TESTIMONIAL TO THE MIT OF TI COM- GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen desirous of pro moting the presentation of a testienuoial to the acting mem bers of the executive committee was held at the London Tavern. Alderman Sir Joey Muountien was unanimously sealed upon to preside. The CHAIRMAN certainly felt it no Ime • matter of pleasure than pf duty to respond to Web invitation te Mite the chair. They had 'sleeted lam Ike that leaser, be beaus* he was in no way ledivideelly isesessied rt:r srisition, _ineserstak se he wee neither em ealithee see a permit Mend of the smineet geellemen wham emi ti erne alma le semplimese.

WOODS seed the edvertisement calling the meet*, and proceeded te eeplsin the course pursued by the committee. Bohm the excitement caused by the Great Exhibition had left the pablic mind a feeling became gene ral that some teat' of • public nature ought to be presented to the executive committee, as an acknowledg ment of the discretion, zeal, courtesy, and judgment with which they hail discharged their onerous duties ; and to which in some degree was owing the surer., of that gigantic undertaking. (Cheers.) A few gentlemen cow =minted their ideas to each other on the subject, and after some (hereunto it was determined that a general committee should he formed with • view of sounding the public mind. Tu the call made upon them all the chief Arms in the metropolis, and indeed in the country also, had cordially responded ; and even those gentlemen who, from various motives, declined being members of the committee, hail tendered in the freest manner promisee of their moist ener. A great number of letters had also been received from noblemen and other gentlemen, of which the following extract from • communication of the Lake of Beeelesch might forma specimen "No one is more alive *OS myself to the greet services rendered by the members albs SIM- Zee committee. Their unwearied zeal, undoes Idmiesse and summon, their patience under difficulties, ad the els savable manner in which they performed the side= end varied duties imposed upon them, must be acksetelmiged bp every exhibitor, and indeed by every one at all IMMO elf their services." (Cheers.) In feet, such was the seems remount the committee had received that they felt fully justified in calling the present meeting. (Cheers.) Alderman WIRE had great satisfaction in moving the following resolution: "That the unceasing 'zeniths of the acting membirs of the executive committee of Sr Unlit Exhibition—vis., Colonel Sir W. Reid, Hearty Oda, and C. Wentworth Hake, Ergs.—from the period of MB as. nouncemeet in 1849 to its triumphant issue, entitle them to a public testimonial in acknowledgment of their seritmel that such testimonial is the more requisite when it is mendlets bereft that one of the number has not felt WNW at Oa. I to accept any pecuniary reward." It mos not mew eery fur bon to enter into the nip histeg abl i . the Great Exhibition. The meeting mind km remember that when the idea had bees suggested, a meeting took place at the Mansion-been under the auspices of the Lord Mayor. The idea Wm matured at that meeting was carried Mee esemstiss with uesessies seal and energy by the three imillemen meat to the Nero lutists. Of cause in selecting Mom on tbpeeaems wan bat borne the most arduous part in the sled Mass not neeeseary that he should say • word in of others, but the public woul I not leans notfTrlliell time, that it was by the activity, energy, seal, and judge mint of Mean. Reid, Cole, and Iblke that the lizhibitiom was brought to • snecessful issue. (Cheers.) It wee true that they were assisted by the royal commission and the various local committees all over the country, but still it was to their executive excellence and indefatigability that its triumph was maiuly due. (Chars.) It might _be asked why they had reward Colonel Sir W. Reid, seeing that he had been already rewarded by Ms severesg• with a step in rank—the governorship of a *mg and the bosom of knighthood. It was true that he ha received these rewards, but he was entitled tehmk else Sr • reward from the public. (Cheers.) The woe somas wall apply to Mr. Cole. He had received • beets me elmigilment from Om royal commission, bat that wee net et el on efts game reanuteration • for no mere pecuniary reward lOW purchase the Intelligence and zeal which he had devoted te the Exhibition. (Cheers.) Mr. Dilke's name would ewe be remembered as that of a gentleman who had, in the most disinterested manner, devoted almost the whole of hie time to • gnat public object, and sacrificed to it every pow suit and recreation to which he was attached. (Cheers.) Mile (Add. Wire) had to acknowledge personally the courtesy, kinder's, and attention which he had invariably received from Mr. Dilke. (Cheers.) Considering the immense uer viee which the Utast Exhibition had done to this sew of civilisation end universal peace, they must ed Sol that something more thee any reward a wearily' seen knew was dui to exertiess each as those of the gaselinWlM to whom it was paymml to present a toilleMeig.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the establishment in St. lielen's-place, Sishopegatestrevt. CHAlLill FILAN[S, Esq., took the chair. The minutes of the former meeting were read and con firmed. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting was called for the purpose of considering as to the purulent of a hull-yearly dividend. They must be aware that as the accounts in Canada were not made up till the end of the year, it would not be possible for the directors at this meeting to present the accounts for the year 18.51. He was still able to give them an abstract of what hod been done in 1851 up to the 11th of December, by which the progress of the company would be seen, as well aa its prevent condition. In the year 1850 they had disposed of 117,993 acres, at an average price of 16s. 3d per acre. During 18.51 they had disposed of 137,362 acres, at an average price of 15e. Bd. Thus tlpi Menus in the Ude of land over the year 18.50 was 19,399 scree. (Hear, hear.) The receipts in 18.50 up to the Ilth of December were 43,582/. 13.. 10d., and during the pre sent year they amounted to 66,0721. 181. 64., making an increase of 10,4901. 4s. Sd. over the year 1840. The last year he might call the most prosperous one the company had ever known, so that this increase for the year 18.51 ought to he looked spun as highly satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) The difference in the pries) of land sold in 18.11, namely, 3d. an acre lose—ought not to be looked upon u a full in the price of land, because that previously let had been more valuable in quality. A strong proof of the contentment of the settlets was the fact of 10,117 acres haring been purchased before the leases expired. (hear, bear.) The debenture debt had been reduced by 12,0001, which made the amount now 121,2001.; and, ho was happy to say, this amount had been paid out of their receipts from Canada. (Hear, hear. Their balance in band was out eierat to pay a dividend and the interest of the debentures. The amount remitted home by settlers in the year ls.ll was 12,9731. 2s. 7d., and the amount deposited in the hands of the company for mitten was 21,9001. The emigration to Canada bad been large, but not sufficient for the wants of the precincts. the Chairman concluded by expressing his gratification at the prosperous state of the company's affairs, and their obliga tions to Mr. Widder, who (marinated the leasing system. The following is a comparative statement of land sold and tweed in 1830 and 1831, to 11th December : IS 1651. %crew Low. A Aold. • 4 4v5110 is 1131. Crowaraverves 1,04 at IL.

He thought it more advisable to have a small bonus annually, than to have it postponed for five years. (Hear, hear.) The motion for the payment of the dividend was seconded, and paned unanimously. The CHAIRMAN alluded to the advantage ofemigrants, without money, biasing land for 10 years, during which time they were enabled by their own exertions to pur chase that land before the lease expired. Mr. A. GILLESPIE said that he had returned from • tour in the Canada. and Unit.. d States, and was happy to bear testimony to the rich nature of the soil in the western districts of Canada, and its peculiar adaptability to corn growing. (Hear, hear.) He thought the advantages of the company's land ought to be more prominently brought be fore the public. A vote otthanks was then passed to the chairman and directors, when the meeting adjourned. IRELAND. Dustin. Dsc. 31. The Northern Trhig, referring to the present ex tensive strike of workmen, says : The mischief is not confined to England ; it has made its appearance In Belfast, and in such a manner as proves that a oWlfullyarrsaged organisation exists between the engineers and mactiiniste of Great Britain and Ireland. In one lead- ing establishment in this town, 26 of the workmen have struck," after presenting their employer with a notice re markably similar to that of the wise men of Oldham. That our readers may understand the position in which these men stand, who believe themselves so ill-treated, we may state that their wages, as we have been informed, range from 26e. to 365. a week for each man. And their demands would appear to be these :—thnt the time of labour shall extend only tram 7 o'clock in the morning to 6 in the afternoon, allowing one hour for meals; that Saturday he a " half-day," as it is with schoolboys; that no over-work or Sunday work be done, unless in case of accident; that for such labour they be paid double • and that when they work outside, they be allowed cert ain additional pay, with other advan tages, the object of which, we wakes, we ourselves do not clearly understand. Some of these demands, we believe, the employers expressed their willingness to comply with— others, such as the restriction of the hours of labour, they considered too ab.urd to entertain for a moment. The re sult has been a "strike," and these gentlemen are thus temporarily inconvenienced in the execution of some im portant orders which lie on their hands—a difficulty, how ever, which we doubt not they will speedily overcome. Archbishop Murray has, through his Archdeacon, invited his clergy to may certain public prayers ordered by the Pope, to avert threatened calamities from the church and state. He addresses them iu the following terms: The Sovereign Pontiff, our Most Holy Father Pope Pius the Ninth, argues forward the distinguished piety of the several catholic bishops of the entire world, desires, in his lineyelicel Letters of the 21st November last, that public prayen M offered op to implore the Divine mercy for the purpose of averting the great calamities which are impend ing over both the church and the state. To fulfil these truly pastoral aspirations, in which we most heartily concur, we hereby invite all the catholic clergy and laity of this diocese to unite in fervent sad public ; far which purpose we enjoin that the colleen Pro /CM be recited at every masa, for one month, commencing neat Sunday, the 4th of January, 1662, and that the Litany of the Saints, with the prayers attached thereto, be read aloud in all the catholic churches sod chapels edam city, every Friday, at each mews, during the said month ; and in country thumbs% and of Ibis diocese ea every Sunday within the same period.

GREAT WWITIN RAILWAY.—Thia company are about to band as iliteasive air Usual* depot at their PoddWilda Malice, to moot dm rapdromauts of blurb goods treas. This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages in an action brought to recover compensation from the defendant, Mr. Thomas Vemey, attorney, of Cold Ilarbour.square, for ne ligenise in the conduct of an action. Judgment was aniseed by default. Mr. Wilkins. solicitor, appeared for the plaintiff, and from hie statement to the jury, the evidence of the plaintiff, and a number of documents put in, it appeared that in the coarse of 18.30 a person named Smith brought an action against one Frederick Orchard, for goods sold and deli vered, and the declaration isi that action contained two counts, one on a bill of exchange for the amount given by Orchard when the goods were sold, and the other in the usual form for goods sold and delivered. Orchard, being a minor, appeared by his next friend, the present plaintiff, to defend the action; and he instructed Mr. Verney as his at. Wiley. The defence was a plea of infancy, but a person who drew the pleadings for Mr. Vessey, pleaded infancy to the first count of the declaration only, and the general issue as to the count for gods sold and delivered. The result was that Orchard succeeded as far as the Issue on the ant count went, but failed on the second, and a verdict was given against him for 1341. 17s. 6d. Execution was issued, has goods were seized, and he was arrested and is at the present time in Whitecress-street Prison. it was alleged in the declaration that this was through the negligence of the defendant in not pleading iufancy "to both counts, and on the part of the plaintiff the jury were asked to give a verdict for the amount recovered against Orchard, and for a sum of 171. which the plaintiff hail paid out of his own pocket as the action was going on. The action against Oichard was tried at the summer wises at Guildford in 1860. The plaintiff, in cross-examination, said Orchard was his nephew, and was now of age. Me was is his twenty-first year when the action was brought against him by Smith. The action was brought for furniture supplied. The greater portion of the goods seised under the execution were paid for; the whole of them certainly were not paid for. Orchard was in business at the time as a tarpaulin manufacturer. Witness knew the person who took the active part fur Mr. Vinery in isefending the action. Had never offered to settle the whole matter if Mr. Vessey would pay him 71., but had offered to settle it for that sum inde pendent of any claim Orchard might have against Mr. Verney for redress—that sum being part of what he (wit- nese) paid to Mr. Vessey's agent, as the proceedings were in progress. Mr. Vessey had admitted his liability for the whole, and bad said an adverse verditl, if he was proceeded against, might compel him to go through the Insolvent Debtors' Court Mr. W. Cooper addressed the Jury fee tie defeedest. He mad* some stringent observatiese spa Oveliud% der fence to the action brought against Ma to mover for puts sold and delivered to him as a testes ea, and said that by' • fortunate slip for the creditor, but as issfortunato one fear Mr. Vessey—an attempt to sorb the proud of a just debt had been defeated. Mn. Maw MS sot Isms the pleadings himself. The goads, or • peeks of tbesa, takes under the execution, had never bees paid for. r. Or chard, it was trite, was in Whitecrogeogimet, and he thought the utmost extent to which the plaintiff ought to recover against Mr. Vessey was the 71. which had been talked of between them.

Levi Tobias, who was a few days ago charged with having had in his ' well knowing that they had been stolen, • large of gloves, the property of Messrs. Wilson, hosts s sad in Mincing-lane, was brought betore Aldermen ilees for final examination upon that charge. The prisoner had been followed from his own house in the London-ruad to a public home in Prince's-street, in that neighbourhood, by 'f rew and Webb, of the City De tective Police, and in a bag which be carried were found gloves which were identified as part of the Wunder taken from the premises of the prosecutors by thieves. The additional evidence in the ease was the following: It will be recollected that Mr. fioloinon, the solicitor to the prieoner, said in defence that the gloves had been purchased as • "job lot" at one of the sales of Mr. Bailey, the auctioneer. Mr. J. Meson, clerk to Mr. Bailey, of Wood -street, Cheapside, was called for the prosecution. He said—l superintend the delivery of articles sold at Mr. Bailey's auction rooms, and hero examined the gloves in question, and my arm belief is that they were not sold at Mr. Bailey's. We do not sell "job lots." We only sell by auction. If a job lot had been sold to the prisoner I would have been ewers of the fact. I hays been with Mr. Bailey 23 years, and know the prisoner as an occasional buyer. He bought some gloves at our rooms on the 28th of Nov. They passed through my hands, but were quite different from those produced. Cress examined—l have known him some time. He deals bet little. The articles he deals in are drapery goods, clothes, and gloves. Mr. Solomon—Has be not always paid for the goods he bought? Witness—Yes; he pays always before he takes the goods away, as every one else does. Alderman Wilson having reed the usual cashes to the prisoner and told him that his words would be takes down and used, if considered necessary, against bins, The prisoner said "The gloves wore purchased at Mr. Bailey's, as I was informed. The party of whom I had theta told me so." Mr. Lloyd, solicitor to Marrs.

Ons of the gold watches has bees identi led by • who was robbed of it a abort time ago. Creereramined by Mr. Solomon —The goods were stand ing on the Übe as they are here. I have been making inquiries nod have found no claimant for any of the watches eseept the eine I have spoken of. Mr. Sollesese—My client has no invoice. I expect to be able to posse that he bought ten out of the eleven watches at miss, at Debenham's, Thompson's, and other isemisesees. The clocks were a lso bought as a "job lot."

It was stolen from me on the night of the 2nd- of this month. I bad had it repaired by Mr. Christie. The num ber and maker's name correspond with the information I gave. ♦ female took it out of my pocket in Holton, be tween 8 and 9 o'clock.

The prisoner was then remanded upon the two latter charges. Alderman Wilma requested that the pram would ao knowledge the receipt of 21. from Mrs. J., for the poor boa of the court. Edward Charles Maoferias, a young man who has been nearly five years a desk in the General Post-officc, was charged with stealing two letters containing money, the property of ate Postumater•General. l'lte prisoner is a murw4 man, having six children, the youngest being under 10 years of age, and his laths, held a othithatial situation iu the Yereign-ediee for many years.

The prisoner hiving received the usual caution, admitted the truth of the evidence as to the finding the letters, and wee ordered to be remanded after the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. It was stated that his salary was 901. a year. GUILDHALL. -------. John Barker, alias 31vsphy, was brought up on remand, charged with defrauding Henry Joseph Brock, glass manu facturer, of Llartlett's-bni,dings. It appeared that in July last a person, named Samuel Turner, applied W Mr. Brock foe some goods, and referred him to a Mr. Stanley and to the prisoner, who gave the ad dress William-street, Newington causeway. On being ap plied to, the prisoner stated that he had known Turner for ten years, that he wee most respectable, and that he would be security fur him to the amount of 2301. The prosecutor then drew two bills fur 1001. and 101., which were accepted by the prisoner. Mr. Lewis now appeared for the prosecution, and said that he charged the prisoner with a conspiracy, with Stanley and Turner, to defraud the prosecutor. There was in paint of fact no such person as Stanley, that beteg a name assumed by the person in question. At the last session at the Old Bailey five persons were convicted for a conspiracy to defraud tradesmen, and this very so-called Stanley was the referee of several of them. With regard to Turner he had obtained 3001. worth of goods from Mr. Brock, the greater pert of which were immediately pawned. The polies would have both Stanley and Turner in elytody in • few days if there was a remand. He could also provo that the prisoner'. name was not Barker but Murphy. George Quinnear, the police sergeant, said he had no doubt he should soon be able to apprehend Turner in con sequence of information he bad received in the last 24 hours. He bad ascertained that part of the goods obtained from Mr. Brock had been pledged by the prisoner's daughter. Ile had known him for ten years, and knew he kept a beer shop in Charles-street, Brandon-street, Wal worth, in the name of Murphy. The prisoner slid the charge was only a trap to get his taken in execution, the sheriff's oiled Mein hoes la watt at the °See ever time be had been is custody. The ease was *gala reimaadoL BOW-STREET. WESTMINSTER. James Claserton, the proprietor of the Duke of Marl. borough beer-shop, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, appeared to a summons, charging him with neglecting to afford proper accommodation to two soldiers quartered upon him. George Sutherland, a sergeant of the Bth Hussars, stated that on the 23rd ult. ho served a billet upon defendant's wife tor two privates of the Rifles, and was told that they would have proper accommodation. In an hour or two afterwards he was sent fur, in consequence of the complaint of the two men, to inspect the bed upon which they were to sleep for the night. lie found it was not flt fur any person. It consisted of two small mattresses placed next to each other, but which did not exactly meet, apparently stuffed with straw, or something of that kind. The covering con sisted of a small thin blanket. Mr. Arnold inquired whether there were no sheets ? The sergeant replied there were some thin rags toler ably clean, but they were light, as there was little or nothing of them, and a small thin rug, or something in place of it. The men in consequence did not sleep there. Witness told tho landlady about the bed, and she said if they did not like it they might go without. Police-constable George Close, 211 B, said that ho also inspected the bed. It was quite clean, but appeared very hard. Defendant, in reply to the charge, assured the magistrate that a sitting-room and a bed room, the former with a fire in it, were offered the two soldiers, who conducted them selves in a very of manner. The bed was one which he was in the habit of letting nightly to mechanics or others who might need a lodging ; and AO far from the sheets being thin or worn out, they were nearly new, and put on clean for the soldiers. They rang the bell two or three times for coals in the midst of defendant's business, and wanted a shilling and a pint of..porter given them, and were very much put out because be refused to secede to their request.lr.rnold inquired whether the bed bad been slept in about the 25th ult. Defendant replied only a night or two previously by two hard-working men, who expressed themselves perfectly testified, as also had many others. Indeed he and his wi ts had slept on the bed formerly, and it had been let all the season at a shilling per night up to the night before last. Surely it was not expected that a man was to give up his, own feather bed to two private soldiers billetted upon him. There was, as he had said before, a pair of nearly new clean sheets upon the bed besides two blankets, and the bed was quite good enough for respectable hardworking men, and be thought for soldiers ton. Mr. Arnold expressed seine doubt whether beershop• keepers were liable to have soldiers billetted upon Them, and adjourned the ease for a few days, when, ho said, if defendant liked to produce - any witnesses in his behalf, he , would hear them. SOUTIIWARK. _ . John Stowell and iioiass Stowell were on Saturday week last exespined at this court on charges of perjury, conspiracy, and subornation of perjury, alleged to have been committed by them, and • men named George How son G.irnett, at the Southwark County Court, in an action brought by John Stowell, a person connected with the me tropolitan stage department, against Mr. Kennett, the landiord of the Hoop and Grapes Tavern, Broaderay,West musette, to recover 301. 10s. on two I 0 Us for mousy lent. The action was tried before a jury, and Kennett, having proved that the money had been paid, • verdict for Dim was returned. He accordingly charged the three parties above named with wilful and corrupt penury, and con spiring together, by making false oaths, to extort money from him under a false action. The particulars of the case were fully reported at the time, when Mr. Combo, the magistrate, held the two Stowell. to bail in 501. each, to answer the charge at the next sessions. Garnett absconded, and • warrant was issued for his apprehension, but the officer had not been able to find him. Mr. Kennett, accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. Preston, now attended the court, and informed the magistrate that at the termination of the examination of the Stowells, on Saturday, the 13th, a warrant was placed in the hands of Guest, one of the offices+ attached to the court, for Gar nett'. apprehension. That officer had been very iudefati gable in his exertions, but Garnett could not be found. Believing that he was either kept out of the way by some parties or secreted in the metropolis, Mr. Kennett had offered a reward of 51. for his apprehension, u he was determined to bring all parties to justice. Mr. Kennett pro duced • handbill, a number of which he had forwarded to the Metropolitan l'olice stations, and distributed about the metropolis, which he considered would ►ikely be the means of finding him. He is about 44 years of age, five feet five inches in height, shabbily dressed, and was last seen in Thomas-street, Oxford-street. - LAMBETH. A middle aged female of gipsy appearance was placed at the bee on the following charge of imposition. Sauk Stamp, a simple-looking country girl, deposed that on Saturday last the prisoner, at about one o'clock in the afternoon, came in front other muter's house and stood opposite the kitchen window, and, believing her to be in want, she gave her some broken meat. While doing so the prisoner asked if she wished her fortune told, saying she would tell her fortune truly. She (witness) at first refused to have her fortune told, but the prisoner having repeatedly pressed her, and declared she would tell her nothing but the truth, she consented to give her a sixpence to have her fortune told. The prisoner then came down into the area, and, pulling out some card., told her (witness) to put a sixpence on one of them. The prisoner also said the witness must hold 4s. 6d. in her hand, and she did so. After a little, the prisoner said she must put the money on the cards, and un her doing so, she (the prisoner) took it, and put it into her mouth. Witness Biked her for the money, but the prisoner said she could not give it her back until after three o'clock, as she had to take it to her master, Mr. Churchill, that she hod a license to go about telling fortunes ' and that she had • half sovereign for a girl at Clapham-common, who had called a policeman to give her into custody for imposing on her by telling fortunes; but she presented her license to the con stable, who on seeing it told the girl she must be the loser of the money. The prisoner then went away, and she saw nothing more of her until Tuesday,. when she milled again, and asked her fur 4s. more, saying that she wanted that amount to make up the half sovereign for the young woman at Clapham, and that she should return and pay her the Ss. lid. Witness, feeling • dread and horror at the awkward position she h ad placed herself in, gave her the four shillings, but subsequently communicated the whole of the circumstance to her muter, and on her calling that day, at twelve o'cluck, the prisoner was given into custody. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness said that the prisoner told her her fortune, which was, " that a dark woman was very envious of her; " that she must be aware of this "dark woman," and t hat she would shortly receive a letter with some money. Mr. Elliott remarked that there was no clam of offenders productive of more evil than that to which the prisoner be longed, and committed her to the tread-mill for three months. Mr. Elliott yesterday received 20/., the anneal donation of the Ovildsmiths' Company, and V. from .1. If. 11., through Messrs. Goslings, the bankers, for the poor-box, which be requested our reporter to acknowledge. THAMES. Francisco Morrell,' 0; Murray, 31, and Berth Mao Argenti Koo, 25, seamen, the former a Roman and the latter a Tuscan, lately belonging to the barque Alberto, of Liverpool, Capt. John Benton, were charged with feloni ously assaulting with intent to murder Peter Oettand, either a Swede or Norwegian. Mr. Powell, barrister, appeared for the prosecution, on behalf of the llome•office, and stated that the prisoners had been sent here by a warrant of the consul at Quebec, where judicial Iroccedings had been taken before a jury; but it being found that there was no jurisdiction there, they were sent over here in custody of a Quebec constable named Michael Barrett. James Colveft said—l was steward on board the Alberto, belonging to Liverpool. I signed on the 30th of January, 1861. The prisoners were part of the crew, and so was Peter Oettand. Oettand was an able seaman. Oa the 17th of April, in the same year, the ship had been two days in harbour at Mohill-bay, in the United States. One of the men came to me aft and asked me to give him a piece of medic to write a letter to a friend. This was at about 7 in the evening. " I said I would," and took the candle for ward myself. About 10 minutes after Peter Oet'and was si.ting on the windlass end smoking a pipe. lie had • Jim Crow hat on. I and he began talking, and he asked if I could recommend him to a decent board ing house when we got te Liverpool. I said I could, and then Argent* struck him on the forehead with an axe, in flicting a wound about Nix inches in breadth. It was with the sharp end of the axe. Oettand staggered off the wind lass, and right against the foremast. Amend made a blow at me ; I staggered back, and went against the wooden mast, singing out murder, murder—Mr. Geld, Mr. Gold (meaning the mate). I then saw Argenti standing against the forecastle, with the ase raised, ready to strike any one coining near him. A seaman named Wilson took the wounded man aft. The prisoners were close together when the blow was struck. I did not hear them speak. After it was done Argenti went up the rigging, with the axe in his hand, and Morrety followed. They remained aloft all aiiht. I saw nothing in Morrety's hand. Sumo captains belonging to other slope came on board, and tired blank shot, but the prisoners would not ease down. We kept sentry on them all night, and the next arnening there was a knife thrown down which I had lent to the sate, who ',Womb lost it to Matey. The remise eattor thin took them on board a steamboat, which took them to Mahal, whore the cotka.ll sent thr me, and we were taken to Quebec. The prisoner* were kept in irons. The woun ded man was taken aft, and laid on the cabin floor, where the wound was dre.wal. Ile died six days after. The case was remanded for a week. Mr. Yardley received 20/. for the poor-box, front the Goldsmiths' Company, beiug their manual donation. MARKETS. Dic. 31 . LivearooL, oi. The sales today are—Sugar, nuns.

EITSAORDINAST CONDUCT OF A SCSOPAN.— Under this heading we noticed, a few days since, an appli ration made to the Lancashire county magistrates on the 22nd ult., by a medical gentleman (Mr. Carr, of Itusholme, near Manchester) to re-open an investigation into the ' , causes of death of a child named Grundy, who, he alleged, hail died from a narcotic poison. It will be recollected that the magistrate refund the application, and that Mr. Carr then left the court, threatening an application to the Secretary of State. It now appears that Mr. Carr hail already applied to Sir George Grey, and the very morning after the case was dismissed Sir George Grey's commands were received both by magistrate and coroner, for a report of what had been done in tile case. Answers have of course been transmitted, enclosing the coroner's copies of the depositions at the inquest, and the Home Secretary has since replied to Mr. Carr, stating that the magistrates and coroner were the proper parties to whom Mr. Carr should apply in such a case, and that he could not interfere. Yesterday, Mr. Carr again made his ap pearance at the New Bailey Court-houw, producing Sir George Grey's letter, and renewing his application. The magistrates present were Mr. W. Entwiale, banker, and Capt. Whittaker Mr. Rutter, the mgistrates' clerk, stated that Sir George Grey (after receiving the depositions and a report upon the case) not having ordered a further investigation they had uo jurisdiction, unless Mr. Carr was prepared to go further and prefer a formal charge of murder.—Mr. Cart then rose under some excitement, and said he had preferred making the request for a re-investigation of the case, but as it had been refused he should now apply fur the home. diate arrest of Mr. G. V. Hicks, the surgeon who prescribed and supplied medicine fur the deceased child, on suspicion of causing the death of this child. He trusted the magis trates, however. would allow him (Mr Carr) a day or two longer to complete his evidence in the case, and as he was summing the character of a public prosecutor he thought in a case so serious they could not refuse his application.—The Court replied that it was a very serious application, and un less Mr. Carr had more evidence than he had as yet offered to them they could not comply.—Mr. Carr then left the court, stating that he should renew the application on Mon day neat. WRECK ON THE LONG SANDS. RARWICII Dee. 30.—During a heavy gale from the eastward on San day night a fine vessel, called the Arrow, Mr. H. Mitchin son master, belonging to the port of Liverpool, went on the Long Sands, and but for the noble and courageous conduct of a lugger's crew, every soul on board the ill-fated vessel would in all probability have perished. Every effort was made to get her off, but the fury of the gale and the heavy seas, which kept reeking a breach over her, completely act at defiance the exertions of thous on hued. At daylight they were observed by the smack Aurora's Increase, Mr. J. Lewis master, of this port, which was out cruising, and in the most prompt manner she bore down to the rescue of the unfortunate creatures clinging to the wreck, and took them off in an exhausted state. The smack then made for this port, and landed the poor fellows, who have publicly tendered their thanks to the lugger's crew for preserving them from a probable dreadful fate. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCKS DURING roe Foo.—Last evening Mr. W. Baker held an inquest at the Golden Lion, Cannon-street-road, on the body of Charles Austin, aged 20. The deceased was a watchman employed in the London Docks, and on Tuesday night, November 18, he was directed to go on duty to protect some goods on board the Emeliana, of Spain. The night was very dark, owing to the dense fog; and while he aas in the act of stepping front the gunwale of a barge he fell overboard. An alarm was raised by a police constable, but it is supposed that the deceased must have gone down head foremoet, and thereby got embedded in the deep mud, as the drags and other tackle could not reach him. On Monday one of the dock firemen was standing on the North Quay, Wapping, when the body suddenly came to the surface of the water, having been seven weeks missing , and being in we advanced state of decomposition. After some observatior.s from the coroner, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." AN EPISODE IN TIIE LAST FRENCH REVOLUTION. —A letter from Lorgues, published in the Gazette d• Lyon, gives some details relative to the circumstances which took place after the combat at Aupa. It lays,— " The soldiers had been told the house in which the pri soners were kept for three days was full of insurgents. The troops, being thus misled, fired on the house, while on the other side the reds were breaking in the doors to mur der these unfortunate men. M. Andreol de Laval, geeing that his friends were on the point of perishing, jumped out of a window on the second story to tell the troops not to fire, and cried out, ' Save the prisoners!' The soldiers, thinking that he was an insurgent who said, I surrender myself a prisoner,' replied, We give no quarter!' and 10 of them fired at him at two yards' distance. The prisoners then cried out, ' Ile is not en insurgent!' and all the soldiers raised their hands to Heaven. M. de Laval, believing that he was about to die, desired to clamp the captain's hand to intimate that he bore no enmity to him. He turned towards him, crying, ' I die satisfied, since I have saved my compa nions. Vine le AOth.' The captain rushed forward, exclaim ing, ' Oh, what a cause of regret !' Ile declares that he never beheld so great an instance of courage, and never would forget the scene before hint. M. de Laval received a wound in the foot, another in the shoulder, one near the I temple, and grains of shot from the insurgents in several I parts of the body ; ho has also a bayonet stab in the arm ; I his paletot has been pierced with nine balls; his cravat, cap, waistcoat, and boots are all torn to pieces with halls, and I yet he has not teethed a single severe wound; in fact, the I whale ease is quite a miracle. M. de Laval has determined that all his clothee shall be hung up at St. Ferreol, the place of the celebrated pilgrimage, sear harass." DAILY WEATHER TABLE.
