T I t.AST DA VS of the EMPEROR AI,EXANDEIZ. By Rorpair LEE, M.D., F U.S. Ulervfng extracts trail. a tru - .:noir of Alexaraler, Emperor of Russia., just publisn• d by Dr. fa e, will be real wt,ll deeza interest. C. ening from such a source they are entitled to implicit credit, and meet pat an end to all douts es to ;he cause of the ;ate Emperor's death. D. Lee was placed in such a situation as to be able to ascertain, not only from the reports of the physicians on the spot, but from his own personal obwrvations, all the real cireumqauces accompanying an event which caused e great sensation thrt•ughout the political world. Addi tional weight aloe is given to his testimony by the rank which he holds in his profession. Dr. Lev is well known to the public for his medical skill ; the important dis coveries which he has made in that branch of anatomical suience to wh;eh he has long devoted great research and unwearied application, have given him an European character, not likely ta be forfeited by any deviation from the truth ; and the interest excited by the death of that benevolent, wise, arid patriotic Prince, has long cease 1 to exist, so that it would hardly be possible to furnish evideace of a more satisfactory character. Alexander, it is admitted, had become weary of political lif • ; he had been harassed by apprehensions of con spiracies of various kinds, and doubtful in their charac ter, and resolved to end his days in a remote region of Ys empire as a simple individual, leaving the cares of royalty to his brother, the present Emperor; for Constan frren some mysterious cause, had been set aside. o.le of the outbreaks which Alexander feared took place at St. Petersburgh, soon after, his decease, and was speedily put down by the energy and presence of mind of Nicholas, but, from all authentic accounts, no plots were formed against his life, and his death is to be attributed entirely ta 'h • fever so prevalent in the Crimea, and to l.is obstinacy in refusing to submit to those remedies which, according to Dr. Lee's account, could hardly have failed of success. The picture of this royal pro gress is a melancholy one. At several of the places where the Emperor stopped, there was scarcely any ac commedation suited even to a common traveller, and oc ca,ionally he was left with hardly any attendant but his valet. These circumstances give rise to suspicions, but the leas accompanying his death are so manifest, and the authorities on which they rest are so authentic, that no stretch of rational credulity could attribute his death to any but natural causes. On the xst mo, tem examina tion of his body, not the slightest symptoms of poson were visible, but all the symptoms of the fatal ague which had carried off so many of his subjects. With these remarks we give the plain statement drawn up by Dr. L' e, which is prefaced by some interesting details or the fever abich prevailed in that part of the country, aed of the occurrences which took place some day's pre vi us to the fatal attack of illness : r 1 y "Durin2; the month of September, 1825, the whole populat;on of the Crimea between the mountains and the sea, all the in hahitat.ts of " this terrestrial paradise," were in a very sickly eauiliTieti, and in the villages i;OPg the coast between Your- Simitis. I saw and trcate.l more than a hundred cases of i•itermittent remi.tent fever. Many who had been sati.-ring for months had enlargement of the liver and spleen with . 1-twit:ice nod dropsy. The weather, during the whole time I ,-ein tined on the south coast of the Crimea, was delight ful, nmil none of those swlden and violent changes were ob served which so frequently occur in all the countries situated 5 , 4 she nooti , r4l snore of the Black Si a. There could be doubt - that the fever which then prevailed on the coast tan.i iit in.erior of the Crimea, was produced by noxious c;tha'a7ions row the ear.h. - ;;eeer we i jog all the most interesting places in the Crimea, I eniteerked on b sard Admiral Greig's yacht at Sevastopole, en the 231 September, and returned to Odessa, with Count F. P...F ., !, -, A, nn the I.t of October. C :tint Wororixow at the eame ti no ,rt out for Taganrog, to meet the Emperor Alexan der, who hid arrived there with the Empress a short time be fare, with the interition of spending the winter on the shores oi . the s•a of Azeff. Before reaching 01esse, Count Patten seas !wiz el wall severe shivering, headache, and the other cha- eae s e eistic symptoms of bilious remittent fever. The attack wa s e,r mere violent awcl dangerous than in any of the eases which Lad before fallen under my observation, and he narrowly e „. e ,,,,e m ile i' life. ale. Rose, an English gentleman, who had been to tee Crimea with us, was also attacked after our re turn es 0 leesa, and died, frem effusion into the brain. The Latta!) of a considerable number of those who had been on the south coast of the Crimea at the same time, suffered severely for seine months after, and in a fee fever appeared in a severe firm early the following siring. There was evidence to prose that 31M0-t all of us had suffered from malaria. • On the 14th October, 1525 (0.5.), at Odessa, I received a letser emu Count Wororizow at Taganrog, informing me of the Entaeror's determination to visit the Crimea, and request ing .ine to meet him at Bereslaw: on the Dnieper. I ac cordingly left Odessa in the afternoon of the same (ley, with General Bashmelsoff, Messrs. Marini and Artemieff. We arrived at Nieolaef in the afternoon of the 15th, and re a,ei,„e a f ew hours with Admiral Great, who had just re turnee from lagaoroe. It was a clear, beaettlul night, the road ea; excellent , a nd we reacheil Bereslaw, the following inerning , at seven o'clock, where we remained during the day. Tine is a ! , rte town on the west bank of the Dnieper, which dose not differ in appearance from the other towns in the south of Russia. There were many shops or baetare in it, full of every kind of merchandise. Great cumbers of waggons laden with sell frees ;lie Crimea, were then passing through, and later , arelies of troops marching to join the army on the Tuikish fron: a r;. The country around was extremely fertile, but the 3,:,;:, Lae committed great hay ic the year before, the peasants and landed proprietors being in a state of the greatest distress. We lea Bsreslaw in the afternoon, for the isthmus of Perecop, aril atter passing over an extensive plain of sand like the I.laniles, nes!. the Pyrenees, we entered the Crimea, and spent she night at the German colony of Nahitchvan. Here all was order, cleanliness. and comfort, the poeulation rapidly increas ing, are! additional grants of land required. On quitting these intelligent, happy people, the following morning, we were not long in coming among the Nogay Tartars, were all was igno rance, poverty, and wrete,tiedneas. Light ant darkness, civi ilZl6oflaed barbarism, were here almost in contact. We re enelesil two days and a night at Sympheropole, where I had the 39 .0.4 m-ion of giving professional aid to the daughter of Count II ssuesichin, a male whiten will be preserved through all ages in tee aneals of Russia. " On the 2inh we left Sympheropole early in the morning, and pissing rapidly over the steppe extendine, between the town aril the mountains, crossed these in a caleche, by the new road which had lately been made to connect the shore of Crimea with the interior. Many of the soldiers employed in completing this arduous work appeared sickly and depressed. liewarris of a buttered out of five hundred had suffered from fever doring the autumn, hut in none had the disease assumed wj dangerous form. No less than a thousand soldiers had been employed in this imp srtant work the year before, and compa ratively teas of them, it was reported, had suffered from the (fleets of fever. The lace of the country had changed fi11.,1 our wens.- visit to the Crewel. The woods along the .Saleir and on ties Chat er-Dagh were stripped of their leaves, thoa s et on entering the valiey of Aluehta tne trees were still gres..l• t. Front the Iseha.us of Perecop to Yoursouff, where we a r r ived tie the 20th, preparations were being made for the ree eptine of Cie Emperor ; the roads were being repaiied, and all she ce•tages arid houses in the line were being cleaned and whitewashed. The principal Tartar of the village of Your s':utl had been suffering severely from intermittent fever for s-v. ran vests, but the fits were speedily arrested by the calo stiel and sulehate of quinine which I administered to him. 'leis latter iesaedy, which hail never before been employed in the fevers if ;he Crinies, often stoeted their course so quickly. tie :A stetie of the ignorant Tartars were disposed to attribute 'sew striking effete to sueernatural influence. The aillowitte morning we set our for Aloupka. It was like a susr e sier's day in Englenta the thermometer in the, shade big 17 deg. it Reaumur (70 deg. Fahrenheit). The tops of the mountains w ire, however, covered with dense clouds. The road along the sea-shore to °charade from Yoursouff never a p e eared to me 3 ,, beautiful before, and I could not pass Nikita ;m id elasendra without halting to admire the glorious scenery. The woods hats lost a part of their verdure, but there were still mug; of the trees a, green as during the autumn. The wild sine, telesth climbs to the tops of the highest trees, and the leaves pi t e hash were then of a deep red colour, formed a striking fea ture lvi the scene. The walnut and fie trees were still frets and twee „et AI tupk a in the evening, we walked around the gsrdees. the most rem intic in the Crimea, where preparations were s e e ea wade fir planting forty lemon trees in the open air, welsh hal neen imported the previous year from Italy, and noes ef them, sviiich hid been exposed in the middle of the g,ar• den to Cod intense fleet the preceding winter, was in a flaurish- Eg state. • We returned to the Tartar house which was pre p rot tit- the Emperor. Boards had been placed around the isnet of it, and whitewashed. The walls of the two chambers rer las aleatety's accommodation, had been surrounded with a store , white linen cloth, and a very neat bed prepared. There t, ere taco chairs-, a tank, and a coech, and newly glazed win -4 ti•A4 had been pat in. Li that climate one could not have te l l -,ire:!-,ire:!a better habitation for a ei g ht, thou g h it was a common T ea artar eirtage. ,‘ We returned to Yoursouff on the 23J, and on the following day one cif the Emperor's couriers arrived, and arranged all the apartments in the house for his Majesty and attendants. o—a the seith the Emperor arrived at Sympheropole. He went to the service ie the cathedral the following morning, and he a rived at Yottr4nuff about four lockso'k in the after noo n,noo few ac e ,mpanie.l by General Diebitch, Sir mes y a atteedente Went he dismounted tom his horse in front of the hoos,, at Yoursouff, Count VVerolizove, his aides-de-camp, secretaries, and myself, were standing, in a line to receive him. '• Though apparently active, and in the prime and vigour of life, the Emperor stooped a little in walking, and seemed rattier inclined to eorpuleney. He was dressed in a blue military ennout, with epaulettes, and had nothing to dis tinguish him from any general officer. He shook Count Woronsieg by the hand, and afterwards warmly saluted him, first on one cheek, and then en the other. He after wards shook hands with us all, and then inquired of me particularly about the health of the Count's children at I:tala Cerkie, whom I had seen not long before. sou Ile then inquired if I had visited th e during the autumn, and if so, hoer coast of the Crimea v p n le d ased with it. Looking up to the mountains above YonrstZtl s and then to the calm sea, upon which the sun was shining , claimed, ' Was there ever such likaiinifit s is li e i r y tY, ex replied that the euait of Italy between Genoa and en laliC ! p I anited the only scenery I had ever witnessed that could e re eranpai al to it, a part of Italy which his 'Majesty stated he had t Stever visited. e I set out from Yoursouff on the morning of the 26th of O c t s ee-, before the Emperor, and rode along the coast to Alotipke. It was a sultry day, and the scenery was rendered still :nose interesting to me than on all former occasions in con. eeterervie of tile 'Tartars having come from all parts of the Crewe, tee,. the Emperor, un his way from Yoursouff to A tetipaie le here ae arrived about four o'clock, I was informed that a Tartsr fern de complained to his fsl jesty, at Orianda. of her having been beaten and ill tteat,d by the superintetelent ; other) the offeeder wag ordered to appear before his Majesty, li e threw himself upon his knees and implored forgive• re q., Alerinder ordered him to be aricated, arid said, 4,031 VirtlP.,...Syt,!ritiy, that it was an eternal disgrace to d aaeaslaealeVlAaaak especially one in her situation, o itl'afj . ainria, • *itei- e ata)eae i i i t e atel E y .n tle e t r e o r r rnis w le a d s t greatly e h pleasedas is flit Masa : fee 4 .

" There were oysters zt dinner, an:: ozm was ail belting to the shelict one pre-etited to :: .s v. This was shown io Sir James Wylie, whe sat.: C9rnrinn atti'• harmless, and he reminded the Erepi rur t f urefisesto;:cc which had occurred to them at the Concr. , : , -f Verona. A person at Venice had then sent to the Emperor to intreat that he would abstain from the use of oysters, as there was a poi sonous marine worm or insect in them. This led the conver satinn to the insects of the Crimea and Ukraine, of which I had made a considerable collection, and the Emperor inquired of me if there were scorpions, scolopendras, and tarantulas in the Crimea. I said scorpions of large size were not uncommon and that at Musghor, during our former visit, we found a scor pion of great strength in the apartment where we passed the night, but that it was harmless. Scolopendras of great length I had often seen around Odessa, but not in the Crimea, nor tarantulas, a'though, as I had been informed, they were not very rare. I heard of no instance during the autumn in which they had inflicted any injury by their bites or stings. He said, he supposed they were the same as in Italy, and then alluded to the dance for the cure of the bite of the tarantula ; Sir James Wylie reminded his Majesty of the scorpion which was found in his bed at Verona, and of the prescription which he had then written for the cure of the bites of the ca:bonari. " Again the Emporor expressed how much he was pleased with Orlando, and stated that it it was his determination to have a prda , .te built there as expeditiously as possible. To my amazement ha then said, after a pause, When I give in my demission, I will return and fix myself at Orlando, and wear the costume of she Tourida.' Not a word was uttered by any one when this extraordinary resolution was announeeil, and I thought that I must have misunde:stood the Emperor, but this could not be, for in ashort time,when CountWoronzow proposed that the large open fiat space of ground to the westward of Otianda should be converted into pleasure-grounds for his Majesty, he replied, ' I wish this to be purchased for General Diebitch, as it is right that tke chief of my kat-major and I should be neighbours.' " His Majesty made a frugal repast, and drank little wine. When champagne was presented, Count Woronzow said,' Sire, may we be permitted to drink to the health of her Majesty the Empress ?' He replied, Most certainly; and all immediately rising, did honour to the toast. On retiring, his Majesty returned thanks to Count Woronzow for the excellent enter tainment he had provided, and, addressing himself to us all, said, with kindness and condescension, Your presence on this occasion has afforded me the greatest satisfaction.' He then walked out, and mounted the steps to the fiat roof of the house, around which a number of Tartars were collected. He looked at the groups through his eve-glass, and said, ' What hand some oriental countenances I what a fine race of men ! One of the snout striking peculiarities of the Crimea would be lust if the Tarters were exp.- lied ; I hope they will by encouraged to continue here.' An Effendi ssatit introduced to his Maje-ty to present a petition, which he did by bending down and raising his hands to his head, without removing his turban from it. " The Emperor retired to rest early in the evening. In the middle of the night a courier arrived, when he arose and trans acted business. General Diebitch, who slept in a house close to that in which I was, was twice summoned in the night to wait upon His Majesty. I was afterwards informed that the dispatches brought by the courier were of the highest public importance ; in fact, that they fully revealed to His Nltijesty the existence of a dangerous and extensive conspiracy, of which he had nut been previously aware. " On the morning of the 27th, after breakfast, the. Emperor sent a message to say that he desired me to accompany him round the lower garden. After some conversation respecting the illness of the Empress, and the proposal that I should visit ber ;Majesty protessionaily at Taganrog, he again called my attention to the magifieeuce of the scenery around us, and t x vressed the pleasure he had derived from this vast - to the Crimea, and the hope he tntertained that at no very re.: t,te perio I its shores should be full of rich vineyards, an . contain many flourishing villages and towns. I hinted, in the most delicate manner I could, that the frequent occurrence of vio lent fevers to those who vi. , ited the Crimea, and to its constant inhabitants, was the only circumstance whic'i appeared t me likely to prevent his Majesty's anticipations being completely realised. He expressed a strong wish that I shout remain in Russia, permanently attached to Count Woror z nv. the value of whore public services he appeared justly to ap,Teciate. " At mid-day the Ern i .eror and his attendants were on horse back, and. aPer shaking hands with and taking an affe,tionate leave of all, he set out for Seba-topole. In a few days I re turned with Count Woro:.zow to Odes-a, by . Per cop, reslaw, and Nicola. f, where we remained till the 22d Novetnt,er, 1823. " At milt o'clock, on Sunday morning, the 2ed November, Count Woronz iw expressed a wish to see me in his library. On going there, the Count stated that he had received ha, i news from Taganrog—that the Emperor was dangerously ill, and that I must set out with him, in two hours, to render my assistance with the other physicii . ns. It appeared from a letter of the 7th inst. that the Emperor had been attacked with symptoms of slight catarrh soon after leaving the Cr 'nee, and that at Oriekoff these had assumed the mended firm of re mittent fever—; hat it had incr. a..sed in sev. rite, and thet his Mejesty refused to take any medicine. Anther letter, of the 14th, stated that he was much wat se—indeed, in ,great danger —and that still he refuse.: to submit to any medical treatment. A third letter. dated Thursday the 19th, had also been re ceived, from which it appeared that tie malady had been d .ily growing worse, and that. almost all hope of his recovery was past. The Count was much 4filict,ci when he communicated this intelligence, and expressed his fear that we should find ail over before we reached Taganrog. We started from Odessa at midday, and when our carriage was going slowly over the deep sands by the sea-shore, the :cunt said that unpleasant occurrences seldom came alone—that a letter had arrived that morning from London, informing him of an accident that had endangered the life of hie father; also, that William Findley, who had been his father's coachman for up wards of thirty years, had been thrown from his be:, and killed on the spot. I knew William Findley well,' lie added, bursting into tears, ' and feel how muck my father must have suffered on the occasion.' We continued our journey to Nieolaef, where we arrived at midnight. The Count retired to rest for two hours ; but I did not, being anxious to learn from Admiral Greig what consequences would be likely to re sult, in the event of the Emperor's death, and the accession of his brother Constantine to the throne. We were, of course, unacquainted with the fact, that in 1822, the Grand Duke Constantine had voluntarily waived his title to the succession, and that the next in the line after him should take his place. Admiral Greig requested me to write to him immediately after ms arrival at Tag irtrog, which I did, and communicated all the information I could obtain respecting his Imperial Majesty's illness and death. " We reached Cherson at seven o'clock in the morning. There had been a hard frost during the night. T he tow n vras evidently in a state of decay, and many of the houses were roofless. Du ring the previous winter, the he age in the Crime a and country extending along the northern coast of he Black Sea, was ex. haunted before the spring, and the crops having been des toyed by the locusts arid a drought, the people had actually been corn. gelled, in some places, to employ the straw thatching of their cottages to feed their cattle. I had previously bee. info: met! that the commerce of the place was ruined ; that the rise of Odes-a bad, in fact, been the fall of Cherson. The Dnieper is here as he mid as the Danube above Vienna, or the Rhone near the Mediterranean. At a she rt distance from the gate of the town, we saw an obelisk, which had been erected to the me wore of John Howard, who died of fever, near Cherson, on the 20t1; of January, 1790, and was buried in the open a; epee, at a short distance from the town. It was his request that « sun dial should b • ereeted over his grave ; and Admiral Greig in formed me that this wish had recent.'y been comelieil with, and through the Admiral's exertions chiefly, as I learn from others "We arrived at Beresla m at two o'clock in the afternoon of the 131, and crossed the Dieeper on a raft, the totting bridge having been removed. In the morning of the 24th, we reached Oriekoff, which is on the high road between Taganrog arid Warsaw, where the Grand Duke Constantine then was. The postmaster of this place stated that no account had been re ceived of the Emperor's death ; but he must have wished to con. steal 'he tact, as at the next post stailon, we were at once in formed that the news of his decease had been received two day s before. " On Wednesday, the 25th, at seven in the morning, we ar rived at Marienpole, a small town on the Sea of Az inha bited by Greeks, who had emigrated from the Crimea forty tears before. We remained an hour at the residence of a mi litary officer of rank, who gave me a general account of the Emperor's illness. He informed me that bilious levers were very common along the whole northern coast of the Sea of A zoff. From Marienpole to Ta ganrog the country presented a most dreary aspect, and the post-houses and horses were truly wretched. We crossed a small river, and, entering Taganrog at eight o'clock in the evening, were immediately conducted by the governor of the town to the house of one of the most respect. able merchants. We harried, on arriving, that his Majesty died on the 19th of N svernber, and that he had been insensible and deprived of the power of swaeloweig two days before his decease. " On Thursday, the 26th o f November, I went to see his Imperial Majesty lying in state in the house where he had lived and died. '1 he coffin was planed upon a slighrly-elevated form, and covered icy a canopy. The room w s hung with black, and the coffin covered with a cloth of gold. There were numerous large war lights horning inthe apartment, and each person present held a slender lighted wax taper. A priest was standing at the head of the coffin reading the Evangelists, and I was told that this was carried on day anti night. On each side of the body a sentinel was placed with a drawn sword. In the ante-room there were a number of priests putting en their robes, arid preparing fur the service or mass, which was celebrated twice every day. There were no symptoms of melancholy in this crowded room, and some young military officers even displayed a degree of levity altogether unsuitable to the solemnity of the scene. The Empress, I was informed, remained constantly in an apartment, the door of which opened into that where the body of the Emperor was lying, ant where the service was performed. Guards were stationed around the house, at the door, as also on the stairs, and in the eate.room. On the evening of Friday, the 27th of November, I pro- I ceeded, at the request of Count Woronzow, to the residence of Sir James Wylie, for many years physician to the person of his Imperial Majesty, for the purpose of obtaining an accauet of the Emperor's illness, and the treatment which •would have been pursued, bad not his Majesty strenuously refused all medical assistance. Sir James read to me the wi ole of the reports of his Majesty's case, written down by him from day to day, and which contained the fullest and most satisfactory ex planation of all the attendant circumstances. These reports were also signed by the other physicians, who coincid , d in the views entertained by Sir James respecting the na , ure and pro posed treatment of the disease. As these reports were about to be forwarded to St. Petersburgh for the satisfac tion of the Government, I could not procure a perfect copy, but the following are the must important facts c intained, and were noted down by me in short-hand, as I heard them. Dr. Reinhold, surgeon to the Empress, who hid remained with the Emperor during the night of the 12th of November, came in when Sir James Wylie was thus occupied, and declared to me in the most unequivocal manner that he was entirely of the same opinion with the other physicians respecting the nature of the disease; and of the means t hat would have been ems rayed. " The weather suddenly changed on the day the Emperor left tAhleoump,k,aa,,,ttahiens26inthshoef a O f c t r ob n ( e R r. n. the A thick east m wi a n s o wind was c a l s tn e t ( ia ) l id, covered ar, ia shower of rain fell. 1 he preitious day had been intensely hat so the coast, and at the time the Emperor was riding from Yeur,outf to Alotwka. His Majesty wits accusttimed to travel in an open caMche, with alight military cloak, trusting solely to the vigour of his constitution against the sudden changes of , the atmosphere. After quitting Aloupka, he went to that part of the road where the ascent of the Merdveen cpororpezi by this and hesitated for sonic time whether to are between t t b h i r s ee di a ffi n c a ul f t ou p r a t i l s o , w oj n e d r fe t e h t e hi m ah o , un i. t i a to in t s ile which of Baidar, or by that of Foros. After a little del.ty dZi!l e titi for the former, end arrived at Baelar fatigued, perspirit.g, and unusually irritable on account of the unruliness of his none. At Haider, a caliche awaited him but no refreshment was pi e pared—his maitreprocreelieCidieeldhioavilinili‘rne on Cu, Sev:istoole. ; ( t p : a a r , t a Tw o hh d e r r e eE vi t F r t r c ro l o. :. ,d. olonel From Baitlar, he Ray.lotti's regiment of Greek Rua; entered his cat cite, and drove to that again t g ur a n in s off to the monastery of St. George. a -- Il d . i 'r .t it a lniecemof at least ten mounted a horse before him to zvast it w o- and rode to the monastery alone, vents. Sir James 1.4.1 gone forward pole, and the Emperor did not arrive there until dark, having rerwiine:l upwards of two hours at the monsalilirYle where was a bishop and several }priests, He entered S evzsto: pole by to chlight, and before going to the house prepared, went to the church, and afterwards reviewed same troops drawn up in a line along the street. through which he passed. His , Majesty dined alone, and it was said scarcely tasted ail ' thing. The following, day, at twelve o'cloek, he examined the barracks, hospital, and forts at Sevaa opole, and then I set out for Bacheterai. On the journey he was ob- Lei red to be asleep in the carriage. At Baehe:ferai, , 'vs Emperor also edited alone, and the following morning be in formed Sir James Wylie that. he had suffered from al teteek of bilious diarrhoea in the night, but that he was then pet:ie. - 1; w , 11. Thus he said, will all my complaints pass away without the help of meeicine.' Sir James did not state to tee the circumstances which led the Emperor to believe that medi cal treatment was of no avail in arresting the progress of dis ease and to determine him not to have recourse to its aid. There could be no doubt that the Emperor bad some peculiar views about the doctrine of predestination, but whether his scepticism respecting the efficacy of medicine originated in these opioiens, I could not ascertain. " His Majesty that day went to Chufut Kali, and returned in the afternoon to Bacheserai to meet the Tartar chiefs. Next day he went to Kosloff, and on arriving there Sir James observed that they had passed some marshes which emitted a most disagreeable odour. The following night he slept near Perecop, and on the next between the Isthmus and Oriekoff. At this place he was observed by his valet de-chembre to be ill, but his Majesty did not inform Sir James of the circumstance, and the latter saw nothing unusual in the appsaratica of the Emperor the next morning during their visit to an hospital dose by this village. But the val: t aft eraser& stated that his Majesty had been very ill in the night, and inquired if Sir James did not observe how pale he was. In the carriage with General Diebitch on the road to i\!arienpole, the Emperor was st. aeked with violent shivering:, and on arriving there had a strcng and distinct paroxysm of fever. A warm bed was prepved for him, and he took some hot punch. As the place they were in was of a wretched description, Sir James recommended him to push forward to Taganrog on the following day, and there to take the proper remedies. They reached Taganrog on the sth of November, 0. S. On the two following days, the Emperor suffered severely from derangement of the liver and digestive organs, and experienced severe paroxysms of fever. It was evident that he was severely attacked with the bilious remittent fever of the Crimea ; but at this time there was no head•aehe or any other symptom of the brain being affected. Four grains of calomel were give!), and some purgative medicine, with great but tem. porary relief of the febrile symptoms, yet his Majesty would not consent to a repetition of these remedies, or to the adoption of any other means. On the Bth, the fever continued with undiminished violence, and as the Emperor positively re• fused to avail himself of the aid of snedicine Sir James re quested that Dr. Stofregen, physician to the Empress, should he called into consultation. His head had now become burn ing hot, and a marked change was perceptible in his Majesty's countenance. 'When Dr. Stofregen was introduced, he said, ' I am distressed to see your Majesty suffering in this manner.' Say nothing of my indisposition, replied the Emperor, but tell me how the Empress is.' After being sati-fied on this point, his Majesty told Dr. Stofregen that Sir James Wylie considered him in a dangerous state, but he added, ' I feel that I am not seriously ill, and that I shall recover without the employment of medical aid.' It was the opinion of the physicians that the Emperor should have been bled at this time, and that calomel and cathartics should have been freely administered, and this opinion they gave to the Emperor in a decided manner, but he would not consent to the employment of any remedies. The paroxysm of fever recurred, but there were occasional remissions when the pulse came down to the natural state; once to seventy-one and repeatedly to ninety. but it was at all times during the progress of the disease ex tremely small and feeble. " On the 13 h of the month, and tenth day of the disease, it WAS again proposed to take blood from the Emperor, but he would not submit. On the morning of the 14th, Sir James and the other medical attendants again urged him to the same purport, but he refused, even to the application of leeches to the head. He rejected this proposal with the greatest impa tience and obstinacy. The Empress on her knees implored him to consent, but he would not. At first,' he said, ' I had only an intermittent fever, and now it has been con verted into a continued fever, and I will trust rather to my ci,nstitution than to the means restomatended.' As it was now obvious that his life was in imminent danger, and that he was becoming worse and worse, Sir James pro posed, late in the evening, that a priest should be brought to him. Sir James was again desired by the Empress to endeavour to convince his Majesty that his life was in the greatest danger, and that as he would not submit to medical tr. atmerit, he should think seriously, so long as he retained censc:ousness, of employing spiritual aid. On the morn ing of the 15th, at Ave o'clock, he was confessed by the pies' ; and he requested that in this religious act he should l.e centered as a simple individual. When this was finished, the priest strongly urged his Majesty to employ medi cal aid, saying that, unless he did so, he would not fulfil the whole of his Christian duty. Between nine and ten o'clock he consented, for the first time, to the application of leeches to the temples. The brain had now become affected, and he was on ca-einally delirious, aial uttered incoherent et:pre .sions. For thirty hours before his death the Empress lordly quitted his bed.-isle. The scene was most affecting when the Emperor, on the 19;h, expired. The Empress had been kneeling by his h, d-siie, with her eyes fixed upon him, as he gradually became weaker and weaker, until all signs of life were gone. Then, risi g, she closed his eyes. and with a handkerchief bound up his head, to suppott the lower jaw. After this, she folded his arms over his breast, kissed his hand, and then knelt down by the side of the dead body for half an hour in prayer to (hod. Throughout the whole of his Majesty's ihness she manifested the strongest attachment to her husband, and at his death was inconsolable. " ('n the post mortem examination of the body being made, the appearances observed were such as ate most frequently met with in those dying from bilious remittent fever, with iieernal coegestion. Two ounces of serous fluid were found in the ventricles of the brain, and all the veins and arteries were gorged with blood. There was an old adhesion between the data and pia mater at the hack part, but of no great extent. The heart and lungs were sound, but too vascular. The liver was turgid with blood, and of a much darker colour than natural. The spleen was enlarged, and softened in texture. • The prey aleilee of.fever in th - Crimea during the autumn, the sudden change of the weather when the Emperor left the coast, the usual symptoms appearing in the course of a few days after quitting Perecop, as I had before observed in others, with the subsevent history of the disease and the appearances after death, rendered it certain that the Emperor Alexander was cut off by the bilious remittent fever of the Crimea. During the six weeks I remained at Taganrog after the Emperor's death, I never heart that any one entertained a doubt, or expressed a suspicion that his Majesty's death was attributable to any other than a natural cause. The physicians who had the care of Its Alajesty were accused by some, without the slightest ground, of mismanaging the case ; and I heard the question repeatedly i.ut, Why they did not compel his Maje •ty to submit to their plait of treatment?' or, in other words, as Sir James Wylie expre;sed i•, why they did not commit the crime of /he- Majestel —a pr seeding which no circumstances could ever justify. I enjoyed the best opportunities in the Crimea of observing the devreed attachment. of Sir James Wylie to the Emperor Alex ander, whom he hail accompanied in all his campaigns; and I conscientiously believe, that on this trying occasion Sir James Wylie discharged his arduous professional duty in a manner worthy of his high reputation." GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-sHIV. Auc. 15 rids fneno.: - .r ii di i tit B.t.y of New York on t:to atterno in of Surt dny, the 10 h o'AuE,rust, after a pas:•mge of fourfec , n days t...vewy-onc hours. She was tel-graphed nt n.)on, but, site was not positively known by the puilic gene rally to be near till about two o'clock, when thousands upon th•Jusands of the New Yorkers proceeded in conti nued streams towards every spot from which a view of her might be obtained. For two or three days previous to her arrival false ru mours of her approach had been given, and some anxiety on Sunday morning began to be felt respecting her. Many supposed, and indeed it was so stated by the public press, that she would not sail from England until the second week in August, but all tin se uncertainties were dissipated by her appearance off Sandy Hook. Sunday is a great day with the New Yorkers for pro menading Broadway, and for taking ssxcursions down the bay ; but the expectation created of seeing the far and wide renowned iron• snip, whose Bristol parturition was so difficult, and ab.tut which thi:re has been such a multipbcity of opinions, made the banks of the river the only place tf resort. I was sitting in a friend's parlour, in Brooklyn, when about half past two o'clock 1 saw her smoke from my window, aryl immediately proceeded to the " heights," whence the panoramic view of New Yolk city, the East Illver, and the Biy is exceedingly fine ; there I hal the first view of the Great Britain. A regular New York August sun was pouring down almost intolerable heat, and the water gleamed like mol ten silver. Amongst a fleet of small steamers and river craft Has the " big ship," a Triton amongst the minnows. She was approaching the battery, and seemed to be skering for the North River, but when she had shown herself to the thousands who thronged the promenade by the Castle garden—perhaps the most magnificent city promenade in the world—she turned as on a pivot, and slowly steamed over to the Brooklynshore, and then passed gracefully below the Heights, which, together with the Gowanns shores, the masts of shipping, the tops of houses, and, indeed, every spot which commanded a view of the river, were crowded. She then went on slowly to her wharf, at the foot of Clinton-street, where she was mo , Ted ir. safety. It was not until she got opposite the Battery that her great size made any impressi in on the spectators. As she passed the North Carolina man-of-war her great length was apparent, but I did not think she looked very elegant with her six low masts. The graceful rig of the American vessels is well known, and the Great Britain contrasted unfavourably in the opinion of many. Ne vertheless she was heartily welcomed, altho•igh there was no cheering ; the lay forbade any demonstration of the kind. In five minutes Broadway was deserted ; young and old, rich and poor, all flocked towards Atlantic-wharf, and the gr,e,test difficulty was found in preserving order. N few accidents occurred, but none of a serious nature. As the ship entered the harbour she was gaily dressed with colours, which streamed from each of her masts. At the gaff. the large union flag of England floated gaily in th, breeze ; the first mast had the Austrian flag ; the second mast the Russian ; the third, the Spanish ; the fourth, the French tricolour : the main, the union jack ; at the foremast, a blended flag of England and Amtrica, t!.;e stars of the latter country blending with the blue, white, and red of the union of England, and at the lower quartering the stripes. Some of the papers the next morning, with the usual American sensitive tvss, c..mc out pretty strong on Captain Hoskin, for not haying displayed the American flig (they had not noticed the, fl it I have just mentioned), and expressed a great deal shoat the intended insult, &c. It was to be wiped out with blood, a'.d all that. This was laughable enough, and a hen these journals discovered thtir error, the exhi bition was ridiculous indeed to the rightly-thinking por ti:as of the c antnunity. Whilst I was mixing freely in the crowd, listening to the various opinions which were broached, I was greatly amused ; one fellow, a regular wag itt his w,y, turned his plug scientifically, looked at the royal arms on the bows of the vessel, and said that the lion was like one of their drinks. for he had a " cock tail." This same lion was the subject of many a joke, vn 1, to tell the truth, he was a very fierce-looking lion, and really provoked it ; but I cannot rernembt-r half of them. The best joke I heard, however, was made by an impudent young vagabond, who was singing out, " Extras—news tram Eu-rope." Ile squinted at the flag w biah showed the emblems of both countries, and then bawled out, " d--d if Great Britain han't an nex',l we." _ . Tie g, , neral impression amongst the Americans is, that she is riot so large as they expected. I don't knoy. what they would have. To be sure, she is not so long as some of the North River boats, some a which are upwarls of 350 feet in length, 16 of them going to it ; but then they would not do for ocean stvaming ; and in point of breadth are far below the Great Britain. ficr model is not greatly adm;r , d, and they call it clumsy. On the whole, she has not made such a sensation as per haps her proprietors expected, and is not considered here as a safe boat. People in America will prefer the Bus. ton steamer or the packet•ships to her. Captain Hoskin informed me that nothing of any im portance occurred on the voyage out ; the prissentrurs seemed all pleased .with the ati,aimmidatimis, and spoke in the verN highest ter , its of Captain Hoskin as a gen• tl•-man an l a sailor. They remarked on the very slight vibratory motion in the Great Britain as compared with that produced by paddlewheels, and seemed confident as t the ultimate success of th , ship. . . • On Monday notice was given that the Great Britain would he op,ned to the public at the rate of 25 cents. a head, and ernts. extra to the engine -room, so thit ,he is to he i;ia& a show here. just as she was in England. Th , u,ands of persons hive visited her, and all express themselves as being greatly delighted and surprised at her internal arrangements. Captain Hoskin is the lion of the week, and is followed by crowds wher ever he shows himself. From Boston,ltim-re, And other neighbouring cities, strangers are pouring into New York, all anxious to see the " big ship."

Barrow, made his will in 1534, giving certain specific legacte', and devising anti bequeathing the residue and reniaiiider of the estate and effects to his wife, under certaisi conditions. Subsequently, deceased obtained an enfranchisement of certain copyhold property, which he possessed in Brighton ; after which, without altering or republishing his will, he died. This property, consisting of a nest of cottages, called France and Durham, at the top of North -street, were subsequen 1Y removed to form an approach to the railway tat-mint", and a portion of the site is now in the market as building wound. On investi gating the title, it appeared that the enfranchised property did not pass by will to the widow, as part of the residue of the estate, it being freehold p r operty su bse q uentl y a cquired; and the deceased h av i ng no - c hildren, inquiry aroa made for the collateral heirs, when it wa s discovered that the de ceased had none, he being an illegitimate child, and, conse. quently, by the law of Eneland, having no father or mother, or collateral relations. The only mode of enabling the widow to complete the title was to take proceedings to declare the property escheated to the Crown, in which event the Crown has generally been advised to grant the same back again to the party who appeared to have the best claim to it, and who generally initiates the proceeding!. The proceedings in this ease were taken by the widow, who failed in satisfying the nu. merous applicants for the building plots of the validity of her title. The whole of these facts having been detailed in evi dence, the jury returned a verdict declaring the property an escheat.

MARKET NI-! . .1v .--.(YESTERDAY.) COILN-nxcnltzir a E, During the past week the weather has been extremely favourable for the ingathering of the crops; hence the ad vices which have reached us to-day from nearly all parts of England—but more particularly from the forward districts, in which large breadths of wheat and other grain have been already carried in good condition—including Ireland and Scotland, are of a more gratifying character than those which have been received for some time previously. The quality of the grain as yet submitted to the process of thrash ing is stated to be below an average, though the weight is nearly, or quite, equal to that of former seasons. Since this day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the receipts of English Wheat were somewhat liberal for the time of year, and of full average quality. Of Barley, Beans, Peas, and flour the receipts were comparatively small. Fresh up this morning, however, upwards office hundred quarters of wheat of this year's produce came to hand, chiefly from Essex with a few parcels from Kent and other parts. The fresh supply of old wheat was small. As the dealers purchased with great caution, the demand for that description of produce ruled dull. New wheat may be quoted from Is to 2s; old qualities Is per quarter lower than on Monday last, and a clearance was not effected. The prices obtained for the former varied from 48s to 60s per quarter, and at which nearly the whole was dis posed of. A total clearance of the old parcels was not effected. The show of fine foreign wheat was by no means large. Holders were tolerably firm, yet the trade was in a sluggish state, and when sales were forced an abatement of quite Is per quarter was submitted to. Bonded Grain was quite neglected. There was scarcely any English Barley on show, while that of Foreign was by no means large. Grind. ing and Distilling parcels commanded a ready sale, at ex tensive rates. In Malting qualites only a moderate business 'was doing. Although the supply of Malt was somewhat on the increase, we had a fair retail demand for it, at ful'y, but at nothing quotable beyond, previous figures. From Ireland very few Oats have reached us since our last, but we have to report the arrival ofupwards of 37,000 quarters from foreign ports. The Oat trade was very dull, at, in some instances, a decline of 6d per quarter. lieaus and Peas supported late rates; hut Flour was offering at somewhat easier terms. Several parcels of new Seeds w,re on show, but the business doing was trifling.

Since Monday last, the imports of live stock for this market have been extensive, they having amounted to 22 Oxen and Cows from Hamburgh, and 200 Oxen and Cows, together with 76 Sheep, from Rotterdam. We had on offer 190 Dutch Beasts, in excellent condition ; indeed, they were some of the best animals we had seen fur some weeks past. At the out ports, the arrivals of stock from the Continent have proved large, viz. 220 Beasts and Sheep, all at Hull. From our own grazing districts, the Bullock sup plies received fresh up this morning were very extensive for the time of year, while a decided improvement was noticed in their quality and condition. Although the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, theßeef trade was in a very de pressed state, at a decline in the currencies obtained last week of quite 2d per 81bs, the highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 4s per Sibs, and a clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re ceived 600 short horns, Scots and homebreds ; from the northern counties, 800 short horns, &c. ; from the western and midland counties, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from Scotland 200 horned and polled Scots.— 'rhe numbers of sheep were somewhat on the increase, though by no means larger for the season. Prime old Downs sup ported previous rates, but all other kinds were 2d per 81bs lower, with a heavy demand. Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish inquiry, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The Veal trade was in a sluggish state, yet prices were mostly supported.

Mr. TaID, with whom was Mr. Tooke, applied, upon no tice, for a special injunction to restrain the defendant from invading a patent, obtained by the plaintiff, for the manu facture of top tips for umbrellas. It appeared, from the statements of the Learned Counsel, that both plaintiff and defendant were umbrella manufacturers in Birmingham ; that the plaintiff obtained a patent, in 1837, for the manufacture of a peculiar description of top-tips for umbrellas, and that in 1841, upon discovering that the defen dant was making &similar article, he brought an action against him in consequence of his infringement of his rights. To that action the defendant pleaded that the invention was not nem, and that it was useless. Upon the action being tried the jury found that the invention was novel and useful, but that the plaintiff was not the first inventor. The plaintiff then disclaimed to certain parts of his specification, and thus matters stood till a short time since, when the plaintiff discovered that the defendant was manufacturing articles similar to those manufactured by him under his amended patent, and upon that discovery he filed his bill and gave notice of the present appli cation. Mr. SWANSTON opposed the application, on the ground that the plaintlf knew well of the pioceeilings of the defendant, and that the defendant had a right to do what he had done, inas much as the patent wa invalid. His HoNous declined making any order until more explicit affidavits were filed with respect to the time when the plaintiff first discovered that the defendant was making the articles, for the manufacture of which the plaintiff claimed the exclusive right. The motion consequently stands over till the termina tion of the long vacation. His HONOUIt will not sit aga'n till the first day of Michael mas COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Se.q. I. (B4'ore Mr. Commissioner PANE..) IN RE GLASS AND JONES. The Learned Commiss-oaer was occupied a con siderable time in li, , sriog urguiveirs in this case (~n summons being obtained iind3r the New Bankruptcy Law, on which to found proceedings in bankruptcy. The affidavit set forth that the defendant wa; the drawer of a certain bill of exchaoge which had been dishonoured by the acceptor, arid had been plod by the plaintiff; who was indorser. For the defendant it was contended that the affidavit was insuffi , Aent for the defendant to be called upon to make any answer, as it did not aver that due notice hail been given, without which no debt arose. In reply it was urged that an affidavit like the present was sufficient even in calling on persons to put in bail. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that in cases of bail the mischief was not so great as under this Act—it certainly affected a person's liberty, but he did not have the whole of his property forfeited as under the bankrupt law. lie did not consider he was called upon to decide on such nice points as these, without text book or authorities. It was the duty of the plain tiff to be prepared with them, for he, as a Commissioner of Bankrupt, did not understand the law of bail, nor was it expected that he should. The plaintiff's solicitor said that the want of notice, if it had not been given, was a defence to the action, and the defendant could easily swear he bad a defence, and then there would be an end to the summons._ The Learned COMMISSIONER said the plaintiff was first bound to sh , )w that the defendant WAS indebted, and the question was whether the affidavit made out that fact sufficiently to call on the defendant to answer it. Theee proceedings were of deep importance, as now payment of the debt, if admitted, was an act of bank ruptcy. After referring to several cases the Learned C•tminissioners said that it was true, as had.been suggest ed, that the notice of dishonour need not be alleged even in the declaration, as non-notice was a defence, but in that case there was no direct interference with personal liberty. It had been held by the Judges as a genera! principle, that where a question arises as to the liberty of the subject, the person setting the law in motion was bound to make out a clear case of right on his part. The inclination of his mind was that the affidavit ~as insuf ficient, and that the Courts would require a grt ater de gree of ceriaint, when such serious consequences would ensue. An old case of Davidson and Marsh, in the Com mon Pleas, had been quoted, in which it had been held that an affidavit stati';g that a party was indebted as in dorsee, without evi n alleging the bill became due, was sufficient. In that case he supposed that the swearing the person was indt-btcd was taken to comprise every thing else. The case of Jone: amid Collins, 6 Dowling, a more modern case, was just the revere. Under these circumstances he would not decide the matter unless a case in point, or some text book on the law, was pro duced.— The hearing was wijeurned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY ) MANSION-HO USE. THE LATE FRACAS AT THE EAST INDIA HOUSE At one o'clock Sir Henry Willock, Chairman of the East India Company, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer a complaint preferred against him, at the instance of Mr. Peter Gordon, for an assault committed in causing his expulsion fr..m the chairman's chair at a meeting of the proprietors of the East India Stock, held on Saturday,the •23,1 August last. The case which had been partially heard on a previous day, an an.. c..unt of which appeared in the Sun, has caused considerable excitement in the City, and particularly amongst the proprie tors, directors, and others connected with the East India House. The Court was literally crowded with the friends of both parties. On the bench were Sir Lionel Gnldsmid, Sir Henry %Villock, Mr. Hogg, M.P., the Deputy-chairman, and several of the directors of the East India House. Mr. Clarkson, the barri,ter, appeared on the part of Sir Henry Willock, and Mr. Parry on the part of the com plainant. The LORD MAYOR, having taken his seat, inquired of Mr. Gorden if he was ready to proceed with the case? Mr. Gordon-_ 7 I am, my Lord. Mr. Clarkson understand my friend Mr. Parry is in structed to appear for the complainant, and I have no wish to take any advantage of his absence, ani would suggest waiting a reasonable time, if Mr. Gordon has no reason to believe he will not attend. Mr. Gordon—l expected to have seen him here. Mr. Parry having entered the Court, considerable delay took place in obtaining the attendance of a second magistrate to enable an adjudication. Alderman .goon having entered the Court, Mr. Parry proceeded briefly to stat: the facts out of which the assault arose. Mr. Gordon, being a proprietor of stock of 1,0001., the value of which is 2,8001., attended a special meet ing of the proprietors, convened, according to a requisition s igned by Sir Charles Forbes, General Briggs, and others, to consider the claims of the Raja of Sattara, held on the 23d of August, by adjournment from the previous day. The meeting was appointed for ten o'clock, but at half-pa.t. nine Mr. Gordon attended, and placed himself in the chairman's chair. At ten o'clock Sir Henry Willock, the chairman, entered the Court, with Mr. Hogg and a body of the Directors, and proceeded to where Mr. Gordon was sitting. Sir H. Willock then somewhat sharply desired him to vacate the chair. M:. Gordon rose and said if it was the desire of the Proprietors that he should do so he would at once comply, and moved on one side of the chair. Mr. George Thompson, a Proprietor, then proposed Sir H. Willock should take the chair, which was seconded by Mr. Gordon, upon which Mr. Hogg protested against that motion being put, as Sir H. Wil lock was entitled to the chair as a matter of right, as Chair man of the East India Company. Sir Henry Willock also refused to be voted in the chair, and claimed it as a right, upon which Mr. Gordon re-took the chair. Sir Henry Willock again requested him to vacate the chair, or he should be comp-lb-d to use force to compel him. Mr. Hogg also ad vising his being removed, ultimately a constable of the name of Wilson was called, who took Mr. Gordon by the arm and re moved him from the chair towards the door. Mr. Gordon requested to be taken to prison or before a magistrate, but the constable said he had nothing further to do with it, and Mr. Gordon ultimately remained in the room ; this was the assault complained of. Mr. Gordon having been called, and deposed to those facts, Mr. Clarkson, at considerable length, cross-examined him. to show that it had been a previously arranged movement, with a view to test his right as a Proprietor ; and in the course of which Mr. Gordon admitted he had writ ten and got printed a number of hand-bills, which he had distributed without any printer's name to them, reflecting upon the Directors, and which Nlr. Clarkson designated as a libel. Mr. George Thompson was also called to prove the same facts, and, on cross-examination by Mr Clarkson, stated Mr. Gordon had told him he intended to pursue the course he had, and he ('lr. Thompson) advised him not, to prevent confusion, as he was deeply interested in the matter that would be brought under discussion. Mr. Clarkson said he seriously asked the Lnrd Mayor if he called upon him, on behalf of Sir Henry Willock, to answer so trumpery a charge? It was clear that Mr. Gorden had him self no vote, and that he was an intruder in taking the chair, not having been requested or elected to the chair. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to make some very strong re marks upon the conduct and motives of Mr. Gordon, when he was stopped by the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAyon—l perfectly agree with my brother Magistrate, that Mr. Gordon was himself an intruder, and that the case must be dismissed.—ilism;ssA accordingly. Mr. Clark s on applied for a certificate of the dismissal. Mr. Parry said the matter would not end there, as there were other Proprietors who were determined to try the ques tion as to the right of the chairman to take the chair without the consent of the proprietors. BOW-STREET. James Hawes was placed at the bar before Mr. Twy ford, upon the following charge : Policeman F 143, said that about ten o'clock last night he saw the prisoner in Holborn, talking with a woman, to whom he was thing abusive language. Witness de• sired him to go on, which he refu=ed to do, and used abusive language to him, upon which he took him in charge. The prisoner asked several questions of the police man, on which Mr. Twy ford angrily told him to hold his tongue. (The witness seemed very anxious to avoid an swering the questions ) Mr. TWYFORD asked the prisoner what business he was ? to which he answered that he was a bricklayer's lab iurer. The prisoner was about to make a statement in his own di,fenc but Mr. Twyford again toll him to hold his tongue. The prisoner said he could call several witnesses, who would show that the aggression was entirely on the part of the policeman. lie was then about to call one of his witnesses, but admitted that the person he was about to call first was not one of those who were present at the time ; wh-reupon Mr. Twyford said that he could not hear any evidence excqt that eye-witnesses. The priAouer wisned to call some other pets - ;is. but Mr. TWYFORD sai 1 he should fine the prisoner and, in default of payment, send him to prison for fourteen days. 41/..4.I?LBOROUGH-STREET. dre;:se•l Robe. t 13a , j);4 , 'died ma n ' a farm •r's lattturcr, was ch,igt:•l with practisin; i ; the fol.oAing Polic , -censtabl- 91 A. stated that yestorday after noon, he saw the pri.ioner in llyde-pltk, ende;wouring to excite charity by preten , ling th. 4 he was in very gr eat pain owing to bnitene,s.

Saxony cloths and Merinos are in request, and, not being abundant, better prices are obtained. In good hog wool suitable for worsted warps, the demand is good, but weft wools are only bought for immediate consumption, prices being considered too high by the spinners. More business is doing in all kinds of yarn, and better prices aro ob tained. HALIFAX.—We cannot report any change in the several staple commodities of the market since our last, as regards either demand or price. HUDDERSFIELD —ln this town and neighbourhood there is still an active trade, and a very animated de mand for all kinds of heavy goods, and in all kinds of goods a fair amount of business is being done at mode rate prices. _ . _ LE/KlM—The heavy state of the corn-markets, both in London and the country, and the favourable state of the weather, has produced more confidence in our cloth mar kers ; both on Saturday and Tuesday more than an aver age quantity of goods was sold. There have also been more goods delivered during► the wet-k than ti. some time past. Tee same causes have al-,o it,dueed many buyers to visit the town within the last few days ; in consequence business has been pretty brisk in th. warehouses. HECKMONDWICILE BLANKET MAIIKET.—The demand for blankets continues good. There was a full attend ance of merchants to-day, and good samples were readily bought up. MANCHESTER.—The tendency downwards of our cloth-market, which was so visible on Twsday, has, owing to the fine harvest weather, been stayed, and that is all that can well be said. The demand is pretty good, but not extensive, at the full prices current on Tuesday. There is a good Irish demand for the lower qualities of manufactured goods, such as fustians, do mestics, &c., and will, it is thought, continue. Yarns are still very buoyant and quick of salt at late prices. POLICE CHANGES.—We understand that Inspector Russell, who has so long been employed in attendance on her Majesty, has been removed from that office, and is now attached to the A division. No cause has been assigned for this removal, and as Inspector Ru sell enjoyed the en tire confidence of those members of the royal household who had the best means of estimating his zeal and intelligence, we can only ascribe his removal to the eapri !e of some newly-appointed official. He is suceeeied by In.pector Howie. of the N or Islington division, and the place of Howie is to be supplied by Inspector Tarleton, of the A division. Inspector Tarleton has been in this latter division since he entered the force, and was one of the officers selected for attendance on the House of Commons when that duty was transferred to the metropolitan police. His removal from a district in which he has been so long known and se highly respected will be a matter of much regret to the inhabitants. He is a zealous, well-informed, and courteous officer.— Cbserver.

A RAILWAY TRAIN ON FIRE. An alarmii.g fire broke out yesterday morning in the ,even o'clock train from Glaszow, on the Edinburgh and Glasgow line. WWI the train had arrived about a mile from the Castlecary station, dense smoke was obs , rved G+ rise from a cattle-box, filled with household furniture, which, together with a lugg , rge van, was hooked on be t a the engine and the open carriages containing pas scrigors. It at once beca - ne evidwnt that embers from the grating of the engine had caught upon the furniture, which was only covered by a sheet of coarse tarpaulin. One of the passengers informs us, that so dr fective was the grating, that he observed large pieces of red cinders blowing out upon the cattle-box. The passengers in the open carriages became alarmed, and the engineer was hailed from all parts of the train. The guard raised his flag and the passengers their hats and um brellas ; but whether these were imperceptible to the engineer, on account of the dense columns of smoke hick were now rising from the burning van, or whether he imagined that the best course to adopt was to make ill haste to arrive at Castlecary, where plenty of water could he got to extinguish the flames, it is certain, at l.asr, that the train was not stopped until it arrived at that station. The fire soon reached a second van, in which th , passengers' luggage was stowed, and a burn ing fragment of the cattle-box was blown into one of the :•pea carriages, to the great alarm and danger of the passengers in it. One of the passengers, though not in h.- clmage nearest the fire, leaped out, and was very :.uch brukeri abut the face. Luckily, the distance to C,stleeary IT+s ry short, as the train arrived at that before the tire had fully reached the passengers. It was found, however, that the first van was completely , fe,tioyei/, together with th,e furniture it contained, to ;he it is said, of 1501. or 2001.—Edinhurgh Wit ees. TERRIFIC RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Geouce.smn, SUNDAY MORNING. —A most terrific accident occurred yesterday evening, about ten o'clock, on the Bi,eninghain and Gloucester Railway, near the l)dl.rd station, which is situated within 33 miles of Bir mingham and 20 of Gloucester, by which Joseph Ward, a fireman, lost his life, several persons were injured and •cal,!ed, two carriages burnt, and two fire-engines very needy destroyed. From the impossibility of extracting int'orinetion from the men employed at the station, the caue , of . the accident is nut satisfactorily stated, but the followieg rests upoa pretty good authority. A luggage train, in the charge of Joseph Ward, en eine- drier, left Gloucester at nine o'clock for Birming ham, and it is said that on arriving at Defferd he ran into a heavy truck which had most culpably been left in his way. The shock was so great as not only to throw the truck on the opposite rails, but to cause the tender to pr eject above the engine, and fall upon it. Poor Ward was pressed against the engine rails by the tender, and twenty minutes elapsed ere he was extricated, and not till lite was extinct. He was conscious for a good many minutes of the effort which was making to save him. The truck, as already not!ic .d, which caused the first accident, was thrown on the opposite rails, and whilst in that position a train trim Birmingham came dishing on. The driver jumped elf and escaped, but the carri-ges were projected above etieh ether, two of them caught fire, some of the passen gers were scalded, and all more or less injured. About three o'clock this morning three of the CJinpany's ser e tilts arrived ; one of them was conveyed to the in ' tirinery, but the others went home. A gentleman who Birmingham !his morning by the 1 A.M. mail train, states that when the pie sengers left the station nobody ceased to have heard of the accident. As they ad vented, however, the pace slackened until it became a walk. This led to an it quiry, end the passengers were t-ld that tin accident bed occurred. On nearing the fate) spa, the passengers were asked to leave the ear ring, s aed wale across a field and regain the rails at an ether point, Our informant, however, went back, and saw waggon piled upon waggon, and one of them with the b atom burnt out and still on fire ; the tender was l y i ng upon the luggage engine. The passengers h ali been removed by this time. Anther account is that • he itecitient was occasioned by the meeting of the tr;: it;. 'l . '6 favourable chf:n..4e of weather since our last date of publication has e•;ab'ed the farmers to cut a large lire ulth of ta hea.., but comparatively little has yet been housed.
