In our third page will be found an account of the death , and also a memoir of this distinguished statesman . It is impossible to exaggerate the feelings of profound emotion with which the mournful intelligence of the death of Sir Robert Peel ¦ was received on Wednesday in every circle of the metropolis . At first a feeling of incredulity was created by the startling intelligence ;
THE LATE SIR R . PEEL
but when this had been removed beyond all doubt , the next very natural desire was for more ample information than the suddennesB of the occurrence had hitherto admitted of . In order to satisfy this very natural anxiety , it will , perhaps , suffice if we embody the leading incidents connected with the calamit y in the subjoined narrative , the materials for which have been gathered fiom sources of unquestionable authenticity : .
Sir Robert Peel had called at Buckingham Palace and entered his name in her Majesty's visiting book only a few ininutesbefore the accident Proceeding up Constitution-hill , he lad arrived nearly opposite the wick gate leading into the Green-park , when he met Miss Ellis , one of Lady Dover ' s daughters , on horseback , attended by a groom . Sir Robert had icarcely changed salutes with this young lady , ¦ when his horse became slightly restiff , swerved towards the rails of the Green-park , and threw Sir Robert sideways on his left shoulder . Two gentlemen who were close to the spot ran forward and raised him , holding him m a sitting posture . Dr . Foucart was the third gentleman to render assistance . He saw the accident from a distance of 150
yards , and hastening forward reached the spot just as Sir Robert had been raised by the other two gentlemen . Sir Robert , on being raised , groaned very heavily , and in reply to Dr . Foucart ' s questions , as to whether he was much hurt , replied , "Yes—very much . " During the few moments which elapsed before a carriage was procured Sir Robert became unconscious , in which state he remained until after he had been assisted into the carriage . He then slightly revived , and , again in reuly to Dr . Foucart , said , " I feel better . " The
carnage was then ordered to drive slowly through the park to Whitehall-gardens , Sir Robert being supported by Dr . Foucart and the two gentlemen who had first raised him fiom the ground . They had not proceeded more than thirty yards when Sir James Clarke met the carriage , and , having heard of the accident , came up to see if he could render any assistance . Dr . Foucart requested Sir James to accompany Mm in the carriage to Whitehall , which Sir James consented to do . 3 h a few minutes after he had entered the
carnage Sir Robert became much excited , and endeavoured to raise himself up , which it was thought necessary to prevent . He then again sank into a state of half-unconsciousness , in which he remained until Ms arrival in "Whitehall-gardens , On being lifted ont of the carriage he revived , and walked , with , assistance , into the house On entering the mansion , Sir Robert was met by Lady Peel and the members of Ms family , who had beenawaitang 2 iis arrival in painful anxiety after having received intelligence of the accident . Lady Peel was overwhelmed with emotion , and -would have flung herself into her husband ' s arms had not Sir James Clarke and the other gentlemen in attendance removed her . The effect of the
meeting upon Sir Robert was extremely painful . He swooned in the arms of Dr . Foucart , and was placed upon a sofa in the nearest apartment ( the dining room ) . From this room Sir Robert was never removed , and so extremely sensitive to pain did he speedily become , that it iras only after considerable difficult y that he could be removed from the sofa to a patent hydraulic bed which disd been procured for bis use . Sir James Clarke having consulted with Lady Peel , it was arranged to send at once for Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr . Csesaz : Haw-Jrins . Dr . Seymour and Mi * . Hodgson , the family physkian and surgeon , were also sent for at the same time . Sir James Clarke and
Dr . Foucart remained in attendance until Mr . Shaw ( Sir Benjamin Brodie ' s assistant ) came , when the former left . At length Sir Benjamin arrived , and a -eoiisultatioa took place between the ax gentlemen whose ajfices are above given . A formidable difficulty presented itself at the very outset of the case , from the distressing fact that Sir Rebert ' s sufferings were so aeate that ho would not permit any minute . examination of his injuries to be made by the medieal men . The slightest touch in the vicinity of the injured parts gave him intense agony , and the only manner in "which he could be ireated under the
eiroumetauees was to assame that the comminuted fracture of the darkle { whieh was evident to the « ye , on the clothes being lemoved ) was the only « ne , and that fee ribs were uninjured . After the consultation it was determined to reduce this fracture , but owing to the extreme sensibility of the patient , the operation wa not completely performed , and , at the expiration of a few hours , the sufferer entreated that he might be released &om : fhe bandages , and they were accordingly taken o £
During Saturday evening Sir Robert was permitted to see Lad y Peel asd the members of his family % bat after this it was thought advisable to exclude all strangers fteoi the apartment , for fear of producing any additional excitement . Sir Robert passed a restless night on Saturday , his extreme sensijbsiity to touch increasing hourly , and Ms symptoms altogether becoming way alarming , which si first , we believe , some of the medical gentlemen in attendance did not consider them to l ) e . On Sunday evening , the pulse having increased from between eighty and ninety , at "which it was ranged after the accident , to upwards of 100 , ifc was deemed necesBarv to take
some blood , with a view of reducing the inflammation . Twenty leeches were accordingly applied to the left shoulder by Dr . Foucart , and a large quantity of blood was obtained ., 'There was no positive improvement in the condition of the patient from this operation ; and he continued in a very precarious state throughout the whole of Sunday and Monday . On Monday night the alarming symptoms were greatly increased . About seven o'clock Sir Robert become deletions , and attempted to raise himself up in bed . In this state he continued during the greater part of the night , and at intervals he became so much exhausted that his medical attendants
¦ were several times of opinion that he could not survive through the night . In the paroxsyms of his sufferings Sir Robert' sthoughts were with his oldest and dearest friends , and the names of Hardinge and Graham were frequently npon hia lips . At four o ' clock oa Tuesday morning Sir Robert fell into a sound sleep , in ¦ which he continued uninterruptedly until eight o ' clock . On awaking , his mind was quite composed , and his medical attendants considered Mm to be much refreshed by the rest he had enjoyed . There was still , however , cause . fer intense anxiety . From the psriod of the accident up to this time ( nearly seventy hours ) Sir Robert had taken no other
sustenance than a glass of champagne and the yolk of one egg beaten up , which he waB wduced with some difficulty to swallow . Medicine had been administered , as a matter of course , but throughout the same lengthened period the system had remained perfectly inactive . The pulsa had greatly increased on Tuesday , marking from 112 to 118 , and becoming very weak . At noon on Tuesday Sir Robert expressed himself to be a little easier . This relief , was , unhappily , of short duration . At two o ' clock far more dan . gerous symptoms than any which had yet been observed presented themselves . At' this -time Sir Robert began to ; breathe stertorously , and Ma senses again faUed him . He ceased

to answer any of th © questions addressed to Mm , and appeared to do sinking into a comatose state . Sir Benjamin Brodie was again sent for , and on- hie arrival agreed with Dr . Foucart , and the other medical gentlemen , I that the case now assumed a most dangeiou / aspect . The pulse had become very weak , and marked 118 . From two o ' clock to six o ' clock the change for the worse / was progressive , the pulse increasing to 130 , and
becoming gradually weaker . Stimulants were administered , but had-no apparent effect , and the stertorous breathing became more and more painful . The relatives were now informed that all the relief medical ssience could afford was exhausted , and that no hope whatever existed of Sir Robert Peel ' s life being prolonged for twenty-four hours . The Bishop of Gibraltar ( the Rev . Dr . Tomlinson ) , a very old friend of Sir Robert ' s , was now sent for to administer the last offices of the church . On
the arrival of the prelate it was intimated to Lady Peel and the members of the family , that they might now , without risk of increasing the dangerous condition of the patient , be admitted to the apartment in which he was lying . In a few moments the whole famil y were assembled in the presence of their beloved relative , whose exhausted condition at this time scarcely enabled him to ; recognize then * identity . ' .
It is not the province of the journalist to violate the sanctity of a scene like this , and therefore this portion of our narrative necessarily omits all matters of detail . It is sufficient to say that the lamented sufferer revived sufficiently during one period of the interview to identify the features of those beloved ones surrounding his couch—towards whom he at length extended his faltering hand , and , in an attitude bespeaking the intensity of his feelings , whispered in a scarcely audible voice —" God bless yon !"
At the termination of this distressing scene Lord Hardinge and Sir Jamrs Graham , who had been informed of the fatal result anticipated , were admitted to the presence of the patient , now rapidly sinking . Both gentlemen were painfully affected ; and well might Lord Hardinge remark , on leaving the room , that the contemplation of Ms beloved friend upon Ms dying couch had more unnerved him than all the dangers he had encountered on the plains of Moodkee and Sobraon .
At nine o ' clock Sir Robert had become so exhausted as to be callous to all external impressions . The members of Ms famil y still remained near him , with the exception of Lady Peel , whose painfully-excited feelings rendered it absolutely necessary to remove her from the apartment . The sufferer ' s strength was , however , so far exhausted that , although he gave occasional indications of being sensible of their presence , the power of utterance had altogether ceasefl , and it soon became evident that Ms end was rapidly approaching .
Sir Robert ceased to exist at nine minutes after eleven o ' clock . Those present at his decease were , his three brothers , flie Dean of Worcester , Colonel Peel , Mr . and Mrs . Lawrence Peel , three of his sons , Mr . F . Peel , M . P ., Captain W . Peel , R * K , and Mr . A . Peel ; his son-in-law , Lord Vflliers ; Lord Hardinge , Sir J . Graham , and the medical gentlemen in attendance . Sensibility to pain had ceased some time before death , and his last moments were not disturbed , by any phv-¦ ical suffering .
After death an examination of the body was , made , when a most important fact was , for ; the first time , discovered , viz ,, that the fifth ! rib on the left side was fractured . This was ; the Tegion where Sir Robert complained of suffering tne greatest pain , an 3 it was probably the seat ef the mortal injury , the broken rib pressing on the lung , and producing what is technically known as effusion and pulmonary engorgement .
The family were consulted on the subjects a post mortem examination , but both Mr . Erederick Peel and Captain Feebobjeeted to allow the remains to be disturbed in any way , and the precise cause of death will therefore never be ascertained . An application for permission to take a cast of the face , from an eminent sculptor , was also refused . Lady Peel continued throughout Tuesday in a state of complete prostration , and on Wednesday morning her illness had so much increased that it was found necessary to call in Sir Benjamin Brodie .
Several of the principal mercantile establishments ia the City , and at the West End , manifested their high respect for the lamented deceased , and then * regret at &is premature demise , by closing their windows—a proceeding almost universally adopted in the neighbourhood of Whitehall . The Sags of many vessels on the river , and also oh many public buildings , were hoisted half-mast high , as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased . The body was placed in a shell « n Wednesday evening , and the funeral will , it is expected , take place in the mausoleum of the family at Drayton , near Tamwotih , in the early part of the ensuing week .
The intelligence of the death of the hon baronet has produced a feeling of general re gect in all the provincial towns .

Witness ' s father came out , on heari ng such a volley of abuse levelled at his daughter , the consequence of which was that blows were exchanged between them , when witness ' s husband , Henry Gunning , came up , and asked prisoner the reason why he insulted his wife , whereupon prisoner's woman immediatel y pushed Gunning , and while he was staggering bach prisoner ran up and struck him a violent blow in the mouth , andnnother at the back or the ear , which knocked him down , and his head coming in contact with the kerb caused a very dangerous concussion of the brain , which left him b ^ n se s > Witness , thinking her husband was Ki . liea ° y the blow , interfered , when the woman seized hw by the hair of her head and held her

violence from the greengrocer ' s to the public house over tho way , a distance of about ten or twelve feet .

James Maurice Shipton , of Pucrnp Hall , near Tewkesbury , and one of the Directors of the Gloucestershire Banking Company , stated that on the 24 th of June he had occasion to go to the station at Tewkesbury , having in his pocket at the time a pocket-book containing a £ 50 bank note marked " B 111 , " that being the private mark of the Gloucestershire bank applied to that particular note ; the pocket book also contained a memorandum book , and several cards with the prosecutor ' s nane
and address on them . While at the station he noticed a great many loiterers about , sauntering up and down , and directly after leaving he missed his pock « M ) Ook . Ho immediately proceeded to the bank , and gave directions to the managing clerk to write to Messrs Bush and Mulling ,-the solicitors to the-Gloucestershire Banking Company , to stop pay . meat of the note at Messrs . Jones Lloyd ' s bank , witness identified the note produced as the same he had lost in the country , and stated that he had never seen the prisoner before . —Elizabeth Lipscombe said she was i n the service of Mr .-Devev wnhul , and that about one o ' clock on Friday , as she was coming down stairs , she saw the prisoner going out ol the street door , in company with

She could not describe ¦ t he young man s appearance , as she only caught a glimpse of him as they were going eut . —Remauded for further evidence . A Madman . —A young man , aged 20 , very respectably dressed , but who refused to give his name , was charged with making use . of seditious language at the Queen Victoria public-house in King-street , Smithfield . It was also mentioned in the charge that ho was supposed to be insane . — Police-constable Webb , of the detective force , said that from infownation he received he went to the Victoria public-house about two o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon , in the parlour of which ho saw
the prisoner , and asked whether he was the person who wished to see witness respecting a letter he then held in his hand . Prisoner said he was , and , turning to the landlord , asked him if he could be accommodated with a private room . Onbein " shown into a private room , prisoner said to witness I suppose you fenow the contents of the letter , " and on being aaswered in the affirmative , he asked witness if he was a determined Chartist . Being again answered in the affirmative , ho added , " 1 am a determined Chartist , and a physical force man . ' He then asked witness if he would assist mm to cany out a certain plan , and after explaining what it was , he said if witness did not do it he ( prisoner ) would , adding «< It can be easilv
done , and if you will not do ifc I am determined to get some one else . " Ho then again spoke of 7 ? LP . ' whlch is Iaid down in * letter produced : 29 th June , 185 O .-Sir ,-In Kensington-gardens of a Tutfsday and Friday evening , about six o ' clock , nearly the whole of the aristocracy in town are congregated to hear the band play . A great num . ber seat themselves under the trees near the band , bat a greater portion promenade upon the gravel walk . They are so crowded together that the dresses of the ladies , which are of the lighest materials , touch one another . Therefore if we could set fire to one of the girl ' s dresses the flame would immediately extend over the whole . The scheme is this : Go to the Gardens some very fine
Tuesday or Friday evening , and take with you a piece of paper steeped in turpentine , a few matches , and some cigars . Screw up one ond of the paper in the form of a cigar-light , light it with a match , and after lighting a cigar drop the blazing paper upon a muslin \ fress , which it will immediately set fire to . The girl would instantly rush into the crowd , and in the confusion all the people running together they would push the persons near the girl against her , and tho ladies' dresses being all in motion tho flames would rapidly extend to a great number . Tho people could not easily escape , as there are so mariy chairs and stools about they would fall over them , you could easily escape m tho confusion , and it would be advisable to turn penny-a-liner , and report the matter to tho
newspapers as an accident , for which you would get a good sum , and as it would allay any suspicion that might otherwise arise , you would have the satisfaction of grilling the greater portion of old Satan ' s representatives , besides saving him some trouble , by sending them to their final residence half roasted . If you could succeed in getting a light dress fairly on fire success would be almost certain , as persons on fire , especially ladfes , naturally rush to anybody near at hand . If you do not like this scheme I . am acquainted with some others , one of which is to set the Opera-house on fire on a grand night , in such a manner as to cut off tho retreat of the audienco but this would reouire thren m » fnm . nn . n . _
lours , &c ., A . B . Addressed to A determined Chartist . ' Witness then asked the prisoner if the foregoing was in his handwriting , and was answered that it was ; and on being further questioned as to whether he had any more such letters about him ho produced the following : — " June 29 , 1850 . — Sir , —Are you a determined Chartist ? If so , and . you would not mind risking your life in assistineyour party , I am acquainted with a Bcheme whereby you may do so , by settling the greater portion of tho aristocracy now in London . Although I do not belong to your party , yet the aristocracy have so misbehaved themselves to me that I should like to start 500 of them on their infernal journey . If you would not like to undertake the business yourself can you inform me of a nerson who would ?
I want a cool determined fellow who does not mind running some risk . —Yours , &c ., A . B . "—Prisoner : This is my writing-I admit it ; and the first letter is also my writing .-WitncBs further asked if he was determined to carry the plan into execution ; and he answered tha t ho certainly was , and if witness did not choose to do it he would go and get some Frenchmen who would do it in no time , and added that ho thought no moro of taking a man ' s life than ho did of spitting . Witness then took him into custody , and , on prisoner ' s name being demanded at the police station , he said he would rather be hung at Newgate thtin say who he was . On searching him a piece of pap , 3 r containing the following instructions was foum . ' in his pocket : — " Instructions to persons

The prisoner then said thafr . what he contemplated would be best ' known by tho perusal of the two first letter ' s , - which he .. handed to him . Witnoss treated him as aperson a Tttt ^ deranged , and left him with a friend of his . Hisfriolad took him to the . " Victoria , " and witness afterwards thinking that it would bo unsafe for such a person , if- deranged , to bo at liberty
, went and asked him for the first letter , which was given to him , and ho then gave information to the police . —The prisoner who , during thecxaminatioo , was smiling at everything that was said by the witnesses ,: when called on for his defence , handed in the following paper : — " July 3 , 1850 . —I merely explained how an unlawful act might be committsd , but did not incite the person to commit it , ami expressly stated I should not do it myself . Ihi is no'legal offence . To save trouble , I admit the papers are in my handwriting , but decline to ' state who I am . Should it be necessary to bear any punishment I am quite ready to do so , even to the sacrifice of my life upon political principles . "Mr . Alderman Finnis decided on remanding him in order to afford" Webb the officer time to learn more about him .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . - An Unnatdral Moihbr . —Mary Lee , a dress-maker , living at No . 5 , Sneyd s-gardensy' was brought before , Mr . Bingham , at the suit of the parish authorities of St . George , Ha ' nover-Bquarc , charged with havine neglected and cruelly ill-treated her child , aged three months . —Several persons gave evidence which fully substantiated the charge , and Lacy made a communication that appoared to create a sensationonallwho'heard it . He said that the prisoner s neighbours had told him that the prisoner had contrived to put away five or six children before by the same system of neglect and
illtreatment . Another week would no doubt have ended the miseries of this last child had not some kind-hearted people interfered . - ^ Mr . Bingham thought the best way would be for the prisoner and ber husband to pay 3 s , a week to the parish for the maintenance of the child . —The prisoner , ' who evidently exppcted a different kind of punishment , readily agreed to this , and began to whine about having back her dear infant . — Mr . Bingham thought the lesson she had received would induce her to reform her conduct and her habits . She must unilergo a probation of two months before he would listen to her application for the custody of her infant . ; '
MARYLEBONE—Two Gentlemen!—Two respeetably-dressed persons , who gave their names as Thomas Jones and John Smith ( no doubt fictitious , ) the former of whom told tho inspector on duty at the station-house that he lived at 120 , Queen . street , and the latter that his residence was at Si , Bcdfordpluce , were brought before Mr .

found the prisoner wandering about in a very wretched and disconsolate condition , and , aB she acknowledged that she was both homeless and destitute , 'he' conveyed her' to the station-house . Upon reaching there she waB placed in one of the cells , and remained perfectly quiet until about two o ' clock in the morning , when witness was hastily summoned by ttie resorve officer on duty , who had noticed something strange in her manner , and upon opening the cell door he found her sitting in one of the corners , tugging as hard as she could at the ends of a handkerchief , attached to two pieces of tape , whioh were secured so tightly round her neok as to leave no doubt of her intention to destroy herself . After cutting ' tho ligatures she slowly revived , and on asking her what she meant by such an act , she told him she was determined to put an end to herself at the first convenient opportunity . On that occasion
she was brought to this court for attempted suicide , and remanded by the magistrates for a week , at tho expiration of which she was liberated and received into a charitable institution in the neighbourhood , and he saw nothing more of her until the night of tbo 20 th of June , when he found her lying under ono of the railway arches at Hackney , and on rousing her up and inquiring why she was not in the institution , she replied that she had been ' subjected to ill usage by another of the inmates , and had run away' in consequence . At that time sho was again remanded for a week , when a gentleman named Tuoker , attached to the City Mission , attended and offered to procure her admission into another institution where ' she would he
properly protected , but she refused to avail herself of the opportunity . —Bennett , 152 N , stated j that shortly after the prisoner had been looked up on the last occasion referred to by the officer Francis , he heard a gurgling noise in tho cell where she was confined , and upon opening the door found her orouching down m the back part of the cell with her garters tied tightly round her throat . Sho had not at that time entirely lost her senses , and struggled violently to prevent his saving her life , but he succeeded with assistance in loosening the garters , and as soon aa he had done so she told him sharply to leave her alone , as he had no right to interfere with her . During the remainder of the night he continued to visit the cell at intervals of every ten
minutes , ana upon going there a few hours afterwards'he found her again lying at full length upon the floor , with her shawl wound , tightly round her neck , ' completely black in the face , and evidently in the agonies of strangulation . —She was upon this ocoasion again remanded by the magistrate , that he might have an opportunity of considering what course to adopt to insure her safety , and was transferred to the House of Detention in the prison van , with private injunctions to the van gaolers to watch her actions . This seemed scarcely necessary for the greater portion of the distance , as the prisoner remained perfectly tranquil ,-but upon opening the wioket of her compartment shortly before reaching the gaol the officer discovered her silentlv
strane-Img herself with a piece of green riband taken off her bonnet , and which was tied so firmly round her throat that it was necessary to cut it with a knife . —Alderman , the gaoler of the court , apprised tho magistrate that since the prisoner had been in his custody she had solemnly declared to him that it was her fixed determination to deprive herself of existence , and that all the precautions they took to prevent her were perfectly useless , as she would fulfil her intention the very first opportunity that ) resented itself . He had continaally kept a woman in the cell to watch her , but she obstinately refused to assign any reason for her extraordinary resolution . —A second gentleman belonging to the City Mission , who appeared to take creat interest in the
fate of the girl , and expressed his anxiety to procure her admission into another asylum , was now in attendance , but the magistrate thought it advisable to tako further time to determine what course he should pursue with a person who had manifested such a pertinacious determination to destroy herself , and tho prisoner , who remained obdurately silent , wan again remanded for a week .

grossly insult them . He went up to him and told him that unless he desisted he should be compelled to take him into custody . No sooner had ho done so than the prisoner turned round upon him and struck him a severe blow in the face , and attempted to kick him . He then took hold of him , for the purpose of conveying him to tho police station , When he Struggled violently , and attempted to get away . —Several persons came forward , 'and stated that the prisoner was extremely violent , and that ne used most disgusting language towards every iemale he met , and that the officer acted with great forbearance towards him . —Mr . A'Beckett fined him . « s ^ for . the assault , and in default of payment committed him for one month .

This was repeated several times , until the male prisoner came in , with his face begrimed with coal dust , and Mr .

Soon afterwards , and while talking to the women who wore constantly hanging about him , he put his hand into his waistcoat pocket and missed his purse , which contained five sovereigns .

. v NON-DELIVERT OF NEWSrlPEBS AND LETTERS ON Stjndat . —A , deputation of the proprietors and their representatives of the principal London weekly newspapers , waited on the Marquis of Clanricarde , Postmaster-General , at his residence , Carltonterrace , on Wednesday morning , in order to urge upon his lordship , and through him upon the government , the necessity for . the abrogation of the reeent post-office regulation , suspending tho delivery of letters and newspapers on Sundays . Col . Thompson , M . P . 7 had also an interview with the noble marquis for the same purpose . Mr . Serte addressed his lordstiio at some length , and explained the inconvenience which liaa arisen to the public-and the newspaper proprietors in
consequence of the new regulation . He was followed by several other gentlemen , wbo brought forward a variety of facts and arguments tending to show tho injury which had arisen to a variety of persons therefrom , and urging the government to use its influence to rescind it . His lordship , in reply , observed that his own sentiments on the subject were well known to the public . It had not been the wish of the government to pass the regulation , for every member of the government in the House of Commons had voted againBt the recent alteration at the Post-office . He believed a motion now stood for an early day in tho House of Commons for the house to reconsider its judgment , and he might say , all Her . Majesty ' s Ministers would be of
opinion , though he was not in a position to pledge bis colleagues , that the original rule should be reverted to . The deputation , after some further observations , thanked his lordship , and withdrew . ¦ Escape , and Recapture op Convicts , —Woolwich , July 3 , —About eight o ' clock this morning two convicts , one named Joseph Hindmarsh , aged 23 years , and the other John Griffiths , aged 21 years , obtained possession of a short ladder , and got upon the top of the dockyard wall at the west end , and , having thrown back their . coats and hats , dropped into tho lane leading to Charlton-pier . They were immediately pursued by the police , but succeeded in eluding them , and all traces were Iesfc ofthem for some time , although express was sent
to the various police stations and beats in th « neighbourhood . About half-past four o ' clock p . m . the convict Hindmavsh was brought to Woolwich Dockyard by an inspector and sergeant , of tho police , his capture having been effected in a singular manner . It appears the convicts had made their way so far into the country that they reached the farm of Claypits , in the parish of Lee , by the middle ofthe day , and while occupied in searching for a hiding place found the midday refreshment of three countrymen who were mowing hay on the farm . The convicts were not long in consuming the broad and cheese and drinking the beer , but that did not satisfy them , and they commenced dressing themselves in the clothes and sraockfrocka of the mowers . While thus engaged one of tho
mowers approached to refresh his thirst with beer , and seeing two men putting on the clothes of himself and the other mowers , called them to his as . sistanco to secure their property . The convicts would not give up the property , and the three mowers had a regular fight with them , the convicts resisting them most determinedly and actually putting large stones in their handkerchiefs and laying on the mowers mrst unmercifully . The mowers , being three to two . at last secured the convict Hindmarsh , and kept him until given into the custody of the police . The convict Griffiths , finding his as-Bociate overpowered , made his escape into a copse near the farm , and a strong force has been placed rouid it as a cordon to secure him should he attempt to co . r . e out .
Death op Mb . It . D . Browne , M . P . —It is with much regret we announce the demise of Mr . Robert Dillon Browne , M . P . for the county of Mayo , which took place on last Monday moyning , about ten o ' clock . . The hon gentleman was in the enjoy * ment of his usually excellent health until the Friday pre-yious , when premonitory symptoms of gout de «< veloped themselves . On that evening , contrary to the advice of his medical advisers , he attended in his place in the House of Commons for the purpose of recording his vote in favour of Lord Palmerston ' a foreign policy , and there is little doubt-that the excitement and exposure to cold necessarily consequent on that step tended to aggravate the illness with which he was threatened . On the following day he was seized with a violent attack of gout in the head , which terminated fatally , as already stated . Mr . Browne was aa accomplished classical
scholar and a very able speaker . As a popular orator he had few superiors , and , although he spoke but seldom in the House of Commons , he seldom failed to command attention and respect . Mr Biowne was first elected in 1836 , vice the Right Hon ! Dominick Browne , created Lord Oranmore , and during the long period that he represented hia native county , his votes were given undeviatingly in support of the principles of civil and religious freedom . For some time previous to his death he WHS busily engaged in assorting his claims to the dormant Irish peerage of Eoscommon . Mr . Bfowna was m the thirty-ninth year of his age . An Extbaobdinaby Cucclatob .. —In a report of the proceeding at a recent meeting of the members of the Institute of Actuaries , given in the Post Ma *
gaxine , the following account is furnished of a German , at present resident in London , whose calculating powers seem to outbid those of the'cele * briited Georgo Bidder : —The remainder of the evening was occupied by the appearance of a . German gentleman , named Daze , whose extraordinary talents for calculation , and the facility with whicnhe performs the most tedious arithmetical operations , and answers the questions with equal ease , either verbally or in writing , are so remarkable , aa to elicit the wonder and admiration of every one who sees or hears him . His answers are given with almoBt the same rapidity that the listener can writa down the result , allowing nothing for . the ' time spent in computing . The first Question asked him
was the product of a number , consisting of five figures , by another number of five'fi gures , and the correct answer [ was given almost instantaneously . His friend , who aoted as interpreter for him , stated that ho had the most singular power of telling at a glance a great number of objects thrown upon the table—as for instance , the total number of marks on dominoes , even to 100 or more . To test this quality , tho balloting balls , which had just been used for tho admission of new members , were thrown from tfce box Ioobo upon the table , and Here Daza , after taking a single glance , and then turning away , declared tho total number to be sixty-eight which proved to be correct , when the balls were counted and returned to the box . It should ba
remarked in this case that some were lying much nearer together than others , and that they would appear to an ordinary spectator te be so confused as to puzzle even an experienced calculator how to avoid reckoning some of them twice . He then save the product of two numbers to twelve figures , multiplied it b y seven , and repeated the latter product backwards without an error in any figure . He was then asked the cube of 457 , which wa 8 correctly given , 95 , 443 , 993 , almost instantaneously . He will divide a number by another , consisting of two or three figures , and will write down the answer at once , in one line , " without any apparent intermediate process . In as rapid a manner he gave tho factors to 7 , 421 , namely , 41 181 ; but it would tako up tQQ
much time to state all the surprising proofs of tbis singular gift of calculation . We may merely mention , as one instance , that ho multiplied a number , consisting of twelve figures , by another number of twelve figures , and gave the product correct in one minute and three quarters . Tolls oh Vessels . —A return to Parliament ( oh tained by Sir George Pechell ) was yesterday printed , from whioh it appears that in two yearsfrom the 10 th of Ootober , 1847 , to the 10 th of October , 1849—as many as 32 , 333 vessels passed Dover harbour , the tolls on which amoihted to £ 21 , 569 12 s . lid . From the port of London 7 , 38 V vessels pasBed , on which the tolls in the two yea ™ amounted to £ 8 , 708 9 s . Id . VVjJ
