did not meet me there, however, as enemies, what ever they did in former times.—(A laugh.)---They inquired how I was, and then said, Well, Mr. Hunt, what is to come next ? We shall all be ruined.' To which I replied, You used to say to me and my brother Reformers, when we complained of the condition of the country—let them that do not like the country leave it, and be --:- This language, gentlemen, you have often heard, I doubt not, when you have spoken against the abuses of the Government. This language has been often used. It was said even in the House of Commons by Jack Fuller—(A laugb)— Wel!, Gentlemen, I told my acquaintance at the fair that I heard Gurney's steam-coach would be there. What will come next ?' they said. But can people go in those coaches so as to make them general ?' they inquired. I hope so,' I replied. •We shall be all ruined,' they added. I told them that their oats would presently sell for a qtiar ter instead of 30s. or 355. ; and that instead of get ting 35 guineas for a fine two-year old colt (it is an excellent county for the breed of horses, Gentlemen), they would consider themselves well otf if they ob tained five pounds.—( Continued laughter.)—' What will come next;' they said. However, when Gur ney's stea►n coach did make its appearance, out the people sallied, as you probably know, and committed the injury descr►bed, pelting it with stones, and upsetting the engineers arid passengers.—(Loud laughter.)" The turnings in Essex, and the attack of the steam coach, excite the more surprise that they seem foreign to the habits of the people of this country. The time is not very remote, when a riot could be got up with ease any clay and any where. Millers, butchers, and bakers, thirty years ago, used to be kept constantly on the qui vive, and were astonished when they were allowed to live a year or two unmolested. Instead of be ing surprised at any occasional outbreaking of this kind, we ought to be surprised at the order which prevails at a time like this, when, according to all accounts, there is a good deal of distress in many parts of the country. The weavers, in particular, have long been suffering severely. As men become more intelligent, they cease to become riotous, and hence the comparative forbearance in our times.—lbid. Mr. O'Connell has been, a second time, re- I turned Member for Clare—and that without any opposition ; and we have as little doubt but that he will, in consequence of such return, now take the new oaths and his seat quietly, notwith standing a report which is very industriously cir culated in some quarters, that the Solicitor-Ge neral, Mr. Sugden, has given an opinion that he cannot. If Mr. Sugden has really given any such opinion, let it be produced. Its non-pro ductiou is an almost indisputable proof to our minds that Mr. Sugden has not risked his pro. fessional reputation in the way imputed to him. As for what quibbles or mere technicalities could do in aid of this or any other proposition, we will Hot pretend to say—because there is no pro position, however clear and self-evident, that a subtle lawyer cannot mystify and render doubt ful to his own mind, but the case of Mr. O'Connell's capacity to take his seat now ap pears, as far as common sense is concerned, too obvious to admit of any doubt, except, as we have already hinted, to that habit of universal doubting which doubts every thing. Mr. O'Connell was not allowed to take his seat dur ing the last Session, because he naturally would not take the old oaths, which were the only ones then applicable to the cases of Members who had been elected previously to the passing of the Emancipation Act. That is not Mr. O'Connell's case now. He has now been elected since the passing of that Act, and will, of course, walk into the House of Com mons as Lord Surrey and every other Catho lic Member besides himself have done.— Though we have never been among those indiscriminate admirers of Mr. O'Connell, who laud him on all occasions to the skies, through thick and thin, we are quite as sensible of his real power and importance as they can be, and rejoice at his return to Parlia ment quite as sincerely as they can do. We re joice at it as an act of justice towards the man who has done more to obtain the object so long sought for by the Irish Catholics than all their previous advocates put together ; and who, we think, was shut out of Parliament, by the late Act, in a petty spirit of resentment, beneath the Legislature and legislators. We rejoice, too, to see Mr. O'Connell in his proper station, where he will be no longer the mere mob or Associa tion orator ; but blending his acknowledged to-1 lents with those who are, like him, the professed friends of Ireland, and that in the sphere where real usefulness is most wanted. That Mr. O'Connell will accomplish for Ireland, or for the Empire at large, one half of what he promises, we have already ventured to doubt. Without quoting upon the Learned Gentleman th e wen t, t known adage, that " great talkers do the least," the history of public life convinces us that men of warm imaginations, like Mr. O'Connell, are for ever prone to promise and to profess more than they can perform. We make allowance, of course, for the period of a general election, which is always one of excitement, and the close of which generally furnishes a specimen of the hy perbole of promise-making. Experience, too, tells us, that in proportion to their warmth go do all substances cool ; and without meaning to in sinuate that it will be so on this occasion, we too often find that promises, especially political ones, are broken with a fiicility equal to the eager ness with which they are made.—Morning Herald. We observe it stated in some of the Irish_ ' Papers, and the statement is accompanied by severe condemnation, that several Protestant landlords in that country have begun to act upon the system of supplanting their Roman Catho lic tenantry, kr the purpose of gradually creating a Protestant population on their estates. This is a change which every Protestant landlor4 of Ireland, and, we might add, every Roman Car tholic landlord also, if he at all understands hig own interest, must anxiously desirz to see ac complished ; but it is one which, if it be at tempted without the utmost caution and delicacy, must lead inevitably to great immediate misery and confusion. The mode in which it may be the most easily, secui ply, and perhaps even the most speedily introduced, is by waiting for op portunities, and constantly filling up every va cancy by a Protestant family, rather than by positive expulsions on account of religion, which it will, we imagine, be prudent to avoid, even in the ease of such tenants as are the most bigoted in their dark and noxious su perstition, the most abject in their slavery to the Priest, the most resolute and de termined in their refusal of all other instruc tions than his, for themselves or their children. We are now, of course, speaking of the occu piers of farms of such an extent as implies or' admits of the farmer and his family living in some degree of comfort ; for it is, and we trust always will be, impossible to find Protestant suc cessors to the present Roman Catholic holden of mud cabins and potatoe gardens. The first object of an Irish landlord whose estate is par celled out in this way, must be to throw it into considerable farms ; and in the execution of this difficult, painful, and we fear in too many cases dangerous process, it may be prudent to avoid anything calculated to increase the probability of irregular and illegal resistance. But it is obvious that it might considerably aggravate the feelings of resentment, and augment the tendency to out rage, among the expelled and destitute tenantry, and procure, even for any excesses they might commit, a less dishonourable name and higher sanctions, if, in the selection of tenants to occupy the farms, now become objects of competition among men of some property and consequence, Protestants, merely because they are such, were generally preferred. The preference is in itself no doubt natural, just, and wise, and when shown at the proper time, is sure to prove bene ficial. The proper time, however, we take to be the second stage of the process rather than the first, in the case of estates which are now divided and subdivided into very small allotments. The Protestant proprietors of the soil of Ireland must from this moment never lose sight of the object of patronising and promoting the growth of Pro testamism in that country. For this end they must employ every means in their power (and their means are great), if they wish to recover or to preserve any portion of the authority or in fluence to which their station entitles them, and to relinquish which would be the deepest dis grace, if they wish their country to be prosper ous, and their property valuable—if they aspire to the secure and tranquil enjoyment of their possessions—if they wish the political connec tion between England and Ireland to be perma nent, and to contribute to the advantage of either. But they must employ their power discreetly— they must not be precipitate in their mea sures—they must be cautious how they in flict individual suffering—and be sparing in the exercise even of their legal rights, in cases in which a population highly sensitive, highly excited, little versed in law, and as yet but in differently prepared to respect it, might see nothing but individual wrong. This they must do if they would prevent commotions and out rages, which could not fail to retard if not alto gether to frustrate the accomplishment of their views. In the object of gradually diffusing the Protestant Religion over every part of Ireland, if soberly, rationally, and firmly adopted and pursued by the landowners of that country, they have a right to expect and to claim the utmost assistance in the power of the British Govern ment to bestow. The British Government owes much to the cause of Protestantism in Ireland, and it cannot better discharge this debt than by taking measures to secure to every parish and district of that country, a competent place of Protestant worship, and a faithful, pious, and effec tive Protestant Minister. Let us not be told that these Protestant Ministers would have no hearers. Such men as ought to be employed on this sacred mission would create hearers. If the Government, the Church, and the Protestant landowners of Ireland were to act in vigorous and intelligent unison for the propagation of the Protestant faith, their success would be certain. Many years would not elapse before there would be no parish in the kingdom without a Pro testant congregation. The effect of such a change is incalculable upon the peace and wel fare of the country. The laws would be re spected and obeyed—industry would pursue its steady and tranquil course— wealth would in crease—the nation would be happy, the Go vernment powerful and secure, in the well deserved affection of the people,—Morn. Post. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-WORCESTER, MTG. 3. Thomas Jones was indicted for breaking open the house of John Padgett, and stealing therefrom two coats, one waistcoat, and other articles of wearing apparel, the property of the said John Padgett. Verdict--Guiity.•—Death recorded. Joseph Robert:, a man of respectable appearance, about 70 years of age, was indicted for stealing a sheep and two lambs. Vcrdict—Guilty.—Death recorded. Eliza Treherne, a child 13 years of age, was in- . dieted for stealing nine sovereigns, two crown pieces, and four half-crowns, the property of George Knowles. The prisoner having declined making any defence, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. 3SSAULT-BROADBENT V, RANDALL. Mr. Gonsost opened the pleadings. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant for an assault committed upon him by the said defendant in April last. The de fendant pleaded a justification. Charlotte Butler, examined by Mr. GoDsoN—A was a waiter .at the Black Star at Kidderminster on the 2d of last April, The defendant, his brother, and son, were in one of the rooms of the house. The plaintiff, about two o'clock, want into that room. A Yorkshireman called out "Broadbent" three times, and be then went in. Randall began to abuse him thb moment he went in. He called him a rogue and a thief, and said he had failed two or three times, and that he had paid three halfpence in the pound, The defendant said also that the plaintiff was made for spite and would live for spite. The plaintiff did not answer fora long time, but continued speaking to the Yorkshireman, At last lie said, " I am not speaking to you—be quiet, and do not disturb the company." The defendant said he would kick him out of the room if he did not go out. By the landlady's orders I beckoned him out, and he was corning towards - the doer when Ecndall kicked at him. The plaintiff put out his leg, but -I do not think either of them touched the other. The defendant then struck the plaintiff on the back part of his head with both his fists. The plaintiff stage gered towards the wal,and turned round to see who struck him. The defendant then struck him on the eye and on the mouth. George Smith then went towards the room, when lie received a blow witch knocked him down in the passage. In the mean time Randall closed on the Plaintiff - , and got his head under his arm. tie then heat him most shame fully about the eyes, the temples, and the head. He gave hint blows out of number, and the head of the plaintiff W#.3 past any one's describing, I went twice to separate theca, hut was pushed out, and at last the defendant caught the plaintiff by the arm, ar4 took him into the bar, where he remained quite insensible fo;.• ten minutes or a quarter of an honr. We got him bled, .s,-;t1 put raw beef to his eyes and leeches to his temples. After he was four hours in bed he waz brought down to the pai;o4nr- in great pain, both his eyes closed up and quite blind. ire was then taken home. 114ndal1 is a very powerful man and a ;-spry abusive one; Cross,exammed by Mr. Sergeant Lum.olv,—Mr. Broadbent, as far as I know, is a weak man com pared to Randall, but is as civil a man as ever came into a house. Randall is a very great big man, enough to frighten a man to look at.—(Laughter.) I do not expect to change my name to I3rdadbent.— (A never raised his hand to strike Randall at all. He put his foot out back wards—not as a horse does, for he did not kick.— (A laugh.)l saw the whole of it. I did not see Mr. Broadbent lift the daps of his coat up as he walked out.—( Great laughter.),,l do not recollect his giving Mr. Randall any particular invitation (A laugh),,not to kiss any thing at all.—(Great and Broadbent laughter)--Randall Was at the fire? lid not stick himself between Randall and the fire. I saw him home, but not all the way. Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW—You took care of him.? (This was said very archly.) - The witness hesitated and smiled. Air. Baron VAUGHAN—Is Mr. Broadbent a mar ried man ? Still witness hesitated and smiled, and a burst of laughter issued from the whole Court. Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW—She will not venture to inswer that question. _ _ Witness, suppressing a smile--He is a single man. Lydia Baldwin corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness in almost every particular. George Smith—l was at the Black Star on the night in question, and hearing a noise in the parlour I went in, and saw Randall beatific , the plaintiff with his right mauley, according to the fibbing sys tem.—(A laugh.)—l went and said, " I will none of this," upon which I was instantly knocked down ; and this, Sir, is the severities of truth.— (Laughter.) CAMPBELL—What did the defendant ? Witness—The offendent ! He could do nothing. He could not see through his eyes.—(Much laughter.) Mr. CAMPBELL—WeII ! what did Randall .do ? Witness—He heat Broadbent, and if I had seen a fight between Crib and those chaps I should not have seen half the damage done in such a short time.—( Much laughter.) Mr. CAMPBELL—HOW did Broadbent get away ? Witness—How could I tell ? I was stretched on the broad of my back in the passage, and got off as fast as I could.—(A laugh.) Another witness who saw Mr. Broadbent late the same night deposed to his being most dreadfully beaten, and that it was a month and upwards before he recovered from it. Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW for the defendant—lf he was rightly instructed, should be able to prove that the plaintiff himself was the person who committed the first assault upon the defendant. The Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses William Badger, examined by Mr. BUSBY—I was at the Black Star on the day in question. Randall was in the room, as was also his brother and daughter. Broadbent came in afterwards, and they brought it up to .a quarrel, but I do not know which of them began first. After they had quarrelled a good bit Randall asked the plaintiff to walk out of the room. The plaintiff waited a few minutes, and then went out of the room. As he was going out he lifted up the skirts of his coat, and clapped his hand on his —, but said nothing.—(A laugh.)— Mr. Randall then followed after him, and as he came up to him the plaintiff kicked him on the shin. He kicked back like a horse.—(A laugh.)—At that time the defendant had not struck or kicked Broadbent. They then fell to work. George Munn examined—l was at the Black Star at the time in question. The defendant is a farmer and higgler, and the plaintiff attends the ma►ket. Broadbent came into the room and began to talk to Mr. Randall, not in a very civil manner. He called him " a mass of corruption." The lan guage began on both sides.—(A laugh.)—lt must have begun on one side first, but I cannot say on which. Broadbent called the defendant a grey badger-faced old fellow. The plaintiff is about 35 years of age, and the defendant about 60. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Si. Mr. Serjeant PEAKE sat in the Crown Court, but no case of any public interest took place there. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-SALISBURY, AUG. 3. The commission having been opened on Saturday, ihe Wiltshire summer assizes commenced this day at Salisbury, Mr. Justice BURROUGH presiding on the civil side, and Chief Justice TINDAL in the criminal court. A new Nisi Pries Court has been constructed. It is a spacious apartment, containing ample accom modation for barristers, attornies, jurors, and wit nesses. There is also a gallery for auditors. The principal defect of the edifice is, that (as is but too frequently the case in courts of justice) it has not been very well constructed for the transmission of sound. The Learned Judge who presided com plained more than once in the course of the day of the difficulty he experienced in hearing witnesses. Mr. Justice BURROUGII was engaged the whole of the day upon a case involving a question relative to the use of a water-course. It did not possess a single feature of public interest. There are only nine cases entered for trial. On the criminal side there are forty-one prisoners for trial : the gravest charges are against three in dividuals for attempting to strangle and drown a man named Vines, at Chippenham, and against three other persons for maliciously stabbing and wounding John Foley, at Trowbridge. There are four cases of horse-stealing, and five of sheep-stealing. One prisoner stands accused of feloniously stealing a gooseberry pudding; two others are charged with clubbing to purloin a wooden bottle ; and a prisoner, more daring than the rest, is accused of " having knowingly and designedly, under false pretences, obtained and got into his possession four hempen halters." _ _ --------- John Weeks and William Weeks were placed at the bar, charged with having assaulted and beaten William Brayley, on the 7th of December last, at Martin. William Brayley, a feeble old man, between 70 and $O, was a gardener living at Martin. He knew the prisoners at the bar, and saw them about .nine o'clock in the morning of the 16th of December on the high road near his garden, lie heard the re port of a gun ; the ball struck his coat. Being i n bed the following morning he was awoke at one o'clock by a crash of glass. The windows were broken in by stones. Witness got up, and on look ing out saw the two prisoners picking up and throw ing stones. They were about 1$ feet from the window. Some of the stones struck witness and his wife. (About 16 or IS large flint stones were pro. duced by witness as those which were thrown into the room.) The glazs of the window was broken and the frame shattered. It was a moonlight night, and witness saw the prisoners distinctly, and was positive as tp their identity. Elizabeth Brayley l wife of the preceding witness, corroborated his testimony with Feuard to the parti culars of the attack, and identified the prisone'rs as the parties who made it. • Mr. Saint, fur tle defence, called witnesses to prove an alibi. . pig-jobber swore, that the two prisoners ac, companted him borne on the night of the assault, for the purpose of receiving some money due by witness'to the elder Weeks, and that it being ratty ? he made up a fire, and kept them all night. On his cross-eamination the witness prevaricated, and admitted that he was net pertain that it was on the night of the 16th of December the prisonprs were at 04. house. He " considered it was the 16th because he had been at church, a circumstance not usual with him. 7 --(Alaugio7-ou tie day before, and that was the 14th day of the Inqnth.'? The Learned Judge summed up, arid the Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict of Guilty againf.it both prisoners. 'he eider p - p iapner protested earnestly that he had. never assaulted Op prosecutor. The younger Weeks made a similar declaratit,n, Lor4 Chief Justice TINDAL sentenced the eider Weeks to ss ~.cntbs' imprisonment, and the younger, who might have acted hinciPr the influence of hig f4ther, to three months' imprisonment. John T omp ki n4 was charged with having felor piously broken and entered the 4wellingLhouse of William Cousins, at Compton Bassett, and stolen therefrom 37 spypreirs, and other moneys, his property. Quilty.--7Judgment of death recorded. Simon Sparks was charged with having feloniously • stolen a lamb, the prope rt y of Wm. Edgell, at Trowbridge. Guilty,.—Judgment of death recerded. In the ,course of the day the Grand Jury found a true bill for a misdemeanour, against Win. Chivers, Edward Wilcox ; and Tho Mas Wilcox, charged with hawing feloniously attempted to strangle and drown Jacob Vines, at Chippenham. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LINCOLN, AUG. 3. The - se Assizes commenced this morning at nine o'clock, the LORD CHIEF BARON having opened the commission on. Saturday 'evening. On the civil side the business is eztremely heavy, 33 causes hav ing been entered for trial, of which seven are Special Jury cases. _ _ _ On the Crown Side there were only 15 prisoners' names in the county calendar, and six in the city.— Of the former, two are charged with the murder of their illegitimate children, namely, Ann Baker, against whom the Grand Jury have returned a true bill; and Mary Ranson, aged 40, the bill against whom has not vet gone before the Grand Jury, the witnesses not having arrived before the Court ad journed. JO. l lll Askew, James Askew, John Webster, and Joseph Holmes, were charged with having, in the night of Wednesday, the 18th of March last, bur glariously entered the dwelling-house of Elizabeth Coles, at Gedney, and stolen therein two 201. notes, one 10/. note, and one 1/. note, and IBs. 6d. in silver, the property of the said Elizabeth Coles. The prisoner Webster, who was carried into Court, was so ill as to be unable to take his trial, which was consequently postponed until next as sizes. The other three prisoners pleaded guilty.— The case, we understood, was one of a very aggra vated nature. Thomas Smith was convicted, principally upon his own confession, of having received one of the above 201. notes, knowing it to have been stolen. Joseph Hoult pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged him with having stolen a bay horse, the property of Thomas Spinks. The bills against four other of the prisoners were ignored, and one was found Not Guilty. The two cases of murder, and that of Wm. Sar dison for an assault upon the person of Elizabeth Puttergill, spinster, will be tried on Wednesday, as the Lord Chief Baron intends going into the city to dispose of the business there to-morrow. LEAK V. HUTTON, ESQ., AND OTHERS. This was an action of assault and false imprison ment brought by the plaintiff, who was formerly an innkeeper at Sutterby, against the defendants, as commissioners of bankrupt. In the beginning of 1824, the plaintiff, having lain in prison for upwards cf two months, was declared a bankrupt, and having been examined before the defendants, he refused to sign his examination, neither were his answers satis factory to the commissioners. They therefore com mitted him to Lincoln Castle on the 10th of Feb. 1624, where he remained until March, 1829, when, on application to the Court of King's Bench, their Lordships decided that the warrant of commitment was illegal, as it ordered the bankrupt to be detained in custody until lie signed his exa tnination, and satisfactorily answered certain ques tions, without statit ° r that he had so answ ere d th em . An application had been previously made to the Court of Exchequer on the subject, which was re fused, the Learned Barons being divided in their opinions. In consequence of the decision in the Court cf King's Bench, the bankrupt was brought before Lord Chief Justice Best, at the Lincoln spring assizes, when his Lordship ordered him to be discharged. His attorney's bill for procuring his discharge, and attending the several applications re lating to it, amounted to 771.; and whilst in prison the plaintiff had been placed for ten months, by order of the visiting Magistrates, amongst the felons, and afterwards placed iu solitary confinement. On the part of the defendants, it was admitted that the warrant was, in strictness of law, illegal, in consequence of the accidental omission of a few words, and that therefore there must be a verdict against them. Lord TESTERDEN having summed up the case, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 50/. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—HUNTINGDON, Alla 3. John Smith, aged 28, was indicted for stealing a mare, the property of John Strawy, at Godman cheater, on the sth of October last. The Jury found him Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded. BIARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar market had a heavy appearance last week, and although several large holders have with drawn their imports from sale in the anticipation of better prices, yet the remaining holders were so anxious to effect sales, that they gave the turn of the market as to price in faecal. of the buyer where they could clear off large parcels, which gave the appearance of a gradual decline in prices; the estimated sales were in consequence rather more than usual, being about 3,200 bhds. and trs. The deliveries last week were more extensive than could have bees anti cipated. At the close of the market the estimated sales this day were 1,000 hilds. and trs., including the Barbadoes public sale. The fine Sugars are rather higher. Total delivery of Sugar last week from the three Docks 3,858 bhds. and trs., 10,436 bage. In the Refined market there was no alteration last week in the prices, but the request far low Goods for Hamburg, &c., considerably improved, and nearly all the stock here was disposed of. The pur chases of Fine Goods for home consumption were on a very confined scale, but apparently also improving. Crushed Sugar was also inquired after. Molasses were without variation. The Refined market this afternoon appears to be more firm ; there is more business doing, but no altera tion in prices. .

The Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee Papers, contain the most flattering accounts of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S reception and progress in Scotland, where he is now repeating, in all the large towns in succession, the clugrse of Lectures p the Eastern World, which had already excited so much attention in Liverpool, Manches ter, Birmingham, Bristol, and Leeds, as well as in the Metropolis. His audiences have been as enthusiastic a 4 they haye been crowded : and a:9 Monopoly of the East - India Company appears to find as few defenders or advo- Cates in Scotland as elsewhere.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. The town of Woolwich has been thrown into'? highest state of excitement during the past wee. la . consequence of a fatal accident that happened th e ', l' On Tuesday last, by which the lives of a mother, and her infant about twelv e mo n ths old, have been lost under the most appalling arid loathsome circilr, stances. The poor woman, who r e sided in SpraY,,, s buildings, and was the wife of a shipwright t.); dock-yard, named Wenneis, was precipitated 0 ! her infant in her arms through the decayed floorlog of a privy into the abyss of filth beneath. It screeches and the noise of her fall were heard fit s!")' a woman residing in the next house, who rail O t t " the street and gave the alarm. The first person rushed to her assistance was a band-man of the ItO s Artillery, and he found her still supporting her b abe above the soil, but nearly covered herself. Th e onli help he could afford on the instant was to exhort th e e poor creature to support herself by clinging to O end of a clothes prep which he held down, and till she did for several minutes but ere more effectual be could be procured —overcome, it is imagined, by th e mephitic air—she dropped her babe from her a rtnsf which was instantly o ve r w h e lm e d. Almost st the e same moment, although a ladder had by this . been procured, she frantically exclaimed, " 011 child !" and fell back also. True humanity wA never more earnestly displayed than by the seer!, persons who were present at this pitiable scene. % band-man especially, regardless of his uniform the nauseous difficulties he had to encounter, 0 ' 1 ; the first to descend the ladder, and soon bec or °„" himself half immer s ed. With the assistance of some other persons the unfortunate woman was drawn ?al after having be e n in her dreadful situation at l eas fifteen minutes. The child, however, was not re' covered for some considerable time longer, and ‘ l l of course quite dead. The mother expired in sb ° ..,e, an hour after she was extricated, but had been (1 91. ,, - , insensible to he r s itu a ti on . G rea t blame seems. `; rest somewhere, for it was known for a long to!' previous to the accident that the flooring was r eact' and unsafe, and inde e d h a d be en so reported to t he . landlady of the house, arid by her ordered to be re r newed. No joists whatever were beneath the f l 2 ° ; ; the boards composing which simply resting on t":"„ ends. The funeral, which took place on Sun last, was attended by an immense concourse 7 1 people. The verdict of the Jury is , CoAcCident!l Death ;" but the Coroner strongly reCommended s, inquiry into the liability of a carpenter named P a e ton to a prosecution for neglect ; he having some Ell! before undertaken, it was intimated, to keep the p!. rinses in question, with others belonging to the P al ,. party, in proper repair. THE ARM Y. The following movements of the Foot Guards Will st t e place this day : I leave The Ist Battalion of the Grenadier Guards 10 1 ' - Dublin for Portman-street Barracks.

A fire broke out about ten o'clock last nig"' in the premises at the back of the north s id e o f Lioc c4° , o *. ti inn -fields, which for some time threatened the dangerous consequences. The volume of flame which burning buildings sent forth, cast a lurid glare th a t o great part of the metropolis, and the consequence was' an immense crowd soon assembled to behold the raveg e ,, ° 0 the conflagration. The engines were playing open it ' r ib the end of Little Queen-street, and al s o from the n 41 4 bs higceehr laidwof form e r l y rnmd L e i a n rt lcyoonl throughnbe e ' s - severalph: be i nr n ig n oe - dd o e ot o l ff d p ip e se ttth , hheee t h h nDo e iugusikeirs sb eeotfi jo : so f fs or: engines n. b c we o iT ii i n t lently to the eastward, and at that time the whole f'„iel r sire square of Lincoln's-inn-fields appeared to be c 0 ° „ l i e in fire. It was stated that at that precise moment , of the houses in Lincoln's-inn-fields itself were in i l3° ':• s , but we believe there was no foundation for that rura°;j, Within an hour afterwards the fire had considerably at''' , owing to the number of engines which were PlaYi 9 g':cd to a deluge of rain, which very fortunately was tsbe` g- a i,o upon it. The supply of water was abundant, as wr e fro the supply of pickpockets: During the whole of t he iees we never saw a police o ffi cer present where his sea were wanted ; and the consequence was, that the e rea , re e confusion prevailed in the vicinity. We saw two o r ti as individuals carried senseless through th e cro wd, bat it W quite impossible to learn how far they were injured. Or SECOND SIGHT.—The following 2tTanii count is given as from the mouth of Lord ERSKINIZ to authoress, in Lady MoanAN's Book of the Bow* t r ' g o book, which keeps the reader in a constant feverin:p. cillation between contempt for th e pedantic prete o . l ,,l and absurd affectation, and admirati o n for the or i gdol talent and lively vigour of the writ er I,' said b e et' ERSKINE, believe in second sight, because I bsv, e beCp its subject. When I was a very youn g ma n I ha'..,;pg for some time absent from Scotland. On the / 11 °' - t e of my arrival in Edinburgh, as I was descending the: t ot of a close, on comi n g o ut from a bookseller's shop, `„,le, our old family butler. He looked greatly changed', r oidt wan, and shadowy, as a ghost. 'Eh I old boys . 1 hir what brings you here?' He replied, To meet your re , Hour, and solicit your interference with my Lord not cover a sum, due to me, which the steward at 6111. ..perf settlement did not pay.' Struck by his looks and I ns I bade him follow me into the bookseller's, into aY shop I stepped back ; but when 1 turned round to 9 r - ife to him, he had vanished. I remembered that higniere carried on some little trade in the old town. I re j c li I bered even the house and the fiat she occupied. 1 ",% - t , had often visited in my boyhood. Having made it 0 10- found the old woman in widow's mourning. fi ef h e t band had been dead for some months, and had told g a on his death-bed that my father's steward Lad w r l e ii, him of some money, but that when Master ToN, retur-tod he would see her righted. This I promised to do , 0 , 1 0 shortly after fulfilled my promise. The impression tbe indelible ; and lam extremely cautious bow I. deri bic h possibility of such supernatural visitings' as those ‘ l , the r your Graeo has just instanced in your own family.' fi,off Lord ERSKINE did or did not believe this strange "r (says Lady MORGAN) ; if he did, what a strange abetfios tion of intellect ! if he did not, what a stranger abeq t s from truth My opinion is, that lie did believe I : 3 i p ts had not, however, then learned upon what trifling P iag i human credulity then turns—how little even our ckeinc.on, are our own, and how far the strongest minds ',l o g's' sistent with themselves, and obstinately retain the ears and folds of early impressions."
