IPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. DOE TES EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—" A good man struggling under misfortune is a sight for the gods." So said an ancient philoso pher. But the world had not then seen a great corn saereial country struggling under a Tory Ministry. Our modern instance beggars in sublimity the ancient apothegm. As, however, a good man so struggling saay be supposed to find in an occasional glance at the more fortunate eonditioa of his neighbours the con soling assurance that his lot is but an exception, and probably as temporary in duration as it as partial in extent, so may we yet occasionally look abroad, and, in the brighter prospects of other nations, find promise of an Improvement in our own. In the progress of sound principles of commercial economy, especially, we have an interest greater than that of any other people. Every step of that progress, wherever made, must be a gain to ourselves. We have been led to these observations by a consideration of the present position of parties in the United states, as developed by the approach of the period appointed for the election of a new President. It seems to be one of the necessary consequences of a democratic election, conducted as that of the American President is, that it should generally result in the choice, not of the man whose talents and energy best fit him to govern, but rather of he against whom the fewest objections can be urged ; and so to place at the head of the republic rather one in whose opinions the majority concur most completely, than one in whose ability they have the greatest confidence. This may mainly account for the .exclusion of such men as John Caldwell Calhoun, and the election of Mr. Polk, when the representation of the democracy of the United States is in question. But such men, wherever their particular place may be, always have their weight ; and speculating, as circumstances may now warrant us in doing, upon the probability of Cal houn taking an important part in the American Go vernment daring the next Presidency, it may be inte resting to the British public to review shortly his past career, and mark what it promises for the future. Our present purpose is to do this, and we take as our chief authority a volume published in New York about twelve months ago. It purports to afford a complete view of his political life down to that time, " together with a selection from his speeches, reports, and other writings, subsequent to his election as Vice-President of the 'United States." Born in 1782, it appears that lac entered Congress in what has been called the War Session of 1811, and immediately became a leading member of the party which preferred war to a submission to the restrictions IV() were then attempting to enforce upon American commerce. In 1817 he became Secretary of War, which office he held until 1825, when he was elected to the office of Vice-President. It is chiefly from this period that we must view him as a commercial reformer, and a determined opponent of the measures by which America has shown a disposition to imitate the restrictive and destructive commercial system of the old world. We find his speeches abounding in argu mentative and eloquent denunciations of the protective system, as applied to the produce and manufactures of the United States, and his growing influence constantly exerted in favour of the adoption of those enlightened principles of commercial policy which have at length become so prevalent that they have even insinuated themselves into the Conservative Cabinet of England. Would that their inconsistency with all else they find there were not productive of quite so much vacillat ing and blundering legislation—that our sapient rulers, blinded by the light of principles to which their vision is unfitted, would consent to stand still where the only alternative must be floundering into mischief 'But to return to our subject. The opinions of Mr. Calhoun have been so clearly and freely expressed in favour of liberal commercial arrangements between the United States and this country in particular, and are throughout so uniform and consistent, that we can have but little difficulty in anticipating the course to be taken by any Government of which he may happen to be a ineutber. His untiring opposition to the Tariff Bill of 1828, followed by similar but more powerful efforts against that of 1842, have suffi !iently attested Ills character as a commercial statesman. His spetch in Congress on the latter, made in August, 1842, may be taken as a complete manifesto of the views by which be is liitay to be guided in the conduct of any nego tiation between the two countries in which he may bear a part. After describing the particular effect of the restrictive system upon the American trade in cotton, end also upon some other branches of native industry, ha reverts to a more general view t f his subject, and ob serves that " this Bill (the Tariff Bill of 1842) would affect them all alike ; cause them to sell less, arid give more for what they buy, and to fall back on their own resources for supplies ; or abandon their pursuits, to be followed, .finally, by impoverishment and loss of custom to those with whom it originates. The .hole tendency of the measure is to isolate country fi . oca country, state from state, neighbourhood from neighl,ourhood, and family from fa m 15-, with di minished means and increasing poverty as the circle contracts. The consummation of the sysrt m, to use an illustration of a deceased friend, is Robinson Crusoe in goatskin.' " Yet there is no want in Mr. Cal houn of that salutary caution for which Conservatism claims so much merit. " I am not ignorant," he gond miss, " that it is the work of time and of great delicacy to pass from the artificial condition in which the country tias long been placed, in reference to its industry, by a mistaken and mischievous system of policy. Sud den transitions, even to better habits or better condi tions, are hazardous, unless slowly afected. With this jeapreasion, I have ever been adverse to all sudden s teps, both as to the currency and the s 5 stem of po licy which is now the subject of our deliberation, bad s ; I believe them both to be." How Mr. Calhoun is dis p d to apply these principles to international policy ose, str ay gsithered from the following passage from a letter of I:ti.q. published in the Times in September, 1843, and having direct reference to a commercial arrange ment between England and the United States : " I am for free traae—free trade an both sides, if it tan be had, but if not, en one aide. It is good in part, Jut better in whole, for the interest of both countries; find my advice, as far as I have an opportunity of giving it to my friends, is, to pusii, without the least relaxation, for decided action on the part of Congress at the next session ; but, at the same time, to throw no discouragement on tho attempt to arrange the duties by mutual agreement ; and I hope they will take that course. It is, I hold to be, the most certain mode to attain the object they have in view—to strike off the shackles of commerce." How will the fine drawn di plomacy of Lord'Aberdeen deal with such views as these? No need here for a subtle distinction between ab stract propositions" and " practical measures" from Sir R. Peel, or for a cunningly devised Bill with a circum bendibus in it from Mr. Gladstone. It is all plain sailing. If Mr. Calhoun could carry his party with him we should have nothing to do. America would reform her own commercial policy, and leave us to struggle out of the meshes of restriction and monopoly as we best could, and as the growth of our common sense should dictate. As it is, we shall probably have far more offered than it will please the Solons of Downing-street to accept. The very plainness and frankness of the offer will scare them from a ready acceptance of it ; while the absence of all need for their favourite weapons in negotiation will pro bably make them unwilling to do anything. Let us hope that the deficiency of our Tory Cabinet may be made good by the better sense of the Republican one. STANDARD.—We have it upon the highest of all authority that " fearfulness" is a sin of the same class with " unbelief," and indeed they seem to be sins closely connected, if not identical. We never remember to have met with a sincere Christian, who either in con versation or in writing, admitted the possibility of any limit to the advance in material happiness or moral improvement of the human race. Such men exalt all their views, and, looking upward, they can better judge of the boundless perspective before us. Adam Smith, the founder of the modern school of political economy, was an infidel, and though an acute and observing man—who could reason justly from what he saw—he, us an infidel, was unable to extend his view far into the future. He therefore drew his in• ferences by an induction from temporary phenomena, and time has demonstrated the fallaciousness of many of his deductions. Most of his followers have participated in this error of defective induction ; would that we could acquit them all of having shared in its cause—his miserable want of belief. We believe that the happy prospects of a Christian nation -which, in proportion to its Christianity, will be a moral, humane, and just nation, are absolutely without limits ; and, with this opinion, we have the most confident anti cipation of the glorious destiny of England. We have seen, even in the lifetime of the youngest man amongst es, what, in the judgment of such reasoners as Smith and Malthus, was an impossibility—nearly a duplication of 'he population, accompanied by reduction, in the proper tio`n of nearly one-half, of the money price of provisions, w hil e ; concurrently with both, the amount of realised rt v in the country has been enormously augmented. irre views of Smith and Malthus were correct, this is a miracle as repugnant to the laws of nature as that mi racle of mere (at which one of them at least would scoff) exhibited on the shores of the Sea of Gallilee. And such, if we Way sa y it without irrever.nce, are the miracles best suites.. l to protect a practical and spe culative age from the sins of fearfulness and unbelief —the sins to which such an age is the most exposed. We cannot help thinking, too, that we see traces of a like miracle in progress in the attention now universally bestowed upon the condition of the labouring classes— an attention which, if it be firmly fixed for a very few Tears, will, we have little doubt, negative the opinion !bleb' so generally maintained, that the condition of ,tose classes is unimprovablo to any great ex tent. If the produce of the earth has more t tban kept pace with the duplication of t h e peo ple, and the accumulation of wealth has far exceeded both, what reason is there to suppose it impossible that the mass of the people can be admitted to a fair share of the common blessing ? Diffi culties there no doubt are in the way of such a distribution ; difficulties, the force of which we are not disposed to underrate. But we will not, after what we have seen, admit that these difficulties are insurmountable, if approached in a Chris- Sian :spirit, and with a fixed, constant, purpose to do -whatever can properly be dome for the improvement or the condition of our labouring countrymen—above sal Singing from us the sin of " fearfulness." The de terk `cation of the condition of the labouring classes is a theme upon which many good men expatiate with a feeling of co mpassion il that does them honour, but this theme been urged, perhaps, too far. If 't has been urged L has beyondthe limits of t ru th, as we t pink it sometimes,yto;exaggerate for been, fr it has passed the bounds of sound p om an evil can follow , and policy nothing go o d fs ono mean S of making th e cure seem desper e a T te il the labouring cl asies ha* . That the co. Idition of some ex' at since the war, see ms to deteriorated to final s LaPe, be capable of p roof a,,1 that the new poor-law, in its ori . . was calculated to aggravate the ~ evils of that dett erioretion, we should be the last to deny; but we are by n a means certain that, as c ompared with She period antec ;dent to 1793, tt9ro has been any 6Ql3' siderable deterioration. We need but to turn to the pages of Goldsmith, Crabbe, and Southey for pictures of ' the labourers' condition in the latter part of the last century, as melancholy as anything that the re lity pre sents in our day ; or if poets may be su,rected of exaggeration, we have the evidence of pro e writers in abundance to the same effect. From among these witnesses we will take leave to produce one, at whose name every English heart will glow with admiration, gratitude, and love—Nelson—the brave, the wise, and, above all, the affectionate. Truly has Southey said of him, " England has had many heroes, but she has had but one Nelson." This is this great man's distinction, and is, it seems, ever destined such to remain—he is not the bject only of his country's gratitude and admiration, but of her love; and with reason, his nature overflowed with affectionate feeling •, he instantly attached himself to every one within his sphere, he repaid one hundred fold in grati tude the slightest service rendered to him, and never had an enemy but the enemies of his country. THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR NOTTINGHAM VERDICT OF THE JURY. NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY MORNING. The adjourned inquest upon Mr. John Dean was re sumed yesterday at ten o'clock. The room was crowded, and amongst those present were G. B. Paget, Esq., W. C. Hutchinson, Esq., and J. Ellis, Esq., Directors ; Mr. Clarke, superintendent ; and Mr. J. Kirtley, manager of the locomotive engines. After a very lengthened examination of several wit nesses, Mr. Campbell addressed the jury on behalf of Mr, Lightfoot. The jury unanimously expressed their high satisfaction with the very ready manner with which the Railway Company had acted. The jury adjourned for half an hour. At eight o'clock, the jury again took their seats, and the Coroner occupied an hour and a half in summing up. The room was then cleared, and at one o'clock the jury returned their verdict as follows : " The jury, after a long and patient investigation of the circumstances, feel compelled by their duty to return a verdict of MANSLAUGHTER against Mr. Robert Lightfoot ; and they cannot separate without expressing their belief, that notwithstanding the management for general transition by railroad, much might be done, and ought to be done, to render railway tra velling more secure, and especially of second-class carriages, and though they may not be so comfort able as the first-class, they may be as safe. And they also intimate, that passengers ought not to be taken along the wrong line of rails without their consent- The jury further suggest that much more safety might bo secured by the general introduction of electrical telegraphs. There was also another point which the jury think ought to be attended to, and that is, that in future great care should be taken to ascer tain that all the company's servants are intimately and perfectly acquainted with their several duties ; and the jury cannot too strongly express their conviction that Jonathan Raven has not sworn to the truth in his deposi tions, and that he is utterly unworthy of the confidence of the Railway Company and the aervice of the public. The jury further wished to remark, respecting Mr. Light foot, that they were exceedingly grieved, on account of the many favourable circumstances in his case, to place him in the painful situation in which they have done, and nothing tett a paramount sense of duty had compelled them to do so. The Coroner wished to join also with every individual of the jury in expressing sorrow on the occasion. There was an other thing which was desired to be recommended to the Railway Company, and that was the situation of Mrs. Dean, who, in the prime of life, has been sud denly, and in a moment, deprived of the stay of her existence and of her support ; and the jury hope that provision will be made for her by the Kailway Company, so as to prevent her feeling, in addition to her heavy loss, the sorrows of destitution and privation." THE SUN, LOND'ON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1844. WINTER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, Nov. 30. (Before Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS.) Richard Seward, 56, maltster, was acquitted on the charge of having feloniously uttered a bill of exchange for 401., bearing a forged endorsement, well knowing the same to be forged, and with intent to defraud William Gilbert and another, executors of John Miles, deceased. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Warwick, Nov. 29. This morning the four persons convicted yesterday, together with nineteen or twenty others, wore put upon their trial for a riot and assault. The evidence was almost identically the same as that adduced yesterday. The names of the prisoners were Thomas Leigh, aged 34 ; Jeremiah Duckworth, 38 ; George Wilcock, 54 ; James Leigh, 3 0 ; Peter Warurton Lowe, 32 ; John Dalton, 49 ; Luke Hullum, 70 ; Thomas Hopwood, 45 ; Henry North, 37 ; Frederick Townsend, 30 ; John Leigh, 59 ,• Samuel Ledbitter, 36 ,• William Green, 25 ; Thomas Taylor, 35 ; Joseph Flowers, 42 ; William Watts, 34 ; James Bickley, 33 ; Samuel Merry, 26 ; Thomas Flowers, 37 ; George Flowers, 19 ; Thomas Hill, 29 ' • Daniel Scriminger, 44 ; William Flowers, 30 ; Thomas Goldsborough, 36 ; Henry Wilcox, 21 ; Joseph Thompson, 42 ; Charles Butler, 33 ; and James Flowers, 26. One of the persons who had been committed (Robert Miles, aged 65) had died since such committal, of a breaking up of the constitution, and a verdict on the in quest was returned to that effect. The two women spoken of as being with the party were not to be pro ceeded against. With reference to this case the same Counsel appeared in support of the prosecution as were retained in the former, while Mr. Temple defended the three Leighs, and Hullum and Ledbitter. Mr. Spooner defended Duck worth, Dalton, Lowe, and Hopwood ; and Mr. Adams appeared for Hill and Thompson • the remainder being undefended. For the undefended portion, George Wilcox put in a written defence, which was read by the proper officer of the Court, that they had been given to understand that James Leigh was going to take posses sion of the great Stoneleigh Abbey estates by some novel means, and that being desirous of seeing the same they accompanied him to the Abbey, but without any evil intent—that they very much regretted the stop they had taken in going there at all, which had been productive of such mischief to themselves, their wives, and families, and pledging themselves to abstain from further acts of violence and annoyance to Lord Leigh. The Learned JoncE closed his summing up shortly after four o'clock, when the jury retired to deliberate, and upon their return into Court at half-past seven, gave a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners upon the eleventh count, alleging forcibly entry ; James Leigh, Guilty of common assault upon Hancocks and Denser, and Flowers, Guilty of a common assault upon Joseph Freeman ; and all Not Guilty of a riot. His LORDSHIP then desired the four prisoners who had been convicted the previous day to stand forward. The present was a case of great aggravation, and he would have them believe what he said to them, namely . , if William Freeman. or any other person had died, he slid not see how it would have been possible to have denied that the offence committed would have been murder. Considering the violent nature of the affray he must teach them a severe lesson, and to James Leigh, who had acted as ringleader throughout, he should award an imprisonment of eighteen calendar months, with hard labour ; to the other three an imprisonment of twelve calendar months and hard labour ; while the remaining twenty-four prisoners his Lordship sentenced to an im prisonment of three months each. There was another indictment for trial, but the Coun sel for the Crown thought sufficient had been done to vindicate the law, and it was not proceeded with. Saturday, Nov. 30. This morning the time of the Court was occupied with the trial of a man for an unnatural offence, wherein an acquittal took place. Also a case of rape, and two or three offences of a minor character, with which termi nated the assizes for this part of the county. The calendar for the other division is but light, the principal case one of arson. The Commission will be opened this (Saturday) afternoon. UNIVERSITY IN TELLIGENCE.

Although buyers have not been so numerous, a fair amount of business has been done, and prices are very firm. ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 29.—There has been a fair demand for combing and clothing wool this week, and last week's prices are firmly maintained. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 29.—Since our last week's report, several of our large consumers of long wool have been in as buyers, and considerable sales have been made at fully last week's rates, which has imparted more firmness to the trade generally. LEEDS.—On Saturday the cloth markets at both halls were dull, but on luesday there was a full ave•• rage business done as compared with the markets of the last few weeks. The stocks of beavers, pilot cloths, and heavy tweeds, have been much reduced, and are now less than usual at this season, but fine and middle qualities still continue dull of sale, and without any alteration in price. There is little doing in finished goods except to order, very few buyers are visiting the market, and the foreign houses are very An BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY —There is a con tinued improvement in the demand for combing wool ; and of some kinds, such as middling wethers and good bold sorts, the market is not abundantly supplied; but as no improvement in price is yet current to in duce the staplers to get a fresh supply from the grower, it is not improbable the market may be a turn higher. The firmness in the wool market has made the position of the spinner even worse than be fore ; and at the present prices for yarns, the spinners are compelled to continue their curtailed regulations till they can get a corresponding price, compared with the raw material. There is a full average attendance of merchants here to-day, and their operations a little more extensive, which we expect will be continued for some weeks, in order to enable them to get a sup ply of goods ready to meet the next fair at Leipzic, in January. The change in the weather during the week is also looked favourably upon by the home trade houses, whose business has not been so exten sive as was looked fur. In prices no marked differ ence is notable. M AN CHESTER, THURSDAY EVEN - MG.—We have had less doing in cloth this week, though a great business must be reported : still there is not the brisk ness and buoyancy that existed on this day week. The home market is rather more still, but, for a month before Christmas, this is by many anticipated. The demand for yarns has also rather declined, but as there are no stocks, and many large spinners engaged till the new year, there is no change in value. BARNSLEY.—The trade of this town i s uncom monly brisk, particularly in the branch of fancy drills, so much so that the weavers are scarce ; and well they may be, when the manu facturers are continu ally reducing their wages.—Leeds Mercury. ACCIDENT ON THE GREENWICH RAILWAT.—On Sunday night week, about eight o'clock, on the arrival of the up-train from Greenwich, an accident occurred to an elderly woman, named Ellen Donaghoe, aged 69, the wife of a Greenwich pensioner, which is likely to prove fatal to her. Previous to the train arriving at the regu lar platform, a man in the same carriage with her opened the door and jumped out. She, believing that the train was at its destination, followed him, when she fell be t‘t een the carriage and the stone platform. In falling she broke her right thigh, by coming in contact with the steps of the carriage. She was immediately con veyed on a slide, procured from the Brighton RaiN ay station, to Guy's Hospital, when it was discovered that she had broken her thigh in two places, just by the hip joint and above the knee. From her age and infirmities there is very little hope of her living many days.

The winter gaol delivery for this county commenced here this morning before Mr. Justice Coleridge. The Learned Judge took his seat on the bench at twelve, and proceeded to charge the grand jury. There are sixty four cases in the calendar,including eighty-eight pri soners. A large proportion of those stand charged with offences of the most serious class. There are three com mitted on the charge of murder, five for manslaughter, two for arson, two for forgery, four for rape, three for sacrilege, eight for cutting and wounding, eight for burg lary, and no fewer than twenty-two for robbery with violence. There are two prisoners who stand charged with the unusual offence of blowing up a steam-engine with gunpowder. In the city of York there is but one prisoner, who stands charged with embezzlement. His Lordship having adverted to the several cases, and the grand jury having retired for a short time, re turned into Court with a bill found. Saturday, Nov. 30. Thomas Carter was indicted for knowingly uttering a forged order for the payment of money, purporting to be drawn and signed by Christopher Sadler, with intent to defraud John Dresser, the public officer of the Yorkshire District Bank. A second count laid an intent to de fraud John Dresser and others ; and a third, an intent to defraud Christopher Sadler. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Blanchard conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Hall. It appeared that on the 20th of July the prisoner, who is a carter, went into the bank at Thirsk and saw a clerk of the name of Johnson. He asked if Mr. Sadler, of Thornton-le-Moor, had been at the bank that day. Mr. Jaekson said he had not. The prisoner then said he had a letter frost him, and presented the order in question, which was, " Please to pay James Jackson the sum of 131., by order of Christopher Sadler." Mr. Johnson asked the prisoner if his name was James Jackson. He replied it was. Mr. Johnson asked if h e wan t e d 13 1 . from Mr. Sadler ? He replied he did, for barley sold to him at Northallerton fair. Mr. J o h nson sa id M r. Sadler could not be buying barley, as he had given up brewing. The prisoner replied, I know he has. After some futher conversation Mr. Johnson refused to pay the order, and the prisoner left the bank. On the 29th of July he called again, and presented a similar order from Mr. Sadler. Mr. Johnson asked hi m if M r . S a dl er h a d sent him with it, and he said he had. The prisoner was then taken into custody, when he begged to be let off, and said he would be glad to make it up. The order was a forgery. In proof of the first count, laying the intent to de fraud Mr. Dresser, as the public officer of the Bank. Mr. Dresser was called, and produced a copy of the under the 7th Geo. IV., apublic officer. He stated irhneet whichuarcnt acted d a an d se e swu t to describedsuch. Mr. S Stamp-office, in p- o a ffi s e. ' Mr. HALL objected that this was not sufficient. It was necessary to produce a copy of the return filed, cer tified under the hand of one of the Commissioners of Stamps. That was the mode of proof specified in the statute. The rule of law as to parties acting in certain offices, being taken to be duly appointed, did not apply to the present case. That rule applied to constables and others, acting for the public and official stations. Mr. Dresser was the officer of a public company. He had no duties to discharge in that office but the one, the only one for which he was nominated to succeed ; he seed in the name of the Company, and the sole motive of his appointment to that duty, was his name being in the return filed at the Stamp -office. Of that there was no proof. There was at present no legal proof before the Court that the copy of the return made out by Mr. Dresser, and sworn to, had ever reached the Stamp office at all. His LORDSHIP reserved the point, as also one that was taken on the second count, laying the intent to defraud Dresser and others, th at t h e B an k cou ld not b e d esc ribed in that form, but only by their public officer. The prisoner was found Guilty, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAITLE;iid Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, &c.) MANSLAUGHTER ON THE RIFER.--A young man, named Samuel Simms, was indicted for having, while in command of the Waterman steamer, No. 6, improperly run down a small boat, rowed by Edward Everett, a licensed waterman, and containing four passengers, by which the said Edward Everett and another person were drowned. The body of the first-named person was af terwards found, and these proceedings were instituted in consequence. Mr. Justice MAULS having summed up the evidence, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of four hours, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy. Henry Brenton, a young man of very respectable ap pearance, was indicted for the manslaughter of Mary, his wife. It appeared from the evidence of the nurse employed on the occasion, that the prisoner's wife was confined in the month of August last, and that about a fortnight after that event she left the prisoner and his wife in their bed-room together, and that soon after she heard a noise and a kind of scuffling going on in the room. She listened, and heard the prisoner's wife say to him, " You may pinch me, or kick me, but I will never give in." On the foll ow i ng day the nurse again saw her; she was then insensible. A medical man was sent for, who did what ho thought necessary for her, but she died on the 17th of the month. Several medical gentlemen, wko had made a past mortem examination of the de ceased's body, were next called, but their evidence was extremely conflicting as to the cause of the death of the deceased, and there being no evidence:beyond that of the nurse as to any ill-treatment of her on the part of the prisoner, the jury, without troubling Mr. Ballantine to address them on his behalf, returned a verdict Acquitting the prisoner. EXTORTION.—John Bennett was indicted for obtaining a watch, with chain, seals, &c., a purse, and other ar ticles from William Faulkner, under a threat of charg ing him with a nameless offence. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that he was a chemist, and had lodgings in Bouverie-street, Fleet-street. On the 10th of November he had been to Regent-street, and on his way home he accidentally met with the prisoner, who was previously an utter stranger to him. They en tered into conversation together. Witness went into a tavern in Fleet-street, where he was followed by the prisoner. Witness called for half-a-pint of stout, and prisoner did the same. Witness paid for both, and soon after, it being then near twAve o'clock at night, he left the tavern, and went home. He let himself in with a latch-key, and having gone up-stairs to his bed-room struck a light. Having done so, he w as alarmed and surprised at finding the prisoner standing alongside of him. The prisoner locked the door, and demanded Q. of him, saying he would never leave the room until he had it. The prisoner ultimately took from him his watch, &c. Prosecutor at length having some what recovered from his fright, went down Ours and informed one of the police, named Chadwick, who lodged in the house, of what had occurred, by whom the pri soner was taken into custody. . . The prosecutor underwent a very long examination by Mr. Robinson, but nothing material was elicited. The prisoner's counsel having addressed the jury at considerable length, sat down without calling any wit nesses on his behalf. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up the evidence, and the jury, after a long consultation, acquitted the prisoner. There was another indictment against him arising out of the same transaction, but ne witnesses being called in support of it, he was acquitted on that charge also. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING.—A serious explo sion of gunpowder occured in Limekiln-lane, Rock Ferry, about half-past eight o'clock this morning. It ap pears that the ship Fairfield, belonging to Messrs. Charles Lawrence and Son, of this town, arrived from Ichaboo yesterday morning, and was towed into the river by one of the steam-tugs. She had on board one barrel of gunpowder, weighing about 201 b., and also 41b. loosely wrapped in paper. One of the laws for the regula tion of the port enacts, that no vessel shall be allowed to enter the river or docks with any gunpowder on board, but shall deposit it at the magazines. The boat which should have waited on the Fairfield, for the pur pose of taking the powder to the magazines, did not come, and consequently it was put on board the tug and landed at Birkenhead, the mate of the Fairfield, whose name is Carrington, undertaking to have it safely kept on the premises of his father, Mr. Richard Carrington, Custom-house broker, in Limekiln-lane, Rock Ferry. The cask was put into an out-house long with the powder in the paper, and this morning the youngest child, a fine boy, between seven and eight years old, got to it, and it is supposed that by some means he was the cause of its ignition. A terrific explosion took place, by which the out-house was entirely levelled to the ground, and the back and frost windows of the house totally de stroyed, besides doing considerable damage in other re spects. The boy, who is supposed to hare caused the explosion, was seriously hurt, and a servant was also injured. _ DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The fourth representa tion of Balfe's grand opera of The DaugAter of St. Mark attracted, on Saturday evening, one of the most crowded audiences ever in this theatre, hundreds being turned away from the doors. We are led to understand that in the grand proeession, whioh terminates the mond . iwt, there are nearly 500 people employed. THE LATE ALLEGED MURDER OF MR. THORN AT CALAIS. ST. OMER, Nov. 28.—The business was opened by the President reading the act of accusation, which charged Sallior with having wilfully committed homi cide by inflicting a mortal wound with a dagger on Mr. Thorn. The names of the witnesses were then called over by the clerk of the court, and the President ordered that they should be conducted out of court, taking care that the witnesses for the prosecution should be placed in one room, and those for the prisoner in another. There were fifteen of the former and six of the latter. They were then called in separately, but the material facts were deposed to by five, viz.,—the trumpeter and two privates of the National Guards, and a commissioner of the Hotel Royal. From the testimony of H. V. Bret son, the trumpeter, it appeared that he and some others of the National Guards, then on duty, had observed Sal lior and Thorn walking arm-in-arm across the Place, and enter the office of Sallior, at the Town-hall, about one o'clock in the morning, Sallior apparently being in a completely drunken state, and Thorn evidently affected by liquor. That from time to time himself and com rades watched them, as they supposed, playing and amusing themselves together. That some time after he returned and perceived Sallior and Thorn, face to face, and that, at that moment, he saw Thorn fait backwards, upon which he ranback and called for assistance ; two comrades came, and, on reaching the body, they saw Sallior, as if coming out of his office, and locking the door. The wit ness was asked, " What time was occupied betvieen his going for assistance and returning to the spot ?" To this he could not answer, but explained that he supposed he had made about twenty-four steps there and back, and had run all the way. On raising the body he heard a noise from the deceased, but whether as an attempt to speak, or from the effect of suffocation, he knew not. They then tried to untie his neckcloth, when they found blood on the left breast of his shirt, and perceived a wound in the breast. Sallior then came up, and ex claimed quel mailieur I—(What a calamity I)—and shortly afterwards asked whether it was a Frenchman or an Englishman, and then desired that Dr. Boulanger should be sent for ; that the body was then carried into M. Sallior's outer office, and was placed upon the table ; that some time after M. Sallior entered his inner office, and in coming out, rested his two elbows on the body of Thorn, and said, "My poor friend with whom I spent the evening." It was further deposed that every endeavour was made to find some instrument with which the blow had been struck, but in vain. The Commissary of Police (M. le Blond) deposed, that he had searched the pockets of M. Sallior and the deceased, but could find no instrument ; but that he ul timately went into M. Sallior's inner office, and found the dagger produced, standing with the blade upwards against some papers on the desk. There were streaks of blood on it. He also saw a penknife on the floor, and the papers strewed about in much confusion ; that Sal lior fell asleep on a chair, and seemed quite unconscious of all that was going on. M. Morey deposed that about a quarter past one o'clock he had gone to M. Sallior's office,,to obtain a per mit of embarkation for a passenger, and that on his pro ducing the passport of the traveller, M. Sallior remarked that it was three months out of date, which having ex plained, he received a permit, but so illegible that it could not be read. M. Sallior was very drunk, and Dr. Thorn stood in the office during the whole time, having M. Sallior's cloak on his arm. That Sallior asked Thorn if he wanted a permit, and repeatedly and angrily told him to leave the office. Drs. Boulanger and Beaupre had made a post mortem examination of the body, and deposed to the nature of the wound, showing, that though possible, it was hardly probable to have been inflicted by the hand of the de ceased, and gave it as their opinion that the blow had been struck by some other hand than his own. The witnesses for the defence were then called, who deposed to their knowledge of Sallior for some years, and described him as civil in his office, honourable in principle, and not addicted to drinking. M. Vinenueve then rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He complained much. of the harsh terms in which the Procureur du Roi had spoken of him. He would not follow him with a detail of what he called a stain on the name of the honourable family of which M. Sallior was a member ; but he would shortly call the attention of the jury to the simple facts of the case, and show that the prisoner could not be found guilty of the crime laid to his charge ; but first he would show the high character in which he had been held by those who were in authority over him. He then read a letter from the Prefect of the Department of La Creuse, and one from the Minister of the Interior, showing that the accused enjoyed their confidence, and the respect in which they held him, M. Sallior having filled the office of Commissary of Police in the department alluded to before he had gone to Calais. He then alluded to the manner in which M. Sallior had been allured into drinking first at Maurice's Hotel, where even he had resisted the temptation offered by some English gentlemen, and lastly, at the Diligence Hotel. He then alluded to what he called the constant habit among the English of drinking toasts, and making exciting speeches. He alluded to the exertions he had made at the masonic lodge, and then entered into a short detail of the evidence given during the proceed ings. With much ingenuity he endeavoured to show the possibility of the deceased himself having committed suicide, either by a blow or falling on the dagger, which had been found in an upright position in the office. He spoke of Thorn as habitually spending his evenings in drinking from six o'clock to twelve or one o'clock, which was not proved in evidence. He sought in vain for a motive which would induce Sallior to murder the deceased, who was his friend. At first the town of Calais was filled with excitement, and every motive that malice could suggest was invented; but all had become calm, and minds had been brought to reflection, and the fatal 'event was looked upon, as M. Sallior had at first exclaimed it to be, a calamity, and not a wilful crime. Perhaps, even it had been a mere accident. He concluded by a most impressive and pathetic appeal to he feelings of the jury, reminding them that Madame Saltier was near, perhaps within hearing, awaiting that verdict which was to restore him unstained to her arms ; and he told them that his two brothers were then present, waiting to conduct him to his mother, who had long been expecting him, and was ignorant of the accusation against him, and implored ' them to declare him not guilty. M. Martinex having made a few remarks on the in nocence of his client, then read a paper which was signed by a number of French and English inhabitants of Calais, which was strongly indicative of the high esteem and regard that M. Sallior was held in by them, both in his publie station as an officer, and in his private character as a member of their society. The President summed up, and submitted the follow ing questions to the jury :-1. Whether the accused had or had not committed the crime of wilful homicide under extenuating circumstances. 2. Whether the accused had or had not committed the crime of wilful homicide. The jury retired, and after an absence of ten minutes, ' returned with a verdict declaring him not guilty as to both questions. M. Sallior was itnmediately set free by the Judge. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. (From the Northern Whig.) The following singular case came before the Castle bar Board of Poor-law Guardians a few days since : An old man applied for admission to the workhouse, whose appearance and manner, and style of speaking, denoted evidently that he had belonged to, or moved in, the ranks of respectability, before adverse circum stances had redueed him to his present distress. The Earl of Lucan—What is your name ? Applicant—My name, my Lord, is Michael Fitz gerald. I was born in the vicinity of this town, in the village of Minolla. I have moved through every phase of fortune; and, from having been once the possessor of wealth and opulence, I have come, by a sad vicissitude, brought on, indeed, not by my own conduct, but by the misconduct of others, down to the position which I at present occupy. The Earl of Lucan—lndeed, how was that ? Applicant—The incidents of my life are extraor dinary, my Lord, yet may be briefly told. In my youthful days, being desirous to travel and push my fortune in a foreign land, I left Ireland for the island of Madeira, bringing with me a cargo of such goods as I thought would be disposable, on remunerative terms. My wishes and expectations were not then disappointed. Change of scene and the new climate invigorated my sprits, and the enterprise in which I had embarked proved most profitable. Resolving to settle permanently in Madeira, I employed all my available capital in pursuing the trade which I had found so beneficial; and only a few years had elapsed, until the profits of my engagements so accumulated, as to leave me at length in possession of an immense fortune. The Governor of the island, whose acquaint ante I had the opportunity of making, advised me to turn my capital and attention to the cultivation of land, whereby agricultural produce could be provided internally, without being compelled, as was then the case, to import from America the provisions requisite to support the planters on the island. Well, my Lord, I assented to his proposal, but took the precau tion of making him enter into an agreement with me to indemnify me for any expense or casualties I should incur, by the grant of 75,0001. When the agreement was thus closed, I converted all the merchandise then in my warehouses into cash, as soon as a cheap and rapid sale permitted; and with ample funds I pro ceeded first to Ireland, and afterwards to England, to purchase all sorts of plants and seeds, and implements of husbandry. With a large cargo of these I returned to Madeira, and soon after began the culture of the fields, to a great extent, according to the terms of the Governor's treaty. Nothing could have gone on more auspiciously than our first agricultural essay ; and I am now enabled to boast that I was the first man who introduced into that island the cultivation of potatoes. But, my Lord, to be brief—the Governor was with drawn from the island, through the influence and intrigues of those persons who were deriving a profit able trade from the importation of provisions, and who were, consequently, averse to the proceedings I was engaged in. The result was, that I was com pelled to desist, after having all my own funds ex pended in the manner related, and without any further prospect of indemnification than the fulfilment of the Governor's agreement. To see myself justified, I went to Portugal. The Governor, who made the agreement with me, laid my claim before the King, and his Majesty was pleased to approve of it, and to direct that my claims should be liquidated along with those of other British claimants. Some delay having . taken place in my getting the compensation to which I was entitled, and which was thus approved of, I went to Mr. Ward (who was then Charge d'Affaires in Portugal), requiring of him to see me justified. Mr. Ward gave me only promises of compliance. It was publicly stated, some time ago, that large remittance of money had been sent over by the King of Portugal, for the purpose of compensating the British claimants. I wrote fre quently on the subject of my claim to the Duke of Wellington, but at length I received a note from his Grace, stating, that of the many letters of mine to which I had in my last communication referred, he bad received not a single letter; thus, it was apparent, that the conductors of the Foreign-office are the greatest robbers that ever lived. I am not aware that the suppression of my letters took plum in conse quence of the Post-office espionage of Sir James Graham ; but this much there is reason to suppose, that in the money remitted from Portugal, the Duke of Wellington made the first great gap—(Great laughter)—by applying an enormous portion of it to himself. I do not think that Sir Robert Peel would act thus ; he seems to be a well-meaning, honest man.—(Renewed laughter.) My principal object in coming here, at present, is to get the oppor tunity of making the injustice to which I have been subjected, public and notorious—so that it may, at length, reach the ears of the authorities, find induce them to grant me redress. If the maxim be true, that the people are best governed where the principle pre vails that an injury done to the meanest subject is an injury to the whole community, surely it applies to my case in an especial manner, and the public should insist, and the Government should determine, that the wrongs to which I have been so long subjected should, at length, give way to impartial justice, and to the payment to me of those moneys which were remitted from Portugal for my indemnification , according to my claim, as acknowledged by the King. The Earl of LueAN—With reference to your claims, the gentlemen of the press, who are now present, may assist you more than we can ; the pro vince of the Board of Guardians is merely to consider the propriety of your admission.
