During these gradations the little animal appeared quite at home, and finished his hag of beans. Having been in the air upwards of half an hqur.

A Meeting qtrai held yesterday at the City of London Tavern of theSuhscr iber, to the accumulating fund of the London Hos i m •I ;Mt ;INN EY, the banker, in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the present demands on the hospital were increasing, it being a notorious fact, that the business of Londoti was daily progressing eastwards, and the consequence was, that during the last yeat 1,600 Applications for admissions were refused solely because of a want of a:commoslation. There might he ob jections to lithle Societies and School Societies, but to the London Hospital lie was convinced no difference of opinion existed from Wbitechaitel to I lyde-park-corner. The Treasurer, Mr. Corrupt, said that great exertions were ne cessary, but when be contrasted its present advanced state ot im provernent with what it was in I so7, when a similar application to the benevolence of the public was made, he could not despair ot the want ot success, or believe that the public charity was exhausted. All they wanted was additional room for patients, and the means of providing its objects with the means of subsistence : it was for this purpose that they now came before the public, in order that the London Hospital accumulating lurid, now amounting to 6,4001. might be increased so as to be employed in the extension of the present Hospital. The Hospital had been established sixty years since, and now the commerce of London was treble its then amount, and the wants of this charity had increases' in a similar ratio. , He concluded by proposing Resolutions declatatory of the wants of the Hospital to meet the demands for admission made upon it ; the advantage of rendering it in some degree proportionate to these wants ; and calling un the public generally, by its aid, to forward the objects they bad in view. Mr. Mote eosin( seconded these Resolutions, and bore testi tnony,ae Chairman of the House Committee, to the unpleasant duty he had had too often of refusing numerous applications for admis sion. He adduced instances in which urgent cases of admisAion were obliged to be refused, in which the patients refused had dropped down at the hospital gates, and expired within a short period. The Resolution• were put from the Chair, and carried una nimously. Several donations were annouced ; amongst others, the Lord Mayor, 10 guineas ; Mr. , Barclay .501. Mr. Montefiore, 101 the Alliance Marine Insurance Company, 100 guineas, &c.—Aftez a vote of dislike to the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned. DESTRUCTION OF BKAMHAM PARK MANSION. tit I TIS Li NI tSEUMt . Wednesday this establishment was cloceJ t•t the pub• c fot the season. Upon a teview, it al•pusrs !h-t the past ha. been one eminently masked, both a• ie.:Ards the extent f scions received, and the nitni-cr and rank ot its visitors. Since the additimi f Sir J:isepli Bankes's library, the arrangement of which has jest been completed, it may be safely asserted that the li• i• tish Museum contains the best library of n itur4l history in the world. Sir Joseph's splendid coll:ction embraces 24 WO volumes of all that is rare in natural history. Hi: late Majesty's library, again (the delivery of which will he completed during the pte.ent we , k), en braces 60,000 volumes t•f all that is rare and ertli!e in ti e ample range of art and literature; many Viousands ot these volumes ate in the mo•t exquisite and co•rly bind ing. The King's library is rich in work• of opt , - graphy. The London Institution, it is well known, has had hitherto perhaps the best and largest collection of topographical yanks ; since the accession of the King's library at- the Museum, however, the prefeiense will he now given to the latter establishment. The ttupl cates which are found amorgst the King's books, it is said, will be collected and exchanged tor different works. This observation, however, does not apply t t the duplicates presented to the Museum by other parties; these are never disposed of, but kept from courtesy to the donors. The arranging of the King's 1, broks, it is calculated, will occupy the Librarians and' their assistants about six mouths, when they will be ready for public inspection and perusal. Several do nations of a miscellaneous nature have also been revr ceived during the past season. The late-Lord Primate Nits one ot the Trustees of the Museum, and was in the .tabit of paying it frequent visits. SON N ET. ry 'Alms. G. G. RICHARDSON. My darling boy ! light of my sinking heart !

National Gallery, combined with a suitable building and offices for the Royal Academy, has been at length finally determined on. The architect to whom the buildings are to be entrusted is Mr. John Nash, whose designs have been approved of by his Majesty and the proper authorities. The New National Gallery and Royal Academy, for so the building is to be denominated, is to be on a grand scale of three hundred yards in length, having a beautiful Corinthian portico and centre dome, with a small one on each wing, and a lesser owe on each of the principal extremities. It will occupy the site of the present Riding House in the King's Mews, Charing-cross, immediately facing the south, and by the elevation is intended to be about twice the height of the first-rate houses at present erected. The building will turns a very picturesque and noble line, extending in directiona front Pall mall East, nearly across to St. Martin's church. The space immediately in front will be occupied by the New Royal Academy, which is intended to represent an extensive Grecian temp'e. having, at the entrance and exit, a long flight of steps, and standing at right angles with the National Gallery. St. Martin's church will be left quite fear to the public view, with a large space of grounid railed in as a burial place. The workhouse of St. Martin's, in Castle -street, will remain in the back ground, but will usr•.iergo considerable alterations on the south side to cor respond with other buildings. On the east side will be erected a sew and magnificent range of police offices, intended as the prin cipal metropolitan station, instead of the present incommodinws office at Bow.street. And close to them will appear the Vicar's houseand the parochial -cline's. The grand line of street will be from west to vela by Pall.rnall, passing the front of the .National Gallery, and enter the Strand facing liungerford street ; the , Strand being widened for some distance to a road way of sixty Jeet. The open spaces of ground will be formed into squares, planted with trees, and tailed round to protect them from injury. • The Mentor, a Paris.

Wednesday morning a young man, dress 'd in a round jacket and striped' trowers, dashed his hand through the strop vti bdow if Mr. Avila, pawnbroker, Mile-end oad, and in an instant snatched a valuable gold duplex watch, a gold French hunting watch, and a gold dome tch, we h which he ran off, and succeeded in making 1. .scape. At the Au. ton Mart, yesterday, the Freehold Theatre at Croydon was brought to the hammer, by order of ELLISTON'S assignees. The Theatre, when well tilled, will hold nearly 601. and on many nights, when KEAN has pert rmed, about 1001. hasebeen in the house. The scenery, chandeliers, several moveable and set pieces, %Irate , thunder and lightning, back burners, large I imp, green curtain, &c. was included in the purchase. The lot was knocked down at 7sol. Bunca.satas.—Early on Tuesday morning the resi dence 01 Lady Oakes, at Mitcham, Surrey, was broken open, and a quantity of plate and about three pounds in silver stolen ; and on Wednesday the house of Mr. Fulwood, Nu. 3, Brunswick -street, Hackney-road, was broken open, and a 6ve pound note. and a quattrty of apparel stolen. Saturday, at the Roucan, near Dumfries, Mr. Wight• man began cutting down a field of exceliebt G.orsean oars, sown in April last. The reports about the crops have been much exag gerated. A great deal of hay in Essex, Kent, and other counties, has been delayed by the late tains ; but there has not been nearly so much wheat or barley laid as has been represented. Indeed, the change in the wea ther has already produced a favourable eff ct upon the markets. Flue samples of wheat were offered yesterday milting at the Curn Exchange at a reduction of two shillings a quarter under Monday's prices. But no sales could be made, and a great • many of those 'made last mark -t day were thrown up. The accounts from the country are much mnie favourable. FURTHER PitRTICULARS. Great exertions were made to rescue the picures and furniture from the ravages of the destructive element ; but the success was by no means equal to the exertions of the persons employed in this laudable duty. Amongst the must distinguished of whom was Sir Edward Vara sour, who, after three attempts, succeeded in recover ing a number of the most. valuable pictures, one of which was a portrait of his departed Lady, in early life; the late Mrs. Fox ; a full-length portrait of Lord Rivers, kith robes; a splendid painting of the death of Ger manicus; a family group, by Guest. of the present Mr. Fox's eldest son and his two sisters; a whole leftgth painting of Queer. Anne, and several other pic tures; but the portraits of Lord and Lady Bingley, by &Joshua Reynolds, and the painting of the celebrated horse, by Haytor, with several other valuable paintings, were Either totally destroyed, of so much scorched and injured as to be rendered of no value. While these ex erttons were making in the gland entrance ball, the drawing room, and the picture room, the flames were rapidly extending themselves,and had already enveloped the centre of the house in a dense and almost suffocating smoke, w hen f c-h engines arrived ; and the energy dis played by the Tadca-ter and Parlingtnn firemen, with the great force end efficacy of the Leeds engines, over came the fire,.which about six o'clock was completely subdued, but not till three•frurths at least of the house, were destroyed, and more than that proportion of the plate, china, furniture, and other effects either burnt ur rendered entirely useless. It is impossible t eitionate the amount of the damage done by this ti ernendous confligration ; but we feat that the sum of forty thou sand pounds will scarcely replace i ~ while the amount insured f .tms only a small fraction of that sum. Ar the title of this cata-trophe, Mr. Fox war in the neigh bourhood of Basingstoke, attending the funeral of his late uncle, Lord Rivers, but he was expected at Bramhans Park on Wednesday, and it was understood tha: the Earl of Harewood had, with his accustomed kindness and condescension, undertaken to meet him on the way, and to break to him tie disastrous intelli gence. The cause of the fire ha, not been accurately ascertained, but it is conjectured that a lighted candle mast have been left in the butler's pantry, and that the flame had communicated to the tow, oil, or spirits of tine, deposited in that room. This splendid mansion was built by the first Lord Bingley, in the reign ot . Qbeen Anne, and has been always considered one of the most superb residences in the North of England, The surrounding country sympathises very rt. ongly with Mr. F-x and his family ; and the Doke of Rutland, Lord and Lady Harewood, and many of the distin. guished families of the neighbourhood, were at Bran-- ham Park the day after the fire, making such offers of service and accommodation as they had to afford to the the distressed inmates.

Carrington's Supplement to the Treati,e on Criminal Law." Mr. Baron VAUGHAN thought the prosecutor ought first to be applied to, and, if he refused the particulars, an order should be made to compel him to grant them He thought the Act inflicted a very great hardship upon prisoners, as in cases of this kind they may have received money from five hundred different people If the prosecutor telted t give the names of the people from whom the money was received by the prisoner, he should certainly feel it to be his duty to postpone the trial. Mr. R tcit RIM said he had no objection; on the par: of the proseCsitCP, to give an ..,count of t e w.y to which the m •isey was alleged i h .ve 'teen rereived.

For a shot t time after the prisoner entered M.

As the money was revived f um the passengers of the coach, it was impoisits:e to state correctly from whr m it had been received; and it hail even been de cided in the case of the King v. Beacail, 1 Car, and Panne 454. that it WAS not necessary to state in the in dictment f orn whom the money alleged to be enibezzled had been received. Tne Learned Courvel concluded by observing, ;hat it tie. pre.eht Act could nit be made to extedd to a description of f. „rid like that he had nilv explained to the Jury, it arl.led very little to the interests of that society it W 4% in ended to protect. . . Mr. John Scot - , the prosecutor, was then examined— He had formerly kept the Roebuck Inn, at Newcastle, but was now a coach propvetor. It appeared that on the 13 h cfJorn, the !pr./ober had received from the Mail a sum if 11 6 . 6J. on the 15,h,11. 17s. and cut the 20th, W. 18s. These slams he had eirt...ted in the book, but they were not tratismi,ted to Liverpool, as they ought to have been. In croo-eximination, the witness admitted that the prisoner had charged himself with mote money than he had paid. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN immediately interposed, and said that if the prisoner had charged himself with these sums as a debtor, there was no fraud. Under these circemstances, it was his duty to direct the Jury. to give a verdict of Not Guilty. FOIiGED NOTES. Thomas Lowe and Moses Smith were indicted, charged with utterine a lorp,ed note, purpoe ting to be a promis sory not • uf t le Governor and Company of the Bank of England. for the payment of 51. with intent to de fraud,.&c &c. • Mr. TaLeounia. having stated the case for the prose- 1 cution, called the following witnesses : Martha Broadhurst safe!, she is in the service of Mr. George Bentley, who keeps the Castle Inn, in Staff 'rd. On the of 23.1 of July, the prisoners caine to her mas 'ter's house, and having lead a colt* cf pot. of ale, the prisoner Lowe produced the note in question, and asked for change. Mr. Bentley said, he received the note from his wife. and sent it to the hank to ascertain if it was a go -d one. Mr. John Webb, son of Mr. Webb, the banker of Stifford, said that he remembered the note now pro duced being brought to their bank. It had net been out cf his possession since he received it, and lie had at that tine written his own name upon it. • .Cross-examined by Mr. C.

The impressions were not from a bank plate, and the signa-1 tures were not those of any of the signing clerks of the Bank of England. • A statement of the prisoners, taken in writing before the Magistrate who committed them, wherein -they stated that they had found the notes, was then put in and read. The prisoners, who are boatmen, then called several boatmen, who gave them a most ercellent character for honesty and good conduct. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having"tummed tap the evi- . dence, concluded by observing, that the main quettion for the consideration of the Jury was, whether the dente was sufficient to implic4e Smith with a full knowledge of the conduct vf Lour? The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, Mr. TALFOURD, on behalf of the prosecutor, recom mended the prisoners to mercy. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said, that, recollecting the good character the prisoners had received, he should in this instance permit the sentence to be ircorded ; but he &sired it might be distinctly understood, that it iv had appeared that the prisoners had been dealers in firged notes, he should have felt it his t uty to pronounce upon them the heaviest sentence of the law. . .

He asked me if I knew Bennett? and I told him I did, and that he was in the neighbourhood. The prisoner Holden further said, that if I did it, I was ti tap at his window f and he would get up and let me have the horse and cart. He said he would give me anything if I did it, As Mr. Whams had tiled to nail him and his Lather ever since the corn job happened. I had heard previously that old flulde a was *smuggle-, and that he had .been tried and acquitted at the last Croydon Assizes on a charge of stealing 16 quarters of oats. Bennett, when he proposed going after the horse and cart, had told me that it was likely we might find 11 Di. worth of goods in the stable with the hot se, as that was the smugglet's plant.
