DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
CASTLE HEDINGFIAM, OCT. lo.—At ten o'clock
last night the premises of Mr. John Chickall were
discovered to be on fire, and before the progress of the
flames could be arrested the dwelling house, a barn
containing the produce of seven acres of barley and
three acres of peas,
a wheat stack, two barley stacks,
two hay stacks, and an oat stack, were reduced to
ruins. The greater part of the household furniture,
and most of the farming implemental were also
included in the lamentable work of destruction,
which we regret to learn there is little doubt was
wilfully occasioned. The Foxearth subscription,
Sudbury, and Melford engurintendent Hoy, with
peines were promptly con-
veyed to the spot,S
and
several constables, was in attendance, three of the
West Suffolk police from Melford being also present,
but notwithstanding all the exertions made to save
the property, one barn full of wheat
was all that
could be rescued. The Rev. James Sperling, of
Monk's Lodge,
Maplestead, to whom the farm be-
longs, we are glad to learn, is insured, and Mr.
Chickall's stock and crop, are similarly protected.
Mr. Chickall and his daughter, the only inmates of
the house, it appears had retired to rest about an hour
and a half when the alarm was given.
A stack of wheat straw, the produce of five acres,
standing in a field in the parish, and near the town of
Kelvedon, belonging
to Mr. William Abbott, farmer,
was fired about 4 P M. on Friday last, and the whole
was consumed. Two boys, named Howard and New-
man, each about 13 years of age, who were at work
in a fold near the stack, gave the alarm at a cottage a
few minutes only after the light could have been ap-

plied, and Newman had been in the morning chas-
tised by his m IF-ter for burning some haulm in the
fivld, which he h I lighted with lucifers he had about
him. The two boys were taken into custody the
same evening. by police-constable Martin, and con
veyed to the station. They have since been examined
and remanded.—Essex Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO U S
Richard Edwards and James Meek were brought
before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having
endeavoured to excite a revolt on board her Majesty's
cutter Gossamer, on the Dutch coast. The prisoners
had been brought home in irons.
Mr. Swainson, from the office of the Solicitor to
the Admiralty, attended for the prosecution. Mr.
Wontner appeared for the prisoners.
The following is the essential part of the evidence,
which was detailed at considerable length :
W. D. Hill, second master in her Majesty's navy,
and commander of her Majesty's cutter Gossamer,
said—The prisoners were able seamen on board the
Gossamer, which was at the time I speak of surveying
on the coast of the Netherlands. I believe them to
be under martial law. I hired them both in her
Majesty's service. On the 16th of September, about
eight in the morning, the vessel was lying in the port
of Nieudiep, in the Netherland?. Edwards advised
the crew to come aft to me on the quarter-deck. I
went on deck and found the crew there. One of the
crew, named Widyer, said he thought himself
not properly treated, upon which the prisoner
Ed wards turned round and demanded his discharge
of me. I remonstrated with him and the rest of
the crew, and explained to them the folly of
such conduct, mentioning at the same time that the
ship had been robbed of two muskets, which formed
part of her ammunition. They said they were sorry
for it, or something to that effect; and I said, perhaps
when we overhaul the vessel we shall find the
fourth jib gone. Upon hearing which the prisoner
Meek became so violent that some of the other men
were obliged to hold him back. Speaking of me and
pointing at me, he said, let me at —. Edwards,
pointing at Meek said, " I know what that man is if
he gets from the men," meaning, as I believed, that
he had no command of himself. To avoid the vio-
lence with which I considered myself to be threat-
ened, I took refuge in the cabin. I was compelled to
leave the quarter-deck for my personal safety. While
in the cabin, or adjoining it, I heard Edwards re-
mark that he would be d—d if he would go to sea in
the ship, or if he did he would not work, neither
would he let me, and he said at the same time, if I
took him to sea he would throw me overboard as I
was heaving the log. The position in which I
should be in throwing the log would be with my
back to the crew, so that I could be thrown over the
gunwale. I then went on deck and desired them
to go to their duty. The prisoners remained amongst
the men as I had no means of shutting them
up. All returned to their duty except Edwards.
Meek returned to his duty, but observing that he was
not sober I recommended him to go to bed. I next
directed the men to go to breakfast. After breakfast
I allotted each man his work, when Edwards, coiling
up and seeing Widyer at work, put himself in a box-
ing attitude, and tried to excite him to go ashore and
fight. I ordered Widyer to go below to avoid any
injury, and Edwards then demanded his discharge,
swearing that he did not care a for me or all the
consuls on shore. I replied, " You are in a foreign
port, and I cannot discharge you without sufficient
funds to pay your passage home, besides which your
cervices are required here to take the vessel back to
Englend." He went below, and said he would be
if he would go in the vessel, because he knew
that when we got to Grimsby I should imprison hint.
Finding that he could not get his discharge, he called
Meek, and said he would not go without his old
chummie (Meek), and then both of them went down,
packed up their things, and brought them on deck,
demanding of me their register tickets. I told them
again I would not discharge them, and Edwards said
he was discharged by me ; and when told by Mr.
Jones, the master's assistant, that I bad done nothing
of the kind, he said the assistant was a-- liar. At
that moment Meek attacked another of the crew,
named John Webb, whom I was obliged to send,
bleeding at the ear, out of the ship, to avoid further
violence. After this transaction, the remainder of the
crew told me they did not think it safe to go with the
vessel if those men remained, and I obtained the as-
sistance of some Dutch soldiers, and had the pri-
soners conveyed to the guard ship, which lay near the
Gossamer.
Mr. Swainson did not think it necessary to go par-
ticularly into evidence regarding the temporary dis-
appearance of two muskets which belonged to the
Gossamer, as there appeared to be no ground for sup-
posing that they had been taken away with a felonious
intent.
W. Widyer, an able seaman on board the Gossa.
mer, said that Meek was drunk on the occasion of the
disturbance, and wished to leave the vessel because
he considered himself accused of having stolen the
muskets; and as for Edwards, wbo was not at all so
drunk, he had given no reason at all for his conduct.
They both said, if the commander did not give them
their discharge, they would heave the log with him.
Alderman GIBBS—What did they mean by that
Witness—That I can't say.
Alderman GIBBS—What do you understand by
that ? Did they mean anything good to the com-
mander by it ? Witness—No, not at all.
Alderman GlBB3—What were the words they used
to the best of your recollection ? Witness—They
said they would heave the log with him before they
got to England.
Alderman Gums—And what do you suppose they
meant by those words ? Witness—Why, they meant
that they would heave the commander overboard
along with the log.—(A laugh) Something of that
kind I suppose they meant. Edwards tried to prevail
upon Webb to pack up and leave the vessel, anti was
generally a quarrelsome man, but Meek was a very
different sort of person, and had been well conducted
until Monday, the 16th of September.
Mr. Swainson—Did you hear either or both of
them threaten the commander ? Witness—No. I
heard them swear at him hut not threaten him. They
were both under the influence of liquor at the time.
Certainly Meek did not know what he was about.
They wanted to get in a stock of provisions. Ido
not think there was any fear that they wanted to run
away with the ship or the commander ; and I do be-
lieve that if they had not been tipsy they would not
have acted as they did.
Robinson, another of the seamen on board the
Gossamer, said he recollected a bit of a dust on board
on the day specified, when Meek was not sober, and
Edwards was well sprung and rather rusty. Ed-
wards threatened to heave the log with the com-
mander, that is, to heave him overboard. Edwards
swore a little.
Alderman Ginns—What do you believe was the
cause ? Witness—Drink.
Mr. Wontner—Does not the commander swear
sometimes ? Witness—Why, no, I can't say he
swears much.
Mr. Wontner—Well, does he not swear a little
sometimes? Witness—Well, he may swear a little.
—(Laughter.) I never heard him.
Mr. Swainson said he must admit that the evidence
did not go to the extent of proving the existence of
that sort of conspiracy which was necessary to estab-
lish the charge of exciting to revolt ; but he submitted
that quite enough had been shown to satisfy the
bench that dangerous insubordination had existed.
Mr. Wontner said the prisoners never had enter-
tained the most remote idea of exciting to revolt.
They were, in fact, two Yarmouth fishermen, who
had been hired for duty in a Queen's ship, with the
strict regulations of which they were not acquainted.
'They wanted to go ashore to get fresh provisions, to
which they had been always accustomed ; their pru-
dence left them, and they were met by the intern.
perete authority of the commander, who was not dis-
posed to make any allowance for their former habits
or condition.
Alderman GIBBS said he would look over the de-
positions, and give his decision upon the case on
Friday.

SOUTHWARK.
EXCESS or VIOLENCE BY POLICEMEN.—Mr. Su-
perintendent Haynes, M division, attended for the
purpose of acquainting Mr. A'Beckett of the result
of inquiries instituted before the Commissioners of
Police, and their decisions thereupon respecting the
alleged violence'exercised by two policemen of the M
division, whose conduct in the first instance was
brought under his (Ni. A'Beckett's) notice.
The Superintendent said the first case related to a
policeman named Wakefield, of the M division, who
in taking a man into custody for an alleged breach of
the peace, struck him a violent blow on the front part
of his head with his truncheon. In the course of the
inquiry into the circumstances in the first instance at
this court, they magistrate foiled it necessary to mark
his disapprobation of the policeman's conduct on the
police-sheet, and this led to a further investigation
before the Commissioners, the result of which was that
they suspended him from duty for a week, mulcting
him of his pay for that period. The other case
referred to another policeman, named Gingell, who
took a man into custody for assaulting him, but when
the circumstances were inquired into it turned out
that the policeman committed the first assault himself;
by knocking the man down on the pavement. Tne
Commissioners had also suspended this man from duty,
and he (the superintendent.) had directions to muster
the force under his command, and to apprise them of
the decisions in the above eases, and to caution
them that from henceforth if any policeman used un-
necess iry violence in the execution of hi 3 duty, or
produced his truncheon without there was absolute
need of it, tho Commissioners were determined on dis-
missing them altogether from the service.
Mr. A'BECKETT said that he recollected both the
cases referred to; that he was al ways desirous of pro-
tecting the police in the execution of their arduous

duties, but when they used unnecessary violence in
the discharge of it, as eppearad in this instance, it
was nqtrisite for the public safety that the parties
should meet with such punishment as they deserved ;
and he was gild that he had called the Commissioners'
attention, by the remarks he considered it necessary
to make on the police-sheet when the cases were first
brought under his notice.
THAMES.

TEE CASE OF ROSINA lIEEBERT.—A lady, one of
several others, came forward yesterday to leave 11. for
the sempstress Rosina Herbert.
Mr. YARDLEY—I do not know whether you have
seen to-day's papers, and perhaps you are not aware
that we have received a good deal too much on her
account already. The consequences of bestowing
donations so liberally on persons who have committed
offences may be very serious. If you take my advice,
you will bestow it upon some other object.
Lady—ln that case, as I have another application,
I will bestow it there.

In two or three other instances where money was
proffered, Mr. Yardley having made similar observa-
tions, the amount was ordered to be put to the general
poor fund.
An acknowledgment of the following donations has
been requested :—J. 8., 108. ; A. Y., 103.; H., 103.;
C. M., Ryde, .53. ; 1/. from " A Friend," who says,
" I agree with you (Mr. Ingham) that there can be
no pity for the pawnbrokers, and no consi3leration for
them induces me to trouble you with this;" E. P. M.,

LIVERPOOL PLATE ROBBERIES.

THIRD INVESTIGATION.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—According to the adjourn-
ment made on this day week, another investigation of
these charges took place tc-day. From the various
statements and disclosures which have been made
during the past week, the public anxiety to be pre-
sent at this investigation was very great, anti long
before the hour appointed for opening the court there
was a large number of persons present; and it was
with the utmost difficulty that the legal gentlemen,
or the reporters, of whom there was a pretty strong
muster, could obtain seats.

At five minutes to eleven o'clock a cab drove up,
containing the prisoners Sirrell, M'Auley, and
M'Guire. They were immediately put into the dock
in charge of an officer of the county police, and one of
the turnkeys of Kirkdale. They did not appear the
least altered. Sirrell had a small carpet-bag, which
he carried into the dock with him. Both M'Auley
and M'Guire wore travelling caps,
Soon after eleven o'clock the magistrates began to
take their seats on the bench. There were present
J. A. Harden, Esq., chairman ; J. B. Yeats, David
Hodgson' J. B. Moore, J. T. Bourne, IC. Theak-
stone, J. B. Barclay, J. A. Tinne, and J. Posson,
Esqrs.
The prisoners were defended by the same legal
gentlemen as appeared for them on the last examina-
tion—namely, Mr. Lewis, solicitor, London, for Mr.
Sirrell ; and Mr. Simon, barrister, for M'Auley and
M'Guire. Mr. Dowling prosecuted.
The proceedings to-day were commenced by read-
ing over the depositions taken before the magistrates
on this day week.

John Lund sworn—ls an inspector of the detective
police in London. Remembers the 2d of October.
Went on that day to the corner of Barbican, Long-
lane, No. 54, occupied by the prisoner Sirrell. I
there saw a person whom I knew to be in the em-
ploy of the London and North-Western Railway enter
the shop of 54, with two parcels under his arm and a
book in his hand. Followed in immediately behind
him. Sirrell was standing near the counter when we
entered. The porter placed the two parcels in Mr.
Sirrell's hands. Mr. Sirrell, on looking at them,
handed them over to a person whom he called • John,
behind the counter, at the same time telling him to
pay two shillings on one of the parcels—the smaller
and the lightest one of the two. The delivery book
was then handed by the porter for Mr. Sirrell to
sign. kir. Sirrell then handed it over to John to sign
for the delivery. He did so, and handed over the
book, with two shillings, to the porter. The porter then
left the shop, and John then placed the two parcels at
the side of the desk on the counter. At that moment
the officer, Kehoe, from Liverpool, with Sergeants
Witcher and Shaw, of the London detectives, entered
the shop. I immediately bent over the counter and
took possession of the two parcels, and pointed out to
Kehoe where Mr. Sirrell had gone to, which I after-
wards found to be the counting-house. Followed
after them with the two parcels, and said to Sirrell,
" You must be present when I oped these." Was
then in the counting-house. Sirrell said, "No, no,
one of my young men will do. I will have nothing
to do with it." At that time we had walked from
the counting-house to the other shop, which I be-
lieve is in a line with the counting-house. It is not
the shop by which we entered. Placed the two
parcels on the counter and commenced undoing them,
when Sirrell immediately left and walked back to the
counting-house. I then called out and said I must
insist upon his being present when these parcels were
being opened. The officer Kehoe then went and
brought him back to the counter. I then opened the
parcels. Sirrell, Kehoe, and Sergeant Shaw, of the
London detective police, were present, and there might
have been one of the shopmen present. Gave the
parcels over to the officer Kehoe. Saw the parcels.
They were plate. One parcel was in a tin canister,
wrapped in paper. After I had opened the parcels I
said to Sirrell, " Have you any letter from Liverpool
this morning ?"
Mr. Simon here said that he objected to such evi-
dence as regards M'Auley.
The COURT—It is no evidence against M'Auley of
course.

Witness—Mr. Sirrell stepped back three or four
paces, made no reply, but brought a letter which wit-
ness afterwards handed over to Kehoe. The letter
was handed to witness, which he identified. Asked
Sirrell if he knew the person who wrote the letter.
tie replied that he thought not ; but that he had had
20 transactions with him. Witness then conveyed
him to the King-street Police-station, Westminster.
The letter was open when he saw it.
Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Was not five miles
from John. Sirr6ll handed the parcels to John.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Kehoe had not the
opportunity of hearing all that he did. Kehoe could
not see what took place in the shop before he entered.
Cannot say what Kehoe said when he went into the
counting-house. Did not follow in immediately.
Was not clone enough to hear what passed. The letter
was handed to witness without hesitation. The par-
cel was opened by witness. Before the parcel was
opened, cant say whether I told him under what cir-
cumstances I took possession. He said he would call
the police in. The place of business is extensive,
and contains a large amount of property. Witcher
had not the same opportunity of seeing what passed as
witnesa had.

Llewellyn Roberts—Resides in Everton, near Li-
verpool. Is a mercantile clerk. Has known the pri-
soner M'Auley for 20 years or more. Has seen him
write frequently, but not for 12 years. Identifies the
writing as that of M'Auley.
Cross-examined by Mr. Simon—Has a good me-
mory.
Cross examined by Mr. Lewis—Has seen jewellery
in his shop in Basnett-itreet, but knows nothing of
his dealing in plate.
C. Kehoe malted (sworn)—Has some letters in
hii possession which he got in Sirrell's counting-
house, which he took off a file while Sirrell was
present.

Cross-examined—Cannot say whether they were in
the same state as they now appear.
To Mr. Dowling—Removed the letters before he
left the counting-house, and in presence of the
prisoner.

Mr. Roberts recalled, with the view of proving the
handwriting contained in the number of letters now
produced.

Mr. Simon objected to their admission as affect-
ing the case of his client M'Auley, as their contents
had no reference to the charge now under investi-
gation.
The Chairman could no say 50 until he had exa-
mined the letters.
Mr. Lewis was most anxious to lay before the
Court every item of evidence both for and against
his client. _

The whole of the letters were read by the clerk of
the magistrateF. One of them contained the follow-
ing in reference to Californian gold, of which the
following is a copy :
" Ne. 4, Hope, S. Jude's, Liverpool, Aug. 21.

" Mr: Sit44l,
" Sir,—l have forwarded some silver, about 38 cz ,
also some uncertain gold, which you will please to
remit for as usual. 1 now wish to draw your atten-
tion to the enclosed 2oz. of Californian gold. It is a
part of a large quantity which a friend of mine has
brought with him to this port. He wishes me to have
it assayed and the value ascertained ; please do so.
Remit the value and a separate invoice. I imagine
the party is trying for the best market, and please say
if quantity 6- en object to you.—Yours respectfully,
" Wm. M'AULEY.

" The bank post bill came safe to hand."

Mr. George :Slee—ls a cleik in the money-erdtr
offics in Liverpool. Produces a number of money-
orders, six in all. They are orders sent from London
to Liverpool, and paid by witness at different date s.
11,?,collees seeing the prisoner M'Auley. Cannot say
where. His face is familiar to witness.

The witness Roberts recalled—He said he believed
the signature to the pint-office orders wire in the
handwriting of M'Aul,y.
Mr. Slee's examination WO resumed—He marks the
ordA-s as paid. The dates of the orders are three of
e Bth of August, one of the 224 of August, and two
of the 13th of Si,pternber.
oss•exmined by Mr. Lewis---Ths no post-office
order for 4/. 7s. Bd. on the 30th of August ; nor any
order for 2/. 133. 11d. on the 224 of August; nor any
for Cl. 03. 9d. on the 18th of July.
Mr. Dowling—This closed his case, and he now
asked for a committal.

Mr. Dowling then proceeded with another charge
against the prisoner Sirrell, for receiving stolen goods,
a table spoon, knowing it to be stolen.

Mr. Dowling stated the case, from which it appeared
that a robbery took place at the residence of the Rev.
Mr. Gardner Stanley on the 27th of July, from which
a quantity of plate was stolen, and out of which was a
certain silver spoon, which was found in Mr. Sirrell's
possEssion.

Mr. Lewis objected to the case going on, unless
Mr. Dowling would first state upon what grounds he
intended to connect Mr. Sirrell with the robbery, and
hiving a guilty knowledge thereof.
Tho Court briefly consulted, and ordered Mr.
DJ‘,.. ling toproet ed.

tvilli;m It. Karr—ls servant to the Rev. Mr.
Gardner, who resides at Stanley Parsonage. Remem-
bers the 17th of July last. At a quarter-past one in
the afternoon placed some plate on the dining-room
table. The bottom part of the window was shut and
the top part open. Was not more than two minutes
out of the room, but did not miss till half past one
two table and one gravy spoon. The bottom part of
the window was (pm, when, missing the spoons,
told his master. Has not seen the spoons since that
time.

The Rev. Thomas Gardner sworn—Resides at
Stanley, West Derby, in this county. Remembers
the 17th of July last. Did not see the plate that day
until he sat down to dinner. ILis seen part of it in
the hands of officer Kehoe, a gravy spoon. It is
broken in two, and marked S. H., with an initial.
Spoon produced and identified by the witnesses.
To Mr. Lewis—ls not acquainted with foreign
silver. Cannot see the British lion on the spoon pro-
duced.

Offica. Kehoe found the spoon produced in the
prisoner's shop at Barbican on the 2d of October.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Does not know
foreign silver from British. Cannot tell how many
spoons were there; there might be 300 with crests
and marks obliterated.

Mr. Simon addressed the Court on behalf of
M'Auley, and Mr. Lewis o❑ behalf of the prisoner
Slrrell.

Tile Bench at once intimated that it was of opinion
that there was sufficient evidence to send the case
for trial elsewhere.

Mr. Lewis applied that his client should be ad-
mitted to bail, as did Mr. Simon, on the part of
M'Auley, but the bench declined doing so.
Mr. Shuon applied to the Court to have a watch and
some other articles, taken from his client, M'Auley,
by the police. The application was refused.
M'Auley was then committed, and Sirrell re-
manded to Friday next.

Aker the county magistrates retired, Mr. IL H.
Harvey took his seat on the bench, for the purpose
of hearing and determining upon the case against
M'Guire and Sirrell, but on the application of Mr.
Dowling, the case was remanded to Thursday fore-
noon, notwithstanding that Mr. Lewis pressed hard
for a formal commital, so that he might apply for bail
before the judge in chambers.

HULL, OCT. 15.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states: The
trade has shown more firmness during the week, and
dulness in Mark-lane yesterday was quite unexpected.
To•day's. market was only moderately attended by
farmers, as seed operations now engage their attention
good deal. The best samples of new wheat fetched fully
the prices of last week, and in some instances a trifle
more money was paid; a little better feeling for foreign
wheat, but without leading to much business. All
descriptions of barley are dull, and the turn lower. Oats
difficult of sale. Very little doing in either beans or
peas. The linseed market firm, but cakes are somewhat
easier. rape cakes fetch full rates.
