DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.

most distressing,oceurrencee that has ever in my recollec-

o'clock this day came in one moment (and without any
previous cracks or indications having been perceived) level
with the ground. A foundation was digging for another
warehouse adjoining it, and the labourers had had their
dinners brought them, which they had taken, and were
resting themselves on the foundation ; and, dreadful to re.
late, ten were buried; two have been taken out, with very
faint hopes of recovery; eigheare still under the ruins; and
in a dwelling-house adjoining, where there was one family
of seven brothers and sisters, three are no inure, the re-
mainder were slightly injured. I was present, and lost no
time in sending for a coach, and sending two of them to
the Infirmary, who are doing well.
Suffolk-street is a great thoroughfare, and which street,
with the others, are filled with the materials of the ware-
house and its contents; for every, room was full of goods,
cotton, &e. It was a boarded warehouse. At The time
it fell the distress was dreadful; for no one knew who
might be buried under the ruins in some of the streets,
and all the neighbourhood were seeking in every direction
that part of their families who were absent. Under all
circumstances the loss of life is much less than could pos-
siWy have been expected. At this moment thousands
from all parts of the town are visiting the place through
every avenue leading to the fatal spot.

SPIRIT. PE'THE PUBLIC JOPNALS.

With the name,q the'" dead weight," the public are
nearly as well acyntinted sta• with that of Old Nick; but
with 'its substance, or 'real nature and operations, un-
donbtedly, not en atom better. We were told at the out-
set, that it ivas'to,be something which Would relieve our
Own 41uudders ofa burden, amonntin to about 2,200,000/.
by.substitutiegan annual payment of 2,800,0004 from the
Treasury, for Qiie of 5,00,000/. sterling ; but at the same
thnetcoutipuingthe lesser annuity for the definite period
of 45 years, during which the generation coining after us
would he saddled with it in the same mode and extent
that. we are. When Mr. Vausittart brought forward that
notable scheme in 1822, he assumed the "dead 'Weight;'
or the then amount of army, navy, and civil pensions, at
5,000,0004 sterling; which stain he calculated would, by
the course of nature, gradually diminish, and at the end of
45, years pe (educed to nothing., On referring to the
solutions then submitted to the House Of Commons, we
find the following scale of dirniuntion laid down : if the
pensione are now 5,000,0004 a-year, they Will be at the
00 of each One of the ensuing 45 years be of die 6)11(4-
ing magnitude :
After ,year 1, nr in 1823 - £4,845.5,86Q
After, year 2, or in 1824 - 4;711;708
After year 9, or in 1825. - - 4,561,559
There ought, therefore, in the year 1826, to have oc-
curred a diminution in the " dead weight" of between
400,000/. and 500,000/. on the yearly charge. But it appears
by the table we' published yesterday, that this fund was ac-
tually higher ill 1825 by a few thousanda than it \visit) :1822,
There' can only be' tine construction put on' these faets--;-;-
viz. that they afford additional proofs of shameful extrava-
gance in the adininistration of the public nioney unlesS
the absurd supposition can be entertained that no VriCatf-
Cliff by death have occurred among the innumerable pert•
sioners on this fund. Instead of mortalityheing'permitted
to act on the annuitants in the regular Way, extraordinary
practices must have been, employed to sWelhtheamount.
Sales of half-pay by old lives have been authorised and
encouraged, and young lives substituted (a them ; num-
bers cif bilkers have been thrown uponhalf,pay,'to rend&
the army 1114 re efficient.; large additions have been made
to the civil annuities, as May be seen by the 4)let; ;; and
the result is that melancholy one which we now behold—
thet.the ";dead weight'-' at the end of 1825 'exeeided it,
amount as promised by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
to no less areextent than full. half a million per, Annum.—
Having alluded to the civil branch of this national burden,
we present the following short statement of figures to
public consideration :
. In 1822 the " civil dead weight" was £332,000
1823 - 360,000 •
1824 390,000. ' •
• 1825 - • - 428,000
An increase, 'indeed of a reduction, to the extent of nearly
100.0004 in three years. So much for mortality! Now
what into be the end of, all this / In the beginning of
1828,,the Bank Of England ceases to lend us any more
money on account of " dead weight," and there Will then
be., at a single jump, a risain the budget of expenditure,
form 2,800,0004 to considerably more than 5,000mp01.
Times.

-Some of the ," Cornwall- and Devon" Mining gentry
have taken in woful dudgeon the' accounts which , have
been given to the world Of What passed atthe firstMeet-
nig of that hopeful concern; and at their next meeting
determined Chat no reporter shoat find his Way into the
room,,,We da, trust, however; that some of the share-
holders theniselves will supply the deficiency, by gwing'
the public, either through our column, orthose of some
of our contemporaries, that information, -which, in spite
of the opinion of Lord Pahnerston, or any. other Lord
in Christendom to the contrary, we boldly and openly
maintain 'that. the.. public have a right to receive, ~' Of,:
the impolicy of this attempt at suppression it is hardly
necessary to speak. If what Mot been suffered to trans-
pire to their prejudice admits of a reply; Nova 'absurd
is it to shut the very doors' against the' titiretrite from
which the poison, if it be' such, was pertnitted to proceed.
But the policy is their concern; auk it. is with the right,
and that-only', that we have at present to do. What! is
it to be contended that these people may concoct schemes,
and pi:it forth to the public specious statements and pro-
spectuses, under colour Of which large sums of money are
obtained? Are they to call meetings in the, first place,
when, theirobjeet being to get money, men, women, and
children are solicited to attend ? Are they to appoint
themselves to snug directorshipa auditors, solicitors, sur-
veyors, managers-hips,. sic., and pay thenotelves good
round bonuses andsealaries out. of the money thus sub-
scribed; when their conduct is called 'in question, are they
to turn round and tell the very people' Whose aid they first
soliatek..and. thrmigh whose means they have become
what they are, " Oh, you have nothing -to do ,with the
yawn.; do not presume to intrude upon our privacy ; it.
is true ttkat our rommeueement was public, but, our close
must be with closed'doors!". Surely, no Lord. or Gen-

pose for a momein that some charge were brought. against

s' talon in Office; and a day' were appointed for its investi-
gation in the House of Commons, would, the. Noble Lord
or any of his colleagues, move that " strangers should
withdraw," and that this metter be investigated in private?
Is that the way in which he would clear . hi* :public elm-
' ranter from grounded or groundless imputation? But it
wit, perhaps', he. urged that they admitted per-
, sons Waco had signed their deed to ,be present.—
, Very libeet and generOUS truly!' But may there
.
not,evenin this. contracted, view of the audience, be some
who have haa's4iii 'gold reasons for not signing the deed,.
but who have still au eanced their money ? May there not.
be others, who, having advanced their money, were coin-
pilled to abandon or sell t;';‘eir,Slittrcs, owing, to the sup-
posed mismanagement of these peqle ? IY yLa *re not,
to short, be hundreds of persmis deeply inta,reetati, directly'
or indirectly, in the matter,' Who yet are not (so far fortu-.
nately, perhaps), partners in the conceal? But what we
contend is, that they themselves originally !mule it a drib
; the shares Were, and perhaps styli are, subjects
of barter In a public nuirket, and for these people t. 4 ture

POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.

1 MANSION-HOUSE.--A member of the Society of Friend*,
r. „T. Dixon, via's summoned to show cause Why he refused to
y the arrears of tithes due' to the. Rector of Bithopsgate, the
;shop of Chester. '
The ease for the parish ~was conducted by Mr, Smart. Mr.
L. ixon took several legal; objections. He pleaded a misnomer of
din pixon instead of Jacks Dixon, but he Waved that, as he
. id he should be able to defeat- the claim on grounds.ef amore
riots nature. He called for :the' technical proof of the appoint-
-1 eat' of the collector, and also for the production of the rate-bOoks.
I otheti said he PO to object that the rates were **properly
firmed and assessed.
Mr. Smart contended that this was a question which could only
b tried at the Sessions. , •
i
The LORD Mevaa, upon looking at the Act, said that the rate
u son which lie was to proceed, must be duly and regularly formed,
a,l
d uniet he so proved before him.
Mr. Mimi then stated, that by the act which fixed the stipend
t 9 be paid by tine parish` to their rector, it was regekted that it;
in any one year, there should 'be surplus of tithes collected, it
should be carried to the account for the succeeding year, and. the
rite' their to be levied'should-:be r in consequence proportionately
diminished. Now no less a stun than 1,700/. had been raised for
the purpose of buying u house for their rector., This SUMAS&
been charged upon the rate* for tithes, which he was now called
upon to pay. • He 'badereligious and lainseientioutS scruple against
the payment of this money, and against the application which the .
parish officer* bad veptured,to triake of it without the sanction of
ail act of Parliament. There was also a sum of 6SB/. which had,
been taken from the tithes, and applied to the poor rates; itete.
pendently of another sum of money which had been applied to the'
Purpose of repairing and beautifying the Bishop's ' residence.
These sums, which had been so taken from the tithes illegally,
twingthe former year, would have formed a surplus, which if it
',had been carried to the tithe rate for the present year, would
have materially reduced it. In that parish, where they were
groaning under a burden of 10,100/. per annum for poorer' rates,
it became every aria, even those who were friendly ,to , a; church
establishment, not to acquiesce in such a mal-appropriation of the
public money.
Mr. Smart, in reply, said, that the money Which was ob-
. cted :to, at having been improperly raised, had been borrowed

I 0 before his coming amongst them, and therefore' he hail thing
to do with its • •
Mr. Dixon.—But I have a great deal to do with it : you come
now to pay out of the rate which you endeavour to lay on me, the
money which war' borroWed before my arrival, and yet you ' say I
have nothing to do with it: .
The Loan ItYOR, said, he did not see that the parish officers
were justified it coming as it were to reap the defendant's corn,
Mid take'it, in payment of a debt contracted before his arrival, and
to which the rates for tithes were not applicable.
Mr. Smart contended that the tithes were applicable; the fact
was, they lutillound it necessary to enlarge the church-yard, end.,
in sti'doing they were compelled to take down the Rector's house,'
which of course they must make good. Under theact theyrnight
defray the ,expences of any alterations in the church-yard from this
particular rate.
The Limo Mavott, on looking at the act, said he saw no au-
thority' Oren them to raise money for the enlargement of the
church-yard; They were certainly enabled from this rate to de-
fray the expellees. of any repairs. , He, as . the Chief Magistrate,
would nOt otherwise be inclined to favour any application of pa-
rochial funds to such a purpose. He was against the enlargement
Of any church-Yard in the city, and would be glad to have them
removed'out of it, where it was possible.
Mr. Dixon denied that the church-yard had • been enlarged....
A new hoilding had certainly been raised, but then it had been 4
let to a merchant. , In addition to this,, they were to pay 1,700/
for repairing and beautifying the BishOp's house, and erecting te-
nemenbi for his servants. -
Mr. Smart said, they had the fiat of the Bishop of London for
the application they lied made of the rate.
The Loan MaYox paid, :that the Rev. Prelate's fiat would not
in such a case be sufficient authority.
Mr. Smart again respectfully questioned the Lord Mayor's au-
thority to decide as to the propriety of this expenditure, and sub-
mitted that this should be done by the defendant's appealingto,the,
roliQultt Avltertttheperielrwould readily meet him.
IVli. 'Dixon raid, that the cote of such tin appeal might pots
Orly Writ ittli'i 'Upon an individual, and he trusted that the Lord
?dolor would trot grant is warrant for the sale of the goods of any
leitizen withoot beiuj trimly satisfied that the demand upon which
it was issued was lust and strictly legal. Here it was tu4ther one
nor the other. What right had they to buy a new house for' the
:Bishop ?—what right had they tee beautify and adorn'the premises
of one who was handsomely paid, 'and well capable of paying for
'it himself? Were parish officers to be allowed, at their own dis-
cretion, tp appropriate between 2,000/. and 3,004 of any rate
to other purposes than those for which it was specifically raised
according to Act 'of Parliament? ' ,
TheLoato Meivort said, he was satisfied 'that no parish was,
in,general, under; better management than "the extensive and:re-
specie* parish, of Bisimpagate. HOW ant doubt but that the
payments in question were slot acid proper in O'er-irately", and such
es the inhabitants would cheerfully contribute to ;` but it was not
clear to him that the rates, raised by the Act of Parliament for
settling the tithes of, that iparith, were 'equally applicable to the
purpose. It was, however, a question of the highest importance;
end he, should therefore take the opinion of the.City,Solieitor

adjourned.
BOW-STREET.--We gave a narrative; about' five weeks
ago, under the 'h'ead of " Slave Dsalinir in which a Captain
Young late of the merchant ship Naha; 'of Liverpool, was ~stated
to have -Undergone an examination at, Deptford, before . Sir
ittettawo BIRNIR, on a charge for having told four women for
slaves, while in the river Danger, on the African coast. , That ,
examination of course was is private One; and we could only cal- •
lect a few' particulars from a person who' was present. We were
then informed that the accused was committed for trial, but this,
it appears, was not-the fact. In consequence of some arrange-
ment between Mr. Made, of the Treasury,ouid the legal ' adviser
of the accused, he was riot brought up for final hearing until!
yesterday, when he was placed at the bar of this office, before Sir,
R. Birnie,:and the examination was gone through de nova.

story about the slayer was t'44 to the woes beat's crew; but they

sometimes had nothing to eat fora day but a plantain and a little

crew of beeekincorien•elaretoresand.stealing cloth.
The witness answered Mr. Broderick with great flippancy, and
repeatedly contradicted' assertions which he had made a moment
before. •
Daniel Pepper was, steward of the Malta on her voyage to
Africa, where she traded for:wax; ivory, and gum. When at
Gabroon they traded with the natives, and four women were
sent, (as is usual in the traffic) on board the Malta as pawns
for the trusts which Captain Young had placed in the hands
of 'certain natives, -,who were to supply him with goods. The
natives, to whom - these women belonged, did perform their
contract; • but Captain Young would net deliver them up, be-
', dime the Kiug of the place bed not supplied eertain goods, •for
which fruits had • been given. Witness heart( Captain Young
say, unless they were - redeemed he would sell them. Witness
then described the visits. to and from the slave schooner, and
deposed that the mate of her examined the Women; and said
they ,were•very. fine; and- the Captitin said he intended to
make sale of them. The captain of the slaver came on board
the Malta, and had a long conversation with Captain' Young,
a Wive, called Antonite•Toin, luting, as'. itiutrpreter. Captain
Young said, he would sell the women for 60 dollar* each, but
the Spaniard said he 'would give but 28 ; finally, 80 dollars
each was agreed Upon, and the money was, tid upon the table
in lots. Witness saw the money exchanged, and Captain
Young . gave hini the ' dollars to count, and , he found 120.
Captain Young then ordered the women into the schooner's
boat ; they cried very . much as they descetided the gangway.
Witness afterwards went on board the schooner, and saw the
poor women 'sitting on the after hatchway, crying ; he also saw
about 80 man and women ironed below. The space between
decks was about three feet in height. The crew told him they
intended to get 200 shies altogether. The schooner was about
80 tone hurden.
Cross-examined.—Wituese often quarrelled with Capt. Young,
who accused him of stealing cloth,'but not till after they were on
board the Brazen. Remembered Young' being severely beaten,
and he deserved it. '
John Walker, the mate, was examined in corroboration, and
eaid, the women were put on board as hostages, and were detained
after they had been, properly speaking, redeemed by their relatives,
for a debt owed to Young by the'King of the place, who had
given no pledge. 'Witham did not observe' the selling ; but Young
Afterwards told him he had sold the women.
Croes-examined.---The Imate of the'wehooner told witness she
was bound first to Gabroon, where the women came 'from, and
afterwards to the southward.
Two' apprentices on beard the ship, named Hood and Rawes,
were also examined, but stated no new facts,of importance.
The evideke fOr the prosecution being closed, Mr. Brod-
rick submitted to the Magistrate that this was a case in which
the discretion vested' in' him by a late statute, of taking bail in
cases of felony, might fairly be exercised. The Learned Gentle-
oian'then argued at considerable length, with a view to show
-flat the story of the' crew was full of improbabilities, and
might fairly be taken as the invention of a set of disaffected
men ; and even (continued,. the Learned. Counsel) admitting
that their statements were quite true, the transaction was per-
fectly .consistent with the innocence' of the prisoner ; for there was
nothing at all to shoW that the bargain betweenhini and the Spa-
niard was not merely' for the latter to take the women hack to
Gabroon; whither it was acknowledged the schooner was bound;
and that the amount paid was the amount for which the prisoner
had detained them, and which the ' Spaniard would receive back
on landing them.
' Mr. 'Hanle said, he should be sorry to press hard against the
accused, but he must say that it was than a case of mere
suspicion. He was willing, however, 'to leave it entirely to the
111agistrate.
After some conversation, Sir R. Butrar said, he was always
sorry to abridge the liberty of the subject, but lie could not view
this as a casein which he ought to take "bail. The prisoner must
!stand committed for the capital felony. - .
• Mr. Broderick earnestly represented the length of time which
the prisoner had Already been in confinement, and was likely to
remain so ; and requeited Sir R. Birnie would take time to con-
sider the topics which he bad urged.
Sir R. BIRMS said lie would certainly do so, and would care-
fully read over the depositions before he finally decided. , In the
mewl time thenrisoner stands committed for trial.
