to receive the small savings of the poor, from ld.
to 20s. at a time, and pay them the accumulations
at the end of the year to expend in clothing and
fuel. The depositors were very poor, hard working
people, and if the money was not returmd to the ap-
licants there would be a great deal of suffering.
Mr. YARDLEY hoped the poor people would be
paid the whole of their savings. He directed Wit-
tleton, 152 K, one of the summoning officers attached
to the court, to make inquiries.
Some time afterwards, Mr. Harris, clerk of St.
James's, Ratcliff, came to the court to snake some ex-
planation, Ile was accompanied by a host of persons,
who were very indignant, and said they had been
tricked of their money. Mr. Yardley has ing retired
from the bench, and his place having been taken by
Mr. Ingham, the parish-clerk could not give the ex-
planation he wished, and he was, moreover, informed
that the magistrates had no jurisdiction in the matter
at all, and that the officer was merely directed to make
inquirieS to relieve the minds of the depositors, and
to obtain the interposition of the trustees, if any, but
none had been found.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

TRH LATE DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED
STRANGULATION IN NORTON-STREET.— William Thomp-
son, alias the " Black Diamond," was brought before Mr.
Bingham for having been concerned with two other men
not in custody, in committing a most daring robbery,
accompanied with violence, on the person of Mr. Adol-
phus Dubois, dentist, Princes-street, Leicester-square.
The particu!ars of the former examination appeared
in this journal on Thursday last. The prisoner was
now defended by Mr. Cross, solicitor, of Surrey-street,
Strand.

The evidence adduced on the former examination
having been read over by Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk,
the prisoner's solicitor proceeded to examine the prose-
cutor as to his identity of the prisoner, but elicited
nothing whatever to shake the evidence he onted on the
previous occasion, he (the prosecutor) being confident
the prisoner was the man who gagged and robbed
him. Several gentlemen who had been robbed by similar
means were in court, but could not distinctly sw fie
that the prisoner was the person who had committed the
offence,.

The prisoner, who persisted in his innocence, was fully
committed for trial.

EQUITABLE, FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,000/.
(Incorprated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.

The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation. _ _ _ _

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highe it importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomtly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this questron, and will consult his Interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office w'll, lay a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tit- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter Into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

POLAND.

Letters from the Polish frontier of Prussia state
that the reports of concentrations of Russians on
the frontier between Silesia and Poland are well-
founded. In the middle of the present month Rus-
sian columns appeared without previous notice in
the Polish towns near the Silesian frontier, which
were immediately distributed among the villages
Along the boundary line. The troops consist of
lancers and infantry. The town of Czenstochau is
crowded with them, yet it is not known from whence
they have come or whither they are going. All the
horses and waggons of the border country are
pressed for the service of the army. The Polish
inhabitants have to lodge and feed the troops with-
out repayment, end do not look on them as Welcome
guests.

On THURSDAY, December 26,.1850,

Will be produced an entirely new and original grand historical
Equestrian Christmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre,
by the author of " Bluff King Hal," to be entitled

HARLEQUIN AND O'DONOGIIUE ;
or, The White Horse of Killarney.
To say that this Equestrian Pantomime will be superbly
" mounted," is to say no more than must be expected ; coming, as
it does, surrounded with such favourable auspices.
It has been said by some authors, that O'Donoghue (hut I don't
know who) was a good Prince of Ireland; who, eschewing whiskey,
was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot-
tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, finding
himself taken with a swimming in the head, he would pop up to the
surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across
the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have
thrown him into a galloping consumption but such has not proved
the case, for some assert that not only he, his Horse too, is " still
alive and kicking." This hard galloping, or tlalloparding, always
occurred on the Eve of May-Day. The description of him is that he
was tall—but not at all too tall—that lie was handsome, and would
hand some whatever they desired— that his appearance was even in
the light of Day—that of an Electro plated Knight ; for he was
covered all over with a thin Coat of Silver—this Coat he could
never wear out, because he was always at home. Bat now to the
Pantomime :

SCENE THE FIRST.
TIIE GLEN OF MISCHIEF.

The flag of Mischief, over a Peat Fire, is still trying to elicit from
an Illicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the form of WHISKEY :
who, though still in the Still, won't be still, but " busts his biter,'
and stands confessed the REAL POTEEN

This powerful Spirit is sent by the Hag of Mischief, under the
disguise of Paddy Carey, to tempt and ruin the followers of " Father
Mathew" and the " Water Cure," whom, she says, are the especial
favourites of the " Water Drinking Fool," O'Donogbue. Whiskey
swears he'll de her bidding, for he'll fire them with drink, by
making them as drunk as blazes.' Mischief parts from Whiskey
with " a drop in her eye," but Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is
sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't be far off.

SCENE THE SECOND.
THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY.

The entrance to the Mansion of Lord Bullfrog is on one side, on
the other a little inn. It being in Ireland, the sign was to have
been " a Bull," but " bulls" not being in fashion at present, it has
been changed to the " Queen's Head." It being May-Day Eve, the
Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the
water, as if sweetly M'Adaraizing the road, preparatory to the ap-
pearance of

A NEW MODE OF POACHING.

To say nothing of the various systems of wiring,
snaring, trapping, and shooting, usually employed by
man, there is one mode of netting—although many are
practised—that is not much known, and seems to de-
serve especial notice from its destructive character,
and the success with which it is frequently
attended. Two or three poachers, disguised
in respectable attire, travel about the country in a
gig or dog- cart, accompanied by a single pointer
or setter. One of the party alights at the outskirts
of a village or country town, and proceeding to the
public room of the nearest tavern, loon falls into con-
versation with some of the unsuspecting inhabitants ;
and passing himself off as "an intelligent traveller,"
to theaveller,''
or keen sportsman, about to pay a visit
neighbouring squire, soon obtains sufficient local in-
formation for his purpose. The other " gentlemen"
have in the meantime put up their horse and gig at
an inn in a diff3rent quarter, and while discussing
their brandy-and-water at the bar have " pumped the
landlord of all the news likely to prove useful to the
fraternity. At a certain hour in the evening the trio
meet by appointment at some pre-arranged spot out-
side the and commence operations. After com-
paring notes, the most promising ground is selected.
A dirk night and rough weather are all in their favour.
The steady old pointer, with a lantern round his neck, is
turned into a stubble field, and a net of fine texture, but
tough ml.terials, is produced from a bag in which it has
hitherto been closley packed. 'The light passes quickly
across the field—now here, now there, like a Will-o'

THE UNITED S.ER VICE.

The most important article in the present number
of the United Service is that entitled "Annexation of
Oude." The writer is evidently thoroughly master
of his subject, and he proves to demonstration that we
have not only a right to depose the imbecile and cruel
tyrant who now, thanks to British protection, ty-
ranizes over the inhabitants of Oude, end has, by

his misgovernment, reduced one of the fairest pro-
vinces of India to a desert, but that, as a matter of
good policy, we should at once absorb Oude into the
British territory, while it is our bounden duty to
the oppressed inhabitants to afford to them the se-
curity which can bo alone derived from extending to
them the benefits of British government and British
institutions. There are several articles of great merit
on professional subjects in this number.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY

to drain the district. The inclination is very irre-
gular, and the form of its sides and bottom is very
rugged and imperfect.
" It is proposed to straighten its course, giving it
a clear inclination of 8 feet per mile, to increase its
depth below the surface from about 5 feet to 13 feet,
and to invert its bottom from a point 1,500 feat below
Stamford-bridge to Lorraine-place, Holloway, a dis-
tance of three miles. The invert will be so formed as to
constitute the bottom of a covered susver of the
average height of 7 feet ; the level of the invert
being at the upper end 75 feet above the Ordnance
datum, and that at the lower end 51 feet, falling in
3 miles 24 feet. _

"From this point to the lower end to the part pro-
posed to be improved, the distance to the outfall of the
Hackney-brook into the river Lea will be 3i miles,
so that the proposed improvements terminate about
3} miles, from the junction of the brook with the
river Lea, and at an elevation of 36 feet 6 inches
above Trinity high watermark, so that it will not be
in any way affected by the proposed alteration on the
river Lea. He recommended that the proposed
invert be formed of blue metal bricks from Tarn-
worth or Stafford, which will increase the estimate
from 5,600/. to 7,9001. This is under the conviction
that this will continue to form the main line of sewer
from this populous district; and it appears to me that
the substitution of hard durable bricks will form a
saving in the end. As regards the necessity for the
execution of these works it may be stated that the
improvement in the drainage of Holloway (at present
so much complained of)depends entirely upon the pro-
pcsed alteration iu the Hackney-brook, and that until
such alteration is effected the state of Holloway must
necessarily remain as it is at present, not being suffi-
ciently deep to form an outlet for its drainage.
FIANK FORSTEIL."..;

Following this report was a more recent one, re-
commending that the proposed line of sewer should be
covered, as the earth in its course was loose, and some
difficulty would be experienced in keeping the sides in
order. The work would be a part of the general
system of drainage of the metropolis, and the increase
of cost upon the original estimate would only be
2,0001., making altogether 9,856/.
The report was agreed to, and a vote passed, order-
ing the commencement of the works.
It was stated by Mr. E. Lawes that the works or-
dered for the drainage of Sydenham would be charged
entirely upon that district, and that due notice of their
execution would be given, in order to allow time for
any objections which might be made.
After transacting some ordioary business the Court
then adjourned.

THE HISTORY OF

PENDENNIS. By

W. AL Thacheroy. No. XXI.
Having in the former number exhibited his hero
in the thrall of the worldly old Major, prepared to
sacrifice everything to interest and position; and to
bestow himself even on Blanche Amory, provided
by so doing he can secure to himself her fortune
and Sir Francis Clavering's seat in Parliament,
our author in this number re-introduces him
to his guardian angel Laura, and we begin
to entertain hopes that he may yet be saved
from that misery which must be his inevitable
lot should the schemes of the worldly-minded Major
in his behoof be brought to bear. There are two
circumstances related in this present number which
lead us to hope that Mr. Pen, in whose well•doieg
we, in spite of all his faults, take a great interest, will
escape the misery of the Amory alliance. The
first is, that Blanche has recognised in
Altamont, her father, the convict Amory, and has been
recognised by him, and the next is the announcement
of the death of John Henry Foker, Esq., the rather
of Blanche's former admirer, and the probability that
the young gent has inherited a large fortune.

Railway Company and a party of private friends.
HUDSON'S-BAY l'noDucE.—The first arrival for the

bay, with 19G bales, 13 cases, and la) other packages of

GERMANY.

Letter 3 from Frankfort of the 12th inst., in the
Deutsche Zeitung, state that a favourable crisis has
intervened in the affairs of Electoral Hesse.. The Duke
of Nassau has been at Wilhelmsbad and Rumpen-
helm, and although Count Thun hastened to coun-
teract the Duke's advice, it still appears that his re-
presentations have made some impression on the
Elector. Baron Dornberg, the Hessian agent at the
Prussian Court, has been sent with a letter to Berlin,
and it is thought that good hopes may be founded on
the crntents of that letter, since it is notorious that
M. Ita3senpflug was not consulted on the subject. M.
Ilasser;pflug and Count Thun appear greatly discon-
certed, and violent recriminations are said to have
passed between the Elector and his would-be ad•

visers.
Tne Zeitung fur Nordthutschland, of the 12th
nstani, announces another Ministerial crisis in
Hanover. The present Cabinet are awaiting their
dismissal, and a new Ministry is forming under the
auspices of Mr. Detmold (late Member of the Frank-
fort Paliament, Minister to the Regent John, and
Hanoverian agent at Frankfort), and Mr. Linde-
mann, It appears the crisis was brought on by a
diversity of opinion on the Hessian question, and
respecting the so-called Federal resolution of the 21st
of September. Mr. Salve, the Hanoverian:Fremier,
and his colleagues wished to oppose that resolution ;
they declared that they must resign their posts unless
the King consented to protest against the Frankfort
resolution. The conduct of the King after this de-
claration was such that the formation of a Cabinet
under Detmold and Lindemann may be hourly ex-
pected. Mr. Salve and his colleagues are drawing up
a memorial.

An extraordinary edition of the Deutsche Zeitung
contains a notice (the authenticity of which is, how-
ever, open to much doubt) affirming that the Elector
of Hesse-Cassel abdicated on that thy.

FRANCE.

The Patrie in mentioning the departure of M. Per-
signy, says:—" We do not know the precise na-
ture of the mission with which M. Persigny is
charged, but we have reason to believe that it is
connected with the grave complications of which
Germany i 3 at this moment the theatre. His ab-
sence will not exceed three weeks."
We find the following in the Patrie :—" In a poli-
tical saloon, the day before yesterday, a Spanish per-
sonage of distinction stated positively that the collar
of the order of the Golden-Fleece sent by Queen
Isabella to the President of the Republic is the same
as was worn by the ex-King Louis Philippe. It is
well known that this order, which is usually given to
crowned beads, is always returned at the death of the
party pcssessing it, and the Orleans family having
immediately sent it back to the Queen of Spain after
the death of the King, it was the only one which
Queen Isabella had at her disposal, and General
Narvaez recommended its being sent to the President
of the Republic."
On Sunday an ascension, which exceeded in bold-
ness anything that has hitherto been attempted, took
place from the Hippodrome. The Uranus, the balloon
belonging to M. Poitevin, rose in the air, carrying in
addition to the aeronaut three young females belong-
ing to the establishment, who were suspended from
the car. They had wings affixed to their shoulders,
and appeared as if flying in the air. Their ascent
was hailed with shouts by the immense concourse of
persons assembled, but a feeling of terror seemed to
predominate at seeing the females suspended in mid
air, without anything apparent to support them. After
being about au hour in the air; the entrepid aeronauts
alighted in safety on a plain near Villejuif.
A murder was the day before yesterday com-
mitted in the Faubourg Poissonniere, which is the
more melancholy, as the victim is a young man of ex-
atelier] tcharacter, and innocent of the crime which the
perpetrator intended to revenge. A journeyman
locksmith had for some time carried on a guilty
intrigue with the wife of a fruiterer residing in the
above street, and, not content with that, he was con-
stantly insulting the husband. On Sunday he came
into the shop of the fruiterer with a young man, em-
ployed in a warehouse in the neighbourhood, and
after drinking two or three glasses of brandy began
his insulting remarks to the husband. On leaving
the shop with his companion, the fruiterer took up a
knife, followed them, and blinded by his passion,
stabbed the innocent young man, and killed him on
the spot.

" Letters from St. Petersburgh," says the Bulletin

posed from the efFccts of the climate of Russia, her
physicians have ordered her to pass some months in

THE LATE QUEEN OF THE
• BELGIANS.

OSTEND, OCT. 14.—The King left this morning,
at eighfio'clock, for Lacken, accompanied by Queen
Arnelie.and all the afflicted members of the family,
together 'with some of the Cabinet Ministers. At
half-pait nine the clergy proceeded from the church
to the. 'palace, into which they were immediately
admitted. A little delay took place front some
of the -"arrangements not being completed. In
the meantime, the different societes or cor-
poration 4, with their banners in mourning and
reversed, began to assemble in the immediate neigh-
bourhood rf tha Rue Longue, where the palace is
situated. The Garde Civique and the few trcops in
garrison' lined the streets. At half-past 10 o'clock
the first roll of the muffled drums was the signal for
the departure of the precession. which moved through
the Place d'Arutes to the railway station in the fol-
lowing-order :—The societes, with their bands of
music and characteristic flags, &c. ; the gen-
darmerie; the clergy, with tea Bishop of
Bruges' at their head ; the hearse, drawn by six
horses., but so plain as to be distinguished only from
an ordinary one by the crown placed on the top;
directly behind was the chief mourner, the Duke of
Saxe-Coburg Gotha, husband to the Princess Cle-
mentine; then came- the Ministers of War and
Public Works, and other members of the household,
among whom were Generals Gabelet and Cruquem•
bourg; the civil and military authorities, &c. These
were followed by four royal carriages, in the first of
which were the Dames d'llonneur who had been in
attendance on her late Majesty; the procession was
closed by the gendarmerie and troops of the line.
On arriving at the station the coffin, which was of
simply 'polished mahogany, was lifted out of the
hearse and placed upon a moveable chapelle ardente,
constructed on the railway, and into which a few of
the clery- entered. Two first-class carriages, co-
vered with blank, were attached to it, and the whole
hurl a singularly striking and touciiing effect. As
soon as the De -Profundis had been sung the gloomy
convoy moved nois4-lessly on amid the sound of can-
non and volleys of musketry. It will stop and be
met by th clergy,tbefore it reaches Lacken, at
Bruges, Termoode, and Mali-nes.

CITY SEWERS.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of bu-
siness. Deputy Peacock presided.
After the reports of the inspectors of pavements had
been severally read,
Mr. RICEIARD TAYLOR said that he wished to in-
quire of the inspectors whether they had reported
upon all the obstructions which existed in the public
way ; if not, he wished to hear why they had not
done so.
The officers replied that there were in some places
sign-boards and other projections which stood out
into the public way to some few inches beyond the
existing rule. Most of them, however, were of long
standing. They considered it undoubtedly their duty
in all fresh instances of the kind to report such en-
croachments, and this they had done from time to
time.

Mr. B. TAYLOR considered it to be the duty of
the inspectors to report in every instance ; he did
not think they ought to omit the cases of undue pro-
jections of long standing. The system was an unfair
one.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR hoped the Court would be care-
nc,t to "fish in troubled waters." He. thought if
the public did not complain, that they had no right, LS
cornmisioners, needlessly to interfere.
Mr. R. TAYLOR could not agree with the last
speaker. He should continue to press the subject
upon the attention of the Court.

PREVENTION OF FURTHER POLLUTION OF TUE THAMES.

The CLERK having read the following motion, put
upon the paper of business by Mr. J. Morris, viz :
"That Mr. Beardmore's plan to prevent a further
pollution of the River Thames be referred to the
Committee o❑ Health, for them to report upon the
practicability and adaptation to the object desired,"
The CHAIRMAIN said that as one of the City repre-
sentatives of that court in the Metropolitan Commis-
sion, he wished to state that he felt it to be his duty to
submit to Mr. Morris whether it would not be better

if he (Mr. 'Morris) were not to press his motion at
that time. The reasons which had induced him (the
Chairmen) to suggest this course were these—the
commissioners for the metropolitan district, with
whom, he was most happy to say, himself and
his colleagues were most harmoniously acting,
had received end carefully examined upwards of
a hundred and forty different plans, and they
were now endeavouring, under the advice of Mr.
Frank Forster, the engineer, and Mr. Haywood, the
surveyor to the City Sewers Commission, to adopt
some scheme which they hoped would fully answer the
purpose— (Hear, hear)—and that both for the city of
London and the metropolis generally. No doubt Mr.
Beardmore's plan was a good one, but he (the chair-
man) thought that under the circumstances they had
better not interfere.

Mr. MORRIS had attentively examined Mr. Beard-
more's plan, which he regarded as being both simple
and efficient; as to the motion, the. Court might deal
with it as it thought proper.
It was finally agreed that for the present the mat-
ter should be dropped, Mr. Morris receiving a dis-
tinct understanding from the chairman that at any
future time he might re-introduce the question.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE.-WEDNESDA Y
The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to-day's
market (from a good clearance of the supply bring
effected on Monday) was small. On the whole, the de-
mand for that grain ruled steady, and last week's quota-
tions Were well supported. The imports of foreign
Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quarters. Selected
parcels were in fair request, at fully late ratcs. In the
middling and inferior kinds ntxt to nothing was doing.
Fine Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as dear. In•
ferior qualities commanded very little attention. Malt—
the supply of which was on the increase—ruled heavy,
but we have no decline to notice in prices. There was
less doing in Oats, at about stationary prices. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were much neglected. Flour was
held at full rates of currency.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
KENNY V. ARCHDELL—SLANDER.

This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action
for slander, the defendant having suffered judgment to go
by default. The plaintiff is one of the clerks on the
Blackwell Railway, and defendant is a young man of
good family residing at Shadwell.
Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clark-
son for the defendant; and it was agreed that a verdict
should be taken by consent for 51.
Mr. PARRY said it would be unnecessary for him to
go into the particulars of the case, as the defendant had
expressed his regret for using unwarrantable expressions
towards the plaintiff, who was only performing his duty ;
and there was no imputation on his integrity, and he was
still in the company's employ.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, expressed his regret
that the language had been used in a moment of irrita-
tion arising out of a dispute relating to some tickets.
It was clearly a mistake, and defendant wished to
make the best amends he could by acknowledging
his error.
The jury gave a verdict for 51.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

- - - -
CASTLE ITEDINGIIAM o'clock, OCT. 10.—At teo'clockL
last night the premises of Mr. John Chic:kali 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, end an oat stack, were reduced to
ruins. The greater part of the household furniture,
and most of the firming implements, 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 engines were promptly con-
veyed to the spot, and Superintendent boy, with
several constables, was in attendance, three of the
West Suffolk police from Melford being also present,
hut notwithstanding all the exertions made to save
the property, one barn full of wheat was all that
could he 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 fidd in tho parish, and near the town of
Keivedon, belonging to Mr. William Abbott, farmer,
was fired about 4 r m. on Friday last, and tho whole
was consumed. Two boys, named Howard and New-
man, each about 13 years of age, who were at work
in a field near the stack, gave the alarm at a cottage a
few minutes only after the light could have been ap-
