(From the London New Price Current, Dec. 24.) Sucau.—There have been a slight reduction in the value of Colonial, the market having been plentifully supplied, and home dealers operating with reluctance; indeed, supply of East India much exceeded their wants. Foreign is alto less in request, and pre vious rates aro generally suatained. In West India operations have ken trifling is both grocery and refining qualities, and were only 400 hhds and for the three market day;; although a reduction of lid per cwt was submitted to.

LOSS OF SIX LIVES. (From the Cambrian.) Another of those sad events which periodically cc cur here has again happened, casting a gloom around, and depressing the minds of all living within the circumference of the coal fields of Wales. It is true, the victims of the fatal damp have many sym pathisers, but none can sympathise so well as those acquainted with the perilous duties of the collier and the miner. Hard-taxed to supply the wants of their families, kept from the pure air of heaven, and inhaling the noxious vapours, which, combining, destroy them, and this, too, at wretchedly low wages, their lot is surely to be pitied, and a great allowance for those excesses generally ob served in the coal districts. Scarcely has the pub lic mind recovered from the shock caused by the intelligence of the explosion at the Iletty Shenkin Colliery, last year, when another occurs, happily not so destructive of lifq, throwing the inhabitants of the little hamlet into consternation and fear. On Thursday evening intelligence was received at Mer thyr, of an axplosion having oocurred at the New Dyffyn Pit, Aberdare, by which it was rumoured thirty lives were lost, and many wounded. Upon arriving at the place we found the rumoured number of men killed to be greatly exag gerated, at the most there being but six or seven, although the catalogue of wounded was large, and the injuries severe. It appears that about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon a slight tremulous motion of the ground was felt by the people living within the vicinity of the pit, and immediately afterwards a vivid flash of light was seen to issue from the shaft. Well aware of what had taken place the inha bitants thronged to the spot, presenting a scene ima gination could not conceive. Mothers were running, as if distracted, about the shaft—wives, with pale faces and looks of horror, were gazing tremblingly at the mouth of the pit, down which in the morning those " near and dear " to them had descended, in the full enjoyment of health and their small portion of happiness, but from which the eager expectants could now only imagine them borne mutilated specimens of what once existed. Every now and then, as the fancy called up some image of those deemed dead, a wailing cry would issue from the crowd, be echoed again and again, and then die into a heart-moving sob, which truly bespoke the agony of the bereaved. Add to this the gloomy night—the many torches flitting about—the rushing to and fro of the crowd appearing by torchlight ghastly and fearful—toge ther with the faint cry fur succour from the survivors at the bottom of the pit, and you have a scene of such sad reality, that we would not willingly "look upon its like again." Such was the force of the explosion that a boy at the mouth of the pit was thrown down, and sustained a concussion of the brain. Ile sides of the shaft were also blown in, thus choking up the regular means of access to the colliery, Vs illieg hands were soon, however, in readiness to assist the survivors, and means having been found of descending the air -shaft, most of the men were soon rescued. Two men were buried under a fall of rubbish, and were only had out on Monday, life of course quite extinct. Three of the colliers were killed by the explosion, another has since died of his in juries. The majority of the men have, however, sus tained injuries, which with some are expected to terminate fatally ; with others, to incapacitate them from work for a long time ; and with most all to remain as severe wounds, and be remembered for many a year, and eventually carried down to the grave with them. The cause of this melancholy occurrence is not yet know, but doubt less transpire at the inquest, on Thursday next. By some it is attributed to carelessness ; this may be the case, as the colliers are notorious for their wilful disregard of life, ven turing into dangerous headings where the coal has fallen for the sake of better luck, and thus endanger ing their own lives and those of their fellow-workmen for a trivial gain. The New Dyffryn Pit has not, we believe, been worked more than three years, and sand some part of that time the workmen were idle, being engaged in a long, and to them disastrous strike, the result;of which was the refusal of the mas ters to accede to their terms—their dismissal—and their places refilled with colliers from the Forest of Dean, and a few of the turncoats. The rapidity with which explosion follows explosion here, loudly called for Government icquiry; and at last we have the pleasure of knowing that Government inspectors have been appointed to institute a rigorous survey of the coal and mine-pits of the district. This is not before it was wanted, and if they are competent for their undertaking, we may hope to hear less of these disas trous events which render the business of a collier a doubtful and hazardous risk. A STUPID BRADFORD JURYMAN.—A certain gen tleman from Bradford, who wears a broad brim, and who is an advocate of many things which would be a benefit to the town, but unfortunately never agitates for the abolition of the coke, happened to be on the jury at the York Assizes, when the case was heard " Wright v. Petty," for highway robbery. The evidence of the robbery was clear and con clusive ; notwithstanding, this " Friend of the Peace So ciety" declared that he would not be a party to find the man guilty, unless a witness could be produced, in addition to the prosecutor, who saw the robbery committed. Of course the jury could not agree upon their verdict, the con sequence was they had to retire. Mr. Broadbrim buttoned up his coat, saying he had provided himself with plenty of " prog," and unless the eleven would give way to him he would certainly sit until nest day. This friend of the Bradford soke, however, discovered that his colleagues were as well prepared as he was; and consequently, after sitting about two hours, he gave in to the verdict of guilty, and the man was transported for ten years —Halifax Guardian. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT NEAR PERTH.—OH Wed nesday evening two young gentlemen, one of them a son of the late Rev. Mr. Skeete, episcopal clergyman in Perth, and the other a clerk In a writer's officer, went down the river in a boat for the purpose of shooting wild ducks by moonlight. In passing the Dundee and Perth railway bridge the boat struck against one of the projecting iron spikes with which the wooden piers of the bridge are armed for the purpose cf breaking the floating ice that comes down the river, and had a hole stove in its bottom. It is supposed that one of the oars was also lost, and that the parties were then trying to make for the shore when the boat ran against the chain of the dredging machine, which was lying below the harbour, which enlarged the hole, and capsised Mr. Skeete into the water. A boat was immediately put off from the dredging machine, but Mr. Skeete had sunk before it reached him, and his body has not yet been recovered. His companion was taken out of the boat when it was in a sinking condi tion.—Edinburgli Courant. WHOLESALE POACHING.—A marauding gang, con sisting of between fifteen and twenty men, made their ap pearance at Boreatton, in this county, on Friday night, when they assaulted one of the servants and stole several fowls. A number of poachers—probably the same lot as the fore going—entered the grounds of Captain Williams, Eaton Mascott, on Tuesday night. They wounded one of the keepers severely, and shot a valuable dog. One of them, Morris alias Skiver, was apprehended in Roushill, in this town, and has been remanded for further examination.— Shropshire Conservative. DEATII OF THE MAKER OF HIS OWN COFFIN.—An inquest was held on Saturday last at Bampton, on Jeremiah Hewletts, who retired to rest on the previous Thursday night in his usual health, but was found dead in his bed on the following morning. No doubt could be entertained that he died a natural death, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. The deceased was nearly eighty years of age, and was of very eccentric habits. He made his coffin twenty years ago, and kept it under the bed whereon he died.— Berrotes Worcester Journal. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTIONS. -A DMIRALTY, MONDAY.

Sir George is a distiDguished officer, and has served 22 years afloat. A sketch of his career we extract from O'Byrne Biography : " Sir George FA awls Seymour, born in September, 1787, is eldest son of the. late Vice-Admiral George Hugh Seymour, fifth son of Francis, first Marquis of Hertford, K.G., by Anne Horatia, .third daughter of James, second Earl of Waldegrave, whose widow mar ried, a second time, his Royal Highness William Henry Duke of Gloucester, brother of King George 111. He is brother of the late Lieut.-Colonel Hugh Henry Sey mour, is uncle of Commander F. P. B. Seymour, RN.; and is closely connected with the families of the Duke of Grafton, the Marquises of Cholmondeley, Huntley, Bristol, and Londonderry; the Earls of Drogheda, Grandison, and Lincoln; the Viscounts Chetwynd and Torrington, and Lord Southampton. " This officer entered the navy on the 10th of October, 1797, as first-class volunteer, on board the Princess Augusta yacht. Under Captain Paget in the Endymion we find him contributing, on the 18th and 21th June, 16th July, and 14th August, 1803, to the capture of La Colombe and La Bacchante, corvettes of 16 and 18 guns, L'Adour store-ship, and Le General Moreau privateer of, 16 guns. In February and March, 1804, he was nominated in succession acting lieutenant of the Madras, 54, and Donegal, 74; and while in the latter ship, to which he was confirmed by a commission bearing date the 12th October, 1104, ho aided in taking the Spanish frigates Matilda and Am phitrite, the former laden with a cargo of quicksilver worth 200,000/., accompanied Lord Nelson to the West Indies and back, in 1801, in pursuit of the combined squadrons of France and Spain, and participated in the capture of El :Rayo of 100 guns, one of the ships re cently defeated at Trafalgar. On the 6th February, 1806, a few days after he had joined the Northumber land, 74, flag-ship, of Rear-Admiral Hon. Alexander Cochrane, Lieutenant Seymour fought in the action off St. Domingo, on which occasion a grapeshot penetrated his jaw, and carried away several teeth. Having been advanced, the 2ael January preceding, to the rank of commander, he removed as such, on the 9.h February, to the KingLher, sloop, in which vesse', in the ensuing May, he took in tow the Pallas, 32, Captain Lord Coch rane, after that ship had been dimbled in action under the batteries of Ile d'Aix, with the French frigate La Minerve. He was posted, on the *9th July, 1806, into the Aurora, 28, stationed in the Mediterranean, and was subse quently appointed, on the 15th February, 1801, to the Pallas, 32, in which frigate he took part in Lord Coch rane's celebrated attack on the French shipping in Basque Roads. In the Leonidas, which ship he left on the 14th September, 1814, Captain Seymour captured, on the 23d May, 1813, the American privateer Paul Jones, of 16 guns and $5 men, five of whom were wounded during the chase. He was nominated a C.B on the 4th June, 1815, awarded on the 28th May, 1816, a pension of 2501. per annum for his wound, nominated a (accompanied with the honour of knighthood) in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1850. 1831, and a G.C.H. on the 9th December, 1834, and ad vanced to flag rank on the 23d November, 1841. He filled a seat at the Board of Admiralty from September, 1841, until appointed, cn the 14th May, 1844, com mander-in-chief in tho Pacific. He sailed for that station wits his flag in the Coiling wood, 80, and conti nued there until relieved in 1848 by Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby. " Sir George married, in Mara, 1811, Georgina Mary, second daughter of the late Admiral Hon. Sir George Cranfield Berkeley, G.C.8., by whom he has issue three sons and five daughtsrs." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner lioutoYD.) THE DARTFORD SAYINGS BANK, IN RE J. JARDINE. The case of this bankrupt has been repeatedly re ported in our journal. His Honour to-day gave judgment on the question of certificate as follows : This is an application by the bankrupt for his certifi cate. I deferred giving judgment in Order to make inquiry as to the particulars of a case of "Ex parte Wakefield" (not yet reported), decided by his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, on an ap peal from a decision of Mr. Commissioner Balguy. The gentleman who reports the cases in bankruptcy before the Vice-Chancellor informs me that the case of ‘• Ex parte Wakefield" was decided solely upon the construction of the words "conduct as a trader," in the 198th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolida tion Act (12th and 13th Viet., c. 106), and that the Vice-Chancellor held that the misappropriation of trust money by the bankrupt, by using it in his own trad ing speculations,was not such conduct as the Legislature directed to be regarded by the words " conduct as a trader." The 256th section of the Bankrupt Law Con solidation Act was not brought under the considera tion of the Vice-Chancellor in "Ex parte Wakefield." The Court is required by that section of the Act to refuse or suspend the certificate if it shall appear that the bankrupt has committed any of the offences therein enumerated ; one of these offences (the third) is—" If the bankrupt shall have contracted any of his debts by any manner of fraud." The bankrupt (Jardine) is charged with having contracted a large amount of debt by fraud ; he is further charged with misconduct in having carried on trade and recklessly contracted debts after a -series of defalcations and offences which rendered him amenable to the criminal law. The money in respect of which the bankrupt was found to be a defaulter, or a large portion of it, was improperly used by him in his trade; if he had not resorted to those means, he must have stopped much sooner, and the prospect of his ability to repay the money taken by him depended upon his trade. The criminality of the bankrupt's conduct, then, in certain transactions of a pecuniary nature, cannot be denied ; indeed, some debts originating in his mis conduct have been proved, and one to a large amount claimed under the bankruptcy ; but it is urged that such misconduct was not committed by the bank rupt in his trade, or as a trader, and that, upon the authority of the case of "Ex parte Wake field," which I have before mentioned, and a pre vious case of " Ex parte Spicer," reported in the Law Tinges of November 10, 1849, and decided on the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 122, sec. 39, such misconduct is not cognisable by the Court. Thus, I have to consider whether the bankrupt has committed any offence under the 256th section, and, as we have hell that this enactment does not apply to offences committed before the 11th of October, 1849, from which day the Act was to commence and take effect, I must look to the time up to which the malpractices of the bankrupt extended ; but I have also to determine a point of very great and extensive importance— whether the Court, in reviewing the conduct of the bankrupt as a trader under the authority given by the 198th section, is confined to the consideration of con duct in the way of having contracted any particular class of debts. This must be determined by the language of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, taking the whole Act together, and considering it with reference to the previous state of the law, and no interpretation can be admitted which is inconsis - tent with the language candidly understood, nor any which, though consistent with the words used, would not give them a reasonable operation. After quoting various Acts of Parliament and high legal authorities, his Honour proceeded to make the following application of them to the present case :—For the reasons, therefore, which I have given, and, from the general importance of the question, at greater length than I should otherwise have done, lam of opinion that the construction of the 198th section, in conjunction with the 256th sec tion (for, although the latter follows at some distance in the Act, it may be considered as virtually incorpo porated with the power) is this : that the Court is to regard the conduct of the bankrupt as one of a class of persons liable to be so adjudged, before as well as after his bankruptcy, and herein to regard his conduct in any matter concerning which the Court is authorised to call for information and discovery, always bearing in mind that the statute contains provisions expressly limiting the power of inquiry to such matters as re late to the person, trade, dealings, or estate of the bankrupt, or any act of bankruptcy committed by him ; and if it shall appear on the hearing for the certificate that the bankrupt has committed any of the offences mentioned in the 256th section, the Court may refuse or suspend the certificate for such time as it shall think fit. In other cases the Court (in the words of the 198th section) is "to judge of any objec tion against allowing such certificate, and either fini the bankrupt entitled thereto and allow the same, or refuse or suspend the allowance thereof, or annex such conditions thereto as the justice of the case may require." This appears to me to be the fair,'l'sound, legitimate construction of the Bankrupt Law Conso lidation Act with respect to the certificate of con formity. Having disposed of the legal objection, I proceed to deal with the case upon its merits. Jardine, the bankrupt, was a draper; he succeeded to the business of his father, which had been carried on in the town of Dartford for half a century. He was also actuary of the savings bank at Dartford for a period of about 30 years—that is, from the first establishment of the bank in 1816. For the first two or three years he acted as the assistant of his father, who was the founder of the bank, and subsequently, the duties becoming onerous he was appointed to act solely at a fixed salary, and he continued to do so up to the time of his bankruptcy. It may be concluded, then, that the bankrupt previous to the discovery of his delin quency, had long enjoyed the respect and esteem of the inhabitants of Dartford and its vicinity. Moreover, he had at different ti mes been selected to fill o ffi ces of honour and trust in his native town; in fine, he was regarded in every sense of the term, as an honest trader. The sequel will show how far he abandoned all title to the appellation. In the course of his business the bankrupt had pecuniary difficulties to contsnd with arising from a declining trade and re duced capital ; in this state of things, in his position as actuary of the savings bank, being in the habit of receiving money from depositors, he was tempted in the year 1844, under a pressure which he says was temporary, to apply the money of the bank to his own uses. 1 ba7e no doubt that the bankrupt intended and believed that he should be a bl e t o rep l ace th e money, but one trick often needs a great many more to make it good, and the b an k ru pt, un h app il y f or others as well as himself, too readily yielded to this evil suggestion. It is said that h e did repay some o f the moneys which he had appropriated. I fear, how ever, this was done by the aid cf subsequent deposits ; at all events, he goes on misapplying moneys intrusted to him as actuary, and thus fradulently incurs fresh lia bilities. It is urged that he had to struggle against misfortunes—losses by bad debts and stagnation of trade, followed by contagious sickness in his family. It might be hard in such distress to bear up against the storms of fortune, but no change of cir cumstances can absolve a man when he re linquishes truth and faithfulness—" the band that knits together and supports all compacts," and has recourse to a system of fraud, sup ported by artifice and falsehood. The course he pur sued was, when money was brought for investment in the bank, to enter it in the depositors' books, in all instances correctly, but in respect of the moneys which he misapplied, be omitted his next important duty, which was to enter the money so received in the cash-book of the bank, which was kept by himself. The bank ledger was kept by another clerk, and it was the duty of this clerk to post the cash-book, but the bankrupt having withheld entries of various sums from the cash-book, was necessarily the cause of the omission of those amounts in the ledger. The cash book purported to contain entries of all deposits re ceived by the, actuary. It appears, then, that the bankrupt, a trader, who, from his long standing in trade and the public offices he had filled, ought to have been an example to others, as one " having a good conscience—willing to live honestly in all things " instead of avoiding a repetition of practices constantly coming in competition with the first principles of com mercial life, shows a wretched regardlessness of what is due to himself and society, and scruples not to prop his credit by a scheme of treachery systematically sus tained for about 5 years. With this weight upon him, or during the times of its accumulation, his present trade debts were contracted ; and when be uas found to be a defaulter to the savings bank, he made aa assign ment of all his property to the trustees of the bank. This act, which was done to benefit the trustees under an apprehension that they were entitled to be pail in lull by virtue of the statute 2d and 4th Will. IV., c. 14, has in truth been the means of securing for the latter a rateable division of the bankrupt's property. If this assignment could have been carried out the general creditors would have got nothing. Most fortunately, also, for the general creditors, the trustees of the savings bank failed in their attempt to bring their claim against the actuary within the pro vision of the 3d and 4th Will. IV., c. 14, sec. 28, which gives to trustees of savings banks a right to be paid in full (and in preference to other creditors, however meritorious their claims may be) all money which any officer of the bank may have received by virtue of his office or employment. I thought (and the Tice-Chancellor confirmed my judgment) that the actuary was not authorised by the rules of this bank to receive deposits. One of the managers or committee men ought to have attended, for that purpose. It is not pretended, however, that any neglect of the managers of the bank can palliate the violation by the bankrupt of the confidence re posed in him. He was in a situation above suspicion ; how humiliating the position in which he now stands. Indeed there is no vice which does so cover a trader with shame as to be found false and perfidious in pe cuniary matters. Mr. Linklater states that the bank rupt has met with commisseration and sympathy from many quarters. I think it right, therefore, to say a word upon the very serious nature of his offence and misconduct. " The consideration of what is es sential to the security of savings banks is a subject of peculiar delicacy and extraordinary importance —one upon which the mere existence of a doubt is a grave and most serious evil. To promote habits of fruga lity and saving among the labouring population, by providing them with a perfectly secure depository, is the object of all legislation upon savings banks. It is impossible to conceive a more benevolent purpose, or one which more deeply affects the well being of the whole commonwealth ; and if there be a public fund more sacred than another, that to which the greatest sanctity should belong, and which should be beyond the reach of all suspicion, is the fund which the poor have been enabled by an almost heroic forbearance to treasure up against future want The poor save—they seek to have _ _ safe depositories of those savings, and they further hope to be able at any time, if unforeseen want presses upon them, to have power over the money which they have deposited." The observations which I have just cited are too true to admit of doubt or controversy. The writer goes on to ask, " How has Parliament dealt with this fund ?" That is a point upon which it is not my province at the present time to enter; but taking the law as it is, and finding that the bank rupt was debited in his balance-sheet with a sum ex ceeding 2,0001. to one of the institutions to which I have referred, it became my duty to inquire how that amount of debt was contracted, and having so done I must give judgment as on a matter of right or wrong. In awarding punishment (if refusing or suspending the certificate can properly be so called, when the granting of it ought to be deemed a posi tive approbation), the Court should consider the base ness and dangerous tendency of the offence, the deli beration and wilfulness, or the inconsideration, sud denness, or surprise with or under which it was com mitted, and any other circumstances which may aggravate or extenuate the guilt, and in the present case the Court should especially look to the para mount importance of sustaining the confidence of the industrious classes in the officers of savings banks. In conclusion, I would observe, that this is one of the numerous instances which now almost daily occur, exhibiting the want of a public prosecutor. The bankrupt has committed a most grievous public offence, but in respect of that, the public justice of the country has not yet been satisfied. lam to look at the case, however, simply in a commercial point of view, and confining my attention to the conformity of the bankrupt to the law of bankruptcy, and to his conduct as a trader within the meaning of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, I think it would be a monstrous perversion of the spirit and intention of that Act to hold a person entitled to a discharge from civil obligations which he has contracted in the manner and under the circum stances I have pointed out, and whose conduct has been in the last degree reprehensible in having carried on trade not merely on a fictitiouscredit, in the ordi nary sense of that term, but upon a credit upheld by his embezzlement of bank deposits, the small savings of the laborious classes—a species of fraud heartless in the extreme, and most mischievous in its conse quences. I should add, that I think the bankrupt bas committed an offence (No. 3) under the 256th sec tion, in respect of some money received from deposi tors subsequently to the 11th of October, 1849, and which he also appropriated to his own use ; and con sidering the repeated similar acts previously, I deem this offence to have been committed under circum stances of great aggravation. It now, therefore, only remains for me to adjudge that the allowance of the certificate to the bankrupt Jardine must be refused. Mr. LINILLATER, on behalf of the bankrupt, ap plied for copies of the depositions, as it was his client's intention to appeal. His HONOUR said that Mr. Linklater should have every facility to enable him to take the case before a superior tribunal.—Application granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. A well-dressed man, named Edward Amos, a car penter, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged, on his own confession, with having set fire to property belonging to Captain Ross, a gentleman of fortune, residing at Clapham, and thereby doing damage to a large amount. Inspector Coleman, of the V division, and Inspector O'Brien, D, were present during the inquiry, which excited a considerable degree of interest from the peculiar circumstances connected with the case. Young, 140 D, on being sworn, said—On Satur day night last, at eleven o'clock, the prisoner came up to me in the New-road, and asked me if I was the policeman on duty there. I told him that I was, and he then said, " I had better give myself up to you, for if I don't, I am sure to be taken before the morn ing." The prisoner went on to say that some man had sent a letter to Captain Ross's brother, intimating to him where the party could be met with who had done it (alluding, of course, to the fire). I asked him parti cularly what he delivered himself up for, and his answer was, for setting fire to a workshop belonging to Captain Ross, at Clapham, who was there building a terrace. I conveyed him to the station-house, and he then said voluntarily that he went from Paddington to the Cock public-house, Clapham, where he had something to drink. This was on Friday evening. After quitting the Cock he went to the field where the building was, and having pulled off his shoes went to the workshop. He had some Lucifers with him, and he set fire to some shavings and some deals, having done which he stayed about ten minutes, until he saw a " blaze up," from the building, and he then went away, as he didn't consider it safe for him to stop any longer. He told me also that he wished he had burnt a great deal more, and that he intended to have gone down the next night to set fire to the whole of the buildings. On the way to this court yesterday morning he said " I know nothing about setting fire to the place. I wee there about the time the fire happened, but I had nothing to do with it. Captain R 033 and I have been upon very good terms, and he was always an excel lent master. I only said what I did last night to get something to eat and to obtain a lodging, as I had no money:' _ _ The prisoner had, it appeared, being employed as a carpenter in the erection of a terrace now being built for Captain Ross, and that about three weeks ago he was discharged, improperly as he imagined, by Woods, the foreman of th e works. - A letter of which the f o ll ow i ng i s a co p y , was here handed to the magistrate ; it was addressed to " Mr. Christopher Ross, Clapham" (brother of Cap tain Ross). It ran thus : " have sent these few lines to you to state about the ';man that set fire to your place, and he is coming on Saturday night to set fire to the whole of your new buildings. He has bought two new pistols and some powder, to shoot your brother and you, likewise John Woods. This man's name is Wm. Amos; he has worked for you, and is now living with Mr. Wood's daughter, at 27, Stafford-street. I heard Mr. Wood's daughter and Mr. Amos talking together about the best way to set fire to all the buildings, and shoot the three, and then go to America. They will both be at the Norreys, Stafford-street, at eight o'clock. if not they will be at Al ley's beer-shop, close by. You shall know my naol►e when you have taken him." The prisoner, when asked what he had to say, re pudiated a great deal of the evidence given against him, and said that he wrote the letter himself; be had nothing to do, and being hungry, he acted as he had done in order to obtain food and a lodging. Inspector O'Brien said that the damage done to the building was estimated at somewhere about SOOl. Inspector Coleman (V), who produced the letter above given, expressed his opinion that on a future day he should be prepared with proof positive that the pri soner was seen close to the spot a short time prior to the alarm of fire being given. The prisoner was sent to the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, there to remain until next Friday, upon which day he will be conveyed to Wandsworth Police caurt, that being the district in which,the alleged in cendiarism occurred. THAMES. A great number of poor individuals came before Mr. Yardley, the presiding magistrate, to complain that the treasurer or manager of the St. shmes's Rat cliff Provident Society, an off-shoot of an excellent institution, called the Whitechapel Penny Savings Bank, had neglected to pay them various sums the produce of their savings, and for which they had ap plied on Saturday, when they were informed that the manager was not to be found. The case was one of peculiar hardship, but was not very clearly explained by the parties in attendance. It appeared that during the past year a great number of poor men, women , and children, have deposited their little savings from tiiae to time in the Ratcliff Penny Bank, in the ex pectation of receiving back the whole with interest, in one sum, near the end of the year, previous to Christmas. A great many of the depositors received back their savings on Friday, when the manager suddenly left off paying and told the rest of the depo sitors to come next day for their savings from two o'clock till five in the afternoon. The manager did not attend, and under these circumstances the appli cants besought the magistrate to interfere. Mr. YARDLEY asked if the society was enrolled ? Ellis, the chief usher of the co ur t, sa id t h e soc i ety was not enrolled ; it was in the nature of a penny savings bank, and was originally a clothing society ~, ... tai -a ~ i 9 p, _q 0 C=l 1:4 .

The depositors were very poor, hard working people, and if the money was not returmd to the ap licants there would be a great deal of suffering. Mr. YARDLEY hoped the poor people would be paid the whole of their savings. He directed Wit tleton, 152 K, one of the summoning officers attached to the court, to make inquiries. Some time afterwards, Mr. Harris, clerk of St. James's, Ratcliff, came to the court to snake some ex planation, Ile was accompanied by a host of persons, who were very indignant, and said they had been tricked of their money. Mr. Yardley has ing retired from the bench, and his place having been taken by Mr. Ingham, the parish-clerk could not give the ex planation he wished, and he was, moreover, informed that the magistrates had no jurisdiction in the matter at all, and that the officer was merely directed to make inquirieS to relieve the minds of the depositors, and to obtain the interposition of the trustees, if any, but none had been found. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TRH LATE DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED STRANGULATION IN NORTON-STREET.— William Thomp son, alias the " Black Diamond," was brought before Mr. Bingham for having been concerned with two other men not in custody, in committing a most daring robbery, accompanied with violence, on the person of Mr. Adol phus Dubois, dentist, Princes-street, Leicester-square. The particu!ars of the former examination appeared in this journal on Thursday last. The prisoner was now defended by Mr. Cross, solicitor, of Surrey-street, Strand. The evidence adduced on the former examination having been read over by Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, the prisoner's solicitor proceeded to examine the prose cutor as to his identity of the prisoner, but elicited nothing whatever to shake the evidence he onted on the previous occasion, he (the prosecutor) being confident the prisoner was the man who gagged and robbed him. Several gentlemen who had been robbed by similar means were in court, but could not distinctly sw fie that the prisoner was the person who had committed the offence,. The prisoner, who persisted in his innocence, was fully committed for trial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT SENTENCES.
