Guildhall, London. EIGHT FIRES AT. NORWICH Have recently been extinguished by SHALDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE ENGINE. (THE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR). These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately Where they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their Whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with %alerting certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought hato action. If the engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and the delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with the other hand; it will show bow furiously, steadily, and irre sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the terrific foe. Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s. esch. N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine uon a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent rarish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli vering at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per hour. But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of The best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not 15 barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the flames would have gained the ascendancy. London is a century Alaind Norwich in Hydraulie Machines. See "THE Sow" paper, July 10, 1841, and "Norwich Mercury," March 5, 1842, where all my inveterate opponents are alarmed, hepfallen, and laughed at, for they dare not even try to obtain the 1001. reward offered. " Because dame Nature has entered her imperative caveat thus !" SHALDERS' PUMP SHALL NEVER BE SURPASSED, which is now practically proved to be the only effective, invariable water elevator in existence, and when well carried out the most durable pump in the world. It stands work as well for lifts sbove as below 100 feet, and it would be strange indeed if it lid not, as a good Connector (of a Fountain Pump) will sustain a. pressure of 50 atmospheric whilst less than a quarter of that pressure would deliver water rapidly 365 feet high, or over St. Paul's-cross, London. W. SHALDERS. Hydraulic-street, Norwich, June 18, 1842. REMARKS BY EMINENT MEN UPON THE IN VENTION—SEPARATELY AND JOINTLY. SEPARATELY.—" The Fountain Pump is free from the de tect' and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a Perfeet hydraulic machine."—Dr. Birkbeck.—" Shalders has copied Nature, and arrived at perfection."—Ebedour.— " This pump is free from friction and leakage, and is not liable to choke."--Hay, Civil Engineer.—" This is Tux Pump." •-..Partington. JO I NTLY.—" The Fountain Pump is the most important haprovement in the art of raising water, that has appeared Within the last 2,000 years. It is the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the Preservation of life and property frost fire and water to an ex tent beyond calculation." SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP. At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor- Wich, April 2Sth, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con gratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked, that although the water delivered by the fo rmer Pum p was com. Monly cloudy, that delivered by the presen t one has been uni formly clear, and raised with half the labour. (Signed) GEORGE IVES, WM. WOODROW, H. J. STEEL, Churchwardens in 1841, 1842. Norwich, Saturday, May 23, 1842. 13t1TCHER and SON beg to return their most grateful thanks to those friends and neighbours who so kindly and promptly rendered them their assistance to extinguish the Fire on their Premises on Wednesday last. And the, likewise take this opportunity particularly to re commend Mr. Shalders' Portable Fountain Engine, which was fouad so efficient in preserving their premises from total de struction. Qseen•street, MaY 26. REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE " NORFOLK CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES AFTER THE FIRE:— " About half-past one o'clock on W edn e s da y mornin g the p rem i ses o f Hr. B o t c h e r, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered 1 0 be on fire 1w the night watch, whe gave the alarm and called Nr. Butcher sp. It was at first difficult to discover in the da , k what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher thoigrlit that it triginated at his neighbour's house, but going ap to the top othis premises he perceived where it was ; when he cam e down aid opened the do or of his store-room over the hack part of his slop, the fire and smoke but st forth so violently that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the ire had originatedin this store-room directly over a paper loft, lut how, it is impo , ible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from. over the Way, immediately irouglit two of his engines, by means of whi c h Mr. Butcherittributes his house being saved ; and per haps the whole su et. for there being . a good deal of gnn powder on the preriiies, had this ignited the consequences Would have been awul. Notwithstanding the natural agita tion occasioned by tie near prospect of danger from fire, Mr. I3utcher himself relieved the gunpowder from the premises, and most of the gods from the warehouse and shop were brought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea Chu rc h. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it Was impossible to bring this into play for some time, as the water was not turned on; but in the meanwhile 21.4. Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother th e other) were supplied with buckets full of water from the pump near at sand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted with much energy ind promptitude. Mr. Steel, Mr. Plummer, Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were snort zealous in then services. In about an hour and a half all danger was removal. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured in the Norwich Eouilable Office. LThe delay whim appears to have occurred in furnishilig the engines with Ovate' on the above alarming occasion, impera vely demands the immediate attention of the proper authori ties. If the New Mills Company's works are the main public guree of supply. sime arrangements should be made for the r*re sure and speidy turning on the water into the pipes; •r the city will soonei or later rue the consequences. J BY THE EDITCR OF TIIE " NORWICH MERCURY." On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire was discovered iivthe house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank by the watclman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose, and after vxaminity hi , premises found it had taken place in a store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being give n , Mr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines, and after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any serious consequences bad taken place. There is not the slightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a great less had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was entirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire wa= so promptly extinguished, it being an hour and ten minutes befor e th e engines cou ld b e got into play ; and at the time the ire was discovered the whole store-room was in flames, for on Mr. Butcher opening the door he was twice knocked down by the sm o k e and throes. but fortunately received no injury. PROPERTIES SAVED BYTHE AORTA A Dwelling House on Elm-hill, the roof on fire, but soon extinguished by the Portable Engine. Mr. Horton's Dyery, twice on fire, the secend time ; the pre mises, with 12,0001. worth of consigned property, must all have alien a sacrifice, had not the Portable Engine, after a long Combat, got th e fire under, which was completely effected ittst before the first common engine made its appearance.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

GLOBE.—The intelligence received this morn ing from the disturbed districts is of a character which will, on the whole, be regarded its satis factory. The large military force now distri buted throughout the principal scenes of actual or threatened outrage, and the generally judi cious and energetic arrangements of the local authorities, have succeeded in awing the insurgents into abstinence from further open outragss. The preservation of property from the extensive destruction that was threatened early in the week, and the truly gra tifying escape from any considerable conflict be tween the military and the mobs—these are sources of satisfaction in which all will partici pate. They relieve the public mind from much of the anxiety so deeply felt at the commence ment of the disturbances; and justify hope that the portentous appearances of determined resistance to authority, which were at first exhibited by the misguided multitudes, will pass away, without any more serious re sults than have already happened. Still there is sufficient to show that the sources of disturbance in many places are not exhausted. Large bodies of the unemployed continue to parade the streets, and assemblages are collected in open spaces in the neighbourhood of the towns, for the purpose of listening to incendiary harangues. It is obvious that the disaffected are only restrained from actual mischief by the vigi lance of the Magistrates, and the presence of a strong civil and military force, ready to act with vigour if occasion call for its employ ment. The force of the tempest has, we have reason to believe, spent itself. What yet re mains will, if prudently dealt with, subside into quietness. The " turn-outs" will gradually be brought to feel the madness of their scheme, and return to their occupations. The Chartists have generally failed in their attempts to induce the workmen to connect their insane demands for " the Charter," with the endeavour to coerce the masters into a compliance with their terms. This is so far satisfactory. The dissatisfied, because deeply distressed and suffering, operatives, have, as a body, resisted the Chartist demagogues, who insidiously used their distressed condition as an argument to induce them to lend their aid in advancing an object which, if ever it be attained—an event we have no reason to appre hend—would bring with it certain anarchy and suffering. The body of those who clamour for the Charter do so, not from any abstract or spe culative affection for universal suffrage, annual , Parliaments, or other of the "six poin ts " which it is made to consist; but because they have been taught—we - think very falsely taught—to regard them as the means of their deliverance from great and real evils. They are suffering under grievous distress, for the relief or allevia tion of which they have looked to the Legislature and to the Government, and they have looked in vain. That there is much of this distress which it is not in the power of their rulers to remove, we most readily admit. It is ridiculous to suppose that it depends on Government, however con stituted, to procure them at all times full em ployment for their labour, and fine seasons to secure abundance of food. But they may think, and honestly ask, that the Legislature should remove the artificial restrictions which it has imposed on the free course of industry, and thus enable them to find a fair market flir it, and a steady supply of the necessaries and comforts which should reward it. STANDARD.—AII the accounts received this morning from the disturbed districts are satisfac tory. I u nearly every place lately the scene of disorder and alarm the mass of the people are cheerfully resuming their work ; and if the coun try is still kept in a state of some anxiety, it is by the more desperate few, who have, in their own opinion, committed themselves too far to hope for amnesty, or by the still fewer profligates, who, having joined the movement solely for the sake of plunder, persist in their original purpose. This is nut what was expected by the movers of the sedition : they knew, indeed, that any great popular movement must in a few days wear itself out (for the subsidies of" the League" would little more than cover the cost oforganisa tion) if the insurgents should not resort to a scheme of wholesale robbery for their support; but they calculated that to such a robbery the insurgents would have recourse. Upon no other hypothesis can their conduct be explained. The people have, however, we rejoice to say, disappointed them. Many have been guilty of rashness and folly, but the number is very small indeed (and generally composed of strangers) who have dis graced themselves by robbery or any other crime of a deep dye. If we could find gratification in any dissolution of the bonds of • order, we might feel gratified at the result of the wicked experiment tried upon the simplicity of our labouring population. The result proves the innate love of justice, and the innate humanity of the English character —when we see men prepared to confront the terrors of the law, in a cause which they have been taught to believe a good one and essen tial to their happiness, still abandon that cause, and place themselves at the mercy of their offended rulers, rather than prolong the contest by means which honesty and huma nity will not approve of: Such a people deserve in their errors that paternal Government that the country happily . possesses in the crisis—a Government for which we predict the singu lar, we believe the unexampled, honour of conquering a rebellion by the mere force of reason and good temper ; a lesson for which mankind may be grateful through all pos terity. , We speak this confidently, because we are . k satisfied that the rebellion, such as it has been, is already at an end, although here and there we must anticipate partial disorders. The suffrages of the manufactur ing population have been fully taken, however rude and irregular the process of taking them, and the suffrages of the great majority are already given for peace; so that peace we shall have, in defiance of the ill humour of the discontented minority. But how is a re eurrence of such calamities as the late explosion to be obviated? Every one's common sense will reply, by first punishing with calmness, but with impartiality and rigour, the immediate authors of the mischief; next, by providing, as far as possible, against the condition of the people, which has exposed them to be the dupes of such incendiaries. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Aug. 20. IN RE JOHN PEIRCE. The insolvent in this case, had been partly heard on Monday last, came up again to'-day. Ike was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and supported by Mr. Creswell. The facts of the case have been already made public. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER , ex amination of the insolvent an d hi s attorney, said the o after the insolvent's evidence seemed t o be g iven with candour, but still there was strong suspicion of a fraudulent disposition of property. For the reasons already assigned he should order the case to stand over until Mr. Buchanan's costs were taxed. - THE " COURIER " N EWS PAPER.-IN THE MATTER OF CH:iRLESr aowcnoFT. Mr. Cooke applied in this case for the appointment of an assignee. The insolvent was editor and part proprietor of the late Courier newspaper. The pre sent application, on Friday, after the hearing of the cases, the Learned Counsel made the application on the part of a Mr. Walton, who had been recommended to the office by creditors to the amount of 3,7471., out of creditors to 6,0001. The Chief COMMISSIONER said he recollected Mr. Rowcroft had said his insolvency arose from the fall ing state of the paper. Mr. Cooke remarked that it had now fallen into the Globe. It appeared that some of the credit Ors held shares in the Courier, which, Mr. Cooke said, were of no value. Chief COMMISSIONER—Upon my word great things were expected of the Courier at one time. The Com assignee. missioner appointed Mr. Walton POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. HOUSEBREAKING.—John Slora was placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, this morning, charged with breaking into the house of M. Ibbison, of Nicholas-lane. _ Adam Gozard, police-officer 476, deposed that he was on duty at one o'clock this morning in Nicholas lane, and he saw a light in the bar of the house oc cupied by Mr. Ibbison. He listened at the door and heard a noise as of a person breaking open a drawer. On proceeding to a back-door he found it open. He went into the bar and the light was immediately put out. Witness then, with another policeman, took him into custody. A box containing tobacco was found upon him, and a silk handkerchief. Mrs. Ibbison swore to the articles found on the prisoner. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he was committed for trial. ROBBERY or AN EMPLOYER.--A boy named Wheel, who had been formerly in the service of Messrs. Oppenham and Co., was charged with having stolen a K reat quantity of squirrel skins, the property of the firm ; and two men, named Williams, alias Sidney Smith, and Radhins, and two women, named Guillarn and Harrill, were charged with having urged the boy to the commission of the robbery. It was quite evident that the boy was encouraged to steal by the men and women at the bar, who had been seen upon various occasions waiting in the street for him when he was believed to have been carrying on that system. The proofs, however, were not strong enough in the opinion of the Alderman in justifying him in committing them, a circumstance which he regretted sincerely. The men and women were, therefore, discharged. The boy was committed for trial. --- ----- EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.—Herman Geiger, a wine merchant, of Manchester, who was apprehended by John Forrester, was brought up for re-examination, charged with having defrauded Mr. Hart, an exten sive wine-merchant in the City. The prisoner, who was stated by Mr. Hart to have plundered tradesmen in the neighbourhood of Mark-lane of goods and money to the amount of 16,0001., had been assisted in his schemes by a man o f th e n ame of Benjamin Dickinson, by whom the names of certain parties were written upon bills. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr . . Humphrey for the defendant. Bail was, after so me di scuss i on , taken in two sureties of 1001. for th e appearance of the prisoner to answer any charge th a t s h ou ld b e b ro ught against him at the Central Cri m i na l Court. THE RIVAL ISLINGTO N O MNIBES SES.—CompIaint was made by Wilson, the omnibus proprietor, against Coulson, of the - same trade. Wilson's coachman stated that he had first taken up a passenger at the corner of Hereford-street, when Coulson's omnibus drove at a rapid rate against the near horse of the former, and did the poor animal dreadful injury. A great deal of altercation took place between the whips ; but Alderman Gibbs ended it by fining Coul son's coachman 20s. and costs, and dqclared that the act by which the horse was woun d e d was most wanton and cruel. GUILDHALL. TEARING DOWN PROCLAMATIONS.—CharIes Wil son was put forward charged with going about last night for the purpose of tearing down from the walls the proclamations issued in the City by the Lord Mayor. A City policeman deposed that he was passing along the Old Bailey, when he saw the defendant c ome out of a public house, and deliberately tear down the proclamation which had just been posted against as he had accomplised this, h threw wall. hup his As soonhat,and cried out, " Hurrah for liberty !" and witness took hi m i n t o cus t o dy. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was very sorry a nd would not offend again.—He was discharged. IMPORTANT DECISION. W m . Mason, a respectable looking lad, was brought before the Court by Police Serjeant No. 301, at the instance of Mr. Robert Peterborough-court, Fleet as an apprentice. Mr. Paris stated that the youth had been his ap prentice for three years, and boarded with his parents, who live in the neighbourhood. The agreement was Fleet street, a focrb to pay him 4s. a week the first year, and increase it i ls. yearly, until the seventh year. The lad would not act upon his orders, for yesterday he desired him to fetch two cane chairs from a place, and he said he did not come there to be a porter, and refused to go. Mr. Alderman Humpunny—Pray, Sir, what pre mium did Tou receive with him? Mr. Paris.-401. Alderman HustPumtv—Then I think • . ou ought not to demand of him to do the work of a porter I'll hear what the youth has to say. The lad admitted that he did refuse, but it was because he was always selected from the other ap prentices to go on errands; he did not mind going out in his turn. Mr. Paris denied the correctness of this statement, and wished to call his foreman, but he was not allowed. After a conference between- the complainant and the Alderman, the latter told young Mason that he would go back with his master, an d he (Alderman II.) had no doubt but some arrangement would be made so as to prevent a future misunderstanding. BOW-STREET. enot T examination of various persona connected with the late Chartist meetings , ha s continued the greater into a specification of g pa iv r e t o t f h t e hisday day.

Thomas Slerun pulling down her Majesty's proclamation ; discharged. Within a few days two cases have been investi gated by the sitting Magistrates at this Court, which, for some reason or other, have been conducted with the greatest possible secresy, the proceedings having taken place in the Magistrates' private room, in the absence of every person except those immediately con cerned. Of the two cases the following brief particulars we have every reason to believe to be correct : The first case, in which the Marquis ofConyngham was the complainant, and a pawnbroker (whose name we could not ascertain) residing in Oxford-street, was the defendant, was heard on the 10th ult. The defendant was called upon to show cause how he became possessed of, and why he detained, a casket of jewels of the estimated value of 2,0001., the property of his Lordship. The affair was first brought under the notice of the Magistrate about a week previous, and on each occa sion Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Petersdorff attended as counsel for the respective parties. From the statement of the Noble Marquis, it ap peared that the property in question consisted of a diamond star of the value of 1,0001., a necklace worth 6001., a pair of earrings 3001., and other articles of minor value; they were all safe at his residence at Richmond a short time before they were missed, and information was subsequently received that they were in the possession of the defendant. The defendant at once admitted that the articles in question were in his possession, and that he received them in the regular course of his business, and had' advanced upon them a fair and reasonable sum. He at the same time stated that he could identify the person who pledged the property with him, and ex pressed his willingness to do so whenever called upon. Under such circumstances the Magistrate did not consider himself called upon to make any order respecting the restoration of the property, and the Learned Counsel having expressed themselves satisfied with the explanation given, the affair terminated. The parties then retired by the Magistrates' pri vate entrance. _ The second case alluded to was heard on Thursday last, and was a charge of assault preferred by a grocer, residing in Drury-lane, against a young female of the name of Jane Priest. Mr. Bodkin attended on behalf of the complainant. The defendant had been in the service of the com plainant, and a particular intimacy it appeared had existed between them for some time, which at length ended in the defendant becoming a mother, and she was consequently removed from the house. Shortly after, the complainant took unto himself a wife, which of course had the effect of stopping the visits of the defendant to her late master's ; at length having be come quite destitute, she entered the shop with her child in her arms, in the hope that some relief would be afforded her, when high words were used, and the complainant, attempting to eject her from the shop, in order to prevent his customers taking notice of the circumstance, she lifted her hand, and slapped his face. The defendant admitted having struck the com plainant, and alleged that he owed (her a considerable sum for wages, which she could not obtain, neither could she gel any thing from him for the support of her child. Mr. Twyroun, considering that the assault had been proved, ordered the defendant to find bail to answer any charge which might be preferred against her at the sessions, and to keep the peace towards the complainant in the interim. of the balloon, we must have encountered great diffi culty, in consequence of the alarm and astonishment of the peasantry near us, who ran in every direction but towards us. After remaining at anchor some time, and the balloon, by the escape of gas, having ceased its, to them terrific motion, we at length pre vailed on some of the distant gazers to approach us, and we then found them most ready and willing to render every assistance. Shortly after our descent we received an invitation from the Rev. R. Waldy, which we accepted; and, having been refreshed with excellent wine, and entertained with a sumptuous dinner, he furnished us with a carriage to Wareham, where we ob tained a fly, but could not reach Dorchester till near one o'clock, having to wait the return of horses from Weymouth to Wareham. At our greatest elevation we had a most extensive view of the sea and promi nent lands. In the east, St. Alban's-head and the Isle of Wight : in the north-west the whole line of the Devonshire coast; and Portland Bill in the south. On the upper surface of the clouds we observed the same beautiful phenomena which I have often seen— viz., the reflection of the shadow of the balloon, encir cled with a double halo of the most brilliant prismatic colours. In conclusion, I must here beg to acknow ledge with grateful feelings the very kind and marked attention evinced towards me by the worshipful the Mayor, Mr. Charles Bridge, also the kind expressions of approbation passed on me by the Steward of the races, Mr. Thomas Grahame, as well as to Mr. Bow man, chief engineer to the gas works, for the able as sistance he rendered me, and most heartily do I wish prosperity to the inhabitants of the beautiful town of Weymouth. CAPTAIN CURRIE'S ACCOUNT. Having heard 'that Mr. Green was about to make an ascent from Weymouth with the Albion balloon, there not being sufficient gas for the monster of Nas sau, I came down for the purpose, if possible, of ac companying him, and, likewise, revisiting the scenes of my youth, having been quartered at Radipole bar racks, the year after Waterloo, with the 23d Light Dragoons, appointed there shortly after as Lancers. Having made numerous ascents in all sorts of weather, I am capable of judging of the different ap pearances on leaving the earth ; but never did I behold so magnificent and splendid a view as on the ascent from this place : the glorious bay, not sur passed by that of Naples, was charming ; the eve could reach to the Devonshire cliffs on the west, and extend to the Isle of Wight on the east. The day was cloudy and in clined for rain, but at the moment we quitted the earth, the sun shone forth in all its glory, and I am convinced the ascent must have pleased those who did us the honour to look at us, and I rather think they were not a few. From the sun acting upon the bal loon we shot up like a rocket, and were soon above the clouds. It would be impossible to express completely the beauty of the scene, hut suffice it to say, the clouds had the appearance of an interminable ocean of snow. I have before seen the reflection of the balloon on the clouds, but the balloon only ; on this occasion it was surrounded by a double halo, with all the pris matic colours of two rainbows clearly defined. Mr. Green has seen it on several occasions ; I never have been fortunate enough to do so before, and was cer tainly astonished and delighted. We descended in perfect safety, and were most hospitably entertained by the Rev. R. Waldy, who was so kind as to lend us a carriage to convey us towards the point of our ascent. R. W.

SUICIDE BY LEAPING FROM THE MON UMEN T. IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY. A singular occurrence took place during the after. noon relative to her identity, the circumstances of which may be briefly described as follows :—A young female named Croombridge, living in the service of Mr. Arnold, toy-manufacturer, King William-street, London-bridge, had a presentiment that the deceased was her sister, and requested permission to view the body. Mr. Arnold's nurse accompanied her to the church, and on the features of the deceased being exposed to view, the young woman, Croombridge, screamed out that it was her sister, and that she had destroyed herself through the cruelty of a young man with whom she had been acquainted for some time past. Her state of excitement was such that some person present imagined her impression to be correct, exc -pt the nurse, an intelligent woman, who had once or twice seen the sister of Croombridge, and could not trace all the features in the deceased. Another sister, living with aperson named Webb, in L;_mdenhall-market, was then sent for, to set the matter at rest, and on arriving at the church, after viewing the body, she at once declared that deceased was not her sister. The other, however, persisted in her belief that it was, and stated in corroboration that when she last saw her on Sunday week, deceased bid her " good-by," and said, " You will never see me again alive." '.rhe two sis ters were certainly very much alike, and not at all unlike the corpse : but the nurse before alluded to stated that the sister was much freckled about the face, while the corpse was very fair. All doubt was, however, set at rest, about half-past seven o'clock last evening, by her recognition as the servant of Mr. Rowbotham, residing at No. 9, Buttersland street, Hoxton. Her name is Jane Cooper, and she had been missing from her situation since Thurs day morning, and Mr. Rowbotham having heard of the accident, came down to view the body, and immediately recognised her. An examination was made last evening by Dr. Thomas Elliotson and Mr. Croft, in the presence of several other gentlemen, by direction of the Coroner, when it appeared that both legs had sustained a compound fracture—and the feet were also much dislocated—the left shoulder was al most torn from the body, and the back of the skull presented a frightful fracture. The features were in no way mutilated, and the deceased was a well-look ing young woman, somewhat inclined to corpulency. She was about five feet high, and habited in the cus tomary manner of domestic servants It is the opinion of Dr. Elliotson and several other medical men, that she is not pregnant, though a difference on this point exists, which will doubtless be cleared up before the inquest is held. No cause is yet assigned for the rash act. It is a melancholy reflection, that this is the third time life has been sacrificed in the same dreadful manner within three years. The utter uselessness of appointing a sentinel in the gallery must now be ap parent to every person ; and if the Monument be not whom he had great confidence, and his omission to watch narrowly the movements of the deceased, creates much surprise in the minds of all who knew him. INQUEST •ON THE BODY. On Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. Payne, the Civic Coroner, and a jury of respectable inha bitants of the garish of St. Magnus, Lower Thames street, assembled at the Swan Tavern, Fish-street hill, to inquire into the circumstances attendant on the death of Jane Cooper, aged 17 years, who commit ted suicide on the morning before by jumping from the top of the Monument. The jury, on being sworn, proceeded to view the shattered remains of the deceased, which were depo sited in a shell in St. Margaret's Church, and on their return to the inquest-room the following evidence was adduced before them : The first witness called was Robert Fuller Rolfe, a City constable, who deposed that while passing up Fish-street-hill on the morning before, and on reach ing near the chapel, he saw a female in the act of dropping from the top of the Monument. In her fall she struck against a part of the Monument itself, and thus caused her body to rebound and fall into near the middle of the street. He hastened to her assistance, nd raised her up, but found she was quite dead. He then sent for a shell, into which the body was put, and removed into St. Margaret's church. He exa mined her clothes, and found the initials upon them to be " J. C.," but beyond this there was nothing else about her person by which she could be identified. George Pike, another City officer, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Thomas Jenkins, the receiver of the fcei to view the Monument, was next called and examined. He stated that the deceased presented herself at the en trance to the Monument about half-past ten on the day before, having paid sixpence for her admission. He did not at the time perceive anything remarkable in her appearance or manner to give him the slightest suspicion that she meditated self-destruction, and on her paying the money he merely told her to take hold of the railing on the left hand side ; upon which she replied, " Oh, yes, I know." She then proceeded up the stairs and did not seem to be the least flurried iii her manner, and he saw no more of her until he observed her body in the street. There is a person named Fletcher at the top of the Monument, whose duty it is to conduct all visitors round, and not to leave any person alone. If there are several persons at the top he is required to walk round, but not to in . . terfere Unless his suspicions are aroused. At the time the unfortunate deceased had ascended there was no other person on the top of the building, with the exception of Fletcher. He (witness) did not see the deceased, after giving her the warning to hold by the left railing, until after she threw herself from the building. Nathaniel Fletcher, an inactive old man, said, that on the morning before, he went on duty as usual at nine o'clock, and about half-past ten deceased came and asked to view the Monument. She then paid the fee and went up, and he followed her to the top'. When they had been there a few minutes, he heard a noise as if a door closed, and went to see what was the matter, leaving the deceased alone. He returned in a few minutes, and not seeing the young woman, he thought she had gone down stairs, but instead of this she threw herself off. When he left, the de ceased was standing by the flag-staff, and this was the last time he saw her. In reply to a question from a juror, the witness denied having more than half a pint of beer to drink on Friday morning. The jurors almost unanimously expressed them selves perfectly astonished that a person so feeble and incompetent should have been appointed to such a situation. Sarah Timmins, a fashionably-dressed young woman, said she lived in the Walworth .road, and had been acquainted with the deceased for some time past. On Thursday last the deceased called upon her and she then appeared perfectly happy. No par ticular conversation took place on that occasion, and she never observed any thing in her manner or habit to induce her to think she was disturbed in her mind, Mr. W. Rowbotham, of Buttesland-street, Hoxton. deposed that the deceased had been in his service for about twelve months, and up to Thursday last, when she went out for a holiday. lie was quite certain of her identity, and that her name was Jane Cooper. She always appeared to her mistress to be in good health and spirits, and he knew of nothing that had latterly occurred to prevent her being otherwise. He understood she went out to spend the day with her friends, and she was expected home on Thursday night by eleven o'clock, but did not return. The wit ness was not aware that she went to Camberwell Fair on the Thursday evening, nor did he know where she had spent Thursday night. Mrs. Sarah Rowbotham, wife to the last witness, said that when the deceased left her house on Thurs day morning, she told her she was going to Vauxhall, 9.nd she then requested her to be home by eleven o'clock, which she promised. I expected her back, but she did not come; nor did she (witness) see her alive after that morning. In answer to the questions of the Coroner and Jury, the witness said that she had paid the deceased one shilling on the Thursday morning when she went, and that was all the wages due to her. She said that the deceased had some days before drawn the whole of her wages but the shilling to purchase clothes, and the whole of those she wore on the Thursday morning. This witness also declared that she was not aware of any male ac quantanco which the deceased had, nor of her form ing an improper intimacy with any one, nor had any of her friends or followers been to her (wit ness's) house the whole of the time she had been in her service. A number of letters which had been produced by, and which were found in the box of the deceased, by Mr. Rowbotham, were here examined by the Coroner and Jury, and some extracts from them read by Mr. Payne, but they contained nothing to give the slightest clue as to the cause of the rash act. In one letter to Miss Timmins she wrote thus :—" I wish I could find every one so unchanging as you are." But when Miss Timmins was called on to explain what it meant, she declared she was quite ignorant of its import, and that she did not know of any one to whom the deceased had been in the slighest degree attached ; nor had she ever heard her, she said, mention the name of any young man whose company she kept. Mrs. Sarah Cooper, step-mother to the deceased, stated that the deceased had been to service about four years, and that during that time two situations, in the first of which she had been about three years, and in the last twelve months. She was a young woman of a very high spirit and very self-willed, and for some time previous to her death she and witness had not been on good terms. This was owing to her speaking to her about keeping very irregular hours while at her house, as she used to come home at one and two o'clock in the morning while stopping with her. CORONER—When was this ? Witness—When she was out of a situation. CORONER—Do you know of her forming any im proper intimacy with any young man ? Witness— Not any one in particular. She was rather gaily inclined. CORONER—Can you form any opinion as to the cause of her committing this deed ? Witness—None whatever. Juror—You have said the deceased was of a hasty temper ? Witness—She was, Sir, very violent in her temper indeed, and had once threatened my life. CORONER — Has she ever threatened to take away her own life ? 'Witness—No, Sir ; but I have fre quently spoken to her about self-destruction, and what a shocking offence it was ; but she seemed to treat it with indifference, and said she did not think anything about it. Juror—Do you reccllect having heard her say any thing about the young woman who had thrown her self off the Monument about two years ago ? Wit ness—No, Sir, but I have beard her say she should wish to see the Monument. Another Juror—Was she in the habit of reading novels or religious books ? Witness—She used to read both, Sir, and was as nice a young woman as could be, but had lately become completely altered. CORONER—You have said you were in the habit of speaking to the deceased about self-destruction. What were the causes that led you to do so ? Witness—No causes ; but we used to read of such things in books and in the newspapers, and that's all. CORONER—Then you cannot assign any cause that has come within your own knowledge for the de ceased's throwing herself from the top of the Monu ment ? Witness—l cannot, Sir. Mr. William Fuller, surgeon, of King William street, was next called, and examined. He stated that he saw the body of the deceased just after it had been picked up, and on removing her bonnet he found part of the skull fractured and forced in. CORONER—There were, I believe, several injuries on different parts of the body. There is no necessity for a minute description ot them, but merely state the material or pri nc i pa l injury which was the more immediate cause of death. Illitness—The more im mediate cause of death was the fracture of the skull, and the laceration and protrusion of the brain. CORONER—By my directions, Mr. Fuller, you have made an examination of the body of the deceased with the view of ascertaining whether the deceased was in a state of pregnancy. Is it your opinion, from that examination, that she was in the family way or not ? Mr. Fuller—lt is my opinion that she was not in a state of pregnancy ; if she was so, it must be in its early stage. In reply to another question from the Coroner, the witness gave it as his decided opinion MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VENDING INFLAMMATORY PLACARDS.—Thomas Welch, a powerful young Irishman, with scarcely a bit of a clothing on him, was placed at the bar charged under the following circumstances. William Drane, Police-sergeant No. 141 of the C division, stated that about half-past eleven last night, as he was proceeding on duty along Moore-street, Soho, he saw a large crowd of persons, about 100 or more, assembled at the angles of the Dials, which he found was caused by the defendant bawling out at the top of his voice, that the "placard bills " he had to sell, contained "an account of the dreadful riots and military murders," amongst the starving working clasSes. They were readily bought up by the crowd. Some of the re spectable housekeepers expressed their alarm for the s,ecurity of their property ; and in consequence, wit ness requested the defendant to move on, but he re fused to do so ; and, on witness putting his hand gently on his shoulder to enforce his request, the de fendant struck him on the breast, and endeavoured to excite the crowd to his rescue. Several of them in terfered in a violent manner, and witness received a severe kick on the thigh, and was otherwise violently assaulted. Mr. MALTBY said he should merely consider the defendant's case as an assault upon a police constable in the execution of his duty, and should impose the penalty of 7s. upon him, or seven days' imprisonment Thomas Marton, an ironmonger's porter, and John Howard, no tFade, were fined 10s. each for resisting the police in the capture of the above named defend ant.—These fines were immediately paid. UNION-HALL. CII.IItGE Or EMBEZZLEMENT.—Evan Davis, a tra veller in the employ of Mr. Daley, a printer, in the Borough, was charged with the following : The complainant stated that he intrusted the pri soner with printed bills and other papers to dispose of amongst the customers on commission. The pri soner absconded after having sold the whole of the property, and converted the proceeds to his own use. He was remanded. OUTRAGEOUS 'ASSAULT.--A man named Phillips was charged with breaking the leg of James Bush nell, a wheelwright, in an encounter at a public-house. The complainant's leg received a compound fracture, and he is at present not considered out of dan ger. The prisoner said that he was intoxicated, and regretted the accident. He was held to bail. MR. GREEN'S LAST ASCENT. (From the Dorset County Chronicle.) The inflation was slow, and commenced at two p.m. Gas began to be prepared as early as five o'clock in the morning. The balloon which was used on this occasion is nearly new, and bears the grand name of the " Royal Albion." It was enclosed in a substan tial net, and altogether, it may be well proud of the name it bears. The balloon is 113 feet in circumfer• ence, contains 25,000 cubic feet of gas, and, with the car attached, is upwards of 50 feet high. The car was attached at half-past four o'clock p.m., the town band playing many delightful lively airs. The car was, we thought, rather small for two persons, consi dering the number of sand-bags stowed away, with the cable, grapnel, and instruments. It was, however, strong and neat, the top part being covered with rich blue sill;, with gold fringe ; the under part crimson and gold, and lined with green silk damask, being al together remarkably unique. Mr. Green entered the car with his usual firmness of nerve, having been per fectly satisfied as to his sailing in an inland direction, from first having, as a surety, sent up a good-sized balloon to ascertain the current of air aloft. This being done, Captain Currie as boldly entered, and who, we find, was formerly quartered here, and was an officer in the 23d Regiment of Lancers, which was disbanded at Radipole Barracks in 1817. All being right, thelines which held the balloon were speedily unloosed, and at a quarter to five o'clock, they made one of the most beau tiful ascents ever witnessed, amidst the shouts of thou sands of spectators, the band playing " God save the Queen." This makes the 280th ascent of Mr. Green, and the 36th of Captain Currie. The course taken was a north-east direction, passing over the figure of his late Majesty King George 111., which is beautifully cut in chalk, on one of those range of hills be tween Preston and Osmington. It is needless to say they were watched with intense anxiety as far as the eye could see, and for several minutes had totally dis appeared, when a cry was heard—" The balloon ! the balloon !" It was, however, seen but a few seconds, and soon dipped behind the hills to afford others the enjoyment of witnessing that which had created so much interest with us. There could not have been much less than between 15,000 and 16,000 persons present. Mr. Green, accompanied by Captain Currie, arrived in Weymouth about eight o'clock on the fol lowing morning, and immediately waited on the Mayor to announce his safe return. MR. GREEN'S ACCOUNT. On leaving the earth the balloon took a north-east direction, passing over the north end of the bay and the White Horse. Our view of Weymouth and the sea at this period was grand, and imposing beyond description ; but at an elevation of about 3,000 feet we lost sight of the earth by entering the clouds ; in a few minutes we enjoyed the pure light and heat of the sun. The gas noiv began rapidly to expand, and we soon attained our greatest elevation near two miles, where we met with a current from the north west, and as this was fast carrying us to sea, we descended through the clouds. Our course now varied to the east by north, and at 2,000 feet from the earth the wind became more westerly. The country over which we were sailing being mountainous, and un favourable for landing, we lowered the guide-line, by the aid of which we continued our course at an eleva tion within 500 feet of the earth, until near the river in the vale of Piddle, where we effected a landing near Bere Regis, six miles north of Wareham. A strong wind prevailed at the earth ; and had not the grapnel performed its office in arresting the progress _., a, ow I'd 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 "O 0 0 0 0 0 I 0 P 7 14 0 • a g 0 • 0 0 • 0 IS 4 15 0 • •N o 0 0 0 re re- Vice, duly the 41b > 13, OL . ms WI 5S 1 14 0 1 I 0 ) 16 0 1 5 0 B%d. rile to I. 44 cf. 5 . 6 g P so 0 _,e i jog r on 'OO
