HAMBURGH, DUTCH, AND FLAN DERS MAILS A letter from the frontiers of Poland, dated 2d Janu ary, says, " The garrison of Warsaw and New Georgiewek, is now again complete, and we learn from the eastern frontier, that regiments hitherto forming part of the southern army, continue to return to the kingdom. In this manner the kingdom of Poland, which was lately almost bare of troops, wig again have an army of a hundred thousand men. BERLIN, JAN. M.—With the new year confidence in the preservation of peace seems to increase, and our stocks are rising considerably. The continuation of our railway is now seriously contemplated. The great railroad from Halle through Cassel to the Rhine, will be commenced in the spring, at the expense of the State. A 3 we understand the Goverment intends to issue for this purpose a paper currency to the amount of several millions of dollars, to be paid off in fifteen years out of the clear profits of the railway. In this man ner the State will obtain a capital without interest, for the comp!etion of the road, and afterwards have the road itself for nothing. TUE WAGUE, JAN. JB.—The Steals Courant of to day gives an account of the state of the river. The ice had begun to break up, and the water was in general rising. The Rhine a t C o l ogne h a d r i sen , on th e ltith, in the morning, 15 feet in 48 hours. HANovEa, JAN.I2.—We can positively state that all necessary measures are taken to have our contingent to the army of the Confederation in readiness to march by the Ist of March. BRUSSELS, JAN. 22.—A. letter from Couvin says : —Since time immemorial the waters were never so high as within these fow days. Our suburb was for some time entirey under water, and the inhabitants were beginning to remove, but happily the water subsided. GHENT, JAN. 21.—The waters have risen several centimetres since yesterday. The, manufactories of Messrs. Voortman and Coppens, and the establishment of the Linen Society at Ghent, have been obliged to sus pend their works in consequence of the inundation. All the distresses of a manufacturing population are in creased by the temporary privation of their wages. In the environs of the city the inundation extends fur- ther than the eye can reach, and in some places, where the communications are interrupted to a great distance, the inhabitants are in danger of experiencing al the horrors of a famine. The barns and stables, which contain the most valuable property of the country people are under water, and the loss will be incalcalable. Happily the weather has been constantly calm, but if a high wind should arise to add to the effects of the inun dation, their ruin would be complete. The environs of Bruges are inundated to a large ex tent, and the damage is immense. DUTCH iIik..O3.—..AMSTLIIDAM, JAN. 10 1,10ne7.

Woorawtcn DOCKYARD. —On'Sunclay the thaw caused the water to break into the new dock at the west end of the yard contracted for by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and covered the bottom to the depth of several feet. The inlet having been stopped, and the powerful steam-engine being constantly kept at work night and day, the water has been reduced to such a small quantity than it is ex pected the workmen will be able to commence opera tions again immediately. About 100 feet in length and the full breadth have been alresdy laid, with the mas sive stones used for the bottom, three feet six inches in thickness, and many of them several tons in weight : they have a most substantial appearance. Workmen have commenced operations betwixt the mast-yard and the new factory so as to admits vessels being brought quite c!ose to the building when they are to be fitted with their ;engines and ironwork. About 150 men were taken on within the last few weeks at the factory, and the iron foundry is now in constant operation. The foundry completed is only capable of casting about sib tons of metal at one time ; but a large piece of ground has been purchased by the Admiralty at the south side of the present buildings, on which it is intended to construct a foundry of considerable dimensions, and capable of cast ing 15 tons of metal at one time. It is even said that an indefinite order has been given for the extension and im provement of this dockyard. The late change in the weather has been the cause of a piece of the wooden pave ment laid under an archway at the factory, and exposed to the atmosphere, to rise in the form of a cupola to a height of nearly two feet, and part of it has fallen in, presenting , a singular appearance.

(From Tait's Magazine for February.) „Limited as is our space, we cannot allow the occa sion to elapse, without one word expressive of hearty satisfaction at the decided movement of the Anti-Corn law League. From the attitude the League has as sumed, whatever may be the immediate result of the election—and we anticipate triumph—the most bene ficial consequences must arise. The Chartists and working classes will now be convinced that the mem bers of the League are in earnest in the pursuit of that great object which has been misrepresented as a trick of the middle classes to divert the people from those fundamental reforms more necessary to their well being ; and those of the Ministry, rho are capable of serious reflection, must now believe that something more is required to satisfy the abolitionists than the hocus-pocus of Open Questions. A proof like this WAS wanted to carry conviction both to that insensible Government, who dispatched the unlucky young gentle men, at such a crisis, to such a constituency, and to those misled persons (on this point grossly misled), who imagine that they have an interest opposed to that of the Corn-law abolitionists. In the present critically balanced state of factions and votes in Parliament, the Ministerial points are, of course, furious at any step which may endanger the places of their patrons ; security in office, " keeping in the Whigs," being the Alpha and Omega of their desire for the general wee!. The real Reformers, also, would, in this parti cular instance, be doubly grieved and disappointed if the Tory candidate was returned ; yet even that cala mity was tolerable, under the conviction of the advantages that must result from the step advisedly taken at Walsall, and which will be repeated as often as a similar crisis atises. Did the Whigs, when they sent down that raw young gentleman, believe that the Anti-Corn-law Association was not sincere in the declarations put forth, that,` vith them, the repeal of the Lread-tax was to be the testing question of every candidate? In these circumstances, the appearance of Mr. Lyttelton at. Walsall looked like premeditated defiance and in. suit. It was Lord Melbourne's speeches against repeal put into action ; and upon every ground of principle, expediency, and consistency, challenged opposition the most decided, let the consequences be what they might. The lesson which this energetic line of con duct has taught, will make the Whip more cautious how they put forth a candidate—fee warded per order— ' whose only claim is aristocratic connection and Trea sury influence. It is of those who sent him that Mr. Lyttelton has to complain, and not of the deputa tion of the League, who only performed a duty to which the League was deliberately pledged, as the Go vernment well knew. But both the Ministry and their tools have been so long accustomed to see every na tional object give way to "keeping in the Whigs," that they have comet r o b in elie dsp v e eti i i t a e t o t f he ev s e a r m y eagssaumreanwce put sto t be played for ever , forth to the contrary.

The towing up of the British Queen by five steam-tugs excited great interest in the river. One powerful tug was pulling away ahead, one on each side of the paddle-boxes forward, and one abaft each paddle-box. The tops of the funnels of the tugs, good-sized vessels, were on a level with the top of the British Queen's paddle-boxes, and they appeared mere pigmies by her side. Soon after the British Queen was taken in tow, a revenue cutter, coming upon the lar board tack, ran into her. The blow was a sliding one, and the channel plates of the cutter were carried away. On her arrival off Messrs. Curling and Young's ship building yard, a large steamer moored off the place was removed to make way for her, and she was hauled into the dock where she was built, the only one in the kingdom capable of holding h. r.

On Saturday evening at five o'clock, an inquiry cf a most painful description was gone into by Mr. Higgs, the coro er for Westminster, at the Flask Tavern, Ebury-square, Pimlico, before a jury of thirteen highly respectable gen tlemen, for the purpose of investigating the cause of the death of Mrs. Hannah Burrows, aged 57. It appeared that the unfortunate deceased was the wife of a schoolmas ter occupying apartments at No. 6, Flask-row, Ebury isquare. Robert Burrows, the husband of tho deceased, was called and examined. He stated that on Friday morning about half-past seven o'clock she arose from the bed, and after lighting the fire and making breakfast ready, she called him shortly after eight. He got up, but after breakfast was compelled to go to bed, owing to his feet being cold. He had not been there long before he was alarmed by bearing deceased scream out, " Oh, Robert, Robert, I am on fire." The bed was in the same room, and on turning he pc roeived the deceased's apron in flames. He jumped out of bed, and succeeded, he thought, in effectually ex ti iguishing the fire, and she sat down on a chair near the window. Shortly after she appeared in one blaze and set the room on fire. CoitoNEß—Wero you sober at the time? Witness— ! was: Juror—When did you discover that she was again on fire? When she sat down on the chair I think she fainted away, and it was some minutes before I perceived that the whole of her underclothing was on fire. I got hold of her and put her on the floor, when I threw a cloak over her, and endeavoured to extinguish it, but could not. The fire and smoke became so great that I was almost suffo cated. Juror—Was there no ono in the house to assist you ? Witness—Yes ; and they came immediately. I gave the alai m. A Juror said it appeared to him that the witness had not exerted himself as he should have done. The poor wo man :rust have suffered dreadfully—in fact he never saw a more shocking sight. She was completely baked. Ad dressing the witness—How long was it before you called assistance? Witness—l can't say exactly, for I was so frightened. Juror—Did you attempt to do anything else to extin guish the fire after throwing the cloak over her? Wit ness-1 threw over her a piece of oil-cloth, and burnt my hands in so doing. A Juror here requested of witness to show his hands, which he did, but there were no burns to be seen. CORONER—How long was it before the fire was put out? Witness—Upwards of twenty minutes. A Juror (to the Coroner)—lt's most extraordinary that she could have been burning that time. There must be grea: neglect somewhere. The CORONER observed that the witness was thrown into such a state of excitement at the time, that be knew not what actually occurred. A Juror—How long did deceased live after the flames were got under? Witness—She was dead, Sir, long be fore that was done. CORONER—When you gave the alarm, what was done ? Witness—The landlord came up, and subsequently other parties, and they extinguished the flames. Mr. Bassan, the occupier of the house, said that about nine o'clock on Friday morning he was alarmed by cries of fire. Thinking it came from the street he opened the window to see where it was, but seeing all was quiet, a thought struck him that the cries were in the house, and he immediately ran up stairs. On reaching the landing place of the first floor be was met by the first witness, who was in a dreadfully excited state, and was crying out, " Fire, fire." lie rushed into the front room, which was full of smoke, and on fire in several parts. Under a table in the centre of the room lay the deceased appa rently in the agonies cf death. Her clothes were on fire, and it was burning fiercely about her. Witness managed to get hold of her arm, dragged her outof the room to the top of the stairs, where he left her, and ran down stairs to give the alarm. He returned as soon as possible with a blanket, and wrapped it round the deceased, but he was unable to put the fire out; subsequently two pails of water were brought to him, which he threw over her and it was then extinguished. On examining the room he found the chair upon which the deceased had been sitting burnt through. It seemed as if her clothes had been on fire when she sat down, as stated by her husband. The flooring of the room in several parts was much burnt In answer to severs! questions, witness added, that he had never seen the hus band or deceased intoxicated during the period that they had lived in his house. A Juror (to the husband)—Can you in any way account for deceased's clothes taking fire?—Husband. No, sir, I cannot. Several of the jury considered that there was a mystery about the case, and that the unfortunate deceased could not have been burned more had there been no one in the room. There being no other evidence, the Coroner made some few observations, and the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased, Hannah Burrows, was accidentally burned to death." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, ,Tex. 23. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on coming into Court this morn ing, gave judgment in the following cases THOMPSON v. GRIFFIN. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolla, but the circumstances of the case are not material fort newspaper, the question turning upon the construction oft settlement. The appeal was dismissed with costs. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. IRONMONGERS' COMPANY. This was also an appeal from the Rolls, and the question was whether there were any objects now in existence which cou:e be considered cy pres to the objectsintended to be benefited hs the will of the testator, who bequeathed a moiety of the income of his property to the Ironmongers' Corn patsy, in trust for the redemption of British slaves in Turkey and Barbary. The case has been for many years be fore the Court, and was heard in different stages, both by Sir John Leach and Lord Brougham, and the facts were fulls reported in " The Sun," when it *vas before the Master of ace Rolls, from whose decision the appeal on which judgment was now given, was made. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, observes. that the effect of the order of December, 1839, was the sub. jest of consideration; that the moiety of the income of the property by the will devoted to the redemption of British slaves in Turkey a n d B ar b ary ought on failure of such gift for want of objects being esta blished, to be applied to the two ether objects named in the will. The first question was whether that application of the property ought to be established. His Lordship then adverted to the terms of the former orders, from which it appeared that that mode of application had been disapproved of by all the other Judges by whom the question had considered. The order of 1430 directed the Master, if he found there were objects of the first gift, to inquire how the moiety of the in come vested for it could be applied, regard being bad to the will, and to approve of a scheme accordingly ; and to inquire whether it could be carried into effect with out the aid of Parliament. The Master reported in favour of a scheme proposed by the defendants, by which the income of the moiety was to be equally divided between the two other objects named in the will, viz., charity schools in the city and suburbs of London, where the education was according to the doctrin es o f the Cinireh of England, no one of them to receive more than 201. a year; and necessitated decayed freemen of the Co 'luny, their widows and children; and he reported that such scheme could be carried into effect without the aid of Parliament. When the case came before his Lordship, while Master of the Rolls, he did not feel himself competent to deal with the report, although he expressed an opinion that there were decided objections to the scheme which had been approved of. He had not been able to satisfy himself that his former opinion was incorrect. It was true that if severalcharities were named in the will, and one failed for want of objects, one of the others might be found cypres to that which had failed; and, if so, that would be an additional recommendation for adopting it, but such other charity ought not, as his Lordship concei ied, to be prefer red to seine other more nearly resembling that which had failed. To assume, because the testator named two charities in his will, he would have given the amount of both legacies to one if he had foreseen the other could not have been carried into effect ; and, therefore, to give the provision in tended for the objects that had failed to the other, was in many cases totally inconsistent with the doctrine of cy pres. The two objects might be totally unconnected, and there might be other charities more nearly connected with that which the testator intended to favour. In the absence of any object bear ing any resemblance to the gift which had failed, it was proper to look at the second gift, but only as a guide; but with regard to the third object, there was no ground whatever for consider ing it as indicative of the testator's general views, nor was there any reason for supposing he would, under any circumstances, have wished the provision to be increased. It could not, therefore, be referred to for any purpose in settling a scheme for the appli cation cy pres, of the funds intended for the first object. The most reasonable course to be adopted was to look at the second gift as an isd'cation of the kind of charity preferred by the testator, but making it as general in its application as the first was intended to be, that was, open to all who might stand in need of its assistance, whieh led to this :conclusion, that it must be al plied in support of charity schools, without any restriction to place, where the education was according to the Church of England; but the sum given to any one was not to exceed 201. per annum. His Lordship saw no ground for applying the fund to Green wich pensioners who were present at the battle of Algiers, or the Seaman's Hospital, or to the Royal Marine Society, or to the Royal Naval Sc' 001, or to the school attached to Greenwich Hospital, unless indeed such schools fell under the description to which he had before referred. Neither was the Alice Charity one to which the funds coals be applied on the doctrine of cy pres. The legacy in that case was to redeem poor slaves in what manner the executors should deem most convenient. In this case there was no restriction as to the description of slaves or the country in which they were to be looked tor, aid when, at the date of the report in 1835, as a reference to ap prove of a scheme, it appeared there were not within any part of the British dominions any poor slaves to be redeemed, but that there were in the colonies many thousands of human beings from whom the appellation of "slaves" had been removed, but whose real situation was very short of that of freedom—from whose bodies the chains of slavery had been struck, but whose minds and morals were still in that state of degradation which was inseparable from the unfortunate situa tion from which they had been recently rescued. It had been proposed to the Master to approve of a scheme for the completion of that holy work by assisting in the education of those poor beings. If before the slavery abolition those funds could have been properly applied in the emancipation of slaves, the proposed application to the extent of improving the condi tion of the negro apprentices, would have been strictly cy pres to the intentions of the donor, but that was an application to which, in the present ease, the funds could not at any time have beets made. There was necessarily great latitude in exercising jurisdiction over charity funds where the direct object of the donor failed, and there'ore very different opinions might be formed on the subject. The providing for the education of the poor it might be said bad no reference to the objeet of the charity which hs,d failed, but no other had been 'suggested by which the funds might be applied in a manner expressed by the testator to the benefit of all who might stand in need of them. His Lordship proposed, therefore, to reverse the decision of the Master of the Rolls, except so much of it as declared that there were no direct objects to which the gift respecting British captives could be applied, and in lieu of that part of it to declare that it should be applied to the support of charity schools in England and Wales where the education was according to the doctrines of the Church of England, but to an amount not exceeding 201. a year to any one. The Master must approve of a scheme for that purpOSO. The relators and the company must have their costs out of the fend, but the other parties, who had appeared for various charities, could not have any costs. Their inter ference, and taking part in the proceedings, was irregular, but t h a e n y e e h s a had under been whichini invited pro ceedingsin t were taken, his Lordship would not order them to t e h o e ns A i diearsitnegesthoe mfficea, pay costs. n a n n e r r l t i h n e c w i r h c i ti n h m st MILIkIER V. SINGLETON. The appeal in this case was dismissed, with costs. ROLLS' COURT, JAN. 23. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied the entire day with a part-heard case of Wiggins v. Lord. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, .Lix. 25. IN RE SIR THOMAS SWYMMER MOSTYN CHAMPNEYS, DART. This case was before Mr. Commissioner Law the whole day (Saturday), and s-me extraordinary dis closures have been made in the proef debts, for some days past, of the manner in which money had been raised on " bill transactions." There is a iarge sum — upwards of 20,0001.—available for the creditors under the iesolvency of the year 1833, when the deceased Baronet was discharged at Winchester ; and the pre sent proceeding has been adopted preparatory to the declaration of a dividend, which, in some measure, will depend on the debts proved or allowed. Th e que stion of " usury" has been raised in a number of instances, and strict proof is required of the alleg e d debts, many of which were entered by the d ecease d B arone t as " disputed,"and the consideration has been questioned, on the part of the assignees, by their solicitors, Messrs. Lawrence and Bienkarne, of Bucklersbury. A curious instance occurred to-d a y b e f or e Mr• Commissioner Law. A wine-merchant sought to prove as a creditor for 5001. on a bill of exchange accepted by Sir Thomas Chainpneys for that amount, for which, it was alleged, wine had in pipes been sup plied to his agent, a ge ntleman who drew the bulb.lt appeared that the wino was sold by the wine merchant to the egent at 451. 10s. a pipe, and Ors .sent, requiring money for Sir Thomas, sold the vviriri immediately afterwards to a highly-respectable house in the trade for 301. a pipe, thereby sustaining a loss on each pipe of 151. 10s.! !! The amount obtained for the 5001. bill was only about 3801. ; and it was stated that, in innumerable instances, the system had been pursued for the purpose of raising money. The wine-merchant declared that lie was selling wine at the same price. A warrant of attorney bad been taken for the money, and thereon judgment was entered up before the bill, at three months, became due. It was contended for the assigne that the Court could not allow such a claim, as it was clearly an usurious transaction. Mr. Commissioner LAW said usury had been shown, and on the present evidence lie should disallow the claim. Here was an instance of wine being sold at 151. a pipe under what it was charged. It was an usurious transaction, and he should disallow the claim. The wine merchant might p ro d uce an y o ther evidence if he thought pro per, but, as the case now appeared, he should disallow th e c l a i m. —Th e c l a im was rejected. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. THE SHIP DRYAD.—On Saturday Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace, and Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wal lace, brothers, were brought up again for examination before Sir Peter Laurie. The interest was greatly in creased, and the evidence, moat of which was entirely new, put it beyond all doubt that the ship was lost for the purpose of plundering the insurance companies. The statements of Mr. Stott, who, it w,ll be recollected, was charged with being an accomplice at the commencement of the proceedings, and before the solicitors for the pro secution had had time to make the necessary inquiries, will he read with deep interest. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Laurie attended at counsel for the prosecutors, to which Mr. Phillips and Mr. Farquhar acted as 'solicitors ; and Mr. C. Phillips attended a s counse l for the pr i soners , to whom Mr. Humphri es was sol i c i tor. Mr. Hol d er , jun., attended to ineke an implication on the part of Mr. Stott. The examination lasted for five hours. Captain Tait, of the Benceolen, stated that as be was making for Cape Haytien, in St. Domingo, he ob served the Dryad steering on for the reef. He fired a signal gun which was not returned, and he sent a pilot on board who brought the vessel into port. The wit ness then pre the account alrealy published of the con duct of Captain Looze, of the Dryad, on shore, which clearly proved that Captain Looze was sorry that the ship g o t O. Witness shipped the mate, in consequence of th a t p erson ' s statement that it was t h e i ntent i on o f the C a pt a i n to s i n k the ship ; indee d , the day after to witness,the observations of Captain Looze weiu such, that no doubt was enter tained of his intention. The Captain of the port said was sure she would not go far. Some days afterwards, the Dryad left port, that he a steam-vesscl came in an reported the loss of tho Dryad on a reef of rocks off Cuba. William Norman Frost said—l am a ship-chandler at 320, Wapping. I was acquainted with Captain Edmund Looze, and knew him as master of the brig Dryad. I had known him about eight or ten years. In the last voyage of the Dryad I supplied the captain with sills, by direction of Michael Wallace, given to me in Lon don. I did not see Captain Looze on the subject along with Michael Wallace. I did not see the captain at all in London immediately before his voyage. It is now from 18 months to two years since I saw C Looze. I have been paid for the sails which I supplied by Michael Wallace. They were supplied for the last voyage to Cuba, and I was paid about two or three months afterwards at the furthest. Jr. July Captain Cuddy, of the Premier, barque, called upon me. He delivered to me some papers and property, as from Captain Looze. The property consisted of clothes, money to the amount of about 971., and a bill of ex change for 4001. The clothes I still have, and the cash I handed to Captai i ',ooze's mother. The papers I delivered to Patrick Wallace, to give to his brother Michael. I was present when the bill for 4001. was deposited in the hands of Howden and Anisley. AU chisel Wallace was likewise present. Not a word was . said while he was present about what the bill had been drawn for, or whether it referred to the Dryad, or anything of the sort. It was only stated that it was to be kept till the parties entitled to it were found, The bill remained with me till it was deposited with Howden and Anisley. I kept it in my possession till I received a notice from Michael Wallace to deliver it to himself and Mr. Howden. I accordingly delivered it to Mr. Howden in his presence, and with his concur rence. The notice to deliver it was not in writing, but Michael Wallace called upon me and gave it to me verbally. He did not tell me what the bill referred to. There wits no conversation between us upon the subject. From papers which were amongst those I received from Captain Cuddy, and which I afterwards handed over to Patrick Wallace to give to Michael, I was in duced to believe that the bill referred to was drawn for the salvage of the cargo of the Dryad. After Pa trick Wallace was taken, his sisters made a communica tion to. me, in consequence of which I went to the Compter to see him. I think this was about a week after be was taken. I saw Patrick Witi!ace on that occasion, and he talked over the subject of this charge. It was a friendly conversation, and I did not expect that I should be obliged to disclose it here. I said I was sorry to see burn in the situation he was in, and he declared to me that he was an innocent man, and that his brother was the man they ought to have taken ; that his brother was a big scoundrel, and had led him into the error ; and that he knew not but what the goods were shipped on board of the Dryad that were supposed to be shipped. I believe that that was about all that took place on that subject. I also said to him that there were papers, which i delivered here, that would I thought help him out of the difficulty, as they referred to some of the crew and the mate, who were discharged at Falmouth in Jamaica. I asked him if he knew anythusg, of the bill of exchange for 4001., and he answered that he believed the bill had been divided, but he did not know exactly. He mentioned the pri soner Michael Wallace as one. James Stott was next ctlled : He said, I was clerk to Mr. Nicol, ship-broker, at George-yard, Lombard. street. Before that tune I bad been clerk in the office of Seldon and Johnson. I was clerk to Mr. Nicol when I was taken into custody. I first became acquainted with Patrick Wallace about seven years ago. in 1889, when I commenced business upon iny own account, he called upon me and promised me a share of his business. ' He gave me several ordsrs in his way of business, as a bottled ale merchant and importer of bristles. One moreing he said that he would give me saint fling to do ' in effseting insuran ees .t or his ship, the Dryad, whiith was very anxious to be engaged in. ( Here the witness mentioned the eommissioris given to tom by Patrick Wallace to execute insurances for the Dryad at the companies' offiees.) From that time until the news arrived that the vessel was lost nothing transpired, and I continued to do business for him in his general way. Same days after the loss appeared, he said that his bill • of fading was not stamped, and asked whether the Company would make any objection to settling a loss. To which I replied that I thought not, as I never heard of such a thing. He said, "Oh., I know better, and I shall get it stamped." He then begged that I would accompany him to Somerset House to get the hill of lading stamped. I did so, and it cost him 54 Two or three days afterwards he brou ; ,ht me the pro ! test and policy, and requested me to go to the General Maritime Company and obtain a settlement of the loss. After seeing Mr. Gray at the Maritime Office, I in formed Patrick Wallace that the Company were not sotisfied with the protest, and would like to see Captain linCiZ'2.'S letter. He said he should do no such thing. There was the protest and policy, and what more did they want, and that he should make them pay. After a great deal of trouble he brought me the Captain's letter, at the same time saying, " That letter has cost me two sovereigns, for I did not like to let my brother know that I am settling my insurance ; therefore, I have been obliged to get it from the clerk of Howden and Ansley, for if I had asked that house for it my brother would have heard of it. I then produced the letter at the Maritime-office, and they consented to settle 801. per cent , which I paid, as soon as I got it, to Patrick Wallace. (Tne witness then stated the fact of his having received from the Alli ance Company the sum of 7154 for Mr. Patrick Wal lace.) A month or six weeks afterwards I asked him if he had heard again from the Captain. He said that his brother had had a letter born the Captain, but he did not intend to show the Maritime Company that or anything else. When I inquired the reason he smiled, and said, " Oh, it is all right ; if they expect any of the grods will be saved, they are much mistaken." I said, " Well, if you want your insurance settled, why don't you give them proof. Will not the Captain's letter do so ?" He said, " Oh, yes, there are a good many pans saved, but no beef and pork," and again laughed. I asked him what he laughed at, and he said, " Oh, it's a clear thing ; Looze has done it well." I then left him. Witness, after detailing several other conversations be tween him and Patrick Wallace, relative to the balance at the Maritime-offiae, proceeded—" I said I heard of s hips being lost intentionally, and I hoped that was not the case of the Dryad." He then changed his temper, and threatened to kick me out of the place, and that if I used such language to others I might he troubled with an action for defamation of character. Next morn ing he called upon me, and said, " I was not to think anything of what he had said the day before ; it was all o joke, and he was sorry to sue that he could make me beiieee anything." I did not apply again to Mr. Gray, till after 1 addressed a I. tter to the Consul at Santa Cruz. This is the portfolio of Patrick Wallace. This letter was not written by site, but ss, as nearly as I can tell, a copy of what I wrote, It is not nay wr4,ing. Mr. Gray requested that I would write a letter to the Consul to ascertain what woods were saved, and state when the thing could be settled. I toad Mr. Wallace so, and he said it. was a great nuisance, and would taise three or four months to get an answer. He ,inin said, "'Take a sheet of paper and write," and I wrote at Isis dietitian to the Consul. He took it away. I wish to explain why It ut the postscupt. He said, This commurecation is anon} mous between ourselves." He directed Inc to add the postscript. I asked why, as it look d queer. [The postscript stated, "Of course this communication Is in confilence between us.") I was rentetant to writs: it, and asked hint the meaning of it. He said that there was a part sal the cargo not file!: up, and he and his brother had determined to fib rise vessel on their own account, and he did not wish the charterers to know it. Sir PETER LAURIE—If you had given me this an seeer when you were in Custody, I would have discharged you without any imputation on your character. Witness—Because my solicitor directed me. Mr. Clarkson said it was impossible that any other advice could have been given under the circumstances with judgment. Mr. Hobjer, jun., said that he had advised Mr. Stott to be silent under the circumstances, and he referred to the bar whether he could have acted otherwise. All the barristers and solicitors on both sides said the answer was perfectly judicious, and was in every respect creditable to the gentleman who advised it. Witness proceeded—l wished to write a letter in my own style, and Patrick Wallace said " do as I direct you, or let it alone." I showed the letter I received to Patrick Wallace, and I also, at his desire, showed it to Mr. Gray, who said that I must wait till the Captain should arrive with the papers. Patrick Wallace sold it he expected Captain Looze, or the papers, he was much mistaken, for neither would arrive. 1 said you must have some good grounds for saying so. He said Captain Looze was a big :rogue ; no doubt he picked ail he could out of the wreck, and then he had gone to the States. This was said in a laughing way. Patrick is a very jocular, lively tempered man. Patrick said afterwards to me he was going to St. Pctersburgh to make some large purchases in isinglass, and to recover a sum of money belonging to his brother, •alio died of the cholera. He stated that by making the purchases he sh(aild save the commission. He said he expected upon his return that I should have got the insurance of the Dryad. I said " How is it possible I can do so a,, you have got the papers." He then premised to give me the papers on the Monday morning, as he was going away on the Wednesday. Patrick Wallace told me at one time that Capt. Looze was dead, at another that he was not dead. It was alwaysin a jocular way. He also said the Captain was in Landon for three weeks. I asked him why Captain Looze did not go to the Maritime Insurance. Patrick Wallace said that Looze was a clever fellow, and had done the Dryad's job well, and he would give him a vessel again. I said " Indeed, then he must have been well paid," and joked him how much. Ho said 1,000/. or 2,0001. When I was taken into custody I saw Patrick Wallace in the room below. I asked him what this business was about. I did not understand it. I expressed my surprise. He said " It is a dieudful job. You are all right. You are only agent in the affair, and need not mind anything about it." I said, " No more have you ; you are not - master of the ship." He said the papers found on board the Palmyra, belong ing to the master, were in his (Patrick's purse, and they would prove his guilt, and he was quite sure he should be transported. I said he must hope better for him3. , .. 1 f. He also said, going in the coach, that his brother wcu the biggest rogue. All he had done was for his brother, who, no doubt, would fly. At the Compter our rooms were separated, he being above and I below. I could see the window of his room, and had several conversa tions with him. He asked me if I remembered ping to the Dank with him in the summer to get gold to pur chase sugars at the Mauritius, to the amount of 1,7001., and he said, when I replied yes, " Oh, well that money never went to the Mauritius. I have got that safe enough. They have traced the money to the changing for gold at the Bank, and that beat them." He said it he was transported he had that safe enough. The ex amination of Mr. Stott ended here. Mr. Nobler, jun., applied for the rele:ae of Mr. Stott's securities. Mr. Phillips—Most certainly. Mr. Stott is certainly entitled to have his securities released. Sir P. LA URlE—Certainly—l regret very much that he has been inconvenienced, or that any imputation has been cast upon him. The further examination was adjourned. EUROPE, 1841. France England Spain and Portugal 500,000,000f. Austria and Italy Russia Holland and Denmark, &c.

PUBLIC DINNER TO JOHN O'CONNELL, Esq., M. P.—A public dinner was given at Liverpool, on Saturday, to John O'Connell, Esq., Member of Parlia ment for Athlone, to afford an opportunity of ascertaining the public feeling in Liverpool, on the repeal of the legis lative union between England and Ireland. The result does not tend to inspire much hope in favour of the agitation. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURItENCE.—In the af ternoon of Wednesday week, the inhabitants of Old Bas ford were is a state of excitement and consternation un paralleled within the memory of its oldest inhabitants, with the exception of the day when the murder of Greensmith's children by their parent gave such a shock to the minds of many that months could not eradicate. Upon inquiry we learnt that about half-past four of the day already men tioned, Mr. Herbert Twells, a shoemaker, observing that the curtains in the house ar.d chamber occupied by Ri chard Rose, framework-knitter, and his wife, from whose residence he lives several hundred yards, were not drawn, he informed his wife, who instantly sent one of her chil dren to inquire of one of Rose's neighbours whether they had been seen during the day ; the child bringing word that no one had seen either Mr. or Mrs. Rose, Twells and his wife proceeded to the house, and perceiving the key to be in the house door, they were sure that some dire disaster had befallen them, and immediately forced open the door. On entering the house there was not any smoke but a strong smell of sulphur pervaded it. On opening the door which led to the chamber the smell of sulphur was stronger, and on entering the room it was in tense. They were now horrified at discovering Mrs. Rose lying in bid with her head over the bed-stock; from her mouth a large quantity of froth had issued and was still issuing. Her husband was still insensible. The eyes of Rose were closed, but one of his wife's was partly open. Their countenances presented a ghastly and death-like appearance. On Monday Rose and his wife were removed to the Union Poorhouse in a light tilted or covered cart, but so much was the poor fellow reduced, that he was obliged to be carried from his residence to the conveyance in a blanket. Mrs. Rose, however, was so much re covered as to be able to walk from the house to the cart. ' She was about 38 years of age, and her husband 29. They bad no family. The accident arose in the following man ner :—On Tuesday night Mis. Rose complained of being i t a h e e e, st ti o n m d a h e e h r ; re h w e e r d h a us c b i ln i d_ ma deal ing- twelve or fourteen pounds.

BO W-STREET. THE CRUSADE AGAINST LICENSED VICTUALLERS. —Mr. Salter, the landlord of the Hampshire Hog, next door to the Adelphi Theatre, was summoned by Inspector Medlicott, of the F division of police, for keeping his house open after twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 16th inst. The offence was clearly proved. _ _ The defendant, in answer to the charge, stated that his house being next door to the Adelphi Theatre he kept it open later than usual for the accommodation of i,crsons leaving the theatre, the performances at which seldom terminated before twelve o'clock. His house: had always been conducted in a respectable, quiet, and orderly manner ; and during the fourteen years that he had kept it only one complaint had been made against it.—[This the police admitted.]—He thought it a very hard case that persons on leaving a theatre could not obtain that refreshment which they required before going to their homes ; and it would be the ruin of him if he were not alloaed to furnish it, for he did more business in the quarter of an hour after the theatre ' closed than all the rest of the day put together. Mr. JARDINE said he was quite aware that the Act of Parliament in question was one of very great hard ship on the licensed victuallers generally, but particularly on those whose houses were in the neighbourhood of the theatres. He was sure that the great body of licensed victuallers had no idea when the Act in question was under the consideration of Parliament that it was in• tended to compel them to close their houses at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and that, on the contrary, they believed its object was to prevent their opening them before one o'clock on the Sunday afternooa„ and on that view of the case they supported it. Dcfcndant—l did so for one, being anxious not to have my house open on the Sunday morning. Mr. JARDINE said he knew that many respectable li censed victuallers were anxious not to open their houses on Sunday morning, and believing the object of the Act to be to prevent public-houses from being opened on Sunday mornings, they gave it their cordial support ; but, notwithstanding the opinion he (Mr. Jardine) had just expressed, it was his duty as a Magistrate to admi nister the law as he found it. If he was wrong in iii in terpretation of the law he should be very glad to he set right, but fortified as he was by the opinion of eminent counsel on the subject, be should fee it his duty to con vict the defendant, but he would do so in a very lox penalty—viz. 10s. He had no doubt that the licensed vctuabers wuuld have opposed the Act had they known the object of it, but that they were deceived by the am oguity of the phrases adopted by the trainers of it. Tice delcodatit iminedoitely pail the penalty, Mrs, Giddmis, ”C the Bedford Head, Maid•:.u-lane, was summoned for refusing to admit the police to her house after twelve o'clock on the same night. The waiter swore that he did not know it was the police, or he would have admitted them, and the case was dismissed. Mr. Abbs, of the Lamb, in Houghton-street, was summoned for keeping his house open after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, but he proving by several witnesses that the parties were all private friends of his, the case was dismissed. After the above cases had been disposed of, Mr. JAR DINE said he wished the police would keep a sharp look out after those k:nd of public houses which were meant to come under the operation of the Act, instead of sum moning respectable landlords, against whom there was no real ground of complaint. HATTON-GARDEN. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Francis Bugler, an elderly man, was put to the bar, charged with stealing an immense quantity of property belonging to Mr. Alfred Davidson, a merchant, residing in Grace church -street, City. Inspector Penny, of the G division, stated that at seven o'clock in the evening the prisoner was seen to enter a marine store dealer's shop by Police-constable Maddox, who, suspecting him, took him into custody. In his poss,,sion were . - )Slbs. weight of copper wire, witch he said wes his own, and g,ive his address in Vnitcehapel. On being Uken to the stair n-house, witness recognized him as the brother of a man who wag sentenced to transportation two sessions ago for robbing his master of a 800/. Bank of England note, and who was apprehended in Birmingham by witness. The prisoner, on seeing him, said it was no use making - any further concealment, and he admitted that the property did not belong to him, at the same time ex pressing his regret that he had been led into the connis sion of an act which he knew had for ever ruined him, and he assigned as a reason for committing himself the illness of his wife, and heavy expenses attendant thereon. Wit ness knowing that the prisoner had been twelve years in the service of Mr. Davidson, immediately called on that gentlemen, and they went together to search the prisoner's house, where they found copper wire, pins, needles, buttons, cards, casts for matches, books, and a variety of other articles, which were sufficient to stock a large house to be opened for the sale of such goods. This property witness removed in several carriages to the station•house, and a portion of it he now producel Police-constable Maddox, 40 G, gave corroborating evidence, and the property having been identified by Mr. Davidson, the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate.

THE MURDER AT ASHTON. On Thursday the four prisoners, Williams, Holme,and the two Hardwicks, were placed before the Magistrates at Ash ton, when Edward Davis, one of the accompiicPs, was con fronted with them. He was one of the prisoners liberated from Kirkdale on bail, but afterwards recommitted. His appearance as a witness, produced a great sensation in Court. After recounting the various meetings of the par ties, he thus describes what took place after his arrest:— While in custody here, I was with Williams at the station house in Droylsden. On Saturday, when brought up here, we were taken out to be shaved one by one. We were all shaved. I and Thompson, Williams. and Hardwick, were all in the lock-up together. I heard Williams saying to the Hardwicks, that all of us should be of one mind; there ought to be no splitting. " Sooner,"he added, " than split on little Jack, I'll hang like a pound of candles." I was sent to Kirkdale that day. After being there some days, I met with Williams and the Hardwicks. I and Williams were talking, and Samuel Hardwicke got behind us. I was talking about the man being shot. I said "Itis a very awkward concern, and it is most likely some person may suffer for it innocently." " Oh," said Williams, " it's of no use talking about that. There is not a man upon earth knows about it, only me and little Jack." Sa muel Hardwick found us while we were talking this way. I repeated the same words over again in Samuel Hard wick's hearing. He said again there was no danger of its com ing out. No one outside knew of it, only Jack. "Jack I will never split on," he said, " and I'm not afraid he'll split on me." He said he should not like Jack to be hurt; he was a little good one. He spoke to me of the money attar. As we were walking, he said, " Jack has done his duty this time; lie ought to have a pound for it." The prisoner Holme commenced a very long but wholly pointless cross.exaininetion of the last witness, except in deed in points in which he criminated himself and Wil liams. Ile asked him, for instance, was he not present with them at Whitfield sow-mill when the murder took P • lace 9 And when the witness replied in the I creative, he applied to the Bench to be allowed to call Williams as a witness in support of his accusation, which, of course, the Magistrates refused. The Court continued to sit without interruption until five o'clock, when it adjourned. THE MANCHESTER CHARTER OF INCORPO RATION.—At a meeting of the Judges in the Exchequer Chamber on Tuesday List, the day for taking writs of ,rror in the Court of Exchequer was fixed for Monday the 22d of February ; when, of course, something will be said about the cause of Rutter v. Chapman, and most probably judgment will be given. As many parties have supposed that this arrangement amounts to a postpone ment of the judgment, we think it right to state, that we believe such is not the fact. It is customary to allot the first Monday after term to writs of error in the Queen's Bench, the a, cord Monday to writs of error in he Common Pleas, and the third Monday to writs in the Exchequer ; and this alit/hi:eat has been adhered to on the present occasion.
