Braux, MAY 6.—Che Prossiin State Gazette of this date contains various extracts from the Warsaw Jou fulls, and news from the Russian head.quarters, o wh-ch the following is the subs'ance:— " We have news from ti e Russian head-quarters at Mi e-k, of April 28. one date later than the preceding. Th... accounts relate the partirul ire of the adv ince of th , ar my from Siedlee, in which little of importance occurred Nea- Minsk, however, there was a very sharp action be tween the Russian vanguard and the rear of the P.ll-.1 army, in which the Poles are stated to have lost 900 killed, besides wounded and prisoners ; the loss of th, Russi ins vAs twenty killed, and, at the most, 100 wounded. Among the latter is General Skobi!ew corn mander of the second division of the first corps, who bad an arm carried off by a cannon ball. The enemy retreated toward Stanislawow. The Russian vanguard pushed forwards towards Dembe Wielkie. General Uminsk has also retreated from the vicinity of Wengrow. Amone the Polish prisoners are some hundreds labouring under the cholera. The disorder appears to ab tte in violence, and though - there are cases where death is very sudden, many patients soon_ recover, and there are several divisions of troops in which there were some patients, but the disorder has not been propagated by infection. The report concludes as follows : 'As the army of the rebels has every where shewn but little inclination to accept the batrle which was offered to it, and the whole country in which the Russian army is now has already been the theatre of war, and is so en tirely exhausted that ev en a littl e straw i s scarcely to he . . had, the Russian army will return to its form positions and in the sequel, when its subsistence has been secured for a long time, will find means to compe l the rebels to a battle, which will decide the fate of their country. TI e advance of the Russian army must have convinced the Poles that their advantages obtained in the beginning of this. month are not so decisive as the enthusiastic reports of their Journals represented them."' The accounts from Warsaw of the . :2d May give the Polish account of the retreat of their army, which agree on the whole with the Russian statement. The Poles in tended to make a stand at Minsk, hut were attacked by so superior a force, that General Gielgaud, whose conduct did him great honour, judged it advisable to retreat, though not compelled by the enemy. General Skrzyneeki affirms, however, that the Poles did not lose a single prisoner, ex cept some soldiers afflicted with the cholera. General Uminiski had sustained on the 27th an advantage over a Russian brigade of cavalry, under General Nassakin, which had SO killed and 72 taken prisoners, with their horses; among the prisoners is Colonel Turskoi. The Poles had three officers and five privates wounded, but nme killed. . The retreat of the Russian army, announced in the pre ceeding report, is stated in the Warsaw papers as having subsequently taken place. On the 29th of April, the whole Polish army had again advanced and resumed its former positions at Kostizyn and beyond Siennica. The head-quarters of the General - •in-Chief were that evening at Rude. On the 30th, the Polish army again advanced, and the vanguard was in the morning at Kaluszyn. The headquarters of Count Diebitsch are said by the Warsaw Gazette to be at Monty, beyond Siedlec. General Sierawski has arrived at Warsaw. Detach ments of his corps under the command of General Dzie konski, made some successful excursions on the right bank of the Vistula. Leather girdles, lined with flannel, worn next the skin, having been found the best preventative against the cholera, great quantities are making for the army. Twenty thousand have already been sent to the camp. The dis order was greatly abated. Fresh divisions of troops con tinue to pass though the capital. In an official report from the Warsaw State Gazette, General Dwernicki writes from Kolodno on the 24th that on the 17th and 18th he had an engagement with the corps of Rudiger, consisting of 12,000 men, with twenty two cannon, that he defeated it, took eight cannon, and killed a great many men; the enemy left 800 wounded in the field ; the Russian General Plazkriff was mortally wounded. Our loss was small. From Kolodno, General Dwernicki bad sent strong detachments to observe the enemy. The Polish eagle has been set up at Radziwillow. The Breslaw Journal says, " That during the absence of General Skrzynecki the tete de pont of Pia,ga has been completed by 15,000 workmen, and a second entrance wall erected, so that the whole Polish army might, if ne cessary, be posted within it. On the Russian side great depots of arms have been formed on the three lines of ope ration, and Lansa, Siedlec, and Lublin strongly fortified." Letters from Memel say the number of the insurgents near Polangen is again increased, and that it may be ex pected.that there will be`more fighting in that neighbour hood in 'a few days. ' Letters from Giumbinen announce (according to the itonigsburg Gazette) that the Polish Government has issued proctamations for the arrest of the insurgent chief Hurchet, because he has been guilty of acts of robbery, and has caused several land-owners to I.e shot, and put to derth without orders and without tri d. • ST. PETERSHURGH, APRIL 27.—The Petersburgh Ga zette contains a report from Count Diehitsch of April 19. It chiefly relates to the action near Wengrow, and on the Lieviec (of which an account has been given before) in which the Rus•ians are stated to have lost in killed and wounded 600 men. According to the prisoners, of whom 300 were taken, the enemy's loss was 3,000 men. The same Journal contains an account of the operations of General Rudiger against Dwernicki up to the 18th. General Rudiger intended to pass the Styr on the 20th or 21st. Letters from Moscow of 12th April say that the fair of Irbil Las been much better this year than last. Many articles fetched higher prices than were expected. • The traders from Amhara and rashkand brought 175 pods of silver in bars, of which the merchants of Moscow received 100 pools (the pood 36Ibs. English) in payment. THE HAGUE, MAY 10.—The answer of the Govern ment to the observations of the sections of the Second • Chamber of the States General, has been distributed . among the Members, with some statements and tables connected with them. It is remarked in their answer, that it is neither advisable nor possible to make all at once so many changes as some of the sections think would be advantageous; that several of them are connected with the changes which may have to be made in the funda mental law, and that some of them have already been carried into effect. On Wednesday evening the KING gave a graud dingier to the Archbishops of CANTERBURY, YORK, ARMAGH, DUBLIN, CASHEL, and TUAM, the Bishops of LONDON, LLANDAFF, CHICHESTER, CHESTER, LICH FIELD and COVENTRY, BRISTOL, SODOR and MAN, BAN GOR, and GLOUCESTER; Judges TINDAL, BAYLEY, GAR- Row, and PARE ; the Dean of HEREFORD, the Rev. Dr. KUPER, the Rev. Mr. FITZROY, Dr. HoncsoN, Dr. HARVEY, Sir HENRY HALFORD, Sir WILLIAM FREE MANTLE, and Sir FREDERICK WATSON. KING'S THEATRE. —Madame PASTA made, last night, her first appearance this season, as Medea, in the opera which bears that name. A very numerous audience had assembled at an early hour to welcome her on her return to there boards, after three years' absence; and when she appeared she was greeted with loud and long protracted plaudits from every part of the house. In per sonal appearance Madame PASTA has undergone no change since she was last seen here, if we except a trifling dimi nution of embonpoint. Her vocal powers remain unim paired, and her conception and expres%ion of the arduous character she chose for her rentrE'e afforded as noble a spe cimen of dramatic excellence as was ever exhibited, even by herself. Madame PASTA had the benefit last night of a most efficient coadjutor in Signor !Warm, who sus tained the part of Egeo. The opera was extremely well performed. COBURG THEATRE.—On Tuesday night this house was crowded in every quarter. After the admired piece of Guy Fawkes, the very popular inter lude of Reform was repeated amidst loud cheers and plaudits throughout every scene. A new piece, by Alox calm, having that well known phrase for a title What a shocking bad Hat ! was produced for the first time. Alias FERGUSON and Mrs. LEWIS exerted themselves to the utmost; and the piece went well off. Reform is a leading topic of the dialogue, and there are a few old jokes new modelled that told capitally. One joke in par ticular was hailed with vast force : an old gentleman says to his servant " n have Reform in every thing—get me a bottle of Reform blacking, one that won't change colour." The servant (Mr. WILD) replies, Y es, mas ter, I'll Hunt for it—the last bottle was shocking bad matchless." At the close of the piece Reform the au dience called for " God save the King," which was sung in good taste by the whole company, and joined in chorus by nearly the whole audience. Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN Says that churches should not exceed ninety feet long by sixty broad, which makes 5,400 square feet. Exeter-hall, the new building for holding public meetings, is 130 feet long by 76 wide, which makes 9,880 square feet, being an excess of 4,480 equate feet—so that it is, if measured by Sir CHRISTO.- ?HIM WREN'S standard, nearly one-half too large. This probably accounts for the difficulty experienced in the large Tooth in hearing the' spiikers front the platform to advantage. The expense of this building was 28,0001. , MAILS. •krrived. Due.

Et 47 " 44,4, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1831. Every day, every hour, swells the ranks of Re form. The Boroughmongers are beaten fn all di rections. They have scampered off, like curs with their tails between their legs, from almost every county at the very first summons of the trumpet of Reform. Till now, we always thought these men had at least the merit of possessing animal courage, but how egregiously have we been mistaken ! They have turned craven in this, their last extremity , as some notorious old harridan, whose whole life has been a libel on humanity, turns Methodist in her dotage, in the fond hope that she may be hoisted into Para dise on the brawny shoulders of hypocrisy. The pe nitence of Mother COLE is an exact fire-simile of that of the Borough mongers ; the majority of whom, with Joseph Surface, alias Master Biz ji 1, at their head, have at length recanted their Ultraism, and avowed them selves moderate Reformers ! But the people will not be gulled by this monstrous duplicity. They will not allow their understandings to be blinded by a squad ef knaves, by far the major part of whom oppose] Catholic emancipation, on the avowed principle that the people were averse to it, and now oppose the Reform Bill, because they have declared them selves to a man in its favour I The people, we repeat, will not be duped by such humbug. They will think for themselves, they will act for themselves, and support their KING and Government at all hazards, against the combined assaults of the Church and Borough mongers. In England the battle is already more than half won ; in Wales and Scotland it is pro gressing in favour of the Reformers; but in the sister country it has still to be fought. Men of Ireland, the eyes of the whole em pire are now turned on you. Be firm, then—be determined—but, above all, be una nimous. Attend implicitly to the directions of your guide and friend O'CONNELL ; he knows well the nature of the struggle on which you are now embarking—can calculate to a nicety the chances both for, and against, yon—where you are weak, and where you are strong—where you can gain a vic tory, where act effectively on the defensive—and will never desert or betray you. Remember, Irishmen, that by returning your fair proportion of Reformers to St. Stephen's, you are investing money in a bank, which will return you compound interest. From the moment that the great healing measure has passed the House of Lords, the foundation of your national prosperity is laid. From that moment the axe is laid to the root of the Upas-tree, under whose blasting shadow you have so long pined in hopelessness and solitude ; and you become, not in name, but in essence, a free—a happy —a flourish ing—a united people. Rely on it, no Reformed House will allow of Bank monopolies—Sub-letting Acts—Grand Jury systems—or exorbitant tythe collections. No Reformed House will allow Ireland to be drained dry, as a Select Vestry punch-bowl, by absenteeism; to be overrun by tax-collector s and excisemen; to be afflicted by a visitation of fat Protestant pluralists. Far otherwise. A Re formed House will look closely into all these matters. It will legislate in the stern spirit of justice, for the peasant as well as the Peer; for the needy as well as the affluent; for the Catholic as well as the Protestant. But since no great good was ever ye t gained without a struggle, If Ireland wish to be free, she must learn to deserve her freedom. She must earn it by the sweat of her brow, as the peasant earns his livelihood. She must be active—ener getic—united. She must resist all compromise -r• reject all bribery—despise all menace. She must be astir early and late; keep her attention fixed on me point. She must dismiss all party feuds, all Provincial bickerings; acknowledge but one friend and ane foe, the Reformer and the Boroughmonger Let her act thus, and she will, she must, succeed. We call upon the enterprising publisher who has announced his inrention of printing the list of the Cambridge University voters in Mack and red, to se. bout his task without deiay. We are anxious to 4 , tertaiti how many church pluralists are to be fount) among the supporters of those upstart statesmen, PEEL and GOULBURN. A Correspondent desires us to ask what has be oome of that DEMOSTHENES of An•i-Reform—that " young ASTYANAX" of the Borouglimongers— that eloquent commenta'or on Ecclesiasticus—that sworn-foe to the middle classes—the high-born tii2h-minded, highly-gifted, HORACE Twiss We really cannot say. Our reporters, one and all, declare that he is never to be met with in any of the Courts of Justice ; we conclude. therefore, tht:t he is either in active . treaty with the managers of Drury-lane, to convert hi• tragedy of the Carib Chief into a Pantomime fo' the ensuing Christmas; or has, retired like Sir R PEEL, (and with equal alacrity) from the harassing cares of office, into the bosom of domestic life. I this last be the case, we devoutly hope that his re tirement may never be invaded. The accounts from Poland are more favourabl, rhan they have of late been. The Russians, in their extremity, have offered battle to the Poles, who were too wise Ito be etyrapped by sueh clumy manoeuvring; the former, therefore, are now com pelled to return to their position. The St. Pe tersburgh Journals say, "In an official report from the Warsaw State Gazctle, General DWER NICKI writes from Kolodno on the 24th, that on the 17th and 18th he had an engav,ement with the corps of RUDIGER, consisting of 12,000 men, with twenty-two cannon, that he defeated it, took eight cannon, and killed a great many men; the enemy left 800 men wounded in the field ; the Russian General PLAZKOFF was mortally wounded. Our loss was small. From Kolodno, General DWERNICKI had sent strong detachments to observe the enemy. The Polish eagle has been set up at Radziwilow." THE MARKETS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

LIFE OF SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.—The biography of this illustrious individual is connected with a very peculiar era of history; his private and professional exe; tions have reference to names in Europe the greatest for power, rank, affluence, talents, and virtues. As mieht have been anticipated, the ahove work contains numerous anecdotes and p trt.culars of Royalty now published for the first time. The picture of the domestic happiness of the Princess CHARLOTTE and Prince LEoroLn at Claremont —the account of the painter's attendance on the late QUEEN at Blackheath—and his interviews on various oc casions with the PRINCE REGENT-are among the most interesting features of the work. Considerable anxiety has been manifested at Bow-street Police-office, within the last few days. con cerning a young man named Ot4sr.ow, a clerk of Messrs. DRUMMOND, the banker, and a person in the employment of Mr. Deputy CARTER, Of Lombard-street, named ENDERSON—both of whom have suddenly disappeared without any ostensible motive of fraud, and without their friends or the police being able to obtain the slightest in formation of their fate. Mr. ONSLOW had, when last heard of, about 2,0001. about him in bank notes and se curities; but if embezzlement bad been his object, which his friends and employers from knowledge of his character strenuously deny, he might have procured a much larger sum at Messrs. Cox and 131nnutries, Charing-cross , whither he was bound on the day of his disappearance . ENDERSON had but V. of his employers' property about him on the day he disappeared, so that a suspicion of em bezzlement cannot attach to him. It was proposed by the friends of the missing men that minute inquiries should be instituted concerning them at the several houses Of il l " fame ; or, if there unsuccessful, at the anatomical theatres. Mr. HALLS expressed his willingness to assist as, far as in him lay, and directed LEDBITTER to leave no means un tried for ascertaining the fate of both. A FATHER'S IMPULSE.—When Lord EasKtnt made his debut at the bar, his agitation almost .wercatne him and he was just going to sit down. At that moment, " said he, " 1 thought I felt my little chit dreg tugging at my gown, and the idea roused me to an exertion of which I did not think myself capable."

THE LATE DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON, AND VISCOUNTESS NELSON...--It is a coincidence worthy of remark, that the wives of the two most distinguished warriors of our age and country have died within the last fortnight. The decease of the Duchess of WELLINGTON we have already recorded to have taken place on the 24th of April, and on the 4th of May, Viscountess NELSON, Duchess of BRONTE, relict to the immortal hero, expired. So near in death, so near alike in life The Earl and Countess of WILTON have re cently sustained another domestic calamity, by the death of their infant daughter, and only surviving child, Lady Margaret GROSVENOR EcEn - rox. Not more than twelve months have elapsed since the Earl and Countess had to lament the loss of their heir apparent, Viscount GREY DE WILTON, Who expire!! at the age of fi ve years ; and their e!dest daught er, L a d y ELEANOR EGERTON, died in June, 1824, in her second yea . . The Countess presented her Lord with another young Viscount, at his Lordship's house, in Grosvenor-square, on Wtdaesday last. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCEL-(TIIIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

IKEY SOLOMON'S AGAIN', The Lord Mayor, Judges, and Recorder took their seats h , Court at ten o'clock, when Mr. Justice LITTLED ALE ordere, iolomons to be brought up. In a few minutes afterwards he wa, ,laced at the bar ; he looked extremely pale, and appears mud. wasted since the time of his trial. Mr. Justice LITTLED ALE theti said—lsaac Solomons, yos were tried and convicted before Mr. Serjeant Arabin at the las July Sessions of feloniously receiving fourteen watch move :vents, the property. of Messrs. --- and Strachan. On th , trial your Counsel contended that (notwithstanding the nett Ac , 4 Parliament) the offence was not a felony, but simply a mis lemeanour. This objection has been referred to the opinion o the Judges, who had giveh it their most anxious and carefu! consideration, and I have now to inform you that the rnajorit if them are of opinion that the conviction wa• Solomons bowed to the Court and was about to retire; whet. The RECORDER ordered him to be called up for judgment. RECORDER—The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of fourteen years. Mr. Won tner said there was another charge against the prisoner The COURT said it would be unnecessary to proceed with it. The prisoner was then removed from the fiat. THE MURDER IN BEDFORDBURY. Thomas Gallagher, aged 25, Edward Gallagher, aged 36, Martin Moran, aged 46, and Ann Moran, aged 34, were indictee. for the wilful murder of Jas. Dockerav, on the 24th of April List The prisoners were defended by Messrs CLARKS ON, BODKIN and BARRY. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the „prosecution, and afterwards called the following witnesses : Elizabeth White examined—l did not know the deceased ; was on the :24th of April in Brewer's-court, Bedfordbury, when i saw a man in a straw hat holding the deceased by the collar. That man was Thomas Gallagher, Edward Gallagher was also ,resent; the deceased was trying to make his escape, the pri. loners followed and struck him several times with their fists. The deceased did not strike them again ; I then saw Thos. Gallagher strike the deceased twice on the head with a long stick, like a broom handle, which felled him to the ground ; I then went away; the prisoner Thomas Gallagher then put his hat over his 'see and walked up Bedfordbury ; the parties did not appear in liquor. ross-examined—The prisoners did not appear to be angry ; there were eight or nine other persons present; at the time Thomas Gallagher was holding the deceased by the collar, he had t the stick in his hand ; I do not know where he got it from ; the prisoners are all natives of Ireland; that part of the town is much frequented by the Irish. Mary Wighton examined--I live in Brewer's-court, Bed fordbury. On the morning of the 24th of April I saw Thomas Gallagher draw the deceased by the collar out of his lodgings. When he got him out he chucked the deceased in a " spiteful" manner on the ground. I saw no more of what afterwards took place. Cross-examined—At this time no one was present but Thomas Gallagher and deceased. Peter Gildey examined—l live in Brewer's-court. On the 24th of April 1 saw Thomas Gallagher draw the deceased out of his lodgings and throw him down. The deceased at this time was apparently dead. I went immediately to fetch the police; during my absence they had been taken into the house. This took place about nine o'clock in the morning. Jeremiah Corcoran examined—l live in Brook's-court, Dean street. I know all the prisoners. On the 2lth of April I was in the next court to Brewer's-court, when I heard a cry of murder. I went there and saw Thomas Gallagher throw the deceased on the stones He appeared at this time perfectly helpless. I could not say whether he was alive or dead. I heard the prisoner say to the deceased, " If you recover yourself, 1 will come and see you again at night." James Fox examined--4 live at No. 3, Brewer's-court. On Sunday morning the 24th of April, about eight o'clock, I heard a scream in the court. I looked out of the window and saw Thomas Gallagher throw the deceased on the stones. I went down stairs, and saw blood on the deceased's face. 1 then went down the court, and the prisoner followed. He said, " Fox, why are you not in the row ?" I told him that I did not wish. He then said Moran and the deceased had been fighting him, and asked me if I could think ill of him for taking his own part. The police then came up to where the deceased had been lying. The body had been removed to Moran's apartments. Moran said he fetched the police to take charge of Toni Gallagher. John Wilson (a police officer), examined-1 was sent for to Bedfordbury on the 24th of April, about nine o'clock. When I got to Brewer's-court, I found it full of people. I did not see anything of the fight or quarrel. I went to No. 4, the door was closed, and I demanded admittance. The female pri soner askel me what I wanted. I .said. there was a man either dead or dying. She replied there was nothing the matter, the man was not dead; I then pushed the dooropen, and on entering Moran's room I saw a corpse lying across the bed ; I saw blood on Mrs. Moran's arm, from the elbow to the wrist, and therefore took her into custody, and sent for a surgeon to examine the body. Martin Moran was not present, but I met him afterwards in Bucklersbury, and took him into custody, he had blood on his hands; he had been drinking, but I cannot say that he was drunk; I took hold of him by the arm, when he said that was needless, as he should not run away, After taking him to the station.housc I went back to the prisoner's house, and under the bed where the deceased was lying I found this stick (a broom-handle) and two pieces of iron, On the iron was a small quantity of hair; it appeared like hurnin hair. Cross-examined—l know nothing of the stick, any thing more than finding it under the deceased's bed. Human hair is some times used in mixing mortar. Mr. Thomas, Superintendant of Police, examined—ln conse quence of information, on the 24th of April, from the last wit. ness, I went to Brewer's-court,. I found a great number of per sons assembled; I entered the house No. 4, and there saw the dead body of a man lying on the floor; I observed that his face and neck were in a state of great discolouration ; there was also a slight contusion on the nose • his face had the appearance of having been recently washed. I inquired who had committed the act ? and Ann Moran said, "Tom Gallagher." I asked where he was, and she replied, " Oh, he is off; you won't get him." I then secured every person in the house, and examined the apart ment. In one of the rooms I saw fresh blood on the walls. On looking minutely at the body I found a contused wound on the back of the head. (The hair found on the iron was here pro duced—there were only three blades.) Ann Moran's clothes were bloody, which might have been produced by her removing the deceased to the bed-room. Mr. Bainbridge examined.—l am a surgeon, and was called in to examine the body of the deceased on the 24th of April. Ile was then quite dead, and had been so some minutes. On the 26th of April, in company with two other medical gentlemen, I again examined the body. Th de ceased was a stout, well-formed, healthy man. There was a discolouration of the face as in cases of sudden death. There was no appearance of violence except some small contusions on the head. Under the scalp were several marks of discoloura• ion, but there were no corresponding external marks. There was also a quantity of extravasated blood on the brain. The chest shewed symptoms of inflammation. On the whole I am of opinion that the cause of death arose from blood on the brain, and that such blood was produced by blows or a fall. Two other gentlemen gave similar opinions. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoners having been called on for their defence, • Thomas Gallaghez said that he struck the deceased in his own defence ; he was innocent of the murder. Edward Gallagher entered into a long defence, which he de livered in P. most impassioned but respectful manner. He de clared his entire innocence of the charge, and protested, in the most solemn manner, that he had never seen the de. ceased either living or dead. He therefore hoped the Court would not suffer the life of an innocent man to be taken away on the oaths of witnesses who were not worthy of credit. The whole of the prisoner's address was well arranged and de livered with an earnestness that produced a considerable sensa tion in Court. Martin Moran said that he knew nothing whatever of the tran saction. He left home in the morning of the 24th of Apil, at half-past six o'clock, and on hii return was taken into custody. He was quite innocent. Ann Moran made a very long defence, and gave her history of the fatal transaction. In substance it was, that the deceased, who was her lodger, brought two women home about six.o'clock in the morning of the 24th of April. She remonstrated with him for so doing, but he told her that as long as he paid his rent he had a right to bring home whom he pleased. He then insisted upon some gin being sent for. Prisoner told him the public houses were not open, but after some time Thomas Gal lagher said he would get it, and went out for that purpose. He was gone a long time, when deceased with an oath said, .‘ If he don't bring the gin he shall be sorry for it." The women said, .‘ Oh, never mind," and went away before Gallagher returned. When, however, he did come back, deceased beg.in a quarrel, and struck him a blow. Tom (the prisoner) returned it, and a fight took place. The prisoner here went into the whole particulars of what she said occurred, but with that volubility of tongue that it was impossible to On_ derstand half what she said, and notwithstanding the serious nature of the inquiry, it was almost equally impossible to re frain from a smile. It was a hard task even with the Bench to preserve its gravity. She concluded her statement by describing how her feelings were hurt; for bless your Lord sfiip, she exclaimed, the poor things lived together like brothers. When the policeman came I ran away and called murder, for I hate the sight, my Lords, of a poiceman as I do of a thief. Several witnesses were recalled, but their testimony was not material. The Counsel for the prisoners declined calling any witnesses on their behalf. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE recapitulated the evidence with great minuteness ; and the Jury, after a short consultation, re turned a verdict finding Thomas Gallagher guilty of manslaugh ter, and acquitting the other three prisoners. The RECORDER immediately ordered the prisoner to be brought up for judgment, and after a suitable address, sentenced him to be transported beyond the seas for the term of his na. tural life. The prisoner (a young athletic Irishman), on hearing his sen tence, went off into violent hysterics, and was carried out of Court by two officers. NEW COURT. John Taylor and John James Manlell, were indicted, the former for having stolen a sack of oats, value 165., the property of his employer, Mr. Alfred Lucas, corn dealer, in Illackfriars road, and the latter with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS and Mr. LEE appeared for the prisoners. After hearing evidence the COMMON-SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury found the prisoners both Guilty. A lad named James Thomas, was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief from the pocket of Mr. Abraham Wyvill, the in. ventor of a fire-escape, residing in the Hampstead-road.— Acquit 'ed. Ann Arming, a pretty-looking girl, aged 17, an orphan, And to. tally destitute, was indicted for stealing a pair of brown holland sleeves, used by cheesemongers' and grocers' shoonen, from the door of a second-hand clothes-shop in St. Luke's. The prisoner bearing a good character, and a man who came forward in her behalf undertaking to procure her some employment, she was fined one shilling and discharged. The sleeves were valued at eightpence, and the expense of pro- secution to the county amounted to twenty-six shilling.. CHESTER, 111Ay lt. REFORM! REFORM! 1 VICTORY ! !

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. APPLEBY, MAT 11. The election for the county of Wc,tmnreland com menced and terminated this morning; and thrGugh the triumph is not quite so complete as the best friends of the cause could have wished, is still a great triumph over the most deadly of the opponents of the domineering house of Lowther. In this county, which has so long re turned two of that family, and which has always been looked upon by them as their pocket hor;iiigb, one Re former has been returned, and that, so far as the Bill is concerned, is a great point gained. The town was much thronged, and the independent party in particular mustered in great strength. At eleven o'clock the Court opened in the Shire-hall; but this being found inadequate to contain all who sought admissiOn, the business was adjourned to the front of the Court-house. Ab ut.-2,000 persons were present. Mr. Lhn Hill, of RanCtoot, (a barrister) proposed Colonel Lowther, and was seconded by Mr. M, Atkinson, of Temple Sowerby. Mr. John Wakefield, of Kendal, then proposed A:exan der Nowell, Esq. of Under', y Park, who, he said, was prevented by unavoidable circumstances from being pre sent. Mr. Nowell, through hint, was ready to pledge himself to the Bill—he meant the entire spirit of the Bill, for it was possible some minor aiterations might be neces sary. Mr. Wakefield thought it was a proud day for the county—for it was the first tune for thrte quarters of a century that an independent Member had been proposed with the almost certain prospect ot success. Mr. R. Tinkler, ot Eden Grove, seconded the nomi nation. Colonel Lowther then addressed the freeholders, and was received with a mixture of applause and hisses, the latter far predominating. He 8,41 lie was not against all Reform ; but was opposed to the Bill. He did not object to disfranchise boroughs which should be convicted of bribery and corruption, and giving the franchise to large manufacturing towns. Mr. Crackenthorpe then came forward, and congratu lsted the freeholders on the victory they bad achieved, in forcing the house of Lowther to come t.) terms with the independent party. He thanked the freeholders for the support offered to him, when it was understood he was to be put in nomination ; but believing that Mr. Nowell would perform the service as will as himse'f, and being more able to bear the expense, it Rave him (Mr. C.) much pleasure to see that gentleman brought forward. - The Sheriff then declared Henry Cecil Lowther and Alexander Nowell, Esq. duly elected. Colonel Lowther and John Wakefield, Esq. (as tl?e locum Gnens of Mr. Nowell) were then chaired ; and thus terminated the Westmoreland election. It is upwards of sixty years since a blue chair was seen in Appleby.
