I )ESTREETIVE FIRE AT HOXTON.—On Saturday between t we l ve an d one o ' c l oc k , an alarming fire sudd en l y burst forth from the long range of carpenter's workshops in th'a occupation Mr. J. C. Penman, a cabinet-maker, situate trahind the ( 1 ...0i:1g-house, No. 19, Myrtle-street, Iloxton New Town. The issue of a great beds- of flame over the roof of the houses made the officer (236 N) aware of the alarming fact. For sonic time the exact locality of the fire was not known, and the flames rising to such an altitude, the inhabitants of the surrounding buildings were apprehen sive that their own tenements were on fire. The different brigade, engines, with Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, and the W est of England one, with Mr. Connorton, were re tnar.zably quick in arriving, but the whole of the workshop, toriether with the greater portion of the stock in trade, work hag tools, and other effects, were by that period completely Wrapped in fire. There being, however, a good supply of water flowing from the mains in the district, the engines were worked most vigorously till nearly two o'clock, when the firemen at length succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The damage done must be considerable, and unfortunately the occupier was only partially insured. The cause of the autbreak is unknown. We regret to state that the Gallant and Venerable !s lester-General of the Ordnance, Sir George Murray, con - Vinuee seriously indisposed. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (SATURDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GIIOLT XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND ROMSEY AND REDBRIDGE BRANCH (SOUTH-WESTERN). The Committee met this morning shortly after eleven o'clock, the Hon. E. Yorke in the chair. Mr. Gibbs, a wine-merchant and a proprietor of bonded warehouses at Manchester, was then called and examined by Mr. ALExANDER—He considered that a direct communica tion between Manchester and Southampton was very much wanted, and that nearly all the brandy and wine imported at London, and a great portion of that imported at Liverpool, would be imported at Southampton if the line were made. The charges made at London and Liverpool on the impor tationtese of wines and spirits was much greater than those at Southampton. The saving, in comparison with the dL and Lon don charges, would be 2s. per pipe, ls. 3d. per hogs o h s e . Is. per cask ; and with Liverpool, 3s. 4d. per pipe, hogshead, er kogshead, and Is. Bd. per cask. w di h s i t c r h iot a s re wo n u p or d Southamptonyogoos now 't of goods imported for the use of the manufacturing c fi ertainly a i t n h l o y i r go w t a o y Southampton. th am Manchesterpton. A b y large w ay q of utt London, but at a very large expense, and besides bein g subject to damage in t h e ir conveyance from one line to an other. The goods therefore imported at Southampton would certainly go by the proposed line. Tram-ways would be laid along the quay at Southampton to accommodate the un loading of vessels. In the event of a supply of cotton being stopped in the event of a War with America, no doubt quantities would be imported from Egypt, where it was manufactured. This cotton would be conveyed by way of Southampton to the districts of the north. He supported this line because it would be of importance to both Man chester and Southampton. Cross-examined —The length of the line was about 213 miles. By the present means of conveyance by London goods from Manchester were sent four or five days before a vessel sailed from Southampton in order to meet it in time. A saving of two or three hours between Manchester and Southampton would not be of practical importance, but a break of gauge would be a great inconvenience. By Mr. SMITH—The West India produce destined for Manchester was imported at Liverpool. If Southampton was the natural port for the Mediterranean Liverpool was now the natural port for the West Indies. Two hours longer occupied in the transit between Southampton and Manchester would not depreciate the value of goods ; but the difference of two hours would in some transactions be of great import ance to the merchant. By Mr. ALEXANDER—Three hours would be of great im portance in complying with a foreign order. An uniform gauge between Manchester and Southampton was of great import ance. Mr. Avington, a partner in the firm of Ridgway and Co. at Henley, in Staffordshire, was examined—The firm to which he belonged was one of the oldest at Henley and em ployed 480 persons. He carrried on very little trade with the counties of Hants, Wilts, and Dorset, which he attributed to the want of a dire - ct communication with the counties. In sending goods there, they were subjected to great inconve niences by the frequent change of carriage. Parties in that part of the country were consequently driven to purchase their earthenware at the wholesale houses in London at an increased cost. In exporting earthenware to foreign coun tries a communication with Southampton would be of great advantage. The principal part of the clay used at the Pot teries came from the neighbourhood of Poole in Dorset.shir9. It was shipped at Poole, and taken to Liverpool, where it was transferred into flats and conveyed by canal to the Pot teries. The expense was very large, and the clay was greatly damaged by the frequent change of carriage. The earthen ware manufactures in the north had greater facilities in con veying clay and at a less cost. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—A break of gauge in a line eighteen miles longer than the Manchester and Southamp ton would be a most serious disadvantage, not only on ac count of the delay of transhipment, but the danger of in juring the goods. Large sums of money had been expended by the manufacturers in the Potteries, and in order to use that capital to the best advantage it was of great importance to be in a condition, by having direct railway communion tion from the north to the south, to compete successfully with the manufacturers of Whitehaven and Stockton-upon- Tees. Mr. Samuel Payne, carrying on the largest hardware trade at Southampton, obtained his goods from Staffordshire by canal to London, and thence to the South-Western ter minus at Nine Elms, and so on to Southampton. The cost per ton was 3/. 18s.; others, however, paid more. Also ob tains earthenware in great quantities by canal from Stoke, Stourport, by the Severn to Bristol, and from thence by coasters round the Land's .end to Southampton, at a cost of 21. per ton. By that rou t e grea t d e l ay t oo k place, and the goods were in addition liable to breakages. In one case, goods sent on the 27th of October, did not reach him until the 22d of February last. The average, however, was two months. Had not less than 200 tons in the course of the year, and paid about 700/. a year for carriage, about half of which he considered the Manchester and Southampton would save. Has also glass from Birmingham, but the manufac turers pay the expense of transit, which of course increased the price of the article. Should also keep less stock, and con sequently require less capital in his business. In his re-examination Mr. James handed in a copy of the Illustrated London News containing large wood cuts of the break of gauge at Gloucester, and the mode of tranship ment, with the confusion it has created amongst the pas sengers.—ls that an accurate picture of the mode of this transhipment? You see your crockeryware is being smashed to pieces, two children also have lost their mother, and one old gentleman put by mistake into a horse-box ? I do.— (Roars of Laughter.) The Committee then adjourned until twelve o'clock on Monday. CORK, MACROOM, AND KIL LARNEY RAILWAY. An adjourned special meeting of the scripholders in this Company was held on Saturday, in pursuance of the sessional orders, at the office in Moorgate-street, Mr. Thomas Nettle in the chair. At the previous meeting, it was stated that the total number of shares paid upon was 6,171, which, at 21. 10s. per share, gave a total amount of 15,427/. 10s. The expenses actually paid out of this fund amounted tc 8,538/. 155., while the liabilities amounted to nearly 7,0004 The adjournment took place in consequence of there not being a sufficient quantity of scrip present to constitute a legal meeting. — At the pre — sent meeting there was still a paucity of scrip, but it was resolved, nevertheless, on the motion of Mr. Wsley, seconded by Mr. Mosely, to withdraw the Bill, and wind up the affairs of the Company. BANDON AND BANTRY RAIL WAY COMPANY.—SPECIAL MEETING. An adjourned special meeting of the holders of bankers' receipts took place on Saturday, at No. 63, Moorgate-street, at 12 o'clock, in accordance with the resolutions of Parliament. At the former meeting there was was not a sufficient number of scripholders present to constitute a meeting, and the chairman had to adjourn the meeting to give time to the parties interested to get a sufficient number of scripholders in attendance. Mr. Nettley in the chair. The CIIAII%3IAN said that they were all aware that the present was an adjourned meeting for the purpose of taking the assents and dissents to the Bill for making a railway be tween Bandon and Bantry. The SECRETARY then read the advertisement convening the meeting, and the voting commenced, when there ap peared For going on Against 4,773 Majority A vote of thanks having been passed to the Cliairaan, the meeting separated.

He is abo u t 70 years of age, stands about five feet eight inches high, is extremely ignorant, especially . of the Sc r ipt ures , and though he m eets with such unprecedented success, he is by no means mentally calcu lated for an impostor. The number of visitors he re ceives of both sexes, of all ages, and of every grade of society, for ph ys i ca l aid, and the extermination of constitutional disease, is a fact incredible, and an anomally of the 19th century. He arrogates (he says) to him self "no power," but in the performance of his cases 'trusts alone to the efficacy of prayer and the faith of his patients. This impostor is making a rich harvest out of the hard earnings of the poorer classes, and duping thousands of weak-minded and credulous indivi duals who suffer their assent to precede their reason ; and it is devoutly to be wished that some influential party would speedily adopt means to rid the neighbourhood of so dele terious a nuisance, for it is needless to add that all who visit him are under the impression of their convalescence, while they eventually find themselves relapsed and duped of their money.

Gloucester Jourual. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE ON THE CORN-LAWS. (From Punch.) By accident or design our contemporaries have shown considerable unfairness in the report of the speech of the Duke of Cambridge. It is no joke when a person in the distinguished position of his Royal Highness thinks proper to " pronounce" on a subject of such grave im portance as the corn-laws, and we have therefore been at some pains to prevent one syllable being lost of the harangue with which this great Prince condescended to favour the Peers on Tuesday. The following may be relied upon by those who are trustingly disposed as a verbatim copy of the Duke's manifesto : eMy Lords and Gentlemen,—l mean Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—that is, my Lords—l think I owe it to my country—no, I don't mean that, for I can say I never owe a shilling to anybody, but it is due to the country— to state the line I shall take—though, thank goodness, I never had a share in any line in my life—on this im portant question.—(Hear.) I believe —no, I don't be lieve, for I never believe anything till I see it before my eyes, and then I can't say what is passing behind my back —th a t l am t h e o ld est mem b er of this Ilouse. No, not the oldest—yes, yes, the oldest member, that is, the father of the House—l don't mean that, but the father of the Peerage. When I started in life—that is, before I started at all—to go to Hanover, I made up my mind —no, not my mind, exactly ; but I determined not to vote. Yes. No, no, I didn't determine not to vote—yes I did—not to vote against the Government.—(Hear, hear, from the Government benches.) Nine or ten years ago, when I came to settle —no, not to settle, for I never owed a penny, as I said before—but when I came I went to the Noble Duke —no, not vou—no, that—yes, you—that one—the Duke of Welling ton, who was then Prime—Prime, What-d'ye call-it—no, no, not Prime What-d'ye-call-it—Prime Minister—yes, that's it—Prime Minister. Well, I asked him if I should be right to vote for the Government? The Noble Duke being at the head of the Government said yes. Well, a little while before, I had asked the same question —no, not the same question—but the same thing in other words—yes, that is the same—well, well —I asked Earl Grey, who was then the Prime Things magig—Prime Minister—l asked hina whether I did right to vote for the Government? Earl Grey said, yes —no--I have the satisfaction—yes I have—no I haven't —well I had—that is to say, I have the satisfaction of securing the approbation of these two—yes, two—no, three —no, I'm right, these two great characters. Well, gentlemen, I don't come to this dinner—l beg your par don—this House—l don't come to change my conduct at my time of life. When the Hon. Baronet proposed this toast—no, no—l beg your pardon—not this toast—this measure, I went to hear his speech. I hoped to be con • vinced, but I wasn't—yes I was—that is, I was con firmed —no, no, no—l was confirmed when I was 15 years old—l was convinced the measure was bad —no, no, not the measure—l don't care for the measure—that might pass—it's not that I object to, it's the consequence of the measure I don't like—though the measure's of no consequence. Not that I mean that exactly—but you know what I mean.—(Cheers from the cross-benches.) His Royal Highness, after having whispered some thing to the Bishops, concluded by stating that he could not approve of the measure, and, as he could not vote in in its favour, he should not vote at all. A feeling that his speech not being followed by a ♦ote was much ado about nothing, became immediately very general, and his Royal Highness sat down, but did not conclude his speech; of which he continued to reiterate detached sentences throughout the remai,der of the evening. ANOTHER LAFFARGE CASE A trial for murder by poisoning, which bears a strong resemblance to the celebrated Laffarge case, has just occupied the Court of Assize of Montpellier. It lasted for several days, and the verdict was pronounced on Thursday last. The circumstances may be stated briefly as follows :—ln August, 1844, M. Malaret, a gentleman farmer of Beziers, died suddenly , and a few months afterwards his widow, a young woman of some beauty and good education, married a young man named Berdet, with whom she had become acquainted by visiting the school where her son was placed, and at which Berdet was a teacher. This ac quaintance ended in a criminal intercourse, which reached the knowledge of her husband, also a young man, and remarkable for his kindness to his wife, and led to a serious quarrel between her and her husband, as also to the dismissal of Berdet from his situation, but the husband still retained his wife in the conjugal domicile, and appeared disposed to forgive her. Berdet, who is stated to be a man of very dissolute habits, fell into great distress, but re ceived, it is supposed, pecuniary assistance from Madame Malaret, and whenever an opportunity offered, their criminal intercourse was renewed. The death of M. Ma laret took place after repeated attacks of illness, which there is no doubt now were the result of a series of at tempts to destroy him, but at length, and at a moment when his health was considered by his friends to be re established, he fell ill and died. During his last illness all the servants were sent out of the way by his wife, and she alone attended him. Suspicions were entertained in the neighbourhood, but nothing, even in the way of rumour, reached the ears of the authorities until several months after the marriage between Berdet and the widow had taken place, when their attention was excited by the receipt of an anonymous letter, and an inquiry was instituted. The body was exhumed and a large quantity of arsenic was found in it. Monsieur and Madame Berdet were then arrested and brought to trial on the charge of murder. The evidence against the female was very strong indeed—the adulteries between her and Berdet during the life-time of Malaret were clearly established, and many facts were proved showing that Madame Malaret must have adminis tered poison to her husband frequently, and that finding his constitution triumphed over the administration of arsenic in small doses, she had at length resolved to give such a quantity as to render death certain. It was proved that, during the last illness, she had prevented the servants from approaching the room of the victim; that she alone had prepared his food, and that she had refused to call in the aid of a physician. The case as against Berdet, however, was far from conclusive, and he was acquitted. Madame Berdet was found guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and sentenced to imprisonment, with hard labour, for life. She evinced during the trial great self possession, and in very energetic terms protested that she was innocent, but when the verdict was given she betrayed great emotion.

THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE MERSEY. —.The commendable effort to relieve the distresses of the poo r I r i sh who suffered so severely in life and property from the recent collision on the Mersey, has been deservedly successful. The subscription, we learn. amounts to nearl y 1501 . RATHER AWKWARD.—" MY dear," said a Minister, in a great rage to a pretty vaudeville actress, " I have been grossly insulted. Once for all, you must dismiss your porter." " I have thought of it more than once," replied the actress; but what can I do? The poor fellow is my father." NORWICH, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—EarIy this morning this city was thrown into the greatest consternation by a most disastrous fire, involving a serious sacrifice of property, break. ing out on the premises forming the St. James's Factory. The property is termed No. 2 of the Norwich Steam-power Corn pany, the company having within the last few years raised two immense factories near the city, which, though they have excited considerable prejudice amongst the handloom weavers, have led to the employment of from 1,000 to 1,500 persons, a great majority of whom are women and children. These, we are given to understand, are thrown out of employment by this calamity, which must nec essar ily a ff ec t t h e trade of Norwich. According to information collected on the spot, it appears the alarm was raised by a boy about four o'clock, who perceiving fire and smoke issuing from that part of the factory called the engine-house, instantly hastened for assistance, at the same time loudly ca lli ng " Fi re. " Within a few minutes many labourers hastened to the factory and found, as before stated, the engine -house —a large brick double-roofed building—in flames. The police and firemen of the City were promptly aroused, and while the engines were being conveyed to the spot, the usual precautionary measures were adopted f or th e preservation of the valuable property in the main b u ildi ng. The engine belonging to St. George's, Colegate, was the first to be got into operation, then followed by those of the Corporation, one from the barracks, with a strong de tachment of the Carbineers ; and lastly, that connected with the Union Fire-office. Notwithstanding this powerful force, the firemen working with the greatest ardour, the devouring element continued to rage with much fury, and many doubts were entertained as to the safety of the entire property. By seven o'clock the fire had reached its height, and at this juncture the firemen succeeded in what is termed a " good play " on the flames. They then began rapidly to decline, and in an hour or so they were effectually subdued. The engine-house is gutted, and its valuable contents— engines, machinery, tsc.—much injured. Departments in the factory were hired by nearly all the manufacturers of Norwich—Messrs. Wright, Willett, Hinds, Blake, Towich, Middleton, and others, having spinning-jennies or other ma chinery fixed in the building. These, however, are chiefly untouched, the greater damage being to the engine -house and rooms closely adjoining. That belonging to Mr. Wright is the most injured. There are various conjectures as to the cause, but as yet it is involved in mystery. It is said that it first broke out in a drying-house in the occupation of, Messrs. Fowler and Campin; but by what means is not known. It is remarkable that the watchman does not leave till about 4 o'clock in the morning, when he goes to call up some of the men who belong to the establishment ; and almost as soon as he had left the premises this morning the fire was discovered. It is considered somewhat singular that this outbreak has occurred at a time when prosecutions pre ferred by the master manufacturers against tradesmen for having articles of their make in their possession, without giving an account of them, are going on before the magis trates. Whether the fire can be connected with these pro secutions, or traced to them in any way, we cannot state. The splendid shaft of the building, though adjacent to the fire, has received no injury, nor has the main building. The principal damage is to the engine-house, engine, and machi. nery, and goods attached thereto. LA WIN TELLIGENCE ROLLS' COURT, June G. Lord Langdale was occupied during the early part of the day is hearing consent petitions, of which there was a large number on the list. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. REDDENFIELD. Mr. Twiss, on the part of the Crown, applied for the post ponement of this cause, as well as three others under the same title, till Thursday next. He stated that they would be all embodied in a petition, and thus come properly before the Court on that (the general petition) day. The application was granted, LOCKHART V. HARDY. This case, which was part heard, came before the Court for argument on one point, namely, as to the payment of a sum of 1,000/. to the petitioners. The arguments turned chiefly on the terms of the will of the testator. Lord LANGDALE, after hearing the arguments on both sides, said this .was a matter of great importance, and he must consider the point. If he could satisfy himself by the perusal of the schedule and other documents in the case, he should then give his opinion on the point before the Court. RIVES V. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Mr. TURNER, on the part of the defendant, said this was a bill filed by an alleged legatee, who claimed, under an al leged will, as the personal representative. of the Princess Olave, the daughter of Henry Frederick, Duke of Cum berland, a sum of 15,000!., which it was stated had been devised to her by his late Majesty George the Third. His Grace the Duke of Wellington lodged a de murrer to the will, and it would be his duty to state to the Court the circumstances under which the claim was made, and the grounds upon which his client had entered the present demurrer. It was alleged by the bill of the plaintiff that the will in question was duly exe cuted in 1774, that it bore the sign manual and was as follows. [The Learned Counsel then read the will, which it was stated was in the handwriting of his Ma jesty George 111., and stated that he bequeathed a sum of 15,0001." to Olave, daughter of our brother Henry Fre derick, Duke of Cumberland, in compensation for any losses she may have sustained."] The bill then stated that at the decease of his Majesty George the Third, his late Majesty George the Fourth became entitled to the chattels and other property of his father, with this liability of 15,000/. That legacy had not been paid to the plaintiff. The affidavit of the plaintiff then set forth that Lord Warwick told his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent that he wished to communicate some particulars respecting his brother to the Princess Olave, who had an interview with his Royal Highness and the latter nobleman. That after receiving a pledge from her not to divulge what he was about to communicate Lord Warwick informed her that she was the lawful daughter of the Duke of Cumberland, and that there were papers in his pos session which fie had obtained from the Earl of Chatham esta blishing this fact. These documents the affidavit stated were in her possession in the same state in which she had received them, with the exception of the corners of some of the sheets, which were torn off. The case came before the Prerogative Court, and the judge rejected the application, not on the ground that there had not been a just cause made out, but that there was no probate of the will alleged lodged in that Court. The affidavit of the plaintiff then went on to state that the late King George the Fourth made his will in the presence of the Duke of Wellington and Sir William Knighton, whom he appointed his executors; that the latter was dead, so that his Grace was the only surviving executor. It further stated that his Majesty George IV. died possessed of the same property as his father, including thi s legacy to the Princess Ulav e . It was bjected by the noble de fendant that the Princess Olave was not the party men tioned in the will, and even that if she were, he was not bound to comply with the present demand. The bill then stated that Dr. Wilmott was present at the birth of the Princess, and that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland never had any other daughter of the same name. The Bill then prayed that en ac count might be taken of the personal estate of his late Majesty George IV., and that the defendant might be compelled to pay the legacy. It appeared that the Princess Olave had made the plaintiff her heir, and she ac cordingly instituted the present proceedings, which his noble client thought fit to resist. The Learned Counsel then cited the Acts 3d and 4th of William the Fourth, respecting legacies, the case of " Peck V. Horn," decided in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and the Book of Royal Wills, to show that under the peculiar circumstances of the case the plaintiff was not entitled to recover the legacy. Mr. Turner had not concluded his arguments when the Court rose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 6. (Sittings in Banco.) HAMILTON v. THE QUEEN. This was an application to this Court, upon a writ of error from the Central Criminal Court, to quash the proceedings in a trial against the prisoner, upon the ground of error in the indictment. The then pri soner, now plaintiff, it will be recollected, was tried not long back at the Old Bailey, and found guilty, upon a charge of " obtaining money under false pre tences." The trial took place before Mr. Pollock, and the precise terms of the charge against the pri soner were, that he represented himself to the prosecutor ' as Arthur Rowan Hamilton, a captain of the sth Dra goon Guards. The prosecutor, believing the prisoner to be a captain in her Majesty's service, advanced him 5001. upon the strength of the representation. He, however, was not long deceived—he discovered that he had been imposed upon, and that the prisoner was not only not a " captain" at the time that he represented, but that he never was a captain, either in her Majesty's ser vice, or that of any foreign potentate, living or dew!, reigning or deposed. The prisoner must therefore have made some great mistake in stating that he was Captain in her Majesty's sth Dragoon Guards. Pro secutor, more indignant at the imposition to which he had been subjected than at the mere loss of his money, and anxious to protect the public morals and public interests against such doings, filed an indictment against the pri soner, the result of which was a verdict of "Guilty" upon the finding. Against that verdict and the whole of the proceedings, the prisoner now appealed upon a writ of error, the assigned error being alleged to consist in the use in the indictment of the words " then a captain." Mr. BALLANTINE appeared to support the prisoner's plea, and addressed the Court upwards of an hour. The learned gentleman argued with much ingenuity, urging upon the Court, that although the prisoner was not a captain at the moment, or exact time of the day laid down in the indictment, yet he might have been a captain on that particular day ; in other words, that he might have been a captain in the morning, although not a captain in the evening ; that nothing was more possible, nothing more common. In the course of his argument, the learned gent l eman resorted to numerous technicalities, entrenched himself in every available position to extricate the prisoner from the em barrassments of his situation, and concluded by sub mitting that the indictment contained error on the face of it ; and by hoping that the Court would give judg ment in favour of the prisoner. Mr. C. CLARK, for the Queen, contended for the validity of the indictment, maintained that there was no error in the framing of it, and that it was to no pur pose to dispute about " the time of day," at which the prisoner might have been a captain, and might not, the fact being that he never was a captain, either in the morning or in the evening. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding step by step to supp , rt the indictment, but had not spoken more than a quarttr of an hour, when Tne COURT expressed itself satisfied, and gave judg ment in the case, deciding that the indictment was per fectly good, and that there was no error in it. The Learned Judges respectively delivered their opinions, Mr. Justice Patteson, and Mr. Justice Williams con ourr:ng with Lord Chief Justice Denman. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 5. BARKER V. LMHIE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the amount of an account for insertion of advertisements in the Morning Herald, of the Direct Birmingham, Leicester, and Boston (with branches to Stamford and Peterborough) Railway. Mr. K-NOWLES said the plaintiff was a gentleman holding a high position in the city of London as an advertising agent, and the defendant was a medical gentleman residing in Saville-place, or row, at the west end of the town, who, in addition to bis professional duties, acted in the capacity of a provisional committeeman of the Direct Birmingham and Leicester Railway, and therefore rendered himself liable for the debts incurred by the plaintiff. The secretary to the company was first examined ; but he was unable to swear that the defendant had given other than a conditional consent to become a mem b er of the com mittee, or that he had not said " that if his friend Block thought well of it he would do so," that friend Block having subsequently erased his own name from the list of committee • men. Mr. Baron PaolKE stated that it was not possible to make a man liable unless it could be proved that he had given his consent to serve, and had acted as a committeeman. That proof in the present instance the plaintiff had failed to give, and therefore he should submit to a nonsuit. According to his Lordship's directions, a non-suit was en tered. Mr. MARTIN, who appeared for the defendant, said that he bad every reason to believe that the action was not that of Mr. Barker, who was a man of great respectability, but that it was one instigated by certain members of the com mittee against his client. COURT OF BAAKRUPTCY, June 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE.) IN LE STONE. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a wholesale laceman and warehouseman in the City, came up to pass his last examination, which had been twice adjourned. Mr. REED, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the assignees and other creditors to oppose, on the following grounds : He said that the bankrupt had himself sued out the fiat on the 18th of March last. Up to March, 1845, he had carried on business in his own name, and on that date he had issued a circular to the parties with whom he dealt that he had taken his clerk, Mr. Wm. Everett, into partnership, and that the business would be carried on under the firm of Stone and Everett, and the principal creditors, Messrs. Stagg and Man - tell, at their joint request, renewed over-du.i accounts of Stone to the amount of 1,000/., taking bills of the new firm. Business was carried on up to the time of the bankruptcy, in the names of Stone and Everett, but since then the bank rupts had positively sworn that there was no partnership, This was highly important to the creditors, as there were other debts claimed by relatives of the bankrupt, to the amount of 1,0001., which had been received by Stone be• fore the alleged partnership, and they would share the divi dend arising out of the property and goods supplied on the faith of the partnership, whereas they ought only to receive a dividend under the separate estate of Stone. wag M r. notL Lo a is T u D bi , e s c o t l ie fo i r t o i r n g fo u r ir t y h e a t ba t n h k e ru p p r t u , se contended urnagt t n h ;Rse a iirort t snbiw t ilel h irapa i tr.s s met () ao r ieslrteyci accou nt t o iknowin his whethe r power.

Mr. LLOYD Lea pointed out some very curious discrepancies in the accounts, yet they bal auee d l and that always looked like fiction ; yet he did not see what benefit would arise to the creditors by a further adjournment. Mr. REED said there ought to be two separate accounts. The Learned CoMMISNONER said it would be better to let the bankrupt pass his examination without prejudice as to any question as to the partnership. The examination was then taken and passed. The debts were 6,000/., the assets about 1,000/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY LEBONE. Thomas Assfuton Smith, Lq , of 13, Hyde Park gardens, was charged on a warrant with having com mitted an assault upon the person of Mr. John Richard Wake Thompson, the son of a solicitor, of No. 2, Buck lersbury. The case arose under the following circum stances:— It appeared that complainant's father had been ap plied to by a Mr. Charles Bennett to make application by letter to the defendant for 1091., alleged tj be due in relation to his connexion with the London and Birming ham Direct Railway. The letter was written, but as no answer was returned a number of writs were prepared in the defendant's name, and the complainant was entrusted with the service. Ace :rdingly, the complainant went to the defendant's house, in Hyde Park-terrace, and was told that Mr. Smith was at breakfast. The maid asked him his neme, and he replied that it was Wake, so that he might get an interview ; and after waiting some time in the hall he was admitted to the defendant's breakfast room, when he immediately presented the writs, and Mr. Smith seized him by the collar of his coat, and shook him, at the same time threatening to whip his father. He also called complainant a scoundrel, and as he went towards the door lifted up his foot for the purpose of kicking him. The complainant stated that he gave no provoca tion further than he had stated. In answer to the defendant's counsel he said, that in a moment of irritation he called Mr. Smith a scoundrel, and took hold of his coat in self-defence, but denied that he offered to kick the defendant.—Mr. Long remarked that however much Mr. Smith might have felt annoyed at being served with writs, still he was not justified in striking the com plainant, who was simply carrying out the law. The de• fendant was fined 40s. and coats. THE LATE MURDER and SUICIDE. On Friday, at six o'clock, Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the city of London, and a jury of 16 inhabitants of the ward of Bishopsgate Without, assembled in the Board room of the East London Union, No. 1, Devonshire square, to investigate the deaths of John Toomey, aged 57, and Mary Toomey, his wife, aged 38 years, the victims of the horrible tragedy which took place in Widegate-street, on Wednesday last, under the circum stances detailed in our columns of Thursday. The proceedings excited ccnsiderable interest, and the Rev. Dr. Russell, Rector of Bishopsgate, the chair man, and several other members of the Beard of Guardians of the East London Union were present during the inquiry. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies, which lay in the second floor back of the house No. 13, Widegate-street, Bishopsgate-street, On their return the following evidence was entered into:— Elijah Myers was first called. He said—l reside at No. 12, Sandys-row. On Wednesday afternoon last, about a quarter before 4 o'clock, I was in Widegate street, opposite No. 13, when a girl came running out, and said her father, she thought, was in a fit. I went up stairs at No. 13, with a person named Taylor, and found the door fastened, sad a chair placed against the door on the inside. I burst open the door, and saw the deceased man banging by a handkerchief from the rail of the bedstead. I saw no other person in the room at this time. I gave Alfred Taylor a knife, and he cut him down, There was a letter pinned on the outside of the deceased man's coat, and Taylor took it off and gave it to a policeman. We laid the decased man on the bed, and Mr. Gilbert was sent for, but he was quite dead. I saw nothing of the body of a woman. The Coroner here read the paper found pinned to the deceased man's coat, which was written on the back of the title-page of a pamphlet entitled " The Magazine of Popular Information on Capital and Secondary Punish ment." It was as follows :—" With all her faults I love her still, if she would but reform. I have tried all the means I could try, but in vain. She would not con form to anything rational, consequently, rather than be bound to allow her a single shilling, I'll suffer this a score times. No jealousy, both share alike, old girl. Oh, friends of humanity ! console my poor afflicted and distracted orphan girl." Mary Crawley said—l reside at 11, Knight's-build. ings, sun -street, and knew the deceased, Mary Tourney. I went to her house in Widegate-street on Wednesday afternoon, and was there when the room door was broken Open. About three-quarters of an hour after the man was found hanging I found the woman under the bed, lying on her right side. She was quite dead, and her hands and legs were tied up. Ann Barrett examined—l reside at 6, Widegate-street The deceased, Mary Toomey, was my sister. She bad been married to John Toomey 18 years. They have two children surviving, but neither was staying with them. I saw my sister on Wednesday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, in Petticoat- lane, and conversed with her. On the previous day I met the deceased man, and offered to give him some beer, but he refused it, saying that there was something the matter with his heart, and he could not drirk it. He went to my place and had some coffee, and left about half-past 9 o'clock, and I gave him 6d., as he said he had no candle. He was in the greatest distress, and deceased and his wife had pawned all their things to buy food. They were allowed 2s. a week and two loaves of bread by the union. He was latterly a porter, but he had had no work to do for the last three months. They paid 2s. a week for rent ; but I think they were a week In arrear. The deceased man had pawned his shirt off his back to get food. The de ceased woman was not a druilard, but she and her hus band quarrelled very much about their distress. On a previous occasion, last Christmas, I believe, he got a bottle of poison with intent to poison his wife. I think he was induced tocommit this act solely through distress. Several witnesses were here called, who spoke to the dreadful distress in which the deceased parties appeared to be, and to their continual habits of quarrelling. Mr. C. H. Gilbert examined—l am a surgeon, and re side at No. 1, Raven-row, Spitalfields. About four o'clock on Wednesday last I was called to 13, Wideeate street, and I folind the deceased man dead from hanging. About half an hour after I was called in to see the de• ceased woman. I found her under the bed, covered with a sheet, and quite dead from strangulation. The woman's hands were tied in front of her, and the legs were also tied with some shreds of old bed coveri ig. Both de ceased persons had, in my opinion, been dead seven or eight hours. The deceased woman was in the last month of pregnancy. By the jury—The woman's hands were tied so loosely that I think she might have released them if she had thought proper. There can be no doubt but the man had placed her where she was found under the bed be fore he committed the act himself. Mary Anne . foomey, the daughter of the deceased per sons, was next called, and having been interrogated as to the nature of an oath, was sworn. She said the de ceased were my father and mother. I was at place when this happened. I saw my mother last alive about four o'clock on Tuesday. She was then sober. I saw her on Monday night, when she had been drinking. I saw my father on Tuesday night at home, and he told me he wanted me very early next morning. I cannot tell the cause of what has happened, unless it was in conse quence of my father being out of work, and being so poor. They had nothing but the 2s. from the union to live upon for the last three or four weeks, as my mother, who worked at tailoring, had had none to do. When she got work she used to earn Is. per day. They used to quarrel very much, and he used to say, " She might view in him her butcher." By the CORONER—My father has been in trouble, and been abroad. He returned home about nine months since. I have lost my place in consequence of this oc currence. My father attended Moorfields Catholic Chapel, but he received no relief from the chapel. Two other papers which had been found in the de ceased's room, were here read by the Coroner. They bore the following:— "I tried every effort to surpass this. Oh, horrid deed ! But the misguided, deluded woman, as if born to goad me to do it. May it be a lesson to bad wives, to reform in time. I should wish to say much more, only my mind is unsettled, Mr. Robertson talked to me very kind, and no man could take more pains with me than the Rev. P. Dyer, who offered me money—but to no use —my spirits were entirely gone, through the unkind fleas of my unhappy wife. Mr. Church, a good-hearted man, and a true faithful servant to the City Gas Com pany, and a good friend to the stokers, but many of them do not seem to know it." Mr. James Roberts, relieving officer of the East Lon don Union, examined— I first had to do with deceased's family about four years ago, when his wife came to me for relief in consequence of his being transported. I again saw the wife about six weeks ago, when she came for relief, and I saw the man on Tuesday last, when he came to me about his wife. After I first saw the wife I visited them, and found the man had no shoes. I then told them to come before the board. I hinted to the board that as the wife was pregnant they had better go into the house, but the woman had so strong an objection to the union that the board &lowed them 2s: per week and two loaves of bread. This was on tug 29:h of April, and that would carry them on for our weeks. I told the m on the last time the allowance was given that that was the last time. They omitted to apply until last Friday, in stead of applying , on the 27th of May, and I then gave her the same reli, fas before. They were to have come before the board on last Wednesday. I called upen them last Sunday evening, and tried to urge upon the woman, as she was so tar advanced in pregnancy, to go into the house. They both objected to this very strongly, and the man appeared very desponding. On Tuesday evening last Toomey came to me, and told me not to give his wife any more relief, as she was unworthy of it. She had come home drunk on the Monday night, and had gone out on that (Tuesday) morning, and been out all day.

He said—John Toomey was, about four years ago, in the employ of a wholesale confectioner in St. John -street-road, where he committed, in con junction with a fellow-servant, robberies to a very large amount. Indeed, when the discovery was made, a whole roomful of grocery and other things were found, with which it was his intention to set up business for himself, he having given his companion 151. as his share of the plunder. Ile was transported for seven years, but his good conduct caused him to be liberated at the expiration of four years. Shortly after committal, Toomey's wife discover 4 that he had 1001. in the savings' bank, and she got the Rev. Dr. Russell and others to write to the Secretary of State about it. After considerable trouble the Secretary of State wrote to the then Sheriff, I believe Mr. Alderman Magnay, and the woman ultimately got all the money but 101., which she expended in her support. On the relt-ase of Toomey he exileeted to have found his wife had still the 1001., but when he found she had not he became so enraged and disappointed that he appeared to detest her, and fre quently threatered to destroy her. The jury, after hearing this statement, again con sulted for about a quarter of an hour, when they re turned a verdict, " That the deceased, John Toomey, destroyed his wife and then himself, being at the time in a state of temporary insanity." THE HYDROPATIIIC SYSTEM. IMPORTANT CORONER'S INQUEST. On Friday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, the City C, , roner, st the King's Head, Eastcheap, on the body of Mr. Richard Dresser, of No. 9, in the same street. The greeted interest was manifested on the occasion, because it had been generally reported that the deceased had died owing to improper treatment received at the hvdropathic es tablishment of Dr. Ellis, at Sudbrook Park, near Petersham. Dr. Elli: was:present, attended by Mr. Hance, solicitor, who watched the proceedings on his behalf. After the jury had been sworn, the Coroner said that he was entirely ignorant of the circumstances immediately con nected with the death of the deceased; but as it had been represented to him that Mr. Dresser had lately gone into an establishment in the country, with a view of procuring me dical advice, where he had died, and that since the body had been brought home some suspicious circumstances had been discover,d, he thought it advisable that ran inquest should be held, for which investigation the jury were then as sembled. Thomas Hubert, of the Great Hall, Hungerford-market, lighterman, had known deceased for 30 years, who was an accountant, and lived on the opposite side of the way. He complained of being ill during the last 12 months, his illness arising, as he thought, from rheumatism or sciatica, causing shooting pains through the e. hole of his limbs, which at times were quite powerless. On Friday last he saw deceased at his own residence, when he said he was very poorly, and that ho was going to place himself under the care of Dr. Ellis, near Richmond. While witness was conversing, D. Ellis arrived, when, in the most familiar manner, the doctor said that he should go down with him in his cab that afternoon, and appointed to meet him at half-past three, in Sackville-street. They did not, however, meet, but Mrs. Dresser accompanied her husband to the doctor's esta blishment. Mrs. Eliza Muriel, of 32, Elm-grove, Hammersmith, had known deceased for three years. He frequently complained of being unwell. About five weeks since he had an attack of jaundice, but was soon cured. On Thurs-lay or Friday last she saw deceased at Eastcheap, when he told her that he was in very good health, only that he suffered from severe rheu matic pains. On Sunday last she saw him at Dr. Ellis's es tablishment at Sudbrook Park, near Petersham; be then seemed rather poorly, and complained of sickness. He was in bed when she salty him. When he was afflicted with jaundice he was attended by Mr. Waterworth, surgeon, of the Old Kent-road. W. D. Dresser, of 11, Rotherfield-street, Islington, is cousin to deceased. Besides the jaundice, lie complained of severe pain about the hip, which he called rheumatism. He had had a similar attack four or five years ago, when he was laid up for three months. The last time I saw deceased alive was on the 28th of May, when he complained of pain in the groin. His expression was, that he was suffering from rheumatism. He was fomented with warm water, and witness then left him. On last Tuesday morning he learned that Mr. Dresser was dead, when he accompanied Mrs. Dresser to Richmond, together with Mr. G. Arnold. When he saw deceased his body was lying on a bed in room No. 4. There was a great change in his face. He was nearly black about the neck. He was a dark man when in health ; but his face, when a corpse, was particularly so. The body ap peared to be much swollen, and froth was issuing from his nostrils, covering a large portion of his face. They had seen Dr. Ellis previous to their examining the corpse ; when, after asking the doctor the cause of death, he placed a paper in his hands, which contained the diagnosis. This paper was as follows : " Mr. Richard Dresser came here on Eriday last, to seek relief from what he termed rheumatism in the hip (properly sciatica), giving no other particulars; the case was thought admissible. But it soon appeared that he had been suffering from hepatitis of the sub-acute character, giving rise to sup puration; occasioning exudations of lymph and a rapid ex tension of the disease to the adjoining viscera. The symp toms were tympanitis, total inaction of the bowels, and sluggishness of the urinary organs, very severe pain in the left leg from the groin along the thigh to the ancle, coldness of the extremities, and less of power. He was treated as is usual to subdue the symptoms; the pain was soon suspended; the bowels, though stubborr, acted freely, after the means had been tried, and continued to do so; and the urine either passed of itself, or was drawn off. The appetite allowed of his taking a little farinaceous nourishment, but disease pro ceeded insidiously; sub-acute inflammation advanced gra dually, though then was no sign of active progress; the organ became generally the seat of suppuration, the pulse became quicker and softer, with much perspiration ; the countenance became pale and sallow. Thera was tumefac tion of the liver, with a doughy, oedematous, or boggy feel of the hepatic region generally. The enlargement, or bulg ing, was very great about the false ribs. Oppression, with dyspncea, or short breathing, immediately preceded his de cease, which took place at twenty minutes before eight o'clock this morning, June 2, without either a sigh or a struggle. " In three or four hours after his decease the fluids filled the chest and throat, and oosed copiously out of the ears, nose, and mouth. " J. E." The witness continued Having asked the doctor the cause of death), he said it was not rheumatism but hepatitis, and that, had he known he was labouring under that com plaint, he would not have admitted him into the establish ment. Mrs. Dresser. widow of the deceased, was then led into the room, and it was with the greatest difficulty that she answered the necessary questions. She saw her husband at the establishment on Sunday afternoon last, when she un derstood that her husband had been placed in some warm baths, and he said that his pain had left him. He was sitting up in bed, covered with blankets, and with wet wrappers around him. lie said that they had kept him very humble, not what he bad been accustomed to. When she saw him sitting in bed, she said to him, " What a strange position 1" He replied that his two legs were useless, and were as cold as marble. She took tea with him, and wished him to take some, but he refused, because he said that it was not allowed. Dr. Ellis came home in the evening, when she told the doctor that she thcught her husband was very bad, because he was so very cold. The doctor then took a large cloth, placed it in a wash-hand bason containing water, and then put. it on her husband's stomach, because, he said, he was afraid of inflammation, which he wished to stop; because, he said, he could not suffer so valuable a life as his to be lost. Deceased was shortly .fterwards placed in a bath. She saw him in half an hour, when there was so remarkable a change in his appearance that she thought her husband was struck with death. He was so very dark under the eyes that Mr. Ellis acknowledged he was much al•ered. My husband said that he felt no pain. His perspiration had stopped, which one of the bath men told her was in favour of the patient. The doctor asked her if she wished to have further advice, or if she desired to remove her husband? She then left her husband, the doctor promising to send her a letter in the morning, which she was to receive by eleven o'clock; but at nine the secretary of the establishment called upon her to acquaint her with her husband's death. She went down to Petersham, and, after a great deal of persuasion, was allowed to see the corpse. She did not know whether the bandages which had been appqed were ofdipped in warm or cold water. The baths were Constituted three pails of cold water with a small portion of hot taken from a small can which the bath-man held in his hand. Mr. James Hicks, surgeon, said that he was in partner ship with Mr. Waterworth, of the Old Kent-road. The de ceased had teen visited by his partner, but who was pre vented front attending the inquest in consequence of his being engaged in a labour case. The witness had assisted in a post racrtem examination of the deceased, in connexion with Mr. Waterwortu, his partner, on Thursday morning. The body externally presented the appearance ofa man who had died from suffocation, the face being bloated and of a livid colour, with bloody froth and serum issuing from his mouth and nose; the whole of the posterior part of the trunk also bore evidence of extreme congestion. In the chest the lungs were healthy, but enormously congested, as also the heart, which was large and flabby, but otherwise healthy In the abdomen, the bowels were greatly distented with flatus, but otherwise empty; the liver was healthy, but con gested, and 'bearing no evidence of any previous disease; the kidneys were slightly diseased, and also congested. He consi dered the imnediate cause ot death to have been extreme con gestion of the internal organs --namely, the lungs and heart, whics existed to such an extent as to produce all the effects of suffocation, in not allowing air to get into the lungs. This congestion was likely to be produced by the application of cold externally, whether by cold air or by cold fluids, to the body; cold applications have the effect of repeting the blood from the surface of the body to the in ternal organ e e, and from which, in many cases, arising from a weak condition of the constitution, the system was unable to relieve itself. He had read the paper written by Dr. Ellis previous to making the post mortem examination, which he then read again to the jury, endeavouring to divest it of is technical character. He did not think that the paper written by Dr. Ellis at all gave the true cause of death—quite the contrary. He did not think that there was the least appmrance of disease in the liver. There had evi dently been congestion of the lungs when the wet cloths were applied and if the water were cold it would generally produce deata. In these cases there should be the apiA tion of hot flennels and stimulants, so as to r estore circula tion. It appeared to him that Dresser could ceased had 'seen wetted with hot water, M a r t . he was.

DUTCH EXPEDITION AGAIN ST BALLY. Great preparations are being made throughout Jail for the expedition against Bally, which will. consist or 3,000 men, of all arms. The armament, it was _el pectected, would d e pa r t on t h e 15 t h i nst:smt f r om Ba tavia, Sourabaya, and Semarang. Serious apprehen sions are entertained by many prudent persons for the result of this expedition, the Ballinese being known tO be well prepared for it, and it is certain thtst a discomfi ture to the Dutch in Bally would be dangerous to their authority in Java, in its present discontented and im poverished state. The Governor-General iy , however, stated to be full of energy, and determined to try the arbitrament of the sword. The late Governor-General, it is well known, was averse to hostile proceedings against Bally, on account of financial dliffieulties Java. The merchants and civilians at Batavia are ap prehensive that in case of any check to the Dutch arms occurring in Bally, all the regular garrison of the place would be withdrawn, and that they will be 4compelled in the capacity of national guards to pees= garriscel duty, which, besides being unpleasant, would seriously interfere with the time for their own busitness.—Ore' land Singapore .
