The remains of Aclmiral.Dumont D'Urville, his wife, and son, who unfortunately perished by the railroad ac cident near Paris on the Bth instant, were interred with much pomp on Monday last in the cemetery of Mont 2arnasse, after the usual ceremonies at St. Sulpice. The Presse, in an abusive article against England, urges the opponents of th e Ri g h t of Search Treaties not •to agitate the matter further in the Chamber, as Peers, Deputies, and the public at large, had so unequi vocally protested against the ratification of the December treaty, that no Minister dare ratify it. Letters from Madrid of the 9th instant state, that the Vine Committee of Puerto de Santa Maria had addressed a petition to the Cortes in favour of the introduction of English cottons into Spain, on payment of a protecting duty of 20 or 25 per cent. The municipality of Xeres de la Frontera had forwarded an appeal to the same effect to the Regent. The petitioners of both places described the sad condition to which the South of Spain would be reduced, if, through any delay in concluding a treaty of commerce with great Britain, Spanish wines were excluded from the English markets. Letters from Naples of the Bth i ns t an t s t a t e , th a t th e Court of Rome had accepted the proposition made to it by Holland and Belgium, to act as mediator in the dif ference which had arisen .between those countries and Naples, respecting the affair of the Tavoliere. The King of Naples, however, would not accept the mediation of the Pope, and fresh negotiations were shortly to be opened. The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following extract of a letter, dat e d P a l ermo , t h e 28t h u l t. :—" Our Govern ment has charged the Minister Secretary of State, Prince Commitini, the Commander Forscinato and M. Spinelli, with the negotiation of a .commercial treaty with Great Britain. The Hon. W. Temple, the English AMbas sador in Naples, and M. Parish have been appointed Commissioners for Great Britain. The. English Govern ment appears disposed to favour the importation of our products, but it requires reciprocity." A private letter from Munich, of the 11th inst., states, that the utmost exertions were being made at Berlin, Frankfort; Augsburg, an d i n fact throughout Germany, to collect subscriptions for the sufferers by the late cala mitous fire at Hamburgh. It was feared that many of the German insurance companies would be seriously compromised by that event. It was said that a company at Gotha would lose 10,000,000 florins. The number of journals and other periodicals now published in Russia, says the Augsburg Gazette, is 139, being five more than in 1841 ; 98 are in the Russian language, 22 in German, 8 in French, 4 in English, 3 iu Polish, 1 in Italian, and 3 in Latin. A letter from Aden,. of the 10th of March, says : " The India steam-ship arrived here from Suez at two P.si. on the 9th inst. She lay aground near Suez nine hours, but it was fortunately calm. She was detained at Mocha three days to take in a supply of wood, having expended her coals. One of the passengers, Captain Vernon, of the 15th Hussars, died for, want of medical assistance, which has damped the spirits of the whole party. Dr. Bloxham, of, the Clive sloop of war, be longinc, to the East India Company, h as , s i nce th e i r arrival,' kindly attended them." PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Chronicle insists that, notwithstanding the large majorities by which its most obnoxious mea sures have been supported, the Ministry is not so strong now as it appeared at the commencement of the ses sion, and adds :—" It is impossible to doubt that the whole course of the Ministry has given the deepest dis satisfaction to their supporters. Every step that Sir Robert Peel has taken, has been a' heavy blow and great discouragement' to the Tory party. A great portion of the agriculturists have been • completely alienated from him by his Corn-law—still greater has been the disgust created among same class by his Tariff. The agri culturists generally regard the Government as having grossly and needlessly betrayed them • and without now giving an o pi n i on as to w h et h er Sir Robert Peel has done right in sacrificing his supporters to the public good, we cannot deny that they have a right to complain of him. The rage of this class of his supporters at the late elec tion falls first on him, and secondly on their own repre sentatives, who have either supported him in his ob noxious measures, or have met them with an inefficient or rather counterfeit opposition. Another large class of the supporters of the Tory party are equally indignant at the course pursued by the Government with respect to the Poor-law." The Post finds fault with the flippant manner in which the House of Commons has dealt with the recent cases of bribery and corruption at elections, observing— " There has been something ridiculous in the way in which the House of Commons has proceeded with regard to the allegations of bribery. But the absurdity is not that which arises from gravely noticing in particular cases that which is notoriously a general pract,ee. It is that which arises from dealing with a subject of great gravity and importance —one affecting directly and im mediately the morality of the representative system of a great nation—as if it were some trivial matter of ordi nary legislative curiosity. An affair of greater gravity has not for years been submitted to the House of Com mons than that which has lately engaged its attention in reference to borough elections—a matter which the Prime Minister himself describes as one of immense im . portance ; and yet the House has gone into it suddenly and without consideration, upon the instigation of an Honourable Member, having no reputation for soundness of judgment, and who merely jumped at a rumour which attracted his attention, as the swift but foolish mackerel does at a bit of red cloth hung upon a hook." We take the following from the Herald :—" The un paralleled depression in trade throughout the country still continues ; few symptoms of alteration, much less of improvement, are visible • and in every provincial t own , as well as in the metropolis, there is but one feeling existing—it is dread to enter on any business transaction which can be avoided. Yet is there no pressure on the money market ; on the contrary, that market is abso lutely plethoric. So abundant is capital in the City, that good bills can be discounted at 3 per cent. • and many of the first merchants, instead of empl o yi ng ;heir money in the ordinary way of business, are seeking for its invest ment on loan—fortunate if they can obtain 43 : per cent. There can be no question that this is a state of things which will not continue for any length of time, and that money will presently, though gradually, get into more general circulation, and give, by a rise of prices, confi dence to traders, and the power to renew those transac tions which a scarcity of money has lately rendered im possible. But that prospect must not make us lose sight of the dreadful and universal inconvenience and loss which are in the mean time inflicted on the community ; for it must be remembered, that although a severe de pression. or "panic," as it is now commonly termed, is usually followed by a great and often sudden prosperity, yet enormous misery and demoralisation are produced by the depression, and evil to an immense extent is realised and left for the production of future calamities." The Times says :—" The extent to which bribery pre vails in the borough constituencies of this country is a fact which cannot be contemplated without serious alarm. It matters little when or with whom it originated— whether it was nursed in the secluded haunts of needy patrons, or whether it sprung up in the hot-bed of party strife ; two things are certain —one, that it is now pol luting the very sources of law itself—the other, that, if not arrested, it will devour, by a just necessity, the very parents that gave it birth. It will not do to ridicule or Trifle with this matter. You cannot point in all history to an age or country in 'which open and systematic bribery has not been the sure forerunner of decline and downfall. And what makes our case worse, while it proves the universality of the practice is, that those who admit the evil dare not boldly oppose it, or propose any measure that would really strike at its root ; but, as if paralysed by the hideousness of the monster, every one stops short, or is turned into stone at the very•sight of it ; while others, earnestly anxious no doubt to amend the evil, do more harm than good by the plain inefficacy of their proposed remedies." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. Little short of 25,000/. has already been contributed at home and abroad, for the relief of the poor in Paisley and its neighbourhood. The disturbances at Dudley appear to have ceased : many nailors are rambling about, but the great pro portion have resumed their work -at a reduction of ten per cent. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. At the meeting of the Home Missionary Society, held yesterday in Exeter Hall, it appeared from the Report that the Society had 147 agents, who preach in nearly 600 towns, villages, and hamlets ; and that no less than 10,000 children are instructed in their schools. Their expenditure has this year exceeded their income above 2,0001., but a legacy of 5,0001. has, by the favourable issue of a law-suit, been placed at their disposal. STATISTICS. From a paper on accidents in coal-mines in Belgium, read before the Statistical Society, it appears that from 1821 to 1840, 2,592 persons were killed and injured, out of a population of about 28,000. In the years 1840 and 1841, the legislature voted 82,000 francs to the various institutions established for the relief of the miners. In Lord Francis Egerton's mines, a total of 101 per sons have been killed and injured during the last three years. ECCLESZASTXCAL. A new Roman Catholic cathedral is about to be erected in York, and upwards of 40,0001. have been subscribed for the purpose. The Bishop of Lichfield still remains unimproved in health : prayers have been offered up in his Lordship's behalf at Lichfield Cathedral for the last three weeks. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The prize -agents appointed for the naval captures made in China are Benjamin Chimmo, Esq., secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, K.C.8., and Richard. M. Wichel, Esq., p urser o f h er ajesty's ship Blenheim. LAW AND POLICE. Mr. P. Daniels, an equity barrister, has been appointed by the Home Office, to the Recordership of Ipswich. The three inspectors of police, suspended by order of the Police Commissioners for alleged neglect in the case of Daniel Good, the murderer of Jane Jones, have been reinstated in their situations, but are not to receive pay for the period they were off duty. FINE ARTS. A monument is about to be erected to the memory of Rear-Admiral PUrville, in Paris ; and the Geogra phical Society have opened subscriptions for the purpose. The repairs in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, hate commenced, and will be finished in the ensuing summer. The rich stained glass of the great western window, which has not been repaired for the last 70 years, is en trusted for restoration to Mr. Willement, and will cost alone an outlay of 2,0001..0r 3,0Q0/. IHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1842 CRIMINAL COURT.-4THIS DAY.) NEW COURT. Richard Hitchcock was indicted for obtaining money to the amount of nearly 1,0001. under false pretences, from harry Hinton. Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal lantyne for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of Mr. PAYNE that in the course of last year there app e ared in some of the London newspaper s an advertisement for the heir-at law to some property in Essex. •In consequence of this the prisoner made application to 'Mr. Joshua Wall, of Ingatestone, in Essex, who it apOared had a claim upon the property in question. He represented to him that the affairs were in Chancery; and induced him to give up certain papers he had in his pos session relating to this property. Wi t h t h ese papers, he proeeeded to Mr. Henry Hinton, a merchant in the City, and stated to him that he had the case of Wall in hand, in whose favour the Court of Chancery had decided, respecting a claim made in that Court by Wall. He further represented that some time would elapse before he could obtain the money, and that Wall and his family were in poverty at the time. He (the prisoner) there fore wished to allow them the sum of one pond per week until the time should arrive when Wall would receive the money. The prisoner said he wished the prosecutor to advance him certain sums of money .for this purpose, and also for the pirpose of purchasing clothes, and paying the clerks in Chancery. Upon these pretences and representations, the prosecutor advanced, from time to time, various sums of money to the extent of 1,000/. A few months ago the prosecutor dis covered that all these pretences and representations were false. He discovered that the property before referred to was in the possession of another family, and had been during the whole time of his connection with the pri soner in this transaction. He also discovered that there were no proceedings in Chancery, nor had the prisoner, as he had stated to the prosecutor, ever paid any money to the clerk in the Court of Chancery. - Mr. Henry Hinton, in his evidence, confirmed this statement. On cross-examination he stated that he had married the daughter-in-law of the prisoner ; that they resided with the prisoner for some time. He (the wit ness) paid the whole of the household expences. By the false representations of the prisoner he had been ruined. Mr. John Taylor deposed that he was a solicitor. In 1839 he was in partnership with Mr. Shaw, solicitor, of Fenchurch-street. The prisoner came to him at the end of 1839, and brought certain papers with him. - He said he had an application to make respecting Mr. Wall of Ingatestone, who was entitled to a large property. He referred the witness to Messrs. Teesdale and Symes, of Fenchurch-street. He went to them, and they said that the estate in question had been disposed of, and Mr. Wall could then claim nothing. Witness never saw the prisoner afterwards till he was in custody. The prisoner never employed the witness, or Messrs. Symes and . Teesdale. Cross-examined—Wall possessed some claim, but his application was made too late. William Pearson, a tailor, deposed that he had made clothes for the prisoner to the amount of 301. The pri soner said they were to be charged to Mr. Hinton. Joshua Wall deposed that he lived at Ingatestone, in Essex. He was a farmer. 'The prisoner never allowed him 1/. a-week. If he got any money from any person on his (witness's) account, he never gave it to witness. Witness never received the value of 1 1. from him. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. BALLAN TYNE took objections to the form of the indictment. The indictment contained five counts. His principal objection was, that the false pretences, mentioned in several counts, were in futuro. His next objection was. that the allegation in the indictment was not supported by evidence. • Mr. Commissioner Btrixocic held that the objections were good with respect to several of the counts ; but, with respects to the others, lie thought there was a case for the Jury. Mr. BALLANTYNE then addressed the Jury for the de fence, and called the following witnesses : Mary Jacques, an interesting -looking girl, deposed that she was the daughter-in-law of the prisoner, and- sister to the wife of the prosecutor, and she was sixteen . , years of age. The prisoner and Mr. Hinton lived together for some time. Mr. Hitchcock always paid the expenses. The, bills were made out in his ❑ame. She had often seen money pass between Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Hinton. Mr. Hitchcock had been married to her mother about seven years. She was a lady . of property, upon which property the family lived. The prisoner also had some money. Mr. Jacques corroborated this evidence. In 1840 he took a 51. note to Mr. Hinton's, he was not at home at the time, and witness gave it to his sister, Mrs. Hinton, and he saw her afterwards give it to Mr. Hinton. Mr, Commissioner BULLOCK summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. The sentence was deferred to the next session on the application of Mr. Ballantyne. The Court intimated that if the ob:ec• tion to the indictment were not considered good it was probable the prisoner would be sent out of the country. The sessions terminated with this case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - BO W-STREET.--(TH IS DAY.) A stiff-looking little fellow, probably about 19 years of age, named John „Hammond, and a good-looking girl about the same age, who sells radishes and onions at the corner of King-street, Drury-lane, were placed at the bar, charged with the following violent assault on the police. Police-constable, F 65, stated that last night about nine o'clock, he was in King-street, Drury-lane, when he saw the male prisoner, fighting with three women. Witnf ss ordered him to move on, but' instead of com plying, he threatened to knock his b- eye out ; witness then proceeded to take him into custody, when the female came up and took hold of him, and said he should not take the other prisoner. Witness told her to be quiet, or he should take her too ; sho then became very vioient, and said she would rip his guts out,. and threatened to knife him, &c. Witness knew nothing against the prisoners previous to this time. Police-constable F 57, who is a young man, stated that from what he heard he went to the assistance of his brother constable, whom he saw struggling with the two prisoners ; they were both very violent. The male hit him a blow on the mouth, and the girl struck him three or four times in the passage of the station-house, and threatened to rip his 6-guts out. Police-constable, F 82, stated that he assisted the other witnesses in taking the prisoners' to the station-house ; the male threatened to stick a knife into him ; and in the passage of the station-house the female became very violent, and attempted a rescue. During the recital of this evidence the female prisoner appeared very miserable, and began to cry. Hammond, however, was laughing all the while, and endeavoured to inspire his frail companion with courage, by ca lli ng her " a ninny," and telling her never to •• pipe," to leave off "snivelling," &c. The prisoner Hammond stated, in defence, that the Ring -street, wen a charge was wrong. He and the gal was standin outside he got to the the ilst door en in t o o of somethe s S i u n g g a i n r Loaf w otirntoh,a ta nd arn publi c-house dogujeutimnopofen i n dhi inoss:hdheeai;i: lot o' Hirish cum out and told 'em to go avvay, which and and Pline cum hup, they woud'nt, when three or four 'women co al „...., scratched hteimhe,danhdimpulelendd torehim tdhoew and kicked him, and bit him, and punched him, and abused him, and in various other ways did assault and punish him, which it would be tedious to enumerate, lie then vi stra ch c h k e o v u o t s in as his own n es d n ef h en sh ce h , y station the p'lice all began to strike and to kick him. , w e e n n d tb u e ,en The female prisoner stated, that she was goinr, along King-street, and she saw the police have hold of the other prisoner, whom they were using very ill, and were dragging about by the collar ; she then went up and said to the police, " Don't collar him in that way, he's no thief as you know, and he'll go quietly." F 65 then told 19 to take her into custody; when she ran away, into the first house he came to, up two pair of stairs, anti locked herself into a room ; 19 followed her, and told her to come along ,like a good girl, ; saying at the same time, that if she would not, come he'd break the door open. She then said that she would come quietly, and so she did ; and they had not brought 19 up this morning, because he would say that she did go quietly to the station-house. When she got to the station, the police knocked her down and kicked her on the hip, and tore her hair. She then hit about in self-defence, in order to get up. Mr. TWYFORD then ordered 19 F to be called, and jhe confirmed the female's statement ralative to her escape at first, and then to her go i ng quietly to the station house ; but when she got to the station, and saw F 68, she flew into a violent passion, and created a great dis turbance. She said that Hammond was a fool to have let such a set of b—y boys take him to the station-honw, she could have done for 'em all herself. Mr. TWYFORD said it was evident that they had both been very violent; he should sentence them, .therefore,' Leah to fourteen clays in the Rouse of Correction. vent stated,on bis . diamination, that he had abstained from alluding at all to the subject, lest such an allusion might be misconstrued in after time ; and thus, until ten days previous to his Lordship's death, at the age of 85 years, no circumstance . occurred relative to this promised deed of settlement, by which the insolvent was to be provided for. It was singular that this .paper, said to have been handed to the insolvent in the 'PrOmethean Hall, and to have been taken back almost immediately after, was never alluded to until proceedings were commenced in • the • Court of Chancery. When a man had allowed his mind and imagination to be occupied for many years. with hopes, the fruition of which had been blighted, it was natural that he sometimes might labour under delusions of a peculiar nature, and he (the Learned Commissioner) expressed his decided opinion that the statements made by the insol vent must, in some degree, have had their origin in a delusion of a simil ar nature. Th e L earn d Commissioner concluded by saying that from first to last, those highly respectable gentlemen, who acted as the executors of the Earl of Egremont, had I conducted themselves with fairness and consideration to wards the insolvent, and with honour and impartiality throughout the whole transaction. The decision of the Court, therefore, was that the special balance sheet be amended, by giving credit for the sum of 21,3331. 95. ; as money received by the insolvent, while the amount of his account for work done should be set down at 19,207/. Mr. Carew now left the Court, and he (the Learned Commissioner) expressed his sincere and heartfelt wish that, in going forth again to the world, to in some mea sure re-commence his profession, he should meet with that reward to which his high and splendid talents so pre-eminently entitled him. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN, after recapitulating and commenting upon the eviden ce , expressed h i s ent i re con currence in the judgment delivered by his Learned Col. league. • Mr. CRESS WELL said he was-instructed to apply that Mr. Henry White be appointed assignee, which was ac- I ceded to without opposition. ..

On 'Wednesday last the entire machinery, sails, stones, &c., of a wind corn-mill, was shipped for Vamburg-h, on board the steamer Transit, at Hull. About 300 tons of rock, on the routh side of the river Wear, above the bridge,. fell down a few mornings ago into the river. About 30,000 persons visited the National Gallery on Monday and Tuesday. It is calculated that not less than 200,000 persons were present in Greenwich fair and park at sunset yesterday. The following are the most celebrated promenades of the chief nations of Europe and Asia :—the Bois de Boulogne in France ; the Garden of the Dead at Con stantinople ; the Gardens at Kensington; the Prater, in the suburbs of Vienna, situated on one of the islands of the Danube ; the Wood of the Falcons at Moscow ; and the Prado, in Spain. The Killeagh Mills, in the county of Cork, were to tally destroyed by fire on the 11th instant ; the property was insured to the amount of 4,000/, which will cover the loss. Three fires, supposed to be incen.liary, have, during the last fortnight, broken out in the Blean woods, Kent, and destroyed a great portion, part belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and about forty acres to the Dering family. • ELECTON COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) CORK (COUNTY). The Committee met this day at eleven o'clock, G. Hayter, Esq. in the chair. The cross-examination of Mr. Gore Jones, which was postponed from yesterday, was proceeded with, and occu pied all the morning. ' He , said that the mob were col lected in a mass in the street. He was in Cork for the purpose of preserving the peace. He rode with the dra goons where there was any necessity. There was about half a companyin front of the Conservative rooms. Received an application to protect voters on Tuesday. There was free access for the voters from the tally-room to the Court-house. The arrangements made by the authorities succeeded. No better arrangements could have been made. *Was applied to by Mr. Payne and Mr. Connor to accompany them to Lloyd's Hotel, which is about ninety yards from the Court-house. Deposited them safely there. Heard, some time after, that a. gen tleman was assaulted, and that two pistols had bean fired on the mob from the hotel. Saw Sheritl Deeble going about with pistols in his hands, and . accompanied by a small troup of cavalry. Thinks the conduct of the Sheriff • may have tended to excite the crowd, and occasion much of the noise. Sheriff Deeble is a dealer in bones, and the crowd kept shouting aft er hi m " rags and bones."— (Laughter.) Does not know of his own knowledge that Mr. Deeble is a partizan. Has always seen the military at elections in Ireland. Some parts of Ireland are very tranquil, as much so as any part of England. The county of Cork is so. Had never a serious case it the assizes. Has been in the commission of the peace for 24 years. Would have adopted the same precautions again. in the event of a new election ; might have suggested a different plan for bringing in the county voters. Does not know Mr. Collins personally. Has heard from general report that he is a Conservative. Is -of high re pute at the Irish bar. The voters might have had the same facilities on Wednesday and Thursday that they had on Tuesday. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM—Thinks the presence of the military necessary at Irish elections, for the purpose of protecting the Conservative party. The Liberal party are far more numerous. Does not think any Conservative concerned in the election would be po pular. Has seen Conservatives cheered. Saw a Con servative officer cheered. The army are very popular in Ireland. The arty he escorted to the poll would not be safe, in his opinion, without an escort. Cannot con ceive any place more quiet than Cork in ordinary times. Can move about at all times without the least pro tection. ITo the Committee.—Thinks there was no syste matic disturbance. Was overtaken by a Magistrate, who was coming from Clonakilty to vote fur the Conser vative party, when witness was accompanying the Bantry voters. He was in a private car with his wife, and he met with no obstruction. There was not greater dis turbance at the Cork election than he saw at other elec tions in Ireland. There was this new feature in Cork, that the women took part in the disturbance.— (Laughter.) Mr. Roche, of A g h a d a , an d M r . O'H ea, and two Catholic clergymen advised the crowd to be peaceable ; they were Idiberals ; does not conceive there was any systematic opposition ; could not learn there were any leaders ; heard that there were persons chalked ; did not see any ; heard the fact in conversatior. Daniel Connor, Esq. was next examined by Mr. Smith —Resides at Manche House, in Cork, about thirty three miles from the city ; went with some tenants to vote at the last election for the county of Cork. Arrived in Cork on Monday morning. Placed the vo ters he had met ivith in a house in George-street. Had an opportunity of observing the state of the town be tween this place and the Court-house. The state of the poll was known by half-past two o'clock. It was posted up at the Conservative Committee-room. The people then became very riotous. It would not then be safe to go to the poll. Applied to the Mayor to swear in more constables ; he replied that it would not be of any use ; that it was better to apply to the Assessor to ad journ the election, because, it they persisted, they would be murdered. His object was. to get back the voters, with whom lie came, as speedily as possible. He com municated his intention of taking away the voters to Mr. Jones. Mr Jones desired him to wait till he had drawn up the troops on each side: They were to be taken by the . coach. The coach drove up, but did not stop ; went back to the Committee-room ; a man was brought in badly wounded ; he and Mr. Adams took him to the Assessor's room, and applied for an adjourn ment of the election ; stones were thrown at them ; no voter was safe at that time. Some' time after he was walking on the parade ; stones were thrown at him ; lie took a pistol from his pocket, cocked it, and threatened to shoot the first person that threw a stone ; he met Mr. Payne, and gave him another pistol. The mob still followed them. Mr. Payne received two heavy blows from stones. He then fired. His firing was decidedly an act of self-defence. His firing checked the people, and they then made their way to Daly's Club. The witness was still under examination when we went to press. LYME REGIS. The Committee met at the usual hour, Mr. HAWES in the Chair. The scrutiny was proceeded with on the part of the petitioners, but nothing particular had occurred up to the time of our going to press. LAW INTELLIGENCE INSOLVENT CO URT--(T HIS DAY.) IN RE JOHN EDWARD CAREIV. The above eminent sculptor appeared in Court, on his re'...ognizances to receive judgme n t i n thi s matter, w l.i ch has already been reported at length in The Sun. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, this was different from the ordinary run of cases which came before the Court, where an insolvent was opposed on the ground of fraudent practices, but it was a case where those opposing felt bound to do so, in order to vindicate, in their capacity as executors of the late Earl of Egremont, the character of that lamented Nobleman. The Learned Commissioner then proceeded to re capitulate the evidence which had been adduced during the numerous hearings which the case had undergone, commenting upon die various points as he proceeded. With regard to a certain document. alleged by the in solvent to have been handed to him by the Noble Earl, ten days previous to his death, in a studio called "_The Promethean Hall," and which was - stated - to have con tained a provision for life for the insolvent, the Learned Commissioner said that after the death of Lord Egre 'flout, Mr. Murray, his solicitor, Sir Charles Burrell, and Colonel Wyndham, stated in their evidence in Court that they examined all documents and papers which re mained after the decease of the Noble Earl, and amongst them not one, could be found of that nature; and no one for" a moment could suspect those gentlemen to be gailty of any concealment. It therefore appeared to him that the only course open for the executors was to bring the matter before some public tribunal, in order to decide upon the validity of the insolvent's claims, which he, in the absence of evi dence, was unable to do. With respect to the altar-piece executed for the Roman Catholic chapel at Brighton, and stated by the insolvent to have been undertaken at the order of his Lordship, he (the Learned Commis sioner) entertained considerable doubts concerning the statement that it was done by his express orders. It was stated that the Noble Earl said he would never ad vance any money for the purpose of erecting a Roman Catholic chapel, but that he was willing that Mr. Carew should execute an altar-piece for the chapel, provided it was not known to the . public that he was the .donor. Now he (Mr. Commissioner Reynolds) could' not con ceive how a nobleman in the exalted position which Lord Egremont held, could wish to be a party to any trans action of so clandestine a character. It was idle for Mr. Carew to nttribnte his insolvency to his connection with the Earl of Egreniont, for up to the day of his Lord ship's death he was largely supplied with money, and could not properly have incurred any liabilities which would have caused that misfortune. That no such paper as that alluded to by the insolvent ever existed, there could be no doubt ; for it was net even for a mo ment insinuated that either of the three gentlemen before alluded to had put aside any document found after • the Noble Lord's decease. Con sidering that the insolvent had originally given up li l ts profession, for the sake of devoting his time and talents to the service of the Earl of Egremont, at a time when that nobleman was upwards of 71 years of age, it was very unlikely that during the 14 subsequent years which he remained with him, that he would not have impressed upon him the necessity of some provi sion being made for him and his family, when his pa tron should be no more ; but, instead of that, the insol- The prisoners seemed to think that they had escaped with a very light punishment, and they thanked the Worthy Magistrate for his clemency. DRUNK AND INCAPABLES.—There were no less than fourteen charges of this naturebrought before the Court this morning, nine of which were against women, and five against men ; two of the women were sentenced to three days' imprisonment, and one of the men to pay a fine of 51., their drunkenness having been accompanied with violence. The others, male and female, were all discharged, having behaved quietly when in the custody of the police. MARLBOROUGH STI3EET. (THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Wilson, about sixty years of age, dressed in widow's mourning, was placed at the bar on the follow ing charge : Elizabeth Grist, a married female, stated that she oc cupied the back -room on the second-floor of No. 3, Marlborough -court, Carnaby-street, Golden-square. Last evening she left home about six o'clock, leaving her room door locked, but, on returning in about a quarter of an hour, she found it had been unlocked, and that the prisoner was in custody in the house. Mrs. Anne Rose, a lodger, gave evidence which left no doubt that the prisoner had opened several doors in the house with skeleton keys, and was in the act of carrying otf property. • Police Constable No. 108 of the C division, who took the prisoner into custody, produced thirty-one dupli cates, which he found on her. They related to such 'property as tea-caddies, silk dresses, sheets, &c., &c., which no doubt had been plundered. by her from dif ferent lodging-houses, by hergaining access to the rooms with false keys. The property pledged appears to have been valuable, as most of the duplicates are for the sums of 305., 155., and 10s. The MAGISTRATE said, that there was no doubt but the prisoner had carried on a systematic and extensive course of robberies of this description, and, with a view to give time for the discovery of the owners of the property pledged, he should remand her until this day week. The prisoner impudently replied, that he might do just as he liked. •• UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Louis Ladiri, a Frenchman, was charged with the fol lowing extraordinary conduct. 'William Jones, an itinerant vender of razors, stated that while engaged at his trade in standing in the street, the defendant rushed towards him, and seizing a razor from him, began to flourish it a b out w i t h . t h e blade open. He was requested to give it up, but he refused, and placing himself in a defensive position, swore that the first who approached him he would cut his throat. He then set off running. with the razor still open in his hand, and was pursued by several persons, when he was at length stopped, the instrument having fallen from' his hands. The defendant said that it was all attributable to his having drank too much Italian wine at the _London • docks.—He was held to bail. A man named M'Right was remanded on a charge of stealing a quantity of plate, clothes, and other property, from J. Robinson. He was taken into custody with some of the stolen plate in his possession, and when apprehended, several letters were found upon him, which showed that he be longed to a gang of Liverpool thieves ; the writer of oue of the epistles, in slang phraseology, saying that he had made his escape from the above city, and got into the service of the Earl of Shelburne, in Dorsetshire.

GORHAMBURY RACES. These races commenced yesterday in Lord Vernlam's park, near St. Alban's, and having the recommendation of beautiful scenery, a promising ligt, and fine weather, attracted a large attendance of all ranks, the holiday folks forming no inconsiderable portion. The course was laid out much on the old plan, and was abundantly supplied with' all that could tempt the appetite of the most robust or the most fastidious, while those whose love of excitement was not sufficiently fed by the racing, had ample opportunities of gratifying it in the gaming booths, which, as usual, made a formidable display; we sus pect, however, that this game is nearly " playedout," and that the time is not very far distant, when a gambling tent will not be looked upon as an indispensable feature in the " fitting up" of a race-course.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per male, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per, ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 40k., and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 57k., it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. • . -By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 7, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 107 k per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.32 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. SUN.—The English Market has been firm at 921 to 92* for Money, and 92i to 93* for the Account ; Bank Stock; 167 to 168 ; India Stock, 249 to 250 ; and Ex chequer Bills, 38 to 40 prem. The prices in the Foreign Market were—Belgian, 101. ) 1 to 1021 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52/ to 52.1 ; the Five per Cents., 100 i to 101* ; Danish, 801 to 811; and Brazilian, 67 to 68. The quotations of Mexican are, 37* 37i. In Railway Shares London and Birmingham were 178 to 181 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 163 to 165 ; Great We. tern, 92 to 93, the Half Shares, 77 to 78 ; South Western, 631 to 641 ; Gosport, 631 to 641 ; North Mid land, 65 to 67, the New Shares, 321 to 331 ; South Eastern and Dover, 30 to 301, the Scrip, 74. to 7f ; Eastern Counties, 91 to 94 ; Blackwell, 111 to 11 f ; New Shares, 91 to 94 ; and Brighton, 36a to 363 Money has been very scarce in the English market, and has varied from 3 to 10 per cent. in stock. This being set tling day in the Foreign Market, as much as 15 per cent. has been paid for the continuation on some of the bonds. The Foreign Exchanges were generally lower—Am sterdam, 12 41 to 12 4 ; Rotterdam, 12 4* to 12 4 1 ; Antwerp, 12 44d ; Hamburgh, 13 121 to 13 11* ; Paris, 25f. 80c. to 25f. 821 c. ; Vienna, 9 52* to 9 53i.

Our attention is led especially to " The Cruel Murder of old Father, Prout by a Barber's Ap prentice." Since the days of "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers" nothing so pungent has appeared in print_ ; full of p o i n t, caust i c in style, s i x pages could not be brought to contain satire more severe. It will be pronounced, in its way, to be the cleverest thing of the day. Before the writer dipped his pen in gall he apostrophisbd, we think, the shade of Byron. We had not thought one drop so bitter had been left - behind. The metre is that of • " Don Juan" —the " murder" is that of a tried hand. The subject we believe to be a legitimate field ; it is an answer made to an attack on" Father Prout" in Ainsworth's Magazine of last month, called the " Magpie of Marwood." The quarrel (there are principals and seconds) is a pretty ono as it stands, and Duller, of Pcwternose, has floored Buller, of Brazennose, for this round. We alm6St hope theoastig,ation is more severe than merited. Okr space will only permit us to give a bill of fare of the other articles in this first-rate-periodical, and a sweep ing testimony of merit :—" Richard Savage," " Pipes," " Mr. Makepeace the Duellist," The Two Interviews," " William Blanchard," " The Black Ram," "Experience made Easy,". , 'A Visit to Greenwich Fair, "' Philosophy of Law," " Rural Scenes," and " Horace Walpole," with a fine portrait, concludes the articles in prose. Those in verse are—" Paddy the Pantiler," "Blind Man and Summer," " Life and Songs of Anacreon," " Greek Poet's Dream," " Ballad," " The Spartan Mother," and lines from Martial.—Dublin Evening Mail. HOSTILE MEETING.—A hostile meeting took place at Marsden, near South Shields, on Saturday, at noon, between Mr. Richard Spoor, of Whitburn, one of the Sunderland borough magistrates, and Mr. Joseph John Wright, of Sunderland, solicitor. It is understood the point of difference arose out . of Mr. Wright's allusions to Dir. Spoor, in a letter addressed by Mr. Wright to the Marquis of Londonderry, and which was read by that Nobleman in the House of Lords on Monday evening last, and the parties exchanged shots without effect, when the seconds interposed ; an explanation took place; the parties shook hands, and left the ground with their friends. Mir. Spoor was attended by Mr. Crawford, son of the late M.P. for London, and Mr. Wright by Dr. Miller. This occurrence has caused a great sensation in Sunderland and the neighbourhood. HER MAJESTY'S BIRTII-DAY.—To-morrow being the day appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birth-day, the morning will be ushered in by a merry peal from the several churches of the metropolis. At one, p.m., the Park and Tower guns will fire a royal sa lute, the vessels in the river will display their various colours, and in every other respect the customary modes of marking loyal and dutiful feeling will be observed. In the evening, grand official banquets will be given by the Ministers and Grand Officers of State; and the public offices, club-houses, and the houses of her Majesty's tradespeople, will be brilliantly illuminated. Workmen commenced yesterday at the Senior United Service and Athenaeum in fixing the frame-work for the devices, transparencies, &c. The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 13th states, that ac cording to letters from Buchorest, dated the 24th ult., the opposition against Prince Ghika was becoming every day more violent ; it was feared that he would experience the fate of Prince Milosch. The Russian State Coun cillor Tscheffiin was expected at Belgrade, whence he would proceed to Buchorest. DEATH OCCASIONED BY EPSOM SALTS.—An in quest was held at Sawtrey on the body of Daniel Cox, a labourer, who died on Wednesday night. It appeared that the deceased was drinking at a public-house on Tuesday, and was rather intoxicated, when some persons in the room put a quantity of Epsom salts in his beer, which acted so violently upon, a constitution enfeebled by habitual drunkenness, as to occasion death on the following night, The Jury returned a verdict of " Man glaughtda.against Thomaa Staynton, William Ashbridge, Mary Scotney, and William Newton," the foolish per sons who administered the salts. The three former were held to bail to answer the charge, and the latter had not been taken into custody.—Stockport Advertiser.

The start w a s excellent, all getting off well, except Jumal, who lost two or three lengths. The pace was severe, and the front so level that nothing can be said to have made running until they were within the distance, when Humbug and Rook's-nest went in front, the former leading and win ning cleverly by about a length.

Humming Bird made the running, Pocket Viper lying second, and St. Jean D'Acre third, Bob Peel being in the rear with Currycomb. The races proceeded.with scarcely any variation to the cords, where St. Jean D'Acre gave up, and Bob Peel moved from the rear. At the dis tance Pocket Viper declined, and the three horses placed were left in front, Rosalind and Humming Bird being head and head, and Bob Peel half a length behind ; half way up he collared them, left them in a few strides, an won very easy by a length.

THE BOOK OF THE BASTMES, TO THE EDITOR 01 , ', THE SUIV: Sin,—l trust that you will be ,so courteous as to allow me space in your paper to mak,' a few 'observa tions upon the review of my "Book rsi . the 13 astiles," which appeared in The Sun of Monday even; ing last. There are some misrepresentations and misconcep tions in that review, friendly 'as I admit it to be, which I wish to rectify and explain ; and which, if permitted, unnoticed by me, to pass current in ao po pular and extensively circulated a newspaper, as I understand The Sun to be, would be calculated to ao my character, and that of my work, much injustice— whuld give both, to use a hackneyed quotation, a " heavy blow and great discouragement." 'ln the first place, you have made it appear to the public, that I am a very dangerous and discreditable subject, and that the principal tendency of my Anti- New-Poor-law writings is, to ' " Whisper low Unhallow'd vows to guilt, the child of woe," and incite the populace to r cts of insurrectionary and predatory violence against the friends and favourers of the New Poor-law, and, more especially, against the Poor-law Commissioners, and Mr. Edwin Chad- Witk-,their Secretary. , Your objectionable words are " Here . Mr. Baxter encourages young blackguards oftwenty-two, or there.- abouts, to commit burglaries in Somerset-house, and, perhaps murder both the Poor-law Commissioners,. and their poor Secretary, at one fell swoop." Really, Sir, no passage in my 4 ' book of the Bastiles" ctsn justify such a construction being put upon it, and certainly not the passage to which you have annexed the above scholium. If you will take the trouble to turn to page 53 of my work. you will perceive that the article from which the extract, which caused your inappro priate remark, is taken, is not addressed to the Poor law Commissioners at all ; but is entitled " What will he the End of it ? or A Few Words addressed to the British Nation, deprecating their Extre me Ap a thy i n the Affairs of the New Poor-law Amendment Act." And its tenour is to warn, not to threaten—not to ex cite violent feelings, but to point out, in vivid sooth saying, to the upper and middle classes, the moral, social, and national evils which will assuredly occur, if the administration of the Malthus se: be continued. I dare say these words of yours, against the use of which I am now entering my protest, were ps:inted by you without any malice prepftse, 'and merely - as a pleasant joke. It may be so; but,Jo use a prevalent Oxonianism, " jours non est jours ;" and I should noit in the least be surprised if this said joke of your s sub jected me to legal proceedings ; and that the Poor-law Commissioners, not contented with the cowardly and malignant manner in which they have persecuted me, ever since I commenced " coloneliing" against their abominable enactment, will now add a Crown pro secation to their previous pitiful proceedings ; and, in the end (for there is little, justice to be had in England in these latter days,) immure me in a gaol for libel, or sedition, or for some such ridiculous pre tence, as they will procure a ready verdict-made jury to call it. To that passage from my " Book of the Bastiles, " in which I hold u p m y vo i ce i n i n di gna ti on , " th at paupers' limbs should be tied up or mannacled, if at any time, in the bastile prisons, they happened to converse with their wretched friends and relatives ; and that the bodies of paupers should, without the decent ceremonial of book, bell, and pall, be trundled into an unconsecrated bole," &c., you have united the following :—" We have always under stood that those who died in workhouses were buried according to the rites of the Church of England; and and we never heard that manacles were used to re strain the inmates, like desperate malefactors." Now, nothing, I beg to say, could possibly be more annoying to my feelings than -to be suspected of publishing unfounded charges against the New Poor law—an enactment which has 'supplied an over abundance of cases of barbarity, without its requiring the manufacture of artificial grievances to create ab horrance of its cruel workings. ~ But to substantiate the fact th at those who die in union workhouses are - not always buried according to the rites of the Church of England : " House of Lords, April 25th, 1842.—Earl Stan hope presented a petition from Mr. William Roberts. The petitioner stated, .that he has traced the inter ment of about 354 dissected pauper bodies, between October, 1839, and July, 1841, to have been buried in an unconsecrated ground, called Globe-fields, and that an undertaker's man has represented a Church of England clergyman by reading the established Church Burial Service over the shells interred." With regard to the manacling of paupers' limbs in the union workhouse, and to show. that such treat ment his really occurred : "Amongst the cruelties exercised on the inmates of the Wisney union is the silent system. It appors that husband and wife, and that children are sepa rated, and never see each other, extept at meals, and then they are not allowed to speak to ei:ch other, on pain of being tied up, viz., by having one leg tied up, and being obliged to rest on the ether for half fill, hour."—Oxford Chronicle, Jan. 1, 1839. Here, I think, I have well substantiated the ewer tions which I have made in the pages of the "Book of the Pastiles," that the bodies of the poor who die irr the Bastiles are frequently (for 1 could bring forward much farther proof to corroborate the statement than Mr. Wil tam Roberts has adduced) " trundled into an unconsecrated hole, like deceased dogs, cats, rats, and stots ;" and that, in many a union workhouse, as a torture, the limbs of th e p au p er i nma t es h ave b een (and still are) "tied up and manacled."—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, G. R. WYTHEN BAXTER, Hereford, May 12, 1842. [We are still sceptical respecting the mode of burial and the ropes and manacles, notwithstanding the authority quoted by Lord Stanhope and the Oxford Chronicle The author did not mention the Commissioners certainly, when he described persons as being driven to desperate deeds by the severity of the Poor-law, but Mr. Baxter must know that a per son may be pointed out without his name being given.] FINE ARTS. ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION. We resume our notice of a few more of the pic tureS in this year's Exhibition, which has been delayed till now from want of space :—No. 10, An English Landscape, by Callcott, is a beautiful composition, true to nature, and finished off with great care in its details. No. 71, Ophelia, is by Redgrave, and chastely and skilfully embodies our conception of the character. This artist has also three other pictures in the Exhibition, one of which, No. 244, represents that famous heroine .1 the nursery tale, Cinderella, when about to try on the glass slipper. The. grouping :of this production is good; but we should have been glad to have seen a little more characteristic expression thrown into the countenance of the fair cinder-sifter. The malice de picted in the faces of the step-sisters, greatly assists the effect of the piece. No. 72, The Tired Soldier resti.nglot the Road-side Well, bears no indistinct re * semlgance to some of Wilkie's earlier efforts. No. 104, A Family about to lean le Home imploring Divine Protection, is from the pencil of Collins, who here shows himself possessed' of the quick sen sibility of the poet, as well as the skill and judgment of the painter. He has several other paintings in the Exhibition, but none, we think, that are so efficient as this. No. 126,V Landscape with Cattle, by Iteinagle, is something in Ruysdael's manner, and in saying this, we know not that we can give it higher praise. No. 128, Isola Bella, Logo Magiore, is anexquisite Italian landscape that has been often painted, but we know not that it has ever had more complete justice done it, than in the psesent instance by Stanfield, .who has brought out, in his most expressive, con amore style, all the characteristic features of a landscape which delighted the eye of Rosseau, and is perhaps the most eminently beautiful in Italy. No. 288, Highland Scenery, a Snow-storm passing off, is true to nature, and full of picturesque effect. Any one who is in the slightest ,degree acquainted with the peculiarities of a Highland landscape, will see at a glance that_ they are repre sented with the most scruptlous fidelity. The artist to whom we are indebted for this clever picture, is Lea, who is already favourably known to the public by his masterly sketches of English sylvan scenery. No. 294, Aaron staying the Plague, is but an indifferent conception, and is feebly worked out. No. 352, Market-Girl, eonthins some good points, but it bears evident marks of haste and negligence, especially as regards the drapery, which is slovenly handled. No. 360, Viiginia discovered by the Old Man and Domingo, is taken, as the title im ports, from one of the most affecting incidents in the well-known scene of " Paul and Virginia." The mournful expression of the old man's face is very effectively pourtrayed.• No. 379, Il Voto, or the Convalescent, is a carefully-finished production, by Williams. N" o. 485, The . Covenanter's Mar riage. is too much of an imitation of a clever painting, entitled the " Covenanter's Wedding," by M'lan, which appeared in the last year's Exhibition. Mr. Johnstone should have trusted' more to his own resources, which are by no means of an inferior order. His sketch shows marks of a free and ready pencil. No. 410, Two Children, representing an old man and a child blowing bubbles, is an ingenious idea cleverly executed. Nc. 1,250 Harold, the Dauntless, is the p oe ms, and exhibits coins natura l and f orc ib le representation of a striking incid en t i n Si r W alter Scott's coloUring• There are Numerous other able pictures in the Exhibition, but we must reserve - a notice of them for some more leisure dny. From the 30th ultimo till the 10th instant, inclu sive (eleven days), no fewer than 721 vessels passed the Sound.
