CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the-REcoaDEL)
The Court this morning sat at nine o'clock to pro-
ceed with the trial a prisoners, and adjournedshortly.
before ten o'clock, in order to enable the Recorder to
attend the London Adjourned Sessions. It was
stated that the Learned Judge would return at eleven
o'clock, but the jury and witnesses in attendance..
were kept waiting for nearly two hours and, a. half,..
the Learned Recorder not taking his seat till a quar-
ter past twelve.

ROBBERY-RECEIVING STOLEN Goons.—Frede."
rick Butler, 20, a labourer, Frederick Thomas, 17, a.
painter, and Thomas Livermore, 18, a plasterer, were
indicted with stealing a time-piece, value 61., the pro.,
party of Frederick Pratt Barlow, in his dwelling-
house, and other goods, the property of other persons;
and Joseph Hollis, a hawker, was indicted with felo-
niously receiving part of the same goods, well know-
ing them to have been stolen.
Butler, Thomas, and Livermore pleaded guilty,
and Hollis having pleaded not guilty, was placed upon
his trial.

Mr. BALLAN TINE conducted the prosecution, and
from the statements of the Learned Gentleman, and
the evidence adduced, it appeared that the house of
Mr. Pratt Barlow, in Kensington-square, being under
repair in December last, the prisoners Livermore and
Thomas were employed there as plasterers and
painters. On Saturday the 18th of December, one
of the servants of Mr. Barlow requeited the prisoner
Thomas to take care of the house for her, and when
she left the robbery was concocted and perpetrated
on the next day (Sunday), and the receiving.of the
stolen property by Hollis was clearly proved by a
female named Hamilton, with whom the prisoners,
Thomas and Lawrence, associated.
Hollis, in his defence, said that he was not aware
that the property was stolen, and that Hamiltcin had
implicated him in order to endeavour to exenlpate
himself.
The RECORDER summed up.
The Jury found Hollis Guilty, and
The RECORDER—HoIIis having been twice pre..
viously convicted—sentenced him to 14 years' trans..
portation, and Butler, Thomas, and Livermore to I
years' transportation.

NETir COURT.

(Before Mr. Alderman Gross, and Mr. Commissioner

BULLOCK.)
E,lward Henley and John Hornbuchle, two youths,
were indicted with stealing from the house of Mrs.
Sarah Reeve, Buckingham•place, Fitzroy-square,
bed tick, value 6d., and a piece of copper,, value ss.
It appeared, that the articles in question were missed
on the evening of the 31st of December, and it being
supposed that the parties who had committed the
robbery were in the house, search was- m ade, and the
two prisoners were found in the'viater c 1( met with the
bed tick and copper in their possessio.
Henley had been previously convicted of felony.
The jury found both the prisoners Guilty,
Henley was sentenced to seven years' transportation,
and Hornbuckle, in consequence of his previouegood
character, to imprisonment for three calendar months,
with hardalabour.
Two young men, named Machin and Evans,
were indicted wi h stealing, on 11th D ecember, bee
tween six and seven in the morning, two sacks of
potatoes from the shop of Mr. Bosonxworth, potato
salesman, in the Borough Market.
The prisoner Machin, it appeared, yeas seen .by a
porter at the market to put the sacks .upon his back,
and carry them to a cart which belonged to the other
prisoner Evans, and which was waiting in the neigh-
bourhood. The prisoners having placed the sacks in
question into the cart, they drove away. On being
apprehended they both denied stealing the potatoes.
There was only one witness to substantiate the
charge against the prisoners, and the jury did not
think that sufficient to justify them in finding a ver-
dict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE concurred in that 'opinion.
A verdict of Not Guilty was then returned.

LOSS of HER MAJESTY'S STEAM-

FRIGATE AVENGER.
Ceylon, at Malta, Dec. 30, 1847.
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY.

Sir,—lt is with great regret I enclose for the in-
formation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty a copy of a letter to Sir AV. Pather, and enclo-
sures, acquainting,him of the unfortunate and melan-
choly loss of her Majesty's steam-frigate Avenger
(for I fear, by Lieut. Rooke's statement, there are
few, if any, survivors), at 10 le ad., on the 20th
instant, on a reef near the Island. of Galita, on her
passage to Malta, that island bearing, as appears by
Lieut. Rooke's letter, N.E. distant twelve miles; a
copy of which is enclosed to the Vice-Admiral. This
reef I consider to be the Sorelli Rocks, which lay
about that distance from Galita.

I beg to acquaint their Lordships that on receiving
the intelligence on the 28th, I Instantly dispatched the
Hecate with cable, hawser, stores, &c., to render
every assistance ; but I fem too late, as the Ariel
yacht, which has arrived here, passed off the Cane
Rocks, and for nearly the whole day of the 25th
instant, parts of a recent wreck, bulwarks, tubs, &c.,
the bulwarks being painted like those of the Avenger,
and I am informed that several parts of the wreck
were not more than ten feet long. The only hope I
have is that the vessel sent from Tunis may have
arrived in time to save any survivors of the crew ; but
as four days had elapsed between the date of the wreck
(the 20th) and these vessels leaving Tunis, it is much
to be doubted.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humbte servant,
LUCIUS CURTIS,
Rear-Admiral and Senior Officer Matti!

YICE.ADMIRAL SIR WILLIAM PARKER, COMMANDER..

IN-CHIEF, BART., AND G.C.A.

Sir,—lt is my painful duty to report to you the
wreck of her Majesty's steam-frigate Avenger,
Captain Charles E. Napier, at ten o'clock on
the 20th instant, on a reef between the Island of
Galita and the mainland on the coast of Africa, the
Island of Galita bearing N.E. about ten or twelve
miles, and I enclose the letter of Lieutenant Francis
Rooke, of that ship, which came under cover to you,
reporting this unfortunate occurrence, and his arrival
at Tunis; as also a letter from Sir Thomas Reade,
addressed to you thereon, and the measures adopted
for rescuing the officers and crew if possible.
On the receipt of the above- mentioned letters, on
the 28th instant, by a Tunisian merchant brig, which
had been sent from Tunis by Sir Thomas Reade with
the intelligence, I instantly dispatched the Hecate,
Commander Moorman, with hawsers and stores, to
render every assistance, to ascertain the state of the
Avenger, and heave her off, if practicable, but if
found impracticable, then to save as many of the stores

seas broke over her, the masts and funnel having
gone. I waited close to, her about one hcur and a
half, when the wind aid sea increasing, and our crew
exhausted, I, with the opinion of the rest, thought the
only course and the best would be to seek assistance,
the wind being fair for Galita; when near the island
the wind shifted round, and being obliged to keep
before it, I then ran back towards the ship, but the
wind still coming round, I kept away for the African
shore. The wind and sea had increased greatly, and
I thought it impossible for the boat to live. She had
a close•reefed mizen, and we steered with oars. I
beached her, there being little or no shelter. She up-
set in the breakers, when four of us reached the shore,
the others losing their lives in the attempt; we should
have done the same, but an Arab herdsman saw our
boat and came down, took us to his house, gave us
milk, and a large fire. Next morning we started on
foot for Biserta, distant about thirty-five miles, with
our host as guide, travelling as long as we could
walk; when, after a few hours rest, I prevailed on
some Arabs to give us horses to Biserta. From there
our Consul gave me a boat to Tunis, there being
nothing large enough to go to the ship in. We
arrived at Tunis last night at 12 P.M., when I imme-
diately sent for our Consul, who came and began
preparing two feluccas for me, there being no steamer
here. I called this morning on the Consul-General,
Sir Thomas Reeves, who is forwarding my views in
every way. The Bey of Tunis has placed at my
disposal one of his brigs and two gun-boats,
and I hope to be under weigh with them by two
P.M. The French steamer, which is hourly expected
will follow, I shall search Galita and go to the wreck.
Horsemen will be sent along the African coast, and
you may rest assured, Sir, every thing possible shall
be done, although I do it more as a duty than think-
ing of saving the men, for both wind and sea were
very high on Tuesday. If I can hear or see nothing
of the ship, I shall then proceed to Malta to give
further particulars.—l remain, Sir, &c.,

he hears a voice among the leaves calling out
" Follow, follow, thou shalt win." Acting upon the
suggestion, he escapes from court with his two
friends, Cyril and Florian, and hastens to the
palace of King Gams. Here the mystery of the
refusal is explained. The Princess is distraught
with a fantasy that " the woman is an equal to the
man: She resolves to reclaim her sex from its imme-
morial degradation, and, aided (or rather instigated)
by two widows, Lady Psyche and Lady Blanche, she
founds a college in a portion of her father's domi-
nions where his kingdom adjoins that of the royal
father of her betrothed. The college is for females
only ; man is forbidden to enter its precincts under
pain of death, and the Princess Ida condemns herself
and her associates to celibacy until such time as so-
ciety shall be regenerated through her endeavours.
Notwithstanding his agreement with his daughter,
Gama is so prepossessed by the bea,ring of the young
Prince, that he grants himland his companions pass-
ports to the forbidden boundaries. On arriving at
those boundaries, however, the three adventurers are
rather chagrined at the obstructions raised against
their further progress by the tattle of an old inn-
keeper :

He had mourned " where Claribel low lieth," and
had detailed even the most negative phases in the
loveliness of Madeline—
" Frowns perfect-sweet along the brow
Light-glooming over eyes divine
Like little clouds sun-fringed, are thine,
Ever-varying Madeline."
He had even taunted the haughty symmetry of Lady
Clara Vere de Vere with that bitter rejection—
" Nor would I break for your sweet sake
A heart that doats on truer charms.
A simple maiden in her flower
Is worth a hundred coats of arms."
He had pictured " shadowy, dreaming Adeline" in
the light of a morning " dripping with Saban
spice ; he had pencilled the " deep ambrosial smile"
of Eleanore coming " slowly as through a cloud of
gold ;" he had hinted the unutterable love of Fatima
in her exclamation—
" I will grow round him in his place,
Grow, live, die looking on his face,
Die, dying clasp'd in his embrace."
He had pourtrayed the woes of (Enone, the joys of
The May Queen, and " the gleaming shape" of
,The Lady of Shalott. His fancy had even gazed
down at the Mermaid " in the purple twilights
under the sea," and had tracked Godiva in her pil-
grimage when, clothed only in chastity, " her pal-
frey's footfall shot light horrors through her pulses."
He had lingered over the description of Lady Clare
clad in a russet gown " with a single rose in her
hair," ever the abiding truthfulness of Dora, and over
the dainty graces of Lady Flora while " her dewy
sister-eylids lay dreaming on her damask cheek." Even
in "The Beggar Maid " he had, like King Copbetua,
looked lovingly on "her dark hair and lovesome mein ;"
and, 'when thin king of Queen Guinevere, he had, like
Sir Launcelot, longed
" To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips."
In the aspect of " The Sleeping Beauty" he had re-
cognised " a perfect form in perfect rest, and in that
of the Lady of Burleigh he had depicted, with an in-
describable grace, the timidity of a village maiden.
Then, again, in the picture of Rose, the gardener's
daughter, he had shown the full day dwelling on her
brow and "sunning her violet eyes ;" while in the
sketch of Alice, the Miller's Daughter, he had lin-
gered over the loveliness of her " ripe mouth," and
had exclaimed with tender simplicity—
" Untouch'd with any shade of years,
May those kind eyes for ever dwell !
They have not shed a many tears,
Dear eyes, since first I knew them well."
After all these bewitching delineations, it will scarcely
be credited that the original intention of Mr. Tenny-
son's new poem appears to have been satirical towards
the whole race of women. "The Princess," indeed,
seems to be the development of an idea which was

pain—
Nature made them blinder motions bounded in a shallower
brain ;
Woman is the lesser man, and all thy passions match'd
with mine,
Are as moonlight unto sunligl t, and as water unto wine."
Those who may peruse only the commencement of
" The Princess" will be puzzled at the invidious
light in which women are portrayed by one
whose principal celebrity has been acquired as
their panegyrist ; it will seem to them a very bewil-
dering anomaly that women should be subjected to
the deliberate sarcasm of Alfred Tennyson, of that
exquisite lyrist who had immortalized so many angel
faces, embalming their beauties in the amber of his
song, and who had associated his own name so inti-
mately, with those of his creations—Lilian, Mar-
garet Isabel, Madeline, Eleanore, CEnone, Claribel,
Adeline, Rose, Alice, Oriana, Lady Clara Vere de
Vere, Fatima, Dora, Mariana, Lady Clare, the May
Queen, Lady Flora, the Li)? of Shalott, Godiva,
Alice, the Beggar Maid, the Sleeping Beauty, Queen
Guinevere, and the Mistress of Burleigh, "Burleigh
House by Stamford town." Such is nevertheless tha

THE DOUBLE MURDER.
A CONFESSION FROM THE MURDERESS.
The remains of the two children (Blake) murdered
by Harriet Parker, i. .n Cupid's-court, Golden-lane,
were yesterday burned at,. St. Luke's. The father
had separated from his wife, and was living with
Parker. They both however, yesterday, followed
The husband has re-
their children to the grave.
ceived a letter from the Rev. George Jepson, chap-
lain, containing a confession of Harriet Parker, re
apecting part of her former conduct towards Blake's
wife, from which the following is an extract:—
" House of Detention, Jan. 7, 1848.
'` Robert Blake, —I am requested by Harriet
Parker to write to you, and express from hern
the
regret she feels at the cou
e of life she has led in
She "ion with yourself during the last three years.
wishes to remind you of a letter you received
soon after
tstingi
r
your separation from your wife, insin-
thatt,he stating, that she had been unfaithful, and
was not child
to which she was about to give birth
Your own. Harriet Parker states that she
wrote that letter (or caused it to be written) in order
to confirm
the separation of yourself and wife ; that
the charm contained in it was false, and that she
never knew anything affecting your wife's character.
She now makes this statement as the only reparation
she can make to your inju d
re wife.,,

" He always made a point to post with mares ;
His daughter and his housemaid were the boys.
The land he understood for miles about
Was till'd by women ; all the swine were sows,
And all dogs
A happy thought recurs to the Prince—he and his
attendants will disguise themselves as females. Their
host obtains the " gear" for them, and they ride on-
wards to the college. On entering its streets, they—
" Could not hear each other speak for noise
Of clocks, and chimes, like silver hammers falling
On silver anvils, and the splash and stir
Of fountains spouted up and showering down
In meshes of the jasamine and the rose."
Having penetrated into this beautiful region, the
Prince writes a note to Lady Psyche (because she is
the prettiest and the best-natured), desiring to be
enrolled among her pupils. He disguises even his
penmanship, writing in a hand eminently feminine—
" In such a hand as when a field of corn
Bows all its ears before the roaring East."

At daybreak the three striplings are clad in acade
mic gowns of a lilac colour and zoned with gold;
they march forth " rich as moths from dusk cocoons"
to pay their obeisances to the Princess. Here Ida
enlarges upon the dignity of womanhood, speaking
not of—

" Lying stark,
Dishelm'd and mute, and motionlessly pale."
She sees—
`The haggard father's face and reverend beard
Of grisly twine, all dabbled with the blood
Of his own son."
sees the tenderness of Psyche for her infant;
seeing these things—
" Down thro' her limbs a drooping languor crept."
Her icy dream of domination is dissipated; she
yearns to participate in the common affections of
humanity ; she bids the belligerents welcome to the
hospitalities of her residence, and has the wounded
Prince conveyed into her palace, so that she herself
may become his physician and attendant. The
aspect of the College is altogether changed—
_ 4, The doors gave way
Groaning, and in the vestal entry shrieled
The virgin marble under iron heels."
Weeks elapse, and the Prince remains on the brink
of dissolution, and in the lap of unconsciousness :
" And twilight dawn'd; and morn by morn the lark
Shot up and shrilld in flickering gyres, but I
Lay silent in the muffled cage of life."
Through all this silence and oblivion he is tended by
the Princess Ida, and love for him grows up in her
heart while he is still in the swoon of mortal agony.
At length his recovery is sealed, and one evening he
awakes to consciousness. His eyes open at first to
the uncouth figures woven on the tapestry :
" I saw the forms: I knew not where I was:
Sad phantoms conjured out of circumstance,
Ghosts of the fading brain, they seemed ; nor more
Sweet Ida: palm to palm she sat: the dew
Dwelt in her eyes, and softer all her shape
And rounder show'd: I moved: I sighed: a touch
Came round my wrist, and tears upon my hand:
Then all for languor and self-pity ran
Mine down my face, and with what life I had,
And like a flower that cannot all unfold,
So drench'd it is with tempest, to the sun,
Yet, as it may, turns toward him, I on her
Fixt my faint eyes, and utter'd whisperingly:
If you be, what I think you, some swept dream,
I would but ask you to fulfil yourself :
But if you be that Ida whom I knew,
I ask you nothing: only, if a dream,
Sweet dream, be perfect. I shall die to-night
Stoop down and seem to kiss me ere I die.
" I could no more, but lay like one in trance,
That hears his burial talk'd of by his friends,
And cannot speak, nor move, nor make one sign,
But lies and dreads his doom. She turn'd: she paused;
She stoop'd ; and with a great shock of the heart
Our mouths met : out of languor leapt a cry,
Crown'd Passion front the brinks of death, and up
Along the shuddering senses struck the soul,
.And closed on fire with lda's at the lips ;
fell, and from mine arms she rose
over noble shame ; and all

For worship without end; nor end of mine,
Stateliest, for thee! but mute she glided forth,
Nor glanced behind her, and I sank and slept,
Fill 'd thro ' and thro' with Love, a happy sleep."

This passage would alone be sufficient to stamp the
volume with the signet of true poetry. It is delicate,
glowing, natural, eloquent, and impassioned. It is
worthy of Tennyson. It is worthy of him who had
already sung of the " Miller's Daughter"—
She spoke at large of many things,
adopfna
mor
apart,
s; e e ;
And turning look'd upon your face,
And rose, and with a silent grace
Approaching, press'd you heart to heart."
The single description we have given above would be
enough of itself to float a bulkier volume than " The
Princess. ' In a subsequent interview Ida bewails
her bygone folly, 'until, exclaims her lover,
" Her voice
Choked, and her forehead sank upon her hands,
And her great heart thro' all the faultful past
Went sorrowing in a pause I dared not break."
He reconciles his thoughts with hers as to the rela-
tive position of man and Woman. " Each fulfils" he
says,:
"Defect in each, and always thought in thought,
Purpose in purpose, will in will, they grow,
The single pure and perfect animal,
The two-cell td heart beating with one full stroke
Life."
In another part he argues that man and woman should
by communion assimilate to the better qualities of
each other, lie gaining in sweetness and moral eleva-
tion, and she in mental breadth and capacity—
,' TILL AT THE LAST SHE SET HERSELF TO MAN,
LIKE PERFECT MUSIC 'UNTO NOBLE WORDS."
Such is the moral, the purpose, the truth, the senti-
ment by " The Princess." ment procla -d lt is one well
adapted to the genius s). Tennyson, and not ill-cal-
culated to enhance his poetic reputation. In the nar-
ration of the main incidents he has pencilled many
dainty profiles, and struck out many dazzling meta-
phors. Even the infant out
" a double April
becomesold,becomes under his hand invested with a
charming individuality. Melissa, again, is henceforth
in his gallery of female portraits :
" A rosy blonde and in a college gown,
That clad her like an April dagodilly
(Her mother's colour) with her lips apart,
And all her thoughts as fair within her eyes
As bottom agates seem to wave and float
In crystal currents of clear morning seas."

intended for the protection of the public; but, good
God 1 what is the character of your crime as you com-
mitted it, when measured with reference to your duties
and to your unhappy victim's liabilities in the sight
of his Maker? Without preparation, without warn-
ing, with all his sins, if he had them, unthought of
by him, you sent him without the means of one mo-
ment's reflection or repentance before the judgment
seat of God, where his immortal soul must appear
before his Maker. Such is the crime of which you
are proved to be guilty; and there are circumstances
connected with it upon which it is impossible I could
forbear from noticing, for it was characterised by
circumstances of daring and audacity such as have
been seldom witnessed in the perpetration even of
murder. The assassination of which you are con-
victed was committed on the 22d of last September,
and on the 17th of the same month—five days pre-
viously—you attempted to commit a similar crime—
you attempted the life of the brother of the man whom
on the 22d you succeeded in slaying. After you
fired at Michael Kelly, and wounded him, you at-
tempted to escape from justice—you knew that the
officers of justice were in pursuit of you ; yet in the
neighbourhood of your own residence—in the neigh-
bourhood of the scene of your former outrage, in
which you wounded your victim, but fortunately did
not kill—you pounced upon the deceased at an early
hour in the evening. With, as I said, the officers of
justice in pursuit of you, you entered his dwelling in
which resided a number of persons—to whom you
knew you were known—and then you committed the
atrocious deed I have described. What could have in-
duced or encouraged you to commit such a crime under
such circumstances ? Murder is often committed under
circumstances in which the party guilty may hope
to escape detection in the silence and darkness of

DETENTION OF HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER ACHE-
RON.—A notice has been issued at the General Post-
office that her Majesty's steamer Acheron, with mails to
the Cape of Good Hope, Sydney (New South Wales),
and Auckland (New Zealand), appointed to have left on
the sth inst., will not leave for several days, having been
detained.

" Sleek Odalisques, or oracles of mode,
Nor stunted squaws of West or East; but she •
That taught the Sabine how to rule, and she
The foundress of the Babylonian wall,
The Carian Artemisia strong in war,
The Rhodope that built the pyramid,
Clelia, Cornelia, with the Palmyrene
That fought Aurelian, and the Roman brows
Of Agrippina."
Soon afterwards they hear a similar oration from
Lady Psyche, who sneers at the Salique laws, at
little-footed China, and at hlahomet. She maintains
that Elizabeth and others in arts of government,
Joan of Arc and others in arts of war, and Sappho
and others in arts of grace, " vied with any man."
When the lecture is completed Lady Psyche con-
verses with her new pupils, and while talking with
them detects her brother Florian through his masque-
rade. After a passionate scene of anguish and recri-
mination, they extort a vow of secrecy from Lady
Psyche on the understanding that they will fly, as
they came, almost immediately. Lady Blanche, how-
ever, " a double-rouged and treble-wrinkled dame,"
(a horrid old hell-kite, a sort of poetic Mrs. Pipchin !)
has detected the three interlopers, and re-
solves to betray them, if only to pay off
an old grudge against Lady Psyche. On
hearing of this, the adventurers resolve to depart
forthwith, but while they are planning their escape,
an invitation conies from the Princess to join her in a
geological and pleasure excursion. Love conquers
terror, and the Prince, Cyril, and Florian accompany
Ida in
her expedition. As they are journeying to-
gether through the valley, the Prince remonstrates
with Ida upon her vast attempt
" To assail this grey preeminence of man '

BEST TIME Fon KILLING ANIMALS.—It has lately
been discovered that the flesh of animals which are
killed in the middle of the night. will keep much longer
than it will when they are killed in the day time; and it
is for this reason preferred by those who prepare
potted melts. This circumstance is very singular; for
it proves that the flesh is fittest for keeping when taken
from the animal at the time when the respiration is
slowest and the temperature of the animal lowest. It

night, in a secluded place or on a lonely road, away
from the presence of witnesses, or in the presence of
witnesses to whom the perpetrators may not be
known ' • but what could have prompted you to have
entered a dwelling where you were known—where
you knew there were several who could identify you,
I cannot conceive; except a dreadful sense of im-
punity, arising from a hope that those who saw and
knew you would be afraid to come forward in a court
of justice and prove your guilt--and you were near
succeeding, for it transpired on this trial that one at
least of the persons who knew you,tand was in a con-
dition to prove you to be the criminal,
did at first, under the influence of fear, not
only refuse to speak the truth, but denied
it ; and another, one of the female witnesses,
hesitated—it is true but for a moment—but
she hesitated to fasten the charge on you at first.
While I refer to those circumstances of the outrage
of which you are proved guilty, it is hardly neces-
sary to say that your case alone, if their was no
other to be tried, would demand and justify the un-
usual interposition of the law by which this special
commission now sitting has visited your county. I
will not go at large into circumstances connected with
the state of the county of Limerick, and its condition
as affected by- outrages of this kind ; but there is one
observation I cannot forbear making. Who, I would
ask, was the victim in this instance ? A farmer, and
a farmer not of the wealthiest class. That is a cir-
cumstance which clearly indicates the true character
of the outrages that are now disgracing the coun-
try ; in fact, nothing can better show that they
are levelled not solely—perhaps I may say in the
result not chiefly—against those who possess rank
and wealth. These do not belong to John Kelly,
nor to that class to which John Kelly belonged ;
and if those crimes are not checked by the vigorous,
and prompt, and effective administration of the law
I think there is something in what has Occurred in
the exhibition which has been made in the course of
this trial, to show that the farmers of this county—
the class to which your victim belonged—that
not one of them can say that his dwelling_
that his health—that his family--that his pro-
perty, or his life, are not liable to such outrages
as this of which you have been found guilty.
The duty now devolves on me to pronounce on
you the awful sentence of the law. You sent Kelly
without delay or warning, to his last account. The
law will be more merciful to you, lie has been sum-
moned by your act to the presence of his Maker
without preparation ; you shall have ample time to
prepare for submitting your immortal soul to the in-

but as a light was still perceived within the building at
one o'clock, some alarm was excited. On opening the
church door the whole body of the church stood in a,
mass of flames. The conflagration proceeded with such
rapidity, that all hope of extinguishing it was at an end.
There was scarcely time to save some books and furni..
Lure of the church. The fire•engines were on t,he spot.
and every exertion was made to save thz noble edifice,
but without effect. The church and tower became a
seven
clock servicein t e beets
prey to the flames, and nothing remains but the walls.
Happily for the crowd who had assembled that the tower
fell inwards, and the clock, weighing 50011 u.. was buried
under the ruins. The church was built in 165'2, and has
been repaired only a few years since. The cause of the
fire has not yet been ascertained, but it was thought that
in putting out the fire in the stove, due care was not
Lulifsn to extinguish it completely. .

LONDON DOCK COMPANY.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was yester-
day held, at the offices of the company, London Dock
House, New Bank-buildings, for the purpose of de-
claring a dividend on the capital stock of the company
for the half-year ending the 21st instant, and also for
the election of a director in the room of George
Stuart, Esq., who had resigned, and for the transac-
tion of other business.
The chair was taken at one o'clock by John Casley,
Esq., the chairman of the company.
The notice convening the meeting having been
read, and the minutes of the last meeting confirmed,
The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report, from
which it appeared that the number of loaded ships
from foreign ports that entered the docks during the
six months ending the 30th Nov. had been 988, mea-
suring 260,792 tons. The number of loaded ships
which entered in the corresponding period of 1846
had been 703, measuring 181,136 tons. The amount
of earnings during the six months ending Nov. 30, had
been 229,1441. ss. 4d.; for the corresponding period
in 1846 the amount had been 209,1661. ss. sd. The
expenditure had amounted in the past six months to
the stun of 162,871/. 15s. 5d., and for the correspond-
ing period in 1846 to 118,1871. 3s. 7d. Of the in-
creased expenditure about 6,000/. consisted of an
increase in the payments for taxes. The income had
exceeded the expenditure by the sum of 96,272/.95. lid.
but of which sum the directors recommended to the
Court the payment to the proprietors of a dividend of
2} per cent. on the company's stock, amounting to
90,9571. 15s. 2d. The balance standing to the credit
of profit and loss was 300,2381. 10s. 9d., from which
anm was to be deducted the amount of dividend,
90,9571. 15s. 2d., leaving a balance in favour of the
company of 209,2801. 15s. 7d. Of the balance thus
remaining at the credit of profit and loss the sum of
187,0941. 9s. 2d., consisted of the amount of outstand-
ing charges due to the company on goods in the
warehouses. The stock of goods in the warehouses
on the 30th of Nov.last was 113,885 tons. At the same
period last year the quantity of goods was 112,205 tons.
The amount standing at the debit of new works was
96,811/. ss. 11d. The report concluded by the
directors recommending to the proprietors that the
sum of 75,0001. should be transferred from the
account to the credit of new works, whereby the
balance of the latter would be reduced to 21,811/.55.
lid. The new warehouses were at present all occu-
pied, and had been the means of materially increas-
ing the revenue of the company. The directors had
every reason to be satisfied with the portion of the
trade of London which found its way to the London
Docks, and they trusted that by a continuance of the
accommodation and security which they had so
largely provided, that the Docks would continue to
enjoy the confidence and favour of the commercial
community.
The CHAIRMAN then said that he should be happy
to give any explanations that any Hon. Proprietor
might wish to have.
W. WARD, Esq., wished to know whether the
directors had any objection to have a legal opinion
taken as to the legality of the proposed transfer of the
property of the annuitants to the capital stock of the
company ?
The CHAIRMAN said that he and his brother direc-
tors would be sorry to see the money of the com-
pany wasted in taking legal opinions upon subjects
which were better understood by the directors and
proprietors than they could possibly be by any pro-
fessional advisers. The directors were anxious only
to adopt such measures as would tend to improve the
condition of the whole body of proprietors. The
present favourable state of the affairs of the company
could not by possibility have been brought about ex-
cept by the adoption of thg measures which had been
recommended in past years by the directors.
MATTHEW CLARKE, Esq., thought that the ques-
tion before the court was to be treated in two points
of view—the expediency of so appropriating the
money, and the legality of so acting. With respect
to the legality of the course, he thought that there
was no doubt but that it was perfectly legal : with
regard to the expediency of the measure, the increased
business of the company and rate of dividend were
sufficient to answer every objection upon that score.
W. WARD, Esq., said that he had not the slightest
notion of derogating from the success of the dock
company, but he thought that the same success would
have been obtained from the increased accommodation
afforded by the company, if the means of obtaining that
accommodation had been obtained from other sources
than the property of the life annuitants.
J. WiLsost, Esq., did not see what beneficial result
could be obtained from having a legal opinion on the
subject; it would only have the effect of throwing a
firebrand among the proprietors. He thought that
as the company was now in a prosperous condition, it
would be the best policy to act upon the old maxim of
" leaving well alone."
The subject then dropped, and
The CHAIRMAN proposed that a dividend of 2i per
cent. should be paid, subject to the payment of the
income-tax.

M. CLARKE, Esq., wished to know whether the
income-tax was paid by the directors out of their
allowances.

The CHAIRMAN said it was.

M. CLARKE, Esq., then moved, and J. WILSON,
Esq., seconded a motion, that the income-tax on the
salaries of the directors should be paid by the com-
pany.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for this additional
mark of respect towards the directors on the part of
the proprietors.
A resolution, authorising the transfer of 75,0001. for
the purpose of new works was agreed to, W. Ward,
Esq., being the only dissentient.
In answer to a question put by a Shareholder,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the dividends would be
reads for payment on Wednesday next.
An Hox. PROPRIETOR moved, "That for the future
the salary of the chairman should be increased to
3001. per annum, and that of the deputy-chairman
and treasurer to 280/. per annum."
After a short discussion on the ground that no
notice of the motion had been given, the resolution
was carried unanimously.
Mr. Zulueta was then unanimously elected a direc-
tor of the company, in the room of Mr. J. Stuart,
who had resigned.
A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and
the meeting broke up.

ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE
FIRES AT LIVERPOOL.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.)
Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock,
ern oke was observed to issue, in dense quantities,
from the top story of Mr. Robertson Gladstone's
w arehouse, in Union-court, nearest to Castle-street,
al id immediately fronting the opening to Cook.street.
!Me alarm was, of course, immediately given, and,
f being within a short distance of the fire police station,
Mr. Hewitt, with a body of the fire brigade, were in
a few minutes on the spot. Engines, water-carts,
&c., belonging to the fire police, and the West of
England fire-engine, were also speedily on the
ground.
The first efforts of Mr. Hewitt were, of course,
directed to raising a hose up the winding staircase to
the top of the warehouse, and this accomplished, the
water from the Green-lane Works was turned on
'Withx full force, and poured a great stream into the

time was lost in taking

couple theaf roof
lower than the warehouse, and three large
apertures stories
having been made in the wall on the left aide,the
branches were introduced, and in a very few minutes
succeeded in subduing the flames. The efforts of the
firemen on the west were ably seconded by those on
the east, an opening having also been me in the
party wall p 2 inches thick), which sead parated the
warehouse in which the fire originated from the one
adjoining. The fire was got under about half-past
six o'clock.
We never witnessed a fire which so long defied the
'united efforts of the fire police, aided as they were
from the beginning by a plenteous supply of water.
Any quantity of water could have been obtained,
and thousands of tuns were wasted from the inability
to ascertain the precise position of the flames. The
firemen to their credit risked life and limb, we do not
know whether we ought to say in the most praise-
worthy manner. They bore up against
the most dis-
agreeable fumes proceeding from the

on the ground, or reeled into the streets in a state of
insensibility.
Mr. Hewitt and his brother, George Hewitt, al-

againuntil
they were compelled to lie down, and rallying
:renewed their efforts till they were crowned
with
3AUCCEIBS.
Mr. Robertson Gladstone was on the ground during
t le progress of the fire; and amongst the gentlemen
* ho were present, and, to the best of their ability, as-
sh ding the efforts of the police, were Mr. Rushton,
114 r. Henry Denson, Mr. Cooper, Mr. George Grant,

Mr. Bennett, and several other members of the Town
Council. Mr. Boult and Mr. Stone, of the Liverpool
Fire- office ; Mr. Dove, of the Royal Fire Insurance ;
and Mr. Whitehouse, of the West of England, were
also in attendance; as was, also, Mr. Maxwell, the
inspector of salvages.
Mr. Quick, superintendent of the southern divi-
sion, who, in the absence of Mr. Dowling, from
indisposition, took charge of the police, deserves
especial notice for his exertions. Mr. Superin-
tendent Brown rendered essential service, as did
alio Inspector Biddy and others of the police,
who deserve handsome rewards for their praise-
worthy efforts. In the absence of Mr. M‘Dron:laldcwgihn,
in who
is in London on the arbitration business, m
from the Harrington Waterworks, was attendance,
directing the efforts of the turnkeys, the West of Eng-
land engine being entirelyle havesupphed alreadyfromth stated e mains of

the top story of the warehouse was filled with sugar,
raisins, and figs. The second story was occupied by
coffee, pepper, and other articles. The contents have
not been entirely destroyed; but we are afraid they
are hopelessly damaged. The roof fell in, but beyond
the two top stories, the flames did not extend down to
the property in other stories, from the immense floods
o water which were poured into them.
The building and goods are fully insured; but the
precise amount we could not, at the late hour at
which we are writing, ascertain.
The origin of the fire is, of course, a mystery.
inflammable
materials figs, and raisins, are not very
materials ; and there will, no doubt, be a strict in-
quiry into all the circumstances. The warehouse is
very subtantially built, but having been erected be-
fore the system of fireproofing was so generally
adopted, the joists, beams, and flooring are of wood.
Iron outer doors, cat-heads, &c., were added, how-
ever, after the passing of the Fire Prevention Act.
Since writing the above we have ascertained that
Mr. Duncan, the assistant-engineer of the corpora-
tion, was present, and directed the men in charge of
the stand-pipe belonging to the Green-lane Water-
works.
FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP IN THE VICTORIA DOCK.
—About five o'clock, and in the midst of the bustle
consequent upon the fire inUnion-court, intimation was
given of a fire on board a vessel in the Victoria Dock.
Mr. Redin, head superintendent of the north division,
and Mr. Superintendent Anders, with five of the
fire brigade, fire engines, &c., started immediately for
the dock, and, on arriving there, discovered smoke
issuing in dense volumes from the fore hold of a
barque lying on the east side of the dock. The
vessel proved to be the Clutha, Captain Fergus,
which had arrived only on Wednesday, from Charles-
ton, full to the beams with cotton, and the deck also
crowded with large bales of the same article. It
was deemed advisable at once to remove the vessel
to the west side of the dock, and there an ineffec-
tual effort was made to subdue the flames. By
the direction of Mr. Garniss, assistant harbour-master,
the barque was then taken into the lock of the
Waterloo Deck, the water in which was immediately
lowered for the purpose of grounding the vessel. This
being accomplished, the barque was scuttled, several
holes having been made in her bottom. Whilst
they were able, the firemen stood upon the .deck with
branches from two fire engines, and poured water down
the fore hatchway, but the heat became so intolerable
that they were at length compelled to retire and stand
on the quay, where they continued their efforts to
subdue the flames. In order that no portion of the
water might be wasted, holes were made on the
deck so that it might run into the hold. The
tire appeared to be near the upper deck, and,
therefore, the water coming in at the scuttle holes
had little or no effect. It was only by the streams
from the engines that the flames were prevented
from bursting forth. The volumes of smoke
were immense. Mr. Mason, the secretary, was in
attendance ; but we did not see any members of the
Dock Committee on the ground. The efforts of the
firemen were directed in a very orderly manner by
Superintendents Redin and Anders, aided by Inspec-
tors Moore, Burton, &c. &c. At the time we write
the tide is rising, and the smoke is becoming less
dense ; but we fear a great portion of the cargo will
either be destroyed, or very much damaged.
Fortunately there was no wind, or the consequences
might have been very serious. The origin of the fire
is, of course, at present a mystery. With the ex-
ception of the lanterns used by the customs' officers in
rummaging the vessel, no fire has been on board since
the Clutha docked. It is rather remarkable that the
fire should have been first' discovered, as we are told,
in the place where the lanterns were used by the cus-
tom,' officers.

ELEVEN P.M.—The fire has at length been got
under, but the engines are still playing. The cargo
(cotton) keeps the vessel afloat, although there must
be a considerable depth of water in the hold.
