TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. sm—The valuable remarks made in your paper o f Wednesda - s, relative to law rEdhrms, induce me to believe that the contemplated changes, not only in the Accomatealt-General's offic7, but also in the abo lition of the Masters in Chancery offict , s, has not es cai,ed your notice. Permit me to draw your atten -6", " thlt your readers, some of whom may be interested in suits that have been in abeyance and sleeping in the Master's office for twenty or thirty years past, purposely kept concealed iu the hops that the parties having claims may either die, or, getting into diffi culties, iniy be bought off before any order for dis tribution is applied for, and then shares may pass into the bends of the lawyer money-lender for one third of the value. By the Act the offices are to be done away with by a certain time, and the Masters are now only retained to wind up the suits in the respective offices. But there is no special proviso that they shall make known and publish in the daily papers a list of the suits undisposed of ard now on the books of the respective offices, awaiting final orders or distribution, so that parties interested in properties kept in abeyance for many years may have an opportunity of coming in before the Master and state their claims. I have been made acquainted that some letters have been sent round to solicitors, with respect to cases in the 3Vtisters' offices, to which their names or that of their predecessors may be attached, and that answers have been returned that the suits were at an end. This would be a very convenient way, and a very summary one for fraudulent lawyers to keep from the knowledge of the Chancellor the reason why these suits have been so long kept dormant in the 'Vlasterie office, and then these parties stealthily to apply for an order just to suit their purposes, and the poor suitor remaining in ignorance, may be told some few years hence that all the matters were wound up long ago. lam watching a case of the above description, where a suit commenced in 1791—an order for a receiver to be appointed, and the case referred to the Master's office —many of the parties interested have died off without receiving their shares ; their descendants, several of whom have been kept in ignorance, have been trapped into releases, and the lawyer in the suit has for-years past evaded the appointment of a receiver, and, the original trustees dying off, he has been put tinz too preceecis of the rentals into his own pocket, without accounting to the accountant-general. He is now dead, and his successors want to hush up his fraudulent *proces dings from the knowledge of the Chancellor, as upon an order they would have to brin 4 no a large amount of arrears in court, and it "Quid be very convenient for these parties to re urn for.. answer to the M a st e r, in w h ose o ffice the suit now lies, that the case wa s at e. as end. eui i Tour remarks upon th above, and insertion, may t socks of your talented re'endeavourdrs to to obtain for poor suitors some. readers with regard to the above subje c t , an d r coter a neat favour.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 1 3 .) SUGAR.—To-day a good demand was experienced for West India Sugar; yet grocers and refiners were enabled to purchase at priees equal to those of Fiiday last. Ope rations are 803 bhds, Bcc., including a t auction 55 h hd3, 18 trs, and 143 brls Barbadoes, which went at full rates; brown at 30i to 31s, and low to mid yellow 31a 6d to 343 6d; 25 brls St. Kitts, fair brown 315 to 31a 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day large parcels of R4ined Sugar were taken for home co:Amp - ion, still there are sellers of brown lumps at 443 to 44s 6d, and low to fine grocery at 44s 61 to 463 61 per cwt. Crushed Sugar met with bolo attention fur shipping, and easier rates are accepted. ManarTrus.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Mauritius Sugar, but privat , ly several parcels were dispo.ed of at full rates. Public sales will take place next week. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon several purchases were m...de privately in Bengal and Madras Sugar, yet no ad vance was established. At auction 700 bags of the former sold at 39s for fine grainy yellow. FOREIGN.—To-day opera , ions were unimportant in Foreign Sugar, still duly paid parcels or floating cargoes wei.e not to be obtained under previous rates. At auction 90 hhcls and 40 brls St. Croix were sold, fine yellow at 403 to 42s 6d, and ord to good 353 61 t0;,383 6d per owt. MOLASSES.—OI West bola only small parcels were tii , po,ed of, and supply is on the increase. Prices for An.igua and Barbadoes rule at 143 to 15s, St. Kitts and Lucia 12s to 133 6d. In Bengal and Mauritius pur chases have been trifling at 126 to 123 63, Porto Rico and Cuba 14s 6d to 15s 63. Tamarinds less in request, and more desire is evinced to sell West India at 243 to 409, East India 7s to 12s, bat supply is not more plenti ful. For Honey there is yet several buyers, Jamaica at 35s to 40s, Cuba 32s to 40$, and Narbonne 50s to 60s per cwt. Cocoa.—The demand does not improve for West India, and previous rates are barely sustained. There are sellers of Trinidad, grey 28s to 325, low middling red 32s 6d to 355, good to fine 363 to 403, and Gre nada sold at 26s 6d to 36s per cwt. In Foreign sales have been small, and a desire is evinced to sell Bahia and Para at 25s to 263, and Guayaquil at 30s to 31s per cwt. Stock is still rather smaller than it was last season. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no improvement in the demand for Native Ceylon by private treaty. At auction the sound of 1,000 bags was taken in at 45s for very good ord, damaged selling at 40s to 42a 6d. There is a quiet market for Plantation, but the currency is maintained. At public sale 48 casks 19 barrels and 39 bags were sold at 503 to 53s for fine to fine fine ord, ord and good ord 47s to 495. Mocha is in greater de mand, and rates are well kept up. A public sale of 750 half-bales went at 76s to 78s for mid to good clean garbled. . _ _ THE COMMON LAW BAR. Before the commencement of Michaelmas Term next, nearly a hundred barristers, hitherto enjoying a moderate share of practice, will have been com pletely removed from the opportunity of competition with their forensic brethren. We allude to the judges of the county courts throughout Eng land and-Wales, who, up to the the present moment, have not been disqualifisd, through their judicial position, from active practice at the bar. Under the Act, however, just passed, regulating the practice of county courts, it is no longer competent fbr any judge of those courts to act as a barrister or special pleader. or to be concerned, either directly or indirectly, as a con veyancer, seilicitor, attorney, cr notary. Many of the judges of the county courts have long ago voluntarily retired from practice at the bar, while not a few have still continued in the strife. The recent changes in the profession—chiely arising from the extension of the powers of those tribunals—are known to have re duced, in numerous cases, incomes of from 2,000/. to 2,500/. per annum to less than 1,0001. per annum ; and many gentlemen of considerable professional name have in consequence become not only ambitious of the position of county court judge, but have even been thoroughly reconciled to the rule which debars them fur ever from practice at the bar. Not withstanding the immense number of members of the bar, amounting to about 2,000, the average number of practising barristers, or barristers laying themselves out for practice, at the common-law bar, for the last ten years, has been about 300, upwards of five-sixths of whom are located within the precincts of the Temple. Granting that only one-half the number of county-court judges have continued till the present moment in active practice, and supposing that, on an average, they did not earn each more than 2001. per annum, some slight benefit must necessarily arise from the recent change to those who have hitherto been obliged to compete with them. Of the 300, ac least 150 never behold the face of attorney or client, or only on occasions " few and far between," so that in reality there age only about 150, who actually en joy practice. Of tibia number of 150, there are about 80 wnose only earnings arc derived from the defence of prisoners, either on circuit, or at provincial ses sions, or at the Central Criminal Court, and not from their skill in the law of nisi prius, or law proper, as displayed in the Nisi Prius Court on circuit, or in the courts of Westminster Hall; 40, again, may he said to possess practice embracing both the defence of prisoners and cases at nisi prius ; and this number, added to the previous 80, makes 120 who are in the enjoyment of very sma ll practices, averaging from 100/. to 6001. per annum. The great prizes of the profession, ar i s i ng from the great bulk of business of the most profitable kind, fall into the hands of about twenty m en ; an d these are the names d a ily seen in the newsp a p er l aw reports. Of these twenty, again,only about t en or twelve are in leading — that i 3, fir st - rate practice ; whits the remaining eignt or ten are o n l y secon d raters. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Sir Frederick Thesiger, Sir Alexander Cockburn may be regarded as th e most prominent of the form er ; but it would be invi dious to mention any other name of Ike number as entitled to greater prominence than their fellows. — Chronicle. SPlRlTS.—Demerara Rata cannot be obtained at a fur ther reduction, still supply is not smaller, and operations have been limited, 33 to 40 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s 2d, and 28 to 32 over at is 10d to is lid per gallon.

The High Sheriff of this ceeety is a itetnan Catholie, and yesterday, in his charge to the grand jury; Lord Cleephell alluded to Oat feet. attd !o the mode in which ho had acted as contradistinguished from other examples. In concluding his charge he said:—Gentlemen--B, fore concluding this address to you I think I am bound pub licly to express the sense I entertain of the becoming conduct of the High Sheriff of this county in his re ception of the judge, You aro aware that he is the worthy representative of an ancient and distinguished family—the Blundells, of Ince Blundell; and that, ad hering to the faith of his ancestors, he is a strict and sincere Roman Catholic. But, reflecting credit on the religious persuasion to which he belongs, he has cau• tiously abstained from doing anything that can be con sidered contrary to the law of the land or offensive to the feelings of Protestants. Instead of obtruding on the judges, as chaplain, a Roman Catholic priest, in the costume of the Romish Church, proposing that this priest should appear in the same carriage with the judges when they go in procession to open the Queen's commission, and that he should sit by them in court as chaplain whilst they administered jastice r during the assiz es , t h e present High Sheriff, to him se lf and h i s family the full benefit of the ministration of the spiritual in structor whom he in his conscience prefers, has made arrangements whereby, both at Lancaster and Liverpool, the judges have been enabled, according to established the rites of the Prot estant religion, b efore the commence uniseagnt?'to join of juidniciinalthbe public worship of God according to business, and have had the benefit of a Protestant clergy man to officiate for them as cheplatu. Happily the High Sheriff can perform all that belongs to the duty of his office without any interference with religious scruples. We do not expect, or wish, the Ro man Catholic Sheriff to attend us to church, or do any thingawhich can incur censure from the guides of his conscience. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable to require that in our presence the law shall not be vio lated, and that due respect should be shown to our feel ings as Protestants. From the benevolent and enlight ened tone of recent legislation all religious disabilities are now done away with, and civil offices, with very few exceptions, are equally open to all persons of all religious denominations. It would, indeed, be a cruel injustice that Roman supremacy o f the State in all temporal matters, were Catholics, whilst they agree to submit to the excluded f rom the full enjoyment of religious li b erty. But for thei r own sakes, and for others, they d o we ll when they avo i d any thing which may reasonably excite the suspicio ns t h at they mean to act aggress i ve l y; an d that they h ave formed a plan for reviving t h e ascen dancy of thei r re li gion in this country. I t may b e h ope d , after the wise example set by my esteemed friend, Mr. Blundell, that the attempt to fasten a Roman Catholic clergyman on Protestant judges will not be made again. To shoe/ the delusion on which this pretension rests, it is enough to point out the consequences to which it ne cessarily leads. Jews and Quakers have filled, and may fill the offices of high sheriff in England; and if the high sheriff is entitled to put into the carriage along with the judges the religious adviser he selects, they may find themselve s r idi ng through the streets of a provincial capital the observed of all observers, with a Jewish high priest sitting by them, or a male or female follower of the society of the sect of Friends, who admit the softer sex to have the privilege of publicly praying and preach ing. Gentlemen, I trust there is no impropriety in ex • pressing cc this occasion an earnest wish that all her Majesty' s su bj ecis of all re li g i ous persuasions should live together in peace and happiness, respecting the rights and feelings of one another, and that they would abstain from thinking themselves persecuted or aggrieved, if they fail in any ill-advised endeavour to attack rivals and to obtain anew, superiority for themselves. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL.) James I?oughley, Charles Mack, Martin Berfern, and Hannah Moore were charged with having, at Manchester on the 14th of Mey last, assaulted and robbed one John William Corcoram, a person who works in a m ill, was I next called, and deposed to having seen the prisoners Edwards and S ater taking an active part in the demo lition of E , fgeley Chapel, and th, furniture in the priest's house. He was cross-examined at great length, for the purpose of showing that he had made ticluais -1 stons to various persons that ho had net been near i Edgeley Chapel on the night of the disturbances, but the cross-examination failed in its object. _ Mr. Mond.: appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner Roughley, Mr. Sowler defended the prisoners Mack and More; the prisoner Heffern was undefended. It appeared that on Friday, the 14th of May, the pro secutor, who is a hawker, residing at Broacibottom, in Cheshire, was at Shade-hill Market, in Manchester, and employed the prisoner Heffern to carry some parcels for him to the railway, but on getting to the statioc, finding that the train had started, they went to a beer-house near, and had a little beer, and then Heffern said that if the prosecutor would go to a vault which was near he would treat him to a pint of ale; they accordingly went to a vault in Spier-street, kept by a man named Sykes, where they had some beer, and the prosecutor took out a shilling and paid for it. He then attempted to leave the vault, and went to the door, when he was surrounded by eight or nine people who were present, his head was thrown back, his waistcoat torn open, and 41 13s. 2d. taken from him, and then all the people ran away. The prosecutor identified the several prisoners as being pre sent at the robbery, and other witnesses spoke to the part each took in it, Mr. ATKINSON and Mr. SONTLER addressed the jury on behalf of their several clients, and two witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoners Mack and Moore, to prove that they were in the kitchen when the robbery took place, and were not near the door. Francis Trevor, a shopkeeper a short distance from Edgeley Chapel, described the general features of the riot in that vicinity, in the course of which he got severely beaten for remonstrating with them on the folly and wickedness of the work of demolition they were pursuing. The Rev. Mr. Frith examined—l am the priest of the Edgeley Chapel. About half-past nine on Tuesday evening, the 29th June, I received some information which caused me to leave my house. I went to the Church Inn public-house, and spoke to the landlord. I then returned home, and soon after a person told me to got out of the way, as the crowd was close at hand. I went into the chapel at once, and removed the sacred vessels to a place of safety. While doing so the windows were smashed, and I heard them hammering at the doors. I then went up into the belfry, and pulled up the ladder and cut the rope of the bell. I was very much alarmed, and remained there three-quarters of an hour. While there, I heard people below breaking the pews and smashing the organ. I also heard thumping at the trap door leading into the belfrey, as if trying to break through. Saw, too, a person pulling down the railing opposite my house, and levelling the brickwork. Seeing a light below, and suspecting the chapel was going to be fired, I got to the roof of the chapel, and made my way to the shelter of a stack of chimnies rising from my house, where I remained till the military came. I then got down to my house through a window. The house was a perfect wreck; the staircases were demo lished; the house strewed with books, papers, and broken furniture; the doors knocked to pieces, and the window sashes and other parts of the house all but demolished. The library and one of the registers of baptisms were destroyed, and the sacerdotal vestments either missing or partly spoiled, There was a fire opposite my house. Cross-examined—The fire was about eight or ten yards from the house. Had heard in the course of the evening that windows had been broken at St. Peter's Church, and I may have expressed regret, and said they might retaliate. His LORDSHIP having sumurA up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Previous convictions were proved against Mack and Moore. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that it was sufficient to make one shudder that such a place as the vault is question should be allowed to exist in such a town as Manchester ; such places could only be endured when they were properly looked after by the police. With regard to Roughlsy , h e h ope d th a t th e p resent case was only his initiation into crimp ; but he must suffer an imprisonment of two years with hard labour. lief fern had decoyed the prosecutor into the yak to rob him, and the other two had assisted in it after having been previously convicted; the sentence upon them would, therefore, be that of transportation for fifteen years. ilary Howley, the wife of a hawker, living in John eet, Stockport, identified Samuel Williamson as having been one of a mob of 400 or 500, headed by a man named Garner, going in the direction of Edgeley Chapel. She swore to having seen Williamson break some windows of the Irish, in John -street, with a staff with which he was armed. Jitne Dowe swore that the mob spoken to by the last witness broke her windows, and then broke into her house. They went towards Edgeley. She lived in John-street. On the return of the crowd they broke her furniture. The prison( rs Birch and he swore were in the crowd, and the former broke her windows.

After the military had returned, Dr. Turn e r myself, and others, went into Rock•row, w h ere 1 :' , found many of the English armed with pieces of broken ) furniture, which were taken from them. The houses in Lock-row belonging to the Irish were wrecked; the fur niture being broken and strewed about the street, a n d the window frames knocked out. Joseph Sadler—Was superintendent of police at Stockport in June last. Remember quieting a distur bance in Rock-row on the evening of the 29th of J une and I after wards went with the magistrates and military' to Edgeley Chapel. Before we got there we could 84 ifire close to the chapel, and opposite the priest's house There were ma persons then moving between us • and thei, fire . Think I saw something thrown into the fire TY e then • quickened our pace, and when we got up, the pweeorpeled.were standing quietly by the fire. The people rsed, and we then started to return to the Court - louse; but in consequence of what we heard on the wa y , we went to the Park Chapel. There was a great cro w d th ere , b u t I did not 6 00 any thin g done - b y any of them. ~ Mary Goodie also proved that Birch was one of the mob hi John -street, and that he said to her, that they would murder an destroy all before them, and behead the priest as well. John Mulvey, between 10 and 11, t , aw the crowd coaling from Edgeley Chapel, aster the demolition, and amongst Lh.m iuenttfied Joseph Birch, who held in his hand a piece of wood covered with white cloth, as if it had been part of a broke❑ seat, or something of that sort. Ellen M'Donald, living near Edgeley Chapel, stated, that on Tuesday, June 29, she lett service at Edgeley t.Thapel about halt-past 8 o'clock. Saw a crowd in Ed wai d street, coming from the Billgate going towards Wellington-road. Heard them say they wondered where all the b— Irishmen wore—they w: re all a-deep or gone out of town. Saw a crowd standing between J..dward street and Johu•street, and heard tneua say the same. One said " they are rot gone out of town, there is mass at the Catholic chapel, and we'll go and light up." They :aid if they got hold of old Frith they would kill him. Others said, let's not go to the Catholic chapel, let's go to Rock-row." After that saw a mob in Hoek row, and bear❑ them say " let's go and knock the Ca tholic chapel down." She also proved having seen Thomas Walker assisting to knock in Edgeley chapel door with a staff, when the crowd were attacking that place of worship. The crowd got in, and soon atter Walker returned with a brass cross in his hand, which he broke on the flags. Rose Ann Macdonald confirmed the testimony of the last witness as to the identity of Walker, and the part he took at Edgeley Chapel. Margaret Marlow swore to the prisoner, Samuel Preston, as the person who broke open the poor-box in Edgeley Chapel, and take something out during the riot. Theresa Harney, a factory girl, swore that the pri soner, Mark Gleave, was ono of the persons stirring up the fire opposite the Rev. Mr. Frith's house while the priest's vestments were burning. About half-past one the next morning she saw him, with a number of other persons, breaking into cellars inhabited by the Irish in the vicinity of a place called Walker's•yard. The party remained there two hours. Alice Divine, a washerwoman, proved that she had seen Gleave coming out of the vestry of Edgeley Chapel, while it was being attacked, with a flat stick in his hand. John Barlow, a bricklayer, deposed that he saw Wil liam Walker (one of the prisoners) when the Edgely Chapel was broken into. Witness told Walker that sort of work would not do, and Walker said it would not, and he would stop them. Be went to the crowd, and did stop them from breaking any more of the school windows, but directly after he went to assist in kicking in the door of the chapel next the school. _ . John Stanton swore that William Walker was one of a party of men who during the riot assisted to pull down the railing opposite Mr. Frith's (the priest) house. After he had done, he said," Now fetch out the b—y old priest, and we'll crucify him." The door of the house was then broken open, and the people went in. Abraham Longson, one of the Stockport police, proved that during the attack upon Park -street Chapel he saw George Pell, after the pews had been demolished, striking at something on the wall with a piece of heavy wood, and he took him into custody immediately. He apprehended Gl e ave on the 2d of July, who denied having ever been at Edgeley Chapel until four in the morning. Thomas Whalley, a shoemaker of Stockport, proved that William Bullery took part in the disturbance at the Park Chapel, and he at once took him into custody. Inspector Walker, of the Stockport potice, proved that the iron safe from the Edgeley Chapel bad been brought to the Court house for safe custody on the night of the riots. It was empty, and part of the lining was torn out. He also produced a heap of frightful looking bludgeons found in the Edgeley Chapel aftor the riot. Thai e were feud 86 bludgeons, 3 pokers, and a mason's chisel. This closed the csse for the prosecution. There are 50 witnesses for the defence, and the case is not expected to finish until hste this evening. POLICE IN TEL LIGENCE. B 0 W-S TRE ET. Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency, commonly called Lord Frankfort, of 14, Buckingham-street, Strand, ap peared before Mr. Henry upon summons charging him with having " unlawfully composed, printed, and pub lishee a foul, malicious, and defamatory libel of and con cerning Lord Henry Lennox." Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to support the charge, and Lord Frankfort, who kept the Court wait. ing some time before his arrival, conducted his own defence. Besides the noblemen and gentlemen interested in the case, we observed his Serene Highness the Prince Ed ward of Saxe Weimar and Lord Arthur Lennox upon the bench. Mr. Humphries said—l have the honour to attend on behalf of Lord Henry Lennox, who has to complain of a gross and defamatory libel published on divers occasions, which, in a public sense, is an outrage upon decency and morality, and I much regret that his Lordship has been called upon to answer such a charge. When Lord Henry Lennox first received one of the offensive documents, he was disposed to throw it aside with that contempt which a gen tleman would naturally feel on seeing it; but on ascertain ing the extent to which the libel had been circulated, not only among the nobility, clergy, and gentry, but among ladies of title and distinction, his Lordship con ceived it to be his duty to take such steps as would lead to the discovery of the libeller, and the preventio n o f the annoyance and pain which these disgusting effusions had occasioned in so many respectable families. lam almost sorry to say that I shall be able satisfactorily to show that they have emanated from Lord Frankfort. The libel is in two papers—the first containing a list of names, headed by that of Lord Henry Lennox; and the second, a statement in the third person, purporting to be written by Mr. Macbeath, of 3, Vigo-street, solicitor. [Mr. Humphries here read the documents, which appear in the evidence.] I shall call the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie, who feels the duty to be a most painful and repugnant one, to prove that one of these letters—indeed several — had been received by him; and I shall be able to show that the female servant of Lord Frankfort was de tected in putting into the post esffiee as many as 59 letters of a precisely similar character, and nearly all of them addressed to clergymen in different parts of the country. The servant readily admitted to the detective officers, who had been set to watch her, that the letters had been given to her by Lord Frankfort, with instruc tions to post them, and that she had been constantly in the habit of posting such letters for some time past. I need hardly add that the names which have been in serted in the libel have been used without the knowledge and, of course, greatly to the disgust and annoyance of ' the parties themselves. The Rev. Mr. Mackenzie, vicar of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, was the first witness examined. He said: I pro duce three envelopes, with enclosures. which I received by post on the 21st and ted of July last. They contain eight printed papers, six of one kind and two of another. The third of these envelopes I did not open until yes terday, having had my feelings offended and my ey es Polluted sufficiently by the two first. I hope it may n o t be necessary to read them.

I have nothing to hide, and nothing to ask. Lord Henry Charles George Gordon Lennox examined —I live at 51, Portland-place. I have received a letter signed by Harris and the other names, similar to the one produced by the last witness. I knew nothing of any of the parties until I received letters from Mr. Harris and Mr. Macbeath, complaining of the use made of their names, and repudiating it. Mr. Humphries—l need hardly ask your Lordship if yo have ever authorised the use of your name. Mr. HENRY—It is quite unnecessary, even in law, to give negative testimony as to the imputations contained in the libel. THE COUNTRY IVIARKV,TS , WAKEFIELD.

Lord Henry Lennox—l know nothing of any of the publications or of the parties named in them. I have been goaded on to appear in a court by the nuisance in flicted on others, and for the protection of the public. Otherwise I should have taken no notice of so con temptible a production. Defendant—l have nothing to ask his Lordship. Sergeant Thornton, of the detective force, said—ln consequence of instructions which I received, I went into Buckingham-street, Strand, on the afternoon of July 22. I knew that Lord Frankfort lived at No. 14, and watched the house. At a quarter to eight in the even ing, being then in company with Inspector Field, I saw a woman come out of his Lordship's house, with a basket in her possession. I followed her to the Post-office, Charing-cross, where she produced a handful of letters (five in number) from her basket, and was about to put them in the letter-box when I took her hand and pre vented it. We took possession of the letters and the basket, end desired the woman to accompany us to the pelice-stiition in King-street. The basket contained fifty-nine letters (including the five) several of which I have opened. They contain the same kind of papers as those which have been produced by the Reverend Mr. Mackenzie. Each ;of the letters bad a postage-stamp upon it, and they were all, I he lieve. addressed to clergy men. Inspector Field had some conversation with the woman, which he will state. After this she was allowed to depart. Mr. liENßY—There will be no occasion to open the remainder of the letters. One is as good as fifty fur the purposes of the prosecution. By his Worship—After we released the woman she returned to Lorn Frankfort's. Field and myself went back with her at her request. The servant rang the bell, and when his Lordship came to the inner door, she called to him, "My Lerd, the police are here." We all went in together, and I think Mr. Field told his Lord ship what had passed. I had been watching the house several days previously. Inspector Field, or the detective force, said—l sec:en paeied Teornton to Buckingham -street on the 22d of July. Before the woman came out with the letters I saw Lord Frankfort come out of the door and look up the street. On stopping the woman and asking her where she bad brought the letters from, she replied, " Why, you ought to know." I said, " How do I know ?" She said, ' Why from Lord Frankfort's. I expected he would get into a mess some of these days." I then took her down to Scotland-yard, and opened the two letters produced, in her presence. She made a state ment, which I took down at the time as follows: "Statement of Mary Taylor: I am a single woman, residing at 7, Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-square. I have known Lord Frankfurt for many years, and I have been employed by his Lordship in the capacity of servant. On this evening his Lordship gave me a great number of letters, and told me to post them at the Post-office, Charing-cross, which I was doing when I was seized by the officers. I have repeatedly posted letters similar to those found upon me." I then went (continued the witness) to Lord Frankfort's house,as the woman wished me to go back with her, saying, that if I got into the house I must be very careful of him, as he was dan gerous. I understood her to mean that he would be dangerous to me. Lord Frankfort —She came home between these two officers, and another policeman behind. Witness—l took a constable in uniform with us, in consequence of what she said. She rang the bell, and his Lordship came to the door, but he did not see us. She told him we wore the pence, and we heard him say, " She is not my servant; she is a woman that chars for me." We did not go in with the woman, so the door was shut in our face. I saw the woman come out about twenty minutes afterwards, and have seen her several times since. Mr. HENRY—Is the woman here? Inspector Field— She is not, your Worship. Defendant—Then why is she not here? Inspector Field—Because you have got her somewhere out of the way. Mr. HENRY—Rave you tried to serve her with a sum mons? lospector Field—l have made repeated attempts to do so, but she is nowhere to be met with. We tried the address which she gave at the station, but she was not there. John Gray, 25, Guildford place, Bagnigge- wells-road, examined —I was formerly a police-constable, and am now living upon the superaunuation pension. I have known Lord Frankfort many years. I saw his Lordship on the 21st of July last, and then made an appointment to see him o n a private matter on the following day. I did not call again, however, until the 23d. I took down a conversation which I had with him imme diately atter leaving him. After disposing of our pri• vete business, he said, What sort of a man is Field, of the detective foree?' I said he was a stout man, and described him. Re said " Who is the next great man on the detectives?" I said " Shaw." He said " They came here two or three days ago. My servant was putting some letters in the post—no (correcting himself) not my Servant, I mean a woman under my protection —my charwo man . Th ey h ave comm i tte d a highway robbery on me. They have taken my stamps—no, not mine, another gentleman's who I do them for, and she posts th em . I s h a ll see a b out i t , an d ma k e t h em give compensation for false imprisonment." Defendant—There is not one word of truth in what this man says. I certainly asked what sort of a man Field was, for I considered him a very hasty-tempered man. Mr. HENRY—You had better reserve your statement till after the examination. Witness continued—On the 27th July I saw Lord Frankfort again, at ten o'clock in the morning. He said, "Do you know Sergeant Harrington?" I said" No; there is Sergeant Thornton." He said, " Ah, that's the name. I wish you to see them, and request them to come here and make an offer of compromise; for they have done wrong. They are not to offer too large a sum; for if I think it too much, I shall take off half. If they get iato the bands of a low lawyer they will have to pay a good deal; for supposing the letters contained treason, there was nothing in the publication that e could hurt me, as I h a d a d v i ce upon n _ subject.

I simply told him that the poor woman was going to put it into the hands of a lawyer. Mr. Humphries stated that it was the wish of Mr. Maebeath that he should be examined. Mr. HENRY — Certainly, I think he ought to be. M r . W. Macbeath, solicitor, 3, Vigo-street, Regent street, examined—A number of these letters have been forwarded to me by post, by my clients and others, and I wish to state that I have never given any authority for the use of my name in this way. By Mr. HENRY—The fact is that on a former occasion Lord Frankfort gave me a number of other letters re flecting on other people's characters. I know his Lord ship's handwriting. On looking at the writing on the envelopes produced, I should say that it resembled his Lordship's, but had been greatly disguised, as may be observed. It i s my belief that th e y resem bl e hi s Lord ship's h an d , b ut if you will allow me to compare them with his writing I shall be better able to say. Mr. HENRY —You cannot do that; it would be illegal. Witness —It was decided in the Queen's Bench that we might refer to a man's writing to refresh our recol lection of it.

A correspondent of the Morning Post writes as follows from Paris—his communication being dated the 6th inst.:— " At the moment that I am writing this, all that remains upon earth of one who had long filled a great space in the world's eye is consigned to a narrow grave. Count Alfred d'Orsay died at an early hour on Wednesday morning, and is to b e b ur i e d to -d ay , at noon, at Chambourcy, an estate belonging to his sister the Duchess of Grammont, near St. Germain en-Leye. Some time ago he caused a tomb to be constructed for himself in that calm, beautiful, be loved spot. "As one who knew Count d'Orsay for the long space of thirty years, I cannot do less than pay some alight tribute to his memory. He was, as every one ginal thine knows hearted , a most elegant , accomplished person —a poet, w l o p r Linter, sculptor, and man of wit; but, what designer, • all the does not know quite so well, he was a man of deep thought , a well-skilled politician, an ori au-d, and, above all, one of the kindest always engaged generous of mankind. He was he h a d ,:'g "' he some generous deed. When applied to him in uncalculating lanhde eve it with a most liberal, h e gave his hand he had little, or none, wealth at command. I in. whichivain his earnest exertiong, valuable advice, his sympathy, sand absolute in fluence with th ose w ' bo had full ' benefit of his in never knew a case in whichor any other un a friend, Germans W' to cit:,)untFymen, he r : a : u n e d d I who re Ms charity fortunate person, cosmopolitan and universal, rvaemryiliensufmroemroudsistcrears w as truly to Englishmen as well as to his ow r o sal, "tending to Italiens as well as to Germ well 113 to Poles, to e Turks as well as to ehrius.sians as short, to all mankind. It was not limited or un i t e d or swayed by a ny political feeling or predilection ;it ayed . signified a man were Conservative, w nothing whetner ye, hig, or 1 ' t Radical, Bourboniat, .Or earns , Bonapartist, R eaua. lican if he were only in e " lican, or Red Eepub f hedistress never could or in want of any assistance , apply in vain to Count d'Orsay. "The Count had a sweetness of temper which won all hearts, and smoothed down the asperities of other men.
