ISLAND OF HERM, OPPOSITE GUERNSEY.
The following letter contains particulars of some in-
terest to the shipping interest : _ _ _

Guernsey, Nov. 18, 1.844.
Sir,—The proprietor of the Island of Herm, which
lays immediately opposite the town, complains that diffi-
culties are placed in the way of vessels proceeding
there to load stone, while tone exist in respect of
vessels going to St. Sampson*,,, although, he contends,
the cases are precisely similar. I unlerstand that Berm
has been considered as no port, and therefore vessels
are not warranted in laying there to take in cargo, and
also, that as Herm is a small islet, separated from
Guernsey, that going there may be considered as
a deviation, the consequence of which diffieulty is, that
many vessels refuse to proceed there, and others will
only go on payment of sixpence per ton extra freight,
hick upon stone is a very serious difference. Now, the
harbour of Herm is inelosed by a jetty of about three
hundred feet long, and vessels are in safety ; therefore
I think it can scarcely be considered as no port ; and
as regards a deviation vitiating the insurance, I think
that as Herm is only a small islet, absolutely dependent
on Guernsey, and within two miles and a half of the
island, and as near St. Peter's port as St. Sampson's,
I cannot understand why a difference should be made.
The proprietor is prepared to buoy off the entrances
to the harbour, and to perform such other formalities
as may be reqaisim to remove these differences. There
are pilots living on the island.—l remain, &c.

WINTER ASSIZES.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, Nov. 27.

The Commission of gaol delivery for the county of
Kent was opened on Tuesday by Mr. Justice Wil-
liams, and this morning the business of the assize
ctanmenced. There are forty prisoners for trial, some
of whom are charged with murder. There are also
several other serious offences.

John Cogger, 33, a • person of respectable a).pear-
ance, surrendered in discharge of his recognisances,
to answer an indictment charging him with having
unlawfully acted as an attorney at the Quarter Ses-
sions at Maidstone, without being duly qualified or
admitted to practice in that capacity.
The defendant pleaded guilty.
Mr. BODKIN, who was instructed to prosecute, said
the indictment had been instituted by the I,:tw So-
ciety of the county, with a view to put a stop to the
practice of unauthorised persons acting as attorneys.
They had, of course, no vindictive feeling towards
the defendant., and as he had acknowledged his error
by pleading guilty, the prosecutors would be satis-
fied with his entering into his own recognisance to
appear and receive the judgment of the Court, if he
was called upon to do so, which would, however, not
be done unless he repeated the offence.
The defendant having entered into the required re-
cognisances, was discharged from custody.

THE CASE OF RICHARD DADDY THE PARRICIDE.

•
Mr. BODKIN made an application to the Court in
reference to the above prisoner, who, it will be remem-
bered, after having murdered his father, made his way
to France, and was eventually brought back to this
country and committed for trial.
The Learned Counsel, after having briefly allacipd
to the circumstances of the case, said there was no
doubt that the unhappy young man was insane, and
he had been removed, by order of the Secretary of
State, to a criminal lunatic asylum, where he now re-
mained. As the trial, therefore, would not come on,
he had to apply to the Court to discharge the recog-
nisances of the witnesses who had been bound over,
and to order that the money and other valuables taken
from the person of the deceased gentleman at the time
of the discovery of the murder, might be delivered to
his friends.—The Court made the order.

Mr. HORNE applied to have a person, named
Richard Snoard, whose name appeared upon the
calendar .as charged with forgery, called upon to ap-
pear in discharge of his recognisances.
The circumstances connected with this case are of
rather an extraordinary character. The accused is
represented to be a man of very considerable pro-
perty, and the offence with which he is charged was
alleged to have been committed upwards of four years
ago, and the indictment has during all that period
been upon the files of the Court, but has been post-
poned under various pretexts until the present time.
The accused was admitted to bail in the sum of I ,000 L.
to appear and answer the charge, and in his failing to
do so, the recognisances he had entered into were
estreated, and the amount was eventually paid into
the Exchequer. The defendant was afterwards taken,
and was again admitted to bail, and the trial was to
have taken place at the last Summer Assizes • but
upon the application of the counsel for the defendant,
it was again postponed, and the indictment now once
more came before the court.

The defendant was called upon to appear, but did
not do so.

Mr. lIonNE Ulm applied to have the recognisance*
estreated. He sail the case had now been standing
over for several years, and it was very hard upon the
prosecutors that they should be trifled with in this
manner. Ile trusted, therefore, that the Court would
either insist upon the defendant appearing and taking
his trial, er else estreat the recognisances.
Mr. Justice WIELIAms said that if the party did
not appear in pursuance of his recognisancea, they
would, of course, be estreated.

Mr. BODKIN shortly afterward& said that he and
Mr. Clarkson were instructed to defend the accused,
and he was in attendance in the Court, but was not
prepared at that moment to take his trial, but he would
be ready to do so, if time was afforded him to obtain
the attendance of some material witnesses.
Mr. Justice WiLLIAms said the trial must come on
in its turn during the assizes, or else the recognisances
would be estreated.

TILE Foa.—The effect of the very dense fog which
invested the eastern extremities and suburbs of the
metropolis, yesterday, was very singular in par-
ticular localities. From Leadenball,street to the foot
of Cornhill, about a quarter to eleven o'clo:,k, the
atmosphere was more strangely discoloured than we
can remember to have ever seen it. All objects ap-
peared to be viewed through that indescribable gloom
which attends a total eclipse of the sun. A deep
copper, or maroon colour, invested every visible build-
ing; the sun showed like a red, but opaque disc ; and
the dimly developed outlines of the figures moving
about the crowded quarter in question reminded us of
the aspect of a closing tableau to some startling spec-
tacle of diablerie at the theatres. The tower of the
Exchange was invisible on the other side of Cornhill,
and the whole of the massive fabric was wrapped at
the early hour in a sombre shadow, unlike that of
twilight, evening, or night. This strange mantle
was so partially spread, however, that it did not at,-
pear from the Poultry, westward. On Cornhill it
was distressing to observe the effect of " the palpable
obscure" through which they were passing, on
viduals affected with pulmonary complaints ; and the
eyes of everybody who happened to be exposed to it
were, for the time, most painfully disordered.
