Commission by the Lori. Lieutenant of the North Riding of TRIAL of the FRENCH REGICIDE. COURT OF PEERS, PARIS, TUESDAY. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Francois Fontein, aged 43, manufacturer of articles of polished steel, deposed that he had known the prisoner for teeny years ; he always was speaking of his misfor tunes. Witness lent him 1,100 f., which were to be re turned on August 15. Jacques Cercleron, aged 46, schoolmaster, residing at Paris in the same house as the prisoner, deposed that he for some time was upon good terms with Heiiri, but afterwards quarrelled with him because he behaved ill. Henri had an incredible degree of presumption, be lieved himself to be a geni us , an frequently maintained outrageous theories about religion and universal peace. J. Guisrin, aged 56, a man of property, knew Henri for 25 or 26 years, but was often a long time without ,ceine• ' him. During the last t we l ve mon th s h e h a d seen him frequently, and particularly since January 1 ; he was incessantly talking of his misfortunes and the embarrassment of his affairs, asking witness to accommodate him with his signature to bills, which witness declined. He frequently declared that he should be driven to blow out his brains. Wit ness deposed to Henri's seeking a wife, whether de formed or otherwise, who could bring him a fortune of 25,000 f., and retuested to refer to him (the witness) for his character, in order to conceal his design from his family. Henri never mentioned any other conception than that of suicide, and never talked upon politics, but appeared to entertain the best feeling towards the person of the King. Caroline Bacquet, aged 33, a woman of some means, deposed to living in the same house with Henri, and had known him six or seven years. She said that he was a weak and gloomy man, frequently subject to headaches, which prevented him for the time from foll Owing his business. She never heard him talk of suicide or politics. Widow Lefranc, aged 28, who had been Henri's house keeper for eight years, deposed that he had great confi dence in her, but he did not talk to her about his busi ness He latterly appeared to be greatly depressed, and expressed a wish to die, but never mentioned suicide or any other means of getting rid of lite. Aime Forward, aged 58, a journeyman employed by fi-enri for the last three years, stated that his master always behaved kindly to him, and conversed freely with him about his domestic misfortunes and the embarrass ment of his affairs. Since the beginning of the present year witness perceived that Henri was losing his mind, and it pained witness to see him. For several months he repeatedly said that he could not bear his miseries any longer, so that witness imagined that he contem plated- suicide, but at the same time believed that Henri had not resolution to carry the idea into execution ; the prisoner never read the journals. On the 16th ofApiil last Henri, in conversation, said that he could oat con ceive how any man could fire at the King. He was full of self-conceit, and at times, striking his forehead, would exclaim," Ah ! there are three tortunes in this head !" He was gloomy and reserved towards his family ; but, so far as witness knew, without cause. Louis Mercier, aged 32, another man in the employ of Henri, gave evidence to the same effect as the above. the decision of th e C our t, w hi c h h e (t h e P rocureur d u Roi) was sure would be in unison with all the acts of a Chamber that had ever shown so great a devotion to the great interests of the country. M. Baroch, c h arge d w i t h H enr i' s defence, afterwards replied to the Procureur du Roi, and contended that the attempt of Henri could not be considered as a serious" one. The whole life of the prisoner was against the supposition of his being actuated with a desire to attempt the King's life. It wis an act of folly, which he had committed wider the influence of despair at the wretched state of his affairs, the desire of being talked of in the world, and of getting rid of an existence which was a burden to him. The Court of Peers would not, he was assured, sanction such a suicide. M. Baroch afterwards related at length the attempt in the Tuileries, and endea voured to prove that the life of the King could not have been endangered by Henri's attempt. He insisted that the pistols were not even loaded, notwithstanding Henri might have asserted the contrary. He maintained that the bullets must have been found if such had been the case. M. Baroch then replied to the charges of immorality which had been reproached to the pri soner, and insisted that they had been exaggerated, or caused by the bad conduct of his former wife. A great number of letters were then read by M. Baroch, written by persons who had known Henri. They all spoke of his morose disposition and the extravagant nature of his opinions, which were treated by his friends as absur d, . and betraying a very wea k i n t e ll ec t. Some of Henr i's extravagant lucubrations were also read by his counsel, as confirming the fact that a man with such an intellect, and who had evinced such imbecility of conduct, could not be considered as a very dangerous person. He im plored the Court, in conclusion, not to condemn the wretched man before them. The crime of regicide had of late descended very low, and would deicend still lower after the senseless attempt of the miserable man they were called upon to judge. No, Gentlemen, said M. Baroch, the attempt of such a man cannot be considered as serious.

Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Whicn young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained .the feeble, the ner vously delicate, 'even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments' and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof iu their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the avaihnent hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's Justification fbr this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

On Gonorrhfea and Gleet, exemplifying the influence of a Scrofulous or Scorbutic state of system In producing those Morbid Secretions, and showing that the true nature of their diseased action is irritative, not inflammatory.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and`inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are'frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence , that it ought to be read by every man, Inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of syinptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-buruings and jea lousies which sever'the peace of familien."

J I—THE RAJAH OF TRAVANCORE AND HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. — On the llth of July, 1846, Professor Holloway was honoured with an order for six of the largest pots 01 Holloway's Ointment, from no less a person than his Royal Higinie - _s the Rajah, or reigning sovereign of T ravancore, through the eminent firm of Mestrs. J. Cockburn and Co., East India merchants, No.ll. New Broad-street, London. The ointment, it appears, is for the personal use of the Rajah, and will be employed under the super intendence of his private physician. Holloway's ointment is sold all over India, being a certai u cure or ulcers, wounds, st res, and abscesses. even if of twenty years' standing, and nifty be obtained of the Pro prietor, 244, Strand, London, and of every medicine Tendon The case for the prosecution here closed, and the ex amination of witnesses for the defence began. J. Chartron, aged 45, an ironmonger, had been on terms of intimacy with the prisoner; considered him as a person of a most mild and inoffensive character. L. Sanguinade, aged 52, a merchant, had become ac quainted with Henri from his being in the National Guard. Considered him a man of probity, but with rather a weak head. F. Destibaux. aged 47, a banker, had seen the pri soner several times. Two months since he had come to him to ask for money, and as witness could not acqui esce in his demand, the prisoner complained bitterly. His words and ideas appeared to be somewhat incohe rent, and had given witness reason to suppose that his reason was a little distm bed. S. Fontaine, aged 62, formerly engaged in the steel trade, said that the prisoner had once worked with him in his business. He was then a very industrious man, attended to nothing but his work, and conducted him self well. F. I.e. , grand, aged 38, a vinegar merchant, also deposed to the morality of the prisoner, but knew nothing of his private habits. L. Dediot, aged 37, had been on terms of intimacy with Henri ; considered him a man of great suscepti bility of feelings, and having a great deal of originality in his character. He thought or said nothing from the influence of any other person. His theories were perfectly his own. Setting aside this peculiarity he' thoneht he possessed every quality in which honour and confidence might support themselves. He thought that all his mis fortunes had been caused by dreadful machinations against him. lie considered the prisoner would rather commit suicide than become a bankrupt, but he at the same time knew that he never would have the courage to do so, for he was in fact a pusillanimous being. Witness thought that he never had any serious idea of killing the King, and if be might be permitted to express his opini3n, he would add that he did not believe that the pistols were loaded. Ace.' ding to the prisoner's known character, and to use an expression which he was fond of, he would have said to himself, " Lyingalone triumphs on the earth, let us then lie in order to die." His act could not be understood in any other light by any one who knew the prisoner as well as he (witness) did. The prisoner—l summoned witnesses in order that they might point out the person who has caused all my misfortunes, but those witnesses have said nothing. I must therefore do it myself. The person I allude to is Caroline Bacquet. She promised to lend me 25,000 k, hut she did not give them to me. I signed a bill for a smaller sum, and payment of it was demanded at a time when I could not .pay it without compromising my credit. When I wanted 6,000 f. only 3,0001. were given me; and the calculation of that woman was, " When he can no longer hold out, his house will be sold, and nis protector, who gave him funds, will pass it to me." You ask me if I had any accomplices? I had no other be sides that woman. It was she who drove me to despair, and despair has led to what you are aware of. S. James, aged 28, hairdresser, knew the prisoner. Had never remarked anything extraordinary in him. Was not aware that he ever meddled with politics. E. Perigaux, aged 28, steelworker, had worked for four years for the prisoner. He was constantly employed in devising means tier improving the condition of work men. Had heard him sometimes complain of the conduct of Caroline Bacquet. A. Chatemond, aged 33, clerk, had know the prisoner; he was a weak man, and incapable of managing his house. Witness expressed his conviction that the pistols were not loaded. The prisoner here observed that some of the witnesses had said that both pistols went off at the same time, and others that there were successive reports. His own con viction was that there was but one report. The examination of witnesses being concluded, the Procureur-General was called on for his requisitory, but, as it was then six o'clock, the Learned Gentleman proposed to defer it till the next day, and the Court broke Lp. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 26.—The President opened the Court at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. The prisoner, brought in between two gendarmes, looked much paler than during the preceding day. Be fore taking his seat he bowed respectfully to the Court, and was observed to take several pinches of snuff before the Procurer du Iloi began his speech. In comparison with the former trials the case of Joseph llenri seemed to excite but little interest among the public, and the Chamber of Peers was by no means crowded. The Pro cureur du Roi, upon the invitation of the President, then opened his requisitory, and said— lie did not think it now necessary for the Court to seek the causes of the crime in cynicism and perversion of political passions, nor did it appear either that the crime ensued from any personal revenge. The prisoner had declared that he respected the person of the King, and this certainly seemed true as regarded the previous life and opinions of the accused. He had been then in spired by other motives. What had induced him, he said, to commit the crime was the despair be felt at the bad state of his affairs and his domestic unhappiness. If that was true, another source of crimes must be found out, and it would be necessary, for the sake of society, at once to discover it. But, admitting this to be true, it was also necessary to lay before the Court the irregular conduct and the unbounded pride which characterised the prisoner before them. No, the ac cused had adopted a line of defence, which was not an unskilful one—viz., wishing to represent his crime as a simple and harmless demonstration to attract attention. The Procureur du Roi afterwards dwelt on the fact that had been urged in favour of the prisoner, w hich was, that the balls had not been found, and there existed no proofs that even the pistols were loaded. He contested the value of this argument, and cited several cases, and in particular the attempt of Quenisset, where the balls had never been dis covered, and yet no one ever doubted the guilt of that wretched man. What had been the private life of the accused? He had exhibited the most un governable passions. His affairs, in consequence of his extravagance, became disordered. His great horror was to become again a workman, although by his skill the accused was capable of earning 10f. a day. No, his pride was in question, and Joseph lienri endeavoured by a second marriage to retrieve his affairs; and not being able to succeed, the wretched man slandered the woman who fortunately refused to marry him. He ropeated there was nothing in the private life of the prisoner that could excuse him. Had not the accused even threatened to kill a person who had refused to lend him a sum of money he was in want of, to restore his affairs to their former prosperity? The Procureur du Rid afterwards examined the plea of insanity, by which the prisoner's crime was endeavoured to be accounted for, and spoke of the danger which would result to society if such a pre text was put forward whenever a murder, or attempt at assassination, was perpetrated. No, it was impossible to excuse crime in this manner. M. Hebert then cited the English jurisprudence incases of high treason. He denied that the same decisions could be taken in France, where the laws on this crime entirely disagreed. He denied also that every attempt on the Queen's life had been treated as an act of insanity. Oxford, indeed, had been declared a lunatic, but Francis had not. The English laws, therefore, could not c,ruide nor determine the de cision of the Court. .The Procureur du Roi then con cluded by repeating his former arguments that the Court should declare the prisoner guilty of the crime of high troson; and said that the country awaited with anxiety " That various Bills have from time to time been in troduced into Parliament for the above purpose previ ously to the present session of Parliament, and that in such Bills it was proposed and intended that the judges to be appointed should either be barristers-at-law or at tornie s-at -law. " That, by the Bill now pending in your Right Hon. House, the Lord Chancellor is so restricted in the ap pointment of judges as to be prevented in future from the appointment of any attorney-at-law, however well qualified to be a judge of any court, to be created under such Bill in case the same should . pass into a law. " That new clauses have been introduced in such Bill in the other House of Parliament, and various restric tions in the jurisdiction and powers of such intended courts, and of the judges to be appointed under such Bill. "That your petitioners humbly represent to your Right Hon. House that many attornies-at-law are qualified to be appointed judges under such Bill. " Your petitioners humbly pray that in such Bill the Lord Chancellor may be empowered to appoint any at tornies-at-law to be judges in the court to be created thereunder whom his Lordship may consider duly qua lified to be such judg►es." THE LATE COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON AND HASTINGS RAILWAY. INQUIRY BY THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL. HASTINGS, WEDITESDAY AFTEIINOON.—This forenoon Major General Pasley arrived at Pevensey station, ac companied by Mr. Clarke, the managing director from Bri;hton, to inquire into the circumstances of the recent collision on the Hastings or South-coast line, on Monday last, for the information of the Board of Trade. The gallant General's first proceeding was to inspect the spot where the collision happened. The railway in this part seems far from being complete, only one line is laid down for the transit of trains, and hundreds of excava tors are working day and night constructing the ballast ing for the second line of rails. From the evidence collected it appeared the ocArtspnny'y onntr.prnrs had several locomotives employed on the line to assist in carrying ballast trains to various parts of the works, and to prevent delay occurring to the passenger trains, sidings had been made by the contractors at various parts in order that the ballast trains might, as it is termed, " shunt" off, to allow the ordinary trains to pass, and it was in one of these sidings at Pevensey where the col lision took place. A few minutes before the Brighton train, which leaves Pevensey station at two o'clock, was due, one of these ballast engines, which was coming up in the opposite direction, stopped at the siding in question, and backed into it for the purpose explained. Shortly afterwards the train came up at a speed of about twenty-eight miles an hour, when on its arrival within six or seven yards of the points of the siding, the engine -driver, Stephen Clarke, discovered that the " switches" were not properly adjusted, and a violent collision with the ballast trains was inevitable. He instantly shut off his steam and reversed the engine, and jumped off, leaving his stoker at the tender break. Scarcely a moment elapsed before the engines met. As regards the switches, which are on the self-acting principle, it is difficult to say whether any party is to blame. A youth, it seems, had been appointed by the contractors to attend to them, and he has since ab sconded ; but, according to the statements of the differ ent parties examined to-day, there does not appear to be any fault attributable to him. The switches are worked by leverage, and the duty of the party under whose charge they were placed was, when a ballast train requir. d to pass out of the sliding, to connect the points with the rails of the permanent line. This is effected by pulling forward an iron handle, to which the leverage is attached, and the moment it is let off the points fly back to their original position, and disunite themselves from the permanent rails. They were found in good working order after the accident, in consequence of which it is presumed that some shingle, of which the line of Pevensey is made, or some other hard substance, must have got between the points and prevented them acting, unknown to the party employed. Considering the serious character of the colision, it was astounding how all parties, particularly the stoker and guard of the pas senger train, escaped with their lives. Both engines were much damaged. The tender of the ballast engine was thrown on the top of the earth waggons, and pre sented a dilapidated appearance. The engine-driver and stoker of this train were, a moment before the collision, standing on the tender ; both escaped by throwing them selves off. At the conclusion of the inquiry at Pevensey, General Pasley, with Mr. Clarke, left for Brighton, to examine the carriages that composed the train, which had been taken to the Company's depot adjacent to the terminus in that town. The following are the name., as far as Mr. Clarke, the manager, has been able to learn, of the sufferers, with their injuries and actual state up to eight o'clock this morning:— The Ite.v. Mr. Brown, of Tonbridge, Kent, severe frac ture of the leg below the knee, face cut, and other external injuries ; progressing favourably at Hastings. Captain Nightingale, his lady, and his two daughters, much cut about the face and head, besides bruises about the body. No serious injury. Mr. Dyke, of Brighton, injury to the head. He was a passenger in a first-class car r i age , an d was l oo ki ng out of the window at the moment of the collision, and was thrown completely out by the concussion. Three ladies (names unknown) belonging to Hastings, much cut about the face; also a gentleman (name un known), one of the fore-fingers taken off. George Ragg, the stoker of the passenger engine, lying at the sluice-house, Pevensey, scalded and burnt. When discovered he was found insensible alongside of the furnace of the engine, with the boiling water pour ing on him from the broken guage-pipe, and his clothes on fire in various parts; recovering. Stephen Clarice, the engine-driver—internal injury, but expected to resume his work in a few days. Several others are reported to be hurt , but their names cannot be ascertained; the injuries, however, are be lieved to be confined to bruises. It is stated there were about forty passengers in the train. It will be observed that most of the persons injured were first-class passengers. This arose by the first class carriage being placed next to the tender, and no luggage van interveaing. 'The medical gentlemen who were in the train, and relieved the suffering of many of the sufferers, were Dr. Hamilton and Mr. R. H. Walton, of Fitzroy-square. They were, we understand, sitting in the same carriage with the Rev. Mr. Brown, but fortunately escaped injury. MONSTER TRAINS.—On Thursday morning one of the longest and most heavily loaded trains, propelled by a single engine, left the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway, for Bristol. The train consisted of forty-nine trucks loaded with bricks, timber, and merchandise, and ex tended above a quarter of a mile. The engine " Tytios" (a small luggage engine, having six wheels connected) drew this enormous load at an average speed of twenty-eight miles an hour. On the same morning the " Premier" engine brought up a train of forty trucks loaded with timber, coals, coke, and merchandise. On Wednesday evening the mixed train from Exeter arrived at Paddington at the usual t:me, eight o'clock, having three third-class carriages, four second class, three first class, and fourteen horse boxes, with four horses in each. The carriages were likewise full of pas,en gers. This train was propelled by two engines, the Sunbeam and Star. PLY:4 . OI3TH, Arc. 27.—As usual, our regatta cora• menced yesterday (Wednesday), being Prince Albert's birthday, under the immediate patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty and her Royal Consort, the Commo. dare being the Right Hon. the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, and Captain Charles Bulkely Vice-Commodore.

The course for the yachts was starting from buoys moored off the committee's marquee, the vessels pro ceeding through the western channel of the Breakwater round to a mark vessel, moored off Penlee Point, thence to another mark vessel off the Mew Stone, leav ing both on the port hand, returning through the eastern channel of the Breakwater, rounding the buoy of the Cobbler, then round a boat (having a pilot jack flying) moored opposite the Hoe, about 15 miles, the vessels going twice or thrice round, according to regu lations. At a quarter-past eleven the preparatory gun was fired, and the vessels took their stations for the follow ing prizes :—The Fancy Ball Plate, 50/. p.p. Time race.

The Victoria was first off, followed by the Frisk, the Gondola last, the vessels running for the western end of the Breakwater. The Victoria set her square sail, and tried by pressing canvass, to keep the lead, but she was soon passed by the Gondola, the Victoria and Frisk being abreast of each other opposite:the Lighthouse, at the Breakwater, and the vessels rounded the first flag-boat at Penlee Point ; the Gondola at eleven minutes past twelve ; Vice toria, thirteen minutes past twelve. The vessels then commenced beating to windward for the cast of the Breakwater, the Frisk passing the Victoria, and the three vessels sailing well to the Cobbler, and then round ing the mark boat under the Hoe as follows : Yacht. - H.

The three commenced running for Penlee Point, and the Gondola increased her lead, but in beating to wind ward outside the Breakwater, the Frisk gained on her, and the Victoria lost considerably by steering to the east. The yachts rounded the Cobbler buoy, and pro ceeded the second time to the winning boat, not being able to sail round the third time, in consequence of the lightness of the wind, they rounded in this order:— Yachts. is. as. s.

On Tuesday evening the Royal Yacht Club dinner took place at the Club House, Millbay, Captain Bulkeley, Vice C,,mmodore, acting as president, and J. W. Peard, Esq., vice-president. The usual loyal toasts were drank, and " Succese•to all the yacht clubs of England," with nine times nine.

It was exceedingly well attended, and dancing was kept up with much spirit until morning. THE BERWICK BANK IionnERY.L-After Mrs. Thomp son had been placed under the surveillance of the matron of the gaol, the directors of the bank determined to suspend Mr. Thompson, the bank-agent, who on Monday night de livered up the keys of the office, and has since taken no part in the bank business. The circumstances of the case, as far as he is concerned, are considered open to suspicion. He has been employed as the bank-agent at Berwick about four years, and in connexion with the bank-agency he did busi ness as a general commission-agent. He is a native of Scot land, but has lived some time in Yorkshire, where his wife belongs. His family consists of two children, his wife being at present enciente. Mr. Thompson's connexion with the bank up to the time of this transaction had been highly satis factory to his employers, _ _ POLITENESS OF A WIDOW. —Mrs, --- presents her kind compliments to Mr. —, and much regrets that she cannot show the pictures to-day, as Major died yester day evening of apoplexy; which Mrs. the more re grets, as it will prevent her having the honour of seeing sir Walter Scott and Miss Edgeworth.—Loekharee Life or Sett. IZEMOVAL OF THE COLONNADE FROM THE QUADRANT. —Twenty-eight of the shop-keepers of the Quadrant have presented a petition to Parliament praying permission to cause the colonnade in front of the shops to be pulled down, which they offer to do at their own expense, provided they be allowed to sell the old materials. They give several rea sons in support of the petition. The numerous pillars And the dark roof of the colonnade impede the light and give a gloomy appearance to their shops, besides hiding them front those who ride or drive along the carriage way. The shelter afforded by the covering has had the effect of making the Quadrant a rendezvous for idle and dissolute persons of both sexes, who cause so much annoyance that ex t ra cons t a bl es have for some years been employed to preserve order, and who have earned for that part of Regent-street, a reputation which deters many ladies from visiting the shops, and other persons from taking lodgings over them. This inability to let the upper parts of the houses has driven some of the pro prietors to admit persons who employ them as billiard and gaming -houses, and such other purposes as tend very much to depreciate the value of the prem-ses. Although the colon.. nade is considered an ornament to this splendid thorough.. fare, the reasons urged by the petitioners appear to be 81115.. ciently strong to prove the expediency of removing it. THE PAVILION AT BRIGHTON.—A deputation f rom the committee appointed by the commissioners haA an inter view last Monday with Lord Morpeth, in whose hands, as First Commissioner of the Woods and Forest h the manage ment of this question is placed. The deputation were re ceived !by his Lordship with the greatest courtesy, and every disposition was manifested to meet, as far as possible, the wishes of the inhabitants ; but the deputation left the Noble Lord with the impression that it is the full determina tion of the Government to carry out the design of selling the palace.—Brighton Paper.

FIRE oN SAFFRON-HlLL.—Thursday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a fire that caused considerable alarm broke out upon the premises in the occupation of M. Shaylor. skin-dresser and furrier, No. 21, Little Saffron-hill, Clerken well. It commenced from some cause at present unknown, in the drying-room. Before the fire was discovered it ob tained such a firm hold of the premises, that for some time fears were entertained for the safety of the entire building. Information of the outbreak was without delay sent to the engine stations, and forthwith the parish and two brigade en gines attended. The inmates, neighbours, and police having exerted themselves to the utmost, succeeded in getting the flames extinguished, but not before a considerable quantity of the stock was destroyed, and the building seve re l y inure by the fire and water. Mr. Shaylor was insured in the rhce nix Fire-office for the contents, and the building, it was un derstood, is insured in the Sun-office. SEWER ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.—Thurs day, just prior to the labourers returning from dinner, at one o'clock, a large portion of the earth of a new sewer exca vating in Whitefriars-street, at the back of the Temple, fell in.
