Jr sums by no means improbable that the pro ceedings in Lunacy may do that for Mr. Witco nsn's estate which the wretched youth, with all his wild extravaganoe. has Si yet failed toaccom- plish. The necessary expenses of the investigation have been variously computed, and, according to some, the estimate touches the enormous sum of 611,04)01., which must come out of the estate. The estimate is probably exaggerated; but at all events it is utterly impossible to occupy the valuable tine . . of some half-dozen of the bat counsel at the bar for • month, and to collect together hundreds of witnesses, many of them of the most expensive de scription, except at very serious cost. If, indeed, it were really necessary, in order to ascertain the mental condition of Mr. WINDHAM, to tmdertaks these tedious pro ceedings, and to incur these gigantic costs, sub mission would be the only remedy. The difficulty of the inquiry, and the imperfection of human institutions would be a decent consolation. But to those who have watched the WINDHAII case, Or who know anything of the ordinary mode in which judicial investigations are conducted, it has long been abundantly obvious that all the ordinary principles upon which such investigations ought to be conducted, have in this case been utterly ignored. It would be wrong to say that these principles have been wilfully neglected by the Court. But in the conduct of judicial investigations discre tion and a firm will are not lees essential to the presiding magistrate than technical knowledge. It needs but a sentence or two to demonstrate that the protracted length of this inquiry is traceable not to the peculiar mode which has been appointed foe the purpose, but to the mismanagement of those whose duty it is to carry the law into effect. Even as matters now stand there is scarcely any single individual who has not made up his mind upon the subject. Whatever the Master or the Jury may think, the public thoroughly understand the distinction between vice and folly or extrava gance and insanity, and no doubt they have formed a very clear opinion as to which of these two classes Mr. WINDHAM'S actions belong. But if they still have any doubts upon the subject they might readily be set at rest by a very simple process. Consider for a moment the nature of this in quiry. As a preliminary step it was necessary to satisfy the Loans Jcsricus in Chancery that there was a prima facie case against Mr. Wier:owe. Accordingly General WINDHAM, who is the uncle and guardian of the young man, along with several others, stated certain facts to the LORDS Jenne's, and petitioned them to grant a commission for the purpose of inquiring whether Mr. Wrwra•st was or was not of unsound mind, and by reason of such unsound ness of mind unable to manage his property. After considerable hesitation, Lord Justice Ksionr Ilaucz and Lord Justice TOMMIE granted the com mission, and Mr. SAMUILL WARRIN and • Jury consisting of 23 gentlemen have been sitting for about a month, hearing evidence upon the question which has been submitted to them. Now, if any such question were submitted to any ordinary person, his course would be obvious. Naturally the first thing he would do would be to call upon the persons who had started the question. Every human creature is to be assumed to be sane, and therefore Shy impartial person required to decide upon the sanity of • fellow-citizen would of course Insist upon hearing the facts alleged against his sanity, and upon see ing and cross-examining the persons who made the statements. If General WINDHAM and the other petitioners had made no allegations against Mr. Winnsam, the commission never would have been granted. The foundation of the whole proceedings rests upon their evidence. It is obvious, there fore, that they ought to be produced before Mr. W•RREN and the Jury, In order to repeat the story which they have already told to the Loans J rirrt. r.. It is • cardinal and common-sense rule of law that, in order to prove a fact, the beet evidence should be the first produced. The evi- THE Ex!

Accordingly, it was the obvious duty of Mr. DIPLOMATIC DESPATCH OF THE ITALIAN SAMORL WARREN to insist upon the production GOVENMET. and actual presence of General WINDHAM and We have received a copy of a circular despatch, the other petitioners in the witness-box.

There is a burp party of able miners, led by some of the beat min in the country, ready to work their way into the mine as soon as the communication is opened with the engine drift. The bodies of the five man killed on Thursday morning were brought to the bank last night, and removed to their house*. Numbers of pitmen and pitied' have been watch. ing the operations at the colliery all night. The officials at the pit are nearly worn out by their exertions. Mr. Foster, with Mr. Atkinson, the government inspector from Dur ham, and other experienced viewers, arrived at the pit this morning. There is no more fear of a fell of stone, and it is confidently hoped that before many hours are past we shall know the condition of the poor fellows buried alive.

NEWCASTLE, MONDAY, 7 P.r, The operations worasry for clearing the shaft are pro. mewing in what is immorally considered a satisfactory man. ner. Smoke has been observed corning through the rubbish, which is suppoesd to indicate that the men have made a fire. If that surmise be correct, it may be inferred both that they have a sufficiency of air, and also that they have taken means to secure themselves from starvation by killing and cooking for food some of the horses. In the course of the moving, measures were taken to secure the stability of the sides of the shaft, to prevent any further falls of stone. So far, these have proved successful, no more falls having occurred, and consequently the men have been enabled to direct their sloth to the removal of the original danis. During the forenoon a considerable number of heavy beams were brought away, and up to the time of writing very satisfactory progress continued to be made. Under the able direction of Dr. Davison, a medical staff has been or. pnised, and kept on the spot during the day, ready to render what assistance might be necessary in case of the men being reached. In a school-room not far from the pit % a large quantity of hot tea bas been prepared ready to be sent down as soon se • commuaication hes been estab lished, likewise a large quantity of soap, jelly, and potted meat and bread, the ides being that whenever the men are reached a gill of hot tea shall be sent down to each of them to begin with, then a spoonful each al meat jelly, and finally some bread and potted meat, and it will only be after that has been administered, and the ma so far restored that they will be brought to the surhse.

It was elated in the report of the proceedings at the Mandon-homm, yesterday, that two men bad been ap. pretended at Birmingham on suspicion of being concerned in the extensive conspiracy to defraud the Imperial Bank of Russia ; and it appears from what has since been die. covered by Brett and Scott, the two detective oftioers em ployed in the cam, that the ramileations of the plot ars of the most extraordinary and widely.epread character. The names of the two prisoners taken into custody at Mr. mingham are Abraham Rosenberg and Kauffman Weber. Upon their being apprehended, forged one rouble sale. were found in their possession, and this will be the probe charge that will be at present made against them. At the house of Weber, who ostensibly carried on the budges' of a tailor at Birmingham, there was found a genuine =a ramble note which had been out and marked ins peculiar imanmswoall from the inquiries made by the detectives, they direoverwitid this identical not* had been taken to Mr. Corder, an ma graver at Birmingham, by one of the prisoners, who wished to have • plate engraved from it. Mr. Corder kept the note for • short time, but he very prudently refused to do whey wag required of him, but before he handed the note to then party who brought it to him he took the pre. canton to mark it in the way described, so that be was enabled at once to identify it. It would seam that the parties engaged in this nefsdogs ethane endeavoured to obtain at Birmingham hew' plates for engraving oar, five, ten, twenty-five, end fifty-rouble notes, but from what bee already trampled*: would seem that they only succeeded in obleinies pass of a plate for engraving one rouble miss. red Ihs officers brought sway with them three lithographic Wags two engraved platen, upon one of which there was the " I pro. miss to gay " portion of • Russian bank note, and • variety of other articles calculated to forward the intended fraud.
