Lord Massereene is not alone among the protestant noblemen and gentry of Ireland who have rejected the invitation or the clique that have been endea vouring to get up a new Conservative Society in this country. Several whose names are not before the public have adopted the same sensible course, and in the Mail of last night we find the letter of " • deputy lieutenant of a midland county," assigning his reasons for refusing to join the new factious movement. He expresses utter distrust in the prin ciples of conservative statesmen, and says: It seems, then, that conservative principles having been practically abandoned by those whom we did regard as our political leaders, and between whose policy, when in office, and that of the present government there is apparently but little practical difference, I cannot see the object of is o elating in support of nominal conservatism, and must there- fore decline to join your society.

Yesterday in the committee, Mr. Gnawll in the chair, Mr. berjeant Wrangnam opened the case for Lord Charles Wellesley, declarin4 Out there eras nu evidence to being borne bribery, and then celled evidence. Adams, a greengrocer, deposed that the giving his vote for Lord C. Wellesley had nothing whatever to do with any promise of a suit of clothes from Clymer. Clymer deposed to there being a conversation about a suit of clothes, hut that it had no reference whatever to any vote given by Adams. The committee adjourned to this day.

The entertainments et this theatre last evening wore for the annual benefit of the Letter-Carrion' Pension and Annuity Association; a most praiseworthy establish ment, which well deserves the support of the public. There was a profusion of performances i—ths comedy of Ths Hoesyssoon; an agreeable whop of vocal music; Mr. Sands's exhibition of walking across the ceiling with his bead downwards; and the oriental spectacle called The Turkish Losers. This ample bill of fare proved attrac tive, and the house was crowded in every part, to the sub stantial advantage (we trust) of the excellent society for whose benefit the performances were given. SALE AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, Yesterday, pursuant to notice, the effects and pro perties of this Theatre were again submitted for sale by auction. Mr. Scott, the auctioneer appointed by the mort gagee, ascended the rostrum at one o'clock, at which time a company of about 400 had assembled. The auctioneer stated that be was instructed to put up the property in one lot at a reduction of 1,0001. from the reserved pries at first fixed. After readingthe particulars, he stated that the fat* of this National Theatre was now in the hands of the company present, for if no purchaser should present himself for the whole in one lot at an advance on the re duced price of 11,0001., there was no alternative but to immediately proceed with the sale in separate lots, which would effectually prevent the opening of the theatre this season. Mr. Scott then repeated the upset price three i times, but no response was made, and he announced the sale in lots must at once commence. The company then pro ceeded to the Queen's Concert-room, which was arranged for the sale in a very tasteful manner, and presented magnificent appearance from the quantities of dresses, ar- mour, alto., displayed. The day's sale consisted of the first portion of the " Gentlemen's Wardrobe," and was divided into 140 lots, which produced, in what the auctioneer termed very low prices, about 2001. Among the buyers were Mr. Conquest, of the Grecian Saloon, Messrs. Na. than, Lacy, Shepherd, and other theatrical costumiers. Raiz Intelligence.

In this case, which was argued on a former day, their lordships gave judgment. It was an appeal from the Court of Session under the following circumstances :—The Dundee Fishery Company sold certain land in Glugow to Small, the present respond ent, which was charged with a ground-anneal, or ground rent, of 3001. Before the conveyance was executed Small assigned the property to one Adamson, who continued to hold it, and paid the ground-tent for some years and until he became bankrupt. In the interval the Dundee Fishery Company sold the property to Miller, who received the ground-anneal from Adamson so long as be continued to pay it, but on his ceasing to do so Millar called on Small to pay it. Small instituted a suit of suspends in the Court of Session, which was granted by the Lord Ordinary on the ground that by the assignment Small's personal obligation ceased, ceased, which decision was confirmed by the judges of the Inner House, on which the present appeal was brought. The Lord Chancellor said that be had come to the con clusion that the decision in a case of Soots Trustees T. Ped die, on which the judgment of the court below in this case was founded, was erroneous, that the assignment by Small did not relieve him from his personal obligation, and the judgment of the court below must be reversed. Lord St. Leopards, in a very elaborate judgment, ex pressed his concurrence, and The judgment was reversed, and the appeal was allowed. COURT OF BANICRUPTCY.—YESTERDAV. Emma 1116 Casuaissox sa Lusts. IN 11 MILITED.-1111110VAL OF FIATS. His Honour gave judgment in this case as follows was an application under 12 and 13 Victoria, cap. 106, sec. 90, to me, as senior commissioner, to remove the petition from London to Bristol, the alleged ground being that it had been improperly ordered to be filed and prosecuted in London instead of Bristol. A great many cases were cited by jig. Linklater to prove that such an order ought not to be made except for very special reasons. (See en pane Orem, 3, M. D. and D., 330, and other vies.) In these cases the venue was changed under circumstances very simi lar to the present ; and in the case of Shaw, where the choice of assignees had taken place, the commissioner re fused to allow the person chosen by the creditors to be as signs* because he lived at a distance. An application was thereupon made to change the venue. On the argument before me, I told the solicitor that, in my opinion, his pro per coarse was to appeal against the decision of the commis sioner. I also said that if he had come to me in the first instance I should have refused to change the venue, because I was of opinion that the grounds stated were not sufficient. The_ applicant stated that a majority of the cre ditors lived in Lendm. The superior court, however, held that the grounds were sufficient to change the venue. So issues of " 8z pert, West," )ILr. Caosaissieser Maori held that the affidavit was insufficient ; but the superior court held it sufficient, and changed the venue. I am of opinion that the eases decide that the grounds for changing the must be very, very strong; in fact, I can scarcely imagine estate of facts to Justify the change. Therefore, had I again to consider the eases, I should probably refuse the application • yet, as so long a time has elapsed, as the stock is all in f.ondon, and as the assignees are persons in trade, I do not think that I should act beneficially for the creditors, if I were to send the petition to Bristol. It is of the greatest importance to the creditors that some certain rule should be established ; for otherwise the evils attending these disputes will be very detrimental to their pecuniary interests. It is rarely of the slightest importance to credi• tors where the fiat is worked, but other parties have a con siderable interest in the question. 111 BE BOWDZIC The bankrupt was an apothecary at Ware. This wail the lut examination meeting. His debts were 2,2001.; assets about 3001. --.---. Mr. Hall, for the assignees, offered no opposition, and the bankrupt passed.

The insolvent was a dealer in fancy articles in a small way, and it appeared he had a pianoforte for his daughter, which instrument, with a gig and schen of drawers he had sold. — Z.

Yesterday an application wes made on the part of the Board of Inland Revenue to Mr. Henry, the sitting magis trate at Bow-street. The defendant was Mr. E. Truelove, newsveuder, and the charge was that of " wilfully and knowingly " selling an unatamped newspaper called the Potteries Free Press. Mr. Phinn, M.P., appeared as counsel for the board, and Mr. Parry for the defendant. Mr. Plitnn, in opening the case, said that he appeared there in support of an information laid by the Board of In land Revenue, against Edward Truelove, for selling an unatamped newspaper, contrary to the 6 and 7 Wm. IV., e. 76. The learned counsel having recited the section, pointed out that it contemplated printing or publication, selling or offering or exposiag for sale, distributing, or knowingly and wilfully having for purposes of sale it distribution, uostamped newspapers. The section was, as hie worship was aware, exceedingly stringent, and justified the distress and selling of press, types, do., for the penalty. This information was laid far knowingly and wilfully selling, and here it would be necessary to refer also to the 4th section of the act to as. certain what in reality constituted a newspaper. The 4th section enacted that every paper described in the schedule ed should be deemed and taken to be a newspaper. This schedule defined a newspaper to be any paper contain ing public news, intelligence, or occurrences in any part of the United Kingdom, and printed to be distributed or made public. Also any paper published daily, weekly, or at in tervals less than 26 days, and containing some news and principally advertisements. Now the construction origin ally put on this act was that the first definition ' any paper containing news," dc., was the legal definition of a newspaper, and most persona still believed that such was the intention of parliament, but the Court of Exchequer had decided by a majority of three judges to one that the third definition qualified the first, and that to constitute a newspaper size must be considered, and also the interval of publication mentioned in the definition. For the present purpose he must assume that decision to be law, although he must add that the government contested the validity of the decision. The information in the present case was laid against a paper called the Potteries Fres Press, and the second number was that which the defendant was charged with selling. This paper, it appeared, was published by a body of gentlemen acting together, and anxious to try the legal question. Mr. Parry denied that such was the character of the pub lication. Mr. Phinn said that he believed; a body of gen tlemen had associated for the purpose of getups the law altered, but it appeared that they had not countenanced the publication of this paper, which was as actual breach of the law. He held in his hand a list of the names of these gentlemen. This paper contained, first of all, county advertisements ; secondly, re ports of proceedings in the Houses of Lords and Commons; then a leading article on the French invasion and the means et Wird detence—(a laugh) ; one on Now re ams, nod a lice of local occurrences . Now he eoetenied lhat Mossy this paper did not contain news would be a stretch of imagination of which be hardly believed any one capable. He believed, indeed, that the object of the publication was to try the law. He knew that that war not the time or plans for discussing the policy of affixing stamps to newspapers, the only thing the guardians of the bad to do was to see that ths law was enforced. He had only further to say that if his worship's decision should be in favour of the crown, and should be deemed arreseous by the party . opposite, there would be an " r un se iltierrroirt,res emoonton messenger n e e e lse to w t tere ofsee of the Bohm. toe of Inland Revenue, was called, and proved that on the 13th February he went to 240, Strand, and purchased some newspapers from a man (the defendant) who was in the shop. There were no other persons present. He went sub sequently on the 23rd, and purchased the paper called the Poaeries Free Press, but on that occasion he was served hy a female. He urchased other copies on the Bth of March. Mr. Parry asked which paper the prosecution depended on?? Mr. Phinn said on that of the 23rd February. It was *ailed the Potteries Fres Press and Weekly Narrative of Cement Monte. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Parry, but no thing of importance was elicited. Mr. Parry said that, by sec. 17, the offence was laid in " wilfully selling," and he contended that it must be proved that the person charged actually sold the publication him self. Qui facet per 'ilium facet per se, was not held to be a good maxim in any criminal cue whatever. They must show the actual selling, and this charge was brought res pecting the paper sold on the 23rd, which paper, it was proved, had been sold by a female in the absence of the de fendant. The first section said, " any person knowingly and wilfully printing and publishing." It was not suffi cient to say "caused." Mr. Henry said that would be quite sufficient in an in dictment for publishing. The witness proved that, on the previous occasion, the defendant was in the shop. It was also admitted that his name was over the door, and he was put down as one of the agents for the paper. These facts together were sufficient. Mr. Parry urged that the charge was for " knowingly and wilfully selling," and he asked how could any man do anything knowingly and wilfully" by the hands of another. Mr. Henry said that the contrary had been held in cases of libel. The master was held to have a control over the persons serving in his shop. Mr. Parry said that was his objection, and it would be taken elsewhere, if not so fortunate as to meet with his worship's approval. With respect to the newspaper itself, he was prepared to show that it was published mainly for a particular locality, and consisted chiefly of information interesting only in the Potteries. As to the advertisements, he apprehended they were not illegal, nor did they require a stamped paper. Neither could the comments be held to be news. He admitted that the paper did contain news, but be contended that the conduct of the Inland Revenue stab► titles had been most capricious in defining what was and what was not news. The result was that nobody could say what a newspaper really was. Other papers were permit ted to appear containing news, either because the Inland Re was afraid to prosecute them, or for some other reason. Here was a paper published fora particular loess lity, and containing partly news, and it was pursued by the board while other papers equally illegal were allowed to pus unnoticed. Now the proprietor of this paper, the moment it was published, went to the Stamp. ones NM deposited it, his object being that he should get nodes, taw der the 24th section,. and have an opportunity of bringing his case before • Jury. But the Board of Inland Re venue had never proceeded against the publisher, but against the person found selling. How could that person know that the sale was illegal, knowing, es he did, that the publication had been registered, as far es the publisher could effect it. The 24th section provided that in case of a prosecution the publishershould have timely notice, but the Inland Revenue avoided that section, remained quies cent as against the publisher, and proceeded under another section against the seller. While these attacks were made upon; the Potteries Fres Press, the Builder was permitted to he published every week containing news, law reports, and accounts of events in various parts of the country. Again, there were The Racing Tenses, Racing Telegraph, and Atheiurum, all of which contained news, and all of which the defendant said. There was Chambe:rs' Journal, containing every week " Things talked of in London," and all these papers published without a stamp, or stamped merely to send to distant customers. The I d counsel read some articles from these papers, contending that they were news, and that in the cue of the racing papers, ety mology itself convicted them of publishing " occurrences. ' Mr. Henry asked, did these racing papers confiae them selves exclusively to racing matters? Mr. Parry—Yee. Mr. Henry—And the Builder to its peculiar subjects ? Mr. Parry believed not. Mr. Henry—Does the Atheneum confine itself to literary matters ? Mr. Parry—No: here, in its literary gossip, it speaks of the seizure of six gentlemen connected with the press, in Paris, and stigmatises the act as tyrannical. It talks of the freedom of the press, and thus is writing, not literature, but politics. Then there are theatrical criticisms, which also come under the denomination of news. The Builder gives the price of gas, the price of Iron, and investigations re specting burial-grounds. Surely all that is news. Mr. Phinn said that the act exempted matters wholly of • twouseroial asters. Mr. Parry—Are burial grounds commercial matters? (A laugh.) Now, seeing that all these things were per mitted, how were people in the Potteries to know what a newspaper was, seeing that the judges of the land were per plexed ant had differed on the subject. The learned counsel quoted Baron Parke's opinion, admitting that it had been overruled, but using it to show the difference of opinion among the judges. How was it to be expected that a poor tradesman could know that which had puzzled three judges ? He believed that the argument went so far, that if the Household IVorralive was held to be a newspaper, it would have been bard to exclude the Annual Register. That was the argument of Mr. Baron Martin ; it was tke reductio ad absurdam, but that was often an excellent argument. The Alhersesuse constantly contained occurrences tar more interesting as news than the debates in parliament, and arti cles of actual news under the heads "Arctic Regions," " Our Weekly Gossip," and the national schools in Ireland, a subject the interest of which depended not upon any literary question, but on the difference of creed between the two races in Ireland. Then there was an article on the press edict at Madrid, and various others, which, if passed, would render it impossible to draw the line, impossible fur the subtlety of a judge, much more so for the inexperience of a poor tradesman. He could prove that Mr. Collet went immediately on the publication of his paper to the Inland It Office, and that they referred him to their col lector at Lichfield. The learned counsel, after one or two other observations, concluded by expressing his earnest hope that the court would not feel justified in inflicting the penalty. Mr. Tim, , solicitor to the Board of Inland Revenue, stated that he had received • letter from Mr. Collet, an nouncing the publication of his paper, and referring him to Messrs. Ashunt, solicitors, in case any of his proceedings were found fault with. The witness was naked whether the attention of the board had been called to the Alhenseuns, !Builder, &c., and whether they had been prosecuted. Ile said attention had been called, but that the board had slot prosecuted. . . ... . .. ... . . . . Mr. Parry asked whether, under the 24th section of the act, it was not usual to give notice before action ? Mr. Tiwa—l do not know that there is any practice. I recollect but one notice. Mr. Phinn—ls it not the rule to permit papers to pus that confine themselves mainly to spegalties, merely adding such paragraphs of news u are counected with their main subject. Mr. Time—Yes. The practice has gradually grown up during the last 26 vean. I cannot tell how it began. Mr. Parry asked why the board did not proceed against Mr. Collett - - - 7 - . Mr. Time—There was no evidence spinet him. Mr. Parry—Did he not send you the paper and a letter? —We could not have proved his handwriting. Is it sot the practice to give notice Defer° prosecution ?—Yes, in case of inadvertence ; not when a publication is so flagrantly against the law as this is. The letters that had passed were then put in and read ; after which Mr. C. D. Collet was examined—l am publisher and proprietor of this paper. Had ordered a copy to be fur nished to the stamp office. Before issuing the paper went to the office of Inland Revenue, and saw Mr. liaise, the register of newspapers and pamphlets. Witness told him he wished to comply with the 24th section of the act in order that he might have the advantage of the 25th. Mr. Hake said they kept no register, that it was not the custom, but if witness sent a paper to Lichfield to the collector there, that would be sufficient. No proceedings had ever been taken against witness. Had repeatedly called the attention of the board to the Athenceum, Protestant Maga zine, and other unstamped papers, and they had not been prosecuted. Had previously examined the papers with re ference to the acts of parliament. His object was to bring the matter before a jury. Mr. Phinn—What are you ?—I am a teacher of singing. I have not a printing press ; but, according to custom, I am printer if this paper. It is printed b 7 Mr. Turner. Mr. Phinn—Was your object to vindicate the right of publishing news, without the permission of the government? —Certainly. Mr. Phitin—Did you tell Truelove, before you appointed him your agent, that you expected to be prosecuted I—l don't recollect. The paper circulates as a lo ca l weekly paper, with a sale, in addition, of about 200 in London. Mr. Phinn—Have you not acted as you have done, to bring down a prosecution I—l certainly was anxious to bring the question before a jury. I believe the Inland Res would not dare to go before a jury. In answer to the magistrate, witness said he believed he had put down Truelove's name as an agent, without the latter's knowledge. Mr. Phinn said it was not denied that defendant had sold thp paper, nor, secondly, that it was a newspaper. Neither was there any doubt that Mr. Collet's object was to beard the government. Neither was there any comparison be tween the Athenian, Builder, &c., and this paper, they giving occasional scraps of news, and this containing all news. The court had now all the facts before it, and the sole object of the Board of Inland Revenue was to vindicate the law. _ _ The Magistrate intimated that u this was an important Cu., he would take time to consider his judgment. MARKETS. COTTON.—Livlnronx, MARCH 17.—The sales of cotton were estimated at 6,000 bales, chiefly American, of which 2,000 weee taken by speculators and 1,000 by exporters. The other kinds disposed of were 200 remain and Moran ham, at 13141. to 61d. ; 2 , 50 Egyptian, at 61d. to Bd. ; 400 Surat, at 31d. to 4id.; 80 Sea Islands, at 20d. to 22id. The market closed steadily, and compared with Friday's rates, Irian of American under 64. per pound were generally . per lb. dearer; above that price, lees affected. Bursts, d. per lb. higher. Other aorta without alteration. MANCRISTER, MARCH 17.—There has been a continu ance of the slightly improved tone of the market noticed on Tuesday, but it is not very marked. There is rather more activity in the home trade, and yarns have been held for better prices in No. 40's, 60's, and 60's. India quali ties-60's and 60's being more decidedly worse to buy than at the close of last week. India qualities of cloth are also rather firmer. The letters from India and China by the Overland mail, however, are of a discouraging character. In other respect the market is unaltered. WOOL..—BiIADPORD. March 17.—The large purchases made at the close of last year generally at the spinners in good stock, and since the opening of the present their operations have been only of an asserting character, every week, however, showing a manifestchange in the inquiries, no doubt from their stocks getting nearer wrought up. For anything good in class the demand is fully equal to the sup ply offering, and the prides are very discouraging to the buyers. The staplers, on the other hand, contend that if they dispose of their stocks, they cannot replace on terms that will enable them to meet the current rates here. In Broke and Nods the inquiry is active, and the prices firm. Many contracts made for Yarns seme months past are now drawing to a claw . , and inquiries are making for re. pur chase, but the prices now demanded are such as to com pletely paralyse the manufacturer ; and such spinners as have bad Wool to buy to cover orders taken have been working to a great loss. A great quantity of Yarns was purchased after the shipping season had closed for Russia last autumn • and, owing to the export trade not being active, has been brought into the market and re-sold at prices that would afford a small profit on the purchased price, but far below the current rate sought by the spinners. This stack seems exhausted, and the prices having ruled too high for speculation, there is nothing to fall back on, and reeled yarns are now better sale than for some months past. Manufacturers find their difficulties increase, for it is impossible on any kind to cover cost. The advance on Yarns and Wool is such as will unavoidably, ere long, com pel the necessity of either running short time or stopping machinery, unless a most decided advance can be realised to justify the present production. CORN.-BIBUINOHLII, MARCH 17.-At Gloucester and Worcester markets on the 12th the wheat trade ruled very dull, and foreign gave way Is. to 2s. per quarter, but lower prices were not submitted to for new English. Barley tending downwards. Oats 6d. per quarter lower. Beans maintained their value. Peas neglected. During the pre sent week English wheat has been firmly held for former prices. Fins foreign has changed hands at 'decline of le. per quarter. Barley taken in retail at about previous rates. Oats difficult to dispose of in quantity. No alteration in beans or peas. At this day's market there was a short sup ply from the fanners, and the turn on English wheat was in favour of the seller. Fine barley maintained its value, but secondary qualities were 6d. to Is. per quarter lower. Oats only taken in retail. Old beans inquired for, but new neg lected. Scarcely any transaction reported in peas. BRISTOL, MARCH 17.-Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with English wheat, but the samples offering were in much better condition than these sent in a few weeks since. The demand was not extensive, and prices gave way to the extent of fully le. per imperial quarter. Foreign participated in the decline upon English, and prices were lower for most qualities to about the same extent. For flour the demand was limited, and values were fully Is. per sack for English, and from 6d. to Is. per bar rel for foreign, under the currencies of this day se'nnight. For malting barley the trade was very dull, and in order to effect sales lower prices had to be submitted to. Grinding parcels were also in restricted demand, and brought Is. per quarter less money than was procurable last week. The supplies of oats were large, with only a moderate inquiry (or them, and values gave way O. per quarter. In beans there was no material venation The prices were as follows :-English new wheat, 38s. to 465. per imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, 48s. to 545. per ditto; foreign, white, 50s. to 545. per 4801bs. ; foreign, red, extra fine qualities, 475. to 50s. per ditto; ditto, miudling qualities, 435. to 465. per do. ; do., ordinary qualities, 41s. to 435. per ditto; foreign, hard, 425. to 445. per ditto English seconds flour, 3.65. to 365.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of proprietors of Bank Stack took plan at the Batik of England, for the purpose of declaring a dividend. luunsou HANNAY, En., the governor, having entered the court with the other directors, The 800 TTTTTT read the minutes of the former meeting, which were confirmed. The Govniuroa said he bad now to acquaint the court that this was cue of the quarterly general courts appointed by the charter, sad also one of the half-yearly general courts appointed by the by-laws to consider of a dividend. He had likewise to acquaint the court that the net profits for the half-year ending the 28th of February led were 563,0491., and that the rest, from which the dividend would have to be made, amounted to 3,694,2834 which would enable the court to declare a dividend of 4 per cent. on the half-year, and would leave the rest at the amount of 3,012,1131. The directors would, therefore, recommend a dividend of 4 per cent. (if this court should think fit) out of the interest and profits of the half-year ending the 28th of February, without any deduction on account of income tax. He would, therefore, now propose the question that this court do order a dividend to be rude of 4 per cent. out of the interest and profits of the hilliest' ending the 28th of February last without any deduction en account of in come tax. (Applause.) The resolution wee agreed to unanimously. Mr. Coot said, if they only considered the state of the money market for some time pest, they would see how well their directors had performed their duties to give them such a dividend. The result was highly creditable to the court of directors. (Hear, hear.) He had, there fore, great pleasure in moving that the thanks of this court be given to the governor, deputy-governor, and directors, for their attention to the interests of the prope.eton during the lut half-year." (Applause.) Mr. BURIMITiII seconded the motion, which was pissed unanimously. The Clovis:sou begged to return the thanks of the court for the continued confidence the proprietors were kind enough to repose in them. He had now to acquaint the proprietors that as the present rate of dividend ex ceeded the last, it was necessary to have this declaration confirmed by a ballot in the usual manner. He would, therefore, propose that this court do now adjourn till Tiraday the 22nd instant, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, for the purpose of determining in respect to this declaration of dividend. (Applause.) This motion having been agreed to, the court adjourned. ADMIRALTY, MARCH 17. APPOINTMENTS.— Surgeon W. Dl'Derinott, to Etpiegle. Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals J. Watson, to Jamaica Hospital. Masters -As- Blatant A. M. Mould, to Duke of Wollingtos. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 17.—The Commander-in- Chid, Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, went out to Spit bead yesterday afternoon, and embarked onboard the Sidon, 22, swam-frigate, Captain Goldsmith, hoisting his flag on board for the purpose of exercising All crew of that ship, together with those of the Leopard, 12, steam-frigate, Capt. Oiffard, and the Olin, 16, steam-frigate, Captain F. Scott. The three vessels went down the Solent as far as Osborne under canvas, having top-gallant sails, topsails, foresails gib, and driver set. In this run the Sidon and Leopard appeared to be about equal, although had the latter Ceti permitted to try to pass ahead of the Sidon, there was every probability shi• would have succeeded in doing so. The Win's sailing abilities proved to be indifferent; the Coin enander.in•Chiet signalled her to make more sail, but with that she could not materially mend her pace. Having pasted Osborne the three vessolv returned to Spithead under steam, retaining their relative positions, and anchored there. The above ezereive of these three ships is not a very important one in itself, but it is regarded as the commencement by Aden.

Muth Wheat and Barley were tardily disposed of, and the mar ket ruled heavy and desponding throughout. On the day's business in Wheat a decline of from Is. to 2s. may be re ported.

MUTINY ON BOARD TUE ALBATROSS.—Amounts by private letter have reached the city (Cork) of a very serious mutiny which broke out on board this vessel on her voyage to Australia. The crew had almost one and all refused to aid in the working of the ship, in consequence of the captain having punished the insolence of one of the men, who struck him, by putting him in irons. The captain, was seconded by the passengers, and was able to prevent the dangerous consequences which, bad they been leareeolute, might have arisen from these acts of in subordination.
