deemed before dinner on the,lBth of March, at about one
o'clock.
William Harzlitnan depoied that he was a porter in the
warehause of Messrs. Smith and Lapouli in St. Paul's
Churchyard. He was directed by :Mr. Clarke to go
to the, West! end with a parceron the 'lBth March ; this
was about a quarter past one o'clock. The prisoner
gave him a shilling for his dinner.
Cross-examined by Mr. Payne.—lt was a very
unusual thing to have money given to him for his dinner.
Never recollects it to have been done before.
Re-examined.—The fact of having the shilling given
him impressed the time upon his memory.
George Grey, another porter in the establishment of
Messrs. Smith and Lapouli, on the 18th March, at one
o'clock in the day, he was going to dinner when he was
called back by Mr. Clarke. He had to take some goods
out, and by the time they were packed up it was half-
past one. He went out, and did not return till five
o'clock.

Mr. Marks deposed that he entered certain goods on
the 18th of March, which goods were sent out abont one
o'clock. The younger prisoner called the goods out, and
he (the witness) entered them. The prisoner could not
have gone on that day to High Holborn without witness
missing him. Witness was in the warehouse from nine
o'clock in the morning till night.
Thomas Cooke deposed that he was a tailor. On the
16th of last March he was in the Fleet Prison. Knew
the elder prisoner Clarke. Knew a clergyman of the
name of Clarke, from whom the witness received an
order to make a coat. A conversation ensued in the
room of the prisoner as to the style of the coat. A coat
was produced by the prisoner's step-son. It was the
sume coat as that produced by a former witness. It was
the property of the prisoner. The coat that was ordered
by Mr. Clarke, the clergyman, was to be made in the
same style. Witness did not make the coat to order, the
order having been countermanded. The coat was ordered
as the clergyman was to be liberated in a few days, when
he had to give evidence before a Committee of the House
of Commons. He was liberated a few day afterwards.
Jame° Clarke deposed that he was a private gentleman.
Mr. BODKIN—Are you in the Church ? Witness
Yes ; I was brought up to the Church, but never ordained.
He was in the Fleet ott the 16th of March. He is still
there, and was brought up by habeas carpus. He cor-
roborated the last witness.

Alexander3M'Donald, the step-son of the elder pri-
soner, who lived with his sisters, corroborated the state-
ment of tho Witness Cooke.

Wm. French and *John Cooke, prisoners -in the Fleet,
also corroborated this evidence,
Mr. William Smith, of the firm of Smith and Lapouli,
gave the younger prisoner an excellent character. The
wife of the elder prisoner was the widow of a general
officer. Her daughters lived at Walworth on their pro-
perty. Several large sums had passed through the hands
of witness's father.

This being he case for the defence,
Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury upon it. and
the Learned Recorder having summed up the evidence,
the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against both
prisoners. The trial lasted upwards of nine hours, and
did not terminate till half-past six o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

_ .
Joseph Pittott, the driver of the cab, No. 2,015, was
committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal
Court, for stealing a purse containing two sovereigns and
three shillings, the property of Mrs. Dorothy, Elizabeth
Edwards, of No. 35, Bedford-road, Queen's-square. It
appeared that on Thursday last, the prosecutrix and
another lady were driven by the prisoner in his cab, to
the exhibition of paintings in water colours, in Pall
Mall, and that in alighting the prosecutrix accidentally
dropped her purse, and passed on without missing it ;
the prisoner was then seen to pick it up, and, jumping
into his box, drove off as fast as he could. He was,
however, traced, from the description given of him
by police constable, No. 174 of the G division, who ap-
prehended him yesterday morning at his lodgings in
Little Guildford-street, Rassell-square. The prisoner
denied all knowledge whatever of the purse.
Mary Ann Carnell, a young woman of respectable
appearance, was charged with robbing her master.
Mr. Aaron Henry Hart, of No. 356, Oxford-street,
cubinet maker and upholsterer, stated that the prisoner
had been but a few days in his service. On Sunday
Mrs. Hart missed a pair of silk stockings, and yesterday
morning saw that the prisoner bad got them on her feet.
She was taxed with the fact, but persisting in asserting
that they were her own, she was given in charge to the
police, and, on searching her box, a bottle of brandy,
which, by some means she had contrived to extract from
a beaufet in the drawing-room, which was kept locked,
was found.

The prisoner begged to be forgiven, as she said it was
her first offence.

She was remanded until Monday next, in order to give
time for Mr. Hart to ascertain if any other property was
missing.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Robert Peck, alias "long Bob," an athletic and deter-
mined young looking fellow, who stated himself to be a
costermonger, was charged with having taken an active
part in a desperate affray with the police, wherein James
Carro], police constable, H 160, received such injuries as
caused his death.
.a
Several policeman of the H diviston were examined,
from whose evidence it appeared, that the deceased con-
stable had taken a drunken man into custody, in Church-
street, Shoreditch, at two o'clock on the morning, of the
23d of September last, when he was assailed, and
severely beaten by a mob of costermongers, and other
low characters, who succeeded in rescuing the prisoner.
Several other officers who came to his assistance, were ..-
riou3ly inulcreated, ana the constable Carrot, whose skull
was fractured, was removed to the London Hospital, where
he died five days after the affair. The police were
unable to secure more than one of thrir assailants, a
man named Thomas Smedly, who wrs committed from
this Court, and tried at the Old Bailey for the murder of
the policeman; but he was,found guilty of au assault only,
and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. All the
other rioters had since eluded justice, but on Saturday
last, the prisoner, Peck, was taken into custody at Green-
wich on a charge of drunkenness, and being recognised
by policeman R 157, as one of the gang who assaulted
the deceased constable, Carrot. Mr. Jeremy, the magis-
trate, ordered him to be conveyed in custody to this
Court.

Police constables, Townshend and Phelan, of the H
division, identified the prisoner as having taken an active
part in exciting the mob to resist the police on the oc-
casion in question, but neither of them saw him commit
any actual violence.
sergeant Teakles stated that he attended the Coroner's
Inquest that was held on the body of the unfortunate
policeman, and that two witnesses then deposed to the
fact of the deceased having been kicked and struck by
the prisoner, but they were not at present in attendance.
In consequence of the evidence they gave he was desired
by Mr. Baker, the Coroner, to use his best exertions to
apprehend the prisoner, who had kept out of the way
ever since.

Police constable R 157, stated that on being taken
before Mr. Jeremy, the prisoner admitted having been
present during the affray, but denied that he took part
in it.

Ulm being asked by Mr. BROUGHTON if he wished
to now to say anything, the prisoner declined doing so.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that he should remand the pri-
soner upon the charge, and he directed Segeant Teakles
to secure the attendance of all the necessary witnesses at
the next examination.

The prisoner was remanded until Saturday next.
CROYDON POLICE.

SINGULAR DELUSION.—Two gentlemen living at Mit-
cham, waited upon Messrs. Reid, Adams, and Currie, the
presiding Magistrates, to apply for the order of the bench,
to admit a lunatic into the Surrey Lunatic Asylum. A
third person also accompanied them, and appeared to be
deeply interested in the application.
The applicants' said that the person whom they wished
to get into the Asylum, was decidedly insane, and they
considered it necessary that he should' be placed under
restriction. At the same time, his frien-ls did not desire
that he should be a burden to the establishment, but
they were willing•to pay for his maintainence.
The BENCH asked if the alleged lunatic was at present
chargeable to the parish ?
The applicants said he was not, and the Magistrates
upon this, said they did not think they had the power to
grant .the application.
Upon hearing this, the person who had accompanied
the two gentlemen who made the application, interfered,
and with great earnestness said, he had filled the offices
of overseer and churchwarden, and he assured the Bench
that the man was insane, and that he ought to be taken
care of.

The Magistrates having inquired who the individual
was who had just addressed them, were told that he was
the lunatic, but that he was under the extraordinary de-
lusion that he was another person, and that he had come
with them to apply for the order of admission of some
other party whom he believed to be insane.
The person referred to, hearing the Magistrates hold-
ing communication with the others, again addressed
them, and said that they might take his word, the
.poor
man was

The CHAIRMAN asked him in what stock his money
was invested, and he replied in the 31 per cents., but he
added that this lad nothing to do with his application,
which was to get an insane person into a Lunatic
Asylum.
The BENCH having remarked among themselves upon
the singularity of the delusion of the lunatic, said that
they could not grant the application, and that it must be
made in proper form through the parish officers.
The lunatic appeared very angry at the decision of the
Bench, and he took the arm of his companion and walked
out of the Court, saying, as he went down the stairs,tha
he thought it was a great pity the Bench had not granted
the application, for the poor man might come to some
harm if he was not placed under restraint.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—After the performance
of Lucrezia Borgia on Saturday night, Mdlle. Cerito
made her first appearance this season in last year's ballet
of L'Eleve d' Amour. Her figurante groupings with
Perrot are uncommonly graceful, and two of her more
animated
Pas drew down great applause, and the lat-
ter of them a vehement encore. This divertissement she
has altered herself, and it first proved successful at
Vienna, so that she is both the ballet composer, and its
bril.hant. danseuse. The Queen Dowager, and other dis-
tistinguished personages were present.

THE FIRE AT HAMBUEGH.

MEETING OF THE BRITISH RESIDENTS.
The Neptune, Captain Whittingham, arrived at the
Custom-house, from Harnburgh, at half-past three o'clock
this morning, having accomplished her passage in forty-
seven hours. We are happy to learn that the city was
in a state of comparative quietude on Friday last, for
the first time since the fire ; on that day the merchants
of the city were enabled again to meet within the walls
of their own Exchange, a pathway having been opened to
it with great labour and difficulty, in consequence of the
immense mass of ruins that surrounded it. The assem-
blage of mercantile persons was exceedingly large.
Confidence was nut so much shaken as was appre-
hended, and bills were freely discounted at four per cent.
Sanguine hopes are entertained that the various in-
surance companies will meet at least the greatest part of
the losses sustained.

The bank is continuing its usual operations, and gave
notice on the 13th instant that it will again receive bars
in silver under the new exchange, and that in conse-
quence of a desire expressed by many, specie of Prussia,
Holstein, Denmark, Sweden, &c., may be deposited, and
advances had thereupon.
The New Hamburgh Zeitung of the 13th instant states
that the losses are computed as follows :—" 30,000,000
of dollars for goods burned in the warehouses ;
20,000,000 dollars for furniture and other valuables in
warehouses ; and this is independent of the value of
the houses destroyed, which are proposed to be re-built
by a State loan."
A general meeting of the British residents in Ham-
burgh and its vicinity was held on the 12th instant, at
her Britannic Majesty's Con3ulate, for the purpose of
preparing a petition to be presented to her Majesty, and
an appeal to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, through Colonel Hodges, her Majesty's Repre-
sentative at Hamburgh, praying that the British nation
would alleviate the general sufferings caused by the late
calamitous fire in that city. The meeting was very
numerously attended. Colonel Hodges in the chair.
The proceedings of the meeting were opened by Col.
Hodges, in the following words :
" The public, announcement of the object of this meet
ing renders it unnecessary for me to trespass at great
length upon your time ; but I think it my duty upon the
present melancholy occasion, when we are surrounded by
the most heartrending distress, caused by an awful visi-
tation of Divine Providence, by which a great portion of
this once flourishing city lies smouldering in ruins, to
testify, that throughout this melancholy and much to-be-
deplored event, I have received all the assistance whioh
the public authorities could give to render both the lives
and properties of British subjects secure. For had I ap-
plied to my own Government in. Downing-street, I could
not have met with a greater desire to support my wishes
than was displayed by the Senate.

It has L;eeisi my painful duty, through a long and
arduous military career, to witness distress and the
horrors of war in many and frightful forms, but I have
never witnessed a more distressing scene than that which
now presents itself to our view on all sides, where
30,000 individuals, who, but a few days since, were en-
joying the quiet of their homes, are now deprived of a
shelter for their heads, and only screened from the in-
clemency of the weather by the remnants of their fur-
niture along the sides of the roads, and in the neigh-
bouring fields.
" But, gentlemen, there is one feature connected with
this melancholy catastrophe, which I wish most earnestly
to explain to you before entering upon the more specific
object of this meeting. It is the foul and malignant accu-
sation which some evil-disposed persons attempted to fix
upon our ,fellow-countrymen, alleging that they were
firing the town. Though I have not had the good for-
tune to have been long known to you, let me neverthe-
less assure you, that the character and good name of one
and all of you is as dear to me as my own, for such a
slander would cast odium upon our common country. I
feel it but an act of justice to the Senate and authorities
of this city to state, that they were, and are, most
anxious to, discover and punish the authors of it. Un-
fortunately, it caused some Englishmen to be injured,
which I deeply deplore; but let me ask, what effect a
similar outcry would have produced had it been raised
in our own manufacturing districts in England against
any class, whether English or foreigners, under similar
circumstances. Would they have escaped popular
wrath ? I am not egotist enough to think so. How
then can we imagine that a ruined and houseless popula-
tion, labouring under the strongest feelings of excite-
ment, should be expected to act with all the moderation
of calmer moments. No lives were lost, and as I see
some of the greatest sufferers present, joining in this
appeal, I am glad to find that they, as true Englishmen,
can make just allowances for the excited feelings under
which they suffered.

" The Senate, finding that they had not competent per-
sons at their disposal to arrest the progress of the flames,
entrusted that arduous task to three British engineers,
Messrs. Lindley, Giles, and Thompson, by whose praise-
worthy exertions much good was effected ; and had they
been supported by the force placed at their disposal I
firmly believe that we should not at this moment have to
deplore so great a loss. I must not forget the services
of a gentleman now present, who, although a stranger,
passing through this town, I allude to Mr. Skinner, has
rendered most efficient service. Nor must I omit the
testimony of Mr. Frenkel, extracted from one of the
morning papers, in which he states that he was only
able to render essential service with the Hamburgh en-
gine by the help of the captains and crews of two Eng-
lish vessels—the Robert Raikes, John Rutherford master,
and his crew, and the Doncaster, Thomas Youle master,
and his crew.

" The. Government of Hamburgh are not unmindful of
those services, as I shall presently have occasion to show,
by reading to this meeting a communication which I
have only an hour since received from the Syndiek, and
Which will explain the feelings of the Senate and autho-
rities much better than I can do.
(Copy) "1141.MBIIIIGH, MAY 12.
" Sir,—Though unable to appreciate by any official
report the whole extent of the obligations under which
a considerable part of the city of Hamburgh has been
laid during the late awful event by the spirited exertions
of our countrymen, the Senate thinks it a sacred duty to
commemorate at this early period their names. By their
exertions, which ought to have commanded popular gra-
titude, Messrs. Lindley, Giles, and Thompson have in-
curred the persecution of a deluded mob. They have
been particularly pointed out to the Senate as the men
who assisted in planning with technical skill, and who,
without adequate means of execution, volunteered with
heroic intrepidity in carrying out a system of explosions,
though not equally effective in all, yet in some important
instances gloriously successful.
" I am authorised by the Senate to anticipate a public
testimonial to which they are so justly entitled by these
lines addressed to their country's representative. The
feelings of sympathy which unite the inhabitants of this
city and her Britannic Majesty's subjects will, I trust,
receive additional strength from a catastrophe to which
the exertions of Englishmen have sO much contributed
in assigning a limit, and which, not only from an intimate
connexion of interests, but from the nobler motives of
humanity, will, I have no doubt, be considered by the
commercial metropolis of the world as a domestic cala-
mity.—l have the honour to remain, with sincere regard,
Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) " K. SIEVEKING.
" Colonel Hodges, her Britannic Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires, &c.'

" This letter Speiiks for itself, and shows the kindly
feelings by which the authorities regard our countrymen.
" And now let me caution individuals against sending
home reports which can only tend to produce feelings
which no Englishman should cherish, and which I shall
contradict officially should such occur.
" The connexions between England and Hamburgh
have been of very long standing, and it has been con-
sidered a term of reproach in some quarters to call Ham-
bnrgh an English town, yet I have never heard of a
Hamburgher being ashamed of the appellation. And
when I see around me numbers of Englishmen whose
houses are still filled with the sufferers, I cannot but
feel proud to call them countrymen, and to hope that
such praiseworthy conduct will draw still closer the
bonds of amity and friendship which, as I have just said,
have so long existed between them.
"I now arrive at the object of the present meeting,
viz.—to join our efforts in a petition to her Most Excel-
lent Majesty the Queen, that her Majesty will be gra-
ciously pleased to sanction and approve an appeal to the
British nation, praying for assistance towards alleviating
the sufferings by which we are surrounded.
" Succour in money, clothing, and provisions has
already arrived from their Majesties the Kings of
Prussia, Denmark, and Hanover, as also from his Royal
Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin
and the Free Hanseatic cities of Bremen and Lubeck. I
feel assured that England will not be backward in sup-
porting this work of charity, but lend her aid to
succour this distressed city in her hour of misery.
I think I can answer for the willingness of her
Majesty's Government to render all the assistance
in their power in this work of benevolence ; and
I most sincerely hope and trust that our efforts
may prove successful, and that our country will,
with the aid of Divine Providence, be instrumental
in restoring this now ruined city to her former great-
ness, and that commerce, the foundation of England's
prosperity, may be again established, and prove a lasting
link of connexion between us.
"It was proposed by Mr. Parish, seconded by Mr.
Ramsden, and carried unanimously—That the follow-
ing address be presented to her Most Excellent Majesty
the Queen :

" TO HER MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY THE QUEEN.
" The humble Petition of the British Inhabitants
residing in Hamburgh and its Vicinity.
" May it please your Majesty,—
" We, your Majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects
most humbly and respectfully approach your throne,
through the medium of your Majesty's Charge d'Affaires
in this, city, and most respectfully submit the awful
visitation and calamity which it has pleased an all-wise
Providence to inflict upon us in common with the large
popu •
lati of this so lately flourishing and wealthy city,
on
for your Majesty's humane consideration.
" • We refrain from intruding painful and heartrend-
ing details, which must be grievous to your Majesty's
benevolent mind, knowing as we do that the facts have
been already furnished to your Majesty's Government by
your Majesty's Representative in this city.
" We have this day forwarded an address to our
fellow-countrymen, beseeching them to evince upon this
melancholy occasion their charitable sympathy with
misfortune—the purest and most prominent feature in
the English character, and to aid and alleviate the
misery of 30,000 of the inhabitants of this city, among
whom are some of our own poor countrymen, reduced by
this dreadful calamity to want and starvation.
." In making this humble appeal to your Majesty, we
most respectfully implore your Majesty to sanction and
encourage the object now sought for, and your Majesty's
petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
" Signed on belkalf of the meeting, .•
" CF. LLOYD HODGES, Chairman.'
[Here follows the names of the Committee.]
" It was proposed by Mr. Steer, seconded by Mr.
Swaine, and carried unanimously ;—That the following

appeal be made to the United Kingdoms of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland from the British residents in Hamhurgh
and its vie,nity.
" Fellow-countrymen,---With feelings of dismay we
announce to you the awful visitation with which it bus
pleased Divine Providence to afflict this once flourishing
and great commercial city, a quarter of which is now
reduced to ashes by a destructive fire. Fifteen hundred
houses, comprising the finest part of the city, are now
lying in ruins. The Almighty has not even spared his
own edifices, four of his temples, two of them the oldest
and most beautiful churches in Hamburgh, are totally
consumed.

" Thirty thousand of our fellow-inhabitantsare housc•
less. • Old age, women, and children, sheltering them-
selves under the remnant of their furniture, by the road-
sides, and in the neighbouring fields.
" Yet charity is not dormant, for not only ourselves
but the wealthy native inhabitants with the authorities
of the city, are straining every nerve and making every
effort to succour and comfort the destitute. Assistance
in money, clothing, and provisions, has arrived from
their Majesties the King of Prussia, Denmark, and
Hanover. The Representative Chambers of Hanover
have voted a grant. His Royal Highness the .Grand
Duke of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin, and the Hanse Towns
of Lubeck and Bremen have sent money and provisions ;
but, alas, how small in comparison to the wants is even
this supply.

"It is therefore with confidence that we make th";
appeal to you, our fellow-countrymen, feeling assured
that you will generously and promptly come forward to
ameliorate the distress of a city, which has been so long
and so closely allied to Great Britain by ties of mutual
interest ; and which in the hour of prosperity was so de-
servedly famed for charity and hospitality.
" We pray that the same all-wise Providence who has
seen fit to inflict this visitation upon us will bring relief
to the distress He has inflicted, by opening your hearts
to the appeal we now make, and finally that He may
ever shield and defend every part of our own beloved
country from a like fearful calamity.
" Signed on behalf of the Meeting,
"G. LLOYD HODGES, Chairman.' "
Colonel Hodges having been requested to forward the
address to her Majesty the Queen, and a copy of the
appeal to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
it was also resolved that a copy of the appeal to the
nation be forwarded to the leading journals in London ;
that it be signed by the Chairman and Committee, that
Colcnel Hodges' speech be printed and distributed, and
that a Committee should be formed for the disposal of
any money which might be sent from England.
Colonel Hodges, Messrs. Steer, Boyes, Swaine, Beckitt,
Rev. Dwar, J. Rheeder, Ross, Charles Parish, Jun.,
and J. C. Ramsden were elected to act as the managing
Committee,

The able and courteous conduct of Colonel Hodges
elicited the highest encomiums.
The King of Prussia, it is said, has contributed 25,000
dollars towards the relief of the sufferers of this city.
His Majesty has taken the utmost interest in their relief.
The King of Hanover has contributed 100,000 dollars
for a similar benevolent purpose.
The Prussian papers state that public prayers are offered,
and collections ordered to be made in all the churches in
Prussia for the relief of the sufferers of Hamburgh.

IMPORTANT MEETING AT MAN-
CHESTER of the ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, 10 O'CLOCK.
The meeting of the League, to consider and adopt a
plan for their future proceedings, has just terminated.
It was one of the largest meetings that we have had for
a long time. .Among the gentlemen present were Robt.
Hyde Greg, Esq., late. M.P. for Manchester, W. Rawson,
Esq., John Brooks, Esq., C. J. S. Walker, Esq., John
Bright, Esq., of Rochdale, Lawrence Heyworth, Esq.,
&c. R. H. GREG, Esq., was called to the chair ; and in
opening the proceedings, read the following important
letter from Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stockport:—
"London, May 10, 1842.
"My dear Sir.—Pray draw the attention of the mem-
bers of the League, at the special general meeting to-
morrow, to the discussion in the House of Commons
upon Mr. Roebuck's motion for a Select Committee to
inquire into the compromises that have taken place be-
fore the Election Committees. The few places named
in his motion are but samples of a wholesale traffic in
seats which has been going on beneath the roof of the
House of Commons, where boroughs have been transferred
from party to party without the slightest regard to the
principles of the constituencies, or the interests of the
people. In the debate that took place, the leading Mem-
bers on both sides of the House of Commons bore testi-
mony to the great bribery and corruption of the last
general election. The charges brought against the
present Parliament by Lord Palmerston and others, will
afford us and our friends this consolation at least—that
our efforts have not been frustrated by the will of the
electoral body (which would be a curious, if not an irre-
parable injury), but by the profligate practices of the
monopolists themselves. Thank God, we are now in a
fair way to drag to light the foul and atrocious
deeds by which this bread-taxing Parliament has been
brought together. If all that I hear be true of the
bribery, corruption, and intimidation, of the brutal vio-
lence, even to homicide, which are said to have distin-
guished the late general election beyond all that pre-
ceded it, then I have no hesitation in declaring that the
present House of Commons has no moral or Christian
title to the obedience of the people. A Parliament, if so
returned, is not the choice of a nation, but the repre-
sentative and offspring of its suborned vices. Let the
League be prepared to act upon the assurance that the
present House of Commons will not exist two years—it
is not in the course of nature that anything generated in
corruption should he long-lived.—Believe me, yours
faithfully, RICHARD C OBDE N.
" Geo. Wilson, Esq., Chairman of Council, A.C.L.L."
The reading of this letter was followed by loud cheers.
The Report, which appeared in The Sun of yesterday,
was then read by GEORGE WILSON, Esq.
Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, of Rochdale, then, in a length-
ened and eloquent speech, moved :—" That the Report
from the Council be received, approved, and adopted by
this meeting."

Mr. Alderman WALKER seconded the motion, and it
was carried unanimously,
Mr. GREG then stated, that he was obliged to leave the
chair in consequence of some pressing engagements.
Before retiring, he congratulated the League on the
progress they had made in enlightening the public mind
on the evils of the Corn-law monopoly, and their pro-
spects of their ultimately removing that iniquitous impost.
Mr. Wm. Rawson was then called to the chair, and
Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, of Liverpool, moved :
" That it be urged upon the Council to lose no time in
the completion of the division of the United Kingdom
into registration districts ; the location of the lecturers
of the League in such districts, and the enrolment of all
the friends of justice as members of the national body of
repealers."

Mr. THOMAS BAZLEY, jun., seconded the motion, and
it passed neat. dis.
Mr. Alderman BROOKS next addressed the meeting on
the necessity of obtaining the assistance of ministers of
religion in the agitation for a repeal of the food mono-
poly, and concluded by moving the following resolution :
" That the active and zealous co-operation of those mi-
nisters of religion who stand pledged to assist in obtain-
ing food for the famishing, as of all practical Christians,
loving justice and hating oppression, be most earnestly
besought in aid of such organization of the empire, as
shall hereafter facilitate the approach of the people to
the throne, and the full attainment of our righteous pur-
pose by legal and constitutional means."

The ReV. W. SLIUTTLENVORTH seconded the motion,
and it passed unanimously.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr.
William Evans, Mr. Henry Rawson, Mr. George Thomp-
son, and Mr. Richard Allen, of Dublin.
Mr. Alderman BROOKS was then called to the chair,
and thanks having been given to Mr. Rawson for pre-

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER..—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the pub is that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Biistol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de.
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottl s. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
i the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genu'ne. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met within tropical climates, and of the high
condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for
foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to
its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally
well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade
is an elegant preparation of more recent introduction, but from
its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into
extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most
agreeable flavour, and made of the best materials, without re-
gard to cost. Physicians and medical
i men constantly recom-
mend it in cases of fever, &c., nor sit less desirable as an
article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow
lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm.
Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German
Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs,
in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the
original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates ex-
ecuted on the shortest notice.

ROYAL ENGINEERS.—On Saturday a detachment
of the Royal Sappers and Miners embarked from her Majesty's
Royal Arsenal for Canada, to fill up the vacancies in the dif-
ferent companies on that station ; they consist of some of the
finest men in the service, and left their native shore amid the
hearty cheers of their comrades in arms.
The Neptune, Captain Whittingham, of Hamburgh,

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT

AT VERSAILLES

(From Gulignuio's Messenger of Saturday.) ...-
Yesterday the funeral mass ordered by the ArchbishcP
of Paris for tile repose of the souls of the victims in. the
late accident was celebrated in all the churches.
We learn that the unfortunate widow of Mr. Georg!,
the Enghshman, engineer of the railway, who lost his
life by the late terrific accident, has received a let"r
from the directors of the railroad, expressive of their
sympathy for her sad bereavement, and assuring her of
a provision for life—an act of prompt and generous hu-
manity which reflects the highest honour upon the
_par-
ties, and well merits general publicity.
Men under the superintendence of police-officers hale
been employed in sifting the ashes at Meudon, and every
article thus obtained is carefully preserved. The ape s'
tion has produced fragments of linen, laces, and other
parts of dresses, twenty gold rings, a considerable Toll. •
tity of money in silver and gold, and parts of watellesi
chains, and ornaments; gloves, canes, umbrellas, 814
various other things, which may, in many instances, u
recognised as having belonged to sufferers. A !regl
one gentleman has found among these relics a chainle
medallion which belonged to his young wife, to.wllcluel
has very recently been married. One of the chief co o
in the office of the Minister of the Finances has ascer-
tainedo the loss of a young person to whom he 4i
affianced, by seeing among these remnants the case o,f ,
0
watch he had presented to her. A mother has ttl.'„,
found the fragment of a box, and a ring belonging to lie
only daughter, who went on Sunday to Versailles In 0
her cousin, but neither of whom has returned or be
heard of. ~..al
One of the most afflicting results of the late rata,--0
accident is the case of M. Brioche, the merchant fres,
Nantes. He has lost both his legs and both his erla
and remains a mere trunk with the head upon it. „f
the endeavours to draw him out of the fire, the hec):.;11
the pole which was used caught him by the mouth, ,y-',l
wrs dreadfully lacerated. Nevertheless, he has recover
his senses, and his speech, and is able to give a reletl°ol
of the horrors he has undergone. He was accomPtSi.
by the nephew of M. Sicard, a merchant of the Rue : of
beautode, and a traveller of the house, who had arr"',o
only three days before from Nismes, both of whom "
by his side, but perished in the flames.
. In addition to the death of M. le Pontois, the Acb.cl;
cate, we have to announce that of his own brother'
~
merchant of Lorient, M. Lemarie, jun., and his nePhan
all of whom were together in the same wagg9ll';bo
perished in the flames. The only one of the pail', of
escaped was Mademoiselle Lepontois, fourteen Yenut
age. She was put out of the vehicle by some one, fel
whom she does not know. She was so much ilki;43,
that her life was despaired of, and it was not till 0 0,-
nesday evening that she was able to speak and give 544 i
account of the frightful scene. She still fancies her
surrounded by her lost relations. of
The announcement of the death of Mlle. Descotte9,o
the Theatre of the Folies-Dramatiques, was errol °
9° f
She returned from Versailles by the ten o'clock tray
the right bank.

THEATRICAL DISCLOSURESsp,
The following is an extract from the schedule of o;
C. Matthews, filed in the Insolvent Debtors Court '
week. 7ate
The debts in the aggregate, from December, 18_,,"0
set forth at 27,4991. 17s. 11d., of which he had rider
consideration for 26,200/. 2s. 11d. ; and the rew;"01,
relate to Madame Vestris. There is one debtor 0' 5„.7.,
and about 220 creditors. Property in jewellery'
amounting to 2002 has been given up ; and there„ce
considerable quantity of property mentioned in the 'OO
session of the proprietors of Covent Garden Theatre'd
are inserted as creditors for the sum of 6,1661. ; unoff
posite the claim is a long statement of eircunist ept.
connected with the undertaking of the establisi°o
The insolvency is attributed to several causes-40111,r
loss incurred at the Olympic, to the failure of the enit;ot'
ments in America, to the expense of the voyage 9"telo
fit of the insolvent and his wife, to the loss sustain, 01)
Covent Garden Theatre, to law expenses, and the °rot,
amount paid for "money accommodations" and intemve'
Some particulars are given of the trip in 1838 to `;,tilj
rice, showing that the whole amount received n 145
1,7501., and the expenses were considerable. An orid ,
may be formed of the extent of " law matters" h 1 boot
tioning, that 1,5001. have been already paid, an $
the
three thousand pounds'-worth of law is set forth in hil
shape of debts. The insolvent allowed Mrs. Matthew'
mother, 2001. a year, and his wife allowed her rn°l„-11
similsr sum. The schedule has been drawn ur
Messrs. Lewis, of Ely-place. Cofd
The statements detailing the speculations in. The
Garden Theatre present some striking featuretvivetfi
proprietors (Mr. Surman, Mr. C. Kemble, Mr. TT, for
and Captain John Forbes) are inserted as creditt'g to
the amount already stated. The theatre, accorucree'
the statement of Mr. Mathews, was taken with an de'
ment to pay a rental of 5,0001. to 7,000/. a year,
ducting 6ul. a week for himself and Madame Vestr:-000#
was rented three seasons. During the first season -A
was paid for rent ; the second season, 6,1501. ; an fr.to
third, 2,384/., independent of 7001. to be receive' f tIO
private boxes, and 1,400/. from the conductors °

CLAUDET'S PHOTOGRAPHIC, 71--CLA-
GUERREOTYPE PORTRAI l'S, are.tAken daily at
the ADELAIDE GALLERY, LOWTHER ARCADE, by
his New Patented Improved Process. The acknowledged su-
periority of Mr. CLAUDET'S PORTRAITS is due to the
surprising RAPIDITY of the PROCESS, which gives to
the Likeness the pleasing and unconstrained expression which
the Sitter can only assume during an INSTANTANEOUS
OPERATION—TO THE INTRODUCTION of BACK
GROUNDS (EXCLUSIVELY HIS OWN), representing
Landscapes, Interior of apartments, &c., which produces the
most PICTURESQUE EFFECT—and to the mode of durably
fixing the image, so that it cannot fade or change colour, or
be easily rubbed off.
_ _ .

Mr. t LAUDET has also a peculiar process by which Na.
tural Colours are imparted.

BIRKI3ECK TESTIMONIAL.
At a PUBLIC MEETING held in the Freemasons'
Hall, on MONDAY, the 25th April, to receive the REPORT
of the COMMITTEE on the best Means of Testifying the
PuUic Gratitude to Dr. BIRKBECK, for his Services in
Promoting the Education of the People, and especially of the
Working Classes,
LORD BROUGHAM, in the Chair, _ _ _

It was resolved,—That this Meeting approve and adopt the
Report of the Committee appointed on the 3d of August last,
and are of opinion that the most fitting method of testifying the
Public Gratitude to Dr. Birkbeck, is by founding in Univer-
sity College, London, a Professorship of Machinery and Manu-
factures, including the application of Chemi•try and other
branches of Natural Philosophy to the Arts ; that the Professor
be required to Lecture in the country during the College vaca-
tion, and that a Subscription be commenced for this purpose.
