WORSHIP-STREIT:U.—Mr. G. Buttell, an eat-
ing-house keeper, in the, Old-street-road, St.Luke'e,
appeared before Mr, Knox to answer a claim made
by the London Fire Brigade for having extin-
guished a fire in one of ~the chimnies of his premises-
Mr. Beard attended in mil iport of the claim.
Ono of the fire brigade witoched to the station of
Whitecross-street said that on the 25th Feb. last he
was called to defendant's slu and took with him 5.
small engine, drawn and wm .ked by hail d ; that he
saw fire issuing from a chi= ey there, and a sweep
was in the kitchen raking out one of the furnaces
—that he then went to the toll of the house, found,
the soot alight in the chimney r, and extinguished
the fire by pouring two pails oi 1? water thereon.
84 G added to the above testi ulony that he per;
ceived flame from the chimney ust in the act 01
dying out; that there were a it, ereat number a
sparks ; that this continued for about half an hoar?
and that the engine was sent for.
ce contended
Defendant, in reply to this evider,
the fact Wes
~
that there had not been an actual fire;
that he had a steam boiler, and althoug,h the chitty'
ney was swept regularly once a month, spark',
would at times be emitted from it. Those vere
however so indistinct as only to be seen in elf
bright weather. There was not any danger to
apprehended from such a trivial circumstance"
which could not be avoided.
Mr. Beard put it to the court whether he bad
not proved hig claim to award on the part of the'
fire brigade.
Mr. Knox, after some questioning, observed that.
he felt some difficult.ir in. coming to a decisio*
Was it always a case for the engines villeir
fire was seen issuinj from a chimney
If so, there were numberietls instances of such

own observation, on which, to the best of his be'
lief, thee question bad not been .entertained. All
persons must know that it was covinion to observe
even flame issuing from factory. ollimnies, and it
was not to be supposed that a claim .of award could

chose to rut'.
after an engine for the sake of insuving a small

for the attendance of some skilful persons upon the

THE HENDON TRAGEDY.—At three o'clock this
4fternoon Lawrence was still improving under the careful
kttention of the medical gentlemen of Middlesex Hospital.
At the sale of the effects of Madlie. Anna Des-
lions, at Paris, the famous necklace of 600 pearls was
knocked
down for 79,500 f. The jewellery alone brought
qPwards of 300,000 f., and is estimated to have cost more
than
doable that sum.

Numerous losses have lately taken place of yes-
Gels laden with brain from New York, Montreal, and Phila-
delphia. It appears from a return made up at Lloyd's that
between the Ist of September, Iva, and the Ist of February,
18b2, 29 vessels from these ports, with cargoes of about
5410,000 bushels, have been lost, chiefly abandoned at sea,
and it is supposed that this total does not represent more
than
half of the actual number. The cause of the disasters
Ist believed to be defective stowage and consequent choking
of the Pumps.

'THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at ils., or four quantities in one for 338.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout
and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand, London.

THE DISPUTED RACE BETWEEN MAY AND

SPENCER.

This race came off this afternoon from Putney-bridge to
Barnes-bridge. May was piloted by George Drewitt and
Spencer by Doubleday. Spencer having won the choice of
stations, took the Middlesex side at about 20 minutes past
three. At half-past three the start took place, Spencer
with a slight lead. Off the Duke's Head he was half a
length ahead. From this point to nearing Craven
Cottage, May gained upon his opponent, and was nearly
half a length ahead, At the high bridge he had
increased his lead to a length and a half. In cross-
ing the water opposite the Crab Tree, Spencer put on an
extraordinary spurt, and passed May like a shot out of a
cannon, which May could have easily prevented by using
his right arm, which would have caused Spencer to foul
him, and the race would have been awarded to him.
From this point the race was virtually over, Spencer
leading from ten to 15 boats' length at Hammersmith-
bridge, and when he reached the winning-post he was 50
boats' lengths a-head.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

THE REVISED CODE.
Petitions against the Revised Code were presented by the
Earl of CARNARVON, the Marquis Of NORMANBY, and
several other peers.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Wexford Harbour Commission Bill was read a
second time.

The Ulster and Bainbridge, Lisburn, and Belfast Rail•
way Bill was read a third time and passed.

THE RIVER SHANNON.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition
from the grand jury of the county of Galway, praying for
the better regulation of the waters of the Shannon, and also
moved for a copy of the memorial upon the subject trans-
mitted to the Treasury in January last by the Lord Lieu-
tenant, and the reply of the Treasury thereto; and also for
a return showing the amount of money paid by the Shan-
non to the Board of Works in Ireland after they had made
their first report in 1850. The noble marquis said the peti-
tioners prayed that an inquiry be instituted into the allega-
tions, and as it was his intention to move the appointment
of a committee to investigate the whole subject on the first
Monday after the Easter recess, he should refrain from
making any observations at the present moment.
THE AMERICAN MAIL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for a return
of the exact time at which mails ariving from America by
the Cunard packets were delivered at Queenstown to the
Post-office agent upon each arrival during the six months
ending the 31st March of the present year, and also a
similar return for the six months ending the 31st March,
1861.
The motion was agreed to.

CHINA.

We have received our usual despatches in antici-
pation of the overland mail.
News of the death of H.R.H. the Prince Consort
had reached the north of China, and produced a
profound impression of grief among the British re-
sidents. By the same mail our merchants had re-
ceived intelligence of the Trent outrage. Shanghai,
after an interval of quiet, was again endangered.
In the Daily Shipping News of February 7 we
read :

" Now that the weather has cleared up and the
paths in the neighbourhood becoming passable, we
are likely again to be disturbed by the marauding
bands of Taiping rebels hovering on the outskirts of
the city and settlement. Yesterday at noon a small
body of the insurgents were seen on the Pootung
side of the river, nearly opposite the French cathe-
dral of Tong-ka-doo. Amongst them were several
men on horseback. They were seen attacking the
harmless inhabitants with spears in a most savage
manner. These poor people, to save themselves
from merciless slaughter, rushed towards the river,
into which many were plunged headlong, and
several of them drowned. Many of the wounded
were saved and brought across to the Catholic
cathedral, where they are well taken care of by the
benevolent padres. After this short but sanguinary
demonstration of their presence, those blood-thirsty
scoundrels disappeared from the river bank.
" Under these circumstances the authorities
should be vigilant in the foreign settlement, and our
gallant allies on the qui vzve at the gates of the city,
for it is evident that they meditate an attack before
long."
It was believed at Shanghai that the precautions
taken against attack were ample and certain. The
North China Herald says:—
So rapid have been the construction of our defen-
sive works, se excellent has been the organisation
of our military, naval, and volunteer forces, and so
obstructive has been the snowstorm to the attack of
hostile marauders, that we are now secure against
a hundred thousand armed Taiping rebels.
Almost in the centre of our limited boundaries we
have the better half of Bradshaw's battery of artil-
lery, which wo may consider as our citadel. Along
the barrier road, or inner line of defence, strong
barriers with gates have been erected a short dis-
tance up the approaches from the westward. Be-
yond this the Shak-100-road is being cut through
from the Yang-king-pang to the Soochow creek,
with an immensely strong barricade at the Maloo
approach, and smaller ones at the lanes leading
from this line. With these inner defences on land
to the westward, we have our naval forces on the
river in the shape of her Majesty's ships Centaur,
Coromandel, Bouncer, Flamer, Starling, and the
Imperieuse frigate of 51 guns and 500 men ; his
Imperial Majesty's ships Forte and Hong Kong, j
besides a Russian gunboat and steamer, for our lmei

Mr. Henry asked if that constable was in attendance ?

The sergeant said he had since that time quitted the force,
but he could have him in attendance on another occasion.
Prisoner—lt's very hard my bad character should be
brought up against me. If I did wrong some time ago I have
paid the penalty and undergone the sentence I was awarded.
You might as well deal summarily with this case, your
worship. I don't want to go to trial. I assure you I never
took the watch.

Mr. Henry—That is a question for the jury to decide.
The prosecutor says you did, and the constable knows you
to be a very bad character.

The witnesses were then bound over, and the prisoner
was fully committed for trial.

THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1862.

The Americans—the Federals, perhaps, we should
rather say, are an unaccountable people. The last
accounts all assure us that the Tax Bill they have
just passed, and which comes into operation 011 the
Ist of August, will, in regard to foreign trade, be
infinitely worse than the MORRILL Tariff. Eng-
land had the larger trade with America, and will
therefore feel the effect of the enhanced protective
duties most, bat we are told that the duties on
French produce also are such as to
With be almost, in
the
practice, prohibitory• greater part of
French articles, as being articles of taste anal
uxury,
people can dispense; and the duties now levied on
them will, it is anticipated, destroy the French
trade almost entirely, while the native Americans
have not the genius and skill to produce such things
for themselves. The produce of our manufactories,
on the other hand, is of a kind no civilised mortals
can do without; iron, cutlery, pottery-, all kinds of
dry goods, Americans must have. They cannot
make them so cheap and so good as we can ; they
must therefore punish themselves by using dear and
bad articles of their own manufacture, it being in
their power to obtain a fair revenue by moderate
duties upon our superior manufactures.
But what are we to say for a people so boastful
of their education and intelligence, if they can not
only pass such tariffs, but exult in them. Not, in-
deed, that quite all share the exultation. The mer-
chants and bankers, the men who earn their wealth,
.
n the legitimate process of conducting the trade
with foreign countries, have posted off to Washing-
ton •
with a remonstrance in their pockets, to which,
however, no one expects any attention will be paid.
The
Senate and the populace seem to be about
equally enlightened, which is not to be much
wondered at, consideringand both are so inte rg the mode of election
t as to believe that a
high tariff means foreigee,
s Paring the costs of the
American civil war.

pay for it we do, indeed, and that as Liverpool
and Havre can testify, to a fearful

unfortunately for the Americans, Our
losses from
want of cotton are no gain to them. It seems,
however, almost incredible that the Great Republio

.
Though the
evidence went to show that the pain
ful
which the child
magistrates charged with
ndition in bad been found was
c attributable to the gross carelessness and neglect
of the mother, who is a repudiated drunkard, the
magistrates decided that it was the duty of a
father to see that his wife attended to their
children, and committed him to prison for a month.
The mother was discharged with an intimation that
she would be prosecuted in case the child died, and
the child was ordered to be taken to the workhouse.
The mother returned to her husband's home, which
is situate in Cottage street, fork-road, and a day
or two afterwards was apprehended on a warrant
of commitment for using abusive language to Mrs.
Wilkinson, a neighbour, who had given impertant
evidence against her, and was sent to gaol for a
month in default of payment of a fine of 405.,
together with costs. The father, John Hallagan,
who is a pensioner and a hawker, and his wife
Julia Hallagan, have four children, of whom two,
a boy between ten and eleven years of age, and
the deceased resided at home; the other two are
confined in a reformatory. Both parents were
brought from Armley gaol, and were present dur-
ing the inquest.
Medical and ether evidence having been given,
The Coroner summed up. The jury then retired,
and, after an absence of ten minutes, returned
into court and delivered a verdict of " Man-
slaughter against Julia Hallagan," who was there-
upon committed for trial at the next York abbizeo4
