COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held.
Mr. John Locke, who succeeded in the contest with
Sir Walter Riddell, for the Common Pleadership, vacant
by the promotion of Mr. Russell Gurney: as Queen's
Counsel, was sworn into office.

Alderman WOOD presented a petition from John
Fuller, barge-builder. The petition stated what ap •
peared to several members of the Court to be a very
bard case. The petitioner had contracted with the
Directors of the East and West India Docks to remove
the mud from the docks, and employed a person who
was fully qualified to carry the contract into execution ;
and whom he paid to the full extent. The men employed
by that individual, however, had, upon some occasions,
committed offences against the navigation, by throwing
part of the mud into the river, in direct opposition to his
expostulations. The City authorities had, notwith-
standing the fact that the petitioner had nothing what-
ever to do with the offences so described, and that he had
done all in his power to prevent the commission of them,
caused an information to be "laid against him, so that
after having lost nearly 1,0001. by the contract, he was
subjected to the additional punishment of a prosecution.
The prayer of the petition was, that the Court would be
pleased to order that the prosecution be abandoned.
The petition was immediately referred to a Com-
mittee.

The Court was then cleared of strangers, and a long
discussion took place, as our reporter was informed, upon
the subject of her Majesty's visit to Christ's Hospital,
which ended in the passing of a resolution, to the effect
that the Lord Mayor was at the head of all the hospitals
of the City of London.
The Court adjourned the moment the doors were
opened.

THE CASE THE BRAVE MAN
CARNIE, WHO SAVED A FELLOW-CREATURE'S
LIFE AT LEITH, WHO MUST HAVE PERISHED
BUT FOR HIS INTREPIDITY.

We copy a few introductory remarks which we find in the
Army and Navy Register of last Saturday, omitting the let-
ters to which they refer, because we have already had the gra-
tification of being first in the field to give them publicity. The
public, we lament to find, have responded in a very inade-
quate manner to this strong claim-51. only has been sub-
scribed, and Mr. Robins (whose perseverance is not yet sa-
tisfied) has, it should seem, been to the Directors of the
Royal Humane Society, and got from them a promise of the
humane Silver .Medal, which will be more highly
.prized by
Carnie than the poor little subscription about to be forwarded
to him :

" The following letters appeared in the Morning Post, of
Monday last, and we have great satisfaction in giving them
a place in our columns, as the first reflects great credit on
Mr. George Robins, the celebrated auctioneer, for the warm
interest he has taken in the cause of James Carnie ; and the
second contains the character of an excellent specimen of
that singular and clannish race known by the designation of
Newhaven fishermen, from the pen of their kind pastor, the
Rev. James Fairbairn, minister of Newhaven. The reason
advanced by the worthy clergyman to overcome the scruples
ofJames Carnie, and induce him to agree to accept a reward
for performing a good action, affords evidence that he is ad-
mirably adapted for the duty he has undertaken for the re-
ligious and moral welfare of the original class of society
amongst whom he is located. We trust the object so praise-
worthily entered upon from the best of motives by Mr.
George Robins, and so ably seconded by the Rev. James
Fairbairn, will be responded to on this side the Tweed, and
that a handsome sum will be raised to present a purse to
James Carnie, and some tangible memorial to descend as an
heirloom in his respected family. Those only who are ac-
quainted with the character of Newhaven fishermen, can
form any idea of the value of a gift to any of the members of
their body for a good action, and the veneration in which a
piece of silver plate, presented to one of them, would be held
by the whole patriarchal and interesting race--so well known
to all who have visited Edinburgh, the clean and picturesque
dress of their wives and daughters rendering them objects of
interest to strangers in the metropolis of Scotland."

P.S. We omit the letters, because we have already inserted
hem ten days since.

Mr. George Robins has at length taken the field,
and we suspect in right earnest, but he is too good a general
not to wait until the Messrs. Frost and Snow, with their
companion, the easterly winds, have taken their departure,
ere he lets them into "the Secrets of the Prison- lumse' "by
disclosing what he has in petto for them. He has not, how
ever, forgotten to remind the great capitalists of the memorable
declaration made last session, by Sir Robert Peel, to this
effect,—" I neither have, nor do I contemplate, any change what-
ever in the corn-laws." This is, indeed, a real comfort for
the agricultural world to repose on. It will be seen in his
introductory announcement, Mr. Robins has paid a neat and
well-turned compliment to Sir Robert, for having abandoned the
odious duty on auctions, and it appears to be a previllin;
opinion that the benefit will be an immediate re-action in
favour of land.
DREADFUL DEATH BY FIRE OF A FEMALE, 103
YEARS og AGE.—On Saturday morning, between twelve and
one o'clock, a female named Sarah Cox, who had arrived at
the age of 103 years, expired in St. George's Hospital under
the following distressing circumstrnces :—The deceased ie-
sided at Chapel-place, Brompton, and was in possession of a
small independence. Her daughter, who is upwards of 60
years of age, and who lived with her, had left home for the
purpose of obtaining her quarterly amount of income, when
the old woman, in reaching something from the mantelpiece,
fell over the guard in front of the fire and set herself in a
blaze, in which state she was found by her landlady; but
before the flames could be extinguished her clothes were con-
sumed, and her person frightfully scorched. She was con-
veyed to St. George's Hospital, where death terminated her
sufferings.
RAILWAY SPEED.—THE GREAT WESTERN RAlL-
wAy.—The quick trains commenced running on Monday on the Great
Western Railway. The journey from Exeter to London, 194 miles,
was performi,d in four hours and fifty-three minutes, up to the ticket
platform, and the passengers had alighted in the Paddington station
within the prescribed time of five hours. The down-train reached
Bristol, 118 i miles, ha less than three hours, aftu• stopping ten
minutes at Swindon, and calling at Didcot and Bath. The a tin-
ning time is calculated at fifty miles an hour. and we are informed
that the whole journey wax performed with ease and exactitude as
to time.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

CUTTER•MATCII.

This match, which has created considerable sensation in the
aquatic circles, has finally been settled to take place on Sa-
turday nest, and a number of gentlemen belonging to the
Royal Thames Yacht Club, the Arundel, Leander London
Amateur, and several other Clubs, have signified their inten-
tion of being present to witness the match in the cutters be-
longing to their respective clubs. The distance will be the
same as rowed by the Eton and Westminster scholars, from
Putney-bridge to Mortlake. The Oxford gentlemen have
had a very fine boat built by Mr. King, of Oxford ; and the
Messrs. Searle, of Stangate, have built a beautiful 8-oared
cutter, 55 feet in length, for the occasion, for the Cambridge
gentlemen. The following will be found a correct list of the

ANCIENT WROUGHT-IRON
WORK

In ancient works, such as hinges, locks, bolts, rivets,
railings, or screens, the greatest ingenuity to produce
beauty, in addition to skill to render the work sound and
fit for its purpose, is apparent. You see that the man
was an artist as well as a smith, that he understood the
material on which he was working, and knew how an
effect was to be obtained by it. The beauty of the
foliage in some works of the sixteenth century formed
out of thin iron plates, simply twisted up by a tool, is
marvellous. Tracery was produced by plates differently
pierced, laid one over the other, without any attempt at
disguise, and flat bars were rivetted together, and made
ornamental by the very rivets. These men, as we said
before, were artists as well as smiths : one of them, in-
deed, Quentin Matsys, shows himself so to the world in
another material; but his reputation as the worker of the
iron screen of King Edward the Fourth's tomb in St.
George's Chapel, at Windsor, is as great as it is for his
well-known picture of the Misers, at Windsor Castle.
That extraordinary piece of ironwork is now under
repair at Messrs. Bramah's, and must be considered one
of the finest specimens in the country, presenting
panelling and tracery, crockets, finials, and minute orna-
ments, wrought in the most perfect and artistical manner.
Inquiring of one of the firm whether he would be able
to produce a similar work, his reply was, " Certainly;
but not by contract, or under limitation of time:" and
these, there is no doubt, are the great bars against the
improvement of our own mechanics and artisans. The
master cannot afford to develop a man's ability; what he
is obliged to seek for is, the greatest quantity of work in
the smallest space of time: excellent work won't do;
work that will pass is all that he can hope to give.
And the result, as might have been expected, is a
lamentable decline in many of the constructive arts.—
The Builder.

Ps RATES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.—OSTEND,
MARCH s.—The Comete de Boninge, which arrived here
from Messina, 2d inst., was fired into by pirates, in three
lateen-rigged craft, in the Gutt, about fifteen miles off
Cape Santa Maria.
Lord Duncan had an interview with Sir Robert Peel on
Saturday.
Private letters have been received from India,
which, we regret to say, contain the melancholy intelligence
that the Bishop of Calcutta, the Rev. Dr. Wilson, was
suffering from severe indisposition : his medical ad-
visers had recommended a sea voyage as the best means
of restoring his health. His Lordship intended re-
turning to England immediately ; but, as he was at a dis-
tance of 800 miles up the country from Calcutta, it was ap-
prehended that this great distance would be almost too much
for him to accomplish without very great fatigue. It is now
thirteen years since his Lordship quitted his native country.
THE ALLEGED MURDER AT SALT-HlLL.—There is
a rumour in town that Mrs. Ashlee, the principal witness in
this case, is dead. We have not time to verify the matter
by making proper inquiry.
HARMONIC MEETINGS IN PUBLIC-HOUSES.--On
Saturday morning, at the meeting of magistrates for licensing
the public-houses, &c., in the parish of St. James, West-
minster, a complaint was made of the number of houses in
which harmonic meetings were held, with music and dancing,
the owners not being duly licensed, and that the inhabitants
of the different localities were greatly annoyed. The parish
magistrates cautioned the licensed victuallers that their
licences would be taken away where the law was infringed ;
besides which, the proprietors of all unlicensed places were
liable to a penalty of 1001., and all persons present were liable
to be taken into custody and imprisoned for three months.
In some cases the licenses were suspended, but will, in all
probability, be granted on the adjournment day.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.--Rear-Admiral Inglefield,
C. 8., is appointed Commander-in-Chief at the Brazils, now
detached from the command of the South African station.
The Rear-Admiral hoisted his flag this morning on board the
Eagle, 50, Captain G. Martin, C. 8., at Spithead, which ship
will convey him to the Brazils, and continue to carry his flag
until another ship is sent out from England for that purpose,
to be commanded by Captain Fitzgerald. Mr. Fegan is ap-
pointed secretary to the admiral. The Canopus, 84, has been
commissioned this week, at Plymouth, by Captain Moresby,
C.B.—Hampshire Telegraph.
DUTY oN CABLE YARNS.—A public meeting was
called for Saturday last, at the Hall of Commerce, to consider
the propriety of memorialising the Government against the
free importation of cable yarns. The hour appointed was
two o'clock, at which time between 15 and 20 persons had
assembled. A slight conversation took place, and the consi-
deration of the question was postponed. No day, however,
for the adjourned meeting was fixed.
LAUNCH OF THE LAHORE.—On Saturday the La-
hore, of Liverpool, was launced from the Ship-building yard of Mr.
Peter Cato, at the south-west corner of the Brunswick Dock. Her
length is 119 feet, her breadth 29 feet 6 inches, and her tonnage 575
tons. She will be commanded by Capt. Burt. Mr. Cato owns one
half and Capt. Burt the other half of this fine vessel, which is in-
tended for the East India and China trade. Miss Cato, the daughter
of Mr. Peter Cato, performed the operation of christening. The
launch was a capital one, and, after it had taken place about 100 of
the ladies and gentlemen present were entertained at a dijetine, over
which Mr. Peter Cato presided.—Liverpool Albion.
Earl Grey will complete his 81st year on Satur-
day next.
The last culprit executed at Newgate was Crouch,
for the murder of his wife in Little Marylebone-street, St. Marylebone,
who suffered on last Easter Monday, the day appointed this year for
the execution of James Tapping.
MR. BEULER'S ANNUAL EVENING ENTERTAIN-
NEXT.—Mr. Nattier on Monday gave his annual evening entertainment
at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, which was exceedingly
well attended. The concert went off with much eclat—the audience
appearing delighted with every piece said, sung, and played.
GENERAL SIR T. SAUMAREZ.—This officer died, at
his residence, at the Petit Marche, in the island of Guernsey, on the 4th
instant, in the 85th year of his age. Sir Thomas served in the first
American war, and was present at the several landings on Staten,
Long, and York Islands ; the battle on the 27th August, 1776, on
Long Island, capture of Forts Lee and Washington, battles of Brandy-
wine and Germanstown, at which last he received two balls in his
head. He proceeded to the West Indies in 1778, and was present at
the capture of St. Lucia, and the battle of the Vigie. He served on
board the Cornwall, in the action off Grenada, between Admiral
Byron and Count d'Estaignes, 6th July, 1779 ; also on board the Con-
queror, in the action between Admiral Parker and La Motte Picquet
in Fort Royal Bay, Martinique, 19th Dec., 1779 ; and in the succes-
sive actions between Rear-Admiral Rowley with the Comte de Gni-
chen, off Martinique, on the 17th April following.
COLLISION OFF DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.—Late on
Saturday night, as the Royal Adelaide steamship was proceeding on
her passage to Edinburgh, and when abreast of the dockyard, she ran
down the schooner Ann Guthrie, of Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, last
from Sligo, with a full cargo of pork, beef, and bacon, together with
a quantity of oats, for the London market. It was so dark at the
time (about eleven o'clock) that the schooner was not seen until the
collision became inevitable. She was struck on the beam with such
force that she was cut to the water's edge in an instant. The cap-
tain and crew of the Royal Adelaide rendered every assistance to the
schooner, and while in a sinking state towed her into shallow water
next the Isle of Dogs, where the master and crew were safely put on
shore. By the collision the Ann lost her foremast, her rigging was
cut to pieces, and her bulwarks stove in. Late last night she was
still under water, nothing but her mainmast and rigging being vi-
sible. Every attempt to weigh her during the day was made, but
without success. A considerable portion of her cargo has been da-
maged and rendered unsaleable

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—On Wednesday night two
officers of the 37th Regiment, quartered at Gosport, entered the
Royalty Theatre, Portsmouth, and amused themselves by throwing
at the actors and actresses rubbish with which they had provided
themselves, and by using improper language towards the female por-
tion of the corps dramatique. This conduct was quietly submitted to
by the members of the establishment until the termination of the
evening's entertainments, when the manager (Mr. Henry Reeves)
proceeded to the box occupied by the above officers, and having
called them out, took one of them by the nose and wrung it, and sa •
luted his seat of honour with three kicks, which well-merited chas-
tisement was not resented by the " men of war," who sneaked off
amid the jeers of the audience, then leaving the theatre. The gen-
tlemen, however, had made up their minds to be revenged upon the
Manager and his corps, for on the following night they came armed
with sticks and backed by upwards of a dozen of their " brothers in
arms" similarly provided, and waited in the lobby of the house for
the devoted manager until the close of the performance. To the
credit of the manager be it spoken, he came forth into the midst of
the "lice of battle," and presented himself to them, regardless of the
result. One of the officers thereupon, a Lieutenant of the 37th Regi-
ment, went up to Mr. Reeves, the manager, and, holding a stick close
to his face, said, " I should like to batter your head in," but the gallant
soldier abstained from this gratification, as did each of his com-
panions, and none had the courage to strike the manager, who had
pulled the nose of their comrade, and kicked him out of the house.
They, however, fell foul of the proprietor of the house (who was en-
deavouring to persuade them to keep the peace and leave quietly)
and struck him in the face, and also of a poor player, whom they
grossly assaulted. The result was that the police were called in, and
three of the most prominent in the fray were taken to the station-
house, where they gave their names as Augustus Charles Hobart, a
mate of the royal yacht; Herbert Russell Manners, Lieutenant of the
37th; and Ensign James Henry Wyatt, also of the 37th Regiment.
They were admitted to bail by the superintendent of police, and
warrants were issued to compel their attendance before the borough
magistrates on Saturday. In the meantime, however, Messrs. Wyatt
and Hobart succeeded in settling their respective cases with the corn•
plainants, but the manager (whose wife was most grossly insulted on
Wednesday night) indignantly spurned the offer of compromise, and
carried his case into Court. It occupied an hour and a half, but the
magistrates, having retired to deliberate upon their decision, returned
into Court, and said, " they had heard the evidence on both sides,
and having maturely considered the whole, had resolved on dismiso-
the case." We strongly recommend the case the magistrates have
thus dismissed to the Horse Guards for investigation.

DEATH FROM STARVATION.-HORRIBLB DESTI-
Tuvox.—On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Gell, at St.

James's Workhouse, Poland-street, on the body of Mary Ann Thomp-

son, aged 75. Mr. Frederick Tothill, surgeon, of Charles-street, St.
James's-square, said that, on Saturday afternoon last, he was called
to see the deceased, at her lodging, in Hopkins-street. He found her

lying upon an old mattress, covered with a few filthy rags, and in a
room almost destitute of furniture. She was quite dead, and appa-
rently had been so for eight or ten hours. His decided opinion was
that she died ttom want of the necessaries of life, viz., proper
and sufficient raiment and food. The room was in a most miserable
sta'e ; it was in a most filthy condition, and there was not the
slightest appearance of ordinary comfort. From some inquiries wit-
ness made, he learned that the deceased had been in the habit of
getting her living by begging at the door of a chapel in Warwick-
street, until she and other poor persons were driven away. The jury
returned a 'verdict of "Died from the want of the necessaries of life.
