Tamtvon mails mentioned this case, he said the defendant 6d been repeatedly called upon .to receive the Judginent of the c o urt, for a Conspiracy in claiming for .his brother Stant,'" Cooke; t h e Barony of Stafford and this of Lord Stafford ; the delendant had r epeatedly. put I , affidavits of his being confined with the gout. I nqu iry had in the meantime been made by the wlicitor.of Sir G.' j er ohigham, the prosecutor, who had not been able to find out the defendant's residence. His application now was that the defendant should be ordered, on pain of being pronounced in contempt.to give information where he resided, in order that a medical gentleman might be lent on their part to see him, and ascertain if his indispo sition Was such as to prevent him coming up to receive judgment. Castrorm. said, be had a surgeon's certificate of the defen dant's severe indisposition,talso affidavits of his bail, and one from the nude who attended. LORD Cuter JOSTICE.—There can be no objection that he should be waited upon by a medical man on the other side, to confirm the fact of the defendant's indisposition ; and that the residence should be given up.—lt wu ordered accordingly. The Minister of the Intel for of the Kingdom of Wir tembeg has published an ordonnance prescribing the measures to be adopted. relative to houses and other buildings damaged by the inundation. A notice has been publisheil by the Police at Carls rube, • stating that every exertion is making to re-es tablish the communications, and that temporary bridges were erecting, which,. however, Would not be able to bear loaded waggons weighing more than 50 or 60 cwt.

Monday, an accident happened at Gate Wood, near, Cantley. In .the 'absence of the gamekeeper, an assist ant was lett to feed the pheasants, when unfortunately treading on the wire attached to a spring gun, it went ulf, and the poor man received the contents in his legs aid thighs. Though severely wounded, we understandt he is in a fair way of recovery. A Gentleman of London has in his possession part of the ex that'was roasted •at Northampton, at the Royal, Jubilee, fifteen. years ago; and ate some of it for his' luncheon on the. sth anniversary of the day on which it was reasted,. and found it very goad, with the true. flavour of roast beet; a little salted. The way it is pre-' served is in a large square bottle, corked close, the meat, being a little salted when it was roasted. A system of fraud is at present very successfullyrearil vied on by a gang of well dressed persons, who pinto, different shops and , purchase trifling articles, and after paying for them, they.expiess • a wish to be favoured with silver for five or ten shillings-worth of • halfpence, which they carry about them, made up in cartridge:sof, five shillings each. Halfpence being rather scarce at present, the shopkeeper gladly exchanges them, not doubting but they. are all good copper, but on opening then he finds to his loss that they are but small pieces of sheet lead rolled -up to the same size as penny pieces. An Inquest was held at the White Lion, Shadwell, on the body of J. Durham, 'aged. 18, belonging 'to a collier lying in the river, whobeing sent by the Captain with another lad to clean out the cabin, was Shot. by his companion. They were playing together, when the other lad took up a musket, ignorant of its being loaded, and placed the butt-end under his arm, when it went off, and the contents lodged in the deceased. The' Captain said he loaded the musket for the purpose of shooting birds, and it was left in a place to which the whole crew had access. The youths it appeared had always been on good terms, and the Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental Death—but expressed themselves highly indignant at the Captain's conduct in leaving the musket thus exposed. Thursday last, an Inquest was held at Ho&beck; on the body of Hannah Firth, a young woman, aged 16 years, the domestic servant of Mr. Taylor,' surgeon, in Water-lane. The following are the circumstances of this melancholy case:—On Monday. evening last, two boys, Edward Perry and Wm. Barker, of the ages of 12 and 13 years, loaded a small cannon with gun powder and tow, in doing which they used a piece of iron about six inches in length, and . as thick as a man's fin ger, which became fastened in the cannon, and baffled all their efforts to disengage it. They therefore at length determined to discharge it by firing off the cannon, having, as they thought, ascertained that the street was clear ; unfortunately, at this moment the deceased .was entering the house of a neighbour, and the iron ramrod was forced through the calf of her leg, which produced an effusion of blood that proved fatal, and she expired after languishing about forty hours. The Jury found a verdict of " Accidental Death."

Chambers might, it seems, have 'commanded immense sums, hid he those.n to avail himself of the power which his great respectability gave him in the. monied • world ; but he preferred at once closing tins accounts, and in making.up his balance, in all' instances underrated the value of his own property' and the means In hand, detertntneil to be satisfied himself if it produced the full amount of demand upon it. Upon investigating his property, it has been disco vered. to be worth nearly double his owh estimate ; and when made available to the creditors, will, after paying twenty shillings in the round; leave a sum of sixty thousand pounds in his hands. A Committee is appointed to arrange and liquidate the debts, and not one dissentient voice was heard when , the arrangements were - proposed which have been' adopted ; indeed, herring the feelings which -,must arise from the .contemplation, of such baseness as has been practised upon Mr. Chambers and his house, it may be said to have been a proud day for him and his son.

Saturday, at half-past eleven o'clOtk, an Inquest was held at the Horse and Groom, West.street c :Walwortli; on the body of Caroline Dewhirst, a child-two years old.

It was covered with bruises, and the face and head presented a most horrible spectacle, being one mass of bruises. In various parts of the room were marks of blood. The Jury, while viewing the body betrayed horror at the shocking scene. In additien to the witnesses examined at Union Hall, Mr. - 3ohn Th'ompson deposed, that lie is a trunk maker, residing ie Long Acre ; he knew Mr. Dewhirst abotit two years, and that within the last six months he has bees: in em barrassed; circumstances. About two months back he called a meeting of his creditors ; he came to witness, and told him a writ was taken out against him and on. Sunday se'nnighi he behaved like a man entirely out of his mind ; said he must starve, and that if he was put in priren his family would be greatly distressed. Witness believed him to be cot of his mind these two months past, in couseqUence of not being able to settle.with all his creditors..—The Coroner then addressed the Jury, and said that he had no doubt on his mind of the guilt of the accused, but that the Jury would, of course. exercise their judgment. They , immediately retired, and in a few minutes returned the following verdict:— " That the deceased came by her death by William Dewhirst, her father." One of the Reading coaches, that which leaves Fri day-street at noon, on passing through Hammersmith,: had nearly taken fire. Fortunately, the danger was. discovered in good time ; the smoking of the hinder wheel was peuceived just as the' coach arrived opposite to Mr. CLOUD'S coach-yard, in Hammersmith. The wheel was immediately taken off, and wet straw ap plied to the box and the axletrie, with water constantly poured on them ; but they were so decidedly warmed, that it was some time before the heat could be abated, the friction between the box and the axletree had pro duced such 'violent heat. The coach was heavily laden, 'especially with luggage. Nearly an hour's delay was occasioned. by this cooling operation, but it was an ef fectual one. _ . .• . . • .. FITZE..bI;MGM FURTHER filftlrlaULAßS..: AbOilt 11 o'clock on Tueidaii Hight,. the. fire broke nut afresh in the Rulliament:square. It spread with tremendous rapidity, andi.desn! ,- )Ned the whole of the Square, except the P.itliament House and Advocates' I..ibrary, the banking hone of Sir %V. Forbes and Co. and a few chambers in the lower stories of the conti guous building. This second fire commenced' in •thelop story of the building Which contained rt e, New Jury 'Court, From what cause has not been ascertained. No•Mie . can rer ceiee any connexion be:ween it and the fire of Monday. as the wind blew a strong gale from the west, and the new Police Of f ice and the old ruins to eastward, com pletely protected the Parliament-square from she unquenched embers of the lligh-street and its back closes. The people seemed utterly panicittuck by this new calamity, and every one saw the impossibility of arresting its progress with the means which sad expe rience had; proved tt be so scanty and imperfect. In less than an hour all the upper stories of the south range of buildings (excepting those ablee noticed) wet e in flames, and the fire speedily communicated with the 'tiers of chimbers below.• To the eastern and southern environs 'Of the city, it presented an appearance of th , • most appalling grandeur. It is well known. that this huge and ancient specimen of masonry was the wonder -of all strangers. Its base was in the valley below, and ,its roof about seven stories above the Parliament-square; so that, in all, the same pile o€, building was continued for about twelve stories high from the eellAraAe. During the night it was seen vomiting flames and clouds of ignited. matter, which fell in dense andainnunierable flakes; like shower of snow scattered over the 'eastern part of'the cify.- It isiimpossible to describe the alarm which prevailed. Persons were stationed on•the roofs of the house.; to sweep off the fiery fragments as soon as they descended. 'Msts and damped blankets wise thrown over the .chimney tops, and tire Commertrid Bank adopted the 'excellent preCantion-of spreading wet carpets over the entire roof of their building. ' The cellar windows - along the streets, ks-here a'ppre• pensions were entertained, were also blocked up?with carpeting; and - made otherwise secure.'

The number of killed, and wounded will not easily be ascertained. Before the fire was got under in Parliament-square, it was ascertained that the sparks had inflamed a wooden building situate in the.row of houses that divide Conn's. and Covenant close,. In' this direction 'the fire now broke - out, to the annoyance and alarm of the whole Cowgate. • The tradesmen. in Hunter-square and Blair street now considered it expedient. to commeoce the re moval 'of their stock, for which purpose some f , f them, hadheett provided with carts and other • vehicles, ever ; since Tuesday morning. • • During Tuesday and Wednesday the ptincipal shot* were shut, and'-the people wandered about - the town; and the sqtttruitier of furniture and bedding that were, 'Scattered mall directions gave it the appearance of . rag fair. • Wednesdat• one of the • Leith Magistrates headed party of sailors, and much to the honour of himse • •and followers, volunteered their services in the defence-.

A' dragoon, severely hurt, was carried to the Castle ; and there are ten patients at present in the Royal Infirmary. The projerty destroyed in the Parliament-square was the new Jury-Court, which had been lately fitted up at a considerable expense ; and 'the shops of Messrs.

The Auditors' Chambers; the s.tamp Distributing Office, the Gazette Office, .Messrs. Brougham and. Anderson's ex• missive wine-cellars. The greater proportion of these properties are we believe insisted. The premises de stroyed in the High-street were occupied by Mr. Milner, apothecary; Messrs, Kirkwood, importers ; Messrs Dungan and Greig, carpet dealers ;'Mr.•John Hunter, grocer ; Mr. Wnr.

Wednesday a of military were sent to Musselburgh to borrow the fire engines from that town. We hear that more engines have arrived horn Glasgow. About two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, in alartvi of fire was given from Carruber's Close, in the High. street, below North Bridge-street, and excited the greatest apprehensions, from the difficulty of intici ducingengines into that steep and narrow passage. In this instance, owing to the early discovery of the smoke, the fire was very readily extinguished; and it is re ported, that a circumstance has transpired which throws much suspicion on this transaction. The rumour is, that a quantity of combustibles were found in the room in •whith the fire commenced; but there are other vague reports, ascribing the late fires to incendiaries, the.accuracy of which, in the present confused state' of the public offices, it is impossible to determine: Some alarms of fire were given on Wednesday night, from the Conine and the High-street; but they. were either groundless, or the causes of Omar were speedily iemoved. Nothing occurred yesterday to excite any new apprehensions, except the falling of several of the dead walls in Parliament-square. Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in theTrades'house,Glassford-street,Glasgow. Informa tion was immediately given at the Police Office, when, shortly afterwards, the engines arrived, and commenced playing on - the flames, which were in the inside of the,,, house. From the active exertions of the Magistrates,' and Mr. Hardy, Superintendent 'of Police, the flames were soon subdued. The damage done is inconsiderable. . 'Wednesday morning, about four o'clock, a fife brae out in the workshops, three stories high, of Mr. Ben nie, and wood-merchant, Itobntson-Areer,; Glasgow, which. were totally consumed . The ro 'f felt in before the engines arrived, bgt although they could • not save any. part of the property. where the fire oti.. ginated, they saved the adjoining buildings, but not without. :considerable difficulty. The flames caught . part ,of the..winclow-frames of an adjoining tenement, but by the exertions of the - occupiers, who kept throVe r ing water on them its progress was arrested. mete was not an article saved. Besides the wood in the workshops and saw-pits, all the wrights' tools became a prey to tip flames. ,How the fire originated is not yet ascertained. ~FIRE AT KEMP-TOWN, NEAR BurouTou.--g-Tl?orida y y, evening, about a quarter-past eight o'clock, one of the unfinished houses at the extreme western end o f.

The rate was a good one. The horses wet e neck and neck Crum the onset to nearly the close of the struggle; not a hurdle was touched, so high and complete was the spring of the* horses, at one and the same instant above them, that a boy would have remained unhurt on each; but by the dint of superior speed only ' , in the latter three hundred yards, Colonel Charity had the good fortune to win.
