FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF AUCKLAND. - -------- - The funeral of the late First Lord of the Admiralty took *se, es We already one ouriced,en Saturday forenoon. Shortly Wore 10 o'dadi at which hour it was appointed the funeral menden Mislead leave the Admiralty, Bear- Admiral James Deans Dandas , the Hon. Wm. Cowper, Capt. Milne, and the *other Lords of the Admiralty, Mr. Ward, M.P. end Capt. Hamilton, the Secretaries to the Admiralty, the principal clerks, and the barge master and aseistants in their liveries, connected with that department of the state, assembled in the inner hall and vestibule of the First Lord's official residence, and formed in line on each side through which the coffin and mourners passed on the way to the Lewes and mourning coaches. There were three mourning coaches and four; the first containing Lord Auckland (the Bishop of Sodor and Man), the Hon. Francis Eden, the brother and sister of the de ceased earl, smiths Hon.W. Osborne. The second contained Mr. A Coloae, Captain U Eden, and Captain Charles Eden. The third contained the chief domestics of the late earl's household. The private carriage of the deoessad peer brought up the rear. The funwal was as private as posable, which arose from the d. sire of the family that not the least display should take place on the mournful occasion. The Queen, the Queen Dowager, and the other members of the royal amity. the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the membersof the cabinet, made applications to be allowed to send their respective equipages, hot the offers of reopen were respect fully declined, as it was believed to be in accordance with the previously expressed wishes of the deceased. The cortege proceeded without Interruption to Lewisham, where the funeral procession was j -hied by the carriages of the Countess of Buckinghamshire and Lind Bexley. On reaching Beckenham Church, at half-pan 12 o ' cloc k, the body was resolved at the (harsh Will by the Bev A. Brandnun, the rector of Beckenham, who performed the service. The coffin having bath delimited in the family vault, situate in the aisle of the sacred edifice, the Wend set , vise was coecluded and the mouraen immediately after wards retired. • The usual respect to the memory of He late earl was oh. served in all the royal dockyards and naval establishments, agreeable to an order from the Board of Admiralty.

Mr. Robis on, the workhorse surviin states that the removal of the children to the woe ho ne, was in oppeeitioa te his opinion, and was effected at the s.ggee of Mr. Grainger and Mr. Chadwick, of th e B oar d of Health. At the mine time he felt that their removal from the pestilential atmo sphere of Tooting was aheolately nimeeseary, but that it ought to have been to an isolated building, somewhere in the country. On instituting further inquiries, a report was ob tained that s•vertl eases bad occurred amospt the children tielougiag to me H abort' union, removed troop Tooting on Friday, and new located in the Royal Free Hospital, and that three had terminated fatally. One or two ears are also reported frees the Cho so workhouse, from tie Wandsworth and Clapham anion, and St. Mary, Newington.

Luke's, Coelsea.-159, Sloane. street, Jan. 6. THE "GOLDEN LECTCRESHIP."—The Times of Thursday contradiewd the r: port that Dr. Dale intended to resign the goldon lectureship. W- b flews the faet to be that no resignation whatever is necessary. The office be comes vacant at a given day every year, and is renewed only on special application, which m a y b e made by any number of candidates. At the dinner of the Haberdasher.' Com pang, the other day, Dr. Dale stated, in an after dinner speech, that he intended, an soon as his year was out, to om t the cu..tomary application. Some one, we were told, staked him privately afterwards if he would accept the office provided the company elected him without toe application— when he was silent. We trust, howevir, that the Haber dashers' Company will not give so glaring a sanction to the principle of ecclesiastical pluralism, not to ray connorancy. To such a man as Dr. Dale such a reproach comes with double force. Apart from this, there is but too much of requited labour in the church to permit so excellent an oppor• utility to past of giving it its due reward. We observe among the list of candidates the names of persons possessed of even higher ecclesiastical incomes than Dr. D.le. Tu sleet such men would, indeed, be inconsistent with right, sense, and policy.—Aneu. Tux GOLD MANIA.—The rage for the gold mines of California prcce. ds with gigantic paces. Beside. uvula foe that quarter of the globe previously advertised, one was announced for this mecum Dared, only or Friday, and in the course of the day the advertiaar had no lewer than 24 applications for passages.

CLERICAL JOSTICEL—At the Quarter Sessions at Darkens held lest week tire* clergymen took the oaths and qualified to set u magistrates; among them the lion. end Rev. L. W. Den•nan. THE WEATHER AND PARKS.—Lsrge numbers of skaters visited the parks yesterday. In St. James's-park the tee was very dingerous and notwithstanding the cautions issued numbers crowded on ; the consequence was that the ice gave way, and 16 persons were immersed. They were. however, rescued and restored by means of the Society's men and the remedies at hand fa their tent. On the Serpentine also the ice was v.ry dang rims, the only practicable part being neat the brides ; five is men were on duty, and res cued several persons. In Kenaington.gardens on the Rntnd l'ond end Long Water the ice was tolerably firm, and there was a large assemblage et skaters, including the member, of the Skating Club, who Ind their tent erected on the north bank. Her, no casualty occurred. In the Regent's-perk, where also large numbers sasembled, between 16 and 28 persons were in the water at one time. FIRES IN BETUNAL.ORZEN.—Oa Saturday two fires broke nut in the parish of Bethnal green, both attended with a cor.sidtrable destitution of property. The first oc curred upon the prensime of Mr. Long, cabinet maker, Cburch•street Ihe flames origiaated in the workshops at the rear of the dwellmg-house, and on the arrival of the en• sines, not only the entire range of workshops and al they esatslaed were found in flames, but the fire had penetrated W be& windows of Mr. Long's private house, and the twaseer past of the furniture was in a blase. B. fore the fire was eztinguisked Mr. Long's workshops were totally de- Mroyso, the back window-sashes of the dwelling burned out, sad the furniture much damaged.—The second fire broke out atneon in a large store, about 60 feet long, belonging to Mr. Phillips, a corn chandler, in Ann•street, Pollard's row. The building was filled with hay, and very speedily the place wagon fire from end to end. The flames were, however, confined to that pertin of the property in which they ori ginated, and which was entirely burned down. Mr. Phillips was not insured, and will be a serious loser. INQUEST, SATURDAY.—ACCIDENT ON THE BLACK WALL RAILWAY. — Before Mr. W. Baker, coroner, at the King and Queen, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, as to the death of G. Penults, aged 28, a Greek sailor, who was killed or. Thuralay last, by falling from a carriage on the Blackwell Railway, owing (it was alleged) to the carriage door not b• ing properly fastened. From the evidence of Juan De Kaltizani and others, countrymen of the deceased, it appeared that on the arrival of the quarter put dimes o'clock down train at the Minorite Station of the Blsekwall Railway the deceased and several others got into a nevi. claw compartment of the Poplar carriage. The due woe closed after them, and the guard stated most positively the he properly fastened it ; en the other hand, the deceased's countrymen who were in the carriage allege otherwise, for on the train passing the ()malefic b• idge, between the Limekiln. and West India•dock Stations, the deceased placed his right elbow on the top of the carriage door. He had no sooner done so than the door flew open, and the deceased fell out of the carriage h. adforemoet, on to some iron railway plates, which were lying on the side of the line, with such violence as to shatter his scull to atoms, and the wheels of a carriage passed over his legs, mutilating them in a shocking manner.—Mr. Wightmen, on behalf of the com pany, proauced on. fertile carnage door haLdles, which shuts with a strong spring, and said that if the 'Gard had properly turned the handle it was impossible for the door to have wined itself, and it was the wish of the company that a most searching inve-tioation should be made to ascertain if the guard was blameable in the matter. He had been given to understand that a person who was a passenger in the same esireage could give some very important evidence : be was sat present, and he would suggest an adjournment.—The esroner said that it was very important for all parties that they should have that pence's testimony, and the inquiry was adjourned till Wednesday next. THE MAIL ROBBERY ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. EXETER, BATURDAT.—The prisoners charged with having, an new par's night, broken into the pest-oftice tender, while the train wee in motion, between Bristol and Bridgewater, were brought up this morning fur re-exantiu tion before the magistrates. The spacious Guildhall was densely crowded. The chairmen and secretaries of the Great Western, South Dena, Bristol and Exeter Railways were among those present—Christopher Arden, Esq., the mayor, presided, and on the bench were Dr. Miller, Mr. Barham, Mr. H. Hooper, Mr. Kenasway. Mr. Carew, Mr. Harris, Mr. D. B. Davy , Shatter, and other magistrates. —The prisoners on being placed et the bar, looked anxiously round, but bet rayed us further signs of emotion. Before the regular business commenced, the bench and other parties interested in the cue were engaged in a long conversation with the officers of police, who have been en gaged in inveshgring circus:tutees tending to elucidate the affair. The substance of this conversation may be thus stated : It appears that Poole, one of the prisonen in nu tody, and who was for some time in the service of the Great Western Company, had a year or two since become suddenly punned of considerable property, and had rat up an ele gant ettablishasest in Exeter, which he maintained in ao mean splendour. By what means he became poured of the property, and what were his avocations, were subjects which at ant naturally excited much gossip, but all interest in the matter eventually subsided. Since kis retirement Iran the Great Western Compuy, Poole has frequently ap peared in the streets of Exeter in singular eastame, in malty oases most grotesquely attired ; and It has been on many oc casions observed that he has travelled up the Has dressed in this style, at other times attired as a private gentleman, and sometimes in the garb of a meoheal . Three or four months lime, when dressed as a labouring man, he was found in what is technically called the locker" of a railway carriage (the place in which the parcels are deposited), but little or no suspicion wee excited, on account of the plausible excuse which the man offered for his conduct. This system of disguises he appear to have wavered in until his resent capture, in when he took the tickets for It WWI awl kit companion at the Exeter Railway, ow the WEST INDIA MAIL. We announced in our Saturday's impend= the arrival of the royal mail packet Thames, Captain T. Abbott, at Southampton, that morning, adding an outline of the nerve received by electric teleriph.

The first is the rite:don of the lona of 100,0001. from the imperial government on the terms on which it was o ff ered ; th e seift the appoint ment of a committee to report on the best mode of applying to the Britleh par lament for further compensation for the home entailed upon owners of property by the abolition of slal!rt. With respect to the first, on the 6th of December, on the motion of Mr. Ostrom, pursuant to notice, the house went into committee on the state of the isferd,when the hon. mem ber submitted the reenlutions, of which he had given notice, ie respect of the proffered loan by the British government. This led to a very lengthy debate. Ti.. chair having been resumed, and after several amenelaseats proposed, upon which division, took plate, the following resolution which had been proposed by Mr. Whimlock in committee, and adopted, was agreed te,! vie.:—" Beeolved—That the terms on which the leen is offered by the imperial perliament under the troviaions of the 11th Victoria, chap. 130, render it un aderlable for the house to accept of the proffered aid." In the sitting of the 7th, a menage was sent to the governor to commenleate Ilia resolution, tam which the home adjourned tall Monday, Dee 11. To Mani to the proceedi p of the 6th. Dr. Spalding, pursuant to notiee, moved for the appointment of a com mittee, to take cats consideration the best mode of applying to the British parliament for further compensation for the loom sustains by the °wain of property by the abolition of slavery, and Ida for compensation for injuries surtained by the unfair elm:petition to which the pre prieton of estates in this island had been exposed by the Sugar Duty Bill of 1846, upon which a loldisessaion arose; daring which two amendments o ff ered Mr. Osborn and Mr. W. W. Anderson were negaliy , and . the original motion wee carried. Committee: Marrs. Spalding, Smith, Moncrieffe, Hart, Wellwood, Andersen, Debora, Morales,Whitelock, and W. W. Anderson, with fall powers, and three to be a quorum. On motion of Mr. Smirk, it wee resolved that it be an in struction to the above committee to inquire into the balance of the compensation money remaining unpaid. On the sews day (6th Dec.), Mr . Jordan presented a re port from the retrenchment committee, showing the state of the pubic r. venue, the expenditure of the island, the pros pect of a diminished excloquer, and that for the two last years the .xpenditure had exceeded the revenue by nearly 60,000 i. each year, and concluded by stating that the com mittee saw no means of equalising the expenditure to the revenue of the island, but by a revision of its institutions ; and applied to the house for metro Zion. This led to a long ' discussion, which ended in the adoption of the two following restlutions:—By Mr. Davidson That 200 copies of the vs port, with the accompanying documents, be printed for public information. By Mr. Monerieffe To the effect, that the committee be forthwith instructed to consider the moos of equalising the expenditure with the revenue of the island. On the 6th of December, ea the miltion of Dt. Spalding, a series of resolution expressing regret for the death of Lord !horse Bernina, and sympathy with his %wily, wen tarani ray adopted by the House of Assembly. The same hon. member subsequently moved vomit of thanks to Lord Stanley, Sir John Pakingtos and Mr. Disraeli. At the re q uest of his colleagues, however, he withdrew them modest. Dr. Spald iag havirg stated, while withdrawing these motions, that Mr. Disraeli would be disappointed, Mr. Whitelock said, " Be thought the hen. member had sakes the wrong war to de the thing. It Mr. Disraeli had expend the proaredinp vit Lied Grey, and the hon. member wished to take any notice of it, the beat way would be to propose a vote of cen sus upon that noblemen ; it would be far preferable than a vote of thanks to Mr. Disraeli, who had not yet had his prim offered him."

It was asked whether Poole was the peed of the train on that occasion, and after some inquiry it was ascertained that be was not then so segued, but that the duty was performed by one of his very lamella friends. It would, however, be in the highest degree unfair to hint anything like suspicion against the path of the train on the °cation of the robbery alluded to; and we therefore abstain tram publishing various ro ports buries upon the matter, which 'throughout the town and district are industriotrily, and somewhat con fi dently, circulated. Opinio ns h ave been hazarded in various quar ters relative to the diepeal of the property which the robbers extracted front the Post-offiee tender. 8 on. have thought that the two sea slipped away frost the train whets it began to sleeken its speed on arriving near to the Bristol teatime, while others have conjectured that on reach ine Bristol they delivered up their tickets, peeled mums peeted through the station, and, secreted the property in the town. These conjectures do not appear to be based upon any solid foundation, kr the investigations which horebeen made , by the police favour tie presumption that on the arrival of the train at Bristol the rubbers handed their booty to accom plices, who were waiting for them on the station, and that the receivers entered the train and proceeded on their way to London, while the robbers made their way into Bristol, se cure that if apprehended on suspicion they had effectually got rid of all evidence of their guilt. It would also seem that after waiting some time in Bristol, Poole and his confederate returned to the station, in order to catch the " down mail train," on which they attempted the second daring exploit, which welted in their apprehension at Bridgewater. Such is the substance of the revelations made by the police and others during tueir conversation with the magistrates. The clerk of the court opened the more formal proceedings by addressing the prisoners: What is your name ? Henry Poole —What is your name (addressing the other prisoner)? I decline to give m name ; at least, for the present. y Mr. W. Ps stock , brother of the solicitor tape Gent gal Pt:M alice, said that the act under which the pew nen were charged made the stealing of letters front a post bag liable to trans portation for life. Ou the evening of the Ist of January the guard Barrett received from the Post-office • large number of ban of letters, which he conveyed to the Great Western Railway at Paddington. They were conveyed quite safe to Bristol, but on their arriving a t Bridgewater it was found that the bags had been broken open. He immediately male search in the ether carriages, and the two prisonen were found in a first class carnage. Under the seat where the primmer Poole was tilting a number of registered and unre el/tend letters were found. Mr. B. H. A. Fisher, of London, • clerk in the d de partment of the Post-office, deposed, that on the evening of the lot he made up the Tavistock and Truro bags. In one of those bags, the Tevisteck, there was a registered letter. (Letter produced. It was addressed, "H. P. Dwarria, lye Rectory, near Cillington.") Letters for Callington are put into the Tavistock bag. Li the Truro there wee also a re gistered letter, it was 'Unwed Rev. J. Harding. Both the letters bore the inland stamp of that night. After the letters were put into the bags the latter were tied and sealed with wax in witness's presence. The Teri/lock beg was given to Mr. Collinson, another clerk in the office. The Truro bag was put into the mail cart. Mr. J. Cellinson, of London, was next examined : I am a clerk in the inlaad department of the General Pod-office, London. Oa Monday evening I made up the Plymouth post bag. In that bag I placed two registered letters, ad dressed to Mr. J. A. Rosen, 17, George street, Plymouth, and Mr. Robert Morris, Bank of England Branch, Ply mouth. I forwarded the usual notice* to the pothunter concerning thi in. They are the same u thou produced. I raw that the letters were duly placed in the mail-bag. They bore the inland date stamp of the let inst. The Plymouth bag I saw sealed and tied up with string, and it was token out to the mail guard. reentries other letters addressed to Plymouth not registered. I find amongst the letters produced six of them bearing the inland stamp of the lot of January. In regular course those letters would be placed by me an the Plymouth bag. They were addressed as knows :—C. Holden, Req., Madogan, near Plinauth ; Dr. Cameron, Harrow bridge, near Plymouth ; Mr. W. W. Snell, Octagon, Ply mouth; Capt. Ullman, Plymouth; Mr John Tree, Devil and-Corner Bank, Plymouth; Mr. Wallis, Parkstreet, Plymouth. I also made up the mail bag for Davenport. I fit.d amoogat the letters produced two addition' to pesos at Devonport. One to Mr. Brandil, 49, Fore-street, Devon. port ; the ether to Mr. W. C. Cocks, 89, Fore-street, Devon port. They bear the inland date stamp of the evening of the Ist. They would, in regular course, be placed in the Devon port beg. After the letters were deo:eked in the Devonport batit was sealed and tied in my presence. and Barrett was then called: I live at 1, Mary-street, Davenport. and am a mail guard regularly employed in her Majesty's pat-of e. I was the guard to this night down mad train to Davenport on the Ist. Oa that night !received at the General Post-effice the Truro and Penzance sacks, the London end Plymouth sacks, and the Landon Devonpurt bag. I accompanied the bag s to the Paddington terminus of the Great Western lit silway, and they were deposited in the post-office tender. I rode with the bags to the railway station at Bristol. Between Chippsnham and Bath I ar ranged the bags. The Plymouth bag was on the right-hand aide of the carriage. The Davenport on. was under the Plemnith. The Truro and Pumice beg was on the left hand aide. Arrived at Bristol 10 minutes pad 1, and I there took out three bags. I put In the Taunton and Exeter bag, and I then got out of the post-office tender, and locked the doer. I left the big. as I had placed them, and they were in the same state me when I received them in L mclon. When I left the tender at Bristol I took with me sixteen bags into the travelling poet-office van. Oa leaving Bristol the train consisted of two second clan wriages next to the engine teader, next the travelling posy( axe then the post-office tender, and next a first-clue carriage. I rods in the travel lieg There was no gaud in the poet-office yen. After leaving Bristol, the first station we stopped at was Bridgewater. I then went to the poet-office tender, and I observed my bags had We misplaced. The Plymouth bag had been shifted, and, on examining it, I found it had been cut open. It was tied with a piece of string, but not sealed. I then left the tender, and went to the travelling poet-office, and made a communication to Mr. Buechel, the poet-office clerk. Mr. Buechel accompanied me into the tender. He got out, and Mr. Silk, another clerk, came. We looked at the Davenport bag. It had been opened and tied again, The begs were re-tied with very small string, not the same as tied at the Post.effice. I left Mr. Silk in charge of the tender, and I then walked down to the Brat-class swims. In the first compartment I saw a gen tleman lying down. The next body was the ladies' naive. I did net see any one is that. In the third com partment the blinds were so clowly drawn down that I could not see the inside. I then went to the fourth compartment, and saw another gentleman lying down asleep. I called the guards and policeman. Mr. Silk went cut. He came back and gave me two pieces of at-log. I produce them. I then went upon the platform, acclaim two men sitting in the divi sion nearest the platform. They were the prisoners at the bar. In the other division was Mr. Andrews, who is present. A door divided then. pude were s desk, with • collar nearly up to his eye', and bad a broad-brimmed bat on. He hut a handkerchief up to hie lace. The other prisoner had a Chesterfield coat on. I made a communication to Mr. Barlow, a director, who we. travelling in the ladies' car ' rime. Mr. Barlow came up to the door, and called out loudly three times, " Poole," but got no answer. Poole ap peared to be asleep. Mr. Barlow shook Poole's hat, but still nenswer was given. Mr. Barlow then took up his hat, and said," Alt Poole, you are very sleepy to-night," Mr. Barlow then left the door. Rhynard kept in the carriage. Gibbons, the superintendent of the Plymouth police, came up and an. flounced himself to be a police officer. I told Gibbons what had happened in the Post.office van, and that it must be them (the prisoners), as it could only have been done by persons from the first-class carriage. Neither of them made any reply. Gibbous and Rhynard got into the carriage. We then went on to Exeter, and the pri soners were removed into the superintendent's room. I went in. Whilst there something was brought into the room. It was a shawl, and was examined by Mr. Silk ; it contained a number of registered letters and parcels. I then pro. ' seeded on to Plymouth. When I reached the Plymouth Post-office I saw the Plymouth bag opened. The Tavistock was inside it. It had been opened, and was tied up with different 'bins to that used by the post-office. IX had no seal—. I have Inown Poole about four or five years. Re was a guard in the employ of the Great Western Railway Com pany. He was afterwards guard of the mail pains of Sun days. I fasten the post-office tender with a key similar to those used by the company's servants. Poole left the service of the mammy about eight or nice months ago. When he was in this employ, the lamps is the poet-office van were fixed by the side of the door-way on the inside. I have made a trial to entertain deny one could pass from the first clam car riage to the post-ofilee tender. I did so yesterday (Friday )morn- Lug, on the down mail train, between Bristol and Bridge water. I proceeded from the door of the third compart ment of the first-class amag., along the step, then over the begin of the carriage and We tender, taking hold of the handles of the parcels department, on to the step of the Poet.offies tender. I walked along the step, and lifted the window up with my nail, and then got is. I did this while the train was in motion. I produce three parcels of string the first 'piece I get from the sacks and bags that had been opened, and retied with this string. Mr. Burchel and Mr. Silk were present when I removed it. The second piece was riven to me at Exeter either by Thomas the guard, or Williams, the policeman. The third piece I got frost some person I do sot know is the superintendent's room, at Butler. The second pies* I should my by appear saes was the mem es had been removed from the mail-bags whoa re-tied. It is very dill rat to that need by the Post- Ales. I picked up other pieces of string in the tender, which is the same as used in tying up the mails at the Post. oiliest. It has sealiar wax epos it. I have some pieces of wax which I picked up In the Peet-oillos tender at Exeter. Joseph Gibbous, superintendent of the Bridgewater pollee, was next called : I was a groomer by the down mail train on the night of the Ist inst. On arriving at Bridgewater I was informed by Rhymed and Barrett that the mail bags had been robbed. I entered the third compartment of the first clue carriage, and saw the two prisoners in one division, and IL,. Andrews in the other. I told the prisoners that they must consider themselves in custody on suspicion of stealiag the Poet-office begs. They bah replied I know ' tithing about it" I asked Poole if he knew the other man. He replied " No." The other prisoner said "I am a respectable man, and have fifty , men in my employ." I said " I think I have seen your face. ' He said "No no, you have sot. lam a respectable man." Linked hini ' his name. He made ao answer. I peoceeed on to Exeter with them. While we wee* going along likynard, the policeman, gave me a nocket-book. I produce it. I examined it. It contains a 64 city of Exeter bank note, dated Feb. 11, 1848, No 928. In the pocketbook I found • pair of mouraches, some thread, and a piece of string; also a gold chain aad a key. On arriving at the Exeter railway station the prisoners were removed. I searched the other prisoner, and found a gold watch and chain, maker's name, Newton, London, No. lamrraving on the back, 0 M. in capitals, gold pin, ring, and 11. Bt. Bd. I received two pieces of crape from Rhyeard, which I produce (The crepe was made op in the shape of two caps with a tall to cover the face. The ofilosr put them on, and as a disguise they were complete.) I had from Rhynard a piece of we: candle. Poole gave me a knife engraved. Shoed/ afterwards a bundle was brought into the waiting-room at Exeter. It was opened, and it con tained thirteen packages. I produce them. When they ware produced the person who braught them sail, " There they are ; I found them under the s ea t where they wer. sit ting." Poole said, " That Bridgewater policeman should be here now ; he searched the carriage, and why were they net felted the n?" I said, " You shall see him presently. He said, " Wny, you saw the car ri age searched ; did n 't y ou put the light down ?" I reolied, " I did not see the carriage searched." Buechel and Silk were present. The packages were then marked. The prisoners were then removed to the Guildhall at Exeter, charged with having rubbed the mail. Joseph Rhynard, a :card In the service of the Great Western Company, was next swere—On the night of the Ist inst. I was guard to the down mail train. At the Exeter I station at Bristol I saw the two prisoners on the platform,' just before the train started. I let a passenger into the first compartment next the tender of the first clam carriage. I heid the door open for the two prisoners to enter. f hey looked in, but did not go in. They meet to the third com partment. There was a gentleman in the division next to the platform, Mr. Andrews. When I opened the door they seemed to hesitate going in. They did g„ in. I urged them to go, and complained of their delay. Tney went in. That was about halt-past one en the 2nd. Tne next place we stopped at was Bridgewater, and there the mail-guard made a communication to me. I went to the post office tender, and saw the bags scattered on the floor. I saw en the floor pieces of string and sealing wax. I gave them to Barrett. I then went to Mr. Barlow, who was in the train, and made a communication to him. I went to the com.ortnient where these men were. I opened the dour, and feud the prisoners seated inside. I asked them to allow me to took at their tickets. I did so. They were tram Bristol to Exeter. Witness was the first person who entered that compartment after the train stopped. Both the prisoners were awake. Came out and shut the door, and shortly after re urned and found the door open and Mr. Barlow there. The carriage was not searched by witness or in his presence. He got into the car riage and the prisoner were separated. He took the one who refused to give his name into the further compartment with on intention of searching him, but found the place top narrow. Policeman Williams and Mr. Gibbon , ' got into the carriage and the train pc ceeded towards Exeter. He knew Poole and recooaised him at Bridgewater. Did not know it was him at Bristol, on account of his being dressed rather peculiar. On going along t 'wards Exeter witness asked Poole what train he went to Bristol by. lie said he went ep by the third class. It was an early train ; it was Jim Clerks's train. Ile is the man that goes with the early third class train. Witness asked him if he knew the other man, or w°ether they both went up tog. ther, but he said he had no knowledge whatever of the other. The other pri soner replied ; " I know you, I saw you the other day, and I knew you twelve months ago." This was said to Poole Poole asked how it was the mail guard did not rile in the mail carriage, meaning the Poet-office tender ; he always understood he rode in it. Witness searched the pockets of the division where the prisoners sat at Bridgewater, and found the two pit ees of crape and a piece of wax candle, pro duced by Mr. Gibbons, into whose custody he gave them. As they were going along witness put his hand under Poole's cloak, and in the pocket of it found a pocket-book, which was the one produced by Mr. Gibbons. He also found several pieces of sealing wax in Poole's pocket, which be gave to Mr. Gibb ins. The coat the other prisoner had on could be worn either aide; it was dark outside, but he Gould not tell the colour of the inside. C. Williams, policeman on the Groat Western Railway at Bridgewater. saw the two prisoners in a first-class carriage, on the arrival of the mail-train on the let inst. He got into the carriage and came to Exeter with them. Last within. Gibbons, and the prisoners, gut up, on the arrival of the train at Exeter, leaving him and Mr. Andrews ;iu the car riage, which was then searched. Thomas, the undo. gaud, came to the carriage, and some one else stood at the door. Saw Thomas search it and find a large bundle and h the seat where Poole sat. No one put any thug in the car riage alter the prisoners I-ft it. J. Andrews, solicitor, of Modbury, Wft. a passerger from Paddington to Plymouth by the down mail train on the night of the lit Jan. and rode in the first-clus carriage. Just before the train started from Bristol 'two persons entered the car riage ; he knew now that the prisoners were the two persons. They did not remain in the compartment with him, but went thronah by the other division, closed the door, and pulled down the blind. When they first got into the carriage they dragged in • piece of twine, which was left on thl floor at witness's feet. Witness coned it up and found part of it abet in at the other door. He broke it and threw it on the floor. On arriving at Bridgewater his attention was called to something that had occurred. Part of the cartage was par tially searched, but no one examined under the seats. Tie parties before named got into the carriage and proceeded to Exeter, where they all got out with the exception of him and Williams. Witness saw a man search 'the carriage and pall a bundle from under the seat. Witness did nut leave the carriage between Bristol and Exeter. J. Thomas, a guard on the Great Western Railway, tra velled by the down mail train on the night of the Ist Jar.. as under guard. He went to a tint-clam carriage at Bridge water, and saw the two prisoners in it. He saw a piece of string adhering to the heel of Poole's boot ; he took it off and gave it to Mr. Silk. Did not !patine the carriage par tieululy at that time. He recognised l'oole on entering the carriage, and said to the porter " that's Harry Poole." On his arrival at Exeter, witness went to the waiting-room with the prisoners, and afterwards searched the carriage, under the seat of which he found a bundle, containing letters and small parcels. He opened one corner of the handkerchief and saw some registered letters. Underneath the same seat and near the bundle he found an oil case cap. On the arrival of the train at Lairs, he again searched the carriage with a man employed at the station, and under the seat opposite where Poole wu sitting, and where the other prisoner had been sitting, he found a hook, used in going from one car riage to another, to hold on by. H. Clarice superiatendent at the Taunton Railway Sts tine,corroborated this witness's evidence. H. C. Silk, a clerk in the travelling post-office between Exeter and Bris tol, travelled by the down mail train on the night of the lit January, accompanied by Mr. Borchelt. Barrett rode with them, hut on arriving at Bridgewater he got out ; he shortly retuned, and Harebell and witness got out and went to the poet-office tender. Witness observed the mail bags strewed about the fl ear and greatly disarranged. He naticed the Devenport bag, which was tied up with a different string and not sealed. He examined the parcels and letters pr's. dined, and said they were the same as were found under the seat of the carriage, he having marked them with his initials. George Harebell, ale, a clerk in the travelling Post-office between Bristol and Exeter, accompanied the last witness by the down mail train on the Ist January. He made a list of the letters and parcels in the bundle, and put his initials to them. He re-tied the bags that had been opened, and sealed them with the official seal. OiPlimsut7ll,Said he was agent to the Bank of England Branch at Plymouth. The pa-let pro duced was ordered to him. He opened it, and found it to contain the letters of administration of a will in the estate of I Thomas Call, Esq., demised. The packet was sent from the Bank of England. The witness marked it for the purpose of identification. . . Mr. Pass, of Plymouth, goldsmith, said the letter pro duced belonged to him. It contained three diamond no is e, inclosed in a small boa.

Samuel Orandell, Devonport, jeweller, said the packet produced was addressed to him ; it contained a hoc, in which was inclosed a silver watch case value 21., six hair ring gold mounts, and two gold studs. Mr. Charles Cox, Devonport, optician, said his package contained a boxinciceing a respirator of the value of thirty shillings. The other parcels were not opened. James Ashton, a policeman at the Stemmas station of the South Deem Railway said on Monday evening about a quarter before eight o'clock two 1 arsons came to the Starcroes station for two first-clan tickets to Bristol by the up mail train. Witness issued two tickets to one of them, who bad a drab scarf or shawl round his neck. He pain for both tickets. He believed the prisoner Poole was the man who took the tickets. John Fisher, policeman on the Great Western Railway at Bristol, recollected the up mail train arriving on the let of January. Witness collected the tickets. There were but two first class and one second. He produced the two first class tickets, which were from Stumm to Bristol. He did not see any one come out of the carriage, but the parties came up to him and presented the tickets. It was about Eve mutes to twelve and ten minutes after railway time. The fist ticket presented was by a man wearing a large cloak, a green telt Jim Crow hat, and a moustache. The man that presented the other first class ticket wore a dark coat, he did not notice anything particular in his dress. They had no luggage. The man who wore a moustache put his finger and thumb to his upper lips for the pur pose, apparently, of priming down the moustache. Was on duty on the platform at the same station when the down mail arrived. Put a gentleman in the first compartment of the fist-elan carriage. When in the set of shutting the door, the prisoner without a name came from behind one of the pillars, and witness 'eked if he was going on. He out his head in the doorway, and seeing the gentleman acid " No, no," and turned away. Witness went on to the third com , paitmetit, and was in the act of opening the door, when ithysard ease ap and said, " Oeutliea, you're delaying the time, awn your tickets, please . " The prisoner with oat a name made use of the weeds We prefer this," meth. rag the thizo compartment, and he immediately stepped is, followed by another au, whom he believed to be Poole. He was mists one of them was the same as arrived by the up mad. BUMnel Wilton, clerk at the Bristol Railway station, issued tickets for the down mail on the morning of the 2nd inst. Issued two for Exeter, first class ; gave them to the prisoner without a name; he paid for both. Witness saw Poole stand,ng at the doorway at the time.

He saw them look into the first compartment of the first-ems curiae" but did sot enter; they went to the third compartment an d got i n. O ne of them wore* dark coloured jim crow hat, but he could not see his features. The other wore a dark cost and hat. A cloak was produced and was similar to that worn by one of the men._ Jane Cramp, barmaid at the Talbot Inn, Bristol, recol lected on the night of the Ist of January two men coming to their howl- about 10 or 20 minutes after 12. They went Into the bar, and called for two glasses of brandy and water. Witness served them sad showed them into an adjoining room. She should know the man again. She could not swear so w. 11 to Poole, but the ether she was positive to. He drrised in a Chesterfield and hat. The other wore a dark cloak, full round, with a stand-up collar, similar to the one produced. He had on a low.crowned hat, with the, wide brims drawn over hie face, to conceal his features. When they went into the house, the one with the cloak appeared to be carrying something under it. They remained in the house until 1 o'clock, when they went to the bar, paid for what they had, and departed. They left at 1 o'clock Lou. doe fine.

It was not easy to foresee the precise conclusion to which the proceedings in Mr. Duffy's case were brought yesterday. Although, so far as some por tion of the demurrer, it was held good, yet the formal judgment of the court overruled it. rho court decided with the crown, but arranged that the order should be drawn up in such a manner as to prevent any por tion of the publications subsequent to the 3rd of June being off red in evidence against Mr. Duffy. The Attorney-General being then asked what step he next proposed to take, called upon the court for ; judgment on each of the coun t s o f the indictment. '1 his course took Mr. Duffy's counsel, and the court too, somewhat by surprise, for Mr. Justice Perrin declared he was not prepared then to pronounce judgment. His brother Richards was of a similar mind. It was plain, however, from the tone of the court, and confirmed by a significant gesture of Mr. Justice Perrin towards Mr. Holmes, that their minds were disposed to deciue 'in the legality of the indictment, and to comply with the demand of the Attu ney•Geueral. 'the crown would seem to be very well assured as to the law, ;not only upon this point of the demurrer, but also as regards the other questions raised in the course of the proceedings, for as this course would give him a conviction on purely legal grounds ate e—without the intervention of a jury, or a consideration of evidence, it is hardly to he sup posed that he should withheld his assent to the issuing of a writ of error. It is not iratiossible that the learned Attorney ie forced to hazard something in this case. First, he cannot, after the case has pro. seeded so far, apply to the court either to quash the indictment, or allow him to enter a not. pros. Secondly, because Mr. Duffy has presented his petilon fur a trial at this commistoon, to which of right he is entitled; and, finally, because the articles which the judgment of the court has excluded are pis cisely those on which the crown would rely, both is sustaining the intents charged, and leading a jury to a conviction. Finally, the crown elected to take until Thursday next to cunvider before they would present their n:timatum to the court, and, meantime, their lordships recommended some communication between counsel on both sides. Mr. Duffy's legal advisers are sanguine on the point that judgment cannot be given before trial, more especially as the demurrer, though ruled against them, h .N eventuated in a revision of the indictment. Mr. Henry Grattan, " as Senior Representative," has addressed a card to the Irish members, recom mending a. meeting of their body previous to the an nembhug of Parliament, and with great modesty u&•ring his own services " to contribute to the public good by assisting at it." This is a mode of offering for a lead* rehip rather decided, and is not at all likely to be effectual. The mantle of the late Mr. O'Connell is too wide for the shoulders of Henry Grattan. A new weekly paper has been started in Dublin, called " The Irishman." Tue OBANO6 SOCIRTY.—A sign4leant indication of the amount of toleration which the brotherhood of orangelaud will permit the brethren to exercise has just beets mani fested. Col. Blacker, who, it will be recollected, was re moved from the commission of the peace in Lord Normanby's vice-royalty, has just been expelled the Orange society. klis removal from the magistracy arose in this way. At a period when the executive was publicly discountenancing what are called Orange demons rations, Colonel Blacker per mitted them to parade in all their paraphernalia upon his lawn, on one of their anniversaries. The colonel himself, meantime, stood at his window looking out .in the procession, while Mrs. Blacker and other members of his family, standing beside him, wore orange cockades and sashes. The cause of his recent expulsion from a body in which he had the position of, I believe, grand muter of Armagh, was caused by his having subscribed to pay off a debt owing upon a catholic chapel adjoining his own estates, and to which several of his catholic tenantry resort to per form their religious duties. Perhaps it was not inappropriate. in suon a case, that his expulaiou should Le moved by a cler gyman of the established church.

JENNY LIND AND THE LIVERPOOL HOSPITAL.—On Saturday, at two o'clock, one of the most brilliant audiences ever assembled in Liverpool graced the Amphitheatre with their presence. en the occasion of Jenny Lind's concert in aid of the enlargement of the Southern and Toxteth Hospi tal. All the available space of the theatre being secured by the holders of tickets, these orders gam rose to a premium, and, on Friday, as much as 21. was frequently offend oa 'Change and in other places, for the stall and lox admissions, which were first purchased at a guinea.

CASE OF CHOLERA IN MANCHESTER.— A came of cholera is Elizabeth.strcet, Manchester, terminated fatally on Saturday, and as this is a locality much inferior, in a same tary point of view, to that where a former case occurred, the greater fears are entertained that the epidemic is likely to remain in the city.
