At half-past ten yesterday morning, a third suicide of a most extraordinary kind—that. of leaping .from the Monument—was committed. ity a respectable dressed young female. At: the time above - stated, As paid sixpence, the usual fee for . pertOmdon to 4,st end to the top of the Monument,. and unmedia,telk-sent up the winding staircase to the iron railing -which surrounds the top on the outside. It is stated by per sons who witnessed the occurrence, that she bound her eyes with a handkerchief, and then climbing over that point of the railings Which faces King William street, took a spring, and leaped, head foremost, to the ground. In her descent she turned round, and as she struck the earth in a position by which her knees were near her chest, nearly every bone was broken. She took such a leap that she fell upwards of twelve feet from the base of the Monument, and cleared a cart that was standing by the side of the pavement. Immediately the shocking affair was seen, crowds of persons, attracted as ''well by the noise of the fall as the circumstance or a woman leaping from the monument ; they found her quite dead, at dreadfully lacerated. Several of the City police stlon made their way through the crowd, and conveyed the body to St. Margaret's Church, Upper Thaw*. street, near London-bridge. At the time that t 14,4 account was written there was no clue whatever ffe the residence of the unhappy girl, or to that of her friends and relations, and her name was unknown. She was rather good-looking, with a full face, rsthee stout, and was about 2'2 years of age. Tier dress consisted of a flowered gown, white leghorn bonnet, black shawl, and white stockings. The greatest ex citement prevailed in the streets in the vicinity of the Monument, and Fish-street-hill and part of Thames street was rendered almost impassable, the crowd was so great. Information was sent to Mr. Payne, the City-Coroner. al At ester• i. .. N G N No. 15,596 LONDON, SATURDAY AUGUST 20, 1842 PRICE sd. THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE .

F _ EAVER'S EAIBROCATION for GOU 1, RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c. Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the Times:"-- " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and 1 suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the aside to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every, resource of relief which I and my medical friends in 'the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sutting Sir Benjunin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was sole to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I ant now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to hint, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellovr-suf ferers. possessing, as I ever did, the stronges prejudice against everything in the sha p e of quackery, I sthould be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. P.S. At the various comuitations held upsn my case, the v surons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, bat, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of !pawn since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T.

SINGULAR CASE.--A pretty-looking country female, with a very innocent expression of countenance, who gave me name of Harriett Seaman, was placed at the bar under the following circumstances: Police-constable, F 50, stated that he found the prisoner last evening upon Waterloo Bridge, •and as she appeared rather woe begone, he asked her what she was doing • there ? • She replied 'that she was looking at the water. "Perhaps you would like to step into it ?" added witness. Yes, that's .what I mean,7rOplied the prisoner. Her conduct was other wise so odd, that witness thought it politic to take her into custody.. On searching her at the station-house a bottle of laudanum and eleven shillings and a sixpence were found upon her. The prisoner expressed her contrition, and was about to be discharged, when Mr. Bowstead, the Clerk, who happened to hold in his hand the Hue and Cry Gazette for Wednesday last, observed a description of one Martha Seaman, who had absconded from Mr. Thomas Frye, Church warden of Saffron Waldon, in Essex, taking with her a half-crown of the time of Cromwell, a crown of Charles 11., a crown of William 111., a crown of George 1., a crown of George 11., a half crown of George 11., and a shilling of George 11. The description of the person in the Hue and Cry corresponded exactly with that of - the prisoner; and, on her being closely cillestioned by Mr. Bowstead, she confessed that she had been,,till lately, in the service of Mr. Frye, of Saffron Waldon, and had absconded, but she denied all knowledge of the coins which she was suspected to have stolen. Mr. TWYFORD ordered her to be remanded till Monday, that communication might be had with Mr. Frye. MORE PERSECUTION.—firs. Elizabeth Chapman, of Somers-town, appeared to answer a summons pre ferred against her for exhibiting an inflammatory placard. - Police sergeant S 15, prved the charge. The defendant, however, alleging her utter igno rance- of-the • mischievous tendency .of the Placard, was discharged. - _ _ Mr:R. Chulow, butcher, of Somers4own, pleaded guilty to the same charge, and passed his word not to publish, or cause to be published, inflammatory pla cards in future.—He was discharged. Mr. COW, turner, of Bruns w i c k- s treet, St. Pan cras, was similarly charged. Police constable John Park, 5 E, proved the case, and added that the defendant told him that he meant to attend the meetings advertised in the placards. The defendant said, if the bills were illegal, he should think the policeman ought to have told him so, and have given him the opportun of taking it down, instead of Summo n i ng him here.&Jfe should be obliged if the Magistrate would tell him under what Act the bills were made illegal? It could not be under the late Police Act. Mr. TWYFORD said it was not under the Police Act. This was an offence against the peace. Defendant said, till he s a w th e reports i n Th e Sun newspaper, he had no idea th a t t h e bill s could be called. illegal ; 'he was not awa re o f i t a t th e time he put them up. If the bills w ere ill ega l, he should think the meetings were illegal also. Mr. TWYFORD—So they are. Defendant—And yet the meetings were held, and resolutions were passed, and everything went off quietly. Mr. TWYFORD—I shall bind you over in your own recognizances in the sum of 301., t o answer the charge at the next Quarter Session s , and to keep the peace till that time. The required ree?gnizances were then entered into. [;LION-HALL. I 0 H A Two men, named Fell and Martin were charged with breaking into and robbing a dissenting chapel, in Toole--street. The chapel was entered into at the rear, and plun dered of six bottles of wine, from the vestry-room, several bibles and prayer-books, besides a surplice, and suit of clothes belonging to the minister. The discovery took place owing to a quarrel be tween a woman and one of the prisoners with whom she cohabited. This woman gave such information on the sith;ect as led to the recovery of some of the books, which were discovered in the cesspool of the house in which the prisoners lived. As other charges are likely to be made against them, the prisoners were remanded. CHARGE or FORGERT.—Hand-bills were posted yesterday at the different police stations of the metro polis, offering a reward of 2001. for the apprehension of Joseph Burton, Vestry Clerk of the parish of St. Luke's, Old-street, who stands charged with having fiirged cheques to a considerable amount, with intent to defraud the parish. The accused has been missing since the sth inst., and from the handbill it would appear that his wife and children are the companions of his flight. Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Keating, Lieute nant-Colonel Campbell, Captai n Grange, Captain Ait chison, and the Rev. Mr. Rai ford, left London for Ant werp on Thursday afternoon , p assen g ers in th e Gen eral Steam Navigation Company's favourite steam-ship Rain bow. Captain F. Fife. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest, at the Golden Lidn. Seekford-street, S t . John street, Clerkeuwell, on the body of William Bennett, aged and wast 0:) get ea r r him ied u sixty, many years proprie tor of the above hous e , when it appeared, from the evidenc e of Thomas Benne tt (the son) and his wife Catherine, that deceased was ve ry corpulent, but in general good health , althou g h he had complained during the past week of pains in his shoulder and chest. On Friday morning,about rune o'c lock,h eyin g p r eviously taken a very hearty breakfast, he a rose and walk ed across the bar, when he suddenly exc laimed, " T homas, I am g ; in st g airs to —lfe b el ed ; very They up with assistance.

Lord Maidstone and Mr. Lumley killed 76 brace of grouse on the 12th, on the same moors. MEETING Or THE GREAT WESTEMIN RAILWAY COMPANY.—BRISTOL, THURSDAY. —A half..yearly Ge neral Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at the terminus this day at one o'clock, C. Russell, Esq., AIX., in the chair, when the Report of the Di rector s was, after considerable discussion adopted. A I ton °. debate took place on a prop osition b y Mr. Ovenden to abolish the reserved fund, and to declare a dividend of 7 per cent. instead of 6. Mr. Ovenden was supported i n his views by Mr. Lawrence Heyworth and several other Peoprietors, but, on the proposition being put to the meeting, it was lost.. On the whole, the meet i ng passed off very favourably. THE WEaTuus.—Thursday was beyond all ques tion the most sultry day this season. The thermometer stood, at two o'clock, at 84 in the shade. About four o'clock the wind shifted round from the east to the south west, and some heavy thunder clouds passed over the southern districts of London. At Kennington and Lam beth, about six P.M., there was a heavy fall -of rain, but it lasted only a short time. At a later hour the clouds i agan returned, and some rain fell in the . metroPor 18 — the appearance of the heavens giving every indication of a stem We regret to announce the untimely death of John Dallas Edge, Esq., barrister-at-law, under the follow ing most painful circumstances :—The deceased gen tleman, who resided in Molesworth-street, had arrived in town at five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, from Castlecomer, county Kilkenny, the residence of his father, and where he had been leaving his lady and two children. At half-past seven o'clock the same evening he, with his brother-in-law, William Mann sel, Esq., Jun., Grand Canal_Harbour, and -a young gentleman, named M‘Mullen, were taking a walk by . the Canal side, when they met Mr. Thomas Hamil ton, of James-street, who owned a small boat then lying in a pond, situate close to the canal, near the south Dublin Workhouse, and which served to supply water to Mount Browne mills. They agreed to have some rowing in the boat, but the latter lying far in the water they sought to get it to the land by means of a line having a hook attached to it. In throwing this Mr. Hamilton happened to let the line slip from his hand into the water. To recover it Mr: Maunsel stripped, swain in, and having attached the hook to the boat, he was returning with the line when his feet became entangled in some weeds ; he was in danger of being drowned, and called to his companions for assistance. Mr. Edge, divesting himself of his coat only; plunged unto the potid;'reached Maurreel, and having pushed him towards the hod, so as to extricate him from his perilous situation, they both took hold of the vessel on the same side. This caused it to immediately upset, and deceased letting go his hold, was swimming for the bank, When his feet were caught in the same tuft of weeds from which he had a moment previously rescued his friend, and before aid could reach him, he sunk in about twelve or four teen feet of water, never . more to rise in this life. Mr. M'Mullen had, on perceiving his danger, thrown himself into the water, and ,endeavoured, but inef fectively, to reach an oar over to him. Mr. Maunsel had, in the mean time, held on by the keel of the ves sel, and by that means sustained himself till some per sons coming by succeeded in getting him to land.' Drags having been as soon as possible procured, Mr. Edge's body was recovered in about three quarters of an hour. Dr. Madden, of James's-street, with several medical gentlemen from Stevens's hos.' 1, were quickly in attendance, and every effor tried to restore animation, but in vain p ns were removed to the. house of Mr. a. ere an inquest was held before Sir Nicholas ady, and a verdict of Accidental Death by Drowning was returned. The deceased was in the 34th year of his age. He was Honorary Secretary to the Conservative 'Society in Dawson-s reet, and filled the office of Seneschal of Castleco Freeman's Journal. S Y IikBEYROUT, JULY 13. he Austrian steam packet, accounts were 1 - 417 d of the conference at Balta Liman, between the Reis Effendi anclftlis Mi nisters of the Five Powers, on the subject of Leba non, at which were produced the attestations in fa vour of a Moslem Governor, of which we have al ready given the history, and at whielr'confertnce were repeated the old arguments about the righ of the Porte being incontestable, and the tranquillity of the Mountain being perfect. By the same packet the Maronite Patriarch re ceived a letter from Elias Horra, who, along with Halil Effendi, went to Constantinople, to expose the system of intimidation resorted to by the Turks, the substance of his communication being, that: some time after the conference of Balta Liman, the Reis Effendi sent for him, and having received hinxlVith marked paliteness, informed him that Selim Bev had received new instructions to proceed to Mount . Lebanon, and to go from village to village in order to get the real sense of the people with reference to a Mos lem Governor, or one from the House of Shebah, and that the suffrages were to be given with perfect free dom, and without fear of rendering themselves obnox ious on account of such expression of opinion. In company with Ali Bey, and the redoubtable Ilbraw-el-Orra, he first proceeded to Shooyafat, the residence of Bn;ir Ameen Reslau, who is all powerful here.' Selim Bey produced,' in the presence of the Emir Ameen Reslau and his adherents, a petition in Turkish, in favour of Omar Paella, and asked for the signatures of the people, and they signed the Turkish petition. Selim Bey then proceeded into Shout; but the particulars of his pro gress have not yat arrived. As a large proportion of the expelled Christians have taken refuge in Damascus, and as Selim Bey has no intention of going thither, they have transmited to him a petition, of which I enclose a translation : " ADDRESS OF THE CHRISTIANS OF LEBANON, WHO HAVE TAKEN REFUGE IN THE PACHALIC OF DA MASCUS. " 3d day . of Jemad-el-tang, 1258. (10th July, 1841.) " We crave the liberty of bringing to your Excel lency's notice the immense wrongs done to us by the Douses, in the burning of our homes, the killing of our sons, and the plunder of our property. Inasmuch as the Sublime Government has taken compassion on us, its slaves, and bas given orders to your Excellency to go from town to town to take the sense of the popu lation as to the choice of a Governor, and at the same time permitted the people with all liberty of conscience to sive its voice, we are emboldened to present this petition, and request from the Sultan, that in the ple nitude of his mildness, he would give us as Governor either the Emir Beshir or the,. Emir Ameen. We are impelled to make this request, not only in consequence pf the permission granted by the Government to speak with all freedom, but also of our own misfortunes, we being now wanderers from our homefor - Upwards of nine months, there being no security in Lebanon, be cause the Druses continue their oppression. " We make this request because the said Emir is full of knowledge and experience in the affairs of the Mountain, and because his presence alone is sufficient to afford a refuge to the oppressed and to inspire your Rajahs with such confidence as may enable them to return to their homes and apply themselves to their mercantile and agricultural pursuits. But, until this restoration take place, there can be no security, nor dare any wanderer return to his home, for up to the present hour the Christians have no repose. The E:nir Beshir has governed the Mountain for 65 years, dur ing which period the blood and possessions of the Rajahs were in security, and no scenes ever passed during his rule similar to those which have passed in his absence. We thus state the truth, and beg that the Sublime Porte in its mercy may give us repose by the investiture of the Emir Beshir, or his son, the Emir Ameen, in accordance with the usage of the Mountain,otherwise we have no hope for our property or blood---' And let the commands of him who coin mandeth he obeyed.' " By accounts from Aleppo Assad Pacha had sus pended the exequatur of the European Consular agents at Antioch. The plague has broken out at Rushela. Much discontent exists at Tripoli, in consequence of the ferdeh or Egyptian capitation tax. THE MOORS.—The Twelfth opened on the hills with one of those bright and balmy mornings, which have so peculiarly characterised this autumn. The un clouded sun, and the high temperature, cooled the ardour of many ; and, unlike most previous occasions, a few hours' morning shooting satisfied most . sportsmen, unless upon some highly p reserve d an d we ll stoc k e d grounds. The general success has, we are happy to say, toen better than appearances some weeks ago indicated ; in proof of which we may mention that yesterday morning 95 boxes passed through Perth for, the south, 95 of which were for the London steamer. Among the crack guns, the highest return for the first day we have heard was that of the Hon. Fox Maule, who bagged 84 brace at Kinloch, at the head of Strathbraan. Sir P. M. Tbripeland, at Balnaguard, killed 614 brace of grouse, and 5 mountain hares ; Mr. Butter, of Faskally, 56 brace, and Sir John Mackenzie, 50, in the moors of Glentruim. The-results from the Inverness-shire side are not so good ; individual parties at Dalwhinnie only bagged each from 15 to 30 brace, which has been about the daily average since.—Perthshire Courier, , The arrivals of steam-ships from the Belgian ports ; at the St. Katharine's Wharf, Tower, during the last three days, are as follow ;—The Bruges, Captain Main, from Ostend, and the Antwerpen, Captain Jackson, fr v g, Antwerp.

IMPORTANT TO ATTORNEYS A letter, in the following terms, has been addressed b`• the Under Secretary, Mr. Lucas, to each of the Assistant Barristers in Ireland : " Dublin Castle, Aug. 13, 1842. " Sir,---The attention of the Lord Lieutenant and of the Lord Justices has been called to complaints against attorneys acting at different Quarter Sessions, who have entered into resolutions declining to move and conduct civil bills unless the process has been drawn or signed by one of their body. The Act 36th 'Geo. Il 1., chap. 25, sec. 23, provides that it shall not be necessary that the civil bill process shall be signed by any attorney. Those resolutions must be regarded as tending directly to defeat that provision, by render ing it impossible for the suitor to have professional assistance unless he submit to incur a charge which the Legislature leaves it optional with him to incur or not. It is scarcely necessary to point out to you that such conduct by persons who are officers of the Court in which they practise, cannot be reconciled with their general professional duty ; and, with a view to its correction, the Lords Justices wish you to inquire whether resolutions to the above effect have been entered into by the attorneys who usually prac tise In your Court. As to the powers you possess to prevent its continua nce , th e i r Excellencies do not mean to offer any advice, or give any directions, fur there tenoot ttte;satt,(oll (if any) enam t : ( : ) )ot Nrov httohi express cahtt hpt t ei h um e l their desire, h that .:oantn,al will Lord-Lieutenant entered niti tcommuni cate powers lrmesiuon a iltlto r ti rneys the names of the persons who, in pursuance of such resolutions, have declined, when applied to, to move civil bills, and what steps, if any, you have adopted to correct the practice in question. " I have the honour, dr.c." END OF MR. O'CONNELL'S MAYORALTY. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Mr. O'Connell has announced that he does not again assume the office of 'Lord Mayor ; and thus those sanguine beings who calculated so complacently on transferring: the burthen of his maintenance from their shoulders to those of the citizens of Dublin, have that cup of consolation dashed from their lips for the present. He assigns as his reason the impropriety of holding civic office while so exclusively engaged in political agitation as he says he intends henceforth to he. We give him every credit for assigning a sufficient reason, if it be the true one ; but the truth, we have no doubt, is, that the several Lord Mayors expectant have kicked against the proposal of keeping Mini perpetually in office, and that he finds it safer to retire with a good grace, than to risk a more sum mary ejection. Be it as it may, he goes to renew an agitation, the cessation of which, he admits, has been attended by a decided advantage to the country. Al luding to the disturbances in Englanl, he observes:— " They could easily drspense with a military force; they could keep, without difficulty the peace of the city, so that the Queen's army - may be reinforced to any extent in those unhappily disturbed districts in England.—(Hear,. hear.) Perhaps it was giving the matter too much importance in thus alluding to it ; but it was right to observe that the country was never so tranquil, or in a situation in which they could so easily allow troops to leave, and depend on the loyalty, good order, and attachment of the people to their Sovereign as at the present moment." Had the country been excited by repeal meetings and inflammatory harangues during the last six months, as it used to be, when the people believed Mr. U'Connell to be in earnest, he could not have made this boast. We believe the country is tranquil, and that it needs but the retirement from public life of Mr. O'Connell, to secureits continuance in tranquil lity. We are not, however, it seems, to purchase tranquillity at that price. He cannot live in peace— not even in the comparatively peaceful con diti on h e has been in during the last session. He must have more war or die. Very well : the Attorney-General is ready for him, Ti*t Moors.-- On Friday, th e 12th—the first open day for grouse shooting —the weather set in rather wct and wild. The scent, in consequenc e , lay indifferently, and there was a lminess in the air that rendered it ecedingl„y ditheult to 'descry obeets at an di ex minute as the gorse coc k at re st in the wi y ld.stance, A, party of your that started from Matht for the Lord of Annan dale's preserved grounds at Rinnel-head, only bagged among the ta twenty brace ; but if that be considered bad arose more from the state of the elements than the scarcity of birds. Along Kinnel-water game is so hplentiful that, to use the wor d s of a Moffat man, " the meciers are gawp like cloaking hens." Much, hotvever, depends on situation ; and we are enabled to state, on the authority of a ducal gamekeeper, that wherever the land is particularly high; many pouts perished from want of water. Lower down the birds are described as ahanclant, remarkably well grown, and, in the estimation of tyros, inconveniently strong and wild on the wing. On Saturday the weather was more favourable, and we are aware of one young gentleman, who killed, in a brief space, nine and a half brace of birds, on Mr. Ba bingtu.n'a shooting farm, in the parish of Torthorwald. Aveund Minnyhive the sport was fair on the 12th, con siderably better on the lath, and is expected to be splendid this vit k y. Xven thus early, we have private accounts, ANNA Perthshire, where Mr. Fox Maule bagged, on Eke torrent, seventy brace, and some of his f4'panions fifty brace each. The Highlands, however, ones the land of the mountain and flood, is, par excel lence, the country tbr game ; and we believe instances might easily be cited in which the winged pay a higher rent thaß the woolly people.—Duny'ries Courier.

The lamentable occurrence has excited an unusual sensation in the neighbourhood ; the more so, in con sequence of its being generally known that subsequent to the eqtuilly distressing suicides of Miss Moyes and a boy, a - mes=senger had been appointed to attend at.

She repned, "Oh, - I - know the - Way." When at the top she retriained there ten minutes, appearing to he delighted,•ev r ith the surrounding scenery. She was there attended by. Nathaniel Fletcher, the man appointed , for that pur pose by the City Lands Committee, in pursuance of the recommendation of the Jury which was held two years since. She . inquired the position of the diffe rent edifices and churches in view, which were pointed out by the man, and she exhibited no incoherence in her manner. Fletcher thought she was about to de scend; and went down the steps before her, when she effected her dreadful purpose. The dress of the unhappy girl appears to be that of a respectable servant,,but it is- evident from the soft ness and whiteness - of the hands-that she has not been accustomed to - any kind of hard work. The foss finger of the left hand bear marks of the needle, hut even, those are rather slight. Several persons who were passing or standing on Fish-street-hill saw, the body of the unfortunate de ceased descend from the gallery, strike against the dragon on the north-west come: of the base of the, edifice, and r e bo un d ou t i nto t h e middle of the road on Fish-street-hill. A man connected with one of the steam-packet companies was standing almost close to the spot where she fell, and was the first who raised her from the ground. • A young woman dressed in a manner similar to the deceased Was seen at London-lwidge Wharf last night, inquiring with anxiety fir the arrival of a Margate steam-boat, by which she said she expected a young man to arrive.; and the man who first picked up-the deceased thinks she is the same person. It is suspected that the deceased was exciente, but, the fact will not be satisfactorily ascertained until the post mortem examination takes place. , . THE INTRUDER INTO WINDSOR CASTLE. --- The individual who was discovered in Windsor Castle on Monday night, under cirenivitances of great suspicion, was brought to' the illy:ne-office on Thursday for further examination. We , Aated his name in our last report to be John Quinlar: ; that was in correct—his real name, it appears, Thomas Ques:. ted, aged 40, and a native of Mai?,stone. The prisoner Was. brought to t'ay. , _llotinz.otteto shortly before two o'clock, - in a cab. He jumpea. o u t .of the cab -'on its arrival at Whitehall, awl air/eared in excellent spirits, holding- up his bundle ' Ahich is composed of sonic old things ti e d up i n a lib.te cotton pocket lu.ndkerchief, and exhibiting it in a mpnner as • if he supposed that he had obtained a triumph. Since the prisoner's committal to Tot'aill-fields pri son he has., behaved remarkably well, quite calm and collected, except when his title to the peerage is tbs. puted, and then most 'clamorously- asserts his supposed. right. - Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Dow-street, arrived at the Home-office before two o'clock, and /lifter a short delay the examination commenced, The fol lowing is the substance of what has taken place : The prisoner was on Thursday visited at Tothill-fields prison by Mr. Lavies, surgeon, of ing-street, and Mr. Wakefield, surgeon to Cold:oatli-fields prison, and closely examined as to his state of mind. He ap peared perfectly c oo l an d collected on every subject but one, viz. :—That lie had a titl e to the peerage. The medical gentl'emen inquired what title it war that he thought he had a .right to, when he replied, with an air of dignity, " I ant Lord .Godolpk:in D'Arcy, and every one knows it." On beim 'questioned on Th urs d ay at the home-office,by.Ar:liall, the unfortunate individual persisted in stating that he was Lord Godolphin 1)' Ares,, that he: was unjustly kept ouVof his rights. and that his vi:At to Windsor was merely to obtain those rights frAw a the Queen ; and went on to state that all the -w a y down to Windsor the people saw as he passed ',tat he was a lord, and knew well that hei l had a riglit to the title which he claimed; that individuals publicly and secretly urged him to go anti establish hi,=. claim. bour An.uncl Of Lon e of the prisone.?, who resid es i n the neigh hood don, and holds a situatio n i n the dock-yard at Woolwich was in . attendance at the Home-office on Th ursday during the inquiry. Thie gentleman, v,-no` is a respectable man, informed the MaKiLtrate that the prisoner unfortunately was not tte only one of his family who was suffering under an aberration of intellect. He had a sister who was. insane; that the prisoner was an agricultural labourer, but for a length of time had entertained the strange delusion that he was entitled to the peerage; that he was, in fact, Lord Godolphin D'Arcy. . When the prisoner was discovered in the Castle he was fast asleep on a couch in the footmen's waiting.. room; and when asked how he obtained admittanc,e, he said that he followed a " pot-boy," which st.ste• meet he repeated on Thursday. There was no further evidence adduced on Th.nrs,lay as to the facts attending the prisoner being round in. the Castle. The inquiry related solely as ttl ll;. 8 st a t e of mind. When he was asked if he did. 'not think that he was labouring subtler a delusion In thinking himself a lord, he replied, " No, certainly not ; 1 ant a lord." H e was then. asked if the 'medical ge ntle men told that lie was labour' under a delusion on tie "Subject, whether he would not believe them, and give up his claim to the title he supposed himself heir to? The prisoner replied that he would not give up his claim; the gentlemen did not know No much on the subject as he did—he was Lord Godql phin D'Arcy. After a lengthened examination, no doubt remainect but that he was insane, and the medical gentlemen, signed a certificate to that effect. He was then conveyed to 'fothill-fields prison, and an order was made out for his committal to Bet.:ftlem Hospital, and as soon as it received the signature of the Home Secretary, the prisoner was removeu to that place of confinement, there to remain during her Ma jesty's pleasure. HU DDERSFIE LD. (FROM A CORRESPONDSNT.) THURSDAY NOON.—The hubbub is over, and the.
