She was first told -' me , Mr. Hemp in April, 1861, and she was told by Mr. .in.-% Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk) explained to the learned magistrate that the warrant had never actually been issued. He (Mr. Burnaby) had withheld it, in consequence of a communication from Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe, and in fact it had not been placed in the hands of the warrant officers. General Nelson had attended this morning of his own free will. TM., was the plaintiff'', case. Mr. Coleridge then addressed the jury for the defence, 43.1 whilst admitting that a case had been made out such to require an answer, he sa id th a t no d ou bt the jury .4...51y felt that there were many circumstances which aired explanation. He characterised Mr. Turner .• th . Mack cloud which had overhung Mr. John Kamp • .r..; hie short career.

The learned 4 , 1 .461 that if the question had been as to the legi t sy of the child born in 1557, he must admit that suspicion there might be, yet as the v titned legitimacy provided there were mean I; the husband to his wife, he could not prove • - znaaicy. But the plaintiff having been born in 1%2, he believed that he should show that be- IS.SS and leGi Mr. and Mrs. Hamp had no inter. whatever, and it was believed never once saw each t or : but in hell, a reconciliation was patched up at the 1.4.15ce of Mr. lfiunp Aaiuna and their intercourse was sad. Mr. Sheen—Colonel Nelamed friends communicated with me to the effect that he intended to present himself here to-day, and I therefore took upon myself not to have the warrant served, but to keep it back. Sir Thomas Henry—Very good. General Nelson, the against you—l may as well state it in language sa fl i re a e r rnm technicality as possible—is that you were eon cerned in causing the death of George W m. fronton, by hay. ing approved of the sentence of death passed by the oourt martial, presided over by Lieutenant Brad, which sen tence was, it is alleged by the prosecution, illegaL That is the charge preferred. Sufficient depositions will be read over to-day to justify me in remanding you till Tues day next, when the case will he gone into. Mr. Sheen—l suppose, Sir Thomas, it will be sufficient to repeat the portion of the depositions read yesterday in the case of Lieutenant Brand, viz. those of Dr. Fiddes and Mr. Lewis. Then with regard to the question of bail. I informed Colonel Wright, who is a friend of Colonel Nelson, that I anticipated that you would ask for his own recognisances of and two sureties of SOW. each. You named a lower sum yesterday. Sir Thomas Henry—There is no reason why any differ ence should be made. You were hardly justified in assuming that I should require more in one ease than in the other. Mr. Shaen—lt was before that—before you fixed the amount. However, I understand that Colonel Nelson has some provided wirh bail to the amount I mentioned. Sir Thomas Henry—You need not go into that. The depositions having been read over, Sir Thomas Henry said—That is all the evidence that will be taken to.lay, and I think it will be better for you to refrain from saying anything on the present occasion. On Tuesday there will be a full opportunity for you or your legal adviser to make any statement or observations which you may think advisable. I understand that your bail are berg% Ilk i Pd.

The liberal catholic* of the republic speak of organising • Mexican church independent of the Holy See. Without wishing to fall into heresy, they intend to separate from the papal hierarchy, to which they attribute the invasion of Mexico and the attempts at imperialism. A bishop of the new church is already elected ; he is one of the most en lightened men of the Mexican clergy. Don Rafael Diaz Martinez. To predict the fate of this project would be rash, but it appears to us to be sufficiently conformable to the views of the Mexican patriots for us to believe in the possibility of its success. The new schism has received the baptism of blood.

Ups o'Ompoz. English government securities continue in good demand, and Consols exhibit a fresh rise of per cent.

Your committee trust that the same sense of justice which has actuated the British government in respect to the claims of American citizens will also actnate the Federal govern ment in respect to the claims of British subjects arising out of the cotton loan, founded as they are upon the recognised principles of international law. In conclusion, your committee believe that as satisfactory settlement inrespect to yourelainas cannot be delayed, with out seriously damaging the credit of both Northern and Southern States; and as your committee are fighting the battle of all those who are interested in supporting the prin• ciple of International Law, especially as regards loans and contracts, they confidently expect such powerful political, and have secured such influential commercial, support, in onlertocarryoutwhatevermeasures may be requisite on the final arrangement of this loan, that they are induced to caution the bondholders against parting with their pro perty at prices utterly inconsistent with its real value.

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY FlNANCE.—Between midsummer and Christmas List, notwithstanding the cattle plague, the cholera, and the financial panic, the Great Eastern actually earned all but a million of money. The gross sum taken for business done duriug these six months was not less than 996,213/. 19s. 6d., and as only 512,61 W. 4s. 2d. was spent in earning it, it follows that a net profit of 483,1,77/. 15s. 4d. was realised upon the work of the half-year. If the property of the company were unencumbered, this would afford a dividend of lu per cent. to the shareholders; but, unfortunately, the state of affairs is very different. The company upon coming into possession of this handsome surplus has first to provide a sum of no less than 273.146/. 15s. 11. L for rents to other companies,interest on mortgages and deben tures, and charges for temporary loans. liven this tre mendous sweep, however, would still leave 214,249/. 1 Is. Rl. available for payment of dividends ; but, unfor tunately. again. this item most be widely expanded, for there are numerous preferential shareholders who are en titled to satisfaction before the ordinary proprietary. These claimants intercept a further sum of 214,2467.41.9 th, so that after the final substraction a net balance of just M. 7s. 2d. is all that can be " brought down" out of the half million of surplus with which the account began.
