LAW INTELLiGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, May 3. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in his private room this day, with the Master of the Rolls and Chief Justice Tindal, and proceeded with the long-pending argument respecting the crown jewels. Sir C. Wetherell and Mr. F. Kelly (who spoke for four days) have been heard on the part of the King of Hanover, and the solicitor-General for the Queen. Sir T. WILDE commenced his argument on the same side this morning, and had not concluded when their Lordships rose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 3. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. GREGORY. The defendant in this case had been indicted for hav ing published certain libels against his Highness the Duke of Brunswick, and upon that indictment the de fendant was convicted ; but a motion was subsequently made to the Court to arrest the judgment, on two grounds—first, that it was not shown that before the in dictment was preferred any recognizances to prosecute had been entered into ; and, secondly, that from the re cord it appeared that the recognizances had been entered into at a time subsequently to that when the indictment was preferred. The indictment was dated before the recognizances, but they were, in fact, taken before the indictment was preferred. The COURT took time to consider the question. This morning Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court. He stated that the question was, whether the judgment against the defendant ought not to be arrested, in consequence of the indictment not having stated that the prosecutor had entered into recognizances to prosecute the defendant before the grand jury had found the bill. Their Lordships considered it to be un necessary that the caption should state that recognizances had been entered into ; that allegation, therefore, not appearing, was not a sufficient ground why the judgment should be arrested ; but supposing the omission of that allegation to be an error, it was upon the face of the record, of which, of course, the usual and customary advantage might be taken. Ile then came to the other objection, which was this, that if no recognizances had been entered into before the time when the indictment was found by the grand jury, the Court ought to quash the indictment. The Court had considered this question to be one of a difficult nature, and had therefore taken time for consideration. The Central Criminal Court Act had given large powers to the grand jury, and it was a provision that no Bill should be presented to the grand jury unless the party who prosecuted should previously have entered into re eognizances to prosecute at the sessions, thereby intend ing that the recognizances should be entered into at some previous sessions. An application had been made in one instance to the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas to permit parties to be examined and enter into recogni zances at the same sessions, before the indictment was preferred, and this had been done in order that the re quisitions of the statute might be complied with; but Lord Chief Justice Tindal would not allow it, and he (Lord Denman) and the rest of the judges, considered that the Lord Chief Justice hail done right, but did not consider that he intended to give any opinion upon the construction of the statute, or that the decision amounted to a declaration that the omission of such a preliminary proceeding on a bill found by the grand jury, and which was correct in all other respects, would for that reason only be a void indictment. That case, therefore, would not bind the Court, and this rule must be discharged. WILLIAMS v. THE QUEEN. Mr. C. EDWARDS made an application for a rule to show cause why the judgment given in this case for the Crown should not be arrested. The now plaintiff in error had been tried and convicted upon an indictment charging him with having stolen a horse, a saddle, and bridle, and he was therefore sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. He submitted that neither the indict. ment nor the conviction would support the sentence. It was not alleged by the indictment that the prisoner hail committed an offence " against the form of the statute." Looking, therefore, at the indictment, no one one could say that the offence was other than one at common law; there might, therefore, be a conviction for sterling any pile of the three article , , which might amouet only to a I.teeny, and then the prisoner would not be subject to so lard A punishment. Lord EN) L stated the opinion of the Court to be, that this wa,3 an offence at common law—that the punish ment alone was Altered by the statute, which it was not necessary to allege.—Judgment fur the Crown. BAIL COURT, May 3. THE QUEEN P. MEYER. The dofendant in this ease had been committed for trial on a charge of having violently assaulted his bro but under circumstances of great provoca tio:!, by Mr. Twyford, one of t' magistrates at the Poliec-court. ITh the day after the de fi,ridant*,; commitment Mr. Clarki.on applied to this (!Gurt, and obtained a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the defendant--a writ of certiorari to remove the depositions taken against the defendant into this Court—and also a rule calling upon the prosecutor to thow ause why the defendant should not be discharged roue custody, on his entering into such recognizances as the Court might direct, after having before it the who!e facts a the case. Yesterday the defendant was brought tip untl,r the writ of habeas, when Mr. who appeared on the part of the prosecution, sa id he hal no uppcsition to make to the patties whom the ttsfendant had proposed as his bsil. The rctptired recootnizlimes Si ere then entered into, and the defendant was disc liarged feotn custody. IMPORTANT TO WLICITORS. Mr. CROMPTON said he had been in .tructed by the solicitor to the Commissioners' of Stamps and Taxes to apply to his lordship for a rule to show cause why an attorney should not be struck off tte rolls, whose name it was not necessary to mention, aril to whom not tie slightest misconduct was imputed by the party by whom he was instructed. The circumstances which gave rise to the application were briefly these:—The gentleman had been admitted an attorney of the County Palatine lourt of Lancaster, having previously served his clerk ship under articles which bore a stamp of 60/. only, that being all that was necessary to entitle him to admission to practise in that court. He had since been anxious to be admitted to practise in the superior courts, and to enable him to do so, had paid an additional sum of 604 making in the whole the amount required on the articles of clerkship of parties seeking such admission; the ques tion, however, was as to the right construction of the Stamp Act, and whether that act did not require that, notwithstanding he had already paid 601., he must now pay the whole sum of 1201. in order to enable him to be admitted an attorney of the superior courts at West minster, and the present application was made in order to obtain the opinion of the Court as to the construction of the statute. Mr. Justice Coleridge granted a rule to show cause. ARCHES' COURT; May 3. SUSPENSION OF A CLERGYMAN FOR THREE YEARS.— At the sitting of this Court, Sir H. J. Fust pro nounced sentence in the case of " The office of the Judge promoted by Towers v. the Rev. Mr. Hurst." The Learned JUDGE said it was a proceeding against the Rev. John Hurst, the rector of Feniton, in the dio cese of Chichester, and instituted by the Rural Dean, charging, by articles, the defendant with adultery, in continence, obscene language, &c. The Court would not go into a detail of the grossly inch cent conduct of the reverend gentleman. It would avoid referring at length to the charge. The first charge was that of adul tery with Mrs. Dolman, the wife of a labourer in the employ of the Rev. Mr. Hurst. It appeared from her evidence that her husband was committed, on a charge of stealing, to Lewes Gaol, for two or three months— that she was left destitute with her children—that the defendant, taking advantage of her state, visited her at her cottage, and induced her to commit the crime of adul tery. The woman in this first charge came forward and avowed her own shame; and it was clear, too, there was a feeling of animosity on her part, the rev. gentleman having subsequently put in a distress for rent. The husband of Mrs.Dolman also came forward as a witness, but it did not appear that he had connived at his wife's guilt. If the evidence upon this part of the case could not be im peached, there was not a doubt but the Rev. Gentleman had been guilty of adultery with Mrs. Dolman. She de posed to receiving presents of money, &c., from the Rev. Mr. Hurst, " in order to induce her to give way to his desires." Then there was the charge of adulterous con nexion with his servants. Mrs. Hurst slept apart, and it was proved that he would leave his bedroom at night and go to the servants' room, and sleep with two of them in one bed. This was sworn to by the youngest servant, who slept in a bed in the same room. She had sworn that he attempted to get into bed with her ; that he used coercion, hot that she resisted, and then he went and got into the other bed where her two fellow-servants were. The credit of this witness had been impeached, as she had remained in the service of the Rev. Mr. Hurst for fourteen weeks afterwards, but the fact appeared to be that she would have had no home to go to if she had left rfinediately, as th e R ev . Ge nt l eman had threatened to turn tier fath er an d mot h er out o f t h e co tt age th e y occupied it she went. This witness dirt tell 'SIC& Hurst of the eonduet of the husband in attempting . to get into her bQd. said she co u ld not helpit. If there was not any truth in the ch arge of adultery committed, as alleged, by the Rev. Mr: Hurst with the h two servants, , why did Ito not call them to disprove the charge? Mr. Hurst had not called a single witness as e t e o is . general conduct. There was ample proof of adultery, les in . contmency, and indecent language to other ir f f u r ly a prov , ed indeed of such gross immorality as must, tend to bring s candal upon the church, anti which called imperatively lion the Court to administer the law to check such coudaet. The COURT had no doubt that the Rev. Mr. Hurst had Levu guilty of nearly all the heinous conduct Put to him. The Court had the power of deprivation. m ( 4 t hat there sys now no question. If incontinence would lead to deprivation the commis non of a d u lt ery oug ht to 410 so Th e paishioners of the parish left the church in consequence ri the conduct of Mr. Hurst, and since he was inhibited from doing duty it appears they had returned. This showed the feelings of the parish upon the subject. Looking to the decisions in former cases the Court thought that though this was not a ease in ehich deprivation shouldlir! declared, still it was one in which a suspension for time ;ears ho pro nounced. The Court was raixionS to sire the rev. grim tlsman time for reformation, so that might return to his parish; and recollecting that no tartl.ier charge bee had b e en made against him during the period he n suspended from doing duty in the church (about seven months already) the Court would direct the suspension for three years, and the payment of all the costs of the suit.

GUILDHALL. _ A disagreeable-looking fellow, named Thomas Agnew, I in the employ of Mr. Pearce, a painter i i Ironmonger lane, was charged with having committa the following outrage upon her Majesty's subjects. On Friday afternoon the prisoner w t painting the fronts of some houses in Alderman's-row, Old Broad street, when a pot which contained paint, and which was standing on the pavement, was partly upset by two fe males who were passing along. The prisoner instantly caught it up, and, without the slightest ceremony, threw the contents of it indiscriminately about ; the result of which was, that portions of the paint went upon an in fant's face, a little boy had his clothes completely spoiled by the paint, and a gentleman had his attire nearly sharing the same fate. Instead of apologising he displayed the coolest impudence when he was given into custody. The prisoner said it was the women's fault ; if it had not been for them be should not have thrown the paint. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—What business had you to throw it about at'all? You might have blinded several persons with your malicious attack. You are a very bad fellow, and for this assault I fine you 51., or three months' imprisonment. CLERKEIV WELL. Fisher Lloyd, a young man of gentlemanly manners and exterior, was charged by Mr. Thomas Reves, gold and silversmith, of No. 137, Goswell-street. on suspicion of having been concerned in breaking and entering his premises, and stealing articles of plate, &c., to the amount of upwards of 300/. Mr. Robinson attended on the part of the prisoner, and another solicitor for the prosecution. The prosecutor stated that on Friday night last he left his house, 137, Goswell-street, and proceeded to his residence in Barnsbury-park, Islington. Previous to leaving Goswell-street he carefully barricaded and locked up the house for the security of valuable plate and other property therein. On the following morning he received information that his house in Goswell-street had been entered and plundered by thieves. He pro ceeded thither, and found that the thieves had cut a panel out of a door at the back part of the house, suffi cient to admit a man's body. The house had been stripped of valuable property, consisting of articles of silver, plate, gold &c. ; and the front shop-window was stripped of silver tea-pots , trays, and other articles for show. Mr. GREENWOOD inquired whether he knew anything of the prisoner ? Prosecutor said he knew nothing of him. Mr. Robinson (surprised): What, not know him? Has not the prisoner called at your house with another party? —The prosecutor admitted that the prisoner had called upon him. Mr. Robinson: Ay, wasit not with Mrs. Elliott, to ask you to sign a petition to the Secretary of State for a commutation of her husband's sentence of transportation? —Prosecutor admitted this to be the fact. He called with Mrs. Elliott a month ago. lie only saw Mrs. Elliott two or three times. Mr. Robinson: Pray, sir, did you not propose to Mrs. Elliott to get the jury list?—Prosecutor: I did not. Mr. Robinson said that Elliott some time ago was tried at Oxford, for a Bank coach robbery, he (Mr. Ro binson) went professionally to Oxford, on the part of Elliott in May last, and a judge admitted him to bail; he was subsequently acquitted. He s% as a' terwards tried at Newgate, convicted, and sentenced to transportation, and after this the prisoner called on the prosecutor and had dealings with him. In answer to questions, the prosecutor said he did nut know that Elliott was tried at Oxf . Grd fur a Bank coach robbery. He was a m trried nian—hid been at Elliott's house, and Elliott at his. Ile ustcl t i conic and sell cold and silver. Did nut know he was a tobacconist. Had sold Mrs. Eiliott a gold chain atixr her husband's conviction. Mr. Robinson—Will you swear th,t Elliott did not visit your house when he was nut on bail in August? Pro secutor—lle did no!. I did not the.; kno N his name. Ile had only two dealings with him. N v,r watcLes of him since August. Only . one. He had bought watch cases. By Mr. Robinson—Made no entry in his books ; was not careful with his book-. 1-1 not destroyed any books since Elliott's conviction. Gale Os. an ounce fir gold watch-cases. Mr. GaF.z. - Nwoon asked if thoro was any evidence to produce to warrant hi.; detention of ttie prisoner? as yet there was nothing against Mr. Robinson—l can show that the piosectitor is a regular pu-c`laser of these men. . . srduntor for the prosecution—l can produce evidence to show the. pris, , ner's charac:cr. Mr. GREENWOOD-1 hay., no right to hear it. Is there any evidence to show t.ha, the prisoner has been dealing with the property, or that he is in any wiiy con cerned in the robbery ? Sergeant Archer, G—l re ceived him in my charge, I h.,ve not heard any evidence to pro , ince. Mr. GREENWOOD—There may be something behind this eAse which I know nothing of. There is no ev; hoe against the prisoner, and I :11Jil discharge him. The ruisaner was thin disci,arged, and he left the court with his solicitor rind friends. LAMBE% fi. On Saturday, Mary Brown, alias Davis, alias lh!th Orde, a well-dres=ed fee.ale, was placed at the bar before the lion. G. C. Norton, and charged with carrying on a wholesale system of shoplifting Frmn the evidence adduce 1, it appeared that the pri soner had been in the habit of at the shop of Mr. Mathews, a pawnbroker, in the Princes-road, Lam beth, to purchase trifling ;:rtieles ; and on several occa sions when she had been th,re articles of property had been missed. This circumstance determined the shop man to watch her narrowly the next time she called, and on Friday morning she managed to secrete a number of articles upon her person. Upon being given into custody site refused to give her address, but the constable who apprehended her, after much difficulty, succeeded in divine.; out her lodging in Vauxhall-street, Lambeth. On searching her apart ments a vast quantity of property, consisting of linen drapery, new shoes, dresses, and, in fact, goods of almost every description was found tin re, as well as a con siderable sum of money. The constable stated he had no doubt, whatever, from the variety and description of the articles, that they were the produce of different robberies, and that the prisoner carried on a wholesale system of plunder. The prisoner, who could give no account of the pro perty, was remanded to Thursday next. Richard Alexander, a potman at the Rosemary Branch Tavern and race-ground, Peckham, was charged with stealing from 41. to 51. in silver, the property of his master. Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Rosemary Branch Tavern, deposed that on the night before, between ten and eleven o'clock, a bag containing from U. to 71. in silver had been taken from the bar, and could not be found. Some time after, the prisoner brought back the bag quite wet, and about 20s. in silver in it, and said he had found it amongst some counter-cloths which he had removed from the counter. Ile was asked to account for the other moneys in the bag, but declared it was in the same state he had found it, and also said he had no. money about him. On being searched, however, a sove reign was found in his p eket which he said had been given to him by his wife, but this the wife positively denied. Mr. NORTON thought the probabilities were, that the prisoner had procured gold for the silver. Mr. Smith observed he had plenty of opportunities to do that, as the house was tilled with company, and a number of gentlemen were present to make entries of horses for the forthcoming races in his ground, so that he would have no difficulty in getting gold for the silver; but, besides this, he had left the premises for some time. The prisoner was remanded. . - COMMISSION 01' LUNACY. EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION. On Saturday a commission de lunatic° inquirendo was opened at the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion-square, before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, and a jury of fifteen free holders of the county of Middlesex, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. James Leopard, baker, late of Dock head, Bermondsey, now an inmate of Grove-hill Lunatic Asylum: The commission was sued out at the instance of the lunatic's wife. It appeared that the unfortunate lunatic, previous to the year 1843, had suffered consider able losses in trade, through which his mind became affected, and Ms friends found it necessary to place him under surveillance. In the first stage of the disease it bordered more upon a melancholy character, he fancying that he was very poor, and that all his money was bad. At a subsequent period, the disease became more appa rent, it having changed from melancholy to the most ex. travagant fancies and delusions respecting- his property, which he imagined was immense, and that he intended to make a railroad round the globe, by which means he would derive great interest for his money. He at times fancied himself a king, and that he had one hundred queens and wives, some black and some white, with a great number of children ; but the most extraordinary delusion he laboured under was a wish to destroy Lon don, which he fancied was his property. During the inquiry he was brought into court, and seated in a chair close to the Commissioner, who asked him several ques tions, but he answered in the most incoherent manner ; and upon being questioned as to the amount of money he had in the Bank, he said he had 1(0 black coats, 100 buttons, two queens, and lot; of wives ; two steamers and a great number of children. The jury, on hearing this, expressed themselves satisfied as to his insanity, and instantly returned a verdict to that effect, fixing the date of the disease from August, 1843. ANCIENT INN.—The Cross Keys, Gracechurch street, is not only one of the olde , t and Lirgest inns in a Lond o n, but it has played a conTicuous part in many one reign gone by ; entertainiug piince.i in public at time and secreting them at another. The history of the Cros s K eys a l one wou ld f orm a wor k o f n o ordinary interest. It must not then be wondered at that the anti quarian, some few months since, heard with regret that the 44 demon of demolition" was di alined to visit this, one of their favourite hatutt3, and to number with " the things that were" a building so replete ,Aith his darling thoughts. Ile will now, however, he rejoiced to hear, that the Cros Keys, -pith its mas,ive wooden balconies, has obtained a respite—indeed, fi-0.0 the thonaigh re storation it has undergon,., it is likely to xist many an age to come, cot a chartb, r or eerridor, staircase or st-cret. recess, has been tortured from its ancient style into the questionable " hupro%emetrts - ' of the present time.

RE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING , MAY 5, 1845. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BRI TISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. shot fired purposely at them. This was the sixteenth capture made upon the coast of Africa by Commodore Jones's squadron this year. The Hydra is of 220 horse-power and 120 men, admirably adapted for the slavery-suppression service. She sustained con siderable damage in her wheels, but was otherwise not materially injured. The fortieth annual meeting of this Society was held on Saturday at twelve o'clock, i• the large room of Exeter Hall; Lord John Russell In the chair. On the platform, besides the Noble Chairman, we recognised Lord Howick, M.P. ; Lord Ebrington, M.P. I Lord J. Stuart, M.P.; Sir George Grey, M.P.; Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P.; Mr. Hawes, M.P. ; Mr. Vernon Smith, M.P. ; Mr. Samuel Gurney, Dr. Laushingten, Mr. Bonet, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. Tooke, Dr. Campbell, and the 800. Robert Ainste. The NOBLE LORD, on taking the chair, was received with loud cheers. He said he was sure it was unnecessary for him to say much on behalf of a Society that had existed for so many years, and whose principles were so well known, and which had been de. eared from the beginning a society whose object was to ex. tend education to all classes, upon the most liberal principles, and whose triumph had been so complete. He was :sure that no fresh arguments need be used in support of the great objects the Society had in view. The declared principle of the Seciety was, that no solid or incontrovertible basis could be laid down for education but the Holy Scriptures; and it had, there. fore, been declared from the beginning of this Society that the education of the children of the people should be conducted on a foundation of instruction s in thelHoly Scriptures— instruction irrespective of creed or catechism. He must say that experience had but confirmed him in the opinion of the soundness of . the general policy of the Society. In look. ing over the Church Articles he found that nothing was required in points of faith but what was to be found and read in the Holy Scriptures. On that foundation all Protestants were oontent to rest. They were agreed that nothing more was necessary as a foundation of faith than the Bible. Diver sities in opinion may, and some of those important diversities did exist, but with respect, to the leading principle of their respective creeds they were all of one mind. He fully agreed with his much •respected friend Mr. W. Allen, that there was no solid basis for the instruction of the people but the Holy Scriptures.-- (Loud cheers.) But to instruction in these there were added, by this Society, arithmetic, geography, the various branches of the arts and sciences, in all which great progress had been made. But great as was the progress, there was still room for further improvement, suggestions on which would be found in the report of the Society about to be read to the meeting by the secretary. He would conclude by re. commending the Society to their continued"patronage and support, and he begged leave to add, that he was instructed by his brother, the Duke of Bedford, to intimate the renewal of his subscription of 1001. The Noble Lord concluded amidst great cheering by calling upon the secretary to read the report. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the annual report of the Society. It set forth that the model school of the Society contained at present 700 boys, and from three hundred to four hundred girls. There had been admitted since the establishment of the school 44,628 children. The number of students at present in the Normal College was two hundred and seventeen, of which 164 were attending the classes. During the present year the number of the students admitted had been 272, which, with 97 brought over from last year, made a total of 371. Of these, during the year, 264 had been appointed to schools in various stations at home and abroad. The report went into a long and elaborate statement of the proceedings of the Society in the various quarters of the glebe during the past year, and concluded by inti. mating that the finances of the Society were in a more flourishing condition than for some time past. The TREASURER read the balance-sheet of the receipts and ex penditure of the Society for the past year. According to this statement the receipts from all quarters had been 16,3931. 7s. 2d. ; the expenditure 16,1401. 16s. I Id. ; leaving a balance in hand of 2521. 10s. 3d. Sir GEORGE GREY, M.P., moved the first resolution—" That the report just read be printed and published, under the superintendence of the Committee, and that a list of names attached to the report be the Committee of Management for the ensuing year. He considered no arguments from him were necessary in support of the resolution he had moved. He was firmly attached to the principles of the Society, because it was net established on sectarian or exclusive principles, but on the broad basis of Christian faith as laid down in the Holy Scriptures. Mr. VERNON SMITu, M.P., briefly seconded the resolution, which was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. Dr. LUSHINOTON moved the second resolution, and declared his steadfast adherence to the policy of the Society, which he con sidered had done an immense amount of good. The Learned Gentleman entered i.ito a statistical statement, showing that crime and ignorance were always to be found associated together, and that the only way to reduce the one was to extend the other. For this important object, Le considered no Society better cilcu. _ _ . lited than the British and Foreign School Society. He concluded by moving the resolution expresiive of the satisfaction of the meeting at the great progress which the Society had made during the past year. The Rev. ROBERT AINSLIE seconded the resolution. He was connected with another Society, established upon a similar prin ciple to the present ; it was the Congregational School Society, which had raised, upon the voluntary principle alone, for educa tional purposes, the sum of 70,000!. There was one point in the recent policy of the present society to which he decidedly objected; he meant the receiving from the Government the sum of 7501. annually for toe support of their Normal schools. He had great faith in the voluntary principle, and he objected to taking Go vernment money, whether for a British and Foreign Society, Normal school, or for Maynooth College.—(Great cheering.) The resolution was put and carried by acclamation. Several other resolutions expressive of the confidence of the meeting in the general policy of the Society, and calling upon it for renewed exertions, were severally put and carried. They were spoken to by Lord Howick, Lord Ebrington, Lord J. Stuart, the Rev. Joseph Crowther, the Rev. Dr. Bart, of Wirtemberg, and the Rev. John Aldis. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, when the meeting, which was a very fall and respeetable one, separated. LOSS OF THE STEAM-BOAT SWALLOW. The New York Sun of April 9 publishes the particulars of the loss of the steam-b 'at Swallow, having on board 350 passengers, the particulars of which we subjoin : " The steam.boat Swallow, having on board about 350 pas sengers, left Albany last Monday evening as six o'clock, for this city. When opposite Hudson, near Athens, she struck a rock and broke in two. " All was consternation on board ; the ladies were terribly alarmed and agitated, and many were for jumping overboard in their efforts to reach the rock, or to save themselves in any way. The gen lemen, whose minds were cool and collected in the midst of the disaster, endeavoured to prevent any of the ladies leaving the boat, ' considering all safe in clinging to the wreck. " What rendered the scene more appalling was the total dark ness of the night—the water coming up to the hurricane deck, and the ladies being drawn up through the skylights drenched in water. The heeling of the boat brought the fire of the furnaces in contact with the wood, and a lurid flame burst forth, lighting up at once, and adding to the horrors of the scene ; surrounded by fire and water, every effort was made by each person to provide for their own safety. The terror seemed to be at its highest when the boat broke in two, the water put the fire out, and the stern sunk. "At this critical moment the steam-boats Express and Ro. cheater came up, and immediately got out all their boats, to pick up those who were in the water, and save the residue who were clinging to the wreck—of these the Rochester took on board 150, and the Express 50. Many were known, however, to have reached Hudson and Athens, as boats were promptly dispatched from both places. " The rock is well known, and had the pilot kept in the channel the accident would not have occurred." interesting, and it wac nr,t till within ft fe,i cf that point, that the ikividere L.) anaged to txo Mystery, which she did in the most beautiful manner, and rounded the buoy ten seconds in advance at eleven minutes :past two. The Blue Bell was third, about a minute and a half afterwards, with the Ino close upon the latter; the Widgeon, Antagonist, Prima Donna, and Champion rounding in the order stated, the Antagonist being five minutes behind the Belvidere, and the Cham pion six minutes in the rear of the Antagonist. Now commenced the " tug of war," as the yachts had to beat up to windward, and against the tide, which had about three hours yet to flow. All struck their top sails, with the exception of the Antagonist and Cham• pion. The Belvidere then took a splendid lead ; and it is in this description of sailing that her qualities were said to be so pre-eminent. In coming through the Lower Hope the Ino improved her position, and went by the Mystery and Blue Bell, the latter having previously dis possessed the Mystery of the second place. To this lot the race was now left. In Sea-reach the Bell again resumed the second place, and from this point to the end of Gravesend-reach, gradually overhauled the Belvidere. Just below Gravesend, when close upon the latter, the Blue Bell put about, and the Belvidere did the same for the purpose of weathering the Bell. To avoid this, the latter again put down her helm, by which excellent manoeuvre she cleared the Belvidere in the most clever manner, and continued her course in shore, whilst the Belvidere steered for the Kentish shore, and taking a wide board, succeeded in weathering the Bell on the next tack, mad again obtained the lead. This clever maoeuvring on the part of both captains was loudly applauded by those on board the steamer. All interest in the match was now confined to the movements of these two yachts, but the doubts were not of long duration ; it was clearly evident that the Belvidere was " slow in her stays," and lost ground every board, whilst the Blue Bell, being what coursers would term a splen did " turner" and " worker," went away with the letti, which she increased the further she went, and eventually passed the flag-buoy at Greenwich twelve minutes in advance of the Belvidere, the time being— The Blue Bell at 24 minutes past eight. The Belvidere at 36 minutes past eight. Immediately after the race, amidst the " pelting of the pitiless storm," the cup was presented to Twisden Hodges, Esq., the owner of the Blue Bell, by the Commodore, after drinking health, long life, and hap piness to the liberal donor, Lord Saye and Sele. We must not forget to mention another act of the extreme liberality of his Lordship in sending two cases of cham pagne on board the steamer for the use of the company. The arrangements of the day were admirably carried out by the commodore and stewards, who used their utmost exertions in securing attention to the wants and comforts of all on board.

Pratt, Esq., of Covert, Seneca county, New York, who was a passenger in the Swallow at the time of the disaster : •' On going into the ladies' cabin, after the vessel struck, he found it full of ladies, and, seising his two daughters, he rushed forward, in company with his grandson, leaving in the ladies' cabin two ladies named Coffin, who were in company with an aged lady from Troy, these being the only ladies whose names were known to his daughters. " Passing to the forward deck,he was met by some one who told him to keep off the bows, as the boat was going down; and as he turned to get to the hurricaue deck. with his daughters and grand son, he was met by a rush of water sweeping over the lower deck from the stern, and turning round caught a glimpse of the two Misses Coffin behind him, but on gaining the upper deck with his charge, they were missing; search wit made for their bodies on the lower deck, and one of them recovered, but quite dead. The other could not be found. _ _ " As the boat sunk down, about 25 or 30, or more, took refuge in the state room, believing that they would be safe, but they were soon overwhelmed, some escaping on settees, chairs, and tables, and floating away, while a few gained the hurricane deck, but it is feared that several remained in the rooms and were drowned. Of those who floated off (about 15 or 20) two gentlemen and a lady were found clinging to a settee, about a mile and a half below the wreck—all three alive, but greatly exhausted. They were taken to Athens. Of the others who tried to save themselves by similar means, nothing was known up to yesterday afternoon, and it is feared they have perished. "Passengers saved— The Express took on board • - The Rochester - - Carried to Athens and Hudson 7O Total " Passengers lost or missing—Th• following are the lost and missing, as far as ascertained " Missing—Mrs. Conklin, Miss Coffin, of Troy; Mrs. Gilson, and two young ladies, from Albany, whose brother was at the wreck, anxiously searching for their bodies; Mrs. Walker, of New York ; Mrs. French; and Mrs. Lambert." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 2.—The Emerald tender, which was die. patched to the wreck of the Skylark on Monday, returned on Wed nesday evening with some of the rigging and stores of the 111-fated brig She sailed yesterday for the Medway, with supernumeraries for the Trafalgar and Queen. The Active revenue cutter, Lieut. Elwin, arrived yesterday from the wreck of the Skylark, bringing stores saved. The Monkey steamer passed Spithead from Woolwich to . South ampton on• Wednesday, believed to convey carriages, &c., from Southampton to the Isle of Wight, for the use of her Majesty next week. She returned yesterday. The Alban steam transport, Lieut.. Commander Lowe, arrived on Wednesday night, with Marines from the corps. serving in Ire land, and upwards of 100 volunteers for the navy. The Actaeon, 26, Captain .Mansel, left Santa Cruz for the Cape of Good Hope on the 13th of March. The Alert, 6, Lieut.-Commander Bosanquet, was spoken with on her way from the Gallinas to Ascension on the 1 lth of March, in lat. I N., long. SW. Fever on board. . The Pantaloon, 10, Commander Wilson, left Ascension for Sierra Leone, on the 10th of March, to place herself under the orders of Commodore Jones, in the Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, cruising about there. The Hydra, cteam sloop, Commander Young, was at Sierra Leone ow the 30th of March. We have received letters to the above date, which let at rest the doubted capture of the notorious slave felucca which beet off the Growier's pinnace in January last, when Lieutenant Lodwick was wounded, and which had so long eluded our sailing cruisers. She was captured in the Bight of Benin, and when taken possession of bore evident marks of the rough encounter she had sustained from the pinnace of the Grow. ler; the mizen was completely riddled, the mainsail cut to ribands, and, it is believed, five men were killed in action, as their lames did not appear in the felucca's papers when captured. Her crew was about 70 men. The felucca was named the Hurican, asd a cargo of 700 slaves were waiting to be shipped at the Gallinas ; 70 were found on board at the time she was captured. Eight days after the capture of the Hurican the Hydra made prize of another equally famous, or rather infamous, slaver, and which had given our fleetest cruisers the slip on several occasions. This was the Peptita, captured during the night, after a most exciting and interesting chase, the felucca striving " might and main" to get away; but the Hydra's 68. pounders committed havoc in her sails, crippled her speed, and shattered her hull and bulwarks. The felucca, still, however, carried on, but found steam too powerful for her, as the Hydra gamed upon her fast, and soon came up with her, when Lieut. Rooystra, acting First Lieut. of the Hydra, boarded her and took possession, at which time he discovered every preparation for a most bloody re. sistance, a long IS-pounder being poin'ed over her quarter, loaded with grape and round shot, a cask full of cartridges near, several b sf : e a m rd, t h a e n a s h swivels loaded with one-pound balls, four chests of arms, the mug. kets and pistols all double-loaded, some with ball and others with w or o e u w ld h h e a n v s e h e des *Tugs, the deck strewed with round and grapeshot, and upwards of 2_ 00 rounds in her magazine. She had upwards of :300 slaves on doubled cried th t a h t e n t u r m yd b r e a r towards ss her.had not been captured, as a number of canoes were pulling off to her It being dark at the time, h thought t e she could elude her pursuer n ii ilk a in f g ew tol h va o by slipping her cable and running • which she did in beautiful style, and would have given her have escaped pursuer much more trouble , if not altogether, had not her sails been riddled by the heavy THIRD DAY.

The following protest has been forwarded to the stewards of the Jockey Club:— Sir,—We, the undersigned, owners of horses engaged in the Derby Stakes at Epsom, beg leave, through you, to address the stewards of Epsom Races in reference to the qualification of the horse Ironmaster. We understand that the question of his qualification has been submitted by Mr. Hill to the stewards, and was to have been determined by them last week, but we are now informed that he has withdrawn the case from their jurisdiction, and consequently that no question has taken place, or is likely to take place, thereupon. From the tenour of the communication, which we un derstand has been made to the stewards, we infer that Mr. Hill intends to bring Ironmaster to the post, and to start him for the Derby, without the question of his qualification having been decided. We therefore protest against the right of any person to start a horse under such circumstances, and we hereby require the stewards not to allow the horse to start unless his right to do so shall have been primarily ascertained; and we give this, the earliest possible notice of our objection, in order that Mr. Hill may have time to establish his case. Our objection rests upon the following plain and simple grounds:—We find in the Racing Calendars for 1843 and 1844, the following entry for the Derby, 1845: —"Mr. Marshall's ch c Ironmaster," &c. Mr. Marshall, the admitted owner, and for all that appears to the con trary, the namer of this horse is dead, and no horse, the nominator of which is deceased, can start for any race ; of course, if Ironmaster was not named for the Derby by the Mr. Marshall who died last year, but by some other person of the same name living, our objection falls at once to the ground; but this is pre cisely the matter in dispute, and the question is, not whether Ironmaster would be entitled to the stakes in the event of his coming in first, but whether he is entitled to start at all for the race—a question which must of necessity be decided before the race, and be determined according to the laws and-usages of the turf, in respect to nominations. We therefore submit that on the face of the nomination it is void, and that, unless the owner of Ironmaster can prove that it is good and valid, he has no right to start, and ought not to be permitted to start, the horse for the Derby.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants, C. C. GREVILLE, CHESTERFIELD, VERULAM, W. S. STANLEY, GLASGOW, J. GULLY, S. WREFORD. Newmarket, April, 1845. This letter has been communicated by Mr. Weatherby to the owner of Ironmaster, with an intimation, we believe, similar to one given in the Craven Meeting, that they are prepared to depute certain members, having no interest, in the event, to hear , and determine the case, which they shall be prepared to go into on Saturday next. Mr. Hill, we hear, intends to rely on the legal opinion, Tna NEW LAW COMMISSIONS.—The Lord Chan cellor has given notice of his intention to move for a com mission to inquire into the law of insolvency and impri sonment for debt. In the year 1839 a commission was issued on bankruptcy and insolvency, from which re sulted the present Bankrupt Act, and the new Insolvent Debtors' Act, as administered by the Court of Bank ruptcy. A very great improvement has been effected in the bankrupt law by placing the allowance of the certificate in the hands of the Commissioners ; and one of the principles of the new Insolvent Debtors' Act was the power given of hearing parties witheut going to prison, and notwithstanding the abuse of the privilege, the provision has had a beneficial effect. But last session a sudden alteration was made in the same Act, which has produced a great change in the law of debtor and creditor —namely, the abolition of im prisonment oa executions for debts not exceeding 201. It is complained that no remedy has been provided for the boon granted ; and it is understood that one of the objects of the commission will be to inquire whether a remedy can be suggested, so as to su persede the repeal of the clause in question. Prisons have been Emptied, and debtors have defied their creditors to take proceedings against them, as they cannot touch their persons. A diminution of about one-fourth in the number of writs issued by the law courts, since the ope ration of the last Act has taken place. There are two laws (besides the Debtor and Creditor Act) relating to insolvent debtors, and the Commissionera will have to consider their assimilation ; and they will also have to consider, before they recommend the full repeal of the 201. clausr, the instances of oppression by creditors, as recorded in the last report of Captain Williams, the prison inspector. FATAL ACCIDENT ABOARD SHlP.—Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Bull's Head, East Smithfield, on the body of Thomas M. Forbes, aged 20. Deceased was a seaman on board the barque Crusader, now lying in the St. Katherine Docks. On Monday night last, as the vessel was passing the North Foreland, the deceased was ordered to the mast head to unfurl the topsails, and whilst doing so, the gasket he had hold of broke, and he fell headforemost on to the deck, and fractured his skull, from which injury he expired in a few minutes afterwards. Verdict..—" Accidental death." FIRE INSCRANCES.—From; a return obtained by Colonel Sibthorp, M.l' , relative to fire insurances, it appears that during the year 1844 the gross total amount of the sums insured by all the fire-offices in town and country, on farming stock, ex. empt from duty, was 54,927,572/., namely, 16,375,817/. in the quarter ending the 25th of March, 1844 ; 5,080,772/. in the quarter ending the 24th of June, 1844; 8,109,208/.

MATCH FOR TIIE BELVIDERE CUP. - _ The first sailing match of the season took place on Saturday for the Belvidere Cup, the handsome and muni ficent gift of the Right Hon. Lord Saye and Sele, by whom it was presented to the club, to commemorate the re-acceptance of the office of commodore by W. H. Har rison, Esq. The cup, which was manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, in shape somewhat resembles the G and Challenge Cup, which was manufactured by Mr. Prior, of Newington-causeway, though its weight is not quite so much by eleven ounces. It stands upon a small square pedestal, the body being supported by three dolphins, and on one side is engraved the following:—" Presented by the Right Hon. Lord Saye and Sele to the R.T.Y.C. ;" the obverse side being left blank, in order that the victorious yacht may be engraved upon it. The border of the cup is composed of shells and sea• weed, and the two handles are formed of shells, all beau tifully wrought. The cover is surmounted by a figure of old Neptune, wit h his tride nt , standing on a rock, sur rounded by waves , out of w hich a triton is in the act of rising. The who le is beauti fully executed, and, as a work of art, is of the most elegant and chaste descrip tion. It is manufactured of silver, and after its exhibi tion at the banquet which was given to the Commodore, was sent back to the Messrs. Roskell's to be gilt, but by some extraordinary neglect it was not received on board the steamer until she arrived at Gravesend on the home ward passage. The Red Rover steamer, belonging to the Herne Bay Company, was engaged by the club, for the accommoda• tion of the membe rs and their f riends , and this fine Amongst those on board we observed ny ever known a t any o f t h e f ormer club ongst vessel left the A delaide wharf, London - bridge , at a quarter past nine o'clock, with t h e largest and most Wilkinsonfashiomneabtelehecs.om Earl Cadogan, Lor d Uxbrid g e, Ca ptain Freestun , Capt. Marryatt, Captain Durand, Messrs. W. Grimston, Rey nell, Fontein, peg, ,c., besides a large con course of ladies. The weather, with the_ exception of a few "showers towards - evening; was exbeedingly propitious. The Comet (Intekwall), No. It) Waterman, Syren, Matri mony, and Nymph steamers also accompanied the match. The Red Rover, after calling at Greenwich and Black wall, at both of which places several additions were made to the company, arrived at Erith at twenty minutes past eleven, and " hove to" in sight of Belvidere House, the beautiful residence of the liberal donor of the Cup. from wnose grounds the ensign and burgee of the Royal Thames Yacht Club were prominently displayed. The yachts were riding quietly in the splendid reach opposite Erith, affixed to their "spring-buoys," their stations being as follows : Antagonist, 25 tons, London, H. Gunston, Esq., owner. Prima Donna, 25, London ' C. R. Tatham, Esq. Ch a mpion, 25, Weymouth, T. P. Wickham, Esq. Belvidere, 25, London, Lord A. Paget Ino, 25, London, T. Meeson, Esq. (Captain) Blue Bell, 26, London, Twisden Hodges, Esq. Mystery, 25, London, Viscount Seaham. Widgeon, 24, London, T. E. Snook, Esq. Cygnet, 10, Southampton. B. N. Williams, Esq. The Enigma, 25, F. P. Jones, Esq. ; the Gazelle, 25, T. Rutherford, Esq.; Exquisite, 15, J. Wilkinson, Esq.; The Leveret, 25, W. Fenwick, Esq.; and t he V i xen, 25, J. Heighington, Esq., were drawn. There had been -a great deal of betting on this race, and the odds at start ing were 3 to 1 agst the Blue Bell, 3 to 1 agst the Ino, 4to 1 agst the Belvidere, sto 1 agst the Mystery. The Blue Bell and the Belvidere were backed against the field ; and 2 to I laid that an iron boat won. Some time since 75 to 25 was laid on the Belvidere against the Blue Bell, and taken by the owner of the latter. The Belvidere was steered by Mr. C. Stokes, the Mystery by Mr. J. Lee, the Blue Bell by Mr. Sawyer, and the other yachts by their respective o wners. There was a good stiff breeze from W.S.W., very fa vourable for running down, affording good working up. The distance was from Erith, round a buoy off Chap man's Head, and back to Greenwich. At precisely half past twelve o'clock the signal gun was fired. The little Cygnet was first off, in company with the Widgeon, the Mystery being third, with the Ino and Blue Bell abreast; and the others close together, with the exception of the Champion, who brought up the re ar. The yachts, with the exception of the Widgeon , se t their topsails, when the Mysts ry spanked away in gal lant st y le, and took the lead before rounding Purfleet Point, the others following in this order:—Blue Bell, Widgeon,. Cygnet, Prima Donna, Champion, Belvidere, Ino, and Antagonist. In Long Reach the Ino and Antagonist took the third and fourth places, and th e little Cygnet dropping gradually astern of her mo re powerful opponents, was soon out of the race. No change occurred with the leading yachts for some distance, and it would be anim posing a tedi o u s t as k upon our readers were we to notice the continual " c h a p s d changes which occurred h.. tween those in the rear. In Northfleet Hope it blow great guns," and it was found necessary to lower the topsail of Prima Donna, who holed over to sueli extent that it was a t one time feare d by those on board the stean.er that she w o uld go ov er alto g ether. For tunately, however, no thi n g of the tootsr occurred, and without h-r topsail sh e appeared o much bett , r. The Belvidere, in St. Clement's Reach, took the fourth place, and off Coalhouse point went by the Ino in splen did style, and wa s gaining fast upon the Blue 8 211, win n the topmast of the latter ga ve wa y a few feet from the " cap," and the Eelvidere posed her to leeward. The Mystery was taill heading, and many thought from the admirable manner in which she was sailing, that she was going to "do the trick" again. The contest down to the rounding flag, between these two vessels, was most CO jRT CIRC _IE..

[ ADVERTISEMENT. ]--A PERSON SUFFERING GREATLY FROM IMPAIRED lIEALTR, WEAKNESS, AND DEBILITY, CURED BY ,HOLLOWAY'S PILLS !—The fol lowing is a statement made by the wife of a General in the army as to the following facts :—" A person, whose constitution appeared so decayed that pins might be run into her ancles without feeling any p a i n ; h er l egs swelled to the size of a child's body, :and then burst and became ulcerated to a fearful degree ; in other respects she appeared like one in the last stage of dropsy, yet was completely cured by giving her Holloway's Pills, when every other means had failed." Mr. Besley, the proprietor of the Exeter Chronicle, can give the name and address of Mrs. General B—, who witnessed this cure. Sold by the proprietor, 244, Strand, and all chemists. _ [ADVERTISEMENT.] — The Gentleman's Real Head of Hair, or Invisible Ventilating Peruke, is so close a resemblance to nature as to defy detection ; and to enable any gentleman to see the effect, a large assort ment is always kept for inspection, any one of which, if approved of, saves the purchaser both time and trouble. These splendid spechnens of the perruquean art, supe rior to anything to be obtained elsewhere, either in Paris or London, have only to be seen to ho admired, and are the sole invention of Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London. N.B. Splendid hair cutting apartments on the ground floor, the whole of the walls being lined with looking-glass, :1 la mode de Paris. Is is rumoured that a key to the characters in the new novel cf " Self," by the author of " Cecil," is pre paring for publication. The number of individuals al luded to, obviously portraits of living or lately deceased persons, certainly entitles the work to that distinguished honour, though it will cut short the pl easure now b e i ng enjoyed by so many of finding out th e or i g i na l s o f the various portraits exhibited in its pages—the brightest of which, however, according to the eltlvncrunt, are its humorous ones. " When all is said and done," sajs the same acute critic, " the reading world would he truly blind to its own interests were it to refuse to welcome one of this worldly, clever, and entertaining family of novels. Long live Cecil, then! and may the gall in his ink, promised - in the motto, and performed in ' Self,' hold bitterly out." PA ARV B USINESS. SO [WES VEN Al THE PItIVATE BILL OFFIO FRIDAY, MAT 2.
