CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY).
OLD CO U R 7.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Daniel Dearlove, aged 35, chemist, was indicted for felo-
niously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James
Dearlove, and stealing two bank notes of 1001. each, eight
sovereigns, and other moneys, his property.
Mr. Wilkins conducted the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner.

place under the secure lock and key of a Peni-
tentiary, the man of all others most dear to the hearts
.of Irishmen—the man who may be said, without
exaggeration, to hold his country's destinies in his
hand—the man who, if we mistake not, will yet be
found too strong for the Ministry who have incar-
cerated him. Truly, Ireland has every reason to be
grateful to her Tory rulers—every reason to sink
back into that state of quiescence which she ex-
perienced during the conciliatory Administration of
Lord NORAIANBY ! But the end is not yet come.
True, the monster-meetings are put a stop to, and
Mr. O'CONNELL is confined within the four walls of a
prison ; but it is his body only that is in durance ;
his spirit still walks abroad; the seed which he sowed
—be it for good or for evil—still flourishes; and,
perhaps, he was never so powerful as he is at the
present moment ; for to admiration of his talents and
confidence in his patriotism, are now added the in-
tensest sympathy in his fate, and the conviction that
his trial has been an unjust one. Sir ROBERT PEEL
has already shown that he cannot govern Ireland,
lle has yet to show—and the proof will be forth-
coming ere long—that he cannot govern England.

The facts of this case had very recently been before the
public when the charge was investigated at Lambeth-street
Police-office. The prisoner was the prosecutor's nephew.
(The case had not concluded when we went to press.)

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Murray was charged with assaulting John
M'Dermott. On that morning, between one and two o'clock,
the complainant, one of whose arms was in a sling, and quite
disabled, was standing in Church-street, St. Giles's, when the
prisoner came up and accused him of being a " smasher" (an
utterer of bad coin). M'Dermott indignantly denied the
quarrel ensued, and blows were struck
on proved, however, that the prisoner, a
chabrogteh ;
siv dhese. hereupon
was a
powerful man, struck the first blow, and afterwards beat the
complainant so violently that the blood flowed profusely from
his mouth. Police constable Allen came up and prevented
further violence. The complainant is a musician, who ekes
out a precarious subsistence by playing the violin at the
humblest class of public-houses, but it appears sufficiently
well to enlist the sympathies of a numerous body of sweeps,
costermongers, and ladies of the pave, who accompanied him
to the Court, and seemed to take a lively interest in the legal
proceedings.—The prisoner was fined 7s.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Hart was charged, before Mr. Traill, with gambling
on Peckham Race-course.

Policeman 26213;taied that on the preceding day the
Peckham Races, near the Rosemary Branch, took place, and
that he was stationed there by orders of the Commissioners
of Police to prevent gambling. He had not been long there
before his attention was called to a crowd, collected at a
short distance from the temporary stand, and on going
up he observed the defendant at a small table.
There was nothing on the table at the time, but the defend-
ant was busily engaged in depositing something in his
pockets, which, on being examined, were found to contain
the articles for playing at the games of " thimble rig" and
prick in the garter." The defendant, however, declared
that he had not had a single customer, and that he had not
played at either of the games.
In reply to Mr. TRAIL, the policeman said the race-course
was private property, that it was inclosed ; but that a
number of fellows intruded themselves by getting over the
palings; the defendant was one of those who got into the
ground in the above manner.
The defendant said that he had only just arrived from
Leicestershire, and that being out of employ he tried to earn
an "honest penny," not knowing the law forbad the old
games of "thimble-rig and prick in the garter" on race.
courses.

We have received Madrid journals of the 10th, but
they are barren of intelligence. The Funds had im-
proved a little. The Three per Cents. closed at 27-1
to for cash, and 27i at 60 days ; and the Five per
Cents. at 20i at 60 days.

The Journal des Debats, of Monday, contains an-
other singular article on the affairs of the East, and
especially the relations of China with the East India
Company. We are surprised to find the able and
cautious editor of this paper duped by some unscru-
pulous correspondent at Bombay or Calcutta, who
mistakes the visions of his own imagination for facts,
and transmits them to Paris as the latest news of the
day. " The news brought from China by the last
mail," says that journal, " possess much interest.
Political as well as commercial affairs are assuming a
different aspect, and we can already foresee coming
changes of sufficiently grave importance." It then
relates a story, dressed up by its veracious corre-
spondent in these words :—" The first event of im-
portance is the arrival at Calcutta of Sir WILLIAM
PARKER, the Governor of Hong-Kong, charged with
a proposition from the Emperor ofCInNA to the East In-
dia Company. The Ruler of the Celestial Empire
being desirous to save his subjects from the de-
moralising effects produced by opium, offers to pay
the Company an annual tribute of a million and a
half sterling, on condition that they give up the cul-
ture of opium throughout the whole extent of the
British possessions." This is a lesson of philanthropy,
the writer adds, which would do honour to the
country of WILI3ERFORCE and Lord ASHLEY. It iS
a noble spectacle to see this poor Monarch (pauvre
monarque) conquered and scoffed at, exclaim, with
the money in his hand—" Here is the gold which ye
seek—the gold which ye must have for your luxury
and comfort. Well, take it. I give it you, but do not
poison my subjects." The bargain, however, it
would appear, was not struck, as the English in India
could make more by the trade. This is all very im-
portant, and fresh news to the English public.
The only domestic news in the Paris papers is a
general strike among the barristers practising in the
Cour Royale. It appears that a leading member of
the bar wished an important suit, in which he was
engaged, to be postponed on account of the death of
his child, as he was unable to do justice to his client.
M. SEGUIR, the President, however, refused to ac-
cede to the proposition, stating that private feeling
had nothing to do with public duty, and that the
business of the Court could not be interfered with by
the absence of any of the counsel. This decision
created a sensation unfavourable to the President,
which was still further increased by his declaring in
another instance, where an advocate threw up his
brief in an unworthy cause, "that the advocate in
question had done wrong ; that barristers in general
were bound to plead whether the case were good or
bad; and that, if they did not do so, they acted con-
trary to conscience and to their oath." A meeting
was held in consequence, when they unanimously re-
solved to refuse to plead in the Court without an
ample apology from the President. That determina-
tion was to be announced to the Learned Judge on
Monday.

Mr. TRAILL told the defendant that the above games were
unlawful, that on the present occasion he should not put the
law in force, but warned him not to exercise his vocation
again on race courses.
This advice the defendant said he should adopt, and he
was therefore discharged, his apparatus being forfeited.

DEATII OF TIIE AUTHOR OF THE " PLEASURES OF
HOPE."-It is with feelings of poignant regret that
we record the death of Thomas Campbell, the poet,
who died a day or two since at Boulogne, in the sixty-
fifth year of his age. With the sole exception of Rogers
—who still lives and flourishes at a most patriarchal
age--Campbell was the only remaining disciple of the
polished but artificial school of Pope. The first work
by which he made himself conspicuous in literature
was the " Pleasures of Hope"—a poem which was
written, we believe, before he had completed his 22d
year, and which still maintains its place among
our English classics. This brilliant production was
followed by " Gertrude of Wyoming "—a more chaste
and elegant, but scarcely so animated a composition
as its predecessor —" Theodric," the " Pilgrim of
Glencoe," and those immortal lyrics, " Hohenlinden,"
" Lochiel's Warning," " Ye Mariners of England,"
the " Exile of Erin," and the " Battle of the Baltic,"
which have rendered his fame as enduring as the lan-
guage in which they were written. But Mr.
Campbell was not only a poet, he was a
prose-writer also of considerable merit; and
published successively lives of Mrs. Siddons and
Petrarch, together with " Letters from Algiers,"
which abound in descriptions of exquisite beauty.
For a long series of years he edited the "New
Monthly Magazine," to which he contributed many
little poetical gems of the purest water; and on his
secession from this periodical, started the "Metropo-
litan," of which, however, he soon wearied. From
an early period of his public career, he enjoyed a
pension of three hundred pounds a-year ; was
one of the founders of the London University ;
and in the year 1836, had the high honour
of being elected Lord Rector of the University of
Glasgow. In politics he was of the Liberal school;
took a warm interest in the affairs of Poland; and
was on habits of familiar acquaintance with all the
most illustrious literary spirits of his country. As a
poet he would have achieved the highest possible rank
—for his genius was of the first order—had he had
more faith in his own impulses, and obeyed with
more boldness the promptings of his fervid ima-
gination. But he was fastidious to a degree in
his poetical tastes, and would, at any time, sacrifice a
fine thought to a correct line. His " Gertrude of
Wyoming possesses all the fine polish of Parian
marble ; and the description of the death of the
heroine, and her last address to her agonised husband,
is, of its kind, the tenderest and most touching episode
to be found in the whole wide range of modern
English poetry. Mr. Campbell was born in Scotland,
and received his education in Edinburgh. He was
social in his habits, was a kind friend, and a truly
catholic politician.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
without animation, although a fair business has been done at
previous prices : 550 hhds have been sold. The public sales
have consisted chiefly of 3,697 bags Bengal, of which only
about one half found buyers at previous rates; the remainder
was taken in above the value. The only transactions which
have taken place privately, worth reporting, consist of a
cargo of yellow Havannah, consisting of about 1,400 boxes,
which have been sold afloat at 19s, deliverable at a near port
on the Continent; also a cargo of Maroim at 22s 9d to 235,
deliverable at Antwerp. The quantity of British Plantation
landed last week at the East and West India Docks was
5,864 hhds, 630 tierces, 1,291 barrels, and there were taken
for home consumption 1,003 hhds, 69 tierces, 230 barrels.
The stock in the same places is 8,694 hhds, 1,150 tierces,
1,555 barrels. _ _ .

COFFEE.-50 casks Jamaica, 1,754 casks Ceylon, 110 bales
Mocha, and 700 bags East India were offered by auction.
The Jamaica sold chiefly at 86s for mid and good mid coloury
quality, being about former rates. Of the Ceylon barely
one-third was disposed of, at 48s 6d to 50s for good ord palish
to very good ord, which prices must be quoted is lower. All
the Mocha was taken in at 70s for common mixed quality.
The East India sold at 26s for ord Batavia, 39s to 40s for
good ord ditto, and fine Padang at 32s to 32s 6d, the latter
description was taken for home consumption ; all of which
are about former prices. Privately a cargo of Rio has been
sold afloat at 30s 6d, deliverable at Rotterdam.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 626 puns 237 hhds; there were taken
for home consumption 91 puns 14 hhds; and exported 91
puns 11 hhds. The stock in the same places is 8,541 puns
1,810 hhds.

S I'ICES.-1,183 bags Pepper, and 1,000 chests Cassia Lignea,
were offered by auction ; the former consisted chiefly of good
Eastern Sumatra, which sold at 2id, and a few lots at 2d,
being a decline of fully d upon this description ; about
one half of the latter found buyers at 62s 6d to 68s 6d for
mid to good quality, which are about former rates; the re-
mainder was taken in at 58s for good ord coarse.
TALLow.—T. Y. C. has improved to 40s 9d and 41s 3d per
cwt. on the spot ; Town at 425. per cwt.
TEA.—The market is firmer. There is a small public sale
for to-morrow. Deliveries are to a fair extent.

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—We learn

that the grouse are in the same critical state with the crops,
being, like them, dependent upon the weather of the next
week or two. The birds are just now chipping the shell,
and are found in hatches from eight to twelve, which,
allowing for casualties in early youth, would likely give an
average number of coveys in the autumn. Everything, how-
ever, depends, so far as regards the lower range of moors,
upon an early fall of rain, for with the continuance of the
present drought for another fortnight few birds, in such
situations, would survive it. Again, on the higher range of
shooting grounds—viz., at the head of Atholl, Badenoch, and
Lochaber, where the snow is only yet melting, abundance
of springs are found all the year over for the young birds,
and the supply of birds on such places will, to all appear-
ance, be as good as usual. The principal moors in the Perth-
shire Highlands, are held on leases, so that there are com-
paratively few changes on such; but on the lower grounds
there are some excellent shootings in the market.—Perthshire
Courier.

This morning, between the hours of one and two
o'clock, the neighbourhood was thrown into a state of alarm,
in consequence of a young man of the name of Markam, a
drayman, in the employ of Messrs. Coombe and Delafield, the
well known brewers, having precipitated himself from the
attic window of the Coach and Horses public-house, in
Charles-street ; a female passing at the time witnessed the dread-
ful'event, and immediately gave the alarm to the policeman
on duty, who conveyed the unfortunate man to King's Col-
lege Hospital, but he expired ere he arrived there. No cause
can be assigned for the rash act; he quitted the bar with the
intention of retiring to rest, and was perfectly sober.
HARBOURS OF REFUGE ON THE COAST.—h has
been suggested to Lloyd's, that if the Spatway, or passage
between the Buxey and Gunfleet Sands, was better known,
and such measures as are necessary for that purpose taken,
such as the laying down buoys, &c., and a leading mark
through and into the River Cole, the shipping interest would
be greatly benefited, although that harbour is but little
known by the seamen generally, it incapable ofholding 500 sail.
DEATH OF JOHN LAINSON, ESQ., LATE ALDERMAN
OF BREAD-STREET WauD.—Yesterday morning at an early
hour, and after a most protracted illness, died John Lainson,
Esq., at his residence, No. 58, Euston-square. The deceased
gentleman for nearly 10 years filled the office of Alderman
of Bread-street Ward, in which he had carried on business
under the firm of Lainson, White, and Co., for nearly half a
century. He succeeded the late Mr. Alderman Atkins, in
18

was also a magistrate for the county, and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him. lie has left a widow and
large family.
ALLEGED POISONING IN STEPNEY.—Yesterday the
inquest on the body of Mrs: Rachael Bellaney, wife of Mr.
James Bellaney (now in custody) was resumed before Mr.
Baker, at the Fountain Tavern, Stepney. The evidence
given on this occasion was precisely similar to that which
has been already published. The Coroner said he was in
communication with Mr. Broderip, relating to this case,
and suggested another adjournment for a week, which was
agreed to.

IMPORTANT TO GROCERS AND OTHERS.—A fire,
which might have been attended with very disastrous con-
sequences, broke out on Sunday night, in a warehouse be-
longing to Mr. Benny, of Winchester. It was discovered by
the policeman on duty, who aroused Mr. Benny, and that
gentleman, aided by his shoprnen, succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames, though not before considerable damage was
done. The origin of the fire deserves to be generally under-
stood, as a warning to dealers in lamp oils. In the ware-
house where the oils were kept, the floor for sake of cleanli-
ness, was spread over with sawdust. This had been swept
together on the preceding Saturday night, near to the door,
which was found ignited, and there is little doubt that this
heap of oil-moistured saw-dust had spontaneously taken fire.
This opinion is confirmed by the experience of the South of
England Insurance Society, who found from experiments
among the West of England clothiers, that even wool mois-
tened with fish or lamp oil, was capable of spontaneous com-
bustion when heaped together. Stores where such oil is kept
should be sanded, and on no account covered with sawdust,
or other ignitable matter.—Hampshire Advertiser.
SALMON FISHING.—A few days ago the salmon
fishery in the Bay of Nigg, the property of the, city of Aber-
deen, was let on a lease of seven years, at the yearly rent of
7441.. while the same fishery, about thirty years ago, only
brought to the city treasury 101. per annum.—Aberdeen
Herald.

APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS LAST
EVENING.—The House of Commons was crowded
at half-past four, by Members anxious to hear the
Ministerial statement. Sir Robert Peel, however,
did not enter the House until nearly five o'clock.
Among the strangers seated under the gallery was
Lord Morpeth. His Lordship entered the House at
four o'clock, and took his seat under the gallery. The
leaders of the Whig party, as they entered the House,
went up to his Lordship and shook him heartily by
the hand, and some of them engaged in earnest con-
versation with him. His Lordship, who appeared in
excellent health and spirits, seemed to enjoy the ani-
mated scene which the House presented.

THE WEATHER.—There has been a delightful
change in the weather since last evening. The ba
rometer has fallen fully half an inch, and we have
had several genial showers of rain in the course of
the night and this forenoon. Aa the change has taken
place about the time of new moon, and the sky is
much overcast, we may hope that the long and de-
structive drought is at last come to an end.

EARTHQUAKE: Lately two smart shocks of earth-
qaake were felt at Comrie and Crieff—the motion of the
earth was from west to east.—Scotch Paper.
STORM IN EDINBURGH.--Yesterday afternoon, a
large portion of the wall between the Queen's Park and the
Dumbiedikes was blown down by the high wind which pre-
vailed during the day from the westward, in consequence of
which twelve sheep and four lambs, the property of Mr.
Cormack, James's-square, were lulled.—Edinburgh Evening
Post of Saturday.

The renewed division on the Sugar Bill, leaving the ques-
tion in abeyance till next year, has not caused any vexation
in Mincing-lane, as the importers and dealers are harassed by
these frequent petty changes, and would rather go on till a
decided alteration can be made. At the sametime, it is admitted
that if the free foreign sugar could have been got in without
much delay, but which, owing to the distinctive vouchers
required as to their growth, &c., few persons believe, a boon
would have been conferred upon the consumer.
The movement of the agriculturists against the Bank
Charter Bill is considered to be gaining ground, as, indeed,
the farmers begin to be more sensible of the increased diffi-
culty they will experience in obtaining occasional money

have been adopted, in substance mostly agreeing, but
especially directed to this point.

FRENCH GENEROSITY.—The brig Symmetry, which
arrived at Falmouth lately, for orders from Odessa, with
grain, had a very long passage, and when a few leagues off
Scilly, the crew were so short of provisions as to be com-
pelled to bruise some of their cargo and make a kind of pud-
ding for food. They were likewise very short of water. In
this strait the Symmetry fell in with an English brig, and
one of the officers went on board, and inquired if he could
be spared some provisions. Have you got any money ? was
the reply. This being satisfactorily answered, one cwt. of
bread was hoisted out, for which this selfish captain charged
285., though most probably it cost him only a guinea! A
few days after the Symmetry fell in with a French brig,
and after stating their destitute condition, applied again for
provisions. The French captain immediately got out a bag
of his very best bread, a supply of water, and a variety of
other articles of consumption and when he was asked the
cost, he magnanimously replied, " Noting, me no take one
sous ; me very glad to serve you ; no take one sous."— West
