middle to the lower deck ?—it was the double ladder,
I think ; but lam not positive. To the best of my be-
lief it was.
Did not Henty show you the resin in the box ?
Henty took off the top of the box. Whether I re-
moved anything in the box before I saw the resin I am
not certain ; but it was at the top of the box. Henty
also asked me if he should turn it out, and he did so.
He turned the box topsytutvy, and threw its contents
I on the floor.
I Was not the resin at first concealed by a hank of
brass wire ?—I recollect seeing some wire at the top of
the box, but I am not positive whether the resin was
concealed or not.
The President inquired for the production of the
lucifer matches. They were examined by the Court,
and compared with some purchased in the town by Capt.
Webb's steward. They appeared very similar.
The President—Was the part of the locker the most
burnt that nearest the bulkhead, or that farthest from
it ?—I did not notice that one part was burnt more
than the other. The bottom and the sides were burnt
in nearly the sem: degree.
By the Deputy Judge-Advocate—What was the
character of the marks you did sec on the bulkhead
eb.)ve the ladder ?—Ooe appeared as if it had been done
by a candle being held up against it for a short time, and
had smoked it. At least a candle would produce such
a mark. The other was a black mark, dirty, and but
trifling.
Mr. Miller, the storekeeper recalled, and examined
by the President—l accompanied the last witness and
the prisoner to the Camperdown. We went to the
Admiral's cabin, and proceeded down to the lower
dark. (A plan of the Camperdown was submitted to
him, and he said that they went down a single and not
a double ladder, as described by the last witness. He
was directed by the Court to visit the ship, and prepare
himself to give proper evidence to-morrow, to which day
the Court adjourned.)
The prisoner's deportment was marked by his usual
firmness, or rather, I ehould say, nonchalance.
The Waterloo, 120 guns, was to-day towed down the
Medway by the Salamander, into the basin, to be fitted
or active service.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX

MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday a more numerous meeting of the Magis-
tracy took place at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-
peen, than has been held for some time past. The
list of county business was extremely heavy, and occu-
pied the Court the entire day.
Upon the reading of the report of the Committee fir
Accounts and General Purposes,
Mr. LAURIE said he wished to draw the attention of
the Court to a great discrepancy between the Coroners'
accounts. Mr. Wakley charged the sum of 741. Bs. 6d.
for expenses, &c., upon 107 inquisitions, befog at the
rate of about 13,. 11(1. each ; while Mr. Biker's ex-
penses amounted to 12!1. 14s. 6d. on 88 inquests—a
discrepancy of nearly 100 per cent.
After some discussion, the accounts were ordered to
be paid.

son, Clorkenwell, stated the numbers confined therein
to be 133, viz.: males, 81 ; females, .52.
At three o'clock a county rate of three farthings in
the pound was made.

BRAZIL.

FALMOUTH, OCT. 28.—8 y the brig Racehorse, C Apt.
Pun Chard, arrived riff this p9rt this morning from Rio
Janeiro, we have received the following intelligence :
" The Chamber of Doputies have come to an
im-
portant decision to-day (29th of August), a vote hav-
ing passed authorising the Government to supply the
Treasury deficit to the extent of 1,200,0001. sterling
by loan, in the manner which the Government may
deem most advantageous to the State. This measure
will no doubt be effected by the sale of a small amount
of stock in the Brazils, and the remainder offered for
negotiations in London. To supply immediate wants,
it is supposed the Treasury will issue bills bearing in-
terest as before. The Legislature seemed to deprecate
the issue of more paper money. The exchange infirm
at $3O to $3Ol. Some sales of stock were effected
previotuily to the passing of the vote above mentioned
at 721 and 724.
" The diplomatic agents have had formal notice that
the Emperor will be crowned on the Ist of May, next
year.

" A genral amnesty taving been pub!isbcd, it re-
mains to be seen whether it will not effect the imme-
diate paeirication of the province of Rio Grande."
The Racehorse sailed on the 31st of August, and has
since procf.Tded for Antwerp.
