neighbours and friends of Baldwin who were ex-
ceedingly anxious to punish Arnold, and they
brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The affi-.
davit of Arnold stated that the death was entirely
the result of accident, and that the applicant was
too poor to be brought up, and therefore ho trusted the
Court would permit him to be admitted to bail before a
Magistrate in the country.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take the certiorari, and the
rule to show cause for the bail. Application granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE SHERIFF OF WARWICKSHIRE.—

MANDAMUS.
Mr. WHATELY, on behalf of the Birmingham and Glou-
cester Railway Company, moved for a rule for a man-
damus to the Sheriff of Warwickshire, directing him to
review his notices of the costs in the cause of Parkes
v. the BirMingham and Gloucester Railway Company.
Under the powers of the Railway Act, the Sheriff had
been called up to summon a Jury to assess the com-
pensation due to 31r. Parkes, for land taken
from him, and for injury done to his property
by the Railway Company. The Jury gave him a verdict
of 201. as the value of the land, and 5001. for the damage
done. Now, by the Act of Parliament, in such cases costs
could only be allowed for the summoning the Jury, for
the xpenses of witnesses, and for the bond for the secu-
rity of payment ; but in taxing the costs in this case the
Under-Sheriff had allowed the plaintiff costs which he
was not authorised to do by law, such as for attend-
ances, instructions, &c. This had been objected to at
the time, and the Under-Sheriff had subsequently been
applied to,- but had refused to review his taxation unless
the Court should be of opinion that he ought to do so.
Under these circumstances the application was made.
Mr. Justice PATTrfsoN—Take your rule.—Applica-
tion granted.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAIL)
An application was made this morning to Mr. HALL,
the sitting Alagistrate, requesting that he would. issue
his warrant orliering the prisoners Kennot and the
brothers Paccard, charged on suspicion with adminis-
tering deleterious drugs to Michael Kennot, on the
morning of Saturday last, to be removed from prison,
that they might be enabled to be present at the 4djourried
inquest to be held at the 'Grapes public-houSe. The
application was made in consequence of a wish expressed
by the Jury that the parties should not be criininated
in their absence •
The Magistrate said that he had no power whatever
to interfere in the matter; he could give no order either
one way or the other. The Coroner might issue his
warrant requesting the gaoler to allow the parties to be
removed from prison for the occasion, but that was an
arrangement in which a Magistrate could not interfere.

ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL..
(THIS DAY.)
A Special General Meeting of the members of this
corporation was held this day at the Rooms of the Hor-
ticultural Society, 21, Regent-street, for the purpose of
electing a President in the room of Admiral the Right
Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., M.P., resigned.
The meeting was attended by a considerable number of
military and naval officers, and others connected with
the Institution, amongst whom were Sir W. H. Gage,
and Sir George Seymour, Lords of the Admiralty.
Admirals Young, Griffiths, Sir R. Dobson ; Captains
Sweeny, Forbes, Dickson, Currie, Evans, Fead, Holt,
J. B. Smith, Sackett, Hope, and Lambert ; Doctors
Domville, Tweedale, Vitcb, Mitchell; Lieuts. Henderson,
Saunders, and Gardiner; Messrs. Morris, JessoT, Le
Geyt, Marks, &c.
Sir G. SEYMOUR took the chair, and called on the
Secretary,
Mr. HOPE, to read a letter from Sir George Cockburn,
tendering his resignation, in consequence of his appoint-
ment as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, whereby he
would be prevented from giving the requisite attention
to the duties of the office of President of the Society.
In conclusion, he begged to assure. the Society that his
best services were ever at their command.
The Secretary then read the advertisement calling the
meeting together.
Admiral G RIFFITHS proposed the first resolution, "that
the letter just received from Admiral the Right Hon.
Sir George Cockburn,.tendering his resignation as Presi-
dent of the Royal Naval School, in consequence of his
appointment as a Lord of the Admiralty putting it out
of his power to give the requisite attention to the duties
of that office, this meeting, in accepting the resignation
of Sir George Cockburn, unanimously record their high
sense of the advantages which have accrued to the insti-
tution from his occupying the important office
of President, which he kindly consented to
accept at the unanimous request of the supporters of
the institution, assembled in May 1840; and this meet-
ing is desirous of expressing its heart-felt thanks to him
for the deep interest he has taken in the institution ever
since its commencement, but more especially for his
active exertions during his able Presidency, and they
beg to tender to him their sincere acknowledgments for
the kind and courteous manner in which he has tendered
his resignation, as well as for his liberal offer of future
assistance and support, which entitles him to their
gratitude."
The resolution being seconded without comment, was
then put, and carried unanimously.
Vice-Admiral Sir WA GAGE proposed the next reso-

lotion, which was seconded by Rear-Admiral GRIFFITHS,
" that Vice-Admiral Sir Chas. Ogle be elected President
of the Royal Naval School, in the room of Admiral the
Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., resigned."
Captain Dicxsort spoke to the resolution, and eulo-
gised the character of Sir Charles Ogle. His (Sir C.
Ogle's) exertions had been very great in the cause of the
institution, and he would give them one fact in proof of

t. When Sir Charles was at Brighton, a meeting of

the Society was held, and he at considerable inconve-
nience came up to London to attend it.—(Cheers.) He
merely mentioned the fact in proof of the fitness of Sir
Charles Ogle for the office of President of the Royal
Naval School.—(Hear, hear.)
The resolution was put, and carried unanimously.
Captain FEAD proposed, and Captain LAMBERT se-
conded a resolution conveying the thanks of the meeting
to the Horticultural SOciety for their kindness in grant-
ing the gratuitous use of the room for the purpose of
that meeting.—This resolution was carried.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the late Trustees,
Sir Geo. Martin, Sir Charles Ogle, and Sir Henry Dighy.
The CHAIRMAN said that as that was but a mere
routine meeting there was no further business before it.
He could say with truth that this was a most auspicious
day in all respects.—(Hear, hear.)
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the
Chairman, and the meeting adjourned.'

THE TOWER OF LONDON.
The distinguished office which his Grace the Duke of
Wellington now holds as Constable of the Tower, is of
very ancient date, as the London historian, Stow, says—
" In 1245 Sir John de Giser was Mayor of London, and
in 1311 Sir John de Giser, Knight, and Constable of the
Tower of London, resided at the mansion of Giser's
Hall, now corruptly called Gerard's Hall, in Basing-lane.
The same historian also speaks of a high-roofed hall.
The crypt in which this high. roofed hall stood still re-
mains, in beautiful order, and is to be seen. It is 48 feet
in length, and 20 in breadth, and is equally divided into
two aisles by six central round columns; these terminate
above in groined arches of the early pointed order, and
which spring from the same number of similar columns.
The fine proportion of the vault itself—in short, the effect
of. the whole, resembles that of the crypt of some fine
Gothic church.

With reference to her Majesty's accouchement
the following anticipatory paragraph appeared in the
Observer three weeks since :—" Her Majesty's recent
slight indisposition was in no way connected with the
important event in which the nation is so deeply inter-
ested. Her loyal subjects will rejoice to hear that she is
in the enjoyment of perfect health. It is probable that
the event to which all are looking forward with such in-
tense anxiety, will not take place until the first, or pos-
sibly the second, week of November."— The Observer,
Oct. 17.

packet, the Giraffe, B. Stranack, from Rotteream, arrived
off the Custom-House' on Sunday; with the Dutch mail.

WOODCOCKS.—During the last ten days wood.
cocks have been unusually numerous in Cumberland
One gentleman shot 26 in the neighbourhood of Work-
ington on Thursday week, and another gentleman shoe_
lq brace on the same day, near Bootle, and on the fol-
lowing day 41 brace. The birds were all remarkably
fine, and in the highest state of perfection, weighing,
upon an average, upwards of 13 ounces each. After
this account of the slaughter of these once rare birds,
the shooting of a solitary one must cease to be a subject
of interest in this part of the country.
