T |^> ra » .-0 n - Wednesday , about half-past one o clock , some boys who were fishing in the Serpentine river observed a body floating close to the iron raib at the east end . An alarm waa given at t&e Koyal Humane Society ' s house , and the body was instantly got on shore . It proved to be that of a gentleman about fifty-five years of age , verv stout . Dursvpwr ^ , -, I r ^ , ^^ > ESS - ~ ine Parliamentary . Report on

      nve leet ten inches high , the hair very thin at the iop , and of a sandy colour .. His clothes were nearly new , and of fashionable make , consisting of a light waistcoat and trousers , and Wellington boots . The body is thought to have been in the vratcr since fcuuda y , &s on that day a hat was found near the same spot , supposed to belong to the deceased . The only property found on him was a pair of silver spectacles , and a brass rirg , but no papers or letters likely to lead to the discovery of his friends . The body vas taken in a shell to the Halfway House , at -Kensington , in the hope it would be owned before the inquest .

      To Let . "—It is perfectly appalling to observe the vast number of uninhabited houses in Manchester . One gentleman alone has sustained a dimunition of his rental ( which 13 all derived from houses in towi . ) of no less than £ 1500 this last season , and all others are suffering in equal proportion . Workmen who tiaed to occupy each a cottage for their own family exclusively , are now compelled-io huddle three families in one cottage ; and vast numbers of houses of all kinds , from £ 150 rent down to £ 10 are also tenantless . The word "Apartment , " which is to be seen in so many windows , indicates , too clearly , that a host of lodgers have left town , tut have been deterred from returning ; and "the usual characters ^ - "To Let "— "To Let "—which present themselves at every turn—are by no means calculated to shorten the long and care-wom faces which are now to be seen ou the once busy and prosperous 'Change of Manchester .

      Extraobdixakt Case . —A petition presented to the House of Commons on Thursday , by Mr . Wakley , detailed the particulars of a most extraordinary case . According to the Btatemeht , a respectable surgeon , by name Thomas , was convicted of theft at the Surrey Sessions , in December last , and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour . Half the punishment drove the poor gentleman mad ; and he is noiv in the felons * wing of Bethlehem Hospital . There is evidence of the most complete and satisfactory nature that can be required to prove Thomas entirely innocent . The person who actually look away the articles of furniture which Tlionia ? was charged with stealing , but which he never could have touched , avows the fact , in a petition

      presented to the House of Commons on the 10 th of June last . This person is Mr . Cooke , a surgeon , living in St . Mary Axe , whose respectability , Dr . Billing , Dr . Frampton , and many other medical gentlemen attest . Mr . Cooko describes in the most minute manner how he came to obtain po ; session of the property in question : and , if his statement is correct , he also makes out a case of most culpable negligence , and most astounding obstinacy in cruel wrong , against the functionaries at the Home Office . The conduct ^ of Mr . Hedser , tho Surrey Sessions Chairman , is also seriously impngned . We hsv £ seen no reply to these statements ; but we aro certain that some explanation must be given , for a case which prima facie is so monstrous as to be almost incredible , cannot be permitted to rest in silence . — Spectator .

      Dreadfcl Conflict . —A severe conflict took place at Ghent , between some scavengers , a father and four sons , and the police . It apwars that a piece of jpround had been granted to them by the muueipslity for the purpose of their bnilding on it , but , instead of doing so , they had used it for storing the filth which they had collected from the streets . The grant was therefore taken away from them , and some masons having been sent to commence a building ordered by a new proprietor , to whom the « raiit had been transferred , the scavengers feEupon them , and u was found necessary to calTiu the-gendarmerie These also met with so determined a resistance , that

      they were compelled to obtain a reinforcement of troops of the line . The scavengers having barricadoed their house , to which they had retreated , three of them got upon the roof , and tore off . the bricks and tiles of the adjoining chimnies , which thcyiurled at the invaders . There being do other mode of compelling them to surrender , the troops , were ordered to load their muskets and take aim at them ; on seeing which they had the impudence to offer to capitulat « j _ on condition of receiving the honours of war ! This demand not being acceded to , they then capitulated unconditionally , and were immediately taken to

      prison-EFMCAct op Bleeding a Dead Max—At an inquest held on Tuesday ; before Mr . Carter , on the body of a man who bad died suddenly , a juror asked the surgeon if he had attempted to bleed the man . The surgeon said he did not , as he was quite dead . Juror—But surely you might have tried , to bleed him ; if you failed the case would be no worse ; you could not hurt the man if be was dead . Witness—Cenainlv not ; but it would have been useles ; ; , as the decea ? L-a was dead full ten minutes before I saw him . Juror—Why , Sir , I was dead , at least to all aj >]> earauce for a full hour ; but thesnr ^ iH . n who was called m trk-d to Llet-d me . ami sucivcilfi ]; aii'l here 1 am a living proof of the bem-fit * f using the lancet .

      energetic Magistrate , heading a troop of dragoons , and directing the dispersion of his half-starved neighbour ? , the weavers of Harpurhey and Middleton , met to petition for Parliamentary Reform . We beg leave to suggest to his Lordship a more effectual way of puttinjpaovrn discontent in his own neighbourhood . He has an income ample enough , s 4 ip-] K > sing " he relinquishes horse-racing and other still more expensive and less defensible amusements , not onlv toliveatlleatonas anobleman might beexpected to live , in tho exercise of plain old English hospitality , but to enable him to expend many thousands a-ytar in promoting- tho education and relieving the physical wants of the poor people who live iu closv proximity to his park walla . Let him try the

      ex-]> eriment but for one year , and he wiil do more t-o produce quiet than if " backed in his plan of coercion bv a thousand dragoons . His Lordship , however , would probably give the preference to the system of vigour which was acted upon from loll to 1821 , and more emphatically on the 16 th of August , 1819 , when a large asscmbla « -o of men , women , and children , peaceably me ? to petition for Parliamentary Reform , was dispersed at the point of the sword , before half a dozen words had been uttered from the hustings . A reuewal of the mode in which the -law was administered in those days might also be accept-I ablo to his Lordship . Old John Knight was

      senten-^ ced to one year ' s imprisonment on no other evidence-, than that he presided at a meeting on the outskirts i of which one man showed another a pistol . Henry i Hunt had two years aud a half ' s imprisoiiment i in llchester gaol , and on what evidence I Some t time before his arrival there had been a meeting on I White Moss , at which an amak-ur spy of the police I had been beaten . The object was to connect the i-Tcat I mooting at Manchester vmh that particular breach \ of the peace ; and this was effected by proof that when i tho people who accompanied Hunt on their way to 1 St . Peters 1 'icld came op }> osito the shop of the i said amateur , they stopped and groaned . On this I evidence Hunt w « found guilty and sentenced to

      CASE 01- IlOBEllTS , LATELY CONDEMNED TO BE HUM * FOR THE BIRMINGHAM RIOTS . (¦ Prom tlw Morning Herald of Monday . ) _ As an instance of tho danger to which tho lives of innocent men , when top poor to command tho attendance of witnesses on thoir belialfVare exposed when tried capitally for offence *) , " in times of great public excitement , we refer to tlio evidence , winch we publish to ; day , in auothor column , respecting tho caso of traucis Roberts . That person , our readers will recollect ,, was . o ; k :-of tho threomou convicted and sentenced to dwtli at Warwick , on the char « o of -hating-, begun to demolish a house , during tho late Chartist riots , at BirmiuKham . Our ' readors are also

      aware that thiH man , aud tho others convicted with him , were left for : execution , without hope of mercy ; and would . most probably , havq suffered , if public opinion had not so strongly declared itself against tho threatened hacrifico of blood for an otteuco against property , that Ministers -thought it expodieut to adviso tho Crown to extend its clemency to the convicts . ' •{ The : evidence , whiclrwo publish in tho shapo of a memorial to Lord John Russell , goes to . pr ' o-Vo- that tho solitary witness ( a policeinaii ) to tho vlentity of the prisoner ltoberts , was mistaken . The policeman swore that * ho saw a great numbof of persons shouting and throwing stones iu the Bull Ring , Birmiugham ^ about a ' quarter before ten o'clock on tho night in ( jucstion and that

      , tho prisoner was tlicro very busily eugaged . " : The evidouco is that of an alibi , which , on the tes-¦ nnjoiiy of several witnesses of reputable character , ftppcars . to be completely made out / the whole time of the prisoner being accounted for during the period Ttat the work of riot and deinolition In the Bull Ring was " going on . One passage of tho memorial ^ , will attord an cxplauatiou ¦ why that © vidonco was not given at tho trial . ;; " Thatjow memorialists , being all personally acquamted with the ytiBoner . are deeply impressed with an entire conviction 01 his innoconcb , and not huving been ablo to pffot any testimony in his behalf at the trial , m consequence first , of the prisoner ' s cxtrome poverty , wliich precluded the possibility of his getting up a 4 ofenceaudsocondlvof tbvir

" - ¦ ' , - A Learned jud gooncosaid , "I novorapproach a < most-iou of identity in a capital ea . cp witlvout fear and trcmbhn . r ; " and w-cll he ' might ' say-so , for the Jtijlicial annals of the country show that many fatal mistakes havo been made by . too ready credeuct ; given to iiiMiUicientcvidonco of -identity in cases of tuniult and , alarm , when the perceptions-of- men aro not so clear as on other occasion * . Besides-, poor people are . . ten afraid to givo . ovideiico for their poor neighbours in times , of terror ; ind disturbanvc , lest they should themselves fall into suspicion au . l danjrer .

      It will be recollected that tho men were committed for a misdemeanour , but ordered to bo put ou thoir trial for tljo capital felony b y Sir John Campbell . By that proceeding they lo . 4 their right of travtm '> to the hext'Assizi ' . s ~ aiid , ill prepared as tlicy were to defend themselves on a charge affecting tlieir lives , they had also the prejudicial effect of the public excitement to struggle against , which makes juries somctii ne * uiiroiiseiously accessory to tlie sVddnig'of innocent blood in tlio uaiuo of justice .
