time, they proceeded to arrange for a common one.
After the case obtained publicity through the public
press, several communications were made to the clerks of
the Court and the police-officers, stating that Mrs. Be-
laney's mo:her, who lived at the time of • her death with
the prisoner and her daughter, had also died suddenly,
and was buried with an almost indecent haste under
circumstances peculiarly suspicious. In consequence of
these circumstances, it was deemed advisable to send an
active and intelligent officer down to the north to insti-
tute inquiries, and Inspector Haynes, of the detective
force, was dispatched on that mission. Amongst other
documents which the Inspector produced, was one dated
the Bth, the day of Mrs. Belaney's death, in which the
prisoner, writing to a gentleman, stated that his wife re-
mained dangerously ill, symptons of premature labour
having come on a few days previously. It was further
proved, at the inquiries before the magistrate and the
Coroner, that the prisoner had not resorted to any of the
usual means which any medic ,1 man of the slightest
knowledge would have adopted to counteract the effects
of the poison, and which according to the evidence of
Dr. Letheby, would, whilst a spark of life remained, or
even for some time after every semblance of death had
been assumed, have proved effective in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred.

The following dispatch, addressed by the 10firl of
Aberdeen to Count Si. Aulaire, will explain the circum-
stances under which the late court-martial was ordered
by her Majesty's Government :

" THE EARL OF ABERDEEN TO COUNT ST. AULAIRE.

Long before the prisoner was placed in the dock the
Court was crowded, and among those present were se-
veral well-dressed women.

Foreign Office, June 23, 1843..

" The undersigned, &c., has had the honour to. receive the
note addressed to him on the 2d instant by his Excellency
Count St. Aulaire, respecting the proceedings of her
Majesty's ships Bonetta and Spy, towards the French mer-
chant vessel the Luiz de Albuquerque, Capt. Bellet.
" In that note his Excellency, referring to the statements
contained in the inclosures to his Excellency's communica-
tion, informs the undersigned that be is directed by his Go-
vernment to require—first, that her Majesty's Government
will disavow the conduct of her Majesty's officers in
searching the Luiz de Alhuquerque without warrants; and
secondly, that they will institute an inquiry into the Irre-
gular proceedings with which her Majesty's officers and men
are charged, in order to ensure their punishment, if punish-
ment should be due, and to prevent a recurrence of the irre-
gularity complained of.
" With respect to the first point, the undersigned at once
assures Count St. Aulaire that her Majesty's Government
have no intention to uphold or defend the conduct of any
officer in her Majesty's service who shall search .a French
vessel without a warrant from the French Government au-

At one o'clock Belaney was placed at the bar, looking
much better than on any previous occasion.
Mr. Reynolds, one of the, oint solicitors to the Trea-
sury, was present on the part of the Crown, and Mr.
Humphreys app-ared for the prisoner.
Mr. Humphreys requested a short delay on the part
of the Court, as he momentarily expected Ifr. Clarkson,
who had an pplication to make on the part of the pri-
soner. _ _ _

Mr Reynold.: did not see the nece:sity of further delay,
as he considered there was already sufficient evidence
for the prisoner's committal to Newgate.
Mr. Broderip—Am I to understand, then, that you
propose to call no further evidence, and now apply for
the prisoner's committal ?
Mr. Clarkson, who just then entered, had some pri-
vate conversation with the Bench,which was joined in by
Mr. Reynold:, and Mr. Symonds, the chief clerk. The
Learned Gentleman then, speaking aloud, said, I have
no objection that the public should- know the nature of
my application. I think, when the Crown has con-
sented, there can be no obiectioa to the course, and I
never knew such an application to be refused. What I
ask on the part of the prisoner is, that he be recommitted
to Clerkenwell gaol until the day before his trial, which,
from what has already taken place, all his friends must
have anticipated he has to undergo. Ido not expect for
my client more than would be granted to any other per-
son ; hut I never knew such an application to be refused.
Mr. Broderip (addressing Mr. Reynolds) asked if the
Crown consented to the application ? Mr. Reynolds said,
if the course was not unusual, the Crown would have no
objection, but he would leave it to his Worship, who must
be best acquainted with the practice.
Mr. Broderip (again addressing Mr. Reynolds) said,
is it your wish that the prisoner be sent back to Clerken-
well ; or, having no further evidence, do you pray he
should be committed to Newgate ?
Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner has many friends coming
from the country who are anxious to see him, and with
whom, at this critical juncture, it is important he should
confer. Clerkenwell affords greater facilities for this
purpose than Newgate prison, where the regulations are
more restrictive.
Mr. Broderip (again addressing Mr. Reynolds)—lt
has been put to me whether it is the wish of the Crown
that the prisoner be allowed to say where he has greater
facility of seeing his friends, or that he should be finally
committed to Newgate.
Mr. Reynolds—l see nothing in the case which should
induce a relaxation of the usual rules. The Crown would
not oppose the application, if it were according to the
usual practice ; but there is nothing in the present case
to take it out o customary course.
Mr. Broderip--The u:ual course, when a case has been
closed, and the magistrate has made up his mind to com-
mit, is to send the prisoner to Newgate.
Mr. Clarkson—There are private papers in the hands
of the officer which belong to the prisoner. If they re-
late to the case let him state so ; if not, they ought to
be given up. This is an application with which I hope
no one will interfere.
Mr. Broderip—l do not know that I have the power
to make an order ; but the general rule is, that all pro-
perty found on a prisoner, and not relating to the case,
should be restored to him.
Inspector Haynes—l have no papers.
Mr. Clarkson —I have said, on a former occasion, that
I was glad the case of my client was in the hands of In-
spector Haynes, as from him I shall expect nothing but
strict justice.
It having been ascertained that the papers alluded to
were in the hands of the Treasury, Mr. Reynolds pro-
mised they should be given up.
Mr. Broderip, then addressing the prisoner, who wit-
nessed the proceedings with the same grave composure
which he evinced all through, said, that it had been
prayed that he should be committed to Newgate in pre-
ference to another prison, and it was now his duty to
commit him for the wilful murder of Rachel Belaney.
The prisoner was then removed.
The mere formal proceedings of Wednesday have nearly
renewed all the interest which originally attached to the
case ; and the excitement created in the neighbourhood
was almost equal to that which was felt whilst the inquest
h_ I was being held.

thorising that step , inasmuch as her. Majesty's Govern-
ment consider such a proceeding is not only not sanctioned
by the treaties which exist between the two countries, but
that it is in direct contravention of their spirit. •
" With respect to the second request contained in the note
of Count St Aulaire, the undersigned begs to inform his Ex-
cellency that orders have been given to institute, without
delay, a strict investigation into the conduct of the persons
charged with committing irregularities on board the Luiz de
Albuquerque ; and that if misconduct should be proved on
the part of any person in • her Majesty's service, it will be
visited with proper punishment ; and that measures will be
taken to prevent its recurrence.
" The undersigned, &c.,
(Signed) " ABERDEEN.
" His Excellency Count St. Aulaire, &c., &c."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR
GRAVESEND.

On Wednesday afternoon, shortly after one o'clock, the
town of Gravesend was again alarmed by the outbreak
of a terrific fire at Lower Shorne, near Chalk, a few
miles distant, which, we regret to add, terminated in the
all but complete destruction of that secluded village.
The news of the fire was brought to Gravesend by a
man on horseback, and on his arrival at the Town-hall,
where the engines are kept, the police, under the direc-
tion of Mr. North, the superintendent, lost not' a moment
in getting them out and attaching four post-horses to
each. Before, however, they had left the town the ap-
pearance of the atmosphere in the direction of Lower
Shorne too truly confirmed the information brought by
the messenger, for though the day was bril:iant in the ex-
treme, the fire was of so intense and fearful a character as
to be seen from eveyy part of the surrounding country,
whilst the huge masses of smoke that arose from the
flaming property completely darkened the horizon. On the
engines gaining the village, Lower Shorne, comprising
three extensive homesteads and a row of houses, was
found to be enveloped in flames. Oa inquiries being
made of the inhabitants, it appeared that the fire origi-
nated in' the house of a labouring family named White.
This with six others formed a row on the left-hand aide
of the lower road, and immediately behind them stood a
farm, the whole being the property of Mr. Thomas So-
lomons. It was caused by a foul chimney taking fire,
and the sparks falling upcn the thatched roof instantly
set it in a blaze. Most of the occupants at the time
were engaged in harvesting, but they hastened to the
spot and endeavoured to check the fire. A vast number
of persons came to their assistance, and every effort was
resorted to in order to prevent the flames extending.
Unhappily at the time the wind was blowing a strong
gale from the south-west, which wuf; ed the fire to the
other houses, and ere half an hour had elapsed, the whole
row, was burning from top to bottom. Previously,
however, whilst all were trying to preserve what pro-
perty they could, a sad accident occurred by the
falling in of part of the roof of two houses. Three
poor fellows were extricated sadly burnt, and it was
much feared that one or more had fallen a sacrifice,
but the state of the ruins prevented all search
being made. It being apparent that none. of the
houses could be saved, attempts were made to save the
farm immediately at the tear. The south wing was
partly in flames, the fire ye as mining along the roof,
aid the inhabitants held got on to it and were about to
eat off the communication, when they were astouruled
by perceiving a body of smoke arising from another of
Solomon's homesteads, called the Queen's Farm, si-
tuate about 200 yards 'further down the lane on the op-
' po!;ite side. These premiss were of greater extent, the
term composing a square of at least an acre, and the
buildings consi,ting of two spacious hal-le,, grasiar'ei,
stables, lofts, sheds, cart-houses, and rick-yards, and the
farm-house adjoining. The alarm natdrally increased,
and on those assembled rushing to the spot, it was a,-
certaine,l that the burning einb,,rs scattered from the
former fire had reached the homestead. The greater
part of the two barns was soon in a blaze, and, how-
ever incredible it may appear, so terrific was the work
of devastation, that scarce'y was there sufficient time
to see whether the cattle were all out from the stables,
