwards
accompanied Lablache and Donzelli to Palermo.
Rubini was married to Mdlle. Chomel at Naples, in
1819.

Joseph Leven, John Riley, and James Barton, were
also committed for a riot and attack on the Manches-

The President of the Trades Delegates'..(Chartist)
Conference, Alexander Hutchinson, 'Who was fi-
nally examined on Friday, at the New Bailey,
on a charge of having presided at an illegal meet-
ing, is a mechanic in the employ of Messrs.
harp and, Roberts. He is an intelligent man, and
was once editor of a Magazine called the Trades'
Journal, in which he exposed the mischievousness and
inutility of strikes of workmen, with the view to keep
up wageF. It was stated by Hutchinson's attorney,
before the Court on Tuesday, that his client had indi-
vidually opposed the resolution come to by the dele-
gates, upon which the present proceedings against him
are founded ; but that, as he did not believe there
was any thing illegal in it, he considered it his duty,
as chairman o the meeting, to sign it and procure its
publication. These circumstances, added to Hutchin-
son's previous good character and steady conduct,
Vouched for by his late employers, Sharp and Ro-
berts, and Mr. Fairbairn, have excited much interest
in his case. Hutchinson is of border extraction and
education. •

FRIDAY MORNING, QUARTER PAST ELEVEN.—So
satisfactory was the state of things in this district that
the daily reports which have been made to the Home-
(Alice were last evening not despatched, there being
nothing of importance to communicate.
The fustian cutters and power-loom weavers, are
however, still out, and manifest no disposition to re-
turn to their work unless the masters accede. to their
demand for higher wages.
This morning placards are being posted on the
walls, announcing a meeting of Chartists for to-mor-
row night (Saturday), at which a lecture will be de-
livered on the state of affairs, the causes of the riots,
and their connexion with the Anti-Corn-law League.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.--One of the
mast crowded meetings of the members of the A nti-
Corn-law League took place last evening, at the rooms
in Newalrs-buildings, Manchester, that has been held
for some time. After the routine business of the
evening, the secretary reported the registering of 421
new members in Manchester, and 600 in Liverpool, in
addition to the 1,800 names received a week since,
and Mr. Cobden occupied the time by delivering a
long and eloquent speech.

The turn-out still continues in this town, and there
is no appearance of matters being accommodated.
This morning a meeting was held on the Green Area,
as on several former occasions, when a few hundreds
assembled. They were •addressed by some stranger,
the burden of whose speech was, " don't go in." All is,
however, quiet.

OLDHAM, Friday Morning.
All is quiet in this town, but work is not generally
resumed. The authorities are, however, still ready,
in case any further outbreak should take place.

tXTERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.

During the eclipse of the sun, on the Bth of last
month, the effects upon animals was remarkable.
One of the friends of M. Arago had placed five
healthy linnets in a cage. During the sudden dark-
ness of the eclipse three of the five died. The oxen
formed into a circle with their horns thrust forward,
as if preparing for the attack of an enemy. At Mont-
pellier, bats and owls left their retreats, and sheep laid
down as for the night, and the horses in the fields
were in a state of terror. In addition to these facts,
it was stated to M. Arago, in the Academy, on the
authority of M. Fraisse, a distinguished naturalist,
that a swarm of ants in full march stopped short at the
moment:of occultation.

LAW AND POLICE._

The bankruptcy case of Edmund Francis Green,
formerly consignee to several large houses in the West
India trade, was brought again before Mr. Commis.
sioner Fonblanque on Saturday, and the next hearing
adjourned to the 27th of Sept.
At the Westminster Sessions on Saturday John Rule,
Captain of the Witch steamer, belonging to a Wool-
wich Company, and Robert Ross, Captain of a Black-
wall steam-tug, were indicted for throwing into the
river a waterman named Woods. The former was
acquitted, but a penalty of 201. was inflicted on the
defendant Ross.

The two men charged with conspiring to extort
money from Mr. Churchill, under allegations of a
shameful character, were on Saturday brought up again
at Marlborough-street, in order to have the deposi-
tions authenticated, and the additional evidence in-
cluded. The various witnesses were bound over, and
the prisoners removed.
;kir. George Birkitt, the landlord of a public-house
in Shadwell, appeared at the Thames-street police-
office, on Saturday, to complain of the conduct of a
gang of coal-w hippers, who had joined the general
strike of that body on Wednesday. Their demand

DUTCH NAIL.

HAMBITRGH, AUG. 2.—lt is known that 8,000,000 of
the new loan were taken by Mr. Solomon Heine, banker,
of this city, and that 3,000,000 werejutended for the Ex-
change. The inscriptions for the 3,000,000 were so
numerous, that on the first day more than the sum re-
quired was inscribed : according to the conditions pre-
viously published, the list was closed yesterday, when-lit
appeared that the total amount inscribed was 25,600,000
marks ham). Such an unexpected result makes a great
sensation : it was thought there might be inscriptions
for more than 3,000,000, but eight or nine times as much
could not be foreseen in the present state of affairs.
Ten per cent. of the sum inscribed is to be had imme-
diately.

-POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
CLERKEiV WELL.
Mr. William Edwards, proprietor of a cheesemongery
establishment, tiouthampton-street, Pentonville, and Mr.
Jah►t Ilillin, licensed vintner, Kentish. Town, were
charged with violating the person of Mary Anne Baker,
Broad-court, Turnhain-street, Clerken%vell.
The circumstances of this ease are of a singular nature.
The prosecutrix is an interesting looking girl of nine-
teen, Of hitherto irreproachable character. It appears
that she has been in the habit of frequenting the pri-
soner's shop for the last three months.. An intimacy
took phut., and she alleged that he promised her
marriage, and told her father and friends co. On
Monday evening last she visited the prisoner
Edwards at his house, and she did not return
to her home during the night, but next morn-
ing found herself in the prisoner's bedroom, on
the bed, partly undressed. On Tuesday evening the
prosecutrix appeared before Mr. Combe, tut in such a
State of excitement that she Was unable to say more than
unconnected exclamations. The case was postponed
until to-day, but it appears the poor creature has be-
come quite delirious, and her friends have been obliged
to put a strait-waistcoat on her, and keep constant watch
over her. Her friends allege that she was made in-
sensible by drugs, and that then Edwards. and Anvil,
who were in the same room with her during the night,
committed the offences complained of: The evidence of
Dr. Semple leaves no doubt as to the commission of
the offence.

Mr. Wakeling attended professionally for the prisoners.
Dr; Gipson deposed, in answer to Mr. Cotobe's inter-
rogatories, that te girl was in a state of great mental ex-
citement ; that she was at present utterly ineapaLle of
giving testimony ; that he has reason to believe that•ex•
citement has been caused within the last two days. The
taking of certain dings might have caused it ; the 'ex-
citement might have been caused from the forcible viola-
tion of her person.
James Baker, father of the prosecutrix, who seemed
in great affliction, deposed that his (laughter informed
him that the prisoner Edwards promised to marry tier
as soon as his business became more prosperous. lie
made a positive promise of marriage to h€r three mouths
ago.
_ .

-Mr. COMM observed that the charge was one of a
very serious nature. lie should send them to prison,
unless they were able to find two securities in 50/ each
to appear here on Wednesday next, and their own in tool.
in the course of the afternoon bail was tendered and
accepted.
