EVENING EDITION. Mr. L A BOUCHE RE was sure that the Right Hon. Gentleman had misunderstood his Noble Friend when he said that the Noble Lard bad alieged that it eras not the design of tha Government, or ins intention, to urge upnn the Danish Government, without delay, the justice and propriety of putting- an end to the existing abuses. His Noble Friend was, h evremely anxious that these representations should be made without delay. If the - Right Hun. Ge:t!ernan appeared to think tha- Leteuse these grievances n•ete of keg standing, it might be ...Ithiaable to depart from the usual c..urse and adopt an ad .lre:is to the Crown, there might be some weight in that argument if application had been made to the Danish Government, and that they had neglected or refused to at tend to it; but in justice to the Danish Government he must say that no reuresectvion had been made to it sth last year. He did net think the Government to blame in not having made tie rep etentation, because, in point of fact, their own attention ha 4 been only re cently called to it, by the remonstrances of the merchants of Great Bti!ain. He agreed with the Ri;2llt. Hon. Gar tkonan, that it was necessary t'at these rules should be revised and altered with as little delay as possible, and he had no doubt that the negetiations then going on would lead to a speedy and swlsfactory conclusion. In the ra monstrance to the Danish Goivrament, they stated that it would be desirable that these matt,rs should be brought to a conclusion hereto the opening of the nav!g ttion. Con sidering that these tolls and dues were of a some evhat corn pliated nature, the Danish Goveintrent had expresse 1 its readiness at once to make a conce,sion on some ci those points which pressed most upon the commerce of that siountry. These concessions were iax!equa . .e to the just eleniands of that country, but consideting the manner in which they had been effered, end it being stated that tl ey were not made for the purpose of interposing delay, her Majesty's Government had felt it their duty to express their sa•i_f,ction at the proposal, and to accact it. Under these circumstances, he thought his Hon. Friend would best consult the interests of the cnmmerei-•1 community, by withdrawing his motion. Mr. A. WHITE said that the subject was one of Altai irroortance to the commercal interest of that country, and they were much indebte 1 to his lion. Friend for bringing ts , subject forward, but after the statements of the Right I:Jo. Gentleman, ha thought the most judicious course would be withdraw the motion. Mr. PEASE hoped nothing would be 'tat undone by she etovernmeat to bring about the entire abolition of :hose duties. The merchant-veseli were obliged to go thruugh all sorts of obeisances by lowering their flags, &c., ;34.)re the Castle of Eisineur, which was frequently attended wlt'a great dtby and inconvenience. Another great elute a delay and embarrassment aruze from the Custom House ulT2cers requiring a detail of every article in the packages. V/ LL IE RS said he had no doubt his Hon. Friend rt,culd see the propriety of allowing the previous qoer,tion be now carried. According to what had Lean sta . ed the Right Hon. Gentleman the Pre.,ident of the Board of Trade, the concessions made by Denmark were quite nadequatc to satisfy the just demands that were made. He hoped his Hon. Friend would persevere in his thfurts to remedy the abuses complained of till he saw his views worked out. That was not a mere English question, but one in which the whole world was interekted. Other stari:ins were looking now t o what E ng l an d wou ld d o i n too matter. Those duei were a scandal to the whole world. England might as well seek to establish Channel duos on all goods that were imported into this country. Mr. HUTT repl'ed—He trusted that a quarter of a year would not pass away befire the Noble Lord would be ogle to announce to the House that he had concluded a treaty with - Denmark by which the dues would be reduced to their legal form. But in his opinion the dues might in surne way or other be abolished altogether. The previous question was than carried. PETITION OF WILLIAM BAINES Mr. EASTHOPE movrrd that the peti•ion of Wm. nairie, now a prisoner in the gaol of Leicester, yre sentrLd FeLruary 2, be printed and circulated with the Votes. Mr. A. WHITE se,xmded the motion. Lord HOWICK inquired whether the petition lied been ordered by the Comrnittee to be printed? Mr. EASTHOPE replied in the negative. It was his intention to submit a motion on Thursday next on tl:e sub ject of the petition. The pe:ition had not Leen printed, and, therefore, he thought it was only fair to the House that the petition should Lc in the hands of Members. 'Or. NICHOL—WiII the Hog. Gentlernal state the tecins of his motion ? Mr. EASTHOPE could not state the precise terms of the motion ; but it would be founded upon the content; of the petition. Lord HO WICK had tliought the Hon. Member had stated no sufficient case t.) justify the House in ordering tt e petition to be printed with the Votes. The Committee eel ice had been appointed on the subject of printing peti tialls made a strong and unanimous representation to the Ilouse that the petni ms should not be printed with the Votes except in cases where the subject was not only to ho brought under the consideration of the House, but where it was a matter of passing and urgent necessity that it should be brought in.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Mem ber had stated that the petition had not been ordered to le printed; but from anything that had beets hitherto stated it might be inferred the Committee on public petitions was not aware of the intention cf the Hon. Gentleman to bring the subject forward. If any intimaion had been given to the Committee that the subject would be subsequently brought under consideration of the House, no doubt they would have ordered it to be minted. The lion. Member had not shown that there was any particular urgency in this case, which could justify the House in departing from the rules which had been laid clown.—( Haar, hear.) It was obvious, from the number of similar notices which appeared in the Votes, that if the House did not set its face against the practice, end resist the attempt to depart from the general rule, clash Member would think his own case most important, awl would think the application of his own constituents was one which ought to bo specially at'endad to, and in that stammer, little by little, a rule would be broken which had boon found to work with great advantage.—(Hear, hear.) As no case had been made out for acceding to the motion, Ito felt bound to oppose it. The best way would be for tele Hon. Member to bring the subject under the conside retion of the Committee upon petitions, and he had no doubt that next week it would be ordered it to be printed. Mr. EASTHOPE having concluded that there could be no possible objection to the printing of the petition under the circumstances of his having given notice that ho intended on Thursday to found a motion upon it, he did not imagine that it would have been necessary to occupy the House by stating the grounds on which he moved the petition be printed. The petition contained a mere statement of the circumstances and the causes which had led to the confinement of the petitioner, and the time he had bees confined, and prayed that the House would adopt some measure for the purpose of releasing him from his confinement. On two occasions the House had declared that the cause of the petitioner's confinement ought to be removed, and he only asked that the subject should be brought before the House, In the hope that it would lead to some practical relief. hieking it would be a great severity on the petitioner to tell bins that his peti.ion should not be printed, so as to ire-et the eves of every Member of tl.e House, he stie - t press the printing of the petition, and if it was op po:cei he should divide the House upon it.—( Hear.) • 7,1 r. WARBURTON hoped the mction of his Hon. F,iend would be acceded to, for it came distinctly within the regulation which the Houseitself had laid down. He should be exceedingly jealous of restricting any further than it was already restricted, the right of de batiug on petitions; thtrefere, he did hope that the pttitinn would be printed and laid tefore tie House pre vious to the day when the debate on the merits of the petition would come on. ieeet STANLEY sail he confessed that whether the tlettee eequieseed iu the motion for printing the petition eir not, he thou g ht the p esent vas not a case in which rip uhjtet of piloting or not printing care under eon 3'dere'-iete The petition which was the subject of dit ,eussion was present e d cn t h e 2 d o f F e b ruar y, four or :tee days after tha opening cf the session, arid corn equently eon to which the attention of the Corr anitt“! . for p r i nt i n g e etitions was immediately di eeeted, yet, u p to the not pi iuted th e p ct i t i or, a t t r h elent time, they had recent date wer e °u,lihhe ethers of more i rural it . ,fer rf etefrom ce to be drawn that was, teat in tht.

Gen_ tleman ke trusted it would direct the petition to be printed witn ~ii for the use of the Members only. Mr. E AST HOP E said he had no objection to the adop tion of that course. L ABOUCH ERE said that the difficulty of which 714 e :t ;t. in the matter was, that he apprehended the rule . un. teie liewe directed that petition was to be print , le4t, is ?:ad some inditiival reterem e to a mitt in of which as Memee: had given notice. The object of the p 1 op eeemed a g oeral one. True the petitioner stated he was ievisoneu; and if his Honourable Friend contem- Pieee , l alluding in his motion to tie imprisonment a the petitioner, it was a perfectly right thing that the 1' titian should be printed, in order that the House might ixe 'That the nature cf the complaint made by the peti tieee.: wee. But if the motion was a mere general one on the subject of Church-rates, he thought that they could rot, without iateinging on the rule made in those eases, direct the printing of the eeti ion as of course. He rid think that it was of importance that they ought to adhere to whatever rules were once laid down, not only with respect to petitions on which, such as the present, cer tain feelings were entertained, but also with respect to those on which no such feelings were experienced. Mr. BROTH ER,TON raid that the rule of the Com mittee for the printing ef petitions was, that no petitions from individuals should be printed unless they complained of personal grievances. When petitions were of a gene ral nature, it was not considered necessary to erint them. Mr. BAINES said that the Hon. Member who het! just sat down declared that pet tions were not printed tin:CSS they complained of some personal grievance. Now, if imprisonment was not a personal grievance, and a very great one, too, he (Mr. Baines) knew not what was a Fer_ maul grievance. The House would hardly do justice to its own feelings if it withheld the publication of the pen_ Lion on which the motion was to be grounded ; for the real question was whether they would print the petition, and thereby obtain for thenue'Nes all the necessary information relative to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. T: DUNCONIBE concurred with the Right Hon. Gentlemen the President of the Board of Trade as to ti:e propriety of strictly adherirg to the rules laid down relative to the subject under eisees,ine ; and, in accord ance with these tales, he (Mr. D.) maintained that the petition ought to be printed. In February 1839, that !douse had come to a decision as to the necessity of adhering to the established practice with respect to the presentation of petitions that had been laid down by the Speaker. The House divided on the occasion, when there was a majority of 148 to 43 in favour of afire ing to the practice so laid down. The rule in favour of which that decision was come to, laid down that all petitions presented relating to sutjects which Hon. Members wished to bring under the considerr lion of the House, were to be printed with the Votes, on the Meaabcr giving notice when he presented the petition that odic would bring forward a motion on the subject. lie contended that unless that rule were rescinded, the lion. Member for Leicester had a right to have the petition printed. There was a general impression out of doors, that the right of presenting petitions in the House had been gradually restricted, and he thought that if they re fused to at cede to the motion they would confirm that opinion. S'r GEORGE GREY said that he did not think that the request made by the Hon. Member for Leicester was an unreasonable one. lie understood the rule of the House to be, that when a Member wished that a petition should be printed, he should pledge himself to bring for ward a specific motion founded on it on a certain day. IF the contrary were the law the sooner it were abolished the better. Mr. WARD said that the rule laid down by the Right Horn Baronet was not cmformable to the practice of the House. He had always understood that a petition was printed on the understanding that a motion regarding it was to be brought forward within fourteen days. Many restrictions were already imposed on Members presenting petitions, and he did not think that the law on the subject should be further limited. The CIIANCELLOR of the EX.CHEQUER, con fessed that he thought that in this particular ewe consi dering that the party had already suffered a more than common grievance, the petition might be printed the sanction of the Committee. He could not, how ever, conceive what was the motive for the mystery which was observed by the Hon. Member who had in troduced ti-c motion. Sir R. PEEL said that it should be remembered that dace the passing of the rule to which the Honourable Member for Finsbury had referred, a Committea had been appointed, to which the whole question of the privileges of that House and the printing of petiions and other pagers had been referred. That Committee, of which the Hon. Member for Leicester and the Hon- Member for Bridport had been members, came to a resolution that, in titer opinion, before the House ordered a petition to be printed, it should be shown not merely that the subject of such a petition would be brought under the consideration of the House, but that it, being so would not even admit of such a delay as would be oceasiorei by its being referred in the first instence to the Committee on petitions. That recommendation of ti:e Committee had not been Adopted by the House, but he thought it would be ar'rvisalA to adhere to it as much as possilla ; and that it merited their best consideration. The rule adopted by the Hance was this—that in case of all r etilions presented relative to any subject which a Mem ber wished to bring under the consideration of the House, or to be printed with the Votes, notice should be given at the time of presenting the petition, of the day on which he was to bring forward the motion. On the day, how ever, on which the Hon. Member had presented the peti tion, he had not given such notice. He had, in truth, to make a motion to meet the petition, but he presented a petition to meet a motion. It was only five weeks aft-r the Hon. Morn ber had given notice of this motion that he had moved for the printing cf the petition. Now he (Sir R. Peel) did not think that that was complying with the established rules of that House. He put out of the question alto gether the nature of the peti ion, for he thought it would be unfair of them to allow themselves to be influenced by such a consideration. He felt that they ought to adopt im partially the same rule on all occasions ; but he did not think that the Hon. Member had any reason to ask for an exemption from that rule. He was of opinion that the Hon. Gentleman should not be required to say whether his motion was to be a general or a special one; but he be, lieved he would do well to accede to the motion for print ing the petition for the use of Members only. Mr. EA STH OPE said that he had already stated, and in perfect good faith, that he intended to submit on Thursday a motion to the House grounded on the petition, and he had determined to refrain from any gone ral discussion on the question of Church-rates. Since he have given notice, he had been urged by parties interested in the question to delay its introduction till a more advanced period of the Session, while he had been urged by the friends of the petitioner to bring his specific grievance forward as soon as possible, with a view to ad vance his release. On Thursday it was his intention to bring forward the case of Mr. Baines, but he would not bring on any general discussion on the subject of Church rates. He felt that in bringing forward such a motion it was most essential that the petition should be printed, and in the hands of Members, in order that they might refer to it in the course of the discussion that was likely to arise. —( Hear, hear.) He could not help thinking that if he had made his motion without having the petition printed, there might be a just ground of complaint against him, that the substance of the petition was not generally known. He hoped, so long as he had the honour of a seat in that House, that he would never resort to any underhand means, in order to entrap it into a discussion, without giving pre vious notice of his intention. _ _ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL promised, after the explanation of the Hon. Gentleman,that no objection would be made to the motion. It now appeared that the peti tioner complained of a personal grievance, and, under the circumstances, he did not think there could be any objec tion to the motion. Lord HOWICK, after the explanation of the Hon. Member, was not disposed to press his objection ; but ho thought the Hon. Member should bave made a represen_ tation on the subject to the General Committee on Petitions. Lord STANLEY understood the motion would be to print the petition for the we of Members only. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the sugger- Con a most judicious one; and, as they now had the power of printing whatever they thought proper, it was one they oug . ht to exercise with great discretion.—(Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. Mr. BAINES then rose for leave to bring in a Bill for the better enrolment of burgesses of boroughs, di vided into wards, in England and Wales, and for altering the time for certain elections in such boroughs.—Agreed to. 'I he ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the administration of criminal justice in certain boroughs. From the state of the oppo site benches—(there was not a single Member on the Op position benches)—he did not anticipate much objection to his motion.—(Great laughter.) The Bill referred to the boroughs of Birmingham, Manchester, and Bolton, which had lately obtained a specific jurisdiction of their own; but, there being no gaols in these boroughs, it had been fouud necessary to introduce the present measure to enable these boroughs to build goals. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The East India Rum Bill, the Mutiny Bill, and the Marine Mutiny Pill, were severally read a third time. Colonel SI . HTHORP moved—Z" That an hutuble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that sho will be graciously pleased to give directions that there be laid before this House, copies of the several communications between her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Homo Dei artment and the Treasury, relative to the appointment of Mr. Vizard, as Solicitor to the Home Department, with a salary of 1,5001. a year."—Agreed to. The House then Adjourned at Twenty Minutes past Seven o'Cleek. PA.RLIAMEN TARP DIVISION S. (From the Fotcs and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, MARCH 15. DPNAGE OF LANDS BILL.

II OME CIRC UIT. —IIIA insrax r, IllAncit 16, Toe Learned Judges took their seats on the Btmeh this day at te❑ o'clock. Lord Denman sat on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Parke in the Crown Court. Last night a fire .of the most destruetv e character broke out at th Railway Terminus at the Nine Elms Station. About half-past seven o'clock a flame and smoke were first pi rcei' ed in the locomotive engine department cf C.e storehouses attached to the station, and forming the left wing of the establishment, and above which was the tower containing the clock belonging to the Company, and well known to the frequenters of this line of railway. The cry of fire was no sooner }weird than the whole of the Com p:l3's servants on the spot flew to the store-room, and adopted the most vigorous efforts to extinguish the flames, but without the smallest success, the flames appearing to burst J . :Attie with still greater fury, and it soon became ap parent, from the combustible nature of the materials ignited, that all attempts to stop the progress of the flames were hopeless. The apartment in which the fire originated was used as a store for turpentine, oil, &c., and an im mense quantity of these infiammat9ry substances was de posited in various parts of the building. Szareely a quarter of an hour elapsed from the first discovery of the tire, when the building was in a complete blaze, and burning with frightful rapidity. Every exertion nes now made on the part of the ser vants attached to the railway to get away the carriages that were preparing for departure by the mail train, which kayos London about half-past eight in the evening. They soon succeeded in removing them beyond the reach of the devouring dement, and depositing them in a place of safe ty and in such a manner that their departure at the usual hour should not be prevented, even if the whole estalAishment should be reduced to ashes ; and the ser vants of the Company exerted themselves to keep the pas sengers at a distance and out of danger. By eight o'cLck the spectacle pre.ented by the burning edifice was terrific and imposieg in the extreme. The night appeared to he turned into day, and the whole of the engine department was involved in one eatire sheet of flame. About ten minutes past eight o'clock the first engine cf the London Fire Brigade, No. 22, arrived, and almost imme diately after, No. 15, and Mr. Braidwood, the Superiu ' tendent of the Brigade. They instantly began to play upon the middle part of building. Several other engines of the brigade followed. Mr. Towlines, of the Vauxhali water works, also made his appearance, and the supply of water was most abundant. Great prai cis ',due to the Company, for t , .e active exertions of their servants, by whose exer thus tie engine were abundantly supplied with water, and enabled to play with double effect on the burning mess. Notnitbitaucing the immense quantity of water poured upon the edifice the flames soon reached the clock tower, the tiniber of which quickly ignited, and the whole toner was envelope I in sheets of flame, which ascended into the air to an immense height, and illuminated the atmosphere for miles round. At half-past eight o'cleck part cf the roof, tozether with the tenor, fell with a tre mendous crash. _ CROWN COURT. The calendar contains the names of one bundled and fourteen prisoners—an almost unprecedented number for this county. Mr. Baron PARKE, in charging the Grand Jury, observed that he regretted to see there was so great a number of prisoners for trial at the present assizes, but with one or two exceptions the eaves did not present any legal difficulty, and it would not therefore be neces sary to trouble them with any observations upon them. There was a charge against tha captain and mate of a merchant vessel, of the murder of a boy, who had been an apprentice on board the same vessel, and this case would require serious attention at their hands. There appeared to be no very distinct proof of the actual cause of the death of the deceased, but it would seem that it was in a great measure to be attributed to cold and to the want of proper clothing, and general neglect; and the Jury would have to consider whether the con duct of the captain or the mate was such as to amount to a criminal neglect, sufficient to support the indictment against them. THE CASE OF MR. SAVARD, OF SITTINGBOURNE. Mr. CHAMBERS made an application to the Court in reference to the case of the above individual, which, from his station in the county and his opulent circum stances, has caused a great deal of interest in the county. It will be remembered that a true bill was found against Mr. Savard at the Spring Assizes. 1840, for forgery ; and upon his application to postpone the trial, it was granted, and he was allowed to go at large upon his own recognizances in the sum of 1,000/., and find leg two sureties in 500/. each to appear and take his trial at the Summer Assizes. He did not appear in dis charge of these recognizances, and they were, con sequently, estreated, and the thousand pound, the ansaunt of the recognizances of the sureties, were sub sequently paid into the Exchequer. Mr. CHA➢SBEIRS having brit fly alluded to the above circumstances, informed the Court that the attorney for the prosecution had ree,eived a notice from Say.ird to the eff..et that he intended to surrender and take his trial at the present assizes, and be wished, as the wit nesses on behalf of the prosecution were now quite ready, that he should be called upon to surrender. Sward was accordingly called, but he did not answer. Mr. CHAMBERS then said he had reason to believe that there was no intention on the part of Savard to tike his trial, but that his object was to annoy the pro secutors, and put them to inconvenience. He, there fore, begged the Court would allow the witnesses to go home, and not put them to the expense of attending all the assizes. If they went away without the sanction of the Court, the defendant might come in and claim an acquittal. Mr. Baron PARKE said he would take care that justice should not be defeated in this way, and it was understood that the witnesses would not be required to attend any longer. Thomas Whitehead, who was convicted at the Sum mer Assizes in 1840, of a burglary, but upon whom judgment was respited on account of a point_ of law that was raised in his favour, was placed at the bar to hear the decision of the Judges upon it. It appeared that the prisoner was indicted for a bur glary in the dwelling -house of Elizabeth Andrews, and stealing property belonging to Jchn Andrews. In a second count the property was laid to belong to her Majesty, as it appeared that Andrews had been con victed of felony, and had consequently forfeited all claim to it. An objection was taken that although An drews had been convicted of felony the house should have been charged as his dwelling-house, and that also, as no inquisition had been taken, the property was not legally vested in the Crown, and that the second count of the indictment, therefore, could not be sustained.. Mr. Baron PARKE said that the Judges had con sidered the points that were raised, and they had de cided that the first count of the indictment could not be sustained, but that the second count was properly laid, and the conviction must therefore stand. Ho then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for two years. FORGERY UPON THE BANK OP ENGLAND.—John Kelly, aged 41, described in the calendar as a cattle dealer, was indicted for feloniously uttering a 51. note, purporting to be of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of that Corpo ration. Mr. Adolphus, with Mr. Bullock, conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. A number of witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that, on the 7th of November, the prisoner went to the yard of a livery-stable keeper in Whitechapel, named Croft, and said that he should want a horse and chaise the next day to go to Wind sor, and that be should not be back for two days. The prisoner and another man, ac cordingly set off with the horse and chaise, and it appeared that on the morning of the same day the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Neal, a linen-draper at Tonbridge Wells, and purchased some silk handkerchiefs,,which camp to eleven shillings, and he tendered in payment a note, apparently of the Bank of England, for 51., and three sovereigns and two half so vereigns were given him, and Mr. Neal went out for the purpose of getting the remainder of the change, and shortly after he had left the shop the prisoner said he would have two more handkerchiefs instead of the remaining change, and he took up two, and was about to leave the shop, when Mr. Neal met him, and told him he suspected the note was not genuine, and the pri soner then gave him back the money and the handker chiefs. The prisoner afterwards, accompanied by Mr. Neal, went to the Tonbridge Wells Bank, and the note was discovered to be forged, and the prisoner made a snatch at it and attempted to destroy it. While the prisoner was under examination he made a second snatch at the note and tried to swallow it, and would have swallowed it but that the officer seized his throat and compelled him to spit it out. Upon the prisoner being searched seventeen sove reigns and twenty-five shillings in silver were found in his possession, and while he was in the custody of the constab:e at Tonbridge Wells he offered to give him a hundred pounds if ho would allow him to escape, and be afterwards attempted by violence to get away from him. A publican named Waters was also called to prove that on the same day the note was presented to Mr. Neal the prisoner passed another forged note to him. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. ADOLPHUS said there was a second indictment of a airnilar character against the prisoner, but probably his Lordship would not think it necessary to proceed with it. . . The efforts of Mr. Braidwood were now principally directed to the preservation of the carriage department, a building separated by a few feet from the store-rooms. and forming the left wing of the front of the station, in which much valuable property, belonging both to pascengers and the Company, was deposited, and fortunately the efforts of the firemen to prevent the flames extending to this build ing were attended with complete success. The next object was to confine the fire, if possible, to the part of the edifice where it originated, and to prevent the ignition of the building used by the engineers for mending and reiAiring the engines and machinery when out of order, and in which there was much valuable pre pay belonging to the Company. It being, however, a continuation of the same range of building, and separated only by a party-wall, the progress of the flames could not be arrested, and the whole of the engine department, in defiance of the utmost exertions of the fire brigade, was soon in flames. The rapidity with which they spread on every side prevented the Company's servants from even httempting to remove the machinery and other property deposited here. The number of engines which are de stroyed could not be distinctly ascertained. We ob served, too, a tender and a quantity of iron machinery red hot. The whole will, of course, be completely destroyed. The iron turning lathes alone are valued at 5,000/. The building adjoining this, and forming a part of the same range as that where the fire commenced, was the engine shed. It was separated from the other by a strong party wall. The fire, which till about nine o'clock had conti nued extending itself with unabated fury, by the exertions of the firemen appeared somewhat subdued, which seemed to encourage the men to increased exertion. The engine shed was declared to be safe about a quarter past nine o'clock, and by half past nine the fire was got completely under, and no further danger was apprehended. It is estimated that the property destroyed cannot ex ceed 50 0001. It is probably under than over that amount. The fire originated in the following manner:—lt was suspected by the men who have charge of the stores that the casks of turpentine and oil were leaking, and men tioning this to the storekeeper, they todk a light and went together to examine the casks. In doing so, the lamp, or a spark, fell upon the turpentine, which ignited in an instant, and defied all the exertions of the store keepers to extinguish it. The brewery of Farren and Till, on the Battersea side, was at one period in great danger, but it etc aped by Mr. Braidwocd taking his men to that aide. We have heard of no accident whatever. _ The fire %las visible at a great distance from town, and the fall of the clock tower was distinctly seen by two gentlemen midway between London and Windsor. An express engine was sent off after the commencement of the firs, and also when the danger had subsided. Pas sengers by the line will not be incommoded in the least, nor will there be any stoppage or irregularity in the de parture of the trains, which will leave the station at the usual hours. Indeed, even while the fire was raging with the greatest fury, while one party cf the Company's er vants were direc'ing their attention to assist in extinguish ing it, another party were actively employed in getting out the mail trek, which left town at the usual hour. The fire was vi ible over the greater part of the metro poli!, and thousands con,gregated around the station, but owing to the exertions of a strong body of the police, they were effectually excluded from the intcr:or, by which means the operations of the fire brigade were unattended by the inconveniences which they usually experience on such oc casions. We apprehend the property is insured. Mr. Baron PARKE intimated that it was not neces• Baty to proceed any further. The prisoner was then called up for judgment, anc sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. NORTDERN CIRCUIT—Yang, 1114.acm 15. Alexander Macdonald was indicted for cutting and wound-. big James Riley, with intent to murder or do him some gr:o- VOtil bodily barn]. The prisoner and the prouccutor lodged together. On the cVening in Vestion the prisoner came home rather intoxi cated, and wont tip into the sleeping apartment.

The prisoner, after giving the blow, went and lay down on his own bed. He was taken into custody, and in his pocket was found a large clasp-knife, with which it would , seem the wound had been inflicted. The prosecutor was for twenty-four hours in the utmost danger from loss of blood, Nv hich gushed from the wound at every inspiration, and for some weeks afterwards was in a very dangerous condition. He is still in a very weak state, and in all probability will never wholly recover. Evidence was given of previous declarations by the prisoner showing an old grudge against Riley. It appeared that on a former occasion they had quarrelled in consequence of the prosecutor expostulating with him for ill-treating his mother. " I told him," said Riley (in the figurative language so pecu liar to his country), " 1 told him not to q uarrel with her, for the breath o f a mother was sweet ; ho would never know how sweet it was until, like me, lie had not one." The prisoner, who is but eighteen years of age, was found Guilty ; and his Lord.lip, after commenting on the exiorritity of his offehae, sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years. thanes Daw son , J o h n Morton, and TVilliam Barr ' w ere in dicted for th e mans l aug ht er of Felix Ghaloghy, at Sheffield, in Augast The pri soner D awson was , appeared, ii fellow , workman of the &ceased, and ifi cntiseqttence of O. quarrel which arose be tween them, they resolved to settle their differences by a fight. They immediately proceeded into a field a short distance from Sheffield, stripped, and fought. Da w s on was led home, bein g then quite blind. Ghaloghy wad eddied to the Infirmary, and died very shady after. His death was occasioned by extrava liatihn of blood on the brain, arising, in the opinion of the surgeon, from blows on the head, and facilitated by his being a hard liver, of which the post mortem examination of the body gave complete testimony. The figlit was conductedwhit perfect rairness. It appeared that Gha oghy had been the party who originated it, and that he was a skilful pugilist and a very quarrelsome character. His Lordship said that even consent did not necessarily ne gative the averment of an assault. There were two classes of eves of a peculiar kind which might be quoted in illustration. But in this ease the parties met in heat of blood, and in con sequence of a quarrel. If it had bun otherwise, indeed, and this had been what was called an amicable contest, a fight in cold blood, death ensuing, would have amounted to murder.

The prisoners were f o und Guilty, and 'sentenced to pay a fine of one shilling each, his Lordship saying he passed this lenient sentence on the ground that this was not an aggravated case, and he thought them sufficiently punished by the long period of imprisonment they had already undergone.

These, however, were not sufficient to cause death, nor to have prcduced the complaint of whi , th the child actually died, viz., inflammation of the lungs. Under these circumstances the Jury acquitted the elder pri soner, and found John White guilty of an assault. His LORDSHIP, in pining - sentence, said it was a very ag gravated case.—To be imprisoned one year. George Reany was indicted for the manslaughter of George Belk. On the morning of Sunday, the 24th of January , ab out half-past twelve o'clock, the prisoner's neighbours heard a noise in his house, as of a scuffle, and his name was repeatedly called out, as if by some one in pain and terror. About one &clock, however, the watchman going his rounds found a man lyingon the footpath, and on examination he was found to be dead and stiffening. On examination, marks of violence were found about his throat. The next day the prisoner sur rendered himself, and said that he came home about half-past twelve o'clock, and found his door ajar. Ho heard the voice of a man within, and his wife saying, " Give over, my husband will be coming." - He rushed into the room. It was dark, but he seized hold of a man, and a fierce struggle took place between them. His opponent he found was too strong for him, but he finally got hold of his neck cloth, in which he twisted his left hand, and beat him with his other fist. They fell over a card-table, which was broken in the fall, and the party ceased to move. Life proved to be extinct. According to the testimony of the medical man, there were marks of great violence on the throat, the integuments being discoloured throughout to the very spine. The party, how ever, had a disease of the heart, which m►ght cause any agita tion or struggle to produce fatal results without any great de gree of violence. tie was, notwithstanding, of opinion that it was the compression of the throat, which in this case had acted upon the brain, the compression on which in its turn caused a cessation of the action of the heart. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--.STAFFORD, Menem 15. THE QUEEN V. CALDECOTT AND WYNN. This was an indictment against the defendants, as proprie tor and publisher of the Staffordshire Examiner, for a libel, which the indictment alleged was published with an intent to excite divers persons to assault Lord Ingestre and others. There were other counts charging the intent to be to excite a breach of the peace, &e. Mr. Sergeant TA LF01111.13, in opening the case to the Jury, stated that the libel set out in the indictment appeared in the Staffordshire Examiner of the Ist of August, 1840, and re ferred to the Conservative dinner which it was at that time intended should take place on the 7th of the same month, and which did take place accordingly at Bilston, at which dinner Lord Ingestre and a large number of Conservatives were present. The libel complained of was as follows : —" With regard to the Bilston dinner, its object is, no doubt, to display to the astonished eyes of the people of that town the wonderful intimacy subsisting between Lord In gestre and Mr. Baldwin, who will, we dare say, hobnob at each other with astonishing cordiality. We hope our friends will do nothing to disturb the equanimity of Mr. Baldwin's disposition, or to detract from his gratifying anticipations of a di .play so calculated to enhance his importance in the eyes of his neighbours. If, however, they should by any chance meet the man-starving Ingestre next Fi iday, as he sneaks into the town by some back way ; if, we say, they should by any chance meet him, let them peacefully, and with due regard to the fact that the Tories are very apt at swearing in special consta bles ; let them, we say, peacefully, if not quietly, mark their disapprobation of the conduct of a man who assisted in Parliament to cry down Mr. Villiers, and all those who tried to plead for more food for the starving artisans of Bilston. Let them at such a time bear in mind that Ingestre is going to gorge the bread he denied to them, and that, as he has more of it than he wants, his ap petite may require a sharpener." The dinner took place in a large enclosed market-place at Bilston, within which a large marquee was pitched for the purpose. In the evening of the day, before the whole of the company had separated, the mob broke through the gates of the market-place, and several of the party were violently assaulted. The publication and proprietorship of the newspaper having been proved in the usual way, and evidence of the riot adduced, Sergeant Ludlow and Mr. C. Phillips addressed the Jury for the defendants. Mr. Baron GURNEY left it to the Jury to say whether they thought the intention of the writer of the article complained of was to incite the people at Bilston to a breach of the peace. The Jury, after more than an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced Wynn, the proprietor, to pay a fine of 50!. and Caldicott, the publisher, of 20!. to the Queen, and to be imprisoned till the fines were paid. The fines were immediately paid, and the parties discharged. Mr. Baron GURNEY concluded the business on the civil side this afternoon. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE has been engaged during the whole day in trying three eases of rape. In the first case seven men were convicted of an assault only upon the prosecu trix, in the streets of Wolverhampton, and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment each. In the two latter cases the prisoners were found guilty of the charge ; and Mr.. Jus tice Coleridge, after ordering sentence of death to be recorded against them, intimated that they would undoubtedly be trans ported for life, and stated his fixed intention, since the crime, appears (especially in this county) to be so greatly on the in crease, in all cases to inflict the severest secondary punish ment, in the hope that the certainty of the punishment might assist the experiment making of ceasing to carry into effect the extreme penalty which the law imposes for this crime. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Tuesday William Osman was brought before Mr. 'NAIL', for re-examination, charged with stealing 1001., the property of Mrs. Field, landlady of the Three Compasses, in Bankside. It appeared that the prisoner had taken lodgings at the house of the complainant, and absconded some days ago, after break ing open a box in her room, in which was deposited two bags, containing sovereigns and silver to the amount of 100/. The prisoner was afterwards traced to Worcester, where he was afterwards taken into custody, and in his box was discovered one of the bags divested of its contents, but which was dis tinctly identified by the complainant's niece, who was in the habit of using it at her aunt's house. There was also found a gold watch, which was purchased with the produce of the plunder. Immediately after the prisoner absconded he went to Hull, from thence to Liverpool, and on to Dublin, and then crossed to Glasgow, and in the course of his travelling spent a con'iderable sum of the stolen money. As there was no money found in the prisoner's possession when taken into custody he endeavoured to induce a belief that he had remittances from his brother ; but when the latter came to be examined on that point there was such a palpable contradiction between him and the prisoner, that the Magistrate decided on committing the latter for trial. THE FALLS OF THE NIAGARA. The Falls of the Niagara afford a magnificent ex ample of the progressive excavation of a deep valley in a solid rock. That river flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, the former lake being 330 feet above the latter, and the distance between them being 32 miles. On flowing out of the upper lake the river is almost on a level with its hanks, so that if it should rise perpendi cularly eight or ten feet, it would lay under water the adjacent flat country of Upper Canada on the west, and of the state of New York on the east. The river, where it issues, is about three-quarters of a mile in width. Before reaching the Falls it is propelled with great rapidity, being a mile broad, about 25 feet deep, and having a descent of 50 feet in half a mile. An island at the very verge of the cataract divides it into two sheets of water ; one of there, called the Horse shce Fall, is 600 yards wide, and 158 feet perpendicular ; the other, called the American Falls, is about 200 yards in width, and 164 feet in height. The breadth of the is land is about 500 yards. This great sheet of water is pre cipitated over a ledge of hard limestone, in horizontal strata, below which is a somewhat greater thickness of soft shale, which decays and crumbles away more ra. pidly, so that the calcareous rock forms en overhang ing mass, projecting forty feet or more above the hol low space below. The blasts of wind, charged with spray, which rise out of the pool into which this enor mous cascade is projected, strike against the shale beds, so that their disintegration is constant. They also waste away at certain seasons by the expansive act'on of frost. The superincumbent limestone being thus left without a foundation, falls from time to time in rocky masses. When these enormous fragments de scend, a shock is felt at Jame distance, accompanied by a noise like a distant clap of thunder. Alter the river has passed over the Falls, its character, observes Captain Hall, is immediately and completely changed. It then runs furiously along the bottom of a deep •wall skied valley, or huge trench, which has been cut into the horizontal strata by the continued action of the stream during the lapse of ages. The Led of the river here is strewed over with huge fragments of rock ; the t.l fis on both siees are in most places perpendicular, and the ravine is only perceived on approaching the edge of the precipice. The waters, which expand at the Falls, where they arc divided by the island, are contracted again, after their union, into a stream not more than 160 yards broad. It is remarkable that the water of the pool into which the cataract is precipitated, and that of the narrow channel immediately below, instead of being in a state of tremendous agitation, is so tran quil as to allow a ferry-boat to cross with case, and even to approach within the reach of the spray, without experiencing any unusual motion. Various explanations have Lem offered of this phenomenon. According to Mr. Gibson, tho vast body of sea-green water, instead of plunging deep, as a solid column lightlyom f brokenr.theß would do, into the sheet below, is drawn out in its de is by scent of 160 feet into white rolls of- attentlated foam. fle conceives, therefore, that most of the water falls ib n .aßyl i t ,: h ti h e form e \v.h debrise of spray, twhhei cFh l,andFalls wimmediatelyet i r i e e f v o of i r st e ed a itn tb tlehBer2e9sf foot who had livecdvv:4l3l'yjetianrs.'inhtehaatscpearsttaiontectlhefrocmou had been the first 'natrpye,rasnocnl the Falls o„,i settler there, that during that period yards, in consequence Canada side had receded 40 or 50 the shale, and : t rice of the continued removal of It secuaser(iltug. of the limestone, above de scribed.rate of recession of the .rltlito speculate on tae future height of the precipice may' Falls, for as they retreat the by the varying hardnoas oth'' reduced or augmented rocks, the division of the stream by islands, and other In"if Y i ng c i rcumstances. If in the course of many thousand should reach Lake Erie, 25 miles s a Jeers th e F a ll s distant might be effectually drained, inasinucilas the present that lake height of the Falls far exceeds the greatest de ti of l the lake. It has been supposed that in thi s case the l e sudden escape of the water m i ght occasion a del uge on the low lands bordering Ontario ; but in r e pl y , a ir. Del Beebe has objected, that as the bottom of L a k e Erie shelves very gently from the shore, the discharge, e ven after the cataract had receded to the lake, would take place gradually, and it would require time before the river channel was cut back to where the water is deepest. It may also be questioned whether the entire area of Lake Erie may not be converted into dry land ' before the falls recede to its shores, so shallow is this lake, its average depth being only 10 or 12 fathoms, and so fast is it filling up with sediment. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, after the night charges had been disposed of, Mr. Joseph Clarke, a surgeon in good practice, and residing in Park-street, Camden-town, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, by Inspector Aggs of the S divi sion, on the charge of having committed a rape upon Mrs. Mary Ann Hall, whom he had been professionally attending. The prosecutrix and her husband appeared at the Court on the previous day, when the particulars of the outrage were communicated to the Magistrate, who upon hearing the facts granted a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension. It was placed in the hands of the inspector, and at four o'clock in the afternoon the prisoner was brought up, but being then unpre pared with any legal adviser the care was, at his request, post poned, and an application to be allowed to put in bail for his being forthcoming in the morning being refused, he remained in cus tody, and was locked up in the station-house for the night. Mrs. Hall, who is the wife of a compositor in the employ ment of Mr. Reynell, stated that, under pretence of inquiring about the state of her health, which had been delicate for some days, the prisoner took several indecent liberties with her, and ultimately succeeded, in spite of the resistance she offered, in committing the capital offence with which she charged him. (The evidence is unfit for publication. ) William Hall, the husband of prosecutrix, said—l am a let ter-press printer, in the employ of Mr. Reynell, near Golden square. The first time I heard of any improper conduct to wards my wife on the part of the prisoner was on Thursday last. I went home about dinner time, and found on the table a note from my wife, addressed to " Mr. Clarke." My wife was then absent. I broke the seal, and having read the note, asked my wife, when she returned, what it meant ; but she seemed ashamed and afraid, and did not inform me. I went to my work, and in the evening called upon Mr. Clarke •to demand an explanation, at the same time putting the note into his hand. He read it, and said ;he was astonished and confounded , but I was not to alarm my self, as he was not aware that he had said anything to give of- fence ; and that he had done no more than his professional duties warranted him in doing—examining and talking to my wife. I told him I could get no information from her, and that I was much dissatisfied, when he said to me, " My dear sir, don't alarm yourself, I assure you nothing has occurred ; I'll tell you what I'll do if it will satisfy your mind—l will write an'open note and give it to you to give, to your wife." He wrote one, which he gave me, and on my getting home I showed it to Mrs. Hall. She read it, but then refused to give me further information about the matter; and although I begged and insisted upon her letting me know all,, she would not satisfy me until Friday night. On that evening Mr. Clarke called at my house, saying he wanted to speak to me particularly ; he came into my room, my wife being in bed in the next apartment; he begged of me to reconcile myself, repeating that nothing wrong had taken place, and that he had had no sleep for the last two nights. I told him that I felt e4ent that some violence had been offered to my wife, al id not get from her the particulars, and that I -ehended. He seemed dreadfully alarmed, "a's sake don't think of any such man." I told him I wife, and de-ired " Oh ! I can't -lass of COI.. though 1 would have him ap e . and said . " For God Almig.. proceeding, for I'm an innoce... believed he had committed a rape upon him to get out of my houtv., when he said, leave," and sitting down on the sofa he called for a b_ water; he appeared to be fainting, I Kaye hint sorn., water, and he presently said, "If I go on my knees to both of you, will that satisfy you?" He Odd he would make an oath, arid swore several times by God Almighty that he had done nothing which he could not, as a medical man, justify. He then forced his hand into mine, saying " Do shake hands with me, for I know you'll be reconciled to-morrow morning." Witness concluded by stating, that after the prisoner was gone he learnt from his wife the whole of the affair, and that he subsequently had an interview at the station-house with the Inspector. On Monday morning the warrant was applied for, and on the came afternoon the pri sOner Was apprehended. Inspector Agga deposed that he apprehended the prisoner at his own house upon the warrant. They came away in a cab toge ther, and on the road prisoner said " I attended the woman for only a few days," and he was going on farther; witness stopped him by telling hi in that it was a very serious charge, and that he had better not then say anything more about it. He replied, " Very well ; I'm much obliged to you ;" and after some conversation upon other subjects, he said, " I'm a married man, and have children, and, thank God, I have never broken my bridal vow I" I begged of hlm not to say anything more to me, for I should be compelled, when sworn before the Magistrate, to state all that transpired between us. Air. lIARLINSON was of epinion that he should, taking all matters into consideration, be justified in accepting bail, iho prisoner in 5001., and twosureties in 2001. each, for his appear ance to take his trial for the offence. The prisoner wa s conveyed to the station-house, where he will remain until 'I hursday, on which day the depositions, which are very voluminou4, will be read over, and he (prisoner) will then be committed. The investigation occupied three hours. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETrE DOWNING-STREE l, MARCH TG, 1841.

(From the London New Price Current of March 16.) SUGAR.—The dulness in the British Plantation market has further increased, and the demand has been extremely limited for all qualities ; indeed, so trifling have been the transac tions, not 100 blids and tierces having been dispesed of during the three market days, that it is difficult to quote prices, and they must be regar d e d as ' nom i n al, the few boards of ugar sold however exhibit a reduction on former rates of 2s to 3s per ewt; the merchants however do not appear disposed to submit to a d. cline equal to that which has taken place of late for Bengal and Mauritius. To-day extreme heaviness prevailed in the West India market, and so trivial were purchases that they are not worth enumerating; prices cannot be quoted with accuracy. The total stock of all sorts subject to the 24s duty is new 17,000 tons, being 3,200 tons more than last year at this time. lIEFIN F.D.—ln Refined Goods the decline since our last re port amounts to Is per cwt.

This afternoon there was no public sale of Bengal, and none is advertised ; privately, however, there was rather more in quiry, and some parcels were disposed of at former rates, still the demand was not general. Foam sr.—For brown Brazil rather higher rates have been paid. Bahia, mistly brown, at 22s 6d. White at the previous value.
