6PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—We have already shown that
Lord Ashburton's capitulation has been in its
'Meat features needless and an injurious surren-
der to the United States of British rights and
interests; that it has yielded up a territory coo-
sisting of about seven thousand square miles, to
which the right of England bad been recently
established, and that it has 'given to the United
States additional means of attack against our
North American provinces in case of war. But
if the smaller details of the treaty are examined,
it will be seen that they are all framed " in the
sante spirit,' to use the phrase of the New York
dinner, namely, in the spirit of entire submis-
sion, in every respect, to American pretensions
and encroachments; for, not only have all points
on which the construction of the treaty of
1783 bad been disputed been given up to the
United States, but a wanton concession has
been made to them on a point with regard
to which the treaty of 1783 was precise and
unquestioned. The treaty of 1783 says that part
of the boundary is to consist ofa line to be drawn
due north from the source of the river St. Croix,
and that this line is to be continued up to the
highlands described in the treaty. In the years
1817 and 1818 surveyors were employed on both
sides to draw this line from that point which the
two Governments had bound themselves by the
treaty of 1798 to consider as the source of the St.
Croix. These commissioners, however, did not
profess that the line which they partly marked
out was to be the final boundary, nor was it ever
till now acknowledged to be such by the British
and American Governments. It was always
described as being that which it really was,
namely, an " exploratory north line ;" a line
cut through the matted wilderness and. forest
to pave the way for a more accurate line to be
traced out afterwards. Accordingly, as this
line was understood not to be a final one, the
English surveyors were careless in tracing it ;
but not so time American surveyors, who seem to
have outwitted their English colleagues as much
as Mr. Webster has outwitted Lord Ashburton.
At every prolongation of the line,from station to
station of observation, the ,American surveyors
kept edging away to the eastward instead ofloing
due north; after a certain distance, it is believed
the English surveyors went away and left the
Americans to finish the work ; and the result is,
that this " exploratory north line" runs to the
eastward of the north, and at . its intersection
with the St. John, is at a considerable distance
front the true meridian of the head of the St.
Croix. This must have been known to the Bri-
tish Government and•tO Lord Ashburton, 4at all
events, it ought to have been known to
them. Now, in the late treaty, Lord Ashbur-
ton, instead of adhering to the words of the
treaty of 1783, which say that the line is to be
drawn due north from the source of the St. Croix,
adopts instead of such a line the exploratory line
traced out by the surveyors in 1817 and 1818,
which has been proved by subsequent observa-
tions to be an unfair and considerable encroach-
ment upon the territory of New Brunswick. The
treaty of 1783 says that the boundary line is to
be drawn along the highlands down to the ;lord,-
westernmost head of the Connecticut river, and.
a difference arose between the two Government%
which that bead was. The British Goverunte-At
contended that it was the head of ilia' riverwhlch
bears the name of the Connecticut trout its source,
and which traverses a lake ca':,ed the Connecti-
cut Lake; while the Amer'xan GovernMent in-
sisted that it was the 1te'3,..1 of a small tributary
stream which falls in'.o the Connecticut some
way cut Luke, aid which has

The head 'of "Ball's Stream" is no more the
head of':aa Connecticut, than the head of the
WeY 'or the Collie are the head of the Thames.
Th', King. of Holland decided this question in
ur favour,:and thelate Commissioners Captain
Broughton and Mr. Featherstonhaugit, report
that time river Connecticut, at the point where
Hall's Stream falls into it, is so much the largest
of time two that not a doubt can exist as to which
is the main river, and which the tributary stream.
But the admission of the head of Hall's
Stream as the north-westernmost head of
the Connecticut, gives to the United States

HERALD.—The getting rid of the substitu-
tion of. female and infant for male labour in our
factories, is not merely desirable on humane and
economical grounds,—the restoration of adult
• male labour is absolutely necessary as a con-
dition precedent to the only effectual cure of the
evils of our manufacturing -System,—the moral
and religious • culture of the operatives. It is
idle to erect churches, to endow incumbencies,
to establish schools, to extend 7irlissionary- exer-
tions, or to-rely on either lay or Scripturiii edu-
cation, until factory wives are restored .to. their
husbands, mothers tO their children, and children
to their homes—until men are enabled by their
labours to support their familiez,.—and until youth
in .Lancashire and Yorkshire be again the season
of instruction, of domestic uurturc, and of glad-
ness, until it be a fit preparation fur manhood
and age, and he not converted into the four:-
dation of disease, the period of exhausting ex-
ertion, and of tuition in vice. Vain are all our
efforts to extend opportunities of moral
and religious education so long as wives
support by their intense and wasting labour in
mills and factories their husbands, so long as

POST.—Mistaken as we believe that part (4'
the nem tariff %Illicit permits the introduction of
foreign cattle at a duty of 11. a-head, the evil is
not seen in half its magnitude till we contem-
plate the effects of the clauses regulating the im-
portation of store meat. The hardships of this
latter branch of the law will be little less than
intolerable. They will soon be crowding on Us,
and if we cannot avert them, we shall at least do
our duty by keeping people's minds in a state of
preparation—by putting them on their guard, if
so they can in any way mitigate the force of the
blow. We would just ask our readers to early
with them the terms of the navy provisions con-
tract—terms dictated by the Government which
proposed and carried the tariff. The meat is
to be of the " cure" of the United KingdonoThe
Government which proposed the introduction
of foreign salted meat for the general consump-
tion of the public, thought their' duty to that
same public called on them to exclude it from
the consumption of the navy. Far be it from us
to complain of this ; but we say that it is an un-
equivocal, though an indirect confession, that
the law is itself a bad one. We give the Go.
vernment credit for sagacity as much as for in-
tegrity. The blunders of the wise are proverbial.
We believe they made a sad mistake in drawing
up their tariff,.and we are willing to think that,
having discovered one of the mistakes, they did,
like honest men, endeavour, in this contract bu-
siness, to do something towards its retrieval.

DE LA MAR TINE ON THE TNDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF
TILE HUMAN RACE.—" Permanent enlarcTement" has
proved fatal to the morals of one of our " highly re-
spected" contemporaries. Like • the old bone at the
door of certain " slop shops," " Permanent enlarge-
ment" signifies that all literary wares will be received
without asking questions. It is necessary, however,
to serve them as dog-stealers do spaniels, either by
painting a few fresh spots, or, at the least, cutting oif
a stray inch of tail or ear, that the wandering pup
may not be recognised. On this principle is our pet
spaniel, M. Lamartine, doing duty with shortened
ears and strange mutilations in our friend's perma-
nently enlarged kennel—we beg pardon—columns,
without acknowledgment, and under a somewhat
varied name. Our contemporary's adroitness equals
its honesty.—Post.
METROPOLITAN Impßov EM ENTs.—Mr. Cubitt is
now making a new square on the Marquis of West-
minster's Pimlico estate, to Tie called Saint George's-
square, extending from Besborough ;place to the river.
It will be 1,170 feet wide, and 1,213 yards long. Mr.
Cubitt is also going to erect chain pier at *loot of
Vauxhall Bridge, for the accpmui4ation of the
steamers. The new road that W nav making from.
the bridge to pass through those elegant squares in a
line, will be opened to Albert-gate in November next.

The sons of the Prince of Schonberg, accompaniekd
by their tutor, Professor Bach, of Mlle, are, during
,their vacation, paying a flying visit to our metropolis.
On Monday they were conducted by Mr. 11. Fearon,
jun., over the St. Katharine and London Docks. In
one vault which they visited (there are eigrit others)
there are now 28,000 casks of wine; they then went
over the Custom-house, the Bank, and-other City
establishinents, with the colossal magnitude of which
they were a.,:tonished and gratified. They proceed to
Manchester.

We understand that on the Ist of October the mu-
nicipal authorities of Manchester, Birmingham, and
Bolton will, for the first time, undertake the direc-
tion and management of their. own. police% From
1839 to the present period the police force of Man-
chester and Birmingham has been under the com-
mand of Sir Charles Shaw and Captair, Burgess,
Commissioners appointed by Government- We have
learnt with regret that Captain Burgess 'has received
an intimation from the town-clerk, thc-., by a reso-
lution of the Watch Committee, his assistance will
not be required after the Ist of October , the period
at which his services terminate ; and it is under-
stood that

Charles Shaw's force, which, it.. is said, acre then to
be disbanded. The arrangehmts with. regard to
Bolton have not transpired. Colonel .Angelo \vas
appointed the Commissioner of Police fa: Bolton by
the Whig Government in 1839 ; but, aftor organizing
the necessary force of about 20 men, the, Gallant Co-
lonel, in a spirited letter to the Mayor c if Bolton, re-
signed his appointment, freely 'expressin F his opinion
that it would be " a complete robbery Aar him to ac-
cent from the town of Bolton a salary of 5001. per

Hons.—lt is said that. the produce will be larger
than was anticipated, previous to picking; and the
estimated duty has consequently • advanced to 58,000/.
In the Maidstone districts picking is now so far closed
as to enable the planters to ascertain the amount of
their crop. '
rhe yield in this district is generally equal
to expectation. The deficiency in the Weald is doubt-
less considerable, and in that district the duty is con-
sidered overrated.—Kentixh Observer.

ilay the places and favours which his tragedy of Marie
Stuart had procured him, viz. :—a French peerage,

the Academy. Alexander Dumas thereupon asked,
what then ought to be done' to recompense him for his
40 pieces for the stage, and 80 volumes of novels ?

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—It is strongly surmised that, pre-
viously to the meeting of Parliament, Lord
Stanley will be pitchforked into the House of
Peers. The extreme age of the Duke of Welt
lington renders him obviously incapable of the
constant attendance and active participation in
the debates which the Ministerial leadership im-
poses on him ; if indeed, his official duties as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Army, did not render such
a participation both impossible and improper.
Lord Wnarncliffe is found incompetent, from
want of the necessary tact ; and one more ready
of speech, and more conversant with the general
business of the Government, is deemed necessary.
Sir Robert Peel also finds him Sell embarrassed
by the difficulties in which Lord Stanley's pre-
sence in the Commons constantly places him.
The Noble Lord is of too ardent temperament,
and independent spirit, to allow himself to be
confined within the limits of his own depart-
ment ; and is so little to be trusted in gene-
ral debate, that the utmost skill of his
leader sometimes fails to extricate him and
the Government from the consequences of js
indiscretion. How far the latter evil would be
mitigated by trusting Lord
i Stanley with the re-
sponsible post of leader n the. Lords, may be
doubted; nor is it likely that the discordant ele-
ments of that assembly, which can scarcely be
kept within bounds by the prestige of the Duke
of Wellington's name, and the almost martial dis-
cipline lie enforces upon them, will submit to he
led "by a newly-made Peer; who must, to a
great extent, be ignorant of their fbrins, and he
destitute of the influence which is essential to
command attention.
STANDA RD.—A Stockport newspaper gives
a melancholy account of the consequences of the
late turn-out in that borough. From its statistics
it would appear that a sum little short of 75,0001.
has been lost to the inhabitants of that town
alone by the late strike. Some notion may
thus be formed of the enormous sacrifices that
must have been made by the operative classes of
the district, to enable them to remain out of
work for so long a period. Setting aside the
waste of their former earnings, and the dissipa-
tion of the funds of their benefit and friendly
societies, the nature of their privations
during this long and profitless struggle must
have been most severe. But what care the
leading instigators of this fatal demonstration for
their sufferings ? To many of them, indeed,
conscious of over production, and anxious not to
increase their stocks until they could do so at a
lower rate of wages, the excuse for temporarily
shutting up their mills was rather convenient
than otherwise ; and having the two-fold object
of' alarming the Government and grinding the
faces of the manufacturing poor at the same time,
they set about the work energetically and in
good earnest; and although they have miserably
tailed in accomplishing either object, whatever
sacrifices the attempt has cost has fallen wholly
on the victims of their cunning. No one
who remembers the menaces which preceded the
late disturbances on the part of the Anti-Corn-
Leaguers and their emissaries, can arrive at any
other conviction than that the whole conspiracy
was deliberately planned and carried, with the
most perfect concert, into effect. Not content
with originating the movement, the Anti-Corn-
law agitators did every thing in their power to
increase it. The disturbances are now happily
at end, but in the interim the poorer classes of'
these populous districts (many of them forced
into a temporary association with the rioters)
have been, and still are called upon to endure
the severest privations for their credulity ; whilst
even those who, by a return to their respec-
tive occupations, can provide with decency for
their families, have been deprived by their long
cessation from work, of comforts which savings so
fruitlessly expended might have procured for
them. The aggregate amount of money which
has been squandered in this outbreak must, in-
deed, be a frightful sum, if that of a single bo-
rough has been correctly estimated, at 75,000/.
Dearly as it has been purchased, however, the
lesson cannot fail of proving an impressive one;
since it will teach the humbler classes how
little faith they can repose in those dema-
gogues who have called upon them for sacri-
fices they have themselves been unwilling
to incur ; and who have endeavoured to make
them instruments of their own malignant
passions, without the most remote prospect of
advantage. 'lf the estimate of the Stockport
journalist be correct, several hundred thousand
pounds must have been squandered in this fruit-
less contest—a debt for which the League are
morally responsible to their victims. To this
amount, the enormous expense to which the
country has been put fbr restoring and maintain-
ing the public peace, and compensating for pro-
perty wantonly and wickedly destroyed, has of
course to be added; and it is notuntil the balance
has been duly ascertained that the country can
fully appreciate the extent of its obligations to
Anti-Corn-law agitators.

CHARGE OF ARSON AT LIVER-
POOL.

CONTINUATION OF THE PRISONER'S

EXAMINATION.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of this day.)
The examination was again resumed on Thursday,
before Mr. Rushton. The Court was, as on the pre-
ceding days, exceedingly crowded.
Mr. James wished to know whether Mr. Rushton
intended to commit the prisoner at all events
Mr. RUSHTON said he should commit him if the
case was left in its present state, but he was quite
capable of receiving impressions in favour of the
prisoner.

Mr. James then entered into a very clever and
able defence on behalf of the prisoner; contending
that it was extremely improbable, from the nature
of
.the evidence produced against him, and
from the circumstances which he should lay
before them in the course of the defence,
that he (the prisoner) had been guilty of the serious
crime with which he stood charged. He then
went over the evidence against the prisoner, remark-
ing that unless they could produce some facts connect-
ing the prisoner immediately with the fire, there
could be no charge to send him before a Jtiry ; and if
they separated the testimony of Alice Service from
the rest, (and in his opinion her testimony was con-
sistent in many particulars,) there was no evidence at
all on which to found the charge. He then called
the following witnesses for the defence :
John Magee, a labourer, in Doran's employ, had
been keeping watch since the great fire, and was at
home on Monday evening last. Darragan called,
about half-past five, for Doran to go to the Theatre.
Doran went, and left witness and Mrs. Doran in the
the house. She afterwards followed them, and Magee
remained in the house to take care of it. Witness
went to bed, after putting out the fire, about eight
o'clock. Laid down in Mrs. Doran's room, and went
to sleep, but was roused soon after by the alarut
of fire.

By Mr. Dowling--Don't know who assisted him
in getting out the drawers, which were lost in the
street, and had not been seen since. Witness said his
master exerted himself very much in trying to extin-
guish the fire and also in saving the property.
Edward Bannon, an apprentice to a pawnbroker,
was at the Amphitheatre, on Monday night last,
in the boxes, and saw prisoner there, about half
an hour after he had been in. His wire and he
were together, in a seat behind witness, along with
Daragan, Davidson, M'Camley, and some others.
Left the box about half an hour after first seeing
him, and remained away about a quarter of an
hour, and on returning, saw him again in the
same box, and also some tune afterwards, from
time to time. Prisoner could not have left the
box while witness was there. When out the second
time heard the clock strike ten, and on returning, went
to the top of the stairs, and heard a rattle. Said
to the check-taker--" Holloa, there is another fire,"
but the check-taker said it was the old fire which had
broken out again.' Saw Mr. Ready there, and said to
the check-taker, there was a friend of his who lived
near the fire, and he would go and tell him. Went
to the box and told Doran, and went out with him as
far as Queen-square, and then left him on his way
home. Prisoner said he thought it was only the
ruins of the old fire, and if so, would come back.

Robert Davison, cotton-dealer, was at the Amphi-
theatre on Monday night, and saw Doran there and
spoke to him. Bannon came in and told prisoner
about the fire, and they went out together. Prisoner
did not leave the box before that_ time.
Terence Magee, a cotton dealer, and an acquaint-
ance of prisoner's deposed to being at the theatre, and
seeing Doran, who was in the same box with him.
Witness left him about half-past nine, and on his re-
turn found him still there, Bannon came to him
about the fire. The prisoner did not go cut at all ex-
cepti, when he went out with Bannon.

William Ready took part in the affairs at the thea-
tre on Monday night. When the check-taker said
the fire had broke out again, the witness Bannon
went in and told Doran, who came out with him soon
after, and they left the theatre together.
These were all the witnesses for the defence.
Mr. RUSHTON said he had an inquiry to make
which would prevent him closing the case that night,
but he would do so on Friday (this day), as soon,after
two o'clock as possible.
The examination occupied upwards of four hours.
