BOTV-STREET. it the eourse of Fiilay afternoon, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, named /fri.llium Toole, residing at 2, Milton-street, in the City, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Stevens, and other constables of the A division, charged with using threatening language towards Sir Robert Peel on Thursday night, with sending him a threatening letter; and also sending another letter of a similar character to Lord Eliot, the Secretary of State for Ireland. The prisoner seemed to have suffered much from privation, and being placed at the bar conducted himself in an orderly manner, without offering to interrupt the witnesses while giving their evidence. Constable 244 A division stated, that being on duty about six o'clock on Thursday evening in Whitehall-gardens, the pi isoner came to him and inquired if Sir Robert Peel had yet gone down to the House of Commons. He replied that lie thought he had not yet left his house, but if he wanted to deliver anything to him, lie might leave it with the porter in the ball, and it would certainly reach him ; upon which the prisoner said, in an excited manner—" `o; I have already written, but find that it is of no use, and, therefore, I must make him feel another way." Witness instantly laid hold of him and conveyed him to the station. The inspector said the prisoner would have been brought before the Court at an earlier period, instead of having been confined such a length of time, but it was deemed necessary to make some inquiries respecting his profession and mode of living, from which it appeared that lie had been attached to the horse patrol in Ireland, and, having resigned his situa tion, arrived in London in the month of February last, in the Devonshire steamer, being induced by a female to take such a course, under the impression that he could in a short time better his condition in England. Having made inquiries on his journey where he could procure comfortable lodgings, he was directed to the house of Mrs. Riley, in Milton-street, where lie had resided up to the present time, for which she had made no charge, and occasionally supplied hint with small sums of money, until he could succeed in procuring employment. The several letters produced, which were di rected to Sir R. Peel and Lord Eliot, were found at his lodg ings and on his person. Another had been received from him by Sir Robert, and two others by Lord Eliot, in one of which the following appears " I have often thought of destroying myself, but another thought has now taken possession of my mind. I will per petrate an act which will make a noise in the world. I will produce a change in the government of countries, and thereby gain for myself notoriety—unenviable notoriety. Your Lord ship will say, Be it so.' Is it not better to die thus, than be like a vegetable, unseen and unnoticed? I feel I have an im mortal spirit—l feel already as conqueror.—Yours, &c. " WILLIAM TOOLE." The next letter was directed to Lord Eliot, part of which was couched in the following terms : " I have been more than three months in London, and am now starving. I have done everything in my power to pro cure bread. I have attended at the East India Decks at half past seven every morning, and also the West India Docks at eight o'clock, but there was no employment for me. My nund and body are sinking fast. I have an idea to destroy myself, but another thought has passed across me. I will perform an act that shall change the government of countries. 1 on will say it is unenviable notoriety ; be it so ; I shall abide the consequences.—Yours, &c., "WILLIAM TOOLE." The third letter, which was sent to Sir Robert Peel, and delivered up to the inspector, was next read, a part of which ran thus : "My situation is no longer bearable. My nerves are shat tered—my mind unhappy.—l am, your obedient servant, " WM. TOOLE!' Mr. JARDINE observed it would be necessary that some witness should prove the letters produced were in the hand writing of the prisoner. The inspector replied that a messenger from the Irish office was in attendance to prove that he delivered a letter to Lord Eliot, which had been given to him by the prisoner for that purpose, in addition to which he wrote down his address at the station-house, and the writing corresponded in every particular with the letters. The prisoner, in a very cool manner, said that all the letters read had been written and sent by him, at the same time ad mitting that the remaining portion was also written by him, adding, " As you have directed such letters as bear upon the charge against me to be read, perhaps you will allow the testimonials in the possession of the inspector to be read also, as they mention that my character has always been a good and sound one. Distress has driven me to these acts, and I was maddened in consequence of the distress I was reduced to." Mr. JARDINE, in accordance with the prisoner's request, examined the several documents in the possession of the officer, among which were testimonials from several police officers in Ireland ; from Alderman Darley, chief magistrate of Dublin, who stated that the prisoner had served in the force with credit to himself and honour to the horse patrol for several years, that he had resigned of his own free will and consent, and his departure was a subject of regret to the officers and the authorities generally, in consequence of his being such an efficient officer. Another certificate was from Mr. Fred. Shaw, the Recorder of Dublin, to whom the pri soner was known for sixteen years. Mr. JARDINE said it was a most extraordinary circum stance how a man having in his possession such documents, which appeared to be genuine, could be guilty of such rash conduct. There was no doubt of the prisoner's evil inten tion, by the mariner in which he addressed the constable, in addition to the spirit in which the letters were written, and it was his duty to take steps to prevent him doing in jury to any person for the future, by ordering him to put in bail, himself in the sum of 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, to be of good behaviour, and to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, but particularly towards Sir R. Peel and Lord Eliot, for the next 12 months. The prisoner—The bail you have ordered me to find is out of my power to procure, as I am a total stranger, but perhaps you would allow the duplicate of my watch and the other articles to be delivered up to my landlady, to whom I am indebted, and from whom I have experienced every kind ness since my arrival in this country. Mr. JARDINE said there could be no objection to delivEr the articles applied for. The inspector said he found two knives upon the prisoner, which were ordered to be detained. The prisoner was then removed to the cells, where he con ducted himself very orderly, until the arrival of the van at six o'clock, when he was removed to Tothill-fields Prison. we left the Gambia on the 29th of February, and arrived at the Nunez on the evening of the 4th of March. Our boats were manned and armed, and sent to the assistance of the steamer, Captain Bosanquet himself proceeding up the river on the 7th, and remaining until the 9th; he succeeded in effecting a reconciliation, and entered into a treaty of peace; but, nevertheless, we have left a party of soldiers on board the Albert to keep quietness. We reached Sierra Leone again on the 14th March—all well, there being not the least sickness on board. We expect shortly to proceed northward, as far as the Cape de Verde Isles, and then cruise between them and Cape Mount until June, after which we go to the Bights of Benin and Biafra, in order to escape the wet season here. We get our letters better from Sierra Leone than any other part of the coast, otherwise we prefer the southward." Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain A. Milne, was paid advance of wages on Tuesday. Her Majesty's ship America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, will be ready for sea very shortly, the alteration of her channels having been completed on Tuesday. It is ex pected she will go into the Sound on Wednesday next. Her Majesty's packet Penguin, 6, Lieut. Walter Leslie, having taken on board six months' stores, and undergone some night repairs, sailed for Falmouth on Wednesday. She takes the Brazilian mail of July. Her Majesty's cutter Snipe, Lieut. George Raymond, sailed on Tuesday for the Cove of Cork, to resume her station on the coast of Ireland. Her Majesty's steamer Dee, Master-Commander T. Driver, sailed on Saturday last with stores for the Cove of Cork. Her Majesty's steam-tug Contiance was taken out of dock on Monday last. Ships in Harbour—San Josef, 110, Captain Burgoyne; America, 50, Captain the Hon John Gordon ; Confiance, steamer. In the Sound--Caledonia, 120, Captain Alex. Mile. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S GRAND BALL. Oa Friday his Grace the Duke of Devonshire gave his first grand ball for the season at Devonshire House, which was honoured by the presence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and about eight hundred members of the aristocracy, including nearly the whole elite of the fashion able world. The grand suite of saloons, comprising thirteen apartments, Here thrown open on the occasion, for the first time since the magnificent improvements recently effected under the super intendence of his Grace. The rooms were ornamented with fragrant shrubs and the most choice exotics, and illuminated by an infinity of wax lights tastefully arranged; the marble staircase and ball being likewise adorned with a profusion of plants and flowers. The company began to arrive about half-past ten, and be fore eleven the ball-room was filled, when dancing commenced to Weippert's, band, led by Mr. Charles Coote, pianiste to his Grace. Amongst the most attractive dances of the evening was the Polka, a new arrangement of which had been spe cially prepared for the occasion by Mr. Coote.

The General Assembly opened its proceedings to .day with the usual pomp and circumstance. In the forenoon his Grace the Lord High Commissioner held a levee in the Throne-room of Holyrood Palace, which was attended by a very numerous company. Among those present were—the Earl of Selkirk, the Earl of Strathmore, Lord Ruthven, the Lord Provost and Magistrates, the Moderator, Principal Lee, Sir Robert Aber cromby, Sir James Ramsay, Sir Ralph Anstruther, Sir T. D. Lauder, Sir P. M. Thriepland, Sir William Hamilton, Sir Wil liam Liston Foulis, Sir C. G. Stuart Monteath, Sir Neil Douglas and Staff; Dr. Cook, Dr. Arnot, Dr. Brown, Greenock, and a number of clergymen. besides a numerous list of military officers, landed proprietors, and the gentry of the city. The band of the Cameronians, with a company of the same regiment, was on duty at the Palace ; and on the levee being finished, his Grace, with the usual cortege, pro ceeded from the Palace to the High Church to hear sermon by the Moderator ; he was escorted by a guard of honour from the Scots Greys, and preceded by the band of the Cara bineers. The Not th Bridge was lined by the Cameronians and by the Scots Greys, and the High -street to St. Giles's Church, by the Greys and the Carabineers. The procession from the Palace attracted as usual a great crowd of spectators along the whale line; and the brilliancy of the equipages, the fine appearance of the troops, both ca valry and infantry, joined to the beauty of the day, gave an effect to the cavalcade which has not been witnessed for some years. After sermon by Principal Macfarlan, his Grace proceeded to the new Assembly Hall, when Dr. Macfarlan took the chair, and opened the Assembly by prayer. Ile then ad dressed the meeting, congratulated them on being able to meet in the elegant hall provided for their accommodation, thanked the members of the last Assembly and the Church at large for the kindness they had shown him in electing him to the office of Moderator last year, and concluded by pro posing the Rev. Principal Lee as his successor in the Mode rator's chair, on whose talents and accomplishments he passed a high eulogium. The proposition was hailed by loud cries of " Agree, agree ;" and Principal Lee was introduced and took the Moderator's chair. Her Majesty's appointment of his Grace the Lord High Commissioner, and her letter to the Church of Scotland, were then read ; after which His GRACE addressed the Assembly, and intimated that her Majesty had directed him to state that 2,000/. should be placed in the hands of the Assembly, for the promotion of Christian knowledge and the principles of the reformed reli gion in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. This being the first occasion when the Assembly was able to occupy their new building, he felt the more grateful. that her Ma jesty had been pleased to select him on this occasion as her Commissioner.—(Applause.) The greatest pains had been taken to arrange the adjoining apartments for their conve nience, and he hoped that that end had been attained. He trusted that their Church would continue, under the Divine blessing, to hold her Assemblies in this place for many many years, and that she would prove alike the best security for the liberties of the people and for the authority of the Crown.—(Great applause.) The MODERATOR begged leave, in name of the General Assembly, to return her Majesty their warmest thanks for her munificent donation of 2,000/. for the promotion of Chris tian knowledge in the Highlands and Islands. They would take an early opportunity .of returning a duffel and loyal answer to her Majesty's gracious letter, as it was particularly incumbent on them to express their gratitude for her Majesty's frequent recognition of her solemn pledge when she ascended the throne, that she bound herself to main tain the Church of Scotland in all its rights and privileges. He begged leave also to state, on the part of the Assembly, that t hey hailed his Grace's re-appearance among them as the representative of her Majesty. He had conferred many be nefits upon the Church of Scotland, not only in times of prosperity and tranquillity but in seasons of troub le and perplexity; and he (the Aioderator) trusted the Assembly would merit the approbation of one who had ever been a firm and decided friend of the National Church. In adverting to the elegant building in which they were now met, he could not help expressing a fervent and earnest hope that in this place, through future generations, the Lord God of hosts would command peace ; and that, added to all the embellish ments which belonged to the spot, they might hope to see the Lord, the Head of th e Church, spread over them the buckler of his protection, like the pillar of cloud and fire over the hosts of Israel, and that over all the glory there should be a defence.—(Applause.) The Assembly then proceeded to appoint various Commit tees, and transact other matters of routine, and adjourned about half-past three o'clock. The Assembly of the Fr ee Ch u rch met this forenoon, in Tanfield Ihll, Canonmills, when, after sermon by the last Moderator, the Rev. Henry Grey, of Edinburgh, was elected Moderator for the ensuing year.—Edinburgh Courant. LATEST FROM CHINA. (From the Devonport Independent.) Wo have received letters, by the Overland Mail , from our correspondent at Hong-Kong, dated February 14th, 1844, from which we make the following extracts : " A Court-martial was held on board H.M.S. Minden, on the sth January, to try two seamen for desertion, Rear-Ad miral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Knight, C.B„ being President. They were found guilty, and sentenced to receive 100 lashes each. " Jan, 9th,—This morning, one of those mournful spec tacles which used to be very common during the revolu tionary war, took place at Hong-Kong—that of flogging the two deserters through the fleet. There were altogether four teen boats manned and armed. At daylight a gun was fired from the Agincourt, and the yellow flag (which, I under stand, is the signal for punishment) hoisted at her fore-top gallant-mast-head, and kept there until it was over. It was rather an astonishing sight to the natives, although many of their punishments are more severe. " Vice-Admiral Sir Win. Parker, the Commander-in-Chief left Manilla, for Singapore, in the Cornwallis, on the 2d January, so that he will not return to China. "The Emperor, transport, which was supposed to .be lost, having been ninety days on her passage from Anger, the run being generally made in a fortnight or three weeks, has been found in a very crippled state. " Lieutenant Hancock has been appointed to the Minden, Mr. Wise, late clerk of the Cornwallis, has gone to England in the Childers. " Jan. 31st.—Lord Saltoun embarked on board the Dido to-day.

The concerts given by the Sacred Harmonic Society at Exeter-hall were resumed on Friday evening, under the most favourable auspices. Mr. George Perry's beautiful oratorio of the Death of Abel was selected for the evening's enter tainment. The Hall was numerously and fashionably at • tended, as usual. The vocal performance, with but one ex ception, was composed of native talent, Herr Staudigl being the only foreigner amongst the professionals. His re-appear ance caused much delight, but it would be unjust to say that the approbation of the audience was lessened in consequence towards his friendly rivals, among whom were Miss Rain forth, Miss Poole, Hobbs, Manvers, and Phillips. The fol lowing was the programme : PART I. Introduction. Recit The vapours of dank night. Air Rejoice, 0 my beloved. Recit Solo and Chorus Recit. These are thy Works 0 God. Air 0 thou Omnipotent. Hdar'st thou not Eve. Quartett and Chorus Recit. What sounds of joy. Air Recit Air 0 dearest Father. Recit ..... What means this sternness. Air Recit Air 0 Cain. Recit. .. Chorus Recit.

Recit Recit Turn not away. Duet Chorus 'tecit What hath my fury done. .... . . Recit. Air and Chorus A vengeance. Recit. ... Gracious and Righteous. Air Recit. To the just God. Chorus The Death of Abel, as s performance, has been so often criticised, and acknowledged to rank high in the musical world, that an elaborate comment upon it in the present in stance as a whole is superfluous ; suffice it, therefore, that the melodies are elegant and flaming, and light and spirited by turns. The ear is first charmed by a quiet serenity, the heart pants with the impress of a holy fear, and then swells forth with a burst of praise to the Almighty; anon we feel the approach of the dark hour, in which man slew his fellow man, and the mind is led to reflect upon the infinite power of the Creator, and the meek and helpless state of mortal existence in itself. The remorse and repentance of Cain is then pour trayed ; and finally the chorus bursts forth in a gust of me lody—" Give the Lord the honour due unto his name." The soft, the pathetic, and the triumphant, follow with harmonious rivalry—all has been perfect, and the oratorio is finished with the just approbation of the scientific, as well as with that of the humble amateur. Miss Rainforth sang with her accustomed sweetness and power. Herr Standigl was able to prove the brilliancy of his voice in the part assigned him, to which the audience re sponded. Mr. Phillips was effective throughout, and appears to improve upon acquaintance, though he has long been a favourite. Miss Poole, Hobbs, and Manvers, each sang with effective precision and discernment. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 17.—Mr. William Peel, third son of the Premier, and mate of the Excellent, has been appointed Lieutenant, after having gone through the course of instruc tion given in that ship, and passed the probationary exami nation, with a degree of credit before unheard of—nine hun dred and ten is the number which marks the utmost possible proficiency in gunnery, and Mr. Peel obtained nine hundred and eight ; 270 is the highest number for navigation, and he obtained 260 ; l4 months is the time allotted for the course— it never was before accomplished under nine months—Mr. Peel passed the examination in five months and four days. The Bonetta, brigantine, Commander Brock, and Sparrow, ketch, wore put out of dock yesterday at Chatham, and masted. t The ay ,and Janus, s team-vessel,ito Chatham Dockave her n Monday, onbooilersiepnudtay,t board be taken into coppered and fitted for sea. [he Muting and Espiegle, new 12-gun experimental brigs at Chatham, are both nearly rigged, and will be undocked in a fortnight. Great exertions are being used at Chatham to fit for sea, as soon as possible, the Cruizer, 16 guns, and the Retribution, steam-frigate. The Ariel, lighter, has been repaired, and will sail to-day from Chatham for Woolwich. The Prussian ship Wilhelm, from Dentate, Volcken master, arrived at Chatham on Wednesday with timber for the dock yard. Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain R. F. Rowley, bearing the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., went out of harbour yesterday at eleven o'clock. This occurrence (the weather being remark ably fine) drew all the sight-seeing community to the Plat form Battery, the ramparts, the Victoria Pier, &c., all which places were thronged with fashionable and well-dressed people. The Gosport side—the pier and beach, were similarly occupied by a numberless crowd of people. The wind was fair, but extremely light. The St. Vincent, after letting go her warps and under all sail, moved majestically slow to the narrow pot or mouth of the harbour, where, not stemming the the tide, she Rent boats a head to tow : these had, no effect on her, and the Echo steamer took her in tow.' When abreast of the Platform, the admirable band of the Royal Marines, stationed there for the purpose, struck up "Rule W 44110110 which was responded to by the St. Vin cent's band playing f' clod save the Queen." At this time the light wind suddenly shifted to the mall - west, which obliged her to furl her sails, and the Echo towed her to Spithead, where she dropped her anchor on the spot formerly occupied by the wreck seam Royal George (now cleared aw A n ay by thber e ingenuity and netSeVetallee of General Paste y). um of yachts of the gentlemen of the Royal Yacht Club, and various bargee and boats, containing parties of ladies and gentle Men, attended the St. Vincent out of harbour, and large party of ladies and gentlemen went out to Spithead in 1 that ship. Admiral Sir C. Rowley did not go put in the St. Vincent. We are sorry to say he is suffering from an attack of his old complaint. The Rattlesnake, Master Corn. R. Brown, was towed into harbour by the EehO, to pay off. The Prometheus was undocked yesterday, and commis sioned to-day by Commander John Hay. The Rapid, 10-gun brigantine, Lieut. Corn, Edward C, Earle (about the safety of which vessel the public journals have lately ezpressed doubts), was left by the Rattlesnake on the 25th of March last, refitting at the island of Ascen sion ; all well, By a letter we have seen from one of her officers, we learn that she has been most actively and success fully employed on the African coast, On the lull of February last, she had a dashing affair with a Spanish slaver, completely armed, which she captured with her boats in the River Rim bia. The boats had to sustain a long galling flre of musketry in pulling up the river, but when they got alongside the slave crew ran below and cried for mercy, It was a gallant affair, and the crew of the Rapid appear to have behaved with much courage. One man was killed and two wounded. The Rapid lies been on the coast two years, during which time she has captured seven slave vessels, containing 1,288 slaves. The letter before mentioned, speaking of one of the slave vessels captured, states that her deck was only four feet from deck to beam, where the slaves were literally stowed In bulk, men, women, and children all huddled together; that the effluvia ascending up the hatchway was not approachable from the extreme filth, heat, moisture, and stench from the slave-deck, w h ere s everal poor creatures were found dead, trodden under feet by the living; that nO imagination can paint the suffer ings filet these poor miserable Africans undergo ; and that in general all the vessels captured partook more or less a the deplorable condition of this one he particularised ; that ire. morality, disease, and death were prevalent In all of them. The Rapid was preparing for another cruise, and we under stand is such a good sailer that no vessel escapes her. The Victoria and Albert received the new tubular boilers on W e d nes d a y, and has again been taken into the covered dock : she ie now taking in her Wits, and w ill progress in her new paint and gilding so soon as the engineers 44Te a - justed the enginery. The old boilers are being put into the ship which brought the others from Woolwieh, to be taken back to that arsenal. The Collingwood is fast progressing; she has been fitted with the newly invented tops. These consist of two pieces ; the square or after part is sent up first a mere skeleton, the flooring or boardi or the top . being sent up afterwards, and are made to fit like hatches in pallets. 'Po fPTP PT Ffilillhd part of the top is a separate piece, and is joined to the square part by hinges, which permit it to flap back under the cap 414*et the topmast, which in light wind or calm weather will prevent the topsail binding and chafing against the top rim.

Her Majesty's birth day will be celebrated at Claremont. His Majesty the King of Saxony is expected to arrive in England, upon a visit to her Majesty, either at the end of this month or the commencement of June. His Majesty will be received by the Queen, upon his arrival, at Bucking ham Palace. In the event of her Majesty's illustrious guest not reaching this country until after the 29th instant, it is the Queen's intention to remain at Claremont until the Wed nesday in Whitsun week. The King of Saxony, after remaining a short time at Buckingham Palace, and spending a few days with her Majesty, as it is expected, at Windsor Castle, will make a tour, for some three weeks or a month through the provinces, which it is not improbable may be extended to the mining districts in some of the Welsh counties, and also to a portion of the more southern Scotch counties, including the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is not now expected that the Queen under any circum stances will honour the Eton Montem with her presence on Whit-Tuesday. The expectation is (in the event of the arrival of the King of Saxony being delayed beyond that period) that Prince Albert will leave Claremont early on that morning, take breakfast with the Reverend the Provost and the authorities of the college, and proceed thence to Salt hill, to witness the ceremony of flourishing the flag on the mount. His Royal Highness will afterwards return to her Majesty at Claremont. Notwithstanding that these are at present the arrange ments which have been decided upon, the authorities of Eton College still indulge the hope that (the weather being favourable, and her Majesty continuing in the enjoyment of her usual good health) this celebrated triennial festival may yet be honoured with the presence of the Sovereign. Tun WEATHER. -- A sudden change of tempera ture took place on Thursday, when the thermometer fell nearly twenty degrees lower than it was on the previous day. The weather still continues cold and boisterous. Last night the temperature in London was only two degrees above freezing, and this day, at noon, the thermometer marked forty-two, being twenty-seven degrees lower than on some days during the present week. DEATH CAUSED BY A LUCIFER MATO:I.—Mr. Wakley on Friday held an inquest at the Lord Portman, Broadley-terrace, Dorset-square, on the body of Maryanne Martha Benyon, aged three years and a half. About two o'clock in the afternoon of Monday week, deceased's sister was left in charge of deceased and a younger child, whilst her father and mother went to fetch some linen to wash. The deceased was playing with her doll near the fender, and all of a sudden she screamed, and witness then saw her pinafore in flames. She called up a lodger, and with much difficulty they were extinguished, but not before the deceased was burnt about the neck and breast in a frightful manner. The remains of a lucifer match were found on the floor, and it was witness's belief that deceased had picked one up, and having ignited it, the tire caught her clothes. She lingered until Tuesday evening last, when she expired. Verdict, " Acci dental death." We have reasons for surmising that a new move is ust about to be made, more startling than any which has yet occurred in these exciting times. What will be thought of a new London and Birmingham Railway, guaranteed by the Great Western and Grand Junction jointly ? Stranger things have come to pass ; but a few days will make a reve lation, and show how well we get into the " secrets of the pri son-house."--Railway Record. SINGULAR DEATH.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Waklev, M.P., at the Horse and Groom, King street, Seven-dialB on the body of William Duncan, aged forty-eight, who expired on Tuesday last. When the jury went to view the body they had some difficulty in obtaining an entrance, as the room was full of company, assembled to wake the body. It appeared from the evidence that the de ceased was in the employ of an undertaker, and resided at No. 1, New Turnstile. On Tuesday last he hailed an omnibus from his residence, and placed a coffin on the top, saying to the driver and conductor, " Here is a coffin for one of us three." He then got inside. After the omnibus had pro ceeded as far as Compton-street, Soho, the conductor looked at the deceased, and was so much struck with the change in his countenance that he stopped the vehicle. The deceased opened the door himself and got down, and then became in sensible. He was conveyed into the shop of Mr. Fitzgerald, a surgeon, in High-street, and placed on a chair, where he bled profusely at the mouth and nose, and died in about two minutes, although every effort was made to save him. Mr. Fitzgerald gave it as his opinion that death was caused by the rupture of some large artery in the chest, and the jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." FRIGIITFUL ACCIDENT.—The Archbishop of Ar magh's carriage, on Thursday night, shortly before ten o'clock, met with and occasioned accidents that, it is to be feared, will be attended, if not with fatal, at least with very serious results. It appears that his Grace was proceeding in his carriage across IN estininster-bridge, when the horses be came unmanageable, and dashed off at frightful speed, and in a moment came in collision with a cab, then with a second, and lastly with an omnibus, directly in front of Mr. Painter's, the Horseshoe and Magpie, in Bridge-street. The force with which the carriage struck these several vehicles caused the most extensive damage, and the drivers were thrown and se riously injured. In the confusion attendant on the sudden ness of the accident, it was difficult to obtain a very exact ac count of the various injuries that resulted. The Archbishop's carriage was itself at length thrown over on its side, and the coachman hurled with great violence from his box. Assis tance was immediately at hand, and his Grace was taken out at the window. It proved, fortunately, that the Archbishop . was not injured, though mueh alarmeci. His coachman, and, as was stated, some others who had also received injuries from the accident, were taken immediately to the hospital. STRANGE DEATH.—On Thursday Mr. J. Payne, Deputy Coroner for London and Southwark, held an Inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the body of James Brown, aged 29, a journeyman tailor. It appeared by the evidence of Henry Blundell, a waiter at a beer-shop, No. 70, Leather lane, that on Saturday fortnight deceased called on him, and they began to play at a game called " puff the dart." The game is played with a long needle inserted worsted 2.114 blown at a taro. tin tin's. Peomed plate, i.pP the Wreila ell AT toe tube, and drawing s hreat. t strongly to putt it with greater fbrce afterwards, he swallowed it, and asked witness what he should do ?

(6 . 10 . liihrriagQ 'or ttiO )allover born July sth, 1771—and the Grand Duchess Dowager of Me c kl en b urg Schwerin—born February 28, 1 803—has been revived, and gaiug credit iu our Weer circloa, EXETER HALL PETS. (From Punch.) Religion, like fancy, has her peculiar f av o ur it es . Ladies and gentlemeh have, among the various heathen, their pet proselytes, just as among birds and dogs they have their pet macaws, their pet poodles. It is an adage old as truth—whose register of birth was not lost at the flood—that the human heart must love something ; hence, beautiful is it, in this balmy month of May, to see crowds of lovers—spiritual lovers we mean—as cending the chrystal steps of Exeter Hall, to testify their affection for the benighted sons and daughters of earth thousands and thousands of miles away. Elastic, indeed, are human heart-strings, for they stretch from pole to pole. Indeed, with many of the worthy people of Exeter Hall, distance is essential to love. Just as connoisseurs take, a backward step truly to consider the beauties of a picture, do many of these good folks require distance to see the miseries of human nature through an attractive medium. They have no taste for the destitution of the alley that abuts upon their dwell ing-place, but how they glow—how they kindle at the misery somewhere in Africa ! Familiarity truly begets contempt. The famishing shoe-binder or sempstress is a homely common-place ; the benighted Chinese an exotic darling. With some folks sympathy, like Madeira, is all the better fur a sea voyage. We have said that proselyte-mongers have their spe cial pets ; among them, the Hebrew people bear a great price. Hence, as was shown at a late meeting, upwards of 25,000/. are annually subscribed for the conversion of the Jews at Jerusalem, Hebron, Beyrout, Constan tinople, Smyrna, and we know not at how many other places promising in apostacy. We must confess, we should like to see a fair balance-sheet of this account. We should like to know the exact number of converted Hebrews, that we.,,might arrive at something like the market-price of a renegade Jew. We own it ;we more than fear that he is a great luxury ; a bird of Paradise of exceeding cost. Hence, we confess it, we would have our gentle countrywomen retrench their outlay on the foreign curiosity, that they might better afford to buy up somewhat of the misery produced at home. A day or two after the meeting was held of these be nevolent people whose hearts yearn for the Jews in Sa pet and Strasburgh, there appeared in the papers—but then the tragedy happened at No. 1, Angel-court, Long acre, not a quarter of a mile from Exeter Hall—an ac count of the death of one Mary Wall, aged 35. She died famished. J'ohn Bitton, of St. Martin's Work house, testified as follows : " On opening the door of a room on the ground floor, or, more properly speaking, a lumber room, there being no floor to it, he found the deceased lying on her face on the earth, her body covered with shavings, and her head resting on part of an old basket similar to a wine•merchant's hamper. She was groaning, and seemedlquite insensible." Mr. Leonard, surgeon to the out-door poor of St. Martin's, deposed :—" On being taken to the workhouse, remedies were used to restore animation ; but she never rallied, and died within twenty-four hours after. The place where deceased &ph emitted a most noisome smell from the quantity of decayed garden-stuff. On making a post mortem examination, he found inflam mation of both lungs, which no doubt arose from the non-application for medical assistance ; which, together with her not receiving any domestic comforts, and lying on the bare and cold ground alone and neglected, pro duced extreme exhaustion, of which she died." _ _ _ It must, however, he allowed that the death of the woman was doubtless accelerated by her determination not to go into the workhouse ; nevertheless, had we societies as actively benevolent in the Angel-courts of London and our great towns as in Constantinople and Smyrna—had we home missionaries of charity to tempt the foetid dangers of Seven Dials and Spitalfields, could these scenes of horror be enacted ? But then there is this bar to the zeal of the philanthropic—both Seven Dials and Spitaifields are close at hand ; they are real, tang►ble foulness ; the eye turns from them—the nostril shrinks at them ; whilst what a picturesqueness invests Constantinople—what a halo of beauty does distance cast about Jerusalem ! Again ; consider the great difference between the objects to be succoured. The dwellers of English lanes and alleys are common, vulgar things ; creatures of foul and violent speech ; commonplace in their very rags and ghastliness. But the Jews—the spiritually forlorn of Jerusalem. Oh, the evangelical imagination clothes them with the mystic beauty of the place ; up lifts and sublimates them by the magic of re ligious fervour, and the very tatters of the He brew become rareand beautiful as Joseph's coat of many colours. And so, soft-hearted ladies and gentlemen, rapt by the forlornness of the far-off Jew, write their cheques, or put their money in the plate, too deliciously possessed by the sweet apostate in the distance ever to dream of the famishing Christian at their right hand. Could we but transport our destitute population to China or to Africa, we have no doubt that many English Samaritans would then be marvellously piteous of them. Oh, ye miserable Christians, who hunger and waste un visited in English lanes and cellars—why are ye not Jews, glorified by distance, dwelling at Beyrout and Hebron ? On the last meeting of the Society in question, the Bishop of Winchester preached a sermon. Eloquent no doubt was the discourse ; heart-touching, pocket-pene trating. We would, however, that his Grace—if only for one round—would visit the Angel-courts of London : the pilgrimage might, we think, give an impetus to the sluggish imaginations of those who think that true misery, real mental darkness, is only to be found, like their fine hyson, in a far country. Allowing, however, that it is necessary to the apo plectic philanthropy of some folks to bleed their purses for the heathen, we think that at least the Jews might be left as they are until every other unbeliever should be converted. Here, Madam—you who at the last meeting in vested five pounds in apostate Jews—here is a map of the world. Cast your eye over it. Here is the poor Esquirnaux doomed to whale-blubber and a soul-blight ing creed —here the Red Man—here the Hottentot — here the New Zealander—here people on people, and tribe on tribe, all in utmost darkness. Enlighten them, and then, if you will, begin with the Hebrew. Mean while, for ourselves—we confess it—we have more than a sneaking respect for a people who had Moses for a leader and a law-giver. We rarely meet a long-bearded Rabbi that he does not carry our thoughts to the plains of Mamre—to the first patriarchs of the first nation. And ye, who would convert the Jews, first copy the Jew's great virtue—first take care of your own poor; feed and clothe them, and then, if you will, with the superfluity make proselytes of the Hebrew. Mean while, with misery wasting thousands of our fellow- Christians at our very doors, we hold the subscription of large sums of money for, at best, the questionable con version of the Jew, as the offering of a miserable, morbid egetism; and should still think so of the purpose, though the whole bench of Bishops wagged their silver tongues in aid of it. CANDIDATES FOR THE BAR. We are informed that the Benchers of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, in following the course acted upon by two other learned societies, have recently adopted the after-mentioned regulations, for the purpose, we appre bend, Of securing a standard degree of talent and character in admissions to the bar. It is well known that of late years the bar has been too easily accessible, and no doubt a pro cess of expurgation at the present day would be attended with beneficial results. It appears that in Trinity Term, 1789, an order was made by the then members of the bench of the Inner Temple, and that the then Benchers of the Middle Temple, in adopting the same, ordered, "That from and after that time no articled clerk, either to an attorney or solicitor, or to a clerk in the Court of Chancery or Court of Exchequer, ought to be called to the bar until his articles shall either have expired or been cancelled for the space of two whole years, and stating that it was then ordered by the Masters of the Bench then present that the said resolution should be confirmed and adopted as the rule of that society, in all future applications of such articled clerks to be called to the bar." We now find that, in con formity with certain stringent rules elsewhere adopted, the Bench of the Middle Temple has ordered that for the future " No attorney-at-law, solicitor, writer to the Signet, or writer of the Scotch Courts, proctor, notary, or Parliamentary agent, or person acting as such, and no clerk of or to any barrister, conveyancer, special pleader, attorney, solicitor, writer to the Signet, or writers of the Scotch Courts, proctor, notary, or Parliamentary agent, clerk in Chancery, or other officer in any court of law or equity, whether such clerk be articled or in the receipt of salary, or of other remuneration for his ser vices, shall be allowed to keep commons in the hall of this society, available for the purpose of being called to the bar, whether such person be .already, or may hereafter become a member of this So ciety, until such person, being an attorney, shall have taken his name off the rolls, nor until he and every other person above-named or described shall have ceased to act or practise as such attorney, writer to the Signet, or writer of the Scotch Courts, solicitor, proctor, notary, agent, or clerk, as aforesaid, saving always to any person or persons circumstanced as aforesaid, the benefit of any term or terms which he or they may have kept in conformity with the or ders of this society." And that henceforth "No person al ready admitted, or who may hereafter be admitted a member of this society, shall apply tor or take out any certificate in pursuance of the statute 44 Geo. 111. c. 98, s. 14, without the special permission of this society, under pain of expulsion, and that such permission be in no case granted until the per sons applying for the same shall have kept such commons in the hall of this society, as in pursuance of the order of the 16th day of July, 1762, are required to be kept as a qualifical ion fbr the bar, and that such permission, when granted,,do endure only from the date thereof, but may be renewed annually by order, upon petition." Snirwligm•v—On the morning 61 Sunday last , the 12th instant, about two o'clock, the principal keeper At Kin naird lighthouse, while on his watch in the light-room, was attracted by the noise of some one knocking at the door of the house. Having summoned the assistant keeper, w f ou nd that the person who s o ug ht admitt ance was a ship wrecked seaman in a very wet and exhausted state.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN AN SLAVERY SOCIETY. r The following are full reports of the speeches made by" Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Bright, which we were obliged to omit on Saturday for want of room : , ' Mr. D. O'CONNELL, M.P., who looked remarkably Well, was received upon advancing with the most vociferous cheer ing, which lasted for some time, spoke as follows :—The reso lution which is intrusted to me to move is in these words : " That this meeting, in common with a great mass of their countrymen, have read with feelings of indignation and horror the sentence of death pronounced by Judge O'Neale, of South Carolina, on John L. Brown, for aiding and abetting a slave woman to escape from the intolerable yoke of bond age, by which sentence, and the terms in which it was pro nounced, not only were the sacred principles of justice vio lated, and the forms of law prostituted to the most atrocious purposes, but the Divine system of Christianity itself grossly outraged and dishonoured." Nobody who has heard of that trial and sentence but must concur in every word of this resolution, and that being so, I really have very little to say to it. At one time I anticipated that I should have to address you at considerable length, and upon a most unpleasant topic—a topic which has created something like division amongst ourselves. Fortunately, however, that division is healed ; the appeal is made to the proper tribunal, and all I have to say is this, that I beg I may not have my opinions upon this subject judged of by the fervid eloquence of my friend George Thompson.— (Loud cheers.) I rejoice in being allowed to raise my voice in an assembly of the old and tried friends of human liberty amongst the enemies ofslavery in every country and in every clime, amongst the advocates of morality and Christianity, which can never be perfect or valuable in any country till there is neither master nor slave.—(Cheers.) I rejoice to stand amongst you, and, whatever may be my own lot, I shall have the gratification to recollect that I have joined in one more effort to strike the fetter from the slave.—(Cheers.) I don't know whether you understand what our cause of quarrel was a while ago. It seemed to me once or twice that it was something in the situation of my worthy countryman, Sir Lucius O'Trigger, who, having sent a Chall enge t o a man, and, being asked the cause of it, said, " It's a mighty pretty quarrel as it is : explanation 'll spoil it."—(Cheers and laughter.) For my part, lam bound to say that I urn a free trader, perfectly attached to the principles and the practice of free trade.—(Cheers.) I am convinced that it is injustice to prevent men from buying their food in ' the cheapest market, and that it is a crime to make the 'rich richer at the expense of increasing the poverty of the poor. I am a free trader in corn especially, though I stand here the representative of 7'50,000 of an agricultural population—of a population that have no means of paying their rents or sup porting their families but by the produce of the land —who sanction me, and join with me, in asserting, for the labour ing classes of England, the privilege of having their food as cheap as they can possibly get it.—(Hear, hear.) If I, on an anti-slavery question, differ with those who agree with me on the principles of free trade, they, I think will do me the justice to say that I may be mistaken, but that I am not designedly wrong. The question between us, to be disposed of by the Committee, when I shall not have an opportunity of appearing, is this—"whether slave-grown sugar ought to be more taxed on coming into this country than free-grown sugar —whether the produce of free labour ought not to have the preference in our market over the produce of slave labour ?" —that is all. I confess lam for giving a preference to the produce of free labour.—(Hear, hear.) I do not think there is anything opposed to free trade in that. If less is to be paid for slave-grown sugar, recollect the mode in which it has been produced. Remember that no wages have been given for its production, no gratuity to the men who fainted even under the labour. It was not half-a-crown or a shilling a day, but the lashes of the whip if they did not work heartily.—(Cheers.) 1 cannot bring that to my notions of free trade. We had at one time a slave trade in England, openly carried on by the sanction of the law. There is not here one human being who would be for a free trade in slaves ; and I see no distinction between being for free trade in slaves and for free trade in an article which would augment slavery.—(Cheers.) As to your fifty per cent. cheaper, why I think honesty is still the best policy. There was a man transported a year ago, named Money Moses, who was in the habit of receiving all the stolen plate he could get, paying the thieves a very small sum for it. That man would give you 50/. worth of plate for twenty-five sovereigns, and the conse quence would be, that you'd have a free trade in plate.— (Cheers.) Free trade's a good thing, but honesty's better ; and the country which gave that sublime example, without one murmur, from one end of the land to the other, from Land's End to the north of Scotland, from Cape Clear to the Giant's Causeway, freely contributed 20,000,000/. to the cause of humanity, cheaply purchasing the liberty of 800;000 human beings.—(Cheers.) I have heard of the difference between Royalty and Republicanism ; but Royalty has beaten Republicanism in the race altogether, and has at least the advantage of having totally abolished the horrible crime of slavery. Wherever the English flag waves, or our Queen's power extends, slavery is at an end, and man is on an equality with his fellow-creatures.—(Cheers.) No; I cannot bring myself at all to do anything that shall have the least appearance of augmenting slavery. It is, indeed, said, that if you don't buy slave-grown sugar, others will that they will have it in the markets of other parts of Europe. It is said, too, "If you adopt thi s principle, why not apply it to cotton and tobacco?" I think I have a very good answer to that—" Because it is not in our power to do it."—(Cheers.) If I could possibly prevent a single pound's weight of slave-grown cotton, or a single ounce of slave grown tobacco from entering this country, I would sacrifice my existence, and gladly perish on the scaffold, to prevent such a foul crime being enacted—(Cheers)—but if I cannot do that, is it any reason why I should not prevent what I can ? We cannot cure ene evil by committing another, Crime should be diminished as much as possible ; unlike wealth, it does not become more valuable by accumulation. I therefore stand up amongst my brother free traders to state that I cannot consent to increase the number of slaves by ea couraging'slave-grown produce.—(Cheers.) I came here, as you may perceive, tolerably well prepared to defend my opinions ; and if I should be able to attend the Committee I should defend myself there. lam sure I have not said Et word disrespectful to my able friend ; but Ido hope this Society will never be a pro-slavery society, either in England or anywhere else, and though other markets should be open to slave grown sugar, that England never will.—(Cheers.) I will ask any man, is not England the best market in the world for any commodity ?—(Cheers.) It has the two great ingredients—plenty of money and certitude of pay rnent.—(Cheers.) In some other countries the payment is not quite so certain.—(Cheers and great laughter.) Pardorx me for having detained you so long. I was brought up in abhorrence of every adjunct to slavery —of everything that. could assist—of everything that could increase slavery. I have spent a long life in struggling against tyranity and ov pression of every kind, and I shall not be a participator in anything that can augment the misery to the alleviation of which I have devoted all the energies of my life.—(Loud cheers.) But I ceme to the resolution before me, and I must. say that 1 heard with great pleasure the American gentleman who spoke with so much moderation and good sense while condemning slavery in his own country. Was there ever a thing equal to this trial of John L. Brown ? He was charged with attempting to aid a woman in escaping from bondage; he was tried, and was convicted. I wonder what kind of a jury he had.—(Cheers and great laughter.) Judgment was pronounced against hint—alas! by an Irish judge —not an American, but an Irish judge. Are there no strange ones nearer home?—(Cheers.) Humanity and morality were se trampled on, Christianity made such a mockery of by this prosecution, that I wish I had language to pour forth the torrent of my contempt upon a country and its institution, where such a horrible crime as that can be perpetrated under form of law.(Cheers.) Tried for his life! For what? For an act of humanity; for that for which he should have been rewarded—for a virtue—for a noble, a manly virtue ; for feeling of compassion for a wretched female.—(Cheers.) Then he read the manner in which the judge pronounced the sentence. He defied his God ; he; used the hol3scriptures to aggravate the bitterness of the sentence of death. _ He intro duced the name of the ever-adorable Redeemer, the only me diator between God and man, as if he would make a sin of , compassionate and humane act. Oh! pardon me, Sir, I can not continue-- " Just Heaven! What must be thy look, When such a wretch before thee stands, • Unblushing!—with thy sacred book, Turning its leaves with blood-stained ran And wiesting from its text sublime crime,!' insi to mark the his law of hate, and blood, an d ~) —(Great cheering.) Something should h done e disgust with which England views such conduct. For my own part, I would no more speak to a New Orleans man th an I would to a pickpocket or a felon thief. They don't deserve to be placed upon the same footing with civilised men. Eng land silould say to them, " Stay at home ; come net among us ; don't pollute us with your presence ; ave no other mode of for we will hold no commune with you."—(Cheers.) W controlling a nation but s y the expression of public opi n i on — Republicans are naturally proud; let us meet their pride , and show them th a t they shall ha ve in return nothing—but our scorn % our contempt, our hate, and our re probation (Cheers,) Pour ou t your indignation on them. Let them know that they are out of the pale of society—that they shall be excommunicated from intercourse with Christian men, whilst they have their statute-book stained by so bloody a law as this. The blood in their statute-book shall blush in their countenances, and they shall be marked as men of blood throughout the civilised globe--(Cheers)—the wretch that pronounced the sentence—that Judge O'Neal*, oh I I abhor him for his name. Let his 0 be blotted out any rate — (Cheers and laughter)—and then nail the rap to the counter as soon as you please.—(Cheers.) Our public press is too calm; we have had, to be sure, some important remarks on the aishject, some good sentences of reprobation ; but they haven't repeated them often enough ; they haven't marked with sufficient strength their sense of the iniquity, ofthe abo mination, of the seoundrelism of it.—(Cheers.) Representing large masses of my countrymen, I denounce the miscreant who derives his pedigree at least, if not his birth, from my country in the presence of this great meeting assembled in the cause of humanity.
