EVENING EDITION• R. HENRY GRATTAN AND LORD BROUGHAM. No. 1. Reform Club, June 1, 1839. 1 . LORD—I see in the Morning Chronicle news a reported speech of your Lordship last night. 'tour Lordship is there represented as having alluded to me, and as having used expressioth which no gentle man can permit to be applied to him. • I therefore hope your Lordship' will explain this cir etrnstance, and that you•will be so good as to remove from my mind the impres';ion which these offensive terms " of falsehood and slander" must naturally occasion. I have the honour to be, Your Lordship's very humble servant, HENRY GRATTAN. To Lard Brougham,.&e. &c. No. 2. Ler..l Brougham presents his compliments to Mr. H. Grattan, and &though be could give him such an answerlto this inquiry as ought to prove satisfactory to Mr. Grattan, yet, as the mitter passed in Parliament, an.l as lie is unwilling to adopt any course which might injure the freeslom of debate, he must defer answering his letter until he has bad an opportunity of consulting a friend, who is also a Peer, and whom, owing to his absence from town, he cannot see before to-morrow warning. Gratton-street, Saturday. No. 3. Sin—While I protest dsistinctly against being held n-;werable to any person out of the House to which I b ong for anything said or done by me in that House of l'Aliament, I am ° disposed to answer your letter by the respect which I have ever borne towards your family, .04 which you are aware I do not now for the first time profess. When I shall have stated the the passage in your . eh at the late Dublin meeting to which alone I re ferred in my statements on Friday last, and which I be lieved to have been spoken by you, because it was cited by another speaker with approbation in your presence, whhout any correction from yourself, you wilt at once recive that the offensive words mentioned in your 'eller could not 'hare been applied to your nvectives, n rtever other comments they might justly occasion. I _note from the newspaper supposed to be in the interest f your party (the Dublin Weekly Register), but I first s?.w the speech in another The people and their sovereign have triumphed over 1. 7 e base, the lying, the tyrannical faction, for whom no fl.l , .ehood is too great. They are abusing and calum ,:; ,:ing every loyal and respectable man ; and they are a and calumniating the people, the priesthood, and t; , ir religon ; and yet the liars would tell you that they - , re the advocates of Liberal principles. But their false nod and hypocrisy have been exposed—we have con - ended their knavish tricks, and covered them with shame and confusion." " I tell you more, that if her Majesty was once fairly paced in the hands of the Tories, I would not give an Orange Peel for her life." " If some of the low miscreants of the party got round lit e Majesty, and had the mixing of a bowl at night, I f-ar she would have a long sleep." To say that Tory Ladies of the Bedchamber would ,oannit treason and murder the Queen may be very senseless and very uncharitable ; but it could never, with any propriety of language, be called a falsehood, or even a slander. Accordingly, the only two persons pre sent, one of them of a countryman of your own, and a Mend of your family, whom I have spoken to on the subject, are quite clear in their recollection that I never applied to your speech the words mhich you say have naturally given you pain. The newspapers which k have seen &so coincide wi th their recollection. But I must add that the comments which I did make upon your speech, though not such as to justify any personal call from you upon me, were such as might very possibly have given you pain. lam sorry for it —and I expressed at the time the uneasiness which I frit in being compelled by a sense of duty and of justice t 9 make those remarks. However strong, they were nit stronger than the universal feeling of the audience nt along with. But I expressly ascribed your con duct to the feelings of party zeal and violent excite ment under which you laboured. Your great unwillingness to have language applied to yourself so incomparably less offensive than you.are re ,resented to have used with respect to others, makes me entertain some hope that, contrary to all probability, I may have been misinformed by an incorrect report of your speech. I have of course no kind of right to ask )ou any question ; but I may, perhaps, be pardoned if I add that nothing would give me more sincere gratifica von than to be told by you that this conjecture is well founded ; and I should not fail to state in my place my satisfaction at having been undeceived. - I have the honour to be, Your obedient humble: servant, BROUGHAM. To 11. Grattan, Esq., M.P., &c. &c. No. 4. Reform Club, Sunday Night, June 2. 1839. MY LORD,—As your Lordship has declared that ou did not apply to me the offensive terms !‘,falsehood and slender, and as you state that " you are sorry" thatotber comments made by your " Lordship gave me pain," I do not hesitate to say that is all I could have asked or desired. With respect to the extracts from a reported speech of mine which are stated in your Lordship's letter, and with respect to the suggestion which your letter appears to convey::=that I should explain to your Lordship wligt I spcke on the occasion referred—l think it 1-ir.t to say, that while I do not admit the .-.curacy of those .extracts, and that I disclaim the .c0,.r, - e expressions contained in them—while I conceive the imputation most unwarrantable—that I intended t at v,hich is not expressed in any of those extracts— ;.arnely, to attribute to Tory Ladies of the Bedchamber a design to cAnalit treason and murder ; while, too, I freely acknowledge that every speech of mine is open to public criticism, and that every report of it exp6ses me to the animadversion of those to whom ii may be s:ipposed to apply,-1 nevertheless must decline to enter into further correspondence or auy explanation With your Lordship, to whom in that speech I .never nee alluded. I haw the honour to be, Your Lordship's very obedient, humble servant, HENRY> &RATTAN. 'ru Lord Brougham, &c., &c. Grafton-street, Monday. St:.—l have only now had the honour of receiving le!tcr of last night's date, it having been only now You b pleased to observe, that I do not deny ving us:d the words on my own recollection—because, though a person may b, - ! sure of what he intended to y, Ile never can be certain of what worth he did use debate. I thereforo referred to the context, and to the recollection of others, as well as to a report in a ‘741: , 1y circulated paper, r2rnarkahle for the good ! , ss of it:; Parliamentary reports. This reference I ,on ;dere.l more 6;l6i:factory than any recollection of my You seem to think that you did not intend to allude 0 Tory s (Ache Bedchamber, because, you did not. yuumdf so, m oue of the passages which I cited voor'sp , ech. But to whom else could they possibly ro.c.i.,t to apply. The question raised by Sir Robert 1 ) .:j, to which on were referring, was confined to them I nc:w tl.ink it due to you that I should add the words tl:e i , reentait's 1-urithl—the paper in which I men• etl i <virn read them—and to which I alluded in my letter, though I had not them by me. I agaia-dis right to 'ask you any. question respecting your reel', and I never had done so except in order to have opportunity—much dcsirel .by me—of stating that you never had made the speech on which I felt it my duty to corona-mt. I have the honour to be, &c. BROUGHAM. [Here Mowed an extract with the coarse expressions that Mr. Grattan had denied having used]. MEETING OF' MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday there was a full attendance of the Magis trates At the Sessions House Clerkenwell; Mr. Sergeant Adams in the Chair. • _ _ Upon the motion of Mr. WILKS, the amended Prison 13,11 was referred to the Special Committee appointed on the 21st of February to watch and report to the Court the Bills introduced into Parliament that would affect the in terests of the county. It was next moved that " The report of the Committee erficanunts, and for general purposes, be received." The Report of the Visiting Magistrates of the House of CJrrection was read. A special Report from the Governor of the House of Correct i rn was next read. A motion that it be printed for distribution, and for warded to Lord John Russell, was carried unanimously. The Report of Clerkenwell Prison was received. Mr. Tutx moved that a sum, not exceeding 8201., be raised, by mortgage of the county rate, for the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum, which, having been seconded, was carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS mentioned that there was a memo rial on this subject from the parish of Marylebone, which Mr. Edmonds, the deputy Clerk of the Peace, read. Mr. RAWLINSON, in the course of a stormy discussion, said he apprehended that they were not a Court of Jus tice, but that they were assembled there for the purpose of •zondlietingApg6ol affairs of the county ; and if any per son wished ticl+Varialain of their conduct he bad a right to be heard.—( Hear.) He would, therefore, move that one of the deputation be heard. Virtmcs said he had no objection to the greatest pub licity being given to their reports, bat they had already been sent to the proper officers of the parish to which the d-putation belonged, and it was for them to apply to him for the information the) required.—( Hear, hear.) If they entertained the metro-jai, It might be inferred that some thing had been . kept back, and, thereforet he would move tl4it do lie on the table.—(H ear.) 1 3 , arnendmea was, put, and carried by a majority of 17 to 3. r ti---Tec-o—unty of Water- Air. Power, Member fo ord, has paired for the Session with Mr. Kirk. The Sandwich Tories dined together on Tues day to meet their new condidate, a Mr. Bud worth, who intends, he says, to come forward for any vacancy there in place of Mr. Grove Price. One of the most gratifying symptoms of the proceedings was, that not one clergyman of any description countenanced the proceedings by his presence. . ~ SERGEANT'S INN.—/-1. splend id Banquet was given on Thursday by the Society of Judges and Ser geants on the opening of their New Hall, at Sergeant's Inn. EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION.—An inquiry took place on Tuesday before Mr. Wakley, at the Crown, in Thorney-street, Bloomsbury, as to the circumstances at tending the death of James John Fraser, Esq., -ged forty two, writer to the signet in Edinburgh, who on Monday morning jumped out of his bed-room window, and thereby broke all the ribs on his right side and died. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Walker, a surgeon, in whose house the deceased lodged, that Mr. Fraser was insane, and that on Saturday he was in a more than ordinary degree of excitement, so much so that it was deemed necessary to commit him to the care of Dr. Tooke of Chiswick. Mr. Walker described the unfortunate gentleman's delusions as most extraordinary. He said, on his return from every company he was in, that he had seen a nice young girl of sixteen, and was going to be married to her. On other occasions he has taken an old woman of sixty or seventy years or age to the theatre, and offered her marriage. He was afraid also that every one had a criminal warrant against him. On Saturday week he left my house with out saying a word. I knowing he had received six or seven hundred pounds, and he being largely in my debt, had previously asked him for some money, and he replied that he had not a shilling about him. On Saturday eve ning last, between six and seven, he came home in a flan nel jacket, and said, " You see I am a true YorkshEre man ; I am going to play Liston at Madame Vestris's the atre, and I want you and your brother to come and see me." MR. WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD AND THE EDINBURGH CHARTISTS..-Mr. Aytoun has received a letter from Mr. Sharman Crawford, declining the invita tion of the Chartists to become a candidate for the city of Edinburgh :—" I fear (says he) that ray principles would not be acceptable to the largest portion of those electors on whom the franchise is at present conferred in your city and I feel that I should be departing from the honest course which has received the sanction of your approval were I to promote a contest for my return, which I did not think likely by a successful result to forward the great cause of your political rights." He declares himself favourable to Universal Suffrage; but at the same time considers it to be " the duty of every judicious advocate to accede to such modifications of the details as will consolidate in their support the great mass of honest Reformers. Holding this 'opinion, he has observed (he says) with the deepest regret the proceedings of those bodies of Reformers who, by put ting forward the prine'ple of physical force as the means of effecting the objects they demand, had impeded the formation of that moral power arising from the united voice of the great body of the nation, which alone can carry , or ought to carry, any important changes in the C o nstitution." _Scotsman. LAMENTAB LE OCCURRENCE ON THE THAMES—THREE LIVES LOST.—On T hursda y afternoon a very shucking occurrence took place on the river, near Battersea-bridge, by which we regret to say three lives were lost. It appears from inquiry that on the morning of the day above mentioned, John Graham, a Scotch bag. piper, who has for many years been known in the metro polis, his wife and daughter, a girl of about ten years of age, went from Lyons', at Stangate, in a boat, for the pur pose of having an excursion to Battersea; on their arrival at Battersea they went to the White Hart Inn, where they had refreshments, pat taking of more drink t Wan d them good. On th e i r return d ow n the river, offWandsworth Meadows, the boat upset, precipitating Graham, his wife, daughter, and a y o u n g man named Hutchings, who accom panied them on th e excurs ion, into the water. Their cries brought several boats from the shore to their assistance, but lamentable to say, notwithstanding every exertion was used, Graham, his wife, and daughter perished ; Hutch. ings was picked up in a state of exha ustion, having clung for some time t o the keel of the boat. Yesterday morni n c, the bodies of G ra h am an d his wife were p icked u p off the Horseferry. The child is not yet found. 'The cause of the calamity has not been ascertained. An inquest is ap. pointed to be held on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers this day. . DEFEAT OF TH E BIGOTS. --A meeting in favour of th e Mi n i ster i a l p l a n of Nationa l Education ' took place on M on d ay even i ng a t Shoreham , and we have t o record the t r i um ph o f t h e Liberal party here over clerical the more gr a tif y i ng as i t w as obtained ag ainst the unit e d bigotry, and political spite. This triul and Tory R. - array of all those who could be beguiled, persuaded, threatened, or forced to join certain functionaries in their opposition to the system of National Education announced by her Majesty's Government. The whole establishment of the Custom -house was present, from the chief to the lockers and boatmen ; the pilots also were brought up to swell the ranks of intolerance and- to join the gentlemen of the Revenue Establishment in voting against a measure recommended by the Qtr-en and advocated by her Minis ters. Is this a proceeding these public servants would like to ha ve reg i stere d i n a statement fo r the inspection of the Treasury ?

The Pilot of to-day publishes a requisition fL om Queen's County to address her Majesty. Though the requisition includes the rank and intelligence of the county, the High Sheriff, it seems, would not'. call a meeting. Our Contemporary observes that he refused "-fora reason which it had beervmore creditable to his dm doicrhad he confined himself to giving—his disinclination towards the Liberal Queen and fealty to his Lord of Hanover. We trust such incidents will cure the Go vernment at last of being intimidated to appointing the minions of their enemies. They bring by it treason within their camp, without propitiating any without." TIIE LATE THUNDER Sroam.--The storm of Fri day night and Saturday morning is represented as hav ing been more extended in its visitation, and, in some places more terrific in its effects, than any experienced for several years. In Youghal the thunder and lightning were appallingly loud and vivid, and con tinued in rapid succession from ten to two o'clock in the morning. The respectable family of James Swayne, Esq., of the North Main-street had a very narrow escape from destruction. When at the height of its fury, when peal followed peal in loud and rapid succession, the gable end of Mr. Swayne's house was struck by the electric fluid, and instantly the shock ex tended its effects, more ,or less, through the entire house. In the bed-chamber where Mr. and Mrs. Swayne slept, a loud explosion took place, most provi dentially cawing no further injury to the inmates than the terror natural to be felt at such a moment. The bell-wire was dissolved, the marble chimney-pieces of two rooms were shattered to pieces, glass was broken, and much injury sustained throughout the house. The storm was also severely felt in Waterford, Lime rick, &c. THE WEATHER.—Every account from the country this morning concurs in describing the effects of the late rains as being really surprising. Our London, Liver pool, and Manchester letters do not notice the fall of any rain, so that we therefore conclude Ireland alone has been blessed with the late beneficial showers. — Pilot. THE QUEEN DOWAGER—THE CGRPORATION OF DUBLIN.—The perusal of the following paragraph from the Mail, will excite a smile ; it presents a lively pic ture of the chop-fallen tits, and corporate corruptionists of Dublin. " The Lord Mayor of Dublin, (so runs the representation) adhering to the principles of loyally (!!) the profession of which he made poeparatory to—and upon which he has acted in the most meritorious man man, since his accession to office, had, upon a highly respectable requisition presented for that purpose— actually issued summonses for a meeting of the Corpo ration, with a view of presenting an address of con gratulation to the Queen Dowager on her return to England, similar to that intended in London. Finding, however, the disinclination of her Majesty, and fully appreciating the high and honourable motives which led to the letter, signed by Lord Howe, and written by her Majesty's command—the Lord Mayor this day had a meeting of the Requisitionists, when it was unanimously resolved that the idea of presenting an address, should, at least for the present, be abandoned." MT. O ' CONNELL—THE PRECURSOR SOCIETY.—The Rev. Terence J. Donoghue, in a letter from Philadelphia, addressed to Mr. O'Connell, says,—" Desirous to aid in the efforts you are making to obtain justice for Ireland, I have applied to a few friends who readily unite with me to become members of the Precursor Society, and provide for the formation of a branch society in this country. " With that view we enclose a bill of exchange for 501., and request you will order the Secretary to send me one thousand tickets by the return of the Liverpool steamer, if possible. Should Mr. Ray send an additional thousand, I think members will be found to fill up the number." EDUCATION. A copy of the ORDER in COUNCIL, appointing a COMMITTEE of COUNCIL to superintend the application of any sums voted by Parliament for the purpose of promoting PUBLIC EDUCATION. At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 10th day of April, 1839, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. It is this day ordered by her Majesty in Council, that the Most Noble Henry Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord President of the Council : the Right Honourable John William Viscount Duncannon, Lord Privy Seal ; the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State ; and the Right Honourable Thomas Spring Rice, Chancellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, be, and they are hereby appointed a Committee to superinte d the application of any sums voted by Parliament for the purpose of promoting public education. (Signed) C. C. GREVILLE. A COPY of the REPORT of the COMMITTEE, of COUNCIL appointed to superintend the appli cation of any sums voted by Parliament for the pur pose of promoting PUBLIC EDUCATION, of the 3d day of this instant June. At the Court at Buckingham Palace, 3d of June, 1839. Present, The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas there was this day read at the Board a Re port from the Committee of Council appointed to superintend the application of any sums voted by Par liament for the purpose of promoting public education ; which report doted the Ist of June, was in the words following ; viz. " Your Majesty having been. pleased, by your Order in Council of the 10th April, 1839, to appoint -us a Committee of Council to superinted the application of any sums voted by Parliament for the purpose of pro 7 meting public education, we, the Lords of the said Committee, have this day met, and agreed humbly to present to your Majesty the following Report : ".The Lords of the Committee recommend that the sum of Ten Thousand Pounds, granted by Parliament in 1835 towards the erection of normal or model schools, be given in equal proportions to the National Society and the British and Foreign School Society. That the remainder of the subsequent grants of the years 1837 and 1838, yet unappropriated, and any grant that may be voted in the present year, be chiefly applied in aid of subscriptions for building, and, in par ticular cases, for the support of schools connected with those Societies ; but. that the rule hitherto adopted of making a grant to those places where the largest pro portion is subscribed be not invariably adhered to, should application he made from very poor and populous districts, where subscriptions to a sufficient amount cannot be obtained. " The Committee do not feel themselves precluded from snaking grants in particular cases, which shall appear to them to call for the aid of Government, although the applications may not come from either of the two mentioned Societies. " The Committee are of opinion, that the most useful application ofany sums voted by Parliament would consist in the employment of those monies in the establishment of a normal school, under the direction of the State, and not placed under the management of a voluntary Society. The Committee, however, experience so much difficulty in reconciling conflicting views respecting the provisions which they are desirous to make in further ance of your Majesty's wish, that the children and teachers instructed in this school should be duly trained in the principles of the Christian religion, while the rights of conscience should he respected, that it is not in the power of the Committee to mature a plan for the accomplishment of this design without further con sideration ; and they therefore postpone taking any steps for this purpose until greater concurrence of opinion is found to prevail. " The Committee recommend that no further grant be. made, now or hereafter, for the establishment or support of normal schools, or of any other schools, unless tlie•right of inspection be retained, in order to secure a conformity to the regulations and discipline established in the several schools, with such improve ments as may from time to time be suggested by the Committee. " A part of any grant voted in the present year may be usefully applied to the purposes of inspection, and to the means of acquiring a complete knowledge of the present state of education in England and Wales." Her Majesty, having taken the said Report into con sideration, was pleased, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, to approve thereof. (Signed) C. C. GREVILLE. HANOVER. The Hanoverian Gazette of the Ist of June says nothing of the meeting of the Second Chamber, and it may there fore br, taken for granted, that no meeting has as yet taken place. It appears from the information that we have re ceived from various quarters, that on the 28th there will be 33 th.pgties present ; on the 29th, 34 (one of those who at tendedon the preceding day was wanted) ; and on the 30th, 35. Our letter from Hanover received to-day say that the Second Chamber was still incomplete on the 31st of May, and June 1, but that only one member was wanting. HANOVER, JUNE 1..1t is probable that the second Chamber will not be induced to do any thing more than to prolong the Budget of that year, some Members having already given it as their opinion that it is impossible to adept any important measure with the Chamber, which is far from possessing the confidence of the people. It is therefore believed that even the examination of the validity of the electors will not take place, and that the first day on which the Chamber shall have a different number of Members present, will be made use of to prolong the Bud getof last year. HANOVER, JUNE I.—The electors of this city are summoned to meet again to-morrow to proceed to the elec tion of a deputy to the Second Chamber. There is no doubt-of the result.—Hamburg Papers. THE MARQUIS OF TWEEDDALE'S 1 THE MURDER IN PRINCES- STREET DRAIN TILE MACHINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ADJOURNS?_ INQUEST. SIR,—A paragraph appeared in The Sun of to-day, under the above title, taken from the Farmer's Maga zine, evidently written in a style of extravagant eulo gium of the wonderful work in the way of making drain tiles, which this tnachine, called the" Marquis of Tweed dale'? (though the invention can be proved not to be his at all), is said to perform—showing forth, moreover, the great advantages it gives in expense, time, and trouble, over the old manual mode of making tiles, &c. The inquest en the body of Mr. Westwood was resumed yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, in the Chapel of St. James's workhouse. The greatest excitement continues to prevail in the immediate neighbourhood. Mr. De Courcey, who lives next door to'the deceascd, and who is one of the Jury, said that Stevenson called upon him on Thursday, and offered to give up the key. He promised to attend the inquest this morning. Alfred Bannister - said he lived at No. 20. Euston-street, Seymour-street, and is a watchmaker. On the night of the murder be saw deceased. Deceased went out between 5 and 6 o'clock, and returned shortly before 8. Witness soon after left. There was no mischievous looking person called at the shop of Mr. Westwood that evening. When he left, the workshop was secure. He knows nothing of the lead weight which was found. It is a sash weight. Near the staircase there is a trap-door, which leads to a cellar. Le Roche, the foreman, once lodged with the de ceased, but he left in consequence of the unhealthiness of the situation. The deceased and Le Reche had had some angry words on account of the latter coming late to his work. Le Reche was not at deceased's all day on Monday. Deceased generally closed his shop about nine o'clock. When witness left on Monday night, deceased wished him good night ; he was then sitting in the parlour with his wife and another lady. Mr. Henry Berestord said he was a police inspector, C division. He was here the other evening and saw the man Robinson. On that evening he went with Robinson into his mother's house, No. 30, Crown street, Soho. Robin son produced the coats which he wore on Monday night. Witness examined them minutely, and there was not the Now, Mr. Editor, as I happen to come from East Lothian, where practical experience to a greater extent than anywhere else has been had of it in many of the most extensive brick and tile works there, I beg, with your permission, to make the following statements re garding it, from my own personal knowledge of it, which you and your readers may rely upon as unexagge rated and strictly true. The idea of a tile and brick making machine is excellent and perfectly practicable— but the said Marquis's is by far too complicated—so much so, that the " wear and tear" of it, and current expenses for endless canvasses, &c. &c., besides the ori ginal cost, 701., overcomes mightily its advantages. Were there a tile machine on a simple never-go-wrong, or not-likely.to-go-wrong principle, then would we have cause to flourish away in its praise ; but whenever the silence of practical men reigns on any machine, while the extravagant bombast of theoretical and hearsay men sounds, then, Mr. Editor, that is a bad sign of the ma chine itself—and in the• Marquis's tile affair we have a case to the point. The new patentee, too, of the above machine charges (instead of a decided sum) 3s. a thousand on what the machine makes. Now, I could mention a gentleman in East Lothian, who has - them made by hand for 3s. 10d.! Only tenpence of difference thus between the machine and the hand as regards cost ! Not to speak of the expenses of steam-engines to drive this machine and the machine itself, most people, it is well known, will sacrifice time and trouble (but the trouble of the Marquis's machine is much greater than the hand, and more men and boys required, too, than what is stated in the paragraph alluded to) to the all-impor tant point of current cost and " original cost." These are the facts deduced from experience, let theoretical and hearsay statements be trusted by who may. There is no stronger advocate for the employing of machinery to do what is now done by the hand than I happen to be, but I am not foolish enough to consider any machine " a great advantage" before it can be clearly shown that it saves not only time and trouble, but actual outlay, whether primary, secondary, or current. There are many better tile machines than the one the Marquis of Tweeddale takes the credit of, were they put in practice. I am, Sir, your's, respectfully, A MECHANICAL PRACTICAL MAN. London, June 6,1839. least mark or appearance upon either of them. Robinson gave no reason why the coat and shirt. were at his mother's house. Witness afterwards went to Robinson's own lodgings, No. 27, Crown -street. He closely examined the room, and the drawers and boxes in it, but not the least mark of a suspicious kind could be found. The statement made by Robinson was read by the Co roner. He stated that on Monday evening up to eleven o'clock he was in John-street, and that when he passed de ceased's house he saw smoke issue out of the passage. George Paul, the next witness, who was passing Prince's-street at the time, stated he heard a call for the police, and entered the house, and having assisted in ex tinguishing the fire, he saw the body lying on the floor. The old woman said she knew her husband was murdered, because she heard him groan. William Stevenson, 39, Vauxhall-road, said that he had a statement to make as he had been called in question. On Tuesday week he saw deceased several times. He called at his shop to pay an account, when some conversa tion took place respecting a key of the deceased's front door, which bad been in his possession since the time he and his wife lodged with the deceased. The key was now in his possession. Witness and his wife were now living apart in consequence of some quarrel. Two young men called at deceased's to see witness's sister—to pay their addresses to her. She lived with a man named Daniels, a clerk to one of the Railway Companies. Daniels was one of the persons who called to see him. The other - person was named Smith, and lived in the Hampstead-road, but he could not exactly say where. This witness was closely questioned by the Jury, but nothing that threw any further light on the affair was elicited. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.) Sarah Stevenson, wife of the last witness, said she was not aware until last Saturday that the key of the deceased's house had not been returned to him. Her husband took away the furniture when they left Mr. Westwood's, Wit ness only had a few knives and clothes. She never had the key to any room. The key was found in the basket containing the knives. She is now living with her mother. This witness was also very closely questioned by the Jury, respecting the sister and the gentleman who called to see her at deceased's house. After some evidence of no importance from the mother of the last witness and James Poore, of Wardour-street, The CORONER said that the lock had been taken off and examined by a locksmith, and that be said it had not been picked, but had been opened by the proper key. Charles L. Le Roche said, no persons who were present at the fire could have committed the robbery. The shop was locked, and if the property had been taken at the fire, the shop would have been in confusion. As it was, how ever, everything was in order, and there was no appear ance of any robbery having been committed. Tho amount of property stolen would be, on a rough guess, 2,0001. The property must have been taken by some one well acquainted with the value, All the best watches had been taken out of the trays. In the last tray three of the best watches were left, so that it would appear that when the robber reached that tray he bad been interrupted. About three weeks .ago there was a aus picious-looking person hanging about the shop. When watches are stolen, the usual plan is to erase the name, and send them to Holland, where they -can be readily disposed of, Witness had no doubt that the robbery was committed by some person connected with the trade. No person had been in the habit of visiting Mr. Westwood's servant. The robber could not have passed through the shop-door; he must have entered through the rooms and passages through the house. There several entries into the little room ad joining the shop. Any person could easily have entered the house by means of a false key, when the servant went in the - evening for beer-; and he might, without difficulty, have concealed himself. The strong-box could not be o,ened; it had a secret spring. Mr. Westwood did not like the appearance of Mrs. Stevenson and her sister ; they came in lute at night, and had many followers. Mr. Peake, coach builder, Lisle-street, said that on Tuesday morning last, about half-past twelv e, be was roused out of Vis bed by a policeman calling " Get up and come down immediately—Mr. Westwood is murdered." Wi:npss immediately got up and went down to Mr. Wcst. wood's. He has been a friend of the family thirty-five years. When he went into the house, he saw Mr. West wood "lying on the floor. He saw the middle shop door open, and the key in it. He locked the door and put the key into his pocket. A key was in the desk in the parlour —he locked it. He first thought that no property had been stolen. He went up stairs to console his old friend Mrs. Westwood. He found her in a most lamentable, si tuation. Another friend of the family came to the house in the evening, and he and witness esamined the shop. They found the watches missing ; he believes there were 87, besides other property. The key of the shop was now in his possession. The foreman ascertained the watches which were missing from his books. He has not the slightest suspicion of any person. He met Mr. Westwood on Friday. Mr. Westwood appeared to place implicit confidence in Le Reche. Mr. Markham Brown, Hinde-street, Manchester-square, said that on Saturday a person called to receive a bill of 21. 6a. due .to Mr. Westwood. Witness expressed his surprise that Mr. Westwood had not sent in the bill before. He then said that Mr. Westwood had a gold watch to repair, and that if he would send it home or. Monday morning, between ten and eleven, he would pay the bill. He thinks, to the best 'of his belief, that Le Roche, the foreman, is the man who called upon him, but cannot swear positively. When witness mentioned the gold watch, the person who called seemed surprised and embarrassed, but did not call again on Monday. swearson who challed certainty. to re Mr. Brown's two clerks were then called, and said that c t h e believedi v y etb e bi l Le bu Recite they ye could was not epter with One of the clerks knows Le Reche's brother, who is clerk to a solicitor. It certainly was not he who called. M. Gerard, the French gentleman lodging in the house of the deceased, said that on Monday night he came home about eleven o'clock. He went to bed. About twelve o'clock Mrs. Westwood came into his room and requested lihe to go down stairs. He did so, and found the smoke eery strong'. When he entered the house the servant put up the chain on the street-door. George Gattergood, 6, Meard's- street, Dean-street, Soho, bricklayer, said that between nine and tea o'clock on Tuesday morning, he went into a public-house at the cor ner of Rupert-sLreet. Whilst he was there a female came in for iOlllO gin, and said that she %Lis the servant of Mr. Westwood. She said that on the night before she was at the house twice. Adjourned until two o'clock . When the j ur y a g ain met Mr. Le Reche, brother to the deceased's foreman, said that he had been authorised by the deceased to collect for him a number of bad debts, and he had called upon Mr. Brown, the solicitor, of 1111de-street, for the sum of 21.65. due to the deceased. The CORONER said it was satisfactory that the identity of the person who had called upon Mr. Brown had been fully proved. The Court was cleared of strangers, and after the lapse of, twenty minutes;the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown," with the addition that the Coroner should write to the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, requesting his Lordship to offer a reward fo r the a pp rehension of the per etrators of the horrid deed.

ARMING OF THE RICH AGAINST THE POOR. TO THE EARL OF DERBY, LORD.-LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY PALATINE OF. LANCASTER, &C. &C. MT LORD—I am instructed to apply to your Lordship, as Lord Lieutenant of the County of Lancaster, on behalf of the Salford Radical Association, for a proper supply of necessary arms for the protection of life and property, as recommended by Lord John Russell, in vari •us circulars addressed to the Lords Lieutenant of the counties. I have taken care to ascertain with accuracy the precise number of members in the Association able to bear arms, with their names and residences"' I beg respectfully to request that your Lordship will have the kindness to send arms for the use of 1,200 members of the Association. All of them may be safely trusted with their use. I am, your Lordship's obedient servant, JABEZ BARROWCLOUGH, Hon. Sec. Radical Association Rooms, Salford, May 18, 1839. COPY OF HIS LORDSHIP'S REPLY. PRESCOT, MAT 16, 1839. SIR-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt, by this day's post, of a letter signed with your name, and re quiring me, as Lord Lieutenant of the County, to send arms for the use of 1,200 members of an association called the Salford Radical Association, to which the writer of the letter states himself to be Honorary Secretary. In reply to this demand, I desire to observe that I have no such arms to send, nor any power to send them, if they were in my possession, and I must also add that, if they were at my immediate disposal I could not feel myself at liberty, cr authorised by any of the cir cular letters from the Home-office to • which allusion has been made, to deliver them up upon any such re quisition as that now made to me by a person wholly un known to me either personally or by character, arid on behalf of a body formed, I know not when or by what authority, or for what object, and of which I was not aware of its existence until the present application was made ; I shall, however, think it my duty to lay the appli cation before the Secretary of State for the 'lonic Depart ment, together with my reason as above fur thus disagree ing to the request, as I am perfectly convinced that his Lordship's recent letters have been most completely mis understood by the parties; and his Lordship will then form his own resolution upon the subject. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient, humble servant, DERBY. To Jabez Barrowelough, Esq., Salford. THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1539. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
