SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURN A. LS. We this day record with unfeigned regret the de struction by fire of the two Houses of Parliament, and most of the large and magnificent ranges of offices and buildings connected with them. This lamentable conflagration commenced between the hours of six and seven last night. Since receiving the various reports, the substance of which our readers will find in another column, we have had an opportunity of seeing in per son the greater part of the ravages of the devouring element. From the most accurate information we could collect, it is most probable that the fire was purely ac cidental, and originated in some neglect or accident of the workmen employed in making alterations in the Library of the Lords, and who had just left their work in that part of the building. We will shortly state the extent of destruction we personally witnessed. The ouses of Lords and Commons are utterly destroy with the library rooms of the l l former, and, we be me, of the latter. The com mon report is, that the large and valuable collections of books, with some exceptions, of the Commons were consumed. Fortunately, in consequence of the altera tions of the library rooms of the House of Lords, the books had been recently removed into the large com mittee-room of the Lords fronting the Thames ; they are entirely saved, and have only suffered such loss or injury as may have been caused by their being moved into the adjacent yard. A consicierable 'portion of the offices and rooms, together with the Painted Chamber (of Conference) of the Lords, is wholly gutted by the fire ; but the Journal-offices of the Lords, and their records, were quite safe early this morning, with every probability of security. The houses of Mr. Ley, and the intermediate habitations of the principal officers of Parliament, situated between the Lord; Journal olliee and the Speaker's house, were completely burned between the hours of nine and eleven. ' Much of the furniture, and a great portion of the books, in this ex tensive pile of buildings, were saved, and stored in the gardens. About ten o'clock, it became evident that the Speaker's house would speedily fall a sacrifice to the flames. The valuable library of the Speaker, chiefly, we believe, public property, was soon, and with tolerable safety, removed into the . garden and covered with carpets and bedding ; but we fear that some portion of the books remained in a room near the large library. The furniture was -nearly all removed, and the pictures safely deposited at the furthest extremity of the terrace facing the Thames. At a late hour the house was only partially gutted—those rooms with the large gothic windows looking on the water, and the wing immediately adjoining, were completely destroyed. The greatest exertions were made to save the ancient and venerable Hall of Westminster, and we should think they will continue to prove successful, as down to the time of our going to press the roof and building, and also the vane, were untouched by the fire. The con flagration ultimately extended all round the new front buildings of the Lords, utterly consuming the rooms of the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Courtnay, and other offices ranging round to Haves's coffee-house. The latter premises also are wholl destroyed. The fire in that part of its devastathig progress, ultimately appeared to centre in Mr. Bellamy's kitchens and upper stories, and nothing but the bare walls are apparent from the view in Old Palace-yard -street, opposite the Chapel of Henry the Seventh. Our last view of that part of the range of building presented the Committee-room, mider Bellamy's kitchen, in a complete blaze, and ex tending some way backwards towards thohdjoining Com mittee-rooms on the stone-staircase. The two stories of Committee-rooms on the stone-staircase are not in jured. = Upeta. the time of our going to press, the Courts of Law, including those of the Chancery, were quite safe ; but it is evident that so . vast a Mass' of ignited materials, comprising large ranges of rooms and galleries, was little operated upon by the almost useless, but unremitting, exertions of the firemen and' troops working the engines. The general opinion appeared to be, that the quantity of water available was altogether insufficient ; but we must add, that the instances are extremely rare of any large public buildings being saved, when once the fire has gained a strong ascendancy. We fear that the records of the House of Commons have most severely suffered, if not been entirely destroyed ; but the state of the_ large stores of public bills and papers in the area cel lars could not be ascertained. They are, in all proba bility, wholly lost. It was stated to us by one of the officers of the House of Lords that the rooms of Mr. Dorrington and the offices of the Commons' Journal Department were utterly consumed : for the accuracy of this information we cannot vouch ; but from the state of the intermediate buildingi, we entertain but little doubt of the fact. The damage in the immediate proximity of the entrance from the passages adjoining the door-way into Westminster-hall cannot be ascer tained. However extensive and deeply to be re gretted the loss of the papers and 'MS. records of the Commons, it will be satisfactory .to the public to state, on the authority of high, official persons, that the public service will sustain—no irretrievable loss, or permanent inconvenience. ' The Commons' Library, if consumed, may be replaced : the boobs were numerous and valuable, but chiefly works of re fersnce, and not of any rarity, though time was neces sarily occupied in their collection. We have not learned the fate of the long gallery ; but we should think that it had also formed part of the interior fire, though some doubt .was expressed on the subject. Of the state of the upper rooms leading to the Strangers' Gallery of the Commons, little was known, and as little of the gallery and rooms leading from the smoking-room into Bellamy's kitchen. But, more or less, all these parts of the House must have suffered. A more wide-spread ing or imposing fire was never witnessed in the Metro polis. The associations connected with the ancient Chapel of St. Stephen's and the House of Lords, every apartment of which recalls some great historical event—the vivid view of the rapid flames as they rolled round this large frontage of public build ings driven by the shifting wind—the glare of the towering flames, the volumes of smoke which mixed with the raging element—the repeated, crashes of the falling, roofs, all combined to impress the crowds who attended' the fire with feelings never to be forgotten. In the midst of this striking scene, the Chapel of Henry the Seventh and - Westminster Abbey appeared enve loped in flames ; and the reflection of the fire on the turrets, and delicate tracery of the architecture of the Chapel, produced a singular effect. The view of the Thames was not less remarkable. The river and bridges were covered with people, large parties contemplating the awful scene, and the water, like a mirror, reflecting the glare of the conflagration. The pecuniary loss to the. nation cannot yet be ascertained : it was estimated at upwards of 200,0001. in the cost of the publicbuild ings alone. Lord Melbourne, Lr,rd Althorp, Lord Auck land, 'Lord Hill, the Attorney-General; and several members of the Government were present from an early hour. . Mr. Sutton, the Speaker's son, arrived about eight o'clock, and, we believe, was the only member of his family in town. The police success fully kept the crowds from all interference with the engines. But too much credit cannot be given , to the various bodies of t roo ps w h o wor k e d the engines, as sisted in removin g the great mass Of property, a r id aided the firemen in most indefatigable exertions to extinguish the flames. Indeed, to their judiciously combined and continued efforts the preservation of Westminster-hall and the Courts of Law was entirely owing. FIVE o'CLocK.—W e have just returned from witnessing the scene of conflagration. We may now say with confidence that Westminster Hall and the Courts of Law are completely saved.' The fire is so far got under, that it will not now e x t en d b eyon d t h e buildings where it has raged.--Morning Chronicle. London was yesterday evening thrown into the greatest consternation by one of the most destructive fires that has occurred for many years, and which for a considerable period seemed to threaten with total de struction, not the habitations merely of private indivi duals, net one or more public buildings of great im portance to the community at large, but a whole dis trict of the metropolis, and that the district whiCh includes within its boundaries the 'Houses of Parlia ment ; the Courts of Law ; the greater part of the offices of Government ; the venerable and magnificent Hall which has been the scene of the most august of our national festivals, and the most important of our judicial proceedings for many ages ; and last, not least, that stupendous monument of the taste, the magnifi- cence, and the piety of our remote ancestors, the mausoleum of a hundred Kings, and of such of their subjects as in successive generations have been most distinguished for valour, for genius, and for virtue—Westminster Abbey. The intense anxiety may be conceived, but can scarcely be described, which pervaded all classes of the population of London during the protracted period in which it was yet uncertain how far the ravages of the devouring element might extend, or how many of the architectural objects it might grasp in its destructive embrace which the nation prizes highly for their material grandeur, and prizes still more highly for the proud associations with which history and imagination have united to connect them. The calamity, serious as it is, has yet, we are happy to an- nounce, fallen far short of the gloomy apprehensions which at one period of the evening were very generally entertained, and which, as invariably occurs on such Occasions, made the strongest impression upon the minds of those who were the most distant from the aw ful scene. The two Houses of Parliament are totally destroyed. The Speoker's house is destroyed also. Westminster Hall has sustained great • but not -irreparable damage. We rejoice to say, however, that -the Parliamentary Offices have sustained but little injury ; that the important papers and documents con-_ tamed in the Libraries of the two Houses of Parlia ment and in that of the Speaker have been rescued from the flames ; and we add. with peculiar satisfaction —a feeling in which the public, who regard that Right Hon. Gentleman with affectionate veneration, will sympathise most sincerely—that the valuable private property contained in the house of the Speaker of the House of Commons was, with some, not, we believe, very considerable, exceptions, conveyed to a place of security before the fire had reached that edifice. We refer to another part of our paper for the most ample and authentic details we have been able to col- lect of the awful conflagration. While we write fresh accounts are pouring in upon us, and from the confusion incident to a calamity of this de- cription, many of them may probably turn out to be more or less inaccurate in their details,; but we have reason to fear that the loss of human life is to be added, as the highest aggravation of a catastrophe which on so many accounts is deeply to be deplored. We are reluctant to attach credit to the many rumours we have heard of circumstances which seem to lead to the revolting conclusion, that this appalling scene of destruction has been the work of incendiaries : and, in the difficulty of imagining any motive to an act of such atrocious wickedness, we still cling to the hope that these circumstances may have been misconceived and misdescribed in the anxiety to collect information, and the hurry in which it must of necessity have been recorded. The most searching investigation, there can be no doubt, will be instituted imme dictely into the origin and progress of the conflagra tion, and we shall rejoice to find at the termination of, such necessary inquiry, that the calamity cannot be traced to any other than an accidental cause. When the fire first broke out the tide in the river was low, and for two hours the supply of water seems to have been lamentably inadequate to the occa sion. This implies a want of management, of vigi lance, or of energy on the part of the Water Compa nies, whose duty it is to be always ready to meet an emergency of this kind, in whatever part of the metro polis it may occur, which demands, and will probably produce, an effectual interposition of the Legislature. If there is not there ought to be an express compact between the public and the Companies, which obtain considerable gains by supplying our houses with water for the purposes of domestic convenience, to the full effect that the important element, of which these Com panies monopolize the conduits, shall be accessible instantly and in unstinted abundance whenever it is required as a means of rescuing the public edifices of the metropolis, and the lives and property of its inha bitants from the flames.—Morning Post. • All topics of ordinary, however extensive interest, must yield for the present to one which has within a few hours been brought home to the senses of the people of this metropolis--namely, the total destruc. tion by fire of that vast pile of building which but yesterday forenoon contained the two Houses of Par liament, with all their appendages, whether of ancient or modern date. Such narratives of this calamitous and awful conflagration as have been furnished by per sons who witnessed its progress on the spot, will be found in the form and succession in which they reached us. On like occasions it is difficult to answer for the correctness or consistency of the several accounts which may be circulated, some time being necessary to ar rive at authentic details ; but for the amount of the mischief, whatever may have been the cause, we fear there is no doubt of its extending nearly to the entire ruin of the whole range of public edifices re ferred to. The country will have reason, all things considered, to be thankful that Westminster Hall, the scene, the witness, we had almost said the living asso ciate, of so many of the most ancient and noble pas sages in English history, has escaped this deplorable visitation. For the Houses of Parliament, their ruin through such agency will, of course, be felt as an af flicting accident by all Englishmen who appreciate them according to the high political and national ends to which they have through many ages, with more or less of useful ministration, been made tribu tary : but they rank not among the finer specimens of art, nor are identified, as are the Hall and the Abbey of Westminster, almost as much with the ma ' terial frame of England, as with her historical and moral grandeur. The fire, though sensibly enfeebled when we went to press, was still burning, and it will, perhaps be days before a satisfactory assurance can be given of its final and complete extinction. The conduct of the immense, the countless multitudes, which in the course of the evening flocked together to 'view this spectacle of terrible beauty, was such as to inspire respect. Composed as it was necessarily of all classes, we did not observe in more than one or two instances any expression of levity, and not one of exul tation, at the destruction of these venerable edifices : the general feeling seemed to be that of sorrow, mani fested either by thoughtful silence, or by occasional ex clamations of regret. The admiration at the sublimity of .the scene, which seemed to impress every mind, was subdued by the pain at losing these noble memo rials of the wisdom and greatness of by-gone ages. On common occasions of general concourse the English are sufficiently noisy in the demonstration of their feelings ; but on this occasion all was grave, decorous, and becoming a thinking and manly population. Apart from the mournful associations necessarily springing from this dreadful conflagration, we may be allowed to utter a wish that the restoration of the dilapidated parts may be made in a style harmonizing with the original building, instead of exhibiting a heterogenous mass of architectural erections, in which taste, chro nology, and convenience, were equally set at nought.--.. Times. ' INDICTMENT AGAINST THE SHERIFFS OF CHES TER.—The Cheshire Quarter Sessions commenced at Knuts ford on Monday. A " true bill" was found by the Grand Jury against the Sheriffs of the City of Chester for a misdemeanour, in refusing to take upon themselves the execution of Garside and Mosley, the two men under sentence of death in Chester Castle, for the murder of the late Mr. Ashton. A similar bill presented against the High Sheriff of the county was thrown out. The indictment will be removed by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, and thus the question of liability rill be brought under discussion before the only tribunal competent to decide upon it.—Manchester Courier. PUNISHMENT FOR SMOKING IN THE STREETS.— Burnes, in his " Travels in Central Asia," in his description of Bokhara, a large city, states—" You may openly purchase tobacco, and all the most approved apparatus for inhaling it ; yet, if seen smoking in public, you are straightway dragged before the Casee, punished by stripes, or paraded on a donkey, with a blackened face, as a warning to others."—This is a good hint to Europeans ; for the prevalence of smoking in the streets of our towns is a great nuisance. Mathews, in his a.- cent budget, has a hit at the common practice, and says— " The dandies darken London by smoking cigars in the streets." A letter from Frankfort of the Bth instant, states tht a criminal, sentenced to death for murder, and confined in one of the prisons of Munich, had contrived a singular kind of occupation to charm the ennui of his captivity. He has made, with the soft of bread, and a sort of macaroni called nouille, very common in Bavaria, several personages for a scene in which he acts the' principal part. He has repre sented_ the moment when the- executioner, after taking off his head, presents it to the spectators. A Franciscan Friar i seen kneeling on the scaffold, and praying to heaven in his be half, and near him stands an invalid soldier with a wooden leg, selling the sentence of the Court. Surely it is impossible for any man to view with more indifference the fate that awaits him ! THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1834. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. t .- -- MANSION-HOUSE. A younr , man named Brealey, the apprentice of Mr. Effingham Wilson, was finally examined upon the charge of having robbed his master of money in numerous small sums, to the amount of upwards of 1001. Mr.,. 'Wilson stated that he had given at different times (and specified the times) to the prisoner money to pur chase books at • Longman's, Simpkin and Marshall's, and other booksellers. This money he appropriated to his own use, at the same time that he signed his initials as a receipt • of th3;books in the books of the houses at which he dealt. Evidence was given in one case against him, and Mr. Wilson produced a paper containing a long list of the sums he had thus pilfered furnished him by the prisoner. The Loan MAYOR—Did he acknowledge that he plun derediyou ? Mr. Wilson—He did. The LORD MAYOR—Upon any promise or understand ing that you would forgive him? Mr. Wilson—Certainly • not. I never made him any promise. lhh LORD MAYOR—What arc the words you used to induce him to make the acknowledgment? Mr. Wilson — I tohl him that the least he could do was to tell me to what extent he had robbed me, in order to remove unjust suspicion from the other persons in my employment, and he then sent me the list. The LORD MAYOR—And he was not to consider that request as implying pardon ? Mr. Wilson—By no means. I first sont him home to his father for it was represented to me that if his mother, who was very ill, should hear of disgrace the shock would probably kill her, and I wished that - his father might exercise his parental influence over him, and admonish him. The prisoner's solicitor submitted that the prosecutor had not made out a prima facie case against his client, and that the young man was entitled to his discharge. THE LORD MAYOR—A prima facie case ! What do you call the positive evidence, that he had received this money and did not pay for the books, and his own confes siOn in his own hand-writing ? The prisoner's Solicitor asked whether the confession was a voluntary confession? The LORD MAYOR—You have beard what Mr. Wilson has stated about it. A jury will decide upon the whole of • the merits of the case. The prisoner's Solicitor said that the confession was cer tainly extorted from his client by the expectation of for- giveness. Mr. Wilson—l made no promise whatever. The LORD MAYOR—I consider it to be my duty to send the case to a jury. The prisoner was then fully committed. John Michell, the cabman who stabbed Charles Brad field with a knife in the side, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner very solemnly assured the Lord Mayor that he bad received the very greatest provocation from the prosecutor, who struck him several times, and against whom it was impossible for a man of his (the prisoner's) size to stand for a moment. _ _ The LORD MAYOR immediately proceeded to emo.mine the witnesses minutely, and one of them admitted that the wounded man bad struck the prisoner before the latter used the knife. . The prisoner—My Lord, he struck me desperately five or six times, and one of these men cried out to him that it was a shame to beat me. The witness alluded to admitted that he had several times said to the wounded man, that it would do him no credit to beat the lad. The Loan MAYOR—You meant that he ought not to strike a person so much his inferior in size ? Witness— Exactly. Prisoner—l had no chance with him, my Lord. He struck me a blow that marked me under the eye. Witness—l didn't observe that. Daniel Forrester, the officer—l stood close to the pri soner at the first examination, and when I heard him say the wounded man struck him, I looked at him closely and observed that he had a cut under the eye. The LORD MAYOR—The conduct of the prosecutor did not justify the use of so deadly a weapon : but the case has a different appearance from that which it at first assumed, and these circumstances will no doubt operate in your favour at your trial. The prisoner said that he had the knife in his hand cut ting his bread and meat at the moment he was so violently attacked.—Committed for trial. The wounded man is quite recovered. A mere boy, a conductor to an omnibus, was charged by Mr. Wityear, the Superintendent of the City Police. Mr. Wityear stated that as he walked along the street saw the defendant and two other boys, also conductors, contending for a female passenger. One of them held her by one arm, while the other held her by the other, and the third actually seized her by the legs. Each of the boys dragged her a different way, but the defendant made the most desperate struggle to get her to his omnibus, while the poor lady was much alarmed at their violence, and en deavoured in vain to get away. The defendant said he really thought that the lady fan cied his omnibus, and he thought she ought to have her way.—Ordered to find bail. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, among the applications from poor prisoners in the Fleet who had sworn they were not worth 101. in all the world, and who therefore prayed the City allowance of sixpence a day for their support, was one from Blanchard, the comedian, and another from Penny, the publisher of unstamped newspapers. Mr. Alderman BIRCH signed the orders for their relief. HATTON-GARDEN. Messrs. Hazzard and James, headborougbs of Hamp stead, summoned John Cole, the owner of a beer-shop in that parish, under a clause of the Beer Act, which, it will be seen, is of great importance, not only to persons of the defendant's calling, but to the proprietors of public-houses. This is the clause alluded to : "Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, that it shall be lawful for all constables and officers of police, and they are hereby empowered, to enter into all houses which are or shall be licensed to sell beer or spirituous liquors to be consumed on the premises when and so often as such constables and officers shall think fit ; and if any person having such license as aforesaid, or any servant or other person in his employ or by his direction, shall refuse to admit, or shall not admit, such constable or officer of police into such house or upon such premises, such person having such license shall, for the first offence, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding M., together with the costs of the conviction, to be recovered within twenty days next after that on which such offence was committed. before one or more Justices of the Peace ; and it shall be lawful for any two or more Justices before whom any such person shall be convicted of such offence for the second time to adjudge (if they shall think so fit), that such offender shall be disqualified from selling beer, ale, porter, cider, or perry by retail for the space of two years next after such conviction, or for such shorter space of time as they may think proper." It appeared from the evidence of the complainants, that at about half-past eleven o'clock, last Saturday night, they knocked at the door of to defendant's house requesting admittance, a. Loy suspected a number of persons were tippling there. No notice was taken of their application, until they threatened to burst open the door, when they were let in by a female. As soon as they had crossed the threshold the defendant called out " Who is there ?" and on being answered by the female that complainants were about to examine the premises, to ascertain if all the cus tomers had departed, he exclaimed " Poker the —," and made use of other language too foul to mention, and came down stairs and endeavoured to turn them out. The com plainants, through the interruption, could not perform their duty, and they left the place, after informing the defendant that they should appeal to the magistrates for protection. Their threat caused him to abuse them much worse ; and when they had walked a few paces from the house, the defendant followed them, calling out " Murder, thieves, and fire," and thereby created considerable alarm. The defendant, when called on for his defence, accused the complainants of having first of all maltreated him, and lie called his sister, who swore they struck her brother seve ral times before he retaliated. Mr. Rogers, who resides at Hampstead, said this was not the first complaint against the defendant, who was totally unfit to have the management of such a house. Mr. LAING, having told the defendant he had better be cautious, fined him .5/., and sentenced him, in default of payment, to two months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. fend* . had . been brought to him, and described the means which:be had used to preserve her from the ill consequences of ber!rash attempt. T 4 prisoner said that the quarrelling and beating of her busbatd bad induced her to make the attempt, but she ac knowledged that she had been drinking, and she promised to make no more such rash attempts, and to keep sober in future. The police constable who had charge of her produced 47 pawnbroker's duplicates and three farthings, found upon the prisoner, to whom he returned them. Mrl ? . I3ENETT, after having lectured her upon her wicked ness, jliscbarged her, and held the husband to bail to keep the pOce towards her. W OR SHIP- STREET. Yesterday Catharine Banks, a carpenter's wife, resident in Pounds-place, Hoxton, was brought before Mr. BKNETT, from the police station in that neighbourhood, and charged with having attempted to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Regent's Canal. It appeared that about five o'clock on Wednesday even ing some boys saw her take off her bonnet and s h aw l an d plunge into the canal, from which she was with some diffi culty taken out and conveyed to the house of Mr. Baker, a medical officer of the Humane Society, and from thence to the police-station, where Mr. Baker attended her, and used every means for her recovery, and she was put to bed. She had evidently been drinking to excess, for which, and for the attempt upon her life, she accounts by saying that she was ill-used by her husband, who had been quarrelling with and beating her. In the course of the evening the husband was found drunk, and being told of what bad occurred went to the police-station to see his wife, which, however, was not permitted until morning. He acknowl e d ge d th a t - he had been quarrelling with his wife, and said that when they had money they drunk together until it was all spent. Mr, Baker stated the circumstances under which the de- QUEEN-SQUARE. YeSterday Thomas Graham, the proprietor of the cabrio let Nio. 1,678, appeared before Mr. Gregorie, to answer a sumurns taken out against him by Mr. William Tiffin, a gentleman residing at Newington, for the following offence : The defendant produced a man who was the regular driver of his cabriolet ; but on the day in question, when the o;11 - *.ence was committed, the driver he said was taken ill, and another man had been got to drive on that day, and he dia not know where he lived. Mr. GREGORIE remarked that as be did not produce the driver, he (the proprietor) was liable. ICappeared from the evidence of the complainant that on Thursday he hired the defendant's cabriolet near St. CleMene.s Church, in the Strand, and told him to drive to Chailing-cross, where he had his chaise waiting for him. 'lle distance being only about three quarters of a mile he offero the driver eightpence which he refused, and de manded one shilling. Witness refused to give him more than eightpence when he became very abusive, asked him if het thought there was any thing green about his eye, and insisted upon having one shilling. Witness tendered him Ins Pare three times, which he refused to take. Witness got into his chaise when the cab driver seized the reins and would not let him proceed until he got the assistance of a Pollee constable. A police constable of the A division confirmed the state ment of the complainant, as to the insolent conduct of the cab driver. The defendant, in reply, said that if time was given to him be thought he should be able to produce the driver, who could give the best answer to the charge. Mr. GREGORIE said that it would be useless to adjourn the case, for if the defendant found the driver he could bring him before him, and whatever penalty the defendant paid the driver should pay him again, either by his purse or person. Mr. Tiffin said that he never summoned a man before, but the conduct of the cabriolet driver was so grossly inso lent that for the sake of the public he felt himself com pelled to summon him. Mr. GREGORIE said that it was a very gross case, and if proprietors would allow irresponsible persons to drive for them, men whose address they did not know, they must take the consequences. He felt it his duty to fine the de fendant in the mitigated penalty of 505., and costs 6s. 6d. Mr. GREGORIE told the complainant that one half the penalty belonged to him. Mr. Tiffin said that he should not take his moiety of the penalty, and begged that it might be applied to some cha ritable purpose, which was accordingly done. ALLEGED ASSAULT.—Mfrs. Anne Hely Hutchinson, of No. 19, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place, the widow of the Right Hon. C. Hutchinson, was charged before Messrs. GREGORIE and. WHITE, on a warrant, with assaulting Sarah Plant, one of her servants under the following cir cumstances Sarah Plant had lived in Mrs. Hutchinson's service about five months as servant of all work. On Monday last, about half-past eleven o'clock in the evening, she was in the kitchen, when Miss Anderson came down and told her that her mis tress desired she would come up stairs and make a bed. She told her that she would come directly. She was about lighting a candle to go up stairs, when her mistress came down into the kitchen, and began to push her about, and pushed her out of the kitchen. She (witness) seized her bonnet, and ran up stairs, when her mistress followed her, pulled her bonnet off, and threw it down stairs. Witness then ran out of the house, and her mistress bolted the door upon her. She had not received a farthing of wages. Henry Neil, a footman in the service of Mrs. Hutchinson, confirmed the statement of the complainant. Mrs. Hutchinson in her defence said that her daughter, who had been on a visit to Lady Harley in the country, had arrived at home on the day in question. She sent Miss Anderson into the kitchen to tell the servant to come up and make the bed for her daughter, and Miss Anderson brought her word back, that the servant said she would not make the bed but at her own convenience. She then certainly went into the kitchen, and desired her to go that instant and make the bed. She refused, and she certainly did push her out of the kitchen, and she thought she had a right so to do. The complainant said that it was false ; 'she never refused to make the bed. The Magistrates consulted together, when Mr. WHITE said that she ought to have made the bed when she was told, and dismissed the complaint. A gentleman who accompanied Mrs. Hutchinson said that he had offered the complainant her wages, which she refused. _ _ _ Mr. WHITE said that when the complainant applied for the warrant she told a very different story. The complainant had not had justice done to her, and should apply somewhere else. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday two brothers, named William and John Darla., were placed at the bar before the sitting magistrates, Messrs. SHUTT and BURRELL, charged with an assault on the new police. The prisoners, who are notorious bad characters, were then fined 10s. each, and in default committed to the House of Correction for fourteen days. Yesterday Mr. Feltus Floyd, late a grocer of extensive business in Quebec-street, New-road, was charged as fol lows : Mr. George Payne Ansell, shoemaker, No. 23, John street West, Edgware-road, having received information that a person was in the habit of scaling his wall of a night from out of a Mews on one side of it, determined on watch ing, and about three o'clock saw the prisoner get over, upon which witness went up and asked him what he did there ? when the prisoner replied that he lived next door, and was going to try to get in the back way. Witness, not thinking his statement correct, gave him into the custody of a police man. The prisoner, in reply, lived next door to the complainant, at No. 22, and that having been out rather late with a friend, and not being able to make any one hear the front way, he was merely crossing the complainant's garden to try and get in at the back of the house, when he was stopped and given in charge. The landlady of No. 22 having been called, and con firmed the prisoner's statement as to his lodging there, he was discharged, Mr. Shutt remarking that it was a very improper practice, and if the landlady had not come for ward, lie should have punished him severely. Williaur Oliver, an ill-looking fellow, was committed for one month to the House of Correction, for indecently ex posing his person to Harriet Prescott, aged 13, daughter to a livery-stable-keeper, in Peterborough-place, Bayswater. Herbert King, a police sergeant of the D division, and clerk to Mr. Lazenby, the superintendent, was charged with embezzling the sum of thirteen shillings. The Superintendent deposed that the above sum con sisted of fines which the men had forfeited, and which wit ness deducted from their pay weekly, and handed over to the prisoner, whose place it was to account for it every month. At the latter end of last month he had absconded, and witness had never seen him since till then. _ _ Mr. Shutt said it appeared to him that the prisoner had only been guilty of a breach of trust, and he therefore was discharged. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a man shabbily attired, who gave his name Count. Sansvouskoi, and described himself to have been formerly an officer in the Polish service, was brought before Mr. Muunnv and Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged on suspicion with being concerned in an alleged felony committed by an individual styling himself General Konstantin, also of the Polish army. On Saturday last Konstantin called at the residence of a Mr. Simmons, a hop-merchant in High-street, Southwark, and, having inquired for that Gentleman, begged to request his perusal of the following statement relative to his services in the army, and his present distressed condition. It was to this effect Gentlemen,—l am a native of Poland, and have served under Napoleon Bonaparte, and was present at the besieging of Cairo ; afterwards at Malta, Corsica, Spain, Portugal, Wa terloo, and lastly at Algiers, and received thirty-two wounds. Three months ago I intended to go to my native country, but was not permitted to go through Prussia, and lost all my things, so I was obliged to embark at Hamburg and come to England. Since I have been in London I am reduced to great distress. I beg, therefore, most humbly to solicit your assistance in ena bling me to reach my native country, and shall remember such a benefit all my lifetime. I am, Gentlemen, with the most profound respect, your most humble servant, " KONSTANTIN, General." On the same sheet of paper upon which the above was written, appeared the names of several individuals who had contributed to the relief of the writer, and there was also ap pended to it in print the words " General Konstantin." On the occasion of Konstantin's first visit at the com plainant's no interview took place between them, and he subsequently called on the same day, and immediately after his departure two great coats which were previously hanging up in a passage which he had to go through on leaving the counting-house were found to be missing. On inquiry it was ascertained that the coats were seen in their places a few minutes before the stranger's entrance, and were miss ing before he had scarcely time to go the length of a street. Mr. Simmons gave information of the robbery, and a de s?ription of the suspected party, and on the following: Tuesday General Konstantin was apprehended by police man Cudman, M division, dressed in such a manner as to induce a belief that it was done for the purpose of disguise. When taken into custody he denied all knowledge of the imputed offence, expressed his astonishment that he should be suspected of guilt, urging that he held a high rank in the Polish service, and that whatever distresses he might endure, nothing should make him tarnish the character which he was proud to say he always held in every society in which he mixed. When asked by the Magistrate where he was at pre sent residing, he replied that he was in very humble lodg ings at the east end of the town ; the name of the street he had forgotten. The policeman said that there was a person in the office who said his name was Count Sansvouskoi, who was ac quainted with General Konstantin, and that he attended to inte;pret for the General, as he knew the English language better than he did. The p o li ceman th en l oo k e d roun d the of ice for the interpreter, but it was found he had made a precipitate retreat from the place on finding how matters were like to go with the General. The General was, there fore, remanded for another hearing, and in the interim from information, Sansvouskoi, the other prisoner, was taken into custody at a miserable lodginn•-house, No. 10, Artichoke bill, Ratcliffe-highwav, at which place both of them had been for some length of time living. On the policeman's entrance Sansvouskoi exhibited considerable terror, and taking out a large package of papers from his pocket, passed them into the hands of the landlady, and then making a dart into the yard, he managed to get over a wall ten feet in height, but was secured on the other side, due precau tion having been taken to cut off his retreat if he attempted to make his escape at the rear. Amongst the papers re ferred to were upwards of one hundred duplicates. of pro perty pledged at different pawnbroker's shops, and there was also a passport, besides several letters or petitions written in a begging strain, one of which ran thus : " I am now, in consequence of the Polish war, obliged te obtain my living in a different way to that which I have been used to, having been made a prisoner in Dantzic for the space of a year and a half, and made my escape from thence to Dundee, in Scotland. From thence I joined Don Pedro, and, not receiving any pay, was obliged to quit his service and come to London. I received 1/. from the Polish Committee, who said they could help me no more. lam now going to Algiers to join the Polish regiment, and to accomplish which will require funds which I am not at present in a condition to bear. Trusting that you will assist me in the enterprise, and it will ever be gratefully remembered by, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " The Count SANSVOUSKOI." The policeman stated that in the bundle of papers he also found several belonging to General Konstantin mixed up indiscriminately with those of the Count Sansvouskoi, a circumstance which indicated that they were on terms of intimacy. An evening newspaper, dated the 14th of June, was found amongst the General's epistolary correspondence, containing a report of an application he made at Bow-street, and which described that he had served abroad, and bad been wounded in several engagements. The report was of such a nature as to excite sympathy, and it was stated that he derived considerable benefit from the publicity given to the case. A note was also found, from which it is sus pected that the General made an attempt to_ practise an imposition on the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Dis tress. It was to this effect : " This is to certify that General Konstantin will be assisted by the Soicty of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, provided he produces to the Directors a passport from the Austrian Embassy. (Signed) "F. HORNEMANN, Assistant-Secretary. " 10, Finsbury-circus, July 25, 1834." In the possession of Count Sansvouski was discovered a paragraph cut out from a Newspaper detailing the circum stances relating to the ingenious robbery committed a few days ago at the Castle and Falcon Inn. He was very de sirous to destroy this, but was prevented. The policeman stated that on searching the General's lodgings he discovered a kind of turban for the head bedi zened out with different coloured muslins and mock jewel lery, besides an old scarlet embroidered waistcoat. Inspector Hack stated, that from what information he gathered since the apprehension of Konstantin, be had rea son to suspect that he was in the habit of dressing himself in the Turkish costume, and hawking rhubarb about town. In reply to Mr. Murray, the Inspector said that as yet the great coats stolen from Mr. Simmons's house had not been traced. The Magistrate then addressing Sansvouskoi, said that there appeared attached to his name the title of Count, and asked him if he claimed that distinction. The reply was in the affirmative, and in a jargon almost unintelligible, he said that he met with Konstantin, whom he had never seen before in London, and that being brothers in misfortune they both took up their abode at the east end of the town. He declared that he was innocent of being concerned in the offence charged against him. Mr. MURRAY remarked upon the circumstance of the Count clearing the ten-feet wall on the policeman's approach, and observed that if he was not conscious of havin g done something wrong, he would not have run the risk of break ing his neck. The Magistrate then inquired whether the policeman had reason to suspect and believe that the " Count" was concerned with the " General" in the alleged robbery. The policeman said that he had no hesitation in swearing to that effect. Upon which the Magistrate remanded the prisoners, and they will be brought up again. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday nine Irish labourers, named John Trery, John Ferguson, Joseph Salter, John Long, Joseph Berry, David Carty, John 111‘Guinnis, Timothy Connell, and Samuel Hendley, were brought before Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a quantity of tobacco from the London Docks. Mr. COMBE convicted them of a misdemeanour in having unlawful possession of the tobacco, and sentenced Trery, Ferguson, Salter, Long, and Connell to pay a fine of 40s. each ; M‘Guinnis, 30s. ; Hendley and Carty, 20s. each ; and Berry, who had taken the smallest quantity, to pay 10s. only, which they paid and were discharged. MELANCHOLY SUICIDES IN PARIS. A double suicide occurred between Friday night and Sa turday morning, in the Rue de la Fidelite, Paris, of which the following are the particulars :—M. Mulgrave, formerly a military man, had through some unforseen circumstances lost the whole of his property. On Saturday morning about ten o'clock a gentleman who had been on intimate terms with him received a letter by the post, requesting him to repair immediately to the porter's lodge, where he would find a packet directed to himself. This gentleman accordingly set out as requested, and received from the hands of the porter, a parcel sealed with black wax, contain ing several letters, one of which was to the following e ff ec t When you read this letter neither myself nor my poor Elenore will be any longer of this world. Have the goodness, therefore, to open the door of our apartments, when you will find us with our eyes closed for ever ! We are weary of the misfortunes which have never ceased to pursue us, and we think we cannot do better than put a pe riod to our miserable existence, and thus end all our woes. Knowinc , her courage, and the strong feelings of attachment that my dear good wife has ever entertained towards me, I was certain she would approve of the resolution I have come to, and share with me my cruel fate. The determination that we have come to, to die together, proves the love we have for one another ; and I there fore beg, my dear friend, that you will take care that we are not separated. Curses be on the head of him who opposes this request, as it is our last and only consolation to think that we shall never be torn asunder. My poor wife gives her adieus to her mother, and gives her your address ; inform her that we have named you to exe cute our last wishes. If I did not fear distressing your feelings as well as those of the other gentlemen of the bureau, I should have come and verbally taken my leave of you with that calmness which you know has always characterised me ; but to repay you all I shall prepare a place which I promise to come and inhabit as soon as pos sible. I wish you much happiness. Farewell, dear friend, while I wait the metempsycosian workings. I wish you a good night, and myself a pleasant journey. lam in hopes that by midnight we shall have arrived at the end.—Friday evening, eleven o'clock, Oct. 10." Having read this letter the gentleman procured the as sistance of a Commissary of Police, and had the doors opened, when he found that the unhappy pair had carried into execution their fatal project. They were found ex tended on the bed both dead to appearance, havine , been suffocated with the fumes of charcoal ; t he husband was already cold, but his wife having manifested some signs of animation, medical aid was procured, and every means re sorted to calculated to restore her ; it was, however, too late, as she was past recovery. Every crack and crevice had been most carefully stopped up and pasted over with paper, for the purpose of excluding the air, and on a tabld Icy a brace of loaded pistols, probably intended to be used if the charcoal should not effectually do its work of death. —Gazette des Tribunaux, Oct. 14. ANECDOTE OF DON MIGUEL.—Some time after ;Miguel's return from Brazil, he paid a visit to the College of Surgeons . at Lisbon. Aft er v i ew i ng the various anatomical subjects it contained, he at length asked if it were possible to kill a person without leaving any traces of violence upon the body. He was told, that by introducing the keoint of sharp in struments into the brain through the mouth, it could be done. On receiving this information, he was observed to muse for some minutes in the recess of a window. The feeling of the medical men present on the occasion may be well imagined, when some time after this conversation the unfortunate Mar quis de Louie was found murdered in the identical manner described. --Ilionthly Magazine for October.
