THE STATtSMAN

he should have peremptorily refused to sanction them ;I
and having atoctioned them, it is his duty to hold them
inviolable. But why talk of duty to a Legitimate despot?
The terms are incompatible.

The Paris Papers announced the ratification of the ca-
pitulation of Barcelona. Mina, too, is added to the RA
of these who have compromised the honor of their country.
He has acted, probably, from a conviction that further
resistance would be useless ; and, perhaps, from the im•
possibility of continuing the defence. This event
will, we fear, bastes the murder of the brace Riego.

—He has now only the Empecinado to avenge his
death; and the means in the power of that chief are but
limited. With the snbmission of Mine, the present
contest is ended : and France Spain, and Portugal, are
united in a common league against the interests of England.
The fruits of this alliance will presently appear. The
holy allies cannot stand still in the midst of their'opera-
lions. Their cry is
." onward ;" and wherever they bend
their course, they have no longer the hostility of England
to apprehend.

A few days ago, five gentlemen (Spanish, French and j
Italian) being a deputation from a greater number, who
have taken refuge in England, on account of their activity
in defending the Spanish Constitution against the Bourbon
machinations for its destruction, waited on a distinguish. d
Member of Pat lament in the hope of some measure being
proposed for their relief. It is therefore to be hoped, that a
Public Meeting will be early convened, not influenced by
our national opinions in politics, hut simply of such► persons
as have a Christian commutiseration for human calamity. It
is to he remembered,that the Spanish was aniwitation of the
English Constitution, and its leading feature, that of con-
verting a cruel dispotism into a limited tiovernment. It is
likewise to be kept in mind, that, nattwithstanding the san-
guinary character of the former despotism,a horror of blood-
shedding, end an ece►►►plary.modera'ion had rharaeterized
the Spanish Cortes throughout its proceedings. If Perlinand
by the Constitution, from an " ab►olute king" had become
a limited monarch, is it not the boast of England that hers
is a limited monarchy? With regard to the' parties now
needing the offices of humanity, although several of them
by their bodily power; and mental acquirements, may in
due time be able to provide for themselves, yet at present,
their wants are extreme, and doubtless will not appeal to
English humanity in vain. It should seem probable, that a
Public Meeting might recommend the case of these sufferers
to the benevolence of an English Government.

An important meeting was held last night at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, fur the purpose of founding a “Ilerlsa-
ebonies' Institute" in the metropolis. The value of such
an object is that it should be conducted by those whom it is
carats& to benefit. In the first iastance it may be requisite to
assist the formation by the patronage of nen who more in
khiglier circle ; but if the mechanics are not in a-condition
taxmassaga tissamaisao at sitoimatiteletiesasehmiNia livery

short period they' will not be able to assume the manage-
ment at all; and it will not become " a Mechanics' Insti-
tute." We own these remarks only in the way of motion to
those who have the present direction, to introduce mecba•
nice into the various official departments with all
possible expedition. There is a modesty about the
character of the honest mechanic which will not permit
him to thrust forwerd even his just pretensions; and,
particularly. in the presence of those who•n he esteems and
admires. The value of such ao object is evident to all, as
tending -to benefit society lay the improvement of the
character of the individual. at remark was made by one
of the speaker., that among the extended citalogue of
eriminals, very few mechanics were to be found. This is
true; and it affords an important lesson to rulers. Those
who have been taught an art by which subsistence may ha
obtained, have better means of providing fur themselves;
and the result skews that dixtrese is more frequently the
parent of crime, than inclination. To instruct and
~to employ Mankind, is all that is necessary to put an end
•to the greatest portion of offences. %float shame, then, is
it to governments, that their aim should be so often to
keep people in ignorance, and to reduce them, by exor-
bitaot exactiot.s, to distress!

WtMnsoa, Nov.-IL-I'lns morning his Majesty took an I
airing in his phaeton in the Great Park to his !Loyal
Cottage, and viewed the improvements which are proeord-
ing there with all due speed ;afterwards the King returned
to the Castle to dinner. Yesterday the Princess Augusta
honoured the Earl and Countess of Harcourt with a
morning skit at St. Leonard's Hill, and returned to
Froginore to dinner. Sir Herbert Taylor accompanir
the Duke of York last Saturday; I. his Royal Highness's
visit to the King, to celebrate the Princess Atigueta's
birth day. On account of the floods continuing Out at that
Sine, the Royal Doke could not return to London by
Datchet, but was obliged to proceed by Englefield Green,
Staines, &c. In saint parts, the water was tip to the hotly
of the carriage. About forty yards of the park wall were
washed down, the water came in such strung torrents,
although large open spaces are left in the wall to let the
water through.

occupied at Wind-or of late, with the alterations and im-

generally understood that he is much pleased with his
new Royal residence.

IN Tilt Goons or CATRARINR, 11111PRIlle OW RUM*. •
Dr. LVBHINGTON in making an application to the court
in this case, said he expected her Majesty's name would ant
have been mentioned in the Court. The circumstances
however, were the following:—'
In the year )74,Mr itsxter.theAmbassadortu theConrt of
Resa.a,purchased Is) the desire of her Majesty, and with her
proper monies, a house No 7, Harley Street ; he held it in
trustiggibee Illujitetira, bee Executors. Adatinisteators, and
Aral., and Ito, wrens try deeds won nitrated- in tons*•
genie—in lbOtS Mr. Next. r died. and the Court of Russia
was now willing a good title should be made to the saws,
and that it should be disposed of. An order to that effect
had been sent over from Russia to Coast Lice's', the
Russian Ambassador. 'luting they considered it the
property of Russia, and directing the Coont to dispose of it.
The Learned Counsel therefore prayed that letters of Al -,li•
nistration, might issue to Count Lieven to carry the order
into effect.
Sir JOll,l NIPIIOLL said he should like to have the opinion
of the Law Odicers of the Crown before he made such an or-
der, which must be considered a very tinsel one, and wished to
be informed whether it was absolutely necessary.
Dr. ILLYSIIINGTON said, perhaps the Court would allow it to
stand over, when it could be ascertained lilt was indispensably
necessary. He had only received the certificate from Count
Lieven this morning, and had not time to make enquiries.
Sir JOIN NICHtiLL directed it to stand ober accordingly, bat
said if it was actually necessary, the Court would net mind
ateppiug a little out of their way to era 1 the application.

WOItSIIIP SIRKF.T.,(I'uts Dar.)

PUBLIC HOUSES UNDER TIIE WOOLCOMBIES' ACT.—This
office, during the whole morning, has been thronged to
excess by the long prorract!d case of William Hollow', of
Bass Street. Old Street Road, coming on before ROBERT
IiEvILL, KN. fur a final derision.
The information was laid by Kirby, the informer, who
stated he went into the defendant's house on the 18th Oct.
and drank a pint of porter, and that the hoes* was in every
respect like a public house.
Mr. HAMS •N, the loloria,er, attended to argne the point
on the part of the defence, and set up a right under the
(leo. 34, cap. 124, the defendant being the son of a
Woo!comber; to prove which he pot in the indenture of the,
defendant's fattier. and railed Nathaniel Rose, who knew
him for 411 years, and to be the unto nano. d therein.
Tnos. Murray, another witness, prn.lnce•l for defendant's
regia•ry of baptism, proving lie was the legitimate son of
the man name 4 in the indenture.
Mr. HANEUN now contended the defendant was not
liable to conviction. in as much that .the law authorized
him to pursue any trade Lo any town iu Great Britain, the
Universities exempt, a itholit bring subject to the Pens,
Statutes, and that io case of complaint it ought to come
ham the Excise or Cu.totoa.
The M■vistrates considered the proxf of his being the
son of a Woolconober had not exempted Moo, and coder cap
113 of the lime Act he was liable to conviction. He there.
fore convicted him, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 201.
Mr. Maxims instantly served the Clerk with notice of ap
peal, and the defendant ervered into the usnal recognizance.
/•he case is to go to the Court of King's 'Bench.

Hsrrox misekhle looking
woman, named Ann Roney, nas brought from the watcl►
house on a charge of leaving tlrfrau•lyd the Ceintra for for
the dust, by removing SOW, from a pahlie eletstAtelr in
North-ferret, Pentuncille.— Win. Dalton, servant to tier
Contractor, stated, that i.e saw her scraping tugethrr a few
tindery which, as she collected, she put in'o her apron.—
The dust hole he admitted to Win so exposed a situation
that any person eosthi get to it, nititnnt tee-p essing.—Tlee
woman pleaded, that fr•un dis'r-s, she was compelled to go
about collecting lmes, and laze, and that while searching
for these, finding a tinder or two, she had put thew into
her lip, thinkjng to make a bit of lire with theta ou gettiag
borne.
The Magistrate refitsed to eonvict on such a case as the
present, and dismissed her with a caution.

We some time ago stated th it rapt tin Harris, of the Ha -
ears, was about to he tried by a Court-Martial, at
Plymouth, for alleged delay iti obeying the orders of (ht-
verninent to sail itntneiliately with the Envoys for South
America. Letters from Plymouth, of the 9:h mention.
that Captain Harem has been out on his trial before a
Court-Martial, consisting of lire Captains, of whom the
senior Captain, M'Kenzie, was President. The trial was
at a stein I, however, in consequence of tae President having
been taken suddenly ill. Mr. Canning has been examined
as a witness, and eye understand fully acq.nitted. Captain
Harris, havingj, declared that no blame is attriliotable to
him, and that tint Envoys alone were chargeable with the
delay which had so, witch chagrined him. Captain Harris
is Use sans of Mr. Harris, of Covent-garden 'I heatre. and
bears, we underatand, a high character in his profession,
anti his freedom from blame his, a erefore given very ge-
nera! satisfaction. The result will be the conviction of in-
dividuals not put on their trial, nein. ly, Mr. Canning's
Envoys; and not a little surprise is expres.ell that the
Min:nifty should have had recourse to this measure.—lt
is rsth-r novel in the history of the country, that Ainhas-
sailors should he tried by Courts-martial—a .circninstance
came out in the course of this trial which surprised the
good p •ople of Plymouth. We had no Minister at Lisbon
when the counter-revollition was effected there by the
French Minister. The presence of Mr. Canning naturally
brought to their recollection a period, when. though there
was tic Court there, we could Still afford to maintain a
Lisbon Arnbalsador.—(Muraiag Chronicle.)
ACM DIEN T.—A fine lad named George Bayne, aged
nine years was, on Mond my after non, while riding through
Pentonville, oh a rusk, in x de my belongiog to Mr. Bluirat,
a brewer, suddenly, by a jolt, thrnwn off the cask, and
falling under the wheel it passed over his body, and killed
him on the spot. The hotly was conveyed to the Belvidere
Tavern, wile ean inquest will be held. The ruelanchnly
event is said to hive peen emir ly accidental.

GRAND BATTLE BETWERN JOSH. BUDSDIPAND
WARD,
FOR A STARE Or TWO RUNDRIO SOTERZIONS, TIOTIMIONT, AT

111113 T.
Much interest has often been excited by pugilistic exbillidons
and the plains of Molds.), bas been OP spot, where novices
have often tried their skill. The present combat excited more
than or•lnsry tnterest,•frmu the character and thefort• of the
sea. • Ward was considered se • man of between thirteen and
fourteen stone weight, a Jets Belcher of *Nis day, an oat and
outer; but be Ind once done wrong, in lighting a cross with
Abbot. He is a tine figure of a man. about five feet ten; and
Josh. Hudson ws• the o➢ly mauWard's friends cut out fur him
to exercise his skill.

Early yesterday morning the road was thronged with veal-
latiog. and a parcel of every other character. from the Semis
to Charley's Westminster pit, and the Stook Bachanie to Pet.
ticoat L-ne. Joshua appeared in the ring well kin, with every
Belting man at his station. Ward did not come to the met -it
for some time. Josh complained esergetically of being kept
o•t the eold ground, and et length Ward appeared, and tidy
shook bands.

The seconds were Spring end Br!rico for Ward, and Randall
and Peter Crawley for Hudson.--Average betting 6to 4 ou
Ward.
After shaking hands in 'he finest condition, ea amateur ob-
served truly, that Ward, chef, his are ‘s were doubled up for
first hit, was considerably the heaviest man. He was all bents
and muscle. Iluilson, on the contrary, looked more iike in al-
derman after feastini, and showed neither beaus aormaseW.—
Wkat he had were emerged I. fat.

Reund. 1. Beth Leary, but Josh. madetbe play by a lekbaod
6d hit, which told as slightly as the one returned upon him. A
hasty exehanse of hits, without any harm. Mashies' was the
order, and Josh was thrown from a close.
2. Ward's neck was scarritled by the ropes in the struggle
for the fall. • Josh. made the play, and his adversary retreated
into the corner ala Kendal. Josh. followed up to make fight,
1 but Ward evaded him, got away, and made a rally, and got the
head ofJosh. in this grasp of his left hand, and weaved with
the right ; Josh. was undermost in the fall from the dole, and
Ward smiled with confidence.--Two to one on Ward--a
begging.
_ - -

-- -
E. A real fighting round, both having the roast of lbw's.—
Josh. ads anced up to his adversary's head, ■s a game buffer
would at a bull, and a terrible hitting rally at the nob alone
followed. Ward chewed himself the best at tactics, gad hit
and got sway with surprising dexterity. In the grapple Jost..
was again worsted and Moore!. 'rite blow caus..d the fall, but
it was sot considered a knock down. the fight was eoosidere•l
half over. although Ward chewed first claret from the Luta, as
Caleb Ilahlain termed it, meaning the nose.

4. To give an adequate description of the mennar In which
this round was fought, is not within the means of our infor.o-
ant. Josh, made the play, and Ward, beat upon his legs, us..l
his ability to avoid his,. When they met in contact. the must
manly courage was displayed, and the hitting was heavy.—
After rallying at each other's nobs until the Chancery suit Ilse
doubtful, Josh. had a turn in return, and W•rd was thrown
weak, with his feet between the lower ropes. A Westcountry -
man called out, " Why what bee a straddeling far!"—Tae
odds kept up at Y to I on Ward, althuirah both were piping.
b. A round without mischief, from tiresome toil, and both
dews.
O. Hudson made the play again most undauntedly, but Ward
hit, gut away, and had the best of ti.tlitiug. Hudson ran in
wild, and notwithstanding the word " steady" trout one of his
seconds; he showed as much Jolly treasure as a gallant tar
would in boarding an enemy, but after exchanging blows iu
and out of maks, Josh, was ft.ored.
7. Ward placed 'a good hit upon his adversary's throat,Josb.
swallowed the claret arising therefrom. Ward broke his
ground to all parts of the ring.—(An amateur sang out, "Don't
break out of the ring.") Itt a rally it was equal lighting, but
Josh. threw his adversary.
S. lithisou's superior feeding showed itself the piper timing
lam ' • he put himself first in the attitude of an enrued Billing:-
g to Tinge, and then folded his arms, taking care of his dis-
tance from the enemy. Ward was too tired fir offensive ope-
rations, and Josh. said, " Wny vet stand to ma. and light? I
duisTwent to stay here a week." At the tam to he placed a
good left handed body hit., but he was thrown.
9. Josh. was bleeding a tight stream row the left eye, bulbs
grossed his adversary.
Id. In this round Ward placed repeated hits on his adver-
sary's head without being returned upon. Josh, was bleedir:g
and nearly a blinker. He had no chance in the round, arid he
wee floored.-6 to lon Ward, and it was thought the light was
over.
11. Josh, made a lucky impression upon Ward's right eye,
which be rolled aboutin true harlequinade.
It. Hudson ander every disadvautage made the play, and
had the best of the round. The forlorn hope was the order of
light; Joan. nearly blind, and the other as weak as a kitten ;
Josh. got an easy fall.
13. This roue i won Hudson the battle. The hit in the eye,
with many other bodily bruises which a Sessions lawyer could
uot euutuenste, tried the thorough Itreedof Ward; but however
good he was he was hit to done in divers places.
14. Ile had a trial iu this round but a push would have won
it. Josh. gave sway no chance, but tilt for the last floorerolool
on Spring getting his man ou his knee his hoed dropped no-
tiAiless, and he was drat to Ike welcome word of " Time."—
The umpires proclaimed Hudson the winner. Both had their
(mantilla of penis ainent. Josh. went to dub and was bled,
and toe looser was worst of the tofu. Iliad:roe awoke out of a
kind of ten usinutes' tronc‘, and spirit() a pal—" Jack, I've gut
five guilt, as, my w• against Leonel', winning, go a.,:d
hedge to it, and put Iwo or three into my pocket, as you can't

wowing.
It is said Hudson won by goodness alone, and he is the
bravest man that ever peeled since Cribb, in his or iy. Ti
is no denial shout him--he will serve as welt es he served; and
to his extraordinary pluck he has 91 constitution like a Mails
pony. Ward. like most outer proticients, has been too much l%
the sparring school, where he has been taught to mind h•s p r-
ries, instead of his pupil instructing him •1 the tutu {ease. Ile
proved himself a most expert boxer, and way be considered
very formidable as a brave young man.
Aaron the Jew, heat Lenney afterwards. Five to four on
Lenny, who had no chime*. The ring was broke, so that the,
spectators and etneveraticers were so Mende t together. that an
imperfect sight from the waggons could not be had: Amain is
a good little man, full of pluck and silence, and too bras y for
his antagonist.
