;life was 61. The premium which, in 1832, was 661., was now reduced to 411.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. SHEAR:WAN moved that the account and statements contained in the Report be approved. Dr.DusLar seconded the motion. Mr. FOWLER said he was desirous of ascertaining the rela tive position of this with other offices, and the number of •ckflices started within the last five years. Mr. NErsoN said a great number had been projected, but he believed that 50 had come to maturity. He was con vinced, however, they had done more good than harm to the present society, for they had made more public the utility of such institutions ; and when once individuals made up their minds to insure, they would naturally choose old offices which gave the beet bonus. Mr. FONMSa asked whether other offices had been equally successful _ _ _ Tho 'szcits-ranx believed that a majority of the old offices had -rather receded than gone forward. Many of the same atfEnding were not doing near so much business. Dr. HUE wished to know the number of applications for policies, and the number ofrefusals. The SECRETARY said the number of proposals during the last five years was 2,784, out of which number 415 were deeL:ned. A PROPRIETOR—iIow many were effected? The SECRETARY—For the five years ending June, 1841, the number issued was 1,837; for the last five years, 1,89:3; showing an increase of 55. To show that the Society was progressing, he might add that the number issued during the last year was 401.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to.

DA:RING HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER. 'Sit itemEnts, JAN. 18.—A most unprovoked and cold-blooded murder has been, within the last tew days, committed upon Mr. John Riley, a respectable tobacconist of this town, the inquest upon whose remains was opened on Saturday night, before Mr. Badger, one of the coroners for the West Riding f Yorkshire. The facts are these:—Mr. Riley, after closing his place of business, which is in Waingate, went on Mon day evening last to spend an hour or two with some friends at the New Market Hotel, in the Cattle Market, which place he left perfectly sober soon after twelve o'clock, in order to proceed to his residence, which is situated a short distance from the town. On the road leading to a village named Grimesthorpe, it would appear that he had proceeded in safety until he reached a somewhat lonely place, about 300 yards from the last line of houses, on what is called Spital-hill. At this place he was attacked by two for three men, who, after one of them had exclaimed, " D—n lint, here lie is," struck him so violently in the forehead with a life-preserver or other bludgeon as to produce instant insensibility; for, although he so far recovered at a subse quent period as to be enabled to crawl home, a distance of about R quarter of a mile, he was incapable of giving any other account of his assailants than that they had taken from him about 30s. in money, his silver watch, his hat, and his walk , ing-stick. After being insensible for upwards of an hour on the ground where he had been knocked down, and in a complete - pool of blood, he reached his house about twenty minutes to two o'clock. His face at that time was covered with blood and dirt, his right hand pocket was turned out, and his braces were broken. Each eye was fearfully blackened, to the extent of nearly an inch all round ; he had a large lump on the centre of his forehead; and his nose was smashed, and covered with coagulated blood. His hands also were covered ' , frith blood; and there were severe abrasions and bruises on both his knees. There were likewise serious bruises on various pa.'as of his person, all of which sufficiently indicated thahe must, although p er h a p s unconsc i ous l y to himself, , struggled violently with his assailants. Oat reaching home his first words uttered to his wife were * 4. Mary, they batted nearly ultic killed me." His Wounds and bruisea were and poed by his wife, arid medical and surgical aid were called in in a few hours afterwards, but notwithstanding their skill, the unfortunate gentleman lin gered until two o'clock on Saturday morning, when he died Itom the effects of the barbarous usage to which he had been lluNected. 'There seems little reason to doubt that the murderous assailants had been in ambush, awaiting the arrival of their victim; the entrance to a narrow lane immediately opposite to the place of attack affording ready shel - er and conceal ment. It is somewhat singular, that a!th,ugh the fatal Spot was on a public footpath, and within thirty yards of one of the public gas lamps, that the watchman, whose duty it was to pass and repass the place once in every hour, should not have seen the unfortunate gentleman whilst he aid in this insensible state. The only information at all bearing upon the matter which this official is capable of giving is, that shortly before the time at which the assault is sapposed to have occurred he had a conversation with two men, at one part of his beat, who said they were going to Grimesthorpe, and who then went in the direction of the place where the robbery and violence were committed. This may be considered in some degree confirmatory of a statement made by the dying man, that he thought he knew the voice of one of the men, and that he came from Grimesthorpe. Hitherto. however, the affair is involved in mysiery, although the police are making every exertion to eiscover the perpetrators of the diabolical outrage. The circumstances, of which the above is only an outline, were detailed by various witnesses before the coroner on Saturday evening, but to give time ter further evidence, and to allow a post mortem examination of the deceased to be 1114(1 q the inquiry was adjourned to Thursday next.

COURTS Or ALDERMEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. • ---- 'Yesterday about 120 members of the Common Coun cil assembled in the Council Chamber, for the purpose of receiving the suggestions of the sub-committee ap pointed by them to consider the most advisable mode of proceeding on the next Common Council day, with re spect to the Bill, the third reading of which, at the last Court, the Lord Mayor refused to put. It appeared, Mr. Ashurst said, desirable to the sub committee, and they recommended accordingly, that at the next Court a committee of privileges should be moved for, before they proceeded to call upon the Lord Mayor to put the question of the third reading of the Common Council Qualifications Bill, in order that the objection that they were not a legally constituted body might not be started against them, &c. It also appeared to them to be advisable to assert their right to have the question put the moment after the committees were appointed. Mr. R. L. JONES supposed the case of the departure of the Aldermen, which was a very possible contin gency, upon the motion for the appointment of the Com mittees of Privileges, and asked what ,in such a case, would the Court do ? He suggested whether it would not be preferable to have the committees appointed in the first instance, and then to move for the appointment of the Committee of Privileges. If the Aldermen then chose to depart, the Court would be convinced they went away for the purpose of avoiding the question, and they could determine upon a mode of settling the difference. The time was exceedingly eventful, and he thought it necessary to caution the Court not to plunge itself into a vortex in which great danger might be apprehended. Mr. AMU:MST said he no more than stated the recom mendation of the sub-committee. There was no resolu tion proposed. Every member would, when the time arrived, act for himself. Mr. R. L. JONES asked whether the sub-committee had taken into consideration the fact that the notice of the third reading of the Qualification Bill was not upon the paper of the business of the next Court ? Mr. ASHURST answered in the affirmative, but ab stained from discussing the subject, a course which seemed to be approved by the meeting. Mr. HARRISON said be thought it necessary to state that it was his intention to m ove u p on a su bj ect in which he believed he had the sympathy of all the members before the third reading of the Qualification Bill should be put. He meant the distressed condition of the Irish, to contribute to the relief, of which as soon as possible. he should move that the sum of 2,0001. be voted. lie intimated so much to the members, in order that it mi;_ht not be supposed that he meant to throw any diffi culty in the way of the Qualification question. Mr. R. L. JONES put the case that the Lord Mayor should refuse to put the question. He wished to know in what condition the Court would be in that event? No distinct answer was given to the question. V—.• Mr. DE JERSEY believed that the motion for the ap pointment of a committee of privileges, would be an interruption to the proceedings which the Court had commenced. Mr. KING said the reading of the minutes of the last Court, would be the first part of the business of the next. Those minutes were to his knowledge improperly re corded, and would prejudice the question if permitted to pass. If; therefore, they found that there was existing inaccuracy, it would be advisable to move a committee of privil. ges upon that matter. _ _ TheCHAinstex said that he bad been merely in structed to state the recommendations of the sub committee, and having fulfilled his instructions, and advised that the meeting should make no resolution, but proceed with unanimity to the attainment of tbeirobject, he considered the business of the committee at an end. Mr. Ashurst then vacated the chair. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The Humble Petition of the Undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Brewers, Distillers, and other Traders of the City of London, Sheweth,—That inasmuch as your Honourable House has repeatedly declared, more particulary at the passing of the Canada Corn Bill and the late opening of our markets to the sugar of foreign plantations, that her Majesty's subjects in the Colonies ought to be placed on a footieg of equality with the subjects of the United Kingdom, particularly with regard to commercial and inct.strial privileges, including more especially the fair and free disposal of the produce of their soil and la b or, and lirt esmuch as the present dearth of every species of f , od in Great Britain and Ireland, and most other coun tries of Europe, renders all legitimate efforts for pre venting needless or premature consumption of the existing scanty stocks of grain, a paramount duty of humanity and policy, and Inasmuch as the present high and still advancing prices of barley and malt, threaten a partial if not lota suspen sion of brewing and distilling, as well as a material defalcation in the public revenue derived from those sources. We, your humble Petitioners, for these reason, pray that your Honourabl e H ouse w ill i mme di a t e l y be pleased to rescind the penalties to which Public Brewers and Distillers are at present liable for using Sugar and Mo lasses, and allow henceforth the free and unrestricted use :of those commodities whereby your Honourable House will greatly encourage and benefit the Colonists, and cnncLde to them the right, as British subjects, to di pose of their produce in a more enlarged and better market • cause a com,iderable savin g i n th e con sumption of Barley and Other Grain. : secure to your Pe titioners, and her Majesty's subjects generally, the con tinued enjNyment of their usuol beverage at a cheap rate; protect, and probably augment, the public revenue, and extend the shipping and commerce of the British empire.

The Chambers of the Cour Royale, assembled to gether, had to de c id e on S atur d ay on an application of Prince d'Eckmulh, Peer of France, to be freed from the control of a judicial counsel, imposed on him in 1837 on the demand of his mother. It appeared that when the applicant had come of age, he owed money to a great amount, for follies incidental to youth, such as gambling, horses, &c. So ex travagant had he been, that an application to the law courts was deemed requisite, and eventually General Contard wa, nominated judicial counsel. The Prince then determined to absent himself from France for a few years, and he ac cordingly set out on a voyage round the world. He was absent six years, and had never during that period either gambled, kept horses, or indulged in any other expensive pursuit ; he had, in fact, saved IBo,ooof. out of the income allowed to him by his judicial counsel. He at last returned at the request of his mother, and after some time applied to her to have the judicial counsel removed, and the manage ment of his affairs placed in his own hands. She declared that she had no objection, but that she should affix one con dition to his release—that he should marry. He replied that to marry under such circumstances would not be worthy of his name ; that it must not be said that the Prince d'Eck mulh had married in order to recover the administration of his property. Such was the case, as sustained on Saturday by M. Paillet for the Prince, in an appeal against a former decision refusing his application, whilst M. Baroche, for General Contard, argued against th e d eman d . The ut, after ten minutes' deliberation, maintained the Prince under the control of his judicial counsel —G a li gnan i. ®Amost exaggerated representation having appeared in some of the papers of a fire on board the Bonafide, the owners of her request it may be stated that the brig was light and dismantled, being laid up for the winter, that the damage sustained was confined to the blistdring of the paint around the fire-place in the cabin, and does not amount to twenty shillings, the fire baying been ex tinguished in five minutes, with half a dozen buckets of water. The mate of the vessel, who, in defiance of the dock regulations, had placed some varnish near to-the steVP, has been punished by the dock authorities. THE Mummy . Hoo.—At the police-court, on Wed nesday, a diminutive Irishman, named Francis, minus an eye, was charged with gaining admission to the different colleges with a forged order purporting to be signed by the Vice-Chancellor, granting him permission to show to the students a mummy hog which he had "embalmed." The fact was that Francis displayed his novelty to some collegians at a private house, who were so well pleased with it, that they gave him the note, which, of course, was a hoax. He asked a man to read the note to him when he came out of the house, who ex. claimed that his fortune was made, and told him the great privilege granted to him. The forgery was, how ever, soon detected, and Francis was given in custody. When the charge was stated to him, the Vice-Chancellor being presf nt, t h e un h appy man dropped on his knees, and bursting into tears, exclaimed, " I'm innocent, your honours—as innocent as my poor mummy hog in this here box, and which can be seen for the small charge of twopence, for ladies and gents.; and poor people for one penny ! This mummy hog, gents., has a double body, eight feet, and two heads ; it has been scientifically embalmed, and is one of the greatest wonders of the animal creation. Were it not for my mummy, I should certainly starve. Gents., I have been very unfortunate. I was a keeper of wild beasts ; I came to this town with my menagerie ; but they have all died since I've been here.

Cambridge Independent Press. Tii_E SUN, LONDON, spring. At Hamburgh, on the 9th of January, the frost was se• vere, and the - Elbe was then completely frozen over. The transactions in grain since the previous post-day had been quite unimportant, but the prices of both wheat and spring corn had further advanced. The very great rise which has within the last month taken place in prices here, has placed quotations of wheat in this 'country above those of Mar- seines and other places in the Mediterranean. At Marseilles, on the 10th of January, common Polish Odessa wheat, deliverable in March, was obtainable at equal to 5:25. to 545., and superior at 58s. per qr. free on board ; and Marianopoli, on the spot, might then have been bought at 555. per qr. From Leghorn we have letters of the Bth Jan.; a pur chase of 4,000 sacks of Marianopoli wheat had been made there for shipment, at equal to about 50s. per qr. free on board. Ia most of the French markets wheat and flour have undergone a further rise, and prices are now too nearly alike in this and that country to allow of business being done with advantage. Since writing the above the Hamburgh mail of Tuesday has been received, by which we have letters of more recent dates from the Baltic. What way still rising . in value; notwithstanding which, the growers were bring ing forward suppliep but plowly.—.Dark-lana Exprem REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The value of Wheat has risen day by day for many weeks consecutively without a single pause, and prices have now obtained an altitude calculated to induce caution on the part of buyers. Prudent tradesmen consider speculative investments at present rates hazardous; and parties who purchase only in the regular way of business are gradually restricting their operations, being generally unwilling to take more than just sufficient to keep their customers sup plied. When affairs arrive at this position a reaction usually follows; but, owing to the peculiar circumstances of the present season, we greatly doubt whether such will in this instance prove the case. The fact that large shipments of grain continue to be made from England to Ireland-from which country, in the ordinary course of events, we are in the habit of drawing a considerable proportion of our supplies is alone sufficient to upset all previously-conceived notions. But the singularity of our position does not end here. The loss of the potato crop in Ireland, and the consequent neces sity of feeding several millions of people not generally in the habit of consuming grain, on so expensive a substitute, is cer tainly one very powerful reason for concluding that prices can not well recede ; but when to this is added the present ,tate of France, and other continental countries where the crops of corn have proved so short as to oblige the different Govern ments to have recourse to such expedients as those lately adopted by the French-first altering the navigation laws to encourage importation, by admitting flour under flags of all nations, and subsequently taking off the duties of thin altogether - there are certainly grounds to appre hend that it will be necessary . to pay . very high prices abroad to induce our continental neighbours to part with a commodity they stand in such urgent need of themselves. We are, therefore, inclined to think that, unless the spring should prove extraordinarily propitious, and the arrivals from the other side of the Atlantic more ex tensive than we have reason to calculate on, the value of all kinds of food will remain high up to the time of next har vest. The trade in wheat has not been quite so excited this as the proceeding week, the very high term , : demanded having bad the effect, as stated above, of causing all par ties to exercise more than usual prudence in their operations. But, notwithstanding a somewhat. diminished demand, the tendency of prices has been steadily upwards ; in proof of which we shall quote the advance realised at some of the leading provincial markets :- At Liverpool on Tuesday there was a good attendance of buyers from the manufacturing districts and from Ireland; and the quantity of wheat on sale being moderate, rates 6d. per 701b5., or 35. 6d. per quarter, above those of that day se'nnight were obtained without difficulty. Later in 'the week a further enhancement of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. was established, several parcels having been taken on Friday by speculators, at the price last named. The reports from the leading towns of Yorkshire inform us that business in wheat had been mote or less checked by the advance; still, needy buyers had had no alternative, and had been under the necessity of paying the terms de manded. At Leeds, the article was on Tuesday quoted 2s. to 3s. per quarter higher; and at Hull, on the same day, the rise was nearly as great. From Wakefield we learn that a tolerable extent of business was done there on Friday in Wheat at prices 2s. per quarter above those of that day week. At Birmingham, Bristol, and other towns in that direction the upward movement has been equally important, although purchasers have declined taking more than has been abso lutely necessary to supply their immediate wants. In the foregoing observations we have confined our remarks more exclusively to Wheat; but we need scarcely state that all other articles have participated in the rise. Barley has, in many parts of the country, sold at the unusually high rates of 60s. to 655. per quartet, according to quality; and the scarcity of Oats has now become so great that farmers have refused to sell this grain altogether, being well aware that if they were to part with the little they may still hold, they would afterwards have to pay relatively higher prices to pro procure food for their stock. The advices from Scotland are of a similar character to the reports from other parts of the kingdom. Not only wheat, bat all species of grain, is rapidly rising there; and it is certain that no supplies of oats (the staple article of shipment to the south) can be expected, that article being worth quite as much, if not more, at Edinburgh as in the London market. The accounts from Ireland become from day to day more distressing, and the temporary decline which a large arrival of Indian corn caused last week had again been recovered, the supply having proved inadequate to the demand. With the people starving in many parts of the island, shipments of provisions from thence to England are, of course, out of the question. The arrivals of English Wheat into London have again been moderate, the high range of prices at Liverpool and other northern markets having caused the shippers on the east coast to direct their consignments to those place rather than to the metropolis. The quantity, brought, forward at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the home counties since Monday has also' been small ; and the millers' wants having again become urgent, increased anxiety to get into stock has been manifested by bu'ers. The few lots left over on Monday, principally from Essex and Kent, were easily placed on Wednesday at rates rather exceeding those obtained in the beginning of the week. OR Friday fictors again raised their pretensions, which checked the demand-; but having scarcely anything fresh up, needy purchasers were under the necessity of paying the terms asked. In free foreign Wheat a fair amount of business has been done during the week, the lower descriptions having been in request for the manufacture of meal for Ireland, and the finer sorts having excited attention for local use. The continued demand from the other side of the Chan nel, and the smallness of the stock remaining on hand, together with the certainty that no foreign supplies can for a month or two be calculated on, have all tended to give an upward tordency to prices, and the rise since last Monday cannot be estimated at less than, Is. to 2s. per qr. Prices being now as high, if not higher here than in France, the export to that country has ceased ; notwithstanding which, holders of bonded Wheat have con tinued to ask prices within is. to 2s. per quarter of those of free, for parcels under lock. This c an on l y b e accounted for by the supposition that the Legislature may, on the meeting of Parliament, take off the existing duty of 4s. per quarter. The sale of town-made Flour has been more extensive this week than was the case earlier in the month, which has pro bably been caused by bakers having become apprehensive that the millers may again put up the price : hitherto, how ever, the top quotation has remained stationary at 655. per sack. Ship Flour has been in fair request. and has com manded full terms. For American the inquiry has been lively, and a further enhancement of Is. per brl. has been pretty generally realised on the best brands. The arrivals of English Barley have been very trifling ; and though 12,551 qrs. have come to hand from abroad, prin • cipally from the north of Europe (from whence the vessels were dispatched previous to the setting in of the frost), the high rates of last Monday have been maintained. Very thin foreign Barley has realised 465., good grinding qualities 505., and for superior English malting qualities very close upon 70s. per qr. has been paid. Such prices are well calcu lated to draw supplies ; but the Baltic ports being frozen up, with little prospect of becoming free till March, whilst in the interval nothing of importance can be expected to reach us from other quarters, we see no chance of a material reaction. Malt has moved upwards in value quite as rapidly as Bar ley, and 90s. per qr. has been insisted on for fine qualities. The supplies of Oats during the week ending this (Satur day) evening amounted to only 4,473 qrs. ; and the receipts having for several preceding weeks fallen materially short of the quantity required for consumption, great inroads have been made on the dealers' stocks-indeed, so bare has the market become of this grain, that holders have experienced no difficulty in obtaining very high rates. The extent of the advance will, perhaps, be better understood by giving the quotations obtained for some particular sorts than in stating the rise in shillings per qr. Archangels have sold freely at 365., good heavy Irish at 38s. to 395., and fine Scotch feed at 40s. per qr. and upwards, with more anxiety to buy than sell at these rates. Beans have participated in the general advance; and for floating cargoes of Egyptians 445. to. 455. per quarter, cost, freight, asd insurance has been given. Peas have likewise been held at enhanced terms, though the demand for the latter article has not been particularly active. Floating cargoes of Indian Corn have again been much sought after on Irish account, 'and important bargains were closed on Wednesday and Friday, on terms hardly procur able in the commencement of the week. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. By the Cambria steam ship, we have ativices of recent dates from North America. Shipments of wheat, flour, and Indian corn, on rather an extensive scale, were still being made to England ; but the very high freights demanded had interfered a good deal with business. The New York letters are of the 31st of December ; the stock of flour in store was then becoming very small, and as in conse quence of the close of the inland navigation 'no supplies from the interior were expected till spring, holders had raised their pretensions from 12ic. to 25c. per barrel. The ad vanced rates demanded had, however, been very reluctantly paid, and for some days the actual transactions had been on quite a retail scale; Genessee Flour had been held at 5 dolls. 56 1 /0. to 5 dolls. 62ic., which with charges added far buying and storing till spring, and calculated at the ad verse rates of exchange then prevailing, would make the cost on board, in English money, 265. to 275. per barrel. The total exports from New York during the year 1846 had been-Flour, 960,534 barrels; Wheat, 1,200,598 bushels; and Indian corn, 1,243,668 bushels. At Baltimore, on the 29th ult., the flour trade was dull, and prices had then rather a downward tendency; the last sales of Howard street had been at 4 dolls. 75c. to 4 dolls. 87c., and City-mills' had also been sold at the latter rate. The export of flour from that port to Great Britain during the year had not exceeded 50,000 barrels. From Philadelphia the shipments had been mach larger viz., 360,844 brls. of flour, 223,947 bushels of wheat, and 272,768 bushels of Indian corn. At the last- named port business was far from brisk; on the 26th of December holders of flour generally demanded 4 dolls. 874 c. per barrel, which being rather more than buyers were disposed to give, only retail sales have been made. Of Indian I corn a couple of cargoes of new' southern yello w h a d b een bought at 57c. to 58c. per bushel. Owing to the non-arrival of the Hamburgh mail of Tues day last, our advices from the northern parts of Europe are, not of such recent dates as usual; we have, however, Dantzic letters of the 9th instant. by the way of Holland, from which it appears that the continued advance on this side had had the usual effect, prices having run up quite as rapidly there as with us. For fine high-mixed wheat holders had refused to accept below 60e. to 613., and for fair high-mixed 58s. to 595. per qr. had been demanded; whilst the most ordinary descriptions had been held at 50s. to 525. per qr., free on board, in spring. Rye had been much in quired for, and, having come very sparingly to hand, had realised equal to 425. per qr. At the Lower Baltic ports the stocks of grain are said to be extremely small; and by the most recent accounts from Rostock, Stettin, &c., it appears that the supplies from the growers had been on a restricted scale, in consequence of which comparatively little business had been done, though the demand had been lively. At the first of these ports barley was, on the 7th instant, quoted 325. 6d. ; and at Stettin, on the sanie day, 31s. per quarter, free on board, in HUEtSDAY MORNI COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) THE SPHYNX.-LOSS OF EIGHT SEAMEN. JAN. 19.—Three steamers are lying at anchor off, Where the sea is as smooth as glass, but there is a heavy ground swell on the beach. The Sphynx lies well in on the flatners, and appears not to have been so much damaged in her bottom as reported. A barge, with eight men from one of the steamers, cap sized yesterday while rowing round her, and all were drowned. . . . To-day sixty shipwrights and engineers with their tools, from the dock-yard, are leaving Cowes in waggons for Mot tiston. The ill-fated vessel's masts were cut away yesterday. Arrived, the Swedish schooner Robert, Gerfstrom master, from Charleston for Bremen, with rice and cotton, having been run into on Sunday last by a large vessel, name un known. She carried away her bowsprit and foremast, and did her other damage. She makes a good deal of water. She had been in tow of a Dutch ship, but was towed here by the Glasgow steamer. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—Major Stevens, of the Roya: Marine Artillery, is appointed Inspector of Dockyards, it conjunction with a naval officer who will hereafter be no minated. _ _ _ _ Courts-martial will be held to-morrow on board the St. Vincent to try Lieutenant Gill, of the Mutine, for drunken. ness, and Lieutenant Heath, of the Hyacinth, who was offi cer of the watch when that vessel ran foul of the Wanderer, merchant barque, for his participation in that accident. The Hyacinth, 18, Commander Scott, will be paid off on Wednesday, and the Wanderer, the vessel with which she came in collision, is under repair at the expense of Govern ment; so that it appears they are satisfied the Hyacinth was in fault. _ The Crocodile, 8, Lieutenant -commanding S. R. Protheroe, will be paid in advance on Thursday. Thirty of the St. Vincent's crew have been sent in charge of an officer by train to London, thence to proceed to Sheer ness, to fit the Cyclops steamer, recently paid off at that port, for immediate service in carrying provisions to Ire land. _ _ The officers and crew of the Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, have received orders to complete the filling of the Dauntless, commenced by the dockyard riggers, and, when ready, to navigate her to Glasgow to get her engines. They commenced operations to-day. PORTSMOUTH, TUZSDAY.—A court-martial, comprising Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, President; Captain Chads, of the Excellent; Captain Henderson, of the Sidon; Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent; Commander Tryon of the Mutine ; and Mr. G. L. Greetham, Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet; assembled this morning on board the flag-ship St. Vincent, to try Mr. Heath, third lieutenant of the Hy acinth, 18, Commander Scott, who was officer of the watch at the time that vessel ran foul of the Wanderer, merchant bark, on the morning of the 12th inst., for alleged neglect of duty on the said occasion, whereby considerable damage was sustained by both vessels. Captain Pasco, of the Victory, was ordered to sit as a member of the Court, but was objected to by the prisoner, he (Captain Pasco) having, after an inquiry, made the report to the Admiralty upon which the present trial was founded, and Commander Tryon, as next in seniority, was sworn in his stead. Mr. James Hoskin's, solicitor, of Gosport, officiated as the prisoner's " friend." The charge was, " For that you, on the 12th day of January, 1847, being at the time in actual service and full pay off her Majesty's fleet, and officer of the watch on board the said sloop (Hyacinth), did improperly omit to have the helm of the said sloop put down as soon as a certain bark, called the Wanderer, steering down channel, was first seen from the said sloop as going before the wind, by which omis sion the said sloop and barque came into collision and re ceived damage." After a most patient investigation, and eloquent defence, the Court acquitted the prisoner. On the conclusion of the above, another Court ;Was sworn in, comprising Captain Pasco in the room of Commander Tyron, but as Senior Captain, to try Mr. Gill, Second Lieu tenant of the Mutine, 12, Commander Tyron, on a charge of drunkenness, preferred by his commander, which was proved, and he was sentenced to be dismissed the service. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander J. C. Caffin, returned to Spithead last night at nine o'clock, having been detained at the wreck (for we must now call it so) of the Sphynx, since she left this harbour on Sunday morning. She came up for more assistance, and a dockyard lump, with anchors, cables, and a gang of riggers, have been sent by the Scourge to-day at noon. About sixty shipwrights, and a number of engineers, under the direction of Mr. Watts, one of the builders' assistants, together with a detachment of marines to guard any property that may be landed from her, have also been dispatched. A dreadful accident occurred at the wreck yesterday. A cutter belonging to the Scourge, under the charge of Mr. Harris, gunner of that vessel, while in the act of endeavour ing to reach the Sphynx, was caught in the curl of the surf, instantly capsized, and Mr. Harris and six men were drowned. Two were with difficulty saved, mainly by the ex ertions of Mr. Wallis, master of the Sphynx, who was se verely cut about the face, and had two of his ribs fractured, ' in his act of humanity. The Sphynx is about 300 yards to the eastward of Brook Coast Guard station, and is forming herself a bed in the clayey soil of the beach, close to the face of the cliff. A party of hands, from the Sidon, to assist in manning the Avenger, sailed in the Vulcan revenue steamer this morning for Plymouth. The Adventure naval transport and the Sinbad lighter sailed to-day with provisions for Cork. Mr. John Mallard, late senior clerk of the St. Vincent, died in Haslar Hospital, after three days' illness, of pneumo nia, aged 45. The deceased officer was formerly Lr many years, and indeed until lately, young gentlemen's school master upon the old system, but being past the a g e t o qua lif y him for the position of naval instructor on the new system, he returned to his original position as a clerk in order to obtain his rank ultimately as paymaster and purser, which he had long been entitled to, having passed for that rank in 1833. He had been o in various flag ships at this port during the last 11 years, and ,was much respected in them all, par ticularly by his messmates and the youngsters, of whom he always took a fatherly charge. His remains were interred yesterday at the cemetery at Kingston, in the same tomb as his wife, and were followed to their last resting-place by some of the ward-room and most of the gun-room officers of the ships in commission in this harbour. His own messmates in the gun-room of the St. Vincent each subscribed hand somely according to his means towards the funeral expenses, as did two officers in the ward-room (the surgeon and purser) not from the necessity of a subscription for that purpose, but to mark their respect for his memory. PRICE OF GOLD, TUESDAY EVENING.—The pre mium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exc:tange of 25.42 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.35, it follows that gold is 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 1 / per mark, which, at the English mint price of 3/. 17e. 10 1 Acl, per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 13.8% ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.51, it follows that gold is 1.50 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London.

SUICIDE IN THE PUBLIC STR EETS FROM STARVA-. TioN. —An inquest was held on Tuesday, before Mr. W. Payne, City Coroner, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Robert Bland , a g ed 34, who com mitted suicide in the public streets under the following circumstances :—John Nicholls, police-constable 240, of the City police, said that on Monday morning, about half -past four o'clock, he was on duty in King-street, Snow Hill, when he saw a man lying on the pavement, and on going over found the deceased. On questioning him he said that he had taken some laudanum, which he had procured at six different shops. The sergeant COM mg up they took him to the station .house, and then con veyed him to the hospital. He stated that his name was Robert Bland, and gave his address Salford,near Manchester, and that he was a coach painter by trade; he said he was destitute and had no friends to go to, and that he had done it from want; that he was tired of his life, and that he thought he might as well die. as live in the wretched state he was then living in. Mr. r. J Hurlock, resident medical • Officer at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, said he saw the deceas e d a b out twenty minutes before five o'clock, and seeing him very ca l_ lected, addressed him upon the impropriety of the steps he had been taking, when he said he had been driven to it by parting with his last . shilling. There was a wanting of the strongest evidence of his having taken laudanum, by the eyes not being contracted. Upon the stomach pump being ap. plied, he fell back in his chair . a nd immediately expired. It was his opinion that the coldness of the night, with his irre gularities of life, namely, insufficiency of diet or no diet at all, had, as much'as laudanum, produced death. He had not made a post mortem examination, and, therefore, could not state what was the cause of death. Two drachms of lauda num upon an empty stomach would be enough to destroy life. In answer to a juror, Mr. Hurlock said he never saw a person die under the application of the stomach pump before, but he thought it might have been eaused by the difficulty of breathing usual on the stomach pump being applied, and also to its being a very cold night. H e was of opinion, that if a post mortem examination was made, he should not be able to trace laudanum, but he thought that, jointly with other causes, had produced death. The inquiry, after lasting acon siderable time, was adjourned fora post mortem examination, thejury being most dissatisfied with the medical evidence. The church for the seamen of the port of London, now building in Dock-street, near the London and St. Ka tharine's Docks, though nearly finished, cannot be consecrated until the whole amount of its expense has been subscribed ; 1,2001. being still wanted to pay the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the site, and 1,500/. for the endow ment and repairing funds. THE LORD-ADVOCATE AND THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOw RAILWAY DIRECTORS.-- We learn that last week Dr. Christison, the eminent Professo r of Materia Medi c s in the University of Edinburgh, was requested by the law offi cers of t heCrown to proceed forthwith to Stratiraer,and make an official report to them immediately on his return to Edin burgh. Arriving in Glasgow by the railway train on Friday on his way to Stranraer, he took the precaution to intimate to the railway people that, in case he could not get back in time to catch the latest train for Edinburgh on Saturday night, he would require a special train on Sunday morning, and he requested to know whether they would be ready to provide him with one. The directors or at least one or other of them tively refused ; and as Dr. Christison was thus prevented from reaching Edinburgh till Monday, he reported the cir cumstance to the Lord-Advocate. The Lord-Advocate im mediately held a consultation with her Majesty's Solicitor• General; and the Solicitor-General, we understand, has directed some communication to be made to these directors. We do not, of course, know the precise nature of it. But we hope the Government of the country will soon sweep away these directors, or take the entire management of this railway out of their hands. For supposing that occasion might arise for a body of troops to be sent from Edinburgh to Glasgow, or to other stations upon this line, are these fanatics to be permitted to arrest the Queen's service, or to mock the Executive Government of the country, with their canting resolutiona?—Scerch Rea. fortme s gag*. . .

They involved no points of public interest. BAIL COURT, Jan. 20. LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. FLOWER V. ROPER. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 881. due from the defendant to the plaintiff, for work and labour done, and upon an account stated. Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. New ton, with whom was Mr. Hatherton, appeared for the de fendant. The facts of the case were very brief. It appeared from the statement of counsel, and from the witnesses examined, 'that the defendant, Mr. Roper, was a gentleman of property, and the plaintiff, Mr. Flower, is a soli citor. In the year 1846 a railway company. called the Liverpool, Gloucester, Salisbury, Devizes, and Southampton Railway was started. The defendant, amongst other gen tlemen, gave his written consent to have his name placed upon the provisional committee. The written consent was dated the 13th of Dec., 1845, although the registration of the company did not take place for some time afterwards. The attorneys and solicitors were appointed for the company on the very day upon which the defendant had given his consent. The plaintiff was one of those solicitors, and in the duties consequent upon that appointment the present expenses were incurred. On the cross-examination of the witnesses, it was admitted that Mr. Flower had, by way of showing that he had not selected the defendant by any undue preference, brought six other actions for this bill. A managing committee was ap pointed soon after the defendant joined the provisional com mittee. The sum of three guineas was charged by the plaintiff for each attendance at the board of directors of the company. The Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, and South ampton Railway Company was am gamated with the railway of which the defendant was a member, on the 13th of December, the day on which the defendant placed his name on the provisional committee of the joint company called the Liverpool, Gloucester, Salisbury, and Devizes, and Southampton Railway Company. Mr NEWTON objected, on the part of the defendant, that he was in any case not liable for more than the amount of the bill from the 13th of December to the appoint ment of the managing committee. He also objected that it did not appear what number of the provisional committee were to form a quorum, and therefore many of the proceed ings of that committee might have been illegal, as it had not been shown that the proper number attended. He also objected that a great many of the proceedings for which charges had been made bad taken place before the 13th of December, when, although the de fendant was in the habit of attending meetings of the company, there was nothing to render him in any was liable. Mr. Flower had also neglected to prove the attendances, which comprised the heavier portion of his bill. Mr. Justice ERLE said that if the Counsel on either side would allow him to consider of the case until to morrow morning, he would decide whether the plaintiff should be nonsuited, subject to the objections of Mr. Wordsworth, or the defendant should be rendered liable, subject to the motion of Mr. Newton. The only question was as to the amount. Both Counsel expressed their readiness to come to an ar rangement. Mr. NEwrow then addressed the jury. The Learned JUDGE having sun:mei' up, The jury found found for the plaintiff.—Damages, 171. Bs. 6d., the amount from the 13th of December to the ap pointment of the managing committee. The case of Richards r. Lord Maidstone, which stood for trial this morning, was, by consent, postponed until the sit tings after term. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 20. COURT OF REVIEW, Jan. 20. IN RE RIDGWAY AND co. This was the petition of a trustee to the bankrupts, praying for an order in reference to certain moneys in hi-4 hands. The bankrupts were joined in the firm of Gaskell and Ridgway, who carried on business at Pernambuco, and shortly after the fiat was issued, a meeting of their creditors was held at Manchester, and two trustees were appointed. In the interim, some specie, which had been consigned by the partners at Pernambuco, who were solvent, was seized at Liverpool, but subsequently they paid the amount of the im port duty and sold the goods. Payments were then made to some of the creditors, but a misunderstanding bad arisen in reference to this duty which had been paid, the consignors contending that it should be returned to them. His HONOUR said it was difficult to come to a correct judgment on the case without knowing the state of the ac counts between all the parties; but as they were agreed in desiring him to make an order, he would direct that the money in the hands of the trustee should be paid to the assignees, under the fiat of one of the partners (Johnson) without prejudice to the demand of the deceased. SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 20. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) PALMER V. JAMES. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 31. 10s. for a quarter's rent. - The defendant lives in Canal-place, Camberwell, and held the house under an agreement, and pleaded that he was not indebted. The agreement was proved, and when• Mr. TMOMAB, who appeared as counsel for the defendant, examined it, he said he could not sustain the defence. The agreement was not stamped, and it appeared that the defendant relied on the terms as requiring no stamp. RUSSELL AND WRIGHT V. MOODY. The plaintiffs in this action are the successors to the well•. known Mr. Warren, the blacking merchant, in the Strand; the defendant is a grocer at Castle Carey, Somersetshire. The action was brought to recover the value of twenty half-boxes of blacking, alleged to have been supplied by the defendant's order. Mr. ThomAs called the plaintiff's traveller, who spoke to obtaining the order in the usual course. and the transmission of the goods per order. Mr. PARRY appeared for the defendant, and cross-examined the witness, with an endeavour to show that only six boxes had been ordered, and that the goods had been returned, but he did not elicit any answers to bear out the defence, and submitted to a verdict. WEST V. KEASLEY. This was an action to recover the value of coals supplied to defendant, who pleaded in abatement that he was not solely liable, but that at the time of the goods being deli vered other persons were in partnership with him. The case was not completed, depending on the question as to when the partnership terminated, and was not of public im portance. COURT OF BANKIWPCY, Jan. 20. THE FLORES EXPEDITION.—IN RE WILCOX SLEIGH. This insolvent, who described himself as of Somerset-street, Portman-square, a Captain in the naval service of Spain, • came up this day for his interim order. The ins , ,lvent's name has lately been prominently brought bofore the public in connexion with the Flores expedition." His debts amounted to 370/. ; property "nothing.' He was supported by Mr. Buchanan. solicitor, of Basing tall-street, and opposed on behalf of Mrs. Cumberland, the lanilady of a furnished house occupied by him in Brompton row, Brompton, for which he paid a rent of 1201. a year. He underwent a strict examination as to his means of payment at the time he took the house. He :,aid he had saved money from his services in Spain and Portugal, and also as Assistant- Commissioner of Police at Manchester, and expected a re appointment from the Home-office. The COMMISSIONER—How came you to give up the ap pointment? Captain Sleigh—l did not resign ; the appoint ment depended on an Act of Parliament which existed only for three years, being passed for the suppression of the dis turbances in the north. He had also received 1001. from Sir J. Kirkland, an advance on his patent for a sea barrier and breakwater. He had made a proposition to his creditors to avoid these proceedings. The COMMISSIONER —What proposition can you make now? —I cannot make any at present, persecution has pre vented me. The insolvent admitted that " hope" was on the " Home office," an " appointment" under the British Government, and his expectation under the " Flores Expedition"; and His HONOUR did not consider there had been any miscon duct on the part of the insolvent to prevent a day for the final order, the appointment of assignee being adjourned, the opposing creditor might have in the interim the opportunity of obtaining full information. Interim order granted. STATISTICS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN GREAT BRITAIN.

SHOCKINGLY FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE EDG • WARE-ROAD.—On Tuesday a very shocking and instants . neously fatal accident occurred in the Edgware-road, almost at the corner of Cambridge-street. It happened between eleven and twelve o'clock, and hundreds of persons who were hurrying to see her Majesty proceed to Parliament became cognisant of it. The unhappy victim was a waggAter, named Richard Head, aged about 30, tri the employ of Messrs. Parry, coal merchants, of the Harrow-road. At th, hour indicated, he was driving a team of horses that were progressing towards Hyde-park, with a waggon laden wit ti coke. A por tion of the harness got deranged, and whilst Head was trying to arrange it,without stopping the horses, they started off, and threw him down, and one of the wheels passed straight over his head, crushing it to pieces. The brains were so com pletely squeezed out, that the policeman scooped them up with his hands. Of course death and the accident were si multaneous.

The plaintiff, it will be remembered, was a passenger from Sydenham by the Croydon Railway Company, but upon his journey up it appeared that he had lost his ticket, and upon refusing to pay the whole fare from Croydon, was given in charge to a policeman, and brought before the Lord Mayor, and was finally discharged upon paying the fare claimed. The action was brought to recover compensation in da mages for the imprisonment complained of. Mr. KENNEDY was heard at great length against the de murrer; at the conclusion of which the Court gave judgment against the company, on the ground that they had no right to give a passenger in charge under the circumstances of the case. 1841 PROPOSAL FOR. A NATIONAL RE- MONSTUANCE AGAINST SLAVERY. From the People's Journal. The abolitionists of America have always coveted the ex pression of sympathy from abroad. Subject, as they con stantly are, to the deadly hostility of the slave-holding interests, they are cheered and invigorated by every voice—no matter how remote its source—which pronounces a condem nation of slavery, and demands the liberty of the negro. The cause of emancipation in America depends, in a greater degree than may be supposed, upon the bearing assumed by the friends of - freedom in England. Reciprocal influences prevail between nations as among individuals, and one nation may determine the conduct of another nation, as effectually as one man may exercise a suasion upon the mind of his fellow-being. See how the flame kindled by the Anti-corn-law League lights up a kindred element in European nations—they have caught the spirit of anti-monopoly, and are " up and doing." The applanse with which the champion of free trade has been everywhere greeted, attests that the eyes of Europe have been upon England curing the reccnt struggle—and that her ex • ample has extended its int uence wherever mis-government exists. The struggle for free trade will also inflnence future revolutions with a tremendous power. It has demonstrated that the earnest but peaceful assertion of truth and right is sufficient for the t.verthrow of the harshest tleal otism, and that the power of mind is more potent than that of the sword. The world has b •en taught the grand lesson—that civil anarchy is not the necessary prelude to the establishment of civil right. If the g.,od works of Englishmen may excite emulation in the breasts of their brethren of France. Germany, and Spain, how much greater will be their influence upon a people speaking the same tongue, having the same common origin, and united to each other by links or the most inseparable kind? Who amongst us but has some tie—in addition to that of the common brotherhood—up n the extended soil of America ? Who has no friend, no schoolfellow, no relative within the great boundary of American rule ? England, perhaps, more than any other nation, owes a duty America ; and certainly no other people can perform such a duty so effectively as the English. We owe it then, as a duty to God and to man, and to Americans espe evilly to speak out against the dreadful oppression of which the black slave is the victim. And there are many reasons why the voce of England should be heard now. The spirit of emancipation is just taking deep root, and it becomes every lover of liberty to foster and encourage its growth. The American Abolitionists have been led to expect a loud and untuis. akable expression of sympaihy , from England—they lank for it, and they must have it—and it must be equal to their expectations • not a weak puny murmur that shall die away upon the wind, but a voice ,that shall strike t' - ;e ear of humanity throughout the whole civilised world, and quicken the blood in the hearts alike of the doers of evil and of good. There must be a stir in the moral elements that shall excite each one to ask of himself—. Am I on the side of right or wrong?" But how shall this voice be 'expressed ? Shall it be by a word now, and another then ; one uttered here, and another there? Or shall the voice of England against American sla very be one loud, united, and earnest protest against the prac tires of the oppressor? It, as we are told, an address signed by 300 English people encourages and invigorates the American abolitionists, t y that mysterious influence which sympathetic feeling never fails to impart—how much more the voice of 3,000? how grew the expression of 300,• 00 voices? or, one glorious step further— say how mighty in its effect the united declaration of three mil lions of men, women, and youths of Great Britain, against the enslavement n, the negro race I There are three millions of slaves in the united States—are there not three millions of people in Great Britain who will sign a friendly remonstrance against American slavery ? Will not every man assert the right of his fellow-mao—every woman the right of her fellow woman—to freedom ? Yes; all this may be done—it only re mains to set about it with an earnest resolution. The writer may be said to he sanguine,at;dhe has reason to be so. A few years ago, he sat with five others in a room in Manchester, and there he proposed a National Petition to Parliament, praying the right of suffrage fur the British adult male population. Yes—when it was proposed there were only five persons present—and he afterwards betook himself to soli tude to frame the prayer of the British people to their rulers. A few months afterward., and his was the joy to see that petition borne down to the House of Commons upon the shoulders of sixteen sturdy men—the monster petition, banded around with thick ropes—signed by three millions and a half of the British people—cheered by the assembled multitude as it passed along —obliged to be parted in twain ere it could be passed through the doors of the House of Commons (a full House of Members had assembled to meet it), and though they granted not its prayer, still within and without the doors of that House, it created a conviction and a power which have imperceptibly swayed the subsequent work of peaceable and just legislation. He would like to see a remonstrance against slavery, ad dressed to the American people, through their President, signed by three millions of the British people ! He hopes to look upon the grand spectacle of this remonstrance being borne through the streets of Liverp oo l ; an d th en comm i tte d to the Great Western for its transatlantic passage. Such a do cument will find willing recipients on the shores of New York; and its undoubted effect will be the creation of an irresistibie moral power, that shall ultimately effect the freedom of the slave ? Englishmen —we can do it: and why not? LUCILE GRAHN AND THE VENETIANS.—A letter from Venice of January 3, says :--" Nothing is talked of here but the sudden departure of the celebrated dan seuse, Mdlle. Lucile Grahn, who had been engaged for the three months of the carnival, at the sum of 40,000 livres, and who, on quitting the Venice Theatre, has given up that amount. Mrille. Lucile Grahn, having wished to overthrow the old system of Italian panto mimes, in order to introduce the kind of French ballets, the artistes employed in the choregraphic department united together to defeat this project. A cabal, similar to that of which Marie Taglioni was last year the victim at Milan, was organised against Lucile Grahn, and when that charming artiste came on the stage fir the first time in the ballet of the Gipsy, a dozen individuals in the pit received her with shouts and threats. The young lady remained a moment as if thunderstruck, and then with a gesture full of calmness, ordered the curtain to be dropp , d, and, in spice of everything which could he done to retain her, quitted the city immediately. V.-nice will long suff r from this ever.t, for what f -reign artiste of celebrity would come and expose herself to a similar cabal ?" According to an account given in a Venice journal the disturbance was partly caused by the prices of admission having been unexpectedly raised. THE REPRESENTATION OF BATH.--At a meeting of electors, held on Wednesday, the hillowing resolution was passed among others:—" l'hat Lord Ashley having c!:nsented to be put in nomination as ono of the repre sentatives of this city, at the next Parliamentary elec tion, it is desirable to raise a fund to defray the legiti mate expenses of such election, and that a subscription he forthwith commenced fur that purpose."—Somerset Gazette. DEATH OF LORD KINGSALE.—The Exeter Flying.. Post announces the decease of this nobleman, whose family name is so familiar to those interested in heraldry and genealogy. His Lordship died on the 7th inst , at Ringrone House, near Kingsbridge. The deceased John Stapleton de Courcy, Lord Kingsale, Baron Courcy of Courcy, and of Ringrone, Premier Barin in the Peerage of Ireland, was born September 17, 1805, and succeeded his uncle, the twenty-seventh Lord, in 1832. In Oc tober, 1825, he married Sarah, second daughter of Jo seph Chadder, E , q., of Devonshire, by whom he had issue five children, including the Hon. John Constantme (born in 1827), who succeeds to the title and estates, which latter lay in the county of Cork, Ireland. The De Courcys came to this country with William the . Co nqueror. The first holding the above title was Sir John de Courcy, who was distinguished in the wars of Eng. land and Ireland in the time of Henry 11. Having been champion of England in a dispute with France, and having vanquished the greatest swordsman of the period in the latter country, King John granted him and his descendants the privilege of remaining covered in the presence of the Sovereign. We may add, that up to the present time, the right has been exercised by members of the family. SOHAM.—ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT FIRE, AND COM MITTAL OF THE SUPPOSED INCENDIARY.—We have to record another attempt at fire in this unfortunate parish, which, providentially, like the last, was unsuccessful on the part of the incendiary. About a fortnight since, it was discovered that the buildings opposite the Baptist Chapel had had a most narrow escape of fire, a hand• kerchief with turf ashes, and a box of Inciters, the former partly consumed, being found in a barn bel •nging to Messrs. Owers. Suspicion had for some little time rested upon an individual named Munson, as being con cerned in other fires, although no actual clue could be obtained, and on the present occasion that suspicion was strengthened by several circumstances; on inquiry being made, it was ascertained that the handkerchief 'had been in Munson's possession only a few days previous. This act led to his being taken into custody, and after an examination before John Dobede, Esq., he was remanded for a week, and on Tuesday last again underwent a more lengthened hearing before the Newmarket bench, when the evidence adduced was found sufficient to justify them in fully committing the prisoner for trial. As the different witnesses gave their evidence, they were cross exam:ned by Munson at great length, but without any other result than that of strengthening the ease agains him.
