a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Young, and he was forthwith committed to take his trial.— Abridged from the _Essex Herald of this day. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY._Noc•. 19. The LORD.CHANCJILLOR sat to-day, shortly after ten o'clock. THE ATTORNEY-OW.SIMA'. V. POTTHR: The LORD-CIIANCHLLOR gave judgment in this case, which came before his Lordship some time since on exceptions. His Lordship allowed the exceptions. EX-PARTS VAN SAXDAU. His LORDSHIP said that, in the case of Mr. Van Sandau, which was before him on Saturday, he had stated, after mentioning the several precedents that bad been referred to, that he would not take upon himself to decide that the order which had been pro nounced was valid, bemuse the subject was under further inquiry in a court of law. Ilis Lordship had also stated that his decision was final. Now he ought further to have stated that the judgment he was gibing was upon an ordinary petition, and not a special case for the decision of the Court of Review. His Lordship believed that, by the 37th section of the Bankrupt Act, no judgment of the Court of Review could be questioned in the House of Lords except upon a special case. It was true he might have sent the matter to the Vice- Chancellor, in order that he might direct a special case for the opinion of the Court, but he did not think it neces sary. He had mentioned this case in consequence of Some misrepresentations that had gone forth : he had said nothing disrespectful to the Learned Judge ; that was the last thing he would do, because he had for him the most special regard. ?HZ DUPE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST—THE PIC TURE OF THE GREAT DUKE OF SCHOMBERG. Mr. BETHELL replied at some length today in this case, the facts of which we have already given. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 19. (Before Sir J. K. Baucm.) CUMING V. THROWER. The question in this case was the liability of 'a trustee to make good certain sums which had been dissipated by an alleged abuse of trust on the part of his co -trustee. His Honour had, on a recent occa sion, given his judgment on the main point, declaring the estate of the trustee, Thrower, liable for all the sums dissipated by the co-trustee, Bland. But with respect to two sums of 6001. and 8001. respectively he had had some hesita tien as to the order to be made, and on these two sums his decision had been reserved. His HoNoua now said that the estate of Thrower must be liable for the re -payment of these two sums also in addition to the rest. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 19. (Sittings in Banco.) HOWARD V. GOSSETT. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL resumed his argument in this part-heard case, and contended that, even if the Court should be against him on the points which he had submitted on Friday, still they must give judgment in favour of the defendant, inasmuch as the defendant was acting merely ministerially in acting upon that warrant, which, at all events, was a suffi cient authority for him, and therefore that the action could not lie. He, therefore, submitted that upon this demurrer the Court must give judgment in favour of the defendant. Mr. KELLY then replied, and contended, on the authority of the King v. Elgee, that this Court could look to the wording of warrants issued by Courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction, inasmuch as in that case it bad decided that a warrant issued by the Court of Bankruptcy, a superior court of record, like the House of Commons, was bad. He also quoted the case of Christie v. Unwin, in which the validity of a warrant issued by the Lord Chancellor had been questioned. He could not but regret that during the course of the last century some of the judges had laid down the law as if the Court could not interfere even to grant a habeas corpus in cases where persons had been committed by the }louse of Commons, but those dicta of the judges were contrary to the law, as it had been acted on both before and since. In the case of Lord Shaftesbury, in that of Hobhouse, in that of the Sheriffs of Middlesex, this Court had gra n t e d a h a b eas corpus, and had looked to the warrants of commitment, and because they held those warrants to be legal, and for that cause only, they remitted the parties to their original custody. The law of the judges of the last century was bad law, and all he asked the Court to do was to do what had been done in all the cases to which he had alluded—to look to the warrant, and see whether or not it was a good warrant ; and he would dismiss all these cases by saying that in every one of them the warrant of commitment set forth the cause of imprisonment, viz., contempt. He apprehended that there was nothing in this warrant to show that the party was to be taken to the bar of the House of Commons. It was a mere simple mandate for taking him into custody. The fact was the recital was so uncertain that it was impossible for the Court to intro duce anything into the mandatory point. Mr. Justice IVIGHTMAN alluded to the case of the warrant for the arrest of Sir Francis Burdett, in which the warrant not only stated that he was to be taken to the Tower of London, but to be delivered to the custody of the Lieutenant of the Tower. Mr. KELLY agreed that in that case it was clearly stated where the party was to be taken to, but in this case there was nothing in the warrant to show either why he was apprehended, or where he was to be brought to. It might be to the bar of the House of Commons, or before any one of the Committees. But even if it were aided to the utmost possible extent by the recital, it went no further than to say apprehend the plaintiff and bring him to the b a r o f th e House of Commons, without stating for what. It was a mere simple mandate of arrest without any cause assigned, and was therefore illegal. He agreed with all that had fallen from the judges in the case of Burdett and Abbott, and Stockdale and Han sard, that this Court could not look into the cause of imprisonment where it was for contempt, and if this warrant had stated that the imprisonment was for contempt, he should not have disputed its validity. What was sought for under this warrant was not to preserve to the House of Commons what it was ad mitted they possessed, the power of committing for a breach of their privileges, but the power of making that law which was not law, and to arrest under an illegal warrant, a warrant which was contrary to Magna Charta. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Suppose the plea had set forth the warrant was issued according to the ancient usages of Parliament, should we not be bound to consider it legal ? Mr. KELLY apprehended not, unless the plea set forth that the form had been used at the time of Magna Charta. If it had not, it was contrary to Magna Charta, and, therefore, unless legalised by Act of Parliament, was void. Now, if the warrant were insufficient in itself, he contended that the defendant could not go to the averments of the plea to help it. If a man resisted his arrest under a lawful warrant, and killed the officer, he was guilty of murder-4 the warrant were unlawful it would be justifiable homicide. Now, suppose the plaintiff had resisted, and killed the officer, could it be said to him, " True, the warrant is bad upon the face of it, but then there was behind it a resolution of the House of Commons, of which you could know nothing, in asmuch as it was not set forth in the warrant ; and, therefore, you must be hanged for murder." But, even suppose reference could be made to the aver ments, he submitted that in these pleas there were no averments which were sufficient to help the warrant. All that was averred was, that the warrant was issued by the proper officer of the House to the proper officer for service, but it left the question of the form of the warrant com pletely untouch e d. N ow h e appere h ended that the house of Commons possessed no peculiar privileges of pleading ; they must plead like other people, and tierefore they ought in express terms to have alleged that, according to the usages of Parliament, it was their privilege to arrest upon such a warrant, and even that would have been insufficient unless it was also alleged that such usage had existed at the time of Magna Charta. But, supposing the warrant might be aided by the averment, and that the averments were sufficient, then came the question, had the House of Commons the right to arrest a person to compel him to give evi dence, or to arrest him upon a mere charge, without having previously adjudged him guilty of contempt? He apprehended that no such power existed. They had power to summon a witness, and if he refused to obey that summons, they could adjudge him guilty of contempt for such refusal, and imprison him for the contempt; and magistrates possessed the same power; but there was no power to appre hend party for the purpose of bringing h inn up in custody to compel him to give evi dence. No doubt all courts had the power of issuing a subpoena to compel the attendance of a wit ness, and on his refusal to come to attach him for contempt, and punish him for his refusal by im prisonment; but they had no more power by law to apprehend persons and bring them up in custody as witnesses than they had when they were brought into Court to compel them to speak by the application of the torture. If a witness were actually in Court and refused to come forward, no doubt the Court had the power of compelling him to come forward, but the Court had no right to send for him into the next parish, and arrest Mtn to compel him t o g i ve ev id ence, al though it migh t adjudge ih guilty of co n t emp t, an d arrest and attach him focatlat contempt, but th e y could not ord er hi m to he arrested and brought u answer a char ge ofp to oTfhce opinowirneorn contended cont for on the p ar t o f the nemoupst. e power of at onc e arrest i ng and imprisoning was of the Queen's subjects with ou t any cause assigned at n all— a power which the Court would be slow in admitting. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20 184 k. He denied that the precedents quoted showed the immemorial existence of a ny such- power, and if claimed it ought to have been distinctly averred upon the plea, in order either that issue might be taken upon it in point of fact, or that it might be demurred to in point of law. The precedents in Hatsell would justify the House of Comm - one in ordering two men to we tied lytylt alid back upon a horse, with panent! •. fined on their breasts, for arresting a Servant o f a Member. There was nothing, however tyrannical or however ludicrous, that cannot be justified by the precedents to be found in the journals of the House of Commons. With regard to the case of Jay and Topham, it should be remembered that neither Sir Francis Pemberton nor Sir Thomas Jones were judges at the time they delivered the opinions quoted by the So licitor-General at the bar of the House of Commons, and that it was evident they spoke under duress, and were in a most degraded and disgraceful position, so that their dicta could not be taken to possess any legal authority. If the precedents were worth anything, they would justify the arrest by the House of Commons of the Judges of this Court for the solemn judgments delivered in this Court, and for declaring that to be the law which they knew to be the law. The right to arrest to compel a person to give evidence was here claimed for the first time, and he trusted the Court would not authorise the assumption of that power upon light grounds ; and he submitted that neither the House of Commons nor any other tribunal had the right to arrest or imprison any of the people of this country without cause shown upon the face of the warrant authorising such arrest. Their Lordships having consulted together, Lord DENMAN said—We shall take some time to consider this, and we do not think it right to anything upon the present occasion. Judgment postponed. BAIL COURT, Nov. 19. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION or HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. GREGERY. Mr. Wonnswopyrn in this case moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the de fendant, who was at present in the custody of the gaoler of Newgate. The defendant was in custody on an indictment, and the period of his imprisonment on that indictment was about to expire. There was a second indictment against him, to which he pleaded guilty, and on which the judgment stood over. The object of the present application was, that he be brought up on Thursday for judgment on the second indict ment; notice to that effect having been given, a habeas corpus directed to the gaoler being necessary for that purpose.—Application granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19. (Sittings in Banco.) BURT V. LEIGH. In this case, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron on Wednesday last, and the verdict returned for the defendant, Mr. Knowles moved to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. The action was for work and labour in the course of last year; and the simple question for the Court to decide was, whether one of the receipts on which a verdict was given for the de fendant was a valid and legal document, inasmuch as it was not stamped. The account was a running account, extending over a long period, and the receipts were for sums paid at various times, that in question not being stamped. The Learned Counsel contended that the case came within the Stamp Act, and that, in accordance with the provisions of that Act, he was entitled to have the verdict entered for the plaintiff. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 19. TUB REGISTRATIONS. Mr. Sergeant KINGLARE made an application to the Court to insert in the list an appeal, which, as we understood, had been omitted, in consequence of delay in receiving the statement of the Revising-Barrister. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL was instructed to oppose the application, but The COURT considered that it had no jurisdiction in the case, and that the application, which came too late, must be refused. The rest of the morning was occupied with mo tions, of no general interest. SHERIFFS" COURT, Nov. 19. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KBIWNIIDT and a Common Jury.) BAINEs V. BAINES-LORD BROUGHAM'S ACT. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, and for money lent by the plaintiff to the defendant. A solicitor conducted the case for the plaintiff. The action was undefended. In September last year the defendant, who was a bookseller carrying on business in the vicinity of Covent-garden market, purchased from the plaintiff, also a bookseller in St. James's square, Clerkenwell, a quantity of manuscript ser mons' for which h e agree d t o pay 51 . S u b sequently he borrowed 51. from the plaintiff, for which he gave him an I. 0. U. The defendant had pleaded that he never was indebted to the plaintiff in the sums speci fied, and had paid 7s. into Court, at the same time pleading that the plaintiff had not sustained any loss or injury beyond that sum. The solicitor said, that through Lord Brougham's Act the plaintiff had been driven into that Court, and added that since the commencement of the action the defendant had sold all his goods, and the plaintiff would therefore have to whistle for his money. The plantiff's daughter proved the delivery of the MS., and the lending of the 51., and the jury accord ingly gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 101. ECYFORD V. HORNS. This was an action for work and labour rendered by the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff is a painter and decorator, and the defendant, some time ago, invented an improved kind of horse shoe, intended to prevent horses slipping on the wood pavement, for which he obtained a patent, and commenced shoeing horses, on his improved prin ciple, in the neighbourhood of Woodstock-square. The defendant, for the purpose of advertising his patent, employed the plaintiff to paint a signboard of extrAordinary description, between twelve and six teen feet long, descriptive of his invention. It was, also, a most expensive article; from its being deeply gilt and decorated in the style known as that of Louis XIV., and was more suited for a drawing-room than for the foggy atmosphere of the London streets. The sum charged for the sign board was 551., a portion of which had been paid, and the action was for the balance. The defendant, it ap peared, was perfectly satisfied with the work. The action, like the last, was undefended, and the jury re- ' turned a verdict for the plaintiff. ARCHES' COUR:I; Nov. 19. linson on three separate charges of assault, for each of which he was fined in the penalty of 40s. Having paid those three fines, he was liberated, but on the same evening was again apprehended for a riot and disturbance, and in the morning again brought before the worthy Magistrate, by whom he was fined V.. and ordered to lummox to keep the pent , . Tri a day or two after this he called at the Matylebotio Police..court with a heavy. whip in his hand, and fol lowed by a ferocious bull dog, demanding that the inspector on duty should point out Alr. ilawlinson to him, as he (Kingston) was determined to give him a sound drubbing. He (Mr. Clarkson) trusted, under all the circumstances of the case, the Court would feel bound to order the ordinary process of the Court to issue. The ASSISTANT•JUDGE inquired if Mr. Kingston was in custody at present ? Mr. CLARKSON said he believed he was in Court now. One of his sureties had refused to remain an swerable for him any longer. lie was not, therefore, under sureties now, neither did Inspector Tedman consider himself at liberty to take him into custody. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said if he had surrendered he was in custody of the Court. He (the Assistant• Judge) should therefore take care that Kingston should not leave the Court without enter ing into proper sureties, which would effectually pre vent injury being inflicted by him upon any person. Mr. Kingston then sat down before the bar in cus tody of one of the officers of the Court. The prisoner is a remarkable powerful-looking man, and is well known on the turf, and in the ring, having challenged Ben Cauat, who is well known as champion of England, to a pugilistic encounter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW- STREE7. Monday, after the night charges had been dis posed of by Mr. Hall, the Court was somewhat puz zled by an application in broken English, from a stout hale-looking Frenchman, considerably advanced in years, and attired in rather seedy habiliments, who represented himself as one Buchoz Hilton, to whom Louis Philippe was indebted to the amount of several thousand pounds, for alleged services of an extraordi nary nature in the " Revolution of July." He pre sented the Magistrate with some printed c opi es o f an address to the Queen of England, whose intercession in his behalf he earnestly implored, and then produced the Times of October 10th, to which he said he wished to direct his Worship's particular attention. The paper contained a report of a similar visit by the Frenchman to the Marylebone-office, the reporter having added, that the same party was taken into cus tody nine or ten years ago for collecting a mob oppo site to the residence of the French Ambassador, in Manchester-square, where he had stationed himself on the back of a donkey, and offered to sell blacking made of the blood and bones of Louis Philippe's satellites. The MAGISTRATE—What do you wish me to do ,hen ? Applicant—At de beginning, your Lordship, I wish to know if it is necessaire to have a license in dis country to stick up de bills for show in de streets of London ? The Time: newspaper is so much in love with Louis Philippe, that it is always writing lies and nonsense for to please him ; and for what it has said of me, it deserves to go to the madhouse.—(A laugh.) Here is the Times, which says, that nine years ago was riding a donkey. It was not me, at all, for it w as, a—what you call a gallows, with the King sus pended—and I was only walking by the side. The MAGISTRATE—Let me look at the paper. The Frenchman handed it over, and continued his story.—The Queen of die country is too good and too generous ; and if it had not been for the lies in the Times, she would have said to Louis Philippe, " Ali, before you come to me, you must settle dis business; you must pay Buchoz Hilton what it is you owe him." But she see the Times, which has done me great in jury, and is all not true. I shall show you that Louis Philippe has been to me a traitor, and he may come with his long sword, on which is the words " Ge mappes, Valmy," and he may bring his son " John Veal" (Joinville), the giant-keeler, who I shall prove is a " poltron," and I shall— The MAGISTRATE—WeII, I can't assist you. You may put up your hills wherever you can get permis sion to do so, if there is nothing illegal in them. The Frenchman bowed very politely, and then withdrew, apparently very well satisfied with the re sult of his application, the nature of which neither the Magistrate, nor any body else, had been able to imagine.

Dr. LUSIIINGTON proceeded this morning to give judgment in this important case. The suit was originally instituted by the Earl of Dysart to enforce the Countess to return to his house, his real object, as stated by his counsel, being to protect himself against any liabilities incurred by the Countess as his wife. She petitioned, and in her pleadings stated that from his former cruelty she was now afraid to resume her conjugal duties, lest she should again be subject to personal violence. His HoNoua had great difficulty in coming to an immediate conclusion, as the evidence adduced on both sides was of so contradictory a character, and therefore it would be necessary for him, in the exercise of his duty, to enter at considerable length, and at the haasrd of being somewhat tedious, into the details of the case. His Honour then dwelt minutely on the statements of the different witnesses, and conclud e d by saying, that in his co nsc i ence be believed, that that these unhappy dissensions were in the first instance occasioned by Lady Dysart's own violence, unguarded language, frequently absenting herself from her husband's roof, to enjoy the greater indulgences of her father's house, and one primary cause of these divisions might be found in the little effort she made to consult his tastes, his habits, his wishes--he would even say his eccen tricities. But ho (Dr. Lushington) did not exclude the Noble Earl from blame. His language was such to his wife as no man, even in the most degraded state of society, would use to the veriest pro fligate, and hik passions were not kept under that proper control which was so necessary in a man of his irritable temperament. Yet again, he said, that looking over all the evidence, he could see no reason why Lady Dysart should not return to her duties and to the shelter of her husband' s roo f . , The petition was accordingly dismissed. An appeal was entered against the judgment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) The Second November Sessions commenced yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell. The calendar contains the names of fifty-nine prisoners, although not a fortnight has elapsed since the Court sat last. Many of the cases were of the most paltry and trifling nature. One prisoner was committed for stealing three herrings, another for stealing 31bs. of potatoes, and a third for stealing a quarter of a pound of soap. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE briefly addressed the Grand Jury, and commented upon the recent im provement which had been effected in the criminal law, by which the business of the Old Bailey was so much expedited. The calendar did not present any unusual features which rendered it necessary for him to advert more particularly to them, as although the calendar was numerically heavy, there were compa ratively no serious cases for trial. THREATENING A POLICE MAGISTRATE.—MT. CLARKSON, on behalf of Mr. Rawlinson, the presiding magistrate of the Marylebone Police-court, applied to the_ B enc h t o h ave R o b ert K ingston bound over to keep the peace towards that gentleman under the fsotallteowditzt circumst ances : —Th e Learned Counsel Kingston was brought before Mr. Raw- COLONL IL SUGAR.—In British l'ittutationa good business con tinues to be done about 850 hhds having found buyers at fully previous rates, and the market is very firm.

SUGAR.—To-day the market for West India Sugar presented a firm appearance ; the demand was very good for all sorts for the scale and pan, the advanced rates pre viously established were fully supported ; indeed for Sugars worth from 56s to 63s per cwt an advance in some cases of fld per cwt was obtained; the show has become small and very indifferent. The purchases reached 660 hbds, including a public sale of 100 hhds of .Barbadoes Sugar, which went off with spirit at very full rates—tine yellow at 665, good 63s 6d to 645, good mid 60s to 61s, mid 58s to 59s 6d, and low 55s 6d to 57s per cwt.

Of Madras 155 bags were sold at 41s for very low heavy dark brown, being the full value. WooL.—The market is still in a quiet state for all descriptions of weol, and those parties that are inclined to realise are compelled to submit to rather tower rates: the arrivals last week were 1,828 bales, 506 of which consisted of Spanish, and 491 hales of African. FouEthee—To-day many inquiries existed for Foreign Sugar, but the offers made were such that merchants would nut accept. There an , large purdtasers, at prices rather above those that prevailed prior to the intelligence from the Havannah. The Dutch Company's public sale of 50,000 baskets of Sugar, equal to 12,000 tons, went off with spirit at 11 florin advance, equal to Is and is ed per cwt.

Pouchong is still wanted, and several parcels have been sold at firm rates—clean fetching sid to 10d, and superior lOid to I Is 2d; the stock is still diminishing, and this is still the cheapest description of Tea. Of Souchong some parcels have been sold on former terms. Twank ay large parcels of yellow leaf sold at is lid to Is 21d per lb; the sup;:ly is scanty of brightish leaf and Ilyson kinds, which are much wanted, and fully maintain late rates.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.---A remarkable instance a providential escape from untimely death occurr ed t° three young gentlemen, at M ars d en R oc k, near South Shields, nn Tuesday last. It appears that a holiday having been given at the school which they attended, a number of youths went to Marsden Rock for a little ei cursion, and to enjoy the beauties of that romantic spot. Three of the party descended to the beach and wandered about for some time; these were sons of Mr. WeaMod e Robson, Mr. Wm. Dixon, and Mr. Louie, of Bigler wearmeuth. The sea was very rough, and the tide Was setting in very strong, when they discovered that th e tide had flowed round them and cut off their retreat The little fellows got upon the highest point of the run!" and the water by this time had reached above their knees, and was flowing so rapidly that they must 50 1 I have been swept into the surge. Young Dixon was t hree times washed off his standin g pl ace , b ut ga i ne d it sr' In this junbture a brother of Robson looked over th e 1 precipice, and saw the imminent danger of his you n g friends, and instantly ran to the house of Peter Aga n ; close by, and gave the alarm. All an w i t h promptitud e took a rope, and hastened t o th e roc k, an d b a y ing lewored down the rope, desired one of the boys to faste n it round his waist; this was done, an d h e was d r agg' up a height of 70 feet with safety. The other two boy were reocued in the same way, young Robson 01 ; rageously waiting to the last to assist his more frightee7 companions.. Dixon was in a ve r y ex h auste d s t a te, an bad to be pint to bed at Peter Allan's, where be soon r e ; covered so as to walk home ; th e ot h er two were mu° bruised against the rock in being drawn up, but all are now in a fair way of recovery f rom i n j ury and fright' About five minute s after their esca p e t h e spot on which they stood was covered with th e f oaming surge , s o that their escape was truly providential.—Durham Adveriiie r.

Taylor, the second clerk, wrote to the chief constable at Hull to inquire into the truth of the statement made by Miss Hayes, whose case has excited so much sympathy, and yesterday re ceived the following reply : " Town Hall, Hull, Nov. 16. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, referring me to a report in the new spapers respecting the case of distress of Miss Georgiana Hayes, and requesting me to intOrm you something of her history. " In reply, I beg to acquaint you that I was inti mate with the late Mr. Picard and the family of Miss Hayes, and that the whole of her statement as re ported and detailed in your letter is perfectly correct. "I have inclosed you a Post-office order for 205., handed to me by John Barkworth, Esq., one of the magistrates of this place, after having read the state ment in the Times.—Your obedient servant, "A. M'AIANUS." The following note, addressed to Mr. Burrell, was also yesterday received : " Miss Hayes, whose case has called forth so much deserved sympathy from the public, is, ere this, I have no doubt, better provided for, but the poor wo man, Carr, who took her starving from the streets, to share her scanty meal, and when she could no longer supply Miss Hayes with food, made known to you and the public her distressing situation, what sym pathy or relief has been afforded to her ? If she has not been brought up in the lap of luxury, she has been brought up in disposition which would do credit to those who have been better educated. Will you be kind enough to forward to Mrs. Carr the enclosed sovereign from one who much admires her kind heartedness and generosity to her former mistress. " J. A. S." In the course of the day two sovereigns were re ceived from J. H. and a trifling sum from D. D. for Miss Hayes, and 2/. for Mrs. Carr, whose conduct the writer much admired. THE EXPERIMENTAL FIRING ON WIMBLEDON COMMON. On Monday, Mr. Buckingham, of 20, South-row, New-road, St. Pancras, applied to Mr. Paynter, the sitting magistrate at the Wandsworth Police-court, for his advice and assistance under the following cir cumstances : Mr. Buckingham stated that he was the inventor of a new destructive projectile, called the " Victoria" 3hell, for blowing up towns and mines. On Wed nesday afternoon last he was making experiments on Wimbledon-common, in the presence of Dr. Ryan and other scientific gentlemen appointed by the Go vernment, and in the course of those experiments he subjected to trial two new shells, which were dis charged into a bank, but did not explode within the given time (three quarters of an hour). Two hours afterwards he began digging for those shells which had not exploded to prevent accidents, as they were of a very destructive tendency. In a short time he dug up either twelve or thirteen, none of these had exploded, indeed the principle of invention with re spect to all but two which were to have burst within the hour was, that they should remain in the ground twenty-four hours . before such an event took place, nine of the shells were washed and placed in a bag, the remainder were lying loose on the ground, when a man named Taylor, who had formerly been in the Grenadier Guards, and who had been waiting upon Dr. Ryan, took up one of the loose balls which had some gravel adhering to it, and while in the act of washing it, the shell exploded, mutilating him in a shocking manner. The accident bad such an effect upon applicant that for two days he was confined to his bed with the brain fever. He was unable before he left the ground to remove the balls to a place of security, but left the men to keep watch and prevent any persons approaching the spot. On Saturday morning he again visited Wimbledon common, and found that all the loaded balls had been carried off in spite of the vigilance of the men left to watch them. Applicant becoming alarmed for the safety of the public generally, and it being most pro bable they might have got into the possession of per sous ignorant of their destructiveness, he immediately communicated with Inspector Busain, of the V divi sion, and through the vigilance of that officer he had discovered six of the loaded shells, but he was unfor tunately still ignorant as to where the remainder were secreted. His principal motive in coming forward and making this statement was, that it might obtain publicity through the powerful means of the press, and thus be the means of cautioning any persons who might retain possession of them, as their danger ous tendency now lay in moving them about after being fired from the cannon. Inspector Busain informed the magistrate that be ing applied to by Mr. Buckingham, and hearing the danger that might result to the public, he exerted himself to discover who were the possessors of the missing balls. After some time he ascertained that a gardener in the service of a physician at Roehamp ton had been seen throwing some of the balls about in the tap-room of a beer shop in that village, and one of the balls was in the act of being put upon the fire, when the landlord, who is an old artillery-man, came in, and guessing what it was, got possession of it, and, together with others, buried them in the ground for safety. He subsequently discovered that a youth named Marlow had had another in his pos session, but afterwards threw it into a pond. He had informed the constables of that section of the circum stance, and they would make every inquiry after the missing balls. Mr. PAYNTER said it was by a remarkable inter vention of Providence that a frightful catastrophe had been averted, and he hoped in future more care would be taken to prevent the public getting such dreadful missiles into their possession. As the police had succeeded in discovering some of these missiles, he would direct them to redouble their efforts to trace out the remainder ; for, until they were found, it was impossible to state what dreadful calamities might no ensue. UNION-HALL. Monday several persons were summoned by the P division of police, and amongst them some poor women fur selling fruit in the streets. The evidence adduced against the defendants was that they had boards or stalls by the road side at Walworth, with fruit, and that they created an ob struction, and being warned to desist, and not paying any attention to it, were accordingly summoned for the offence. One of the defendants, an elderly woman, said that she had no other means of support, and that it was to keep out of the workhouse she endeavoured to sell fruit in the Walworth-road to support herself. She added that the tradesman opposite whose door she had her little stand gave her permission, and that being on the road side it was no obstruction to the pas• sengers. Mr. 'TRAILL said that it was illegal, and that the tradesman had no powerto give her such an authority. In reply to the Magistrate, she said she had been summoned before for a similar offence, and had been committed for seven days in default of paying the fine inflicted on her. Mr. TRAILL said that after such a punishment one would have supposed she would not have repeated the offence. The defendant said she had no other means of get ting her living, or she would not have resorted to it. Mr. TRAILL said that as she had again broken the law he should commit her.—Committed accordingly. Another woman, in defence, said she had five chil dren dependent on her for support, and asked what she was to do if she was prevented from selling a little fruit by the roadside—that the workhouse was staring her and her children in the face if she was obliged to abstain from it. In reply to the Magistrate she admitted that she had been summoned before the P division, and that she, on that occasion, left off selling fruit, but being Dearly starved she was compelled to begin again. Mr. Tama. told her, that let the consequences be what they might she must not be permitted to go on in that way breaking the law. She should assuredly be committed to gaol in default of paying the fine.
