MO SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS NING EDITION 711031 THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—We have elsewhere inserted a copy of a letter from Commodore Napier to Admiral Stop ford. On the supposition that Sir Robert Stopford made the speech attributed to him, we are at a loss to under stand what he means by saying that Commodore Napier arrogated to himself the whole credit of the Syrian cam paign. It is praise enough for any officer in command, that he conducted operations in which the most splendid results were obtained by slender means. It cannot, surely, detract from the merit of a leader, that the officers and men under his command behaved with the utmost gal lantry, and Sir Charles Napier would only prove himself an arrant fool were he to refuse this justice to them. Does Admiral Stopford mean to say that Commodore Napier has taken credit to himself for actions of which the merit is due to others, or that he has withheld from meritorious officers the praise to which they were entitled ? The Commodore is the last man whom we should sus pect of any such meanness. Such conduct is, indeed, foreign to the nature of a gallant and spirited officer like Commodore Napier. A pedant of antiquity thought he detracted from the fame of Alexander and Julius Caesar, by observing that they could not have gained victories without armies. Does any one suppose, like this pedant, that Sir Charles Napier loses in reputation, because he could not, by his own unaided personal exertions, have routed the Egyptians ? But although we can see no ground for supposinc , Sir Charles Napier so foolish as to attribute to himself alone results which he could only obtain through the able man mer in which he was seconded, we think we can see in these murmurings of Admiral Stopford, the outbreakings of a jealousy which it would have been more to his ho nour to have suppressed. Age has its weaknesses, and one of the usual weaknesses of acre is excessive caution. We have no wish to go into the history of what prece ded the taking of Acre ; but we believe it is no secret, that if the nature of the undertaking had not been more correctly appreciated by others than by Sir Robert Stopford, our navy would have been unable to boast of one of the most wonderful achievements of modern times. T I NIES. —Generally . speakine, the declarations of the present Government are to be interpreted' in a sense exactly the oppo site of what their language would seem to convey. Thus, among the various tokens of frankpledge whereby they have bound themselves to give suit and service to Radicalism, in acknowledgment of the dependent and conditional tenure under which their offices are held, it will be found that their ready submission to those exactions has always been in precise pro portion to the violence with which they had previously opposed them. Thus, at the last general election, when the Whigs lousily professed to denounce the Papineau faction in Canada, then bordering en rebellion, they positively prohibited a mode rate supporter of theirs from contesting the city of Bath, for fear of endangering the election of Mr. Roebuck, the paid agent of the Papineau faction. Thus, at the same period, while busily preparing to despatch a large rein for,:ement of troops for the purpose of suppressing an antici pated insurrection, several of the Ministers actually voted at the Middlesex poll in favour of that noted patriot Mr. Hume, who had done everything in his power to stimulate the Cana dians " to throw off the baleful domination of the mother country." Thus, too, Lord Melbourne proclaimed to the House of Peers that any proposal to alter the Corn-laws would be " absolute insanity ; ' and yet, a few months afterwards, his Lordship proposes the very alteration which he had so empha tically condemned. Thus, again, Lord John Russell addresses a letter to the electors of Stroud expressive of his hostility to secret voting, and of his determined adherence to the Reform Act as a final settlement of the franchise ; but, not content with making the Ballot an open question, almost at the next Cabi net meetir,g thereafter, the wayward Lord commences the pre sent Session of Parliament by insisting that the Represen • tation of Ireland shall be handed over to a new constitu ency of five-pounders, and that henceforth the rate-pay ing clauses in the English Reform Bill shall be vir tually reduced to a nullity. With such proofs, therefore, of the very accommodating and ambiguous character of Whig- Radical professions, we are anything but surprised to find that Mr. Ingham of South Shields, anxious that the success of Sir R. Peel's motion shall, if possible, be realised in a form some what different from that which certain calculators have counted on, has once more arrayed his self-importance on the side of his fellow-shuffiers in office ; and in so doing has publicly hung a millstone about his neck, which, with all his fancied buoyancy, must eventually sink him. This miniature com pound of twaddle and tergiversation, albeit generally passing fsr an agreeable little fellow, has certainly attracted a larger share of public contempt than gentlemen of his calibre can usually contrive to earn. Perha;:s, with a juster estimate of his own weight than of the supposed equipoise of parties in the approaching division, Mr. Ingham covets the distinction of being the eccentric atom who , e defection from the Conserva tive mass is meant to be the arbiter of Ministerial preponde rance—the almost impalpable dust that gives a hair's-breadth turn to the scale. HER. LD. —We had no opportunity, yesterday, from the press of various matter, to claim, especially, the attention of the pub! c to a very remarkable Parliamentary Paper, which we published in yesterday's Herald, entitled " An Account of Money received from the Trustees of Savings Banks by the CoMmissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, 'erre." The results exhibited by this paper, astonishing as they are in themselves, are enhanced in political importance and pre sent interest by the ill-advised allusions occurring in the debate on the Chancellor of the Exchequer's memorable " budget," to what measures it " might be" his decision—or rather his alter native to resort, in relation to the deposits of these savings banks. We feel all the delicacy—we might almost say the inexpedieney—of dealing with a question which turns on an hypothesis that was announced by the Right Hon. Gen tleman himself as one nut likely to be resorted to ; or resorted to only under the pressure of an inevitable extremity. We are fully inc tiled to believe that the Right Hon. Gentleman did not, and does not, seriously contemplate any temporary appro priation from the funds of these banks, in the hands of the Government, towards making good that deficiency of the pub lic income which has been now silently, but rapidly, growing upon us during the last three or four years. So far, therefore, as our own opinions go, we are happy to express our disbelief that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will avail himself of a re source, to which he could apply only in the face of those con stitutional and political consequences, the peril of which was forcibly pressed upon him in the debate alluded to by Mr. Her ries. A correspondent, who addresses us under very great ap prehensions on this subject, asks us by what authority the Chancellor of the Exchequer can take the vast sum declared to be due to the trustees of savings banks on the 20th November last (26,000,0001. and upwards), or any part of it, cut or the hands of the Commissioners; whether these latter do not hold such moneys on trust for the depositors; whether these moneys could be 'legally taken up on loan, without their consent, &c. We fear that the short answer to most of these questions is. to remind our correspondent of Blackstone's de finition of the functions of Parliament, and of his much dis puted doctrine, after Sir Edward Coke, of its omnipotence. Besides, our correspondent's reasoning on the contingency of any Government which should venture on the exercise of so enormous a power as this species of appropriation would be, " a power which it would be wrong to trust to any Minister" (according to the admission of Mr . Baring himself), obtaining subsequently a Bill of Indemnity, is almost sufficient tosdeter mine his own doubts. They would be reluctant, indeed, to challenge a release which Parliament would be so little likely to grant them. OST.—There cannot be greater effrontery of misrepre sentation than that which seeks to excuse the present Ministe rial tenacity of office on the ground of precedent. It is said that. Mr. Pitt, in 1784, and Sir Robert Peel, in 1835, acted as the present Ministers are acting. This is not true. There is no such simitiarity in the cases as can justify the assertion. In 1784 and in 1835 the newly-appointed Ministers were on trial before the public. They did not persist in holding office after having lost that confidence of the House of Com mons which was requisite in order to carry the measures which they deemed essential to the public welfare. They were at the commencement of their career, and they were bound in duty to the respective Sovereigns who had appointed them, to wait for a short time, in the hope of bringing over the House of Commons to their views. Mr. Pitt succeeded in this, and was enabled to Continue in office. Sir R. Peel, having called a new Par liament before he met the House as Minister, and finding after a short time that there was no probability that he could carry in the House of Commons measures which he deemed essen tial to the public welfare, resigned his office. He only waited as long as it was necessary for a new Minister to wait, in order to ascertain whether he could carry on the business with which it had pleased the Sovereign to entrust him, or not. The dif ference between the case of a new Administration seeking to establish itself in the confidence of the House of Commons, and an Administration of some years' standing which has gradually lost the confidence of that House, is palpable and most important. The one case is that of a reasonable attempt to justify the Sovereign's choice in the eyes of Parliament, and of the public. The other is an impudent attempt to hold office in contempt of the judgment to which Parliament has deliberately and after long experience come. It is also a reckless disregard of the public welfare for Ministers, rather than sacrifice their places, to abandon the ad vocacy of measures which they declare to be of essential im portance to the public welfare. and adopt other measures which they had stigmatized as injurious. Did Mr. Pitt offer at any time to accept the India Bill of Mr. Fox, because the first proposition of his own was rejected by the House of Commons ? Did Sir R. Peel offer to appropriate the revenues of the Church in Ireland to secular purposes, because the Op position carried a resolution that they ought so to be appro priated? No; neither of these Ministers sought to remain an office upon such terms. But the present Ministers, after having attacked the duties on foreign sugar as impolitic— after having drawn very frightful pictures of the distress of the people in some districts—and after venturing to ascribe these distresses to the existing duties on sugar, have come forward to propose these very duties, because they have so far lost the con fi - fence of the House of Commons that they cannot carry in that House the r ew scale of duties which they proposed. The question now before the country is one of plain, practical uti lity, and so Sir R. Peel has very proeerly put it to the consi deration of the House of Commons. GLOBE.--;-:If the Tories cannot contrive to get up Pro- Corn-law meetings, they can at least garble the reports of the meetings which take place, and which . they intended should have been Pro-Corn-law meeting., They can 'disfigure the offspring of Liberalism, " like gypsies— to makeit pass for their own." We extract the follow ing specimen from last night's Standard : " TAIE CORN-LAW MOVEMENT.—The counties of Roe common and Galway have met for the purpose of record ing their prbtest against the ministerial fixed duty scheme. he Galway meeting was presided over by the Roman Catholic High Sheriff of the county, and his con duct throughout is described as being above all praise." This paragraph is intended to convey to the Stan dard's readers, that meetings protesting against " the Ministerial fixed duty scheme," having actually been bell in the above two counties ; and that even a Roman Catholic High Sheriff has headed the " Protestants." This would have been a godsend to the Stan dard's party, - it it had taken place ; and the mere fact that it did not, is not permitted to deprive them of its benefit. What are we to think of the state of a party whose pious organs (doubt less with great violence to their well-known con scientious veracity) are capable of publishing the above quoted paragraph respecting meetings, at one of which (the Galway meeting) the following resolutions were carried by a vast majority : " That we consider the present fluctuating scale of duties on foreign grain objectionable, as it has been found, by experience, to cause great uncertainty of prices, and to enable mischievous speculators and mono polists to enjoy the profits which should belong to the producer ; and that we therefore approve of the principle of . a fixed prote c ti ve d u t y , now propose d b y her Majes- Ws Government, without pledging ourselves to the ardemit . Cf:diity suggested as an adequate protection. T) l 4t Nve feet bound to express, not only our confi dinenacna:vinsl947"feinntiei:al policy of the Government, but also, fits cotiGi6d" lay n t z e r ir , o s i y ir ste gr in a o ti i tyde for the many bene administration in this country." • At the Roscommon meeting a resolution was carried for embodying the sense of the meeting in the form of a pe tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour or the Ministerial proposition in regard to corn, - which was signed by the High Sheriff on the part of tb,e meeting. The indignant reader will naturally ask wh at possible p retext the Tory organ could have for falsifying the ref ort of two county meetings. The Duke of Wellington's old opinion that county meetings are a farce will scarce justify it. That TOry veracity is a farce is a conclusion which many may come to, when they find a journal which piques itself on high sanctity practising such low artifice. . STANDARD.—The pressure of political affairs upon our attention, and the difficulty in the present excited state of the public mind, of drawing attention to any but the one absorbing topic,. have hitherto prevented us from noticing, with the reprobation it deserves, the whole sale murder of no fewer than sixteen British subjects by a portion of the crew of the American emigrant ship William Brown. A case of more frightful atrocity has rarely, if ever, come to our knowledge. From the details which have already been published in our columns, it appears that the above-named vessel, freighted with British emigrants, and bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia, encountered an iceberg on the 19th of April last, in 43 degrees 39 minutes latitude N., and 49 degrees 39 minutes longitude W., from the effects of her collision with which she sank two hours afterwards. Before she went down, the captain, mate, a lady, and five sailors, had contived to get afloat in the jolly-boat ; and the second mate, eight of the crew, and thirty-three of the pas sengers had embarked in the long-boat. Three and-twenty souls perished with the ship. The fate of the selfish and dastardly captain, who would only re ceive as many hands into the jolly-boat as were neces sary to man her, is not known. He bore off for New foundland, and is supposed to have perished with all on board. The long-boat still remained ; but the ruffians who had the management of her, finding that she made her way very slowly through the water, "consulted together," and came to the resolu tion of murdering no fewer than sixteen of their passengers for the purpose of relieving her; so that, as the leading miscreant coolly says, "on counting our "passengers sixteen were found missing," that number, chiefly helpless women and children, having been thrown overboard ! These diabolical wretches have since at tempted to justify their conduct by affirming that most of the passengers were nearly dead from cold and exhaus tion ; but if such had been the case, it would only have aggravated their crime. One little child, we are told, begged of its murderers to be permitted to say his prayers before he was consigned to the deep, but was savagely refused, and was one of their earliest victims. The survivors, consisting of a few women and the assassins, were relieved the next morning by the Crescent packet-ship, from Havre de Grace ; to which port they were subsequently conveyed. In stead, however, of detaining these villains, to take their trial for murder, the American and Eng lish Consuls, after having examined them privately, are said to have discharged them without even a re primand. The name of the English Consul is Gordon ; that of the American Beasley. Nay, so tender-hearted were these philanthropic gentlemen towards these merciless miscreants, that they actually sent them away with written certificates that they had not been guilty of any act " deserving of censure." We have not words at our command wherewith to charac terise such conduct. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The Chancery broker made sales to-day of Con sols to the amount of about 100,0001., said to be preparatory to the distribution of a dividend advertised on the estate of Messrs. Hammersley and Co. Part of the sum was placed at 90, and part at the less favourable price of 89i. A purchase was, on the other hand, made by a leading broker of some 20,0001. or 30,0001. in the New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities. With the exception of these isolated transactions, the business of the day was not important. Money was less easy than it has been, a change that is believed to have been produced by the reports in circulation respecting the French loan, M Humann being, it is said, disposed to dip somewhat unsparingly into the pockets of our capitalists for the supplies needed by him in order to meet the increased expenditure brought on by his predecessor, M. Thiers. The rates given on the deposit of Government securities, ranged between 5 and 7 per cent. per annum. The announcement contained in the French Papers, of au thority having been given by the Chambers to the Minister of Finance to negotiate a loan for 458 millions of francs, has made no very great impression in the City. The amount, however, is large (18,000,000/ sterling) and, as M. Humann notoriously calculates a good deal on the support he may derive from the capitalists of this country, we quite agree with the Morning Chronicle in the opinion that the matter is one which calls for the most vigilant attention on the part of the Bank of England.. The Bank, as was shown by the returns published on Friday of the averages of her liabilities and assets, and upon which we have made some comments, is coming round again, though but very slowly, her present supply of bullion for all purposes, including the demand upon her numerous branches in the country, being but little more than five millions of pounds. The exchanges on the Continent have been restored to their just equilibrium, and, after a long interval of depression, there was a probability, now that prices have been reduced to a salutary standard, of a more active ex port trade for the present season than our manufacturers have experienced for years. The huge French loan affair is, ac cordingly, to be regarded as an exceedingly untoward one. It could not have been brought forward at a less auspicious mo ment, either for the borrowing Government or for this coun try. The Chronicle doubts the success of the French Mi nister in any attempt he may make to obtain a portion of the amount on this side the Channel. The ground of our Con temporary's doubt is not apparent. He merely alludes to " ex isting circumstances," as not propitious for such an operation, without going at all into particulars. It is felt, we suppose, that our capitalists have suffered so extensively by their foreign loan transactions as to have rendered it unlikely they will venture materially further ; and it may be imagined also that the Bank Directors are in too cramped a position to extend the necessary accom modation to parties desirous of participating in the French con tract. Our own impressions differ considerably from those of our Contemporary. We are clearly of opinion that a large amount of the new creation of stock must find its way into the London market. The Brazilian and the Belgian loans have not been declined on the pretext that the Governments of the two countries were too much burdened with debt, and that Spain acd Portugal had shown so wanton a disregard of their public engagements. If Brazil has not got all she wanted, it was owing to the personal displeasure of one individual who had claims to make on the empire in connection with Portugal, and not from any general distrust of her resources. It can hardly happen, then, that the prof fered securities of an honourable and perfectly solid and trustworthy nation like France will be rejected by those whe have a command of funds with which to make in vestments in them. It is said, indeed, that parties connected with the Stock Exchange have already been making arrange.. ments for the purpose, and that the heaviness of the markets to which we have adverted above, is ascribable almost to this circumstance alone. A rumour was prevalent that the next outward East India overland mail will be detained at i%ialta by Government, in order to afford time to Sir Henry Pottinger to receive the latest instructions after the arrival of the next despatches from China by the same route, and which may be looked for between the sth and 10th of the ensuing month of June. We do not at all vouch for the accuracy of the report. TIMES.—The statement that all the stock belonging to Harnmersley's bank had been sold, which was current in the City on Saturday, does not appear, on further inquiry, to have been quite correct, as the last sale seems to have taken place to-day. So far, it was true, that by far the greater part of the stock was already sold, but a sale to-day, by the Court of Chancery of 70,0001., or thereabouts, is said to include the remainder. The very small impression—if impression it can be called— which the announcement respecting the French loan has made in the money market in this country, is a clear indication of the state of the public mind at the present moment with re spect to foreign investments. All distinctions between fo reign countries, all preference for the securities of one over those of another, seem to have ceased, and canitalists appear completely to have given up the thought of looking to any of their funds as a means of investment. To such a pitch is this apathy, or caution (whichever it may be), carried, that if a sale to any extent is made of a foreign stock by a bong fide holder, the jobber is almost as a matter of course obliged 'to seek a purchaser in a foreign country before he can it. Under such circumstances it is expected that the Fre - nch loan, when it actually makes its appearance, will take very little money out of this country, while means of disposing of it on the Continent are at hand from the payments for foreign corn that have from time to time been made by us. Besides, the European countries are said to be much snore disposed to hold each other's stock than we are to take any of them, and Dutch and Russian securities are much spiead over Europe. A comparison with the eagerness with which foreign luaus were entered upon some years ago, contrasted with the present indifference, might seem to argue a want of weeth in this metropolis, especially when the stocks are raised by those nations that have not forfeited public credit. The solution given, however, by persons most experienced in the movements of individual capital,,is the great increase in rail roads, in which, as into a natural channel, money seems gradu ally to be finding its way. The diversion of capital into this domestic investment does not appear to have been sudden, but the purchases have gradually become more numerous, and are still progressing. pst hurCeep supposed s eiroßennOdcaNht that yl l : C eatt L tahh E ahe .sa—sb loanecT h ea ,uw : soei e lnai x l by p e aethr e i mie t e vai c roduct ion into the market of bu;seutitthies secondly, ndeo-t because it is consid ere d that it will be heaviness in o e i s i n n t f h e a e funds,tiba e t c e a d Y offered in instalments h aba itspace h o e l t o h o n k e ed ; c d a i s u t s r e ib i u t t i e s d n o o v t e r believed t d e: u an po d n , thfaivrdoluyr,abbel in the London Market, unless there should be a very conside rable fall in the French Renter.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER THAMES. —Two LIVES Losx.—Monday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a deplorable accident occurred on the river Thames, off Wandsworth Meadows, by which two young men, named William Shield and Richard Carpenter, both linen drapers' assistants, were drowned. A party of young men, including the above, were returning, from Richmond, where they had been spending the day ; on arriving off Wandsworth Meadows, all being partly inebriated, it was proposed by some to have a bathe in the river, which was agreed to. Shield and Carpenter undressed, and plunged into the river, the others rowing about, when Carpenter being seized with cramp, called. to his friend for assistance, in rendering which he must. have: been fastened on by Carpenter, and bath were drowned before those in the boat could render any kind of assistance. Neither of the bodies his been reeovezed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1841 LAW INTELLIGENCE SHERIFFS' COURT, June 1. CHARLTON V. ASHTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 1401. from the defendant, he having made himself liable under the following circumstances It appeared from the statement of Counsel that the plaintiff is a stationer and bookseller in the Haymarket, and that the defendant is also a stationer residing in Piccadilly. In October 1839 the defendant, who was then carrying on his business of bookseller and stationer in Piccadilly, sold his business to the plaintiff, and made an assignment to that effect to the plain tiff. In that assignment the defendant undertook that, in case he recommenced business within the limits of the twopenny post, he would make himself liable to the plaintiff in the sum of 1401. Since that time the defen dant had recommenced business in Piccadilly, and the present action was instituted to recover the sum named an the declaration. The action was undefended, and a verdict pas3ed fur the plaintiff for the whole amount. DARRINGTON V. DANIELS. This was an action to recover the sum of 131. 12s. ld. on a bill of exchange, the defendant being one of the parties endorsing the bill. The defendant put three pleas on the record-Ist, that he was not the endorser ; 2d, that he had no notice of the dishonour of the bill by the acceptor ; and, 3d, that time had been given to the acceptor without the consent of the defendant. None of these pleas were supported in evidence, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the full amount. Bennett and Buckley, Pigeon and Marriott, Darring ton and Daniels.—These were all undefended actions, and verdicts were severally taken for the plaintiffs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A great number of persons appeared in the Justice room, yesterday, to witness the examination of several men, whom some described tas Irish Repealers, others as Teetotalers, and others as a mixture of both, charged with having committed desperate assaults in the City. The bustle and confusion was so great, that it was ex tremely difficult to ascertain for some time what it was all about ; but very much interest was attached to the matter, in consequence of the fact that Mr. O'Connell was on the spot while some of the outrages were perpe trated. Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, was present during the examination. Mr. Daniel O'Connell had, on the morning of Monday, been amongst the teetotalers, who enjoyed a sort of com memoration on that day, and took his leave of them in the City, after which he proceeded through Grace church-street in a barouche-and-four towards London bridge, for the purpose of joining a multitude of re pealers at Bridge Tavern. As the vehicle went along an obstruction was caused, and the City police having interfered to set all right, several of the Irish teetotallers, or repealers, or both, some of whom had sticks, and others had staffs, began to lay about them, and a good deal of mischief was done. The city police, however, having taken into cus tody a few of those whom they considered to be the ring leaders, a stop was put to the row, and the affair was brought before Alderman Pirie. The first person charged at the bar was Patrick Connor. A Mr. Courthorpe, of the Globe public-house, Dept ford, stated that between one and two o'clock on Mon day, as he was going towards London-bridge, on his way home, he saw a great mob of people walking in proces sion. Two men who seemed to be enjoying ' the scene, said to him, " Will you have a pipe ;" to which he re plied that " Perhaps a little brandy would suit him bet ser." He had no sooner said the word than he received a blow upon the head with a staff with a cross upon it from the prisoner, who was one of the party of tee totallers, or whatever they were. Inspector Brake said there was no pretence for saying those who were going towards the bridge were teeto tallers. They were principally Irish, and more than half of them were drunk. George Ritchie, of No. 67, Gracechurch-street, stated that he heard, but did not see the blow, which was desperate one, given. _ _ Giles Winch — , an omnibus conductor, stated that he was close to Mr. Courthorpe, and saw him struck with a staff with a cross upon it by the prisoner, when he said something about a glass of brandy. Policeman No. 542 stated that he was on duty in Gracechurch-street, and saw a mob, and amongst them Mr. Courthorpe, with the blood streaming from his head. The wounded man pointed out the prisoner as his assailant. Witness seized the prisoner, whom the mob endeavoured to rescue, and who had in his hand a staff, which was lost in the affray. Conner said that he never struck a blow. Mr. Court horpe spoke to somebody about a drop of brandy, and immediately received a blow, but from whose hand he could not tell. All hei knew was that the blow was given by somebody that wasn't himself, and he could prove his innocence. Alderman PIRIE—Who, and what are you ?—I am an Irishman, and a farmer's labourer. The next person put to the bar was a man named John Mayne. A young man, named Henry Homewood, servant to Mr. Myers, of St. Peter's-alley, Cornhill, said that at half-past three o'clock (the procession was then on its return from the Bridge Hotel) he went out on an errand to Gracechurch-street, and saw some of the mob en deavouring to push a coachman from his seat. Witness being in livery, they took him, he supposed, for a fel low-servant of the coachman, and he received a blow from the prisoner. Fearing that he should be attacked -with greater violence, he lay down in the street, but the mob kicked him in the face most desperately, while several cried out, " Give it him." Policeman, No. 533, stated, that upon hearing there was a mob in Gracechurch-street, he went up and saw the prisoner, who seemed to be a ringleader, and several others, striking at persons about them. Witness went in to prevent , further violence, and was knocked down by the prisoner. Witness, who had his truncheon, then struck several, but he was knocked down again, and his head was stamped upon. He, however, persevered, and, with the assistance of a brother officer, after re peated attacks upon him, succeeded in securing the pri soner near the bridge, and conveying him through a tradesman's house out of the way of rescue. Policeman No. 591 was also severely maltreated. He was knocked down and kicked into a state of insensibility, so that it became necessary to take him to St. Thomas's Hospital. He lost his hat, and handkerchief, and trun cheon. He now felt great soreness about the body and head. The prisoner said, that he was quiet in the crowd, when the policeman took hold of him, and wrongfully accused and dragged him through the house. The next prisoners put to the bar were John Desmond a-ad John Donovan. Alderman PIRIE asked who seemed to be the leaders of the extraordinary procession, some of the members of which had app eared before him ? Inspector Brake said, that Mr. Daniel O'Connell, wit' s cap and gold band, appeared in the barouche, and was given to understand that the other principal lx"- -sons were the Reverend Doctor Kirwan, the Catlx?lie ., clergy - man of Moorfields Chapel, Mr. Brown, a .. cr i oinet-maker, Mr. , Hennessey, a shoe-maker, and the Mr. M'Davila, a Catholic clergyman. Policeman, No. 572, st `ated, that he observed Mr. O'Connell's carriage n omnibus stopped. Fenchurch-street, where an l'he mob unbuckled the reins of the horses in the tr.nnibus, and when witness interposed, he was struck v . .olently with sticks by the mob, and disabled. rolicetr,an No. 526, saw the last witness attacked, and draggers him from amongst the crowd by the hair of the head, He knocked down four of the mob, who were FAching the man. Afterwards he saw one of the two persons behind the carriage, and he and another appre hended them both. Alderman PIRIE—Was Mr. O'Connell in the carriage? Policeman No. 526, replied that Mr. O'Connell and Doc tor Kirwan were in the carriage. Alderman PiniE=-And could Mk. O'Connell see what was going on ? The witness replied that Mr. O'Con nell could see what was doing. There was an immense number of people hurraing. Mr. O'Connell waved his hand, and they hurraed. Witness was going to appre hend the man whom he had seen strike his brother policeman, when Dr. Kirwan said to the man, " Stand to your post." WitneSs followed till the procession reached the Bridge Hotel, and then he insisted upon knowing Doctor Kirwan's address. Mr. O'Connell at length came out and said to him "Go away fellow, get out of this." Witness declared that he would not go except he had either the address or the person, and Mr. O'Connell then mentioned that the gentleman was Doctor Kirwan, of the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields, and at the same time stated that he would complain of witness's conduct to Mr. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, with whom he was acquainted. James Giles, the driver of an omnibus, which had been stopped, stated that the mob beat his horses, snatched his whip, and covered him with mud, but he received no hurt. Henry Radcliffe, an officer of the Animals' Friend Society, stated that, having been informed by a gentle man that two fellows were beating a policeman, he ran to the spot and saw the prisoner Donovan on the back of the carriage, kicking a policeman most violently. Mr. O'Connell was, at the time, standing at a window at the Bridge Hotel waving his handkerchief and cheering the mob on. The staffs the mob carried were much bigger than those carrried by the police. Policeman No. 594, stated that he was called to take the prisoners from the back of the carriage and was kicked most desperately by them, somebody in the carriage having- held them firmly. The driver of NO. 164 omnibus stated that his vehicle was stopped by the mob, who unbuckled the reins of one of the horses, and covered him (the driver) with mud. The witness Radcliffe said that several of the persons in the procession wore green sashes, with medals at tached. The prisoners both solemnly declared that they never left the back of the carriage from the moment they left Moorfields till the policeman apprehended them. Alderman PIRIE said that all the prisoners must each of them find two sureties for the sum of 50/, and give twenty-four hours' notice of the bail to the City Soli- , citor, who should have instructions to prosecute. them. A man named John Hanby was then put to the bar charged with having seriously assaulted a person named Butt, who was not able to attend in consequence of the injuries he received in the row in Gracechurch-street. Alderman PIRIE told the prisoner that if Mr. Butt should die on account of the ill treatment he received, he (prisoner) could be tried for his life. The prisoner, who appeared to -be a raw Irishman, said that he was an innocent man, and had been treated most scandalously ; nobody could say he had anything in his hand in the crowd. Policeman No. 515, said- that he went up to the place in which Mr. O'Connell's carriage was standing still, and endeavoured to clear the way to let the carriage pass, Witness h e ard Arr. - O'Gou— nell say "Don't be afraid of him," and suspected that he (witness) was meant. Subsequently, at the Bridge-hotel, a•gentleman, who belonged to Mr. O'Connell's company, came out, and threatened to put the city police into the custody of the metropolitan police. Inspector Brette said that the city police had acted with very great propriety and spirit throughout, and numbers of the inhabitants were ready to bear testimony to that fact. Alderman PIRIE said he had every reason to suppose that they deserved the approbation of the inhabitants. Several men with black eyes and bound up heads who stated that they were attacked by the mob, attended, but could not clearly identify their assailants.

Three men, named George k;o7vlesT:Richard Lamb, and James Morgan, were brought before Sir R. Frede rick and R. H. Jenkinson, Esq., at the Town Hall, charged under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Hilditch, the superintendent of the Kingston railway station, that the prisoner Knowles came to the station, and wished to book a place to town, and he tendered a crown piece in payment, which was discovered to be bad, and he was given into custody. Shortly afterwards the prisoner Morgan came to the office, and wished for a place in the train, and he tendered him a coun t er f e it h a lf- crown, but he discovered the attempted fraud, and almost at the same instant Lamb came up, and tendered another bad half-crown. He called for assistance, and a constable came up, and the prisoners were given into his charge. The superintendent was then about to mark the counter feit coins. When he was about to do so, the prisoner Morgan rushed from the side of the constable, seized the half-crowns, and put them into his mouth, and swallowed them in an instant, in spite of the exertions of the by standers to prevent him from doing so. The prisoners were then taken to the station-house, and on their being searched, a quantity of good shillings were found in their possession. The MAGISTRATES expressed their surprise at the statement that the prisoner had swallowed the two half crowns, and said they should have thought it impossible for any one to do it. The constable said that the prisoner Lamb had been in custody at Clapham upon a charge of passing bad money, and it was well known that he would make no thing of swallowing six half-crowns, and that he would do so at any time to avoid detection. The MAGISTRATES asked the prisoners what they had to say in answer to the charge, and how they obtained a livelihood ? The prisoner Knowles described himself as a cattle dealer, and the other two said they were labourers. They accounted -for having the bad money in their possession by saying they had taken it at the races in a booth. Mi. Puwell, the solicitor to the Mint, having expressed his opinion that under the circumstance of the case, there would be no chance of a conviction if the prisoners were s ent for trial, the Magistrates ordered them to be dis charged. WOOLWICH-MONDAY. The Spitfire steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander William Tringham, returned from Portsmouth to Woolwich on Friday. This vessel was on her way to the West Indies, but was or dered back to have some defects in her machinery made good. She is expected to leave Woolwich for the West Indies about Tuesday next. The Firebrand steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, disem barked her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the Prince and Princess of Leiningen at Ostend on Friday, and returned to Woolwich en Saturday. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Hastings Regi.. nald Henry, arrived at Cronstadt en the lith instant, where she disembarked the Hon. Mr. 13loomfield and suite. On the 21st she was visited by the Grand Duke Constantine, who was received with all the honours due to his exalted rank. On the 22d his Excellency the Marquis of Clanricarde embarked, and the vessel immediately sailed for England, and arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock, P.m. on Saturday, the 29th, w h en his Excellency imm e di a t e ly l e ft for London. The Meteor steam-vessel has been fitted by Lieutenant Com • raander John Waugh and the crew of the Lightning until the latter vessel undergoes some repairs. The Meteor is expected to proceed in a few days, and will be accompanied by the Co met, Lieutenant Fiederiok Chevalier Syer, to the North St a. to search for the wreck of the late unfortunate vessel the Fairy. The order for launching the Trafalgar, 120 guns, on Satur day. the 19th of June, has not b"en altered, but, as inquiries were made on Ft iday last to ascertain if it world be pcvsible to launch her on Monday, the 21st of next month, as that day would be preferred in consequence of its being the anniver sary of her Majesty's proclamation as Sovereign of the United Kingdom, and an answer being given in the affirmative, it is no .v almost certain the launch will take place en the latter day. High water at London-bridge, on the 21st June, will be at 36 minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon ; but, as it takes place at Woolwich about 26 minutes earlier, the time for launch ing will lie some minutes sooner, or as near to three o'clock as possible.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR BOLTON OF THE 7TH DRAGOONS.—.Monday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Jury was empanelled at the Burlington Arms, Old Burling ton-street, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Major John Bo'toil aged 34, late of her Majesty's 7 th- Dragoons. Edward Fitzjohn, waiter at the Burlington Hotel, had known the deceased upwards of 1 4 years by lodging oc casionally at hi s master ' s house. The last time he saw him alive was on Friday last, about six o'clock in the evening, when he c.illed and wished to have a room. There being none vacant, witness said he would procure one fur him at Nerot's, opposite, which he did. The deceased, who ap peared in good health and spirits, then left, and he (witness) saw no more of him until the following evening, when he found him lying in bed a corpse. Sarah Pindar, housemaid at Nerot's Hotel, said the deceased came home and retired to bed about 11 o'clock. He was perfectly sober, and appeared in ex , ellent health an d sp i r i ts . Aba f t 10 o'clock the following morning (Saturday), finding the deceased's room door open, she went in as far as the wash-stand, but seeing that the water jug had not been moved, she left it, not wishing to disturb him. At three o'clock she a second time went into the room, when she saw the deceased lying on his back apparently in a sound sleep, She again left, and told the waiter of the deceased not being up. About six o'clock, the waiter said he would go up and wake him, as he h a d l a i n long enough. She accompanied the water up stairs f or th e third time, and on their opening the shutters the deceased was found to be quite dead, with the sheet firmly grasped in both hands. She searched the room, but could find nothing to indicate that the deceased had taken poison, Mr. Miles Marley, surgeon, was called in to see the deceased about six o'clock on Saturday evening. li e found him quite dead, arid not th e l east doubt but' that he had been so above twelve hours. He could detect no poison of any kind, his death being caused by a fulness of blood in the brad, which, pressing on the brain, produced apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visita tion of God." A traveller domiciling at an American hotel, ex claimed ens morning to the waiter, " What are you about , you black rasc a l? You have roused me twice from my sleep by telling me breakfast is ready, and now you are attempting to ey, strip off the bed-clotb es ; what do you mean ?" " Why , ' re plied Porn "if you isn't go i n g to get up, I must hab de F sheet any .uw, 'cause de'r fcr de table elof."
