MANSION-ROUSE. Ellen Dobbin and Matilda were charged, before the Lord Mayor, with robbing Richard Howitt, of 15 sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO, a number of postage stamps,and several I 0 U's. City Police-constable, 559, said at 2 o'clock th's morning, after information of a robbery had been given at the sta tion-house, he was sent to search the neighbourhood in which the robbery was committed. In Church-row, Ald gate, he found the seven I 0 U's produced. They were lying about the street, and near a scaffolding in the same place he found the purse and some fragments of receipts. Richard Scripple Howitt, of 2, Denmark-place, Soho, said the purse and papers produced belonged to him. They were safe in his pocket at half-past 12 last night. In the purse there were 13 sovereigns, a bill of exchange for £lO, and several postage and receipt stamps. He met one of the women near Aldgate Church, and after some little hesita tion he entered into conversation with her, but feeling some suspicion he took his purse from his trowsers pocket and placed it in his left breast pocket. After the prisoner had bid him good night she ran suddenly away, and he felt for his purse and found it gone. There was a man standing near at the time. He told a police-constable of his loss, and in a short time after the prisoner was taken into cus tody in company with the other prisoner. When he first met the shorter of the two women the tall one was standing on the opposite side of the street. He was quite positive of that. Cross-examined by Mr. Beard.—He had been spending the evening with a friend at Old Ford. He was per fectly sober. He had never on any former occasion charged persons with robbing him. He never felt her take the purse out of his pocket, and his suspicions would never have been aroused had it not been for the prisoner running away. Previous to his meeting Dobbin he spoke to another woman, but his purse was safe in his possession after she quitted him. Police-constable 547 said, after he had received notice of the robbery he saw the two prisoners coming from the Minories. The prosecutor at once identified the women, but they denied all knowledge of the robbery. When he accused Smith of the robbery, she fumbled about her dress, and, on looking on the ground, he found the cigar -case (produced). It did not belong to the prosecutor. The Lord Mayor thought the evidence did not affect Smith, who was ordered to be discharged. Dobbin was fully committed for trial. The Attorney -General on International Law, On Wednesday Sir Roundell Palmer addressed the electors of Richmond, in the Town Hall. He touched on various topics, and especially on the relations of England to the American war. After alluding to the different opinions held in this country on the war ; and remarking that sympathy with the South was not incompatible with a friendly feeling towards the North, he came to the part which our Govern ment had taken in the matter. Our Government had felt itself bound, in the first place, to recognise facts, and, in the second place, to do nothing to ad vance them. We heard a great many people say, " The Government have recognised the South as belligerents" —that is, as Stales carrying on lawful war—" why not go o❑ and recognise their inde pendence ?" Now he said these who asked such a question were totally ignorant of the principle on which the Government did recognise the South as belligerents, and at the same time ignore their in dependence. There was no doubt that the Southern States were States exercising government for them selves and in themselves for the time being, and that they were carrying on war on their own and sole account. Our Government recognised these things as facts established, but be it remembered that they recognised the South as belligerents in so far only that they had no control over the events that had led the South to assume that position, and the Government were shaping their conduct in the best manner they could according to the laws of their own country and according to the laws of nations. They gave them no privileges as such, they wished to God they were not belligerents, but being so, they did not refuse to take notice of the fact. The Ame ricans themselves, the Northerners, who complained sometimes that we had given the South a premature recognition as belligerents, forgot that unless the South were belligerents, they could not have main tained the blockade against the South, nor against ships, guns, powder, awl. all that was known as the munition of war. Therefore, it was as necessary for their purposes, as for the purposes of the South, and above all for our purposes, that our position should be understood, and not be of an equivocal character. There was nothing more important than that we should regard the laws, rules, and regula tions of war as applicable between the parties and ourselves as a neutral nation taking no part in their quarrels. As to our recognising the independence of the South, we should ask ourselves, " Have they established finally their independence While there is this furious war raging, whilst battles are being fought from day to day, whilst we see one great city of the South, the city of New Orleans, in the pos sion of the Northerners, and Charleston every day threatening to fall into their hands, when no person can really predict either the duration or the result of the contest, to say that we are to recognise the independence of the South was to say " You must pronounce judgment beforehand," that we are really to take sides and not to wait and see whether these states can establish their independence or not—(ap plause)—without waiting for the event, we deter mine that they will and shall be, and consequently call them independent before they are. Those who demand we should do it, had we done it, would have gone on to say, " What is the use of us calling them independent unless you go on and make them so." (Cheers.) How, in what way should R e be better for that ? Should we get more cotton ? Should we break the blockade ? Would the dreadful carnage cease ? Giving them words was not what was wanted ; the wanted action ; they wanted to stop the war. If we gave recognition in words merely, without altering out conduct in other respects, we should be holding ourselves up to the scorn of Eu rope, doing very little real benefit to the Southerners, and at the same time giving just offence to the Northerners, against whom we should be pro-- nouncing a verdict prematurely. If the course of events should really establish their independence, if the hostile armies of the North be with drawn from their soil, if they should ever get into that situation which our American colonies found themselves in when they formed the United States, of course we should then recognise them. But we wanted the fact to be settled first. To recognise their indepen dence before that settled fact was to say we wished to bring about that which has not taken pace, and while pretending to be neutral we should be plainly demonstrating that we did not mean to be bound by the conditions of neutrality. The feeling which it was thought existed in this country towards the South was explainable in this way—it was the fashion of Englishmen to sympathise with the brave without troubling themselves very much about close inquiry into politics, especially when the brave were seen to be contending against great odds for liberty and independence. It might be recollected that there was a case in point a few years ago. The Go vernment of Hungary was in the hands of insurgents. In many great battles those insurgents prevailed over the armies of Austria amid almost the universal sympathies of Europe. It was not until another great power, violating the neutrality it had pre viously maintained, threw its sword into the scale, that the cause of Hungary was defeated. Did any body ask that we should recognise the independence of Hungary whilst the contest was raging ? What ever were our sympathies Hungary could not be independent until it acquired independence, which it never did. And yet, actually, while the contest was raging, the United States sent an ambassador over to Pesth with of f ers of recognition, and that ambassador had the mortification of finding himself just too late, Hungary in the meantime having be come entirely subjugatee. Was this a dignified situation for a great nation? Was that a situation in which England ought to place herself ? No, un questionably not; we must wait patiently, praying that the devoutly contest in America may soon terminate. And let who will abuse us, whatever pressure may be put upon us, we must be deter mined to do this, and nothing but this, which we believe our duty, applying the best and fairest test to the case—consider what we should like to be done to ourselves if we were in similar circumstances. (Hear.) Now, our Government had, up to this point, acted upon that principle. Our Government acted upon this principle when the question arose regarding the assertion of maritime rights, the rights of war by the vessels of the United States against the shipping of this country. We would not for a moment endure that they should invent new powers, that they should transgress the laws of nations, and violate the hospitality of England by attacking, upon the wide seas, our ships which happened to have on board persons supposed to be on an expedition hostile to the interests of the prepared, much a s N. The country it 7 prepared, to vindicate ore deplored the w h n o e l c e e its honour, and to go to war rather than tolerate such a proceeding. They were bound to obey ; and, when it had come to a qu es tion of submitting, on our part, to the established laws of war, ship after ship in attempting to run the blockade having been taken from us, and about which all sorts of stories war© told in the papers, though in m any cases th ere might be a real doubt about thejustice of theseizure, we had always said " We will bear for America what America bore for us under the same circum stances,—we must have this matter investigated by prize courts according to the laws of nations, and if these cou r t s d ec id e a gainst us, we must sub m it t o it, unless we can prove some gross and manifest injus tice done by them to us which we would not have practised ourselves." H e was bo un d to say in jus tice to the United States that our Government had not as yet been able to find any such gross or mani fest injustice. lie believed they had asserted the laws of war about as s trictly as we did, and not had therefore su b m itt e d i n more strictly, and we good faith. Some of the decisions might seem to us harsh, wh en co mpared with what was done in England with regard to the ships of neutrals when war was carried on by ourselves, and what we may he obliged to administer again if un happily war should occur again. It would be very surprising if the statesmen of America do not see we have acted in good faith and in honour towards them, for on their account, as well as for the sake of our own nation, Government had endured some obloquy from powerful and wealthy citizens who had an interest in carrying on Trade with the Southern States, and who endeavoured in many instances to carry it on with out for cne moment considering the trouble and anxiety they cause th e Government, or tlio peril in which they put the nation. He believed he might venture to state, however, that the Government would rather venture to endure the obloquy, or even relinquish office, than fritter away the nation's time and strength in an endeavour to put aside the blockade which unhappily causes so much serious inconvenience and loss to this country, inasmuch as by so doing we should be abrogating the very course we ourselves had adopted, when in the position of belligerents, and when to the uttermost we took advantage of those rights of war which some people would deny to the North. There was one other subject on which the conduct of our Government also deserved a remark. We know very well that it is perfectly lawful for the citizens of a neutral country to trade with both parties if they can. It is also lawful to sell anything which either party would take in the way of merchandise, powder, shot, guns, or any other things; and we had on both sides had customer 3, and sold a great many articles of that description. But there was, on the other hand, a limit to all that, and it was not con sistent with the duty of a neutral nation to supply the means of carrying on war as a Government to either party, or to promote warlike expeditions in its harbours, or send ships of war from its shores ; and in older to prevent such things from being done—which undoubtedly we should have reason to protest against if done to us, and which could hardly be carried on by any nation on a large scale pro fessing neutrality without involving it in war—we had got a law which may or may not be easy to con strue, but which certainly was intended to prevent these things. We all knew as a matter of fact that the Confederate States had endeavoured to make this country the basis of their maritime operations. Our Government in perfect good faith said this, „ We will not permit anything to be done which can be shown to be a violation of our own laws or of the laws of nations ; we cannot go beyond our laws or the laws of nations, but we will do all we can to prevent the evasion of either one or the other, not caring whether one party or the other benefits by it, not balancing the relative strength or trying to alter it, or permitting it to be altered, but s imply performing our obligations according to what is dictated by our own domestic legal enactments, a nd according to the received laws of nations." (Hear, hear.) The Americans had complained of the esc ape from this country of the well known Alabama, w hich, as we know, had committed great ravages upon their commerce, and of other ships, said also to have left Engla n d f or t h e same purpose. They spoke as though it was a very easy thing for the Government to prevent that sort of thing being done, whereas it was a most difficult thing ; and it was re markable that although their Government in former wars had not shown any want of will lo prevent the sam e thing occurring, he was not aware that they had ever succeeded i n preventing it in one single i ns tance, because, although several cases were brought into their c ourts of law of ships which had gone out of their harbour commissioned by other belligerent Powers, an d taken prizes ors the seas, y were taken notice of only because they had the boldness to come with their prizes into the ports out o f w hich they had in the first instance sailed. There fore, it would not be reasonable for them to hold our Government responsible for every evasion of our l aw s to their disadvantage. On the other hand, he hoped and believed that the people of the country at large would not be in c li ned to identify themselves in feelingwith those m erc h ants of ours, who seemed to think they were bound by no obligation to our laws a t all, and it was p er f ect l y fair for them, if they c h ose , to carry on a trade with a belligerent Power, w hile at the same time they knew that Government were anx ious for the sa k e of the nation to preserve astrict n eutrality. (H ear, hear.) He did not think that was the pert of pat r i ot i c E ngl i shmen, loyal to and havin g a true view of the interests of the perfectly conscious of the great difficulties of brin g i ng the laws to bear by their laws, country. Thou g h complete and conclusive evidence in cases of this w h e re every, a r tifi ce is used for the pur posedisguise and eva s i on, h e had every confi dencekind of that the people of this country would approve the Government in th e measures they had taken to make it clear and p l a i n that those proceed ings were perpetrated with out the will, connivance, or c onsent of those who are responsible for the go vernment of the country. (H ear. ) L et h i m, i n con clusion, re mind them of th e two great things which, by the cour se the forei gn policy our Government had hitherto pursued in this American war they secure—two thi ngs, wh i ch brought to hoped to blessings if they go together— peace and n d honour. They desi re d to maintain peace, but of inestimable of course only upon honourable terms. (Cheers.) He thought that those who had had the advantage under Lord Russell an d L ord Palmerston mos t momentous c r i s i s may look back with if not with prid e , upon the manner in which the fo rei g n affairs of this country had, on the whola, been administered. They had ever been for ward i n m aintaining the cause o f f ree d om through out the world , p referrin g satisfaction ,atf thservingis to do so not less by moral influence than by non-intervention, believing it possible to recognise peace at home with honour abroad, but that it was only possible to do so by a policy perfectly disinterested, perfectly self-deny ing,epiaght, str a i g h tforward, and ho n - They had no by-object, no en d or a i m of th e ir own to ser ve. All the y wished to do was their duty, and to p reserve the p ea ce of their country and hon ourable. ur the peace of th e world. If they could do this, and b p l e e r . perfectly do it with consistency and honour in these difficult times—it had been done hitherto, and he believed it could be done yet by persevering in the same course —he was sure we should owe a deep debt of grati tude, whether we acknowledged it or not, to the Government, and he believed this debt of gratitude was felt and acknowledged by the people at large. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE RESULT OF READING THE ADVENTURES OF CRIMINALS.—Henry John Wright, a respectable looking lad, in the employ of Mr. Haywood, jeweller, of Regent street, charged with robbing his employer, was brought before Mr. Knox for final examination. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Hayward, and was entrusted with rings and other articles of the value of about £2O to deliver at different places, but instead of doing this he absconded with the property. _ _ Mr. Rayner, of Thames:street, Windsor, pawnbroker, produced two rings, one of which the prisoner had pledged and the other sold at his shop. _ _ Mr. Harrison, of Aldersgate-street, pawnbroker, gave up a pair of earrings pledged by the prisoner. The prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Cole of the C division, who found in the prisoner's possession several numbers of the following books :—" Blueskin," " Black Bess, or the knight of the Road," "Colonel Jack or the Life of an Highwayman," "Black Wolf, or the Buy H ighwayman." Mr. Hayward asked that he prisoner might be dealt summarily with. Mr. Knox said it was a robbery at a jeweller's, and he could not do so. Committed for trial. ROBBERY AND REMORSE.—George Hall, a young man, formerly in the employ of Mr. Arthur Crocker, licensed victualler, of 31, New Compton-street, was charged with stealing £lO, belonging to his employer. From the evidence of Mr. Crocker it appeared that on the 26th September he entrusted the prisoner, who was then in his employ, with £lO in gold to get changed for silver. The prisoner absconded with the money, and he (Crocker) saw no more of him till yesterday evening, when he was in custody. John Cornell, 109 C, deposed that about six o'clock yes terday evening the prisoner came to the station and asked him if they had received any information of £lO having been stolen by a potman in New Compton -street. He asked the prisoner why he wanted to know, and showed him in to the inspector; and on the inspector asking the prisoner why he wanted to know, he said, " I am the man." Mr. Knox asked the constable whether anything was know of the prisoner? Cornell said he believed he had been cohvicted, Mr. Knox, the prisoner having no questions to ask, com mitted him for trial. THAMES. THE SMOKE NUISANCE.—Messrs. Thomas Rider Bald win, and Peter Bell, extensive sugar-refiners, and proprie tors of a large sugar house, were charged with using furnaces so constructed as not to burn or consume their own smoke. A gentleman from the firm attended to answer the summons, taken out by Mr. Howse, the superintendent of the K division, by order of the Home Secretary. With a few exceptions all the large sugar-refineries and manufac tories in the important district assigned to this court have smoke-consuming apparatuses in operation on their pre mises and attached to their furnaces, and the improvement in the public health, and the increased comfort of the in habitants is universally acknowledged. It is to be hoped the foreign and coasting steamers, which belch forth dense columns of black smoke while lying at the wharves, and in their progress up and down the river, will be provided with means for con suming the smoke from their ships. If that is done a great nuisance will be put down. The exemption in favour of steamers proceeding beyond the Nore light, while steam tugs and passenger steamers navigating on the river only are compelled to consume their smoke is simply ridiculous. In the case of Messrs. Baldwin and Bell, it was proved by Robert Smith, No. 253 K, that he watched the chimney shaft of the defendant's factory on the 24th of August last, and saw great quantities of black smoke issue from it. He stood opposite the clock of the parish church of St. George in• the-East in Lannon-street, Ratcliff-highway, and saw great volumes of black smoke issue flora the defendant's chimney shaft from 30 minutes past 11 to 35 minutes past 11, and also as follows :-11 40 to 11 46, 11 51 to 11 52, 11 55 to 11 59, from 12 6 to 12 10, 12 18 to 12 30. Mr. Partridge—Twelve minutes' continuous smoking ? Smith—Yes. sir. From 12 40 to 12 44, 12 46 to 12 49, 12 51 to 12 53, 12 55 to 12 57, 1 5 to 1 7, 1 13 to 1 19, 1 33 to 1 41, 1 50 to 1 55, from 2 to 4 minutes past 2, and there I finished. On the 27th I stood opposite the church again, and the chimney was sending forth smoke in a similar manner. The smoke was very blank. There was not suffi cient room for it to come out. Mr. William Sandison, engineer, made an inspection of the defendant's furnaces on the 2d of December last. There was a 15 horse-power steam engine an.l two single tube boilers. The furnaces were not so constructed as to con sume or burn their own smoke. Black smoke issued from the chimney for three minutes. lie had frequently seen the chimney smoking since that time. In cross-examination by Mr. Hope, the manager of the defendants' sugar refinery, the witness said he mentioned at the time of his visits, where a large number of appara tuses for the consumption of smoke were in use, but he was forbidden by the Government from recommending any par ticular invention. Mr. Hope called Mr. William Rendall Hodge, engineer, who said he was called upon in the beginning of last month to put up an apparatus for the consumption of smoke to the defendants' furnaces, and he believed they were quite effec tual ; one apparatus was fixed last Saturday week or fort night, the other on the previous week. Mr. Partridge—The evidence of Mr. Hodge is conclu sive.. There was no apparatus at all until Mr. Hodge was called in. The remedy should have been applied earlier. This is not a case for the full penalty. I fine the defendants 40s. only. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) The market opened with a much firmer feeling than yesterday.

The following is the text, acco r di ng to the _lrani teur, of the Act by which the Prince of Wales has renounced for himself and his heirs the succession to the throne ot the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha. This Act has just been communicated to the Diet of the two Duchies : Pre Royal of G reat B r i ta i n and having a c k now l e d ge d t h e IreWlanedA, a te . t m E a d k w e akruclo, known i t n h e a t adhesion given by our father, dead in the Lord, to the law of March 1, 1855, as to the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, and the fundamental law &creed by it, May 3, 1855, for the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha, we have seen that the desire of our father was that his posterity should completely re nounce the right of succession to the throne ot the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha. In consequence we have the intention of realising this paternal wish, which hitherto has not been in our power because of our minority ; we wish to realise it in as complete a manner as possible, and by that add, ac cording to our power, to the prosperity of the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as that of the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha, w hile giving to our brothers an evidence of our fraternal love. We renounce, then, for us and our heirs, all right what ever of succession to the throne of the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha and the provinces belonging to them, in favour of our well-beloved brothers, the Princes Alfred Ernest Albert, Arthur William Patrick Albert, and Leopold George Duncan Albert, and their malo successors ; and we desire that this right of succession to the throne of the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha, and the provinces belonging to them, pass to our well-beloved brothers and their male successors. In the case, nevertheless, of our brothers and their male line becoming extinct before us and our male branch, this reserve to ourselves, for us and our male successors, right of succession to the thrc ne of the Duchies of Coburg and Gotha and the provinces belonging to them, conforma bly to the dispositions of the sa:d law o f March 1, 1855, and be Act of and that of May 3, 1855.

Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, A general meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middlesex was held yesterday at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green—Mr. H. Pownall, chairman of the court, presided. COUNTY RATE AND LUNATIC ASYLUMS' RATE. A report was brought up from the Committee on the County Treasurer's Accounts, recommending the making of an ordinary county rate of id. in the pound, and a rate under the Lunatic Asylums Act, 1853, 'of id. in the pound, on tbe county rental of £9,160,020. The recommendations of the committee were agreed to, and the county rate will produce £28,625 is. 3d., and the lunatic asylums' rate £19,083 7s. 6d,, making a total of £17,708 Bs. 9d. COMMITTEE OP ACCOUNTS AND GENERAL PURPOSES. The report of the Committee of Accounts and General Purposes was presented, which recommended the paym en t of bills and accounts to the amount of £16,552 lle. Bd. The report was received and adopted. HOUSE OF CORRECTION, COLDIATH -FIELDS. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correc tion was presented, which stated that the number of pri soners that day in custody was-1,593 in Coldbath-fields, of whom 517 wore misdemeanants,and there were 153 prisoners belonging to this county at Bedford, Northampton, and Taunton, under contract with this county for their main tenance. There had been five cases of flogging in the pri son since the last report, the punishment varying from 12 to 36 lashes. The prisoners who underwent the punish ment having been repeatedly guilty of insubordinate con duct. The other matters of the report were of the usual nature, and the recommendations it contained were adopted. HOUSE OF CORRECTION, WESTMINSTER. The report of the committee of visiting justices of this prison was presented, which stated that there were 730 prisoners in custody, consisting of 677 felons and misde meanants, and 53 vagrants. Since the date of the last re port, the 15th of August, the health of the prisoners had been good, and there had been two deaths from consumption. The report was received and adopted. HOUSE OF DETENTION, CLERKENWELL. The report of the visiting justices of this prison was pre sented. The number of prisoners in custody was 730, mak ing a total of county prisoners of 2,649. The report said that Henry Richardson, a prisoner confined for want of bail, having become insane, was removed to the County Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch, on the 10th of Sept., where he died on the 18th of that month. An inquest was held on his body, and the visiting juetices were informed that the coro ner's jury returned a verdict that " The deceased died from natural causes, accelerated by undue severity, in the House of Detention." The governor having informed the visiting justices of this verdict, they forthwith entered upon a full inquiry into the treatment and condition of the prisoner while in confinement in this prison, and after consideration of all the circumstances they have come to the conclusion that the latter part of the verdict of the coroner's jury is quite undeserved, and they regret that the jury did not ascer tain with more care the treatment of the deceased in the pri son. It appears that the deceased was for some time past a man of violent and ungovernable temper, and had been at tacked with delirium tremens, the effects of drunkenness. He had been confined at the House of Correction, Coldbath fields, for assaulting his wife, and had also been previously committed to this prison in default of finding sureties for keeping the peace towards her. After some consideration he was not deemed insane either by the justices who ex amined him, or by the physician who was called in to his aid. On the last occasion of Richardson's imprisonment he was committed on the 20th April last, for assaulting Emily Wilson and threatening her life, and in default of finding bail to keep the peace towards her for six months. A few weeks after his commitment, the state of Richardson's mind came under the consideration of the visiting justices, who passed a resolution, instructing the surgeon of the prison to examine him and report therein. After a careful considera tion of his case the surgeon certified that he was not insane, and was in a fit state to be amenable to the discipline of the prison. Under these circumstances the governor, on diffe rent occasions, when his violent and refractory conduct re quired, ordered him to be punished in strict accordance with the rules of the prison, by close confinement in a cell, for periods varying from 12 to 48 hours, and in some cases with bread and water diet. In consequence of his quarrelsome conduct, and his assaulting other prisoners and two of the officers, he was eventually removed from the bail division to another division ; but this removal only involved the depti vation of taking associated exercise with the other bail pri soners for three hours each day, and is a deprivation often imposed on bail prisoners who are guilty of riotous or re fractory conduct. During the period of Richardson's impri sonment he frequently came before the visiting justices at his own request to complain, not of his treatment in the prison but of his relatives towards him. On these occasions his behaviour was that of a man of sound mind, but whose temper was excitable, and he save way to violent outbreaks, which he seemed soon to regret, and for which he had often expressed his sorrow not only to the visiting justices but to the governor. At length at the end of August, the opinion of the surgeon as to the state of the prisoner's mind was changed, and at the beginning of September he was duly certified to the Secretary of State as insane, and was by his order removed to Colney Hatch Asylum. Mr. H. F. FRANCE, the chairman of the visiting justices, moved the reception of the report. Mr. H. HARWOOD said he wished personally to state to the Court, in reference to the man Richardson, and who was referred to in it, that the governor of the prison was not in the slightest degree mixed up with the circumstances. In consequence of what had taken place as regarded the gover nor, he (Mr. Harwood) felt it was but justice to him to rise in his place, and say that his treatment to this prisoner had been more than ordinarily kind and indulgent. Mr. TANNER corroborated this statement. This was a most irritable man, and he knew the governor of the prison had exercised a large amount of forbearance. Mr. WYATT said he thought the public would hardly un derstand how the matter stood without some explanation. The prisoner was originally a bail prisoner, but in default was sent to the House of Correction for threatening some members of his family. He would not submit to the rules of the prison, and was afterwards sent to the House of Deten tion. There his conduct was such that they called in Dr. Smiles, the surgeon of the prison, to make his report as to whether the man was sane. He accordingly reported that he had no doubt that he was sane, and that he wai therefore amenable to the prison rules. The visiting justices had the man before them, and remonstrated with him, advising him to comply with the rules, but he must not be permitted to knock down officers and tear up his clothes with impunity, and that he must submit to the rules. Early in September he was certified to be insane, and died nine days after he was sent to Colney Hatch Asylum. Even the surgeon to Colney Hatch Asylum said the verdict of th e jury w_a! all nonsense, as under any circumstances th e man could not have lived more than a few weeks. He (M r. Wyatt) called upon the relatives of the man, asking there to bail him out, which could have been done by enteri n g into sureties in the small sum of £lO, but they refuse d to do so, and he i could state, from what he knew of the c ase, that instead of being ill-treated he was treated with more than ordinary care. Mr. KEMSHEAD said it appeared to him that there was great discrepancy between the opinion of the surgeon of the House of Detention and the surgeon of Colneyt . H atch some e xplanation about i The Asylum, and he requir ed surgeon of the prison reported the man to be perfectly sane, and the Colney Hatch surg eon said he wa s insane, and ought to have been sent to the asylum long before. He also said :that he believed the man had been insane far six months. Even after the man was declared to be insane, on the surgeon of the House of Detention being asked to c e rtify that he was so, a delay took place. He wanted to know what time had elapsed from the time of the certificate being granted from the Home Office and the removal of the ma n to Colney Hatch As y l um. Mr. WYATT said that it was after Dr. Smiles had certi fied that he was insane that he had his first epileptic fit, which very much altered his appearance. Dr, Shepherd f oun d that the man was insane, but he was assisted in coming to that conclusion by the post-mortem examination, which Dr. Smiles did not have. As to the delay that oc curred between the granting of the certificate from the Home Office for the removal and the certificate of the surgeon of the prison that he was insane, that arose from the fact of Sir George Grey being out of town. The subject then dropped, and the report was agreed to. Mr. H. W. WYATT moved, pursuant to notice, " That a superannuation allowance, commencing from the 23d of m a y, 1863, of £6l Ils. 6d. per annum, be granted to Thos. Clark, late a warder in the Hous e o f D etention, who has resigned his situation in consequence of infirmity, whereby he has been rendered incap a bl e of executing the duties of his office in person, after upwards of 29 years' service as an officer in the c ounty prisons. " In support of this m otion, he said th a t d ur i ng the 29 years Mr. Clark had been in the service o f th e county there had never been a single complaint against him. The motion was put and unanimously agreed to. THE MILITIA STOREHOUSES 07 THE COUNTY. Mr. H. M. KEMSHEAD moved, "That the surveyor of county bridges be ordered annually to inspect the several militia storehouses as soon as possible after each training, and report in wi iting to the Cuurt the result of such inspec tion, and what repairs are necessary." The motion was put and agreed to. Mr. KEMSHEAD also moved, " That a special committee be appointed ifor the purpose of superintending and inspect ing the militia storehouses of the county, and that th e power now vested in the committee for accounts and for general purposes, by order of the Court of the 12th Ap, r o i 1855, of ordering repairs to any storehouse to the exteaD in £5O, be transferred to and vested in such committee future." to. The motion was put and unanimously as.— -- -- -- -- DEPTH OF EARTHQUKEB.—Mr. Mallet ascer tained that the great Neapolitan earthquake of 1857, unequalled in intensity by any since that of 1783, had its the . range of posei.. originating focus situated at nog reater average depth than 51 geographical miles, or 54,920 feet; bility varying from a maximum of Si miles, or 49,359 feet to a minimum of 2 mites, or 16,700 feet.

SUN OFFICE, PIALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPAI N. A Madrid letter has the t allowing :—The Budget of the army and navy preset is this year an increase of 80,000,000 reals (20,000,,000fr.)

From a contradiction only to be explained by the fickle nature of men, Ulf) inhabitants of Santo Domingo appear now to revolt against Spain with an energy equal to the eagerness which they formerly manifested in re-establishing her rule. To brin g th em back to their primitive enthusiasm, it is evident that the outlay of a very considerable number of reals will be necessary. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.
