THE EGYPTIAN HALL :MANSION HOUSE. The splendid banquetting room at the Mansion House known as the Egyptian Hall, in which the Lord Mayor entertained the dignitaries of the Church yesterday, and which has always been admired for its extent and bold ness of design as one of the finest apartments to be found in any public building in the metropolis, has re cently been subjected to a process of repairing and de corating which now renders it also one of the most elegant and beautiful. . The series of Corinthian columns ranging along each side of the hall, surmounted by the rich entablature ap propriate to that order of architecture, and by which the lofty concave roof is supported, gave to the apartment an air of nobility which never failed to excite those ideas of stateliness and grandeur which are usually associated with all that pertains to the office of Lord Mayor of London. The injurious effects of time, however, had greatly obscured and pearly obliterated many of these less prominent features, which, though compara tively insignificant if regarded in detail, when skill lully blended; together,,become so es sential_ in enhwocing Ate general (effect of a:building, or any otherobjeet of art..- The works recently executed were, therefore, Fin cipallydirected to the restoration.of existing detaik..to tfieir d ue - degree Of prominence ; the addition of some further ornaments and enrichments where most needed ; and the harmonising otall the component parts, so as to ensure an unity mid - consistency of appearance through out the whole ; and the way in which these intentions have been carried out reflect the highest credit upon the taste and skill of all parties who have been concerned in the management and execution of the repairs. The whole of the walls . and ceilings have been painted several times, and finished off in a delicate fawn colour, the chasteness of which is considerably heightened by being what is technically called flatted, which, by pre • venting the disagreeble appearance of gloss, adds much to the purity of style and colour. Various ornaments and decorations attached to the walls and ceilings, as also the statues occupying the series of niches on that side of the hall which is opposite the grand entrance, are picked out in a suitable tint to afford a relief to the general colour. The most striking alteration that has been made is in the appearance of the double row of lofty columns and pilasters, which extend from one end of the hall to the other, and the entablature and carved roof, by which they are surmounted. The length of the hall being about 90 feet, and its breadthL6o, there are ten of these columns and pilasters on-each side, standing out ,about, ten feet from the walls. The-10Tel° ef : Oie elaafts are being re-ent, and the arrises of the fillets and S iTee p - O7 ibelltites made perfectly true, thus removing many blemishes and irre gularities which before disfigured them. Instead of their former colour, which was in imitation of Sienna marble, they are new painted French white, a change which con tributes wonderfully to the improvement of the general. aspect of the room, while the effect of this delicate colour is considerably heightened by the whole of the fillets of the shafts, together with the fillets and smaller toruses in the bases, and the capitals of the columns and pilasters, being gilt in pure gold. The several enriched parts in the entablature, and particularly the cor nice, with the enrichments on the modillions, and rosettes in the sotlites, have also, for the first time, been. heightened up in gold, and now present a peculiarly ele gant appearance. - The Concave ceiling, which extends the whole length of the hall, and across from one row of columns to the other, is divided into forty-five square compartments, or coffers, each containing a large rosette. In each of these coffers there has been added an enriched moulding of egg and tongue, corresponding in form and pattern with similar ornaments in the entablature; besides which, there has been placed along the centre of the margins dividing the coffers held wreaths, composed of the laurel leaf, with bands at their intersections. These additional orna ments have entirely relieved the ceiling of the plainness which formerly characterised it, and, together with the rosettes, being all heightened in gold, make it har mon i se delightfully with the colouring and enrichments of the entablature and columns. It is almost needless to mention that, in these exten sive improvements and decorations, all the incidental appurtenances of the Hall have received a proportionate degree of attention—such, for instance, as the frames and mouldingti of the large looking-glasses at each end, which have been newly gilt, and the splendid cut-glass lustres and chandeliers, which have been also cleaned and rehung, and their brackets and supports regilt. The effect of the whole has been to render this truly noble apartment more than ever deserving of the com mendation bestowed on it by that eminent j udge in matters of taste, George the Fourth, who, when Prince Regent, repeatedly remarked that the Egyptian Hall at the Man sion House was one of the finest roems he had ever seen. •The whole of the works have been executed according to designs and specifications prepared by Mr. Bunning, the present architect and surveyor of the Corporation. The Lord Mayor and the members of the Committee of General Purposes, particularly Deputy Thomas, their Chairman, have paid much attention throughout the pro gress of the works, and have reason to congratulate themselves upon the satisfactory result. The contractor was Mr. Joseph Taylor, who, during the last Mayoralty, fulfilled a contract admirably for extensive repairs and decorations in other parts of the Mansion-house. The amount of the late contract was nearly 1,40031. ; and, a circumstance rac d the 1 notwithstanding the extent and beauty of the works, the amount has not been exceeded by the addition of the and executed them. which g men t speaks of gentlemanm ueh slightest for sum t u hw m e h f po o r r do efessi "extras," gsinoenda a c c uy and judgment SIGHT AND HEARING.--39, Albemarle. street, Picca dilly.

THE WILL FORGERS.-4t is understood that in the course of the ensuing w eek Barber and Flet cher will he remove d from the Millbank prison on board ship, for the purpose of being conveyed to New South Wales, w hile it is expected that Saunders will be re moved to , t h e New Model Prison, Pentonville. It will thus be seen that with regard to Barber the hopes, if any wer e entertained, of his having his sentence com muted, or of his being pardoned, are at an end. ,Mrs. Dorey and her sister, Mrs, Saunders, who, it will be re • of me co nv i cts collected, were senten ce d to two years ' imprisonment, were re moved the eti al on theemoT previous Newgate to . the thede- sentence on the females was merely that they be im prisoned for the period of two years, they were taken to Giltspur-street Compter and for the fi rst day or two they w ere set to p i c k o akum, which coming to the knowledge of the proper authorities, an order was sent down to take the two prisoners from this species ~of labour, and which; according to the regulations of the Compter, is deemed hard labour. They are now employed at needlework. Since their conviction and sentence their health has greatly improved. Previous to the removal of Mrs. Saunders she was allowed to see her husband for the purpose of taking farewell, but the parting was not of that affecting description which too often occurs within the walls of a prison. They merely bade each other good by, with a hope that they might see each other again. While Barber and Fletcher were in Newgate they never conversed together, the former invariably doing all he could to avoid his companion in guilt ; at the same time, whenever he had any occasion to speak to thOie connected with the gaol, he at every op portunity declared his innocence. A short time previous to. being removed- from Newgate, Barber requested. Fletcher to sign ardeclaration to the effect that he was in nocent, and that his - pnly connection with the will forgeriett was his being employed as the attorney. Fletcher re plied that he was very sorry for the situation in which Barb©r was placed, but be knew very well that he (Fletcher) could not sign such a declaration. On being informed that an order had arrived for his removal, Barber then for the first time appeared to sink. His spirits left him, and he evidently became convinced that all chance of escape was over. When the convicts were brought into the yard to be removed, neither ho nor Fletcher took the- slightest notice of each other.

This Office Is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most other offices. The first Life Assurance Society eommenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, it of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease ; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the fallowing remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent, of the deaths from all causes." On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since Tf thus appesxs that a majority of the population is included in this eliss; the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to lee carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, causes, to is foundadmito th fa at comparison, hwileth e ion per annum fl a u n c d tua b t yreducin gthe matter al ttert i o figures in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one.fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c.. the fluctuation was only 7i per cent., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per' cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6•4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to he nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 23 per cent, nearly ; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and Si the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in. fluenced by external circumstances. 'thence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be lees.

To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 death: per annum; that is to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one. fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded.

At DAVIES'S old-established warehouse, 63, St. Martin's-lane, opposite New Slaughter's Coffee-house. the Pert-office to obtain a pilot, in order to run the ship into the inner harbour, where she would be better sheltered ; but none could be had, they having been engaged for the other vessels. As the day advanced the wind increased greatly, with a heavy rolling sea, and by nine o'clock there was a violent storm. The Amity had both anchors out, with 140 fathoms of cable, in order th a t s h e m i g ht r id e easily, but the violence of the sea worked her about in a most fearful man ner ; and frequently, during the night, the waves rushed along the decks, sweeping everything before them. At 11 o'clock a large ship, which lay at the Amity's stern, commenced firing minute guns and discharging rockets and blue lights for assistance. One of the vessels that left Liverpool at the same time as the Amity did, unable to bear up against the storm, broke away from her anchors, and was hurled among the rocks. Two other ships shared the same fate. They were driven from their anchors and were carried with terrific force on shore; and unfortunately, these were also laden with emigrants, who had been shipped at Calcutta for the Islands. The Amity weathered the gale until 8 o'clock on the morn ing of the 4th, when her cables were snapped by the force of a tremendous sea, and in an instant, in sight of thousands of persons, crowded along the coast, she was thrown upon the reef of rocks near the inner harbour, where every one on board would inevitably have perished but for the judgment and courageous conduct of the commander, Captain Wright son. Having advised the emigrants to remain quiet, and to act under his direetions, he ordered the masts to be cut away, which being immediately executed by the crew; had the effect of lightening the vessel, and the succeeding waves threw her on to a part of the rocks where the breakers were the least . violent. The storm still continuing, it was found impossible for some time to form a communication with the shore, but on the first , favourable opportunity presenting itself, Captain Wrightson made- an attempt to save, the lives of .the passengers and, his men. . After some diffi.eulty he managed to send a log line ashore, arid;' by 1101 aid of a, few eigelar 'buoys, -which he had 'brought froth Liverpool, he succeeded in having every man, woman, and child dragged from off - the wreck safe to shore, though in a deplorable state of exhaustion. The Hugh Mat thie, Capt. Sparkes, was wrecked near the same spot. She was lying at anchor near the Bellßuoy, in the outer harbour, with a pilot on board, when the fury of the storm forced her from her cables. An attempt was made to run her into the inner harbour ; but the running tide carried the ship with great force on the rocks. Guns were fired for as sistance, but it was beyond all human power for the inhabi tants to render any help at the time. In this dreadful state, with the ship full of water, part of her bottom being beaten in by the rocks, did they remain for 10 hours ; but, at last, every soul (excepting one man) was saved. The unfortunate person lost was one of the emigrants, who, it ap pears jumped overboard in order to attempt to swim ashore,_ but was carried away by the sea and was not afterwards seen alive. She had brought over a large number of emigrants from Calcutta, and had also a rich cargo of East India pro duce on board. The last accounts state that the vessel has become a total wreck, and her fragments have been sold by auction. Her loss, with the cargo, is computed at 20,0001., a portion of which will fall on several insurance companies in the City. The loss of the other vessels—the Marion, Capt. Rose ; the Malay brig, Capt. Shaw, and the Bordeaux, which had all emigrants on board, took place under precisely simi lar circumstances._ The wee Aeverally,,drlven,from ,their moorings, and were cast on the rocks adjoining the 'harbours. Providentially in these instances not a single life was sacri ficed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. Tux WILL FORGERIES.—Mr. Cope, the Governor of her Majesty's gaol of Newgate, waited upon the Lord Mayor, in consequence of his Lordship's desire to com municate with him on the subject of a report which had become very prevalent, to the effect that all the prisoners who had been tried with Barber repeatedly declared that delinquent to be innocent of the knowledge that, in the proceedings adopted for getting the sums of money, sworn to as bequeathed to the different legatees, out of the hands of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, there had been any unfair play whatever resorted to. Alderman Humph ery was sitting with the Lord Mayor when Mr. Cope attended. The LORD MAYOR said it appeared from what had been represented in some publications, that there were several ridiculous statements afloat relative to the charges upon which Barber had been convicted, reflect ing upon the Magistrate who presided at the examina tions, as well as upon those who conducted the prosecu tions against the persons accused of the offences in which that individual had participated. It had been said that he (the Lord Mayor) had performed the characters of judge and jury on the occasion he alluded to, and the most positive assertions had been made that Mr. Barber was declared, by those with whom he was said to have conspired, to be wholly innocent of the knowledge, or even of the suspicion, that the wills in which he had been professionally engaged by Fletcher and others, were not bond fide instruments. There were, it would seem, ' many who were influenced by tte reiferate4 assurances of Barber, that he merely acted in hietsriife'ssiimal capa- city, and by the apparently Candid appeals which he made to the public, by referring to the whole tenor of his previous conduct, to suppose that he was a martyr. That impression might have been easily communicated to those who did not take the trouble to read the evidence ; but nothing could be more fallacious in the minds of all who had observed the proceedings ; and he would not have taken the slightest notice of the matter, if it were not that people who were endeavouring to excite sympathy in favour of Barber continued to assert that those who were charged as his accomplices most peremptorily declared him to be an innocent man. His Lordship wished to know from Mr. Cope, whether he had heard anything relating to the subject before the prisoner had been re moved from Newgate. Alderman HUMPHERY—I think it necessary to inform your Lordship that I was in the gaol of Newgate yes terday, and, having heard that such reports as you have alluded to were in circulation, I made very particular inquiries upon the subject upon the spot. I have learned that the principal persons concerned with Barber had told a a very different story to Mr. Cope and the Chaplain of the prison. Mr. COPE said- .After the conviction of the prisoners, Barber expressed great dissatisfaction at the verdict, and expressed an anxious desire to see and communicate with the Sheriffs. I asked him for what purpose, being `Willing to do anything consistently with my duty. He Ireplied, I am desirous that the Sheriffs should be pre sent while I read a declaration which I have drawn up, and which I want Fletcher, Saunders, Mrs. Saunders, and Mrs. Dorey to sign. It is to the effect that they all declare my innocence as regards these transactions, and that they believe I acted merely as a professional man. I said that I did not believe the Sheriffs would consent to be present under such circumstances, and that it was also my opinion that the Magistrates would object to agree to such a proposition ; and I sug gested to him the propriety of ascertaining whether the other prisoners would be willing to sign such a declaration. Mr. Barber agreed to this suggestion, and Mr. Davies, the ordinary, and I accordingly asked each of the parties the necessary question. Mrs. Dorey, when I asked her whether she was willing to sign declaration, that she believed Mr. Barber to have no guilty knowledge of the transactions of which he was convicted, replied " Certainly not, for Mr. Barber knew all about it. I cannot sign any thing of the kind." I also put the same question to Fetcher, and he also de clined to sign any declaration of the kind, as Barber was well acquainted with every thing about this trans action. To the chaplain, who communicated with them, they spoke in similar terms, assuring him that they could not make any such declaration, as Mr. Barber knew every thing about the matter. When I went to Saunders and his wife, and asked them whether they would have any objection to sign an instrument of the kind, they replied that they had not. Mrs. Saunders stated, that she had been only concerned in one case, and that she had only seen Mr. Barber, and that in his professional capacity, for a moment in the business ; and of course she could have no objection. Alderman HUMPHERY—Had the prisoners any op portunity of communicating with each other ? Mr. Cope—Not the least opportunity of communicating with each other in the prison. They might have spoken to gether in the dock of the Court,. There was no possi bility of preventing that. Alderman HUMPHERY—Mr. Cope has exactly stated what I heard yesterday. I will answer for the correct ness of his report. The LORD MAYOR—It is, in my opinion, necessary to remove wholly the impression that Barber, who was shrewd and clever enough to take in all the rest, was himself the dupe of any of them. I should not, how ever, consider myself bound to take notice of the falla cious reports if I had not heard that they were most per tinaciously made, and bad obtained credence to a certain extent, for it has been added that injustice has been done to Barber by the alleged refusal to allow the de claration of his innocence to be made by his fellow prisoners. Alderman HUMPHERY said, that what had been just stated would most satisfactorily set the matter at rest. Ile had felt very great astonishment at the prevalence of the report that Barber was innocent, but he confessed that that astonishment was much increased upon hear ing a brother Alderman positively declare that he was convinced of the innocence of Barber. The LORD MAYOR—Upon what did ho found that e e m f A ldermanen ts w h ic h Hm HUMPHERY--I Barber PnEnY —I ma d e believe, to upon him inpris t n h . e mere statements The LORD MAYOR—It is not to be wondered at, then, that a report of such a nature should find people ready to support it, when a City Magistrate actually gives -. currency. FURNITURE of the LATE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. On Wednesday, at one o'clock, a sale by auction of the property of the late Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson Lowe, including some portion of the furniture which was in the possession of the Emperor Na poleon during his captivity at St. Helena, took place at the auction-rooms of Mr. Phillips, New Bond-street, by order of the executors of Sir Hudson Lowe, on which occasion there were several Frenchmen present, who appeared to exhibit a lively interest when the various articles, once the property of the late Em peror, were put up. These consisted of about twenty lots, and which in general possessed little from their intrinsic worth to recommend them. Among them, were the following :—A large mahogany-frame in chair, banded with ebony, on castors, from the! Emperor's study, 151. 15s. ; a small circular mahogany pillar and claw table, on which Napoleon burned pas tiles, 6/. 6s. ; a six foot pedestal library table, formed of mahogany and yew tree, at which table he almost always wrote, eighteen guineas ; an ebonyed arm chair, with cane seat and back formed of common materials; (There was a hole in the cane seat which had been' caused by being constantly used, and it was stated by some brokers in the room not to be worth Is. 6d.) The auctioneer stated that from the chair being light, it was carried about by the Emperor, when he took his walks in the grounds at Longwood, It was bought for 6L An old inkstand, with two cut glass inks, 51. ; a glass cruet and stopper, with the crown and " N." engraved thereon, 1L 16s. ; a swing dressing glass in pillar supports, 61. 15s. ; a mahogany chest of five drawers (of common manufacture), six guineas ; the Order of the Dutch Lion in gold and white enamel, as instituted by Louis Napoleon, worn by Joseph Buonaparte, and taken from the baggage of the latter at the battle of Vittoria, by a corporal of the 14th Dragoons, 14/. ; a very fine portrait of the, Emperor, taken from life at St. Helena, eleven guineas ; the Order of the Dragon, with the collar set in precious stones. 10L ; a valuable gold time keeper by Brequet, with gold chain and key, made to go fifty four hours—(twelve of these were made by order of the Emperor, to be distributed by his own hands to the Marshals of France, on which account they were called the Marshal watches), 23 guineas. The article which excited the greatest interest during the sale, was a picture, containing a medallion, inelosing a lock of hair of the late Emperor Napoleon, and one of the King of Rome, suspended from three ribbons, worn, by the Emperor, to the order of the Legion of Honour the Iron Crown and Re-union, surmounted by an Eagle. At the bottom of the medallion is the following certifi cate by Marchand, the Emperor's valet and executor:— " Le 20 Mars, J'ai donn6 d'amitie I M.

At the back of the picture, which is sealed, is the fol- CLERKEN WELL. William Wetherall, a poulterer, in Newgate-market, was charged with the following assault upon Anne Morgan, the wife of a mechanic, living in Princes-street, Soho. The complainant, who seemed to be in a very weakly condition, deposed that, at ten o'clock on the previous night, she was returning home, with her infant in her arms. At the corner Russell-square she stopped a moment, when the prisoner, who was talking to a female on the pavement, knocked her down, and kicked her. A police-constable came up. She did not wish to prosecute. Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, said an attempt had been made to buy off the complainant, who was therefore reluctant to give her evidence. She had been severely injured. Police-constable 90 E deposed, that hearing female cries, he ran to the corner of Russell-square, where a crowd of five or six persons had assembled. The woman was standing by the failings, and the prisoner was stand ing before her in a retracing attitude. Sergeant Dodd stated that the woman was Conveyed to a surgeon's house in Marchmont-street, who recom mended her to be taken at once to the hospital. A stretcher was sent for to the station-house in order to convey her to the hospital. The stretcher and two policemen were sent to the surgeon's, but the woman refused to leave her little child, and she was conveyed home in a cabriolet. lowing certificate of I.

The first offer for the picture was fifty guineas ; a spirited competition ensued, at five guineas each bidding, when it was disposed of for ninety-five guineas. The various lots in the catalogue produced about 6801. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Did you use any bad language towards this man ? Complainant—l never said a word to him, your Worship. Sergeant Dodd said that when the prisoner came to the station-house he stated that the complainant had used a filthy expression. (The sergeant then wrote the word down on a slip of paper, and handed it to the bench.) The prisoner called as a witness Caroline Strickland, the person to whom he had been talking. She deposed that she was a servant out of place, and had been talk ing to the prisoner, when the woman came up and used a bad expression. • At the request of the Magistrate she wrote the word'on a slip of paper, and handed it to him. Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that the expression which the prisoner said she had used, and that which the wit ness said she used, were as different as black and white. He did not believe the woman used any indecent ex pression. He fined the prisoner 11. 10s., GE a fortnight's imprisonment.—The fine was paid at once. John Barnes was charged with robbing his father, and a lodging-house-keeper with whom he resided, was com mitted for trial. The prisoner surrendered himself to the officer at the Featherstone-street police-station, and acknowledged the commission of the robberies, to which he said dig - - tress had driven him. He said he was anxious to be sent to prison, having been from time to time an inmate of different workhouses, and that he had beeu :recent ly starving in the streets. DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS. By the late arrivals from the Mauritius, the most painful intelligence has been received relative to a dreadful gale of wind that visited tha t island in the month of January last, during which, we r e g ret to say, an Indiaman named the Hugh Matthie, 538 tons burden, and two emigrant ships and two other vessels, were completely wrecked. Among the latter was the ship Amity, belongng to Liverpool, a very fine vessel, 600 tons burden, with 180 emigrants on board, besides the crew. The ship, which was quite a new one, sailed from Liverpool in the early part of June last, for Bombay, and made a splendid passage. From Bombay she proceeded to the Mauritius, with emigrants for the island, which place she reached in safetyin the latter part of December, and remained in the harbour, m company with seven other vessels, until the hurricane broke forth.

To LADIES. —The high and universal celebrity ' which. Rowland's - lialydor continues to maintain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the skin, is, during the period of Spring : most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discoloura tion • and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency to the Skin and Complexion. Its universally great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and, by their repellant action endangering health. It is, there fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Row land's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.—All others are fraudu lent Counterfeits. „ ..

Gilding, Lacquer, and Bronze, are instantly restored, to their original lustre, fly spots removed, and covering from the fly rendered unnecessary. RECENT TESTIMONIALS, " I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents. I hope to recommend them to, some of my friends, as they answer so well, especially the Gold Detavent."—From the Right Hon. C. D'Eyn - court, M.P. . "We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole of the fly spots, the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and hril- Raney of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old frames—from their colour we were almost In doubt whether they were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years ; these frames have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844. "We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the result for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble. A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture acid lboking glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review, April 5, 1844.
