The financial policy of Sir G. C. la.w is seems mainly to consist of accumulating evety possib, e burden on the present generation, for the purp ose of exonerating posterity I We have had m any painful illustrations of this fact, of which a few instances may suffice. Duriug the war, when all our resources should be strictly husbanded, and the unnecessary outlay of even a single shilling shou!d be carefully avoided, be arranged one of the grew'•• est jobs ever perpetrated, viz., the purchase at an exorbitant rate of the hereditary pension payable to the Duke of GRAFTON out of the Excise—and of one-fourth of that charged on the Post-office re venue, for the heirs of the Duke of SCROMBERG. Paying for the former no less than 193,' s THE SUN, LONDON, SA 1 U.RDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1857 the old, than to construct new barracks ! Besides, by erecting permanent new barracks at Aldershot, " the entire beauty of the invention would be lost," as the Times said of the Exchequer Bonds I This is an illustration of the existing red-tapist principles. A large expenditure is sanctioned for one purpose, but it is forthwith devoted on minis terial responsibility to something very different indeed, and to which the people would never assent if duly informed, at the proper time—we wish this mock responsibility could be converted into a real bona fide one, where the guardians of the public purse were consulted before any liability was incurred, and when they have only what is vulgarly termed " Hobson's choice," either to break contracts already entered into, and to abandon a heavy ex penditure previously incurred, or to go on with a further lavish outlay of little practical utility. A decided stop should be put to this impolitic and, we will add, highly unconstitutional system. The entire functions of the House of Commons are being gradually transferred to the Executive. Everymat ter is generallyconcluded before the Repro 3ntatives of the People receive the slightest intima tion of what is contemplated. The Prince's wishes are, it seems, all that is required. We believe our ancestors would not have submitted quite so patiently if such things were attempted in their days—and we are tempted to exclaim, as did the Barons at Runnymede—no/umus leges Anglian mutari ! We are not inclined to yield to the most fastidious German taste. The British Constitution seems to be indeed "on its trial." We earnestly hope it may pass unscathed through the ordeal. Thanks be to GOD there is now every reason able prospect of the Sale of Poisons Bill speedily becoming part and parcel of the statute law of England ! Immediately tho measure has been transformed into an enactment by the utterance of the magical words— La Reine le veut— a new obstruction will instantaneously have sprung up in the pathway of would-be Suicides and Murderers 1 It will be then wonderfully difficult indeed for any one to obtain poisons except for purposes alto gether legitimate. Whereas hitherto, the facilities afforded for the purchase of poisons have been and are at this moment absolutely frightful to contem plate. So notoriously is it thus, that the noble Earl the President of the Council could state last evening, without risk of contradiction, this appalling fact, that "at present there were no less than sixteen thousand persons engaged in selling poisons without any re striction or registration, and he believed that there were annually no less than five thousand deaths from poison —a third or fourth probably of the whole number who annually took poison." We all know perfectly well by our remembrance of the past few years of the National Experience how many of these same deaths by poison have been the result of Criminal Design, and how many of them have been the consequence of easily-avoid able Accident I As to the Accidents we can count them up wholesale--from cases like that at Weymouth, where a chemist's boy made a slight mistake about "black drops,",to others like that at Bath, where one of the preposterous hieroglyphics upon a medical prescription was fatally mistaken for something else by another chemist's boy, to the destruction of an invalid then apparently in a fair way towards recovery. Again, as to the other category of Deaths by Poisons, those resulting from Criminal Design and not from mere criminal carelessness. Is not the Catalogue that could be readily strung together upon the instant one of absolutely diabolical hideousness Comprising within its ample range several assassins comparable in their atrocity to a BORGIA, or a BRIIffILLIERS A wretch like DOTE, with the credulity of an idiot, and the cunning of an ape, and the cruelty of a savage, occupying a prominent position upon that black catalogue. A low, blackguard, gam bling, country surgeon, exceeding even him in infamy—killing any one that came in his way, however near and dear to him by family relations, filling a churchyard with his victims, turning his house into a periodical dead-honse, and dying at last the death of a dog, the object of universal execration—damning himself to everlasting infamy in the memory of his fellow-creatures by the ever detestable "name, style, and title" of the Rugeley Poisoner Instances like these, of course are, thank Heaven, exceptional instances. But there are others that are what we may call with reason generical. Quietners !—does not that one word tell a whole ghastly series of death stories, down in the manufacturing districts, where men have gono mad with drink, only to "die the death" by the hands of their so-called helpmates ? Enough, however, the reasons for the Bill now passing rapidly through its various stages .in the Impe rial Legislature, are obviously all-sufficient. They are almost universally recognized. Their suffi ciency is hastening the completion of this novel and henificent design on the part of the Govern ment. A project adequate, almost of itself, to redeem the otherwise wasted session of 1857, from an insignificant, almost entirely infructuous of, save in this one particular, any really valuable legislative improvement. The terrors of Typhus passed a few years ago one of our most useful Acts. How the homeless slept and lodged might have been a matter of in difference for much longer, but saaitary inquiries sheered that West End lives were in danger when the filth and overcrowding of back slums and blind alleys breed infectious disease. Clime, too, was palpably nursed where individuals re sided like savages amid the temptations of civiliza tion. The benevolent projectors of the " Com mon Lodging Houses Act," a report of the ope ration of which, after six years' trial, now lies be fore us, could appeal to the fears of all for the powers which they demanded. Many thought at the time that the " Englishman's Castle" ap peared to be somewhat threatened, others that it would prove a vex diens and ineffective measure. The facts enumerated in this report seem to sho► conclusively that too limited rather than too ex tensive powers have been granted ; and that such power as has been entrusted to the police and magistrates has been used with great efficiency. A vast amount of infectious disease has obviously been hindered from coming into existence, much has been properly dealt with at once, and surely cleanliness, and separation of the sexes, has done something for morality. It is worth while for our readers to know a few of the cases which, having been brought before the magistrates and adjudicated upon, can be subject to no doubt. It might well have been thought other wise that t - here was some exaggeration. Here, then, is a specimen or two. No. 17, Lincoln-court, St. Giles—in ono room ten feet square, wherein threk.peirsons would be allowed by the regulations under; the Act, seven men, nine women, and one chi'ed were found huddled together in the most filthy state ; the bedding dirty b e y on d descrip titm ; no partitions or ventilation, and, a few minutes before the visit of the officer, one of the females had been confined. No. 93, Shadwell, where twenty-five persons would be allowed, forty fire, chiefly Lascars, were found. From the filthy and crowded state of the house, and the fumes of opium, the place was intolerable,--.. -No. Cock-hill, Ratcliffe, in a room having space for , five persons, fifteen were found in a most deplora ble condition, eleven sleeping on the floor covered only by a few filthy rags.-----No. 31, Farmer street, Shadwell, in six small rooms were found twenty-nine persons, Lascars and low prostitutes; in one of the rooms was the dead body of a Las car, covered with an old rug, and in a room ad joining, another Lamar, in a dying state, lying in a cupboard amongst a few rags.-No. 8, Lincoln-court, St. Giles, where five persons would be allowed by the regulations, three male adults, and nine females were found, the rooms, bed, and bedding in a dirty state, and no partitions to secure the privacy of the sexes. In another lodging-house for emigrants, 250 persons were found where only 99 could be properly accom modated. Perhaps it would hardly be credited, except on legal evidence, that such hotbeds of disease, such nurseries of immorality and crime, were common in the midst of London, and are as yet far from being extinct. " The authorities," however, ap pear to be using their powers with most praise worthy diligence, and we may anticipate that in a short time not many common lodging-houses will escape the hands of the authorised reformers. The process is this :—On learning that a house is used as a lodging-house, the officer serves a notice on the keeper of it, warning him to regis ter the house, and leaving him a copy of the regulations. On the officer's certifying that the regulations have been complied with, the house is registered; if at the expiration of• the time al lowed the house is not put in a proper state, re gistration is refused. A night visit, with the requisite means to bring the case before a magis trate, follows. The principal requisites are what might be expected—ventilation, cleaning, lime washing, decent and clean bedding, water in plenty, water-closets, sinks, trapped drains, and all the modern list of prophylactic appliances. Arrangements for the privacy and separation of the sexes are of course insisted on. It is gratifying to know that property thus dealt with is " improved in every respect, and its value greatly increased." As the prices charged for lodging, from 2d. t 3 6d. a night, are not raised, it would seem that the improved lodging-houses are sought by the class who use them in prefe rence to the filth, dirt, and over-crowding of the old ones, and that regular custom compensates for the cost of cleanliness and decency. This inci dental fact is really a hopeful one, and may well encourage some of our model lodging-house philan thropists to attempt something at a lower rate of charge than they have yet done. The report states that could " houses be erected, or converted to the purpose of being let out in rooms to married couples at rates not exceeding one shilling a-week per room, with the necessary provision for he:4th and cleanliness, the greatest benefit would be conferred on the poorer classes." The present model lodging houses are, it seems, occupied by a superior class —mechanics, drapers' assistants, and even mer chant's clerks. Something cheaper is still wanted, and something not interfering too rigidly with their habits of freedom. It appears from the returns annexed to the Re port, that not fewer than 14,570 lodging-houses have been served with notices to register. Of these 6,292 have been surveyed and registered to accommodate 91,106 persons. At the time of the survey 103,444 persons were found lodged in them, and doubtless thousands more had fre quently occupied then:tat one time. The lairge num ber of 6,725 houses had to be given up as wholly unfit for the purpose ! They mostly consisted of single rooms, and at the present time 1,593 are under supervision, to bring them within the terms of the Act, and fit them for registration. Under the Nuisances Removal Act, 2,471 cases have been reported as existing in common lodging houses. These, except some thirty or forty yet pending before the magistrate, have all been re moved. Indeed, the Report gives abundant evi dence that the police and magistrates are vigilantly and energetically discharging their duties under these Acts, and that they must have saved all of us a large amount of infectious disease, in addition to the social good effected. Greater powers are asked, and if used with the same moderation and firmness, they might be advantageously granted. THE MANCRESTER ART TREASURES EXHIBITION. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY. We were enabled to state a f ew d a y s ago th a t i n a ll probability her Majesty would pay her visit to the Ex hibition on or about the 29th of the present month. We are now in a pwition to add that there is little doubt but that her Majesty will arrive in Manchester on the 29th, in which case the royal visit will be made on Tuesday, the 30th instant. It is not, we believe, as yet decided whether the visit will be one of state or strictly private, but a strong and general feeling has been expressed among all classes in Manchester that the visit may be of a nature to enable the public to give her Majesty a I,yal and hearty recap• tion upon this her second visit to the great centre of manufacturing industry. We know not whether the Prince of Prussia may be in England at the time of the royal visit ; but we venture to express a hope that, under the circumstances in which the Prince is placed in relation to this country at the present moment, an opportunity may be afforded the citizens of Manchester personally to testify their appro bation of his 11 , )yil Highness's alliance with the eldest daughter of her Majesty. _ _ . Her Majcsty and the Prince will be accompanied, we believe, by the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales, and two of the junior members of the royal family. The number of visitors at the exhibition yesterday (half-crown day) was only 3,663. Of these 2,797 paid at the doors, and 806 presented season tickets. The ♦isitors by railway numbered 1,921. The wet morning and the apprehension of a crowd of holiday visitors, no doubt kept many of the season ticket-holders away. The limited attendance of yesterday was, however, amply compensated for to-day, as the number of visitors is es timated to reach 10,000. The numbers registered by the turnstiles as having paid at the doors at one o'clock amounted to 6,844. At three o'clock the index showed 8,629. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN OOBRZSPONDENT.)

Baring, will be ready for launching on Monday next. to be drawn up on this subject, and will submit it to the European Cabinets. It is said that the Austrian Government will support the views of the Porte." • A. letter from Constantinople of the 25th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says :—A fresh outrage has just been committed at Pera, which has caused considerable consternation among the European population. On the night of the 22d the house of M. Timoni, first dragornan of the Swedish Lega tion, was broken into by a band of 20 armed men, who pillaged it of everything it contained of value. Fresh complaints have been addressed on this occa sion to the Government by all the ambassadors, who, it is said, have demanded the dismis3al of the minis'er of police. It is hoped that this measure of satisfaction will be speedily accorded, and the more so that the incapacity of that functionary is so well known that it has several times been in con templation to remove him." A - letter from Vienna, in the Nord of Brussels, says :—" Accounts received from Constantinople state that it has been decided among the represen tatives of the great Powers that the Porte should be requested to send to the Caimakans of Moldavia and Wallachiaa recommendation to conform strictly and faithfully to the text and spirit of the firman. Similar instructions were recommended to be sent to Safvet Effendi, the Turkish commissioner, who had appeared ;to have lost sight of the object of the commission of which he forms a part. These instruc tions, when obtained, were to be immediately trans mitted by telegraph. 133. 2d., and for the latter, 19,3991. Bs. ; alto gether 213,177/. ls. 2d., and that not only without asking the legislative sanction, but with out the slightest intimation being given of the scandalous transactions, until they were d's covered from a careful examination of the national balance-sheet. Again, when bringing forward the budget for the present year, he made the whole of the Sardinian Loan, 1,000,0001. sterling, fall on the annual revenue, besides paying off the 2,000,0001. Exchequer Bonds, and 250,0001. for Sinking Fund, making a total charge of 3,250,000 i. to be collected from the over-burdened taxpayers, exhausted by the heavy drains occasioned by the war, and even more by the extravagant rate of discount artificially produced by restrictive cur rency laws. Without these extra charges he would not have required the additional 2d. Income Tax which may be set against the 2,000,0001. Exchequer Bonds, and the Sardinian million, the interest of which would have more than paid the charge for an additional million of Ex chequer Bonds, may be regarded as the equivalent for the 2d. per lb. on tea and the enhanced sugar duties. But, notwithstanding all this, it now appears he is going to pay off an additional 1,125,0001. for the immediate redemption of the Danish Sound dues, which might and oaght to be spread over a period of 20 or 30 years—making the entire capital or debt redeemed during the present year no less than 4,375,0001., so that his attack on the payers of Income Tax, and his crusade against the tea-pot, coffee-pot, and pie dish, to say nothing of the enhanced duties on spirits, may all be attributed to the desire of un duly charging the present generation for the bene fit of posterity. As to the redemption of the Sound dues, for which a vote of 1,125,0001. was last night taken, we do not, for the present, object so much to the propriety of getting rid of the vexatious and un justifiable impost, as to the mode in which it has been effected. It is true that Brother JONATIIIN acted very differently, and by a simple determina tion not to tolerate the improper charge any Longer, altogether got rid of the "black mail.' But assuming, for the sake of argument, that England was bound to act differently, and that elle ought either to enter into the proposed com promise, or permit her Baltic trade to be saddled with the inequitable impost ; assuming, likewise, that it was wise and politic to get rid of the dues levied by the Danish Government, which, from incidental expenses of agents, demurrage, delays, dye., quadrupled the burden to the British shipowner, which eventually fell on Bri tish consumers, we must complain of the modus operandi, which will occasion a withdrawal of 1,123,0001. of bullion from the Bank within three months, thus continuing the ezorbi taut and ruinous rate of discount now enforced for a fur her term, and which also makes it fall exclusively on the revenue of the present year I The only excuse which Sir G. C. LEWIS could offer was, that he had been mistaken in his estimates of revenue and expenditure in his "previous budget" of Feb. 13, to the extent of nearly 2,000,0001. sterling (1,861,000/.), and that, therefore, he might squander the money thus produced, practicaly taking advantage of his own error. We cannot see that an additional balance in the Exchequer is so great a misfortune as it seems to be consi dered by financiers of the GLIPSTONB and LEWIS genus. The late Lord ASHBURTON was accustomed to advise every man, to keep a balance of at least 100,0001. at his banker's I Very salutary counsel doubtless, if practicable. But certainly it is ap plicable to the National Exchequer, more especially when the nation is engaged in a heavy war the expenses whereof it is impossible to calculate, and when the additional Income Tax, and the tea, coffee, and sugar duties have only been pre visionally granted for a single year. Under these circumstances, it appears to be not only impolitic, but actually criminal, to pay the entire money at such brief notice, more especially when a satis factory arrangement might be concluded in the way of a temporary annuity either with Den mark, or the Bank of England. Another point that should not be slurred over is, that no allusion whatsoever has been made to the claims of Danish Bondholders resident in England. Their security is materially diminished while the whole of the money is paid over to the King of Denmark, to deal with as ho thinks pro per. This seems neither fair nor equitable. The owner of a heavily encumbered estate would not be permitted to sell a farm and apply the whole proceeds to his own use without regard to the claims of his creditors. And before handing over the amount, the British Government should act justly towards British subjects who have claims on Den mark. , A little gentle pressure, too, would have got rid of the Danish transit (Ines, which, although trifling in amount, are of a very vexatious charac ter. We might have no right to interfere with the fiscal legislation of Denmark, but when paying a large sum for the abolition of one class of dues, we might fairly insist on others of a similar cha racter being included in the s3ame category. We have certainly had in every respect the worst of the bar gain, for there is no doubt but that Danmark would have relinquished the trifling transit dues, rather than reject the British gold to the amount of 1,125,0001. so recklessly tendered for its ac cept ante. We have no objection to any reasonable outlay whereby the efficiency of the British Army may be increased, and our soldiers rendered more capable of providing for themselves, when on actual service in an enemy's country. For this reason we have regarded the construction of the Camp at Aldershot with con siderable favour, inasmuch as it was calculated t) afford our troops some experience in the art of, at least, mimic warfare, and in taking better care of themselves, their horses, ammunition, weapons, provision (including the cooking thereof), when ever they might be engaged in an actual campaign. But, certainly, this will not be effected by the erection of luxurious permanent barracks, where the men will be taught, not how to provide for their own com forts during a temporary bivouac, but "to cook by gas, and to roast by steam !" The over-bur dened tax payers are, however, to be mulcted of 400,000/. sterling for the gratification of this Princely crotchet. It, in fact, begins to assume the appearance of a gigantic job, the only effect whereof will bo to enable some influential parties to gratify, on the easiest possi ble terms, their propensity for " playing at soldiers." A pretty little game in its way, but which may be purchased at too high a price ! Last year the estimate was merely 250,0001., tahegerreat deal t oo muc h b y th e way, b ut already has been an addition of more than 50 per cent., nearly 4 00,000/. being required for what may truly b e called " the job," and if matters progress in the like ratio, it is impossible to say whoa or where the demands will ,top.

" The Nubia reached Suez at midnight on the 21th of May. The European arrived two hours later, with 48,0001. specie from Melbourne, and 59 passengers. THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at the Hague at one o'clock on the 3d, from Antwerp. The Prince of Orange, who had gone as far as Rotterdam to receive his Imperial Highness, con ducted him to the palace, where the King awaited his arrival. The Grand Duke immediately after paid a visit to the Queen-Mother, Anna Paulo vna. After the departure of the Grand Duke Con stantine from Antwerp on Wednesday morning, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant took a walk through different parts of the town, and visited the docks and the port. The people every where respected their wish to remain incognito, and there was consequently no cheering, but every one uncovered as their Royal Highnesses passed. They returned to the Palace about eleven o'clock. The King gave an audience to several functionaries and notabilities of the place, and at a little after twelve the King en tered a carriage with the Duchess of Brabant and the Princess Charlotte, and followed by another carriage, in which were the Princes and the Grand Marshal of the Palace, proceeded to the railway station. On their way from the Palace, the Royal party were greeted with loud cheers by the people assembled. At the railway, the principal civil and military authorities had assembled, and after the King and the Princes had taken leave of them the Royal train took its de parture for Brussels. TURIN. The Austrian Correspondence, considered a semi-official authority, says : "The Independance of Brussels publishes a let ter from Turin, which states that the Austrian ca binet had requested the court of Naples to break off relations with the Piedmontese government, but that the King of the Two Sicilies bad refused. Its correspondent makes known the motives put for ward by the Neapolitan government, and adds that there has been for some time a coolness in the relations between the courts of Vienna and Naples. The journal lastly congratulates the King of Naples on the wisdom of his conduct. It is almost su perfluous for us to remark that the whole of his statement is pure invention ; that Austria has never addressed to the court of Naples or to any other power either a request or a wish of the kind ; and that consequently the refusal of the request, the motives of that refusal, and the conclusion drawn from it are equally void of foundation.' SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. In the Congress on the preceding day, a report was presented from a committee recommending the adoption of the bill for carrying into effect the royal decree of the 25th April for making a levy of 50,000 men forlthe army. The committee on the press bill had proposed to reduce the caution money of newspapers from 15,000 piastres, pro• posed by the Govrrnment, to 6,000 piastres. In the Senate, the Marquis de Miraflores had brought in a somewhat singular b;11 for modifying the constitution of the Congress. It proposes that there should be two sorts of deputies—one to be called deputies, the other assistants—the for mer to be elected by the population at the rate of one for every 90,000 souls, and the latter to be nominated by the government at the rate of on' for every twenty-three deputies. It is thought that it has no chance of being passed. The popu l•ation returns were being made up, and it was be lieved that they would show the total population to be about 18,030,000 souls. At Granada, the Captain-General had passed a grand review of the troops of the garrison, and in an address, he con giatulated them on the failure of the recent insur tection got up by a handful of seditious men, and said that that result was owing partly to the good sense of the population and partly to the fidelity of the troops. He concluded by declaring that if any new attempts at disturbance were made, he would chastise the authors of them with great severity. It was rumoured that a Carlist insur rection was about to break out at Cervera and other Iplaces in the province of Lerida ; and seditious proclamations had been stuck up. AUSTRALIA.

This morning a desperate-looking young man, who gave the name of Charles Melbourne, was placed at the bar ()barged with attempting to murder two policemen last night in the Haymarket. The prisoner, whose right name is Beard, it is stated is the chief of a gang o f the most desperate burglars in the metropolis. n° has been already transported, but bad ob tained a ticket of leave, which, in consequence of a retort made to the Home Secretary, bad been revoked. The prisoner has for a long time been a suspected person, and the police, from inforrnat;on received, believed that he was one of the parties concerned in the extensive bur glaries that had recently been committed at the house of Monsel', Esq., of Chesterfield-creet, and also at Lord Paumure's, from whose house, it will be recollected, a large quantity of jewellery, including several of his lord. ship's orders of knighthood, bad been carried off. The prisoner, who bore the appearance of having made a desperate resistance, is about twenty-five years of age. He has dark hair and eyes, pale complexion, and is pitted with the small-pox. He was dressed in a black Oxonian coat and dark trousers, and was brought into court handcuffed and strongly guarded by the paice. The unfortunate man Murrell appeared with his face and head enveloped in bandages, and it was with the greatest difficulty he gave his evidence. Police sergeant 9 0 said, at about 20 minutes past this morning I was on duty in the Haymarket. I saw the prisoner, in company with another man not in custodlt going down the Haymarket. Believing him to be a man who was wanted for a burglary, I sent to the Ed, lice-station for constable Murrell, who was acquainte d with prisoner, who came to the Haymarket. After waiting at the corner of Panton-street for a few minutes I saw the prisoner in company with three women. I said to Murrell, 4 . here they are," and they immediately ran away down James-street. They separated, and I pursued Melbourne. When 136 got some distance up the street he turned round and faced me. He had both hands in his pockets. I told him he must go with me as I wanted him for an attempte d burglary. Murrell came up and said, " That's the man." Murrea took hold of one side of the prisoner and I the other, and we proceeded along James-street to Vine-street station. I asked Murrell what had become of the second party, and I afterwards said to him, "Ye ll take charge of Melbourne and I'll go in pursuit of the other man." I accordingly left Murrell with the pri soner. I had scarcely got into the Haymarket when I heard the report of fire arms, and sombody crying for assistance. I ran back and found Murrell who still bad hold of the prisoner, but there were three or four wome n round him. Murrell said, lay hold of him for God'e sake, for ho has shot me." At the same instant a s econd pistol was fired close to my head. I saw the pri' soner's right hand raised and I also saw the smok e coming from the direction. The women we re so close to me that I could not BOQ the pis' It was fired so close to my ear th a t I w as dea f for three hours afterwards. I seized hold of the pri" soner, and with Murrell conveyed him to the station' house. I searched the prisoner there, and found a larg e bowie knife (a most murderous-looking weapon), fo ur round pebbles which fitted the pistols, 45 small shots loose in his pocket, 11 copper caps, and a ram rod. I le o made no answer to the charge when it was read over t - him. Mr. Beadon—Then you were taking him into cu e• tody on suspicion of having committed a burglary! Witness—Yes ; at Lord Panmure's. Mr. Beedon—Do you wish to ask the witness 01 questions; Prisoner—No ; nothing. William Murrell, 80 0, said about half-past tic° was fetched from the station to go t o th e H a y m arket t° see Sergeant Crocker. I met th e sergean t, an d he 51 ' 1,1 "I think the man is near who we want for the burg' lary." The first time I saw the prisoner pay at the corner of James-street, in company v li u t . another man. As soon as he saw US be ran no James-street towards Leicester-squ &re Sergeant Crocker ran up Oxenden-street in. O r. suit. I told Sergeant Crocker that that was t he l man we wanted, and I told him to by hold of hint. h took hold of his right w r i s t. C roc k er as k e d me vib ic `; way the little one went, b u t I cou ld not t e ll, an d Crock e r then left me with the prisoner in the Haymarket. soon as the sergeant was gone the prisoner said to de what does the sergeant want me s for ?" and I ° a ; " you bad better a s k hi m ."

I called for assistance, and Sergeant Crocker came up, and I hea r d a secon d repor t o f firearms, and saw the prisoner fire a second pistol at Sergea nt Crocker.
