ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. pay 61 for the press, which I did. Two days after wards they came to look at it, and took an im pression in red ink of the back ground of the front plate, and said the " gentleman" did not like the impression in black ink, and wanted to see it in red in which it was to be printed. On the 4th of November I went with my assistant to Faderman's at Kennington, where the other prisoners also were, taking with me an impression of the beck of the note to show them for their approval. Fader man read it, and Lauri() corrected the errors wth a pen. He read it in a foreign language as I could do English. There were about 2.5 corrections in it, and before they were made Federman and Lourio com municated together. Before I left Faderman's that day Lourio produced what I believe to be a Bible in Hebrew and English, and said to me the "gentleman" wished me to swear that I would lose no time in exe cuting the work, and that I would pay no attention to any other work but theirs till I hai done it. I went through the ceremony of swearing on the book. The others were sworn also, and then we shook hands and parted. On the 20th of November my man and I went to Faderinen's lodgings, with impressions printed of the note entire, all bat the figures 40. Federman was alone, and he examined it, and said, " Good, good," and we were again, sworn. He handed the book to me, and kissed it, and gave it to me ; and he said " Lose no time," and I kissed the book. The witness in the course of his evidence particularised the varicus sums of money he re ceived as he proceedeein — tke work, and described the frequent visits he had received and paid up to the day on which the prisoners were apprehended by John and Daniel Forrester, the Mansion-house officers. Mr. ARNOLD said he was so much surprised at the extraordinary nature of the proceedings, when the matter was first brought under his notice, that he had been unable to give that attention to the terms of the Act under which they were taken which was neces sary to arrive at a correct judgment upon the case. After a careful perusal of the 4Sth section of the statute upon which the course against the defendant was grounded, he was clearly of opinion that its intention was solely to refer to persons who were paupers in the ordinary sense of the word, and receiving relief from the parish funds, whereas in this instance it was shown that the defendant was a gentleman and a professional person, and, so far from being a common pauper, voluntarily seeking aid from the parish, had been in veigled into the workhouse, ani forcibly detained there against his will, which he considered was not sufficient to render him chargeable within the meaning of the act. Having arrived az; this conclusion, after mature deliberation, he considered that it was not in his province to determine whether the defendant was a lunatic or not, as tille case had not properly come within his jurisdiction, and he mast therefore order the defendant to be forthwith discharged. ::linrnediately the Magistrate pronounced his decision, Mr.. Bowers, the medical attendant upon Mr. Eliot's family, and another gentleman, named 'Wise, stepped forward to obtain warrants against the defendant, for using threatening language towards the former, and assaulting the latter, both of which offences were alleged to have been committed in the interval which had elapsed since the defendant was last before the magistrate. _ SIR I.

The witness underwent a long cress examination by Mr. Norton and Mr. Isaacs, the object of which appeared to be to sh , iw that, inasmuch as the prisoners were not actually engaged in the work of engraving and printing, and no issue of the notes had taken place, there was no legal offence committed by them The witness said he had never engraved any plates of the kind before, nor been before a witness in such a case.

(Signed) 11. J. and D. NICOLL, Dec. I, 1849. REGENT-STRBET and COItNHILL. THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by MIZSSIZS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of Eider Down to the several purposes of wearing apparel, but inure particularly in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and Utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved. Elders are fouid in greatest numbers in Iceland and tho Ferr Islands, where their beautiful and delicate dowi is well known to bi Proof against the most severe coil, and even the small quantitj Whieh can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wit serve in the formation of a raletit, which, while it has mest extra ordinary lightness, has, neverthei&s, more warmth than the fines , and thickest blanket, the great desidera . um for a winter garment being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue. Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and retail wareromns, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT. STRMET, and 22, COtNIIILL, Lonion. TilE NICOLL is the distinguishing name given to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from general imitation. It has all till advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S orLdnal intention, the REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH. The NIGOLL7PILETOTS are chargol One, Two, Three, and Three-and a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur pose for which they may be required, 114, 11G, and 120, REGENT-STRIET ; also 22, CORIIIIILL facing the Exchan&e. THE SEAL FUR PALETOT . The costly nature of the material will necessarily confin. the use of Ibis garment to a :elect few ; but he who can afford the expense will pronounce it to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and luxn - ions article of dress that can possibly be conceived. Messrs. :NICOLL will, however, continue to supply the SEAL FUR PALETOT at its present moderate prise —that is to say, so long as the demand does net interfere with the supply ; for it must be borne in mind that the namber of Seal Shins in the English market • is vary limited-Lat least such as are capable of a laptation to the Present ptirpose, that of being formed into the gra. fal garment called NICOLL'S PA LET )T.

VIIRISTMAS.—One of the new patented inven tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DONV%r PALETOT will doubtless form a most . acceptable gift at the approaching season of festivity, when it is somewhat dif2cult to se'ect the best token of friendship or affection. Tho lightness and warmth of this garment Will render it highly setviceable for covering an evening costume Without causing the least disarrangement and (coin the peculiarity or the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea surement being taken, as merely some slight description of height or aPnearance will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER DOWN PA.LETOT, at the cost of SIX tiMNEAS, and which may f airly be described as one of the beet preservatives of health ester yet introduced to the Public.

Perry, Surgeons, are in atten- Jance iitaiy at 19, zicruerii-street, Oxford-street, London, from Ele ven till Tim, Aud rive to Biftit : on duudaya from Nic,Ten to Oia John Robinson was indicted for forgery. Mr. Monk and Air. Joseph Pollock prosecuted, Mr. James defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner had planned and exe cuted a series of forgeries which have been carried on in Manchester, the metropolis, and elsewhere with great ingenuity and success. The fraud consisted in forging cheques on the different banks, by obtaining by some means the genuine signatures of the parties who kept accounts at the several bankers', and then in skilfully filling up cheques, signing the name, and obtaining the money. Apprehensive of detection when getting the cheques cashed, a plan was devised for making use of persons unconscious that any such fraud was being practised. In the case now tried, the prisoner was indicted for having, on the 28th of April last, at Manchester, forged a cheque for the Elllll of 3251. 95., with intent to defraud William Burton. In a separate count he was cherged with uttering merely. It appeared, from the statement of counsel and the witnesses called, that on the 1841 of April there appeared an advertisement in the Liverpool Courier, for a young man required to fill a commercial situa tion. A young man named Frederick Whitfield, now clerk in a house in Dublin, answered this advertise ment ; and subsequently received a letter from the prisoner,. who adopted the name of Whittam." Whitfield was requested by thr writer to `meet him at the Corn Exchange, in Manchester ; and they met there accordingly. Prisoner, after talking with Whitfield for some time, and representing himself to be a corn-merchant, left for a while, saying that he had some one to see. Oa his return he requested Whitfield to go and get cash for the cheque in ques tion, which the other agreed to do. The cheque was on the bank of Sir Benjamin 'Heywood and Co., and purporting to be drawn by Mr. William Burton, who, it appeared, had kept an account at that bank for some time before. Whitfield went to the bank, re ceived the money is six 501. Bank of England notes, and the remainder in cash, and brought it to the prisoner. Prisoner then asked him to carry the notes to the Branch Bank of England, in King.. street, Manchester, and get them exchanged for gold, giving him sixpence to pay for a bag to put the cish in, and observing that he did not like to go as the bankers were jealous of being called on to pay in cash. Whitfield thereupon went to the branch hank and got the gold, prisoner having en dorsed the notes, " Whittatn, Preston." Te prove the guilty knowledge in the prisoner, on the charge of uttering, there were several other similar previous utterings by him. Two of these were made subjects of distiect charges by two other indictments. The prisoner had obtained by these means, in the whole, about 1,5001. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—To be transported For twenty years. NISI PitiUS COURT.— (Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) Thomas Hardman was charged with having mar ried Jane Haswell, his former Wife being then alive. Mr. Monk prosecuted; Mr. Joseph Pollock de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was married on the bt of January, 1835, at Bolton, to one Eliza Raws thorne, by whom he had several children, who, having become chargeable to the parish at Wigan, the poor law guardians instituted the present proceeding, havi- g discovered that the prisoner was married at Gretna Green on the 14th of November, 1347, to Jane Haswell, who was a barmaid at an inn in CarliAe, from which place they eloped, and were duly married by John Murray, a toll-collector near the border. The-first marriage having been proved, and the second wife having given evidence as to the second marriage, the Counsel for the prosecution called John Murray, who said I am a toll collector at Alison's Bank, in the parish of Gretna. I produce register of inarriages which I keep (the following is an extract) " Alison's Bank Toll-house, Parish of Gretna, Scotland, 14th November, 1847. " We, Thomas Hardman, residing in the parish of St. Mary's, in the county of Cumberland, and Jane Has well, residing in the parish of St. Mary's, in the county of Cumberland, d, hereby acknowledge ourselves to be married parsons ' in testimony whereof we have re- - quested Wilrn laGraliam and William M'Can to sign this as witnesses to the genuineness of our signatures. " WM. Graham. " THOS. HARDMAN, rl his mark. " Wm. Al'Can. " JANE HASWELL, k her mark." Witness, in continuation—When the parties came into the room I asked them to stand up. I said, " Are you, Thomas Hardman, a single, unmarried. man ?" and he said, " Yes." I then said, " Are you, Jane Haswell, a single, unmarried woman ?" and she said, " Yes." I the❑ asked Thomas Hardman if he took Jane Haswell to be his lawful wife, and he said, " Yes." I then asked Jane Haswell if she took Thomas Hardman to be her lawful husband, and she said, " Yes." I then told Thomas Hardman to put a ring on her finger; and he having done so, I asked them if they declared themselves to be man and wife before God n d the wittpesses, and they said " Yes." This ia a usual form of marriage in Scotland. Cross-examined by Mr. PohLocx—My place is called Alison's Toll-bar. I am nearer Carlisle than Mr. Linton's, the original blacksmith.

Samuel Lourio, Bernard Gordon, and Loderick Faderman, underwent a long examination on Tuesday evening before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of having engraved plates in imitation of the plates used by the Imperial Bank of Russia, with which notes are struck off for issue, and with having prepared the spurious notes with intent to defraud the Russian Government. Mr. Clarkson attended for the Emperor of Russia, instructed by Mr. Peachy, from Messrs. Oliverson and Co., Old Jewry; Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Norton at tended for the prisoners. Mr. Clarkson, who had produced upon the first examination of the prisoners as much evidence as he considered to be necessary to justify a remand, went upon the present occasion into a full detail of the circumstances of the case. He prefaced his statement by representing that the law considered as guilty those who committed, through the instrumentality of an innocent person, an illegal act, without at all in volving the latter, although aware of the fraudulent intention of the persons accused. He then, in the clearest manner, described the whole progress of the work, and called Mr. Feger, from whose evidence we select what was not adduced upon the first exa mination, and which was as follows :—I first saw Gordon 18 months ago, when he came and gave me an order to prepare cards for him. On the same evening I saw Lourio and Gordon, and the latter said he did not like to see any young man about, and that the business must be transacted with me alone. In engraving a plate of this description there are various branches of the trade engaged, and I employed several assistante, Four . plates were necessary (be sides .the numbering on either side of the bottom in the arclee) to complete the note. Lourio and Gordon paid me three half-crowns to buy the copper before I saw Federman, whom they called the " gentleman." I received no other money until September, when they said the gentleman had arrived, but I had asked before, and they made excuses. In the middle of that month I received from Lourio, in the presence of Gordon ' a blue five-rouble not e , that I m i g ht engrave a fee-simile of the back for a ten•rouble note, and after that order was finished I was to have a good order for the blue. When Lourio gave me the five rouble note, he made a comparison with an eyeglass of the back of the ten-rouble note, to see if they were the same. 'When I entered the house in which Federman was, they appeared to shield me from the observation of any one, and locked the door of the room in which we were. There was a rumbling in the next room, and they looked in, and sent down a woman who was making the bed. After some conversation, I said, " When the plates were finished I should go into the country, take the plates with me, and there work off the notes." On the 29th of September I took to the lodging of Federman, at Kennington, the print of the front plate, with the writing and the arms on it. I showed it to all the prisoners, who handed it to a foreigner who was with them, and held it up to the light of the candle to see if the watermark was right, and they appeared satisfied, and spoke to me about taking a house in the country. On the 12Th of October Lourio and Gordon came again to me, and gave me 1/. to pay a deposit for a press which we had been looking at, and about a fortnight afterwards they gave me 41. 145., and told me to add 65. to it and Mr. Clarkson stated that Mr. Feger hid acted with a great deal of judgment and discretion in applying, the moment he discovered the intentions of the pri• soners to be fraudulent, to his s , licitors, Messrs. Wire and Chill, and acting exactly according to their advice. The Learned Counsel requested that the prisoners might be remanded from time to time until the arrival of the necessary witm:s<es from Russia. The LORD Mayon acquiesced, and remanded the prisoners till Tuesday next.

George Clamp, of 4, Flask-row, Ebury street, Pimlico, was bough: up for furthee examination, charged with having presented a forged cheque for 4901. at the banking house of Messrs. Child and Co., Fleet-street. At the previous examination Mr. Alfred Mortimer, clerk in the house of Messrs. Child and Co., stated that on the 6th instant the prisoner presented a cheque for 4901., purporting to be drawn by F. J. H. Temple, of Park-lane, solicitor, on Messrs. Child and Co. Mr. Temple had an account at their house, but witness detected that it was a forgery, although the handwriting was on excellent imitation of that gentle. man's. He accordingly questioned the p r i soner as t o who gave it to him, and he replied that he met a short gentleman coming from Lord Brownl ow ' s i n Bel grave-square, who requested him (prisoner) to get it cashed for him. He had not seen the gentleman before, but was to take the money back to the same place. On being further questioned he said he was a servant out of place, but was in the habit of jobbing in the Queen's-mews, and other places, at the same time mentioning the name of Mr. Lewis, the manager of her Majesty's stables. He was then given into custody, and when brought here Mr. Temple deposed to the chequa not being in his handwriting, although it was an excellent imitation. Mr. Mortimer now handed a bundle of cheques in Mr. Temple's handwriting for the Alderman to examine, and called his attention to one in particular, and the forged one that had beenhresented. Alderman MUSGROVE, after Ci'6fully comparing a great number of them, .asked Mr. Temple if the chequq for 201. to a )4r..„Poile was in his hand writing, at the same time hapding the cheque fur his inspection. Mr. Temple (after examining it)—Yes ; I believe it is. Alderman MUSGROVE—You believe it is. Do not you know your own handwriting ? Mr. Temple—lt is my handwriting, although same persons say it is not. The fact is, Mr. Coyle owed me 301. and gave me a note for 50/, and I gave him this cheque for 20/., that being the balance of the note. Alderman MUSGROVE—You should have said at first it was your writing, and not that you believed it was. Did you ever see the 20/. cheque before you were told that the 4901. cheque was a forgery ? Mr. Temple—The cheque being in my handwriting 1 must have seen it before I heard of the forged one. Alderman MUSGRQVE—Then the cheque for 4901 is not your writing ? Mr. Temple—The 201. cheque is mine, but I repudiate the 490/. cheque. Alderman Musenovis asked if Mr. Coyle received the 201. ? Mr. Mortimer said he did, on the same day it was written. He bad spoken to Mr. Coyle since, and he declared that from the time he received it from Mr. Temple, he never parted with it until he presented it at the bank about three o clock the same day. Alderman MUSGROVE asked whether the 4001. would have been paid had the forgery not been dis covered? Mr. Mortimer said it would, without reference to the account. Alderman MUSGROVE—And if you had done so Messrs. Child and Co. would have been at the loss ? Mr. Mortimer—Most decidedly. Ald man Mufc ROVE-It appears to me that the 201. cheque and the 4901. cheque are evidently in the same handwriting, while all the other cheques of Mr. Temple are quite different, and that seems to me to be the most mysterious part of the affair. Mr. Temple—The 201. cheque is mine, and is written on a different paper to the 4901. one. Alderman MUSGROVE-Still the handwriting is the same on both. Was Mr. Coyle present ? Daniel Forrester, in whose hands the case is now placed to trace out the guilty parties, said that he was not. He had seen Mr. Coyle that morning, but no intimation had been given to him for his at tendance. Mr. Mortimer said he hoped the Alderman would grant a further remand, as ho had written to the country respecting another cheque which had been presented at the bank, but he had received no answer. Alderman Musonovs thought it most desirable that the ends of justice should not b 3 defeated in what he considered a most singular case, and therefore the prisoner was remanded until Fri day next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Laurin, Smith appeared to answer a charge - of perjury preferred against her by Benoni Joseph Mo. relle, a foreign upholsterer, living in \largaret-street, Cavendish- square. The defendant had sworn a child to the prosecutor, and had produced such convincing evidence as in duced the magistrate to make an order on the prose cutor for the payment of 2s, 61. per week. The order was appealed against, but the sessions confirmed it. The prosecutor then preferred a bill for perjury before the grand jury, but the grand jury would not entertain it. The prosecutor then brought the young woman to this court, and engaged Mr. Ballantine to prefer a charge of perjury against her. Mr. Davis, of Boswell-court, solicitor, defended the young woman. The prosecutor swore that he never was intimate with the young woman, who was one of his work women; that he never slept with her at any house; that he never gave her money; that he never ironed her gown for her at her lodgings, having only on one occasion called at her lodgings and put her in the way of doing this piece of work, the same way as it was done in France; and, further, that he never called on the young woman on the 4th of May and the 19th of May, he being at that time on the continent. On the other side evidence was produced to show that the prosecutor had slept all night with the young woman at a coffee-shop; that he had called with hif, wife on the 4'h of May at the young woman's lodg ings, being the day when she was confined, and gave her money ; that he had several times given her money; and that on the 19:h of M:y he also called on the young woman and saw her at her lodgings, and gave her more money. Mr. HARDWICK made some pointed observations on the case, and immediately dismissed the charge. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. James Eliot, vestry-clerk of St. 'Jude's, White chapel, a presbyter of Dr. Dillon's Reformed Church, in White's-row, Bethnal-green, officiating minister for a considerable period of a congregation assembling for worship at a chapel in the City, and by profession a solicitor, appeared before Mr. Arnold, at the instance of the parish authorities of St. Mary, Whitechapel, to undergo the reoessary examination as to the state of his mind, preparatory to na order being issued, under the Bth and 9th of ictoria, chap. 126, sec. 48, for his removal to a proper asylum, as an alleged pauper lunatic chargeable to that parish. Mr. ARNOLD ordered the defendant to put in two substantial bail, in 301. each, for his peaceable be haviour towards the complainant until the next exa mination, and the defendant, who laboured under much excitement, bring unable to procure them, was transferred to the House of Detention in the prison van.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF LOUIS HEARY SHAD WELL, ESQ. Tile localities of Barnes, Putney, Mortlake, and Richmond have been thrown into a state of great sensation by the discovery of the body of Mr. Louis Henry Shadwell, barrister-at-law, and second son of Sir Launcelot Shadwell, the Vice-Chancellor of England, in a ditch dividing Barnes Elms park, the residence of the Vice-Chancellor, from a farm in the occupation of a Mrs. Sharpe. The circumstances attending this most melancholy affair are at present enveloped in much mystery, but it may be as well to state at once that there is not the slightest ground for the supposition that the death was otherwise than accidental. The deceased had for a long time past used as his dormitory a room in the lodge at Barnes Elms-park, whica opens into the lower road leading to Putney; and to reach this from the mansion it was necessary to traverse the park a distance of a quarter of a mile. The last time the deceased was seen alive WAS at half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night, when the butler opened the wicket-gate, and SAW Mr. Louis Shadwell on the path which led direct across the path to the Gothic-lodge. The night was not only dark, but there was a dense fog. Elie deceased was, however,' so accustomed to the route, that he declined the aid of a lantern, and as nothing more was heard of him by the family that night, it was presumed that he had reached the lodge in safety. On the following (Monday) morning the woman who has charge of the lodge, finding that Mr. Shadwell did not make his appearance at the cus tomary time, went up to his sleeping apartment and knocked several times; ` receiving no answer she became alarmed, 'and ammunicate% with the butler, - who procured a ladder, and, obtaining admittance to the room, the appearance of the bed, &c., convinced the butler that Mr. Shad well had not occupied the room the previous night. Upon the family becoming acquainted with that fact, a messenger was dispatched to Mr. Shad well's chambers, in Kings Bsnch-wa!k, Tem ple; and it having been ascertained that deceased had not been there, the worst fears began to be entertained. In consequence of the inquiries that were set on foot by the podce, it appeared that the landlord of the Crabtree, at Hammersmith, which is exactly opposite the Vice-Chancellor's seat, and a bargeman, heard on Sunday night, from about a quarter to eleven o'clock till a (outer past, shrieks from the Surrey shore as from a woman, and the words " Oh, Lord! oh, Lord !" repeated several times. These parties pro ceeded to Hammersmith bridge, obtained a boat and lights, and on reaching the spot from whence the cries proceeded, alaiely perceived the mark of a naked hu man foot, particularly small, on the towing path ; and this fact strengthened their previous opinion that it was a woman, but they were unable to discover any thing further. On the landlord and bargeman being taken to the same place, at noon on Tuesday, they pointed out where they had traced the footmarks to, and in a ditch on taa inner side of what is termed a cottar bank, made to prevent the influx of the tile, police-constable Line, 282 V., and Boyce, the Vice-Chancellor's gardener, found the body of Mr, Louis Shad well; the water was not more than two feat six inches cl-ep, hut the deposit of mud was still deeper. One glance showed that the unfortunate gentleman had lain there many hours. Dr. Willis was sent for, and made an external examination of the body, which it should be stated was dressed, with the exception of the feet, which were naked ; there was no trace of the shoes, but deceased's socks were found in his pockets; his.tro a - sers and other portions of his dress had been much torn, apparently by the brambl e s at the side of the ditch, which the deceased had evidently caught at to save himself, if possible, in his downward descent. A ring and other valuable property were on his person, showing that the deceased had not been the victim of robbery. The general supposition is, that the deceased on leaving the mansion diverged out of the right path, owing to the heavy fog, and fell into the sluice connecting the lake with the river. The tide being then up, and Mr. Shadwell, being a most noted and fearless swimmer, it is presumed he swam out into the river, and then landed on the towing-path; and that in endeavouring to regain the park he inadvertently fell into the ditch, where it was evident his struggles had been most terrific to extricate himself. The cries heard by the landlord of the Crabtree and the barge man were, doubtless, those of the unfortunate gen tleman. ST. MARY-LE-STRAND PAROCHIAL SCHOOL—The friends and supporters of this invaluable institution dined together on Tuesday, at the Piazzl Coffee-house, Covent-garden, John Glenny, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. Sixty-five gentlemen sat down to dinner. The amount of subscriptions announced was 601. The festi vities were kept up till a very late hour. TLIE BIAMINGUAM CATTLE Snow.—BraMINGUAM, WEDNESDAY.—The first public exhibition to-day was attended by an immense concourse of persons, many of whom came from a great distance. Colonel Wemys, one of the equerries to Prince Albert, was present, and his Royal Highness remitted 501. towards the expenses of the show. The stock exhibited is fast selling, at good if not extravagant prices. The dinner to-morrow at the Town-hill bids fair to conclude the proceedings of the third day with eciat, and, as far as can at pros sent be judged, the success of the exhibition will be somplete. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last a serious accident occurred at the Caledonian Railway statio❑ at Coatbridge, by which a person named John M'Neil, who is a spirit-dealer in New Wyed, was seriously injured. It appears that M'Neil had been at Coatbridge on some business, and, after hia taking his ticket in the evening to return to Glasgow, instead of going into the station house, ho crossed the line to the down side. It being very dark at the station at the tirae, he did not observe that the Si train from Glasgow was approaching; and, while in the act of crossing the line, he was caught by the engine and dragged forward. He had both his legs broken, and was otherwise severely injured. He was afterwards removed to the Glasgow station, whence he teas carried home on a stretcher ►n a very weak condi tion. It is feared that amputation of one or both his limbs will be necessary to save his life.—Glasgow Paper. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Wednesday afternoon a man considerably more than half-tipsy, made his ap rearance at the Barrhead Railway station, and endea voured to get a place on the locomotive beside the engine driver. This, of course, was denied; but the hair-brained fellow, under the influence of his potations, contrived to get himself perched in the middle of the train, with his feet resting upon the buffers of ono of the passenger carriages, where he was not discovered till after the train was in motion. It is almost marvellous that the ;nen was not killed on the spot; but the engine was fortunately stopped in time, and the infatuated individual removed to more secure quarters in the Gorbal's Police-effise. He was examined before Baillie Bryson, on a charge of disorderly conduct, and fined in the sum of 55., N%ith a suitable warning from the bench of the narrow escape he had made with his life,--Glasgow paper. Our obituary of to day records the death of this distinguished engineer. By birth he was a French man, but his life and genius were almost wholly devoted to the invention and construction of works of great public utility in this country. Sir I. Brunel was born at Hacqueville, in Normandy, slaw in the Department de l'Eure, in the year 1769; a year since remarkable for having given birth to many eminent men. His family has for many centuries held, and now hold, the estate on which he was born ; and the name of Brunel is found constantly mentioned in the ancient archives of the province. He was educated for the church, with the prospect .of succeeding to a living, and was accordingly sent at an early age to the sensinary of St. Nicain, at Rouen. But he soon evinced so strong a predilection for the physical sciences, and so great a genius fur mathematics, that the superiors of the establishment recommended he should be educated for some other profession than that of the church. His father strongly objected to his adopting the profession of an engineer, as one more likely to prove beneficial to others than him self, and he therefore determined that he should he educated for the navel service, in which he thought his , son's proficiency in mathematics might lay the foun dation of his advancement in that profession. At the proper age he entered the royal navy, being indebted fir his appointment to the Mereschal de Cestries, then the Minister of Marine. On one, occasion he surprised his captain by producing a sextant and quadrant of his own construction, and which he used for making observations. He made several voyages to the West Indies, and returned home in 1792. At this time the French Revolution was at its height. As Mr. Brunel entertained Roy alist opinions, which he was not very careful to suppress, his life was more than once in danger, and he WES, like many others at that time, forced to seek safety in flight. He emi grated to the United States, where necessity, fortu nately, compelled him to follow the natural bent of his mind, and to adopt the profession of a civil en gineer. He was first engaged to survey a large tract of land near Lake Erie. Ile wars employed in building the Bowery Theatre, in New York, which not many y ears ago was burnt down. He furnished plans for canals, and for various machines connected with a cannon earidiy then being established in the state of New York. About the year 1799 he had matured his plans for sleeking ship hicks by machinery. The United States was not then the field for so inventive a genius as Brunel's. He determined upon visiting England and offering his services and plans for this purpose to the British Geverninent. Lord Spencer, then we believe First Lori of the Admiralty, b Tame his friend and patron. He became a frequent guest at Spencer house, and never failed to speak warmly of the assistance and encouragement he derived from the friendship of Lord and Lady Spencer. From this time he continued to reside in England, and refused to entertain many propositions made to him to leave England and settle abroad under the ausp'cis of other Governments. After much opposition to his plans, for a very powerful opposition was arrayed against him, not lessened in that day by his being a French man, he was employed to execute them in P o rt smou th dockyard. To perfect his designs and to erect the machinery was the arduous labour of many years. IVith a true discrimination he selected Mr. Henry Maudslay to assist in the execution of the work, and thus, possibly, was hid the foundation of one of the most extensive engineering establishments in the kingdom, and in which, perhaps, a degree of ecience and skill has been combined and applied to mechanical invention and improvement scarcely exceeded by any other in the world. The block machinery was finished in 1806, and has continued ever since in lull operation, supplying our fleet with blocks of a very superior description to those previously in use, and at a large annual saving to the public. It was esti mated at the time that the saving in the first year amounted to 24,0001. per annum ; and about two thirds of that sum were awarded to Mr. Brunel. It is needless to describe the originality and beauty of this well-known machinery. Even after the lapse of forty years, notwithstanding the marvellously rapid strides we have made in the improvement and con struction of machines of all kinds, it remains as effective as it was when first erected, and unaltered. It is still an object of admiration to all persons in tierested in mechanism, A few years afterwards he waVemployedeby Government to erect sawmill., upon a new principle, in the dockyards of Chatham 'and Woolwich. Several other inventions were the 'off spring of his singularly fertile mind about this timl —the circular saw, for cutting veneers of valuable woods, and the beautiful little machine for winding cotton thread into balls, which greatly extended its consumption. About two years before the termina tion of the war Mr. Brunel, under the countenance of the Duke of York, invented a machine for making shoes fur the army by machinery, the value . and cheapness of which were fully appreciated, and they were extensively used; but the peace of 1815 lessen ing the demand, the machinery was ultimately laid aside. Steam navigation also at that time attracted his attenti,n. He was engaged in the building of one of the first liergsgate st9amboats, and, we believe, introduced the principle of the double engine for the purpose. He also induced the Admiralty to alliw him to build a vessel to try the experiment of towing ships out to sea, the possibility of which was then denied. Many other objects of great public utility occupied his mind, -which in this mere outline of a long and active life must be excluded. The visit of the Emperor Alexander to this country, after; the peace, led him to submit to the Emperor a plan for making a tunnel under the Neva, where the accumulation of ice, and the suddenness with which it breaks up on the termination of winter, rendered the erection of a bridge a work of great difficulty. This was the origin of his plan fier a tunnel tinder the Thames, which had been twice bfore attempted witheut success. In 1824, how per, a company was formed, and supported by th e puke of Wellington, who took from first to last a deep in terest in the week. Many men of science also joined it, amongst whom the late Dr. Wollaston was !the most prominent, and whose brother long continued one of the ino.t active and able promoters of the scheme. The work was commenced in 1824. It Was stopped more than once during its progress by the breaking in of the river, and more effectually at last by the exhausted finances of the company, which never extended beyond the command of 180,0001. At length, after the suspension of the work for many years, by a special Act of Parliament a loan was sanctioned, the Exchequer Loan Commissioners advanced the funds necessary for the completion of the work under the river, and, notwithstanding many weighty profes• sional opinions were advanced against tke practica bility of the work, from both the loose alluvial nature of the soil through which it bad to te constructed, and the superincumbent flood of water, it was finished and opened to the public in 1843. In a scientific point of view this work will always be regarced as display ing the highest professional ability, an amount of energy and perseverance rarely exceeded, and a fer tility of invention and resources under what were deemed insurmountable difficulties, which will always secure to Sir I. Brunel a high place amongst the engineers of this country. During Lord Melbourne's Administration Mr. Brunel received the honour of knighthood, on the recommendation of the late Lord Spencer, then Lord Althorp. Sir I. Brunel was a vice-president of the Royal Society, a corresponding member of the Institute of France, and a vice presi dent of the Institution of Civil Engineers. He was also a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. He was unaffected, simple in his habits, and benevolent, end as ready to do a kind act as he was to forget an in jury. lie died in his 81st year, after a long illness, which first visited him soon after the completion of the Tunnel. The care, anxiety, and constant strain of body and mind, brought on a slight attack of paralysis, from which he never thoroughly recovered. He leaves a widow, Lady Brunel, one son, the eminent engineer, and two daughters, the eldest married to Mr. Hawes, the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the youngest to the Rev. Mr. Harrison, the vicar of New Brentford. LEASE OF TUB CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTON- Suing RAILWAY —This railway has been leased for a period of six years, to Messrs. G. and J. Burns, the well-known etetim-'oat proprietors, on the following term. :—First year, nett 5,0001., yielding 2i per cent. ; second year, nett 7,0001., yielding 3i per cent. ; third year, nett 9,000/ , yielding 4} per cont. ; fourth year, nett 10.0001., yielding 5 per cent. ; fifth year, 10,0001., yielding 5i per cent. ; sixth year, nett 11,0001, yielding 5i per cent. The capital required to complete the hue and meet the outlay of every description, is estimated not to exceed 200,0001. It is biliewed that it will not be necessary to make any further call ; but even ii this should be required, it will not incrcese the capital be yond the sum stated. It is rumoured that the Messrs. Burns are backed by the Forth and Clyde Canal Com pany and certainly the Parliameztary notices in the newspapers give an appearance of probability to the rumour. But desirable as this connexion would be, tha high standing and respectability of the lessees render the arrangement as it now stands perfectly satisfactory.— Scottish Railway Gazette. DEATII OF - MR. DEPUTY DIXON.—This gentle man, well known in the City circles from his long cr,n nexion with the ward of Cripplegate Without, died yes terday mc.rning at the advanced age of 73. his decease was not unexpected, ho had suffered from illness for some time past. lie has left a numerous family to mourn his lon. tRTSMOUTIET, DEC. 12.—The result of the late tof Inquiry on board the Eurydice was promel this afternoon on board that vessel. Captain H. Cheds, C.B ,of the temporary flag-Ship Excellent, went on board and read the Admiralty letter an• nouncing the result, which was that Mr. Drury, clerk, and Mr. Wortley, acting mate, be summarily dis missed from her Majesty's service; that 111 r. Patterson, acting mate, and Mr. Ramsey, midshipman, lose one year's time ; that Mr. Cator, acting mate, Mr. 'Wilds, second master, and Mr. Freeman, clerk, lose six months' time; and that Mr. Lushington and Mr. Drake, naval cadets, lose three months' time ; all the latter to be admonished t be more circumspect in their conduct in future. We may now announce under what circumstance s the abo ve pun i s h ments have been inflicted :—lt appears that the midshipmen's mess took in for the voyage home a larger amount of live stock than the service permits, and without fodder for the stock. Thirteen sheep were among this stock, a number never heard of in such a mess before, and which caused the First Lieutenant to remonstrate with the."young gentlemen" upon the subject, but with no satisfactory result, the mess " arguing the point" with that important officer. The first lieutenant then granted them 10 of the sheep, and requested that the other three might be killed or disposed of. This was r4used, and the for mer officer thereupon ordered the three to be killed, giving the mess the option of salting the carcases for provisions. This they would not do, and when the careves became (1( composed, and therely highly offensive and injurious to the health of the ship's company, the first lieutenant ordered them to be thrown overboard, which was dore. This brought upon hlin all the ire of the midshipmen's mess, and they wished to bring him to trial hy court-martial ; else charging him with eating cauliflower of theira, we presume), " knowing the same to.have been stelen.' A court of inquiry sat on hoard in this harbour two de :-s lest week, and thoroughly investigated the case, fully reporting to the Admiralty the evidence pro and con The above edjudication, to-day put in force, will let the public and she service know the final result, and will serve to show that discipline must be preserved, especially in thef•ie ranks whence is expected to be shown a good example to others less fortunate in point of position, and more prone to corruption from evil communications, than ihernaelves. So salutary and so summary a lesson cannot he with out its fullest effect upon the rising g,eilerati.;.;ll of naval officers. The Termagant steam-frigate, by •White, of Cowes, 1,556 tons, 24 guns, 620 horse power, by Seaward, went out to-day under Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim, navigated by Mr. Robert C. Allen, master of first ship, to the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, to .make a further trial of her steaming powers —a bitter result than heretofore achieved beieg de, sired by the Admiralty in return for the immeese cost of the ship—about 70,0002. ! Captain Ellice, controlltr of steam machinery; on behalf of the Admiralty, came down expressly to witness and report upon this result, and was particularly im pressive upon all %A ho seemed likely to communicate reports of the trial that none should "get into the pepers" before the Admiralty were first served. Two members of Messrs. Seaward's firm also came down to attend the trial. Mr. Murray, chief engineer of the dockyard, also went cut in the ship, and numerous o' her officers. She was tri mme d as if in commission, and drew—forward, 16 feet 2 inches ; aft, 17 feet 10 inches ; making her 20 inches by the stern. She made six runs, at the measured mile, with the follow ing result : Rune. Knots. Reduced mean. Fast ... 10.112 Second ... 6.452-8,282 Third ... 10.256-8 354-8.318 Fourth 6.779-8.517-8.435 Filth 10.112-8.455--8.481 Sixth ... ... 6.629-8.370-8.407 Mean of means-8.400 knots per hour. The engines performed all their functions in the most perfect and eminently aatisfactory manner, and elicited marked praise and attention from the Admi ralty Controller. They made from 21 to 33 revolu tions. The thermometer in the stokehole indicated 100 deg, and in the engine-room 89 deg. The trial was under favourable auspices; the wind was E , with a strong topgallant breeze and smooth water, in which she made the half-circle in 3} minutes. With the tide the wind was on the quarter; running against the tide the wind Ns as three points on the bow. The result was considered more favourable than that obtained on her lest trial on the 20th ult., which we do not clearly comprehend, as she then made, as the mean of six runs, 8.544 knots, whereas on the pre sent trial she made 8.400 only. She will be docked in a few days, and have divers means tried to improve her, after which she ,will be tried again with a new screw. PORTSMOUTH SAILORS' HOME. We have much pleasure in announcing the follow ing munificent donations to the above excellent insti tution :—Rear-Admiral Henry Hope, C. 8., 501. ; Rear Adm;ral Sir Edward Chetbam Strode, K C. 8., K.C.11., 51.; Commander Coote, 501. The funds of the charity, thus augmented, will soon enable the committee to commence operations. Messrs. Legg, S6llivan, Morgan, Phillips, Broad head, Owen, and Sainsbury, mates, passed their ex aminations in seamanship and navigation for the rank of Lieutenant, at the Royal Naval Col!ege, yesterday. Ten of the crew of the Royal yacht, under Com mander CriAp;n, will proceed by railway to-morrow morning to bear the coffin of her late Majesty the Queen Dowager to its final rtstirg place :—Julni Hayles, A. 8.; James a , rry, Boatswain's -mate; Henry Hin ki:.s, quartermaster ; Samuel Long, quartermaster, who w>is Queen Adelaide's cockswain of the barge, when her Majesty was cruising in the Mediterr anean, in the Hastings,l4 ; Jeremiah Gl anv ill e , b oatswain ' s mate; Hickford Hill, boatswain's mate; Philip Perry, Captain's cockswain ; John Brodie, A.B. ; James Gradly, yeoman of signals; and John Glass, A.B. The following slips in this harbour will fire 30. minute guns each to=morrow : The Excellent to fire at 111 a. 30m. A.M. The Blenheim ... 12 The Illustrious ... 12 30 The Victory ... 1 P.M. _ _ The Royal Artillery will commence firing 60 minute guns from Blockhouse Fort at half past one o'clock, and a like number of guns in succession from the platform saluting•battery, ceasing at sunset. The Royal Marine Artillery will fire 30• minute guns from Fort Cumberland, So as to cease at sunset. His Royal Highness Prince Albert will leave Os borne at half-pest eight o'clock for Gosport, quite pri vately, no saluting or guard of honour being required. On Friday all the colours will be hoisted at the staff masthead, and the bands and drums of regiments play as heretofore. Detachments of the 44th and 69th Regiments will embark at Cowes on the 14th inst., in the ship Wa verley, for Malts. WOOLWICH, DEC. 11.—It is understood that Capt. Sir James Stirling, Knight, at present commanding the Howe, 120, on the Mediterranean station, is to be the new Lord of the Admiralty, in the room of Captain Lord John Hay, C.B , on the latter gallant officer proceeding to Davonport to succeed Rear- Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart., on his retirement from the superintendentship of that dockyard, which will shortly take place. There is not expected to be any change in the controllership of the coast guard, at present so ably filled by Captain Houston Stew art, C.B. The master blacksmith - of the blacksmiths'-shop the east end of the yard, has received permission to employ two superior workmen, at 6s. 6d. each per day, to assist him in the increased work which will taste place on the Nestnyth steam-hammers being transferred from the factory department. The usual wages in the east blacksmiths' shop is 4s. per day, or 245. per week. An order has also been received that 25 men are to be discharged from the factory department. DEC. 12.—The Mini steam-vessel, fitted with a screw propeller abaft the rudder, and one of Bishopp's disc engines, of 10-horse power, went down the river on an experimental trial, under the charge of Lieu tenant Robertson, with Mr. Casey, chief engineer of Captain Austin's department, and Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich Dock yard. The trial of this engine caused considerable interest, and Captain Mangles Denham, F.R.S., who has for a considerable period been engaged in inquiring into the causes of accidents to steam vessels ; Commander Forsythe, studying steam at the factory • Mr. F. Rufford, i.P. for Worcester ; Mr. Laming, ilanaging Director of the General Screw-Propelling Shipping Company; Mr. Donkin, civil engineer; Mr. Farey, civil engireer ; and Mr. Mylne, civil engineer of the New River Company, were o n board to witness the experiments. The days are at present so short that it was considered advisable on staring from Woolwich at 9 40 A.M. to have a hawser from the Monkey steam-vessel attached to the Minx, and both vessels to put on their full power to get down to the measured mile at Long-reech with the least possible delay, that the two runs up and two down the measured distance 'night be ACCOM piihed, and the vessels return to Woolwich with daylight. The arrangements were well carried out, and the experiments were made in a very excellent manner, and with a very satisfactory r( sult. Oo arriving within about a mile of the measured distance, the vessels separated, and the Minx held on for trial, and, on the average of two curs down and two up, the speed produced by the disc engine was ascertained to be 5.148 knots per hour, ale mean pressure of steam being 53 . 5 lb. on the square inch, and the number of revolutions 164 per minute, the result being nearly half a knot greater speed on this occasion then was ob tained during the last trial, en the 26th of November, being 4659 knot per hour. A new screw was sub stituted for the trial to-day, to work what is termed THE 117) E GIS TERED SYRIAN PAL ETOT, 379, OXFORD-STREET. EVERY SIZE, IN ALL COLOURS, READY FOR WEAR, AT MESSRS.
