neourly entertained that these complaints are beyond ne reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or asr,stance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MEItT has taYen the highest

There was a seventh prisoner, viz.—Elizabeth Oli-
ver, placed at the bar with them. She is a respectable-
looking young countrywoman, and had a child in her
arms. Beyond being charged on suspicion of having
some of the stolen property in her popession, it does
not appear that she is implicated in the more serious
part of the crime. She seemed much'troubled during
the inquiry, and was allowed a chair. .7.
It was thought that the Misses FArncombe would
have been present, and much curiosity was mani-
fested to see them. A medical certicitate, however,
was handed to the Bench stating thio they were in-
disposed, and could not attend to give evidence.
The proceedings being opened, !,
Thomas Wood, the butler, was examined, and de-
tailed the particulars of the outrsgel He identified
the: prisoners Morgan and Carter as . o of the bur-
glars ; they all had masks on at the t eof the rob-
bery. There was a good deal of talki among them,
f
and he recollected their voices andgeneral appear-
ance, and was quite sure about Cart and Morgan,
but did not particularly recognize yof the other
prisoners. When one of the men dragged him to the
pantry, it had already been broken ioto, and one of
the robbers was holding an apron, and two others
were filling it with plate; it was the apron now pro-
duced—it belonged to the witness. One of the men
held up two plated decanter-stands, and asked
him whether they were silver; i witness said,
"Judge for yourselves." After witness had been
taken to his bed-room, and left there, with the
fiercest threats, if he stirred or made any noise,
he heard the men below as if quarieilling and corn•
plaining of some of them as being ready to leave.
The clock struck five as he heard the last of them.
In the course of ten minutes (continued the witness) I
got up and hastened to the police-station at Uckfield.
I found that I had been robbed of five:coats, a pair of
cloth hoots, an apron, six silver spoons, a silver watch
and chain, and a gold watch chain, a Chinese box (the
lid of which was fitted in with precious stones), a car-
nelian seal set in gold, with the letters " T. W." en-
graved upon it, a sword, about 201. in money, and a
51. note upon the Old Lewes Bank. The black•
checked coat, the drab jacket and coat, and the water-
proof coat (which were found upon the prisoners), are
my property. The witness proceeded to detail the
articles belonging to the Misses Farncombe which had
been carried off by the burglars. Three hams, a
cheese, and several loaves of bread were missed from
the kitchen. Carter called witness by name. Wit-
ness noticed that he had his coat on, and that it did
not fit him. He said he should go away with it whe-
ther it did or not. Witness had seen him before, and
thought he had been at work in the neighbourhood.
Frances Carey, housemaid to the Misses Farn-
combe, was next examined.—The first I heard of the
burglary was the bursting in of Wood's door. I
jumped out of bed, and opening the window rang the
alarm bell. The door of my room was instantly
burst open, and a man wearing a red mask, with a
heavy bludgeon in his hand, entered. He demanded
our money (mine and my fellow-servant's). I gave
him my purse, and he took my silver watch from the
bed. I saw them at the drawers, and take some
money belonging to my fellow-servant. I saw the
man with the white mask take up my umbrella and
give it to him with the red mask. The umbrella
produced is the same. The pins and pink handker-
chief exhibited are the property of the Misses
66," belonged to the
Farn-
combe.kitchen. TThheecclohteleckmedarakperdon“ lilB,tnine.

was

in
the cellar on the previous night. Part of a cheese
produced much resembles in colour that taken away.
Evidence was then given to the effect that the
Smiths and Hamilton were at the Crown Inn, at
Groombridge, on the day after the robbery, having
with them two bundles and an umbrella ; that they
quarrelled, and the Smiths went out, taking one of the
afterwards returned
withoutbu nd 1 e
that a
bundle and an um-
brella, which appeared to be the same as those just
mentioned, were found on the following morning in
the direction in which they had gone, and the men
were suspected and pursued, and taken after a chase
of three miles. The bundle found contained ham and
cheese. Upon Hamilton were found a 51.-note on the
old Lewes Bank, two pins (identified as belonging to
the Misses Farncombe), a steel tobacco•box, and a
lucifer-box. Upon Smith a large knife, 19s. 4d. in
money; a piece of candle about two inches in length,
and an old hag.
Mr. W. Morton, superintendent of the Tunbridge-
wells police, also deposed—ln Hamilton's coat-pocket
I found this mask. (It was rudely formed of a piece
of black cotton with small white spots upon it; its
length and width being more than sufficient to con-
ceal the face of the wearer.) I asked him' " Where
did you get this ?" He said, " I have had it a long
time ; I had it to take bees." I searched him further,
and found this black checked-coat under his over one.
I inquired of him how he became possessed of that
coat. He replied " I bought it of a Jew in London,
just after the last hopping. I afterwards searched
James Smith. I found in one of his pockets the
pink handkerchief produced (identified as belong-
ing to one of the Misses Farncombe). I said,
" Where did you get this from ?" He answered, " I
found it about a month ago." I asked Hamilton where
he got the apron which he was seen wearing? He re-
plied, "'My uncle gave it me about three days ago.
His name is Wilson, and he lives at Brighton." I
then asked him where he got the two pins ? He re-
marked, " I bought them some time ago fur my little
girl." I inquired of him where he got the 51. note
oe the Lewes Bank ? He said, " I sold a pony some
time back at Farnham fair, and that is the money I
received." I afterwards asked him how he became
possessed of the umbrella, and he observed that he
had one the night before, but it was stolen from the
public-house. I then went in search of the other
prisoner. On reaching Guildford I found that Mor-
gan and Hillyer had been captured. Accompanied by
Mr. Superintendent Gilbert, I went to the residence
of Hamilton, which is at a remote part of Woking-
common. I saw Carter there, and I searched him,
and in his waistcoat pocket found several slugs and
percussion caps, and the top end of a silver spoon with
the initials "J. H. E." He was washing himself at
the time I called, and I told him he must put his
clothes on. He put on the drab Tweed coat which I
produce. It was identified by Wood, the butler.

CARLISLE, JAN. 11.—Between 3 and 4 o'clock this
Imorning John Thompson, William Mounsey, and
Thomas Pinnick, three desperate characters who
(along with another man named William Graham)
were committed about six weeks ago to take their
trial for highway robbery and attempted murder,
made their escape from Carlisle gaol by a well-
planned stratagem. Three of these fellows have been
previously convicted more than once. Their conduct,
when examined before the magistrates at the Town-
ball, was of the most uproarious nature. They had
robbed a poor old farmer upon the Brampton-road at
midnight, and their violence on the occasion was such
that they left him in his cart apparently dead. He,
however, recovered.
The circu in stances attending their escape are briefly
as follow :—Ever since their committal to gaol Gra-
ham has been subject to epileptic fits; consequently,
the surgeon ordered that he should sleep in a cell with
two other prisoners, whose duty it was to take charge
of him during these attacks. He was at first sepa-
rated from his fellow offenders, but since the sessions,
which were held last week, there were no other un-
tried prisoners remaining, with the exception of one;
the governor therefore (who is prevented by law
from placing convicted prisoners along with those
who have not yet been tried) had no alternative but
to place one of his own party with him, in connexion
with the untried prisoner already alluded to. Yes-
terday warning this man objected to remain any
longer in the same cell with the two highway rob-
bers on account of their extreme wickedness. Con-
sequently, the governor placed another of their com-
panions with them, thus making a party of three.
0 wing to an uproar shortly after two o'clock this
morning, the night watchman (John James) went to
the governor's bed-room window, and stated that
there was great shouting and knocking in ward No.
4, and that he thought Graham had had another fit.
The governor accordingly gave him the keys and a
light to go into the gallery and ascertain the fact; he
went to the door of the cell in which the three rob-
bers were confined, looked through the keyhole, and
seeing the other two prisoners holding Graham, in-
quired, "Is anything amiss ?" One of the party re-
plied, " For God's sake make haste and open the
door ; the fellow is dying." Knowing that
Graham was subject to fits, he incautiously
opened the door and introduced his light,
though against his instructions, which are never
under any circumstances to enter a cell by himself.
No sooner had he opened the door than he was seized
by the throat by Graham (the 'dying man!), thrown
upon his back, and the keys forcibly taken from him.
He made every resistance, but all was of no avail ;
moreover, Mounsey civilly said to him, "If you don't
be quiet d—d sharply it will be the worse for you ;
but if you are quiet, as you are only a workingman
like ourselves, we'll not imbrue our hands in your
blood." The three robbers then left the cell, having
locked up in it the watchman who still shouted, but
could not be heard from the governor's bedroom.
They then liberated their companion Pinnick, who
was locked up in another cell, and the four imme-
diately proceeded to plan means for effecting their
escape. They first got a plank, which they fixed
upon the spikes of some railings bordering the south
wall of the prison; they next carried off a short
ladder used by the night watchman for lighting the
lamps. This they placed upon the plank, but as their
machinery was still defective they secured a long
towel, which proved very useful. The towel was handed
to Graham, who (being the tallest man) mounted first,
and with difficulty got upon the wall. The other pri-
soners, assisted by Graham with the towel, were then
pulled up one by one, till the whole four were perched
upon the wall like so many cats. Their next
business was to descend. They accordingly drew up
the ladder and let it down on the opposite side of the
wall ; the towel was again brought into requisition
by Graham, who let the other three down till they
reached the top of the ladder, which they descended
with comparative ease. When Mounsey reached the
ground he threw down the ladder and shouted to
Graham (for whom they all appeared to entertain a
great dislike), " Stick there you b— skylark." The
three men then made off as quickly as possible along
the Caledonian Railway, and according to Graham's
statement ran in the direction of Ravinglass. Graham
not being able to help himself either in one way or
another sat upon the wall for at least an hour,
when he called a watchman, telling him that all the
prisoners were escaping, and that he believed they
had murdered the night watchman. The governor
was instantly aroused ' • he ran out half naked and saw
Graham upon the wall. Several watchmen now en-
tered, and one of them holding up his baton and point-
ing to Graham, exclaimed, "Come down, you villain,
or I'll blow your brains out." " Oh, don't fire, and
I'll come down," was the reply. He was then brought
down by a ladder, and secured.
Every possible means have been resorted to for the
recapture of the escaped prisoners. Police-officers
and other parties were instantly dispatched to Wig-
ton, Hesket, Wreay, Skewmire, Dalston, Singtown,
Whitehaven, and in fact in all directions ; but up to
ten o'clock this evening no intelligence of their recaps
ture has been received. 201. reward has been offered
for their apprehension.

wag made to Mr: Commissioner Hargreave by the
solicitor having the carriage of the sale of the Jacob
estates, in the county of Tyrone, to have an English
gentleman, by whom an offer had been privately
made for the entire estate, declared the purchaser,
without a public auction being first held in the usual
manner. The offer was made through the firm of
Messrs. Stewart, Pim, and Kincaid, and was at the
rate of about sixteen years' purchase on the valuation
of Brassington and Geale. The Commissioner declined
entertaining the motion. The public, he observed,
would in all probability be in attendance to bid for
the property in lots, and be disappointed if a pri-
vate sale were to be confirmed under the circum-
stances. The property had been advertised
for a long time, and no offer having been
made in the interim to purchase it by private
contract, he could not now entertain a private offer
from any party whatever. It might not realize so much
by sale in lots, but it must, nevertheless, take its
chance, for the Commissioners were resolved that in
no case should the public be disappointed. The point
was further pressed by Mr. Pim, who stated that the
offer made by the English speculator was equal to
twenty-three years' purchase on well-secured profit-
rents, and more than nineteen years' purchase on
Griffith's valuation. It was also suggested that the
Commissioners would not declare a purchaser for any
of the lots at a lesser rate of purchase than sixteen
years; and in case there were not purchasers for the
property in lots at sixteen years' purchase, the Court
would put up the whole estate in one lot. The Com-
missioner having assented to this proposition as rea-
sonable, the real business of the day commenced
shortly afterwards before the full Court. The
attendance was more than ordinarily numerous,
and in the course of some three hours and a half
all the properties changed hands, not as much as a
solitary lot being left unsold. For the estates
in Meath and in the northern counties, the
rates of purchase ranged between sixteen and
23 years. The estates of Mr. William Alexander
Tier, situate in Monaghan and Meath, were the first
set up for competition. The Monaghan property was
offered in eight lots, the aggregate rental of which
amounted to about 8901. per annum, subject to an
annuity of 2001. a year, payable to a lady 83 years of
age, and other minor charges. The whole produced
13,9651. The Meath property was divided into two
lots, the joint profit rental of which was estimated at
55-21. a year, and realised together the sum of 6,1951.
The Tyrone estates of the Messrs. Jacob were next
put up, in eight lots, the gross annual rent amounting
to a little over 7001. Each lot was sold separately,
five different parties becoming the purchasers. The
total sum produced amounted to 9,710/. The gross
sum realised by the sale of the entire estate exceeded
the price offered for it in chamber on the preceding
day by 2001. An estate in the county of Galway, the
property of Mr. William Kelly, of Rockville, with a
profit rental of less than 2001. per annum, sold for
2,7251. The remaining sales consisted of properties
in Kilkenny, Cork, and Kildare, but each of such
very diminutive proportions as not to call for any
notice. Their extent and value may be guessed by
the fact that the sum yielded by the sale of the
entire was but 2,1701.

FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN SIR HENRY BLACKWOOD.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 12.—The funeral of the late cap-
tain of the Vengeance, 84, Sir Henry Martin Blackwood,
took place yesterday with all the honours duo to an
officer of the deceased's rank.

The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, ar-
rived at bpithead this morning from the West India sta-
tion with military reliefs and invalids, principally of the
Royal Artillery. She sailed from Jamaica on the 6th
ult. The cholera had subsided at Port Royal and had
decreased very much at Kingston and Spanish Town.
The pestilence was travelling round the islands. The
Admiral was supposed to be at Bermuda.
Mr. Hayden, Master's Assistant of the Bermuda, and
Mr. Carter, midshipman of another ship, came home in-
valided in the Apollo. Last night one of her crew died
of dysentery, and this morning a boy on board, while
engaged in furling sails, fell from the gaff on to the poop
and sustained severe injuries. He has been conveyed to
Ilaslar Hospital. One man of the 87th Regiment was
attacked with cholera on board the night before She
sailed from Port Royal; he was immediately landed at
the naval hospital. 18 men of the Indefatigable, 50 who
were left behind in hospital when that ship I(4Jamaica
for Eugiand; have been brought home in the Apollo.
PLYMOUTH, JAN. I I.—The officers and crew of her
Majesty's steam-vessel Volcano, Commander W. T.
Rivers, were paid advance of wages yesterday, and she
is appointed to sail to-day with the mails for the coast
of Africa.

The steam-brig Samson, Captain L. T. Jones, has
been repaired, and is now filled with coal.
The Penguin packet was undocked on Wednesday,
and placed by the sheer hulk to be mast©d and rigged.
The Exprcs, packet was the same day placed in dock
preparatory for her being fitted for the coast of Africa.
Letters were received yesterday from her Majesty's
ship Caledonia, 120, Captain T. W. Carter, dated Malta,
3d of January. The crews of the fleet were in good

The lower deck was gaily decorated. After dinner we
took up the captain in an armchair, and carried him
round the deck, preceded by the band of the ship, amid
the most deafening cheers; and we afterwards served
the remainder of the officers in the Caine style. It was
such a day that the oldcit man-of.war's man will never
forget.

The British and Irish Steam-packet Company's vessel
Shannon arrived this morning from Ireland for London.
At one PIC on the 9th instant, when near the Smalls,
she took iu tow the schooner Sarah and Anne, of Dart-
mouth, being in a leaky state, with her bulwarks and
boats gone. When 40 miles north north-east of the
Longships all the steamer's hawsers and the schooner's
chain cable having been parted, they lost sight of her
during the night, and, although they lay to until the
morning, could not see her again. The schooner was
from Newport from Vera Cruz.
This neighbourhood was on Wednesday, about two
o'clock in the afternoon, visited by a sudden and heavy
squall. The wind, which was from the eastward in the
morning, veered round to the south-west, and caused
several small merchant and coasting vessels to run
ashore, but they were got off again in the evening with-
out much damage, when the squall had passed and the
tide risen. A launch full of riggers, returning from the
Volcano to the Dockyard, was swamped alongside the
masthouse, and one man, Richard Pascoe, was unfortu-
nately drowned. This squall was experienced 12 or 14
miles off Ushant, at eleven o'clock the same morning,
by the Prussian barque Johan Jacoby, Capt. Saugeon,
from Odessa for Falmouth, for orders. Wind variable—
west, south-west, and north-west; compasses useless,
from the oscillation; the sea like a boiling caldron and
as white as a sheet. The barque experienced no injury.
Mr. George Jones, for nine years collector of her Ma-
jesty's Customs at this port, and who has been nearly
half a century in the active service of the Crown, is about
to retire on a well-earned superannuation.

wich Dockyard yesterday.
The promotion of Lieutenant James Wood (1841) to
the rank of commander has been announced. That gal-
lantlofficer commanded the Pandora, 6, in her surveying

" As a radical reformer, I want no more for the
people than that right which the Constitution, by both
letter and theory, gives to them, viz.—that full influence
in their own House of Parliament which will empower
them to attend to the wishes and wants of the millions.
" Blackstone, Whitelock, and all the really able con-
Ntitutional writers of former days, declare that ' No
man shall be taxed except by his own voice, or the voice
of his representative in the Commons House of Par-
liament.'

"Is that the case now? The aristocracy have, as
Peers, not only full power in their own House of Lords,
but they have virtually the power (which they take care
to exercise) of naming a large portion of the represen-
tatives (as they are called) to the Commons House of
Parliament, and thus are able to nullify, as far as voting
goes, the votes of the few who are really the represen-
tatives of the people.
" By that system of abuse the acts of the Legislature
have thrown into the hands of the few a large proportion
~f the taxation wrung from the millions; and it is time
that that system should be put an end to.
We have done much to put an end to monopolies in
commerce ; let us put en end to the monopoly of that
political power which has enabled Parliament, thus con-
stituted, to raise the tax:tion of the country from
446,000,0001., in 1792, to 58,000,0001.. in 1850.
" It is only by exti.nsion of the suffrage to all parties pay-
, g taxed, and to registered residents for a certain time in
oni,! house; by protectien to them in voting; by short
l'arLamehts; and by a more equal apportionment of re-
;:reseltatives to electors, that the monopoly cf political
ower can be annulled and tile proper application of the
public taxes can be effected.
The association to which I belong, and on behalf of
which Sir Joshua Walmsley will appear among you on
the 15th inst., has these objects in view; and I hope the
people of Hull will respond to the call and adopt such
means a; are in their power (in spite of Peers and their
supporters) to obtain that reform which I hare pointed
out. I have proposed that extent of reform for the last
two sessions with little success. I shall repeat my mo-
tion the ensuing session; and I trust your meeting will
give us the support of Hull.
" My course in promoting these reforms is the same as
I had adopted and endeavoured to carry out many years
ago, when yotr were one of my aids in the cause. You
will find no change in the principles I have almost singly
advocated and those that the a,sociation are promoting.
" Please to make my excuse, while I remain yours
sincerely. " JOSEPH Hums.
" Mr. E. F. Coiling, Hum."
