litrb SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTNAN.) TILE STRAND ROBBERY. (Continued from our Afternoon Editior.) On the return of the jury, Evan Jones was called and examined by Mr. CLARK. S)N—I am a constable of the M division. I know the prisoners Gardner and Cheruneau. Last year they lived together at 29, Martin-street, Blackfriars. I have heard them both speak of each other. The woman called Gardner her " old man." Cross-examined by Mr. PARNELL—They passed as man and wife. She was called Mrs. Gardner. John Saunders, examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I keep the York Hotel, Waterloo-bridge-road. I know the pri soner Gardner. About a month or five weeks before I was examined before the magistrate I saw him in front of the bar of the retail part of the house, and, to the best of my belief, Clinton was with him, but I cannot swear to him. Gardner had a deg wih him, and that attracted my attention to Gardner, who made the dog stand up in the corner on his hind legs. I talked with him about the dog, and have no doubt about Gardner being the man. Cross - examined by Mr. HUDDLESTONE There were not half-e-dozen persons present, but I did not take notice of the number. It was through talking to Gard ner about the dog that I recollected him. I never saw him in my life before. Re-examined—l saw him at Bow-street, and recog nised him at once. Anne Bayley, examired by Mr. BODKIN—I live at No. 23, Temple-street, Blackfriars-road. I know the pri soner Cheruneau, who used to live there. She had a little dog which did performances, such as standing on the hind legs, and tricks of that kind. Cross-examined by Mr. HUDDLESTONE—The police said they would lock me up unless I told the truth. I called the prisoner "Polly. She kept a servant of her own and used to dress smartly. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk at Bow-street, examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I took the examinations of the pri sohers on this charge. The caution prescribed by the statute was addressed to the prisoners by the magistrate at the close of the examination. The prisoner Badcock nevertheless said Clinton said to him when the robbery came off ho would make him a present of something handsome, but he did not know anything about it, or when it was to come off. Susan Cesal—l live at Temple-street, St. George's. The woman Cheruneau lived opposite me. I knew the prisener Gardner by sight, and have seen both of them in Temple street repeatedly. The 29th of September was the last time I saw them. I have seen a little dog at the woman's window, but I have never heard her say anything about it. Cross-examined—l had no acquaintance with the worn tn, nor did I know what name she went by. E! et Andrews—l live at 26, Temple-street, St. George's-road I know Gardner and the woman Che runeau lived together. One morning 1 heard the woman say to Gardner " Look, Jack, the dog is bidding you good bye." She had a dog. Cross examined—l did not know her to speak to. This closed the case for the prosecu• ion. Mr. PARRY submitted that no case had been made out against Shaw. Mr. PALLINTINE took sin Isr objections on behalf of the Bundlers. The Learned JUDGE, after looking through his notes of the evidence, said the evidence against those two prhoners made out nothing, except it was that they were acquaintances of same of the others. Mr. CLARKSON suggested that there was evidence enough t connect them with the others, which was sufficient to justify the ease going to the jury. Mr. BODKIN reminded his Lordship that a sispiciou4 pep :r was found on Mrs. Buncher, while Gardner, with a tail man, was watched to the house of Buncher, who came out with there. The Learned JUDGE was always unwilling to take any question out of the hands d the jury, but it did appear to him that the evidence, though it made out a case of suspicion, fell far short of anything which could warrant a conviction. Without intending to offer any offence to the parties themselves, lie could not avoid remarking that it was to be regretted that the evidence was so slender; bat perhaps the jury would decide now whether they considered it strong enough to make it necessary for the prisoner's counsel to trouble them with an address. The Jury intimated that they were satisfied, and had made up their minds with regard to all the prisoners but Badcock, and be"ore decidieg upon him they wished to hear his Ceun el. Mr. PARRY accordingly addressed them, and contended that although the evidence made out a case of suspicion, it was f. r from suffi: ient to warrant a verdict of guilty , . Up till this moment Uadcock's character had been un impeachable, and though he might have reiterated a boastful conversation his competdoe, Clinton, had in dulged in, no juty, (Wally and dispeslionately con sideting the evid non, could convict him upon the strength of so trivial an incident as that. Why was not Clinton put into the witness box? Clinton could—at least it was to be so as sumed—have implicated all the parties who were Col: cereed in the robbery, but he was not forthcoming in the capacity of a witness, and the only inference that could he deduced from his absence was that the prose cution did not believe what he ha I stated. Pray ing in aid, th-r, h's previous good character, he implored the jury not to cons'gn a young man like Badc'xk to the hcrrers of transportation upon the strength of such insignificant and inconclusive evidence as that which had been produced against him in the course of this investigation. The Learned Junes, in summing up the case, re mineed the jury that there could be no doubt that a very considerable robbery had been committed, and though the evidence made out a case of suspicion, there was no one piece of evidence that at all brought the robbery home to any of the prisoners. He was always reluctant to take eases of this nature out of the hands of the jury, and he therefore preferred simply giving his opinion of the evidence itself, and leaving it for the jury to say whether it conclusively satisfied them that the parties arraigned were guilty of the offence im puted to them. That course he had pursued on the pre sent occasion, and he understood the Jury were satisfied as to all the prisoners but Badcock, and having heard his counsel, they had now to say whether the evidence against him was conclusive of his guilt. For his part he certainly thought it very slender—so slender that, viewed in every conceivable light, it established no more than a case of suspicion. The jury interrupted the Learned Judge, and said there was no necessity to continue the inquiry further, as they had made up their minds that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant a conviction against any of the prisoners. A verdict of Acquittal was accordingly recorded, and the prisoners were liberated. Ciinten was then put forward to receive the judgment of the Court. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, observed that he had looked through the depositions, and he could not help feeling that no reliance ought to be placed on the statements ho had made implicating other parties. There could be no doubt, however, that a most extensive robbery had been committed through hie instrumentality, and the interest of the public re quired that he should be severely punished for it. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was that he be transported for the term of twenty years. The prisoner, who remained unmoved to the last, was then removed from the dock. FRAN CE. Accounts from Brest announce the return into that port, on the 14th, of the frigate La Minerve, bearing the fl ig of Rear-Admirbd Montagnies de la Roque, whence he had sailed 1.; days previously. The frigate experienced a violent hurricane on the 6th, which caused her such damage that it became necessary to use the pumps to keep her afloat.

MoNET M All KET —The premium on gold at Paris is about at par, which, at the English Mint price of 34 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.15; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 24.90, it follows that gold is 1 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice& from Hamburgh the price of gold i s 4231 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17p. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 . 4 it and the ex change at llsmburgh on London at short being 13.3 i, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent. dearer in }lam burgh thrn in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 p er cent., it fol lows. that the excharwe is nominally 0.17 per ce: t. in favour of England, but, after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate does not admit of the transit of gold either to or from the United States.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR TEWICES. BURY. Two PERSONS Ku.Lan.—Shortly before five o'clock on Saturday evening last the pasaenger and horse carriage on the branch line between Ashchurch and Tewkesbury (which consists of a single line of rails) left the Ashchurch station, conveying besides th driver and a boy, Mrs. Rudge, wife of Mr. Rudge. tanner, of Tewkesbury, and her little son ; SAral Price, a married woman, residing at Twyning ; and Thomas Borrow, a carpenter, Tewkesbury. The vehicle was followed at the usual interval by the goods engine hich runs daily between Cheltenham and Tervlrs bury, but owing to the horse in the omnibus falling, the progress of the latter was stayed, and the engine coming up, a collision, attended with fatal r, sults to two of the passengers, took place. There was no tail light to the carriage to direct the attention of the engine driver, and to this omission, it is feared, the fatal catastrophe is attributable—a circumstanc , LI bicb, however, appears altogether to have escaped remark at the coroner's inquisition. The carriage, with three compartments, was dashed to pieces down the embankment, the roof undermost, and Berrow was taken up insensible from off the rails, the en gine having apparently i'passed over him. It was not until three-quarters of 7 ,an hour after the acci dent occurred that it wes ascertained life bad been sacrificed on the spot, and then, in removing the frag ments and parcels, the lifeless body of the poor woman, Sarah Price, was discovered beneath the heavy roof, which had crushed and suffocated her. The assistance of a surgeon was procured with little delay, but it availed not, for she had been k illed instantaneously. Berrow expired during the night. The escape of Mrs. Rudge and her son seems altogether miraculous; they occupied the middle cr best compartment, and Mrs. Price was seated in the back or third- division of the carriage. Neither of the former received any bodily injury. The driver was some distance away at the moment of the colli sion, and, it is to be regretted that be did not ap prise the passsengers of their danger as soon as the engine appeared in sight. Barrow's death taking place in the town, the inquest on his body was held on Monday, at the Town-hall, Tewkesbury; while that of the woman occurring in the county,.a second in vestigation was held the same day at Ashchurch ; and in both instances the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, but at the same time most strongly expressing their conviction that the use of horse power and steam power on the branch line (being only a single line of rail) is dangerous to the public, and cannot be made compatible with the public safety. Loss OF TUE BARQUE EIR ROBERT PEEL..--The newr cf this disaster was brought by the Peninsular mail st - anaer Iberia. In fact, the captain of the bra quo, his mate, and carpenter arrived home in that packet as distressed seamen. Captain M'Ewen stated that he left Liverpool in August last, bound for Bombay, and arrived off the Cape de Verds on the 2d of September. On the 3d, at noon, he was under royals, all sail set, when a hurricane came on, and at midnight he was dismantled, his decks swept of every - thing, and his ship a complete wreck. Ile re mained by the ship, using every exertion to keep her afloat, assisted nobly by his crew for two days, when all being worn out by incessant toil at the pumps, with no hope of saving the vessel, heovith his crew, twenty-nine in number, abandoned her, and they all took refuge in a small foar• oared gig, the only boat they bad left. They took with them a small quantity of water and biscuit, all they could save from the wreck, and after two days, during which they experienced great euflerings, they succeeded in reaching St. Vincent, one of the Verds, a distance of 120 miles from the wreck. The British consul here took charge of them. Tho crew were sent to Sierra Leone in a steamer. The captain, his mate, and carpen ter were sent to Lisbon in a Portuguese brig, which was twenty-three days on her passage, and they arrived there a few days before the Iberia sailed. The Sir Robert Peel had a valuable cargo on board. The hurricane in which the barque was lost was experienced most severely at the Cape de Verds; in fact, such a cne had never tot en known there before. The island of St. Vincent suffered greatly from it. The York Town, American corvette, was totally wrecked also in the hurricane on the Wand of St. Jago, one of the Cape de Verds; two of the crew were drowned. This happened just previous to the loss of the Sir Robert Peel.— Liverpool Me? clay. „ THE UITIZENS' DINNER TO THE MAYOR OF BATH.

At the steward's cidinary, at the White Hart Hotel, Aylesbury, after the aristocratic steeplechases yesterday week, the conversation turning on the feat of bringing a horse up into the dining-room in which the company were then assembled, which was once done by Lord Jocelyn and Mr. Ricardo during the meeting of the Royal Hunt some few years ago, Mr. Charles Symonds, of sporting notoriety at Oxford, offered to bring a grey horse of his up stairs and lead him round the table. No sooner was this said than done, for off he started, fetched the animal from the stable, and very shortly announced his progress by a loud clattering on the old oak stair case. In a few minutes the horse was gazing on the as sembled company. His ewner then led him over a flight of chairs, which he 'jumped beautifully, Nothing then would satisfy the company but tilt he must jump the dining-tables. Mr. Fowler. the proprietor of ithe hotel, fearing lest some serious accident might occur, as the room is of great antiquity, having been built by the Earl of Rochester in the time of Charles 11., made strong objections; but he was overruled, and the horse was led over the tables, every thing standing. The champagne glasses rattled, the plates quivered, the candlesticks shook, but nothing was displaced; back again he went, clearing everything at a bound; whereupon a most ardent sportsman, Mr. Man ning, cf Wendover, volunteered to ride him barebacked over, and, to the astonishment of all present, he accom plished it without bridle or saddle. The celebrated gentle man jock, Captain Barka e, next essayed, and managed to make a smash of one table with its contents. This was only a temporary check, for in the lace of a tremendous fire and the cheering of all present he achieved the fiat gallantly. It was now time to desist and to get the horse down stairs; this was sooner said than done, for the stairs aid pai:ages beirg kelt polished, the gallant grey alined about dreadfully, and was evidently afraid of tha descent. At length, at the suggestion of a worthy baronet, ho cues blinefAded, and thus deseemied into the entrance-hall, but managed to break about a dozen of the carved oak bannisters in his progress. —.-Bucks Chronicle.

C.LLINS V. LORD ALBERT CONYINGRAN. This was an action against the defendant, as managing committeeman of a proposed company, entitled the Dover and Deal Railway and Cinque Ports Coast Junction Company, to recover 1101., which had been paid by the plaintiff, who is M.P. for Warwick, upon shares allotted to hits in the company, of which he had been a provi sional committeeman. Mr. Crowder, Mr. Sergeant B)1( s, and Mr. Ball were counsel for the p!aintiff ; and the Solicitor-General and Mr. T. Jones for the deftndant. The company was projected by two solicitors named Hook and Thompson, end was provisionally registered on the 3d of October, 1845. On the 24th of October it was resolved that the company should be considered as established from the 31 of October. The defendant (now Londesborougb) became a member of the previ siontl committee, and attended their meetings for the first time on the Ist of November. At that meeting the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting of the 2 4th October were read over and confirmed, and the defendant and other gentlemen were appointed a committee of management. At a subsequent meeting the defendant and other gentlemen were appointed a deputation to wait on the directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company; and at another meetii,g, a few days later, it was resolved that shares should be forthwith allotted. On 24th January, 1846, a report of the negotiation with the South-Eastern Railway Company was read, and the secretary was directed to send the following circular to the allotte sf " Dover and Deal Railway, 7, Coleman-street, January 21, 1850. " Sir,—ln forwarding you the accompanying letter of allotment the directors desire to explain that they have delayed issuing any shares until the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament had been complied with, and certain arrangements entered into with the South- Eastern Railway Company had been brought to a con clusion. " The directors have ❑ow the greatest satisfaction in stating that arrangements with the South-Eastern Rail way Company have been concluded, and they are fully justified in asserting that the company will be placed in such a psaition as to ensure its proprietary against loss, &c., in the event of the passing of the Bill. Shares in the South• Eastern Railway will be allotted to the pro prietors in lieu of stock in this company. " The directors, in making this announcement, feel that the affairs of the company, as now settled, aro on such a basis as to secure important advantages to its proprietors, and to warrant the directors in proceeding to Parham( nt with the undertaking, with every expec tation cf success. " In Vie event of the Act not being obtained the direc tors undertake to return the whole of the deposits with out deductions. " By order, " S. P. "loos., Joint Solicitors." G. T. THOMPSON, The defendant attended several other meetings of the committee durirg the progress of the Bill, which passed the Standing Orders Committee, but was thrown out by the House of Commons. The plaintiff had a hundred shares allotted to him, is February, 1816, and paid 210/ upon them, but never executed the Parliamentary con tract; 1004 was returned to him after the project was abandoned. After the plaintiff had commenced his action for the balance, the affairs cf the company were pl2.c:d under the direction of the Court of Chancery, under the Winding-up Act, and the Master placed the plaintiff's name on the list of e3ntributories. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE directed the jury that, in accordance with recently decided cases, the plaintiff was entitle . ] to rrcaver, and, accordingly, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damage-, 110/. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 19. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) RIRCHALL AND ANOTHER V. GENERAL ISTEAM NAVIGA TION COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for an alleged brfach of contract. Mr. Crowder ' Mr. IL Hill, and Mr. Un thank appeared for the plaintiffs, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Knowles for the company. Mr. CROWDER, in stating the case to the jury, said the slaintiffs, Messrs. Birchall, %%re wool merchants at Leeds, and they brought this action to recover 5781. 13s. ld. being the balance of the amount of value of 42 bales of wool which the General Steam Navigation Com pany had agreed to convey to Hull, but which were de. stroyed by fire in consequence of not performing their contract. It appeared that on the 17th of September, 1849, a sale of wool took place at the Hall of Commerce, at which a broker named Buckler purchased 42 bales for the plaintiffs ' for 7221. 12e. Id. The conditions of the sale were, that the goods should be paid for at the end of fourteen days from the time of purchase ; three days' "grace," however, were allowed beyond the fourteen days by the proprietors of the warehouses or docks where the goods were deposited, and if they were not conveyed away by the expiration of that period, all risk, as well as charge for rent, fell upon the buyer. When the wool was purchased it was lying in the warehouse of Messrs. Gooch and Cousens, at 65, London-wall. The fourteen days and the three days' grace expired on the 4th of October, and on that day Buckler went to the offica of the Steam Navigation Company, and made arrangements for the conveyance of the wool. He gave the delivery order to a person in the office, who undertook to dispatch the goods on the following day by one of the company's boats. That promise was, however, not kept. Oa the night of the 6th of October a dreadful fire took place in London-wall, destroying property to the value of more than 170,0001., and among other premises, those of Messrs. Gooch and Cousens. The wool was burnt in the flames, with the exception of a small quantity, which was deducted as salvage from the original cost. The Learned Counsel contended that under these circumstances the defendants ' ought to bear the loss, as the goods would not have been destroyed had they fulfilled their contract to re move them from the warehouse at the time specified. The CHIEF BARON wished to know whether the Learned Counsel could refer to auy authorities, as this appeared to him to be an action of a very novel character. Mr. CROWDER replied that he was not prepared with any particular authoriiie', but he apprehended there was a good ground cf action. The CHIEF BARON said be knew no one imtarce in which a loss of this deecription had been recovered under such a contract. Could it be said if a man was injured another, and prevented attending the death bed of a relative, who, in consequence, cuts him out of his Rill with a :billing, that the individual so. injured could recover the loss he had su%tained ? The fire by which tie property was destroyed wes not r.n ordi nary, natural, or legitimate consequence of the breach of contract, and therefore the decendat ti, in his opinion, could not be held responsible for the loss. Several witnesses 'siere called, who proved the facts detailed above. Sir FREDERICK TIMMER was about to address tEe jury, w'ncri The CHIEF BARON told the jury he was of opinion that, under the contract, the plaintiffs could only recover nominal thmsges, as the loss sustained arose from a purely accidontal circumstance, which no party could reasonahly anticipptc cr foresee. There wss simply a breach of contract in not removing the goods at the specified time, and un.icr tho circumstances he should direct them to find a verdict for the plaintiffs with the nominal damages of The jury accorditagly returned a verdict for the plain tiffs--I),:amges Is. Mr, CROWDER t-t dercd a bill of exceptions to the Les:rned Judge's sums•ing up. His Louosnir r(fus , :d to certify for costs, observing that he would not encourage speculative actions in the superior court:. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NUR7'll%' RN CIRCUIT.—York, Dee. 18. (Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.) James Cr atty, William Higgins, Michael Cantwell, and Fdtcard Hogan, were iedicted for the wilful murder of James Reodes, at Leeds, on the 16th Novo mber. Mr. Hall, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Hardy were for the prosecution. Mr. llearsley defended Cantwell; Mr. Digby Seymour appeared :or Cratty and Higgins. The fourth prisoner was undefended. It appeared that on Saturday evening, the 16th of No vember, there was a disturbance between the Irish and the English living in that quarter of Leeds were the staion of the Leeds and Selby Railway is situated. The deceased was seen to leave the Greyhound Inn with his son, a boy ten years old, and as he was prccreding down Shannon-street, opposite the Horse and Jockey Inn, where a large mob then were in an excited state, three or four men rushed at the deceased, Higgins and Cratty being two of them, when one of them struek him with a brick on the side of the he ad, which caused the injuries from which be died three days after wards. According to the evidence of the little boy, end one of the witnes , es for the prosecution, who raw the blow struck, and who went immediately to the assistance of Rhodes, no other blow was struck but that from the brick; but a young woman named Mary Ann Ward said that she had aeon the prisoner Cantwell strike the deceased with a poker, and saw another man jump upon him while he %%18 on 'the ground. There was considerable discrepancy in the statements of the wit nesses as to the part taken by the several prisoners in the disturbanco; and it was conceded by the prosecution that the pris(,ners had entertained no ill-will towards the deceased, ar.d had attacked him on the supposition that he was ore of the elverse patty. After the trial ha I lasted several hours, it was arranged by counsel, with the approbation of the Judge, that Crafty and Hig gins should plead guilty to a c;targe of manslaughttr; that Cantwell and Mogan should l e acquitted; and that the whole of the ptiyeners, with sk veal ether Irishmen, should plead gulty to another indictment for a riot. George Iluulton was indicted for havinc., on the night of the 201.11 Ott., at Thoregumbald, in the East Ilida3g, fitaiLusly Let fire to a stack of wheat and a I'Al:a of straw, the prov;:ty of Henry Cautley. Mr. Dears!ey was for the prosecution. The prisoner, a gentleLanly looking mar, E.gt d 43, by profession a swoon, coadoc,el his own defence. The evidence against the prisoner was entirely cir cumstantial, and the counsel fir the prosecution sug gested that probably the jury, when tley heard the case, would be obliged to acquit the prisoner on the ground of insanity. Before the fire, the prisoner was seen on a road near the house of the pro2ecutor, acd was heard to say, " I will put the farmers to rights; 3 on— old Burnhans, I'll put you right." It wcs proved that ho must have loitered some hours on the road to Hull about the time of the fire; and when he was appre hended he had some matches in his pocket. The pri soner had gene into a cottage and killkd a cat end three kittens. He placed the cat in a hamper, and put the three dyad kittens in a row, and then walked away. Io crost-examioing one of the witnesses, which he did with remarkable acuteness and composure, he asked, had the witness heard him whittle anything like this (putting his finger in his mouth and making the court ring), or like this (whistling with considerable correctness a. military . tattoo, to the astonishment of a crowded court)? The prisoner then addressed the jury. He taid—" I hope, gentlemen of the jury, that you sill make allow ance for me under the painful circumstances in which "I stand. I hope that your passage through lifo has been smooth. When I see you, my Lord, sitting there, I see your's has been fortunate. As for mine it has been chequered by many misfortunes, so that I might say with the Ghost in Hamlet— ' I cculd a tale untold, Whose lightest word would harrow up the soul, And make your hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful porcupine!' Muds of darkness have hung over me, and if a gleam of sunshine came it soon passed away. My life has been a romance, and perhaps it may some day appear as such. But, gentlemen of the jury (continued the prisoner, bursting into tears), I feel a great difficulty in making an extemporaneous address to you, although I have been a public spesker both on and off the stage; but I appeal to you to give me that fair trial that every Englishman is entitled to." The prisoner then asked for a copy cf the plan, and inviting the attention of the Learned Ju3ge to it, proceeded to trees upon it his perambulations on the night of the fire. He asked, was it extraordinary that be should have been out that night, not at an unreasonable hour, when he belonged to a pro fession in which a man was liable to be celled up by every old woman whose great toe ached? And here the prisoner seid he would take the point that he was not George boalton, as people supposed, and under which name he had been indicted. George Houlton was his helf- brother, and his (the prisoner's) right name was Julien Mario Graviek. Again, it was said that he was excited when he was seen on the road. The truth was, the - . he had just heard a report that his father, who lived at a short distance, was in a dying state. Ile was hur rying to see him, and therefore appeared perhaps agi tated, but he hoped not excited. Tile prisoner then pro ceeded to say that when in Hungary he had become acquainted with the habits of the gipsies, and then began to state with great particularity his proceedings respect ing an old teapot, a German pipe, and some stones, which be said be had disposed of, so as to put the gipsies off the scent. An observation which I made before the magistrate (he continued), has been brought up as evi dence of my guilt. I said that the fire was a glorious sight—and it was a glorious sight. The breaking out of the lurid cloud and the body of flame in the light while a cloud was passing over the moon was a most striking scene , It was grand; I never saw anything equal to it except the burning of a man-of-war in Russia, which was set on fire for the purpose of being painted. Mr. Baron MARTIN here interposed, and after confe rence with Mr. Dearsley, and consultation with Mr. Jus tice Patteson, his Lordship directed an acquittal on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that the prisoner was the author of the fire. The prisoner was then sirrrtiinedoTanother charge of arson, and the jury found that he was not to a fit state of mind to take his trial, and the Learned Judge said that he should be dealt with according to 39 and 40 George c. 94, sec. 2. The prisoner exclaimed, " That imputation upon me is woree than the crime of which I have been acquitted." He was then removed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Joseph Hewett was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having created a disturbance at No. 33, Hell -street, the r es ider.co of the Earl of Stamford, and also with having att em pt e d t o f o r c e open the door of the carriage for the purpose of serving the Countess of Stamford with a subpoena. The Earl of Samford stated that about three o'clock that day, as the carriage was at the door of his resi dence, the defendant and another person came forward and attempted forcibly to open the carriage door. The defendant had a writ or a subpoena in his hand. He in terposed and pushed him back. The carriage drove off, and he walked towards P;ecadilly followed by the defen dant. Meeting with a police-constable near the Bur lington. arcade he gave him into custody. A footman corroborated this stat'meat, and was cer tain that the defendant laid his baud on his Lordship's shoulder. Police-constable Petch, C 136, said. when he took the defendant into custody, the defendant said he had only acted according to his instructions. Mr. 13mottAm asked the defendant what he had to say? Defendant—l had a subpoena to serve on the Countess, and I only endeavoured to serve it when I saw her Ladyship in the carriage. Mr. BiNaffem—Ont of what court was the subposaa? Defendant—l don't know; I was only acting under in structions. Mr. BINGHAM—W ho gave you those instructions? Defendant—Mr. Holt, solicitor, of Chatham-place. Ho will be here directly. Mr. BINGHAM—bid Mr. Holt give you instructions to open the carriage door against the will of parties inside? Defendant—l did not open the door; they were too quick forine. In a short time Mr. Holt entered the court and an nounced himself. Ile said the defendant had been em ploy td by him to serve a subpasna on the Countess of Stamford from the Court of Chancery, to give evidence in a matter to which he would not then further allude. Mr. BINGHAM asked if the Court had given no special directions about the time and place when the subpoena should be served? Mr. Holt said there were no directions beyond that it should be served within a month. Lord Stamford said this was not correct. Mr. Holt said his messenger had acted only with that zeal with which persons in his situation would act when they had a party to serve who was reluctant to be served. Mr. BINGHAM said he did not think Mr. Holt would say that it was a proper way to serve a subroena to lay hold of his Lordship's aheulder, and to endeavour to force open the carriage-door. Bolt had no wish to resort to such proceedings, but her Ladyship had already refused to attend to oce sub' cepa that had been served on her. Mr. BINGHAM asked if throwing the subpoena into the carriage would not have sufficed? Mr. Holt said it would. He very much regretted the matter having been attended with unpleasant circum stances to his Lordship. Lord S:amford was sorry he had not horsewhipped both the men. Mr. BINGHAM considered that the cw.e was one which did not require, under the circumstances, to be d ea lt w i t h very s,ver.i.y. He thought his Lordship would be sada • fled with the explanstion that had te en o ff ere d , and t s h ou ld, therefore, only rupire the defendant to enter into his own recogn - zai.ce, without few, to keep the peace for three metal?. — Aar. bolt a:led Lord Stamford if ho would Recut service on behalf of his lady, and that would end all further annoyance? Lord Stamford replied—Decidedly not. TV ORSII.IP-STREET. John Schroeder, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, who stet( d himself to be a boct manufac turer, in New -street, Stepney, was charged before Mr. Harr mill, under the following disgraceful circumstance s: Pollee. constable Taylor, R 334, stated that for some time F 4: t repeated comilaints having been lodged at the station house rsspceting the disgusting prac tices of a well-dressed man, who was in the habit of waylaYig the wives and daughters of respectable persons residing in the neighbourhood of Bow, end subjecting them to gross acts of outrage, he was directed to use his best efforts for the detection of the delir quent, and while so occupied about one o'clock that day, his attention Was attracted to the prisoner, who was loitering els , at at t he corner cf a lane leading to the Roman-road at Old Ford.
