The obituary of 1847 promises to v., emblazone d with many illustrious names. DANIEL OCONNELL Las scarcely passed away from amongst us, w h en we are startled by intelligence of the sudden death of TuomAs CHALMERS. Another eminent benefactor of the million has perished. The lamentations of Ireland over her great Patriot are responded to by the lamen tations of Scotland over her great Moralist. With both do we sympathise frGrn the innermost recesses of our heart. Through the haze of death we recog nise the oratorical and liberative glory of O'COZINELL through the haze o f d eath, too, we perceive t h e equable light 6f the celebrity of CHALMERS. Their ' !warts may be motionless, but their fame cannot be ; extinguished. THOMAS CHALMERS is generally believed to hay r been born somewhere about the year 1780, in a little village called Anstruther, situated on the rigl it Inargin as you sail southwards up the estuary of tl se Vorth. The birthplaee of this eminent man- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, JUNE 3, 1847. an insignificant fishing place—is, consequently, re garded as among those spots which have been sancti ' fled by thP presence of the childhood of genius. Every endeavour seems to have been made for the development of those seeds of wisdom which, we maintain, with all deference to the immortal LOCKE, were visibly im planted by PROVIDENCE in his fruitful and capacious intellect. From the first there was manifestly an innate tendency towards the acquisition of know ledge and the exercise of virtue on the part of THOMAS CHALMERS ; that tendency was assiduously encouraged by his scholastic and spiritual instructors, at the University of St. Andrew's. Such were the distinguished indications of his ability while a student in that northern academy of learning, that he was frequently selected as a mathematical assistant at the classes of Professor VILANT. On his presentation, in ' 1803, to the incumbency of Kilmany, THOMAS CHAL MERS was a living contradiction to that assertion of Professor PLAYTAIR that the Scottish clergy was unadorned by the combination of rhetorical fluency and profound erudition, graceful declamation and bookish enlightenment. From the first moment of his appearance in the pulpit of Kilmany Church the renown of CHALMERS resounded through the whole of the island. The music of his tongue, rising from the golden chambers of his imagination, and harmonised by the breathings of his morality, entranced his hearers, took their judgments by storm, ravished their senses as it were with the utterances of a prophet. Dr. CHALMERS, however, was immeasurably greater as a moralist than he was as an orator. It was by the combination of those two marvellous qualifications that he acquired such supreme influence over his con temporaries, and elicited so much of the admiration of mankind. As an orator and as a moralist, Dr. CHALMERS must hold for ever a conspicuous place among the promoters of civilisation and the practical benefactors of the human family. His greatness in this respect is undoubted and permanent. Nor were the efforts of this extraordinary man re stricted within the limits of oral tuition ; as an ethical and metaphysical writer he has assumed a bright and enviable position. His literary compositions are in effect essentially of a declamatory character, they in dicate unmistakably the spontaneous torrent of elo quence that rushed perpetually through his mind— the eloquence of the very conception of his thoughts, and the eloquence with w hi c h th ose th oug ht s were habitually expressed. Whether he indicated his ideas by the movement of the lip or of the pen the language was always resonant with wisdom, it was occasionally embellished by rhetorical decorations, and was invariably inculcative of generous and ennobling principles. Upon the remarkable ecclesiastical movement which in 1843 attached so much of mingled obloquy and applause to the name of Dr. CHALMERS, we shall say nothing. It is scarcely possible to conceive, however, that this virtuous and learned man was actu ated in that movement by any but the purest motives and the loftiest aspirations. THOMAS CHALMERS might, from the fallibility of human nature, unwittingly fall into a mistake—he could never designedly be guilty of any dereliction of duty. Gifted beyond most men in the capacity and bril liancy of his intelligence, Thomas CHALMERS was in like manner gifted with a sublime elevation of pur pose. His memory is his panegyric. The quondam " Reproductive Employment Com mittee " held their first meeting at the Rotunda on Tuesday under their new title of the " Irish Coun cil." There was a fair attendance of persons repre senting every shade and variety of politics—the Orangeman and Conservative, the Whig and Radical, the Old Ireland and Young Ireland repealer. The advantages that may be derived from the association are wholly dependent on the man ner in which its members will act, on the fidelity with which they may adhere to the lead ing principle of their society. If they will honestly , and conscientiously waive all selfish and party con siderations; if they will, irrespective of political or religious differences, cordially and energetically co operate together for the good of their common coun try, for her elevation in the social scale, and the ame lioration of her children's condition, their exertions will be valuable indeed, and greatly tend to the attainment of the desired object. But, on the other hand, if they suffer bickerings or discussions to pre (wail, no matter what may be the exciting causes, if they endeavour to promote the interests of any class in preference to the general welfare of all, their meetings will be productive of evil in place of good, and it would be well if they had never met. There are certain topics which, if at all intro duced, must inevitably lead to contentions, but there is a wide field for their deliberation without trespassing on this debateable land. The line of demarcation is clearly indicated. It must be manifest to the dullest comprehension what questions are certain to call up an opponent and to excite angry discussion in an Irish society, and all such questions should be most religiously eschewed, and if for a moment brought forward in the heat of argument, should forthwith be suppressed by the authority of the chair. We are not amongst those squeamish and nervous persons who think that there is danger to the institu tions of the country from regular and periodical dis cussion with respect thereto. Those which are really sound will bear any ordeal to which they may be subjected. However vigorous the attack may be, a corresponding defence will be forthcoming, if they are based on equity and justice, and deserving of public support. Whatever may be the case, truth will eventually be elicited, and more accurate views produced from the arguments used on either side. kiie glorious triumph of free trade the abolition of t 1 gigantic and pestilential monopoly that so long brooded over the nation, that fettered our commerce and impaired our energies, was owing to the cogent reaso ling, the convincing proofs adduced by the members of the League at their meetings, and wafted on the wings of the press throughout the length and breadth of the land, which clearly pointed out and established the injurious results of, and the gross injustice perpetuated by, an adherence to the old and now, happily, obsolete system. 'We have often known the most beneficial effects flow from public meetings and public discussions, but rarely, if ever, anything baneful or injurious. Publicity, however, is essentially necessary ; the moment privacy is resorted to, under any circumstances, or on any pre text, that moment the usefulness of the body has de parted; you may be certain that some insidious proposition is about to be brought forward which will not bear the light of which its advocates, and supporters are at heart ashamed. The Irish Council in deciding that the press shall be admitted to all their proceedings, have given the best guarantee of the purity of their motives and intentions; and so long as they continue to do so—so long as everything brought forward is open to the world, and subject to the comments of the journalists, there can be no danger from the indiscretions to which all men are subject. For a long series of years the fatal rule, " Divide et imperil' has been acted on towards Ireland with fatal success. Her weakness has been chiefly owing to the differences of her chil -1 dren, to the blind and reckless hostility they have exhibited, and the animosities which they have felt towards each other. If these feelings can be altered, if they can be induced to regard each other as labourers in the same vineyard, to support and strengthen their mutual exertions, so long as they are directed to the same end and object—to regard each other as natives of the same great family, with be nignity and kindness—the chief difficulty that has hitherto retarded the regeneration of Ireland will be obviated, and a fair prospect afforded for her ultimate prosperity and welfare. in Italy. Mr• r The inhabitants • -013 DEN, M.P has made . his farewell speech of Turin were foiled in their eager desire to receive their distinguished vi• sitor i n the same magnifi cen t manner n which he had entertain e d in other • • country,. o w i ng to cities of their beautiful their h containing a hall or apartmentavu3g no public ding to contain the numerous adiof sufficient diiTensions to greet the presence of our creelrsbwho were anxious Nevertheless the influential nobelesradi ted countryman. and voluntarily invited sixty guests did their utmost, which they had determi n ed upon giving in honour banquet, the great commer cial re g enerator of the ninetee n th century century. What a reflective contrast is here pre sented between the trans-Alpine country and our own I Little better than a twelvemonth since the greater porton of the English aristocracy indulged ii every species of virulence against their native ' manufacturer who, by his zeal, energy, and com manding ability, directed the movements of the gig-.l , tic League for (ne overthrow of the most iniquitous monopoly that ever oppressed an en lightened people. No effort was spared to make us believe that the powerful machinery which he had developed, and so successfully controlled, was highly unconstitutional, as well as to impute the most sordid motives to all who had engaged themselves in the ever-memorable crusade against the corn-laws. Vain was the struggle of the Protectionists. Mr. COBDEN, conscious of the rectitude of his cause, despised every missile of petty malignancy that was hurled at him and at his devoted followers, and armed alone with the unerring weapon of pure rea son, he discomfited his antagonists at every turn, and finally reduced their stronghold to a state of complete demolition. But nothing proved more galling to the feelings of our unbending aristocracy than that Sir ROBERT PEEL (whom, for ten long years, they had incessantly laboured to restore to power) should, in the hour of their defeat and humiliation, have " gone out of his way" to pass a high eulogium upon the brilliant career of the Hon. Member for Stock port. Turning our minds to what has recently passed in Italy, how different is the pic ture ! There the nobility have been foremost to pay their homage en masse to Mr. COBDEN wherever he was found among them. No artificial or miserable conventionalities of pride kept them aloof. The hum bler the birth of their guest, the more striking became the nobility of his mind. His philanthropic genius shone with greater brilliancy from not being over laid with any outward emblem of state. Others may owe their transient importance and dignity in the eyes of their fellow-men to the honorary distinctions which they have derived from the Crown, but, with Mr. COBDEN, nature had patented his no bility with her own hand. Regarding him, then, as the greatest benefactor of his age, the nobles of Turin have set their own rank in the fairest light by the public demonstration of respect and admiration which they so spontaneously made in favour of Mr. COBDEN. The Honourable Gentleman's speech was replete with his usual wisdom. His remarks always strike home. No sooner are they uttered than the judgment is convinced. What truths are contained in the follow lowing graphic sentences ! " Ever since the close of the war the discoveries and im provements of science have been contributing towards free trade. Every steam-boat had been an argument in its fa vour—every mile of railroad was a reproach to the restrictive system. Locomotives and fiscal prohibitions were incompa tible things. Railways disdained the ancient custom-house restraints. They could not nurse their modern giant in an old-fashioned cradle." In an audience with the King of SARDINIA, Mr. COBDEN was 45Isured that the principles he advocated were highly approved, and in proof of the same the KING announced that reductions would be made in his tariff at the earliest possible moment. Madrid papers of the 27th have arrived. The KING still continues at the Prado, where he has been visited by his father, who had a long inter view with him, but nothing has transpired as to what passed between them. It was reported in Madrid that the KING intended going to the Escurial. The Tiempo states that it is his intention to take up his residence in the capital of one of the provinces. The QUEEN continues her daily excursions, in which she is accompanied, as usual, by her uncle and her cousin. The effects of Don FEANCISCO DE PAULA have been removed to the Royal Palace. MADRID Boma, MAY 27.--The Three per Cents. were done at 30% cash, 30 1 4 paper; the Four per Cents., 18 cash; Five per Cents., 18% cash, 181,4 paper; Debt without Interest, 57i cash, 6 paper; Exchange on London, 49 cash. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Presse continues its attacks on the Ministry for not intervening in Spain to support French in terests. The article (which is one of a series to ap pear day by day) is well seasoned with abuse of England, her policy, her religion, and her Govern ment. Rumours of an impending change of Mi nistry still continue rife in the French capital. The National says— " According to certain journals M. Duchatel was to have returned to Paris yesterday, and to have resumed his func tions as Minister of the Interior ; according to certain others he was to spend not fewer than eight or ten days at Ram bouillet. All were mistaken—M. Duchatel did not return to Paris yesterday, and he hardly passed forty-eight hours at Rambouillet. It is probable that the air of the forest did not agree with him, for we learn that he thought right to approach the sea, and that he is at this moment at Trouville. We are assured that Trouville will not be his last station, and that before coming to Paris he will try several other places. This state of things annoys M. Guizot exceedingly; he had never greater need of a man who knows the Chamber well, and how to manage it. If he be obliged to reach the end of the session without the help of M. Duchatel, the campaign will be a severe one for him, as in the month of August next it is probable that he will, like M. Duchatel, feel the necessity of a change of air, and of improving the health of body and mind far from Paris." We read in the Union Monarchique "It appears certain that the Ministry, whilst putting on airs of triumph for the very equivocal victory which it ob tained on the question of postal reform, was, at the bottom of its heart, very seriously frightened at the small and un accustomed figure of a majority of 25 votes. We learn, in fact, in the most positive manner, that after a long and pro found deliberation on the dangers of the present situation, it was decided in the last Council of Ministers that the Govern ment should endeavour to the end of the session to avoid all kinds of debates on questions of administrative and financial reform. In consequence of this resolution, it was decided that no opposition should be offered—at least to the principle of the proposition of the Hon. M. Deifies:nay, relative to the duty on salt, which is about to be submitted to the Chamber, and that the amendment of the Committee, adjourning the execution of the proposed measure to 1849, should be sup ported, or, if necessary, enlarged." The affair of General CUBIERES still continues to excite great attention. The report of the Committee, which is considerably advanced, will extend to more than 800 folio pages. The National says that " the Committee is determined to pursue its labours how ever high the station of the persons compromised." When the report shall have been distributed to the Peers the Chamber will assemble and discuss - with closed doors the question as to whether it will be ad visable to institute ulterior proceedings. " It is announced (says the Courrier Francais) that Bou MAZA. is about to return shortly to Algeria, and that the Government has determined to confide to him the command of a body of native troops. He is, it is said, to be placed under the orders of General Yusur." ME. CHARLES KINNAIRD SHERIDAN (SOll of the late THOMAB SHERIDAN, and grandson of RICHARD BRINILEY SHERIDAN), one of the Attaches of the British Embassy at Paris, died in the hotel of the Embassy on Sunday night last, May 30, in the 30th year of his age. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees states that the Carlist General ALZAA and another Spanish refugee named PEREZ were taken into custody on Thursday last, at Bayonne. General ALZAA is said to have been in the environs of Bayonne for more than a month, and to have taken several journeys into the Guipuscoa. The Echo de r Agriculture announces a fall in the price of grain in almost all the markets of Prance. The Constitutionnel states that " the appearances of the forthcoming harvest are particularly fine in the department of the Eure and Loire. In the depart ments of the Meuse, the Vosges, and the Moselle likewise, the crops are magnificent, and unless some fortuitous calamity occur, the produce will not only be abundant, but the harvest particularly early."

The plan for the adoption of a uniform penny re ceipt stamp, although hitherto neglected by the Government, is still urged in the City, and a petition on the subject has just been presented to the House of Commons. The existing tax possesses the two great qualities which invariably tempt teßvasion, since, from its complications, it is no lees incon venient than burdensome.

Other sorts much the same. In the sales were comprised 3,000 bales American, at 6d. to 71 d. ; 2,000 Bahia at 7%d. to 74d. ; and 600 Surat, at 4d. to .14d. per lb. Shares suffered a considerable decline, and closed heavily, although a fair business was done. There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter, and we may usefully embrace the opportunity to revert to local matters. We stated yesterday that the advices from the ma nufacturing districts were of a more encouraging nature. Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor state, in their report from Man chester, that "The recent change in the weather, and the rapid progress of vegetation in this country, combined with the highly favourable reports of the prospects of the con tinental harvests, have given an improved tone to this market within the past ten days. The inter vention of the Whitsuntide holidays prevented busi ness operations during the past week; but to-day there has been a marked activity, and sellers have in many instances established an advance; the greater ease in the money market, and the declining value of breadstuffs, are a gratifying change in the right direction, and if the splendid harvest prospects continue, we may expect a epeedy revival in the home and colonial demand for our manufac tures, and consequently an upwar d movement in prices, in I aid f which latter the rates of cotton (which are stea.lily progressing), and the limitation of production which still con tinues, will be found operating. Our impression is, that the present is a favourable time for investing in yarns and goods, since any decline in the value appears i mposs ibl e under the circumstances of the short supply of the raw material, whereas, if money be come cheaper, and the cost of food be materially reduced, which appears highly probable, capital is very likely to be attracted to our manufactures (the production of which will be limited by the deficient supply of cotton) as a lucrative speculation. Great interests are at stake upon the issue of the next six weeks or two months. If the weather continue auspicious, we have little doubt that the autumn trade will be in the highest degree satisfactory." Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury describe the imports of produce into London last month as having been very exten sive, but as importers have been free sellers, prices have de clined. The official returns published by the Board of Trade indicate also a great increase in the imports of all articles of subsistence during the three months of this year, ending with April 5, and as the consumption has also largely increased as regards most of the principal articles, including sugar, tea, and coffee, we may count upon an increased outlay on that score, which our exports do not as yet promise to meet, for they have fallen off nearly 200,000/. The decline is principally upon cotton manufactures, coals, and yarns, partly counterbalanced however by an increase in glass, iron, wool, and silk manu factures. Tne English Funds have been further depressed again to day, and there have been some money sales making, although there is no particular demand for capital out of doors. The rally in corn, with the reports about the potato disease, the heavy railway calls, and the continued distress in Ireland, added to the uncertainty about Exchequer-bills, are all sources of present excitement and profit to the Bears. Ascot Races have at:racted a large number of persons, and there is consequently but little speculation going on. Con sols have been 87% to 881; 4 for present transfer, and 8814 83% for Account.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard mo tions to-day, but no case of any public interest came before the Court during the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied all the morning with motions which were destitute of a particle of general interest. LEAVE V. KING. The arguments in this cause, which came on upon an ex ception to the Master's report, were resumed and concluded to-day, Hi; LORDYHIP said that the present case differed from all the other cases that bad been cited, and he would require tima to consult the authorities on the question at issue before delivering his judgment. It appeared to him that the cir cumstances of the case were simply these :—An estate was devised to certain parties in trust for the testator's wife, and it was directed by the will of the testa , or that after her death it should be sold. Out of the estate it was directed that a sum of 6,0001. should he raised, and a moiety of interest arising therefrom should be paid to the widow during her life time, and the residue to be divided into three parts, between two nephews and a niece of the testator. During the lite time of the tenant, Robert Shaw King, one of the neple wa, was desirous of raising money from the Norwich Unioa Company, who were parties to the exception, and who, before they would advance any, required to see the will of the testate'', and saw that the property was subject to the charge of 6,0004, a moiety of the interest of which belonged to Sarah King, who. in order to facilitate the execution of the mort gage which Robert S. King was desirous of executing, agreed to release the property• from her charge upon it, but she did not by so doing transfer her claim to any other party. A notice of the deed to which the lady was a party was given to the trustees, which, it was contended, was insuffi cient, as it did not set forth the particulars of the arrange went which had been entered into by Sarah King. These were all the facts of the case, as they appeared to him, and be would look more closely into the cases that had been cited. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) MISS ELIZA COOK—THE QUEEN V. THOMAS WMARTON SMER DEN— APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., said he had been instructed to apply to his Lordship, on behalf of Miss Eliza Cook, for a rule, calling upon Thomas Wharton Smerden, the printer and publisher of a paper bearing the title of the Daily Advertiser to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for the publication of a gross and malicious libel, reflecting upon the conduct of the lady on whose behalf he made the present application. Miss Cook was a young lady of about 25 years of age, and of consider able poetic genius. She had written a number of poetical pieces, and had published to a great extent, and her effusions had been much admired by those who were in the habit of reading poetry. The matter to which he was calling the attention of the Court, was to Miss Cook of the most serious nature, as she had been charged with one of the most horrible crimes that could be perpetrated. In the copy of the paper, published on the 29th of May, there appeared a paragraph, which stated that she had given birth to a child, and that she had murdered it. Mr. Justice WicarrmaN—Murdered her own child? Mr. MArerm replied that the statement in the paragraph was to that effect; but there was not the slightest ground for the charge. He had a number of affidavits, which stated that Miss Cook was a person whose character, was wholly free from reproach, and that she had never been suspected of any impropriety of conduct whatever. Of course the publi cation of such a charge had caused Miss Cook and her friends much anxiety. It was in the following words :- 1 " ELIZA COOK.—Considerable anxiety has been excited on the part of the public, who do not read the poetical contri butions of the Dispatch, to know what really can have in duced its proprietors to present their subscribers with a por trait of a woman who has murdered her own child. Such is fame amongst the masses—a murderess is a heroine and a poetess unknown !" He was at a loss to divine the object which the publication of such a statement was intended to answer. He had the affidavits of all of Miss Cook's friends, who, on hearing the charge, immediately came forward and gave the most ex plicit denial to it; but he would not trouble his Lordship by reading them, as it would be sufficient for him to state that they concurred in saying that there was really not the slightest ground to suspect that Miss Cook at any period of her life had been guilty of anything which could entitle any one to cast an imputation upon her private cha racter ; and that, therefore, bah she and her friends were most anxious that the most public and distinct denial should be at once given to so foul a charge. He understood, how ever, that his Lordship after granting the rule would bear no more of the matter, as the paper complained of yesterday published a statement denying, in the most positive terms, that there was any truth in the accusation which it had put forward, and to-day he believed some communication had taken place, which would, no doubt, tend to the same result; so that any future proceedings would, in all probability, be obviated. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—YOU may take a rule. The affidavit of Miss Cook—after describing her abode; that she had contributed a great number of original poems to the Dispatch; and that its proprietors were about to present their subscribers with a portrait of her—concluded th us : " And this deponent further saith that she is a sp inster; that she never had or gave birth to a child ; and that, on the contrary, she is a spinster of strict honour and perfect chastity; and she further saith that she has never murdered, or been concerned, or charged to have been concerned in the murder or death of any child whatever." The following is the retractation to which the Learned Counsel referred " THE DISPATCH,' AND ELIZA COOK.—It is with great regret that we find that a paragraph, meant more as an appeal against the taste of the English people than an attack upon Miss Eliza Cook, has been interpreted into an aspersion upon that lady's character. The fact that one Eliza Cooke, or Cook, had recently been executed for murder, and that we had beard the question asked by a friend, who was not over well read in modern poetry—what could have induced the Dispatch to give such a portrait?—led to the publica tion of the paragraph ; and, if a libel, we considered it rather as a libel upon the taste which was better read in the criminal reports of 'the journal than in its poetical co lumns, to which a pointed allusion was made. We can only say, in addition, that Miss Eliza Cook has no warmer ad mirers of her genius than ourselves; and that it is with un feigned regret we find that a possibility for such a construc tion being put upon our paragraph did exist. It certainly was unintentional upon our part. With regard to any action for libel with which the Dispatch threatens us, we have only the option of being at their service when and where they will. If any moral damage has been done, we have made moral reparation to the extent of our power, and so the mat ter must rest." lIUNDEW V. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. Mr. Le SIX applied for a rule nisi in this case, on the ground that judgment had been prematurely signed. The facts of the ease have repeatedly appeared in The Sun. The Court acceded to the application. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) THE CASE OE DE SOUZA AND °TRESS. Mr. DOANE said he appeared on the part of the Society for the protection of Young Females, in the prosecution against Madame De Souza and others. The Learned ASSISTAXT-JUDGE inquired whether any of the defendants were present ? Charles Smith and Mary Davis, alias Stevenson, answered, when, Mr. DOANE said, that under all the circumstances, he was not instructed by the parties he represented to offer any evidence. The LEARNED JUDGE said, he recollected that the case was allowed to stand over from the last session, the principal offender having pleaded guilty, and been held to b?il, to appear for judgment when called upon, in the sum of 1001., and two sureties of 501. each, in order that the Court might hare an opportunity of seeing if the nuisance had been abated. Charles Smith then pleaded Not Guilty, as did Mary Davis, when, The AststsTaxT-JUDGE informed the jury, that as no evi dence was offered on the part of the prosecution, it was their duty to acquit the prisoners. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. In the case of Catherine Ham and Mary Ann Brickler, the Assistant-Judge ordered their recognisances to be dis charged. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Theresa Duffey, a little girl about eight years of age, was placed before :►Lr. Bingham, charged with uttering a counter te!t, half crown. ➢lary Truelove, No. 1, Gilbert-street, Oxford-street, stated that on the previous afternoon the prisoner entered her shop and requested to be served with a pound of the beat floor, in paymeot tor which she tendered the counterfeit coin produced. Witness (lid not at first detect it as being bad, and gave the child 2s. 3 tAd. change. Directly the pri soner had left the shop witness observed that the coin ap peared to differ in colour to the other money in the till. She, therefore, examined it, and found it to be nothing more than a piece Sie went in pursuit of t e tsi-one:, wed on coming up with her, taxed her wi. It uttering the tqt,t hau cro,,vn. The prisoner denied all knowledge 01 the coin being b,id. and said she had received it trot her !pother, who was iil in bed. Witness then gave her into custody. Louisa Duffey, the prisoner's molher, denied giving the child the counterfeit half crown. In reply to Mr. BINGHAM, the prisoner said she was play ing with some other children in Bird•street, when a man came up to her, and gave her the half-crown, with a request that she would go and purchase a pound of flour, and bring the change back to him. Ile also told her that if she was questioned as to how she came by the money she was to to say that she received it from her Mother, who was ill in bed. Catherine White, an intelligent little girl, nine years of age, said she was playing with the prisoner, and saw a man give her a half•crown to fetch a pound of fluur. She should know the man again if she met him. Mr. BINGHAM said he must discharge the child, as she had evidently been made a tool of by some villain. TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN BROOKS, OF THE STEAM-SHIP ORIENTAL. On the arrival of the Oriental at Alexandria, on the 6th of May last, Captain Brooks, one of the ablest and most experienced officers in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, had the gratification of receiving the following highly complimentary letter from Viscount Torrington and his fellow passengers in that ship:— (Copy.) " On board the Oriental, off Alexandria, May 6th, 1847. " TO CAPTAIN GEORGE BROOKS, COMMANDING THE ORIENTAL STEAMER. " Sir,—On behalf of the ladies and gentlemen, my fellow passengers on board this ship, and at their request, 1 haves- great pleasure in communicating to you our unanimous and grateful sense of the attention, urbanity, and kindness, by which you have so much contributed to our comfort and enjoyment, during our agreeable voyage from Southampton to this place. The long experience, careful diligence, and cautious zeal, by which you have for so many years acquired for yourself the distinguished confidence and esteem of the public at large can, we feel, receive no higher praise from us than has long been awarded to you by others, equally, per haps more competent, to render Justice to your merits. " But we desire on this occasion to present to you a more lasting memorial of our esteem than our words alone can convey, and it is with sincere pleasure that I now beg to hand to you on the part of my fellow-passengers, my family, and myself, the accompanying sum of money, which we re quest you to lay out in the purchase of such a testimonial as may be most acceptable to yourself, and best calculated to perpetuate the expression of our thankful arid friendly sense of your deserts.

Mr. Abercrombie, the surgeon, has been in constant attendance upon the survivor*, and at six o'clock last evening Mrs. Hickman remained in such a pre carious state that little hopes were entertained of her recovery. The eldest child Thomas, and also Mrs. Hickman's sister, were, on the contrary, rallying tepidly, and it was the opinion of the meaical gentleman that they are now f , ut of danger. Carolinellonetey, who was the innocent cause ut the calateity, states that she was perfectly ignorant of arsenic or anything of a poisonous nature being kept in the house; that on Sun day morning she wanted some paper to light the fire, and seeing the bag, which she imegined contained only flour, she mixed the contents wins wnat was used in snaking the pudding. It may appear most extraordinary that so large a quantity of arsenic should have been kept in any house; to account for which it is only necessary to state t at Hickman was formerly in laisiness as a glass-blower, and in his trade he used not only arsenic but nitrate of silver in large portions. That which was mixed with the pudding was the remains of a lot he purchased some time since. W hen at his former residence he had the poison placed in a bottle and concealed in the washhous.e, but on removing to the present house the bottle got broken, and the poison was then placed in the flour bag, and deposited it, the cupboard.. By some of the neighbours it was at first rumoured that the unfortunate man had wilfully poisoned his family and destroyed his own life. They were led to this con clusion from the fact of his long absence from home, and his sudden return so short a time before the tragedy oc curred. It, however, appears that about four months since, from some neglect of duty whilst in the police, he thought it better to resign, and he accoreinely sent in his clothes with his resignation. It further,appears that whilst in the force he had contracted several small debts, and being out of employment and unable to discharge them, he kept away from home, only occasionally going to see his wife and family, and that by night when be thought he should not be observed by his neighbours. On theforenoon of Sunday last, whilst the pudding was being prepared, he was engaged in his'garden fixing up for his wife drying poles. The occupier of the adjoin. ing house is positive that from ten o'clock until past one O'clock, Hickman never left the garden; he, therefore, could not have had any hand in placing the poison io the pudding.. Since his death a port mortern examina tion of his body, and also that of his son James, has been made. At eleven o'clock on Tuesday forcnoon, Mr. Wskley, M.P., and a respectable jury met at the Portobello Arms, Keusal-road, for the purpose of inquiring into the cir cumstances connected with the respective deaths of Thomas Hickman and his five children. The jury hav ing been sworn and a foreman chosen, they proceeded to the cottage to view the bodies. A more appalling scene has rarely been witnessed; in the front parlour was the elder deceased, and by his side the five other bodies were lying. The jury having returned to the inquest-room, the Coroner was informed that two only of the bodies had been opened; that the sister of Mrs. Hickman and the other boy were rapidly recovering, and p,issitily Mrs. Hickman herself might get the better of the poison in a few days. The CORONER then informed the jury that he should not at that period go into the case, but should adjourn the inquest to a future day; and, in the meantime, the; bodies of the other chikreu would be opened, and pos'ai sib:) , by that time the two women would be in a fit state to give evidence. At the present time he was quite sure that they would not be able to get anything like swis factory testimony, for they appeared to be the only parties hk. ly to throw any ►ight upon the affair. The inquest was accordingly adjourned. OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, Mrs .Asbinead, of No. 27, Theobald's court, Aldersgate street, was cro,sing St. Paul's Churchyard, near the end of Cannon street, carrying a female infant seven months old in her arms, when she was knocked down by an omnibus, the wheels of which passed over her ab domen. The child was also severely injured by the horses boots. THE FAMISHING PoOß.—This week the famishing poor at and about Nottingham have (though to no serious extent in the way of mischief) vented their teelings in conse quence of bakers, &c , not lowering the price of bread and flour in proportion to the reduction in the price of corn. That a few selfish people in the country should create dis content and fears for public safety generally is truly , kiAfa.. mous. Should any consequence .ollow the entire blame Will rest on their wicked heads. 'And :hese, along with the great monied corn gamblers, to serve their inhonnus ends, made so much prate about a fasting and praying day ; thus mocking their Maker and plundering their fellow men !

TLIE WILL OF THE LATE ARCHDUKE CHARLES OF AUSTRIA.—It is rumoured at Vienna, that some provieduns of the will of the late Archduke Charles are to be changed, with the Emperor's consent. The fortune left by the deceased, after paying all debts, only amounts to 15,000,000 of dorms (1,480,0001.). With that sum the successor to the umajorat would crud it scarcely possible to pay his brothers and sisters the lege, ies bequeathed by the will. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WORCESTER A fatal occurrence happened on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, at Norton, near this station, on Tuesday evening. by which one life has been sacrificed and another perilled. The facts, as near as they could be ascertained, are briefly these :—Three men employed on the works lay down upon the rails and actually went to sleep, and in that position a luggage train coming up, two of them were run over, and one was killed on the spot. The other is so severely injured that it is doubtful whether he can recover. He has been conveyed to the Worcester Infirmary. The 'mains of the deceased, whose name is John Tovey, have been conveyed to the nearest inn, where a full investigation into the circum stances will be opened before the county coroner. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINLRY. In the Sheriff Criminal Court, Edinburgh, on Thursday, a person, who took the name of George Bilson, was accused before Mr. Sheriff Tait of falsehood, fraud, and swindling, under cir cumstances of an extraordinary nature. It appeared that on the Bth of October, 1846, Bilson hired, for himself or a copartnery, a saloon in the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, and issued circulars and handbills announcing that goods, con sisting of Indian, Chinese, Persian, and French shawls and scarfs, and other articles of foreign manufacture, would be displayed and sold by retail, or brought to "legalised sale by private treaty." It appeared thatsuehexaprtoisceldes,bywhileine ac tually of the manufacture described, were g rea tl y i n de mand; but it was ascertained that the goods accused were not genuine, but were inferior in value and de scription to what was produced in Britain. Having disposed of many of the articles on the faith of his representation s , this constituted the charges of falsehood an d f raud. H e was also charged with forgery, inasmuch as he adhibited characters or markings on the goods, intending the same to pass as the genuine characters of the Indian, Chinese, and other foreign manufacturers. On the case being called on, no appearance was made by or for the ac cuse d . H is bail of 1001. was therefore declared to be forfeited, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. It is understood that the es t a bli s hment was broken up, and th e individuals connected with it, scattered, so that this prosecution has doubtless a ccomplished both an exposure an d termination. of the con- ND NORTH-WESTERN R AIL WAY.—The whichl t ib .a e Lb r a a On i N i d t p' ) ;aNde. this company has shim n in conveying pro visions and clothing for th e destitute lash free, h as b een suddenly checked by a dis covery of the fraud privilege has been abused.
