W. —Morning, light breeze and fine sunshiny weather ; Afternoon, cloudy. motest quarters, of the United Kingdoms. Our pro■ vincial fellow-countrymen, indeed, have regarded the matter at once in its just light, and at its proper value, as one of a national, rather than a merely local interest. Therefore it is that they have petitioned in favour of the preservation of the Crystal Palace with as much right, and almost with as much reason, as the citizens of London and Westminster. Looking at the entire transaction from the same point of view, we must acknowledge that it is no less a subject of anxiety to the country at large that the capital of England should rejoice in this public building, than it is that they should experience pleasure, as they unquestionably do, on visiting either the British Museum or the National Gallery. Besides, the country at large is annually taxed for the maintenance of the last-men tioned establishments ; whereas it is merely proposed that the Crystal Palace shall be self-supporting, being founded in the first instance by the surplus funds derived from the Great Industrial Exhibition. Whatever Lord CAMPBELL may say as to the injury inflicted upon household property in the neighbour hood, it is undeniable that no such evil as that com plained of has, up to this present moment, been any where experienced. Another nobleman, residing in th e immediate vicinity of the Crystal Palace, has em phatically asserted as much—we mean Lord LIS` TOWEL. From the facts everywhere accumulated, In short, in ref e re nce t o th e p ro j ec t o f ren dering the structure permanent, it must be confessed that hitherto we have only derived perpetually increasing arguments in favour of that desirable proposition. Hence, late as the time is in the Parliamentary session, we cannot but think that Mr. PAXTON has reason to feel gratified at the proba bility, almost amounting to a certainty, of our being enabled by the Legislature to release the Crystal Palace from the fate hanging over it by reason of the solemn engagement of the Royal Commissioners. We look with no small degree of confidence to Mr. HEYWOOD'S motion of this evening for the dissipation of all further anxiety upon the subject, satisfied that the House of Commons must recognise at once the reasonableness and moderation of his suggestion, and persuaded, if possible, yet more decidedly that her MAJESTY will rejoice at the demand submitted to her faithful sub jects in the Commons House of Parliament. Our close proximity to the prorogation renders it impe ratively necessary that whatever steps are to be taken should be prompt and decisive. It is doubly satisfactory therefore to find this evening fixed upon for his motion by the Hon. Gentleman the Represen tative of North Lancashire. The news brought by the Overland Mail, which has just arrived from India, is, we are happy to say, of the most uninteresting description. Throughout the length and breadth of the British territory every thing is tranquil; all the officials seem enjoying them selves ; thanks to the valour of NAPIER and the de cision of ELLENBOROUGH, Sinde is as quiet and the inhabitants are as satisfied as though such beings as the Ameers had never existed. The firm but just rule of the British is favourably contrasted by the Sindians with the cruel and capri cious tyranny of their former masters, and nowhere has her Britannic MAJESTY more faithful subjects than on the banks of the Indus. The Punjaub is now beginning to feel the advantage of British rule. For the first time since the death of RUNJEET SINGH the Punjaub is, thanks to the victories of GOUGH and the administrative talent of DALHOUSIE, tran quil; for the first time in the history of the Punjaub its inhabitants have experienced the blessings of a government administered according to law, the rule of right has replaced the rule of might, and so entirely have the inhabitants given in their adhesion to the British Government— so tranquil under the rule of law has the whole country become—that the Governor-General has thought it safe to direct the release of 72 political prisoners, who had been sentenced to various periods of imprison ment as rebels. Details such as these are not so ex citing as bulletins from Meanee and Hyder abad, from Sobraon and Goojerat, but they are of infinitely greater importance, inasmuch as they prove that those great battles have not been mere barren victories, but that they have rescued millions of men from the tyranny of profligate Ameers and semi-barbarous Seikhs, and that the men thus rescued, grateful for the blessings of British rule, are now among the firmest supporters of the British Sovereignty over India. Sinde and the Punjaub in their present state bear striking proofs of the wisdom of the policy of annexation, as contrasted with that of protection. Sinde and the Punjaub, which have been annexed, are as tranquil as Yorkshire but if we turn to the terri tories of the protected native Princes, a very different picture presents itself to our view. " The NIZAM'S territories," says the Indian newswriter, " are much as usual," and thereupon he gives the following de scription of the " much as usual" state of the NlsAat and his dominions :—" The NlzAas himself continues besieged, as it were, in his palace by thousands of unpaid soldiers clamouring for their arrears, who debar access to and egress from many of his palace gates ; his own officials are thus obstructed. O ❑ a complaint made to him lately by one who had thus with difficulty reached his pre sence, he remained silent, and could suggest no remedy for this insult ; many of the soldiery, how ever, think it better to pay themselves than to waste their time in dunning their insolvent master. Two hundred of these, on the Ist of June, attacked and plundered the house of SPED ALI, a Fakeer of great sanctity and enormous wealth, being the spiritual adviser of the Maim and half the opulent men and nobles of the city. The town police having attempted to interfere were tied up and severely beaten, and the plunderers got off with their booty, which is stated to have been immense." Surely it is a duty we owe to the inhabitants of this protected territory to save them from the conse quences of the incompetence, or something worse, of this native Prince, and to give them that security for life and property, and that consequent tranquillity which the inhabitants of Sinde and the Punjaub now enjoy under British rule. It may be said that we have guaranteed to the NIZAM that he shall reign, but such guarantee must necessarily be re strained by the proviso that he shall be capable of reigning. We may guarantee to a man that on pay ment of a shilling he shall see the Exhibition, but such guarantee would not bind us to restore sight to a blind man, neither does the guarantee given by the East India Company to the protected Princes bind the Company to uphold them in their abuse of authority, coute qui coute. It is clear that if a protected Prince is manifestly in capable of managing his own territory, it is a duty the Company owes to the subjects of the Prince to take the management of the territory into their own hands ; and after the success of the experiment of an nexation in the cases of Sinde and the Punjaub, we hope the principle will be applied wherever it is ca pable of application. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.—Tho Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, commanded by Capt. C F. Burney, with the mails for Spain, Portugal, and Gib raltar, left this afternoon, having twenty passengers, and specie for Lisbon amounting to 13,850/. The Montrose, with the homeward Peninsular mails, may be looked for on the 4th proximo. AMERICAN FIREARMS IN THE EXHIBITION.—Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the United States' Minister at this Court, having requested that his son, Colonel T. B. Lawrence, may be allowed to take out of the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park three of Mr. Colt's American revolving pistols, to be for. warded to the Cape of Good Hope, for the use of an officer in her Majesty's service, the Lords of the Treasury have given directions to the proper authorities to permit the pis tols to be removed from the Exhibition Building and de livered to Colonel Lawrence, as requested. The Recorder and the Hon. Mrs. Stuart Wortley gave a grand banquet, on Saturday evening, to the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and a circle of civic functionaries, at the mansion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, in Carlton-gardens. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OP LISBURNE.—We re gret to state that this lady died on the 23d instant,at Enfield. The Countess was cousin to the Noble Earl, being daughter of the late Sir Lawrence Palk, JJart. Her Ladyship was born in 1798. ALTAR-PIECE FOR CARDINAL WISEMAN.—Two cases, containing a large picture and frame, the former mea suring nearly 100 feat, have arrived by the steamer Soho, ( from Antwerp, for his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, and in tended for the altar-piece of a Roman Catholic place of wor ship in the metropolitan district. LORD BROUGHAM'S HEALTH.—Lord Brougham has retired to Brougham Hall, on the urgent advice of Sir Benjamin Brodie, who, it is said, has told the Noble and Learned Lord that, to continue his Parliamentary labours, must inevitably prove fatal. The Noble and Learned Lord was himself muck affected in making his last speech, and several Noble Lords were observed to be in tears.— Record., Leasing Business Conspanies. Railways. Paid.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The market closed firmly, and American of all descriptions were id. per lb. higher than Friday last. On 34d. and 4d. Cot tons the advance is id. per lb.—Railway :,:hares were heavy, at rather lower prices. The express with the overland letters has arrived, and her commercial advices are not very favourable. At Calcutta no particular change had occurred in the Pro duce market, nor was there any important alteration in the Money market. The former rates of interest were maintained, and it was considered that it would be desirable if they could ho reduced. The rate far bills on London was higher, viz., 2s. lld to 2s. 14d. No improvement had occurred in the Import market; indeed it was reported to be worse. Piece goods had declined 2to 3 annus per piece, and an active demand was not expected for some months. Glasgow goods were very abundant and cheap. Touching the Indigo crop, the advices are also un satisfactory, but for that, like the cotton reports, we must make allowance, and receive them with due reservation. A remarkably fine manufacturing season would, it is stated, be required to bring the total out-turn to 100,000 maunds. The Bombay Money market was dull, and cash was very abundant. In imports no alteration of importance had occurred, and cotton goods were neglected as usual at that season of the year. The rate of exchange was 2s. Id. to 2s. lid. per rupee. The intelligence from the Continent is not of general interest. In the Amsterdam Stock market, on the 27th inst., there was a very animated business done in Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds at higher prices, but not much in other Spanish Bonds. Portuguese Stock was better. Austrian was rather more offered. The state of the weather has been an object of solici tude with many, but there are gratifying reports from the agricultural districts generally, and the heavy rains of last week have done no injury, although in particular districts the grain has been laid. Fine bright sunshine would place the crops in safety, and materially improve the position of the country. The English Stock Market has been very firm, and the quotations have been rather steady, tending upwards. There is not, however, much business doing. Consols have been 96a for Transfer, and are now 96i !. Time bargains have been effected at about the same rates. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been at 98i- to 99, and the Three per Cents. at 97i to 1. Bank Stock has been supported at 215 to 216 i. Exchequer bills have been rather flat at 475. to 50s. premium. In Foreign Securities the dealings have been limited, but prices for the most part have been steady. Mexican Bonds have been 30i-, and Brazilian 91 to Portu guese Four per Cents. have been marked 341. Spanish Five per Cents. are 211 and the Three per Cents. 38-a The Passives have touched 6i. Russian Bonds have been 101 k, and Dutch Four per Cents. at 93k. Railway Shares are very quiet, and at about yester day's values. ONE PRICES OF BRITISIa FUNDS O'CLOCK.

In the House of Lords last night, On the report of the Select Committee on the Smith field Market Removal Bill being brought up, Earl GRANVILLE moved that the clauses giving com pensation to the Corporation of London, which had been introduced by the Committee, should be expunged, and that the clauses giving the Corporation six months to determine whether or not they would establish a new market should be restored as they stood in the original Bill. The motion was opposed by the Earl of Powis, but on a division was carried by a majority of 59 against 15 The report was then received; several Bills were forwarded a stage and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, in the morning sitting, Sir W. SOMERVILLE announced the abandonment of the Valuation (Ireland) Bill, and of certain portions of the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill. The Commons held their evening sitting in the New House for the first time. Sir B. HALL moved that the electors of Greenwich should be heard by counsel at the bar in support of their petition that their representative, Mr. Alderman SALOMONB, should be allowed to take his seat. The motion, which was opposed by the ATTORNEY - GENERAL, GENERAL, Sir F. THESIGER, Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir J. HANMER, and Lord J. RUSSELL, and supported by Mr. C. ANSTEY, Mr.VILLIERS, Mr. AGLIONBY, and Mr. Alder man SIDNEY, was negatived on a division by 135 to 75. Mr. RAIKES CURRIE (who had presided over the meet ing of the electors of London at which the petition was agreed to praying to be heard in reference to the election of Baron ROTHSCHILD) would not after the decision of the House press the petition, more especially as there wero portions of the petition of which he did not approve. Mr. ANSTEY would, since the Honourable Gentleman refused to do his duty, move that the electors of the city of London be heard by counsel at the bar of du) House according to the prayer of this petition. Mr. AGLIONBY supported the motion. Mr. B. OSBORNE advised the Noble Lord at the head of the Government to bring in a Bill abolishing all reli gious tests, and added that if the House Of Lords con tinued to refuse the admission of Jews to Parliament, people would demand a reform of their Lordships' House. Sir J. TYRELL opposed the motior. Mr. IlosliousE supported the motion, which, on a di vision, was negatived by 77 to 41. The adjourned debate on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S mo tion of Tuesday last, declaring Mr. Alderman SALo- MONS incompetent to sit until he took the oath of abjuration in the form prescribed by law, was then resum ed. Mr. ANSTEY proposed an amendment, declaring the expediency of forthwith making such an alteration in the form of the oath as would enable the Honourable Member, without violating his religious scruples, to take it. After some observations from Mr. HEADLAM and Mr. J. EVANS, The House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ' Against it ... Majority 50 88 -38 Mr. BETHELL iurged the Noble Lord at the head of the Government not to press his resolution; but, as two actions had been brought against Alderman SALOMON!! for penalties, to postpone the discussion until the de cision of a court of law should have been taken as to the ♦alidity of the oath as taken by the Hon. Member for Greenwich. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that though perfectly willing that the opinion of a court of law should be taken upon any question which could properly come before it, he could not see how it could be a case for such a court whether a Member of that House had or had not duly taken the requisite oaths. After come observations from Mr. ANSTEY and Mr J. A. SMITH, The House again divided, when there appeared— For the resolution ... ... 123 Against it .•• ••• ••• 68 Majority ... ... ••• —55 The House then passed to the orders of the day. An admirable, because moderate, suggestion in re ference to the Crystal Palace will this evening be submitted to the House of Commons by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for North Lancashire. From our proximity to the day which will witness the pro rogation of Parliament by the SOVEREIGN, we are peculiarly rejoiced that the question is reduced to the very reasonable limits proposed by Mr. - HEYWOOD, so that the objections of all parties indiscriminately may be waived until such time as the Legislature has leisure to remove all responsibility in the matter from the shoulders of the Royal Commissioners. Unless some such delay is permitted the public may be deprived of an inestimable boon by a servile obedience to a preposterous punctilio. What Mr. HEywoon suggests is this, that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying for the preser vation of the Crystal Palace at the very least until the Mayday of 1852, in order that sufficient time may be afforded to determine whether it may not be se cured with advantage to the metropolis for " purposes of public utility and recreation." By couching this demand in these most unexceptionable terms of mode ration, the advocates for the retention of the building have an infinitely better chance of disarming their opponents, and of insinuating themselves into a position of SUCCESS, such as might otherwise prove altogether unattainable. Besides which the procrastination of a definitive resolve may tend in the most effectual way to reconcile those to the idea who are at present its most violent antagonists. Those, at least, are our opinions, because we regard the question at issue as admitting only of one view after a reason able amount of consideration. Latterly the population have heard the matter dis cussed in all its bearings, not merely by journal ists in the newspapers and by legislators in the Par liament, but also, and in a more elaborate manner, by the advocates pro and con., who have con sidered it worth their while to come forward in the character of pamphleteers. "DENARIUS " has already spoken at length upon the benefits which would inevitably accrue to the public from the em ployment of the Crystal Palace as a winter garden and as an arena for summer amusements. " GREVILLe has since insisted upon what he considers the folly of such a proposition, * maintaining that the Commission should be faithful to its promise of a removal of the edifice by the exact period stipulated. What the nature of that compact is may be readily perceived by a glance at an announcement made this morning to the following effect :—" Yesterday a Parliamentary paper was printed, containing a copy of the Royal war rant to enter on the ground in Hyde-park for the Great Exhibition, and a copy of the deed of covenant from the Commissioners to her MAJESTY, by which they undertake that the said Exhibition ' shall be closed and concluded on or before the Ist of Novem ber, 1851.' According to this agreement, all things are to be removed and carried away at the expense of the Commissioners by the lat of June, 1852, and they public do n o t i n t er f ere ." Now, we distinctly pr oc l a i me d by th e PRIME havew i i l l N l I le sb e Te — Ea Rr be—if the that er a v tt y his interference of the public is the only thing which can lead to the release of the Royal Commissioners from the difficulty of their present situation, authorising them to connire at the pre servation of the Crystal Palace, instead of permitting them to insist upon its removal after the Ist of N o _ vember. Hence it has been, bearing in re membrance this assurance from the lips of Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself, that we have regarded with so much satisfaction the number of petitions recently poured in upon the tables of both Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Those petitions it will, doubtless, have been remarked emanated not exclusively f rom t h e i nhabitants of the metropolis, Icoming rather f rcm a l l parts, sometimes from t h e re- • "An answer to What is to become of the Crystal Palace ?'

DRUItY-LANE THEATRE. The," legitimate drama," as taught by Mr. Anderson, having melted away, the equestrian ring again occupies the stage of Drury-lane Theatre. A troop of American and French ri l iers commenced a series of fetes last night, and judging by the crowds who were present and the ap plause that was bestowed, the undertaking is likely to prove quite as attractive as speculator could wish. A Mr. rerCellum seems to be of the liveliest physique. This worthy turned some somersets on the back of a pair of hones. with surprising activity and certainty. Nothing daunted him, and he went over horizontal veils with a velocity of repetition that made the spectator's eye wink to look at him. The celebrated Madame Caro line gave her illustrations of the haute ecole, and this is always an exhibition of unrivalled grace and beauty. Besides the individuals we have named, there were per formances by Mr. Stone and young Loisset, and some equ,illy clever by a horse called Atar Gull, who went through a round of tricks at command, such as crossing his fore legs, dancing on a table, firing a pistol, and the like. The miscellanea which were interposed by way of relief to the acts of equitation consisted of contortions by one Monsieur Clive, who tied his body into knots with supreme contempt for any physiological opposition, and the " harmonics" of Mr. Arthur Nelson, who, with a buttoned stick, played tunes upon some blocks of pine with marvellous address, producing a sort of chin•chop ping effect, but at the same time a scale of sounds remark ably distinct and correct in intonation. The American clowns wbo officiated in the ring were not humourists of the brightest order. They talked themselves into the worst possible odour, and gave such offence at last by their silly and pointless loquacity as to provoke down right condemnation. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. W. Harrison, the well-known English tenor singer, nude his first appearance last night as the lover in the Sox and Stranger, in lieu of Mr. Donald King. Mr. Harrison was applauded with great heartiness when he entertd, and these flattering demonstrations were re newed from time to time in the course of the evening. His singing has lost none of its former characteristics. This ch►rming operetta seems to increase nightly in favour. The singers aro now thoroughly versed in their duties—it need hardly be said with proportionate ad vantage to the general result. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The performance of Adrienne Lecouvreur, last night, was unexpectedly arrested in the most interesting part of the concluding scene. When, under the influence of the poison, the senses of Adrienne begin to wander, and she imagines herself before the audience, Mademoiselle Rachel tottered, and fell back into the arms of M. Ra phael, who luckily was near enough to interpose his aid and break the fall. The curtain dropped, and after an interval of some minutes M. Raphael came forward, and explained to the audience that Mademoiselle Rachel was taken suddenly ill, and that it was impossible for her to continue the piece. The admirers of the great tragedian will be pleased to know, however, that the attack was merely a nervous one, from which nothing serious is to be anticipated. The immediate cause of the contretemps was sufficiently grotesque. Some persons had contrived to introduce a small dog with them into the theatre, which began to bark just at the absorbing moment when Adrienne receives the casket containing the poisoned bouquet. This unseemly interruption took a peculiar effect upon the nerves of Mademoiselle Rachel, whose performance throughout the evening had betrayed an unusual degree of excitement, and disconcerted her so entirely as to lead to the result we have described. The sadience behaved with the utmost courtesy, and dispersed, after M. Raphael's explanation, without mani festing any expressions of discontent. CREMORNE GARDENS. SIEGE OF GIBRALTAR IN THE BAY OF CHELSEA. Last night a repetition of a new feature, termed naval fetes, was carried out with increased brilliancy and effect. The Iron and Citizen Steam-boat Companies liberally granted their united force to aid in the anniversary of chat great naval achievement, the storming and taking of Gibraltar from th e Sp an i a rds in 1704. The esplanade pier was ingeniously covered to represent the heights of Gibraltar, fortified as they were in the reign of Charles the Fifth—its broad frontageto old Father Thames at full tide allowing ample space and play for the con federate fleet of steamers, commanded by the company's superintendents, Messrs, Bunce and Aitchison, whose skill, precision, and activity well supported these tem porary characters in the impersonation of the gallant admirals, Sir G. Rook and Sir Cloudesly Shovel. Shortly before eleven the fleet to ok their moorings op posite the fort, and almost instantaneously a bugle sounded, which was taken up by the drums and fifes, beating the call to arms. A signal rocket was now fired from the commodore's vessel, which was im mediately responded t o by lights from every other, both small and large; and upon a shell b e i ng rece ived from the fleet the cannonading commenced f rom the fort, accompanied by showers of shells from every part of the esplanade, while the drums, fifes, and bugles were sounding on all sides. In the midst of this appa rent confusion, and under cover of the effective firing of the fleet, the daring feat was attempted b y t h e crew of so me smaller boats to gain a landing by what was re. presented as the South Mole Head, engagementaadlwhich attempt MT proved abortive from the springing of a min e , a capital place. e xplosion, here taking was con tinued with great spirit for some time, the boats firing and retiring with admirable precision . till suddenly an explosion took place, the sailors scaled the fort, the union-jack replaced the Spa n i s h colours, and " God save the Queen" was presented i n p yrotec h n i c li g ht, on the highest ß ule point,Briand "God v the bands o playedsae the t h Queen," e national uee airs of the visitors enthusiastically taking up the airs and the cor responding words. The scene at this moment, and for some time afterwards, was very brilliant. Blue lights and rockets, V ene ti an lamps, and Turkish fires illumined earth, air, and wa t er an d as ' each boat cleared the fort, the banks of old Thames reverberated the cheers of the delighted crowds, who will long remember this new treat among the varied features of Cremorne. JOURNEYMAN TAILORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. —The annual general meeting of this society was held yes terday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of electing three pensioners from a list of 61 candidates. Mr. W. Lee Wright was in the chair. This society has for its object the relief of aged and infirm journeyman tailors and theirwidows, the benefits of which are available to the journeyman tailor period to the funds. 112 pens i oners h ave of every nation , i nca p acitated from labour, and who has sub scribed fo i vnenthe funds of the i ns ti tut i on, and 61 were remaining, pensioner being allo we d 2 0/ . 16 s. a y ear , w s b c e r2 d ra f a o c r e medicine, and medical att en d ance. 14,774/. had bet nhcinovaless: each invested with the commissioners for the reduction of the national debt on behalf of this institution. The secre tary read a short report, which was generally satisfactory. It stated that it was the intention of the committee to obtain a charter of incorporation, but that step was delayed from an unwillingness to trench upon the funded property. It also alluded to the great benefits the institution had con ferred upon so large a number of deserving persons, enabling them to spend the evening of their life in comparative com fort, instead of being confined within the walls of a union workhouse. After a few observations from the chairman, the report was received and adopted. A ballot then took place for three pensioners, and the meeting separated. Mr. flume, M.P., who is slowly recovering from indisposition, is now at Brighton, whither he has gone for the benefit of a change of air. Two Engli,hmen, Messrs. Sheppard and Botton, have received a charter for the construction of a subma rine telegraph between the Danish islands and the Duchy of Schleswig. 78N 1 . 0 % % 14M % % B 4 % 84 )4 8194 b 4 49X I( 2% % 11% 6% 94M 94 % 1123 % 124% 25x 84% 84 27% % 404 414 40% 144 4 % 21 20 2 2 % U3ooi 26% x, 18% 34 'ASS. 12% % 13% 34 Hippogriff Runnymede Cheerful No Chance Constance Julia ...

The prosecutor was stated to ba still suffering so much from the efficts of the determined attempt to murder, that he was unable to attend. The other evidence supplied these facts :—That on Sunday night last, about twelve o'clock, Mr. Day wes coming home through Mercer•street, Long-acre, when two per, , ons, whom he observed following him, suddenly seized him by the throat, one at each side, each of them rasping the lore part of his neck with the right hand. He was unable to cry out or even breathe, and felt nearly choked. They used their disengaged left hands to take his watch and chain, and to empty his pockets. They then knocked him down. The robbery occupied but a few seconds, but when they ran off he was quite insensible. A man who had witnessed the last part of the outrage, passing the corner of the street when the prosecutor was knocked down, ran to his assist ance, and got him up against the wall. The description given by this witness led Sergeant Thompson to suspect the prisoners, and he last night traced them to their lodgings in the Seven-dials. They had just left the Mercers' Arms public-house at the time the outrage was committed. They were positively identified by the witness, and remanded by Mr. Henry. SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY AND TILE LATE EXTEN SIVE ROBBERIES ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. —As soon as Mr. Seeker had taken his seat on the bench this morning, Superintendent Field, of the Detective force, accompanied by Inspector Brennan and Sergeant Manning, of the B division, attended before his Worship to request the instant removal of Sarah Turner Winter, who was brought before him last evening, charged with having been concerned with the recent robberies from the Sou , h-WQstern Railway. Mr. Field informed his Worship that in 'consequence of the robbery of gold dust from the South-Western Railway, himself and other officers have been actively engaged in attempting to trace the property and other perpetrators of the robbery. In the course of his inqui ries he ascertained that an immense quantity of spun silk, several gold watches, silk handkerchiefs, and other property, had been stolen from the Nine Elma station of the railway at Vauxhall, which had been consigned to a firm in London. He succeeded in tracing some of the property to a house in Aldgate, and apprehended a man named Whitcher, who was yesterday examined before Mr. Beadon, at Wandsworth, and remanded. From the description of the property found in possession of Mrs. Winter, he had no doubt she was concerned in the robbery, consequently he wished his Worship to order her removal to Wandsworth Police-court instead of Lambeth. Mr. SECKER said that as the robberies took place in the district of the Wandsworth Police-court he should have no hesitation in sending the prisoner Winter to that place for farther examination. The prisoner was a few minutes afterwards brought into court and delivered over to the custody of Superin tendent Field, who conveyed her to Wandsworth Police court. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CLAYCROSS. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, July 28. (Before Mr. Bar.n PARKE and a Special Jury.) SLAKE V. MIDLAND RLILWAY COMPANY. This wag an action brought by the plaintiff to recover, damages for the de at h o f her h ui b au d, w h o had received the injuries which caused his death on the company's line. Mr. Mellor, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Miller, and Mr. Flood, were for the prosecution; Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., for the company. Mr. FLOOD opened the pleadings. In this case Mrs. Ellen Blake, administratrix to the late Mr. John Blake, was the plaintiff, and the Midland Railway Company were the defendants. The declaration stated that John Blake, in his lifetime, was a passenger on the Midland Railway, from Birmingham to Sheffield, and for want of due care and attention he was killed. The damages were laid at 10,000/. The defendants pleaded that they were not guilty. Mr. MELLOR stated the case. He had the honour, along with his Learned Friends, of appearing as counsel for Mrs. Blake, the plaintiff in this case, who is the widow and administratrix of Mr. John Blake, of Upperthurpe, Villas, near Sheffield, where he carried ou business under the name of " Blake and Parkin," Meadow Works. On the 19th May, the day of the accident, he had been ou a journey of business, and was returning from Birming ham to Derby, and from Darby to Sheffield. lie took a second-class ticket, and got into a carriage which was last but one in the train. They had proceeded a short way beyond Claycross station when the passenger train was run into by a luggage train, by which very serious injuries resulted; Mr. Blake received such injuries that in a very short time afterwards death ensued. Mr. Meynell, a magistrate in the county, also met with his death. The action was brought by Mrs. Blake, who imputed to the Midland Railway Company, both the di rectors, superior officers, and servants, gross negligence in conducting their line in a parsimonious manner. After alluding to the Act under which this action would come, viz., 9th and 10th Vice, c. 93, he said that they charged the directors, superiors, and servants with neglect; this he should not have the slightest difficulty in proving. The train by which Mr. Blake was to start from Decoy was appointed to leave Derby at 9 5 w.X., by the table table. It was 15 minutes, however, behind time on that occasion, and he very much feared that was not an uncommon occurrence. It was not put down in the time table to stop either at Driffield or Wingfield stations, but on the evening in question it, stopped at both, whereby another ten minutes was lost. Thus they would see when it arrived at Claycross tunnel, it had lost twenty-five minutes. It passed the north end of that tunnel at about six minutes to ten. The regula- Liens of the company are to have two men—one placed at either end of the tunnel, which telegraph the coming and going of the trains through this tunnel. Mr. IIUaIFREY intimated that he should be very happy to save the time of ttie Court. 'ibis was merely a ques tion of damages. How the accident occurred had nothing to do with the action, inasmuch as it was only for a pe cuniary considered on. Mr. MELLOR Share ked his friend, but thought it would be essential to his case, and likewise to the minds of the jury, to go fully ineo it. It was very singular that his Learned Friends did not allow judgment to go by default, instead of making this remark at the last moment. His LORDSHIP thought that as they did not want vin dictive damages it would not be necessary to go into the cause of the accident. He thought they could only look at it in a pecuniary point of view. A long discussion here ensued upon the question be tween his LORDSHIP' and Mr. MELLOR, but it WAS Uhl" mately decided that the case should only be gone into in a pecuniary sense. Mr. MELLOR then proceeded with his address. He could not fit 1p thinking that it would have been more honourable and fair to have made this admission before, and not when the shoe commenced to pinch. He should take the liberty of just giving a short narrative of the case. Ile had told. them that Mr. John Blake was in the Sheffield business. Ile was of the age of thirty-four, and his wife was twenty-six, at the time of the lamentable occurrence in question. Mrs. Blake had just been con fined of a still-bora child; and on the night that Mr. Blake was killed he was expected home by a loving and kind wife. But ix) return to the scene of the acct.- dent. The train hied got about 250 yards beyond Clay' cross station when it was found necessary to stop the train, the pump-rod of the engine having given way- The guard, immediately on stopping, ought to have pro ceeded about half a mile down the line with danger signals and explosive lights. This he did not do, and whether there was a sufficient time for him to do it in was a question which had not been solved, some alleg ing one opinion and others a contrary one. Immediately after this a goods train ran into them, killing Mr. Mer nell on the spot and injuring 16 or 17 more or less. Mr. Blake was found dreadfully injured, and about an hour afterwards he was put in a van which was going to take him to Chesterfield, but he died on the way. The lug gage train starts five minutes after the passenger train, a regulation which he thought extremely faulty, because by that they were depending upon mere mechanical skill as a certainty, not for one moment looking at contingells cies which might occur. Notwithstanding the luggage train was detained ten minutes at the junction and five minutes more at Belper, yet from Derby to Claycross it had gained half an hour, and knowing that there was a passenger train before them. It was driven that night by a man who had never driven on that line before, and who had only been driver a week on the Lincoln line, and another week shunting. It appeared rather singular that a man who had never driven on the line before, and who had such little ex. perience, should be set to drive a train at night time- There was another matter which he must allude to; at the Claycross station the company have a man employed only during the day time, and before leaving at night he turns on a white signal, which indicates " all right," and that the line is clear. Now the man goes to bed, consequently he knows nothing of what transpires during the time he is asleep. A train might break down beyond the signals, a n d ano th er f o ll ow i ng , seeing the white light, would of course pr o ce e d. Was this a proper system of organisation? What was the state of things at home during this time? Instead of Mrs. Blake seeing her husband, she receives the startling and appal ling intelligence of his death. She is at this time in a delicate state of health, and as they might naturally suppose, this made her much worse. With regard to the question of damages, that would be a subject for: their consideration, it not being bound by any process Ot law. He was certain they would find it their duty toin demnify Mrs. Blake, and give her sufficient damages fo r the irreparable loss she had sustained. They must look at the position in life she occupied, and whatever was the g social position Mrs. Blake enjoyed prior to the death.°' her husband, it would be their duty to place her in again. In the first place, Mr. Blake had a very handsome house, worth 2,0001., handsomely furnished, which was worth COOL more. This was freehold, but it was mortgaged to the extent of 1,0001. Now, according to estimates , it appeared that a man's life in good health, et the age of 34, was worth 31 years. They must alS° bear in mind, that Mr. Blake, having died intestate, hid property went to his brother tia heir-at-law. Mr. Blake was also entitled to a fourth share in "slack works" st Sheffield, which was adequate to 1001. per annum. li g had also 100 shares in the Sheffield Union Bank, which wore worth 121. each. Mr. Blake had been married be' fore, and he bad got a very handsome fortune with his wife, about 8,0001. He entered 'into pa r t ners hip in the Sheffield trade with a Mr. Parki n i n 1845. Th ey b e gan in a comparatively small way compared with many other, houses, but they turned o ver l ast year between They and 40,000/. were about extendiug their trade in the American thelkete but from this business a ltogether, he received about 25 0 /, per annum. The Lear ned Counsel concluded by making an earnest appeal to the jury, after which several witnesses were called who proved what Mr. Blake's effects were worth. Mr. HCMFREY addressed the jury on behalf of th e defendants, and after entering into many statistic!, proved that the plaintiff would now have 7,000/. clear . 1 0 her own right, putting on one side all the contingencie s to which life was subject. They must bear i n mind that the busi ness i n w hi c h Mr. Blake was engaged was ons that fluctuated considerably; and thee, when they thought of the position Mrs. Blake wa s in previous to her marriage with the deceased, without fortune, tbei would feel themselves justified in returning a verdict Or a very small amount of damages. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, pointed out to the, jury the v a rious e matters s i non io r for them their to considerconsideration,h tat fir' e b ß a l i a d ke i ' t s apropertyquestion was worth in total 13,000/., and 1 1 Mrs. Blake being a Yorkshire widow she would receiv e a b ou t 7,000/. She would, therefore, be a loser in tact of about 6,0001; and it was for them to say what amoun t hour's deliberation, the jury returned into court verdict for the they wiOeviirioWiauteahl i Nnd a S/ C llO7l, the driver of the goods train at the Claycross rusatmicaegmes,AP4,LoEo.o)/h.a Claycross accident, and who was indicted for manslauga' ter, was Acquitted. -- - Mr. Henry Russell, the celebrated vocalist, wa the happy mea ns o f sav i ng severa l li ves f rom the fi re thaw , occurred last Sunday morning at Prescot-street, City, bY, bravely rushing to the top of the hous e th ree ti mes , bringing into the street no less than five persons, who, had it not been for his timely assistance, would certainly have been burnt to death.
