Painted by Danson and Telbin. • The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the mpet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men!ays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation oP. THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully_pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that- Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect slate, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. ?ceding of the Animals at Five—Concert at Six—Conflagration at Dusk.

The friends of peace will rejoice to learn that the influence of that meddling and unprincipled func tionary, Mr. TYLER, who became President of the United States by accident, is entirely annihilated. In order to pate the way for his election to the chair, and partly, also, from hatred and jealousy of England, he proposed to the Senate a scheme for an nexing Texas to the already enormous territory of the Republic. That body, after mature deliberation, -rejected the measure by a majority of 35 to 16. islothingahashed by this marked defeat be draws up a long palaver, in order to try what he can do with the representives of the people. Being aware that all the northern States looked upon the scheme with great distrust and even alarm, on ac count of the additional power which it would give to the southern and slave-holding States, he meets them half- way, and proposes, through one of his agents in the Senate, to take Texas into the union on two con -o:l4ions —to divide that vast district into two portions 'to called South- Western and North-Western Texas, and to prohibit the existence of slavery for ever in the latter. Doubting the effect of this tricky device, he tries to alarm the commercial portion of the representatives by the following vague statement:- 4 ' Nothing has occurred to weaken, but on the contrary, to confirm my confidence in the statements of Ge neral JAcx.sox, and my own statement made in a message to Congress, in the belief, amounting almost 20 a certainty, that instructions have already been given by the Texan .Government to propose to the Government of Great Britain, forthwith, on the failure of the treaty, to enter into a treaty of com merce and alliance, offensive and defensive." He r urges also that as England consolidated the Heptarchy, and annexed Scotland and Ireland, she can have no right to object to the modest proposal which, to use his own words, would duplicate the exports of the country—thereby making an addition to the carrying trade to an amount almost incalculable, and giving a new impulse of immense importance to the commer cial, manufacturing, agricultural, and shipping inte rests of the union ; thus including all trades, and en deavouring to work upon the fears and jealousies and interests of the whole community. All, however, was in vain; the House would not "hearken to the voice of the charmer, charming never so cun ningly." They would not even entertain the ques tion, and the motion that the message do lie upon the table was rejected by a majority of 118 to 86. Nay, what is more, a motion simply for printing 1,500 copies of this precious document was negatived by a majority of 29. This seals the fate of Mr. JOHN TYLER, and announces the gratifying fact, that the great body of the representatives of the people will not back a desperate adventurer, who, for his own selfish purposes, broaches a scheme that might anni hilate, in place of increasing, their commerce, and de stroy the peace of the world. There is but one opinion respecting the conduct of the Home Secretary in ordering the private letters of M. Mazzna to be opened at the General Post-office. All people"—as the Times of this morning justly remarks—" agree in vituperating him. Never was Minister more pitilessly assailed. His unpopularity, sufficiently great before, has received an unenviable increase of odium and notoriety; and the dislike with which he was regarded by some parties in the House of Commons has extended itself to all parties out of the House." We rejoice at this. It is a " great fact," and proves that the tone of pub lic morality is by no means at so low an ebb as might be anticipated, considering that the direct tendency of our Conservative Government, for the last four years, has been to vitiate, if not wholly destroy it, by their expediency system of legislation. But not only has Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S conduct excited the indignation of every honest, high minded Englishman, but it has roused a strong feel ing of abhorrence also in France, as is manifest from a late discussion that took place on the subject, in the Chamber of Deputies. " That England," said M. DE MALLEVILLE, " who, according to her own account, marches with SD much pride at the head of free nations, should still be obliged to suffer such dis honourable outrages as regards herself, proves that, in point of practical liberty, there is a good deal yet to be learned on the other side the Straits. The Ministers will probably be obliged to me for giving them this opportunity of declaring, in the most public manner, that, with us at least, the privacy of letters is respected by law and in fact ; for it is to the honour of the Go vernment of July to have shut the Cabinet Noir, and I sincerely hope it will never be re-established." In reply to these remarks, the Premier, M. GulzoT, ob- served with emphasis :—" The Hon. Member who has just spoken is quite in the right. In law and in fact, the privacy of letters is completely respected in Franca, both as regards natives and foreigners." Can our Premier say as much ? Certainly not ; the Home Secretary has effectually cut the ground from under his feet, and, only as a pleasant fiction, can he now talk of the privacy of letters being respected in England. Of course the French will be filled with exultation at the idea of the superior morality and honesty of their Govern ment to that of ours; they will be constantly taunt ing us with the flagrant misconduct of Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; and they will point to the defence set up for him by the Cabinet, as a proof that his official colleagues deem his violation of M. MazziNes private correspondence an act justified by law, and in perfect accordance with the dictates of common honesty, The French have never yet forgiven us—and they probably never will entirely--for our decisive victory over them at Waterloo ; but if anything can tend to soften the bitterness of their feelings on this subject, it will be the flattering conviction that they will henceforth entertain of the loftier moral tone held by their, Government to that which prevails in ours. They will tell us that our Home Secretary is no better than a spy, and that his col leagues may be regarded as his accomplices, otherwise they would not defend him so readily as they have done. And to these stinging taunts what ans wer can we make ? None at all. The humiliating fact can not be denied, that the PEEL Ministry has dishonoured itself in the eyes of Europe, and that England is to some extent a sharer in its disgrace, by sanctioning its continuance in office. But, thank GOD, public feeling is at length actively roused on the subject, and is expressing itself in a tone that daily becomes more menacing and significant ! The cry now everywhere is " Down with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" So say we. "Down with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" and the sooner he is ejected from Downing-street, the better. His con tinuance in the Cabinet is a direct insult to the moral feelings of the people. It is a proof that the exploded espionage system will be revived, at the first feasible opportunity, in all its enormity ; and that neither public nor private rights will be respected when ever they may chance to interfere with the Home Secretary's latitudinarian notions of what is expedient. Most earnestly—most emphatically— with a strong conviction of the imperative necessity of the case—we conjure our countrymen of all parties, and shades of parties, to mark without delay - _ their unmitigated disgust and abhorrence of the con duct of Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Already that disgust and that abhorrence have been manifested in no un equivocal form ; but this is not enough, public meetings should be held in all quarters, having for their avowed and direct object the immediate removal of the Home Secretary from office. Some of the Madrid journals of the 22d ult. express great alarm respecting the measures which are about to be adopted by the Ministers, now assembling at Barcelona. One of them state that two of these mea sures will be the marriage of the QUEBN to the son of Don CeaLos, and a decree for reviving the Estatuto Real, both very probable. The Clamor Publico strongly protests against such a daring violation of the Constitution in these words : "PerAdy gave birth to these times of calamity, despotism has supported, and anarchy crowns it. The course which the Liberal party are to pursue, if the fatal things they fore see be realised, is evident. They must defend the integrity of the Constitution they have conquered at the cost of their blood; they must resist the tyrants and usurpers who would strip the nation of its rights and sovereignty. The struggle will be a duty and a necessity to the partisans of liberal in stitutions, for they will have to combat de: potic power, a scandalous usurpation, and an intolerable tyranny, a dicta torship resting on force, and which would establish its odious domination on the wrecks of the constitutional edifice, and of the freedom of the Spanish people." The Verdad, of Barcelona, states that EL GROC, the last of the Carlist rebels of Maestrasga, has been taken and shot. All his companions, to the amount of nearly 150, had been previously taken and put to death. The Three per Cents. were donefor cash, at 2613-16 ; 60 days, 27+; and the Five per Cents., for cash, 20 ; at 60 days, 201. We find no fresh intelligence, relative to the Mo rocco war in the Paris papers. Some of them, how ever, have bitter articles_ on the late occurrences, di rected both against the King of the FRENCH and the English Government. The Carlist journal, the Quo tidienne, particularly distinguishes itself on the occa sion, and would lead the country to infer that France can never be really independent of England while the ORLEANS dynasty exists. We give the following as a specimen :—" England, by the organ of Sir R. PEEL, has been graciously pleased to permit our projects on Morocco ; our rulers have communicated to her their views; the demands of the Empzaoß, and how they intend replying to them. They have communicated to the British Ministry the instructions given to the Prince de JOINVILLE, and these instructions are fully satisfactory. Thus, we now learn, through the de bates in the English Parliament, why we have col lected a fleet and confided an expedition to the Prince de Jonsvnr,nm ! England saw in it no incon venience; the innocuous character of the instruc tions of our admiral has procured him at once a satis fecit and an exeat. Poor France ! But seriously, if on any point of the globe a government adjoining any of the British possessions should think fit to in. vade them with an armed force, and attack the Eng lish troops, and if this attack bore a grave character, and came from a government so powerful, that the Cabinet of London should deem it proper to confide the command of an expedition to a Prince of the Royal family, is it to be supposed that this Cabinet, lbefore the departure of the expedition, would think itself obliged to submit to the approbation of the French Government its views, and the instructions given to its general? Certainly the idea would never occur to it, or if by impossibility we suppose that it might, is it to be believed that the publicity given to that :lot of weakness would not be sufficient to excite the indignation of a proud and independent nation ? Well then, France owes to England only what Eng land would believe it would owe in a similar case : any other rule of conduct is unworthy of us, for it cannot be atributed to an act of good intelligence-- but to a feeling of weakness—to a sentiment of in,, feriority." The Journal des Debats takes a very different view of the question, and announces that great prepara tions are in progress to punish the perfidious Moors, and avenge the honour of France. " Reinforcements," it adds, "continue to be sent from Algiers to Oran. A battalion of the 44th arrived at Oran on the 19th; another battalion of the same regiment was about to be sent to Tenez to reinforce the camp at Orleans vine. The banks and islet of Ghazouna, at the mouth of the River Nedroma, on the extreme frontier of Morocco, will, it is said, be occupied by our troops. The odious perfidy of the Morocco troops, and the battle of the 15th, render the difficulty of arrange ment almost inextricable. We are still persuaded that all this is done in opposition to the will of the EMPEROR ; but when his own guard takes the lead in aggression, instead of controlling the undisciplined tribes, of what service can be the protestations and engagements of a SOVEREIGN who is no longer mas ter of his own people, and whose troops follow the impulsion of the ambitious ABD-EL.KADER." Pri vate letters also state that General BUGEAUD had in timated his intention to the Government of invading Morocco as soon as he had assembled a sufficient body of troops, and that possibly his next dispatches would be dated from Fez. On Friday the discussion on the Northern Railroad Bill was brought to a close, when the Chamber adopted the Government plan by a majority of 227 to 42. The branch line from Amiens to Boulogne was also adopted. It is to run through Abbeville and Etaples, and will be leased to a company for ninety nine years. On the same day, M. DE MALLEVILLE alluded to the discussion which had lately taken place in the House of Commons, on Mr. T. DuNcomnE's motion relative to opening letters at the Post-office, and complained that the statement of Mr. DUN COMBE, implying that the secrecy of letters was not respected in France, had been published in the Moniteur, without any protest, denial, or remark, for it was a well-known fact that no such practice now existed at the French Post-office. M. GUIZOT, from his place, said " The Hon. Deputy was perfectly cor rect in stating that both in right and in fact the secrecy of letters was completely respected in France, but we have not judged it proper, nor shall we ever think it necessary, to make a complaint against er roneous statements made on this subject either in France or other countries." 'We have adverted to this subject in a separate article. The accounts from Morocco caused a sudden de pression of the French Funds. On Friday the Three per Cents. fell to 81f. 85c., and on Saturday they closed at 821., and the Fives at 122 f. 20c. THE BOURSE—SATURDAY, JUNE 29. ~` THE SUN, LONDON MONDAY EVENING, JULY 1,. 1844.

The House sat to-day to hear writs of error. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Redesdale. The Judges were also in attendance, and among them we noticed the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Patteson. GRAY V. THE QUEEN. This case came before their Lo;dships upon a writ of error from a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, by which the petitioner, Samuel Gray, was sentenced to transportation for life for firing at and killing a person named Owen Murphy. The principal, and indeed the only question in the case, was whether a party indicted for an offence not punishable with death, has the right of peremptorily challenging any of the jury :—Samuel Gray, the petitioner in error, was indicted at the. Lent Assizes 1842, for the county of Monaghan, for having committed a felony in firing at and killing Owen Murphy. The charge was founded, and the indictment framed, upon the stature Ist Victoria, cap. 85, section 3. Gray having pleaded not guilty, the trial pro ceeded at the Assizes until, in consequence of the illness of one of the jurors, they were obliged to be discharged without giving a verdict. At the Summer Assizes, in the same year, the trial was again brought on; but the jury not agreeing in their verdict, were discharged. A similar occurrence took place at the Lent Assizes in 1843. The proceedings were then removed by the Crown to the Court of Queen's Bench, and in Easter Term, 1843, Gray was required to plead to the indictment in that Court. - Upon this Gray pleaded that he had been tried for feloniously shooting at Owen Murphy and acquitted. To this plea the Attorney-General [demurred, and Gray having joined in the demurrer, it was argued, and the demurrer was allowed, and Gray was ordered to answer over to the felony charged in the indictment. Gray pleaded again " Not guilty" and the case was ordered to be tried at the Summer Assizes for Monaghan. On the case being called on, and during the empanelling of the jury, Gray peremptorily challenged two of them, but that challenge was disallowed, on the ground that it had been the practice in Ireland not to allow a peremptory challenge in any case of felony not punishable with death. The trial then proceeded, and the petitioner Gray was found guilty and sentenced to transportation for life. Mr. Justice Perrin declared his opinion, and gave his judgment that the chal lenge ought to have been allowed, and that the judgment on the verdict ought to have been arrested, and a venire de novo awarded; but the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Burton, and Mr. Justice Crampton were of a different opinion. Under these circumstances Gray brought the writ of error that now came on for argument. Mr. NAPIER and Mr. DAWSON appeared for the petitioner in error, and contended that the sentence ought to be set aside, on the ground of the challenge of the jury by the pe titioner being refused, and because the incidents of the de fence and trial of all felonies were the same, and the right of peremptory challenge appertained to the trial of felony, as a specific class of crime, and had, therefore, been uniformly allowed in England on the trial of felonies not punishable with death, as well as capital felonies. The Attorney-General for Ireland and Mr. Waddington appeared on behalf of the Crown. The arguments were proceeding when we went to press. Mr. Cocktunx—And did not shrink from it. The proper qualification of the horse—its actual identity should be fully proved, not by one witness or by several witnesses— but by a whole host. In the month of June 1842, Mr. Cobb sent the mare Mab to The Saddler where she re mained for eight days. She was taken thence to Newmar ket, and there remained till the 11th of May, when she foaled Running Rein. They were taken to a paddock at Sutton for a certain time, and then both were taken back to Newmarket. The colt was constantly attended by Kitchen. In November he was seen by a person of the name of Stebbing, who was employed by Mr. Goodman to buy up some colts fur him. Mr. Stebbing soon afterwards, late in November, commissioned a person named King to go and try the foal. This was done, and he was taken to Mr. King's at Malton. He there remained from 7th September till 17th January, attended to by the same man. On that day Stebbing sent a man to bring him to York, in order to send him by railway to Mr. Goodman's stables, near London. He did so, and delivered him to a servant of Mr. Goodman's. This was the first stage in the matter, and numerous witnesses would fully sustain the identity to this point. The descrip tion of bins was this :—a bay colt with a few white hairs only, and had this peculiarity, cracked heels, which the horse had now, and had when foaled. He was also wider between the ears than thorough-bred horses generally are. Ile was re ceived at Euston-square by Mr. Goodman and servants, and thence went for two nights to stables in Foley-place, and thence he was taken to the stables of Mr. Pearl, who would give most satisfactory testimony to them. He remained there ten days, and was thence taken to a Mr. Bean, at Finchley, to be turned out. Whilst at Bean's, he was seen by Mr. Pearl, who would corroborate the testimony, that it was the same as that which had been at his stables. Many persons saw him, all of whom would corroborate the evidence as to the identity of the horse that won, and the colt that was foaled by Mab. Whilst at Finchley, Running Rein slightly injured himself on the near fore leg, which, however, left a scar, but a very slight one indeed—enough still to assist in its identity. On the 24th September ' 1842, the colt was taken from Bean's and taken to Haines's livery stables, where it remained till the 27th, and the ostler attending it would be brought before them. On that day, William Drewett, of Letherhead, fetched it away. It was then just becoming a two-year old. A trainer of the name of Smith, of Epsom, was selected by Mr. Goodman to train the horse, and Drewett was the man that took him to that person's stables. There was the clearest evidence of the transfer of the horse on the 27th of September. Ile was then unbacked, unbroken. On his arrival at Smith's, he was put under the care of a man of the name of Hitchcock; of course Smith himself having his eye constantly upon him. He was seen by many persons —amongst others by the Baron de Tessier. He continued at Smith's, until February, 1843. Whilst there he was seen both by Pearl and Bean, both of whom would distinctly identify the colt. In February some disagreement took place between Goodman and Smith, and the colt was taken away by Goodman to Sutton, where he remained in training until the autumn of the year, when certain engagements for which he was entered, caused him to be taken to Newmarket. He (Mr. Cockburn) came now to a most important epoch—that of October, 1843. The colt was there entered for the Clear well Stakes, and for a race at the Houghton Meet ing. Before he ran for either he was entered for a two-year-old fifty pound plate, which he won, beating eleven or twelve others. After he won, the Duke of Rutland, on the instigation of Lord George Bentinck, objected to his having the stakes, on the ground that he was a three year, and not a two year old. An inquiry took place before the three stewards, Lord Stradbroke, Mr. Greville, and Hon. George Byng. Between the race and the inquiry a fortnight took place, and Lord George Bentinck, as usual, not losing a chanc e where anything was to be gained, sent down into Yorkshire for evidence. The matter was thoroughly gone into by the stewards of the races, and they unanimously decided in favour of Running Rein, and against the objection raised by the Duke of Rutland at the instigation of Lord George Bentinck, who, he begged to tell the jury, was the real defendant in this matter, that high-minded and upright man, Col. Peel, having nothing whatever to do with it. Pending this decision he had run in the Clearwell Stakes, and he was beaten by Zenobia, a colt of Colonel Peel's. In consequence of this, he did not run at the Houghton Meet ing, and Colonel Peel's Zenobia, walked over the course. After this, the colt was b roug ht back to Epsom, and M r . Goodman had fallen into very considerable embarrassments, owing, amongst other persons, a large sum to Mr. Wood. Goodman could not pay, and wanted more money, and there fore proposed to Wood to take the horse for the debt, giving him (Goodman) two hundred pounds more in cash. (At this part of the proceedings two notes were sent by individuals on the bench to counsel, and the Judge indig nantly said—" I am already in a very delicate position, and 1 trust no one will again attempt to make that position more delicate still.") Mr. COCKBURN said he quite agreed with his Lordship in the necessity and propriety of his observations. He then proceeded to say what then was Mr. Wood's position, having fairly bought the horse, which had undergone a fair and full examination as to his identity, and being burthened with his engagements as all horses were bought. Surely the transac tion was straightforward enough ; and yet, because some suspicion attached to certain transactions of Goodman with regard to other horses—and because certain noblemen and gentlemen (as they called themselves) had bet to an enor mous amount against the horse, Mr. Wood was now at tempted to be robbed of his gains. He spoke not of Colonel Peel—not he ; no, there was an honest man ; but let other gentlemen, and one or two certain noblemen, get into the wit ness-box—let them dare to do it, and he would turn them in side out.—(Laughter.) Why, many of these people—mem bers, aye, and high members, too, of the Jockey Club—he could prove, laid heavily, enormously against Running Rein at the very time th e y were prepar i ng a case t o dispute his qualification. To proceed, however. A day or two before he ran, Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, and Mr. John Scott, signed a protest against Running Rein. The stewards adopted the usual rule of the Jockey Club, and ap pointed a time for receiving evidence as to the identity of the horse; and they determined that he was, prima fade, quali fied to run. He did run, and he won the race. It was ob jected that the stakes should not be given up, and a further inquiry was to be instituted. Mr. Wood again prepared for it ; but Colonel Peel refused to go into it, but offered to abide by the arbitration of a barrister. This Mr. Wood declined, in his (Mr. Cockburn's) opinion, most properly. After indulging in some surmises as to the case which was to be brought for the defence, and making a bitter and most acrimonious attack upon Lord George Bentinck, who sat close behind him, the Learned Counsel concluded by saying, that even if it could be proved that Mr. Goodman had been guilty of im proprieties, he defied proof of impropriety as regarded this horse, Running Rein, and that his own client in this case (Mr. Wood) was as high-minded and as honest a man as ever lived, and one who would be the very first to scout anything like improper or unworthy conduct, whether in connexion with the turf, or with any other business or transaction in life. The following witnesses were then called and examined : Thomas Lofthouse examined by Mr. JAMES—I live at Norton, just across the bridge from Malton, in Yorkshire. I know Mr. Copp, who had a mare called Mab. I took her to Mr. Osbaldestone's to' be covered by The Saddler. This was on the sth June, 1840. I saw her covered by The Sad dler. In May, 1841, she dropped her foal. I saw her with the foal in a loose box at Mr. Cobb's. The foal was a bay colour, with black legs and feet clear of white ; a few white hairs on the forehead, but no star. - I saw the foal regularly, two or three times a day. I know Mr. King's, at Norton, near Malton, and there I afterwards saw the colt. I saw it remaining there till the back part of the year. It left there either in November or December. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-4 men tioned a star because I thought you might think there was a star.—(Loud laughter.) Never heard anybody say any thing about a star. I can't say why I added the words " but no star." I thought you might think it was a star.— (Loud laughter.) I have no other reason for saying" but no star." The colt was a smart little foal, not a very big one. I believe The Saddler has got a star upon his forehead, but I really don't know positively. I never observed anything about the colt's feet but that he was clear of white. his legs were black two or three days after birth. I did not notice whether the foal turned out the off fore-foot, but I did re mark his four black legs, John Kitching examined by Mr. Cocxsuux—ln the year 1840 I went to live with Mr. Cobb, at Melton. I remember his mare blab. I remember her having a foal. I was pre sent. The foal was born in the stable, and there remained for about a week, and then with the dam went to Sutton house paddock till the autumn. I constantly looked after them in the paddock, and also when the foal was brought back to the hay-house. The foal was a bay one, black legs all the way up, a very few white hairs on the forehead ; ears did not ail much —nothing much the matter with them, I _ _ mean.—(Laughter.) In November Mr. Stebbing came to look at the foal, and he bought it. Robert Spawnton, in the employment of Mr. King, fetched it. I went with him. We took the foal to Mr. King's, and I left it there. In October, 1843, I was applied to by Mr. Allen to go to Newmarket. He gave me money, and told me to go to Lord George Ben . Una's lodgings. I went there direct on arriving at New market. His Lordship was not at home, and his valet directed me to remain till his return: I did so. I stayed till nine o'clock, and had some bread and cheese. I was then taken to Mr. Kent's, Lord George's trainer. There I slept. In the morning I did not go out till hip Lordship came, when he and iiiiother gentleman took me to the Jockey Club. I made a statement there, and I was then taken by Lord Stradbroke to the stables, where I saw a colt. I knew the colt. It was the one bred by The Saddler out of the mare. I afterwards saw the colt again at Epsom, at the last Derby race. I was before the Stewards before the race was run. That was the fame colt I had seen at Newmarket, and the same colt that was foaled from Mr. Cobb's mare. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GEXERAL.—I had bad the care of horses with a farmer before I went to Mr. Cobb's. I have been in no employment since the Derby. I have been living at Mr. Glen's, the biscuit maker, in Regent- street. Mr. Gill sent me there. I have not given up my situation at York. I drive a lady out in a carriage when I am down there. Mr. Gill has not promised to get me a place. He never promised me anything. I am not to have anything for my trouble if we win the trial—not that I know of. I have never been promised 1004 and have no expectation of get ting any such sum.—(A letter was here banded to the wit ness, and the Solicitor-General desired him to read it care fully before he answered any more questions.)—That is my handwriting. Mr. Gill did not promise to get me a place in London, or that he would try and get me one. I don't know that I am to be well paid for my trouble if we win the trial. I merely wrote that letter to pacify my father. The letter is all false—there is no truth in it. The Jun(lE—Then you pacify your father by writing lies. That's the Yorkshire way of pacifying parents.—(Loud laughter.) Young man, you ought never to write lies nor to speak them. Witness—Well, Sir, I did not mean any ill. I don't re member Lord Stradbroke asking Goodman at Newmarket to let Barrow, the person with his Lordship, look at the horse's mouth. I can't say I was more than ten minutes after seeing the colt that I made up my mind it was the colt foaled by blab. I said it was the same. I swear I said it was the same to the best of my knowledge. When a foal, it was a poor shabby-looking thing. Th e d am was rather a bad nurse. I was with the person (Stebbi ng ) w h o led the foal to King's. Stebbing is here—so also is Mr. Cobb. I don't know Mr. Watson, of Northampton. I never saw such a person. Glen, the baker, has a house at a Queen -elms,: Brompton, and it was there that I was. There was no other stranger there whilst I was. Re-examined—l remained in town with the consent of my master at York. My father was sent to London to get me away. Mr. Walker, the lawyer at Malton, sent him to get me away. My father took me to Hicks and Morris, Mr. Walker's town agents. My father also saw Mr. Gill , and he wanted to get from him a p rom i se t o get me a place, and Mr. Gill refused. Henry Stebbing examined by Mr. JA3fEs—l am a train ing groom at Hambledon in Yorkshire. In 1841 I knew of Mr. Cobb's Mab having a foal ; I first saw it in Mr. Cobb's pad dock ; John King bought the foal upon my orders. He was brought to Norton, whe re I sent a person named Watson for him. I sent 281. by Willi am Wi se , m y man, to pay for him. Mr. Watson took the colt to York, where I saw him. The colour was bay, the four legs black, and he bad a few white hairs on his forehead. This was in January, 1842. My brother James was at York when the colt came there ; he was going to Newmarket, on his way to London. I saw the colt put in ' the railway-box. I was at Newmarket in 1843, when an ob jection was made to a horse. I cannot say whether it was the same that I had seen at York, as I had not seen that one since he was a foal, but the colour was the same. I expected that the colt would grow into such a horse as Running Rein. I saw the horse which goes by that name both on the course and in the stable. I had bought him for Ur. Goodman. RUNNING REIN CASE. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.) WOOD V. PEEL. This trial, upon which the hopes and fears of the sporting world have been so earnestly fixed since the recent race for the Derby, and the dispute as to the legitimate claimant of the stakes, having been appointed for to-day, the Court, im mediately on its opening, was greatly crowded. Several sporting men of celebrity were in attendance, and intense anxiety seemed to pervade the great majority of persons present. The crowd, however, would have been consider ably greater, but for the circumstance that the Court of Ex chequer sitting also at Guildhall, a great number of persons bent their unhappy steps thitherward. The Earl of Stradbroke, the Hon. Mr. Byng, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, the Baron de Tessier, the Hon. Charles Greville, and other parties in high llfe, sat upon the bench. Lord G. Bentinck sat close to the Counsel for the defendant. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. James, and Mr. Lush, appeared for the plaintiff ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr. Wortley, Q.C., and Mr. Martin for the defendant. At a few minutes before ten o'clock Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat upon the bench, when the following gentlemen were sworn of the Special Jury :—Joseph Bowman, foreman ; Isaac Haywood, Charles W. Moore, Frederick Bryant, Chas. J. Cotteril, Robert Bentley, Richard Williams, William Cotes, Thomas A. H. Dickson, John T. Miller, Edward An trobus, and Henry Watson. Witnesses on both sides were ordered out of Court. On application to the Bench, however, Lord George Bentinck was permitted to stay, as were also the Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert Heathcote. Mr. LUSH having stated the pleadings, Mr. COCKBURN said the question was, whether a horse called Running Rein, which won the Derby at the last Epsom Races, was a colt foaled in 1841, whose sire was The Saddler, and whose dam was Mab. When they recollected what the Derby was—the amount of the stakes and the number of people, grave senators, lawyers, and others, who took an in terest in it—it would easily account for the importance that was attached to the present issue. The plaintiff had to con tend with individuals of great weight and station, who had very large bets depending on the result of the action, and who therefore vage indefatigable and not over-scrupulous in their efforts to defeat him. The question, however, was a very simple one. It was not one of opinion, nor of science, but of fact. Indeed, it was a plain question of identity. The horse in question won the race—won it easily —won it gallantly. This done, Colonel Peel, the owner of the second horse, objected to the stakes being paid over to the owner of Running Rein, and claimed them for himself as the owner of Orlando. According to the ordinary rules of the Jockey Club, Colonel Peel having objected to the age of the horse was bound to prove the disqualification to the satisfaction of that club. But Colonel Peel did not do this, but took refuge under the power of the law, thus throwing on the plaintiff the onus of proving the birth of the horse. Baron ALDEusorT—The plaintiff himself undertook that — he chose his own position. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I have been accustomed to horses since I was thirteen years of age ; I am now seven-and-twenty. Mr. Goodman told me, at New market, to buy the colt. He told me to bny him a foal or two, if they were cheap. He gave me no description of the foalle wanted either verbally or in writing. He sent me a letter when he paid me, but did not ask for any description of the foal which I had bought; I am quite certain that I had no instructions either verbally or in writing as to the sort of foal that Mr. Goodman wanted. The white hairs in the forehead were together. At the time I bought the colt, he was a shabby-looking animal; but he had large limbs. The pasterns were not long; the off-fore foot did not turn out more than that of most horses. I should say-it did not turn out at all. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—It did not turn out Sot .as . to attract my notice. At the time I bought the foal, Mr. Good man was running several horses; I had two of his horses at that time. Wm. Wiles examined by Mr. JAMES—In 1841 I was the servant of Mr. Henry Stebbing. I went to' Mr. Cobb's re specting a foal ; it was a bay foal, without any white except a few white hairs on the forehead. The legs were all black. ' I paid for it, and directed it to be sent to Mr. King's. The last time I saw it was at Mr. King's. His Loitimitir here inquired if the horse could be seen by himself and the Jury? The SotAmon-GENtenAL said they had applied for per mission to see it and had been refused. Mr.COCKBURN said he would inform his Lordship presently under what circumstances. His LORDSHIP said he should like to see the horse, and lie thought the jury would also. He was quite sure the verdict would be set aside if the horse were not seen. Mr. COCKBURN said if his Lordship's order had been pro perly used there would have been no obstacle. . His Lorwsiiir said whatever use might have been made of the order, he was sure it would be worse for the parties if it were not seen now. Mr. Cock - BURN had not the slightest objection to his Lord ship and the jury seeing the horse. Robert Spanton examined by Mr. COCKBURN—In the year 1841 I was in the service of Mr. King, the training-groom, at Malton. In the month of December, 1841, I fetched away a foal, and brought it to Mr. King's; it remained in the stable about six weeks, and was afterwards turned out on Mr. King's paddock. I attended to it during the whole time ; it was a bay colt with black legs ; there was no white about the legs, but there was a little about the forehead; it did not amount to what we call a star. The heels were cracked very much. The ears were rather wide. Cross-examined by the Soucrron-GEsERAL---The hind heels were cracked. It is a very common thing for a horse to have cracked heels. John Andrews, examined by Mr. JAMES-My brother is a training-groom, at Hambledon. I reside with him. In January, 1842, I was at York. I came from. Thirak with him to meet the foal. I came up to London by a train, which conveyed a foal. I brought him to Eusten-square station. It was dark when I arrived in London. The foal was met either by a man or a lad. I saw him next morning, at Mr. Goodman's stables in Folerplace. He was of a bay colour. Some would have entered him bay or brown, his legs were black. lam not aware that he had any white about him. After seeing him at Mr. Goodman's stables I never saw him again except at Newmarket. I cannot swear that the horse I saw at Newmarket was Mr. Good man's colt, but it was just such a horse as the colt seemed likely to become. John Andrews re-examined by Mr. JAmEs—ln December 1841 I was in the service of Mr. Fowlis, attending his hunters at Cobb's. Daniel White, examined by Mr. JAMESS—I anftin the ser vice of Mrs. Allen in Albemarle-street. In 1842, I was at Mr. Joseph's livery-stables, in Foley-place. I went to the Euston- square station for a foal in January, 1842, which I got on arriving there, and took to Mr. Goodman's stables. I remained there two nights. I took him every afternoon to Mr. Pearl's in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and left him there. I saw him afterwards'in the September of that year, at Mr. Bean's at Finchley. I went to fetch him for Mr. Goodman. I took him to Mr. Goodman's house first, and from there to Mr. llaynes's livery stables in Langham place, where, according to Mr. Goodman's order, I left him. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I lived with Mr. Josephs, whose stables were used by Mr. Goodman at different times. I cannot say how long the colt remained at Pearl's. George White attended to the colt in Mr. Good man's stables. I met him about two months since near Foley-place, and he said he was going to a situation at Paris. Re-examined by Mr. JAMES- 2- 411 — m I fetched the colt, ,00k him to Mr. Goodman's stables. James Wilson Feari,7;;;T;Tby Mr. COCKBURN—I am a livery-stable keeper, carrying on business in Milton-street. Dorset-square. I remember, in January, 1843, a man bring ing a bay colt of Mr. Goodman's to my stables. I saw him two or three times every day. I saw him at Mr. Bean's six weeks after he left my stables, in a pad dock. I knew him to be the same colt. I never saw him afterwards, till I saw him at Epsom. To the best of my belief he was the same horse, but I could not swear that he was. Cross- examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL---Mr. Bean's paddock adjoins the road. __ _ Wm. Bean examined by Mr. JA3nts—l lived at FinchJey in January, 1842 ; was applied to by Mr-Goodman to allow a colt of his to run in my paddock ; ft was inlanuary, 1842 ; I drove one of my men up to Mr. Pearl's to fetch him ; he brought him to my paddock, where he re mained till the 24th of September. [The witness here handed to counsel an order for the delivery of the horse.] Whilst in the paddock, he hurt himself in trying to get into an adjoining field; he knocked some hairs off between the knee and the arm ; the skin was also broken. After the colt was taken away in September, 1842, I saw him at New market; it was in 1843. I believed it to be the same colt; it was my firm belief that it was so. I saw a, colt at Epsom, which I believe to be the same that ran at Newmarket. I did not myself deliver the colt to the man that brought the order for its delivery; I ordered one of my men to do so; I had no other colt on my premises at that time. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR- GENERAL—I deal in horses, and have done so for thirty years. lamby no means prosperous in business. I have been bankrupttwice and insol vent twice. On my first bankruptcy I did not pay any dividend. I don't know whether any dividend was paid in the second bankruptcy. I gave a satisfactory account on my insolvency. Mr. Hammond was one of my assignees. I know him well. I don't remember applying to him once to lend me 751. upon an order of a person of the name of Allen. I don't remember Mr. Hammond discovering that the money had been paid to me. I have not the least recol lection of the transaction. The JUDGE—You don't recollect whether 3 , 0 u cheated a man of 751. or not?—(Laughter.) Witness—l have no re collection of anything of the kind. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I do not recollect Mr. Allen's dealing with me at all. I remember a person of the name of Kingscote. I do not recollect representing to Mr.'Hammond, that Mr. Kingscote had left town without paying me for a horse I had sold him, and that he would return in a day or Ave. I swear that I never borrowed money of Mr. Hammond on such a representation. I have no recollection_ of anything , of the kind having. occurred. The JUDGE—I suppose I might venture to ask you whether you ever committed murder, perhaps you have no recolldc tion of it?--(Laughter.) Witness—No, my Lord. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I was in the habit of taking in horses at Finchley. Sanders was in my service ; so also was Fanny Page, Mrs. Humphreys, a person called Will York (I don't know his real name) and several persons whose names .I cannot recollect. The man whom I went with to fetch the colt, was Henry Sanders. Fanny slept in a room near the.box where the horse was put, but she is not here. I met the person who came for the colt at the gate; there were two men there together. Mr. - Masson is a next door neighbour of mine at Finchley. Fanny came into my service two or three times. I do not recollect her leaving me and marrying. I cannot say whether Fanny was at Finchley down to the month of February 1843. Re-examined, by Mr. CocK,BußN—The box which the horse was in was detached from the house. Fanny's window would look over it. The case was still proceeding when we went to press, and is expected to last at least another day, and probably two. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. The sessions at the Old Bailey were opened this morning by Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Alderman Sir C. Marshall, the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The CommoN SERGEANT briefly addressed them as to the nature of their duties. He said, the cases in the calendar were of an ordinary description, and idvolved no point of dfficulty. There was one case which, perhaps, would re quire more than ordinary attention, and that was the case of a man, who was charged with pushing a constable into a canal, with intent to drown him. By the Ist Victoria, the act of pushing a person into the water was made a felony. There was no other point in the calendar which required comment from him ; and he would, therefore,. remit theni to their duties. The Court then proceeded to swear the common jury. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Thomas Riley, a middle aged man of decent appearance, was charged (as entered'on the police sheet) "with attempt ing and endangering the life of his wife, by throwing her out of the second.:floor window of the house, No. 4, Dolphin court, Oxford-street." Thomas Wills, police-sergeant No 1, of the C division, stated that, yesterday morning as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he heard an outcry and springing of a rattle, in Dolphin court, and on proceeding there he found that the prisoner's wife:had been carried into the passage of the house, N 0.4, and she was there lying on the floor, and seemed to be very severely injured. Witness was informed by some of the in mates of the house that the female had been thrown out of the second-floor front-room window (the apartment they occupied) by the prisoner, and had fallen on to the flag pave ment of the court. She came down feet foremost. Witness asked her if she persisted in her statement that the prisoner had thrown her out of the window. She said she did, and he accordingly took him into custody. The prisOner appeared to have been drinking slightly, but the wife was actually in toxicated; she was taken to Middlesex Hospital, but refused to I allow herself to be examined by the house-iurgeon, or to remain there. She was in consequence removed back to her lodging, but this morning she was so much worse that she was obliged to be again conveyed to the hospital. Since then she persists in stating that she jumped out of the window herself, and that the prisoner had nothing to do with it. A certificate was produced of the wife being in Middlesex Hospital, suffering from the injuries she had sustained, but which, under the cir cumstances, are surprisingly slight. The mother of the deceased said she was quite sure the prisoner did not throw her daughter out of the window. He was, therefore, for the present allowed to go at large. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

Much interest continues to be taken in the state of the grain trade. Fine showers having been experienced in al most all the principal parts of the country, speculation in foreign wheat has been somewhat checked. Still, however, there is no doubt entertained that the arrivals of foreign grain before the autumn will be very considerable from the Continent, as well as from Canada and the United States. It appears from the accounts received this morning from Mauritius that the trade there had been in some degree in jured by the apprehension that the hay and corn crops have been damaged by the long continued drought that has pre vailed in many sections of the United Kingdom. Still, for the , autumn trade in British manufactures, considerable ex pectations are entertained that there will be a most abundant demand for cotton and woollen fabrics for exportation. Yarns have been in fair request of late. There have not been any accounts from the Colonies this morning, with, the exception of ship-letters, which are of old dates. Although there has not been any business of importance transacted in the funds this morning, a strong tendency to decline is exhibited in the prices. Consols for the Account have fallen from 981 to 981, but they have since rallied to 984. A large delivery of stock is expected to-morrow. Re duced Three per Cents. have been sold at 994 ; Exchequer Bills at 735. to 755. premium, and India Bonds 945. premium. Bank Stock for the Account has been sold at 1984 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1021. • The payment of the dividends upon the Spanish Three per Cents. were commenced this morning, but the market for this stock is notwithstanding heavy, at 3211. The Five per Cents. have fallen from 221 to 22j. The half-yearly interest upon Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., and upon Portuguese Converted: Bonds, are also in course of liquidation to-day. Money is easy in the Foreign Market. The Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. have been quoted at 604 ex div..; Old Five per Cents. Portuguese at 801; the Colombian eXTenezuelan, at 131 1; and Mexican at 351 for the At:timer' The result of the interview to be had with'Sir Robert Peel and the Directors of the principal Railway Com panies, this afternoon, upon the subject of a Bill now before Parliament, for the future guidance of establishments of the description referred to in the measure in question, is looked for with interest. Any attempt to fetter the managers of the existing lines is held by them in consistent with the property they hold, but it is quite another and a most important question, as far as the public are con cerned, that all attempts at monopoly should be checked, and so it is hoped that the Parliament will, by stringent laws, de cide. A good deal of business has been transacted in the Share Market this morning, but at prices not differing much from those of Saturday last.

The hustings were erected rather to the left of the Chtt a ,r clk ~,, instead of being erected i n f ron t o f i t , as h ereto f ore .

The hour appointed for the commencer of the proceedings was two o'clock, but the • Pell began to assemble as ear l y as twe l ve o'clock, 7,ir by the time the proceedings commenced there could have been less than ten thousand persons assernb i Never have we known a meeting in Covent-garden lo be ,' numerously and more respectably attended, and the haviour of those present was beyond all praise. A 1 1 7 orderly,-well-condu c t e d assem bl y , never congrega t e d gether. At two o'clock precisely the High Bailiff took chair. On the hustings we observed T.

Davenport, Esq., late High Sheri Cheshire, James Coppock; Esq., Feargus O'Connor, Esq., several other gentlemen, supporters of the Liberal cause. The MGR BAILIFF, who was received with much cheer, then came forward and said, that having received a Lion from the householders, rate- payers, and electors of t i( City of Westminster, most numerously and respectv;,, signed, requesting him to convene the present meeting , ; had fixed upon that day for the purpose.—(Cheers.) object of the meeting was to petition Parliament to presei,, an address to her Majesty, pra,ing that she would graciously pleased to exercise the prerogative of her .
