Mr. L. WALKER produced the patent of his late Royal ant sld. for London.
Highness the Duke of Sussex, which was read.
Lord CAMPBELL said, all these are honours. I believe, of
the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland ?
Mr. WALKER said they were. He was Comptroller of his
late Royal Highness's household at the time of his death.
The witness then put in several letters, which he deposed to
be in the hadwriting of the late Duke of Sussex, from which
we extract the following passages :
" Augusta, with this note I send thee a ring, such a one as
I trust soon to be able to put on thy finger myself. I kissed
it. I have put it upon the Bible, and repeated to myself the
oath I took last night. Keep it always, and never let it go
from thy finger ; thus prays thy fi lend, thy lover, thy future
husband."
" I have given you my most sacred word of honour, my
Augusta, to be your husband, and none ether but yours. I
wrote it to you most sacredly upon my knees, and assacredly
I perform this ceremony again, which my heart dictates, and
which I am resolved to keep, whatever may happen. As
I hope to be saved in the last day, 0 God ! I promise to take
Augusta Murray for my wife ; for better for worse, and
none other but her. Though not present, my soul, have
sworn this upon the Bible in presence of the Almighty; my
Creator is my witness; what other one but Him do I want;
who else but our all-merciful Father can judge me 1 all this
I write, and have wrote upon my knees, and promise thee,
my heart's delight, I will wed none other but thee, and thee
only."

" Should our marriage here not succeed, I must then fall
upon other plans, fur we must meet alone first, that is certain ;
it is necessary for our mutual happiness and good. We owe
this to ourselves, for our feelings will be such that we shall
want no witnesses but ourselves ; we must have none ; we
will have none but us two ; and now I come to repeat the
first part, that should our marriage not here take place, it
makes no difference in our lot, though in our happiness, for
we are bound to marry one another by everything that
is sacred. It will be only delayed then, and next yearl am
of age, so may act for myself, and my first object will be
you, for I am ever yours, and all yours, as I hope for salva-
tion, so bless me God ! I only repeated this to my treasure,
in order that, should anything happen, she may know what
she is about. As for the Abbe's inquiring among the Greek
priests, I see no use, I own ; for I doubt if our marriage
through one of them would be more valid than through a
Roman one. I talk openly you see, as I think, and as I
have always acted, and always will act. However, I trust
he has wrote to Leghorn this evening, according to his pro-
mise. Whatever may happen, and will happen, in whatever
situation I may be, I shall be always Augusta's, my
dearest Augusta's husband, her warmest, her truest
friend, the man to whom she will reveal every
thought, every uneasiness, who will act the same
by her, and whom this mutual confidence and trust
will ever, must ever, mike happy. The moment you tell me,
treasure, my treasure, to speak to Mr. Gunn, I will, and not
before ; and in everything I will use the utmost exertion, the
utmost interest, and the utmost circumspection, looking upon
myself as the chosen guardian of Augusta's honour, by the
will of God, and by her own inclination, which are to me the
two strongest, the two dearest ties."
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice WicairmAN, and a
Special Jury.)
wimiAmEti V. CRAWFORD.

This was an action directed from the Court of Chancery,
arising out of the bankruptcy of Copeland and Co., of Liver-
pool. The case was likely to occupy the Court the entire day.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Baron Rot,FE.)
SPILLER V. MASON.

The Court was engaged all the morning with the above
case, which was an action brought by the plaintiff to compel
the defendant to effect certain repairs in a house in Clare-
street, Clare-market. The chief point in dispute was to flx
the defendant as the tenant, but the details of the case and
the evidence, so far as it had proceeded, were of the most dry
and uninteresting character. The matter appeared likely to
occupy the attention of the Court for the rest of the day.

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE WM. ENGLISH.

The insolvent in this case, who had carried on business as
a publican at Turnham-green, had been before the Court on a
former day, when the case was adjourned, in order that he
might give up this house and other property for the benefit of
his creditors.

The insolvent again appeared in Court to-day, when Mr.
Cooke prayed for judgment.
The COURT sentenced the insolvent to be imprisoned for
five months from the date of his vesting order.
Several unopposed insolvents, in whose cases there appeared
no feature of general interest, were discharged upon their
petitions.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.)
TIIE ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—This morning,
Elizabeth Lindsay, aged 37, spinster, Ellen Lindsay, aged 33,
spinster, and James Lindsay, 60, surgeon, were placed at the
bar, the females charged with stealing several blankets, seve-
ral sheets and counterpanes, and a quantity of linen, value
401., the property of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, their
mistress; and James Lindsay with feloniously receiving the
same, well knowing them to have been stolen.

The Solicitor-General and Mr. Adolphus appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Kelly, Q.C., Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Clarkson,
and Mr. Ballantine, defended the prisoners.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having stated the case for the
prosecution,
Mr. ADOLPHUS proceeded to call the witnesses in support
of the first indictment, there being several against the pri-
soners.

The case was proceeding when we went to press, and would,
in all probability, last the remainder of the day.

QUEEN-SQUARE.7(THIS DAY.)

Joseph Bowers, a journeyman chimney-sweeper, was charged
with disorderly conduct in the streets, and with assaulting
the police.
. Policeman 157 B saw the defendant and some other sweeps
in Queen's-buildings, Knightsbridge. He was jumping,
shouting, and making other discordant noises, and throwing
his coat, which was, as may be imagined, none of the clean-
est, at persons who limed. Witness cautioned him, and de-
sired him to desist, but, instead of doing so, he made use of
threatening and obscene language. Knowing the defendant
to be a dangerous character, and as he was in the habit of
boasting that whenever takeni into custody, six policemen
were invariably required to do so, he obtained the assistance
of other constables, who assisted him in taking the defendant
into custody. Six policemen were, as usual, required for the
purpose, some of whom were severely struck and kicked
by the defendant, who refused to walk, and they experienced
the utmost difficulty in getting him to the station-house, in
the way to which he swore that when he was at liberty he
would prevent them from taking any other persons into cus-
tody.
The defendant said he had been drinking, and had no re-
collection of having been guilty of so much violence.
He was fined 405., and in default to be committed for a
month.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Frances Robinson, a genteel-looking girl, 15 years of age,
was charged with robbing her parents, under the following
circumstances:— . .

Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson, the mother of the girl, who was
so deeply affected that she could scarcely be kept from faint-
ing while giving her evidence, stated that she was residing
with her husband and another of her daughters, in Little
Pulteney-street, Golden-square. Every possible care had
been taken in bringing up the prisoner, but within the last
six months she had formed a connexion with several dissolute
lads and girls of her own age in the neighbourhood, and had
become a most wicked and abandoned girl, frequently re-
maining out all night. She (witness) had begged of her with
tears, and on her knees, to desist from her evil courses, but
without the slightest effect. A few days ago, she, during the
absence of her parents from home,broke open a box and stole
a writing desk, a tea caddy, and a valuable shawl, with which
she absconded; and her parents heard no more of her until
she was taken into custody by the police. The shawl was
afterwards discovered to have been pawned by her at a pawn-
broker's in the neighbourhood, but no trace of the other pro-
perty had been discovered. The mother added that she
attributed her daughter's ruin to her being enticed to a sing-
ing and dancing-room at a public-house in Earl-street,
Seven-dials, where there was nightly an assemblage of from
fifty to one hundred girls and boys, some of the former not
more than twelve years of age ; smoking and drinking were
permitted, and scenes of the most disgusting profligacy took
place.
Mr. IlAnDwicic gave peremptory orders for measures to be
instantly taken for the punishment of the proprietor of the
room in question.
Mrs. Robinson said she was afraid that if some restraint
was not put on the prisoner she would come to an untimely
and shameful end.

Mr. HARDWICK said it might appear very severe to her
feelings, but under all the circumstances she had better pro-
secute. The Court might, perhaps, send the prisoner to some
asylum.
Mrs. Robinson said she should adopt the magistrate's ad-
vice, and the prisoner was accordingly committed.

This morning, shortly after eight o'clock, the usually quiet
neighbourhood of Notting-dale, Bayswater, was thrown into
a state of the utmost consternation, in consequence of the
sudden outbreak of a fire, which has resulted in the destruc-
tion of eight dwelling-houses and two carpenters' workshops,
with their contents, including the working tools of from 40 to
50 journeymen.
The fire commenced in about the centre house of a newly-
erected row of buildings, situate immediately behind the Nor-
land-crescent, Notting-dale, Bayswater.
With all speed three engines of the C section of the Fire
Brigade, headed by Mr. Fogo, the foreman, and large bodies
of firemen, were at the scene, as well as Mr. Oonnorton, with
the West of England firemen and engine. The powerful en-
gine of the County-office was also at the spot remarkably
quick. The engines were set to work from the best positions,
and by dint of great exertion on the part of the firemen, they
succeeded in staying the further progress of the fire, but not
before eight of the houses, together with the valuable piles of
timber and the two carpenters' workshops were entirely con-
sumed. The engines were still playing when we left at twelve
o'clock, but no great danger was apprehended.

MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,500
bales, there being considerable firmness in prices. Specula-
tors took 1,000 bales, and exporters 300 bales.—Railway
Shares were rather better, and Birmingham rallied to
216/, the Thirds to 35k, and Grand Junction to 216.
Birmingham and Gloucester were 92 ; Chester and Birken-
head, 30 ; Eastern Counties, lla ; Edinburgh and Glasgow,
66i ; Midland Counties, 92i ; North Midland, 92i ; Scottish
Central, 2/. 7s.

As the arrivals of produce from every quarter are at present
so large, owing to a change of wind, business is rather checked,
and buyers feel that they shall have an ample stock from
which to make a selection.

The advices from New York are still satisfactory in refer-
ence to trade, though we apprehend that the high tariff of
the United States is forcing the extension of its domestic
manufactures to the injury of its own consumers certainly,
but, at the same time, to that of the foreign shipper also.
The Texas annexation affair engrosses still a great deal of
attention, and does not assume a better aspect, although if
Congress should adjourn there may be no more thought of it.
In Canada commerce was active, and the effect of the
amended corn- law will be to send us large supplies, especially
as the season here continues so dry, and of which intimation
can so speedily be sent across the Atlantic.
We understand that the banking interest have some hopes
of inducing Sir Robert Peel to take the five years' average
for the circulation. We almost doubt it; strong as the feel-
ing is becoming against the Premier, not only among traders,
but landholders, the more his measure is discussed.
The Public Securities are very quiet, and there is some
flatness in the quotations, owing to the American news.
There is also more demand for money. Bank Stock has been
worth 1981; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have receded
to 1011 1; India Stock for Account is 285.
In the Foreign Market there has been also a want of
animation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 221 to ;
and the Three per Cents., 341 to 4, being tolerably steady.
Mexican have rallied slightly from the depression of yester-
day, being 34 to for the Actives, and 141 for the Deferred.
Buenos Ayres have been quiet at 36. Portuguese Converted
have improved a little, viz. to 464, but are not buoyant.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 611, and the
Five per Cents., 1001 toil-.
There is very little doing in Railway Shares, which have
a tendency to droop. Bristol and Exeter are 9, and Bristol
and Gloucester 164 premium. Birmingham have been heavy
again at 1121 to 115 premium. Brighton are steady, and
South-Eastern lower. French lines are not so good.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.--It will be seen,.
from the table given in another part of the paper, that
the number of deaths during the last week was 901, being
45 below the average of the last five years. The num-
ber of deaths from small pox is unusually great-49; and
of these 35 had not been vaccinated. The following is
the analysis of the list of violent deaths:—Falls, 2 cases;
burns, 4; drowning, 1; and suicide, 2. The thermome-
ter was highest on Saturday, 74.1, and lowest on Mon-
day the 3d, 43'6 degrees.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 11.—His Majesty the Emperor of
Russia arrived here yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his
Majesty the King and the Prince of our Royal Family, who
had been to Helvoetsluys to meet him. This morning there
was a very brilliant review of the troops of our garrison. The
Emperor of Russia, the King, the Prince of Orange, and
Prince Alexander, followed by a numerous staff, arrived in
the field on horseback, and rode along the front of the line,
where they were welcomed with loud acclamations of the
troops. The Queen and the Princess of Orange were in an
open carriage, and the weather being extremely fine there
was a great multitude of .spectators. The troops executed
various evolutions with great precision and readiness,
to which the Emperor paid the greatest attention, and ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction. Many foreigners, among
whom were several distinguished officers, expressed their ad-
miration of the appearance and discipline of our troops.
Accounts concerning the Imperial family, received from
St. Petersburgh, obliged the Emperor to shorten his stay here,
and he left the Hague to-day at two o'clock, to return to his
dominions.
BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—The King and Queen, Prince. Augustus
and Princess Clementine of Saxe Coburg, will leave Brussels
on Tuesday for the King's country-seat at Ardenne, where
the Royal family will spend some time.
We arc assured that the negotiations between our post-
office and that of London for the daily transmission of mails
by steamers, between Ostend and Dover, are nearly concluded.
A principal clerk in the department of Palk Works
(Post-office division) will soon proceed to London, with in-.
structions to put the last hand to the treaty which is to be
made on the important subject. Thus, we hope, that we
shall have very shortly a daily and rapid communication be-
tween England and Belgium, which has long been called for.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 10.—The Chamber of Representatives is
now nearly at the end of the whole discussion of the tariff of
differential duties, and the various amendments and additions
brought forward iu the course of the debate.
