ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT
ILFRACOMBE.
(Abridged from the North Devon Journal.)
This spirited place has been the first among the towns
of North Devon to join in the movement—now so general
as almost to claim to be called " national"—in favour of
a repeal of the corn-laws. In compliance with a requi-
sition, numerously signed, the worthy Portreeve, Robert
William Dickinson, Esq.. convened a public meeting on
the subject on Wednesday evening last. The meeting
was very well attended, and the proceedings were in the
highest degree enthusiastic.
Mr. DICKINSON having been called to the chair, opened
the business of the evening by reading the requisition,
and remarking that it had given him much pleasure to
respond to the call of the requisitionists, inasmuch as
their object was in accordance with his own feelings.
They formerly had had men of talent and ability, dele-
gates
from the Anti-corn-law League, who had addressed
them with sound reasoning and impassioned eloquence:
to night they must be satisfied with being addressed by
their fellow townsmen in plain homespun language.
They were indebted to the Anti-Corn-law League for
the assistance they had rendered by teaching them the
principles on which a total repeal of the corn-laws was
demanded; and they had further to thank the League
for having kept the question before the public during a
succession of bountiful harvests, when men were apt to
be careless for the future, and when the pernicious oper-
ations of the corn-laws were scarcely felt. If the League
hail been idle during the time of plenty, could it be sup-
posed that the people would now be so near the accom-
plishment of their desire—the total abolition of protect-
ing duties upon corn ? He must take that op-
portunity of making a remark npon one of the
main arguments used in favour of their being main-
tained : it was this—that the repeal of the corn-laws
would have the effect of reducing the wages of the opes
ratives, and was sought for with this object. Now there
were many around him who obtained their means of
living from their wages, and he would ask them if
their wages were less last year, when they could obtain
Sibs. of flour for Is. and a peck of potatoes for 21d. ;
or whether they had higher wages now, when they could
get only Sibs. of flour for Is. and had to give sa. for a
peck of potatoes which, two years since, were only con-
sidered fit for the food of pigs ? He challenged any,
person to deny that quantities of potatoes were now pur-
chased and eaten by the workmen and labourers, which
they would not have eaten in a gift two years since ;
and that those potatoes which they would not have
eaten at a gift, they were now purchasing for food for
themselves and their children. Had they higher wages
now, when all articles of food were dear? or were their
wages reduced when food was cheap ?—(Cries of " No,
no.") Was there not a greater demand for their labour
at a time food was cheap then now that it was dear?—
(Cries of "Yes.") He was sure that the most thinking
part of his audience were fully aware that it was supply
and demand that regulated the rate of wages, just as
supply and demand operated on the prices of the com-
modities of trade and commerce. The object of those
who advocated free trade was to promote agriculture,
trade, arid commerce; and in promoting those departmen s
of industry, they had in view to increasedemand forlabour.
They were all aware that at a time when trale and
Commerce were depressed, there was a redundancy of
labour in the market; and that when there were twenty
workmen waiting for employment, and there was but
labour for ten or twelve, the master had it in his power
to regulate the rate of wages ; whereas, in times when
trade and commerce were flourishing, and there was
sufficient labour for every person able and willing to
work, the position of master and operative was changed,
and the operatives, in that case, had it in their power
to regulate the rate of wages. Now if free-trade would
give an increased demand for labour, the operatives
would have it in their power to regulate the rate of
their wages when their labour was in demand. He
therefore trusted that none of them would be misled
by the insinuations of the monopolists, that cheapen-
ing fool was merely for the purpose of reducing the rate
of wages : it was an impossibility for wages to be re-
duced in value, when the labourer or operative could
cheese his master. The wish of the free- traders was,
that agriculture should flourish and abound—that trade
should flourish and abound—that commerce should
flourish and abound ; and yet for years had the promo-
ters of free trade, for selfish and political purposes, been
stigmatised as destructive: ; and by whom ?—the very
party who were now ready to do the work themselves
that they so vilified the League for helping forward—ay,
and by no less a man than Sir Robert Peel himself;
whose party thrust him forward as its head, and after-
warils bolster, d him up in the House of Commons with
a majority of 90 ; yes, Sir Robert was going to do the
work which his party had all along called one of de
struction—viz., to repeal the protecting duties on corn.
"If the thing must be done, we will do it"—say the
Tories, " the Radicals shall not do it—the League shall
not do it—we will do it." But they were not all come
over to the side of the League, and some of the ultra
Tories were getting positively rampant--witness the
address of the Committee of the " Wincanton and Yeovil
Society for the Protection and Defence of Agriculture,"
to the landowners and clergy of the county of Somerset,
and especially the following paragraph in it :—" Our
watchword is—' No compromise !—no surrender !'—
rest on your arms well prepared, until your illustrious
Commander-in-Chief again gives the word—' Up, boys,
and at them " Now the words—" Up guards, and at
them !" was an expression of the Duke of Wellington
at the battle of Waterloo ; and its revival upon this
occasion, with the substitute of the word " boys" for
" guards," was very significant, and seemed to threaten
something more than a battle at the hustings. He would
trespass on them with another quotation from the
Stindard of Saturday last, which, writing on the sub-
!eet of Lord John Russell having been sent for by the
Queen, said: —" We had great faith in the hunger, and
consequent audacity of the Whig party—hunger will
dare anything." Oh! little did the writer think of the
double-edged weapon he was using when he wrote—
" Hunger will dare anything," At a moment when
they were threatened with famine, he seemed to forget
that there was such a thing as hunger from want of food,
ea well as the political hunger from waist of office. " The
hungry will dare anything!" They would dare anything,
and no one knew better than the editor of the Standard
that the fear of human punishment operates feebly indeed
when opposed to the importunities of want, and when
life was possessed of nothing worth preserving. Surely
that was a most inopportune moment to have used
such a taunt. lie hoped and trusted that the threatened
scarcity might be averted by a repeal of the protect-
ing duties on articles of food, and that their agitation
might be confined to their meetings, and desperation
might not drive some to agitation in the street, so as to
gratify the Wineanton Committee by giving them a
chance to whoop out—" Up, boys, and at them !" Their
agitation, is order to give freedom to trade, agriculture,
anti commerce, had been confined to the use of argument
and reason ; he sincerely trusted that their object would
be accomplished, as he was sure it would be, eonstitu-
tienslly by the approbation of Parliament and the Crown,
and consummated by universal public applause.
ItIcRARD Biome, Esq., on the call of the Chairman,
rose to move the first resolution. He should detain
them a few moments, while he endeavoured to combat
the plea of some of the aristocracy for the continuance
of these laws. They told us their estates were
inert-gaged; now he asked them it' that was a sufficient
excu'e for cutting off' a slice from each of their loaves
to pay the mortgage? mot assuredly not. They also
stated that it was necessary they should continue
this tax to enable them to give larger fortunes
to the younger branches of their family : he
asked them if this was not too monstrous to be
entertained for a single trionient? Tho last ple
he should notice was that they would continue
thais
tax for the benefit of the labourers. It would be neces-
sary that we should look into the condition of these poor
fellows, There were in the county of Devon about
20,00:) existing upon 8,. per week ; let them for a
moment consider this benefited class. Upon an average,
they hat four children, making a family of six. Deduct
is. Par week for rent, Is. for tire and candle, 2s. for
clothes, shoes, and bedding, and they had a balance of
four shillings left to furnish food fir twenty-one
meals for six human beings, that is,
less than 214. per
meal. If the landed proprietors d not been the

have enabled them to pay the corn-tax. Mr. w.ehen
tinued:—l hold that all laws ought to be based on the
holy Word of God. What says the Scripture? At.,
we not commanded not to muzzle the ox that treadeth
out the corn? Will any man in this assembly Bay that
the labourers in the county of Devon are not muzzled?
The mechanics of this town were paying out of their
Wages about Is. 6d. per week to the landed gentry
of this Country. To show them the injustice of the
corn tax, it was enough to say that each of them Bras
paying as much bread-tax as he (Mr. B.) did ; was this
justice ? He now begged to propose the resolution he
held in his hand :—" That the present circumstances in
which this country is placed, especially demand the total
of t

the which prevent the free circulation

The Rev. BENJAMIN Paige, minister of the Episcopal
Free Church, in an eloquent address seconded the reso-
lution, which was adopted with acclamation.
JOEIN JONES, Esq., moved the second ur.eesolution :

SHIPWRECK IN PEVENSEY-BAY.
HASTINGS, DEC. 31.—An inquest was held to-day at
the Star Inn, Pevensey, before Mr. John Phillips (who
acted as coroner in the absence of Mr. J. G. Shorter),
on the body of a passenger of the Two Corneliuses,
named Gronwald, who, it was supposed, was drowned
in the above vessel. It appears that the Two Corne-
liuses, bound for Amsterdam, was a Dutch vessel of 750
tons burden, and had come from Batavia laden with
a valuable cargo, consisting of indigo, sugar, coffee,
packages of blocked tin, and cane. On Sunday morning
last, about two o'clock, she was in Pevensey-bay, and
while the captain was below he heard a noise, and on
proceeding on deck he discovered she had struck. lie
attempted to put her to sea, but to no purpose. The wind
at the time blew a perfect gale, and the sea ran moun-
tains high. Guns were fired off as signals of distress,
which being heard at one of the Martello Towers (55
station), a mounted coastguardsman was immediately
dispatched to Eastbourne (about seven miles distant) fer
the li‘e-boat, which was as soon as possible put off at
Langley-point to render the poor fellows assistance. The
crew who manned the boat acted with extraordinary
bravery and coolness; and, notwithstanding the violence
of the gale and the roughness of the sea, they succeeded
in reaching the vessel (about a mile distant from shore
and a short distance eastward of Beachey-head), and
landed ten in safety. About seven o'clock twenty more
of the crew were landed in the ship's boat in a state
of great exhaustion, but through the kindness of
Lieutenant Nickoll they were plentifully supplied
with restoratives. They lost the whole of their
clothes, and were miserably clad. On a representation
being made to the agent at Eastbourne to the Ship-
wrecked Mariners' Society, they were supplied with
articles of clothing. The whole of the crew having
been landed, as was supposed, some of the brave coast-
guardsmen ascertained that there was one poor fellow (the
deceased) lashed in the rigging. One of them, named
Driscoll, desired to go off to render him assistance ; but
Lieut. Nickoll said that as it was thought the poor fellow
was dead, having been ill for two months previously, and
almost dead when the vessel struck, it was useless for
him to risk his and the others' lives. Driscoll then ex-
claimed, with great emotion, " Then, Sir, I'll swim out
to him, for I can't bear to see a fellow creature there."
Lieutenant Nickoll then gave leave, and Driscoll, with
the Ashdown, John Yea.tes, Henry Veerhault, and Win.
Henry Selley, put off in a boat, and after many narrow
escapes, the sea continuing very rough, they reached the
vessel, when they discovered the poor fellow suspended
in the rat-lines quite dead.
The jury, having heard the evidence, returned a ver-
dict, that Deceased died from natural causes, accelerated
by exposure to cold.
Deceased was formerly a soldier at Batavia, and having
been very lately pensioned off, he intended to have spent
the remainder of his days at Amsterdam, whither the
vessel was bound.
The weather has continued very boisterous, and since
Sunday the vessel has gone to pieces, and the major
portion of the cargo bus been washed out and strewed
along the coast for some miles eastward. Several boxes
of indigo, however, have been secured at Hastings and
other places ; and it is supposed there are some boxes of
coffee remaining in the small portion of the vessel left.
Her hull is visible, and preparations are making to se-
cure what little it contains.
The jury expressed their admiration of the bravery
of the men in rendering assistance ; and we would add,
that a more substantial proof of admiration should be
showa by the Humane Society, for a more deserving
case of reward could not possibly be brought under their
notice.
Since the above melancholy occurrence we have re-
ceived communications, stating that the weather has
continued with unabated violence along this coast, and
that two vessels, one a collier, and the other a small craft
from Sunderland, have been wrecked off Rye. The
whole of the crew in the collier perished, but the others
were saved.

and not enough—between giving fire pence for a cer-
tain quantity of bread a short time ago, and seven pence
now ; and no sophistry could conceal the fact, that there
had been a deficient harvest, and that a naysteilms
disease clove to the potatoes. lie was no politician—
never was, perhaps never should be ; but this subject
required no skill in politics ; common sense told them
that those persons who before the rise of bread could
get just enough and no more, must now be minus that
twopence upon fivepence which it had since advanced
in price, and doubtless there were many such ; and those
who before had not enough, and could not get enough,
must now be descending to zero—to the point of starva-
tion. The question was, what was to be done to pre-
vent things getting worse ? The only expedient which
presented itself was to open the ports and do away
with the corn-laws. Something ought to have
been done before ; but something had been doing: Cabi-
net Councils had met, and Sir Robert Peel seemed to be
got upon his own sliding-scale ;ho had been sliding up
and down on it for eight or nine Cabinet Councils:—
Lord John Russell had been called to help him, but had
failed ; and where he might slide to next, nobody could
tell ; but this seemed pretty clear—that he was willing
to send the corn-law overboard. The present
seemed a good opportunity to do it ; with
the League to help him, and a few millions of
hungry bellies behind, it must go—it must, if he
were minded to stay aboard himselt:—(lmmense cheers.)
After a few further remarks, the speaker concluded a
highly effective speech, amidst great chrering, by se-
conding the resolut on, which the Chairman put to the
meeting, who adopted it nein. con.
Mr. GEORGE Tuomrsoar next addressed the meeting,
and having, in terms of the most eloquent eulogium,
described the obligations which the nation was under to
Mr. Cobden and the Anti-Corn law League, con-
cluded by proposing an address to her Most Gracious
Majesty," humbly praying that her Majesty would be
graciously pleased, at the openin,, of the ensuing ses-
sion, to press upon the attention of both Houses of Par-
liament the indispensable necessity of considering the
effect of protecting taxes upon articles of food, with a
view to their immediate"and total repeal."
The Rev. G. SMITH seconded the adoption of the me-
morial, which was carried by acclamation.
On the motion of Mr. Bligh, seconded by Mr. Thomp-
son, the Portreeve was requested to sign the memorial
in behalf of the meeting.
The Chairman having left the chair, the best thanks
of the meeting, with three times three cheers, were pre-
sented to him.

Three cheers were given and repeated for the early
and total repeal of the corn-laws ; and the assembly
broke up, after one of the most unanimous and energetic
meetings ever held in Ilfracombe.

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 2.—There has
been a scmewhat better feeling in this market during
the past week, and sales have been rather on the in-
crease, prices being eithout alteration.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 2.—There
has been rather more inquiry for wool this week, and
prices are rather firmer.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 2.—This has again
been a holiday week for wool, and prices of all sorts
remain statiouary, with but little doina.
LEEDS.—The markets at our Cloth-halls, both on Sa-
turday and Tuesday, have been very dull ; on the latter
day, in particular, the weather being very stormy, and
bring the last market of the year, very few buyers were
in the market, and the attendance of the manufacturers
was much less than usual. Prices remain firm. This
being the season when the principal part of the mer-
chants take stock, and when few buyers visit the mar-
ket, the usual dulness of Christmas time prevails in the
warehouses. There is, however, a generally prevailing
opinion that business will improve shortly.
lIECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, JAN. l.—There
has been only a thin attendance of buyers this week,
partly owing to the mildness of the season ; in prices
there is not much alteration for the last few weeks.
LEICESTER.—The new year presents both a steady
and firm aspect in all our staple manufactures. Stocks
on hand, both of worsted and cotton goods, are light for
the season, and made with care to meet the coming de-
mand. Several buyers are already in our market.
%Vcrsted yarns without alteration in price. Wools re-
main firm, and but little doing. Taking a survey of
last year's business connec'ed with all branches of our
manufactures, we may affirm there has not been a more
satisfactory one fur many years past.—Leicester Journal
of Friday.
BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. I.—WOOL.—We regret
we cannot give a more cheering report of this article. The
staplers generally are holing full average stocks, while
some few are heavily stocked. The demand for several
months past has been seriously diminished, nor until
the last two or three weeks was there any giving way
in price submitted to. During the past week but little
business has been done, and that little on terms rather
easier to the buyer. YARNS.—The year just closed bas
been one of no ordinary character, for throughout the
entire period nothing but loss has been the result, wool
maintaining a high price ; whereas yarns have been
very heavy and drooping ; and what has greatly tended
to depress the trade has been the large quantities of in-
ferior yarns which have been thrown on the market, and
sold regardless of price, and in many cases at even less
than the cost price of the wool. We are glad, however,
to add, that less of this class is now offering. The in-
quiries for yarn are more numerous, and so soon as the
shippers are in the market, and the business more active
higher prices are fully calculated on. We hear of some
houses unwilling to sell for distant delivery. PIECES.—
The demand for general dress goods, such as Orleans
and Paransattas, is better than for several weeks past, and
we hope now to be able to report a progressive improve-
ment, as stocks in neither the merchants nor the manu-
facturers' hands are heavy, all having exercised the
greatest caution to prevent an accumulation. The fancy
branch is very depressed, and those engaged in it com-
plain loudly of their position, and many are totally aban
Boning the trade.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—Wo have had a
very considerable increase of confidence among pur-
chasers of cloth this week ; and, considering that it is a
sort of holiday week, a large business must be reported,
at full, if not increasing rates. The market altogether is
buoyant. A touch larger amount of business will no
doubt be done next week, when business for the now
year may be said to fairly commence. Spinners do not
find much difficulty in quitting stock, even at a slight
improvement.
NOTTINCHAM.—The condition of the staple manu-
facture of this district is still extremely dull and gloomy,
though not without a slight amendment in some
branches, but not such as to give any effectual and
scarcely partial relief.—Nottingham Review of Friday.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.-011 Friday morning
the body of a new born female child was discovered floating
;n the rivcr Thames opposite the Crab Tree public-house,
Fulham. The body was at once brought on shore, and now
awaits a Coroner's inquest at the above -public-house. The
body has apparently been in the water for a considerable
time.

ACCIDENT AT THE ADEL 1•111 THEATRE. On
Thursday night, during the pantomime, as the troops of the
King of the Cannibal Islands were e:r.erging from the right •
hand scenes, some of their dresses caught tire front the red
flames that were formed to give effect to their appearance.
They, however, had sufficient presence of mind to retreat,
end extinguish the fire before many of the audience observed
it. At a subsequent part of the performance, as the clown
and pantaloon were tossing a young lad in a blanket, they
nearly let hint fall upon the stage, which so frightened him
that he would not undergo any more blanketing.
TUE LARGEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.—Accord-
ing to reports of traveller; the bridge of Lavang, over an
arm of the sea, in China, is the largest bridgein the world.
Erected in a similar way as the bridges of Babylon but
entirely of stone. Its length is said to extend to 26,800 Paris
feet, and comprises 300 arches, or rather openings of pillars.
These are not overspread by arches, but there are placed
above them large slabs of stone, which form the roadway, 70 feet broad. The distance of the pillars is nearly 74i feet, the
latter being 70 high, and 15 feet broad, and strengthened with
stone fitchigs,of the form of triangular prisms,which extend over
the whole height of the pillars up to the transversal slabs.
The latter (of course more than 70 feet long) extend in
breadth to fifteen feet, and have 9 feet in thickness. Other
rep, orte however, assign no more than 43 feet, old Paris mea-
sure, to the distance of the pillars, and only 4} feet to the
breadth and thickness of the transversal slabs--by which, of
course, the length of the bridge is reduced one-half. Even
so, it would be an astonishing structure, being six times the
length of the longest bridge in Europe, viz. the Pont de St.
Esprit, at Lyons. The parapet is, according to some.reports,
a railing, according to others, a balittetrade, and every
pillar supports a pedestal on which a lion, 21 feet long, and
made of one block of marble,., is placed.—e Builder.

sequence. The butlers were driven in, the engines dashed of

to them perished. At Calais, the Montague, of New-
castle, for Honfk,ur, also foundered; the crew, eight in
number, took the boat just before she went down, and
were making for the shore, when the boat capsized, and
the whole of them sunk.
Thirteen coasting vessels were driven ashore during
the gales off different parts off the Welsh, and the more
distant portion off the western coast; and in most in-
stances, in consequence of the continuance of the gales,
the greater part of them, it is feared, will become total
losses. Eight out of the thirteen were attended by loss
of life, each vessel varying from two to three of their
crew.
Along the Dutch coast the sacrifice of property has
been equally as great as off the English. The total
number of vessels reported to have been lost amount to
sixteen. The Belgian and French coasts have been
visited with similar disasters, also occasioning a de-
plorable loss of life.

person of independent fortune residing in Victoria-road,
Peckham, was brought before the magistrate, it was said
that the prisoner Doman had taken poison, and such
was the fact. When, however, she beard of Smith being
in custody, she went voluntarily to the police-court, and
thence to the police-station, where she was at once se-
cured and charged with the felony.
Inspector Penny stated that she had plunged into a
"water-but with the intent of drowning herself, and that
she had been formerly a nurse in the Fever Institution,
and latterly passed a, Smith's wife, who was a visitor
at Mr. Linton's house, but against the wish of that gen-
tleman.
The prisoner acknowledged she was a party to taking
the wine, but denied any knowledge of the plate and
wearing apparel. She was remanded.
William Willis was charged with burglariously enter-
ing the houses of Messrs. Walker, surgeons, St. Jobe-
street, Clerkenwell, of Messrs. Dallow and Neill, in the
same street, and of Mr. Lerew, a chemist and druggist,
residing in Milton-street, Cripplegate, and stealing
therefrom gold and silver watches, plate, wearing ap-
parel, bank notes, and jewellery, the property of the
above-mentioned persons. The prisoner is a very de-
mure-looking young man.
On the night of the 22J of November the houses of
four tradesmen in St. John-street were burglariously en
tered from the house of Mr. Neill, 10L, the contents of
a cashbox, and some wearing apparel, were stolen; from
the house of Mr. Walker, jewellery, wearing apparel,
and a gold watch. The watch was taken from the very
room in which Mr. Walker slept, and the cash-box from
the bedroom of Mrs. Neill ; it was forced open on the
premises ,and then thrust through the window of the
counting-house, but so skilfully and silently were the
robberies effected, that the burglar got clear off with
the booty undetected and unseen. On the night of the
20th of the same month, the premises of Mr. Lerew, of
Milton-street, were burglariously entered, and two
watches, a signet ring, and guard chain, 10/. in gold and
silver, a 5/. bank note, and other property, were ab-
stracted in the same mysterious manner. The affair
caused a ;great deal of excitement and uneasiness, and
particularly in St. John-street, where four houses were
entered on the same night. The police, who were
greatly blamed for not being more vigilant, spared no
exertion ti apprehend the offender. An old soldier was
arrested on suspicion of being concerned in it, but elle
police failed in sustaining the charge ; he was, however,
convicted of having five counterfeit crown pieces on his
person when arrested,'and sentenced to 18 months' impri-
sonment at the last Old Bailey sessions. On the 20th ult ,
at 4 o'clock in the morning, police-constable Moss, of the
G division, being on duty in St. John-street, saw the
prisoner coming out of Mitre-court ; seeing there was
something bulky beneath his dress be questioned him,
and finding his answers evasive and contradictory took
him to the station, when, on being searched, all the ap-
paratus of a burglar were found upon him—lecifer-
snatch- box, pick-locks, screw-driver, four bunches of
keys, &c. The prisoner gave his address, and the con-
stable after lodging him in the cell went to ascertain if
it were genuine. The landlord of the house in which
the prisoner lodged came to the door at the constable's
knock ; and, in answer to inquiries, declared the pri-
soner was at that moment in bed (which no doubt the
landlord believed), for he was surprised to hear the pri-
soner had crept out in the same stealthy and silent way
by which his movements at Messrs. Walker's had been
regulated, and that he was then a prisoner at the police-
station. The prisoner's apartment was forthwith
searched, and the duplicates of Mr. Walker's gold
watch and other property belonging to the same gentle-
man found there. The duplicates of a great portion of
Mr. Lerew's property were found in the prisoner's box,
and a 5/. Bank of England note, stolen from the latter
gentleman, has been found, and traced to the prisoner,
whose name is endorsed upon it in his own handwriting.
The greater part of the property was pawned. It was
produced in Court by the pawnbrokers, ani identified by-
the owners.
The prisoner, who was undefended, having received the
usual caution, confessed the burglary at Messrs. Walker's
and Mr. Neill's. He denied that there was any money in
Mr. Neill's cash-box, but Mrs. Nail! swore the direc
contrary.--The prisoner was fully committed for trial

MANSION-HOUSE,
John Kloba, the old Dutchman, who was some days
ago chareed with having robbed Mr. Burley, shopnaan
in the employment of Mr. Viner, et' Regent-stres t, cf
three watches, the property of the latter, was brought up
for final examination. The watches were valued at
130/. The following was the additional evidence. It
will be recollected, that although several witnesses
identified the prisoner as the person who called himself
Mr. Delara, he stoutly declared that he was not the
man, and also denied that he was in England at the time
of the robbery.
Ann Maria Whitehead said, she was servant to Mr.
Salt, of 3, St. George's-terrace, Hyde Park, in June, and
was left to take care of the house by her master. That
the prisoner took the house of her master ready fur-
nished in that month, on a Friday, and after he had
been there three or four days, Mr. Burley called, and
asked for Mr. Delara, and witness showed him up to
the drawing-room, in which the prisoner was seated.
Witness then went down stairs. She had closed the hall
door, after having admitted Mr. Burley, but soon after-
wards that person called to her from the head of the
stairs, and asked her for Mr. Delara. She replied that
he had come to the house on Friday night, and Mr.
Burley said, " I am a ruined man, for he has stolen
three watches from me." Witness observed that the
street door, which she had closed, was wide open, and
she never afterwards saw the prisoner until he was in
custody.
The LORD MAYOR—Are you satisfied that he is the
man? Witness—Certainly : not the least doubt of it.
The LORD MAYOR—Had any other tradespeople
called ? Witness—yes, some dressing-cases were
brought home to him on the day before, and some on
the day after he disappeared, and the messenger with
the latter made an apology for the delay.—(A langh.)
The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner. have you any ques-
tions to ask of this witness ? The prisoner—No. lam

The LORD MAYOR—You insisted before that you
were not the man. The prisoner—But I consider it is
now the best way to tell the truth. I have done
wrong, but I hope you will have mercy on me. I

The LORD MAYOR—AII that won't justify the robbery.
Inspector Shackell said the prisoner was very near
doing a jeweller out of a diamond ring, worth 75 gui-
noel, which ring the Dutchman actually had put upon
his finger.
The prisoner said that he sold the watches for for 36/.
That was all he got for them.
Alderman FAREBROTHER (who sat with the Lord
Mayor), said that somehow or other the case showed
that there continued to be great facilities for disposing
of stolen goods.
Inspector Shackell said, that Mr. Phillips, who pur-
chased the pearl watch of the prisoner, bad done all in
his power to further the ends of justice, and had himself

• The Alban steamer has some defects in the cylinders
of her engines, and will be put in dock this afternoon to
have them rectified; this will detain her in the harbour
until the 15th inst., when it is intended she shall return
to Cork.
The Centaur, let class steamer, jury-rigged, has sailed
for Woolwich in charge of Mr. Brown, the second master
attendant, and some seamen and riggers from the dock-
yard. She will have her engines, machinery, and funnel
put on board in the river, and afterwards return h, re to
be commissioned. The Nautilus brig accompanies her
as far as Shoreham.
The Emerald tender sailed this afternoon to Devon-
port, with officers and men for the Queen, Nimrod, and
Rapid.
The Earl of Haddington, OR retiring from the Admi-

by Admiral Sir Byam Martin.
JAN. 2.—The Colembine, 18 runs, is
ordered to be prepared forthwith and fitted for set vice.
The:Scout, 16 guns, was put cut of dock on Wednesday
last, and was taken alongside the sheer hulk, when her
masts were placed on board ; she will be ready for com-
missioning by the middle of this month, when it is ex
pected the pendant will be hoisted.
The Eurotas, 42 guns, was taken into deck on the 31st
ult., to be fitted for a steam guard-ship for this port ;
most of the hired workmen employed in the Fortitude
coal depot, now nearly completed, have been transferred
to her.
The Calypso, 20 guns, Captain Henry J. Worth,
fitting for sea, is getting fast with her rigging, and will
be ready for sea in about three weeks ; she has a few
hands on board, but seamen come forward very slowly
for her.

The La Hogue, 74 guns, fitting at Blackwall as a steam
guard-ship for this port, and the Eurottis, fitting for the
same service, are each to be fitted with galvanized rigging.
The Janus steam-sloop has been under the hands of
thel dockyard ever since her arrival from her last trip.
She is ordered to Portsmouth, and left Chatham this
day. The Earl of Dundonald, her constructor, arrived
on Thursday afternoon, the Ist in-t., from London, and
is now staying at the residence of the Captain-Super-
intendent, W. IL Shirriff, RN. The Noble Earl intends
proceeding with the ship. Her last trip evidently
proves that she will never, under her present construction,
be able to head the sea. The following is the progress
she made in her last trial, on her leaving this port on
the 16th ult. :—She started at 1 P.M., with a fine breeze
aft, her wheels revolving about 3f turns per minute ;
and on her arrival at Sheerness at a quarter-past three
o'clock,:P.R., anchored off the Mouse at four o'clock,
and on the 17th she proceeded at thirty minutes after
eight o'clock A.M. for Portsmouth, with fine sm. oth
water, with light breezes bbwirg aft, she making 13
turns of the wheels per minute, and at two P.M. her speed
became reduced, and kept gradually slackening, in con-
sequence of a slight swell of the sea, and at nine P.M.
she could only make nine turns per minute. On the 18th,
at three o'clock A.M. she made nine turns per minute,
and at five A.M. only seven turns per minute, and in con-
sequence of a head wind springing up, it was feared that
she could not make head way against the wind, and
she was compelled to return, and she set sail at one
P.M., and anchored in the Downs for the night, and
on the 10th, at thirty minutes after eight A.m.,
started her engines, with a light favourable breeze,
her wheels revolving about thirteen turns per minute,
and at nine o'clock the ship was put round to the
wind, for the purpose of trying her, but she could not be
forced to go ahead, and she laid for the nigh t. On the
21st, at thirty minutes after ten o'clock, A.N., the ship
started for Chatham, but, owing to a strong wind, she
could not go ahead, and it was found neces,:try to
anchor two miles from Margate, keeping the e...gines
at work until night ; and at thirty minutes after eight,
A.M., on the 22d, started again for Sheerness, attempted
to beat up; not being able to steam against the wind, at
thirty minutes after eleven, A.M., got aground, and after
some difficulty got off, and anchored for the night. On
the 23d it was found that she could not go ahead, and
she was forced to remain at anchor. Oa the 24th the

SHAMEFUL HOAX.
At Hammersmith Police-court, on Friday, Inspector
Howell stated that he had that morning received, by
post, a communication from Inspector Horns., of the
Stepney division of police, informing him that a paper,
which was enclosed, had that morning been found con-
tained in a bottle, which had been seen floating with
the stream down the river Thames, off Wapping, and
picked up, and desiring him to make immediate inquiries
about the matter. The contents of the paper found in
the bottle was as follows :
" 20,
" Christian Frier ds,—WhoeverVictoria-road may, K
beens f inortuntonate
enough to pick up this bottle, in the name of all that is
holy I conjure him to repair to my dungeon, as above.
For a trifling fault I am chained hand and foot in a dark,
dismal cellar, with no prospect of liberation for month!,
tfy employer is most arbitrary and unjust, and after
having violated my person six times, has confined
me to this dreadful death. I have expectations, and
can promise whoever rescues me my hand and a thou-
sand pounds.
