the subsidence of the late flood, a great number of pheasants, par;
tridges, hares and rabbits, were found drowned in an osier bed, be-
tween the villages of Stoke Bardolph and Gunthorpe, Nottingham-
shire, the property of Lord Chesterfield.
THE LATE EARL OF ERROLL.—The deceased Earl had
long suffered from serious indisposition, and by the advice of his me-
benefit of his
dical attendants, proceeded to Paris last year for the
health. The Earl, accompanied by his family, returned from the
French capital about a fortnight ago, since which he has been gra-
dually sinking. The Countess of Erroll, Lord Kilmarnock, VISCOunt
and Viscountess Campden, Lady Agness Duff, Lady Mary Fox, and
General and Lady Isabella Wemyss, were present at the mournfill
event. The deceased William George Hay, Earl of Erroll, and Lord
Hay, in the peerage of Scotland; Baron Kilmarnock, of Kilmarnock,
in the county of Ayr, in that of the United Kingdom ; Hereditary
Great Constable of Scotland, and Knight Marischal Kt.T., G.C.H.,
P.C.; a lieutenant-general of the Royal Archers, the Queen's body
guard of Scotland, and Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire, was born
on the 21st of February, 1801, and succeeded his father on the 26th
of January, 1819. His Lordship married, in 1820, the Lady Eliza-
beth Fitzclarence, daughter of his late Majesty King William IV.,
and aunt to the Earl of Munster, by whom he has left three daugh-
ters and one son, the last of whom, Lord Kilmarnock, a lieutenant
in the Rifle Brigade, succeeds him in the faintly honours. The
present Earl was born in 1823. Iler Majesty and the Prince Consort,
the Queen Dowager, and other members of the Royal Family, sent
during Sunday to make incietu alter the state of the Cenntess of
Erroll.

effecting an explosion on the premises of Messrs. J. and W. Marshall,
edge tool and scythe manufacturers, of Allen-street, consisted of an
iron tube, about three feet in length, and three and a half inches in
diameter. The iron tube in such cases is filled with powder, and the
spot where its destructive powers are to be brought into operation
being selected, the person who deposits it lights the fusee, and the
ignition of the gunpowder is effecter!. In the meantime, the dastardly
contrivers of this mode of vengeance make off. Immediat,ly after
the explosion at Messrs. Marshall's, two men were seen as if making
their way frOmihe dir,ction 01 the premises. In the present case,
the damage done is trifling. I'art of a wall was knocked down, A
workshop window-blown out, and part of the roof of a building shel-
tered. Thi- is nothing in comparison with the unhappiness of living
under a system of terror, which those who contrive the destructive
missiles seek to uphold.— Shellie.'d Times.
It is said that the first trial of the atmospheric system
upon the South Devon Railway will take place on the Ist of May.—
Devonport Telegraph.
FIRE AT CHISWICK NEW CHURCH. —On Sunday
evening the new Anglo-Norman church of the parish of Chiswick,
erected about three years since, on the centre of the common at
Turnham-green, hal a most narrow escape of total destruction by
tire. It appears that after the conclusion of divine service Mr. Bar-
rett, the sexton, locked the church up, and went home, leaving all
apparently safe, but Ir.! had scarcely got in doors before Mr. Fester,
the assistant-overseer, came to inform him that he itad perceived fire
bursting through the slates of the roof. Mr. Barret illirried back,
and on entering the edifice found the roof, which is an open one, on
fire, immediately over one of the chandeliers suspended in the :Middle
aisle. An alarm was instantly raised, and a messenger diSpatthed
to Chiswick, which is nearly a mile distant, for the pariah engine,
which is kept at the old church. In a few minutes the Rev. Mr.
Jenkyns, the minister, Sergeant Scotney, T 21, and a number of the
inhabitants of the neighbourhood, were on the spot, and ladders
having been procured, a supply of water was obtained from the
ponds on the Green, and being poured on the flames they were by
great exertions subdued, and all further danger allayed. From an
examination it has been ascertained that the fire was occasioned by
the overheating of the tube which conveys the smoke from the chan-
delier. The church is insured in the County Fire-office.

MEETING OF ARTISTS.—Monda-y evening a public
meeting of artists was held at the Galleries, 252, Oxford-street.
William Stuart, Esq., in the chair. It was stated that artists having
long felt the want of a suitable institution in which they might ex-
hibit their periodical productions to the public, and in which they
might find their performances fairly appreciated, ;without courting
the hanging committee, the present meeting had been convened to
take the matter into consideration. The proprietor of the galleries
in which they were assembled had offered them to the committee for
that purpose, on liberal terms, and it was now proposed to take
them. Messrs. Bromley, Kirkby, Fennell, and other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, and severe strictures were made upon existing
bodies, who practised exclusiveness, to the injury of the great body
of artists. It was resolved that the proprietor should be requested
to receive pictures of real merit for exhibition, although the same
might have been exhibited before, provided there should not be an
overflow of more recent productions of equal merit, and provided
also that they were the productions of living artists. It was agreed
that a petition to the House of Commons, in favour of increased sup-
port to art, and for the abolition of existing monopolies, should be
prepared, and entrusted to Mr. Wyse, M.P., for presentation.

NUMBER OF PASSENGERS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
.FRaNcE.—The following is the official return of the number of passen-
gers who have passed between France and England, by the ports of
London, Folkestone, Dover, Calais, and Boulogne-sur-Mer, from the
sth instant up to the 11th inclusive :—lly Boulogne, 1,045 passengers.
14 horses, and 16 carriages. By Calais, 216 passengers, 3 horses, and
1 carriage. The corresponding period 'in 1845 was :—By Boulogne,
974 passengers ; Calais, 358. The 1,045 passengers arrived" at
Boulogne were divided as !billows ;—Coming from London, 85; ditto
from Folkestone, 441—Total 526. Sailed for London' 140 ; ditto
from Folkestone, 379.—T0tal 619.--1,045. The following is the
number of passengers during the first quarter of 1846:—Boulogne,
10,223; Calais, 2,617; Havre, 2,360; Dieppe, 855; Ostend, 3,256;
Antwerp, 759 ; making a grand total of 20,090. It is expected that,
in consequence of the lino of steam packets intended to be established
by the South-Eastern Railway Company, from Ramsgate to Ostend,
in addition to their vessels between Folkestone 'and Boulogne, that
the number of paisengers, this year, to Belgium and France, will be.
greatly increased by these facilities and cheap fares.
GALLANT STEEPLE CHASE AND CAPTURE OF A PRI-
SONEL—On Friday afternoon, Superintendent Hoy, of the county
police, obtained information that Asa Twin, who escaped on the Bth
inst. from Sudbury gaol, where he ha. 4 been committed for trial, was
enjoying himself on the good things which the Lamb Inn, Bible Hed-
Ingham, afford, and accordingly he proceeded to that hostelry with
the view of improving the acquaintance. Master Twin scented MS
approach, and when the officer catered, the information was, that he
had just skimmed across the back fields at a railroad speed ; soon the
officer was upon his trail, through Gosfield woods at a slapping pace;
having given the word to his pack, the villagers turned out en massif
to assist in the chase, and the game having been sighted in Gosdeld
Church-lane, the whole were soon in full cry, baffling every tarn
and doubling ; atter four hours hard run, the tired culprit was driven
like the Seikhs into the river, and like the Seikhs it was fatal to 141E4

SECESSION FROM THE CHURCH.—The Rev. Edward

Maryiebone, and afterwards of St. James's, Piccadilly, was last
week received into the Roman communion.

TO PREVENT CONDENSATION ON SLATE COVERING.
--A correspondent of the Builder says, " that by simply covering the
under side with one or two coats of strong distemper colour, the an-
noyance may be prevented. This I have found to answer well in a
closet in my garden, where the nuisance arising from constant drip-
ping, led to the investigation of the subject, and the result attained."
STODDART AND CONOLLY.—Dr. Wolff last night, at
the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton•buildings, gave a very
interesting and graphic account of his adventures and hair-breadth

'scapes, in his endeavours to ascertain the precise fate of the above
unfortunate officers at the court of the perfidious and cruel Ameer of
Bokhara. This Prince Dr. Wolff stated to be universally feared and
hated by his subjects of all creeds, for his tyranny, in which he id
aided and imitated by his minister, Abdul Samad Khan, who is even
a greater villain than his master. As .has been before stated, Dr.
Wolff expressed his decided opinion that not only had Madden
and Conolly been murdered by order of the Ameer, but that
no less than five other Englishmen, including Lieutenant Wyburd,
had fallen victims to the treachery of the ruler of Bokhara. Dr.
Wolff's touching narration of the circumstances attending the exe-
cution of the two gallant officers, as related to him by Nathan, the
Jew, in the Toorkoman's tent, was listened to with breathless atten-
tion; and while a simultaneous burst of applause greeted the decla-
ration of the two soldiers, that they would die like Englishmen and
Christians, a murmur of pity was heard for their cruel and untimely
end. The lecture was the last of a series of three delivered gra-
tuitously by Dr. Wolff, in aid of the Widows and Orphans' Fund of
the North London District; we were, therefore, glad to see it well
attended.
THE LATE DEATH OF A MlSER.—Yesterday afternoon,
Mr. W. Baker resumed and concluded an adjourned inquiry, at the
King's Arms, Charles-street, City-road, respecting the death of Mr.
John Jacob, aged 75, some particulars of which appeared in The
Sun of Tuesday last ; from which it will be recollected that the de-
ceased had been living in a room at No. 6, Powell's-place, in a very
parsimonious manner, from which he was removed to St. Luke's

METALLURGIC INDUSTRY OF
AUSTRIA.
(From the Alining Journal.)
The mineral resources of Austria are but very little
known in this country, although the Austrian empire is
very rich in minerals of every description. The greater
portion of the metal, the fossil fuel, salt, earth, or clay,
for the manufacture of porcelain and the other potteries,
pyrites, nickel ore, cobalt, grenates, &c., form, by their
union, an extensive list of minerals, rarely to be found in
any other country. The following is an official return of
the principal metals produced in 1845, namely;_.
Iron and cast metal lb. 306,000,000
Lead and lead productions 16,000,000
Copper
Zinc
Antimony
Mercury 370,000
Productions from cobalt and nickel 240,000
Tin 190,000
Silvers . • 56,000
Gold
Austria also possesses very extensive coal beds, but
the working of them has not yet been carried to any ex-
tent, although there is a great abundance of wood, and
at low prices. At the List exposition about fifty of the
exhibitors sent to Vienna numerous supplies of coal,
anthracite, and lignite. The proluction of coal in
Austria during the last few years is estimated at 600,000
tons, which will, no doubt, rapidly increase. It is well
known that in Austria the working of mines of every
description is a prerogative of the state, which some-
times, under particular circumstances, cedes its regal
right to private individuals. All the provinces of the
Austrian monarchy, with the exception of the provinces
of Venice, Meng the coast, and Dalmatia, are productive
of Leon, and we can divide into three large zones the
countries which furnish this metal. The most im
portant of these tor iron, as for the quality of its metal-
lurgic productions, is Styria, as it furnishes annually
336,000 cats. of iron. According to the statistical
returns of the iron industry in Austria, it appears that
in 1341 there were 226 high furnaces throughout the
empire, 32 furnaces at Kupul (Kupolosen). 835 forges
for iron and steel, with 1,955 fires, and 1,538 hammers
or anvils, 15 puddling forges, wsth e 4 puddling ovens,
38 flattening apparatuses. and 32 retseatine ovens, 40
flattening machines, with 112 pairs of cylinders, 94
reheating ovens, 9 steel melting ovens, and 31 mechanical
establishments. The produce was as follows;—Rough
metal (roheiseu), 2,192,540 Austrian cwts.; cast metal,
364,130; iron in bars, 1,375,659—0 f which 182,459 were
flattened iron ; tin, 11,056; iro!.. plates, 111,644; and
steel, 209,379. In 1843 the pvoduetion of east metal
was 9,351,980 owls.; and moulsied metal, 369,342 ewts.
The total production of cast iron, or metal, is estimated
at 14,000,000 florins (2s. 3d. sterling); and the whole
produce of the iron industry is sated at 39,000,000
florins. Although the production of iron in Austria
presents each year a considerable increase, it is far from
being in proportion, according to the abundance of iron
are of excellent quality, which is found in nearly every
provir.ce of the empire.
The admission of iron into Austria, like many other
products, is only permitted under especial permission ;
therefore, the imports of it in 1841 amounted only to the
value of 400,000 florins. The value of productions
exported was 4,500,000 florins. The chief trade of iron
in Austria is carried on with the states of the Zollverein,

not throw an obstacle in the way. The manufacture of
scythes and sickles is one of the most remarkable and
ancient inclusti ies of Austria. Styria, the classical land
of scythes, has for a long time supplied nearly all the
markets of the world ; and, although the fabrication of
them has greatly progressed iu othe r countries, parti-
cularly in France, Prussia, and Russia, the production of
them in Austria has not at all diteinisl led. The follow-
lug is the number made.-3,965,000 cythes of different
sizes, 1,159,000 sickles, and 83,000 1, .nines, or shares for

can by law only make fifty tons of scythes per annum,
each ton containing from 1,000 to 1,800 different pieces,
according to their size. They, however, can double this
quantity, by having two brigades, or change of workmen,
and by adopting in their work more methodical order.
They attach a great importance to executing the work in
each shop in the same manner, and by the same work-
men. The Austrians complain very much of the manu-
facturers of Prussia, who make inferior scythes, and
adopt the best marks of Styria, causing a great injury to
that part of the country.
The above will show the progress making in mining
industry in that rich country, which promises, in a few
years, to be a most prosperous resource.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,
ROLL'S COURT, April 20.

AR3ISTRONO V. STORER.

Lord LANGDALE, in delivering judgment on the petitions
in this case, which was tried last March, said, it appeared
by an order, dated the 12th of January, 1841, made with
respect to the petition of James Grant, now deceased, the
receiver of the rents of the estate, as well as the plantations
in Jamaica. There had been a reference, to ascertain if
Grant had any lien on the 3,6541., the balance which was due
to the receiver, Mr. Williams, who had committed an excess
in the payment of his account. It was found by the Master
that Williams had a lien under a deed bearing date
August, 1845, which had been entered into by him
with Grant, Theodore Williams, and Baragletti deceased,
and under whom the present Baraglette, the representative
of his father claimed That lien had been assigned to Barag-
lette for a sum of 1,7001., which was paid to the representatives
of Joseph Storer Williams. The Master found that,
under the agreement between Grant and Theodore Wil-
liams, Baraglette ht.d the lien far 3,6541. 25., the
principal,
and for 1,8591. 12s. 21. interest. The report was
net excepted to, and was confirmed. Mrs. Aim Catherine
Storer, th widow, had obtained leave to present a petition
against the report, which she ac;ordingly did. The report
also prayed fur a reference to review the same, upon two
grounds, namely, that the Master was not autho-
rised to do more than simply to report on the
alleged claim Elf Grant, and also that his decision
on the claim of Baz,lg:!tte was made without authority, and
that liazalgette having filed bills on behalf of the testator,
Anthony Gilbert Storer, could not be allowed to enter into
any compromise with Williams's executor tor his own
benefit, but for the common beneit of all the creditors. As
there had been no exceptions taken to the report, no
questions whatever raised upon it, and no excuse offered
for the matter not having been brought before
the Court in a proper manner, and that it was not even pre-
tended that there was any error in fact or law committed by
the Master, these objections could have no weight whatever.
The petition set forth that the profit coming to Bazalgette
was gratuitous, which assertion was unfounde. Bazalgette
filed the second bill, which was a bill of review. If it had been
shown in a proper manner that Bazalgette was bound to
protect the interests of the creditors, and that he failed in
his duty, there might then have been grounds for the appli-
cation. But the petition did not allege that Grant was not
entitled to what he had obtained. The petition must, there-
, fore, be dismissed with costs.
The case was directed to be spoken to on Saturday.
NELSON V. DUNMIRE.
His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this cause, and went
in extenso through the details. It appeared that
the plaintiff Nelson was the residuary legatee of Mrs.
E. Nelson, for whom Duncombe acted as personal
representative. Mrs. Nelson had appointed Mr. Nelson
as her sole agent, but subsequently, in a codicil
to her will, she joined Duncombe with him in the executor-
ship. Duncombe administered to the estate, and was pre-
pared to settle with Nelson, claiming, however, the ex-
penses at which he bad been for sustaining the plea
of unsound mind, and in obtaining the commission
of lunacy. Mr. Nelson objected to this, and filed a bill.
after which Mr. Duncombe filed a cross bill. The alleged
lunacy was not sustained. His Lordship here went into all
the circumstances of the case, which have appeared before
the public, and decided upon granting the reference to the
Master to ascertain the state of mind of the plaintiff; and to
make a report with respect to the expenses incurred.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 20.
(Sittings in Banco.)
TILE QUEEN V. PARKER.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA moved for a rule to set aside the ver-
dict in this case. The case was tried before Lord Denman at
the sittings after last term at Guildhall, and a verdict re-
turned for the Crown. Sergeant Shea now moved upon
affidavits.

Lord DEN MAN intimated that it had better be brought on
when the defendant was brought up for judgment.
In the case of

THE QUEEN' V. LEWIS,
the same course was directed by the Court.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 20.
(Sittings of Banco.)
FINLATSON V. PILBROW.
Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside and a new
trial be had on the ground of misdirection by the Learned
jury.
The who, in fact, gave no direction at all to the
The case was tried before Lord Chief Justice Denman, at
the late assizes at Maidstone, and was brought by plaintiff,
a railway surveyor, for the recovery of 44/. 17s. 6d„ for
services rendered by him 'to the defendant, Mr. Pilbrow, of
atmospheric railway celebrity, on the projected London and
Gravesend Atmospheric Railway, now defunct. According
to the statement of counsel the evidence in support of the
action consisted of the prospectus of the Company and two
witnesses who deposed to the fact of the engagement
having taken pine and the reasonableness of the
charges. The Learned Counsel commented upon the
evidence at great length, and contended that it was
totally inadequate to connect defendant with the
engagement, and that as one of the witnesses was not a
secretary or clerk, as he had represented himself, but a mes-
senger, in the employment of plaintiff, who paid him occa-
sionally from 2s. to a guinea for the services he rendered, his
testimony was worth nothing.
The COURT was of opinion that the whole was a qaestion
of fact, and as the Learned Judge and the jury who tried
the case were of opinion that defendant was liable, under
such circumstances the motion for a new trial could not be
granted.—Rule refused.
HUTCHINSON V. EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. KNOWLES moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict for defendants in this case should not be set aside and

provisions of the Jl.ct. empowering them to construct
their railway.
The plaintiff was the owner of certain land
which the Company
.required for the purposes of the rail-
way ,
• and the question of compensation was submitted
to a jury who assessed damages. The defendants paid that
amount into the Bank of England, and then proceeded to
take possession of the land. The plaintiff subsequently
brought his action for ejectment, and obtained a verdict.
Mr. Justice Cresswell, before whom the case was tried, ruling
it in favour of the plaintiff, on the ground that defendant
had not complied with the terms of the Act in not paying
the money over to plaintiff. A motion was afterwards made
in this Court for a rule to set aside that verdict, but it was
refused, as the Court agreed withlSfr. Justice Cresswell in
the view he had taken. The action tried at the Liverpool
assizes was for the recovery of damages forfeited by the
Company for entering, without consent, into plaintiff's lands,
for doing which, according to the 159th section of their own
Act, they forfeited 25/. a-day for every day they kept pos-
session of the land after notice was served upon them to
give up possession. The verdict was then given for de-
fendant, which the Learned Counsel proceeded at great
length to contend was at variance with the 159th section
of the Act for the construction of the railway.
The COURT was of opinion that no such construction as
that given by the Learned Counsel could be put on the
section, but would confer with the Judge who tried the cause.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Aprii 20
(Before the RECORDER.)
THE CHAMBERLAIN OF LONDON v. STURT AND OTHERS.
(Continued crone our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
After some discussion it was ultimately decided that the
Solicitor-General might if he chose address his Lordship.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL accordingly proceeded to answer
the objection of his Learned Friend, who he said must
not suppose that because he happened in this case to
appear as counsel for the City of London he had it in his
power to stop every one's mouth that might appear against
the interests for which he appeared. (Laughter.) He ( the
Solicitor-General) appeared there as Counsel for one of
her Majesty's subjects, and as an interlocatory question had
arisen in these proceedings, he presumed that he had a
perfect right to address his Lordship upon it, who, he hoped;
would treat this subject with the seriousness and attention
which it deserved. He had no wish whatever to occupy
unnecessarily the time of the Court, because he happened
to be concerned in cases which demanded his presence else-
where at that moment. Wh it was the allegation which he
had submitted on behalf of the defendants in this case ?
That the array has made by Charles Sewell and that in-
stead of the complete list ofjurors liable to serve on this occa-
sion, only 48 had been returned; andat was from that paper
and that paper alone which lay before the gentle-
man that occupied the seat underneath his Lordship,
that Sewell or his deputy had returned the jurors who
hail been called into the box. lie wished 'o ask, if the paper
which had been produced was not the array, which was the
array? If th it paper had n t been produced before the
Court, there would have been no other Mitt ument. The
second objection to the array was, that it was made by
a particular individual who was interested in the issue of
the trial. Now, if the paper before his Lordship was
not the array, there was, in fact, no array at all. L
was fr, in that paper that the jurors had been called,
and in all ordinary cases that was termed the array.
He apprehended that the question whether the officer, the
sergeantsat-Niece, had me le the array or not was per-
' fectly immaterial. The officer received the list of 150 parties
liable to serve in ordinary cases, but as the number was so
great he reduced them to 60, which 60 constituted the
su.me that Sewell
array, and in the selection of those 60 individuals he was at
perfect liberty to exercise his discretion. if he saw any
that the list, iu s
case,o was the
parties amongst the 150 parties liable to serve who
might be favourable to that party against whom he
entertainedld some dislike, he might refuse to select them.

e

Charles Sewell, the Sergeant-at-Mace, was a freeman of the
City.
Sir Tnoßras-WanE was-astonished- that his -Learned
Friend should have devoted his talents to argue in the way he
had done. It was perfectly evident that the piece of parch-
ment which his Learned Friend had christened a panel was
a legitimate instrument. It was returned by the proper
officer, and contained the names of forty-eight persons, forty-
four of whom were summoned. He had only to summon
those on the list, and had no authority to make it a panel.
The panel was made by the wardmote, and the officer had no
power over it. He, therefore, submitted that the objection
was not tenable.

The RECORDER then proceeded to give his decision on the
point. He said the issue was that Charles Sewell made the
array. Now he was of opinion that the jury list was made
at the inquest during the wardmote from the list presented
by the inquest jury, and that the duty of the officer was in
that respect ministerial only, and that omission to furnish
the names of four persons who had moved out of the ward,
and whom he consequently was unable to summons, could not
vitiate the only array—namely, that presented by the in-
quest at the wardmote. He did not think he was anything
more than a summoning officer, limited to the array. That
was the object of the presentment of the inquest; and if
they were to enter into the history of the practice, they
would find that it was of the most popular description. It
was comprehended in every presentment to every ward-
mote that a return should be made by the inquests
of all those who were liable to serve on ju-
ries within each wardmote, and the entire City
constituted a large aggregate number of wardmotes. Of
this process they had a return of the inquest from all
persons throughout the City who were liable to serve as
jurors in the City. Then came the Act of the Common
Council, which directed (the number being far greater than
was required for the City Courts), that they should take in
rotation a return of two wards fur each month throughout
the year ; and as there were more wards in the City than
m mths iu the year, it frequently occurred that
t ev had three wards in some particular month.
Eve wardmote contained within it a court leet, at which
sue proper officer presided to see it rightly done, but almost
everything was dune by the public, empanelled as a jury.
It wss a most ancient and popular institution, and what were
they charged with? With having resorted, according to
ancient oust' m and by the law of the city, to a most popular
mode to arrive at the names of persons liable to serve
as jurors; thus, instead of being referred to the nomination
of one officer, they had the coilscrive inquests of the City re
turning from their respective wards those liable to serve as
jurors. The duty of Sewell's deputy was simply ministerial.
The only defect was this, that be had not signified in the
list which he returned the names of those whom
he was unable to find. He was, therefore, of opi-
nion that the array was not made by the
Sergeant at-Mace, but by those who elected the jars?.
The objection, therefore, was not, in his opinion, tenab'e.
The Recorder must insist upon his right to be rererreu to
as fryer and not as Recorder; and he would put the matter in
any way whi,:h should not inculpate his successor, but he could
not sign the bill of exceptions in his character of Recorder.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then handed in a challenge of
the array, on the ground of unindifference in the Sheriff, Al-
dermen, and the other members of the Corporation, and cer-
tain of the instruments of making the array.
Sir T. WILDE objected to the challenge on the ground that
all the challenges could not be taken at once, on the ground
that the precedents of the books were decided on that point.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL must ask for his Learned
Friend's authority, for it really appeared to hit that the
terms of the decision were, that all challenges should be taken
at the same time; that is, that the challenges must be made
not as one challerge, but that all should be taken before the
other party proceeded.
The RECORDER conceived that the challenges were to be
taken in succession like a number of counts, for if one suc-
ceeded that was sufficient to destroy the array.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the points of the chal-
lenges were under different issues.
The RECORDER conceived that although the whole of the
challenges had not been put in upon parchment, yet that
they were to be considered as so many different challenges.
But they must consider the confusion on the record.
Sir T. WILDE was of opinion that although the pointe of
challenge might be different, yet the whole of the reasons
ought to be stated on the same paper.
After a little interruption the SOLICITOR-GENERAL re-
sumed, and stated that he had challenged the array on the
ground of several individuals acting from indifferency, and if
he succeeded on one, that was sufficient, and it was certainly
new to him to find that because the parties were different,
the cause being the same that he was to be precluded from
his challenge, and he apprehended that some sufficient
authority ought to be given instead of the vague intimation,
and if his Lordship gave any erroneous intimation he slu,uld
be entitled to an amendment in the writ of error.
The RECOREEE—Then I will take the matter in this way.
I will take the parchment as diverse challenges, but not on
double challenges.
Sir T. WILDE said that his Learned Friend had stated
that if a second challenge would not be allowed he would be
taken by surprise, but ho very much doubted
whether he had not a long consultation with those
who he had instructed him, as to which of his two
challenges against the officer who made up the array
and the party themselves he should submit first. His
Learned Friend had also stated, with his characteristic
courage, that he had not quoted any authority in support
of his opinion, that the defendant could not now put in
another challenge. He had quoted the authority of
no less a personage than Lord Coke (than whom
a higher authority could not be quoted), who stated,
that " if an adversary wished to make any challeages,
he must make them all at once." And if that meant any-
thing, it meant that he was precluded from putting in chal-
lenges in succession, and he submitted that although those
challenges might be tried in succession, yet that
they must all be laid before the Court at one
and the same time. It was ridiculous for his
Learned Friend to say that he was surprised by the
objection which he (Sir T. Wilde) had made against the
second challenge, because when he informed him at
the outset that he would not be permitted to make
a second challenge, his reply wa,, "Oh ! we shall see
about that afterwards." which showed that he feared
he should be unsuccessful in his second attempt to interrupt
the progress of the trial, and that he could not therefore be
now surprised at the objection taken against the challenge.
It was plain that his Learned Friend wished to have as many
strings to his bow as he possibly could. The language of
Lord Coke was clear, and decidedly against the course pro-
posed to be taken by his Learned Friend, and he therefore
trusted that his Lordship would not sanction it.
The RECORDER sail that it was perfectly conclusive to
his mind that the passage quoted from Lord Coke was against
the Learned Solicitor-General, but he was disposed to admit
the challenge, although he had no right whatever to make it.
The challenge and the return of the inquest having ;been
handed in, the Recorder deliberated, and
Sir. T. WILDE stated that a serious question arose as to the
interference with the law of the wardmotes.
The RECORDER conceived that the question would hinge
on the way in which the juries were removed.
Sir T. WILDE thought that that question was already dis-
posed of, and the only question was, whether the further
consideration should come on in the way of challenge or de-
murrer.

The SOUCITOR-GENERAL conceived that the right of chal-
lenge had been substantiated, and after considerable delibera-
tion it was decided that the cause should be adjourned till
Monday next at ten o'clock, the right of challenge being
left to the Solicitor-General, with a power on the behalf of
the plaintiffs to question the extent to which it was
exercised, the understanding being that the exceptions should
be several, but confined under one statement.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.

Mr. Henry Cowne, a pawnbroker, carrying on business in
Salisbury-street, Portman-market, was charged on two war-
rants with having committed assaults of a most violent and
unprovoked nature.

Mrs. Ross, a lady residing at Moscow-cottage, Bayswater,
deposed, that some time ago her servant, unknown to her,
pledged a quantity of her stair-cevering, and that she ob-
tained possession of the duplicate for the same, the pawning
having taken place at the shop of the defendant. The twelve
months had expired on the 10th instant, which was Good
Friday, and on the following morning she (complainant)
went to the house for the purpose of redeeming the property,
at the same time presenting the money and ticket at the
counter, to a boy, who told her that his master was not at
home. She waited for nearly half an hour, and was then
told by another 'female that defendant was probably at his
other private dwelling, over the way. She went out, and
returned with another person, to whom she had communi-
cated what had taken place, to the shop, and seeing defendant
there, tendered again the money, when he stated that the
things were sold, and consequently she could not have them,
and that it she was determined to do anything more, it must
be by " due course of law." The defendant further told her
that he would place the covering which had been pledged
upon the counter, and that if she took it he would give her
into custody, and perhaps cause her to be transported The
property was accordingly laid upon the counter, but fearing
ulterior consequences, she refused to take possession of it, ex •
cept in the regular way, viz., by the payment of the proper
sum advanced, together with the legal interest. She turned
to leave the shop, when the defendant abused her for going
across the road to look for him, and knocked her against the
dwrpost with such violence, that she had suffered therefrom
ever since.

The second charge was made by Alfred Thomas Oliva, 19,
Salisbury-street, who stated that at the request of Mrs. Ross,
he went with her to the shop, and that on the money and
ticket being tendered. defendant told him to walk out of the
shop. He (complainant.) said he sh,,uld not do so; upon
which defendant collared and shook tlim violently. He also
struck him a blow upon the neck as he was ping out at the
door
Mrs. Ross corroborated Mr. Olive's evidence.

Deflulant in tach case called his boy, Albert Drew, who
denied that his master had acted with any degree of vinlenA
either to Mrs. Ross or to Mr. Olive, the latter of whom, as
alleged by him (svU ness), applied opprobrious epithets towards
his 'luster, who ejected him from the shop, but with no more
force than was necessary. •
The MAGISTRATE further questioned the several witnesses,
and being satisfied that the allegxlms of unjustifiable vio-
lence had been fully male out, remarked that the cases
brought before him were of a very disgraceful nature, and for
the assault upon Mr. Olive, which was the more violent of
the two, he should inflict a penalty of 31. ; for that upon Mrs.
Ross, 2/.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Five athletic Irishmen, named Dennis and William Regan,
William Genghan, John White, and John Suißyan, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having
resisted and severely maltreated several constables of the H
division, two of whom were confined to their beds from the
injuries they had sustained.
It appeared from the evidence that between eleven and
twelve o'clock on the preceding night, as police-constable
193 H was on duty in Spite Melds he was called upon to quell
a violent uproar in a court at the back of Commercial-street,
Whitechapel, on proceeeing to which he found a large body
vet]
of Irishmen, 3 had just left a wedding party in the neigh-
bourhood, engaged in one of these general encounters which
form among them the usual conclusion of such ceremonies.
On interfering to put a stop to the disturbance he was forth-
with knocked down by the eldest of the Regans, and several
others of the Irishmen immediately set upon and kicked
him terribly as he lay upon the ground ; when another
officer came up, and while springing his rattle for
assistance was also knocked down, and his rattle wrested
from him and dulled to pieces upon the pavement. The
noise of the rattle, however, brought two other constables,
named White and Doughty to the spot, but they had no
sooner entered the court than a joint attack was made upon
them by the prisoners White and Dennis Regan, who
finished by felling them to the ground with the truncheons
they had taken from the other officers, and with which they
had been laying about them in the most merciless and indis-
criminate manner. One of the prisoners in the course of the
encounter suddenly drew a clasp-knife from his pocket, and
declaring with an oath that he would rip up the first con-
stable who attempted to secure him, made a desperate lunge
at one of the officers, which cut completely through his belt
and part of his clothing, but the man was fortunately over-
powered and secured before he was able to carry his mur-
derous threat into execution. After a desperate contest,
which WWI is the whole for nearly all hour, a strong re.

...»:. , .

inforcement of police was dispatched from the station-
house, and the whole of the prisoners were eventually taken
into eustedy. • - - -
Nearly all the officers who had been engaged-intire dis-
turbance exhibited marks of the severe treatment to which
they had been subjected; and a certificate from Mr. Mears,
the divisional surgeon, was handed to the Magistrate, which
stated that the constables White and Doughty bad sustained
such serious injuries on the head and other parts of the per-
son that they were confined to their beds in a dangerous
condition, and that some considerable time would most pro-
bably elapse before they would be able to attend to give
evidence.

The prisoners made the usual defence in such cases, mu-
tually throwing the chief blame of the transaction upon their
companions, and all of them expressing contrition for the
violence of which they had been jointly guilty; but
Mr. BROUGHTON considered them all equally culpable, and
having intimated his intention to commit them, ordered them
to be brought up again that day week, to allow time for the
result of the injuries the constables White and Doughty had
suffered to be ascertained.
THAMES.

Santyel Standen was charged with stealing three chests of
tea, valued at 75/., a pair of boots and three hats, from the
hold of the schooner London, of Dundee.
It appeared in evidence, that on Sunday morning, about
three o'clock, Inspector Griffin, of the Thames police, and
his boat's crew were on duty on the river, off Banksige,
when a skiff; containing threa men, passed them. The in-
spector and them in conversation as they shot by him,
and one of them said, "Let's get the things out and put the
boat away." The suspicions of the inspector were imme-
diately excited,.and he directed his men to give way and row
after the skiff, which was rowed alongside the coal barges
moored near Southwark bridge. The police galley soon
boarded the sk►ff, and two of the men jumped out, got upon
the barges, and made their escape. As they retreated they
called out to the prisoner, who was not so nimble, " come
on yeu -, come on, the police are upon us." The pri-
soner also attempted to make his escape in the same direc-
ti in as his companions. The police gave chase and over•
took him before he had proceeded many yards. They
brought him back to the skiff, and found it to contain three
chests of tea, three hats, and a pair of boots. The police
took the skiff in tow and proceeded towards the station at
Napping. On their way down the river the prisoner said
" It's eh up with me, I shall get lagged for this, I may
as well tell you where we got it from." Griffin asked him
where, and the prisoner slid " I will tell you when we
reach the place." When the galley was abreast of Hore's
Wharf the prisoner pointed towards the London, moored
there, and said, "That's the place we got it from, and if you
go on board, you e ill find a hamper ai.d chest on deck, and a
small case near it, which we had to take out before we could
get at the tea." After the prisoner was lodged in the sta-
tion-house, Griffin went on board the London, and found
things in the situation described. The after hatchway was
open, and the hatch itself was found on the top of the com-
panion. The inspector immediately aroused the captain and
crew, who were not a little astonished on hearing that a rob-
bery had been committed. The after-hatch was put on over
the hold on Saturday night last, but was not made fast, and
the thieves had no difficulty in removing it, and raising the
tea from the hold. They could not have done this without
making some noise, but none of the crew were disturbed.
The thieves were armed with a crow-bar, an iron bolt, and
other instruments, which were found in the skiff, but which
they had no occasion to use.

Mr. BztonxtuP said the case was complete against the pri-
soner, but in order to afford time to the Thames Police to
look after and apprehend his companions, he should remand
him till Monday next, when he would be committed for
trial. He could not let this opportunity pass without com-
mending the vigilance and alertness of the Thames Police.
It was quite clear they were vigilant and active in their
duty, for the property was recovered and one of the thieves
in custody a very few minutes after the robbery was perpe-
trated. _ _

William Beamont, a youth about 18 years .of age, was
charged with assaulting Margaret Beamont, his step-mother.
The parties live at Cottage-row, Poplar, and on the night
of Sunday, the 12th inst., the prosecutrix, a young woman,
was quarrelling with her husband, when the prisoner, who
was present, interfered, and beat his step-mother in a very
savage manner with his fists, and threw a glass at her head,
which was cut open. Several pieces of glass were taken out
of her head, and she bled profusely for some time. The pri-
soner followed her from room to room, and continued beating
her for some time, and also struck her with a sharp instru-
ment. He had beaten her on several occasions before, and
her husband had also ill-used her.

Mr. Broadwater, surgeon, said the woman was brought to
his shop on the 12th inst. She was then bleeding profusely.
A branch of the temporal artery was divided by some sharp
instrument. There were several contusions on the back of
her head.

The prosecutrix did not wish the case to proceed farther,
but the Magistrate insisted on its going before a jury, and
committed the prisoner for trial.

VIENNA, APIL 10.—The Austrian Observer declares
that the account published by the German Universal
Gazette of the suicide of the Prince of the Ligorians at
Vienna, is " a scandalous tissue of falsehood."
(From a Berlin paper.)
VIENNA, APRIL 10 —The correspondence from Lem-
burg rasp. cting the late events in Galicia, published in
the Journal des Debats, causes a great sensation here.
It is probable that the sale of this paper will be prohi-
bited in the Austrian monarchy after the Ist of July
next. It not unlikely but that between three and four
hundred copies of the Journal des Debut. have been sold
in the capital alone.

FROM THE MAINE, APRIL 10.—The affairs of the
periodical press will, to all appearance, undergo a change
in the course of a few inoritli at least in Prussia, where
it is expo eted that regulations for the press will be
issued, which will abolish the censorship, as far as the
affairs of the interior are concerned. On the other
hand, the excesses of the press are to be prevented, as
tar as possible, by a very stratuent law on this subject.
The German periodical prt ss will thereby assume a new
form, since the Prussian ordinance must have an influ-
ence on the other states.

VIENNA, APRIL' 9.—The Arch-Duke Governor-
General of Galicia arrived here yesterday, and will stop
several days. It is affirmed that the reforms which the
Government intends to introdt• e in Galicia are founded
on the plan of taking from the Nobles all the
patrimonial rights which they have hitherto enjoyed,
as well as the police authority which has been ex.:lu-
sively in their hands. Great changes will likewise be
made with req)ect to what are called the Robot days,
(answering to the French C0r4,1). Numerous pro-
posals. made by persons high in office, who have been
acquainted with the province for yearA, will also be
taken into consideration. Among them is one for the
dissolution of all the monasteries, and the abolition of
all the privileges of the Nobles. The author, who be-
longs himself to the highest class of the aristocracy,
proceeds in the conviction that almost the whole of tht
Polish nobility, without exception, may be
consilered, as conspirators and deserving of this punish.

sants should enjoy the same rights as the noblemen.
POSEN, APRIL 9.—ln consequence of orders since
yesterday, the fifth division of our troops will entirely
leave the Grand Dutchy to-day. That this order is now
given and executed, is a proof that our Government is
convinced that every spark of the fire, which threatened
our province, is extinguished, and that the manifold
apprehensions which some persons still entertain are
wholly unfounded.

FAILURE of THE BANK OF LATHAM AND CO.—Tho
exact position of the affairs of the bank cannot yet be fully ascer-

appears that the liabilities of the concern ar soewhere aut

year 1739, for affording relief to officers of the Royal
Navy, their widows, and families under circumstances of
misfortune and consequent distress, was held yesterday,
at the Thatched House Tavern, at twelve o'clock.
The Chair was taken by Captain Sir Charles
Ogle, R.N.

-Th:Te was a very numerous attendance of members
on the occasion. Among the gentlemen present we ob-
served Lord Radstock, Sir H. Baker, Bart.; Sir Edward
Codrington, Captain Dickenson, Lieut. W. Bedford,
Captain Bradshaw, Captain Drew, Captain Larcom,
Commander Payne, Captain Kelly, &c.
The Secretary, Mr. Dickson, proceeded to read over
the minutes of the last quarterly mf eting of the Society.
Letters were also read from the Earl of Haddington,
Vice-Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanny, Captain A. B.
Beecher, and Cap. F. A. Schaw.
From the report of the Society's accounts it appeared
that the total amount of monies received by the Society,
since Jan. 13, to March 31, amounted to the sum of
1,1361. 10s. 2d. Of this sum there had been received
from

Life Subscription £2s 0 0
Annual Ditto 442 18 6
Donations l6l 19 6
Interest on invested property 506 12 2
The expenditure of the Society during the above period
had been on account of grants voted at the last quarterly
meeting, 4321. The other expenses, including rent,
printing, sta'ionery, investigation charges, and other in-
cidental expenses, the sum of 232/. 18s. 7d.
The thanks of the Society were voted to the auditors
of last year, and fresh ones were elected for the en-
suing year.
ASub-Committee was appointed for the purpose of
examining the memorials of applicants.
The nvicting was addressed by Sir Edward Codring-
ton, Captain Bague, and Commander Payne.
A long discussion took place upon the subject of Miss
Hoare's application. It appeared that at the last quar-
terly meeting of the Society it was resolved that no
further relief should be afforded to her. In consequence
of that resolution she had published what she had termed
a manifesto of her grievance, and had, to a very large
extent directed public attention to the Institution in
question. The present discussion arose upon the ques-
tion of re-affirming the decision of last quarter.
It was at length moved by Captain DREW, seconded
by Admiral M'INLoN, and carried unanimously--" That
any further relief granted to Miss Hoare from the funds
of this Society would be injurious to its interest, and
contrary to the pledge given in the address to the pub-
lic, which states it would exclude the undeserving from
participation in its benefits."

The Committee then proceeded to inquire into and
decide upon the merits of the applications made to the
Society. The number of memorials presented was 86,
and the sum proposed for voting was 4801.
The cases having been disposed of, and grants of
money to the amount of 5131. (being 331. over the sum
originally proposed) having been voted to the various
applicants, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman,
and the Committee rose at five o'clock.
