VERY SECRET DISPATCH of COUNT POZZO Di BORGO. (From the Portfolio, Nos. VIII. and IX.—Continued from The Sun of Saturday.) PRUSSIA. Prussia appears to have announced her policy, by the con duct she has pursued, and the attitude she has already taken. Desirous of pre serv i ng p eace , she would, I think, see with satisfaction the end of the struggle between Russia and Turkey ; but she takes care not to provoke it by any step likely to incommode the Imperial Cabinet, and has - pronounced herself against those of this description, pro jected by the Court at Vienna. Her attitude, her lan guage, her demonstrations, have, until now, been favourable to Russia, and the fear of seeing her unite with us in an extreme case, overawes Austria, and serves to France as an encouragement to confirm her in the favourable sentiments she evinces towards us. The Imperial Cabinet has, then, the greatest interest in a ttaching, as it has done, that of Berlin to itself, in cultivating it, in accustoming it to see that if Austria and England would put the existing terri torial statu quo in peril, by an attack upon Russia, his Prussian Majesty, in making common cause with her, would and advantages he could not hope to find elsewhere. The confidential note which your Excellency communi cated to me by your last despatches, contains the germs of this system ; we have only, therefore, now to tend their growth, and, as it were, to fertilize them, so that they may be ready to develope themselves, when the necessity shall arrive. _ _ In my whole intercourse with the French Cabinet, I at tach myself to maintain it in friendly relations with that of Berlin. Its representative, the Baron de Werther, applies himself equally to this end, in the most zealous manner. It might, perhaps, be wise and useful to familiarize Prussian policy, with the idea, that if events should present the oc casion for aggrandisement, France, on her side, cannot compromise herself, and take the field without an object. I am persuaded, that, in the event of the three Powers, Rus sia, Prussia, and France, coalescing, the latter would exact nothing which would be disproportioned to her sacrifices and to her importance, or which could give just cause of alarm to Prussia. . When I trace these combinations, M. le Compte, it is with the hope that they may never become necessary : the unaccountable conduct of Prince Metternich has forced us to seek, in such great changes, the means of thwarting the general league that he labours to form against Russia, and to avert the direct blows which he would aim at her . When the question is reduced to self-defence, all means arc not only permitted, but commanded, by duties flowing from a higher source—the safety and preservation of the State. The general tendency of the observation which I have just submitted to your Excellency,indicates the conclusions to which lam about to come. The close of the campaign, and the position in which we' stand with regard to the enemy, renders peace impossible for the moment, because it cannot be honourable. _ _ Negotiations opened, under such circumstances, would be altogether to our disadvantage, because we should be compelled to break them off, and to draw upon ourselves the odium of the rupture, after having revealed the secret of our pretensions, before we are in a condition to support them. The zeal evinced by England and France to bring about this negotiation, is unreasonable. Ido not cease to warn M. de la Ferronays of this, and to predispose him against compromising himself to such a point, as to force us into a refusal in the case of the Turks, advised by Austria and Great Britain, attempting to embarrass us, by offering to negotiate, not to conclude, but to gain the reputation of mo deration and wisdom. The project of England and France, to treat with the Porte for the pacification of Greece, with the consent of Russia, but without the presence of her Representative, is for us inadmissable, for the reasons already given ; however, since the French troops had withdrawn from the Morea, and it was impossible for the Ministry to prolong their stay, without sacrificing themselves, it is very fortunate that this country has been put under the guaranty of the three Courts ; this is the only shield which could protect it a , ainst a new invasion. In all probability, nothing can happen during the winter, which can disturb our preparations—this time ought, there fore, to be put to profit, to show ourselves in a formidable footing at the opening of the next campaign. This condition is vital—it is the only chance that re mains to us to re-establish ourselves in public opinion, on that footing where we were at the commencement of the preceding campaign. Whatever the explanation may be which we could give, and the eclat which has shone in our arms, by the taking of Varna—the raising of the siege of Silistria—the com plete evacuation of Bulgaria, with the exception of the for titied points in our power—the reports, without doubt ex- • aggerated, of our losses—and the disorder which is sup posed to exist in our military administration—have h.-fi nitely lowered the opinion entertained of our power, and of the organization of our army in all its parts. The French Ministry is shaken by it, and its existence will thereby be even, to a certain degree, compromised, at the opening of the Chambers. The intrigues of Austria multiply themselves—the Eug liA Ambassador seconds them, and if we do not hasten to triumph, as soon as the season of operations shall arrive, ne risk seeing changes here which will render the continuance of our influence more difficult. It is our policy to see that nothing new happens during the next four months, and I hope we shall accomplish it, because men in general prefer waiting—but the fifth must be fruitful in events. The opening of the campaign should astonish by its succass ; it arpears to me we have the means, it - we bring them to bear, and if they are reasonably employed. The idea of terminating the war by menacing demon stration upon Constantinople, appears to tne inapplicable, after the turn which affairs have taken. The capture of places on the Danube will make a lasting impression—will overawe Austria—will open the road to the remote provinces - of Turkey—and will authorise our exacting their destruc tion in peace, as soon as we have them in our power. Retain, M. le Comte, retain Varna,—it is a trophy which belongs personally to the Emperor. At the proper time, and supported by this station, our fleet can alarm the whole coaq. Although there is no probability of seeing an English fleet in the Black Sea, it would be prudent to fortify Sevastopol well a e rp lust approaches by sea. If ever England should break with us, against this point will her attacks be directed, if she believe it attackable. The progress of General Paskewitsch has been more im portant than the European public have imagined, because its attention has been directed to that which was nearer. We who know all its value, we should exert ourselves to Tender it more considerable—it will make a great impres sion at Constantinople. The blockade will not be so indifferent as they would wish to represent it. As soon as the Sultan was informed of it, he ordered a great supply of provisions from Egypt, which the Austrians undertook to transport—l hope the Imperial squadron will capture them. Here, M. Le Comte, you have the tribute of my zeal, and my feeble conceptions upon the grave questions which occupy the Imperial Cabinet. In examining them, I have not disguised the difficulties which we have still to over come, but I have also sought out the means we possess of triumphing over them. The events of the past campaign, far from discouraging us, will have given us the experience which we had not. If unforeseen obstacles, have existed, the Emperor knows them to surmount them—and I see in the very necessity in which we are placed of conquering, a principle of activity and energy which will preserve to the Empire and its Glorions Chief, in the sphere which is their own,that supremacy, from which it belongs to no human power to make them descend. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. RIPON.—The person to whom the following hand bill refers is a poor tailor, and has a wife and eight chil dren. A bailiff was put into his house to obtain payment from him of milk tithes, claimed by the Dean and Chapter. How long will such doings be tolerated in a civilized coun try ?—" Sale for Milk Tithes ; To be sold by auction, by Mr. Charles Bailey, on Thursday, the 28th day of January, 1836, at the house of William Darnbrough, tailor (Dis senter), in Blossomgate, Ripon, part of his household fur niture, under a warrant of distress for milk tithes," claimed by the Very Reverend the Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of Rip on , under the title of Tithes, Offerings, Oblations, and Obventions.' Sale to commence at 12 o'clock." THE LATE DREADFUL CASE OF STARVATION. —On Friday a special meeting of the Paddington Vestry was held at the Vestry-room, pursuant to a notice issued by Mr. Pitman, the vestry-clerk, in consequence of the pre vious presentation o f a petitTn calling upon them to ex plain the circumstances relative to the refusal of re li e f t o the unfortunate James Weeks, whose death has o ccas i one d so great a sensation. After hearing evidence, a gentleman named Smart moved the following resolution:7“That after a f u ll investigation, this meeting is of opinion, that James Weeks, at the time he was desired to leave the poor-hous e on J an . 11th, was not in a state of starvation, b It in a c on diti on t o h ave procee ded to the next parish on the way to his own in Wiltshire ; that it n evertheless ap pears to this Vestry, that' their assistant overseer did not pay sufficient attention to the message of the Magistrate, inasmuch as he did n o t re f er t h e case t o one of the over seers or medical officer." The resolution was put by the Reverend Chairman, and carried unanimously. A long discussion ensued, after which it was agree d t h at t h e Ves try should be adjourned to Thursd a y wee k, an d i n the meantime the Rev. Chairman und er t oo k to wr i te to Over ton in Wiltshire, which was the settlement of the poor boy. The Vestry adjourned at 8 o'clock. CHANCERY COURT.-MONDAY. EX PARTE POWELL IN THE MATTER OF A WARD. Mr. STUART read two affidavits, made, one by Miss Rogers, the late guardian of the ward, the other by Mr. Edmund Charles, the suitor of the ward. The affidavit of Miss Rogers denied that, in admitting the proposals of Mr. Charles, she acted from any sordid or improper motives. She thought that in fortune and station he was equal to Miss Bates, and she believed that he was induced from af fection only to propose marriage to the young lady. Mr. Charles denied that he had any sordid motives. He stated his fortune and prospects, and they altogether amounted to 6,0001. or 7,0001. Both affidavits stated that it was not the intention of the parties to marry until Miss Bates at tained the age of twenty-one. The LORD CHANCELLOR said Miss Rogers acted in vio lation of her duty as a guardian, even on her own showing ; and that part of her affidavit in which she said it was not the intention of the parties to marry until the ward was twenty-one was an aggravation of her offence, inasmuch as it seemed to be her notion, that after the ward at tained her age the Court had no power over her, and she might act in defiance of the Court's authority. Now Miss Rogers was mistaken as to the power of the Court over the ward's fortune. After a good deal of discussion between the Counsel, it was ordered that Miss Rogers's guardianship having ceased from last Saturday, she may be allowed to send in her ac count to the Master for maintenance and education up to the end of the half-year ending the 7th inst., the costs of this proceeding to be deducted from what may appear due to her. MARKE V. LOCKE. Sir W. HORNE moved for an appointment for a receiver of the estates in dispute in this case, and in the cases of " Smith v. Locke" and " Locke v. Coleman." The cir cumstances of the two latter cases have been lately men tioned. In the former, the House of Lords decided that Miss Susannah Locke was entitled to certain estates, part of the manor of Taunton Dean. In the latter, this Court directed an issue to try whether she was the heiress-at law, according to the custom of the manor, of Robert Marks, who in 1761 was seised of the premises. The pre sent plaintiff, who contested this right, was descended from a younger brother of Robert. This bill was filed in 1833, and had not yet been answered. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no power to accede to this application. KING'S BENCH.-MONDAY. THE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE. In this case a rule had been obtained for a mandamus to command the Justices of Gloucestershire to issue their order for stopping up a footway within that part of the vil lage of Clifton which, by the recent Municipal Reform Act had been part of the borough of Bristol. Lord DENMAN now delivered the judgment of the Court. The terms of the 7th and Bth sections of the Municipal Corporations Act, did most distinctly take the township of Clifton out of the county of Gloucester, and make it a part of the city of Bristol. The rule, therefore, must be dis charged. THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH OF EDG. LANE. This was a case in which there had been an indictment against the defendants for non-repair of certain roads in the county of Lancaster. Lord DENMAN now delivered the judgment. Their Lordships thought that, taking the words of all the Acts together, the different road 3 must be considered as cnnsti- .utmg but one line of road.—Judgment for the defendants, THE KING V. RICKETTS. Lord DENMAN stated that this was an application for a prohibition to the Ecclesiastical Courts to prevent them from proceeding further against the applicant in a de mand for church rates. The application chiefly rested on the recent statute by which the jurisdiction of the Eccle s;.astical Court was taken away in cases where the sum de manded was less than 101. The answer to the application was, first, that the alleged defect of jurisdiction did not ap pear on the face of the proceedings ; and, secondly, that the applicant was not at liberty to make this application to the Courts of Common Law after judgment had been given in the Ecclesiastical Court. The first of these answers was sufficient.—Rule discharged, but without costs. THE KING V. JUSTICES OF CUMBERLAND. Mr. CARPENTER ROWE showed cause against a rule for a nzaaiannts, commanding the Justices of the county of Cumberland to hear a charge brought against a person named Beaumont by the paris officers of Wetherly. The answer to the application for the rule was this, that the Jus tices had heard the complaint, and had decided that they ought not to entertain it. The charge brought against Beaumont was that of vagrancy, in abandoning his wife and child,and leaving them chargeable to the parish.—The rule• was made absolute. THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ROBBERY.-THE KING V. SULLIVAN AND OTHERS. The defendants in this case, who were charged with the robbery at the Custom-house, were brought up by writ of habeas corpus, the return to which having been read, seve ral depositions were put in. These depositions contained many allegations of suspicion as to the prisoners, and con tained some 'Dose expressions of other persons, said to be their associates, respecting them. Mr. Clarkson then ad• dressed the Court, and contended that there was no evi dence which could justify the frequent remanding of those prisoners ; not one single note stolen from the Custom house was identified as having passed through their hands. The COURT could not direct them to be discharged, but would direct the Magistrates agai❑ to examine them, with an intimation of the opinion of this Court, that unless strong evidence should be produced, or its absence reasonably ac counted for, the prisoners ought not again to be remanded. EXPARTE PALMER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was instructed to apply to the Court to restore Mr. Palmer's name to the roll of attornie, from which it had been erased by direction of the Court in Hilary Term 1835, at the instance of the Birmingham Law Association. BAIL COURT. IN THE MATTER OF THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE observed, that in a case which had been brought before him on Saturdty, with reference to calling on the Sheriff o f N o tti ng h ams hire to tax and assess th costs incurred by the Birmingham Railway Com pany in defending themselves against the claim of a per son named Dawley, who had refused the amount of com pensation offered by the Company, he had looked into the Company's Act, and particularly directed his attention to the point now in dispute. He had much difficulty in re conciling the different provisions of the Act, but he thought that in taxing the moiety of costs to be paid by the claimant to the Company, and deducted from the purchase money all sums and dues which could be required according to the fair interpretation of the Act.—Rule discharged. - THE KING V. THE CORPORATION OF WELLS. ERLE appeared to show cause against a Rule ob tained in this cause, calling upon the Mayor, Recorder, and Burgesses of Wells to hold a Court of Record, pursuant to the letters patent grahted by Queen Elizabeth, and for the erection of a prison in the city for the reception of debtors. This Rule had been obtained on the application of Mr. Benjamin Shape. Mr. ROGERS appeared in support of the Rule. Rule made absolute. COMMON ,PLEAS.-MONDAY. This being the last day of Term, the business of the day was of rather a hurried character, and of comparatively little public interest. A new rule of Court was read regu lating the future admissions of attorneys, and subjecting them to an examination before the Prothonotary. The judgment of the Court in the case of Battersley v. Kirk, remaining over since last Term, was delivered by the Lord Chief Justice. This was an action brought to enforce the payment of certain dues or customs claimed by the Bristol Docks Company, and sought to be levied by them under the provisions of a local Act of Parliament, by which they are empowered to levy certain dues for tonnage, &c., " upon all goods and merchandise imported into the docks from parts beyond the seas." Certain goods were imported by the defendant from Ireland, and he claimed exemption from these dues upon the ground that Ireland was not " in parts beyond the seas," but an integral portion of the king dom, and entitled by the sixth article of the Act of Union to the same benefits, privileges and advantages in trade and commerce, that England or any portion of the empire was. The Dock Company contended that Ireland was "in parts beyond the seas" for all other purposes except the particular objects and purposes of particular Acts of Par liament. The question, therefore, it will be observed, was one of construction. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after a lengthened examina tion of the authority, proceeded to observe that the Court were of opinion that goods imported from Ireland into the Bristol docks were goods imported from " parts beyond the seas" within the meaning of the local Dock Act, and there fore subject to the duties imposed by that Act. There must, therefore, be judgment for the plaintiff. LEVI V. WALHOUSE. Mr. Sergeant WILDE showed cause against the rule ob tained by Mr. Sergeant Andrews on behalf of the defen dant, culling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the war rant of attorney and subsequent proceedings should not be set aside, and the money (1251.) paid by the defendant to the plaintiff's attorney refunded to him. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS supported th e ru l e . The COURT directed the rule to be made absolute. JUSTICE V. PIE - The rule calling on the defendant to show cause why he should not assign the articles of clerkship of Master Thomas Harris Justice to Mr. Beaumont was made absolute, the costs of the application to be paid by his uncle, Sir Henry Richardson. The Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius will commence to morrow, before the Lord Chief Justice. EXCHEQUER COURT.-MONDAY. CHATTOCK V. SHAW. At the sitting of the Court Lord ABINGER said that the rule obtained in this case for a new trial must be discharged. His own impression was certainly favourable to the de fendant ; but the Jury having given the preference to the plaintiff's evidence, he should not feel justified in disturbing the verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. MAKING A " PIEBALD."—Mrs. Amelia Page, a young and very pretty married female, charged Robert Ward, a sweep, with the following novel assault : On Sunday afternoon, being full dressed for a tea-party, and of course as clean as a new pin, she was passing down Peter-street, when she happened unluckily to encounter several young sweeps, who were, according to their phraseo logy, " larking," amongst themselves. One of the party called out to the others that a fine opportunity occurred of making a " piebald" of the young woman, and in a trice she was seized, and her blooming cheeks well smutted with the black caps of the sooty imps. This exploit was not so adroitly managed as to allow of the escape of all the par ties, and the consequence was that the defendant, who had been the most active in the process, was captured and taken to the station-house. The statement of the complainant was confirmed by the acting Inspector, who declared that it would have been diffi cult to decide which of the two faces (plaintiff's or defend ant's) was the blacker. Mr. CHANIBERS—What did you mean by such conduct ? Boy—l'm werry sorry for my crime, and I'll ax the young woman's parding, your Vership. Mr. CHAMBERS—I shall not let you off so easy ; you must pay a fine for your scandalous behaviour. How much do you earn a week ? Boy—Vy, I'm out of my time, and beets as a climbing journeyman, so its sometimes von thing and sometimes the other. Ven I makes a werry good veek, I yarns three shillings, but I'm hobligated to find my own voshing out on it. Mr. CHAMBERS—It could have cost you nothing for washing last week, or you would not have been in you working clothes yesterday. Boy—Missers couldn't pay me my vages last Saturday night, so I vas compelled to put off clean-shirt-day to next veek. This confession, added to other signs of contrition, so far mollified Mrs. Page, as to induce her to come forward and plead in favour of the culprit. Mr. CHAMBERS—No, I shall make his master deduct something a week from his wages. What have you in your bundle (to the sweep) ? Boy—l took avay my pro perty, 'cause missus couldn' pay me. Here the lad opened a dirty cloth and displayed his stock of worldly moveables. All that was visable was a bag of marbles, a trapbat, and a couple of unserviceable shirts. The Magistrate mitigated the fine from 10s. to ss. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday George William Poole and John Edwards, the drivers of two Paddington omnibuses, known by the names of the Emperor and the Dart, were brought before Mr. Laing, in the custody of two police constables, charged with furious driving, and thereby causing the death of Mr. Leonard Coleman, corn and coal merchant and flour factor, of High-street, Camberwell. After the examination of several witnesses, Mr. LAING said there was sufficient to warrant their detention, and he remanded both prisoners, and directed that information should be given to the Coroner for an in quest to be held upon the body., Thomas Evans, an elderly man, was finally examined and fully committed for trial, charged with having broken into and robbed St. Paul's Church, East Clapham, of considera ble property. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1836. UNION- HALL. Yesterday Thomas Hal lifan, a young man in the service of Mrs. Garland, landlady of tho Bell public-house in the Through-market, was brought before Mr. TRAIL}, charged with breaking open a chest of drawers and a cash box, and stealing 1161. in sovereigns and Bank . of England notes, together with several articles of plate and jewellery, the property of his mistress. The circumstances attending the robbery are of a very singular nature, an ingenious plan having been laid by the prisoner to rob the house himself, and make it appear that a burglary had been committed by three men in the absence of the family. The prisoner was committed for trial. Henry Fisk, and Jane, his wife, residing in Cherry-gar den-street, itotherliithe, were brought. up for final examina tion, charged with. setting fire to their house, with intent to defraud the British Insurance Company. The evidence was taken at great length, and the prisoners were fully com mitted. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Kentish Arms Tavern, Mabledon-place, Burton-crescent, before Mr. STIRLING and a very respectable Jury, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances attending the death of Don Vincente Elizondo, aged twenty, a Spanish gentleman, of highly respectable connections, who put a period to his existence by cutting his throat. The details of this case were given in the The Sun of yesterday. After hearing several witnesses the Jury returned a ver dict, " That the deceased destroyed himself in a state of temporary derangement." DREADrut. ACCIDENT AT RonantuTHE.—Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was held at the Europa Tavern, Rotherhithe, before Mr. CARTER, one of the Coroners for Surrey, and a highly respectable Jury, on the body of Simon Holland, who was killed by the sudden falling of the chimney shaft of the factory of Messrs. Christmas, Hart, and Co., in Church-passage, Rotherhithe. The Jury, after beinc , sworn, proceeded to view the ruins, of which they made a minute inspection. Mr. Christmas, solicitor, of Gray's Inn, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the firm, and Mr. Bad deley on the part of Mr. Bragg, the builder. After hearing evidence, the substance of which appeared in our columns yesterday, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death—deodand 405." . Mr. Baddeley said he was authorized by Messrs. Christ mas and Hart, and likewise by Mr. Bragg, to state - that they deeply deplored the calamity, and would make every possible reparation to the sufferers. The deceased would be buried, and his widow and children had been assured of permanent assistance. The wounded men would receive every kindness, and Mr. Connell's premises would be re stored. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT HETTON COLLIERY. A dreadful explosion occurred on Thursday afternoon, at the Downs Pit, near Hetton. Sixteen men and bows have fallen victims, and five others have been brought to bank, dreadfully scorched, with scarcely any probability of their surviving. It is impossible to assign any satisfactory reason for such an event. Upwards of one hundred persons were employed in the pit at the time it occurred, but owing to the accident being confined to one of the workings, the num ber of the victims was less than might have been expected. It is impossible to give an adequate description of the con sternation that spread like lightning through the dwellings of the neighbouring population on hearing the melan choly tidings ; crowds were to be seen hurrying to the pit mouth anxious to ascertain whether amongst those that cast their eyes on their comrades and earnestly asked for the cooling draught, were to be found some relation, who, recognising the face they were about to foreovuerrinwg element, ouldstr andetc stretch out e h n i t a ly ha p n r d e , ss ha u lf pon con tb su em med a leave by t e devouring last farewell. evreees resn tedwerevisited. the b Tro T uvs pog h ob e ttb s lroa i o g nst h tth, t was, eearyns:dn i nag nded Richard melancholy e The , a l a n e d yo rr nd whole spectacleh Thomas a sth Finlay, nthsl description. aueyry, pr were found locked in each other's arms, and lying as if in a profound sleep.

Ro binson Harland, the only Rapport of his mother, an aged widow, is severely burnt a the back, the arms, and the up per part of the face. Nc blame, we understand, can be attached to the overmen, though slight explosions have oc curred at intervals for sone time. We are really alarmed at the many accidents bat have occurred lately in Coal Mines of this neighbouihood, and we sincerely wish some effective measures were adopted in order to ensure the safety of the workmen.—Sunderland Herald. SUICIDE.—On Fricay afternoon a Spanish gentle man, named Elizondos, who was staying on a visit at the residence of his Excelency Don Vicente Pazos, Vice- Consul for Buenos Ares, 20, Mabledon-place, Burton crescent, terminated hi existence by cutting his throat. The deceased had for sone time been labouring under severe indisposition, which afficted his mind, and latterly the dis order had turned to thesmall pox.

DEATH OF MR. WALKER, POLICE MAGISTRATE. (Extract of a letter from Brussels, Jan. 21, 1836.) " It is probable that you may have heard before this reaches you, of the melancholy and sudden death of your friend Mr. Walker. I shall give you all the particulars which transpired here before and after the event. He had been at the Hotel de Belle Vue for several days, and had made some little excursions in the neighbourhood, to visit and inquire into the state of the prisons and places of confine ment in this country. On Sunday last he was at Mr. Drury's church. On the same day he dined at the Table d'Hote, and was cheerful. On Monday he had asked Mr. Drury to dine with him, but Mr. Drury could not accept the invitation. On Saturday he was walking with Mr. Cuming, of Gray's-wood, Surrey, and on coming up the Montagne de la Cour towards the hotel, he seemed oppressed with difficulty of breathing, and complained of it. On the same day he made an appointment with Mr. Cuming to go with him en the Tuesday following to see the prison at Vilvorde. On the Tuesday morning early Mr. Cuming received a note from him to say, that he felt too unwell to fulfil the engagement. Mr. Cumming imme diately called on him, and found him in bed, about twelve o'clock, stayed with him half-an-hour, and pressed him to send for medical aid. He replied, there was no occasion, he should soon be well. He would not have his bed made that day. In the evening the servant inquired if he wanted any thing, and she was desired to bring him some tea. He was not visited again that night. On Wednesday morning, as it was late, and no bell summoning any attendance, the waiter entered his room, and found the tea things had not been touched, and, looking into the bed, saw he was a corpse, cold and stiff. The master of the hotel, M. de Proft, sent to the Hotel de Ville to acquaint the authori ties, to the English Ambassador's, and Mr. Salter, the 'un dertaker. In taking care of papers and letters, your let ter of introduction to me was discovered, for he had not yet delivered it. M. de Proft and Mr. Salter called on me with the letter about one o'clock. Finding he was your friend, and so strongly recommended to me, I could not forbear taking a great interest and an active part in doing what I considered essential on such occasions, and satisfactory to his friends in England. I considered an examination of the body by competent and skilful medical men indispensable,' with a view simply to ascertain the im mediate cause of his death. Dr. Tobin, physician to the Embassy, Dr. Perkins, Dr. Duncan, and Dr. A. Jacque bert, a Belgian, were desired to meet this morning at ten o'clock, and make the necessary examination. It was done in my presence, and in that of my friend Capt. Lovett. The medical people signed a declaration, which I subjoin : Healthy external appearance, body muscular and fat,* numerous adhesions of the pleura, great congestion, amount ing to pulmonary apoplexy of the right lung, and explaining the sudden death ; the liver showed like symptoms of con gestion ; stomach pretty healthy.' (Signed as above.) The body is to be immediately put into a shell, and afterwards enclosed in a leaden coffin, to await orders from his friends in England, whether the corpse is to be buried here, or con veyed to his relations at home." * This must allude to the character of the flesh, as Mr. Walker was very thin in his general figure, particularly in the last year or two. FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS IN PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, JAN. 14.—A law is expected by which the circulation of many (especially foreign) journals will be stopped, or consi derably limited. Those public offices which receive French and English journals for official purposes have already been strictly forbidden to lend them to private persons. In par ticular, it is likely that the reading of such journals, espe cially the French, will be prohibited, or greatly restricted, in places of public resort, such as the confectioners' shops, coffee-houses, &c., where they are at present to be seen in great numbers. Such restrictions have always existed in Austria. Here, in Berlin, there is scarcely any considera ble confectioner's shop where the National is not lying on the table, which, notwithstanding its present subdued tone, has still a great many readers.—German Paper. VOYAGE TO NEW YORK.—After a lapse of seve ral weeks I finally pitched upon the Eagle, a vessel built in New York, of 520 tons burden, known as a first-rate sailer, with a spacious roomy deck and elegant cabin. Her com mander and part owner, Captain Lyons, we found to be a plain, honest seaman, anxiously alive to his duty, attentive, and accommodating to all on board, and desirous that his steerage passengers should equally partake with those in the cabin of the ordinary comforts and accommodations of the ship. My family consisted of ten individuals, including a man servant. The charge for a cabin passage was 25/. ; the three of my number were to be taken at a lower rate, on ac count of their youth, although I must candidly admit, that many an adult would have proved a safer speculation for the Captain's table than the very youngest amongst them. In cluding a state room for the exclusive use of Mrs. F., I paid in the whole 210/. 125.; our accommodations were quite comfortable, a room 15 feet square, entering from the cabin, fitted with four beds, was allotted to three of my family and myself, while the others were distributed in the various state rooms off the cabin. By the advice of the Captain, I purchased a good little cow from a milkman in Liverpool, and the ship butcher sent some four-year-old Cheviot wethers, decidedly the best of all sheep for sea stock, and finer mutton, for gravy and flavour, never graced a board. The minor department of our live stock was well cared for, as our Captain took both a pleasure and a pride in cramming his pigs and poultry to their hearts' content. The crew consisted of twenty steady men, and not a drop of grog or spirits was served out, as the Eagle was a " temperance ship," an arrangement now becoming very general in the American ports. The men have coffee in lieu of grog, and the difference in the price is reckoned to them in their wages. Many a poor fellow, I believe, has found reason to bless the hour when he agreed to try the good effects of this exchange.—Ferguson's Tour. THE STA NMORE GOLD-FINDERS. — The following is a more correct account of this extraordinary affair than that before published :—On Saturday last the coachman and gardener of Mr. Cheoval, the rector of Stanmore, while levelling a hedge-bank on the glebe-land, at a place called Old Church, near the foot of Stanmore-hill, turned up several pieces of gold. Instead of intermit)g their mas ter, they kept the knowledge of it to themselves till the evening, when the gardener, it is said, got drunk in a public house, and informed his companions of his good fortune. It was then agreed amongst them that a treasure which for many years was believed to be concealed somewhere about the spot was found. The story runs, that 13 years ago a foreigner, from London, arrived at Stanmore, and for a fort night diligently searched, with the assistance of four men, the banks of an adjoining field, but unsuccessfully, and then departed in great distress of mind. He accused a farmer living near of having found it ; and perhaps this, having been the general belief, may account for no other treasure seeker having made the attempt. This conjecture proved to be correct, for, having agreed to commence a search early on the following morning, they discovered in a very short time, not far from the surface, an iron chest, an old tea caddy, and a coach-lamp, all containing gold coin of the French, American, Spanish, and Portuguese currency, some of it bearing the date of 1818. It is believed, from all that can be learned on the subject, that the amount was upwai•ds of 2,000/ ; but, as all the population of Stanmore had collected in consequence of the gardener's folly, a gene ral scramble took place by men, women, and children, the man who found the iron chest having defended his treasure from the general attack made upon it, but distributing to all present a share. The amount secured by Mr. Cheoval's servants is said to have been 500/., and this, of course, when he at last became aware of what had occurred, was taken from them. Attempts have been made to recover more of it from the finders, but as they had found ready purchasers for their treasure, the attempt, at present, has not succeeded. The weather at Edinburgh continues still boisterous and cold. Early yesterday morning snow began to fall, ac companied with a strong gale from the south-west, which continued with little intermission during the day—and as there was a keen frost the streets became slippery with the snow ; but by the activity of the police the pavement in the principal streets were cleared early in the day, and thus rendered walking less dangerous than it would have been had the snow been allowed to accumulate. The fall of snow in the south must have been greater than in our neigh bourhood, as the Dumfries mail was some hours behind the usual time of its arrival.—Edinburgh Courant. PLUNDER OF THE TROUGHTON.—The follow ing is an extract relative to the plunder of the Troughton Chinaman :—" We shall endeavour to obtain a reduction or e ntire relief of port-charges on the Troughton, which we are led to believe will be accorded on a petition to the Hoppo, &c. The exertions of the Chinese authorities have been successful in capturing some of the piratical boats, with dollars concealed in their ballast, &c. ; and it is confidently affirmed that the entire party concerned in the plunder will be taken. We fear but few of the dollars will be restored. At present we cannot state the actual plunder, but believe 21 cases of dollars. The captain's money, watches, &c., some cases of watches, clothes, &c., pare the rinciple articles." In a child at the age of six months a soft tumour was observed to grow from the front of the alveolar pro cess of the upper jaw. Sir Astley Cooper removed the tumour ; but it grew again and gradually became hard. The subject of the disease grew up a fine young woman, but for the deformity occasioned by the tumour, which was an inch and a half thick, and two in breadth, and projecting two inches and a half, pressed the upper lip against the nose. At the age of 19 the patient consulted me . As the tumour had now ceased to grow for five years, with the, concurrence of Sir A. Cooper I removed it. It proved to be an exostosis of cancellated but ex tremely hard bone ; three years have now elapsed. but the tumour has not returned.—Mayo's Outline§ of Human Pathology SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY SHIPWRECKS !_Our readers will recollect the singular circumstance of the wrecked crew of the schooner Anley embarking on board the Experiment cutter, which vessel also foundered on her passage from Liverpool to this island, when the unfortunate crew were saved, and landed on the coast of England. Two of them then shipped on board the Castor schooner, bound for Rouen, when that vessel was likeWiso :lost on a rock near the Corswell Light-house, but the crew were saved. So that these two poor fellows have actually suf fered three shipwrecks in the short space of six weeks.— Jersey Argus. An old friend of Franklin has communicated to us the following fact :—" There existed at Malmaison a fine portrait of Napoleon, by Isabey ; this portrait, which had belonged to the Empress Josephine, was purchased a few years since by an American, named Sanderson, who made a present of it to General Jackson, and when the late disastrous fire occurred at New York this picture was the only object that was spared, though it adorned one of the public edifices which the fire entirely consumed."—French Paper. THE NEW PEERAGE.—The annual issue has just taken place of that valuable publication " The Peerage of the British Empire," by Mr. Lodge, the Norroy King of Arms ; and we think that it is even more comprehensive and accurate than the former editions ; it will be found to contain such a mass of information on the existing Peerage and its collateral branches, as could have been obtained only iy the most sedulous research, and the kind co-operation of the Peers themselves, who, we understand, have very ma terially assisted the learned Editor in his heraldic labours. We are happy to learn that the schism which for some time existed among the Reformers of Boston has been removed, and that a union is expected to take place, which will be attended with the happiest results, and will seal the doom of Toryism in that borough, and send Mr. Brownrigg to look out for some other "free and independent" consti tuency. The results of the municipal elections have fully shown to the Reformers the advantages arising from union— and they naturally ask themselves why, if they could return eighteen town councillors, in a firm united phalanx, by such an overwhelming majority, should not the same union and organization succeed in returning two Reformers as mem bers of Parliament, instead of sending one to vote against he other.—Lincoln Gazette. Mr. LISTER'S " GRANBY.”—This work forms an appropriate suite to Mr. Bulwer's " Pelham," in the " Mo dern Novelists." It has been justly observed that " the moment you open the volume you feel in good society, whether the characters are every-day people (the most difficult in the world to write about), or like Mr. Trebeck (the Trebeck), who is very fine, and everything of that sort, but pleasant, remarkably pleasant, where be is known— or grave, or gay, or lively, or severe,'—still the tone of high breeding is over all, and in all ; the wit is the wit of a gentleman—the information is such as only a gentleman could either acquire or disseminate." We congratulate the public on the re-appearance of this admirable novel in so cheap, portable, and pleasing a form. LAMENTABLE CATASTROPHE.—MANCHESTER, JAN. 26.—0 n Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, the town was thrown into consternation by the report (which to a certain extent proved to be but too correct), that a chapel belonging to the Wesleyan Methodist Asso ciation, better known, perhaps, as the adherents of Dr. Warren, had suddenly fallen down, and that many were killed and wounded. The place was crammed to suffoca tion. Great numbers were soon on the spot ; it was, in fact, for a long time impossible to get near it, so as to as certain with anything like correctness the loss of life, and the number of persons injured. In the mean time, the groans and the shrieks, and the wailings were most heart-rending. The chapel (" Tabernacle" is the name given to it) is situate in Oldham-road,- and was lent for the evening for the pur pose of advocating Temperance Societies. Perhaps, on no former occasion were there ever so many within its walls. On a minute examination of the premises to-day, it appears that a principal bearing beam had snapped asunder, which seemed surprising, as its contents were 101 inches by Eii inches, and was supported by two pillars, thus making the spaces only 71 feet. On further examination, however, it appeared as though the foundation on which the pillars (of timber) were fixed must have given way, as the ground was very wet and clayey. The joists were laid longitudi nally, the lengthway of the chapel, and not having suffi cient hold or bearing in the wall, drew out on the beam breaking ; the floor fell, and with it 100 or 200 persons were precipitated into the cellar, and, of course, one upon another. As yet only two persons are dead, and another seriously, though not dangerously, wounded. Both the deceased are females, one of whom was a widow, and has left one child. the Temperance Society in Manchester have laudably decided on adopting it. A detail of the bruises and contusions would be endless. The chapel had no gallery, but was built in the form of an amphitheatre, and capable of holding 600 or 700 persons. The door keeper had a narrow escape, having only the moment be fore been sent to examine whether all was safe, when the floor, without previous warning, came down. The builder, in the course of the day, had been heard to say that the floor was sufficient to bear the weight of twice as much iron as could be piled within its walls. This gave the people unbounded confidence in its security. The police and watch were quickly at the place, and rendered very great assistance. LONDON MARKETS PRICE OF BREAD.

Hart and Christmas , Church-street, Rotherhithe, are the result of a careful inquiry on the spot :—The chimney was built by Mr. Bragg, a builder whose experience and ability are held in general repute in the neighbourhood. The exac t height of the chimney was seventy-two feet three inches , and the foundation was built on a stone base, six feet square by about four inches in thickness. Those who witnessed the fall of the immense and lofty pile say that it swayed over in one complete mass from the base to the apex, increasing it its fearful velocity as it descended; but remaining wholly unbroken till it was snapped' asunder by the concussion with the roof of Mr. Con' nell's ; house. The crash and confusion were then apPal ling. The escape of Mrs. Connell was most providential; she had for many weeks been bed-ridden, and had tha t very morning within less than an hour quitted her r oom for the first time. The room is in ruins, and the bed In particular is heaped up with bricks and rubbish. Near the basement of the chimney, in the direction in which it fell, some labourers were employed in digging a In' l r for a litter way from the chimney, an act that of itseii must have had a tendency to weaken the foundation. When the fall took place, the man now dead was ac; tually driven into the earth by its tremendous foree, an' the human figure is impressed with a horrible ex actne o deep in the soil. The other man, who was taken t o the hospital, and whose case is deemed hopeless, had one of bi g legs completely turned round in the hip socket, so that the heel was where the toes ought to be. Three other raea are lying at their respective homes suffering from various injuries. Mr. .Brunel, the eminent eng i neer , was soon o n e the spot, rendering every assist ance .
