THE GOOSE AND THE GANDER . £ vert one has beard the saying that one man j 0 j safely steal a horse while another would risk fciBg isg if he should merely look OTer a hedge at jjjja , Au excellent opportunity now offers of fbserriughowfar this ma-rin ^ i 3 the guide of "Whig poliey in their prosecution of offenders . The Morning Herald , a Tory paper of more talent jlun any of its compeers , has taken a very decided jnd proper stand agains : ihe tyranny of the House f £ Commons on . the " privilege" question . It ha * Vji ihe self-constituted despots , who affect to act by THE GOOSE AND THE GANDER .

Certainly thai paper manifests no fear of the Attorney General , for we find in it , on liie matter of the imprisoned sherin ^ , tie followiiig ,-whkh , without other jjom or comment , appears as a letter , addressed to Jbe Editor , under the somewhat ominous signature
« Fair play for the people of Old England . The Parliament men are going to thumb-screw free-born Britons . Why r Because might is right ; and when one can ' t get one ' s rights by law , we mnst take ' em by force . Very good ; if that ' s their word , ¦ « tand by , and let ' s have a fair fight . Tbe fooner they stretch Howard and Stockdale
on the rack the better , for the sooner will we merry men give the tyrants a taste of t&eir owd physic , after the good old sledgehammer school of argument . _ I hear the frenchmen pulled down the Bastile a while > vgo .

Isqcest . —Ou Monday night , an inquest was held ( by adjournment from Sa ; urday aoruiug ) at the ©« rt House , before Jahu Biackburn , £ aL on the body of Jonattian Craven , lately residiug in Back Templar-sueet . ihe deceased had for some time carried on the business of a dealer in malt and lived qaite alon ? , iiiou ^ h he wa 3 in the habit of frequently visiting his relatives . On Thursday nighi last , from his not having been seen during the day his house was examined , and ihe keys of both doors being m > : de , a iu .-p ; ciou was awakened , the door wa * forced , and Craven was found in bed quite dead . He h ^ d not pee . i seen by any person after Wednesday noon , is ^ me writing ( wuh chdlk ) was found on ihe kiicLeu floor , eiatms that a sack which was up stairs was for his uncle Joseph and
two small pmuls , whseh had contained laudanum were m the cupoourd , from which it was inferred that he ban uied trom hii own hand , and a post I nwrtem examination was gone into by Mr . Teale j surgeon , who found about an ounce and a ' half of ! brownish n \ : id m ihe stomach , which , in consequence : of the . putrefactive Mate oi the body , it was impos-, s : ble to teii the real nature -of , without an analvsi « and . it was given to ^ ir . Wes ; for this purpose ! With this exception , there were no appearances but what might bo considered aa quite natural — ! On Monday evening , Mr . West staled to the Jury i that he had carefully analyzed tho contents of the stomach , which had been submitted to him ; he found no mineral poison ur prusoic acidbut detected
, the presence of opium . He could not , however say taa ; it had been taken in sufficient quantity to cause death , though doubtless a large duze must ; have been admm ^ tered . Taking , therefore the appearapce of natural disease , which had been des-. crithjd by ilr . Teaje , the Jury agreed upon a verdict I — That tho ceceasea had been fuund dead in bed ) but how he came to his death there was no evi-• dence to thew . " The Coroner observed , at the i conclusion of this inquiry , tha . t the Town Clerk had been gratuitously laying down the alw to the ¦ Council , 10 the effeet that in all cases whore the
i verdict was "Natural Death / ' or "Died by the : visitation of Gad , " the Council had the power to ' deprive the Coroner of his fee ; now this case was 1 very similar to the cases alluded to by the Town Clerk , and it might have reasonably and properly : ended in a verdict of Natural Death ; in that event : although the Jury might not be judges of the law ' the Coroner submitted they would scarcely be of opinion ihat he did not deserve his fee . U pon which oil the-Jury expressed themselves strongly against ; the opinion of the Town Clerk , and one gentleman ' said he thought no person of common sense would agree with him .
Co . NCLivr for tiis Distressed Poor . —A concert for the beuefk of the disiretstd poor of this town ; came off on Monday evening , at the house of Mr . ; Porter , the Railway Hotel , and was attended by a numerous and highly respectable auditory ; a groat \ portion of whom , consisted of that sex " whose jyiiiles j Ulamijie , and whose presence cheers . " The ' conceri ¦ was go ; np by Messrs . Shaw and Varley , choristers . of Trinity cburch , aided by the iudefat gablo exer-, tions of the worthy landlord , and it must have been ¦ a sincere pleasure to these individuals to know that : their eiforis have been crowned with a success be-. yond their most sanguine expectations— a sum of : £ " Is . having been realised tor the benevolent object \ ¦ which they haU in view . The performers acquitied themselves in the mes ; satisfactory manner , and the Tariouspieces were executed with great spirit . We . understand that ^ another concert , fo ,- a different object , will take place at the same house , on the even' . mz of the K'lh March .
HUE D EIISFIELD . Frost , "Williams , a . vd Jones—On Sunday evening the adjourntd meetii : g on the rase of" Frost , Williams , and Jones , took place in S .

Leader ' s motion , and * Committee was formed , with orders to meet on l"hnr = day night , ai : d if necessary to call a public meeting by placard .

Biuns ' s Newsroom , to make arrangements for the election oi Guardians of the l oc » r for the ensuing year ; and it appear ^ from all iuKnaution , that su ' th a chsnge will be made , as will insure a . better understanding betwixt the rate-payer and the Guardians . If liie out-townships do their diny in the election , no doub : they will be amply rewarded by electing persons to rcpr « e :, t them properly . Many of the place ? have already fumed Committees .
Coil * Laws . —A paragraph appeared ill the Mtmiry of bstnrday iast , that Dearly all the male adults in ihe townshi p of Fixby , had signed the petition for the repeal of the Corn Law * . If Mr . Baints would go and enquire for himself , hp would find that , instead of nearly ihe whole , very few have signed it themselves ; therefore , if it i 3 done , it ia a forgery , < t the statement is false . An address to Mr . Oa-tler is getting up in the township , and no doub : nearly the whvle of ihe tenantr ? w ^ ll tign it . Stjte ok Trade . —The greatest distress is now prevailing amongst the poor handloom wearers . In vhis neignb'jnrijood a large number oi the weavers
in the fancy waistcoat trade , are daily falling out ; and we undrrstan'd Fome of the principle masters , wno bare been giving moderate wag ^ s , have declared they must be uudtr the necessity of lowering the wages cf those whom they do employ ; as there are a number who have actuaHy reduced to nearly one-half . In the woollen branch , Messrs . - Starkies' aiid Co ., have lowered the wages of some of their men f rom seTen shillings to « hx shillings per : wtek . If ibis is lie way to pacify a dissatisfied people , g > on , and we shall soon be in the same staXe as the Irish labourers . Foreigners will goon become ' possessed of ali onr best ar ; is-jnF .

heckmoitdwikb . Mr . Gheigg ' s Treat to the Radicals op Heckmo > dv , ike . —On Monday eveniDg last , Mr . Greig , at the request of a few long silent Whigs , made his appearance to deliver a lecture on the Total Abolition of the Corn Law 3 . Mr . Greig gave a most determined Radical Lecture , in the strongest language , that no man ought to bo called upon to obey laws he had no voice in niaking , nor to bo taxed without his consent that it was never the intention of our Creator for one class of men to exercise lordly iutiuence over another class of men , and he called upon the industrious mU . ions in strong and energetic language , to submit no longer to be governed by the indolent landed aristocracy , at the
same time dec-bring that he had put his shoulder to the plough , with a fixed determination never to relax in his exertions till every base and unjust law was erased from the statute-book of this degraded and long-oppressed country ; that we must not only petition but demand , and that in a voice which cannot be misunderstood , and that if the people would come over and assist them they would , before that day twelve months , strike such terror into the hearts of those who now misgovern the country as would make tho two Houses of Parliament come down with trembling to the wishes of a determined people . Mr . G ., in a most talented manner , pointed out the abominaKh results of the New Poor Law ,
bad legislation having made the labourers paupers , the Pour Law was passed to make them starve , it was amusing to see the countenances of those whose visage 3 were drawn into every shape abominable to human eye , and would have formed fit subjects for the pencil of a Cruikshank . Air . G ., at the commencement , objected to having a chairman . Not having any knowledge of either a petition or resolution that would be proposed , he proceeded to deliver hit lecture , which occupied two hours . A vote of thanks was given to him , accompanied with cheora , for having advocated
the rights of the people , for which ihe Radicals so very earnestly contended ; after which , when part of tho people comprising tho meeting had withdrawn , not knowing but all waa over , those who remained elected a chairman and passed a petition for the immediate repeal of the Corn Law . Some of the leading Radicals did intend puttirg a few questions to Mr . G ., but as he came out so bold , and declaring himself a decided Radical , they thought it would be doubting his honesty and siucerity . The Whig 3 were quite panic-struck with hearing the speech of Mr . G ., and appeared much dissatisfied with his oratory .
KEXGHU 5 Y . Mercurial m Rejoicings . "—Acccording to the aeeount ia the last week ' s Mercury , the rc'joicing 3 for the Queen ' s marriage were celebrated through the land , with a buret of joy and gladness never before equalled on any former occasion . In looking over the crowds of places represented ap partaking of the folly , » small paragraph headed Keighley , deliberately informs the reader , that , at that place , nothing could exceed the joy of the inhabitaats on the happy occasion . Rich and poor are there represented as vicing with each other in testifying their gratitude for the royal favour which Is to add i' 30 , 000 a-year more to the burtLens of a starving
people . To such a pitch it appears was their thankfulness carried for that important kindness , that the day waa observed as a general holiday , by the shutting up of all the shops and factories ; beef and other provisions were distributed amongst the poor in all directions , and nothing was to be seen but parties of gormonds , eating and drinking to the honour of her Majesty and her paramour , while the reader was led to suppose that the ear 3 of all were deafened by the ringing of bells and the promenading of music . Now to show what some are eapable of wiiting , and others of printing to deceive their customers . We take the liberty of stating that nearly the whole account of the matter is a
downright falsehood , deliberately invented either to flatter or deceive . With regard to the mills liaving holiday , the fact is , that wita the exception of 0110 which stopped a little through some kind of accident , not a fcin&le factory or workshop rested a moment more than is usual on any other day . It is true that a general illumination with eastook place after dark ; but it was merely to enable tho hands employed in them to follow thetr work . We have attempted to find out who tiie fortunate characters were who got the beef , bat have not yet beea able , and we beliere never
shall do . The only part of the statement wo can make out to be true is , that the bells were rung as usual on all such occasion ? , by giving so much to the ringer * , and a portion of meal was given to some few poor people , while hundreds went without , but not a vestigo of any thing else was either seen , heard , \ xt tasted of . Our only object in making remarks is simply to prevent falsehood , and that the writer of the paragraph alluded to will seo the necessity of telling things as near the U'uth as possible .

The Tory party appointed Mr .

LOUIS PHILIPPE'S PKIVATJi FORTUNE . ( From if . de Cormenin ' s Pamphlet . ) " Money , money , money , for ever !" On the 7 th August , 1 S 30 , Louis Philippe made over to his children all his property , castles , houses , meadows , farms , rentes , forests , &c . Hisniaguiticentforesta have been rated » t 104 , 000 acres by tho iutendant or the civil list , and , reckoning tho value of each one at l . ooe franca , the value of the whole amounts to 104 , 600 , 000 francs , to be divided among his seven youngest children or their heirs , and this nuke * the landed property of
the Duke of Nemours amount to 15 , 000 , 000 franca . It is true that Louis Vhiliy > po vt-tains possession of the revenue of all his property , but this privilege lias been allowed bub on condition that he should make tho necessary settlements on his children at their marriage . Besides theso 15 . 000 , 00 " , will not the Duke of Nel luoura one day iiavc his share of the remainder of tho private domain , aud of the inheritance of his aunt , and of the forest of Uretcuil , which , ia worth 14 , uoo , i-00 franca ? With wealth lilco this , how can the private domain bo said to be insufficient ?
The ilinwters talk of precedents . Pray what ore theso precedents ? Do they moan the 1 , 00 O , 00 o francs granted to the Queen of the Belgians ? That was a wedding present , aud net a sutUomout .

Now , what is £ 30 , 000 to ent a figure at the most anstocnitical Conrt in the world , in the presence of the Dakes of Northumberland , Buckingham , Devonshire , Sutherland , Buccleuch , Newcastle , and other great ords , whose ertatea cover several equare miles , with thew divers castles and millions of revenue ? Pinv tell me how many of the cHizen gtntlemen who visit the Court of our Citizen Kinf possess estates by the square league ?—how many of them spend millions a year ?—how many pa ! aees do they inhabit yenrly?—how many servants and family portraits accompany them wherever they go ? and how many of their ladies sit on the ducal tabouret , with their pages behind ; and then tell me , if a Prince with 200 , 000 francs peraunum , could not keep up his dignity in the brilliant Court of his Citizen Majesty .
Do tuey mean the precedent of Prussia ? The King of Prussia , with a revenue of nine millions , that of fcte family included , will not allow tho marriage of his children to cost his psople a farthing . What word * cam express sufficient admiration for the paternal tenderness displayed by the civil list—a civil list of twenty-aix millions > Do they mean the precedent of Austria ? In Austria where the great nobles are so hanghty and « o proud of thoir feudal power , where the BchwarUenbertfs the ErterhazyB , and the Metteraiches fcre in possession of almost royal privileges , the princes of the imperial family live in re « pectable simplicity , and the expenae does not squeeze the people for the benefit of his family .

Wednesday Evening , Feb . \ 9 th , 1810 , Half-past Sis . Tbe partial success , as is supposed , that has attended Mr . Leader's notice of motion , rehitive to the case of Frost , Williams , and Jones , has excited & feeling of great and joyful anxiety in thousands who are watching the conduct of Parliament and Government on th ' s measure ; and tho resolution of the House to commit 1
nil tho " small fry ' in the caso of Stockdale and Hunsard , has completely turned tho tide of all ( who at iirst were in favour of the privilege being established ) in favour of the plaintiff and his attorney , who have threatened to bring actions in every county of the kingdom ; thus exposing all the Sheriffs to the cross-fire of the tlueen ' s Btnch and the House of Commons . It \ b now fully understood that a nissolution will be decided on as the only means of getting tho " liberal" majority out of the mess ; great preparations are baing made for a general election .
Poor Vincent is not to rest in his coll , without the dastardly Whig underlings having another fling at him ; two indictments against him in the county of Wilts for some cause , which we have been unable to ascertain , are to be tried st the General Quarter Sessions , or tho Aasizts next ensuing , when Vincent is to be brought from his dungeon by habeas corpus , to stanti his trill for the alleged oft ' oneo . Can the force of malignant pcrseculion go further ? A dreadful accident took pl ; vce on Sunday morning
last , at the oiSce of tho Observer . The engineer was correcting some defect in the machinery , -when the engine went on accidentally , and so frightfully mangled his arm , that immediate amputation was necessary . Th « poor fellow , though the bone of hi 3 ana was literally crushed by means of the cylinder , merely at first cried , " Oh , run for a cab , " which , however , having been procured , he shortly became insen sible , and is that state was conveyed to the New Hospital , attached to King ' s College , where his recovery is considered doubtful .
The metropolis has bten visited during the whole of the day , by a very heavy fall of snow , which has continued , nottcithstandivp her Majesty held a levee ; and which levee , notwithstanding the weather , has been most numerously attended . Citt News . — " What will be done to meet our acceptances in March ? " when the Exchequer Bills become due , is now the question . Funded—funded is the general and oft-hand answer : an answer ¦ which , being at onco tho easiest , and least calculated to afford immediate pressure , though entailing an irretrievable
addition to the annual taxation of the coantry , is looked upon as the most -natural mode that wiil suggest itself to a Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer . The working of the oracle between the Bank of England and the Government , »• to the £ 1 , 000 , 000 of New Exchequer Billi , which the former had taken solely on its own account , is viewed with disgust by the leviathans , who expected the chance of a nibble for tho contract . Generally speaking , business remains in statu quo ; or , if variations there be , it is at a shade lower quotation than on Saturday .
