It seems that on the thirteenth day of this protracted investigation the gentleman by whom, on the part of the rate-payer, sit had been pro moted, received from Mr. GEORGE COODE, the Assistant- Secretary of the Poor- law Commissioners, a commu nication intimating their opinion, or their command— it is difficult to determine which of the two it is meant for—that the inquiry should he immediately terminated, although, as our rea:lers may be aware, the whole of the charges had not yet been entered into. But we will en deavour to connect the consideration of the letter and a resume of the principal features of the case in a plain and intelligible form. In our paper of yesterday we gave a summary of that case, from which it will be inferred that, assuming the general truth of the charges against WDOUGAL, the 'master of the union -house, which we do hypothetically, and for the mere purpose of the argument, the man must be unfit for the office. But this complexion of character is so far, however, from being very uncommon, among the class of men who solicit and voluntarily assume em ployments of that invidious nature which are necessarily connected with the restraint and management of congregated masses of paupers or of prisoners, that better-minded and comported men, in such positions, are the exceptions rather than the rule. We have met, here and there, with an intelligent, humane, and well conducted master of an union-house. Union-house masters, in all respects the reverse, obtrude themselves at every turn on the reluetant notice of the most casual observer. They are one of the staples which supply the large assortment of grievances, always in course of ex hibition at our Police-offices and Quarter-sessions in the country. Such a man it is, if he be unable to rebut in a court of justice the accusations which he has' been unable to disprove before a court of inquiry, whom the act of the Poor-law Commissioners is dragging into an unwholesome notoriety, a sort of momentary import ance, which his name never would have acquired, had they not thought fit, in the first place, on his behalf, in the course of the inquiry, to manifest, through their assistant PARKER, that spirit of partizanship which is always their besettim; sin ; and subsequently to cut that inquiry short, so far as depended upon them to do so, on the score of the in convenient length to which the proceedings had run. If Mr. PARKER exhibited something like incompetency for his position, Mr. Assistant-Secretary COODE'S epistle to Mr. WESTLAKE is an exhibition of delinquencies in grammatical composition, and in logic, such as would have " broken Pnesciate's head," and con fused the analogical acumen of BUTLER himself. The matter of the letter is of far more consequence than the manner in which the views of the Somerset ;lerase Commissioners are announced in it. Yet it is so rare to find a public functionary amenable to the charge of not being able to write an official dispatch without eemmitting errors that are shocking to Englishmen, who retain the prejudices of early education in favour of the indefeasihie rights of moods and tenses, that we caneut but express our surprise at the " style" of Mr. COODE., The very first sentence in this letter made us doubt whether we were not once more engaged in the perusal of one of those lucid reports of another Commission (now happily defunct) which were wont to announce the fate of Railway, No. 10, in Group X, or 110, in Group A. It states that the Commissioners " have had under consideration the length to which the inquiry at Andover has already extended," and that the suspense and outlay, to which botiz pa, ties interested in this in quiry have been exposed (as if M‘DouGen and Mr. WESTLAKE were equally candidates for the former's ap pointment) . . . " must be still further incurred, if the inquiry is continued in the same form. Mr. COODE'S notions of the distinction between the positive and the conditional, the subjunctive and the indicative, are the most vague we have yet met with : and a confusion proper to that character of vagueness pervades every passage in which it is necessary to employ the signs " of the one or the other. Thus—" It is needless to say that if the master is convicted by a jury . . . . the Commissioners would at once dismiss him." "If he is convicted on the second charge, he becomes disqualified, &c." But now to the matter of the letter. On the night of Tuesday, the evidence to the charges of drunkenness, preferred against M'llouGAL, was gone through. The nature of that evidence, it is clear from one paragraph in this letter, had been com municated to the Poor-law Commissioners the same night, or early on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday morning, at an early hour, Mr. WESTLAKE received their letter, submitting to the rate-payers the " option" of prosecuting M‘DouGai... Row happened they not to offer this " option" (trumpery and evasive offer as it is) at an earlier stage of the proceedings, the protraction of which their assistant secretary affects so much to regret. From the very first they had abundance of charge's of cruelty to go upon—afterwards of scandalous liberties taken with female paupers ; the charges of drunkenness had already spread over two or three days, and were only concluded on Tuesday night last. Is cruelty so much less a disqualification for the master of a workhouse in the eyes of the Commissioners than drunkeness ? Is libidinous solicitation of women under the care of such a functionary an offence so absolutely venial as to be altogether unworthy of their notice ? What is the true secret of the tardy perceptions of the Assistant Commissioners as to the bearing of the de pe&sitions, and of the gravity of the charges ; and of the precipitancy with which, before the accused can be heard on his defence, the Assistant-Commissioner and assessor of the evidence is withdrawn from his post ? And this brings us to our second hypothesis What if l‘I.DoucAE should hereafter be able to prove himself not guilty of the offences imputed to him ? How will the Somerset House Commissioners answer for the moral injury they will have done to him, by deserting him after so distinctly playing, through Mr. PARKER, the part of his counsel ? And when we speak of counsel and Mr. PARKER in connexion, we are curious to learn what Mr. PARKER'S notions may be of the respect due to members of the bar, or how he reconciles, with any of the usual modes of certifying that respect, his abrupt departure from Andover, without any previous intimation to the counsel retained by Mr. WESTLAKE of his inability (under orders from head-quarters) to redeem the pledge he was under to these gentlemen of concurring in cer• tain ulterior arrangements that had been made between them and himself for the future conduct of the case ? As to the letter of the Assistant-Secretary to the Com missioners, it is conceived in a tone of the most patro • nising superiority. Its evident intention is to throw upon the board of guardians the onus of the choice of legal proceeditq_s against M‘DotTGAE. If Mr. 'WESTLAKE and the Board would be guided by our advice, we should recommend them, in the first place, to require an apology from the Com m;ssioners for the discourtesy shown to themselves and to their counsel by Mr. PARKER'S conduct, and, in the second, DECIDEDLY TO DECLINE the option of prosecu tion, obligingly tendered to them by the Commissioners. Let the guardians leave M'DouGAL's case where it is. We undertake to predict that the Poor-law Commis sioners DARE NOT to do so. It is worth exactly the tenure of their offices at Somerset House to throw out such a challenge to public opinion, as to pause at the point to which they have committed themselves in the matter. The Bishop of OSSORY, at his annual visitation, held last week at Enniscorthy, is reported to have made the following remark :—" I should rejoice to see the Roman Catholic clergy provided for by the State, if it could be done without offending HIM by whom kings! reign ; but feeling it would be displeasing to HIM, I am bound to give such a proposition my most energetic opposition." The Roman Catholics hold nearly the same opinions of the Church in which this bishop officiates ; they call it a heretical Church, a church without the sanction of Divine authority, and a declared rebel agair.st the faith and canons handed down by the Apostles. The Free Church of Scotland regards both these Episcopal churches as unsound in their doc trines, and even the Kirk of Scotland, so long famed for the purity of its creed, and admired as the brightest essence of the Reformation, it pro nounces Erastian and consequently little en titled to the support of true Christians. It is needless to recount the religious opinions of many other churches, or point out the endless diversity which prevails. While men are suffered to exercise their private judgment, and adopt principles of belief consistent in their opinion with the Scripture, this diversity must necessa rily exist, and only proves the weakness of human nature. But we must protest against such presumptuous preten sions as those made by the Bishop of OSSOE.Y. By what authority does he know the will of " Bum by whom kings reign ?"—the authority which is open to all— which is consulted by Catholics and Calvinists, and Dissenters of all classes, and who are just as competent to form a correct opinion as a man dressed in lawn s'eeves and a mitre, who happened to study divinity at Trinity College, Dublin, or oiti of the English uni versities. It is a curious fact that no class rail more against blasphemy than the clergy, and that none are so guilty of this deadly sin. Were they to attend to the divine precepts which they profess to follow, and " judge not that they be not judged"—were they to practice that charity which is from above, and love their neigh bour as themselves, they would shun, as a heinous crime, every uncharitable opinion of their fellow- Christians, and thereby contribute to the accomplish ment of one great object of the Divine mission—" Peace on earth, and good-will among men." Madrid journals of the 4th have been received, but their contents had been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatch published yesterday. The stockbrokers continued their op position to the new system of finance adopted by Senor MoN, but, nevertheless, a good deal of business had been done on the Bourse, chiefly in the Three per Cents., with much fluc tuation. They had fallen at one time, within two days, from 32% to 31, and many anticipated they would yet be lower. A singular proclamation had been issued at Barcelona by the new Captain 7 General of Catalonia, General BRETON, which, according to the papers, had spread consternation through that city. The preamble of this bando says, that in the pre sent political state of Spain the ordinary laws are too mild to preserve her from the misfortunes with which she is threatened, and the articles decree—that all persons who shall conspire against the Government, the Constitution, or laws, shall be shot immediately their criminality is proved—that the use or detention of prohibited arms or weapons, including sword canes, and pointed knives, even those without springs, shall be severely punished—that every person without known means of subsistence, and also workmen who are found in public-houses during the hours of work, shall be punished as vagabonds—that all smugglers, with their accomplices and receivers, shall be severely punished, whatever may be their condition—that all robbers and thieves shall be promptly and exemplarily punished—that all gamblers, whatever may be their position in society, shall be treated as vagabonds, as well as all keepers of gaming -houses—that all arms shall be delivered up to the Aleades within three days, under severe penalties—that the use of bludgeons and staves is equally forbidden—that in case of any disturbance all persons in the employ of the Government shall imme diately repair to their chiefs, and be at the disposal of the superior authorities of Barcelona, to be placed in the fort of Atarazanas, or in any of the other towns and places. The principal topic of discussion in the Paris papers is the leasing of the Northern Railway lines. The Journal des Debats and also the Presse are satisfied with the result . The former, after expressing regret that the adjudication o f this line had been so long delayed, says :—" All men of right comprehension will find the terms of the contract satisfac tory. The conditions accepted by the Company contain clauses equally favourable to the State and the public. As to the period of thirty-eight years, one word will be sufficient to bring conviction of its moderation. The Chamber thought it was too short, and suggested forty-one years, yet the Com pany has acceded to this very term which the Chamber re jected. This fact alone is at once a reply to all that the spirit of party or bad faith may advance. In fine, in our opinion, there is every reason for congratulation in every respect on the conclusion, which places an undertaking so vast as this railroad in the hands of a Company whose power and solidity no one can dispute. This is what was required above all things for the security of the public, the interest of the State, and the benefit of the finances." "It is probable," adds the Presse, " that if the fusion of the companies had not taken place, the ardour of competition might have produced a di minution of a few years more. But would there have been a serious company ? Would there have been any guarantee against the inexplicable variatioes of the Bourse, against panics of shareholders, against the evil chances that may assail any enterprise of this importance and duration ? It is not too much to entertain doubts on the subject. In this point of view sensible and practical men will not regret that union has taken place, even should it cost a few years addi tional to the State, which besides always profits indirectly by the prosperous working of railroad lines." The National, however, takes a very different view, and asserts that the public have been robbed of an annual revenue of more than half a million sterling for 38 years by the blundering and stupidity of the Minister of Public Works. It thus endea yours to make good the charge : " The comparison of the two adjudications which took place yes terday within a few minutes of each other is worthy of note. For the northern line, M. de Rothschild had no competitor; the Mi nister alone had the power of forcing a serious reduction. In this position what has taken place ?—a diminution, scandalously irn perceptibl,.. For the Fampeux line, on the contrary, there was a serious competitor, and M. de Rothschild entered on it boldly, offering a diminution of 37 years from 75! And yet, notwith standing this enormous reduction, the adjudication slipped from him, and fell to the lot of his rival, still bolder than he. Thence follows this consequence, evident, undeniable, and clearer than the light of day—that if there had been for the northern line a competition of any kind whatever, if the Minister had thought fit to place in his sealed packet anything but the mockery of a maximum, M. de Rothschild would have consented to a consi derable reduction. Since he offered to take for half the time fixed by the Chamber the Fampoux line, which every one declared to be unproductive, he would certainly have taken the northern line also for half the maximum fixed by the Chamber, or 21 years, giving, as it is sure to do, the large rettlrns that every one knows. The difference between 21 and 38 is 17, and it is, therefore, 17 years' income that the Minister of Public Works has gratuitously, in other words, voluntarily abandoned. It is an annual revenue of eleven millions, according to his own calculation; of 121 ac cording to that of the Committee; of 13i according to our com putation; that he has gratuitously, in other words, voluntarily given up to MM. de Rothschild and his associates. Yes, if the Minister of Public Works had done his duty; if; in conformity with the positive wishes of the Chamber, he had called forth the competition which was wanting ; if, at least, he had not placed in his pocket the faculty of reduction intrusted to his honour, the State would not have suffered the enormous loss which it now suf fers; it would have effected a saving of about 200 millions, which are now going to swell the enormous fortune of certain opulent in dividuals."

They consist of a series of embodiments, by living figures, of sosre of the classic groups of ancient and modern art; among which we may specify Belisarius, Hector and Andromache, Ajax struck by the Lightning, Van Harlem's Massacre of the Innocents, David's Sabine', Capaneus struck by the Lightning, Cain and Abel, &c. &c. The effect of these tableaux cleans is very striking; the forms of some of the female exhibitants are fine, and M. Keller himself is quite a study for the artist ; his attitudes are perfectly classical ; there is nothing exaggerated or strained about them, and the expres. sion of his face is perfectly in unison with the sentiment he has to depict. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Our attention has been called to a letter, signed J. Van Amburgh, which ap peared in the Morning Post of this day, and which states that the two lions which have been recently added to the collection at these gardens are the property of Mr. Van. Amburgh, and will be re moved to America in a few days. We have authority to contradict this statement in the most unqualified manner. The lions are the property of Mr. Tyler, the proprietor of the gardens, who purchased :them, by auction, a short time since. Moreover, Mr. Van Amburgh, the alleged writer of the letter is at present in America, and the very lions referred to are now to be seen at the Surrey Gardens. DEATH OF COLONEL CROMWELL MASSEY.—On the Bth instant died, at St. Lawrence, Ramsgate, aged 103, Colonel Cromwell Massey, late of the Hon. East India Company's service. He was a combatant on the 10th of September, 1780, in the san guinary battle of Perimbancum, in Mysore, against the forces of Hyder Ally, when he, with Colonel Baillie, Captain (afterwards Sir David) Baird, and about 200 British soldiers, were taken pri soners. Without ammunition, their waggons being accidentally blown up, they formed themselves, under the fire of the enemy's numerous artillery, into a square, and there resisted and repulsed thirteen different attacks, until borne down and trampled upon, and still fighting under the legs of the elephants and horses, they were compelled to surrender, and were thrown, chained together two and two, into Hyder's dungeons at Seringapatam, suffering from their wounds, without surgical care, almost naked, exposed to pri vations, cruel indignities, and ill-treatment, and remained cap tives for three years and nine months, when Hyder's death led to their release. ROBBERY OF BANK NoTEs.---Yesterday (Thurs day) a gentleman had occasion to transact business in the City, and among the moneys received were some Bank of England notes. He proceeded homeward to Camberwell, when to his astonishment he found that his pocket had been picked of two 201. notes, numbered 96,070 and 96,071, as well as one of 51., numbered 12,107. THE GIPSY KING AND HIS CAMP.--InformatiOn has been sent to the police of an enormous amount of property found in the possession of a gipsy of the name of Lee, who is said to be the king of that tribe, and which for the most part is supposed to have come from the neighbourhood of London. It would take up too much space to enumerate all the articles found in this man's camp ; but a statement of a few will give some notion of his possessions. Three silver watches, two silver tablespoons with initials, eight silver tea-spoons with separate marks, two silver mustard.spoons, two silver knives, a gold brooch, two riding. whips silver mounted, a stock of brass and copper kettles, stew.paus, &c. ; a splendid dinner and tea service of china, eighteen silk handkerchiefs, various patterns ; thirty. seven ladies' gowns, silk and cotton ; coats and other wearing apparel ; a set of window. curtains, two tive.pound notes, and a vast deal of other valuable property, for which it is desirable to find owners. The " king" is in custody.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000 bags, of which 1,200 were American, and 250 Surat on specu lation. The market was quiet, but without change in prices. Sales, 800 Surat, at 3Ad. to 3,0.; 250 Pamir', at 60. to rd. ; 100 Bahia. at 64d. ; 500 Egyptian, at 6id. to Oct. ; and the rest American, at 34d. to sd. per lb.—Shares were firm, and well supported. In the accounts brought over this morning from the United States some considerable stress is laid upon the alleged war like demonstrations between the Republic and Mexico. The commercial letters, however, treat the subject with something like ridicule, as it is held to be a certainty that were a hostile demonstration really intended, something more would be done than the marching and counter-marching of a few forces, and the preparation for active service of a vessel of war. It is true that the Mexican Consul at New Orleans had left, and the representatives of the Republic in other ports had fol lowed the example; but why the cause of all this speed in neglecting their duty at a time their presence might be most essential, is not explained. It is fairly presumable that the usual protection would be afforded to these officials which is accorded pursuant tolthe doctrines of civilized war fare, even though hostilities were abruptly commenced by the United States. The present advices say not a word about what would be the course of our Minister at Washington under the circumstances. Intercession to accommodate matters, would probably be the policy to be pursued, but upon this subject cf course scarcely anything but rumour was current in the capital of the United States. It does not appear that the alarming rumours previously circulated relative to a deficiency in the cotton crops are borne out, as the markets for the staple were very tranquil, with but little business doing. How this fact tallies with the immense speculations which have taken place recently for a rise at Liverpool, and the probable results of these immense time bargains, we may have a word or two to say OR another fitting occasion. The Consol market continues extremely steady, at 98% .% for Money. The Account price is merely nominal, not a single time bargain having been reported this morning. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has fluctuated only from 48s. to 465. India Stock has advanced from 269 to 271. There i. a steady demand for Portuguese Stock, still the Converted Stock is scarcely as hi g h as yester d ay . Th e price for the. Converted, for the Account, is now 63 to 63%. Mexicans are flat, at 32%; Dutch at 62% for the Two-and a-Half per Cents., and at 99% % for the Four per Cents. The Equador Shares remain at 4 3 / 4 . The general tone of the market for Railway Shares is rather better to-day. The trading shares have fluctuated only slightly, as will be shortly stated. The various settle ments in the new issues of scrip, though somewhat numerous, have gone off well. The London and Birmingham Shares have, been steady at former prices. The; North Midland are firm ; the Great Western also, as well as the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock, which are at 8 3 / 4 % premium. The South-Eastern and Dover are all at 404 ; the York and North Midland at 112%. The Diihlin and Belfast Junction are firm. The Dublin and Galway at 5% % ; the Great Southern and Western (Ire land) Extension at 13% ; the Hull and Selby at 103 104 ; the Croydon at an improvement to 25% ; the Manchester and Leeds Quarter Shares are flat at 99%, and the French lines are rather heavy.

In the middling and inferior kinds a moderate amount of business was transacted at late rates. The accounts which have reached us from the north relative to the progress of harvest operations are favourable. Upwards of 14,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week, on a portion of which home consumption duty has been paid. The transactions in fine parcels were only to a limited extent, yet the currencies were generally supported. The principal sales in bond were 10,000 quarters of low red, for shipment to Holland and Belgium. No New Barley has been received since Monday, while the supply of Foreign was small. For most kinds, but especially for grinding sorts, the inquiry was rather active, at full prices. The supply of Oats being more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, the Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, at in some instances a slight depression in value. '1 he supply of Oats, owing to the long-continued easterly winds , was very sin-jl, yet the trade was dull, at previous quota tions.

Sin,—Of Major Yarburgh's two dark, or next to dark animals, I think Red Robin to be decidedlyithe best, being by Gladiator, out of Brandy Snap, by Muley4 Moloch, a parentage which no one can say anything against. He is a strong, well-made, muscular brute, rather fine drawn, can beat Little John easily, giving him 10Ibs., and can likewise beat the famous Miss Sarah a length, giving her 7lbs. His qualities are not to be sneered at, for he will most pro. bably start and read his opponents a severe lesson on Wednesday next. Little John will not start, or if he should, will not win, which amounts to the same thing in the end. Miss Sarah—the public's first favourite—by Gladiator. out of Easter, by Brutandorf, was raised to that enviable position by merit, not by money, on the strength of her running at York, where she beat Miss Elis easily for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and nearly distanced Annandale, since which period she has been backed to win a very large stakes. lam inclined to place great faith in Miss Sarah, and expect to ace her or Red Robin one of the first three. The Pacha I have never seen, but I understand upon good authority that he is a smart animal, and that he will beat more than beat IIM. Che:tsey, June, and Miss Whip colt will not do at any price. The once-famed Scott's lot does not look very awful this year. The winter pet of last year, Kedger, is, I believe, looking and going well, hut after the awful exhibition he has made, I cannot bring myself to believe that he has the shadow of a chance. The Baron, by Birdcatcher, out of Echidna, by Economist, on Irish ground ran very well—in fact, first rate; yet what a brute lie proved to be at Liverpool. Certainly there is one thing to be said in his favour, he was not in very splendid condition at the time, but even with Scott for his trainer, I do not think he will manage to get placed, much less win. The Connaught Ranger is—at least, so says rumour—very queer, and not expected to be a starter. There has been some noise about Fitzallen lately, but I imagine it will all end in puff. Duc-an-Durras, a son of Birdcatcher, out of Brandy Bet, at his present odds is well worth backing, being a regular flyer. Lord Miltown has great hopes of winning with him. Ould Ireland, by Young Blacklock or Magpie, out of Miss Bang up, by Whalebone, is a splendid colt, a complete flyer ; and of the Irish lot I should say decidedly the best ; his running at Chester, taking into consideration that he was out of trim, was superlative. He ran well for the Cup, and beat Semiseria in a mile course. Mr. Irwin's colours will be in a very prominent position, for this smart colt is certain to finish in front. I now come to the last animal of any consequence among the starters, and he is the stout, muscular, and swift son of Picaroon, to wit, Pantasa, out of Acanthus, by Teniers. This first-rate spe cimen of horse flesh has not an equal among the three-year-olds, excepting Sweetmeat ; his pace is tremendous, strength prodigious, and his action beautiful. His race at Liverpool was a false one, for he was not at that time quite up to the mark, otherwise he would have won by a length or two. His running as a two-year old was •ery respectable ; in short, pick out a fault if you can. His master's colour (yellow) will carry an enormous amount of the metal of that colour; I should say, at a rough guess, about 50,0001. is the sum that will have to be paid should he win. I am, Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. WA TERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this Com pany was held this day in the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of having the report of the Directors submitted to them, and for the transaction of other business. P. S. Butler, Esq., M.P. for Kilkenny, was called to :he chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that after the report should have been read by the secrerary, he might perhaps offer a few re marks upon it, but he thought that everything would be found so fully detailed in it that his observations would be rendered unnecessary. The SECRETARY (Mr. Prosser) then read the report, the substance of which was as follows :—" The Directors, after congratulating the Shareholders on the prosperous nature of the undertaking, went on to say that the total receipts as yet had been some 12,5001., and the expenditure above 5,0001., leaving a balance, in round numbers, of 7,0001. They had met with very little opposition in Parliament, and the share market exhibited an increasing confidence on the part of the public in the undertaking." The CHAIRMAN, in a brief speech, adverted to the past history of the Company, and argued the continued success of it from the good reputation it had hitherto borne both in that country and in Ireland. His humble efforts had been given to it from the first, and he could assure tht Di rectors that his exertions should be continued in the future as in the past time. Mr. Joinkt TEMPLETON moved, and Mr. CLIFFORD seconded, the adoption of the report.—Agreed to. Mr. HADDEN proposed that Mr. Webster, of Great George street, and Mr. George Bain, of Parliament-street, be elected auditors, and that the remuneration be 15 guineas each per annum.—Agreed to. Lieutenant- Colonel Johnson moved and Mr. Middleton se conded a resolution, that 8001. per annum should be laid aside as a remuneration to the Directors.—Carried. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Green, seconded by Mr. Smith, that a salary of 3001. per annum be allowed to the secretary of the Company. Thanks were then voted to the officers of the Company ; and, on the motion! of Barry Baldwin, Esq.,lM.P., to the Chairman, when the meeting broke up. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) Charles Maynard, an auctioneer and house.agent, residing at the west-end of the town, was brought up before Alderman Hughes Hughes en the charge of acting as agent in the restoration of stolen property, knowing it to be so, and also on the charge of bigamy. Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Nash, of the firm of Swaine, Stephens, and Co., appeared on behalf of the railway, and Mr. Bowditch for the defendant. Mr. Clarkson said that there were three charges to be gone into with regard to the prisoner, namely, the charge cf bigamy, which he would take first ; than the charge connected with the robbery on the Great Western Railway ; and afterwards another respect ing the robbery on the Birmingham line. Harriet blasted was then called, and proved her marriage with the prisoner during the present year, and the Rev. Mr. Austin produced the register of the prisoner's marriage in 1822. Mr. Daniell also swere he was a witness, and present at the marriage in 18'22. He said the prisoner signed his name to the book. Other evidence was gone into to complete the case. and the prisoner was committed on that charge. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Ellen Ryan was charged with stealing a shawl, value 35., from Sarah Brennan, the keeper of a " wardrobe shop" in King-street, Long-acre. The p.rosecutrix said that the prisoner, who was an old acquaint.. ance of hers, came to see her yesterday, and having been in her shop talking with her for some time, asked her to go and get some beer. She went out for some beer, and on returning she thought she saw the prisoner putting something under her shawl. The prisoner immediately said, without having been accused by her, that she had not stolen anything. She saw at once, however, that the shawl had been removed. She immediately taxed the pri soner with taking it, and sent her little girl to fetch a policeman, standing in the doorway in the meantime to prevent her from escaping. As soon as the child was gone, theprisonertookthe shawl from under the one she wore at the time, and, running to the door which led to the next room, threw it into that room. The prisoner made no defence, but was committed for trial al the nest Clerkenwell sessions. SOUTHWARK-(THIS DAY.) William Thane and Christopher Slight were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance. It appeared that the defendants were engaged during the day at the Southwark election, and that they afterwards retired to the Ship at Stone's.end, and, with Mr. Pilcher's committee, drank rather deeply. After quitting the house between twelve and one o'clock, when they got into the street they commencdd blowing a horn, and shouting in such a manner as to disturb the inhabitants. When taken into custody 'Thane was very violent, and struck the policeman, when they were taken into custody. Slight, in defence, said he was a medical student, and admitted that he was induced to take too much liquor owing to the election. The other defendant said that he was sorry for what had happened, but he thought there was no harm in blowing the horn, as he had been permitted to do so all day. Mr. TItAILL fined Thane I Os., and the other defendant 55., for being drunk. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Two deeent, hard working young men, named Tubb and Lukc, were charged with stealing a set of harness, the property of Mr. Pugh, a tradesman residing in Cromer street, Brunswick -square. Mr. Pugh swore that the harness were stolen from Thanet mews, Burton-crescent. One of the prisoners, after the his robberyappre hension said he had been in the mews o n the night was committed. Mr. GREENWOOD—WeII. Witness—That is all I ant—,a f charge o Sir. the case—Have you no further evidence. The serge the men ? o, Mr. GREENWOOD —Then why did you arrest evening, and (The prisoners were apprehended on the previous locked up until brought before the magistrate this morning.) The Sergeant—One of them said he had been in Thanet-mews on the night of the robbery; that he went for his coat. Mr. GREENWOOD —Why, you might as well arrest any one passing along the public street. I must say it is not fair to arrest men at haphazard. and then put these questions withet h the ee men nw beof extrac ti ng answers to criminate themselves. L discharged. LOSS OF LIFE THROUGH THE BONE OF A HERRING. —An inquest was -held by Mr. Mills, at the St. John of Jerusalem, St. John street, on the body of Mr. Feeney, printer, aged 30, late of No. ;16, St. John -street. Last Thursday week de ceased was eating a red herring, when one of its bones sticking in his throat caused him to cough so violently that a spitting of blood followed. On the following morning his foreman went to deceased's bed-room, when he found him dead in bed and covered with blood, v.tieh, it was supposed, he spat in a renewed fit of coughing, and which, from want of assistance, choked him. Verdict—" Natural Death." A TRAVELLER MissiNG.—Yesterday, information was lodged at the Newcastle Police-cffice that Wm. Levett, a tra veller to the firm of Johnson, Carnmell, and Co., of Sheffield, and who was last seen on the 25th ult., in the George Hotel, in this town, has since been missing. His desk and trunks, which were at the George Hotel, have been opened, aid his accounts found apparently correct.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL. The official declaration of the poll was made to-day by the High Bailiff, about one o'clock, in front of the Town-hall, in the presence of about two thousand persons. All the candidates were present on the platform. The HIGH BAILIFF having cast up the returns from the various districts, declared the result to be as follows : For Sir William Molesworth 1,943 For Mr. Filcher... For Mr. Aliall Majority for Sir William Molesworth... 761 Having read the numbers, he concluded by declaring Sir William Molesworth, Bart., to be duly elected as a Member to serve in Parliament for the borough of Southwark. The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers by the supporters of Sir William Molesworth. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII then came forward to address the meeting, and was received with great cheers. He com plained that he was labouring under severe indisposition, and should not detain:them long. The Honourable Baronet, after hoping that all animosity would subside, proceeded in a very indistinct tone of voice to recapitulate the leading features of his political creed, in exposition of what he would advocate in Parliament. He declared himself to be for unlimited free trade ; for justice to Ireland, and giving her equal laws; for en extension of the suffrage, triennial Parliaments, and vote by ballot. Referring to the suffrage question, he complained of a speech attributed to him, which had been reprinted from the Morning Chronicleaduring the present contest, said to be delivered in 1837. All he could tiny was that the speech was never delivered by him in the terms set forth, and that there must have been some mistake made by the reporter at the time. After thanking, in the most cordial manner, the electors, for the triumphant majo rity with which they had placed him at the head of the poll, the Hon. Baronet concluded amidst great applause. Mr. FILCHER next came forward, and was received with considerable uproar. He said the only desire he had for being in Parliament was to serve his fellow-townsmex.— (Shouts of "We don't want your service.") The Hon. Gentleman then, amidst great hissing and uproar, went on to recapitulate what he would have done had he been elected their Member, especially his views on the Maynooth grant, and the new Poor-law, and concluded by expressing an opi nion that by the next general election a change would come over their opinions, and he would be returned their repre sentative.—( Loud cries of " Never.") Mr. MALL next followed. He hoped, in the midst of their victory, they would afford to be generous. He re gretted any circumstances should have arisen in the progress of the contest that could be considered as a personal matter. He had hoped that principle alone would have been the guiding object. He did not feel ashamed of being in a minority. He could afford to stand alone on principle.— (Cheers.) He believed it to be a fair and honourable work to stand forward in the face of tremendous odds, to give every elector a chance of recording his opinions cn the poll. It was necessary that the electors throughout the country should make a stand on what they considered right. He admitted that the Hon. Baronet had triumphed by a large majority ; but it must be conceded that many of his sup porters held ecclesiastical opinions differing very much from his ; and he trusted those who had supported him woud consider carefully before the coming general election, whether it was correct to prefer party to principle.—(Cheers and uproar.) If the principle of en dowment went on increasing, as he believed it would, then they would perhaps find out that they had committed s. fatal error.—(Uproar.) They had only started upon a great po litical experiment—(Cries, "It has failed here")—an expe riment that will go forward and be tested in many other constituencies in the empire.—(Cheers.) He had felt sorrow in coming forward against such a man as Sir Wm. Moleswortb, and nothing but his declared opinions on the Maynooth grant could have induced him to do so. He con cluded by hoping that all animosity would die away now that the election was closed both between the candidates and the electors. The Hon. Gentleman sat Sown amidst considerable cheering. On the motion of Sir W. MOLESWORTII, a vote of thanks was given to the High Bailiff. The HIGH BAILIFF briefly returned thanks, after which the assembly quietly separated. RETURN OF THE COURT TO THE CASTLE.—WIND THURSDAT EVENING.—A gentleman in the suite of her Majesty, who arrived at Windsor this afternoon from the Isle of Wight, has brought the following information :—The Queen and Prince Albeit, accompanied by the royal family, are not expected to arrive at the Castle for the remainder of the autumn and winter season until the latter end of the month. Friday, the 26th inst., is the day at present named for the departure of the Court from Osborne-house to Windsor. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent (who was expected to arrive at Frogmore House on Monday next) will remain for some days upon a visit to her illustrious re latives, the reigning Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg, at the Palace of Reinhartsbrunn, near Saxe Coburg. On the Duchess's departure from Germany her Royal Highness will proceed to Brussels, and remain there for about a week, upon a visit to her b re ro tu ti r i n er, to th F e ro K gm in o g re o ri f outhsee atß c a l b g o i v an t s t . he H s e a r m ß e o p y e a r l iod H t i .'liPleiliCesosurwill expected to arrive at the Castle from the Isle of Wight.

NEWMARKET, THURSDAY, FEB. 11.—The inquest on the body of Henry Thorns, killed on Saturday last by Richard Archer, in the market-place of this town, being adjourned from Monday to this day, the streets, as the hour approached, became thronged with people, presenting a novel spectacle, Newmarket in the " dezdt season" being anything but lively. At ten o'clock the jury assem— bled at the Three Tuns, and some gentlemen connected with " the , turf" being more or less concerned in the case, the room was. crowded. Harry Wayman, Esq., coroner for the liberty, presided. Archer, who absconded immediately he heard of the death of Thorns, surrendered himself this morning, and was present during the ems mination. Mr. Samuel Gamble and Mr. Beck, surgeons, deposed that they had re-examined the body, and had arrived at the condusion that deceased met with his death by an effusion of blood to the brain, caused by the rupture of a blood.vessel produced by violence. William Turner and James Sergeant saw the prisoner Archer knock the deceased down, his head striking heavily upon the large stones in the market-place. Samuel Nunn deposed that he saw Archer, Adams, Edward Edwards, and George Edwards standing together about ten minutes before the affair happened. Picked the deceased up when he George Edwards walked away. Charles Boyce, saddler, deposed that on Saturday evening, about ten o'clock, Mr. Howlett and himself were riding together, anch they met Archer. Howlett asked him something about a piano he had bought the day before at a sale, and both witness and Howlett observed that people were; wondering for whom he could have bought it. Archer said he understood Thorns had been saying something about it, and the first time he saw him, he'd "settle" or " nobble'' him. Never thought by that expression Archer intended to murder Thorns, but only to give him a thrashing. Witness told Archer not to think of striking Thorns, for he (Archer) was very powerful. Saw Archer again about one o'clock the same day with Alfred Fry and George and Edward Edwards, and saw Thorns come round into the market. place. Heard some one cry out, " Archer, there he goes." Did not know who it was, but believed it was Edward Edwards. Archer said nothing about Thorn's opposition to Edward Edwards in his bankruptcy. James Barber Howlett, clerk to Mr. Isaacson, solicitor, of New market, confirmed the evidence of the former witness, as far as he himself was concerned. Heard nothing, however, about "set. tling" or" nobbling." Did not apprehend from Archer's manner that he intended any serious injury to the deceased. William Bell, druggist, was sent for by Thorns after the unfor tunate attack upon him, and he said, amongst other things, it arose out of a piano Archer had purchased the day before for Mrs. Edwards. Alfred Fry deposed that whilst walking with Charles Boyce and the two Edwards, Archer came rapidly up to them. and said " I'm afraid I have half killed him." Heard Edward Edwards cry" Archer" when Thorns came round the market-place, The prisoner declined to say anything, and the jury pronounced a verdict of " Manslaughter." THE TRIUMPHS OF STEAM. Some of the journals are rejoicing because—thanks to steam-boats and steam-locomotives—the Queen has travelled over a large portion of the Continent at a very rapid rate. In our humble opinion a much greater cause for congratulation is presented in the fact that the Cork Examiner of Friday, in acknowledging the enterprising spirit of Messrs. Johnson and Co., of Dublin, states that it had that morning received The Sun, expressed by them from Dublin, in seventeen hours. This is marvellous.. The entire distance, by sea and land, which that copy of The Sun had traversed is nearly 450 miles, via Dublin. This gives an average of twenty-six miles per hour, exclusive of all :toppages, which we may estimate at certainly not less than a couple of hours out of the seventeen. The Sun newspaper has established a high reputation for the quick transmission of news, but this last effort crowns all—London to Cork, v u Dublin, in seventeen hours ! We re collect the time when the mail-packet between Holyhead and Dublin was sometimes a week on its voyage. What political power, what social strength, is there involved in the great fact that the communication from the south of Ireland to the seat of Government in England, can be made in a few hours ! It is obvious that if The Sun can be carried from London to Cork in less time than, seven or eight years ago, the stage coaches carried a person from London to Liverpool, soldiers and the muniments of war can be conveyed in the same mode, and at equal speed. Rebellion is "worse than a crime"—it is a blunder if attempted against such means of instantly putting it down. London to Cork, with a circuit through Dublin, in seventeen hours! What next ?—Railway Express. TAUNTON.—We are glad to find that the failure in the potatoe crop is only partial in this neighbourhood.—Sher borne Journal. DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT BIBLE.—A copy of the first complete edition of the English Bible, printed by Myles Coverdale, bearing the date 1535, was accidentally discovered, a few days since, in the false bottom of an old oak chest, at Helk ham-hall, Norfolk, the seat of the Earl of reicester. There aro numerous imperfect copies of this edition of the Holy Scriptures in existence, two be;ng deposited in the Library of the British Museum, one itt the Bodleian Library, one in the Cambridge lint. verity Library—its fact, many of uur great libraries and public in stitutsons, and many private collections, possess imperfect copies, but the volume just discovered is in every respect perfect. The Noble Proprietor of Holkham has had the book appropriately bound, and enclosed in an oaken box, and it now graces the shelves of his magnificent library. TIIE POTATO DISEASE.—The Society of Medicine at Antwerp has addressed to the Governor of the province a letter dated the sth instant, in which the society gives it as its opinion " That the best thing to be done to preserve the winter crop from a speedy destruction would be to take out of the earth the tu_ berries of which the herbaceous parts have died, and to extract the starch. This operation, which is an easy one, might be undertaken at a small cost by the Bureaux of Beinfaisance, to supply the wants of the numerous poor that they have to nourish during winter. With respect to the potatoes that arc to be given to beasts, it would be enough to scrape the potatoes after having previously washed them and cleaned them free of their diseased parts, and then to submit the pulp thus scraped to the action of a press. These last, to be preserved, need only be dried in some receptacle properly heated." FATAL ACCIDENT TO A- WATERLOO VETERAN.— Thursday evening Mr. W. Payne returned and concluded an in. quest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, adjourned from Friday last, on the body of \William Sandling, a Chelsea pensioner, aged fifty one. It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday week last the deceased was crossing the end of Gray's Inn-lane, in Holborn, when his hat fell off' by accident. He stooped to pick it up, and, in doing so, slipped and fell between the horses' legs and the fore wheels of a carriage passing at the time. The driver tried to pull up, but was unable, and the wheels passed over she deceased's body. He was picked up and conveyed to the hospital, where he died shortly after his admission. On a post tnortcm examination, ten ribs cn the right side and eight on the left were found to be frac tured, the liver and spleen being torn. Verdict, " Accidental death.'' The deceased was formerly in the 13th Light Dragoons, and was in all the principal engagements in the Peninsula, in one cf which he was severely wounded. CHAIN-DROPPING IN ST. JAMES'S PARR.—Yester day afternoon the following stale trick was played off upon a lady residing in Piccadilly :—The lady is a stranger in London, and was resting on one of the scats in St. James's Park, when a gentle. manly looking man came and took his scat by her, and entered into conversation. He suddenly left his seat, and apparently picked from off the ground a small paper parcel, upon opening which there appeared a handsome gold chain, studded with turquoise, and ear rings and brooch to correspond. A bill of parcels was also inclosed, from which it appeared that the articles had cost 10/. 15s. The gentleman expressed his readiness to divide with the lady, but the difficulty was how to do so equally, and proposed very gallantly that she should give him 21. for his share, to which the foolishly. consented. Upon showing them to a jeweller she was informed that they were real Birmingham, and worth about eight or nine shillings. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— CAUTION TO NURSES.— On Thursday morning between eight and nine o'clock, a shocking accident occurred to Miss Mary Hutley, three years of age, daughter of Henry Hutley, Esq., residing In Connaught-terrace, Edgeware road. It appears the nursemaid had brought up a saucepan of boiling milk for the children's breakfast, and had placed the sauce pan in the fire-place in the nursery.
