The Prosecution of Mr. Eyre.

In reference to the letter from Mr. Eyre's attor-
ney, which appeared in the papers on the 14th ult.,
the following letter has been sent to Mr. Rose by
Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe. We are informed that,
in consequence of Mr. Eyre'S declining to come for-
ward to share the responsibility of the charge upon
which Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand have
been committed by Sir Thomas Henry to take their
trial at next session at the Old Bailey, an application
for a warrant against Mr: Eyre will be made at the
next petty sessions to be held at Market Drayton,
in the neighbourhood of which—viz., at Adderley-
hall—Mr. Eyre is now residing
"8, Bedford-row, London, W. 0., Feb. 22.
"Dear Sir,—A few weeks ago I informed you that I ex-
pected shortly to be in a position to commence proceedings
against your client, Mr. Eyre, in reference to the recent
outbreak in Jamaica ; and I asked you whether, when I was
ready to commence, you would leave me to take proceedings
as I might find it possible to bring him within the jurisdic-
tion of the magistrate, or whether, upon my giving notice to
you, you would arrange for him at once to corns forward
and meet the charge, and so avoid being looked after by
policeman. In reply, you said that you did not wish him
to be annoyed by proceedings in his own neighbourhood,
at Adderley, in Shropshire, and that if I would inform you
when 1 proposed commencing proceedings, you would
bring him to town for the purpose of meeting the charge:
"In consequence of this conversation, Mr. Stephen said
on the Gth inst., at Bow-street, from my instructions, that
Mr. Eyre's solicitor had said that upon not!co he would
come forward at once, and would be most ready and will-
ing to meet any charge that might be brought against Lino.
" On the afternoon of the same day I called at your ogee
and finding you were not that day at business, I left word
that I had commenced proceedings and that I should be
glad, in accordance with our arrangement, if you would
send for Mr. Eyre to come to town.
" On the Bth inst. you wrote to my firm, in a letter which
you published in the papers on the 14th, as follows,--`1
have read with astonishment in the daily papers the state-
ment made by Mr. Stephen, on the occasion of Mr.
rill
and Mr. Peter Taylor attending before the magistrate at
Bow-street, to apply for warrants against Colonel Nelson
and Lieutenant Brand for murder, that I had undertaken
that Mr. Eyre should attend where and whenever the
agents of the Jamaica Committee should require him. I
need scarcely say I never gave any such undertaking,
.°r
ever expressed any desire or intention to aid the J0,131;110
Committee in their prosecution ;' and, after some further
observations you add, Mr. Eyre declines the invitation to

attend at Bow-street.'
" At first sight, this letter appears inconsistent with th°
views you expressed to me as above stated, and upon which
.Stephen ; I am told, however, by a
I instructed M- St coal
mon friend that your explanation is that when you told
me you would bring Mr. Eyre to town to meet any charge,
when I should be ready to prefer one, you believed that
was intending to proceed under the Colonial Governors
Act, and not under the Criminal Law Consolidation Act,
or, as you phrased it, the Murder Act.' If so, I can onto
reply that in our conversation not a word was said as to
the nature of the contemplated proceedings, or as to the
Act under which they would be taken ; and I think, there-
fore the astonishment expressed in your letter of the Bth
of February is itself somewhat surprising.
" With regard to the position you have now taken up,
of
of
course neither I nor my clients in any way complain
your taking any steps on behalf of your client which you
may be advised are for his interest ; but as you have pub-
licly imputed motives to the Jamaica Committee wbiugc'h
have no existence, I take this opportunity of explaini
their view of the matter.
"They have no wish to deprive Colonel Nelson and
Lieutenant Brand of any advantage they may expect to
derive from the evidence of Mr. Eyre, and whether there
is ono trial or two is to them a matter of comparative in-
difference ; bat they certainly would wish that the pre-
liminary proceedings should take place,where of course the
final trial must, in London. They are desirous of avoiding
th© great expense and inconvenience of taking witnesses
and counsel to Shropshire, and encumbering the Shrop-
shire Assizes with a case of this kind.—l am, dear
sir,
yours truly, sHAVI.
" J. A. Rose, Esq."

out, and forced into brightness, like a cynical man com-
pelled to smile upon society, but waiting to indemnify
himself when the social period shall be over. And all the
scone, the frowning mountain, the forests over the abyss

the softer hills and the silent village, were bathed in tho

glow of a glorious sun, who, if according to southern
superstition he looks down somewhat rarely on Scotland,

ooks on her with no grulging gaze whoa ho beams ou'

upon her unequalled scenery.

MR. COXWELL'S LECTURES AT TIIE COLLEGES.—
On Thursday last at Winchester, and on March 2d at
Marlborough College, Mr. Coxwell lectured on the subject
of Ballooning, wkich was considered not only in its scien-
tific but its popular aspect. A variety of experiments and
miniature ascents took place, affording amusement and
instruction to the young gentlemen. The Warden o
Winchester College has expressed that considerable gratifi-
cation was afforded by Mr. Coxwell's lecture on ballooning,
and GOO scholars at Marlborough College were equally well
pleased.
THE ELECTION FOR THE NORTH RIDING.—The

election of a knight of the shire, in the room of the pre-
sent Lord Faversham, is appointed to take place at York
this day. There will be no opposition, the only candidate
being the Hon. Octavius Duncombo, uncle to the late mem-
ber, and, like him, a Conservative.
THE GREAT EASTERN.—This vessel is now nearly

reedy for her new duties—that of conveying passengers

from New York to Brest for the Paris Exhibition. She
has undergone very extensive alterations by Messrs. For-
rester and Company (who of course made several sub-con-
tracts), of the Vauxhall Foundry. She has received new
boilers for the screw engines, and a new shaft for the paddle
engines; and Messrs. Forrester have also built for her use
a steel steam launch, 50 feet long by 20 feet wide. A steam
steering apparatus has also been introduced. The space
last occupied by the cable tanks has been fitted up with
cabins, births, and state-rooms for passengers. These
apartments, numbering over 500, are lofty and convenient.
There will be berths for 3,000 passengers. The saloon ac-
commodation has been much increased. The deck saloon
is a splendid apartment, 140 feet long, and 24 feet wide,
and will admit of 500 persons dining together. There are
several smaller baloons. Altogether 2,000 persons may dine
at once. The decorations are of the best and most elegant
character. The total outlay of this refitting will of course
be immense; one estimate falls little short of £lOO,OOO.
The "great ship" will leave the Mersey for New York on
the 20th inst.—Liverpool Albion.
CANONBURY TOWER.—This curious old residence
is now to let, and, standing as it does in a maze of streets
and squares, it is difficult to realise that it was once part
of a great manorial residence in the centre of a large and
finely timbered park of many hundred acres. The tower
was always a detached structure from the original mansion,
and formed part of the erections of Prior Bolton, of St. Bar-
tholomew, Smithfield. Stow says that "he builded of
new the manor of Canonbury at Islington, which belonged
to the canoes of that house," and the pr:or's device of a
bolt in a tun is still to be seen in the garden wall. Soon
after the year 1570 the este' o came into the possession of
Sir J. Spencer, citizen and clothier, whose daughter mar-
ried Lord Compton, and to this mari;age the Northamp-
ton family is indebted for its present valuable property, the
park palings and old oak trees of Miss Spencer's time hav-
ing been exchanged for Compton-terraces, Marquis-roads,
and Aboyne Castle Taverns. The present house consists
of Prior Bolton's tower, with additions made to its sides by
Sir J. Spencer. It is 60ft. high, and contains a fine oak
staircase leading to the various apartments. From the
roof, 30 years since, the Thames was visible as far as
Gravesend. The rooms are 23 in number, but only two
contain the original oak pannellings of sir john's time.
These are both good sized chambers. in the one the fire-
place is surmounted by tete figures representing Faith and
Hope, with the mottoes " Tides Via Deus Mea," and 1, spee
Uerta Supra" Above is the Spencer coat of arms. The old
housee called Canonbury-place were probably erected on
the site of the old quadrangle in the reign of Elizabeth.
In the wall of one of them is a stone with the date 1362.
This probably formed part of one of the earlier manor
houses erected by the canons. It is to be hoped the pre-
sent noble proprietor will take care that future tenants do
not commit unnecessary acts of vandalism in their altera-
tions; as it is, most of the rooms havo been injudiciously
rearranged. It seems almost a pity that it could not be
kept rap as a museum for old local prints and antiquities.
FOREIGN EGGS.—The ever-increasing import into
this country of eggs from abroad reached in the year 1866
the enormous number of 438,878,880.
SUGAR USED IN BREWING.—We are requested
to state that in account No. 12 of the Trade and Naviga-
tion accounts for the twelve months ended 31st December
last, the quantity of " sugar used in brewing" in England
in the year 1866 is, by a clerical error, stated to be
1,414,000 cwts., instead of 141,000 cwts. The total for the
United Kingdom should therefore be 145,437 c7te., instead
of 1,418,037 cwts..

POLICE INTELLIGERCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WILFUL DAMAGE.--Henry Blades, of No. 3, Savile-
street, Marylebone, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being drunk and wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the
value of £4, the property of Mr. Samuel South, of the Earl
Russell, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital.
Mr. Stephen Cully, manager to Mr. South, saw the
defendant, who had been d► inking, in the house, and who
went to sleep. He tried to rouse him, and while doing so
some of the defendant's companions threw some water on
the defendant, upon which the defendant began abusing
him (Mr. Cully). He put up with defendant's abuse for
some time, and then put him out of the house, and as soon
as he had done so the defendant took xp a stone and
throw it through a pane of glass of the value of £4.
Tho defendant said ho was thrown out of the house, and
his head dashed on the stones. _

Mr. Cully denied this, stating that the defendant fell on

IC stones.

Dlr. Henry Gibbs, decorator, Z,5, Wells-street, proved
seeing the defendant throw the stone through the window.
The defendant said that ho took up the stone in a passion,
but did not mean to throw it at the window.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—The defendant will have to pay the
damage £4 and a fine of £1 or a month.
The defendant—What if I don't pay tho money ?
Mr. Tyrwhitt—A month's imprisonment.
Tho defendant—Then I'll go to prison.

THAMES.
DRUNK AND INCAPABLE.—d majority of the cases
brought under the notice of Mr. Partridge this morning
were, in the phraseology of the police-sheets, "drunk and
incapable," and, with two exceptions, the offenders were
married women. Mr. Partridge repeated the observation
of his colleague made yesterday that he regretted to find
so much drunkenness among females. Mary Ann Taylor
and Susanna Jane Jones were fined bs. each. Johanna
Canby, an Irishwoman, made a very good defence in justi-
fication of being drunk and incapable :—" The wind took
fast hould of her last night, and some brandy flow to her
head, bekase she was not accustomed to that same, and she
stumbled and fell. She was unable to get up again until the
policeman raised her. She had Live young ("tinder at home,aud
if the magistrate would forgive her, never a drop of brandy
would she ever put to her lips again."
Mr. Partridge—lt is very disgraceful of you to get drunk.
I will excuse you this time. Go home to your children.
Mary Ann Mitchell, a woman about 30 years of age, was
charged with being drunk and incapable. Her face was
bruised, she had a fearful black eye, and there were other
indications of her having been brutally treated on her head

and face.
John Chester, 2311, said he found the prisoner helplessly
intoxicated in Leman-street last night.
The prisoner—My husband has ill-used me for the last
seven years. Look how ho has served me.
Mr. Partridge—Because you get drunk, I am afraid.
The prisoner—No, sir ; my life is wretched; ho has
driven me to drink.
Mr. Partridge—Where did you get that terrible black
eye ?
Prisoner—My husband struck me and knocked me about
last Wednesday night.
Mr. Partridge—lf he has been in the practice of ill-using
you, why not apply to a magistrate for protection ?
The prisoner—l have taken out summonses against him,
and he has never attended to them.
Mr. Partridge—Then you could have had a warrant, and
he would have been brought here in custody.
Chester said that many police constables knew the pri-
soner to boa respectable woman.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been several times to the court to complain of the brutality
of her husband.
Mr. Partridge—how very foolish of you to give way to
drinking habits. Keep sober in future. You are dis-
charged ; and I will let you have a summons against your
husband. If you are brought here again you will be
punished if you are found in this disgraceful position.
Eliza Clark, an elderly woman, was charged by police-
constable Church, 304 K, with being drunk and disorderly
last night in the station-house adjoining the court. Church
said the prisoner came to the station-house inebriated, and
demanded an order for the casual ward of Mile-end-old
town Workhouse. She was told to stand aside, and that
she would be attended to in a few minutes. She then
uttered a volley of abuse, obscenity, and blasphemy, and
instead of an order for the casual ward, was locked up.
Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner ono shilling.
