DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro bins, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person migit have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he ntticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had :prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co npletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scnrbutie Drops" to the notice of the public.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 15.—We hear tiTt the Russian fleet in the Sound will proceed to the north, to meet the new ship of the line, the New Ingermanland, built at An hangel instead of the Ingermanland which was wrecked last year. It is said to have the Grard Duke Michael on board (other accounts, more correct, say Constantine), who, as high admiral, will take the com mand of the squadron, which will be joined by the Aurore frigate, on her return from London. Another frigate arrived at Elsinore on Thursday, and another ship of the line is expected. Professor Prang, who was sent for to St. Petersburgh to a consultation relative to the Grand Duchess Alex andria, has returned to this city. He declares that the statements published in some of the German journals, that the Princess had been delivered of a still-born child are unfounded ; but it is unhappily too true that she still continues in a very precarious state. ELSINORE, JULY 13.—The Russian fleet was joined yesterday by a corvette, so that it now consists of 13 ships. This afternoon the whole fleet fired a salute, as we understand, on account of the fete of the Empress. The fortress of Orenonburg and the guard-ship also saluted, and the latter. had the Russian and Danish flags. Many. boats, with officers and men, came yester day and to-day to purchase refreshments, &c. Several officers and cadets made excursions in the neighbour hood in carriages, on horseback, and on foot. STOCKHOLM, JULY 12.—The sitting of the extraorcii nary Diet commenc. d yesterday. The King summoned the herald yesterday ; and in the presence of the Crown Prince, the Knights of the Seraphim, the Swedish and Norwegian Councillors of State, delivered to him the royal proclamation for the opening of the Diet, to read it in the several places in the city. His Majesty then nominated Count Posso (formerly Minister of Justice), to the office of Landmarshal of the Diet, and gave him his staff of office. ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 9.—The birthday of the Emperor was kept the clay before yesterday, quite in silence, doubtless out of respect to the distress of the IMperial Family, on account of the illness of the Grand Duchess Alexandria. lIANOYER, JULY 16.—We were alarmed yesterday by a report that the town of Gedar was almost entirely burnt to, the ground. To-day, however, we learn that there has been a great fire, which destroyed a church, with a celebrated organ, and two houses. It is stated that to the indefatigable and judicious exertions of the military in directing the fire-engines, may be ascribed the preservation of the remainder of the town. The wind being very stormy, and the roofs of the adjoining houses being often in great danger.—Hamburgh papers. CAUSES OF INCENDIARISM. - (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NORWICII, JULY 22.—The fact I gave you on Saturday is working more practical mischief than any one unacquainted with these districts can imagine. I enclose you a clause or two from agreements insisted upon by some of the largest • landowners, Whigs too, and when you consider that farms must be very scarce before men would sign such agreements, you may infer that they are put at a sufficient high rent, while the commutation of tithe has increased that payment from fifteen to forty per cent. in some parishes, over what it was under the old sys tem. Out of the operation of these things, the farmers— the one or two hundred acres farmers especially—are driven by stress of landlord and parson circumstances, and the com petition for a place to live in, to do all they canto scre w th e labourers; and amongst other practices, that to which I directed your attention is producing the greatest heart burning and Necessity first induced these farmers to pay labourers in proportion to their opinion of their wants, till now, it is—l speak from knowledge of cases—become part of the calcula tion with them, in taking .a farm, to reckon on a portion of the labour being done by single men at half the price of married men I You don't want to be told that the landlords reap the benefit, such as it is, of calculations and practices of this kind. Nor need you be told, that when men have signed agree ments of this kind, which first place themselves at the mercy of an aristocratic landlord, and their wives, if they shall die in the most degraded of all positions. All the affections which in by-gone periods existed between the landlord and farmer on the one hand, and the farmer and labourers on the other, are extinguished. You may depend upon it, much of the heart-burning which lights the stacks and barns ori ginates in that fact of unequal payment; and the farmers are driven .by such agreements, and yearly leases as these, to do and defend what was formerly wholly re pugnant to their habits and feelings. See, from this, what folly it is for the landlords in " von House" to vapour about the causes of fire as they do, when they are themselves the primary cause ! There are plenty of other causes all tending the same way, equally to be laid at their door, but this is all to-day. Preamble of an agreement, signed by certain farmers, runs thus : "From the I lth October, 1843, fur the term of one year thence next ensuing, and thenceforward from year to year determinable at the end of the first, or any subsequent year' on six months' previous notice, given in writing on either side, for that purpose." Then see, if a man dies, how voters are made, and widows treated : " That in case the said - shall die four months before the expiration of the said term, it shall be at the option of the said -, his heirs, or assigns, by notice in writing, to be delivered to the personal representative of the said - or person entitled to bec o m e suc h persona l representative,, to determine, and put an end to the tenancy under this agreement., from the Michaelmas-day next after the decease of the said -, being allowed for all unexhausted improve ments in the culture of the lands according to the condi • tion and scale of the steward's list. But if the said - shall leave a widow, and if such widow, having been per mitted to continue the occupation, shall marry again during the remainder of such term, it shall be lawful for the said -, his heirs, or assigns, at any period of the tenancy, to determine and put an end to such tenancy, without any allowance, except as between the outgoing and incoming tenant I" People under such circumstances as this .have to look to themselves, not to their labourers; all kindly feelings are by ;hem rooted out.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. Last night (Monday) a most melancholy accident, at tended with the loss of several lives, happened by the break ing down of the floating pier belonging to the Watermen's steam-boats, moored upon the east side of Blackfriars- bridge. A crowd of men, women, and children, had congregated upon the pier for the purpose of witnessing the great heat of the Bankside boat race, when suddenly the temporary bridge gave way and precipitated not less than twenty per sons into the water, which was then about ten feet deep, on the Middlesex side. The confusion was at once indescribable —a dense mass of human beings struggling together, each clasping the other, and many of them sinking to rise no more. With all possible speed drags were procured, and four persons were after much difficulty rescued, and, after the most careful attention on the part of Dr. Hutchinson, they were restored - to their famili es an d f r i en d s . About eight o'clock the bodies of two children, whose names we have since ascertained to be Benjamin Breadcot, aged about four years, and that of his sister, about fburteen years of age, were brought ashore quite dead. The bodies were taken at once, on stretchers, by the police to the Glaziers' Arms, in Water-lane, and every attempt made to resuscitate them, but without effect. About half-past eight the body of a young female, about eighteen years of age, was found close by the bow of one of the coal-barges lying alongside the floating pier. She was dressed in a bl ac k d rawn b onne t, a l aven d er print dress, had on an apron, but no ring upon her finger. She was quite dead when taken to the above public-house, where she was laid by a large fire and wrapped up in flannel. Up to nine o'clock no -one had appeared to iden tify the body, nor up to that tour had any other person been found. When the poor creatures were precipitated into the river, their screams for assistance were truly heart-rending, but so great was the confusion, that few had sufficient presence of mind to exert themselves. The police, both of the Thames and City forces, under their several inspectors and sergeants, exerted themselves most meritoriously in attempting to rescue the drowning persons; and up to half-past nine o'clock the excitement occasioned by persons inquiring for missing parties was truly dreadful. By ten o'clock two other bodies had been picked up at St. Paul's Wharf, but the parties were restored. Just before that hour another female body was found, and as all the bodies are identified, we are enabled to furnish a correct list of those discovered, who now lie dead at the Royal Humane Society's House, the Glaziers' Arms : Mary Ann Breadcot, 18 years of age, living with her father in Newgate-market. Rhoda, aged 14, her sister. Benjamin, aged about four years. Also, Maria Bulstead, 23 years of age, a fringe-maker, who was residing at 8, Jerusalem-passage, St. John's-lane. The inquiries for others missing were very numerous dur ing the evening ; but owing to the darkness no further search could be made. At dawn operations were to be re commenced. to the Brown Bear public house in a greatly exhausted con dition. Of Mr. Thwaites, his son, and the stranger, nothing was seen afterwards, and there cannot be a doubt but that they perished almost at the moment of the occurrence. Mr. Thwaites was a widower, and has left a family to deplore his loss. Up to a late hour last evening none of the bodies had been recovered. . Just about the same period as the above took place, another fatal accident occurred within two or three hundred yards from the spot, higher up the river, to a skiff contain ing seven persons, on their return from Putney. It seems that on their arriving off Millbank their craft came too near a barge, and one of them, named White, got up, and was in the act of pushing her off when he overbalanced himself and fell headforemost into the river. Another of the party immediately attempted to catch hold of White, as the poor fellow was sinking, and he accidentally fell overboard also. The remainder, who, according to all accounts, were in liquor, succeeded, by the help of a scull, in rescuing the latter • and on their directing their attention to White he was found have disappeared, and had unfortunately perished. The body has not, as yet, been found. The third happened on board the Nymph, Woolwich steamer, in Bugby's-hole, near Blackwell pier, whilst on her passage to London, to an interesting little girl, named Clarke, as it was understood, eight years of age, and which caused the most painful excitement amongst the passengers that crowded the vessel. She had been down to Woolwich, in company with her parents, and on returning, it is said, in playing about, she accidently fell overboard from the gang way, which was not,properly fastened, and before the steamer could bring, up the little innocent had sunk. It is, however, only right to state that the captain and crew considered that the child had in play withdrawn the bolt, and thus caused its own death. The other fatal accident, making the fourth, happened to the mate of a collier off Rotherhithe. He had been spend ing the evening with some friends in Ratcliff, and was about returning on board his ship, when he unhappily missed his hold and fell into the Thames, and the draught of water carrying him under some barges, he was never seen after wards, and of course was drowned. During the evening, another man lost his life under somewhat similar circum stances, and his body was speedily recovered, and now lies in Wapping workhouse. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for corns, its operation is such as to render the cutting of corns altogether unnecessary: indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre quently attended with laments.ble consequenc.s, besides its liability to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most in veterate corns and bunions. EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS. From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the Aldersgate School of Medicine. Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has entirely taken away his Corns, and he has recommended it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and Bunions. From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Dr. Ley presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform hint that his Corn Plaster has taken away his Corns. Similar Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible situation in an insurance-office in the City, from over attention to business became so bilious, debilitated, and nervous, with palpitation of heart, and with a dread on the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren dered for some weeks quite incapable of attending to his duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the use of this miraculous medicine, which in a fortnight restored him to the highest enjoyment of health, and this when physicians failed to afford the least relief. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Hollo way's establishment, 224, Strand, where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world. SOUTH DEvoN RAILWAY.—Our readers, and, in fact, all persons interested in this important undertaking, will be pleased to hear that steps have already been taken to com mence the works. They may, indeed, be said virtually to have commenced, for on Monday last the Directors met at Exeter, in order to facilitate the proceedings, and Mr. Brunel has, for some time past, been engaged in ob taining the necessary information, preparatory to the contracts being advertised. At Dawlish beach, the soundings for the foundation have been taken by him, and are in some places about 17 feet. The station will be on the site of Mr. Kennaway's house ; the cuttings through the cliff will soon be worked out on tD the rocks the Parson and Clerk. The Sand Rock being easily cut, will soon be got through, and the outward sea-wall facing, built of Babbicombe lime stone rock, will form its outward exterior, and will be of the finest workmanship. It is considered certain that the line to Newton will be completed within twelve months, and to Ply mouth in about two years.—Devonport Independent. THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN THE SHOOT ING-GALLERY, HOLBORN.—From inquiries made last night, it appears that although Mr. Smith enjoyed comparatively good rest on Sunday night, that he still continues in as pre carious a state as when he was first wounded. The ball is not as yet extracted, and in consequence of its dangerous position (the small o the back near the spine) they are compelled to leave the ball to make its way by absorption, or through poulticing. Lord Audley continues his attention to the wounded man without intermission. His Lordship's ill-fated brother still perseveres in his sullen silence, and will not give the least cause for his insane act. The Right Hon. J. B. Bosanquet has kindly pre sented 101. 10s. to the General Annuity Society, and Sir C. Forbes, Bart., a like amount. The institution rapidly pro gresses in its patronage. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Last evening an accident, attended with an appalling sa crifice of human life, occurred at Blackfriars-bridge, by the giving way of the temporary pier used for the accommoda tion of steam-boat passengers. The following particulars relative to the melancholy accident, collected from authentic sources, may be relied upon for their accuracy, although, owing to the excitement that prevailed, the greatest diffi culty was experienced in obtaining them : The time the occurrence took place was as near eight as possible, at which hour the " dumb lighter," and the steps covering the barges leading to it, were crowded by. people assembled there for the purpose, principally, of viewing the Bankside regatta. The great majority of these, however, were children and young girls. Upon the " dumb lighter" about 50 persons, nearly all females, had taken their station for the purpose of going aboard the iron steam-boats, as the men on duty at the pier suppose, but which some of those rescued state was to have a better view of the boat-race. At the time stated above the last heat was being rowed, the river was covered with boats, and the lower side of the bridge lined with people—all at once those who were gazing at the men racing had their attention drawn to the City side of the bridge by hearing a loud crash, as of timbers breaking, followed by shrieks of a most heart-rending nature. All eyes were turned to the spot, people.an d T a most he steps appalling uniting spectacle was presented to the the steps of th e b r id ge w ith th e dumb lighter, were found to have given way, and nearly the whole of those who a moment before were all joy and glad ness, were seen struggling in the water. The shock was so violent, that many on the dumb lighter forming the pier were shook off, and being high water, and principally fe males, they clung to each others dresses and shrieked for aid. To describe the consternation and terror which pre vailed is impossible, and for a minute those who could render assistance were so panic-struck that they were not able to do so. The first intimation of assistance was the boats which ' had followed those racing, crossing the river to the scene, and several were rescued by them. The drags were imme diately put in use, and several persons were recovered by those means, and were removed to the Glaziers' Arms, in Water-lane, where Mr. Hutchinson, of Farringdon-street, the surgeon to the police force, was in attendance, and by great exertion succeeded in restoring many apparently dead, who were subsequently removed in cabs to their own residences. "When the excitement consequent on the first shock of the accident had a little subsided, the watermen and others com menced dragging, and in a few minutes the bodies of two young girls were brought up, one apparently about sixteen, and the other some years her junior. They were removed to the Glaziers' Arms, and here a most painful scene took place—they were recognised by their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Breadcot, residing in Newgate-market, who had been saved from a similar fate, as two out of three children who were with them when the accident happened. Mr. Hutchinson tried to restore them to life, but from the time they had been under water, his services were of no avail. In an hour after the body of a remarkably fine little boy, about four or five years of age, was found near some coal barges lying off Messrs. Eddington's wharf. It was carried to the same house, and was immediately identified as the third child of Mr. Breadcot, who, with his wife, appeared inconsolable for their loss. At this time, nine o'clock, the excitement prevailing in the neighbourhood of the bridge almost baffles description. The bridge itself was rendered impassable, whilst in Chatham place thousands had assembl e d, hundreds anxiously pushing forward with inquiring g aze , t o ascer t a i n if any o f their friends were missing; whil s t women w h ose c hild ren h a d been allowed out to see the rowing -match, and had not returned, were rushing to and fro in the most frantic manner, calling loudly for their offspring. Cabs kept continually driving up to the bridge, rumour having made the accident much more melancholy than it really was, with persons anxious for the safety of their relatives, who were to land at that pier from the steam-boats. Around the Glaziers' Arms, whither the bodies were taken, an im mense crow d assem bl e d ; an d it re quired the assistance of tw o po li ce - cons t a bles to prevent the mob from rushing into the house en masse. At twelve o'clock last night the excitement had not in the least abated. About half-past nine o'clock, a fourth body, that of a young woman, was recovered, and was removed to the Glaziers Arms, when she was identified as residing, up to the time of the accident, in Jerusalem-court, St. John-street road, and her name was stated to be Eliza Edwards. The number of persons who were precipitated into the river was about forty, of these onl y twelve were taken out b y means of the drags, eight were restored, and four were dead when brought ashore . How many were rescue d b y t h e b oats i t is impossible to state ; but it is the opinion of the men em ployed in dragging that a great number of bodies are still in the river, having floated under the coal barges lying near the pier, and beyond the reach of the drags. Up to twelve o'clock last night, the drags were still being used, and Commissioner Harvey gave orders that a f r esh body of police should be sent'to the bridge, to render assistance. The most active measures have been resorted to to find other bodies. The cause of the accident, and whether any one is to blame, will be fully inquired into, not only by the Coroner, but by the Lord Mayor, information having been sent to his Lord ship of the occurrence. TWELVE O'CLocx.—The number of people on the bridge has in no way decreased, nor the excitement in the neigh bourhood. The police still continue their exertions in trying to find more bodies, and the scene altogether presents one of an awful but singular character. The red glare of the torches, added to the splashing of the drags as they were thrown into the water, together with the stillness, ex cept now and then, which reigns, has a strange effect. About eleven o'clock the four bodies were removed from the Glaziers' Arms to the dead-house of St. Ann's, Black friars, in Ireland-yard, followed by an immense multitude, who appeared to feel deeply the cause which had hurried so many to an early grave. Mr. Breadcot carried on the busi • ness of a cheesemonger, in Newgate-market, and with his wife and children, was waiting for a steam-boat when the ac cident happened. The other female had landed but a few minutes from a steamer. At midnight the tide was so low that the police were able to make a search among the coal. barges for others, but up to that hour their search was fruitless. The opinion, how ever, is, that there are many persons still missing, and that the coal barges are still resting upon them. The pier extends nearly 101afftt into the river, being formed . a n k su, Upon citnhdi s o g f a n g a g n w g w a y a y a despite the efforts of th e men employed t h he d"l oth p er l uniting one o uf ne pere bara at the pier, collected , and it i s supposed the wood being rotten, and not of sufficient strength to bear such a weight, of old craft, coveredwitwhit gave way, and caused the loss of life above detailed. NUMEROUS FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER. SEVEN LIVES LOST. On Sunday night last no fewer than four accidents, attended with a less of human life, happened on the River Thames, the particulars of which will be found in the sub joined summary of the whole of the facts. The one of the most painful and distressing character occurred between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock abreast of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Palace to a party of five, who were re t urn i ng from a trip up to Richmond. From the statements of the survivors, two youths named Henry Tuckton and Alfred M'Evoy, it appears that on their return they stopped at the Red House, Battersea, where they partook of some slight re• freshments, and continued their course towards Hungerford market, where they had engaged the cutter, Mr. Thwaites, a brother-in -law of Mr. Lye, a master tailor, of Great Pulteney-• street, taking charge of the rudder, and the remainder, viz., his son John, another young man whose n ame i s at present unknown, and the survivors, pulling. On nearing Lambeth Church, keeping the middle of the stream, they observed a steamer in their wake, and being close upon them, they pulled towards the Middlesex shore, in order to get out of her way. Very few minutes had elapsed before the whole of the party were suddenly precipitated into the water, by the cutter running into a barge moored in the roadstead, with such force as to almost shiver it in two, clearly showing that the unfortunate persons had their attention directed to the approach of the steamer more than to where they were going. For some time their piteous cries of " Help," could be heard from both shores for a considerable distance, but in consequence of the lateness of the evening, a lengthened period elapsed er e b oa t s were put off to their assistance. M‘Evoy managed, as the boat went from under him, to grasp at an iron ring that hung over the barge ; and Tuckton was afterwards picked up, floating on the bottom of the cutter, by a waterman, and taken ashore THE RECENT BILL DISCOUNT ING CASE. John Alves, the person charged with having fraudulently obtained two promissory notes of 1,0001. each from Lord C. Fitzroy, attended yesterday before Mr. Maltby, at Marl borough-street Police-court, to meet the further proceedings in the case. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Watkins were present in support of the charge. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Roberts, were for the accused. After some consultation among the Learned Counsel, Mr. Bodkin addressed Mr. Maltby, and said he appeared for the gentleman at the bar, who had been remanded last week until this day, for the alleged misappropriation of the proceeds of two bills entrusted to him by Lord Charles Fitzroy, for the purpose of getting discounted. Without giving any opinion, or going into any investigation as to the guilt of the accused party, though his belief was, that the accused had committed no legal offence, he was ready, as his Learned Friend entertained a different view of the law, to enter into recognisances to meet the charge at the sessions. Mr. Clarkson said, as this step would answer all purposes, it would not be necessary for him to go into further arguments in reference to the charge, and on the part of his client he was willing to assent to this arrangement. Mr. Ballantine informed Mr. Maltby that Mr. Parry (the holder of one of the promissory notes, against whom a bill in Chancery has recently been filed) was in Court, and ready to give evidence, if necessary, of his share in the transaction. Mr. Clarkson said he should not trouble Mr. Parry to say anything. His object in obtaining the attendance of Mr. Parry was to ensure the production of the promissory notes. Mr. Bodkin said the notes were in Court, and would be pro duced in obedience to any proper authority. Here the proceedings terminated. The clause in the Act 7th and Bth George IV., chap. 29, sec. 49, relied on by the Counsel for the prosecution, is the following :—" If any money, or security for the payment of money, be entrusted to any banker, broker, or other agent, with any direction in writing to apply such money, or any part thereof, or the proceeds, for any purpose specified in such direction, and he shall, in violation of good faith, and contrary to the purpose so specified in the directions, convert to his own use the proceeds, money, or security, or any part thereof, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and be subject to the penalty of fourteen years' transportation." It will .be seen, the stipulation respecting directions in " writing" is the weak point of the case, as the directions were only verbal on the point of Lord C. Fitzroy. There is, however, another point in the defendant's favour. A bill in Chancery has been filed against him and two others, and the third section of the above Act prohibits in such a case any criminal proceedings. IRELAND. LORD HEYTESBURY.-THE CORPORATION. Dunux, JULY 21.—1 n consequence of the official com munication transmitted from Dublin Castle to the Mansion house, respecting the arrival of Lord Heytesbury on the 26th inst.; a circular announcing the fact was forwarded yesterday afternoon to the various members of the corporation of Dublin, who were requested to attend at the Mansion-house in their official robes, to meet his Excellency. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. COUNTY OF LIMERICK-FRIDAY, JULY 19. CONSPIRACY OF GOVERNMENT WITNESSES TO BURN LORD DUNRAVEN'S OFFICES.—This extraordinary and atrocious case was tried before Mr. Kemmis, Q.C., acting as judge of assize. James O'Regan, Mary O'Regan, Mary Burns, and Thomas Looney, were indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to the out-offices of the Earl of Dunraven, at Adare, on the 18th of April last. The indictment contained four counts, in each of which Looney was charged with inciting the other prisoners to commit the outrage. Mr. Bennett, Q.C., stated the case. He said, there are four prisoners in the dock, three of whom are indicted for actually setting fire to the outhouses of Lord Dunraven, and burning the corn contained in a barn. Looney is charged, not with doing it himself, but as being an accessory before the fact. One of the prisoners, Mary Regan, a young woman, may get off, if the jury conceive she acted under the coercion of her husband; for although she stands charged with a felony, she is excusable by law if, at the time of committing the deed, she acted under his orders; but, on the other hand, if she participated in it during his absence, she is equally guilty as her husband. The singularity of the case is, that the four prisoners were Crown witnesses on former occasions, and having tasted and partaken of the benefits derivable to such a class of persons, they actually planned this (and I dare say other conspiracies of a dangerous nature), more for the purpose of again getting into the pay of the Government than from any malicious motives towards the nobleman whose property was consumed. This, gentlemen of the jury, is the nature of the case, and I think we will satisfy you that the prisoners were guilty of all this. Witnesses having been examined, the Judge recapitulated the evidence, and, without leaving the box, the jury found a verdict of Guilty against all but Mary O'Regan. MR. O'CONNELL SUMMONED AS A WITNESS. The Cork Reporter of yesterday says :—" It has been com municated to us, from a respectable and well informed source, that Mr. O'Connell is to be examined as a witness in an im portant record case, connected with the property of the O'Sul livan family in the west of this county, to be tried in Cork at the approaching assizes, his evidence being considered indis pensable by counsel in the case."

Grove, Esq., of Shenston Park, near Lichfield, a vacancy was created in the Royal Household, which has just been filled up by her Majesty conferring this honourable and distin guished appo i n t m ent upon the Hon. Lucy Maria Kerr, the youngest - daughter of Colonel Lord Robert Kerr, the Secre tary to the Order of the Thistle, and the second cousin to the youthful Marquis of Lothian. BANKSIDE REGATTA. The twenty-sixth annual regatta for a new beat and some very excellent minor prizes, liberally subscribed by the resi dents of the Clink Liberty, Southwark, to the watermen who had never before won a boat at Bankside, came off yesterday, and was well contested. The attendance was certainly not very select, but if numbers can compensate at all for quality, the Bankside wager may lay first-rate claim to notice. Not a barge or inch of the shore was unoccupied, and many had absolutely ventured up the cranes which adorn the bank, in order to obtain a view of the race. The race was with six smilers in three heats, the distance being from Mason-stairs, down round a boat moored off the Phoenix Coal Wharf, up round Messrs. Horne's road, down again round the before mentioned boat, up again to the road, and finish off Thames street Stairs. FIRST HEAT. William Kelley, brown James Bush, yellow ... . Alfred Harris, pink Won easily. SECOND HEAT. Joint Hicks, red William Knight, green Josiah Cummins, blue Knight took the lead, and off Thames-street Stairs, foul ing the wherry that was moored there, Hicks shot by and maintained the lead. GRAND HEAT. The two first men ofeach of the two preceding heats rowed in this; Bush after a dozen strokes took the lead, closely fol lowed by Kelly, when, on rounding the flag-boat, Kelly took the first place and maintained it throughout, Busts pressing him closely, and making a capital race. Knight was third, eight lengths astern of the second man. A serious accident occured during the race. A man who had just lit his pipe in the tap-room of the Welsh Trooper, flung the paper down, when it set fire to the dress of a female who stood next to him, and she was in an instant enveloped in flame. Police-constable Ross, 86 M, was passing, and, running to her assistance, succeeded in extinguishing her clothes, not before the lower part of her dress was consumed, and her person much burnt, as also were the constable's hands, ST. JOHN'S, WESTMINSTER, REGATTA. An effort was made four or five years ago by some of the most influential residents of this parish to establish the re gatta on a very superior footing, and although for a season or two their endeavours were attended with very tolerable success, and an example worthy of imitation set, want of general patronage with other causes, induced those who had been most active to abandon the project. We had hoped that the excellence of the arrangements on these occasions, with the gratification exhibited by the body of subscribers, would have induced some gentlemen of standing in the parish to have again formed themselves into a committee and taken the control, but we apprehend more for the want of some two or three to set it on foot than any other cause, the collection and distribution has fallen upon the watermen themselves, who we understand have been tolerably well supported. The race was in three heats, with 16 free watermen, com prising those who ply at the Horseferry and the Middlesex side of Vauxhall-bridge ; the distance contested in each heat being from buoys off the Horseferry, up round a boat off Mills's, Thames Bank, down round a boat off the new Houses of Parliament, and back to the Horseferry. FIRST HEAT. W. Cussins, Vauxhall-bridge, R. Evans, Horseferry, yellow Thos. Coombes, Vauxhall-bridge, Edward Gardner, Horse ferry, white 2 William Dolwin, Horseferry, S. Chalk, ditto, green 3 T. Davis, Horseferry, J. Coombes, Vauxhall-bridge, black 4 The winners took the lead, and held it. It was a sharp and excellent race between the second and third pairs. SECOND HEAT. Joseph Royal, Vauxhall-bridge, IL Gardner, Horseferry, blue S. Bloomfield, Horseferry, T. Davis, jun., ditto, red 2 A. Bray, Millbank Pier, J. Goatley, Horseferry, stripes J. Piper, Horseferry, S. Rush, ditto, pink Stripes and blue went away with the lead, and the latter, in their desire to get the first place, having fouled the former, they were hampered by some craft that lay in the way, and red took the second place. GRAND HEAT. This consisted of the two winning boats of each of the two former heats : Royal and Gardner BlOomfield and Davis T. Coombes and Gardner The winners took the lead directly after the start and kept it, coining in first by some lengths. The race was respectably conducted throughout, and the men rowed very well. WOOLWICH REGATTA. The exceeding fineness of the weather yesterday, with the anticipation of good sport, induced a great number of the holiday folks to visit this popular place of resort, who, with the townspeople, made a very full attendance. The race was for a coat and badge—six scullers, in five heats ; the race ex tending the whole length of the town and back. The first heat was won by George Wright (pink). The second heat was won by Field (light blue). The third heat by Henry Jewitt (dark blue) and William Southgate (yellow). The fourth heat by light blue and dark blue. The grand heat was between the two last as winners of the preceding heat. Light blue took the lead and kept it, winning easily. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WINDSOR CASTLE AND PADDINGTON.—TWO engines, to be attached to special trains, have been commanded to be kept in constant readiness with their steam up, both by day and night, at the Paddington Terminus of the Great Western Railway, to start at five minutes notice for the Slough Station, for the purpose of conveying the great officers of state en route to Windsor Castle, upon their being summoned from town on the auspi cious and interesting occasion of the accouchment of her Ma jesty. A powerful alarum has just been fixed at the gal vanic telegraphic office at Paddington, communicating with the telegraph at Slough, for the purpose of arousing the attend ant whooleeps at the-office, in the event of a telegraphic ex press reaching the 'terminus from Windsor during the niglit. A trusty person has also been appointed to r in in attend ance at the office of the Slough Station thro out the whole of the night. It is computed that sage can be ex pressed by the aid of the telegraph from indsor Castle to Buckingham Palace in 25 minutes. • THE ALLEGED MURDER AT CHELSEA.—Last even ing, at six o'clock, Mr. Higgs, Deputy-Coroner for Westmin ster, resumed at the Spread Eagle, Thames-bank, the in quiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. E. Larking, aged twenty-three years, a block maker, of Queen street, Chelsea. The inquest-room was much crowded, as a report had been circulated that the deceased had been first robbed and afterwards thrown into the river. The evidence was of a conflicting and unsatisfactory character; but the medical testimony went somewhat to show that violence had been used towards the deceased. There was, however, no proof as. to how he had come by his death, or to show whether he had fallen or been thrown into the river; and the jury, therefore, returned an open verdict of " Found .drowned."

THE LATE EARL OF KINTORE.—HiS Lordship's health had been perceptibly declining for some time past, but the late melanchokfoccurrences in his family pressed heavily on his spirits, and sensibly injured his health. His death is very generally regretted, and to many his removal will not easily be made up. His word was always inviolably kept, and in the accuracy of his business habits he was equalled by few in any station in life, and could be surpassed by none. He was of the most benevolent disposition. Great as his charitable donations were known to be amongst the poor on his own estates, and in the neighbourhood where he lived, we have reason to know that his stated charities formed but a very small part of his benevolent exertions, which, from the secret manner he carefully observed in dispensing his bounty, will never be so fully known as the loss will be widely felt. In the sports of the field he took great delight, and as a bold and intrepid rider in the chase he had few equals ; but for some time back the state of his Lordship's health prevented him from taking part in this manly exercise, and latterly his pack was sold. llis funeral will, agreeably to his wish, be private. His Lordship was raised to the rank of a Bri tish Peer in 1838, and has left two sous by his second mar riage, the eldest of whom succeeds to the titles and family estates.— Culedon iait Mercury. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—Dr. Chas. Locock, first physician accoucheur to her Majesty, has arrived at Windsor, and taken up his residence at the house of the Rev. D. F.
