SETTLING wITH A CREDITOR.—On Saturday, about two o'clock, while 31. Scheel', who lived in a country-house at Louvecienes, near Bongival, on the road to St. Germain, was walking in his grounds, he was accosted by a person to whom he had formerly lent 25,000 francs, demanding another loan.

" Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a piece of bread." ~_ i • t r,_ ,j -~:_. !H : , ; =~'4- - ' FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The present position of Sir Robert Peel towards his party suggests many similitudes ; but scarcely will it suggest such another as that of this morning's Herald. With reference to Mr. Duncombe's apostrophe of the other night in the House of Commons, the Herald says :—" A saucy, off-hand sort of style may do very well among the ladies, or even at White Con duit House ; but they would tell Mr. Duncombe at the Zoological Gardens, You had better not touch the lion with that parasol."' The Prime Minister then is the lion, and the House must be understood to form the rest of the collection. This is scarcely more compli mentary, on the whole, than Mr. Duncombe's original si mile. Unaccustomed as we are to deal in zoological s-i miles—if we must needs compare Sir Robert Peel to the lion, we should have compared his majority to the man who had got his head in the lion's mouth. " Doth he wag his tail ?"—demands the wretch, whose brain-piece is thus compromised—" then the Lord have mercy upon me !" Sir Robert Peel wags his tongue, and the House trembles. The" Government organ affirms, however, that all parties have been damaged by the inconsistent votes on the sugar question. We are content to take its aver ment—as it is certainly true of more than one party. And we want to know what that Government is, whose inscrutable course works damage to all parties. At an early period of this administration Lord Stanley (if we rightly recollect) applied to its head the,spirited lines addressed to the Protector Cromwell : " Still as you rise, the State exalted too, Finds no disturbance while 'tis ruled by you_ liuled like the world's great scene, when, without noise, The rising sun night's vulgar lights destroys." We are now told, however, and to a large extent the statement is true, that parties, instead of being raised, are lowered, by the Parliamentary tactics of this Minis try. To produce this result, there must be faults on both sides—there must be something faulty in the morale of Parliament—bUt there must also be something very wrong, or very defective in its present management. Sir . Robert Peel is entirely unwarranted in citing the precedent of Lord Althorp, and the rescission of a vote of the House of Commons upon the Malt Tax. The vote to reduce that tax occurred in a thin House, and by Surprise. Lord Althorp told the House, when it re-as sembled in larger numbers, that it involved fiaau.- cial consequences which appeared to have been overlooked. He therefore invited the reconsideration of the vote on its own merits. He did not vapour about it as a symptom of want of con& denbe, if adhered to. He did not threaten the House with: the loss of his own indispensable services. He simply told them what he was bound to tell them, as a finance Minister. And the House voted with him, be cause they believed his word, and deferred to his views, in that Character. Entirely different was the demand of Sir It Peel on the confidence of his followers. They were to rescind their vote, not because it was im portant, and seemed precipitate, but because it had been deliberate, and because it was not important. That it had been deliberate there was no question—for Sir Robert Peel chose to call it preeoncerted. It was fully anticipated, in the City, as in other places, that Mr. Miles's motion would be carried. Ministers should have been prepared for this as fully as were all other men. If there was concert, there was assuredly no secret conspiracy. Ministers had only to send Tad pole or Taper to Mincing-lane or on 'Change, to learn with accuracy—even within one or two of the numbers — the coming vote. The "great fact" of the division was counted upon at Liverp oo l ere it t oo k p l ace in-London. Are we to suppose that Ministers were wrapt from all mortal ken in their Ida of Downing -street—hidden from all men—all men hidden from them —at this critical moment ? Short of this supernatural seclusion, they must have well known what was coming. If they did not, are they not nice men to manage a popular Legis lature ? 'Are they not nice leaders of a party—and intimately in that party's confidence ? If they did know what was coming, are they not fine guardians of the honour of Parliament in m a ki ng no provision against such a vote—giving no note of their inten tions (Sir Robert Peel sat biting his thumb during the debate, and no one asked, "Do you bite your, thumb , at me, Sir ?")—but s il en tly reserv i ng them selves to demand that the vote, when passed, should be rescinded. We don't believe such a piece of contempt was ever hazarded on any assembly—that is to say sup posing the vote of last Friday week was anticipated. Supposing it was not—we can only repeat, Nice leaders ! —nice confidential party ! On that supposition, Sir Robert ,resembled something more cornuted than our friend the lion, and was nearly the only man in London unknowingof the "great fact" - which most concerned him. STANDARD—The House of Lords was last night occupied for a very considerable time comparing the rival Bills of Lords Brougham and Cottenham on the subject of imprisonment for debt, and examining the pretensions of each measure, both of which were in the end ordered to be cast into the crucible of a Select Committee, in order to amalgamate them into something as nearly perfect as possible. Not having seen either Bill (for the House of Lords stilt care fully guards its papers), we are in no condi tion to form any judgment upon either ; prima facie, however, we must o f course preer the measure of. Lord Brougham, who h as d one so muc h good in legislation, to the Bill of Lord Cottenham, who has done nothing, or at least nothing but mischief ! Upon the general purpose of the two measures, there can be, we would hope, but little difference of opinion ; debt is not necessarily a crime, and, therefore, ought not to be punished as a crime. On the other hand, credit is very often a crime, - and, therefore, the creditor ought not to be armed with the power of adding crime to crime by imprisoning and ruining the unhappy debtor whom he may have en trapped. But if credit is often equally blameable with debt, surely the presumption ought to be in favour of the debtor ; and the onus of proving a criminality in i the debt ought, in the first instance, to be thrown upon the creditor. If there is any one who supposes that ,it matters nothing with which party you begin in sifting out the guilt of a debt, he knows very little of the work ing of the law of debtor and creditor ; for he forgets that, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the recovery of the costs, and not of the debt, is the weapon wielded by the creditor ; the thing dreaded by the unhappy debtor. This fiction of the non-existence of costs is, indeed, a deluSion much encouraged by the way in which, questions of law reform are discussed in Par liament, and, may we be pardoned for saying it, by the demeanour of judges on the bench. To read parFa mentary debates and the charges of judges at nisi prius, one would think that there is no such thing as a bill of costs in the world. The debtor, says a Noble Lord, a Mqmber of the House of Commons, may file his petition— rea apply -for, ajudge's order —may do this or do that ; ivhTeas, the debtor may do nothing of the kind un lesa he• has money in his pocket, and a good deal of money too, which we suppose is not always the, case with debtors. So in the courts of justice we bear the judges constantly telling juries that they must give some dainages, because of a .legal presumption (though every.' one in court can safely swear that no damage has, been suffered), but earnestly ex horting them not to give intemperate damages ; and this farce is carried on whilst the difference • besween temperate and intemperate damages would be 'at most 501., whereas the difference to the par ties between - any damages and none will aeiount to 5001. Well may the judge recommend tem perate damages, when he has himself saddled the hapless defendant with most intemperate costs. If law were a merely speculative science, it might be very well to reject all consideration of costs from legislation ; just as in inquiries of pure physical science, we -do net think it necessary to admit friction as an element in our calculation ; but, as the practical engineer will certainly blunder if he make no allowance for friction in his expected results, so the I...gislator who forgets costs will do evil as often as ile does good by his law reforms. The analogy is, indeed, a feeble one, for 'no moving power was ever overcome by friction to the same degree that the adniinistration,of justice is overwhelmed by cos t s . Thi s consideration will explain why we think it of vital im portance that the onus of all the necessary expense should be in the first instance thrown upon the creditor. This, of course, will lead to particular cases of hard ship, end even of injustice ; but the opposite course must lead to twenty times as many such cases. - ' COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jane 21.

This was 'an action under the Dramatic Authors' Act, to recover damages of the defendant for having played certain pieces without the permission of the author. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Chambers appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. D: Babington King for the defence. Mr. Lancaster, the plaintiff in this action, is a gentleman who has acquired considerable reputation by his talents for writing, andhis additions to the English drama. He is the author and proprietor of Oxberry's Budget, as was admitted by the Learned Counsel for the defendant. The ground of complaint against the latter is, that he has caused the plays of the plaintiff to be represented at the Standard Theatre, without allowing the plaintiff either the interest he has in those plays, or the consequences of an unfavourable impres sion on the minds of the community, arising from the want of adequate appliances. • The pieces in question were acted before and after Christmas, 1843.

Practitioners ; the whole medical body now practising under the license of the Apothecaries' Company being considered members of the proposed college, and the present list of the Corporation of Apothecaries, as well as all existing or future licentiates of ten years' standing, being constituted into a constituency with the title of fellows, and who shall be eligible for, and privileged to vote for, the Council, Court of Examiners, and governing bOdy of the college. That the college have the power of framing its own curriculum ; that the education and examination for its diploma be under the control of its .own governing body, and . that it should confer the right to practice as a general practitioner in all parts of her Majesty's dominions. That the education of the genteral practitioner should be, in every respect, sufficient for all ordinary practice, and should be in no 'degree inferior to that required by the Society of Apothecaries as at present constituted. To avoid in terfering with existing institutions, and to afford the means for those who desire to cultivate a more ex tended knowledge of any particular branch of medical science, the diplomas of the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons respectively may be required of all candi dates for army, navy, Indian, hospital, or parochial appointments. The College of' Surgeons requiring a knowledge of morbid, microscopic, and comparative anatomy, as well as greater practical skill in surgical operations. The College of Physicians conferring degrees of bachelor and doctor of medicine only, granting no licences to practise whatever, and requirs ing ample testimony that all on whom the honour of a degree is conferred are by education fitted to uphold its dignity and ensure its respect. By these means the three great subdivisions of the medical profession may be made to work harmo niously together; each gradation having its own college, with the arrangement of its curriculum, and the management of its affairs, under the control and regulation of its own governing body. To these suggestions, it may be replied that, on the passing of the Apothecaries' Act, in 1815, an application was made to the Legislature for a charter of incorporation, and refused, on the round that it was inexpedient to grant such charter : without some experience of the work ing of the new Act of Parliament, a plea which, however reasonable at the time, is now clearly in admissible after nearly thirty years' experience, and with a retrospect so highly creditable to the parties to whom the administration of the Apothe caries' Act was deputed. Surely a refusal under such circumstances should in no degree intimidate or dismay the Society of Apothecaries at the pre sent moment. What was then a matter of doubt, namely, the effect of their administration of the rules and regulations for c onducting the education of the apothecary on the acquirements of the future practitioner, is now a matter of triumphant con gratulation. The rank, talents, and professional re putation, with the hold they have on society, fully entitle the present body of general practitioners to this mark of consideration. I have been in duced to address these observations to the Court of Assistants of the Society of Apothecaries, be cause I consider both the public and the profession as deeply indebted to them for the great benefits con ferred on the former, and for the honourable position into which they have elevated the latter, and still mate from an 'anxious desire to identify more com pletely the interests of the Society and it s li cen ti ates. have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your very obedient servant, JAMES BIRD. 16, Orchard-street, June 11, 1844. INCENDIARISM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—lncendiarism exists in the county of Suffolk to an alarming extent. This we learn from the local papers; and from Mr. Gibson, the Earl of Stradbroke, and other gentlemen residing in that county. Being a Suffolk' man, I have been very anxious to learn the cause of this horrid practice of burning food to make it cheap. All I can learn is, that no satisfactory cause can be given. Low wages, I know, many per sons think is the cause ; and, if I mistake not, it has been stated that wages are lower in the immediate neighbourhood where the fires have occurred than they are in other parts of the county. This statement is entirely without foundation; and I will add, that wages in Suffblk are not lower than they are in other counties. In some parts' of the county I hope a good feeling exists between the labourer and his master; but I doubt this good feeling does not extend far. We may sometimes look back to see what is before us. There can be no question that for some months a war has been going on between the manufacturing and agriculturing interest. Now, what is the general feeling of the landowners and tenant-farmers in Suf folk towards the manufacturers ? Why, they say we will prove to you that we cannot spare a protective duty upon corn, and that we can barely keep our labourers from starving with the protection we now have; and they go on to argue that we only follow your exam ple by turning our men upon the roads when we have no profitable work for them; and this we show you to prove that our situation is not a very enviable one, and indeed that we have nothing to spare. The men, with few exceptions, who labour upon the soil in Suf folk are an honest, patient, hard-working people, but let us not forg e t t h at t h ese people have connections working at various trades, and some of them living they cannot tell how. If discontent is stirred up amongst the agricul tural labourers depend upon it that it extends much further. Master and man do not pull in the same boat as I should wish to see them. The high bearing of the masters to the men is not palatable to them, and no kindly feeling exists. In my opinion this incen diarism may be traced to three causes, viz.—the want of a better understanding between master and man, increase of population, and the harshness of some of the clauses in the new Poor-law Bill.—l am, Sir, &c.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 22. THE BARON DE BODE 1/.ITIE QUEEN 'ON • A PETITION OF RIGHT. • . The examination of witnesses in support of the Baron de Bode's claim was resumed this morning. The case of the claimant was not concluded when th 6 Court adjourned. BA IL . COURT, Jeine-.22. KENDAL V. CLAIiKS. Mr. COCKBURN conducted the case on the part of the plaintiff, whom he described as a Solicitor, and the de fendant as the proprietor of one •of the Pimlico o:nnibuses. The action was brought to recover com pensation in damages for the injury which the plaintiff had sustained in consequence of thelegligent driving of the defendant's servant: The facts. of the case, as he should be enabled to prove by theplaintiff's witnesses, Were these :—About eleven o'clock on the morning of Friday, the 10th of November, the, plaintiff was driving his gig along Piccadilly; and coining in a direction to wards the City ; when he came nearly - opposite to Park trine he met two omnibuses racing against each other, and both of them proceeding at a' most furious rate ; they were rival omnibuses, one of , lhem belonging to the defendant, and the other ,to a person named Glov.er. At this. ,tine th e . .pl a i nt iff' s g i g was behind a cart, ani te defendant l a,.:oninibue was en deavouring to overtake that belonging to Glover ; but having been hailed •to f..eke up a passenger, at the cor- 1 narof Park-lane, the dekridant's driver suddenly crossed the road f,r that. purme, and in so doing drove the forewheel of his ouniihnsagainst th e w h ee l o f t h e plain tiff's gig, with such fisree v as to upseiVie gig. The plain tiff was thrown out vviih.. considerto violence, and the consequence of his fall was a severe - dislocation of his ankle. He was im nediately co:iveyed to the house of Mr. Goring, a surgeon, in.the neighbourhood, who did what he considered necessary to plaintiff's ankle. Plain tiff *as afterwards taken home ta.his chambers, where he was confined to a cOeeli for six weeks, and for the two following months remaia'd under the care of a surgeon, unable to walk, and suffering very great pain. In con sequence of his compie e inability -attend to his busi ness, and he having at the time `several suits pending, he ,was compelled to- envie), another attorney, to act 'as his agent and 4attend to. - his busin ess f or him whose charges for that eervice amounted to 50/. He had also to employ Ail' extra clerk, at a Very considerable expense, and in addition to all this, to pay. the-amount of his surgeon's bill; which amounted to 101., and 'to recover those expenses, and also such damages as the jury might think he was ent i t l ed to for the bodily injury which he had sustained, he had brought the present action. The Learned Counsel then made sonic remarks upon the reckless conduct of omnibus drivers in general, Which he said rendered it absolutely dangerous for any person driving through the streets of Lyndon 63 nieet one of those vehicles; and afterwards called witnesses, who confirmed his statement. .Among them was a clerk of the plaintiff, who swore thel he sat up with him, twenty nights after the occur rence, and for which he charged 10s. a night. On his cross-examination he admitted that the salary the plaintiff paid him was only 125.-13, , Week, an admission which caused a roar of laughter. ' IMr. HUMPHREY, in addressing the jury for the de fehdant, said that, unfortunately, in all cases of this kind, jui-ies were invariably -prejudiced in favour of the plain till; and, in proof of it, mentioned it case in which cross aetions had been brought by two parties, one after the other. for injuries sustained by negligent driving, in each of which the jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff: After remarking upon the evidence of the plaintiff's witness, who was employed in the double 'c parity of clerk and nurse, and making a comparison between him and Mrs. Gamp, which caused continued roars of laugh tei, the Learned Coinesel remarked' upen the prejudice which the plaintiff's Counsel had endeavoured to create apinst omnibus drivers in general, by 'stating that it was dangerous to meet one of those vehicles in the streets. lie (Mr. Humphrey) feared it was much more dangerous f.oi an omnibus driver to meet an attorney.—(Laughter.) T, e Learned Counsel,. after some further humerous o o .ervations, said that the facts of the case, as he should be enabled to prove by the defendant's witnesses, were th •se :—The defendant's driver was not racing with another omnibus, as had been stated ; on the contrary, he was driving at a very steady pace. The plaintiff's gi . was behind a cart, which was laden with bars of iron, th . jingling noise of which caused plaintiff's horse to ih , and the animal suddenly sprang across the road, and th plaintiff's gig consequently came with such violence tg inst the step of the defendant's omnibus as to force it ito the side of the vehicle. The plaintiff's gig was us -et by the collision, and that was the way in which the ac ident occurred. The plaintiff made no complaint at Lb time of the conduct of the defendant's driver, but, in he following January commenced the present action, wi hout giving the defendant any notice of his intention ao o o so. The Learned Counsel, after some further ob oe ations, called Ray, the driver, Wilson, the conductor )f defendant's omnibus, and several other witnesses, v swore the occurrence was such as he had described. r. COCKBURN, on the part of the plaintiff, after the le •ndant'i witnesses had been examined, agreed to u mit to a nonsuit, and a verdict was returned is ordingly. T•I GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY V. THE EARL OF LONSDALE. in this case- Mr. Butt appeared for the plaintiff, and Mi. Sheppard for the defendant. It was an action brought by the Great Western Rail wa Company against th e P os t master - General, to m en er the sum of 48,305/. ll s . 1 0 d ., f or carrying the m le on their railway f rom J u l y , 1 841, to the time of (th present year a t w hi c h th e act i on was commenced. T e question in dispute A as th e amount o f the remunera tion to which the pl a i n tiff s were ent i t l ed for the services they had perf o r m ed. Th e matter was originally re ferred to arbitration, under the powers given by the Act of parliament, and the arbitrators appointed as their um htire Mr. Pusey, MP. for Berkshire. The arbitrators a 0 several meetings afterwards, but could not agree upyn their award, and they left the whole question to be decided by Mr. Pusey, who made his award,' directing thei defendant to pay to the plaintiffs a certain suln per day for, carrying the mails, and also one year's intrest' on the amount which t h e p l a i ntiffs claimed, an. which amounted altogether to the sum which the plaptiffs now claimed. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN inquired if there was any fact in dispute between the parties? Mr. SIIEPPARD replied in the negative, and said the Go'ernment would willingly pay whatever sum was justly due to the plaintiffs, but a difficulty had ari sen i n co equence of Mr. Pusey having unfortunately made twd awards.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) • CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. A journeyman tailor, of the name of Burns, living in Greyhound -alley, appeared to answer a summons taken out against him by the relieving officers of the parish of St. Andrew-under-Shaft, to show cause why he refused to maintain his daughter in the workhouse. The case was partially gone into before Mr. Alderman Copeland at the former sitting of the Court, when it appeared that in consequence of the girl not being in a fit state to be allowed at large, the parents got her admitted to the workhouse, and were willing to pay ls. 6d. a week to wards her maintenance, but this the parish officers re fused, and insisted on the sum of ss. 6d., for which they had summoned him to pay. Alderman COPELAND expressed some surprise at the amount demanded by the parish. The relieving officer' said that 55. 6d. was the price of a pauper's maintenance per week. That was the sum the parish contracted for. Alderman COPELAND—The sum is enormous. All we pay for the support of a prisoner in Newgate is 2s. per week, yet, he would be bound, the poor in the work houses were not so well fed as those confined within the walls of that prison. He believed the boys in Christ's Hospital only cost 20/. per annum, and they were well fed and clothed. After some further observations he postponed the case till Saturday, in order that some arrangement might be come to. However, on the case being called, the parish officers still held out for ss. 6d. The father, it appeared, was wily in the receipt of 12s. 6d. per week, out of which he had to pay 48. a week rent, leaving very little to sup pert his wfe and family. He wished to keep his child virtuous, and the only way he could effect this was by keeping her in the workhouse, where, he said, she was evidently improving, and there was every appearance of her recovery. The parish officers said the father had no settlement in the parish, and it was an injustice to them that they should be burdened with a pauper who had no claims upon them. They saw no reason why she should nut be passed to Ireland, where she had a settlement. Alderman KELLY thought the idea of parting the child from her parents, for the purpose of sending her to her settlement in Ireland, was monstrous, and ought not for a moment 'co be entertained. The MAGISTRATES then consulted, and, after some deliberation, declined to make any order, or decide one way or the other. The unfortunate girl, who was pres en t d ur i ng t h e proceedings, was then taken back to the workhouse. The poor creature is a decided lunatic. Mr. Richard Shilloto, landlord of the Swan and Hooper public-house, Finsbury-pavement, was charged with harbouring prostitutes in his house on the morning of the 10th inst. The case was proved by police -sergeant Saunderson, 106, of the City police, who stated that he, hearing a n o i se i n t h e defendant's house at two o'clock in the morning above stated, listened and heard parties tossing over the counter for bottles of wine, and obscene language going on among some wo m e n . Wh en the door was opened, he saw three prostitutes of the worst descrip tion standing drinking. Mr. Shilloto said it was impossible for him to discover who were prostitutes and who were not. He was not in the bar at the time the officer entered, therefore was un conscious who the characters were. He charged the po lice with intimidation, and was unable to support the ac cusation. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 60s. and 3s. costs. The next case was against William Medby, the re puted landlord of the Three Tuns Tavern in Fetter-lane, Fleet -street, for serving spirits on Sunday morning last. The case being proved, and Mr. Inspector Fosbrook re porting the house to be indifferently conducted, the Court inflicted the penalty of 20s. and the amount of costs. Mr. Croker, of the George Inn, Aldermenbury, was summoned for permitting drinking in his house on Sunday morning last. The case was dismissed with payment of the costs. BOW-STREE T. Mr. William Kemmis, the Crown Solicitor for Ireland, was brought before Mr. Twyford, the sitting Magistrate, in the custody of an officer of the A division of police, charged under the 9th George IV., ch. 55, sec. 56, with having stolen a letter from the Castle of Dublin, ad dressed by Mr. Robert Johnson; of Kinlouth , late as sistant-barrister of the county of Mayo, to the Right Hon. John Littleton, now Lord Hatherton, in the month of October, 1834. The defendant was not placed in the dock, but was'allowed to take his seat at the table ap propriated to solicitors. The particulars of this extra ordinary case were as follows : In the year 1834 Mr. Robert Johnson filled the situa tion of assistant barrister for the county of Mayo, having as his depnty Mr. George O'Malley Irwin. On the 7th of October of that year, a letter, purporting to be signed by Mr. Irwin, was received at the Castle ofDublin, inti mating that Mr. Johnson had resigned his situation, to which an answer was returned by Mr. Littleton, accept ing the resignation, and at the same time expressing regret on the part of the Government that such a deter mination had been come to by Mr. Johnson, who imme diately wrote to the Lord Lieutenant, expressing his thanks to his Exci llency for the kind expressions con tained in his letter. Mr. Irwin subsequently applied for the vacant situation, and his applic a ti on was b acked by testimonials from he Marquis of Clanricarde and others, but it was not successful. In the following year two indictments were preferred against Mr. Irwin, in the Court. of Queen's Bench, Dublin, charging him with having forged the resignation of Mr. Johnson, for the purpose of clandestinely obtaining his situation, on which occasion Mr. Irwin demanded that the letters of Mr. Littleton and Mr. Johnson should be produced to prove the mark. Johnson had himself admitted having resigned the situation, but those l e tt ers were not forthcoming, as M r . Kemmis declared that he knew nothing about theirs, and the only letter produced on the trial was the letter of Mr. Irwin containing the resignation of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Irwin then ap plied for leave to communicate with Mr. Johnson on the subject, and the answer received from him was that he had told Mr. Irwin that, as the Government intended to remove him, he should submit to their decision, but that it was utterly untrue that he was satisfied with Mr. Irwin having sent in the resignation, of which ha was totally ignorant until he received a communication to that, effect from the Irish Government. Mr.. Irwin was consequently convicted, but afterwards obtained a testi monial from Chief Justice Pennefather to the elfict that his cause had been lost in consequence of the non-pro duction of the two letters in question. Mr. Irwin now produced copies of those letters, which he said he had obtained from Mr. Armstrong, who was at the time se cretary to Mr. Kemmis, the originals of which he charged Mr. Kemmis with having stolen, in order to prevent their being produced on the trial. In answer to the charge, Mr. Kemmis said that in the year 1835, he, being Solicitor to the Crown in Ireland, was directed to prosecute Mr. Irwin on the charge of forging the name of Mr. Johnson to a resignation of his office as assistant barrister, and he was convicted upon two indictmente. Mr. Irwin here declared that the jury who tried him was a packed one, and that seven out of the twelve were taletnen instead of special jurymen. Mr. Kemmis said that the letters which were produced on the trial were given to him by Lord Hatherton. Upon those letters Mr. Johnson was examined upon oath, and he proved, to the satisfaction of the jury, that he gave no directions for his resignation to be sent in. Mr. Irwin here said that Mr. Johnson, was not exa mined at all. Mr. Kemmis said he was, and it was proved to de menstration that a forgery had been committed. Mr. TWYFORD asked the complainant how he could, under the circumstances, venture to charge Mr. Kemmis with the offence he had done ?—Mr. Irwin, in reply, said, because he was able to give the statements of Mr. Kemmis the flattest contradiction, and he could bring Lord Hatherton forward to prove that Mr. Johnson's letter, containing an acknowledgment of his resignation, and the acceptance of it by Government, was in the Castle of Dublin, with the post-mark upon it, from whence it had been abstracted by Mr. Kemmis, lie had subpoenaed his Lordjhip to attend the trial at Dublin, but , A hi eh he failed to do. After a very long discussion Mr. TWYFORD said that if it could be shown that there was any foundation for the charge against - Mr. Kemmis he would detain him. Mr. Kemmis said the complainant evidently laboured under some delusion on the subject, fi,r he had already summoned , the Marquis of Normanby on a similar charge. Mr. TWYFORD said he was very sorry Mr. Kemmis had been put to so much inconvenience, and as there were no just grounds for the accusation against him he should forthwith dismiss the complaint. Mr. Irwin then applied for summonses against Lord Hatherton and Mr. Armstrong to prove that the letters in question were, at the time he alleged, in the Castle of Dublin. The application was, however, refused, and the parties left the Court, the complainant vehemently dew claring that justice had not been done him. MA RLB O.R 0 GII-S TREE T. Harvie Farquhar, Esq., of the banking firm of Farqu har and Co., St. James's-street, summoned before Mr. Hardwick a pawnbroker living in Gilbert-street, named Dobree, to show cause why lie detained several saddles and bridles, and other artie!e;, his property, which had been stolen and unlawfully pawned. It appeared that- the property in question had been pawned at different times by Mr. Farquhar's groom, who had absconded as soon as his delinquencies came to light. The duplicates patersisroenlaetri,svebtoox,thaendmaissssinogmepro.fiptehre tywer 4 pawn brokers when applied to refused to give up the property, a summons was taken out in order to ascertain whether, under the provisions of the new Police Act, the Magis trate could not enforce the resti,ration of the articles to the lawful owner. Mr. Humphries attended on the part of the defendant. In the course of the inquiry it came out in evidence that Mr. Earquhar had not used all the diligence in his power to procure the apprehension of the prisoner after the felOny was discovered. He had suffered some time 'I n reply to Mr. CorrusanAlr, the unfortunate girl said she was a flower maker, but that being out of employ, she was reduced to great distress, and had not tasted food for the last two days, and had not slept in a bed for five nights ; that she had no relations in London, and that it was the dreadful state of destitution she was in that instigated her to commit suicide. The policeman said that since she bad recovered from her insensibility, she had expressed a determination to put her threat into execution. The MAGISTRATE directed the unfortunate girl to be pro vided with food, and said that lie should remand her until Wednesday; in the meantime inquiry should be made re specting her. EXPERIMENTS in the MARSHES WOOINICH, JUNE 21.—Colonel Paterson, Colonel Lacy, Lieutenant -Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Dun das, C. 8., Lieutenant- Colonel Chalmer, Lieutenant-Colonel Sweeting, and Captain Palliser attended at two`o'clock P.M. to-day in the marshes, to witness experiments with an in vention, submitted to the members of the Select Committee by Mr. Marsh, the celebrated chemist, connected with the Royal Arsenal, whose name has been so often before the public in connection with simple tests for detecting the pre sence of mineral poison. The invention experimented with to-day consisted of three different kinds of applications of simple substances to the common fusee used for igniting the powder contained in shells, intended to burst when fired from large pieces of ordnance. The description used on this occasion being one 68-pOunder and two 32-pounder guns. Mr. Marsh, unlike many other inventors, makes no secret of the means by which he expects to regulate the bursting of the shells when they strike the object aimed t.t, and one of the modifications of his principle was very effective, one only out of nine shells fired with meal powder caps bursting at about 150 yards from the mouth of the gun, the other eight entering the butt, and exploding immediately on passing through, tearing the massive timbers in their progress into hundreds of fragments, some of them very large pieces. The success of Mr. Marsh's discovery is entirely owing to the application of Jeffery's marine glue to attach the caps filled with meal powder to the fusee, the whole opera tion being very simple and easily understood, without the slightest risk being apprehended when moving the shells about, or loading, as was shown to be the case with shells made to explode on the percussion principle. The whole of the shells fired, with the two other mddifications of Mr. Marsh's discovery, burst, but were not so regular or cer tain in exploding at the requisite period as those used with caps filled with meal powder, as stated in the following detail : Three fusees filled with the usual composition for bursting shells were cut about two inches from the top into the form of the letter IT, of sufficient depth to come into contact with the composition, and a piece of copper inserted and secured with the marine glue, that substance, in Mr. Marsh's opinion, being most eligible for the purpose, in consequence of its tenacity and expanding principle, at the same time that it possesses the power of preventing injury by the admission of moisture or the destruction to which fusees are liable by the ravages of the white ant in tropical climates. First shell fired from 32-pounder burst at the mouth of the gun ; second, from 68-pounder, entered the butt, and exploded instantaneously, with good effect ; third, from 32-pounder, burst at 200 yards from the mouth of the gun. Three fusees, with four meal-powder caps in each, attached, and outside covered with marine glue. First shell, fired from 32-pounder, burst at 150 yards from the mouth of the gun ; second, from 68-pounder, entered the butt with instan taneous effect ; third, from 32-pounder, entered the butt with equally good effect, in proportion to the size of the shell. Three fusees, with pieces of wood in the form of letter V, With thin leaf copper betwixt, joined with marine glue. First shell,'from 32-pounder, entered butt, and exploded, in pass ing through. Second, from 68-pounder, burst 200 yards from the mouth of the gun. Third, from 32- pounder, en tered butt, and equally effective as the previous 32-pounder shell. Three fusees, with pieces of copper i n th e f orm of the let ter V, attached with marine glue. FirSt shell, from 32- pounder, burst at about 150 yards from the mouth of the gun. Second, from 68-pounder, burst about the same dis tance. Third, from 32-pounder, entered the butt with good effect. Three fusees with caps containing meal-powder. One shell from 68-pounder, and two from the 32 -pounders, all entered the butt with instantaneous effect. Three fusees, with pieces, of wood and copper leaf, one shell from 68-pounder entered the butt, and one from 32- pounder • the other 32-pound er s h e ll entered the mound, but all burst on striking the latter, at the moment it entered the ground. Three fusees with caps filled with meal powder. One shel from 68-pounder, and two from the 32-pounders, all en• tered the butt, and exploded instantaneously with powerfu effect. Three fusee 3, with pieces of wood arid copper leaf, the whole joined with marine glue, as previously describol. First shell from 32-pounder burst, at about 100 yards from the mouth of the gun. Second from 68-pounder at about 150 yards. Third from 32-pounder at about 100 yards, none of these having been carried a great distance. The range of the guns was 400 yards during the whole of the experiments. The number of shells fired was 24, eight 68-pounders and sixteen 3 2-pounders, and only one failed to enter the butt when carried the length of the range, and it was not above one foot east of the object aimed at. The river was also very clear of shipping, and the practice was carried on with only a few minutes' interruption. AJEATH THROUGH EXCESSIVE DRINKING. —On Thurday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Beehive, George-street, Bromley, Middlesex, on the body of Mrs. Sarah Wybrow, aged fifty y ears . I t appeared by the evidence that the dceased was the wife of a respectable gentleman, holding a responsible Government office, but in consequence of her habits of intemperance, he had been compelled to separate from her, since which time she has resided at No. 23, George-street, Bromley ; and when she received her monthly allowance would indulge to great excess in ardent spirits. She kept no servant, but relied upon her poorer neighbours to perform the necessary domestic offices of her house. On Friday last she drank upwards of a pint of brandy, and continued in a state of intoxication until the following night, i hen she went to bed, but before doing so she gave the key of her house to a woman named Ryley, desiring her to come in again before she went home, and get her some toast and water. About one o'clock on Sunday morning that person did so, and on going into her bed-room ler the purpose she found her lying on the bed quite dead. .11r. Smythe, a surgeon, said ho merle a post mortem exami nation of the body, and found the brain in a highly con gested state. He had known the deceased for upwards of two years, and, from her known habits inebriety, had no doubt death had been caused by apoplexy, pro. duced by a continued indulgence in ardent spirits. lie ,jury returned a verdict in accordence with the medical testimony. DREADFUL DEATH.-::Late on Wednesday evening Mr. Payne held an inquest, at Guy's hospital, on the body of Sarah Elizabeth Tharme, a married woman, aged twenty-eight. Mary Ann Easton, of No. 2, Suf folk-place, Snow's-fields, said that about eight o'clock in the evening of last Saturday three weeks deceased received a visit from a re4tive, a yotirg man n tined Copeland, the captain of a vessel trading to Stockton. He had been drinking rather freely during the after noon, and was frolicking aeoitt the room with deceased. Deceased • made some joetear remark to him, in reply to which he exclaimed, " Oh, then, get away with you, do; and at the same time. gave deceased a push, that caused her to stagger towards the fireplace. She was instantly tripped up, 'in 'consequence of one of her feet coming in contact with the rug, and as she was in the act of endeaveuring 'to save herself from falling, her left arm struck against the handle of a saucepan full of boiling water, that happened to be standing on the hob by the fire. As she came to the ground, the saucepan and its contents fell upon her, and she was scalded over the arms and neck, and even: through her 'clothes, in a most dreadful manner. A stir geon was instantly sent for, and by his advice deceased *as taken immediately to St. Bartholomele's Hospital. Mr. Ash, house-surgeon, said that the injuries deceased had received were so severe as to preclude even the possi bility of her recovery. In spite of every means that could be resorted to, she continued to sink under the acuteness of her sufferings, and the violent shock the system had received, and she died on Monday lest. The deceased was a young woman of remarkable personal attractions, and had not been married more than a few.weeks.—Ver dict, " Accidental death." to elapse before he gave information to the police, and this circumstance was made use of by Mr. Humphries for the advantage of his client. Mr. Humphries contended that had Mr. Farquhar taken immediate steps against his groom, the probability was that the man would have been in custody, and then there would have been no difficulty in securing to Mr. Farquhar the return of any property he might prove to have been stolen from him. As it was, he was of opinion that the Magistrate had no power to award the relief prayed by Mr. Farquhar, namely, that the pawnbroker should give up the property, for, as there was a charge of felony to be made out, it was necessary that the pro perty should remain in its present hands in order to be produced against the culprit when taken into custody. Mr. Farquhar complained of the hardship of having his stables phindered, and although he had clear proof the property had been illegally pawned, that he could not be put in possession of it. Mr. HARDWIC4 said the Act was defective in one im portant respect ; it gave power to a Magistrate to adju dicate in cases where property had been stolen and pawned, or where illegal possession of property was proved, this property being afterwards pawned ; but the Act made no mention of property pawned which . a party had legal possession of ; now, the delinquent groom had legal possession of the property, inasmuch as it had been entrusted to his care by his master. Mr. Humphries contended that the complainant could receive no relief under the trover clause in the Police Act. Mr. ITARDwicK said he could not understand what was meant by the term trover clause; the clause in ques tion appeared to him to be a police clause, intended to operate as a check on pawnbrokers against taking goods in pledge without due caution. Mr. Humphries said the complainant was in the situa tion of prosecutor in a case of felony, and as he, there fore, could not legally give evidence in his own case, he could not be examined in support of the information against the pawnbroker. Mr. Farquhar thought that due caution had not been used by the pawnbroker in,taking in such a number of articles from a livery servant. On the part of the pawnbroker it was declared that the grooni had been in the habit of pawning property at the same shop for f , urteen years, and that he was always I.e -, lieved to be a horse dealer in a small way. Mr. ifARDWICK said the best way waa to allow a rea sonable time for the apprehensuin of the culprit, and if the police did not succeed in finding him, then to hritg the case before him again, and he would decide in s% hat way the property wa; to be disposed of. UNION-HALL. Elizabeth Hart, a girl of 17, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by suspending herself to the iron hand-rail of Westminster Bridge. Policeman 32 L, stated that between four and five o'clock that morning, while on duty on the Surrey side of West- Minster Bridge, he went to the steps leading to the river, and saw the defendant with a strap buckled round her neck, and the other end of it made fast to the iron hand-rail, He immediately ran down the steps, and holding up the girl's body, unbuckled the strap from her neck, and finding she was in, a state of insensibility, he conveyed her to the .station-house, and some restoratives having been adminis tered, she recovered sufficiently to be enabled to be brought up to this Court. gIP BARNSLEY.—The colliers' st r ik e is nearly Bt snd end—at several of the pits work is resumed, the raa sterL et el men having come to t erms o f agre e ment; an d it is 9;:e to that the owners and m i ners o f t h e other p i ts will c . ° oll the terms in the course of this week.
