(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) ECKERSLEY V. BARKER. This was also an appeal from the decision of the re vising barrister for South Lancashire. The vote was objected to on the ground of imperfect description of the qualification, and the barrister decided against the ob jection. After hearing Mr. Cockburn for the appellant, and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake for the respondent, • The COURT took time to examine the schedules. CUMING V. TOMS. The appellant in this case having objected to the r qualification of the respondent as an elector of the borough of Totnes,l the revising barrister refused to entertain the objection, on the ground that the notice served upon the complainant was not sufficient. Mr. COCKBURN, for the appellant, stated that the no tice was sent by post, in strict accordance with the 100th section of the Act, which provides that at the time of • posting the notice a duplicate should be presented with the letter to the postmaster, who, on comparing that duplicate with the notice itself, should put the post-office stamp, with the date upon both documents, and that the production of the stamped duplicate should bo proof of the service of the notice. The revising barrister held that the evidence of the person who delivered the letter to the postmaster was necessary. That decision he (Mr. Cockburn) submitted was directly opposed to the letter and intention of the Act of Parliament Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE contended that the words of the Act required the notice to be presented to the post master by the objector himself, and that it was not com• petent to do that by a third person ; or, if so, that third person should be called to prove the service. The-CounT was of opinion that the Act had been complied with by the objector, and they reversed the decision of the barrister. Their Lordships then rose. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) (Before. Mr. egmmiwioner FONBLANQUE.) IN 118 TOLLEMACUE, LORD RUNTINGTOWER. This day liaving been appointed for the final hearing in this case, his Lordship attended in Court, accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. Lewis. - Mr. EDWIN JAMES app] ed for a futher adjournment. His Lordship was placed in the somewhat singular posi tion of an only son to a wealthy nobleman, but yet who was altogether dependent upon his mother for his pecuniary.all6wances. He hoped to be enabled, however, to pay all creditors, and at the next hearing he should be competent to say in what manner, for as to-morrow was appointed for the judgment in another court in a suit for an increased allowance entered by Lady Dysart against her husband, which suit ought and was likely to be decided in her favour, she would be enabled to spare more to her son than at present she could possibly do from her limited allowance of 3,000 L per annum. His Lordship's father, with an income of 50,0001 a year, had not expended one shilling upon his soi from the day he was sent to Eton, where of course he was obliged to live as did his equals. Upon that ground he craved a further day, before judgment would be given by his Honour. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he wonld rather rest on the justice of the father than the affection of the mother. , Mr. CHAMBERS attended for some of the creditors, but as they only wanted their money, he could have no hesi tation En acceding to Mr. James proposition, as it seen ed a very reasonable one. The case was then deferred till the 20th of January. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. GLOBE.—The Bishop of Exeter's judgment in the matter of the charges against Mr. Blunt, the curate of Helston, is a subject of too much conse quence, in various points of view, to be disposed of in a summary manner. The public will learn from it that a curate is right in refusing to bury with the Church service persons baptised by Dissenters--in re fusing to marry persons unless they can show that they have been baptised by clergymen of the Church of England—in refusing to pray —refusing to use the universal prayer of the Christian, with a pa rishioner and a fellow- Churchman, because the poor man had been baptised by a Romanist priest in Ire land? Not because we cannot be "in communion" with Rome—not because Rome is a false, or a cor rupt, or an anti-Christian Church, as vulgar low Churchmen hold—but simply because .a ußdinanist in the United Kingdom is a schismatic, according to the interpretation which the Rev. Mr. Blunt, in the ex ercise of his " private judgment," puts on the legal effect of certain transactions which occurred three cen turies ago! They will learn, too, that the more in tense the feeling of discontent excited in the minds of some Churchmen who have the misfortune to he under the care of such fanatics, by these wretched acts of bigotry—the more "utter the disturbance and inter ruption of spiritual comfort to others, pious and humble church-goers, who take no part in the theo logical contests of the day, by the endless succession of unmeaning changes in the ritual, by the monoto nous bitterness of weekly denunciations • against schism, by the violence of manner and language, the brawls, the scandalous indecencies which are certain to follow the ministrations of such aman—tbe more determined countenance and supp or t the clergy man is sure to find from his diocesan, if he have the felicity to be planted within the diocese which en joys the superintendence of Bishop Phillpotts. Our object to-day, however, was to compare what has passed at Helton with the goings on in another, diocese. The charges a g ai ns t M r . Bl unt, b roug h t b y the churchwardens and a great body of parishioners, as we htoe said, were manifold : many wilful changoi in the , service, many practices in the peeformance of clerical &isles, which the complainants knew to be utterly unworrlss 4 ; and believed to be illegs.l. They have been severdi reprimanded for daring to make such complaints at aL I . The excellent pharge •of their pro-Tractarian Preitits 4 has been the subject of...the Morning Post's leading a;ljels's of pmegric. Now, in a pari s h i n B er k sh i re, the clergyman has thought proper to introduce one change —to establish the weekly collection of the offertory. This is conduct of which, for our own parts, we disapprove, simply because we believe that for any clergyman, of his own "private judgment," to introduce innovations from the ordinary practice, on the pretext of his own interpretation of the. Rubric, is a folly,;:to call it no worse, which almost invariably leads tolled consequences; as hundreds of instances have verified. Still, of all the crotchets of Tractarian gerstlemen,.our readers will probably be of opinion that thisietine of the least ungraceful and the least offensive to any common feeling or prejudice.. Not so thinks me Walter of Bearwood, whose soul Mr. Cameron has in charge. As the former gentle man has given . all • the publicity the press can afford to his controversy with his spiritual instructors and superintendent's, we cannot be trenching improperly on personal privacy in making it matter of fair com ment ; and we promise, beforehand, to treat him with much more respect and civility than the leading correspondents of the Leading Journal treat the Bishop of London: We are acquainted, then, by Mr. Walter through the press, with the steps he thinks it right •to take when his spiritual instructor proposes something lie Les not approve. We do not undertake to say he is wrong in his " private judgment." Far from it; we think that if individual clergymen may start innovations, indi vidual parishioners may resist them ; nor do we admit, in any case, even . the collective right of the clergy to act as the Church, as if the laity were no component members of that Church. It is not for the purpose 01 censure, hut of somewhat piquant contrast (to which we shall come presently) that we notice the case in question. Mr. Walter, then, "agitates" among his fellow-parishioners. He remonstrates with his spiritual superio r a b ou t t h e c h ange he has introduced. Mr. Cameron persists. Mr. Walter procures a legal opinion --he consults Dr. Addams as to the validity of the collection at.the offertory from non-communicants. It will not be forgetten. that one of th e greatest griev ances of the ,Tractarian ctanan lawyers i n party is th e p resumpt i on of decidi m/airerestiers of priestly authority ; no matter : Mr. Opinion. And it is an opinion infinitely gets his to the astutenese the adviser's of Doctors' Commons at onc • eda, and tickling the answe r yonthiog from which it is impo3sible to gicovnnZt an eamept that the Learned Doctor has doubtasn the law, but quite agrees with Mr. Walter as to the bad taste of the thing. Fortified with this valuable document, Mr. 'Walter next complains to the Bishop. The Bishop of Oxford, whose part in recent controversies all know, and the great ma jority of the laity of the English Church deeply deplore, treats the complaint as was to be expected ; he justifies his Tractarian subordinate, and be stows on Mr. Walter a rebuke resembling that of his brother of Exeter, with this only difference, that the Bishop of Oxford, whether he praises or condemns, always writes like a gen tl eman . How does Mr. Walter behave under the rebuke of his diocesan ? Does he thank him for his paternal chastisement, like an obedient son of the Church ? He appeals from the Bishop to his fellow-parishioners, and to the " Times." He undertakes to call a meet ing, and get the opinion of a " majority "—a ma jority of laymen in a parish to decide on the pro priety of a ceremony of the Church ! and, should the said majority be with him, and Mr. Cameron persist, he intimates, by a guardedly gene ral but pretty intelligible threat, that he and his friends will act as their " bounden duty " may require. Now, here is a case :in which, not, we believe, the official representatives of a parish, but a party of parishioners, large or small, with a leading man at their head, oppose and thwart their clergy man, get a legal opinion against him, complain of him to their Bishop, threaten to call a "meeting" on hi:n, show him up in the Times—practise, in short, all the methods of parochial warfare short of going to law ; all for introducing a single change into the ritual, and that a change recommended by the Bishop of London. We were anxious, we confess, to see in what way the Times would deal with these two , cases of Mr. Blunt and Mr. Cameron, happening, unluckily, to excite public attention just at the same moment ; in what matter it might be possible at once to crush the rebellious churchwardens of Hol ston, and to support the rebellious parishioners of Hurst. Nor do we yet see how this feat of dexterity is to be performed. At present the last part of the task only has been executed. Mr. Walter is an ecclesiastical Hampden ; Mr. Cameron an impertinent meddler—not, indeed, so much for changing the ritual on his own authority, as for introducing a little bit of Tractarianism before his audience was sufficiently " saturated " with " Catholic truth" to swallow the whole. The surplus bitterness of the writer is reserved for the Bishop of London. It is no business of ours to take up the cudgels for that active prelate; neither is it our pleasure to narrow a large question to a small newspaper con troversy. But the Times carries a weight of metal to the " working " of any public question, which renders it fair to point to its columns for the most signal illustrations of the real temper of any party it espouses. We have a right to point to the columns of the Times for proofs the most pregnant of that pervading inconsistency, which we have already denounced as characterising the whole Ultra-Anglican agitation. It is nothing astonishing that any individual should resist a parochial innovation. It is nothing astonishing that the Bishop of London's zeal of half-measures should excite discontent. But what is astonishing, or rather, what would be asto nising if human nature were consistent--is that the party who contend a l'outrance for the apostolic suc cession and sanctity of Episcopacy—are the party whose organs set any given Bishop at moat blunt de fiance—the moment his powers —sacred from all pri vate judgment —are exercised against theirs. STANDARD.—Some of our Contemporaries have taken a great deal of useless trouble to account for Mr. O'Connell's last step, dos-a-dos with the Federalists, sliding back to simple repeal. Nobody, however, who has even slightly observed the course of the old Saltinbanco's capers and curvets can be at a loss for the reason of his last movement. .Yesterday was the day fixed for his benefit, and as on every former year of the last 20 he prepared for it by bringing out something very highly seasoned. Here is the heading of the an nouncement :—" The National Collection for the O'Connell Tribute for the present year 1844, is to be collected simultaneously on to-morrow (Sunday), the 17th instant, .in all the parishes of Ire land." Then follows an appeal to " the ragged man," ;and to the starving man, to the husbands of the unclad, and to the fathers of the famishing for their halfpence and their farthings ; and, honour to whom honour is due, the vile docu ment is signed by Sir John Power, Bart., and Cornelius M`Loghlin, Trustees ; and Vincent Fitzpatrick, Secretary. Does not this sufficiently account for the mendicant's abrupt " right about face," even had we not the evidenee of twenty years' experience, that his rancour and violence always sweil with the November storms, at the approach of bad weather and of privation to the poor and why at this particular s4ason ? Because, if postponed to a lat er p er i o d, hi s unhappy slaves—dupes they are no longer—would have eaten up that which he extorts to feed his own luxury and avarice. Such public enemies are not to be reasoned with, they are to be punished; because, to reason with them would imply a doubt that they are ignorant of the loathsome selfishness and utter shamelessness of their practices...a doubt which, after the experience of the last twenty years, it would be idiocy to ent er t a i n . W e have already avowed our opinion that the time has arrived when such sys tematic robbery of the poor ought to be prevented by a stringent law; but until the Legislature shall adopt some such measure of protection, let the malefactors be at least punished by the i loudest and most universal expression of public scorn. Thick-skinned as they may be—and in this respect the Irish mendicant can challenge a comparison with the rhinoceros—still the punish ment of loud and universal scorn will reach them, because it will awaken their slaves to the disgraceful condition of the thraldom to which they submit, and cause them to withhold their " halfpennies " and their " farthings." Fer arguments are necessary to persuade men generally to refuse to give money which they can ill sspare ; but the strongest of all arguments, with an uneducated people, is the assurance that all the world are laughing at their stupidity. Without giving the Irish credit for all that intel lectual superiority which they modestly arrogate, and which empty travellers like Mr. Grant and Mrs. Hall allow them, we must suppose even the most ignorant among them elevated in understanding a degree or two above " the beasts that perish, " but to this elevation they can scarcely pretend if they submit to be robbed by such gross and transparent frauds as the O'Connell tribute and the repeal rent— frauds which never would have deceived them so long if we all had not aided them, as our contempo raries now aid them, by reasoning with Mr. O'Con nell, and thus covering the nakedness of his gian scheme of swindling. DEMAND FOR HIGHER WAGES. In many of the manufacturing districts there has been a general movement among the factory opera• tives for an advance of wages. The following are the accounts from the provincial papers : As FITON. UNDER- LiNE.—For several weeks past, various meetings have been held by almost every branch of factory operatives, at which preparations have been making to adopt some steps to obtain an advance. On Wednesday evening the power-loom weavers again met in the Charlestown meeting-room, where they were addressed by R. Pilling, " General" Lee, G. Hough, and others. The following resolu tions were agreed to, viz. :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that each weaver is in duty bound to nay Id. per fortnight, f or th e purpose o f ena b l i ng the con a n ,L 4 _tee to forward delegates to the out districts, to get up an iii;jtation for the purpose of endeavouring_ to obtain an advance of wages." 2. " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that ;Lt.'s be obtained from other districts, and that deputations In sent for that purpose."—The meeting then separated. STOCKPORT.—The turn-out of spinners and self actor minders in this town, still continues to some extent, but not so generally as at the beginning of the week, the hands at several mills having accepted the price offered by th e mas t ers . The spinners in twelve mills are fully at work at the list price, six partially at work ; and there are only nine in which the spinners are all out, two of which are standing in , consequence of repairs, OLDIIAM.—On Wednesday morning last, the ope ratives at the cotton mill of Messrs. Wild, Moss Hey, Shaw, Crompton, returned to their employment, on the understanding that their wages should be ad vanced about a shilling per week ; but the dispute does not appear to be yet fully settled. On Saturday, the turn-outs at Mr. Wrigley's factory, Littlewood mill, Hey Side, returned to work at an advance of about one shilling per week. On Saturday, the hands of Messrs. Milne, Travis, and Milne, of Skaw, Crompton, struck work for the purpose of obtaining an advance of wages, and they are still out. WARRINGTON.—Messrs. Hadfield and Frost, cotton manufacturers, have advanced the wages of their work-people ten per cent. CoLuszoN or VESSELS.—The ship George, Capt. Roberts, from St. Vincent, arrived in Kingroad late on Wednesday night, d ur i ng a h eav y g a l e o f wind from S.S.E., having during the day lost two anchors and cables off the Nass Point ; having, moreover, another over the bow ready to let go. In ranging up past the quarantine ground, off Portshead, the night being very dark and dirty, the schooner Nora Creina, Orfeur, 173 tons burden, which arrived on the 10th from Smyrna, with a cargo of valonia, and lying at quarantine, was run on board of, end on, and immediately sank. All hands were providentially saved, but the vessel and cargo are a total loss. The schooner is sunk in 8 fathoms low water, and was anchored with 45 fathoms chain, in charge of a steady careful pilot, James Ray. The George is in charge of Mr. Joseph Bunn, licensed pilot, and was towed up to Cumberland Basin this morning by two steamers. She has lost top-gallant masts, and ap pears to have sustained other damage.—Bristel Gazette of hursday. .41 - S POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) BOW-STREET. A young man, named John Ogilbie, was brought up in custody of one of the City police, charged with having obtained the sum of 51. 10s. and a gold watch, with guard, &c. attached, value 381., from Mr. Fre derick Lewis Mielleville, a foreign merchant, resid ing at 23, Hanover- square, by means of threats and menaces. Mr. Hobler attended as solicitor for the prosecution. The prosecutor stated that he occupied chambers in Throgmorton-street. On the 6th of October, about eight o'clock in the evening, he was waiting in Tot tenham -court-road for an omnibus, when the prisoner came up and addressed him ; and on his telling him that he was waiting for an omnibus to Piccadilly, he replied that there were none going that way, but added there were plenty of cabs on the stand. Witness thanked him, and proceeded towards the cab stand, followed by the prisoner, who, after making so me obser vations about th e weather, stated that he was also going to Piccadilly, on which witness offered him a seat in his cab. Witness then called a cab, and ordered the driver to proceed to Piccadilly. When they got near there, the prisoner put his hand in front of witness's coat and attempted to unbutton it. Wit ness was very much alarmed, and told him that un less he desisted he would stop the vehicle. Prisoner then told him that he wanted his money, and that if he did not instantly give it him he would take him to the station-house. Witness told him he was a mon ster, and refined to comply with his demands, and threatened to give him in charge, and called out to the cab-driver to stop, upon which the prisoner put his head out of the window, and told him to go to the station-house, but witness insisted that the cab should be stopped at once, upon which the driver drew up nearly , opposite Cambridge-house, when wit ness and the prisoner got out. The prisoner repeated his threats, which so alarmed witness that he lost all presence of mind and ran away, followed by the pri soner, who called on him to stop, which he did when he got to Half-Moon-street, when the prisoner came up to him and demanded 201. of him, and in order to get rid of him, being much alarmed, witness took from his purse Si. 10s. in gold, being all the money he had about him, and gave it to the prisoner, who im mediately said, " I must have your watch also." Wit ness then gave him his watch, guard-chain, &c., and prisoner having got them, told witness to go in an opposite direction from the place where they had left the cab. Prisoner then ran off the other way, and was out of sight in a moment, and he saw no more of him until the 6th instant, when, as he was walking near the Bank of England, the prisoner came up and followed him to the Old Jewry, when he said, "How do you do, Sir ? " Witness told him he knew nothing of him, and desired him to go about his busi ness. The prisoner said, "It's all very well, I know you," and followed witness to his chambers. Wit ness—it being post night, and the clerks all very busy —was prevented from mentioning the circumstance to them, and when he left the chambers the prisoner was gone. He met the prisoner again on Friday, near the Park, and, by the advice of his brother, gave him into custody. The prisoner was identified by the prosecutor's brother, the porter at his chambers, and his son, as having been seen by th em lurking about there. In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied having seen the prosecutor until Tuesday week, when he ad dressed him, mistaking him for a person with whom he had had a difference, and while so addressing him he ran away. He denied the charge brought against him.—He was remanded. Two gentlemen were to-day placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with having been found, one at ten o'clock and the other at twelve the previous night, committing nuisances in Trafalgar-square. The policeman having proved the charge, the gen tlemen complained that there was no notice to warn hem off, and that in the dark it was impossible for strangers to be aware that they were doing wrong. One of the gentlemen stated that he had only lately come up from the country, and really was not aware that he was doing wrong. It was so dark and wet that he could not distinguish the square as a place which ought to be kept particularly clean. He did not deny having committed the act in question. He complained that sufficient warning was not given him by the constable, who came up and ordered him in a brutal manner to desist, and then at once took him off to the station-house in Gardner's-lane, where he was locked up for three hours in a cell more noisome and damp than he could have believed it possible. The stench was awful, and altogether he thought the place was such a one as was calculated to breed a pestilence, and one in which a human being ought not to be placed. He was even refused the favour of walking in the court adjoining the cell, although he stated that he felt very sick ; and indeed, had it not been for a gentleman who came to bail his fellow prisoner, he must have remained in that hole all night, for his own family were residing at a distance, and he could not think of disturbing them at that hour of the night . Mr. JARDINE inquired at what hour the gentleman I had been bailed. The constable replied that both gentlemen were bailed shortly after three. Mr. JARDINE then addressed the defendants, and said there was certainly a great deal ofjustice in what was stated. No one could feel more than he (Mr. Jardine) did that it was a great hardship that no suffi cient notice was given in some way to warn gentle men of the penalty to which theysubjected themselves by committing such acts. The police were not to blame for the part they took in the affair, for they re ceived orders, and were compelled to execute them. The law subjected persons soiling any wall, &c., to a penalty of 405., and the police were empowered to take persons so offending into custody. In such a place as Trafalgar-square there ought to be some means taken by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to warn persons against offending in that lo cality, and he thought they were much to blame for not adopting such means; for in the dark nights of winter it was impossible for a stranger in London to distinguish the square, and unless they surrounded the place with policemen, to inform the public that they must not commit nuisances there, it could not be expected that they could be prevented from doing so. The law was clear enough that they had ren dered themselves liable to a penalty ; but still, under the circumstances, and considering the hardships which they must have endured, he should not feel him self justified in inflicting any penalty in either case; the gentlemen must, therefore, be discharged. WANDS WORTH. Mr. Peter Henson, a respectable looking young man, who carries on the business of a builder and house-decorator, in the Bridge-road, Battersea, sur rendered, upon his own recognisance of 501., to answer a charge of stealing a copper and other articles, the property of Mr. William Howie, a gentleman residing at Fulham. The case first came under the notice of Mr. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, on Tuesday last, and on that occasion it'was proved, in evidence, that the prisoner had dispose'd of a copper and other property which were in a house belonging to Mr. Howie, and which was some time in the occupation of Dalmas, the murderer. The prisoner, in his defence, asserted that Charlotte Dalmas, the second daughter, had sold hi m th e pro perty after her father absconded, and, that that person might be produced, the case was remanded. When the case was called on, Mr. Gilham an nounced that he was for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne, of Battersea, said he appeared for the accused. The court was densely crowded. Mr. Howie stated that, in consequence of informa tion which he received from the police, he went on Tuesday morning to the prisoner's residence, and charged him with stealing a fence, a dresser, a side board, and a co pp er , f rom a h ouse, a short distance from his (the prisoner's). He acknowledged taking the fence, which was then standing in his own garden. He said that he was wrong in so doing, and asked prosecutor's forgiveness. At that time he never men tioned Miss Dalmas's name, who was the daughter of the former occupier, and who left the fi x t ures enume rated for the rent which was due. Cross-examined—The fence alluded to formerly parted Dalmas's premises from those of the late Mrs. M'Farlane. This,fence, although removed, was still in my freehold. Mr. PAYNTER—Then I am of opinion that this re moval of the fence from one part of the freehold to another constitutes nothing more than a trespass. Mr. Howie, in reply to other questions put to him by the prisoner's solicitor, said he had appointed an agent to look after his property. He was not aware that his agent had ever entrusted the prisoner with keys of empty houses belonging to him, nor was he aware when the fixtures were taken away from the house. Police -constable Daly, 137 V, said he knew the prisoner. That in accompanying Mr. Howie to the prisoner's house, the latter asked forgiveness of that gentleman for taking the fence, and said he would make him any remuneration he wished. The prisoner at that time never alluded to Miss Dalmas. He had had no communication with that female since her father was taken into custody, a few months since. The prisoner was given into custody for stealing some building materials, but the case was not proceeded with. William M'Farlane, a youth about 18, stated that last October twelvemonth he was residing with his mother, who is since dead, in the adjoining house to that occupied by Dalmas, and after Mrs. Dalmas had given up possession, he went over the house out of curiosity, and saw the copper there quite safe; next morning, between eight and nine o'clock, on looking over the fence into the wash-house, he saw that the copper was gone. He mentioned the circumstance to his mother and the Misses Dalmas, and they also missed it. Robert Brown, a general dealer, in Milman's-row, Chelsea, pr o v e d th a t a b out e i g h t mont h s s i nce h e purchased a copper o f th e pr i soner a b out t h e s i ze o f the one alluded to, for which he gave him 7s. It was then lying in the prisoner's own kitchen. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1844. Charlotte Dalmas was next called as a witness ; she had been previously sitting with her two other sisters in a secluded part of the court, and when she came forward to give evidence she excited some curiosity. She stated that on leaving her father's house, after he had absconded from Battersea, which he did in consequence of his debts, she left in it a copper, a sideboard, and a dresser, all of which belonged to her father, but being in arrears for rent they were left to satisfy it. Witness sold a washing-stool, a clothes-horse, some knives, &c., to the prisoner, but not the articles previously alluded , to. She had offered him th e copper f or sa l e, b ut the 1 sum he tendered was so little she refused to take it. Mr. PAYNTEE observed that he thought this a clear case of felony, but as it was necessary to have the evidence of Mrs. Lee, the agent of the prosecutor, to prove that the prisoner was not authorised to enter the house, he should remand the case until Wednesday next. He consented to take bail in 401. for the ap pearance of the prisoner on that day. In the course of the examination of Charlotte Dalmas, a question was put to her as to whether she knew where her father was when he absconded. Before the witness could answer, Caroline Dalmas rose up, and throwing her arms about, exclaimed, " So help me God ! my sisters knew not where my father was, and if I never move off this ground, I was the only person entrusted by my father with that knowledge." EXTENSIVE FIRE. On Saturday morning one of the most extensive and destructive fires with which the west-end of the town has for some years past been visited broke out on the premises of Messrs. Horne, Thompson, and Holland, coach and carriage manufacturers, No. 254, Oxford-street. The premises in question are situated on the south side of Oxford -street, between North Audley-street and Park-street, and are very exten sive and capacious, extending backwards into North row, which runs from Park -lane into Queen-street pa rallel with Oxford-street, and on the south side of North-row. Nos. 25 and 26 were a continuation off the premises, which were used as the factory and work shops, and extended nearly to the backs of the houses in Green-street, Grosvenor-square. The fire was first discovered about four o'clock by a groom who was sleeping in the apartments of Mr. Gooch, the foreman at the factory, to which they are attached, who, accidentally awaking, was surprised at seeing a bright light shining in at the window, and on get ting up to ascertain the cause, found that the factory was on fire. The flames appeared to him to be at that time raging in the southern end of the factory, nearest to Green-street, and were rapidly extending themselves along the carpenters' benches on both sides of the workshop on the first floor. He immediately alarmed Mr. Gooch, who rang the large factory bell, which speedily alarmed the whole neighbourhood, and aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers, who instantly began hurrying to the spot, while the police were busily engaged in dispatching messengers for the engines and in assisting in the re moval and protection of whatever property could be saved from the burning premises. Twenty-two carriages, valued at between 6,0001. and 7,0001., were, by extraordinary exertions, rescued from the flames, which had by that time spread themselves nearly over the whole of the spacious building. The heat and smoke was so intense, that all endeavours to save any thing farther was considered both dangerous and fruit less. The engines which reached the scene of confla gration were those of the Baker-street station of the brigade, and two belonging to the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, and the brigade engine from the station in King-street, Regent-street, which was accompanied by Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the western district, all of which were immediately got into ope ration. Shortly before five o'clock the roofs began falling in, and the flames being acted on by the strong south-westerly wind, which blew at the time, were carried over the top of the blank wall in Brown's-place to the houses on the opposite side, se veral of which immediately took fire, and there ap peared at that moment every probability that the whole of the immediate neighbourhood would fall a prey to the destructive element. The firemen, how ever, redoubled their efforts, and the flames were by six o'clock sufficiently subdued to allay all fears of extending further, although some of the engines were continued in operation during the whole of the day in cooling the ruins. The whole of the factory is destroyed, with nearly all its valuable contents, amongst which were a num ber of magnificent carriages, the property of noble men and gentlemen, with large quantities of valuable materials and tools of every description, the value of which cannot be at present ascertained. Messrs. Horne, Thompson, and Holland, anticipate their loss will amount to between 20,0001. and 30,0001., a por tion of which only is, we regret to say, covered by an insurance in the Royal Exchange Fire Office. The premises are the property of Thomas Williams, Esq., of Cowley-grove, near Uxbridge, by whom they are also insured, in the same office. The premises belong ing to the firm on the north side of the North-row are also extensively scorched and damaged by the fire, but not to any great extent. In Brown's-place, the houses Nos. 1,2, 3,4, and 5, the whole of which, with the exception of No. 5, in the occupation of Mr. J. Palmer, were let out in lodgings, are greatly damaged by fire and water, and the furniture by removal. The houses at the rear in Green -street have also sustained some damage, more particularly No. 9, in the occupation of Miss Ashton Smith, and No. 13, occupied by Mr. W. Willan, through which the hose of the engines were carried. Nothing has yet been correctly ascertained as to the origin of the fire, which is, however, believed to have been purely accidental. BRITISH SEAMANSHIP in a STORM BOULOGNE, Nov. 13.—We have had here for the last four or five days a succession of tempests almost without example for their duration and their fury. Happily there have been no wrecks in our immediate neighbour hood, but I heard this morning that many fishing vessels have been driven ashore, with a mela nc h o ly l ose of lives, below Etabl es , not far from the scene of the loss of the Reliance and the Conqueror, a year or two ago. At Boulogne the sea has been frightful, and has nearly destroyed the whole of the solid sea wall at the back of the Etablissement erected in 1840. It is not, however, with the purpose of communicating events un happily occurring too generally and too frequently to excite much interest, and which, occurring out of our own island, have less than the common claim to atten tion ; it is not with this purpose that I write, but in order to lay before the public in your columns the solution of a problem of great importance, as I think, in the ad vancement of the science of navigation—particularly of steam navigation. At noon yesterday, "when the tempest was at the highest (the sea wall at the Etablissement had just fallen), I was on the Pont, taking leave of some friends about to depart in the diligence for Calais, when I was startled by a rush of some hundreds of persons, chiefly sailors and fishermen, in the direction of the sea. This was the more remarkable, as the rain was descending in torrents at the time, and I concluded that some hapless vessel had struck. Emerging from the shelter of the Messagerie, I ran with the crowd, and soon ascertained that the object attracting it was not a vessel ashore, but a vessel in sight—an occasion of almost equal horror. Indeed, both were regarded as involving the same cer tainty of destruction. Such was the intense interest excited by the announcement that, notwithstanding the sheets of rain descending, more than 1,500 persons had in the course of a few minutes—l might say a few seconds—assembled on the Eastern Jetty, and the scene which they witnessed was assuredly one to justify their excitement. The approach to Boulogne harbour, as you know, lies between two long jetties about 60 yards apart, and extending between dangerous_ sand-b an k s , some 60 0 or TOO yards i n th e sea. These jetties run pretty nearly north and south, and that nearest to the Calais side is called the East Jetty ; the other the West Jetty. The West Jetty is somewhat the longer, and has a lighthouse at the seaward end of it. As the wind yesterday blew south and by west (the worst wind in the Channel, as all sailors know), the Western Jetty was exposed to the whole rage of the sea —such a sea as fe w h ave ever seen, and was, for the most part, hidden by the waves that rolled over it. It served, however, as a protection to the East Jetty. Within a few momnts after " a v esse l i n s i g h t " was announced by the rating of a flag, the Eastern Jetty was, as I have said, covered with, at the very least, 1,500 persons. The vessel that bad an attraction so powerful appeared to be just outside of the dangerous bar, not more than 100 yards front the end of the Western Jetty. She was struggling hard, but struggling gallantly, against the tide, the tempest, and the current of an awful sea, to gain an offing to the westward before making the attempt to enter the harbour. Though so near, the vessel could not be distinguished with any approach to certainty through the thick rain. However, the opinion of the crowd decided at once upon the vessel and the com mander. "No other vessel but the Princess Maude, no other captain but Captain Monger, would dare to face Boulogne Bay to-day." The conjecture was cor rect ; it was the Princess Maude and the gallant com mander named. Whatever opinion, however, had been formed of either ship or captain, the most painful feelings of apprehension were excited by her situa tion for some time. It was long doubted whether the great steam power of the vessel could win the offing necessary to give her a free sweep in between the light house and the bar. " She will do it"—" It is impossible," ran from mouth to mouth in anxious whispers ; the pre• vailing feeling was however, desponding. At length the first great point was gained—the noble little vessel won her way considerably westward of the lighthouse. Next came a severer trial, to round into the harbour without overshooting it, from the combined force of the storm, tide, and sea ; for to overshoot the harbour would be to go directly ashore. Having secured his offing, Captain Monger brought his vessel about ; and, to the amaze ment of the timid and unskilful, spread a broad extent of canvas, under the tremendous gale, bearing down upon the mouth of the harbour with a rapidity perfectly ter rific. As the vessel passed the lighthouse, almost every heart sunk under the impression that nothing could check or divert her direct progress to the sands. A stifled moan was heard through the crowd, when, as if by magic, the sails dropped instantly, the vessel changed her course full 90 degrees, and then shot up the harbour at the rate of at least 15 miles an hour. The enthusiasm of the spectators found expression in a loud cheer, which was again and again repeated. The most striking circum stance in the whole of this magnificent scene, was the total absence of everything that could be called accident, either favourable or unfavourable. All was obviously the necessary result of means coolly and accurately cal culated, and applied with the characteristic skill and courage of a British seaman. Captain Monger knew what his vessel could do, and he did not scruple to risk the proof. Some naval officers of high rank and of great experience, who witnessed the scene, do not scruple to acknowledge that they for a time anticipated a very dif ferent result, and to confess, that no vessel of the old construction, whether sailing vessel or steam vessel, could have accomplished what the Princess Maude accom plished yesterday. No sailing vessel or old-fashioned steam-vessel could have gained her offing against such difficulties, as no vessel less sharp than the new iron steamer could have been made to obey the helm with such miraculous promptitude. This seemed to solve the problem as to the best quality of steam-vessels, at least of the smaller size. The sharp iron steamers are ma nifestly the best. In the hands of such a man as Cap tain Monger a sharp iron steamer is, in the very worst weather,.perfectly safe—far safer than a London wherry is in the best weather. —Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary.

WILLIAMS'S, AND CAP TURE OF ONE or THE BURGLARS. —Some alarm was occasioned during the latter part of last week amongst the inhabitants of Clerkenwell, in consequence of the premises of Mr. Williams, soap-manufacturer, of Compton-street, having been burglariously entered a second time. About nine years since several daring housebreakers obtained a forcible entry into Mr. Wil liams's premises, and were encountered by Mr. Shep pard, his clerk, who slept in the counting-house, and who was inhumanly murdered by the villains. Every endeavour at the time wag resorted to to trace the re treat of the murderers without success, and they have eluded the vigilance of the police up to th e p resent time. From the p er i o d o f the commission of th e d ee d no per son has slept in the counting-house, but g reater means for securin g th e property deposited in it were adopted by Mr.Williains, who s e residence is apart from his place of business. On Wednesday morning, however, it was dis covered by one of the workmen that the counting-house had been again burglariously entered, and that the clerk's desk had been rifl e d o f i ts contents. Informesion was immediately forw ar d e d t o t h e police, aru. T espector Barton and Sergeant Arch er , o f th e G divi.,,sion, minutely examined the premises, and ages r t a i ned that the burglars had broken - open the desks and removed the keys deposited in them, and had cut out one of the panels of the wainscoting, behind which was an iron safe containing from 2,000/. to 3,0001, The lock of the safe they ineffectually attempted to force open ; and, at length, left the premises, taking with them two coats and other trifling articles. Barton and Archer, after most praiseworthy exertions, have succeedel in tracing out and apprehending one of the burglars, named James Stirling, at No. 1, Providence-place, Bishopsgate. They found at his lodgings a pair of boots covered with soap ash and of peculiar shape, corresponding with the foot marks in Mr. Williams's yard. There were evidently three burglars concerned in the robbery, but the oth'ls I have hitherto escaped detection, CADVERIISENENT,]-,-THE DREADNOUGHT HOS PITAL SHIP AND ST.

THE INQUEST ON SERGEANT ANDRE WS. The inquest was resumed on Saturday, when Mr. to question s f rom M r. Mi lls, he Herbert Norman East, surgeon, was ca ll ed i n and the previ ous d ay, stated that he seaxiadmtihnaetd. he In ha d r , ep o l n y had been in attendance on th e d eceased from within a few minutes of the time of the violence upon him self until his death. Mr. Mills—You have, since the meeting of the inquest, made a post mo rtem examination ?—Y e s, I have, in conjunction with Mr. Headland and another gentleman. _ _ - Have you found, from that exam i na ti on , w h at vessel it was that the bleeding proceeded from ?—Not exactly from what vessel, but it was from the left lung. I Did the bleeding proceed in any way from the wound in the throat ?—Not at all. There was no ' bleeding from any vessel in or n ear t h e wound. ' Where did the bleeding, then, proceed from ? ' From the left lung, and there might have been a small quantity from the right one : The left lung, upon examination, was dense, as it were, with blood. It was in this state almost throughout; indeed all of it, except the lower part. The air cells, too, were com pletely filled with blood. Was there evidence, from the appearance of the lungs, that there had been a prior existing disease ? Disease had no doubt been going on for some time in the lungs, but more particularly in the left lung. The witness then entered into a detailed descrip tion of the internal appearances of the body, from which appearances he said there could be no doubt but that death had been caused, not by any effusion of blood from the wound, but from an effusion from some vessels of the left lung. Mr. Wakley—What, then, do you now say caused the death of the deceased ?—I should say death was caused by the large pouring out of blood from the left lung, which produced suffocation. Mr. Wakley then said, from the evidence which they had now heard, it appeared perfectly clear that , death had ensued from suffocation produced by natu ral causes; and the jury returned the following ver dict :—" That the death of the deceased was caused by haemorrhage from natural causes, which produced a flow of blood into the lungs."
