There were remains of furniture in the ruins after the fire. By Mr. Justice ERLE—The prisoner did not give me any estimate as to the amount of his claim upon the office. Mary Tyrrell deposed that she lived with her hus band close to the house that was destroyed. About twenty minutes before twelve at night, on the 7th De cember, they were alarmed by the cry of fire, and on their rushing out she saw flames coming from the pre mises, and apparently from the windows over the gate way. Part of the premises were occupied by a person named Allen as a school. (The witness then pointed out, in a model that was shown to her, the situation of the prisoner's house and the other premises.) During the previous nine months the prisoner did not appear to be carrying on any business, and she believed, from messages that were sent, that he wished to let part of the premises. About three weeks before the fire the prisoner told her that she need not send any more messages to him, as he was going on a " travelling system," and after this he would come more frequently to the premises. On the night before the fire took place she had observed a very great light in the prisoner's room, which was completely illuminated, and there was also a strong smell of pitch and tar. Cross-examined—She did not see anything of the prisoner after she had observed the light. She had ob served the same smell about twelve months before, and on her mentioning the circumstance to the prisoner, he told her not to be afraid, for he used tar in his business. Mrs. John Allen deposed that she was a schoolmistress, and resided in Beech-street, near the prisoner. She remembered the fire breaking out at the time referred to by the last witness. On the 17th November she saw the prisoner in her nephew's school-room, and they had some conversation on the subject of an insurance, and the prisoner remarked that if a fire were to take place on the buildings it would be confined to these walls. Witness remarked that wherever fire once began it was difficult to say where it would stop, and as the buildings were very narrow she feared they would all come down. The prisoner repeated that it would be confined to theso walls ; and witness then asked him whether he intended to set the place on fire, and he replied, " I hope not," and witness said that if he did it would be a dangerous experiment. Sh e b e li eve d the conversation was began by the prisoner asking her if her nephew was insured, and she replied that he was not, but that he was on the eve of effecting an insurance, to which tho prisoner an• swered that he wished he had, or that it was a pity he had not. Cross-examined—There had been some talk of a rail road coming through this property, but she was not aware that effecting an insurance was de scribed as being likely to increase the value of the pro perty. Mr. Alfred Victor Allen proved, that for about six week previous to the fire, he had occupied part of the premises of the prisoner as a school-room. On the Saturday before the fire he left his school-room about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the fire was extin guished, and everything left perfectly safe. He had been on the prisoner's premises about a fortnight before the fire, and he then saw a number of articles used in the printing business, and several cases for type placed one upon the other, but he did not see whether they contained any type. The prisoner did not appear to be carrying on any business on the premises. The prisoner generally left the key with witness, and he got it from him on the Wednesday before the fire, saying at the time that he wanted to bring in some furni ture from Highbury, where he resided. On the morning after the fire he heard the prisoner say that he went to his workshop to get the keys to ob tain his razors; and on its being remarked that he did not appear to have been shaved that morning, he said that he had used cold water, but, in witness's opinion, it was evident that he had not been shaved at all. The prisoner then appeared anxious to know whether he, witness, was insured, and on his telling him he was not insured for a farthing, the prisoner said he did not think his own in surance would cover his loss • and he added that he had furniture on the premises. Witness replied that he did not know of any furniture being there, and the prisoner said he had brought it there himself on the Saturday, and that it came from a person in Tabernacle-walk. The prisoner was then asked what the furniture consisted of, and he said four mahogany chairs, without the cushions. The prisoner next said that he had been at the premises on the Saturday night before the fire with a light, and that in coming out he had stumbled, bat that he did not let the candle fall. The prisoner had, several times before the fire, talked to him upon the subject of his own insurance, and had likewise advised witness to insure his own property, and he told him that he intended to do so. The witness then corroborated the evidence of the former witness, Mrs. Allen, as to the statements made by the prisoner regarding the fire being confined to the walls of the buildings. Cross -examined—After the fire he observed a con siderabla quantity of the remains of printing type, and there were also portions of chairs and other furniture. Ile did not tell the magistrate that the prisoner repre sented to him that he did not think his insurance would be sufficient to cover his loss. The prisoner expressed a doubt whether his policy was completed, and witness then asked whether he had paid the demands of the office respecting it, and he replied that he haC ; upon which witness told him that if that was the case he wa perfectly safe. The prisoner did not ment i on any others furniture than the four mahogany chairs, of which he spoke as having brought them in on the Saturday before the fire. SURREY QUARTER-SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Pt CKLA and a Bench of Magistrates.) On Wednesday the trial of prisoners for felony com menced at the Court-house, Newington. The calendar contains the names of 29 persons for felonies, independ ently of several more for misdemeanors, and the latter part of the week will be occupied in the p h o e c a ti r r in e g ag o e f s ap o; ap peals, chiefly relating to the removal o of paupers. Harriet and Mary Loader, f the r 20 and 24, were severally indicted for plundering a Mrs. Nixon, of Croydon, of a great quantity of clothes and and other property. From the statement of Mr. T a yl or , counse l f or t h e prosecution, and borne o u t b y th e ev id ence o f the wit nesses,it appeared that the prisoners, who are sisters, were in the service of Mrs. Hixon, the prosecutrix. That lady having, on a recent occasion, missed some of her property, an examination took place, during which several of the missing articles were found is the pri soner Harriet's box. On a further search, another por tion of the property was discovered concealed us a place to which both the prisoners had access, and this led to their apprehension. Mr. CHARNOCK, who defended the prisoners, con tended that the charge was not established against the prisoner Mary, and in the course of the defence said that both the prisoners had borne excellent characters up to the period of the present transaction. The jury found Harriet Loader Guilty, and Acquitted her sister. The prosecutrix recommended Harriet Loader to mercy, and the CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence on her, observed that, but for that circumstance, the Court would have considered it their duty to have transported her, for there could not be a more heinous offence than a servant robbing an employer. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in Brixton House of Cor rection. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. THE GUARDIANS OY THE POOR.—Three young women, named Ann Carter, Joanna Smith, and Jane Turner, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having broken a lamp, opposite to the City of London Union, Cannon-street. The policeman who took the women into custody stated, that at half-past eight o'clock on the preceding night, he saw them throw stones at a lamp, and break it. The defendants, upon being severally questioned by the LORD MAYOR, said they had long been in the habit of working hard with a laundress, who had lately left that business, and whose retirement put them completely out of work, and took from them the means of support. They declared that they were well able to earn their own bread, and all they requested was the employment; that they had walked about the streets exhausted and hungry, and had, after having in vain attempted to obtain assist ance at the West London Union, applied to the house in Cannon-street, but were told by the person who at tended at the door that they could not see the superin tendent or overseer, by whom their necessities might be relieved ; and that, despairing of help of any kind, they committed the offence in order that they might get food, although they knew that they would get punishment along with it. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the defendants had made application more than once at the West London Union for relief, and to what parishes they belonged? One of the defendants said that she had been born in the very neighbourhood of the City of London Union, and that her parents were dead; and the other two stated that they came from Ireland, but had no friends there, and if they were sent back to that country they would be just as destitute as they were here, with the additional evil of having much smaller chance of being employed. One of the girls said they had been told, upon calling yesterday morning at the West London Union to beg relief, that they must call again at three o'clock; and upon calling at three, they were told they must call again at five ; and upon calling at five, they were told they must call again at ten in the morning. The LORD MAYOR-And you are willing to work? The defendants—Certainly ; we are well, able, and willing; but what are we to do? We can't perish in the streets, gentlemen. The LORD MAYOR said to Alderman Farebrother, who sat with him, and who has often in the same place expressed his hearty condemnation of the treatment to which persons who had no vice but poverty to be up braided with were subjected, that it was most difficult for a magistrate with any heart at all to restrain his indignation at hearing such statements, for which he believed there was unquestionable foundation. It was quite evident that the three young women before him were not such persons as should be seat either to a prison or a workhouse. He believed they were able to work, and he had no reason to doubt their willingness, but all signified nothing. At the places appointed for dis- , pensing relief to those who were sinking under want and fatigue there were kept porters, who, like bull-dogs, growled and snarled at their appearance, and whose principal recommendation was doubtless their capa bility of terrifying the deserving objects of public sympathy. Alderman FARERROTFIER said he fully agreed with the Lord Mayor in his Lordship's observations upon the hard treatment to which the poor were exposed, and he reprobated the palpable neglect by which their well founded claims and demands upon parochial bounty were met. The case before the Lord Mayor seemed to be calculated to impress upon any humane officer the ne cessity of making inquiry into its merits in a peculiar manner, and of affording protection and refuge until the result of such inquiry should bo ascertained. He (Al derman Farebrother) thought it would be advisable to issue a summons to the superintendent or overseer of the West London Union to attend Guildhall Police -court, in which district the house was situated, to answer to the com plaint. _ . _ Andrew Mallett, one of the fire-brigade, deposed that, on the Wednesday after the fire, he examined the pre mises, and found some remains of books saturated with turpentine under the rubbish, which had apparently sheltered them from the water, and they were completely soaked with turpentine. (The witness produced the books, which were handed to the jury to inspect.) Under the books there was a layer of shavings, which appeared to be covered with coal-tar. There appeared to be about a sack full in quantity of the shavings. In his opinion, the turpentine could not have come acci dentally upon the books, but they must have been com pletely steeped in it. On the following day witness discovered another sack of shavings, the sack being par tially burnt; and, according to his belief, it was near this spot that the fire commenced. Cross -examined—He ha l heard that a good deal of turpentine was used by printers for the purpose o f eleaning the types. Mr, Matthews, a surveyor, deposed that he valued the salv age f rom the fire, and he considered the type and stock-in -trade was not worth more than 901., and that the furniture could not have been worth more than seven or eight pounds. ilfn answer to a question by Mr. B ALLANTIN E, the witness sa re I . he considered, that if the prisoner had wished to havew,(._ printing materials that were destroyed, they _ 1 ) 1 11 , 1 1' cost him much more than the amount for w he was insured. 1 his was the ease for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANT/N on be z f then made a very powerful speech to the jury of the prisoner, commenting par ticularly upon the latterfr portion of the evidence, and arguing that so far it appearing that the prisoner could have had any from t i gain in the destruction of the property, that on th e w Y e e e o r o n e f trary he could not have re placed the articles that destroy e d un l ess h e had expended a much large r amountthan he would have been entitled to receive fro m the insurance office. Several respectable witnesses were called, all of whom gave the prisoner an excellent character. the u Mr. Justice ERLE having summed after deliberating about half an hour, returned a verdict r Of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then arraigned upon another in dictment, charging him with setting fire to the premises of Mr. Allen, the witness in the former case. Mr. CLAratsoN said that after the full inquiry that had just been concluded, he should not, as the facts would be precisely the same, occupy the time of the Court by offering any evidence. The Company for whom he and his Learned Friend had the honour to ap pear, felt it to be their duty to institute the present in quiry, h ut after the deliberate decision come to by the Jury, they considered they ought not to procsed any further. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. [A The LORD MAYOR —I shall send a summons to him to attend here, for I have no idea of transferring a case of this kind to an office in which a magistrate with views wholly at variance with mine upon so important a sub ject may sit to adjudicate. I found occasion the other day to make some observations upon the manner in which the affairs of the City of London Union have been transacted; to the utter carelessness and contempt which seemed to prevail amongst those in power when investi gations should take place into the alleged condition and claims of applicants. I have received a letter from the board of guardians professing to be an answer to these observations, but it is no answer at all. Of that, how ever, hereafter. I have now only to declare that nothing whatever shall either coax or intimidate me from the performance of such a duty as the conduct I every day see proofs of in the treatment of the poor imposes upon me in my capacity as chief magistrate of this City. Alderman FIREBRO'rIIER.—I fully agree with you in the expression of these sentiments. We unfortunately see in our experience as magistrates afflicting instances of the punishment of poverty as a crime. These three girls appear to me to be strongly entitled to our com passion, and the keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter will receive instructions to take care of them until the necessary inquiries shall have been made. THE RULES AND BYE-LAWS FOR THE REGULATION OF THE WATERSIEN AND LIGHTERMEN OF THE RIVER THAMES.—The LORD MAYOR said he considered it to be necessary, in order to give matter of so much im portance to the community the greatest publicity, and to do away with the possibility of excuse upon the part of those whom the new steam vessel regulations were particularly to affect, that he should read the most essential rules and bye-laws which had been passed by the Court of Aldermen, and allowed by Baron Platt. His Lordship then read the regulations which im posed penalties upon over-crowding steamers, and upon dangerously rapid transit through the river. The sub stance is as follows : lis. ac `nnTs licensed betty tnoeoe carryu t e y a t illaneu moret i r e t s a i C I tr u he g ae kn b o oneun d navigated gre, for hhai beexcept r four superficia a r of seven children under years, and the crew, for every y in the gunwales, feet of the deck, to be measured part deducting from the gross admea surement one -tenth thereof for the companions, , l u z g e on ,i tpe deck.

The LORD MAYOR observed that there were other rules, which provided in an especial manner against care lessness or negligence of those having the care of the lives and property of the public, and he belived and trusted that the strict observance of the whole would produce a very great change for the better on the great highway of the Thames. He assured the public, that in every case of complaint made before him, they would find their interests zealously attended to, and there would be no deviation from the important course he had, from the moment he became a magistrate, determined to follow, WORSHIP-STREET. George Samuel Abrahams, described as an auctioneer and bill broker, was charged with embezzlement, &c. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the first charges he was instructed to bring forward against the prisoner were preferred by a licensed vic tualler named Collins, then in attendance, and were marked with features of a very peculiar and aggravated character. The prosecutor had formerly been the pro prietor of a house in Wellelose-square, called the Maho gany Bar, where he carried on an excellent business until the 29th of June last, when the foundation of his house suddenly gave way, and the entire building fell down so instantaneously, as scarcely to leave time for the inmates to escape with their lives. Th e p rosecu t or in consequence of this misfortune was reduced to a state of temporary distress and embarrassment, and several of his friends and neighbours having proposed to get up a subscription on his behalf, the prisoner, with whom he had been previously rather intimately acquainted, and who affected deeply to commiserate his situation, volunteered his services to collect the subscriptions, which he had since done, to the amount, as far as could be ascertained, of at least 451., the whole of which, with the exception of about 61., which had been obtained from him by stratagem, he had appro priated to his own use. The prisoner had ever since kept out of the way, until the preceding evening, when he was apprehended upon another charge by Holland, the warrant-officer of the Court, who afterwards searched his house, and discovered therein a gold ring and brooch, several volumes of Shakspere's plays, and other articles, which had been since identified by Mr. Collins, who had missed them at various times while the prisoner was in the habit of visiting him and professing the utmost sympathy for his unfortunate situation. Holland, the warrant officer, produced the several articles above referred to, which were identified by Mr. Collins as having been taken from an apartment he had occupied, and to which the prisoner had access while en gaged in collecting the subscriptions on his behalf. On being asked if he wished to give any account of his possession of the property, the prisoner said that the books had been lent to him by the prosecutor himself, and that he had purchased all the other articles in Petti coat-lane. Another charge was brought against the prisoner, and Mr. BROUGH TON sa id h e h a d no hes i tation in remand ing the prisoner until Saturday next, but had no objec tion to accept substantial bail for his appearance. LAMBETH. Edward Edwards was placed at the bar, before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of attempting to defraud Frederick Gidney, a beer-shopkeeper, in the Waterloo road, of half-a-sovereign. On the preceding evening the prisoner and his companion entered the house of the prosecutor, and called for a pint of ale, which was served to them in the parlour. The prisoner handed to the landlord a piece of coin, purporting to be half-a-sove reign, and the latter, in order to test its genuineness, flung it ofT his nail towards the ceiling, and it disap peared as if by perfect magic. No person was observed to catch it, nor was its sound heard on the tables or floor, and the prosecutor stood in perfect amazement as to what could have become of it. The tables, the floor, and even the measures on the counter, were carefully examined for the piece of coin, but in vain, it was nowhere to be found, and its disappearance seemed a mystery. The prisoner insisted on change for his half-sovereign, and the landlord objected to a compliance with his request, on the ground that he had not the coin. A good deal of wrangling took place, during which the prisoner left the house, and was closely watched by a Mr. and Mrs. Wild, who had some suspicion of him, and saw him go close to a timber-yard near by, and deposit something in a corner, after which he returned. He then, instead of solicitation, demanded his change, but while blustering very loftily about his respectability, &c., and declaring that he should not be done out of ten shil lings in so foolish a manner, the parties who had watched him returned to the house with a paper full of gilt coun ters, some of which closely resembled sovereigns and half-sovereigns, which the prisoner had stowed away in the timber-yard. This fact being made known to the prosecutor, he at once sent out for a policeman and gave the prisoner into his custody. Some time after, however, a good half-sovereign was found in the bottom of a rummer glass, in which there was a small portion of ginger -beer. Mr. NORTON inquired if it was possible for the half sovereign to have dropped into the glass in which it had been found? Two witnesses swore positively that it had not, and declared it must have been dropped there by the pri soner or his companion with the same sleight-of-hand dexterity with which they managed to catch the counter resembling the half-sovereign when thrown up by the prosecutor. Mr. NORTON—What do you do for your living ? Prisoner—l attend Smithfield on the horse-market days, and get good bargains of nags for gentlemen, and some others ask my opinion of cattle and give me a trifle. Mr. NORTON—Are you a horsedealer, as I find you have so described yourself in the police sheet ? Prisoner —Not exactly a horsedealer, though I bees a tolerable judge of a beast. Mr. NORTON—WeII, what have you got to say to your attempt to defraud the prosecutor of ten shillings, and having in your possession those gilt pieces resembling sovereigns and half-sovereigns ? Prisoner—They are only counters to mark the game of cards with, and think ing there might be some bother about them, I got rid of them ; but they are not base coin ; I'd scorn the action to have anything to do with base coin. Mr. NORTON—I find that there has been a bank-note found apon you ; do yon choose to give any account as to the manner in which you became possessed of it ? Pri soner—Oh, yes ; a ballad-singer gave me that, and I had it about me for six or seven months. The note here alluded to is one of the Bank of Hindos tan for 16 lees of rupees, dated 1839, and on it are writ ten the name of Wigram and Co., Sept. 5, '45, and Crau ford, Colin, and Co. The prisoner was remanded to Saturday. SOUTHWARK. William Barton was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing a watch from the person of Mr. Frederick Arthur, in a tavern in Duke-street, Westminster. The complainant stated that on the preceding day he went to dine at a tavern is Duke-street, and that after dinner he laid his head on the table and went to sleep. When he awoke, which was in about an hour afterwards, he discovered that his watch had been taken out of his waistcoat pocket, the guard having been cut evidently with a sharp instrument. A valuable watch was here produced by Cox, shopman to Mr. Tarrant, the pawnbroker, of Charlotte-street, which the complainant identified as his property, and to be the same of which he had been robbed as above described. Cox stated that on the preceding day the prisoner came into his employer's shop, and producing the watch, wanted him to lend 30s. on it in pledge. Wit ness observing that it was a valuable watch, and sus pecting that the prisoner had come dishonestly by it, questioned him on the subject, and his reply at first was, that it was his own property, but he afterwards ad mitted that it belonged to a captain in the army, who, having expended all his ready cash, had, therefore, employed him (the prisoner) to pledge his watch to raise the wind. Witness suspecting the truth of all that had been asserted on the occasion by the prisoner, gave him into custody, and soon afterwards the owner of the watch came forward and claimed it as his property. In reply to Mr. COTTINGIIAM, the complainant said that while he was at dinner in the tavern, he had a distinct recollection of seeing the prisoner enter the room, and he had no doubt he afterwards availed himself of the circumstance of his falling asleep, to plunder him of his watch. The prisoner was committed for trial, Mr. Thomas Walker, described as a merchant, was charged with committing a violent assault on a Mr. Pad more, of High-street, Marylebone. The complainant said that some time since he ad vanced the sum of 581. to a clergyman's widow in Stamford-street, to enable her to purchase some fur niture for a house which she was about to let out in ready-furnished lodgings. At the period of handing over the loan, he obtained from the lady a bill of sale by which he was empowered to dispose of the furniture if she failed in repaying the sum advanced to her. He had of late made repeated applications for the money on account of the impropei . manner in which the affairs of the widow's house were conducted, and finding that they were unavailing, he therefore on that day put the bill of sale into execution, by taking a cart to the house for the purpose of removing the furniture. While he was superin tending the removal of the goods, the defendant, who acted on the occasion as the widow's champion, rushed upon him, seized him by the collar, struck him violently, and threatened to annihilate him if he dared presume to touch the furniture, and his conduct was so outra geous, that he was compelled to call a policeman and give him into custody. The complainant here produced the bill of sale authorising him to dispose of the lady's goods in the event of the non-payment of the money he alleged he had advanced to her. Mr. COTTINGHAM asked the defendant why he acted with such violence towards the complainant, who ap peared to have been justified by law in having acted as he had done, in the removal of the goods. The defendant, who seemed considerably excited, ad mitted the assault, but declared the provocation was so great, and he felt so thoroughly disgusted at the conduct of the complainant, that he could not control his temper, and certainly did give hira a shaking. After some recrimination, Mr. COTTINGHAM said, as the defendant had admitted having assaulted the complainant, he should call upon him to enter into his own recognisance in 401., and find two sureties of 201. each to keep the peace. WANDS WORTH. 7 T or ht h p o r u i s s e o , n c e h r a s r hga e a d b w e i e t n h refusi Five me n were b rought from the Wandsworth Union admitted ng on t the o w or p k r . evious even ing, and were supplied with supper, bed, and breakfast, after whi c h th ey were required to work four hours at a' hand corn-mill. They all worked for an hour and then refused to do any more, alleging that it was a sufficient amount of labour for six ounces of bread and an ounce of cheese. This is the usual excuse made by these men; but the fact is, that a prison is more preferable to these starv ing wretches than the union, the dietary is more ample and nutritious, and it is for the sole purpose of being placed in confinement that they refuse to work, and destroy their clothing. Mr. PAINTER inquired into the condition of the men, the majority of whom were agricultural labourers. After pointing out to them the labour they would have to do in prison would be much severer than that they were re quired to do at the union, he asked them if they would go back and finish their task? The prisoners positively refused to do so, and said they preferred being sent to prison. Mr. PAINTER said it was a most alarming fact, that for several months past he had, by reference to his book, been committing casual paupers to gaol, at the rate of 2,000 a year. The increase in the county-rate would consequently be enormous, and would no doubt be felt very severely. He saw no remedy for this state of things. He had tried heavy punishments and light punishments, but it was all to no purpose. It was evi dent that some remedy must be adopted, but what that remedy should be he was at a loss to say. He trusted that public attention would be drawn to the fact. Sergeant Payne, 11 V, observed that one and all of the prisoners who were brought to the station-house, said they preferred being in prison than in the union. Mr. PA YNTER—This ought not to be the case; a poor man ought not to dread the workhouse more than a prison, nor should he be treated, when he goes there, worse than those who have committed a crime. I have no alternative in this case but to commit the prisoners for fourteen days each. The prisoners were then committed. THAMES. James Brown, an Irishman, upwards of sixty years of age, was charged, on a Custorn-house informa tion, with smuggling 15 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. It appeared that an officer named Dean had informa tion that certain persons were "carrying and convey ing" smuggled tobacco, and he met the prisoner, who answered the description of one of them, in the Com mercial-road on Tuesday evening with a small bundle, which appeared very heavy for its bulk, in his hand. The prisoner was smoking a cigar at the time, and Dean asked him what he had got in the bundle. He made no reply to this, but attempted to drop it behind him. The officer seized it, and on finding it contained tobacco very closely compressed, he took him into custody, and again asked him what it contained, and where he obtained it. The prisoner made some very evasive answers, but at last admitted that the bundle contained tobacco, and that a man who had promised to meet him at Whitechapel Church gave him the bundle to carry. He was conveyed to the station house, and upon searching him, six pounds of com pressed tobacco was found in his pockets. The bundle contained nine pounds. After some further proceedings, Mr. BRODERIP said, my duty is to sentence you to pay a fine of 100/. to the Queen, and be imprisoned until it is paid. I have no power of mitigation, but the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Customs have, and if you can make out a case for their merciful consideration, it will be attended to. James Hornblower, a shipwright, was charged with committing a breach of the peace and using threatening language towards Mr. Thomas Gaster, of Cotton-street, Poplar. The complainant stated that he was foreman ship wright in a ship-building yard at Blackwall. The pri soner had been occasionally employed in the yard, about eighteen or twenty months ago; but some doubts having been raised as to his sanity, he was discharged from the yard. Within the last three weeks the prisoner had again waited upon him, and asked for employment, but as he appeared to be very excited, and not fit to be on the premises, he refused to employ him, on which the prisoner called him by abusive names. In addition to that, the prisoner told a workman on the premises that he intended to terminate the existence of the witness and his own as soon as possible, and that in the course of another week he would hear of something very strange. The prisoner said ho bad been out of employ some time, and had suffered great privations. Mr. Gaster, from whom employment was sought, said the facts relating to the prisoner were very painful in deed. The man was at one time in good circumstances, and he was an excellent workman, and would be fully employed if he was of sound mind, but unfortunately he was insane. It was finally arranged that the prisoner should be detained in the custody of the gaoler of the Court until five o'clock, to give his friends an opportunity of consulting with the parish. A few minutes after the magistrate had left the Court, Mr. Kemp, relieving officer of Poplar, accompanied by Dr. Caillie, Mr. Gaster, and others, came to the Court for the purpose of certifying to the lunacy of the man, and placing the necessary papers before the magistrate for his signature. On learning that Mr. Broderip had left the Court, they consulted with Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, who said there was no alternative but to send the alleged lunatic away in the van to the House of Correction, but he would be liberated, on the 20th inst., when the sessions commenced, if no articles of the peace were exhibited against him, and the friends of the pri soner could then take ulterior measures to prevent him doing harm to himself and others. COURT OF LIEUTENANCY, GUILDHALL. Yesterday a Court of Lieutenancy was held at Guild hall, to take into consideration a letter from the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Department, communicating her Majesty's com mands for the completion of the permanent staff of the regiment of Royal London Militia; the retirement of the present, and the appointment of another adjutant, the filling up of the vacant commissions in the regiment, and on other business ; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. There were present, besides the Lord Mayor Alder men Sir C. S. Hunter, the Colon e l o f t h e Royal 'London Militia, Farebrother, Wilson, Sir W. Magnay, Bart., Sir Chapman Marshall, Hooper, W. Hunter, and Challis; also Sir Moses Montefiore and a large number of the Common Councilmen, who are officers in the Lieutenancy. Mr. Smith, the clerk, read the letter of Sir James Graham, which stated that it was the intention of her Majesty to call out the militia early in the ensuing year, for which reason the Lieutenancy was requested to make as early a return to the War-office as possible of the officers necessary for the performance of the duties of the regiment. The list of the names and residences of the present officers was then read, and several vacancies were de clared. the collieries of Ireland, manufacturing iron, compressing peat, and thereby reducing the price of fuel.

RATING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S FARM AT WINDSOR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—In consequence of a memorial addressed to Prince Albert on the subject of the alleged claims of .the parish upon his Royal Highness for arrears of poor rates, amounting to 2281., due upon Flemish Farm, signed by the whole of the parochial au thorities, the Prince commanded a case to be drawn up, setting forth the nature of his Royal Highness's occu pation of the farm in question, as well as the grounds upon which the payment was resisted, and submitted to the law officers of the Crown for their opinion thereon. It may be recollected, that at the last vestry meeting which took place at Windsor, resolutions were unani mously carried that his Royal Highness, having a bene ficial occupation in Flemish Farm, was justly liable to pay all rates and taxes due for the said property, and that the Prince be applied to by the collector to pay the arrears then due. This morning Mr. Darvill, solicitor (who had been professionally engaged in the matter on the part of the parish), accompanied by Mr. Thomas Adams, the mayor and vicar's warden, Messrs. John Clode, jun., and In galton, churchwardens ; and Messrs. T. Cleave, Noke, and Chisholm, overseers, waited upon Mr. Anson, the Prince's Private Secretary at the Castle, agreeably to the request of Mr. Anson, for the purpose of having communicated to them the opinion which had been ob tained by the Prince from the law officers of the Crown, as well as to be informed of the final determination of his Royal Highness. Mr. Anson informed the parochial authorities that cases had been submitted to Sir Fre derick Thesiger, and also to Sir Thomas Wilde, and that both those eminent legal authorities agreed in opi nion that the Prince Consort, under the circumstances which had been brought before them, although the farm was tilled and a large portion of it used for fattening the cattle of his Royal Highness, was not liable to be rated, inasmuch as the property in question belonged to the Crown. It was further stated to the parish officers that the Crown had granted no lease of the farm to the Prince Consort, and that his Royal Highness occupied the land rent free. It was also denied by Mr. Anson that the Prince had beneficially occupied the farm ; and the parish officers, it was submitted on the part of the Prince, must prove that his Royal Highness really had a beneficial occupation before they could legally recover the amount claimed by them for arrears of rates. Mr. Anson declined to furnish the parish with a copy of the case submitted to Sir Frederick Thesiger and Sir Thomas Wilde, together with their opinion thereon, in consequence of the parish, on their part, not being pro vided with a case and opinion also. It was stated, how ever, that if the parish had submitted a case to counsel, and obtained an opinion, there would have been no ob jection, on the part of the Prince Consort's advisers, to have exchanged copies of the same; but this not having been done, no copies could be furnished to the parish of the case and opinion by which his Royal Highness would be gnided in resisting the claims of the parish. It was also stated, that it was the opinion of Sir Thos. Wilde, that if the parish proceeded to extremities in enforcing the payment of the alleged arrears, and any future rates that might be made, by levying npou the property upon the farm, it would find itself in great error. A vestry meeting has been called by the parish officers to make another rate (a large sum being demanded im mediately by the guardians of the Windsor Union), when the whole of the correspondence which has passed between the legal adviser of the parish and the Princo Consort, as w e ll as th e determination which has been come to by the Prince, will be laid before the inhabitants, in order that they may decide upon their future pro ceedings in the matter. There are several persons who have not paid the last rate made as long since as September last. Summonses against the defaulters have not been applied for, it being considered advisable, before such a step was resorted to, that the intentions of the Prince Consort should be first ascertained. A Committee was appointed to take the subject of the Secretary of State's letter into consideration, and to in quire into the present state of the staff of the regiment, and the vacancies to be filled up, and to report to the next Court of Lieutenancy, to be held in tke course of the present month. The Committee consists of all the Aldermen present, together with.,Sir Moses Mentefiore, Deputies Finnes and Allan, Mr. James Anderton, Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, and Mr. D. W. Wire. There are, we are given to understand, sonic corpora tion members of the Court of Lieutenancy who, although in consequence of a remarkable physical debility they are wholly incapacitated from performing the most in significant duties, show great reluctance to resign. To those officers a remonstrance will be sent by their bre thren calling upon them to resign, and if such remon strance prove ineffectual, then immediate measures will be adopted to strike them off the list as incapable and refractory.

A THIEF OUTDONII.—SINGULAR DETECTION. --On Friday night a man went into a pawnbroker's sho p, and offered a - metal tea-pot in pledge. The broker, upon opening the lid of the tea-pot to examine it, discovered a quantity of bank notes. Neither did their appear ance escape the notice of the thief, who imme diately snatched the pot from the pawnbroker's hand, and endeavoured to make his escape, but was followed by the broker, and given into custody; and upon being taken to the police-office, there appeared to be sixteen notes of 1/. each in the teapot, which had never been observed by the prisoner until he offered it in pledge. The prisoner stated that he had stolen the article from his mother.—Caledonian Mercury. IRISH COLLIERY, IRON, AND PEAT COMPANY. A company has been formed for the purpose of working GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING AT NE WCASTLE- UPON-TYNE. The largest in-door meeting ever held in Newcastle upon-Tyne assembled on Monday evening, to receive Messrs. Cobden and Bright, as a deputation from the Anti-Corn-law League. The place selected for the ga thering was the Corn Exchange, which is capable of holding nearly 5,000 persons. Every portion of the vast area was filled, considerable numbers having arrived from Sunderland, Darlington, Shields, and the other towns in the vicinity. About seven o'clock Mr. Bright and a large body of gentlemen took up their position on the platform. Mr Cobden arrived soon afterwards, and was welcomed with loud cheers. Alderman Sir John Fife was called to the chair, and introduced Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with loud cheers. He commenced by stating that every one must be convinced that, at this moment, some great question was exciting the minds of almost the whole population of this coun try. A meeting of so many thousands could not have been assembled in Newcastle unless there were some question which the inhabitants believed to be of vital importance to themselves and the country. They ad • vocated the principle that every man shout! be at liberty to employ his industry and skill fairly, and that when he produced anything as the result of that industry and skill, he be allowed to trade in all the markets of the world without the leave or hindrance of the law. They, as manufacturers, did not ask for free trade for the benefit of Lancashire, Yorkshire, or Newcastle, but they asked for free trade for the benefit of the landowners, of the farm labourers, and of every class of the community. They wanted a fair field and no favour, that every man might make the best use for himself of the power and capacity with which God endowed him, and that no law be allowed to step in to interfere with the free working of his industry. There were two reasons why the) objected to the principles of the protectionists. The one was, that it was utterly impossible that they could be applied to every man; and the other was, that, if applied, they would be injurious to every man. There was no law or Act of Parliament to raise the price of goods in foreign countries. The cotton trade had no protection, and the system could not be applied to a trade that ex ports abroad. It was unjust to the manufacturer and workman, if the price of food was raised by law, while what they produced was allowed to remain at its natural level. The law extorts from the manufacturer part of his capital, and from the labourer part of his toil, in order that the owners of the soil might obtain more for what they sell than they have any right to. [Mr. Bright was compelled rather abruptly to conclude, owing to hoarseness. During the delivery of his address he was repeatedly and loudly applauded.] Mr. COBDEN was received with enthusiastic and pro longed cheering. When this had subsided, he said— Gentlemen, this meeting makes me almost fancy I am in the Free-trade Hall in Manchester. I think it is the largest meeting under cover that I have ever addressed out of that hall ; and although it is but a bad prepara tion for an address to such an audience as this, to have travelled two hundred miles in the cold to visit you, yet I think I must be almost an icicle if I was not warmed by such a reception as you have given me.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, you are not brought together in this manner without a pretty unanimous conviction that the time is come for a great and united demonstration to help those who are willing to put down this law, or to compel those who are unwilling to do it.—(Cheering.) And how different are our meetings to the meetings of the protec tionists! At Bury St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, they ven tured to call a public meeting, the mayor in the chair, and there—in the heart of the most purely agricultural county in the kingdom—an amendment was carried in favour of the total repeal by 20 to I.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And yet these gentlemen, when they have got together in their protection meetings, are always telling us the country is with them—that the British lion is rousing itself in all its majesty; but they take care al ways to talk when the British lion is not looking at them.—(Laughter.) The aristocracy and landowners who attend the protectionist meetings are men of mea sure—men originally of college education—men not like us, brought up in counting-houses or warehouses—but men whose whole lives have been at their disposal to gain knowledge and to cultivate their natural talents : how is it that these men stand up in the face of their fellow-countrymen and make such lamentable exhibi tions of themselves? Why, the fact is simply this— their cause is so bad that I defy the best of counsel to be able to say anything in its favour. They have only to resort to that old standing stratagem of which all have heard—l mean that resorted to by a lawyer who took a brief to counsel endorsed "No merits, please to abuse the plaintiff's attorney." Now, as they have no merits, they take care to abuse the League, which is the country's attorney in this case. They not only abuse us, but they misrepresent us. They tell the country that we have all sorts of designs in view, which I never contemplated at all events. They tell us we want to deprive the landowners of protection, and to keep protection for ourselves. Why, we have never held a meeting of the League— a great aggregate meet ing, I mean—but we have always unanimously passed a resolution, " That whilst we seek free trade in corn, we are willing and anxious that free trade should be ap plied to every description of manufacture."—(Hear.) That was our first resolution in the winter of 1838, and we have repeated that resolution every year since. And now I'll oiler them a bargain. If one of these protec tionists will only move in the House of Commons, at the beginning of the next session, for a free trade in corn, I'll get up to move, as a rider, free trade in all kinds of manufactures.—(Hear, hear.) Having made that offer to them, let us see if they will misrepresent us in future. My friend Mr. Bright has alluded briefly to the fact, that manufactures are not, and cannot be protected. A very large portion of our cotton goods is sold abroad, and goods sold abroad can have no protection from our Acts of Parliament. The very fact that we send goods abroad is a proof that we have more made than we can sell at home ; and our manufactures, therefore, cannot be protected. Well, then, all the great manufacturing interests of the kingdom are altogether unprotected, and incapable of being protected. And I would ask, if it is likely that the vast body of the industrious classes en gaged in these manufactures will ever submit to any small portion of the community being protected at our expense ?—(Loud cheers.) lam glad the protectionists have been brought to this. They cannot sustain their cause whilst they talk only of protecting themselves. They dare not face us in Parliament again on that ground ; they have been too soundly drubbed for that. Well, let us go a little further, and ask, are the people that are pro tected by their laws better off than those that are left to their unaided energy, and who have to find a market for their produce in the open world ? Who are the people in this country that are receiving the lowest wages ? Pre cisely that portion of the community for whose benefit these protection societies pretend to exist. The agri cultural labourers, who are getting 75., Bs., or 9s. as week—aye, in Hertfordshire and parts of Somersetshire, 6s. a-week. The unskilled labourers in the manufactur ing districts, who are working for Russians, Poles, Americans, and Chinese, are, as a rule, without excep. tion, getting 50 per cent. more wages than those who are at work for these protected interests.—(Applaus e .) Aye, and whilst these men are pretending to maintain this protection for the benefit of the peasantry, the pea santry are running away from their prot ec t ors, an d coming to our manufacturing districts, seeking better wages and better employment from the hands of those who have no protection; and who are making for the open markets of the world. I do not profess to be particularly democratic. I would have no objection to changes going on in this or any other country gra dually ; but positively I begin to fear that these men by their folly—their absolute silliness and stupidity— will precipitate changes faster than any man who likes ordinary movement would wish. I'll tell you why. Men are not prepared to leave their counting-houses and ware houses, and carry on the affairs of state instead of them. We have plenty that are able to do it. We have tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of men in our workshops, in our warehouses, in our counting-houses, ready, and fit, and willing to do the nation's work better than these maundering silly people do it ; but then they have other engagements on hand, and cannot do it at an hour's notice.—(Laughter and applause.) What I should like to see would be a movement amongst the wiser part of the aristocracy to save the rest. I would begin with the Dukes, for the Dukes seem to be the most infatuated class. There are the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke °filch mond, the Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Newcastle, and the Duke of Buckingham. Why, these five Dukes are enough to ruin the aris tocracy.—(Laughter.) If you had five shipowners in Newcastle so infatuated, so silly, so positively incapable as these five Dukes are, why the shipping trade would leave your port. And then the Marquises—the next in rank—seem to be just next in folly. I observe that the Marquis of Salisbury has been having a meeting in Hertfordshire, at which he talked about the League being a great unconstitutional body, which, if allowed to go on, would deprive them of all their rights, and liberties, and franchises. That was in Hertfordshire; and all this scolding i s s i m ply because the League recommend the middle and industrious classes to possess themselves of 40s. freeholds in the counties. Now directly I had read the speech of the Marquis of Salisbury, I wrote to a friend to buy me a 40s. freehold in Hertfordshire. I'll be on the list for Hertfordshire next year, and I will entreat all my friends, all good leaguers, to follow my ex ample and qualify for it. W e ' ll very soon show the Marqui s of Salisbury how easy it i s to send him back to his pr ivac y , and just leave him as much power over the representation of Hertfordshire as any man wearing a round frock upon his estate. What we have done in South Lancashire we can do in Hertford shire. What we have done in the West Riding we'll do in Buckinghamshire; and the object of our corning here to-night is to talk to you a little about this mode of setting the aristocracy in their right position, by taking political power out of their hands, and putting it into the hands of people who will use it more for the benefit of the state, and consequently, ultimately more for the benefit of these Dukes and Marquises, and their successors. I do not think that in this part of the country you are at all aware of the power that is slumbering, and of which you ought to have availed yourselves long ago. I believe there is no county which affords so many facilities for getting votes as the adjoining county of North Durham. You may qualify there for 30L ; you may even buy a freehold for 201. Any number of qualifications may be had in North Durham for 301., or from that to 36/. Bear in mind that we do not ask you to give 30/. for a vote. We only ask a man to invest 301. in a property which will bring Eleven or eight per cent. interest, instead of putting it into the Bank, or in the savings-bank, where it would bring only three or three-and-a-half per cent. interest. And bear in mind, when a man has saved his 20/., 30/, or 401., and invested it in real property, he has what is commonly called a " stake in the country," he feels that he has something to lose, ho feels that he is bound to take counsel in what he does when he gives his vote, that he won't injure his own property ; and it is by such a class of men as this that, in the enlightened state of this age, I should like to see the political power of this country wielded.—(Hear, hear.) When this 40s. freehold fran chise was created, more than five centuries ago, 40s, a Bill year of income was equal to 201. a y ea r now, bea bt o the progress of time the v a l ue o f th e p re cious metals e, been depreciated. I see that at some of the late p 1• 0,/ tion meetings they have been talking of altering lag franchise. I only say, I wish we may catch them try.„ to do this.—(Gen era l c h eer i ng .) W e 'll h a ve such ! r t c r ose for 40s. freehold s di rec tly any b o d y gets u p in the n to of Commons to propose it. We'll have every tl n st ie get a 40s. fr ee h o ld t o d e f en d t h e rest, as soon as t 01 talked of.—(Renewed applause.) We have not ri t ily 40,0001. to spend it in Manchester. We have lir oc a k. nothing to do there. Manchester, and Salford, and t o be port, and South Lancashire, require no more inupeY holt spent upon them, for no bread taxer would dare to s,, i , face to those constituencies. Our object in raising i t u il money is to get a guarantee fund, for that is v ill ee s to amounts to. We call upon the country to guarantee to us, the Council of the League, 250,0001., if wa rite , e 4 fight this battle to a successful issue. We ha d b 's, • nearly 75,0001. put down in Manchester when I ieitio terday, and we shall get the rest. We don't come ro to beg money. I would not give one per cent. to ges tk ie tee the whole sum i n our exchequer. We he irc d. guarantee fund t o s h ow to our opponents that, if 13e f e, sary, we can fight this battle for another five Y' ,9 e s tO spending 50,0001. a y ear; an d t h at wou ld e nable `: tte e plant an efficient organisation —a qualification comma , —in every district of every county in the kingl o ot (Applause.) Lord M or p e th i s wa lki ng over the ye Riding.--(Tremendous cheering.) He is walking : 0 0. after one year's re g i s t ra ti on b y t h e L eague. Our ° r b r e o nents say they do not fight it because there is to by general election soon, and then they say, th, e ,Y h o ve show us what they can do. Why, we she" "tlii two thousand more upon the register before b o 30th of January.—(Lo u d c h eers .) A n d now I s t be fa:l in my object here, if I merely show r u ct oe power you possess, if I d on 't l eave b e hind s, o g organisation —some assur ance th a t you will do th e % et e when we are gone. la m t o ld th a t there are peuPl e ; g b , from Durham, Shields, Su n d er l an d, an d a ll then B ' g o bouring places. I entreat them, when theYo home, to work. They must no t l ose a day i ll "bot vassing, for there i s nothing to be done without t . , it Canvass your neighbours —canvass everybody that 1 110 in his power to qua lify f or th e county, an d i n duce se to put his name on that muster-roll which can al°, na „, i cure his freedom.

We ar e go i ng i n t o Cumberland t. morrow—a number of our friends are at work there / ready. Then we shall visit that snug little pocket co tillmee of Lord Londsdale's--Westmoreland. In 01den,,% - of there used to be great battles there between P," 0 1 , Brougham and Lord Lonsdale, but Lord Lonschm e t beir ways beat Brougham. Both parties used to get, Le ' Al friends in other parts to qualify for the county, and t+lo LonFdale cannot complain, therefore, if we now 11 ' 1 '0 thousand voters to the register. In Lancashire , well Francis Egerton and Mr. Entwisle know right t yer how they stand on th e reg i ster . L or d F ranc is v„r t ed ton knows that it is a s i m p oss ibl e f or hi m to be el'''tlf with the present registe r , as it wou ld b e f or hip , led to the moon. Of course, then, he tells Sir Robert aii this. Sir Robert Peel knows what is going on, 9/1 ,,,, 0 influenced just as much by it as h e wou ld be ' 7 O election. I have been a year and a half workingt.or question, and I am convinced th a t thi s coun ty gat s tet tion movement is a leverage by whieh we can trap for the power of the monopolist l an dl or d s utter ly 511 ,,,00 ever into the hands of the middle an d i n d ustr i o us en ill of this country. I should despair of ever succeedi li e ve this question by anything short of a physical force tii o o lution, unless I saw in this 40s. freehold qualifiet fe the means of doing it. Thi s i s th e argument whi e l e iri are furnishing to Sir Robert Peel. If these mell ii be next session—as I predi c t th e y w ill y i e ld—it 'R' l d i ed because they know we have the power to force ' t er to yield if they attempt to procrastinate the ° t ot ment of this question. I say I have no doubt , t its they will yield next session. I don't know tb.„. 5 ,i DI shall get what we want through Sir R. Peel ; '',.," 0 .108 care whom it comes from ; get it we will.—(Dea fen applause.) If Sir R. Peel bring forward any he l .', l o half scheme, then we have a power in the Opposiw" fo te bring against him which we have never had r te .- 0 We were never a united Opposition before. I dee` ii ,,ol3 l you most solemnly, that up to within the last six 10- ,0 I have been more afraid of the Whigs than of the .I°. 00 Not that I think worse of those who are nearer 11 4 0 1 some points than of those w h o are f urt h er o ff ; but .l o ld afraid that if they propo s ed a com p rom i se, t h e re w" itt be a disposition in many parts to coincide with theteo order to keep them in power. But all that is past' ..oo' go to Parliament this next session a united OPP° 6I- 0 If Sir R. Peel does not go straight, then the soone r r og find him in a minority the better. If he does not b o or forward a full measure, he'll not live through the or sion. With two hundred men opposed to him in i t c „ l3 ' pact body, and—le av i ng myse lf out o f the qu ests" , it comprising nine-t en th s o f t h e ta l ent of the Netist;eil , is utterly impossibl e f or hi s Government to 'los through the next sess i on , unless he takes a CO id which will secure to hi m th e support of the colllUtitY this question. If Sir R. Peel proposes to abolish 111 corn and provision laws, I'll cling to him as faitbZbe until he has done his work, as I wou ld t o L o rd '',; e cr Russell, or anybody else.—(Appl ause. ) Th e Hon• vol tleman concluded his address, by briefly expressing s ,eo thanks for the cordial reception which had been W a il to him, and sat down amid s t c h eer i ng, w hi c h co ntifr for a considerable period. b y A resolution, expressive of thanks to Messrs.
