Though several collieries in particular districts pcs- • sess good plans and sections of their workings, and an inspection of such plans end sections affords a vieiv of the system of ventilation and general mote of working adopted, this is far from being the case generally, arid has been much regretted alike by the enlighted coal owners and by the public. The importance of correct plans and sections has been promir.er.tly pointed out, . both by the Committee of the House of Commons in 1835, and in the report of the South Shields Committee of 1843; indeed, the necessity of them is sufficiently obvious. Should the suggestion of a system of judicious inspec tion be deemed worthy of consideration, the ready access to proper plans and sections of collieries, brought up to given times, would necessarily form a part of any general syl-tem of regulations. If correct (and power to ascertain that they were so would he essential), they would at once disclose the system of working and venti lation adopted, and, with information respecting the police regulations, and an account of the kind of lights employed, would at once afford a general view of the mode of conducting any particular colliery, and of the adjestmeet of the workings to conditions. It being considered that safety lamps, properly used, do effect much security in the working of coal, and that in so many cases explosions do take place when they are not employed, it has often been suggested that the Le gislature should corn, el the general use of safety lamps in coal mines. But. on the other hand, there are many collieries in which fire damp never app' ars, and it would ' justly be considered a hardship in such cases to compel a precaution altogether unnecessary. We would =tiegest that it could not be considered un just for the Legislature to compel the use of safety 'emus in all fiery collieries; and, in the pre,ent state of Ihe law of property, it m'ght even be prudent to assum " that all collieries in districts where explosions have been frequent are fiery, putting the onus probundi that they are not upon the owners of such collieries, if proved to the sati-faction of inspectors that no reasonable danger was to be apprehended in their collieries, liee . ese ht be given for them to work with naked candles, this cen-e ceasing at short pet iods, but being renewable on ascertaining that the condition of the mine had not al ered. Careful investigations into the causes of explosions in colliery s, only part of which arrest public auk ntion by their magnitude, appear to have led to the very general conclusion that the condition of our collieries is most unequal. While in some localities there is so little to • improve that it becomes subject of regret that such examples should more generally he followed, in others it becomes a matter of surprise how the works can be permitted to remain in so defective a state, seeing that the owners themselves suffer much loss thereby. Under such a state of things, and considering the number of valuable lives annually lost by colliery explosions, the contime d risk to which so many are daily exposed, the national injury sustained by the imprudent' and careless mode of extracting coal in. many 1 ,- calitics. one often felt puressively also by the parties engag e d in colliery spe culations, and that the workings for coal must be ad justed to local conditions, we are led to consider that ti,ese evils might be at least mitigated by the careful and judicious inspection of convenient districts by com petent persons, the necessary funds to be raised front such districts by a very slight impost, not even exceed ing one farthing on each ton of coal raised in it ; and we believe that the cauee of humanity arid the interests of the coalowners would be alike benefited by a well considered legislative measure of this kind. We have, &c., H. T. LE LA BECHE. LYON PLAYFAIR. .. often actir.g as a train, and communicating the explosion to the pent-up reservoirs of gas in the goal's. It is thus that in almost all accounts of explosions two are gene rally described as taking place ; the first local and at the seat of the explosion ; the second more general, and aided by an accumulation of foul gas in other outs of the pit. In 1835 a Select Committee of the House of Commons' , was appointed to inqiiire " into the nature, cause, and extent of those lamentable catastrophes from explosions which have occurred in the mines of Great Britain, with the view of ascertaining and suggesting the means of preventing the recurrence of similar fetal accidents." The Committee were enabled ter este vain that during the twenty-five years preceding these inquiries, 2,070 persons bad perished front colliery explosions ; and they considered this numb r much underrated. During the last ten years the rate of loss of lite from this cause, has certainly not diminished. The experience of the past year has shown that considerably more than 100 fens - eis have been known to have thus perished. It has so unfortunately happened that during the few months we have been engaged upon this iecptiry two explosions, one at Jarrow, in Durham, and the other at Risco., in Monmouthshire, have together dci rived seventy-six persons of their lives, fiwty-one having perished at the former, and thirty-five at the latter. As much doubt has been thrown upon the real safety of the Davy lamp, it is but jusi ice to the memory of Sir Humphry Davy to state that he was perfectly aware that, if a proper mixture of fire damp and common air were thrown against the lamp with sufficient force to project the flame upon the g uze cylinder, it might communicate with the flame, and ca:h.e explosion. Mr. Puddle, in his evidence (tsport of Committee of 1835, No. 2,226 and 2.227), clearly shows this to have been the case. He mention an experiment at Morton W est pit, where a very power ful blower from the shaft was tried with the lamp, when th e fl am e passed and the blower was fired. Sir Humphry - Davy then, addressing Lord Durhan and many other persons who were present, said, " Now, gentlemen, you see the nature of the danger to which you are exposed in using the lamp, and -I caution you to guard-against it in the manner I have shown you. This is to show the only case in which the limp will explode; and I caution and warn you not to use it in any such case when you can avoid it without using the shield." The shield re cummeeded was one of tin, inside the cylinder, to pre vent.a current of " fire damp" from acting on the flame. Mr. 'Buddle stated before the committee that in the lamps used in the collieries under his management the shield passed from one-half to two thirds round the inside of the cylinder, and, being bright, reflected the light to such an extent as to be more advantageous than a glass cylinder inside that of wire gauze, a contrivance often recommended to obviate the risk of currents of fire damp. Without desiring, in the slightest degree, to cast un necessary doubt on the safety of the Davy lamp, sine we consider its cautious use an immense boon to cod tubing, and believe that much addiiienal security is ob• tained by the proper use of the I , ri_iNal Davy, or of its improvements, it can scarcely be denied that far more care in the use of safety lamps is needed than is com monly employed. Although shields or glass cylinders are used in some localities, they are never employed in others ; and the bare single cylinder of wire gauze, m t always properly manufactured, is the only form in which the Davy lamp is known. And it should be observed, that with a few local exceptions, the Davy lamp is that commonly employed. Numerous modifications, and in some cas -s improvements, of the sally lainp have been made ; hut, either from the expense, or want of sim plicity in management, have never come generally into use. It has been at various times proposed, during the last eight. years, el employ electricity as a means of lighting collieries. The electricity, streaming be tween two charcoal points from a Grove's or Bunsen's battery, affords a light of much beauty, ' and perfectly safe, it' completely surrounded by glass, but capable of igniting an explosive mixture if ex posed. Professor Grove has constructed a lamp on this principle, which 'ho kindly prepared for us, and which we have examined in action. 'eft consisted of a box, con tali-deg four galvanic cells, drld the light was obtained by the passage of electricity between two coils of plati num wire. These were surrounded with glass vessels: , the inner one for the purpose of isolation, the exterior ' one being filled with water, so as to destroy the light should the inner glass vessel be broken. The light elven out was rather more than that of a minor's candle. This, certainly, is a safe lamp, brit in its present state, still unfitted for the purpose of the collier as at pre emit ar racgetl. The acids, sulphuric and nitric, render the limp so iiiennveniewly le-avy, that both hatii:s must be used in carrying it; besides, from act *beteg eotered. the spilling of these corrosive liquids en the persons of the , miners could scarcely be avoided. The water in the r x tenor vessel soon becomes heated, sad ultimately boils, a-id the light only lasts in proper strength for two or three hours. There must, therefore, be considerable modification in this lamp before it can be rendered avail able fur ordinary mining purposes, which we may readily expect, from the acknowledged talent of its inventor. Great improvements were introduced in the ventila tion of collieries ire many districts, when the course of air was quickened by means of a furnace established near the bottom of the upcast abaft, or through that which the foul air passes outwards,' - and more' partibu: larly when, in the north of England, instead of' per. mitting the air introduced by the downcast shaft to pars slowly and imperfectly along a course i , f twenty or thirty nsii.es of passages, it was split or divided into separate courses, from two to six miles in length. Those, how ever, who may possess an extended acquaintance with our collieries in different parts of the ceuntry cannot but be aware, that as is whale their general ventilation is very impertZ ct, good as it may be in some collieries, particu larly in certain dibtrivc.s.

(1110 QbAlYatiOn FATAL DUEL A f BAYONNE. A sanguinary and fatal duel has taken place at Bayonne between two officers of the 60th Regiment, quartered there. The ore who MI received three wounds, two of which were in the breast. This unfortu nate evmA is, perhaps, without example in the aatials of duelling, as the laws of honour prescribe to seconds the immediate cessation of the combat the moment blood has been drawn by either of the principals. But, on the present occasion the two sec , nl4, subalterns in the above-mentioned corps, and very young men, allowed themselves to be intiraWated by the deceased, who, to great pis) sical strength, joined considerable proficiency in the use of the sabre. A very trivial dispute was the cause of the encounter, and on separating the pre vious day, the effiver who full assured his adversary that he would kill him on the morrow, advising him at the same time to make his will, or not fi.dit him. The first wound he received was on the right hand, which excited him to such a pitch of frenzy, that on the seconds at tempting to but an end to the strife, he swore he would 'run the first m-in through, who interposed between him and hi 4 foe, and consequently th siconds permitted these two officers to fight to the death, contrary to all the laws of humanity and honour. What is worse, it appears that this unfortunate was abandoned at a mo ment when prompt succour might have stopped the .hemorrhage of his wounds, and perhaps saved his life. General Harispe, commanding the tuilitery division of the Basses Pyrenees, justly indignant at the conduct of the two seconds, sent them under arrest to the citadel, where they will remain in confinement fur two months until the decision of the Mini.ter of War as to their future punishment is known. It will probably be as severe as they merit. The surviving principal is to be tried by a Court-martial, and will probably escape better ;ban the above-mentioned individuals. It is to be remarked that the clergy of Bayonne re fused the sacred offices of the Church to the fallen cow i)atant, who, however, was attended to the grave by all the officers of the garrison of Bayonne.

The justices of assize for this circuit, the Hon. Sir John Patteson and the Lion. Sir John Taylor Coleridge, arrived here at half-past ten o'clock, and having opened the commission for the county and borough, proceeded to attend divine service at All Saints' Church, at eleven, and shortly after one o'clock took their seats in the county hall, Mr. Justice Patteson presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Coleridge (who, though apparently still far from well, and showing manifest in dications of having been recently labouring under severe and protracted illness, yet seemed, we are most happy to be able to kitty, convalescent) taking Lis appoint e d seat oh the Civil Side. The calendar is remarkably light for this county. pre-enting only . twelve cases, and the names of eleven prisoners for trial, of whom one stood indicted upon two charges of setting 'fire to barns, stables, stacks, &c.; one for assault with intent to rob; one for stealing from the person; one for breaking and entering a dwellieg•house ; and one for cone, almg the birth of a child. The other cases were of a most trifling character. There appeared to be one case only in the borough, which was for cutting and wounding. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) At the sitting of the Court, Frank Cox (nut in the calendar) was indicted for ail ul and corrupt perjury. Mr. Macaulay appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Miller for the prisoner. It appeared that at the Michaelmas S , ssions, 1845. an appeal was tried here—Pickworth, Rutlandahire, !writs. end Wakerley, Northa:npton,hire, respondents. One of the grounds of appeal was, that the husband of the pauper had gained a s-ttlement by hiring and ser vice at a place called Barrowden, in Rutlandshire. The defendant Cox swore on that occasion that he knew Ite pauper; that he (the witness) was 65 y, ars c,f age; and that he,n hen he was 10 or 11 years old, and the pauper's husband went together to Morcutt Statutes in 1789 or 1790, anl that he (the witness) was hired by a Mr. Tsylor, of Barrowden, and at the same time the pauper was hired by a Mr. Francis Wright,.of thQ,same place;. 'that ho *heard Wright and the pauper bargain for is twelvetnonth; and that bath he and the pauper remained in such resp. ctive service, at Barrowden, tor a twelve month and two days. Upon this testimony the order was quashed. The evidence now went to show that the prisoner was eight or nine years younger than he had sworn at the trial of the appeal, and, oon,equently, that what he then deposed to could not possibly be true, and, in shirt. the story he had told was an entire fabrication from beginning to end.

His Lordship then want at some lem.qh into the criminal returns of the country, which showed that while crime had decreased in the north, or manufacturing dis tricts, it had increased in the southern, or agricultural districts. His Lordship also referred to the very large proportion female prisoners bore to males in the criminal returns. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 11. RAILWAY FRAUD.—A trial upon three several in dictments for fraud in respect to railway shares by a railway sharebroker, which has occasioned great interest in a certain circle, and which had been postponed at the desire of the itemised from the last assizes, was, by ap pointment, brsught on to-day. The court was full beyond precedent, the prissner and his prosecutor having been Jong on very intimate terms, and both men of respectability. Herman Julius Marcus, bite a sharebroker in the town of Leeds, out on hail since last assizes, appeared at the bar charged with fergieg a transfer of shares in the London and Croydon Railway, intending thereby to de. fraud Mr. Lupton, the late mayor of Leeds. Mr, HALL, Recorder' of Leeds, statsd the case, which will be best detailed in the language of the following witnesses, examined after the forged documents were put in and formally proved : The clerk of the London and Croydon Railway Corn pany moved the transfer of the shares in July, August. and October last. - Th e r e t h :ris nd f . ; of writing of the prisoner, as attesti ng w i tness to th the shares, was proved by the clerk to the firm of Marcus (the prisoner), Naylor, and Co.; the name of Danton Lupton, in the transfer, was also, he said, in Marcus's handwriting. Cross-examined — Mr. Lipton had, in August la t. looked at toe company's book. Saw the entry of it, transaction. He ea‘t up the account, and said there was a balance of profit on the shares, hut remarks4l, are not mine.' Mr. Lupton and the prisoner were on terms of close acqusintanee. Prisoner came in soon after, and was told what Mr, Lupton had said. Prisoner renliecl. " Well, if he won't have a profit I cannot help its° The entries were for 100 shares. sold to Danton Lupton, conditionally upon the preamble of ' the Ports neaith Attoosphi•rio Railway Bill being proved, at 231. 2:i. 6.1. per share ; for 10 shares. at 221. 103, ; for 50 shares, at 241. 7s. 61; and for 40. at 251.129. 6d. The accounts were alt stated in the ledger, where Mr. Lupton saw them, and also that the profit was •170/. on them. Besides these the firm had several other transactions with the prosecutor, and eight of them were for some 1,500 i, and subsequent to the transactions entrnarated by the witness. They sometimes sold or transferred 2,000 shares a day in the (Bee of Marcus, Naylor. and Co. D. Lupton said—l am a merchant, residing, in Leeds, and employed Marcus, Naylor, cad Co. as stiarebrokers. I always dealt with them for ca-h. I never have authorised the prisoner to buy or sell for me any London. and Croydon share s . Th e s i gnature prisoner, or any one else, to for never authoti se d hi m to ma k e ise m tl e. the l in the transfer, "D. Lupton," i s not my wr i t i ng. I for ma time or conditional bargains in s h ares . Il e „s n i e g v n e r theme li: did represent to me that he could make good bar slties for me in the market. - I then told him he might purchase for me scrip to the amount of 1,0001. Before that I had had but one share transaction with him, when he bought Lancaster and Carlisle shares for 1,0001. for me. I never authorised any buying of London and Croydon shares. When he bought or sold for me, he informed me that day or ths following, and I gave him the money. I told his clerk to look over my account, and when I saw that entry of the L :radon and Croydon shares, I said they were not mine, though put down is me; and I crossed the entry out in pencil. I met the pris ,-, ner on the stairs war out, and mentioned this entry. HA sal. it was a mistake. C:oss-examined—l have ben on • terms of frieruPy inVreourse with the prisoner. The firm is since bank rupt. The prisoner stood very high in L eels as a patro l; of literary and scientific institutions and literary p.-rsons. I believe that on one riccasion I told him to purchase scrip for me. The order was nut to exceed 1,0001. in that case. Re-examined—l em quite certain that authority was only to purchase 'scrip. The signature, "D. Lupton," is an imitaioa or copy of my own name, as I write it. Iti reply to Justice CRESSWELL—He never sold scrip fur me without my limiting the price. Mr. Naylor, late partrn r in the business with the pri soner, said the transfer deeds had passed in the usual course through hi: hands ; but the purchase and :ale of the London and Croydon Railway shares bad been transacted by the prisoner alone. Cross.extimined—On this occasion when the ielline broker sent to witness for the principal's names the pri soner was absent, and the witness sent the name of Mr. Lupton as the principal. This he attempted to acceunt for by saying that there was then a great press of busi ness in their office, and it was not unlikely that such mistake might have occurred unwittingly. He admitted that the signature to the transfer, "D. Lupton," was in the prisoner's handwriting. The cater of the Court read the de*.ds of transfer of shares. They were to appearance signed, sealed, &e.. by Dsnton Lupton, in the presence of H. J. Marcus, by whom the execution of the deed was witnessed and also signed. This was the case for the prowentinn. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said he bad been relieved much of his anxiety as the ease proceeded, from the de velopment of its singular history, upon which he believed he might safely rely for a verdict of acquittal for his client. Their extensive transactions together, and the intimacy subsisting between the prisoner and the prose ' cutor, might well have induced Mr. Marcus to believe that he was justified in making an advantageous purchase for a friend so largely engaged as Mr. Lipton was in railway speculations. By it the prisoner got nothing f, , r himself, and Mr. Lupton aright have taken the profit of it, had it not been considered preferable, strangely enough, to institute these criminal proceedings. What could have there been criminal or fraudulent in contem plation of the prisoner by the course he had pursued ? His own name in the transfer would have done just as well as that of Lupton. In fact, no one had beeu defrauded, nor was it, as it turned out, even possible the prosecutor could have been defrauded in these transactions. There had been no effort made when the signatures to the deeds were seen to conceal the resemblance of the hand writing in both instances, which clearly aopeared to be written by the same person in style and character. Mr. Lupton, at the period when, in August last, he in spected the prisoner's books, thought there was nothing blameable in the entry of these shares to him; for he subsequently employed Marcus to transact other business of the same kind for him to the amount of 1,5004 worth of shares. No attempt had been made to smooth difficulties, remove suspicion, or conceal any thing, though the prisoner Inuit know that in the way of business the dividend- warrants must be cent to Mr. Lup-. ton, as owner of the shares, by the London and Croydon Railway-office clerks, which would at once have disclosf , d the whole transaction, had any attempt been made at concealment. _ _ Most respectable witnesses, including Mr. Baines. Lai- M.P. ; Mr. Lucceck, Mayor of Leeds ; and R. Fl oat, Esq., were called into the box, and stated they had _known the prisoner long, and he had always borne an unimpeachable et , aracter as a man of strict honour and , integrity. Mr. Justice CnEsSwELL "said; if the Learned Counsel for the prosecution wished it, he would now leave the case to the jury, aed reserve the point for the consid,.. ration of the judges hereafter whether any evidence of the fraud imputed had been adduced? He confessed he could not see how Mr. Lupton nor yet 'the railway com pany could be defrauded in tin se transactions, which would entitle Mr. Lupton to the dividends on the shares, for which shares he incurred no liability, the regikitrY.,if • the sh ares i n hi s ' name eonstituting a title in Kim. The company could not have been defrauded had the trans fer been to a mere pauper. It had no claim en the shareholders for further advances, the railway having been, it was well known, in activity and open for some years, and all the calls necessary most likely were paid up. Mr. HALL said he should not, after this opinion of the case from his Lordship's lips, press the care. His LORDSHIP told the jury it was his impression that no such consequence could, according to the evidence submitted in the cause, hue arisen. There was no evidence of the fraud with s, hid) the prisoner was charged by the indictment. He should, therefore, advice the jury to acquit the prisoner; who, being acquitted, was again arranged on the other tw., indictments, on which no evidence, however, was offered by Mr. Hall, who was assisted by Mr. Boothby in these prucetdings, and the prisoner was acquitted. On his discharge he was surrounded by numerous friends in the hall, who cordially greeted him upon th e occasion of his acquittal.

' The latt er case h a d b een specially appointed f or t h is as will be seen, The Learned JUDGE, in t:is charge to the grand jury, said, he had the opportunity of congratulating them that, up - m the present ocetreion, they really would have As many as seven or eight cases to try. They would, 'in fact, have something to do, which was somewhat miraculous. There were seventy-two of the jury, all of whom had been brought to that court hitherto to do nothing. Upon the last occasion the wid, seventy-two had been in attendance, and on their arrival it had been found that there was but one prisoner for trial, and upon the bill of indictment being taken before the grand jury, that body bad thrown it out. There had, therefore, not been any c" for trial; so that the county had be en p u t to the expense, and the jury and officers of the court had been put t, the trouble of coming there unnece;sarily; whiht bad the patty been sent for trial to Clerkenwell, there would have been comparatively neither expense nor inconvenience. However, here they now were with these seven persons tolry, and their trials would cost the county abeut 151. each, whereas if they had been taker to Cterkenwell, the expense to the county would n-t have been more than about as many shillings each. For what re4son or fear what g. , d o purpose these sittings Wet e -e -"tin "d. it was impossible to conceive. Thejery were brought there, the Beech were brought there, the officers of the Court were taken from the perfiirmanee of ether, and, „„ 'n fact, their regular dutivs. The duties of those o f f i cer,: were in another place.

He sircerely hoped that ere long the sittings in that !Awe would he allowed to die away. The maintenance of that Court was a heavy expvnse to the county, and the salaries alone trached to the house were not i-ss than 500/. per annum. A. 4 he hr :d told them already, there were but seven prisoners for trial, and he-need scarcely advise that they should dispose of them as quickly as the nature of the cases would permit, and then they would the more speedily be able to return to their business. In the uam± , ling case.

The 501 bank-note and tonne of the j,sellcry now pre- . (laced witness could identify as the General's property..

Police-sergeant Gray, C 10, said, in consequence o information he received, he went to Grosvenor.strce on Saturday last, and found the prisoner in a cab quit, drunk. He took the prisoner to the station-house, um on searching him 65/. in notas were found in differen pocket 4, and a (pi ;ntity of jewellery. among which were a ring and a sva. ; there was a 501: bank-note amongs the money.

Pclice-sergeant Gray said, on making further inquiry, he found a bunch of ,eais at the City of Hereford public house, and a miniature and other things at the Hercules hllars public-house, Greek-street. On cross-examination by the solicitor, Gray said the prh,ner was insensibly drunk when first taken into custody. When sober, and told of the nature of tho charge, the prisoner said he could not tell what had in duce(' him to take the propert% from the house, except r. 0 make mse! f "to .k big and flub."

The police stated that the prisoner bud been in prisol before, and that there was g.,,41 reason for believing that he and big companions had carried on a system e infamous extortion in the Park for a length of time. Mr. MALTBY directed the pris, 'tier to be remanded t' Wednesday next, in order to afford time to get evident of the charge on which the prisoner had previously bee convicted. . _ WORSHIP-STREET. A young man, named John Kemp. war placed at the: bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having burgh!. riously entered the premises of Mr. Thomas Layla , d, leather-dresser, in High-street, Shoceditch, and stol. , n gold watch, value of twenty guineas, a quantity of silver spoons, and other articles. It appeared from the evidence that on the night of Thursday last some thieves effected an entrance into the prosecutor's horse through the staircase window. and after ransacking all the lower apartments, aid selecting a d.,v,ri sliver spoons, and other property. proceeded to a bedroom on the secoLd floor, in which female servant was sleeping. with two of her master's children, and actually displacing a gold watch which WAS hanging over their heads, made good their retreat without disturbing any member of the family. In formation of the robbery was. given to the police. and a reward of 5/. having been offered for the capture of the burglar), a man named Oswald Lawrenze, w ho had liitn•l self a short time since been in custody for a shinier offence, in the same neighbourhood, but dischirged. ma d e th e following communication to the police, which result., d in the prisoner's apprehension. Lawrence now stated, that while passing through Petticoat-lane, on the morning after tLe robbery, he saw the prisoner unit a notorious thief namel Cherry, in tlit act of examining a handsome gold watch, in the front a Jew storeilealer's shop. Witness was not aware ir that time of the burglary having been committ d. Inv on afterwards rea•ling the handbill di-scribing the watel, and spoons carri.sl off by the thieves, he suspected the) were the same. and proceeded to a house in ‘Vheel-r -stri et, Spitalfields, which is the resort of such nototi. , u , chsracters, and there m.t the pris.nr•r's accomplo Cherry, whom he had before seen in possession of thi watch, On entering into conversation at d asking him if he had sold the watch aclvintageously, the man re plied that he had only got 31. for it. ; and on his alsi men jotting the spooL,s, he answered that they Were an antigusted fas• i in, only fit to melt ; that they wer. deposed of for a tew and expressed hi, surprise at Eas knowing. any ttii,g :wont the property, but said he supp , sed that Kemp (the prisoner) had told him. He assented to this observation, and immediately informed the police of all the facts he had elici:ed; as he was anxious to clear iris character from the stain that had been cast upon it by his being unjustly charged with the other burglary. Sergeant Barker mentioned a conclusive fact against the prisoner, which was, that on taking him into custod) and telling im the nature of the offence he was charged with, he asked him why he had not also captured the man Cherry, as had likewi , e been concerned in the robbery. The sergeant added, that a second burglar) had been committed on the same night in the prewisei , , of a neighbouring traiesman named Bennett, where (hi, thieves had been disturbed, end retreated so pricipi totoiy, th t 1111P__ or them fist] left his shies behind him. These shins were afterwards adjusted to the feet of the prisoner Kemp, who had on an entirely new pair when taken, and found to fit him exactly. The prisoner earnestly denied ull participation in Mr. Layland'A bur Oar), which he said had been perpetrated by the tnan Cherry; but Mr. BaorouTos expressed hims , ^lf satisfied with the testimony as against the prisoner himself; and ordered hiin to be brought up again next week for the completion of the evidence. A RT-UNION.—COM PETITION IS: SCULPTURE.—The committee of the Art-Union of London, extending the sphere re its useful influence as its means increased, announced some time back " a premium of 5001. fors group or single figure in marble, to be competed for by finished models in plas;er, the Lze of the intended work—the height of the kure wh , er elect, to be not less than 4 ft. 6 in." The competing models. twenty in number, were on Monday exhibited to the public, in the concert-room of the Princess's Theatre. After an inspection of them, we are not able to say that they tend much to enhance our exLting reputation in this walk of art, or warrant any immediate hope of the advent of a brighter state of things for the future. The figures and groups are up , ,n the ordinary subjects, and executed according to the conventional rules. For instance, "Iris Descending," "A Bard," "Tire Contek between the Minstrel and the Nightingale," " Laternal Affection," "Sleep —a Sister and Brother," "Innocence," "Narcissus," " Hero and Leander," " L'Allegro."&c. The task of awarding the prize does not rest with vs, but we may state that the four works which pleased us best are, No. 6, " Sleep—a Sister and Brother;" 8, " A Dancing Girl Rep' Bing ;" 9, " A Deer-stalker in Pursuit;" and 10. " Innocence." Indeed the committee judging from the places allotted to them, seem to have in clined to a similar opinion. Truth tc say, however, they are chiefly pleasing by compari,on with some rough and disagreeable presentiments on either side. They all are wanting in poetry and thought—many of their in execution also.
