UNION-HALL.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE " DUKE OF NOR-
MANDY."—Yesterday morning, soon after 11 o'clock, Messrs.
Jeremy and Swabey, Magistrates of Union-hall, and
Messrs. Elyard and Burbage, county Magistrates, proceeded
to further investigate the circumstances respecting the late
daring attempt to murder the " Duke of Normandy?' Be-
hind the bench were several of the Magistrates' private
friends, and the body of the office was crowded with the
adherents of Charles Louis. Amongst others who at-
tended the investigation, which lasted until five o'clock,
were Lieutenant-General Leysser, Count de Plessis, Count
Thierry, Colonel Angelo, &c.
The prisoner on this occasion did not conduct himself so
flippantly as on the former examination, but still evinced a
calm indifference to what was passing in connection with the
charge. During the examination he took a quantity of snuff.
When the investigation was at length concluded, Mr.
JEREMY, after some preliminary remarks, said, we have
determined upon requiring sufficient bail ; and it will be
requisite to remand the prisoner until a future day, when
the depositions will be formally taken against him, and he
will be committed, in the event of his not being able to
give the required bail, and forty-eight hours' notice of the
same.

Mr. SwABEY said his friend Mr. Jeremy had come to a
very proper conclusion, and he should be most happy to
join him in taking bail of the prisoner, himself in 1001.
and two sureties in 501. each.
Rouselle was then removed from the dock, and he will
will be brought up again on Saturday next, when the volu-
minous depositions against him will be read over, and he will
be committed to the county gaol.
The investigation did not terminate until five o'clock,
having lasted five hours and a half.

COMMITTEES ON PRIVATE BILLS.

Mr. P. THOMSON gave notice that he would, to.
morrow, move that the names of Members upon Committees
on Private Bills should be printed, as in the case of public
Committees.

MUNICIPAL REFORM (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. GILLON seeing his Hon. Friend the Under-Secre-
tary for the Home Department in his place, begged to ask,
whether it was intended to propose any alteration of the Scotch
Municipal Reform Bill, in this Session.
Mr. F. MAULE was understood to say, that after the
recess he would introduce a Bill on the subject.
CANADA.

Mr. HUME begged to ask the Under-Secretary for the
Colonies whether it was his intention to lay upon the table
the accounts of recent proceedings in the House of Assembly
of Lower Canada, which proceedings, in his (Mr. H.'s)
opinion, must alter the whole policy of the Government re-
specting Canada.
Sir G. GREY'S answer was not heard.

COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.
Mr. H. GRATTAN begged to agk the Secretary to the
Admiralty whether it was intended to increase the means of
communication between Dublin and Liverpool? The Irish
Members had kept tho Ministers' heads above water, and it
was only fair that they should return the compliment.—
(Loud laughter and cries of " Hear, hear, hear," from the
Tory Benches.)
Mr. C, WOOD said that there were at present more ves-
sels between Liverpool and Dublin, and Holyhead and Dublin,
and of better qualities than there had been at any former pe-
riod. However, it was the intention of Government to put on
two sup!rior boats on the Liverpool station in the course of the
year.

TAMWORTH.

The Committee met at eleven o'clock, General LVGON in the Chair.
Mr. TIMSSIGER, for the petitioners, stated that he should confine his
objection to the return of Captain A'Court to the sitting Member's want
of qualification. That objection was founded on two grounds—first, that
the rent charge on the property of the late Mr. Reppington, in Warwick-
shire, which constituted the alleged qualification, was not a bona fide
rent-charge; and secondly, that if \t had been originally bona fide, it
had ceasei, upon Captain A'Court's taking possession of other property
under the wi►l of Mr. Reppington.
Mr. TIIESSIGER then proceeded to examine Mr. Radford, the soli,itor
who executed the deed for the rent-charge, as to its contents, Lut that
course of examination was objected to by Mr. Sergeant Merewether, as
a violation of the witness's professional confidence.
The Committee decided with Mr. Sergeant Merewether, and would
not allow the examination.

HOP AND SEED MARKET. •
Hops continue steady in price and demand. In no kind of seed ii
there any variation in price. Clover Seed in fair demand.

DRUG MARKET.
This market Is dull generally, and where large public sales of good°
arc advertized, great portions are bought in.

TALLOW MARKET.

Not much doing. P.Y.C. 575. on the spot, and for delivery, 475. tid.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

The general character of the market continues the same as it was.
Inactivity is its most prominent trait. British Plantation Sugar con-
tinues to sell slowly at previous rates ; and we should say that for the
last day or two the tendency to decline has been a very little checked.
To-day the public sales were neither numerous nor heavy. Coffbe,
368 bags Ceylon, a small parcel, but there was but little spirit in the
biddings ; Mauritius Sugar, 1,489 bags, and Bengal, 1,702 bags, were
put up—we do not think all was sold. Prices of these, and of
Coffee, where altered, are rather easier. Saltpetre, 3,400 bags
sold in part, but not with much spirit. Prices, where altered, were, we
should say, lower. Spices, Ginger, and Pepper rather flat. Rice, 2,280
bags put up to sale, and where any variation i❑ prices occurred, they
were not higher.

These were our chief sales to-day in Colonial produce. Throughout
the week the business done has not been extensive by any means.
The Imports continue rather light. For to-morrow we have public
sales of Wool.

When we went to press, not above 500 hints. of B. P. Sugar had been
sold during the week.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIR CUI T. ---LEICKSTE WEDNESDAY.
CASE OE LIIIRL.--LICIIARDS V. WILKINSON.
Mr. BALOUT stated the case. The plaintiff complained of
one of the most foul, most malicious, and most malignant
libels that ever flowed from the pen of the worst-hearted man
that ever breathed. The plaintiff was a gentleman of the
name of Richards, who had been long resident in the town,
and was now between seventy and eighty years of age, and
who had been elected to the Zee of Alderman of Leicester
within the last two or throe years. The defendant was pub-,
Esher of the Leicester _Herald newspanc,. Mr. Richards, he
should tell them, was a gentleman Of Liberal principles—
,he was of the Whig party, lie would road to them the libel
complained of; it was hardly necessary he should do
more. The Learned Counsel then read the paragraph
complained of as libellous. It was as follows :—" For
the last few weeks tho Leicester Journal and Chro-
nicle have been very busy : the former in exposing an
electioneering trick practised by Mr. Alderman Richards, and
the latter in defending the conduct of as old and as wicked a
sinner as ever walked the streets of Leicester. That the
whalebone alderman did make use of the language sworn to
by Withers, we have not the least doubt, but such transactions
have become of so very common of late, both by Radicals
and Tories, that if Richardl in his lifetime had been guilty of
no greater crime than what the Journal charges him with, WC
certainly, at least for one, should not have noticed it. To be
candid, we again repeat, we believe the same sort of thing
has been practised on both sides ; but when this old alderman
appeals to the public of Leicester to give him a character, we
feel indignant at the fellow's impudence, and step in as a
mouth-piece to proclaim, without fear of contradiction, that
there does not, at the present time, exist in the borough of
Leicester a greater rogue than James Richards, alderman of
the new Town-Council."
Mr. Sergeant GonntraN addressed the jury for the de-
fendant. His Learned Friend had begun his address with
words of great solemnity and weight ; he characterised it as
one of the most foul, most malicious, and most malignant
libels that ever flowed from the pen of the worst-hearted man
that ever breathed. He might vie with a late friend of his,
unhappily now no more—he alluded to the late Mr. Clarke,
Idiom some of the jury might remember, and who was ac-
customed to use what he called strong language. He (the
Learned Sergeant) remembered his once saying to an attor-
ney, " Sir, you are a fool, and if you go on in this way
I shall be under the necessity of using strong language."
The Learned Sergeant concluded a most humourous address,
by entreating small damages, as no injury had been proved.
Mr. Justice Llria2 DALE having summed up, the jury, after
having retired for a few minutes, returned a verdict for the
l'hintift; damages one shilling.

BRIDGE OF ATHLONE.

Sir F. TRENCH wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether he intended to adopt any measures for the
purpose of repairing the Bridge of Athlone?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—(as we
understood)—said, that the subject was now under the con-
sideration of the Commissioners for the Improvement of the
Shannon, but they had not as yet made their report.
Dr. NICHOL L, seeing by the votes of last night that
the Hon. Member for Kilkenny had postponed his Bill with
respect to County-rates from the 24th March to the 4th
April, begged to suggest to him the propriety of fur-
ther postponing it, as there was a likelihood, that
a number of Hon. Members who were interested in the sub-
ject would be then absent, and the principle of the Bill could
not be fairly discussed.
Mr. HUM E said that he had postponed the Bill from day
to day ; first at the request of one Hon. Member and then of
another ; and if he were to yield to any further postponement
there would be no chance of the Bill being brought in at all.
Ile must, therefore, decline acceding to the request of the
[lon. Member.

Dr. 1\ IC BOLL said that in that ease he begged to give
notice that when the Bill came to be dtscussed he would
move the adjournment of the debate.—(Cries of " Hear.")

HAND-LOOM NVEkVERS.
Mr. GILLON said, that as the Commission was now sit-
ting upon this subject, he would withdraw the notice which
he had given with respect to it ; but before doing so, there
were some points on which he wished an explanation from
the Right Honourable Gentleman the President of the
Board of Trade. Flo wished first to know the cause of
the delay in the appointment of the Commission. lie
understood it was only on Tuesday last that the Sub-
Commissioner was to open the et:P.missi"n, He, therefore,
wished too !ppm the- cause of the very great delay. in the
next place, only one Qommissiotier la been dispatched to
investigate the 4111ject, Now as the weaving branch was
widely diffused over the country, and as it was necessiaq the
Commissioner should visit every town in whiich band-lcom

COURT OE COMMON COUNCIL,

A Court of commonC;(_!',l7.;:l was held yesterday, for fur-
thzt considering the propositions respecting Corporate Re-
form ; but previous to proceeding with those objects, Sir M.
Wood brought up a report from the Farringden-street Im-
provement Committee, with the draft of a Bill to be intro-
duced into Parliament for effecting that measure. The report
was agreed to, and the Committee empowered to prosecute
the Bill.
The Loren MAvon laid before the Court a report from the
Deputation on their conference with Lord John Russell, on
the subject of the Police of the City.
The Court then proceeded to consider the remaining pro-
positions respecting the Reform of the Municipal Institutions
of the City.
The seventh, for the number of wards to be twenty-five
was postponed.
The thirteenth, for the Aldermen not to be justices till they
had served Sheriff; and the fifteenth, for the period of elect-
ing, aldermen to be once in seven years, were ordered to be
struck off the paper.
Tie Court agreed to a resolution that the nun.bor of Com-
mon Council should not be less than 200, in opposition to an
amendment fur reducing them to 150.
A resolution was then adopted that no person should be
elegible for or continue in the office of Common Councilman who
has been convicted of fraud by a jury, and that any Common
Councilman who shall during his tenure of office become
bankrupt or insolvent, or compound with his creditors, and
in any such case shall not pay twenty shillings in the pound,
should be thereupon rempved from his office.
A motion was made that no member of the Court be eligible
to fill the office of Under- Sheriff of the city or for the county
of Middlesex, and ultimately carried.

KERRY.

At the mcating of the Committee this day, Mr. AtiSTIN, for
the petitioner, (Mr. Mullins, Liberal), stated that upon the
examination of the poll it was found that a sufficient number
of votes could not be struck off to unseat the sitting Member ;
accordingly the petition was withdrawn, and Mr. Blennerhasset
(Tory) declared duty ulente.d.
London, England, 1838-03-23

DUBLIN.

Mr. AUSTIN then proceeded with his argument in support
of the vote, which embraced nearly the same points which he
SO ably urged yesterday.
The room was then ordered to be cleared, and on the read-
mission► of strangers, the Chairma❑ stated that the Committee
bad taken into consideration the two separate objections that
bad been urged against the vote, and had decided, Ist. that
demand was necessary to make the tax legally due and pay-
able ; and, secondly, that not more than six months' tax was
due in the case of James Ratigan.
Mr. KEATINGE then attacked the vote of Thomas Kenna,
Love-lane, householder, belonging to class No. 5. The vote
was not defended, and was accordingly struck off.
The vote of Michael Dily was objected to on the same
ground, but the objection was abandoned.
The vote of Laurence Byrne was under consideration when
the Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)

lIULL.

1 he Committee met this morning at the usual hour, when the scru-
tiny was again proceeded with The following votes were struck off
the poll of the Sitting Members, on the ground of their taring received
parochial relief :—John Westerdale and John Wright.
Thomas Ball Oliver was next objected to on the tame ground. It
appeared that the voter in this case was employed by the pariah officers
of Sutton, and paid at the rate of 16. 3d. per day. It wa, contended that
this was not such relief as was contemplated by the Act, in order to
constitute a disqualification. The Committee, after deliberating a con-
siderable time, retained the vote.
London, England, 1838-03-23

HULL.

William Boss was next objected to, but the vote was re-
lained, the identity not having been proved.
The next votes struck off were those of W. Coates and John
!ennings.
W, Shimmelly was next objected to as having received re-
lief, but his vote was retained, it appearing that his son had
Jeen paid the amount due for his father's ma'ntenance.
Thomas Friar was then struck off, having received relief.
Mr. AUSTIN applied to the Committee to be at liberty to go
ii,to another class, on the ground fiat he had no mere wit-
aesses in town. H,r, however, was prepared on other cases.
Mr. TIIESSIGER opposed the application with great vehe-

tence.
The Committee decided that the indulgence should be
;ranted, on condition that if an unfair advantage should be
taken of it, the applicants should pay the costs which might
he incurred in consequence of such delay on the other side.
The Committee then adjourned.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Menem 22.
The Rev. John Ambrose was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the
part of Mr. Henry Becke, an attorney, and supported by Mr.
Woodroffe. The insolvent, who stated himself to be in his
seventy-third year, is the Rector of Blisworth, in Northamp-
tonshire, to which he had presented a great many years ago.
It had yielded him 1,100/. a year, but was now reduced to
4001. In 1814 he was discharged under the Insolvent Debtors'
Act, and from that period, until about three years ago, he had
resided in France ; he purchased a cottage and garden for
6,000 francs, which he mortgaged, and the property had been
sold. He granted several annuities on the living, and it had
been sequestrated.
The insolvent, it appeared, was entitled to some property
in right of his wife. There was 200,0001. paid for debts, and
20,0001. remained to bo divided among three persons, but he
said that the property had not come to him " either by hook
or by crook." Lady Portmore, the widow of his wife's fathe:,--,
was connected with the property.
Mr. Commissioner limtuts ordered the insolvent to be dis-
charged. Mr. Hooke was appointed assignee.

COMPANY.

Lord DamM►N gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal against
a rate for the relief of the paor of the parish of Liverpool. The Company
had been rated in a sum of 5,4004., and had appealed against the rate. The
Court of Quarter Sessions hail confirmed the rate, subject to the opinion
of that Court upon a case stated. After referring to the various local
Acts which bore upon the subject, Lord DIiNIKAN observed, that with
respect to the sum of 1,8001. assessed upon the lands and towing paths,
the Court was of opinion that the assessment had been rightly taken.
The Court then went through the other items of assessment, and ob-
served, that on the whole they were of opinion that the assessment upon
the appellants ought to 1):3 for the sum of 3,710/. Is. only, and confirmed
the rate for that amount.

The COURT then took the peremptory paper.
CHAMBERS V. WILTON. WILTON V. CHAMBERS, &C.

This case, which has occupied some of the time of nearly every
Court in Westminster Hall for the last ten years, has been fully argued
in this Court upon two Rules, and part heard upon another.
•

This morning Sir F. POLLOCK applied for the judgment of the Court
upon the former.
Mr. Sims considered the motion as one of a most unusual cha-
racter. Since the cause was last before the Court the assignees had
bribed Mr. Chambers with a sum of 20,0001., and amongst the parties
the Trustees were to be made the sufferers. Had it been at all known
that an application of such a nature was contemplated, Sir 'Milian
Follett and other eminent Counsel would have been present to oppose it.
He hoped the Court would not lend Itself to such a transaction.
Lord DENMAN—I think the only thing the Court has to do is to look
at these papers. We cannot, at all events, proceed with the case till
after the sixth day of Term.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ,

The Judges came into Court at two o'clock, and several motions of
no interest were then made; but nothing of importance came before the
Court up to the time when our reporter left.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

HULL V. FENNELLY.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 161. for money lent•
Mr. JAMES stated the case. It appeared that the defendant applied
to the plaintiff for a loan, and the latter gave him a bill for 161. The
bill was duly honoured, but the defendant pleaded his inability to pal!
and after a long negotiation the plaintiff consented to take a cognovl'
for 10/. ; the cognovit, however, was never given, Mr. James 11°V1
contended that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the full amount.
The UNDER-SHERIFF held that the plaintiff was bound by his agree'
ment, and could only recover 101.
The jury found a verdict for that amoun t.

FURTHER PARTICULARS

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.)
(THIS DAY—TWELVE O'CLOCK).
The fire is still raging, and the greatest activity is re-
quired on the part of the firemen to keep it from getting
a-head in different parts. All avenues to the scene are
blocked up from the intrusion of the public, except to those
who have places of business in the neighbourhood. The
regulations of the Police for the protection of the engines
are most excellent. Everything presents one mass of de-
struction. The Clock-tower, which is the only part of the
building standing, presents a very dangerous appearance, the
greater part of the interior foundation of which i; burned
away. The pillars, supporting the cupola of the tower, are
half destroyed. Many of the merchants carrying on busi-
ness in the different apartments of the Exchange have lost
every thing. Many of them residing in the country, a
delicicy was entertained in breaking open their apartments,
in order to save their property. The fire is supposed to
have originated in the kitchen at Lloyd's. All business in
the City seems at a complete stand-still, and nothing is
talked about but the fire and its origin.
LLOYD'S.
We are most happy in stating that the general under-
standing is, that the whole of the books and ♦aluable docu-
ments at Lloyd's have been saved ; and a notice has just
been put up in different parts, that the business of that
establishment will be carried on at the Jerusalem
Coffee-house. In the wall of part of the ruins at
the North East end a largo iron chest can be plainly
seen which is supposed to contain some valuable docu-
ments. The ingress and egress to and from the Bank is
very difficult, not only in consequence of the regulations to
keep off the crowd, but from the vast quantity of water
that is kept flowing through the street i❑ order to supply
the engines. In every turn you take you meet some one
or other. carrying the books and papers that were saved by
placing them in St. Bartholomew's Church, to another
place of safety.

FIVE O'CLOCK.

Darkness having now set in, the firemen are as busy as
ever, because they now see plainly where their exer-
tions are most wanted. The fire rages all over the
place amongst the ruins, and the portico in Cornhill, which
before had partially escaped, is now entirely gutted. The
only part :which has the appearance of entireness in the
slightest degree is the shop of Mr. Effingham Wilson.
Mr. Alderman Copland, who has been most indefa
tigable all day, has just put on his evening dress, i❑ order
by his presence to give regularity to the proceedings of the
police and firemen. His conduct has been above all praise. It
is a curious spectacle to see the fire raging, while in many
places the icicles are hanging from the windows, and that
side of the building in Sweeting's-alley is one entire mass of
of ice. The firemen are now as they used to be, also
watertnen, as they are literally working above their ancles
in water.

While we write there is a van loaded from the
Sun Fire-office with books and papers belonging to
that Establishment, although from our observation we
should confidently say that there is no ground for any
apprehension of an extension of the calamity. It is as yet
totally impossible to say what property has been destroyed,
in fact, any attempt at an estimate now would prove per-
fectly fallacious.
We have not heard of any further accident.

COTT OF A DESTATCII FROM THE EARL OF GOSF•RD TO LORD
OLENELG, DATED CASTLE OF ST. LEWIS, QUEBEC, 15 JUNE,

1837.

My Lord,—With reference to my despatch of the 10th
inst., I have the honour to acquaint you that, for the reason
therein stated, I thought it advisable, on furth:r reflection, at
once to forward your letter to Sir Colin Campbell, with a
request that he would send to this province one of the regiments
under his command ; and I hare also, with the advice of the
Executive Council, this day issued a proclamation, of which I
enclose a copy for your Lordship's information.
[Here follows the proclamation of Lord Gosford, which
has already appeared in our columns.]

COPT OF A DESPATCH FROM LORD GLENELQ TO THE EARL OF

GOSFORD, DATED DOWNINO-STREET, JULY 22, 1837.

My Lord,—l have had the honour to receive your despatch
of the loth of June, No. 60, reporting the measures which
you had felt it your duty to adopt, in consequence of certain
proceedings which had occurred at public meeting• in Lower
Canada, called for the purpose of expressing opiniois on the
resolutions, relative to Lower Canada, lately passed by both
Houses of the Imperial Parliament.
Her Majesty commands me to convey to you her approba-
tion of the measures which you have reported, although the
Queen deeply regrets that any circumstances should have oc-
curred to render them necessary. Fully appreciating, how-
ever, the difficulty of the situation in which you are placed,
her Majesty feels assured that, with the forbearance and self-
command necessary to the safe conduct of the public affairs of
Lower Canada in the present exigency, you will combine
such decision and firmness as will effectually establish the
public confidence, if it should unhappily be necessary to re-
sort to the use of the powers with which the law has entrusted
you.

( Signed)

I hare, &c.,
GLENELG.

QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY).

This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court was opened with
the usual formalities. At two o'clock Lord Denman, and .1114tices
Littledale, Patterson, and Coleridge took their seats on the bench.
There was a very full attendance of gentlemen of the bar, but none of
those present had any motions to make.

THREE O'CLOCK.

Although all fear of any further extension of the fire may
be now safely at an end, yet large portions of the burning
ruins, consisting of immense beams of timber and rafters,
&c., may be still seen breaking out and emitting immense
volumes of smoke.

At two o'clock Mr. Alderman Humphrey and Mr. Al-
derman Copeland wereactively engaged in giving directions
to the firemen in subduing the flames, and to the police
in keeping persons who had got inside the barriers, from
venturing too near the remains of this once noble edifice.
It is worthy of remark, that the statue of Sir Thomas
Gresham, in the centre of the square, which is
surrounded by piles of hugs stones which had the
appearance of unslacked lime on which water has
been thrown, remains uninjured. The only figure now
remaining in the niches is that of Mr. Alderman Barnard.
Placards are posted in every street in the City, stating
that the Lord Mayor has ordered the Guildhall to be
thrown open for the accommodation of merchants who
attend the Exchange.

SECOND EDITION.

FOUR O'CLOCK.

The crowd which throughout the day had been immense,
has now received a great accession, in consequence of the
shutting up of public offices and merchants' counting
houses, the clerks of the latter being very naturally anxious
to see the remains of those offices in which they have trans-
acted so much business. The fire has not yet been extin-
guished, and the firemen still continue their very laborious
exertions ; still, however, as they succeeded in putting
out the flames in one spot, they burst out afresh in another.
These are, we are,happy to say, very trifling alarms, and
none of them have the slightest tendency to endanger other
premises. It may be a curious fact to be known to some
of our speculative readers, that the dial of the clock to-
wards the north (the Bank side) stands at 25 minutes past
one o'clock, while the opposite dial (or south) stands at five
minutes past two—we suppose indicating the exact time
at which the devouring element reached them respectively.
We have just heard from a gentleman who was on the
spot during the whole of the inclement night, that a poor
man lost his life from the falling of the vane at the north-
west corner of the building.
The Guildhall has now closed. It has been very spar-
ingly used by mercantile men. The greater part of the
business has been transacted in the great Coffee-houses,
which have been thrown open on the present occasion.
London, England, 1838-01-11

ONE O'CLOCK.

The neighbourhood of the late Royal Exchange has been
most crowded during the whole morning, both with most
anxious sufferers and vast crowds of idlers, who come to
hear the speculations which are afloat respecting the origin
of what every one must acknowledge to be an awful ca-
lamity, for the arrangements made by the Lord Mayor,
and other City Magistrates, effectually prevent any in-
terruption being offered to the firemen, who are still work-
ing in the most praiseworthy manner. We are very sorry
to say that the tradesmen around the Exchange have lost
nearly every thing. The public Companies who had offices
in the buildings, must also be great sufferers, but much
of their property, consisting of documents, which are
usually kept in fire-proof safes, will still be saved. We
saw ten of these safes carried from the ruins into the Bank,
where there is an extra number of the guards on duty. One
of these was of immense size, and was confidently reported
to belong to Lloyd. It was not found till half-past 12.
We have as yet (one o'clock) been unable to learn as to
the truth of the report. The Committee are now sitting
at the Jerusalem Coffee House. Their determination as
to their future proceedings, has not yet transpired. The
engines are still playing upon the ruins. The whole
area of the Exchange is filled with ruins which occasionally
break out, but are immediately put out.
The following is a list of a small portion only of the
sufferers by the conflagration at the Royal Exchange :

UNION-HALL,

Thomas Blankiron,a T4ie;Semooger, of Star-corner, Bei.-
mond.,:ey, was charged with a violent assault on his wife, and
with setting fire to a large quantity of wearing apparel be.
longing to her.
A police sergeant hearing calls of murder from the defend-
ant's house, entered it, and found him in the hands of some
friends, who were holding him to restrain him from attacking
his wife, whom be had been cruelly ill-using. The wife per-
suaded the officer to leave the premises, stating the excite-
ment would soon be over ; but he hid scarcely got to the other
side of the street when he saw a great blaze in the first floor,
and on again entering the house he found the prisoner bad
kindled a fire in the middle of the floor with his wife's &ems,
and he took him into custody and conveyed him to the
Station-house.
Mrs. Blankiron said that her husband was intoxicated, and
bad beaten her, and triad to cut off her pockets because she
refused him money to get more drink.
In his defence the defendant pleaded intoxication, and his
wife interceded with the Bench most earnestly in his behalf.
The Magistrates ordered him to find bail to answer the
charge at the Sessions.

LAMBETH-STREET.

George Chapel, W1;o stands committed with the Fletchers
on several charges of robbery to a large amount at the St. Ka-
thdrine's Steam-packet Wharf, was placed at the bar charg, d
with being a principal member of a gang of swindlers, who
have lately taken shops at Uxbridge and at Woolwich, where
they succeed .d in defrauding various tradesmen and manufac-
turers of goods to a considerable amount.
Lee, the officer, stated that the prisoner was connected with
two men now in custody, named Henry Thompson and John
Davis, alias Timmins, and that the prisoner himself had been
ordering goods at several places giving the name of Tim-
mins, two persons being then present to whom he bad given
that name.
A hat-silk manufacturer, in Pearl-street, Finsbury, proved
that the prisoner obtained three pounds' worth of hat-silk as a
sample to show to a friend, and which he would return with
an order for a large quantity if it were approved of. He gave
his name '• Timmins." _ _ .

Mr. Leukin, cap-maker, of Creed-lane, City, purchased the
silk from the prisoner, and executed a large order for caps,
which he desired to be sent to Mr. John Davis, Woolwich.
He was never paid by the prisoner.
Messrs. Fosters, of Wig more-street, Cavendish-square,
supplied 301. of feathers and artificial flowers to Chapel's
order, but never received penny from him. Part of this
property was in the hands of the Uxbridge constables. Per-
sons from many other hOuses, which had been extensively
plundered by the prisoner, were present, but the Magistrate
did not think it necessary to go into the charges, as the
prisoner was fully committed for trial on several more serious
charges.
Mr. COMBS refused permission to the Uxbridge constable
to take the prisoner to that town for examination, as he could
receive a copy of the depositions against him.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.
The principal reason for not sending Chapel down to Ux-
bridge was his having formed a plan with those associated with
him toeff.ct an escapt, which having been overheard by a fel

low-prisoner, was communicated to the gaoler, who took steps

,
~
to frustrate their plans. Midgley, the brother-in-law of
Miers, the incendiary, and who is now admitted as an approver
in the case of the Fletchers, was asked by Chapel to take the
management of a draper's shop, as he understood well how to
make up dummies.
London, England, 1838-10-08

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

FELONY.—A female named Jane Kilinn was brought up,
charged with having, on Saturday night last, stolen a pair
of breeches from the shop door of Mr. Carman, of 38,
Holborn-lull. She was committed to liridewelf for 14 days,

ATTZMPT TO PICK POCKETS.—TwO lads, ell knownto
the police, named Ha ford and Ganniny, were brought up
by policeman Allen, who stated that between five and six
o'clock last night he observed the last-mentioned prisoner
following several gentlemen down King-street, gently rais-
ing their pockets, in order to ascertain what they corrained.
The other prisoner was close by him, covering his opera-
tions. Both the prisoners were committed for a month.

A lad named Bacon was brought up, having been ap-
prehended under suspicious circumstances, with five pairs
of braces and eight stocks in his possession. It appeared
that on Saturday the prisoner had been seen, in company
with another boy, lurking about Fleet-street, and that ar-
ticles corresponding with those found on him had been
stolen, between seven and eight o'clock that evening, from
the shop-door of Mr. Aiken, hosier, 122, Fleet-street. It
also appeared that the prisoner was discharged only on
Saturday. He was committed for two months.
London, England, 1838-10-08

(TO BE CONTINUED.)

MURDER.—On Sunday the body of a middle-
aged man, named Willams, commonly called Pontypool
Will, was found in a plantation near the Royal Oak,
Llanelly, Breconshire. A wound, apparently inflicted with
a knife, appeared on the abdomen, and there were wounds
and bruises or, other parts of the person, the lattter as if the
deceased had been violently kicked. About 4s. in money
was found in the jacket-pocket, but it is supposed that he had
a larger sum in his possession when he was deprived of life.
Suspicion having fallen upon a waggoner, named Samuel
Powell, who was seen in company vi ith the deceased on the
preceding n,ght, when they were drinking► together, he was
taken into custody, and a verdict of " wilfnl murder" having
been returned against him at the inquest, held by,T. Davies,
Esq., he has been committed to Brecon gaol to take his
trial.--Shrewsbury Chronicle.

CHARLES TENNANT, ESQ, OF ST. ROLLOX.-
The loss of Mr. Tennant will be widely and deeply felt. He
was an earnest and indefatigable promoter of economical and
educational improvement; an uncompromising friend of civil
and religious liberty. His own inborn energy of character and
clear intellect placed him among the foremost of that class,
which, by wedding science to manufactures, has at once ex-
tended their field of action, and elevated them to the rank of
a liberal profession. With ail the deep sustained power of a
comprehensive mind, to which we can sci.reely apply a feebler
name than genius, Mr. Tennant was in his disposition sigularly
mild and retiring. A constitutional nervousness—remarkable
in one of large and healthy frame—was allied with that sensi-
tiveness to the beautiful which is usually its concomitant. We
have more than once listened with delight when he, whom most
men thought engrossed it, scientific and commercial specula-
tion, began to expatiate on his youthful reminiscences of
Burns. In every resi.ect—as a domestic man and citizen—a
more pure and upright soul we have not known than his whom
society, and still more his family, have lost. This blow does
not fall alone. The loss of the accomplished energy of Dunlop
hasbeen too soon followed by that of the quiet, shrewd power
of Tennant. Oserzld, too—iefl.xible and of chivalrous into-
noty—has atemdoned public life. We look round us in vain for
