MORNING SUN THE LATE FIRE IN THE TOWER. The Committee of Inquiry, appointed by the Master- General of the Ordnance, have made the following Re port. The fire broke out in the Bowyer Tower, but it is impossible to say whether it originated in the Round Table-room, the View-room, or the staircase leading from the View-room to the back stair. The Committee are also of opinion that the system of watching is very defective, ani that the workshops ought not to have been connected with the armoury. The next paragraphs confirm all that has been published . respecting the gross negligence of the guardians of this venerable citadel. The Committee having concluded their evidence, pro ceeded on the 12th inst. to draw up their Report for pre sentation to the Master-General and the Board of Ordnance, which was presented by Colonel Peel, th e Chairman, as under : " Board-room, Tower, Nov. I; 1841. " The Committee having examined many witnesses, the evidence of 44 of whom, with reference to the First Head of Inquiry, is herewith transmitter;, 'together with explanatory plans and sections of the. places referred to by them : it appears to the Commiltee, that the fire broke smut in the Bowyer Tower, and that it was first confined to it, as its communication Item that tower to the other buildings consumed has been most clearly traced in the evidence. It is, therefore, necessary to describe very minutely this Ulmer, which is built against the wall of the great stair; ,se of the Grand Storehouse or arm oury ; the baser lent of which is called the Clarence. vault, over which are two rooms used as workshops—the View-room and the Round Table or upper room, which had a dough floor, with an interval of about 13 inches. Each Imit an outer door opening into the line wall marked E on pl.an, and an inner door communicating with the bacis. ~ taircase which leads to the three several floors of the Grand Storehouse—namely, the train of artillery, the small arms armoury, and the tent-room, which latter is in the roof. " The Round Table-room and the View-room were provided with stores on Arnott's principle; the pipe of that•in the Round Table room went into the flue of a chimney on the east side of the Tower ; the pipe of that in the View room went directly through on the west side; and there is no reason to believe that these stoves were improperly placed, unhss it be considered that they should have been placed upon a plate of metal, which was not the case. The entrance front the back staircase into the View- room was by a flight of about a dozen steps partitioned off, on the left of which was a wood-cellar running un der the floor of the View-room, and on the right of the steps a window looking upon the roof of the Survey room adjoining the Bowyer Tower. The View-room was divided by a wooden partition. " The Round Table-room extended over the passage leading from the back staircase into the View-room, and had mu partition in it. Tn* stove stood nearly in the centre. " The fire was lighted in the stove in the View-room on Saturday morning, the 30th of October, which went out early in the day. The fire in the Round Table-room was also lighted in the morning, and went out in the afternoon. The stoves and pipes were thoroughly cleansed, to prevent smoking, and after wards some wood and chips were lighted in the stove to sec hJw-it Would draw ; these chips were allowed to burn out, and when the men left the room there was no appearance of fire. The doors were locked, as usual, at four o'clock, and the keys delivered to Bell, the foreman. With regard to the exact spot in the Bowyer Tower where the fire broke out, the evidence is so various that it is impossible to say whether it originated in the Round Table-room, the View-room, or the staircase leading from the View-room to the back staircase. " Some itnesses describe the fire as haring broken out before any light was perceptible either in the Round Table or the View-room. Mr. and Mrs. Gollings de scribe the smoke as first proceeding from the upper or Round Table-room, while Morris and Sergeants Eft : , wards, Knott, and Nash state that although the % d i n " room was full of smoke, there was no lire three when the lower or View-room was in flames. "The only way of reconciling these ra nous state ments, and to account for the fire occurred acci dentally, is to suppose that some ; .gn'itea substance had fallen from the stove in the Rou-4 Table or upper room between the double floor, the -~.0 producing a smouldering* fire, which broke out ver nine .f partially at o'clock, oc casioning the light dusc - x tb e d by the witnesses, Lock and his wife, and afterwa ...ds the smoke seen in the upper room by Gollings and 'ads wife at a quarter before ten o'clock; that it contini:.ed to burn gradually till it arrived over the stairca,sq leading from the View-room to the back staircase, where it burst into flames, and from the Bow yer Tower it was distinctly seen to communicate with the roof of the Armoury, extending east and west, and gaining ground so rapidly as to account for the impres sion on the minds of some that the buildings were on fire at distant parts at the same moment. " Various reports have reached the Committee, which, if true, would prove that it was the act of an incendiary ; but upon the most diligent inquiry, and strictest exami nation of the persons giving information, it has been impossible to trace the slightest foundation for them. It is clear, however, from the situations of the workshops, and the easy access to them from the line wall, such 'an act might have been easily accomplished. - "From the evidence of the witnesses examined with regard to the second head of inquiry, it appears that the foremen of the several store-rooms and workshops are considered responsible for their fires being extinguished before they leave off work, and that the rooms are safe previous to being locked up. "There are four night watchmen, two of whom are stationed on the wharf, and their duties confined to it ; one at the gate until closed, and the fourth at the north- east angle of the White Tower, whose orders are to exa mine all the doors and windows of the several buildings to which he has r. eccss. " The sentri e s have orders to give the alarm in case of fire, but i 4 does not appear that the buildings imme diately in rear of the Grand Armoury are in view of their posts, no;i- are they visited by the watchmen. " It further appears to the Committee, from the evi del-iee now transmitted, as well as from the evidence under the first head of inquiry, that all these precautions were taken, and that no blame attaches to the persons whose duty it was to carry them into effect ; but it is the opinion of the Committee that it would have been far better if some one responsible person had been appointed to visit the several storehouses and workshops, after the workmen had quitted them, reporting to the proper au• thority that all was safe and secure. " It also appears that the system of watch ing ,is very deficient, the watchmen being few in number, and previously exhausted by daily la bour. Had the buildings in rear of the Grand Armoury been watched and guarded, which was the more necessary from the circumstance of their being very easy of access from the roofs of the adjoining buildings, the late fire must have been early discovered and easily extinguished ; this would also have been the case had John Lock, the first witness examined, given the alarm when he first saw the light in the Bower Tower, which he undoubtedly ought to have clone. "As relate; to - the fifth head of inquiry —namely, ' Whether there appears to have been any want of due consideration with regard to ,the position of the wonshops in the vicinity of the building containing the small arms, or the position of the fire-places or the flues put up'for warming those shops. " The Committee are of opinion that the workshops (which have been used a* such from a very remote period) ought not to have been connected with the Grand Armoury, more particularly as the use of stoves cannot but b e atten d e d w i t h some d egree o f d anger . I n th to e present i nstance attent i on appears to h ave b een pa id the positi on o f t h e stoves, with the except i on o f t h e i r not , having be en p l ace d on a sheet of meta l . , ,s relat es to t h e s i xth head of inqu i ry—namely, T ascertain to what extent the want of water, which is said to h ave existed, is attributable. to any imperfection in the arrangement for furnishin g a supply, or to any negligence of those under whose superintendence those arrangement are.' " It appears that the char g e of the wa t erwor k s , t an k s , mains, stop-cocks, &c., for the supply of water to the Tower, are under the superintendence al erintendence of the engine keeper, Mr. Smart, li .ho sothe car e o f th e fire-en gines and all appert a i n i ng thereto. " There are five underoTound tanks capable of con taining 36,662 gallons. These tanks ought to be kept constantly full, for when eircumstancers occur fi to prevent the working of the steam-engine o (which is the ca se at lo w water, o r whente water-wheel undergoing , repair), they are the only means of supply to th e ga rr i_ ample for ordinary o p ts ur ra p a ose h s , , , are son, and although (as s m s t t n a u te t d e gallows e-rpulnped in sufficient in case of fire, as their co, lBo out by one fire-engine throwing off in eight hours, or by eight engines in one hour p in evidence). . "On the night of the fire t h e re were eightee n cit.- Ines in operation, and if thes e had been dep en d ent on the tanks alone for water, s upposing they had been full (of which there is no evidence to the contrary) every build. ing within the Tower defences would in all probability have been destroyed. the barracks "The main and pipes which supply . houses are of lead, only three inches in diameter, having at intervals of about forty yards stop-cocks and delivery pipes, to which the fire engine hose may be attached ; but before any water can be thrown into these mains, the steam engine at the water-works, or the water-tank, must be put in motion ; this would occasion considerable delay, and if the tide should be out, and the moat dry from having the water let off to cleanse it, there could be no supply of water. The Committee are therefore of opinion that the ar rangepents in case of fire are imperfect, and that the practice hitherto adopted of only inspecting the tanks once in three months is not sufficient, and accounts for their not having been full (as stated in evidence) as 'he night of the fire. "The erroneous impression, however, in the minds of some of the witnesses that there was no water in the tanks, arose from ignorance of their construction, and depth to the surface of the water in the eastern one (which is upon a higher level than the others) to be much less, as shown in the accompanying section of the tanks. " Air. Smart being the only person responsible for the supply of water, it was impossible for him to be at the waterworks, at the tanks, and at the main pipes, at one and the same time ; fortunately the foreman of the works and one of the labourers in the engineer department, who have a k nowledge of the waterworks and pipes, were on the spot to render assistance, but even this was very far from sufficient for the emergency ; the Committee therefore respectfully suggest, that the Ordnance tire engines be placed under the control of the officer com manding the detachment of Royal Artillery stationed in the Tower, whose duty it should be to instruct his men as to the means of obtaining a supply of water, and see the engines practised at least once a month. " The Committee are also of opinion that iron main pipes of six or eight inches in diameter should be laid down in place of the present three-inch leaden ones, and that water should be laid on when required, in case of fire, by one of the Lond on W aterworks Co , mpanies. " For ordinary purposes, and for the sake of economy, these iron pipes might be supplied with water Iv the means now in use. " J. PEEL, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Surveyor- General of the Ordnance. " L.

We understand Sir F. Smith left town yesterday (Fri day), to re-inspect the Gosport branch for the second time prior to its opening. To-day the Directors go down the line to attend a public dinner in honour of the event. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. This line will open to Crewe, that is the remaining distance throughout, in March next. SECOND SLIP ON THE CROYDON. The first slip, which occurred about a fortnight since, was completely cleared away by Saturday last, so that the trains traversed the line on the following Sunday and Monday ; but on Tuesday morning a mass of earth fell down on the floor of the slip, covering the rail to the extent of several feet. The passage of the trains thus being impeded, the Brighton passengers were conveyed by omnibuses to the Dartmouth station, and on Wed nesday afternoon a way was made for the waggons to pass through, and the men have been employed in clear ing away the rubbish both by night and by day. Thy road is expected to be made passable in a day. or two, when the trains will resume their running. Mean while passengers are passed over the slip, by means of a raised platform on one side the cutting, 'sheltered by an awning, which causes about a ten minutes' deten tion of the train. The passengers thus meet with no inconvenience, and we understand that many of them have personally expressed their thanks to Charles Hut ton Gregory, Esq., the Company's engineer, for the kind precautions which he has taken to ensure their comfort. lIAMBURGH AND BERLIN RAILWAY. The several Governments interested have, says the Journal of Commerce, agreed to the construction of this line, which is to join on to the Hamburgh and Bergedorf Railway, already completed. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. On Monday evening a stoppage of one of the trains for a short time took place by the breaking of an axle, near Harrow, but no other inconvenience than the delay ensued.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES. Nov. 27.—A gentleman, calling himself John Adams, Esq., has been levying heavy contributions on numerous tradesmen in London, and other parts ; he addressed his letters from Oak Cottage, Cowes (where he was not known), and stated that he was recommende , l by members of the Royal Yacht Squadron to Lo . .d„„ merchants for wine, but as the parties he applier' , to were not in the habit of supplying the Royal Yacl: l4 i uadron, they came to Cowes, and inq u ir e d f or ivr . , e : A., ) q who not being known at Oak .

Two splendid silk dresses were taken from the coach-office by the prisoner, the boxes addressed to Colonel Hill ; he had a gold watch by Webster, a valuable mourning-ring and a diamond-ring, inclosed in a casket ; he, of course, wore spectacles, and had a lady with him, whom he called his wife. Great praise is due to the Secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron for his exertions to detect and expose this gentleman's proceed ings. Independent of the nuanber of articles arriving at Southampton for Col.

In the course of the morning, his Honour intimated that he would sit in his private room on Wednesday, to hear the case of a ward. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 29. ROSS V. CLIFTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff as proprie tor of certain cottages in St. George's-place, Pocock's fields, Holloway, to recover compensation for injury done to the premises, in consequence of the erection of a school-house immediately in the rear of No. 8, by which the drainage was prevented, and the washhouses or kitchens were caused to smoke very much. The case had been under the consideration of a Jury once before, and was now again submitted to them for the purpose of ascertaining whether any and what damage had been occasioned by the erection of the building in question. Mr. Sergeant Shea appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Thesiger for the defendant. James Tomset, the tenant, of No. 8, was first examined, and proved the injury done to the house by the erection of the school-house in the rear. The wash-house smoked so much that they could not keep a fire in it, and the walls were extremely damp from the water being turned upon the roof instead of being allowed to run into the ditch as formerly. He was a weekly tenant, and had been residing for some time in the house. The putting up of chimney pots did not cure the smoke. Charles Fear—l am a builder in the Holloway-road. I know St. George's-place for thirty years. The land belonged to Mr. Cooper before Mr. Ross's houses were built there. The land to the south, where the school house is built, is called Pocock's-fields, and was sepa rated by a hedge and an open ditch. The water flowed through it from west to east, and emptied itself into a public dam running towards Holloway. I recollect the hedge being grubbed up by Mr. Pocock's orders, and a wall was put in its place. Mr. Pocock was succeeded in the possession of that land by Mr. Elliot. He built the eight houses, and the wall was built upon as the back of the houses. I recollect the school-house bein r ,e• built ad joining No. 8. The school-house wall was built five or six feet above the wash-house chimney of No. 8. I went in 1838 to look at it by Captain Ross's orders. The place was full of smoke, and nobody could remain in it. I put two pots on the old chimney, and raised it as high as the wall. The wet also came through the house, in con sequence of the spouts being turned. I undertook to make the alterations that would cure the smoke and the water for 251. About 51. would set the chimney right. I found that raising the chimney with the pots did not pre vent the smoking. George's wall—l am a bricklayer. I know St. ',rtge's-ace about thirty-six years.

The fire in the kit c h en much in consequence of a school-house wall m e being above the chimney. Thomas Lye—l am a builder, and know the horse ; in question. The evidence of this witness was similar to that of those previously examined. Joseph Archer was employed to build No. 8, and the others of Mr. Boss's houses. He built them for Mr. Elliott, and used the wall running along the ditch to build upon. The houses drained into the dit ch — that from the roof went over the wall with a shoot, or spout, an d the lower drainage went through the wall. Deeds of lease and release from Pocock to Elliott, and from Elliott to plaintiff; were put in and read. Mr. THESIGER then adddressed the Jur y for the de fendant. It had been alleged on the other side that the erection of the school-house was a wanton and gratui tous piece of mischief on the part of the defendant, but there was nothing whatever disclosed by the evidence to justify so unwarrantable an assertion. He did not know what possible motives the trustees of the school-house, which was a charitable institution, could have' had in acting in such a manner. The plaintiff complained of an injury to his reversionary interest, and alleged that the damage had been such that his property was de teriorated in value, but it had been shown that the same tenant still held the house at the same rent, although he ' THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1841 might et anY time have quitted at a week's notice. That et.tainly would show that the injury, if any, had been of a very trifling nature. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon the injury that had been shown by the evidence to have been done to the premi ses ; if the raising of the school-house wall had occa sioned the smoke s the putting up of the pots, by which the thitiitity was raised above the wall, must have put an end to the nuisance, and the whole damage _done amounted to is. 6d., the sum paid tt tlie Witness War ren. He would show f'dftner that the wall upon which the sehetl-tionse was built, was not the wall of the plaintiff. - - - Lord DENMAN—Although you heAre a right to build upon the wall, yet if yoit Occasion injury to your neigh bour you must compensate him. • Mr. THESIGER contended that unless, as in the case of windows, the plaintiff had acquired a right by twenty years, he could not claim compensation. Lord DENMAN did not think it required twenty years usor to entitle a man to have his house habitable. It differed from the case.of stopping up windows, inasmuch as it was a positive injury Mr. THESIGER said there was another view of the case in which the question was cf some importance. It was clear that the wall was a party wall, and if the de fendant had used it under the Building Act, the plaintiff could not recover unless, under the 100th section of:that Act; he had given previous notice, and unless he brought his action within three months. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon the other parts of the case, and submitted that the defendant was entitled to the verdict of the jury. - Mr. Barnard, a surveyor, was examined as to the po sition of the hedge and ditch. • said the land on which the-houses were built could never have drained into the ditch as it is much lower than the 4401, John Elliot—l purchased the land in which the cottages were built from Pocock, and sold it in 1832 to the plaintiff. I b u ilt t h e e i g h t cottages w hi c h plaifftiff now holds. I applied to Laycock ' the owner of the wall, to use it, an d I got hi s consent by payinß for half of it. He stipulated that I should not drain into the ditch, but into Pocock's land. I built the cottages two at a time. I drained from the roof down upon the . washhouse, and thence into a cesspool upon the premises. I cut holes through the wall into the ditch as a tempo rary measure, but I did not obtain Laycock's consent to do so, nor was he aware of it. I never represented to plaintiff that I bought the wall, It was Laycock's wall.' Thomas Stein, a surveyor s examined the wall at . the back of plaintiff's cottaqe& and was of opinion that it was a party wall. His oplmon was founded upon the manner, in which the wall was used in building the cottage& The wail was fourteen inchei thick, and the houses had been built upon nine inches of it, -- The Foreman of the jury here intimated that they were satisfied that the wall was a party wall, and that it was unnecessary to call further witnesses. - Mr. Sergeant Sura then replied, and Lord DiiNMA.N having summed up, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. creditors. lie then left Leeds to avoid being arrested at the suit of a creditor for 41. 10s., who had offered to take a composition of 10s. in the pound. At the time he left Leeds he had El. to take him to London, where he was soon afterwards arrested. Mr. WOODRUFFE addressed the Court in aggravation of judgment. and contended that the insolvent was ar rested by a friend, for the purpose of enabling him to pass throngli the Cotirt. 1e Must have been dishonest, for he left Leeds with more than three times the amount of the sum for which he was sued. 2'he Learned COMMISSIONER said, in the present state pf the case he would not pass judgment on the insolvent, bUt enotigli had beeti elicited to induce him to state that when be did, the judgment of the Court should be a very strong one. He should adjourn it to the 17th of January, and, in the meantime let the attorney prepare a new special balance sheet, circumstance of her being at that time near her confine- meat the judgment of the Court was respited. The Learned Recorder then sentenced her upon the former indictment, and. said that taking into consideration the fact of the prisoner having been confined only a fortnight, and the further circumstance of her already having been in prison for three months, that sentence would be a light one. The sentence cf the Court was that for that offence she be further imprisoned for the term of fourteen days, to commence at the expiration of the former sentence. The Learned RECORDER then gave directions that the surgeon's report should be made to the Court, in order to ascertain if the prisoner was in a fit state for the addition to the sentence of hard labour. NEW COURT. _ Moses Hunt was indicted for stealieg, and John Row land for receiving, with a guilty knowledge, two nose bags, containing a quantity of oats, the property of Tho mas Johnson. The prisoner Rowland pleaded guilty. The property was missed .by the prosecutor, and he, suspecting the prisoners, had their houses searched, and the bags and corn were found upon the premises. The Jury at once found the prisoners Guilty. The two prisoners were then severally sentenced to live months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. John Farrell, a young man of respectable appearance and connexions. was brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, before Alderman Copeland, charged with having stolen two 301. Bank of England notes. ye. Walton, the solicitor to the London and West minster Wank, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. - ;neared for the prisoner. 11op i l r e . r, -nish, Charles lle.

Iss. 6d. drawn by Dougias,...- 4 it tatie paid in and five o'clock on Saturday, and wishes four notes for 101. each, and the rest in motii.. :v. W•itness paid the check. Shortly afterwards a person'p. a check drawn by Mr. Rokosky for 60/., and askew two notes of 301. each. Witness went to another clerk in the office to ask a question, and then took from his drawer two 30/. notes, and gave them to the man he supposed they belonged to. Alderman GOPELAND—Do you recollect whether you gave the notes into the hand of the person they belonged to, or placed them upon the counter ? Witness could lilt say. He afterwards paid another check. He saw a person standing at the counter, and asked him what he was waiting for, to Which the person replied, that he was waiting for his two 301. notes. Witness told that person that he had paid him the notes, and was told that he had not done to. -Witness immediately got the numbers of the notes, and went over to the Bank of England to make the necessary inquiry, arid found the prisoner there re ceiving money. Mr. William Wybard (a clerk in the Bank of Eng land), stated, that he paid the prisoner sixty sovereigns for two 3a. notes on Saturday evening between four and five o'clock. (Here the bank notes were produced.) Witness had not seen the prisoner before to his recol lection. The name of John Smith was on the back of the notes at the time, and witness told the prisoner to write his name and address (a customary thing) on the I top of the face of the notes, and the prisoner then wrote the name " John Smith, No. 7, Aldgate." Mr. Thomas Phillips (a clerk in the Bank) produced the two . bank notes, which were identified as those paid by the cashier of the London and Westminster Bank to the individual he believed them to belong to. Alderman COPELAND lamented that he was obliged to commit a person who had held a respectable station in thociety. The check paid in the first instance was the pr: ray of the prisoner. He (Alderman Copeland) could nut ;90 that Any reason could be given why a re mand should take. place. There appeared to him to be quite sufficient „ends for committal. He had no idea of sitting in the Chair .1:‘: hear a trial of the case—a rat in . Police Courts. pra&ice . he considered too prevail'. The evidelige VTAS quite enough fel - ,m w ithout the cross-examination and argUrnerits of Counset .2. nd soli " eitors.—The prisoner was then committed fur trial: - - WORSHIP S TREED. John Stoker, an elderly man of respectable exterior, Was charged with having violently assaulted Mr. Wood hatch, a grocer and cheesemonger, in South-side, Vinsbury, The complainant stated that he was formerly on inti mate tents with the prisoner, who was a frequent visitor at his house, but the latter availed himself of the oppor tunities thereby afforded him to engage the affections of his wife, on discovering which he broke off the acquaint ' ance. It having- come to his knowledge, however, that a clandestine intercourse was still carried on between the parties, he sent his wife home to her friends, but con sented to allow her a separate maintenance on condition that she discontinued the disgraceful correspondence. Apartments were taken for her in Brunswick street, Hackney-road, which were furnished at the bxpoiisti of witness, and on Sunday evening he proceeded thither -with a friend, in order to restore to her a necklace wiiieft she had left behind, but he was informed that she had gcrio out to spend the evening. Suspecting that she had an assignation with the prisoner, he resolved to remain in the street till she returned, and after waiting some tin he saw her approach in company with the prisoner, who enter.o the house with her. Witness followed them, rtccompante, by his friend, and finding the prisoner seated in the parlour he began to reproach him for his perfidious con duct, upon which the prisoner got up and immediately knocked him down. Ile then wrested his umbrella from his hand, and beat hitn with it till it broke. The land lady of the house, on hearing the disturbance, called in a policeman, who tiok the prisoner into custody. Police constable N 173 stated that on entering the apartment he found the complainant standing passively in a corner whilst the prisoner was striking at him right and left with his fists. The complainant's nose was bleeding, and he appeared to have suffered severe ill-treatment. His wife was, in the meantime, engaged in a struggle with her husband's friend, whom she had grasped so tightly by the throat, that he was almost strangled. Upon being dragged away she said she did not care a d—n for her husband, but she addressed seve ral endearing expressions to the prisoner, and she was about to give him a parting salute in the street, but wit nets prevented it. Mr. BROUGHTON • said that the prisoner had been guilty of a very violent and unjustifiable outrage, which was greatly aggravated by his previous conduct, as do tailed by the complainant. He should order him to pay a fine of 305., or be committed for one month to the House of Correction.' The fine was paid. CURIOUS TRIAL IN lIOLLAND. A letter of the 19th instant from the Hague notices a prosecution then pending before the Provisional Court of that city, which vi e mentioned some time ago, and which at the present moment excites public curiosity in Holland in the highest degree. It arses out of an im putation of fraudulent bankruptcy against a late manu facturer of Leyden, named Adrian, who in times nest bad received pecuniary assistance from the present King of the Netherlands when Prince of Orange. Adrian has previously been accused of forging the name of the Prince to bills of exchange, and sending them into circulation, having antecedently discounted other bills actually signed by the same personage. In the first prosecution Adrian was said to have escaped because he threatened to inculpate the Prince. This rumour coming to the knowledge of the King, his Majesty was extremely anxious that the new process should be carried on, so that his real share in the transactions of Adrian might be made apparent. Adrian, among other witnesses, demanded that the King should be cited, and even sent him a formal summons. It was, however, the general opinion that his Majesty could not possibly be allowed to appear in Court. From the Handelsblad of Amsterdam we learn that the trial commenced on Friday, when, after the indictment was read, a list of twenty-three witnesses was given in, with several important documents, among which was a letter from M. Van den Bosch, ex-Minister of the Colonies. The Counsel for the defendant intimated that he had also cited tl,ree other witnesseF, one of whom was a valet-de-charnbre, and another a footman of the King. He further stated that he had written to the Pro curcur-General to say that he wished to have the evi. deuce of the King himself, but this having been con sidered as inconsistent, he was obliged to renounce the idea, whereby Adrian was placed in a difficult position. He was accused of not accounting for a sum of 45,000 florins, which he received in the be ginning of 1840 from M. Van den Bosch, which sum, however, Adrian affirmed he had returned to the King. On Slturday the hearing was resumed, and lasted from ten in the morning till four in the after noon, but was entirely occupied with the examina tion of one witness, Mr. J. Montague of Leyden, one of the curators of the bankruptcy, whose evidence confirmed in most part the statements in the in dictment. The proceedings of Monday established the fact of the Kin.. * having drawn upon a respectable firm of Amsterdam far a most enormous sum, and i n th e name of Adrian, who had received in cash the whole of these sums, and remitted them to the King, who w ilt not admit this position, which would save tho accused. It is now a question, in the event even of it being proved that the said Adrian did not remit these sums to the King, what could have induced the latter to lend such an enormous sum of money to a in in of bad re pute, and whose exi:ttence in the city wherein he re sided was, according to the energetical declaration of one of the witnesses, exceedingly enigmatical. A Bayonne Correspondence of the France Me ridionale writes on the 22d:—" The French chasse maree, La Nouvelle Lune, having been driven on shore vvithir_ two gun-shots of Behobia, the Spanish authorities de manded the usual dues in such cases, maintaing that the easel had stranded on Spanish ground. The captain appealed to the Commissary of Marine, who, seeing that orders 'had beerigiven to the Spani s h t roops to enter on the disp u t e d territory, and . make a seizure of the Nou velle Lune, demanded the aid of the armed force. Two companies were immediately marched from Crogne to Irendaye, to support the detached company in that vil lage, and a brisk firing ensued, which was heard at St. Jean de Luz. The fact is positive, but any further de• tails are wanting. There are fifty men employed at our arsenal in making up 9,0.00,00 ball . cartridges, and it ap pears beyond a ll doubt that five or six regiments will shortly be in this country. The arrival of three regi ments of dragoons and some strong detachments of ar tillery is talked of. The Augsburg Gazette states that the staff of the Austrian army is about to be considerably reduced, beginning with the'Artillery, and that a sytem of great economy is to be adopted in Prussia with regard to the Landwehr. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 29. There were three Special Jury causes in the paper for to-day. !•At the sitting of the Court the Attorney- General v. Tipton was called on. The panel was called, and only seven of the Special Jury answered to their names. Mr. Baron GURNEY inquired of the Sheriff what ex cuse had been made ? The officer said many of them were out of town. Some were excused and others ivere fined. Upon one name being called the Learned Baron inquired who served the summons ? `An Officer—l did, my Lord, on Saturday last. Mr. Baron GURNEY—On Saturday last. How came that irregularity ? Mr. Sheriff Burchell—l gave it in due time to the proper officer. The officer who served the summons said it did not lie in the district of the officer who first got it ; that caused the delay. Mr. Baron GURNEY-It is the duty of the Sheriff to see that the Jury are summoned in proper time. The Jury are fined when they do not appear, and the Sheriff must in this case pay. a penalty of 51. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TIPTON. - This was an information filed against the defendant to recover penalties for a breach of the Excise laws. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared for the Crown, and said he was happy to be enabled to state that in consequence of an arrangement entered into between himself and his Learned Friend Mr. Kelly, who was counsel for the defendant, his Lordship's time, and that of the Jury, would be saved. His Learned Friend had consented that a verdict should pass against him for 4,0001. for duties, and upon two counts for penalties of 5001. each.—The verdict was entered accordingly. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WARLD. The defendant in this case was formerly a supervisor in the Excise. The Crown sought by this information to recover from him four penalties of 5001. each, for that (as was alleged) he disho nes tly co ll u d e d with the de fendant in the formercase, in order to keep certain glass made on the premises of the latter from charge, and thereby defrauded the revenue. From the evidence which was adduced it appeared that in 1837 and 1838 the defendant was supervisor in Liver pool, and his duty as such led him to attend the Old Swan Glassworks. He ought to have gone at unknown periods in order to have checked the books of the officer, but in place of that, it was given in proof that he was daily on the premises, and superintended the weighing himself ; in fact, that he performed the duty of the officer. The weighing was not performed ho nestly, and the defendant was content to take the weights from a man in the employment of the Company. It was further proved that the whole of the glass made was not put into the scale. In November, of the latter year, the officer under the defendant gave information, and on one day in that month the Collector of Customs went to the premises, just after the defendant had weighed the glass for that day. He was making up his books. The Collector asked to see the glass, but was told it had gone to the cutting•room, and was mixed with the others. He went to the cutting-room and found such was not the case. He insisted upon its being pro duced, which was then done, and on being put into the scale was found to weigh 401Ibs. more than it appeared to do by the defendant's books. It was also proved that both he and the officer often went to public-houses with servants of the .Company, and that the bills for what was supplied were paid by the Company. The Jury found a verdict for the Crown. ' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would be content to enter the verdict on one count only.—Verdict taken ac cordingly for 5001. The Attorney-General, Sir Thomas Wilde, and Mr. Jervis, were Counsel for the Crown ; Mr. Humfrey and Mr. C. Jones appeared for,the defendant. CONSISTORY COURT, Nov. 29. VARTY AND NOPSEY V. NUNN. Dr. LUSHINGTON, at the sitting of the Court this morning gave judgment in the Hackney Church-rate case, which has excited so much public attention. The Learned Judge said, before he proceeded to &liver his opinions as to the admissibility of the allegation in this case, he wished to inquire of the Counsel whether he had rightly comprehended the objections taken to the libel, and whether they had included all the objections in their arguments ; for he had upon the narrow examination which the facts, as put together, allowed him to make, found it a matter of extreme difficulty to ascertain the objections intended to be raised against the Church-rate in question. According to his conception of the case, the first objection was, that the rate had been made by the churchwardens, whereas it ought to have been made, by the trustees ; secondly, that the rate was invalid, be cause it ought to have been made over the whole parish, and not upon a part only as divided ; thirdly, that no no tice had been given ; and fourthly, that the rate was in valid, because the churchwardens had, or might have had, funds in hand. .Were those all the objections ? Dr. BAYFORD believed that they were. Dr. LUSDINGTON then said he was about to consider whether the allegation which had been offered in this case on behalf of the party cited was sufficient answer, or any answer at all, to the libel given in. The suit was brought by persons representing themselves as the churchwar dens of St. John's, Hackney, and the libel was in the common form in such cases. Assuming the facts to be true, the rate was legal, and the defendant was bound to pay the same when assessed.. But defendant had offered this allegation in defence of his refusal to do so. The plea was two-fold—one part denying the averments in the libel, and the other part avoiding them. He must, according to the well known rule, first assume the facts to be true, and then determine whether, if true, they would form a good defence to the suit. The first objection was, that by ♦irtue of the local act of George the Third, the rate ought to have been made upon the whole of the ancient parish. Now to dispose of this part of the question, it was necessary to look at the law prior to 1790. The whole of Hack ney then formed one parish, in which was situated the ancient parish church, which the inhabitants were bound to repair by the common law of England. It was not the Ecclesiastical law which imposed such bur thens. The principle was recognised by all the com mon law authorities, by Lord Coke. and before his time in the reports. But by Lord Coke's and all the authorities which ever had existed down to the time of Chief Justice Tyndal, the Judges of the Ecclesiastical Courts and the Judges of the Exchequer Chamber, all were agreed upon this point. The principle was fur ther recognised by various statutes from the time of Edward the First down to the present day. It was indeed recognised by every Act of Parliament touch ing the collection of Church-rates. The legal obligation to repair the church was then approved. This then was the common law of the land, which could only bo altered by Act of Parliament. The question was, whether the local Act altered the common law of the land, which he was of opinion it did not, although there was a great want of clearness and specific enactment upon the sub ject in all the local enactments which had been passed. He was also of opinion that it did not lie with the trus tees to repair the church ; indeed it was impossible that that burthen could be placed upon the trustees. It did riot come within the principle intended to be applied. lie then went through all the points of the case, and concluded by rejecting the allegation—thus deciding upon the validity of the rate. INSOLVENT' DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 29. RE DAVID H. TARBOTTOM. The insolvent in this case was a miller and corn dealer near Leeds, and his application to be discharged was opposed by Mr. Woodrutfe, on behalf of .31r. Thos. Freeman, an extensive corn-dealer and farmer, and several other creditors. It appeared by the examination of the insolvent, that he had in the month of March executed a bill of sale in favour of a relation named Saunderson, giving him com plete power over all his stock in trade, furniture, &c. some short time afterwards he got wheat from the op posing creditor to the amount of 119/., and from several other persons to the amount of 5001. or 600/. ; immedi ately after which Saunderson put his bill of sale in f o rce, and swept away all the property, amongst which was the property he got from th e oppos i ng and other itt noorns, The insolvent was a wholesale atraW-Oait and I3onnet manufacturer, residing in Brighton. He applied on his petition to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. Coolie for A . intsrs, Barford and Meakham,• for Tuscan straw, and other articles connected with his trade, sup plied to the insolvent. The ground of the Learned Counsel's opposition was the suppression of the books containing his trade etitfitA, Several witnesses having been called, who deposed to the fact of having seen more books with the insolvent than those he handed into Court, Mr. Commissioner L A W said h e considerki fact . ?f the insolvents wilfully suppressing his books to be rei.: made out. The longest term of remand which the law allowed for this serious offence was for three years. He should, however, only remand him for twelve calendar months froth the date of his testing ordcr, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. This being the first Session of the Central Criminal Court during the present Mayoralty, the Lord Mayor came in State from the Mansion-house at ten o'clock. On his Lordship's arrival the Court was opened with the usual formalities, There were present on the Bench the Right-Honourable the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Sheriff Rogers, Sir Peter Laurie Lainson, the Under Sheriffs, a te. Sir Chftpman Marshall, Mr. Alderman The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. The calendar contained did flames of 10 pelsontes ; and from his experience of the past, he was apprehensive that they might expect that number to be aug mented hi three blinded, anti probably lb exceed it, before the termination. of their labours. lle could not, therefore, hold out to thorn any expectation that their • labours would be either short or light. The calendar contained a number of cases of a most anxious &scrip tion)-t6 tt ftiw Of v6lliciv Ile would briefly advget. i lie would, first, call their attention to a class of cases OF some dt , gree of novelty: •T,herc were two cases of indi vithialS charged with rolonionAly Attempting to destroy themselves. Now, in cases of attempts of that nature it .rarely happened that persons who had been saved from an untimely death, were afterwards made the sub jects of it Criminal peo.teetitldtl, The leniv of the pre siding Magistrate ) before whom such peesotia were brought ) generally induced him to discharge them, but •it was a qitestion whether sitelt IllfigiStfdt6 *Chi not act ing under a misguided judgment, and whether the impu nity with which persons had hitherto been suffered to , escape, had hot op to the commission of the' crime: It it An erated it§ ati eikottragetnent instructive fact, that olthotigh attempts of this nature bad beefs Of feeqtietit Odetifr4tli;ie iii the city of London, yet s ince the M ag istrates had committed these two persons for trial, nut a single attempt of the - sort had been made. Now there could be no doubt but that by law the commission of suicide amounted to a fe lony, and, therefore, any attempt to commit such felony was in law a misdemeanour ; and was punishable as such, and that persons who, in A moment of extitttudnt, 'Bight be induced to attempt suicide, might be restrained from making such attempts by the dread of the disgrace attend • ing a criminal prosecution, and the public exposure conse quent thereupon was abundantly proved by the fact, that since these two persons had been committed for trial twat tempt of the sort had been made within the city of Lon don. There were three charges of manslaughter—one against the driver of an omnibus, in which much con flicting evidence would be laid before them. If in that case they were of opinion that the loss of life resulted from any carelessness on the part of the prisoner, it would be their duty to put the matter in the course of further inves tigation. Another charge of manslaughterwns against a man for occasioning the death of a woman with whom he cohabited through ill-usage, and there was a third case of manslaughter, of a very peculiar character. Two persons, one of whom was a surgeon, were charged with having occasioned the death of a Sheriff's officer who was in possession of the house of one of the defendants, by inducing him to drink immense quantities of' spiritous liquors, and when he was intoxicated to an extent bor dering on apoplexy, sending him out in a cab, and driving him about the town. The man was subsequently found dead in the bottom of the cab. If they should be of opinion that this was merely an attempt to make a man drunk for the purpose . of getting him out of possession, then the case - would assume a different character; but if they were of opinion that the prisoners, one of whom, it was to be recollected, was a medical man, were aware that the immense quantities of liquor they were administering must necessarily en.• danger the man's health, then it would be their duty to send the case before a Petty Jury. There was one person charged with the atrocious crime of murder, alleged to have been committed by the prisoner on the child of a woman with whom he cohabited. The child had been found with its features crushed, the accused stated that it was the result of ac cident—on the other side there was evidence that the party in question had used violence towards the child, and the instrument supposed to have been employed was stated to have been a hammer. If they had reason to suppose that any such instrument had been used, it would be their duty to. put the case in the course of further inquiry. There were three cases of forgery, one of them, an ordinary case, of th e f orgery o f a bill o f exchange. The other two cases were those of persons charged with forging and uttering Exchequer bills. The Act of Parliament under which Exchequer bills were is sued was the 4th and sth, William IV., cap. 15. By the 26th section of that Act it was enacted that all Exche quer bills should be made, prepared, and issued, by the Comptroller-General of the Exchequer acting under the direction of the Commissioners of the Treasury, and that such bills should be made out and prepared in the office of the said Comptroller, in such manner as the Com. missioners of the Treasury may from time to time di rect. The Act then went to confirm the regulations relating to the issue of Exchequer bills, enacted by the 48th of George the Third, cap. 1, except so far as the same should be altered by that Act. It was enacted that all such bills should be signed by the Comptroller-General, or by his assistant in his name. The 28th section provided for the, punishment of per sons convicted of perjury, ,or uttering any warrant or document for the payment of money on any Exchequer It would be necessary to go at some length into theuP 4 rbVisions of 48th George 111. By the 2d section the bills were directed to be made out and signed by the auditor. The 3d section directed that they should be numbered arithmetically : the 4th section directed the course to be pursued in the payment of the bills, and that the party paying them in should write his name on the back of them. By the 7th section the bilis were to be prepared with checks, indents; and coun terfoils, under the direction of the Commissioners of the Treasury. Such books of checks, indents, and counterfoils to be in the custody of the auditor for e convenience of reference, and for the purpose of check ing such bills when they should be presented for pay ment: By the 9th section the forgery of Exchequer bills was declared to be felony without benefit of clergy. The capital punishment had, by a subsequent statute, been reinoved, and that of transportation for life, or for a shorter period of imprisonment for a term not exceed ing a time specified in the Act, substituted in its place. So that the forging Exchequer bills, or uttering them knowing them to be forged, was now a felony punishable with transportation. The Act had provided certain checks to prevent an improper issue of Exchequer bills. In the present instance, one of the parties charged was represented as being a clerk actually employed in part of the process of making Exchequer bills previous to their issue, and the other party was represented as cognisant of the character filled by him, and yet receiving the bills from his hand, so that the alleged forgeries were represented as - . passing directly from the hands of a person em pl o y e d m the Exchequer office into the hands of the other party, who, it appeared was made out as admitting that he had received these Exchequer bills from an officer of the Exchequer, with out any consideration. That the one had issued them was not denied, and with regard to the other party, they would have to consider what were the circumstances which could induce - a stranger, without the pay ment of any consideration, to -- receive from a clerk in the Exchequer Bill-office a large amount of Ex chequer bills ; whether it was posSible he could consider such bills had been issued in due course, when he found himself receiving from a clerk in the Exchequer, of limited salary, Exchequer bills amounting to several thousand pounds. lle perhaps had entered too fully into the circumstances of the case, but he had done so because the base was altogether one of an extraordinary character, • and • the fact of being found in possession of the forged instruments, which, under ordinary circumstances would not, perhaps, be of much Weight, might, when it was known that these bills had been issued by a clerk in the Exchequer Bill-office, had been received from him without the payment of any consideration by the person in whose possession they were found, lead to a strong inference that such person must, when uttering them, have been aware that such bills could not h ave b een fairly come b y. If suc h s h ou ld he their opinion, it would be their duty to send the case before th e P etty Jury, in order •that i t m i ght have the fullest investigation. The Learned RECORDER having finished his charge, the Grand Jury retired to their rooni. (13' RECORDER.) the Ecoannu.) Ann Parsley was indicted for stealing twelve yards of mouseline de laine, and:a quantity of lace, amounting in value to 4/. '35. ad., the property of John Redburn, under false pretences. The prisoner went into the shop of the prosecutor and .represented herselfas the servant of one of his customers, and obtained the articles named in the indictment. It appeared that the prisoner had formerly been in the service of the person she represented, but had left that service some time ago. The prison er , who was a good-looking young woman, apparently about twenty-two years of age, and who held an infant in her arms, said in her defence that she was driven to the commission of the offence by distrese. The Jury at once found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

The expose of this man's pretensions to perpetual abstinence from food, and his committal to Reading Goal, have produced a great sensation, both 'here and in the metropolis. We should here state that some portion of his food was missing, in the early part of the week, but he de clared that he gave it to his companion, Tiernan, which the latter admitted, bet his testimony is not free from the suspicion of collusion. Up to yesterday (Friday) he had eaten nothing discoverable, but a small quantity of water had been taken out of the allowance left by the turnkey. It must be very obvious to persons at all acquainted with the process of digestion and secretion that the real mystery of Cavanagh's case was not in the extraordi nary length of time he could abstain from food, but in the alleged fact that neither of the ordinary human evacuations was to be discovered, although the frame appeared in a healthy condition. There is also the startling circumstance that, while abstinence may be a voluntary act, the other processes are iuvoluutary, and, for any length of •time, uncontrollable. Yesterday, how ever, dispelled this part. of the mystery. Cavanagh was observed, after chapel, engaged in washing his hands near the water-butt, and with great adroitness took that opportunity of disguising a fact to which we need not mere partieulatly allude, but which has de stroyed any further chance of reviving his imptgture. The deputy governor and assistant surgeon were in formed of the suspicions entertained, and, causing his dress to be examined, were satisfied there could be no further doubt on the subject. Cavanagh still reused to take food, but we have good reasons fir believing. that he will net continue to refuse over a certain num ber of days, when his powers of abstinence become exhausted. We are firmly persuaded that this man has really a -seat power of endurance, that he can abstain from food 'b • sut inconvenience, for a much longer period than '1 that he has a strongly-retentive power. But ._ usua l ,a as s' " convinced that, not satisfied with being e q" 1 " -uriosit be or his managers have a physiology • ) Imposture on his physical capabi grafted a scandairsai . himself, though a shallow lilies, and that he :1. the deception, and anxious, dupe, perfectly aware at keep it up te the utmost. both from vanity and avarice, L• morbid, morbid, sympathy, for We hear much well-meaning, isms :o . , Ttentled miraculous w this man ; but when e read his intercourse with cures in Manchester, his allegeC nation of sa spiritual beings, and the disgusting pr'sge cried things, intermingled with his fasting p formances, and . all subservient to the collection of neeks'Yt we think the strong and stern arm of the law judicts'uslY ,exereised in terminating so nauseous an imposture. e There can now remain but little of interest in the further development of this fellow's proceedings. We should have advocated leniency to him as the crazy dupe of his own imagination, or of the sordid gang who made a profit of his exhibition ; but when we recollect the consciousness of imposition he manifested, in disguising his person while pureteasing food, and in the last circumstance, which we cannot .so con v e ni e n t l y demonstrate, we think his sentence deserved, and his treatment quite good enough for a convicted pretender.

In Hamburgh wo find the current wages of able-I sedied workmen from 9s. to 14s. a week. These are n pt the wages of skilful mechanics, nor of men employ rid at piecework or for a few weeks now and then, bu .t men employed all the year round at fixed wages. In 4 u gar refineries in Hamburgh, all workmen receive their b Gard and lodging, and about 6s. a week in additie.n. In If am burgh, let it be remembered, we have stated,...more 1 han once, that meat costs ,boat half what it costs in Lon( on. Our correspondent assures le: we have rather Orersits ted the Hatnbugh price. The I d, which Gera . tan ryt, rta labourers eat i n p re ference to wlie.. ~ ten bread, cost the Hamburgh lid p er lb. Th e w h ea ten bre ad is for t most part very nearly as dear in Germany , e s in Engles id This is because the people at large consume r,: it little c , it, and what is consumed there is mostly sold in t fonts of what in this country would be called fancy beea In the interior of Germany we find provisions cheapt and wages lower. At Berlin, rye bread is sold at hi. pound ; the best wheaten bread at 21d. a pound ; bee at 4d.- - ; mutton at 3p. ; and the wages of able-bodice men range from 7s. 6,1. to 9s. a week. At Leipsie is. ed. are the averege wages of able-hadied labourers, and the prices of food arc nearly the same as at Berlin. We have returns likewise from Kiel, Breslau, Konigs berg, and Hanover, at which places the average wages are a trifle lower than at Leipsic, but food of every t;e scription considerably cheaper. It is not only bread and meat that are cheaper, but all the little luxuries of t he p oor, s uch as tea, coffet tobacco, &c., are inc om p arabl y cheaper.
