(YESTERDAY.) • MANSION -HOUSE: THE COAL TRADE.--Capt. illi 'drum, of the Eliza col lier, of Newcastle, appeared upon a summons to answer the complaint of George Thorborn, am! several other seamen, who charged him with having unreasonably detained them for several weeks in -the port of London. The justice-room was crowded with persojis interested in the coal trade, amongst whom were several highly respectable shipowners and coal fa:Ttors. Sir P. Laurie presided upon the occasion. The complainants, who in fact - summoned the captain of the Eliza because they did not know how 'to get their case before the public by any other . means, stated that they and from 100 to 200 other seamen, vrhohad worked colliers from the north to the port of. London, had been detained in tlie river six weeks between Gravesend' and the upper section of Illaelmall, having unfortunately subjected themselves to such opporssivedelay by signing articles to perform the whole voyage.. The amount to which each of them • would be entitled at the end of the voyage was no more . .. than 44 . and no part of that money conk(' they 'obtain to "send to their wives and families, so that the most poignant distress was inflicted upon multitudes in cot aeqmce of the dis agreement between the pittnen and . *Timmins, the former having struck for higher •-'.lind the latter being determined_to ge t . as high a , Akpc4sible for their coals. _ it: ---,..- _ `'- " s k Sir P. LAT:art—Ho* many colli e r s are now in the port of . London ? One of the coniVainants—About two hundred, and while They are holding out for high prices you may guess our situation when your Worship is told that 'several of us have seven, eight, or ten children each to support. Sir P. LAURIE—It appears that by the . articles which you have signed you may be delayed here an- unlimited • time. their cries and the violence of 'their conduct attracted a. mob of two hundred persons round thew, and it was with the greatest 41ifficulty they were removed to the station-house. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at NAWORIW CASTLE CUMBERLAND. It falls to our lot to „record an account of one of the most woeful and destructive fires that, perhaps, ever occurred in the county' of Cumberland. About tw o o'clock on Saturday afternoon l as t, a most violent tire broke out at Haworth Castle, onaof, the seats Df the Earl of Carlisle, when an ex press was immediately sent oft' to Carlisle fof.the fire engines and other assistance. The engines were almost instantly sent off by the railway, and arrived at the scene of destruction about six o'clock. 'the progress and devastation of the fire in the meantime had proved so rapid and violent, that ma the arrival of the engines the roofs of the principal building had fallen in, with the exception of .the large tower, which th e uncontrollable element had no t reached. The exertions of the firemen were directed to the preservation of this tower, which, after the most venturesome and arduous work, was at last with great difficulty saved. There are various rumours afloat as to the origin of the fire. Sonic say that it was froni.one of the chimney flees; others that it broke eut in a room where-had been no fire for years. We understand that the Yaluable'collection of 'old.paintings, by the best masters, and also the ancient and valuable fur niture, were nearly all destroyed; The smoking ruins of Naworth Castle are all now that remain of tlio baronial man sion of the great Barony of Gilsland, situate in a verdant park, embosocued among lofty trees on the south margin of the river Irthing. .This specimen of a feudal residence con sisted of two lofty towers, connected by other masses of ma sonry, inclosing a quadrangular court. Up to the time of its destruction by fire, on Saturday last, it was kept up in the style in which it appekrecrwhen occupied by Lord William 41 ° 94 ard , tbk . `,Vititixt.W.ii.l" of "The Lay of the Last etrel." Fortunate, hoviEfet for the sake 'of curtiqult q, that the tower which is- saved is' that widish contains the private apartments and furnitare, - his library, 'Oratory, and armoury, which- "convey a strong impression of 'the soli tary grandeur and.inconvenient magnificence of the border feudal Lord." The private apartments communicate by secret passages with the dungeons; thus, whilst reaaing in his library, or engaged in his confessional, his eyes might still be directed towards his prisoners and their guards, so that it may be truly said of Naworth Castle, " that; sus picion was its architect' and fear its founder." Large concourses of people from Carlisle, Brampton, and the• sur rounding districts, hastened to the spot to lend eyeryassist ance in endeavouring to extinguish the fire, but without effect, except the :preservation of " Belted Will's" tower. Much credit is due to the firemen, and more especially to Mr. Richard Son, ironmonger, of Carlisle, and other trades men, whose exertions were of the most arduous and daring character. The fire was distinctly seen on the Botcherby road at Carlisle, a distance of about ten miles, and being Saturday evening, thousands of people congregated there, to view the distant mighty flames, which illumined the whole canopy of the sky for miles around with a brightness and effect most wonderfully astonishing and sublime. The, loss sustained by this fire cannot as yet be actually ascertained, but it will be enormous. No lives were lost. Inspector Penny stated that nothing could be mom violent or disgraceful than the prisoners' behaviour in the call.

MANSLAUGHTER.— William Rend was brought up, on remand i 4larged with feloniously killing and slaying Catherine Sheehan, of No. 4, Carrier-street, St. Giles's. It appeared, from the evidence of Ellen, Johanna, and Mary Sheehan, the mother and sisters of the deceased, that the prisoner and John Sheehan, brother of the de ceased, lodge in the same apartment. The deceased was a person of dissipated habits, and on the night of Satur day, the 11th, or rather the morning of Sunday, the 12th, between one and two o'clock, cazae home under the in %mace of liquor: She- became talkative and querulous, and so awaked the prisoner, who-told 'her to be silent:. -She - used offensive language towards hin2othereupon he jumped out of bed. and struck her on the„face; with his clenched fist. 4e then dressed.

The complainant replied that such was the case. In the Act of Parliament for the regulation of the trade it was 'so laid down that the poor labouring man had no chance in a contest with the rich man, who would wait until the market might rise. Captain Mildrum said it was useless and absurd to charge him'with having detained the men. He acted under the direction of the shipowner, who was naturally anxious to obtain a fair price for the coal, and the delay was as muds against, the owner as against the men who had worked the vessel. The complainant declared that the shipowners had an allowanee made to them. A shipowner here denied most positively that any allowance whatever was made to those who conveyed the coal. He admitted that it was a very great hardship upop the poor men that they should be detained, but in fact, all parties were sufferers, the market in London being completely overglutted, so that if sales were made, the loss sustained would be serious. Sir P. LAURIE—Is there any prospect that relief will be afforded to these men ?—Captain Mildrutn said he did not know. He knew that they were much- ineon venienced, and he had offered them "half voyage," but they refused it. The complainants said if " half voyage " had been offered to them when first they began to feel the effects of Ole delay; they would gladly have accepted it, but no proposition of the kind had been made until very lately. Captain Mildrum declared that he did not at al detain the ship, but he was bound by the articles, and he sus tained a loss proportioned to that which the complain , ants suffered, and he had much more to do, and the whole responsibility. Sir P. LAURIE—The fault is evidently in the law, ,which is calculated to oppress the poor man who toils , necessarily, for the support of his. family. Here is a very severe judgment, indeed, upon the working man. I trust that the representatives and the Magistracy of the districts in which such cases of distress have origi nated will take up the matter and attempt to provide some remedy. One of the complainants—There is no hope in quar ters of that kind, your Worship. All the magistracy and great men, and representatives, aro coal-owners. They are all interested in keeping up the price of coals, and what chance have such as we against,them ? . None On earth. Sir P. Launvo--It would appear, then, from what you say, that there exists a combination between• the coil.. owners and the coal factors, and that as the public won't now purchase coal at the price required, you are to be the victims ? A coal factor and shipowner rose and declared that there was no such thing as a combination or conspiracy existing hetween the coal 9wnera in '..the north and any persons in Loridimbut Alto fact nats if the coals were , to be sold at - the prices now offered, as much money as would pay for the freight and she other charges would not be received. Another coal factor said there was no remedy for the evil complained. of. He had had several ships in the port for the last seven weeks, and h e was o bli ge d i n consequence of the 'overglut to avoid working them. The coal owners of the north had nothing at all to do with the matter. Almost all the coals which had lately come in had been purchased by shipowners on speculation, and the speculation had failed for the reasons already stated. Sir PETER LAURIE --I trust the condition of these poor men will be taken into consideration by those who derive profit from their labour. They say that this is only the second voyage they have made within the last five or six months, and if they are to be detained in this manner, how on earth are they to maintain their families? One •of the shipawners, who is also a coal factor, here declared, that whatever might be the state of the market, he certainly would sell the cargoes in his vessels a week hence. lie also stated to Sir Peter Laurie that ail the men who had been detained would, no doubt whatever, be remunerated upon their return home. Some of the complainants assured Sir Peter Laurie that they had no expectation of the kind. They never had the least indulgence or consideration extended to ' them by the wealthy men who had so much in their power, and who exerted the whole of their influence and authority for the benefit of themselves. Sir PETER LAERIE—WeII, I am sorry for your condi tion, but there i s no law which will sanction my inter ference for your benefit. The case will, no doubt from the interest felt in the circumstances, be submitted to public opinion through the Press, and I dare say that through such channel remedy may result from exposure. Although I cannot relieve you I do not regret that you have sought redress at the bands of the Lord Mayor. The case can only be met by an Act of Parliament, and I trust that although the complainants say the magis tracy in the coal districts are all coal owners, some ef fectual means may be adopted to protect these poor men and enable them to share with their families the produce of their labour. The captain was then told that he was wholly excul pated, and the complainants retired, expressing hopes, but appearing to despair. An elderly man, named Thomas Marsh, of very re spectable-appearance, and with a head as white as snow, was charged with having committed a robbery in the warehouse of Messrs. Lea, Wilson, and Co., the exten sive silk manufacturers in Goldsmith-street. Mr. Caldwell, warehouseman in the house, stated that the prisoner, about a week ago, called at the warehouse, and desired to see some silk handkerchiefs. Witness showed him several, but took no particular notice of him, never suspecting that a person of his appearance contemplated a robbery. He made some objections to the width of the handkerchiefs, and went away without purchtisitov any. After his departure witness missed some of the goods which had been exhibited, and ascer tained in the course of the evening that twelve hand kerchiefs had been stolen. On Saturday, the prisoner again entered the warehouse, and witness having made previous arrangements in the event of a second visit from -him, waited upon him. The prisoner looked at several handkerchiefs, and was observed cautiously de positing three of them in his pocket. He then said he would call again, and was moving towards the door, when witness stepped up to him, and told him to deliver up the property which he had taken, He, with affected surprise, denied that he had put anything in his pocket; bid upon beifig told there was no use in denxing the fact, he pulled out the three handkerchiefs, said there must be some mistake in the business, and flung them into a corner. The prisoner said the statement of the witness was quite untrue, for he had never either put the handker chiefs into his•pocket or taken them out of it. Another person in the employment of the firm con firmed the evidence 9f Mr. Caldwell. One of the inspectors of the City Police said the pri soner was in the habit a robbing warehouses and shops, and was very 'clever at that sort of work. Sir PETER LAURIE—I have no doubt that a man so wholly unlike the character of a thief in appearance must, with such a propensity, do a vast deal of mischief. I thought, when I first looked at him, that ho was at the bar by mistake ; but I find that he is an adept, and I have no doubt that he will be transported for this offence. Committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Henry Jones and Charles Creed, paupers in the Hol born Union workhouse, were charged with outrageous conduct. Creed, when placed at the _bar, aff ec t e d t o b e b o th deaf and dumb, and his fellow prisoner said he was so. The Magistrate sent to the workhouse for an interpreter; but Creed was no sooner placed in the passage of the Court than ho commenced using the most abusive language towards the policeman who captured him, and replied to several questions. An interpreter, however, was sw orn , w h en i t a pp ea red that, at seven o'clock on the previous evening, the pri soners, who were under the influence of liquor, went along the footway in Baldwin 's-gardens and Gray's-inn lane, pushing, the passengers into the street. When remonstrated with, they used the foulest language. Police-constable 163 G came up. They then insulted who attempted to pass a l ong on an e rrand. a servant girl, The 'AIM wolf them into custody, and they at once fell upon him, The assistance of two other constables was obtained, whom the prisoners likewise kicked and k cuffed in a West ferocious tuauner. Who lott4oos3 of The prisoner, when asked for his defence, said, " I will reserve it for - a higher tribunaL" He was fully committed for trial Anne Mitchell was brought up on remand, charged with having stabbed John Dymmock with a knife. The facts of the case have already appeared in detail The prosecutor attended in Court, but in so weakly a condition that he could scarcely articulate. The prisoner was remanded for the evidence of the _surgeon at Bartholomew's Hospital, who refused to come without a fee. Mr. Greenwood issued a summons to compel his attendance. Charles Ford, servant in the employment of Mr. Queleh, an' hotel-keeper in• Fleet-street, was charged with having two gallons of whiskey without a permit. The prisoner met Morris, an Excise-officer, in Church street, Lower-road, I s li ng t on , on Saturday evening, when on his way to a customer of his master's with the liquor, and asked him the shortest way to the street in which the customer resided. Morris answered by taking him into custody, findiug that he had no permit. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and was fined 25/, or three months' imprisonment. Mr. Quelch paid the fine at once. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR. FOLKESTONE. Yesterday, shortly after three o'clock, much excitement was occasioned at Folkestone by the arrival of amounted ex press, with intelligence that afire of a most alarming charac ter had just broken out in the extensive homestead occupied by Mr. Taylor, and known as Enbrook Farm, situated about midway between Folkestone and Cheriton. The inhabitants were immediately on the alert to render the necessary assist ance, and a pair of horses, belonging to Mr. Valyer, the postmaster of Sandgate, which Were awaiting the arrival of a carriage at the railway station, having been attached to the fire-engine belonging to the parish of Folkestone, it was im mediately dispatched with an efficient body of men. On ar riving at the spot the fire was found to be raging furiously in the stack-yard belonging to the farm. Two wheat ricks were already destroyed, and the flames were rapidly extending themselves. Before water could be procured in any sufficient quantity to be of service, several adjoining stacks were on tire; and, as a strong north-easterly . wind was blowing at the time, small hope was entertained of saving any portion from the generall wreck. The inhabitants of Sandgate and the adjoining villages soon assembled in great numbers, attracted by the dense volumes of smoke which arose from the burning mass; and it is only right to say that each vied with the other in endeavouring, by the most active exertions, to stay the progress of the fire. Unfortunately, however. from the dry and combustible nature Of the stock and premises their efforts were of no avail, and within little more this half .an hour of the outbreak a large barn full of wheat, all the ricks in the stack-yard, and various lesser out-buildings, were one complete burning mass. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that all those at work on the farm where the fire broke out could do was to remove the horses and other live stock out of danger. All hope of saving the farm-buildings having ceased, the efforts of the workmen were directed to the residence of Mr. Taylor, which fortunately stands rather removed from the home stead. Notwithstanding this circumstance, however, it wag several times in imminent danger. and escaped only by keeping the walls constantly cool. The fire in the stackyard and homestead continued to rage with undiminished violence, and only ceased when it bad literally burnt itself out. the last up-train left last night ,nothing remained but a heap . of smoddering ruins. It is said that the accident originated from a spark supposed to have been blown from the locomotive engine of the eleven o'clock down-train into the stack• yard, and from a personal inspection of the spot, such art occurrence appears extremely probable. Under ordinary circumstances it appears sufficiently far removed from danger; but, yesterday the wind blew at some periods with such fearful violence near the coast, that it is impos -sible to say where security might exist. It is said that the stoker was attending to the lire as the engine passed over the embankment, beneath which the farm is situate, and that a large number of red hot einders fell from the tire near the spot. If this really be the case, the accident is easily accounted fir. Mr. Taylor is a young man very highly respected, and, unfortunately, is stated to be un insured. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—Among the multitude of opinions and re commendations afloat on the subject of the currency, there is one by Mr. Leckie which seems to be peculiarly worthy of notice, and that is, to abolish the legal tender clause as now attached to the Bank of England paper, the effect of which would be, instead of locking it up in one place, to " saturate" th e country with gold, thus leaving to tilt Bank, in the event of a continental war, a supply to fall back npon. A correspondent suggests, that as the new banking measure of Sir R. Peel provides for the registration of all the names of persons interested in joint-stock banks, a similar enactmeat to include bankers generally, whether of issue or deposit., would be, felt as add ing greatly to the security of the public.. What oc curred in the failure of Hammersley's is a case pre eiselyin point,* if it had been known to the cus tomers "of the 'Rank :that only one individual was responsible -to 'them, they would either • bare with drawn their deposits, or by insisting upon additions to the firm, have secured themselves against danger. Many instances, if not of the same kind, nearly approaching to it, may exist at the present time, and of the firm ac tually plari-Dd in- the list, it occasionally happens that not one name of,those actually in it appears, the old descrip tion being -kept up long after the business; has paste& into other hands. The suggestion appears to be a very reasonable one. A letter from Mogador of the 19th ult. says— " Th e commerce of Mogador continues in the same crippled state. Almost every production of this country is lower in price in London than it is in Mogador, and yet the Mer chants continue to carry on business! The only possible way for them to do business is never to pay their duties when they export produce. But, indeed, this is their system. They make up their minds to involve themselves in delit with the Emperor to the amount of thousands of dollars, and to remain, on account of this debt, in this country for ever. " There are twcror three joint•stock companies advertised in the English papers 'for exploring the mines and develop ing the wealth of Morocco. These can never come into ope ration, for the Emperor's policy of enslaving European mer chants is quite against them. But if the Emperor can trick the parties, he will." S UN.—Stocks close better than they were in the morn ing, being 994 to for Consols, 'and 984 1 for Reduced Threw per Cents. There was no alteration, however, in the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Securities. The Foreign Market also looked more buoyant. Spanish Actives touched 24 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 35 to 1. Mexican were done at 354 to 1, being about previous quotations.

A correspondent sends us the follovring particulars of the melancholy accident at London-bridge Wharf, from an in quiry instituted yesterday (Monday) at the pelic e s t a ti ons i n the city and at \Yapping. The boat into which the children ventured belongs to a waterman named Williamson, and at the time of the accident it was rowed by his son, a youth nineteen years of age, who had been duly indentured to ins father, and was, consequently, so far qualified to ply for hire upon the river. The boat, however, was not licensed, as it had been purchased only a few days, and the necessary instructions furnished in the 2d and 4th by-laws of the Master and Wardens of the Watormen's and Lightermen's Company had not been complied with. From the number of those already known to be lost, and those rescued, it is evi dent that more were taken on board the skiff than the law allows, as the proviso distinctly states that if more than eight persons are carried, the party is liable to a fine of 5/. By an Act passed in 1742, such an offender would be liable not only to the arnercement, but to a disqualification, amount ing to a prohibition from plying at all for twelve months. This statute, however, is rendered obsolete by the above by law, passed during the mayoralty of Alderman Lucas. The following is a correct list of the persona known to be missing, and of those subsequently restored to their friends :—Lost, Julia Lane, aged twelve years, resident at Brin's-court, Southwark; Robert Thurlow, eight-and-a-half, 12, Shaftes bury-place, Aldersgate-street ; W. Newton, thirty-eight, Allen-street, Goswell-road. Up to this afternoon (Monday), other inquiries have been made, but it is not quite clear that the parties inquired for were on board the boat when she was upset. Restored, George Field, William Bird, Charles New ton (brother to the above, who went down); Joseph New som, and Henry Thurlow. A lad of the name of Leicester, who was supposed to be dead when taken into the Castle public-house, in St. Mary-at-hill, recovered after consider able !attention, and was eventually removed to his home. Another boy was restored at the Steam-packet Hotel, and furnished with a change of clothing by the landlord. It is to be hoped that the authorities will take immediate steps to stay the nuisance of these overcrowded boats, in so danger ous a part of the river. None of the bodies have at present been found.

THE RECENT GALES. Since Saturday last the weather has been more like that generally prevailing in March and-November than at the latter end of May. The effects of the north-easterly gales have been most severely felt at various points along the coast, and accounts from more distant quarters are looked for with the greatest anxiety. On Sunday the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and the shipping detained by the easterly gales in the Downs suffered much damage, many of them being driven from their anchorage out to sea, and others cast ashore. During the afternoon a schooner was observed by the Dover boat-men rounding the South Foreland in great distress. She was evidently at the mercy of the waves, and attempts were made to render some assistance from the shore. Ihe sea, however, ran so high that the efforts of the boatmen were entirely fruitless, and the vessel shortly after went down in deep water, when all hands perished. At an earlier pe riod of the day a large brig had driven ashore under the cliffs eastward of Dover, but, being lightened, she fortunately floated off with the next tide. Another brig got ashore near the South Foreland Lighthouse, and has sustained much in jury. Yesterday morning a large barque, which had ridden out the gale of Sunday in the Dover roads, parted both anchors, and was driven out into the Channel, but, the wind shortly after moderating slightly, assistance was sent off to her, and she was brought to an anchorage again during the afternoon. Margate, Dover, and Folkestone harbours are crowded with vessels driven in by stress of weather, many of them with loss of topmasts and spars, and in Sandgate Bay yesterday afternoon there were no less than thirty-five vessels at anchor waiting more moderate weather to proceed up Channel.. They steam communication with the Continent has been very materially interrupted by the weather. On Saturday the vessels had considerable difficulty in getting across, and on Sunday the Charon Government mail-packet, bound for Calais, after beating about in the Channel for some hours, was compelled to give up all hope of making that port, and put into Boulogne, where she landed her mails and passengers. The Charon was the first boat to leave Boulogne yesterday, and during her passage the sea rose so high that one of her passengers, who was seated on deck Rear the helmsman, was washed overboard when the vessel was about mid-channel. Fortunately the gentleman was a most expert swimmer, and. notwithstanding the buffeting of the waves, he kept himself afloat until the packet was put about and a rope had been thrown to him, which he grasped firmly hold of, and was then rescued from his perilous situation. The Folkestone boat did not go out on Sunday night, and her passengers remained at the South-Eastern Pavilion. The wind greatly moderated during the latter part of yesterday afternoon, and the Boulogne boat was within sight of Folke stone when the seven o'clock train left. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LONDON DOCKS.—; Yesterday morning, about half-past twelve o'clock, an in acci dent of a peculiarly frightful characte r happened the East ern Basin of the London Dock, to a man named Thompson, belonging to the Sylph, a vessel trading to the West Indies, and which is now unloading at that quay. He was aloft doing something to the rigging, when, from some unex plained cause (being perfectly sober at the time), his foot slipped, and he fell from the m a in- t o p sail y ard, a height of perhaps 30 feet, head-foremost on to the deck, striking, in his descent, against the handle of the winch used for hoisting out the; sugar hogsheads, which the men had left hardly three minutes before. His skull was literally dashed to pieces by the fall, and the deck strewed with his b ra i ns. When taken up he was quite dead, and presented a shocking spectacle; the face being smashed to a mummy, and the arms and ribs completely broken. The horribly -mangled retnams w ere conveyed on a stretcher to the dead-house of Sr. George's-in-the-East, where they await a Coroner's inquest, which will be held at the Wellington public-house, adjoining the church, this day, " 'What renders the occurrence the more lamentable. is, *that the poor man had rejoined his wife and family only two days.before, after returning 'safely from a voiakio to the Wed tudicqt DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BRUSSELS AND ANTWERP RAILWAY. ANTWERP, MAY 18.—A dreadful accident has occurred on the railroad from Brussels to Antwerp, at a station four miles from the latter town, named Bad Goed. The train which arrived at this station about five o'clock was, while in full progress, thrown off the line, and brought in contest with a luggage train. The concussion was fearful in the extreme ; three persons were brought in dead last night, fifteen grievously wounded, and about forty with contusions more or less serious. The accident is said to have been occasioned by the carelessness of the railway servants in attending to the points, so that at the junction with the Ostend line the car riages were thrown off the line, and came into collision with the baggage-train. Strange to say the engine, the tender and one carriage continued upon the proper lino, but were violently separated by the concussion from the remain ing carriages. Another account states that the rail was under repair, and that one rail, which had been replaced, was imperfectly bolted and fastened at the extremity to wards Brussels. As the train passed over it the fastening was loosened, and after the passage of the first carriage the end tilted up, caught the wheel of the next carriage, which was thrown off the line,: and thus occasioned the accident. The carriages were crowded with passengers, and among them several English people. One Englishman was c arr i e d to the hospital of St. Elizabeth, but after having his wounds dressed was able to be removed to a private residence. I could not learn his name at the hospital, as hi s st v • was s hort, and no record made. Another had his facesg:filr.:d—ly; c ut and contused, so that his features could no t be recognis ed and a third, who had left his own carriage and was t ra was severely woun ded ta veiling with his courier, but not, it is to be hoped, to require am in, the legs,. P An Eng lish lady is also named as having been al, but I will not repeat the name, as it is a common one, until I can ascertain if the report is correct. F o u r Ge anbakers who had been in England, and were returning to their emPloyment, got into a carriage which had been recently painted, but left it for another in consequence of the strong smell of the paint. It was a providential removal, for the newly painted car riage was literally crushed to atoms. A Belgian advoc ate 'had both his legs so frightfully jammed, that appears inevitable. dome accounts say that there are-already ten persons dead, but I hope it is exaggerated. The numbers I have reported were given me at the hospital. Sir James Duke still continues unable to attend to his Parliamentary dutiei from severe indisposition, which confines him to his room at Brighton. HOT BLAST CASES.--We understand that the expe rienced ironmasters to whose arbitration was submitted the disputes between the hot-blast patentees and the proprietors of the extensive iron-works at Penydarvan, Aberdare, and Trodegar, as to the amount payable -by the latter for in fringing,the patent, have, after a careful investigation, issued a final award, finding the patentees entitled to nothing, and ordering each party to pay their own expenses. We are in formed that the proprietors of the above works had previously offered, far their use of the patent, one shilling per ton upon 4 the Iron made by them ; but that this offer was refuel 9 . - t,e , ,-4' _ 2 I s : colgoLueroN - or :Tun: a j- 4t , • THE LAVE MR.

THE CASE OF JOHN L. BROWN. The following letter will give universal satisfaction, not only to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, but to those numerous parties over the country who took an interest in the case of John L. • sTown, condemned originally to deaih for aiding in the escape of a slave, is South Caro lima, United States:— " British Consulate, Charleston, April 26, 1844. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt, by this morning's mail, of your letter- of the 30th ult., trans mitting a copy of resolutions adopted at a public meeting held in your city on the preceding day ; and 1 have the most lively gratification in being able to inform you that John L. Brown, the individual who was condemned to death at Winns borough, in this State, for aiding the escape of a female slave from her master's service, has been pardoned by his Excel lency the Governor of South Carolina, and released from con finement.

" To John Urquhart, Esq., Acting Chief Magistrate of the city of Edinburgh." —Scotsman. • To INVALIDS—In eases of indigestion, loss of up. petite, and general debility, even where the muscular power is lost, and it is vain to expect relief from medi cine, the highly nutritious essence of turtle cannot be too strongly recommended; it infuses fresh life to the body, and thereby affords nature an opportunity of ex ercising all her powers to overcome the disease. It also makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from the real, at one-tenth the usual expense; and with game, poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more delicious than anything that ever yet appeared on an English table. Prepared solely by M. De Barre, many years cook to his late Majesty Louis XVIII, 26, Nassau -street, Middlesex Hospital, and sold by Mrs. Lawton, 8, Rath bone-place, price 4s. 6d., Bs., and 215.; the 5!. cases con tain six guinea bottles. CONGREvE ROCKETS.—One of the most formidable engines of destruction which any vessel, particularly e steamer, can make use of, is th e Congreve rocket, a most terrible weapon, when judiciously applied, especially where there are combustible materials to act upon. The very first rocket fired from the Nemesis was seen to enter the large junk against which it was directed, near that of the admiral, and almost the instant afterwards it blew up with a terrible explosion, launching into eternity every • soul on board, and pouring forth its blaze like the mighty rush of fire from a volcano. The instantaneous destruction of the huge body Beamed appalling to both sides engaged. The smoke, the flame, and thunder of the explosion, with the broken frag ments falling round, and even portions of dissevered bodies scattering as they fell, were enough to strike with awe, if not with fear, _the stoutest heart that looked upon it.— Voyage of the Nemesis. THE PRINCE Or WALES.—We have great pleasure in announcing that the first presentation to Christ's Hospi tal of the Prince of Wales, recently become a Governor of that Royal foundation, has been conferred on a son of Mr. Hunt, the indefatigable Secretary of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Institution. We believe Mr. Hunt owes the se lection of his son entirely to his well-deserved reputation as a philosophic investigator, whose claims were made known at the palace by Sir John Herschell, on forwarding a copy of Mr. Hunt's recent publication, entitled " Researches on Light." Her Majesty and the Prince expressed, through Colonel Anson, their pleasure in haVing the opportunity of promoting the interests of science in Cornwall by the use of the Prince of Wales's influence.— West Briton. THE LATE MR. BEcKronn.—Mr. Beckford's ther, the alderman was not a merchant, hi s connec ti on w i t h the City was entirely political. He was the eldest son of Sir Peter Beckford, accounted the richestsubject in Europe, who left also extensive estates to his younger children, viz., Julius, grandfather of the late Lord Rivers, Francis, whose descendants now alone retain the name; Elizabeth, Coun tess of Effingham, and Ann, the mother of Lord Seaford.: Peter Beckford was the son of a successful soldier, Colonel . Beckford, Governor ofJamaica, who was nephew to Sir Tho nias Beckford, of Ashstead, in Surrey. The family had oris ginrdly large estates in Gloucestershire, &c., but Sir William Rockford died fighting for King Richard on Bosworth field, and the fortunes of the family fell with him. And you will not be sorry to hear, that the works published by Mr. Beck ford did not " exhaust his productive powers." Masses of manuscripts remain which may be given to the public, and which I do not think you will find unworthy the advantage of your notice.—Correspondent of the Athenaeum. NEW POLICE COURTS.—Two new police courts on the Surrey side of the water will shortl t y he beßoopreoug, and nedhfor thepublic business ; the first at Stone's-end, in _ other in Kennington-lane, Lambeth. This latter police court is to be established instead of the Lambeth-street court, and the Magistrates of that court will then for the future sit at Kennington. The business at Lambeth-street is to he transferred to the Thames police, and the Lambeth -street court abolished. The Magistrates at the Kennington-lane court will relieve the Union-hall Magistrates of a great num ber of their present charges, as it is in contemplation that the entire of the L division Of police should take their prisoners to the new court at Kennington, to be disposed of at that place, instead, of bringing them up at Union-hall as hereto fore. It is also reported that the police court at the Tewll - is - to be re-established.

A. Fletcher, of Fins bury, London. The raging element rapidly extended to the barn and other farming buildings, a haulm stack and hay-stack, all which were in a blaze before the Brain tree and Bocking engines (four in number) arrived, and were in a short time destroyed. The buildings (late the property of John English, Esq., deceased) were insured in the Essex Equitable Fire-office, and we are informed Mr. Fletcher is protected by insurance for all that is destroyed belonging to him, his carriage excepted. The looker states that he went round the premises about a quarter of an hour before the fire, and all appeared to be rights he has, there fore, no doubt that it was wilfully occasioned.—Essex Herald. EXTRAORDINARY LoNOEvITY.—Died, on Monday, the 17th instant, at Crossmolina, near Broadhaven, in Errie, Grace Devil, at the extraordinary age of 122 years / sh e was born in the year 172 2 , and had an accurate recollectio* of all the public occurrences of note in her native distrlct ibr a full century preceding the last ten years. But . of the events of that latter period she knew nothing, and even matters that regarded herself had no traces in her memory. Her mental faculties seemed uaimpaired when she eonversedofthingslong gone by, but she spoke like a child on the affairs of later years. She had several children, but one only survives ; and although lie has reached his 80th year, she neverealled him anything but "my poor boy Peter.". I 'J Constitun.
