. • NEtANCHGLY CATASTROPHE AT MANCHESTER. „ 71 On Saturday-morning a most calamitous circum stance occurred on the tiveOrwell, near the place, where; two years 'since; abofit thirty persons were drowned, at the launch of a flat from the wharf at the Old 'Quay in. Water-street. A considerable number of masons and labourers are at present em ployed by the Manchester and” Liverpool Rail-road Company, constructing arches across Water-street, and a bridge over the which is to connect the rail-road on the two sides of the river. Many of the men lodged on the Salford side, and were in the habit of being ferried over to their meals, as well as at night after having finished their work. The boat in which they crossed was a small one, generally guided by a single ore at the stern, and had to make several trips, in order to convey the whole of the hands across. Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, a number of the men expressed rather more anxiety than usual to go with the first trip. It had rained fast all the morning, and there was a strong wind; the river was.also considerably swollen, and the ra pidity of the stream was much increased. Notwith standing these circumstances, twenty men crowded into the boat, air'. she was fearlessly and heedlessly pushed from shore, with her gunwale nearly down to the water. For some minutes she went steadily, the men standing up; but shortly, from improper ma nagement, her side came upon the stream, and she heeled considerably to the larboard. Some of the men were instantly displaced, and three of them, stepping on her side, leaped into the water ; others then rushed to the same place, when she instantly upset, and the whole were precipitated into the deep and rapid stream. Two. swam ashore ; and through the prompt assistance rendered by the crews of several flats, which were lying in the river, and the hands at the quays and dye-houses, six others were rescued, io a state of greater or less exhaustion; but the remaining twelve were carried down by the current and perished. Their cries at intervals are re presented as truly heart-rending. Half-an-hour elapsed before the first body was recovered, and it was not until the expiration of two hours that the eleventh was dragged ashore. 'I he names of the sufferers are as follow : John Winstanly, sen., about 50 years of age, leaving a wife and four children ; John Winstanly, jun., about 21. Both from Newton, near Manchester. John Wilson, a single man. Jere9tiali Andersen, about 25, from the neighbourhood of Purl jlll. Ralph C 'welt, same age, a wife and one child. Jari.es Dooly; abciut 22, single man. James Baron, 35, wife and one child, from Kincardine_. shit e. Donald M'Donald, Murrayshire; and his brother was in the boat, hut escaped. Alex. Finlay, Murrayshire. Wm. Howard, Durham, married. The bodies are now lying at Mr. Baby's, a public house, in the Liverpool road. One has not yet been recovered. The melancholy event has caused a great sensation in the town, and it has been proposed that the bodies should be interred by means of a sub scription. An inquest will probably be held on Monday. THE EXPEDITION TO ALGIERS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MARSEILLES, DATED APRIL 14. Here, as at Lyons, whence I wrote to you las the expedition is the general topic of conversation ; with this difference, that at Lyons it is unanimously blamed, whereas at Marseilles it is universally ap proved. This is not to -be wondered at when we contemplate the different interests of the two cities; the commerce of the latter only will be increased by this important event. It is true that this mode of viewing matters savours of egotism; but such is the way of the world, and we must take it as we find it. There is no chance of the arrival of the Dauphin, an event announced as certain in all the newspa pers. The presence of the Prince might, indeed, have a salutary effect on the army, but this ad vantage - would not counterbalance the ineonveni• ences resulting from even a temporary suspension in the preparations for the war, which must take place under such circumstances. The Admiral has himself made trial of three steam-packets offered by the American Consul at Havre; they might be fit for the navigation of the Rhone, but they appear of too weak a structure for sea; moreover, the price required for each is 300,000 francs, which is far beyond the sum which it would be prudent to bestow on such ves sels. It has, therefore, been determined not to pur chase them. Intelligence from Africa announces the perfect security of the Dey and his Divan. We are in• formed that he scarcely condescends to make prepa tions for defence. In vain do officious persons—for such are to be found in every clime—endeavour to make him sensible of the imminence of his peril. He is told of the magnitude of the preparations making against him ; that they are on a larger scale than even those made by Bonaparte for the Egypt:an campaign. To this lie answers, " God is great, and the sea is dangerous." On the other hand it is known that the populace subjected to the yoke of this barbarian hail with joy the approaching arrival of our fleet. If the inhabitants of Algiers, placed im mediately under his grasp, dread the effects of his rage, those who live extra mums may escape his fury by quitting their nomads dwellings, and thus laugh at the impoten ce of his threats. No doubt can exist that as soon as the expeditionary army shall have surrounded the place, there will be a general insurrection among the Moors in our favour. The most minute precautions are taken on every point connected with the expedition. The only fault that could be found on this subject would be the excess of precaution, if such indeed could ever become a matter of reproach. The greatest difficulty exists in procuring sufficient supplies of forage. Provence affords few resources in this respect. The piice of hay rims daily. The boatmen of the Rhone will profit by this impulse given to the trade in the conveyance of forage to Toulon and Marseilles. The .enthusiasm of the troop/ is wound up to the highest pitch ; but on this ,übject I must not enlarge, lest I should be merely reneatieg what issues from every tongue.—London Express and Paris Advertiser. The " Carnatic Commissioners" (BENJAMIN 1 HOBHOUSE, THOMAS COCKBURN, and ROBERT HARRY IHOLIs) have at last closed their labou r s , with their 2fith ' Report, just printed ; and they finish their Report with observing—" In closing an inquiry, necessarily often protracted by circumstances not within thtir controul, and which must always attend intricate and extensive investi gations into subjects remote in time and in place, and in the greater proportion involving the interests of natives of India, they have reason to believe that the patient investi gation, the last results of which they now communicate, has not deprived any one claimant of his least right under those terms of inquiry to which, by signing the deed of covenants, he bad himself agreed ; while, As to some of the eases rejected, it has defeated the most iniquitous com binations of fraud which were ever submitted to a Itgal tribunal." MOST MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--A me iauth,,i, accident occurred on Tuesday morning on the river, which was attended with the most fatal results, The John Reyes, belonging to ROBERT GLADSTONE , E s q ., just arrived from the East Indies, was lying abreast of Wallasea Pool. A two-masted river gig, on board of which were eight individuals, departed from the pier-head about ten o'clock in the forenoon, for the letter-bags. There was a strong gale from the northward at the time, but the boat, however, was skilfully steered, and brought alongside the ship, which was then much under the influ ence of the roll of the sea; the jigger -mast of the boat un fortunately came in contact with the lower part of the ship's chains, and was instantly swamped. T wo o f th e crew clung to the vessel's side, and were happily sav ed from a watery grave , the othe r s l e ss ha ppy sunk. One of them, after remaining in the water about forty minutes, and drifting a considerable way down the river, was picked up by the Alice steamer, of Seacombe, and notwithstand ing the promptest remedies were afforded, has since died. Three of the bodies have since been found, but the other two are still missiug.—LiverpoolJourna/. DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS 63.n1c Ytock 216 1514 1 per Cent.

(Signed) " HENRY lIALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received. The chief burden of their contents is the Expedition against Algiers—a subject to which the anxiety of France and the curiosity of Europe are now directed with in creasing interest. The followii=7, are extracts : MINISTERIAL TACTICS. PARIS, APRIL 24.—1 t is currently reported in Pro vence that the dismissal of M. Fumeron d'Ardueil was oc- casioned by a pun. At a meeting of the Council of Re vision, bald the evening before his departure for Paris, some difference of opinion prevailed respecting the sense of an article on the Recruiting Law. M. Fumeron d'Ar- dueil declared that the precise wording of a law could not give way to a Ministerial circular. " The circular," ob served one of the Members, " ought to have its weight ; but to what extent is the point we have to determine." "If you wish," said the Prefect, " to ascertaia the weight of a Ministerial circular apply to the Director 01 Post-office." A meeting of several Deputies belonging to the Minis terial party, took place yesterday at the Hotel of the Home Department. It is said that M. Mestadier, leading Mem ber of that body, was absent, which circumstance is re ported to have greatly disappointed the Ministers. Several other similar meetings have taken place at the hotels of other Ministers, for the purpose of considering whether it would be advisable t 9 dissolve the present Chamber of Deputies. The Gazette des Tribunaux of this day contains the particulars of an action brought against M. Aguado, (banker of the King of Spain), Jaques Lafitte, Messrs. Ardouin, Hubbard — and CO., and M. William Wilfind., jun., of Amsterdam, at the suit of M. Maurice Haber, merchant, proprietor of certain bonds of the Spanish Go vernment, forming part of the loan contracted in Holland through the medium of Messrs. Cope and Co., and Echi nique mad Co., amounting t0:5,506,500 florins, and which bonds had been deposited with Messrs. Jaques Latitte, and Ardouin, Hubbard and Co., at two distinct periods, viz. on the 9th of September, 1822, and on the 13th of February, 1823. The cause will conic on for hearing in the course of a week, before the Civil Court of Paris, and will excite considerable interest. PORTUGAL. The Quotidienne of this day asserts, that an agent of Dan Miguel is now in Holland, empowered to raise a loan for his master, and to contract for a considerable supply of aims and milit try stores. It would appear that this extraordinary mission has not been successful ; for the same paper remarks that the Dutch were once before made dupes of by a Turkish agent, who came to offer in the same manner, an order for the supply of a large quantity arms on account of Turkey; and that the Dutch, who had executed this order, bad been long waiting, and indeed still wait, for payment. It is true (says the Quotidienne) that there is a great difference between a Turk and Don Miguel; but, unfortunately, the similarity of their demands renders it probable that the iequut of Don Miguel will meet tLe same fate with that of Alahoinet. ALGIERS. The Gazette de France states, that as soon as the ex pedition shall have arrived in sight of the African shore, the first step taken will be to disembark the men. Eve!) , foot soldier will be provided with thirty cartridges. The spades, shovels, pickaxes, and other tools will next be put on shore, in order that the men may be able to entrench themselves immediately, if that should be, necessary. The field batteties will follow, and should the season prove favourable, it is impossible that the army be not in pos session of the town and citadel within a fortnight after the disembarkation. A letter from Vienna, of the 13:h inst., announces the arrival on that day of a courier from Constantinople with important despatches. They are reported to contain the answer of the Sultan to the Protocol of London, relative to the affairs of Greece. It is expected that an interview will take place between the Emperors of Austria and Russia, at Warsaw, after the doge of the Diet. Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, having learnt that Colonel Bory de St. Vincent was one of those persons who had lately visited Greece, and obtained useful information, expressed a wish to see this learned officer, who yesterday waited on his Royal Highness, and stayed with him two hours, The Colonel, like M. Eynard, is one of the most ardent, and, at the same time, one of the most disinterested friends of the Greeks. From the Journal de la Belgique, which brings the ac count of the Brus , ela trials up to the middle of Thursday, it appears that the Com t had been occupied nearly the whole of the time, since our last notice, in hearing the arguments of M. Gendebien on behalf of M. Potter. The Dauphin will leave Paris to-morrow for Fontain bleat], where he will pass the night, thence his Royal High ness will set out early in the next morning for Toulon. The Marquis Maximilian de l'Aftbespine died on the 17th instant at the age of 84 years. He was lineally descended from the celebrated Sully, Minister of Henry IV. Yesterday the water of the Seine had fallen nearly one foot. The Journal du Havre a nnounces, after accounts from Guadaloupe, that on the Ist of January a fire broke out at the barracks of Fort St. Charles. The wind being very high the whole edifice was soon destroyed, notwithstand ing the activity and ardour displayed by the troops in their efforts to subdue the raging element. It is suspected that the building was wilfully set on fire. PARIS, APRIL 24.—Intelligence has been received in Paris of the internal state of Algiers, up to the 44th inst. The population are in the highest degree of fermentation, and the Day is exposed to the greatest dangers; the Alge rines are willing to make every sacrifice to avoid a bom bardment. They talk openly of giving all the satisfaction demanded by France. The Grandees are ready to make every concession to the Commander-in-Chief of the army, to promise to restore all the French property that has been seized, and engage not to visit any vessels belonging to nations under the protection of France. It is said that the Dey will offer to pay an indemnity for the expenses of the armament. It appears certain that the measure adopted by the King of Spain relative to the Salk Law ava.snot only concealed from the King of Naples, hut also from the Infant Don Carlos. The Count de Saint Priest had not heard any thing of the project till the evening before its publication ; and on the very day after he had despatched a courier to announce to the French Government that tumours of such a step was afloat, the abolition of the S Ilk Law was proclaimed in the streets of Madrid. Nothing then was left for th e A r rhassadors of the Kings and Princes of the House of B e sot s but to deliver their protests, •which they l os t n , ": in doing. PARIS, L rRIL 23.—The Aviv) of Toulon contains the.followilag :—" The Dey has determined upon offering the most resolute resistance to the French. Several batte ries have been stationed upon the beach to the west of Algiers, where it is expected that the troops will disembark. Another battery of 40 pieces of cannon in a triple row, has been raised on the east of Algiers, upon the beach, and opposite to the Fisherman's-gate. It was before this point that Lord Exmouth's ship was laid with her broad side, in 1816 ; but at that time it was defended by only 15 guns, and those but of small calibre. Since that pe riod they have planted many 48-pounders on the mole, by the town side, which defend the entrance into the harbour. This battery is distant from that of the Fisherman's-gate ~nly 100 yards. There are in the port 80 gun-boats, which are said to be well armed, but under unskilful com manders, and badly served. The Dey never quits the for tress, and has constructed new fortifications in addition to th, se which already defend his retreat. From this it ap pears that he thinks it necessary to prepare against a popu lar insurrection, an occurrence by no ►aeans rare in that country. If we may credit reports, many conspiracies have already been formed against hislife, and some even say that he has been beheaded. These reports have, within these few last days, been repeated at Toulon, and our cof fee-house politicians assert, that the brig Adventure has brought a positive confirmation of the news. We have received several letters from that station, by the same ship, but find nothing that confirms these rumours." The preparations fur the expedition will have been com pleted in two months. All the coast where the army is to land has been sounded. In thirty-two hours 32,000 men will he landed, and twelve days will be sufficient to disembark all the materiel of the army, and all the heavy artillery. The banners of France will he unfurled again wheie the greatest of our Kings died. The Moorish coast will see us again with that warlike ardour, the indelible characteristic of our nation. A barbarian will perceive whether he can insult the representative of our King with impunity. Already he sees the blockade daily reinforced, eighty King's ships and a prodigious quantity of vessels wait for the French army in the French and Spanish ports. If the treasures of the Dey do not fall into our hands, the 1,500 cannon which defend Algiers will be sufficient for an indemnity of the expences of the war and blockade. Our honour revenged,—piracy destroyed in the Me titer• ranean,—what more honourable prospect can be held out to French soldiers 7 Gazette de Frahce. The following intelligence from Madrid is of the 12th instant :—" Fresh despatches have been received from the Count d'Espana, still more al arming than the former. lie stat's that a conspiracy is completely organized, and that lie has scarcely any hopes that it will be put down even with all the efforts of the Government combined." The following intelligence from Trieste is of the 10th inst. :—" We learn by two vessels that arrived here yes terdzt• from Alexandria in 30 days, that an English steamer reached that port on the 9th ult. from Corfu, with despatches for the English Consul, who immediately proceeded to Cairo. It is supposed that he had orders to inform the Pacha of the displeasure which the British Go vernment feel at his co-operation in the war against Algiers. The same day the whole of the Egyptian squa dron set sail for an unknown destination." _ . The following is an extract of a private letter of the 15th inst. from Berlin :—" The prompt return of the Emperor Nicholas to St. Petersburgh has excited great surprise, and 1-d to numberless conjectures.— His absence having been only nine days, although it was announced as likely to be much longer, it is sup posed that some unexpected occurrence compelled him to change his plan. Hence it is reported that the Em peror's presence at St. Petersburgh had become necessary from a discovery of a very important nature, which will lead to the recall of the Ambassador of a great Power from the Court of Russia. It is, however, stated as a positive fact, that since the return of the Emperor, ex traordinary activity has prevailed in the Cabinet and at the office of Count Nesselrode, who daily despatches mes sengers to the south, and particularly to Italy. From this circumstance it is inferred that the negociations con cerning the affairs of Turkey, Greece, or even the African expedition, are not terminated ; or rather, that these affairs have given rise to serious questions, which will lead to further negotiations between the great Courts of Europe. Letters from St. Petersburgh also mention a levy of sailors as about to take place." " By letters from Porto, we learn that a corps of from 500 to 600 individuals exists in the province of Douro, under the name offacho da legitimidade, and is making preparations to raise the standard in these countries when ever a corps of liberators shall have appeared on the wes tern coasts of Portugal. Notwithstanding the efforts of the police to arrest the members of this formidable associa tion, their cautious mode of proceeding has kept them be yond the reach of pursuit."—Journal des Debats. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 20th inst., contains the following intelligence : " CONsrAIaTINOPLE, MARCH 26.—Whilst the inhabi tants of this capital are rejoicing on account of the festi val of the Bairam, the Divan is daily occupied in discuss• ing the late Protocol signed in London, and the Greek question. There is no doubt, however, that the Porte will be compelled to acknowledge the independence of Greece ; but such a resolution will be preceded by long debates and fatiguing adjournments. It is rumoured that the Reis Effendi, being asked if he was acquainted with the result of the mission of Halil Paella, and whether he would communicate the same to the Ambassadors of the three mediating powers, and give a definite answer in a fixed time, the Reis-Effendi answered, that he anxiously expected a report of the result of Halil Pacha's mission ; when the Ottoman Porte would, very probably, come to a decision which would be in conformity with that of the Russian Cabinet. " The French expedition against Algiers has created much uneasiness in the Divan, as its success would pro bably be attended with the effect of greatly diminishing the revenue of the Porte, and of depriving it of assistance from the Algerine and Tunisian navy, in case of need ; despatches from the Turkish agent sent to Algiers are there fore looked for with intense anxiety. The Turks are of opinion, that the Dey will not make any concessions to France, but will defend himself to the last extremity; the Franks, on the contrary, think that England is interested in effecting a reconciliation before hostilities shall really have commenced. " The exile of the former Grand Vizier, Mehemet Salim Paella, to the Monastery of Macedonia, has created much sensation. " Letters from Ancona, of the 7th inst., state that the Rimariotes and Niviziotes have risen in arms, and taken possession of the Forty Saints,' in defiance of the Go vernor, who is son of Mustapha Pacha."

Among the sub jects yet remaining for discussion,—which , though not of first-rate interest like the Catholic Question, or the National Distress, is yet of very considerable moment to large masses of the community—is the Stamp Duties, the whole of which subject requires the most rigorous consideration. The schedule which we have seen bears sovidence of such a grasping spirit as cannot fail to ensure its strict and speedy revision.

My troops, as well as the native auxiliaries, are come hack. The garrison is organized, and tranquillity and peace reign in all this territory." BRUSSELS, APRIL 23. His Excellency the Minister of Brazil to the Court of Russia passed through the city yesterday evening ; be comes from Rio de Janeiro, and has taken the road to Hol►and, to embark with his suite for St. Petersburgh. The Brussels Papers of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, are almost wholly filled with the conclusion of the trial of Messrs de Potter, &c. In the Gazette des Pays Bas they occupy no less than 26 folio columns. The Belge and the Courier des Pays Bas (which espouse the cause of the accused) are almost equally circumstantial. The Counsel for the accused began the defence on the 21st, which was continued on the 22d and 23d. It is expected that the pleadings will not be concluded before Thursday or Friday next, the 29th and 30th April. BERLIN, 'APRIL 18.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 24.—Mr. O'Connell arrived here by the Dolphin steamer, lie was accompanied by Mrs. O'Connell and one of his daughters, when they proceeded in a coach and four towards London. The imports this week are ver) extensive, reaching 39,162 bags of Cotton, and the sales are only 4,550 bags, being the smallest number sold in any week during 1829 and 1830 ; the falling off is ascribed to the dangerous state of the King's health; the decline in rrice is generally one eighth of a Fenny per pound. British Plantation Sugar has been in good demand this week, and 700 hhds. have been disposed of at steady prices. Singapore Papers to the 13th Dec. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house; they do not contain any information of consequence ; from the Price Current it appears that about 50 plates of Swedish steel have been sold at 131 dollars per picul. In tin some extensive lots have changed hands at 16i dollars per picul. About 1 ,200 plates of iron have been sold at four dollars per picul. About 50 pipes of brandy have been sold.

At the Pembrokeshire Great Sessions, in the case of ANNE GRIFFITHS, spinster, V. THOMAS WIL. trams, the plaintiff charged the defendant, who is, or was, a Dissenting Minister of the Presbyterian denomination, residing at Pembroke Dock, with a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant wrote some highly amusing love-letters to the plaintiff on the occasion, in one of which he talked of Providence making " the wheels of Nature turn from the epoch of creation until the present day." The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ANDERDON V. BURROWS. This trial, which is an action brought against Dr. Burrows, to recover compensation in damages for an as• sault and false imprisonment, having been specially ap• pointtd for this morning, the Court at an early hour was crowded with gentlemen of the medical profession. On the Bench were Lord Granville Somerset, and several other person. of distinction. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. ADOLPGUi, and Mr. PLATT, were Counsel for the plain tiff; and Mr. DENmAn, the Hon. C. Law, and Mr. ALDERSON, for the defendant. Mr. PLATT having opened the pleadings, The AT f ORNEY- GENERAL, at considerable length, stated the case to the Jury. He trusted they would tlns day compensate the plaintiff for being dragged from his home as a supposed madman—for it was a great chance that he had not been shut up in an asylum and never more heard of. Gentleman in the profession of the defendant must be taught they could not on slight grounds sport with the liberty of the subject. The Learned Counsel, aster' detailing the facts of the case, called the following evidence : John MEdcalf examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—I am a carpenter. I know Mr. Anderdon, he lived in York -street, Lambeth. On the Ist of Nov. I was passing with a friend Mr. Anderdon 's house. T!.e gas was lighted, and I could . _ see his person, he was just outside the door. Two men were with him, Mr. Anderdon was between them. I be lieve both the men had hold of him. Mr. Anderdon knew me and my friend, and said to us " Gentlemen, I claim your assistance, these two men have enticed me out of the house, and now want to carry me away." We asked the men what authority they had for so acting. They replied they had authority. I asked them what authority; and they said, from Dr. Burrows, and produced a piece of paper. We went up to the gas-light to read it. Mr. Anderdon wished us to take notice of the two men, so that we should know them again. I read the paper ' • I remember the content. of the paper ; it was, " By order of Mr. Oliver, take Mr. Freeman Anderdon, and confine him as a lunatic. " Montague-street. G. A. BURROWS." After reading the paper, I told the men that their con duct was very strange. They said, they wished to use Mr. Anderdon as a gentleman, and they would go with him to his own house, or ti an hotel ; this was addressed to Mr. A., but he refused to stir from the place in which he was then standing; they thea tried to pull him away ; he resisted. One of the men had a bag, and he told Mr. A. if he was not quiet he would make him so, as he had implements in his bag for that purpose. Mr. Anderdon called out fur a watchman, who came up and took the whole party to a constable. I then went away. Cross-exa.,lined by Mr. DENMAN.-Mr. Anderdon struggled hard to get away. In the struggle one of the men fell on the ground. I had known Mr. Anderdon for some time—his appearance certainly was a little eccentric; never saw such a dress as he used to wear, worn by any other person: On the Ist of November he had on alarge Leghorn hat—bia shoes were much too large for Lim. I have seen him both clean and ditty—(Laughter)--he sometimes wore a neckcloth, but not always. I can swear positively I have seen him with a neckcloth before the Ist of November. 1 have seen the hair long on the top lip ; never observed that the eye brows had been shaved off. I should think Mr. Anderdon's house not fit for a gentle man, but it was comfortable, and I should say well worth 30/. or 35/. a year rent. I have seen holes dug in his garden, but not so large as a grave. I never was inside the house. I have seen him frequently with several children about him. Ido not know whether be keeps a servant. Re-examined-1 have frequently exchanged words at passing. I thick ha always conducted himself rationally. He always appeared fond of children. Aaron Robson examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I am a carpenter ; was in company with the last witness on Sunday evening, the Ist of November. I have heard the account given by Metcalf of the transaction respecting Mr. Anderdon ; it was quite correct. I have lived in the neighbourhood of his house for a year and a half ; never heard that he was insane. Cross-examined by Mr. LAW—Never heard him called the " Mad Squire." He used to wear his beard long, but certainly not three or four weeks. He might perhaps shave about once a week. He wore respectable trowsers. I never saw him eat large lumps of cheese in the street. John Lisgrove examined by Mr. Pharr—l am a shoe maker at Bermondsey. I was passing York-street on the let Nov. My attention was arrested by a cry of watch. I was at the constable's house when Dr. Burrows's authority for taking Mr. Anderdon was produced. He said it was (oily a plan to put him out of the way. I afterwards went to the watch.house with the party. A constable named Back had the charge. One of the men produced an authority for taking Mr. Anderdon. In the bag they carried were nine screws, a large roll of strap ping, and a straight waistcoat. I attended the next day at Union-hall ; Mr. Anderdon, and the two wen, Hazard and Shelley, were - there ; they made their statement be fore Mr. Chambers, the Magistrate. I remained there until the evening, when the case was further investigated. Dr. Burrows was present at the last examination. He said the two men had been acting under his orders ; he was present about a quarter of an hour; he said something about returning, but he did not. Cross-examined by Mr. ALDERSON—When Dr. Burrows said that the men were acting under his orders, I was standing close to him. Mr. Chambers made some remark on the singular appearance and dress of Mr. Anderdon, which led to some investigation as to his state of mind ; he had on a large straw hat. John Chapman examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Went to live near Mr. Anderdon. I recollect his person for a year and a half. (This witness gave a similar account of the transaction on the Ist of November as the preceding witnesses.) Mr. Anderdon told me that he did not know Dr. Burrows, neither had he ever seen him. Ann Anderson, examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—I am the wife of Anderson, the constable. I remember Scott, the watchman, taking Mr. Anderdon into custody. Scott is new gone to America. I have known Mr. Anderdon for three years ; he always appeared very fond of children, and his manners were always gentlemanly. Mr. George Drewitt examined—l am the plaintiff's at torney. On the Slat of October, at his request, I wrote to Messrs. Bosanquet for some money. Cross-examined—l was introduced to Mr. Anderdon on that day, for the first time, by Mr. Young, the picture dealer. I have never been at his house. I cannot say the amount of his purchases in pictures. He used to keep fire arms for the protection of his house. He never told me that it bad been broke open by a thief in "top boots." I never heard he had fired at people going along the street. Re-examined—Mr. Anderdon estimates the value of his pictures at 10,0001. He said they cost him under 4,0001. I have seen him nearly daily since this action was brought. The Newspapers were teeming with obser vations respecting Mr. Anderdon's hat, and as be was coming backwards and forwards to my office, I recom mended him to change it, which he accordingly did. The hat was certainly an unusual one for the time of year. David Kidd examined—l am clerk to Mr. Drewitt. I accompanied Mr. Anderdon to the bankers on Monday, the 2d of November. On presenting his cheque it was refused payment. The brother of Mr. Anderdon is a partner in the bank. On the following day a writ was issued against the bankers, and on the 18th the money was paid by Mr. Freshfiekl, their attorney. George Mainwaring examined—l am a mill-wright ; have resided near the plaintiff's house for twenty-five years ; have known him seven or eight years. I have occasionally during the last three years conversed with him, he was always very pleasant. He appeared to have a partiality for children. I should not have supposed from his con versation that he was a deranged person ; he only ap peared a little eccentric in his dress. George Smart examined—l am the plaintiff's landlord, he has lived there about a year and a half ; I inquired his character of his former landlord; I have frequently con versed with him, at first I was rather shy of him, but on knowing him better, I found him to be a kind-hearted man, possessing a good understanding, very pleasant in his man ners, and very obliging. He was fond of children, and if lie thought they were hungry would give them food and money. the alteration made in his house last summer was at my suggestion. I never had any reason to doubt that he was a man of sound mimi. Cross-examined—The rent of Mr. Anderdon's house is 251. per annum, it contains four rooms, the ground-floor is below the level of the street ; I cannot say his bed is in one of the lower rooms. He lives by himself; I cannot say that he cooks his own dinner and makes his own bed ; I do not know that he dines with bargemen ; he is eccen tric in his dress, but in my opinion he studies convenience; I have seen him turn over the mould in his garden backwards and forward, but I supposed that was for exercise.—(Laughter.)—Never heard him called the mad squire ; he could not properly be called so. His beard was not an extraordinary old one—perhaps a week old. (Laughter.)—l have had mine a week old before now.— (Laughter. ) Re-examined—l do not think his whiskers were so long as Mr. Law's.—(Great laughter.)—His beard might be longer, but that was purely a matter of taste,-- 'Laughter.)—_l consider him to be a man of a strong and round mind. John Steady examined—l have property in Lambeth. Mr. Anierdon was formerly a tenant of mine; I have known him since the year 1521, from which time up to the present hour I have often seen him. Mr. BROUGHAM-In your opinion, was he a person of sound mind ? Witness—Yes, as sound as yours.—(Great laughter.) He was very careful in all his transactions. He was par ticularly fond of children. Richard Walker examined.—l am a house-decorator have known Mr. Anderdon since November last. I have seen him occasionally for twelve months before that time. , In the conversations I have bail with him, I found him to be an intelligent man. I went to Union Hall on the 2d November, since which time I have been more acquainted , with him. John Scott examined—l have retired from business and live in the York-road. I have known the plaintiff about one year, and have frequently, during that time, spoken to him. He was in treaty with me for a house. He appeared perfectly capable of taking care of himself a nd his affairs ; I considered his mind as sound as my own. Cross-examined.—The plaintiff has been at my house, I never was at his. Mr. John Barham examined.—l at times make pur chases of pictures; the plaintiff has been at my house with pictures, but I never made a bargain with him ; have frequently conversed with him aboutdifferent pictures, he appeared to have a good judgm.-nt on the subject. He has offered two of his pictures for one of mine, but that was not sufficient; he was an ve:y close that 1 never could a •complish a bargain; I do not think him a person likely to be imposed upon. Mr. Charles Young examined—l am a picture.dealer; have known the plaintiff some time ; I have sold hio , several excellent pictures, and conversed with him on the subject of painting. I should say he had a most excellent , judgment of pictures. I sold him one painted by " Claude :" there were .seventeen pictures in that lot, he was asked 900 guineas for it, and he, eventually site" ceeded in lowering the price to 650 guineas, at whirl , price he bought them. I asked for the picture by Claude 1,000 guineas, A short.time after they became his pro perty, I offered him for that one picture 400 guineas. I could have sold it for more than that sum. I could now dispose of all the pictures that I ever sold to Mr. Ander don for a greater sum than he gave for them. Cross -examined—The picture of Claude, in the first in stance, cost me 31., for which I asked a thousand guineas. Re-examined—When I first bought the picture it was in such a dirty state that the subject could not be told. On the lot of pictures that I sold Mr. Anderdon I got about 401. profit. _ _ Mr. George Fennell examined—l occasionally deal 4 1 pictures. I have have seen Mr. Anderdon's collection 0 0 S tturday last. There is one by Claude, for which I mould give 350 guineas to sell again. Many of them were veil good ones—others were bad, or I would rather say inferio r onee. I consider Mr. Anderdon's collection of picture . worth B,oook Mr. George Barclay—l have known the plaintiff tea years. I used to sell him hats. I remember selling hid , a Leghorn one ; it was then warm weather. He always wished for light hats. I always considered him a man of intelligence and consistency of conduct. Cross.examined—The brim of the Leghorn hat %O . four inches wide. A great number of other witnesses proved the plaintiP general consistency of conduct. Mr. DENMAN was addressing the Jury for the defenda t at the time we went to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. CRIM. CON.-MILDMAY V. KNAPP.

The three first witnesses merely proved the affectionat e state in which the plaintiff and his wife had lived together until this unfortunate occurrence took place. A man-servant in the family deposed to having seen the defendant with the wife of the plaintiff in a room to gether. He then detailed such ciicurnstances connected with their appearance, as could leave no doubt of the coo" nection complained of.
