DEFICIENCY of GRAIN and OTHER _ CROPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. send herewith an estimate of the deficiency of grain and other crops in the United Kingdom for the year ending September 1, 1847. This estimate is founded chiefly upon the statistical facts furnished by Mr. Labouchere in his speech of Tuesday even ing, the 19th inst. The results are startling, and confirm the views you have recently expressed in relation to the dan gers which menace the commercial and monetary interests of Great Britain. If the estimate be essentially erroneous, it will be easy for some better informed correspondent of the Times to point out the errors; if substantially correct, the sooner the full extent of the evil is made public the better. Forewarned is forearmed. I enclose my card. L o ndon, January 25 . J. A. D. ESTIMATE of DEFICIENCY of GRAIN, and OTHER CROPS REDUCED to GRAIN, in the UNITED KING.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 26.—A corn-dealer of extensive busi ness and most respectable connexions in this town, named Thomas Gomm, is now in custody at the public-office, charged with obtaining moneys upon false pretences to the amount of between 3,000/. and 4,0001. The prisoner followed the occupation of a commission agent, his business being to purchase wheat, barley, and other grain from farmers and dealers at the Stratford, Worcester, and other markets, on account of extensive millers and consumers by whom he was employed. From the information which has at present transpired, it appears that Mr. Gomm has purchased grain on several occasions in the names of well-known established firms of the highest credit, subsequently sold the lots so purchased to other parties, and ultimately appropriated the money received upon these sales to his own purposes. The prisoner was to have been brought before the magis trates at the public office this morning (when Mr. Rollason, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Thomas Harding foi the defence), but without the prisoner being placed in the dock. Mr. Harding rose and said—A case of considerable im portance was, he believed, to have occupied the attention of the magistrates, but he understood that the solicitor for the prosecution intended to apply for a remand. He (Mr. Hard ing) appeared for the prisoner, who stood charged with ob taining money to the amount of 3,0001. upon false pretences. He had looked over and considered the grounds upon which a remand of the prisoner was asked, and he must admit that he thought them sufficiently strong to justify the- magis trates in taking that course. Ile would therefore consent on the part of the prisoner that the further hearing of the case should be adjourned until Friday. Mr. Rollason intimated his assent, and the prisoner was remanded accordingly. Proceedings have been adopted with the view of making Mr. Gomm a bankrupt, but great difficulty is found in the attempt to establish an act of bankruptcy.-- In the meantime parties, in a condition, are selling off the prisoner's available effects, and it is feared little will be left for the remaining creditors. SOME REMARKS ON THE PRO POSED ADMISSION OF SUGAR INTO THE BREWERIES AND DISTILLERIES. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We take for granted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has arranged his accounts in such a manner that he can afford to sacrifice two-thirds of the revenue he at present derives from the tax on malt, before he consented to the measure he has expounded for the admission of sugar into the breweries, if he has not so made np his mind, we are free to tell him that will be the effect of his plan : thus, barley when malted yields a given quantity of saccharine matter, equal, perhaps, to about seven pounds of sugar. The process is carried on for this object, and for rendering the grains of cern friable. Now, these advantages a brewer can derive from a bushel of malt can be obtained by adding seven pounds of sugar to a bushel of kiln-dried barley. The revenue, consequently, will lose the difference of money betwixt the duty on a bushel of malt, 2s. Sid., and the duty on seven pounds of sugar, 100., occasioning a loss to the Crown on the small quantity here taken of one shilling and tenpence ; for this sacrifice we suppose the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has the national income to manage, is prepared. The admission of sugar into the breweries, however, dwindles into insignificance, when compared with the evils likely to arise from the other part of his plan, namely, the terms of the admission of sugar into the distilleries. Here we have a system of bounty originated, and ingeniously mixed up with it—a scheme, against which even the Chancellor of the Ex chequer himself, ouglir to be the first to hold up his hands. No one can foretel the extent of mischief to which this measure may lead. The plan proposes that the distiller shall clear his sugar from the bonded warehouses, and pay duty on it at the same rate as other folk, and when he is called upon to pay the spirit duty he is to be allowed at the rate of 12s. 10d.—in fact, keeping up the expensive machinery, now in existence to collect fourteen shillings, to collect fourteen pence ! and this extravagant scheme is based upon the supposition that all descriptions of sugar will yield the like quantity of spirits—namely, eleven gallons and a half. Now, it is thoroughly known that few articles vary so much in their yield as sugar; some sugar not giving more than five gallons of spirits, while others will yield twenty ; and yet, according to the scheme in tended to become a permanent law, before us, the distiller is to receive 12s. 6d., for each quantity of eleven and a half gallons of spirits, a fixed amount of drawback upon an uncommonly fluctuating extract. The Chancellor of the Exchequer may fancy he is perfectly safe, looking to the results of the experiments laid before him, but we will tell him if he is safe to-day, he may not be so to morrow. Is he or any one else prepared to say that the art of distillation has reached perfection? Is he or any one else prepared to say that the distiller will not and cannot dis• cover some new mode of carrying on his process, or some new implements by which he will be enabled to obtain more than eleven gallons and a half from each cwt. of sugar? The Right Honourable Gentleman seems to have pinned his faith on what has been told him by the West Indians A little reflection will tell him, that, if the average quality of sugar will yield eleven gallons and a half, the superior qualities will yield much more; the superior qualities of sugar are precisely the sort the distiller will select far his operations. Had this measure been brought forward by the protec tionists we should have thought it an ingenious and novel mode, on thir part, of fleecing the community for the advan tage and profit of the colonists. SANATORY REGULATIONS. --- The Corporation of London are determined to adopt the strongest measures to secure the observance of sanatory regulations. In the Court of Aldermen held some days ago, Sir James Duke made some observations founded on the emphatic representations of Doctor Lynch, in the Court of Common Council, on the state of the lanes and alloys of the•extensive district of Furring don Without ward. The following letter was tra,nsinitte , l by the clerk of the Commissioners of Sewers to Sir James Duko, in consequence of the remarks made by that Alderman, urging the necessity of making efforts for the protection of public health:— "Sewers-office, Guildhall, Jan. 15; 1847. Sir,—l am directed by kr. Deputy Peacock, Chair man of the Commissioners of Sewers, to signify to you that he has seen in the Times newspaper of Tuesday last, a report of some observations made by you, in your place in the Court of Aldermen, on the preceding day, refer ring to a presentment made by the inquest jury of St. Dunstan,' relative to some old houses in Fetter lane, in which you are made to state there was abundant me dical evidence to show that - the- densely crowded state of the neighbourhood, and the want of sewage, produced fevor to an alarming extent, to which the presentment " The Chairman desires me to dray our attention to the fact that within the last four years one the - Commis sionors of Sewers have expended, about 26,0004 in the construction of sewers in the wardoflfarringdon Without, and that they are _proceeding: in. that work carefully and steadily. They have reason to .believe that upon in quiry, but very few places in that ward. - will be found to be without a sewer. But the Chairman directs me to say that upon finding any such place, however remote, in which a public sewer can 133 constructed, which at present has it - not, if you will be good enough to attend the Court, as a Comuiissioner, or otherwise print it out to the Commissioners, their immediate attention will be given to remedy the grievance as far as possible. " I have tho honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, ‘-JOSEPII DA W, Prin. Clerk." The most firm hopes of a strong support of the efforts of Governwelit to improve the health of the vast popu lation of the metropolis are entertained, in consequence of the prompt attention paid by the Committee of Sewers to the subje.3t of complaint.

(Room 22, before Mr. Examiner SMITH, and Mr. Assistant- Examiner FRERE.) NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY (No. 2). At the close of the case it was decided that in several in stances the standing orders had not been complied with. The Examiner rose at four o'clock. (Room 23, before Mr. Examiner MAY and Mr. Assistant- Examiner GUNNELL.) GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND ARDROSSAN RAIL W AY. The opposition was exceedingly severe, and occupied the whole of the day. Several allegations complaining of the inaccuracy of the plans and sections, were sustained. The case had not closed when the Examiner rose. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEACH, Jan. 27. THE QCEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE MEDWAY NAVIGA TION COMPANY v. TILE SOUTII-EASTURN RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case a mandamus had been issued by this Court, at the instance of the Medway Navigation Company, directing the South-Eastern Company forthwith to cause their engi neer, or other agent, to inspect or examine a certain locomo tive steam- engine belonging to the Medway Company, which at the time the mandamus was issued was on a siding of the railway near Tonbridge, and to report thereon to the railway company, and to give, 'within seven days after such report, to the Medway Company a certificate of approval of such engine, pursuant to the provisions of the Act under which the railway was constructed. It ap peared by this Act that no locomotive, or other engine, or other description of moving power, should at any time be brought upon, or used on the line, unless it should have been approved of by the company, and they were required, within 14 days after notice to them, by any person de sirous of bringing any engine en the railway, to cause their engineer or other agent to inspect and examine such engiae, at any place within five miles of the railway, and to report thereon to the company ; and that they, within seven days, in case the engine should be fit and proper I. be used, should give a certificate to the party of their approval. In their return to the writ the South- Eastern Company simply set forth that, on the passing of the Maidstone branch, the Medway Company obtained power to construct sidings, communicating with the main lines of the branch, for the conveyance of their goads or minerals to the main line, and that such locomotive power as the South- Eastern possessed should be used for the conveyance of these goods and minerals at the usual rates along their line, and that they had incurred great expense, and afforded every convenience to the Medway Company for this purpose. The Medway Company demurred to this return, on the ground of insufficiency in law, and that the right of having their goods so carried did not destroy the right of the Medway Company to have a certificate of.approval of the engine in question. The case now came on for argument in the usual form. Blr. ALEXANDER had been heard at great length on behalf of the railway company. He contended that the return was sufficient, and that the allegations in the mandamus were not maintainable, inasmuch as they were too large and general. Mr. M. CHAMBERS was now heard in support of the writ. He said as the return did not state that the engine was an unfit one, it followed that they must assume that it was a proper engine, and that it was incumbent upon the rail way company to direct their engineer to furnish them with a certificate of the fitness of the engine, and that the Medway Company should be furnished by the railway com pany with a certificate of approval. The 153 d section of their Act, the one out of which the proceedings arose, dis tinctly enacted that the company should grant a certi• ficate of approval if the engine was found to be a fit and proper one. The approval of the company was required in order that they might be prevented from solely depending upon their engineer, and from his supplying them, either through carelessneas or design, with a false or capricious report. He admitted that the engineer was a proper person to make such a report, and that the company would be per fectly justified in saying, if he presented an unfavourable report, that the engine should not run on their lne. It was established as a fact that the engine in this case was a fit and proper one, and that the Medway Company had adopted the proper course, in order to run it on the line. In accord ance with the terms of the Act, the public might run an en gine over the line, provided :it was a fit one. The legal construction of the Act, he contended, was that all parties should not only have the power of running carriages, but locomotives along a railway—in point of fact, using the railway as a public highway. The mandamus could not be too large or general, inasmuch as both the engineer's report and the approval of the company must be obtained. Then again, the word "approved" did not mean that an engine might be rejected on frivolous grounds. If the engineer sent in a report stating that the engine was unfit, whilst the contrary was the case, the company was bound to give the required certificate of approval, as the Act did not make them entirely dependent upon the engineer, whose opinion ' might be biassed. Lord DENMAN said the Court could not help saying that the Act made a very imperfect provision for inquiring into the capacity of an engine. Some other officer than the en gineer should have bees named, but the Court could not construct a new Act to meet this particular case. The man damus should have directed a report. If a company refused to do that which the Act required, an action would lie for maliciously refusing to perform the conditions the Act re quired. Mr. Justice PhrrEsote said the Act foolishly enacted that engines and carriages might be run on certain condi tions, but it was merely inferential, as it did not say that they might be run. Mr. CHAMBERS held that all railways were nothing but public highways, on which carriages of a certain description might be run on certain conditions, and if he established this right, the public might run locomotives along such lines with as much right as they now took a horse at tached to a carriage along a common road. In the case of the King v. The Severn and Wye (2d Barnewell and Alder son) Chief Justice Holroyd stated distinctly that a rail way was nothing more nor less than a public highway, and L ERIDGE said be had no doubt that a that persons using a c ertain mode of a carriage might use it l e i n r. pa j y u i s n t g ice to c li o . railway, was a highway under certain restrictions. Mr. Justice narricsos said, by the 128th section the com pany was empowered to provide locomotive power and car riages, but they were not commanded. I n a case re po r ted in ex-parte Dowling's cases, a mandamus was applied for to compel a railn ay company to convey the goods of a carrier along their line, as this Act did lot compel them to carry all goods. The application was refused. The ques tion was an important one, as all ra il way A cts were simi larly worded. Ile submitted that his clients had a right to run their engine on the line, and hoped the Court would were constructed they y er them, but it did compel the company to allow it to be run, without driving them to try their right of action. Lord DBNMAN said all . railways were public roads, i i g ch hts not follow that all consequences which attached to . roads must attach to railways. One of these public e. 3 would be that any one of the public might run consequences rtainwl; leased. Ile thought it any carriages be I , ' would be very gasavethethe Arehtshlicunedeet alarming to hold out that any person might bring an engine and work it over a line at his ewn pleasure. Now the Act he thought had provided a proper security against the results, by the impro per use of which might ensue he certificate of the engineer and the approval of n amely, t th e company. The mandamus called upon th e company to and grant their certificate . . their approval before the engineer his, i n o pposition to the spirit of the Act; there had granted called upon him to grant his certificate that the writ which a fit and proper one, without h' b • I IS -eying that the engine was bad. examined it, was clearly , Mr. Justice PA TTY -S o si.and the other Judges a gree d with the Chief Justice, an d that t h e mandamus as it stood was too 1 • larghe mandamus vr e.

Mr. Justice Erle proceeded to give judgment.in this case th g.is mornin The facts of the case were, that Mr. Newton, a barrister, had become indeb ted to Mr. Bankes in the sum of 41. fo; groceries, and in consequence of the non-pavment of the money Mr. Bankes sued Mr. Newton in the Sheriffs Court, and obtained a verdict in his favour. Mr. Newton after wards applied fora rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the clerk of t he plaintiff's attorney had, during th e absence of Mr. Newton, represented the cause as undefended, and consequently the cause was taken, and a verdict obtained.

All the arguments adduced, which were entirely of a tech. nice! and legal character, were directed to this matter. The COURT decided the point in favour of the defendant. The other cases argued were demurrers of , no interest ex cept to the parties concerned.

The bills and admission were then put in; but not read or handed to the jury. The Learned SECONDARY said the defendant did not appear, but there did not seem to be any reason to doubt the correct ness of the claim. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. The remainder of the morning was occupied in hearing a case for work done, but which was not of the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Edward Carnegie, alias Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Engitieers, was brought before the Lord Mayor for re examination. Mr. Wilkins, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Smith, from whom the prisoner fraudulently obtained 5/. ; and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner, said that he had called at the Athenaeum and Carlton Clubs, to both of which the Hon. Captain Carnegie, to whom the prisoner said he was related, belonged, but it was supposed that gentleman, who disclaimed all knowledge of such a pers on, was out of town, as there were letters at the clubs directed to him. Mr. Smith's(the prosecutor's) evidence, given or. Saturday, having been read over by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, Mr. Humphreys cross-examined that gentleman at consi derable length. The following was the substance : It was on the 7th of January, 1845, I was induced, by the prisoner's statement that he was cousin of the Hon. Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Navy, and Mr. Fox Maule, to lend him the 51. Three months before that my acquaintance commenced with him. I first met him in Coventry-street, Leicester-square, in a coffee-house. It was a casual acquaint ance, and arose about an atmospheric railway. Mr. Humphreys—De you not believe him to be a scientific man? Mr. Smith—ln some respects he certainly is— (Laughter)—but he is by no means mathematical enough to be an engineer. Ido not, upon my oath, believe him to be what is called a scientific man. Mr. Humphreys—You must be so good as to answer me without drawing upon your wit. All I want is a straight forward answer. Did he, before he borrowed the Si., tell you that these two gentlemen were his cousins? Mr. Smith — Four or five times. I think the first time he mentioned it was in the early part of November, 1844. He told me when -I saw him first that he had a patent for an atmospheric .railway. Mr. Humphreys—Were you not very intimate with him ? Mr. Smith—No. Mr. Humphreys—Were you not so intimate with him as to receive presents from him, and to make presents to his wife? Mr. Smith—l received a book from him, and I re turned it to him." I never made a present to the Countess de Beaumont, except a rosette, which represented a thistle, and to which her ,Latlyship took a fancy, as a similar one was worn by Sir Henry rottinger, who 'was a steward at the dinner at which we were—(Laughter)—liothing further. Mr. Humphreys—Have you seen him on board steam boats? Mr. Smith—l think I saw him in the early part of 1845 in a Woolwich steam-boat, and he bolted as soon as we reached the first station. It was between London and Black friars-bridges. He saw me go to the captain. I meant to, give him in charge, but he was too quick and clever, and he cut off as soon as possible. Mr. Humphreys—Did you 'know that he was in the Queen's Bench Prison for debt?, Mr. Smith—Not till Mr. Turner, the silversmith, who has suffered considerably by him, told me of, that fact. Mr. Humphreys=Do you not kiwis that that debt was settled? Mr. Smith—l heard that it was compromised for half-a-crown in the pound.—(Laughter.) Re-examined by Mr. Wilkins—He did not borrow the money . until after he had introduced me at a merchant's office in Lime-street of the , highest respectability. He in troduced me there as an engineer, and recommended me as qualified to serve the firm in that capacity. He appeared to be known at the house as Captain Carnegie, and he on that day said he had been brought up at the Woolwich Royal Academy, and that he was the cousin of the Honourable Captain Carnegie and Mr. Fox Maule. He and the Coun tess walked with me thence, to my office in White Lion court, and he said he had forgotten his purse at home, and he wanted to go shopping with the Countess, so I gave him the money at my office. Mr. Goodman said the presence of . the Hon. Captain Car negie was necessary. Mr. Wilkins said he had no doubt of the prompt attend ance of that gentleman if he happened to be in town. Mr. Humphreys said -he knew the Lord Mayor had no disposition to send a case before a jury, except there appeared to be a probability of conviction. Now, the present case had nothing of a positiveness about it. t was brought for ward upon a particular statute, which required that the false pretence should haie been made' at the time the pro perty was obtained, and the fraud must have been grounded upon that immediate pretence, taking the victim off his guard, and inducing him to do that which but for the present representation he would not have' done. Now, there was nothing at all new in the transactions of the 7th of January, when the money was obtained. The pretence of the relationship had been made over and over again, and not a tittle was said of which the .prosecutor was not long cognizant. It was to be attributed to the whole of the con duct of the person from the commencement of the acquaint ance that the prosecutor parted with the money. That conduct had created, .a confidence and an intimacy, and the loan sprung out of the variety of circumstances detailed by Mr. Smith. It would be idle to think of a conviction in such a case. Mr. Wilkins said, that Mr.' Humphreys wished to make the Lord Mayor decide a most important point of law. The case appeared to him to want-a very little more confirmation. It was not to be supposed that a man who had a design upon another would at once go up to him and say, "I am the cousin of such or such a great man, and I'll thank you to lend me 51." Some previous preparation was necessary, and the prisoner showed that he did not want skill in arrang ing matters so as to inspire further confidence. He (Mr. Wilkins) could, by and by, produce 'witnesses who would show that neither Carnegie nor Beaumont was the prisoner's name; and he re_quested that his Lordship ' would remand the prisoner till Monday. The 'Loan MATOR—I have heard quite sufficient to . en title you to claim a remand hntil that day. SO UTH WARK. William Btu:field, night porter at the Catherine 'Wheel Inn, in the Borough, was placed at the bar before Mr, Seeker, charged on suspicion with stealing a pocket-book containing 3001., censisting of 1001. and four 50/. Bank of -England notes, the property of Mr. Francis Skipper, residing at Kingston-on-Thames. The complainant stated that he lived at Kingston, from which place he arrived in town on the preceding day, and with a friend, a Mr. James West, went and dined at Drum mond's Hotel, in the New-road, Marylebone. As they in tended to visit the Princess's Theatre the same evening, before they left the hotel he deposited his pocket-book, con taining a 100/. note and four 501. Bank .of England notes, inside his left boot, a practice which he had adopted on pre vious occasions for safety: the leg of his trousers being strapped down tightly underneath the boot rendered such a place of depository less liable to an accident. Subsequently to quitting the theatre he and his friend got into a cab, and called at different places, after which they proceeded to the Catherine Wheel Inn in the Borough, where they intended to sleep, And where they arrived at about a quarter before five o'clock that morning. Previously. to alighting from the vehicle'lAttid-entering the inn-yardy he distinctly felt that his pocket-hook was safe in the leg of his boot, and 'he and his . friend were shown up to a bed-room situated in the gallery, which surrounded the inn yard, by the, prisoner, who attended with a candle, and assisted first Mr. West in pulling off his boots. Afterwards the prisoner attended upon him, and while he (complainant) sat upon the foot of the bed the prisoner pulled off his left boot, and the moment he did so he exclaimed that he had left the gates open, and that he must hasten and lock them, or the yard would be robbed. On saying these words the prisoner hurried out of the room' with the boot, and com plainant at the 'motnent forgetting the pocket-book was in side made no remark, but in a moment afterwards recollect ing the circumstance, went into the gallery and called back the prisoner. The latter returned in a few minutes, and when he was informed that the pocket-book containing the money was in the boot he had taken away, his reply was, that he knew nothing about it, and that he was certain no thing of the kind was there, and ran and fetched the boot to prove he was correct. CoMplainant, confident that the pocket-book, with its contents,' had been in the boot up to the period he got into the bed-room, and that it must have been seen' by the prisoner in pulling off the boot, expressed his determination to have it restored, adding, at the same time, that he should call in a policeman to examine the place for it. Upon hearing these 'wads, the prisoner immediately threw open his coat and waistcoat, pulled inside out all his pockets to show that he had not got it, and said he should call up his master to acquaint him with the serious nature of the imputation that was , made • upon his character. Complainant then intimated his wish to descend from the room to call a . policeman, but the prisoner requested that his master might be apprized of what had happened be fore resorting to that step. Complainant acceded, and Mr. Gunder, the landlord, was aroused 'from his bed, and in formed of the circumstance, and he proceeded with them to examine the bed-room, to see whether the pocket-book and its contents might not have dropped on the floor in pulling the boot off. No discovery, however, was made, and complainant then proposed a second time to send for A policeman,when the landlord interposed , spoke of the honesty of his servant, who had been with him eight years, and said that he was convinced the man had not taken the pocket-book, And, therefore, there was no use in making any noise about it to disturb his other lodger's. Complainant, however, insisted on it, and descended into 'the yard for the purpose, but finding the gate locked he returned, and, having reiterated his determination 'on the subject, he was then accompanied by the prisoner, who unlocked the gate leading from the inn yard into the street, and a policeman was then called in and informed of the whole of the circumstances. Another exa mination of the room and other places below was then made, but the property.ires'not found. • In reply to Mr. - Szcxxa, thet.emplainant said, that he and his friend were perfectly sober (a fact which was borne out by Mr. Inspector Yates, who took down the charge at the station-house when the prisoner was brought there), and that the priSbner was about - five minutes absent when he left the room with the boot which contained the pocket-book to lock the yard gates:. Mr. James West stated that he was , present when the com plainant placed the pocket-book and its contents in his left boot at Drummond's Hotel. The -witness confirmed that part of the complainant's statement relative to his having missed the pocket-book in the-bedroom of the above inn, and the subsequent 'conduct of the accused and his master when it was.proposed to send for a policeman to search the former, as well - as that part-of the premises where it was likely the pocket-book would have been concealed in the event of its, haVing been taken by the prisoner. The prisoner here asked if he had not shown every dispo sition to render all the assistance hp could in the discovery .of the lost property, and whether he had not voluntarily, and before the policeman entered, expressed his willingness to submit to be searched, and in furtherance of that object had turned all his pockets inside out, to_convince the boo.com T plain,u . n e t that he had not possessed himself of th e pocket -k ? h prisoner then, addressing complainant, asked him if he had not offered him 10/. to find him the proper . y ? The complainant, in reply, said that he certainly did , offer the sum mentioned for the re,storation of his money, d he admitted at the same tim e that had it u b t e h e e n m r us es t o u r% he would most willingly have g iven 201., b that impediments were thrown in the way w hen h . e first sun gested the propriety of sending for a po a li ek ce e m t- a h n en , k h a e n a d g t a h m e reiterated his full conviction that his p 300/. had been taken from him while in the bedroom at the Catherine Wheel. nrsoliceman 101 M said, tha t when he h w e as ln ca a l n le f d th in e a p n e d ek a e p t : • ed of the circumstances a ttending t n tl e ie t m ile book containing the money, he proceeded s rde t r o t e e x fi a n m d i bedroom and other plac es in the house Gunder, but could not suceeed .

He also heard the same person desire the c om p lainant not to make such . a noise about the affair to disturb the'other lodgers. The policeman added that, at the complaitraa's request, he took the pri soner into custody, and to the station-house. Mr. Gunder Raid that, iihen he was awoke and informed of the -circurnstauCes, he tlid say that he was confident of his , V:I WORKS by ROBERT J, CIILVER WELL,M.D.M.R.C.G. servant's honesty—that he proposed searching the be drootti f One Shflling each. by post One and Sixpence and in fact rendered every assistance himself, and that it was unjust to insinuate that he threw any imepediments i n the . 0 N SINGLE andMARItiED LIFE way of discovery; and that his only motive in req uestin g (An Original Medical Ltistory. the compleinent to be more quiet during the examination of CONTENTS: MIS the room was that the rest of the guests in the house might Analysis of the Affections — Ear l y Conventional Restraint not be disturbed at such an unseasonable hour.

A. Soames, Esq., of Vanbrugh-fields, Blackheath, for the purpose of committing felony. and also with breaking a por- • tion of the cell at the station-house. In consequence of a letter which was found amongst the stolen property, a clue to the owners of most of the articles was obtained. This letter was addressed to Master .Edward Newman, of the Upper School, Greenwich Hospital, and, on the facts of the case being communicated to Sir Robert Stopford, Bart., in formation was obtained that about the Bth or 9th inst. the lockers belonging to the boys of the Naval School had been opened, and numerous boxes stolen therefrom ; the said rob beries having been effected by persons who must have scaled the park wall into the asylum-grounds, and escaped with the plunder in the same way. - An officer, in charge of about a dozen of the boys from the Naval. School, attended, and each identified the pro perty respectively missing from the lockers. . Police-sergeant Smith said he had made further inquiry since the first examination, and discovered that the " cave ' in which the prisoners were found, had formerly been an ice -house, and not being required by a subsequent tenant, was filled up. The entrance to the cave is about two feet by two feet six wide; about fifty feet of it a man might stand erect in. Police-constable Patmore deposed being spoken to by Mr. Soames, and going with that gentleman to the spot, to his discovery of the prisoners by means of a dog, and to smoking them out by burnt straw. The prisondrs denied all knowledge of Mr. TRAILL said he should again remand the prisoners. Phillipps, with tears in his eyes, declared his innocence, and was about - to explain his conduct, saying that he could call witnesses to prove that lie had slept at home during the nights in question, when Mr. TRAILL remarked that he had better reserve what he had to say, and in the meantime consult with his friends as to the course he ought to take under the circumstances. The prisoners were then removed from the dock, Phillipps being placed in a cell by himself. It is believed that he wit make disclosures of importance on the next examination.

A search being made, it appeared that some thieves had effected an entrance from the rear of the premises, and by picking the locks of two doors made their way into the shop, from which they took property, consisting of gold and silver plate, to the value of upwards of 300/. Fifty sovereigns which were left in the till on the previous night, were fortunately overlooked by the thieves. Mr. Kingscote had an interview with Sir George Grey, yesterday.
