from this time forward, will be rated higher than they
really are. The opposition of 147 independent Mem-
bers to the decision of last night, takes not a little
from the value of the triumph ; but, were it a unanimous
vote, it would still be unpopular. The public must not
be told the object of the motion is only to throw ob-
loquy upon the Government, or to gratify an idle cu-
riosity. The period when the salary of every little
clerk in office is anxiously enquired into for the purpose
of reduction, is not the time when the public are to be
told the emoluments of the great Leviathans of office
are too sacred to be revealed to vulgar eyes. On the
contrary, did the Minister value popularity, and seek to
inspire public confidence in his government, he should
court inquiry, he should satisfy the public there was
nothing he was not ready to expose, because there was
nothing which, when exposed, he was not able to justify
and defend ; nothing that could tend to his discredit or
reproach ; nothing of which the country has a right to
complain.

We have frequently called the attention of Ministers'
and the public to the affairs of Greece. We now insert,
a letter, just received from our friend and correspondent
at Napoli di Romania, and who has resided constantly
at Egina, or in the Morea, during the last three years.
These statements present an ample confirmation of all we
have said on the important points to which the writer
alludes :

DEMOLITION OF HURLEY PRIORY.

The ancient mansion of Lady Place, near Henley on
Thames, is about to be demolished ; but the recollection
of past events, associated with our national history, will
survive its ruin. The situation is singularly beautiful and
rural, close to the bank of the Thames, and hence it was

fixed upon by the world-denouncing ascetics of the mo-
nastic period, as an appropriate place for retirement. The
hall of Lady Place, a curious specimen of the domestic
architecture of the 17th century, occupies the site of the
conventual church, and some of the vaults, which have a
crypt-like appearance, remain in their original state.—
Lady Place was the seat of the Lovelace family, and in
the reign of Charles 11. and his bigoted successor, was the
rendezvous of many of the nobility, who then began to
think that before public affairs got better they must
become worse. This fact will, perhaps, be better ex-
plained by the following inscription on a black tablet in
one of the vaulted recesses :

" Dust and ashes—Mortality and vicissitudes.
" Be it remembered to all that the monastery of Lady Place, of
which this vault was the lotuial cavern, was founded at the time of
the great Norman Revolution, by which the whole state of England
was theDged.
" Hi motue animerum' atque hoc certamina tanta, pulveris
nisei jactu compress& quiescunt."
Be it also remembered that in this place, GOO years afterwards,
the revolution of 1188 was begun. This house Ina then inthe
scales of the family of Lord Lovelace. by whom private meetings
of the nobility were assembled in this vault; and, it is said, that
several consultations for calling the Prince of Orange were held in
this recess, on which account this vault was visited by that powerful
Prince after he had ascended the throne. Be it also remembered,
that on the 20th of May, 1700, this vault was visited by General
Paoli, Commando of the Corsicans in the revolution of that island."
Adjoining this, upon another tablet, is the annexed
memorial :
- - - - - -

" Be it remanbaed that this place was visited by their Majes-
14tiesth Xing GeorgNovember,e the Third and Queen Charlotte, an Monday, the
of 1785."
In the house are some very fine paintings on the panels
and ceiling, said to be the work of Salvator Rosa, the
greater part of which must be inevitably destroyed in the
general ruin. The house is the property of the Hon.
Mr. Flower ; and the materials are to be appropriated to
the repair of some neighbouring farm houses.

CAPTAIN ROSS'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The English expedition to the Arctic Pole (says the
Motu/cur) hss safely reached the 67th degree of north latitude.--
The steam-boat has traversed the moat dangerous seas of the globe.
But, wishing to touch at the the coast of Spitsbergen, she was over-
taken by a violent gale of wind, which carried away her maintop.
mast. Owing to a very fortunate accident, especially in a region
where no spars proper to repair such a loss could be expected to be
procured, an English vessel happened to get among the ice, and was
therefore abandoned by its crew, when her mainmast was taken
out by the steamer, as well as the provisions and fuel, that were re.
quisite for continuing the voyage to the Pole.

CROWN COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice BOSAIfeITZT.)
Phabe Cox, a erently attired female, was Indicted for stealing 8S
yards of silk from the shop of Mesas. White and Greenwell, Black.
friars-road.

Mr. Smith Oreenwell stated that the prisoner came into his shop on
the Bth of November, and u she was preparing to leave it he went up
to her in osier to enquire if she had been properly suited. He remark-
ed she had a bundle under her cloak, and be requested her to walk into
a beck warehouse, when -he found that she had a piece of gros de
Naples, value 81. under her arm. She fell upon her knees and begged
to be allowed to depart, pleading poverty.
in defence she handed in a written statement, stating that miserable
necessity bad driven her to this her first offence. She stated she had
buried four children within a fortnight, and had a sick husband starving
at home.

The Jury found her Guilty, but added a recommendation to mercy
from her tale of destitution.
The Judge, in passing sentence, said, from a document which had
just been placed in his hands, he was convinced she was unworthy of
belief, and ought not to remain in the country. It was a record of a
former conviction for stealing silk from Mr. Harvey, wherein sentence
had been commuted to imprisonment. He should take time to consider
the punishment.
NISI PRIUS COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Taawrow,)
James Rickards and William Bryant, two boys under the age of
14, yet known as most incorrigible thieves, were charged with having
stolen a gold watch from the shop of Mr. Hobbs, watch maker, in
Great Surrey-street.
The prisoner, Bryant, pleaded guilty, and the Jury found Richards
also guilty.
The Judge, in passing sentence, said their youth prevented the sen-
tence of death from being indicted, but they should have the punish.
menenext in severity.
This is the fourth time the prosecutor has been robbed by these boys.
London, England, 1830-12-31

THE INCENDIARIES.

Within a few days, four men have suffered death for the
crime of arson upon the Home Circuit. Of these there
were two of whose guilt no doubt could be entertained, and
whose dying declarations were in confirmation of the ver-
dict. Of the two others, we think the proofs of guilt not
quite so conclusive as to warrant the carrying into effect
the extreme penalty of the law, without further inquiry.—
In the last mentioned cases the wretched sufferers persisted
in protestations of their innocence to the last. Oue of them
(Ewen) who was convicted at Chelmsford, of setting fire to
a stack and barn at Rayleigh, was convicted, principally,
upon the evidence of a person who stood charged with being
accessary to the same crime. This man deposed that the
prisoner, without any conceivable inducement, disclosed to
him what he kept a secret from any body else—namely, that
he had perpetrated the offence. Besides this testimony there I
was no evidence against the prisoner, except some circum-
stances which only amounted to a slight case of suspicion.
The testimony of a person who stands himself in the situation
of an accused or suspected criminal, and who has consequently
a very intelligible motive for endeavouring to fix the guilt upon
another, should be received, in every case, with great cau-
tion, and ought never to be considered of sufficient weight
by n Jury to justify a verdict of conviction—especially on a
charge that consigns a fellow-creature to an ignominious
death—unless that testimony be corroborated, in at least
some material facts, by the evidence of unimpesched
wit-
nesses. The records of the administration of criminal jus-
tice in this country, notwithstanding the learning and pu-
rity of our Judges, contain many instructive instances of
the fatal errors into which Courts and Juries have been led
by giving too easy a credit to the artful and profligate state-
ments of approvers, and others charged with crimes, or in-

MONT ST. MIC HAE 4

The Castle of Mont St. Michael, in which Prince Polignac is doomed I
to perpetual imprisonment, is well calculated for the incarceration of a 1
personage who has, by his criminal obstinacy, caused the carnage which
recently polluted the streets of the first city of Continental Europe. It
is erected on a rock which rises 400 feet above the surface of the sea, on
the coast of Normandy, ten miles SW. of the town of Avranches, 90
miles east of St. Maio, and 180 west of Paris. It is a losoe in clacum-
I (menu, and in some parts the rock is perpendicular; it is boded entirely
at high water, but when the tide is out, the rock may be approached by
the sands. lome danger, however, attends the passage to those
who are not perfectly well acquainted with the track, u many quick-
sands intercept, where travellers have frequently been lost. There is a
small town on the Mount. The castle, which crowns the summit, is
accessible by steps cut in the solid rock. In die year 708, St. Aubert,
Bishop of vranches, here first erected the chapel dedicated to St.
Miehattl. le 966, Richard. the first Duke of Normandy, established a
convent of monks of the order of St. Benoit ; and in 1024, Richard, the
second Duke of Normandy, built the church, which still exists; but
the castle was completed by William the Conqueror, 1070. The
movisims that supply that formes are sent up in a basket, which is
drawn by a machine. Tradition says that there was in this castle an
Obligatory, or concealed trap door, where, in feudal times,
pusses were taken whom the State directed should be secretly put out
of the way. Under pretext of showing them the castle, they were
condueted into a remote chamber, in which they soon met their des-
tined fate ; for, chancing to step upon the concealed trap door, they
were pleated into the abyss, many hundred feet below, and
to piom. Here it was mat, In former timer, the Kings of
Promo and Dukes of Normandy and Brittany, made frequent pil-
grimages, and performed penance at the shrine of St. Michael whose
sword and shield are still exhibited at the fortress, together with some
cannon, left by the English, when they made a fruitless attempt to take

CAUTION TO FAMILIES.

THE immense demand for the undermentioned celebrated
articles for the Toilet having occasioned some unprincipled
shopkeepers to offer base imitations, when the genuine is asked for,
Messrs. Price and Gosnell, therefore, anxious to protect families and
the public against Impositions, have, at a very great expense, affixed
to the wrapper, on the outside of each genuine article, an Address
Label, of extreme difficulty of execution, resembling a Government
Stamp, having in its centre the words " 160, Regent-street, and 12,
Three King-court. Lombard-street," also underneath the signature
of" Price and Gesnell," to counterfeit which is felony. The genuine
sin only be depended upon in London, at the Establishments of Messrs.

Ms Merry Wives of Windsor was performed on Saturday night..
Howson portrayed, with much humour, all the peculiarities of the
sack.drinking knight ; occasionally he allowed his voice to drop so low
that it was scarcely audible. IiAILZT.II Slender was highly amusing.—
firsctaira personated Pinion, and sung, "The Spring Time is Coming,"
delightfully, and was rapturously encored. B. HiLt. (from the Eng-
lish Opera,) as Dr. Coins, met with a favourable reception. Miss
Byfield (the Mrs. Page) was in fine voim, and very much applauded.
Miss Pearson '(from the Adelphi) made !ter first appearance or, these
boards, as Mrs. Pond. She was most boiseerously seicomed, and her
efEwts were received with marked favour. Her singing was perfectly in
tune ; bet voice, by ;its sweetnessiatti flexibility, won universal adn
tion, and her first song she was compelled to repeat. Her good fortune
continued throughout the evening.

Mr. HERRIES said the treasury had, to the utmost of their
power, carried into effect the recommendation of the Finance Com-
mittee. _ _ _

Upon a vote of 60,0001. for a volounteer force,
Mr. HUME objected, and hoped that the house would not con-
sent to it, for it was one which admitted, more than any other, of
reduction. He should propose, therefore, in order to give time to
his majesty's ministers, that the vote should be taken for six months
only.
The SPEAKER said, that this would make the vote 120,0001.
Mr. HUME then moved as an amendment that the sum of
30,000/. should be taken for six months.
Mr. PORTMAN said it might b- reduced altogether, and he
trusted that those who were anxious for reduction would now sup.
port the hon. member for Aberdeen, and not suffer every motion
for retrenchment to be thus frittered away as often as it came before

A member, whose name we could not learn, said, that although

EXPEDISES OF SHERIFFS.

Mr. F. PALMER upon his but so great was *the noise of
the people entering the gallery that we could not heaia single sen-
tence that fell from him for some time. In reference to expenses of
sheriffs he said that they had not only to meet judges in a hand-
some equipage and four, and conduct them into town, in a chariot
and four, but they had also to make a present to the table pro-
vided for the judges, of four dozen of old port,Lin contravention to
the acts of the 13th and 14th of Charles the Second, which declared
that no table should be kept by sheriffs in assize towns, nor should
they make any present to the judges. The hon. member, after
stating a great number of other expenses to which sheriff's were
liable, concluded by moving the appointment of a select committee
to take into consideration the expenses attending the office of high
Sheriff, with a view to their reduction.
Mr. HUDSON GURNEY opposed the motion, which was agreed
to, and the committee were appointed.

GRAND BALL AT ST. PETERSBURGII.

Private letters from S. ;Petersburg)), of the 15th of February,
contain the following account of a splendid entertainment given to
the Emperor Nicholas and the Imperial Family by the Duke de
Montemart. Ambassador of France :—" On the sth his Excellency
gave a grand ball, which was honoured by the presence of ti.,
Emperor and Empress, the Grand Duke Michael, Prince Albeit
of Prussia, the Duke of Wurtemberg, and his two sons, and 400
persons of the first distinction. The Grand Duchess Helena was
prevented from attending by indisposition, but sent to ex-
press her regret. At all former similar entertainments none of the
guests, except the military officers, who, in Russia, never quit their
regimentals, have been accustomed to appear in court dresses ; but
the emperor, to gives further testimony of his esteem for his august
ally, not only gave orders that all his suite should be in their full
dreams, but that they should wear the ribands of their respective
orders, his majesty himself and the grand duke displaying
the cordon bleu. The empress deigned to open the ball by
dancing a Polonaise with the ambassador. She afterwards grant-
ed the mine honour to the ambassadors of England and Austria.
Her Majesty subsequently condescended to take the Baron de Sour-
going for her partner in a French contretlanse. At one o'clock,
the supper tables, sumptuously spread for 200 persons, were din.
played. That destined for the Empress was distinct from the rest,
and laid for Id persons, including Prince Albert the Ambassadors
and Ambassadresses of England and Austria, the Ladies of Honour
and the Ladies of the chief Dignitaries of the Empire. A similar
table was reserved for the Emperor, but his Ahrjesty declined
taking his seat, preferring his usual custom of making a tour of
the rooms, and addressing himself with gracious condescension to
the company. Towards the end of the supper his Majesty went up
to the Empress, and calling the Duke de Montmart, filled a glass
of champagne, and drank, in the most delicate and flattering terms,
to the health of the King of France, in which he was joined by the
Empress and Prince Albert. After supper dancing was resumed.
The Emperor, Empress, and Prince Albert, retired at three o'clock.
The next morning, the Ambassador being in horseback by the
aide of the Emperor, when viewing the entrance into the city of a
Brigade of Infantry of the Guard, his Majesty repeated the ex-
pressions of the satisfaction he had felt in being the guest of bin,
whom he had received in his tcnt beyond the Danube, and on the
borders of the Black Sea.

The above petitions were severally ordered to lie upon the table.
