INVESTIGATION BEFORE THE CORONER. Yesterday, at noon, a jury of the inhabitants of the ward of Cripplegate Within were empanelled before Mr. W. Payne, the City Coroner, at the school-house, Philip-lane, Alderman bury, to inquire into the cause of the late fire on the premises of Nlessrs. Bradbury and Co., Manchester-warehousemen, of Aldermanbury. The investigation, from its novelty, excited considerable in'erest, several of the Common Council of the ward, together with the Civic authorities, being present. The CORONER, on taking his seat, said he would take the liberty of stating, as the present was rather a novel pro ceeding, why he had called them together. Latterly the number of tires in London had considerably increased, and when they took into consideration that nothing was so fear ful as fire, they would be of opinion with him that when they !sad the power to inquire into th' causes of such fires, nothing could be more important to the public at large than that the cause should be closely investigated. The ancient authorities showed that in olden times it was the practice of the coroner to inquire into all burnings within his district, and that power still belonging to the coroner, although fallen into dinuetude, he thought they would be of opinion with him that it was most important that it should again be brought into force. In " Horne's Mirror of Justice " the duties of the coroner were clearly laid down. and among those ditties the coroner was to inquire of all burnings, whether they were calm dby felony or mischance. If they were of opinion that they had been set on Bre with a felonious intent, then it was their duty to inquire and ascertain who the party was who was guilty of that felony. It was clear, therefore, in the olden time, that part of the coroner's duty was to • inquire into all burnings ; and he need not say how necessary it was to revive it at the present time. No one had the power to inquire into the cause of a fire—not even amagistrate, unless a party was in cus'ody charged with causing it. The persons living in the neighbourhood of a fire were always most anxious to know how it occurred, and he thought the public would think that he had done no more than his duty in causing a jury to he summound to inquire into the circum stances of the late fire, who also might, by any suggestion thrown out, prevent, in a great measure, fires being so nume• roux. He had directed a number of persons to be summoned to give evidence as to the cause of the recent fire in Alderman bury, so that they might come to a proper verdict, whether it was sieved by accident or otherwise. As everything connected with this novel and most important proceeding must be of interest, the following is the form of oath administered to the jury You shall well and truly in quire, on behalf of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, how a certain house and premises, in Aldermanbury, were lately burned, and a true verdict give according to the evidence ; so help you God." Asher Cousins, a packer in the service of Messrs. Bradbury, Grea ores, and Beall, proved discovering the fire, about twenty minutes before eight o'clock on Monday night, in the cellar under the packing-room. The smoke was coming up through an iron grating; and on his going into the cellar, which was usvd for keeping boxes and papers in, he saw a pile of paper on tire. He tried to put the fire out, but was unable. No obe was in the cellar when he went down. The witness at great length explained the relative positions of various gas lights on the premises ; and stated that it was usual to light them by means of wax tapers, and not paper. Several witnesses, employed by the firm, whose evidence went to show that th e fi re or i g i nate d b eneat h the grating in the packing room, and immediately underneath a gas-light in , that room, but no one could tell who lit that gas-light en the evening of the fire, having been examined, Mr. Braidwooa said, having heard the evidence, he was of opinion that the fire originated from a light dropping through the grating amongst the paper in the cellar. Mr. Beall, one of the partners, said he recollected that about half an hour be'ore the fire occurred, he lit one of the gas lights with a piece of paper, which he threw upon the floor and planed his foot upon. After a most patient investigation into all the circumstances of the case, the jury returned a verdict " That the fire was caused by accident." The jury returned a vote of thanks to Mr. Braidwood and the men under his direction, for their laudable exertions on the night of the fire in stopping the progress of the flames. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF NOR MANDY. —Several of the papers have announced the death in Holland, on the 10th inst., of the person called the Duc de Normandie, and who pretended to be the Dauphin, son of Louis the Sixteenth.' 11 , 1.

To those who will not be at the trouble of reading the report of this judgment, the decision of his Honour may appear somewhat harsh. We confess, with pain, that we think it a most righteous and salutary decision. Without the slightest desire to bear hardly upon the unfortunate individual, who has been thus re fused an indulgence which the law rarely withholds from parties in his situation, we must say that Mr. GIBBS is but one representative of a class of bill and money dealers, the whole of whom it would he well for the in terests of society to see removed and absolutely shut out from any further pursuit of their calling. What can be expected by the victims who advance moneys for profitable investment to the custody or employment of a man vi ho raises other moneys for his own us'-, at the enormous and most avaricious rate of 40, 50, and 60 per cent. interest ? Mr. Commissioner lioLaoitip declined to enter into the consideration of the question, whether, in these days, when bankers and brokers are as plentiful as blackberries, there be a necessity for permitting the business of a scrivener (the ancient substitute for both the one and the other) to be any longer carried on. We are sorry that his Honour did not go into this question. If the "no necessity," which his observation thus glanced at, were once made out, on such authority, to the sati►faction of the Legislature, we should not have another session of Parliament pass by, without getting rid of a whole colony of legal vultures, who, at present, less honest or more prudent than Mr. GIBBS, raise fortunes for themselves on the ruined fortunes of other men—their clients or their customers. Every hour in the dgy one may see men reclining at their ease in their carriages, with unabashed and insolent effrontery, who have stepped into them only by means of the basest chicanery, and the most profligate turpitude which cunning bad men can commit, within the safe limits of the law. Every day the public journals teem with re ports of cases, in which improvident young men, the absolute possessors of property, or entitled to it in re version or expectancy, are found to be irretrievably ruined by their unhappy connexions with diseountilg attorneys, or " accommodating" money brokers' agents. The exigencies of the moment, relieved by consenting to enormous and utterly unwarrantable sacrifices, is conti nued by a series of " accommodations" (as they are termed in bitter irony), extended through some months, or one, two, three years, as the case may be, but surely terminating in the permanent ruin of the deluded bor rower. He is tempted by the offers of a " discount"— he is played with, and his business is delayed until that which was but an inconvenience, more or less grave, be comes an inexorable necessity. In proportion as his wants assume this formidable and imperative shape, the cost of relief, the amount of the sacrifices to be made, • are carefully and cruelly enhanced. Thus he is led on ; till a knife may be said to be at last put into his hand wherewith he is compelled to cut the throat of his own ' fortunes, absolute or contingent, and not for his own re lief after all, but for the benefit of the callous usurers who have brought him to this moral suicide. Look at the case of the creditor of GIBBS, resident at Ostend. Whether designedly or inadvertently, we know not—but actually, it is evident, one of Mr. Ginns's most unfortunate victims—his embarrassments have been extended, his anxieties accumulated, the penalties of his misfortunes trebled and quadrupled by a species of tor ment greater and more exquisite (we hope for the honour of the old Greek " Onyth ") than any . which TANTALUS himself experienced. Forced to live out of his native country—constantly applying to GIBBS for more prompt and for larger remittances—amused by the scrivener with driblets only, doled out from time to time, to keep him quiet and prevent his importunate harking—this unfortunate man appears to have been compelled to play the part of a useful but unrewarded puppet in GIBBS'S bands. Then he makes applications to limns, under GIBBS'S instructions, for advances of money, which money GIBBS obtains from third parties on the strength and exhibition of those applications: bills are drawn to carry out the appearances needful to give a genuine character to the scrivener's proceedings. Bi Is are discounted in one batch to the tune of 5,0004 The proceeds (4,800 b and upwards) are actually re mitted to the Ostend victim, and he is obliged to go through the tragic farce of returning them, sub rosa, to GIBBS, on receiving another similar remittance from that party, SQ as to withdraw the bank-notes trans mitted for the first transaction, those of the second being submitted to a similar course of operations, and then—converted into gold; the poor gentleman at Ostend all the while deriving precisely as little benefit from this evidence of the convertibility of the bank paper into bullion on demand, as this country has ex perienced from Sir ROBERT PEEL'S convertibility nos trum in the working of its currency system—•that is, he gains a loss. We earnestly hope that this remarkable judgment will be extensively perused and studied. We know of no more disorganising and demoralising influence, affecting the peace and welfare of society in this country, than the practices of these money-lending and bill discount ing attorneys of whom we speak. Letters from Tripoli state that if the Ottoman Govern ment had ever entertained any idea of an expedition against Tunis, it had now finally abandoned it. Two French ships of war still remained at Tripoli. Madrid papers of the 14th and 15th have been received. In answer to an address from the Commissioners of the Mercantile Society of Madrid, praying for a modifi cation of the the tariff, the Minister of Finance stated that it was his intention during the ensuing session to present a project of law on the tariff to the Cortes. The QUEEN and her Mother left St. Sebastian for Mondragon on the 16th. The Infante Luise remained at St. Sebastian. General CAMINERO had orders to remove to Almeira He,aldo mentions that several merchants and shop keepers called at its office, and stated that if the Minister of Finance did not yield to their complaints, or make some modification in the new law of taxation, they would close their establishment. It disapproves of the measure contemplated by them, and advises them to lay their case before the Cortes as soon as they meet, and in the mean time make every effort with the Minister. General O'DONNELL refuses to give to the English Commissioners at the Havannah a house for the use of the freed negroes. Ile maintains, that it is to the Mixed Commission, and not to the English portion of it, that the house is to be given, instead of the old three decker. According to the Ticmpo, Don N. PRATS, the uncle of General fart, had bet n arrested. Great dissatifaction is expressed in all the papers at the arbitrary conduct of NARVAEZ. With one excep tion, the whole press is against the NARVAEZ Ministry, ar.d it is thought probable by the well-informed that some modification of its composition is at hand. The 15th, being the feast of Assumption, was kept as a holiday at the Bourse. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. They contain intelligence from Leipsic to the 16th, up to which day everything had continued quiet there. There is, in fact, owing to the precautions adopted by the municipal authorities, but little probability that the tranquillity of the city will again be interrupted. The Municipal Council has published a proclamation, recom mending the communal guard and students to continue acting together in maintaining tranquillity, inasmuch as it is highly important that the news of the restoration of order should reach foreign countries quickly, in order that the interests of the fair of St. Michel should not be compromised. A statement appears in the Cuurrier du Havre to the effect that Queen VICTORIA would visit King Louis PHILIPPE at Eu, on her way back to England from Germany. A tremendous hurricane raged on Tuesday, which did great damage at Paris and at Rouen. It is stated that at Rouen 200 persons had been killed or wounded by the blowing down of a large factory.

THE BONE -CRUSHING CASE AT ANDOVER.--It IS a curious circumstance that, on account of the late exposure at Andover, the price of bones has fallen from 3s. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per cwt. in Winchester, and several other towns. The chief source of supply to the former has been sent from Winchester, and on Tuesday last a contractor sent over twenty-two cwt. to the workhouse, the purchase of which was, however, declined, with an intimation that no more would be received. It may be observed that the workhouse at Andover was chiefly supplied with bones front Winchester, and that these being principally from the barracks, are what are called " barrack 3 ones," and that, in consequence of the quantity of marrow, fat, gristle, &c„ which they contain, they are esteemed of much greater value than common bones. Sometimes they are sent over fresh, but at other times in quite a raecid state. The parish of Andover used to purchase the bones at 3s. 6d. per cwt., and after they had been broken by the paupers into " chump bones" they were disposed of for agricultural purposes the parish receiving the profits. The practi ce o f bone-crush ing bay been discon tinued at the Winchester union poor-house. THE SUN, •LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1845. MARKET NE WS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE -FRIDAY. Since Saturday.last the arrivals of English Wheat for our market coastwise. as well as by land-carriage and sample, have been on a somewhat extensive scale for the time of year —they having amounted to nearly 10.000 quarters. Fresh up to day, only a moderate quantity of that description of grain came to hand, yet the number of samples on offer was large. From nearly all parts of the country, our reports, respect ing the prog ress o f harvest work, are more favourable, owing to which, and the settled appearance of the weather, to day, there was little or no disposition evinced' to purchase hence, the demand was in a sluggish state ; yet the factors would not sell, except at prices equal to those paid on Monday, and a clearance was not effected. There was no New Wheat on sale, but several parcels are expected from Essex on Monday next. The imports of Foreign Wheat have be en on l y mo d erate, v i z , 10,610 quar ters ; but several vessels are reported to have passe t the Sound, grain-laden, for England. Although the quantity brought forward was not to say large, the millers purchased with extreme caution, and we have no alteration to notice in value. The duty declined yesterday to 18s. per quarter. In Corn, under lock, scarcely any sales took place, the spe culators refusing to conclude transactions during the pre sent uncertain state of things. Several large parcels of fo reign Barley have been lately released for home consumption. Scarcely any English Barley Was on show, butlhat of Foreign was somewhat on the increase. For nearly every kind, especially for grinding parcels, the sale was steady, and pre vious rates were readily supported. The receipts of Malt are rather on the increase, upwards of 4,000 quarters having been received this week. We had a fair retail demand for fine season -made at fully late prices ; other kinds were quite as dear. From Ireland, as well as from foreign ports, rather a large quantity of Oats has reached us this week. This had a depressing influence upon the trade, and prices were barely supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour were a slow inquiry, at late rates. The parcels of New Seeds on show were deficient in quality; hence higher rates wer e d eman d e d f or se l ect qua . lities. In Old Seeds next to nothing was doing. ARRIVALS. Barley. 70 ((re. 1,C20 I 1,350 Malt. 4,180 qrs. smxTurxmx.D. The supply of Beasts was, the time of year considered, moderately extensive, though the quality was by no means first rate. Generally speaking, the Beef trade was exceed ingly heavy, at, ha some instances, a slight depression in the quotations. From Holland we received 40 Oxen and Cows; and from Scotland 240 Scots in good condition. The num bers of Sheep were by no means large, yet the sale for them was heavy, and the inferior kinds declined 2d. per Bibs. Lambs were a mere drug, on easier terms. The Veal trade was heavy, at a decline of 2d per 81bs. Pigs moved off freely, at full prices. Milch Cows sold at from 161 to 191 each, including their small Calf.

Privately the transactions have been extensive, and at auction U 5 hhds. Barbadoes sold at 545. for fine yellow, 525. to 535. for mid., and 48s. to 495. for low. 191 hlids. Trinidad sold at 50s. for mid greyish. The general value of brown sorts is 445. to 475., and of yellow 475. to 58s. per cwt. EAST INDlA.—Mauritius is scarcer, and at very full prices find ready buyers privately. brown is 40s. to 465., yellow 475. to 575. per cwt. Bengal also is dearer, 2,434 bags at auction went at 475. to 50s. 6d. for low yellow date kinds, at 525. for mid, and at 51s. 6d. for mid. sound greyish.

COFFEE.—British Plantation descriptions have been at full rates, but there has not been much doing. Jamaica has been sold at 37s to 82s and 120 s for ord to fine. Ceylon is in improved request, and still creeps up. Privately, Plantation descriptions have been sold at 60s to 965, and at auction fine ord and mid greyish have realised 63s to 80s, and good ord pale 48s to 48s 6d per cwt. About 6,000 bags Padang have been offered publicly, and sold well, good ord greenish mixed at 28s to 28s 6d, and good ord brown at 28s fid to 29s per cwt.

'There were 1,000 bags low good Oil St. Domingo sold at 335, and 173 bags La Guayra were mostly taken in at 72s for good mid, and 40s for brown. Rio has been sold at 30s to 32s for ord, and at 54s for middling ccdoury. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bags, including 1,000 on speculation, and 500 for export, with a steady market.—There was a dull market for Shares, and prices were lower. It appears by the private accounts from Brazil, that the increased duties upon British manufactures are not at all likely to be levied, for the Chambers had absolutely rejected the proposition, and there is a prospect of matters being even now accommodated between us, provided our Cabinet should not prove so entirely blind to the interests of this country as to reject the overtures made to it by the Govern ment at Rio. The state of the trade between both countries is not by any means brisk just now. The Funds have been rather firmer, and as far as the weather is concerned, there seems no longer to be any appre hension, so potent is the influence of sunshine. Consols have realised 991 y to 99 1 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 102% 3 / 4 , the Three per Cents. 99 3 / 4 to Bank Stock is worth 211 to 211 1 ,, and South Sea Stock, 112. Exchequer-bills have touched 50s. to 525. premium. Nothing but the effect of the sales making by the Accountant-General in Chancery prevents a rise in prices. ' The Foreign Investments have been somewhat livelier. Spanish Three per Cents. are steady at 384 ; and the Five Cents. at about 27 1 /e. Mexican Bonds bring 35 to 351 . Colombian realise 17% 3 / 4 . Brazilian are 90 ; and Peruvian 33 to 39 t,2, Dutch Four per Cents. arc 10014 %. Shares are better as respects nearly all the railways. The old lines have improved as much as the Scrips, and this is decidedly the most buoyant day of the week. The French lines have also been better. CLOSINI. FRICES ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

The minutes of the last court were read and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that it had been made special for the above purpose. (LEFT SPEAKING) NAVAL STORES.—A new form of bond has been instituted and approved, to be entered into by parties re moving goods and merchandise of various kinds from the bonding warehouses of the docks to her Majesty's ships of war, for the use of the officers, as their stores. The form of bond, after mentioning that a party is bound by a certain sum, to be specified, to her Majesty, her heirs, &c., sets forth that he is the proprietor of the goods, &c., subsequently mentioned, and which are lodged and deposited in a ware house or warehouses in the port of London, under the regula lations of an Act passed in the 3(1 and 4th years of Wm. IV., entitled, " An Act for the Warehousing of Goods," and that the said party intends to remove and convey the said articles from the warehouses mentioned, and to put the same on board a certain ship, being one of her Majesty's ships of war, for the use of certain of the officers of such ship, sub ject to the rules, regulations, and restrictions in that be 'half by law provided, and pronounces the condition of this bond or obligation to be such, that if the said goods, stores, and merchandise, and every part thereof, shall be duly deli vered, without alteration or diminution, on board her Majesty's ship of war, the name of the ship and the part at which she is lying being distinctly stated, and if a certificate, signed by the proper officer or purser of the ship, shall be produced within fourteen days from the date thereof to the collector and comp troller of customs, certifying that the said goods have been de livered into the custody of the proper officers on board the ship, then the bond or obligation is to be void, otherwise to remain in full force, vigour, and effect. It is understood that this form of bond simply applies to contracts for the supply of stores for the use of her Majesty's ships of war from the bond ing warehouses of the docks, for the use of the officers of such ships when in commission or otherwise, and not in respect of goods quarterly contracted for, and supplied to her Majesty's victualling yard at Deptford, for the general use of the naval department. FATAL. CHAISE ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the body of Wm. Staines, aged 43, a carver and gilder, of Charles street, Hoxton. On Monday night last, between nine and ten o'clock, a gentleman named Coburn was driving a four-wheeled chaise, drawn by one horse, ace mpauied by Mr. Pryor, a surgeon, through Pitfield-street, Hoxton, on their road from Edmonton, when the horse, which was given to shying, took fright at something in the road, and before Mr. Coburn could pull him up, the chaise came in contact with a cab, by which Mr. Coburn and his friend were thrown out, and the horse, which had broken away from the chaise, ran against the deceased, who was passing along the pavement, and threw him violently to the ground, and fractured several of his ribs. He was removed to the above hospital, in which he expired the same night, from injury to the lungs, caused by the accident. Verdict, " Accidental death," with a deodand of 151. upon the horse. CRICKET.—THE GENTLEMEN or SURREY V. THE PLAYERS or SURREY.—Many years have passed away since Surrey, as a county in its own district, has been heard of ; indeed, the only occasion when it has been brouv,ht into the field of late was last season at Lord's v. the hlarylebone Club. But then it was not Surrey alone. The present match, there fore, has been got up as the first step towards the foundation of a Surrey club. The gentlemen, yesterday, when they had a.sembled on the new ground, Kennington-oval, found that they were unexpectedly short of two or three members of their eleven, in consequence of the compulsory absence of Mr. Pon- Forihy and Mr. Randolph. The numbers were consequently made up by as many members of the Montpelier Club, which meets at this ground. The match was commenced by the Gentlemen. The score was as follows when the stumps were drawn for the day :—The Gentlemen, 127; the Players, 16. SHOCKING MURDIIKS AT VIENNA.—A lette r from the capital of Austria, dated August 9, says :—" Two exe crable crimes have, within this last fortnight, been committed in this city and the environs. Two days ago a couple of hussars, attracted by the seeming wealth of an old Jew, waylaid him on the high-road, and strangled him; but found their booty to amount only to the paltry sum of 31 florins (about 31. ) The next morning the booty was found, and suspicion falling on the two hussars, they were arrested. On the same day a journeyman watchmaker was taken for the murder of an old man, a septuagenarian. It seems the old man was in the habit of wearing some articles of jewellery, of slight value, but suffi cient to attract the cupidity of the murderer, who found means to introduce himself into the room occupied by the old man, killed him, and, seizing some objects of value, endeavoured to effect his escape. The cries of the deceased had, however, been heard by a woman dwelling in the same house, whogave the alarm, and the police arriving, the murderer was seized almost on the threshold of the room of his victim."— Consti tutionnel. A cemetery is about to t.e - formed at Dudley, in Wolverhampton-street, Worcester. The ground, comprising part of the ields and gardens between there and the Castle bounds, in extent about ten acres, with a frontage of 100 yards to the main street, is given by Lord Ward. EXETER.—.Native silver ore, of a very rich qua lity, has recently been discovered in the East Coombe Silver and Lead Mine, in the parish of Stembridge, in this county ; and the pro , pects generally are very fl at tor ng.— §lterburne Journal. :~` FLANDERS MAIL. I BRUSSELS, A tro. 19 —The average price of wheat in the week ending on the 16th of August was 21f. 98c.; and that of Rye 141. 7c. per hectolitre. Wheat continues to be tree from import duty, and Rye is to be free from the 25th of this month. The exportation of both is still allowed, on the payment of 25c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The Archduke Frederick of Austria is expected at Brussels, coming from Vienna, and last from Stotzenfels. This morning some of the royal carriages have gone to the railway station, to take his Imperial Highness to the Hotel de Bellevue, where apartments are bespoke for him. William 11., Elector of Hesse Cassel, and the Princess (Countess Emily de Berchenhach Leponitz) arrived the day before yesterday at the Hotel de Bellevue, from Germany. Prince and Princess Frederick William, co-Regent of Hesse ' Cassel (son of William 11. ), arrived, travelling incognito, and Count and Countess of Schaumburg arrived at the Hotel de Bellevue yesterday, from the Baths of Schweningen, and set out almost immediately for Germany. From information which has been collected from a great number of farmers in the environs of Brussels, it appears, that hitherto the wheat has suffered very little, or not at all ; that the crop promises to be as abundant as can be desired ; that in most places the potato plants are beginning to recover; and last, that the produce of this vegetable will be satisfactory though not abundant. Many other farmers, who are inter. ested in exciting alarm, protest against this opinion, which, however, is more and more confirmed every day ; viz., that i the harvest of 1845 is inferior to that of last year, the differ ence, at all events, will not be considerable.

BELFAST ELECTION.—On Wedne,,day, the election of a representative for this borough, in the room of Sir James Emerson Tennent, took place at twelve O'clock. Lord John L. Chichester, brother of the Marquis of Donegal, was pro i." d E e s i q ec ., tta without opp os i t i on . Merville, s e con d e d b y j p a o na se es ci by Crawford, jehnHarrison, a Mr. E PLATT appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. CLARKSON defended the prisoner in a most feeling speech, and called several witnesses, who deposed to the pri soner being very fond of children. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up, and The jury acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Frederick WooIff: a young man of respectable appearance and address, aged 23, was indicted for burglariously entering the house of James Samuel, a shoemaker, in the City-road, and stealing therefrom a coat, value 31., a watch, value 305., a pair of boots, some silver spoons, and other articles of minor value. The prosecutor stated that on the morning of the 7th of July, on coming down to his show-room, he missed his coat and boots, but found in their,place a coat and pair of boot% which were produced in Court. The coat was identified as having been stolen some time before from the prisoner's master, who lost at the same time a breast-pin, which a pawnbroker swore was pledged in his shop by the prisoner. The pawnbroker was positive as to th identity of the prisoner, and that he pawned the goods of Mr Samuel. Mr. BALLANTINE defended the prisoner, and called his landlord, and the wife of the latter, who swore that the prisoner did not leave their house on the night of the 6th of July. These witnesses gave him an excellent character. A genteel young woman, named Ann Dawson, stated that on the 7th of July the prisoner was in her company for more than one hour, at the time when the pawnbroker swore to his pawning the goods laid in the indictment. The COMMON SERGEANT put it to the jury whether they would take the evidence of one witness who might be mistaken in a matter of identity, against three witnesses who could not be mistaken, but must have sworn falsely, if the prisoner were guilty. The jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner. The COMMON SERG EA NT saw that there was another in dictment against the prisoner, but if it depended on the sane evidence, he would not recomme n d counse l to procee d w i t h i t. The ounsel for the prosecution expressed a determination to proceed, and the case was ordered to stand over for the present. BO W-STREET.—(I I HIS DAY) Elizabeth Cochton, was charged with being drunk and dis orderly, and committinc , an assault on Louisa Sullivan. The prosecutrix, whose' face was covered with scars, said that she lodged in the same house with the prisoner, and that interfering in a quarrel between her mother and the prisoner, she received the ornaments above alluded to from the latter. She bit her several times in the face, and also in the hand. Mr. JARDINE asked if the witness's mother was in at tendance ?—Witness replied that she was. Mary Sullivan, the mother of the last witness, was then called, and said that she quarrel had originated in a dispute about a gown which she had lost some time before. She had spoken about it in her presence, and she, the prisoner, con sidering her honesty impeached by her observations, had taken a most valorous, but by no means becoming method of clearing her character. This witness also showed marks on her face. Mr. JARDINE said, that as the prisoner was not charged with any assault on this witness, he could not take any notice of that part of the evidence. Policeman 1 , " 144 found the prisoner fighting with the elder Sullivan in the street, before the house in which they lived. Ile separated them with some difficulty, and they went to their rooms. An hour after that, he found them again fighting. and the prosecutrix was endeavouring to separate them. Cockton and the elder Sullivan were drunk, but the prosecutrix was not. The prisoner was committed to the house of Correction for fourteen days. NEW MODE OF SMUGGLING.—On Sunday, as some market-gardeners of St. Maude were entering Paris at day break, they perceived something amongst the trees of the outward boulevard which looked like a sort of phantom, being long and white, with the arms sticking out. After some hesitation, they advanced to examine this dreadful object, and found that it was a huge kite, with large bladders of spirits for wings, and a still larger one tied to th e t a il. There could not be a ny d ou bt th a t th e intention had been to defraud the revenue, by avoiding to pay the octroi-duty, but that the kite had fallen short, and stuck in the trees. The octroi officers made a capture of this new kind of smuggler. THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT IN GERMANY.—A few days since, Czerski, one of the leaders of the great church movement now in activity in Germany, preached at Posen before a numerous congregation of Reformers. A grand Roman Catholic procession was formed during the day, as a great demonstration in favour of the existing order of things. In the afternoon serious riots took place between the friends of the Pope and the adherents of Czerski, and it was at length deemed necessary to call out the military. The Bishop of Posen has since thought it expedient to publish an excul patory declaration, in which he states that he did not consent to the procession until repeated solicitations on the part of the Roman Catholics. The new church is making rapid strides. At Nlagdeburgh a church has been consecrated for the especial use of the community, and at Leipsie the meetings of the Re formers are so numerously attended that it has at length been determined to hold them in the open air. TUE LATE SIR WILLIAM FoLLETT.—It has been already announced in the public journals, that a subscrip tion has been set on foot in Exeter (the native place of the late Sir William Follett, and the city he represented in Parliament) for the purpose of procuring some lasting tes timonial to his memory in that city. The like effort has been commenced in London; and a circular has been issued among the members of the different inns of court and others, who are supposed to be interested and willing to aid in the object in view. It is proposed, by the friends of the late Attorney-General, that a statue or other fitting me morial of that distinguished individual shall be prepared to be erected in some place hereafter to be decided upon ; and a committee has been formed for the purpose of pro moting that design. At the head of the list of names of those noblemen and gentlemen who constitute this com mittee stands that of the Lord Chanceikr, followed by the Earl of Devon, Lord Denman, Lord Brougham, Lord Lang dale, and Lord Campbell. Then come the names of Sir R. Peel and Sir James Graham, Lord John Russell, Lord Pal merston, the Ch , ncellor of the Exchequer, the Right lion. R. L. Sheil, Lord Mahon, Chief Justice Tindal, the Lord Chief Baron, and most of the equity and common law judges. In addition to this powerful list of names, there are those of the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General, the Judges of the Arches and Admiralty Courts, the principal Benc'iers of the various Inns of Court, Masters in Chancery, Bankruptcy Com missioners, &e, FRENCH MAILS TO ALEXANDRIA.—It haring been decided, as we have already stated, that there are to be two direct mail departures monthly from Marseilles for Alexandria, viz., on the 4th and :24th, the Director-General of the Post office has issued a notice, stating that the lett , rs for Alexandria from Paris will be sent off on the 20th and 30th or 31st of each month. These mails will also take letters for Malta, Smyrna, Constantinople, Athens, and Syria. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—( From a Correspondent.) —Wh Ist three men were engaged in excavating the founda tion of a new house, near Penydaran, Merthyr Tydvil, the earth, which was of the depth of 15 feet, suddenly gave way, and buried the three men beneath it. When they were taken ' out, they were found to be quite dead. An inquest was held on the bodies, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER ) JOSEPH V. WILLER. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 121. 10s. 6d. on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be the acceptor. The defendant, who resides at Clewer-lane, Windsor, pleaded that he did not accept the bill, but did not appear to support his plea. George Winter Roberts, the drawer of the bill, deposed that he was present when the d e f e nd an t s i gne d hi s acceptance. The SECONDARY said that their could not be a doubt as to the fact of the acceptance being that of the defendant, not with standing the plea. As the law now stood thesesbam pleas were rather dangerous. Mr. BUCHANAN, the plaintiff's solicitor claimed a verdict for the bill, interest, and noting. The Learned Secotina KY said that the noting could not be allowed when a plea was put on the record, though the de fendant did not attend ; unless the noting.was proved it would be different on a mere inquiry. The jury gave a verdict for tha amount of the bill and interest. This was the only case on the paper. BANKRUPTCY. -(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commiisioner FANE. ) Mr. LUCAS appeared on behalf of Samuel Walter Weller, of Bishopsgate-street, &c., fishmonger, to answer a summons ob. tained under the sth and 6 h of Victoria, by which, if the defendant admitted the debt and did not pay the am.,ont, he might be declared bankrupt. The Learned Counsel said that the defendant had made an affidavit admitting a portion of the debt, and deposing that he had a good defence to the action as to the rest ; the question therefore arose whether, under the 14th and 15th section of the Act, any fiat of bankruptcy could issue ; secondly, whether under the 32d rule of this court the defendant was not entitled to be dismissed from the summons, the rule stating distinctly that if he declared that he had a good defence, he should be discharged from the summons. In this case he admitted part, which he would pay into court, and an action was pending on the other. The COMMISSIONER said that that must be a mistake; and he would not act upon it unless there were strong precedents. If that interpretation of the rule was to be taken, a person summoned fore debt of 1,000?. had only to pay I/. into court, and deny the 9991 , to get through the Act. The case was postponed for the opinion of Commissioner Fonblanque. PETERS V. WARD. WHO ARE GENTLEMEN ?—This was a summons under the same Act, and an objection was taken to the description of Mr. Peters in the affidavit ; he had been described as a gen tleman. It was contended that no person was entitled to describe himself as a gentleman but an attorney. Sir John Bayley had taken the objection, and it had been held that even as articled clerk could not maintain that character on paper. The CommissiosEß—What is this deponent ? ATTORNEY—Nothing, I believe. 'I he COMMISSIONER—Then how is he to describe himself, if he is of no trade or profession ? This description does not tend to mislead, and I overru!e the objection. An ATTORNEY said that the proper and only legally recog nised title under an Esquire was " Yeoman," unless they were gentlemen by Act of Parliament. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.) CHILD MURDER.— Mary Ann Eager, a young woman aged 19, was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child at Greenwich, on the 26th of June last. From the evidence that was adduced on the part of the pro secution, it appeared that the prisoner lived with her father and mother at Greenwich. On the day mentioned in the indict ment she was taken ill, and gave birth to a child. Upon her mother asking her if she had not done so, she screamed " Yes ;" and upon being asked where it was, she mentioned the place. The prisoner appeared in a most wild state, and seemed quite lost. Vali] this took place her mother did not suspect she was in the family way. When the body of the child was taken out of the chamber vessel it was quite dead. At this time the prisoner was lying on the bed exhausted and speech less. The prisoner was very fond of children. Mr. Hatch, a surgeon of Greenwich, stated that he was called into the house of the prisoner's father. He saw the body of a female child on the floor ; it was quite dead, and there was a jagged wound on the neck, which appeared to have penetrated to the vertebra; of the back. The wound was such as would cause the death of the child. On seeing the prisoner she was in a most exhausted state; she had recently been de livered of a child, and continued under witness's care for some time dangerous ill. From a post mortem examination witness was of oninion the child had breathed. The wound might have been inflicted with a pair of scissors. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Believed the child was the first the prisoner had had. The naval string was entire. In the case of the prisoner parturition must have been attended with great pai n , an d t h e agony m i ght have caused such violence on the part of the prisoner as might have terminated in the death of the child. Another surgeon of the name of Mitchell gave similar evi dence. SPORTING INTELLIGENC E ' (RECEIVED TIIIS DAY.) YORK RACES.—Tflonsnay.
