BRIGHTON, Batton 14.—Yesterday evening, shortly after nine o'clock, the town was thrown into great confusion, by a report that a savage attempt had been made to murder the chief officer of our police force, Mr. Henry Solomon, whiek, on inquiry, tinny out to be too true. A2Youn g man named Lawrence, a native of Tunbridge Wells, was apprehended by policeman Barnden, shortly after eight, for stealing a roll of carpet, which the prisoner had on his back when taken. The policeman took him to the chief officer's room in the Town-hall, where Mr. Solomon was engaged in conversation with Mr. Butler, the collector of the poor rates. Messrs. Slight, junior, Alger, and Palmer, three of our Brighton tradesmen, were also in the room at the time. Solomon said to the prisoner, " You have been in the town some time, I believe." The prisoner replied that he had not, and then asked for a knife, saying, that life was bur densome to him, and that he would cut his throat, and he pulled off his stock, and sat himself down in the chair. Solomdnturned away from the prisoner to renew the con versation, whilst waiting for a witness to take the charge against the prisoner. - Five minutes had scarcely elapsed, when the prisoner, unperceived by the persons in the room, stepped across to the-fire-place, took up the poker, and, as Solomon was standing with his hat off, the prisoner aimed a deadly blow at him with the poker, which alighted upon his head, and felled him to the ground, inflicting a frightful wound five or six inches in length, just over his right ear. Mr. Slight immediately seized the villain, who was .speedily secured, whiNt the other persons in the room turned their attention to the unfortunate sufferer, who was senseless and bleeding profusely. Two surgeons, Messrs. Gordy Burrowea and Baldey were called in. The wound was dressed. and the sufferer was then conveyed to his own home in a chair, in a state of great exhaustion, and without any hopes ofrecovery. Several surgeons were in attendance upon Mr. Solomon during the night. He remained insensible till ten o'clock this morning, when he expired. EXAMINATION. OF THE PRISONER. This morning the e Town-hall was densely crowded by , per sons anxious to hear theeiantination. At eleven o'clock the magistrates, Major Allen; Major Haly, J. Borrer, Esq , and Sir G. 'Westphal, took their seats, and the prisoner was shortly afterwards brought in betNreen two policemen. He looked round the hall in a Very unconcerned manner. He is a yming man, and apparently well brought up. On being asked His name, prisoner answered comrosedly, John Lawrence.. Major. Allen—Prisoner, you are now charged with the crime of murder. The prisoner nodded his head. John Barndea examined—The prisoner was given into my charge by Mr. Collins for stealing some carpet from his shop in St. James's-street, and I brought him to the Towa-hall. Mr. Collins came down with me. On my arrival at the halt I found Mr. Solomon, Mr. Samuel Slight, Mr.. Butler, and Mr. Alger. I told Mr. Solomon what he was charged with, and Mr. Solomon told. me to go and get. .the carpet. I stood outside of Mr. Solomon's door, and I beard a call of _‘;, Ik tici." I stood there several minuteg...and heard some one in the office halloo " police." I ren,into Ors office, and saw Mr. Solomon bleeding, and falling can. pia floor, and t lien caught hold of the prisoner. I saw no weapon of any kind. I put the handcuff's on him, and put liltn,luto a chair. Pri soner said, " I hope I have killed him, "And then I shall be hung for it, and the first chance I get Twill make off with myself." Here the prisoner became exceedingly faint, and shed tears. Minor Allen—Ask the prisoner if he hears what is going on. Thobum—The prisoner says he does not wish to hear it. The prisoner was here asked if he had anything further to say, and he very , coolly began to relate how it occurred. Mr. Samuel Slight, accountant—About half-past eight o'clock last night, the prisoner was brought in by the last witness. The prisoner was detained in Mr. Solomon's office. Mr. Solomon inquired how long he had been in Brighton. Prisoner answered, two days. Solomon replied, "he had been longer than that, for he knew he had been there a fortnight." Prisoner, in a very violent manner, then took off his stock, and said, " It is no use saying anymore about it, give me a knife and I will murder myself.' , He appeared quite sober. Mr. Solomon endeavoured to quiet him, and afterwards commenced a conversation with some gentlemen in the office.. Prisoner went to the corner of the office opposite the fire place, and seated himself in a large chair. Mr. Solomon, who, at the time, was sitting on the stool'with his side towards the prisoner, in the course of conversation, rose from his stool, and walked across the office towards me. As he turned to walk back again, the prisoner darted behind me, picked up the poker, and struck Mr. Solomon on the head. [The poker was produced, it was an ordinary-sized parlour poker, and was considerably bent by the force of the blow:] Mr. Solomon was struck on the right side of the head. I saw the blow. I immediately turned round, seized the prisoner, and took the poker from hini. The poker was bent as it now is, but I did not observe whether it was bent before. When I seized him, the prisoner said "I don't mind, I have done it, and I hope they will hang me for it." There was no harsh language used by Mr. Solomon. Major Allen—Prisoner, would you wish to ask Mr. Slight any question? The prisoner shook his head. Thomas Baldy, surgeon, examined—About half-past eight o'clock I was called to attend Mr. Solomon, whom I found sitting in a chair, and bleeding from a considerable wound on the right side of the head, about midway between the ear and the crown of the head. I examined the wound; it was two Indies and a half or three inches in length, and nearly half an inch in breadth. I don't think the wound had reached the skull. I could not ascertain any fracture of the skull. Mr. John Cordy Burrowes, surgeon, said he was with So lomon when he died, about a quarter past ten o'clock that morning. - This closed the case for the prosecution. Major Allen then told the prisoner that he had committed an unprovoked and cruel murder, and had deprived a wife and eleven children of a protector, and that he must be com mitted to take his trial at the ensuing Lewes Assizes on the 19th instant. t visited bee Pala"' r 'site he ; 1 1V edlier itss !e 00 1"' No. 16,096.

Like the old feudal privileges, which have, one by one, passed away, this also must yield to the force of truth and justice. The old fiction, that land has its peculiar burdens, which are not borne by the other national interests, has exploded. " The people out of doors," said Mr. Elphinstine, " look with great anxiety to the- decision of their representatives upon_ this question ; because the people of this country are fond of justice and fair play, and they cannot understand on what principle it is that while they taxed the property of one class of the community, they let the property of another large class be entirely exempt from taxation.

Commons • last night. Mr. Turner, after presenting several petitions against the irrational and unchristian practice, moved a resolution, " That duelling is immoral in its tendency; that it brings into contempt the laws of the country ; is con trary to Divine command ; and ought to be aolished." The country is indebted to Mr. Turner for his Motion, for though the resolution embracing so many abstract propositions—each of them indisputably true—could not properly be adopted by Parliament, which must be, above all things, careful not to affirm mere abstract truths, the Houses of Par liament can hardly be better employed than in dis cussions calculated to awaken and inform the public mind upon the subject of our social duties. The frank expression of their opinions by such men as spoke stAig4; all condemning the practice of private coinbaj. - nrtst 11- faithet , tujiiipit, if not . to extinguish the practice, Alan dor .as Indeed Mr. Turner himself proved by the list of legislators and So verei.ns who had directed laws against duelling, unfor tunately in vain. Mr. Turner did us the honour to quote the opinions of the Standard upon the subject of duelling avowed six years ago, and to express his approbation of those opinions, with an observation, however, that the Standard does not now go so far. Mr. Turner does us, however, an unintentional injustice in this last observation. We go as far as ever we went in our condemnation of duelling—but we do not conceal that reflection and experience have taught us that legislation upon the sub ject of duelling must fail—we would almost say ought to fail—unless it take the matter up earlier than the actual combat, or even than the delivery or acceptance of a challenge. In every case of a duel the insulter is the real challenger, and, if death follow the challenge, the real murderer. Men of exalted rank—men of proved and distinguished courage—may, perhaps, smile at insults and pass them by ; but the man of obscure station, and of a peaceful profes sion cannot, without a grievous loss of estimation in his circle, submit to insult; and even that loss of estimation, though what most dread as the greatest of calamities, is not the worst consequence of his submission, if he is en gaged in any pursuit calculated to provoke antagonism or enmity. Once set down as a man who would not resent a personal insult—such a man would be insulted by bullies every day of his life—persecuted by insult to his final ruin. The gentlemen of the bar are our wit nesses; even the humble writers of the periodical press know this. Let not Mr. Turner blame us, then, as hav ing abandoned our abhorrenee of duelling. We have not abandoned that abhorrence. We believe it to be sinful and irrational, and that homicide in a duel is murder, as fully as ever we held that opinion; and we believe that the person who engages in a duel, except upon an unequivocal and intolerable insult, incurs all the guilt and ignominy of a murderer—in intention, or in fact, as the case may be ; but, on the other hand, we must allow that one upon whom an unequi vocal and intolerable insult has been inflicted, is not a free agent, more than any other man thrown upon his defence. Mr. Turner goes a great deal further than we are disposed to do in favour of duellists, for he would miti gate the punishment of murder in a duel to trans portation, a change of the law which we should regard with horror, as calculated to facilitate the foulest murder, in the form of a duel—such murders have been committed, and would be committed again, in that state of the law which Mr. Turner proposes. Thirty-six years ago a major in the army quarrelled with a captain of his regiment upon some slight pretence, forced him into a small room at night, without seconds, and under pretence of a duel shot him dead within a few feet of his wife and children • for this the Major was tried, convicted, and hangt:d, and most righteously hanged ; but under Mr. Turner's proposed law he would at most be transported, probably only imprisoned two years. Mr. Turner thus recognises a distinction between murder in duels and ordinary murders—a distinction in favour of the former which we utterly reject. • R.S. begs to state that all Outstanding Accounts and Liabilities of the late firm will be received and discharged by him.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Beside the great question of the Corn-laws, upon which the landed interest is arrayed in opposition to all the other interests of, the country, there are many other instances of the scrupulous care with which the landowners have obtained protection for themselves at the expense of the other members of the community. One of these instances was brought before the House of Commons last evening by Mr. Elphinstone, by a motion for taking into consideration the statutes which impose taxes on personal property, with a view to the imposi tion of similar taxes on real property. Although the motion was got rid of for the present, on a question of form, it will be renewed in the course of the ensuing week. By the law, as it now exists, personal property is subjected to two imposts—the probate duty and the legacy duty. The former is an ad valorem tax on the whole amount of personal property of which an indivi dual may die possessed. The latter is a second tax levied upon the same property, upon its distribution in legacies, among those to whom it hai been left by the testator, in proportion to the degrees of their relation . ship to the party who bequeathed to.them an interest in it, and the amount of that interest. With the exception of annuities; or rent charges, arising out of land, real property is exempt from both probate and legacy duty ; it is transmitted by bequest, undiminished in value by any. impost, from one •generation to another ! It was by no oversight of Mr. Pitt, who, in 1796, imposed those taxes upon property pas s in g by will, " in order to support a war for the protection of all pro perty," that land' was exempted from its operations. The landlords—who were at that time not merely supreme, but adsolgte—compelled the minister to con fine his probate and legacy duties to- personalty, and to allow real estate to pass untouched. And having thus, in its origin, withdrawn their shoulders from the burden, the landed interests have, with characteristic disregard to the complaints of the classes upon whom it exclusively falls, resisted every subsequent attempt to remove it altogether, or to plow a similar tax upon real property, by which an amount w o u l d be raised that would allow of a correspondent diminution of taxation on some article of general consumption. Mr. Elphin stone showed, from returns upon the table of the House, the great amount of duty levied by means of this tax on personal property. The very large propor tion of the 'Upper llouse are landowners. In the Lower House the landlords employ their powers with despotic sway to secure a majority in their interests. . With such facts before them, is it to be wondered at if the people impute to Parliament that they have passed laws, not for the public benefit, but for their private advantage? Mr. Elphinstone strongly put this pinching question to the House last evening.— " What could be more unjust than for a merchant or manufacturer, who died leaving some pittance for the support of. his wife and fathily, to have it subjected to these taxes,' whilst the heir of a large landed estate—the inheritor of half-a , million . of real' pro perty-L-Went'scot free?" This distinction becomes yet mote demonstrative of galling-partiality in favour of the landewners, when it is considered that landed property bedbmes subject to the tax when purchased by a partner ship capital for manufacturing purposes! Another glaring disregard of consistency in the operation of th iS tax, is found in the fact, that "the freehold estate of a landed gentleman is not charged with any duty of descent, except it have to be sold to meet the demands of his family or creditors, when it becomes subject to a legacy and auction duty." In this case it also beoomes subject to another duty— that on conveyance. Within our limited space it would be imposible to folio* . Mr. Blphinstone, step by stop, through the able exposition which he made of the marked partial ity in favour 'of 'land, by 'which the existing system is disgraced. The argument which those who contend for the' exemption of land from probate and legacy ditty, urge in support of that thiemption, is, " that, although it were unjust to relieve land from probate duty under that nanir yetitill.land' pays so large an amount 'in stamp dutsikir - AonveytificCs and mortgages, that it is an equi valeta' 6/the legacy and probate duties on personal pro perty." The stamp duties, scarcely lesS than the' probate and legacies duties, also attest the tenderness with which the landlords tax themselves, as compared with the weight' with which they oppress the-less favoured classes. That the interest which has been thus " protected" from fair . taxation will, on the motion being again brought. fdrward; make a strong . fight for the preserva tion of Its:immunity from bearing a due share of the . uatiptial probable that it will suc- MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 13 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 48 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 175:104d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9i ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11k, it follows that gold is 0.91 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109} per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.33 per cent. against England ; but the quoted ex change at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. Attention has been called to an advertisement inserted by the Mexican agents in the Times of to-day, the object of which, without some explanation, is not obvious. By the advertisement in question, the public is cautioned against purchasing or negotiating . a certain series of coupons (the numbers of which are given), due in October last and in April next, but the reason of the caution is not stated. On, inquiry, however, it appears that the announcement refers to a holder of Mexican Stock who received Custom-house certificates for a portion of his claim, and also received the half-dividend that was due last October. To elucidate this particular position, it is necessary to call remembrance to one of the many operations which render the history of Mexican Stock such an intricate matter. Eight of the coupons on the Active Bonds to October, 1841, inclusive, have been delivered up by the majority of the bondholders, and debentures for half the amount represented by them have been received in their stead. Some of the holders, however, received payment of the first four of these coupons in certificates, which were receivable for duties at the Cus tom-houses, and therefore these were in a better position than the other holders. To place both on the same 'footing, it was agreed, that when the other holders received their dividends 4n the years 1842-3, those who had received certi ficates should not be paid, but only have debentures. The coupon due in April, 1843, was not, as we understand, brought under this rule, as the Mexican Government re solved that that arrangement should affect all parties alike ; but. making an allowance for this one exception, the parties will be all in the same position in April, 1844, the one class having been paid for their first four coupons, and the other for their last. Now it appears that the party to whom the advertisement refers, having received certificates for the first four coupons, and therefore defeated his right to the dividend due in October, nevertheless by some inadvartency received the half which was paid, and subsequently sold the coupons, or some of them, in presenting the other half (payment of which is now promised) in the open market. The bond ,fide purchasers, without notice, will, it would seem, have the full right to claim the half, notwithstanding the first transaction had its origin in error; but when those whe are fully aware of the peculiar circumstances affecting these coupons, the case may be different. At all events the advertisement may have the effect of stopping the negotiation of the coupons due next April, and if they remain in the hands of the original party, thq agents may be able to reimburse themselves by stopping out of the April payment a sum equal to that erroneously paid in October. We g►ve this explanation of an affair which is more intricate than important, that it may prevent the notion that something more serious is implied by the adver tisement. Two days ago some persons, whd" were visiting the Cemetery of Pere Is Chaise, were surprised by the report of a Ristol at no great distance. Following the direction of the sound, they came to a new-made grave, and afterwards were led by the traces of ,blood from it into a narrow path among some of the more, ancient tombs, where they found the body of a young man senseless, but yet bleeding from a wound inflicted upon himself by a pistol, still grasped in his hand. Upon him wwtfound a letter, declaring his name to be Auguste 8., aged 21, employed in the house of a merchant in the rue Montmartre, and stating that, having lost his affianced bride the day before, he could not survive her. He added that at his lodging money enough to pay the charges of his funeral would be found. Upon f ur .. ther inqLuiry all these circumstances were ascertained to be true.—Galignani. THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth of, or for repro ducing the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period ; whilst Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation.' The singular virtues of. this successful invention for - re,storing, preserving, and betuatifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The,very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempti of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the "genuine ' Macassar Oil: whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materals (imported solely by them), renders abortive any attempt to discover its component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macosaae Oil" on the wrilpper.—All others are fraudulent counterfeits I UN THE VERGE OF THE GRANE!

EXTENSIVEFIRE AT WESTMINSTER.—On Thursday shortlx. before eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises belonguag, to Mr . Hawking, tea dealer and grocer, situate No: 54, Strutton-ground, Vs estminster. The building was three stories high, and closely bounded on each side. Flames issuing through the aperture in the shop window caused the discovery to be made by some of the neighbours, who, after raising the necessary alarm, began to arouse the inmates of the contigous premises. Mr. Hawkins having left home to to the theatre at an early part of the evening, for some consi derable period the utmost anxiety was manifested for his safety, it being feared that lie was in the burning pre mises. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that in the short space of five minutes every part of the shop was in a general blaze, and the fire was fast ascending to the upper part of the building. The intelligence having reached the engine stations, with all promptitude the Horseferry road engine was on the spot., followed by the County-engine, and two more belonging to the brigade. The West of England engine, with Mr. Connorton, next reached the spot, and was succeeded by Mr. Fogo, with several other engines of the London Fire Establishment. An immediate supply of water &mu the Chelsea Water-works was procured, from which the engines were set to work, and they poured a vast torrent upon the flames, which had the desired effect of preventing their extending. The hose of the County engine was carried through one of the adjoining houses„and Carter, the foreman, brought the branch in such a position as to cut off the communication existing at that time between Mr. Hawkin'e premises and those of Mr. Mills, grocer and cheesemonger, No. 53, in the same place, Owing to the exertions of the firemen they happily succeeded in extinguishing the fire by half-past 12 o'clock, not, however, before the building in which it commenced was entirely . consumed, nothing being left besides the bare outer walls. The nnderinentioned premises are likewise damaged :—No. 53, Strutton-ground, occupied by Mr. Farr, general dealer— upper portion of building very extensively burnt, and stock damaged by water, &c.; insured in the County Fire-office. No. 52, Mr. Mills, cheesemonger and grocer—stock severely damaged by_ water and hasty removal ; insured in the Phoenix. Mr . -Cresswell, greengrocer and potato-merchant, No. 55, the upper part of the building greatly damaged by fire, and the lower part by water; not known if insured. The origin of the calamity could not be ascertained, and the proprietor' (Mr. Hawkins) not having reached home when the reporter left, of course it was impossible to learn whether he was insured. The police, under the direction of Inspector Barfoot, were of great service to the inhabitants in guarding their property, some of which was placed in the open street, to escape the fury of the conflagratiou. THE BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—A general meeting of the subscribers to this excellent charity was held on Thursday, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. Mr. Orme was in the chair. The minutes of the previous ' general meeting having been read and confirmed, the Secre tary proCeeded toxead the Report. it stated that the Direc tors had been called on. to grant assistance to twenty of the members, and although this had unavoidably caused a some • what greitter expenditure than in former years, consuming nearly the whole of the funds at their disposal, the Directors felt happy in having been the instruments by which the aged and infirm, the widow and fatherless, had been relieved in the season of their distress ; and they could not, they said, refrain from observing the independence of feeling which in duced several of the applicants to suffer much inconvenience before they applied to the institution for assistance. Since the last annual meeting thirty-three members had been ad mitted, thirteen had been removed by death, two had been excluded by non-payment of their subscriptions, and two had changed from annual to life members. The number of members now on the books was 446. With respect to the state of the funds of the Institution, the Directors said they felt happy in being able to state that, although et present they fell considerably below the sum named an constituting the permanent fund (20,0001.), yet that they were justified by the continued increase in believing that at no very distant time the sum, large as it at first appeared. would be realised. .The sum of 12,8371. Bs. had been in vested, producing nearly 5001. per annum. • The annual sub . - scriptions amounted to upwards of 2701., and the interest re ceived from the commencement of the Institution amounted to the sum of 2,2371: Bs. The Directors expressed their gra tification' in being able to state that the slight allusion made in the last Report to an asylum for the aged and decayed, and the hope therein mentionedthat it would be carried int( effect, was likely to.be fully realised. Munificent donations had been contributed, and other valuable assistance given, by the numerous body connected with the trade; and the project, which at first appeared more than doubtful, had now been matured, and had so far progressed as to render its final completion of absolute certainty. The Report was unani mously adopted, and ordered to be prieted and circulated amongst the members of the Society. The meeting then re solved that the Committee of Directors should have the ' power of giving temporary or permanent assistance to the . widows of members, and also of giving at their discretion the sum of 61. towards the funeral expenses of any of its de parted members. . Some formal resolutions were passed, and a vote of thanks was . given to the Chairman, whose servkse in aid of the Charity were warmly eulogised. The meeting then broke up. inquest t N a G t t fe h G e . eTwh Inn,r s d ai d g M e w r a r . e Ny r a tt k d e o y n , M.l A '., ce h rD elr :n TAL inq the body of George Willehire, aged 13, who hung himself - under the following circumstances :—George Willshire said he was father of deceased, and kept stables in Northumlier. land-mews; Edgeware-road. On Monday afternoon last, about half-past four o'clock, he left deceased alone in the stables, whilst he went as far as Orchard-street. He returned in about a quarter of an hour, and on entering the stable was surprised to find the deceased hanging by a halter which he had fastened round the top of one of the stall posts. He thought at first he was at play, but on closer approach his son appeared lifeless. He raised an alarm, and some neigh • bours came and cut deceased down, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Davis, surgeons, were sent for ; they bled deceased in the neck and arm, but life was quite extinct. When witness left the boy he was alone in the stable, and in perfect health and spirits. He believed that the deceased did - not hang himself 1 , intentionally. He was in the habit of playing with the - halter, by placing the noose round the hack of his head, and then, by catching hold of the other end, walk up the stall post, and perform other gymnastic feats.. The boy was of a very cheerful disposition, and he had never heard him threat en to destroy himself. , Verdict—" That t4e deceased, by hi s ir owri . act, died from accidental hanging.'
