FRANCE. The proces-verbal of the Comtnission of Permanence was, it is stated, drawn up by illli. D apin, Odilon Barrot, Jules de Lasteyrie, General Bedeau, and Leon Faucher. The terms of the resolution, as already mentioned, express disapproval of the mani festations at S story, of the provocations which led to them, and of the non-repression which followed them. M. Granier de Cissagnac publishes in the Pouvoir a very sharp article on the unconstitutional cry of " Vive I Empereur "by some of the troops. He says :—" The journals and the men who declare themselves to be so much shocked by the unconstitu tional cry of the troops are, strangely enough, the same who find it in good taste to laugh at the Con stitution ; and persons who would willingly impeach the Minister of War for not punishing the se ditious cries of Vive l'Empereur,' lave re turned from Claremont and Wiesbaden where they went to cry Vive le Rol.' France now presents the strange spectacle of divided parties who wish to see others united; of men who are furious in opposing a king to the Republic, but who find it scandalous that others should oppose to it an Emperor. But, sy these gentlemen, such cries tend to disorganize the army, aed the soldier owes obedience to discipline, to the regulations, and to the laws. We do not pretend the contrary ; but these gentlemen resemble a little too much the grand lords of the ancien regime, who claimed for themselves the right of being Atheists, but who forced their servants to attend mass. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Lieutenant-Colonel Ilelgesen, the Commandant of' Friederichstadt, has published the following bulletin, dated the 7th inst. :—" After the enemy had kept up during the whole of yesterday a very sharp fire against our entrenchments and against the town, I re ceived towards the evening the report that they were ad vancing in strong columns. The external line of defence as well as the works by which they were supported were covered with troops, and the garrison was ready to receive the enemy. Soon after four columns, each consisting of one and a half to two battalions, ad vanced under cover of a heavy fire from the batteries as well as from the gun-boats stationed on the Eider. The enemy made repeated attempts to carry our outer line by assault, but were each time repulsed with great loss. About eleven o'clock they retired to their old positions. According to the account given by some of the prisoners, General Willisen had seven battalions engaged. The assault lasted nearly an hour. Up to the present time the prisoners brought in are one captain, one lieutenant, and 30 privates ; our loss is not yet exactly known." The Independance of' Brussels has the following under date of Hamburgh, 11th inst. :—" It is not yet possible to form a correct estimate of the loss in men and materiel experienced by the Holstein army in its unfortunate attempts to take Freidrichstadt by assault. It is generally thought that, in order not to aggravate the general grief, aed bring to light the enormiey of the faults committed, the public will never be allowed to know the truth. It is now known that the wise representations and the earnest entreaties of several officers experienced in the art of war, to persuade General Willisen and Colonel Von-den Tann not to follow up their fatal enterprise remained unheeded. Nothing could make them renounce the accomplishment of their de sign ; twice were the battalions led on to the assault. The frightful results of this obstinacy are well known ; they are such as will long compromise the national cause an I the fete of the two Duchies. The hospitals and all the great edifices in Holstein, converted in haste into temporary hospitals, are so full of sick and wounded soldiers that the military lutendance has been compelled to send a part of those unfortunate victims of the war to Wansbeck, a small village a quarter of a league from that town." According to the Budget presented to the Chamber of Deputies of Denmark, in its sitting of the 7th inst., the receipts for 1831 are estimated at 131- i 1 - lions of rix dollars banco, exclusive of the receipts of the Duchy of Schleswig; the expenses are cal culated at 13 millions. The deficit will be in part covered by the surplus of the receipts of the Custom house duties of Schleswig, and in part by the new income-tax. ITAL Y. We read in the Risorgimento of Turin the following letter, addressed by thg members of the Municipal Co , _►ncil of Florence to Sig. Peruzzi, who has been dismissed from his post of Gontaloniere, on account of his having proposed the address we mentioned a few days ago, praying for the re-establishment of the Con stitution " Florence, Oct. 1, 1850. " Very illustrious Sir,—Oa the occasion of your resigning the office of Cronfaluniere, we wish to express to you, Sir, the sorrow with which the decree which deprives you of . 1 our post has filled our hearts and those of our fellow-ci:iz2w. Whatever may have been the opini , n entertained by otherA, it a?pared to U 3 in the municipal sitting, of the 27th Septetnber last, and it appears to us still, that the respec fat petition you were directed by the Council to present to his Highness, far from being an illegal act, was, on the one laud the fu!tilment of our duty towards our constituents, and on the other a proof of our confidence in the benevolent intentions of our Sivereign. To repel the accuiations which had been mv.de upon the country was a sacred duty of the Mu nicipality, as well as a right of every conscientious eitivn. Our praying for the re-establishment of the Statute, in the respectful form in which it was done, was a proof of the confidence we feel in the intentions which the Government has always declared, and the Sovereign recently confirmed. The Florentine Mu nicipality, which had assumed so great a responsi bility, in the restoration of the 124k0f April, could not, and ought not, to have been Bile& on so serious and solemn an occasion. We have the honour to de clare ourselves, " Your friends and colleagues, &c." Among the signatures to this letter we find the names of CAppori, Ridolfi, Don Nezi Corsini, and other eminent men of Tuscany. THE LATEQUEEN of the BELGIANS. The Inclepenthince of Brussels has the following under date of Ostend, the 12th :--" The mortal re mains of the Queen were deposited lest night in the Chambre Ardente. Tne cure of the church of Ostend, the Countess cie Merode, Lsdy of Honour, the Coun tess Vilain XtV , end the Countess Mist, Lady of Honour to Queen Merle Amelie, passed the night in prayer near the royal remains. At seven o'clock in the morning a mass was said in the chapel, at which Queen Amelia and the Princesses were present. At nine o'clock the whele of the R )yel Family again assembled round the body. At this mass, which WAS performed hy the cure of Ostend, the King of the Belgians, the Duke de Brabant - , the Count de Flandre, and the Princess Charlotte; Q teen Marie Amelie, the Duchess of Orleans, the Princess Clementine, Prince de Join vitle, and the Duke n'Aumele were present. The Duk de Nernniiis was not able to be pre sent. In addition to his previous indisposition, he met with an accident while hastening to be pre sent at the last moments of his deceased sister. The streets being so badly lighted, he struck his knee against the side of a flight of steps which pro jected across the foot pavement. The blow was very violent, but in the agitation of the moment he paid no attention to it ; a violent infl unmation has since come on, and the knee is much swollen. The body of the Queen wi.!l not be removed to Brussels until Tuesday, and it is nut yet known when the King and his fernily will leave Ostend. It i 3 now said that the Orleans family will accompany his Ma jesty to Lecken. The Duke de Nemeurs will•per - haps be prevented from doing so by the indisposition, which now compels him to keep his bed. The Duchess of Orleans will proceed to England." An other letter says :—" The Clyipel Ardente, which had been hastily prepared in the Palace, is extremely simple. A saloon adjoining the bedroom in which the Queen expired was hung with black, on which the royal initials were embroidered in silver. A state bed was placed in the middle of the room, on which the body was laid ; opposite it was an altar covered with black. Yellow wax-lights were placed round the room and round the funeral couch. The Queen was dressed as in the last days cf her illness. Iler calm and mild physiognomy evidenced the serenity of her mind, and her eyes were open as though she still lived ; her hands were clasped on her breast in the attitude of prayer. An artist of Ostend, M. Van Cuyck, has this morning drawa the portrait of our beloved Queen. Queen Maria Amelie, accompanied by the Princess Clementine, went again this morning to the hotel Fontaine to visit the Duke de Nemours. The countenance of the august widow of Louis Philippe bears the marks of profound grief, but greatest courage her walk and attitude she di s pl a y s th e courage and resignation. Th e P r i ncess Clementine is pale and careworn : the Prince de. Juinville can sel e e ly see; the grief he has lately experienced has added ten years to the age of the gallant young Admiral. The Princes display the greatest affability. They stipulated as a candition of their remaining at the hotel that they should be treated as private individuals. The King came on foot some time after the Queen Amelie to visit the Duke de NEthoars. It is impossible to depict the impression which is left on his countenance by the terrible event which has just fallen on his tenderest affections. The Countess Mollien, who made part of the suite of Queen ce.ie, left at one o'clock for Paris. There floe, - ene-ine with the Queen the Duchess Marmier end tilz. Countess d'Hulst. If the weather is favour able, the Duchess of Orleans will leave to-morrow at high water for Dover. It is now fixed that the mortal remains of her Majesty will leave Ostend on Monday." • -Two •national subscriptions hare been opened at Brussels and In other parts of tSelgium fur the eac- THE SUN, tion of a monument in memory of the late Queen, and the other for founding a charitable institution to bear her name. A PUGILISTIC RENCONTRE WITH THE DUKE OF ATHOLL. The Scottish Press says—" The arrival of the sea son at which travellers return southwards from their Highland rambles, brings us some curious stories about the Duke of Atholl. We intimated a few weeks ago that his Grace, though condescending to grant occasional passports to travellers desirous of proceeding through Glen Tilt, seemed determined to dispute the proper application of the recent legal de cision in the Court of Session, and we regret to say that we have since heard of one instance, at least, in which he has actually taken the law into his own hands, or, we should rather Bay, has attempted to administer club law on the subject. It appears, from facts which have come to our knowledge within the last day or two, that Glen Tilt, already famous as the occasion of a most interesting and important law process, has recently acquired an additional renown from the circumstance of a fierce fisty-cuff battle having being fought in it between the Duke of Atholl himself and two young gentlemen from England, who had the hardihood to penetrate into these wilds, tra versed by few without a pass. The full details of this singular and very discreditable affair have not yet reached us, but the leading facts, which are as fol low, may be confidently relied on : It appears that a few weeks ago two young gentle men, students of Cambridge University, feeling de sirous of proceeding through Glen Tilt, in order at once to obtain a view of the scenery and to shorten the way to their destination, had proceeded so far on their dangerous journey without molestation, when they were suddenly brought into the immediate neigh bourhood of a party of ladies and gentlemen, whom they, no doubt, expected to pass with a becoming sa ltee, and no more about it. How they managed to obtain admission to the glen at all we have not beard, but we at least know that they were not, like Pro fessor Balfour, interrupted by his Grace, for he hap pened to be one of the party alluded to, and no sooner espied the daring pedestrianslthan he approached, challenged them to atop, and at once ordered them to turn and go back—an order which was accompanied, we understand, by such menaces as the head of Clan Atholl and the rightful lord of Glen Tilt might con sider himself entitled to use. The intruders, as may easily be imagined by any one who has been so stopped in the middle of his journey, were not disposed to yield an immediate compliance to this rather rough, but by no means uncharacteristic, demand. A short altercation en sued—a very short one, we understand ; for who would ever suppose that a Duke, the- Duke of Atholl es pecially, would stop to bandy words with two rambling Cambridge students ? The young gentlemen ex pressed their determination to proceed, under the im pression that they had a perfect right to do so, while his Grace as determinedly insisted upon their return ing; and in order to show them how to do so, we suppose, proceeded to collar one of them, and drag him backwards. Resistance was made, and the fight began. We are not aware on which side the greatest amount of science was shown ; but the mill, if we may borrow a phrase from the ring, which has now been honoured by the practice of the Duke, must have been a pretty stiff one. Blows were exchanged freely. Think of a Duke making such an exchange with an obtrusive commoner, and both parties seemed to have considered themselves victorious ! His Grace of Atholl, at least, carried his colours from the field, for we are credibly informed that two at least of the tres primativce colores were brought out in his coun tenance. During their "battle sair and tough," the Duke's party were looking on, whether in wonder or ad miration we are unable to say, but the result was that the two young gentlemen were committed to the care of the attendants, while his Grace withdrew to show his scars, perhaps to wash his face, very discreetly took them out of the way a little, and then, with mum, more good sense than their master, allowed them to proceed on their journey. Such are the here facts of this singular affair, in which Scottish nobility certainly does not make a very creditable figure. Now, we should like to know, end this battle renders the inquiry very apposite, whether all travellers in future are expected to fight their way through Glen Tilt ?—whether, in the event of passports not :having been obtained, the Duke of Atholl proposes, like Mejor Galbraith, as the only alternative, that all pretty men should draw, or at least show fight ? If such is to be really the case, there need rot be so much apprehension about venturing through the forbidden glen in future. The decision is a much shorter one than can be obtained through a Court of Session process, and the honour of fighting a Duke is given to the bargain—an honour which might even compensate, in fact, for being eventually forced to turn back. But, seriously, what shall we think or say about this conduct on the part of a nobleman ? Very little can be said, because the unhappy persis tency which his Grace has shown in having his name made notorious in connexion with Glen Tilt, has never before led him so far—and the bare facts of this disgraceful proceeding require no comment.

CASTL E HEDINGIIAM, OCT. 10.—At ten o'clock last night the premises of Mr. John Chickall were discovered to be on fire, and before the progress of the flames could be arrested the dwe ll ing house, a barn containing th e produce of seven acres of barley and three acres of peas, a wheat stac k, two barley stacks, two hay stack s , and an oat stack , were reduced to r a u nd ins.mosTt o ofhefgrtehaeterfapramrting implements, were also the household furnit ure, included i n th e lamentable work of destructi on , which we regre t t o learn there , is little doubt was also pres en t, ad wilfully occasioned. The 1 oxearth subscripti on , Sudbury, and Melford engines were promptly con veyed to the spot, and Superintendent Iloy, with several constables, was in attendance, three of th e from Melford the ti the property, one barn full of wheat was all that exero be ingnme to sav e s could be rescued! The Rev. dames Sperling, o f Monk's Lodge, Maplestead, to wh om the far m be longs, we are glad to learn, is in sured, and M r . Chickall's s t oc k an d c rop, are similarly protected. Mr. Chickall and his daughter, the only inmates of the house, it appears had retired to rest about an hour and a half when the alarm was given. A stack of wheat straw, the produce of five acres, standing in a field in the parish, and near the town of Kelvedon, belonging to Mr. William Abbott, farmer, was fired about 4 P.M. on Friday last, and the whole was consumed. Two boys, named Howard and New man, each a b ou t 13 y e ars of age, who were at work in a field near the stack, gave the alarm at a cottage a few minutes only after the light could hoe-been ap. plied, and Newman had been in the morning chas tised by his master for burning some haulm in the field, which he had lighted with lucifers he had about him. Tae two boys were taken into custody the same evening by police-constable Martin, and con veyed to the station. They have since been examined and remanded.—Essex Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Edwards and James Meek were brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having endeavoured to excite a revolt on board her Majesty's cutter Gossamer, on the Dutch coast. The prisoners had been brought home in irons. Mr. Swainson, from the office of the Solicitor to the Admiralty, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoners. The following is the essential part of the evidence, which was detailed at considerable length : W. D. Hall, second master in her Majesty's navy, and commander of her Majesty's cutter Gossamer, said—The prisoners were able seamen on board the Gossamer, which was at the time I speak of surveying on the coast of the Netherlands. I believe them to he under martial law. I hired them both in her Majesty's service. On the 16th of September, about eight in the morning, the vessel was lying in the port of Nieudiep, in the Netherlands. Edwards advised the crew to come aft to me on the quarter-deck. I went on deck and found the crew there. One of the crew, named Widyer, said he thought himself not properly treated, upon which the prisoner Edwards turned round and demanded his discharge of me. I remonstrated with him and the rest of the crew, and explained to them the folly of such conduct, mentioning at the same time that the ship bad been robbed of two muskets, which formed part of her ammunition. They said they were sorry for it, or something to that effect; and I said, perhaps when we overhaul the vessel we shall find the fourth jib gone. Upon hearing which the prisoner Meek became so violent that some of the other men were obliged to hold him back. Speaking of me and pointing at me, he said, let me at —. Edwards, pointing at Meek said, " I know what that man is if he gets from the men," meaning, as I believed, that he had no command of himself. To avoid the vio lence with which I considered myself to be threat ened, I took refuge in the cabin. I was compelled to leave the quarter-deck for my personal safety. While in the cabin, or adjoining it, I heard E !wards re mark that he would be d—d if he would go to sea in the ship, or if he did he would not work, neither would he let me, and he said at the same time, if I took him to sea he would throw me overboard as I was heaving the log. The position in which I should be in throwing the log would be with my back to the crew, so that I could be thrown over the gunwale. I then went on deck and desired them to go to their duty. The prisoners remained amongst the men as I had no means of shutting them up. All returned ,to their duty except Edwards. Meek returned to his duty, but observing that he was not sober I recommended him to go to bed. I next directed the men to go to breakfast. After breakfast I allotted each man his work, when Edwards, coming up and seeing Widyer at work, put himself in a box ing attitude, and tried to excite him to go ashore and fight. I ordered Widyer to go below to avoid any injury, and Edwards then demanded his discharge, swearing that he did not care a for me or all the consuls on shore. I replied, " You are in a foreign port, and I cannot discharge you without sufficient funds to pay your passage home, besides which your services are required here to take the vessel back to England." He went below, and said he would be if he would go in the vessel, because he knew that when we got to Grimsby I should imprison him. winding that he could not get his discharge, he called Meek, and said he would not go without his old chummie (Meek), and then both of them went down, packed up their things, and brought them on deck, demanding of me their register tickets. I told them again I would not discharge them, and Edwards said he was discharged by me ; and when told by Mr. Jones, the master's assistant, that I had donenothing of the kind, he said the assistant was a --liar. At that moment Meek attacked another of the crew, named John Webb, whom I was obliged to send, bleeding at the ear, out of the ship, to avoid further violence. After this transaction, the remainder of the crew told me they did not think it safe to go with the vessel if those men remained, and I obtained the as• sistance of some Dutch soldiers, and had the pri soners conveyed to the guard ship, which lay near the Gossamer. Mr. Swainson did not think it necessary to go par ticularly into evidence regarding the temporary dis appearance of two muskets which belonged to the Gossamer, as there appeared to be no ground for sup posing that they had been taken away with a felonious intent. IV. Widyer, an able seaman on board the Gossa mer, said that Meek was drunk on the occasion of the disturbance, and wished to leave the vessel because he considered himself accused of having stolen the muskets ; and as for Edwards, who was not at all so drunk, he had given no reason at all for his conduct. They both said, if the commander did not give them their discharge, they would heave the log with him. Alderman GIBIF—What did they mean by that ? Witness—That I can't say. Alderman GIBBS—What do you understand by that ? Did they mean anything good to the com manchr by it ? Witness—No, not at all. Alderman GIBB i—What were the words they used to the best of your recollection ? Witness—They said they would heave the log with him before they got to England. Alderman GIBBS—And what do you suppose they meant by those words ? Witness—Why, they meant that they would heave the commander overboard along with the log.—(Pe laugh) Something of that kind I suppose they meant. Edwards tried to prevail upon Webb to pack up and leave the vessel, and was generally a quarrelsome man, but Meek was a very different sort of person, and had been well conducted until Monday, the 16th of September. Mr. Swainson—Did you hear either or both of them threaten the commander? Witness—No. I heard them swear at him but not threaten him. They were both under the influence of liquor at the time. Certainly Meek did not know what he was about. They wanted to get in a stock of provisions. I do not think there was any fear that they wanted to run away with the ship or the commander ; and I do be- lieve that if they had not been tipsy they would not have acted as they did. Robinson, another of the seamen on board the Gossamer, said he recollected a bit of a dust on board on the day specified, when Meek was not sober, and Edwards was well sprung and rather rusty. Ed wards threatened to heave the log with the com mander, that is, to heave him overboard. Edwards swore a little. Alderman GIBBS—What do you believe was the cause ? Witness—Drink. Mr. Wontuer—Does not the commander swear sometimes? Witness—Why, no, I can't say he swears much. Mr. Wontner—Well, does he not swear a little sometimes ? Witness—Well, he may swear a little. —(Laughter.) I never beard him. Mr. S wainson said he must admit that the evidence did not go to the extent of proving the existence of that sort of conspiracy which was necessary to estab lish the charge of exciting to revolt ; but he submitted that quite enough had been shown to satisfy the bench that dangerous insubordination had existed. Mr. Wontner said the prisoners never had enter tained the most remote idea of exciting to revolt. They were, in fact, two Yarmouth fishermen, who had been hired fur duty in a Queen's ship, with the strict regulations of which they were not acquainted. They wanted to go ashore to get fresh provisions, to which they had been always accustomed ; their pru dence left them, and they were met by the intern. perate authority of the commander, who was not dis posed to make any allowance for their former habits or condition. Alderman GIBBS said he would look over the de positions, and give his decision upon the case on Friday. SOUTHWARK. EXCESS OF VIOLENCE BY POLICEMEN.—Mr. Su perintendent Haynes, M division, attended for the purpose of acquainting Mr. A'Beckett of the result of inquiries instituted before the Commissioners of Police, and their decisions thereupon respecting the alleged violence exercised by two policemen of the M division, whose conduct in the first instance was brought under his (M. A'Beckett's) notice. The Superintendent said the first case related to a policeman named Wakefield, of the M division, who in taking a man into custody for an alleged breach of the- peace, struck him a violent blow on the front part of his head with his truncheon. In the course of the inquiry into the circumstances in the first instance at this court, the/ magistrate found it necessary to mark his disapprobation of the policeman's conduct on the police e sheet, and this led to a further investigation before the Commissioners, the result of which was that they suspended him from duty for a week, mulcting him of his pay for that period. The other case referred to another policeman, named Gingell, who took a man into custody for assaulting him, but when the circumstances were inquired into it turned out that the policeman committed the first assault himself, by knocking the man down on the pavement. The Commissioners had also suspended this man from duty, and he (the superintendent) had directions to muster the force under his command, and to apprise them of the decisions in the above cases, and to caution them that from henceforth if any policeman used un necessary violence in the execution of his duty, or produced his truncheon without there was absolute need of it, the Commissioners were determined on dis missing them altogether from the service. Mr. A'BECKETT said that he recollected both the cases referred to; that he was always desirous of pro tecting the police in the execution of their arduous duties, but when they used unnecessary violence in the discharge of it, as appeared in this instance, it was requisite for the public safety that the parties should meet with such punishment as they deserved ; and he was glad that he had called the Commissioners' attention, by the remarks he comidered it necessary to make on the police-sheet when the cases were first brought under his notice. THAMES. THE CASE OF ROSINA HERBERT.—A lady, one of several others, came forward yesterday to leave 1/. for the sampstress Rosina Herbert. Mr. YARDLEY—I do not know whether you have seen to-day's papers, and perhaps you are not aware that we have received a good deal too much on her account already. The consequences of bestowing donations so liberally on persons who have committed offences may be very serious. If you take my advice, you will bestow it upon some other object. Lady—ln that case, as I have another application, I will bestow it there. In two or three other instances where money was proffered, Mr. Yardley having made similar observa tions, the amount was ordered to be put to the general poor fund.

LIVERPOOL PLATE ROBBERIES. THIRD INVESTIGATION. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—According to the adjourn ment made on this day week, another investigation of these charges took place to-day. From the various statements and disclosures which have been made during the past week, the public anxiety to be pre sent at this investigation was very great, and long before the hour appointed for opening the court there was a large number of persons present; and it was with the utmost difficulty that the legal gentlemen, or the reporters, of whom there was a pretty strong muster, could obtain seats. At five minutes to eleven o'clock a cab drove up, containing the prisoners Sirrell, M'Auley, and M'Guire. They were immediately put into the dock in charge of an officer of the county police, and one of the turnkeys of Kirkdale. They did not appear the least altered. Sirrell had a small carpet-bag, which he carried into the dock with him. Both M'Auley and M'Guire wore travelling caps, Soon after eleven o'clock the magistrates began to take their seats on the bench. There were present J. A. Harden, Esq., chairman ; J. B. Yeats, David Hodgson, J. B. Moore, J. T. Bourne, R. Theak stone, J. B. Barclay, J. A. Tinne, and J. Rosson, Esqrs. The prisoners were defended by the same legal gentlemen as appeared for them on the last examina tion—namely, Mr. Lewis, solicitor, London, for Mr. Sirrell ; and Mr. Simon, barrister, for M'Auley and M'Guire. Mr. Dowling prosecuted. The proceedings to-day were commenced by read ing over the depositions taken before the magistrates on this day week. John Lund sworn—ls an inspector of the detective police in London. Remembers the 2d of October. Went on that day to the corner of Barbican, Long lane, No. 54, occupied by the prisoner Sirrell. I there saw a person whom I knew to be in the em ploy of the London and North-Western Railway enter the shop of 54, with two parcels under his arm and a book in his hand. Followed in immediately behind him. Sirrell was standing near the counter when we entered. The porter placed the two parcels in Mr. Sirrell's hands. Mr. Sirrell, on looking at them, banded them over to n person whom he called John, behind the counter, at the same time telling him to pay two shillings on one of the parcels—the smaller and the lightest one of the two. The delivery book was then handed by the porter for Mr. Sirrell to sign. Mr. Sirrell then handed it over to John to sign for the delivery. lie did so, and handed over the book, with twoshillings, to the porter. The porter then left the shop, and John then placed the two parcels at the side of the desk on the counter. At that moment the officer, Kehoe, from Liverpool, with Sergeants Witcher and Shaw, of the London detectives, entered the shop. I immediately bent over the counter and took possession of the two parcels, and pointed out to Kehoe where Mr. Sirrell had gone to, which I after wards found to be the counting-house. Followed after them with the two parcels, and said to Sirrell, " You must be present when I open these." Was then in the counting-house. Sirrell said, "No, no, one of my young peen will do. I will have nothing to do with it." At that time we had walked from the counting-house to the other shop, which I be lieve is in a line with the counting-house. It is not the shop by shish we entered. Plated the tw , ) parcels on the counter and commenced undoing them, when Sirrell immediately left and walked back to the counting-house. I then called out and said I must insist upon his being present when these parcels were being opened. The officer Kehoe then went and brought him back to the counter. I then opened the parcels. Sirrell, Kehoe, and Sergeant Shaw, of the London detective police, were present, and there might have been one of the shopmen present. Gave the parcels over to the officer Kehoe. Saw the parcels. They were plate. One parcel was in a tin canister, wrapped in paper. After I had opened the parcels I said to Sirrell, " Have you any letter from Liverpool this morning ?" Mr. Simon here said that he objected to such evi dence as regards M'Auley. The COURT—It is no evidence against M'Auley of course. Witness—Mr. Sirrell stepped back three or four paces, made no reply, but brought a letter which wit ness afterwards handed over to Kehoe. The letter was handed to witness, which he identified. Asked Sirrell if he knew the person who wrote the letter. He replied that he thought not ; but that he had had 20 transactions with him. Witness then conveyed him to the King-street Police-station, Westminster. The letter was open when he saw it. Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Was not five miles from John. Sirrell handed the parcels to John. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Kehoe had not the opportunity of hearing all that he did. Kehoe could not see what took place in the shop before he entered. Cannot say what Kehoe said when he went into the counting-house. Did not follow i❑ immediately. Was not close enough to hear what passed. The letter was banded to witness without. hesitation. The par cel was opened by witness. Before the parcel was opened, can t say whether I told him under what cir cumstances I took possession. He said he would call the police in. The place of business is extensive, and contains a large amount of property. Witcher had not the same opportunity of seeing what passed as witness had. Llewellyn Roberts—Resides in Everton, near Li verpool. Is a mercantile clErk. Has known the pri soner M'Auley for 20 years or more. Has seen him write frequently, hut not for 12 years.
