CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The danger of convicting on circumstantial evi dence may be seenjfrom the followitne f e els:— A farmer was triod at the assizes 7 1 or the murder of a neighbour, under the following circienstances : —The evidence went to prove that the deceased teas found recently murdered; and by his side lay a pitehtlirk, evidently the sort of instrument by which the wounds appeared to have been inflicted. fhe person finding him discovered upon the lurk the initials of the prisoner, to whom he, with others, • immediately repaired, to ascertain whether he hail any knowledge of the circumstance. The prisoner appeared confused, but positively denied any know ledge about it ; but not being able to account, how ever, for his titrk getting into the possession of, or being found near, the deceased, farther imptiries were made, and the prisoner's house sear-hed, when under hid bedding were discovered smile clothes which he usually wore (aud had been seen in that very morning) covered with blood, and the deceased's tiirk behind the bedstead. The prisoner, being called on for his defeacc, de clared his innocence, and called Cod to witness that he was not the murderer. The truth, be said, was this, although he had at first denied all knowled ,, e of the affair, that he was walking in one if his neighbour's grounds that morning, with his ihrk in hand (it being bay-time), and that he found the de ceased weltering in his blood. That he immediately rendered him what assistance he could, by raising him up, and that the man died in his arms. Finding life gone, and observing the bloody condition his own clothes were in, and fearing he miOtt therefi•re be suspected, he hurried home, and by some mistake took up the deceased's folk instead of his own. The judge (Mr. Justice Blackstone) and jury, except ono man, immediately concluded the prisoner guilty. This juryman, fortunately for the ptisoner, knew that circumstances were not always to be relied on, and could not be brought to reconcile his mind to find him guilty. The judge, who was ready to nmve off to the next assize town, considering this man a most obstinate know, desired to know what could lead him to a supposition of the prisoner's innocence, when the circumstantial evidence of his guilt was perhaps the strongest ever known. The juryman obtained an interview with the judge, from whom he exacted n promise that Lis reasons ihr such conduct should not he named by his lordship until after his, the juryman's death. He then said to his lordship, " I am (it' I can be so called) the murderer, and not the primmer ; but the fact is, it was purely accidental. The deceased was our titheman, a man of a quarrelsome disposition, we differed about his setting out the tithe of my bay. From words we got to blows, and in a scuffle we both fell, and in the fall the lOrk penetrated his side. Considering the wound mortal, Mier a few minutes I left him, and the primmer came tip soon afterwards ; and his statement, perfectly true, al though circumstances would have hanged him, but that Providence placed me liven this jury." The primmer was in consequence acquitted, and the alvve filets were, after the death of ate juryman, introduced hy the sac.c judge in his charge to the grand jury upon a subsequent circuit, by sl ay of caution against admitting in all cases, however strong, circumstantial evidence alune• THE NATIONAL REGISTER CO NSISTORT COURT,DOCTORSTOMMONS,Nme DECISION ON THE PATENT Corns CASE. This important and novel proceeding, which had been argued at great length on a former day. came on for judgment before Sir Wm. Scott this morning. It was a suit brought by John- Gilbert parishioner of St. Andrew's Holborn, against John Ba-wood and William Boyer, churchwardens, fur the °Hence of obstructing the interment of his wire, Mary Gil bert. After stating in substance the criminaticg articles, and the defensive allegations, the Learned Judoe proceeded in a long and elaborate speech to deliver the opinion of the Court, on the question of r;ght which had been submitted fir hs decision.— Sir William first took a view of the different modes of disposing of the remains of the dead, recorded in history, teal then came to consider the argument relative to prticular coffins. With respect to the diflia-enee in the duration of the coffins of wood and coffins of iron, it was, said the Learned Judge, the tindt of the party complainant, it being left by him to judge of this matter, without sufficient informa tion, I judge amiss in holding, that coffins of iron arc much more, perhaps douhly mare durable than those of wood. If, therefore, these iron coffins are to bring additional charges upon parishes, they ought to bring with them a proportionate compen smion ; upon all common principles of estimated value, one must pay for the longer lease which you usually take of the ground. At the same time perishes are not left to carve for themselves in im posing rates they arc submitted to the examination of the Ecclesiastical Magistrate, the Ordinary. " It remains only," added the Learned Judge, " that I should direct the parish to exhihit a ti,bie of burial fees fur the consideration of the Ordinary. I would recommend, in the mean time, that the body should be committed to the grave without further obstruc tion, but without prejudice to the present question, or the rights of the parish. No prohibitory resolu tion existed at the time of the death ; and I wil lingly lay hold of that circumstance to recommend a measure of peace to the living and to the dead.—l shall admit affidavits to he brought in on both aides, lx:itre the tables of burial fees." A circumstance has recently occurred in Paris, ‘vhich shows that there are some busy and mis chievous spirits at work in that capital. A paper has revently been published, :mildly purporting to be under the sanction of the Dnke of Orleans, in which it is stated that a royal infant, anrsblered by the Bourbons tha hopes of France, is of doubtful birth, and insinuating that it an imposition on the French people, and that the &clams was not preg. nuns since the dcath of the duke. In the first in. stance the Duke of Orleans, it is well known, id neither an ambitions nor meddling character, and his name is unwarrantably connected with a pub. lication totally without his knowlcge or conewrence. A copy of this paper has been transmitted to each of the Foreign Ambassadors at difLrent Foreign Court:, and appears to have cmenatcd front the Buonapartists in Paris, and is the nucleus of some plot, which is very likely to involve its c,nitrivers in ruin. THE PIIESMT LORD M.tiun.—This worthy and clistit titian:a Chief Magistrate learning that the Guard, hid been turned loose to scour the greets, on Friday evening, issued his peremptory ',Myr to prevent their entrance into the City. The I .ates at hemple-bar were accordingly shut, and by this \vise interposition of his Lordship the peace of the City was unbroken, the lives of the Citizens were not mwrilieed. DREADFUL Fats.—An alarming fire broke out at half-past fbur o'clock on Thursday aficrnoon in the sawing-yard of Mr. Gillespie, timber merchant, in Drury-lane. It burned furiously 14 nearly two hours, and illuminated the whale of Westminster, the flames resisting every elfin of the engines to subdue them. The fire communicated to some ad jacent houses, and fair of them n•. re soon redneed to ruins, making its progress towards Nlartlett-court, where the inhabitants were in the utmost consterna tion, as were those in the whole of that close neigh bourhood. It was found necessary to raze sonic prentisea to prevent the flames from sprea Ile blaze of the muss of timber occasioned the greatest alarm throughout the metropolis, us it was supposed Drury-lane theatre was on fire, and the crowds that rushed towards the place from all quar ters, soon blocked up the passages. The number of pc , rsens assembled was incalculable, us the crowds that were returning f'r►m the Lord Mayor's proces sion an hastened to the scene of conflagrAion and ruin. It was piteous to hear the screams Of women and children, flying from their habitations, many of the inhabitants leaving their gotals and furniture a prey to the flames, which spread with the utmost rapidity, in courequence of the high wind which blew frt.m tie north-east. We lime not been ab:c to ascertain the uptown of the damage, Lut many poor people, we fear, have suffered severely.—We have not heard that uny lives were lest. CO` ENT GARDEN. Joy at the result of the proceedings against the Queen was manifested MI Friday Main at this Iheatre in the stron?est and most marked manlier. The Play, which Wl5 TweYith Isigid, with the recent alterations, had no rimier concluded, than a general cry arose f every part of the House fur God save the Queen.

Tire return of these words were eagerly watebed, and replied with enthusiastic cheers. The whole of the audience stood tip—Gentlemen svavint their hats, and ladies their handkerchiefs. The house in which this sinking ' , roof of public interest in the cause of the Queen, awl of gladness at her triumph over her anal*. limit, but now defeated stud humiliated enemies, was displayed, was exceedingly cmwded.
