opinion, now t

which he had no means of paying from funds legally, at his disposal,” would be nothing short of an attempt at public robbery ; and that it would be “ better, to dis- charge the prisoners from jail,” than to endeavour to

rovide for their safe keeping and sustentatiog by means zo nefarious asthe issuing of unauthorised ‘Treasury Warrants. By the bye we may here observe how fully this proceeding justifies the accusation of the House of Assembly, in their petition to her Majesty preferred against the Government, and directly charging them with having appropriated public moneys independently of the sanction of the Assembly.

This decision of Earl Grey has, no doubt, greatly afflicted the Government and the Officials; not indeed because of its frustration of their “care and anxiety for the public welfare,” but.on account of its annihilation of hopes which much more nearly concerned themselves, Dull indeed must that observer be, who does not per- ceive that the real design of the Executive Council, in advising his Excellency to issue Warrants unauthorized by the Assembly, upon the Treasury, ‘for the payment of any expenses which might be incurred for the main- tenance and safe custody of the Prisoners confined in thevseveral Jails of this {sland,” was not to provide for the preservation of the peace of the community, or for the due administration of the laws; but, under the cloak of “care and anxiety for the public welfare,” to entrap Earl Grey, and draw from him a sanction of the illegal proceeding which they were prepared to pursue ; that euch a sanction might afford them a warrant and prece- dent for drawing upon the Treasury for whatever fur- ther seems they might require, in open contempt of the authority of the Assembly. Earl Grey was not, how- ever, to be so easily caught as they had imagined ; and their gunning device, instead of extricating them from their embarrassments has only served to shew them more clearly the difficulties of their position, through the light thrown upon it by the declaration of Karl Grey that he cannot sanetion the advice of the Council, or its adoption by His Excellency; that is, that he cannot tend his countenance to their avowed intention of plun- dering the public chest. If this is not a pretty sharp and unqualified rebuke, we do not indeed know what would constitute one.

The name of the ruffian who perpetrated this coward- ly assault on a lady, and a Queen, whilé riding’in her carriage, is Robert Plate. He served, it seems, first as a cornet, and secondly, as a lieutenant in the 10th hus+ sars, and sold his commission before the embarkation of his regiment to India, four years ago.

What his motives were for this extraordinary. pro- ceeding does not appear. In station he is far in advance

casions assaulted or attempted the life of the Queen.-- In despotic countries, where the will of the sovereign is the law of the land, attacks of his character may be traced to morbid feelings of vengeance under whieh the parties rankle. But in a country like England, where the supreme power is passive in the hands ef the Minis- ter for the time being, the indulgence of conduct so un- manly, and, in the case ofa lady, so thoroughly disgust- ing and brutish, can only be traced, we suspect, to a state of mind bordering on positive insanity. But this is a point which will receive, of course, the fullest and most complete investigation,

Such incidents, however, bring out more fully the loyal feelings of Englishmen, and the personal charac- ter of the Queen. Her virtues, and her modest, ami- able, and womanly bearing, impress more fully upon al} who own feality to the throne their perfect appreciation of the mild and liberal Government under which they live, and of which she is the head.

EXAMINATION OF THE PrisoneR.—Robert Plate was brought up at the Home-office to day for examination before Mr. Hal] chief magistrate of Bow-street Police- court.

Sir G. Grey, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and other offi- cials were present. The prisoner stands about six feet one, and looks a little above forty, with light hair and moustaches, and slightly bald, of slender make, and stoops slightly. His appearance, manners and dress, were extremely gentlemanly. He appeared to be quite collected, and even indifferent; and so far as cou!d be judged there was nothing to indicate insanity. A}- though the different accounts allude to some syimptoms of vacancy or restlessness, it is quite impossible to form) any decided opinion on the subject. The following! witnesses were called :—Colonel Grey, equerry to her! Majesty; Robert Bennick, sergeant footman to the Queen; Silver, sergeant in the police; and Mr. Cow- ling, book-seller, Norwich-court, Fetter-lane, who de- posed the facts attending the assault already made pub- tic. At the close of their evidence, and upon the appli-! catinn of the Attorney General, the prisoner was remand- | ed at twelve o’clock.

CommerctaL.—Business generally has been tame during the past week, which is principally owing to the closing of the half year. The arrivals of Produce in Liverpool have been light, but the markets generally show no material alteration as compared with last week.

The accounts-from the manufacturing districts, mani- fest no abatement in general activity. At Notingham the lace trade has improved. At Leicester great confi-

ing arrested and, subsequently, prosecuted for an un-) manly attack upon a poor woman; or even in being, obliged, as a vanquished bully, to seek the protection which the law afforded, and for his personal security, | to have the chastiser of his insolence bound over to, keep the peace; than can possibly attach to one who merely enters an Assault and Batteries Court to cause due punishment to be inflicted upon the perpetrator of an unprovoked and ruffianly outrage ?

We believe the records of the Assaults and Batteries Court of Charlottetown will prove that, from personal! experience in the two former predicaments, Mr. Douse ought to be able, with but little consideration, to give a decisive answer to our question,

dence is expressed as to future prospects, and from Leeds, Bradford, Halifax and Rochdale, all the letters speak of full employment and steady markets. At man- chester, however, there has as yet been no improvement.

Freights remain without much alteration, though to) some ports rather easier. The quantity of measurement} goods offering continue large, but weight is scarce to} the northern ports. Passengers have fallen off the last few days, and rates are declining. ——yoe — = | Public Meeting at Mount Pleasant.}|
