      THE LATE BURGLARY IN THE REGENT ' S PARK . On Monday the four men in custody for the burglary at Mr . Holford ' s , Regent ' s Park , -era brought up at the Marylebone court for further examination . A conversation took ' place between the magistrate and the police , from' which it appeared that the officers bad been closely watching the women with whom the prisoners cohabited , and that they were of opinion that there was yet another party concerned in the burglary . Barry , one of the officers , expressed his conviction that'his information was good , and that he should succeed in apprehending the person not yet in custody . —Mr . Joseph , surgeon , Great Marylebone-street , said I examined Mahon ' s hands in this court and in , the cell . On one hand there was a cut a little more than an inch in length , and partially healed ., On ihe right band there were three distinct marks of shot . He was afterwards stripped by the police , but there were no other marks on the body . The

      shot marks had a circular inclination like shot v » ound 9 , and I think the marks were bo produced . The marks would not have been caused by a fall on the gravel . The cot conld have been occasioned by a spike in attempting to get over a railing . 3 To 6 hot has been extracted by any instrument . The shot Lad not been removed by . a-cutting instrument . The wound was a superficial one , and the shot might have been taken out in an hour , and the haDd conld become healed before the prisoner . was apprehended . A wound got on the gravel would heal sooner than a gunshot" wommV—Mrl Collins , surgeon , 1-5 , Mornington-place : On '; Monday last , about a quarterio two , I was called iip to the'Aliany-street station . I saw the prisoner Mitchell there , who said he was in very great pain , and had been taken away before be got bis wonnds dressed . I found the arm and shoulder enveloped in a poultice , and having about eleven or twelve , gun-shot wounds in the back . There were ' no shots in the

      wounds . I saw no appearance of shot coming out under the tongue , but I had not a complete view of every part of the body . He acknowledged that tkey were shot wounds , bmtrhe did not say how he got them . —Police-constable D 31 produced the hat in which were shot marks . —Mr . Collins : The shot marks I saw on the body conld sot have been caused Jjy shot passing through the hat . Mitchell was in great pain . —Another bat was here produced , which was found near Mr . Holford ' s house , and was tried on Robinson , and proved a very bad fit , as it went , over his head and covered his nose , amidst much laughter . - The hat had a convenient drawer in the top for carrying a candle . The bat was then tried on Mahon , and nearly fitted him . —Mr . Wontner Eaid hi 3 client was in bed at the time of the burr

      glary , as he would prove by witnesses , and it was a strong fact , the police expected to apprehend another party . —Several witnesses were then called to prove an alibi ; bnt the magistrates , however , remanded the prisoners till Monday next .

      As Evextfcl Career . —Our obituary this week records the death of an individual ( Anna Duchess of falata ) the history of whose fortunes would fill no small pagein romantic story . She was thedaughter of John Peele , a small farmer at CorriEgham , near Gainsborough , who eked out a somewhat declining livelihood by dealing in horses , < fcc , having . previously been in better circumstances . Being au only daughter , and aware that she possessed no small share of rustic charms , our embryo duchess , despising the limited sphere in which she lived , resolved to try her fortune elsewhere . " She became a dressmaker in Gainsborough , and resided lubsequently in Hull , and it is said as housemaid in a good family in London , where her attractions 6 btained for her the attentions of a person of rank , to . whom she afterwards averred she was married and she from that time occupied a position where her fortunes led her into contact with some of the

      highest classes . A few years afterwards she asto" nished her former companions by appearing : with her carriage and livery servants in the / character of ehere amie to Mr . Fauntlerby , then" a flourishing banker in London . Unfortunately the riches of the * tanker were of a doubtful character ; and some time afterwards he was convicted of-forgery , and paid the penalty with his life . Affected by the ruin , but not participating in the crime of Fauntleroy , - our heroine struggled bravely with , fate , and generally maintained a . fair appearance in society both in London and in Parisl She shortly re-appeared in her native county as Duchess . [ of . Palata .-Jit ; this lime the fortunes of her family had reduced them to he the occupants of a small cottage at Morton , and

      age rendering her father incapable of active exertion , he filled the humble office of rural postman . To her honour , it should be recorded , that she enabled her parents to pas 3 the remainder of . their . days in comfort . Six or seven years ago she again visited her native place , a widow , his grace the Duke of l ' alata-having- paid the debt of nature . . Ber mother she left at Morton , paid the / last duties to her father ( somewhat ostentatiously ) , and volunteered her assistance to promote the advancement of her female relates . A gain , however , " a change came o ' er the spirit of her dream ; " andsometbree or four years ago the public journals announced her marriage to the son of an Irish clergyman of good famUyIn this character

      . , accompanied byfher niece as femme de chambre , bnt not by her husband , she one more viated Gainsborough and-the scenes ' of her youth ; after making her mother an allowance , to bepaidmonthl y { toprevent 8 omeavaricious parties from defrauding her of it , as ahe bad too much reason to suspect would be the case ) she again departed for Italy , in good health ; but death which spares neither rank nor character , has closed the " last scene of all tbisstrange eventful history " - The above are but the broad outlines of her career although it would be easy to expand them toalWit any limit : as related to the writer of this notice they seemed more like the tales of romance than of r-veritable narrative . —Stamford ikrearv .

';«*; - On Monday ; i atr the Assembl y-rooms of the Queen ' s ; the charges were heard against the beachmen of Lowestoft , tor impeding the rescue of the Lunar . AJapt ^ Pettie ; from Archangel for London , from off the ^ ewcombe Sands , and assaulting the crew of the Lowestoft steamer ; which had'put off ' to her assistance .-Mr . Ballantine , the barrister , and Mr . Maynard , attended to prosecute ? and : Mr . Palmer , the Becorder for Great YannouthJ appeared for the defendants ; . ISo fewer than eighteen of the beaehmen had informations -laid against them ; hutMr ^ Ballantine onl y select ed twoof the defendants to : commence the inquiry , it being asserted that the part they had taken in resisthjff the

      aueautnonty of the law was more-distinguishable than the other cases ; Their names were'William Norman and . John : Hollond Sanders , and they pleaded not guilty to the charge laid : against' them . •—Mr . Ballantine having opened the proceedings , the witnesses for the prosecution were then called . Their testimony extended to some length ; but ! the following are the main and principal facts . - - On the morning of the 18 th of October , the Lunar struck on the Kewcombe Sands , and three men came off from the beach , and tendered their services id getting the vessel off . The Lowestoft steam-tug then came off , and eventually she was' engaged By the master , Mr . Petty , to assist in getting the bri g off for £ 50 . . By this period . other- boats had comd off ,

      and their services being positively refused , they became indignant at the course pursued . by tho harbour authorities in sending , out the tug . ^ The de ; fendants . it would appear , waited upon the deputy harbour master ,- and desired : the tug to" be > withdrawn . Such being refused , however , murderous threats were held out to the captain . They said that they ( the tug ) : were ; taking the bread out of their mouths , that some one had better ; be sent out to read the riot act , for that they , the boatmen j intended to muster . Other boats—in all six—were near the brig , and on the tug endeavouring to tow the brig off , they unbooked . the towing-hawsers by their boat-hooks , and , after resorting to every stratagem ,-they commenced-pelting the captain , Mr .

      Cooper , and others of the crew , of the tug . with , stones . They succeeded in thwarting the exertions of those in . the tug , and the master was hit in i the side with & stone , which rendered bin insensible .. He was taken ashore apparently for . dead , and now continues ill . The deck of the steamer was strewn with stones , which the men had brought off purposely for- the attack , and it being seen that they were determined , if possible , to keep her away , ' , 8 he returned to the harbour , leaving- the brig onjthe sands . j-The -fellows again- pressed their , services , but were as positively declined ; : when the- coast guard officers arrived ,-and order being- somewhat restored , another tug ,-the-Pursuit , came off ,- and eot the vessel ' off into the- roadstead . ^ -The Chair .

      man ( the Rev . Mr .: Love ) , after consulting with the bench ,- expressed his regret at the occurrence . Had the injuries to the captain of the steamer , terminated fatally , they might have'all been' placed in a very serious position . The-bench were inclined to believe that they might have been acting under an erroneous impression , and in consideration of that circumstance , they reduced . the penalties on each of the defendants to £ 10 or two months'imprisonment . —Mr . Ballantine -then said that all the ; com * pany required was to show the men that they Were acting illegally , and as that object had . been ; attained , he would be content with their putting in their own recognizances-to keep the peace . —The

      bench acquiesced ,. and the remainder of the defendants being called in : and pleading guilty , they were bound over in the . way recommended . —Capt . Stewart observed that while he lamented the necessity of the present proceedings , lie could : not but bear witness to the courageous and daring conduct of the Low ? stoft beaehmen . la saying-so , : he regretted . what had . appeared in print about their being wreckers . They had evidently : acted under an erroneous impression , but now they , bad found out their mistake , he hoped they . would exhibit , a generous rivalry , in saving _ life and property . The circumstance of tbeir saving 200 fellows on one occasion would ever remain sacred in ; his memory as an instance of their noble and daring character .

      Theeafedtics . — The history of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more | is known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this mo ^ men t , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , andin the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeui tics which the next age has banished ; each lias boasted ; in its tumof cures , and they , in their turn , hate been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; infect , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural J . " At this mofrnerit , says Mri Pinny , ' the opinions on ihe subject of treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners . themselves . TTitnessthe . mass of contradiction on the treatment of even one disease , namely ,-consumption ' . Stroll attributes its'frequency to . the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark an effectual cure . "Reid ascribes . tue frequency of thedis

      ease to the use of mercury . Brillonet asserts that it is curable by mercury only . Ruse ' Eaysthat '' consumpti 6 h is an inflammatory disease —should'be ^ treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvadori says it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen recommended vinegar as the beslpreventative of consumption . Dessanlt arid others assert that'eonsumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . BeddOes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglave more injurious in his practice than beneficial Such are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And . yetthere ' ean be but one true theory of disease .

I went on this visit to the defendant ' 8 house in tho month' of October , 1840 . " The " defendant lives at HauleigKi

      and my ,, father resides' at West Baraet . When I first saw the . defendant it was in the month of July , 1849 , and from that day to the'day of my visit I had s-een . hitn but twice . I heard the defendant ask my father and mother to allow me to visit / them , to keep his wife company . The consent haying been given , I went over with the defendant in his gig on the last'day of September , 1849 , and we ' started about six o'clock in the evening . I was unacquainted with the road from my futher's ' to the defendant ' s house ; As we were ' passing . through Barnet , the defendant wanted me to go , into the Salisbury Arms , and ha ' vo some wine , but I refused . At this time it was quite dark . "' The defendant took the wrong road , and after we had gone some way , he put his hand ubon my knees . 1 said that if he

      did this I should go home , whereupon he desisted , and returning back into the right road , he then drove to his house , where I saw his wife . The defendant is about forty years of age , and has a wife . and four children , the eldest of whom is ten years of age . I slept in a room over the kitchen , and tho defendant and his wife slept in a - room above tha . 1 in . which I was . When 1 had been there about a fortnight the defendant came into my ropm ,. pne njorningbetween five and six o ' clock for some gig . cushions , as he said . At that time I was agleept but being , awakened I found that : ho was sitting on my bed taking indecent liberties with'me . The : > . defendant asked me to accompany him to London and go to the play . I replied that I did not want to go to the play . The defendant then began

      to struggle with me , in the course of which encounterl got ' out of bed ; and running towards the door , said that I would tellhis wifo of his conduct , when he said , " Oh , don't tell Mrs .. Howard . " The defendant , put . his back against , the door to prevent my leaving tko room . I then said that I would call out , but he seized hold of me , and , throwing , me on the bed , effected his purpose ; -ahd so seduced me . Having done this , tbe defendant again asked me to accompany him to London , but I refused ; Ho then left the house in ^ about five minutes . Ten dayB afterwards the defendant again came into my bedroom . I was not asleep on that occasion ; it was , as before , between five and skio ' block . I had not expected suoh a visit .. He asked me to go to London with him , and said that if I would , he

      would give me a gold watch and a satin dress ; and he also asked / mo if I would have some money . . 1 replied to the latter question that I had some , and he then seduced me again . I told him he had ruined mel- On this occasion the dofondant was in ^ he room about ten minutes . He was , as before , dressed with the exception of his coat .: I remained three weeks in the house after this , but the defendant did not take any more liberties with me .- About a fortnight subsequent to my . return home , the defendant and his wife came ; over . At that period I had not made any mention of what had occurred .

" My mother said , "You have no occasion to go back unless you like

During the seven weeks that I : was living in : the defendant's house I went home on two . occasions ; but I did not on either of . those occasions say a word about the treatment I had received from the defendant to any

      one . ' I did not scream out when 'the defendant seduced me . The room in which it was effected was only about ten steps . from the room . in which Mrs . Howard was in bed . jpn the succeeding morning of each seduction I breakfasted at the same table with the defendant's wife , but I never said a word to her as to her husband ' s treatment of me . Thocoach passed by the house every day , but I did not go home by it . W . Layard . a foreman to the plaintiff ,, stated that after the . discovery of the girl ' s pregnancy the defendant had come to his master's house , and as he feared some scuffle might take . 'place between his master and the defendant _ he had gone into an adjoining room . The plaintiff said , on seeing the defendant , "Oh , Howard , you have ruined my daughter ! " The defendant made no reply to this exclamation . The plaintiff then said ; " You scoundrel , how could you treat me thus ? You have ruined my daughter ! " The defendant thereupon said , "It is a bad job , let us settle it as well as we can .

The Chairman Baid that were there no ' other reason for upholding ; thafc ^ . rinual commemoration , this would be a vilidone ; that it was a vallying point for the veteran reformers bf the generation that wag passing away . and the rising reformers of the

      generation . that was starting into political life , and united them in oneness of principle and of feeling . They had . still ' . those lingering amongst them whose voices jbined in the shout raised at the acquittal of Hardy andhwassoc ' iates . ' There ' were also many there to whom that event was a matter of history , who associated it in their minds with events recorded of times gone by , but who were . there -made to feel the reality of those exciting scenes , the importance of . th ' at struggle , and the blessed influence of that deliverance . ( Cheers . )/ Their ' objects in that assembly were chiefly theae—to preserve and do homage to the memory ; of good ; . true , brava men—men who were worthy of being held in continual remembrancei who . were the confessora of liberty , and were ready to be martyrs —(

      cheers)and to testify to-the worth of the institution to which they owed their escape . But especially wera they assembled ; to commemorate the principle for which these men assembled , and for which-their lives were put in peril . ( Cheers . ) They met ' to assert arid to reassert , from year to year , thatjgreafi foundation truth of allpoliticsj ' thbprimary article of their social creed , that ' all power was derived from ' and was to be exercised for the good of the people , its basis being the sovereignty , of the people . ( Cheers . ) By the phrase '' th ^ . sovereignty of the people , " they did riot mean an unreasoning power to be put forth upon mere impulse , but the primary authority- of the people to be exercised through tlie medium of representation . They meant that . soTcreignty which , had been in . partial ; exercisa

      from . the earliest periods . It was to be traced in the ' passing 61 the great / charter , "' when principles werelaiduow ' n ' whiohtb / thisda ^ continued to be -landmarks of rights and justice ; in the early days of tho -llouee et' Commons , however imperfect might be the system of representation , the redress of grievances wa 3 connected " with the granting of supplies . / It was tbbe , seen in the / banishmient of one dynasty and the substitution for it of another , involving the principle that monarchs existed for the people with their sufferance , andthat the" continuance of their authority was dependent on tha people ' s'acquiescence and practical approbation . They rejoiced in the extension of the means of bringing this principle into operation . It was thi 3 which gave : them a claim to the title of a people .

      On looking around the world they lamented to sea how much the existence of the popular element was denied . "In countries where there , was only , tha despot , the . serf , . arid the " soldiers , there was not , and it would be in' vain to talk of the sovereignty of the people ; but they believed not in the continuance of this chaos ; on the contrary ,-they believed there would-yet bo a Germany —( oheers )—one , great , arid free—they believed there would yet ] be a Hungarian nation , and a Poland —( great cheering ) - * they believed ! that'tho' soyereingty of the peopla was growing , and would become a universal reality ( Cheers . ) The sovereignty" of the people in this

      country could not , in his opinion , be realised without the universality ' of the suffrage . ( Hear , hear . Towards that end they were advancing . Schemes short of that might be proposed , and for a tima might be worthy of adoption and support ; but still the inherent conviction . of those' who united with , and of those who had now succeeded the patriots of 1794 , was this—that nothing short of the universality of the suffrage could satisfy the claims of human nature or render to man that which was his right . It was with' this conviction that : he gave what had always been the introductory toast on those occasions , " Tho sovereignty of the people . " ( Oheers /) .. ' . ¦ '' ¦ ¦ ¦ - ' ¦¦ , The toast was . drunk with the honours .

      Mr . Toulmik Smith , in an eloquent speech , proposed the toast of " Trial by Jury—the palladium of British liberty . " The toast was drunk with enthusiasm . The Chairman then proposed the health bf tha twelve men who in 1794 were acquitted , and proved the inestimable- advantage ; of trial by j ury , even under the pressure of power put forth for their de-Btruotion . Those men had now all dropped into the grave , but tbe commemoration continued and would continue . ( Cheers . ) Since the great event commemorated on that occasion , heaven-born ministers had risen ' - ' arid fallen—thrones had been shakenwars had been waged and concluded—and still there had been a gathering , of true and honest men to celebrate tho deliverance of fiftv-six vears back .

      No one ' of the twelve men in after life ever stained the memory of that great day of deliverance . No one of them was ever assailed by the breath of vituperation , or did anything , to disgrace the causa with which his name bad become identified . Tha course which they all took was a noble one . They sought for nothing but what high political autho « rities had sanctioned their seeking , and they sought it by means worthy of freemen ; and after the trial they , returned to their several occupations , and pursued them honourably . They always continued consistent to their principles , and several of them , having spent a long Jife , sank peacefully into their graves , amid the blessings of all good men . They were not the notoriously profligate ; they were not offenders against'the decencies of society ; but they

      were men who approved themselves honest and upright in their dealings ; and it could not but strike the youngest minds that there must be something wrong in'a system which sought to ' make them > die the death of dogs . These were the men whom the government of the day sought to destroy . ' Arid by what means ? By imagining or purposely inventing the notion of conspiracy ; by employing spies , and by attempting to tamper with" the jury . The trials were conducted with rigour . The prisoners were confined in dungeons , and ~ some of them deprived of their papers until it was tod late to use them ; and- upwards of thirty days wore passed in ^ endeavours to procure their condemnation ^ Thiswas tha feeling of the ruling classes of this 1 cbuntry ^/ this was the- feeling of a- professedly : religioua ; king— .

      ( hear , " ' hear)—in reality a narrow-minded bigot , arid whose long reign was marked by the shedding of moro bloodi" by the casting of more treasure , and by the loss of more territory , than that ' of any preceding monarch . This was the policy of the'Church and State . ( Hear , hear . )! Allthat was rstlcogade in mind andhoart—all the owls , and bats , and birds of night that'hate the sunshine—all were alarmed at the principles which were dawning upon the world , and combined to crush thoso who asserted that God and nature had made men i free and equal . How undoubtingly - they stood that conflict they learnt from the ^ memoirs of Thelwall . So warrants were prepared , and ' would have" been issued , had a verdict been obtained-.- But the accused endured tho'trial , and they had their reward in this affectionate ' commemoration ; ( Cheers . ) Although in

      these dayB tho press was free to an extent of which they had no conception ; although in these days free trade-had taught . feudalism that its day was over , and that it ; had mow only to '' die in peace ;" although the country , " while showing its' lpve'Jof order had shown also its love of freedom and bf political progression ; although they lived in better days , and in hopes of brighter days yet to come , » till , let'them not forgot those ^ who coritributed * to this joyous riiarch of events , arid had their name 3 inscribed ' on the page of'b . istpry . jin -letters which would herer grow dim and be read without einbtiOD , Their spirit survived ; it would not die ; it ¦ would outlast all struggles .
