BRIDGES, Esq. . _ The proposed line front Waterford to Kilkenny is 32 English miles in length. The total cost, including outlay fur stock, stations, &c., will not exceed 8,000/. per mile. It will be perceived that the line is intended to meet the pro. jected branch of the Great Western Railway from Gloucester to Fishguard (the South Wales line), and that it must necessarily command a great portion of the traffic from the West of England ; and, if extended to Dublin, will constitute Waterford one of the most important ports of the empire. Power will be taken for the further extension of the line to the Irish Metropolis, in the event of such a measure being deemed ad. visable. The port of Waterford can be entered at all times of the tide by vessels of 1,000 tons. The export trade of Waterford and the traffic between Waterford and Kilkenny is considerable, and is on the increase. The exports of Waterford in 1835, according to the Report of the Irish Railway Commissioners, amounted to the value of 1,821,2451., and the imports to 1,274,1541. At present the ex ports are represented by the local authorities to exceed two millions, and the imports one million and a half. At least one-third of the exports from Waterford may be pre sumed to pass through the county of Kilkenny, and this traffic would necessarily receive a great stimulus by the construction of a line of rapid communication with the interior of the country. The probability of a remunerative return from a railway opening up a communication between Waterford and Kilkenny, with a view to its future extension to Dublin, will be enhanced by the adoption of the economical principle upon which it has been determined to construct the line, which insures a reduction of at least 30 per cent. on the primary investment. The necessary plans and surveys, with all other preliminary ar rangements, will be ready, so as to apply to Parliament for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the ensuing session ; and inte rest at the rate of 41. per cent. will be allowed to subscribers on their deposits, u:.til the railway is completed. Subjoined is a statement of the present through traffic and pro. bable profit:— Coach traffic, four journeys a day, 40 passengers at 6s. 3,740 Car traffic, four jonrneys, six days in the week, 100 passengers, at 2s. Cid 9,900 Merchandise, 100,000 tons, cattle included, at ss. per ton 25,000 £32,640 Assuming an increase of only double the present traffic, we have 63,2801 ; showing a divisible profit, after deducting 50 per cent. for working expenses, 0(32,6401., or nearly 12 per cent. on the capital. No Subscriber will Ise responsible for more than the amount of his Share. The Prospectus and the form of application for Shares may bo had at the Offices of the Company, 6, Parliament-street, West minster, and 36, New Broad.street, London ; of H. Devereux, Esq., Kilkenny; Messrs. Elliott and Newport, Waterford ; Mr. Thomas Millar, Broker, Edinburgh ; Mr. I. R. Owen, Broker, Manchester; and the Company's Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION.

That an annual report be presented to Parliament, and periodical accounts published in the Gazette, speci fying the amount of Imperial notes or bills in circulation, the monthly and yearly averages, together with a return of the bullion and stock lodged in the Exchequer by each establishment, as well as a detailed statement of their assets and liabilities. IMPORTANT ECCLESIASTICAL MOVEMENT.—An important ecclesiastical movement, designed to separate or reject several ministers and churches, is at present in progress among the Scottish congregationalists ; and the result, so far as we can learn, has been the disavowal of fellowship or union, on the part of the four Congrega tional churches in Glasgow, with the churches and pastors of the same denomination inillamilton and Bells hill. A similar proceeding is also in progress towards the Congregational churches in Ardrossan, Cambuslang, and Bridgeton. The reason of separation, we under stand, is a difference of opinion on the doctrines of special divine influence, and of unconditional election, both of which are said to be denied by the churches at Hamilton, Belishill, &c.; and, on the other hand main tained by th e c h urc h es in Glasgow belonging to the Congregati ona l U n i on . W e learn, further, that the way in which this separation has been effected was by means of friendly letters between the churches differing, and that the entire correspondence, exhibiti ng an i nterest i ng feature of th e churchan polit y doubtless s ie Independents, w ill d shortly be publi s h e d, n afford ow A considerable scope for polemical di scuss i on.— Earl Fortescue has off ere d to makelB;and„o donation of books towards establishing th e contemPlatn:l literary and scientific institution at Barnstaple.

STILBEREORCE, held his Visitation on Monday last, at St. Saviour's Church, Southwark. The Charge which he delivered on this occasion was remarkable for the firmness of its tone, and the sound and rational reli gious spirit that pervaded it. There were no needless periphrases—no beatings about the bush—no jesuitical haltings between two sets of opinions. Unlike the Bishop of LONDON—who has been appropriately called the Sir ROBERT PEEL of the Church—in his notorious Charge of 1841, the Archdeacon did not deem it expedient to oscillate like a pendulum be tween High Church and Low Church; to curry favour with the former in one passage, and with the latter in another; to discuss essentials as if they were mere :trifles, and to raise trifles to the dignity of essentials. No such timid or evasive spirit was visible in Archdeacon WILBERFORCE'S Charge. He seemed to feel that his subject did not admit of it, and that it would only be degraded by such a shuf fling mode of treating it. Accordingly, nothing could be more perspicuous than his language, or more decided and straightforward than his views. We allude, more particularly, to his remarks on the subject of the Tractarian heresy, on which he expressed himself with a distinctness and cogency of reasoning that must have carried conviction to the understandings of all who heard him. The Arch deacon is clearly no Tractarian. The specious falla cies of these Divinity sophists—whose name, we are sorry to say, is Legion—have no attraction for him— have made no impression on his acute intellect. lie pierces at once through the shallow dis guise in which they clothe their Romanism ; tracks them through all their doublings ; and shows them, as they really are, insidious enemies of the Church under the pretext of being its best friends. " The causes which first separated our Church from Rome," observed the Venerable Archdeacon, " remain altogether unre moved ; those perilous corruptions of the highest truths, which forced our Reformers to come out of her, as for their lives, continue still within her, and disfigure her communion ; what, then, can we think of those, who being placed by PROVIDENCE within this branch of His holy Church, go over willingly to the blindness of those self-chosen errors ? Surely whatever may be their attainments or their zeal, we must think and speak of them as of men given over to a great delusion !" The ,venerable speaker then went on to trace the course of these Tractarian zealots. At first, no doubt, they had a distinct perception of the evils of Romanism, but other features of the system possessed attraction for them ; and by constantly dwelling on these with a sort of morbid feeling of admiration, they came by degrees to lose their clear apprehension of the errors which on a first view had so s t a rtl e d th em; th en t h ey b egan to think that after all they were not quite so bad, or THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.

The 3e remarks apply with peculiar force to the recent conduct of those ghostly Prelates, LOND ON and EXETER, who have notoriously distinguisi ted themselves by being " busy in circumstantials,' as, for instance, when the former in his famous Cl large of 1841—of which we have already made honc•urable mention— elaborately discussed the question of wax candles on the Communion-table, and whether tb s minister should bow to the east or west on leaving , the church ; and when the latter, in his judgment a n the Helston case, expatiated with equal empha'3 3 on the still THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

Private Boxos to be had at the Theatre, and at all the principal Lihrari% Unfortunate Spain seems destined to undergo now convulsions, and, to all appearance a, as fruitless as any that have taken place since the first invasion of the French during the reign of NAPOLf ON. The country now has been for nearly forty - ye ars in a constant state of turmoil ; any little trxide. that existed has been completely destroyed ; the energy of the people has been turned—not to the r ►rts of: civilisation, or commerce, or literature—but to. plets and conspira cies and intrigues ; and the mg )st lamentable fact in this dismal account is, that n of one man of energy, combining honesty and patri( ►ti;;m, has sprung up during that long period. An the revolutions which have broken out in England and France, some bright genius. —some man sur passing all his competitors, gre at as they were— came forth to vindicate th© ,hoe our of his country, and lay the foundation of a systi .m of liberty, or, at all events, of stable government. England and France never appeared to such Advantage, or were more respected and dreaded by foreign countries, than when they were torn by civil dissensions, and ap peared almost helpless against foreigi I aggression. What saved them ? The patriotism of the people— that love of country -which swipe' ises all other passions in energy and enthusiasm„ and that noble spirit of independence which •will brook no interference of strangers. Caomwic LL vindicated the majesty of the English nation, and. though regarded as an usurper, was courted by every Sovereign, even the most absolute, in the civilised NI 'orld. For years before BONAPARTE distinguished. hb nself, the French had set all their enemies at defiance ; raw troops, in spired with the love of country, marched almost to certain death—nothing was thougilt of but ,the inde pendence of their country; and, to tPaeir immortal honour, they not only expelled tl ieir - worthless nobi lity and clergy, but raade inroads on their meddling neighbours, and magnanimously as 9 erted the inde pendence of the French nation. What glorious struggles, too, the people ofi? the Nether lands made against the wire ole power of Spain ! They fought to the: death against slavery, and were finally victorious., and the house of Austria strove in vain against a 1 ndful of patriots who followed the banners of TELL, and established a pure Republic in the midst of despotic States. What a contrast, when we turn to Spai n• —once the most energetic and powerful kingdom in Europe ! There is scarcely a wreck left. She has ) lot one ship of the line fit for service—she has no m ercantile navy. Bankruptcy, dishonour, public swizif lling, conspira cies, and murders, are the only featiir es which distin guish this miserable - country. An' constitution, under the directions of French authorities, has been framed, and will be fully- completed, un less interrupted by some new 43, 3nspiracy—some new scheme for individual inter, ests at the ex pense of the wretched inhabitants --the victims of every regenerator and impostor. ZIII&BANO has raised the standard of revolt, but what can. bt . expected from a ruffian of his character, whose onl,r mode of punish ment is death, and who for his own individual inte rests would sacrifice the constitutio a of 1837, and sell himself to the first bidder. NARV &BZ is bad enough, but ZURBANO would be infinitely P worse, and even Don CARLOS himself, who ought t,o have some regard for the people, would be worse tk u t either. His Du- rango decrees mark his ferocious n &Sure, and altogether every leader that has yet appeared, , •with the exception of ESPARTERO, only exhibits the u.t ter degradation and corruption of the Spanish natic,n. We look to the contest without the slightest IP .)p e of consolation; and every friend of humanity can .only lament in despair the sufferings to which the 'IY .)vver classes, from all accounts the most remarkably in Europe, are sub jected by the worthless arms tocracy, the grasping priesthood, and the mercer►ul ,y officers and soldiers. Every year, nay, every in onth, some new out break takes place ; the unfortunate inhabitants are made the victims, their. property is pillaged, they are shot like beasts of pre: y, and there seems to be no end to their calamities. It ever any nation had a claim to the humane ermsideration of Christian States, Spain has the best :right to demand their aid ; and France and Englalbd, and the other great Powers, will suffer much. in the judgment of pos terity, if these horrible sec les are not put down by a universal combination in the cause of humanity. he Madrid Gazette of the 19th instant publishes a supplement, containing a dispatch from the military chief of the Logrono, in which he states that he came up with the band of Zurt BANO near Montenegro, and that his followers, on th.e approach of the QUEEN'S troops, threw down their arms and fled in all direc tions. ZURBANO and his two sons made their escape, with the intention, apparently, of crossing the Ebro, and seeking refuge in France. Tile Government continue to show great jealousy and suspicion of the numerous disbanded officers residing in Madrid and the 'provincial towns,. The G e nerals ESPINOSA, RAMIREZ, GRACES, &c.., have bee a ordered to quit the capital. All the officers h&ve been ordered to present themselves every week to the mili tary commandants of the towns 'where they reside, and not more than three of them :ixe to be "permitted to meet at the same time. These discontented officers are said to amount to nearly ten thousand. "Most of them," according to a Madrid letter which appears in a French Government paper, ." are destitute of the means of existence, and are disposed to join any party, whether Carlist, constitutional, or republican, pro vided they can procure bread. It is thus that almost all the bands of brigands that infest the roads and environs of Madrid are commanded by old officers. These bands, if a civil war were to break out in any part of Spain, would become factions, for they have arms and money." The Paris Moniteur, on the authority of a letter, says ZURBANO had entered Srtragossa and put the Governor to death, but the report is not entitled to credit. The QUEEN'S file was ct.lebrated on the 19th, when a grand levee was held at the Palace. The Bourse in consequence was closed on that day. th b e itt P e a rn ri e s s Sunday ie letter commented, from iso7uronnaisunrf offens with j° Otaheite, mmeuoefh which appeared in some of the London journals. The subject, h owever, hardly deserves further notice; and we should not have adverted to it again, but for an amusing, and at the same time, in some respects a very sensible article, in the Journal des Debats. That journal treats these exparte statements as they deserve. " In the dearth," it says, " which at present prevails in the domain of polemics, several journals Nava contrived to discover a new subject against England, and yesterday copied, with a great increase of intlignation, a letter from Otaheite, published by an English journal. We should ourselves have given this Methodist tirade if we had believed that it merited our doing so, or if we had discovered anything - n.ow in it. But, in truth, we do not consider ourselves obliged to pay a serious attention to all the epistolary fragments which we find every day in the vast catacombs of the English papers, and to which these journals themselves attach only a very secondary importance. In England, the THE SUN, LONAON, WEDNESDAY EVENING: ' principal object of the journals is to have news which the others have not, and thence it follows that they in general receive all the communications sent to them, without much caring what political signifi cation they may have. It is, we are inclined to think, to this unlimited custom of publicity, more than to any deliberate sentiment of malevolence, that must be attributed the insertion in an English journal of great circulation of the famous letters dated from the harbour of Tangiers. These letters, al though the whole affair concluded in a manner bur lesque enough by the confession and contrition of a chaplain, nevertheless possessed a certain importance, from the position of the persons to whom they had been in the first instance attributed, and the very awkward consequences which they might involve. But, in good faith, we have something else to do with our time, and with the attention of the public, than waste both in what an illustrious orator has called (perelles de sacristic. We do not judge it necessary to blow up the flame of discord between two great nations relative to the ill-humour of a missionary, cry ing out the abomination of desolation, because some French sailors danced on a Sunday with the savage ladies of the isle of Cythera. What is there in that so wonderful, or, we may say, so offensive ? Every one knows that a French Sunday is not, thank Heaven, like an English one ! The Methodists had taught the Ota heitans to observe the Sabbath in the English way—to be melancholy on the seventh day, and not to take any strong liquours unless perhaps such as they themselves sold them—and, behold ! they find all their economy disarranged by the introduction of more sociable and more tolerant habits ! What is there astonishing in their exaggerating their grievances, in their increas ing to an immoderate extent what they consider a stumbling-block of offence, and in accusing our sailors of giving to the gentle and simple daughters of the South Sea lessons in forbidden choregraphy ? We are well persuaded that these accusations are so many calumnies ; but it must be borne in mind that dancing, even of the noblest character, is in the eyes of zealous Protestants a monstrous desecration of the Sabbath. It is, therefore, natural for them to cry out a little. When their language is risible, it ought to be laughed at; when it is rude, to be pitied; and when well-founded attended to; but in no case do we think that there is sufficient cause in their complaints to recal ambassadors, or to excite sentiments of ani mosity between two nations who look on each other seriously. We are well convinced besides that, on this point, as on many others, the Opposition journals make much more noise than they think there is harm, and that if they are going to seek for war at Otaheite, it is, as M. DE LAMARTINE very justly observed, what they will not find." The Courrier Francais contradicts in these words a paragraph, which we copied yesterday from the Prcsse, relative to the return of Admiral Durscrer THOUARB : _ " The Ministry was accused of having put the crown ing point to its baseness by recalling Admiral Dupetit- Thouars ; it was a calumny. In place of recalling him, the Ministry forbids him to return. It is only too just. The prompt return of M. Dupetit Thouars would pro bably excite public indignation more keenly ; and if his appeara nce co i nc id e d w i th t h e s i tt i ng o f t h e Chambers, who knows what part th e Opposition mi g ht d raw f rom it against the Ministry ? M. Guizot has come to the conclusion that a second voyage of circumnavigation should be prescribed to the Admiral, in the interest of the Cabinet. The Admiral will be permitted to return home when the Otaheite affair is forgotten, dead, buried. M. de Mackau, it is said, has gone further. His solici tude for his brethren in arms, and his zeal for his com rades, are well known. He desired to charge M. Du petit Thouars to make a voyage of discovery to one of the Poles, to seek for unknown lands, or even to at tempt the north-west passage from America. Never did a smaller matter more completely dishonour a Ministry! All the falsehoods which it heaped together to justify its renunciation of the sovereignty of Otaheite, and the disavowal of M. Dupetit Thouars, are evident ; the Moniteur proves it. The Admiral's Aide-de-camp was kept in a sort of sequestration, when he arrived in France at an inopportune moment ; the news from Otaheite was kept back from the public until information arrived from other sources ; the country, and the families of persons out at Otaheite, were allowed to remain in the utmost uneasiness relative to the combats engaged in with the natives ; and now, behold ! the officer who was disavowed is not permitted to repair to France, but is kept under arrest on board his frigate, during a fresh voyage of great length ! An article was wanting to the penal code of the Ministry which invented disavowal and Name—it is circumnavigation." These papers furnish no additional information re specting the fate of ZURBANO, but publish extracts from Bayonne papers, containing both a proclamation to the people, and an address to his followers after having entered Najera. They are, however, very contemptible productions. We fear there is too much truth in the following character of this man, as given by the Presse : " Zurbano unites in himself some of the good qualities and all the defects of those Guerilleros who, from the epoch of the invasion until the treaty of Vergara, covered themselves with glory in the war of independence, and with blood in the civil war. Ile is in the highest degree , a man of stratagem, audacity, ferocity, and indefatigabi lity ; a compound of the fox, the boar, and the tiger, a dangerous friend, a redoubtable enemy. Before he made himself the terror of Catalonia, he was the butcher of the Carlists, and if Narvaez had not arrested him at Tor rejon, ho would not have treated the Progressistos in 1843 better than he treated the Moderados at Vittoria and Bilboa in 1841. The proverb says—honours change manners, but Zurbano gives the lie to the adage. Ile has preserved, under the uniform of a Lieutenant- General, his habits of a smuggler ; always ready to give a blow with his fist or a shot from his musket, always acting with brutality, and speaking in language of the grossest insult. In proof of this, the case of M. Laserna, the political chief of Bilboa, may be adduced. He treated him in 1841 as he had all his life treated the officers of the Customs who opposed his contraband practices. All the endeavours of the Government have been in vain ; nothing can appease the instincts of this sanguinary sityforof Zurbano, and that bein g in action, w hi c h i s t h e characteristi c g ces con tinual excitement of ferocity w hi ch urges him into adven tures which promise him th e gratification of insatiable desires do not, however, exc l ude him from having great distinguishing gui T sh h i e n ne subtlety and much prudence. Danger never stops him, but ho never seeks it without a motive. At the same time, it is not very easy, we repeat, to assign any serious motive fur his last coup-de-m a i n ."

He had sufficient strength to go up stairs again, and did not complain of what had happened until the next morning, when witness was called to him.

(sietings ifmn . PAisAatWestminster, before the LORD IITET:BARON.) TUE ATTORNZGENERAL V. TOPLIS. This was an information filed by the Attorney- General against the defendant, for harbouring and con cealing, and having in his possession a quantity of tobacco, which had not paid the duty. The olicitor-General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde, conducted the case for the Crown ; Mr. Hwnfrey and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the defendant. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L said, the circumstances of this ease were very short. The defendant carried on the business of a tobacco manufacturer in Bermondsey street, Surrey. About three o'clock on the morning of Dec. 3, 1843, an officer of the Customs, named Jordan, in consequence of information he had received, proceeded to watch the premises of the defendant. He planted him self uneer one of the arches of the Greenwich Railway, and had not been standing there long before be observed i man coming from a court or alley adjacent, with a brown paper parcel on his shoulder, which he took to the defendinit's house. The door having been opened, he went in, left the parcel, and returned. A boy followed soon after, carrying a small parcel, which he disposed of in the same way. The man who was seen first returned with a third parcel, which, like the former, was left at the house of the defendant. The officer then proceeded in search of a policeman, and not being able to find one, he called up another officer in the Customs to assist him. The man and the boy escaped, but Jordan succeeded in seizing a parcel, which was found to contain a quantity of pressed tobacco. On entering the premises he found the defendant partly dressed, standing on the stairs ; and, on seeing him, he ran out of sight. To bacco was seized on the premises to the amount of 1,906 lbs., which was appraised at 3471. 14s. An in formation was then laid for the purpose of condemning the tobacco, and on the trial a verdict was given for the Crown, and judgment entered on that ver dict. This judgment was conclusive evidence that the tobacco was liable to seizure. The only question which the jury had to decide on that occasion was, whether the defendant harboured and con cealed the tobacco, knowing that it had not paid the duty. Witnesses were then called and examined on behalf of the Crown, after which, Mr. IlviuntEr, for defendant, said he would not call into question the evidence just adduced, but he thought he might fairly call upon the jury to deduct 600 lbs., on which duty had been paid. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied, saying he could not conceive how the jury could yield to the request of his Learned Friend, after the evidence had been so strongly unfavourable to the point on which he rested. His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence briefly, The jury found a verdict for the Crown, with damages in the single value of 3471. 17s.—Verdict entered accord ingly. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) WEBB V. BEVAN AND OTHERS. The plaintiff is a livery-stable keeper in Gray's Inn lane, and brings this action of trespass under the follow ing somewhat singular circumstances :—The defendant, Mr. Bevan, a barrister, had placed a horse at livery in the stables of Mrs. Savage, in Fetter-lane, for the pur pose of being taken by some trusty person in her service to be sold at - Tattersall's. This commission was in the first instance entrusted to one of Mrs. Savage's ostlers, named Charles Stocking ; but from something that transpired respecting that person, his mistress strictly forbad him to take the horse away. However, he did so ; but instead of taking him to Tattersall's he sold it f)r 10/. to Mr. Webb, the plaintiff, to whose possession it was traced. The defendant Mr. Bevan, accompanied by the other defendants, of whom three were police constables, proceeded to Mr. Webb's stables, and recog nising his horse, demanded it to be restored to him. The plaintiff refused, insisting that he had fairly purchased it from a person authorised by the defendant. He then locked the stable-door, which the defendants broke open, and took the horse away. Mr. WILKINS (with whom was Mr. Lush), for the plaintiff, contended upon these facts that the first autho r►tyy to Stocking to take the horse to Tattersall's was sufficient to make good the purchase by the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, for the defendant Mr. Bevan, Mr. Sergeant Channell, for another defendant, and Mr. Sergeant Byles, for the constables (who suffered judg ment to go by default), addressed the jury at some length, complaining that all who were present with Mr. Bevan were made defendants, and he was deprived of their testimony, and contending that upon his own case the plaintiff was entitled to no damages, or at most to a very small amount. The evidence for the defence went to prove the owner ship in Mr. Bevan, and the unlawful removal of the horse (or stealing) by Stocking. (The case had not concluded when we went to press.) APPEAL COURT, DOCTORS' COM MONS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court sat to-day for the purpose of hearing ap• p9als,_ of which but a compar a ti ve ly sma ll num b er were on the list. The only case of the slightest general interest which was heard was an application for a monition to issue against John Doricourt Taylor, whose case has already appeared in this paper, for having failed to comply with certain orders of the Court. The case had been heard some time ago, when the Court adjudged that Mr. Taylor should pay a stated sum into Court within fifteen days from the 13th of this month. This term having expired to-day, the process of Court was now sought. In support of the application, affidavits were put into Court and read, which stated that Mr. Taylor bad left England, and was out of her Ma jesty's dominions, and that any further delay in the is suing of the monition would be attended with a frustra tion of the order and intention of the Court. The COURT held that it would be rather precipitate to issue such a process on the very day when the - order of the Judge was only to expire, and consequently deferred issuing the monition until the next day appointed for the sitting of the Court. UNION-HALL. —(THIS DAY.) George Seymour, a fine tall young fellow, was charged on his own confession, with being a deserter from the 49th Regiment of Foot. 7 gairti A policeman stated that the prisoner walked into the station-house the preceding night, and saying he was a deserter from the above regiment, added that he came there to give himself into custody. Mr. Col - Tin:main asked him why,he deserted; and his reply was that when with the regiment he got drunk and remained from barracks so long that he did not like to go back, and came up to London. He added that he was now most anxious to join his regiment. Mr. COTTINGLIAM said the prisoner had committed a serious offence against the articles of war, and asked him if it was likely he would get punished ? The prisoner said that he was certain he would not be flogged, that he would get a few days sharp drilling, and a little soli tary confinement in the black hole. Mr. CorrINGHAm said that his present condition was attributable to liquor, and advised him:in future to ab stain from it. The Magistrate added that it was his duty to commit him to gaol until the authorities at the War-office were apprised of his being in custody. The:deserter was then sent to prison. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY THE LATE DOUBLE SUICIDE AT MILE-END. INQUEST ON THE BODIES.—(THIS DAY.) This forenoon, at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Baker' the Coroner for East Middlesex, commenced an inquiry at the Fox Tavern, Rupel-street, Mile-end, respecting the melancholy deaths of Charles William Duckett, aged 21, and. Elizabeth Williams, aged 27, who com mitted self-destruction on the night of Sunday last, in the arms of each other, from the effects of prussic acid. The jury having been duly sworn in, they proceeded to view the remains of the unfortunate couple, which laid in about the same state as when the shocking occurrence was discovered, both bodies being stretched on the end of the bed. That of the female was rather pleasingly attired, having on a black silk dress, dark rich shawl, her hair done up in ringlets, and otherwise neatly clad ; her bonnet was off, lying behind her head on the bed, as if it had fallen there at the moment of her taking the deadly draught. The body of the young man was also very well dressed, having on a black frock -coat, light waistcoat, with a black jatin stock, fastened by a pin, and a pair of dark trousers. Both countenances appeared quiteplacid. On the return of the jury the evidence was gone into. The principal facts connected with the sad affair ad duced before the Coroner, were almost the same as those that have already appeared in this journal. The de ceased, Duckett, was, as has been before stated, most fervently attached to the young woman. On Sunday evening, at half-past five o'clock, he proceeded to her mother's residence, and took her out for the purpose of going to church. At this period it is almost certain that they had determined upon committing suicide, for they must have returned to his own home, and having entered unknown to his family, and secured themselves in his bed-room, took the deadly draught, and were dis covered, as has already been described. Dr. Letheby, the surgeon at the London Hospital, proved that they had died from the eft'ects of the acid. As regard their state of mind, it appeared that the deceased for some time past had been out of employment, and been rather in a desponding state of mind, and thinking his prospects respecting his union with the deceased were blighted, it had affected him so much as to induce him, who no doubt persuaded the unfortunate girl, to commit self-des truction. The letters spoken of in another part of this journal were read by the constable, and both from their execu tion and the extraordinary nature of the language, ex cited considerable interest. The inquiry was proceeding when we went to press, FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—Yesterday the King, after at tending Divine service in the chapel of the palace, pre sided in a Council of Ministers, and gave audiences to the Prussian Minister, to the Papal Nuncio, and other per sons.

The steamers which it shall employ in this service are to be exempt from the duties of tonnage and navigation in the British ports. We also observe that provision is made for the contin gency, if the British Government should think fit, at some future time, to transmit the India mail through our territory.

(Before Lord Chief Justice DExmAN.) His Lordship entered the Court and took his seat at 10 o'clock. THE SLAVE TRADE ON THE COAST OF AFRICA. Mr. PRENDERGAST and Mr. CLARESON appeared to make an application on the part of Captain Thomas Jennings, late of the Augusta, who was charged with slave trading on the Coast of Africa. Mr. PRENDERGAST prayed that his Lordship would enter at once upon the trial this session, or at least fix a time for it, as Mr. Jennings's character and prospects were greatly injured while the present charge of felony was kept suspended over his head. The injury was the greater, as that gentleman solemnly protested that the accusation was a most unfounded one. Mr. PAYNE opposed the application upon an affidavit of Sir George Stevens, which was read to the Court. It would be quite impossible to proceed with the trial until the presence of Captain Hill, who was at present in com mand at the Bolam River, could be had in this country. That would, at the lowest computation, involve a delay of six months, and on that ground he moved that the application be dismissed, and a postponement granted for that time. Lord DENMAN said that Captain Jennings bad already urged a plea in another Court, that he had been already tried for this, offence, which plea had been dismissed. Had it, however, been held good, there would have been no necessity for Captain Hill's evidence in the case; but now that officer's evidence was indispensable. He would, therefore, order that th e t r i a l ta k e place in the coming January Sessions. Three young men, labourers, named William Sadd, Henry Clow, and George H enr y V aug h an, were indicted for feloniously assaulting John Augustus Lock, with in tent to murder him. A second count charged them with a common assault. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Doane appeared for the prose. cution ; Mr. Prendergast for the prisoner Sadd, Mr. Payne for Clow, and Mr. Ballantine for Vaughan. The person assaulted, John Augustus Locke, a sworn constable at Nicholson's wharf, had taken a drunken person into custody for obstructing the business there, and while conveying him to the station-house, he was surrounded by a mob, among which the prisoners were conspicuous who committed the assault complained of, and released the prisoner. They were at a subsequent period taken into custody. The prisoners were this day tried for the common assault only. Evidence having been given, and the counsel for the prisoners having severally addressed the jury, Lord DENMAN summed up, and the jury, after con sulting together, returned a verdict of Guilty against Henry Clow, but recommended him to mercy on account of previous good character, and Acquitted the other two. His LORDSHIP then said that the prisoner had been eon victed of a brutal and cowardly assault, but in considera tion of the good character he had received, and the recom mendation of the jury, the punishment inflicted would be lighter than the crime deserved. The sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months, and at the end of that period enter into his own recognizances in 50/. to keep the peace for two years. The additional charges upon the calendar since last Monday are twenty-seven, consisting principally of lar cenies from houses and from the person. No charges of a particularly heavy character are added. - CLERK_ENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Two men named Bryant, and one named Lynch, were charged with lighting a fire in an uninhabited house, the property of the Globe Insurance-office. Lynch was further charged with violently assaulting police-constable Moss, G 195, and police-sergeant G 3. It appeared from the evidence that about ten weeks ago an extensive warehouse was bnrned down in Back hill, Clerkenwell. It was insured in the Globe Insurance office, and is now in process of re-erection by that esta blishment. Last night, Moss being on duty in Back hill, saw a fire on the first floor of the warehouse, and on climbing up to the first floor, saw a large fire in the room immediately over one of the large wooden beams, and all the chips and shavings in the neighbourhood of it. The inhabitants of the adjoining houses were startled out of sleep by the flames and smoke. Moss sprung his rattle, obtained assistance, and extinguished the fire. There was neither grate nor hearthstone in the room, and there can be no doubt but for the timely arrival of the constable, the whole premises would have been consumed. The men were under the influence of liquor, and Lynch kicked the constables so violently that Moss was almost disabled, and sergeant G 3 much hurt. Lynch could not be removed to the station-house until his arms and legs were fettered. The two Bryants were in default of fine sentenced to ten days' imprisonment, and Lynch to three weeks.
