HAMPTO PALACE. The great Gothic Hall of Hampton Court Palace, better known, perhaps, as Wolsey's Hall, was re-opene d to the public on Saturday last, and is now pr ob a bl y the finest and most brilliantly embellished building in Europe. The large windows, thirteen in number, on the e north e and south sides of the hall , have been filled with is stained glass, in a style harmonising with the noble windows at the east and west extremities, and by the same artist, Mr. Willement. The compartments of the east and west windows are occupied by the arms of Henry VIII. and those of his house. The subjects of t h e thirteen new windows now added by Mr. Wille ment, are the armorial pedigrees of the six wives of Henry VIII. With Hampton Court Palace the names of Henry VIII and Cardinal Wolsey are indissolubly connected, and it has been considered proper to perpetuate in this hall, by suitable decorations and ornaments, the memory of the munificent founder of this royal residence and that of his sovereign in close alliance. Hampton Court Palace, as most of our readers re member, was built by Wolsey, who presented it to the royal tiger, his master. The great hail was designed by Wolsey, and finished by Henry VIII., when Ann Boleyn was in the height of favour. It is 106 feet long, 40 wide, and 60 high. The roof is elaborately carved, and the noble proportions of the hall, when first beheld, fill every mind with dt light. The large window at the east end is filled with stained glass, representing, es we have stated, the arms of Henry VIII. and his ancestors, with the arms of England, France, Ireland, &c. It also con tains a half-length portrait of the monarch. The oppo site window, at the west end of the hall, presents another (whole-length) portrait of Henry, with the arms of the other sovereigns of the Tudor family. The large oriel window at the south side, also executed by Mr. Willement, contains the arms of Cardinal Wolsey, with those of the see of York and of his four bishoprics. The banners, armour, some of the tapestry, and the por traits, have reference to the same exalted personages, or to the period in which they lived. With the view of making the Great Hall in its entire embellishments illustrative of the reign and history of Henry VIII., the arms of his six Queens have been selected as the subjects of the new stained glass windows of which we have now to speak. These windows are each upwards of 20 feet in height, and of great width, and when we state that the whole of the light admitted into the building now passes through richly coloured glass, it will easily be imagined that the coup d'ail on entering the ball is very striking and magnificent. The armorial pedigrees of the Queens commence at the bottom of the left sides of six of the windows, and are continued in richly emblazoned arms until they approach the top, when they proceed to the right. On approach ing the opposite side of the window they descend until they retch the foot, where the arms of each Queen are seen impaled with those of Henry. The compartments in the centre of these windows are of a light ground, and contain black letter scrolls having reference to the various coats of arms. It is worthy of remark that the whole of the six Queens of Henry VIII. trace their descent from Edward I. of England. Thus the scroll ap pended to the heraldic tree of Wolsey's illustrious Queen bears the inscription "Katharine of Arragon, first wife of Henry VIII.; her pedigree from Edward I. and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile." Anne Boleyne's pedigree is traced to Edward I. and the second wife of that monarch, Margaret of France; Jane Seymour to Edward I. and Eleanor; Anne of Cleves to Edward I. and Eleanor; Katharine froward to Edward I. and Mar garet of Frarce; Katharine Parr to Edward I. and Eleanor. It will thus be observed that the "Defender of the Faith," in selecting the partners of his throne and bed, by no means overlooked the claims of birth and illustrious descent. If, too, as some hare supposed, a man of great strength of mind and force of character transmits some of his personal characteristics and pecu liarities through several successive generations, nothing will appear more remarkable than the strong .affinity which the " bluff King Hal" must hove felt for these characteristics (s hether of mind or body) as represented is the persons of the female descendants of Edward 1.-- except, perhaps, his wonderful haste to repudiate and get rid of his fair cousins, after he had obtained the gratification of his desires. The alternate windows to those we hare described each contain the eight heraldic badges of Henry VIII., the Tudor rose, the Fleur-de-lis, the portcullis, the red dragon, &c., within separate wreaths of foliage. These insignia, placed in different compartments of the window, do not occupy a great deal of space ; and, being set off by a light ground, formed of small yellow letters and devices rum ing obliquely across the window, painted upon white, the rich colours of the insignia are not only shown to greater advantage, but these alternate windows, by their chaste and more quietslight, bring out by con trast the splendid crimson emblazonments of the armorial pedigrees. Mr. Willement has been very happy in his crimsons ; and when a July sun shall pour his strung radiance through the stained windows until the stone pavement appears to he inlaid with blushing c o lours, the rich yet softened light of the great hall will be a welcome relief from the glare of the neon-day snn without. We have been thus far minute in our description of the new embellishments at Hampton -court Palace, from a desire to see the highest artistic talent in the country finding honourable and lucrative em pleyrnent in the pursuit of a long-neglected branch of the fine arts. When we remember the cold and cheerless aspect of most of our cathedrals and ecclesiastical edifices, from the absence of those stained glass windows, which at ones ministered to the religious sentiment and infused a sense of bodily warmth and comfmt, we shall perceive how wide a field is open to men of science and painters of genius who may endea vour to perfectionate this branch of high and devotional art. The Government are making a wise and enlightened exercise of their patronage i I doing what they can to stimulate and encourage the art of staining in glass, and, as the English school of painters is acknowledged to excel all other existing schools in colouring, there seems no reason why our church and cathedral stained-glass windows should not, if possible, excel the chefsdauere of the modern Munich artist. The number of visitors at Hampton Court during the past year has never been c xceeded in any former season, notwithstanding the" fresh fields and pastures new" offered to the public by the various railway companies in the shape ofcheap excursion trains uponthe gt sat holidays. It is gratifying to state that the lib: rality of the Woods and Forests was properly appreciated by the public, and that no damage whatever worthy of being mentioned was committed either upon the trees and shrubs, or the pic tures in the galleries ; on the contrary, the sense of a paternal Government, and of its opportunities of dif fusing happiness, w, re probably never more pleasurably impressed upon the minds of the hundreds of thousands of the humbler classes who visited Harnpt. n court. Notwithstanding the increasing. number of visitors to Hampton-court, we may be permitted to doubt whether the present attractions of the palace and gardens arc known as universally as they doseeve to be. In the spring hundreds of pilgrims make a special journey to Hampton court from the metropolis, to see the splendid avenue of chestnuts in full blossom in Bushy-park. A little later in the summer the avenues of limes fill the air with their rich fragrance. About the middle of Juno the parterres of Hampton Court resemble a rose garden, such is the profusion of roses and the delightful perfume they exhale. In the autumn the wondrous vine, the dahlias, and the tints of the departing year, furnish new objects of interest. Every Saturday afternoon, during the fine weather, the band of the cavalry regiment quartered a Hampton Court and Hounslow plays for two or three hours opposite the great cast front of the palace, at which time the gardens receive most of the aristocratic visitors Hampton Court. Saturday is the fashionable day par excellence, and the groups of well-dressed ladies teen in various parts af the grounds, surrounded by the choicest precluei ions of Flora, furnish pictures worthy of Breughel. The deterioration in the physique of our pepulatien is a matter of so much national moment that the existence of plales of healthful amusement and out of-door recreation an the neighbourhood of all our large cities and towns ought never to become a matter of indifference to the Go vernment. GAiictA.—The following fact, ....."I,a-feied from a letter dated frontiers of Galicia. the 11th instant, will afford an idea of the frightful anarchy existing in that province :—" In the neighbourhood of Ta: now," says the writer, "r3sides an elderly lady, who, although belong ing to one of the first families in the country, is so be loved by the peasantry, that she continued to reside on her estates during the recent massacres. 'I h. popula tion living on the lands amount to about 1,000 inhabit ants, only one of whom joined the bands which carried murder and devastation through the province. Having lately returned to his home, this wretch was enjoying quietly the fruit of his rapine, when, in the beginning of this month, a party of seven of his companions in crime, entered his dwelling and demanded the money they knew him to be possessed of. On his refusal to acquiesce, they threatened to hang him, and were actu ally preparing to carry their threat into execution. when, perceiving they were serious, he determined on disclosing to them the place where he had concealed his treasure, Once in possession of it those miscreants deliberated among themselves, and one of them having suggested that he would inform on them if they did not put him out of the way, they concurred in the suggestion, and hung the man.'

REMARKABLE SUICIDE.—On Saturday informa tion was forwarded to Mr. Bedford, the coroner, of the suicida of a man named James Berrall, under the follow ing extraordinary circumstances :—The deceased, who was a married man, with a family of five children, was by trade an upholsterer, being what is termed a jobbing_ master, and resided at No. 17, Brown-street, Grosvenor square. Although in humble circumstances he was not in actual want, but he had frequently of late been in the habit of saying that he had an unaccountable dread of the approach of the year 1847, and that as sure as it came he should on the first day of it commit suicide by banging himself. His threats were taken no notice of, but on his landlady going into the washhouse, about lice o'clock on the evening of Friday last, the Ist instant, she found him suspended by a cord tied tightly round his neck, and fastened to a hook in the wall, An inquest %ill be held to morrow (Tuesday).

Mr. Forster, the brother. in law of the late Sir Thomas Fowel Buxton, had entered upon his labours with the utmost anxiety to ascertain the real extent of destitu tion. He has gone amongst the peasantry—ha.s in spected the poor-houses, and, after the most careful inquiries, he has arrived at the cocelusion that the ter rible pictures of suffering, of actual famine, which have been published in the newspapers are borne out to the fullest extent by his personal observation.

The parties have been committed." DESTITUTION IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN. At the meeting of the guardians of the South Dublin Union yesterday, the clerk read the following important report from the Surgeon-General, Sir Philip Crampton, and Dr. Corregan:— " Merrion-square West, Dec. 29, 1846. " Gentlemen,—ln compliance with your resolution of the 24th inst., we have this day visited the workhouse in consultation with your medical officers. " Of the total number of inmates (1,946), 815 are labouring under illness, and a large proportion of these are suffering under dranlica, or dysentery of a very fatal form. "In the process of our examination we were very soon struck with the fact, that the fever accompanying the disease was, in nearly all the cases, of the same low typhoid character; your medical officers are of opinion that the disease is contagious, and in their opinion we fully concur. The great majority of the cases are in persons advanced in life, and relapses are frequent, which circumstance constitutes a serious aggravation of the disease. " Dysentery has prevailed throughout the city and suburbs during the past autumn to a somewhat greater extent than in preceding years, and many of these ad mitted within the last few months into the workhouse laboured under it on admission ; but, nevertheless, its more rapid increase, its assuming the form of an epide mic, the universal similarity of the accompanying fever, and the more fatal character of the disease within the walls of the workhouse, clearly prove that there must be some additional influence of an unfavourable nature ope rating within the institution. " The clothing of the paupers is sufficient, the food and drink, which we examined, appear to be of good quality, and, as your medical officers, in their report of Novem ber 25th, have justly observed, the disease cannot be attributed to the use of Indian meal, because numerous cases of dysentery appeared in the house several weeks before that article of diet was introduced, and numbers of the inmates have been attacked who never used the Indian meal stirabout.' To none of those influences, then, can the disease be attributed ; but, we cannot have any hesitation in attributing to the following circum stances a very great influence in predisposing to aid in propagating the disease : " Ist. To the circumstance that, for some months past, a large proportion of those admitted into the workhouse have been already broken down in constitution ; and many of them, as already noticed, labouring under dy sentery. " 2d. To the circumstance, that in the workhouse itself the wards are so crowded, and the ventilation so deice titre, that disease, no matter how caused at first, must &ion_ acquire and maintain a highly contagious character; and, as is universally the case under such circumstances, will also assume a fatal form, bidding defiance to the efforts of the best medical skill. "We cannot let pass this opportunity of endeavouring to impress this fact strongly upon your attention, that good air is as necessary to the support of health as wholesome food; and that, on the other hand, impure air is not a less certain poison, though it may be some times a little slower, than unwholesome food.' After urging the necessity of improved ventilation, the report rroceeds:— " We minutely examined the nature and progress of the disease in all its stages, the appearance after death, and the remedial measures employed. The result of our inquiry is to be able to assure you that we believe all that medical science and unweary ing attention could do has been done by your medical officers to arrest the pro gress of the malady. We must observe that the labour your medical officers at present undergo is more than, we think, they can continue to endure, and a failure of their energies in their present trying circumstances will be productive of injury to the poor as well as to themselves. Each of the medical officers has now under his care about 270 ratients ; allowing only five minutes, on an average, for seeing each patient, twenty-two hours would be required to go through the whole number ; or supposing that cnly half the number require to be seen daily, the duty to be yet done is far beyond what your present staff of medical officers can efficiently perform. " We cannot entertain a hope that any course of mere medical treatment will of itself remove, or even materi ally arrest, the progress of disease in your institution. The crowded state of the wards should be corrected sufficient ventilation should be ensured ; the diseased should be separated from the healthy ; the former re moved to situations more favourable to recovery, and the latter no longer exposed to agencies calculated to predis pose to and engender disease ; in short, we are of opi nion, that the same institution cannot safely be at once both a poor. house and an hospital. We renaa'n, gentle men, your obedient servants, ' "PHILIP CRAMPTON. "D. J. CORRIGAN, NI.D. "Note.—The beJs are so close together that there is barely room for a person to walk in between them." CENTRAL RELIEF COMMITTEE FOR IRELAND. THE SUN, _LONDON, _ TUESDAY , MORNING, JANUARY 5 1847. LAW OF LIBEL. Few of our readers probably remember the trial of an action for libel under the name of " Houldsworth, v. Gibson," which took place about three weeks ago. A. full report of it appeared in our paper of the 9th of De cember, to which we refer those who may wish to re fresh their memories on the subject. It was a case pe culiarly illustrative of the benefits of Lord Campbell's amendment of the law, which enables defendants to plead the truth of their alleged defamations. The libellous matter was contained in an article published in the Ply mouth and Devonport Weekly Journal, and alleged that certain persons, who had once been members of the Royal Western Yacht Club, had been expelled that asso ciation on the ground of their being blacklegs. It set forth the proceedings taken by the club previous to the expulsion, and, commenting upon them, made some se vere, but by no means extravagant, remarks upon the character and conduct of the offending members. Of these remarks the plaintiff in the present case, who is one of the ostracized, complained, and with great appearance of honesty, put his case before the constitutional tribunal,—a jury of his peers. The newspaper proprietors justified themselves under the new law, and rested their defence upon the truth of their assertions. They traced the career of their opponent and his confederates back for several years, and found them in various parts of the continent, and also nearer home, practising a system of what appeared to be fraudulent gambling and disgraceful knavery. To prove these facts at the trial, they were compelled to bring witnesses from a considerable distance at a great ex pense ; and we are informed that their disbursements for this and other necessary purposes do not in the whole fall much short of 2,0001. Their labour, however, was not in vain. The jury took the same view of the case as the Royal Western Yacht Club and the Plymouth and Devonport Weekly Journal, and declared, in sub stance, that the alleged libel was not a defamation, but a correct description of the plaintiff and his friends. In other words, their verdict was generally for the defend ants. The law, as everybody knows, gives costs to the successful suitor, whether plaintiff or defendant, for the double purpose of encouraging the prosecution of honest demands and of preventing attempts at extortion. The payment of costs, in principle, may be considered in the light of a fine imposed upon persons who attempt to avail - themselves of the power of the law to unworthy ends. It is a fine, too, which can be enforced by seizure h of good s , an d , i n default of these, by imprisonment. So far may justice be satisfied. But whilst the abstract idea is thus fully carried out, the persons in whom it is developed too often receive but a very imperfect satisfaction. They are invested with a right to be reimbursed their expenses incurred against their will, and in consequence of proceedings to which the event has proved them not to be amenable ; but the mere right is sometimes their only compensation. Even the law cannot squetae blood out of a stone, nor make a man pay money that has not got it. A. man of straw, in hatred and malice, or with a knavish design, or, as in the case before us, with a desperate attempt to patch up a broken reputation, may sue any respectable person. He hardly hopes to get a verdict, and rests contented with the reflection that he cannot be much the worse for failure, having nothing to lose ; on the other hand, he may win. But the defendant in any event, is sure to suffer. If the verdict passes against him, he has to pay damages and costs to ; if for him, be escapes only the former, for as to the latter, there is none but he who can pay. In this predicament precisely stand the proprietors of the Ply• mouth newspaper in "Houldsworth a. Gibson." The plain tiff is a person, as we are informed, quite unable to pay so large a sum as 2,0001.; and, if we are to judge from his manner of life, as disclosed on the trial, he is not very likely to realise it speedily by professional gains. Thus, in fact, though not in theory, the whole expense falls -on the innocent party, contrary to justice, and directly against the intention of the law. Such a result is extremely inconvenient, even in a public point of view. There is no duty of a public journal at once so delicate and so dangerous as that of exposing fraud or miscon duct in individuals. We do not fear the accusation of partiality or undue regard to self-interest, when we say that the calm unflinching discharge of this duty is most essential to the well-being of society, and ought to be upheld and strengthened by all possible means. It seldom happens now, whatever may have keen done in former days, that a wilful or malicious libel app ears in a n p u e v b e l i p r e mo r r i e n tof than any reputation.instances g T e h n e e e.worst But cases exa a m pl e r e s tarrae tenumerousdthrotigh o t f he di a s g h e o n n e e y st o y f n de e t w e s c p te s d pe a rs n . d v 7, ll h la e ny pu f b r l u ie s : we know, can express its gratitude in a fitting manner when once convinced that there is good occasion for it. It seems to us that a good occasion is always apparent in every case of fraud exposed. Here the Plymouth Journal has been the means of showing up a party of blacklegs (for such the verdict of a jury has pronounced them to be) who h a d i ns i nua t e d th emse l ves into good society, and who might have done more extensive mis chief but for the exposure. The people of Plymouth and its neighbourhood are, without question, indebted to them. Yet, for all return, they are mulct in a sum of 2,000/, and have only the beggar's satisfaction of being honest men. Surely this is a hard case.— Times. RACES TO COME.

AFFECTING FAREWELL BETWEEN THE BISHOP OF SODoR AND MAN AND HIS DIOCESE.—Bishop Short has been translated to the see of St. Asaph, and if there be any truth in the subjoined, it is a fortunate event both for his flock and himself. On Saturday last (says the Liverpool Mercury): the High Bailiff of Douglas called a public meeting of the inhabitants of that town for the purpose of " voting an address" to the bishop on his re tiring from the Isle of Man. At the hour appointed a considerable number of persons had assembled at the Court-house ; the High Bailiff took the chair, read an address, which he said he had prepared, and without ever putting it to the vote, or offering or receiving any resolution for its adoption or rejection, called upon those present to sign it. About thirty persons having signed, Mr. Fargher objected to the address going forth as the act of a public meeting of the inhabitants of Douglas, unless it were put to the vote. The High Bailiff denied that the meeting was called for any other purpose than to sign the address, and upon Mr. Fargher attempting to argue the matter, ordered the court to be cleared by the public officer. This being done, the parties so un ceremoniously ejected assembled outside, and carried unanimously a resolution declining to vote an address to Bishop Short. The reasons given were, that the Bishop had always identified himself with the opponents of a parochial'sl a representative Government; that in ecclesiastical ap pointments he, had appointed young men ignorant of the Manx l angu a ge as pas t ors , p ass i ng. oxer M anx clergy men wh o h a d b een curates f or man y y ears; t h at h e h ad failed to exert himself for the restoration of Bishop B and;thathe use—popular hati pa charity education throughoutto thei r the island; designed l originated the lat e M arr i age an d R eg i stry Bill , which was offensive to a great portion of the community; that in one of hi • s late publishedcharges he expressed the belief that the instructions of Dissenters b to Sabbathschoolchild ren wer© seeding and these innocents yt h ou sands to destruction; that he had refused to ordain the son of the late vicar of Braddan THE MEMO RY OF Tllo As ° m CLARKSON.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The third session during the present mayoralty was commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Sir John Pirie, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Sheriffs Challis and Kennard. The Judges on the rota are the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Maule, and Air. Justice Erie. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his usual charge. He said the' calendar contained a list of 91 prisoners only; since it had been printed he had been given to un derstand that fifteen additional commitments had taken place, and that number would, no doubt, be further aug mented during the progress of their labours; still, even with these additional numbers, the calendar would con tain a limited number of prisoners, and would fall short of the number of cases submitted for trial during each session. This paucity of number might be attri buted to the short interval between the last and the present session. Although the number was not so considerable as they were usually called upon to deal with, still there were several serious cases which would come before them, a few of which would require some observations from the Court. In geberal the cases which they were called upon to consider were simple, and therefore easily dis posed of. being matters rather of fact to which the law was easily applicable than containing any points of dif ficulty with respect to which the advice and assistance of the Court was necessary for their guidance. He re ferred to a few cases the depositions in which had been submitted to him for consideration. The first case that presented itself was a charge of counterfeiting the coin of the realm, but it appeared that the process was in complete, and that they were therefore not in a fit state to be uttered. This, however, was met by an express provision, namely, the 2 Will. IV. sec. 3, c. 34, which set forth that.any one attempting to counterfeit a re semblance to any coin of the realm, although such counterfeits might not be in a fit state for uttering, rendered himself liable to the punishment inflicted on those convicted of per fecting a counterfeit resemblance to the coin of the realm. Being unfinished was no answer to the charge.- There was a case of rather unusual occurrence, for which, however, provision was made. The offence was not only rendered illegal, but resolved itself into a mis demeanour, punishable by fine and imprisonment—he meant the charge of enlisting and inducing others to en list in the service of a foreign country, without the per mission of the Crown. The offence, which was a very serious one, inasmuch as it might endanger the safety of their country, was expressly prohibited by the 59th of Geo. 111., c. 09, and was punishable by fine or imprison ment. They would have to inquire, first, whether there was sufficient evidence to substantiate the charge of in ducing others so to enlist, and if the person charged acted without the license of the Crown. There was a charge against a person of cutting and wounding, with the in tention of resisting his lawful detention by a constable, which was equivalent to cutting and. wounding with the intention of doing some grievous bodily harm. The party was charged with theft, and the officer in his efforts to detain him, was cut by some sharp instrument, which it was reasonable to suppose was in the hand of the accused, although no instrument of the kind was found in his possession. There was, also, a charge of shooting at a person with the intention of doing similar injury. It appeared that the pistol was only loaded with wadding and powder, as there was nothing to show that it was charged with ball. It was discharged near the person of the prosecutor, hut in what direction, under what circumstances, whether for the purpose of doing him some serious bodily harm, or only for the purpose of alarming him, were matters which called for their most serious consideration. If the more serious part of the charge was not proved to their satisfaction, then it would resolve itself into an assault. He recommended them to put these cases into a further train of inquiry, in order that the parties accused might have an opportunity of bringing forward testi mony to show their intentions. There was a charge of assaulting and wounding a constable; his wounds were not very apparent, but a person might be seriously beaten and injured with a shoe, as in this case, without exhibiting any serious external injuries. There was also a charge of robbing a person with violence, in which it was suggested that three parties were engaged. The circumstances were involved in considerable ob scurity. The prosecutor was severely wounded. A short time after, an instrument, with which the injuries might have been inflicted, was found on one of the ac cused, whilst some of the stolen property was found also a short time after on the person of another. The last case to which he would refer was a very sad one, and he would but briefly refer to it—namely, the charge against a person of the carnal knowledge of a girl under ten years of age. From the surgeon's evidence, it was painful to find that the offence had been committed by some one on this unhappy child. So late as the 9th of George IV. the crime was punishable by death, but the extreme penalty was removed by the 3d and 4th of Victoria, the utmost punishment now being trans portation for life, or a lesser punishment, according to the discretion of the court. After a few general re marks respecting the course they should pursue in their investigations, and the assistance Which would be ren dered to them by an officer from the Crown-office, he remitted them to their duties. John Satchell, one of the officers of the palace-court, surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Charnock prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor of this indictment was a person named Thomas Foulkes, and it appeared that some time in last year an action had been brought against him in one of the superior Courts of Westminster, and in due course, judgment obtained for the amount of the debt and costs. In pursuance of the provisions of a recent Act of Parlia ment, an application was subsequently made to the palace court for a summons against Foulkes, to show cause why the amount should not be paid, and this Act requires that this summons should be served upon the party personally, and in default of his appearing or pay ing the amount of the debt and costs, the palace. court is empowered to commit the party for forty days to gaol. The summons having been granted on the usual form, it was intrusted to the defendant to serve upon Foulkes, and he afterwards made an affidavit that he served it upon him personally, on the 4th August. No notice was taken of the summons, and the Court granted an order for the committal of Foulkes, and he w as taken to Horsemonger-lane gaol, where he was kept for four days, when he paid the debt and costs, and was dis charged from custody. The present indictment was founded upon the affidavit of the service of the summons upon Foulkes by the defendant, and the case for the prosecution was that no such service was made on the day in question, and that the affidavit had been corruptly made by the defendant. The evidence for the prose ' cution went to show that, on the 4th of August, the evening of which day the defendant swore in his affi davit that he had served the summons personally upon Foulkes while he was riding upon an omnibus at Ken nington-cross. Foulkes had gone down to the as-izes at Guildlerd, where an action was pending in which he was a party, and that he remained in that town the whole day, and did not get back to the terminus at Nine Elms until nearly nine o'clock ; and that after this hour he was engaged with some of his witnesses in taking re freshment at two public-houses, and did not get to his own house until over eleven o'clock at night, and the prosecutor swore positively that the summons was not served on him. In confirmation of this statement seve ral witnesses were examined, among whom were Mr. Bickley, his attorney, his clerk, and another attorney named Burns ; and they swore positively that they were with him the whole day, and Mr. Rick ley, in addition, said that he accompanied him to his own house, and they all declared that no process was served upon him. In addition to these facts, a witness named Bridges was called, who stated that he was riding in the omnibus belonging to the defendant's bro ther at the time named in the affidavit, and that the de fendant served him with the summons, mistaking him for Mr. Foulkes. Upon the cross-examination of the witnesses, the prosecutor admitted that he had been en gaged in a- great deal of litigation, and that upon a former occasion, when a similar proceeding took place in the palace-court with regard to a judgment that had been obtained against him, he then represented that he had never received any summons, but, upon inquiry, no effect was given to that representation, and he was com pelled to pay the debt and costs. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the defendant, made some severe remarks upon the casuistry of the witnesses for the prosecution, and he called a witness who deposed, that at the time mentioned by the defendant, he saw Foulkes riding in the omnibus, and that he really was the party upon whom the process was served. It ap peared, however, that it was dusk at the time, and that the witness had a very imperfect opportunity of observ ing the person who was in the omnibus, whom he sup posed to be the prosecutor. A number of respectable witnesses gave the defendant a good character. The RECORDER, on summing up, said that if the only question the jury had to consider was upon which side the evidence preponderated, he apprehended they would not feel any d►fliculty in coming to the conclusion that the case for the prosecution was supported by very strong and positive evidence, while there was every reason to suppose that the principal witness for the de fenee might be mistaken. If the issue also was whether the witnesses for the prosecution were perjured, he must say that he did not think they would be justified in com ing to that conclusion upon the facts as they appeared, but if, on the other hand, they believed that the de fendant had made a mistake as to the identy of the pro secutor, he would not have committed the offence of , wilful and corrupt perjury, and upon that ground they would be justified in acquitting him. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, the foreman stating that they were of opinion the defendant did not wilfully swear what was false, but that he was mistaken in the person of the man upon whom he served the process. The RECORDER said he thought this was very likely to have been the case. Mr. CLARKSON then applied for the expenses of the prosecution, which the Court ordered to be allowed, the Recorder observing that it was a very proper case fur in quiry. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Inspector Whall informed the Magistrate that eine of the persons charged on the police-sheet with drunken neis had died in the cell. He said the man had been brought into the Vine-street station, about seven o'clock •n Saturday evening, exceedingly drunk. He was then very dirty, his clothes miserably ragged, and he seemed very cold, and so drunk that he could not give his name. He (the inspector) had him properly washed, and put into a warm cell, in which there were three other persons. Th. se persons said that the man walked about, and %main conversation, and gave his name to them as Tom Distin, when he immediately dropped down dead on the bottom of the cell. They knew nothing about him. Tho inspector handed over to the reporter the follow- ing description of the deceased:—Name given, Tom Dis ; about 5 f..et 6 inches high; 56 years 01d ; hair rather grey, a little bald in front ; dressed in a fustian jacket and trousers, and very dirty in appearance. SOUTH WA RI. John Witty, a tall, powerful-looking young man, was charged with stealing a quantity of cigars from a to bacconist's shop in Gravel-lane, Southwark. In effect ing the prisoner's apprehension, one of the policemen was seriously wounded on the head with a quart pot. Mrs. Maria Baker, who keeps a tobacconist's shop in Gravel-lane, said that on the preceding night between seven and eight o'clock, while sitting in the parlour, she saw the prisoner in the act of quitting the >hep with a quantity of cigars. A policeman took her to a public house in the same lane, called the " Red House," when she pointed out the pri soner, who was drinking and smoking in company of several other persons. The moment the policeman at tempted to lay hands upon him he snatched up a pewter pot and made a blow at his head, which, however, did not take effect, but his companions succeeded in rescuing him. In about three hours afterwards the prisoner was again found in the same house, surrounded by his associates, and before he was secured one of the policemen was attacked with a pewter pot, and severely wounded on the forehead. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for trial. He has only been out of gaol a week. CLERKENWELL. A lad named Thomas Williams was charged before Mr. Greenwood with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Mr. Edward Hailes, bootmaker, of Denton buildings, Somers town, to whom he was apprenticed, and also with obtaining by fraud one sovereign and two sovereigns severally from Mrs. Hodgson and Mrs. Gibson, the aunt and cousin of Mr. Hailes. It appeared that the prisoner bad been convicted at the Old Bailey sessions, about nine months ago, of robbing his master, but in consequence of that gentle man recommending him to mercy he received only a nominal imprisonment, and was again taken home by him, in hopes of affording him on opportunity of retriev ing his character. On Wednesday last the prisoner ab sconded with a pair of boots, and on Saturday the pro secutor ascertained that he had called upon his cousin (Mrs. Hodgson), saying he (Mr. Hailes) had sent him with a present of a pair of boots for one of her children, and at the same time desired him to ask her fur the loan of a sovereign, which she gave him. He then went to the prosecutor's aunt, and told her that Mr. Hanes was confined to his bed with a dangerous attack of illness, and a quantity of work had been sent to him on the day before, and he was in the greatest distress, not having the means of paying for it Upon these representations Mrs. Gibson gave him two sovereigns, with which he went down to Greenwich with a number of other boys and spent the greater part of the money. He was fully committed for trial at the Old Bailey sessions on the charge of robbery and obtaining money by fraudulent repre,entations. MARKET -NEWS.-(*ESTERDAY CORN-EXCHANGE. During last week, the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, were on a moderate scale, while those of Malt were season ably extensive. The fresh samples of all other articles of home produce were on a very limited scale. From Ireland and Scotland, the receipts of grain were unusually small; they having been confined to about 4,500 quarters of Oats, from the former, and 2,900 quarters of Barley from the latter. The imports from abroad were, taken as a whole, even includ ing about 8,000 barrels of American Flour, and a few thousand quarters of Beans, Peas, and Oats, trifling. This morning, a moderate quantity of home-grown Wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent ; but from other parts the arrivals were small. The stands were again scantily tilled with samples of English Wheat, owing to which, the increased attendance cf buyers, and the short stocks held by the dealers, a good business was doing, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last, of from 3s to 4s per quarter. Still, however, we cannot--as many parties were unwilling to give the above amount of improve ment—call the trade brisk; and we may state that the market closed heavily, considering the actual improvement paid. With free Foreign Wheat—as many of the holders have withdrawn their samples from the market for the pre sent—we were scantily supplied. That article commanded a steady, though not very active inquiry, at a rise in the quotations of fully 3s per quarter. For inland, there was some demand for bonded Wheats and Indian Corn cargoes afloat. The former sold readily at an improvement of 3s, the latter 4s per quarter. The sales of 1► heat amounted to about 8,000 quarters. We had a short supply of Barley on offer, while the demand for that article was very active at 2s to 4s per qr. more money. There was a very active business doing in Malt, at an enhancement in the quotations of from 4s to 5s per qr., and at which a got 1 clearance was effected. The show of Oats being small, the Oat trade was firm, at a rise of Is. per quarter. Both Beans and Peas sold readily at Is. to 2s. per quarter more money. The Flour trade was ac tive. Sack parcels were 35., and barrelled ditto 2s. dearer. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Essex & Kent, i Malt—Chevalier..

Rotterdam 2! 60 ... 626 Harlingen Boulogne Flushing Pigs, Total Considering the severity of the weather, the above is a very large arrival. At the outports about 800 Sheep have been landed, chiefly from Holland, in good condition. As most of the above, in fact, were disposed of privately, the number of foreign Beasts and Sheep on offer to-day was very small, viz. 80 of the former, and 300 of the latter, the demand for which was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. With home-fed Beasts we were well supplied. bath as respects number and quality, owing to which, and the changeable state of the weather, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'n night of quite 2d. per Blbs., the extreme figure for the best Scots not exceeding 4s. 4d. per Sibs., while at the conclu sion of business a clearance was not effected. From Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 1,400 short-horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300 Herefords, Scots. and short-horns; from the eastern and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runt, De- VOUS, &c. ; and from other parts of England, 800 of variuu breeds. The number of Sheep were considerably on the in crease, and of excellent quality. The supply of that descrip tion of stock exceeding the wants of the butchers, the Mut ton trade was unusually dull, at an abatement in value of from 2d. to, in some instances, 4d. per gibs. With Calves we were scantily supplied, yet the Veal trade avas in a slug gish state at our quotations. Prime email Porkers moved off steadily, other kinds of Pigs slowly, at late rates.

In all other kinds of meat only a moderate business was transacted, yet previous rates were readily supported.

Since our last report, about 200 tons of Potatoes have reached us in good condition from France; but, coastwise, the receipts have been very trifling. Selected qualities are in good request, at a trifle more money; but all other kinds are a slow inquiry. BOROUGH HOP MAILILET. On the whole our market continues to be well supplied with most kinds of Hops, the best of which, both in pockets and bags, command a ready sale, at full prices. Otherwise, however, the trade is dull, at barely late rates, From New York 300 bales have been received in the past week..—Sus sex pockets, 31 12s to 41 Gs; Weald of Kent pockets, 41 to 41125; Mid and East Kent pockets, 415 s to 61 6s. WOOL. Since this day se'ennight the imports of Wool have con sisted of 38 bales from Antwerp, 445 ditto from Port Phillip, 582 ditto from Sydney, and 269 ditto from Odessa. There is a better feeling in the demand for English Wools, at full prices ; but Foreign and Colonial qualities are a dull inquiry. Holders, however, are very firm. TALLOW. The Tallow market is very firm, and prices are looking upward, notwithstanding the late advances. On the spot there is no fine Z. C. under the quotation below ; for March and April Us. ; and New Y. C. for next season, 465. The stock this day is not only limited by comparison with other years, but it is short throughout the United Kingdom ; and there is a very short supply expected during the next six months. Town Tallow is scarce, and the welters are asking full prices, even at the advance paid on Friday last. Rough Fat 3s. per 81bs. TIIE LATE FIRE AT IRONGATEWHARF.—ADDI DITIONAL PARTICULARS.—SUNDAY NIGIIT.—At six o'clock last evening (Sunday), a considerable body of fire remained in the ruins, and the firemen were still engaged throwing water upon the same, and it was not expected that th e tire could be entirely extinguished for at least another day. The immediate vicinity of the ruins was visited yesterday by many thausands of per. sods, and it required a strong party of police to keep the crowd nom pressing to close to the totteriu g it walls. Th e p ro p er t y destroyed is now believed will be considerably under what was at first stated, owing to the great quantity of goods that are under the walls, and which are only partially injured. During the after noon of Saturday, about 150 barrels of provisions were rescued from the ruins, the major part of which were perfectly sound. During this day (Monday) the firemen it is believed will be able to save as many more barrels of pork and beef, and should the ruins be sufficiently cooled, they will be able to get out an immense quantity of canvas and linen in bales, which can be seen under the brickwork. RARITIES OF THE SEASON.—On Saturday, in Co vent-garden market, there was a profusion of new pota toes of the description called ash-leaved kidney, the price being is. per lb.; asparagus was plentiful at 10s. the bundle, rhubarb 55., and cucumbers from 7s. to 15s. each, all being of English growth.

LONDON .VOOLWICIT, JAN. 3.-ENROLLED PENSIONERS.- In consequence of some misunderstanding in the minds of the pensioners and their wives and families as to the condition under which; they were to sfrve as an embo died corps in New Zealand, an order was issued on Saturday from the Secretary of War, stating that, in the event of any pensioner dying in that colony before the expiration of the seven years appointed as the period of enrolment, their wives and families, if they pre'er it, will be sent back to England at the public charge; and if, at the end of that period, the pensioners wish to re move to any other part of the colony, the Government will give them, in lieu of their cottage and acre of land, an allotment of twenty acres in any part of the colony. MISERLY HABITS OF LORD CHANCELLOR TREVOR. —He lived ever afterwards very privately, and found his chief delight in accumulating money. He became so great an economist, that he even grudged a glass of wine to a poor relation. It is recorded of .him, that "he had dined by himself one day-artlie" 'Rolls, and was drinking his wine quietly, when his cousin, Roderic Lloyd, was unexpectedly introduced to him, front a side door. You rascal,' said his Honour to the servant, ' and you have brought my cousin, Roderic Lloyd, Esquire, Prothono tary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron Price, &c., , &c., up by back s t a i rs . T a k e my cousin, Roderic Lloyd, Esquire, Prothonotary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron Price, &c., &c., &c.,—take him instantly down my back stairs and bring him up my front, stairs.'

Dr. Holloway views with great alarm, these and other contemplated changes, and assures the Lord Chancellor that, if per sisted in, a large number of clergymen (probably as many as 4,000) will leave the pale of the Established Church. SUNDAY TRAINS.—The list of names subscribed to the memorial presented to the Board of Directors, for the re-establishment of the two passenger trains on Sun day, has now been published ; and we have no hesitation in saying, that we never saw a more influential list of names, embracing men of all parties, to any document relative to any matter of local interest. A contempo rary, in its remarks relative to this list, clearly esta blishes, from distinct quotations from all the written documents on the part of the memorialists, that they have from the first to the last, limited their demand to the Sunday trains, as used for the last four years, and the use of w ,n h aan ic pa h vae h sa a lt s ,h, b at e vh e ie n n suspended so arbitrarily by the having w t of b dhfoorrledeetrAosrs, and that not hi ng b eyond t hi s i s conten d e d , we w ou ld part i cularl te rtained y impress upon the Scottish e w en bie m b ad n e o t d o ou t b h t e i s s ha e r n e - - shareholders firmly t blunder, to say the leas e t confident that a vacs to express their opinions, as we feel ot o .

DEAD MAN'S WJLL.—I egil tell you of 2 fancy that some p eo pl e h ave i n t h e w ild er parts of Graven, that if the m ar k o f a d ea d person (the b o dy, h o wever, not being cold) be put to will, it is valid in law. A few years ago a case of this nature occurred. A larm er had omitted to make his will. H e d i ed ; and befor e the body was cold a will was prepared by soave relati+ ie V course in his own favour), an d a mark, purtlort i ng to e that of the deceased i was made by puttingeho poll into the h an d of the dead man, and so making his Mtl k to tho will. Th e b o d y o f t h e man was not then cold. The will was contested by some parties, and, I believe, pr o 9eeded to a trial at law, when the circumstance of the belief o f the parties came oat in evid enco aum. - - .--.rr e t' pordent of Ath en snes c sidered by the session to be a very useful and necessary undertaking. COUNTY OF RoscoMMoN.—Mr. Fitzstephen French, M.P., presided at the adjourned sessions of French-park, on Wednesday. Mr. French commenced by expressing to Captain Burmaster and Mr. Bushe, the officers in attendance from the Board of Works, the thanks of the magis trates and associated cess-payers, for the zeal with which their duties was performed, and the assistance they had uniformly afforded to the local gentry. Since their last meeting, Lord de Freyne had forwarded, under the Treasury Minute of the Ist of December, his application for an advance of 24,0001., to be ex pended in reclaiming waste lands in that barony, and in all probability instructions would be received by the next day's post by Mr. Burke to report on the memorial. Ile (Mr. French) trusted that the other landed proprietors in this district would follow this course, and that every person having a stake in the country would perform his duty. If not, let petitions be forwarded to Parliament to allow the magistrates and cess-payers to tax the lands of those not giving employ ment for reproductive works, subject to the sanction of the Board of Works. The sum voted on Saturday was for three months' employment for the destitute poor of the barony, to save this district, if possible, from the horrors of starvation; and his object in requesting the attendance of the officers repre sen ti ng th e B oar d of Works, at this their adjourned meeting, was to arrange with them the method in which this could be most se curely and effectually done. He had prepared a return, showing the amount unexpended of the sums voted at their September sessions—the sums now allotted for each new work, and the number of men who, in the opinion of the engineer, could be conveniently em ployed on each. He would recommend that work should be laid out for each person to the amount of 21. Bs. The sum they had just voted was for three months' employment at ad. a day. This would enable each person, by daily labour, to earn 21. Bs. Let the relief committee send such numbers to each work as would enable this work to be carried out. Whether working in gangs or not, let:the persons taking the tasks be al lowed to bring to their assistance such members of their own families as they please ; and, if possible, to have the task finished, and the sum required for their subsistence, the 21. Bs., earned in six weeks. The re maining six weeks out of the three months, the wages for which they have in their pockets, should be devoted to their own tillage, and some attempt made to arrest the impending famine of next year. He would also, in the most earnest manner, press on Mr. Bushe the expe diency of not allowing any person to continue as stew ard of public works who could not satisfactorily show he was, on his own land, giving employment to one or two persons, and that his land was in preparation for early sowing. The address of Mr. French appeared to give great satisfaction to a crowded court, Mr. BUSHE and Captain BURMASTER stated their de sire to co-operate in every way with the magistrates, and to avail themselves of every suggestion which could be rendered effective. The remaining business was gone through, and the schedule forwarded to the secretary of the grand jury. COUNTY GT MEATH.—THE DUKE OF BEDFORD.— The following letter has been addressed to the Irish agent of his Grace the Duke of Bedford:— " Bedford Office, Bloomsbury, Dec. 28, 1846. " Dear Sir,—The Duke of Bedford desires me to re quest that you will have the goodness to inform the High Sheriff of Meath that he has received and considered the circular addressed by him to his Grace, in which, after adverting to an application made to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, to call an extra baronial present ment sessions in the barony of Lower Navan, for presenting for reproductive works, the High Sheriff, Charles Joly, Esq., inquires whether the Duke of Bed • ford-will join in a plan to provide employment for the people, without the intervention of the Board of Works, on the principle of subscriptions equal in amount to the assessment which would have to be made for productive works under Mr. Labouchere's letter ; and whether. in the event of that letter being adopted at the en suing sessions, his Grace would be willing to undertake for reproductive works (giving the required guaran tee), and to what amount ? And the Duke. of Bed. ford also wishes you to be so good as to inform the High Sheriff that it is very satisfactory to his Grace to find that the proprietors in the barony are anxious to come forward and provide employment without the interven tion of the Government ; and that he is willing to join in, and be ar hi s s h are o f any reasonable plan for accom plishing that object ; and in determining upon the stens to be taken for that purpose, his Grace hopes, where the sowing of wheat has been neglected, that the expedi( ncy of sowing spring crops will not be lost sight of. "I beg to add that the Duke of Bedford is pleased to hear that you have created employment for such of his tenants as required it ; and I quite agree with you in the opinion you express, that if every landed proprietor would do the same, it would do far better than applying to the Board of Works.—l am, dear Sir, yours truly, CHRISTOPHER HARDY. " To Charles Joly, Esq." INAUGURATION Of THE LORD MAYOR.—At eleven o'clock this day the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and town councillors assembledat the Mansion House, and shortly after proceeded in state to the City Assembly House in William street, for the purpose of installing Alderman Staunton in all the civic honours attached to the station of Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin. On reaching the City Assembly House, the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor elect, and Mr. O'Connell were received by the people with loud cheers. On entering the council room, the in• troduclory proceedings having been speedily disposed of, the insignia of office were placed on the shoulders of Alderman Staunton, who made and subscribed the oath prescribed; after which the ex-Lord Mayor de scended from the chair, to which the Lord Mayor ascended, and, having made his bow to the council, his salutation was received with feud cheers.
