Mr. Hume has addressed a letter to the Sheriffs of
London, expressing the opinion of himself and the Grand
Jury at the late Central Criminal Court, of which he was
foreman, that those prisoners against whom no bills were
found should be instantly discharged, instead of being de-
tained in prison during the whole week. Mr. Hume and
the Grand Jury also recommended a better classification of
prisoners, tried and untried, in Newgate, and the enforce-
ment of the " silent system."

We are much concerned to hear that Lady Fanny
Ponsonby (late Lady Fanny Lambton) is labouring under
severe indisposition, which gives the most anxious appre-
hension to her friends. Lady Fanny is the only surviving
issue of Lord Durham's first marriage.—Sunderland Herald.
SUBSTITUTE 'FOR STEAM.—Mr. Galt has ad-
dressed a letter to the Greenock Advertiser on the subject
of his discovery, in which be deprecates comments on that
part of his discovery which lie " considered best in the first
instance to communicate." Mr. Galt thinks the discossr'Y
the most important that has been made in hydrostatic science,
and an immeasurable means of application." I will de-
velope it, says Mr. Galt, so that every one may as easily try
it as boil a kettle ; for like all truths it is very plain, and
rests on a law of nature as simple as attraction. It is indeed
a seeming cause of it, and may be essential to it. I only
beg a short tune's indulgence till I collect my evidence
together."

-HATFIELD HOUSE.—HATFIELD, THURSDAY
EVENING.—We were misinformed respecting the discovery
of the body of the lamented Marchioness ; it has not
been found. The account we gave had been brought to
Salisbury-House, in Arlington-street, by a Mr. Gibbs, one
of her Ladyship's tradesmen, who said he had the informa-
tion from the spot. Between three and four o'clock on
Wednesday morning, the whole household was thrown into
a state of the greatest alarm by a deafening crash,- followed
by a heavy shock that made the whole fabric tremble. On
the domestics hastening to ascertain what had occurred,
they discovered that a large portion of one of the central
stack of chimneys, comprising amongst them those of the
Marchioness's bed and dressing-rooms, had fallen in in a
slanting direction across the ruins of both these apartments.
A large portion of the tie-wall (about forty feet) fell with
them, and altogether not less than 600 tons of rubbish
were heaped over the spot where the remains of the body
are supposedto be lying. Amongst the ruins already dug
out underneath the bed-room of the Marchioness was found
the iron curtain-rod of her bed, and also the iron-screws of
the bed-posts. Part of a copper tea-kettle, which was
standing on the hob of the Marchioness's dressing-room,
was found in a fused state ; and the marble chimney-piece
of the room was completely pulverized by the action of the
fire on it. The number of apartments destroyed by the
conflagration were fifteen attics, ten rooms on the first story,
ten rooms underneath, and eight servants' rooms on the
lower part of the premises, besides two of the tower stair-
cases and the ground staircase of the chapel.
COUNT LAS CASES'S MEMOIRS OF NAPO-
LICON.—The third shilling part of the new edition of this
most interesting work (to be completed in about 20 parts,
uniformly with Byron and Scott) is announced, we ob-
serve, to appear to-morrow, embellished with an engra-
ving by Landells, of the return of Napoleon from Elba,
and his entrance into the:Tuilleries, borne on the shoulders
of the populace. Amongst the numerous memoirs of this
most extraordinary man, it is allowed by every unbiassed
person, that those of Las Cases, which emanated from St.
Helena, after Napoleon was transported to that Island,
are the most authentic as well as the most entertaining.
They are not only of vivid interest and high importance
to the living generations, but will be a standard work of re-
ference, in all probability, to every succeeding one—exhibit-
ing, as they do, the private feelings and secret motives of
Napoleon under the circumstances of his captivity, and
throwing a light upon all contemporary history. We
therefore consider their publication, on the present plan
of cheap weekly issue in shilling numbers, to be a great
acquisition, more especially as the high price (four guineas)
at which they were originally published, placed them be-
yond the means of the middle classes, to whom we would
now strongly recommend them, as throwing a great light
upon our own domestic affairs, and as constituting a very
important guide for all those who seek for truth, without re-
ference to any party.
