Mr. MITCHELL begs respectfully to submit a list of the EN GAGEMENTS, and an outline of the ARRANGEMENTS which be has entered Into for the ENSUING SEASON of FRENCH PLAYS, which will be commenced on WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22, and which, he trusts, will be deemed worthy the distinguished Patronage hitherto conferred upon his Theatre.

" " STRATHERN; OR, LIFE AT HOME AND ABROAD." Sir,—The interest which yen e v i nce i n R a i lway matters, induces A STORY OF THE PRESENT DAY. me to take the earliest opportunity afforded, of making publicly "This novel presents a series ofexciting tableaux vivans of society-, a brief commentary on, or rather correction of, a passage in the Such as no writer of the present day except Lady Blessington has leading article of the " Rallts-ay Ti mes " o f to-day, devoted to a dis -the„coura,ge to paint, and the ability to execute.

Lion—a mighty convenience this to the said City of York, which Stormy Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. is to be so greatly benefited by the Line!" lam aware that , this remark has, in all probability, arisen front tke language of the statement recently put forth by this Board of the " case and merits of tl - ,e Line," which, on my attention being new brought to it, is not sp , ..cific on this point, for, after stating that the Line will reduce the distance between London and York to 1761 ant that collision with the traffic of the Tork and North Midland Railway' is avoided by carrying the line by a bridge over that Rail way, It has certainly been omitted to state the fact, that the conve nience of York City has been duly provided for by the intended for mation of a New Station close to the existing turnpike-road at Mickle gate. This station, which has always been part of the plan, :Is in fact a material feature in it, in order to avoid the detention and conflision which would otherwise occur at York, from the use of the present station there, with its other multifarious traffic. The object of the Junction with the Great North of England Railway, at the distance of a mile and a half from the City of York, is to carry on in the molt direct manner the Northern and Scotch traffic. I have forwarded this correction to the editor of the " Railway Times," but as the same cannot appear is that paper until next week, I am desirous immediately to obviate tho impression which the article in question must otherwise convey to the public, and, there, fore, I shall be obliged by your inserting this in your paper of to-day.

Another striking illustration of the severity with which the law—or what is called the law—presses upon the poor and the defenceless may be found in the following paragraph, which we quote from a Morning Contemporary :—" On Wednesday evening a police order for the removal of all the fruit-stalls in the Strand, and at the streets and courts leading thereto, was carried into effect by policemen specially appointed for the duty. No reason has been assigned for the order, which is, however, justified by the Police Act, and can be enforced at the caprice of any inspector or other policeman." Now what earthly occasion was there for the issuing of a peremptory mandate like this, whose immediate effect must almost necessarily be, to deprive several poor people—chiefly old women who have no other means left of earning a subsistence--of their sole remaining chance of keeping out of a workhouse, which it is well known, they look upon, and justly too, as the ne-plus-ultra of human wretchedness ? Is it that the fruit-stalls are a public nuisance ?—that they incommode respectable pedes trians who may happen to be passing to and fro from the City or the West-end ?—that their homely, un sightly look is odious in the eyes of gentility, whose optics are apt at times to be exceedingly fastidious ? If the objection be that the stalls are a nuisance, how i 3 it that the order for their removal has not been issued long since ? To our certain knowledge they have existed for years and years in the Strand, and no complaint that we know of has ever been made against them ; and such being the case, it seems an act of the most wanton tyranny to remove them. In deed, a sort of prescriptive right may be pleaded in justification of their continuance ; but no, we are for getting ourselves ; prescriptive right to which the law allows a certain validity when the interests, pecuniary or otherwise, of the respectable classes of society are concerned, is utterly without avail when those only of the poor are concerned. Many an individual in the upper or middle walks of life has been continued in the possession of a property of questionable origin by pleading this right in a court of justice; but it has had no effect in preventing the inclosure of common- lands, on which from time immemorial the labourer had exercised the privilege of pasturing his pigs or his geese ! Prescriptive right has been allowed no influence in this case, but the strict letter of the law has been enforced, no matter how great the hardship and the injustice occasioned by it. But granting tha t the fruit-stalls in the Strand are a nuisance, why is the police crusade carried on against them exclusively? Are they more annoying to the public than the showy wares which are so ostentatiously protruded by the shop-proprietors at least two yards on each side of the passage in the Lowther and Burlington Arcades ? If it be deemed expedient by the police authorities to re move the obstruction in the one case, even-handed justice demands that it should be removed in the other. But, alas ! in the former instance the interests, such as they are, of squalid poverty only are concerned, and these may be injured with im punity ; while in the latter, it is the privileges of rich, respectable tradesmen and the convenience of their customers that are concerned, and these, in accordance with the etiquette of police law, must be dealt with tenderly. It will never be well with society till these shameful distinctions between rich and poor are wholly and for ever removed. Daily we see proofs of the ruinous consequences attending them in the increasing demoralisation of the labouring classes, who, neglected and despised by those who should be their guardians, advisers, and benefactors, too often rush into evil courses out of a sheer feeling of despe ration. Wealth and respectability profess a well bred horror of the midnight conflagrations of SWING and the lawless excesses of REBECCA, but they never take into consideration how much of this mischief may be owing to their own supercilious treatment of the poor. They sow the wind, and then think it a hard case if they reap the whirlwind. But expe rience has at length produced its natural effect on the minds of the higher and middle classes of society, who are now fast awakening to the necessity of pursuing a different course of conduct to that which they have pursued for years past towards the labouring masses of the population. THIS DAY'S NEWS QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the Crown paper to-day, and were occupied the whole morning with a case as to the liability of a parish to be rated, which possessed no ,public in terest whatever. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) HARRISON V. BILLING. Accounts from Madrid of the 10th inst. announce that ZURBANO, after many windings and narrow escapes, had at last reached a place of safety. He is now in Lisbon. In the Senate the clause relative to the QUEEN'S marriage was finally agreed to, after an ineffectual attempt by the Marquis of MIRAFLORES to set aside that part of it which prohibited her mar riage with any branch of the Don CaaLos family. The Three per Cents. closed, on the 10th instant, at 30i for cash, and 34 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23 9-16 for cash, and 23 15-16 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 27 at 60 days; the Debt with. out interest at 6 15-16 at 60 days; and the Vales Non-consolidated at 9 5-32 at 60 days. This case was tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe on Tues day last. The action was brought upon a promissory note for 491. 10s. made on the Ist of March, 1839, by the defendant, payable to the order of Potts, and endorsed by him to the plaintiff; a solicitor in Birmingham. It was pleaded by the defendant that the note was made for the joint accommodation of himself and Potts, that it was given to the plaintiff for the purpose of being dis counted, and that it was now held by him without con sideration, the promised advance upon it having never been made. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. M. D. HILL, on behalf of the plaintiff, now moved, on the ground of misdirection, for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause, why the verdict in his favour should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The argument turned on a point of special pleading.— Rule refused. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) IN RE TMOMAS COWLEY JONES.-CLAIM TO PROM UNDER The discussions in the French Chamber of Peers, on the war with Morocco, have ended entirely in favour of the Minister. It is admitted on all hands that Guzzor, in his replies to the Prince of MOSCOWA and the Count DE LA REDORTE, was completely triumphant; and so forcibly did he repel unjust in sinuations, and show the wise policy of France in concluding the treaty of peace, that neither Count MOLE, nor Baron DUPIN, nor one speaker of note had courage to come to the relief of the defeated grumblers, so convinced are the Opposition of the fact, that their organs have given up all hopes of success in the Peers, and trust to the Deputies, where, they say, he must put more mettle into his arguments, and where he will have to contend with keener weapons. They even have the meanness to seek for consolation in the decay of his physical strength. " He ought to ma nage his strength," says one of these journals, " for he is evidently wearing out, and we watch him with an ' anxious and compassionate eye, remarking that, when seated on his bench, he wears an over-excited, flushed countenance, exhibits a blackness round the eyes, and shows all the symptoms of irritation of the larynx. Let him, therefore, spare himself, as he has spared the Emperor of Moaocco. He owes at least to himself the same care and calming treatment that he has bestowed on a barbarian." The vigour with which this able Minister repels the attacks of his opponents, shows however that neither his body nor his mind is worn out : bat what we admire chiefly in his conduct is that imperturbable spirit—that determina tion to render justice to a 'great rival—that utter contempt for men who call him the " Minister of the stranger"—and that generous devotion to truth which emboldens him to praise England even in the midst of her enemies. " 'We are told," said he, " that we allowed ourselves to be guided by England ! Never was a more striking contradiction given to such a declaration. What I expected to hear in this Chamber was quite the opposite of what the Noble Peer has advanced. What I expected was to hear justice and homage rendered to England for her con duct towards us during this war with Morocco. England allowed that our complaints against that country were just and our claims moderate—that, in fact, we had a right to reparation. The English Cabinet officially notified to Morocco that she must not reckon on any aid from her in case of a contest, and recommended their agents to advise the EMPEROR to recognise the Government of France, and give the required satisfaction. Thus, on the one side, the con duct of the French Government was full of in dependence and firmness; and on the other, that of England was full of moderation and justice. This conduct of England is proved by the in structions issued from the Admiralty instruc tions worthy of a great people and a noble ally." Queen CHRISTINA'S paper, while it admits the ability with which GUIZOT conducted the debate, gives no credit to his statement respecting the Lords of the Admiralty, and as a proof of the unconquerable hate which animates the writer, seizes an occasion to find fault with England when her conduct towards France was generous and magnanimous. "But is it true?" he asks, " that the conduct of England has been in strict conformity with the words contained in the dispatch of Lord ABERDEEN :to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, and which we published on the 13th of January. We doubt it ; but the ques tion of Morocco is an affair, if not skilfully, at least THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. This was a rule to show cause why a previous judg ment, pronounced in this Court by Mr. Commissioner Law, should not be set aside. The facts of the case were as follows :—The insolvent had been indebted to a person named Young, which debt became waived by the Statute of Limitations. After his insolvency, he wrote a letter, acknowledging the debt, but in which there was no direct promise to pay. Mr. Commissioner Law refused to allow the proof, and Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of Mr. Toung, moved for the present rule. The COURT held that Mr. Commissioner Law was right in the view he took of the case, and discharged the rule, at the same time ordering that no re-assignment should be made to the insolvent without due notice being given to all his creditors. IN RE JAMES S HAL LIS. - EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. The insolvent appeared in Court to be liberated on bail. Upon the two persons who offered themselves as sureties entering the witness-box, one of them, named William Whitecombe, demurred to being sworn upon the Testament. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS (to Mr. Whitecombe)— Why do you refuse being sworn upon the Bible ? Do you believe in it ? Mr. Whitcombe— I believe in all the parts of it which are moral. I believe in those parts of it which denounce falsehood and bearing false testimony against my neighbour. The CHIEF COMMISSIONED—Then do you only believe in the Bible so far as those principles are concerned in the same manner as you would believe in a novel or any other profane work which embodies the same maxims ? Mr. Whitcombe—Most certainly. I only believe in the truths themselves and not in the general book in which they are contained. Mr. Commissioner POLLOCIL—IS the Court to conclude that you deny the Divine origin of the New Testament, or that it is a work of Divine revelation? Mr. Whitcombe —I do deny it. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—You may retire Mr. Whitcombe. The Court does not require your presence any longer. Mr. Whitcombe and the other surety then left the Court, and the insolvent was taken back to the Queen's Bench Prison in default of bail. - - gloriously, terminated; and, as is well known, we do not like to recriminate for recrimination's sake, it is quite enough to be obliged to do so in order to repel unjust attacks. We, therefore, omit further remarks, merely declaring that we can easily pardon magna nimity carried to excess towards a conquered state; but what we _cannot• forgive is the excess of cora. plaisance shown to an arrogant nation, which has the pretension of being at present the first in the world." Mr. Non Toil gave directions that the clerk of the works should be aent for, and acquainted with the cir cumstance. The France, another Opposition journal, thus takes up the burden of the song, and joins in chorus with the revilers of England, and of the Minister for Fo reign Affairs : " The ordinary introduction of the speeches of M. Guizot are known beforehand. They invariably begin with a Britannic Odyssey, in which the sweets of the entente cordiale are highly celebrated. M. Guizot has been faithful to his outre mer affections ; we will even say that yesterday he surpassed himself. In the first outburst of his all-English heart, he defended, as she deserved, that good, that honest, that innocent England, so unjustly calumniated by the French Opposition party. England to have meddled with the affairs of Morocco otherwise than agreeably to us ! England to have op posed her veto and her influence to a conclusion so honourable for us ! You cannot think it ; she is too good for ns ; she has too much at heart to see our power recognised in the world ; she is too sincerely devoted to our interests and our supremacy ! This oratorical movement over, M. Guizot was only the shadow of him self. What will you have ? M. Guizot has no affections hut for the English alliance ; he has no force or warmth but when he takes for his subject that good Old England, which has twice received him like a favoured child, as Ambassador and as Minister. lie is a conquered gladia tor, carrying with him the weapon by which he has been struck, and which painfully affected him in the second part of the discussion, that which related to the execu tion of the treaty." MARYLEBONE VESTRY. (THIS DAY.) EXPLANATION OF 1)R. PENFOLD. At a meeting of the Marylebone Vestry this day, the Rev. Dr. Penfold offered the following explanation on the subject of the accusation which had been made against him, of having takes a bank note, marked " Tithes," from the subscription plate of the Girls' School at the Church. He had, it appears, received various contributions by post, similarly marked, on previous occasions, and having learned the name and address of the person who had placed this money in the plate, he found it was the sane that had sent the former contributions by post. This person, who did not wish his name to be known, said that he intended the money for Doctor Penfold, and not for the charity. Doctor Penfold, in order that he might have the word of another to corroborate what he had said, had induced this person to call on the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, and state his intention in giving the money. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) The Committees of the Chamber of Deputies were occupied in examining the Budget and especially the expenses of the Finance Department. These ex penses were estimated at 623,402,185 f., being an in crease of 12,814,167 f. The question of the conver sion of the Five per Cents. was cursorily discussed ; the idea was generally admitted in principle, but a great majority in each bureau declared against its immediate adoption. In the course of the day M. GUIZOT called a meeting of the Committees, and stated that from accounts he had received he had greater hopes than ever of the successful conclusion of the negotiations respecting the right of search, that England was sincerely desirous of discovering some equally efficient means for putting an end to the slave-trade and with that understanding she was willing to modify the treaty. The Funds continued firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 20c., and the New Loan at 86f. 40c. COVENT-GARDZN. RETURN OF HERMAJESTY FROM STOWE. Information having been received yesterday morning at the Euston-square terminus of the London and Bir mingham Railway, that it was her Majesty's intention to return from Stowe this afternoon, preparations were made this morning on a similar scale as at her departure, and the Directors and officers of the Company were in attendance to receive the royal party. Orders were Although the supplies of both Fruit and Vegetables here wore seasonably large, the general demand was steady, at our quotations :—Potatoes from 3s to 4s 8d per cwt; Turnips, Is 8d to 2s 9d ; Carrots, 5s to 6s 6d; Coleworts, or Greens, 2s to 3s 3d ; and Leeks, 8d to is 4d per doze's bunches ; Apples, 2s to 4s ; Pears, 3s to 4s ; Spinach, is 6d to 2s ; and Onions, Is 8d to 2s 6d per half sieve ; Pine Apples, 8s to lOs ; and Filberts and Cobb Nuts, 10d to is 3d per lb ; SaToys, is to 2s per dozen; forced Asparagus, 6s to 7s; Horse Radish, 2s to bs ; Broooli, 2s to 3s 6d ; and Celery, is to 2s 6d per bundle ; Oranges aid Lemons, 8s to lOs per 100; Seakail, is to 2s 6d per punnet. NZIWCIATE AND &MADAM:CALL. Prime Beef, Veal, and Pork sold readily, at very full prices ; but otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state. Beef from 2s 8d to 3s 6d ; Mutton, 2s 10d to 3s 8d ; Veal 3s 6d to 4s 6d ; and Pork 3s 4d to 4s 6d per 81bs. by the carcass.

There was rather more business doing in Meat at full prices. All other articles wore a dull sale, at barely previous rates. Prime Veal and Pork were in steady request at an advance of 2d per 81bs. In the value of other kinds of Meat we have no alteration to report. Beef, from 2s 8d to 3s 6d ; Mutton, 2s 10d to 3s 8d ; Veal, 3s 10d to 4s 8d ; and Pork, 3s 2d to 45 6d per Sibs. NEWPORT.

At half-past twelve o'clock a detachment of the 17th Light Dragoons (Lancers) arrived, and were accommodated by the officers of the company with a shelter under the extensive por tico. Three of the royal carriages, with outriders, ar rived at the terminus at a quarter before one o'clock. Immediately on the departure of the one o'clock down train, the platform, ante-room, and passage to the por tico, where the royal carriages were in waiting, were covered with crimson cloth. At this time, notwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather, a very great numbor of respectable persons had assembled to witness her Majesty's arrival. Pre cisely at half-past one o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Earl of Jersey Master of the Horse to the Queen; the Marchioness o r Douro, Lady in Waiting; Major-General Wemyss, Equerry in Waiting ; and Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Waiting, arrived by special train from Wolverton, and were received by the Directors, who conducted the royal party to the carriages. Her Majesty then proceeded to Cambridge House, to visit the Grand Duchess of Meek lenburgh Strelitz, and from thence by railway to Slough, en route to Windsor. Week endiNg MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.

This is the pay-day in the Consol Market ; and, although money has been in some request, we believe all has gone off satisfactorily. The immense amounts of capital that are now locked up in deposits on new lines of railway appear to produce but little effect on the rate of interest, so vast in the amount of floating capital in circulation at the present moment.

The object of this great national work is to provide adequate ac commodation and facilities for the purposes of a na tional arm, which, from its comparatively recent addition to the body of our naval force, and the singular efficiency which has been already communi cated to it, is entitled to take rank, as the most im portant application of practical science to the art of was that has been recorded in our times. Improved gunnery in combination with steam propulsion marks, assuredly, the most remarkable era in the history of navigation. This combination supersedes an infinity of simple elements of material force by material force of far higher energy, and far less complexity of action. The elements we speak of were subject to the controlling power of many opposing or dis turbing causes, physical as well as mechanical. In action, a line-of-battle ship the best built, equipped, and sailed ; the best manned and the best worked— that ever swam, through adverse winds, heavy ground-swells, or calms, or violent currents, has been frequently disabled from bringing her broadside to bear, in spite of every manoeuvre which the nautical science of her officers could suggest, or the ready intrepedity of her crew was prepared to exe cute. For similar reasons, a ship of the first or second class might be seriously battered and knocked about, with considerable loss of human life among her company, by a vessel of far inferior armament, but having the advantages of the wind, or current, &c., in her favour. So, too, after many brilliant actions, the fruits of victory have been snatched from the hands of our victorious sailors, not so much by the superior sailing qualities of the enemy's vessels, as by the skilful tactics with which the commanders of these latter have improved the opportunities of escape afforded them by a light and favouring breeze, or other circumstances assisting their evolutions—but either not aiding, or absolutely thwarting our own. It is clear that the easy and certain motive power wherewith steam can now work any ship, of what ever tonnage, so as to bring her up on any desired board, and place her in any position which the scheme of the commander's operations may have assigned her (especially with the aid of that newly invented and admirable machine, the Foularton screw-propeller, which can always, and in incredibly quick time, get her head round), it is clear that, with the mastery of this power, a revolution in the whole art of sailing and fighting vessels of war must inevitably occur. A steamer gun brig, in a calm, or in a wind baffling to the course of her mighty anta gonist, might sail round, and down upon a formidable 80-gun ship, and work off again —with little or no comparative injury to herself (owing to the imprac ticability of promptly wearing experienced by the eighty), but, after knocking about the bows or the stern of the latter with almost perfect impunity. The new great steam-frigates will not be susceptible to the operation of such adverse and discouraging chances as these. Their powerful machinery will set them at defiance, and will annihilate, for the enemy, the mere sailing probabilities of escape. In action, the odds will be incalculably in favour of the heavier armament, and more rapid and more certain evolu tions of the steam-frigate, whether for attack or for defence, as compared with the sailing man. of-war. We may instance, on this subject of armament, the effective service of her pivot-guns and the prodigious metal and calibre of the great guns of the Terrible, about to be launched from Woolwich Dockyard. The event of a contest between two war-steamers of equal armament, on this colossal scale—and assuming them to be equally well manned and officered—it is more difficult, and more fearful as well, to contemplate. One should imagine that mutual annihilation would be the probable catastrophe of such a conflict. The question here arises, is such an advance in our know ledge of the theory of destruction in maritime war fare so desirable, that it is expedient to reduce the results of that knowledge into immediate practical preparation ? This question we may decline to dis cuss, either as casuists or as moralists. As practical men, heartily desiring the establishment of un versal peace, but deeply sensible of the constant liability of nations to be involved in war we answer the question, without hesitation, in the affirmative. We hail the inception of the Steam Navy Dock, therefore, at Portsmouth, and the build- ing and launching of such war steamer frigates as the Terrible, as satisfactory evidences that our Board of Admiralty recognises all its vast responsibi. lay, in times like these, for the security and gran deur of the British empire, so far as these are liable, at any moment, to be attacked through our navy. We feel that the voice of huma nity, as well as the vindication of these great interests, demands that whenever we may be, unhap• pily, again embarked in a war, we should be ade quately prepared to abridge its term by the tremen dous efficiency of our armament. The best hopes for the permanency of peace are identified with the force and vigour of our preparations for war. The experi ence of the last thirty years has amply demonstrated that England, of all the great Powers of the civilised world, is most to be depended on for her sincerity, as well as her strength, in the noble capacity of the con- servator of national peace. But this post she would - - not have occupied, had she not, under the late Go- vernment, so irresistibly shown, by :her naval demonstrations, her unquestionable condition to meet the exigencies of any war. We are well pleased, therefore, to observe her taking the lead, among all the maritime Powers, in the march of pre paration for any such calamitous exigency as a war that must be sanguinary, we fear, whenever it shall come, but which it is well for mankind should not be protracted. In this matter of constructing and equipping, and providing accommodation for a war steamer navy, the first -prepared combatant will also he the best prepared. That advantage which priority of preparation gives will receive its crowning security, we trust, in the vigilant care of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment to continue making good that superiority of I progress which they have so well commenced, so long as the unscrupulous jealousy of some States, or the till.• MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) A DESPERATE BEGGAR.—John Ellis, a very powerful i young man , an d a f ema l e, who passes as hi s w i fe, were. charged w ith b egg i ng. between PI x andseven 0 , 0 i ce - s c i on Police-constable, ta bI e, No. 2 Bcl o c f k the last a C evening saw the prisoners begging, in company together, in Pall-mall. The male prisoner had his arm in a sling, and actually follo we d two gent l emen i nto one o c , the club-houses. He was then taken into custody, w'nen he resisted, and it was with the greatest difficA t y he was overpowered. In the cell he twice brolcq the handcuffs off his wrists. There was nothing wha:ercr the matter with his arm. 1 Wm. Horsford, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity Society ; stated that the prisoner was a noto rious begging impostor, and had been several times con victed. Mr. HARBVIICK sent him for another three months, and the female for one. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A tall powerful-looking man, named Richard Johntx, was charged as follows : The fellow went into the eating-house of Mr. Clarnin, in the Hornsey-road, yesterday, and having regaled W n . self sumptuously on the best the house could fi ltn i sh, drank seven pints of porter. He had no sooner finished the last pint th an h e ca ll e d f or tea, rashers, tier', eggs, and ordered them to b e go t rea dy by the time he h e d fi n i shed this meal ; the landlord, however, refused to serve him with more until the former reckoning was paid. The prisoner said he wanted change of a 54 note, but having no such thing, nor any other species of money on hi person, was given into custody. Mr. GREENWOOD discharged the gormandiser. LAMBETH. —(THIS DAY.) Upon the lion, Mr. Norton taking his seat this morn ing on the bench, the Magistrate was informed that about half-past six o'clock last night a most determined at tempt was made by five prisoners, confined in one of the cells of th e new Court, to make their' escape, and which was very nearly successful. Last night the five prisoners were locked up in the cell, waiti ng f or the arrival of the van. Cook, the gaolor, hearing an unusual noise, went to the cell in which the prisoners were confined, and soon ascertained that they had succeeded in removing the whole of the iron lattice work attached to the windows, and in a very few minutes more the whole of the prisoners must have got clear off.

FAA IN AlartymEnoNE..=-Thie morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Rusherbrook, a tailor, carrying on business at No. 19, High-street, Marylebone, nearly opposite the entrance to the police-office. It appeared that, about two o'clock, a Policeman, on duty in High-street, observed a bright light, apparently in the back of the premises. Shortly afterwards smok e i ssue d f rom t h e crev i ces in the door, when he gave an alarm, and the inmates had scarcely time to put on portions of clothing and proceed into the street, when the flames burst forth with considerable fury, and soon ascended to the first floor. In a minutes five engines were on the spot, and a plentifu if l supply of water being at h an d, the fire was got under shortly after three o'clock. Th e whole of the property in the lower part of the premises was destroyed, the upper portion of the house not being much earnaged, except by the water poured in at the windows. We believe Mr. Rusherbrook is insured. It is n o t k nown how the fire originated, MUNIFICENT B E NE vo Fran ces At kyns, of baton-place, yesterday sent 100/. ii aid of the funds of that valuable charity the Royal Free gospital for the destitute sick, in Gray's Inn-road.
