THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING,. S.EPTEMIiER_ 24, 1A46.

1 pany with llickton, from the police station in Arbour-
square. Nothing particular occurred until the night
I of the 29th of June (the night of the murder).
On :that evening it was proved that the deceased
went on duty with his brother constables at
nine o'clock, and proceeded to his beat. The last consta-
ble he was seen in company with was Sergeant Parsons
about half-past nine o'clock. The sergeant was then in
the road on horseback, and Clarke on foot, and at this
time the wife of Sergeant Parsons and his sister came
along, and Mrs. Parsons having complained of being
tired, the poor fellow Clarke, who was in good spirits
as the time, offered to lift her on to the sergeant's horse,
but did not do so. Parsons' wife and sister left Clarke
and Parsons together, and he was not seen again until
half-past ten o'clock, when Clarke was met by a man
named Luke White. That was the last time, so far as
the evidence showed, that the deceased was seen alive.
He was missed at one o'clock in the morning, and at six
o'clock on the 30th the deceased was reported by the
police as missing. The body, as the jury were all un-
fortunately aware, was not discovered until four days
after, when it nas found in the corn-field where the
murder took place. Upon reference to the medical evi-
dence which the jury had heard,he (the Coroner) wished
particularly to direct their attention to that portion of
the case, as it was most important, clearly proving that
the murder was the result of revenge. The murderer
was not satisfied with killing his victim, but mangled
him in the frightful manner seen by the jury, and de-
tailed in the medical evidence. Had the deceased been
killed in an ordinary quarrel, or in the performance of
his duty, his assailants would have been satisfied with in-
flicting on him a single blow or cut, such as had been de-
scribed, and then left him; but when the jury reflected on
the horrible way in which the unfortunate man was muti-
lated they could come to no other conclusion than that
this most atrocious murder was the result of revenge,
and nothing else. The Learned Coroner here pro
seeded to read over the voluminous evidence, commenting
on it as he proceeded. In reference to the evidence of
the police, he said that it appeared clear that during
portions of the night of the murder Sergeant Parsons
was not on duty. What became of Parsons between
half-past ten and twelve o'clock ou that night, and be-
tween one and six o'clock on the following morning, did
not appear, nor did Parsons exhibit any disposition to
inform the jury. Again, the constable Butfoy endea-
voured to make it appear that he was not on duty on the
night of the murder, having, as he said, got drunk at
Romford, and that he was in bed from five o'clock in the
afternoon of the 29th of June, until six o'clock the
next morning, when he heard that the deceased Clarke
was missing. Now this was positively contradicted by
Kimpton and by Parsons himself, who said Butfoy came
to the station at twelve o'clock, and said, " All right,
sergeant." If Butfoy could prove he was really in bed,
why then his time was accounted for on the night of the
murder ; bnt if he did not, then there must be some sus-
picion attaching to his conduct. They had it proved, that
on the morning after the murder, when Clarke was re-
ported missing, Parsons left the station-house with the
constable Kimpton, and before he had.proceeded 200 yards
from the station he proposed to Kimpton what tale they
were all to stick to in reference to his being on duty on the
night of the murder. Now that had struck him (the Coro-
ner) as a very strong and suspicious circumstance in
the case, but it would be for the jury to s iy, what
importance should be attached to it. With reference to
the conduct of the police generally in the case, there were
no words strong enough in the English language to ex•
press the disgust which must be felt by all right-minded
persons at their conduct. He applied his observations
to those policemen who had been guilty of the foul and
heinous critle, to say the least of it, of wilful and cor-
rupt perjury. The unfortunate circumstance was, that
these very men, the servants of the public, had in tilt:
first instance been engaged in tracing cut the perpetra-
tors of the deed and in forwarding the ends of justice,
and they had been the principal means by which the
ends of justice had been defeated. They had been en-
gaged to ascertain the perpetrators of the diabolical
deed, and they had done everything in their power to
repress the truth. Ira consequence of these circum-
stances the greatest difficulty and mystery had been
thrown around the case; but it would be for the jury to
consider whether there was suspicion founded on the
evidence sufficiently strong to warrant them in returning
a verdict of wilful murder against any person or per-
sons. He need not again caution the jury that they
were hound to come to a conclusion without any hatred
or malice, but that they were bound to do so solely from
the facts adduced in evidence before them. If they did
not think that the circumsta.ices were sufficiently strong
to inculpate any person or persons in a charge of wilful
murder, then it would the duty of the jury to return an
open verdict of wilful murder against some person or
persons unknown. With these remarks he (the coroner)
would leave the case in the hands of the jury, doubting
not but that they would come to such a conclusion as
would satisfy their own consciences, and the minds of
the public at large, in so important a matter.
The inquest-room was here cleared of strangers, and
after a consultation lasting upwards of an hour, the
Court was re-opened, when the Coroner announced that
the jury had come to a verdict of " Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown."
Mr. Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parsons,
he now wished to know if he was to remain in the cus-
tody. or under the surveillance, of the police any longer?
Mr. Superintendent Pearce said he had no authority
to answer that question.
The CORONER said he would undertake to say, that
not only Sergeant Parsons, but the whole of the men
who had sworn falsely, would be indicted forthwith for
perjury.
Mr. Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parscns,
he was prepared to meet any charge which might t e
brought against him. _ _

THE CORN TRADE.
BRITISH.

The comparatively high value which wheat has lately
attained has (as we expected would be the case) induced
farmers to thrash pretty freely, and large supplies have
been brought forward at many of the leading markets in
the agricultural districts. Until within the last fee
weeks the quantity returned as sold weekly at the towns
which furnish the materials for making up the general
average for the kingdom rarely exceed 100,000 qrs..
whereas the two last returns are, respectively, 150,000
qrs. and 152,000 qrs. Large, however, as the deliveries
from the growers have been of late, the demand has
about kept pace with the supply; and very little altera-
tion has, consequently, taken place in prices. Publi(
opinion appears to incline as strongly as ever to the be-
lief that prices of wheat will be considerably higher
than they have yet been; and though the upward move-
ment has been checked by the increased quantity brought
forward, we doubt much whether any material fall from
present rates will take place. The extensive failure it.
the potato crop is a sufficient reason for coining to that
conclusion, even were there no other; but it is now ascer-
tained beyond doubt that wheat is the only kind of grain,
which has produced anything like an average return, al,
spring-sown corn and pulse having suffered so severe))
from the hot dry weather throughout the greater part
of the summer as greatly to detract from the yield.
Under these circumstances a very large importation of
foreign grain is sure to be required; and as many of our
continental neighbours are no better off than ourselves,
we shall have to pay dearly to induce them to supply
our necessities. For the present, however, a calm has
succeeded to the recent excitement; and at some few of
the leading markets a slight reaction has occurred in
prices.
From the western and north-western markets, the ac-
counts are also much less animated than they have been;
former prices were, however, tolerably well maintained
at Bristol on Thursday, and, excepting an abatement of
about ls. per qr. on wheat, very little change occurred at
Birmingham.
At most of the shipping ports on the east coast the de-
mand for wheat has been good; and though the supplies
brought forward have been liberal, good qualities of red,
weighing 62Ibs. to 631bs. per bushel, have not been sold
below 545. to 555. per qr. free on board. On the whole,
less impression seems to have been made in prices at the
different provincial markets, by the subdued tone of the
London advices, than might have been expected; and
there certainly does not appear much prospect of even a
temporary decline.
Our advices from Scotland inform us that the harvest
was fast drawing to a close even in the most backward
districts, and that the extraordinary fine weather hat;
enabled farmers to secure the grain in capital con-
dition; still the crops of spring corn would, it was esti-
mated, prove very short, and even wheat barely an ave-
rage. In regard to potatoes the reports from thence are
as bad as at any previous period, And though the in-
clination to buy wheat had been somewhat checked by
the rather dull accounts from the south, the article was
not quoted lower on Wednesday, either at Edinburgh or
Glasgow; while oats were held at enhanced rates at both
places.
The Irish letters are for the most part taken up with
speculations on the probable effects of the failure of the
potato crop. The disease seems to be even more general
there than on this side of the Channel; and oats, a crop
of very great importance in that country, are also repre-
' sented to have yielded considerably short of an average.
[lather increased supplies had, however, prevented any
further rise occurring in quotations of wheat.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have
been only moderate; and the show at Mark-lane by
land carriage samples from the home counties has been
small. The averages are beginning to show the effects
of the recent great rise in th value of wheat; the last
general return for the kingdom was 505., and that for
London 545. per quarter. Either on Thursday next, or
the following week, the duty will recede a step; and,
from present appearances, we are inclined to think that
it will continue to fall until it reaches the lowest point
in the scale. This is, however, now comparatively of
little importance, as there are no stocks of consequence
in bond; nor is there much prospect of foreign importa-
tions of magnitude, the French and Belgian markets still
offering better prices than Great Britain, and the bulk
of the pnrchases recently made at Baltic pc its have
therefore been for shipment to those countries, to the ex-
clusion of English buyers. Of foreign free wheat there
are still good stocks at this port; and somewhat more,
anxiety having lately been shown by holders to realise,
the extreme rates of last week have not been supported
Both on Wednesday and Friday the transactions were
,f a retail character, and it was necessary to give way a
trifle to induce purchasers to come forward. Bonded
parcels have been held so high as, in a great measure, to
check business. Orders continue to be received from
France, limited rather liberally; but the high preten-
sions of sellers have prevented their execution. Of the
7,504 quarters of wheat which have arrived from abroad
during the week, very little has been offered for sale
from on board ship, importers preferring to land in bond,
in expectation of higher prices hereafter.
The town bakers have not bonght flour quite so freely
during this as the preceding week; still there has been a
fair sale for the article at the lately enhanced prices.
The demand for American flour has also in some mea-
sure slackened, and, in partial instances, an' abatement
of 6d. per barrel from the extreme rates of last week has
been submitted to, to make sales. Good brands of
United States flour in bond have been inquired for at
275. per barrel for export; but holders having declined
accepting below 285., few bargains of consequence have
been closed.
The arrivals of English barley have not been large ;
the malaters having, however, 'determined not to follow
up their purchases at such high prices as those lately
paid, the trade in this grain has become dull, and the
trifling business done in new barley has been at slightly
reduced terms. Grinding qualities, whether of home or
foreign growth, have been held very firmly, and have
commanded fully as much money as on any previous
occasion.
Though malt has come to hand sparingly, the receipts
have proved about equal to the demand; and the value
of the article has remained almost stationary.
The market has been poorly supplied with English
and Scotch oats. A few thousand quarters have arrived
from Ireland, but, inclusive of 7,110 quarters from
abroad, the total supply up to this (Saturday) evening
has amounted to only 10,963 quarters. As is usually
the case when the market is bare, the principal dealers
have contented themselves with buying just sufficient to
satisfy their pressing wants. This they have succeeded
in doing without much difficulty at Monday's quota
tations; but unless supplies speedily come to hand, the
absolute scarcity of good oats will, we think, cause their
value to rise.
The consumptive demand for beans has, as yet
hardly commenced ; and as prices are regarded as some
what high for speculation, the business done in the ar
tide has not been extensive. Floating cargoes of
Egyptian beans might have been placid at 335. ; sellers
having, however, been unwilling to accept that price, few
parcels have changed hands. No English peas have come
forward since Monday, and prices must, therefore, be
quoted nominally, as before.
Indian corn has been held very high, which has in-
terfered with it) disposal ; for yellow, 40s. to 435., and
for fine white, 435. to 455. per quarter, has been asked,
On Thursday the duty fell to 3k. per quarter on
barley, rye, beans, and peas.
FOREIGN.

The CORONER remarked, that no doubt a few days
would decide the matter, and if Sergeant Parsons still
remained in custody he had no one to blame for it but
himself.

The proceedings in this protracted and truly mys
terious affair then terminated.

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION
AT THE CROYDON RAILWAY TERMINUS.
Between the hours of two and three yesterday morning
fire of a very fearful character, attended with a serious

destruction of property, broke out upon the Croydon
station of the London and Croydon Railway. From in-
quiries made during the progress of the fire it appears
that whilst one of the constables of lie P division was
passing the Fox and Hounds tave'en he perceived a dense
body of smoke issuing from, the lamp room of the ter-
minus. This satisfied the officer that a fire had broken
out, and without a moment's loss of time he raised an
alarm, but before any person had time to come to his
assistance the flames broke through the roof of the car-
riage depot, a spacious building upwards of 100 feet
long, aNd which was filled with carriages of the
first and second classes. Contiguous to this build-
ing- stood another erection, in which several other
carriages w. ere deposited. Fortunately the servants of
:he comptny and p.blice sicc.2etled in saving the contents

t'nis plaje ;.14, on ,e, ing the imminent danger to
which it was exposed, they pushed R train consisting of
several carriages out of it. Intelligence was immediately
sent to tho.ngine stations of the town ; and soon the
barrack and parish engines arrived. By this time the
old locomotive deyet was enveloped in fl:mes, and more
than a drzLm fir,t and second-class curriage‘ were on fire,
the flames from which illuminated the immediate dis-

In proportion as the prospects of Great Britain re-
quiring supplies of foreign grain increases, so do price,
advance on the Continent ; and it is now certain that to
obtain the quantity we are likely to want, it will be ne-
ces-ary to pay very high rates.
Letters from Dantrc of the 12th instant, ineorms us
that the finer qualities of wheat had become scarce there,
the old stocks having. been greatly reduced, and
only trifling supplies having come to hand from the
interior. Under these circumstances, holders had
declined selling at former rates, and 48s. 63. per quar-
ter, free on board, had been paid for high mixed
wheat, the growth of 1842, weighing 631bs. per
bushel ; whilst secondary qualities bad sold at equal to
465. 6d. to 475. 6d., and inferior sorts at 435. 6d. to 445. 6d.
per quarter, free on board. The purchase had been
principally on French and Belgian account, very little
having been taken for shipment to England. Freight
to the east coast of Great Britain was then 3s. 6d. to 4s.

.riot and a portion of the metropolis. This became a
speedi,,r m, sscriger than the intelligence sent, and several
London engines started for the place. The first that
arrived belonged to the West of Enqland Company, from
the Waterloo-road, under Mr. Connorton's direction: the
Watling-street brigade engine, with Mr. Braidwood,
was the next that came down, and Mr. Garwood followed
directly after with the County engine, from Regent- street.
For some time the greatest difficulty was experienced in
obtaining a supply of water, meanwhile the flames pro-
gressed with such rapidity, that before four o'clock both
the stations of the present atmospheric and the old loco-
motives presented an immense body of flame, which
roared as it issued from the several windows like a num-
ber of furnaces in full operation.
By leading the hose of the engines through the win-
dows, the military and firemen were enabled to pour
a limited stream of water upon the destructive element ;
but it had obtained too firm a hold to be easily extin •
guished, and carriage after carriage fell a prey to the
fury of the fire, and it was not until the whole of the
combustible articles in the two buildings were
burnt that the fire was subdued. The conflagra-
tion was only cut off just as it was attack-
ing the ticket station and booking-offices. Had the
flames here progressed only a few feet further before
they were stopped, the work of destruction would have
been far more serious than it really has been.
By eight o'clock the fire was so far subdued as to
allay all further apprehensions of its extension. By that
period, the old locomotive depOt was burnt down, an
immense number of first and second-class carriages
destroyed; the atmospheric carriage shedding was like-
wise consumed; the electric telegraph was also displaced,
and a large number of the sleepers on the line :fere
burnt, and the metal tramways were forcedint'', various
shapes, so as to prevent the regular transit of the trains.
The total loss must amount to severe ;thousand pounds
at the least ; and whether the pro-eerty was insured or
not we could not ascertain dur;ng the excitement which
prevailed.

; per qr. for wheat. Of spring corn none had come to
market market ; peas had been inquired for at 355. to 365. per
but there had been no sellers at those rates.
At namburgh, on Tuesday, wheat was held at very
high rates, good 621bs. red upland being then held at 535.,
and fine Wahren, of 62ilbs. weight, at 555. free on board.
The extravagant terms asked had prevented much
business being done, the English and French orders
having been limited too low to admit of their execution.
Sauk barley, on the spot, had been held at 355. per qr.,
but the sale had been very slow at that rate. Small
beans, to be shipped from the Jabde, had been held at
40s. to 415., and fine new upland peas at 465. to 475. per
qr., free on board.
In the Dutch markets prices of wheat had, according
to the most recent accounts, again begun to tend up-
wards ; and at Rotterdam, on Tuesday, the article was
in lively request at an advance of Is. per quarter, whilst
rye was quoted 25., and oats is per quarter higher than
on that day se'nnight.
In most of the southern and south-eastern countries of
Europe the urwa?d movement in prices of grain has
beer. more decided than in the northern markets, and
there is very little prospect of Great Britain receiving
supplies of wheat from the eastward of Gibraltar. We
may, however, calculate on rather large arrivals of In-
dian corn from the Mediterranean, some pretty extensive
purchases of the article having recently been made there
on English account.
Letters from Marseilles, of the 12th September, inform
us that Indian corn had been in brisk demand for ship-
ment, and that equal to 28s. 9d. per quarter, free on
board, had been paid.
At Genoa similar prices had, it appears, been paid;
and at Triest, on the 9th instant, its value had risen to
255. 7d. per quarter. A couple of vt siels had been
chartered at the latter port, to load for Liverpool, at 7s.
per quarter, 10 per cod. and 10 guineas gratuity.—
Mark Lane Express.

- The whole of ;:be cr:ariages destroyed were placed in
the station rerAy for the first passage this morning.
An inquiry
into the cause of the outbreak will be in-
stituted b the directors of the company this afternoon.
The %raffle of the line must of necessity be suspended
for v".ime time, on account of the rooting up of the rails
the fire.

Too much praise cannot be given to the superinten-
&las of the London engine establishments, and to the
West of England and County Companies, for their early
arrival at the scene of destruction.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, September 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE HAYNES.

the horse in question was handed over to him by a per-
son named Crutch, at the Sun Inn, Blackheath-hill, who
had agreed to purchase it after inquiry, and had paid a
deposit of ss. on account. Witness, from information
given, followed and apprehended prisoner in the Black-
heath-road.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt, who had carried on business as a wholesale
woollen draper in the City.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, on application to that
effect, adjourned the examination till the 26th of Nov.,
At twelve, to give the creditors an opportunity of inquiring
into an alleged excessive expenditure on the part of the

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Baron PLATT.)

THE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL-
WAY.—The trial of Clare, the engine-driver of the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, for manslaughter,
was appointed for Friday next.
FORGERY OF RAILWAY SCRIP. - John Bannister
Faulhner, who stands indicted, together with a pereon
named Bentham Fabian, with issuing forged scrip of the
Buckinghamshire or Bletchley and Oxford Junction
Railway, surrendered to take his trial this morning.
Bentham Fabian, who is charged with forging the scrip,
has absconded from his bail.

Faulkner pleaded not guilty to the indictment charg-
ing him with issuing the forged scrip with the intent to
defraud Leon Solomons, he well knowing it to be forged,
and having incited Fabian to forge it.
Mr. CLARKSON having stated the case for the pro-
secution,
Mr. BALLANTYNE submitted, on behalf of the pri
soner, that there was no case against him to go to the
jury, inasmuch as the instrument was not intended as a
receipt or acquittance for money, and therefore it did
not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament.
Mr. Justice MAULE said he would take a note of the
objection, but he thought the case should proceed.
The following witnesses were then called on behalt of
the proseeutios.
Edward Richards resided in Cavendish-square. Was
in the habit of transacting business with the firm of
Fabian and. Faulkner, share agents. The prisoner was
one of the firm. Witness had raised money on
Buckinghamshire Railway scrip for Mr. Fabian, to
whom he usually paid the money. Had left money at
the counting-house of Messrs. Fabian and Faulkner, and
sometimes saw the prisoner there. He always transacted
business with Fabian. Had previously to the 6th of
May last got money from Mr. Solomon upon Bucking-
hamshire Railway shares for Mr. Fabian. Could not
positively say whether he went to- Fabian and Faulkner's
office on the 6th of May. Recollected seeing them oa
that day, and Fabian saying there was necessity for
their raising money. Witness went up with Fabian to
Mr. Solomons to ask him if the scrip was left whether
he would advance more money on the scrip that day.
Solomons agreed to let them have the mcney on pro
ducing the scrip, and Fabian then went and fetched some.
The money was procured, and witness dined with the
prisoner on that day. Did not see the prisoner before
the transaction with Solomons.

John Crutch, coach-maker, Blackheath, deposed that
the prisoner called upon him about ten in the morning,
saying he had a horse, &c., for sale, the property of his
uncle, by whom he had been commissioned to dispose of
it. Witness agreed to the terms, and paid ss. on account
conditionally. He (witness) made inquiry, but could
hear nothing of the party referred to. He then went to
London with the prisoner to see his uncle, but his in-
quiries were unsatisfactory, and on their return to Black
heath -hill he gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in answer to Mr. TRAILL, replied that
he had nothing to say to the charge, except that he was
drunk at the time.

Mr. Crutch said the prisoner was not in liquor, and
that he knew perfectly well what he was about.

Mr. Attersley said he would prove that the prisoner
was seen to leave his yard mounted, at a quarter-past
three o'clock on the morning of the robbery, the horse
at the time wearing the harness, and gallop away. The
prisoner must have been secreted about the stables all
night. as the gates were closed and barred at elever
o'clock.

Mr. Thomas Clark, chemist and druggist, Blackheath-.
hill, identified a great coat, value about 41., which bad
been stolen out of his gig during the time the prisoner
was employed to assist in the stable. The coat hail
been sold by the prisoner to John Straw, another cab-
drive', for 175., and was traced by the police-constable to
Mr. Brown's, White Hart, in the Borough, where it had
been left.

The prisoner here pleaded guilty to takingithe great
coat.

Rapsey, the police-constable, said that another stolen
horse had been traced to the prisoner, taken from the
stable-yard of Mr. Walker, a hackney master, residing
in York-road. Lambeth.

George Young, of the Black Horse, Whitcchapel,
proved purchasing the horse of the prisoner. The wit-
ness disposed of it to Mr. Sammy, of Portland Town,
who deposed to again selling it to Mr. Tomlinson, of the
same place, for 61. 10s. .
The prisoner was committed for trial.
WANDS WORTH.

William Wilson was brought up for re-examination
upon a charge of embezzling varisas sums of money be-
longing to his employer, Mr. Cavenay, a milkman, and
corn and coal merchant, No. 1, Britannia-place, Wands-
worth-road.

It appeared that the prisoner was in the prosecutor's
service about two mon:hs, and almost from the first day
he commenced robbing him. The prosc cuter took the
prisoner without a. character, and when he had only been
a week out of prison, t►► which he had been committed
for six months for breaking into a dwelling-house.
Three distinct cases of embezzlement were proved
against the prisoner, who was committed to take his
trial at the present sessions of the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. CLARKSON said that they expected this witness
would have given very different evidence, and cleanly
shown that the prisoner was an accessory before the fact.
They had not evidence to carry the case further, and
therefore the prisoner must be acquitted.
The prisoner, under the Learned Judge's direction,
was acquitted on all the indictments charged against him.
Mr. CLARKSON said, that when the prisoner was taken
into custody a considerable sum of money was found
upon him ; he did not know whether the Court would
make any order with respect to it.
Mr. BALLANTYNE said, on behalf of the prisoner, that
he had no desire to keep any money that could be shown
to belong to Mr. Solomons.
Mr. Justice MAIILE said he would make no order on
the subject.
Wm. Postans was found guilty of attempting to utter
a bad half-sovereign, and having been previously son-
victed of a similar% offence, was sentenced by Mr. Baron
PLATT to seven years' transportation.

SEDITIOUS PUBLICATIONS IN

JERSEY.

(From the Jersey News.)
eur attention has been called to a large printed paper,
headed, in conspicuous characters, " Jersiais, Lisez ! !
purporting to be an extract from L'Epoque, Paris
journal, of the 9th September, 1846. The article con-
sists of four long columns, and its seditious and treason-
able character will he seen from the following summary
of it. It first alludes to the visit of her Majesty and
Prince Albert to Guernsey on the 24th August, and de-
clares that it was done with a political motive, " to
calm resentment, and to prepare the way for important
alterations, which it had been foreseen were not to take
place without resistance. This resentment was caused
by the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General P. W.
Napier, and the alterations in the destruction of the
national language, Franco-Normandie, the Norman
customs, to substitute the English laws." It then
states, hat " England had accomplished these altera-
tions as much as she could in Madras, Quebec, Malta,
Corfu, St. Lucia, and at the Mauritius, in spite of the
formal terms of treaties and capitulations; and argues,
that as Jersey is not a conquest, it only acknowledges of
the three powers of the Baitish empire, but one ; the
King or the Queen, and that only as Duke or Duchess
of Normandy." It then goes on to establish historically,
that the Channel Islands belonged to France, and then
enumerates their advantages, and continues, that " they
are situated nearer to France than England, too weak to
form by themselves two completely independent states,
in consequence of which they are obliged to acknow-
ledge the protectorate of one or the other country.
Their possession is of great importance in time of war ;
they have belonged to France, they have French man.
ners, French language, and laws ; England then has
been obliged to make it an El Dorado, to prevent them
throwing themselves into the arms of France. That
which has not been dared for eight hundred years with-
out almost incessant strife is wished to be now attempted.
Encouraged by peace, which has existed thirty years,
and which promises to last longer, the English Govern-
ment wishes to naturalise these old remains of an ex-
tinguished people, and assimilate them to England, in
regard to language and law." The writer then proceeds
to speak of the acts of the Lieutenant-Governor of
Guernsey, giving him plenty of abuse ; and continues in
a similar strain throughout.
Now. this article appearing in a Paris paper, would
have mattered but little, for none here either knows or
cares what L'Epoque may say, but it is quite another
matter when these sentiments are republished here for
the purposes of sedition and treason. If Jerseymen,
seeing, reading, and knowing the tendency of this ar-
ticle, have caused it to be printed, published, and ex-
tensively circulated, they have gravely compromised
themselves. To make it attractive it is headed, " Jer-
saiais Lisex !" and at the end is also in large charac-
ters, "Soyez sue vos garde; le s, rpesf est sous lee flews"—
Be upon your guard, the serpent is under the flowers.
This matter requires the immediate interference of our
authorities.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE,
Joseph Pierce was brought before the Lord Mayor
charged with having broken into the warehouse of Mr.
Colville, of No. 5, Little Friday-street, shawl warehouse-
man.

John Lawson Ure, warehouseman in the service of
Mr. Colville, stated that after having closed and lacked
up the premises for the night, after six o'clock on Tues-
day, he tried the door at half-past six, and found that
somebody from the inside resisted. Upon pushing the
door again he found the resistance gave way, and he
saw the prisoner inside. The prisoner had a parcel in
his hand, which he said was for Mr. Nicholson. Wit-
ness not knowing any person of the name referred to
took the parcel, but took hold of the prisoner, who at-
tempted to escape, and gave him into the custody of a
policeman.
The LOAD MAYOR---How long before you saw the
prisoner bad you locked the door ? Witness.—l locked
it in the inside about three minutes before I saw him.
Nothing was removed from the warehouse.
Mr. Colville stated that he had never seen the pri-
soner before to his knowledge. He saw the last witness
lock the door as had been stated.
The policeman into whose custody the prisoner had
been given, said that the prisoner stated, upon being ap-
prehended, that he found the warehouse open, and went
in to shut it. Ire had a brown paper parcel under his
arm, which he said contained a bag. Witness then took
from the prisoner's hand a skeleton key, and immediately
afterwards conveyed him to the station-house, and was
proceeding to search him, when he said it was quite un-
necessary. The prisoner then produced three Urge
bags, a screw-driver, a dark lantern, and lucifer matches,
a knife, and a second skeleton key of larger dimensions
than that found upon his person when in the warehouse,
and which would have opened the outside door if it had
been necessary. He had also in his possession a piece of
linen, so that he had no doubt made every preparation
for taking out a good quantity of property. The smaller
skeleton key unlocked the door within, behind which the
prisoner had been found by the warehouseman.
Ibl LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, how do you account for
this ? The prisoner (carelessly)—l thought the ware-
house was empty, and seeing the door open, 1 went in
and shut it. That's all.
The LORD MAYOR—And what did you want with the
dark lantern and the lucifer matches ? The prisoner—
Only to light my pipe.
The prisoner was th en committed for trial to Newgate.
GUILDHALL.
A shoemaker, named Poyser, who seems also to carry
OR the business of an accountant and land-agent, was
brought up in custody from Nottingham (his place of
residence), and was charged with daring and heartless
frauds upon Mrs. Rachel Woodhouse, a widow lady, of
the same town.
It appeared from the evidence which Mr. Clark, the
solicitor for the prosecution, was able to produce to-day,
that the family of Stokes, in Nottingham, of whom Mrs.
Woodhouse is the principal surviving member, lay claim
to be descended from the Rev. Jonathan Stokes, who
died in the year 1700, and is supposed to have left a very
large fortune. The prisoner represented that he could
put the prosrcutrix in the way of recovering the fortune
To which she was intitled, and which he assured her he
had ascertained to be at least equal to half a million.
Upon this pretence be obtained on one occasion 201., on
another 501., and at various times sums to the amount of
more than 1001, which the lady raised by the sale of a
small property. The prisoner from time to time pro-
duced to her letters, purporting to be addressed to him
by a Mr. Fitzgerald Strachan, a barrister, reporting the
favourable progress of the suit, and at length announcing
that it was decided in favour of the prosecutrix and her
relations, who were accordingly invited to meet their
barrister and trusty agent at the London Tavern, on the
28th of July last, there to receive the first payment of
100,0001., and to arrange for taking possession of the
immense landed property to which their claim had now,
happily, been established. This last letter added that
the barrister's cash was exhausted, and that he would
require 501. to be advanced forthwith, in order to pre-
vent the otherwise unavoidable delay of three or four
weeks in drawing the large sum of 100,000/. out of the
Funds, where they were to the credit of his client. The
501. was paid, the happy family came to London, but after
three weeks costly delay in the London Tavern, they
returned to Nottingham without having seen or heard
anything of the barrister, the prisoner, or the money.
Mr. Poyser, however, on being reproached afterwards
by Mrs. Woodhouse's brother with having deceived
them, said that he would make it all right yet, if they
soul// raise another 101. He continued to hold out hopes
for some time longer that he would obtain the expected
fortune for the claimants, until his dupes were advised
togive him into custody, and prefer a charge of obtaining
money under false pretences in this court, as it was in
Basinghall-street the first sum of 201. was paid to him
upon the faith of the forged letters.
Mr. Alderman HUMPRERY said that there could be
no doubt whatever that the letters written in the name
of the barrister were in the handwriting of the pri-
soner, and that he had committed a scandalous fraud
on the poor lady, whose health of mind and body had
suffered much from his conduct.
He was remanded for a week.
SOUTHWARK.
Catkerine Connel, a showily-dressed woman, was
charged before Mr. Seeker with robbing Edmond Wal-
ters, a corporal in the Royal Artillery, of a purse con-
taining 51. 12s. Bd. It appeared that the complainant
met the prisoner near London-bridge, on his way
to the terminus, and was induced to accompany
her down an obscure court. A policeman, however, on
duty near the spot, knowing the prisoner to be a noto-
rious thief, and seeing that she and the corporal were
closely followed by a man, her associate, he watched
them. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was seen running
away, and being stopped by the policeman, she dropped
a purse at her feet, which, being picked up, was found
to belong to the complainant, out of whose trousers'
pocket she had taken it. She had not time to have
given the purse and its contents to the man who fol-
lowed her.
In the course of the examination it was stated that
the prisoner had been in custody a short time since for
robbing a man in the City, and on that occasion she was
convicted.
The prisoner, who cried aloud during the examination,
was committed for trial.
GREENWICH.
HORSE STEALING.—John Johnson, a cab driver, re-
siding on Blackheath hill, was brought before Mr. Trail!,
charged with stealing a gelding and harness, the pro-
perty of William Attersley, hackney master, of No. 73,
Strutton-ground, Horseferry• road, Westminster, and also
a horse, the property of W. Walker, of Yolk-road,
Lambeth, cab proprietor.
Mr. Attersley identified his horse, which was safe in
the stable on the night of Monday fortnight last, after
the gates had been closed and barred.

It is stated that a meeting of the British residents is
contemplated, to express their abhorrence of the above
infamous publication—at which all loyal Jerseymen will
be requested to attend.

VAUXHALL.—The proprietors of the " Royal Pro-
perty" have opened their gardens to the public at Is.,
with the same entertainments that have been received
throughout the season with much favour ; they are
crowded every evening.
WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE !—Last week, a
Highlander, from above Inverary, called at the cffice
of a highly respectable steamboat company, and told the
clerk that he owed them eighteenpence, having cheated
one of their captains in that amount in his fare, about
three years ago. Donald was told never to mind the
matter, and to keep the money. This he would not
listen to, exclaiming, " 0 gudesake, no. I hae na been
able to sleep in my bed far a whole year aboot it." He
then tabled the Biller, and hastily left the counting-house,
saying to himself, as he retired, " Gude be thankit, I
hae got it aff my conscience at last."—This is a good
example to Highlanders in general, and we hope it will
be generally followed.—Glasgow Auto.
BEQUEST TO THE SINKING FUND.—The late Mr.
John Ashton, of Newton Bank, near Ilyde, in Chester,
a wealthy and extensive cotton manufacturer, of Man-
chester, has bequeathed to the Manchester Royal Infir-
mary a legacy f 5,000/., and, after leaving large be-
quests to his family and others, leaves the residue of his
personal estate, which is considerable, to the Commis •
simers of the Sinking Fund, for the reduction of the
national debt. The residue is augmented by the falling
in of a legacy of 20,000/., left to Mr. W. Wright, his con
fidential clerk, and whom he had constituted an executor,
but who died onlra short time previous to the testator,
leaving a wife and family to deplore the loss of their sole
protector, and the promised reward which seemed
within their grasp, for a whole life devoted by this
persevering man to the interests of the several firms
enumerated by the testator in his will, through which
this trustworthy manager had conducted the busi-
ness. It is to be hoped that this intended bequest,
as " a reward for faithful services,* will meet with
favour from the Lords of the Treasury, as the sum
coming to the Governmect independent of this lapsed
legacy is very considerable, and has much increased
since the will was made in 1836. The testator has
directed that all money out on mortgage shall also fall
into the personal estate. There is a legacy of 1,0001. to
the son of Mr. Wright, who is a clerk in the concern, and
legacies to the other clerks and to the servants connected
both with the business and his private establishment; to
Frederick Slowe he leaves 1,0001., as a token of regard
for his faithful services whilst in his employ; to Mr.
John Barker 5.0001. He leaves in trust for his
daughter 25,0001., and also an annuity until she is
of age. To his brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton 500/. a year.
To his brother Mr. Samuel Ashton, and his sisters Miss
Jane Ashton and Mrs. Mary Tucker, 25,000/. each.
There are legacies to many of his relations on the
maternal side. He devises and bequeaths to his
brother, Mr. Robert Ashton, all his messuages, build-
ings, factories, warehouses, lands, tenements, herdita-
ments, and all the freehold, leasehold, and copyhold
estates, and all the steam engines, apparatus, and
machinery absolutely. Besides the property in Chester
and Manchester, for which a separate grant of probate
has issued, there has been 80,0001. administered to in
London by the surviving executor, Mr. Robert Ashton

A RAILWAY HUNT AFTER A SUNDAY'S DINNER.—
A gentleman of Liverpool, who is residing temporarily
in the vicinity of Bromborough, sent a parcel on Satur-
day evening to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway
Office, in James- street, containing a joint for Sunday's
dinner, clean linen, shaving tackle, and other necessaries,
with directions to be kept until ho booked for Brombo-
rough himself. The parcel was directed to that place.
On arriving at the office, he was told, to his dismay, that
the parcel was sent forward by the previous train,
and would, no doubt, be found either at Birken-
head or Bromborougb. When he reached Birken-
head he made inquiries after his lost treasures in
vain, they must be at Bromborough, he was told;
but in case of so unfortunate a mishap as their
having gone on to Chester, the clerk said he would
write to the station, and his parcel should be
duly returned next morning. He met, accordingly,
the half-past eight train, but no mutton, clean shirt, or
razor, there awaited him. He stayed till ten ; but that
train he was told would not stop unless he booked to go
by it to Liverpool. lie paid his ninepence accorilinoy.
Still no parcel. His next despairing resolve was to go
by the train he had paid for to Birkenhead, and went
accordingly, but was equally unlucky. " Try the
Liverpool station," urged the clerk. Our dinner-hunter
found, however, that there would then be no time to
return till two in the afternoon. "Go on to Chester,"
suggested the clerk. Our hero, however, preferred re-
turning to 13,-(mhorough again, where a man having been
dispatched forth to Chester, his lost dinner, &c., reached
him at two o'clock. A less persevering individual
wou'd perhaps have been less successful iu stirring up
the drowsy eaergies of the various railway officials con-
emed,—Raieway Standard.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CORNEXCIIA.NOE.
- The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday having been
on a very moderate scale, the show of samples of that article
here was small. Fine dry qualities moved off freely at fully
the late advance in the quotations. In the middling and
inferior kinds a steady business was doing at late rates. Free
Foreign Wheat, the show of which was small, was in fair
request at extreme currencies. Bonded Grain was in-
quired for, but owing to the firmness on the part
of the holders, the transactions in it were trifling.
➢salting Barley commanded a ready sale, but all other qua-
lities were much neglected. We had a good demand for
Malt, the value of which had an upward tendency. Oats
