THE STATE TRIALS.

The Freeman's Journal of this morning has a de-
scription of the formalities which will precede the
trials at Clonmel, from which it appears, that if the
bill of indictment shall be found, a copy is immedi-
ately given to the prisoner to enable him to prepare
for his defence. He is entitled also to a copy of the
caption of the indictment, which is a statement of the
title of the Court, and the time and place of
finding, &c. In England a person charged with
high treason is entitled to obtain with the copy of
the rndictraent, lists of the witnesses to be produced
against hlin, and of the jurors who are to try him,
ten days before trial ; but these provisions of
the English statute are not extended to Ireland,
Here these lists are not necessarily given, and instead
of ten but five days are allowed after the furnishing
of the copy of the indictment before the trial. The
five days, however, are exclusive of the days on which
the copy is given, and also of the day on which the
prisoner is arraigned and called to plead, which he
must do instanter. They are also exclusive of any
intervening Sunday. So that thus it appears that the
trial of any of the prisoners at Clonmel cannot take
place before the 29th inst.
There seems to be some misapprehension as to the
number of challenges to jurors allowed to the pri-
soners in cases of high treason. The number of
peremptory challenges formerly authorised by law
was 35, but now, by a statute passed in the ninth
year of George the Fourth, in all cases alike, whether
of treason or felony, the number of peremptory chal-
lenges is limited to 20 ; of course any additional
number of jurors may be challenged on cause being
shown.

Upon application, each prisoner is allowed two
counsel, who are assigned at his nomination by the
Court, an both counsel are permitted to speak for
him. The senior counsel of the two addresses the
jury at the close of the case for the Crown, and the
junior after the examination of the prisoner's witnesses.
Counsel for the Crown then replies upon the entire
ease. As to the evidence required to sustain a prose.
cution for high treason, it has been ruled that the overt
acts of treason must be proved to hare taken place in
the county where the indictment is laid.

THE NEW RAILWAY DISTANCE

SIGNAL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlE,—The new signal described in this day's Sun,
and said to be Mr. Stovin's, and fitted up by Messrs.
Stevens and Sons, is " my invention," and this sig-
nal was displayed at the Marquis of Northampton's
Conversazione, two winters ago ! ! ! And, like my other
signals, have been gradually adopted by all the rail-
ways, not only in Britain, but on the Continent, and
I have never yet received one farthing of value
from one or other of the railway companies. Do
have the kindness, then, to allow me the credit of the
invention, at least, as an act of justice, and oblige
Your obedient servant, the inventor,
R. RETTIE, C.E.

We understand it is intended that the marriage of
Lord Burghley, eldest son of the Marquis of Exeter, with
Lady Georgiana Pakenham, daughter of the Countess
(Dowager) of Longford, and sister of the present Earl,
shall be solemnized in the early part of next month.
ACCOUCIIEMENT OF THE EMPRESS OF BRAZIL.--
Her Majesty the Empress of Brazil was safely deli-
vered of a son and heir to the throne on the 19th of
July last.
Tait CoNDE DE MONTESIOLIN.—The Conde de
Montemolin and H.R.H. the Infante Don Fernando
Joseph, accompanied by the Duke of Medina Sidonia,
left town early yesterday morning for Alton Towers, on
a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, where
the august Princes met a large and distinguished party,
comprising the Duchess of Inverness, Viscount and
Viscountess Villiers, Viscount and Viscountess Mahon,
Count Ludolf, Lord and Lady Lyndhurst and Miss
Copley, Lady Rolle, Lord and Lady Waterpark, Lady

tiful seat in Cumberland.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING. THE STATE
APARTMENTS.—The opening of the new line of railwaj,
to Datchet continues to materially increase the number
of visitors to the state apartments. Ever since the
opening of the new line the applicants per day havee
averaged upwards of four or five hundred, and to-day th
first train brought down nearly seven hundred,
every successive train throughout the forenoon added
something to their number, until the lower ward
of aed
the
Castle, the North-terrace, &c., were crowded like a fair,
with men, women, and children, each party furnished
with its basket of provisions.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived.
General CORDOVA on that day left Madrid for Cata-
lonia. Great apprehensions are entertained of an out-
break at Seville, and of an attack on the Duke of MONT..
PENSIER on the occasion of the christening of his
infant child at the cathedral. The Duns has ren-
dered himself exceedingly unpopular by his refusal
to intercede for a commutation of the sentence of
transportation to the Phillippines arbitrarily passed
on certain political prisoners by Niatv-Azz, Without
giving them a trial.

CABRERA is at Vedra—BoQuisas's column is at
Ripoli, and a Carlist conspiracy has been discovered
i❑ Gallicia. The Maestrasgo is completely in pos..
session of the Carlist bands.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 7.—Three per Cents. are
quoted 19f buyers, sellers; Coupons, 7 sellers ;

The demands of the insurgents at Leghorn are

"1. A re-organization of the National Guard and
arming the reserve of the same.
.. _ ....

" 2. That the fortresses should be garrisoned by two-
thirds of the National Guard and one-third troops of the
line.

"3. The abrogation of the extraordinary powers
granted by the Chambers to the Government.
" 4. A general amnesty, or rather oblivion of the past',

VENICE.

A letter from Venice of the Ist inst. has the fol
lowing :

" Our Government has received intelligence that the
Pope is about to recal his troops. If that should take
place and we are left to our own resources, it will be
impossible for us to defend all our positions on the land
bide. Happily for the last few days the Austrians have
left us unmolested, and they have even decreased the
number of troops which blockade our city.
" The Sardinian fleet is still in the port, and as long
as the sea remains open we ca❑ receive provisions,
which tends to IL, ep up our courage, since it appears
certain, that no intervention on the part of France will
take place. God grant that the offer of mediation may
prevent any renewal of hostilities, and that the com-
munication with the continemt may be open to us."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter of the Bth says :—"The most con-
tradictory rumours are circulating in town. Some
say that M. PINDER, superior president of Silesia,
was to be charged with the formation of the new
Cabinet; others continue to pretend that Messrs.
PuiLLippia and UNRUH have a good chance. Messrs.
BECKERATII, MEVISSEN, &c., were also spoken of.
It is a complete break up. All these rumours are so
many suppositions. An absurd rumour declares
that the KING had refused to accept the resig-
nations of Ministers ; that the proclamation to the
army was accorded, and that Ministers remained,
declaring that they yielded to the wish of his MA..
JEST/. ! The news from Frankfort and Schleswig
have augmented the agitation. The Funds have
fallen 11 per cent., and Railway Shares from 3 to 4
per cent. There reigns in the city an increasing
emotion as in the days of March.
London, England, 1848-09-13

MODENA.

Advices from Modena, of the 2d, announce that
the Duke, in consequence of the agitation reigning
in the town, had placed two cannons before the gate
of his palace. An Austrian superior officer having
attempted to interfere in a menacing crowd, received
a pistol-shot in his hat from one of the bystanders.
The perpetrator was discovered.
London, England, 1848-09-13

ROME.

On the occasion of the secular anniversary of the
death of Saint JOSEPH CALASANZIO, who arrived at
Rome in 1648, a Tridus was celebrated at Rome on
the 25th, 26th, and 27th ult. On the third day the
POPE went to the Church of Saint Pantaleon, and,
having administered the sacrament, passed into the
contiguous oratory of the college, and, being seated
on the throne, published the decree for the beatifica-
tion and canonization of the Reverend Father PETER
CLAvnu, of the Jesuit Society. The Porn, having
received the thanks of the Father Postulator, replied :
" I render thanks to God, who, in these days of so
many difficulties, testifies to Italy, and to the world, how
much lie has at heart his holy religion, by raising up
men of fervour in those places where the labourers are
few and the harvest is abundant. It is no small encou-
ragement given to us by the Lord, when he gives to our
contemplation men who have for so many lustres devoted
themselves to enriching the church with new new con-
quests. This consolation is the more grateful, as it is
most painful to see in the times in which we live that
there is being introduced into all Catholic Italy, and
even into the centre of Christianity, Protestantism, not
by one accomplice, but by thousands and tens of thou-
sands of accomplices. They manifest the most ardent
vows for Italian nationality, and yet, in order to promote
it, they use the most abominable means, calculated only
to destroy it. At the moment when Germany, animat. d
with the same spirit, acknowledges that a diversity of
religions is the greatest obstacle to the end proposed,
inasmuch as the Protestants form projects of a union,
there are found in Italy men who, without dreading an
immense religious scandal and an immense political
danger, presume to introduce the pestilential seed of
separation of the unity of faith in order to obtain unity
of nation. This is the point to which passions blindly
lead. Let us pray to God that he will disperse this
darkness, and, confiding in Divine promises, let us
recal to our minds that the gates of hell shall never
prevail against the church."
London, England, 1848-10-09

FRANKFORT.

The Courrier du Bas Rhin of the sth inst. states
that the Central Government of Frankfort has called
into active service all the Federal contingents; that
12,00, 15,000, and 20,000 men were to be formed 011
different points, composed of Prussian, Hessian, Aus-
trian, and Bavarian troeps, and that the latter were
actually proceeding to the respective cantonments
assigned to them between Manheim and the Swiss
frontier. The same journal affirms that 4,000 Prus-
sians entered Manheim on the 29th ult. ; that
they were shortly afterwards followed by several
companies of soldiers of Wirtemberg and two
battalions of Nassau; that another Prussian corps
of 12,400 occupied Heidelberg, Weinheim,„Schwet-
zingen, and the adjoining villages; that troops of
Wirtemberg, Hesse, and Prussia, was being concen-
trated at Friburg under the orders of a Wirtem-
bergian General, named Miller ; and, finally, that a
Bavarian battalion entered Constance at the end of
September ; that 1,500 Austrians marched through
that town on the 30th ult., and that they were to be
followed on the Ist day of October by cavalry and
artillery and to take up positions along the Swiss
frontier. The National thinks that France cannot be
indifferent to those military movements, and invites
the Government to explain facts of so serious a na-
ture passing close to her frontier.

THAMES.

A youth named Samuel Tahoe, aged 16, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with firing a
loaded pistol in a public thoroughfare.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Henry Young,
of the Hannibal-road, Stepney, that he was passing
along the Mile-end-road, when he was startled by
the sudden report of a pistol ringing in his ears. ;He
turned round and saw the prisoner, who was just
lowering a pistol in his hand. He seized him, and,
after a severe struggle, conveyed him to the station-
house. The prisoner then said he did not mean to
fire off the pistol, and jeeringly remarked —" It was
loaded with shot—did any hit you ?" The witness
added that he had a very narrow escape ; the pistol
was fired near to his ear, and the wadding passed
close to his eye.
A police-constable said that the prisoner was very
fond of amusing himself with fire-arms, and his father
had twice taken pistols away from him.
The prisoner, in defence, said it was not his inten-
tion to fire the pistol; he was turning the lock down,
and it went off by accident.

Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner ought not to be
entrusted with a pistol at all, and that his father
should take effectual means to prevent him having
one again. In this case the life of a respectable man
had been placed in jeopardy by the foolish conduct of
the boy. He fined the prisoner 205., which was sub-
sequently paid by his parent, and the police retained
the pistol.

BADEN.

The Posthampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Friburg, lst, says that for the purpose of protect-
ing STRUVE from the fury of the soldiers of that place,
he had been removed to the fortress of Rastadt. The
soldiers, to the number of four hundred, assembled
before the place where he was confined, and de-
manded that he should be delivered up to them, that
they might execute him. The officers on duty dis-
played the greatest courage snd energy, declaring
that STRUVE should not be taken without passing
over their dead bodies. In order to calm their fury,
it was necessary to take STRUVE from his bed, and
make him lie on straw. The next morning he was
removed to Rastadt.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition o

Saturday]:—

Yesterday the Committee of Foreign Affairs as-
sembled to renew its bureau. M. Drouyn de Lhays
was re-elected President; M. Aylies was chosen
Vice-President, in the room of M. de Mornay ; M.
Edmond Lafayette and M. de Heckeren were nomi-
nated secretaries. M. Mole caused himself to be
inscribed a member of the Committee.
The Club of the Institute has declared in favour of
stile nomination of the President of the Republic by
universal suffrage. The majority was as great as the
three-fourths. The questions which that body has
still to discuss are of inferior importance. It remains
to decide, first, if the National Assembly will have a
right to choase a President amongst the first five
candidates, in the case that none of them should have
obtained an absolute majority, and, in the second
place, at what period it will be advisable to have the
President nominated. Is it to be after the vote of the
Constitution, or after the vote of the organic laws ?
The Club will have to decide on these questions in one
of its earliest sittings.

The Droit says :—" The commission which was
formed to re. examine the cases of insurgents con-
demned to transportation, has concluded its labours.
It has decided that about a third of all the con-
demned shall be set at liberty, their cases being such
as to warrant indulgence. Several of the persons
ordered for transportation have already been released."

NAPLES.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 2d,
mentions a rumour of a new insurrection in Calabria,
and particularly in the provinces of Cosenza and
Catanzaro, where a sort of political brigandage has
been organized, in which the property of the Liberals
is respected, and the Royalists only put under con-
tribution.

WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.—In this branch of
commerce but little novelty has been produced if placed
in comparison with the gigantic efforts made in favour of
cotton, its great modern rival; indeed, since the days
when Alva and other Spanish persecutors drove the in-
dustrious Flemish artizan to our shores, causing us to be
manufacturers instead of exporters of the raw material,
but little progress can be traced; however, an entirely
new make of cloth for Paletot purposes has been recently
manufactured in this country for an eminent London
firm, the Messrs. Nicoll of Regent-street, and else-
where; the principal advantages appear to consist in the
amalgamation of foreign wool, to which the Vicuna
and other members of the Llama tribe seem to have
been chief contributors. The specimens now offered
in the market are evidently intended for winter
use, and present an unusual arrangement for a de-
fence against inclement weather, by means of the
back of the cloth or that part when it is made into a
Paletot which is not seen. This was suggested by, and
made from, nature's model, for like the feathers of a bird
or the fur of an animal, the several particles are attracted
together upon the application of water, and the body is
thus kept dry and warm. The injurious effects arising
from the use of waterproofed materials may thus be
obviated.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
MYSTERIOUS FIRES.—On Saturday Mr. Payne,
Coroner, held a Court of Inquiry, respecting two very
mysterious fires which occurred during the nights of
Wednesday and Thursday last, upon the premises be-
longing to Mr. Samuel Jackson, an oil, colour, and
varnish maker, No. 75, Blackman-street, Borough. The
first fire was pretty clearly shown to be accidental; but
with regard to the second it was ascertained that a quan-
tity of paper had been fired i❑ one of the cupboards, but
by whom was a mystery. At the request of the jury
the inquiry was adjourned for additional evidence.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
buL more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
Its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthral"ng
power of LOPE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marr.k,e.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a derdly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, ss change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent, in the fulfilment 4o: every engagement, snap the very-con-
tract asunder which should be raost Wading to as honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilmeut of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unaroyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

HUNGARY.

The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Pesth,
of the 28th September, which says : —" Everybody is
labouring at the fortifications amidst the noise of the
cannonade, which is heard from the outside. The
works are carried on night and day, and the most
elegant ladies drive wheelbarrows. On the the 26th
the Croats entered Wessemburg, whilst the Hunga-
rian army retired to Velenge, to give battle there ;
and we have heard the noise of canton all night in
that direction. Kossuth returned to Pesth last
evening. The manifesto of the Emperor has not been
received, because it was not countersigned by any
minister. Kossuth is at the head of a provisional re-
volutionary Government of six members."—The Bcer-
senhalle says :—" The murderer of Count Lemberg,
who is, according to some, a mechanic of Vienna, and
according to other, a Hungarian, committed the crime
with a dagger, and afterwards mutilated the body.
According to a rumour at Vienna, on the 29th ult.,
which was not, however, believed, Jellachich was at
not more than three leagues from Ofen."

LOMBARD Y.

The following address, says the Augsburg Gazette,
has been issued at Milan, in the name of the Austrian
Government :
" In the hope of speedily beholding tranquillity re-
stored in all the provinces of the Lombardo-Venetian
kingdom, and animated by the desire of causing their
populations to participate in all the liberties enjoy ed
by the other provinces of the empire of Austria, we.
consider it right to at once make our intentions in
that respect known. We have already accorded a com-
plete amnesty to all the inhabitants of the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, for the share that they may have
taken in the political events of the present year; we
have ordered that they shall be neither prosecuted nor
punished, attention being paid to certain considerations
at whichit may be deemed necessary to stop in the
confirmation of public employments. Our will at the
same time is that the inhabitants of the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom shall receive a Constitution, suited
riot less to their nationality, and to the wants of the
country, than to their union with the empire of Austria.

SWITZERLAND.

The following is a note from the Ambassador of
Austria to the Federal Directory of Berne :
" The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, &c., has
had the honour to receive at the same time as the letter
of the Federal Directory of the 24th, the copy of the
note which that authority addressed to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs at Vienna. Conformably with the
desire expressed by the Directory, the undersigned has
done all that depended on him, with a view of re-
establishing, as soon as possible, international con-
nexions and good feeling between the Lombardo-Vene-
tion kingdom and the Swiss confederacy. Such has
been the object of his correspondence with Field-Marshal
Radetzky, and his communications with Vienna, for if he
be fully convinced of the loyalty of the intentions of the
Federal Directory and the Confederation in general, the
same conviction should also exist at Vienna and Milan.
Marshal Radetzky has expressed his regret at the in-
terruption of good understanding, and admits that the
later decrees of the Swiss Diet have been well inten-
tioned. As soon as the Marshall have the certitude of
these decrees being acted upon and executed, he will
revoke his orders. And this certitude the Commissioners
of the Tessin can speedily procure him.

TUSCANY.

The differences between Leghorn and the Tuscan
Government still continue. The Patria of the 30th
ult. says—" We had hoped that legal Government
would have been re-established at Leghorn, but it
seems otherwise. The new Governor and authorities
have been refused admittance at Leghorn and have
returned to Florence They have made an official
report to the Minister of the Interior, in which they
state that so soon as they had arrived they found the
Gonfalonier, who announced that their entry at Leg-
horn would certainly lead to disorders—that some of
the most influential of the people had assured him
that resistance would be offered to their reception,
and that the people were coming armed to conduct
them as prisoners to the fortress. The banker
ADAM', who had promised to supply the necessary
funds to the municipality had, from the fear of disor-
ders occasioned by their presence, withdrawn his
promise. The chief of the municipality had gone to
Florence to prevent their coming, and to communi-
cate the actual state of affairs to the Central Govern-
ment. The new authorities had therefore returned
to Florence for new instructions. The new Gover-
nor, who was thus rejected, issued a proclamation, in
which he says that he came to re-establish order,
fraternity, and respect for the law. That he had

PRUSSIA.

The following resolution, proposed by M. ROD-
BERTUS in the Prussian Assembly, has been carried
by a majority of 275 to 17.
" The National Assembly declares that it must elicit
an assurance, that in conformity with the law of the
28th of June (Frankfort), relative to the establishment
of a Provisional Central Power, his Majesty's Govern-
ment will strenuously, and as in duty bound, co-operate
with the Provisional Central Power and German Na-
tional Assembly in all such resolutions as they may
adopt in regard to the threatened complications of the
Danish question."

This resolution involves the principle of submission
on the part of the Executive of Prussia on every occa-
sion to the .Provisional Central Power ; in fact, it
makes of the King of PRUSSIA. a mediatised German
Prince.

According to an official return just published, the
otal amount of voluntary loan has reached 104 mil-
ions out of the 15 millions demanded.

BAVARIA.

Fresh assemblages of the people took place at
Munich in the evening of the 27th ult. They were
dispersed by the cavalry, and several of them
wounded.

SWITZERLAND.

The following is the essential part of the note
which M. Raveaux, envoy of the Central German
Goverwent, is charged to remit to the Helvetic
Directory with respect to the attempts made in the
Gland Duchy of Baden by the republican bands
which had found a refuge in the Swiss territory :
" The recent invasion organised by Struve, at the
head of an armed and disciplined band, immediately
after the assistance which Hecker previously re-
ceived from Switzerland, imposes on the Government
of the Vicar of the Empire the duty of taking all
measures of precaution which the honour and se-
curity of Germany require. In consequence the Mi-
nistry of the Empire demands for this manifest viola-
tion of all international obligations open and com-
plete reparation, and it desires that it may be given
wig the least possible delay. For this purpose the
Ministry demands that the Governments of the
cantons in which the organization took place, and
from which the invasion of the corps francs was
made, shall immediately proceed to a scrupulous in-
vestigation, and to the severe chastisement of guilty
fnnetionarits and authorities; that in case the consti-
tution in vigour in those cantons should not permit
the expulsion of these refugees, they shall be placed
under the surveillance of the police, and that the
Directory shall categorically explain itself with re-
spect to the guarantees it is able to offer to prevent
the repetition of such acts as those set forth above.
In case this demand shall not be promptly satisfied,
the Government of the Vicar of the Empire will
adopt all measures and all means, the employment of
which may be justified by the above-mentioned viola-
tions of international obligations, and which the
honour of Germany exact." _ _

According to the Ticino Gazette of the 30th
the relations between that canton and Lombardy
had been usumed. Count Zampieri, of Imola, had
arrived at Lugano with dispatches from Rome, in-
viting General Zucchi to accept the War Depart-
ment. It wausaid that, after a conference with the
Count, he had ccepted the office.
London, England, 1848-10-09

NAPLES.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 2d,
mentions a rumour of a new insurrection in Calabria,
and particularly in the provinces of Cosenza and
Catanzaro, where a sort of political brigandage has
been organized, in which the property of the Liberals
is respected, and the Royalists only put under con-
tribution.

WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.—In this branch of
commerce but little novelty has been produced if placed
in comparison with the gigantic efforts made in favour of
cotton, its great modern rival; indeed, since the days
when Alva and other Spanish persecutors drove the in-
dustrious Flemish artizan to our shores, causing us to be
manufacturers instead of exporters of the raw material,
but little progress can be traced; however, an entirely
new make of cloth for Paletot purposes has been recently
manufactured in this country for an eminent London
firm, the Messrs. Nicoll of Regent-street, and else-
where; the principal advantages appear to consist in the
amalgamation of foreign wool, to which the Vicuna
and other members of the Llama tribe seem to have
been chief contributors. The specimens now offered
in the market are evidently intended for winter
use, and present an unusual arrangement for a de-
fence against inclement weather, by means of the
back of the cloth or that part when it is made into a
Paletot which is not seen. This was suggested by, and
made from, nature's model, for like the feathers of a bird
or the fur of an animal, the several particles are attracted
together upon the application of water, and the body is
thus kept dry and warm. The injurious effects arising
from the use of waterproofed materials may thus be
obviated.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
MYSTERIOUS FIRES.—On Saturday Mr. Payne,
Coroner, held a Court of Inquiry, respecting two very
mysterious fires which occurred during the nights of
Wednesday and Thursday last, upon the premises be-
longing to Mr. Samuel Jackson, an oil, colour, and
varnish maker, No. 75, Blackman-street, Borough. The
first fire was pretty clearly shown to be accidental; but
with regard to the second it was ascertained that a quan-
tity of paper had been fired in one of th© cupboards, but
by whom was a mystery. At the request of the jury
the inquiry woo adjourned for additional evidence,
