In the House of Lords, Lord BROUGHAM withdrew his two Bills relating to the County Courts. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in moving for certain returns, attacked the provisions of the Merchant Sea men's Fund BilL The measure was defended by Earl GRANVILLE, and the returns were ordered. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons, At the morning sitting, the Merchant Seamen's Fund Bill was considered in Committee, as were several clauses of the Lands Clauses Consolidation (Ireland) Bill. At the evening sitting, the Inhabited House Duty Bill. and the Chief Justices Salaries Bill, were respec tively read a third time and passed. Mr. HUME moved an address, praying ‘ ‘ That her Majesty wou ld a ppoint a commission to inquire into the proceedings of Sir J a mes Brooke on the north-western coast of Borneo, since his appointment as her Majesty's ' Commissioner and Consul•Guneral to the Sultan and Independent Chiefs o f Borneo; and, especially, into the attack made by her Majesty's and the East India Com pany's naval forces, under his advice and direction, on certa i n wild tribes of that island, called the Sakarran and Serebas Dyaks, on the night of the 31st July, 1849. And further, that her Majesty would command that the opinion of the Judges be taken and laid before the House, touching the legality or otherwise of the holding by Sir James Brooke, at one and the same time, of several apparently incompatible offices." Mr. URQUHART seconded the motion. Mr. HEADLAM opposed the motion, and contended that the destruction of these piratical Dyaks was re quired by the interests of justice and humanity. Mr. URQUHART denied tb at the Dyaks were pirates. Mr. M..Mu.NEs passed a high eulogium on Sir JAMES BROOKE, to whom the civilized world was under great obligations for having destroyed this horde of pirates. Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND defended Sir JAMES BROOKE —the attack upon him had been instigated by private parties from personal motives. Mr. MACGREGOR defended the parties to whom Mr. H. DRUMMOND had alluded. Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE quoted the authority of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE as eviuthce of the existence of piracy among the Dyaks of Borneo. Mr. GLADSTONE was convinced that Sir JAMES BROOKE, when environed by most difficult circum stances, had behaved as became a wise and a humane man. Personal motives were at the bottom of the hostile agitation of this question. Formal inquiry at Singapore bad justified Sir J. BROOKE, and although ho thought the pirates ought not to be slaughtered except caught in the act of piracy, yet the responsibility of these pro ceedings rested nut with Sir J. BROOKE, but with the Commander of the forces of her MAJESTY and of the Eat India Company, and with the Government. Lord PALMERSTON said, in reply to Mr. GLADSTONE, that his assertion as to our right to deal with pirates applied only to the mode of dealing with them after they had been made prisoners. These Dyaks had been destroyed in the attempt to capture them, and had been treated in perfect accordance with the laws of war. There could be no doubt of these persons having been pirates; the Bornean seas had been rendered unsafe for merchants, and great losses had been sustained by them. The Dyak nation lived by piracy, and had, indeed, no other visible means of subsistence. Arguing, therefore, first, that the parties had been pirates, and secondly, that their destruction had been conducted according to the laws recognised by Rations in such cases, he con tended there was no charge made out, and he appealed to the House to give an honourable acquittal to the eminent man who had been so unfairly assailed. Mr. COBDEN asserted that there was no proof that the Dyaks were pirates, which assertion was met by Sir F. THESIGER, who declared there could be no doubt as to the piratical nature of the proceedings of the parties who bad been killed in resisting their lawful capture. Colonel THOMPSON disbelieved that any piracy ex isted in the seas in question; in reply to whom, Mr. FORSTER read from Lloyd's List accounts of be• tween thirty and forty British vessels which had since 1839 been attacked by pirates in these very seas. Mr. HUME replied, and the House divided, when there appearcd— . . For Mr. Fume's motion ... ... 19 Against it 230 Majority against it ... -211 The remaining business was then disposed of, and the House adjourned. Yesterday we demonstrated by a few simple hut unanswerable facts the glaring injustice of the accu sations directed against the Raja of SARAWAK. Sub sequently, the discussion on those charges, provoked by the motion of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose, came on in the House of Commons, and yvas conducted, as the reports suffi ciently indicate, with a tolerable degree of animation. A glance at the division, by which the debate upon Sir JAMES BROOKE and his policy towards the na tions of the Oriental Archipelago was brought to a conclusion, will evidence clearly enough, wa imagine, the frivolity of the attack made by a petty section of enthusias's upon the character of one of the most disinterested and dis tinguished among the representatives of our beloved SOVEREIGN. A miserable minority of 19 was counted out into one lobby, while no less than 230 declared themselves resolutely in favour of the Governor of Labuan, Consul-General of Borneo, and Raja of Sarawak. After this triumphant declaration of the sentiments with which the British Legislature regards the proceedings of Sir JAMES BROOKS towards the pirates of the Oriental Archi pelago, we presume that no further calumnies will be permitted to be directed against a servant of the Crown so eminent for his efforts for the advancement of civilization. Henceforth, in spite of the sinister aspersions of a few infatuated and disappointed mal contents, the remarkable personage here exonerated from all blame in regard to the manner of his ad ministration will be remembered in the:history of our Esti tern possessions as one of the most meritorious labourers in the improvement of the Asiatic popu lation. While Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES will be cele brated by the annalist of those islands as the origi nator of their commercial prosperity, Sir JAMES BROOKE will be admired as the originator of their political advancement. Such will be the award of posterity to those illustrious benefactors of their spe cies when the traducers of the latter are nearly all of them obliterated from public recollection. It cannot be forgotten that when comment ing, in our last impression, on the probable results of the vituperation directed against Sir JAMES BROOKE, we remarked, with a certain degree of emphasis, that so far from militating against his popularity they would prove in the end eminently calculated to enhance the lustre and magnitude of his reputation. As a fact almost immediately corroborative of that assurance, we may direct attention to the splendid panegyric pronounced last evening upon his Excellency by a statesman no less illustrious than her MAJESTY'S Principal Secre tary for the Foreign Department. That, of itself, we are satisfied, must be looked upon by Sir JAMB E , BROOKE as an ample compensation for the annoyances he must have course have endured from the malig nity with which his name has been assailed, and for the pertinacity with which his gOvernment has been misrepresented. More particulary must this have been the case when it is remembered that the dis cussion, in which Lord PALMERSTON thus brilliantly and admirably participated, was completed soon afterwards by the rejection of the motion by a ma jority of 211. The remembrance of yesterday's debate in the Ho use ; of Commons will tend more over to sustain the Raja of SARAWAK hence forth in the midst of all the difficulties of his position, his past con d uct h av i ng t h ereby received the empbatic:comnaendation of the House of c o mmons and the eulogiunis of the greatest states.. man in her MAJESTY'S Governm en t. As a most ear nest expression of those feelings of profound i n di gnae tion with which the long-continued attacks upon Sir JAMES BROOKE are regarded by the nation at large, we refer with especial satisfaction to:the peroration of the speech delivered last evening by Lord PALm ERs . TON. After refuting with extraordinary terseness and facility th e charges directed against hi s Excell ency, the noble orator exclaimed with some warmth, " T - say, ,then, there is n o t hin g to in quire int o , un l ess it , hic p h ers l ev d e o rin n g o: wish to p ursue, from whence came btehatanuninrecimuiirttyinwg as to who c ou ld have been the source and m ali gn an t_[Her e t h e Noble Lord was inter rupted by loud c h eers, continuing as soon as they bad subsided]—l d o not refer toanything House, but I say t h at persecution of a n h onourable mete in this maligna n t and persevering Sir, I am con vinced that this H ouse will, by an overwhelming majority, Lot only negativ e th e motion of my Honourable Friend, but by so doing Proclaim to the world that Sir JAMES BROOKE retires from this investigation with untarnished character, with unblemished honour. And I am persuaded that he will continue to enjoy the estimation of his countrymen as a man, who, by braving every con tumely, and facing dangers under distant climates, and perils in unknown lands, has done more to pro mote the commercial interests of his country, and to dif fuse the light of civilization amongst a people who were before in the darkness of barbarism." A splendid pane gyric and one nobly merited, an eulogium reflecting honour upon the encomiast, as well as upon the sub ject of his approval. No wonder the plaudits were fervent which interrupted and closed those remarks of Lord PALMERSTON, remembering that the policy of Sir JAMES BROOKE was the subject under discussion, and that the auditors of the Foreign Secretary were the representatives of the English people. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCUEQUER has succeeded in obtaining one of those triumphs in which he especially rejoices, but which are calculated to do greater in jury to himself and party than the most decisive and inglorious defeats. Once more he has by a narrow mojority negatived the just and reasonable demands of the Scotch and Irish distillers, and continued a re gulation alike injurious to the producers and con sumers of home-made spirits for anuther session. Six times the House of Commons affirmed the propriety and sanctioned the principle of the measure brought forward by the Noble Lord the Member for Kildare, and yet our excellent Minister of Finance perseveres in his fac tious opposition, and offers obstructions at every stage of its progress. The will of the Legislature, so clearly and unequivocally expressed, is by him despised and set at nought. A single defeat, we should rather say surprise, occurring on the evening between the Derby and Oaks, when the great ma jority of the legislators were absent, was considered sufficient to induce the Government to advise their SOVEREIGN to disturb the postal arrangements of the country, and to introduce regulations that must ne cessarily be productive of the greatest inconvenience to all classes in society. The will of the House of Commons expressed on a division was the excuse, but the transparency of the humbug must now be ap parent, when we find the contemptuous disregard ex hibited by one of those Ministers for the result of no less than six divisions, and that he is supported by his colleagues in the extraordinary and, for a Cabinet Minister, unprecedented course he has thought proper to adopt. And what is the subject on which he has deemed it right to exhibit such perverse and mulish obstinacy ? Is it one that could by a possibility in jure any class of her MAJESTY'S subjects ; or that could unduly interfere with our foreign or colo nial trade? Is there any desire on the part of the applicants to revive the obsolete doctrines of protection, now advisedly repudiated by the House ? Far from it. They demand no favour or exclusive privilege ; they are the opponents of mo nopoly. All they ask is fair play, that the same al lowance should be given to the producer of the United Kingdom that is freely conceded to the foreign or colonial manufacturer. We have so frequently entered into the merits of the question that it is almost unnecessary to allude to any of the details, with which the reading end the thinking public must be familiar. It is sufficient . to say that the point of controversy is whether the Scotch and Irish dis tillers shall pay duty on the strength and quantity of spirit brought into actual consumption, and for which they receive payment, as is the case with the foreign and colonial producer, or whether they shall he compelled to pay on it as it issues from the worm's end, without any allow ance being made for the waste occasioned by leakage, soakage, or evaporation, which must necessarily occur if the spirit be kept a sufficient time to come to ma turity, and to get rid of the deleterious properties in separable from raw spirits of any description. It seems unnecessary to offer any serious argument on such a point, which carries conviction on the very face of it. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, speaks as if it were a boon to the distillers that the duty should be levied at the earliest moment. He drew a distinction between the Customs and Excise duties— that the principle as to the former was to levy them at the latest moment, because up to the latest moment there was no saying whether the article paid upon would or would not be exported ; whereas in the latter it was to levy them at the earliest moment, so that the duty once paid, the owner of the article might be freed from any further supervision or in terference on the part of the Excise. And is it to the British Parliament, the elected representatives of the British people, that such an argument is gravely put forward by a person holding a high and im portant office ? Has he the hardihood to assert that it is "fur the convenience (the convenience, forsooth!) of the producer" that the duty was so levied? If such were the case, why do we find the producers generally complaining of the hardship, and showing that it compels them to give an inferior article to the producer ? But the statement is also untrue. The privilege of bonding shows that the assertion is unfounded. That very privilege was conceded in consequence of the almost universal complaints preferred by the dis tillers, and it is absurd to assert that the regulation was established for their especial con venience, when they were obliged to obtain a mo dification of the stringent and obnoxious rule. And the fact that they are allowed to pay the duty, at a subsequent period, when the spirit is about to be brought into consumption, renders it a matter of course that the duty should only be paid on the quantity and quality brought into consumption. The reference to the solemn settlement of 1848 was another specimen of gross and palpable folly. How many of these solemn settlements have we had ? Was there not an equally solemn settlement in 1847, which was an alteration of the still more so lemn settlement of 1845, which in turn varied the numerous solemn settlements effected within the pre ceding twenty years ? And how was it a settle ment ? How were the distillers represented in 1848 ? Is it not notorious that they were taken by surprise, without being afforded an opportunity of producing any evidence or examining a single wit ness ? Away, then, with the farce of relying on such a settlement ; and even if it were what is alleged, it is unnecessary to say that no settlement could sanc tify such injustice as that to which the distillers of Ireland and Scotland are subjected. We copied a paragraph the other day from the Sherborne Journal, stating the Sherborne Mercury had be come extinct; whereas the fact turns out to be that the Mercury has only changed hands, and changed the place of publication to Yeovil instead of Sherborne. Now, this being the case, we wonder how another paper, from an unworthy spirit of rivalry, should have published such an erroneous (1) statement. Whatever difference of politics may exist, truth should at all times be held sacred, more especially among journalists, who profess to lead, and not mislead, public opinion.--[ED.

FREDERICK VERNON LOCK WOOD, CANON OF CANTERBURY.—It is impossible to describe the feelings of intense sorrow and regret for the loss of the Rev. Frederick Vernon Lockwood, son-in-law of the Bishop of Carlisle. All classes have manifested the deepest interest in this event, which has deprived the Church of one of her most useful members, and society of one of her greatest ornaments. It is to be most deeply lamented that he caught the infection which has terminated his labours, while visiting one of his parishioners afflicted with the small-pox. The Rev. Gentleman was appointed to the curacy of Starry the 22d April, 1826, and on the 7th March, 1827, was presented to the vicarage of Mersham by the late Archbishop of Can terbury, and ultimately to the chaplaincy of the House of Commons, and to a prebendal stall in Canterbury Cathedral. —Kentish Gazette. THE CIVIC ENTERTAINMENT.—The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor received a communication from Lord John Russell last evening, conveying her Majesty's most gracious approval of all the arrangements of the civic entertainment at Guildhall on Wednesday last, and announcing the fact that her Majesty had been pleased to confer upon his Lord ship the dignity of a baronet of the united Kingdom, in token of the Itoyal appreciation of the hospitality presided over by his Lordship.

The sales comprised 5,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham, at 5 1 ,4 d. to 7% d. ; 200 Bahia, at 6d. to 6 1 /cl.; 200 Egyptian at 6d. to 7 1 / 4 d. ; 300 Surat at 3d. to 4d. ; and 40 Sea Island at I Id. to Is. Id per lb. The market closed heavily with prices of American 1 4 3 c1. and Brazil, 1 / 4 d. per lb. lower.— Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. During the week the business done in the Colonial Pro duce Markets has been considerable, but there has been a full supply of most articles, and prices have ruled in favour of buyers. Sugar has been flatter, as the lower duties have come into operation, and have caused a large quantity of the article to be cleare d for consumption. Coffee has been dearer. Cotton has continued dull. Accounts from Belgium give the balance-sheet of the Na tional Bank. The total assets were 77,000,000 f. The Ac tive circulation was 31,000,000 f., the amount invested in public securities was 6,569,000 f., and the precious metals stood at 33,000,000 f. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 9th instant, was buoyant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 69. In Spanish Bonds there was some animation. Mexican were feebler. There is a firmer market for Public Securities, in the ab sence of dealings of any magnitude. Consols have been done at 96%, and are now 97 to %. Gradually the dividend money may be expected to come into the market. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98 1 A to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97% to 'h.

There is, however, scarcely anything doing in it. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 20 1 / 2 , and the Three per Cents. 39. Mexican Bonds have not been higher than 32N to %, but as the Bears have sold extensively for two or three accounts, and the price has fallen from 37, and further, as the dividend is about to be paid, there is no reason why Mexican Stock should not be somewhat nearer Spanish Threes. Every prediction about revolution and disquiet has hitherto been falsified, and the election of the new and able President, Herrera, has been brought about in a most satisfacto7 and constitutional manner. The bondholders are avowedly in a better position than ever, and have only to keep their agent, M. Fakonnet, in Mexico until the indemnity is paid, and to exert themselves in realising the other amounts due, to them. These things cannot be managed instanter, and a panic on such slight grounds should not shake the real holder. Peruvian Stock has been at 89 1 4, and iriet, Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are 100% without the dividends, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 59% to %. Railway Shares are dull this morning, and not better in price, if we except Boulogne and Amiens, which have risen upon the agreement with the Northern of France. QUAJ.ITER TO THREE.

MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY•) CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.) The present week's arrival of English Wheat up to our market coastwise has been on the increase, it having amounted to 1,830 quarters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. The receipts of that grain fresh up this morning by land carriage were limited, and the show of samples of both red and white was very moderate. Se lected qualities changed hands, at prices equal to those obtained on Monday last. In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was transacted, at late rates. For shipment from the East coast next to no thing was doing. Rather a large quantity of foreign Wheat, 17,260 quarters, has come iu. As the supply was on the increase, the trade was in a very inactive state, and last week's quotations were with difficulty sup ported. The quantity of foreign Barley brought forward was seasonably large, and for which the demand was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. We had a mo derate inquiry for Malt, at late figures. Very few home-grown Oats were on sale, but the supply exceeded 46,000 quarters. The trade was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in value of 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn very dull. A Lair business was done in Flour, at late figures. 3,590 barrels have arrived from the United States, and 2,020 sacks from France. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) ARSON.—James Huggins, aged 37, desci i bed as an attorney, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the dwelling-house of William Strong, he and another person then being therein. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prose- ' cution, and Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Huddleston, defended the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON opened the case to the jury, and stated that the witnesses which he should cab would show that the prisoner had wilfully and maliciously set fire to the premises in question, either for the purpose of injuring the parties re siding in them, or of defrauding the various insurance com panies who had insured the property. The premises, which were in a very dilapidated condition, were situated in Lime.street, end they came into the possession of the pri soner about a short time ago. He t hen effected insurances in the Phoenix, the Atlas, and the Guardian offices for a very la'ge amount, the premises being also insured in another office by the freeholder; and it was alleged the prisoner attempted to fire the premises, part of which was used as a coffee• shop. for the purpose of defrauding these companies. The fire broke out on the 31st of May, but an alarm was speedily given, and be'ore it had time to make any progress the fire brigade arrived and got it under. A minute ex amination of the premises then took place, and it was found that a quantity of cotton saturated with camphine had been designedly placed in one of the cellars, and con nected with a wax-candle which was fixed in an iron tube immediately communicating with the wood-work of the flooring over the cellar. This discovery gave rise to a suspicion of foul play, and a searching inquiry was insti tuted into the whole matter. It then transpired that on the previous 21st of March the prisoner came to the pre mises, and saw Mrs. Strong, one of the tenants, from whom he borrowed a candle, and descended into the cellar where the fire originated. There he remained for upwards of an hour, and on his return to Mrs. Strong's apartment he was covered all over with dust, as though he had been working like a bricklayer, and Mrs. Strong brought him a basin of water to wash himself. This circumstance induced a belief that the prisoner had been concerned in the fire, and this suspicion was strengthened by a further discovery that the iron piping found in the cellar was made by a neighbouring tradesman to the prisoner's order. On the day previous to the fire breaking out the prisoner was upon the premises. He brought with him a parcel and obtained access into the cellar, not asibetore through Mrs. Strong's room, but by an office adjoining, in the occupation of an architect. This latter fact was thought conclusive, and it was at once determined to arrest the prisoner on this charge of arson. The Learned Gentleman then related the circumstances at tending the apprehension of the prisoner, and afterwards proceeded to call the following witnesses. Mr. John Daniels, clerk to a solicitor, produced the agree ment under which the prisoner held a lease of the premises and a policy of insurance effected in the Atlas for 1,0001. Mr. Wyatt, a clerk in the Atlas-office, proved that the policy had been effected. Mr. Edward James Russell, agent for the Phoenix-office, proved that the prisoner effected his insurance in that office for 3001. Mr. Isaac Kilda!, clerk in the Guardian-office, gave similar evidence in reference to an insurance effected in that office fur 1,5001. Mr. Heniker, surveyor, had had his attention called to the premises in question ; and he should say their value fur old building materials would be about 501. The model of the premises produced had been prepared under his direction, on a scale of an inch to a foot James Bradley, one of the fire-brigade stated, that about ten minutes past eleven o'clock, on the night of the 31st of May, he was called to the premises in Lime-street, which he found full of smoke. He entered by the coffee-shop, and saw tire escaping through a trapsdsor. He and others got some water and put the fire out. He then went down into the cellar. There was a strong smell of turpentine or camphine, but it did not deter him from pursuing his search, and ulti mately he found the block and iron piping produced. It was directly under the steps comwunica ing with the cellar, and was within a few inches of the rafters or wood work of the upper floo ing. He also found two iron trays, containing a quantity of burnt cotton. They were placed under the steps between the floor and the joisting, and directly over the iron piping. The trays smelt strongly of camphine. He also found a piece of wax cantle and a glass bottle, in a hole which had been cut through the wall. The woodwork of the cellar was very much burnt. The hole in the wall appeared to have been made so as to communicate with the next cel lar, and let in a draught. Had his attention not been called to the lire at the moment it was, the house would have been all down in ten minutes. Mr. A. S. Jones, as ironmonger, stated that he knew the prisoner. On the 13d of April the prisoner called upon him and gave an order for a piece of pipe. He brought a rough sketch of the piping he required, and it was made for him. The prisoner called for it himself and took it away with him. A few days following he called again and purchased a gimlet, similar to the one produced as having been found in the cellar. Witness had no conversation with the prisoner about the piping, but he asked him what he wanted it for, and he replied "'chat it did not matter at all." Witness had known him for two or three years, and never observed any want of intelligence in him. William Kemp, a carpenter and turner, stated that he knew the prisoner and had worked for him. About the lst of May last the prisoner called upon him and said he wanted a wooden block made hollow in the centre so as to fit a piece of iron piping, which he brought with him. Na itness made the block and left it fur the prisoner at his residence in Loughborough-park. The block produced and found in the cellar was the same. The police came to witness after the fire and questioned him about the block. He went to the prisoner and told him of their visit, and the p isoner said " Fur God sake, Kemp, don't say a word about it; it will be my ruin." James Daker, plumber and painter, stated that about twelve months ago he painted the prisoner's cottage in Loughborough-park, when he saw two iron trays similar to those produced and found in the cellar. George Wood, another plumber, stated that he knew the premises in Lime-street, and in October last, by direction of the prisoner, he dug a hole in the cellar to test the foundation. Elizabeth Strong deposed as follows :—I reside at the house in Lime-street, and was there on the night of the fire. Some short time before I went there a company carried on its business called the Colonization Insurance Company, of which the prisoner was a director, but in November last the company removed to King William-street. One of the rooms was then taken by a Mr. Taylor, and all the furniture on the premises was placed in it. On the 21st of March the prisoner came to me and borrowed a candle. About an hour and a half afterwards I saw him again, and his clothes were dirty and covered with white mortar. I gave him some water to wash himself in. I went down in the cellar and saw a hole had been made in the wall which was not there before. On the day of the fire I saw the prisoner in the house. It was about half-past two in the afternoon. He was on the first floor, and he asked for the key of Mr. Taylor's room. I unlocked the door and went into the room with him. I left him there going down some steps leading towards the cellar, and about an hour afterwards he brought nee the key again. In the evening 1 went out with my husband, and on our return we smelt something burning, but ou making search we found nothing, and we went to supper. I afterwards went up-stairs, and finding the room full of smoke I gave the M alarm,ond Monday y Ile said following aidthefire was dicovered in th e cellar. O n the sawt wasa I the sad prisoner affair, a andhis office ce h in ad C t o p o t h ideaa l I - court. how it happened." I asked him if he had any notion of who did it, and he said he heel not. I said some one must have done it, and it would have been better to have murdered us Some in bed th an t o se t fi re to ue.ome people then ca me i n, and I went away.

Mr. Thomas Taylor, an architect and su rveyor, stated t h at he occupied o ffices on the premises in question. The pri soner told him that the premises were to be pulled down, and directed him to make plans for a new building. Witness re membered the fire. He was at the office the day before, and the prisoner came in about hal -past five o'clock with a carpet bag and a large brown paper parcel. The prisoner left his room by a staircase leading to the cellar, taking with him the bag an d parceL Witness offered to assist him down, but he courteously declined the offer, and said he was going to put the bag and parcel with sonic things down-stairs. Wit ness asked him if he had a picture in the parcel, but he made no reply. He left about half an hour afterwards. There were some plans on the premises belonging to the prisoner worth between 801. and 901. The prisoner rolled those plans up before the lire, and had them taken away. The only other property the prisoner had on , 1 the premises were some chairs and a table. Cross-examined—A Mr. Falkard occupied a room on the premises, but he got notice to quit, and it was arranged that he should leave the day before the fire. lie did not, how ever, leave until the Monday after. Re-examined—The last time witness saw Falkard was on the Friday. William Edmonds, a City police-constable, stated that he examined the premises after the fire, but found nothing upon them, OA the 9th of June 3/itnese yeent to the pzigottei'D le. smxTurizzn. Our market to-day was supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was inferior. Ai though the attendance of both town and country buyers was limited, the Beef trade ruled steady, and a fair clearance was effected at Monday's quotations. The number of Sheep being on the increase, and large, even the time of year considered, the demand for that de scription of stock was less active, at barely stationary prices—the extreme figure for the best old Downs being 4s per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was good— moved off slowly, but we have no decline to notice in their value. We had a very slow sale for Calves, at barely the late improvement in value.

Plantation sidence, takinglwith him the wood and pipe produced, ind saw the prisoner. Witness told him that ha was a City police-constable, and asked him if he had heard of the fire? He said yes, and asked if Mr. Marsden was witness's in. epector? Witness said he was; and the prisoner said be bad had a conversation with him about the fire. Witness then produced the pipe, and asked him if he could give any an° count of it? He said he would answer no questions, as he had been told that Mrs. Strong, and others, had been saying that he was a suspected party; and witness took him into custody. On the following day he went to his house agog , and found two camphine tins, and also a piece of wax candle resembling that found in the cellar. The case was proceeding when our report left. SPORTIN G NOTES. No. LXXXII. ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING LIVERPOOL ILSLEY, AND NOTTINGHAM MEETINGS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR,— • he straw-coloured jacket is once more v ictorione in a race of note; Lord Clitden's Strongbow having carried it triumphantly past the post an easy winner by a couple of lengths for the Liverpool Cup. It is nearly three years since his Lordship won a great race, and then with Surplice he swept the two great events of the year, the Derby and St. Leger. Strongbow won the Cup uncommonly easy, not a horse in the race baying a chance with him ; I remarked of him in note No. 77, that " the five y e ar old Strongbow, at 7st '2lb, must possess a respectable chants this time at such a weight as the handicapper has allotted to him ' • the only fear I entel tain with respect to him i s that h& will find the distance a little , 4 60 far; he, however, will be one of the first four." The cracks (Officious and Russborough) were, beaten somewhat easily by die Abbess of Jerv e a u x WindiscligrAtz, who were second and third; Officious fourth, Russborough fifth, with the Marciais and Colsterdale next; the pace was good all the way. Strongbow afterwards woa the Derby Handicap. giving Chief Justice 181bs. for the year , and a good beating into the bargain. My remarks in note No. 80, concerning the victory of the non•favourite for the Foal Stakes were realized to the letter, I observed that Pandemus "may just pull through, but it will be as much ash! can accomplish by straining every nerve." He Wol from the third of May with some difficulty h:f half a length. During the ensuing week five meetinf'S will claim the attention of the sporting world, two of whit.qt it is my present intention to glance at. Ilsley on Wednesdat sports a couple of Stakes worth noticing. The Berkshire Stakes, I understand, is a booked certainty for something or other, which I fancy will turn out to be Fugleman at Bet 71b, or Brington at 6st 91b; the latter for choice. The Ilslel Stakes will produce a pretty race with three, which may ter.. minate in the victory of Bri , annia or Lady Bkriche, with Leybourne iu the third position; the remainder of the entry I have no fancy for. In consequence of " a move" being afl at connected with the Nottinghamshire Handicap, I shill: postpone my opinion on the Nottingham races until to., morrow or Monday. .1 am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

THE GRAND SCOTTISH BALL AT THE GUILDHALL* —Yesterday the committee of management of the grand Highland ball, to be given on the 23d inst. in Guildhall, in aid of the institutions of the Scottish Hospital and the Cale donian Asylum, assembled at the Scotch Hall, in Crane court, Fleet-street; Lord James Stuart, M.P., in the chair. amongst those present, Sir Duncan MoUougall, Mr. George There were, m o natt, M.P., Mr. J o h n B ay l ey, M r. D av id Dewar, Mr. W. G. Barnes, Mr. Thomas M'Gregor, Mr. A- Maclure, Par. J. T. Norris, &c. The committee expressed a firm belief that the approaching ball in aid of the two great institutions would exceed all former entertainments of the k i nd i n E legance and variety, and agreed to certain regula tions which are to be expressed in the advertisements, one Of them being that the number to be admitted should not exceed 2,000. Several of the members, in speaking of the royal ball, declared that the only thing which caused any regret on that remarkable occasion was the crowded state of the building. A fact which would serve as a lesson to the promoters of that which is to follow, and which is intended to be upon a similar scale of magnificence. Without being in the slightest degree disposed to detract from or underrate the ball which was to take pace for the benefit of the ward schools, the committee said tke interests of the charities were not at all likely to come in collision ' as the latter charity would be supplied from the parti cu l ar localities in which the objects were placed , and the tickets would be distributed at a cheaper rate, Mr. PdotLitt gave an animated description of the crowded state of the Guildhall on Wednesday, and upon his motion, seconded by Mr. N orris, the issue of tickets was limited to the num bers above stated. The committee separated, after having received the the warmly expressed consent of the Queen and Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent to patronise the bag on the 23d inst. IRON MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS.—I3I3 - 31INGHAM, THURSDAY. - The first meeting of ironmasters for the quarter was held at Walsall on Tuesday, at Wolver hampton yesterday, and in Birmingham to-day. The attend ance was not so numerous as on former occasions, and the proceedings in the Town-hall were altogether extremely lan guid and inanimate. The resolution adopted at the prelimi nary meeting held at Stewponey a fortnight aco was cot?' firmed by the great firms, and prices accordingly remain nominally unaltered. It may be stated, however, that maul sales, as anticipated, were made by parties who do not con sider themselves bound by the resolutions passed at the meetings of the trade, at Prices lower than those settled at Stewponey. The iron trade is confessedly greatly depressed , and considerat , le difficulty is experienced in maintaining ex istit.g quotations. MARRIED. On the Bth inst., at t.
