with fair weather. The use of implements, machinery, and foreign manure was gnir.ing ground, and attention was being paid to the keeping of stock on the esta tes. The island genera ll y was , ' healthy, a slight form of small-pox excepted. The reaping of the crop had occasioned some slight qty of teenage, bet as most of the regular trades* had arrived on their second voyage, this , wou ld speedily nail off. The amount of produce shipped to the latest dates is as follows :—Sugar, 25,209 hogsheads, 1853 tierces, and 5,064 barrels; molasses, 4,471 puncheous, 153 hogsheads, and 105 barrels. The St. Lucia papers state that the shock of an earthquake was felt them on the 16th ult. The , Bishop of Barbadoes was on a visit to the island. The Legislative Council was about to meet for the despatch of business prior to the departure for England of Lieutenant-Governor Darling, who would be temporarily succeeded in the administra tion of the affairs of the island by Lieutenant-Colonel The Antigua Register of May 27, has the follow ing The weather still continws wet. There has been much rain since our last publication ; as well as several slight shocks of earthquake. It is a matter of doubt with some planters whether the present state of the weather is calcu lated to do mews injury to the present than good to the coming crop. Ths general impression seems to be, that there has been quite enough of rain for the present, and ra ther more than was requisite for agricultural purposes. DUTCH GUIANA. Surinam papers are to the 23rd of May, and they contain some important government regulations for carrying into effect the royal order of the 6th of }'cbruary last respecting slaves. These regulations, which form an entirely new slave code, appear to be one groat step more made by the . government of the Netherlands towards final emancipation ; and, how ever they may be received by . the planters, they evince much solicitude for the improvement of the condition of the slaves. In defining the amount of labour to be rendered by the slaves on plantations, the principle adhered to in those regulations is not to fix the number of hours daily during which the slaves are bound to work, but the amount of work which shall be given by each able-bodied slave daily to his master. The principle therefore upon which slavery may now be considered to rest in the Dutch West - Indies, is that of compulsory task work. A letter Imm MeanatLkOf the 24th May says: The ; men that was accused of acting as a traitor has beau declared guilty by the tribunal and executed. Since then, there have been rumours of some intended invasion, but nothing definite is known. There seems to be no ex citement hem on the subject. Some men were recently brought her,-, from the interior, charged with being im plicated in projects of that nature. The government have strong (orris at their command—both military and naval — and it apjs'ars strange that men can be found to embark in such a mad enterprise. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

I THE EARTHQUAKE AT VALPARAISO. From a psasenger who was at Valparaiso during the earthquake on the 2nd of lut April, we learn that 260 houses were so much injured that they were quite unsafe and must come down. No lives were lost, but a great deal of property waa de stroyed in the houses injured by the heavy rain that fell immediately after the shock.

The weather during the morning was sultry and oppressive, but the thermometer did not indicate any considerable increase in the temperature of the atmosphere. The motion of the earth was observed to be less violent in some parts than in others not a hundred yards distant ; so much so, that old and decayed houses stood the shock better than others newly built, and those houses in the structure of which the most timber had been employed re mained with little injury. During the eventful it seconds the houses rocked too and fro as so many newels at sea. Not a breath of air was perceptible during the whole of the day, and slighter shocks continued at 6.46 minutes 6. iii minutes, 8.55 minutes, 10.55 minutes, and have continued ever since of more or less strength and duration, and at this moment of writing, on the 7th inst. at 11 p.m., a short but violent shock has driven the panic stricken inhabitants into the strata.

On the following day the space forming the Flue de la Victoria was entirely occupied by tents and wooden houses, various parts of the hills surrounding the town were also studded with them, affording a temporary refuge to those whose habitations had been destroyed, or whom terror prevented from remaining in their houses. A considerable number of persons have for some days taken up their quar ters on board; the ship -masters of all nations having promptly and generously offered such accommodation as their Yemen afforded to those who needed it. Much damage has been done in stores where liquids, glees, earthenware, the., are kept. We are happy to my not a single life ha s been lust, nor can we bear of • severe fracture. On the 4th inst., et twelve o'clock, p.m., it began to rain heavily, and continued to do so for nearly twelve hoar', which cooled the atmosphere considerably, but caused much additional damage in houses whose roofs and walls had been already injured by the earthquake and compelled those who had taken refuge in the plaza and were living in tents, to leave and seek shelter in the theatre, or with friends in the port. The loss is generally estimated, including the damage done to buildings at nearly one million dollars. The principal public buildings which have suffered are the custom-house, the Merced and Matrix churches, the euartel of the national guard, the hospital, and the church of St. Domingo. ' The scarcity of houses, so much felt before the earth quake by the fast increasing population of our city, hae . now reached its climax. Commissioners have been appointed to examine the edi fies., and to condemn those which are in a dangerous con dition. It is to be hoped that the constructors of houses will he in future more careful in the choice of materials, and study the mode best adapted for building in a country so subject to these visitations, as also that they will not trust too much to the received idea that those violent shocks only occur once in every twenty or thirty years. We were pleased to see the activity manifested both in the last tire and after the earthquake to repair the damage done. Almost within an hour atter the catastrophe we saw the workmen busy clearing the roofs of broken tiles, and the Amen of rubbish, and we think that the Unlearns tom an honourable exception to the indolence with which the Spanish race is generally reproached. Anthers has only been interrupted for one day (the ens tentrbeewe having been closed by order of the Intendente) bat has naturally suffered much by this occurrence. 111111111/.11 of Casa Blanca situated about thirty miles hum Ibises the Santiago road also suffered severely, and a gam number of houses were thrown down by the violence oftheebsek. The Image done in Santiago is similar to that in Valpa raiso, with the exception that as there are a greater number of public buildings in the capital, the pecuniary loss must be more severe. The principal buildings more or less damaged are the Mint, a lemel building, in part occupied as the resi des., of the president, the Cathedral, the churches of San Freesia" of the Compania, the old palace completely ruined, and a portion of the buildings occupied as govern ment Miss. The village of Renee, situated in the suburbs of Santiago, has been partially destroyed, and • singular phenomenon wee observed about three leagues from that city, where the wand opened la several plains, and considerable quanti ties of hot water were throws up. Let us hope that years may elapse ere we are again visited by sea a 1111sfortase, and thank God for the com paratively adhl seneequences of an event which might have proved wore diseshans. /311/111WICH ELECTION, YESTERDAY.

THE EXETER SYNOD. The following circular (says the Western Tinos) has been addressed by the bishop to the deans rural : June 12, 1341. Hennaed Sir,—l subjoin a copy of the Declaration on Sabina which will be proposed to the Diocesan Synod, together with two other copies of the same, which I request you to give to the two presbyters who may be deputed by your deanery. I send the declaration thus early, in order that there may be due eonalderation of it before we meet, and thus that the discussion on this main particular at the synod may be abridged. With this view, I further request that, if any important objection to any part of it suggest itself to yon, or any of the clergy to whom you may (as I much wish) communicate this paper, it may be stated to me es soon as shall be con venient. I trust that I shall not be misunderstood when I add that you will probably think it not advisable to urge any objec- Um which you do not deem important, for it is manifest that the consideration of other objections proceeding from so many quarters, might be very burdensome. All objec tions which you deem important shall be duly weighed. I request that this paper be not suffered to reach the public press. The communication of it to you at this time is for the sake of ensuring to yourself and others of the clergy an opportunity of fully considering it before it shall be finally proposed for adoption. I am, Rey. Sir, Your faithful friend and brother, H. Enna. DECLARATION, Adverting to the eirenostaneas of the time in which we are called to minister in this !Armed 13:anch of the church of Christ, we deem it merssary to declare our firm and im moveable adherence to that great article of the faith—" One baptism for the remission of sans," affirming it as it is autho ritatively set forth in the Nicene Creed 11. Oecumenical Council, and as it is taught unequivocally by our own church in its authorised formularies, especially in the offices of bap tism, and in the catechism ; and we are the rather induced to make this declaration, because we hope that many who are now divided from us may be brought to agreement by thus knowing the real meaning and extent of the doctrine which we hold. 1. Acknowledging "one baptism for the remission of sins," we hold as of faith, that persons duly baptised are not only baptised once for all, but also are baptised with the one baptism of Him who " baptiseth with the Holy Ghost," and who thus making us to be " born again of water and the spirit," delivered us thereby from the guilt and bondage of all sins o rig inal and actual. Was bold, as implied in the aforesaid article of the Creed, all tins graces ascribed to baptism in our Catechism. For— " Brine spirit we are all baptised into one body," even the bo4iir Jesus Christ. We are all made to be " His body," -mile in particular of " His body," " members of Clahr—oesi being than baptised into them, we are " bap tist* bib by death " who " died for our sins." We are "ball with Him," " dead unto sin," " buried by baptism wig IL, wherein also we are risen with Him," " quick ened togralsor with Him," „ set together in heavenly places la Christ kass." Believing that the Holy Ghost so given as in baptism by Jesus Christ, that we are in Him "created anew.' We believe, also, that we are children a( God in Him, and "if children, then heirs,—heirs of Cad, said *at heirs with Christ," inheritors of the Kinston; of Heaven. 2. We hold accordingly that all infants presented either in church or privately, according to the book of Common Paper, and baptis , with water in the " name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," being spiritually engrafted and incorporated into His mystical body; original sin being so fir from an obstacle to the right reception of baptism, that as St. Augustine says, "In fants, because they are not as yet guilty of any actual sin, have the original sin that is in them remitted through the grace of Him who saveth by the washing of regeneration." And as our own church declares that the baptised child, " being born in original sin, and in the wrath of God, is by the laver of regeneration in baptism received into the num ber of the children of God, and heirs of everlasting life, for' ' our Lord Jesus Christ doth not deny His grace and mercy unto such infants, but most lovingly calls them unto him." And in accordance herewith, the 27th article expressly says that the baptism of young children is most agreeable with the institnUon of Christ. 3. Without presuming to define whether it may not please God to live a la ger measure of grace in bapusnl to some infants, in answer to the snore earnest prayer of those who bring them, we hold that if many shall affirm that the imparting of the aforesaid graces in the baptism of young children is hypothetical, depending either on the sincerity of those who present them, or any other conditions (where upon it follows, that in cases in which the said conditions do not take place, both the form of baptism itself, and the ar ticle " One Baptism for the Remission of Sins," must be understood not as true, but as false and unreal) ho doth greatly err, contradicting an article of the creed, and also the commission and promise given to the Apostles by Our Lord Himself. 4. Lastly, we hold, and would earnestly impress upon all Christians, that the foregoing statements, rightly under stood, so far from disparaging the need of conversion and amendment, arc a most powerful incentive to holiness of life, and especially to fervent prayer for renewed or con tinued grace, as long as the term in this life shall last. For baptism, being the ordinance and instrument of Christ, by which we are born again of the spirit, John 111., 3,5, st binds m to do that which it enables us to do, " to walk in the spirit, and not to fulfil the lusts of the Scab, for if we live after the; flesh, we shall die ; but if through the spirit we do mortify the deeds of the body, we shall live. Bap tism makes our bodies to be temples of the Holy Ghost, which is in us, which we have of God, and if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy,--for the temple of God is holy, wherefore it follows that they who having in baptism received the Holy Spirit to dwell in them, live not after the spirit, but after the flesh, do there by draw on themselves greater damnation, unless by the grace of God they arise again and amend their lives. AMERICA AND THE PACIFIC. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRSEL Sir,—lt is very humiliating to us as Britons to find that the Yankees have made Galway. steam-packet station. I told our government in January last that unless they im• mediately decided on making it such Brother Jonathan would do so for them. Our capitalists must now take up the matter. British America and a railway through it to the Pacific Ocean should now be the meet absorbing ques tion with us if we desire to maintain our supremacy in the Pacific. Unless we immediately decide on making this railway, Brother Jonathan will settle that matter also for us, by making a similar railway through the United States.—l am, air, yours, tic., As ENOLICUMAN.—June 20, 11851. THREE ADDITIONAL STEAMERS are about to be put on the line of _packets running between Liverpool, Southampton, and Havre. EXTRAORDINARY OFFENCE.—At the Melton Mow bray County Court, held on the Bth instant, William Un derwood, farmer, of Gaddesby, broaght an action against James Messenger, farmer, of the same place, and Benjamin Buxton, his servant, for scattering a quantity of charlock or kedlock seed, amongst the plaintiff's wheat, growing in a field called Date-hill, containing five acres, and immedi ately adjoining the and of Messenger. on the 27th of February plaintiff went to this field with his son, for the purpose of railing it. He discovered that it lad recently bias sera all over with charlock. There were footmarks up sad lowa each land. He noticed marks where a sash sad • beam had evidently been set, and the hopper appeared to have had two holes in the bottom, as there were two little beeps ar seam et said within the impression of the hopper. Phiatiff immediately secured the assist awe of Wrenn, as stave sad Intelligent police.constablc, steamed at Frisby, who took Buxton to the field, and com pared, bapressions hem his shess with the footmarks there. They sloeely corresponded, and there were other singular adacidences, to to show that Buxton was the guilty piety; it aot appeared also that on the night of th e le t h, B ox " tea hid slept at his own house at Reapers, but at tit=s basso, at Oaddarby.

" I might here stop, hut I cannot relinquish the opportu nity of saying a few words on that subject which, above all others, attracts your attention—namely, the condition of the agricultural interests—and of expressing the sympathy which I sincerely feel for the occupiers of land in the strug- 1 gle they arc now undergoing from the sudden and violent change which has taken place in the price of corn. I wil lingly acknowledge that it would have been much better had the abolition of the corn laws been more gradually ef fected, but it must not be forgotten that such a course was rendered impossible by the conduct in parliament of those who loudly proclaimed themselves the farmers' friends. " 1 beg you to observe how great is the difference between that protection which you have lost and that which the leaders of the tory party propose to restore to you. At the election in 1817, Sir W. Biwyer Smijth most strongly de clared his intention, if returned to parliament, to use his best endeavours to restore protection. What he might have done it is not for me to say, but it is remarkable that from that time to this no member on the con servative side of the house has proposed any import duty whatever on corn. Even he hims:df, has strangely altered his opinion on this subject, for last year he stated that he was prepared to vote for a fixed duty of ISs. or 20s. per quarter, but this year he pledges himself to pin his faith to Lord Stanley, who lately declared his intention to make one inure effort, and one only, to obtain what he called a moderate fixed duty on corn, that is, as all men believe, to increase the duty on wheat from le. to ds. " Now I freely admit, considering the burdens which are imposed on the occupiers of land, that there might not be an insuperable objection to a small increase of the duty on corn, provided such an alteration would restore their pros perity ; but it is my opinion, and it is one in which many farmers concur, that a Js. duty would confer but little, it any, benefit upon them ; that the price of corn would be only slightly increased by it, and that the reduction in rents and expenses, which is now taking place, and which will, as time goes on, be still greater, would be interrupted. " Recollect, hen, gentlemen, that a fire shilling duty is the utmost which you can expect even from Lord Stanley himself—that this small protection can be secured only by a desperate struggle—that its permanent continuance would be more than doubtful—and that its possession would, at best, be of little value. " I am bound, moreover, to say, that I am fully convinced of the benefits conferred by the measure of free trade on the working classes of this country ; and whatever protcc tionist orators may tell you. I am satisfied that the people of England wiil never consent to return to that system of high protection which you arc sometimes encouraged to expect. " Sincerely wishing you all prosperity and success, " I am, geutlemen, your obedient servant, " EDWARD N. BUXTON. " 10, Upper Grosvenor-street, 'one 17th, 1841." REPRESENTATION OF AllislllßE.—Mr. A. Oswald, the present member for the county of Air,. has publicly an nounced his resolution of not again o ff ering himself' as a candidate for the representation of that county. The Ayr AdrrrUser says with reference to Mr. Oswald's declaration We confess the announcement has taken us somewhat by surprise, as our representative assigns no reason whatcrer, except the appearance of a Protectionist rival, for yielding up his position without a contest. With his sentiments as to the necessity of free trade, and the probability of the question being now finally settled, we entirely concur ; and we think these are the sentiments of a majority of his con stituency : and it is on this account we wonder he should so alletly, by retirement, acknowledge the superior claims of Ns opponent." VICE-ADMIRAL SIR CIIARLEi MALCOLM, whose death is just announced, was son of the late George Mat ilda, Esq., of Burofoot, County Dumfries, by Margaret, pister of Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, who was created a net for his gallantry in the action of June 1, 1791. Three of his brothers attained to considerable eminence, Sir James Malcolm, X..C.8., colonel of marines, having been with Lord Howe at the relief of Gibraltar, and having served in the war in Spain and in North America ; another brother being Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, 0.C.8., G.C.M.G. ; and a third was the late Sir John Malcolm, G.C.8., a general officer in the army. Vice- Admiral Sir C. Malcolm entered the service in 1791, and embarked as midshipman on board the Fox, 32, com manded by his brother, Captain Pulteney Malcolm, in April, 1794, fitting for the EWA Indies. lie was master's mate in that vessel when in 1798, in company with La Sybille, 38, she entered the Spanish har bour of Manilla under French colours, and notwith standing that three ships of the line and three frigates were lying there, succeeded in capturing seven boats, and 200 men with a large quantity of ammunition and implements of war. After further service in the Fox, he accompanied his brother into the Suffolk, 74, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Ranier, when ho was promoted to a lieu tenancy. On the 28th of May 1802, he was confirmed as acting commander of the Albatross; and on arriving home in command of the Eurydice, 21, in 1803, he found he had been promoted to post rank. In 1801 he was appointed to the Raisounable, 61, and in 1806 to the Narcissus, 32, in which vessel on the night of the 30th of October 1807, he made a desperate attack with four boats on a convoy of thirty sail lying in Coquet-roads, near Brest, and which were under the protection of several heavy batteries and gun brigs; he was eventually obliged to retire with a Loeser seven men killed and 16 wounded, including himself slightly. Towards the close of the same year he was the chief instru ment of preserving the property of the British at Oporto from the French. In 1809 be sailed to the West Indies with Intelligence of a French squadron having sailed thither ; and iu April iii that year he distinguished himself by his conduct on shore at the capture of the Salutes Islands. In June, 1809, he was appointed to the command of the Rhin, 38, and was employed in very active co-operation, in that ves sel, with the patriots on the north coast of Spain. He subse quently served in this vessel in the West Indies and on the toast of Brazil ; and on the 18th of July, 1815, he landed at the head of a body of seamen and marines from the Ithin, Menelaus, and Havannali frigates, at Corrijoa, near Aber- Tack, and stormed and carried a fort, and, with further assistance, effected the capture of a cutter and other armed boats, together with a convoy reposing in top harbour under their protection. This was the last exploit of the kind achieved during the war. Whilst in the Xarcissits and Rhin, Captain Malcolm, being in command of small flying squadrons, took, independently of a host of merchantmen, upwards of 20 privateers, carrying 168 guns and 1,0)9 men. In July, 1822, he was appointed to the William and Mary royal yacht, lying at Dublin, in atten dance on the Lord-Lieutenant, and in 1826 to the Royal Charlotte yacht, on the same service, on leaving which (having been knighted by the Irish Viceroy) he was ap pointed superintendent of the Bombay marine. He con tinned in this office ten years, and effected great improve ments and a complete and valuable revulsion in the admi nistration of Indian naval affairs. In January. 1637, be attained to the rank of rear-admiral. Sir Charles Malcolm married in 1808 his cousin Magdalene, daughter of Charles Palley, Esq., by whom he had issue one daughter; and in 1829, Elmira Riddell, daughter of Major-Oeneral Shaw, by whom he had issue three sons. --.„ DRAM OF SIR DAVID Scorr, BART.—We have to announce the demise of Sir David Scott, Dart., K.H., who expired on Wednesday last, at his town residence in Gloucester-place. Sir David, who was eldest son of Mr. David Scott, was born on the 25th of July, 1782, and was married on the 28th of March, 1807, to Miss Caroline Grin dell, daughter of Mr. Benjamin ()riodell, of the Bengal Civil Service. The deceased succeeded his uncle, Sir James Sibbald Scott, agreeable to the patent in remainder, on the 17th of September, 1819. The late baronet is succeeded by his eldest son, James Sibhald Baird Scott. The late Sir David Scott represented Yarmouth for some years in the House of Commons. _ CORPORATION.—Yesterday • public examination of the scholars who are receiving their education under the auspices of this corporation, took piece at the institution in St. John's Wood-road, before the Bishop of Loudon, the Bishop of Bangor, the Rev. Dr. Russell, the Rev. T. Wharton, incumbent of St. John's Wood chapel, and other clergymen. The gfrls and boys numbered between 40 and 50, and the subjects in which they were examined were scriptural history, geography, and general history, French, Greek, and various other branches of study. The Bishop of London expressed his high satisfaction at the manner in which the pupils, more especially the girls, had answered the questions put to them ; and at the close of the ceremony the right reverend prelate distributed a few p r i ses which had been previously awarded by the instructors, and also directed that a gra tuity from himself should be apportioned amongst the more deserving scholars, as the examining masters miAt think fit. The boys then sang " Dulce Domum," wkich was followed by a selection of music, performed by the girls to accompaniments on the pianoforte. The ceremony vie altogether one of much interest.

This was enaction brought by the plaintiff against the I Company for 29 months' salary, at 404 per month. The defendants pleaded as to ll months' payment, and as to I the remaining seven months—let, that the plaintiff did not serve ; and secondly, that an arrangement was made by which the plaintiff was to have leave of absence and re ceive a decreased salary ; and there was another set of pleas which raised a question whether the plaintiff was a her vantwithin the meaning of the acts of parliament, which prohibit the payment of salaries to officers or servants of the Company during their absence from the presidency to which they belonged. It appeared from the statement of the case that the plaintiff was appointed by deed to act as engineer, and to proceed to Bombay to superintend the building of steam failed; he had becq . 11Bie gin nt es O t n il l e e r ae ; 7 an d '' Ilis th h e eal rea th l )l ;C: l4 tion between the parties was whether the plaintiff was entitled to be paid the full salary of4ol. per month, and was entitled to a year's notice of dismissal under the terms of the contract. Lord Campbell intimated that the plaintiff could not be., considered as coming within the terms of the act of parlia ment referred to. It was then arranged that the case should be turned into a special case, for the purpose of taking the opinion of the court upon the construction of the contract. . WILLIS v. SYTTIL—ASSAULT AT THE HOUNSLOW HAM/ACES. The plaintiff in this case was a sheriff's officer, and the defendant the lieutenant-colonel of the 16th Lancers. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for an alleged assault by the defendant in striking the plaintiff, and turning him out of the barrack-yard at Hounslow. The filets of the ease appear fully from the evidence.— Strong was called on behalf of the plaintiff, and swore that he was assistant to Mr. Willis, the sheriff's *film. On the 22nd of April last he went down with the plaintiff and Harrington, an attorney's clerk, to arrest a Mr. Smith, who was a cornet in the 16th Lancers, for a debt of 70!. due to a boobnaker. lie went into the barracks first, and found Cornet Smith in his room, which was on the second fluor. Plaintiff and the attorney's clerk came iu about ten minutes after. Cornet Smith asked them to re tire while he dressed. They did so. Witness remained outside the door, and heard a scuffle going on below. Ile heard somebody say, " There is another up stairs." Then five or six officers came up. He did not know the first that addressed him, but it was the orderly by his belt. lie , told them his business, and showed the warrant. The orderly said if he did not go away he would fetch a carbine and put a bullet through hint. Another (alien. (he believed Captain Dashwood) said, " Don't do that ; put him out of window." Cornet Smith then came out and said, " For God's sake, gentlemen, what is all this about ? 1 will go and speak to the colonel." He immediately ran down stairs, and witness followed him. Did not hear what he said to the colonel, but the colonel answered, " I)—n their eyes, they shall not do as they like in my barracks." He could then see the plaintiff being marched out by two soldiers. They were then nearly across the yard. Harrington, the attorney's clerk, was with Wills. The &foldout did not speak to him (the witness) ; he stood on the step of the door. Cornet Smith went up stairs again, and he (witness) followed him and remained there I two hours in his room. Other officers joined him;: they had wine and cigars, and witness sat down and had a couple of glasses. He then took Smith away in a brougham, . which Smith had sent for. Witness promised to take him to his attorney, and take his undertaking, and not to loek ' him up, and then he agreed to go. When they got outside t. the barrack-yard they found plaintiff and Harrington. - There were sentries at the gate. On cross-examination he said the attorney gave a cheque for the debt, and the cornet was discharged. Harrington was the next witness called. lie said he was ' 20 years old, and an attorney's clerk, and aceontpanied the sheriff's officer to identify Smith ; that when he got into the barracks ho went up-stairs with plaintiff, and Strong saidit was all right ; he then turned to go down stairs, when he was seized by an officer who asked him what he want•xl. Ile answered that he was on her Majesty's service. The officer said, " that will not do ; whom du you want ?" lie (witness) did not tell him, not wishing to expose Smith.. The officer then dragged him down stairs, and said with an oath, "We will soon see." lie dragged him to the colonel, and said, " This youngster will not tell his business." . Witness then told the colonel he had told the officer he was on her Majesty's service, and he afterwards told him that he wanted Cornet Smith. But he did not do that until the colonel had held up his whip, and called him a G— • d—d imp of a bitch. The plaintiff then came down stairs and witness spoke to him. the colonel then said, " Here comes another 0— d—d hop of a hitch—out with them Loth." Plaintiff then said he had better mind what he was about, as he (plaintiff) was an officer, us well as himself; upon which the colonel said he did not care a d— who he was. They were making use of the barracks us if they were their own, and he then took plaintiff by the collar, and gave him a tremendous posh, and sent hint off the steps into the bar rack yard. He then called a corporal who was on the other side, and said to him, " Turn these two fellows out, and don't let them pick their way." The corporal . obe3red, and pushed them out of the yard, and they waited in the rain about two hours till the cornet was brought out. Oa cross-examination he said he had not been three 'dilutes in the barracks before the colonel spoke to him. The colonel did not ask hint what he meant by being in the Queen's service'; he (witness) did nut say to the colonel, "You think yourself a very fine fellow, I dare say;' nor . scything to that effect. One man walked them out, and not two, as was stated by the other witness. i A letter was then put n from the plaintiff to the colonel, demanding an apology ; and no answer, denying having ever assaulted the plaintiff, but admitting that he had turned an insolent lad out of the barracks when there was another person with him, and refusing any apology. Mr. James addressed the jury for the defendant, and said he should call all the officers who were present to show the real nature of the transaction, which was, that the attorney's clerk was very insolent and was turned out, and the plain tiff was never interfered with in any way. Patrick l)ynon called, who said he was the adjutant to the regiment, and on the 22nd April was conversing with the colonel outside the officers' barracks. Remembered two persons coming in. They came across to where they were standing. The colonel asked hint who those fellows were, and what was their business: he said he supposed they were some people going to the messman. They passed on without taking any notice of them, and went into the barrack. The colonel said, "Go after them, and see what they want." Witness then followed them upstairs, and when he got to the top saw one of them, the clerk. Ito ' spoke to him, and asked him who he was, and what his business was. He said be should not tell him • he had no right to inquire. Witness said he had the right to inquire, for he was adjutant of the regiment, and it was his duty to know the business of every person who came to the barracks. Harrington then said be was on the Queen's service, and refused to tell him more. He then said, " Very well, come this way and we will see," and pointed to the direction of the passage by which he had come up. Harrington went on before till they came to where tho colonel was, and witness then said to the colonel" This is one of the parties who said he is on the Queen's service, and refuses to say more." The colonel Own said to Ilarrington, " What do you mean by the Queen's service ?" He replied, he should not tell him, it was no business of his. The colonel then said, "Go out of the yard, you brat, or I will have you kicked out." Itarrington said, " You cannot and dare not do it." An orderly came up at the moment, and the colonel said, " Turn that brat out of the barracks, and see him out." The lad then went away with the orderly, and kept turning round and using taunting expressions to wards the colonel. When lie got about 20 yards off, he said, "You think yourself a very fine fellow, but I will make you pay for this." The orderly was still follow ing him. The colonel never touched him, or offered to do so. Ile had raised up his hand, pointing the way he was to go. When the lad and orderly were got about 30 yards towards the gate, the plaintiff came out of the main entrance, at rather a quick pace, and joined the lad and orderly voluntarily, and went out of the barrack yard. lie did not speak to the colonel nor the colonel to him, nor did the colonel touch him. On cross-examination), he denied that the colonel swore in the manner imputed to hint; he did swear sometimes. lie must have seen it if the colonel had struck plaintiff. In corroboration of this testimony, the orderly was called, as were also Captain Heaviside and Captain Burton, who saw the whole of the proceedings, and Cornet Smith, who spoke only to what took place up stairs. These witnesses all denied, positively, the story of the and the butquage isnini - ed to th w ecolonel. • Wilkins addressed the -v in rr Mr. f3;njeant 41 jury in reply. ' Lord Campbell summed up the evidence wry minutely. The jury retired, and, after an absence of about an hour, returned into court, and gave a verdict for defendant. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-tiE , TERDAY.

IV., c. 83, Dots NOT EXTEND TO CASES OP ABANDONMENT OP ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. Tho point in this case was reserved by Mr. Justice Wightman. The defendant was indicted for abandoning her child, with intent to defraud the parish, and there was another count, charging her with an attempt to defraud the overseers of the poor. The prisoner was found guilty, but the learned Judge havi ng h e ld t h a t t h e statute 5 Geo.- IV., c. 83, sec. 4, kad reference only to legitimate children, the case was reserved for the opinion of this court. Mr. Phinn, on behalf of the prosecution, now asked the opinion of the court, as the object of the present indictment was not the puni s h m e n t of the defendant, who had been I liberated on her own recognisances, but to obtain a decision which might procure an alteration of the law. The ques tion submitted for the decision of the court was, whether, if a mother abandoned her illegitimate child, with intent to cause other persons to mai n t a i n th a t child, it was an indict able offence at common law? The Lord Chief Baron said the court were unanimously of opinion that the indictment could not be maintained. It was, no doubt, an offence in the parent to neglect n but it was not alleged here that the child hai sustained any injury through the set of the mother, nor did it appear that the mother had any means of providing for it. ' With reference to the supposed injury to the • parish, he did not find any authority for saying that any rson who was the occasion of a possible loss to the Parish by leaving it to maintain the casual poor, was t indictable. It might be quite consistent with all the alle gations of the indictment, that the woman being enable to
