THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been, to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, turd be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall )ae in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, bra clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from . them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, axe thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulatioUs, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders fur the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that wkere premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to de so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. , THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the cute half of the 101., and Interest for the retained half; and, If death should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 35/. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payab, ~ by the Company.

THE PITMEN'S STRIKE.—The Marquis of London derry has published the fol!owing notice:—" July 20, 1844.—The Marquis of Londonderry has given orders that no person, pitman or workman, is to be per mitted to come in his carriages, or any of their families, to Seaham Harbour, for the purposes of marketing or buying goods, who are not bona fide at his work, and employed in his collieries. Lord London derry again warns all the shopkeepers and tradesmen in his town of Seaham, that if they still give credit to pitmen who hold off work, and continue in the union, such men will be marked by his agents and overmen, and will never be employed in his collieries again ; and the shopkeepers may be assured that they will never have any custom or dealings with them from Lord Londonderry's large concerns that he can in any manner prevent. Lord Londonderry further informs the traders and shopkeepers, that having by his mea sures increased very largely the last year's trade to Sea ham, that if credit is so improperly and so fatally given to his unreasonable pitmen, thereby prolonging the in jurious strike, it is his firm determination to carry back all the outlay of his concerns even to Newcastle. Because it is neither fair, just, nor equitable that the resident traders in his own town should combine and assist the infatuated workmen and pitmen in prolonging their own miseries by continuing an insane strike, and an unjust and senseless warfare against their proprietors and masters." FORGE ME Not.—" Did you ever hear what it was that led to the discovery of the fact—that letters were opened by the creatures of the Government?" in quired a rather shrewd customer of ours the other day. It was this :—A letter, secured by a seal with the motto Forget me not' had been subjected to the scru tiny of the authorities. and, on closing which, a small portion of the wax, containing the last letter of the first wordipf the motto, was loosened and fell off.

SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIROUIT.—Exeter, July 26 and 27. ARSON.—James Bovy wAs indicted for setting fire to a rick of furze ' at CragfOrd, on. the 30th of April, the property of John Stanbury. Mr. Bevan conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner came into the prosecutor's service on the 24th of April, and remained six days; he was sent into the fields to pick stones. On the 3d of April the prisoner went to one end of the field, lighted his pipe, smoked, and sang, and whistled; he then knelt down by some furze, and put his hand under it; a snap was heard, and immediately afterwards flames burst out from the furze. The prisoner then clapped his hands. He was asked afterwards who set it on fire? He said, " I did it." He was then told he would be transported; he said, "That's what I did it for; I don't want to stop in this country any longer. I shall have bread for life now; bread for ever l" The prosecutor said the value of the rick was about 205.; and he admitted that he had offered to settle the matter for 50s. The pnsoner said he had not done it wilfully, and he was very sorry for it the moment he had done it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty.—Sentence deferred. From the appearance of the prisoner in the dock, it was evident that he was insane. Thomas Acland was indicted for the manslaughter of Francis Perry, on the 24th of March last, at Tiverton, and James Winsbarrow was indicted as an accessory. Mr. Ball conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Rowe defended Winabarner, and „Ur. Phinn appeared for Acland. - It appeared that on Sunday evening, the 24th of March, the two prisoners were drinking at the Half-moon public house at Tiverton, when a man of the name of Tozer came in and asked for lodgings, but mild not procure any. He then went out with a view of inquiring at other places. The prisoners followed him and dodged him about for a consider able time. At length they met Perry, and some little con versation took place. Acland said they were constables and would see Tozer out of the town, and 'then Acland struck Perry with his fist and knocked him down, and he then kicked him several times. Perry lay quite still. He was afterwards taken tothe:Red Lion public-house, where he died in the course of the night. The jury found Acland Guilty, and Winsbarrow Not Guilty. Acland was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment. ARSON.— TV. Rapsey was indicted for setting fire to a rick of hay, the property of John Hook, at Honiton. Mr. Poulden conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Cox defended the prisoner. This case depended entirely upon circumstantial evidence. It appeared that in April the prosecutor had a rick of hay at Ottery Moorfield, near Honiton. It was burnt on the night of the 16th of April, about 8 o'clock in the evening. On that night, about 7 o'clock, the prisoner went to a house in Honiton and bought a box of lucifer-matches. At about 20 minutes past,lo o'clock he went into the same shop ; they were talking about the fire, and the prisoner said, "D— it, it burnt well, by God." The prisoner was intoxi cated on both occasions of his going to the shop. About half-past 7 o'clock that evening the prisoner was seen to jump up behind the Forester coach as it was going out of Honiton. The coach would go somewhere near the spot where the rick was. In about 10 minutes after the alarm of fire the prisoner was again seen in Honiton ; and was heard to say that it was not ad— of odds if he was on fire. Just as the fire was first seen the prisoner was observed sitting in a hedge two fields off, with his face to wards the fire. The prisoner was seen to go down Ottery field-lane immediately after the Forester coach passed the top of the lane. The prisoner was heard that evening to say, " He was sorry for Hook, though he had been a rogue to him, and it was a pity that lucifer-matches should have been invented." The prisoner was apprehended two days after wards near his own house. He was asked if he had pur chased any lucifers, and he said he had, but that he had lost them out of his pocket. The question at length became one almost of seconds as to the times at which the prisoner was seen in different places. Mr. Cox addressed the jury with great force for the prisoner, pointing out the various improbabilities of the case. Mr. Justice WIGHTMA3I having summed up, the jury Ac quitted the prisoner. In the Civil Court the business has all been of the most un interesting description. There has not been a single case to justify a report. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Nottingham, July 26. The Right Hon. Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Coltman arrived in this town yesterday afternoon, and, having opened the commission for the county and county of the town, at about five o'clock, proceeded to attend Divine service at St. Peter's Church. Their Lordships took their seats in the county-hall at ten o'clock this day—the Lord Chief Justice presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Coltman on the Civil Side. The calendar presented 25 cases and 30 prisoners for trial. One man, William Saville, stood charged upon four indict ments for murder, the sufferers being his wife and three children ; and four with a burglary in the dwelling-house of George Clarke, at Sutton-in-Ashfield, and rape therein (see infra.) There were also two cases of cutting with intent to murder, and one each of manslaughter, rape, arson, assault, stealing from the person, and horse-stealing, and two of sheep stealing. On the civil side there were 12 causes for trial for the county, of which four were undefended, two are for special juries appointed for to-morrow morning, and two are indict ments against the parish of Hickling. One of the others was a writ of inquiry, of which the facts were uninteresting, wherein the jury have returned a verdict for 2001. In the town there is one cause, " Whitmore and others v. Hideout" (the bank case), which is a remanet from the last assizes. CROWN COURT.--(Before Lord DENMAN%) William Boot, aged 18, James Smith, aged 19, Peter Alford, aged 20, and James Wild, aged 23, were indicted for a bur glary in the night of the 28th of March last, in the dwelling house of George Clark, at Sutton-in-Ashfield. The prisoner Boots pleaded guilty. Mr. Willmore conducted the prosecution ; the prisoners were undefended. It appeared that on the night in question, down to half past eleven o'clock, the four prisoners were drinking together at the Black Bull public-house at Sutton. They then went thence to have "a set," which meant in pursuit of game. They, however, changed their intention, and determined upon going instead to commit a burglary in the house of the poor man, Clarke, who was on his death-bed, and in a state wholly unfit to offer resistance, and the next day ceased to live. They broke open the door with a hatchet, and took 6d. or 7d. from the pocket of Clarke, which was all the money in the cot. One propOsed to take away some clothes also ; but the others objected, and this was not done. The prisoner Alford then committed a crime of another sort towards Emma Sansom, a poor woman 57 years of age, and Boot or Smith did so also, one of the others holding down the deceased man Clarke by his wrists the while. This occured at about twelve o'clock at night. When the men came up to the house, a voice was heard outside to say, "George, George! open the door; I want a light." When they got in they complained that Emma Sansom had not brought them a light, when she said she wouldn't, and the poor old man was unable to move. They asked the poor man for money, and the woman said, How can you expect such a poor man to have any money ?" The woman had very many years before borne a child to Clarke; but he afterwards married another woman, and, after her death, she served him in the capacities of housekeeper and nurse, but did not reside in the house. On the night in question she undressed and went to the same bed with Clarke, but this was only because he was on the point of death and could not be left, and there was no other bed or room in the house. One of the men asked for a pistol, and the poor woman, who had been subject to paralytic strokes, was much frightened and screamed loudly, crying out that she should die, or to that effect ; but they stopped her mouth with their hands. Clarke told them to take all, but go away. The wo man, on examination by a surgeon a week afterwards, was found to be very badly bruised The jury found all Guilty of the burglary, for which alone they were indicted, and His LORDSHIP having observed strongly upon the nature of so brutal an outrage as that of which they had been con victed, committed in the house of a sick man in their own condition of life, unable to resist, and at the point of death, and remarked that he was aware also, by the perusal of the disgusting story told in the depositions in the other case, which were before him, of the other atrocity of which they had been so profligately guilty, sentenced them to be sever ally transported for the term of 15 years. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) WILD (SUING IN FORMA FAUPERIS) P. FISHER AND OTHERS. The undefended and some wholly uninteresting cases having been first disposed of, the above-named cause was tried, and occupied the Court until its rising at about five. It was an action of trespass for turning the plaintiff and her son, and all belonging to them, out of a cottage at Cope land Butler. _ _ Mr. Miller conducted the plaintiff's case, aud Mr. White hurst, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. Waddington, represented the defendants. The defendants were public officers of the parish, and were represented as on this occasion acting under the direction of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. The question at issue was as to the right of the plaintiff to the cottage, or to possession of it, as against the Noble Duke ; a former proceeding had been instituted by the occu pant of another cottage, which had been referred to Mr. Beaumont by the then plaintiff's desire, who had given a decision, though he had not made a regular award. The jury now, in this case, returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 401. An action of ejectment at the same suit will probably follow at the next assizes. July 27. CROWN SIDE. William Saville, aged twentv-nine, was charged with the wilful murder of his wife and three children. Mr. Wildman and Mr. Mellor conducted the case for the prosecution; and Mr. Flower the defence. The prisoner is a frame-work-knitter, living at new Rad ford, near Nottingham ; and, in the month of May, lodged at the house of a man named Sutton, his wife and three children being at that time in the workhouse. They came out the Monday preceding the day of the murder (Tuesday). attachment to a young female named T Sa a v te ille an h for the commission of the crime with which he was charged was, that lie was desirous of ridding himself of his wife, who stood in his way, and his children, whom he looked d ad th f e or o m n e ly d m an moth e that suggested itself to the mind upon in the light of incumbrances. When the poor woman with her three unfortunate infants (for the age of the oldest was not more than seven, the youngest little more than three) left the workhouse, she said she would go and see if she could find her husband, and on the following morning Saville, his wife, and the three children, were seen together in Nottingham. In the afternoon of the same day, and at various times on Tuesday, he was seen alone; and in ac counting for the absence of his wife and children, was heard to say he had lost sight of them near a street called Man ners-street. With respect to the young woman Tate, it may be observed there was nothing against her character, for when she became acquainted with Saville she did not know he was married, and upon finding he had a wife and children, she broke off the intimacy that was growing up between them. The prisoner, in order to alter her resolution, said he was not married, but the young woman answered, " If he was not married, and was the father of the children, he was equally bound to support her and them." On the Tuesday evening Saville was heard to. express apprehensions as to his wife having drowned herself, and to say he was afraid he should get into trouble on her account. The bodies of the unfor tunate woman and her children were discovered on the Wed nesday morning in a kind of spinney, lying between a place called Colwick and Carlton. From the appearance of the ground it was very evident there had been a struggle between Saville and his wife. From Colwick to Carlton there runs a footpath, and at the foot of a hill to which the path in ques tion leads there is a plantation, and in that plantation the murdered wife and children were found by a man of the name of Swinscoe on the morning of Wednesday, being the day after the murder. It appeared this man had gone into the spinney to get something for his rabbits, when he saw the little children as he thought asleep. Upon further inspection they were found to have had their throats cut, and about four yards farther off was the body of • the unfor tunate mother, with her throat also dreadfully cut, so that, in the opinion of the medical man, death must have been instantaneous. In the woman's hand was a razor, but so loosely held that it evidently must have been placed there. There was a train of congealed blood from the woman to the children. The bodies were put into a cart and carried to a barn at Colwick. The prisoner was seen on the morning of Tuesday going in the direction of the plantation with his wife and children ' carrying the youngest child in his arms ; they were seen also sitting on a bank together within twenty yards of the spot where the bodies were found. He was seen coming out of the plantation alone, looking timidly about him, very embarrassed, and his face of. an Ashy paleness, and altogether there was a chain of as strong eircumstantial evi dence as we have ever known. The surgeon deposed to the nature of the wounds, which were of such a nature that death must have been instanta neous. When the prisoner's lodgings were searched a bottle of arsenic was found concealed in his trunk. On examining his clothes only slight traces of blood were observable. The Learned Judge having summed up with great minute ness and exactitude, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Learned Judge, in a very im pressive manner, passed the sentence of the law upon him, that he be hung. Joseph Roys, aged 32, was found Guilty of a rape upon the body of Louisa Brammer, aged about 17, and sentenced to be transported for life. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, July 26. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) James Lankester ' aged 30, was indicted for wilfully and maliciously setting fire to a stack of wheat, the property of George Paine, of Great Barton, in the month of June last. Mr; Gurdon and Mr. Sanders prosecuted the prisoner, who was not represented by counsel. The prosecutor is a farmer occupying land under Sir Henry Bambury, near Bury St. Edmund's. The prisoner is a native of Palgrave, in this county, and seems to have got his living by travelling round the country on foot, hawking trifling wares, and singing, or rather reciting scraps of ballads, songs, and hymns, the burden of which, from a specimen which he gave to the jury in his defence, would seem to have been " the blessings of cheap bread," the " want of work " in general, and the particular lack of it on the songster's part. These songs and ballads, as well as his cross-examination and speech to the jury, which were voluble and fluent in the extreme were strongly interlarded with allusions to the Deity. In fact his mind, like his wallets, of which he had at least six, of all shapes and sizes, was filled with the most extraordinary and heterogeneous collection of articles and " unconsidered trifles." This personage was seen on the day of the ire, going on the road towards the wheat-stack of the prosecutor, and at a distance of about half a mile from it, at about two o'clock. The flames were first discovered at four o'clock, and various witnesses proved that he was seen later than that on the same day just beyond the stack, and going through Barton, towards Bury, where he ordered a fresh supply of his bills and songs, and was not long afterwards taken into custody on suspicion of this charge, an old lucifer match box having been found near the stack and in the road. On being taken to a public-house, the constables searched him. In one of his bags was a quantity of very dry grass; in another, a few broken matches; in a third, some old rags and paper; and in a fourth were three phials, each of which contained some liquid. These latter, he said, were his medi cine bottles, and the unsuspecting " man of the law," de ceived by his coolness and readiness, gave them back to him. As soon as he got them he obtained leave to retire to the privy, and after that time the phials were not to be seen, though he was handcuffed, and the most rigorous search was made for them, in order that their contents might be sub• jetted to analysation. There being no sufficient evidence to warrant his commitment for this offence, he was summarily dealt with as a rogue and vagabond, and consigned to Bury gaol for a month. There he soon fell into conversation, during the intervals of rest from hard labour on the tread mill, with two prisoners; one of whom, by name Copeman, now deposed to his having asked him what he came there for, to which he replied, "for pretending to be deaf and dumb," upon which, said the witness, " he told me that he had been up that day to the hall on an examination about a fire." I asked " whose?" He said, "Mr. Payne's, of Barton." I asked " how he did it ?" He said he put a ball into the stack with his hand, up to his elbow, and that the ball was as big as a cauliflower. He said he set fire to the stack at t aro o'clock in the day-time; that he had some lucifers for sale in boxes, and some in his pocket, in a paper; that he set fire to the stack with a match, and had got three-quarters of a mile off when he saw the fire burn. When he told me I said I should tell Mr. Orridge, and he cried. Mr. Orridge was the gaoler; he is dead now. Another witness from the gaol, named Richard Sayer, de posed as follows :—I come from the gaol. I am there for stealing apiece of iron. I went to prison on the26th of December last. I remember the prisoner coming. I was at work with him soon after on the wheel. Copeman was there. The prisoner said, " I suppose they mean to hang me for this job." I asked what job? He said for that stack which was burnt at Barton. I told him they would not do that. On another day I said to him, as he was resting on the box, " Jem, will veil tell the truth of what I ask yoil?" He said he would if he could. I asked the names of those balls he put into the stack. He said they were " Tallybangers." When I came down I asked him how far he had put it in. He said he " runned" his arm up to the elbow. He said he had been four turns through Barton when the fire burst out, but he said afterwards that he was three-quarters of a mile off, and that he went to Bury and ordered his bills to be printed. I never heard anything about the fire before. By the JUDGE-Mr. Peirson, the keeper of the wheel, over heard and asked me what it was, and I told him. I know that a man who gave evidence at the last assizes out of the gaol has been pardoned since, but I have no thought of that. If it was my own father or brother I should discover him, for I don't think fires ought to be. John Peirson.—l am the under-keeper. I saw the prisoner crying one morning, and I asked Eayer, who was close to him, why he was crying. He said about a stack that he had set on fire at Barton. Lankester said nothing. Afterwards I heard Sayer ask Lankester how far he had put his arm into the stack, and he said up to the elbow, and that he had left a ball in it. There was more conversation, but I could not col lect it. Copeman was on the wheel. The prisoner then made a lengthened speech to the jury, complaining of the laxity of the discipline adopted by Mr. Peirson, which he said was much worse than anything he had ever seen in any other gaol, and contending that he was the victim of a conspiracy between the three last witnesses, who would swear anything to ruin a poor man, " as innocent as the babe at the breast." The Learned JUDGE pointed out to the jury the various facts on which the guilt or innocence of the man at the bar must turn, and left it to them to say whether they, as rea sonable men, could entertain any doubt of his guilt. If so, they should acquit him; but if they gave any credit to the testimony of the three last witnesses, they could scarcely avoid coming to the conclusion that he was not accused without foundation. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sen tence deferred. Edward Botwright, aged 22, was charged with firing a barn and outbuildings at Sotterley, in the occupation of Hannah Watling, on the Ist of June; and John Spilling was charged as an accessory before the fact. Robert Watling, the son of the prosecutrix—Was awoke by his wife at twelve o'clock at night with an alarm of " Fire I" He jumped up directly, and, dressing himself, hur ried down stairs to the barn, which he found in flames. He and the men who were there let out the stock. While so engaged he stumbled on a letter, which was then read. My mother had a quantity of buildings and stock destroyed by this fire. The prisoner worked for me when a boy for two years, and as a man for four. He was discharged for dis honesty. I remember on the 29th of May finding one of my mother's beasts dead. It had been strangled by a rope tied round its neck to another which was nearly dead. Edward Fitzgerald, a superintendent of police, searched the prisoner's lodgings, and found in his roo m a half sheet of paper, which corresponded with that on which the letter was written. It had these few lines on it : "Mr. Watling—Sir, this come as a warning for you and he rest of your neighbours and the policeman. You may think." The prisoner can write, and I believe both the letters are in his hand. I also found a seal, which fits to the seal on the letter found by Mr. Watling. Charles Nagle--When the prisoner was apprehended ho made so much resistance that I was obliged to knock him down. James Bullen—Saw the prisoner at his lodgings the night of the fire. Billy Brown was in the road, near the gate. They went away, and the prisoner returned again at eleven o'clock. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. By the direction of the Learned JUDGE, Spilling was ac quitted on the statement of the case. . . In addition to the above, the same prisoners were simi larly indicted in respect of another fire in their neighbour hood, but no evidence was offered against either of them. David Jackson, aged 18, was indicted for setting fire to a barn, the property of John Cracknell, at Redlingfield, on the 3d of June last. The jury found him Guilty, but they accompanied their verdict with a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. Baron ALDERSON then, in very impressive terms, ad - monished the lad of the enormity of his guilt, which had arisen purely from the idle conversation in which he had been engaged with his companions. In order, however, to carry out the views of the jury, which certainly squared with his own views, he should only sentence him to fifteen years' transportation, and care would be taken that he should be dealt with in the Penitentiary. James Smith, aged 16, was charged with having set fire to a house and farm buildings, the property of S. Eastall, on the Ist of April. Mr. Prendergast apwared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Dasent for the prisoner. In this case also the prosecutor and prisoner stood in rela tion of master and servant, the former being a large farmer at Mendlesham. During the time that the prisoner had been in his service, he had been several times found fault with by his master. He was first accused of having in his possession some stole' chickens; then he was scolded for giving the pony a quantity of wheat meal, for which his master threat ened to have him up before Dr. Day, a neighbouring magis trate. To this he quietly replied, " Take me up and be d—d," but nothing came of it; and at last, a few days before the fire, his master accused him of having killed one of his pigs. Notwithstanding these repeated causes of separation, he was kept on and allowed to discharge his usual duties. Among these he used to get up quite early, and for that purpose he was supplied by 'his mistress with lucifer matches. On the night in question, he and his master, according to custoni, went round the farm-yard at nine o'clock, with a lighted lantern. Among the places they examined and locked up was the neat-house, in which were seven cows and the p?ny. All being safe, the prisoner was told to go to bed, and it was supposed he did so, but as his way lay up a ladder _owl' the back-house, quite apart from the family, no one could say when or whether he did as he was desired. In the course of about a quarter of an hour the prosecutor was alarmed by the reflection of a strong light, and it was soon discovered that the neat-house was in flames, the fire having evidently originated among a quantity of straw which had been piled up in a temporary roof overthe stock. In this building there was no hole or open window on either side, and as there was a very vigilant watch dog chained up close to it, the prose cutor had, as lie thought, good reason for imagining that the outrage had not been committed by any stranger.. As soon as the family were disturbed they sought for the pri soner, whom they found in his bed-room, quite dressed, though it was with difficulty that his young master could persuade him to descend into the yard. When there, how ever, he assisted to remove the property which was most exposed to the fire. On the following morning he was taken into custody. When the prisoner was about to fall asleep a youth named Dean was thrust into the lock-up by the police, and he had hardly been there above ten minutes before he asked the prisoner what he was there for, to which he replied, " 'Why, what are you in for ?" " qh," said the intruder, " I'm in for a fire at Schole ; what are you for ?" " 'Why," said the prisoner, " I am here for the Mendlesham fire." The stranger then asked whether they had a clear case against him, to which he said " No, there was no one coining up against him." " Flow did you do it.?" interrogated the witness. In answer to this the prisoner, according to the testimony of to-day, said that he had gone to bed, and having come down directly afterwards, had gone to the neat-house, when he set fire to the straw with a bundle of lucifers. On cross-examination this witness admitted that he had been convicted of felony two years ago, at the early age of seventeen, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Since then he had no regular employment, but got it as he could. All this treachery, he said, he did without the slightest hope, expectation, or promise of reward, but purely from a desire to assist the police. Mr. DASENT having addressed the jury on behalf of the pris mer, The Learned JUDGE proceeded to sum up the case. If the jury attached credit to the last witness, Dean, there was' no doubt an ample confession ; but, in his opinion, they would do well if they viewed such testimony with great suspicion and distrust. It was a very discreditable trick, a paltry con trivance, and one which ought not to be encouraged. If they discarded that part of the case the question would still re main whether on the evidence, which was free from any taint, they could arrive at a conclusion Of the prisoner's guilt. The Learned Judge then went into the whole details of the case with great minuteness, and at the close of his observa tions the jury retired to consider their verdict. A SCENE.-COMMITMENT OF. A CLERGYMAN FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. During the progress of this trial Mr. Baron ALDERSON rose in great agitation, and said, holding some papers in;his hand, " I have received some letters from a clergyman, named Maberley, who says he has some materials in his hands that would be of advantage to these people. In God's name, then, let him produce them. What am Ito do? Am I to go out of Court to speak to this person, who lives at the Admiral's Head? Have I not enough to do here in dispos ing of this heavy calendar? I know what turn such mat ters sometimes take. If I take no notice of these letters, assertions and statements may be made not warranted by fact. (With great energy)—l wish him to come forward in open Court ! That is the proper place for him. His conduct is very indecent and improper. Mr. DASENT said he hoped his Lordship did not refer to the case of his client. Mr. Baron ALDERSON —.. NO, the application has nothing to do with the case. On the retirement of the jury for the purpose of consider ing their, verdict, and before a new arraignment was taken, it was intimated to his Lordship that the Rev. Gentleman was in attendance. [lt may be as well to state here that Mr. Maberley is con spicuous in this and the adjoining counties for his vehement and uncompromising opposition to the new poor-law.] The Rev. Gentleman's presence being mode known to the Learned Judge, the following dialogue took place between them Mr. Baron ALDERSOIV—YOU, I believe, Sir, sent me some letters. In answer to your application, I can only say I have nothing to do with the attendance of the witnesses to whom you allude; but every facility shall be afforded to you on behalf of the prisoner for whom you interest yourself, as far as the Court is concerned. The Rev. Mr. Maberley—l only think, as the poor prisoners have no opportunity of bringing witnesses, some opportunity should be afforded them by the Court, as far as regards the Panting of subpumas. lam willing to undertake the ex pense, if you will only appoint the trial to take place to morrow. But I would not bring the witnesses yesterday, nor would I bring them to-day, neither will I bring them to morrow, and pay all the expenses out of my pocket, when I don't know at the same time when the trial is to come on. If you will appoint the trial for to-morrow, I will bring the witnesses at my own expense. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I can make no conditions, Sir. The Rev. Mr. Maberley (with great energy)—l want a fair trial for the men. ➢ir. Baron ALDEnsox—Yes, and they shall have a fair trial whilst I preside here—as fair a trial as it will be in my power to afford. The Rev. Mr. Maberley (striking his hand upon the wit ness-box)-4 shall insist upon the men having a fair trial. I demand it. I demand that the trial shall be fixed for to morrow. .• Mr. Baron ALDERSON (addressing a javelin-man)—Take Mr. Maberley into custody. The Rev. Mr. Maberley—No, no; I protest against this— Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Take him into custody immediately. The Rev. Mr. Maberley—You may do as you like. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Remove him from Court. The Rev. Mr. Maberly—You shall not ; I say you shall hear me, my Lord. The officer here laid his hand on the Reverend Gentleman, and requested him to leave the Court; to which he replied, " You sent for me, my Lord, and I came in consequence of a message requiring my attendance. I will be heard." 1 Mr. Baron AmEnsos—Take him into custody im mediately. The officer having at length persuaded the excited gen• tleman to retire from the Court, they quitted it .together, but in a few moments hislordship desired that he should be discharged from custody, and added, " The trial shall be appointed for to• morrow; that is, if the prisoner Borley wishes it to be so. Send for him, that I may hear from him his own wishes." Frederick Borley was then placed in the dock, and in an swer• to his Lordship's inquiry, intimated that it was his wish that his trral might take place to-morrow morning, and also that Mr. Maberley might be allowed to interfere 'on his behalf. , Mr. Baron ALDERSON —Very well. If it is your desire it shall be so. Your trial will, therefore, come on at the sitting of the Coui to-morrow. Thus ended the " affair," which served not a little to vary the proceedings of the assizes. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAms.) Henry Serjeant, aged 21, and James RiOand, aged 53, were indicted for having set fire to a stack of haulm, a cow house, and barn, the property of Thomas Barnes, and acquitted. _ July 27. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Frederick Borley, aged 18, and John Durant, aged 17, were charged with firing two stacks, the property of Ambrose Candler, at Stowmarket, on the afternoon of Sunday, the 19th of May. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecution. Neither of the prisoners were defended by counsel. The evidence of the prosecutor abundantly proved that the stacks in question were fired about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, and totally consumed. From the description given of the premises, it appeared that they were situated near to the town of Stowmarket, and close by a plantation, and near to this place the two prisoners and one Williams were seen loitering and talking at intervals during the Sun day afternoon, and just before and after the fire broke out. In addition to this testimony, Williams, having been ad mitted Queen's evidence, was called, and he swore that he was engaged in watching Borley while he perpetrated the offence. Another young man, named Diaper, deposed to having re tired at half-past three to the plantation, for a certain pur pose, when he saw Borley approaching the stacks. Sus pecting that he was after something wrong, the witness climbed into a fir tree, whence he could see the prisoner and the stacks. While in this situation, he distinctly saw him take something out of his right-hand waistcoat pocket, which ignited on being applied to his left thumb-nail and drawn across it. He then saw the smoke rise clearly from his hand, and in a second or so observed him apply his right hand to one of the stacks. As soon as he had fired that one he did the same to the two others, and then ran away towards Williams, who was watching him from an adjoining close. This most important witness said that he then went home and told several persons what he had seen, after which he went back to the fire. As he was retracing his steps, he met Borley, who jogged his elbow and said, "Don't be in a hurry, ba ! (boy). Let it get a hold first." This hint, however, the witness declined to act upon, for he went at once to fetch the engine, and did his best to put out the fire. Besides these witnesses, a variety of respectable people deposed to their having seen Borley , and Durant, and Williams about the prosecutor's yard, and proved several expressions and declarations on the part of Borley, which, if true, went far to show that he was guilty, and was of course present at the moment the stack was fired. At the close of the case for the prosecution, ro se, and, addressing his Lordship, The Rev. Mr. Maberley begged to apologise for the occurrence of yesterday. He did not mean to offend his Lordship ; indeed, he could not, for he came to ask a favour. Mr. Baron ALDERsoN—Pray don't say another word, Sir, on:that subject. If you say so, I will believe you at once. for be yo ex amined u ? Do not revert to whatfordpa,s w i Nk si ' l h t a h t e c s a e n w l tn do e s n g :sw to iir. 3l b a y b 3 e - MY Lordship for Borley, against whom, I believe, there is a conspiracy between Diaper and Goodwin. Mr. Baron Alderson then called the witnesses whose names had been handed up to him by the Rev. Gentleman, and who deposed to the following facts George Chamberlayne—l know Diaper. He told me be fore ho went up to the magistrates that he was at home w hen the fire broke out, washing his hands, and that he was not there till the stack was halAurnt. William Ball—l was going to the fire and met Diaper, who asked me where it was. I said at Mrs. Rust's, and he said, he was going to Mr. Candler's. James Horrix and his wife both swore that Borley was at their house just at the time the flames were discovered, and a Mrs. Parker swore that she met him alone in a certain lane, at a time when some of the witneeses for the Crown stated lie was in a very different place. It should be stated that Diaper positively denied the truth of thestatements made by Chatnberlayne and Ball. Mr. PRENDERGAST having replied upon this evidence, Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up the whole case, in the most lucid order, and explained the different views in which circumstantial and direct evidence ought to be received by juries, and leaving it to them to say whether, under the com bination of both classes of testimony contrasted with the wit- (/' • nis — ses for the primary Neon they were satisfied er not that the prisoners must have set fire to the stacks in the manner detailed by Diaper. If the evidence did not produce such an effect on their minds, it was their duty to return a ver dict, of not guilty. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and ultimately returned with a verdict of Guilty against Borley, and Ac quitted Durant. (Before Mr. Justice WrLuAms.) Layzell Randall, aged 16, and Isaac Everett, aged 21, were charged with having fired the premises of. Mr. Norden, at Assignton, on the 24th May. Both the prisoners were con victed,•but not without some delibemtion -onthe part of the jury.. . STATE OF THE COUNTRY =PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY. At the close of Friday the grand jury, headed by Air W. F. Middleton, Bart., their foreman, handed in the following presentment, which was - afterwards read in open Court In consequence of your Lordship's directions, we present the following observations on the state of the calendar at these assizes :—ln examining very, minutely the witnesses upon the respective bills which have come before us, with a view of eliciting from them the causes, the motives, and the instigations, by which the parties implicated have been led to the perpetration of the crime of arson and threatening letters, we regret that we can arrive at no satisfactory conclusion as applicable to any one system, or to . any prevailing cause, that has sufficiently manifested itself to suggest any remarks. We can, therefore, only present theffollowing as our analysis of the cases which have come. before us, of which there appear to be 17 committed by children or young persons under the age of 20, and 13 by persons ? above that age—namely, 4 arising from inadequate emploYtnent, 13 from malicious feel ing towards individuals, 11 from actual mischief and without any premeditated or criminal intention, 1 only by a party travelling about the country as a vagrant, and 4 for which we cannot discover any cause or motive whatever. It gives us great pleasure to add our testimony to the efficient and zealous exertions displayed by every class of people, not only in bringing to justice the perpetrators of this crime, but for the ready and active assistance afforded by the labourers in extinguishing the fires and protecting property on all occasions. " We have great satisfaction in presenting that, in very few cases, the plea of inadequate wages has b een instrumental to the commission of the offences with which the present ca lendar is so fearfully charged. " We cannot conclude our presentment without congratu lating the country that neither the independence, the honesty, nor the integrity of the labouring classes, has been in any way compromised by the circumstances which it has been our painful duty to investigate.

LOND 7 /7 / IRISH ASSIZES. TIPPERARY (NORTH RIDING), July 26. MURDER—EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Edward Nellie was placed at the bar, charged with aiding and assisting in the murder of John Kennedy, of Cappagh, on the 7th of January last. Mr. Scorr, Q.C., stated the case. He said the prisoner at the bar stood indicted for the murder of John Kennedy, the father of a large family. On the night in question some of the family went to the police-station, and on that occasion the prisoner at the bar was arrested, and taken to the house; and on that evening all the family denied' knowing any of the party. In a few days after, when the father's life was doubtful, his children came forward, and named the parties who deprived him of life. There are two others included in the indictment, but they have not as yet been made amenable to justice. The wife, four sons, and a d aug ht er o f th e d ecease d , were examined for the prosecution. It appeared from their evi dence that deceased met his death in consequence of wounds inflicted with a spade-handle by the prisoner, assisted by two other persons named Maher and Howell. ' The most extraordinary contradiction existed between the informations of the witnesses and their evidence at the trial. The case for the Crown having closed, Mr. HAMAR]) rose and said, it now became his duty to offer such observations as occurred to him during the progress of this trial. The prisoner at the bar was a man of unimpeach able character, and one whom he would prove to be the last man to commit such a crime as that imputed to him. The jury, no doubt, would ask what could be the reason for the prisoner's committing such an act, when they had it in evi dence that the Neilles and Kennedys lived on the best terms. —(The Learned Counsel here animadverted at some length on the discrepancy between the informations of the witnesses and what they had sworn there that day.) Contrast them, he said, with what they had sworn, and he was sure the jury would not believe one word they had spoken, for it was an after-thought of them in tacking the prisoner's name into their informations. James Bren examined by Mr. Rouzsrom—Recollect, William and Hugh Kennedy coming to my house and telling me their father was beaten. Was in bed, and said I would not get up unless they told me who did it. They then said it was Howell and Maher, and another man whom they did not know. Then got up and went to the police barracks at Knocking - lass. It was not long till head constable Burke arrived, when he arrested Maher and Howell. To the CouRT—I am sure neither of the Kennedy's, when they came to my house, mentioned Nellie was one oftheparty-. William Poe, Esq., spoke of the prisoner as a 'man of ex• cellent character. Mr. SAUSSE replied on the part of the Crown to the evi• dence produced for the prisoner. If the prisoner at the bar was not the person who committed the murder, it must be it mistake on the part of the witnesses as to his identification, for it appears they really conceived he was of the party. The Learned Judge (Baron RicirAnm) summed up the evidence. After remarking on the barbarity of the murder. his Lordship remarked that it was his impression that the Kennedys did not go there that day corrupted to swear what was not the truth • but at the same time he conceived they were labouring under a mistake as to the.identity of the man ; they swore, no doubt, what they really and conscientiously believed to be the case ; but then there was a probability, or a possibility, as to their being mistaken in the man. The Learned Judge then began to read over the entire evidence, and animadverted thereon as he proceeded. The jury, after a short deliberation, came into Court with a verdict of guilty against the prisoner. Mr. Cooke, one o the jurors, begged, on behalf of his brother jurors, to recommend the prisoner to mercy. His LORDSHIP said, it but remained for him to pass the sen tence of the law, and, of course, their recommendation would . be forwarded to the Government. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM TUE PACIFIC.—The Vindictive, 50, Captain J. Toup Nicolas, arrived at Ports mouth on Frida3-, from• South America and the Pacific. having on board Mr. Pritchard, the British Consul for Tahiti, who had been forcibly expelled from that island, after having first been arrested and thrown into prison by the French authorities there. The British Consul had not in any way committed the slightest offence against the usurpers of Queen Pomare's authority except affording shelter to the deposed Queen in the hour of her affliction previous to her seeking it on board one of her Majesty's ships. Ile was released from prison, after several days' im prisonmeut, at the intervention of Commander Gordon of her- Majesty's steamer Cormorant, on the condition that he wan not to be landed again on either of the Society Islands. He was not permitted to proceed to his home, but put on board the steamer at once, after she had got outside the harbour, leaving his wife and property behind him. The Cormorant sailed from Tahiti to Valparasio, where she arrived on the 28th of April. At Valparasio Mr. Pritchard embarked on board the Vindictive, which sailed thence on the Ist of May for Rio de Janeiro and England. - The Hampshire Telegraph in adverting to this subject * states : " We have always thought, and the arrival of this ship confirms us in our opinion, that it was a most fortunate cir cumstance for the peace of England and France, that the Dublin, 50, was the only ship present when Du Petit Thouars deposed the Queen Pomare. Hied the Vindictive been there also the impudent act would not have been attempted, or it would have been resisted, and no doubt in such away as would have done honour to the British flag. It is now clear, from some correspondence that has been laid before us, that Thouars is a gasconading Frenchman; that he has exceeded his authority, that he has admitted he has done so, that he has told most abominable lies, and to conceal them he pur posely delayed English dispatches committed to his care, to be forwarded on his own word of honour with lais own, and that he has in every way obeyed the wishes of his em ployers, the Punt* de Joinville• and Monsieur Thiers (the organs of Jeune France). It appears that Captain Nicolas, in April, having a knowledge that the Frenchman in autho rity at Tahiti (Mons. D'Aubigny) had put Mr. Pritchard in confinement, refused either to salute Admiral Thouars or visit him, unless he, in the presence of witnesses, or in writing, disavowed the act ; and also insisted that Du Petit Thouars should express his regret that this D'AufAkny had insulted the British standard by trampling on it, and glorying lie had put it where it ought to be,-=in the dirt. After some hesitation these concessions were granted, and the salute was tired and visit made, accompatued by Cap tain Lord G. Paulet and Commander Hamond, the latter of whom acted as a sort of second between the comba tants. On this and the return visit, interesting conversations took place, the precis of which has been submitted to our Government, and also to the King of the French, authenti cated in such a manner that any contrary account given by the French party will at once be disbelieved. In Europe it is known that Thouars had dispossessed the Queen of her power, property, and authority in the Pacific. He declared to Captain Nicolas he had only put her aside (en outre), but that she was not dep r i ve d o f h er r i g hts as Queen, ex ce pti ng as regarded her forei gn relations! , Thouars admitted to Captain Nicolas he had done too mach, and France for the present must be satisfied with the' Marquesas. He was sure his Government would not sanction his acts. In England in the Pacific. They have two 50-gun ships in the Ri o Pl ate, we are hardly aware of the force the French can concent ra t e three of the same force in China, three at Otaheite and West Coast of America, and about six 22-gun corvettes. This force must have an object which the protecti on o f French traffic does not require.' The Vindictive has brought home a large freight of specie and jewels, to the value of nearly a million and a had of immediately. top.galiai ' dollars. She went . into harbour on S aturday, where will be dismantled and paid off, and brought forward'forward'`for t mast,She has ad a l l an read ded y , po ben rti t on : her f her stores. sa rec il o s ln , s m tr i u ss c i k on her A Court martial is about to take t - Dp ee a evonport„ for the trial of Lieutenant Gray, late of her I";iajesty's ship Bo netta, for boarding a French vessel, and w*iela. has been com plained of by the French Consul of one, •6f the settlementiin Africa. A Court-martial was held on beef,' ,the St. Vincent, at. Devonport, on Wednesday last, for ttie trial of John Noble, a private marine, belonging to her Zdajesty's ship Madagas car, 44, Captain F. Foot, on a charge of stabbing Mr. Pre thero, Midshipman on board the eama ship. The Presidia of the Court was Admiral Sir David ; the other Mem bers were Rear-Admiral Sir Samnel Pym, Captain I. T. Rowley, Commander S. Wreford, rand W. T. Grauville; De puty Judge-Advocate, George Eastlake, Esq. The Court, after having heard the evidence adduced against the pri soner, as well as that broutit forward on his bebalf, was of opinion that he was guilt; of the charge, and sentenced him to death. It is not, however, expected that the extreme sea • tepee will be carried out, as Captain Foote came forward and gave the prisoner a most excellent character.
