APPREHENSION of ONE of the INCENDIARIES.
On Thursday morning, about two o'clock, as the Glou-
cester mail was passing the farm-yard at Gangsdown
Hill, near Nettlebed, occupied by Mr. Deane, the passen-
gers discovered the thatched roof of one of the stables in
flames. The guard and some of them broke open the
stable door, in which were sixteen fine coach horses be-
longing to Mr. Costar of Oxford, and two men who had
the care of them fast asleep ; the whole wore saved. The
two last horses which stood in an inner stable were carried
out by some men, in doing the clothes of one caught fire,
but he received no other injury. Had not the fog thus
providentially delayed the progress of the mail a little be-
yond its usual time, both man and horses must have
perished. The property consumed were three stables, a
a cottage in which the shepherd lived, and two large barns
full of oats, the property of Mr. Deane of Mays Farm.
Yesterday morning shortly after the servant of Mr.
Garlick (at Beggar Bush Hill, one mile from the former
fire) came down stairs, she alarmed the family, stating
the woodhouse was in Limes. The inmates got up directly,
and soon succeeded in putting .out the fire without doing
much mischief. The girl stated when she came down
stairs she found two men in the place who had just set it
on fire, who threatened to murder her if she made any
alarm, and they would do it some other time. This morning
as the Birmingham coach was passing the house, the coachman
Thornton discovered the thatch of a pigstye and a stable in
flames. With the aid of the passengers and a few persons
who collected, the fire was got under after destroying the
thatch of the buildings and some poultry. As soon as the
coach arrived at Henley, Thornton returned back with
Stephens, our active policeman, and from circumstances
which transpired after his arrival, he was induced to sus-
pect the servant girl, about 17 years old, of being Vie in-
cendiary, and on the course of the afternoon she confessed
having committed this act, as well as that of the preceding
day. She will be examined here to-morrow before the
county magistrates, and there is every reason to hope
some chain of evidence will be disclosed as may lead to the
apprehension of the perpetrators of the other conflagration
at Gangsdowa Hill.

The professional services of Mr. George Robins are
required in the city of Dublin next month. It will be his first
appearance in that character. -

AN M.P.! I—No man, let his talents be ever so
contemptible and his station in life ever so obscure, need
despair of some day finding his way into Parliament, for little
Counsellor Darby is to represent the Eastern Division of the
county of Sussex in the next House of Commons. To this
result, two circumstances have powerfully contributed ; the in-
discreet conduct of Mr. Curteis and the coercion of the landed
aristocracy.—Brighton Gazette.

George Robins seems to be afirst favourite through-
out Devonshire. He has sold 200,0001. of property in that
favoured district very lately, and has lots more to sell this
month.

The first scientific congress of Belgium, convotzecl
at Liege by Baron Reiffemberg, has proved most satisfactory.
The members assembled to the number of 140, consisting chiefly
of the Professors of the Universities. M. de Caumont was
unanimously elected President. Upwards of 800 of the prin-
cipal inhabitants of Liege were daily present at the general
meetings, as spectators.

A most novel Exhibition is to be sold by George
RAins next week. It has recently arrived from India, and
consists of 78 Figures, the size of life, representing the va-
rious characters to be seen at Ilindostan, including their
" Images of Worship," which hitherto, from opposition by the
Brahmins, have been seen in no other country.

HOME CIR C t.O CR° rpox, Avo 8.
The Commission Assizo for this County was opened
here yesterday, after which the Learned Judges attended
divine service, and at ten o'clock this morning they pro-
ceeded to business, the Lord Chief Justice of the Cuurt of
Queen's Benth sitting at Nisi Prins, and Mr. Justice Lit-
tledale on the Crown side. The calendar is comparatively
light in the number of prisoners and the character of the
off: aces. There are but twenty prisoners for trial. The
business on the Nisi Prius side is more heavy, 52 causes
are entered, of which eight have special juries.

MIDLAND CIRCUI7I-IVAltwicir, Auo. 7.
Win. Atkins, Nathaniel Haynes, Benjamin Sinith, and
others, were placed at the bar, charged with having, on
the 25th and 26th of July last, assembled at Birmingham
in a riotous and tumultuous manner, making a great noise
and disturbance in breach of the
_Queen's peace.
The prisoners haling pleaded not guilty,
Mr. CLARKE went on to state that, during the late
contested election :at Birmingham, a most serious riot
took place before the hotel in which one of the candidates
was, the whole of the windows of the same having been
broken, and almost the entire front smashed in, and this
rioting and disturbance had continued even after the Riot
Act had been read, so that the prisoners might have
been indicted capitally. He should be able to identify all
the prisoners as having been present, and being seen tak-
ing an active part in the affray.
Mr. MILLER, for the prisoners, felt no hesitation, under
thoseeircumstances, in asking his Lordship to allow the
men at the bar to retract their former plea of not guilty,
and throw themselves upon the merciful consideration of
the Court.

. -
The prisoners then pleaded guilty, having first retracted
their former plea, and the Court ordered them to be dis-
charged on giving sureties to keep the peace. There
were several other indictments against many different indi-
viduals, who having adopted a similar line of conduct were
also bound over in recognizances to keep the peace.
Charles Newman, aged a young. man of most gen-
tlemanly eNteriur, and most respectably connected, pleaded
guilty to a charge of ernberslement, preferred against him
nn behalf of the Governor and Company of the Bank of

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday a jobbing porter, named James Wood, was
brought before the Lord Mayor, charged on suspicion of hav-
ing stolen an edition of Ilogarth's works, the property of Mr.
Solomons, of No. 194, Whitechapel-road. Mr. Solomon
occasionally employed the prisoner to carry goods to and from
customers, and had never till the last job had reason to suspect
the man's integrity. A little more than a week ago he sent
the prisoner to the house of a shopkeeper in the Poultry for
an edition of flogarth's works, which had originally cost 39
guineas, and which he had left in the Poultry for sale. The
prisoner received the book, but never returned with it, and at
last the fellow was found, after a considerable time spent,
evidently in drunkenness, without the works, and without his
knot, and the excuse he made was that having been seized
with a violent fit of intoxication he %vent from public-house to
public-house until he was stretched in a helpless state in the
neighbourhood of Shoreditch.
The LORD MAYOR (to the prisoner) =Have you no recollec-
tion where you last had the book ? Prisoner—The place in
which I last recollect having seen it was Fetter-lane, in a pub-
lic-house. I don't suppose I went into any other sort of house
except a pawnbroker's.
The Loan MAYOR—And what took you to the pawnbroker's?
Prisoner—The fact is, as I was going along with the book, 1
called in to have a glass, and that brought in another and

then as I began to feel I was going, I thought it would be
better to take care of the book, so I stepped into a pawnbro-
ker's in Gray's inn-lane, and left it there for a shilling. So
when I came out of the pawnbroker's, I-went into another
public-house, and drank off the shilling ; and then, as the
devil was in me, I went into the pawnbroker's again, and got
another shilling 'upon it, and nothing would do me but I must
drink that too.

The Loan M Avon—Why, what a drunken beast you must be.
Prisoner—Your Lordship couldn't get a beast to do as I
did. Well, I had a job to .do next day, to carry some chairs
for Mr. SolOrnons ; so I took the chairs to the pawnbroker's,
and left them there, and took away the book, because I was
determined to take it home ; but the Devil comes up to me
again, and in I must walk to another public-house, where I
had a drop of something, and that set me going again.
The LORD MAYOR— What l after all this intoxication ?
Prisoner—And no mistake. When I came out, I was walking
steadily down Gray's Inn-lane, when who should I meet, a
few doors off, but the Devil again ; and in I walked, sure
enough, into another public-house. —Remanded.

ADMIRALTY COURT, FRB. 6.

TILE NA NC Y —COLLISION.
This was a suit promoted by the owners of the British
schooner the.EkanorOgainst the owners of a French ship, the
Nancy, for darnwes sustained on the 15th of October last, a
few miles off the Eddystone Light-house. The Court was as-
sisted by two of the Trinity-house Masters, the points in dispute
being chiefly as to the nautical skill of the captains and crews
of both ships. The Nancy of 513 tons, was on a whaling
voyage to the South Seas, and the Eleanor, of 117 tons, was
proceeding to Penzance, for a cargo of pilchards. The acci-
dent took place about eight o'clock in the evening, and the
vessels had reached within a cable's length of each other before
they discovered their situation.. The main facts in the case,
relative to the state of the weather, &e., were not disputed, and
the question was, whether the Nancy, by not keeping her
course, according to the rule of navigation, when one vessel
was on the larboard and the other on the starboard tack, had
caused the collision.

Sir JOHN Nicitor. having referred to the facts of the case,
and conferred with the Trinity House Masters, who were of
opinion that the collision could not have been prevented, owing
to the darkness of the night, said the collision was an unfortu.
nate occurrence, and that the Court therefore directed their
owners to pay their own costs.

CHURCH RATES.

Mr. ORD presented a petition from Newcastle, praying
for the abolition of Church-rates.

Mr. WILKS presented petitions to the same effect from
places in Cheshire and Buckinghamshire.
Several other Members presented petitions to the same
effect.

Mr. BAINES presented a petition from the town of
Leeds agreed to at a general meeting of the inhabitants
at which the Mayor presided. The petitioners complained
that the system operated prejudicially as regarded both the
Church and the Dissenters, and had been a great cause of
discord in many parts of England. No modification would
satisfy the petitioners—they required their entire abolition.
The Hon. Member presented petitions from 011erton, Bing-
ley, Rawdon, and two other places, to the same effect.
Sir JOHN BECKETT would merely observe, in re-
ference to the petition from Leeds, lest his silence might
be construed into an assent to their prayer, that there were
a very large number of persons in that town who were ex-
tremely auxious to support the Established Church.
Mr. P. M. STEWART presented a petition from Lan-
caster, and another from a congregation at Manchester,
praying for the entire abolition of Church-rates. Though
he was himself a member of the Church, he considered the
present system of Church-rates impolitic and unneces-
sary.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. TOOKE presented a petition, very numerously
signed, from Truro—signed, lie begged to state, by several
members of the Established Church—praying for the total
abolition of Church-rates; and likewise praying that any
substitute for Church-rates might not be derived from any
other source of the public revenue.
Mr. PEASE presented a petition to the same effect from
Darling:jou.

praying for the repeal of the duty on that article. He
thought that the repeal of the duty would greatly promote
the health of the poorer classes.

their meeting practicable and efficient, for the great pun
poses for which they were recognized by the law of the law'

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

CURRIE V. TYSEIt.
This case came before the Court upon demurrer. The
bill was filed by Messrs. Currie and Woodgate, solicitors,
for the purpose of establishing a lien in certain funds,
standing to the credit of the cause, and which bad been
ordered to be paid to Mrs. Tyser, formerly their client.
The allegation in the bill was that, from time to time,
during the pendency of the suit, they had made advances
to Mrs. Tyser, a married womnn, which she had agreed
to pay them out of the monies to be recovered in the cause.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, the parties demurring, had also been made
defendants to the present bill, and also claimed a lien on the
same property. The demurrer was-put is on two grounds ;
first, that the bill contained no statement which, according to
the principles on which the Court acted, would entitle the
plaintiffs to the lien they claimed ; and, secondly, that Mrs.
Dunn might .be an important witness to Mr. and Mrs. Tyser,
were she not a party to the record.
The MASTF:R. of TIIE ROLLS (without calling on Mr. Gir-
dlestone, who appeared for the plaintiff,) said that whether the
verbll agreement made between the plaintiffs and Mrs. Tyser
could legally affectian unascertained fund, the subject of a suit,
was a matter for serious consideration, and might place the
plaintiffs in considerable difficulty in establishing their de-
mand, but on the present occasion he had ,to decide upon the
demurrer of Mr. Dunn and his wife, and not upon the de-
murrer of Mr. and Mrs. Tyser. They admitted upon their
demurrer that they claimed themselves a lien on the fund ;
and his Lordship therefore thought the demurrer must be
overruled.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SOUTH-SEA COMPANY.
This case was ordered to stand over in consequence of the
Solicitor-General, who appears for the relators, being engaged
to-day in a case in the Court of Exchequer.

RF.ECE V. REECE.
This case, which was heard and decided by the present Lord
Chancellor when Master of the Rolls, came on again upon a
re-hearing this morning before Lord Langdale. The ques-
tions in the cause arise upon the construction of a most com-
plicated will, which appears to have puzzled all who have
had hitherto anything to do with it. The case was proceed-
ing when we left the Court.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.

Mr. H. HINDE gave notice that in Committee on the
Municipal Corporations Bill, he would move the insertion
of a clause for the purpose of supporting hospitals for wi-
dows and orphans. _ _

Mr. 'MORRISON presented a petition from Ipswich,
praying for an inquiry into the operation of the Poor Law
Amendment Bill, with a view to iti further amendment. He
(Mr. M.) was of opinion, that the measure as it now
existed had been productive of good, but he had no doubt
by further amendment it might be made conducive to
much more.

Mr. WASON supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. FOX M AULE presented a petition from a place
in Perthshire, praying for the abolition of Church-rates,
and that all grants of public money, whether to Presby•
terian, Protestant, or Roman Catholic Institutions might
henceforth cease.

POST-OFFICE.

Dr. BOWRING moved for areturn of the number of

letters received from and dispatched to France up to the
last day of January, 1837, and also a similar return of
the amount of postages inwards and outwards since
the late regulations between the post-offices of the two
countries. His object was to show that a reduction
in the charge for postage was generally useful to
the revenue ; and if no other. lon. Member took up the
subject, it was his intention to move for a reduction in the
present rates throughout the kingdom, inasmuch as it would
prove beneficial to the Treasury, and conduciVe to the
interests of the public.

STATE OF IRELAND.

Mr. BRADSHAW moved for a return of the procla.
mations issued by the authority of the Lord Lieutenant ni
Ireland, for the apprehension of persons concerned in mur•
ders, fire raising, forcible entry of houses, and other out•
rages, during the six months ending the 31st January, 1837,
with the rewards offered thereon.

Mr. HUME moved for a similar return in the last
Session of Parliament, to which he would take leave to re-
fer the Hon. Member, as it might save him the trouble of
making the present motion. If these insulated returns
were made they never would be able to judge of the state
of the country ; and he would therefore suggest that the
Hon. Member would postpone his motion.

. .
Mr. H. G RATTA N said the object of the Hon. Mem-
ber was quite clear. He was not aware that such a motion
bad been made before, as the return of last Session was a
totally different one. He must say, that a speech made at the
Glasgow dinner contained- the falsest statements concerning-
Ireland. There never were more erroneous or more un-
founded statements put forward, and he only regretted
that the Hon. Baronet was not present that he /Light set
him right upon that subject. The Honourable Gentle-
man opposite was warranted in his motion: by the extra-
ordinary proceedings which had taken place in Dublin, and
when the foulest and most malignant libels were uttered
against his Majesty's Government in the Mansion-house of
that city, in an assembly of such a character *at the Lord
Mayor did not think proper to attend, and refused to pre-
side at the meeting. For bis own part, he regretted that such
statements should have been made, that such charges
should have been , uttered by a partisan body, who repre-
sented themselves to be the Protestants of Ireland. The
language used at that meeting by Noble Lords and Mem-
bers of that House was little creditable to the individuals who
had used them. The terms made use of, whether they
were advanced by Lord Charleville or by Lord Roden, he
rebutted with the utmost indi7nation. The Hon. Member
was also warranted in thinking that the state of Ireland had
been so bad, when his Majesty's Representative in that coun-
try was represented as a person going about seeking for persons
to perjure themselves. If he could believe the reports which
had appeared in the public papers, a charge had been
made against the Lord Lieutenant that be had
selected individuals for the mere purpose of perjury,
in order to create fictitious votes for the support
of Government. As one of those individuals

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Lord DENHAN and a Special Jury.)
STOCKDALE V. HANSARD,—LIBEL.
This was an action for libel brought by 1. 1. Stockdale, the
publisher, against the Meisrs. Hansard, printers to the House
of Commons, for publishing a Report of .the Inspectors of
Prisons, which was ordered by the House of Commons to be
printed, 22d March, 1836. The Report, in alluding to the
state of the gaol of Newgate, observed, " We also found se-
veral books, among them Guthrie's Grammar, the Keepsake
Annual, song books, and a work, ---, by , eighteen
plates, published by Stockdale in 1827. This last is a book
of a most disgusting nature, and the plates are obscene and
indecent in the extreme. It was very properly claimed by a
prisoner named:---." This was the passage complained of.
The damages were laid at 20,0001.
The plaintiff 'conducted his own case, and the Attorney-
General appeared for the defendants.
The publication having been proved by the plaintiff's son,
and the alleged libel read,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defen-
dants. He contended that under the plea of not guilty they
were entitled to a verdict of acquittal, inasmuch as the publi-
cation and sale was by order of the House of Commons, of
which the defendants were the authorised , printers arid ser-
vants. Upon the plea of justification also they were entitled
to a verdict, as a bare inspection of the work referred to in the
Report, would satisfy the Jury that it was most immoral and
indecent, and fully justified the terms applied to it by the In-
spector of Prisons.
The case had not terminated when our reporter left.

WOOLWICH I'ETTY SESSIONS.

On Monday list, a poor widow, with two children, ap-
plied to the Magistrates at the Castle Tavern, Woolwich.
:;he stated that her husband had been cuployed on The
Son newspaper, iu the Strand, and his name was Blake.
On the '2.341 of April, he went with a party in a boat to
Woolwich, when it was upset, and her husband was drowned.
The body was eventually taken out of the water by a lighter-
man, who carried it to a public-house, and sent to the
beadle, who searched bins, and found a watch, chain, and
seals, and a guard, and other property, and a Coroner's In.
quest held upon the body. Oa applying to the beadle for
the watch, &c., he refused to deliver it up, demanding 10s.
for expenses, which she could not pay, as she had pledged
every thing she hail to defray the expenses of her husband's
funeral. She wished to know whether she was not entitled
to claim her husband's property, and lithe claim made upon
her was a just one or not ?
Sir THaNtas lthavoN WiLsois thought it an extraordi-
nary proceeding, and said it struck him that they were not
justified in detaining the property. He enquired of Mr.
Watts, the high constable, what was the usual course on
such occasions ? Mr. Watts said that there was no law to
compel the friends to pay the expenses of a coroner's jury ;
it fell upon the parish. He knew nothing of the applicant,
but conceiving it to be a hard case upon a destitute widow
with two orphan children he introduced her to their worships,
Aupli..;ant said that the beadle claimed 3s. W. for himself.
The Magistfates consulted, and recommended her to
call upon Mr. Carttar, the coroner for Kent, at Greenwich,
and consult with him upon the subject, but it was tnentually
d,,it:tifid that the beadle should be called upon, and that the
Magistr4f.g.A clerk sh9uld see Mr. Catttar, and that she
should be mach 49tiainted with the result in a few days.
The applicant left the Ann in tears.

who were tried for mu:iny, about three years-ago, and at-

stated that the Captain had placed a loaded pistol in a bar-
rel of gunpowder in the cabin, and threatened to fire it off,
and blow up the ship, if the mutineers advanced further.
The mates were, after a long trial, acquitted, and are now
at sea in other ships.
