Most of our readers have heard of the electro telegraph on the Great Western Railway, between Paddington and Sloagh, a distance of eighteen miles, by which any communication can be made from one point to the other, or to any inter mediate station, in an almost inappreciably short space of time. Professor Wheatstone and Mr. - C,Coke, to whose in gerittitylre are indebted for this interes_ Itter and important application of electro-magnetism, havefetAirly.manss an entirely new.artfingerfient - of their telegraph.-by which it has been greatly simplified, and possesses great advantages over the lbrmer one. It is now very portable , and any person , after a few minutes' observation, can send and receive a mes sage through . ita medium. It requires merely a single pair of wires, and froth forty to fifty letters, or signs, can be gent by it in the course of a second. The telegraph, with its ac companying alarum, is included in a case - no{ - larger than that of a small table clock. The telegraphic communication is carried on by Means of conducting wires extending the whole length of the ;friss' The wires are :uspended in the air from wooden standards, on the average of. about nine feet from the ground, and placed in such a way, both as regards the supporting posts and the earth, as to ensure such a . degree of insulation as to avoid the'tisk of the electric cur rent finding a shorter course through smite imperfectly in sulated point. With respect to the telegraph itself, the upper portion of the apparatus is appropriated to the alarum, and the part im mediately below is the indicator, which gives the letters or the alphabet, the numerals, and several conventional signs. In addition to this, an apparatus is annexed to it for printing the communications received through the telegraplt t oft similar principle to that used in printing the results of. the calculations given by Babbage's machine, but in this case tisc motive power is magneto-electric. The principle on which the electric telegraph was recently constructed is founded on Oersted's celebrated discovery of inserting the magnetic needle through a magnectic current with an artificial polarity. By the new arrangement of Pro fessor Wheatstone's telegraph, the power is derived from Pro- . fessor Faraday's application of magneto-electricity, the results of which discovery are likely to produce such important con sequences to science. The mode in which the signals are give a is by means or magnetic pointers, each suspended vertically on an axi 3 mov ing on the face of the dial, and behind the face of the dial another magnet is placed, being fixed on the same axis as the pointer, so that both move together. The motion of the magnet is regulated by fixed stops. The general effect of this arrangement is to transmit the electric dui(' along the conducting wire, and through the rolls of wire surrounding the magnets, so that on moving the handle to the right or the left, to any one of the stops, the exterior pointers at the distant stations indicate a corresponding and instantaneous signal upon the dial at the extreme station. By merely moving the handle a signal can be instantaneously trans mitted to the telegraph house at the extremity of the line of electric communication, and the latter can asreadilv transmit back signals in reply, correctness being insured Ity the si multaneous appearance of the signal on the instrument of the operator and of the recipient. The object of the alarunt or bell above the apparatus, is to call the attention of the person attending the telegraph at the opposite station, and this operation is also effected through the medium of the else- - tric fluid. Hitherto this most useful invention has been chiefly made applicable to railway traffic, and fin. the important purpose of working single lines of.railway it-is invaluable. Indeed, without its application in such a case, it. would be inexpe dient to allow the formation of sack lines ; but from the facility which this apparatus affords of communicating front . one station to the other on a line of railway, the greateat security is aflhrded against the occurrence of any accident through the collisions of trains, or from any stoppage on the line. Again, on such a line as the London and lilackwall Railway, the application of the principle has proved most. advantageous. It is well known that this railway is worked by two stationary engines, each of which pulls a rope, by which the train is drawn along the line. By means of a telegraph of .this nature the most rapid intercommunication is , kept up between one station and another, and the most minute knowledge is obtained at the London end of what. is going on at Blackwall, or any of the intermediate stations, and vice versa. We understand that the electric telegraph on the Great Western Railway has for the last few weeks been in great activity, and that in some. days upwards of a hundred mes sages have been transmitted. MoSt of these have reference to the traffic on the line, which of course would be materially aided on those days when many heavy and extra trains were requisite, by means of the telegraph. We give a few speci mens of the nature of the messages sent to and front the Paddington station. Slough, 6 18 p.m.—Send Mr. H— another train of empty carriages immediately; we are in urgent want of them. Paddington, 6 20 p.m.—Mr. C— cannot send any more, as there are no spare engines—nut one. Paddington, 7 10 p.m.—Has the up-train left Slough ? Slough, 7 12 p.m.—Yes, but it was delayed some time. Slough, 7 30.—The extra train has started, very heavy, about twenty-three carriages. Paddington, 7 41 p.m.—Tell Mr. ll the Pluto engine has just come in. Shall she return with empties? If so, with what? Slough, 7.43 p.m.—Yes, with four first class, and five second class carriages. Paddington, 1 50 p.m.—Mr. C— wishes to know at what time Prince Albert will leave Slough. Slough, 1 53.—About twenty minutes past two: send im mediately to the royal mews to order carriages to be in at tendance. Slough, 2 18.—Prince Albert has started for Paddington. Paddington, 2 49 . .—The Prince has arrived. Slough, 3 s.—Mr. wishes to know if the royal party has arrived. Paddington, 3 B.—Not yet arrived. Paddington, 3 12.—The royal party has just arrived. Paddington, 3 16.—The royal party has just started. Slough, 3 44.—The royal party has arrived. Slough, 3 51.—Tell Mr. C— that the returning royal train will precede the regular up-train. Paddington, 4 20.—Tell Mr. IT— that the four o'clock down-train was ten minutes late in starting. The royal car riages were late and had to be put on ; it contained seven car riages and two horse boxes. * * April 13, Slough . .—lt is her Majesty's command to receive notice by telegraph on :the arrival of Prince Albert at Pad dington. A messenger from the Castle will be in attendance here to convey the news to the Castle. Paddington, 5 44.—Te1l the messenger that Prince Albert has arrived at Paddington. Paddington. 5 46.—The royal train has started. Slough, 6 15.—The royal train has arrived. • • * Paddington.—ls everything ready for the reception of the Emperor of Russia at Slough? Slough.—Yes, everything is ready. • • r• The latter message was sent at the request and in the pre sence of the Emperor. We might quote from the check book at the telegraphic-office at Slough, several hundred curious communications made by this apparatus, the answers to which were received in an almost incredibly short space of time. We have hitherto only alluded to the importance of this extremely beautiful instrument as regards private commu• nication, even for this short distance ; but it is hardly pos sible to conceive the great public advantages that would re sult from the laying down lines of telegraphic communi cation along all the great lines of railway. The present public telegraphs, both in this and other countries, are liable to constant uncertainty and interruption in their communi cation, either from inclemency of the weather, or the night. Every one who has been in the habit of reading the public papers must repeatedly have observed that the telegraphic communication between Marseilles and Paris is broken off in the middle of a message through the setting in of the night; and interruption of this kind could never arise with the magneto-electric telegraph. In addition to this, the ex pense of a telegraph of thelatter nature would be consider ably less than the charge of the present establishments of this nature. Another advantage of the electric telegraph is the great celerity with which messages can be conveyed in comparison with the present cumbrous telegraphic establish ment. Hence then the advantages in favour of Mr. Wheat stone's most useful and beautiful apparatus are certainty, ce lerity, and economy. We shall conclude this notice with giving the following extract on this subject from the 4th report of the Committee of the House of Commons on railways, presented July 2d; 1840 " Mr. Saunders, the Secretary of the Great Western Rail way, states the expense of constructing the electrical tele graph on the line of that railway to have been from 250 E to 300/. a mile. This description of telegraph, however, when once constructed, is worked at a very trifling ex pense; whereas the telegraph now in use between London and Portsmouth, independent of the original outlay, costa about 3,300/. a year; and the lines of telegraphic communi cation to Plymouth, to Yarmouth, and to Deal, were aban doned in the year 1816, on account of the expenditure required for their maintenance. " When a telegraph shall have been laid down between London and the other ports and mercantile cities of the island, it will give to its proprietors great advantages in ob tabing and transmitting information. which must be at tended with most important resUlts. For the purposes of the railway itself this telegraph may also be frequently used, to preVent the risk of accidents, and to obviate delay and in convenience. " Your Committee are of opinion that circumstances may arise in which it may be very inconvenient to leave in the hands of a private company, or possibly of an individual, the exclusive means of intelligence which this telegraph will afford, and it cannot fail to be of paramount import ance that the Government should be furnished with similar means of procuring and transmitting intelligence, and they believe that no ra►lway company will object, on fair terms, to give every facility to the Government fur establishing a line of electrical communication over the whole length of their railway." FIRE IN GREAT PORTLAND - STREET.—Wednesduy morning, shortly after two o'clock, a fire broke out in a spacious range of premises, the property of his Grace the Duke . cf Portland, but tenanted by Mr. Gotobed, corn merchant and hay salesman, and Mr. - Gould, an upholsterer, in Riding-house-lane, Great Portland-street. The fire ori ginated, from some unknown cause, in that part of the building occupied by the former individual. The escape belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire was quickly at the scene, but fortunately it was not required. Six engines of the. London establishment, with those of the parish and West of England Company, arrived in rapid succession, and there being a good supply of water flowing from the mains of the West Middlesex Com pany, five of the engines were called into operation, but so strong a hold had the fire obtained, that it continued, in spite of the firemen, to spread, and the engines were worked incessantly until past six o'clock, when the confla gration yielded at last to the labours of the brigade and .t he great body of Nytver thrown upon it. The damage done is as follows :—Considerable injury to building and stock in basement and ground floors, a large quantity- of the stock in trade destroyed; Mr. James Gould, upholslerer, first floor, stock in trade, and furniture damaged by tire and waxer, window-frames burned out; No. 9, Little Titchfield-street, Thomas Leay, tailor, building and stock damaged by water, &c.

GLOBE.—Sir :fames Graham's inexplicable course with respect to the convict Dalmas has occasioned much surprise in the public mind, and has been made the sub ject of well-merited and strongly-marked censures. A more cold-blooded, premeditated murder than that of which Dalmas was convicted, on evidence that afforded no possibility of doubt as to his guilt, has not been often perpetrated. While the penalty of death for deliberate murder remains unrepealed on the statute book, no imaginable reason can be assigned for exempting Dalmas from the punishment to which he was sentenced. The object of the law, and the duty of those intrusted with its execution, are alike—to prevent murder; to render life secure from the machinations of the mali cious, and from the violence of the cruel—to repress the commission of au-enormous. crime, which none but the most desperate of men will commit. Admit that putting the convicted offe•ider to death has sufficient effi cacy, by way of example, to prevent the com mission of such offences—and this is the only rational ground on which capital punishment is defen sible —there can be no reason why Dalmas was reprieved; except that which was implied by the medical examina tion to which he was subjected after sentence, viz., that he was of unsound mind, arid therefore not responsble to the law for the death of the poor woman who was his vic tim. No suggestion of insanity was made by his counsel on his trial—a line of defence, in the case of persons ac cused of flagrant offences,which has of late become common from the success that has attended its adoption in several recent instances.• Such a plea would, doubtless, have been set up on his trial, had there been the slightest evidence to sustain it. The defence was made to rest on a simple denial of guilt; a legal objection to the reception of the dying woman's declaration, which was admit ted to be valid by the Judges; and an attempt to shake the testimony of the witnesses who identified the pri soner as the man they saw with the woman, or near the spot, about the time the murder was perpetrated. Notwithstanding this, if any statements, tending to raise a doubt of the convict's sanity were forwarded to the Home-office, we think Sir James Graham was bound to direct a medical examination, and to stay exe cution of' the sentence to afford time for the medical practitioners to obtain the necessary information. Per sons acquainted with the history of the criminal, as well as those whose business it was to watch him care fully while in their custody, should be, and doubtless were, examined. The medical examination of the wretched man ; of the chaplain of the prison ; and of 'the gaolers to whose custody and watchful care he was committed during the considerable interval which elapsed between his being committed for trial, and his subsequent remand to their custody after sen tence of death was passed upon him ; left no reason to infer that Dalmas was of unsound mind, or in any re spect incapable of exercising a proper control over his own conduct. The fact of the sentence being com muted into transportation for life is, in itself, sufficient to show that the Home Secretary was satis fied as to the sanity of the murderer. For what Minister of Justice, who was not himself the subject of mental aberration, would direct a lunatic to be transported ? Bedlam, and not Van Diemen's Land, is the appropriate place of restraint, and affords the only suitable discipline, for lunatics. If Dalmas were insane, and if his insanity were indicated by a propensity to murder, what a fearful responsibility has Sir. James Graham assumed ! What, if on his voyage to the penal settlement to which the Home Secretary has consigned him, Dalmas murder one of the un happy beings who are expatriated by the sentence of the law, but whose lives are as precious in the law's eye as that of any other person? What, if in the colony he, with the crafty vigilance for which lunatics are distinguished, watch his opportunity, and slack his thirst for blood by cutting the throat or knocking out the brains of a convict, or of one of the overseers ? Who would be responsible but the Home Secretary ? —who, with an inconsistency partaking of insanity, consigned a murderous lunatic to a penal settlement, instead of confining him in a lunatic asylum ! But it is suggested, that the evidence, upon under going. revision, was not deemed satisfactory. Insanity and innocency, combined, are incompatible as pleas ; whether in answer to an indictment, or as the ground of an application to the Crown for a commutation of punishment. The one necessarily destroys the other. If the evidence be deemed insufficient to sustain a conviction—if discrepancies appear in material parts of the testimony sufficiently grave to engender doubts as to the actual guilt of the accused, the duty of the Home Secretary is clear. A pardon should have issued under the Great Seal, by which not only the life of the convicted party would be saved from the death to which he had been improperly doomed, but all the civil consequences of a conviction be averted. To transport an innocent man for life—i. e. a man who, it is admitted, ought never to have been convicted—to consign such a one to all the horrible deprivations and inflictions comprehended in dragging out existence in a penal set tlement—is manifestly as much opposed to justice as send ing a lunatic to a penal settlement is inconsistent with reason, and dangerous to the safety of those, however degraded by crime, with whom he may be associated. We do not, by any means, adopt the hypothesis of the statement, that Dalmas' conviction was not justified by evidence. On the contrary, we consider that the proof was irrefragable. But assuming that well-sus tained doubt was raised in the breast of Sir James Graham as to its sufficiency, we contend that to cut the knot, which he was unable to untie, by transport ing the convict for life, was neither just to the indi vidual, respectful to the laws, nor safe to the public. The case of Dalmas naturally induces a comparison of it with the circumstances attendant on the case of Crouch, recently exetiuted at Newgate for the murder o f his wife, and the different treatment he received from Sir James Graham with that which Dalmas has received at his hands. The cases of Crouch and Dalmas occurred within a month of each other. The execution of Crouch was by no means in accordance with public opinion. He was generally regarded as a man " subject to fits of insanity," caused by the accident which had hap pened to him, and by which his brain was injured. No such defence was offered, or even suggested, in the case of Datums; whose exemption from the - extreme penalty of the law is regarded as extraordinary, if not un justifiable. The public opinion upon a comparison of both cases is, that as Dalmas was saved from the death to which be was consigned by the law, Crouch, who suffered its penalty under circumstances which rendered his sanity more than doubtful, was unjustly executed. STANDARD.—Courtesy commands that we reply, though we shall discharge the duty in few words, to the remarks with which the Courrier Francais has honoured this journal. It will probably be recollected that we engaged in controversy, with our Paris Contemporary with the simple design of proving that England can have no motive for exciting hostility against France, either in Morocco or in any other part of the north of Africa; and that the arguments by which we endeavoured to establish this proof—first, the direct and immedi ate interest which England, as a commercial nation, has in the preservation , of peace—we will add, the pro motion of prosperity and happiness everywhere, more especially in our own neighbourhood ; secondly, the full confidence to that effect—the conviction, whether well or ill-founded, universally . prevailing in this country— that ultimately we can in any event suffer nothing from the establishment of our neighbours upon the African coast. These considerations seemed to us suf ficient, in the absence of all evidence or pretence of evidence countervailing them, to demonstrate that Eng land has had no share in exciting the hostility of the Moors against France. We rested chiefly upon conside rations of interest, and we are not ashamed to have done so,-not only because practically among reasonable men and reasonably governed nations, interest chiefly pre vails, but also because - there is really nothing to be a .hawed of in the - motive. We have learned from all our best philosopher's and soundest divines— Locke and-Butler among others—that an enlightened self-interest is the great bond of society, and that the individual that succeeds best in bringing duty and pro fit into harmony, goes farthest in fulfilling the designs of the Author of all Good. In showing that peace, uni versal peace, is the interestof England, we show that Eng land has made an important - step in this honourable direc tion, and we put forward the fact (which the Courrier Francais acknowledges as indisputable) as -a just occa sion of pride, and a strong claim to the confidence of the world. We give, as it were, hostages to mankind that no insane ambition of conquest on our part—no irra tional glorkstu—nro vile feeling of e nv y or revenge willb their peace, and cause t h eir r9m pursuitpt us of to blood to be squandered. In proving what the ,Courrier Francais now admits; but what it before directly denied, that the peace of Africa is for the interest of England, we proved all we intended to prove, and it was with • reference to this point that we introduced the apologue the wolf and the lamb," not thinking to personify the French people by the savage animal, but the Courrier Francais itself, which plainly employed the wolf's argument—that as England' must have wished for a war , between Morocco and France, England kindled that war. We should be sorry, indeed, to suppose that France, or any considerable portion of the French people, is so absurdly ignorant of the interest, the policy, and the feeling of this country, as to suppose that we ought FINCHLEY TO BE LET, Unfurnished, at a very moderate Rent, and entered upon 2d August next, a compact FAMILY HOUSE, with flower and kitchen gardens, small stable, &c., delight fully situated near the Church, and commanding beautiful prospects of the surrounding country.

In speaking of the settlement of Algiers, our allusion to which is seized upon as a ground of *offence; we gave expres:Aon to a conviction which is, we believe, universal in. this country, and in most other countries of Europe, arid which is certainly held by a very great number of inteligent men in France itself—the conviction that the settlement cannot bo permanently maintained upon any very extensive scale, if at all, All the circumstances of the case considered, this conviction is riot In the least shaken by any votes which the Chamber of Deputes may • be compelled by " the pressure from without" to pass, or the Government may, by force of the same pressure, be compelled to pro pose. The history of the world, ancient and modern, presents no example of a territory as extensive =half as extensive—one-tenth as extensive as Algeria, per manently r, twined under such circumstances as those under which France has acquired and now holds that country. England, with her vast naval superiority, and the re.nurees for military service which her one hundred millions of talian population could sup ply, would deem it madness to attempt such an acquisition of territory. But the prevailing opinion of England in the matter is most plainly written in our policy. An equality, if not pralominance, in • the Mediterranean is of course as desirable to as as it can be to France ; but how have we sought to secure this object ? By . large territorial conquests ; expensive in their acquisition ; more expensive, and always hazardous in their preservation ? No ; though in 1800 we might have laid our grasp upon Sicily and a groat part of Egypt—though in 1816 we might have effected a lodgment in Algeria—though in 1840 we had the whole of Syria, to say noth;ng of the facility with which we "might at almost any moment during the war possess ourselves of the Balearic Islands, or any of them ; notwithstanding all these opportuni ties, England contents herself with half-a-dozen islands of the smallest size and the rock of Gibraltar, and these she finds amply sufficient for the protection of her com merce. Be our opinion respecting the permanence of the large French settlement in Algiers, however, correct or incorrect, it is surely unjust to ascribe that opinion to envy or ill. will. THE MORNING MAILS.

IRELAND. DEPARTURE OF LORD DE GREY. DUALLY, JULY 16.—Lord De Grey took his departure from Ireland this morning. His Excellency was accompanied from the Castle to the railway terminus at Westland-row by the members of the Vice-Regal Household, and a few of the officials, including the Master of the Rolls, Mr. Brewster the Castle adviser, and the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police. On all former occasions of the kind the Irish gentry considered it incumbent on them to attend the representative of the Sovereign during his progress through the streets of the metropolis •, but on this occasion his Excellency snugly esconsed himself in a close carriage, and in doing so exercised a wise discretion, if one may be permitted to judge from the groans, " both loud and deep," with which he was assailed along the whole line of march to Westland-row, which his Excellency reached at a quarter-past eleven, and where a special train was in readiness to receive him. At half-past eleven the train reached Kingston, and his Excellency, after receiving the salutes of the Guard of Honour, consisting of a company of the sth Fusiliers and a company of Royal Ma rines, immediately embarked for Liverpool. An attempt was made to, get up a cheer as the vessel left the pier, but there never was a more signal failure, until some of the knowing ones in the Vice-Regal train called for " three cheers for Dan," and then indeed Lord De Grey was made acquainted with the strength of Irish lungs; his Excellency thinking of course that the honour was intended for himself, appeared extremely gratified, and repeatedly bowed his acknowledg ments, and thus terminated.the reign of De Grey in Ireland. PRESBYTERIAN VISIT TO D. O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P., AND THE OTHER STATE PRISONERS. The Rev. William Hugh Doherty, Presbyterian Minister of Comber, in the county of Dow', and Moderator of the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, paid a visit to Mr. O'Connell, at the Richmond Penitentiary yesterday, for the purpose of expressing his thanks to that Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and through him to all the Roman Catholics of Ireland, both in and out of Parliament, for the generous and powerful sup port which they had given to his Synod in the matter of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. The Rev. Moderator also expressed his hopes of a speedy and favourable decision by the House of Lords on the writ of error, and the consequent termina tion of Mr. O'Connell's unjust imprisonment ; and stated for himself and all the Liberal Presbyterians of Ulster, that although they may differ from their fellow-countrymen, the Roman Catholics of Ireland, on the question of Repeal, they are (as far as he knows) perfectly unanimous in believing what Lord John Russell affirmed in the British Parliament, that " Mr. O'Connell has not had a fair trial:" Mr. O'Connell, in reply, thanked Mr. Doherty for his good wishes, and said that he had acted on pfinciple with regard to the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, wishing to protect innocent men from robbery. —he could not qualify the term in the least, from robbery ! and declared that Mr. Doherty, and the gentlemen with whom he acted, would always find him the firm, constant, and zealous friend of civil and religious liberty. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. James Brigden, a cow-keeper and dairy-man, of Gulston street, Whitechapel, was yesterday brought before Mr. Bro derip, at the Thames Police-office, for final examination, on a charge of manslaughter, in running his horse and cart over a young married woman, named Ann Jones, who was killed on the spot. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict. of manslaughter against Brigden last week, after a clear attempt on the part of Mr. Pelham to make -the transaction appear accidental. The Magistrate again went into the case at length. The de ceased, who was the wife of a mariner now at sea, and had re cently opened a shop in Chamber-street, Goodman's-fields, went out for an afternoon's walk on the Bth instant, with a female named Wilson, and they were passing along Stepney green, close to the edge of the footpath, when the prisoner, who was in a beastly state of intoxication, drove along the road with his horse and cart in a most furious and reckless manner. Both females were knocked down, and the wheels of the cart passed over the deceased, and she expired almost immediately of the injuries she received. The prisoner, who was thrown out of the cart by the shock, was himself hurt, and he afterwards put the body of his victim in the cart, having previously removed a calf that was in it, and. he drove at a furious rate towards the London Hospital, where the mangled remains of his victim were deposited, and he was given into custody. The witnesses said there was another man in the cart, but the prisoner was driving, and the horse was driven at a furious rate along a much frequented road. Not the slightest caution was used, and the ,utmost recklessness was exhibited by the prisoner in his drunkenness. No one in the cart gave any warning to the people in the road, and if they had done so it would have been useless, as the horse was driven at the rate of ,12 or 14 miles an hour close to the_footpath. . _ _ Mr. Charles Bell, a pupil of the London Hospital, said the deceaied was brought there in a lifeless condition on the afternoon of the Bth instant. The skull was injured, and there was excessive hemorrhage from the nostrils, and also from the ears and mouth.. The body was severely bruised. He was present at the post mortem examination. Death was caused by an effusion of blood caused by a concussion of the brain. Mr. MODEM'. committed the prisoner for trial for man slaughter; on which Mr: Pelham said he had an application to make that the prisoner should be admitted to bail. The evidence given before the Coroner raised something like a presumption that the occurrence was accidental. Mr..Bitt DEM.:—Accident ! what decision did the Coro ner's jury:come to? Mr. Pelham said their verdict certainly was manslaughter against . the prisoner. His client deeply regretted the lament able occurrence. The prisoner was a most respectable man, and had long carried on an extensive business with credit to himself and family, and his friends were ready to put in bail to any Amount A month. would elapse before the commence ment of the sessions, and an application to the judges for bail would be attended with trouble and expense he was desirous to avoid. Mr. BRODER'r said there was a good deal of furious driv ing going on, and people were hourly in danger of being run over. In this case a young woman lad been hurried out of life by a drunken man, owing to his reckless and, illegal driiing.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.-SINGULAR CASE. • Wednesday Mr. G. J. Mills, Deputy Coroner for the county of Middlesex, held an inquest at the Hammersmith work house of the Kensington union, in King-street, Hammer-. smith, on view of the body of a man unknown. It appeared from the evidence that about ten o'clock in the forenoon of Monday last, some bargemen, while navigating the Grand Junction Canal, discovered the body of the deceased in the water at that portion of the canal abutting on Wormwood Scrubs. The body was immediately got on shore, and con veyed to the Mitre beer-shop, close by, from whence it was removed to the above workhouse. - On an examination being made of the body, bricks were found in the deceased's pockets, weighing Vbs., and there was a mark of a cut across his throat, but which might probably have been made by the bottom of a boat passing over it. In one of the deceased's pockets Wl3 found a memorandum-book, in which was writ-_ ten, in a clear and neat hand, the following, which clearly shows that the deceased was labouring under delusions of a religious character:— "No murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. God suf fers none but those predestinated to damnation to commit self-destruction No human worm has a right to take away human life—it is the prerogative of God only. Not even in murder; for God oftentimes makes use of murderers as his agents, his police who watches everything that passes, or is transacted, not only in England, but in the fixed stars, those beautiful orders ( f sisters. Not an atom can move without the observance of his old police, those gentlemen without clothing (I ask pardon, they have sometimes feathers) who report the secrets of the heart to the head commissioners or to the heads of the government.. " What is life? A poor stage player, who frets and struts upon the stage and then is seen no more. " BILLY, the Immortal. "Try half the world, you would hang them with the other half. " What I have done, I have done to show you that I am more than mortal, but do you suppose you can destroy me ? No; my flesh may be cut to atoms with a million knives, but I am a fallen archangel yet! and shall have employment to punish the great only who offend God. " There are agencies at work at the present time to de stroy the holy religion of this country, founded on a pure and edifiable translation of the Holy Scriptures, or pure Word of God, a testimony which adheres to disbelievers, and which Deists laugh at, but which is a word of adamant." There was something also written in allusion to the late visit of the Emperor of Russia to .this country, but . the writing (pencil) was so illegible that it could not be deciphered. Deceased appeared to be between 40 and 50 years of age, and was dressed in a gambroon jacket, and black waistcoat and trousers, low shoes, and white stockings, and a black silk hat. Nothing whatever was found on him tending to lead to his identy. The jury, in the absence of any evidence as to how the deceased came into the water, or as to the state of his mind, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.- It was at one time expected that the state apartments would be closed to the public during her Majesty's temporary re tirement at the Castle. The Lord Chamberlain has arrived at Windsor upon a visit to the Quein, and it is now under stood that the whole of the state rooms will remain open during the stay of the Court, as heretofore, from eleven in the morning till six o'clock in the afternoon. On Tuesdays and Fridays the public will not be admitted, nor on Sundays until half-past one o'clock p.m. SALARY OF THE CLERK OF THE CROWN IN CHANCERY.—The following resolutions were last night agreed to, and Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Greene, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir George Clerk :- 1. " That a yearly salary of 1,000/. be paid to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, in lieu of the salary now paid to that officer." 2. " That provision be made, out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for making good any deficiency which may occur , in the Fee Fund of the Office of the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery." NEW HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST. — We understand, in consequence of the success which has attended Dr. Maddock, of the Dispensary, Judd-street, Brunswick-square, in his treatment of consumption, asthma, and many other complaints of the organs of breathing, and 'also of the heart, by inhalation, or the local application of ,remedies to the seat. of disease, it has been proposed to open an hospital in the northern part of the:metropolis, for the purpose of relieving many thousands of the humbler classes who annually suffer from these affections. In addition to the advantages to be reaped by the poor by the institution it is to be hoped that it will be the means of making the above mode of practice more generally known and appre ciated by the medical profession. ELOPEAIENT TO GRETNA-GREEN.—On Thursday last, Lieutenant Leeson, nephew to Lord Milltown, and youngest son of the late Hon. Mr. Leeson, of the Thorn, near Penrith, Cumberland, who is on leave of absence from his regiment, which is in the East Indies, eloped to Gretna• green, with Miss Laura Bristow, a daughter of John Charles Bristow, Esq., of Ensemere-hill, Ullswater, Westmoreland, and over whose head sixteen summers have scarcely flown. It appears that this young and gallant officer had laid his plans for the accomplishment of the siege of Ensemere-hill with great skill. Wednesday last was the day in which he intended to have stormed the works, but the garrison having, doubtless been apprised of his intentions, manned the walls so well all that day and night, that the besieger thought it right not to commence operations at that time. Next morn ing, however, the besieged, thinking all safe, made a sortie, and set sail up the lake of Ullswater to Patterdale, taking the young lady with them. The besieger was not aware of this, and the besieged had nearly made a safe retreat into the garrison again ; but one of the gallant officer's sharp shooters lay concealed among the brushwood, who seized the fair prize, and away she was taken to her betrothed, who was waiting at a short distance with a coach and four, and off the young officer went with his booty. Pursuit was in vain ; the fugitives soon passed over the six-and-twenty miles to Gretna-green, were married, and, it is said, they contemplate a speedy embarkation for India ; but it is expected that a re conciliation with her family will first take place, for that whichls passed cannot be recalled. THE FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT DOVER.—Wed nesday, about eleven o'clock, the body of Mr. Henry Raw lings, woollendraper, of Basinghall• street, London, who was drowned on Monday, was picked up in. the bay. The body of Sophia Bennett, one of the young ladies who perished at the same time, was found on Tuesday. An inquest was opened before the borough Coroner at one o'clock yesterday on both bodies, and the evidence went to show that the boat had been upset during a brisk gale while the boatmen were about to jib her. Thera did not appear to have been carelessness on the part of any one; but the boat was not a good one, and she carried too much sail for her size. The' inquest was adjourned for further evidence. NEW EAST-END STREET.— The houses at the Whitechapel terminus of the new street which is to connect Spitalfields with the docks being nearly demolished, there is now a clear opening from Whitechapel to Spitalfields Church. Several of the most obnoxious streets and courts in this locality have been removed to make way for this improvement, amongst the fbrmer being thoie notorious places, Essex and Rose-streets, a public-house in the first being the well-known resort of Turpin and his brother highwaymen. The new street having been formed, pre.; parations are being made to commence the erection of a superior line of shops. The whole of the houses on the left. hand side of Red Lion-street have been taken down, and those required in Leman-street, .up to the arches of the Blackwell Railway, are closed, prior to immediate demo'- lition. As the streets leading from the terminus at Spital.- fields Church are very narrow, and unfit for an increased traffic, it is supposed that the street will be extended dia gonally to Shoreditch, to the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, in which case some improvement must take place in Spitalfields-market, decidedly the most incons modious of any public place of business in the metropolis. FREE TRADE.—We believe it is but little known that an Act of Parliament was passed on the 4th July, inst., which repeals all former enactments relative to forestall, re grating, and engrossing in fairs, marts, and markets, and the preamble of this new Act clearly recognises the just princi ples of free-trade. The preamble runs thus : " Whereas, di vers statutes have been from time to time made in Parlia ments of England, Scotland, Great Britain, and Ireland res pectively, prohibiting certain dealings in wares, victuals, merchandise, and various commodities by the names of bad gering, forestalling, regrating, and engrossing, and subjecting to divers punishments, penalties, and forfeitures, persons so dealing; and whereas it is expedient that such statutes as well as certain other statutes, made in hindrance and re straint of trade, be repealed." The Act repeals, as tre have above observed, the old laws applying to forestalling, &c. Who can argue against a repeal of the corn-laws after this dear recognition of the principles of free-trade ? EDITORIAL THANKSGIVING.—There are, at present, no less than forty-seven editors of newspapers imprisoned iu France. It is lucky for the English press that Mr. Roebuck 'does not possess the same power as Louis Philippe, or else Newgate would contain three times the above number; that is to say, every editor in the kingdom who would not praise him.—Punch. AN ANTI-MALTHUSIAN.—One of the inmates of the Metropolitan Benefit Society's Asylum at Ball's-pond, Dalston, has given birth to 'no fewer than 32 children. On one occasion she was confined with four, on two with three children at a birth, besides at other times having given birth to twins. DEPRAVITY.—On Friday night the inhabitants of the rue Aumaire were thrown into commotion by the follow ing circumstance. A shoemaker, named Chevreuil, aged 22, lived with a woman named Bronne, of about the same age, in a very riotous manner, b o th being given up to drink. They were at last reduced to great want, and on the night in question, a strong odour of charcoal being perceived to come from their room, the commissary of police was in formed of the fact. He bad the door forced and found a. pan of charcoal burning iu the room, and the girl Bronne -lying on a truckle-bed in a corner, with a mask of cloth affixed closely to her face with shoemaker's wax She Ica, quite dead when the room was entered. Chevreuil being suspected of having murdered the girl, orders were given to have him sought out and arrested, When the Commissary returned to his office, he was surprised to find Chevreuil waiting for him there., He stated that he and his mistress had agreed to die together; 'and that they drank to excess to prepare themselves for the act. It was he who placed the mask on the girl's face. He then attempted to end his ow life, but his courage having failed, lie had come to place him self at the disposal of the Commissary. Chevreuil was imme diately sent to the prefecture.— Galignanrs Messenger. A. 'GOOD OPENING FOR SIR JAMES.;--At the Cus tom-house. things are passed without being opened; at the Post-office things are opened which should be held sacred. Let the officers of the two establishments change places, giving Sir James Graham the control of the Customs, and then - the_ business in each will be properly conducted.—Punch
