SHOOTING AT THE QUEEN. After her Majesty's return from the Drawing-room at St. Jean's Palace as Saturday, she left Buckingham Palace at haltpast b o'clock, for an airing in aa open landau, accompanied by Yajor•Oeneral Wemyea, oa horseback, no no. being with ber ia the anises but the royal children. The Priam Albert rode oat on horseback with his venal attendants. Soot after 6 o'clock her Majesty retained, and alto? Preinft through the Triumphal Arch, had promoded a short disease* sloop Constitstios•hill, when, jolt at the tarn of the road, sad class to the spot where Gerd shot at Mr formerly, a pistol was And by at individutl who steed as the foot path about a yard cm the roadside cubs rafts of the Green park. Her likriNy stood up for a stomost in the carriage, and looked at the smallest, bat Gomel Weems ordered the postillions to drive on, which they did Tepidly. Price, Albert hod jast previously ridden into the pates of Beek- Make= palace, and was es toe steps when the Gams arrived. The Prise, was musk wised, end sublimed, " Thank God, you are sate." Maimlas the serendrol who bad discharged the pistol was immediately seized by two °Nitres who were standing near him, One of the park keepers, named George, hutantly went to their assistance, as did also police constable Tokeby, A 65, who was within the rail ings re of the O's-peek, and clambered over. A gentleman, about My years of age, instantly the sea was secured, went up to bun, and raising W let was on the point of inflicting summary punishment =wee prisoner, but his arm was seized in Major- Wimps, who prevented hint from eking so, thearowd at the time calling out, " Kill him at once ; kill Idea stemer" An eye-witness stated that he should n fowl the mine that occurred. At on. zeomsnt all wen animas to obtain • glimpse of the Ques--every eye was Muted to the spot whence the royal carriage was to emerge, when the cry was raised that the Qtlllllll had been shot. Ii as theriat the cry ran through the unsettled thousands on " Same hiss; he has murdered the Queen." Instead of looking after her]gaiety, as the people had before begin en gaged in, they aura their attention towards and employed theireelves is looking after the diabolical wretch who would thee attempt to loor or frighten her Majesty. A large body of polies were immediately on the spot, and a eats Wag red, the prisoner was taken to Buckingham Palau, mad from thence to the nearest police station. The prisoner is a man about 5 feet 7i inches high, and presented an of much sternaess and funiness. When sked his name, he stated it to be John Hamilton, that he was 24 pars of age, and was an Irishman ; that he was a native of the county of Limerick ; that he was a bricklayer's labourer but that he had not had any work to do for the 'alit three or four menthe, the list porno for whom he bad worked having been a builder at Chelsea. Oa his person was found the pistol, • small pocket one, which was taken Ina him by the polio/man and George as he was eadeavuring to force it into his rowers pocket to hide it The pistol had an old flint lock. Oa beingeksely examined, it was found to bear the maker's name, which was " Clark, London." The police have, therefore, been despatched to make ingairies for the purpose of turning where the prisoner procured the instrument. It was a small pocket pistol, with about half an inch barrel. The bore has been minutely examined, but it is as yet impossible to tell whether any ball has been discharged lately. Mr. Superintendent May, of the A division, soon entered the station-houe after the prisoneesarrival, and was directly followed by Mr. Commissioner Mayne, who questioned some 'of the persons that tendered themselves as witnesses. One of those individuals had one of his cheeks 'curbed by the flash of the pistol, so clue to him was it distharded. Au thor, • man well known to the police as • hangeron about the stables of Messrs. Tatter,all, stated that he was sanding on the path by the side of the prisoner, who asked him II the Queen hrd passed by. He told him she had not. The next moment the carriage approached, when the prisoner asked, "Is this the Queen ?" and on his saying it was, he saw him rail his head, and observed the handle of the pistol in it, and heard the prisoner say to himself, " let the know it," and instantly fired the pieta On the wearies being taken from him, it was handed to Major- I Ge r i al Weeny's. lie wa, soon after his arrival at the 4'6os-house, placed in this front of the dock. U. we deemed in corduroy treason, emu' jacket, moleskin weistoost, blucher boots, and white stockings. lie appeared perfectly sane and sober, but at once indicated that he was • native of the sister country. The acting superintendent of police inquired of the man his name ? The Prisoner—John Hamilton. The Inspector—Your age The Prisoner—l am twenty four yen old. The Inspector—Where do you reside ? The Prisoner—l refute to give my address. The Inspector—Are you a maths of Eoglud ? The Pri soner—No. Ihe Inspector—Where then ? The Prisoner—lreland. The Inspect ir—What part?

The Prisoner—No. The Inspector—How long? The Prisoner: Five years. General Wraps attended at the station, and informed the inspector that at the moment of the report being he rd he was on horseback, and close to the window of the royal carriage, in which her Majesty was seated. Her Majesty was on the left side ' her usual custom. He distinctly saw the moles coming from this man, and he saw one of the park-keep is wile the prisoner and hold him until • police. man clambered over the railings. Ile did not thick the pistol had any other charge than powder; if it had been charged with • bullet or shot he must have received I'. The Queen could have received in Wary, as he was completely between her and the enema. No injury whatever was done to the royal carriage. It is most probable that this outrage was effected for notoriety, and could Lave been no more productive of danger to our graciou Qum than was the wicked, but at the same time childish exploits of Oxford, Francis, and Bean. When the news reached Sir George Grey, at hie dia.' pay at the Clarendon, he immediately repaired to the Walk having first sent instructions to the Home-office that paposolins *mold be made for an eternisation, if nee's say, sailthat one of the commissioners of police should be etteudance. It was not considered necessary, however, to Institute a formal inquiry then. Lord John Russell pr► ceded to the palace from Chest's= place where he Ma been entertaining • party of friends. The scene along the public thoroughfares on Saturday evening was of a very animated descriptios. Every perm seemed delighted that her Majety had eseerd this Mask upon her life. Aloe, Regent street, Pall-mall, and um Si. James's Palace, the crowd frequently gave vent to their as prossions of loy al ty, and cried out " Long live the Qum." At the various club-homes the announcement that her Majesty had escaped uninjured was received with loud and long-continued plaudits, and the " Health of the Queen" was drunk with three times three; and at the mioisterial dinners the same marks of attachment to the Sovereign were awarded. The " National Anthem " was sung along the grand mall of St. James's Park ; and in the various theatres the audiences rose, and demanded tie per. foremen to sing the " National Anthem," which they warmly responded to. The moment the news become known at her Majesty's Theatre, the opera (It Barbiire di Sivighs) 1.1111 stopped by order of Mr. Lumley, and Mr. Lee came for ward and made the following announcement:— " Ladies and gentlemen—Under the impression theta por tion of the audience may lie labouring under anxiety, and as loyalty is here unmeant to all other thought+, I am com missioned by Mr. Lumley to inform you, that although her gracious Majesty and the royal children wine shot at whilst returning to the palace, they have (thank Heaven !) escaped unhurt." The vocalists of the establishment the. rung " God Save the Queen " thrice. Bits sensation nested by the announc ement we. immense—and the enthusiasm universal. At the Royal Italian Opera, the Royal Anthem was sung at the beginning of the evening, according to custom on her Majesty's birthday. But, by the time the opera —(" Luorezia Borgia")—was over, it became buzzed ab tat the homes that the Queen had been shot at—although no othe:al announcement was made of the fact—ad " God Save the Queen" was again vehemently called for, and the cur tain rase, diacevennotthe chorus of "Masaniello," who commencedi the anthem. Madame Grisi then came forward .n her private attire, sod sung one verse with great energy and enthusiasm, which found a ready asperse in the loyally excited auditory.

The prisoner was brought in by Mr. May. the eruperintendent of the A division, and Inspector Otway : be seemed to be pos sessed by a dogged resolution of treating the circumstance of his being in custody upon so serious a charge with effrontery ; but a few momenta made a marvellous change, awl his com plexion, which is naturally florid, tamed ashy pale, and he became excessively tremulous. The prisoner, who gave his name as James Hamilton, and whose age is 22 years, a native of the county of Limerick, and II trade a bricklayer, was then formellv charged with haviog, on the 19. h of May, on Constitution.hill, St..Jamee the 's park, yreeented and fired a pistol at her Majesty Queen.

The prisoner was asked, as he had been at the conch= of the examination ciao previous witnesses, whether he had any questions to ask. He replied, " No, nothing." Daniel Lush was metalled and examined. Daniel Lamb, a man evidently powering great streneati was next sworn, and stated that he was by preludes a " running huntsman," and on being required to give an ex planation, said he ran barefoot with OM Warwickshire and Northamptonshire bounds. He said that about half-past 6 o'clock he was standing about the middle of what he had Face learnt was Constitution-hill, when he saw her Majesty coming towards the spot where he stood. He was at that time eke* to the railings dividing the road from the park, want he saw the prisoner steading neer • tree, who addressed him, saying, "Is that the Queen I" and he told him it was. He then saw him immeilistely raise a pistol and shoot at her Majesty. Witness felt some - thing par close to his ear, and believed at the time that it was • bullet. Witness hat at the moment preceding the report turned to look at the Queen, sad da not see the erne explosion, but feeling certain the shogeame from the planer, he attempted to get ever the railings, bat at that aleMent he saw the park-keeper seise: him, and be called on witness to assist, which he did by lmbline him by the coat tails, the nil preventing him taking hold of any portion of his person. The prisoner and. no attempt to escape, and a policeman having vas up witness assisted him over the railings. Witneu had noticed that the prisoner had bees welkin about the same spot some time, sad kept his left land in his trowser's pocket, and this he continued to do until he was taken into custody. Beheld the pistol with the right hand, and when he had ditch aged it tried to put in his sight baud pocket, but was prevented. On being taken into custody he became very mach agitated. He was let out into the road by a wicket gate, and had he not been got speedily into a cab be believed the populace would have torn him to pieces. Wit ness noticed the royal carriage draw up suddenly, but went on almost directly. Major-Gen. Wemysa' testimony was next taken. He stated that he was ore of the equerries appointed to attend upon her Maj. sty, and as such attended the Queen on Saturday last. He heard the report of • pistol, being at that time close to that side of the carriage in which: her Majesty was seated. He turned his horse round, and perceived smoke coming from the spot where the prieoner stood. Her Majesty was not in a position of danger had a shot or bullet brit fired, as from his position the missile must have taken offset on him. He had examined the pistol. When shown to him by the police it certainly smelt strongly of gunpowder ; but his opinion as a military officer was, that it had neither an tained • ball or shot. The nest witness celled was George Malden, No. 1 keeper in the Green-park. He proved that he district!! saw the prisoner rare his cm as the royal nrrisge approached, and bearing a load report he ran up and seised him, calling upon the wastes Lamb to assist in holding him. Witness seised the pistol produced from his hand. The prisoner made no resistance. Several other witnesses deposed to the facts above stated, smorgst whom were Police Constable Tapley, 68 A, who apprehended the prisoner, and who ewers tbat he distinctly saw the pistol presented and fired at the Queen, as also Matilda Reed, of Tattersall's-row, Hyde Path, who had held some short conversation with the prisoner prior to the Queen arriving at the spot. Mr. Renwick, the sergeant-footman to the Queen, was afterwards a xamined, and proved that he saw the planer point the pistol at her Majesty's carriage, and immediately called to the riders to stop, and the Queen rose instantly, who, upon bear acquainted with what bad cceurred, ordered them to drive on, which they accordingly Mr. Inspector Otway, of the A division, proved that he bad been to search the house in which the prisoner lodged ; that he found he bad no property, pen of the most trifling value, and that two shirts which he discovered in the room bad been lent by clarity. One of the witnesses, a sailor, named Nicholls, wished to know what he was to do ; he had signed an agreement to go as mats in • veined which would sail in the course of a week, and his being detained in town would be of wrap injury to him. It was arranged that be 'bald attend the King-street station-house on Monday (this day), and Inspector Otway would, after taking the facts emeected with his case, submit them so the Solicitor General. The whole of the depositions having been read over and signed, the various witnesses were each bound in • mogul swim of 1001. to appear at the Central Criminal Court on the 11th of June nat. We think it neceseary to state, lest any inaccuracies may be complained of in this report of the peocesediap at the Home-office, that no facility was given to any representative of the pees for acquiring information. The gentlemen at tending were in the first instance informed that the deposi tions of the witnesses would be open to their wig:reran, but that promise was not fulfilled. After the prison', was oat gritted, the reporters were sent for, when Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, said that the prisoner had been fully committed under the 5 & 6 Vic. e. 51 s. 2, on a charge of firing • pistol, loaded with gunpowder, for the purpose of attempting to alarm her Majesty. There was no bullet or shot. nothing more than gunpowder, in the pint I. He (the magistrate) thotelit it necessary to state thus mach, as the fact brought the cue within the meaning of that act The effect of the prisoner's conviction will be inspire ment with hard lalfour, and one or sore public whippings, as the judge may order. RAPID DELIVERY OF LETTERS. General Post office, May 1849.—The Postmaster-General is desirous of calling attention to the greater rapidity of delivtry which would, obviously be consequent on the general adoption of street-door letter-boxes, or slits, in private dwelling hums, and indeed wherever the postman is at present kept waiting. He hopes that householders will not object to the means by which, at a very moderato expense, they may secure eo desirable an advantage to themselves, to their neighbours, and to the public service. @TUX COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOOLE AND ltorrsinan.—A steamer is about to run weekly between' ..

' COMMITTAL OF ANOTHER WIFE FOR POISONING ass HUSBAND.—Considerable excitement prevails through. out the neighbourhood of Dori** in consequence of the discovery of another supposed cue of secret poisoning, and the committal to the county jell of the alleged murderess. The circumstances connected with the case, as far as they have yet been ascertained, appear to be as follow :--Bome few days since • married man about twenty-six years of age, named Wm. Hornsby who resided at Haltwhistle,was taken suddenly ill, and be died shortly afterwards, from what was at first believed to be luflammaton of the stomach, produced by natural causes. The man's death having become genic rally known through the district, a report became mime that his wife on the day preceding the death had purchased some arsenic, for the alleged purpose of poisoning rats. The neighbours and other parties at once made is qui rim respecting the mysterious affair, which satl-fled them that the poison had not been used for the purpose stated.

The deemed baronet, who was in the 74th year of his age, appeared on Friday to be in as good health as usual, and remained at the park till the afternoon, when he proceeded to Stapleton Court, where he dined aid spent the evening, retiring to rest at about the usual hour, without anything having ' occurred to excite apprehension of hi, approaching dissolu tion. On the following morning his valet, upon proceeding to his master's bedroom to perform the n'ual tffices, was alarmed to find him ill and quite speechless. He imme diately alarmed the household, and servants were di 'patched for medical aid ; tut the seizure was fatal, and the aged baronet died shortly afterwards. Sir John Smyth, who was very rich, was descended from an ancient house which, se early as the beginning of the 15th century, was connected honourably with the village of Ayleburt in, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. For three centuries the family 11, ye been connected with the parish ef Long Ashton, near Bristol, in which, and the adjacent parishes, the principal estates con nected with the baronetcy are situated. The family has been twice raised to the dignity of the baronetcy. The first baro net, Sir Hugh Smyth, was the son of a stauerh adherent of the Royalist cause at the time of the civil war, hut with his grandma John the title expired in 1741, for want of male descendants. It was recreated iu January 1763, when John Jarrett Smyth, Esq , a representative of the city of Bristol in parliament, had the title bestowed. The deceased Sir John, who succeeded to the title on the death of his brother, in January 1824, was a bachelor, and of course died without issue. THE NIAGARA, Captain Ryrie, sailed from Liver pool on Saturday for Halifax and New York, with about 20,000!. specie on freight.

Ton preliminary step having been disposed of, a very ani mated discussion ensued as to the proper parties to present the petitions, which went to the extent of demonstrating that the agriculturists an at length actively and vigorously pre paring to take their affairs into their own hands, and that if the cuuaty members do not attend to their own duties and to the iuterssta of their constituents, the farmers must seek other members woo will do so. This was particularly appa rent from the speech of Mr. Kent, who moved Shit the peti tions to the Rouse of Commons be presented by Mr. Hume, which was unsnimcusly adopted. The subsequent reseed inn were, in like manner, indicative of the same f sling, Mr. Line.' proposition, " that the petitions to the House of Lords be placed in the hands of the Duke of Richmond," bevies been met by an amendment from Mr. Witten, to the effect, " that Mr. Hume be written to,_ asking his opinion as to whom the petitions to the Rouse of Lords ought t r be en trusted for presentation," which was (with two exceptions) nnaninsnar'y carried. Tun FREEHOLD MOVEMENT in this town (says the Nesecank Guardian) is already proceeding with all the spirit and energy which Wive , hilly attend a geed cause. Its success already exceeds the most sanguine expectations of the projectors, no fewer than about 440 members having joined. In the prospectus issued by the provisional committee it is stated that " the expense to an individual of obtaining a ' freehold qualification' would in many cases be from 601. to 701, while on the other hand, by the streng'h of association, it is fully believed that this will he done by this society for about 201."—The Gateshead Observer of Saturday sap: Last night the number of members had risen to 461, and of shame to 655. ROMANCE IN REAL LlFL—Under this heading tho Preston Chronicle records the death in that town of a grand daughter of Francis, Lord North, and a niece of the Prime Minister. The deceased lady was a Mre. Kemp, daughter of Mr. Bradley, a tailor and draper of Preston. Mrs. Brad ley was eldeatdaughter of the Hon. Francis North, end was educated in the family of the Earl of Halifax, and, as the tale goes, fell in love in London with a clerk of the name of Brett. Mr. Brett, though respectably ccartected, and hav ing good prospects, was not considered of suitable station to espouse the daughter of a peer, and she was therefore sent down to Preston to break off the sequaintanee. After re maining here for some weeks, under the care of two ladies named Ast!ey, whose Other was mayor at that time, she re ceived an intimation that Mr. Brett, supposing she h ad gone ti France, had set out in quest of her, and had been drowned in crossing from Dover to Calais. Believ ing the statement, and much distressed in her mind, she immediately returned to London, and related her troubles to her foster-mother, observing, at the same time, that as her friends had deprived her of the object of her warmest affec tions, she would accept the first offer that was made to her. Her foster-mother having a nephew then lodging with her, hem Preston, with a view to improvement in his business, she communicated to him what the unhappy lady had stated. He made her an offer accordingly, and in three days they were married at Keith's Chapel, Mayfair. This nephew was Mr. Bradley, tailor and draper, of this totem ; end the daughter of one of the proudest aristocratical familial of the empire became the wife of a Preston tradesman ! She gave birth to 12 children. Harsh and unforgiving as it may appear, this merrier for ever cut her off from her former friends and connexions, not one of whom ever exchanged a single word wi•ki her afterwards, except Sir Roger Burgoyne, who married her partieular friend, Lady Frances Montague, and who accidentally met her in London. Lord Strange, father of the late Earl of Derby, also recognised her after she had become a resident of Preston. He had known her when a girl, living with her relatives, near his own residence, in London, and evinced his sympathy at her altered position by becoming a customer to her husband, and recommend ing his friends to follow his example. With these exceptions, and now and then a small present, sent through an unknown medium, but for which it was thought she was indebted to the interference of Lord Strange, she was completely severed from and neglected by her own noble relatives, and sunk into the give about 1 1790, at the age of sixty - t w o, having about fi ve years before lost her husband by death, and subsequently become so re , doted in circumstances as to be Domiciled to part with her jewellery, among which was a valuable ring, given her by Charles Spencer, Duks of Marlborough, who married her cousin. Her ashes were consigned to their last resting place in the burial ground of the Pres'on parish church. Mr. Brett, her " first love," it may be added, rose to eminence in point of position, havirg become member for Sandwich, and also one of the Lords of the Admiralty, during the coalition ministry of Lord North and Mr. Fox, in 1783, but, it is un derstood, died unmarried." A MISER'S ADVENTURE--At Woodstock, in the parish of St. Hilsiry, Cornwall, the inhabitants were lately reused from their slumbers by an alarm of fire, ` until recently was found that a small cottsga, the property, and until recently the reiidenee of an apparently poor but induatr ous labourer, was discovered to be on fire ; and in a short time the whole building became a mass of fire, and every exertion to subdue the flames proved unavailing. Information was sent to the proprietor, who lived at a short distancs from the scene of destruction. On receiving the intelligi nee, he exhibited the greatest alarm, hastened to the cottage, and would have rushed into the midst of the fire had he not been withheld. But after the fire bad somewhat subsided, he rushed in amidst the burning and the barest, requesting some person to watch and throw water over him. With hi, in hand he reached the standing wall, when, to the astonishment of all present, he began pulling out a large quantity of gold and silver from a hole in the wall, just under one of the beams. He seemed to suffer much from the intense heat, and was obliged to be conveyed to his residence and put to bed. Aet r a few hours he was so far recovered as to be enabled to overhaul his treasure, which he found was coesider ably lees than the amount which he had placed in his "bank of deposit." Re hastened back to the smoking ruins, and after a diligent search found acme more of his treasure ; belt, alas ! it was melted and rendered useless as coin ; but it has since been sold in Penzance for old silver for 2.sl.—Corntoati Gazette.
