GENERAL MOURNINGS. It appears, that in January, 1829—the whole of the Royal Family being then in good health—a public meet ing was held to consider the best means of alleviating the distress occasioned by general mourning, when a com mittee was chosen, and a great deal of information col lected by them on this subject was laid before Mr. Peel. 'I he object of the committee was to impress on the minds of the King's Ministers the ruinous effects of general mourn ing on a commercial country like this, and if possible to 410 away with them altogether, for they considered that were they to be shortened to a fortnight, the effects of a j ietrastinated illness of any of the Royal Family would prove a very serious injury. The committee were able to support their appeal by a fact which is far from being generally known—that this is the only country in which general mourning. are ordered. Some extracts from the correspondence collected by this committee will show the mode in which this question iF viewed in the great manufacturing districts, and the I• .lent to which their interests are affected by it. I.xtract of Declarations passed at Huddersfield, at a Meeting of the principal Manufacturers engaged in the fancy trade in the Town and Neighbourhood : Being deeply impressed with the evil effects resulting from ge neral mournings on the trade and manufacture of this extensive dis trict, we hereby declare that, from put experience, we have found them to be highly injurious to the interests and welfare of its dense population, as they invariably lead to the suspension and counter manding of orders and purchases, causing great and serious loss to the manufacturer, who, having prepared complicated patterns, after much time and expense, loses thereby the sale thereof during the season for which they were exclusively prepared and suited; the consequence of which is, the discharge of large bodies of workmen, whereby various classes of tradesmen depending on the preparations of materials to be wrought up in manufacture, as well as on the circulation of wages, are also greatly affected. " The evils produced by general mournings are moreover increased by the anticipation thereof, their duration being thereby lengthened to an indefinite extent. " The effect of wages upon the general trade of the fancy cloth district is such, that immediately on the workmen being thrown out of employment, all other trades partake of the general calamity, and a scarcity of money is the consequence, and a great dulness prevails therefore it is very desirable to keep the trade as regular and steady as possible on all these accounts. Extract of a letter from Coventry : " The consequences of the last general mourning were most dis astrous, both to the manufacturer and the weaver : it came upon us just at the time we had all prepared an unusuallg expensive stock of fancy ribands for the winter trade, and before many had effected the sale of a single piece : the consequence was, most of the fancy weavers were immediately thrown out of employment, as the demand to: fancy goods ceased, at the moment ; the call for black goods was po inconsiderable, and the mourning ordered for so short a time, cat there was no inducement for us to manufacture them : it is an undisputed fact, that three-fourths of the winter ribands raade, remain in the hands of the manufacturers, for to have dis posed of them, such a sacrifice must have been made, that the sale cf a large parcel, had it transpired, would have been ruin to the credit of the party. Of course it would not be prudent to mention names ; but I can assure you, the number of our manufacturers is considerable who have not been able to meet their silk bills, in con- F _quence of their stocks remaining on hand. " The greater part of the fancy weavers have been unemployed, cr nearly so, ever since October. Manufacturers who usually com mence making for the spring trade in November, or the early part of December, having their winter stocks left on hand, have not yet (February) given out silk. You ask me what would be the con srquence of a general mourning in April?' I should say, the de st-action of half the manufacturers here; its effects upon the retail trade, you know better than 1 can describe to you." Extract of a letter from a Spitalfields manufacturer:— " In answer to your inquiries respecting the effects of the late rnourninp, and of public moumings generally, on the silk trade of Spitalticlds, I have only to state that we attribute much of the dia. tress which now exists in that district to that unfortunate event. The silk trade was, from other causes on which some difference of opinion exists, in a very depressed state before the mourning was ordered ; but from that moment all chance of improvement was gone, and thousands of weavers were immediately thrown out of employment. If, however, the mourning had not continued longer than the six weeks ordered by the Earl Marshal, there might have been a partial recovery of bushiest; ; but occurring as it did just at the beginning of the winter, when it is always convenient, in an economical point of view, to continue in black, and followed as it was by the most alarming reports respecting his Majesty's health, no coloured or fancy goods were bought by the ladies during the whole season, and until very lately the greater part have remained in black. •° We have no reason to believe we are in a worse condition than our neighbours in the silk trade ; but it is our misfortune to have on hand a very large stock of gods suitable only for whiter consumption, on the plain part of which we could not now realize more than two-thirds of the cost, and on the fancy part, particularly rich ribands made in Spitalfields, not more than one-half." Extract of a Letter from a Silk.merm and Haberdasher, Regent. " As a silk.mercer and haberdasher I have the opportunity of seeing that the general mournings of this country are serious evils. All my brother tradesmen most heartily wish them abo lished : they have been, and will be, very injurious to us ; none can be beneficial, but must, if continued, be ruinous to tradesmen of small capital. The late general mourning suddenly stopped the current sale of coloured Bilks and other coloured goods, while the greatest portion of customers retained their black until the spring. It was my intention to have given a large order to a Spitalfields manufacturer, in December, for figured silks, to be delivered in April ; but the risk of an illness or a death decided me to wait until April, and purchase them ready made at Lyons. Extensive prepa rations were made by many to bring forward coloured velvets, as the winter' fashion £for dresses ; but the late mourning effec tually nipped that attempt. " You ask me if general mournings benefit the bombasin or crape trade ? Yes, in the case of the King's death ; but in the late mourn ing we did not sell a single bonibuin dress, or a piece of crape, that fashion having long subsided, unless for a near relative." Extract of a letter from a Fancy Feather and Flower-maker. ‘, Understanding that a committee are sitting for the purpose of obtaining a remedy for the ruinous evil of general mourning', I beg leave to submit to you respectfully how much and how severely it ikfult by the trade to which I belong, and myself in particular; in ever; instance (and I have been in the business more than 20 years) it has never occurred without producing the most afflicting conseguCnces to the masters, and above all to those who were in their employ. On the last occasion, commencing as it did at the begin. ning of the autumn trade, the ruin has been complete my hands I ward-ompelled to discharge, and being females employed in a delicate manufacture, nothing butloverty, and perhaps guilt, could possibly follow through a long winter. The goods I had manufactured (the work of many months) are now upon 6y hands, and from their perishable nature will never probably be turned to account ; and :such must be the effect in genet& F..iglit of our mackerel boats put to sea on Tuesday evening, and returned yesterday morning, averaging about 200 lish to each boat. They met a ready sale at about 40s. per hundred. The fish are the finest w•e have seen during the season.—Brighton Gazette. PREVENTION OF HYDROPHOBIA. A plan has been extensively tried at Zurich and Breslau, and many other parts of the Continent, for the prevention of this disease, which consists not merely in cutting out the bitten part—mere excision has been too often found unavailing—but in combining with the ex cision of the part effectual means for keeping open the wound and maintaining it in a state of suppuration during a period of at least six weeks. Other curative means, as the exhibition of mercury, belladonna, or lyltoe, were also employed in these cases ; but upon these little re liance can be placed, the distinguishing feature in the plan of treatment, and that to which its success, therefore, is attributable, being the keeping open the wound for the time mentioned. The following results, taken from the " Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal" for 1826, leave little room to doubt that, although there is too much reason for be lieving that hydrophobia, in the present state of our knowledge, is incurable, that disease may, in a great pro portion of cases, which would otherwise end fatally, be effectually prevented by this plan of treatment. From 1810 to 1824, the number of persons bitten by dogs, ad mitted into the Breslau Hospital, amounted to 184, of whom only two died from the development of hydrophobia. From 1783 to 1824 inclusive, there were admitted into the hospital at Zurich, 233 persons who had been bitten by animals—viz. 182 by dogs, 50 by cats or foxes, and Iby a martin or polecat. Of the whole of these, four only died, two on the second day of admission, and in whom the disease had probably become developed before they were submitted to the treatment ; and the other two were bitten in parts (inside of the cheek and eyelid) where the prescribed means could not be employed with the re quisite exactness. HYDROPHOBIA. Yesterday another fearful scene of the prevalence of hydrophobia was exhibited in and about the New-cut, Lambeth. A small dog, of a brown and white colour, and of the mongrel breed, was seen running in a devious, course, and in a weak state, and shortly afterwards it snapped at and bit a dog that crossed its path. There could be no doubt of the animal being in a rabid state, I and the cry of " a mad dog" from some boys, induced the passers-by to retreat with precipitation into the ad joining shops and houses, the doors of which were in stantly closed, so great and general is the fear of imbibing the horrid disease of hydrophobia. Some boys, however, and three men, with thick sticks, pursued the animal with ,the praiseworthy but dangerous intention of killing it. The dog, being hammed in this attempt, became more ferocious, and some chidren, who were at play in the road, endeavouring to stop it, were bitten. The dog was followed up into Webber-street, where it was driven into a corner, from whence it was prevented escaping by the exertions of several men to kill it with sticks. The animal by this time was foaming at the mouth, and making a spring, seized a young man by the hand, but was instantly struck from his grasp—and, with the aid of broomsticks which pinned it to the ground, it was finally destroyed. The young man who had been bitten, with great determination and fortitude, took a knife from his pocket, and literally sliced out the part which had been lacerated, which was above the little finger of the right hand, and then went to a surgeon to get the wound dressed. The dog that was first bitten escaped, and is thus at large, with every prospect of spreading the fatal poison. On Tuesday afternoon last a dog, in a rabid state, ran through West Drayton fair, near Uxbridge, Middlesex, snapping at every animate and inanimate object that ob structed its progress, when an infant about three years of age, a sow, and three dogs, were severely bitten by him. The ihfant, which was severely bitten on the calf of the leg, was conveyed to Mr. Taylor, surgeon, under whose care it is now placed, and who pronounces it in im minent danger. The rabid dog was eventually destroyed by Davis, a constable of St..lames's, Clerkenwell. About half-past four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a dog in a rabid state was observed running in Sloane street, Chelsea, and he turned into George -street, where it is said he bit two dogs. By this time several persons raised the cry of " Mad dog, mad dog !" following him as closely as they possibly could ; but he contrived to out strip his numerous pursuers, among whom were several constables of the new police of B division, one of whom, with great resolution, struck the furious animal a severe blow with his baton across the head, and he was speedily despatched. On Tuesday evening, as a man named Lawton was re 'turning home from his labour at Eltham, in Kent, just as he entered the town, he met a dog foaming very much at the mouth, and his tongue hanging out. He stepped aside to avoid him, but was unable, and the animal snapped at his leg, but missed it, and proceeded towards Lewisham.. The man made an alarm, and the rabid animal was instantly pursued by many persons, but none were able to come up close enough to destroy him. One of the villagers fired at him, but, unfortunately, missed him. In his career he ran across a paddock, and bit three lambs, and a very fine ewe, that were grazing, the pro perty of Mr. John Smith, the farmer. The lambs and ewe are locked up for the present ; but, notwithstanding the exertions of the villagers, the dog, which was of the terrier breed, escaped destruction, and it was subsequently ascertained the same dog had bitten a little boy at Black heath in the calf of the leg. Yesterday forenoon, a fine young woman, about 19 years of age, named Mary Ann Phillips, servant to Mr. Punshon, the plumber and glazier in St. Thomas's-street, in the Borough, was brought to Guy's Hospital, enduring great pain, produced by the bite of a cat, ',unposed to be in a rabid state. - It appeared that on Monday last the cat was observed by Mrs. Punshon to look very wild about the eyes, and to exhibit very unusual appearances. She sometimes would run up stairs and down several times, and, fearing it was mad, and dreading the conse quences that might befal any of her family, she deter mined upon drowning the animal. The maid-servant un dertook the office, and went in search of the cat, which she found up stairs in the closet. She attempted to catch hold of it, when the animal flew at her, and fastened on her right hand with her teeth: the girl still kept her hold, and ultimately destroyed it. She subsequently felt great pain in the part that had been bitten; and Mr. Walker, the surgeon, was sent for, who advised her going to the hospital. to have the piece cut out ; she, however, delayed going • till yesterday, when finding the pain in crease she went, and the part that was poisoned was cut out, and the patient placed in bed in Chapel-ward, where she still remains in much won : Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, a man having the appearance of the utmost wretchedness, was observed to climb the balustrade of Blackfriars bridge. He had gained the parapet, and waa about to throw himself over into the water when a passer-by caught him, and dragged him backwards. He was delivered over to the police, who found that he was intoxicated. He was retained in custody until his returning senses convinced him of the folly of the rash act he had at tempted, of which he seemed fully sensible. MR. GURNEY'S STEAM-CARRIAGE. Yesterday this novel and ingenious machine was again exhibited in the Regent's-park, the object of the patentee being to demonstrate the difference between drawing and carrying. Latterly it was the practice to use the machine as conducting another carriage, which was attached to it (as in the case of a journey to Bath, and the Duke of Wel lington's carriage at Hounslow.) Yesterday the intention was to show the perfect ease and safety with which the machine itself would bear a vehicle expressly built for it, so that the machinery appeared merely as the axle and perch of the vehicle, and scarcely exceeded in size that now in common use. It was in the form of an open car riage, and contained ten gentlemen. It drove steadily, and occasionally with great rapidity, when the throng permitted, and performed several sharp turns (to use the ' common phrase) with astonishing command of guidance, Mr. Gurney directing at will the small handle or helm : in fact, it may be held and guided by a child. The uncommon fineness of the day had attracted a num ber of loungers in the Regent's-park, and ladies in carriages and equestrians followed the steam-carriage in all directions during its various evolutions, which continued for an hour and a half. A good deal has been said and written respecting the principle of this steam carriage, which however is, after all, not known, although simplicity is its great distinguishing characteristic. It differs from all the other steam-carriages we have seen in two apparently essential principles—it gives more power, while it insures perfect safety. The extreme lightness of the engine combines 19-20ths more power, in proportion to the weight, than Bolton and Watt's engines, and about 16-20ths over Trevathick or Woolf's ; it exposes an im mense heating surface of a peculiarly conducting power, which is effected by decreasing the internal area, and in creasing the external surface of the boiler, by the inge nious construction of Mr. Gurney's plan. The advan tage of safety consists partly from the same principle, but more especially from the form and division of the boilers, which are constructed of tubes, instead of the common plate boiler—a tube, as is known to mechanical persons, only exposes three times its diameter to the internal pressure, consequently a tube of one inch exposes three square superficial inches only, while a moderate plate boiler exposes 1,296; and hence the absence of risk in Mr. Gurney's application of scientific principles. The ease with which the passengers travelled yesterday was like that of a boat, the only noise being that of the fric tion of the wheels of a common carriage on the pavement. The rate of motion continued rather to possess an in creasing power, as the time of the journey lasted. We are informed that the French Government have, within the last fortnight, opened a communication between Bor deaux and the Mediterranean by a steam-engine, fitted in a boat, upon this principle, which has successfully stemmed the current, or rather torrent, of the Garonne. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Juxic 3. Mr. Justice JAM ES PARKE sat to-day for Lord TEN TE RDEN. PATTIRSON V. MORNAY. This was an action against the defendant, for not at tending upon his subpcena in this Court, to give evidence for the plaintiff in a case wherein Mr. Jones, the marshal of the King's Bench, was defendant. The plaintiff ob tained a verdict against Mr. Jones, but it was con tended, in this instance, that the damages would have been greatly increased if the defendant had appeared as a witness. A medical man, called on the part of the defendant, proved that Mornay was ill at the time the plaintiff's cause was tried; but the Jury, under all the circum stances, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501. A number of undefended causes were disposed of. DIXON V. CROOK. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for false imprisonment. The short facts of the case are as follows :—The plaintiff gave orders to the defendant, a coachmaker, to build him a chaise, which order was com plied with, and the plaintiff ascertaining that the chaise was finished, went and took it home without saying any thing to, or obtaining the consent of, the defendant. This step gave great offence to the defendant, and he procured a police officer, and gave the plaintiff into custody, on a charge of fraud. The officer did not use any violence, but allowed the plaintiff to go by himself to the watch house, and afterwards to Queen-square police-office, where the charge, after a short investigation, was dis missed. It was for this imprisonment that the present action was brought. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for the defendant sub mitted that as it was proved there had been no violence used, but the plaintiff dllow•ed to go himself to the watch house and police-office, an action fur false imprisonment could not be supported. Mr. Justice PARK overruled the objection. His Lord ship said it was not necessary to constitute false im prisonment that a person should be taken into actual cus tody. It was sufficient if it was proved that the de fendant said to an officer, " take this person (pointing to the individual) into custody on a charge of felony."— In this case such a charge had been twice given, and he therefore thought the plaintiff entitled to recover. The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—One shilling. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to his Lordship to certify. He thought it was a case that did not entitle the plaintiff to costs. Mr. Justice PARKE refused the application. TOOMBS V. WINTERBOTTOM. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 70/. under the following circumstances : The plaintiffs carried on business as drapers at Chelten ham ; in the year 1827 they found it necessary to com promise with their creditors, who agreed to accept 10s. in the pound. The defendant objected to accept of this compromise, or to sign the deed, unless the full amount of his debt (1401.) was secured to him. After some some negociation the plaintiffs agreed to give him two bills of 351. each; which being done he signed the deed with the other creditors. These bills had been paid by the plain tiffs, who now brought their action to recover the amount back on the ground that the transaction was illegal, as the defendant having signed the deed, it became a frau dulent preference. The facts having been proved in evidence, and Mr. Por.Loc It heard on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Justice PA K E said the plaintiffs were clearly en titled to a verdict of 701. The defendant having signed the deed to receive 10s. in the pound, in common with Ithe other creditors, if there had been any arrangement by which he was to receive more, it became a fraudulent preference, and one which a Court of Law never sanc tion. It was a fraud upon all parties concerned—on the creditors generally, on the insolvent's sureties, and on the insolv•nts themselves. _ . The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 701. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTEnSALL'S. The betting men have not yet sufficieady recovered from ti Derby and Oaks to turn their attention with any effect to spect.la tion on other events, indeed the settling on those races are far fion being concluded, although it " prognoses" with every prospec t 0 a speedy termination. l'riam is in general demand for the St. 1., . ger, and will turn out a very profitable horse to those who ha). backed him at 25 and 30 to 1, and there are two or three who 14 4 him on their books at these figures.

Raby has a strong party, but respecting this horse and Priam a curious question arises as t.) who will ride them, something similar to that which wag starlet respecting Priam and Sheidrake for the Derby, and of much gr,•.‘:,l importance. S. Chifney is bound by his engagement to side fur Lord Cleveland, and in the performance of it must do his b e .; beat Priam, of which he is part proprietor. We presume tl.l. some other engagement will be made before the day. Them xal nothing done on the Ascot cup, as the field is expected to be eery limited, and great uncertainty prevails as to which of the King'. lot will run. The Liverpool Cups are likely to be good betting races, from the unususl number and character of the horses en. gaged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ' QUEEN-SQUARE. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE AT ST. JAMES'S PALAU.. Yesterday morning the inmates of St. James's Palace were threu • into a state of the greatest alarm, in consequence of the extraorJ nary conduct of an Individual who had forcibly entered the Palac„ and fastened himself in one of the apartthents belonging to a gentk. man resident in the Palace. A messenger was immediately patched to this office, from the Master of his Majesty's Household, requesting the aid of the police, to take the intruder into custody, and the Magistrates instantly sent Hall, the officer, to the Palace, who returned in about an hour with his prisoner, and he was plated at the bar before Dlessrs. GREGOR'S and WHITE. The prisoner, whose appearance was that of a gentleman's servara out of livery, on being questioned, replied that his name WWI George Rex, and that he was George the Fifth. No other an,v . •cr could tw elicited from him. Mrs. Isabella Hodgkins stated that she occupied apartments 171 St. James's Palace ; between twelve and one o'clock that aftemoo: the prisoner rang violently at her door, and she answered it. eh! asked him what he wanted, the prisoner replied, " Don't you know me ;" she told him that she knew nothing about him, when he said " I'll make you know me." Thinking his conduct very extmore!i. nary she shut the door in his face. In a few seconds the door a., burst open with tremendous violence ; the doorpost was tom down, and the prisoner walked past her and entered the apartirem• of Mr. Martin, a gentleman in the Lord Chamberlain's Office. .c..! the key being in the door he fastened himself in ; she inmied , att it made the circumstance known, and the door was broken open ,E.LI ! was secured. Mr. Richard Gilbert stated that he was tnastc. of his Maj,bll% household at St. James's Palace, and on being informed of the t ‘. traordinary conduct of the Individual, as detailed by the last a •:. news, he procured assistance and got into Mr. Martin's apartment.. He found the prisoner with nothing on but his shirt ; the whole ,4 the drawers in the room stripped of the wearing apparel, and the pr.. loner dressing himself in Mr. Martin's clothes. lie imtredi.ttely secured him and sent for an officer. Hall, the officer, deposed going to the palace to apprehend tl prisoner. He found a door and doorpost broken down, leading to one of the round towers, which he understood had been done by tilt prisoner. On searching his person he found a purse, containing sovereign, a half sovereign, and a gold ring. Mr. Gannon= (to the priconer)--Do you choose to tell us you name ? Prisoner.—.l have told you before. Mr. GRZGOUIE.—What have you to say to the charge aga:n4; you ? Prisoner.—l don't know what I have got to say; now you 113%. got me here, you must do whatever you please with' me. Mr. GREGORIE.—Have you any friends in London ? Prisoner.—l don't know, I'm sure. Mr. GREOORIE.—What was the reason of your going to St. James' Palace, and acting in the manner you did ? Prisoner.--Why, I thought I had a right to go, they could n,t save me worse than they have done, and you may now do with niL as you please. In answer to further questions, the prisoner replied. he had only drunk one third of a pot of porter that morning, he NA not tasted a drop of spirits. The Magistrates, after consulting together, ordered the prisoneT to be committed to Tothill.fields prison, in default of bail, and a message was SOft to the surgeon of the prison, to examine him at to his sanity. Yesterday morning at four o'clock, as a police con stable of letter Al division, was walking along Kent street, he observed a man lying on the step of a door, ap parently in a dying condition, and on examining his ' pocket, a phial was found containing the dregs of semi laudanum. The policeman having procured another man belonging to the same division, they conveyed the sick man to his residence in that street, and medical assist ance having been procured, it was at once discovered that his illness proceeded from taking laudanum. The sto mach-pump was resorted to, but without effect, owing to the length of time that had elapsed from the period the unfortunate man took the poison until the operation was performed, and he expired soon afterwards. From in quiries subsequently made, it was ascertained that the deceased had purchased five pennyworth of laudanum at the shop of Messrs. Bowling and Walker, the chyniists, in Kent-street, the same afternoon, and he was served with the drug owing to his having described that it AVl*• required for medicinal purposes.
