THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1836.

upon, and more frequently quoted, than those of any other
traveller of modern times ; while the crowded audiences of
thousands who have attend his lectures, delivered in the
various towns of England, Scotland, and Ireland, bear tes-
timony to the fact, that no man living has done so much as
Mr. Buckingham to communicate vivid, accurate, and de-
lightful pictures of the scenery, ruins, manners, and customs
of Eastern lands—confirming the faith of the Christian, ex-
panding the heart of the philanthropist, and enlarging the
sphere of knowledge and enjoyment to all classes.
28. If the useful career of such a man were suddenly cut
short by the hand of an assassin, who would not lament his
untimely fall, and redeem him from the tomb, if possible, to
resume his public-spirited and benevolent career ? Or who,
if restoration to life were impossible, would not contribute
to raise a statue to his memory ? Let us, then, save him
from the hand of a destroyer, as potent, though not so
sudden as the assassin—namely, the " Hope deferred, which
maketh the heart sick ;" and which, if protracted much
longer, may bring, by the mingled influences of care, anxiety,
disappointment, chagrin, and despair— an old age of want
and woe, instead of that consoling competency and cheerful
comfort, which ought to be the reward of a long and event-
ful life, passed in the profitless pursuit of objects of pure
benevolence and public good.
29. But enough has been said. It is now time that some-
thing should be done. The subscriptions of all classes are
invited ; and if the contributions be as general as the labors
of Mr. Buckingham have been, the individual sums need not
be large ; but all should contribute according to their feelings
and their means. The Treasurer named by the public meet-
ing of Mr. Buckingham's constituents,—George Naylor,
Esq., Western Bank, Sheffield—and the London Banks of
Messrs. Williams, Deacon, Labouchere, Thornton, and
Co., Birchin-lane, City ; and Messrs. Ransom and Co.,
Pall Mall East, Westminster—are appointed to receive the
subscriptions or remittances of parties desiring to contribute
to Mr. Buckingham's Annuity Fund : but it is also desir-
able that the friends of justice in every town in the king-
dom to which this statement may reach, should form a
Local Committee on the spot, collect and pay into one of
the Banks of the town, such sums as they can raise ; and,
after deducting the expenses of such printing and advertis-
ing as they may find necessary, and such charges of collec-
tion as may be incurred, remit the balance to the Treasurer
at Sheffield, or to either of the London Bankers named, as
the subscription of the town towards the Annuity proposed.
" England expects every man to do his duty."
No man can deny but that Mr. Buckingham has fear-
lessly and faithfully done his. Let us not, for the honour
of our own characters, permit it to be said, that we have
neglected to do ours.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Yesterday an aged person, of respectable appearance,
named Douglas, made the following complaint to Mr.
DYER :

On Monday last, be had made a call on a military offi-
cer of high rank, and as he was rather fatigued, owing to
the walk and his age, which was upwards of 86, he sat him-
self down on the step of a door near Regent-street, with
the intention of resting himself for a few minutes. A po-
liceman came up, ordered him in a rough manner to rise
and move on, and then gave him a push, which knocked off
his hat. He attempted to remonstrate, upon which the
policeman, as he said, actually took possession of his
hat, and carried it away with him to the station-
house. The hat was of no great value, but as
it contained papers and other things of some con-
sequence to him, he resolved to make an effort to
regain possession of it, and accordingly he proceeded to
the Vine•street station-house and 6dernanded its restora-
tion. His application was unsuccessful, and he went to
Bow-street to ask advice ; but as the transaction oc-
curred within the jurisdiction of this office he was referred
here accordingly. The old gentleman added that the po-
liceman no doubt thought he was some poor person, whose
circumstances would prevent him from going to any ex-
pense to seek redress ; but though his dress might not
be of the most stylish description be was quite able to
give his attorney 1001. or 5001., in order to obtain repa-
ration for the unjustifiable treatment he had met with.
Mr. DYER would recommend the complainant not to
enter into litigation precipitately. His advice was that he
should accompany a policeman then in the office to the sta-
tion-bouse, and again ask for the restoration of his hat.
The applicant said he would be guided by the recom-
mendation of the Bench, and then retired.

, ESQ., M.P.

see in the newspapers that it is proposed to raise a
public subscription for your benefit, and if it is begun, I shall be
happy to promote it by every means in my power. Were I rich
and a friend to the East India Company, I would gladly have
given 1,0001. rather than have felt the pain of seeing them, or
any class of men of education, act as they have done to you.
Mr. Lawson and Mr. Roebuck are fit associates for them.
Mr. Lawson's proposing before any debate, that the Bill
should be read that day six months, shows how little any sense
of justice is to be expected from him ; and Mr. Roebuck's
conduct is peculiarly striking, as he is professing liberality and
justice. He may annoy an Editor of a newspaper who man-
fully but incautiously expresses his sentiments ; but how will
he now redeem his lost credit with the public? Your twenty-
five opponents have all evinced themselves " most honourable
men." I do not subscribe my name, as lam too private an
individual for my name to have any weight ; yet I write be-
cause it may be a satisfaction to you to see how a stranger,
wholly unbiassed, views your case.
I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient Servant,

from the Mechanics' Institution against the law of pa.tents,
and a Sir-Andrew-Agnew-presentation against drinking en
the Sabbath. The Carlow election, and the conduct there
of Colonel Bruen, it will be seen, called forth some
Ch andos
3 cedingly sharp remarks. Mr. Wallace presented' a
Peono
tion exculpatory of the Gallant Colonel, signed Cb
of his Carlow tenants. The Marquis of h
moved that on the 21st of April the House be called over.

LOVE IN A BLACKING BOTTLE.

" Why are you wand'ring here, I pray ?"
An old man ask'd a maid, one day,
Said she, " Of brilliant liquid jet
A bottle I am sent to get."
" Fie, fie!" was the old man's cry;
" For Liquid Jet, no doubt, you know
To Robert Warren's you must go."
" Tell me again," the old man said,
" Why arc von Icand'ring here, fair maid 2"
Said she, I've rambled all about;
No Warren's Jet can 1 find out."
" Fie, fie!" was the old man's cry;
" There's not a maid in all the land
But knows the way to 30, Strand."
The secret beam'd from the maiden's eye
When Dick came thro"rurnstile, hard by;
(The youth her virgin heart had won) ;
His boots in Warren's splendour shone.
" Fie, fie !" was the old man's cry;
" Blacking like this, I own, is rare,
But of his pAished art beware 1"

Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,

S am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to acquaint you for the further in-
rmation of the gentlemen engaged in the Russian trade,
upon the subject of the letter addressed to you by their
Lordships' directions on the 29th of September last, that
their Lordships have received a letter from Viscount Pal-
merston, transmitting copy of dispatches from the Earl of
Durham, at St. Petersburgh, whereby it appears that the
Russian Government had instructed the Military Governor
of Archangel to direct the Tribunal of Commerce at that
port not to fail to pay due attention to all just and reason-
able representations made respecting the brack of flax and
tow, until some definitive regulations on the subject should
be established, and that the brack should be made according
to the plan settled in 1832 by the merchants of Archangel.

A TIT BlT.—The following advertisement, drawn
up by an alderman of the town of Cambridge some years
ago, is a specimen of singular felicity of expression :
" Whereas, a multiplicity of damages is frequently occurred
by damages of outrageous accidents by fire, we, whose names
are hereunto underwritten, have thought proper that the
necessity of an engine ought, by us, for the better prevent-
ing of which, by the accidents of Almighty God, may unto
us happen, to make a rate to gather benevolence for better
propagating such instruments." The alderman was fond of
writing, and accompanied every message and every present
with a bit of epistolary elegance. The following, in parti-
cular, accompanied the present of a hare to a gentleman
Sir—have sent you a small present, who humbly hope may
prove worthy of acceptance, which is an hare, who is your
humble servant."

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).
CORN EXCHANGE.

The boisterous state of the weather has occasioned the sup-
plies of English Grain to be small. Of Irish Oats there has
been a good quantity ; and of Flour the return is inconsider-
able. Wheat supports the terms of Monday ; but very little
business has been transacted to-day. Barley has met a very
heavy sale, and is full ls. per quarter cheaper. Beans and
Peas are unaltered. The demand for Oats has been mode-
rate, at the rates of Monday. In Flour no variation.

CORON

;UEST

APPALLING ACCIDENT.—Last night an inquest was held
at the Grapes, Upper Thames-street, before Mr. Payne,
City Coroner and a respectable jury on view of the body
of Thomas East, a fine youth, 14 years old, who was
killed by the machinery at the flock manufactory of Messrs.
Blythe, Hammond, Hughes, and Co., of No. 47, Upper-
Thames-street.
The body of the deceased presented a most dreadful
spectacle, the skull being literally severed in two, and the
body much mutilated.
It appeared from the evidence that the lad was at work
at the carding machine, when his leg became entangled in
the straps, and he was drawn up between the rollers, which
cut his head in two, causing instantaneous death, and se-
verely mutilated various parts of his body.
Mr. Blythe, one of the firm, as also the foreman, were
present, and fully explained the nature of the machinery,
and satisfactorily proved to the minds of the Jury that the
unhappy catastrophe was the result of accident, and that no
blame was attached to any party.—Verdict—" Accidental
Death."

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the RoLLs was occupied the greater
part of the morning with consent petitions. After they
were disposed of the arguments were resumed in the part-
heard case of Neale v. Neale.
Mr. PEMBERTON appeared for the defendent, Joseph
Neale.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and

a Common Jury.)
MORTON V. BURN AND ANOTHER.

Mr. CRESSWELL stated the case. It was an action
brought by Andrew Morton against John J. Burn, a soli-
citor, and Frederick Vaux, to recover a sum of 1531.,
balance due upon a bond of 728/. executed by the de-
fendants, and assigned to the plaintiff in October, 1833.
The conditions of bond were that the sum of 228/.

should be paid on the Ist of November, or in defau
that the defendants should execute a warrant of attorney—

the remaining 5001. to be paid in quarterly instalments of
501. each. A sum of 1531. remained due, and the pre-
sent action was brought to recover that balance.
The plaintiff's attorney proved the execution of the
bond—the warrant of attorney, and other documents,
which were put in and read.
Counsel for the defendant submitted that the plaintiff
must bo nonsuited ; first, on the ground that judgment
having been entered upon the bond, the plaintiff could not
now bring his action and seek to recover under any other
consideration, and secondly, that the plaintiff had not
proved any consideration.
The Learned JUDGE overruled the objection, and the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1531.

IN THE MATTER OF THE EARL OF KINGSTON, A LUNATIC.

This was the petition of the Committee of the lunatic,
praying that a reference might be directed to the Master,
to inquire whether a proper agreement for a lease should
be made ; and also that the Committee should be at liberty,
from time to time, to submit any future proposals for let-
ting the house to the Master, and that he should be al-
lowed to act without coming into Court. The ground of
the application was, that th only property the lunatic pos-
sessed in this country was the house in question, which was
situated at Westminster, and let for 5001. a year. Great
difficulty had taken place in letting it, and the Committee
had been obliged, from time to time, to make leases of the
property that had been attended with great expenses, to
save which was the object of the present petition.
His LORDSHIP made the order, as prayed.
The Court then proceeded with the part-heard case of
Bacon v. Clarke.

THE PRESENT CONDITION OF SPAIN AND DON

THE COURT and CAMP of CARLOS.
By MICHAEL BURKE HONAN, Esq.
Extract from Debate on Spanish Affairs in the House of Com-
mons, August 5.—" A gentleman (Mr. Burke Honan) was seized
in the dead of the night, carried off to the frontier, not knowing
whether he was to be murdered or not, without any steps being
taken by our Ambassador to prevent it. This gentleman had lately
published a work on the subject of the civil war, containing most
valuable information. Perhaps he had spDken too disparagingly of
the then Government in the streets of Madrid. 'Was it for that
he had been treated in so disgraceful a manner—was it for that
the British Government had not come forward to procure him
redress ?"

THE BRISTOL ADVOCATE,
A New Weekly Journal of Trade, Agriculture, Politics,
Literature, Science, and Public Intelligence, for Bristol, the West
of England, and South Wales, will appear SATURDAY, September
the 17th instant, Price Fourpence.
The extensive support guaranteed to this Paper renders it a most
desirable medium to Advertisers.

The politics of the Bristol Advocate will be Liberal, without
being violent. In principles it will be firmly and consistently the
" Advocate" of the public good; but in supporting those principles,
that violence of manner and personal vindictiveness, which noto-
riously disgraces a portion of the Public Press. will be uniformly
avoided. The Paper is not pledged to the " thick and thin" support
of any Government or of any party : but, in seeking a wider ground
of support, it stands pledged ever to assist the constitutional rights
of the people—to contend, step by step, for every practicable con-
cession of those rights, and to seek each such concession, in the only
way in which it can be permanently secured to the recipients,
through the legitimate and peaceful operation of public opinion.
Office, 12, Broad-street, Bristol; where Subscribers Names and
Advertisements are received, and the Paper regularly filed by the
following Agents in London ; Messrs. Wesley and Co., 162, Picca-
dilly; Messrs. Barker, Fleet-street; and Mr. Reynell, Chancery-
lane.

TEAM NAVIGATION.--In consequence of
1._.7 the perfect operation of the engines aboard the Hercules
Steam Packet, of 180 horse power, and of those of the other
vessels belonging to the St. George Steam-packet Company, which
have had Mr. SAMUEL HALL'S PATENT IMPROVE-
MENTS applied to them, the following vessels are at this time
building, and the engines making for them upon his patent
principles :
For the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty :—A vessel to be
called the Mwgara, building at his Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness,
for which engines of 140 horse power are making.
For the St. George Steam-packet Company : —l. A vessel, to
be called the Lion, building by Messrs. Gibson and Co., of Hull ;
the engines of 300 horse power, making by Mr. Edward Bury, of
Liverpool. 2. A vessel, building by Mrs. Robert Russell and
Sons, North Birkenhead, Liverpool ; the engines of 250 horse
power, making by Messrs. George Forester and Co., Liverpool.
3. The Ocean, built by Messrs. J. and T. Wilson, of Liverpool ;
the engines of 250 horse power, making by Messrs. Scott, Sinclair,
and Co., Greenock. 4. The Juno, built by Messrs. Duncan and
Co., Greenock ; the engines of 250 horse power, making by Messrs.
Caird and Co., of Greenock. 5. The Sirius, built by Messrs.
Menzies, of Leith ; the engines of 300 horse power, making by
Messrs. Wingate and Co., of Glasgow. 6. A vessel, building by
Mr. Adamson, of Dundee ; the engines of 250 horse power, making
by Mr. Peter Borrie, of Dundee.
For the Waterford Commercial Steam Packet Company : A
vessel building at Waterford ; the engines of 300-horse power,
making by Mr. Robert Napier, of Glasgow.
The Hercules sails from London to Cork on Saturday next, the
17th instant (touching at Plymouth), when Mr. Hall requests the
inspection of the engines. Although they have been in operation
at sea between seven and eight months, the boilers have never had
the least deposit of salt or scale, and are as clean as the day they
were set to work, which is owing to the circumstance that the en-
trance of salt or dirty water into the boilers is entirely avoided in
engines with Mr. Hall's improvements, although the vessels navi-
gate the most saline sea water or muddy rivers.
For steam-navigation across the Atlantic to India, and for other
long voyages, these improved engines are indispensable, for the
great difficulties with the boilers are removed, as they may be kept
in uninterrupted operation for months.
For the navigation of the Mediterranean and other seas which
contain a more than ordinary proportion of saline matter in solution
these engines are equally important.
Besides the above, many collateral and important advantages are
obtained which require a longer explanation than can be here
given ; but drawings of the engines, with more ample information
and testimonials, may be had on application to the Patentee, 147,
Strand, London ; or Basford, near NottinghaNn.
