IMPORTANT ECCLESIASTICAL MOVEMENT.—AR important ecclesiastical movement, designed to separate or reject several ministers and churches, is at present in progress among the Scottish congregationalists ; and the result, so fur as we can learn, has been the disavowal of fellowship or union, on the part of the four Congrega tional churches in Glasgow, with the churches and 'Pastore of the same denomination iniHamilton and Bells hill. A similar proceeding is also in progress towards the Congregational churches in Ardrossan, Cambuslang, and Bridgeton. The reason of of separation, we under stand, is a difference opinion on th e d oc t r i nes o f and special divi ne influence, of unconditional election, both of which a re sa id to be .denied by the churches at Hamilton, Bellshill, &c.; and, on the o th er hand main tained by the churches in Glasg ow to the Congregational Union .: We learn, I furthe long rth in alth e way in which this separatiort has been effected vir,as of friendly letters between the churches dainffeinireT:etinnnd: that the entire correspondence, exhibiting feature of the church polity of the Independents, will Shortly be published, and doubtless afford considerable scope for polemical discussion.—Glasgow Argus.

Th• total cost, including outlay for stock, stations, &c., will not exceed 8,000/. per mile. It will Ise perceived that the line is intended to meet the pro jected branch of the Great Western Railway from Gloucester to Fishguard (the South %Vales line), and that it must necessarily command a great portion of the traffic from the West of England ; and, if extended to Dublin, will constitute Waterford one of the most important ports of the empire. Power will be taken for the further extension of the line to the Irish Metropolis, irs the event of Ruth a measure being deemed ad visable. The poi t of Waterford can be entered at all times of the tide by vessels of 1,000 tons. The export trade of Waterford and the traffic between Waterford and Kilkenny is considerable, and is on the increase. The exports of Waterford in 1835, according to the Report of the Irish Railway Commissioners, amounted to the value of 1,821,245/., and the imports to 1,274,154/. At present the ex ports are represented by the local authorities to exceed two millions, and the imports one million and a half. At least one-third of the exports from Waterford may be pre sumed to pass through the county of Kilkenny, and this traffic would necessarily receive a great stimulus by the construction of a line of rapid communication with the interior of the country. The probability of a remunerative return from a railway opening up a communication between Waterford and Kilkenny, with a view to its future extension to Dublin, will be enhanced by the adoption of the economical principle upon which it has been determined to construct the line, which insures a reduction of at least 30 per cent, on theprimary investment. The necessary plans and surveys, with all other preliminary ar rangem;,rits, will be ready, so as to apply to Parliament for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the ensuing se--ion ; and inte rest at. the rate of 4/. per cent. will be allowed to subserihers their deposits, until the railway is completed.

The Charge which he delivered on this occasion was remarkable for the firmness of its tone, and the sound and rational reli gious spirit that pervaded it. There were no needless p.riplirases—no beatings about the bush—no jesuitical haltings between two sets of opinions. Unlike the Bishop of LONDON—who has been appropriately called the Sir ROBERT PEEL of the Church—in his notorious Charge of 1841, the Archdeacon did not deem it expedient to oscillate like a pendulum be tween High Church and Low Church; to curry favour with the former in one passage, and with the latter in another; to discuss essentials as if they were mere :trifles, and to raise trifles to the dignity of essentials. No such timid or evasive spirit was visible in Archdeacon WILBERFORCE'S Charge. He seemed to feel that his subject did not admit of it, and that it would only be degraded by such a shuf fling mode of treating it. Accordingly, nothing could be more perspicuous than his language, or more decided and straightforWard than his views. We allude, more particularly,' to. his remarks on the subject of the Tractarian heresy, on which he expressed himself with a distinctness and cogency of reasoning that must have carried conviction to the understandings of all who heard him. The Arch deacon is clearly no Tractarian. The specious falla cies of these Divinity sophists—whose name, we are sorry to say, is Legion—have no attraction for him— have made no impression on his acute intellect. He pierces at once through the shallow dis guise in which they clothe their Romanism ; tracks them through all their doublings ; and shows them, as they really are, insidious enemies of the Church under the pretext of being its best friends. " The causes which first separated our Church from Rome," observed the Venerable Archdeacon, " remain altogether unre moved ; those perilous corruptions of the highest taiths, which forced our Reformers to come out of her, as for their lives, continue still within her, and disfigure her communion ; what, then, can we think of those, who being placed by PROVIDENCE within this branch of His holy Church, go over willingly to the blindness of those self-chosen errors ? Surely whatever may be their attainments or their zeal, we must think and speak of them as of men given over to a great delusion !" The venerable speaker then went on to trace the course of these Tractarian zealots. At first, no doubt, they had a distinct perception of the evils of Romanism, but other features of the system possessed attraction for them; feelingconstantly o f a dmira tion Welling on they these ca withme by a d sortegre degrees to lose th e i r c l ear of morbidand dby 'apprehension of th e errors w hi ch on a first view had so startled them ; then they began to think that after all they were not quite so bad, or THE SUN, LONDON; WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Ye minutes after 3. energetic and powerful kingdom in Europe ! There is scarcely a wreck left. She has not one ship of the line fit for service—she has no mercantile navy. Bankruptcy, dishonour, public swindling, conspira cies, and murders, are the only features which distin guish this miserable country. A new constitution, under the directions of French authorities, has been framed, and will be fully completed, un less interrupted by some new conspiracy—some new scheme for individual interests at the ex- ppnie of the wretched inhabitants—the victims of every regenerator and impostor. Zuunaxo has raised the standard of revolt, but what can be expected from ruffian of his character, whose only mode of punish ment is death, and who for his own individual inte- rests would sacrifice the constitution of 1837, and sell himself to the first bidder. NARVABZ is bad enough, but ZUBBANO would be infinitely worse, and even Don CARLOS himself, who ought to have some regard fur the people, would be worse than either. His Du- rango decrees mark his ferocious nature, and &together every leader that has yet appeared, with the exception of ESPARTSRO, only exhibits the utter degradation and corruption of the Spanish nation. We look to the contest without the slightest hope of consolation; and every friend of humanity can only lament in despair the sufferings to which the lower classes, from all accounts the most remarkable in Europe, are sub jected by the worthless aristocracy, the grasping priesthood, and the mercenary officers and soldiers. Every year, nay, every month, some new out break takes place; the unfortunate inhabitants Ire made the victims, their property is pillaged, they are shot like beasts of prey, and there seems to be no end to their calamities. If ever any nation had a claim to the humane consideration of Christian States, Spain has the best right to demand their aid ; and France and England, and the other great Powers, will suffer much in the judgment of pos terity, if these horrible scenes are not put down by a • universal combination in the cause of humanity. he Madrid Gazette of the 19th instant publishes a supplement, containing a dispatch from the military chief of the Logrono, in which he states that he came up with the band of ZURBANO near Montenegro, and that his followers, on the approach of the QUEEN'S troops, threw down their arms and fled in all direc tions. ZURBANO and his two sons made their escape, with the intention, apparently, of crossing the Ebro, and seeking refuge in France. The Government continue to show great jealousy and suspicion of the numerous disbanded officers residing in Madrid and the provincial towns. The Generals ESPINOSA, RAMIREZ, GRACES, &c., have been ordered to quit the capital. All the officers have been ordered to present themselves every week to the mili tary commandants of the towns where they reside, and not more than three of them are to be .permitted to meet at the same time. These discontented officers are said to amount to nearly ten thousand. "Most of them," according to a Madrid letter which appears in a French Government paper, " are destitute of the means of existence, and are disposed to join any party, whether Carlist, constitutional, or republican, pro vided they can procure bread. It is thus that almost all the bands of brigands that infest the roads and environs of Madrid are commanded by old officers. These bands, if a civil war were to break out in any part of Spain, would become factions, for they have arms and money." The Paris Moniteur, on the authority of a letter, says ZURBANO had entered Saragossa and put the Governor to death, but the report is not entitled to credit. The QUEEN'S fete was celebrated on the 19th, when a grand levee was held at the Palace. The Bourse in consequence was closed on that day. Some of the Paris journals of Sunday commented, with much bitterness, on an offensive letter from Otaheite, which appeared in some of the London journals. The subject, however, hardly deserves further notice; and we should not have adverted to it again, but for an amusing, and at the same time, in some respects a very sensible article, in the Journal des Debats. That journal treats these exparte statements as they deserve. " In the dearth," it says, " which at present prevails in the domain of polemics, several journals have contrived to discover a new subject against England, and yesterday copied, with a great increase of indignation, a letter from Otaheite, published by an English journal. We should ourselves have given this Methodist tirade if we had believed that it merited our doing so, or if we had discovered anything new in it. But, in truth, we do not consider ourselves obliged to pay a serious attention to all the epistolary fragments which vi e find every day in the vast catacombs of the English papers, and to which these journals themselves attach only a very secondary importance. In England, the at any rate so important, as they originally ap peared; next they persuaded themselves—for who are so easily persuaded as those whose fancy predisposes them to delusion ?—that they were not errors at all ; and, finally, they hugged them to their hearts as so many distinguishing excellences. How happily do the following lines of POPE, which we quote from memory, and therefore with diffidence, apply to the course of a Tractarian convert ! " Vice is a monster of such fearful mein As to be hated needs but to be seen, But seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace I" The Archdeacon wound up his Charge by observ ing :—" That which above all we should each one dread, is a cold, worldly, trifling Ministry—a Minis try which is busy in circumstantials, which is idle as to materials, which is formal or frivolous, or charit. able, or busy, provided it be not spiritual —a Ministry which does not indeed lay hold of the souls of our people, because our own souls are not given up to Him whose name we fear." These remarks apply with peculiar force to the recent conduct of those ghostly Prelates, LONDON and EXETER, who have notoriously distinguished themselves by being " busy in circumstantials," as, for instance, when the former in his famous Charge of 1841—of which we have already made honourable mention— elaborately discussed the question of wax candles on the Communion-table, and whether the minister should bow to the east or west on leaving the church; and when the latter, in his judgment on the Helston case, expatiated with equal emphasis on the still more momentous theme of black and white surplices I Unfortunate Spain seems destined to undergo new convulsions, and, to all appearances, as fruitless as any that have taken place since the first invasion of the French during the reign of NAPOLEON. The country now has been for nearly forty years in a constant state of turmoil ; any little trade that existed has been completely destroyed ; the energy of the people has been turned—not to the arts of civilisation, or commerce, or literature—but to plots and conspira cies and intrigues ; and the most lamentable fact in this dismal account is, that not one man of energy, combining honesty and patriotism, has sprung up during that long period. In the revolutions which have broken out in England and France, some bright genius—some man sur passing all his competitors, great as they were— . e z:ne ferth to vindicate the honour of his country, ion of a system of liberty, or, at and lay the fr'undgt all events, of stable goiT.rnment. England and France never appeared to such salvantag4, or were more respected and dreaded by foreign countries, than when they were torn by civil dissensions, and ap peared almost helpless against foreign aggression. What saved them ? The patriotism of the people — that love of country which surpasses all other passions in energy and enthusiasm, and that noble spirit of independence which will . brook no interference of strangers. CROMWELL vindicated the majesty of the English nation, and though regarded as an usurper, was courted by every Sovereign, even the most absolute, in the civilised world. For years before 130NAPARTB distinguished himself, the French had set all their enemies at defiance; raw troops, in spired with the love of country, marched almost to certain death—nothing was thought of but the inde pendence of their country ; and, to their immortal honour, they not only expelled their worthless nobi lity and clergy, but male inroads on their meddling neighbours, and magnanimously asserted the inde pendence of the French nation. What glorious struggles, too, the people of the Nether lands made against the whole power of Spain ! They fought to the death against slavery, and were finally victorious, and the house of Austria strove in vain against a handful of patriots who followed the banners of TELL, and established a pure Republic in the midst of despotic States. Wha a contrast, when we turn to Spain—once the mos THOUARB: " The Ministry was accused of having put the crown ing point to its baseness by recalling Admiral Dupetit- Thouars ; it was a calumny. In place of recalling him, the Ministry forbids him to return, It is only too just. The prompt return of M. Dupetit Thouars would pro bably excite public indignation more keenly ; and if his appearance coincided with the sitting of the Chambers, who knows what part the Opposition might draw from it against the Ministry ? M. Guizot has come to the conclusion that a second voyage of circumnavigation should be prescribed to the Admiral, in the Interest of the Cabinet. The Admiral will be permitted to return home when the Otaheite affair is forgotten, dead, buried. M. de Machu, it is said, has gone further. His solici tude for his brethren in arms, and his zeal for his corn rades, are well knowu• lie desired to charge M. Du petit Thouars to make a voyage of discovery to one of the Poles, to seek for unknon lands, or even to at tempt the north-west passage from America. Never did a smaller matter more completely dishonour a Ministry! All the falsehoods which it heaped together to justify its renunciation of the sovereignty of Otaheite, and the disavowal of M. Dupetit Thouars, are evident ; the Moniteur proves it. The Admiral's Aide-de-camp was kept in a sort of sequestration, when he arrived in France at an inopportune moment ; the news from Otaheite was kept back from the public until information arrived from other sources ; the country, and the families of persons out at Otaheite, were allowed to remain in the utmost uneasiness relative to the combats engaged in with the natives ; and now, behold ! the officer who was disavowed is not permitted to repair to France, but is kept under arrest on board his frigate, during a fresh voyage, of great length ! An article was wanting to the penal cods of the Ministry which invented disavowal and blame—it is circumnavigation." These papers furnish no additional information re specting the fate of ZURBANO, but publish extracts from Bayonne papers, containing both a proclamation to the people, and an address to his followers after having entered Najera. They are, however, very contemptible productions. 'We fear there is too much truth in the following character of this man, as given by the Presse : " Zurbano unites in himself some of the good qualities and all the defects of those Guerilleros who, from the epoch of the invasion until the treaty of Vergara, covered themselves with glory in the war of independence, and with blood in the civil war. He is in the highest degree a man of stratagem, audacity, ferocity, and indefatigabi lity ; a compound of the fox, the boar, and the tiger, a dangerous friend, a redoubtable enemy. Before he made himself the terror of Catalonia, he was the butcher of the Carlists, and if Narvaez had not arrested him at Tor rejon, he would not have treated the Progressistos in 1843 better than he treated the Moderados at Vittoria and Bilboa in 1841. The proverb says—Honours change manners, but Zurbano gives the lie to the adage. He has preserved, under the uniform of a Lieutenant- General, his habits of a smuggler ; always ready to give a blow with his fist or a shot from his musket, always acting with brutality, and speaking in lan guage o f t h e grossest insult. In proof of this, the case of M. Laserna, the political chief of Bilboa, may be adduced. He treated him in 1841 as he had all his life treated the officers of the Customs who opposed his contr a b an d p ract i ces. All the endeavours of the Government h ave b een i n va i n ; nothing ca n appease the insti ncts of this sanguinary being. The necessity for bein g i n act i on, which is the distinguishing characteristic of Zurbano, and that con tinual excitement of ferocity which urges him into adven tures which promise him the gratification of insatiable desires do not, however, exclude him from having great subtlety and much prudence. Danger never stops him, but he never seeks it without a motive. At the same time, it is not very easy, we repeat, to assign any serious motive for his last coup-de-main."

Mr. Knight, butler to a gentleman in Grosvenor-square, said that he was in deceased's company on Monday night, and at twelve o'clock he left him at his house. Deceased was then perfectly sober. Mr. William Bloxham, surgeon, said that he was sent for last Tuesday morning to attend upon the deceased, whom he found in bed, much injured. Deceased told him that on the previous night he went down into the cellar to do something to the barrels, and was at the top of the first flight of stairs upon his return, when Le missed his hold of the bannisters, and fell over and over to the bottom. He had sufficient strength to go up stairs again, and did not complain of what had happened until the next morning, when witness was called to him. 04 Saturday inflammation of the brain commenced, and he died that day. He was a very heavy man, and that, perhaps, accounted for the severity of the injuries. Ver dict—Accidental Death. PAISLRY.—We have this week had an occurrence in town which has afforded an excellent subject for local scandal, and which is likely to afford employment for the gentlemen of the long robe in the highest court in the country. While such proceedings are pending, it does not become us to publish particulars ; but we may briefly state that the substance of the occurrence is this: —One of the magistrates who occupied an important p o . sition in the late election of our chief magistrate, met i n company with a gentleman carrying on an extensive business in town, last Tuesday, in Glasgow. The gen tleman referred to has taken a warm interest in the lelection, on the opposite s id e from tilt? bailie, and, i n consequence, high words ensued soon after their ta 4e t. ing, and severe language was made use of on both sides. With this the parties separated at the time, but, having come out to Paisley in the same train, they came in con text it the foot tor the railway stairs, when blows ensued —the magistrate haying 0 0 2 n zt,ruck, and finally, knocked clown, before a number of people by 114 opponent.-- Scotch Paper. At the last rent audit, Mr. Byng, M.P., made a re duction of 10/., 201, and 30/. per cent., according to the exigencies of his tenantry. principal object of the journals is to have news which the others have not, and thence it follows that they in general receive all the communications sent to them, without much caring what political signifi cation they may have. It is, we are inclined to think, to this unlimited custom of publicity, more than to any 'deliberate sentiment of malevolence, that must be attributed the insertion in an English journal of great circulation of the famous letters dated from the harbour of Tangiers. These letters, al though the whole affair concluded in a manner bur lesque enough by the confession and contrition of a chaplain, nevertheless possessed a certain importance, from the position of the persons to whom they had been in the first instance attributed, and the very awkward consequences which they might involve. But, in good faith, we have something else to do with our time, and with the attention of the public, than waste both in what an illustrious orator has called querelles de sacristie. We do not judge it necessary to blow up the flame of discord between two great nations relative to the ill.humour of a missionary, cry ing out the abomination of desolation, because some French sailors danced on a Sunday with the savage ladies of t i h , e or is , le w o e f m C s y th y say, era, What is th e r e i n th a t so so offensive ? Every one knows that a French Sunday is not, thank Heaven, like an English one ! The Methodists had taught the Ota heitans to observe the Sabbath in the English way—to be melancholy on the seventh day, and not to take any strong liquours unless perhaps such as they themselves sold them—and, behold ! they find all their economy disarranged by the introcluetiou of more sociable and more tolerant habits ! What is there astonishing in their exaggerating their grievances, in their increas ing to an immoderate extent what they consider a stumbling-block of ofrOnce, and in accusing our sailors of giving to the gentle and simple daughters of the South Sea lessons in forbidden choregraphy ? We are well persuaded that these accusations are so many calumnies ; but it must be borne in mind that dancing, even of the noblest character, is in the eyes of zealous Protestants a monstrous desecration of the Sabbath. It is, therefore, natural for them to cry out a little. When their language is risible, it ought to be laughed at; when it is rude, to be pitied; and when well-founded attended to ; but in no case do we think that there is sufficient cause in their complaints to recal ambassadors, or to excite sentiments of ani mosity between two nations who look on each other seriously. We are well convinced besides that, on this point, as on many others, the Opposition journals make much more noise than they think there is harm, and that if they are going to seek for war at Otaheite, it is, as M. DE LAMARTINE very justly observed, what they will not find." The Courrier Francais contradicts in these words a paragraph, which we copied yesterday from the Presse, relative to the return of Admiral DUPBTIT OMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) WEBB V. BEVAN AND OTHERS. The plaintiff is a livery-stable keeper in Gray's Inn lane, and brings this action of trespass under the follow .ng somewhat singular circumstances :—The defendant, Mr. Bevan, a barrister, had placed a horse at livery in the stables of Mrs. Savage, in Fetter-lane, for the pur• pose of being taken by some trusty person in her service to be sold at Tattersall's. This commission was in the first instance entrusted to one of Mrs. Savage's ostlers, named Charles Stocking ; but from something that transpired respecting that person, his mistress strictly forbad him to take the horse away. However, he'did so ; but instead of taking him to Tattersall's he lota it f)r 101. to Mr. Webb, the plaintiff, to whose possession it was traced, The defendant Mr, Bevan, accompanied by the other defendants, of whom three were pol" constables, proceed e d t o M r . W e bb' s stables, and re nising his horse, d eman d e d i t to h e restored to him. r. lie plaintiff refused, i ns i st i ng t h at h e had fairly purchased( it from a person a u th or i se d b y the defendant, lie then locked the stahletdo cr , w hi c h t h e defendants broke open, and took the horse away. Mr. WiLanis (with whom was Mr. Lush), for the plaintiff, contended upon these facts that the first aut,ho rity to Stocking to take the horse to Tattersall's was sufficient to make good the purchase by the plaintiff.' Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, for the defendant Mr. Bevan, Mr. Sergeant Channel), fur another defendant, and Mr. Sergeant Byles, far the constables (who suffered judg ment to go by default), addressed the jury at scene length, complaining that all who were present with Mr. Bevan were made defendants, and he was deprive&,of their testimony, and contending that upon his own case the plaintiff was entitled to no damages, or at most 0 a very small amount. .- The evidence for the defence went to prove the owrer ship in Mr. Bevan, and the unlawful removal of the Wile (or stealing) by Stocking. .1 (The case had not concluded when we went to preili.) APPEAL COURT, DOCTORS' COM MONS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court sat to-day for the purpose of hearing ap peals, of which but a com p arat i ve l y small number were on the list. The only case of the slightest general interest which was heard was an application for a monition to issue against John Doricourt Taylor, whose case has aliegdy appeared in this paper, for having failed to comply with certain orders of the Court. • The case had been heard some time ago, when the Court adjudged that Mr. Taylor should pay a stated sum into Court within fifteen days from the 13th of this month. This term having expired to-day, the process of Court was now sought. In support of the application, affidavits were put into Court and read, which stated that Mr. Taylor had left England, and was out of her Ma jesty's dominions, and that any further delay in the is suing of the monition would be attended with a frustra tion of the order and intention of the Court. The COURT held that it would be rather precipitate to issue such a process on the very day when the order of the Judge was only to expire, and consequently deferred issuing the monition until the next day appointed for the sitting of the Court. This being the last case on the list, the Court rose. CRIMINAL COURT-(TIIIS DAY.) OLD GOURD. (Before Lord Chief Justice DEztuAN.) His Lordship entered the Court and took his seat al 10 o'clock. THE SLAVE TRADE ON THE COAST OF AFRICA. Mr. PRENDERGAST and Mr. CLARRSON appeared to make an application on the part of Captain Thomas Jennings, late of the Augusta, who was charged with slave trading on the Coast of Africa. Mr. PRENDERGAST prayed that his Lordship would enter at once upon the trial this session, or at least fix a time for it, as Mr. Jennings's character and prospects were greatly injured while the present charge of felony was kept suspended over his head. The injury was the greater, as that gentleman solemnly protested that the accusation was a most unfounded one. Mr. PAYNE opposed the application upon an affidavit of Sir George Stevens, which was read to the Court. It would be quite impossible to proceed with the trial until the presence of Captain Hill, who was at present in com mand at the Bolam River, could be had in this country. That would, at the lowest computation, involve a delay of six months, and on that ground he moved that the application be dismissed, and a postponement granted for that time. Lord DENMAN said that Captain Jennings had already urged a plea in another Court, that he had been already tried for this offence, which plea had been dismissed. Had it, however, been held gocd, there would have been no necessity for Captain Hill's evidence in the case; but now that officer's evidence was indispensable. He would, therefore, order that the trial take place in the coming January Sessions. Three young men, labourers, named William Sadd, Henry Clow, and George Henry Vaughan, were indicted for feloniously assaulting John Augustus Lock, with in tent to murder him. A second count charged them with a common assault. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Doane appeared for the prose. cution ; Mr. Prendergast for the prisoner Sadd, Mr. Payne for Clow, and Mr. Ballantine for Vaughan. The person assaulted, John Augustus Locke, a sworn constable at Nicholson'a wharf, had taken a drunken person into custody for obstructing the business theie, and while conveying him to the station-house, ho was surrounded by a mob, among which the prisoners were conspicuous who committed the assault complained of, and released the prisoner. They were at a subsequent period taken into custody. The prisoners were this day tried for the common assault only. Evidence having been given, and the counsel for the prisoners having severally addressed the j ur y, Lord DENMAN summed up, and the jury, after con. suiting together, returned a verdict of Guilty against Henry Clow, but recommended him to mercy on account of previous good character, and Acquitted the other two. His LORDSHIP then said that the prisoner had been con victed of a brutal and cowardly assault, but in considera tion of the good character he had received, and the recom mendation of the jury, the punishment inflicted would be lighter than the crime deserved. The sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months, and at the end of that period enter into his own reoognizances in 50/. to keep the peace for two years. The additional charges upon the oalenclar unica last Monday are twenty-seven, consisting principally of lar cenies from houses and from the person. No charges of a particularly heavy character are added. CLERKENWELL,(THIS DAY.) Two men named Bryant, and one named Lynch, were charged with lighting a fire in an uninhabited house, the property of the Globe Insurance-office. Lynch was further ehar&efl with violently assaulting' police-constable Moss, G 195, and poliee-sergeant G b. It appeared from the evidence that about ten weeks ago an extensive warehouse was bnrned down in Back hill, clerkenwell. It was insured in the Globe Insurance office, and is now in prowess of re-eoection by that esta blishment. Last night, Moss being on duty in Back hill, saw a fire on the first floor of the warehouse, and on climbing up to the first floor, saw a large fire in the more irowdiaiely o;,iewor4a of tte laiga w0,. - ,den beams, and all the chips and shavings in the neighbourhood of it. The inhabitants of the adjoining houses were startled out of sleep by the flames and smoke. Moss sprung his rattle, obtained as s istance, and extinguished the fife : There was neither orate nor 04 111 0600 in the room; and there can be no doubt but for the timely arrivill of the constable, the whole premises would have been consumed. The men were under the influence of liquor, and Lynch kicked the constables so violently that Moss was almost disabled, and sergeant G 3 much hurt. Lynch removed to the station house until his arms and legs were fettered. The two Bryants were in default of fine sentenced to ten days' imprisonment, and Lynch to three weeks. 'THIS DA Y'S NEWS L EXCHEQUER —(Tlll S DAY.) ORD (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westmi nste r, b efore the CHIEF BARON.) THE ATTORNEY-CErILRAL U. TOPLIS. G This was an inforin<ion filed by th e Attorney -1 against the 0- afendant, for harbouring and con cealing, and haitig in his possession a quantity of tobacco, whit*, had not paid the d u t y . The Solicitor-General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde, contl'acted the case for the Crown ; Mr. Huinfrey and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the defendant. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL said, the circumstances of this case were very short. The defendant carried on the business of a tobacco manufacturkr in Bermondsey street, Surrey. About three o'clock on the morning of I)ec.3, 1843. an officer of the Customs, named Jordan, in consequence of information he had received, proceeded to watch the premises of the defendant. He planted him self under one of the arches of the Greenwich Railway, and had not been standing there long before he observed a man coining from a court or alley adjacent, with a brown paper parcel on his shoulder, which he took to the defendant's house. The door having been opened, he went in, left the parcel, and returned. A boy followed soon after, carrying a small parcel, which he disposed of in the same way. The man who was seen first returned with a third parcel, which, like the former, was left at the house of the defendant. The officer then prticeeded in search of a policeman, and not being able to find one, he called up another officer in the Customs to assist him. The man and the boy escaped, but Jordan succeeded in seizing a parcel, which was found to contain a quantity of pressed tobacco. On entering the premises he found the defendant partly dressed, standing on the stairs ; and, on seeing him, he ran out of sight. To bacco was seized on the premises to the amount of 1,906 lbs., which was appraised at 3471. 14s. An in formation was then laid for the purpose of condemning the tobacco, and on the trial a verdict was given for the Crown, and judgment entered on that ver dict. This judgment was conclusive evidence that the tobacco was liable to seizure. The only question which the jury had to decide on that occasion was, whether the defendant harboured and con cealed the tobacco, knowing that it had not paid the duty. Witnesses were then called and examined on behalf of the Crown, after which, Mr. HUMFREY, for defendant, said he would not call into question the evidence just adduced, but he thought he might fairly call upon the jury to deduct 600 lbs., on which duty had been paid. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L replied, saying he could not conceive how the jury could yield to the request of his Learned Friend, after the evidence had been so strongly unfavourable to the point on which he rested. His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence briefly, The jury found a verdict for the Crown, with damages in the single value of 3471. 17s.—Verdict entered accord. ingly. UNION-HALL. -(THIS DAY.) George Seymour, a fine tall young fellow, was charged on his own confession, with being a deserter from the 49th Regiment of Foot. A policeman stated that the prisoner walked into the station-house the preceding night, and saying he was a deserter from the above regiment, added that be came there to give himself into custody. Mr. COTTINGRAM asked him why he deserted; and his reply was that when with the regiment he got drunk and remained from barracks so long that he did not like to go back, and came up to London. He added that he was now most anxious to join his regiment. Mr. COTTINGIUM said the prisoner had committed a serious offence against the articles of war, and asked him if it was likely he would get punished? The prisoner said that he was certain he would not be flogged, that he would get a few days sharp drilling, and a little soli tary confinement in the black hot*. Mr. COTTINGUAM said that his present condition was attributable to liquor, and advised him is future to ab stain from it. The Magistrate added that it was his duty to commit him to gaol until the authorities at the War-office were apprised of his being in custody. The:deserter was then sent to prison. 4-44 vrt t, • ...$4110 6 , r iitorr A 17. SECOND EDITION. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) THE LATE DOUBLE SUICIDE AT MILE-END. INQUEST ON THE BODIES.—(THIS DAY.) This forenoon, at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Baker, the Coroner for East Middlesex, commenced au inquiry at the Fox Tavern, Rupel-street, Mile-end, respecting the melancholy deaths of Charles William Duckett, aged 21, and Elizabeth Williams, aged 27, who com mitted self-destruction on the night of Sunday last,, in the arms of each other, from the effects of prussic acid. The jury baring been duly sworn in, they proceeded to view the remains of the unfortunate couple, which laid in about the same state as when the shocking occurrence was discovered, both bodies being stretched on the end of the bed. That of the female was rather pleasingly attired, having on a black silk dress, dark rich shawl, her hair done up in ringlets, and otherwise neatly clad ; her bonnet was off, lying behind her heed on the bed, as if it had fallen there at the moment of her taking the deadly draught. The body of the young man was also very well dressed, having on a black frock •coat, light waistcoat, with a black satin stock, fastened by a pin, and a pair of dark trousers. Both countenances appeared quite placid. On the return of the jury the evidence was gone into. The principal facts connected with the sad affair ad duced before the Coroner, were almost the same as those that have already appeared in this journal. The de ceased, Duckett, was, as has been before stated, most fervently attached to the young woman. On Sunday evening, at half-past five o'clock, he proceeded to her mother's residence, and took her out for the purpose of going to church. At this period it is almost certain that they had determined upon committing suicide, for they must have returned to his own home, and having entered unknown to his family, and secured themselves in his bed-room, took the deadly draught, and were dis covered, as has already been described. Dr. Letheby, the surgeon at the London Hospital, proved that they had died from the effects of the acid. As regard their state of mind, it appeared that the deceased for some time past had been out of employment, and been rather in a desponding state of mind, and thinking his prospects respecting his union with the deceased were blighted, it had affected him so much as to induce him, who no doubt persuaded the unfortunate girl, to commit self•des truction. The letters spoken of in another part of this journal were read by the constable, and both from their execu tion and the extraordinary nature of the language, ex cited considerable interest. The inquiry was proceeding when we went to press.) FLANDERS MAIL.

An astronomical friend has furnished u, with a few remarks upon it :—" j dor:'t know that ce ll o can be said about an eclipse of the . moon, and I stiPP.,,,,. it is from this cause, and the d eaire of writing s e ' - or a thing, that I have noticed 'ln some of the pap ers most trite and futile paragraphs about this o ' l4 , to the cleans-. eclipse. It Is, however, a remarkable phenon 3ol° ol and or that I have never before witnessed, that should ha ve , i n one year, two total eclipses of the 01 1 0°I, —namely, on th e 31 st of May last, and on 5r10u t,,,, ., accompanied by the most favourable atmospherical eil ' i, curnstances. That of Sunday was the most beautti. er from the greater altitude of the moon and the superi l do darkness of the sky. Indeed, the rapidity with w i !,,,,, the total darkness came on, when the moon bee'" -- . nearly immersed in the shadow, produced in the ~ ,o e tator an almo s t i rres i st ib le feeling of awe—less in degt` but of the same nature with that which is felt duri l lf- Ltal solar e c lip se .

At Glen Osmond four men raise" eleven tons of rich ore in one week. We understand that a letter was received late yester day, by one of the superior officers in the City police. stating that all the property stolen from Messrs. Rogers and Co., the bankers, was in a house at Walworth, read/ to be delivered up upon the payment of a larger reward' than that offered. Officers went in the direction stated, and found a miserable house, the tenant of which de%ded all knowledge of the contents of the letter, and most readily offered that his house should be searched, TO is no doubt a feint. That the property is not far from London, awaiting a compromise, is held to be quite cer" certain by the most experienced of the City officers.
