urtb dXVitto G's —WANTED, z GENERAL MANAGER, thoroughly conversant with Gas affairs, competent to assist in organizing the staff cf gas inspectors and superintendents, and to Overlook the business arrangements of the company. Apply by letter, addressed to the Offices of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, No. 28, Coleman. street, City. FRANCE. The Patrie in mentioning the departure of M. Per signy, says:—" We do not know the precise na ture of the mission with which M. Persigny is charged, but we have reason to believe that it is connected with the grave complications of which Germany i 3 at this moment the theatre. His ab sence will not exceed three weeks." We find the following in the Patrie :—" In a poli tical saloon, the day before yesterday, a Spanish per sonage of distinction stated positively that the collar of the order of the Golden-Fleece sent by Queen Isabella to the President of the Republic is the same as was worn by the ex-King Louis Philippe. It is well known that this order, which is usually given to crowned beads, is always returned at the death of the party pcssessing it, and the Orleans family having immediately sent it back to the Queen of Spain after the death of the King, it was the only one which Queen Isabella had at her disposal, and General Narvaez recommended its being sent to the President of the Republic." On Sunday an ascension, which exceeded in bold ness anything that has hitherto been attempted, took place from the Hippodrome. The Uranus, the balloon belonging to M. Poitevin, rose in the air, carrying in addition to the aeronaut three young females belong ing to the establishment, who were suspended from the car. They had wings affixed to their shoulders, and appeared as if flying in the air. Their ascent was hailed with shouts by the immense concourse of persons assembled, but a feeling of terror seemed to predominate at seeing the females suspended in mid air, without anything apparent to support them. After being about au hour in the air; the entrepid aeronauts alighted in safety on a plain near Villejuif. A murder was the day before yesterday com mitted in the Faubourg Poissonniere, which is the more melancholy, as the victim is a young man of ex atelier] tcharacter, and innocent o f the crime which the perpetrator intended to revenge. A journeyman locksmith had for some time carried on a guilty intrigue with the wife of a fruiterer residing in the above street, and, not content with that, he was con stantly insulting the husband. On Sunday he came into the shop of the fruiterer with a young man, em ployed in a warehouse in the neighbourhood, and after drinking two or three glasses of brandy began his insulting remarks to the husband. On leaving the shop with his companion, the fruiterer took up a knife, followed them, and blinded by his passion, stabbed the innocent young man, and killed him on the spot. GERMANY. Letter 3 from Frankfort of the 12th inst., in the Deutsche Zeitung, state that a favourable crisis has intervened in the affairs of Electoral Hesse.. The Duke of Nassau has been at Wilhelmsbad and Rumpen helm, and although Count Thun hastened to coun teract the Duke's advice, it still appears that his re presentations have made some impression on the Elector. Baron Dornberg, the Hessian agent at the Prussian Court, has been sent with a letter to Berlin, and it is thought that good hopes may be founded on the crntents of that letter, since it is notorious that M. Ita3senpflug was not consulted on the subject. M. Ilasser;pflug and Count Thun appear greatly discon certed, and violent recriminations are said to have passed between the Elector and his would-be ad• visers. Tne Zeitung fur Nordthutschland, of the 12th nstani, announces another Ministerial crisis in Hanover. The present Cabinet are awaiting their dismissal, and a new Ministry is forming under the auspices of Mr. Detmold (late Member of the Frank fort Paliament, Minister to the Regent John, and Hanoverian agent at Frankfort), and Mr. Linde mann, It appears the crisis was brought on by a diversity of opinion on the Hessian question, and respecting the so-called Federal resolution of the 21st of September. Mr. Salve, the Hanoverian:Fremier, and his colleagues wished to oppose that resolution ; they declared that they must resign their posts unless the King consented to protest against the Frankfort resolution. The conduct of the King after this de claration was such that the formation of a Cabinet under Detmold and Lindemann may be hourly ex pected. Mr. Salve and his colleagues are drawing up a memorial. An extraordinary edition of the Deutsche Zeitung contains a notice (the authenticity of which is, how ever, open to much doubt) affirming that the Elector of Hesse-Cassel abdicated on that thy. DENMARK AND THE DUCEHES Accc:unts have teen recEived from the seat of war to the I2th. No movement had taken place in either army, hut the Danes were sarrounding Tonningen with entrenchments. RUSSIA. " Letters from St. Petersburgh," says the Bulletin de Paris," announce that the Empress, being indis posed from the efFccts of the climate of Russia, her physicians have ordered her to pass some months in Italy. She is to set out in a few days for Florence. It is said that she is to reside in one of the houses belonging to the President of the French RPpublic." THE LATE QUEEN OF THE • BELGIANS. OSTEND, OCT. 14.—The King left this morning, at eighfio'clock, for Lacken, accompanied by Queen Arnelie.and all the afflicted members of the family, together 'with some of the Cabinet Ministers. At half-pait nine the clergy proceeded from the church to the. 'palace, into which they were immediately admitted. A little delay took place front some of the -"arrangements not being completed. In the meantime, the different societes or cor poration 4, with their banners in mourning and reversed, began to assemble in the immediate neigh bourhood rf tha Rue Longue, where the palace is situated. The Garde Civique and the few trcops in garrison' lined the streets. At half-past 10 o'clock the first roll of the muffled drums was the signal for the departure of the precession. which moved through the Place d'Arutes to the railway station in the fol lowing-order :—The societes, with their bands of music and characteristic flags, &c. ; the gen darmerie; the clergy, with tea Bishop of Bruges' at their head ; the hearse, drawn by six horses., but so plain as to be distinguished only from an ordinary one by the crown placed on the top; directly behind was the chief mourner, the Duke of Saxe -Coburg Gotha, husband to the Princess Cle mentine; then came- the Ministers of War and Public Works, and other members of the household, among whom were Generals Gabelet and Cruquem• bourg; the civil and military authorities, &c. These were followed by four royal carriages, in the first of which were the Dames d'llonneur who had been in attendance on her late Majesty; the procession was closed by the gendarmerie and troops of the line. On arriving at the station the coffin, which was of simply 'polished mahogany, was lifted out of the hearse and placed upon a moveable chapelle ardente, constructed on the railway, and into which a few of the clery- entered. Two first-class carriages, co vered with blank, were attached to it, and the whole hurl a singularly striking and touciiing effect. As soon as the De -Profundis had been sung the gloomy convoy moved nois4-lessly on amid the sound of can non and volleys of musketry. It will stop and be met by th clergy,tbefore it reaches Lacken, at Bruges, Termoode, and Mali-nes. STATE OF TRADE: (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) lis.schEsTEß, TITBsDAY.—The Bi:mbay merchants continue - their operations in yarns suitable for that quarter, at an advance cf 1. t.) id. per lb. upon the tviotationS of this day week. The buyers for the European continent, howe er, still confine themselves to the e:xeFution of stnall orders for the supply of the imme4ate wants cf th e i r cu s t o mers. The latest le tters received from the Leipsic fair scarcely come up to the . expectations previously formed, in regard to sarlas: it seems, therefor'. to be expected that file inanufa•,;turers persevere in their cautious policy of buying only "from hand to mouth ;" ,but,as their eupoli7 a e l' v e scanty, and the de mand Cott,heir cloths ii.oo A d b , e - their purchases from our spinners necessaray more tfarongh the winter, which su much the l i i s ith at f tended with es compared little diffiCulty now, Hardly anything has been - done to-day tae loweru in years. and mediuM counts of warps and ceps, by the facturersin this district, whom a losirg trade is driv ing to .a lessened consumption. Prices are firm in bundlcs ;, in warps and cops thPre is a bias against the producerS, though the qui:itations ::.re generally un charged. Doubled yarns are still neglected; and there is less doing in the finer numbers of single, which have hitherto been in great request for York shire and Russia. The Bombay merchants are still purchasing skirtings and madapollams where their terms are acceded to, which, however, are such as are calculated lo force on a diminution of the production to a greater extent than it has yet been carried, un less the approaching Calcutta mail should lead to an improvement. An increasing resort to the same measure by the makers of °that goods seems in evitable, from the ruinous state of prices. The Greeks are further diminishing their business (srmll as it has latterly been), in consequence of 2 decline of prices at Conitananople, 'resulting mainly from advices of an unfavourable turn in the Manchester market. Rocruiax.E, Morintor.—The market has been some what like Oa se ion ut the year, dull and heavy, and the amount bf basii.eiiictransacted has been more li- mted. We hero hcd a quiet wool market also; though there has net been much doing, fanner prices have been fully maintained. 'MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is less animation perceptible amongst the manufacturers here, but this is accounted for by the circumstance that we are now between the seasons, when it is invariably a dull time, generally taken advantage of by the manufacturer to make an alteration of styles, which alteration,• we understand, is being carried out with considerable spirit by some of our leading houses. The throwaters continue well supplied with work, and all the mills are in full operation. In some quar ters a scarcity of hands is felt. No increase in stocks is perceptible. In the raw silk market there is no alteration from our last. The clearances continue on an, unprecedentedly large scale, which gives a very firm tone to the market. HUDDEESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for fancy woollens and the better class of plain woollens con tinues to be rather slow in our market. We have had many buyers in the town to-day, but the ex changes have not been heavy. Fancies of the newest styles, and thick checks for the home trade, are the most in demand at present. The shipping trade has been dull with the exception of one or two American houses. Yarns are in good request. Low wools continue to maintain a good price. Haurax, SATURDAY.—There has not been a large attendance of buyers at our Piece Hall to-day ; and the slackness, before noted, in the demand for worsted goods continues about the same. There is no change in yarn. The merchants are still holding back for lower prices ; but there is an expectation that they will be obliged to come into the market at the cur rent quotations. There Ka moderately steady busi ness doing in wool, and the staplers are firm holders at late rates. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—On Saturday last, there was a good attendance of buyers at the hall, and a fair amount of goods suitable for the winter season were shown; but to-day the markets have been dull. Stocks still continue low, and prices are firm. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. Yesterday afternoon aspecial general Court of Commissioners was held at the office in Greek-street, Soho, for the purpose of taking into consideration the by-law proposed for the adoption of the Court by Mr. L. Laws, respecting the drainage of new buildings erected within the jurisdiction of the Commission, and on other business. . . It was deemed advisable by the Commissioners to convene a special court for the reception of the pro posed by-laws; as their adoption was likely ma terially to affect the efictual drainage of the metro polis, in order that buil3ers might receive sufficient notice of the decisive step about to be taken, and avoid the penalties which the Court was empowered to en- force. Sir J. Burgoyne took the chair. Present—Captain Dawson, Mr. Hardwick, Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., Mr. E. Lawes, Mr. T. Hawes, and Mr. Hardwick. Mr. E. LAWES moved the adoption of the by-laws of which he had given notice at the last general court, referring to the returns required of plans of house drainage, in the case of houses to be built or rebuilt, and houses in the course of building cr rebuilding, and of houses already built but not occupied, and also in reference to the ordering of returns from dis trict surveyors under the Building Act, in pursuance of the 11th and 12th Victoria, chap. 112,sec. 47. These by-laws required that the plans a the proposed house-drainage should be sent to the principal office of the Sewers Commission 14 days previous to the construction cf any house or of its rebuilding. It required also, to a certain extent, the plans of the drainage of such houses as were already built, but not occupied, previous to the confirmation of the by-laws. The returns required should comprise the situation and construction of any water-closets, privies, or cess pools ; and the penalty to be enforced, in case of omis sion, was 51., in addition to 403. per diem in case of further offence. _ _ Mr. PETO said, referring to the length of time re quired in the notice, that it might appear a long one. The Building Act required only two days, but it should be borne in mind that in the case of the Build ing Act a simple notice to the district surveyor only was required, stating that the person giving notice intended to build certain houses. The Act itself already determined the thickness of the walls and the height of the stories to be erected; but, in the case of notices in reference to drainage, the level of sewers already existing; and various other circumstances, would have to be considered by the Commissioners; and these details would necessarily occupy consider able time. The case of the Building Act had already received the attentive consideration of the Commis sioners, and they had come to the conclusion that the length of notice required in reference to intended drains was not an unreasonable one, nor one which could on any ground be objected to, considering all the circumstances. Mr. Ifeauwicx observed that the difficulties anti cipated by the Commissioners were cases where large pieces of land were about to be laid out for building purposes. These pieces of land might perhaps com prise four or Eve acres, and might contain from 100 to 150 houses. The cases of all of these houses must come under the consideration of the Court; and the levels of the various sewers around them must be re ferred to with a view to their proper drainage. Under these circumstances he apprehended that 14 days' no tice was by no means too long a period for such in quiry and examination. Mr. LAWES said that in the case of houses at pre sent in the course of construction, or of houses com pleted after the confirmation of the by-law but not already inhabited, it was required that a notice of one month should be sent to the Commissioners'-office. The second by-law to which he should call the atten tion of the Court was one requiring returns of houses building or rebuilding, from the surveyors of districts —under the Building Act—according to the returns made to them, as already provided for. The duty of making these returns was imposed upon the district surveyors under the 47th section of the Metropolitan Building Act, which made it imperative upon them to make such returns under a penalty of Si. Mr. HARDWICK seconded Mr. E. Lawes'motion for the adoption of these by-laws. After some discussion as to the propriety of re• ceiving them on so short a notice, the Court deter mined that the by-laws should be formally accepted and presented for the confirmation of a Court, con sisting of ten Commissioners (as required by the Act), on Friday, the 6th of December next. DRAINAGE Of PRIVATE PROPERTY. Mr. PLTo said that, in reference to the drainage of Church-street and Carrier-street, St. Giles's, he might observe that the works recommended were al ready in course of execution. The cost of those works was levied upon the property itself, and he wished the fact to become generally known that per sons possessing property in a similar condition to that in Church-street and Carrier-street, St. Giles's, would be assessed in a similar manner in default of their forming a proper system of drainage. The Com mission was determined that, having once decided upon the general system of the arterial drainage of London, they would turn their attention, as even now it was their duty to do, to these districts where pri vate property wr.s inefficiently drained ; and in cases where drainage was not properly carried out they would, in default of the execution of the necessary lorks by the owners, drain them, and the whole ctht would be levied upon such prope: . ty. This was afict which could not be sufficiently promulgated amongst persons owning house property. Mr. HARDWICK observed that in reference to the. new regulations as to payments adopted by the Com mission, a slight error, and no doubt an inadvertent one, had been sent forth to the public. Tne report stated that as much delay was caused by the present system, which required six Commissioners to sign the cheques for sums to be paid, one Commissioner was appointed to examine the accounts, and after wards sign the cheques. The fact was that the delay caused by the necessity of six Commissioners signing the cheques had induced . the Court to require the signature of only one Commissioner; that before the accounts reached the gentleman appointed they had passed the Finance Committee, and had been duly audited. The Commissioner appointed had to ascer tain that the cheques signed by him were perfectly in accordance with the sums passed by the Finance Committee and the Auditors ; and, as a further se curity, the seal of the Court was affixed to each cheque. The following votes were then confirmed by Court : The construction of 1,600 feet of sewer at Ball's pond on payment into court by the Cutlers' Company of 4SI. at an estimated expense of 960/. of 2,090 feet of sewer from James-street along York-street, across the Broadway and Tothill-street, at an estimated expense of 2,194/. ; of 1,770 feet of brick sewer, 4 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 9 inches, along the Hamp stead-road, estimated cost 1,393/. 17s. 61.; the lower ing, straightening, and covering of the Hackney brook from below Stamford-bridge to Lorraine-place, at an estimated cost of 9,8561.; 734 feet of sewer, 4 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, and 366 feet of sewer, 3 feet 6 inches by 2 f eet 6 i nches, i n t h e H a ckney-road, at an estimated cost o f 600/. ; 134 f ee t of sewer, 4 feet 9 inches by 3 f eet , and other wor k s i n B-11-street, Shadwell, at an estimated cost of 2401. ; 1,260 feet of sewer, 4 feet by 2 feet 6 inches, in Brook-street, Rat cliffe, at an estimated cost of 780/. ; the laying down n ir t e h s e e - n E t e a d s a i n t a nr reference t r i e n n l e a e t ed t c t o h s i t s of re t s u s r / n . of 150 feet of 12-inch pip e sewer i n Wal b urgh-stree t, o St. T G h e e o r r e g p e o t . was as follows : " DRAINAGE OF UPPER HOLLOWAY, LOWER ROLLO• WAY, STOKE NEWINGTON, AND liIGHBURY. " The Hackney brook forms a natural outlet for the drainage of Upper Holloway, Lower Holloway, Stoke Newington, and Highbury, and runs through a dis trict likely to be thickly built over. " The present defects as a drain arise from its course being very crooked, the depth being too small THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY to drain the district. The inclination is very irre gular, and the form of its sides and bottom is very rugged and imperfect. " It is proposed to straighten its course, giving it a clear inclination of 8 feet per mile, to increase its depth below the surface from about 5 feet to 13 feet, and to invert its bottom from a point 1,500 feat below Stamford-bridge to Lorraine-place, Holloway, a dis tance of three miles. The invert will be so formed as to constitute the bottom of a covered susver of the average height of 7 feet ; the level of the invert being at the upper end 75 feet above the Ordnance datum, and that at the lower end 51 feet, falling in 3 miles 24 feet. _ "From this point to the lower end to the part pro posed to be improved, the distance to the outfall of the Hackney-brook into the river Lea will be 3i miles, so that the proposed improvements terminate about 3} miles, from the junction of the brook with the river Lea, and at an elevation of 36 feet 6 inches above Trinity high watermark, so that it will not be in any way affected by the proposed alteration on the river Lea. He recommended that the proposed invert be formed of blue metal bricks from Tarn worth or Stafford, which will increase the estimate from 5,600/. to 7,9001. This is under the conviction that this will continue to form the main line of sewer from this populous district; and it appears to me that the substitution of hard durable bricks will form a saving in the end. As regards the necessity for the execution of these works it may be stated that the improvement in the drainage of Holloway (at present so much complained of)depends entirely upon the pro pcsed alteration iu the Hackney-brook, and that until such alteration is effected the state of Holloway must necessarily remain as it is at present, not being suffi ciently deep to form an outlet for its drainage. FIANK FORSTEIL."..; Following this report was a more recent one, re commending that the proposed line of sewer should be covered, as the earth in its course was loose, and some difficulty would be experienced in keeping the sides in order. The work would be a part of the general system of drainage of the metropolis, and the increase of cost upon the original estimate would only be 2,0001., making altogether 9,856/. The report was agreed to, and a vote passed, order ing the commencement of the works. It was stated by Mr. E. Lawes that the works or dered for the drainage of Sydenham would be charged entirely upon that district, and that due notice of their execution would be given, in order to allow time for any objections which might be made. After transacting some ordioary business the Court then adjourned. CITY SEWERS. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of bu siness. Deputy Peacock presided. After the reports of the inspectors of pavements had been severally read, Mr. RICEIARD TAYLOR said that he wished to in quire of the inspectors whether they had reported upon all the obstructions which existed in the public way ; if not, he wished to hear why they had not done so. The officers replied that there were in some places sign-boards and other projections which stood out into the public way to some few inches beyond the existing rule. Most of them, however, were of long standing. They considered it undoubtedly their duty in all fresh instances of the kind to report such en croachments, and this they had done from time to time. Mr. B. TAYLOR considered it to be the duty of the inspectors to report in every instance ; he did not think they ought to omit the cases of undue pro jections of long standing. The system was an unfair one. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR hoped the Court would be care nc,t to "fish in troubled waters." He. thought if the public did not complain, that they had no right, LS cornmisioners, needlessly to interfere. Mr. R. TAYLOR could not agree with the last speaker. He should continue to press the subject upon the attention of the Court. PREVENTION OF FURTHER POLLUTION OF TUE THAMES. The CLERK having read the following motion, put upon the paper of business by Mr. J. Morris, viz : "That Mr. Beardmore's plan to prevent a further pollution of the River Thames be referred to the Committee o❑ Health, for them to report upon the practicability and adaptation to the object desired," The CHAIRMAIN said that as one of the City repre sentatives of that court in the Metropolitan Commis sion, he wished to state that he felt it to be his duty to submit to Mr. Morris whether it would not be better if he (Mr. 'Morris) were not to press his motion at that time. The reasons which had induced him (the Chairmen) to suggest this course were these—the commissioners for the metropolitan district, with whom, he was most happy to say, himself and his colleagues were most harmoniously acting, had received end carefully examined upwards of a hundred and forty different plans, and they were now endeavouring, under the advice of Mr. Frank Forster, the engineer, and Mr. Haywood, the surveyor to the City Sewers Commission, to adopt some scheme which they hoped would fully answer the purpose— (Hear, hear)—and that both for the city of London and the metropolis generally. No doubt Mr. Beardmore's plan was a good one, but he (the chair man) thought that under the circumstances they had better not interfere. Mr. MORRIS had attentively examined Mr. Beard more's plan, which he regarded as being both simple and efficient; as to the motion, the. Court might deal with it as it thought proper. It was finally agreed that for the present the mat ter should be dropped, Mr. Morris receiving a dis tinct understanding from the chairman that at any future time he might re-introduce the question. NEGLECT OF STREET CLEANSING. One of the street-cleansing contractors, named Dod, was fined 201. for neglect of duty in the case of twenty streets, on the 7th of October last, the Court having determined in all such violations of the con tract to inflict the maximum fine. No report as to the state of the health of the City was made by the medical officer.—Adjourned. MURDER AT BoNEIT, IN LINCOLNSIIIRE.-OR the evening of the 7th inst., an affray took place at the small village of Booby, near Barton-upon-Humber, which has re sulted in the death of a young man named Robert Sinderson. The deceased lived close to the cottage occupied by one Robert Meggitt, an old man 72 years of age, and said to be of violent temper and quarrelsome manners. On the evening in question the son and grandchildren of Meggitt, who occu pied a room in the same cottage, were awoke by a loud noise in the apartment below, whch arose from Meggitt's ill treatment of his wife. They called for assistance, and the deceased coming in rescued the wife and held the old man down upon the bed. The latter, however, managed to elude his grasp, and, taking up a long clasp-knife, plunged it into the body of the deceased up to the haft. Poor Sindc.rson walked home, but his wound was found to be of a very se rious nature, the bowels being lacerated and protruding so seriously that they could not be reduced ; and, after lingering for a few days, he expired in great agony. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" re turned against Meggitt, who has accordingly been committed to Lincoln for trial. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Edwards and James Meek were brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having endeavoured to excite a revolt on board her Majesty's cutter Gossamer, on the Dutch coast. The prisoners bad been brought home in irons. Mr. Swainson, from the office of the Solicitor to the Admiralty, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Wontner appear: d for the prisoners. The following is the essential part of the evidence, which was detailed at considerable length : W. D. Hall, second master in her Majesty's navy, and commander of her Majesty's cutter Gossamer, said—The prisoners were able seamen on board the Gossamer, which was at the time I speak of surveying on the coast of the Netherlands. I believe them to be under martial law. I hired them both in her Majesty's service. On the 16th of September, about eight in the morning, the vessel was lying in the port of Nieudiep, in the Netherlands. Edwards advised the crew to come aft to me on the quarter-deck. I went on deck and found the crew there. One of the crew, named Widyer, said he thought himself not properly treated, upon which the prisoner Edwards turned round and demanded his discharge of me. I remonstrated with him and the rest of the crew, and explained to them the folly of such conduct, mentioning at the same time that the ship bad been robbed of two muskets, which formed part of her ammunition. They said they were sorry for it, or something to that effect; and I said, perhaps when we overhaul the vessel we shall find the fourth jib gone. Upon hearing which the prisoner Meek became so violent that some of the other men were obliged to hold him back. Speaking of me and pointing at me, he said, let ins at —. Edwards, pointing at Meek said, " I know what that man is if he gets from the men," meaning, as I believed, that he had no command of himself. To avoid the vio lence with which I considered myself to be threat ened, I took refuge in the cabin. I was compelled to leave the quarter-deck for my personal safety. While in the cabin, or adjoining it, I heard Edwards re mark that he would be d—d if he would go to sea in the ship, or if he did he would not work, neither would he let me, and he said at the same time, if I took him to sea he would throw me overboard as I was heaving the log. The position in which I daeuld be in throwing the log would be with my back to the crew, so that I could be thrown over the gunwale. I then went on deck and desired them to go to their duty. The prisoners remained amongst the men as I had no means of shutting them up. All returned to their duty except Edwards. Meek returned to his duty, but observing that he was not sober I recommended him to go to bed. I next directed the men to go to breakfast. After breakfast I allotted each man his work, when Edwards, corning up and seeing Widyer at work, put himself in a box ing attitude, and tried to excite him to go ashore and fight. I ordered Widyer to go below to avoid any injury, and Edwards then demanded his discharge, swearing that he did not care a for me or all the consuls on shore. I replied, " You are in a foreign port, and I cannot discharge you without sufficient funds to pay your passage home, besides which your services are required here to take the vessel back to England." 11e went below, and said he would be if he would go in the vessel, because he knew that when we got to Grimsby I should impri.on him. Finding that he could not get his discharge, be called Meek, and said he would not go without his old chummie (Meek), and then both of them went down, packed up their things, and brought them on deck, demanding of one their register tickets. I told them again I would not discharge them, and Edwards said he was discharged by me ; and when told by Mr. Jones, the master's assistant, that I had done nothing of the kind, he said the assistant was a-- liar. At that moment Meek attacked another of the crew, named John Webb, whom I was obliged to send, bleeding at the ear, out of the ship, to avoid further I violence. After this transaction, the remainder of the crew told me they did not think it safe to go with the vessel if those men remained, and I obtained the as. sistance of some Dutch soldiers, and had the pri ' Boners conveyed to the guard ship, which lay near the Gossamer. - Mr. Swainson did not think it necessary to go par ticularly into evidence regarding the temporary dis appearance of two muskets which belonged to the Gossamer, as there appeared to be no ground for sup posing that they had been taken away with a felonious intent. W. Widyer, an able seaman on board the Gossa mer, said that Meek was drunk on the occasion of the disturbance, and wished to leave the vessel because he considered himself accused of having stolen the muskets ; and as for Edwards, who was not at all so drunk, he had given no reason at all for his conduct. They both said, if the commander did not give them their discharge, they would heave the log with him. Alderman Gurus—What did they mean by that ? Witness—That I can't say. Alderman GIBBS—What do you understand by that ? Did they mean anything good to the com mander by it ? Witness—No, not at all. Alderman GlBB3—What were the words they used to the best of your recollection ? Witness—They said they would heave the log with him before they got to England. Alderman GIBBS—And what do you suppose they meant by those words ? Witness—Why, they meant that they would heave the commander overboard along with the log.—(A laugh.) Something of that kind I suppose they meant. Edwards tried to prevail upon Webb to pack up and leave the vessel, and was generally a quarrelsome man, but Meek was a very different sort of person, and had been well conducted until Monday, the 16th of September. Mr. Swainson—Did you hear either or both of them threaten the commander ? Witness—No. I heard them swear at him but not threaten him. They were both under the influence of liquor at the time. Certainly Meek did not know what he was about. They wanted to get in a stock of provisions. Ido not think there was any fear that they wanted to run away with the ship or the commander ; and I do be lieve that if they bad not been tipsy they would not have acted as they did. Robinson, another of the seamen on board the Gossamer, .said he recollected a bit of a dust on board . on the day specified, when Meek was not sober, and Edwards was well sprung and rather rusty. Ed wards threatened to heave the log with the com mander, that is, to heave him overboard. Edwards swore a little. Alderman Ginns—What do you believe was the cause ? Witness—Drink. Mr. Wontner—Does not the commander swear sometimes ? Witness—Why, no, I can't say he swears much. Mr. Wontner—Well, does he not swear a little sometimes ? Witness—Well, he may swear a little. --(Laughter.) I never heard him. Mr. Swainson said he must admit that the evidence did not go to the extent of proving the existence of that sort of conspiracy which was necessary to estab lish tbe charge of exciting to revolt ; but he submitted that quite enouo had been shown to satisfy the bench that dangerous insubordination had existed. Mr. Wontner said the prisoners • never had enter tained the most remote idea of exciting to revolt. They were, in fact, two Yarmouth fishermen, who had been hired for duty in a Queen's ship, with the strict regulations of which they were not acquainted. They wanted to go ashore to get fresh provisions, to which they had been always accustomed; their pru dence left them, and they were met by the intern perate authority (if the commander, who was not dis posed to make any allowance for their former habits or condition. Alderman GIBBS said he would look over the de positions, and give his decision upon the case on Friday. SOUTHWARK. EXCESS OF VIOLENCE BY POLICEMEN. --Mr. Su perintendent Haynes, M division, attended for the purpose of acquainting Mr. A'Beckett of the result of inquiries instituted before the Commissioners of Police, and their decisions thereupon respecting the alleged violence exercised by two policemen of the M division, whose conduct in the first instance was brought under his (M. A'Beckett's) notice. The Superintendent said the first case related to a policeman named Wakefield, of the M division, who in taking a man into custody for an alleged breach of the peace, struck him a violent blow on the front part of his head with his truncheon. In the course of the inquiry into the circumstances in the first instance at this court, the; magistrate found it necessary to mark his disapprobation of the policeman's conduct on the police-sheet, and this led to a further investigation before the C o mmissioners, the result of which was that they suspended him from duty for a week, mulcting him of his pay for that period. The other case referred to another policeman, named Gingen, who took a man into custody for assaulting him, but when the circumstances were inquired into it turned out that the policeman committed the first assault himself, by knocking the man down on the pavement. The Commissioners had also suspended this man from duty, and he (the superintendent) had directions to muster the force under his command, and to apprise them of the decisions in the above cases, and to caution them that from henceforth if any policeman used un necessary violence in the execution of his duty, or produced his truncheon without there was absolute need of it, the Commissioners were determined on dis missing them altogether from the service. Mr.A'BECKETT said that he recollected both the cases referred to; that he was always desirous of pro tecting the police in the execution of their arduous INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. - - - - CASTLE ITEDINGIIAM o'clock, OCT. 10.—At teo'clockL last night the premises of Mr. John Chic:kali were discovered to be on fire and before the progress of the flames could be arrested the dwelling house, a barn containing the produce of seven acres of barley and three acres of peas, a wheat stack, two barley stacks, two hay stacks, end an oat stack, were reduced to ruins. The greater part of the household furniture, and most of the firming implements, were also included in the lamentable work of destruction, which we regret to learn there is little doubt was wilfully occasioned. The Foxearth subscription, Sudbury, and Melford engines were promptly con veyed to the spot, and Superintendent boy, with several constables, was in attendance, three of the West Suffolk police from Melford being also present, hut notwithstanding all the exertions made to save the property, one barn full of wheat was all that could he rescued. The Rev. James Sperling, of Monk's Lodge, Maplestead, to whom the farm be longs, we are glad to learn, is insured, and Mr. Chickall's stock and crop, are similarly protected. Mr. Chickall and his daughter, the only inmates of the house, it appears had retired to rest about an hour and a half when the alarm was given. A stack of wheat straw, the produce of five acres, standing in a fidd in tho parish, and near the town of Keivedon, belonging to Mr. William Abbott, farmer, was fired about 4 r m. on Friday last, and tho whole was consumed. Two boys, named Howard and New man, each about 13 years of age, who were at work in a field near the stack, gave the alarm at a cottage a few minutes only after the light could have been ap- duties, but when they used unnecessary violence in the discharge of it, as appeared in this instance, it was requisite for the public safety that the parties should meet with such punishment as they deserved ; and he was glad that he had called the Commissioners' attention, by the remarks he considered it necessary to make on the police-sheet when the cases were first brought under his notice. THAMES. THE CASE OF ROCINA HERBERT.—A lady, one of several others, came forward yesterday to leave 1/. for the sempstress Rosins Herbert. Mr. YARDLEY—I do not know whether you have seen to-day's papers, and perhaps you are not aware that we have received a good deal too much on her account already. The consequences of bestowing donations so liberally on persons who have committed offences may be very serious. If you take my advice, you will bestow it upon some other object. Lady—ln that case, as I have another application, I will bestow it there. In two or three other instances where money was proffered, Mr. Yardley having made similar observa tions, the amount was ordered to be put to the general poor fund. An acknowledgment of the following donations has been requested :—J. 8., 103. ; A. Y., 10s.; 11., 10s.; C.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—According to the adjourn ment made on this day week, another investigation of these charges took place to-day. From the various statements and disclosures which have been made during the past week, the public anxiety to be pre sent at this investigation was very great, and long before the hour appointed for opening the court there was a large number of persons present; and it was with the utmost difficulty that the legal gentlemen, or the reporters, of whom there was a pretty strong muster, could obtain seats. _ _ _ At five minutes to eleven o'clock a cab drove up, containing the prisoners Sirrell, M'Auley, and IVPGuire. They were immediately put into the dock in chiage of an officer of the county police, and one of the turnkys of Kirkda le. They did not appear the least altered. Sirrell had a small carpet-bag, which he carried into the dock with him. Both M'Auley and M‘Guire wore travelling caps, Soon after eleven o'clock the magistrates began to take their sects on the bench. There were present J. A. Harden, Esq., chairman; J. B. Yeats. David Hodgson, J. B. Moore, J. T. Bourne, R. Theak stone, J. B. Barclay, J. A. Tinne, and J. Rosson, Esqrs. The prisoners were defended by the same legal gentlemen as appeared for them on the last examina tion—namely, Mr. Lewis, solicitor, London, for Mr. Sirrell ; and Mr. Simon, barrister, for M'Auley and M'Guire. Mr. Dowling - prosecuted. _ . The proceedings to-day were commenced by read ing over the depositions taken before the magistrates on this day week. John Lund sworn—ls an inspector of the detective police in London. Remembers the 2d of October. ‘Vent on that day to the corner of Barbican, Lenge lane, No. 5-1, occupied by the prisoner Sirrell. I there saw a person whom I knew to be in the em ploy of the London and North-Western Railway enter the shop of 54, with two parcels under his arm and a book in his hand. Followed in immediately behind him. Sirrell was standing near the counter when we entered. The porter placed the two parcels in Mr. Sirrell's hands. Mr. Sirrell, on looking at them, handed them over to a person whom he culled Jobe, behind the counter, at the same time telling him to pay two shillings on one of the parcels—the smaller and the lightest one of the two. The delivery book was then handed by the porter for Mr. Sirrell to sign. Mr. Sirrell then handed it over to John to sign for the delivery. He did so, and handed over the book, with two shillings, to the porter. The porter then left the shop, and John then placed the two parcels at the side of the desk on the counter. At that moment the officer, Kehoe, from Liverpool, with Sergeants Witcher and Shaw, of the London detectives, entered the shop. I immediately bent over the counter and took possession of the two parcels, and pointed out to Kehoe where Mr. Sirrell had gone to, which I after wards found to be the counting-house. Followed after them with the two parcels, and said to Sirrell, " You must be present when I open these." Was then in the counting-house. Sirrell said, "No, no, one of my young men will do. I will have nothing to do with it." At that time we had walked from the counting-house to the other shop, which I be lieve is in a line with the counting-house. It is not the shop by which we entered. Placed the two parcels on the counter and commenced undoing them, when Sirrell immediately left and walked back to the countinghouse. I then called out and said I must insist upon his being present when these parcels were being opened. The officer Kehoe then went and brought him back to the counter. I then opened the parcels. Sirrell, Kehoe, and Sergeant Shaw, of the London detective police, were present, and there might have been one of the shopmen present. Gave the parcels over to the officer Kehoe. Saw the parcels. They were plate. One parcel was in a tin canister, wrapped in paper. After I had opened the parcels I said to Sirrell, "Have you any letter from Liverpool this morning ?" Mr. Simon here said that he objected to such evi dence as regards M'Auley. The CouaT—lt is no evidence against M'Auley of Course. Witness—Mr. Sirrell stepped back three or four paces, made no reply, but brought a letter which wit ness afterwards handed over to Kehoe. The letter was handed to witness, which he identified. Asked Sirrell if he knew the person who wrote the letter. He replied that he thought not ; hut that he had had 2.0 transactions with him. Witness th en conveye d him to the King - street Police-statio n , Westminster. The letter was open when he saw it. Cross-examined by Mr. Simon —Was not five miles from John. Sirrell handed the parcels to John. Cross-examined by Mr. Levois—Kehoe had not the opportunity of hearing all that he did. Kehoe could not see what took place in the shop before he entered. Cannot say what Kehee said when he went into the co unting-house. Did not follow in immediately. Was not close enough to hear what passed. The letter w as handed to witn ess w i t h out hesitation. The par cel was opened by witness. Before the parcel was opened, can t say whether I told him under what cir cumstances I took possession. He said he would call the police in. The place of business is extensive, and contains a large amount of property. Witcher had not the same opportunity of seeing what passed as witness had. Llewellyn Roberts—Resides in Everton, near Li verpool. Is a mercantile clerk. Has known the pri soner 3,1`. , \ uley for 20 years or more. Has seen him write frequently, but not for 12 years. Identifies the writing as that of M'Auley. Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Has a good me mory. _ _ _ Cioss.examined by Mr. Lewis—Has seen jewellery in his shop in Bassett-street, but knows nothing of ' his dealing in . plate. C. I(ehoe recalled (sworn)—Has some letters in his possession which he got in Sirrell's counting house, which he took off a file while Sirrell was present. - Cross-examined—Cannot say whether they were in the same state as they now appear. To Mr. Dowling—Removed the letters before he left the counting-house, and in presence of the prisoner. Mr. Roberts recalled, with the view of proving the handwriting contained in the number of letters now produced. Mr. Simon objected to their admission as affect ing the case of his client M'Auley, as their contents had no reference to the charge now under investi gation. The Chairman could no say so until he had exa mined the letters. Mr. Lewis was most anxious to lay before the Court every item of evidence both for and against his client. The whole of the letters were read by the clerk of the magistrates. One of them contained the follow ing in reference to Californian gold, of which the following is a copy : " No. 4, Hope, St. Jude's, Liverpool, Aug. 21. " Mr. Sirrell, " Sir,—l have forwarded some silver, about 38 cz , also some uncertain gold, which you will please to remit for as usual. I now wish to draw your atten tion to the enclosed 2oz. of Californian gold. It is a part of a large quantity which a friend of mine has brought with him to this port. He wishes me to have it assayed and the value ascertained ; please do so. Remit the value and a separate invoice. I imagine the party is trying for the best market, and please say if quantity is un object to you.—Yours respectfully, " Wm. M'AULEY. " The bank post bill came safe to hand." Mr. George Slee—ls a clerk in the money order office iu Liverpool. Produces a number of money - orders, six in all. They are orders sent from London to Lis erpool, and paid by witness at different (let( s. Recollects seeing the prisoner M'Auley. Cannot say where. His face is familiar to witness. The witness Roberts recalled—He said he believed the signature to the post-office orders were in the handwriting of M`Auley. Mr. Sloe's examination was resumed—He marks the orders as paid. The dates of the orders are three of the Bth of August, one of the 22d of August, and t s° cf the 13th of September. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Has no post-OM° order for 4/. 7s. 81 on the 30;11 of August; nor noY order for 2/. 13s. 11d. on the 221 of August; nor ail for 61. Os. 9d. on the 18th of July. Mr. Dowling—This closed his case, and be nol l asked for a committal. Mr. Dowling then proceeded with another charge against the prisoner Sirrell, for receiving stolen good 6 a table spoon, knowing it to be stolen. a Mr. Dowling stated the case, from which it appear ed that a robbery took place at the residence of the BO: Mr. Gardner Stanley on the 27th of July, from whio ° a quantity of plate was stolen, and out of which was ? certain silver spoon, which %%as found in Mr. Sirrell6 possession. Mr. Lewis objected to the case going on, unle ss Mr. Dowling would first state upon what grounds b c e intended to connect Mr. Sirrell with the robbery, an d having a guilty knowledge thereof. Thu Court briefly consulted, and ordered Mr' Dowling to proceed. William K. Karr—ls servant to the Rev. M r ' Gardner, who resides at Stanley Parsonage. Remora' bers the _l7th of July last. At a quarter-past One in the afternoon placed some plate on the dining-roo r l table. The bottom part of the window was shut 0 1 the top part open. Was not more than two minute s out of the room, bat did not miss till half•past o °l two table and one gravy spoon. The bottom part the window was open, when, missing the spoons' told his master. Has not seen the spoons since that time. The Rev. Thomas Gardner sworn—Resides a t Stanley, West Derby, in this county. Remember° the 17th of July last. Did not see the plats that dal until he sat down to dinner. Has seen part of it if, the hands of officer Kehoe. a gravy spoon. It broken in two, and marked S. H., with an initial. Spoon produced and identified by the witnesses. To Mr. Lewis—ls not acquainted with f o reiga silver. Cannot see the British lion on the spoon pr o ' duced. Officer Kehoe found the spoon produced in t ll3 prisoner's shop at Barbican on the 2,1 of October. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Does not ko ll , foreign silver from British. Cannot tell bow manyspoons were there; there might be 300 with cre st and marks obliterated. Mr. Simon addressed the Court on behalf 0 f M'Auley, and Mr. Lewis on behalf of the prisoner Sirrell. The Bench at once intimated that it was of opini °l ; that there was` i sufficient evidence to send the C as fur trial elsewhere. Mr. Lewis applied that his client should be nrii mitted to bail, as did Mr. Simon, on the part ° MCAuley, but the bench declined doing so.
