TRH LICENSED VICTUALLERS' &WOOL—The anniver-
sary ball in aid of the funds of this excellent institution
commenced last night at the London Tavern, shortly
after 8 o'clock, and did not terminate until a "late"
hour this morning. The great hall, the new chromatic
decorations of which look exceedingly well by candle-
light, was filled to overflowing, aid the dancing was
kept up with indefatigable energy. The arrangements
for the comfort and refreshment of the guests, under the
direction of Mr. Funge, were well devised and satisfac•

from an official " address put forward on the occasion,
that the financial state of this institution is, unhappily,
far from prosperous, the total subscriptions last year
having fallen short of 1,3.0/., of which sum (1,3401.),
the licensed victuallers themselves contributed less than
7001. An earnest appeal is therefore made to the libe-
rality of all the members of the trade in behalf of an in-
stitution which has so many and just claims to their
support. It should also be stated that extraordinary
exertions have been made since last May to increase
the number of ladies' life subscriptions of 5 guineas, and
that out of 100, for which an appeal was made, 80 have
been responded to.

THE MILITIA.

7" Volunteering from the id Stafford Regiment of Militia
commenced yesterday at Portsmouth, where that regi-
ment is stationed. The regiment was about 750 strong,
and in the course of a few hours gave about 203 volun-
teers to the Royal Artillery, the Fusilier Guards, the
Royal Marines, and to the different regiments of the
cavalry and the hne. The Colonel (the lion. Col. .14 t-
tletor) told the men he was sorry to part with any of
them, but as the country required their services he was
proud and glad that such numbers of them had so readily
volunteered.

The East Norfolk Militia are under orders to proceed
to Colchester at the close of this month.

The Duke of Lancaster's Own Rifles, stationed at
Glasgow have just given their first instalment of volun-
teers to the Line for the year 1856. 170 men have been
approved principally for the Queen's Bays, Artillery,
3larines, 34th, 40th, 71st, and Rifle Regiments. The
volunteering was limited to one day. The regiment now
stands about 600 rank and file.

A letter from Hamburg of the 16th says :—Dr. Vebse
has been released on a bill of 4,000 thalers. The first
proceedings against him have terminated, and the jot.
'flout will be speedily pronounced. The offence consists
in theeletails relative to Prince William of Mecklenberg

Mr. Chap. John Gill, Secretary to the Solisiters and
General Life Assurance Office, produced two proposals
for life insurance. The letter from Mr. Wm. Palmer
was received by post ; it was for 13,0001., and was dated
Dec. 9, 1854. The proposal was. declined. A second pro-
posal, with the same object, came through Mr. Pratt, a
solicitor, of May-fair.
Mr. Thomas Pratt, solicitor, of Queen-street, May-
fair' London, was next called. He said—l did not know
the deceased Walter Palmer, but I did know Mr. Wm.
Palmer.
The Coroner—Have you a policy in your hands on the
life of Wm. Palmer ?
Mr. Lewis objected to the question. This isnot, he said,
an inquiry into the holding of a policy, but an inquiry
into the death of Walter Palmer. Mr. Deane is here in
the joint capacity of solicitor fur the Crown and for the
insurance offices, and it appears to me now that his ob-
ject is to obtain evidence from Mr. Pratt for ulterior
proceedings.
The Coroner—lt is due to Mr. Deane to state that
he did not summon Mr. Pratt; it was the jury who
wished that this question should be asked.
Mr. Lewis—l have no objection to Mr. Pratt answer-
ing as to whether he has the policy in his possession.
Mr. Pratt—l am the holder of the policy as the soli-
citor of Mr. Palmer.
The Coroner—Was it in your possession previously to
the" 16th of August last 3
,Witness—lt was.
Mr. Lewis—Have you any objection to state what
your loss will be by your transactions with William
Palmer ?

Witness—About 4,0001. in bard cash.
Mr. Deane said that if Mr. Lewis was to ask these
questions, he had better pursue his inquiry a little fur-
ther, for Mr. Pratt could throyv much light on these
insuranJe transactions. As to his getting up a case for
the insuranze offices, that was not so ; they had case
enough already.
Mr. Lewis (to witness)—Have you any lien on the
policy for costs
Witness— I have nothing to say about costs ; there is

no lien of any kind.
The Coroner inquired whether the witness would suffer
any loss if be were paid the whole amount of the policies ?
Witness—Pray do not ask me that question. lam a
young professional man with three children, and have
been nearly ruined by this man. How can you ask use
that question ?
Foreman of the Jury—l am sure we do not wish to
implicate Mr. Pratt.
Witness—Good God, I should think not.
Mr. Lewis remarked that as many statements had
gone firth to the prejudice of Mr. Pratt, he hoped
that observation would go forth to the world.
Mr. Pratt said he was quite willing to tell all he knew.
Mr. Deane—l do not wish to hear privately what
Mr. Pratt has to say ; if he wishes to make a statement,
1)t hits do it to the jury.
The Coroner said that that was not the place to make
any such statement; and after one or two other re-
marks on this subject from Mr. Lewis, this protracted
inquiry closed.
After a brief adjournment the coroner proceeded to
sum up the evidence, which he did fairly and carefully.
He began by cautioning the jury to dismiss from their
minds all the reports which had reached them relative
to this most fearful and distressing case, and to take into
their consideration only the evidence which had' bees
adduced. They must be aware (he said) that many un-
founded statements bad gone forth to the world, state-
ments which showed very much ill-feeling on the part of
those who published them. The first point for them to
consider was how Walter Palmer came by his death, and
whether it was by unfair means. They had abundant evi-
'fence to show that deceased bad been addicted to exces-
sive drinking, and of the eightinedical witnesses examined
out one would say positively that death bad been caused
by poison, but several of them had declared their opinion
that death might have been produced by apoplexy, brought
on by excessive drinking. Dr. Campbell, who had attended
the deceased the year before his death, had stated that

the state of Walter Palmer's health was such that he was
in no way surprised at his sudden death ; he had, in
fact, looked upon it as a probable occurrence. Dr.
Taylor had told them that death might have been pro-
duced by prussic acid ; but the only evidence as to the
purchase of any was by the witness Whyman, who gave
the day of the month the purchase was wade, and said
that he sold to William Palmer one ounce ; he spoke,
however, of the bottle being coloured ; and of the two
bottles seen by the boots at the Junction Hotel, at Staf-
ford, neither was coloured. It should not be lost sight
of, too, that Palmer made no secret about the bottles at
Mr. Lloyd's, and Walkeden swore that the deceased
took nothing for more than half an hour before his
death, whereas Professor Taylor, in his evidence, said
that, in cases of poison from prussic acid, death would
ensue in half an hour. That opinion was corroborated,
too, by the other medical witnesses. It was not true,
either, that William Palmer had an interest of 83,0001.
on his brother's death ; the amount was 13,0001.. and
the policies of insurance for this amount were in the
possession of Pratt. As to the general symptoms prior
to the death of the deceased, and the appearance at the

Post mortenz examination, there was no contradiction
whatever. The Coroner then went through all the
principa • l evidence minutely, and at a quarter past six
o'clock in the evening the jury retired to a private room,
They were enclosed about two hours and a quarter.
On their return the Coroner put the final question as to
whether they were agreed ?
Foreman—We are not.
Coroner—Have the majority agreed ?
Foreman—Twenty•two have agreed to a verdict.
Coroner—What do you find to be the cause of the
. death of. Walter Palmer?

After a pause, the foreman added that the jury wished
' it to be understood that they thought great ,credit was
due to the chief constable and the county constabulary
for bringing these two cases before them,. although they
had been of such a painful chai!iieter- They thought,
too,that application should be mule 11. the (' proper guar-
ter for compensating Mt. 'Willis, of the Talbot Inn, for
the loss he had sustained, the corpse being opened at
his house. !
Mr. Burgen, superintendent of police at Lichfield
(whose improper demeanour and conduct had excited so'
much observation in the afternoon), said a few words of
acknowledgment for the constabulary, in the absence of
1 Capt. Hatton. With reference to compensation to Mr.
Willis, he added it had already been thought of, and
that a public dinner was contemplated.
With this singular remark, indicative of a purpose so
inappropriate in existing circumstances, the court broke,

Mr. Newbon said he could save the Commissioners of
Sewers some trouble by pleading guilty.
Mr. Martin said it would be necessary to take the
evidence of the inspector of nuisances.
Mr. J. Painter was then examined, and said—l am
inspector of nuisances, appointed by the Commissioners
of Sewers. On Wednesday, the 9th of January last, I
was passing through Earl•street, Blackfriars, when I saw
dense volumes of smoke issuing from the chimney-shaft of
the City Flour Mills. I waited there three-quarters of
an hour, and the smoke continued during the whole of
that time. I watched again on Monday, the 14th, and
saw a large quantity of smoke coming from the same
shaft, but it was not so dense as on the former occasion
—still there was a much larger quantity of smoke than
there ought to have been.
Mr. Martin—Did you inform the defendants before
taking out the summons ?
Witness—On the first occasion I went into the mill
and saw the foreman, who told me the smoke was caused
by some bad coal which had been supplied to them by
mistake.

Mr. Martin—Did you see the furnace
Witness—l did not, as my duty is to look only at the
chimney tops.
Alderman Challis—Then, do you never see the fur-
naces before making complaints
Witness—No, sir. My instructions from the Com-
missioners of Sewers are to look only to the chimney-
tops, and to report all places where I find smoke issuing
from.

Alderman Challis-LThen you cannot tell how the fur-
nace is constructed ?
Witness—l know it cannot be constructed to consume
its own smoke, or it would have done so.
Mr. Newbon said Messrs White and Ponsford had
tried several patents for consuming smoke, and had
found them ineffective. They had been at great expense
in trying all kinds of experiments, and at length they
determined to burn a very expensive coal, which emitted
no smoke. They accordingly entered into a contract in
August last for a continuous supply of Welsh smokeless
c gal, at 22g. 14d. per ton ; but, through some accident,
the parties had sent a barge load of inferior coal, which
was being used when the inspector saw the smoke. He
merely mentioned these circumstances in mitigation of
the penalty, because Messrs. White, Ponsford, and Co.
would take care that it should not occur again. Indeed,
they were surprised that the Commissioners of Sewers
should have directed a summons before a magistrate in-
instead of requiring their attendance before the Court of
Sewers, when they might have explained the matter,
and had time to remedy the evil complained of.
Alderman Challis said the Commissioners of Sewers
ouzlit to take steps to ascertain the construction of fur-
naces complained of. However, he did not think it worth
while to inflict any penalty in this case, and he should
therefore adjourn the summons for a month, to allow the
defendants time to rectify the nuisance complained of.
Adjourned accordingly.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles May, an
elderly man, c f respectable appearance, was brought b 6.
fore Mr. Hard wick for final examination, charged with
obtaining money from various bankers and gentlemen by
falsely representing himself to be the son of the late
banker, Mr. Chambers.

An application having been made to Mr. Hardwick to
deal with the case summarily,
Mr. .Hardwick said there were difficulties in the way
of such a course. The case was so flagrant, and extended
over so long a period, that he should recommend the
officer to take the defendant to the City, where the sit-
ting alderman would, no doubt, deal with it proprrly.
If the case could not be dealt with in the City, let them
bring the defendant back to this court, and he would
send him for trial.

Wm,. Ilaslam, a notorious skittle sharper, was brought
before Mr. Hardwick, charged, with two other men not
in custody, with defrauding Jas. Walker, a carpenter,
residing in the Eigeware-road, of 91., under the follow-
ing circumstances . . . _

The prosecutor said he was looking in at a shop win-
dow in Regent-street, on Monday, when a man dressed
like a gentleman's servant came and stood by his side,
and entered into conversation with him about the wea-
ther, the badness of the times, and the war. Prosecutor
was about walking away when the man invited him to
take a glass of ale. Witness accepted the invitation,
and they went to a public-house in Glasshouse-street.
While they were sitting in front of the bar, another mar,
dressed him a gentleman,. entered the place, and im-
mediately called for refreshments. He commenced
talking about his wealth, and said that in order to
get rid of a portion of superflnons cash, he intended
to give 5001. to any poor deserving person who
wanted it. The conversation then turned upon feats
of strength, and the man whom witness took for a gen-
tleman, betted the other man that he could throw an
11.1 b. Call 25 yards. The other man then asked witness
to accompany them to a public-house in Little Pulteney-
street, to settle the bet, which he did. Instead of de-
ciding the bet, the prisoner, who was in the skittle-ground,
proposed a game of skittles. The "gentleman" and
the other man then played, and the prisoner urged him
to bet. He betted twice, and won two sixpences. Pri-
soner then urged him to bet a sovereign on the game,
and he lost nine sovereigns. He at once saw that he was
picked up by a set of sharpers, and told them they had
robbed him. This they stoutly denied, and they then
commenced hustling him about, and after "bonnetting"
him, they ran out of the house. Prosecutor at once went
to the police-station, and related the circumstances to
the police, and in the course of Wednesday afternoon
he accidentally met the prisoner in the street, and gave
him in charge. Prosecutor, in tears, added that he had
saved the money to keep him while out of work, and be
bad now been " taken in and done for." (Laughter.)
The prisoner protested his innocence, and said be was
a respectable master sweep.
A constable here stepped forward, and. said the pri-
soner was a notorious sharper, and if he was remanded,
he (the officer) had no doubt that he could get the other
two men.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday.

A very desperate and extraordinary attempt at mur-
der was made this morning at the establishment of Mr.
Durandu, bullion broker, South Castle-street. About
10 a.m. a couple of young men, named Robert and
Henry Eyre, brothers, were seen hovering about the pre-
mises of Mr. Durandu, about which hour the confiden-
tial clerk, named Wm. Hughes, went to fetch the cash-
box from Mr. Hornby's, jeweller, in the same street,
leaving a lad named Stoddard in charge of the shop.
The fellows entered the shop, asked if the master was in,
and before the lad could give them an answer, the
villains struck the youth on the Iliead with a weapon,
and dragged him senseless into an inner room. They
then waited for the return of the clerk with
the cash-box, which contained from 1,4001. to
1,5001. Upon his entering, the ruffians attacked
him with a poker which they found in the fireplace, and
struck him on the head and over the body—the poker
and a life-preserver having been found broken in the shop.
The cries of murder having attracted some of the neigh-
bours, they rushed in and secured the assassins, and sent
them to Bridewell. William Hughes is dangerously
wounded and not likely to recover, and the lad is also
severely injured.
The prisoners were brought before the magistrates at
the police court at 1 p.m., on the charge of attempting
to commit murder and robbery. The elder (Robert) is
about 22 years of 'age, 5 feet 11 inches in stature, slender
make, but well-looking ; and the younger (Henry) is 18
years old, 5 feet 7 inches high, and of respectable ad-
dress ; but both were poorly clad.
The first witness called was F. Stoddard, the youth
assaulted in the shop. He said—l am office boy to Mr.
Durandu, bullion merchant and money changer. About
a quarter past ten o'clock this morning the prisoner
Robert Eyre entered the shop, where I was at the
time alone, and inquired if the master was within. Be-
fore I had power to give him an answer the prisoner
struck me a blow on the head with a life-preserver,
which knocked me down and rendered me insensible.
On recovering a little, I found that the shorter prisoner
bad hold of my throat. He said that if I spoke it would
be the worse for me ; while the other prisoner said if I
uttered a word he would shoot me. Just at the moment
Win. Hughes, the clerk, came in with the cash-box, when
the prisoners instantly struck at him with a life-preserver
and a poker, which was by the side of the grate. They
knocked him down, and continued to strike him. I
heard the blows, and saw the blood fly from Hughes.
Assistance then came.
Benjamin Levi said—l am assistant to Mr. Joseph,
jeweller, South Castle-street. Shortly after 10 a.m. I
observed young Hughes pass our door with the cash-box
in his hand. Almost immediately afterwards I heard a
noise in Mr. Durandu's shop, and I thought the young
men were skylarking. A t last I heard a struggle and a cry
of murder. I ran into the shop, and found Hughes wel-
tering in his blood. I assisted to secure the prisoners.
Police officer, 403, who accompanied Hughes to the
Northern Hospital, said that the medical men of that
establishment who examined Hughes, said it was their
opinion that the injuries received would in all probabi-
lity prove fatal.
In answer to a question from the magistrate, Mr.
Maxwell, the elder prisoner said—l have been a clerk,
but latterly I have worked about the docks when
could get anything to do. But lately I could not get
work to do, and we were all but starving. My brother
did the same as myself for a living, but like myself could
not obtain work, and was well nigh starving.
The prisoners were remanded for seven days.
The accused are natives of Liverpool, and about 18
months since their father, who was engaged in this town
in the mercantline line, by some means got pDssession of
a 500/. bank post bill that bad been forwarded by a firm
in Liverpool to a house in Glasgow. A few days after
receiving it the father presented it at the counter of
Messrs. Barned's hank in Lord-street, and requested it
to be cashed ; but was declined until a reference should
be given. He afterwards-obtained the money, but was
arrested in a short time with about 4001. upon him,
tried at Liverpool assizes, and sentenced to six years'
penal servitude.

MADRID, Jan. 18.—The news of Russia having
accepted unconditionally the propositions for peace
was received by the Spanish Government last
night, and was communicated at once to our Le-
gation here, a chief of the Spanish Foreign-office
being the hearer of it. Lord Howden had a large
dinner and evening party, several members of the
diplomatic body being present, and on the communi-
cation of the telegraphic despatch to him his Lord-
ship immediately rose and announced it to the as-
sembled guests. It has been the theme of general
conversation to-day, having been published in the
Gazette.
