A special Vestry of the Parish of St. James,
Clerkenwell, was also held yesterday in the
Church, for taking into consideration the present
disgraceful and dangerous state of the roads at
Pentonville. Resolutions had been proposed at a
former meeting, that a Committee, consisting of
five parishioners, to be named by the Vestry, and
five of the Commissioners of the Paving Board,
should be appointed for the purpose of obtaining
an Act of Parliament to amend the errors existing
in their present Paving Act, by virtue of which
the Commissioners of the metropolitan roads deny
their liability to repair tho roads in question. This
resolution gave rise to much discussion, and a
display of party feeling which promised any thing
but a speedy relief to the public from the grievance
complained of, as the result to be looked for from
their deliberations. An amendment to these reso-
Intions was moved by one of the three parties by
which the meeting appeared to he divided, pro-
posing that the Vestry shon'd invest the Church-
wardens with powers to employ dirt able-bodied
poor seeking parochial relief in repairing, tem-
porarily, the roads, and that on the 22d September
they should take into their consideration the pro-
priety of appointing a Surveyor of Paving. To
this au amendment was moved by a third party
that the Commissioners of the Paving Board should
be called upon to perform their duty by at once
repairing the roads, fur which purpose they were
alleged to hold ample funds in their hands. This
amendment was carried by a majority of 35 to 30.
To this, as the partisans cf the Paving Board de-
clared, the Paving Board will not pay the slightest
attention, and the limbs and lives of his Majesty's
subjects will therefore remain in jeopardy. It was
stated that already 10 or 12 indictment ;arc pending
for injuries occasioned by the bad state of those
roads.

Mr. Edw. Smith Hall, of the Sydney Gazette,
appears to have undergone such severe and illiberal
persecutions in New South Wales, for simply pub-
lishing the unimpassioned truth, that if thousands
of cases did not refiner it most important that truth
should be no criminal libel, this case of Mr. Ilan
would alone be sufficient to justify Mr. O'Connell's
excellent Bill. In fact, the liberty of the press is
but a name, if a public journa'ist is ci iininally
answerable for printing the naked truth.
One of the great evils of the present state of,
trade and credit is the . lmost inseparable difficulty
of obtainining remittances from the country ; the
difficulty of obtaining syments, &c. being a valid
excuse, and hence a circle of difficu:ties is gene-
rated through all trade nod transactions.
From the terms of the last imperial Proclatua-
tion,we expect no successful negotiations in favour
of Poland, till after a Polish victory; but it is
said that the King of Bavaria has received repre-
sentations in favour of the Poles from the town of
Wurtsburg. The Hungarians will be followed by
other nations in pressing upon their governments
an interference which humanity so imperiously de-
mands.
