I am, I believe, the oldest Member of either House of the Legisla tint, and I entertain the deepest Ming of gratitude and thankful ness to Divine Providence that my life has been spared to witness the ascomplishment of all the great measures of Public policy which I was early taught by mymost dear and ever-lamented friend, 11r.

I have lived to see every disability by reason of religions opinions removed; the representation of the Harm of Commens placed open a mast popular and, in my judgment, sound and substantial Itunda ton; ail restriction upon, the procurement of human food in the course of permanent abolition ; the people of England contented and prosperous at home, the!,r power universally felt and respected abroad, and tkeir policy and. free institutions exercising a most teneticial and salutary Intle.ence in every quarter of the globe ; and all this under the reign of a Queen adorned by every virtue, and whose object and aim. in life seem to be the welfare and happiness of her subjects, an@ the general good of mankind. I have only to add, that for you I shall to my dying hour entertain the most sincere sentiments of affection and gratitude, and I feel that the best wish I can utter for my country is that all the con stituencies of the empire may ever be actuated by that steady and rational love of civil and religious liberty, and attachment to upright, honourable, and consistent public conduct, which I have for upwards of half a century experienced, to be ail-powerful in the county of Middlesex.

Saving the somewhat diminished violence of the combatants at La Plata, the southern continent of America has preserved a slothful peace, from the extremity of Patagonia to the Caribbean sea.

Reviewing these conflicting circumstances in the different quarters of this ter r'queous globe, circumstances which stamp tihr by gone year of 1846, as one not the least remark able in the past centuries, it is impossible for the mind to abstain from a bewildering oscillation be tween the brightness of hope and the darkness of trepidation. Italy, regenerated under the en lightened guidance of Plus IX., is a consolatory and sublime spectacle, but Poland, annihilated by the brute force of imperial accomplices, is in some mea sure a counterpoise. Germany, awakening to a con sciousness of her own capability for social and politi cal greatness, is a sublime spectacle, but the Iberian peninsula groaning under the damning influence of a Gallic schoolmaster and a Gallic ambassador, is a counterpoise. Belgium, flourishing under the guardianship of a beneficient constitution, is a se , lime spectacle, but Switzerland, writhing under the strug gles of infuriated sectarians, is a counterpoise. Egypt dawning into its pristine greatness is another sublime spectacle, but Mexico, dismembered and deluged with the blood of her citizens, is again a counterpoise. Internally Great Britain affords us equal came for exultation and dread.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Minister - 12d programme of the session, published in the Journal des Dibats of the day preceding, and which we gave yesterday, is the subject of comment imall of them, The Consirtutionnel has the following article on this tubject, which may be considered as thy, programme of the Opposition for the approaching seasion:— `e A few days scarcely separate us frome the opening of thCh embers, and no one conce a l s f rcm h i mself the Particular interest and gravity whi c h t h e Parliamentary divasions will have this year on account of the diffi• cult, situation in which the faults of the Ministry have Placed France. To give some satisfaction to public im • Patience, the principal organ of the Ministry has been Pleesed to raise a corner of the lkeil which hides the futere, and allow us to get a glimpse of what Ministerial wialora and eloquence destined to us. A session, which °Pim in the midst of a financial crisis = cannot termi nate without some attempts being as least made to Pall Ate an evil which was treated as merely chimerical when the Opposition predicted it, and endeavoured to Prevent it, and the existence of which is at present ach liowledged so lightly/ An endeavour is merely made to e'e:plain it by the too great rigour of the conditions white have, it is a lleged, been imposed on railway co m - Pltnle-s. That is not the truth. We never opposed tim etable conditions being accorded to useful under -1 takiegs, but the cause of the evil is not in the conditions which have b een vote d, or in the degree of confidence with which they have been able to inspire the public. The e vil, every mar, o f sense allows, is in th e number of the nedertakings which have been authorised, in the ex cess' ,f public works ordered, in the exaggerated appeal made to the financial resources of France. Now, what reinee yis it pr o p ose d to apply? Too many rail wa y s h ave been conceded, and the resources .ef the country are Or,t, aufacient for the execution of all the works, the atethorieation of which has been demanded from the imPrtvidence of the majority. Do yon believe that some restrictions are about- to be applied to this ex ee'3ise d evelopment of publie.eroehe?

W e aro told that the session which is about to o p en w i ll behold a thousand good intentions coming i n t o ex i stence and eepiring. Since a u t umn the Alireetry is convert e d to all kinds of reforms, which sySto particularly distasteful to them last year. It has % very decided taste for the abolition of the duty on salt; it is enamoured a postal reform; and on certain days it has a tendency for the conversion of the Five per Cents. But the autaren which has enlightened our Mi nisters has been marked by such deplorable severity, this severity of 'he bed harvest,-and of that in throwing light into the mind of the Ministry, it has deprived them of the rooms of profiting by it averything, with the hope Caas In donsequence of the financial crisi s _it i s found necessary to :sesiixt t ) h ,e a s t rs ha. s d om ha e re o e f st sti ! the opportunity will rY to postpone again appear. 111 intention e d persons might, it is true , on which ted, that : o re tilloy Npli g0my12.41 1* t Tjj9givaltlAt is :weed le n l o e t l i al or w a a t i Y o s n e s z la into a funeral oration, might have been carried out. But then they had something else to do; it was ne cessary to prepare the electoral body for an admiration of the Conservative system ; it was necessary to make a conquest of the Marquesas, then to make their peace with M. Pritchard, and then to quarrel with England ; and when all these fine things had consumed the time and talents of our Ministers at the moment of occupying themselves with improvements and setting vigorously to work, this unfortunate autumn comes to deprive them of ell means of acting, and has only left them good intentions. It is autumn that, with ten departments, has drowned the conversion of the Five per Cents., postal reform, and the abolition of the duty on salt. With the severity of the autumn what remedy can be found ? As to the foreign relations of Franco, we are invited, as well as the rest of Europe, to hold our ears attentive and to prepare ourselvet for the prodigies of eloquence which we shall have to hear. What is to take place ? Will foreign peace be maintained ? Will passions be soothed down or excited ? Will the liberty of Europe have to praise, or to complain of, the solemn trial which is announced ? All this is not stated, but we are aasurod that M. Guizot will make plenty of fine speeches. We shall have phrases to consol us for the fall of Cracow and our isolation." The Commerce is exceedingly bitter against the Government, not only on account of the postpone• rnent of the various promised reforms, but also on account of the reasons given for the postponement. "Up to the present hour we had thought," says the Commerce, " that public calamities, great crises, and the financial embarrassments of a country, imposed on those whe govern the obligation of seeking immediately, in a better organisation of the taxes—in new combinations — in the reform of certain portions of the budget which are over- onerous, a remedy for evils, the diminution of which cannot without danger be postponed. The present Government is not of this opinion. Experience, oppo sition, crises, are for them only a pretext to persevere in a vicious course. It has not the courage to meet difficul ties opeltly; all that it can do is to postpone the solution of them; yesterday, on the plea that the country en joyed an apparent prosperity; to-day, because it is un fortunate; to-morrow, who knows, because France has been placed by them at the verge of ruin, and because then, and in reality, it will be too late to prop up the social edifice." The Republican National, which seems to vie with our own " territorial aristocracy" in its hatred of the commercial and banking interests, is exceedingly irate with the Minister for the sort of half hope held out in the programme that something will be done to assist railroad companies so as to prevent any undue pressure upon the Money-market. The National more than insinuates that the ruin of bankers and capitalists would be a benefit to the nation. The Freese is furious at the supposition that M. Guizor can entertain an idea of reconciliation with England. The Russian serf is working bravely for his autocratic master, but we doubt whether he will persuade Frenchmen that it would be for their advan tage, or their honour, that France should become Cossack. We find also in the Presse the following semi-official announcement::— " We are assured that the speech from the Throne will contain a paragraph having reference to the sup pression of Cracow. This would be in effect the surest means of establishing the character of the protest of the French Cabinet against the act of the three Rowers." The " Societe pour le Libre Echana, held its fourth public sitting on Tuesday, in threat room in the Rue Montesquieu. The assemblage was very numerous. The business of the day was opened by I a speech from M. CHARLES DUNOTER, the President, who, with great clearness and firmness, maintained the advantages of free trade, and contended against the policy of the Protectionists. He was followed by M. BLANQUI, M. MICHEL CHEVALIER, and M. HORACE SAT, all of whom supported the principles laid down by the President and the general objects of the Association. M. FREDERICK BASTIAT intended ' to address the meeting, but the lateness of the hour compelled the President to adjourn. The Duke and Duchess DB MONTPENSIER are to make an excursion to Brussels in the month of February. According to the Constitutionnel, the corps cliplo matique are greatly perplexed as to how the question of the Montpensier marriage is to be treated of in the usual congratulatory address presented by them to the KING of the FRENCH on New Year's-day. " The speech," says the Constitutionnel, " which is to be delivered by the KING on the Ist of January, by the representative of the diplomatic corps, appears to be the object of a real negotiation. The question is, whether the Pors's Nuncio, who is likely to ad dress the KING in the name of the corps diplomatique, shall make more or lass allusion to the Duke DB MONTPENSIER'S marriage, and whether he shall speak of it as a mere family or a political alliance."

DEATH of SIR F. L. WOOD; BART. FATHER OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. (From the Doncaster Gazette of this day.) It is with deep regret we announce the death of Sir Francis Lindley Wood, Baronet, of llickleton Hall, near this town, which took place yesterday, at a quarter be fore one o'clock, r.x., in the 76th year of his age. The deceased was the second baronet, and son of Cap tain Charles Wood, of Bowling Hall, by the daughter and co-heir of Thomas Lacon Barker, of Otley, in this county. He was born in the year 1771, and in 1:11,3 married the daughter and co-heir of Samuel Buck, Esq., of New Grange, by whom he has at present two children living—the Right Hon. Charles Wood, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mrs. John Walbanke Childers, of Cantley Hall, near this town. The first baronet received his title, with remainder to the heirs male of his deceased brother, who was father of the late baronet. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHANGE.-FRIDA Y. A very moderate supply of English Wheat has been re ceived up to our market this week, and the show of samples of that grain was very small. These circumstances, together with the brisk advices received from the whole of the country markets, had considerable influence upon the minds of both holders and dealers. Although we cannot call the English Wheat trade brisk, on account of the absence of supply, the transactions concluded were at an advance on Monday's quotations of from is to in some instances 2s per quarter. Free Foreign was in excellent request, and some large sales were made at fully 20 per quarter more money. Corn under lock was held at a similar advance. The best parcels of Barley produced is per quarter more money, the value of all other kinds being steadily supported. Although the supply of Malt was on the increase, the sale was firm, at is per quarter more money. Very few fresh Oats were on offer. The trade was steady, at an improve ment of quite 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour,. the supplies of which were short, were firm, and the quotat ions had an upward tendency. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. English .. •• .. I 3,690 qrs. 5,050 qrs.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, We have just received a file of papers from the Cape of GOod Hope to the 24th October. They are nearly a fortnight later than those last received, and contain some interesting particulars respecting the Kafir war. The following are extracts from them : (From the Graham's Town Journal.) Information was received in town of the plunder of a waggon belonging to Mr. J. 11. Greathead, and the cap ture of a span of twelve oxen belonging to it by the Kaflrs. It appears that this waggon was on ita way down from Cradock, in company with several others, for mutlial, protection, but that on reaching the Fish River Rand, it parted from the rest of the convoy, the driver, a Hottentot, against the will of the rest, persisting in going forward alone. It seems that it had reached near De Bruin's Poort, when a small party of Kafirs emerged from the bush, and on firing a shot or two both driver and leader instantly abandoned their charge, and fled for their lives. The owner on re• ceiving a report of this proceeded to the spot, and on reaching it found that the marauders had gone off with the oxen. They had also rifled the waggon of four or five small casks of butter, had broken open the waggon-chest, and abstracted what they pleased of its contents, § had stripped off the new sailcloth, and had taken it away, together with a waggon-chain. No clue has been found which affords any hope of the recovery of any part of this booty. Received some further ac counts from Fort Beaufort, and which give a most gloomy description of the state of affairs in that locality. Tho inhabitants are very short of food, and the military so badly off for supplies, that grass is bought of the Fingo women to:feed the dragoons' horses, at the rate of 15s. per 1001bs.l It is said that there is abundance of grass where this is brought from, a dis tance of about four or five miles from the post, but that the horses are not sent there from apprehension lest they should be carried off by the Kafirs; and a sufficient guard cannot, it seems, be spared from the post to pro• tect them against the attacks of these adroit plun derers. Some fine rain had fallen in that neighbour hood, and the country was rapidly recovering from the effects of the long and severe drought. Every thing was at a stand for want of draught oxen and of horses. About forty waggons were in Beaufort without an ox to draw them. Hundreds of oxen bad perished from starvation, and it is affirmed that, on one occasion, out of a span of ten tied to a waggon at night before the commissariat buildings, eight or nine were found dead the next morning. The Kaffirs are said to be suffering dreadfully from dysentery, the effect of ex posure to the weather and unwholesome diet; but still it is not thought they will submit to the terms insisted on by his Excellency the Governor, but will continue to harass the colony by attacks at different points, in the manner they have done during the last few weeks . . . . Learnt that ten or twelve head of cattle were swept off on Saturday from the farm of Mr. C. Maynard, Burnt Kraal, about fire mile north-east of town. SATURDAY.—From persons who have just reached town from the troops in Kafirland, we learn that a camp is about to be formed immediately at the mouth of the Buffalo, where Government stores were landed during the Kafir war of 1835, with perfect success, under the superintendence of Mr. J. Bailie,, and for which exer tions, and the intelligence he displayed in acquiring a thorough knowledge of that locality, he received the especial thanks of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Ben jamin D'Urban. Why may not the same person be again employed there ? . . . Information received that several horses and cattle, the property of Mr. L. H. Meurant, had been carried off from the neighbourhood of Riebeck A portion of the new levy, about 40 in number, raised in this district, have arrived in Graham's Town. They aro men of colour, and are from the institution of Farmerfield, and as we believe also from the institution of Theopolis. The new levies have not come forward readily, and it is though there will be considerable difficulty in raising the number required by the requisition of the Commander in-Chief. . . . Informed that besides the oxen reported on Moaday, as carried off from the farm Burnt Kraal, ten horses have also been taken from the same place. Four of these animals are the property of Mr. Enis, now residing en that place, and who is now deprived of his last horse . . . Detachment of the 45th Regiment marched from town at noon to-day for the camp at Waterloo Bay. The summary for the past week, in reference to the progress of the pending warfare, may be significantly comprised in the words state quo. The state of the weather and the rise of the rivers have prevented com munication, and retarded active operations on both sides. A few losses have been reported, but these are not of a nature, or to an extent, to call for particular remark. The sentence of death, passed at the last Circuit Court, on the Artillery driver Long, for shooting his officer, Captain Shepherd, at I'ost Victoria, was carried into execution on Thursday morning before the gate of the prison at this place. (From the Cape Frontier Times.) WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7.—lt rained heavily and inces santly the whole of this day. . . Colonel Somerset arrived in town. . . . A mail from Waterloo Bay brings intelligence of the wreck of the Catherine barque at that place. This vessel, 260 tons burden, had on board 300 tons of supplies for the Government, amongst which were about 150 tons of forage corn. The following account of the wreck of this vessel, drawn up by the captain, has been published in the Journal of the 10th :-- Camp Waterloo Bay, Oct. 3, 1846 Sir—T beg to hand you the particulars regarding the wreck of the barque Catherine, now stranded in this bay. We arrived here yesterday at 3h. 3Orn. p.m., wind blowing fresh from the westward, anchored in eight fathoms, sent down the main-top-gallant yard, &c., and got all ready for discharging. At midnight found that the cable had got foul of a rock; called all hands, it blowing strong from the south west, with lightning. At three P.M., parted from the best bower cable ; brought up with the other bower ; at five A.M., parted the same; let go the stream, but found this to be of no avail as the vessel took the ground abaft, with a tremendous sea running, obliging the crew, &c., to get into the rigging for safety, as the waves swept the ship right fore and aft. Under these cir cumstances, slipped the stream cable; at seven A.M. drove on shore half a mile to the eastward of the usual landing place, where, thank to an all-wise Providence, we suc ceeded in getting on shore by a whale or rather surf boat, which was manned by Mr. Salmond and four men, to whom I and my crew are deeply indebted; also to Lieut. Forsyth, R.N., for his able assistance in the hour of danger. The Catherine, lam sorry to say, is now breaking up, and there is little or no prospect of getting any of the stores landed in good condition.—l am, &e. J. BROWN, Master of the Catherine. We are sorry to perceive in the private accounts re ceived, that circumstances are stated connected with the stranding of this vessel which are calculated to excite suspicion that this misfortune has not been altogether the result of accident. We shall only observe that there is something so diabolically wicked, so disgustingly brutal and thoroughly villainous in an attempt to wreck a ship and risk the lives of human beings for the paltry consideration of gain, that no man who is an honest man, or values his reputation as an honest man, will bear the slightest reflection to rest upon his character in such a matter as this ; and if his Excellency the Governor, who is on the spot, has not already instituted an inquiry on the subject of this wreck, it will be a duty which Captain Brown owes to himself, to his friends, and to the public, to call for such investigation. The vessel and freight were both insured, and the Government, it appears, alone is a loser to the amount of some thousands of pounds. The loss of the large quantity of supplies which this ves sel contained is a serious public misfortune. THURSDAY.—The Cape mail due on Monday arrived to-day. The Zuid Afrikaan states that the steamer Inflexible has brought 55,0001. in specie for the military chest, a large quantity of gunpowder, 2,000 stand of arms, and seven field cfficers. Among the latter we also find the names of Lieut.-Colonel Napier, the son of Commodore Sir Charles Napier, appointed to fill the situation of Deputy Adjutant-General to the forces. Within a few days we may also expect the arrival of reinforcements of troops, consisting of the 6th Regiment, the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and other service companies, the whole amounting to about 2,500 men, in cluding officers. Supplies of biscuit, oats, &c., aro also said to be on their way here. Last night two individuals wore drowned in attempt ing to cross one of the streams in Graham's Town, which had been greatly swollen by the late rains. The particulars of this fatal accident are not known. The names of the parties are Kemp and Maynard, both of them Englishmen. The former had been attached to the Cradock contingent, and the latter was the contractor's issuer at Waterloo-bay. It is said that both had been drinking at a canteen. Their bodies were found horribly bruised and disfigured, from having been beaten against the rocks over which they were swept by the violence of the torrent. The death of a Fingo, who, it is supposed, had also been drinking, and who lay down in the rain, is also reported. . . The artilleryman Long, who was found guilty at the last circuit held in Graham's Town, of having shot his commanding officer, Captain Shepherd, at Post Victoria, underwent the extreme penalty of the law, in front of the district gaol, this morning. We do not know why this ,unfortunate man was allowed to live six months after his conviction with the rope round his neck, but this we know, that such cruelty to a condemned criminal would not ba tolerated in the parent country. We know not who is to blame in the matter, but justice and mercy required that this punishment of the wretched man having been so long delayed should hare been commuted. Whether he was kept in suspense of his fate all this time, or was all along aware that he would be executed, we also know not, but under either supposition he has been treated with great cruelty. FRIDAY.—The head-quarters of the 73d Regiment reached town to day, more than 400 men strong. One company has been left at Cape Town and one at Port Elizabeth. This regiment was detained at Ilowitson's port in consequence of the inclemency of the weather. The new road through this pass we are sorry to hear has suffered much injury A detachment of the Graham's Town Hottentot Levy proceeded to occupy the posts at Riebeck e and Pal miet Fontein, which had been wholly abandoned by the burghers lately stationed there. . . . Report re ceived that a span of eight oxen had been carried off by Kafirs from the vicinity of Riebeek. These oxen belong to Mr. Meurant, and are the last of 300 head which the Kafirs have taken from him during the present war. Some other depredations are also re ported in different parts. SATURDAY.—A 'detachment of the 45th Regiment proceeded to head quarters of the Commander-in-Chief near Waterloo Bay. MONDAY.—MaiI from Fort Beaufort brings intelli gence of the capture and recapture of the flocks of Mr. Ayton, and of the death of Mr. W. Cumming, of Fort Beaufort, who was shot by Kafirs as he was gallantly heading his party in the rescue of these flocks. TUESDAY.—About fifty men of the New Albany levy hale been placed at the disposal of the Commandant, about twelve of whom are mounted. They are now being equipped. A few of these melt will be sent to - reinforce the post at Manley's flat, where a few burghers had already been stationed, and another party will occupy the post at Waay Plants, Through these posts the cons munication with head- quarters, Waterloo Bay, will be kept up. It is expected that about 100 men will be drafted from Graham's Town. Mr. J. O'Brien, cap tain of the Tiraillours, will take command of the first 2 company of the Albany contingeWy. . . The two Fingoes who were sent to the Wiqstrate here some months ago on a charge of killing a . s. afir, and by him sent to the resident magistrate in whose district the crime was committed, have been condemned is death at the Circuit at Port Elisabeth. The facts are briefly thew-- Three Kafirs had lived some fifteen years wi . th a farmer in the Uitenhage district, and in service had aCcumulatei many cattle. After th e breakin g out of the liafir war, t h e i r ' raster, seeing other Ka firs leavin g their e.roploy ment, and thinking it imprudent to retain them, Cave them a pass and sent them away. They determines t o go to Enon, mission:lry station, with their property. O. their way they requezted shelter for the night of some Fingoes in the service of farmer in the neighbourhood of Quagga's Blot. This ws,e refuifd. The Kafirs thenthe applied to the master for shelter, wiio told them howeer might go to a certain place , which was, , too far for them to - rea ch that sight, and they accordingly remained o n the farm, In th e night the Fingoes assaulted one of the degga" tors of the Kafirs, and afterwards killed elle 9f the men with a knobstick in the most bra tat manner. They subsequently took the cattle, and for this , act they are now condemned to suffer. The Fingoes did not plead in their defence that it was war time, but said that they were on the spoor of cattle stolen, five of which they said they found in possession of the Kafirs. The jury recommended the prisoners to mercy because they thought that there would not have been sufficient evi dence to convict them without their own confession. This case is recommended to the consideation of his Excellency, as one in which, perhaps under All circum stances, the ends of justice would be better statisfied in making the punishment of these men useful to society as convicts, than by taking their lives. . . A. com munication from Bathurst states that the Go7ernor has sent for Field-cornet Bradshaw, to make arranZeine ts concerning the cattle lately captured in Kafirland. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) TAE NEW YEAR—A GOOD COMMENCEMENT. Mr. Alderman Johnson sat at Guildhall to-day, and heard several summonses, of no public interest, with one env ception, given below. During the last few days of the old year, the Court has been occupied for several hours: with crime in all its variety, but to-day, strange to say, not one charge was brought from either of the three station-houses attached to this Court, and only one case, we understand, was sent to the Mansion-house from the other three stations. A case of some interest to householders was brought under the Wilful Trespass Act, before Mr. Alderman Johnson. Philip Castainy, a dealer in foreign birds, appeared upon an information for wilful trespass, laid against him by Mr. Price, the landlord of the house No, Is 3, Flees-street. The circumstances were these The defendant took the first floor in complainant's house as sale rooms for his livL'lg wares, but without the landlord's permission lie drove staples, wall-hooks, and door-nails into the oreamental wood-work of the hall and passage, to suspend there from the cages of his various birds, reptiles, and Oiler animals. He also placed a man at the door to invite ele attention of the passers by to his zoological curiosities. and thus made the passage his own, to the great annoy ance of the other tenants, and what Mr. Price considered still more grievous, to the effect of preventing other parts of the premises from being let. Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said that the Court could not relieve Mr. Price in respect to the latter part of his complaint, and as to the alleged trespass, that did not come within the meaning of the Act, as the holdfasts, hooks, and nails, were driven into the door, at least under the colour of a right, and the only remedy must be by an action. Mr. .Alderman Johnson added that it was unreasonable to let the place to the man for the purpose of carrying on his business+ and yet prevent him from making the necessary use of . . the premises. Mr. Price was proceeding to give a long statement of wrongs, when the Magistrate interrupted him by di,' missing the ease. tIOW-STREET—(THIS DAY). Francis Edward Collyer, a young man of about 2 1 years of age, was charged with stealing 441. in notes and gold, the property of his employer, Mr. Woods, of 4S Southampton-buildings. The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been for some years in his service as almessenger, but occasionallt employed as a clerk. On the 22d he (witness) missed four bank-notes, one for 201., one for 101., and two for 5/., and 4/. in gold, from a drawer in which he usual kept money. He gave information to the police ham.' diately. He had since seen the 201. note, which had beer; paid into the Bank of England ; it was endorsed " J. It- Wells, No. 1, George-street, Walwortb," (there being no such place), and the endorsement was in the prisoner' . hand- writing. Mr. Isaac Samuels, an assistant to Mr. Hyam, the tailor, of Gresham-street, said that on the 22d of Mr camber the prisoner " entered Mr. Hyam's estublishnie o , in company with two ladies," and bought a suit O' clothes for 21. 10s. giving a 201. note in payment. Th e cashier received the note and gavo the prisoner th e change. The note had since been paid into the Bank. Sergeant Pocock, F 14, took the prisoner into car tody. He said nothing. 4L in gold was found on him , The prisoner said that he could give evidence to 8 1104 that he could not have been at Hyams, in Gresham' street, on the day mentioned, and asked the whiles /4 Samuels, what time it was when he saw him? The 'witness replied between half-past eleven and half past twelve. The prisoner said that at that time he was at th e Bankruptcy Court with Mr. Walters (to whom Woods is clerk). Mr. Woods said that the prisoner and Mr. Walter . did go to the Bankruptcy Court together, but it we much later in the day. It was past one when the pr" soner first canoe to his house, and be appeared off much excited. It was after that he went to the Court' The prisoner said that he could account for his ti m e from eleven o'clock, when he was signing a declaratioa i the Judges' Chambers on the day in question. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday next, eg Pocock said that by that day he would be able to COrA' plete the case. CLERKENIVELL.—(THIS DAY.) , Henry Johnson, a young man about twenty years o f age, dressed in an old professional-looking suit of black' and a once white neckerchief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Coombe, en the following charge of assault. Mr. Alfred King said, he was a surgeon and apotlic' cary, residing in Gray's-inn-lane, and about three o'clo ci ‘ yesterday afternoon, the defendant came into his shop , and asked to be served with some laudanum. The witnes! put the usual question to him as to what purpose he wanted it for, when he flew into a towering rage, and demande d to be served as a matter of right. Mr. King told bib s directly that he would not let him have any laudanutaf and as his language was very abusive, and his condkic most violent, ordered him out of the shop, upon which the defendant ran at him, and struck him several timcg', After considerable difficulty, the prisoner was put out 0 the shop, and taken to the station•house. The prisoner, when called upon to explain his co ' duct, blubbered like an over-grown child, and said 136 was partly intoxicated when he entered Mr. King's shcP• lie did not intend to poison himself, as Mr. King ill' sinuated.—He was committed to the House of Correc' lion for three weeks. Henry Bentley and Mary Bahr wera charged witliilA' stealing and pawning a large quantity of bedding * bed clothes, a carpet, a table cover, and various other articles from their lodging, No. 62, White Lion-strae 4 Clerkenwell. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickfield, the owner of the house , proved the case. The prisoners said that they were induced to pledge the property under the pressure of temporary emboli . ' rassment, but intended to release it as soon as they should receive some money which they were expecting- Mr. COMBE said that the facts of the case were too strong to permit him to deal with it under the Illeel Pawning Act, and he should therefore commit the Pry soners on the charge of-robbery. THE GREAT BRITAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Amongst the numerous plans submitted to the owner. of the steam-ship Great Britain, for her removal froni Dundrum Bay, there is one by Mr. S. R. Parkhurst , which he has exhibited to me; and I have no hesitation in saying, that if the owners adopt it, their valuable and beautiful ship will be saved. I have visited the Great Britain twice since she has been on shore, know her position, and feel assured that Mr. Parkhurst would float her, and take her to Liver• pool in perfect safety. Mr. Parkhurst is a practical man, is the inventor and patentee of a new propeller for steamers, and I would suggest that the directors of the Great Britain lose no time in taking Mr. Parkhurst'• plan into their consideration ; its adoption would save te ship, which, I observe, Mr. Brunel estimates at front 40,0001. to 60,0001., and that, too, at comparatively e small cost.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Liverpool, Dec. 31, 1846. W. E. G• rrnE AQUATIC BIRDS IN ST. JAMES'S PARIE."° During the present front the wild ducks and many other of the aquatic birds have, in consequence of the nly merous skater s on the ornamental water in St. James'o Park, qu i tte d the i s l an d an d l ocate d h i t h e R ege nt Park, and many have gone up the river Thames. THE CONDE DE MONTEMOLIN.—The Conde dd Montemolin was engaged the whole of yesterday in gii" ing audiences to numerous distinguished persons, both English and foreign, who had not previously had sal opportunity of being present. Mr. Cobden has left Spain for Italy. 111ELANCIIOLY LOSS OF Two Livzs oIQ THE RITES; —On Wednesday evening a waterman of the name of Payne, living at Greenwich, was rowing down to that pl ace , when, in moving from his seat for a moment, be suddenly pitched over, and was carried some way down the stream. He had been in the water but five minute° when he was got out and taken to a house in the neigh; bourhood of the platform at Rotherisithe, but was found to be quite dead. On the day previous a waterman 0 1 the name of Cornish, who plies at the King and Queen' stairs, Rotherithe, was passing along a boom by the eic lB of the stairs, when he slipped from it, and fell into thl water. The splash was he ar d, b u t as it was no t su ppose he had fallen in, no notice was taken of it by the other watermen. It was many hours before the bodl w e !, found.
