CUNDY 'S PATENT OPEN FIRE VENTILATING STOVE. (Testimonial after one Winter'm St. *TOWS, Fulham, 51 . :1y 2, 1846. "My dear Sir,—l have very great pleasure In giving my public testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventil►ting any large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to be in theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have not yet discovered the point In which the practice falls short of th• theory. " The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already erected has fully answered my highest expectations, and realised all that you have given me to expect. If confirmation were needed for evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made, and that every attempt had pre.ved a signal failure—that I was ex posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled others; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice, and have beard only of approval with unanimous consent. "I might add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect ng your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un- favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter, where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach to approval must carry with it great weight.

The LORD MAYOR—Before a ny further proceeding -with this bill, -I-call upon the Recorder to read to the Court a communication which he has been ordered to make by myself and my brother Aldermen. Much dissatisfaction was expressed by Mr. WIRE and several other members of the Court at what they con sidered to-be an unfair interruption to the usual course of proceeding in matters of corporate legislation. Th,e RECORDER proceeded to read th e commun i c ation referred to by the Lord Mayor, amidst frequent cries of 4 ilco, no," and other evidence of dissent t from the great majority of the members. The Learned Gentleman stated that the paper related to the bill which had been just named, and the Court at length became tranquil and listened to him. The following is a copy of the communication :-. " Carroll, Mayor.—An especial Court was held on Wednesday,-the 16th day of December, 1846, and in the 10th year of the reign of Victoria, of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, &c. " Resolved,—That after mature consideration of ;all the circumstances of the bill entitled A Bill to declare the Qualification of Freemen of London to be elected Members of the Court of Common Council,' the Lord Mayor and Aldermen are of opinion that such bill is contrary to the customs, charters, arid laws of this City; and they do hereby declare their dissent from the bill, and from any further proceedings therein. " Resolved,—That the Recorder be ordered to com municate the above resolution to the Court of Common Council. " MEREWETHER." Here there was a loud and general call for Mr. Wood, and several members cried out " Proceed with the bilk" Mr. WOOD rose with the bill in his hand, but The RECORDER stepped forward, and said—The Lord Mayor directs me to say that he cannot put the motion for the third reading of the bill, and he cannot allow any further proceeding with the measure, as he has already concurred with his brother Aldermen in declaring that it is against the customs, charters, and laws of the City. Sir PETER LAURIE —I beg to say that I do not agree with the Lord Mayor and my brother Aldermen in their view of the question.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—Sir Peter Laurie was not present when the subject was discussed. All the Aldermen who attended agreed in the propriety of the resolutions just read. Mr. Joart Woon—My Lord Mayor, I move that the bill be read a third time.—(Loud cheers.) Sir PETER LAURIE—I second the motion. The Lutro MAYOR—I cannot put the question. Some of the members attributed to the Recorder the course of opposition which it was obvious the Lord Mayor intended to persevere in, and said that the Court could proceed without the assistance of the Learned Gentleman. Deputy CORNEY submitted that the dissent of the Court of Aldermen post ibly proceeded from some techni cality, which a communication between the two courts might have the effect of removing; and that, by a kindly co-operation, the bill might be passed in a somewhat altered form, to which no objection could be reasonably started.—(A. few cries of " Hear, hear," and over whelming shouts in the negative) In tbe absence of the reasoning of the Aldermen upon the subject, a depu tation to that body might set the question at rest.— (Loud cries of" No," and laughter). What was the use of a bill which, when passed, might prove to be a nullity f —(General murmurs, and cries of " Move, move.") He then moved that a dFputation should be appointed to confer with the Court of Aldermen upon the subject. The amendment having been seconded, and The RECORDER having risen to put the amendment, Mr. ASHURST started up and charged the Learned Gentleman with having always shown a readiness to ad vise the Court of Aldermen in matters opposed to the views of the other branch of the Corporation. He knew that the opposition of the Aldermen to the present bill arose from their apprehension of another bill which they were aware would follow, and which would prevent them from dipping their bands into the pockets of their fellow citizens.—(Loud cheers.) The RECORDER indignantly disavowed all notion of advising any course that was not calculated to render service to buth branches of the Corporation. Mr. ASHURST said he did not mean to give any per sonal offence to the Recorder, but the words he had just used were substantially correct. The RECORDER said he had distinctly represented to the Court the difficulties which, upon the perusal of the bill, struck him as insurmountable. He bad delivered his opinion without reserve, and he considered it ex tremely uncandid as well as unjust to attack a public officer, whose duty and anxious study it was to do all in his power to protect the privileges of every branch of the Corporation.—(Hear, hear, and murmurs.) Mr. WIRE repeated the statement made by Mr. Ashurst, and accused the Aldermen of having employed a professional man to assist them in riding over the rights of the citizens, and in asserting a power which they did not possess. Mr. ANDERTON cautioned the Lord Mayor against the alternative of vacating his seat before tbe decision of the Court should take place. If his Lordship pursued that course the Court would doubtless imitate the conduct of the Common Council of 1648, when the Lord Mayor having refused to put a motion at their request, they went direct with a petition to the House of Commons, complaining of the contempt, and they there received the warmest assurances of support, and the warmest commendations upon their independence.—(Cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE said that the very manner in which the Court of Aldermen had made the communication was as offensive as words could make it.—(Hear.) Mr. R. L. JONES condemned the course taken by the Court of Aldermen, whom he accused of neglect of their duties in not attending the committee in the progress of their labours. Alderman WILSON said, it appeared from the language used by the Court, that they considered the Aldermen had objected without reason to the bill, which was by no means the fact. They were opposed to it from• the commencement, but they waited till they had an oppor tunity of examining the words in which it was framed. They had taken counsel's opinion as to whether they could be consenting parties to such a measure, and they were told that it was in direct opposition to the usages and customs by which the Corporation was governed. Here the amendment was put, and after great confu sion and noise, there was a cry of " Divide." Mr. Via and several other members begged that the Court would not divide, and intimated that a manoeuvre was intended by which they might be betrayed into an error. Alderman SIDNEY said no man more respected the privileges of the Corporation than he did, and therefore he opposed the bill. The power assumed by the Court the of Common Council could only be exercised by the Le gislature itself. and S he Sir P. was L preparedAUltrEsai t d o shuephpeoarrttil bill which was toy supported the bill, follow.—(Cheers.) After some observations from other memb ers the utmost confusion prevailed.

Laurie) on the bench, and the presence of three Alder men is necessary to ccnstitute a Court. It was stated by some that there was an alderman in the adjoining room, and the Lord Mayor was requested to send the mace bearer to compel the attendance of that gentleman. His Lordship declined to do so, and said that he could not stultify himself by puttingo question the privileges of the which he and his brethren considered to be of a nature Lordship then left the court. citizens.

The following account of a most dreadful shipwreck has been sent to us by an eye-nitnessi— NEnQUAY, NEAR ST. COLUMB, CORNWALL, DEC. 16. —Alexander M'lntosh and John Salmon, two of the unfortunate sufferers of the Hope, of Liverpool, Jones, master, left Camarane Bay, coast of Paragonia, South America, on the Bth of August, 1846, laden with guano, bound to Liverpool. The vessel touched at Rio de Janeiro on the 4th of September, and sailed on the 18th. On the coast of Ireland she encountered heavy gales and snow showers, and on the 7th inst. struck on Wick low Banks, when the crew were obliged to leave her. On Thursday, the 10th, Lloyd's agent, perceiving her to float, and thinking all was right, insisted on the crew going on board, and proceeding to Liverpool ; but finding the vessel in a sinking state, they were com pelled to leave her the same afternoon. Sixteen men left in the launch, the captain and nine others occupying the gig. The crew of the gig, it is supposed, were picked up by a schooner the same evening. Unfortunately the launch, with the sixteen men on board, was driven before the wind, with nothing more than a small sail and an oar, without any provision or water. At noon on Sun day, the 13th inst, the Coast-guard officnrs at Mawgan Porth, North Cornwall, observed a boat drifting towards the shore, about four miles eastward of Nevrquay; n hen Mr. Hodge, officer in charge of Mawgan Porth station, sent a messenger to Newquay requesting the assistance of a boat, but owing to the eather, and it being nearly low water, no boat could get out. Mr. Llewellyn, the officer of Newquay Coast-guard. station, with his crew, assisted by Mr, Marshall, officer of Customs, repaired to the spot with Dennett's Rocket Apparatus; but fortu nately before their, arrival, by the assistance of the Coast guard and the inhabitants assembled, they had landed; but, sad to relate,' only six were living, ten lying dead in the boat. Thl'six surviving' sufferers were instantly conveyed to the Coast-guard station, Mawgan Porth. under the superintendence of Mr. llodge, the officer in charge, where every humane assistance was paid them, and they are likely to do well. Names of the living—Alexander M•lntosh, Inverness; John Salmon, Dublin; John M'Auley, Stornoway; G. Meikle, Fifeshire; John Arrowsmith, Liverpool; An drew Holst, Norway.

On Saturday morning, information was given at the B division policy station, to the effect, that as Mr. Peter Roylance, pravisien merchant, Hanging Ditch, was pro ceeding hcrne on Friday evening, between pine and ton o'clock, he was robbed of a gild watch and seals, while between the weighing machine and the first toll bar, en the Bury New road. The robbery, it was stated, was effected by three men, who struck him violently on the back of the head, causing a great effusion of blood; and another blow, he said, dislocated his shoulder. In con sequence of immediately becoming insensible, he said he could not describe any of the men. As soon as the in formation was received at the police office, Mr. I3eswick, the chief superintendent, despatched Inspector Al‘Mullen to make inquiry into the case, and he learned from Mr. Roylance that he had walked from Plymouth Grove to Broughton-lane, on the evening in question, having called and changed a sovereign on the way, at the Legs Man public-house, at the bottom of Portland-street. From subsequent inquiry, however, it was ascertained that he did not change the sovereign at the Legs of Man, but at the Strangeways The above are such particulars as we could learn of this singular case on inquiry at the police-office. On making inquiry yesterday morning of Mr. Roylance, we were informed that his father, after visiting a relative in Fl) mouth Grove, left that house about a quarter or half past eight o'clock in the evening, and proceeded straight homeward; his son atating that he is not at all aware that his father called at the Legs of Man, or changed a sovereign anywhere, save at the Strangeavays toll-bir. About a quarter after nine o'clock, just as he was passing the shops and beer-shop at the corner of Broughton lane, he was struck, from behind, a heavy blow en the head or shoulder, he does not remember which, from the effects of which he fell, and then saw three men about him, but almost immediately became insensible. On re covering his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, and he got up, suffering much from the in juries he had received, which he believes to have been inflicted by some blunt instrument ; and he sup poses he must have received several severe blows, as his shoulder bone was fractured, and he bad also two or three severe bruises on the head, and he bled very much from the head and shoulder. On recovering himself, he found that his gold lever watch, with gold seals and key, attached by tv black rib bon, was missing ; that the right pocket of his trowsers was torn open, and a number of small keys, which were in that pocket were gone. He had then two sovereigns in his waistcoat pocket, and a little silver money ; but he supposes they were alarmed and ran off without searching his pockets minutely. He subsequently pro cured a cab and reached home a little before ten o'clock. Such is the statement of Air. Roylance himself. We have still to notice those given by the toll bar keeper and by a cab-driver. The bar-keeper says that Mr. Roy!ance was twice at the bar-house that evening, the first time about half-past nine or twenty minutes to ten, and the second time in about ten minutes afterwards. The first time he knocked at the bar-house door, and on the keeper coming out asked him where the gate led to. The keeper told him, to Broughton, and Mr. Roylance then asked if the way to Broughton was not in that di rectiuu (pointing towards the town), and being told that it was the other way. he thanked the keeper and went on towards Broughton From this circumstance the bar-keeper believed Mr. Roylance, who daily passes up and down the road to his residence, to be in a state of intoxication. A few minutes afterwards, a cabman, named Emanuel Birkbeck, on passing through the gate with his empty cab, after taking a fare to Broughton, told the bar keeper that he had just seen Mr. Peter Roy lance, in Broughtcn lane, and that he said he had been robbed of his watch. Nothing more passed at the time, and Birkbeck drone on townwards. A few minutes aft, r this, as another two- wheeled cab (the bar-keeper thinks the number is 94, painted in black figures on the yellow body of the cab) was also returning empty to the town, when Mr. Roylance again came up, and hailed the driver, and asked him if he could take him home. The driver said he could, and Mr. Re) lance then asked the bar-keepsr to give him change for a sovereign ; and, this being done, he got into the cab, stumbling in doing so, so that the bar keeper still believed him to be intoxicated, and was driven off. Neither on the first nor on the second occa sion that he saw and conversed with the barkeeper, did he say anything of having been robbed ; nor did the bar-keeper observe any blood about his head or neck. On these circumstances becoming known to the police, inquiry was made of Emanuel Birkbeck, who states that he was returning townward, along Broughton-lane, he was hailed by Mr. Roylance, near Lodge's nursery gar dens, about a quarter before ten o'clock at night. Mr. Roylance told him he had been robbed, and wanted to engage the db to drive after them. Birkbeck said he would givehip every assistance he could, and asked if he should drive him home. Mr. Roylance said he might; but he refused to go inside, and said he would sit on the box with the driver. Birkbeck was then seated, and Mr. Roylance was climbing up when the horse started off; Birkbeck pulled up ; but Mr. Roylance lost his ba lance taxer the box---aerees--BiAthet•k's legs, and pitched' with - bb .heaff,trad-shoulder foremost on the ground, on the opposite side of the cab to that on which he was climbing. Birk beck says he saw he had cut his ear with grazing against a part of the cab in falling; but ho got up again, and declined to go in the cab, so Birk beck proceeded on his way towards the town. We shall offer no comments on this singular matter, further th to add, that it is probable some at least of the severest personal injuries sustained by Mr. Roylance were the result of his fall from the box of the cab. That he has been robbed of his watch there can be little doubt ; but how, by how many, where, and with what degree of vio lence, are matters which the above circumstances leave enveloped in doubt. Mr. Roylance has been attended since Friday by Mr. Thorpe, and on inquiry yesterday morning we learn that he is progressing favourably. He suffered great pain in the shoulder, but this is a favourable symptom, indicating that the severed parts are re-uniting. —Manchester Guardian. I Dividend Nate of Company. per • Annum.

TIIE WEATHER.—On Thursday week, the wind suddenly shifted from south-west to north, and a very great change was quickly produced in the temperature. A sharp frost set in at night, accompanied by snow. storms on Friday and Saturday, which covered the ground to the depth of two or three inches. On Sunday morning the thermometer stood at 22 deg., with clear sky, and the wind, as it subsided, came back as usual to the south-west. At night the thermometer descended to 17 deg, which is its lowest station since Jan. 16, 1841. On Monday, at one o'clock, it stood at 19 deg., but in. stantly started up to 26 deg., at the appearance of a body of light clouds passing over. The sky became again clear, on which the thermometer began rapidly to descend, the minimum for the night being 19. On Tuesday, with a fresh breeze from the north, the maxi mum temperature was 26 deg., and the minimum at night 17 deg. On Wednesday it rose to 29 deg., and, at six in the evening, bad gone down to 20 deg., when the air became cloudy, with light snow, and the ther mometer continued rising. To-day (Thursday) the shy is again clear, with the thermometer at 30 deg., and the appearance of a severe night, if no disturbance should take place. On Monday, the Trent was very full of that singular production of nature called ground ice, and the river being very low, it began early in the day to block up in the still waters of Colwick. It has since then formed about the bridge, and in other parts of the river, putting a total stop to navigation, and exposing some vessels, with valuable cargoes on beard, to great danger when the ice breaks up. It is difficult to say when we had so severe a frost, at such an early period of the win ter—certainly not since 1812.—Nottingham Review. THE FIIOST.—At an early hour on Thursday morn ing a heavy fall of snow took place, which falling upon the ice in the different parks, made it considerably weaker than it was the preceding day. Notwithstanding. a great number of persons crowded upon the ornamental waters. In St. James's Park a portion of the ice gave way, and one of the skaters fell through, but owing to the exertions of the Humane's Society's men was rescued. ' In Hyde Park, the Regent's Park, and Kensington Gardens, a considerable number of skaters and sliders ventured upon the ice, but no accident worth recording occurred. During the day a partial thaw took place, which made the streets of the metrop o li s excee di ngly dirty. Horses fell in all directions, particularly in the suburban roads. In Mecklenburgh-square, about five o'clock in the afternoon, a brewer's dray, drawn by two horses, was through the slipping of the latter thrown down, the casks of beer being thrown into the road, one of which nearly fell On the d r i ver, w h o had a very' nar row escape. Two or three of the casks fell on the shaft horse while on the gro un d, b y wh i ch the poor animal ' s spine was broken, and it was necessary to kill it on the :spot. . In Wellington- s t reet, two gentlemen were dr i v i ng in a gig near the Lyceum Theatre, when, the horse slipping, brought th e g i g i n contact w i t h a carriage, throwing the two gentlemen out. The horse plum Ito get tree, dashed th e gi g t o pi ec es, and then ran oft with the shafts at a f ur i ous p ace towards Waterloo-bridge, but coining in c on t a ct with the lamp pillar, the animal fell in the road; and was run over by a heavily laden cart, by which it was S 3 much injured that it was neces sary to have it killed. ROTTERDAM, DEC. 11.—The Giraffe, steamer, ar rived here yesterday from London, bringing 50,000 lampreys, or small eels, to be used by the Dutch fisher men of the town of Viardingen, during the ensuing winter, for cod fishing. The timely arrival of this large quantity will be the means of employing 300 wen and 25 boats throughout the winter. A large concourse of people had assembled to welcome the arrival of the Giraffe, which was done by loud and continued shouting and huzzaing. The lampreys are caught about Tedding ton, and being teed to flowing water they are obliged to have the water they are taken over in kept continually disturbed throughout the passage, which operation em ployed several men. SOUTIIANIPTON, DEC. 17. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, Captain Mehan, left the docks this day at three, P.m., en route for Gib raltar, with the Cadiz, Lisbon, and other mails ; &so a full andvaluable cargo of bale goods, and between 30 and 40 passengers. The next homeward mails will be brought in the Queen, and may be expected to .morrow. The Royal West India mail-packet Tweed, Captain Parsons, left the river at three, P.m., for the West Indies, with the usual mails, 87 passengers, and a good general cargo. The Forth will bring home the next mails,and will be due on the 21st instant. PUBLICATIONS. ELIZA COOK'S PO,EMS.

The Madrid correspondent of the Morning Chronicl e extract c ommunicates the following ernadct from a letter of Mr. Cobden's, addressed to Mr. H reply to a letter T.( ceived from the lerson, from Cadiz, in latter gentleman. Mr. Cobden says, 4 . You are strong claim, and you must try every in the justice of your pal to the honour and honesty of Spaniards, and, appeal to the honour and honesty of Spaniards, and, if necessary shame them into the payment of their debts. endeavour e to b with your circular as to the abi l ity o f the Li. I agree Government to meet its engagementF , p r o vid ed ordinary talent e and integrity preside over i ts finances. Never was there a c ountry whose resource s were so ne g lected andwasted as those of Spain. I ts tariff is a ruinous farce, fulfilling no rational object , bu t failin g ridiculously as a measure of protection, as a means of revenue, and as a national policy. Instead of affording the proposed protection in to the Catalans, everybody (manufacturers included) Spain is an avowed contrabandist when opportunity offers; and I am convinced that a duty of 20 per cent. on foreign goods, honestly levied, with the accompanying facilities to the Catalonians for the free admissionthe of their raw materials, would be more favourable to manufacturers than the present system. Ido not think you overrate the direct loss to the revenue from the prohibitive tariff. While in Madrid I had the opportu nity of speaking to M. Mon upon this point. I told him if he would farm his customs duties for 20 years I would undertake to guarantee him four times the amount of net revenue at present derived from that source, upon one conditi o n only, that I should be allowe heto reduce the duties a t discretion, but no t to have power of in creasing the taxes upon any article in the tariff. Indi reet gain to the revenue wou ld, however, of be only a part the ben e fit o f a modification of the tariff. With free dom of exchan i and ten e y e ars internal tranq uillit y , g , Spain would increase in wealth and population faster, probably, than any nation in the world , and her present debt would become, in proportion to her resources, the lightest in Europe.

THE SWELL-MOB IN THE PROVINCES. —The ap prehension of Shaw and Wood, two members of the swell mob, for the robbery of the Half-moon Inn, in Gateshead, has elicited communications from the pro prietors of inns in carious parts of the country, detailing losses of a character exactl}• similar to that experienced by Miss Murray, and identifying the prisoners by their description, as parties who were suspected at the time, but whose adroitness saved them.from punishment. Mr. El. Baldock, landlord of the Hand and Sceptre Inn, Tunbridge Wells, has written to Gateshead, stating that two men, corresponding in appearance with the prisoners, robbed his house in September last of 1571. Wood's wife, who was remanded on a charge of being concerned to robbing the George and Angel Inn, at Stamford, h a , been discharged, her connexion with the affair being of the same doubtful character as at Gateshead. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION RESPECTING A WILL. At the Guildhall Court, on Wednesday, an application was made by Mrs. Eliza Denman, a distant relative of Lord Denman, respecting a - will made by a Mr. John Thomas Roe, late a barrister in the Inner Temple, but now deceased, wherein he left her a legacy of 5001., but which will, it was alleged, had either been con cealed or destroyed by certain parties from interested motives. • Mrs. Denman stated that a few years back Mr. Roe's father died suddenly, leaving four children, without having made any will. Mr. Thomas Roe, the elder, laid claim to the property, against the wishes of the rest of the family, who thought it ought to be divided amongst them, and after a great deal of litigation it was decided in favour of the eldest son. Applicant became acquainted with Mr. J. T. Roe at the house of a Mr. Williams, to whose daughter he was paying his addresses. While there Mr. Roe was requested by a lady to draw out a will for her in which she bequeathed a sum of 2001. to her (Mrs. Denman). Mr. Roe did so, and having placed it in his pocket, went to play at billiards. That ' night the lady died, and, on its being an nounced to Mr. Roe, he said, " Good God, I have been the means of losing you 2001.!" but he said he would recompense me , and he made out a will on paper, in applicant's presence, leaving her a legacy of 500/. This was attested by two witnesses, and handed over by the deceased to Miss Williams. A breach took place between Mr. Roe and Miss Williams, in consequence of the former having an intimacy with a person named Mary Ann Morrell, which resulted in Mr. Roe writing for his letters, &c., which Miss Williams sent to him, as well as the will. He then went into chambers, Morrell going to live with him, and it was into her hands that he gave his papers and the will to take care of. In the will Mr. Roe had appointed Mr. Williams his executor. and upon the sudden death of the former he applied to Morrell, but she refused to give it up, and refused them the slightest information on the subject. Inquiries were made, and applicant received information that Morrell had the will, and had written to Lady Dimmock a letter relative to Mr. Roe's papers in their possession. After that all parties disappeared, and she gave up the pursuit. Last year she took a house at Windsor, and wrote to the Rev. Mr. Roe for a part of the legacy, but reved no answer. She then went to his residence in th - Finuntor, and had an interview with him, when he denied, that there was any will amongst his brother's papers. She also asked Mr. Pocock relative to it, and he said he knew nothing about the will. Under these circumstances, she had obtained summonses against the parties, to put 3 uoli questiam% to them as she thought would elicit the truth respecting the will. Eliza Hughes, sister to Mary Ann Morrell, was first questioned. She said that she certainly had papers which she perused, belonging to the late Mr. Roe, and communicated the fact to Lady Dimmock, but she re fused to give them up to Mr. Williams, considering they were the property of the heir-at-law, the Rev. Mr. Roe, to whom she delivered them. She saw no will amongst those papers, nor did she believe there was one. Mary Ann Morrell was then questioned, the substance of her answers being that she had lived with Mr. Roe at his chambers. When they first lived together he gave her the papers and will to take care of ; but about six months before he died he came" to her, and asked for them, saying that he intended to go to his solicitors, and have two names scratched out (Miss Williams's and Mrs. Denman's), remarking that he thought his child (by witness) might as well have the money as strangers. She accompanied him to Messrs. Oberton and Hughes. and saw him give some papers to a clerk there. When, they left, he said, " It's all right ;" and shortly after he proceeded into the country, where he died suddenly. Application was made by witness and her sister to Messrs. Oberton and Hughes , and received as an answer, that no will of Mr. Roe's ha d ever been deposited with them. A clerk, formerly in the employ of Messrs. Oberton and Hughes, produced his register-book of parties call ing on business, and said he remembered Mr. Roe and Morrell calling at the office, and giving him a will and some papers (the former of which he handed to the magistrates), but they related to the business of another party altogether. No will of Mr. Roe's had ever been seen or spoken of to his knowledge. Alderman Wilson—Well, Mrs. Denman, there is a complete answer for you. Mrs. Denman—l beg your 'pardon. I contend that Mary Ann Morrell has not given a sufficient account of the will. The Rev. Mr. Roe said there was no will among his brother's papers, and, in fact, he died insolvent. His estate was sold for 7,0401., which did not cover his debts. The Aldermen ultimately decided that there were no grounds for proceedings before them, nor had anything transpired to implicate any parties in the destruction-or concealment of the will, although it appeared an extra ordinary affair. THE MANCHESTER AND BOLTON RAILWAY.— MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Another dreadful collision took place to•day on this railway, by which one man lost his life, and a number of others were more or less injured. The following extract from a second edition of the Manchester Guardian, published this evenin,, gives the details :—" The express train for Manchester, which should leave Bolton 10 minutes before 11, but which to-day started at 11, had reached a part of the lino a little on this side of the Clifton station, near Clifton-hall, at a place called Pepper-hill, probably about five miles from Manchester, and near the junction with the East Lancashire line, when the passengers became sensible of a series of unusually violent jerks and jolts, caused, it appeared, by the engine having in some strange and inexplicable manner got op the rails, and the jolts were caused by the wheels on one side running over the wooden sleepers between the rails. After running in the way described for a short distance, and when within fifty yards of the steep embankment at the junction of the East Dertsy line, the engine ran up a small embankment on the near (or north-east) side of the line, and then came down again in a curve upon the line, and was there overturned across the rails. Apparently,„on its beirg overturned, the tender was violently detached from it, and hurled quite over it, in a sort of somersault, falling upon the axles of one side quite across the inner rail of the up and the inner rail of the down lines of rails, from 40 to 50 yards in advance of where the engine was found. The car riages were also separated, and some were thrown one way, some another. The last carriage kept on its wheels, but a third-class carriage was overturned, and the pas sengers sere taken out through a window. On the pas sengers getting liberated from the carriages, some of them walked back to the spot where the jerking was first felt, in order to examine the rails, as it was found that the wheels and axle of the engine were all right. On their way they discovered the engineer lying ou the road quite dead, and in the rear of th e carr i ages t h e stoker or fireman sitting on the other line of rail, hold ing his leg ; and it was found that his right foot was cut off by a wheel, and his left leg fractured in two places. Several of the passengers sustained less material injuries—one gentleman had his nose broken by the con cussion, but we could not learn his name." FATAL ACCIDENT IN COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. —Thursday evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at II e George the Fourth, Gilbert's-passage, Clare Market, on the body of John Cain, aged thirty-eight, who lost his life by falling from the upper tier of boxes in Covent garden Theatre. Robert Stephenson, a carpenter, sai.l that the deceased, on Thursday, the 10th inst., was en gaged on the top tier of boxes in the theatre, and whilst in the act of walking from one room to another, he stepped upon a piece of quartering that bad been care lessly placed there, which tripped him up, and he fell into the passage of the second tier of boxes, a distance of twenty-five feet. He was taken without loss of time to King's College Hospital. The house-surgeon of the hos pital said that deceased had fractured his spine by the fall, and had dislocated two bones of the hand and scalp. He died on Tuesday . morbing last from the effects of the injuries he had received.—Verdict, " Accidental death." east London.... Urand JUnction Vauxhall . • • • .

THOMAS GRENVILLE. This venerable and distinguished statesman expired at seven o'clock last evening, at the advanced age of 91. The lamented gentleman had resided for some time back at his town mansion in Hamilton-place, and up to a week sines was in the enjoyment of very good health; but. an ordinary attack of influenza WAS too much for one so old, and after a few changes the complaint hastened to a fatal termination. The deceased was the second son of the Right Honourable George Grenville, by the daughter of Sir William Wyndham, Bart.; consequently he was brother to the first Marquis of Buckingham, His birth took place in the month of December, 1755, George 11. being then the reigning Sovereign. At an early age he entered the political world, priLcipally, however, direct ing his attention to diplomatic affairs. In 1782, a critical period, and when but 27 years of age, he was appointed to the responsible office of Ambassador to the court of France. In the March of that year the Marquis of Rockingham was ap pointed Premier, and in the July following he died, being succeeded by William first Marquis of Lans downe. Having completed his term of service in France, ho returned to England, and was returned for the borough of Buckingham by his kinsman, the Marquis of Buckingham. In 1790 h• was elected for Aldborough. In 1794 he was appointed by Mr. Pitt Minister Ex traordinary to Vienna ; and under the direction of the same Minister, in 1799, he proceeded to Prussia. In 1800 he was appointed Chief Justice in Erye, South of Trent. From 1806 to 1807 he was First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. Grenville vt as appointed a member of the Privy Council in 1798, and, with the single exception of the Earl of.Harrowby, was the oldest member of that body. Ile was never married.
