REGISTRATION COURTS. CITY OF LONDON. '1 he Court resumed its inquiry yesterday morning at ten when the list of Liverymen was entered upon. The first case on which any discussion arose was that of Mr. Marriott, described in the overseers' list as residing on Ludgate-hill. It was objected to him that this was not his proper residence, as he bad removed to Upper Albany-street, Regent's Park. It was maintained on the other side that this did not affect his right to vote as a Liveryman. The REVISEIG BARRISTER said, as it was a point of im portance, he would take time to consider his decision. The next point of importance raised was in the case of Edward Brown, a member of the Bakers' Company: was objected to him that his freedom had been taken "up since 1831, and therefore, according to the intention of the Reform Act, his name was not entitled to be on the register. After considerable argument, as the decision would affect several hundred votes, it was agreed that a case should be selected, to be fully argued on Friday next. MIDDLESEX. Mr. Shadwell, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the county of Middlesex, held his first court on Monday, at Uxbridge, for the purpose of revising the list of voters for the parishes of Uxbridge, Hillingdon, Ruislip, Ickenham, West Drayton, Harefleld, Cowley, Hayes, and Norwood. Mr. Payne appeared for the:Conservatives, and Mr. James for the Radicals. A gentleman of the name of Meek was 9bjected to by the Radicals. The claimant appeared in person, and stated that this was the fourth time he had been brought down from town to substantiate his vote. Mr. James—Will you tell me, Sir, where your property is situated? Mr. Meek—lt is next to the field where the poor house was. mr. James—Where it was 2 that is our objection. The poor-house has been pulled down, and, therefore, there is no such place ; if you will give a proper statement of the situa • tion of your property, you will not be troubled again. Mr. Meek then gave a particular statement of the place where his houses were, and the name was retained. EAST SURREY. Mr. S. C. C. Fish, the Revising Barrister for the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey. opened his first court at twelve o'clock onMonday morning, in the Town-hall of Reigate. Mr. Hart (solicitor) appeared on the part of the Conser wives, and Mr. E. Russell (solicitor), Mr. Jeans, and Mr. (of the Anti-Corn-law League), on the p art of the Liberals. The claim of James Ivory, of the parish of Betchworth, was objected to by the latter, on the ground that, although paying upwards of 501. rent, he held under different land lords. On being examined he admitted that he paid 371. holsse-rent to one person, and 281. for land to another. The objection was, therefore, decided to be valid, and the claim was rejected. Mr. Oldborough Heniker, of No. 70, Chancery-lane, Lon .lon, claimed to register in respect of a rent-charge of 425. on and in the possession of Mr. Frederick Heniker, in the parish of Burstow. The claim was objected to by Mr. Jeanes, on the ground of nsufficient description of the property ; but the objection cing overruled by the Revising Barrister, Mr. Heniker applied for the expenses he had incurred in attending to defend his claim. Mr. Jeanes felt himself justified in opposing the applica tion, as the objection that there was no;local description given 3f the property was a perfectly fair one to raise. Mr. Russell (on the same side) said, that the question was a very important one, and one which was likely to arise fre quently in the course of the revision. In the overseers' list the local description of the prop e rty was entirely omitted, and it was a question whether, strictly speaking, that did not invalidate the claim. The REVISING BARRISTER observed, that in the list7he had received from the clerk of the peace it was correctly given, as at Copthorne. Mr. Russell said, that in the list which they had received from the overseer it was merely described as a freehold rent charge on land in the occupation of Frederick Heniker. They, therefore, felt that the Court ought to hesitate before award lug costs. The REvisucc BARRISTER admitted that if that fact were established he could not regard the objection to the claim as frivolous, and therefore could not allow the costs. The overseer acknowledged the error, and received in con sequence a reprimand from the Court for his carelessness, with an intimation that he should not be allowed the expense of printing his list. The claim was allowed, but without costs. _ The claim of George Coleman, of Otley, was successfully objected to by the Liberals, he being only a trustee for the property out of which he sought to vote. The Court, at its rising, adjourned to ten o'clock next mowing. To- day it will be held at Croydon. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE BARRATT. This insolvent, who described himself as a musician, &c., came up for his final order, the granting which had been adjourned in consequence of the insolvent's schedule and balance-sheet not being perfect. He was now opposed on the ground that his amended schedule had not been filed in due time, it being completed only last night. The insolvent contended that there was but a slight alteration in regard to his household expenses, which his Honour, on the last occasion, considered had been put down on speculation. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, by the bankrupt law he was bound to file his schedule at least ten days before the schedule was filed (the insolvent's state of affairs being such that had he been a trader he could have been made bankrupt). The insolvent requested an adjournment till the 30th of October, on the ground that his wife was in confinement in the county prison for debt, and had petitioned the Court, and be thought it would be more satisfactory and beneficial to the creditors and himself, that they should both be exa mined at the same time. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked what was the amount of the wife's debts, and he was answered that they were about 3 001. The adjournment was agreed to. CRIMINAL COURT.-MONDAY. OLD COURT. C - Alfred Carlile, surren dered in discharge of bail to take his trial on an indictment for misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, which was brought forward at the instance of the Society for the Suppression of Vise; Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, that the defendant had carried on, under the name of " Ward," the business of a book and printseller, at No. 103, Strand, and that on the sth of July last he sold to an agent employed by the Society by which the prosecution was promoted, two obscene and indecent prints for the sum of Be., and on the 9th of the same mouth another print of a similar nature and character. These facts were proved by the agent, a person of the name of Alfred Charles Smith, who was corroborated in the leading particulars by Police-sergeant Chadwick, of the F division. In the course of the cross-examination of the witness Smith, he stated that he had been [once at the'shop of the defendant before the first purchase was made, but denied that he had asked to be supplied with the articles in question. He ad mitted, however, that on being shown some French prints, he asked to be shown " something more curious," upon 'which he was shown into an inner room by the defendant, who pro duced a portfolio containing 80 or 90 prints, from which the witness selected the three which formed the subject matter of the present indictment. He also admitted that there were not any indecent prints exibited publicly in the shop or its windows. The prints, which were produced and handed to the jury, were admitted to be of an utterly disgusting character. The case for the prosecution having closed, r. BALLA.NTINE submitted to the Court that the indict ment, which was at common law, was not sustained by the evidence. The question he propounded to the Court was, whether the sale to a single individual who went for the pur pose of purchasing the article was such a transaction as could constitute such a public offence as was indictable at common law without reference to the statute? He (Mr. Ballantine) contended that such a selling and uttering was not an offence at common law, and therefore the indictment as framed could not be sustained. The Learned Counsel cited the dictum of Lord Ellenborough in the case of " Smith e. Harden," 3 Qmpbell's Reports, in support of the point he had raised. The RECORDER remarked that his present impression was; against the objection, but he would make a note of It, and point it out to the Judges, if necessary, on their arrival for the present session. Mr. Baueprrorm then addressed the jury on the merits, and called two witnesses to character. One of the wit nesses proved that the defendant told him that he had put up the name of Ward before his shop because he did not like to display his own name. The same witness added that the defendant was the son of Richard Carlile, who was an object of notoriety some years ago, and that was the reason why the defendant had kept back his own name. The RECORDER then summed up the case to the jury, who returned a verdict of " Guilty," and in answer to a question left to them by the Court, added to their verdict that they believed the defendant had the prints in his pos session for the purpose of sale. The RECORDER said he would postpone the sentence until he had mentioned the point raised by Mr. Ballantine to the Judges. In the meantime the defendant must stand con victed. The defendant was then:conveyed through the dock into the body of the prison. The Court, after waiting nearly two hours for want of bills being returned by the grand jury, disposed of one or two paltry cases of felony of no public interest, and ad ourned at five o'clock. - (YESTERDAY.) OLD COURT. The Learned Recorder took his seat on the bench at nine o'clock. CUTTING AND WOUNDING. —Mary Hopgan, aged 25, a married woman, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Ellen Welsh, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutrix's evidence showed that a quarrel had taken place, which had, however, left undecided the question of " which was the better woman," and Welsh on the suc ceeding day went up to Horogan's room, and politely re quested her to come down •to the yard, in order to settle this important point. The prisoner not having the rules of the ring before her, had recourse to a chopper, with which "she hot" the witness a crack over the eye that " kilt her entirely." She was conveyed to the hospital, where the wound WAS dressed. The Recorder elicited from the ! - prosecutor the startling truth that " the key had been twice turned on her for a bit of a fight," and that she had made sundry appearances before the justices. Mr. PATNZ addressed jthe jury for the defence. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury returned a ver dict of Not Guilty of th e f e l ony , b u t Guilty of a common assault. The sentence was that, cons n idering the period which the prisoner had already p assed for r nfinement (three weeks), len le days. she should be further im prison ed FORGERY.—Howard Augustine charged with having feloniously uttered s a s f . o l ;ge s d ur a g c eo ce n 'pta w n as ce to a bill of exchange for 381. 13s. Gd., with intent to defraud James Cooke. He was likewise detained on two similar The prisoner having craved that his case might bee allowed u llowed to' stand over till to-morrow, as he, for want of means, not fee counsel b efore that time, the Recorder said that he should at once, under the circumstances, accede to the request. The case, was, therefore, all to stand over. UTTERING FOROED Outdid FOR Goons.—Henry Sheen, alias ca n y., age d 22, bookbinder, was indicted for stealing twenty-three reams of paper, value 154 the property of Wm. ery a c ne was fo nd r e the o for utterin6forged the prisoner was for goods, un&c. Mr. Doprosecution ;- defended. Mr. Knight, stationer, of BUdg.e-row, Watling street, proved that the prisoner had, on the May Last, come to his place with an order from a Mr. Cainur, ofßothuel Green road, for three reams of " brown," three rel.'n s of ‘`, kan4- 9 7" &c. Witness asked several ques tions, to which iZtturactorY answers were given, and Mr. Tea, of Cheapside, was givezi .°4 a reference. The lot of goods was made up (eight reams in all), valued V. 35., and given to the prisoner. Subsequent inquiry proved the prisoner had no authority from Mr. Cat mur to purchase these goods, and he was therefore taken into custody Henry Catmur, father of the prisoner, had not authorised his son to get goods in his name, nor had he seen the paper so purchased. The prisoner argued that he had never mentioned " his father,' that the goods were for himself (Henry. Catmnr), and he had purchased goods before, which had been paid for. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury found the pri fer i. Guilty. blr. DOANE explained that there were other charges of a similar character against him. He had also been convicted on two previous occasions of larceny. An officer of police said that on inquiry he found that the prisoner had been pursuing " that game" for a long time. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, remarked upon the art exhibited by the prisoner in the course of these frauds, but considering his years the Court would limit the punishment to the highest which the law allowed for obtaining goods under false pretences. The sentence, therefore, was that he be transported for seven years. STEAuxa.—George Morton was indicted for stealing from the premises of Mr. James Cooper, of Bond-street, twenty five yards of cloth, valued 10/. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's porter, that as he was opening his master's premises, the prisoner entered the shop and stole the property. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. The prisoner had been found to have a notoriously bad character, and a previous conviction for burglary was proved against him. I 'Thomas Butler and .Edgar Sargeant were indicted for breaking and entering the premises of Charles Lowe, of Seven Dials, St. Giles's, and stealing therefrom a quantity of brass. The prosecutor stated that he had fastened his premises on the night of July 3d, and the next morning he found that the premises had been broken open and a quantity of pro perty taken away. H. Holloway, of Crown-street, Soho, dealer in brass, proved that the prisoners brought a quantity of that material for him to purchase in the same month, which he purchased, and sold to Abraham Emanuel. Abraham Emanuel proved purchasing the brass from Mr. Holloway in July, and that produced was the same he had then purchased. The prosecutor identified his own property. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the prisoner Edgar Sar geant, and having called several witnesses as to character, The RECORDER summed up the case, and the jury found a verdict of Not Guilty in both cases. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. Henry Theodorus Hartel, a fine-looking young German, who spoke no English, was charged with stealing a bill of exchange for 80/., the property of Mr. Peter Hanser, a German sea captain trading to this country. The circumstances of the case, as well as others which came to light, exhibit great depravity on the part of the prisoner. In June 'last the pro secutor went to lodge at a house in Parsons-street,. Wapping, where he found the prisoner, with whom as a fellow-country-- man he formed an acquaintance Perceiving that the pri soner was in want, Mr. Hanser rendered him every assistance, sharing his apartment with him, and feeding him at his own table. Captain Hanser having to sail for Hamburgh, whilst on the voyage missed the bill of exchange from a pocket. book which used to lie in a trunk in the room occupied by himself and the prisoner, upon whom however his . suspicion did not fall, not supposing he could be guilty of such base ingratitude. Subsequent events, however, tended to show that he was the thief, and then Captain Hanser remembered that on one occasion he had left Hartel alone "in the room when the key was in the trunk. The circumstances which led to the discovery were these :—A gentleman named Popart met the prisoner some time previous to the stealing of the bill at the Hoof and Horseshoe, - Queen-street, Tower-hill, and hearing he was in great distress; for the sake of their common father-land, not only paid his bill, amount ing to 21. 55., but also advanced him something to go on with. He, however, had reason subsequently to entertain a poor opinion of Hartel's integrity, the latter having mentioned his intention of doing his landlord in Parsons-street by getting; his trunk of clothes out at the window during the night. Mr. Popart felt it his duty to mention the matter to the landlord, and the design was frustrated. Mr. Popart having heard a few days ago that:the prisoner had been trying to nego tiate a bill of exchange with a German merchant in the City, who, however refused to treat with him, as the bill was made payable at Cronstadt (to Captain Hanser himsqf), he sus pected it was the produce of a robbery, and taxed the pri soner, who admitted the theft, and said he had forwarded the bill to a brother at Hamburgh. He afterwards said he had sent it to his sister, who resided there. Mr. Popart gave information at Denmark-street station-house on • Saturday night, and, after an active search of five hours, the prisoner was arrested by Inspector Donegan, of the II division, at No. 10, Garden- place, St. George's-in-the-East. The inspector subsequ h ently searched lodgings previously held by• the pri soner, dnd found there letters written in German relating to the robbery. The prisoner, who admitted the theft through an inter preter, was remanded for a week, to afford Inspector Donegan an opportunity of procuring the bill from Hamburgh. A young man, named John Ship, was charged on suspicion of stealing a sovereign and some silver, the property of Ser geant and Lazarus, coal : merchants at Wapping-wharf._ Mr. Sergeant stated, that at half•past six o'Cioek on Satur day morning, on entering the counting-house, he found the door had been broken open. A desk had also been broken open, from which the money was- abstracted. A small box tied with red tape, and which had the appearance of being valuable, had also been removed. Before getting at the counting-house, the party must have access through. a gate, of which the prisoner's father kept the key ; and their sus picion was excited in consequence of the prisoner's-knowledge of the premises. Robert Noakes went to his work at half-past three o'clock, but found it closed. He called on the prisoner's father, who lived close by, to open the gate, and, in doing so, old Ship observed that:somebody had been there since he left it last. Witness said that perhaps it was Mr. Sergeant ; and when they got in they found two of the horses loose. Police-constable 239 K apprehended the prisoner in New Gravel-lane on Saturday, and when told of the charge he said he knew nothing about it. He had 2s. on him, and said he had been to Barking-side blackberrying. On searching the house the witness found a quantity of clothes which the pri soner's mother had just released, paying for them with a so vereign, two half-crowns, and five shillings. Witness had also ascertained that the prisoner's father had been paid his rages on Saturday all in silver. Under these suspicious circumstances the prisoner was re manded for the purpose of instituting further and more search ing inquiry. - CLERKENWELL. Danid Connor, a drover, was charged with. beating and wounding police-constable 238 G, so as to do him grievous bodily harm. The constabledeposed that the prisoner was sitting in the middle of the pavement, on the previous night, near Smith field. He was just recovering from a fit of intoxication, and witness, fearing he would be run over, or trampled upon, and seeing that he obstructed the pavement, told him to get up. He took no notice of the command, but remained in the same position. Witness then seized him for the purpose of raising him, when the prisoner turned upon him, knocked him into the kennel, and rolled him there until his dress was completely saturated with filth. At last he got upon his legs, but the prisoner again got him . down, and kicked him on the head with all his force: Wit ness, seeing that the prisoner was resolved upon murdering him, by a desperate struggle got him underhini; the prisoner clung to him like a bulldog, and seizing the fleshy part of his leg between his teeth, - pierced the thick trousers and strong boots until he made the teeth almost meet in the:flesh. Wit ness, by a well-directed blow, obliged him to relinquish his hold, but he seized his wrist in his mouth and inflicted a severe wound upon it At length assistance arrived, and he was secured. Mr. Wardley, however, denied the assertion, and again referred to the circumstance of the prospectus of the com pany haying names attached of persons who never sano tioned it. Mr. COTTINGHAIR asked if any of the persons were in at tendance ? Mr. Wardley replied in the negative, and said that he had called some time ago on Mr. John Quincy Harris, and having shown that gentleman the prospectus with his name to it, he declared he had never authorised it. Mr. Cope here produced a minute of the transactions of the Company, with Mr. Harris's own signature attached to it, to prove the incorrectness of what had just been asserted. He reiterated that the names of all in the prospectus were sanc tioned by the parties themselves. Mr. CorrusonAm (addressing Mr. Wardley) said, that to establish a criminal charge it must be proved that improper means had been resorted to for the purpose of obtaining money of theaubscribers to the Association, and that if such was the case, the parties had a right to• attend them selves. Now, no one attended but Mr. Wardley himself, and he admits that he is a discharged servant from the Association. l'olice-sergeant Cottam, 10 G, said, in all his life, he never saw any one in so shocking a condition as the constable, the blood was streaming from his face, his clothes were'satqrated with filth, and he was scarcely able to stand erect from the injuries he had received. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, without the power - of releasing himself by the payment of a fine. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Wardley—l was only a canvasser for nine months. Mr. CorrnmnAm—Then if you were aware that the money was not applied in a legitimate way, why not have complained before you were dismissed ? This latter fact materially neutralises the alleged accusation against those of whom you complain. Mr. Cornziansat said that Mr. Wardley had asserted that Mr. Cope hastily quitted the City when he was about to pre fer certain complaints respecting his conduct as Secretary to the Association. The magistrate inquired whether there were just grounds for that assertion ? Mr. Cope replied that there were not, and that he had only recently removed his offices ; but that it was not in conse quence of any fear that his conduct while acting as Secretary of the Association would be called in question, for he was quite willing to give every information relative to the dis bursement of all moneys received on its account. Mr. COTTINGIIAM inquired whether the Association was still in existence ?_ Mr. Cope replied that it was; and he proceeded to give an account of the exertions made to carry out the objects of the Association, and said that petitions containing the signatures of many thousands of persons had been presented to Parlia ment on the subject of throwing open the bridges to the pub - lic without payment. Mr. CorriniGuAx—What amount of subscriptions were received? Mr. Cope replied, about 2,500/. The first year the money collected was greater than of late, and the whole of it was expended in the payment of the canvassers and other ser vants employed, besides other incidental expenses, such as meetings, offices, advertisements, &c. Mr. Wardley ima gined the Association was indebted to him for his services, which were almost valueless, for he only collected 60/. or 70/. altogether. _ _ _ _ Corrncemam inquired how the subscriptions to the Anti-Bridge-Toll Association were procured ? Mr. Cope explained that it was done by canvassers calling at the houses of persons who were interested in throwing open the bridges without the payment of toll. He added that his other avocations prevented him from still retaining the situation of Secretary to the Association, which, he ob served, was indebted to him a considerable sum. Two men, named Lander and Street, were charged with committing an assault on a Mr. William Jarovis, on the occa sion of a wedding. The complainant stated that on the preceding day, his son was married, on which account a great number .of people assembled, and the " rough music" was set going. He (com plainant) went to the public-house to order the supper beer, and while at the bar the two defendants came up, and asked him what he would " stand." He gave an evasive answer, and went home. And when he got to the door he found the defendants followed him, and they . commenced rigging and knocking at the door with great violence. He 'desired them to desist, but they refused, and ultimately struck • him. A scene of riot and confusion ensued, which only was put an end to by the police interfering, and taking the defendants into custody. - - Mr. CorrrNankm said he regretted to hear that such a practice as beating tin pots and kettles at a wedding still existed in the metropolis of a civilised country. ; and that it having been proved the defendants were prominent in;the dis graceful affair, and had assaulted the complainant, he should therefore adj udge them to find two sureties of 101. each, and enter into their-own recognisances in 201, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for six months. .. Monday Mr. - Cope; a solicitor, and secretary to the Anti- Bridge-Toll Association, attended, at the request of Mr. Cot thigham, for the purpose of answering a statement :Made at this court on Saturday by a Mr. Wardley, - retlecting on his character while filling the above situation. . Mr. Cope, addressing the magistrate, said, -that having read an ea , parte statement made against him on-Saturday by a Mr. Wardley in the newspapers of that (Monday) morning, he haA therefore attended to meet any charge that might be brought forward against him in his capacity of solicitor to the Anti-Bridge-Toll Association. MP. CoTrixonam said that Mr. Wardley had appeared before him on Saturday, and complained of the treatment he ad others had received who subscribed to the Anti-Bridge Toll Association. He said that he had not only given several pounds himself, but solicited his friends to do so, many of whom subscribed several hundred pounds. lie had since as certained it wake swindling transaction, and that the money was not expended for the purpose intended. He had made application to Mr. Cope, and had attended at the Mansion, House about two years ago, when Mr. Cope removedhis office from the City over to the Waterloo-road. Mr. Cope- had re fused to return the money to the subscribers, or give them any sa tisfaction ; and he added that he should not have given his money, or solicited his friends to do so, had not respectable names been attached to the prospectus of the company. M r , Cottingham said that the above was an outline of the state ment ma de against Mr. Cope, and that he now had an oppor tunity of replying to it, and that the person who had made the charge was in attendance. Mr. Cope handed in a list of the names of the Directors of the Anti-Bridge-Toll Association, amongst which appeared those of several persons of respectability, and said that they had exerted themselves to carry out the intentions for which it was established. Mr. Wardley said that he charged Mr. Cope now with con verting the proeeeds of the subscription to his own purposes , and not to that for which they were designed. Mr. Cope repelled the charge, and said there was no foun dation for it ; that Mr. Wardley had been- in the service of the company as a canvasser, from which situation' he was dismissed, and ever since had evinced his malignity by pro pagating unfounded reports ; that he had been at three or four of the public courts to make accusations, and that his object in doing s o was t o i n jure the acriety if he could. Air. CoTrusoui.m inquired if it was true thet Mr. Wardley had been a canvasser himself in the employ of the'conipany, za d r w . h w eth ar e d r i h ey e hed adin for he had not mentioned 4 in his statement on Saturday, an Fli th s e ch tic ar t g , ed an fr d om said that situation ? fordh.s serv ices. that it was rather e t x li t e rao 9D rdi mp n a a: owed hill rix mone a y liAm now said Mr. ur he should have omitted so important a fact as th a t of h i s being a discharged servant of the company made his previous statement, when he had Air. Cope said that the company was not indebted to Mr. Wadley, and that he had been amply repal(llcit Flue! IA 4 •Cfl4VPsert Mr. COTTINGHA3I said that it was evident from what had transpired on the subject that he could not entertain such a charge as that which Mr. `Yardley had insinuated against Mr. Cope in his previous statement. If persons subscribed to a railway to the moon, and had the folly to advance their money for the scheme without making inquiries, they must abide by the consequences ; but, on the contrary, if a false representation has been made for the purpose of obtaining money, he should know how to deal with it. This, however, was a totally different business ; there was no person to prove that the signatures to this Bridge Association were not sanc tioned by the parties themselves, and such an accusation coming from a discharged servant iinot entitled to that con sideration as if it was preferred by a subscriber or other per son so circumstanced. The parties, after some further conversation on the subject, then left the court. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RAILWAY TUNNEL LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, SEPT. 15.—A workman in the em ployment of the Grand Junction Railway Company, met his death in the tunnel on Saturday. His name was James Nixon, and he was fifty-five years old. The most absurd rumours prevailed as to the cause of his death. At the in quest, which was held to-day, several witnesses were ex amined, and among them John Woodward, a plate-layer, who said that about a quarter past ten o'clock on Saturday morning he sent the deceased, who was also a plate-layer, down the tunnel to sand the rails, as they were very wet. Four trains went down between the time he was sent and a quarter to twelve o'clock, at which time witness saw him dead. He was perfectly sober when he was sent into the tunnel. William Holland, the superintendent of the engine station at Edge-hill, said that about a quarter to eleven o'clock he went down the tunnel in a pilot-waggon ; and when about a quarter of a mile down he felt a slight obstruc tion on the rails, and heard a noise like the breaking of a piece of wood. He put the break on and stopped the waggon as soon as he could, got out, and looked along the line, and from the brightness of the rails he saw they were clear. He went down to Lime-street, and sent a man to examine the rails. William Jubilee Norton, a porter at the station in Lime-street, said he was sent up the tunnel by the last wit ness to see for something that was supposed to be upon the rails. He got a light for that purpose, and about a quarter of a mile from Edge-hill he found the deceased lying across the down rails, with one foot on one rail and his right hand upon the other rail. He was quite dead and cold. His right hand was com pletely crushed, and his left jaw was broken. There was also a wound upon the forehead, and another upon the back part of the head. He brought the deceased to Lime-street. Holland further stated that he afterwards went up to the place where the deceased was found, and there saw a wooden lamp, which was used at the station, broken, and this, in his opinion, was the obstruction deceased had met with in going down the tunnel. The lamp was the one that the deceased used. This was all the evidence, and the inquest was adjourned to afford time for a post mortem examination, it being surmised that the wounds upon the deceased were not sufficient to cause death, and that he must have fallen into a fit, in which state he died. WALKING MATCH.—Mountjoy's great match of walking fifty miles in thirteen hours, twenty miles back wards, for six successive days, commenced on Monday, at six o'clock. There could not be a more unfavourable day, the rain pouring heavily ; but not at all daunted, the pedestrian pursued his course, and accomplished the ten miles in the fol lowing time :—First ten miles in one hour and fifty minutes, the second ten miles in one hour and fifty-eight minutes. The walking backwards the first ten miles was completed in two hours and three-quarters, the second ten miles back wards in two hours and fifty-eight minutes. The fifty hurdles were afterwards leaped by Mountjoy in less than the specified time, ten minutes. He resumes this day at half past five A.m., from the Red Cow Tavern, Daiston. • A WANDERING LUNATlC.—Yesterday morning respectably-dressed man was brought to the police-station in the custody of four policemen. The unfortunate man had been wandering about the streets all night, and early in the morning followed a labouring man from Southampton-street to Rose-hill brick kiln, near Whitley. On his way he vio lently assaulted the man, tearing his shirt from his back, and also another labourer, who had a reaphook on his ann, and in so doing inflicted a. severe cut on his hand. He was then taken, but he was in such a state of outrageous madness as to require the united assistance of no less than four men, and even then they had great difficulty in restraining his violence. On being searched, four sovereigns and a valuable gold watch were foundion his person, also a card- case containing several cards, with the address of " Dr. Bartlett, Bentinck-street, Manchester-square." He was taken to the workhouse, and Mr. West, the governor, proceeded to London to make in quiry about him.—Beileshiri Chronicle. }RIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT SIR CHAPMAN MAR SMALL AND CO's.—On Monday morning a frightful accident occurred at the warehouse of Sir Chapman Marshall and Co., No. 179, Upper Thames-street, to a man named William Branton, aged about sixty years. It appears that the flaps of a large cellar door beneath and in front of the principal warehouse had been opened for the reception of some hogs heads of sugar, when Branton, who was in the yard, at tempted to get into the warehouse by clambering over the flap doors, and to assist himself he placed one of his feet on the edge of the wood, an d laid hold of a rope which was hanging near, and whilst in the act of raising himself his foot slipped, and the rope giving way at the same moment, he was precipitated to the bottom of the cellar. The cellar. man and others immediately ran to his assistance, when it was discovered that the back part of his head was com pletely smashed in. He was instantly conveyed in a carriage to St. Thomas's Hospital, where it was deemed necessary by Mr. South, the house-surgeon, to remove -several portions of the bone of the head. He lies without the slightest hopes of recovery. THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—On Monday, pursuant to instructions from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the lase portion of the old British Museum, formerly known as Montague !louse, was disposed of by auction, and which is to be cleared away for the site on which the new front if to be erected. This consisted of the centre building with the lofty dome, the- entrance hall, the grand staircase, with the various painted ceilings in the different apartments on the ground floor, comprising about 20 tons. of lead, the library, the show-rooms, the brick-work, &c. The lead fetched 3541, and the entire brick-work 3421., and the whole realised about 1,3001. The painted ceilings being executed on the plaister went for no higher price as a work of art, but the auctioneer offered a guinea for one of the figures on the ceiling in the secretary's room if it could be taken down perfect. The whole of the building must be cleared away in 28 working days, when the new stone front will be put up. This, it is expected will be shortly raised, as the walls are erected. In the interim the public will be admitted on Mondays, Wednes days, and Fridays, at a temporary entrance to the west of the large gates. ELornmENT.—The good people in the quiet neigh bourhood of W —e, in this county, have recently been somewhat excited by the circumstance of the elopement of a young lady, the eldest daughter of M— Esq., of with the son of a highly respectable farmer, also residing in that neighbourhood. The young gentleman had been paying his addresses to the lady a considerable time, but rather against the consent of her parents, and an intimation was given him that he had better be gone, or a very summary mode of ejectment would be adopted. This brought matters to a crisis, and Mr. S., though young in years (being only nineteen), proved himself, when. incited by love, no mean an tagonist. The lady's will was soon known, and the young swain equally soon arranged his plans. Accordingly on the night of the 19th ult., he arrived with a carriage at the dwel ling house of the lady. A.n opening of a window might have been heard in the darkness of night ; a light step upon a lad der; a movement of persons leaving the premises; a crack of a whip; and then the rattling of carriage wheels told the suc cess of the attempt. ' A quiet wedding took place in Chelten ham the next day, and the young lady rejoiced in the name of Mrs. S.—Gloucester Chronicle. SHEARERS' STRIKE.—On Monday morning, owing to a mistaken notion regarding the forwardness of the crops, the great body of the shearers at the cross refused to accept less than 35. per day of wages. The farmers offered but 2s. in consequence of the superabundance of hands at present ; dpi the result was, that, after a good deal of hooting and poise, the parties separated without coming to terms. The bulk of the farmers, or their representatives, left the cross without engaging hands ; but a great many of the towns people, who are in the habit of working at harvest labour, went quietly to the country during the after-part of the for the M orning, and engaged themselves. The originators of this differeiwe Pecmcal, for the most part, to be a nu m b er o f young h l lads from fersotm season.lreland, They traversed the streets during th e and in the evening they even greater part of the day, at tempted to annoy those who had gone out to labour, when returning into the New Town. There was no serious dis turbance however, and as the day following was wet in the morning, the dispdte was settM. qn Wednesday remark by tht farmers freely offering 2s. 6d: Or day.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY M - OSNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1845. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT DEFFORD. MONDAY, SEPT. 15.—The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate men who recently lost their lives on the Birmingham and Bristol line was resumed this morning, before C. Best, Esq. The COR•NER having read over the evidence adduced on the former occasion, the first witness now called was James Baird, the stoker of the goods train—l belong to Scotland, and am a stoker on the Bristol and Birmingham line. I knew Joseph Ward when living. He was driver of engine No. 75 on that line.. I was stoker to that engine. We left Gloucester on the night of the 30th of August, just after the mail train, leaving _about nine o'clock. We had twenty trucks, eighteen of them loaded and two empty. We had wood and iron rails. Coming to Bredon, the pumps of the engine rather filled. Ward would not let me put more fire to the engine, because he thought we need to put it out. Towards Eckington he said the pumps were working very well, and there should be more fire put on. I did so. Coming to Defford station, and on passing there, Ward said there was something wrong. He then shut off the steam. Imme diately afterwards I was thrown on the ground, and do not recollect what then then took place till I found some one pul ling at me. Ward was sober when we left Gloucester. We took water at Cheltenham, staying there about ten minutes. On approaching Defford 1 saw no signal lights, as my head was down attending to the fire all the way from Eckington to Defford. On passing Defford-road-bridge I saw no sig nals. I suppose he saw the truck when he said there was something wrong. I did not see the truck. Ido not know on what part of the train the guard was. Ward was a steady driver. He has never neglected signals that I know of. We were not going very fast when we came to Defford. We had been going about 30 miles an hour before the pumps were out of order, but I cannot say what pace it was at Defford. Between Bredon and Defford the steam was twice let off on account of the pumps being out of order. [The witness was pressed to define the exact rate of speed, but at first declared rather warmly that he could not, though at length he said it might have been thirty miles an hour.] It is, in many instances, the duty of the guard, and in others that of the driver, to inquire at the stations what time other trains have left. I saw the mail train leave Gloucester. We had no wish to The before that train, as we were ordered to stop till that had gone forward. I did not notice any lamp at the rear of that train, for I did not look. Ward said nothing to me about having seen signal lights between Eckington and Defford. If there had been lights, and in a proper place, he must have seen them. By the jurors—l consider the engine -driver to be one of the highest officers that should be. We sometimes discourse on the affairs of the company, and if any officer were dis charged, I should hear of it. I have heard of engine-drivers being discharged from this and other lines for disregarding signals. I cannot name any one in particular, nor have I been with any engine at such a time. On approaching Defford there was no whistle from our engine ; it is the en gine-driver's duty to sound it, and he should do so on ap proaching every station. Ido not know that he neglected it on any previous occasion. Sometimes when the boiler is too full of water, the whistle will not sound. The night of the accident was dark. I should think a light might be seen for a mile and a half on a straight line. It is usual, when any one on the engine sees a danger light, to communicate with his companions. There are two lights at every station, which may be made into signals by reversing them. [The solicitor to the company (Mr. Whateley) here stated that the com pany were about to use lamps of an improved construction, incapable of being blown out.] There has been an increase, rather than a decrease, of servants on the line. In case of accident to the driver I was capable of driving. Ido not be lieve that Ward was smoking; he was in the habit of chewing tobacco. His wages might be 6s. a-day. My wages are 35. 6d. a-day. Mr. Whateley here called Mr. M'Connell, the engineer, to speak to the character of Ward, the deceased. He deposed that Ward had been an engine-driver for eight years, and that Mr. Stephenson had told him that Ward was one of the men he had selected for the North Midland Railway, as a good and steady driver, and that he had satisfactory testi monials to that effect from various superintendents of rail ways, and from Laird, Kitson, and Co., eminent engine makers at Leeds ; and Mr. M'Connell always considered him to be considerably experienced in the management of an engine. The witness never employed any one, and particu larly drivers, without first receiving testimonials. The engine drivers' wages vary from 6s. to 75. per day, which is fully as high as the average of railways, and much higher than some in the North. The engine (Is, o. 75) was one of the largest on the line. The fire-box is of considerable size ; and if the fire was low, which, as a matter of caution, the driver had allowed it to be, owing to the failure of the pumps, thereby causing a risk to the fire-box and tubes if the fire were strong, I have no doubt that the time necessary to replenish the fire would be as long as the engine would take to travel the dis tance between Eckington and Defford. The failure of the whistle to act arises from different causes. When the water is what we call bad, it rises in combination with the steam, and prevents the whistle from sounding distinctly. When the driver, through neglect, pumps his engine too full of water, the same result ensues. This is not peculiar to any engine or railway, though some engines are better from their manner of construction, and having more steam room. The water on this line is bad, which of course in creases the liability. Our new engines are being made of the most approved form, to remedy this in some measure. The Company have been at great pains and expense to obtain better water. I discharged a man named Powell, in 1842, for disobeying a t ignal at Stoke ; and in several instances we have suspended drivers on similar charges till they had sa tisfactorily explained their conduct. Dismissal has invari ably followed any case of disobedience which has been re • ported. If there is one thing more than another I impress on drivers, it is the imperative necessity of paying strict at tention to signals, the peculiarity of our line rendering that of the greatest importance. If a man brought in an engine that was unable to whistle in consequence' of his having pumped in too much water, I should dismiss him. [The witness here spoke to the fact of boards being posted at the principal stations, ordering reports of any defect in the en gines, &c., to be made to the various firemen, who would make them known to him in their daily reports, which in cluded the time of arrival and departure of all trains, the condition of the tenders and engines, and of the men. By Mr. Mott—lf there had been a siding on the down line, in all probability the accident would not have occurred. By the CORONER—I believe the Company have no land to make a siding at the place where the accident took place. There is a station-master and a porter at Defford on ordinary occasions, but when extra business is expected another man is sent for from Birmingham, and is always sent. I think there are quite enough hands on the line now. We were rather short some time ago, but the number has been increased of late, and is now quite equal to the work. Shaw was em ployed as a signal-man on the night of the accident. No. 75 engine was worth about 1,500/., and No. 30, 900/. By the Jury—l have not to my recollection had occasion to punish Joseph Ward for neglect of duty. He was a steady man, and I had confidence in him. Thirty miles an hour is too great speed for a luggage train. I have never to my re collection received any report of his inattention to signals. Josiah Abbott had been a goods guard, but at his own re quest was allowed to take the duties of a porter occasionally. The guard's is a very responsible situation, as from him the driver takes his signals. If the guard on that occasion, as he stated, was between two trucks, and not in a position to see in both directions, he was in a wrong position. I consider that Abbott was very fit for the duties of a guard, although he occasionally acted as porter. The improvement with re gard to the whistle has been gradually taking place. I can not assign an exact date to it. The management of traffic belongs to the secretary or general superintendent of the line, Mr. Saunders. DREADFUL FIRE IN WILLIAM-STREET, Benjamin Giles, the stoker of the passenger train, de-. posed—l live at Bromsgrove, and am a stoker in the em ploy of the Bristol and Birmingham Company. On the night of the 30th of August I was on the quarter to eight train from Birmingham to Gloucester. Joseph Pickering was the driver. There were six carriages. When we came to where the repairs were begun we had to stop till the up mail train passed. W e then went on at a tolerable speed. At Wadborough we stayed, and also at B es f or d. Wh en we came in sight of Defford station the driver shut off the steam. I saw the red light on the platform. I put on my break, and on turning myself round saw something in the road steaming. The driver then reversed our engine, and I ran to the side to jump off. We both jumped off. A collision then took place, and I found that my arm was out of its socket, whereupon I went to the station. The red light was there as usual. Our driver was sob er . W e were a f ter our time, on account of stopping for the mail. I saw nothing of Miles (deceased) till he came to the station-h ouse . I saw nothing of Joseph Ward at any time. By the Jury—The red light was on our side of the plat form. The inquest was then adjourned'till Wednesday (this day) BLACKFRIAR S. ,FIRE AT RINGWOOD. -- FRIDAY NIGHT, TEN so'CLocx.—We write under feelings of great excitement ; a terrific fire broke out this evening, a little before eight o'clock, White co at m tl p ietelyburnt to Hart thesta bles, which in a very short time wer e ground, being thatched. It was with the greatest difficulty all the horses, except one fine animal, have been safely got out. Much damage, we fear, has been dime in removing, the goods and furniture of the adjoining houses. There is now a considerable mass of fire, on which the engines are playing, but we hope no further devastation will follow.—Hampshire Independent. 'SHOCKING OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN THE REGENT'S QUADRATIT.—On Sunday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a shocking accident occurred in the Regent's-quadrant, Regent street, opposite, Vine-street, to a respectable elderly gentleman of the name of Holmes. He was crossing the Quadrant,' when he was suddenly knocked down by the horses of one of the Brompton omnibuses, and beforethe driver of the omnibus had the opportunity of pulling his horses up, they trampled on the chest and body of the unfortunate gen tleman. The wheels of the vehicle also passed over his body, injuring him severely.. The stretcher from Vine-street polite station was immediately procured, and the unfortunate sufferer was removed on it to Charing-cross Hospital. Se extensive; are the injuries sustained, both externally and internally, that he lies in an alarming and precarious state. Rumours are still afloat of the intention of several other Puseyites to follow forthwith the example of Mr. Ward, of quitting the communion of the Church of England, and going over to that of the Church of Rome. The sooner the better. They ought to have been in the bosom of the latter Church long ago. The fact of their remaining in the Angli can ChUrch for years after they had avowed themselves to be, in heart, members of the Roman system, is discreditable to them in the highest degree, not only as Christians, but as men. Their lips and their lives have been at variance. Th ey have been acting a great falsehood. The injury which such conduct must inflict of morals, it would be impossible to overrate. We quarrel with no man for his religious opinions, however much they may differ from our own. All we ask and all we expect is, that men will act out what they profess, and not practise the very reverse of what they profess to believe.—Advertiser. DISTRICT ASYLUMS FOR THE HousELEss.—The project for erecting asylums for the houseleas in several parts in and around the metropolis, has met with strong opposi_ tion in Marylebone and Greenwich. A meeting of the rate payers and others of both parishes have been held for the purpose of opposing the project, and deputations appointed to wait upon the Poor-law Commissioners. In the first pa rish, 24 guardians were appointed to wait upon the Com missioners, but the latter refused to receive such an impos_ ing array of parochial wisdom. The number has since been reduced to eight. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—A CAUTION.- -011 Satur day information was circulated of a robbery committed on Thursday, at the house of Mrs. Murray, No. 1 , Orme square, Bayswater, by two men, who falsely pretended to be locksmiths sent by Mr. Cutting, a furnishing ironmonge r in Oxford-street, to repair the locks. They remained about the house for two hours, apparently busied in the repairs of different locks, but in the meantime found an opportunity, during the temporary absence of the butler, to steal from his pantry a quantity of plate, consisting, of old-fashioned silver spoons and forks, of the various sizes, bearing the crest, a " helmet." Upon inquiring of Mr. Cuttinff, it digtovoid - thpknewknp about their. Of fhe'relhiWs ipkred tp be' about twouty-ight years of age, flve'feet five inches high, of dark complexion, and dressed in black velvet jacket and dark trousers. The other was much younger, and rather taller than his companion, and wore a corded jacket, with fustian trousers, and brown alfth car At a quarter past one o'clock yesterday, a fire, which though now of the most serious character, threatened at its first out break to be productive of infinitely more serious results, was observed on the premises of Sir Charles Price and Co., the eminent oil and turpentine merchants. The flames from, we sup pose, the combustible nature of the materials within the buildings, burst at once from the roofs and windows, and so intense was their power, that some coal barges, moored before the Pigs Quay and Capel and Slaughter's .wharfs, at once took fire, and the men working in them were glad (although the river was at high tide), to leap over board, trusting to the chances of being picked up by the small craft that were plying about. Soon the Thames itself as sumed a singular appearance from the streams of oil, turpen tine, &c., which floated upon it, and were like so many tongues of fire, darting hither and thither, presenting to the astonished vision of those upon Blackfriars-bridge a picture as unique as it was appalling. Great fears were at first entertained that the wharves, and, in particular, the gas-works in the vicinity, would catch, but fortunately a plentiful supply of water from the land-side as well as from the London Fire Company's brigade upon the river, confined the fire to the pile in which it had originated, although such was the inflammable substances inside, that after the roof had fallen, and the warehouses been regularly gutted, vivid masses of flame ever and anon sprung up, giving distinct evidence that continued and un remitted attention would be required to conquer the insidious and powerful enemy. We may mention that a fire-engine on the Thames, belonging to the Com pany already mentioned, was, with several coal barges, burned to the water's edge. Of course no opinion can be hazarded as to the amount of loss, but certainly it must be very great. We have heard that the loss is not likely, however, to fall upon one insurance office only, but that two or three will be sufferers to some amount. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.) 11AT PfiLlaliETS.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is firm, and fully previous prices have been obtained for the quantity sold, but only a limited business has been done privately. About 750 casks have been disposed of, inclusive of those brought to auction. The public sales have consisted principally of 100 casks Barbadoes, 180 casks Berbice, 7,642 bags Mau ritius, 1,132 bags Bengal, 430 boxes white Havannah. Nearly all the East and West India found buyers and went off with spirit at fully previous prices, and in some instances rather dearer for the brown descriptions of Mauritius, of which the parcel chiefly consisted, and being mostly in small lots no accurate quotations can 'be given. All the Havannah was withdrawn much above the value, viz., at 40s to 41s 6d for very low to mid greyish white, but of fair quality.

" The Royal Navy Board hereby makes known for the Information of mariners, that the coal light on the Gronskaret, situated outside the Sandhanun entrance to Stockholm has been changed to a sentille light of the third class, ' a feu Ilse,' and from the commence ment of the present month, will be kept turning at the times ap pointed for other lighthouses in the :kingdom. This light will be visible in clear weather from an ordinary ship's deck, at four geo graphical or German miles distance—its white flame will differ con siderably from the more yellow of Korso Lighthouse, situated 14 of a mile within Gronskaret."

A letter, received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Salonica, of the 27th of August last, mentions, a, report of pirates having been met with in that neighbourhood. A vessel of the country had been boarded and plundered off Skyros of provisions and effects. The Turkish Vice-admiral, Hassan Pasha, had gone in search of them. The pirate vessels are said to be four in number. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MRS. THEOBALD.—This lady, so well known in the sporting world, especially by those who hunt with the Queen's hounds, died on Saturday, at eight o'clock, in consequence of the injury she received on Fri day by a fall from her horse. The facts of the case are these : —Mrs. Theobald, in company with a gentleman, on passing by the fields of Mr. Humphries, farmer, of Hanworth, made a request to be allowed to try her horse over the stubble, which was readily granted. She entered, but had not gone far, when the horse fell, and the crutch of her saddle breaking at the same time, she was thrown on her head with great violence. She remained senseless for some time. Mr. Hum pries sent immediately for Mr. Hobarton, surgeon, of Hamp ton, who readily attended. He, however, from the first, saw that there existed no hopes of Mrs. Theobald's recovery. The unfortunate lady was removed to her residence at Feltham, and, as we have already stated, she died on Saturday, An inquest was on Monday afternoon held on the body before Mr. Mills, deputy-coroner for West Middlesex. when the jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death. ACCIDENT AT WOTTON.—The Post published a paragraph this morning, stating that the Duke of Bucking ham, while out on a shooting excursion yesterday, in the neighbourhood of Wotton, had the misfortune to have one of his hands severely injured from the bursting of the gun while loading. The statement was incorrect, as appears from the following account in a second edition of the Post:— " Tuesday, .ten A.m.—We hasten to correct the statement above given, so far as the Noble Duke himself is concerned. The accident alluded to did not occur to his Grace, but to Mr. James Hogg, son of Mr. Hogg, M.P. for Beverley, who was of the Duke's shooting party at Wotton, yesterday. We should here mention that our information of the accident was derived from a gentleman who came to town last night by the express train, which passed the Tring sta tion at half-past nine o'clock 1..31. It was there currently re ported and believed that the Noble Duke was the sufferer, and it was stated that a gentleman was in attendance at the station to meet two physicians from London, who were ex pected by the mail train. While we rejoice to learn that the Noble Duke has sustained no injury, it is with great regret that we confirm the accident to Mr. Hogg, who, as our readers are aware, is a promising young officer in the Guards. Mr. Hogg is going on very well, and it is hoped that the accident will not render the amputation of more than one finger ne cessary. The Duke of Buckingham arrived in town this morning." Six officers of the depot of the 43d Light Infantry, quartered at Dover Castle, rowed in a light six-oared regatta galley from Dover to . Boulogne last week. They started early in the morning with a coxswain, and reached their destination in safety before noon. The Gazette de Cologne states the negotiations between the Zollverein and the Low Countries had com pletely failed, and that this result is attributed to the com bined influence of France and England, which two powers, it is said, are negotiating with Holland for commercial treaties. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH OF ONE OF THE GREENWICH BOARD OF GUARDIANS.-011 Monday afternoon, about half-past four, as Mr. Maze, a highly respectable auctioneer, residing and carrying on business in Park-row, Greenwich, leading to Maze-hill, was standing talking to a gentleman at the corner of South -street and Blackheath-hill, he was observed suddenly to stagger, and before the person lie was talking to could catch him, he fell. Upon being raised, he was carried into the shop of Mr. Grey, grocer and oilman, one of the overseers of the parish, where medical aid being sent for, promptly attended, when it was discovered that the deceased had breathed his last. A shell was immediately procured, and the unfortunate deceased was removed to his own house, where the body now lies awaiting a coroner's inquest. The venerable deceased was in his 75th year, and much respected by all who knew him, having filled successively all the parochial offices. SUPPOSED CASES OF INFANTICIDE.—Monday, two supposed cases of infanticide occurred in Mr. Baker's (Coro ner for) district of East Middlesex. The first case was that of a new-born female, whose body was found floating, on Saturday morning last, in a branch of the River Lea, called Bromley Lock. The second case was that of a newly-born male child, which was found by a waterman floating off Blackwall-stairs yesterday morning. Both bodies were in a decomposed state. They await a coroner's inquest. ADMIRALTY STORES.—The contract for the supply of cocoa for the use of the Admiralty department has been accepted by the following parties, viz. :—Mr. A.

DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A FOREIGN GEN mzmAm.—On Sunday morning, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, James Barritt, a lighterman belonging to the Pelham canal boat, whilst proceeding up the Regent's Canal, between the planta tions and the bridge, discovered the body of a person floating in the water. Be immediately gave an alarm, and with the assistance of two men got the body upon the bank. They found it to be that of a gentleman apparently between twenty and thirty years of age. In his trousers there was found a purse and a pocket-book, and in the waistcoat a foreign knife, and threepence in coppers. In the purse were Ave francs and two louisd'ors ; the pocket-book contained a number of letters and papers, and in a small piece of greets silk there was a cross of the Legion of Honour. The letters were all in French; some of them, however, are quite Illegible ; all, however, bear the Toulon postmark, and are directed "M. G. Autzler, Hotel, Lisle street, London." Upon the small finger of the right hand there was a plain gold ring, and upon the same finger of the left one sot In onyx and pearls. The body lies at Mr. Payne's, the Harrow, await ing the Coroner's inquiry. SERIOUS Loss or LIFE.—On Tuesday afternoon last the son of Mr. Dickson, proprietor of the !London and Brampton waggon, met with his death in the following most awful manner :—The unfortunate sufferer was driving down William-hill, Hertfordshire, followed by Mr. Sergeant's Bed ford waggon. It was said that Dickson was boasting of the style in which his horses could come down the hill without being checked by him ; they began to trot, and soon he lost all power over them—he went to the head of the leaders, but he could not stop them until they ran foul of a public-house on the way side; he was crushed against the wall, one shaft having run into his bowels ; every assistance that the place could render him was given, but he, however, after a short period of the most agonisings uffering, ceased to exist. We hear one of the horses also was killed, but how true this is we cannot confidently assert. —Bedford News.
