subpoenaed to produce them, and he how produced two
of Mr. Young's letters; one of them he believed was the
one they wanted, which had only Mr. Young's initials on
it—the other was a private letter, but he brought it to
prove the handwriting. He knew the initials "T. Y."
and "H. 0." These initials stand for Thomas Young,
of the Home-office, and it came in a Home-office frank.
Witness received it on the 26th June, 1832. Witness had
taken a great part in political agitation at that time at
Bath and Devizes. Ho was an advocate for the Reform
Bill. Witness replied to this communication.
Sir COLMAN O'LooHLEN—Now will you state what
that communication was?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to this question.
No statement had been made of this evidence to him—
it had not been opened by Mr. Whiteside; and he
thought a private correspondence with Mr. Young,
which occurred sixteen or seventeen years ago, had
nothing to do here.
Chief Justice BLACHEURNE—I don't admit it.
Mr. FITZGERALD—But, my Lord, this will be a matter
of history.

Sir COLMAN OTOGHLEN—AIIow me to remind your
Lordship that in the case of Horne Tooke the Duko of
Richmond was called to give evidence as to a letter, in
which he advised the very course which the prisoner
took. The present is evidence of a similar nature, to
show the acts done in similar cases by public men.
Chief Justice DOHERTY—But was not this letter
written on the very question for which the prisoner was
tried?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL —ln the very case, my
Lord.

The COURT then over-ruled the question, and the
witness was directed to withdraw.

Mr. FITZGERALD intimated that the evidence for the
prisoner had now closed.
The Court adjourned about half-past six till ten
o'clock to-morrow, when Mr. Fitzgerald will be heard
for the prisoner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.

Yesterday being appointed for the further, and, it was
supposed, the final examination of Mrs. Linfield and
others, charged on the coroner's warrant with having
caused the death of ElizA Wilson, the court was crowded
to excess. When the case was called on, however, Mr.
Norton was infor ed that the prisoner, Mrs. Dryden,
was so seriously ill at Horsemonger-lane gaol as to be
usable to undergo an examination, or indeed being re-
moved from that prison, for the present, and under the
circumstances, the magistrate remanded the prisoners to
a future day.
_ _

Mr. Games applied for the liberation of the prisoner,
William Lin&ld, on bail. His Worship, he said, had
consented, on the last examination, to admit that per-
son to bail in two sums of 50/ each, but he could not
find persons to undertake for so large an amount, and
he, therefore, hoped his Worship would lessen the
amount.

Mr. NORTON consented to reduce the sum to 201. each,
which was the lowest sum he could think of.
The prisoners were then remanded.

THE LATE FIRE IN ST. Swrrntres-LANE.--Yester-
day morning Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquiry
into the causes of the fire which occurred on the morn-
ing of Sunday last, on the premises of Mr. George
Newell Hussey, hairdresser, of No. 7, St. Swithin's-lane.
It appeared that between two and three o'clock on the
morning of Sunday last, sparks and volumes of flame
were discovered by the policeman on duty proceeding
from the chimney of the premises, and as it was noto-
rious that no fire had been in any stove in the house
since ten o'clock on the preceding night, and as no per-
son slept on the premises, some curiosity was excited as
to the origin of the, fire. Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the
Fire Brigade, now stated circumstances which fully ac-
counted for the accident, and which at the same time
should act as a caution to householders where flues have
been arched or otherwise blocked up. He said that at the
back of a cupboard in the shop there had originally been
a flue communicating with the basement, and also with
the very top of the house. That flue had been cut away
to form a cupboard, and the place where the flue from
the floor above joined in had not been properly blocked
up. His opinion wAs, that lighted soot had fallen from
the first floor flue into the cupboard, which captained
essential oil and other inflammable substances. 'Hence
the origin of the conflagration. After hearing further
evidence, the Coroner summed up, and remarked upon
the neci,ssity for giving publicity to the causes of these
frightful accidents, in order to act as a caution to the
public. The proper construction of the flues in a dwell-
ing-house was a matter of the utmost importance. The
jury found, in accordance with the views of the Learned
Coroner, that the fire was the result of accident.
THE LATE FIRE, HENLEY• ON-THAMES. On
Thursday morning a jury was assembled at Lashbrook,
before Mr. J. H. Cooke, one of the coroners for Oxford-
shire, to inquire into the circumstances attending the
deaths of the two unfortunate persons, whose lives were
sacrificed by a fire in a cottage on Lash brook Farm.
After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict of
accidental death in each case.
PERSEVERANCE REWARDED:-.-AbOUt the beginning
of last week, a poor unemployed weaver, residing in the
country, went out to try his fortune with a basket of
eggs, which having been speedily disposed of realised
the sum of 4s. 9d. On his way home he expended his
money on small wares, which next day, having sold to
advantage, tripled the original amount. Encouraged by
his success, he again spent his money on a lot of old
books, amongst which were the works of Shalcspere,
Burns, and Milton, for which alone he received nearly
21., and his whole stock cleared about 31. 12s. A third
time he hazarded his money in the purchase of light
trinkery, and in the course of six days, from a few dozen
eggs, he carried to his distressed and impoverished
family the handsome sum of 9/. We have occasion to
know this poor but honest weaver, who, urged by sheer
indigence and a spirit of assiduity, gives to the world
a bright example that perseverance may be rewarded.—
Glasgow Examiner.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--A Gentleman Regained the
Use of his Limbs by the Effect of Holloway's Ointment
and Pills.—Mr. John Cock, a highly respectable gentle-
man residing at Madron, near Penzance, has been con-
fined to his house for a considerable period from a fear-
ful attack of paralysis. Ile had recourse to the best
medical aid but to no purpose,'as in such cases the usual
treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon
using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise
of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful
medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and
the complete use of his limbs. These valuable medicines
are sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
establishment, 244, Strand, London.
