Painted by Danson and Teibm. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex isib.tion ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should he seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa . clone Lake, to be Nil y appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, this day, To wiorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday, conducted by Mr. Godfrey. are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing Justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearfni characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic At t, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands Who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, h:s achieved a matchless less triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. On To-Morrow, June 18, 1844 (the Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo), the Royal South London Floricultural Society will hold their first Grand Miscellaneous Flower Show. On which occasion In addition to the usual prizes of Gold and S lver Medals, Arc., several extra prizes will be glair n. eeding of the Animal; at Five—Concert at Six—Conflagration at Dusk.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday for the dixeussion of important State affairs. This is the general report, and the report also states that the Ca binet was summoned to take into consideration the " untoward" division in the Commons on tie Sugar Duties Bill. Shortly after the breaking up of the Cabi net, Sir Roneam PEEL proceeded to the Palace, and TN have heard walked all alone in a very pensive mood, looking neither right nor left, evidently ab sorbed in some matter of no ordinary . importance. The same report states that he tendered his resigna tion to her MAJESTY. This is possible ; and, what is more, it is a consummatio n that every friend of liberty would wish to see realised. Sir R. PEEL is too liberal for his colle-agnes And the motley crew that installed him Prime Minister. With the exception, perhaps, of` Mr. GLADSTONE, he has no free trader in the Cabinet—he.has no friend of Ireland—he has no man of sterling Liberal politics—and he has been obliged to fight the battle alone to carry out the principles of the Reform Bill, and • to adopt the practice of the Executive to a system which the old Tories detest, and which the new race, called Conservatives, regard with almost equal horror. Let him resign. What can they do' without him ? What man can the Tories put at their head ? BUCKINGHAM, or Ilicx- MOND, or STANLEY ! These are the only names that even the ultra-Tories can suggest; and - with all the power of the Church to support STANLEY, and all the monopolists hacking the two Dukes, the New Har mony. would be -brought to-a, close in one month. Sir RornEnt PEEL sees his Way. He sees that the Roform Bi with all its defects, has produced a gr ' oficiliit isx ,4nd that he mu s t o b ey i t.

There is nothing annoying—nothing indecorous —say these exclusive and would-be genteel folks—in riding out on Sundays on horseback or in a carriage ; the annoyance and the indecorum consist in galloping about on a donkey, or ascending a swing —heinous vulgarities, which cannot but be exceedingly offen sive to the refined notions of all the "respectable " individuals who may chance to reside in the imme diate vicinity of the profaned fields where they are perpetrated ! There is an infinite deal of cant and narrow-mindedness in this assumption. If the gentleman has his horse, or his carriage, or his pleasure-boat ; why should not the mechanic have his donkey and his swing ? If the former may enjoy himself, as best suits his fancy, on the Sab bath, why should not the l a tt er b e a ll owe d t h e same _ _ privilege ? GOD knows, wealth and gentility have already quite power enough in this Mammon-wor shipping, respectability-ridden country, without arro gating to themselves the additional right to deprive the poorer classes of the community of the few enjoy ments which inexorable circumstances have left them. The judicious and tolerant decision of Mr. PAYNTFIL will, we trust, not be without its effects in lowering the pretensions of the respectable and would-be ex . elusive members of society, who can see not the slightest harm in any Sunday amusements which they themselves may choose to indulge in, but de nounce every species of recreation as a " nuisance" that is pursued by the poorer classes, who have but one day in the week on which to enjoy themselves. This upstart pharisaical assumption, on the part of those who should know better, cannot too promptly or too decidedly be put down by the force of public opinion. 'We cannot allow the Report of the Select Com mittee on Gaming to subside into the " limbo" which is the early, and certain, destination of all Parliamen tary papers, without offering a word or two upon its contents and its pretensions. It is entitled to this notice. Had it, indeed, no other claim - on our atten tion, it is so eminently characteristic of the House of Commons, and of the spirit of the age, that, upon that account alone, it would be our duty to receive it with a special greeting. All the tendencies of the House of Commons are to class legislation. This report is directed against a class—not the general community —of gamblers. The tendency of the age is cant; and every line of this document is responsive to it. Thus the, report, as we have intimated above, is identified with our times and with our Legislature. The Select Committee, it seems, was " appointed to inquire into the existing statutes against gaining of every kind; to ascertain to what extent these statutes are evaded; and to consider whether any and what amendment should be made in such statutes." if it have satisfied the first branch of this triple charge, (which we are not disposed absolutely to allow,) it has strangely slighted the other two. Like the chur lish Jupiter of the poet to his supplicant, the Select Committee has doled out but scant measure to the expectant House of .Commons, which invoked its as sistance ; for the " Select " have granted but half its prayer ; The rest the winds dispers'd in empty air." There are but three statutes mentioned by name or designation throughout the report; the "extent to which they are evaded," is a matter disposed of in a single paragraph ; namely, " with regard to the extent to which these laws have been evaded, your Committee might be justified in saying that, with the exception of the enactments for the suppression of common gaming -houses, these laws have, generally speaking, and with some particular and occasional exceptions, seldom been called into action." The "amendments" which are recommended as proper to be made in the existing laws for the repression of gaming, we shall notice presently. On the first branch of their inquiry, the Committee obtained the assistance of Mr. Justice PATTESON, and of Mr. STARKIE and Mr. BELLENDEN KEE, " the two Commissioners for making a digest of the criminal laW, and they beg to rifer to the evidence of those three persons, and to the papers furnished by the two latter,. (and inserted in the appendix to this report,) fur a full and accurate detail of the enactments now in force which bear upon gaming of all kinds." But the appendix has not yet been delivered out from the Vote-office ; and we are treated at present to the somewhat vague or trite information, " that upon some branches of the subject much uncertainty exists, as to what the law, as bearing upon any given case, really is"--an interesting, and, withal, a notorious uncer tainty-, which it did not need the sagacity of two Commissioners to discover, being a fact within the certain knowledge of ninety and nine out of every one hundred of her MAJESTY'S subjects. Now as to "gaming of all kinds," it would indeed have been desirable to receive from the House of Commons a report, indicating, expounding, and:re- to his credit. He has endeavoured, we admit by stealth, to carry out the principles of his pre decessors, but possibly he could not act otherwise. Fools must be treated according to their folly. We cordially hope that he will set them at defiance, and resign rather than submit to the shackles which the monopolists in corn and sugar, and almost every necessary of life, would impose upon him. His resignation would seal the fate of the Tory dynasty— . a result which would be hailed by acclamation by _almoat _every honest man in the country. It is not often that we have occasion to praise the sagacity and liberality that characterise the deci sions of our police magistrates, who, in far too many cases, exhibit a spirit of forbearance towards the rich and the respectable, which they cannot find it in their nature to exhibit towards the poorer classes of the community; but the judgment of Mr. PAYNTER, in a case which came before him on Saturday last, at the Wandsworth police-office, is an exception to the rule usually observed by his brother magistrates, and we feel, therefore, sincere satisfaction in bearing our humble testimony to his rare forbearance, good sense, and appropriate kindliness of feeling. The case which called for this gentleman's decision is as follows :—Some time last summer a pier was erected near the Red House at the instance of the the Westminster Steam-boat Company, to enable their vessels to land and embark passengers. In con sequence of this accommodation Battersea-fields have become a favourite resort on the Sunday for some thousands of mechanics, their wives and children, where they may obtain a mouthful of fresh air, and get a glimpse of something that may remind them of the country. To increase the amusement of these toil-worn artisans, several persons have speculated on the letting out of horses and donkeys for penny rides ; and one individual, in par ticular, has laid out a considerable sum of money in the erection of a gigantic swing. It was to devise some means of putting a stop to these " nuisances" —as they were termed—that a police Inspector waited upon the magistrate. Mr. PAINTER having heard the particulars of the case, inquired whether the spot on which these amusements were indulged in, was common-land or private property, and being told that it was private, observed, that in that case he had no power to interfere, adding—we quote his own words—" and I do not see why I should inter fere. In no other country are the working-classes restricted in their Sunday amusements, and I do not see, so long as these amusements are harmless in their character, that they should be restricted in this country. The gentry throng Rotten-row on the Sabbath in carriages and on horseback ; then why is the same privilege to be denied to the humble mechanic ?" To these judi cious and liberal observations the Inspector made an swer, that he should not have dreamed of interfering, but that some of the resident gentry made complaints, on which Mr. PAINTER very properly rejoined— " Let the gentry, before they make these complaints, set an example of abstinence in their own persons." No doubt the " respectable" people who reside in the immediate neighbourhood of Battersea-fields amuse themselves on the Sabbath in their own peculiar fashion —no doubt they take special care to indulge in the luxury of a ride or a drive into the parks or the country, or take the air on the river in their own wherries or sailing-boats--no doubt, too, they pursue these sabbatical amusements without entertaining the slightest notion that they are guilty of a "nuisance" in doing so; and yet, when the humbler classes of their fellow-countrymen presume to claim the same privilege, substituting merely the swing for the carriage, and the donkey for the horse, then, forsooth, they are not only setting a naught the sacred institution of the Sabbath, bu rRE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 18 " At present wagers are chiefly confined to sporting events, but the practice of wagering is still deeply rooted in the habits of the nation, and the practical imposition of pecuniary penalties for wagers would be so repugnant to the general feelings of the people, that such penalties would scarcely ever be enforced, or if enforced would be looked upon as an arbitrary interference with the free dom of private life." We must own these passages gave us some mis givings. 'We recollected a recent threatened catas trope of an avalanche of " qui tam" actions impend ing over most noble Dukes, and Lord GEORGES, and sporting Colonels—suddenly and miraculously ar rested in its descent, by the sedative effect of a pro tective or indemnity Bill, for a term, carried through both Houses with a speed that " Running Rein" him self might have envied. 'We turned first to the list of the Committee, where we found such names as WORSLEY and LASCELLES, Colonel PEEL and Captain BERKELEY, and Sir HORACE SEY MOUR —O n some of whom the qui-tam antipathy is most powerful)—and then we turned to this strangely sympathising senti ment. Was it contributed by the Gallant Colonel himself ? " But to keep upon the Statute-book laws of a penal character which have become obsolete and are little known, having fallen into desuetude, is not a matter of indifference ; because such laws being called into action now and then, in special and particular cases, from mo• tives arising out of personal considerations become snares for the few instead of being restraints for the many ; and instead of promoting what their framers considered to be the public interest, they are converted into instru ments for gratifying the passions of private individuals." We have, elsewhere, taken the trouble to string together the various paragraphs of this very short re port, the burden of which is—not the evils of gaming in general and society at large, but of " gaming booths on race-courses" to the gentry of the sporting world in particular. In the same spirit, whilst " common gaming-houses," by that appellation, are devoted to the infernal gods, by all the forms of im precation and adjuration which the Ancients would have used, had they had any Tribunes in the shape of Police Inspectors of A, B, and C Divisions, to em ploy for such a purpose ; mere aristocratic gaming houses—(" uncommon" ones, we wish the truth would allow us to call them, in contradistinction to the doomed "common" ones)—are but once even glanced at in this report. In that solitary instance the notice is almost parenthetical : " Your Committee think that it would be very de sirable that some measures should be adopted for the purpose of suppressing gaming -tables kept by the pro prietors of club-houses, the mixed character and the re gulations of which render it doubtful whether they pro perly fall within the description of common gambling houses ; provided such suppression could be effected trithout any violation of the general principle which pro tects private houses from intrusion : but the inquiries o your Committee have not enabled them to suggest any specific enactments- for the accomplishment of this ob. ject." By this time our readers will concur with us in reprobating the cant, and denouncing the class. interest principle of such legislation as is either re cognised or recommended in this report. The further extracts we publish from it will confirm these I:iews of its demerits. Madrid journals of the 9th inst. have been re ceived. The Finance Minister, from all accounts, is sadly puzzled to find ways and means to carry on the Government. The treasury is empty, and no one will lend money but at an enormous interest. The Funds are more depressed than they have been at any former period. On the Bth the Three per Cents. had fallen to 26i for cash and 26i- at 60 days ; and the Fives to 20 for cash and 20 at 60 days. The following extract of a letter from Gibraltar, which appears in the Tiempo, contains the latest in telligence from Morocco : " Advices from Tangiers, of the 28th May, state that the Spanish naval forces before .that port consist of the Christina frigate, the Venus corvette, the Mazanares, and Nervion, brigs. ; the Andaluz steamer and two packets, the Rayo and Carthagena. Those forces were ordered to support the Spanish Cabinet's claims, and to offer refuge to our countrymen, should events force them to quit the territory of Morocco. On the 28th the Emperor had returned no answer to the ulti matum which the Spanish Vice-Consul at Tangiers had con veyed to Larache. The English Consul takes an active part in all the negotiations ; it is said that he is ordered by his Government to avert, by all possible means, a rupture be tween Spain and Morocco, seeing that England is interested in the empire retaining all its force and its whole territory. With this view the English Consul would appear to be in structed to recommend moderation, and prevail en the Em peror to give Spain satisfaction for the vexations she com plains of. General Wilson, Governor of Gibraltar, has been to Tangiers. The motive which may have induced him to proceed thither is a mystery." . We learn from the Park Monileur of Saturday, that dispatches had been received from General LAMo- RICIERE, dated the sth inst., being six days later than the dispatch which announced the collision between the French troops and the Moors on the frontiers of Morocco. No further engagement had taken place, and the intelligence was considered so favourable, that the departure of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, had been postponed for some days. In the meantime, it is said an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal SOULT had been dispatched to Morocco on a special mission, for the purpose of settling the differences between the two countries. This is certainly a much more rational plan than to dispatch a fleet under the command of an inexperienced youth, anxious to rival his brother (the Duke D'AusiALz), and make a sensation in France by an attack on Tan giers or Mogador. On Friday the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on, railroads was .continttedt commending any necessary amendments in the sta tute law directed against a crime against the peace and property of individuals and the bonds of social connexion, and the security of Government itself, so heinous as gaming, in the general sense of the term. It saps all the foundations of moral feeling ; under mines all moral responsibility in every relation of domestic life ; and ultimately debauches, by a process of certain mental corrintion, the integrity of the public servant, as well as the honesty of the private citizen. To one absorbing demon passion —a com bination of fierce rapacity and crafty avarice—it is ever ready to sacrifice the most precious associations of domestic life, the most sacred principles of honour, the calls of duty, the memory of affections. On that altar the gamester, in the madness of his irrepressible excitement, will immolate fortune, station, character —the property •of his children, the interests of his posterity—his friends ; his country—all his hopes ' here—all his destiny hereafter ! Is this the crime— so hideous, yet so common—a treason against the peace of every class of that society with whose limits it may be said to be co-extensive—which the Select Committee appear by their report to have aimed at effectually putting down by the powers of the law ? Let us see how this is. The report classes " the laws now in force about gaming" un•ier four heads 1. Those of early periods (as 17 ED. IV., C. 3, Hex. VIII., c. 9) " which prohibited certain games on po litical grounds," for example, in order to prevent the disuse of archery. 2. Those in the nature of sump tuary laws, against what was considered, when they were passed, excessive gaming, such laws being "destined to restrain private individuals from wasting their substance by losing too much money on games and pastimes." 3. Laws against fraud, and for the pre vention of cheating, &c., at games upon which money is to be lost and won. 4. Those which relate to pub lic morals, and prohibit common gaming-houses and public gambling as nuisances, " whereby unwary men are led into dissolute and vicious habits," &c. They who, in reference to the passage we have marked by inverted commas, under No. 2 in this enu meration, may naturally expect to find strong recom mendations to enforce old, or provide new, efficient laws against the stupendous gambling of the turf— that is the grand stand or the betting-room—will be as disappointed as those who may assume that, under No. 4, are to be included Crockford's or Boodle's, or the gorgeous hells of more modern creation, which grace the vicinity of St. James's. On the subject of "betting," in truth, the report rises to a strain of elo quent deprecation of the folly they committed who had ever dreamed of legally restraining such an amusement—for the upper classes. For mark how the class feeling of the House creeps in, and upsets all the pretence of moral solicitude which the Committee had previously expressed : " What sense can there be in declaring by law that a man may win or lose ten pounds by a game or a wager; but that if he win or lose a larger sum, he shall be liable to a heavy fine ? Does such a law even accomplish its own apparent purpose of protecting individuals from their own imprudence ? For may not that sum, the loss of which is a trifle to a man in one class of society, be a matter of great importance to another man in a poorer condition? And if protection is the object of this law, does it not protect most those who from their station in life need protection the least, and leave comparatively unprotected those of an inferior class, who may be se• vere sufferers from apparently small losses." This is pretty well. But we were still more sur prised at a subsequent passage, in which a very "spe cial plea," is put in to save the interests—of the betting ring:— and virtually brought to a close by a division, in which the Government had a large majority. M. DE BORT moved, as an amendment to the Govern ment plan, that a sum of 47,000,000 francs be voted for laying down the rails of the line between Orleans and Bordeaux, and then leasing it for a term of twelve years. The object of this motion was that the State should execute all the works on railroads, and then farm out the lines to companies. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 40. On this subject the Journal des Debats has the following remarks : "This result was foreseen, and we hope will put an end to the question of short leases, and their advocates we hope will return to more wholesome ideas. It may be conceived that the system of execution and working by the State would have many strong partisans; and yet, strange to say, not a Member of the Chamber rose tosupport.it when it was pro posed. If it offers great risk, it also presents incontestible advantages. It seduces by its grandeur and by its simplicity —it exposes the Treasury to great losses, but it assures it the whole of the profits; and it is very singular that the authors of the amendment, persuaded as they appear to be that these profits would be very considerable, would consent so benevo lently to sacrifice a part of them to the farming companies. Besides, the working of the lines of the State leaves to the Government the free and permanent arrangement of the tariffs. All these advantages disappear in the system of short leases ; the companies incur not the least risk, and are assured of a considerable profit. Why, therefore, should these privileges be renounced by the State and thrown into the hands of the farming companies? "The plan of the Government is founded on other bases, and has a peculiar character ; it does not engage the finances of the State, and does not encumber it with an uncertain result; it assures to the railroad system a more rapid deve lopment, and favours that spirit of association which has produced such grand effects in a neighbouring country. "The Committee on the Bill has added fresh conditions, all tending to its improvement. There will be as many third class carriages attached to every train as may be required ; the Government will reserve to itself to regulate the maxi mum and the minimum of speed. If the company lower their fares they cannot again raise them but after a delay of three months for passengers and of twelve months for goods. The advantages of the most perfect centralization are thus obtained; and we think that this is much better than to have thrown the Government of a nation of 35,000,000 of subjects into the embarrassment of an administration at once gigantic and complicated." The Revue des Deux Mon des thus adverts to the visit of the KING to the Queen of ENGLAND : " The journey of the King is now decided upon, although it is adjourned till after Queen Victoria's accouchement. King Louis Philippe, on landing in England, would, most un doubtedly, meet there with the cordial reception and warm demonstrations which the enemy of Poland could not ex pect; the people would crowd on his passage, and meetings would take place in every part of the kingdom, to organise for him a triumphal reception. But the exalted sense of the Prince who presides over the destinies of France. has induced him to reject such dangerous success, and such fatal acclamations. He will not expose himself to being selected as the devoted friend of England, and will not give the enemies of his dynasty such a theme to turn to account. The King will return, at the Isle of Wight chateau, the family visit which has been paid to him at Eu ; he will arrive thither, it is said, on board a steamer, without appariel and eclat, and impart as scrupulously as Queen Victoria herself did, quite a personal character to his visit." Mr. Hammond, solicitor, of Clifford's Inn, was then called and examined by Mr. WILKENS—He proved that Miss Wortham was entitled to an estate of the value of 4001. per annum. After the examination of several witnesses, and a speech for the defence, the Judge summed up. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) An old woman, upwards of eighty years of age, named .3lary Farrington, was placed at the bar charged with begging. A policeman in private clothes stated that he saw the de fendant begging yesterday morning in Brompton-row. He saw her stop several respectable persons and solicit alms, but only one person relieved her. He took her into custody, and found 4d. in her pocket. She was before Mr. Burrell on a similar charge, on Saturday, when she was cautioned and discharged. Defendant—l begged because I was distressed. The defendant's daughter, a woman between 40 and 50, here stepped forward. Mr. Bonn—Why do you allow your mother to go begging about the streets? The daughter—l have supported her for fourteen years since the death of my father in 1827. My husband is confined to bed by illness, and I have four chil dren. My mother is so very old and feeble that many per: sons give her money in the streets. Mr. BOND said he had had too much experience in such matters to give a ready belief to statements of that kind. The daughter (going down on her knees)—Tell me any thing that I can do, and I will do it. My mother is very respectably connected, and I can assure you i s not in the habit of begging. Only let me have her back again. The officer said he had known the old woman for the last wren years, and always suspected her to be a beggar, though he could not positively-state she was one. Twe other policemen said they knew both mother and daughter by sight, but had never seen either of them beg. They knew nothing of their characters. The daughter said they might, if they thought proper, make inquiries at the place where she lived, Exoter-buildings, Chelsea, and they would find what .she had stated was the truth. She again earnestly urged the Magistrate to let her mother go. Mr. BOND said all he wanted was to protect the public from being annoyed. He was afraid if he discharged the defendant she would go and beg again. The daughter said that she would endeavour to get her mother into Lambeth workhouse, in which parish she had lived and paid rates for many years. Mr. BOND discharged the defendant, and told her that If' she were brought before him again on a similar charge, she. would be severely dealt with. The old woman, who appeared to be bowed down with age and infirmities, then left the Court with her daughter, and the 41d., found o n h er p erson , was h an d e d to her by the pc,. liceman. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Greenwood, on taking his seat on the bench, called the intention .of Sergeant Wilkinson , of the G division of police to a very great nuisance in the vicinity of the Police-court. The Magistrate remarked that in the morning, about the time the Court opens, more particularly on Monday mornings, an immense crowd of bad characters assemble in front of the Police -court, some of them half drunk and all of them indecorous. They had no right to assemble in this manner, and if the police of the G division did not suppress the nuisance, he would certainly apply to the Commissioners of Police on the subject. The reporter may add that it has come to his knowledge that several of the shopkeepers in the Bagnigge-wells-road, are about memorialising the magistrates of this Court con cerning the nuisance to which Mr. Greenwood adverted. They urge that they sustain a large pecuniary loss from it as respectable persons avoid a neighbourhood where they may be offended by the most obscene and blasphemous language. Several of the inhabitants of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn road, opposite the Court, have lately left from the same cause. The crowd is sometimes so great as two hundred, consisting of unfortunate women, thieves, and, in short; the veriest off scourings of society. Sergeant Wilkinson promised to attend to the matter• in future, and the subject dropped. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) .Robert and James Stubbs, brothers, and Robert Balls and Peter Foster, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Rawlins on , charged with the following disgraceful conduct It appeared, from the evidence of the several witnesses that at three o'clock on the previous afternoon the four prisoners were engaged fighting near the Hayley Arms, Camden -town. They were. surrounded by a crowd of 500 persons, who very studiously kept a clear ring, lest the " noble masters of fence" might be incommoded. The police, however; aided by some of the more respectable inhabitants of the district " broke ground," and conveyed the actors-in-chief to the station-house. Mr. RAWLINSON said that such an exhibition on a Sunday afternoon, and in the public highway, was most disgrateful. He should, therefore, fine them each 40s, or a month itt'the House of Correction.

William Burton Newenham, aged 34, described in the calendar as a labourer, was charged with forcibly carrying away a young lady named Frances Louisa Wortham, she being at the time a ward in Chancery. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Parry, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarkson. Mr. WiLirms stated the case to the jury, and said that it was of' such a nature that he almost feared to approach it, for he had never met with a case marked with so much mean ness and cowardice as that which characterised the present case. The father of the young lady whose abduction had been caused by the prisoner, was formerly a traveller, and before his death his circumstances became rather embarrassed, and in consequence of this he let out a portion of his house in lodgings, and the prisoner came to live in his house. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances under which Miss Wortham, the young lady in question, be came entitled to certain property, and afterwards detailed the circumstances under which the present prosecution bad ori ginated, and he then called the witnesses in support of the case. Mrs. Frances Wortham was called, and examined by Mr. PARRY—She stated that she resided at 18, Gerard-street, Islington. She had one child, whose name was Frances Louisa Wortham. She would be 16 years of age next Christmas. Witness was a widow, her husband having died in June 1842. She had known the prisoner since 1840; he was present when Mr. Wortham died, and he lived in wit ness's house until the abduction took place. Shortly before Mr. Wortham died it was ascertained that Miss Worth= was entitled to a large property, which would come to her on the death of the tenant for life. After Mr. Wortham's death the tenant for life of the property died, and the prisoner was requested to take the title-deed to a gentleman in Clifford's Inn to have his opinion upon it. The witness then entered into a minute detail of the circumstances out of which this case had arisen, the whole of which have recently been before the public in the police reports of the case when it was in course of investigation before the magistrate. She was then subjected to a long cross-examination by Mr. CLARKSON, from which it appeared that, on several oc casions, her daughter had declared that if she were sent to school again she would run away. Witness never said to the prisoner" I know your intention is to marry my daugh ter; do it then in an honourable way." She would swear that she never said anything like this. The prisoner had. frequently purchased her daughter articles of clothing. The prisoner had on some occasions paid money for witness. She had been with the prisoner on several occasions to the thea tres and other places of amusement. On one occasion, since she had known the prisoner, she had occupied lodgings in Prince Edward's-street. She had but one room there, and it was used as a bed-room and a sitting-room. The prisoner used frequently to come thcre, and he had been in the room on several occasions for several hours. Had frequently been out with the prisoner on country excursions. They were fre quently out together for two or three weeks. They travelled in the prisoner's phaeton, and the prisoner sat by the side of witness's daughter always. They were out together last year from June to October. The prisoner paid the expenses. Three months after the death of Mr. Wortham,, the prisoner wished Miss Wortham to go to school, and offered to pay for her schooling himself. Witness consented to this, but with the understanding that he should be remembered when Miss Wortham obtained her property. Witness never repre sented to the proprietresses of the boarding-school to which Miss Worthans was sent that the prisoner was Miss Wor tham's guardian. The prisoner had frequently shown wit ness rolls of bank- no t es o f hi s own. Witness frequently had charge of the prisoner's pocket and banker's-books. During last summer, witness, prisoner, and Miss Wortham, went out for an excursion. The prisoner on that occasion bought a phaeton for 1201. to travel in. He paid for it himself. In the course of this excursion they stopped at 'Waltham-cross, and they all three slept in the same room. It was a double bedded room, and was the only room they could get in the house. The prisoner presented witness with a gold watch, which she accepted. Remembered having told a lady at Chelsea that the prisoner was her brother-in-law. Re-examined by Mr. Wuxi/is—When the prisoner first came to lodge with witness he paid 18/. a year. He after wards only occupied one bed-room, and for that he paid 81. a year. The apartments were unfurnished. A short time after Mr. Wortham's death, the prisoner spoke to witness about marriage, and she told him that they never could be happy together, as their relative positions were so different. Witness told him that she would always look upon him as a brother. _ - --. THE BOURSE--SATURDAY,.. JUNE 15. First Highest Lowest Last Price. . ce.

His Majesty the King of Saxony visited Woolwich Dock-yard this morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Lord DENMAN sat this morning at Nisi Prius with Middle sex Special Juries. The first case, Doe dem. Peters v. Peters, was an action of ejectment, in which the verdict passed for the defendant. The only other case, the Assignees of Cundy, ; bankrupt, v. Gummow, was an action brought to try the validity of en execution put in by defendant on the goods of the bankrupt just previous to the issuing of the fiat. The case had not concluded when we went to press. Neither of the cases were of any public interest EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) (Before Baron ROLFE and a Special Jury.) ATTORNEY-OF.NEEAL V. DEANE. This case had occupied the Court the whole of Saturday, and, to judge from the progress now making, will not be over until a late hour to-day. It is in the shape of an informa tion for recovery of heavy penalties from the defendant, for alleged participation in the very serious frauds upon the re venue, recently discovered by the Customs. The evidence brought forward is of a voluminous nature, but exceedingly dry and technical in its character. The general facts have long been before the public, and having nothing in them or', more than an ordinary nature, are not worth recapitulation. The result alone will possess interest, and that, judging from appearances, will not be arrived at until long after our time for going to press. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) NEWTON V. RO\y E AND NORMAN. This case was proceeded with at the sitting of the Court this morning. Mr. Harper, the shorthand writer, was recalled, and proved the speech made by the plaintiff, when bringing the charge of conspiracy against Lady Ricketts, before the magistrates at Cheltenham. The witness was examined at some length, as to what took place before the magistrates. Edwin Bowles was called, and proved the handwriting of Mr. Steele, the magistrate, to the informations sworn against Cooke by the plaintiff. Mr. Joseph C. Strawford was next called and examined— lam a solicitor, at Cheltenham. I have been in business since 1818. I was solicitor to the late Sir R. Ricketts. I was dathßaßueicgircklkeatetenttrs:ds;fCunaffrpered a good deal from ill health. well acquainted with the family. The family consisted of Sir daughters, e Hen rs : ym Sirs. Newton ent andßicketts, th r e a e .uCfnmssnyoungerunmarried brother, Cornwallis named Harriet, Lavinia, and Maria. Mrs. Newton was married in 1828. No settlement was made ; a proposal was made by Mr. Newton. Mrs. Newton had an interest in 2,5001., under a will. I called on Mr. Newton by desire of Sir Robert, stating that he commissioned me to double the 2,500/. if that sum, to which Mrs. Newton was entitled, was settled on her. Mr. Newton did not accede to that proposition. There was a will of Sir Robert in existence at the time of the marriage of Mrs. Newton. A codicil was added to it. The hand-writing of the codicil is all in Sir Robert's hand-writing; it is dated April 1829. The codicil was to the effect that Mrs. Newton having married contrary to the wish of her parents, he (Sir Robert Rickett's) cancelled the will he made, by which 2,5001. was left her, but leaving her the interest of 2,000/. to be continued to her children if she had any. There was a third will of the Bth of July, 1829, also cancelled ; there was one of 1832, also cancelled; also a will of 25th April, 1835, which stated that it was not the intention of the testator to make any further provision for Mrs. Newton than that which was made by an indenture of the 30th June, 1832. There was another will of 1840, also cancelled, which con tains a similar provision. The last will was that of 1842. In July, 1842, I came to London, previous to which I had con versations with Sir Robert respecting a new will. Late in July I returned to Cheltenham from London. In my ab sence inquiries had been made for me. A time was appointed for me to go to Sir Robert; it was three o'clock on the 30th of July. The last will was prepared by me. The will was executed on the same day. Sir Robert said he was very glad the will was drawn up, as he was very anxious about it. lie desired me to state the particulars of the will, and the altera tions I had made. He perfectly understood what I told him. None of the alterations related to the disposition of his pro perty. Mr. Wright, the medical attendant of the family, was there at My request. The principal reason for my requesting Mr. Wright to be present, was to satisfy my mind that Sir Robert understood the nature of the will. Mr. Wright was medical attendant to the family about three years. George Buttman and Edward Cousins were also present. I told them to be present to attest the will. It is usual for a solicitor who prepares a will to take his clerks, unless some other person is wished for. They were my clerks. Buttman is dead. Cousins is here. Buttman signed the will. He was a long time in the office. I understood it was difficult or painful for Sir Robert to sign the will ; having known this, I changed the last sheet of the will. I explained this to Sir Robert. He said he was glad it was, and would be obliged if one of the witnesses present would sign his name for him. Buttman did so. It was then witnessed by Mr. Wright and Mr. Cousins. Before and after the witnesses were called in, I asked Sir Robert if he per fectly understood the will. He said perfectly. There is not the slightest reason to believe he was incapable of under standing what had been said to him. There was a great prostration'of strength, and a good deal of bodily infirmity, but his mind was perfectly sound. After the execution of the will, Sir Robert asked me to sit down and have a little chat with him, saying he feared he would not be able to see me much longer. I remained with him about half an hour. He spoke on various subjects. I did not see bins any more. The greatest possible affection subsisted between Sir Robert and his wife on all occasions. There was nothing extraordi nary in his leaving the principal part of his property to his wife. He received the greater part of his property through his wife. The trial was proceeding when we went tc press.) DIABOLICAL ACT OF INCENDIARISM, DEVONPORT, JUNE 13.—The county of Cornwall, which had hitherto escaped the torch of the incendiary, we have reason to be-. lieve suffered from such a diabolical cause this day. About one o'clock this morning a fire was discovered on the farm of Mr. John Luscombe, of Sherwick Barton, about six miles from Torpoint, opposite this place, which raged with such inconceivable fury, in consequence of the dryness of the weather and the combustibility of the materials, that in a very short time, all the valuable ricks of corn, hay, straw, together with the whole of the outhouses, barns, &c., were totally consumed. Fortunately; the farm-house escaped. This calamity to Mr. Luscombe has excited'universal com, miseration in Devonport and its vicinity, as he was held, to be an excellent master, and justly esteemed in his neighbour , hood. The Barton is about 170 acres, close to the Liikeard road. _ • _ • Total p 58 927 270 1,054 Previous week's arrival - MONE YAM) COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The important public sales of wool having terminated, it is highly satisfactory to remark that they have' gone off ex tremely well, and that the reduction of the duty upon foreign sorts has not in any way affected the value of the colonial staple, all descriptions experiencing a brisk demand. The quality of the Australian and Cape fleeces is considered to have exhibited an improvement as compared with last season, when they were affected by the drought and scarcity of labour. By private ship, accounts have been received to the 13th April, from Buenos Ayres. They convey, however, no defi nitenews respecting the progress of the war, being, neverthe less, made to read in favour of the Argentines. The British Minister, Mr. Turner, had arrived out at Monte Video, and it was hoped would use his good offices to effect some arrange ment whereby further bloodshed may be spared. The sugar question is the subject of almost universal con versation in the City, and the greatest interest is felt to hear what Sir Robert Peel will say in the House this evening. The fact that the loss of the revenue on the West India staple would necessitate a remodelling of the Ministerial finance plans is, of itself, sufficient to excite interest here. The English Funds have this morning felt the influence of the majority obtained against the Government, and of its reported resignation having been tendered to the Queen, although this is not fully credited.

The finest samples of English Wheat found buyers, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight ; but, in the middling and inferior qualities, only a limited bu siness was doing, and previous rates were with difficulty sup ported. The supply of fine qualities of Foreign Wheat offering was a full average one ; and much caution was manifest on the part of the dealers in effecting purchases at the asking rates. The best Dantzic must be considered quite as dear ; but where sales were pressed of the inferiordescriptions rather lower rates were taken. In corn under lock, if we except very fine Barley, currencies were almost nominal. Fine Chevalier parcels of Barley were held at a trifling improve ment in value ; while, in other kinds, a steady business was doing, at full rates. The Malt trade was rather active, and last week's extreme figures were realised. All descriptions of Oats at full rates. Beans a trifle dearer. Peas, both Eng lish and Foreign, at late rates. Flour without alteration. Clover, Canary, and Linseed, at very full prices; • CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Notwithstanding the high temperature, the attendance of both town and country buyers was numerous. For the primest Scots, Home-breds, &c., there was. an improved de mand, and, in som e f ew i ns t ances , 3 s 10d per 81bs was ob tained for those breeeds. In other kinds of beef very little business was doing, at unaltered currencies. The number of Sheep was again large, yet the trade was not so heavy as noticed in our last report, and full prices were obtained by the salesmen. Lambs were firm, at an advance of 4d per 81bs. The highest quotation for Calves did not exceed 4s per 81bs. In Pork we can notice no alteration in figures. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. a d. to s. d. s. d. to s. d.

Fine qualities of old Potatoes are in request at very full prices, bat other descriptions are a mere drug. Whites, from Holland, have sold at from 50e to 55s per ton. New Po tatoes are selling at from 103 to 168 per cwt. BOROUGH UOP Although the supply of Hops offering here is very small, yet the late advance in the quotations is steadily supported. No betting has taken place on the duty. TALLOW. This market is improving. The price for all descriptions of Tallow is dearer, and, in consequence of the continuance of dry weather, importers are asking higher prices for autumn delivery. Town Tallow is virtually dearer, although the quotation is the same as last week. By advices from St. Petersburgh there is nothing to justify the expectation of lower prices through the season. The demand is very good for the time of year. WOOL he . The public sale s of Wool heId ILRICET since our last have been tolerably well attended by buyers, who have purchased nearly the whole of the colonial parcels brought forward, at prices about equal to those obtained in the previous auction. For the few packages of foreign brought forward, the biddings have been spiritless, and the rates have not been supported. The stocks of English Wools, being large, the demand is heavy, and the quotations have a downward tendency. SUMMARY OF NO ~~~:'J Vutitt c;,;/,41,1f):1.
