UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION. - - _ The fifteenth annual meeting of this Association was leld on Saturday, at the institution, Whitehall, at two. It was expected that Lord Ellenborough would have 1 - Tesided, but as the hour for commencing the proceed ings bad passed, and - his Lordship not having arrived , Major SHADWELL CLERK said that Lord Ellen borough had been compelled to go to Woolwich that morning, and had not yet returned, but be hoped he would before the proceedings had terminated. In the meantime he would move that Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Nalcolm should take the chair. The motion was agreed to, and The SECRETARY proceeded to read the minutes of the hat meeting, and the fifteenth annual report of the Council, which stated that the Council, in sub mitting to the meeting their fifteenth annual, report, are enabled to announce the completion of the exten sive additions and improvements undertaken last year. The Council congratulate the members on the nearer approach to the complete fulfilment of the objects of the association, and they feel justified in expressing their conviction that the institution will not suffer by compa rison with the best of its class in the British empire, while it possesses features of interest peculiarly its own. The Council are much gratified in stating that, not withstanding the necessity of closieg the institution -while the works were in progress, the aggregate number of visitors is but little short of that in the pre cecEng year ; thereby showing the increased inte rest taken in the institution. In the course of the year the Council have caused 1,500/. Three and a Quarter ter Cents. stock to be sold, ar.d have applied this sum, together with a portion of the life subscriptions received during the same period, to the cost of the repairs, altera tions, and fittings of the building, library, and collection, nd ti legal expenses. The funded property of the Insti ution now consists of 1,5001 Three and a Qtarter per Cents., besides 3451. 3s. 10d. Consols, being money sub scribed towards the erection of a lecture theatre. The income for the ensuing year may be estimated at Annual subscriptions Rent of house Interest oa 1,5001 47 0 0 £1,462 4 0 This estimate did not include the sums to be received as life subscriptions. The total amount of life subscrip tions received since the foundation of the institution is 5,5441., of which sum about 4,000 h has been recently laid out in the purchase and alteration of the new premises. The Council regret that the large outlay of the past year for general purposes has compelled them to limit the amount expended on the library to the sum of 127/, but they will not fail to apply a larger proportion of income to that branch as their means improve. The Council cannot refrain from adverting to the intrinsic value of the library. The collection now comprises 8,100 volume:, including the best works of reference upon almost every subject. Since the last report ac ceptable additions have been made to the museum in its various branches, including Chinese objects. Lectures were delivered at the institution during the season of 1845, and were well attended, although the want of proper accommodation was much felt. At the last general meeting it was resolved that the secretary be directed to open a book to receive subscriptions towards the building of a lecture theatre, aad other required im provements. There have been received on this account 3411. The subscription continuing open, it is hoped that additions will still be made to the above amount ; a lecture theatre only being wanted to enhance the capabilities of the institution. In pursuance of the resolution pas - sed at a special general meeting held in July, 1845, a clause has been added to the laws, section 4, requiring the payment of an entrance fee of one pound by all members joie ' ing after the Ist of January, 1847. The eight members of Council who retire by rotation, are—Lieutenant- Col. W. H. Cornwall, Colds. Gds. ; Edward Jekyll, Esq., late Capt. Gr. Gds.; Lieut. Henry Raper, R.N., F. R.A S.; Captain G. Parlby, H.P., late 4th Dragoons; Captain Percy Grace, R.N.; Sir Charles F. Forbes, M.D., K.C.11., &c.; Captain M. H. Sweny, R.N.; Major-General H. G. A. Taylor, C. 8., Madras Army. Then followed an abstract of the accounts, and a list of the subscribers to the lecture theatre. The adoption of the above report having been moved by Captain LLOYD, R.N., and seconded by Lieutenant Neceronsote, it was unanimously adopted. The SECRETARY, in answer to a question from a member, said that the institution was free from the pay ment of rates and income-tax. He then read an alter ation proposed to be made in the rules, to the effect that the rooms should be open daily for visitors, but the li brary for members only, who would have access to it throughout the whole year until 10 o'clock at night. This having been agreed to, the next subject brought under discussion was a motion proposed by Captain W. F. WATKINS, of the Bombay Artillery, to the effect that the widow of their late porter, John 'Wilson, who had died while in their service, should be put on pension. The Gallant Captain went on to say that the widows of private soldiers did not receive any allowance from the Government. He thought that the Hon. Members of the institution would be glad to have the opportu nity afforded them of assisting the widow of their ser vant, and called upon his Gallant Friend, Captain Grover, to second his resolution. Captain GROVER said he would decline to second the resolution, as he had been one of the members of the Council appointed to inquire into the circumstances. Captain UHILPOTTS then seconded the resolution. Major CLARK said, that it appeared that there had teen some neglect in this case, as the housekeeper had !considered that the deceased, while in a fit of apoplexy, /was tipsy, but so soon as the mistake was discovered every assistance was given to the unfortunate man. A Council had been summoned, in which the case was sone into, but they did not think they would have been ustified in expending the money of the institution for -any other purpose than that for which it had been sub scribed by Hon. Members; and to show that the Council bad done all in their power in the present case , he would call upon the Secretary to read the minutes of the Council assembled upon that occasion. The SECRETARY having read the minutes, Major CLARK stated that, in addition to the trans frictions there recorded, the Council had paid to the idow of the deceased the sum of five pounds towards he expenses of the funeral. The Cuainmear then put the resolution. An HON. MEMBER inquired what was the number of else family of the deceased ? Capt. WATKINS stated that there was a large family, but that they were all provided for. Colonel Fox moved as an amendment that inquiry be Meade into the pecuniary circumstances of the widow, and theta hotel; be opened in the hall for the purpose of receiving the names and amounts of those members who would subscribe towards the relief of the widow. Colonel Honnswowne seconded the resolution. The Clammier, having put the original resolution which was negatived, then put the amendment of Col. Fox, which was carried unanimously. Col. Fox then proposed that the management of this subscription should be left in the hands of the Council. Captain GROVER seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously agreed to. The following members were then elected to supply th 3 vacancies in the Council : Lieut. 11. Raper, U.N., F.R.A.S., Cap'. M. 11. Sweny, 1.1.N. ' Major-General 11. G. A. Taylor , C. 8 ., Major-General W. D. Cleiland, 11.E.LC.5., Col. Henry Godwin, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel Robert Barnewell, H.E.1.C.5., Lieut. Col. E. Sabine, R.A., Major-General T. Kenah, C.B. Major CLARK then stated, that with similar feelings, though with not quite so much of the imperial mode of expression with which the hero surveyed his Auritectica, or golden house, so might the honourable raembers of the institution now look upon the building in which they were assembled. They would, however, observe a vacuum as they came up the stairs ; and as nature abhor red a vacuum, so it was to be supposed that lion. Members would express their abhorrence of a vacuum in this institution, by placing their names with a certain figure or figures placed opposite in the book, which was opened for the purpose of receiving sub scriptions towards building the new lecture hall. 1/e would, therefore, suggest that those favourable to the object should put down their names for any sum they pleased. A vote of thanks was then passed unanimously to Mr. Taylor, the architect, for his active and disinter ested exertions in behalf of the institution in the ex tensions which took place a few months ago. The CHAIRMAN then declared that the business which they had been called 'together to transact was con !lhided, and again expressed his regret at the absence of Lord Ellenborough. He was satisfied, however, that nothing.., but the important duties which he had been 4 ;lied The upon to di sc h arge would have kept him away. Chairman having left the chair, and Colonel 3l"hiswortb, one of the- oldest members of - the instie t utmujo ionp r lareesennut proposedaving be that been voted into it, Sir thet thanks of the meet ing should be given t o Charles Malcolm for his valaable services on that occasion. He was a practical illustration of the memorable Russell,ioremark of Sydney John S m ith with respect to Lordthat he would take the command of the English Ileet if it were offered t o him, for Sir Charles consented to take aieeh air imme siiatcly on being informed of the unavoidable absence of lord Ellenborough.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded by Sir BE. JAMIN SMITH, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, ani the xneeting broke up. - JUVENILE OFFENDERS. At a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, held at the Zlansion house, on the 14th day of February, 1846, the BHA Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair, the following :Suggestions were submitte d to their consideration by the City Solicitor, as a Plan for Checking the Growth of Juvenile Crime, and providing for the mental, moral, religious, and industrial training of destitute Youth in the Metropolis and other large Cities and Towns. 1. It appears, from Parliamentary returns and other authentic documents, that during the present century the number of commitments and convictions for crime has increased in this country greatly beyond the in creme of population. Thus, hi the five years preceding 1810 the average annual number of commitments in England and %Vales was 4,792, and the convictions 2,840, *bile the p,pulation of the age of teu years and up wards amounted to 7,302,600 ; whereas in the five ears preceding 1845 the average annual number of commitments was 28,477, and the convictions 20,590, Mod the population ten years old and upwards had in. treas.Kl to 12.093,000 ; so that in a period of forty ears population ten years old and upwards has increased 65 per cent., while the proportionate commitments for le rime have been augmented 494 per cent., and the con 'Actions 625 per cent. 2. Until within the last ten years the returns do not trecify the ages of the prisoners ; but, as appears by these later documents, the number of juvenile criminals annually convicted in England and Wales, has increased in a greater degree than even the mass of criminals at largo, Thus the number of oritnipals, under twenty years of age, committed to prison in the year 1835 was 6,803, or one in 449 of the population, between ten and twenty years of age ; while in 1844 they amounted to 11,348, or 1 in 304 upon the population of the same age. 3. While it ig universally admitted that poverty and ignorance have a natural tendency to augment the growth of crime, it must also be admitted that the stated increase cannot be attributed to these causes alone ; for we find that the average of commitments in each quin quennial period shows an augmentation of the preceding average, irrespective of the fluctuations which during those periods have taken place in the national prosperity, and in an inverse direction to the accumulation of na tional wealth, which during the whole time has been un doubtedly taking place. That this increase of crime cannot be attributed to the absence or education, is like wise equally apparent ; for during the whole of the in tervening period most strenuous exertions have been made to alien' to the masses of the people increased education, intellectual, moral, and religious, and to sup ply them with the means of satisfying the appetite for knowledge, which elementary instruction was calculated to inspire. 4. If tfie force of mere education could counteract the causes which are at work in promoting the increase of crime, the annual increase of education would be found to tell with greater effect upon the younger classes o f the population, who are most within the range of its influence. We in however find that in spite of the diffu sion of education the number of juvenile criminals in creases a larger proportion than the number of cri minal adults. 5. As to the effect of prosperity or adversity upon the growth of crime it is likewise worthy of remark, that, although the last three years sh ) v a decrease i tile number of commitments and convictions in respect of the whole population of England and Wales (which the Premier and the Secretary of State have in Parliament truly ascribed to the increased prosperity and industrial occupation of the masses of the people), yet the stated decrease during those years is in respect of the adult population only ; as upon comparison of the two periods the number of commitments and convictions of juvenile offenders has increased in the three latter years upwards of seven per cent. 6. From the foregoing facts it is quite manifest that we must seek for the causes of crime's increase in some other circumstances than the mere ignorance and po verty of the masses of the people. 7. In considering this subject it is gratifying to re mark, that, although crimes have increased in number, they have been of a less aggravated character and de gree. It is also to be observed, that the number of com mitments, or even the number of convictions, at the two periods taken for the purpose of comparison, do not furnish a true index of the actual increase of crime in the kingdom during the intervening years. Various circumstances have interposed to disturb this compari son—the transition from war to peace threw upon the country a portion of loose population, from which it had been relieved in time of war—the substitution of the new police, and the rival constabulary for the Dug berries of ancient times, has doubtless caused the detec tion and apprehension of many criminals who would otherwise have escaped. The payment of prosecutors' expenses out of the county rates stimulates prosecutions that might not have been instituted. The almost total abolition of the punishment of death, the diminution of transportations, and the substitution of shorter terms of imprisonment, have all of them had some effsct in aug menting the number of commitments and convictions beyond the actual increase of crime ; but a close exami nation of the numbers in the years when these altera tions tcok place, and their comparison with preceding and succeeding years, will prove that the influence of these causes (except the return of peace) is much less than might have been imagined ; so much so that the quinquennial averages during the whole forty years show a graduated Increase ; it should likewise be noted, that the effect of these changes upon the returns of the num ber of commitments has been much qualified by the modern system of legislation, which so frequent substi tutes summary convictions for trial by jury, and has transferred to the jurisdiction of the magistrates, many cases that would otherwise have appeared as commit ments and convictions in the later criminal returns. In point of fact it is believed that the number of summary convictions for petty offences in England and Wales, which do not find a place in the returns of commitments and convictions from which the foregoing calculations have been made, amount to more than three times the number of convictions at the assizes and sessions, which form the basis of these returns. 8. Coeval with this extraordinary increase of commit ments and convictions for crime, has been the multipli cation of petty offences, punishable by fine, and (failing its payment) by short imprisonment in gaol.* All these offences (many of them mere male prohibit() it is within the range of mischievous youth to commit, and having no money for the penalty, they of course pay in person, as they cannot pay in purse. 9. Upon summary convictions, short imprisonments are awarded for the smallest offence, and it is no un common thing to read in the newspapers of young urchins found, in a state of destitution, or in the com mission of some petty delinquency, commisserated by the magistrate, who expresses his pity for their un fortunate condition, and laments that he has no other place than a criminal's gaol, to which he may consign them. 10. The mind of the child thus becomes familiarised with a gaol—a prison is at once disarmed of its terrors and its shame. In a gaol the novice in crime gets ac• quainted with the hardened in guilt • he finds himself the object of commiseration ; he finds that he is better clothed, better fed, better housed and better cared for, within its walls than in the habitation of his parents or the workhouse of his parish; hence petty delinquencies become the prelude to the gravest crimes, and the child acclimated to the atmosphere of a gaol grows up- to manhood, disabled from gaining an honest living, by having had the brand of crime stamped upon his fore head, and he so remains, perhaps for years, a continual burden to the State, until his education is finished in the Model Prison, at an expense of some thirty or forty pounds, preparatory to his transportation from his native land at a further cost of the like sum. 11. If, when this child was first charged with vio lating the law, or was first found in destitution on the threshold of crime, it had been placed in a reformatory establishment, surrounded with means and appliances for mental, moral, religious, and industrial training,— instead of costing his country, iu loss by plunder and in expenses of prosecutions, imprisonments, and trans portation, from 1001. to 1301.—be would, for one third of that price, have been rendered a useful and valuable member of society, either at home or in any one of our Colonies—to which, as a free emigrant, after proper training, he might be willing to be transferred. 12. To carry out this object in a cheap and efficient manner, it should not be undertaken by a mere union of parishes, or even of counties ; it must be by the estab lishment of Kational Asylums, in which all objects, of both sexes, however numerous, may be received, and where they may be classified according to their sex, age, and strength, as well as their past pursuits and asso ciations ; and where they may, from time to time, be re-arranged according to their conduct, character, and attainments, and according to their intended vocation in after life. 13. These establishments should be conducted by government offs-ers, under the supervision of Inspectors and Boards of Magistrates ; they should be placed on the line of the great trunk railroads, by which children could be transmitted safely, cheaply, and expeditiously to and from different parts of the kingdom, and by which the produce of their labour, such as market garden stuff, and ether productions of the soil, might be easily'forwarded to the metropolis or other large towns, where a ready consumption would be foundet Out-door labour should be united with mental and religious edu cation, and with instruction in mechanical employment : employment in the open air invigorates the frame, pro motes their growth, and is a good preparation for any situation that youth may be destined hereafter to fill. The length of their continuance in the Asylum should not be determined by a sentence of years or months, but by a modified application of Captain Macenochie's sys tem, where good conduct, industrious habits, and profi ciency in some industrial pursuit, will distinguish the inmates, as fit for apprenticeship in this ceuntry, or the colonies, or to enter as volunteers in the naval or mili tary service, as may best suit their taste awl inclination. - 14. The cost of these establishments would be very inconsiderable, when compared with the enormous sums which in one form or another these wasters, these de stroyers of property, now entail upon some portions of the community. Children taken into the Asylum before they are confirmed in evil habits, or hardened in crimi nal pursuits, may be easily eontroled, trained, and in structed, and may, to a considerable extent, be made prodective, if stimulated by a prospect of reward. to engage in useful and profitable labour suitable to their age, strength, and disposition. The expense of Park hurst Convict Asylunat affords no means of comparison as to the cost of such an establishment as is here pro posed, or as to its influence upon the character of the inmates or its effects upon the interests of society at large. Upon the excellent managers of Parkhurst devolves the difficult and all but hopeless task of con trouling and correcting the inmates, who, although young in years arc old in crime, and who, bearing about them the brand of convicted felons, are insensible to those incentives to industry and good conduct which, with an untainted character, the prospect of future sacce3s in a useful and honourable calling, could scarcely fail to inspire in the youth of the proposed Asylum. al is ls here.

In the vicinity of London, active occupation for women and lads is found during nine months of the year, in diggi he l ng, tren of mching, dres sing, cropping, hoeing , and weeding tand ark gardens—of some descriptions of produce three or four crops in a year are obtained, and a market could be found in Lon don or other large towns for an unlimited supply of produce, without materially interfering with other interests—it is an object of importance, in all establishments of this descrip tion, to finl a profitable occupation for the inmates, with as little interference as possible with the free labour market.

This expensive diet would be unnecessary in the proposed asylum ; air and exercise will develop the physical energies of youth, without the aid of a better 1 diet than the sons of an honest labourer partake of. In the prisons in Ireland the cost of provisioning the adult inmates does not amount to 2s. 6d. per week, and yet complaint has never been made that the prison diet of the Irish labourer impairs his physical capabilies, or stints the growth of the younger prisoners. It will be equally just in principle and wise in policy that no un necessary expense should be incurred in exciting artifi cial wants in youth maintained at the public expense, which when thrown upon their own resources they tray find it difficult to supply—wants, which when they have the means of honestly gratifying, they will never find it difficult to acquire. 17. If, as this paper assumes, the proposed establish ment will be equally beneficial to the public, and to parents and paishes, as well as the children for whose education and subsistence it is intended to provide, the only quesions which remain to be solved are, hy:ss?hom should the charges of the asylum be defrayed, and what measures should to taken to prevent the multiplication of objects seeking a refuge within its walls. To both questions one answer will suffice. Let those who will derive the benefit from the institution defray the ex penae of its cost and maintenance—the loss and waste from plunder by young thieves now fall upon the public ; the public pay the cost of their numerous apprehensions, prosecutions, and convictions, the expense of their im prisonment in tile hulks, or their transportation to the penal settlements, and the charges of their confinement and coercion there. As a sub iiitute for these expenses, the public should provide the land, the buildings, and the outfit fur the proposed asylums ; the public should defray the charges of governing, educating, and traitung the in mates ; the public should furnish the means, if means are requisite, to apprentice them at home, or to assist them as voluntary emigrants to our colonies, where youth of both sexes, as domestic or farm servants, are in great demand. If a debtor and creditor account be kept of the difference in expense between the present and the contemplated system, a large item e ill probably be found at the end of seven years to the credit of the proposed plan. 18. The cost of clothing and provisioning the inmates, should be borne by the children's parents or their parishes—by those who, by the laws of God and man, are now bound to provide them as destitute children with shelter, and with food and clothes. 19. It is a notorious fact that immoral and dishonest parents encourage their children to commit crime ; ne gligent and thoughtless parents permit their miscon duct ; selfish and unnatural parents leave them in a state of destitution, which they know must infallibly lead to starvation or thieving ; and even parochial authorities, by their neglect of parentless and friendless children — though they may close their eyes against the conse quences of their neglect—do in fact contribute to the same result. Both parents and parishes know that they are by law bound to provide for children in a state of destitution ; the child has however only to add crime to destitution—has only to join the criminal classes—and the trouble of its future government, and the expense of its future maintenance is, as the law now stands, trans ferred at once from the parent and the pariah to the county and the State. 20. No man can have watched the working of the present system without feeling that to the last-mentioned circumstances the country is largely indebted for the in crease of juvenile criminals, and if that is so, the estab lishment of such an asylum as is here proposed (or in fact any plan that might be adopted for the maintenance and reform of juvenile offenders) would but multiply the number of children cast destitute upon the world, unless it were accompanied with some attendant regula tions, to check the influence of parochial indifference, and prevent the increase of parental neglect. This object could only be achieved by continuing to the parent, and failing the parent's ability, by continuine to the parish, the obligation to defray the expense of the child's diet and clothing in the asylum, as they are now by law compelled to provide him with food and clothing if found destitute in the streets. There would be no injustice and no impolicy in such a law ; it would but fasten upon parents and parishes the responsibilities which already exist ; but, by rendering that practical e hick is now frequently theoretical only, it would stimulate them to the performance of duties which they now neglect. 21. To effect these great objects, great changes in the law will be required; for that purpose it is proposed to enact that all children under a given age, say sixteen years fund violating the law, or in a state of destitution which will inevitably lead to crime, shall be taken before the magistrate, and, instead of ,being committed, as is now the case, to a criminal prison, they shall be sent to the proposed asylum, and the parents, and failing the parents' ability, the parishes to which they belong, shall pay the dry expense of diet and clothing—say 2s. or 3s. per week, as the case may be. The effect of such a legal enactment would be, that parents and parochial authorities would exert themselves to control, educate, and obtain employment for those for whom they are bound by law to provide; and, if they failed to do this, parishes and parents would have no right to com plain, that, having neglected to perform the' duty, the State should interpose and do their duty for them: — Parishes and parents will have no right to complain if the State places itself in loco parentis for the purpose of making those happy and useful who would otherwise be wretched and useless Members of society, charging the parent or the parish with the expense of their sup port; an expense which has hitherto been thrown most unjustly upon the county rates, or has been defrayed out of the consolidated fund, raised from the taxation of the nation at large. Sergeant SUEE, on behalf of the defendant, urged that the proceeding was a disgraceful fraud on the part of the auctioneer, and that he had no right to recover in this action. It was all very well fur him to tell the company at the sale, after the genuine wino had been disposed of, that the other wine did not belong to Mr. Stevens, but this fraud consisted in publishing to the whole country, that there were two hundred dozen of fine wine, the property of a gentleman, who, it was well known, would not have anything but a genuine article in his cellar, when the pluintiff was perfectly well aware that the greater portion of it was mere rubbish, pur chased for the occasion. _ _ _ Witnesses were then called, who proved that they went to the sale under the impression that the wine was the property. of Mr. Stevens, and purchased some of it under that impression. They likewise stated that they did not hear the plaintiff say a single word about the wine not being the property of Mr. Stevens, but they said they did hear him repeatedly declare that " the wine had been in bottle ever since the devil was an infant." These witnesses admitted, on cross-exami nation by Mr. Chamber;, that Mr. Cutts was pie sent at the commencement of the sale, and that he tasted nearly all the samples before he bid for them. Mr. CHAMRE AS, in reply, argued, that without at tempting to justify the condect, of the auctioneer in introducing the wine, it was quite clear that the defendant had not been deceived. He had tasted the samples, and bid for them according to his opinion, and it would be monstrous under such circumstances to allow him to go back from his bargain. Mr. Baron ALDERSON having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed ; at the same time, expressing their opinion that it was a very improper proceeding for an auctioneer to place property in a side under such circumstances. CROWN SIDE —(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) William Spence, a Trinity House pilot, surrendered to answer an indictment, charm 6 ing him with the man slaughter of William Ingram Emery. Mr. Rodwell conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ryland appeared for the defendant. From the evidence it appeared that on the 14:h of August, last year, the defendant, in his capacity of pilot, was conducting a Portuguese vessel, called the Duarte Quarto down the river, and when in the north channel off the coast of Southend, where there were a number of boats with fishermen in them pursuing their avocation, the vessel ran down one of them, in which were the deceased and another person, both of whom were drowned. The defence was that the prisoner had given the proper orders to the man at the helm to avoid the boat, but in consequence of his not understanding English, he put the helaa in the wrong direction, and thus caused the accident. At the close of the case for ,the prosecution, Mr. Ryland, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted that there was no case to go to the jury, inasmuch as it had not been shown that the death of the deceased was caused by any act done by the prisoner, and that, on order to constitute the crime of manslaughter, it had been held by the Judges in recent cases that a mere omission to perform some act which it was his duty to have per formed, and whereby death ensued, was not sufficient to subject a party to a charge of felony. Mr. Rod well argued that the present case came within the meaning of the decision referred to, as an act had been committed. The prisoner was acting by the man at the helm, who had no will or direction of his own, but was subject to the control of the pilot, who gave the order which resulted in the death of the deceased. If that order was given in so careless a manner as to cause the man at the helm to steer in an improper course, he was criminally responsible for the conse • quences of such negligence, and in point of fact the act of the man at the helm was the act of the prisoner. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having consulted Mr. Baron Alderson upon the point of law, said he should not stop the case. Mr. RYLAND then addressed the jury upon the facts, and called several witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character for good conduct and skill in his pro- cession. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. ...k i pturday, Ma'c'e 7. (Before Lord Cnief Ju,tice DENUAN and a Spe cial Jury.) LEWSAY V. WILLIS. This was an action to recover damages for an assaul committed by the defendant upon the plaintiff. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Hawkins were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Chambers and gr. Lush for the de fendant. In this case it appeared that the plaintiff was the son of a farmer residing at Stebbing, and the defendant, who was the churchwarden of that parish, was charged with comfhitting an assault upon him in the gallery of the church at that place. It appeared that on the Ist of June the plaintiff, with some other young men, was in the gal lery in question, and in consequence of some proceedings that had previously taken place, the defendant was re quested by the vicar to remove the plaintiff, as he appre hended a disturbance to divine service if he was allowed to remain. The defendant accordingly requested him to retiro from the gallery, and upon his refusing, he laid hold of him and a scuffle took place, which was the ground of the present action. The defence set up was, that a party of young men belonging to the village, companions of the plaintiff, were in the habit of going into this gallery, and con ducting themselves in such a manner as to annoy and interrupt the congregation, and shortly bef o re the Ist of June, the seat had been taken from the gallery in question to prevent their going there. Notwithstand ing this the plaintiff, on the Sunday, proceeded to the gallery, evidently, as was conjectured, for the purpose of creating a disturbance ; and, with a view to prevent scandal, the vicar directed that ho should be removed; and it was contended that the defendant, as church warden, was perfectly justified in the steps he took to effect that object. The LoRD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, the jury found for the plaintiff. Damages ls. (Before Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.) action neighbourhood bro ughtb PHIGoTT V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. ythe plaintiff, who is a Thisfarmr, , in wasof Kelvedon, to recover the value of some sheds and other property which had been destroyed by fire , o wing , as was alleged, to theneg- e t a h n e theneg ligence of the defendants. On the part of the com pany, it was denied that there had been any negligence, and they, therefore, pleaded that they were not liable. Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Deedes, and Mr. Bovill, were for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Slice,' Mr. Edwin James and gr. Alcock for the company. From the evidence adduced for the plaintiff, it 'ap peared that his land and premises adjoined the railway, and on the 27th of last August, im mediately after the down mail train had passed, a spark, or piece of ignited coke, was thrown from the engine, which set fire to the thatch of one of the sheds, and eventually spread to the building, and before the fire could be extinguished a great deal of property was consumed. The on;v evidence in support of the plea of negligence was the evidence of Mr. Farey and Mr. Homersham, engineers, who stated that when engines threw out fire to any extent, it was a proof that they were overworked, and were not sufficiently power ful for the load they had to convey, and that the throw ing out the fire might be prevented by turning a wire guard over the top of the chimney, or else a plate perforated with boles in the smoke box, neither of which contrivances, it wou!d app:ar, were male use of by the company in question. Mr. Sergeant SURE, at the close of the case for the plaintiff, submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury in support of the plea of negligence. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said he thought the case must go to the jury upon the point whether ti e company had taken the reasonable precaution to prevent such accident, and whether their neglecting to employ the wire guard, or the perforated plate amounted to negligence. Mr. Sergeant SHER then adressed the jury, and said he should contend with great confidence that the com pany were not responsible for the injury that had been done to the plaintiff's property in the present instance, and he submitted that there was an entire absence of proof of anything like negligence on their part. The Legislature had sanctioned - the formation of this line of railway, being well aware that the trains could only be propelled by engines set in motion by fire and steam, and the company were merely carrying out the powers given. them by the law; and if by accident the engine so made use of did cause any damage, it would he monstrous to charge the company with neglect. The real question was, had the company done any more than they were entitled to do, or had they in any way shown a want of due care and caution? It was said that they ought to have made use of a wire guard or a pet furated plate, but the witnesses who had been called upon that point had admitted that some fire would still escape, and that they could by no means certainly prevent it ; while, at the same time, it was admitted that either of those con• trivances would, to a certain extent, by reducing the draught, dimicieh the power and speed of the engine, and thereby deprive the public of the benefit of that iu creased velocity of locomotion which had now become such an important desideratum. The driver of the engine on the day in question, and some other witnesses, were then examined ; and from their concurrent testimony it appeared that this engine was one of the most powerful belonging to the com• pany, and that on the day in question, so far from being overworked, it had a very light load, there being only eleven carriages attached to it, and it had frequently taken a much heavier load up the steep in cline at Brentwood, at the rate of twenty miles an hour. It was likewise deposed to, that before the train arrived near the plaintiff's farm, the steam had been shut 'off, and that it passed, there being an incline at that spot, by its own momentum, and that no fire at all issued from the funneL It was also s ated that wire guards had been tried, and that owing to their wearing out so rapidly, from the great heat and draught to which they were subjected, they were found to be of very little use. Mr. Sergeant CLIANNE!.L replied. Mr. Baron ALDERSON then summed up, and left the the case to the jury, who, after deliberating about twenty minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. JONES V. WATTS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had been engaged as a clerk upon a railway speculation called the Irish West Coast Railway, to recover from the defendant, as one of the provisional directors of the company, compensation for his services in that capacity. Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bovill for the defendant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, at the rate of seven shillings a day for seven weeks. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 7. A RAILWAY CONTRACTOR.—IN RE THOMAS ELKINGTON. The insolvent, who had been sub-contractor of the Richmond Railway, was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, for several creditors. The complaints urged against the insolvent were, that he had property which had not been given up, and that he had transferred a " tallyshop" on the Richmond line, to his son, in fraud of his creditors. The case was heard before Mr. Commissioner PANE, and occupied some time. Throughout the hearing, a scene of confusion prevailed, the Commissioner seemed to be labouring under a good deal of irritation, and in other respects the business of the Court was conducted in a manner to be regretted, considering that judicial pro ceedings were before the public. It appeared that the insolvent had entered into a con tract with Knill, the contractor of the Richmond Rail way, and it was alleged that it could be shown that there was more than sufficient to pay the creditors in full, if the Court would reqnire the attendance of that gentle man. In relation to the other objection, it seemed that the insolvent had a " tally-shop" on the line, from whence he supplied slops, grocery, and bread, to the men on the line, and had tickets printed. About Christmas last, the business (according to the evidence of a person named Davis), was transferred to his son, John Elkington, to whom it was stated the horses and carts now on the line, under the contract with Mr. Knill, also belonged. Fresh tickets had been printed, and the creditors alleged that the shop was the property of the insolvent, and, of course, belonged to them. The learned counsel for the opposition (Mr. Sturgeon) placed the two points before the Court, and asked for a refusal of the final order. The attorney fer the insolvent (Mr. Hartley) ad dressed the Court at some length, representing his client as a man more sinned against than sinning, required the attendance of Mr. Knill, and declared that it was a very hard case. Mr. Commissioner FANE, who said he could not clearly se: his way through the mass of confusion, granted time, on the application for the insolvent, to explain the transfer of the property to his son. He de clined to proceed on the other question. The case was adjourned to the 18th inst. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —Aylesbury, March 6. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) MURDER. —Francis Fleet was charged with the wilful murder of Aga Ray, at Dunlop, in tbi* county, by adminia- tering.to her two drachms of corrosive sublimate on the 26th • found he was gone, and in a few minutes afterwards it of June last. was discovered that a great coat, belonging to Mr. Dun- Mr. Sanders was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. can's son, which had been hung up in the passage but a Power defended the prisoner. few minutes previously, had been carried off. From the testimony of the various witnesses examined in The fellow attempted to pray the same trick off at a support of this most serious charge, it appeared that the next door neighbour's, a few days afterwards, when 1 1,1 the former beingrisoner and the d the shepherdeceased were fe and thellow-servantslatter at the Dun only ton, was apprehended. He was remanded until Thursday female attendant of a Mr. Duncombe, a farmer in that next. village. For acme time before the date of this transaction it had become known to their fellow-servants that an illicit connexion had sprung up between these parties, and it was suspected that the deceased was in the family-way by him. On the 26th of June the prisoner was work ing with some other men in the rickvard till one o'clock, when he went into the house, as he said, to get some bread and cheese from " the gal." In a few minutes, however, he returned, and calling one of the labourers to him told him that " the gal" was taken ill, and asked him to go in while he went for assistance. On going into the kitchen, the poor creature was discovered in great agony, vomiting dreadfully, and complaining of a burning sensa tien in her throat and stomach. For some days she con tinued to suffer much, ulcers having appeared in her mouth and on her tongue,—and during all that time the prisoner evinced great anxiety on her acc,unt, making frequent in qairies after her condition. On one of these occasions, he was taxed with having given her " some stuff," when he replied that "he had nut compelled her to take it." On the 9th of July the deceased was removed to the Winslow Union in a gig, and soon after that exerti n she grew rapidly worse, till one of the ulcers broke, and she died of exhaustion. Daring her illness tha prisoner was taken into custody, and she made a deposition before a magistrate in his presence, from which it appeared that on his coming into the kitchen on the 26th of June, he had put some white powder into a glass of water and told her to drink it off, declaring that he would not leave the house till she did so. This she declined o do at tirst, but being at last persuaded by him she swallowed it, and on the instant was attacked with the sickness and pains which had been deposed to by the other witnesses, and were attributed by medical testimony to her having taken a quantity of white mercury, or corrosive sublimate. The de ceased also swore that she was then two months advanced in the family-way by the prisoner, who kn-w that fact, and had on a previous occasion caused her to take something to do away with the child, but without effect. In addition to this, she stated that the_ prisoner had some more of the same stuff by him, and on being searched, a rag was found in his pocket, containing a small quantity of corrosive sublimate, an article which appeared to have been kept on the farm for the purprise of application to the sheep under prisoner's care. Mr. POWER having addressed the jury, His LORDSHIP summed up the case to them with great care and perspicuity, telling them that if they should be of opinion that the prisoner had administered this noxious sub stance to the deceased with the wicked design of procuring abortion, he was, in the eye of the law, guilty of murder, even though there was, in fact, an at settee of any malice towards the unfortunate objcct of his practices. If, there fore, they thought that he had administered this poison with that design, and that her death ensued from her having so taken it, it was their duty, however painful it might be, to return a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner at the bar. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and ulti mately found that the prisoner had administered the poison to the deceased to procure abortion, and that she had died in consequence thereof; on which a verdict of Guilty was recorded. Mr. Baron PARKE then put on the black cap, and pro ceeded to pass the awful sentence of the law upon the pri soner; after which the jury begged to recommend him to mercy, as in their opinion he had not contemplated any in jury to the deceaed. His Lordship then intimated to him that he should take care that the recommendation of the ju7 should be conveyed to the proper quarter, though he could not take upon himself to hold out any prospect of mercy in this world. HEAVY GALE of WIND AND MELANCHOLY CASUALTIES IN EDIN BURGH. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) In the course of yesterday morning this city was visit ed by a gale of wind from the south-west, surpassing in violence any which has been experienced here for many a day, and, we are sorry to add, attended not only with some destruction to property, bat also in one case with loss of life. The heaviest casualty took place in a hcuse No. 16, Hope street, the residence of. Captain Christie, R.N., whose famils generally had left for London only the day before A chimney stalk on the back part of the house fell about eight o'clock in the morning upon the roof, which it penetrated, and carried down to the area floor part of the attic and three other floors. Stewart Robertson, servant to Captain Christie, who it appears had been left in charge of the house, was either killed or suffocated by the falling ruins, his body being only got out about mid-day. A very extraordinary, we might, almost say miraculous escape was made here. Catherine Morrison, servant in a family which occupied the upper and attic stories, was carried down by the debris through the three floors, and was taken out with some severe bruises, none of them, however, conceived to be dangerous. -She was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary. In George-street. a man named Robert Dick, servant to Mr. Mathew. on, 39, was blown off his feet, and falling on the back of his head, was severely hurt. In the High-street, a woman named Rough, or Wilkie, was struck down by some chimney cans falling upon her, and had a l-g and arm broken. A large sign at the head of Careubber's- close, High-street, - 30 inches in length and four in depth, was blown from the wall, fortunately without hurt to any one; and at Leopold-place, the 'greater part of the balustrades on the tops of the houses, from Elm-row to Windsor-street, were blown clown; but from the quarter which the wind blew, they fell inwards and rested on the roof. The whole of our streets wele strewed iu the morning with broken cans, Wes, &e., brought down from the roofs, and in the .cuntry stacks were blown down in farm yards, and trees in various exposed situations. Only cne boat was enabled to cross from Burntisland to Granton. in the course of the morning and forenoon. About ten o'clock, during the heaviest of the gale, the ferry boat f. om Granton, having the Defiance coach on board, made the point of .Burntisland Pier ; but, another steamer lying there at the time, she could not be got in, and was obliged to back out again, when she got away over about Inchkeith, but not being able to remain there, she was compelled to wear and run down for shelter below King horn. However, by two or three o'clock the wind fell, and the boats resumed their ordinary course. It would appear that the s orm was as severely felt in the west as here, and that in Glasgow it was also attended with loss of life. For the following particulars we are indebted to the Editor of the Glasgow Chronicle:— " Early this morning we were visi ed with a tremen dous hurricane of wind, such as has not occurred here for a long period, by which numerous accidents were oc casioned, and several lives lost. The gale raged with its greatest fierceness between six and ten o'clock, and in that time the streets, particulai ly in the suburbs, were strewed with broken chimney cans, slates, - and other mis siles from the house-tops. The most serious accident in connexion with the storm that has come to our knowledge is that of the blowing down of a house (about nine o'clock) in the printworks of Messrs. H. Monteith & Co. at Barrowfield, by which two girls were killed on the spot, and five others so much injured, that they are not expected to sur vive. Such was the force of the wind at one time, that the driver of a city omnibus was blown off his seat while his vehicle was passing through Great Hamilton-street, by which ho was violently thrown to the ground. In the fall, the wheels passed over his legs, and the poor man was severely injured. The roof of a house in Great Hamilton-street was blown in about the same time, but we have not heard if any persons were in it when the accident occurred. The entire stone chimney of a house in Galloweeate was blown down, but no one was hurt. A man about b 80 years of age was thrown to the ground near Charlotte-street, by the force of the wind, and was so much bruised, that he had' to be carried home ; while in Jamaica-street an aged female was knocked over, and had one of her shoulders dislocated and her thigh bone broken. The gable of a new house in Garnet Hill was blown down, but no person was injured. In several houses in the same locality, the whole of' the windows fronting the street were blown in, and a number of the tenants, through fear, left their houses. Two or three houses in that part of the town have been unroofed. A chimney stalk fell through the roof of a house in Anderston, the inmates of 'which had a narrow escape. Several trees were torn up by the roots in the Green, and in the neighbourhood a fourteen-inch wall and gate es ere blown down. These and other casualties of a similar nature all occurred about the same time. At the hour we went to press a considerable quantity of rain had fallen, which somewhat helped to allay the .force of the hurricane, which is now nearly abated. From all parts of the country we learn that the storm had raged with fearful violence, in many cases nearly blocking up the turnpike roads with uprooted trees, hedges, &c. The gale was from the south-West. NORTHERN RCUI7'.-&-Durham, March 6. CROWN SIDE.--(Before Mr. Justice PA'rEF-SON.) CuARGE OF MURDER.—Margaret Stoker, a girl 23 years of age, was indicted for having. on the 24th day of Novem ber last, at Pattington Hallgarth, wilfully killed and mur dered Hannah Stoker, her chit!, aged 13 months. Mr. Monteath and Mr. A. D. Johnstone appeared to con duct the prosecution; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins defended the prisoner. Isabella Davison—On Sunday, the 23d of November last, Margaret Stoker came to our house, between six and seven o'clock at night. The prisoner had not a child with her then. I heard one of the people in the house ask how she had wet her gown, and she said she had fallen down. Her face was dirty. I saw her again between eight and nine next morning. She said a woman had put her child into the beck. She appeared distressed, and cried much. I went to the burn side with her, and lifted the child out. It was quite dead. It appeared to have been so for some time. When I took the child out of the beck I placed it on the grass. I then saw that one of the hands was eaten off. I thought it might have been eaten off by the water-rats. The flesh was all jagged and torn. Prisoner said she was bet with the child; it was too much for her. The same after noon she told me she had tossed it into the beck herself. Ocher witnesses were examined; after which The jury retired for about ten minutes, and then pro nounced the following verdict—Guilty, bat with the strongest and most earnest recommendation to your Lord ship's mercy. The Learned JUDGF then passed sentence of death upon the prisoner. The prisoner was much affected, and shrieked as she was removed from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A HUSBAND AT FIFTEEN, AND A THIEF.—Mr. Gil bert; of Paternoster-row, prosecuted a youthful couple, the man 15 and the woman 19, under the following cir cumstances :—lt appeared Richard Ives, the lad in question, was in the employ of Mr. Gilbert, who in trusted him with 311. the latter end of the last month, in order that he might procure for him the various maga zines, so that they might be distributed to his cuhtomtrs. The boy took the money, but instead of fulfilling the mission of his master, he forthwith betook himself to a fair lady in his own vicinity, Fore-street, and in duced her to elope with him to Manchester, where they re-clothed themselves from top to toe, and afterwards got joined together by special license - in holy wedlock. When the happy couple were takes only 11. was found upon the male prisoner, so that in the short space of seven (lays, their honeymoon, they had managed to get rid of the remainder. Both the parents of the parties appeared to disapprove of the step which the young pair had taken, and even the father of the youth actually adopted the im prudent course of turning him out of his house, in order that he might not continue the. courtship; and even the happy couple themselves did not appear to enjoy that bliss which ought to be a consequence of a happy mar riage. Mr. Gilbert (who acted with humanity through out), after stating his case, somewhat relented, and said he wished to see the youth provided for by his friends, in which case ho offered to withdraw the charge, but Mr. Alderman Kelly thought it his duty to remand the hus band until Tuesday, and discharged the wife. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Chelnqford, March 6. (Before Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.) FITCH v. CUTTS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an autioneer at Steeple Bumpstead, to reco% er from the de fendant, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of NVitharn, the sum of 1401, for a quantity of wine he had purchased at a sale, but which he afterwards refused to receive. There.were several pleas put upon the record by the defendan', but the principal one was that the sale in.question had been conducted in a fradulent nianter, and that the wine did not belong to the pers9n whose property it was represented to be. Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Petersdorff were for the plaintiff ; and Sergeant Shee, Sergeant Jones, and Mr. Rose for the defendant. The trial commenced on Friday afternoon, and did not conclude until late in the evening. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Coun sel for the plaintiff, that in the beginning of last year a gentleman named Stevens, who kept a large establish- ment called. Bower Hall, in this county, died, and on the 31st of March, there was a sale of his furniture and other effects. at which the plaintiff officiated as auctioneer. It would seem that at the time of his death; Mr. Stevens had only a small quantity of wine, some twenty dozen or so, in his cellar, and as it was necessary to pay 101. for a wine licence, the auctioneer obtained the consent of the executors to " introduce" some other wine, and accord ingly nearly two hundred doz 'n of port and sherry were introduced into the catalogue. When the sale took place, there was a large assemblage of buyers, and among them the defendant and, as Mr. Stevens was supposed to be a great connoisseur in wine, some considerable com petition took place to' possess it. According to the evidence for the plaintiff, as soon as Mr. Stevens's genuine wine was sold, the auctioneer publicly stated the fact, and at the same time told the company that the wine he was then about to sell would be disposed of by sample, and that they would form their judgment upon its value. It was represented that, after this, the defendant tasted the dlfferent samples, and eventually made purchases to the amlunt of 1401, but on his being afterwards applied to to take his wine away, and pay the value, he refused to have anything to sale, P'l h i t e li the a w t h io cross - examination e the ui do with it, an d, a ft er some n e gociation, the present action was bro ug ht, to comp e l him to fulfil his contract. U cataloguesth ew ine we anostif describeda t d h v e e rtisemase witnesses,nhtesi being g t f tap pearedtheh property of Mr. Stevens, and a most glowing descrip tion was gi ven o f i t, portbeing mostly described as fine rich old port, in bottle • the sherry of • &c. &c. ; and it also appeared, that at the time the wine so described was not actually even in the collar of Mr. Stevens, but was only bro ug h t down from London throe or four days before the sale. An auctioneer named Surtidge, residing at Cog geshall, who had beea instrumental in getting up the sale, admitted in cross-examination tha t shortl y before the sale he held a judgment for 1401. against a person at Coggeshall, and that he went to a wine-merchant in Rood-lane and gave tills judgmennt, and about 50/. or WORSHIP-STREET. . Thomas Brown, a young man, eighteen years of age, who has been three weeks in custody, was placed at the bar before :Mr. Broughton, for re examination, upon a charge of stealing large quantitisie of candles, tobacco, and other goods, belonging to his mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Brown, a very respectable old widow, who keeps an oil and pickle warehouse in the Bethnal. green-road ; and Charles Henry Gross, who carries on business as a general dealer, in Coliingwood-street, Bethnal-green, was placed at the bar with him, charged with feloniously receiving the stolen propply. From the evidence given at former examinations, it appeared that a large parcel of candles, which had been packed up and placed in concealment, ready to be carried away, was discovered by a younger son of the prose cutrix ; and the prisoner, Thomas Brown, who lived with his mother, but, was not employed in her shop, was accused, and subsequently acknowledged his guilt. In consequence of a statement made by Sergeant Teakle, of the H division, is reference to Cross, Thomas Brown was discharged from the bar, and was afterwards placed in the witness box and sworn. He deposed that about four months back a young man, who was in his uncle's service, first introduced him to the prisoner Cross, telling the , latter his name and who he was, and saving that he hid tobacco to dispose of. Cross said that lie would buy it, and pay half•a-crown a pound for it, and the witness having about 11b. with him which he had stolen from his mother's, sold it, and re• ceived the half crown. That was on a Sunday morning, and ho remained at the prisoner's till dinner time, when he went home and cleaned himself, and in the afternoon he returned to the prisoner's. The prisoner asked him if he could get any more tobacco, or any candles, or anything else, adding that he would pay 3d. a pound for candles. In a few days he took another pound of tobacco to the prisoner, and received half-a-crown fur it as before, and the prisoner at the same time asked him to bring more, or candles, or anything. About a week after ward e he took two dozen pound of candles, fur which the prisoner *paid him 63., and the prisoner than asked him if he could get soap or bees-a ax. He replied in the affirmative, and soon afterwards took eight bars of yellow soap, (31b. each bar), fur which the prisoner agreed to pay him 2d. per pound. When weighed, it amounted to 55., but the prisoner only gave him 4s. He continued for four or five weeks carrying candles two or three times a-week, one or two dozen ponnds at a time; for which the prisoner paid him sometimes 3d., but sometimes only 2d. per lb., quantities of bees' wax, starch, &c. Once he took a broom, worth 3s. 6d., but the prisoner would only give him is. 61 for it, as he said he could get plenty of them at that rate. On one occasion he took a jar of capers (weighing 4 or 51b.), and the prisoner having emptied them into ajar of his own, returned him the empty jar, and paid him 10d. He continued in this way conveying things to the prisoner, until a lot of candles, which he had concealed for the purpose, being found by his brother, he was detected. The prisoner, lie said, had several times cheated him in the prices agreed on between them. Mr. Heritage severely cross-examined the witness, Rho, in reply to some of the questions, said he did not know the prisoner until introduced by the young man to whom he referred ; and he said he told the prisoner that he had gut the tobacco from his mother, but did not tell him that he was a thief and had stolen it. The only person he had seen since he had been in prison was his - uncle; who, he said, told him that if he told all he knew he would do what he could for him, and would get him off if he could. Mr. Broughton, after some further examination, said that it was one of the worst cases of,rec-iving that had ever come before hi,to, supposing the evidence of Brown to be true, and he gave it without hesitation, and with out concealing his own guilt. Mr. Heritage submitted that no reliance could safely be placed on such testimony. The magistrate, however, remanded the prisoner to have the depositions taken i'or his committal. WESTMINSTER. John Freeman, a dirty-looking fellow, was charged with having stolen a great coat from a gentleman's hail, and also with having visited a next door neighbour with the same object in _view. Susan Jarvis, a housemaid in the service of Mr. Dun• can, a gentleman residing at 14, Albert-terrace, Knights bridge, said that at about half-past seven on Thursday night, prisoner knocked at the doOr, and upon its being opened asked for some things to dye, for which he had been sent for by his master, a dyer in Bond-street. Wa nes.; went to a.lt her mistr•ss about it, I. aviug the street door ajar, and the prisoner on the step, but on her return ALARMING FIRE. Shortly after two o'clock on Sunday morning, a fire of rather an alarming nature broke out upon the pre mises in the occupancy of Mr. W. H. Carlin, tobacco nist, carrying on business at 25, Ludgate-street, adjoin ing the Daniel Lambert Tavern, St. Paul's. The first discovery was made by one of the female servants in the Daniel Lambert. Smoke which she saw issuing from the lower part of the adjoining premises satisfied her that the building was on fire. Having raised an alarm, she was quickly joined by a body of police with Mr. Inspector Woodruffe. The first thing that was sought to be accomplished was the arousing of the inmates, but that was not done without considerable trouble, and not before the flames had made such fearfnl havoc in the back portion of the premises as to cut off all means of escape by the stlircascs. The residents, however, having . succeeded in getting upon the roof of the building, passed ulong the same, and' escaped through the adjoining houses. By that period the whole of the back rooms were on fire from the basement to the roof, and it was strongly feared that the contiguous premises would likewise have been consumed. The engines from Paringdon-street, Watling-street, Holborn, and the West of England stations promptly attended, as well as numerous others of the brigade, and the County Office. An abundant supply of water was speedily obtained, and the fireman at once took advantage of the same, and a copious stream was dis tributed into the building. It was past three o'clock before the flames were ex tinguished, and= not before the whole of the back pQr tion of the building and the contents therein were destroyed, and the adjoining premises damaged by biro and water. The origin of the fire could not be learned. Mr. Carlin was insured in the Imperial Fire Office. The front part of the building has escaped de struction. The Royal Society for the Protection of Life from fire had one or their escapes speedily at the scene, but the inmates having previously escaped, its services were not required. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVER POOL. LIVERPOOL, FRlDAY.—Between one and two o'clock this morning, a fire was observed to issue from one of the flues belonging to Mr. Moore's extensive soap manu factory, corner of Leeds•street, Vauxhall-road, but so quick was the fiery element, that before word reached the fire-police station, the whole building was in flames. Engines from various offices were immediately on the spot, bat before they could render effective assistance the roof had fallen in, and the fire was making rapid progress downwards through the second floor. The top story, where the fire originated, is called the oil-room, and being stowed with all sorts of inflammalde oily matter was quickly in a blaz.', communicating destruction to the whole premises; the engine room was in that part of the premises which &St caught fire, leaving little doubt that the over heating of the flue or flues was the imindiate cause of the disaster. Great anxiety was manifested for the safety of the soap-room, adjoining the building on fire, the roof, floor, and many of the soap frames, having caught; there being, however, a plentiful supply of water, this part of the property was soon placed out of danger, and the only care of the fire brigade was to stop the progress of the flames to the adjoining houses, and to a cellar underneath, containing a large quantity of turpentine. In leis than two hours the building where the fire originated was completely gutted, some vats alone being saved. Not many minutes before the fire was observed, one of the superintendents of police passed the place, and then all was perfectly safe to appearances ; so rapid, however, was the progress of the flames that the inhabitants of a court adjoining the north side of the soapery were only "aroused from their imminent danger by the red-hot appearance of the walls in their vicinity. Several of the poor creatures, having first rescued their children from the impending ruin, re turned to save what they could of bedding and other ne cessary articles of furniture, all more or less damaged, from being thrown through the windows, &c., in the hurry and confusion of the moment. We understand the proprietor, Mr. Moore, is insured in the Royal Exchange and Atlas offices for 1,5001. each ; but the damage, though heavy, is not yet correctly ascer tained. The successful efforts of the firemen are in a great degree attributable to the plentiful supply of water on the premises. THE WssT INDIA Man.—Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, the West India mail arrived at S rithanipfon , per the Tevoit, Captain Allen. The Tevoit brings 470,282 dollars, 66,102 of which are from Vera Cruz and Tampico, on account of the dividends. The latest dates are, Jamaica, Feb. 7; Barbadoes, Feb. 9; and Bermuda, Feb. 20. The Tevoit brings no political intelligence of importance from Mexico. Under date, " Tampico J a n. 21, there is the fol lowing paragraph :—" Several officers arrived this evening from Matamoros. They state that the commander of the battalion de Zapadoreg, stationed at that place, had pro nounced for a plan which General Arista has formed, in op• position to the President Paredes, ,and as they would not acquiesce, they asked and received' their passports for this place. General Arista's plan consists, according to the on dits in a separation of the northern states of the Mexican republic from the southern, or rather a kind of federative system, but as yet nothing is certain. The conducteur, with 2,000,000 dollars for the .Tevoit, had not arrived at Tampico when she left ; an unfounded report that the T w ,, re kit the Goivlucteur ErmaoLt the to attacl; ke coast." _~.~ W Snwoodia—Www wW_ oF BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHO i dcd°lo Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the SavoY-step`, , ea JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprfeed of the nanw',.." l .bet (lei:yours made by many persons to impose a spurious Niue of 10 make, feel It Incumbent on them to request the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the arig in ite goo ll serve the Name and Address correspond with the above.
