THE LATE STEAM BOAT ACCIDENT.

ADMIRALTY COURT.-THURSDAY.

Wrn. Allen and Richard Clarke, the captain and pilot of
the Adelaide Edinburgh steam-boat, were brought up by
writ of Habeas Corpus from Newgate, in the custody of
the Governor. _ _ _

Mr. BODKIN, on their behalf, applied to his Lordship to
admit them to bail. '

The depositions taken before the Magistrates when the
prisoners were examined before them, were read.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of opinion that the pri-
soners ought to be admitted to bail, and directed that they
do enter into their own recognizances in 1001. each, and
find four sureties in 251. each, for their appearance to take
their trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal
Court.

The required sureties were immediately entered into,
and the prisoners were discharged.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THURSDAY

LYDE V. BARNARD.

In this case, a few days ago, a rule had been obtained by
Mr. Sergeant Bompas to show cause why a new trial should
not be granted in this case, in t.onsequence of Lord Abinger,
before whom it was tried, having directed a nonsuit. The
action was brought by the plaintiff to recover 9991., which,
it was alleged, he was induced to advance to Lord Edward
Thynne, in consequence of a false representation by the
defendant.

Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT now showed cause against the
rule for a new trial.

Lord ABINGER observed that it was a case of importance,
and wishing to hear some new points, the Court would post-
pone its decision for a few days.

NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS.

This being the morrow of St. Martin's, the Sheriffs were
nominated in this Court.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER took his seat on
the right of the Lord Chief Baron, in his robes of state,
shortly after two o'clock, and called upon Mr. J. Jervis for
a motion of course.

The Right Hon. Gentleman then retired, accompanied
by the Judges, and shortly afterwards returned into Court
and took his seat on the Bench, together with the Marquis
of Lansdowne, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancel-
lor, Lord Abinger, Chief Justice Tindal, and Mr. Baron
Parke. The other Judges, not being Privy Councillors,
took their seats in front of the Bench, on the floor of the
Court.

After the usual oaths had been administered, the nomi-
nation of Sheriffs was proceeded with.
A number of gentlemen were struck out of the list, in
consequence of their being Members of Parliament.
Mr. Baron PARKE stated that Mr. Hughes Hughes,
M.P., who was down in the list for the county of South-
ampton, was willing to waive his privilege, and to serve
that office.

This, however, was objected to by other Learned Judges,
on the ground that the offices were incompatible, as no
persons could attend to the duties of both.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 11.—The average prices of
Wheat and Rye during the first week in November, were
15f. 1 le., and 91. 27c. The import duties, therefore, are
respectively 37f. 50c., and 211. 50c. per 1,000 kilogram-
mes. The cargo of the English brig, which is in the roads
of St. Maria, is to undergo the process of fumugation. It
seems that the wool was taken on board at a time when the
plague was raging at Constantinople, because the Captain
would not wait some weeks to complete his cargo.—Brus-
sels Papers,
HOMER.--Few topics have engaged the attention
of the learned of all ages, but especially of the last half
century, more than an endeavour to ascertain the time
and everything else connected with this father of the
Muses ; yet a recent and erudite writer upon the subject
is, after all, compelled to confess that "we know not who
he was, when he lived, or what he actually sung."

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1835.

taking his seat behind a coach in Tottenham-mews. Wit-
ness told him to go away, which he did, but making use of
the most abusive language, and saying that all the police
were a set of thieves. Witness saw him again an hour
afterwards standing outside a public-house. His face was
not then tied up.
Police-constable Collins, E 58, stated that on Sunday
morning, after the deceased had complained to the inspector
that he had been ill-used by a policeman, witness saw him
standing outside the station-house door in company with a
man dressed like an ostler, who said to him, " Are you
sure he hit you on the wound you received a day or two
ago ?" The deceased replied, " Yes ;" and added, " but he
made it bleed." Deceased then went away.

There being no further evidence,
Mr. GREGORIE said that he thought it very probable
that the deceased had died in a fit ; but he considered it
necessary, and should feel much obliged to Mr. Burgess
(the surgeon of St. Giles's workhouse) if he would, in the
course of the afternoon, make an internal examination of
the head, and report to him the result at the evening sitting.
Mr. Burgess replied that he would do so, and immediately
left the office for that purpose.
On the arrival of Mr. GREGORIE, Mr. Burgess, who was
in attendance, stated that he had not been able to make the
required examination, his time being so much engaged ; and
the medical gentleman who by his request had undertaken
the task, could not possibly attend till the next day.
Mr. GREGORIE then ordered the prisoner to be detained
at the station-house for the night, arid brought up again to-
morrow (this day) at one o'clock.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday a female, possessing the externals of great re-
spectability, was brought up for re-examination before Mr.
CHAMBERS, charged with having stolen a variety of articles
from different stands in the Soho Bazaar.

Mr. CHAMBERS inquired what had induced her to com-
mit the offence ?—The prisoner was unable to give any
reason. She could not tell what had induced her to dis-
grace herself in such a manner, except that she must have
been mad at the time.
Mr. CHAMBERS directed that she should be brought up
for further examination to-day.
Sergeant M'Donnell, from information which he received,
suspecting that some of the articles found on the prisoner,
and not yet identified, had been stolen from the Pantheon
Bazaar, proceeded there to make inquiries. He soon learned
that a female answering the description of the prisoner had
been seen in the Bazaar on Wednesday afternoon ; and on
producing the articles, several of the standholders came for-
ward and identified portions of the property which they had
missed from their stands. The parties were requested to
attend at the next examination and give evidence, if need-
ful, before the Magistrates.
