Times. And, we believe, we are safe in saying, that the negotiations have not, in fact, advanced so far. The course which undoubtedly the Govern ment would wish to be taken, because the safest, per haps the only safe course for India, would be for the Directors to rescind their late " indiscreet " resolution, and spare our Indian empire the risk of a violent and abrupt interference with the Executive Government, leaving other matters for future arrangement. The guess of the Times is not, however, a bad one, supposing it a guess, though it seems to us to be certainly premature. Sir Henry' Hardinge is a man, whose experience and talents—we may call talents like his, marked by such intuitive promptitude, even by the higher name of genius—would ensure the good go vernment of any country committed to his charge, and besides this he has in an eminent degree en joyed the instruction and possessed the confidence of the highest of all authorities upon questions of Indian Government, and a very high authority, too, upon all questions of civil and military government — the Duke of Wellington. When the time for naming a successor to Lord Ellenborough shall have arrived, we know of no one more like than Sir Henry Hardinge to be selected ; but we must still hold to the hope, that the matter has not yet proceeded so far, and that there is still left to the Directors a locus of re-considering " the recal." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. GLOBE. —The Doke of Richmond, as head of the Agricultural Protectionists, has taken the field against the Chancellor of the Exchequer. His Grace had placed on the notice-book of the House of Lords, a motion against the proposed repeal of the duty on foreign wool, which form a part of the financial scheme of the year, as explained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday evening. The motion of the Noble Duke was to have been brought on last evening ' • but, in consequence of the indis position of Lord Ripon, it was first postponed to Tuesday, and last evening was further post- Polled to Thursday, next. The determined hostility manifested by the agricultural monopolists to the pro posed repeal of the' wool duties, is as impolitic as it is unjust. The Chancellor of the Exchequer accompanies his proposed relief to the manufacturer with a posi tive boon to the English wool-grower. The former would be relieved by the abolition of the duty of one penny per lb. on the importation of foreign wool ; the latter by the removal of one shilling per cwt. on British wool exported. The aggregate annual amount of the proposed reduction, as estimated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is 100,0001. The prospect of an early attainment of an object for which the woollen manufacturers have earnestly pleaded with successive Governments, and have looked forward with earnest hope, is again beclouded with fear of disappoint ment. The House of Lords is the stronghold of mono poly. The House of Commons, as at present consti tuted, is also avowedly opposed to any legislative con cessions to the manufacturers, in matters which seem to trench upon the principle of protection to the landed in terests. The Duke of Richmond's threatened resistance is therefore regarded by the interests which the repeal of the wool duty would largely benefit, as an ill omen. They fear that the old Adam of corruption in the two Houses will prove too strong for the newly-formed pur,pose of the Government to take a step in commercial policy in conformity with right principles. The York shire manufacturers are on the alert,—alarmed by a oommon sense of danger, and encouraged by hope that a combined and general demonstration will keep the Government firm to the purpose it has an nounced of an " immediate and total repeal" of the wool duties. Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford, Halifax, and other large towns in the western division of York shire, have taken the lead ; public meetings have been held, and earnest representations have been made both to individual Peers, and also to Ministers, on the subject. The postponement of the Duke of Richmond's motion will afford time for more effective and extensive prepara tions for strengthening the hands of Ministers, and thus enable them to resist the threatened attack upon the best feature in their financial scheme for the coming year. The Leeds Mercury of to day furnishes, in a tabular form, a. statement of facts, derived from official re turns, of the injurious effects of the duty of 6d. per pound on foreign wool, imposed in 1819, and repealed in 1824. These injurious effects were not confined to the manufacturers. The wool-growers of England and 1 Scotland, for whose special advantage the duty was im posed, participated largely in the injurious influences of the " protection" thus furnished. The reduction of the impost greatly relieved these interests from the incubus. The British wool-growers felt the folly of their former eiamour for protection against the foreign grower; for the .price of their produce was reduced by the influence of protection more than one-half. The Duke of Rich mond, it seems, was impervious to instruction, though en forced by experience, that most powerful of teachers. He actually endeavoured in 1828 to obtain a re-imposition of the duty of Gd. per lb. on wool of foreign growth ! The Government of that day had sufficient discernment to see the folly of the effort, and refused to retrace their steps for his gratification. The Duke of Richmond, and those who coincide with him in this attempt to scare the Government from its purpose with reference to the removal of the wool duties, seem to be blinded by selfishness. They are provoking a reaction, against which, strong as they may deem their entrenchments, they will find them. selves unable to stand. Had the Duke of Richmond, observes our Contemporary, " wished to relieve the agri culturists of a tax, his conduct would have admitted of defence; but to insist on fastening a tax upon trade be cause he ignorantly thinks that it does or may tell in favour of the agriculturists, is outrageous." Does the Noble Duke deem the present a favourable opportunity for carrying out his threat against Sir Robert Peel? Is this repeal of ld. per lb. on foreign wool— accompanied as it is by the removal of Is. per cwt. on the exportation of British wool—regarded as so serious an innovation on the principle of protection to British agriculture, as to call for the immediate fulfilment of his Grace's memorable warning to Sir Robert Peel from his place in the House of Lords:—" Let him mind what he is about: the landed interests placed him where he is; and they oan undo that which they have done!" GLOBE.—Another of those instances in which party politics are permitted to interfere with the removal of acknowledged existing evils was afforded last night in the Rouse of Lords. Lord Campbell some 'time since intro duced a Bill for their Lordships' consideration, the object of which was to allow persons convicted of felony or misdemeanor, who appealed from the decision of the Court by which they had been tried, on errors assigned on the record, to the House of Lords as the court of final appeal, to remain at large on bail until the question as to the legality of the conviction should be finally decided. The necessity of such a measure was not denied. The Lord Chancellor himself, who succeeded in inducing (heir Lordships to • reject the Bill, admitted the grievance which the existing state of the law inflicts ,on such parties. It ought to be removed; but not just yet. Is the reason asked? It is at hand. O'Connell, And his co-defendants in the proceedings now pending in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, might be preserved from imprisonment, pending the argument on a writ of error, if the Bill should be allowed to pass. The law is to remain in a ridiculous, absurd, and inequitable state, in order that a political opponent may be subjected to imprisonment on a conviction which may be declared illegal. This Lord Lyndhurst was compelled to admit was the real ground of his opposition to the Bill. Yet this reason a majority of the House of Lords deemed sufficient ; And acting, as usual in such matters, under the advice of the :Noble Lords on the Woolsack, they threw out the Nil. The Marquis of Clanricarde " repeated that the Noble and Learned Lord's opposition to the Bill was founded on the circumstance that, if the Bill passed, they would not be able wrongfully to imprison certain parties now under trial in Ireland. He would leave their Lordships to judge whether this was a proper spirit with which to view Acts of Parliament relating to affairs in Ire land. The Noble and Learned Lord could not deny that the effect of the Bill was, as far as it went, to improve the law, and if injustice was done under the existing law, were they to reject this Bill, which amended that law, because it might lead to some particular result in an individual case ?" STANDARD.—Lord Campbell's Bill, in aid of the dilatory proceedings of the Irish convicted conspirators, was onTh ursday rejected in the House of Lords without a division. The mo that for referring the Bill to Committee (the stage in which it met its rate) gave rise to a highly interesting debate. Before referring particularly to that debate, let us offer a remark upon its general tenor. The supporters of the Bill relied upon the universal feeling of the country as to the defective state of the law *with regard to the power of ap pealing in criminal cases. The opponents of the measure, freely admitting the defective state of the law in the particular ;described, objected to the Bill before the House, as 'being subject to suspicion, from being brought in to meet a special case, and more confidently ob jected to it as not supplying the required remedy. This ground of opposition, ii,' supported in the matter of fact, is surely sufficient. We may admit an evil, doubtless, without being bound to accept everything that is offered in the shape of a remedy, and we are entitled to examin e the nos t r um tendered with same j ea l ousy, when we have reason to suppose, either from the quality of the remedy itself, or from same other circumstances that it is offered with a view to private advantage, and not to the public good. Now, in the case of Lord Campbell's Bill, the evil to be remedied is not disputed. It is acknow ledged on all sides that our criminal jurisprudence is greatly defective in not providing an appellate jurisdiction, extend ing to all classes of convictions, and extending to the , merits as well as to the technicality of the original 'trial and conviction. A writ of error is practically attainable iii cases of misdemeanor only; but in these cases , It is, considering Its use as a means of delay, perhaps too easily attainable (for whatever' be the law, it is in practice eonsidered due ex debito justitiw). In cases of felony it is scarcely ever asked for, because there is little hope - of its being ever granted ; and neither in cases of mis demeanor nor felony can the coi\rt of appeal, upon a writ of error, take into consideration the merits of the case,. th et is, the justice or injustice of a conviction, or anything bey Ind a mere technicality. A writ of error is also an ex pensive process, and always must remain such; and Lord Campi.'sell's proposition, if it would not make the process more e, tpensive, would by another means (the demand, of heavy flail) limit the benefit of his remedy to the richer class of kupellants. What we have said of the inadequacy of the ren'sedy by writ of error, may be applied to the remecry by motion for new trial. It does not extend to felonies, and ft i touches thLI merits only in the case where the judge misdirects POLICE INTELLIGENCE. the j ury i ? y• miastating law or. evidence, or where the jury !ngs against the judge's charge—things that, to a. super- (SATURDAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY, May 4. The LORD CHANCELLOR took appeals to-day, none of which possessed any points of interest, except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT May 4. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir JAMES WIGRA3I.) His Honour, having disposed of the unopposed petitions and short causes set down in the paper, proceeded to hear a cause of Little v. Greville, a case which has often been before the Court, and which now came before it on further directions and costs. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH, May 4. (Sittings in Banco.) PARTRIDGE V. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The plaintiff, Partridge, had given to a broker named Wakefield, a power of attorney to receive his dividends ; according to the custom of the Bank they delivered to Wake field on the 6th April certain dividend warrants for the re ceipt of Partridge's dividends. These warrants became pay able on the Bth according to custom. On the 7th, Wake field lodged these dividend warrants with Ladbrokes, the bankers, as a security. Wakefield failed on the 7th, and Ladbroke claimed a lien upon these. dividend warrants, and refused to deliver them to Partridge, who brought his action against the Bank of England. The case was tried at Guild ball, before Lord Denman, and the Jury found for plaintiff. A motion was made for a new trial, and the point for the decision of the Court was, whether dividend warrants deli vered under these circumstances could be considered as nego tiable instruments. The case came on this morning, and the arguments were entirely of a technical character. BAIL COURT, May 4. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) THE QUEEN V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF BANGOR. On a former occasion Mr. Jervis, Q.C., had applied to this Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Bangor, requiring them to pay a sum of 2001. and upwards, the cost of a survey of the parish made by a Mr. Philips of Coventry, by direction of the guardians of the poor, acting under the authority of the Poor-law Commissioners. The application was made under the 6th and 7th William IV., c. 96, s. 3, which empowers the Commissioners of the poor law to direct the parochial officers to make a rate, or other provision, for the purposes of paying the costs, or any portion of the costs, of any survey they may have directed to be made. Mr. Jervis mentioned the subject again to-day, and argued it at some length ; but the discussion was of a 'wholly technical character. Ultimately ➢ir. Justice Coleridge di rected that a mandamus should issue. THE LORD MAYOR'S COURT. Mr. ANDERSON moved fora rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directed to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London requiring them to admit Mr. D. W. Wire, an attorney, in the Lord Mayor's Court, he being already admitted an attorney of a superior Court. The application was exactly similar to the one made yesterday on behalf of Mr. W. H. Ashurst, and his Lord ship immediately granted the application. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 4. (Sittings in Banco.) No ease of the least interest came before this Court this morning. The arguments in the case of Davis v. Lowndes were resumed, but they were altogether of a dry legal description. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 4. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day. CATHERWOOD V. CASLON. This case, which stood over for argument from the last special paper day, was resumed, at the sitting of the Court. It was an action for criminal conversation, which had been tried before Lord Abinger in Hilary Term, 1842, when a verdict was had for the plaintiff. The lady is the daughter of Mr. Abbott, the English consul at Beyrout, in Syria, and was married to the plaintiff at that place, in the presence of her father and several friends, by an American missionary. The defendant is the son of the well-known type-founder, and became acquainted with the plaintiff's wife at the house of the plaintiff's mother. An intimacy sprung up between the parties, which led to the subject of the action at law. A question as to the legality of the plaintiff's marriage with the lady had been raised, inas much as it had been alleged on the part of the defendant, that the American missionary who had celebrated the mar riage was not in holy orders. The point was reserved for argument, and _ , _ _ _ _ _ Mr. 13AitsTow was now heard on the part of the plaintiff. The Learned Gentleman admitted for the purpose of his argu ment, that the missionary was not in holy orders, and then contended that the marriage might not be held to be valid as against a claimant in right, yet it was so as against a wrong doer. Mr. OGLE was heard on the other side. The Court took time to consider the case. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, May 4. (Sittings at Nisi Peius.) PRICE V, LUND. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for certain injuries sustained by a phaeton, belonging to the plaintiff, who is a clergyman, which he contended was caused by a cart, driven carelessly and negligently on the 6th of May, 1843, by the defendant, who was a baker, but is now confined in Whitecross-street Prison. The accident occurred on the road leading to Finchley-common, in the vicinity of which the plaintiff resides. The defence set up was that the plaintiff was driving on the wrong side of the road. This view of the case was supported by the testimony of five witnesses, whilst one stated that the defendant was driving on the right side. The damage was stated not to exceed 31. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COIVSISTORY COURT, May 4. LORD DYSART V. LADY DYSART. This case came on for hearing on Saturday, before Dr. Lushington, and the arguments, no doubt, must occupy some days longer. Lord Dysart sues his wife for restitution of conjugal rights. Lady Dysart pleads cruelty in many forms as a reason why she ought not to be compelled to return to cohabitation. The libels on both sides are voluminous, and set forth the complaints of the several parties. They were married in 1819, and lived together, with intermissions, until 1837. The elle gations of Lady Dysart plead a variety of circumstances in proof of cruelty; that though at first the husband had 3,000/. a year, and when he came to his title 30,0001. a year, he lived in a manner not suited to their rank ; that his residences, in more than one instance, were almost without furniture ; that in one house there was no bedstead, her Ladyship being compelled to sleep upon a mattress upon the floor. The pro visions were served out by his Lordship, and the Earl and a boy servant had on various occa sions, washed the clothes. There were many items, such as these; and in some cases extreme violence is asserted to have been used by his Lordship towards his wife. In replication, Lord Dysart denies those charges, and asserts that he was anxious for retirement, that the conduct of his wife had compelled him occasionally to restrain her, and t hat the evidence in support of the charges was sustained principally by one witness. The Counsel for Lord Dy sart had not yet been heard; but, in opening, they stated that the husband was compelled to adopt the course he !tad done in order to protect himself from debts con tracted by the wife. During the whole of the day the junior counsel was heard for her Ladyship against being compelled to return to cohabitation, and the evidence of the witness in support of her suit was commented upon at very considerable length, and with a small portion of acrimony. In consequence of the length to which the case is likely to extend, and as the other side has not yet been heard, the charges against Lord Dysart being all denied, time must be given for the case to proceed to its termination. THE - SUN, LOMDON, minutes and four seconds too late, and I was obliged to make the demand. Brown—My Lord, the landlord wants to get rid of her, for she is a bad 'un. Complainant—l refer you to the respectable gentle men, my Lord, who have employed me for years for my character. I had paid my landlady four shillings but the night before, and I never expected such cruel treat ment. The LORD MAYOR —This broker has acted with great inhumanity to you, and I very much regret that I cannot punish him upon this charge. However, I think I can secure you from the apprehension of any violence. I call upon you, defendant, to find bail to keep the peace towards this poor woman for twelve months. Defendant—Find bail for what ! The LORD MAYOR —For having threatened the com plainant; and if you do not find bail you shall go to prison.—(Laughter.) his Lordship then gave ss. 6d. to the complainant to relieve her, and the advance of rent for a week, at the end of which he desired she would remove to some place in which there was no such inhu manity existing. Robert Henry Drover, a young man who was stated to be the partner of Dorey, the unfortunate husband of Mrs. Dorey, who is now undergoing her sentence of two years' imprisonment in the Giltspur-street Compter, as one of the accomplices of Barber in the will forgeries, was charged with having assaulted the servants of Mr. Martin, of No. 38, Gutter lane, Choapside, Manchester warehouseman. The defendant was apparently in a state of great ex citement. Mr. Martin stated that having heard a scuffle below in the warehouse, he went down and saw the place in a state of the greatest confusion, of which it was quite evident the prisoner was the author,for he was struggling with and striking one of the establishment. It was ne cessary to place the defendant in the custody of an officer of police to prevent a further breach of the peace. James B. Rogers, warehouseman to Mr. Martin, stated that the defendant entered the shop for the purpose of inspecting some goods, and selected some, which were made up in a parcel for him. The invoice was at the same time made out, but the defendant wished the arti cles to be put down to the credit of the house. This the witness refused to agree to. He said he expected the money to be paid down, and that the defendant could not have the goods without immediate payment. The defendant's house had an account with the firm, and the defendant, upon being told that Mr. Martin did not wish to extend the credit of the house, seized the parcel and wanted to take it away with him, but the witness and other people belonging to the prosecutor, resisted the attempt, and the defendant then proceeded to blows. The defendant said that having kept an account at the prosecutor's warehouse, he went thither to get some goods, which appeared to be very cheap, and he took them upon cash terms, which signified one month's credit. The warehouseman snatched the parcel out of his hand, although he offered to give him a cheque in the course of the day:fox the amount, and then a sort of dis agreeable encounter took place. The Loan MAYOR said that the attempt to take away a parcel of goods which it was intended should be paid for, might be subject to a very awkward sort of con struction, and actually become a subject of more se rious investigation. The defendantwas then held to bail. GUILDHALL. A few weeks ago two summonses were granted by the magittrates of this Court, at the instigation of Birch, the coraifii informer, calling upon two women of the name of Roberts and King, who kept houses of ill-fame in Ship-yard and Chancery-lane, to make their ap pearance for having sold exciseable liquors on their respective premises, without being provided with a duly authorised license to do so. For a length of time the hearing of the cases were adjourned at the request of the party who laid the information, until it came to the ears of Roe, the officer of this Court, that they were not likely ever to come on, as Birch had compounded with the defendants to forego the prosecution, on the pay ment of 51, which had been made. Roe immediately made his suspicions known to the sitting magistrate, Nlr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., who ordered that the case should be called on for hearing as last Saturday, and which was accordingly done. The defendants were not present, but Birch was, and assured the Bench that he should be ready to go into the cases at a future day if the Alderman adjourned the hearing. Roe then in• formed the magistrate that it would be a complete waste o' time to again adjourn the investigation, and which fact the complainant very well knew. He could assure the Alderman that there was a nest of informers who frequented the City of London, and were in the habit of receiving salaries from brothel-keepers, pawnbrokers, and others, as a kind of consideration for overlooking any offences that might have been committed in their houses against the laws applicable to their trades. Alderman COPELAND expressed himself warmly against such a nefarious system, and was surprised that tradesmen could lend themselves to uphold it. Why not observe the rules and regulations laid down by the law, and not place themselves under the power of such despicable characters? Birch dented all compromise in the matter, and said that, on Wednesday, he should be fully prepared to go into the cases. Roe retorted that he could have no interest in mis leading the Alderman; but, when he saw defenceless individuals pounced upon, with a view to pecuniary gain, by parties who professed to be acting for the public good, he should be to blame if he had neglected in bringing it before the notice of the Court. Alderman COPELANp was inclined to believe the statement of Roe, but time would elicit the truth, and on Wednesday he hoped the officer would be prepared to go on with the case in question. Accordingly, on that day, Roe had one of the females, Mrs. Roberts, in attendance ; but, when the case was called on, no one appeared to prefer the complaint. The summons was, therefore, dismissed, and an award made, calling upon Birch to pay 21. 2s. for the loss of time of Mrs. Roberts and the officers of the Court, besides other incidental expenses. On Saturday, Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, attended with Birch, and a large posse of the fraternity, at the Court, before Aldermen Copeland, M.P., and Kelly, to show cause against the award. Mr. Lewis referred to the various Acts of Parliament, and said he could find no provision empowering magistrates to allow costs to either party in cases where no adjudication had taken place ; and he contended that the Aldermen had absolutely no jurisdiction in the matter. __ _ Mr. Humphries, who attended for Mrs. Roberts, en tertained a different opinion, and addressed the Bench on the injustice that had been practised towards his client. Mr. Alderman COPELAND, after consulting with his brother magistrate, said the case was of so much im portance that he should not give any decision until he had taken the opinion of the City law officers. Both parties concurred, and next Saturday week was appointed for the settling day. Mr. Lewis remarked that if the Bench would bind over all parties who gave information to prosecute, they would have the power of inflicting the amount of costs on the party who made the charge. Mr. Alderman COPELAND thanked Mr. Lewis for the hint, and said it was his intention, in the ensuing week, to move in the House of Commons for a return of all informations laid by common informers and not pro ceeded with. BOW-STREET. MONDAY - MORNING, MAY 6, 1844. on. the prisoner, even to a number of postage stamps. He will on Monday be conveyed to Maidstone for examination before the county magistrates. On Thursday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, a Scotchman named Alexan der Sutherland was brought to the Court in the charge of Inspector Partridge, A division, by whom he had been conveyed from Queen-square Police Court, charged with using threatening language, and writing a threatening letter to Mr. Everett, the American Minister, his late master. The carriage of his Excellency drove to the door of the Court, and he alighted, accompanied by two female servants. They were ushered into the Magis trate's private room up stairs, through the Magistrate's private entrance, where the depositions were taken, the substance of which was that the prisoner had been in the complainant's service about twelve months as footman, and received his discharge a month back. He afterwards ap plied for a character to Mr. Everett, but as that gentleman could not add sobriety to his merits, the prisoner felt of fended, and repeatedly called at the mansion house, 46, Grosvenor-place, and delivered to the domestics messages of a threatening character for their master, in addition to which he wrote to his Excellency, menacing him with threats and violence. The prisoner was unable to contradict any portion of the evidence, and he was ordered to put in bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each, to keep the peace, and be ofgood behaviour, for the next twelve months. The required sureties could not be procured, and the pri soner was conveyed to Tothill fields Prisoa. [Our reporter states, respecting this case, that if there be any error in his account, it is attributable to the practice of "private" hearings.] MARLBOROUGH- S TREE T John Hull, a furniture-dealer, in St. Anne's-court, Soho, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, by John Wetherall, the inspector of pavements, for placing goods for sale before his house, on the foot-pavement. It was proved that the defendant had a number of articles before his door exposed for sale. The answer to this was, that the goods were placed on the railings of the area, and, therefore, that no offence had been com mitted. A question was about to arise as to the ille gality of placing goods as described by the defendant ; but as evidence was brought forward to show that the goods were also placed on the pavement, Mr. Ilsanwicx held that a breach of the law had been committed, and, after a proper caution, inflicted the miti gated fine of 3s. and 2s. costs. A similar information against Josh. Miller, of St. Anne's-court, was heard and settled by a similar deci sion and fine. LAMBETH-STREET. Dennis Driscol, was brought up for final examination on a chargeofcommitting a murderous assaulton his wife. The wife exhibited much reluctance at being sworn, saying it was more her own fault than " Denny's," and that she would not hurt him for the wealth of the " Inges." She was at length sworn, but made all sorts of evasions to avoid answering those questions the re plies to which must affect her husband, and kept fre quently repeating that it was more her own fault than his. Mr. NORTON' told her she deserved a much better partner than the man at the bar. The offence was as bad as any that had come before him for some time, and it was almost a miracle he had not killed her with the desperate blow he had inflicted with the poker while she was in bed. It would, however, be useless to send him for trial after the reluctance exhibited to give evidence against him by his wife ; but yet he should not escape the utmost punishment that the law allowed him, Mr. Norton, to inflict. The prisoner was then convicted in the penalty of SZ, or in default of payment to two months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.—The prisoner, not being able to pay the penalty, was locked up.

THE MURDERER DALMAIM 7:l4ugustus Dalmas, the sup posed murderer of Sarah M'Farlane, surrendered himself to Sergeant Cummings at the Marylebone police station, about 1 o'clock this morning. He was, however, for the convenience of the numerous witnesses in the case, sent to the Wandsworth station, to be examined before the magis trate there, without having at all appeared before Mr. Long at this Court. It is supposed that an understanding had been entered into to this effect, for at half-past six, A.M., Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, called, and in consequence of the arrangements above alluded to, Mr. Hughes, superintendent of the D's, sent the prisoner off in a cab, at about five minutes before ten, safely secured by being handcuffed to Sergeant Cummings. A constable, 203 D, also went in the cab. A very considerable crowd had collected to witness the departure of Dalmas. He appeared very pale and haggard, and had evidently been unshaved for many days. His dress, a bad suit of black, was wretchedly dirty, as if the unf or t unate man had not ta k en th em o ff hi s person since the period of the murder. His mental faculties ap peared completely bl un t e d, an d, exce pting for the occas i ona l flashing of his eyes, a circumstance so apparent that many of those present exclaimed, " God bless us how wild he looks," he might be supposed to be dead to all that was passing around him. UNION-HALL. Thomas Wise was charged before Mr. Cottingham with furiously driving and endangering the lives of two persons, one of whom, a boy, is now confined in the hospital, owing to the serious nature of the injury he received. It appeared that on the preceding evening the defendant, with three other persons, in a gig, were observed driving along Wellington -place at a very quick rate. When the de fendant, who was driving, arrived near the Waterloo-bridge, he whipped the horse with the intention of evading the toll, and when the gig passed through the gate it came into violent collision with an omnibus and was shattered to pieces throwing the defendant and the three other persons with violence into the road. Two of the persons, a woman and a boy, were most seriously injured, particularly the latter, who was taken up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to the hospital, where he remains in a very precarious condition. The woman, whose name is Ellis, was enabled to attend the examination, although dreadfully cut about the face and hands, and in giving her evidence, she said that shortly before they came up to the bridge, she implored the defendant not to drive so fast, but he disregarded her entreaties and continued his speed, until they came in con tact with the omnibus, and were all thrown out. The defendant said' that the horse took fright just before he came to the toll-house, but this assertion was contradicted by the toll collector, who said the defendant whipped the horse to evade paying the toll. Mr. CorrmitiAm said that the certificate from the hospi tal described the dangerous condition of the boy, and that if death ensued the defendant would be answerable for it. The Magistrate then said that he should remand the defendant until Wednesday, and as bail was offered he would accept of two sureties of 1001. each for his appearance on that day. The prisoner's father, a wealthy cow-keeper at Chelsea, having given the required sureties, the defendant was dis charged. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—One of the most awful fires which it was ever our province to, record' took place last Wednesday, at Stretham, near Ely. The destrue tion of property is enormous, and when we say that no less than twenty-five houses, &c., have been razed to the ground, including habitations of wealthy agriculturists and humble labourers, the reader will imagine for him self the:extent of misery which must be the conse quence of this visitation. The fire originated in a small hovel adjoining the blacksmith's shop of Mr. John Westby. It is supposed that some sparks of hot iron were the immediate cause of the catastrophe, but this does not quite clearly appear. At any rate, about one o'clock in the day the hovel was discovered to be in flame ; and although assistance was at hand, and the fire seemed at first but trifling, so dry were the materials of which the hovel was composed that it was very soon enveloped in flames, which communicated with Mr. Westby's house on one side, and Mr. Wright's stack yard on the other. No sooner were Mr. Wright's ex tensive and well-stored premises seized upon by the fire, than the utmost alarm for the safety of th- .d.tety o. .ee village was George Weston, a sergeant of the F division of police, en t er t a i ne d.

Various plans have been sub" mitted to the Commissioners, and those of Mr. Owen Jones' Messrs. Wyatt and Brandon, and Mr. Kendall, have' been • accepted, and operations have been already commenced. 1 , 11 the plans selected, which are a ll i n th e pure Italian str_e, are designs for mansions whi c h are t o b e b u il t o f a grandet ' seldom seen in a private thoroughfare. Some of the boor will contain upwards of forty rooms, and in most are spa' ments, en suite, upwards of one hundred and fifty feet V' length. The greater portion of these magnificent struotars a ale secured by aristocratic and wealthy families ; and O r : Blashfield, a lessee under the Crown, has undertaken to 110- them ready during the forthcoming summer. The villas 011 each side will command a view of Kensington. - gardens' The road will be upwards of a mile in length, and tomtit,' feet wide, except at the south side—thus connecting both the great great western roads. It is the i n t en ti on o f h er M a j e sty a Commissioners to erect two gates equal to any in London-- one at each end, and double sets of lodges, to be inhabited bY liveried gatekeepers who will be assisted by •supernumerefie* inkeeping up an efficient police. EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING. — DOV ER , MAT This morning Carlotta Grisi, the celebrated danseuse, whoa° farewell benefit came off last night at the Italian Opera' London, arrived here by special train by the South-Easter n Railway, on her way to Paris, where she is engaged to per" form this evening at the A ca de m i e R oya l e d e Musique. Car; lotta Grisi did not leave London till half-past two a.3l.,„eir in consequence of being det a i ne d b e t ween R e i gate an d G od " stone, by a luggage train b e i ng on th e line, did not tele*" Dover till a quarter past five. It was, therefore, getting t° . wards six o'clock before she embarked on board the Magician steamer, Commander Kin g , w hi c h l a y i n th e R oa d s i n 'wat t' ing, specially to t rans p or t h er t o B ou l ogne. The Magit.`"", (which, by the way, returned to Dover by twelve o'clock noon) occupied two hours on the passage across. Mlle. 0 11 ' 1 , left Boulogne about eight o' c l oc k, an d , cons i dering tha t road thence to Paris must be posted, it will be a feat worthf,, of record, provided she reac h es th e F rench capital safe a nd well, and is enabled t o acqui t h erse lf i n the dance with _l5. same éclat she did i n L on d on l ast n i ght. The task 31-I!a' Grisi has set herself is, we believe, unparalleled in the guar of travelling in this direction, and clearly demonstrates tu: superiority of the route, via Dover, between the French 0 English capitals.
