The mother hastened down and rescued the younger child about two Years of age ; which she took to an opposite public nous e• Some neighbours assisted in extinguishing the t ire, when th e b o d y of the elder child was found ly i ng on me floor, having been forgotten to be removed by the mother, Mrs. Horsford, in her fright, it is supposed, and the poor little fellow died from suffocation. LONDON MILK.—We learn from the Medical Tones and Gazette that the medical officer of health of an it nPortant London parish sent a reliable messenger to pur ellass samples of milk from every dealer in the parish. T he number of dealers is forty, and two or three sepa rate samples were sent for from such of them as sold the Poorest milk, so as to make 60 in all. In every case the messenger was directed to ask for a pennyworth or two ae l illYworth of the best new milk ; thus lewing it to the ller to g i ve w h a t ev er quantity he could a ff or d to tell for 2 0 money. The range of quantity and quality i n th e ; a llells specimens was marked enough—some dealers giv lg twelve and a half fluid ounces : others no more than e r i *t• But the result of the examination, so far as it " con "r 118 now, is this—that the dealers who l i ve in good ~,,e ct s, and supply res pectable and intelligent people, for the - ' o %t part furnished talerably good milk ; whilst they who t welt in back streets and mews supplied the worst; and did Ai l ° ', 3lll Ponsate for want of quality by excess 'of quantity. o ; o u le samples, run' e in number, which were of the sp. gr.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) HATCH 'V. LEWIS. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. hatch against Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, the attorneys, for alleged negligence in conducting his defence, at the Central Cri minal Court, on the occasion of his trial, on an indictment for indecently assaulting two children, named Eugenie and Stephanie Plummer, wit') had been placed under his care for their education. Mr. Hatch, it will be recollected, at the period referred to, occupied the position of chaplain of the Wandsworth House of Correction, and the result of the trial was that he was found guilty on both indictments, and sentenced by Baron Bramwell to a period of four years' imprisonment. Mr. Hatch afterwards indicted the elder girl Plummer for perjury, when the jury found her guilty, and she was accordingly taken into custody. The charge against Messrs. Lewis was that they had omitted to call certain witnesses, who were in attend. ance on the first trial, and in consequence of such omission Mr. Hatch was found guilty. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Damages were laid at £5,000. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Garth appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Lush were for the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers, in opening the case, said it was one of the most important that had ever been brought into a court of justice, because it involved the happiness of a gentleman who had been beloved and respected, and also deeply affected the interest of another gentleman of great eminence at the bar. The case, it was to be regretted, would, in the course of its prcgress, bring before them the secret communications that existed between client and attorney ; and as such communications had hitherto been held sacred, it was to be regretted that Mr. Hatch had no other course open to him to regain his position in society except by laying the whole of the circumstances before the jury. In dealing with the case he should confine himself entirely to facts; and he though, after having carefully gone through the case, they would be of opinion that Mr. Hatch had such a case as would carry conviction to the mind of every person that he was entirely innocent of the charge brought against him. lie implored any person who had the slightest doubt on the subject to have that doubt thoroughly cleared up, as the most searching investi gation was courted by his client. It would not be necessary for him to go at any great length into the facts, because the proceedings at the trial at the Old Bailey would still be fresh in the recollection of every person. Mr. Hatch, at the time of the circumstance, occupied the position of chaplain of the Wandsworth House of Cor rection, and, being desirous of increasing his income, he undertook to educate two young children. On the 11th of August Mrs. Plummer arrived at Wandsworth, with her daughter Eugenie, a child about 11 years of age, and, having arranged the preliminaries, she left her in Mr. Hatch's care. The charge made against Mr. Hatch was that, very shortly after Mrs. Plummer had quitted Wands worth, ho took the child Eugenie and his own adopted daughter into the garden, and there placed her hand on the lower part of his person, through a hole in his trowsers pocket; and this incredible proceeding, it was stated, took place in the broad daylight, in front of Mr. Hatch's house. The next charge was of an e qually of rocious nature, namely, that his client had gone int* Eugenie's bedroom and there made her use her hand in a manner that ho would not shock the jury by further alluding to it. This dreadful charge was not said to have occurred once or twice, but was carried on for upwards of a fortnight. Sometime after the younger child, Stephanie Plummer, aged eight, was brought to Mr. Hatch's residence; and immediately after she was left there by her parents Mr. Hatch commenced the same disgusting practices towards her. The parents, on being informed by the children that Mr. Hatch had acted in a disgusting manner, immediately wrote to the Bishop of Winchester, who transmitted a letter requiring an explanation to Mr. Hatch, which also contained a copy of the communication Mr. Plummer had made to the bishop. In a short time after a magisterial inquiry was ordered, and on Saturday, Nov. 11, his client surrendered himself into custody. Mrs. Hatch, on the Sunday following, engaged Messrs. Lewis to defend her husband, giving to them the papers of Mr. Hatch, together with the bishop's lettsto her husband. The result of the first inquiry on the Monday was that Mr. Hatch was committed for trial, but was admitted to bail, himself in £5OO, and two sureties in £250 each. His client was unable to procure such heavy bail, and was consequently detained in custody. Ho main tained that the duty of a careful attorney was 'tot to have quietly allowed his client to be committed for trial on an occasion like that, but to have represented that on such a charge made against a clergyman, ho wished to have an opportunity of looking over his instructions, as ho had re ceived them but a few hours before, and he fully believed he should be in a position to produce overwhelming evidence to refute so grave a charge. He should also have con tended that his client ought to have been allowed to go at large on his own recognisances ; at all events, until the charge had been substantiated. The very fact of a committal having gone forth was, he considered, fatal to Mr. Hatch. Mrs. Hatch was completely prostrated by such a decision, and immediately went to Mr. Lewis beseeching him to allow her to see Mrs. Plummer or the gentleman conduct ing the prosecution ; but Mr. Lewis said sho could but prejudice the case of her husband by adopting the course she proposed, and also told her that such a step was quite irregular. Things went on until the evening before the trial, when a mooting was held at Mr. Lewis's, and then Mrs. Hatch was informed that it was not their intention to call witnesses for the defence. She strongly remonstrated against such a course, but she was overruled, and told that all things had been settled, and it had been finally decided not to call witnesses to rebut the evidence given for the prosecution. The morning of the trial came. Miss Howe, the servants of Mr. Hatch, and a number of other persons were in attendance in the lobby of the Old Court of the Old Bailey, who could speak positively in favour of Mr. Hatch, and Mr. Lewis well knew that they were there. Mrs. Hatch could not help, in her great anxiety of mind, again begging of Mr. Lewis to instruct Mr. Hatch's counsel (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine) to call the witnesses, but he said, " Oh, no. It's all arranged— we shall only call witnesses to character." She, poor woman, then, in the agony of her mind, said, " Mr. Lewis ! Mr. Lewis I are the Plummers to have it all their own way ?" Ho replied, " Oh, it's all right—everything is arranged ; leave it all to me." The trial concluded, and Mr. r Hatch was convicted. But how ? He would not say the jury were wrong. Far be it from him to utter such a thought. The judge was one of the most upright on the bench, and he could not but think that the fatal verdict was to be attributed to tho fact of not calling the witnesses to contra dict the statements of those for the prosecution. Witnesses, it was true, were called as to character, and the character Mr. Hatch received was such as any man might bo proud of, but now came the sentence. Mr. Hatch was then con demned to the utmost extent of the law. But fortunately there were those who, in spite of everything to the con trary, fully believed in the innocence of Mr. Hatch, and steps were taken to indict Eugenio Plummer for perjury. He could not deduce a stronger circumstance in favour of his client than what occurred some time after the trial, when eleven of the jury who had convicted him signed a petition for his pardon to the Secretary of State. The petition was ineffectual at that moment, and the trial for perjury proceeded. Mr. Hatch convicted Eugenie Plummer, and this result was arrived at by the examination of the six witnesses who were in attendance at the first trial. He did not think a stronger proof of the innocence of his client could be adduced, and it was to mark the dissatisfaction and injury which Mr. Hatch had suffered that ho new took the present stop against Mr. Lewis. At the second trial Mr. Hatch offered himself for cross-exa mination, in which he was most minutely examined. Mrs. Hatch, Lucy Hatch, and others were examined and be lieved, and his client was now in this painful position—he was not a guilty man, but he was a most unfortunate one ; and although he had received her Majesty's most gracious pardon, yet the injury ho had sustained was irreparable—he was, in fact, a ruined man —his hopes had been annihilated by the conviction against him, and for years the stigma of conviction would preclude him obtaining a livelihood. His client said he had a cause of complaint, the law said so too, and it was to obtain reparation for the injury ho had suffered that ho now came into a court of justice. Feb. 1, between S and B. E.

On that lady taking her position in the witness box, The Lord Chief Baron said it appeared to him that the case would certainly not finish that day, and that it would be a very protracted ono. When he came to the court that morning, for the first time since his illness, he had no idea that such a heavy case was set down for hearing, and as he thought it would be impossible for him to occupy his seat that day through so important a trial, he had sent for the services of one of his learned brothers (Baron Martin) who would try the case. Mr. M. Chambers, with the greatest respect to the learned judge, said he thought it was absolutely essential that the judge trying the case s hould have heard the open ing speech of counsel.

The Lord Chief Baron said it was utterly impossible he could undergo the fatiguo 0 ? even taking the necessary notes of so long a trial. Mr. Sergeant Shee also would prefer that his lordship should hear the case. He ouch regretted the cause that had compelled his lordship co make the announcement he had done. There was not a learned judge on the bench who hid, for so many years, without the slightest interrup tion, occupied his seat with so much constancy and regu larity, and he could not but say he sincerely regretted his lordship's indisposition. The better course he thought would be to adjourn the case until a future day. Mr. Edwin James thou;ht a week's adjournment would meet the convenience of all parties.

Chambers—Then, my lord, with your permission, we will adjourn until Thumlday next; and in the event of your lordship not being able to proceed that day, perhaps your lordship will intimate the fact to your officers, who would communicate with counsel en both sides. The Lord Chief Baron—Tory well ; Thursday next at en o'clock. Mr. Sergeant Shee—And that no public notice be taken of this day's proceedings. Ito hoped the gentlemen of the press would abstain from reporting the case at present. With regard to this suggestion his lordship made no further observation, but proceeded to dispose of the other business on the paper. - - The court throughout the whole Df the morning wits most inconveniently crowded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND SINGULAR DETECTION OF THE THIEF. —Jame, Farrell, potman, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Taylor, landlord of the Albion pitblichouse, 8, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, of the value of £l2. Mr. Taylor said the prisoner had been in his employ about five weeks as potman. On Wednesday last he missed the watch and chain from his drawing-roam table, and at first suspected the cook and barmaid. He asked the whole of his servants, five in number, and in consequence of their all denying knowledge of it, and his having been robbed since Christmas, he gave all his servants notice to leave. Not knowing the number, and being referred by a pawn broker to the person who had repaired it as the person to tell him the number, to give information to the police, he went to Mr. Davis, jeweller, Duke-street, Manchester-square, and last night heard that the watch was stopped. Mr. Lewis Davis, of 46A, Duke-street, Manchester square, jeweller, said that at eight last night the prisoner came in and offered the watch and chain for sale, asking £l2 for them. He told the prisoner he thought it rather suspicious that he should have such a watch and chain, and he then said they were his own property, and that he bought them at Liverpool. He (Mr. Davis) then showed them to a young man in the shop, who said he knew who the watch belonged to. He then sent for the prosecutor and detained the prisoner and the watch. Peck, 28 C, proved prisoner's admitting that he stole the watch and chain. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. A LUCKY FELLOW.—Margaret Harvey, a woman of the town, aged 31, and dwelling at No. 20, Edward-street, St. George's East, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing £l5 from the person of a sailor named William Embry. The prosecutor stated that he met with the prisoner directly after he was paid off, and he treated her with lots of grog, in return for which she robbed him of all his money. It had since been returned to him, and he wished to go home and drop all further proceedings. Mr. Selfe—You have got your money. Well, you are a very lucky fellow. Seamen who have been robbed in the dens in this district have very seldom recovered [a farthing. The magistrate, then addressing the prisoner, said she was a most notorious thief. He had seen her in the felon's dock frequently. She would come to grief at last. She was discharged. SHAM ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—A tall Lancashire man, who gave the name of Bolton Manchester, about 31 years of age, and who was described as a packer, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with attempting suicide by endea- N ouring to throw himself into the Regent's-canal. A police-constable named Birch, 267 K, stated that he saw prisoner in the Canal-road trying to climb over a wall which divided the Regent's-canal from the road, near the New Globe, Mile-end. The prisoner said he was tired of his life, and would destroy himself. The prisoner's land lord and others were near him. Mr. Selfe—This won't do. Men who intend to commit suicide do not do it under the nose of a policeman and half a dozen other persons. _ _ _ The prisoner said he was out of work. Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by giving the names of Bolton Manchester. One is a town, the other a city in Lancashire. The prisoner—Those are my real names. Mr. Selfe—lt is very odd, indeed. Birch produced a note, on which a few words were scrawled and blotted as if written in a great hurry. He believed it said, "Father, as soon as possible send me a trifle." There were two pawnbrokers' duplicates in it. Mr. Selfe—Yes, for goods pawned last July. Inspector Kenessey—The prisoner, I understand, has been out of work ten weeks. Mr. Solfe—lf ho is a lunatic he ought to be looked after ; if he is not, ho ought to bo imprisoned for his wickedness in trying to make people believe ho intended to commit suicide. He is remanded for a week. He will bo taken care of in the Clerkenwell House of Detention. THE WE A TILER.

It has also granted rewards amounting to £203 4s. for saving 245 shipwrecked persons by shore boats and other means, making a total of 455 persons says d from a watery grave ' • a most satisfactory resu It, and clearly showi ng how much has been accomplished by the well-directed efforts which the National Lifeboat Institution has brought to beat on this humane cause. This great and national work has, however, only been accomplished by the sock ty incurring liabilities to the extent of £5,419. With so sacred an object in view as the rescue of our fellow-creatures from an appalling death by shipwreck, it might be supposed that the Lifeboat Institution had claims which would come home to the heart of every one in this great maritime co antry. Such it may be hoped will be the case as its operations become more generally known, and thus an abundant harvest, not only of popular sync patby, but of general pecuniary support, will be the p ermanent Lifeboat Institution do not, therefore, hesitate to solicit most earnestly the support of the community at large in aid of the benevolent objects of the institution. They cannot but sympathise with the vigor ousefforts now being made by the society to save the lives of shipwrecked crews. Their help waa never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary efforts the society has made within the past few years, it has now 108 lifeboats under its management ; for the main tenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency. a large permanent annual income is absolutelj needed if its humane mission is to be perpetuated. We may add that contributions in aid of the philan thropic and national objects of the Lifeboat Institu tion are received by all the London and country bankers, and by its secretary, 14, John-street, Adelphi. THIS DAYS 111AREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Several of Monday's unsold samples of English 'whew were on offer here to-day. Although the arrivals fresh up were limited, tho demand for both red and white parcels ruled heavy, at about Monday's decline in value. The imports of foreign wheat continue on a liberal scale for the time of year, and the show of samples was large. Good and fine qualities were taken to some extent in retail parcels, at previous rates ; but other kinds were lower to sell. There was only a limited inquiry for barley. In prices, however, no change took place. Fine malt was in somewhat improved request, at full prices; but other kinds were very dull. A steady business was doing in oats in granary, on former terms. Both beans and peas realised full currencies, but the de mand for them was by no means active. The flour trade was very dull, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. WheAt.
