LAMBETH-S: PEET.

After the ordinary business of the c•iurt had terminated on
Thursday evening, Nehemiah Shakqearc, late an engineer in
the employment of Mr. H. Johnson, cigar manufacturer, at
No. 35, Gloucester street, Commercial-road-east, surrendered
to his bail, and appeared befsre Mr. Norton for final examina-
tion on a charge at having wilfully and maliciously caused the
explosion of a steam-boiler, by which the lives of upwards of
seventy individuals were placed in jeopardy.
Mr. Duncombe, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the
prisoner.

It will be recor.eeted that Mr. Johnston's suspicion as to the
guilt of the accused rested upon the fact of his finding, on en-
tering the engine-room on the morning of the explosion, at
eight o'clock, all the appearauces to indicate that there was an
abundant supply of water in the boiler, and the prisoner him-
self, in a conversation at that time, admitted that the pump
worked so well that it more than sufficiently: supplied the boiler
without any other source. There were other circumstances
which strengthened the :suspicion, and those were, that imme-
diately after the explosion Mr. Johnston observed the prisoner
smiling, even after he had said to him, " Well, Shassp-are,
you have done a pretty thing ;" and believing he was so amiiina,
said to a friend who was with him, " See, the villain smiles,"
and though his master had then said he would give him into
custody he left the yard under pretence of going fur his jacket,
and did not return before the Thursday morning, when he was
given into custody. It will also he recollected, that on the last
examination Mr. Fennell an engineer, and Mr. Mar-hall, tt.e
maker of the boiler in question, swore positively that it was
their decided opinion that the explosion took place solely from
want of water.

Dlr. Johnston, the complainant, was cress examined at very
considerable length by the prisoner's solicitor. He said that
between three and four months ago he purchased the boiler in
question from Mr. J. Marshall, of Colchester street, White-
chapel, and paid him 451. for it. He did not think at the time
that it was new, and thought he got a great bargain. He
did not know whether the boiler had been used before, or
who used it, nor did he knew the person who h.‘d set it. It
was set by a person who was recommended to him by the
foreman of the engineer who fitted up the engine, and the
fi•ting up took place under the prisoner's personal observa-
tion. There was a collapse of the upper part of the flue before
the prisoner took charge of the boiler, but not to any extent,
as it did not exceed the size of his hand. This was occa
stoned, no doubt, by want of water, but it did not seriously
injure the boiler. lielieved the plate, or ,übstatiee of the
boiler, as well as that part of the flue that gav:i way to be
three-eighths of an inch in thickness, and it was warranted to
him to bear 501 b. weight of steam to the square inch. Had
neither a steam nor water-gauge to the engine.
Duyght, who was in the employment of Mr. Johnston, and used
to drive the engine before the prisoner was engaged, admitted
that the pumps which supplied the boiler with water had been
frequently out of order, and that the prisoner and himself
used to set them to right. He admitted that they had done so
two or three times within a month.

Williams, another servant of Mr. Johnston, in his cross-
examination, said that on the morning in question the engine
was stopped tw:ce, to repair the at. se of a roller in ti e saw-
room. On the first occasion it was set to work, hut had not
taken many strokes when he (witness) saw hi• strap giving :say,
and called out to the prisoner to stop it, which he did, and in
ten minutes after the explosion took place.
Mr. NoitToN— ! hen, was the engine stopped when the ex-
plosion took place ? Witness—Yes, Sir, it was ; I'm sure
of that.

Mr. Johnston--And it is still more extraordinary, if this be
true and I have vow heard i for the first time, that tour of
the flanges of the fly-wheel, which were of Brea, strength, and
which were quite out of the reach of the butler,
.should have
been broken to pieces.
Mr. Marshall, in his cross- examination, ,aid he had sold the
boiler to Air. Johnston four months ago, for 4.5/. It had been
made by hint about four years ago, as an experimental boiler,
but had net been tried. He considered the boiler sold by him
to Mr. Johnston a perfectly safe one with care, and attributed
the occurrence solely to a want of water; and added, it was
self-evident it was so.

This was the whole of the evidence in support of the charge.
Mr. Duncombe called Mr. Cater, a boiler-maker of th• South-
wark•bridtge-road, who depo.ed that the boiler in question wag
such as should not have been put up or considered safe ; on the
contrary, it was highly dangerous for such a purpose.
The witness, in reply to Mr. Norton, admitted that the im-
msdiate cause of the explosion was the want of water.
Mr. Bruton, of the firm of Bruton and Sons, John-street,
Blackfriars, engineers, said he had examined the boiler in
question, and considered it unfit for the purpose for which it
had been used. In his opinion it was a "doomed" boiler,
and its destruction with a pressure of steam was inevitable
some time or other. In fact, he should pronounce it highly
dangerous.
Air. Manwaring, of York-street, York-road, corroborated a
great part of Mr. Burton's evidence, and said, that the sub-
stance of the tube in th' boiler was not more than a quarter of
an inch thick.

Mr. NORTON obsereed, that with regard to the criminal
charge against the pr,soner he would at once get rid of it, as he
did not tnink that any jury would find him guilty of it, and
with respect to the negligence the witnesses called had re-
moved that charge alto from his mind. In conclusion he could
only say, that it affurkled him pleasure to acquit the accused of
the charge.
THAMES-POLICE.

On Friday Captain Murray, master of the Coquette, was
charged under the Merchant Seamen's Act with abandoning a
black seaman, named Thomas Duncan, on the coast of Africa,
about four and a half years since.
The complainant, a powerful and intelligent negro, stated,
that about five years since he was engaged ender articles by the
defendant to go on a trading voyage to the western coast of
Africa. Whilst at anchor off the coast, Captain Murray being
at the time on shore, the crew contrived to get at some spirits,
and they all became intoxicated. Complainant partook of
some of the sftts, but had no part in procuring them ; there
were several roomen on board, but they were not intoxicated.
This happened on a Saturday night, and_ when the captain
came on board next day he ordered the men to work, but being
Sunday they refused. Complainant being one of thoFe wno
refused, the captain ordered him forward to the forecastle for
the purpose of delivering him up to the natives, sonic of whom
were on board. Nut wishing to he put into the hands and
placed at the disposal of a naked and barbarous people, he re-
fused to submit. A signal was then passed ashore, upon which
a party of the natives armed with guns and cutlasses came on
board, and complainant was given into their custody, and after
some time he was taken 20 miles up the country, where he re-
mained seven months, and never saw the lace of a white man
during the time, except that once before being taken up the
country he saw Captain Murray. On that occas.on hY rem,.n-
strated on the cruelty of being left behind amongst a barbarous
people, but the capta n took no heed of his entreaties. Com-
plainant ultimately got back in another vessel to Liverpool, and
the reason why this charge had not been made before was that
he had not fallen in with the captain until lately.
Captain Murray, in his defence, said that when he got on
board on the Sunday he fend eve' ything in a state of the ut-
most confusion, and all the men swearing riotously. He then
learned that they had broached some spirit casks, and taken
more than two gallons. The defendant then entered into a
detailed narrative, from which he would have it appear that the
crew were in a state of mutiny. When he wanted to search
their chests to discover the spirits, the complainant and others
swore that they would not suffer him: Things rose to suet; a
height that he fired two guns, upon which the native king sent
down some of his people, and complainant, who was most riot-
ous, and encouraged the others, was put ashore, whilst another
of the ringleaders was put in irons.
Evidence of the facts complained of was then given, and
Mr. BannasertnE called on the defendant to put in bail, him-
self in 801. and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the charge
at the Old Bailey.
Mr. Pelham appeared on behalf of the Lascars on board the
Thames, to whose alleged pitiable condition public attention
has been directed, in consequence of inquests held upon two
of the men, whose death was supposed to be the result of
neglect.
rabial SSW tat UP paw tor vimb eppostad

were 73 in number, belonging to an old Indiaman called the
Thsme.. which. for the lass- tst o rnonthF, had been in tEe 1 err
of Loridon. The vrs•ei leteriged. to Mr. ern. of Bristol,
and the men had been hired, at Calcutta, lir one of their wan
€lllWrym, n, who sac aLswerabie, at the hazard of his life or
perpetual loss of lit,eity, for acting that they were paid, at Kell
as for protecting them against any ill-usage, He was
structed to say that they had been so badly treated during the
voyage, that the original serang ran away at the Isle of Frances
after having lodged a complaint in one of the Court' there,
against the captain, trawled Baker, who was fined in a sum al
2,000 rupees, and this fine was attempted to be put up as a 'el'
off against the claims of these poor Lascars for wages due t°
them. When the serang ran away, the duty devolved att th?,
tit-vial, or mate, named Kadder Brix, who was anxious to loo'
after and protect his countryses. After the late inquest sign°
humane persons called oa him (Mr. Pelham) to retain hit°
on behalf of these poor Lasears, and he understood that their
chief complaint arose out of the want of a sinfficiency of proper
food. They were in a starving condition in addition, to the Id'
juries they hid received, and by which some of them had been
deprived of the use of their limbs. They were about now t°
be sent back to their own country in a ship called the Svphiss
which was to sail the next day, but they were unwilling t°
leave without receiving their wages, which collectively
amounted to a sum of 2631. 18s.
Mr. BA LLANTINt said he had nothing to do with the quit'
tion of wages.
Mr. l'etnain said, that what the parties now complained of
was, that they were subjected to the tyranny of the master'
who was a cruel, uneducated man, denying them the absolute
necessaries of life ; insomuch that they had even gone that
very morning without any breakfast.
Mr. BA LLA NTINE directed Inspector Maddox, of the Thaing
police, to inquire into the mat, er, and to ascertain if there le°
any foundation for the complaints.
Silo, tly after the departure of the inspector, Mr, Barker'
broker to the Thames, presented himself before'the Magistrates
and stated he understood that a number of black men had been
making complaints as to food and wages. The fact wet, that
they hail received more pay than they were entitled to,
had done no work since they came into the Downs, and as they
it hs
cost 7i;/. to bring the vessel up. They were the greatest tar
cals imaginab'e-•e-had stolen everything they coal(' lay their
hands on in the vessel, and would steal the ship itself if it sari
portable.
Inspector Maddox returned a little before five o'clock, ha"
caretully investigated the whole case: He found that the men
were allowed twe whole sheep per week to last for three Jaye'
and to be cooked in their own fashion. For. the other AA!r
days they were showed fresh and salt fish. In addition to tht
they had four sacks of rice, weighing 16.51 b., with a like amotniti
of sonic other sort of pulse, with potatoes, greens, turnips, a°,
other vegetables. and oa the whole they appeared to be or,
well led. Their gre..t anxiety seemed to be to possess thee'
selves of the money witch they said was due to them, but whir"
if they got there would be no likelihood of their leaving by tb
So; hia.

O,TIBI,LWAY INDIANS.
IL The " Ojibbeway Indians" visiting Britain,
Is a matter concerning which much has been written.
Some folks aro, it seems, at a loss to conceive
Why they ventur'd their own native country to leave.
Many say 'twas to see the young Quenon her throne,
And such is a likely opinion, we own ;
But let us endeavour (for that will be best),
To set the whole matter completely at rest.
One reason, perhaps, why the foreigners came,
Was to visit our wonderful houses of fame.
Such a thing they would never have done,
Bad they not been induced by E. MOSES and SON.
We have often asserted (and not in vain boast),
That our fame is in many a far-distant coast ;
And thus the Ojiblieway Indians heard
Of the warehouse by which the whole world appears stired ;
And hence, with a high curiosity smitten,
They, doubtless, determined on visiting Britain.
Then success to the Indians lasting success !
And may they be tempted to alter their " dress."
Our clothing is made on a much better plan,
And will do them more service than their garments can.
And thus will they profit by what they have done
In corning to visit E. MOSES and SON.

Being a collection of Engravings of Views in all countries,
Portraits of Great Men, and specimens of Works of Art of all

pages of letter-press, uniform with " China,

Three Premiums will be given with the 4th, Bth, and 12th
Parts. (See Prospectus.)
" This is the first Number of a very superior work, both with
regard to engraving and printing; and the letter-press matter
is exceedingly good. The present mania for illus trations must
ridiculous, in the attempt at pictorial embellishment ; and,
therefore, we are the better pleased when plates of such sand,
therefore, bring into the market much that borders on the
rior kind are brought before us. And the four in this Number
may fairly challenge comparison with their numerous brethren
that have preceded them. Whalers attacked by Bears,' is
a gem of art ; and Ave Marie,' is as characteristic as it is
well executed. We are glad to see so excellent a work com-
mence with the new year; there is every chance, judging from
the ecimen before us, of the speculation proving a successful
one.' —Court Gazette.

THE BUDGET.
The Minister of Finance, after having presented
Bills for the allocation of the extraordinary and sup-
plementary credits! of 1843 and 1844, and of the
closed estimates, brought forward the budget fur
1845. For some years past, he said, the Government
.had been obliged to depart from the principles which,
in ordinary times, ought to direct the administration
of finances. The income of the State had been below
its expenditure. Had they followed the example
of a neighbouring country, and permanently omit-
ted putting down the sum annually applied for
clearing off the public debt, and hadtlre
been consecrated to that purposeonly the eventual
excess of the receipts over the expenses, a balance
would have been attained long since. But not only
did the constantly increasing elevation of the public
funds oblige the Government to suspend the neton
of a considerable share of the sinking fund, but the
faith due to engagements previously entered info,l
and the enactments of the financial code, imposed it on
them as a duty, to reckon this expense amongSt those
various expenses which ought to be disposed of with
the ordinary revenues of the country. Besides, the
unemployed funds had received a special allocation,!'
and the balance would not he a sincere one which!
would leave them involved either in,totality or in part.
It was not alone the pre-existing debt that was to hei
included in the usual budgets, but the interest of
the sums expended in the groat public works were
to be successively added to it, whether they were
due .to the sinking fund, or to the creditors of
the floating debt. From this there arose each year
a new expense, which rendered the final arrange-
ment and equilibrium more difficult. Yet the ambition
of the Government—as it was their duty—was to
bring this abnormal state of things to a close as speedily
as possible. If in 1844 they had resigned themselves
to still remain as they were, it was because they were
allowed to anticipate the period when a balance would
be attained. The Chamber was already aware that
the provisions of the Government had not been erro-
neous. They had been able to obtain for 184.5 a ba-
lance in the receipts over the expenditure—and that
without in any way going out of the regular course
of things—without any increase of burdens to the
public, or any postponement of useful and necessary
expenses. The credits given, in the budget which he
was about to have the honour of laying before the
Chamber, were calculated with the same exactitude
as that for 1844; and certain departments, which ex-
perience had proved to be insufficiently provided for,
were to receive a necessary addition of funds. The
means by which this result of obtaining a surplus
had been effected, were simply the augmenta-
tion of indirect produce—the resources arising from
the careful enforcement of the laws—and the savings
which a severe examination had produced in certain
departments of the public service. These means were
sufficient to provide for the augmentations which he
alluded to above, and to fill up the chasm of about- 28
millions which were required to constitute an equili-
brium. Before entering on the details of the budget
for 1845, he should briefly enumerate the deficiencies
that had existed in the last few years. His prede-
cessor, in bringing forward his financial statement for
1843, had estimated the deficiences of the estimates
for 1840, 1841, and 1842, at 372,443,207 f. Last
year the deficiency of the four estimates, from 1840
to 1843 inclusively, were valued at • 371,609,072 f.,
and at present they found that the whole deficiency for
the five years, from 1840 to 1844 inclusively, was only
360,616,239 f. The estimates of 1843 and 1844
being down for 94 millions in this result, there was
definitively an amelioration of 106 millions on the
other three estimates. As this situation was capable
of still further amelioration, it ought not to excite asto-
nishment if he declared, with still greater confidence
than last year, that after 1846 the reserves of the
sinking fund would be disposable for the great public
works. It was even possible that a part of the re-
serve of 1846 itself might be so employed. On
January 1, 1845, the reserves of the years 1842,
1843, and 1844 would have been realised. They
would amount to 209,974,974 f., and the arrears of
the five years' estimates would weigh on the floating
debt only for 1.51,301,265 f. That debt—charged in
addition to the old deficiencies, which, he had
stated, amounted to 256,029,250 f.—with the aid of
the constant anticipations of the excess of -each year's
estimates over the expenses, was also to provide for
the excess of the expenses of the great public works
over the part of the loan already issued, and for the
expenses of the railroads described by the bill of
June 11, 1842. The year 1842 had not imposed any
charge in this respect, the expense of the public works
having amounted to only 74,705,111 f., • leaving a ba-
lance of 294,889 f., from the 75 millions allowed out
of the 150 millions that had been realised of the
loan. As the credit of 75 millions had been increased
by a special law by the sum of 14,800,000 f., the
portion of the unemployed credit which is to be added
to the estimates for the year 1843 amounted in the
whole to 15,094,889 f. The sum paid for railroads
had been only 1,364,508 f., leaving to be disposed of
in 1843 14,135,4921. The result of that year's esti-
mates could not yet be exactly ascertained, but he
should not be much wrong were he to value at 118
or 119 millions the expenses of public works to be
paid out of the loan—expenses which, put down in
the budget for 75 millions, were increased by the
sums brought forward from 1842 by credits granted
by special laws. The expenses of railroads were, he
supposed, about 39,500,000 f. Subtraction being then
made of the 75,294,889 f. imputable to the first third
of the loan, there remained about 80 millions to be
paid by the floating debt, and recoverable : one-
half from the other portion of the loan not yet ne-
gotiated, and the other half from the reserves of the
sinking fund, which were to be disposable after the
payment of the deficiencies of the ordinary budgets.
Not only was it easy to provide for all those de-
mands with the customary resources of the floating
debt ; but when last year they dropped a hint of a
slight rise in the interest of Treasury Bonds, as a
means of remaining masters of the moment in the
negotiation of the loan, they had been obliged
speedily to lower the rate of that interest, to prevent
the assets from rising to an exaggerated rate, to the
detriment both of the circulation and of the Treasury.
They had also reduced the advances of the Receivers-
general, as much as the prudence which ought
always to be observed in sucliPmatters would permit.
Those measures had produced the effect which was
expected, and, nevertheless the assets of the Treasury
had remained more than sufficient to ward against
all eventualities to such circumstances. It had
appeared to the Government opportune—and they
hoped.that the Chamber would now approve of their
decision—not to make use, during the year that had
just finished, of the faculty which the law accorded
them, of issuing the whole or part of the other two-
thirds of the loan. They had juds-ed it preferable to
allow the first to class itself definitively and public
credit to gain strength. They could do so without
danger, since the situation of the country allowed
them to announce, as they had done last year, that
whilst they reserved to themselves the right of profit-
ing by circumstances, they held themselves fully at
liberty to wait for a favourable moment for negotia-
ting the remainder of the loan. lie now came to the
budget of 1845, of the different dispositions of which
he would give a summary, and would begin with the
ordinary servics. An augmentation of 2,749,532 f.,
applicable to the Three per Cents., was caused by the
consolidation of the bonds of the sinking fund. As
they were unable to fix beforehand the period for the
issue of a new series of the loan, and the nature of
the funds in which it would be issued, it has been
decided on .to provide for the service from the
resources of the floating debt, and an increase
of 1,500,0001. on the interest of that debt was
proposed. In consideration of the advantages secured
by the law of 28th April to all the holders of
transferable offices, it is proposed to fix at 3 per cent.
the interest of the caution money of that class of of-
fices. This will produce a saving of 800,000 f. The
calculation of probable extinctions showed a dhnintf-
tion of 1,440,0001. in the payment of life annuities.
A saving of 286,050 f. had been effected in the allow-
ances to members of the Legions of Honour: A. saving
of 22,500 f. had been effected in the budget of the de-
partment
of justice. That of public worship showed I
an increase of 136,400 f., caused principally by the
creation of fresh chapels of ease, and the salaries to '
Protestant clergymen. The budget of foreign affairs
presented an increase of 144,100 f., of which 30,000 f.
was devoted to bring up to 200,0001. the credit for
extraordinary missions. The credits demanded by
the Minister of Public Instruction exceeded those of
1844 by 205,4001., 91,000 f. of which were provided
for in the budget of receipts ; the surplus was in-
tended for the creation of two inspectors-general,
the establishment of new professorships, the crea-
tion of two new royal colleges, and the increase of
the rent of the building occupied by the Royal Aca-
demy of Medicine. The department of the Interior
gave a decrease of 300,000 f. on the allowance of
foreign refugees, but an addition of 50,000 f. for the
