COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESFONDENT.)
INFERNAL MactuNE.—The good folks of this town
have been most terribly frightened by the doings of
some fellow, who richly deserves to be whipped at the
cart's tail at the least. It appears that about twelve
o'clock on Wednesday night as Mr. Henry Ward was
returning home from his brother's, at Northwood
House, in the road leading to his own house (Debourne
Lodge), he saw something on fire on the pales which
were between him and Mr. David's house. He struck

it out, and on examination it proved to be a piece of
leaden pipe, about seven incises long and three-quarters
bore. One end turned down and closed, then charged
with powder and three leaden balls. A hole was bored
in the upper part of the barrel, and a piece of touch
paper attached, which being on fire caused the discovery.
It is supposed it would have burnt about ten minutes
longer. That this machine could, after being so left, be
expected to shoot any particular person is out of the
question. It was pointed in the direction of Mr. David's
bed-room window, but at some distance from it. At all
events, it was likely to greatly alarm the inmates. Mr.
Davids is universally respected, and the affair has been
magnified to a barrel of gunpowder, &c. The material,
as twine, paper &c., was of a particular kind, only used
in a particular branch of business, which led to a party
being suspected, who had before acquired an unenviable
notoriety for hoaxing the public, and the police have
been busily employed night and day since this intended
blaze off. The piece of lead pipe was quite new, and
aids the police in their endeavours to detect the parties.
The touch paper and even the wadding tell tales. The
poor devil has not even acquired any credit for ingenuity.
A schoolboy would have been ashamed of such a bun-
gling attempt on the life of a cock sparrow.

THE ANTI-LEAGUEItS.—At a meeting of the
Spald:ng Agricultural Association, held at that place on Tues-
day last, to get up an opposition to the League, the following
letter was rc!ad and adopted :—" To the flight Hon. Earl

THE WILLS' FORGERIES.

The following facts may be relied on respecting the
prisoner Fletcher, one of the persons in custody for
an alleged participation in the extensive forgeries and
fraudulent transfers, which have caused so extraor-
dinary a sensation :—Fletcher, some three years since,
carried on the business of a chemist and gruggist in
the London-road, nearly opposite the Philanthropic
Asylum. Thence he removed to Westmoreland-build-
ings, Southampton-street, Camberwell; and while there
purchased ground, and erected for himself a handsome
residence at the end of Brunswick-street, Wahvorth.
About 18 months since he married a young lady belong-
ing to a respectable family. She then resided at Peck-
ham, with a married sister named Panson, and as-
sisted in conducting a preparatory school. The
circumstances connected with the origin of the ac-
quaintance were somewhat ipeculiar. Fletcher first
saw the lady in an omnibus ; and struck with her.
person and manners, extended his journey to Peckham,
instead of terminating it at Camberwell. Having ascer-
tained by inquiry the lady's name and residence, he
called at her sister's house, obtained an interview,
made known the object of his visit, and, against the
wishes of her family, became the accepted suitor for her
hand. The now unhappy lady is on the eve of accouche-
meat, and is, we need hardly say, in the deepest afflic-
tion, caused • by the perilous position of her hus-
band. It is due to Fletcher to state that he
has taken measures to secure a provision for his
wife, and the child of which she is about to become
a mother, in the event of his being found guilty of the
serious charge of which he stands accused. Mr.
Bircham, the partner of Barber, another of the accused
parties, was in Court yesterday during the examination
before the Lord Mayor. It was stated by a gentleman
with whom we were in conversation, that Mr. Bircham
is extremely anxious for an immediate dissolution of
the partnership, to obtain which he paid Barber so large
a sum ; and that the latter requires two hundred
pounds, as a premium for dissolving the connexion.—

THE STATE TRIAL
The, proceedings An the Queen's- peno-1- drag
their slow length along," day by day,. without any
of those strange and startling disclosurfr,s-wbich were
confidently expected from the welipniniiry flourishes
of tin Attorney-General. This finiZe to " fright
the isle from its propriety,n-hy -alarming revelations
is not, however, in any degree attributable to her
Majesty's Irish Government, who are discovered to
have had a regularly organised corps of spies and
informers, shorthand-writers and policemen, in at-
tendance at the several meetings for months past.
But, however industrious these ingenious gentlemen,
it turns out that the sum total of their observations
amounts to nothing that can serve the purpose of the
prosecution. They have been one and all compelled
to admit that peace and order characterised the
the proceedings, and that these duties were power-
fully impressed upon the multitudes who attended,
by the Liberator and the other speakers.
We have anxiously sought in the Morning Herald
some explanation or defence of the rascality of its
proprietors, in hiring themselves out as the paid spies
of Government. For the honour of the press we
hoped that something could be advanced in the nature
of a palliation, but "grandmama" is silent under the
detection of her infamy.
That the constabulary evidence has signally broken
down, must be evident to anybody, who has waded
through the direct and cross-examinations of the
gentlemen "in coloured clothes" from. Stewart, of
Tullamore, to Despard, of Trim. With every dis-
position to see and hear the minutest word or incident
that could be construed unfavourably against the
popular leaders they have failed to establish a single
instance of violent speaking or conduct. Dublin Pilot.

LONDON:
SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 27, 1844.
___

The proceedings of the Irish State trials on
Thursday were of the most uninteresting de-
scription—necessary to the case for the Crown,
but exceedingly tedious to the portion of the
public that happened to be hearers. Not a
single witness was called throughout the day, which
Was occupied with the reading of articles and reports
of speeches from the Freeman and Pilot newspapers.
These documents ranged over the whole space of time
during which the monster meetings were held, and
the dinners by which those meetings were generally
succeeded. Many of them having been given in the
indictment, and again in the opening address of the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL, they have been, to a consider-
able extent, omitted in the report. The closing of the
case for the Crown only depends on the extent to which
these extracts and speeches may be read. There is
no wish on the part of the traversers to prolong the
proceedings needlessly; but their Counsel consider
it but fair, that if portions of speeches are
- picked out and read, as evidence against their
clients, they have a right to have other portions read
that may considerably alter or qualify the meaning
of the others, when taken by themselves. The prin-
cipal speeches that have been read by the Clerk of
the Crown are those at Mallow, Baltinglass, and
Tara. The interest of the proceedings will now
). scarcely revive till the speeches of the counsel for
the traversers commence.

THE STATE TRIALS.
ELEVENTH DAY.-BY EXPRESS

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.)
DUBLIN, FRIDAY, Jell. 26.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr.
M'DolvouGu applied on behalf of an officer of police,
named Cor.u.ouGH, stationed at Athlone, for a cri-
minal information against two persons, named JEssor
and O'BRIEN, for sending him a challenge, and
provoking him to commit a breach of the
peace. It appeared that COLCLOUGII called a
Mr. GARDINER, who was a friend of JESSOP, " a

five-shilling doctor and a Radical ;" and on being
called upon for an explanation, on the part of Mr.
GARDINER, he denied having used some of the ex-
pressions attributed to him. Upon this Mr. JEssop,
who conveyed the words to Mr. GARDINER, sent him
a challenge by Mr. O'BRIEN, which occasioned the
present application.
The Court granted a rule nisi. •
THE STATE TRIALS.

The foregoing case being disposed of, the Court
proceeded with the State trials. The business of the
day, like that of yesterday, consisted exclusively of
reports of meetings and articles from the Freeman's
Journal, the Pilot, and the Nation newspa-
pers. It was a dull, monotonous, and un-
interesting day's proceedings. Mr. VERNON of the
Stamp-office, and Mr. BOURNE, the Deputy Clerk of
the Crown, read alternately the various newspapers
pointed out to them. One of the papers handed in
was the Nation of the 11th of April, containing the
spirit-stirring ode, " The Memory of the Dead."

Mr. VERNON was directed to read the words of the
song, which he did in a very distinct and emphatic
manner. When he came to the concluding portion—
" But true men be you men
Like those of ninety-eight,"

he was observed to look very significantly at the jury.
which they will interpret for themselves.

Mr. Justice BURTON took his seat with his brother
Judges this morning, for the first time after his in-
disposition.
The reading of the documents having been con-
cluded, a policeman was called to prove the proceed-
ings of the Arbitration Court at Blackrock, and pre-
cisely.at a quarter past three o'clock the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL rose, and stated that the case for the Crown
had concluded.

After a short pause Mr. MOORE addressed the
Court, and begged an adjournment till to-morrow,
when Mr. SHELL will open on the part of the tra-
versers. The application was immediately granted,
and the Court rose.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(rao OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
INFERNAL MACIIINE.—The good folks of this town
have been most terribly frightened by the doings of
some fellow, who richly deserves to be whipped at the
cart's tail at the least. It appears that about twelve
o'clock on Wednesday night as Mr. Henry Ward was
returning home from his brother's, at Northwood
House, in the road leading to his own house (Debourne
Lodge), he saw something on fire on the pales which
were between him and Mr. David's house. He struck
it out, and on examination it proved to be a piece of
leaden pipe, about seven inches long and three-quarters
bore. One end turned down and closed, then charged
with powder and three leaden balls. A hole was bored
in the upper part of the barrel, and a piece of touch
paper attached, which being on fire caused the discovery.
It is supposed it would have burnt about ten minutes
longer. That this machine could, after being so left, be
expected to shoot any particular person is out of the
question. It was pointed in the direction of Mr. David's
bed-room window, but at some distance from it. At all
events, it was likely to greatly alarm the inmates. Mr.
Davids is universally respected, and the affair has been
magnified to a barrel of gunpowder, &e. The material,
as twine, paper &e., was of a particular kind, only, used
in a particular branch of business, which led to a party
being suspected, who had before acquired an unenviable
notoriety for hoaxing the public, and the police have
been busily employed night and day since this intended
blaze off. The piece of lead 'pipe was quite new, and
aids the police in their endeavours to detect the parties.
The touch paper and even the wadding tell tales. The
poor devil has not even acquired any credit for ingenuity.
A schoolboy would have been ashamed of such a bun-
gling attempt on the life of a cock sparrow.

Mr. Blunt said that if the proof was not sufficient, he had
enough witnesses to prove that the mortgage moneys had been
paid to the bankrupt.
Mr. Reece objected to the proof of a debt, if it were incurred
in the character of trustee, and not executor ; but if there were
to be a private investigation at the expense of the estate, he
would be satisfied.

The proof of the executors was then admitted de bane ease.
Mr. Palmer, in answer to the Commissioner, said that Mr.
Blair's 4,0001. was a sum which bad been invested on mort-
gage, which Mr. Bromley persuaded Mr. Blair to release, and
the money was left in the bankrupt's hands for investment,
which had not been done. This also was the case with all the
other debts he was about to prove.
The bankrupt, in reply to a question as to when he would be
able to give an explicit account to the assignee, said he had
been away from his office for six weeks, and his papers were in
confusion. He had given information to each individual cre-
ditor.

Mr. Reece said that, up to the present moment, neither the
official assignee nor the creditors had received any account
from the bankrupt:
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS observed that this arose, probably,
from the illness of the bankrupt.
Mr. Reece said it was only necessary to give to the official
assignee, in the gross, the information the bankrupt had given
individually to the creditors.
The bankrupt thought it would take a fortnight to complete
this full information. He handed in a list of all his books.
Messrs. klair's proofs were then admitted.
The proofs this day made amounted to 50,0001. ; the whole
debts of the estate being estimated at 120,000/.
Mr. John Br3mer, brother of the Archdeacon, and Mr.
Thomas Blair, were appointed assignees ; and Messrs. Pick-
ering, Smith, and Company were appointed solicitors to the
assignees.

others of a similar nature, it being a district Society, still
from the spirited manner in which it is supported by the
tradesmen and others in the immediate neighbourhood, and the
great care with which the funds are disbursed, reflects the
greatest credit upon all those who have taken an active part in
its management, and who interest themselves in carrying out
so laudable an object, which enables them to relieve the vistas
and distresses of their poor unfortunate fellow-creatures, who.
from illness or want of employment, may have fallen into

The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.
It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
-ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the werld.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
he no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.
