IMPi!,RIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Oct. 10. This being the day to which Parliament wa3 prorogued both Houses met, for the purpose of further proroguing then tid December. Shortly after one o'clock the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wharncliffe, and the Earl of Dalhousie, dressed as L , )rds Commissioners, took their seats blow the the Throne, and Mr. Putman, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, was ordered by their Lordships to summon the House of Commons, to hear her Majesty's Commis sion for the further prorogation of Parliament read. Mr. Pulman then retired from the House to summon the Commons, and in a few minutes Mr. Ley. the junior table clerk, together with several other officers of the House of Commons, appeared at the bar. The commission for the further prorogation of Par liament was then rend by the clerk at the table, at the conclusion of which, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the name of her Majesty, declared the Parliament prorogued to Thursday, the 12th of December. The whole proceeding did not occupy their Lordships ten minutes. ti PUBLIC JOURNALS. r:1101I THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDAE,D.—Tus REVENUE —We are most h ,p_ry it) b-ing able to state that the public revenue ti!e quarter ending to-day will show a very con si.lerz,!e increa-e on the corresponding quarter of last year. The accounts, h weever, not having been 11 received, the exact amount of increase cannot, at t tinie of our going to press, be ascertained. In 'ilst.,o;s it is most gratifying to announce that e ;,n increase of between 400,0001. and 500,0001. s , Il the account to be made up this evening, as corn ' are ' iv th the corresponding quarter of last year. In the important department of Excise the accounts, as far as they have been received, appear eb.iut the same as in the corresponding quarter of last year. In the Post-office there is an increase, probably ab ,ut 20,0001., on the quarter. In the revenue derived from Stamps and Miscellaneous Taxes there is little variation.. The Property-tax, we understand, has realised about the same amount as on former quarters, but there will appear a small de crease in consequence of the re-payment of moneys to parties who had been improperly assessed. On the whole the revenue for the quarter will exhibit a con siderable increase—a certain index that the trade and comMerce of the country are improving. GLOBE.—The immense pile of buildings boas , known as the Fleet Prison, is offered for sale by public competition. The site occupied by them will, of course, be appropriated to what are usually termed " metropolitan improvements." The nature of these "improvements" will he the subject of grave delibe • ration. Whether the space thus obtained will be covered with spacious streets, formed of splendid shops, whose windows, bedizened with bur nished brass, and at night illuminated by gas, will be the admired of all beholders; or whether the fevourable opportunity will be seized upon for providing some much-required means for improving the house-accommodation of the labouring classes in that vicinity, limn the topic of daily gossip me of grave discussion in many circles. To us the present seems to offer a. favourable opportunity for improv ing the physical condition of the labouring poor of that densely-crowded neighbourhood, who have Thug made the lines of wretched lanes and alleys between Holborn and Clerkenwell their resort. Previously to the demolition of the many dilapidated dwellings whose removal was required for the new street in a line with Farringdon-street, the numbers of squalid beings which were crowded into these houses—two, and in some three, families being the occupants of a single room—generated fever, and other diseases which are produced and fos tered by filth and imperfect ventilation. The forced removal of the former denizens of the destroyed houses has driven them into others, which yet remain. Such is now the crowded condition of these filthy receptacles of the lower classes, that the parochial officers, and others whole attention has been drawn to the subject, enter tain serious apprehensions for the public health ; and unless some nu:ens of providing suitable duel. lings for the surplus population be devised their fears are likely to be realised. The evidence given before the Health of Towns Committee, among other important facts, proved thit disease and death have receirly increased in the localities where the lowest 'clogs ref the labouring peer chiefly dwell. The exce=l •.ssiesee I by the rnedual men who were exa !uineil on this point is worthy of attention. They agreed in opinion, that the improvements that have wide in different crowded districts of the metro poll- a-A compelled the poor people, who chiefly inha bit. 1 houses which had been pulled down to make way for :hese improvements, to seek admission to simi lar dwelling,: in the adjacent parts. The addition of so many new inmates to houses which were already more than lid, d with occupants, generated miasma. Thus in ems dist.ase and death were introduced; acid these effects will continue to re ult, in an increased ratio, if the cause be .not arrested by these who are, or ought to- be, invested with power to watch over and pro vide for the public safety. Death, to use an Irish phrase, stalks through many of our streets. The woinir is, not that his victims are so many; but that —with the ands afforded to his ministers by tile neglect of She means by which they may be kept at bay—the death-stricken are so few. It is iii vain to leave the question to the con-tant and exclu sive care of Parliament. The Legislature will not act a patriotic or enlightened part, if it do not invest the people with the power of helping themselves in this, awl such like matters. If part of the money expended in making, and the care bestowed on im proving, great thorougfares, were extended to provtd- ing means for preserving the health of the poor and partially destitute, by improving the dwellings they in habit, and in providing others, the occasion for hospi tals, supported by public charity, and union houses, maintained by compulsory rates, would be greatly les sened. Were Governments wise, they would dimi nish their labours. If they were actuated by the purest and most benevolent intentions in all matters they undertake to manage, the limit which time sets to all human exertions would thwart the honest pur pose. There never existed, from the creation of the world till now, a Government of experience so ex tensive and various, or of mind so active and inde fatigable, a 3 to be able to conceive and grapple with the manifold wants of the community. Yet this is the impossible undertaking the respon sibility of which successive administrations have been ambitious to assume ! There seems to be no reason, beyond the reluctance of the rulers of the land, why the inhabitants of every locality should not have the power conceded to them of dealing with mat ters that relate to the improvement of the respective districts. The Parliament is barely competent to the functions of supreme government (if judgment may be formed by the snail-like pace of its proceedings) where the general interest of the nation is involved. Can it stop in its course of national legislation to deli berate with advantage upon the peculiar condition of districts ? Such a system resembles the half-fertile, helf-desert Egypt. Its great river inundates and fer tilises the country through which it passes; but im mense tracts beyond are unrefreshed by its bounties. A country which should everywhere have competent Veal authorities to watch the rising of its wants in every quarter, end to supply them, would be as one wetere 1 this,ughout, and at all times, by springs, streems, and rivers tributary to each other, and by their all'ed resources, covering the face of the land with fertility and gladness. NloN EY .1' ARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. C!I RONICI.E.—The prospectus of the " New Gra na !a Company" has bees broeght out, or, more properly to 'a rite, we say that it has been officially an nounced that the New Granada Company " has been forea , d." We are fold that this Company has been formed because the holders of Colombian Bonds " are n„t an A , s , ,ciated body," and that, therefore, they are not in a s tuation to avail themselves of the proposals made loy the Government of New Granada for assigning to them, at a fixed price, tobacco of the factories of the Republic, in payment of the interest on the proportion of the foreign debt of the Republic attaching to New Granada. The circular states that the New Granada Company is also ready to undertake the agency of the New Granada Company in London, in all matters re specting its foreign debt ; and with this end it has been already orovided with a board of directors, six in num ber, who are to be remunerated by assigning to them " one-tenth share of the net benefits which may be made by the Company." It does not appear how or in what manner " the board " was called into existence. They appear before the public ready rondo to order, and not in the light of a provisional cdmrnittee, or as holding office until their appointment should be confirmed by a general meeting of Shareholders. Nothing of this kind is to be permitted. It is at once openly and unconditionally announced that the affairs of the Company " are to be managed" by the Directors narnal in the circular, one of whom only is to go out of °glee annually, and " to be immediately re eligible." This is really taking care of the main chance, and keeping the good things amongst themselves in a nice, snug little family way. It occurs to us, neverthe less, that it would have been more consistent with prac tice, if " the board" had been left open for the choice of the Shareholders, after the proposed capital of 200,0001. in 10,000 shares had been subscribed, and if time and opportunity had been afforded to the Bondholders, by means of a public meeting, to consider the proposals made by the Government of New Granada, and the proper course i5hi;..11 should be adopted for the protec tion of their interests. It is quite plain that the opinions of the Bondholders should have been ascertained by a public meeting, previous to the constitution of this New Granada Company, of which more than the name of one member of the Committee of Bondholders appears in the list of self-constituted Directors. In Shares there was a fair amount of business trans acted. Another scheme for a line to Portsmouth has made its appearance, and has had the effect of lowering the price both.of the South-Western and Brighton shares. It was also known in the market this morning that the Midland Company had determined on raising a fresh capital, to the extent of two-and-a-half millions, by an issue of shares of 401. each, on which 4 per cent. is to be guaranteed, for the purpose of forming branches to the south, in order to place an effectual check upon the pro posals for a line to York direct. A good deal of excite meat and large speculative business was transacted in the shares of the companies competing for the line from Orleans to Tours and Bordeaux ; but as to-day is fixed for the awarding of the line, the doubts presently enter tained will be set at rest most probably in the course of to-morrow (this day). In the meantime, the shares of that which may be the successful company have been dealt in as high as 4 prem. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 10. IN RE JAMES GOMMES. The insolvent had carried on an extensive business in Castle-street, Oxford-street, and the amount of debts which appeared in his schedule were 3,3721., and one of the items which appeared in explanation on the debit side was 3601. for loss by discount and bill stamps. Another item also which appeared on the debit side of the schedule was 4001. by loss sus tained in fitting up the royal yacht. The system which he pursued was to get one of his journeymen to accept a bill, and then, representing him to be a per son of the first respectability, induce the friends of his (insolvent's) family to discount them. Of course the bills were never paid. He had succeeded in bor rowing money from his father and grandfather to the amount of 1,5001., not one penny of which had been ever repaid to them. A host of persons to whom those bills had been passed opposed. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he hai seldom witnessed a grosser or more unfeeling case of fraud and inhumanity. His treatment of his aged parents had been crael in the extreme, and nothing could be more fraudulent than getting his journey men to accept bills for him waen the men were earn ing only 253. a week. The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned for six months from the date of his vesting order. TVIIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of Magistrates.) Yesterday was appointed for receiving and considering applications for music and dancing licenses, under the Act of the 25th George IL, cap. 36, when there was a very numerous attendance of magistrates on thedaench. All the licenses of last year were allowed without op position. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared on behalf of a large and most respectable body of licensed victuallers, said that, previous to making any application, he wished to ad dress a few remarks to the Bench. The late alteration in the law with respect to theatrical performances must have relieved the magistrates from much of the difficul ties under which they had previously laboured, for if any person now wanted to see Shakespeare they were com pelled to go to Sadler's Wells Theatre, which was licensed pursuant to this very Act. At the present moment, ac cording to the provisions of the recent Act, if a number of respectable persons were to assemble at a dinner or party in a tavern not thus licensed, and that any music or dancing occurred, every one of them was liable to be taken into custody by the police; and therefore he consi dered it of vast importance that magistrates should ex ercise the utmost caution and discretion as to how they refused to grant such a license to a person who conducted his house respectably and orderly. The tastes of the people were daily becoming more refined and cultivated with respect to music, and their means being limited, they were debarred from going to places of dear enter tainment, and he therefore trusted that the magistrates by their decision to-day would not subject those persons who entered a house which was well conducted, but where there might be a song sung or a jig danced, to be taken out of the house and dragged to gaol like common felons. The Learned Gentleman concluded by applying for a music and dancing license on behalf of George Mark Perren, of the Red Lion Tavern, in the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel. Mr. GIBSON said he had known the house for sixty years, which did a deal of business during that time, and he therefore felt confident that the landlord was not ne• cessitated to seek for a music license to increase , profits. He admitted that the house had been well con ducted, but when he first he ird that a music and dancing license was about to be sought for this house, he made inquiries of the employers of the labouring cliv.ses in the neighbourhood upon the subject ; they all said it would he only an enticement to the men to waste their money. He was sure it would be a house for dancing and singing for young persons, and under all the circumstances of the ease he felt bound to oppose the application. Mr. PLUCK said there were already three of those houses in that neighbourhood, and he should, therefore, strongly oppose the application. Mr. FnESuFIELD thought that all the arguments urged against granting those licenses were the very reason. which should induce the bench to grant them. It had been said that the person who kept the house was doing a good business, and, therefore, did not require to in• cr-use his profits. This he (Mr. Freshfield) thought was rather an f xtraordinary doctrine, and one which might be termed " stand still ' doctrine. The man had a good property according to the statements, and, therefore, was no adventurer, but would, for his own sake, con duct his house properly. He•certainly could not see any reason why the people should be deprived of the means of i,inocent and rational amusement, and there was a guarantee for the good conduct of those houses, in consequence of their being under the immediate sur veillance of the police. He, for one, would support by every means in his power this application. The question was then put as to whether the applica tion be granted or not, and upon being put to a show of hands every one was held up against it, excepting that of Mr. Freshfield.—The application was consequently refused. Up to the time of our going to press, the following is the result of the list of applications : George Marks Perren, Red Lion, Roadside, White chapel—Reuscd. Henry Eaton, the Cherry Tree Inn, at Southgate, parish of Edmonton—Granted. Richard Reily Cragg, Royal Oak, Roadside, White. chapel—Refused. John James Jones, Prince of Wales, Charles-stre& t, Mile-end Old-town —Refused. Mary Anderson, King's Arms Tavern, High-stre( t, Kensington—Granted. John Stainforth, the Angel, 150, High-street, Poplar —Refused. John Worth, Blue Anchor, Roadside, Whitechapel— Refused. James Hunter, Windsor Castle, 27. Long-acre— Gran ted. William Tyson, the Hay-field, Roadside, Mile-end Old-town—Refused. The following three applications were struck out in consfAuence of the non-attendance of the applicants : William Smeed, Crown and Sceptre, Brompton. row, Kensington. John Headove, the Stag, Fulham-road, Chelsea. Frederick Wcdenbank Michell°, Edinburgh Castle, Stanhope-street, Morning ton-road, St. Pancras. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEIV WELL. Catherine Sheehan was charged with violently assaulting police-constable Young, 62 E. The constable's face was much torn. The magis trate desired him to expose his right arm, and every one present was horrified at the appearance the upper part of it presented. The flesh had been literally gnawed to the bone ; it v; as of a livid colour, and the marks of human teeth were painfully visible in several places. lie seemed to be suffering great pain, and the limb was much swollen. The constable deposed, that on the previous night the prisoner was creating a violent disturbance in Marchrnont-place, Brunswick-square, and had, by her shouts and cries, attracted a mob of 200 persons. The constable remonstrated with her, and she then went a way, but in a few minutes after attacked a house in Ceram-place, where the woman with whom she had been contending took shelter, and actually smashed in the door. The constable was again called upon, and, on his arrival, took her into costody. The complainant had no sooner laid Ins hand upon her than she threw herself on the ground, and used her arms and legs with such effect, that she inflicted several cuts and contu sions upon his face and limbs. The constable took hold of her for the purpose of raising her from the ground, when she seized him by the arm, and, forcing it into her mouth, sunk her teeth into it until they almost met in the flesh. All the force of the constable, who writhed with pain, could n9t dislodge her ; she faster.ed on him like a tigress ; and when at length assistance arrived, the flesh had been gnawed into a mummy. Mary Anne Murphy corroborated the constable's statement in every respect. She bore testimony to his extreme forbearance and to her ferocity. Mr. GREENWOOD said her conduct more resembled that of an enraged wild beast than of a human being. He would sentence her to one month's imprisonment, without the power of releasing herself by the payment of a fine. Mr. Richard James Chapman, who described him self as an actor at Drury-lane Theatre, residing at 11'ellington-square, appeared upon remand to answer a charge preferred against him by his wife Emma. The preceding part of the case appeared in The Sun of Tuesday, and it will be recollected that it was postponed at the defendant's request, in order to enable him to rebut the complainant's testimony, which, he alleged, he could do by the production of witnesses. Ile, however, failed to convince the ma gistrate, who ordered him to pay a fine of V. Defendant—l won't pay a farthing. Mr. GREENWOOD—Then you must go to the House of Correction for a month. Defendant—Then I will go. He was committed accordingly. Jain Conent, a decent-looking man, was brought up on a warrant charged b} Miss Angelina Solomons, of No. 12, St ore - s t reet , B e df or d- square , w ith th re atening to murder and burn her. Miss SolomonsdepOsed to the fact of the threat, and that she was in fear of her life, and was about to enter into the circumstances, when Mr. GREENWOOD stopped her saying, " That will do, that is enough," I won't hear any more. Margaret Payne, servant to Miss Solomons—" On Sa turday last"-- Mr. GREENWOOD—I won't hear anything about Satur day last. You must tell only what occurred on Monday, the day upon which it is alleged the threat took place. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY monNiN'G, 06TOBEit:11, 1844 Mr. GREENWOOD to the prisoner—Have you any questions to ask, Miss Solomons ? The defendant was about to enter into his defence, when he was again asked if he had any questions to ask. He replied in the negative, but added, my wife is here and I wish to call her to show -- Mr. GREENWOOD—I can't hear your wife, you must find bail.—The man was locked up. BOW-STREET. A labouring man, named George Nunn, was brought before Mr. Hall, charged with assaulting Isaac Whiel don. a sheriffs' officer, while in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that he had a warrant of dis tress to execute on the prisoner's goods yesterday, and on going to his room in Little Russell-street, to seize under the warrant, the prisoner, who was there, said he should go to prison, and not have his goods seized. The witness told him that the law was altered, and he could not go to prison. " Oh, then," said the prisoner. " I'll have it out of you"—(Laughter)—and he was as good as his v;ord,for he immediately struck the witness in the eye, and in other parts of his face. A policeman was called, and the prisoner was given into custody. When in cus tody he kicked the officer on the legs. The prisoner, in his defence, said that the com plainant, with two or three other men. came to his house, and they wanted to take the bed from under his wife. They also wanted him to find them a candle to light them, and this he refused to do. Before they came he had no idea of there being a warrant out against him. Mr. HALL—It is a very common thing in these little civil courts, for judgment to be obtained without the defendant knowing anything about it. It was a great pity, if there was a good defence to the action, that a proper person was not instructed to defend it. Prisoner—l knew nothing about it, Sir. Mr. HALL—WeII, I hope this will be a lesson to you not to get into debt again. People like you are tempted to get into debt until they contract a debt of a certain amount, and then there is no mercy shown to them by the creditor. Prisoner—That is my case, Sir Mr. HALL—I suppose you are a ruined man ? Pri soner—Yes, I am, Sir. Mr. HALL—I have no doubt that yours is a hard case; hut lam compelled to notice this assault. Considering, however, your unfortunate situation, I shall not inflict so severe a fine as I otherwise should have done. You must pay a fine of 55., or be imprisoned five days. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Wednesday a solicitor, whose name did not tran spire, applied to Mr. Maltby, on behalf of a person named Harlow, who some time since was convicted by Mr. Maltby in the penalty of 501. for being con cerned in a gaming -house, at 16, Leicester-place, Leicester-square, for a restoration of the penalty, the conviction having been quashed the previous day at the Middlesex Sessions. Mr. MALTBY said, said that the money was not in his keeping, it having been paid over in the usual way to Mr. Ray, the Receiver-General, and the application must therefore be made in another quarter. The solicitor said that the money had been paid into that Court on the day of the conviction, and he had then warned the magistrate not to part with it, a notice of appeal having been then given, and in the event of of a verdict in favour of the defendant the money would have to be returned. He, therefore, could only look to the magistrate for its rest-Tation ; and if the money had been parted with, it would be for the magistrate to deal with that part of the matter. Mr. MALTBY stat'd it as his opin'on that the so licitor was in error in applying to him. The money was not in his custody, and he would have nothing further to do with the subject. The solicitor replied that, as he had not met with a satisfactory answer, without meaning any disrespect to the bench, the magistrate must be prepared for the lend consequences. ' 'Mr. MALTBY was decidedly of opinion that the application should be made to the Receiver-General, or to the Lords of the Treasury, and not to him, as the convicting magistrate. The solicitor then left the court. stated that, as he was crossing the bridge over the Regent's Canal at the bottom of Great Cambridge street. Hackney-road, on the preceding afternoon, be tween three and four o'clock, he saw the prisoner, who had an air of great despondency, pacing up and down the towing-path on the side of the canal, and anxiously looking at the water. Suspecting she con templated self-destruction, he thought it his duty to watch her; and after waiting some time he saw her take a hasty glance round, to see if she was observed, and then, without taking off her bonnet, shawl, or any of her attire, make a sudden rush towards the water and plunge into it. Witness called $) two gentlemen for assistance, and one of them, who had a walking-stick, ran down the bank, and when the pri soner rose to the surface, succeeded in catching hold of her clothes with the hook of his stick, and support ing her until, by their joint exertions, they conld ex tricate her. She was then conveyed in a state of total insensibility to an adjoining public-house, where, after more than an hour had been spent in unre• mitting exertions, she was at length restored to animation. Sergeant Godfrey, having received information of the occurrence at the station, went to the public house, and found the prisoner in bed in such a dread ful state of exhaustion as to be incapable of uttering a word ; and though he had questioned her several times subsequently, she persisted in maintaining an obstinate silence, and had not uttered a word since she had been taken out of the water. The prisoner had shown three distinct intentions to commit the act before she had succeeded, but was prevented each time by the passage of barges through the bridge. The prisoner's sister, a young married womnn, was in court, and could perhaps explain the cause of the prisoner's conduct. The sister, a respectable-looking woman, stood for ward, and said that the prisoner had been for some time past in a very desponding state in consequence of being most heartlessly treated by a printer at Eloxton, who had seduced her under a positive pro mise of marriage, and then abandoned her. Mr. BROUGHTON put several questions to the pri soner, who appeared completely overwhelmed with grief and shame, and in a very faint and almost in articulate tone of voice she said, that, having met ker seducer yesterday morning in the street, she ear nestly entreated him to fulfil his promises to her, but that he had treated her with the greatest coldness, and, making her a careless answer, turned away ; which ingratitude stung her so keenly that she re solved upon self-destruction. The Magistrate was about to put another question to her, when the unfortunate creature, whose feelings appeared completely crushed, and who had been swaying about in the bar, suddenly fainted and dropped in the dock, but was saved from hurting her. self by Grove, the gaoler, who carried her out into the air. On being restored to consciousness, she was again brought in, and Mr. BROUGHTON, after feelingly admonishing her upon the heinousness of the offence she had committed, said that it was quite manifest that in the prisoner's then state of mind it would he highly improper to set her at liberty, as there was every probability she would repeat the attempt ; he should therefore direct her to be placed in the infirmary of the New Prison, where every kindness and attention would be shown her, and she might, perhaps, in the course of a week be restored to a proper sense of her situation. The prisoner's sister, however, earnestly besought the Magistrate not to send her sister to prison, and begged of him to allow her to take the prisoner home with her, promising, if he would, to treat her with the utmost gentleness. Mr. BROUGHTON ultimately acceded to this request, an I the prisoner, who still appeared very wretched, was delivered up to, and left the court , with her sister. ip ~.. LAMBETH-STREET '. On Wednesday Wm. Duval, an American sailor on hoard the I), ince Oscar, an English vessel at present iyi.og in the London Docks, was charged with the ferocious act of "gouging," or forcing one of the eyes of his c.,`otain (Lawson) from its socket , and i nflictin g GthQr injuiies upon him. It was pre : wed in evidence that on the preceding afternoon the pi ,‘itoner was directed to superintend the topsail sheets of 112 e vessel, and, in doing so, some words took place between him and the chief mate. The prisoner then went towards the captain, who was on deck, and demanded his wages for some days which were due to him. The captain told him that if he did not conduct himself in a proper manner, he must either go below or on shore. The prisoner be came more impudent, upon which Captain Lawson laid hold of him to put him out of the vessel, and a struggle ensued, during which the prisoner made use of the most violent exclamations, and, amongst other things, said, " Only let me get once clear, and I'll do for you." The prisoner, who is a powerful fellow, managed to overpower the captain, and get on the top of him, when, forcing the end of his thumb under the ey e v he forced it from the socket. Captain Lawson i ns holly shrieked, and exclaimed, "Oh, he's got my eye out . 1" and two of the men on board., who had seen their cal,.tain's eye resting upon his chiek, became so sick that so.'s rue moments elapsed before they could g o to his assistanc' and secure the prisoner. Captai n Lawson, with gre:`t Presence of mind, replaced his eye in the socket, but, ! V I addition t o this in j ur y , it was found he had sprained hi.' ancle. He was removed to the London Hospital, paid to him. w h t •re every attention was A certificate from that institulki" was a a fit state to stating that Captain Lawson was not hospital at attend to give his evidence, or leave the present, and it was stated that there were ;:ut faint holes entertained of restoring the sight of his eye. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, careless], I replied that he vas in such a state of mind at the time as to be unable to control his passion, and un conscious of what he did. He was remanded to a future day, when Captain Lawson will be a ble to attend and prosecute him. NION•. Wednesday, one of the guardians of Newington, accompanied by Mr. Cox, the master of the parish workhouse, attended for the purpose of giving an explanation relative to a statement made on the pre ceding day by one of the paupers, and which was calculated to reflect on the conduct of the Board of Guardians, in their mode of sending able-bodied young men to New South Wales. The young man who had made the complaint the preceding day, in which he st a t e d th a t h e an d fi ve other paupers had.been induced to consent to go out to New South Wales on the promise that they would be furnished with food and shelter on their landing, having repeated the statement, Mr. COTTINGHAM now requested to be informed by the parish officers present whether the young man's account was correct. Mr. Cox said that, about six months ago, a char tered vessel was going out to New South Wales, and that he was informed a passage would be found for some strong young men who wished to emigrate and obtain work in that colony; that he brought the sub ject before the Board of Guardians, and an outfit of 51. was offered to those in the house who wished to avail themselves, and a free passage out ; that the man who had complained at once acceded to the offer, and, in fact, memorialised the Board on the subject, and was accordingly supplied with clothes for the voyage, and, with five other men, embarked on board the vessel which was to have conveyed them to Hobart-town. The man alluded to, whose name is Cox, however, was persuaded by his sisters not to quit England, pro mising that they would contribute to his support, and he adopted their advice, left the ship, and although be had put the parish to a good deal of trouble and expense, he now complained that he was refused ad mission into the workhouse. Mr. Cox here produced his entry of the circumstance made at the time, con taining the promise of the young man's sister to maintain him if he stayed at home. The master added, that four of the men went out to New South Wales, and that there was every expectation enter tained of their doing very well in that country. Mr. COTTINGHAM—The young man stated to me the reason he did not go on the voyage was in conse quence of the captain of the vessel informing him that he wouli be cast adrift on landing, atter having been promised by the board of guardians that he would be furnished with food and shelter until he got into work. Mr. Cox said that he was convinced no promise of the kind was made by the board of guardians, and that, in addition to the outfit, the captain had 3/. given to him to divide between the six men when they went ashore. Mr. COTTINGHAM—But what prospect had the poor wretches when they landed from the ship in a strange country ? Men in their deplorable condition work ing in the stone-yard of a parish workhouse would, no doubt, avail themselves of such an offer as to go abroad, under the supposition of bettering their con dition, but what provision had the guardians made for the men in case they could not procure employ. ment on their arrival ? The guardian of the parish explainer], that when the subject of sending some of the able-bodied paupers abroad was first brought before the hoard considerable discussion ensued on the point, and that they were at first opposed to it, but at length con sented to give them an outfit each, under the impres sion, that being hearty and hale young men, their condition would be improved on their emigrating to one of the colonies; this alone was the object of the guardians, and was not carried into effect merely with the view to get rid of the men out of the work house. Mr. COTTINGIIAM—But what were they to do in a strange land if they could not get work? Have the guardians any agent or institution ready to receive such persons as they send out to New South Wales ? —Mr. Cox admitted that the guardians had no agent or institution at Hobart-town, but he (the master) tad been given to understand that Government pro vided a receptacle for such persons, and that they were employed at road-making in the colony until they got regular work from the settlers. Mr. COTTINGITANI asked him from what source he' had his information ?—Mr. Cox said, that he heard it on board the very ship the paupers went out in, and that stout men were gladly caught -up and em ployed on landing. He added, that tEe man who made the complaint must have uttered a. falsehood in asserting that the captain informed him and the other paupers they would be sent adrift in the colony, and that he had also asserted a falsehood in stating that the guardians had promised him food and shelter until he got work. Mr. COTTINGHAM questioned Cox on the subject, and he varied in some degree from his former state ment, by saying that a man named Sanderson had communicated to him the words which he (Cox) had attributed to the captain of the vessel. He also said that his sister's entreaties for him to remain at home had great weight with him, but he still declared that when he was before the hoard the chairman informed him that he would have food and shelter until he ob tained employment. Mr. Cox said that the board of guardians had be haved very liberally on the ( ccasion, and that the men voluntarily offered to go out of the country. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, if the guardians had satis factorily ascertained that an establishment was open for the reception of those poor creatures who were sent out under such circumstances as those above de scribed, then there would be no harm in shipping them off if they consented to go ; but, on the con trary, if there were no such receptacle, then it would be exposing destitute persons to hardships of a most severe kind, and in a country, too, where none of them had families or friends to fall back upon. The fact of Government having such a place at Hobart town for the purpose should be most satisfactorily ascertained before persons like the distressed man making the complaint were shipped off to such a dis tantcountry. _ _ Mr. Cox mentioned an instance where two persons who went out to the above colony, known to him, were in a very thriving condition thiere. In reply to Mr. COTTINGITAM, the master of the workhouse said that but few were sent out to the colony from the parish, and those who did go went out voluntarily. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that the manner in which the business of emigration was managed was calcu lated to excite a rather unfavourable impression ; that he had expressed his strong disapprobation on being first apprised of the circumstances under which men were transported to a distant colony ; but on hearing that a receptacle was prepared for their arrival, it altered very materially his opinion on the subject, if such were the case. He, however, thought that the young man refusing to leave England ought not to have induced the guardians of the parish to refuse him re-admission into the workhouse, as it appeared his objection was owing to that which he heard on going on board of he vessel. After some further conversation on the matter, it was arranged the young man should he taken into the workhouse, on producing a certificate of his ill state of health.—The Fifties then withdrew. James Gruby, a well-dressed man, pretending to hold a situation in Somerset House, was charged with swindling on an exteesive scale. The prisoner took apartments at a house in Walcot quare, Lambeth, and succeeded in obtaining a quantity of property from tailors, boot-makers, butchers, and other tradesmen. His plan was to give out that he held a situation in Somerset House, and then order in good, of various descriptions, the greater portion of which. it appeared, he had disposed of and then decamped, and nothing was h=ard of him until the preceding day, when he was given into custody. Inspector Jopp said that there were at least one hundred charges of a similar kind against the prisoner. The prisoner said he was in embarrassed circumstances at present, but that he intended to pay all the trades. men. He contended that they were all debts, and that they could not be construed into felony. The Inspector said 651. was found on him. MAGISTRATE—Take the numbers of the notes. The prisoner explained that he received the money for the lease ors house. The MAGISTRATE regretted he must discharge the prisoner, but the notes v+ere impounded until to-mororw.

BOROUGH OF LAMBETH REGIS TRATION. The revision of the lists of voters for the borough of Lambeth was com•nenced yesterday by , Mr. Deedes, th After the re vision the Sessions House, Stone s-end. the Mr. Sidney Smith appeared on behalf of t he free trade i n :erests ; no one ostensibly appeared to suppo rt the Consen`ative interest of the borough vision of the list of voters for St. Giles, Camberwell, the list for the parish of St. Mary, Lam beth, was proceeded with. Thomas Adcock ci.7insed to be on the register in re spect to two rooms. The REVISING BARRISTER inquired who appeared to support the claim 7—Mr. Sidney Smith said he did. The REVISING BARRISTER sail he had not complied with the Act of Parliament, which required persons to hand in a list of the parties for whom they appeared. He then called his attention to the section of the Act to which he referred. Was Mr. Smith prepared to sub stantiate Adcock's claim ? Mr. Smith regretted that he was not prepared to do so, the claimant was not in attendance, neither was it likely that he would be in attendance, as persons in the lower ranks of life could ill afford to lose their time in attend ing the Court. The REVISING BARRISTER said Adcock claimed in respect of a room—now, the Act expressly mentioned a " house, shop, counting house, or warehouse," but not a room. He should be glad to hear the question argued, htit he must have evidence, on oath, before he could allow claims. As the person did not appear to support his claim, and, as no evidence was produced, it was dis allowed, as also were the claims of several other persons on similar grounds. TERRIFIC FIRE. IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Throughout the whole of Wednesday and yesterday the village of Northfleet, near Gravesend, presented a scene of the utmost alarm and consternation, in conse quence of the outbreak of a most extensive fire upon the premises of Mr. Mice, farmer, residing in Parry-street, about one mile this side of Gravesend. The premises in question occupied an area of ground of near eight acres. That part in which the fire commenced was the homestead. The fire was first perceived about a quarter to nine, raging in two distinct places in a rick of beans. An attempt was made to extinguish it, but it defied the exertion of all present, and very speedily the rick pre. rented one immense sheet of flame, which was wafted right and left by the high wind that prevailed into three other stacks, two of wheat and one of beans. The scene by this time became truly terrific. The flames next ex tended to several other stacks, to a large building up wards of 100 feet long, by 50 wide, and filled with grain, then to a number of pea-ricks, from thence to the piggeries. Tho flames by a quarter past ten were ascending into the air several hundred feet, and large flakes of fire were wafted into the stables and cart-houses, all of which were blazing away in a manner truly awful. The inhabitants through the village were busily engaged in removing their furniture, it being feared that the entire village would fall a prey to the conflagration. Mr. Connorton of the West of England Fire Company, was called by a stranger passing over Blackfriars• bridge, and who could distinctly see the flames from that long distance. The engine was immediately got out and started—all the while following the reflection in the sky, until the firemen arrived at the scene of desolation. Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the brigade had previously arrived with an engine, and five others belonging to the neighbouring towns. The supply of water was so scanty, that two engines only could be worked and they not for any length of time, the water being obliged to be pre served lest the wind should change, for if such was to happen, nothing but the greatest care could prevent the entire destruction of the village. The progress of the fire was at the time our reporter left yesterday, some what abated, but it nevertheless was still sending forth large sheets of flame and spark a considerable distance into the air, the reflection from which could be still seen from Blackheath and Grey-nwich hills. The fire is sup posed to have been caused by a deaf and dumb man, who is in custody. HASWELL COLLIERY. RELIEF FUND MEETING. (From the Tyne Mercury of Wednesday, O c t. 9.) Last night, a meeting was held at the Lecture room, Nelson-street, to devise means for alleviating the distress of those families whom the recent awful occurrence at Haswell had left destitute. Mr. Charles Parkinson, a miner, was called to the chair, and the principal speakers were Messrs. William Mitchell, Mark Dent, T. Clough (of Haswell), Francis Smith, John Hunter, Septimus Davies, and Joseph Fawcett. Forcible appeals were made on behalf of those who had been plunged into want by this fear ful catastrophe; and the speakers contended that it was imperative. that means be taken to prevent the recurrence of such lamentable des truction. A better state of ventilation was neces sary, and they trusted that this dread visitation would urge on humane and scientific men to devise something for the preservation and safety of life in mines. It was represented that the viewers, both in Durham and Northumberland, ar-ted quite in re verse of the suggestions of scientific men, and the Davy lamp was used in mines where the rapid cur rent of air was incompatible with its safe employ ment. In nine cases out of ten, the casualties in mines were the result, not of accident, but of wil ful neglect. There were mines in the two counties where it was as easy to introduce air as into that room, in which the labourers were dying by inches from inhaling carbonic acid gas. Carbonic acid gas had slain more men than had ever perished from explosion. Other evils were adduced, and it was forcibly urged that legislative interference was necessary to carry out in the coal-pits the plans of humane and scientific men, so that the colliers might pursue their occupation in perfect sleety. Resolutions were carried to the effect that a relief fund be started for the widows and orphans of Has well colliery ; that the fund be entrusted to the ma nagement of a committee of five persons, such committee to consist of Mr. T. Horn, Market-street; Mr. John Strachan, Barras-bridge ; Mr. William Cook, Gateshead ; Mr. Robson, Pilgrim -street ; and Mr. Martin Jude; and that the Tyne Mercur►j,New castle Courant, and other Newcastle and Gateshead newspapers, and the various banks of Newcastle, South Shields, Sunderland, and Durham, be re quested to receive subscriptions on behalf of the fund, contributions to which might also be forwarded to the several residences of the committee. ADJOURNED INQUEST. HASWELL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of those who fell victims to the late explosion was resumed to-day; and after a very long and minute examination of wit nesses, the inquiry was once more adjourned to Friday next. Professors Faraday and Lyall have been sent down by the Government to assist in the inquiry. Both these scientific gentlemen have arr ange d t o go d own the Haswell pit tomorrow, to inspect the workings. IRELAND. LORD WESTMEATH'S PROSECUTION AGAINST THE PRIESTS. DUBLIN, OCT. B.—The inquiry directed by the Government has terminated in a decision against. Lord Westmeath. The particulars will be found in the fol lowing report:— " COLLINSTOWN ADJOURNED PETTY FEsSIONS, OCTo• BER 7.--The case of the Marquis of Westmeath a.iaiiist the Reverend Miehael Coghlan, the Reverend E. Carey. and several others, for riot 2nd eonspiracy. and whiet , had been adjourned from th'• 26th ultimo to this day. 'n order to take the opinions of the law officers of tle Crown en the itiformatioas sworn on that day. came he-fore the magistrates who heard the evidence on the 26th, viz., Captain Despard, Mr. Batty. the Reverend Thomas Smythe, and Mr. Evans, Previous to the sitting of the court. Captain Despard and the county in spector. (Mr. Walsh) proceeded to the chapel at Fowre_ to view the passage' to it, where the house had been erected by i'atb.it (the Marquis of Westmeath's tenant). for the retniivd of which, in a peaceable and legal manner, the people had been charged with riot and con spiracy. "On the assembling of the court, Captain Despard stated that he had a communication to make to the ma gistrates, and that it was necess iry the court should he clear, d, which wax accordingly done. " After about half an hour's deliberation by the ma gistrates, the court was opened and the public admitted. " Captain Despard (as Chairman of the Bench) ad dressed Mr. James 1). Scully (who attended as counsel for the accused parties), and stated, That the informa tions had been submitted to the Attorney-General, who had declined giving any opinion whether the magistrates ought or ought not to receive the informations, but left the matter entirely to their discretion ; and that the magistrates having taken into their consideration that it appeared in evidence before them that the way' in question had been used for a long period by the people, and assuming they had a legal right to do so, and, con sequently, to remove any obstruction to their exercise of it, and inasmuch as the magistrates were of opinion that there was no violation of the law in the mode of the re moval of the walls of Talbot's house by the people, th , magistrates declined receiving the informations ; and, as a further reason for suck decision, Capt. Despard stated that their decision would not preclude the Marquis of Westmeath (if he thought proper) to send up bills of in dictment to the grand jury at either the quarter sessions or the assivs.' " Captain De , spard further stated that he hod received a letter from the Marquis of Westmeath this day, stating that he did not intend, in any event, to have proceeded against the Rev. Michael Coghlan or the Rev. Mr. Carey. "Thus ended the absurd attempt of the Marquis of Westmeath to try a right of way' to a Catholic chapel, by the institution of a criminal proceeding." BALLINASLOE HORSE FAIR BALLINASLOE. MONDAY NIGTIT.—The horse fair came off to-day, and first-rate animals, of character, well-bred, and in good healthy condition, brought very long prices. There was a brisk demand for weight-carrying hunters. some of which, to our knowledge, went at so high a figure as 150 L Among those who purchased rather extensively, and laid out large sums of money on war ranted six-feat-wall jumpers, carrying fourteen and fif teen stone, were several English gentlemen, and a prettl considerable sprinkling of jobbers from the sister coun try. who calculate on disposing of their purchases at th. other side of the Channel, in the midland counties. Well matched carriage horses were in requisition, but the supply fully equalled the demand. One gentleman. from Roscommon. refused 300 guineas for a pair of highl3 bred chesnut four-year olds, and he subsequently sold them to an officer of the Guards for 3501. The Hon Martin Ffrench, R.M., Ballinamore, had an uncommorth pretty set of dashing dark chesnuts, well suited for ; britzka or chariot. They were very much looked after. and b -ught, as we were informed, for something eve, 1.501. Mr. Eyre, of Eyrecourt Castle. sold one of his tip-top hunters for 130/. ; and Mr. Patrick Balfe, ot Southpark, disposed of a dark bay mare at a shade ore -100/. Mr. John Birmingham's three-years old colts wert purchased by a military gentleman at 801. It appears to he the opinion of very competent judge: that the show of "crack" horses has never been exceedeP at Ballinasloe; and that this great emporium for the' sal, of cattle was never on any former occasion thronged to such an extent with animals of an exceedingly inferior description. We do not remember to have seen at ant Enzlish or Irish fair so many hundred decidedly bad. broken ?own, spavined "nags." The fair-green and streets are literally blocked up with horses, mares, foal, fillies, and colts, that Fould be more " at home" in some or the Galway fox-hound kennels. As may be supposed. very little business was transuded in this branch. Heavy draught horses were very much looked after, and met with a ready sale. Lord Clancarty, Lord Clarina, the Earl of Lucan, Joseph Lambert, Esq., George O'Malley, Esq., and some English brewers and farmers, were among the purchasers. One superb animal, 17 hands high, and powerfully limbed, brought 601. The military contractors for the cavalry stationed in Ireland laid out large sums of money on some good young chargers; and a person who was pointed out to be Louis Philippe's maitre-de-cheval, made extensive purchases. Mr. Marshall, of Limerick, submitted to public compe tion on the fair-green to-day several horses, hounds, and vehicles, the property of the late Bernard Browne, Esq., of Mount Bernard, county Galway. The colts and mares b 3, that famous sire Radical, out of a famous huntress, and Sl:nlician dam, sold well. _ POLICE ESPIONAGE. Whilst the atroties at Shinrone are still the subject of a Government inves:;zation at the Castle, and the public are astounded by the iTvelations made from day to day of the secret agencies for the manufacture of crime, we find, by the subjoined correspondence between Lord Clements and the constabulary authorities, that a system of prying and espionage, without the sanction, or even the forms of legal authority, is in actual operation throughout the country, on the pretence of making up some kind of census, different from that so recently com pleted by the Government commission : " Lough Rynn, October 1, 1844. " Lord Clements begs to be informed by what autho rity a police-constable entered his house this day, for the purpose of taking down in writing the name of the inmates. " To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mobil." " Mohill, October 1, 1844. " Mr. Kerin, sub-inspector, begs to inform Lord Cle ments, in reply to his Lordship's note of this day, that by his directions the constabulary are taking a registry of householders ' • such registry to be copied into a b oo k, to be kept for the purpose at each post in the district. Mr. Kerin begs further to inform his Lordship that he is acting by authority of the Right Hon. Inspector-Gene ral's circular, dated 11th instant, which directs, where not already done, immediate steps to be taken to have the registry completed. Mr. Kerin requests his Lord ship will be so good as to inform him if the constabu lary are now at liberty to take the registry on his pro perty. " The Right Hon. Viscount Clements." " Lough Rynn, October 2. 1844. " Lord Clements will be much obliged to Mr. Kerin to send him a copy of the circular to which he refers. " To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mohill."

"Lord Clements is not satisfied that the police have any authOrity or any lawful right to enter any man's house, and put inquisitorial queqions to its inmates ; and it is his desire that the police will confine themselves to their lawful duties as constables. and will not attempt to enter any house without a sufficient warrant for so doing. " To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mohill." " Lough Rynn, Oct. 2, 1844. " Sir,—A policeman entered my house yesterday, for the purpose of taking down in writing the names of the inmates.

MAT?YLEBONE. Wednesday, after the disposal of the night charges, a tall, athletic Frenchman entered the outer office, and, having accosted Jones, the usher, to whom he stated that he wished to make an application of much importance, he was introduced to the sitting Magis trate, Mr. Rawlinson, who inquired the nature of his business. Applicant (who carried in his hand a great number of papers, soxe of which were printed)—l have to take the liberty, Sir, of requesting that you, as a Ma gistrate, will use v:nur best endeavours to get one of my papers presented her Most Gracious Majesty Queen 'Victoria, in order 'hat it may be brought un der the notice of King L0u!.. 4 Philippe, now in this country and a guest at Windsor Castle. It will be remembered that, aboOt a fortnight ago, the applicant attended at one of the Cit . ' ''. police-courts, for the purpose of obtaining a warrant - fu:' the deten tion of the King immediately upon his settikce foot in England, and it need scarcely be added, thlt the wished-for warrant was not granted. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the applicant)—What do you think I can do for you ? Applicant—l think you can assist me, your Worship. Mr. RAWLINSON—I can't do anything of the sort ; if you wish to forward anything to her Majesty you should do so, I apprehend, through one of the Lords in Waiting. Applicant—l thank you, Sir. Will you be good enough to accept of this (handing in a printed paper), and do what you can for me ? Mr. RAWLINSON-111 look over it at my leisure. The Frenchman, who seemed highly elated at the Magistrate condescending to peruse his appeal to her Majesty in his behalf, bowed respectfully, and then quitted the Court. The paper, which he placed in the hands of the Magistrate, contained a voluminous statement, printed in English and French, in which the writer sets forth certain pecuniary claims on his Majesty the King of the French, for services rendered by him (the appli cant), in maintaining and supporting a large number of the most active partisans of the revolution of July, 1830. The applicant, in very energetic language, mixed with no slight share of bombast, entreats her Ma jesty to use her influence with her royal guest to in duce him to recognise his claim. The document is signed " Buchoz Hilton," and is dated-41, Prince's-street, Leicester-square, October 1, 1 844. From the whole tone and tenour of this docu ment we should not be surprised to learn that Mr. Buchoz Hilton's affairs were placed in the hands of the police. Our reporter recognised the applicant as the same person who, between nine and ten years ago, was brought before the then sitting Magistrates, Messrs. Shutt and Hoskins, charged with having caused a mob to assemble in the vicinity of the residence of the French Ambassador, Manchester square. Upon that occasion the applicant, who was then a vendor of blacking, was mounted upon a donkey, caparisoned in a most grotesque manner, and had a quantity of blacking for sale, which, according to bills put forth by him, was manufactured from the bones and blood of the satellites of the hypocrite King Louis Philippe, who had been killed fighting against the Republicans of Lyons. Ile Was then discharged by the Magis trate, upon his promising not to cause an obstruction in the streets again. QUEEN-SQUARE. Wednesday Mr. BOND gave judgment in the case of Charles Lowing, of Hatton, near Hounslow, who was charged at this court, about a week ago, with hawk in, hay without a license. ! The question was one of considerable importance to shopkeepers in the corn and hay trade, who were said to have sustained great injury by the practice of hawking hay about the streets. The case was clearly proved by Skinner, an officer of Stamps and Taxes, who had seen the defendant offer the hay for sale to several persons at Chelsea, but as Mr, Bond expressed some doubt as to whether it was an offence within the meaning of the Act, he took time to give the matter consideration. On the case being called on, Mr. Childe, of the firm of Wire and Childe, who represented the body of corn-chandlers and hay sales men, said that they were determined to prosecute all persons offending against the statute, and was about to make some further observations, when Vv Mr. BOND said, that as this was the first case of the sort that had come under his notice, he had adjourned it in order to make himself better acquainted with the law on the subject. He was now perfectly satisfied that it was an offence within the meaning of the Act, and he must therefore convict the defendant in the penalty of 101., or in default commit him for three months. A gentleman here stepped forward and made some observations in favour of the defendant, in the course of which he said he had erred from ignorance of the la w, and expressed his opinion that the fine was very heavy. Mr. BOND observed that he had no power to miti gate it; there was an appeal to the quarter sessions, and the Court had the power under this Act of Par liament of stating the facts for the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. Childe said, thatgreat pains had been taken by the body he represented to caution persons against the commission of this offence. He had not the slightest objection to try the matter, if the defendant or his friends were dissatisfied with the decision and wished to appeal. The gentleman who had spoken in defendant's be half expressed his willingness to appeal at his own cost, if the expenses were not very heavy ; but, on being informed what they might be if the ease were taken into the Court of Queen's Bench, he abandoned the idea. After some further conversation, in which Mr. Childe repeated that it was the intention of the trade to prosecute the hawkers, The defendant was removed in custody; but in less than half an hour the fine was paid. Mr. Burrell made a similar decision under this Act of Parliament about three months ago. WORSHIP-STREET. Wednesday a remarkably pretty young woman, about 19 years of age, named Ellen _Elliott, and stated to be a sempstress, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, charged with attempting to destroy herself.
