THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION. The following correspondence has taken place between Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Henry Hoare " New-street, Spring-gardens, Jan. 21, 1847. "My Lord,—l have been requested by several of the electors of Middlesex, who have met together this day to consider the course to be taken with reference to the present vacancy in the representation, to bring under y our Lordship's notice one very i m p or t a nt topic, to which t hey find no allusion in the address published in this morning's papers. alive " We cannot doubt that yo ur Lordshi p is fully to the importance of a free communication o f sentiment between a candidate and the constituency he seeks to represent. The connexion between . your Lordship and the county of Middle sex, when formed, is one which may be expected to endure for many years to come ; but it would be disappointing to both parties if there were afterwards discovered to exist dif ferences of opinion on important subjects, such as to render a dissolution of the connexion inevitable. " The point to which we desire to draw your Lordship's attention is that of the contemplated endowment of the Ro mish priests in - Ireland. We speak of it as contemplated,' not meaning thereby to imply that it is likely to be imme diately proposed to Parliament; but rather, that being re garded with favour by some of the leading men in all the great parties into which the nation is divided, it is not probable that the next Parliament will expire without hav ing had some such proposition urged upon its acceptance. " Regarding it, then, as a subject of the deepest importance, and as one which is likely to be brought before the House of Commons in the course of a comparatively short time, we earnestly desire a candid explanation of your Lordship's views and intentions respecting it. " Allow us to add, that our inquiry has no reference to the possible details of such a measure. It is not as a question of finance, or unjust taxation, that we regard it. If it could be shown that the Irish priests could be endowed by means of Crown lands, church leases, land-tax, or any other purely Irish resources, that circumstance would not in the slightest degree lessen our repugnance to the measure. Our oppo sition to it rests wholly on religious grounds, and would not be in any degree affected by a variation in the financial arrangements. "Entertaining these views, and believing them to be par ticipated in by many of the electors of Middlesex, we request at your Lordship's hands a statement of your views and in tentions with regard to this important subject.—l have' the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient and very humble servant, "HENRY HOARE. " The Lord Robert Grosvenor, &c., &c." " Moor Park, Jan. 23, 1847. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st, which should have had an earlier reply, had it been delivered at my house in town before Friday evening, but as Igen London in the afternoon of that day, it did not reach me till this morning. "Permit me, in the first place, to thank you for the cour teous terms in which you are good enough to put to me the question it contains, an act which could not require the smallest apology on your part. Though I have no difficulty in replying to it, I regret being compelled to do so, because I find myself under the necessity of avowing an opinion not in unison with your own and that of those gentlemen in whose name you speak. "Having for so many years represented a constituency identified in political feelings with the friends and supporters of the late Mr. Byng, the vacancy caused by whose lamentd death lam now called upon to fill, I thought it would not be inconsistent with the respect which I entertain towards them, to abstain from entering into a detail of opinions which I conceived would be already known to them ; and, in regard to the particular point upon which you d'sire explanation, I might mention two reasons for not having made it an exception to the rule : first, because I concur with you in thinking that, after the declarations of the Prime Minister, and also of the Irish Ro manist hierarchy, made only last year, it is very unlikely that the subject will be brought forward at present ; and, secondly (though I am far from expecting that every one will be acquainted with the political acts of so humble an individual as myself), because I have, upon two occasions, indicated with tolerable distinctness my views upon the point at issue. " The occasions to which I allude are, my votes upon the motion of Lord Ellesmere, then Lord Francis Egerton, made, I believe, in 1827, for the endowment of the Irish Romanist clergy, and upon the additional grant to Maynooth College, proposed at a recent period. I made no objection to the ad ditional grant, but voted with Mr. Ward, in order to record my opinion, that the present Protestant Establishment in Ire land is more than commensurate with the requirements of its members ; in 1827 I voted with Lord Ellesmere. Now, I do not attach any exaggerated merit to political consistency; one may be as obstinate in a failing as in a virtue, and could I bring myself to the conviction that I had erred in these votes, I trust I should at once confess it. Having, however, attentively and seriously reconsidered the subject, in its religious not less than its political aspect, I am bound to declare, that—abstaining from any pledge as to detail—holding myself at liberty, should I then have a seat in Parliament, either to acquiesce in, or to oppos e , u p on Its own merits, any measure that may be laid before the , 1 House having for its object the endowment of the Romish clergy in Ireland. There m a y b e aga i n, as there were be fore, propositions to that effect submitted to the Legislature, at a time, and under circumstances, which will ensure my concurrence. " I must apologise for the length to which, owing to the nature of the question you have put to me, I have been com pelled to extend my reply; but with one more observation I will conclude, namely, to express a hope that in this, almost zmy first public communication with any considerable portion of the electors of Middlesex, I have manifested a desire to keep up a free intercourse with them, and to give to whatever question they shall think proper to address to me a candid, straightforward, and respectful answer. " I must again repeat my unfeigned regret, that I find myself differing with yourself, and those friends in whose name you write, upon an important subject; and I beg to subscribe myself, with great deference, sir, your most obedient and very humble servant, " ROBERT GROSVENOR. 4tH. Hoare, Esq., New•street, Spring-gardens." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Scourge steam sloop, Commander Caffin, left this morning for Bristol, to load with meal for Ireland. The Echo steam-tug will convoy Mr. Bellamy, the Assist ant Master Attendant of this dockyard, to the neighbour• hood of the wreck of the Sphynx, this evening or to-mor row, to await a favourable opportunity of making another attempt, in conjunction with other vessels and officers, to save that vessel, which remains in the same position as when last specially alluded to. The Royal Frederick, 110, building in this dockyard, on the same or very similar lines as the Queen, by Sir William Symonds, is being rapidly expedited for launching, for which she is ordered to be ready by August next. Upwards of 160 hands are now employed upon her. The Sharpshooter and Rifleman, screw steam gun dispatch vessels, built on the design of Mr. Fincham, Master Ship wright of this dockyard, are ordered to this port from the river, to be fitted for immediate commission. They are to mount very heavy guns of long range. The Rochester navy lighter sailed this morning for Devon port, with stores. The African steam-tug. which left, as supposed, yesterday for Sheerness, returned in the night with a merchant brig in distress. She had been lent by the Admiral Superin tendent of the dockyard for the above good purpose to Messrs. Garrat and Gibbon, the agents to Lloyd's at this port. THE FOREIGN MAILS.

Its engagements are yet unknown, but they are, by the most likely to be well informed upon the subject, supposed to be to a large amount. A. composition has been offered, but has been declined by many of the creditors. The firm is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in Birmingham, and held the agency for the Copper Company.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. SOUTHALL, Jaw. 27.—At half-past four o'clock to-day an inquest was held by Mr. Wakley, M.P., coroner for the dis trict, assisted by the deputy-coroner, Mr. Mills, on the bodies of Henry Halt and Henry Bishop, the unfortunate sufferers by the accident of Monday last at Southall. The investiga tion took place at the Red Lion Inn, Southall, and the pro ceedings attracted a good deal of interest in the neighbour hood. Mr. Seymour Clarke, superintendent at Paddington ; Mr. Gooch, head of the locomotive department; and several other officials of the company, were present at the proceed ings. Mr. Brunel and Mr. Saunders visited the spot where the accident took place, but did not appear in the room where the inquest was held, The CORONER,iII charging the jury, hoped that they would dismiss from their minds any rumours which they might have heard, and for which there might be no foundation. Some of the jury had expressed a desire to see the tire, and the wheel to which it was attached, by daylight, and there fore he thought it advisable that th e inquiry should not be closed that evening. A good deal of clamour had been raised against railways, but it should be remembered that accidents had happened to coaches, carriages, gigs, and every kind of vehicles used on the roads, in which no blame could be at tached to any person. As, however, the inquest was one to inquire into a very frightful occurrence, and as they were bound to protect human life, they would have to examine the cause of this accident to show the public and the direc tors of the railway themselves what the cause was. They would have to do so, not for the purpose of punishing any party, unless gross negligence was proved, but to prevent any similar calamity in future. It was necessary, therefore, that they should have, on a future day, some witnesses called be fore them who cauld give dispassionate testimony on the sub ject. lie did not mean to say that the witnesses to be called before them on the part of the company were not disinte rested, but it was better in all cases of the kind to have the testimony of persons without the suspicion of bias as to a matter in which the conduct of individuals might be incul pated. The jury then proceeded to view the bodies, and on their return the following evidence was adduced : Joseph Bishop, poultry-dealer at Cowley, and father of one of the deceased, and Thomas Weadon, butcher, of Tooting, brother-in-law of the other deceased, were called, and hav ing been sworn identified the bodies. Bishop was 20, and Halt 27 years of age. John Maydon, the next witness called, stated that he lived at Uxbridge, and was a dealer in cattle. He was in the train at the time the accident happened, and sat beside Henry Bishop, one of the deceased; his father sitting beside Halt. Bishop sat with his back to the engine. Something came with a crush right through the top of the carriage, but he was so frightened, that he did not know anything that happened until he got out. There were five of them inside altogether, and he saw blood, and that Henry Halt was struck. He did not know whether they were killed dead on the spot. He was not hurt, but greatly frightened; so much so, indeed, that he hardly knew what occurred until he got out. His father was much hurt about the thigh, and kept his bed in consequence. Mr. F. W. Austen, station-clerk at Southall, was then called, and said, that being in the station at the time, he ran down at once and opened the carriage in which the accident happened. Halt was sitting, and Bishop had fallen forward into his lap. The carriage which was cut in the roof and much injured, was brought into the goods shed; but both the men had been killed instantaneously, and their brains were scattered about. A juryman—The train was in motion at the time, and just about to stop. I was in it. Witness—A large fragment of the tire lay in the carriage, but the express train went on to London with the damaged wheel, after appearing to stop a short time before it came to the bridge, He had never before known the tire of a wheel to break, though he had been on the line for seven years. John Gauntlett, policeman on the Great Western line at the Southall station, said, that while on duty there about twenty-five minutes past four o'clock, he saw the express train, due at thirteen minutes past four o'clock, go past the station driven by the Queen engine. When past the station about 60 or 70 yards, he saw the tire, in two or three pieces, fly off the driving wheel, and one piece fell on one of the second-class carriages of the four o'clock down train. He at once went to the carriage. The door bad been opened, and a lady who was hurt handed out. The two deceased men were in the carriage, dead; and several of the passengers were slightly hurt. He saw nothing loose or wrong about the express train before the accident happened, and it was going at its usual speed, which was about 50 miles an hour. The engine had been in use for nearly twelve months. The express train was stopped as coon as possible. A juryman—l was in the next carriage to that in which the accident happened, but was aware of nothing till I got out. Wittness—The piece of tire which fell on the carriage was projected into the air to the height of 20 or 30 feet. Its weight had since been ascertained to be 2751 b. James Loxton, inspector of metropolitan police at Hanwell, stated that the bodies of the deceased were removed from the carriage by him. James Almond, engine -driver of the Queen, which drew the express, said that he had been engine -driver on the Great Western Railway for nine years, and about 24 or 25 years engineman for locomotive or stationary engines. On Monday he left Swindon at 56 minutes past two o'clock, three minutes late, with a train of six carriages. The time for arriving at Southall was four hours sixteen minutes, and they were behind some six minutes, which he attributed to the heaviness of road, and the high wind blowing at the time. CORONER—Did yon see the tire break ? Witness—l saw the fire Hy from the tire and the splasher, which is the brass cap to the wheel, and I put my back to the dome and saw the other carriage broken on the down train. I did not see the pieces of the tire fly from the wheel. I did not know exactly what it was that had happened, and could perceive no difference in the running; but in about two minutes, seeing that the tire was gone, I stopped. After wards we went up to London at a diminished speed of 15 or 20 miles an hour. I have seen the pieces of the tire, which are made partly of steel and partly of iron. I have observed the fractures, and though the outside appeared good, the in side does not look sound. The tire is about 1% inches thick, increasing to two inches next the crease: it seems unsound for 11-4 inches, the rest sound. The bad parts look dull and dirty, and the sound quite bright. I should judge three inches broad, by 1 inches in depth, bad, out of five inches of breadth. There is no means that I know of besides that of sight for ascertaining how much of the tire is bad. No accident of the kind has ever happened before to that engine; but about seven months ago the whole tire of the &Hone, en engine which came from Nasmyth and Gaskell's works at Manchester, broke off in five pie ces . Thi s occurre d a b out two miles and a half below Slough. That case was similar to the present, and I reported it to the foreman at Swindon. We were asked if we ran against anything, and we answered not. We always examine the engine ourselves in every part of it before starting, and on arriving at the end of our trip, and if there is anything wrong, we report it. I did so in the pre sent case examine the wheels and the springs, as is my invariable custom. After a tire is once placed on the wheel, we have no means of ascertaining whether it is sound or not. The CORONER—Did you ever see a tire unsound before it was put on ? Witness—Yes, I have ; and it was condemned. The " weld " appeared unsound outside, and showed itself. Such accidents are not of frequent occurrence, and it never happened to more than one before. The tires of the other wheels are fixed on in the same way as that on the driving wheel. The CORONER—Are the driving-wheels subject to more use than others? Witness—Yes, and by their size the tire is more apt to come off them. A juryman —Are they riveted on? Witness—No; they are kept on by contraction. A juryman asked whether the tire of a wheel did not fly off last Friday week between Hanwell and the bridge P—The fact was admitted by the officials of the company present. Mr. George Withe Daniel, surgecn, residing at Southall, and passenger in the four o'clock down train, proved that the deaths of the deceased were instantaneous, and had been caused by the injuries they had received from the immense piece of iron which fell on them. Mr. Daniel Gooch was then called, and said, I am superin tendent of the locomotive department of the Great Western Railway Company, and have held that position for nine years. The Queen was built under my inspection at Swindon. The company lay all their tires at the Haigh Foundry, Wigan, Lancashire. I see all tires bought by the company. We have a smith, named John Faucett, living at Swindon, whose duty it is to " block" all tires, and to inspect them. He is an excellent tradesman, and is expressly used for the purpose. If we buy the tires in bars, we give an order for the length required ; if in hoops, for the diameter. About four-fifths of the tire are of wrought iron, and one fifth of steel. I have examined that of the Queen which has given way, and found it unsoundly welded. The welding is a difficult task, requiring great care, and the best workmen will sometimes fail in effecting a good weld. About two thirds of one of the ends in the carriage is bad, but the other fractures appear to be quite bright. We " block" the tires— viz., make them a little less than the size required, and then subject them to a great strain by means of a screw. All tires are subjected to this process in order to test their sound ness. I cannot say how many miles the Queen may have travelled without consulting the books, but probably about 25,000 miles. Tires suffer most in frosty weather, and some times they break from that cause, though Hot in motion. Two instances of the kind occurred last year. The CORONER—Is there any step which you can take, in copse of this accident, to pre ven t a recurrence of it? Witness—l can suggest none, except increased vigi lance on the part of our servants. This tire was bought in the hool. The Corms/ea—Do the manufacturers from whom you buy submit to any penalty for selling badly welded tires ? Wit ness—None, except the loss of credit, and the obligation to replace the tire. The ringing of a tire is no test of its un soundness, and I have heard them, when cracked, sound as clear as a bell under the stroke of the hammer. We have had a good many cases of tires coming off the driving wheel. It is not a common accident, but it is one which we are always prepared for in frosty weather. The CORONER —It is not one which lam prepared for.— i ( h l. o a t u i o g n h , t buter. ) the V fracture lized. Age has no bad effect upon our tires, and some of them have been in constant use since the opening line. The of the line. The weld is the place most liable to give way, and the rate of speed has little to do with such accident, for there is a re cent instance cf the wheel of a luggage train b • reeking, though it only travelled at 15 or 20 miles an hour. The CORONER—You have given your evidence, Mr. Gooch, very frankly and fairly, and we are very much obliged to you for it. Some conversation here ensued as to the scientific gentle, man to be selected as an unbiassed witness on the causes of this singular accident. In the course of it Mr. Gooch ex pressed his readiness to afford any one the coroner might select the fullest possible facilities for forming a fair and just opinion on the subject. No decision was come to on this point when the proceed ings of the evening closed, the Coroner adjourning the in , quest to half-past ten o'clock on Monday next.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 28. The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to day, and took appeal motions. HAVERFIELD V. PYMAL. This case came before the Court upon appeal from the de cision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, ordering the pro duction of certain documents. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ment, gave judgment discharging the order of the Court below with costa. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Jan. 28. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to-day. rEwsox V. PENSON. Mr. BETHELL was proceeding to reply in this case, but at the suggestion of The COURT, the case was ordered to stand over till Mon day, in order to see if the parties could not come to some arrangement. THE HUNGERYORD MARKET COMPANY V. THE CHARING- CROSS-BRIDGE COMPANY-INJ VNCTION. Mr. Bethel', with whom was Mr. Gift'Ord, applied:in this case, upon notice, on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Hungerford Market Company, for a special injunction to restrain the defendants, the Charing-cross-bridge Company, from hinder ing the plaintiffs from enjoying one of the covenants of a lease which had been granted by the Market Company to the Bridge Company. From the statements of the Learned Counsel, it appeared that at the time of obtaining the Act of Parliament for the erection of the bridge, the Market Com pany granted a lease to the Bridge Company of part of the market as an approach to the bridge. In that lease, there was a proviso that steam-boat passengers from the market should have free access across part of the bridge to a float that was to be erected on the eastern side of the first turrett of the bridge. That float bad now been erected, but the Bridge Company had refused to allow passengers to cross the bridge, unless some course was adopted by which it could be clearly shown that the parties were passengers to the steam boats. The adoption of this course it was contended would be highly prejudicial to the Market Company, inasmuch as it would prevent parties going from the market to the steam boats, no less than two millions of passengers having gone by steam-boats from the market during the last year by means of the old float of barges, which the company hail been called upon by the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the River Thames to remove. The Bridge Company had put up a hoard across the passage to the steps to the float, and refused altogether to perform the covenant contained in the lease, of granting free access to all steam-boat passengers from the market, across the bridge, as far as the steps to the float. In this state of things the Hungerford Market Company, having done all in their power to arrange matters, but finding .the Bridge Company inexorable, had no other course to pursue than to apply to the Court and ask for its injunction to restrain the defendants from pursuing the course they were adopting, thereby giving to the plaintiffs, the Hungerford Market Company, the benefit of the covenant in the lease to which they were entitled, and to the public those facilities for communication to the steam-boats which they so much wanted. He therefore submitted that the course pursued by the Bridge Company was altogether unjustifiable, and one which the Court would never sanction. Repeated negotiations on the subject had taken place between the two companies, but the proposition of one day was rejected the next. These negotiations had as mimed such . a character at one period, that he vas sure, when he came to read them to the Court, his Honour would be almost led to believe they were negotiating between potentates, rather than between gentlemen forming two important companies. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—You mean, I suppose, that the negotiations are more like protocols than anything else. Mr. BETHELL—Just so, Sir. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read, at considerable length, the affidavits on Jehalf of the application, detailing minutely the resolutions that had been come to, and the negotiations that had taken place. The VICE-CHANCELLOR wished to know what was the case on the part of the defendants? Mr. ROLT, who, together with Mr. Bigg, appeared as Counsel for the Charing-cross-bridge Company, observed, that he should rather have expected the Court to have asked what was the case of the Hungerford Market Corn pany.—(A laugh.) The case of the defendants was founded, as no doubt the Court had some slight notion, on the lease. The VIcE-CHANcELLea--As to the negotiations, they all go for nothing. Mr. BOLT said that the only point between them turned upon the covenants in the lease. The plaintiffs had thought fit, for the support of their own case, to read certain resolutions and negotiations that had taken place; those negotiations had nothing to do with the question now in dispute. The defen dants contended that the construction put upon the covenant in the lease by the plaintiffs was altogether an erroneous one. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the affidavits on behalf of the defendants, in answer •to those filed by the plaintiffs. The VICE-CIIANaELLOR wished to know whether the point in dispute was such a one as was capable of being decided by an action upon the covenant. Mr. GlFFARD—Certainly. Mr. ROLT said it was quite clear that such an injunction as had been asked by the plaintiffs, without their having been in possession of their legal rights, or without a legal decision, could not be granted. Mr. BETHELL said, that if the plaintiffs could bring any action, they would do so. It was utterly impossible that the Market Company could part with that which was worth at least 3,0001. a year to them. Mr. ROLT said that the Bridge Company had offered to the Market Company everything to which they were en titled. Mr. BETHELL observed that that was for the Court to de cide. When his Honour had stated his opinion to be that the Market Company were bound to distinguish every steam boat passenger, then his Learned Friend (Mr. Bolt) might say, and not till then, that the Bridge Company had offered them everything to which they were entitled. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that his clients were entitled to the injunction which they asked for. The Market Company had performed their part of the covenant in the lease, and having done so they were entitled to call upon the defendants to perform theirs. There could be no doubt the true construction of the covenant was, that free access should be given to all steam. boat passengers across the bridge from the market end to the first tower, where the float was placed, and he would leave it to the Court to determine, after the statements in the affi davits he had read, whether that free access had been given. If the Court wished the case to go to law, the plaintiffs would take it there, but the injunction, he submitted, must be granted in the meantime. If the Court sent a case to a court of law, he hoped it would be directed to the Court of Common Pleas, because it might be tried next term. At the conclusion of the arguments of Mr. Bethell, on behalf of the plaintiff, the further consideration of the case was adjourned till Monday next, the last day of term. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MUTLOW V. MUTLOW. This was a motion on the part of the plaintiff, defendant's creditors and trustees, in this suit, against a purchaser, for the payment into Court of certain money. It appeared that the real estate of the testator, consisting of two undivided thirds in the property in question, together with the remain ing third had been directed to be sold, and one of the condi tions of the sale was, that the purchase money of a portion of the property should be paid into Court. Mr. Pigott appeared in support of the motion, and Mr. Lea for the purchaser. His Howoun considered that the petitioners were entitled to seek their own banker, in which light he must regard the officer of the Court, and, therefore, he was of opinion that the money should be paid into Court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 28, THE CORPORATION OF LONDON V. FLOCKTON AND OTHERS. The defendant in this case and three other persons, named Parsons, Knowell, and Manning, had pleaded guilkc- to having erected a pier at Paul's Wharf, belonging to the Watermen's Company. They now came up to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. Justice ParrEsou, in passing sentence, said they had pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged them with having constructed a pier which was a nuisance to the navi gation of the river. They had first pleaded not guilty, but subsequently they withdrew that plea and pleaded guilty. It appeared, however, that the pier was not removed after they had so pleaded, and that it re mained in use until, he believed, the 19th of November last. It was then removed for a short time, but it was again re placed. The defendant Flockton was the principal offender, inasmuch as he was a director and manager of the com pany, and the pier was constructed under his instructions the other defendants having only acted as servants under his: directions; but the Court was willing to believe the statement in his affidavit, that he had no thing to do with the subsequent re-construction of the pier, and that at that time the property in it had reverted to another company. It was, at first, supposed that that transfer was collusive, or at least with the understanding and knowledge that those to whom it was transferred should re erect it, but the Court was willing to believe that it was not clone with that intention. It had been urged in their behalf that the corporation had erected piers equallyobjectionable in various parts of the Thames, one especially cf a permanent character, having been pressed upon the attention of the Court ; but the Court could not look upon such piers as being nuisances, nor could they express any opinion whether indictments ought or ought not to be lodged against them. It was clear that the pier in question was a nuisance to the navigation ; and as they did not abate it at once, or when they pleaded guilty in June last, the Court could not pass over the offence so leniently as they otherwise might have felt disposed to do, and the Court wished it to be fully understood--he did not know whether those who had bought the pier were present— , but the Court wished them fully to understand that if they continued a pier, which was a nuisance to the navigation of the river, notwithstanding a jury had taken cognizance of the matter, and declared that the pier was most objectionable, the Court would certainly visit such an offence with severe punish ment, because they could not suffer persons wilfully and openly to disobey the law, and to do that which they knew they had no right to do. They also wished it to be distinctly under stood by those who acted under the new company with re spect to the pier, even although they might act under the orders of other people, that they could not escape but with severe punishment. He then sentenced Flockton to pay a fine of 201., and to be imprisoned in the Queen's Bench until it was paid; and the other defendants to pay a fine of Is. each, and to be simil ar l y imprisoned until the same were paid. He advised them to take care that they did not commit a like a offence. The defendants, we understand, paid the fine. THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE GUARDIANS OF PADDINGTON V. JOHN WATSON. This case was tried here during the last term. The de fendant, who is a retired tradesman, was indicted for inde cently assaulting a girl, aged 12, in Paddington church yard, and for indecent exposure. The more serious part of the charge was not maintained, but the jury found the de fendant guilty of having indecentiy :exposed himself in a public place. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL now prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant. Sir FREDERICK . , THESIGER moved on behalf of the de fendant to enter a verdict of not guilty instead of guilty, and also in arrest of judgment. The first count, the one on which the verdict was returned, set forth that the offence was committed in a " certain open and public place called Paddington churchyard, in the sight and view of divers of her Majesty's subjects then and there." Now he contended that the churchyard was not a public place. It was enclosed with iron rails. There were two parallel paths, which were public paths, but the offence was alleged to have been committed 140 yards from both. The day was the 24th of December, and the time after half-past four o'clock, a time of the year when the sun went down at four o'clock, and when it was impossible for any one standing on the paths to have seen persons at the distance of 140 yards. This was the first time an indictment had been framed against a person for exposing himself to one person. In the books he found the case of the King r. Sir Charles Sedgley, which was an indictment at common law for exposing his naked body in a balcony in Covent-garden, to a "great multitude of people," and he was fined 2,000 marks. Then there was another case, namely, an indictment against a person for exposing himself by bathing, at the East Cliff, Brighton, in the_ presen ce o f a great number of persons. Chief Baron °4 " 194414 Le l 4 that the act was a misdemeanour. He said it might have been a very innocent act sane years before, when it was not a place of public resort; it might also have been a blameless act, at one time, to have stripped oneself naked in Montagu-fields, but the same could not be said of Russell-square, which was built in those fields. Therefore, whatever outraged common decency was misde meanour at common law. An exposure must be public to be a misdemeanour, and anything short of that would not bring it under this definition. _ Lord thiNMAN said in this case it could not be said that this offence amounted to a public exposure, and agreed to the application. THE QIEEN V. JAMES NUTT ON ANN OTHERS.-CONSPIRACY, This was an indictment against James Button, George Button, Thomas Corduroy, and William Wellesford, for con spiring to defraud their employer, Mr. Lewis a dyer, in Oxendon-street, by dying articles with his materials for their profit. The last-named defendant had pleaded guilty : the others were found guilty. It appeared that all the persons employed by the prosecutor were permitted to dye articles belonging to them selves and their families free of expense. Twenty-one years ago Mr. Lewis entered into an arrangement with James Button, who was his foreman, to deposit in his name 150/. a year, which, however, was to be forfeited if Button committed any act which might render him amen able to the law. Since the finding of the indictment Mr. Lewis had sold out the amount, which had accumulated to 2,000/. The parties now came up to receive judgment, but the Court, on the application of Mr. Sergeant Allen, acceded to a rew triai. COURT OF CUiJMUfv PLEAS, Jan. 28. This Court was engaged i all the foren oon w i t h a part heard demurrer case, of no interest whatever to any one but the parties concerned. IN RE MRS. SII UTTLEWORTIL —ALLEGED LUNACY. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he appea re d on b e h a lf o f Dr. Millingen, in answer to a writ of habeas corpus, issued on Monday last, to bring up the b o d y o f M artha Eliza Rhoda Shuttleworth. The lady in pursuance of that writ was now in attendance. __— The return of Dr. Millingen to the writ was then put in and read, which set forth, that from the time of the said Mrs. Shuttleworth being placed in his custody at York-house, Battersea, until now, she was lab our i ng un d er delusions, and of unsound mind. The return in support of this allegation cited the medical certificates on which she had been placed in his custody, with the order under the Act of Parliament, which had led to the same. The affidavits on which the rule for the writ had been moved were then read. The first was that of Dr. Quail, who deposed that he had known Martha Eliza Shuttleworth for many years, and that during all the time she was capable of managing her own business. She was perfectly compe tent up to the time of her being taken into custody, since which time she had been placed in a lunatic asylum at Bat tersea, where all access to the deponent or her solicitor was denied. The deponent further stated that a sight of the me dical certificates on which she had been confined had been denied him, and that he believed they were altogether insufficient. The affidavit went on to answer the several allegations made on the other side, as to the habits of the alleged lunatic, which were strongly denied and altogether untrue. Mr. John Austin deposed to a similar effect respeeting the alleged lunacy; as did also Mrs. Caroline Peaching. The latter had known the alleged lunatic for a considerable time, and she had always acted as a perfectly sane person. Several other affidavits were read, deposing to the sanity of Mrs. Shuttleworth, and denying the statement that she was incapable of conducting her business. Counter affidavits were next read in support of the alleged lunacy. The deponents were the Rev- J. C. Rowland, Messrs. Wright and Wilmot, surgeons, and Dr. Millingen, who alleged that when under the charge of Dr. Quail she had been greatly neglected and badly used; that her mind was evidently rambling and unsound, and that it was from feel ings of humanity they had caused her to be removed. Mr. PARRY said he had moved for the writ on two grounds --.3ne was, that the alleged insanity had not been established, and the other was, that the certificates did not confer sufficient authority for taking her into custody. The Learned Gentle man was proceeding, when The Loin) CHIEF JUSTICE intimated it would be better for their Lordships to see the lady first before hearing the argument, and to inquire of her whether she desired to leave her present residence, and to see whether she appeared to be insane or not. It was then arranged that sbe should b 3 taken into the room of the Lord Chief Justice, and examined in the presence of the Learned Judges and the counsel on both sides. Their Lordships then retired. On their return, The LORD CHIEF-Jusna said it was perfectly plain, from the interview they had, that the lady had no mind of her own. It was perfectly rambling and unconnected, and she did not express any wish either to leave where she was or remain there. She appeared to have no wish any way. Mr. PARRY said he still maintained that she ought not to be detained in custody, as the authority was insufficient for her detention. The COURT wished to know on whose authority the Learned Gentleman appeared. Mr. PARRT said he appeared on behalf of Dr. Quail. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that some grounds should be set forth why Dr. Quail . interfered. Upon what autho rity did he do so ? Mr. Justice MAULE said it was evident from the lady's statement that she had expressed no wish to leave Dr. Millingen's. If she was sane, as alleged by Mr. Parry, then as she had expressed no desire to leave, nor bad instructed any one to act on her beh a lf , the first ground on which the Learned Gentleman moved on, could not be entertained. Mr. PARRY contended that, whether the lady was sane or not at present, what they had to do with was the state of the lady on the 9th of August last, when she was taken into custody ; and also the validity of th e or d er on which she was paced in the custody of'Dr. Millingen. He maintained the custody was improper, and the ground on which he made that statement were the affidavits adduced. The Act under which the proceedings bad taken place was a public Act of Parliament, and their Lordships should be careful how they construed it, affecting as it did the liber ties of an unfortunate class of individuals. The affidavits filed did prove the sanity of the lady on the 9th of August, and this he wished to press on the consideration of the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought otherwise. He was decidedly of opinion that, according to the affidavits of the Rev. J. C. Rowland and the two surgeons, the lady must have been insane on the 9th of August. No sane woman would have stayed in apartments with one man only, and without female attendants, or have been found in the state she was described when the medical gentlemen were called in. After some further discussion, _ i'heCOunT finally decided that they would neither be consulting the public interest nor the lady's by making any order in the case. The application for the release of the lady must therefore be dismissed. They saw no good to arise from going into the validity of the certifi cates on which she was committed, judging, as they (lid, from the circumstances, that any order they would make, taking her from her present custody, would be to her pre judice end harm. The writ was accordingly dismissed. COURT, Jan. 28. SIR I OTHERS, V. MILLS. PETERSH E L E A .r u ; LC T O. ANDU The plaintiffs in this action are trustees of the Union Bank, and the defendant is a gentleman residing at Greenwich. The action was brought to recover the sum of 101/., paid to the defendant in error. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff's attorney stated the case. The defendant had, in October last, an account with the Union Bank, and there was also another customer of the name of Mills. In October last a person called to pay in a sum of money to the account of a Mr. Mills, but not knowing the christian name, selected that of the defendant, which, with th e other, was named to him, and the amount thus got placed to the credit of the defendant. The pass-book was subsequently made up and sent to defendant, who drew out the amount. When the error was discovered the de fendant was sent to, and on going to the bank admitted that he was aware of the error, but said it suited him at the moment to draw it out, but he would repay it. He had since paid 631. on account, and the action was brought to re cover the balance and interest as on an oven-due account. Mr. Scrimgour, the manager to the bank, was called, and proved the error, and an interview with the defendant., in which the latter made the admission spoken of, and that de fendant lamented that he had drawn the money out, but said he would send it by the next packet. The interest was cal culated at five per cent., as on an over-drawn account. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. HOLROTIII V. BAKER. This was an action to recover the sum of 21. 59. for money lent and goods sold. The plaintiff is an eating-house keeper is the Old Bailey, and the defendant was a customer. The claim was on an I 0 U for 1/. 10s., the remainder was for dinners, &c. Some difficulty, however, existed in proving the items. The plaintiff's ATTORNEE said he had received a letter from defendant's attorney, admitting the debt, but he could not give it in evidence, as it was written " without prejudice." The UNDER-SHERIFF said, if so, the attorney ought not to have alluded to it—the evi dence was ver y sc anty. In the defendant's absence strict ev idence was re q ui red , especially in such a case, which might have been brought in an inferior court without putting defendant to such a great expense. The witness, on being further examined, said that de fendant had admitted that the account for 15s. was correct. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF —If you are satisfied, gen tlemen, I will record your verdict. It is entirely a question for you. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. William Collins, found guilty of pot-stealing, was sen tenced to four months' imprisonment. In passing sentence, The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, if he found this offence of pot-stealing incr ease i n th e same proportion which it ap peared to do latterly, he should feel it his duty to visit the offenders with the severest penalty of the law. George Snzith, for a similar offence, received a similar sentence. Henry Saunders was indicted for stealing a handkerchief, the property of a person unknown. A constable of the H division of police stated, that he was on duty in private clothes, in St. James's-park, when the Queen was going to open Parliament, and saw the pri soner urge two boys, about twelve years of age, to pick a gentleman's pocket. They closed in upon him, when per ceiving him (the policeman), they drew back, upon which the prisoner called them cowards, and said, " that cove is not a Peeler." He urged them on again, but with th e sam e result, , when he str uc k one o f t h em, and getting close behind the gentleman, turned hi s b ac k to him, and took the handkerchief from his pocket. Th e constable t h en s eized hold of the prisoner, when a number of his comp an i o ns tripped them both up, and endeavoured to resc ue him. On searching him at the station-house, four other silk handkerchiefs were found upon him. The constable also stated, amidst considerable laughter, that about five minutes before he saw the prisoner his own handkerchief was stolen out of his pocket. The prisoner was f oun d G u il ty, an d The Learned ASSISTAN T -J UDGE said that, in all cases where lie found persons endeavouring to incite children of tender age to theft, he should inflict the heaviest punishment allowed by the law. The prisoner was such a character, and the sentence of the Court upon him therefore was, that he be transported for ten years. STORM AT LIVERPOOL.--LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. —We ,have experienced a very severe storm here, which commenced shortly after midnight, and continued with un abated strength for several hours. The Dublin mail had to lay. to during the storm. A large American ship, supposed to be the Swatara, is reported outside with loss of masts. The widow of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Faw cett, whose melancholy death in a duel with his brother-in law, Lieutenant Monro, in 1843, will be fresh in the recollec tion of our readers, was married on the Bth inst., at the chapel of the British Embassy, in Florence, to Mr. A. Shaw of the 2d Madras Infantry. PRIZE MONEY.—In the Gazette of Tuesday notice is given to the officers and crew of her Majesty's ship Star, K. J. W. Dunlop, conthiand,r, that an account of the lywnty money on the tonnage, and a moiety of tile sile procud, o; the Diligencia, Brazilian slave schooner, captured on the Bth of February, 1845, will be deposited in the registry of the Admiralty on the 26th of February next, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Edward Carnegie, alias Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Engineers, was brought before the Lord Major for re examination. Mr. Wilkins, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Smith, from whom the prisoner fraudulently obtained 5/. ; and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner, said that he had called at the Athenmum and Carltou Clubs, to both of which the Hon. Captain Carnegie, to whom the prisoner said he was related, belonged, but it was supposed that gentleman, who disclaimed all knowledge of such a person, was out of town, as there were letters at the clubs directed to him. Mr. Smith's (the prosecutor's) evidence, given on Saturday, having been read over by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, Mr. Humphreys cross-examined that gentleman e* consi derable length. The following was the substance : It was on the 7th of January, 1845, 1 was induced, by the prisoner's statement that he was cousin of the Hon. Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Navy, and Mr. Fox Maule, to lend him the 5/. Three months before that my a quaintance commenced with him. I first met him in Coventry-street, Leicester-square, in a coffee-house. It was a casual acquaint ance, and aro-e about an atmospheric railway. Mr. Humphreys—Da you not belie% • aim to be a scientific man? Mr. Smith—ln some respects he certainly is— (Laughter) —but he is by no means mathematical enough to be an engineer. Ido not, upon my oath, believe hint to be what is called a scientific man. Mr. Humphreys—You must be so good as to answer me without drawing upon your wit. Ail 1 want is a straight forward answer. Did he, before he borrowed the 5/., telt you that these two gentlemen were his cousins? Mr. Smith— Four or five times. I think the first time he mentioned it was in the early part of Novem. er, 1844. He told me when I saw him first that he had a patent for an atmospheric railway. Mr. Humphreys—Were you not very intimate with him ? Mr. Smith—No. Mr. Humphreys—Were you not so intimate with him as to receive presents from him, and to make presents to his wife? Mr. Smith—l received a book from him, and I re turned it to him. I never made a present to the Countess de Beaumont, except a rosette, which represented a thistle, and to which her Ladyship took a fancy, as a similar one was worn by Sir Henry Pottinger, who was a steward at the dinner at which we were—(Laughtei)—nothing further. Mr. Humphreys—Have you seen him on board steam boats? Mr. Smith—l think I saw him in the early part of 1845 in a Woolwich steam-boat, and tie bolted as soon as we reached the first station. It was between London and Black friars-bridges. He saw me go to the captain. I meant to give him in charge, but he was too quick and clever, and he cut off as soon as possible. Mr. Humphreys—Did you know that he was in the Queen's Bench Prison for debt? Mr. Smith—Not till Mr. Turner, the silversmith, who has suffered considerably by him, told me of that fact. Mr. Humphreys—Do you not know that that debt was settled ? Mr. Smith—l heard that it was compromised for half-a-crown in the pound.—(Laughter. ) Re-examined by Ms. Wilkins—He did rot borrow the money until after he had introduced me at a merchant's office in Lime-street of the highest respectability. He in troduced me there as an engineer, and recommended me as qualified to serve the firm in that capacity. He appeared to be known at the house as Captain Carnegie, and he on that day said he had been brought up at the Woolwich Royal Academy, and that he was the cousin of the Honourable Captain Carnegie and Mr. Fox Maule. He and the Coun tess walked with me thence to my office in White Lion court, and he said he had forgotten his purse at home, and he wanted to go shopping with the Countess, so I gave him the money at my office. Mr. Goodman said the presence of the Hon. Captain Car negie was necessary. Mr. Wilkins said he had no doubt of the prompt attend ance of that gentleman if he happened to be in town. Mr. Humphreys said he knew the Lord Mayor had no disposition to send a case before a jury, except there appeared to be a probability of conviction. Now, the present case had nothing of a positiveness about it. It was brought for ward upon a particular statute, which required that the false pretence should have been made at the time the pro pel ty was obtained, and the fraud must have been grounded upon that immediate pretence, taking the victim off his guard, and inducing him to do that wnich but for the present representation he would not have done. Now, there was nothing at all new in the transactions of the 7th of January, when the money was obtained. The pretence of the relationship had been made over and over again, and not a tittle was said of which the prosecutor was not long. cognizant. It was to be attributed to the whole of the con duct of the person from the commencement of the acquaint ance that the prosecutor parted with the money. That conduct had created a confidence and an intimacy, and the loan sprung out of the variety of circumstances detailed by Mr. Smith. It would be idle to think of a conviction in such a case. Mr. Wilkins said, that Mr. Humphreys wished to make the Lord Mayor decide a most important point of law. The case appeared to him to want a very little more confirmation. It was riot to be supposed that a man who had a design upon another would at once go up to him and say, "I am the cousin of such or such a great man, and I'll thank you to lend me 51." Some previous preparation was necessary, and the prisoner showed that he did not want skill in arrang ing matters so as to inspire further confidence. He (Mr. Wilkins) could, by and by, produce witnesses who would show that neither Carnegie nor Beaumont was the prisoner's name; and he requested that his Lordship would remand the prisoner till Monday. The Lours MAYOR—I have heard quite sufficient to en title you to claim a remand until that day. BO U'-S TRE ET. John Parkisson was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with exposing a quantity of putrid fish for sale in Clare-market. The beadle of Clare-market said that the prisoner was selling fish in a state of decomposition, at " two for a half penny." The smell from his barrow was exceedingly offen sive. On being taken in charge by witness, he said that he bought the fish at a fair price, and did not know it was so bad, but if he would let him go he would destroy it. The prisoner in defence said that lie really Aid not observe that the fish was bad when he bought it. He pail four shillings for the barrow full.- He would destroy it if he was discharged. Mr. HALL discharged him, but ordered the fish to be de tained and destroyed by the police. SOUTHWARK. Burfield, night porter at the Catherine Wheel Inn, in the Borough, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged on suspicion with stealing a pocket-book containing 3001., consisting of 100/. and four 50/. Bank of England notes, the property of Mr. Francis Skipper, residing at Kingston-on-Thames. The complainant stated that he lived at Kingston, from which place he arrived in town on the preceding day, and with a friend, a Mr. James West, went and dined at Drum mond's Hotel, in the New-road, Marylebone. As they in tended to visit the Princess's Theatre the same evening, before they left the hotel he deposited his pocket-book, con taining a 100/. note and four 50/. Bank of England notes, inside his left boot, a practice which he had adopted on pre vious occasions for safety : the leg of his trousers being strapped down tightly underneath the boot rendered such a place of depository less liable to an accident. Subsequently to quitting the theatre he and his friend got into a cab, and called at different places, after which they proceeded to the Catherine Wheel Inn in the Borough, where they intended to sleep, and where they arrived at about a quarter before five o'clock that morning. Previously to alighting from the vehicle and entering the inn-yard, he distinctly felt that his pocket- book was safe in the leg of his boot, and he and his friend were shown up to a bed-room situated in the gallery, which surrounded the inn yard, by the prisoner, who attended with a candle, and assisted first Mr. West in pulling off his boots. Afterwards the prisoner attended upon him, and while he (complainant) sat upon the foot of the bed the prisoner pulled off his left boot, and the moment he did so he exclaimed that he had left the gates open, and that he must hasten and look them, or the yard would be robbed. On saying these words the prisoner hurried out of the room with the boot, and coin plainant at the moment forgetting the pocket-book was in side made no remark, hut in a moment afterwards recollect ing the circumstance, went into the gallery and called back the prisoner. The latter returned in a tew minutes, and when he was informed that the pocket-book containing the money was in the boot he had taken away, his reply was, that he knew nothing about it, and that he was certain no thing of the kind was there, and ran and fetched the boot to prove he was correct. Complainant, confident that the pocket-book, with its contents, had been in the boot up to the period he got into the bed-room, and that it mutt have been seen by the prisoner in pulling off the boot, expressed his determination to have it restored, adding, at the same time, that he should call in a policeman to examine the place for it. Upon hearing these words, the prisoner immediately threw open his coat and waistcoat, pulled inside out all his pockets to show that he had not got it, and sail he should call up his master to acquaint him with the serious nature of the imputation that was made upon his character. Complainant then intimated his wish to descend from the room to call a policeman, hut the prisoner requested that his master might be apprized of what had happened be fore resorting to that step. Complainant acceded, and Mr. Gunder, the landlord, was aroused from his bed, and in formed of the circumstance, and he proceeded with them to examine the bed-room, to see whether the pocket-book and its contents might not have dropped on the floor in pulling the boot off. No discovery, however, was made, and complainant then proposed a second time to send for a policeman, when the landlord interposed, spoke of the honesty of his servant, who had been with him eight years, and said that he was convinced the man had not taken the pocket-book, and, therefore, there was no use in making any noise about it to disturb his other lodgers. Complainant, however, insisted on it, an d descended into the y ar d f or the purpose, but finding the gate locked l returne4 and, having reiterated his determination on the subject, he was then accompanied by the prisoner, who unlocked the gate leading from the inn yard into the street, and a policeman was then called in and informed of the whole of the circumstances. Another exa mination of the room and other places below was then made, but the property was not found. In reply to Mr. SHCKER, the complainant said, that he and his friend were perfectly sober (a fact which was borne out by Mr. Inspector Yates, who took down the charge at the station-house when the prisoner was brought there), and that the prisoner was about five minutes absent when he left the room with the boot which contained the pocket-book to lock the yard gates. Mr. James West stated that he was present when the com plainant placed the pocket-book and its contents in his left boot at Drummond's Hotel. The witness confirmed that part of the complainant's statement relative to his having missed the pocket-book in the bedroom of the above inn, and the subsequent conduct of the accused and his master when it was proposed to send for a policeman to search the former, as well as that part of the premises where it. was likely the pocket-book would have been concealed in the event of its having been taken by the prisoner.

He soon after commenced business on his own account, in a small way; and by un wearied industry and perseverance, gradually es' ablished a respectable connexion. He was amongst the first, a quarter of a century ago, to see the new era of printing that was opened by the introduction of the steam-dress; and his engines at Northumberland-court were the earliest ap. plied to the production of books. The demand for cheap literature, of which the Penny Magazine was the most extraordinary example, gave a new im pulse to the energies of Mr. Clowes ; and, in connexion with a vast amount of Government business, gradually es tablished the gigantic printing manufactory of Duke-street, Stamford -street, so often described and so celebrated wher ever English books penetrate. To have accomplished the great results of his business from small beginnings required the efforts of no common man. Mr. Clowes did not aspire to the honours of the learned printers; but he possessed the highest powers of business organisation, and an energy which overcame every ordinary difficulty, and in many in stances accomplished undertakings which are almost marvels. To work off half-a-million sheets of paper in a week—to set up the types and complete the impression of a thousand folio pages of a Parliamentary report in the same time—to print the "Nautical Almanac," consisting of 500 or 600 pages of figures, without a single error, in 16 or 17 days, are amongst the recorded wonders of Mr. Clowes's establishment. The labours of Mr. Clowes's life will be permanently assoc i ated with the intellectual development 'end the persevering energy which are distinguishing characteristics of our own own times; and his loss will be deeply lamented by a large circle of friends, to whom he was endeared by his kind and gene rous nature. same person desire the complainant not to make such a noise about the affair to disturb the other lodgers. The policeman added that, at the complainant's request, he took the pri soner into custody, and to the station-house. Mr. Ghnder said that, when he was awoke and informed ! of the circumstances, he (lid say that he was confident of his servant's honesty—that he proposed searching the bedroom, and in fact rendered every assistance himself, and that it was unjust to insinuate that he threw any imepediments in the way of discovery; and that his only motive in requesting the complainant to be more quiet during the examination the room was that the rest of the guests in the house might not be disturbed at such an u , seasonable hour. The prisoner, in defence, declared that he knew nothing whatever about the pocket-book or its contents; that lie as sisted in pulling offone of the complainant's boots, and was proceeding to take off the other, when he recollected he had left the yard gate unlocked, and he theie,f-re harried out of the room to fasten it, intendi,g to return tin:iv:that ely whin he did it. He heard the complainant c it him back, a:id lie returned with the boot, which in his burrs he had taken out of the room; but he could assure the Magistrate there was no pocket-book in it, and he thanked God that he had a clear conscienc., and was it:nocent of the tff.:rite with which he was charged. baisEtt considered the landlord'- conduct reprehen sible in thwarting the complainant's exertions to discover, if possible, what had bec,me so large a sum of motley, which he wa confident he had tali; a into, the house. What the landlord's duty would have been was to have instantly called in a policeman, and not have permittee' the man agtitist whom the accusation was made to leave the room and go about the premises, by which he could have had ample time and oppor , uni,y of secreting the property. Altogether he h•glily disapprove 4 of such conduct, which tended to give facility for the escape of a deli quest, and that instead of his eiideai ouring to scree❑ an offender in his ser vice, it was his duty to render all the assistance in his power in the detection and punishment of such a person. He (the magistrate) would, therefore, advise the proprieter of the Ca therine Wheel to act differently in future when any cf his guests were plundered in his house, and not throw obstach s in the way of discovery, or probably he might get lintself into a very serious dilemma. Mr. Guilder said that he could not see his conduct was blamable in the transaction, and that he had rendered all the assistance he could, although unattended with success, in attempting to discover the 300/. .Mr. SECKER then said that he should remand the pri soner until next Monday, and in the meantime give in structions that no time should be lost in making a further and more minute search for the pocket-book and its contents. Application was then made to bail out the prisoner, who was liberated in the course of the day, on his entering into his own recognisance of 2001., and finding two sureties of 100/. each, his master offering himself as one of his bail. GI?EEiVIVICH. THE LATE CHARGE OF FESONY Al' MAIZE HIEL. Frew g Coley ate, alias Lockett, George Phillips, and John Jones were brought up for further examination, harged with secreting themselves in a cave under the enclosed grounds of A. Soames, Esq., of Vanbrugh-fields, Blackheath, for the purpose of committing felony, and also with breaking a por tion of the cell at the station-house. In consequence of a letter which was found amongst the stolen property, a clue to the owners of most of the articles was obtained. This letter was addressed to Master Edward Newman, of the Upper School, Greenwich Hospital, and, on the facts of the case being communicated to Sir Robert Stopford, Bart., in formation was obtained that about the Bth or 9th inst. the lockers belonging to the boys of the Naval School bad been opened, and numerous boxes stolen therefrom; the said rob beries having been effected by persons who must have scaled the park wall into the asylum -grounds, and escaped with the plunder in the same way. An officer, in charge of ab ou t a d ozen o f t h e b oys from the Naval School, attended, and each identified the pro perty respectively missing from the lockers. Police-sergeant Smith said lie had made further inquiry since the first examination, and discovered that the " cave " in which the prisoners were found, had formerly been an ice -house, and not being required by a subsequent tenant, was filled up. The entrance to the cave is about two feet by two feet six wide; about fifty feet of it a man might stand erect in. Police-•constable Patmore deposed being spoken to by ➢ir. Soame3, and going with that gentleman to the spot, to his discovery of the prisoners by means of a dog, and to smoking them out by burnt straw. l'he prisoners denied all knowledge of the stolen property. Mr. TRAIL', said he should again remand the prisoners. PhiHipps, with tears in his eyes, declared his innocence, and was about to explain his conduct, saying that he could call witnesses to prove that he had slept at home &zing- the nights in question, when Mr. TRAILL remarked that he bad better reserve what he bad to say, and in the meantime con , ult with his friends as to the course he ought to take under the circumstances. The prisoners were then removed from the dock, Phillipps being placed in a cell by him-elf. It is believed that he will make disclosures of importance on the next examination. MELANCHOLY DISASTER at SEA. LIVERPOOL ? WEDNESDAY.—A melancholy duty devolves upon us to-day to chronicle the loss of the captain, first and second mates, five seamen, and a boy, belonging to one of our noble packet-ships. The Colum!,is, Captain Rathbone, left New York on the 2d inst.; on the 13th a gale sprung up, and while scudding before it the whole nine men were swept suddenly from the deck by a sea and hurried into eternity, amidst the waste of waters. Five days after the ;1143 - was fallen in with, without a com mander, and in distress, by the Lady Falkland, arrived at this port from New Orleans this morning. The Lady Falk land put her mate on board the Columbia to navigate her to Liverpool. The Columbia ha 3 not yet arrived ; but she was perfectly tight, and will, no doubt, be heard of in a short time. The Lady Falkland experienced a buceession of vio lent gales during the last 16 days. A few words are due to the memory of the gallant and la mented dead. We never knew a man more estimable than Captain Rathbone. As a professional man he had no su perior, and to him we owe the discovery of the short route across the Atlantic. As a private individual there was none more gentlemanly, more humane, or more noble in all the qualities that rerder man worthy of esteem, than Captain Rathbone. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Between the hours of one and two o'clock on Wednesday morning a dreadful fire broke out in the spacious premises belonging to Mr. Challener, situated on the east side of Mason-street, near %Yapping, Liverpool, which destroyed buildings and other property to a very considerable amount. It seems to have originated in a wooden shed used by Mr. Challener as a place of temporary deposit for flour: but, as in most cases of the kind, the cause of its origin is involved in impenetrable mystery. The alarm was instantly conveyed to the fire station, and Mr. Hewitt lost no time in sending the engines to the spot, but in the meantime the high wind which prevailed that night, aided by the fury of the devour ing element, speedily ignited the adjacent property. From the wooden shed the flames were carried across a yard to Mr. Challener's stable, which was burnt down; and we regret to add that a fine horse which was in the stable was also burnt to a cinder. The fire next communicated with Mr. Chal lener's large warehouse, which was used partly as a flour store and partly as a block manufactory. This fine building was entirely gutted. The roof, joists, and floors gave way at an early period, and nothing now remains but the bare walls. The property consumed in this building was to a very great amount. Three of the rooms were fully stored with flour, and th e ot h er roams contained a large stock of with and steam machinery, the whole of which have been either wholly destroyed or rendered utterly useless. The fire next communicated with a fine warehouse belonging to Mr. Thomas Booth, the corn-merchant, and this warehouse also, together with the whole of its contents, has likewise been destroyed. The roof and floors have been burnt through, and the bare walls only are standing. A second warehouse belonging to Mr. Booth, and a large warehouse belonging to Messrs. Lodge and Pritchard, on the east side of Hurst-street, both took fire, but, owing to the vigorous exertions of the firemen, they were only partially damaged. A small dwelling-house adjoining Mr. Challoner's warehouse was also on fire for a short time, and its preservation is en tirely owing to the efforts of the firemen. Too much praise cannot indeed be given to Mr. Hewitt and the men under Ins command, for their promptness and energy; and, when it is considered that they had to contend against flames which spread almost with the rapidity of lightning, and raged with ungovernable fury, the wonder is that the entire of the pile of buildings which skirt Mason-street on the one hand, and Hurst -street on the other, were not entirely laid in ruins. Mr. Challener informed us that he was insured in the Star office, and no doubt Mr. Booth is also insured. The large block manufacturing premises of the former gentleman, which have now been consumed, were the most complete in Liverpool, they having been built expressly for the purpose at great expense. Several ergines are still engaged in pla. - i,ng upon the smouldering pile, and large crowds of persons are assembled in all the adjacent streets. No correct esti mate can as yet be formed of the value of the property de stroyed, but, doubtless, it will amount to several thousand pounds.—Liverpool Courier.
