ACHE LA Ti FA I'AL itA IL WA.Y ACCIDEN T. • CHESTZRFORD, A uo. 6.—The place where the late fearfu accident occurred is situated half way between Wendon and Chesterford, about a mile from Littlebury, forty-three miles from London, and fourteen from Cambridge. The line is here at an inclination of about one foot in les, and there is a slight curve where the accident took place. There is also an em bankment, a temporary e, we beLve, on either side of the ,road, to a very slight event; and most providentially . had it teeu thrown up (the excavation of the neighbouring tun erel), or the train must have tumbled off the line into the field beneath, a tall of from ten to twelve feet, in which case many of the passengers must have lost their lives, and none es caped without serious bodily injury. General Pasley arrived between eleven and twelve o'clock to-day at Chestertord, in the train which left London at half past nine, accompanied by Mr. Phelps. the engineer of the line. In a few minutes after the General's arrival at Chester ford an engine and tender were in rer"dine•s at the nation, and be prom ded to the scene of the accident, accompanied by Mr. Phepps, engineer of the line; Mr. Anson. 'Manager of the traffic ; Mr. Joseph Jackson, contractor of the line from Bran don to Cambridge ; Young, the driver on the unfortunate oe -easiest); rime or two other offieial , of the Company ; and the re por ers of the London and local journals, who, with Mr. An so.i's consent, joined the parry. The first object which struck us, on alighting, was one of the second-class carriages—there had been two on the train— lyinr, disabled co the right-hand side of the rod front London. .It had a couple of wheels off, and was slightly damaged in eother respects. About torty or fifty yards onward in the same -direction, and on the same side of the road, lay the other :second-class carriage, smashed and shattered to a frightful -event with 'four of ita wheels off, and the roof burned through in various directions. A few yards onwards, and on the right band side also, lay the roof of the horse-box mentioned in the report of yesterday, which was slightly shattered. On the other side, nearly opposite, lay the tender, turned right over, in the very position in which it had been upset ; and onward, on the lett-hand side, was the body of the horse-box, with the pannels slightly injured on the sides, the back part burned, arid the front briirken completely away. The engine was fernlved, it appears, .from the spot to the Cambridge side of the Chesterford station. _En passant one may be permitted to ob-erve, without attach ing the Aadow of blame to any ene concerned, that it would apitear just and reasonable to leave the component parts of the wreck as near to the place of accident, and as they lay re - 'pretty , ly as the c•nvenit"nce of the public traffic admits of, for it is seat-evident that such an observance would facilitate the üb-equrnt investigation. After General Pasley had minutely examined the state of the carriage,, &c., he proceeded to view the spot of the acci dent. On mea-urement, it appeared that it was 103 yardh from where the first jump was telt and the spot where the car riages were forced off the rail. The point. then, of considera tion wad, whether the accident was occasioned by excessive peed causing such a violent oscillation as eventually to throw the carriages off the line, or a turning up of one of the rails, caused by the iminedi ‘tely-precedieg train. On this General Pasley offered no opinion. The general feeling in the neigh bourhood is, that the train was going at considerably upward of thirty miles an hour, to make up a few minutes of lost time. The engineer declares, on ihe other hand, that the -peed was "cot more than twenty-eight miles an hour. General Pasley *aye no opinion as to the cause of the accid, at. It appears almost miraculous how the passengers in the second-class carriage, so dreadfully injured, as already described, could hive escaped not only without loss of life, or limb, in a single instance, but absolutely without a wound or a bruise worth speaking of--yet such is the fact. Some of this resulted from the calmness and presence of mind displayed by Mr. Jackson, the contractor of the line from Brandon to Cambridge. Tins gentleman was in the crepe in front of the first-class car ri..ges, such a lady, Mrs. Balfour, of Norwich. In the very first ins ante of the shock he held her bick in her seat by , mein twee, arid prevented her Irom b'ing sent through abe window in front. When the upset no k place he got in antiv out, and having extricated lila coon anion, he proceeded to assist the ether passengers, and each, who hail anything like prt soiree of mind, as they got free lent a hand in emanci pating their companions. As might be expected, a great many, especially of the female passengers, were dreadoely prostrated, and it took some time to bring them to a serve of the tact that they were far more hightened than hurt. It was a singular fact, that amongst the first to escape, and beh're :iir• Jackson.could get from the carriage in which he sat, were t eree children, who went through the window of one of the :cried-c►ass carriages, one after another, as if they were *het Out, and landed on the bank, perfectly unhurt. ' When it via, perceived that the horse-box was on fire in Cie rear, the front Ives judiciously broken in, and the animals yteepeo otit, and were thus saved, without hurt or bl-mish. The poor stoker, Richard Peat, had taken this his first trip on the :north-Eastern line as an experimental one, being a ie,ver on the ;Midland. Counties. ."

MARSEILLES, AUGUST 2, 1845.—We have just received, from our correspondent at Toulon, the news of a disaster which will plunge the country in consternation. The Mouril lon of Toulon, the rich and immense :depot of stores for our military and navy, has become a prey to the flames. It is with an unspeakable feeling of grief that we lay the following ac count of the catastrophe before our readers : _ " TOULON, AUGUST 1, 1845.-1 write these lines in pre sence of an immense disaster. Our magnificent establish ment of the Mourillon is on fire since this morning. At half-past eleven the alarm-gun was heard, and the alarm bell of the arsenal sounded the tocsin. The whole town was immediately in a state of commotion, and every one was seen hurrying to the arsenal to inquire the occasion of the unusual summons, but it soon became evi dent of itstlf. Columns of smoke were seen to proceed from the Mourillon, and with the least possible delay the fire en gines of the Arsenal were brought to that spot, and the greater portion of the labourers of the Arsenal, and all the disposable troops of the garrison were sent to work them. The Marine Prefect, the general commanding the department, the Mayor of the town, and the other authorities, were also in a very short time at the scene of the disaster. But, alas, all their efforts were nearly useless. The fire was hardly discovered, when it seiz-d upon the principal sheds, under which were piled almost all the timber for the use of the dockyard. The flames ro-e to an immense height. Up to the present moment the firemen have been able to save the saw mills, an establish ment which cost immense sums, and the ships on the stocks. The lo.s, however, is calculated at 25 millions of francs. It is verb difficult to explain flow the fire in the daytime could have gained so much head before it was discovered. When the first. alarm was given, it had already created frightful ravages. Some attribute the fire to the convicts, many of whom contrived to escape in the midst of the onfusion." The Semaphore adds that travellers who left Toulon at eight o'clock at night, say that the fire was still raging, and that a great number of lives had been lost. There was some alarm for the parts of the town in the neighbourhood of the fire. ( From the Seel de Marseilles.) Toutose, AUGUST I.—A terrible fire broke out at half-past eleven o'clock this morning, in the marine Arsenal at the Mourillon. 'fhe tocsin and the alarm-gun of the admiral's guard-ship immediately announced this misfortune, and means were adopted to extinguish the fire, but in vain. The fire broke out simultaneously in several parts 'of the great covered wood-yard. Every part soon became a prey to the flames, which also destroyed all the neighbouring piles of wood. The offices were also burnt to the ground. Fortunately the wind, which was from the east-south-east, and blew hard, though it excited and extended the fire of the wood-yard, pre vented it from communicating with the ships on the stock. Nevertheless; the loss is immense. The fire still continues at the moment I write (seven o'clock in the evening ; but with much less ititensene4, and o wee - can now say that it will not extend further. About. tifteen wounded per sons have been carried to the hospital. The fire can be attri ' buted to nothing but maliciousness. It is attributed to the con victs, several of whom have escaped. THE LONDON tail 1) YORK SELECT COMNIITTE E. At eleven on Wednesday morning the Committee to which Mr. Bruce's petition was referred by the House assembled in Committee-room No. 2, Mr. Hawes in the chair. The lobby and passages were crowded by the gentlemen interested in the proceedings, many of whom were m a state of the highest po•sible eac tement at being, as they termed it, dragged before the public in such a shameful way." Indeed, it would seem from their appearance that many of them had been annoyers by the allegations of the petitions, and loud and deep were the threats uttered and oaths sworn that " actions would be brought. against those rascals for defamation." As Mr. Parkes, Mr. Croucher, Mr. Bruce and other parties in terested tor the petition passed to and fro, they were greeted with sardonic •• Ha ! has 1" and derisive laughter, and even less pleasant manifestations, by the gentlemen whose character and position they had assailed. Many of those who knew each other indulged themselves in bitter mirth,—" Pooh, Sir, don't speak to me, you're only a man of straw !" and " You've a fic titious residence, according to Mr. Bruce." In fact, the out of-door proceedings were anything but pleasant; It was under stood, for only the parties were admitted inside, that Mr. PARKES, agent for the petitioner, at the sitting of the Committee, requestea leave to postpone the case, owing to the sitting of the House of Lords' Committee, before which be would be required to attend. Mr. CoATas, of the firm of Dyson, Hall, and Coates, Par liamentary agents, resisted this application, on the wound that it would nor be lair to yield to it when it had been stated that the petitioner was ready to prove the allegations reflecting on the character of so many gentlemen. The Committee cleared the room to deliberate, and even tually decided that the case should go on. Mr. Bruce was then called, and stated that he drew up his petition on the information of Mr. Parkes and Mr. Humphrey, solicitors to the Cambridge and Lincoln and Tottenham Rail ways, and knew nothing of the facts personally. He ex pressed his regret to find that his petition contained some mis statements, which he intended to abandon. Mr. PA RYES then applfrd for leave: to select some cases from the list, 17 out of 66, to which Air. CoATas objected with suttee=, as The Committee decided that the cases were to be taken seriatim. Mr. ince was then called, and stated' that he directed his application from Coombs-hid, the residence of his mother, but that he really resided in Canonbury•street. The COMMITTEE decided that the address was good. Major Griffiths, who expressed himself very warmly at the reflection and mt.-statement in the petition, was also called, and a.ked a few questions pro forme, as it at once appeared that he was a most respectable gentleman, and had given his address from his mother's residence. In this case, and in those of Mr. Dart, of Mr. Clarke, and of Mr. Elliot (to whom the Chairman expressed his regret at the necessity for appearing before them, as he (the Chairman) would be most ready to give him a character), the decision of the CJmmatee was, that the allegations in the petition were untrue. The case of two brothers named Guernsey, who were proved to be the sons of a person in a very humble rank of life, was next brought forward. It appeared that one of them was a cle.k to a sharebroker named Mortimer, and the other in a wine-merchant's office, and that they had been induced to apply far and had procured shares to a large amount in the line, the deposits on which had been paid for them. The Committee at seven o'clock adjourned to twelve o'clock to•morrow. The Official Gazette of Stockholm announces that the King of Sweden has nominated the Duke do Glncksberg and M. de Nion, Commanders, and M.-Mauboussin, Knight of the Order of the Polar Star, and presented each of them with the decoration in diamond., as a reward for the diplomatic as sistance rendered by them in his negotiations with the Em peror of Morocco for the suppression of the tribute which he had previously paid to that power. The Wonder steam-packet, on the Southampton station, since her return from the exyerimental squadron down the Channel (where she eclipsed every other vessel in speed) has become a great favourite with the public both on the Havre and Channel islands station, and has tarried, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather during the past week, in one voyage on the Havre station, 132 passengers ; and ono on the Channel 'islands station, 191 ; making a total of 323 pas sengers, among whom were several families of distinction. l'he average passage of the Wunder has been seven hours and a half, being only six hours of sea voyage. ANEW ZEALAND.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—An important petition with regard to the affairs of New Zealand has been numerously signed in this town to-day, and it will be immediately dispatched to the House of Commons. It refers with expressions of dismay to the peril of our fellow-subjects in that distant land, and prays that as the amernment are taking o measures to remove or alleviate the causes of disorder, the House will nut separate without taking steps to ensure a change in the policy hitherto pursued towards the colony. This pe tition will be forwarded fur presentation to Mr. C. Buller. CHANGE RINGING EXTRAWIDI:...IitY.—The London 3ociety of Collage Youths had their annual excursion in Kent last week, and after ringing in the most scientific methods at several places arrived at H)the, noar Folkstone, and succeeded in accomplishing a true and complete peal of the Kent varia tion of treble-bob-major. consisting of 5,024 changes, in three hours and ten minutes. The peal was conducted by Mr. John Friend. And on Monday last, the same society met at St. James's, Bermondsey, and rang a true and complete peal of Kent treble-bob-royal, containing 5,040 changes, in three hours and thirty-one minutes, it teing the fist peal rnng in London in that method on ten bells. The peal was conducted by Mr. John Cox. FlRE.—Between one and two o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning, a fire broke out in the large colour factory of the Messrs. Berger, at Homerton, Hackney, which at its commencement, from the inflammable nature of an ex ,ensive portion of the stock on the premises, threatened the most disastrous consequences. The building in which the fire was discovered was filled with colours undergoing the process of drying by means of a furnace, which maintains a temperature of the place not lower generally than 150 degrees. This build ing was speedily one mass of flame, and the whole of its valua ble contents totally destroyed. The parish engine was speedily on the spot, and was soon afterwards followed by several en gines from London. Fortunately the burning building was de tached from the long range of warehouses connected with the manufactory, which the exertions of the fire brigade, aided by a plentiful' supply of water, preserved from any serious damage. Tree precise cause of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have been occasioned by the over-heated state of the furnace. The loss, which is considerable, will, it is understood, fall upon the Messrs. Berger; the hazardous nature of their business having prevented"them from effecting an insurance. A large number of police were on the spot, and rendered efficient service. _ _ _ I.ovE AlsiD SUICIDE.—Mr. Gell held au inquest on Wednesday, at t he Prince's Head, Buckingham -street, Strand, on the bod, of Phoebe Lawrence, aged 26, servant to Mrs. Eivens. of James..treet, Haymarket. From the evi .denee of the witnesses, it appeared that for the: last two yeers deceased had been attached to a young man, named Philip Juttell, and, from his promises, expected him to marry her. On Tuesday last, hearing that be had been mar ried, she went to the stables where he was employed, and asked him whether what she had heard was true. He told her that it was, and at the same time gave her a piece of the wedding-cake, which she threw on the ground and, trampled on. Jutiell's broken promises, and the manner in which she herhad m be i, en tre t . r s ea u id, dera nge d h er i n t e ll ec t s , a nd from that day d she had been in a state of frenzy. ' On the following Sunday she went to a surgeon's in the neighbour hood, and bought two pennyworth of arsenic, saving that it was for her master to destroy rats, and on the next afternoon intoxicated herself with spitits, and swalloWed it. Her mistress iearning what she had taken, bail tier conveyed to Ch. ring • cross 11(N:will, but there ve wa n s li c thent_.n, 'tempo r ary jo i r ,f ar h y er in r s e a e n o i v t e y r ." y, and on Tuesday she died. Sir Georg:- Hayter, who has tken suffnin g from concussion of the brain arid wounds in the liead.ard legs, occa sioned by the accident on the Dover Railroad, on Monday, the 28th ult., is so far recovered that it is hoped he will shortly be enabled to leave his bedroom, although it must be many days before he will be enabled to walk, or even stand with ease.

On leaving the dock, he impudently excleineed, " Thank, you, my Lord ; I am obliged to you fur that. An innocent chap, too ; but never mind, it can't be helped." Joseph Shipp, 30, was indicted for stealing eight sheep, at Horton, on the 6th May, the property of Mary Sidney. The prisoner, a butcher, living at Bristol, was seen late at night in a lane near the field from which the sheep were stolen. It was proved that he slaughtered eieht sheep at Sodhury, the skins of which be sold to a fell monger at Bristol, for 6s. 6d. each—three of those so sold were identified by the bailiff and shepherd of Mrs. Sidney, front a saddle mark on them Mr. GetkavEs contended that the identity of the skins was by no means proved ; and that the evidence did not iix the prisoner with the robbery. Verdict—Not Guilty. Frederick Selby, 20, a genteel-looking young man, was in-liet,-d tor so-sling a hors, , at Cheltenham, on the 13th of June ? the property of Thomas Williams. He hired a horse and gig from Mr. Williams to go to Tewkesbury and back, on the Friday nfternoon, saying he should return at ten o'clock. He did nut, and nothing being heard of him, Mr. Williams went to Tewkesbury and Upton on Sunday, but could gain no tidings of the prisoner or his horse and gig. On his return in the evening he feund a letter waiting for him, bearing the Worcester post mark. signed " John Rowe," ,tattier that business bad called him on to Worcester ; but the horse woule be well kept, and he sh.,uld return on Monday. It appeared that on Friday night he ar rived at the Crown Hotel, Worcester, stopped there until Monday at two o'clock, when, having had the horse saddled, he rode out at that hcur, urderin e dinner at four. He, however, did not return ; but rode on to Bir minghatn, where he put up at the King's I leld Inn, and on the following morning hired a horse and gig from Mr. Fisher, of that town, with which he went to Suttoe park races. On his return he said he had lost all his money on the first race, but had written home for a re mittance, and he supposed it. made no diff-rence. Mr. Fisher told him it did not. and lie then left the yard, but returned, saying he had a horse at. the King's H. ad, which was of no use to him, and be would sell it. He asked 121, and Mr. Fisher agreed, after examining the animal, to give him eight pounds, and it was removed to his stables adjoining. He said he had the horse of Mr. Wright, of Bristol, and gave a card as follows :—" C. and J. Wright, cheese-factors, Welsh Back, Bristol." On the reverse was written, in ink, "Mr. Rowe, Mr. Ford's, Greyhound; Gloucester." Mr. Fisher said, if he knew any respeetable referee, he would pay the money at. once. The prisoner referred to a Mr. Barnett, to whom Mr. Fisher proposed to go. He, however, said he would go into the hote l, and dine first, which he did, and while at dinner he- was . apprehended by Inspector Glossop, who told him it was for stealing a horse and gig. The prisoner said, "It is a mistake." He was asked his name, and said, " Selby." Mr. Williams identified his horse. He• found the gig at the Crown, with a demand of 16s. 6d., incurred by the prisoner there. Mr. Rowe deposed that he never sold the prisoner a horse, or wrote any letter respecting one. A long argument ensued between the counsel as to the evidence of the . : intention of the prisoner when he hired it, Mr.H UpDLESTONE contending on several autho rities and' cases cited, that it was not a felony; that there was no conversion,_ the contract was not completed, or the sale perfected; as it was clear Mr. Fisher would not buy the horse till he was satisfied. Mr. Justice PATTESON said this case differed, how ever, from those quoted, inasmuch as the possession was changed. He differed from the view taken, but he would reserve the point fur the fifteen Judges. The Judge' decided ,that 'the letter signed " John Rowe" could not be received in evidence., there being no proof that the prisoner wrote it. Mr. HIIDDLESTONE denied that the prisoner had any felonious intention at the time of hiring. Verdict—Not Guilty. The foreman said—Selby, you have done very wrong; mind you never come here again. The JuDcE s —Gentlemen, I agree with you. I don't think he had the intention at first ; I hope it will be a warning to all young men. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Coventry, Aug. 5. VISITATION OF THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER. WORCESTER, MONDAY AFTERNOON. - The Lord Bishop of Worcester held a visitation at the Cathedral in this city to-day. There was a very full attendance of the clergy, and the wardens of the church, by whom it was expected that his Lordship would, in his charge, advert to the recent dissensions in the Church. Morning service commenced at eleven o'clock. prayers being read by the Rev. A. Wheeler, precentor. The Rev. D. J. Stevenson, honorary canon of the cathedral, and chaplain to the Lord Bishop, then preached an excellent sermon from Acts x., v. 42 and 43, "And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained of God to be the judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remis sion of sins." The Reverend Preacher's discourse from the above text had reference entirely to the duties and obligations of the Christian minister, the Reverend Preacher ob serving, that the consideration of these duties was at the present time of excitement, aarm, and suspiciotain the Church, of the utmost importance. He then divided his discourse under three heads, comidering first, the origin and offices of ministers of the Gospel, tracing the origin of their ministrations to the Foun tain of all Wisdom in the command delivered to Peter on the mount, "Go thou and teach all nations ;" secondly, the Rev. Preacher dwelt upon the nature and description of the offices or Christian ministers as minis ters and witnesses ; and lastly en the objects of their ministration ; concluding a most appropriate discourse, by exhortations to his brother clergy and the laity, the formes to cultivate mutual charity in their ministration, and the latter to receive God's Word from them, not as from men hut from God, adding nought thereto, neither diminishing anything therefrom. The Bishop, accompanied by Chancellor, Phillimere and other officers of the court, the clergy and parochial churchwardens, then proceeded to the court behind the altar, when the names of the clergy and churchwardens were called over, after which his Lordship took his seat within the communion railings and delivered his charge to the clergy. His Lordship's charge had reference almost exelu sivelY to those matters which have recently agitated the Churchviz., the question of the revival of obsolete forms and usages. His Lordship observed that the first matter which had presented itself to his mind, as most calling for remark from him on this occasion of his triennial visitation, was important, not only on account of its effect, but of the specious grounds on which it rested—he meant an undue- regard for anti ' quities which had latterly been maeifested and dwelt upon by theological writers, and which extended not only to the forms and ceremonies of the Church, but related also to architectural matters ; and he proceeded first to consider whether there were sufficient grounds for such reverential observances of these antiquities. Here he fund that scanty as were the books which had reached us written by authors living in the first century of the Christian era, and invaluable as those works were in establishing the fact of the early circulation of the Scriptures, they did not assist in 'clearine those points which now agitated the Church. Not only was it unsafe to appeal to those authorities, because so few records had reached us, but also because there was reason to believe that in those early days the Church had become' much corrupted ; and it might be doubted whe ther the early fathers, while engaged in refuting the errors which had crept into the Church, had not really been imbued with their latent heresy. Hence we were struck with the differences which seest between the doctrines taught by the inspired thllowers of our Lord, and those .inculcated by the ancient fathers of the Church. By the former they were taught that the expiation of sin was through the vicarious intercession of Him who sacrificed himself for us upon the cross ; and by the latter they were strictly enjoined to expiatory penances and fasts. But if the paucity of writers in the three first centuries of the ihristian era rendered it unsafe to trust to them, he asked should they be more successful if, abandoning these, they had recourse to the writings of the fourth and following century ? Much stress had been laid upon the writings of the fourth and fifth centuries of Chris tianity as authorities not to be questioned regarding Ca tholic doctrines ; but here errors much more fatal to Christianity were found to prevail. The contest between Christianity and Paganism finally ended in the victory of the former, though that victory was not won without -erne sacrifice. His Lordship then alluded to Roman Catholic •processions as in use in Italy. and their similarity to the Pagan rites. All these ancient autho rities were contradictory one to another ; if; therefore, they were to regard antiquity, it became a question which of the fathers they should adopt. Should they believe some who affirmed that the blessed should live for a thousand years in Elysium, or should they treat that doctrine as others of the same day had done—viz., as the idle dream of a child. "In short," said his Lordship, " he who trusts to antiquity will find so much diversity of opinion among those styled the fathers of the Cnurch,' that he will so be tossed about upon these troubled waters as to search in vain for an anchor for his soul in the midst of them." Were, then (he asked), the writings of antiquity worse than useless ? He answered, by no means. Not only were they most valuable for the sentiments of piety which they contained, but as corroborative of the Scrip. tures. The Established Church was deeply indebted to the works of antiquity as furnishing corroborative evi dence of the book of Scripture ; but they would be in danger of falling into the worst errors of Popery if they went beyond this in their regard to those works. The Bible, and the Bible alone, was the book upon which the Protestant depended in his faith. It was an argument against the doctrines of transubstantiation and the adoration of the Virgin Mary, that they could find no traces of them for six centuries of the Christian era. Now was' it likely that such important doctrines should have been transmitted from the Apostles while they found no traces of them until five or six centuries after Christ ? In this negative sense it was that the true use of antiquity consisted. The Right Reverend Diocesan then went on to gay that there was another point to which he was anxious to call the attention of the clergy, as resulting from excessive attention to antiquities—a matter of very inferior conse quence as to doctrine, but which had its effects upon the Church. He alluded to the pedantry (if he might so call it) of introducing into Protestant churches stone altars instead Jr the communion table, a substitution for a reading desk, sediha, candlesticks placed --en the communion table, never to be lighted, and texts of Scripture eieblezoned upon the walls, in divers colours, and in Roman text, which never could he read. He objtcted to the revival of these obsolete uses in the Church—not on account of the expense attending them (though this was, under circumstances, to be regarded), but because he regarded them as having a tendency to convey a wrong impression of the. pur poses for which they assembled in church. They did not meet to gaze with awe upon lighted tapers carried by priests ; but they assembled together in Protestant worship, humbly to confess that they hail left undone many things which they ought to have . done, and had done many things which they ought not to have done, to pray to God to forgive their sins committed, and to offer up prayers and thanksgivings at the throne of mercy. These were the spiritual exer cises for which Protestants assembled together in the house of God. His Lordship then begged to offer some remarks in favour of an internal arrangement in churches, which had been made the subject of much vituperation. He alluded to that distribution of the sit tings by which each family in the parish was allowed to make, as it were a family cotigregation in the midst of. ti e general congregation. Such arrangements he observed were unnecessary in Roman Catholic congregations, where the mass of the people assembled, not to pray hut is i gaze ; where the service was performed in an un known language, and the whine was performed by the priests, the congregation taking little part in it. His Lordship expressed himself in favour of family arrangements of the pews, and asked what father" of a family, who had been accustomed to offer up his prayers wtth his wife and children, would willingly resign that privilege for a strict reaard to ancient usages ? He admitted that abuses of this privilege had crept into practice, but such abuses should, immediately on their detection, be corrected by the proper authori ties. His Lordship next alluded to the practice of turning to the east, which he said was now exercised, only during the recitation of the Creed, but even • when the congregation united with the priest in prayer. This was unquestionably a very ancient practice, and his Lordship here quoted authorities, who, in tracing the origin of this custom, had assigned the eastern portion of the universe to the Omnipotent, and the western to the enemy of mankind. On this point it was evident that the fathers differed. and certain it was that no authority could be foetid fur the usage in the Scriptures, which abounded in evidence of the univer sality of the Deity. In the above observations, as also in the expression of his opinion on other points, when called upon (his Lordship continued), he trusted he had sufficiently testified that there was no leaning on hie part towards the errors of Rome, no deviation froth* the principlete of the Reformation. He, therefore, ap proached with more confidence a subject upon which he difihred in opinion from most of those around him. He alluded to his vote upon the grant to the College o f Maynooth. It might be true that a bishop, as a peer of Parliament, was bound to give his vote according to the dictates of his conscience, without being called upon to render au account to his clergy in justification of himself ; but for his part he was most anxious to prove to his brethren that he had not wren his vote in favour of the Maynooth grant without the most mature deliberation and upon pied grounds. No con sideration of expediency would ever induce him to vote for a measure which he could consider per se sinful . His Lordship then proceeded to corniest the argument ad: - duced against this measure—viz., that it was a national sin, and would be injurious to the Established Church. He denied both of these positions, and saiti the was whether they should contribute to teach. Christianity as inculcated by Roipan Catholics, or whether their fellow-cOuntrymen in Ireland should not be educated at all. The education, he considered, must in the end contribute to the extension of the Eetablished Church. .1\ fter some further remarks and arguments in favour of the Meynooth endowument, his Lordshipedis missed the clergy in the usual form. On Sunday last some thousands of people from- Henley, Staffordshire, came to Liverpool by a cheap Lsreepooi Lamer. STATE OF TRADE.—The unfavourable state of the weather had some effect upon our goods market yesterday - , which was quiet. but without change in prices. For yarn the' demand continues exceedingly good, and prices, especially of some counts of water twist, which are relatively scarce, con tinue buoyant.--ROCHDALE FLANNEL Al A Rxrr, Monday, Aug. 4.—We have had a brisk demand for flannels at better prices, and the supply of goods is not equal to the demand. Low-priced wools are becoming very scarce, and the manufac turers are obliged to purchase at higher rates.—Mauchoster Guardian. The Bishop of NORWICH expressed the great satis faction he felt in having it in his power to present the commander and ship's company of the Scout with some token of his respect and regard for men who had 60 gallantly distinguished themselves in attempting to save .he crew of the Hero, when driven on shore oe the exposed beach near Languard Fort. As soon as the details of their praiseworthy and perse vering exertions reached him, he had encouraged a hope that the time would come when he might have an opportunity of seeing these who had set so striking an example of w hat British sailors could and would do when the preservation of human life was at stake, nobly and fearlessly for such a purpose risking their own. But he little thought that such an opportunity as the present would have offered itself—when, on the deck of a British man-of-war, he could in person express his feelings on the subject. He would not stop to speak of his own individual approbation ; for ' stranger as he was to them, that'uiight be of little worth ; but he felt persuaded that in addressing them, and reminding theta of their own devotion and persevering endeavours on that awful night, he was expressing the approbation of every individual present, most of whom, from being resident in the neighbourhood, must have- taken as deep an interest as he did, and were better informed pro bably than himself of all the circumstances of the case. Still more gratifying was it for him to address them, not only in the presence of those to whom he had alluded, but in the presence of a crew serving, like them selves, their Queen and country in their own calling and profession. And here he would. remind them of the advan tage of discipline—that characteristic feature of the army and navy of England, by a strict adherence to which those - services had distinguished themselves aliove all others; and c.nquered armies and navies, led by commanders who boasted that they were invincible. In - - union, it was said, there was strength; but strength withobt discipline would still be inefficient and defective. By discipline the strength of the navy was collected into one tocus or point, as it were; and when under the control .0 a judicious commander, bearing down all opposition, it becameinvincible; and,with reference to this essential ingredient in our land and sea service (he here addressed.- himself to Captain Saxby) he could-have no doubt but that the gallant 'conduct of the crew was rendered still more efficacious by the discipline and good order which he, as commander, had established on board the 'Scout. He nett referred to those times when, during the war, the united ser vice of England could vie with each other ; and who could . forget the numberless' occasions, when, in contending with their country's foes, they had added so much to her glory and renown ! But proud :as. Englishmen had a right to be, and grateful as they ought to be, for those deeds of valour, they could not and ought not to dismiss from their minds that a day of victory must inevitably 'be the day of death to many, and that with their joy and gladness there was an accompaniment of sorrow for those who had perished in the fight. Many were the instances he could mention of the sympathy which manifested itself in various parts of the kingdom, when news arrived of battles fought and victories won, towards the brave men who had fallen. One above all he could mention, which occurred in the city of Edinburgh, illustrating his remark, so creditable as it was to all concerned. No sooner did the intelligence arrive of the vic tory of Trafalgar than a burst of joy and ex ultation resounded far and wide but when it was known that Captain Duff, of the Mars, had perished in the action, and s that his widow resided in the city, the people of their own accord posted a guard at each end of the street in which she lived, and when the rest of the town was one blaze of illumination, and thronged with joyous multitudes, none were allowed to intrude upon the solitude of that street—there and there alone were darkness and silence—a due respect shown to a widow's feelings in the moment of public exultation—a due reverence paid to her hour of mourning and bereave ment. He next begged to call their attention to another point. Bravery and energy, it known to all, were the characteristic features of our sailors and soldiers ; but there was one other principle still more important, and without which a character, however high and dis tinguished for its noble qualities,- was destitute of much of its worth and value. Pointing to the BlazerV ensign, he called their attention to the red cross which was its con,piruous nature ; and remind ing them of what it was the sign and symbol, urged them above all things to bear in mind that while they served an earthly Sovereign, they also served another whose eye was ever upon them, and his spirit ever.around them. He pointed out to them in the strongest terms the importance and necessitY.on all occasions, wherever they might be, of linking together their religious and professional duties in One bond of inseparable union—never to forget that their duties to their Queen and country ought always to go band in hand with their duties to their God ; and to their loyalty, as Englishmen, invariably to add "the faith and works required of them as . Christians ; and ho trusted that thiS latter feeling had its full share on the occasion respectirg which he then ad dressed them.; that, while risking their own lives in endeavouring to rescue those of others they felt that they were, in thus doing to others as they would be done. by, performing at the same time a work pleasing and ac ceptable to Hun who watehed over' them in that hour of peril, whiCh _might, for aught they knew, have been their hour 'of death. He concluded by reminding them of the satisfaction such deeds as this; for which he was now about to request their acceptance of a memorial, mast give themi whenever they lOoked hack to it ; how tar superior the satisfaction this'l_ any derived from sources of vice, and what toe many _thoughtless people called pleasure ; and he had only to hope that from the books he was now about to 'present - to them, they would -de 'rive benefits, not only for the furtherance of their wels fare and respectability in this-W - Orld, but for their eternal happiness in the; world to come, when their earthly course.should have reached its close. ' His Lordship then proceeded to present Prayer- Books and Testaments; commencing _with Captain-Sax by ; and in addressing himself More particular...? to tkree men ivho bad distinguished themselves, l / 4 ,one of whom was an artilleryman in .Languard Fort, he ex pressed the peculiar satisfaction he fAt in reminding.t.is hearers that the soldier bad -rivalled the sailor in this scene of danger and exertion-; and added that such he hoped, as it had ever been, ever would be the case with the two-united services, identified :in one and the same generous and noble spirit, contending in laudable rivalry who should be - first and foremost on every occa sion, whether in the day of battle or in other-scenes like this to which he had alluded, when their courage and energies might. be rendered available for the benefit of their fellow-countrymeu. Capt. 'Washington then, turning to Mr. Saxby, said — After the eloquent and impressi+e address you have just heard from his Lordship, -it would be quite out of place that - I should add another word.. I will only say, then, -that in - the name of Archdeacon Berners, • Slr Philip .Broke, Sli.Attwoil, M.P. for the borough, the Mayor of Harwich, a feW sailors and other friends, I beg to offer you one of Ditilond's best _telescopes, and to your chief mate la: Dollond's silver pocket . corn pass, In testimony. of respect and admiration for your self and the crew of the Scout,-for your huranneexertions in entleavouying to save .the -lives of -the crew of the Hero schooner, wrecked on Lanuuard :beach, in •an eaiterly gale and heavy snow -storm, on the night: of th,• Bth of December, 1844 ; and - inay„ yon hoth - live many years-to make use of them in the profession which you do so touch credit.

REGATTA, AT liAynE - - - This much-talked,ef affair 'eame off on the *29th of July, the last of the three "glorious days" that placed .Louis Philippe on the throne •of France. .It was held under. the patronage of his .Royal Highness the Prince de Jainville, who gave Prize 44 1,500 francs 601.), the -largest. that was contended for at -this regatta, for -a rowing match open to all nations. Some -English • sailors -brought a boat - over . from 'Ports - - mouth- with the intention of entering her, but she was found tt,o long for the regulations. Determined upon making a profitable voyage, they borrowed an old leaky French boat of the landlord of Frascati, and caulking her as well as_ they could upon a kw hours veva , at ion, started against three crack French row beats, manned with the - best mariners of Havre, in a strong north • west wind, and rather a heavy sea. The contest *as witnessed by an immense coecourse of spretators assembled on the beach, where the authorities of the place, the military with tneir bands of • music, and the fashionable visitors at Frascati, added much to the splendour and gaiety of the spectacle. From the first it was evident that the old boat had got a crew of men in her; the pull a-together. the feathering of her oarA, the helmsman's method of meeting the swell, and her constantly gaining upon the other boats, told the spectators the plain story that that- was - the English boat. The best ap pointed French-boat pulled most manfully to keep np wiih her, but in vain. At length, - baffled in the attempt, they permitted their boat to drift too -much in shore, and shipped a breaker that - put them all hors de combat. The English-boat absolutely stopped awhile to - pick them up; but finding•that Old Davy was not likely to get anything out of the Frenchmen that time, they stre , ched out their oars again, aid reached the goal up to their knees - in water. The French admit that the-English sailors did their business in very handsome style, hut are not a little annoyed that Jack should have carried off the-Prince's best prize with one of their own worst boats. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF LiNcoLN. 7 IVe regret to have to announce the demise of 'the Very Rev. George Gordon, D.D., Dean of Lincoln, who expired at the Deanery on Saturday last, in his eighty-fourth year. Edward Forster, aged 46, was charged with cutting and maiming Edward Reynolds, at .Anstey, on June 4. Mr. HILL, Q.C., who opened the case, sail that Rey nolds was a farmer living at Anstey. On the evening in question he went to the Crown public-house at Anstey, and sat drinking there till he was intoxicated. The pri soner came in, when the prosecutor accused him of shoot ing rooks on his mother's farm. The prosecutor laid hold of prisoner with both hands, shaking him, and knocking him against the wall. He then loos4 pri soner, and told him to leave the hou‘•e. Prisoner would not do so, and prosecutor then laid hold of prisoner and shook him again. Prisoner drew a clacp knife fr,in his pocket, opened it, and threatened, if prosecutor did not let him go, to make a bole in him. Prosecutor would not, upon which the prisoner drew the knife 'across his wrist, making a wound about four inches in lenirth and two in depth. FrOm the evidence of the surgvon, he would probably never have the use of his hand as he had had. This statement of the quarrel was corroborated by several witnesses, and that great provocation had been given by the prosecutor there was no doubt. The jury, under the Judge's direction, acquitted him of the capital charge, finding for the common assault only.—Sentence deferred. August 6. (Before. Mr. Justice MAULE.) Rice Findon, aged 30, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing three sovereigns, under the, following cir cumstances : The prisoner, who is a saddler living at Paulton, in the vicinity of Coventry, had gone to the office of a Mr. Orton; in that-city, to pay a bill of 2/. 155., and ss. for a letter. When he got there he found Mrs. Wind less, the wife of the clerk of Mr. Orton, and complained to her of the charge of 55., saying he would only pay 3s. 6d. This she consented to, and wrote a receipt, when the prisoner walked away with the money and re ceipt both, saying, " Her master might come and fetch it." The -prisoner is a person in very good circum stances, and the matter was altogether inexplicable, un less he thought it a means of defeating what he consi dered to be an unjust demand. Ho was found. Guilty, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. In the course yesterday and to-day three road in dictments..(tried at one) were disposed of. The , - ,llj, ct of the prosecution was to fix the parishes of Ansley, 'Over-Whitacre, and the 'township of Bentley, wilt th, repairing .of a road. called a public carriage road. run ning tor three miles and a half through those parishes and townships. The case possessed no features of in terest, - except to the parties immediately concerned. The fury found for the defendants, thus absolving the parishes from any liability. • The Counsel for the prosecution were Mr. Will, Q.O , Mr. Gale, and Mr. Mellor; and for the parishes, Mr. Htimfrey, Nlr. Ilayes, and Mr. Macaulay. WESTERN CIRCUIT --Bridgfwater, Aug. 5. CROWN COURT.—.(Before Mr Ju-Lice E 12LE George Strong, Edward B,yont, and William Hitch cock, were indicted for burglariously breaking int!, the dwelling-house of the Rev. Charles Deedes, at West Camel. • - From the statement of the Counsel to the jury, and from the evidence, it appeared that Mr. Deedes had gone to bed soon.after twelve o'clock on the night of the 10. h of April, after having fastened up the house. About Inc on the morning of the 11th he was alarmed by hearing a noise in his study, which was immediately under hid hed-room, - He listened for some little time, and sail hearing the noise went out ieto the passage, when he s:t w stream of light proceeding from the study door. kvhich was partly Open. he then immediate!y wont el:avi, stairs, and Went into the . roona, on getting into w hi c h h, saw` a candle lighted on the-mantlepiece, and two MPD, out standing at the tablaexarnining something, and the other busily engaged in 'rifling a desk of its contents. He then coiled out to them, saying," Holloa, you fellows. what are you about here ?" upon which they both re treated, one went put of the window, which was open, and the other retreated slowly, putting himself in a fighting position.- Mr. Deedes upon this immediately dosed with the man, and a struggle ensued, during which the wan (who Mr. Deedes stated he believed to be Strong) struck Mr. - Deedes' repeatedly on the arm with some sharp in strument; Mr. Deedes, hoWever, sueceede in pinning him aggirist the hbutter, 'when the other man returned and struck him a blow across'the bridge of his nose with a small iron crowbar, which made him loose his hold, end the two men-then made their escape through the window. Mr. Deedes then proceeded to examine the premises, and found that the entry into the house had been effeeged by the window shutter having been cut through near the hinge, and then forced open. Nothing was taken awry, but one desk ,was broken open, end the articles contained in is strewed about the room. A witness was called of the-name of Eliz'abeth Clarke, who had been originally committed to take her trial as a .p• • t or - in the - burglary, but as it did not app ear mope. that she was actually engaged in it, she was admitted to give evidence on the part of the Crown. She stated that she'had become acquainted with the prisoners at,Brid port Fair on the 7tit of April. and by the invitation of S:rng had joined ,their party, and had gone to Crew• kerne with them. They travelled altogether in a spring cart. On the 9th they went from Cre+vkerne to Yeovil, and remained there until two o'clock on Thursday, the iozh. They then left Yeovil and went to the I iolston Arms, about ten miles • from Yeovil, passing through West Camel on their way. Upon passing -Mr. Deedes's House there, Strong said, " What a pretty .kirk that is," and on the witness asking him what he meant, he sail, Whet odds . is that to you ?" They all stayed at the Colston Arms until eleven o'clock, and then drove away in the direction at Mr. Eteedes's house, until they got within a quarter of a mile of it, when they stopped their cart, and Strong said-he bad left his carpet-bag behind, at the Colston Arias. Hitchaook said, " Have you ? then let's go back after it a" and they went off together in the direction of Mr. Deedes's house. Briant followed in a few minutes, and after they were gone Elizabeth Clarke observed the earpet-bag in the cart. The three men were away about a quarter of an hour, and then all returned together, running, and they all got into the cart, and drove awry as fast as they could to Ilehester. 'Oa the way there, Clarke observed a mark on Strong's , lip, as if from a blow, and heard him say to Hitchcock, "He made three straight blows at me, but I never caught but one, on my lip ;" to which Hitchcock, re plied, " Vou would 'have caught it worse if it had oot, been for we. I hit the kit-Lean across the nose with the jemmy." Witnesses were called who confirmed this witness, and to their all being at the Colston Arms at the time she had stated ; and on being taken to the spot where she had stated the cart to have stopped, she pointed out the direction in which Mr. Deedes's hous was, and on their being taken up at Chard s me time afterwards by Holt, a constable of several bunches of skeleton keys were found upon Bryant, and a " jemmy" which ex actly corresponded with the marks in the shutter where it had been forced. There was also found a round box of Lucifer matches of a peculiar make, and one quite similar was found in the room that had been broken into, Counsel having addressed the jury for Strong, The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with great care, and The jury immediately found all three prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justme EnLE then sentenced th..in all to be trans ported for life. There were no le , s than four other indictments against the prisoners fvr burglary, which were not tried, and, singular to say, they were all for breaking into the houses of clerg) ;nen. POLICE IN TELLIGENC E. CLERK EA 14 ELL. John illqr chant was plaeed at CliiThar, charged by Thos. Cater, an Excise ffieer, of 3, E-sex-placv, Old sireiot, tit. Luke's. with hav:iig hawkel k bout eig-irs for sale without a license. • Cater deposed that boing given to understand that a fair was to commence ou Monday last, and to he con. tinned tor five days; in a field near Chalk or Caledonian road, White Conduit fields, Islington, he proceeded thither in company of Duckwelf, anoti:er officer, to keep Witch, when he saw the prison.-r has king about cigars for s ate. BINGTIAM— suppo:e it is a sort of fair or ? Clit , r—lt was uescribk-d as being c.nduc'ed in a very orderly and respectable way, and the police were cun stantly in attendance. The Clerk—l super se it is free for any body to enter without payment ? Cater—Oh, yes, Sir. Mr. BINGHAM inspected the cigars, and asked Citer if he was sure that the cigars were re a l t , baeco ? Ca 37 ter— Oh, lam sure of that, ~ur worship. Prisoner —Tney are not. real toltee , . If you cxarnine thsin you tied they e.aisist only of a leaf. They are nut toluteco ; we ( - 1 , 41't st-li them as tobacco. Mr. BINGHam-- dben you r aLiiin to say you hate not rehdertd yourself liable to thv Excise laws, but. to a oblige of fraud upon the pubite. Th prisoner made no answer to this Diwkwel corroborated the evidencAif Cater, and the cigars hAvin,' been id. otified as being tobacco, Mr. BINGHAM said he was bound to convict him ; the law said he should pay 251. fine or three months' im prisonment in the House of Correction wtth hard labour; but he might apply to the Commissioners of Excise fur a mitigation of the penalty. The prisoner, who said he had a wife and family, was eventually conveyed to the tionse of Cormetion. Ann Richter, the young woman who was charged on suspicion of the murder of a female infant child, was finally examined, but there not being any further or sufficient evidence against her, she was discharged. QUEEN SQUARE. - . On Friday Anne Santh, a prostitute of the lowest grade, was charged at this Court with inhuman neglect of her infant, in consequence of which Dr. Wright, one 41f the medical officers of St. Margaret, considered it douhtful whether the child would survive. It was shown bv the evidence that the prisoner went to reside at a brothel in the Almonry about two months ago, at which time the infant, who was only a month old, was in a fine healthy state, but owing to the gross and in human neglect of the mother, her frame became in so emaciated and deplorable a condition that a girl of the same abandoned course of life as the prisoner was so horror-stricken at its appearance as to give information to the authorities, who caused the wretcned mother to be apprehended. She had been in the habit of leaving the poor child in her room alone all day long, and the only attention it appeared to have received was from a fellow lodger, who on hearing its pitiable cries occa sionally fed and wrshed it. On the day that the prisoner was apprehendes, she had le - t the child at nine in the morning., and was found at six in the evening playing a game at cards with some soldiers, at a low public-house in the neighbourhood ; and a witness, speaking of the condition of the neglected infant, said it was on that day so weak that it could hardly cry. The prisoner way remanded until Friday, and the child was taken to the workhouse, in order that every atten tion might be paid to it. Mr, Eliott,ihe master of the workhouse, waited upoil Mr. Burred, and - informed him that the child was dead, Mr. BURRELL said that information must, of course, be given to the Coroner, who would hold an inquest on the bo,iy. WORSHIP-STREET. Jos. Thompson and If itliam Canninoton were placed ut the b ,r, tu•tore Mr. Broughton, tor final oxamination. charged, the former with having stolen, and thf. , latter knowingly rec«•ived two valuable sporting dogs, tho pro perty of Mr. William Burnell, a licensed victualler at King'•-cross. In addititm to the evidence already published, Edward tiorn,by, a waiter at a public-house in Cock lane, Shoredach, proved that on th- night ~1' the rob bery the prisoner Thompson en'ered the tap-room with the two dovs now prodnceJ, and was shortly after joined by two other men, who remained in cony. isation with him for s me time, when they all left the Elizabeth Crowther, a lodger in Cunnington's house, deposed that the dogs had been left there by the pri soner Thompson, and that he afterwards called and fed them on several occasions. Police-constable Burchan prored that the prisoner Thompson hail recently sufrvred t elve months' impri sonment l'or uttering bsse coin, but nothing was known to the detriment of the other prisoner. Mr. BROUGHTON said that this was the first ese of the kind that had been brought befbre him ~intw the passing. of the new Act for the more effectual suppres sion of dog stealing, which contained very stringent pro visions for the accomplishment of that object. By one of the clauses any person found guilty of the offence was liable to be committed to the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour for six calendar m ,nths. or, at the discretion of the Magi,trate, to forfeit and pay over and above the value of the dog so stolen any sum of mot.ey not exceeding 201. ; and, by another clause, any person i t whose posses ion, or on whose premises, any stolen dog, or the skin thereof, should be found, with a guilt) knowl •dge that such dog bad been stolen, was Hanle to the same penalties as those specified in the preceding clause. In the present case he did not con cider that evidence adduced against the prisoner Con nington to be sufficiently strong to warrant his c nvic tion, and he should, therefore, order him to be dis charged ; but with regard to the other prisoner, the offence had been conclusively established, and he should ord r him to be committed to the House of Correction for six na-intha, and to be kept to hard labour. MAR I, BO ROUGH-STREET. George and Thomas Smith. brothers, fashionably dressed young men, who on the police charge-sheet were described PS gentlemen," staying at the British and Foreign Hotel, Ueorge-street, Hanover-square, were charged with having been found on the roof of the house of Thomas Charles Smith, Esq., of No. 23, Hanover-square, supposed with an unlawful purpose. It appeared that about twelve o'clock last night, one of Mr. Smith's female servants was alarmed while in bed by hearing some person on the roof attemp ing to open a skylight, open ing into a store-room, from which access to all the other parts of the how.. could be gained The police were on the instant called in, and on constable No. 4R of the C division going on to the roof he discovered the defendants concealed behind a stack of chimneys of the adjoining house. He in consequence took them into custody, on which they said they had merely come there for a lark. This morning the hinge of the sky light was found to have been broken off. - Mr. MA LTBT asked if they were known to any of Mr. Smith's lamily ?—The servant said they were not. Mr. MALTBY—Did they intend to visit any of the servants? —1 bell , ye that no one in the honse knows anything of them. The defendants said that they had got out of the window of their bed-room at the ilritish and Foreign Hotel, and passed over the roofs of the adjoining houses ; their object was to view the display of fireworks at Vauxhall-gardels. The seoreta , ) , and librarian of the British and Foreign In oitute, sleorge-Greet, Hanover-square, said he knew the de fendants were highly respectable. Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said he had ascertained that the aceourit they had given of themselves was correct; he believed they hart no other purpose than a mere lark. Mr. MihTav —Then they will be discharged.—They were accordingly set at liberty. COMMITTAL. of a POST-MISTRESS FOR FM IIEZZLEMENT AT BIRMINI , IIA M. On Tuesday last Miss Louisa Maria Mewis, a female 'most respectably connected. and who has had the superintendence of the receiving office at Edgbaston, was brought before the ma gistrates at the Birmingham Police-office, charged With having embezzled several small sums of money belonging to the Post office authorities. Mr Peacnick, solicitor, of Londe's, arid Mr. Spurrier at. tended for the prosecution ; Mr. Harding for the prisoner. The case excited a great deal of interest, and the office was crowded by a number of respectable persons. The prisoner, who had been in custody the previous day and night, was brought into the room in custody of Richard Bing ley, the officer, arid allowed to sit in front of the bench. She was most easefully dressed, and seemed to treat the charge with compararative indifference. Mr. Edward Bird, chief clerk of theßirmingham Pest office, deposed that in consequence of instructions which he receive-4 he directed a letter to be written and sent through the Edgbaton post-bag to Mr. Groves, Frederick-street, Edg baston. There was a twopenny stamp put od the envelope, but the contents of the letter was matte heaey to render it a surcharge of 4d. more. He, however, did not surcharge it, but sent it with the 2d. stamp upon it. Benjamin Rowe, one of the clerks, was present, and made up the bag, and he (Mr. Bird) saw ii leave the office fur its destination. The sameeven ing he went to the house of Mr. Groves, which is only about a mile from the Post-office, and .obtained from him th e same letter after he bad received it in due course from the postman of Egdbaston. The witness then produced the letter and skid it was not in the same state as when he saw it put into the bag at Birmingham It had now written upon it the words " Abier e One ounce, 4d. extra." In the evening of the same day Miss Mewis sent to the office in Birmingham what was termed an office bill, containing an account of all moneys received that day for letters and surcharges, and that bill he then produced, but it did not contain any return of the surcharge made by Alias Mewis for Mr Groves letter. It ought to have con tained that surcharge because it was the duty of the prisoner to make all such returns. In the hurry of business letters some times went from the office at Birmingham to receiving-houses not surcharged; but, it was the duty of the receiver to attend to the emissiose and hiving received the money to make a proper return of it to him daily. The witi.e.s was here cro-s.examined by Mr. Harding, when he said—ln the office-bill then produced, there was net a column for a return of surcharges. He could not tell why there was not such a printed line. The regulation emanated from the General Post-office. He did riot keow that there existed any impression amongst receivers that such sui charges were considered fees or, ,perquisites. If any such notion existed, it was a very wrong one, for which there was no foundation, but, in fact, no such impression did exist. Mr. Spurrier, with Mr. Peacock, then referred to the Act o f IV., which provides, that if any Pest-office. reer sh embezz!e money belonging to the Crown, he or sh° be subjected to transportation for any term not exeeedirs years. tl tt Mr. Rowe, the clerk referred to by Mr. Bird, state he saw the letter then produced p u t i n to the letter bap ' it; sent by the carrier to Edgbaston, and he was quite P°s , that it was not then surcharged i n the manner in which present appeared. t Joseph Hampton, letter ca r ri er a t th e Edgbaston peg tbe ' f deposed that he received th e l e tt er th en p ro d u ced from soner, to be delivered at Mr. Grove's house, and it was surcharged 4d. in the handwriting of Mi,s Mewis. Mr. 'Wainwright, another clerk in the Birmingham r, office, produced the day bill which had been received frt prisoner, and in that bill ther e was no entr y o f 4d. sureb P ' to Mr. Grove. a In answer to questions by Mr. Ha r di ng , Mr. Bird 551 .. letter and another had been sent intentionally, in orde r ..; l test the prisoner, whom they suspected kad been carni suvh practices for a length of time. Two other similar charges were then preferred afe il)st : prisoner, and she is fully committed to take her trial assi.es to-morrow. • . CORN AVERAGES.
