their offers against Espagnolle, and the consequence was as above,
There was nothing particular in the betting about the other been
horses. Maria keeps her prominent station, but this did nut deter
several Gentlemen from backing some outsiders ; and here we nl ay
remark, that the odds betted against these outsiders, bnth to-du?
and for some time past, have been more liberal than we ever recut.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Last evening an Inquest was held in the Fleet Prison,
before Mr. SHILTON, on view of the body of John
Crane Carruthers, Esq. aged 82, who kad died of apo-
plezy in that place on Saturday morning last.
It was stated before the Jury, that the deceased, who
was a Gentleman of highly respectable connexions,bad
been a prisoner in the Fleet since January, 1817, in
consequence of having been involved in litigation re-
specting a sum of 5001. in dispute between him and his
uncle, a Colonel Smith. His long confinement preyed
upon his spirits, and being a man of warm temperament
and extremely sensitive, he occasionally laboured under
strong excitation of feeling. He had been particularly
in that state for two or dues days before his death, and
was heard several times to exclaim, “ Good Goa I am
Ito remain here for ever and rot ?" On Friday last,
between one and two o'clock, while Mr. G. Carruthers,
the brother of the deceased, and Dr. Bradley. were on a
visit to him in his room, he was seized with a fit, se.
companied witb strong convulsions. Mr. Batey, a sur-
geon, of Fleet-street, happened to be in the prison, and
be and Dr. Bradley administered proper remedies, and
he recovered. Un the evening of the same day, about
eight o'clock, Mr. Jennings, a fellow-prisoner, a surgeon
in the Navy, went to the apartment of the deceased to
see him, and found him lying on his bed in a state of
insensibility, and observed a strong convulsive action of
the limbs. Mr. Jennings opened a vein in the arm, and
took about eighteen ounces of blood. Other assistance
was called ia, and every remedy, was tried, but without
effect, and the unfortunate Gentleman expired about
four o'clock on Saturday morning. He was quite in-
sensible the whole of the rime. Mr. Batey and Mr.
Jennings both gave it as their opinion that the deceased
died of apoplexy brought on by long continued distress
of mind.
1, The Jag returned a verdict that the deceased died of apciplezy:

With silent awe T gaze upon thy bust.
Shakspeare ! and think not without starting tesrs—
Of my eventful way through many years,
Thus kneeling on the spot that bides thy dust !
For thou bast been, through that long pilgrimage,
In sunshine, or in gloom, from youth to age,
My heart's companion,—and I owe to thee.
Much that, through life, bath charmed or solaced me ;
Remembering most, the tenderness that Sird
My eyes with tears, and through my bosom thrill'd!
At thy creative, magic ;—o'er this stone
I bend and dream—not of youth's sunshine gone—
But of that sweetest music, which beguiled
My various journeys since I was a child,
Therefore I kneel, with homage, at thy bust,
Shakspeare ! and kiss the venerated dust !

CANTERBURY, Ocr. 19.

It has been well known to the inhabitants of this part
Of the county that a most formidable gang of smugglers
has long existed in the neighbourhood of Allington, and
It was generally supposed that the various gangs which
have so often put the Preventive men to defiance, were
organised and prepared for action at this spot. How-
ever, it is, we believe, for a time broken up, by the ap-
prehension of George Ransley, the Captain (is he was
called) of the gang, and some of his associates. On
Tuesday morning, between four and five o'clock, a body
of the Preventive Service, consisting of about 120 men
well ar-med, norched up from the coast to the heights'
of Allingoon, *here they surrounded the house of Ran-
sky, and took him, with seven others, into custody.—
They were marched away in the midst of the escort
(handcuffed) towards the coast.• The names of the pri-
soners, we bear, are—George Ransley, Gilliam, Wks,
two Doyleys, and the two nor,.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT, PROM A CORRESPONDENT.
A considerable party of armed seamen was landed
from two ♦essels in Dymchurch Bay, in the night of
Monday last, accompanied by their Officers; and (we
are informed,) a smuggler who had been previously
'taken by the Coast Blockade, and who has given im-
portant information relative to the fighting party, and
who, on several occasions, protected the running of
contraband articles on different parts of the coast of
this county and Susser. On proceeding to Allington,
Bilsington, and Ruckinge, they captured in his bed the
lamed Captain Bats, and seven others, whose residence
and persons ware pointed out by the informer, and im-
mediately conveyed the prisoners on board the vessels,
and proceeded to the Downs. The whole business was
Managed under the direction of Lieutenant S. Hellard,
R.N. and it is to be hoped may have a good effect in
preventing the outrages, and defiance of the law, which
the approach of winter caused the respectable part of
the community to apprehend. Many rewards, it is said,
have been offered by Government for their apprehension.

only article it contains of import ante : " Recent letters
from Odessa state, that the general opinion is in fa-

that it is certain that the Turkish Government does not

It appears that, notwithstanding the docnmfnt
which established the Grand Duke Ct nstantine's renun-
ciation, the Grand Duke Nicholas had the delicacy to
' cause him to be proclaimed Emperor. The Grani Duke
Constantine, on his part, not doubting but that that
document, being published on the announcelielt of
Alexandet's death, bad prevented his being proclaimed,
sendoff the Grand Duke with a paper c.tnfirmatory of the
document, and of his renunciation of the throne:

At Mittau, three days' journey from Warsaw,' and
two from Pt tersburgh, the Grand Duke Michael met the
courier who was the bearer of the news that Constantine
I. was proclaimed.
He then considered it proper to wait at Petersbursh
for dispatches from Constantine, posterior to his receipt
of the news cf his proclamation. This would cause a
delay of six or seven days.

We add the following extracts
AUGSBURG, Dn. 29.
RXTRACT OF A PRIVATZ LITTICO.

The Emperor Alexander had time before he died to
write a letter wi.h his own hand to his brother the
Grand Duke Constantine, containing various explana.
tions respecting his last will. It is said that thick the
letter which the Grand Duke Michael has taken in
person to S. Petersburgh, to deliver it to the Empress
Mother, as well as a letter from Constantine himself...—
We a•s extremely impatient for the publication of the
contents of these letters.

The journey to the Crimea made the Emperor Alex-
ander acquainted with the little real progress that has
bten made by the new oolonies and the other establish-
ments formed by his orders. The vexation• which this
circumstance caused him, and his extreme. activity in
investigating the obstacles to the civilization of xt e
Crimea, had placed the Emperor in ' a state of mind
which contributed to aid the progress of his disorder.
The funds have expeiienced gicit fluctuations at
Frankfort and Vienna. It was said that Prince Met-
ternich was extremely uneasy at receiving no comnxi-
nication from the new Emperor Con..tantme ; that that
Prince was gone to Bessarabia to inspect the Army of
the South, and that that army had ent:eated him to
match to the aid of the'Greeks—a measure to which he
is supposed to be well. inclined. These apprehensions
have been in some measure allayed by the news which
has been circulated with a sort of emphasit, that Con-
stantine had_ written to the Emperor of Austria, '4 111
he would follow in every respect the last will of Alex-
ander 1." But these vague assurances, which at the
beginning of a reign would be only mere forms of eti-
quette. have not even been given since the news of the
abdication of this Ps ince was circulated ; but it is asked
whe her he has not rese ved fey himself, or for • ;he
Giaild Duke' Michael, the throne of Poland? All is
uncertainty and agi anion.

ALARMING FIRE.

Between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon,
a fire broke out in the engine house attached to the
extensive shot foundry of Messrs. Walker and Parker,
of the Commercial Brad, on the verge of the • river,
near Waterloo Bridge, late the firm of Messrs. Maltby
and Walker. The fire originated on the third floor,
and there being then a strong easterly wind, it speedily
found its way to the top, and at five o'clock it pre-
sented the appearance of a splendid beacon, the flames
shooting forth brilliantly from the windows on all
sides, and mounting far above the roof. Several engines
were speedily on the spot, but owing to the insulated
nature of the place, together with the immense height
of the building itself, they were unable to render any
effectual aid in arresting the progress of the destroying
element. From the constant falling of large flakes of
burning timber, considerable fears were entertained for
the safety of the surrounding premises, the extensive
deal yards of Messrs. Warburton and of Mr. Gabrielle,
lying contiguous, and others of less?r magnitude, being
also scattered in the vicinity. The conductors of the
several engines were consequently directed to their pre-
servation, and whilst those on land kept up a constant
discharge of water at one side, the Sun and Royal Es.
change floats, which at this time-were enabled to come
sufficiently close to act with effect by the flow of the
tide, materially assisted in preventing the further exten-
sion of a calamity so much dreaded, but these combined
efforts could not subdue the flames in the engine-house
itself, which Was nearly consumed at ten o'clock. There
is no means of accounting for the manner in which it
originated, as there had been no fires lighted in that
part of the concern since Tuesday evening. The pro-
perty, as we learnt, was insured to the amount of
11,0001. in the Norwich Union, and for the same sum
with the Alliance; at present it is impossible to calcu-
late the extent of the damage sustained. It was dis-
tinctly visible from all the bridges, from Surrey-street
in the Strand, and at every point attracted immense
crowds of spectators. Some fears were entertained for
the safety of the workmen employed in the foundry,
but fortunately no personal injury was sustained.

nutes at the end of the race. Waring won the race in the twenty-
fifth mile, when Mr. Clifton began to fail off in speed.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 5.

Since-last week, N. and N.W. winds have principally
prevailed. During the greater part of &today it blew
a violent gale from the S.E. and it was gratifying to
remark the ease and safety with which the several ships
in the Sound rode at their anchors, under the sheltering
influence of the Breakwater. Though on the outside
of the mole the sea was running mountains high, all
within was calm and secure. In fact, every storm that
visits our port brings fresh proof of the utility of this
grand national undertaking. On Tuesday the wind
shifted round to the East, from which quarter it con-
tinued to blow hard during that night. and the whole
of yesterday. While the storm prevailed on Sunday,
several sail of outward•bound merchantmen took shelter
in our harbour, where they still remain, waiting a mo.
deration of the present boiaerous weather.
The JAVA, 60 guns was commissioned on Sunday, by Lieut.
P. BAGWILL, Late of the CA/WILSON; Captain Josh Viscaes, is ap.

FIRS AT DRVONPORT.

Saturday evening the neighbourhood of Catherine-street Devon-
port, was thrown into a state of the utmost alarm, by a fire, which
broke out in that densely populated part of the town known by the
name of the. Cribs;" and which, at the outset, assumed a very
serious aspect. The lames were Ant perceived bursting through
the root of one of the houses, which, with the roofs and upper
stories of the two adjoining dwellings, were speedily in a blase.
The inhabitants of this district, who are almost exclusively of the
lower order of society, were seen hurrying to and fro anxiously
endeavouring to rescue their little property. Oswald man, a cripple,
was obliged to be let down from the window of his 'bombes by the
assistance of a rope and a ladder, his biddy infirmities not allowing
him to seek safety himself. The town engine aeon strived, and
being plentifully supplied with water, and aided by the activity of
'the firemen, with their hooks, the flames were get under without
any loss of life having occurred. A guard of twenty-four soldier*
belonging to the gad (or Cornwall Regiment) wag in attendance, to
prevent depredation. Great credit is due to the Commanding
Meer of the std, for allowing the instant attendance of the guard,
and to the men themselves, for their steady exertions to preserve
geed order. The cause of the fire has not transpired.

CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S EIPEDITION.-We have re-
ceived a letter from Churchill so late as the *ld ofl
August, which says that Captain FRANKLIN'S first party
passed a very pleasant winter; some of them at Carlton. 11
house, and others at Cumberland•house. About the
end of May, a day or two before the expedition was to
proceed on its course, one of the men (the carpenter it
is believed) broke his leg, which would prevent him
from going on with his companions this season. Capt.
raitusus, on his arrival in the country, went forward
through Lake Winnepeg to join the above divisios; and
it was supposed he would overtake them about the same
time they reached Athabasca.—Literary Gazette.
An Inquest was held yesterday at the White Hart, in
the Borough, on the body of W. Bayley. The deceased
was employed in the stables of Messrs. Mousey and Co.

from a horse.—Verdict accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M ANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday, Mr. Barnard Hodson, a printer, residing in Lillypot•
lane, appeared to answer to a charge of contumacy, preferred before
the Commissioners of the City Court of Requests. The defendant
came to the bar, disputing in a high tone with the Marshalman, to
whom he refused to give up the summons until he had said some.
thing about it. The. Lord Mayor ordered it to be taken from him.
The defendant—l have to say upon it, my Lord, that it sum-
monses me to attend here at eleven o'clock, at which hour I at-
tended, but the doors were not opened until twelve. Now, your
Lordship ought to know, as a man of business, that time is valuable.
The Loan Mims did not deign to notice the defendant's attack,
but proceeded to bear the evidence of the case. The Clerk of the
Court produced a certificate from the sitting Commissioners, de-
claring that the defendant had used opprobrious language in the
Court towards them.—Two witnesses spoke to the conduct of the
defendant as most insolent towards the Commissioners. He not
merely d—d them, but declared if they bad spoken of him out of
Court what they had spoken in Court, he would have pulled their
noses.—The defendant endeavoured to prove that d•—n was no
curse, but good dictionary phraseology, and as such should be
respected.
The LORD Mavoa told the defendant, that in manner as well as
statement he confirmed the charge of insolence. He fined him 201.
Defendant-1 refuse to pay it.
The LORD MAYOR—Then I commit you to prison for ten days.
This sentence somewhat surprised Mr. Hodgson, who was led
off by the Marslialmen, and deposited in the cage until the time
should come for removing bins with a string of other detenus as the
day's examinations might produce, none of them, perhaps, very
agreeable companions for a person like the defendant, wearing kid
gloves, to be " twisted in" with. After he had been caged about
two hours, his brother came, and begged that the detenu might be
permitted to apologise to the Commissioners.
The LORD MATOa said it was too late, but, having admonished
the offender on the government of his temper, remitted the penalty
of imprisonment.

THE LATE LADY NOEL.

The funeral of Lady Neel took place on Thursday night, by
torch-light, in the Church of Exton, Lincolnshire. The body bad
lain in state for the last three days, and the public Were admitted to
a view. The funeral decorations of the hall and church were of
the most magnificent description. An ante-chamber, the gallery
(one hundred feet long), the dining-room, and the spacious ball-
room, were hung and carpeted with black cloth, and lighted up
with about one hundred large sinutnbra lamps. The body, lay in
the ball-room, under a canopy of state. The coffin was covered
with rich crimson velvet and gold furniture. On the plate is
the following inscription t " Harriet, the second wife of Ste
Gerard Noel, Baronet, lineally descended by her father, the
Reverend Joseph Gill, from the Duke of Wharton. Born 24th
July, 1785 ; died 9th August, 1826; in the Aled year of her age."
This room was lighted by two immense chandeliers, each weighing
half a ton. 'They are the richest and most splendid things of the
kind we have seen. Each contains 2.0 sinumbra lamps, and the
massive burnished gold work of which they are composed contrasted
beautifully with the still light the lamps threw around. Behind the
canopy the-hatchment and banners were displayed, and the whole
produced much effect. The procession front the hall to the chiach
was a walking one, the tenantry bearing 100 lighted torches. In
the Church another canopy was erected ever the vault, and at that
part of the funeral service where the Clergyman consigns the dead
to the earth, the coffin was gradually lowered by means of concealed
machinery, to take its place amongst the ancestors of the house
of Noel. •

EFFECTS OF THZ DROUGHT.

Mr. SPENCE wished to call his Lordship's attention to
a case of great importance. In consequence of the late
drought, water had become very scarce in the country,
and in Lancashire every drop of water that could be
obtained had been drained off the lands by different
parties. The result had been great injury to a number
of works situated in that part of the country, and unless
an injunction to soy waste should be issued, those
works would be completely ruined. He wished to
know, therefore, from his Lordship, whether it would
be convenient for him to hear the cause any time
next week?

Tie LORD CDANCELLOR said,.there was no necessity
for asking leave to make such a motion. The Court of
Chancery was open at all time:. While travelling, he
had often heard, at inns on the road and also tot his
own country house, causes, from delaying which, dau-
er might have ensued : and it was his opinion that the
Chancellor or any other Judge, if come-at-able, was
bound vo hear such causes. This principle bad always
yovetned Vie Judges of that court in hearing motions to
Ica). waste. He had intended to sit from Tuesday to
Thursday during next week, but if the business could
not be got over by *fhursday, something must be done
vith the water on Friday.
