British empire, including the Indian possessions, would (create the greatest alarm among the agriculturists, and would create great confusion and uncertainty. His Right Honourable Friend opposite had said that the Government had been guilty of a want of foresight last year, in not being aware that, when they granted a boon to one colony, others would insist on having a similar one. Now the fact was that Government did foresee that, and when he (Lord Stanley) introduced the Canada Corn Bill, last year, he stated Clearly that he introduced it in conformity with a pledge that this country had entered into with Canada, and that it, therefore, must be considered an insulated case for Canada alone. On that occasion, he stated that the engagement was with Canada, and that only, and that the Government had no intention whatever of disturbing the existing corn-laws with respect to other colonies. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite then asked if it 'was intended to apply to Prince Edward's and other islands, and he (Lord Stanley) then distinctly stated that the course the Government had taken was in ac cordance with the engagements entered into. Now, was it wise, he would ask, to disturb an extensive settlement or arrangement for so unimportant an object as the motion of the Hon. Member for Gateshead ? When prices ranged high, the object of the Hon. Member would be obtained, because, if the price rose to 575., the duty would then amount to that sum which the Hon. Gentleman wished. He would not now enter further into the subject. It was a small and immaterial point. If it could be proved that from the colonies they could make up the deficiency of wheat at home, he should have thought he had made some case for his motion ; but, as it was, he thought a weaker case had not been made out by any Hon. Member. Mr: HAWES considered that the weakness of his Hon. Friend's case was its strength. The Noble Lord seemed to have completely overlooked the object of his friend and the justice of his question. He should re member that all he required was a -Committee on the subject, and considering, as he did, that that was essen - vial, he should vote for the motion. Mr. EWART felt convinced that no alteration could be made in the corn-law until some emergency arose that would be most injurious to the agriculturists. He thought they were bound to do what they could to promote the interests of India ; and he also was of opinion that some thing should be done for the trade in general. He felt convinced that the country had been too strongly imbued, by that band of philosophers the Anti-Corn-law League —(Laughter)—to be content with the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Gateshead.—(Laughter.) He thought they ought to follow up the motion of his Hon. Friend by demanding a repeal of the corn-laws altogether. " Mr. HUTT replied, alluding to the arguments used by the President of the Board of Trade, the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated that only a " microscopic quan tity of corn" could he imported from the colonies. Then he thought there was the less ground for alarm on the part of the agricultural supporters of the Govern ment. With respect to the assertion that no corn was likely to be imported from Australia, it should be re membered that not many years ago it was said that no wool was likely to be imported into this country from that colony, divided from us by fif teen thousand miles of ocean ; yet this country last year imported from that country no less than 8,000,0001b5. of wool. But what were they to think of a President of the Board of Trade who undertook to place: limits to human industry ?—(Hear hear.) All they asked was that the Government would give the colonies an opportunity of extending their sphere of enterprise.' It was their duty to legislate for the colonies as well as for this country, and it was therefore he com plained that the Noble Lord the Secretary fur the Colo nies had treated this subject entirely as an English ques tion. The President of the Board of Trade said that the colonies were not always in circumstances to be able to ex port corn ; no country on earth was so ; no country could always be blessed with plenty. But he maintained that generally speaking they were exporting countries. Colo nies in their infant state must of necessity import rather than export. Canada itself, from which so large a supply was derived, was once an importing colony. Whatever might be their decision, certain it was the matter could not end here, and they would at some future day regret their refusal in the latter hour of un availing repentance. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— _ For the motion 47 Against it Majority against the motion FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS. The Earl of LINCOLN moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better prevention of damage by fire. The Noble Lord merely moved for leave to introduce it without stating the provisions,which would come before the House in the future steps of the Bill.—Leave given. CHINA—THE LATE DR. MORRISON. Sir G. STAUNTON rose for the purpose of submit ting the motion of which he had given notice—" That this House will, on an early day, resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House to consider of the fol levying address to her Majesty ; that is to say, than an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that,. whereas the late Rev. Doctor Morrison, and his eldest son, the late John Robert Morrison, rendered eminent public services in China, the former for a period of twenty-six years, and the latter for a period of nine years, and successively fell a sacrifice to their severe ex ertions in the performance of their public duties ; and whereas the death of the latter individual was pronounced by his Excellency Sir Henry Pottinger, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China, in a public proclamation on the occasion of his decease, a positive national ca l am ity,' her Majesty be graciously pleased to direct a suitable provision to be made for the widow of the late Rev. Doctor Morrison, and for the other surviving mem bers_ of hi s f am il y; and to assure her Majesty that , this House will make good the same." He said he was very sensible that he incurred great re sponsibility in making this appeal to the House. He was sensible that such an appeal in favour of a private indiVidual ought not to be lightly hazarded. He could assure the House that he would not have undertaken the task if he had not the strongest conviction that this claim was of so strong a character, that it could not be neglected without reflecting dishonour and discredit on the nation. He could speak from his own personal ob servation, while serving in China, of the facts, which it would be his duty to submit to the House. The propo sition he had to bring forward was strictly in accord ance with the best precedents of their history. He would not adduce any of those precedents to show that it had been the policy of this country, when great and eminent services had been performed, when those who performed them had sacrificed their lives to give the fa milies who survived them a claim on the gratitude of the nation. He would shortly state the history of the two distinguished individuals whose case he then brought forward. Dr. Morrison went to China originally as a minister of the Gospel. He had no wish or desire for emolument or employ ment; all he desired was, that he might be permitted to exercise his sacred functions without interruption. But he soon possessed himself of information highly im portant to the East India Company, which he served most zealously for twenty-five years. At the same time, he made no mercenary compromise with his own princi ples. He did not abandon the sacred profession to which he had devoted his lift, but continued, to his last moments, as he had begun —a minister of the Gospel. He united to the most ardent religious zeal the still more rare quality of sound sense and discretion; so much so, that he was enabled to exercise these two offices without any detriment being sustained by either of them. He had accompan i ed the Embassy of Lord Amherst to Pekin as interpreter, without receiving any special remuneration for his services. Dr. Morrison had accomplished two great literary works, to which he would shortly direct the attention of the House. The first was a most elaborate work. It was a Chinese and English Dictionary. — (Hear, hear.) Th e E ast I n di a Company had considered these works of so much im portance, that they had granted a sum of 10,0001. towards defraying the expenses of printing it in China. If it was of so much importance at the time that only one port was open to us in China, it became of tenfold importance when we had four new ports opened to our commerce and our enterprise, and that work was now in the hands of every individual who was desirous of availing himself of the improved state of our commercial relations with China. That alone gave him a strong claim upon the gratitude of his country.---(Cheers.) The other was a work, the value of which could not be estimated in a pecuniary or a commercial point of view, but it was a work which had acquired for Dr. Morrison great celebrity throughout Europe, and had earned for him the heartfelt gratitude and admiration of a great body of persons in this country—he meant the translation of the Holy Scriptures into the Chinese language.—(Cheers.) This work, he trusted, would, through the blessing of Provi dence, lay the foundation of the introduction of the bles sings of Christianity and civilisation into that immense territory, by enabling its inhabitants —constituting' as they did, one-third of th e population of the world—to to 'read the word of God in their own language.—(Cheers.) At the end of 25 years after Dr. Morrison had entered the service of the East India Company, their charter expired, and Dr. Morrison would have been justified in retiring when he would have been entitled to a pension ; there was at that time A fund from which that pension would have been payable ; and if he had died in their service his widow would have been entitled to a pension. At that critical moment, however, his services were considered indispensable, and be consented to transfer those services from the East India Company to the Crown without ma ki ng any stipulations for himself whatever. The first act of Lord Napier, on his arrival in China, was to order Dr. Morrison to Canton, at an unhealthy season of the year, and when the Doctor was suffering from illness, to conduct that ill-advised nego tiation, to which he would not further allude. Dr. Mor rison fell a victim to the unhealthines s of the season in the course of a few days. Lord Napier followed him to the grave in about two months afterwards. He died in the performance of his public duties. He had lost his claim on the East India Company by the trans fer of his services to the Crown ; and by the abo lition of the fund from which that pension would have been paid. •No specific allowance was made by the Government to his widow and family, but they did that which was equivalent to the granting of pensions ; at least it would have ben so, had Provi dence spared the life of the son, whom they appointed to the situation which had been held by his highly-gifted father. This young man, although at that time only twAty years of age, performed the ditties which de volved upon him with singular ability and great zeal, but his bodily strength was not equal to the strength of his mind, and he had obtained leave of absence, for the pur pose of returning to England to recruit his health, when the seizure of the opium placed us in hostility with the Chinese, and, in consequence of the extraordinary crisis which then arose with regard to ourrelations with the Chinese, Dr. Morrison felt it his duty to forego his leave, and to remain in China. The war broke out, and the necessity of having on the spot a secre tary who was acquainted, not only with the language, but with the habits and manners THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1844. of the Chinese, became every day more important. Dr. Morrison, unfortunately for himself, but fortunately for his fame, and fortunately for the benefit of the English nation, remained. He lived to take an important part in the negotiations for the treaty of Nankin; and when it was recollected that Sir Henry Pottinger, although a man of great ability, was ignorant of the Chinese lan guage, the necessity of having by his side a man like Dr. Morrison would be quite evident. When the treaty was concluded, there was a general feeling throughout the whole of the Anglo-Chinese community that some honours and favours ought to be conferred on Dr. Mor rison; and Sir Henry Pottinger accordingly appointed him one of the Legislative Council of Hong-Kong. He was thus placed in a situation which would have enabled him to assist his father's family. He had while he lived remitted to them various small sums, and had given up the whole of his share of his father's patrimony to his sister. But while his family in England were congratulating themselves on his success, the cup of prosperity was suddenly dashed from their lips ; for, a few days after his appointment, he was seized with the fever of Hong-Kong, and fell a sacrifice to it.—(Hear, hear.) Sir Henry Pottinger had stated, in a proclama tion, that the loss of Dr. Morrison was a public and na tional calamity, and he trusted that it would be so felt by his Sovereign and his country; and in a private letter to him (Sir G.Staunton), Sir Henry Pottinger had said, speaking of Dr. Morrison, that no man living could sup ply his place.—(Cheers.) He submitted that he had made out a case for the consideration of the House. They were two individuals who had performed eminent services, who had sacrificed their lives in the cause of their country, and whose families, therefore, had a claim upon that country.—(Cheers.) He did not bring forward the case as one of destitution, except as far as regarded the sister - of Dr. Morrison, who was residing at Newcastle, and who he understood was in a destitute state ; but with regard to the rest of the family, although not in a state of destitution, he considered that their means were totally inadequate to maintain them in the station which they ought to occupy.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving his resolu tion. Dr. Bowring and Sir John Hobhouse rose at the same time, for the purpose of seconding it. Dr. Bowring, however, gave way. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE did not know if the forms of the House would permit the motion of the Hon. Ba ronet to be put without the consent of the Government. If they would, he begged to second the motion, for he could bear his testimony to the great and extraordinary services of Dr. Morrison.—(Cheers.) They had heard a statement of those services from the Ilon. Baronet who had just sat down ; and, if there was any one gen • tleman in that House, who more than another was capa ble of justly appreciating those services, it was the Hon. Baronet.—(Loud cheers.) He had hoped that the Government would have found some way of expressing their opinion of the eminent sevices of these gentlemen. After what had fallen from the Hon. Baronet, he would not add one word more to the nature of those services ; but if any one had read the beautiful memoirs of Dr. Morrison, he would there see the considerations which had induced him to continue in his useful—his charitable—he might add, his Christian career. The mantle of the father had descended on the son ; and if the forms of the House would permit of it he hoped that the appeal which had been made to the Right Hon. Baronet opposite, to the Government, and to the House, would not be made in vain. —(Cheers.) Sir ROBERT PEEL must, in the first place, admit, and he did so with the greatest pleasure, the justice of the eulogium which had been pronounced by the Right Hon. Baronet, and by the Hon. Gentleman, on the cha racters of Dr. Morrison and his son. They had both rendered eminent public services. —(Cheers.) They had both been remarkable for the fidelity with which they had performed their duties—(Cheers)—and those two literary works of Dr. Morrison, the father, to which the Hon. Gentleman had alluded, were works, he must say, which in the highest degree merited the public ap probation.—(Cheers.) Nothing could have been more agreeable to his own personal feelings than to have ac ceded to the motion ; but there were duties imposed upon public men, from the performance of which they must not shrink ; and he would ask them to consider what must be the consequence of the interference of the House with the granting of pensions to public ser vants. It had been the custom some years since to al low pensions to the widows and female relatives of those civil servants of the Crown, who had died in the per formance of a public duty, but that custom had, for some years past, been very properly discontinued.. No man could fill the situation which he, Sir R. Peel, filled without being aware how many cases were constantly pressed by the widows and relatives of public servants of the highest merit and distinction, whose petitions it was impossible to grant. In the whole range of re venue services no pension was allowed to the widow or relative of the deceased officer, even though he died in the service of his country. In the case of a clerk in a public office, a man who had discharged his duty faith fully and assiduously for forty or fifty years, and who might die from over exertion in the discharge of these duties, notwithstanding these claims not a single farthing was a ll owe d for his widow or rela tive. Parliament did not allow any provision for such persons. In the case of the army and navy the pension granted to officers who died in the public service was indeed very small, and the power very limited. Flag officers of the navy, after discharging their duty for many years, and who might havo died in the service of their country, could only hope for a pension not exceed ing 120/. a year for their widows. In the case of a cap tain in the Marines who might die in action, the provi sion fur his widow was limited to 200/. a year. In the civil service the clerks got liberal salaries, but it was expected they would themselves make provision for their widows and families. If the House once departed from the course hitherto acted upon, and established a pre cedent such as the present motion, if carried out, would involve, they might depend u p on it th a t t h ey wou ld f i nd it very difficult to resist the numerous and powerful ap plications which would be constantly poured in upon them. The House must take a comprehensive view of the question and must look to the future. It became his duty to state to the House the circumstances of the present case, and if there were anything to warrant them in departing from the ordi nary usage. The Crown was not allowed more than 1,2001. a-year at present for the purpose of granting pensions, which was conferred on literary and scientific men, and with the greatest possible regard to real merit. He (Sir R. Peel) considered this allowance very scanty, but it was the allowance of Parliament to the Crown, after mature and serious deliberation.—(Hear, hear.) Mrs. Morrison was the widow of Dr. Morrison, who died in 1834. She was not the mother of Dr. Mor rison who lately died in the performance of public duty in China. The only immediate relative was the sister, to whom the Hon. Gentleman had referred. Mrs. Mor rison was the widow of the father—the late Mr. Morri son was the son of a former wife. Mrs. Morrison was already in the receipt of a pension of 2001. a-year, which had been conferred on her when the power of the Chi nese establishment had been transferred from the East India Company to the Imperial Government. She had been previously in the receipt of 1251. a-year from the East India Company. She was allowed 251. a-year each for the maintenance of her five children, which pension of 25/. a-year would continue until these children reached the age of eighteen years. The salary of the elder Dr. Morrison was 1,3001. a-year, and the salary of his son, who had lately died, 1,2001. a year, but the East India Company and the Govern ment were of opinion, that the eminent services of those distinguished individuals, entitled their relatives to a liberal allowance. Mrs. Morrison was now in the re ceipt of 2001. a year herself, and 251. a year for each of her five children. Nor had the case of her family been overlooked by the Government. The Earl of Aberdeen had appointed her eldest son to an Assistant-Secretary ship in China, of 162 L a year, lately increased to 3001., a year, and with a prospect of increase to 6001. a year. —(Hear.) Lord Aberdeen signified to Mrs. Morrison, that as soon as her second eldest son was fit for a situation he would be forthwith appointed to one with a competent salary. He thought he had con clusively shown that the Crown had not been in any way indifferent to the interests of the family of Dr. Mor rison, and he believed that if the rejected claims of the widows and relatives of several distinguished public ser vants were brought into comparison with the treatment of the family of Dr. Morrison, the contrast would be very favourable to the latter. The Government were anxious to assist the family of the late lamented gentle man to the best of their ability, but, notwithstanding that it gave him much pain to resist the motion, not only on the ground of a personal respect for the character of the lamented deceased; but of the eminent public ser vices he had rendered, still, filling the office he did, and recollecting the pernicious and troublesome precedent such a concession would establish, he must resist the motion. Mr. LYNDSAY was understood to say that he would support the motion. Dr. Morrison was not only a bene factor to his country but to humanity, and after his immediate wants had been provided for by the East India Company, he established a college in Malacca, for the instruction of foreigners in the Chinese language. At the age of eighteen Dr. Morrison was appointed to act as interpreter to the East India Company, and most ably did he perform the duties of that situation. Few men possessed not only so good a knowledge of the Chinese language, but few were so th oroug hl y ac quainted w i th the feelings and habits of the Chinese people. lie not not only acted as interpreter, but as the confidential friend of Sir H. Pottinger, and he hoped the Government would not overlook the claims of his widow. Sir G. STAUNTON replied. The only pr ov i s i on which Mrs. Morrison at present en io •dN i vas 2004 the son. He a year. This was irrespective of the salary 3 eo believed that the health of the son had n suffered iu China, and it was probable he was i his way to this country. The prospect from this on was, therefore, not very cheering. He would how ever leave the subject in the hands of the Govern ment, confident that the Right lion. Gentleman would do what was right. He would not press his motion to a division. Sir R. PEEL said that there were before him, at present, 100 cases of other widows, whose relatives performed important services to the country. Justice should be done to all parties as far as it was in their power. - Mr. HINDLEY wished to know whether any lands would be appropriated by the Government for the Morri son College. Lord STANLEY said the subject was at present in the hands, of the Governor of Hong-Kong, and till ho received his report he could not say anything upon it. The motion was then withdrawn. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS. On the motion of Sir R. PEEL, the following Mem bers were nominated as the Select Committee on Con trOverted Elections:—Lord John Russell, Lord Gran ville Somerset, Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. Wilson Patten, Sir George Grey, Viscount Sandon, The O'C onor D on, Mr. Pakington, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Kogg, Mr , Charles Wood, Sir William Heathcote, Mr. Loch, Mr. Wynn and Sir Thomas Fremantle. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT-31ARTIAL ON THE ENGINEER OF THE PRO NETHEUS.—The Court-martial which we announced last week as ordered on Mr. Hand, the second engineer of the Prometheus, Lieutenant Commander Pasco, was held yesterday at Portsmouth on board the St. Vincent., 120 flag-ship, Rear- Admiral Hyde Parker, Superintendent of the Dock yard, acting as President, and the following officers composed the Court:—Captain Henderson, C. 8., K.H., of the Victory; Captain Sir T. Hastings, of the Excel lent; Captain R. F. Rowley, of the St. Vincent; and Commander Wilcox, of the Victory. G. L. Greetham. Esq., officiated as Judge Advocate. The charge was for gross neglect of duty by having allowed the water in one of the boilers to get considerably below its proper level, and for not having taken the proper steps to ar rest the mischief thereby incurred. Lieut. Pasco, the commander of the Prometheus, in the course of his evidence, stated that he was aroused from his cabin on the morning of the 28th Feb., then off Madeira, by the stopping of the vessel, and on going to inquire the reason he encountered an offensive smell of something burning, which on investigation he discovered proceeded from the engine-room, and from the feltusually placed between the boilers, which he found had been ignited by the port boiler being, in the absence of water, nearly red-hot. On interrogating Mr. Hand, the engineer in charge, he, in excuse for his neglect, said he had dis covered the state of the boiler, but was so frightened that he did not know how to act. Lieutenant Pasco, then, on ascertaining the extent of the damage, and finding it impossible to get it repaired at Madeira, de termined to put back, and on arriving at Devonport, represented the circumstances to the Commander-in- Chief, Admiral Sir D. Milne, Bart., G.C.8., from which port he was ordered to Portsmouth. Mr. Frazer, the first engineer, and Mr. Wallace, the second master, corroborated the evidence of the com mander, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer of the factory at Woolwich, gave as his opinion that the damage sustained by the boilers was the result of careless ness and neglect, and although the boilers were of the tubular principle, they required no greater skill in their management than did the old ones. They could not be repaired in less than a month, and would cost from 3001. to 4001. In his defence the prisoner called two witnesses, one of whom was an apprentice on board, who proved nothing in extenuation. The Commander, however, and Mr. Lloyd, gave the prisoner a good character both as to con duct and qualifications. The Court found him Guilty, and adjudged— " That the prisoner be dismissed her ➢Majesty's ser vice, and that he is forthwith dismissed accordingly." THE NAPIER FAMILY. Dashing and clever fellows, and alert alike with sword and pen, are these Napiers, one and all of them. There is the stout Commodore, who, since he was the bulk of a midge or a middy, has kept before his eyes Westminster Abbey and a duke dom, and who, by doing so, has become at least already a count and a hero. There is the General, conqueror of Sinde, and a true chip of the same block, as his deeds show. There is the Colonel, among a hundred rivals, as yet, and ever to be, the historian, par excellence, of the great Peninsular wars. And here is a scion of the same stock, a Lieutenant : -Colonel, whom the family energy has spirited on to expend his leisure hours, in many a distant land, in the warfare of the chase, sometimes rendered pretty serious business by the objects of it being tigers, • wild-boars, and others of your " fearful wild-fowls," disposed on occasion to die real "game." We might mention others, too, that are note-worthy among these now extant Napiers. Napiers, do we say ? Perhaps the word should rather be Scotts. The fathers of the gallant men alluded to branched off from the common parent tree of Merchiston, hut whether or not they did so after it had been grafted upon the stem of Thirlestane, is what we are in some doubt about. To speak more plainly, the pro per paternal name of the baronial house of Napier, since the commencement of the eighteenth cen tury, has been Scott, Sir Walter Scott of Thirles tane having then married the heiress of the Napiers ; and it is hinted in the Life of Sir Walter Scott, that the Lords Napier now represent the male line of the house of Scott, the Buccleuch branch being descended from a female. The meaning of this genealogical gossip is, that these heroic modern Napiers of ours, besides sharing the blood of the illustrious inventor of the logarithms, are probably the true representatives of the bold border-riders who " rose from Branxholm readily" in the days of old. Queen Elizabeth once asked the chief of the Scotts how he dared to break into her dungeon-for tress of Carlisle. " What is there, Madam, that a man may not dare ?" was the reply. That sort of ancestry would well fit the victors of Acre and Sinde. —Scotsman. [The preceding notice refers to Colonel Napier's " Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands," and gives on the whole a correct genealogy of the Napiers. The author of the work, however, does not belong to that family; but has been adopted by Sir Charles Napier, and is the son of his wife by a former marriage.] GATHERINGS EXTRAORDINARY, 1 1 A venerable pair, man and wife, and both highly respectable people, died lately in Galloway, within a day of one another, whose effects, if brought to sale, would furnish matter for one of the most curious ca talogues that was perhaps ever submitted by an au ' tioneer to the attention of the public ; and we can easily imagine how our crack artiste in that line, Mr. George Dunbar, would luxuriate over so unique an employment. Amidst the popular reports abroad on the subject, it is difficult to arrive at the exact truth ; but, as we have taken some pains to inquire into the facts of the case, the following will be found a close approximation :—Deposits of silver coin, secreted in places where no one would have ever dreamed of look ing.for such artteles ; one parcel, carefully wrapped in a piece of rag, found in the corner of a lumber drawer ; others in paper crammed into an old bas ket, or hid in outhouses, or some equally unpromising corner. These coins appear to have been shut out from the light of day for a number of years, from the different values they represent, such as Is. 6d., Is. 3d., 2s. 6d., and 55., and had become, i n conse quence, not only tarnished, but nearly as black as soot itself. There were also gold coins, foreign as well as British, of very small values up to 51., with a great variety of different articles, the fancy of the party appearing to have been to have a something of everything. Of these let the following specimens suffice : Eight richly ornamented riding. whips, 18 unbroken pieces of linen, 30 pairs of good sheets, 20 dozen of towels, about 250 rich coloured silk handkerchiefs, three dozen thimbles of divers metals, 30 pairs of scissors, and one gold pair ditto, 100 pair of silk stockings, 30 gowns (made and unmade), 16 women's bonnets, a lot of shoemakers' waxed threads, with bristles attached, coffin-lacing, and a - great number of bottles of wine and spirits of all qualities. Part of these were found in an old tea-chest, supposed to contain nothing but rubbish ; but when the assistant to a professional gentleman, engaged in inventorying the effects, was directed to throw it out, he drew from their hiding places seventeen bottles of wines and spirits, some of the former Champagne. But there was an endless army of other nick-nacks, an enumeration of which would occupy too much space, if not exhaust the patience of the general reader. The husband, in this case, was a great pigeon -fancier for many years, and possessed a very large col lection of these birds, which he regularly fed and cleaned with his own hands, and which in cluded nearly all the varying breeds known in the world ; and, although a lengthened period has inter vened, we still recollect him pointing out a curicus fact in natural history—viz., that every time the turtle-dove coos, it lifts its right foot. And that such is lite rally the fact, was proved by ocular demonstration. He had also a number of fine canaries ; but all his feathered favourites had been dispersed, since his death, among friends and acquaintances residing within the locality which knew him so long and well, but shall now know him no more. Many of the doves were exceedingly beautiful, and even valu able to persons desirous of forming a collection on an extended scale.--Dumfries Courier. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE AME RICAN PRESIDENT. Although, as we have already remarked, and are happy on inquiry to find, that no accident occurred at the funeral last Saturday, that of the parties killed by the explosion of the Princeton gun, or, indeed, in the course of the day, a narrow escape was expe rienced by the President of the United States, who, in returning from the Congress Burial Ground in a carriage, with his son, Mr. John Tyler, had his life jeopardied and saved in a manner almost providential. It seems the horses attached to the carriage took fright, or started at the foot of the Capitol, and galloped off at a furious rate along Pennsylvania avenue, which a t th e t i me was crowded with hack s an d vehicles of every description, and on horseback lhvean we ndonsawfoot, the returning from as with the utmost rapidity it passed Seventh street, the dan ger o f i ts coming in collision w ith o th er carriages seemed imminent ; but the horses, although galloping at the top o f th e i r speed, fortunately were kept in a pretty straight course along our broad avenue, where there was r oom enough for other horses and carriages to get out of the way . T he horses in the President's carriage continued th e i r course at full speed, notwithstanding every effort of the driver, assisted by Mr. John Tyler, jun., to stop them. When the carriage reached a point oppo s it e Gallabrun's European Hotel, a coloured man for tunately succeeded in stopping the horses, and thus . the President, Mr. John Tyler, jun., and the driver were most seasonably and happily rescued from their perilous situation.—National Intellivncer. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, March 26. The House sat to-day to hear writs of error and ap peals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. THE STOCRTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY V. BARRETT. This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer Chamber, affirming upon a writ of error there a judgment given in favour of the defendant, in error, by the Court of Common Pleas upon an action for money for the carriage of coal along certain parts of the line of the railway from Stockton upon-Tees. The arguments occupied their Lordships the whole day, and the House postponed its judgment in conse quence of the absence of the Lord Chancellor, who, it was understood, was obliged to attend a Cabinet Council. SHERIFFS' COURT, March 26. BROWNING V. WARRINGTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a doctor, to recover from the defendant, a medical lamp manufacturer, the sum of 131. 15s. 6d. for medicines and professional advice, to which the defendant urged, as a set-off, the value of an ex pensive lamp, supplied to the defendant's son, to the amount of 2/. 2s. 6d., thus reducing the amount to 11/. 13 s . ; an d th e jury, believing the lamp, with alterations which had been made in it, to be of that value, they gave a verdict for the defendant. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Kingston, March 26. The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened on Monday. There was no Winter Assize in this county, and the criminal business is, therefore, rather heavy ; there being forty prisoners for t r i a l. O n t h e Civil Sde, seventy causes are entered, five of which are to be disposed of by special juries. Both Courts were opened this morning for the dis patch of business.' The Lord Chief Justice presiding on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown Court. CROWN COURT. The grand jury having been sworn, Mr. Baron ALDERSON proceeded to address them, and he observed that there were only one or two cases on the calendar that would require any observations to be made by the Court respecting them. The first he would allude to was, a charge which they must all ap proach with the utmost anxiety, in which a person was charged with murder, and it appeared that the offence, whether amounting to murder or not, arosa out of a struggle with per sons employed for the preservation of game. He had always felt it to be his duty in every case where persons were accused of attacking or resisting gamekeepers, to make a very broad line between resistance to lawful authority and a mere act of poaching, and he should feel that he had not done his duty if he did not draw a great line between such cases, and that the blood of those who fell in such conflicts would, to a great extent, be upon his head if he did not punish with the full severity of the law persons who were clearly convicted of re sistance to lawful authority in such cases. In the pre sent instance the question for the jury to consider was, whether the deceased met his death through the resistance of the party accused to the lawful authority which he exercised, and no matter what might have been the character of the struggle which took place, if the jury believed that the prisoner caused the death in resisting the lawful acts of the game keeper, the offence would amount to murder. If, however, it should appear that the deceased had ex ceeded his authority, or that he had used threats towards the prisoner, which the law would not justify, in that case the • offence would not amount to murder. His Lordship observed that it appeared by the depositions that certain threats bad been made use of, and he said that it was not competent for persons, in the situation of game-keepers, to make threats of violence, and to kill persons whom they might consider guilty of an 'offence ; but if it should appear that these expressions were morqly made use of during the struggle, he was of opi nion that the offence would still amount to murder. His Lordship then said he regretted to see by the calen der that a charge of a most disgusting character was at tributed to certain inmates of an establishment, where, above all others, he thought good order ought to be kept, viz., a union workhouse ; but he felt compelled to say that, in the present instance, it had been the scene of the grossest profligacy. Whether this arose from any error in the management of the establishment, of course he was unable to say, but ho could only express his re gret at the result, and he trusted that if any of the gen tlemen whom he was addressing were resident in, or conected with the district in question, that they would do all that laid in their power to prevent such disgraceful proceedings in future. James Gadsden, 21, a young man of respectable appear. ante, and described in the calendar as a builder, was in dicted for stealing a mare, chaise, and harness, the pro perty of Thomas May. Mr. Charnock conducted the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a livery-stable keeper, in the Southwark-bridge-road, and in the beginning of the month of February the prisoner went to the stable of the prosecutor, and represent. ing himself to be Mr. North, a builder in the Cornwall-road, hired the mare, chaise, and har ness, for the purpose, as he said, of going to Greenwich. He did not return that night, but the next day he went again to the prosecutor, and said that the bad weather had prevented him from coming home as he promised, and he then produced some plans which, he said, referred to buildings he had in progress in the Kent-road, and that he wished to hire the horse and chaise for a month. The prosecutor told him he would not let it to him unless he gave him some references, and he then went away, promising to bring the horse home at seven o'clock the same night. In quiries were then made, and it was ascertained that his story was false from beginning to end; and it was at length discovered that the horse and chaise had been placed in pawn with Mr. Jones, an auctioneer, in Leices ter-street, who had advanced the prisoner 121. upon it; and it appeared that he gave Mr. Jones a document, whereby he empowered him to sell all the property, un less the money was returned to him by a certain day. The prisoner in his defence declared that it was a bona fide transaction, and that he wanted to have the horse for a month for the purposes of his business. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said; the only question for the jury was, whether the prisoner really intended to have the horse and chaise and return it, or whether the hiring was merely a device to get it into his possession in order that he might afterwards convert it to his own use. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Henry Stevens, 22, and Henry Grenville, 19, were charged with a burglary in the dwelling -house of Thomas Mickalls, and stealing some silver spoons, and articles of wearing apparel, his property. Mr. Banbury prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor is a watchmaker at Reigate, and on the night of the rob bery, he went to bed about eleven o'clock, having previ ously ascertained that all the doors were properly secured. He was awoke in the night by hearing a noise in the house, and he went down stairs, but finding the street-door safe, he again went up to bed. In a short time he saw a light shine up the staircase, and heard the footsteps of men on the stairs, but upon his calling out " Who' s there ?" the light was extinguished, and he heard the men make off. On going down stairs he found the lower part of the house had been ransacked, and a good appeared that the part o f a centre btdhietia.el v of exs b p he r a o dp p rl e o se r f t et y cau t a ht o k ar e t n gb ea a hl w , ti a d y e a , ,n ; a a na n dl d a ant o i t immediately, and proceeded, in company with a constable, named Wickman, in pursuit of the thieves. Upon ar- Hying at the Black Horse, on Reigate-hill, they came up with the prisoners, one of whom was without a hat, and had a black silk-handkerchief tied round his head, and also carrying a bundle. Upon the constable and the prosecutor coming up both prisoners darted off, at the same time throwing down a bundle, which was found to contain a coat that had been stolen from the prosecutor's house. They were pursued, and both of them eventually secured, one of them in a wood, lying upon his face. When before the Magistrates at Reigate one o f the prisoners said he k new not hi ng about the robbery ; and the othe r sa id th a t as t h ey were walking along the road they met two strange men, one of whom borrowed a hat of him, and gave him the property, which turned out to be stolen, in exchange. The jury found both prisoners Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY. ) GUILDHALL. John Jones, anothernereber of the swell mob, who com mitted, during the past week, so many daring depredations on the property of passengers in the crowded thoroughfares of the City, was brought before Alderman Hughes, charged with assisting to pick the pocket of Henry Chapman, a clerk to a wine merchant in Little Tower.street. William Wittingham stated that about half-past two' o'clock yesterday afternoon, whilst casually passing through_ Fleet-street, he saw the prisoner, in company with fou r others of the sw e ll mo b , and, thinking that they were about to commit a robbery, he watched them nal , rowly, and he distinctly saw one of them walk up to a gentleman, and, taking hold of • his coat-tail, take out with his left hand a pocket-book, which was passed on to two others of the fraternity, who stood by, and afterwards to the prisoner, who put it into his breast pocket, and walked away. Witness followed the prisoner to the corner of Farringdon.. street, and on taking hold of him he threw the pocket-book down. Mr. J. Phillips, who was in company with the fret witness, corroborated his statement. Mr. Henry Chapman proved the pocket-book to be his, and the prisoner, who made a very lame defence, wag corn. mitted to take his trial. UNION-HALL. James Hurley, belonging to a very daring gang of•thieves, infesting the south-side of the river, and who has been already tried and convicted of felony, was charged with rob bing a sailor on the preceeding night. Isaac James, a sailor, stated that he came ashore last night, and on leaving a public-house in Tooley-street he was 'at tacked by the prisoner and three other men at the top of Vine-yard. They pinioned him, and while he was held in that position by three of his assailants, the prisoner rifled his pockets of all that he had in them, and then they ran away, and escaped in the intricacies of that part of the town. Complainant, however, had an opportunity of identifying his assailants by the light of the gas-lamp, and soon afterwards the prisoner was taken into custody. It having been stated that the prisoner was tried and con victed at the Central Criminal Court, the Magistrate com mitted him for trial. CLERKENTVELL. Charles .Jackson, a powerfully built man, dressed in " seedy" black garments, was charged with the following oonduct : Police-constable Roberts, 101 E, being on duty in Bruns• wick-square on the previous night, was addressed by two gentlemen, who told him that the prisoner had been follow ing them about everywhere, for half an hour previously; they begged of the policeman to prevent his progress. The gentlemen had no sooner left the officer, than the prisoner came up to him, said he was an officer of the E division him self, and had been sent out to watch those on duty. The officer adyised him to go away, but ho followed the officer ill the same way as he had followed the gentlemen, and conti- , ined to do so for a quarter of an hour. He attempted to evade him, by turning down narrow lanes and dark court-- ways, but all in vain. The hideous creation of Frankenstein never followed his maker more closely. Remonstrance and threats being alike useless, the officer removed him to the station-house. Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner to accountfor his conduct? The prisoner, who seemed heartily sorry for his conduct, said he had been drinking rather freely with some friends on the previous night, and the liquor had the extraordinary effect above described on his imagination. The worthy Magistrate discharged him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Very considerable excitement was caused in the immediate neighbourhood of this Court, and a vast crowd of persons assembled in front of the office, in consequence of its being known that the examination of a set of gamblers would take place. It appears that the capture of them was not effected without much tact and stratagem. Mr. Superintendent Baker of the C division, accompanied by a strong body of the police, proceeded last evening between eight and nine o'clock, and, in pursuance of an order from the Commis sinners, effected an entrance into the house No. 16, the corner of Leicester-place and Leicester-square, where, after much difficulty and confusion, they succee d e d iu taking into cus tody twenty-eight persons, amongst them the owner of the premises, and three persons aiding and assisting him in the conducting and management of the house. They also seized the bank, amounting to abeut 11/., a roulette table, hazard ditto, 535 bone counters, seven money rakes, three bank boxes, and various other gambling implements. The house has long been an intolerant nuisance to the neighbourhood. john Harlowe, John Lang, Louisßernard, a Frenchman, and Luke Brown, were first placed at the bar; Harlowe being charged as the owner and keeper of the house, and the others with aiding, assisting. &c. Harlowe was defended by a gen tleman from the office of Mr. Flower of Hatton-gardon. Harlowe at present stands indicted at the Middlesex Ses sions for a similar offence. The charges were conclusively proved against the defendants by Mr. Horsford, the principal officer of the Mendicity Society, who was expressly em ployed by the Police Commissioners on the occasion, and who on a previous evening obtained admission into the house in disguise, and was consequently enabled to establish against each of the plaintiffs the particular acts which he witnessed, while the play was proceeding, during the time he remained in the house. Harlowe was fined 501., or three months' imprisonment in Westminster Bridewell and hard labour. The others were amerced in 25/. each, or six weeks' imprisonment. Some of the remaining defendants, charged with having been found in the house without lawful excuse, were fined 405., or fourteen days' imprisonment, and the rest were discharged. The fine imposed on Harlowe was immediately paid, as were also several of the others in the course of the day, About a fourth of the whole number, not being able to mus ter the amount required, were sent to gaol in pursuance of their sentence. WORSHIP-STREET . A tall military-looking man, named William Spurrell alias Wigram, waas charged before Mr. Broughton on snspicion of having been concerned with two other persons, now in cus tody, named James Martin and Mary Spurrell, in stealing a large quantity of valuable shawls and silks, the' property of some person at present unknown. - Evidence was now given as to the prisoner's movements, aliases, and apprehension. In his defence he said that his real' name was Wigram, which was his mother's, he being the natural son' of a gentle man in Essex, named Spurrell. • He had assumed the firm of Wigram and Co. for the sake of appearances, not dreaming of any wrong. Having a bill coming d ue on Saturday, he said he had ordered his family to pledge goods to raise the money, and all would tarn out correct in the end, &c. Mr. BROUGHTON said the case was involved in deep suspi cion, and he should remand the prisoner for further examina tion on Wednesday, but would take bail for his appearance, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 100/. each. , ,• • . • The prisoner declared his inability to find the bail, and was removed. LAMBETH-STREET. A middle-aged female, named Mary Furley, was placed within the felons' • bar, before Mr. Norton, on a - charge of murder, in having caused the death of George Furley, her infant son, aged eighteen months, and also with having attempted the additional crime of suicide by endangering her own life. The wretched woman, who appeared to be 'la bouring under the deepest mental anguish as well as bodily suffering, was accommodated with a chair in the dock, and in addition to this it was found necessary to support her during the investigation. • The first witness called was Mr. Thomas Gardener, of the Commercial Coal-wharf, adjoining the Regent's Canal, in the Mile-end-road, who deposed that on the pieceding night, about nine o'clock, he was alarmed by' the violent barking of a deg in the yard, and in consequence went into the wharf adjoining the Regent's Canal. ; On reaching the edge of the water he saw something floating, and he in stantly laid hold of a boat-hook and drew it towards the bank. He then discovered it to be the prisoner, and as soon as he had got her to the shallow water she exclaimed— " Oh, my child ! my child !" Supposing from this excla mation that her child was also in the water, he (Mr. Gar dener) released the boat-hook from her - clothes and drew it alongside of her in the water, and in doing-so he brought on shore the body of her child, who appeared lifeless at the time. He however took it in his arms, and carried it as quick as possible to the house of his uncle, the New Globe Tavern, near the bridge, and placed it without delay in a warm bath. A medical gentleman who 'had been sent for had promptly attended, and declared that no better means could be adopted for its resuscitation than that resorted to, but'it proved inef fectual. Police-constable Henry Cottin, said that .he had been called in to Mr. Gardener's premises on the evening before, to take the prisoner into custody, and on her way to the sta tion• house she said she had something very heavy on her mind, and that she threw herself into the canal with her child, whose name was George, in her arms,: and. that she regretted exceedingly the gentleman had rescued her, as her sufferings must be greater than ever. The prisoner entered into a long statement. She said that she had been in Bethnal-green workhouse for about twelve months, and made complaints that her children had been taken from her, and not well treated ; that she left the workhouse; suffered much, and rather than return was ready to endure any extremity ; that she was bewildered by her sufferings, having been much better off in her time, &c. Her mind was evidently affected. Mr. NORTON, after complimenting Mr.' Gardener upon his promptness and humanity, remanded the prisoner for a future day, and desired that a note should be appended to the com mittal that she should be taken particular care of. CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. Baker, the coroner, and a jury assembled at the New Globe Tavern, Mile-end- roa d, t o i nqu i re into the circumstances attendant on the death of George Purley, aged one year and ten months, who was drowned by its wretched mother on Sunday night, in the Regent's Ca nal, and for which offence she now stands charged. The first witness called was Mr. Thomas. - Gardener, who had acted with such promptitude and humanity in receiving the mother, and endeavouring to resuscitate the deceased; but his evidence scarcely differed from that given by him before the magistrate at Lambeth street on the day before, and which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. The next witness was Henry Cotton, K 361, and his evidence was also similar to that which has appeared. Sergeant Harrison, K 15, deposed that he was at the station-house on Sunday evening, when the mother of the deceased had been bro ug ht th ere , an d s h e then corn plained of great distress of mind. He then cautioned her against saying anything in his presence which might have a tendency to injure her, as ho should -have to re peat it in another place, and it would be used in evidence against her. She replied that she might as well tell him as anybody else, and then proceeded to state that, her distress was brought on by the ill-usage she and her children had received at Bethnal-green Union; that her child was all over sores, and that his head had been shaved as often as five times,. and that sooner than re turn to the workhouse she would rather die, or remain in a prison. She also said that she had thrown herself into the water, and that she wished they had left . her alone to go with her child, for that in that case her suf ferings would be at an end. She said the child's name was George; and that his father, who was a hair dyer,- was dead about two years. She further admitted that she had been a married woman, but that her husband had been transported, fifteen years ago, for " defacing " (i. e. sweating) the current coin, and that she subse quently resided with the father of her two children. Mary Bullen the wife of a sailor residing at' No. 2, Bath-street, Spitalfields, deposed that she had known the mother of the deceased for some years, from her living with a man named Charles Blackett; 'Who was the father of her two children. On Wednesday last she came to her (witness's) house with her two chil dren, and remained there until Sunday morning, when she went out, taking the deceased with her. She cora. plained of the treatment she experienced at the Bethnal green Union-house, and f requent l y declared that rather than return there both herself and her children should have a watery grave. She (the mother of the deceased) admitted having received a trifle from the guiirdians the workhouse, but said she had been robbed of it soon after. On. Sunday morning she (witness) gave Mrs. Purley a cup of coffee, she herself being without the vbistv,of getting anything for breakfast, and she then ,gaked about drowning herself and her baby; and soon fitness left Abe house with the deceased i n h er arms. The t ifitness invonclusion saidthat. the -second child, w hi c h was in Auatoining room, was in a very bad state, having ;great number of sores' on its -head and diff erent parts oflia body. Mi.. New, a surgeon, gave it as his decided opinion 41341 t the deceased had died from drowning. • he CORONER was here about to sum up the evidence, when the master of Bethnal-green W or kh ou s e 'r e que sted to make a fewremarks. :He said that the mother of th e , 'deceased and ler , two illegitiniate children had been admitted. into the workhouse on February, 1843; and remained theie until last Wednesday, when she was discharged, at. her own request. -He was, he said, pre, pared with` ample proof that, while in the workhouse, she and her children had been treated with the greatest kindness; that the guardians, on her leaving, had given her all she requested ; and that, in fact, there was noti a word of truth in what she had stated. He also said he would be able to prove, by several witnesses, that the Mother of the deceased had frequently expressed her fixed determination to destroy this child. The CORONER, in summing up, clearly defined the case, and the jury, without hesitation, returned aierdict of Wilful Murder against the mother. PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS AT DOVER.—WC un derstand that the Earl of Guilford, the noble proprietor of the Frith Farm, near the Castle, is about to apply to Parliament for a private Act to enable him to let a portion of the valley on lease for building purposes; and that plans for the erec tion of splendid terraces, said to be equal in design and mag nitude to any in the kingdom, have been prepared, as also 'for detached villas; altogether, nearly 1,500 residences are contemplated to be formed on this delightful spot. It is also, we believe, part of the plan to make another outlet from the town, into the Deal road, pass the Castle Jetty, by which the Castle-hill may be avoided, and the distance to De a l consider ably lessened. We hope to see the plans of the Noble Earl carried out, as we feel convinced it will prove a good specu lation.—Dover Telegraph. INFANTICIDE.—At a late hour on Monday Mr. Baker , concluded an inquest, adjourned from S aturday last, at the I Ship, Farmer-street, New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, on the body of a newly-born female infant, the illegitimate offspring of a young female named Julia Scales. The body was found in a water-closet. _ The jury, after a consultation of three hours , and a half, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Julia Scales, and the coroner issued his warrant for the committal . ; of the woman to take her trial at Newgate as soon 48 she is in A fit state to be removed.
