The Tories have not yet done exulting at the triumph which they imagine they have achieved by the acces sion of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to their ranks. This is a shock which they appear to take for granted the Ministry will never get over, so full of faith have they suddenly become in the wisdom and influence of that man, who, throughout the best period of his life was one of their bitterest and most successful opponents. But be their feelings on the subject of the Hon. Baronet's apostacy what they may, one thing is cer tain —namely, that his adhesion to Toryism can never benefit the Tory cause, but on the contrary, will have the effect of sinking it still lower in the estimation of the right thinking portion of the community. The time is long since past when Sir FRANCIS BURDETT exercised authority as a politician. He was always known to be, like the late Major CARTWRIGHT, a man of one idea ; and having no longer that one idea to harp on, he has become a mere cypher in the po litical world. But if his views as a statesman were limited even in the meridian of his days, what must they he now, when he has " fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf ;" and what the amount of sagacity that he can bring to the - developement of his new creed ? What Tory, however he may use him as a cat's-paw, will dream of deferring to his opinions, when he finds him hovering on the very verge of dotage ? No, no ; Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S apostacy can do no more good to the Tories than it can do harm to the Reformers. He was always an over-rated man, whose reputation for political sagacity was kept afloat only by the justice of the cause which it was his good fortune to espouse ; and having no longer that to support him, we shall find him descending as rapidly to his level, as he was, for many a long year, raised above it. We trust the Westminster electors will perse vere in their intention of publicly calling on Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to resign his scat. It is a matter that should not be stirred for a moment, and then be per mitted quietly to subside. It should be strenuously agitated, until some final settlement is come to upon it ; otherwise it may induce other trimming Members to imagine that they too may run counter to their hustings' professions, and desert the interests of their constituents with impunity. V .Ve inserted the other day a letter from the corres pondent of a Morning Paper, detailing the particulars of a fraudulent affreement between the Bishop of LONDON, Dr. WILSON, Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral, and the City of London, by which the Church had been deprived of a valuable estate for the space of ninety-nine years, and sustained a loss of nearly half a million sterling. We this (lay publish a second letter from the same quarter, which will be found no less worthy of public at tention. Wc have here a case in which the Church has been stripped.Ar ever of another estate by similar means. The conspirator.; in this instance were the same Bishop of London, a Dr. BROWN, a brother Prebendary of Dr. WILsoN, and the Hon. Mr. FITZROY, a son of the Duke of GRAFTON, the then lessee of the Tottenhall estate. The Church receives a rent of 2541. per annum for this estate, from which the perpetual lessee has already derived one milion and a half, andand the Church, in all, 17,784/.1 This is a fine example of the, conscientious regard which Churchmen pay to the interests of the Church, when their own personal interests come into competi .ion with them. It surely well becomes Bishops and other dignitaries to lift up their voices and prate about Church robbery, when it is thus proved that they themselves are the only parties who deserve to be de nominated Church robbers. Th.- ;e letter of Earl FITZWILLIAM 011 the New Poor Law (which will be found in another co lumn) will be read with feelings of sincere pleasure by every friend of the poor. At a moment when one or two factious prints are endeavouring, by all manner of misrepresenttion, to mislead the public with regard to this most humane and excellent law, the testimony of such a man as Lord FITZWILLIAM in its favour, will do much to overwhelm its unprincipled op ponents with confusion. The Noble Earl cannot, even by those unscrupulous heralds of falsehood, be secured of insensibility or inattention to the 'wants of the poor• Neither can it be said that lie is not a competent witness in this case, for he has made it his business to attend personally to the aciministra .;on of the law, and to watch its working carefully and diligently. The opinion of_ such a man is worth a tlwusand volumes of the trash poured forth by the Times and the Herald ; and what is that opinion `l' What does EarlFitzwilliant, with the best possible means of judging, and with no bias to judge unfairly, say of this law, so much calumniated by the ignorant and ready tools of faction ? Lct our readers mark the following words of the Noble Lord : " Upwards of a year has now elapsed since I have been engaged very assiduously in the administration of the new law, and, from constant and minute observa tion of its effects, I can bear the most confident testi mony to its beneficial tendency. I affirm this not merely with respect to the interests of the rate payers, which I deem the least important consideration, but more espe cially with respect to those of the labouring classes, whose habits, character, and comforts are of far more value in my estimation ; and it is in this point of view that I more particularly prize and admire the operation of the measure. In addition to my own testimony, I can say with truth, I know of no man endued with a kind heart and a sound head who has witnessed its effects who does not disagree with the petitioners, (against it). All who know the law approve of it ; the disapprovers are, without exception among those who know it not." We will venture to say that Lord FITZ WI LI, I AM's experience in this matter is consonant with that of every other candid man in the kingdom, and that the calumniators of this—as the Noble Lord justly calls it—" the most beneficial and successful measure ever passed by the British Legislature"—are to be found only among the ignorant, the factious, and the unprincipled. Letters from San Sebastian of the 20th, and from Bayonne of the 21st inst., state that both Carlists and Christinos have kept within their lines since the close of the affair of the 16th. Reports, however, were in circulation that EVANS was again preparing to take the field--his men burning with a desire to revenge themselves on the Carlists for their recent defeat. General JAUREGUY (EL PASTOR) has instituted rigid inquiries respecting the conduct of the Spanish Regiments on that occasion, and it is asserted that all who were conspicuous in setting an example of cowardice to their comrades will be brought to condign punish ment. Annexed will be found the copy of a " Ge neral Order" for the consolidation-of the British Auxi liary Legion into two brigades to be commanded by Generals CIIICHESTER and FITZGERALD. By this change a considerable saving will be effected, as it en ables the General-in-Chief to dispense with the ser vices of several officers attached to that force, but with out a sufficiently extensive field for the developement of their abilities. A few of these will take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded them to retire altoge ther from the Spanish service. While we are in the act of writing, the arrival of the Salamander, from San Sebastian, whence she sailed on the 22d instant, puts us in possession of two other " General Orders" for regulating the promo tions and appointments in the British Legion conse quent upon its consolidation. A copy of it will be found following the " General Order" already re ferred to : " GENERAL ORDER. " San Sebastian, 19th Istarch, 1837. " In conformity with the peremptory order of Govern ment for the reduction and consolidation of this force, with a view to economy, and it having been decided some time since to defer this measure until after the first commence mans of operations, it will now be gradually carried into effect. It being, bowevii, understood that all officers brought under the operation of this arrangement will con tinue to estimate for their pay for the rnmainder of the pe riod of service, should their claims against the Government not be previously settled ; and such officers as may feel in clined to leave the country will receive for that purpose the sum granted by the General Orders of the 15th January. " In carrying this arrangement into effect, the adjutant general (a staff officer of such high rank not being necessary for two brigades) and the junior brigadier commanding a brigade, with the brigade staff, will therefore necessarily be reduced, viz., the adjutant-general, Brigadier-General Le Marchant, Brigadier-General Godfrey, commanding the light brigade. " The three brigades of the Legion will be consolidated into two. " The 7th regiment will be incorporated with the Rifles, and will, with the Ist, 4th, and Bth regiments, form a brigade under the command of Brigadier-General Chi chester. " The 9th and 10th regiments will be consolidated into one corps, and will, with the 6th regiment, form a brigade under the command of Brigadier-General Fitzgerald. " Officers commanding companies are directed to im mediately close the men's accounts to the 31st of March, it being understood that all future issues of pay and ne cessaries during this month shall be debited against the next month's account in the consolidated corps.

(Signed) C. WET HERA LL, Col. Commanding. Madrid Papers to the 19th inst. inclsuive have been received, up to the date of which no official intel ligence of the defeat of General EVANS had reached the Spanish Government. A rumour of the disastrous retreat from Hernani prevailed in the capital on the 17th, but as Ministers. were in possession of neither dispatch nor letter in confirmation thereof, it was not credited, save by the partisans of Don CaaLos. As for the inhabitants, they, generally speaking, treated the whole affair very lightly. On the 12th, they amused themselves with bull-fights, and for several days after the feats of the Matadores were more talked of than the movements of the Generals. The Members of the Cabinet were all seriously indisposed, with the excep tion of M. MENDIZABAL and M. LOPEZ, who were unremitting in their attention to the public business. The former of these Ministers is grown unpopular out of doors, and the latter is anything but a favourite with her Majesty the REGENT. CALATRAVA waS so ill from fever, that fears were entertained for his life ; ALMODOVAR, the new War Minister, was suf fering from an attack of the gout ; GIL DE LA CUADRA was confined to his bed by pleurisy ; and LANDERO was labouring under an attack of in fluenza: The QUEEN was in good health, but her Majesty very wisely continues to keep studiously aloof from public affaits, leaving the choice of measures, a s ' well as the responsibility attached to them, to her Ministers. In the Sitting of the Cortes of the 15th instant, MENDIZABAL announced that General EVANS had commenced operations in the north. The Minister then read a report of the success of the Anglo-Chris tinos on the 10th, when they drove the Carlists from the Ametzagaua heights at the point of the bayonet. The reading of this report was followed by loud cheers, after which the Cortes resumed the discussion on the Constitution. Several members warmly op posed the appointment of an Upper Chamber ; others spoke against the election of Sena• tors for life, contending that they ought only to be chosen for a limited number of years, and to be liable to removal for certain stated violations of the Constitution ; while a few confined their objections to the name, rather than the thing implied by it. Senors LOPEZ and GONZALEZ argued in favour of a second Chamber, and insisted that a Senate was the most proper name by which it could be called. The sitting closed with the adjournment of the debate. We direct the attention of our readers to extracts from the Spanish Papers of the 16th and 17th instant, which will be found in another part of The Sun. They are not in themselves of much importance, but it is easy to infer from them that Spain is in a most wretched plight, and that nothing short of a miracle can deliver it from the many evils by which it is menaced. Could the people be roused to a sense of their danger, and brought to shake off the lethargy that absorbs all their fa culties, a few months would put all right ; but unfor tunately they are dead to all the sentiments which render unnecessary a second appeal to the patriotism of the people of England and France. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received, but their contents are politically unimportant. The leading Membets of the Cabinet--- MOLE and GUIZOT-are at loggerheads. The breach between them has been patched up a dozen of times, but as ever happens when public men personally detest each other, these patchings have only made the rent worse. GUIZOT snd MOLE can no more amal gamate than can oil and water. They are, there fore, hard at work, each endeavouring to oust the other. It is supposed that GUIZOT will have the worst of it, as the Doctrinaires arc in bad odour with the people, and their leader by no means a favourite with the KING. As for CLAusEL's quarrel with the Ministry, there is no calculating to what it may lead. We this day quote from the Gazette de France, an extract from the Marshal's memoirs of himself, which astonishes us quite as much as it has done our Gallic Contemporary : (Private Correspondence of the Constitationnel.) PAMPELUNA, MARCH 17.—The head-quarters of the army of Navarre are still at Las Berros. The army is sta tioned on the road of Tolosa, by Echevarrie Larasa, and the advanced posts are near to the defiles of Lecumberri. Brigadier-General Conrad commands the army ad interim. General Saarsfield will pass some days at Pampeluna. He is indisposed, but not seriously. In the retrograde movement from Irurzun our troops had 28 men killed and wounded ; the Carlists at least 100. We have taken a great number of prisoners. Our cavalry is in advance. Although it has pushed forward to the de files of Lecumberri, it has not been able to perceive indi cations among the Carlists of an intention to attack ; on the contrary, they are constantly falling back. Positive infor ' mation has been received at head-quarters of the affair of General Evans. His losses have been very great, bot those of the Carlists exceed his by a third. As soon as the roads are passable we shall resume our movements. The soldiers are full of ardour. All may yet be repaired for the c a use of Isabella.—Constitutionnel, March 25. find the following passage in Mar s h a l Cl auscl ' s p " I have commanded Illyria—l have governed Ragusa— ! have been General-in-Chief in Spain and Portugal —those countries which conceal the source of so many fortunes. In 1831 I had at my disposal secret funds to the amount of a million, and I paid back 900,000 francs to the Treasury. In this very expedition to Constantine, respecting which you know so many things, I had a secret fund of 50,000 francs. I have returned nearly the half to the Treasury. I have already, and now completely explain, that an offer was made me to negotiate the abandonment of Algiers for the sum of 100 millions of francs, and five millions for myself." This last circumstance will certainly astonish the publi c , and it is to be regretted that Marshal Clausel his. not • thought fit to speak more, W)pit is the power that tlif-%•"lif , of o'iterio 00 iueb a nef,' , ;eiritionwitivrthe - Go vernor of Algiers?

The country has certainly a right to require of Marshal l i Clansel the whole truth, and to know in what part of the world, and in what nation these ardent desires arc formed to obtain a conquest which we keep as it were against our will ?-6-citette de Piance, March 23.

In the past week the arrivals of all kinds of grain were short, but of flour there was a good quantity. The trade throughout the week was dull for every article. This morning there has been a fair fresh supply of most descriptions of corn. The finest parcels of Wheat sold slowly, but obtained last week's terms ; other qualities were heavy, and are Is. per quarter cheaper. Barley of the best description supports its value, and other sorts are not lower, but meet a slack demand. Beans, if dry, arc firm ; and other kinds, though slow in sale, is unaltered in price. In Peas these is little doing, at the terms of last Monday. The late indication of more briskness in the Oat trade has subsided, and there was a limited demand to-day, at the same rates as on this day se'n night. The quantity of Flour for sale is tolerably good, and the trade among the bakers is at present slack, at no variation in prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) .545. 625.

Extract of a letter from Jamaica, dated 14th February : " The blockade of the Columbirn ports has been raised, and the affair with the Granadian Government amicably arranged." THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOGIC. Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and the Dutch mails ; also a mail from Lisbon, by the Espoir—sailed on the 27th February. We have received ship letters from Lima, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Oporto ; Ceylon 19th October ; Mauritius 21st November; Calcutta 21st November. From Jamaica we learn that an insurrection had broken out on the north side of the Island of St. Domingo, and that Aux Cayes had been taken possession of by the rebels. This fine island remained subject to the horrors of civil war at the date of the latest advices. Late accounts from New Granada bring the gratifying intelligence that the demands of the British Government had been fully complied with. Mr. Russell was released, the remuneration of 1,0001. paid to him, and the Judges and Magistrates who had been concerned in his imprison ment are dismissed. An apology had also been offered by the Government for the insult to the British flag. The settlement of this dispute had given great satisfaction at Carthagena, as well as at Jamaica, at which latter colony his Majesty's brig Wasp had arrived with the intelligence. The Judge who had sentenced Mr. Russell was fined 6,000 dollars, and the Alcalde who struck Mr. Russell had been fined 5,000 dollars. Mr. Russell had left Carthagena in the Madagascar. Mr. Turner, the Consul-General at Carthagena, was dead. A French merchant vessel has been detained by the British sloop of war—having at tempted to break the blockade. From St. Jago de Cuba, we learn that tranquillity had been re-established, through the exertions of Captain Jones, the commander of the British brig of war the Vestal. The Pluto steamer has been armed, by orders of the Lords of the Admiralty, and will sail, with Marines on board, for the north coast of Spain, to-morrow or Wednesday. The Stakesby transport, at Plymouth, has been also put in commission, to take out stores and artillery to the same destination. ' ,Extract of a letter from St. Sebastian, March 21.—We have just heard, from an undoubted source, that, on the 16th alone, the enemy left 600 dead on the field, and that Hernani, Tolosa, and the neighbouring pueblos, are filled with wounded ; in some places, even the churches are ap propriated to that purpose. We are authorised to contradict the report which was noticed in our City article of Friday, respecting assistance to be granted to certain American houses, as far as that report relates to a great Liverpool house. We are assured that the house alluded to, so far from requiring any assis tance for itself, has very handsomely come forward to assist others.

It is said to be the production of a gentleman connected with our foreign diplomacy. Among the leading subjects, we are told, are :—The Court and Capital of Austria—The Castes and Manners of Society—Prince Metternich—Foreign Ambassa dors—The Aristocracy—The People—Public Amusements and Domestic Life--The Drama—The lOpera—Literature— Religion—Government—The Country—The Danube—The Hungarians and Bohemians—and many o th er i nterest i ng fea tures that characterise this extraordinary-, but scarcely known empire. Sir Anthony Carlisle stated at an operation the other day that the Duke of Wellington evinced much shrewd ness on medical matters. His Grace said that he much pre ferred English practice before French in medicine as well as surgery. but more especially in surgery. In France he had had sufficient opportunities of witnessing the unenergetic cha racter of continental medical practice, and the meddlesomeness of the surgery. He had observed that where one amputation of the French surgeon was successful, ten of the English were attended with fortunate results. This he supposed to be due, among other causes, to the use of their abominable charpie.— The Doctor. JAMES H. CALDWELL.—The editor of the Bos ton Gazette says that the history of this gentleman is some what singular and eventful. He was first introduced to this country in 1817 by the late Joseph George Holman, then ma nager of the Charleston, South Carolina, theatre. Prior to his appearance at Charleston, he was a leading light come dian at Bath, Bristol, and Manchester, but had not reached London. Mr. Holman made him a conspicuous man at his theatre in Charleston—he became popular with the people, quarrelled with the manager, got up a riot, which resulted in the destruction of the theatre, subsequently wounded Holman in a duel at Sullivan Island, then appealed to the public, and took a triumphant benefit. Immediately after this affair, he married a lady of fortune in Fredericksburg, Virginia—be came manager of the Virginia theatre—failed—migrated to New Orleans, and took possession of the American theatre in that city—shortly afterwards took a contract to light the city with gas—realized a princely fortune—became a banker, and is now one of the principal lions of the day. He still plays the manager, and occasionally appears on his own stage. His rise and fortune are singularities in the history of the drama. TIIE FUNDS.

On Wednesday, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the laundry of Rollesby Workhouse, which burned vi ith such fury as to threaten the destruction of the whole building. The master was absent at Yarmouth, to which place he had taken the porter of the house by order of the magistrates, for the purpose of escorting two paupers who had assaulted one of the guardians. The farmers in the neighbourhood and their men immediately rendered all the assistance in their power, but the fire, which raged fur many hours, could not be got under until the greater portion of the building was consumed. The books and papers of the Union were saved, but a large quantity of bed and other linen was con sumed. On the day of the fire five families, who had been for years inmates of the house, the men and their wives being of middle age, were to have been separated according to the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners : the husbands were also idle characters. Considerable dissatisfaction has been shown by these parties at the above arrangement, some of whom have taken this means of revenging themselves. A clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of this crime through the means of one of the paupers whom the master was taking to Yarmouth, and two women, one of whom was the pauper's own wife, have been apprehended. On first seeing the fire, the pander said, " Oh, I know all about that," and insinuated that it was the work of the women. Before the Magistrates, who sat on Thursday to examine into the facts, it was proved that many persons present refused all assistance to extinguish the conflagration, but did not interrupt the efforts of those who were using their endeavours to put it out. Many charges of thieving articles from the burning workhouse were gone into, and the parties committed for various terms of imprisonment. Mr. H. Marsh, of Martham, galloped his horse to the fire for the purpose of rendering assistance; on reaching the spot, the poor animal fell dead under him. The w or kh ouse i s largely insured. —Norwich Mercury. This evening as a respectable farmer and a man named Holme, from the parish of Resolis, were at dinner in a public-house here, the latter suddenly struggled and fell on the floor. Medical aid was promptly procured, but was of no avail. The cause of death was ascertained to be suffocation, produced by a piece of meat. --Inverness Courier. No public manifestation has taken place since our last, in reference to the election for this division of the county; but there is still every reason to believe that a " Liberal" can didate will take the field in opposition to J. Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., one of the present Members. —Preston Chronicle. Trade in every department in Bolton continues very dull, and many manufacturers are stopping the weavers, as their warps are finished.

He was immediately conveyed to Northtoft Lodge, where he received medical attendance, but died early on Thursday morning. The unfortunate gentleman kad his collar-bone and spine fractured, and was otherwise much hurt. He was a person of large fortune, and nearly connected with Mr. Sawbridg,e, of Haddon Hall, with whom be was on a visit.—Northampton Chronicle. THE LATE MYST.ERIOUS MUI7tREI IN TIIE EDGEWAIZE-ROAD. APPREHENMCII4 AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF V'. MURDEREIL—We rAfa at length enabled to .announce th the mys!'ery connected with the horrible discovery of tl mutilated tf tt:`lt 9f a female in the Edgeware-road, on t 28th of December iat4, the finding of the head in tl ltiegent's-canal, at Mile-end, a few days afterwards, jai su6equently of the limbs in an osier bed in Cold lio hour-lane, Brixton, is unravelled. On Monday last Mr. Thornton, the Churchwarden Paddington received information, which led him to belie' that the unfortunate woman who had been so barbarous murdered, and whose body was afterwards so horribly ta tilated, was a female named Hannah Brown, who, f two years previous to Christmas last, had r esidt in Union , street, Middlesex-hospital. He immediate informed Inspector Felt6m, of the S division, of the inf . ( mation he had received. 'That officer accompanied N Thornton to the residences of the brother and sister Mrs. Brown, when they ascertained that the ill-fated wool had for some time been acquainted with a man nam James Grecnacre, who formerly kept a grocer's shop opP OS the Asylum for the Indigent Blind, in the Kent -rot who had made her an offer of marriage, a nd 1 . matter had been so far arranged between the Par ti ' the banns having been thrice publ s'red in the Chu rl of St. Giles-in-the-Fields,. that they were to ha been married at that church on Christmas-day. On t' Saturday previous (Christmas-eve), Mrs. Brown left II residence in Union-street (where she had carried on mangling business) in a hackney coach, with a number boxe3, cc n ahting a quantity of pro l ;erty, amountiog, it alleged, to between 400/. and 5001. in money, and ab° 100/. worth of jewellery, and accompanied by Greenat since which time her relatives have heard no tidings of On Friday last her brother, the landlady of the house Union-street, in which Mrs. Brown had lived, and i ll other persons who were acquainted with her person , companied Mr. Thornton and Inspector Feltham to PI dington poor-house, where they were afforded a view of t head, which had been preserved in spirits, when, 111 withstanding the horrible appearance it presents they immediately recognised it as that of th , relative and acquaintance. Every exertion, was th used to discover the retreat of Greenacre, and althoul no clue to his residence could at that time obtained, yet it was ascertained that on Mond last a female, with whom it was known he had for so time cohabited, had called at some cottages belonging him in Carpenter's-buildings, Camberwell, and demand the rent. On Saturday morning Mr. Thornton had an intervi( with Colonel Rowan, the Commissioner of Police, Whitehall, who instantly gave orders to the different di sions of Police to use their utmost endeavours t o ascer" if the villain was in their neighbourhood. At a late hour the day that gentleman and Inspector Feltham, had a 1 7 vate interview with M e ssrs. Rawli nson an d Sh u tt, the bs gistratcs at Marylebone Police-office, who immediate signed a warrant for his apprehension. On Sunday, Feltham, ascertainin g , a t a l a t e h o ur, that man answering the description of Greenacre had for se'' time been residing at No. 1, St. Alban's-street, Kenning ° , road, Lambeth, he, accompanied by a police•constable oft' L division, who was on duty near the spot, proceed' thither about ten o'clock, and in a back room discove r, the object of their search in bed with the female ab e mentioned. In the room were a number of boxes s trong corded, and everything exhibited the appearance of ev e , preparation having been m a d o f or a spee dy nig': On Inspector Feltham stating his business, Greenacre sa l " You are but just in time—to-morrow I should hare s tart' to America ;" and on searching his clothes a receipt for t' passage money was found. An officer having been Pla e ,' in care of the property, Gr eenacre an d th e f ema le, refused to give her name, were then conveyed in a hae ney-coach to the station-house on Paddington-green, vib e they arrived about half past eleven o'clock. On the tbi visit of police-constable T 132, about twenty minutes P. 12 o'clock, to the cell of Greenacre, he discovered him lyi on his back in a state of insensibility, having made a In ° desperate attempt at st rangu l a ti on , by t y i ng his poek handkerchief round his neck, and fixing a noose round right foot. Mr. Girdwood, of the Edgeware-road, the P rochial surgeon, was instantly fetched, who on his array made an incision in the jugular vein, but no blood OW' for full two minutes, after which about fourteen mine having been taken, he gradually revived. On recoveril his speech, he said to Mr. Girdwood, " I don't thank Y' for what you have done, I would sooner have gone or About ten o'clock this morning they were both re rnov in a hackney-coach to Marylebone Police-office, where till will in the course of the day undergo an examination. Mrs. Brown, who was about 47 years of age, former, lived as cook in the service of M r .
