COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tuts DAY)• JUSTIFICATION OF BAIL. — PIIILLIPS V. IRELAND. Mr. REA DER. applied to justify bail in this case, when one of the persons offering himself was opposed on the ground of being a man of no property whatever, and the affidavit put in proved him so ; also that he had a wife and seven children which he actually could not support, and that, in consequence of his embarrassed cir cumstances, parish wher e i n h e res id e s had excused him the from paying the A ssesse d Taxes and Poor's Rates. On his being questioned by the Learned Counsel in opposition, he admitted such u as the fact", and that his wife's application had been made at his request to the parish ; he, however, intended in future to pay the Assessed Taxes, and last week.received 501. from the debts due to him, which was to a considerable amount, and caused his embarrassment. Mr. Justice BAY LEY—The taxes must first be paid before the party can be accepted.—Bail refused. At 11 o'clock the Judges rose, and proceeded to the House of Lords to resume the further ar gument in the Thalluson case. BOW-STREET (This Day.)—John Wren, 01le of those sharpers who prowl about town, ready to take advantage of others' simplicity, was brought up, charged with defrauding a countryman of a 5/. note of the li9tney Bank. - The country. man stated, that about eight weeks back he met the prisoner and another man, who asked him to step with them into a public house, and they would treat him with a pot of beer. He gladly consented, and, while there, one of the men said he was a very fortunate man, for he had come up to London to take posses sion of a large fortune, which lie should have obtained some time before, but for the "ii?fortunate" circumstance of break ing his leg. "hifortunate.," exclaimed his companion, " you mean unfortunate." The point was contested strongly, and after much /earner/discussion, the complainant was prevailed upon to bet 5/. that there was no such word as " Infortunate," and Dr. Johnson was appointed referee. The bet being made, and the stakes deposited,a pocket edition ofJohnson's Dictionary was pro duced by one of the gang, and the word pointed out. The party having pocketed the money, soon contrived to leave their dupe, who, however, happening to meet the prisoner this morning, gave him in charge.--Remanded for further exami nation. EXTRA orIDINAtir Tionnuay.--The- following particulars of a very extraordinary burglary and robbery, com mitted in the house of Mr. Coxhead, who keeps an oil and co lour manufactory, in Bridge-road, Westminster, were given at Union-Hall on Saturday last :—Mr. Coxhead stated, that be tween three and four o'clock that morning, lie and his wife and family were dreadfully alarmed by a loud explosion, which seemed to have taken place at the bottom part of the house; he instantly got out of bed, proceeded down stairs, and on entering the parlour at the lower end of the shop where the iron money chest was kept, discovered that it had been removed from its situation. He then alarmed the watehmen, and on their de scending into the kitchen or cellar, where a great quantity of goods were deposited, consisting of carboys of oil, turpentine, tar, pitch, links, &c., the remains of the iron chest were found with the lid completely blown off, and a smaller tin box, which was usually kept within it,- containing cash to the amount of between 701. and 801., gone. It was soon ascertained that thieves had been in the house, for on examining the place, se veral implements used by housebreakers were found, and among them a jemmy or crow bar. An instrument of this de eription to force open the lid of the coffer had been used by the , trglars, who, failing in their endeavours, from the strength of the work, after apparently repeated attempts, had re course to the singular expedient of blowing up the chest, which they accomplished by introducing a quantity of gunpowder through the keyhole into the interior, and then completed the rest with the assistance of their phosphorus and matches, the loud report from which so terrified and alarmed Mr. Coxhead and his family in the way described. On further examination of the premises, a vast quantity of gunpowder was found, that had been placed in different parts of the cellar close to the combustible materials already mentioned ; from which circumstance it would appear that the miscreants who com mitted the robbery had it likewise in contemplation to destroy the house and all within it. The thieves entered and effected their escape at the rear of Mr. Coxilead'e house by the back kitchen window, .the shutter of which they ma neged to force open with a centre-bit. Key, the constable of the Surrey Watchhouse„ in a short time after the robbery, in the course of his search discovered the small tin box which had been taken out of the iron chest in an unfrequented place, caned " Cut-throat-alley," at the rear of the Archbishop of Car terbury's Palace, which leads .from Royal-row out to the Bish. s's-walk. The empty tin box was lying on the ground within a paling close to the narrow foot-path,..aad upon the railings the constable observed the. figure of " jemmy" drawn in chalk, endahe name of Coxhead written underneath it._ .Key had the curiosity to compare the instrument left behind in Sir. Coxhead's teller. with the chalk represention, and it exactly corresponded in shape, There also appeared the word " Cheapeau" written on the - palings, which it is supposed alluded to a hat left by the thieves in Sir. COsthead's cellar, in their hurry to escape out of the house after the explosion. Mr. Coxhead, in detailing the above facts, said, that it was a miracle that his house and all within it were not destroyed, in conee e quence of the quantity of gunpowder laid in, trains amongst the combustible property deposited in the cellar. Mr. Swabey, the Sitting Magistrate, directed two efficient officers to lose no time in apprehending, if possible, the perpetrators ofso desperate and daring a burglary and robbery. SUICIDE.—An Inquest_ was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Prince Regent Tarern, himehouse, on the body of Thomas Bill, Esq.'an officer in the .Honourable the East India Company's service,. residing at No. 15, Edmond street, Limehouse. It appeared- that _the deceased, when he returned to England, a short time since, accompanied his family to the Ascot-heath races:; he there received a kick from one of the race horses in the left leg, but he thought so lightly of the injury, that heareineined till the races had concluded. On his return home his leg : became trouble some, and although medical Assistance was obtained; symp toms of mortiffeation .' appeared, and it became neces sary to amputate the leg. On thiS melancholy intelligence being communicated to the sufferer, nothing could exceed his anguish, which was _increased by the circumstance -of his -having received promotion for past services, and an appoint ment to sail in a few days for India: At length, induced' by the earnest intreaties of his friends, he consented that the ope ration should take place on Saturday last. As the time ap proached, his mind became more . and more agitated and dejected, and lie was heard to declare, that life to a military man, fond of his profession, and entertaining sanguine'hopes of fame and promotion, seas not worth retaining after suffering spirits t h e were report: the loss of a limb, which would forever incapacitate him for service. On Friday he appeared more cheerftil, but about 7 of a `considerably pistol was d e p Beard, resse d a . —-n d o'clock in, the evening, when he t oo k leave of his friends to Shortlyr etir e afterto r hises rest, , his departures when his friends hurried to his room they found him on the floor weltering in his blood. The ball had entered.the left side, which peeventedits being extracted. The unfortunater a aammaapposed that he would forfeit all claim to the censiderAtion of the East India Company by the loss of his le , lingered till the following morning, and then expired..' The Jury haiingheard evidence to the above purport, found "That the deceased committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary mental derangertient." The pistol alluded to was one of a brace kept by the father of the deceased, and which the letter bkd removed from the place where they were usually kept. On Friday night an Inqnest wa.s held at Guy's Hospital, before T. SIIELTON, Pasta', upon the body of a young man named Peter Levett, a shopman in the employ ment of Messrs. Payne and Simpson, extensive cutlers in the Borough High-street; who committed suicide on the day-pre ceding by hanging himself. From the evidence of those examined, in the service of the -firm, respecting the state of the deceased's mind preceding his death, it - appeared that his intellect had been considerably affected ever since the death of a fellow shopman of his who bad died about twelve months ago, between whom in his life-time, and Levett, a reciproCal friendship and attachment subsiSted. Since this event, the lat.. ter manifested great dejection of spirits, and when opportuni ties afforded abstracted hirnself from .society as much as his occupation would enable hit ;' and in his retirement was stated to have been known in the practice of poring even Dr. Johnson's Rambler. The deceased was also in the habit, in the short in terval of his friend's and his own death, when any person' com plained to him of being depressed inspirits, or otherwise unhappy, of exclaiming with the utmost seriousness, " Go and hang your self—that will rid you of all your troubles in this life." This me thod of destroying himself the unfortunate adviser of it adopted himself, for it appeared that on Wednesday evening, after having attended the , •emains of Mod, the t___lamented fireman, to the grave, the deceased wen t home, retired to bed early, and not rising at his usual hour in the morning, his bed-room door; which he had fastened, was forced open, and he was dii&ivered suspended by a piece of rope to the tester of his bed a lifeless corpse.—A verdict of " Insanity " was returned, MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

Extract of a private letter from Hull, dated May 4, says— " Information having been obtained here some days ago, that a large u hale had been washed ashore on the Holderness coast, and had attracted many visitors, all of whom returning with one statement of the vast magnitude of this unexpected visitor, de termined me to visit the spot early this morning, as I had un derstood that preparations had been already commenced for flinching.' Every statement that I had heard with respect to this Leviathan of the deep,' proved correct. I found, upon my arrival on the coast, at about equal distances from Tunstall and a male animal of the macrocephalus or blunt-headed cachalot species, measuring upwards of 62 feet, and which, I learnt, had first been observed on Thursday evening, floating dead, off the Mouth of the Humber, and was left in its present position at, or nearly, to high water-mark on Friday morning. I am not able at present to furnish you with the measurement of the head, which is of a most enormous size, nor indeed of any of the other parts. I found that the carving work had already begun. and a considerable portion of the head was taken off. The thickness of the blubber in general, at this pint, exceeded six inches; but when the knives of the opera tors stuck into any of the cavities in which the spermaceti is contained, the great quantity of it, in a liquid state, that pre sented itself, was truly astonishing. This, in a very short time after exposition to the air, coagulated, and I found that the thermometer, after being plunged into it in a liquid state, being continued in it for a short time, rose-to 79. The ther mometer exhibiting 56 Farenheit in the external air, no ma nifestation of change was exhibited by introducing it into the cavity from which the eye had been recently removed.- -So little is known of the natural history of the whale, that I hope an opportunity will now be presented to Dr. Harwood (wha I know has long wished for it) to pursue his inquiries in this highly interesting subject, as I understand the lungs, heart, &c.. are to be presented to Mr. Sawyer, an eminent sur geon of Hedon. The eye has been given to Dr. Alderson, of this place, and the Lord of the Manor, Mr. Clifford, I am happy to state, intends to have the entire skeleton put together, and kept in the family mansion at Burton Constable. That he may succeed in this•l sincerely wish, but I must be permitted to ex press my doubts of its practicability. I forgot to state, that Capt. Scoresby, the elder, informed me that this is the largest whale he ever saw. There is one mark of the harpoon, but it seems certain that that has not been the cause of death. This will be ascertained shortly, and as it is the general opinion that sickness was the cause, a considerable quantity of ambergris is expected to be found, the presence of which is considered an undoubted proof of it." THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MAv 9. • There were moderate arrivals of all sorts of Corn last week. —The fresh supply of Wheat this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, is much larger, and better in quality, than for some weeks past. Of Barley, Beans, Pease, and Oats, -the arrivals are not considerable. The weather being remarkably fa vourable, and t he first portion of the bonded Wheat being expected in the Market in a few days, occasion our millers to decline pur clia;ingi and the trade for Wheat has been so extremely dull as to reduce the prices from 3s. to ss. per quarter since this day ae'ntmight. Barley is scarce and unaltered in price. Beans do not find'. buyers so freely as of late, and are rather cheaper. Pease Of both kinds are also rather lower. Oats meet a heavy Sale, at ddecline of ls. per quarter from the terms of this day se'nnight. The FlOur trade is extremely dull. .ARRIVALS LAST WEEK.—English Wheat, 5,041 ; Bar ley, 2,055 ; Malt, 4,044 ; Oats, 0,856 ; Beans, 636 ; Pease,l33 ; Irish Wheat, —; Oats, 4,837 ; Foreign Oats, 1,810 quarters ; Flour, 7,071 sacks.

DAILY Extracts from the Mornms Papers, Alas 9,18 A Si [THE TIMES.] • Mr. Manning's reply to Mr. Grenfell on Friday last, when the latter Gentleman hinted at the propriety of a Parliamentary investigation --46 t0 the amount of paper issues by the Bank, may,. • we suppose, be left to its own fate, without • much trouble on the part of the public press to point out its injustice and absurdity. " Wh y,' says Mr. Manning, " should the books of the f Bank of England be more liable to exposure than those of any private bank ?" We will tell him in one word why,—because the Bank of England is, and has been for many years, to its own immense advantage, the legal depository of a large shard of national property—the comptroller of ex- • changes—and the arbiter of prices ; and that the; State has no security against the abuse of its powers by the Bank, and consequently against incalculable public mischief arising out of the misconduct of that establishment, but by a full knowledge of all its pecuniary concerns. If the. Bank Directors be not yet responsible nor amena ble to any superintendence, it is high time that they should be so : the Treasury itself has as •. good a title to the secrecy enjoyed by a private house of commerce as has the Bank of England :- even private bankers, we agree with others in affirming, wield such a power as ought to- be closely watched ; but that the Bank of England, so nursed, and pampered, and tempted as it is to go wrong by the amazing opportunities, pro vided for it—that such a chartered monopolist ;. should plead exemption from inquiry, on the • score of that forbearance which is exercised to wards individuals not possessing, like itself, the means of ruining the country, is, we must de clare, the most monstrous paradox that ever blind selfishness ‘$ as heard to utter. [MORNING POST.] We must again express our regret that Mr. Laittleton's 13111 for regulating the Elective Fran- i chise in Ireland should be made one of" the wings" upon which the " Catholic Relief Bill" is, for sooth, to fly through the Legislature ; and also. hat the measure should be brought forward witl► such little preparatory information on the part of . . British Members. The danger which the Pro testants of Ireland conceive themselves liable to- . , from the existing system of Forty-shilling Free-, holders, cannot be better illustrated than by the fact that many of them have half consented to. " Emancipation" ns the lesser evil•of. the two—as• menacing less and more remote injury to the Pro- testant Religion and Establishment and the peac: of the country, than continuing the power of re turning almost the whole RepreSentation of I Ft'- land in the hands of an ignorant Popish rabblti„. or a subtle Popish PriesthOod, or both combined-; Assuredly, then, - the Irisl► Protest'ants, in calling for an alteration of- the Elective Eranchis'e in consequence of the baneful effects they have ex,„ • perienced from its exercise, are competent wit; nesses in support of the principle of Mr. Little: - ton's Bill ; we shOuld,: however, rather considei• their assent to Emancipation on such grounds as indicating-an extreme _anxiety to get ,rid pressing mischief at any cost than as good deuce respecting a speculative measure of sucli vast and vital importance to the whole empire as the admission of Papists' to the" Govcrnment_Ot the State. With the effects of an oVerwhelinini . • mass of Forty-shilling Catholic. Freeholders they are acquainted; and in 'removing them;"" they have a palpable interest—With . the - effects of Emancipation - they are not ac- , ' quaintedwhile unquestionably it is a change of - greater comparative moment to Great Britain, S affecting- the established Constitution and polic'y of the first Protestant nation in the world, thait it can be as regards the minor part of the popnlal." tion of a British dependency. We are still ready • to confess that our argument in favour of disfran; chising 40s. freeholders, does not directly apply to three or four ,counties in Ulster, where tile` great majority of the inhabitants are Presbyte , • rians 'and Protestants. But then we nre not to look at the number of *those freeholders in the' • above counties, compared with the number Of them in as many Southern and Catholic counties,'' as a criterion to judge of the intrinsic advantage of Mr. Littleton's Bill to the whale.O.rlreland Numerically.;' more voters may be diSfranctiiied in a given . number :of Protestant, thab in . -the -same number of Popish shires; but the aggre'gate number of the latter shires or counties, to the aggregate number of the former, is, -we- imagine, - in the ratio of at least five to one ; "while the effect on the Representation generally would be not:tb dithinish Protestant Infineuce in returning Alem;. hers for the Northern Province—on" the fither hand, o have that'infltience fully. as: predarnintint there as it now existsbnt.to.incre.ase the Pro testant by diminishing Popish inthienCe rest of Ireland.
