spy ftrr of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ' FROM THE MORNLIG PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The recent decision, or, rather, indecision of the Cabinet, is as inexplicable as it is unfortunate. No one pre tends to say that things can remain as they are. Sooner or later a suspension of the duties on imported grain must take place. For this every man: who has attended to the state of Ireland and Scotland is prepared; and so evident is this, that most people are astonished at the procrastination which' Ministers have interposed between popular expectation and an inevitable necessity. The reasons advanced to defend their inactivity neither explain nor justify it. It remains in explicable and inexcusable. Surely within the last fortnight no means of inquiry into the state of the harvest have been witheld from them. They know by this time that there is a deficiency of good corn in England, a dearth of potatoes in Ireland, a scarcity impending over Scotland. No further in quiry can add to their present information. No further delay can change the aspect of affairs, or diminish the final necessity for exertion. And yet they stand with their hands folded, inert and expectant, bidding men take heart, because as yet there is no famine in the land! The consequences of such a policy are as dangerous as its selection is unaccountably , foolhardy. Whatever is likely to be the extent of the priva tion which a scarcity of food may impose upon indivi duals during the ensuing year, whatever its duration maybe, whether for one month or two months, or more, it is the duty of a Minister to seek every method for abbreviating its length and mitigating its rigours. The Minister who, fore knowing the approach of such a calamity, forbears to pro vi,le against it, or masks his indecision under the guise of deliberation, is virtually adding to the intensity of the evil which is about to burst upon the country. If there were a probability of our being always able to purchase food from abroad at the same rate as we have lately procured it, a delay - of a few weeks would be of little consequence; it would not signify whether we laid in our stock in November or in January, provided the quantity imported kept pace with our own deficiency at home. But there exists no suck probabi lity in the present case. Already some of the continental Governments are taking precautions which evince a dread of the same scarcity that threatens ourselves; and it was only the other day that we quoted the sentiments of no inconsi derable portion among our French neighbours—sentiments which, if followed up in practice, would effectually preclude any relief being extended to us by the only country in Europe now capable of affording it with ease. If such be the case now, what will it be in a few weeks, not to say months, hence? What may be our facilities for buying after the next Cabinet Council? The paternal Governments of the Northern States are no less anxious than the constitu tional Ministries of France and Belgium to secure to their subjects a cheap supply of food. Nor is it unlikely that all the European Governments, absolute and constitutional, will unite to prevent what they will call the ill-timed and unna tural rapacity of British gold and British hunger from raising their markets and starving their people. It is all very well to say that where there is a demand there will also be a supply; that if money is offered in exchange for corn, corn will be given for money ; that the same laws govern the market of food and every other market; and that it is only fair that he who bids the most should buy the most. But foreign Governments are on great emergencies very well disposed to contravene the ordinary laws of commercial in tercourse, and by no means indisposed to check the influence of British gold. The foreign dealer may be anxious to sup ply our demands ; but if his negotiations are thwarted by .his Government, he will find it no easy matter to profit by our offers, and he will also find the arm of the Ex ecutive supported by the popular voice. It is easy, at all times and in all countries, to raise a clamour against the dealers in the staple article of food. It is only within a few years that our statute-book has been purged of certain pro ' visions conceived in a spirit of the most narrow-minded, but once the most widely-extended, jealousy against this class of men s but this feeling still exists, and is capable of being fanned into a flame amongst an ignorant populace, and in seasons of unusual dearth. How great a facility would be given to such attempts when 'directed against the relief of F.nglish wants, or the operations of English money, will easily suggest itself to all who are aware of the envy with which the greatness of this country is regarded abroad, and of the cordial wishes often expressed for its humiliation. Nor could a more desirable opportunity ever present itself to the malignity of professed foes or jealous friends than that of England seeking for her people in the granaries of Europe the , food which she had for so many years obstinately rejected, and-being herself in turn sent away empty. But to such a strait we may be driven by the tardiness of a Minister who is too wary not to know that something must be done, but 'too timid to set about doing it at once. CHRONICLE.—We have not entered into the personal controversies which have been raging for some weeks between the Times and what it calls the Stag Journals. But we must say of both it and its competitors, that we have perused what has been written without observing the slightest suggestion of any practical amendment in the law, or in the Parlia mentary method of dealing with the railway question. From the Government it is vain to look for anything appropriate or seasonable. The Peel system here, as elsewhere, is to be " too late." The Board of Trade was a failure, not so much from its own blunders, as from the coldness of its supporters. Lord Dalhousie had the misfortune of being connected with colleagues who, on a brisk attack, threw each other overboard. Bat what does the Times suggest for the future ? It mag nifies existing evils no doubt ; but we look in vain for a single idea which will illuminate Sir George Clerk, or alleviate the labours of Mr. Esteourt. There is much good denunciation of stags and staggery, but not a particle of suggested amendment—nothing that can elucidate or dispense with standing orders—nothing that can shorten or simplify the labours of committees—not an idea on which Lord Granville Somerset can found a crotchet, or on which Mr. Green can introduce a ray of light into the commission chaos of the railway system. Nor are the Stag Journals, as they are called, a whit more communicative They burn, no doubt, with a strong desire to allay what they call panic, and to disprove the depreciatory sentiments which are run ning about the town on our modern railway legislation ; but from neither one nor the other is there thesmallest twinkling of light amid darkness visible, or the least approximation to a conjecture how the Parliamentary system can be made to work under existing circumstances. The truth is, the sub ject is one on which declamation is most easy, but improve ments quite the contrary. It is easy to declaim against standing orders—against counsel, attorneys, engineers, and committees. It is still easier to take the tone of the Minis terial press, and to imitate the carelessness of Olympian Jove on so immaterial a point of policy. What, call a Cabinet to arbitrate on railways ! Is the Duke of Wellington amenable to gradients? or the Lord Marquis of Tamboff to Mr. Hu iscn ? What signifies the labour of pri vate Members, if her Majesty's Ministers can have their ease in Downing-street? But this language is not that of com mon sense, and so everybody feels. By right or wrong, the railway system is now a fait accompli, and of the most sur passing magnitude. All of a sudden every city, every market town, and almost every village is for the means of simulta neous locomotion. It is not a light matter, for it involves some hundreds of millions. We are not philosophers enough to make distinctions; but in our simple apprehension, if we spend all our surplus money one way, there must arise a scarcity in others. We cannot eat our cake and have our cake. We cannot spend a hundred millions on any single object one year, without a sort of scarcity the next. Nor will it be so easy to prevent a deluge of new Bills, notwithstand ing the existing discount, as many persons suppose. There is much, no doubt, derivable from the close of the Stag season. It recreates the rural eye to see a newspaper at last without long lists of names and nothing else. We congratulate ourselves on having ar rived at a close of the system of Parliamentary pluralities; but, in spite of this, the deposits have been paid in many cases where there was no reason either for the scheme or for the premium ; and we may depend upon it the attorney and engineer, and perhaps a quorum of the executive, will take good care that the unfortunate shareholders see no return of their loFt moneys without a further diminution. They must prepare themselves for the usual consumption of lively turtle and sparkling champagne; for vigorous exertions, till the season of white bait and green peas—for tribute to divers agents, divers witnesses, divers engineers—for still larger and more useless contributions on account of the attendance or non-attendance of learned lawyers—and last, not least, for an enormous and unnecessary and profligate expenditure in contesting to the utmost in both Houses of Parliament for points that a little common sense might settle. The deposits, we affirm, in a great many cases, are already paid ; and whereso ever deposits are forthcoming, who ever heard of any uncon sumed ? The sacred duty of expenditure must be fulfilled. The solicitor owes it to his family to save the point of ho nour, and to have the preamble proved. The engineer cannot meet his rival in the provinces without carrying the new Rail way "Act" in his writing-case. The committee are nervous about returning without a Bill ; accordingly they take their chance of getting one in Westminster, in the certain confi dence, at any rate, of having a sufficient one in Covent- garden. The panic, therefore, comes too late for bubbles without end. There is. the Peel family of " direct lines." There are junc tions without number, and without necessity. For our own parts, we are getting so immersed in prejudice, that we almost call upon the House of Commons to throw out every Bill which contains the names of Members of their honourable House without adequate local justifica tion,' or where any of the illustrious band of pluralists and absentees, who shall be nameless, figure .in their firmament. The truth is, money enough for this single head-of expenditure was voted or authorised last year. If Sir R. Peel would have the courage to take the remanets, and nothing else, in 18-16, with a few Bills for Ireland, the over gambling would soon be discontinued, and the railway system would resume good order. But if Parliament, in the anarchy of accident, proceed next spring, as it did last year, in pass ing railroads without reference to the amount of expenditure required, do not let us wonder if the gale becomes a hurricane, and the effects become as disastrous as those of 1g25. The country will be involved in another voluntary evil, not from providences or misfortune, or foreign war, but, as in the case of the sliding-scale, from the financial insagacify of the Government. HERALD.—It is an old observation, and an observation too faithfully verified by experience, that mankind are by far more sensible to even trifling injuries than to the greatest benefits. War is, however, no trifling injury tol a nation ; on the other hand, even where its results are fortu nate, it is a greater calamity than any other with which a people ran be vi,itsd—except a war which proves unsuc cessful ; either way war generally is the most terrible of national afflictions. In proportion as war is an evil, peace must be a blessing ; but loud as would be the voice of just complaint against an unnecessary war, how little do we hear of the gratitude due for the enjoyment of uninterrupted and solid peace. Four years of such peace Europe has enjoyed, contrary to expectation, and almost beyond hope ; and we proceed to show, by the testimony of a witness above excep tion, that at present the prospect of long-continued peace is daily - growing more and more certain. Five years ago M. Thiers, in France, and Lord Palmerston, in Englaxid, appeared to have taxed their ingenuity to provide a cause of quarrel between the two great nations upon whose good understanding the peace of the world absolutely depends. The firebrand Ministers were dismissed by the wisdom of the King in one country, and by the wisdom of the Parliament in the other; but neither did the ilLeffects of their incendiary practices in office, nor their own efforts to augment the flame that they had kindled, terminate with their official existence. M. 'l'hiers laboured aa-idously, and, for a time, too successfully, to keep alive the tvai-Enylish feeling by his labour, in the Chamber and in the r re3B ; and Lord Palmerston, no less industriously, toiled in his own sphere as Member of Parliament and newspaper writ-r, to excite among his countrymen a jealousy of France. If, though aided by the volunteer insolence of the Times, his Lordship failed, it was because he had to deal with a people more thoughtful and more experienced in the exercise of political judgment than our too mercurial, thoue•li high-spirited, neighbours at the other side of the Manche. Even the sterlinggood sense of Englishmen, never theless, would , scarcely have proved sufficient for the preservation of peace (for England was but one of two parties), were it not that, happily for mankind, the Govern ment of each country was placed in the hands of men as desirous of peace, because they knew the real interests of their respective nations, as their incompetent predecessors had evidently been desirous of war. M. Guizot in the one country, and Sir Robert Peel in the other, present a concur rence of wise and able and resolute statesmen, determined to cultivate peace between two great and . proud neighbouring nations Such as is rare in history ; if, indeed, there is any example, in the case of two such nations, of a struggle to avoid war, without a compromise of national honour, like that through which the illustrious statesmen named have at length (we think we may now say it) t r i um ph an tl y passe d . Our witness is the Morning chronicle, 19 1 9135 t h e vehicle 04 as `, is believed, Lord Palmerston's incendiary artiela•. All honour, and, from mankind universally, all gratitude, are due to M. Guizot, his colleagues, and their great and good master. We would not rob their glo rious wreath of a single flower to decorate the brows of our native benefactors. The French King, M. Guizot, and his colleagues, have had tremendous difficulties against which to contend, and they have nobly conquered ; but it cannot de tract from their merit to say that our own Ministers have had their difficulties too in supporting the French guardians of peace; and that, as regards this object, Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen have not been reposing upon roses. We should fill our paper were we to attempt recapitulating all the influences employed at this side of the water to ren der the continuance of peace with France impossible. Our readers cannot have forgotten Lord Palmerston's inflammatory speeches in Parliament, or the daily invectives poured upon Lord Aberdeen, for not counteracting France, in Ota heite, in Morocco, in Spain, in Italy, in the Levant,—still less can they forget the vile libels upon the courage of Frenchmen and the modesty of Frenchwomen conveyed in the odious Tangiers and Otaheite letters in the Times. Had our Govern ment yielded in even the slightest degree to any one of the suggestions of Lord Palmerston or the Morning Chronicle, or bad it adopted, however distantly, the tone of the Times, a war had been inevitable. By seconding the French King and the French Ministry, Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aber deen have obtained four years' peace, and destroyed the anti- English feeling in France; and if this were their only minis terial achievement, it is an achievement sufficient to reflect honour upon a long public life. POST.—A Ministerial Contemporary "believes" be " may state with certainty that Sir Robert Peel has bestowed the deanery of Westminster upon Dr. Buckland, the well-known Professor of Geology." Nothing more likely. It is just such an appointment as we should have anticipated at the hands of Sir Robert Peel. His conduct in such matters revives in our mind the recollection of a vaudeville, that ran its race on the stage of the Theatre de Varietes at Paris, a few years back, in which one character was, by the author, called on to exclaim, "he will die," another, "he will not die," but the third, preserving the peace between them, whilst sati rising the then existing Administration, asserted "he will do neither one nor the other, but keep the juste milieu." We fancy Sir Robert Peel finds the Church as much a difficulty as he does even Ireland itself. There is the High Church party, and there is the Low Church party, and unwilling to compromise himself with either, Sir R. Peel resorts—as is proper to an expediency Minister—to an expedient. He pursues the juste milieu, and bestows his patronage upon one, inno • cent, as far as the world knows, of adhesion to any distinct Church principles at all. In his gift is the Deanery of Westminster. It has to be filled up ; and, terrified at the prospect of offending anybody, he leaves alone theologians, and smiles approval upon a " well-known professor of geo logy." It is recorded in Elizabethan history, that a graceful dancer once danced himself up to the Woolsack. Sir Chris topher Hatton, in short, reached the Seals, per saltum. We take it that, in our times, so long as the Cabinet holds to gether, the best speculation will the speculation geolo • gical. One successful in this line will find in a canon's stall his Primary; in a deanery—say Westminster—his Secon dary; whilst his Tertiary can be no other than a bishop's mitre, peerage, palace, and patronage. Piron in such a race would clearly have no chance— " Panne Piron, qui ne flit rien Pas memerAcademlcien." The dignity of an F.R.S. will be as available for the Episco pal bench as it seems to be for the direction of a railway. Some three hundred years ago greedy courtiers were hired by a profligate King, and their wages paid out of the plunder of the Church. But staid Ministers are wiser than wicked kings; they manage things better by far. They want to reward goo d men of science, and they reward them in ade cent fashion, although still at the expense of the Church. There is a difference, and even a distinction, but sufficient of an analogy, to suggest grave reflections ; for example, such a one as this—What has the Church to do with geology, or any other science, that she should pay for it? Assume the principle to be a good one, and then let it be fairly -worked out. Here we are suffering from the apprehension lig a famine, and all through a disease that has taken hold of our potatoes. Now, why should not Sir Robert Peel at once advertise in the public prints that he is willing to confer the mitre that shall next become vacant upon the cunning man who shall detect the cause, the preventative, awl the remedy of this awful evil ? The Fine Arts Com missioners advertise for genius—why, at the same rate, should not usefulness be advertised for by the Minister? An Emperor once offered a reward for the discovery of a new pleasure. Let Sir Robert say at once that a Deanery awaits the acceptance of the inventor of a new manure. Often has it been asserted, that he who makes two:blades of grass grow where only one grew before is a true benefactor to his spe cies. Caesar, we have been told, did to Italy more good, when he introduced to her soil the chestnut-tree from Sardis, than ever he did by his victories; and shall Canterbury or York be denied to the wisdom that may enable us to treble our harvests, and make our barren hill-tops blossom like the rose? Some years ago the Whigs proposed to educate the Irish people, and, to do so at the least possible cost, they were anxi ous to take for the purpose the property of the Irish Church. Now, it was a merry notion this—aye, and a clever notion— taking money out of Paul's pocket to buy a primer for Peter. The Whigs called it " appropriation," but Sir Robert— harsh Sir Robert—called it "robbery," and protested he would not do the same thing. Nor has he—consistent Sir Robert. He has only paid for geological investigations out of the revenues of Westminster Abbey. If " Dr. Buckland, the well-known professor of geology," is to be the new Dean of Westminster, he being unknown to theological students, except as the author of a work to which theologians have raised certain objections, and with more or :less reason, we are puzzled somewhat in respect to another appointment that has been made in our sister island—made, we add, by the same sagacious Minister. Dr. Kirwan has been appointed head of the new Galway College, " in consideration," so runs the official letter to him, "of your connexion with the county of Galway as a minister of the Roman Catholic reli gion in one of its most important parishes." The Roman Catholicism of Dr. Kirwan elevates him to the presidency of an institution professedly scientific—for religion is divorced from its consideration. Dr. Buckland owes his eminence, if to anything except the Premier's personal regard, simply to his distinction as a man of science. TAB SLT,4T, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMNER 1041_1848 FURTHER EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF ILLICIT SPIRITS OF NITRE. No circumstance has for some time past created greater interest in the trading and mercantile circles than the recent seizures by a most indefatigable officer of the Customs of an immense stock of contraband spii its of nitre, the pro duce of the illicit distillery in the Globe-road, Stepney, s.me particulars of which appeared in the Morning Herald - of Mo nday last. since that time the same officer has been actively engaged in pursuing his search, with a view still further to carry out the important information be received at the time of his capture of the distillery, and, if possible, to recover the whole of the immense stock of spirits that had been removed. As was alluded to in a former notice of these organised and illegal transactions, the goods were deposited at a carrier's wharf in the City-road, and from thence delivered to their destination. From orders given at this place, it was ascer tained that a large stock of the same description of spirits had lately been sent by the canal boats to Birmingham, the order for their dispatch being given by Bailey himself. The officers lost no time in communicating this &et to the officers of Excise in Birmingham, with the most ample information as to the peculiar marks by which the illegal article might be immediately identi fied. The Birmingham officers, acting on the information they had received, proceeded to the premises of Philip Harris, a chemist, and it appeared so accurate was the in struction of their informant that they found no difficulty whatever in at once discovering the object of their search, and pronounced the stock of spirits as being part and parcel of the goods manufactured at the illicit distillery in the Globe-road, and, as above stated, sent down by the carriers to Birmingham. The quantity seized on this occasion amounts to between 1,500 and 1,600 lbs., the duty upon which, if legally charged, would be 2s. 2d. per lb. It was understood that the purchase had been made at a much lower sum than it could possibly have been manufactured for had the transactions been legal and regular. The Birmingham officers of Excise took possession of the spirits, and transmitted information to the chief officers of the Board of Excise in London, of the seizure. It will be for her Majesty's Commissioners to determine whether it shall be brought to London ' - but it is generally believed that it will be condemned, and disposed of in Birmingham. Several of the respectable chemists in town and country have lately refused to purchase the article, as from the price it was offered at, they were perfectly satisfied that it could not have been legally manufactured at any such sum, or ob tained by fair and honourable means. In consequence of the refusal of several owners of wharfs on the banks of the river, to give information to the officers as to the reception of the illegal articles, and almost a resistance to allow a search of their premises, proceedings have already been taken against them for penalties to the amount of the bonds given by them. To show the extent of the traffic that has been carried on, it will only be necessary to state that the illicit trade has been carried on for a period of ten months, and the average produce of spirits from the distillery amounted to 400 gallons per week, and.each gallon was liable to a duty of 7s. 10d. No less than 300 tons of coals, it has been ascertained, we re consumed in their trade in the space of three months. It appears that considerable expense has been incurred by the officer, and no pains spared in tracing this article during a period of four months, wbick great public service, there is little doubt, will be amply rewarded.—Hentkl.

PROCTER.—We regret to record the decease of the Rev. Joseph Procter, D.D., Master of St. Catherine's Hall, in this University, which sad event took place at a quarter past six o'clock. on Mon day evening, at the Lodge. Dr. Procter graduated. in the year 1788, when he was third Wrangler and second Smith's Prizeutan. He was shortly afterwards elected to a fellow ship, and in the year 1799 succeeded Dr. Lowther Yates in the Mastership of his College. Dr. Procter was ex officio a Canon of the Cathedral Church of Norwich, Id, A. 1786, 8.0. 1799, D.D. (by royal mandate) ISol.—Cambridge Advertiser. Mr. Buck, M.P. for Devon, we are glad to say, is recovering from the effects of an accident the Hon. Atetrinr met with while walking a few days since. Owing to the state of the roads his foot slipped into a wheel rut, and it was found on examination that the bone was fractured just above the mei% MURDER AND MUTINY ON THE HIGH SEAS., Franklin Tucker, Julian Cordoviallo (an Italian), William Burton, David Johnson, William Beresford, William Dunn, Thomas Gair, John Allison, Thomas Lee, Andrew Nelson, Barry Yelverton (said to be grandson to the celebrated Lord Avonmore), Stephen Cone, Richard French, Peter Curtis, James Blaedon (a German), and Robert Thompson, 16 of the crew . of the Tory, belonging to Mr. Duncan Gibb, of Liver pool, were brought to the Thames Police-office, and placed, some in the dock and others in front of it, charged with murder and piracy on board the above- named ship, on the high seas, within the jurisdictien of the Admiralty of England. The case, from the various rumours which got afloat, ex cited a feeling of intense curiosity. The Court was crowded at an early hour, and the terrible details contained in the various statements were listened to with deep interest. Mr. Clarkson with Mr. Hawley, clerk to Messrs. Crowder and Maynard, conducted the prosecution. From the length of the inquiry, which lasted from one until half-past five o'clock, we are necessarily compelled to condense the details, but shall endeavour to preserve the substance. The prisoner Gair, the right side of whose face appeared to be dreadfully injured, and who had his head bound up, was accommodated with a chair; and several others of the pri soners, who looked miserable, were more or less wounded in various parts of their bodies. . _ _ _ Mr. Clarkson said that, besides the heavy charge of con spiring to seize the ship and kill the captain, he feared it would be his painful duty to charge some of the prisoners with the murder of a man named Mars ; but he would for the present confine himself to the charge of piracy. George Johnstone, the master of the Tory, who gave his evidence in a very confused manner, which Mr. Clarksson attributed to the state of excitement in which he had been kept by the matineers during the voyage, stated that during the months of October and September the Tory, a free trader, of 608 tons burden, was on her way from Hong- Kong to England; There was no difficulty until the vessel was off Ascension Island, when the crew entered into a con spiracy, in which they were joined by William Rambert and William Mars, the first and second mates. The plot was dis covered, and Rambert, apprehending the consequences, jumped overboard on the 24th of September, which circum stance was recorded by one of the apprentices in the log. Subsequently the lad Yelverton told witness that the men intended to take his life, and that they had sharpened their knives for that pnrpose. He was also told by the prisoner French that the men intended to take his life, and that the first mate and Mars bad dragged the men out of their berths in the forecastle to come and kill him. Before the mate jumped overboard French and the carpenter found all the men aft, armed with bolts and bars, in a mutinous state, and rushing towards the cabin. All the men were there except Lee, Reason (who is since dead), and Cone. These three were in irons. They rushed forward ; with bolts and bars, and witness, with two men, namely, Johnson and Thompson, who were armed with guns and bayonets, were in the com panion. He asked the men what they came to kill him for, and challenged them to say he ever treated them with un kindness. When the first mate jumped overboard he sung out three'times, and witness put the helm down to save him, but the crew said it was of no use. The vessel and cargo -were worth 80,0001. The men afterwards went to their duty for 25 days, until they made the island of Fayal, when they again exhibited a mutinous disposition. He went ashore, where he saw the British consul; and on his return French told him that Mars, who is since dead, and who had been acting as chiefofficer, and had a private conference with the crew, and that they refused to obey him (French), who was boat swain at the time. Witness lectured the men, and sent for Mars to his cabin, who as soon as he entered seized him by the throat, and tore a piece out of his hand, the mark of which still remained. Witness seized a cutlass which was at hand, and struck him with the hilt of it, subsequently ordering him into irons. French then, in the presence of Mars, accused that person of fomenting a mutiny, which Mars admitted. After that, as well as could be collected from the very con fused statement of the captain, the crew appeared to have been quiet until reaching the Channel, when they again broke out into mutiny. At ten minutes past twelve o'clock, whilst French had the watch, a boy named Slack gave witness the alarm. lie ran on deck, and called to the carpenter for his cutlass, when he saw French and Dunn, the cook, securing Cone and Gair. Mr. Broderip—Have you reason to think that they intended to takvour life, and possess themselves of the ship? Wit ness—les, they all admitted that they intended to take it to America. Mars was killed by the men on board, and the witness was not present at his death. He had no doubt he was strangled. It was said he was strangled by Cordoviallo, Burton, and Yelverton, after he was put in irons. Witness heard some of the men say they murdered him. Gair was wounded in the face when they were off Plymouth, after a pilot had been taken on board. The crew then made another attempt to possess themselves of the ship, and rushed down to the cabin. French sung out " Mutiny ;" the light was put out, and witness received a wound, he believed from a bayonet, in the calf of the leg, and another, as if from a knife, above the jugular. One of the boys, or French, fired a pistol, which was only charged with powder, in the melee, and that inflicted the injury on Gair. Mr. Broderip—From all you say of French he seems to have assisted you. Why then is he charged? Witness—l don't understand. I thought so. He told the people in the cutter when we came to Deal that he fired the pistoL Besides, he pilfered some articles on board and told the people it was the captain did it. Mr. Broderip—Why, you say he was the first to call out mutiny? Witness—l think be and the cook were at the foundation of it all. The men from the revenue cutter were placed in guard overthe crew, and other hands were procured to navigate the vessel. Mr. Clarkson said his object was merely to give an outline of the case, as he was not as yet in a position to arrange the evidence properly. Mr. Broderip asked, whether the captain, after the state ment he bad made, intended to charge all the men with piracy P—The Captain, in a confused manner, said he would exempt Cordoviallo, who,: he believed, had been forced to join, under threats of death. Neither was there much evi dence as to Burton. Cordoviallo was then removed from the dock as regarded the charge of mutiny, but, as the captain's statement impli cated him in the death of Mars, Inspector Evans was directed to look to him. Mr Clarkson again apologised for the confusion of the captain, who confounded deaths and dates, saying that he was still .labouring from the effects of the high excitement under which he bad necessarily been labouring.. Alexander Sinclair, the carpenter, swore that, in his belief, a mutiny had been attempted, and that it was the intention of the crew to possess themselves of the ship. There was an attempt to take the vessel off Ascension Island, but he was not awate of the one off Plymouth. The captain complained of having been wounded. Witness could not charge all the prisoners with mutiny. He could only speak of Peter Curtis, who had a marlin-spike in his hand when off Ascension Island. This witness was equally confused with the captain in his manner of giving evidence. Mr. Clarkson begged for a remand, and pleaded the short ness of time for the imperfect manner in which the case had been brought before the Court. Mr. Broderip admitted that there was no time to look over the evidence, but sufficient had transpired to warrant a remand. It was pretty clear the vessel had been in a state of mutiny, and human life had been sacrificed. The cap tain had endured so much anxiety that he appeared, so to speak, not as yet to have brought himself and his senses together, and it was very hard to follow the thread of his story ; but before remanding the men they should first be heard. The prisoners Burton, Dunn, Lee, Gair, Yelverton, and Cone, made very lung statements of a most appalling nature, describing scenes of bloodshed and cruelty almost unpa ralleled. Tucker merely denied the charge, and appealed to that Power which kuovis the secrets of all hearts to vouch his in nocence. Dunn said that the statements in the log were almost all false, and every row that took place commenced with the captain, whct was in a constant state of intoxication, as two female paFgengers could prove. Lee so:i'd they had been on short allowance of water, until they fell in with the French ship. After that the captain or• dered all the larboard watch aft, after having been drinking with the mate all day. They came from their berths without waiting to put on their clothes, and found the captain with a sword, and the two mates, Rambert and Mars, with bayonets. The captain said, "You rascals, you have sharpened your knives to, take my life," and he began to cut with the sword at him (Lee), Cone, and a man named Reason, who was after • wards killed. He ordered the carpenters to put the three of them in irons, and whilst they were fettered, he came every two or three hours and cut away at them. This was on the 23d of September. On the 25th, whilst yet in irons, the cap tain got the shackles of the best bower anchors, and put them round their neck. He then sent him (Lee) and Reason, still in irons, to the main-top, and Cone to the mizen, where they were lashed down. About 4 o'clock on the morning of the 26th the captain was citting away at the chief mate, who ran aft and jumped over the larboard quarter. They shook the ship a little out in the wind, and then kept her in her course. Gair's statement was a most extraordinary one.. He said the captain sent for him when he was in irons in. the lower forecastle, and ordered him on his knees, say ing he would have his life. The captain then cut at him aboat the head and body, inflicting various wounds with the cutla ss, and then ordered Fiench to load the pistol and fire on hint, threatening if it was not done as quickly as possible he would take French's life. To save his own life French fired int his (Gair's) face several times with the pistol. After cutting at, him some time he was allowed to go up, on the carpenter cal ling out to pump the ship. He (Gair) was then called dorm], again and subjected to the same treatment, after which he.waa again put in irons almost in a state of insensibility. Yelverton, whose statement in various pasfiagee Quilled the whole Court with horror by the terrible details, went at length through the whole matter. We will give the sub stance of what he said, and the fearfully revolting circum stances which he stated, in the first per.son ;—" I deny that I ever told the captain that the men sharpened their knives. I'll tell the truth, but I can't speak as to dates. I told him Reason said to Cjne, that wilen the ship r...ached Ascension Island he would put out 'a blue shirt on the fore yard, so as that some of her Maj,estv's men would come , on board and see bow they were tr sated. The captain abused the mate (Rambert) on his retrarn from the French vessel f.'ir injuring the boat. The mate, said, By G— if I had not a' wife and family, I'd jump QV erboard.' After that the captain and the mate were drinkie g in the cabin all the afternoon, and the captain said "eiwKral times to the mate, By I'll kill you.' The cap: Lain about eight o'clock at night asked me if I was afraid of the mate, and I said no ; some of the other apprentices said, they did fear for their lives, but I told the captain to give the mate another trial, The captain then pardoned him, and giving bim a loaded pistol, told him to felav him upon the deck. The captain then asked the crew i ey knew of an intention to take his life, which they, de nied. Reason (who has since died), Cone, and Lee were then in irons.. The captain threatened if they did not tell whit'. they knew he would take their lives. I think Curtis and Burton said that Mars hauled them out of their berths to secure the captain. On that the captain had Mars put. In irons, and went down every half hour, and. cut an inch ,off of him.— (Frightful sensation.) Mr. Broderip (with great emotion)—Do yo u mean what you say ? Do you mind what you say? to a are on your oath. Yelverton—Yes, he said that was what hewot ild do to him. Mr. Broderip—But you say be did it. hat he cut an inch off of him every half hour. Yelverton—l can't be exact as to a' itch, b ut he said that he would Out him so. Mr. Broderip,lfut you did Dr' Yelverton—Yes, I stw on. piece cut off about the size of my hand. It was cut off the- ma d, h ea d, and all the hair was on it.see him ? This reply, which • was ma d e w ith great apparent sincerity and simplicity, de the whole Court; shudder. Yelverton , h e captain then took Kars to the inner cabin, ais bed-room, taking wi ith him a strand a.nd - a , which w heaver. I don't know what.was & me there, but we heard Mars Ai .g Out as if •he was choking. He brought him bi..ck agalli in the p resence of Julian and the other boys, and set ptii against the cabin door , whil. t he himself sat on the Lockerhead, and whilst there'kept kept' itcl sometimes sticking it in his .he• mil, a sometimes in his .lug the cutlass at him, . bre ast. — (Sensation.) The nex' ~ n 7 m i l ig the captain said to me and Spence, " You boys m - I ° ' all our y time writ ing, fa this i s a seriou s job .' st spena , . s aid dto French t The cal; am 6 0 and myself, ‘" Now, boys, we'll convict all these fellows as prisoners, and if you mind your eyes you'll get all clear of this. These fellows, when they are made prisoners, will not be allowed to speak for themselves any more than to say guilty,' or not guilty.' Be you my witnesses and we'll get clear of this." We said we would, and he was contriving how to get them all implicated. He then told the cook to send the crew aft, and when they came he said, " What do you want here? Mutiny ! mutiny! Fire away Mr. French," and then they snapped off the pistols. There was no charge a i gainst me in the log before the officers came on board at Deal out of the cutter. When they questioned me I told the truth, and that is the reason I am here. This statement, which excited the liveliest and at the same time the most painful interest, rivetted the attention of the whole Court so deeply that but for some shuddering exclamations, one might almost bear a feather fall. Cone said the captain accused him of intending to take his life, and gave him a blow of a cutlass on the head, of which he still bore the marks. He was then put in irons, and the captain took several spells of the cutlass at him. This was on the night of the 24th of September. He (Cone) was all day, all night, and all the next day in irons on the main hatches. He was then hoisted up to the mizentop, and two others to the maintop, when the shackles were put round their necks. In the night the chief officer Rambert came up to the mizentop all over blood, and showed where his head had been cut open in several places. He went down again, and in an hour after the captain came to the mizentop and commenced besittng and stabbing at him (Cone) with his cutlass. The marks of the wounds were still visible on his head, body, and hands. The captain told him to make his peace with his Maker as quickly as he could, for he'd take his life before twelve hours elapsed. After that he beat him again with the cutlass, and then went down. The pain and loss of blood rendered him (Cone) for some time insensible, for he did not know how long. When he recovered, about four o'clock in the morning, he saw the captain with the sabre pursuing the chief mate, who jumped over the larboard quarter into the sea. The ship lulled to a little, but no sail was taken off her. He (Cone) was subsequently unfettered; his wounds were dressed, and, for about 31 days there was quietness on board, The other prisoners reserved their defence. Sinclair, the carpenter, was then recalled, and closely questioned by Mr. Broderip, but his manner was as confused and hesitating as possible. He said he had seen the captain drunk, but could not undertake to say whether he was given to the practice. His manner was frequently excited, but witness could not say whether it was from drink or the con duct of the crew. Witness did not feel himself competent to say whether or not he thought the captain was in his right mind. Mr. Broderip—You have beard the defence set up by these men ; what do you say to it can't tell. Mr. Broderip—When did the man Reason die ?—Soon after we left the Eastern Islands. Mr. Broderip—When did you last see him alive ?—I saw him go down to the cabin, and in an hour afterwards I un derstood he was dead. The fate of this man, who is supposed to have died by poison, seems veiled in mystery, which the evidence of yes terday did not in any degree tend to clear up, nor was any statement made, except those by the prisoners, which could at all afford anything like a clear outline of the transaction. It was clear a terrible tragedy had bgen enacted ; but the Court was almost as well informed at the close as at the opening of the proceedings. The carpenter, in his further examination, said he never noticed the captain to be excited until after the vessel had passed Ascension Island. He admitted, but with some re luctance, that he saw the captain strike the man with the cutlass. He saw him strike Reason with it in several parts of the body, but could not say whether he inflicted more than one wound. There was a great deal of blood about Reason's neck. Mr. Broderip, addressing Mr. Clarkson, said he thought the Learned Gentleman would agree in thinking with him that the present was a most extraordinary case. After the long investigation whiCh it had undergohe it was still in volved in the deepest mystery, and a question was raised, whether the conduct of the captain was the consequence of excitement caused by the mutiny,or whether by habitual in toxication he had himself brought the crew into the state in which they had been ? It had been sworn (which would make prima facie in favour of the first assumption) that the excitement of the captain did not exhibit itself until after the vessel had passed Ascension Island ; but it was also evident that there.was something in the defence which de served consideration. The case certainly called for a re mand ; but Inspector Evans should take care that the captain was forthcoming. Mr. Clarkson could not deny that the circumstances elicited during the inquiry well warranted his Worship's' remarks. Mr. Broderip directed that the wounded man Gair should be particularly recommended to the attention of the surgeon. Ile also directed that the men who had complained of being wounded should be examined, and that it should likewise be seen whether the captain bad marks of the wounds which he had stated himself to have received in the calf of the leg and over the jugular. The prisoners were about to be remanded, when a woman, who sat behind the solicitor's table watching the proceedings with intense interest, and half sobbing as some of the bloodiest scenes were recounted, rose and stated that she had been a passenger on board the Tory, and was ready to confirm the statement of Yelverton. Mr. l3roderip, however, declined to hear her evidence at that stage of the proceedings. Mr. Clarkson said he was preparod for this from certain notions of parties whom he saw in the Court. He would not suppress any evidence, and he would say, on the part of the owners, that their only object was to elicit the truth, and to court the fullest investigation. The prisoners were then remanded until Wednesday nest. The Cabinet Ministers are expected to return to town in the course of a few days, when a Privy Council will be held for the purpose of considering to what day Parlia ment shall be prorogued from the 27th, to which time it now stands adjourned. His Excellency Count St. Aulaire is expected at Manchester House early in the ensuing week, from Paris. DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF COLCHICUM.— Wednesday Mr.Wakleydtl.P., held an inquest at the One Tun, Great Saffron-hill, on the body of John Martin Dogherty. aged 43, a licensed hawker. Elizabeth, the wife of deceased, said that he died on Tuesday morning week, having been at tended from the previous Saturday by Mr. Gibson, surgeon, of Holborn-bill. He was subject to rheumatic gout, and used to doctor himself and take wine of colchicum for his disease. His last and fatal illness, both he and she attributed to an overdose of that medicine administered by himself. He used to take a pennyworth of it, and on the Saturday men tioned sent for that amount to Mr. Bartlett's, of 24, Hatton garden. A girl went for the medicine, and a boy served her, giving her for a penny nearly a wine-glass full, Deceased drank half of it in water, and was directly seized with vomiting which continued till his death. Mr. Gibson, surgeon, said that when he attended deceased, on Saturday week, he found him vomiting, and was told that he had beeen ill for a fortnight previously. De ceased attributed the vomiting to the large quantity of colchicum he had recently taken. Witness tried to allay the irritation of the stomach, but could not do so, and was of opinion that death was caused by exhaustion, produced by colchicum acting on a debilitated constitution. Mr. Bartlett, general practitioner, of Hatton-garden, and his boy, who sold the medicine, were sent for. The latter, aged about fourteen, was sworn, and said that his name was George Elktngton, and that he was Mr. Bartlett's errand boy, and had been in his service since January last. He was in the habit of selling simple medicines. He did not know Latin. He knew that colchicum was a poison if taken in an overdose. The bottle was labelled " Vin. S. Colch," which meant colchicum wine, though it was spelled wrong, for the v should have been a w.—(Laughter.) Whoever wrote must have been a cockney.—( Continued laughter.) He could not tell what the ain the label meant. The reason he sold so much colchicum for a penny (he sold at least sixpenny worth) was, that the little girl who came for it asked fora little drop more, a m ndh n e es g i a a v , a e n i d t to her.— (Laughter.) Mr. Bartlett said that the boy had orders to sell only such simple things as salts, magnesia, The Coroner said it was a very dangerous practice to allow him to sell drugs at all, and considered that both Mr. Bartlett and deceased wera more to blame than the lad—the latter for prescribing for himself, and the former for permitting an ignorant boy to sell medicines at all. He hoped that the present inquiry would act as a warning to chemists and self doctors. Verdict, "Death from exhaustion, produced by colchicum taken by deceased medicinally." OXFORD, Nov. 12.—ORDINATION.—The Arch deacon of Oxford has given notice, that he will receive the testimonials and certificates from the candidates far holy orders on or before Saturday, the 22d of this month. At the same time he requests those only whose cases are of urgent and immediate importance to apply to him on the present occasion, as there must necessarily be considerable uncer tainty as to an ordination previous to Christmas. A liberated convict, named Lemaitre, had lived in Paris for some time with the widow of his brother. He treated this woman with great cruelty, and often declared that, being quite tired of life, he should some day or other put an end to his existence. Two days back he informed his mistress that the time for dying was come, and ordered her to purchase him some charcoal. She declared that life was a burden to her also, and that she should die with him. They accordingly lit the charcoal, and were found dead in their lodgings, Passage Joinville, by the neighbours, who on not see ing them appear, entered the room. A letter left by the woman gave the above particulars. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived at their residence en Carlton House-terrace, yesterday, from Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants. GERMAN JUSTICE.-1 political suite has just been terminated in the principality of Hesse-Cassel, which has been going on for several years. It is that of Professor Jordan, accused of high treason. This gentleman had been condemned in 1839, at the Court of Premiere Instance, to dismissal and two years' imprisonmerft. On the 30th ult. the Court of Appeal of Cassel acquitted him in the most ho nourable terms. DEATH OF A REMARKABLE CHARACTER.—On Wednesday an inquiry was held before W. Carter, Esq., the coroner for Surrey, at the Raven and Sun, Russell-street, Bermondsey, as to the death of a woman unknown, aged about 70, who was generally s upposed to have passed her earlier life as a sailor. The following marks were on her blue pers on.ink, aOnthend on right e a f t r m a W.lar large , a w n i c t h h o t r w , w o t h h e hearts ts s a u i I n o d r e s r a p i n porting it on each side. She had on a light-coloured gown, two dark stuff.petticoats, a red plaid worsted shawl, an old chip bonnet, low shoes, and black stockings. It appears that as police-constable Eady, 16 C, was on duty in Prospect p:ace, Bermondsey; on Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, he obs'erved the deceased sitting o n some stone steps, and she sa id .she was tired, and complained of shor tness of breath ; she lued, she said, to go to Greenwich, and she hoped a little r est would enable her to do it. The policeman went his round, bat subsequently found her in Jamaica. row, a little lower down, and she then appeared in a dying state. A stretcher was sent for, but she was dead before its arrival, and was conveyed to the Rotherhithe station-house. In the pockets of the deceased was found a small bottle, labelled " laudanum, poison." Verdict, "Natural death." The body lies at Bermondsey workhouse to be identified. SERIOUS ROBBORY.—Wednesday information was circulated throughout the metropolitan police district, that on Tuesday, Mr. Richard Wetherby Stone, of Dartford, Kent, was robbed between London -bridge and the Greenwich Railway to rminus, of four 10/.

REFUSAL TO BURY A CHILD.—A painful scene occurred on Monday last, at the Church of St. Saviour's, Norwich. The body of a child, belonging to Mr. Horth, one of the night watch, was brought up for Interment, but the Rev. Mr. Beckwith, officiating for the incumbent, refused to perform the ceremony, in consequence of the child not hav ing been fully baptised.

This case came before the Court upon an appeal motion to discharge an order of the Master of the Rolls, on the ground that his Lordship had no jurisdiction to pronounce the order he had done. The case involved points of practice of no general interest, and _ _ The. Low CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ments, postponed giving judgment. NEEDHAM V. NEEDHAM. The remainder of the . morning was occupied with the arguments on this motion, the object of which was to dis charge a writ of attachment, an habeas corpus, and several orders and decrees of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram and the Lord Chancellor. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 13. His Lordship sat at ten o'clock this day. Several motions of an unimportant nature were made. The only matter of the least interest was an application on the part of the Master of Gresham College, Oxford, for the production of certain documents which he contended he was entitled to inspect. Mr. KINDERSLEY, who appeared for the applicant, stated that the circumstances out of which this application arose were simply these :—The Master of Gresham College, Oxford, was, by the charter of James 1., and the need of grant of William of Winifred, entitled to a salary to the amount of one-fourth part of tha president ' s, and one-half of the fellows' income; and as an increase had taken place in them for the last ten years, he was desirous to see an account for that period of the commons of the College, as it was clear that he was entitled to participate in the profita that had accrued to the institution. Mr. TURNER, on the opposite side, contended that it would be injurious to the interests of the C ollege to make that expo sure of its pecuniary concerns which a compliance with the application involved. His LORDSHIP considered the applicant was entitled to see the documents in question for the period specified, and could not conceive how their production could by possibility be prejudicial to the College. He would therefore make au order to that effect. VIOE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 13. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLA.ND.) His Howoun took motions to-day. LUND V. WATTS, Mr. STUART applied sx parte for a special injunction in this case, to restrain the defendant from withdrawing from the bank of Messrs. Gurney and Co., of Norwich, two sums of money which he had received as the personal representative of the plaintiff, and which he had been ordered to pay into the bank of Messrs. Gurney, in the name of himself and his solicitor. The defendant, it appeared, had paid in the money in his own name alone, and hence the present application. . His HONOUR granted the injunction. DE TASTET V. EERIE. In this case his Honour a few days since overruled the de murrer, and an application was now made to extend the former injunction to stay trial. The COURT granted the application. GLASSE V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. This case came before the Court upon motion to dissolve an injunction granted a short time since, restraining the East India Company from paying thirty East India bonds, and also restraining a lady named Marshall from parting with them. Mr. Stuart, with whom was Mr. Wigram and Mr. Lloyd, was proceeding to open the case, when The VICE-CHANCELIAR inquired whether the East India Company would pay the amount of the bond into Court if the injunction was granted, as he thought the adoption of that course would meet the justice of the case. Mr. STUART felt no doubt the East India Company would adopt the suggestion of the Court. The Learned Counsel, after consulting with the solicitor of the East India Company, said that the Company had no objection to pay the amount of the bonds into Court, provided the bonds were handed over to them. Mr. WIGRAM, who appeared with Mr. Stuart, said he be lieved that one of the bonds had been actually sold. The East India Company were most anxious not to have these injunctions hanging over their heads, as the very fact of their doing so caused the bonds to be depressed in the market.. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, as one of the administrators of justice in the Court of Chancery, could not take notice of that. Mr. STUART stated that he had been informed that Miss Marshall had not been served with this application. The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed that under such circum stances the case had better stand over, in order that she might be served. Mr. BirrnELL, on the part of the plaintiff, stated that they should be most happy to have the hard money in Court. It was well known that the East India Company in the East was supposed to be an old lady. He had always re pudiated such a notion till the present moment, but he felt bound now to admit that in the East they had a better know ledge of the character of the East India Company than they had in this country, considering the timorous disposition she had displayed to-day.—(A laugh.) The motion was then ordered to stand over. (Before Viee-Chancellor WIGRAL) • FRANCIS V. GROVER. Mr. ROMILLY moved for an order for a new trial at law. This is a will case, which came before his Honour some time ago. It turned out that the will, after the death of the tes tator, was found with a pencil mark struck through these word , " I decree to Margaret Evans, my servant, now with me, 20/. a year during the term of her natural life." Whether there was or was not a revocation was a point of fact, which came by his Honour's order before Mr. Justice Erie and a jury at the loot assizes, at Bristol, and was de termined by the jury under the judge's directions, that the words so marked were part of the will. The de fendants to-day came before his Honour, complaining of the manner in which the point had been sent before the jury ; that they had been made defendants in a case in which they had to prove an affirmative, in which the burden of proof was thrown upon them; that the directions of the judge were prejudicial when he put it to the jury whether it had been made out that deceased intended to revoke; whereas the presumption of law being in their favour, they ought to have been plaintiffs in the case; and, further, that the Learned Judge, in laying down the law, of the case, attenuated impro perly and excessively cancellation by :pencil as an act of re vocation. _ _ _ _ His HONOUR said that twai'points had been raised by the motion. The point of law whether cancellation, and in this cese, by pencil amount to revocation in law, and misdirection of the Learned Judge. As to the latter his Honour could not agree that the Learned Judge had misled the jury. And as the point of law could come on to be argued when the cause comes before the Court for further directions, his Honour would not order a new trial, leaving the motion to stand over till the point of law, if defendants thoiight proper, be argued. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Noy. 13. (Sittings in Banco.) REGISTRATION APPEALS. The Court this day commenced the hearing of the appeals against the decisions of the Revising Barristers. There were 36 appeals on the list—of which 3 were from Gloucester (East Division), 1 from Yorkshire ( W est Riding), I from -Lichfield, 2 from Middlesex, 1 from Lincoln, 5 from Lanca shire (South Division), 5 from Cheshire (North Division ). from the borough of Chatham, 1 from Notts, 1 from the borough of Dartmouth, I from the city of Rochester, 1 from the borough of Scarborough, 2 from Lancashire (North Divi sion), 1 from New Sarum, I from Westminster, and 8 from London. The first case taken by their Lordships was that of BISHOP, APPELLANT V. HELPS, RESPONDENT, in which Mr. Sergeant Talfourd appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Sergeant Byles for the respondent. The appellant ,it appeared, had objected to the respondant being placed on the list of voters for Cheltenham, but the revising barrister was of opinion that the objection could not be entertained, as the respodent and the overseer had not received the notice of objection in due time. The notice had been posted in due time, and the delay was on the part of the postmaster through whose hands it passed. On the part of the appellant it was urged that, according to the statute, 6th Victoria, cap. 18, the pasting of the notice was evi dence of its having been served, while on the part of the respondent it was represented that it was only prima facie evidence, and if it was intended by the statute that it should be conclusive evidence, the word "conclusive" would have been used ; and in this case there was evidence before the revising barrister that the notice was not received in due time. The Court took time to consider their decision. BISHOP P. COX. In this case which, like the first, was from the East Divi sion of Gloucester, _ _ _ Mr. Sergeant BAYLIS said, that as this case depended on the same question as the previous one, it was unnecessary to argue it again, but the decision in the former case would govern this. The Court assented. ALEXANDER V. NEWMAN. The respondent in this case holds a tenement by right of which he claims a vote for the West Riding of Yorkshire. The appellant objects that this tenement is but a part of a larger estate, which has been divided amongst thirty-six persons for the purpose of multiplying a vote. By several statutes which were cited on the part of the appellant, it is enacted that if any tenement shall be split, or divided amongst several persons for the purpose of multiplying a vote, that the conveyance by which such splitting or div,ision is effected shall be null and void. It was urged that such was the case in this instance, and that the Revising Bar rister was wrong in deciding that the respondent, Newman, should be placed on the list of voters. On the part of the respondent it was represented that the Acts in question only referred to cases in which the splitting was effected by a fraudulent conveyance, i. e., one in which the tenement is given over without any actual purchase of the same by payment. In this case also their Lordships took time to consider. Their Lordships rose at half-past three o'clock. The Court will sit to-morrow in Banco at Westminster, and at Nisi Prius in London. The hearing of the appeals will be resumed on Monday next, the 17th. SHERIFFS' COURT. Nov. 13. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) =AMR V. HUMBER. This was an action to recover the sum of 201. for money leat. The plaintiff is the landlord of the Ship, Stone's-end, Bo rough, the defendant a broker in the Commercial-road. The plaintiff's brother proved that the defendant had admitted that he had borrowed the money, and expressed his regret that he could not repay it, as his partner had acted dishonestly toward him. Verdict for plaintiff. SOLOMONS V. OROOMBRIDGE. This was an action to recover the sum of 31. Is. 4d., the amount of an attorney's bill. The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. Saul Solomons, the plaintiff's brother, was called, and he deposed that he went to liorsemonger-lane and saw John Grootnbridge (the brother of the defendant), and in conse quence he went to the defendant's and took instructions for an affidavit to set aside some proceedings for irregularity. The next day he went to the Judge's Chambers, and met the defendant and another brother, William, and an affidavit was made, on which the Judge ordered the proceedings to be set aside. The defendant signed a retainer at the time. The witness admitted that the, item of 13s. for the term fee would not be allowed on taxation. Mr. Beard, a solicitor, said the charges were reasonable, except the 13s. ; 10s. would he taxed on: Mr. Glascow confirmed the giving the retainer as above deposed to. The defendant's attorney said that the original suit was against John and William Groombridge, but that the defen dant having been served instead of 'William, the whole pro ceedings were irregular, but it was necessary that the defen dant should join in an affidavit. As to the retainer he urged that the plaintiff's brother induced the defendant to sign by saying that it was a matter of no consequence, a mere matter of form, in order to enable him to go before a judge. The proceedings hadbeen set aside and the plaintiff received 13s. 4d. costs in that suit by order of the judge. The actual money out of pocket in the present bill was only Ss. There was also another remarkable feature in the case, and that was that the first item was made out for an attendance on the defendant, and the second for the first attendance of John. John Givombridpwaa called, andante that he instructed the witness Saul Solomons, and after the pronedings wen set aside he called on witness and said the judge had ordered him 13s. 4d. for costs, and that he would only charge witness 30s. more. Witness had since tendered that sum. Cross-examined by the plaintiff—Had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act in August last, and inserted plaintiff in the schedule. Defendant had nothing to do with the matter. William Groombridge deposed that Mr. G. Solomons said that the retainer was merely a matter of form, in order to go before the Judge. He did not say that it was to bind him to pay the expenses. Mr. Solomons was very vexed because witness and his brother would not employ him to take them through the Court, and said that he would make them sorry fur it. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and said it did not matter whether the defendant was interested in the original suit or not, if he had employed the plaintiff. If the retainer had been obtained by misrepresentation as to the object for which it was wanted, the plaintiff could not now use it in his favour. The jury consulted, and almost immediately gave a ver dict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. Yesterday a Mr. Home, who stated that he had been em ployed as a clerk to the Provisional Committees of two pro jected railroads, the principal managing Directors of which are gentlemen of unquestionable character, applied to the Lord Mayor to be informed whether his Lordship could render assistance in the endeavour to obtain from them the amount of wages due to him for performing the vary labo rious duties arising from the engagement he had formed with them. The amount of wages due at the present moment by one of the Provisional Committees wag 41. 165., and he was solicited to take half that sum, but he had refused the offer. " The LORD MAYOR said that he could not interfere in such a case, and that the applicant might state his case at the Court of Requests, and perhaps the authorities there would grant him a summons. The applicant said he should appeal to the Court of Re quests. _ _ GUILDHALL. James Freeman, a cab driver, was brought up on a wa►rant before Mr. Alderman Hooper, charged with misbehaviour, in refusing for half-an-hour to leave the passage of the house of Mr. Toplis, in New Bridge-street, in order to enforce pay ment of an excessive charge. Roe, the City officer, stated that the prisoner had treated two summonses with contempt before a warrant was issued. Miss Toplis deposed that on the 30th ult. she hired the cab in King William-street, Strand, to bring her to Bridge street, Blackfriars. She had three ladies with her. On set ting them down she gave defendant ls. 6d. He said that was not his fare. She immediately handed him her card, and said he might summon her for any other demand he might have. He walked into the passage, and said he must have 2s Bd., as extra passengers were carried; but he afterwards reduced his claim to 2s. 4d. She refused to pay him any inore, and he refused to leave the house. She called in the policeman, who declined interfering without instructions from his superior. She sent her servant to the station-house and a second policeman came, but he also declined interfering, except by expostulating with the defendant, which induced him to leave. It was between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, and he kept possession of the passage for half-an-hour. Mr. Alderman HOOPER presumed there were none but women in the house at the time. Miss Toplis said it was so. Policeman John Eve, 325, was called to prove that the defendant demanded first 2s. Bd. and then 2s. 4d. Mr. Alderman HOOPER asked him why he allowed the de fendant to annoy the ladies by stopping in the passage?— The policeman said he was young in office and did not know how to act in such a case. The ALDERMAN said that he should not have hesitated, with the authority of the lady, to use force to put the de fendant out. After receiving the card he had no pretext for stopping. The defendant said, that the pavement being up in Fleet street, he was obliged to make a circuit of three-quarters of a mile, and this entitled him to ls. 4d., and he claimed Is. for the extra passengers. Mr. Alderman HOOPER asked him if he objected to carry four without an extra fee when the ladies got in ?—The de fendant admitted that he did not. The ALDERMAN stated, that without objecting to carry four, he was not entitled to any extra fare. • If he had ob jected he would have lost the job, and some other driver would gladly have taken it. The defendant had demanded 4d. more than his fare by his own showing, and he had be haved very ill in stopping in the paqqoge and taking advan tage of the ladies being alone. Instead of imposing a fine on him, he should sentence him to a term of imprisonment, and he committed him to Bridewell for a fortnight. BOW-STREET. Joseph Cowers alias Taylor, described as barman of the Admiral Vernon public-house in Long-alley, was charged with being concerned in an extensive robbery of boots and shoes, some months back, in Great Russell-street, Blooms bury. In April last a burglary was committed on the business premises of Mr. Tritcher, a boot and shoemaker in Great Russell-street, from whose shop about 400 pairs were stolen, valued by him at 2001. No information of the offenders could be obtained, but about a fortnight ago a man named George Hill was taken into custody at Norwich on suspicion of receiving a portion of the stolen property. Hill at once stated of whom he had purchased the property, and the pro secutor was referred to the prisoner, who, on being taxed with the robbery, declared that he knew nothing of Hill, and had never seen him before. Hill stated the particu lars of the purchase, but, in the absence of some material witnesses, the prisoner was remanded for a week. Newman, of the E division, stated that the prisoner was the landlord of the house at which he was taken, and which was of the worst description, there being at the time be tween 50 and 100 thieves in various parts of the building, engaged in rat-killing, dog-fighting, boxing, and other such pastimes. CLERKEN WELL. John Bushell, Henry James, Henry Smith, and Frederick Morrison, paupers in St. Pancras workhouse, were charged with a burglary in that establishment, and six other paupers, mere boys, were charged with receiving the stolen property. It appeared from the evidence of a pauper, James Dawson, that the prisoners were overheard whilst planning the scheme how to break into the school-room, He did not, however, give information until the burglary bad been effected. The lout first-mentioned commenced operations by cutting two panels out of the oakum-room door; they then made an aperture through a brick wall, which enabled them to get into the school-room, where they broke open and rifled the boxes of the pauper pupils. They took their plunder back to - the oakum-room, where they divided the property among themselves and six others, and then quietly went to bed. On the following morning, the schoolmaster dis covered the robbery, and sent for the police, who found most of the articles concealed beneath their beds. _ . The MAGISTRATE asked Dawson Rby he had not given in timation of what he heard to the authorities of the work house ? Dawson replied that he would consider his life in danger by such a step. The prisoners vehemently protested that what Dawson said was untrue. They were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Harrison, George Rayner, and Elizabeth Rayner, were put to the bar charged with attempting to pick pockets. Charles Walter, baker, Hanway street, said a lady came into his master's shop, about half an hour before, to purchase some muffins. The three prisoners also entered the shop, and while the lady was about replacing her purse in her pocket, the fe►n ale prisoner, whose movements were directed and screened by her companions, made an attempt to possess herself of it. Witness's attention was first directed to the prisoners in consequence of seeing them attempt the pocket of the lady before she entered the shop to make her pur• chase. Witness, on seeing this second attempt at robbery, immediately took measures to have them lodged in the cus tody of the police. To a question from the Magistrate witness said he had often seen the male and female prisoners Rayner in the street, and had more than once noticed that they attempted to pick pockets, but he was in :such a situation as not to be able readily to give an alarm or afford assistance. He almost al • ways saw the Rayners about on the days when the Museum was open to the public. Thomas Harrison, in defence, said he was a stranger to his companions. He merely went into the muffin-shop to pur chase a couple of buns. Rayner said he went into the shop to give some refresh ment to his sister, when he was falsely charged with being a pickpocket. Mr. MALTBY remanded all the prisoners until Monday next. LAMB E TH. Caroline Cummings, Mary Cummings, Anne Renchman, Alice Langley, and William Goff, were further examined before Mr. Norton, on a charge of plundering Mr. Charles Shaw, a solicitor, residing at No. 11, Terrace, Walworth, of property, consisting of plate, jewellery, wearing apparel, &c., to the amount of over 6001. Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended with Mr. Shaw to pro secute, and Mr. Games and Mr. Pelham appeared on behalf of the prisoners. The evidence in the case was of so voluminous a nature that it occupied the chief clerk nearly five hours in reducing it to writing, and the case altogether presented the most wholesale system of plunder that perhaps was ever brought before the public. The short facts of the case were these :—Some years ago the mother of the prisoners Caroline and Mary Cummings lost her husband, and was left with a large and helpless family, and the circumstance becoming known to Mr. Shaw, the prosecutor, that gentleman became the benefactor and almost the entire support of the family. When the prisoner Mary Cummings was at a suitable age, she was taken into the house of Mr. Shaw as a servant, but owing to some misconduct was discharged at the end of two years. She was succeeded by her sister Caroline, in whom the most implicit confidence was reposed, and to whose family Mr. Shaw continued his humane assistance. Her honesty was not suspected until a few months ago, when Mrs. Shaw dis covered that a plate-chest which had been left in her care by a young lady named Calcraft, during her absence in Ireland, had been emptied of its valuable contents, and the prisoner Caroline admitted having pawned it, and implored forgive ness. Mrs. Shaw at the same time, unknown to her husband, supplied a sum of 271. to redeem the property, which was ple4ged at the shop of Mr. Turner, pawnbroker, of Crown row, Walworth-road, and, replacing it in the chest, l oc k e d and corded it. About the middle of - the last month the chest was again examined, and it was then found that it had been forced open, and its contents gone. The circumstance was mentioned to Mr. Shaw, and that gentleman, on making an examination of his own plate-chest discovered it quite empty ; and, with the exception of a few spoons and articles in daily use, every article of plate, a gold and a silver watch, rings, brooches, wearing apparel, and, in fact, a great quantity of property were gone. The missing property was traced to the shop of Mr. Turner, where the principal part of it had been pawned by the prisoner Mary Cummings, and this led to the apprehension of her and her sister Caroline. The other prisoners were also apprehended in consequence of their having been seen frequently to call at the house of Mr. Shaw and carry away things, and Langley and henchman were swore to as having pawned various articles of property belonging to Mr. Shaw. The property produced, and which had been pawned at the shop of Mr. turner, was identified by Mr. Shaw and Miss Calcraft. Some idea may be formed of the extent to which the wholesale system of plunder and pawning had been carried from the fact that from the 13th of April, 1844, to the 18th of October, 1845, no less a sum than 5281. had been obtained at the shop of Mr. Turner upon pledges above 10s., and nearly 50/. upon pledges varying from ss. to 10s. • Mr. Turners's account of the transaction was, that when the prisoner Mary Cummings first came to pledge a silver spoon she represented that the property be longed to her uncle, a Mr. Back, residing at No. 11, on the Terrace, Walworth-road (not one hundred yards off): They believed, they said, her representation, and though property of the most massive description, sometimes to the amount of 201. a day, and upwards had been pledged, and the principal part of it bore initials, arms, and crests, none of which were suited to the name of "Back," they never took the slightest trouble to inquire who really resided at No. 11 on the Ter race, nor to find out who the real owner of the property was ; nor had they even put a single address to a single duplicate produced, though the latter omission renders bin Turner liable to enormous penalties. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Parry remarked, that from the repreaeutation of the prisoner Mary Cummings, 1,111.0.1"0/111110110.111PReamolIMI.Milli, t i 01 6 ,$ when she tirii pledged tLe plate, that it bektged to " '.toon an impression had gone abroad that Mr. Shaw a duallY whig in that . degree of relationship to her and her family. r , he (Mr. Parry) begged most unequivocally to den)::„ bad Shaw was no relative whatever to the prisoners. n'tbey become their kind benefactor in distress, and the return had made was that which his Worsh saw. ted The two Cummingses; and Langley,were fully couun for trial; and the others remanded to "a future day. • SOU7'HWARK. d 4° John Johnson, a well-dressed man, between a hato years of age, was brought up before Mr. Cm''''''' tm ly) Charged with being concerned with others (not in 1 S o'"' in in stealing a cash..box containing sixty sovereigns Sk e lton , important documents, the property of Mr. William (treo' the landlord of the Fleece public-house, in George-- Bermondsey. eay shoat The complainant stated, that on the preceding niso, half-past three o'clock, a respectable-looking well-dresse", tote accompanied by a woman, entered his house, and we%ltites the parlour. They, however, had not been mini r,,„i s in• there when the man came out again, and addreeeing c o be ant, who was serving at the bar at the time, said _ 10 „; wanted to write a letter of importance, that the parl" r d t he company in it, and he therefore requested that he for the lady might be permitted to occupy the bar-parlour ~ ,; tv o f purpose. Complainant, from the apparent respect-At:sad the parties, at once acceded to the request, and the f e n . S. woman accordingly entered the room, drew their nfltitei. the table, and al bcled for pen, ink, and paper. The dr material having een placed on the table, the landlon,,art, sired his niece, a young girl of 14, to remain in the c t the ment with them while he was engaged at the bar, se„, o 's man immediately commenced writing to the vin."' t he dictation, and both appeared to be wholly absorbe d I ro n business. Soon afterwards, however, the parlour he ll o the and as the waiter was out the complainant's niece oe, bar-parlour to attend to the bell, and during her _ a , o ut 01 which was very short, both the man and woman wen",, ia tell the house, the former going fi rst and the latter imme", t oce afterwards. The complainant, surprised at the circon i 6 o ta of the strangers going away in such a hasty ma nner w' sb i o g saying a word, left the bar at which he was serving, len d r d il osert into the bar-parlour, immediately went to the table', r o d i 1 where he kept his cash-box, and, to his utter dismaY , was gone, with its contents, consisting of 60 0r62 soverysd his license, together with the magistrates's eertil lee s ,b e e ry' he other documents. Upon the discovery of the ruu,_,, t e the gave the alarm, but before he got to the street-door uv, t o man and woman were out of sight. He added 0 8 100 strange men were standing at the bar,_ and that the Pf .e and another stranger were in the parlour, and that t' b e ee ment they heard the alarm of the cashbox havingr stolen, they all left the house. The prisoner, hove." ewe r , followed, brought back, and given into custody. I , lle d die lord further said that he had no doubt the whol e tb ambit parties mentioned were acting in collusion, and W a in ' de formed part of a gang of well-dressed thieves, vi l ' e ro ir point of entering the houses of licensed victuallers, in,„e„ellie bing them under circumstances similar to those in w`'' to leg bar-parlour had been plundered of the cash-boxe° et the money and documents. In reply to Mr. COTTINGHAM, the complainant sai.fcl'lstosbe risoner entered the house soon after the man Mid but i bove described had taken their seats in the bar - 13100- an d he assumed to be a total stranger to either of abe o fer walked into the public room, and called for spirits -0° and a cheroot. • - els g " Mr. Edward Neighbour was then examined, and b e onba tthe that he lived in Heath-street, Hampstead, and sem preceding day he called to see the landlord of the flee;d had not been long in the parlour before the prison er „ — eeee lj elderly well-dressed man entered within a few minu te ' - „a th l other. They, however, did not recognise each other, e- w bee, elderly man had not been many moments in the ruult' le ct he commenced a conversation with witness on the 511110 the probability of the opening of the ports for the as of corn. While they were talking on the subje ct, a le' l d e sonar very rudely interrupted the conversation, an 0 witness expostulated with him for such behaviour , the e man said, " Don't take notice of the ill manners of l o ve fellow like him ;. he is some young fellow with InereostlV tio'!: than brains, or he would not have intruded his cO nve abo particularly on a subject that he knows nothing -lel During the disputation on the subject, the sher ie bee' by the landlord that his cash-box was stolen was e ierl,. and at the same moment the prisoner and the % g man hastened out of the room, and without wa l ', o 4 make any inquiry at the bar about the loss of the ' 11 they both quitted the house, Witness, the mem os heard of the robbery, concluded that both the pr0 ° ,,'„ 9 1 1 4 the elderly man were the associates of the two ners,',"; o o had been in the bar-parlour, and under that convieitt immediately pursued the prisoner, and stopped hi, °1 tool top of the street. When he was brought back to tu e o so' the prisoner was questioned as to who and what he l '- o st his reply was, that he was in the navy, that he had J re sei ceived a sum of money at the Admiralty, and he et„ tad the strongest indignation that he should have been '' .,, `cor of any concern with the robbery that had just bee ° o 4 mitted. He however hesitated to give his address!, s o f 0 1° that he lived at one of the squares at the west enu,b prtr,, town. and when requested to show his card he at 1 06 ; 4 0 6 „ duced one with the name "J. Johnson, Bloomsburrrsorbe' written upon it, and said that was where he lived- led to the policeman made his appearance the prisoner ,tin the, tear the card out of witness's hand, but he faile d ;09 attempt; and as he gave such a very unsatisfacto r y ' o f tb 6 of himself, he was then handed over to the cust o d y Jr policeman. AO he Mr. CoTriatonnef said that robberies of a veil s scription had taken place at different public- hoo" l a ip metropolis, and that they were generally.comm itted o a. 1 a very dexterous manner as to leave no doubt that a r e f, e P t organised gang went about for that purpose : that 10 y O, sent instance the complainant had been plundered t° oelt serious amount, and that although there was at Pre s , e [thet suspicion against the accused, and as it was inteadeu the, further inquiry should take place, he (the Magistrate), by then , fore, under the circumstances, thought it most advissool the present stage of the examination that the prison er woe' reserve what he had to say until then. He, howeve r ' use his own discretion on that point. The prisoner said he had nothing to conceal; the into g into the Fleece, had a glass of ale and a cheroot in re'j lour, and that while there he heard an alarm- tha t tbe r $ ll box was stolen, and he left the room and went to the h ar s . l is had a glass of ale while standing there, and after"' " the house, when he was followed and so uncerel o t• P $ brought back and questioned as if he were the t bie added that none of the people in the house were bi g a, ci t i o tances, and that he merely went in there as he mig ht oth T er public-house of a similar description. + the r d ' he complainant was recalled, and he s t a ted tha t belt, soner had asserted a falsehood in saying that , he.. 11% 105, of ale at the bar after the robbery, when, the fact W" „str the house the moment the alarm of the cash-box h e ' was given. • i dareil i Mr. COTrINGHAM asked the prisoner if his ro d r I,‘ was Bloomsbury= square ; and, if it was, at what nill.° e , e st,, he live in that place? The prisoner said, that at Pr e , wished to decline answering the question, and e%P r fit ece:o hope the Magistrate would accept of bail for his aPPef c arr t ,' l s Mr. CorriaiGnaat, however, refused to accept ' to 4 1 0 under the circumstances, and remanded the prisone r tre a an opportunity of some of his associates being t ti ' l iet custody.
