These form a combination of advantages which can be obtained only from the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company. ALEX. ROBERTSON, Manager. FREE AND SLAVE LABOUR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N. Sin,—Fully coinciding in the sentiments expressed in your leading article of the 26th ult., previous to the debate on Lord John Russell's motion, namely, that " the distinc tion sought to be established by the present Government between free and slave labour is a fiscal innovation, and that, although we have a right to regulate the mode of pro duction in our own colonies, we have neither precept nor pre cedent for dictating to other nations what description of labour they shall employ;" lam prompt e d t o s t a t e some addi tional argument s to those you have adduced, showing the danger and folly of such departure from the usual practice amongst independent and civilised States. If any foreign nation or Government interfered or dictated to us, in regard to the employment of slaves or free men in our colonies, of women and children in our coal-pits, or in regard to the hours for labour in our factories, what should we think, say, or do ? If they prohibited by heavy diffe rential duties the importation of the produce of our mines and of our spinning jennies, we could have no right, rhyme, or reason for complaint, after having ourselves established such principles offoreign policy. After the evidence produced before the Committee of the House of Commons, on Lord Ashley's motion, foreign coun tries, particularly Brazils (where the slaves are treated with the greatest humanity) can, with great truth and justice, say to us—" We will not, wear your cotton manufactures, nor burn your coals, which occasions so much misery and such a sacrifice of human life; we will therefore put a higher rate of duty, amounting to exclu-ion, on your coals and merchan dise, in favour of other countries, where bread and corn being cheaper, no such super. human exertions are required to raise the oae or produce the other." Once the principle established and precedent afforded, there is no calculating to whet extent it might be carried. The United States, for instance, might argue, in order to justify a monopoly in favour of their manufactures, that as their cotton imported into the United Kingdom occasioned all the cruel treatment of the women and children employed in our factories, they would prohibit or prevent (by the im position of heavy duties) the exportation of that article, because they would not be accessories to such treatment; and, they might add, that we could not complain of this fiscal innovation, since, haying such an aversion to slave labour sugar, we ought to have the same objection to slave labour cotton ; they would be thereby consulting our con sciences more than we did ourselves, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Our conscientious Ministry plead the necessity of preserv ing our West India planters from that total ruin to which they have been exposed by the operation of an Act of Par liament, which, against their will, and without their consent, converted their slave into fr , e labour—for which pur pose it is expedient to prohibit slave-labour sugar in order to prevent its entering into competition with that of our colonies (they know well enough that the competition of free-labour sugar will be trifling, if any). This may be all very well so far as our own colonies are concerned, but let us look at the other side of the question, and ask ourselves by what principle of foreign policy, by what precedent of commercial practice, can we prescribe to other countries, that in regard to the article of sugar they shall not use slave labour, whilst we permit and encourage it in respect of cot ton, tobacco, rice, and coffee? Brother Jonathan is already pushing the manufacture of his cotton into cloth to some extent, and when he perceives that we are taking off the duty on its importation into this country, the better to enable our manufacturers to compete with theirs in a foreign market, who can say that he will not avail himself of the example we set him, and by such a fiscal innovation as above alluded to give a death-blow to our manufactories in Lancashire and Lanarkshire. Heaven for bid that the headstrong folly of our governors should lead to such a disastrous result ! Such, however, is the predicament in which we are placed by the attempt to dictate to Brazils and Cuba, foreign coun tries, what labour they shall employ in the cultivation of their soil ; for, of course, if we are authorised by any inter national law, or rights of nations, to prescribe laws to Cuba and Brazils am to what labour they shall employ, we are equally entitled to do so to the United States or any other country—and they to us ! .

Since the burning of St. Olave's Church and Topping's Wharf, about eighteen months ago, no calamity has happened in or around the metropolis attended with such extensive loss of property as th • dreadful fire which overwhelmed the works of Messrs. Enderby and Brother, near Greenwich, on Sunday night last, and which we noticed in yesterday's journal. Throughout yesterday active measures were taken by Mr. Enderby and the firemen to discov er , if p oss ibl e , the origin of the fire, but the further theyientered into the subject, the greater was it absorbed in mystery. It is clearly proved that the flames wers first seen raging in the store-room of the rope-manufactory, which was detached from the main build ing, into which a light has not been known to enter for several weeks. There was a considerable quantity of manu factured goods deposited therein, which were seen perfectly safe a few hours before the outbreak. The supposition is, therefore, that it either arose from spontaneous combustion, or was wilfully caused by some incendiary. In the course of yesterday the ruins were inspected by the surveyor of the district, and those connected with the Imperial and Royal Exchange fire-offices, and from their report we collect the exact damage done to the property. The factory, or waterside premises, containing joiners' workshopS, spin ning, card, and loom rooms, a total destruction. The hemp and spinning rooms, over the engine and boiler house, burned, and the iron roof fallen in. The engine-room beneath considerably damaged. The wearing workshops fronting the factory greatly damaged, the roof having been partly demolished by the falling of the opposite walls ; it con tained twelve weaving looms worked by machinery, all da maged. The dwelling-house of Mr. Enderby, jun., on the north side of the factory, partly damaged by fire ; most part of the furniture and its contents destroyed. The stores at the back, where the fire commenced, with part of the rope manufactory, destroyed; the former building was about 70 feet in length. The rope gallery, adjoining the manufactory, is a quarter of a mile in length ; about 100 feet is gone, and but for the firemen cutting off the communication, the whole would have been levelled to the ground. The hemp that was saved from the adjacent stores (several tons in weight) was scattered over the meadows adjoining. The amount of in surances effected on the property does not, we understand, exceed 6,0001., while the total loss," we are credibly in formed, is between 40,0001. and 50,0001. Unhappily, upwards of 250 workmen are thrown out of employment by this ca lamitous event. Yours truly, Allonby, March 1, 1845. R. W. RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PAR LIAMENT. MONDAY, MARCH 3.

William Draper Best, P.C., D.C.L., first Baron Wynt'ord, died yesterday morning, at his seat, Leesons, Kent. The deceased nobleman was born in 1767, and consequently had attained his seventy-eighth , ear. In 1794 he married the se c o n d d aug h ter of Jerome ICnap, Esq., who has been some years dead, and by whom he had ten children, four of whom only, however, survive him, namely, the Hen, William Samuel, who succeeds to the title, born 1798, and married the youngest daughter of William Hoytt, Esq., of Berkshire; the Hon. Captain Thomas Best, R.N., married to the second daughter of Lord Kenyon ; the Hon. and Rev. Samuel Best, rector of Abbott Anne, Hants., and married the youngest daughter of Sir James Borough, late one of the Judges of the Common Pleas; and the Hon. Grace Anne, married to Phillip Luke Godsal, Esq. The late Peer held for some time a confidential office in the household of George the Fourth when Prince Regent, and was afterwards for many years a distinguished advocate in the Court of Common Pleas as Sergeant Best. In 1819 his Lordship was appointed one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench, and in 1824 was raised to the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Common Pleas, in which he had so long dis tinguished himself as a pleader. In 1829 he was elevated to the Peerage, and then retired from the bench. Lord Wyn ford had for many years suffered severely from rheumatic gout, indeed to the extent of totally paralysing his lower extremities, but so zealous was he in the performance of his Parliamentary duties, that he has frequently rolled in a chair to his seat in the House,:when the privilege was, under these circumstances accorded to him, of speaking without rising. Aberdeen Railway—Committee on Petition, Tuesday, March 18. EXTENSIVR CONFLAGRATION AT PETERBOROUGH. —Yesterday (Monday) information was received of the out break of a most disastrous fire, at Peterborough, which has terminated in the loss of property to the amount of 2,0001. It appears that the fire originated in the candle-house, be longing to Mr. W. Vergette, grocer and tallow chandler. The premises are of considerable extent, and at the time, in dependently of the stock in trade, there was no less than 2,000 lbs. of mould candles, and a vast quantity of dip lights. Notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the firemen who had charge of the parish engines, and Earl Fitzwilliam's from Milton, the flames continued to progress with extraordinary fury until the whole of the candle-house and its contents were destroyed. The. fire then extended to the adjoining houses, occupied severally by Mr. Black, grocer; Mr. Whit well, druggist; Mr. Bray, cabinet-maker; and Mr. Pike, of the Black Boy and Trumpet, the whole of which property was most severely injured by fire, water, and removal. By six o'clock the flames were subdued, but not before several thousand pounds' damage was done to the stock and buildings belonging to, and in the occupation of the several parties, most of whom are said to be insured. Th e fi re was caused by the boiling over of a copper of tallow. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WESTMINSTER:Lad night, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire of an alarming character broke out upon the premises occupied by Mr. Quin, general dealer, carrying on business at No. 88, Great Peter- street, Westminster. Police -constable White, No. 100 of the B division, saw smoke issuing out of the street-door, and he immediately gave the alarm, and after considerable difficulty he succeeded in awaking the inmates, consisting of four families, exclusive of Mr. Quin, who was attending a charitable meeting opposite. Several of the parties were fortunate enough to effect their escape, without experiencing any greater difficulty than having to wade through the smoke. A stone-mason of the name of Cronin, however, who occupied the second floor, being aroused from his slumbers, not being able to descend the staircase on ac count of the fire rushing upwards with such impetuosity, was obliged to resort to the fearful expedient of throwing himself out of window. Fortunately he had the presence of mind to throw a bed out first, and falling upon it, he received little or no injury. Intelligence of the outbreak was promptly forwarded to the engine-stations, and not many minutes elapsed before the brigade engine from the Horse ferry-road arrived, followed by the West of England one from Waterloo-road, with Mr. Connorton. These were quickly set to work from an abundant supply of water fur nished by the Chelsea works, and after considerable trouble, the firemen obtained the mastery over the flames; but they were not completely subdued until the premises in whickthey originated were entirely gutted, and the adjoining house (No. 87) extensively injured by fire and water. The origin of the calamity is unknown, and unfortunately most of the sufferers are uninsured.

It is thought, in practi cal circles, that Sir Robert Peel ought to have made himself fully master of the subject as respects classification long be fore he brought forward the Tariff; as it is, losses will accrue by the want of purchasers at a time when any doubts exist in the public mind as to what may, or may not :lie,the resolves of the Legislature upon questions connected with the Customs or the Excise Duties. The circular of Chaloner and Co. of Liverpool, relative to the Timber trade thus sensibly remarks : " In consequence of Sir Robert Peel's intention to remove the duty on all descriptions of staves, there has been a pause in the demand until it can be seen what direction the market will take. For the present, it is likely that prices will be maintained until supplies can come forward from the United States, from which place we are sure to hive a largely increased and revived trade, as well as from the Baltic, though probably not for this year; but as regards this port, we more particularly expect large supplies from the United States, and at such prices, through absence of duty and reduced freight, as will restore to our coopers the West India trade, which has been nearly lost to thorn. We do not alter our quotations for the present, although holders are more inclined to sell than they were before Sir R. Peel's announcement. " Sir R. Peel having announced his intention of taking the duty off all furniture woods, has thus, to the fullest extent, thrown the trade open for the benefit of the British cabinet maker, who may now be expected to be able to compete with the foreign manufacturer in every market in the world. The Premier's determination on this head cannot be too highly appreciated, and we look for a largely increased trade in every article. The removal of the auction duty, also, and the fetters imposed by the Excise restrictions, is another great boon to this particular branch of trade, which, in this port, is invariably conducted through means of public auction." From the monthly resume of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewes bury, relative to the state of the dry-saltery trade, the fol lowing remarks are not without interest at the presen moment : " It is quite true that agriculture and trade require relief, but all cannot be done at once; yet we have reason to believe that before long, a Select Committee will be appointed to in quire into our fiscal laws, with a view to the revision of them, and that such evidence will be adduced before th a t Com- mittee, of the necessity of improving the system, that by merely simplifying it and preventing frauds, a revenue may be obtained to meet the annual disbursements, comprising the total repeal of the assessed taxes and Excise laws, with out the imposition of a single additional tax, and leave a large surplus towards liquidating the public debt. Should this be adopted, agriculture and trade, so far as the Legis lature is concerned, cannot fail to prosper. " From the manufacturing districts the accounts continue favourable; the same activity in almost every branch is quite equal to what it has been for months, and up to this time both manufacturers and dealers seem to act with caution. " The last accounts from the United States are by no means encouraging for European manufactures, but are very important to capitalists, inasmuch as the payment of the dividends on the Pennsylvanian Debt have been resumed. This we always maintained would be the case, notwithstanding the Shylock wailings of the cosmopolites, and the ravings of those who wish to destroy the good understanding which exists, and the reciprocal advantages of the two nations. " The intermediate overland mail from India, to the Sth January, brings no good news for the manufacturers of this country. Money was said to be abundant, but not to pur chase their commodities. Produce, however, was selling, generally, at rates unprofitable to these who had to ship to this market, notwithstanding the great abundance of all the leading articles." _ _ _ Messrs.

LADY SOPHIA GREY'S OPINION of the PRINTS SHOWING the FALLACY of the ORGANIC THEORY : " To Messrs. MORISON, British College of Health, London. "Gentlemen,--Nothing can be better than the Prints. They must do great good in opening the eyes of the people to the fallacy of the organic theory, which I have suffered from for three parts of my life, and must, in a greater or less degree, as long as I live, from a ruined constitution. I have distributed all the Prints but one, which we keep to be seen in our drawing-room. With my sincere wishes for the continued success of one of the best and safest medicines ever known.—l remain, Gentlemen, your sincerely obliged, " Sandiway, near Northwich, Cheshire, Feb. 18, 1845 " "S. GREY. . - Both Prints may be had at the Hygeist Office, 368, Strand, five doors east of Exeter Hall, price 6d. plain or Is. coloured, 6d. extra upon each if sent by post. These Prints show at once the fallacy of the Organic Thco. y In all its atrocious forms, and will do more to enlighten the public than by years of reading, &o. DEATH OF BARON GURNEY. Sir John Gurney, one of the Barons of the Court of Ex chequer, died on Saturday last, at his residence in Lincoln's Inn-fields. He was born in the year 1768, and therefore at the time of his death was in the 77th year of his age. In the year 1793 he was called to the bar, and in 1797 he mar ried the daughter of Dr. Hawes. In the early portion of his professional career• he devoted himself to Old Bailey prac tice, and soon attained a considerable reputation as a criminal lawyer. He selected the Home Circuit for his provincial practice, and the Court of King's Bench for-the higher por tion of his professional employment. Twenty-three years, however, elapsed, before his professional station procured for him the honour and advantage of a silk gown. It was in the year 1823 that he was called within the bar. From that time forward he only appeared occasionally in proceedings at the Old Bailey ; but his practice in the Court of King's Bench was never of the highest order. In early life he was a member of an Independent congregation at Clapham, of which the Rev. G. Browne, was the minister; but before his elevation to the bench he joined the Church of England. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.--A very interesting selection of music is announced for performance on Wednes day next. It includes Handels " Coronation Anthem," his " Dettingen To Deum ' " and several oth er pi eces , an d Pur cell's " Jubil a t e ," and his cantata, " In guilty night." THE GRAVE-YARD NUISINCE.—S PAFIELDS BURIAL GROUND.—In consequence of the publicity given to the abuses alleged to be committed in Spafields Burial-ground, Sir James Graham, the Poor-law Commissioners, and the parish authorities of Clerkenwell have taken up the matter. On Sunday last, Captai n H ay , S uper i ntendent Massey, and Inspector Penny, with several officers of the G division, to gether with the parish officers of Clerkenwell, and a Com mittee ef the inhabitants who have exerted themselves to expose and put down the nuisance, assembled at the house of Mr. Watt, pawnbroker and silversmith, in Exmouth-street, Spafields, in order to take the depositions of parties in refe rence to the state of the grave-yard and the abuses alleged to have been carried on therein, for the purpose of laying them before Sir James Graham, &c., preparatory to petitions (which have been prepared) being presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons. Several parties were examined ; but their evidence was a reiteration of what has already ap peared in the newspapers, and the petitions were to the same purport. Captain Hay and the whole of the parties at tended yesterday before the Board of Guardians, in elerken well workhouse, when the depositions were laid before the Board, and it is the intention of Mr. Wakeling, the vestry clerk, to indict the parties concerned at the sessions. ; S AY r AND thttittr pinion. " Who runs may read." POP..EIGN. On Saturday evening the King and Queen of the French received Prince Paul of Wertemburg, Marshal Oudinot, the Ministers of Sweden, Saxony, Saxe-Weimar, and the United States, Viscount Baidy, &c. The following appears in the Augsburg Gazette of the 26th nit.:—" If we be well informed, the Sardinian Government will, without delay, send a corps of observation to the Swiss frontier. Austria will also issue orders to the same effect to two or three regiments, and the German Diet will take care to have the Baden frontier occupied by a corps of federal troops. We shall soon know what France has decided; but, meanwhile, I can affirm that she has hitherto made common cause with the other Continental Cabinets." The King of Prussia has presented the King of the French with a magnificent porcelain vase, manufactured at Berlin, which his Prussian Majesty has recently forwarded to Paris. King Louis Philippe made the b earer of the vase a cadeau of 4,000 francs. His Royal Highness Prince George of Prussia, who has been sojourning during the winter at Naples, intended to quit that city fur Rome towards the latter end of last month. Princess Albrecht of Prussia is still at Rome, where her Royal Highness purposes remaining until after the Easter holidays. The extraordinary Diet of Switzerland did not sit on the 26th ultimo. The struggle respecting the Jesuits was to have commenced on the 27th, and it was expected to last several days. In the meantime, the foreign Ministers as sembled at Zurich were holding frequent conferences. &The Dowager Empress of the Brazils (Duchess of Bra ganza) intends leaving Munich at the close of April to pass the summer at Rio Janeiro. Accounts from Barcelona, of the 24th ult., state that the English brig Friendship, Captain Draper, bound for London, from Peniscola, Valencia, has been wrecked at the mouth of the Ebro. The vessel and cargo were entirely lost. The crew managed to gain the shore, after undergoing a severe buffeting from the waves. The Eck du Midi, of the 23d ult., mentions a report that a company of engineers, on its march from Montpellier to Paris, had suffered so severely from the cold, that eight of its men had their ears, their hands, or their feet, so much frost-bitten, that they were obliged to be• left at the hospital of Saint-Chely. MAW AND POZION. At the New Court, Old Bailey, Henry Somers, an uphoi sterer, aged 26, was indicted for stealing a handkerchief value 2s. 6d., from the person of W. S. L ong; a l so a h and . kerchief, vaue 25., from the person of W. Cooper, Esq ; and, thirdly, another handkerchief from the person of W. Gresham, Esq., the Common Councilman. The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges. The Learned Judge hinted that the Court would be glad to hear some account of the prisoner, and wished to know whether he had any friends in Court. The prisoner said he expected that persons would have been here. and the Court postponed its judgment in order that he might produce them. Elizabeth Knowles, aged 21, was convicted of stealing four sovereigns, the property of Mr. J. Fuller, of Walworth, to whom she was a servant. She had been previously con victed, on her own confession, of stealing a quantity of dra pery, value 41., aid thereupon was sentenced to Brixton mill for four calendar months. Mr. Commissioner Bullock adverted to the fact of her having obtained respectable situa tions after her prior conviction. The judgment of the Court was that she be transported for seven years. At Bow-street, Elizabeth Ellen Absalom, a respectably dressed middle-aged woman, bearing a female child in her arms, was charged with insulting and annoying Mr. C. J. Fox Banbury, in the public streets. Mr. Bunbury stated the charge, when Mr. Jennings, his solicitor, said the defen dant was the wife of the man who brought an action against his client, Mr. Bunbury, in the Exchequer Court, a week or two ago. On that occasion Mr. Sergeant Jones, who opened the case for the plaintiff, was induced to throw up his brief, and to concur with Baron Platt in an avowal that a more disgraceful affair had never been brought into Court. Some arrangement took place, and the prisoner was discharged. The Limerick Assizes were opened on Thursday. Mr. Justice Bail said, with respect to the county calendar, the " offences were of the usual description, with the exception of two serious murders connected with Whiteboy outrages," to which he directed the particular attention of the grand jury. The Chief Baron was to open the Home Circuit at Trim, on Monday. There are three lunatics to be tried at Roscommon Assizes for murder. COURT-FASHIONABLE.

The will of Lord Western, Baron Western, of Rivenhall, Essex, but late of Felix Hall, in the same county, who died on the 4th of November, 1844, has just been proved in Doctors' Commons by the executors and trustees. The per soxyd estate is sworn under 35,000/.. The will and first codicil bear the same Clate,iith of April, 1844. A second order hiay been issued to the Customs' authori rities by the Lords of the Treasury, directing them in the most express terms to impress upon the landing officers the necessity which exists of paying the strictest attention to the state of the cattle imported into this country, in conse quence of the violent disorders at present raging in many parts of the continent; and, in the event of their appearing to be infected with any disease, to prevent their being landed until they have the opinion of a competent authority as to their soundness, and the sanction of the Commissioners for their admission into consumption. A distemper, resembling influenza, has made its appearance amongst horses in various parts of the county of Durham, and in some cases has terminated fatally. The subscription for public parks, &c., in Manchester, amounts to 30,0001. Messrs. Dargan and M'Cormick have eight hundred men employed on their contract for the Dublin and Cashel Rail way, and, in a short time, will have eight thousand men at work. Archdeacon Laffan, P.P., in proposing Mr. Fitzgerald, the new Member elected for Tipperary, said, that Dr. Daly, Bishop of Cashel, enjoys an income as great as all the twenty-seven Roman Catholic Prelates in Ireland. A dispensary is about to be erected at Northampton, in commemoration of her Majesty and Prince Albert passing through that city on their late visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, at Burleigh House. The Noble Mar quis, as Lord Lieutenant of the county, has addressed a com munication to the mayor of Northampton, signifying her Majesty's consent at the intended new establishment bearing the name of " the Victoria Dispensary." The Rev. P. Hannam, minister of Camden-town, has re•• linquished the use of the surplice, in deference to the feel ings of his congregation. THE POST-OFFICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—ln your last evening's Edition you " recommend that any surplus revenue from the Post-office should be ap plied to increasing the number of mail steam-ships," thus augmenting the means of communication, it is true; but do you not think a perfect system of circulation, &c., in the kingdom entitled to previous consideration, and that Govern ment should apply a certain portion of that surplus revenue annually to improve provincial offices, by raising the salaries of the persons employed in them, and increasing their num ber ? Every expense being laid out upon the chief offices, and very little upon any of the post-offices in country towns, it follows that we have only two really efficient offices in the kingdom. The system is bad, and until remedied, the Post office service will always be faulty. In many places there is the same number of porous employed to do the work of the penny postage as there was the old. I consider your recommendation a valuable one, and not to be lost sight of; but still I think it is secondary to my sug gestion. TRIAL. March 4. SHIPWRECK AT DC/VIM—DOVER, MARCH 3. It has this day been blowing a strong gale from the S.E., and about eleven, A.M., the Spanish schooner Ignatius, from London for St. Sebastian and Bilbao, with a valuable cargo, came on shore to the westward of the South Pier. Two ves sels, with the assistance of several boats, were employed to get her off the rocks, but without avail. At three F.M. the gale increased, with heavy snow squalls, and as the vessel was fast filling with water, she was abandoned by the crew. and there is little doubt but that she will become a total wreck. The sea is breaking completely over the • vessel, which is almost a new one. The widow of the late Hon. R. Otway Cave found amongst her deceased husband's private records an imper fect memorandum of his desire to convey 20,0001. to Sir De Lacy Evans, as a testimony of personal regard. With an affectionate respect for her late partner, this high-minded lady promptly acted upon the minute, and transmitted the whole of the above sign to the gallant officer.—Linterick Chronicle. - .~~ South Wales 22 ..... 5 1 ,‘N Trent.

Originally there was but 500,0001. capital, and this is paying off half-yearly at par, at the rate of about 20,0001. a year. These Bonds are seldom if ever to be pur chased in the market ; the interest is 6 per cent , and the dividends are paid with a psnctuality not exceeded by the funds. The quotation is 96, but no sellers. The railway throughout the whole island of Cuba is the source from which these dividends arise, cud the traffic during the last three years, it is said, has increased six-fold.

Several cases of petty larceny, totally devoid of public in terest, were disposed of during the morning. MARYLEBONE,(THIS DAY.) THE HAMPSTEAD MURDER. 'The approaches to this Court were beseiged, from an early hour, by an immense crowd of anxious expectants, all wait ing, with a most persevering and commendable patience, to get a glimpse of the prisoner. Inside the Court matters were no better, for, though the personages were of a somewhat more select class, they were not a whit more orderly than those upon the outside, and it required the unremitting exer tions of the ushers to preserve something like order. The night charges had been brought up at half-past eight ( M oe , and the regular business o f th e C our t h av i ng b een disposed of by half-past eleven, a most intense interest, deepening every ;2inute, prevailed among those present. Among the gentlene.'n accommodated on the bench beside Mg. Raiilinson were Mr. I•eng, his brother Magistrate, his Highness the Duke of Bru:Zswick, Lord Montford, Mr. Pepys, Mr. Partridge, &c. Considerable delay took place in eonsequence of the ab sence of several of the inspectors, who were engaged at the Old Bailey Sessions. At quarter past twelve the prisoner was brought into the dock, and the Magistrate informed him that the evidence taken on former occasions would be read over to him, but if in the meantime he wished to say anything he might. The prisoner said he wished for the attendance of the waiter at the Swiss Cottage. Mr. Raweixsox—Do you know his name ? Prisoner—T do not, but he was at the inquest yesterday. Inspector Gray said the person might be sent for, bat his evidence, as it tended neither to criminate nor exculpate, had not been taken. Mr. Raavuxsox-.-Still, if the prisoner wishes it, lot him be sent for. The evidence taken on the former day, and which has al ready appeared in The Sun, was then read over. The evi dence was that given by Edward Hilto, the baker; by Bal dock and Fletcher, the constables; bynr.Perry, the surgeon; by Sarah Kitchener, and by Scotney , 21 F. The l a tter wit ness made a merely verbal correction i n t h at part of his evi dence which related to the language used by the witness to the prisoner on his first cap ttre • mess added the further discoveri es h e had Inspectors Partridge and Shackell were then s worn, an& the latter al made since the last adjonrnment from this Court, all of which were detailed in onr yesterday's paper in the report of the proceedings before the Coroner. Inspector Haynes, who lad not been previously examined at this office, then gave evidence in every particular the same with that taken yesterday by the Coroner. Inspectors Shackell and Haynes then requested permission to leave, as they had to attend the Old Bailey. Mr. RAWLINSON said that under these circumstances he should adjourn the case till next Tuesday, but in the mean time lie should go on with the evidence ofthe witnesses there. If the prisoner had any objection to this coarse, be was at liberty to state it. The prisoner lied not the slightest objection. Inspector Patridge then gave similar evidence to that de tailed yesterday. CLERKENWELL.:-(THIS DAY.) John Flinn was charged with assaulting police-constable G 205. The prisoner was most riotous on the previous night in St. John•street-road and created a large crowd. The policeman interfered with him, whereupon the prisoner knocked off his hat ; the officer asked him what be did that for, and the prisoner immediately struck him a violent blow on the head which knocked him down on the pavement, causing his nose to bleed and breaking his hat. Police constable, 170 G, came up, and the prisoner was secured. The prisoner denied the whole statement, said there was a crowd, and that the complainant had taken the wrong man. Mr. COMM; sentenced him to seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correction, without the power of pleasing him self by the payment of a fine.
