NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL. SEPT. 19. The morning's performances yesterday consisted of Purcell's Jubi kite, a selection from the Requiem, and Calvary. Miss Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, I Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Machin were the vocalists to whom the Jubilate was intrusted, and they were very successful in giving its various parts their due devotional expression. The selection from the Requiem-Mozart's last, and, as some persons think, his greatest work-comprised the chorus " Dies ire:," quartet " Tuba minim" (Mme. Grist, Miss Dolby, Sig. Mario. and Herr Staudigl) ; the chorus " Rex tremendce Majistatis," that beautifu l movement, the " Re cordare ;" quartet (Grist, Miss Dolby, Mario, and F. Lablache); chorus " Lachry, mesa Dies ilia ;" chorus " Sanctus Domi nus ; " quartet " Benedictue " (Grist, Dolby, Mario, and Staudigl) ; the choruses " Hosanna in Exceisis" and " Aguas Del ; " solo and chorus " Lux itterna." With these per formers, the well-trained chorus, and the toil and complete band, the effect was excellent. Ca:vary was performed better than in 1839. The as John was the smile ; but the changes of Staudigl for Philips was an improvement; and Machin sustained the character of Peter better than Belle. In the evening the hall was as crowded. The concert was a very capital one. Beethoven's symphony in C minor, and Weber's Der freischutz were splendidly played by the band. Staudigl, Grist, Mario, and Lablache were in fine voice, and produced an electrical effect upon the audience. Staudigl was encored in Schubert's " Wanderer ;" Mario in Beethoven's "Adelaide" and Donizetti's "Come e gentil ;" Grist in liellini's " Qui la roes ;" and ▪ Grist and F. Lablache in Guglielmi's " Ah, guardate." In the second part, Mr. Benedict and Master Day played a duet on the piano -Torte and violin, and Mr. Baumann a concerto on the bassoon, and re - ceived'great applause. The concert concluded at twelve o'clock with - a chorus, adapted from Rossini's Tarieredi, " Victoria, our Queen." - - DEATH FROM DELIRIUM TREMENS.—On F r id ay - Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Prince's Head Tavern, Bucking. - ham-street, Strand, on the body of Thomas Davis, a ge d 38 years. 4% The deceased had formerly bceu in a very large way of business, but - through his habits of dissipation he had been much reduced, and oh - tattled a scanty livelihood by jobbing in Hungerford-market.

It opened with " God save the Queen," the first verse sung as a solo, by . Miss Poole ; the second, as a trio, by Hobbs, Hawkins, and Machin ; and the third, by Madame Caradori Allan. The effect of the chorus was ex tremely grand. Alexander's Feast followed, forming the first part of the concert. This composition was perhaps never fetter performed. They played the music with the true ex pression and the utmost precision, and, in the accompani ments, did not overbear the voices. The vocal parts were sung by Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Machin, Herr Staudigl, and a fine chorus of about WO voices. Mr. Hobbs sang his portions of the ode very chaste ; his voice is scarcely of sufficient power to fill the hall, but se sings with great expression, and delivers Handel's compo sitions in the legitimate style. Mr. Hawkins, a true Han lelian, acquitted himself uncommonly well. Machin had very little to do, but that little was admirably executed ; as was the portion allotted to Herr Staudigl, who gave the song yhich Bartleman was once so famous for, "Revenge, Thno heus cries," in a firm and energetic style, and with wonder ful power. It was the first time this excellent vocalist had aeen heard in Norwich ; and he was very enthusiastically applauded. The ladies were in fine voice, and sang delight fully. The great charm, after all, in Alexander's Feast is the :horuses. " The many rend the skies with loud applause," s one of the most elaborately-worked out of them. As isual, Mr. Lindley played the violoncello obligato to Hobb3's recitative and air, " Softly sweet, in Lydian measures," and this, as well as the others, went well. The second part contained a very good miscellaneous .election. It opened with Mozart's symphony in G minor, au exquisite composition, finely played. The parts were sot repeated. Madame Caradori Allan sang an air from Ida Ole Torre, an opera by Nini, very charmingly. The song from Mozart's II Seraglio, " Ha! wie will ids triumphiesen," eras magnificently given by Staudigl, and encored. Madame lrisi then made her debut at the Norwich Festival. Her :eception was most cordial, and she sung " Bel raggio," from Semiramide, in her usual brilliant style. The applause was .very great at the conclusion. In the next piece, the beauti -'ul trio from Guilliaume Tell, " Troncar suol di." Mario and E. Lablache also made their first appearance at these festi vals. The trio was completed by Staudigl. Master Day then played one of De Beriot's cancertos (No. 3), on the violin, and was warmly applauded. Schulaert's " Ave Maria," was most expressively sung by Mario. Miss Poole then sang Benedict's pleasing son: - .3., "By the dark sea waves," from the Brides of Venice, delightfully. The exquisite duet, Sull aria," which was exquisitely sung by Grisi and Cara ion Allan, and it would have been encored but for the late ness of the hour. A cavatina of George LinleY's, " The forest 4laile," introduced Miss Dolby to the festival. She accom ianied herself on the pianoforte, and sung it admirably. The buffa duet, " Cop pazienza" (Madame Grisi and Signor F. Lablache) ; the aria, "Tit vedrai" (Signor Mario) ; and the iolacca and quartet, from I Puritani (Madame Grisi, Signor Mario, Signor F. Lablache, and Herr Staudigl), concluded the concert at a quarter past twelve o'clock. Although the evening was very unfavourable, there were quite as many persons in the hall as on the first night in 1842, and no fears are entertained of the success of the festival. The Bishop of Norwich and party, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Colborne, the Deans of Norwich and Ely, Einund Wode house, Esq., M.P., and a large number of fashionables were resent. Noawrcw, Sairr. Ili.—On Wednesday morning, notwithstanding ,he unfavourable state of the weather, St. Andrew's Hall was crowded with a gay and brilliant throng, who appeared to wait with anxiety for the commencement of the perfor.nances, which took place exactly At eleven o'clock. Weber's "Hymn,"with which the performances commenced, opens with a few solemn bars in which the double diapa sons of the organ were heard with great effect. A charming quartet, "At his command re turning Spring " (Miss Dolby, Miss Poole, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Machin), was sung with good taste. It concludes with a few bars of chorus, on the words " The summer suns their radiance fling," which hail a good effect. A bass recitative, " Behold, God is great," was most impressively delivered by Staudigl, who, in the words " Ye sons of men, your Maker's praise declare," gave full vent to the tones of his noble voice. A chorale "In peace your souls possessing," was :nest beautifully sung by Miss Dolby, Miss Poole, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Mewkins. This chorale, a solemn devotional air, gave a good idea of the majestic simplicity of that form of ecclesiastical music, and was most impressively delivered, the voices of the singers being ad mirably sustained by the organ. Ane' her noble quartet and chorus, " Jehovah reigns, he dwells in light," followed, which was charm ing!y sung by the vocalists already mentioned. This concluded " The Hymn," which is in every way worthy the name of Weber. A selection from the " Stabat Mater" of Rossini was then per formed, a composition which, though too theatrical in its form for the Protestant Church, independent of the ancient hymn to which it is adapted, contains many passages purely devotional. The duet " Cujus animama " was admirably sung by Grisi and Miss Dolby ; and Staudigl was steady and impressive in " Pro peccatis." Grisi was splendid in the " Inflammatus." The unaccompanied " Quando corpus," by Grisi, Miss Dolby, Mario, and F. Lablache, was exquisitely given. The chorusses could not have better sung, and the lovely Instrumentation of Rossini was finely executed. The Seasons formed the second and third part of the morning's per formance. The principal vocalists were Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Hobbs, Hawkins, Machin, and Herr Staudigl, who sang the music allotted to them with every excellence. The second concert, on Wednesday evening, was numerously at tended-. The scheme included an entire act of Don Giovanni, and a miscellaneous selection. The former went off, on the whole, flatly, though Mario's inimitable singing of " II mio tesoro," and the exqui site style in which the little trio in the finale to act l id , n betA D ve o e n n o D tt o av nn i a . Anna (Madame Grist), Donna Elvira (Miss Poole), i (Mario) was given, procured an encore of those two pieces. In " Batti, batti," Lindley's violoncello obligato divided the applause with Cara dori's singing. There were some gems in the second part. Beethoven's symphony in A was very well played. Madame Grist sang gloriously in Di Mater, and was encored. So was Staudigl, in " Itleldier than the cherry," and Miss Dolby in a Jacobite air, "Come off the Moors," when she substituted " Corns over to Charlie." Grist, Mario, F. Lablache, and Staudigl, were encored in " A te, o Cara," which was splendidly sung, and, but for the late hour, the duet, "Per Piacer alla Signora," would have shared the same fate ; it was charmingly sung by Caradori and F. lablache. There is now no doubt of the success of the festival. The last left a handsome surplus ; and this year the number which attended the "'Hall during Tuesday and yesterday has exc:ctled that of the first and second days of the last festival by 500 persons. ORONER'S INQUEST. Thursday a highly respectable jury was empannelled at the Royal Mortar Tavern, Woolwich, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, to inquire into the death of the seven unfortunate persons who lost their lives by the explosion in the Royal Arsenal, on Wednesday morning last. From all the information we could gather on the subject. it appears that the deceased were the only persons in the building when the ac -1 eident occurred, so that the cause of the melancholy catastrophe is at present involved in mystery. It appears that the building in which the sufferers were at work was, in consequence of the explo sion, considered so unsafe, that a portion of it was immediately pulled down, all the glass having been destroyed and the rafters on tire. The remains of the unfortunate men were removed to another building in the Arsenal for identifloation, awaiting the Coroner's in quisition. They did not scion to be much mutilated, there appearing on some of them a few contusions. From what we could gather, it appeared evident they had died from suffocation, the action of the fire having nearly destroyed the greater portion of their clothes, yet tom their personal appearance it was impossible to identify them ex cept from the remaining portions of their clothing. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies. They preeented a Most horrible spectacle, not a feature of any being re cognize-We, the whole of their clothing, with the exception of their shoes, being entirely calcined, and the bodies 'scorched in a most dreadfnl manner, the skin coming off at the touch. Mr. Colquhoun, the solicitor to - the Board of Ordnance, was present to watch the proceedings. On the return o f the jury witnesses were examined who Identified the bodies of the deceased, after which Joseph Carlisle, master turner in the Royal Laboratory, was exa mined, who stated that he had been engaged there 30 years. Yes terday morning about 10 o'clock he was in th e s h op, an d h eard the explosion, whe n, seeing the smoke, he west towards the buildin g w hich was on fi re. Asked where the persons at work in the b u ilding were, and was told they were inside. Witness forced the door open by running a barrow against it, when he discovered bodiesopening the door close. The engines came sail commenced playing. d o or witness saw that the bodies h a d no lif e i n . Th e bodies could not be remove d until halt an hour after wards,oha the m i n c onsequence of t he ra p idit y of the flames. The method of d estro ying the old fa sces was by removin g th e priming , and then sp litting the wooden case by means of a steel chisel and wooden mallet, the composition in the cases falling into a co pp er p an. For merly u i C could proce ss was gone through by means of a steel hatchet. ld be no danger its splitting the cases unless the chisel came in contact with some hard substance, such as grit. Witness could not sa y whether there wasim any great accumulation of composition in the co pner pan, or of pring in the box into which that was first emptied. Mr. Colquhou n remarked, that the Board of O r d nance w i s h e d f or the most searching irquiry, to ascertain whether an y p referable mode could be adop ted, or whether there was an y fault. This being the wh ole of me evidence to be brou g ht forward this e g request was adjoarued until ten the next mo rn i ng . The a h nd Coroner's inquest on the .bodies of the seven suf ferers who by the late explosion in the Ito, al Laboratory t ou c pel ehe d epar t m ent of the Roy al Arsenal, wets resumed yesterday at the Mortar respectable Tav j e ur rn Mr. J. Colquhoun attended as solicitor on the part of the Board of Ordance. Colonel Cockburn, Lieut.-Colonel ; . I"°lsvich. before C. J. Carttar, Es q ., an d a hi g hly Dansey, Licut.-Colonel Barney, and Mr. Coffin, the heads of the departments In the Royal Arsenal, attended to watch the proceedings, and to give evidence. The witnesses examined were Colonel James Patterson Cockburn, Director of the Royal Labora tory Department ; Lieutenant Anthony Oldfield, of the Royal Artil lery ; Colonel Charles Cornwallis Dan.ey, Fire-master ; Mr. Wm. COfti, the Deputy Storekeeper of the Laboratory ; and three of the men employed in the department; but the following sammary con tain, a ll t h a t ca n he gleaned from theireyldence as to this unfortunate affair :—lt appeared that the deceased men were employed in breaking up fusees in t he shed in which the explosion occurred, which was asot a building spec i a lly adapted for this purpose. The part of the floor where the men stood was, however, covered over with hides, and the whole of the floor was saturated with water. The mode of breaking up these fusees, the tools for accomplishing which were exhibited to the jury, was as follows :—The tube, which is about ten or twe donenches long, is first emptied of the meal powder, which is by boys. The fusee is then taken to a copper pan, and placed on an iron chisel, when it is struck with a copper knife by means of a wooden mallet, the fusee is thus cleft open, and the composition falls into a pan prepared for that purpose. The question before the jury was, at which end the fusee had been struck ? because, if it was placed ha an inverted position, a portion of the meal powder would come in contact with the steel chisel, in. which case there was great danger of an explosion. This was the eoursc generally pursued, but Lieutenant Oldfield, who was accidentally in the shed a few minutes before the explosion, swore distinctly that he observed the men break the fusees in both positions. The men, it appeared, also worked in nailed boots. Two men who had just quitted the shed experienced a vary narrow escape, one man being blown off a cart that was loading outside, the other being almost stunned by the explosion. The jury, after a deliberation of nearly en hour, at half-past twelve, delivered the following verdict : " That the deceased were killed by the explosion of com bustible materials, but from what cause the explosion took place there is no evidence to show." They also accompanied it with the following note, which the Coroner read to Col. Cockburn, the head of the departmeat :—" That the jury in returning this verdict in the case of John Crake, beg to state, that without imputing any want of caution to the authorities in directing tile mode of carrying on the work which the deceased was engaged in, at the same time submit for their consideration the propriety of discon tinuing the use of the steel chisel, and adopting, as formerly, the copper knife ; and also, that the men ought not to be allowed to work at such employment in nailed shoes or boots." Col. Cockburn said, he intended in future to extract the saltpetre by means of water, so as to avoid all chance of danger.

DAVIS.—DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—Mr. Davis, one of the principal contributors to the Nation, died this mornin g . He was under thirty years o f a ge, and held a very re spectable positron at the bar. Mr. Davis was one of the very few Protestants who allied themselves to Mr. O'Connell's Repeal Asso ciation. He was for some time the " Liberator's" pride and boast, for on th e so-called subject of " Irish Nationality," Mr. Davis, like the other young Irelanders, conceived any means justified to obtain the mysterious object. But Mr. Davis, of late, had fallen into bad odour with the gentry of the Intimidation Hall, because he dared to resist their assaults upon the Bequests Bill, and also, at a later date, the new colleges. Ile dared to object to the cry of the old and young Libe rators, and Dr. 3i•Hale and Dillon Browne, for exclusive Catholic colleges. Mr. Davis carried with him all "that was worth possess ing" of public opinion on these questions, and it is said it was a mooted point with the Committee of the Repeal Association, whether Mr. Davis and the other members of " Young Ireland" should not be openly denounced as advocates of infidelity. Latterly we miss this party altogether from the weekly meetings, and the press in the in terest of the Repeal Association are w orkihg their bed to injure it and the Nation paper. Mr. Davis was the author of some of the most remarkable revolutionary articles whi, h have appeared in the Nation, and while we may protest against his•opinions and his deeds, it must be conceded in Dublin, where he was well known, that he was a highly honourable and talented man. Apropos of the Nation— new paper entitled Old Ireland is to appear immediately, under the patronage of the O'Connells, and in opposition to the Nation. PUBLIC DEPARTMENTS. --A Parliamentary paper has just been printed, showing the number of persons on the redundant list of the several public departments at the com mencement of last year, and the number that remained at the close of the year. It appears that the number on the redun dant list, at the commencement of the year, was 68, of which 12 had in the year either died or become incapable of service; 9 of the aggregate re-entered the service during the year, making, at the close of the year, a diminution of 21 in the year, leaving, at the close, only 47 persons on the redundant list. There were as many as 280 persons on the redundant list at the close of the year 1836. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, 'SEPT. 20.—Wind this day at noon, S.E. by S., moderate breeze and fine clear weather.

SEPT. 20.—The match between the Duke of Marlborough's schooner yacht Wyvcrn, 205 tons, and Mr. Henry Hope's schooner yacht Zephyretta, 180 tons, took place to-day. The wind blowing a gale this morning, it was not expected that the yachts would start, but the Duke was determined that it should be p.p., an 1 at five minutes before one P.M. the signal gun was tired, and all parties crowded to the parade. At one o'clock they started from off the Castle under easy sail, the Zephyretta having only three storm trysails set, and the Wyvern had the Sam's number, with the addition of a storm jib. It was blowing a gale from the S.W., and they went away for the Nab Light. The only yacht accompanying them was the Flirt schooner, of 132 tons, Sir R. B. Graham, Bart., with her owner on board, and Mr. Delme Rat cliffe, Mr. Cotham, Lord Donegal (the Vice-Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron), and Mr. Hope (the owner of the Zephyretta). Ia the Zephyretta are Mr. W. Lyon and the Hon. Robert Gore ; in the Wyvern are the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Adam Loftus, and Captain Bentiuck. The course is from Cowes Castle to the Nab Light, thence round the Eddystone, and back—distance about 260 miles. They are not expected back till Saturday evening, and a great deal of anxiety is expressed for them and their daring crews. The Zephyretta is the favourite at present, but by the last accounts the Wyvern was ahead ; she carries a red flag, the other a blue, white, and red one. The match was originally for 4001. a-side, but the Duke had so much faith in his pet craft, that he offered to make it 1,000/. ; this Mr. Hope decline?, but agreed to increase it to 5001. a-side. There are four masters of yachts in each yacht. The follow ing members are appointed umpires :—Lord Adam Loftus and Captain J. Bentinck, on board the Wyvera ; Wm. Lyon, Esq., and Captain the Hon.

This match betifeen the Duke of Marlhdrough's yacht and Mr. Henry Hope's has terminated most unsatigfactory. ,Every one thought` them mad to start in such weather but they had not calculated tut their so soon giving in ; they rounded the Nab - under the sail , they started with, namely, two storm trysails, fore-staysail and storm-jib, and attempted to beat down channel against the southwest gale, when off Ventnor the Wyvern sprung her jibboom, bore up and run into Shanklin bay, and reached Cowes at 11.30 P.m. yesterday ; the Zephyretta continued on for a short time, then gave in, and run for Portsmouth, having sustained considerable damage, considering the tonnage of these vessels (about 200 each). How they were equipped and manned they ought to have been equal to any weather, and for the credit of their builders we should hope they are ; but we guess we have seen some'fruit schooners that would not have put back. The match is now at an end, and the money has been drawn, or this would have been a tine day for the start; the weather has set in line, the barometer which was yesterday 28.97. is notv 29.57. The Duke had four gentlemen from Woodstock, enjoying them , selves In aquatics—two of them farmers, one his land steward, the other a Dr. Palmer; they, as they had been sailing in the yacht, could not withstand the temptation of this trip to the Kddystone, or were persuaded into it. We will not attempt to write their description of what they saw and felt in their struggle with the gale, as we under stand they intend to publish their voyages and travels on their return home. The part they have told has created great mirth among their hearers, awl we doubt very much if they will ever again be tempted on board of a yacht engaged in a sailing match. Arrivals at the.

Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire Establishment, attended before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes to offer an explanation respecting a complaint which had been made on the precedinc , day by two men that they had worked at the'engines at the fire in William-street, and had been refused the customary donation.—The alderman, having taken their declaration that they were so employed, signed a recommendation to the superintendent that they should receive some reward for their exertions. Mr. Braidwood said he had refused payment because more men had been previously paid than could really have worked at it, at least continuously for the space of time that was con sidered to entitle them to compensation. The practice was to send a man round to each engine after it had been worked for a couple of hours, and take down the names of the persons who had been working it, but on the present occasion the hands were dispered before the names were taken, through the burning turpentine flowing towards it and setting fire to the engine. Only twenty-eight men could work at one time at this en gine, and he had paid thirty-four claimants before he rejected the two who applied to the alderman. He had paid 301. 7s. 6d. to the strangers who assisted the firemen in working the engines on land, and 191. to those who worked the floating engines. Besides this he paid nine men 2s. €4. each for saving the persons who jumped overboard, and 23/. for refreshments supplied to the men at the engines, the po licemen, and the firemen. He had paid away 541. in cash to the three hundred and ninety-one strangers who assisted the forty-six regular firemen in attendance on this calamitous occasion. The total sum paid by him for assistance to strangers was 80/. 7s. 2d. Mr. Alderman HuGHEs HUGHES desired that the men should be called in, if they were in the outer room, that they might hear the explanation. They were not in attendance. - Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said there could be no complaint of want of liberality on the part of the fire esta blishment, and he must leave the matter to the discretion of Braidwood. Sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. Alfred Carfile was brought up and informed by the Learned Re corder that judgment would not be passed upon him till next session, but that the period of his detention in prison would be considered when sentence was recorded against him. This concluded the business of the session, and the jury were Gowns, SEPT. 19. I thanked a,udllismissed. _ _ _ -/—,:: . " - OiIfCND JURY' ROOM. , ' ~ f /r.fSibre the COMMON SERGEANT.) In consequencb4if -the heavy nature of the business, and the great number of wane - Kies in attendance, a third Court was held on Friday, before the Common-Sergeant, in the grand jury•room. The only case tried there during the afternoon was the robbery at Messrs. Debenham and Stores sale-rooms. Thomas IThnhush, aged 39, was indicted for stealing a casket, a snuff-box, a watch, a quantity of doubloons, value 3001., the property of William Brumfitt Storr and Robert Debenham, in their dwelling-house. Messrs. Wilde and Ballantine were retained for the defence, and Messrs. Clarkson and Bodkin conducted the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON made a statement of the case to the jury. Mr. Walker was then examined by Mr. BODKIN—He stated that he is a watchmaker, residing at No. 40, Princes-street, Leicester square. The watch produced is one of his manufacture, and has his name on it. It was made three or four years ago. When the watch left his hands it had his address on it. That address is not on it now. It has been effaced by same - means. The rest of his evidence was the same as given before the magistrate. Mr. Bullock; an artist, residing at No. 8, Bruton-street, Berkeley square, stated that he purchased the watch two or three years ago from the last witness. Has since had occasion to raise money on it, and he therefore got it pledged at Fleming's, a pawnbroker, in St. Martin's-lane.. Witness did not pay the interest on the watch, and when the year expired the watch was forfeited. William Boor, an assistant at the pawnbroker's, stated that he remembers the watch being pledged at his mistress's shop. H. did not take it in himself, but it was pledged while he was present. He took down a description of it, and that description corresponds with the watch produced, except that the address has since been erased. Henry Richardson stated that he is a picture-dealer. He • remem bers going to sce some articles at Debenham and Storr's. He remem bers looking at a watch. Witness afterwards went to Mr. Walker to inquire if he was the maker of the watch. Witnesss afterwards in formed Mr. Walker of the loss of the watch. James Cloudy stated, that he is a clerk .1 Messrs. Pierce, the army-clothiers. Has known the prisoner for twenty years. Has purchased a watch from him, but cannot say when he did so. He was not satisfied with the watch, and applied to the prisoner, who gave him another in exchange Witness was under the impression that he received that watch in June or July, in 1844, but the prisoner in a memorandum of some transactions, stated the watch to have been given in May. The watch was after that in the possession of the prisoner to have a new spring. It remained with him for about a fortnight. After that, witness happened to be passing down Princes-street when he saw the name of Walker over a watchmaker's shop. Thinking that by chance he might be the maker of the watch, he entered the shop, and asked Mr. Walker if he could repair it. Mr. Walker on looking at the watch, said that it had been stolen, and informed witness that he should go with him down to Debenham and Storr's. Peter Spitler stated that he is foreman to Messrs. Debenham and Storr. In the month of April, 1844, there was a sale which lasted for three days—viz., the 16th, 17th, and 18th. Amongst the articles for sale were some portions of property from Miss Fleming's. There was a gold watch, numbered in the catalogue, 575. There was also a golden casket, weighing about thirty-one ounces, and a quantity of doubloons. That property was all right on Tuesday. At half-past twelve o'clock on Wednesday witness found that the casket was missing. The casket was placed at the end of the sale-room farthest from the door. The other articles were in glass cases behind the counter. The counter was passed by a sort of trap-door, which lifted up. Those parties frequenting the room who were known to be respectable men were allowed behind the counter to inspect the articles in the glass cases. The prisoner was present at the sale before twelve o'clock. Ile was 1n the habit of attending the sales, and was allowed behind the counter. Witness saw the prisoner at the glass case where the watch was placed. The watch was in the possession of witness between nine and ten &clock on the morning of the robbery. The prisoner, when he heard of the robbery, was one of the parties who offered to be searched. The robbery must have been effected by more than one person. There was no other watch like the one pro duced in the sale on that day. There were a great many persons in the room at the time. • By Mr. BALLANTINE—There might have been as many as forty dealers. Had known the prisoner for some time. He is in the habit of frequenting the sales and making purchases. There are many persons who live by that means. Articles of this description are passed ftom one dealer to another with a very small increase of profit. The pi ironer attended the sales as usual after the robbery. buying and selling articles as he had previously done. Mr. John Sturt stated that he is a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Debenham and Starr. Remembers the robbery at the sale rooms. On the following morning witness was in the office ; the prisoner was ilso there. Witness reoeived directions to go round to all the bullion dealers in the city, and inform them of the rob bery, and caution them as to purchasing property of this nature. It was a quarter to one o'clock when witness received these di rections. In consequence of the instructions he received he left the office, and was proceeding down Bedford-street, when he was followed by the prisoner, who asked him where he was going to? Witness replied, " Into the City." The prisoner then inquired if he had dined ; and on witness saying that he had not, he proposed that they should dine together, and afterwards go into the City, when he (prisoner) would inform him of the best places to give informa tion, and of those places where his information was useless. Witness accompanied him to Maiden-lane, and they dined together. In the course of conversation at dinner the prisoner said that he believed in spector Pearce was the officer employed by the house. Witness re marked his manner as he said this, and from further circumstances his suspicions were aroused, and he excused himself on some pre tence, and returned by a roundabout way to his master's office. On reaching the door of the sale-rooms he was surprised to see the pri soner already there. Witness went up to him, and the prisoner in quired what occasioned his return? Witness said that he had for gotten something, and then made a communication to Mr. Deben ham. Oa coming out lie found the prisoner there, and on stating that he was about to go round to the bullion-dealers, the prisoner proposed that he should accompany him to the Blue Boar, in Hol born, to see his wife off to Bedford. Witness went as far as the Blue Boar, and then excusing himself, he went round to the bullion dealers. Edward Collingrichie stated that he resides at Clerkenwell, and is a gilder and a refiner. Witness purchased some gold from the prisoner in April, 1844. It was in the form of what is called a skillet, or flat piece of metal. The simple furnace of a common jeweller would be amply sufficient to melt such a quantity of gold. It weighed 11 oz. I4dwts. Witness gave him 141. 4s. 3d. forlt. He never dealt wi' the prisoner on so large a scale before. William Pocock, an officer, stated that he took the prisoner into custody, He told him that it was for the robbery at Debenham and Storr's, and mentioned the circumstance of his having sold nee watch. The prisoner said that he bought it at a sale at Robins's, in Covent garden. Mr. Robins was called. He produced the catologues of his sales since April, 1844, and no such watch was sold by him. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury in defence, and called several witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. After deliberating an hour and a half, the jury returned into court with a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the pri soner to mercy. The CostsioN SERGEANT said that it was his intention to transport the prisoner, but in consequence of the recommendation of the jury, the sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN IN THE RGzsT's PARK.—On Friday an inquest was held by Mr. Mills, De puty Coroner for Middlesex, in the Board-room of St. Marylebone Workhouse, on view of the body of a gentleman, apparently between 50 and 60 years of age, presumed to be a foreigner, who committed suicide in the Regent's-park by shooting himself, under the following circumstances :—The first witness examined was police-constable Harris, D 112, who stated that about three o'clock on Friday morn• ing he was on duty in Sussex-place, Regent's-park, when he heard the report of firearms. He immediately repaired to the spot whence the sound proceeded, and discovered the deceased lying against the iron railings which inclose the ornamental water, blood issuing from Ills mouth, and apparently lifeless. He sprang his rattle, and sergeant Granger responding to the alarm, witness ran for Mr. Guy, surgeon, Upper Baker-street, who returned with him, and declared deceased to be dead. Deceased was on his back on the ground, and the fingers of his right oand were partially bent, and within two inches of a pocket pistol, which had only evidently recently been discharged. De ceased's hat and wig (black) were by his side. Witness assisted in carrying him to the workhouse, where he has as yet not been identified. The witness here described the dress worn by deceased, as also the property found on him, which were as follows : —A braided top brown coat, with beneath an olive-brown dress coat, a silk white, yellow, and black vest,. a chocolate-coloured scarf, black trousers , and socks, wills Wellington boots, a silk hat, maker's name " Dedent, Paris;" linen shirt, initials in pink silk, "E. 11., No. I." On his person was a gold watch (Lessine, maker), a gold pin enamel top, four small steel keys, and a pistol loaded to the muzzle, and which, on comparison, proved to be the fellow one to that which had been discharged. The pistols were quite new, but no name on them, and every article which deceased wore also seemed to be new and of foreign texture. In his waistcoat pockets there was found a purse of green, red, and white silk, and a mother-of-pearl eye-glass, with eight shillings and fourpcnco in silver. Sergeant Granger, R 21, gave corroborative testimony, adding that deceased was five feet ten incises in height, of very muscular frame, grey eye brows, and very nearly bald. To give time for publicity to be given to the melancholy catastrophe and the identification of the body, the inquiry was adjourned till seven o'clock on Wednesday evening next. GREENWICH. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—On Friday the house of the late Steven son Seavers, Esq., in the Blackheath-road, attracted a great number of persons, in consequence of a warrant having been placed in the hands ef the police, to make a forcible entrance into the premises for arrears of assessed taxes. Every means had been resorted to to evade pay ment and prevent an ingress by the widow and daughter of deceased, who kept several persons on the premises to resist the enforcement of the law. The interior of the house had been barricaded with the strongest timbers and iron fastenings, so as to defy ordinary means of attack. At twelve o'clock, however, Edward Lcgh, Esq., Chairman, and John Sutton, Esq.; one of the Commissioners of Taxes, accompa nied by Messrs. Smith and Flinch, clerks to the "Board, Frederick George Hammond, Esq., late a county magistrate, and landlord of the house, headed bylan inspector of police, three sergeants, and aposse of constables, proceeded to the gate, rang the bell, and knocked ; receiving no answer, a wheelwright named Mack stepped forward with a sledge hammer, and commenced the work of destruction by smashing in the panels of the doors, which were strongly lined with iron plates. At this moment Mrs. Seavers put her head out of an upper window, rang a bell, and asked the police what they wanted. If it was the taxes, she was ready to pay. Ingress having been effected, the land lord followed, and found the house divested of nearly the whole of the furniture which lie had let with the premises for a term of three years. Mrs. Seavers, her daughter, and two men, who had offered resist ance to the law, were then taken into custody, and conveyed before tke magistrate at the Police-court. Mrs. Seavers and her daughter were first placed at the bar, charged at the instance of Mr. Hammond with filoitinusly removing a large quantity of furniture, &c., from the premises. The prisoners, who gave therr - mimes Catherine and -dfaria Seaver:, were dressed in deep mourning. Frederick Geo. Hammond, Esq., of Notley Park, Kent, deposed that he let the house and furniture to Mr. Seavers for a term of years. He had taken every legal means to get payment ef his rent, and had long suspected the house had been despoiled ef the furniture. He found on entering with the tax-collector that not only furniture and music had been clandestinely removed, but four coppers had been pulled down. The property removed consisted of furniture, a guitar, rugs, curtains, decanters, carpets, a variety of ornaments, Scz.. The police had found 91 duplicates hidden in the garden by the younger prisoner, which ke had no doubt related to most of the missing articles. John White, 180 R, deposed that he found a red bag buried under some loose earth adjoining the summer-house, which he could call a witness to prove had been placed there by Miss Seavers, after pos session had been obtained; it contained 91 duplicates for all kinds of property, pledged at various pawnbrokers, in the name of Thomson. Sergeant Fenn, 31 R, deposed that he apprehended Miss Seavers, who denied all knowledge of the bag and duplicates, or of the pro perty missing. Sergeant Booth, 21 R, deposed that he took Mrs. Seavers into cus tody, and that she denied all knowledge of the missing property. On Mrs. Seavers's person three 51. notes, three sovereigns, and 10s. In silver were found. Police-constable Brooks said he distinctly heard Mrs. Seavers call out that she would pay the Queen's taxes, but the door was then forced. Mrs. Seavers said she held the lease of the . prendses from Morden College for an unexpired term of sixty-two years, and Mr. Ham mond had nothing to do with the house after Saturday (this day). She denied all knowledge of the missing property. Two men had broken in on the 9th instant, and she could not tell what they had done; they were ejected from the premises. Mr. Geovx—The police will hold possession of the premises, as the parties are charged with felony. Denis Collins, who said he is gardener to Mrs. Seavers, and John Manning, a labourer, were charged as being accessories, and resist ing the police in the execution of their duty, by endeavouring to pre , vent an entrance. William Joseph Perkins, a butcher, deposed that he was employed by Mr. Hammond, and accompanied Cozens, the officer, to effect a levy for rent. The male prisoners resisted Violently, assisted by others not in custody, and he was forced into the road. Collins used a poker and threatened his life. Evan Thomas deposed that he saw Miss Seavers go and deposit the bag containing the duplicates close to the summer-house, under some mould, which she scratched with her hand. Mr GROVE said he should remand the prisoners for a few days, in order to afford time for the police to trace the missing property. Ile would, however, take sufficient bail for their appearance. Mr. Hammond pressed for heavy bail, as the property involved In the transaction was of considerable value. Mr. GROVE said he should require the female prisoners to give two responsible sureties in 1001. each respectively, and themselves in 2001. each ; and for the other prisoners 201. each, and themselves in 401. The prisoners, not being prepared with ball, were removed in cus tody of the gaoler, to be sent to Maidstone prison in default. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. — Scarcely week passes without some new addition to the already unequalled collection of scientific inventions which are to be found in the mu seum of this noble institution. The last practical introduction is the illustration of a useful, and at the same time healthful, recreation — viz., the art of swimming, which is daily shown in the tank of water (in which all aquatic experiments are conducted) by a little fellow only eight and a half years of age, whose wonderful feats on the sur face and under water induce one to believe that he belongs to an amphi bious race rather than to mother earth. It is realiy an interesting sight to see this little diver plunge from the top of the diving-bell to the bottom of the water, and bring up articles purposely sunk. Among the articles illustrative of the arts is one to which the atten tion should be directed, as showing that nature may be all but rivalled by art ; we refer to the weaving of hair, and could be scarcely dissuaded from the belief that the artificial head there seen is not of Nature's handiwork. The lectures on chemistry, natural philosophy, and other scientific subjects, are still continued by Dr. Bachhoffner, and his numerous audience seem to be highly delighted by his manner of delivery. Some s_peciments of caligraphy also prove that the arts have an endless field for cultivation, EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—TIVELVE THOUSAND DOL LARSSTOLEN.—The police received information onThursday, of the loss of twelve thousand dollars, besides a number of papers and documents supposed to be of considerable value. Ile property was safe on Monday night on board the brig Vava seur, Captain V. Stronich, from Buenos Ayres, and consigned to Messrs. Rheil and Davis, bullion-merchants, of St. Helen's place. The property for security had been deposited in the captain's cabin, and the vessel was lying off Gravesend on Monday night prior to going into the dock next day. Two men, of the names of Wallis and Probine, together w:th the "41)111-boy ', having absconded, ua auspected the of tobbiay. BIRTHS. On the 25th ult., at Purleigh, Essex, the lady of the Rev.

ASEAULT.—Thomas Lo ey, aged 33, a surgeon, was found guilty of a common assault on the person of Sarah Wiudle, a child of 14 years of age. . _ _ The RECORDER said that the prisoner's profession greatly increased the eyes of the Court the offence which had been proved against him, and the punishment would, in consequence, be proportionably heavy. The sentence was, that he be imprisoned for one year in the Westminster Briclewell, and also to enter into his own recognizance in the suns of lOU to be of good behaviour to all her Majesty's subjects for fiveyears. TllEFT.—Edward Baker, aged 20, a boot-closer, was charged with having stolen a handkerchief and a pair of slippers, the property of his employer, Isaac Harris, Wych-street, Strand. The evidence of the prosecutor and of an apprentice clearly proved the offence. POLAND. EKTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE BANKS OF IVO VISTULA, AUGUST 10.- While en the subject of the last journey of the &Ng." peror Nicholas to Warsaw, the newspapers in the pay . ol • Russia complacently relate all that has occurred as satis factory to the Sovereign, and advantageous to the cou r--4 try, while the Emperor himself, on his return to St- • Petersburgh, has thought it a good policy loudly to pro claim that hi has been highly please:l t h the reception he met with in Poland ; with the spirit prevalent in that country ; and with the prosperity which it enjoys unde r his government. It is now full time to oppose the pro pagation of such idle reports, with the narrative of an, ocular witness, of the real facts relating to the s o j ourn the Autocrat in the capital of unhappy Poland. Let us begin with stating that the present dram' stances of that country would scarcely offer a better op portunity for the exercise of the paternal feelings O f . s overeign. To all the evils which continue to Alb" Poland these fifteen years, to political oppression and re ligious persecution, without a parallel in modern history' a fresh calamity has lately been added. The bad harvest of last year has occasioned a scarcity, and the overflow ing of the rivers at two distinct periods, in the spring and immediately before the harvest, has ravaged every habitation and every field in many a district. The misfortunes have been aggravated and prolonged h the scarcity itself, which prevented the sowi n g of hal'ic the land. As to the potato crop, the principal food of the poor, its deficiency in the autumn raised the price of tha t useful plant so exhorbitautly high, as scarce l y to adatis the possibility of using it for seed, so that , to the appalling effect of present misery, is superadded most; threatening anticipations for the future. In the midst of this awful visitation, the apathy of the authori ties is such that no measures whatever have been re; sorted to in the least adapted to diminish t he dreadfu l consequences which it forbodh i . This is not all; the Cvi Governor of Sandomir, foreseeing the result of the bd' ness of the harvest, thought himself bound to call the at: tention of the Government to the subject , and statedthn" unless energetic measures were resorted to, a fs e was inevitable. In answer to his remarks , he was d_riot., missed his office :as the propagator of a false alarm. - 111. foresight, however, has been fully vindicated from the beginning of winter, one of the most severe ever re" membered. The absolute want of food was most cruel l y felt in the spring, has ever since gradually increased, an is now at its climax. It is more particularly in the ancient palatinates di Sandomir, Plock, Lublin, Augnstow, as well in part of the the palatinate of Cracovia, that the famine and a l. - evils in its train have been the mist felt. I n those uni fortunate provinces, entire masses of people , deprived ?„ every necessary, wander about the country, divided in bands, bands, in search of the most loathsome food, %shit a oftener more adapted to soothe their hunger than to of ble nourishment. Numberless diseases, the unavoidaber consequence of destitution rapidly diminish the nu i n!,,e of these unfortunate men, and despair sometimes co l " 1, them to acts of violence which the authorities are not way A s able to repress .t the sight of so much misery, who could remain " l a moved ? What hatred, b 3 it ever so implacable, eego, avoid relenting ? Yet the Emperor has rema i n ed 1 different. He has seen nothing or he would see nethiti3; and he has not even inquired into the causes o f calamity or thought of any remedies by which it t ril ' or • be alleviated. All his time at Warsaw has bee c f o grossed by military pomp and parade. H e repeat° we visited the citadel, as if to convince himself with and he ghe eyes that it is in a good posture of defence ; iv ith trayed, in this respect, some of the anxi et y usual the one who examines his weapon on the e ve of usiAfor same. Ire also made several trips to Georgiee"- `old manly Modlin), situate a few miles from W arsaw, re st destined to check the country all around. of his time the Emperor passed in reviews, rot tary exercises, and ceremonial levees. But of wrong. He also paid a visit to the studentsor Warsaw, on the following occasion. Ono day, th e or peror, perambulating the streets of Warsa w in his no nage, fell in with two students, who negl ected to gor ver their heads in his presence. He immediately{ dered his coachman to overtake them, and be asked them if they did not know who he was. ,_'„",,tlf. them having answered, " No„ my General," be aura r retorted, " What, then, not know your terror*Severe This apostrophe struck the two young men with th er while his Majesty added, " Look at me well, that eu e ror ; time you may not forget the person of your EreP e n to but I shall take care, besides, to make myself low w ieea all the students." Next morning all, the schools reeeeieue an order to appear before his Majesty, with due, s The nity, their gove , :nors and professors at their heati . „i r ieg Emperor walked slowly through their ranks, lot h the of Marshal Paskewicz whether he was satisfied students of Warsaw. The Marshal, always on his . i.bst and knowing well his master, cautiously replied , et st he nas not quite satisfied." The Emperor then e a bis frowning look over the poor students, and fast el , l , o o4 ye upon one of them, unfortunately a plaial: o ite , youth, whom he pointed out with his fingers to hl;ol.da, saying, " Mark, what mouth, what snout (7 0 :',, a lien; literally a vulgar and contemptuous expression, I le ol hie to l a y pig) —I will a w tnih a td g eh e i r as that he is a wretch. ca ea hap any crimes." The unhappy student thus deser_reopcllo pened precisely to be remarkable for his got' ur ea o' who is at the head of ► to aw ,:1:1 1%( 1 1 : e s la pPe a rr ni fit w heliee thought nfacct; te and told him to hold his tongue, it to ,_ ter re peror, but his Majesty reb u ked in d e vent to his angry him 1110011 g in a lecture ' to t" - stll ee- P in tone and spirit very similar to his celebrate- 4, 0‘; bestowed on the municipality of Warsaw. On t`l u dee h casion he closed his paternal admonition to the st feeling counselloro d u nu b t gt h l yui the e o professoriwn repentho t f i eu s tc state, ,ie t o e 0: l e 3:S t t t ; v b . i n vo ! with the exhortation that they were henceforiv.poti behave in such a manner as to deserve the good 01 )1 0 ,ise the Marshal, as otherwise he would close their oho distribute the students without distinction among.," sr ferent regiments, where they would be oblige as common soldiers and recruits. It is not d i r s pee e imagine the consternation which this itnperlio . 41 .0 has spread in every Polish family. e 'no' Another incident which happened during th ti of the Emperor at Warsaw also deserves no ge b le O r e neral Tolstoj returning from parade, pa ssed ins met riage through Willow-street (Ulica Wierabna)!,o to the great square of Saxony, where all re the g o o d held.
