Mr. Martin out of The Slayer's Daughter, and Lady-I-

the challenger of the world), played at Newmarket on
Thursday evening, for several hours, before the mem-
bers of the Jockey Club, on the table at the Club-house.
He gave Mr. Stubbs 55 points in 100, and ran clean
away from the Squire at 65. From the spot stroke he
made 48 points, and displayed equal excellence in every
branch of the game.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER OF AN INSPECTOR AT
TILE GENERAL POST•OFFICE.—Upon making inquiries last
evening at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
the reporter ascertained, that notwithstanding the most dili-
gent search bad been made by the police and letter carriers
throughout the metropolis and suburban districts, not the
least tidings of Mr. Joseph Harris, the inspector at the Ge-
neral Yost-office (an account of whose mysterious disappear-
, ancoand suspected murder appeared in this journal of yester-
day), mild be gleaned.

We were not, however, deterred from giving the
project all the support and encourarment in our
power. The experiments then made were no doubt
on a very small scale, but we could see nothing
to prevent the same proportionate results from ex-
periments on a largtr scale. The failure of the Dart-
moor Peat Company, which was put forward as an
argument against Mr. OWEN'S scheme, we demon-
strated to have arisen entirely from mismanagement

and misconception.
The most eminent chemists tested the comparative
value of the peat of the three kingdoms, and unani-
mously decided that Irish peat yielded these valuable
products in greater quantity than the others, and
had the Dartmoor Company acted on the knowledge
of this fact, and proportioned their lavish and ex-
travagant expenditure on machinery to the mere re-
quirements and extent of their operations, they would
have succeeded, as:Mr. OITEN has done, in realising
more than one hundred per cent. on their capital.
The satisfactory and conclusive results of the ex-
periments of Mr. OWEN'S project, which we have now
the pleasure to lay before the public, have been
carried oh in Ireland under the superintendence of
Dr. HODGES, Professor of Agriculture in Queen's
College, Belfast, and in London on the premises of
Messrs. COFFEY and Sons, engineers, who have certi-
fied the correctness of the following estimate :

WORSHIP-STREET.

Richard Lee, William Gardner, and William
Watts, were charged with burglariously breaking into
the house of Mr. William Loudon, a tea-dealer in
Wells-street, Hackney.
Both Watts and Gardner protested their innocence,
declaring that, although they were certainly ac-
quainted with Lee, they knew nothing whatever of
any felonious transaction he might have been engaged
in ; and the last-named prisoner having expressed his
determination to reserve his defence,

Mr. ARNOLD said that the evidence against Watts
and Gardner was wholly insufficient to sustain the
case against them, and he should therefore order them
to be discharged; but the first-named prisoner, Lee,
was formally committed until that day week, that
the depositions of the witnesses might be taken against
him.

Thus, upon an outlay of 11,7171., Mr. OWEN has
realised within little more than a year the enormous
sum of 11,9061., or more than 100 per cent. The
produce consisted of-
-365 too of sulphate of ammonia, at 121. per ton Z-4,380

19,000 gallons of naphtha, at ss. per gallon 4,750

It is a source of deep gratification to us to find the
hopeful anticipations in which we indulged so fully
and satisfactorily realised; and we congratulate Mr,
OWEN on the triumphant success of his benevolent
and spirited undertaking.
In the estimate of the profits no account has been
taken of the value of the land reclaimed, which
would, of course, be considerable; and in the extrac-
tion of the substance called paraflice, which is used in
the manufitcture of the best candles, a quantity of
inflammable gas is obtained equal in value, as fuel, to
20 tons of coal for every 100 tons of peat, and which
would admit of the production of peat charcoal as a
farther considerable source of gain. We believe,
however, there is at present a very respectable com-
'pany under the management of Mr. ItocEns, the
eminent engineer, in successful operation converting
Irish peat into charcoal, the extraordinary deodoriz-
ing effects of which Mr. ROGERS has frequently de.

Our obituary records the demise of Mt.
of the firm of Price and Co., army agents, of Craven. street,
Strand. The death of this gentleman was caused by a fall
from his horse. Mr. Price was well known in military
circles, and the event happening at so early a period of life
will be deeply deplored. Mr. Price was connected by mar-
riage with the family of General Sir Colin lialkatt, U.C,11,1
Governor of Chaim kloopttid.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

An application was made to Mr. Hardwick for a
search warrant to search the house of a person in
Marshall-street, who was suspected of having robbed
several masonic lodges of their insignia and jewels.
It was stated that five or six lodges had been recently
plundered, and that property in value not under 5001.
had been stolen in this way. A search warrant was
granted, and yesterday Charles King was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a
quantity of jewels and silver articles from the box of
the Prince of Wales Masonic Lodge, held at the
Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street.
Mr. Crosse, aclicitor, No. 16, Harley-street, said
the prisoner was tiler of the Prince of Wales Free-
masons' Lodge, held at the Thatched-house Tavern.
The duties of tiler were to act as a sort of doorkeeper
and to take charge of the box containing the property
of the lodges. From information he received he went
on Monday last to the Thatched-house Tavern, and
there he found the box belonging to the Prince of
Wales Lodge bad been broken open, and a silver level,
silver square, and other articles stolen.
Police•sergeant Bewlay, D 20, said be went yester-
day morning to No. 16, Marshall-street, where the
prisoner lived, and found him in bed. The prisoner
requested him not to make any noise. He said he
knew what witness bad come about. He owned he
had done wrong, but he was in difficulties at the time.
Witness asked the prisoner if he had the stolen jewel-
lery in the house. The prisoner said he had the tickets,
and he delivered up several duplicates. The prisoner's
wife gave witness some tippets and collars belonging
to the lodge.
The prisoner did not deny his guilt. He said he
did not break the box open. About a year ago he had
lost or mislaid the key, and then it was he caused the
box to be opened.
The prisoner was stated to have filled the office of
tiler in other lodges, which had also been robbed.
The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next.

monstrated by the most satisfactory and unquestion-
able tots. _ _

It is estimated that nearly one seventh of the entire
area of Ireland consists of Log land, thus opening a
wide field of industrial occupation for the people, and
an almost inexhaustible source of profitable invest-
ment for the capitalist. We have no doubt the rril-

lionnairet of England cciil Eeiz?, the golden opportu-
nity, and, while enriching themselves, confer blessings
upon the unemployed poor of Ireland, and the most
serious advantages on the empire.

Wo would fain draw the attention of our readers
to a report, copied from the Kent Herald, which ap-
pears in another column, of the Introductory Lec-
ture delivered at the opening of the Ashford
Mechanics' Institution by the Rev. JOHN DUTTON,
M.A., Rector of Warehorn. The purpose of the lec-
ture ‘1753, as stated by the Reverend Lecturer, to
explain the objects of such institutions, for the pur-
pose of meeting the scruples of those who had ex-
pressed doubts as to the real utility of such an insti-
tution at Ashford. It certainly does not say much
for either the wisdom or learning of the " rc.i.:pect-
ablei" of Ashford that a lecture for such a purpose
should have been at all necessary, and but for the t,,s-
tirnony of the Rev. JOHN DUFTON, we certainly
should have doubted the existcnce of such obscuran-

tists. The arguments of r.ll such have, however,
been met, and well met, by the Rev. Gentleman ; and
we trust he will publish his lecture in extenso, as a
text book for those who may have to combat the ob-
scurantists of other localities who would still deny
education to the people.

DARING BURGLARY AT EPSOM

BANK.
CAPTURE OF TWO BURGLARS.

Yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock the banking-
house of Messrs. Mangles, at Epsom, Surrey, was broken
into, and an immense quantity of silver, cheques, notes,
and gold, besides other property, was stolen therefrom.
Two men, since recognised as London thieves, were
stopped outside the town by a mounted patrol
of the V division, who suspected them from the
heavy burdens they were carrying, and drew his
cutlass, with which he threatened to cut them
down if they moved. The constable took them to
the Epsom station-house, when Sergeant Kennedy, the
acting inspector for that district, had them strictly
searched, and a large quantity of money, principally
silver, was taken from them, as well :is other valuable
booty; they were then locked up and the property se-
cured. The acting inspector communicated by express
with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent, who resides at
Wandsworth, and he immediately forwarded informa-
tion to the Police Commissioners.

Messrs. HALUDiNG and Co., 81, Pall-mall, beg to
intimate to the public that, in consequence of the rebuilding
of their premises, it has become imperative on them to
dispose of the whole of their valuable Stock, which they
have determined to offer for immediate Sale, at a very con-
siderable reduction of price. Messrs. H. and Co. offer to the
public the assurance that the Sale thus announced is bona
fide. Their entire Stock, consisting of Silks, Ribbons, Lace,
Embroidery, Shawls, Scarves, Cloaks, Mantles, Gloves, and
the recherche Selection of Millinery, for all of which their
establishment is so eminently distinguished, will be unre-
servedly subjected to the reduction. The Sale will be con-
, tinned for a limited period.
[ADvERTISEMENT.]--Tieedaehe, Nervousness, De-
bility, and Giddiness in the Head cured by Holloway's Pills.—
Mrs. Drink water, of Castle-street, Liverpool, had been in ill
health for a considerable time, suffering from severe headache,
nervousness, and a debilitated censtitution, and frequently she
would be so suddenly seized with a giddiness in the head that
her strength would fail her, and she would fall to the ground.
Every effort was tried to obtain relief by following prescrip-
tions of medical men, but without success. She then com-
menced taking Holloway's Pills, and this invaluable medicine
soon strengthened the tone of the stomach, renovated the con-
stitution, and so effectually cured the headache, that she is now
enjoying the best of health.—Sold by all druggists, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

THE COUNTRY MARKET:.

WAKEFIELD, FEE. 15.---The arrivals continue good of
most articles. There is a moderate demand for wheat, and an
advance of Is per quarter is generally required, but not ac-
ceded to, and the market closed at the full prices of this day
week. No change in the value of barley, and the sale con-
fined to good qualities. Oats and shelling steady. Beans
rather higher.

SPAIN.

PORTUGAL.

The Count de THOMAS has introduced a most strin-
gent measure for the repression of the liberty of the
Press.

On the 6th Count Levitepro moved in the Cham-
ber of Peers that since the Chamber would not admit
his interpellation, it should at least declare its indig-
nation at the introduction of the QUEEN'S name into
the affidavit made by Count THOMAIt in the affair of
the Morning Post. llis motion was negatived by
the majority, Count THOMAR having taken care to
secure the good behaviour of the spectators by re-
inforcing the guard at the door, and filling one-half
of the gallery with municipal soldiers in plain clothes.
The scene which took place in the Chamber of
Peers on the sth, a short account of which appeared
in The Sun of yesterday, beggars description. In the
sitting of the previous Friday Count LAVRADIO had
addressed a question to the President of the
Council (Count THOMAR) respecting the intro-
duction, by the latter, of the QUEEN'S name
into the affidavit made by him in the suit insti-
tuted against the Morning Post. Count THOMAR
replied that he was not prepared at that moment
to answer, and, after some conversation it was
agreed, with the tacit consent of the Chamber, that
the question, or interpelletion, as it is called here,
should take place on the sth. An entry to that effect
was made in the Acts, or Diary, and the President,
on closing the sitting, gave out, as the order of the
day for that of the sth inst., the interpellation of
Count LAVRADIO. When the appointed day arrived,
the galleries of the Chamber were thronged Nv ith
spectators. The President declared the sitting
open, and before Count LAVRADIO had time to make
his interpellation, Viscount LABORIAI rose to move
:hat before it could be admitted the Chamber should
b.) consulted as to its admissibility. The President
of the Chamber said that such was the standing rule
of that house. This was denied by the Opposition and
affirmed by the Ministerial members, the altercation
all the while growing warmer and warmer, and cer-
tain indications of displeasure from the galleries be-
coming more and more unmistakeable, until at last
Count l'uoman said, " What the Opposition requires

WALES.

Mr. SCOTT wished to know whether the Right Hon.
Baronet the Secretary at the head of the Home Depart-
ment had received any returns respecting the cost of
an emigrant ship, amounting to 3501., which it was de-
sired to draw from the funds of New South Wales, and
to the expenditure of which the colony objected.
Sir G. GREY said that no such returns had been re-
ceived, but that he expected them in a few days. The
colonial funds would not be applied to the emigration of
any person convicted of crime.
CORONERS' INQUESTS IN IRELAND.
Mr. P. SCROPE rose to put a question to the Secre-
tary fir Ireland, respecting the 590 coroners' inquests
held last year in Ireland, according to the report of the
Poor-law Commissioners, in which verdicts of death from
want were recorded. He had to ask whether the Poor-
law Commissioners had made inquiry into those 590
cases, and whether they had in any one of those cases of
death from want found that one single death had been
occasioned by such an amount of neglect on the part of
the relieving officers as to warrant them (the Poor-law
Commissioners) in instituting criminal prosecutions
against those parties.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said teat certainly it was
without doubt that ma•iy persons had died in Ireland on
whom the verdict cf died of want had been passed. He
believed it was not the practice generally to hold in
quests over persons who (Eel in workhouses.
REGISTRAR'S OFFICE (BANKRUPTCY) BILL.
Mr. HENLEY wished to ask the Attorney-General a
question with regard to the Bill which he had asked the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman to postpone in the early
part of this week. The Bill would necessarily take
some time in discussing, and he wished to ask the Lion.
and Learned Gentleman if ho would undertake not to
ge on with the Bill to-night if it did not come on until
late?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he certainly
would not go on with the Bill if it did not come on be-
fare twelve o'clock.
DANISH WAR.—RENEWAL OF BLOCKADE.
Mr. SANDARS said that, as the Noble Lord the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs wag not in his place, he
should put the question to the Noble Lord on Monday
night; or, if he were not then present, to any Minister
who might happen to he there.
Mr. DISRAELI said the question of which Mr. San-
ders had given notice pas as follows:—" To ask the
Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, if it be
true that the Danish Government has refused to renew
the armistice of the 10ile of July last; and, if so, whether
the Noble Lord considers as a natural consequence the
renewal of the blockade cf the Prussian ports ut the Baltic
and the Elbe." Now he (Mr. Disraeli) would ark the
Noble Lord the First Minister whether it was the Danish
Government that had refused to renew the armistice?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the Danish Go-
vernment had not refused.

wisdom, and the beauty of those Free-trade princi-
ples which EBENEZER ELLIOTT, not long before his
late lamented demise, condensed into the form of
this felicitous epigram :

"Free trade means work for beef, not bone,
It means that men are brothers,
That every men should have his own,
And nobody another's."

Protection, therefore, having been proved altogether
insufficient, it becomes an imperative duty upon our
Administrators to contrive some other means of link-
ing together in a single chain of interests the enor-
mous fabric of the liritish Empire, home and colonial.
It remains for others to show that the project of the
Imperial Railway Communication between the Pacific
and the Atlantic is not capable of gradual realisation.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Patrie of Thursday evening contains the f 6
lowing paragraph : . . . .

" Vtirlous-rurna ours were in circulation at the Assem-
bly to-day relative to disturbances in the south, but
these accounts are very exaggerated. The Government
had, it is said, been informed that a certain movement
had taken place at Narbonne on the occasion of the car-
nival, but that it had been promptly repressed."
The Moniteur announces that the PRESIDENT Of
the Republic has received a letter, by which his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of RUSEIA notifies the birth of a
Grand Duke, a son of his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke heir apparent ALEXANDER NicoLAD,
WITCH. This Prince received the name of ALEXIS
at the baptismal font.
The family of M. PROUDHON have been permitted to
visit him at the Conciergerie. his journal, the Voix
du Peupie, was again seized on Thursday. The Voix
du Peuple of yesterday thus announces the fact :

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 15.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
solicitor to the Fishmongers' Company, praying that
their Lordships would permit the officers of the House
to give evidence at a trial about to take place in the Court
of Common Pleas.
On the motion of the NOBLE and LEARNED LORD, the
prayer of the petition was granted.
The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD also presented a
petition from the Kirk Session of Lanarkshire against
Post-office work on a Sunday.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition
from some place in the county of Down against the
national system of education in Ireland.
BANKRUPTCY CONSOLIDATION BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM postponed the second reading of
this Bill, and explained that it W 23 owing to the altera-
tions introduced by the Commons into the Bill of last
year that the failure of justice at the Central Criminal
Court had recently taken place..

THE BARQUE INDIAN.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL asked if the Govern-
ment had received any information of the cruelties
a4eged to have been committed on the female emigrants
on board the barque, Indian, during her voyage to
Adelaide.
Earl GREY said that no official communication had
been received by the Government on the subject, but it
appeared from the usual organs of public intel-
ligence, that it had been alleged that most
disgraceful scenes had taken place, and that the colonial
authorities had instituted an investigation, and the Noble
Earl might rest assured that that investigation would be
pursued with rigour, and that if parties had been guilty
of any outrages they would be punished with
the utmost rigour of the law. He admitted that
cases of abuse had occasionally occurred on board
emigrant ships carrying out females, but in ge-
neral the conduct of the officers of those ships
had been exemplary. In every case in which abuse had
occurred, when it had come to the knowledge of the
Government, the Emigration Commissioners had been
instructed to enf )rce the exaction of penalties against the
owners of those ships, and to prosecute the delinquents.
He could assure their Lordships that no efforts were
spared to guard against the occurrence of abuses on
board female emigrant ships.

is to be well pounded down, and it shall
be by me." All at once there burst forth
from the crowded galleries an uproar 'of yelling,
hooting, hissing, and stamping, with cries
of " Off, off " (fora, fora), " Shame" (pouca
vcrgonha ), and similar expressions of indignation.
In a moment all was tumult and confusion ; all the
Piers rose from their seats, many persons ran out of
the house in terror, expecting violence and bloodshed,
while to the cries of " Order," addressed by fifty
voices at once to the galleries, the refractory public
responded by roaring out, "Keep in order yourselves
below there." In vain did the President argue, im-
plore, threaten ; the spectators were not to be paci-
fied, and it was only after they had bawled to their
heart's content that the noise gradually died away
and order was restored. The finale of the strange
scene was, that it having been put to the vote
whether the interpellation should be allowed or not, it
was decided that it should not by 27 votes against 22.

SWITZERLAND.

The French Constitutionnel publishes the following
letter dated Rome, 11th Feb.:—
" The general subject of conversation here is the ah-
senco of the representatives of Prussia and Russia, at the
diplomatic dinner given by the Federal Council. The
latter of these powers has, it is true, only a secretary of
embassy here, but as to Prussia, she does not appear to
admit that the treaties of Vienna can be broken by the
fact of an insurrection. There is reason to believe that
she has claimed all her rights, and that the auswer given
to her has not been satisfactory. The state of affairs
does nct appear satisfactory, although the Federal
Council feels convinced that all the difficulties will be
smoothed down. No collective note has, up to this
time, reached the Federal Council; the refractory
cantons are returning to ideas of moderation,
which leads to a hope that the demands of diplo-
macy may be ratisfied. The heads of the federal Go-
vernment declare that they have done all that is called
for by international laws, and that they could not go
further. Tie orders recently given prove a strong wish
to put an eod to the affsir, but in a federal state, where
the cantonal and federal powers are liable to contro-
versies, it is very difficult to foresee anything. The fe-
deral Government will not interfere in the efl'Air of the
fortifications of Geneva; it finds it prudent not to com-
plicate questions; when a mischief is irreparable it must
be submitted to. The embarrassments of certain canton-
nal governments are very great; it is those who first
sympathised the most with the refugees who at present
are the most desirous to get rid of them at any price.
When the Federal Government first foresaw the mis-
chief, it was called inhuman; at present it is called blind.
Such is the logic of political passions."

IN RE J. GRIFFITHS.

The bankrupt was a draper in the Strand. His
debts are said to be about 4,000/., hi, assets about
3,800/. Assignees were chosen, and Messrs. Mac-
killop and Young appointed the accountants in the
case.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Reynolas, able-bodied pauper, was brought
before Alderman Genus, charged with having de-
frauded the guardians of the City of London Union
of 21. in cash and an outfit of clothes on the pretence
of the intention and on the promise to go to another
country for a livelihood.
The defendant had, it appeared, from the evidence,
been what is call " following the sea" for the last five
years ; but it was shown by Mr. Coleman, of the Ge-
neral Register and Record-office for Seamen, that he
had never proceeded further from the neighbourhood
of his favourite union than Portsmouth or Plymouth,
and that upon four different occasions he had been
brought before magistrates upon charges of combined
• •tion and idleness. It was, according to the
imposition
statements against him upon the present occasion,
his constant practice to obtain berths and clothes
adapted to his engagements, and to slip away from
them immediately after he succeeded in turning de-
sertion into any kind of profit.
About a month ago he was brought before a magis-
trate upon the charge of having deserted from a
vessel at Plymouth, where he had been supplied with
a berth through the interference of the board of
guardians, and upon that occasion, uponl the sugges-
tion of Alderman Gibbs, his register-ticket was de-
livered to the Mansion-house officer, who was directed
to see him safely and securely on board. That duty
was carefully executed by the officer, who had re-
ceived particular instructions from the alderman, hut
notwithstanding all the ingenious precautions which
were taken to give the City Union a " happy rid-
dance," the defendant managed to obtain his dis•
charge. 11e then disposed of the outfit supplied by
the board of guardians, spent the 2/. which had been
placed in the care of the captain for his service upon
the arrival of the vessel at_Sydney, but which he had
