WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The African !Royal Mail steam-ship Armenian arrived at Liverpool yesterday with the mails from the West African coast, Teneriffe, and Madeira. Rer dates are :—Benin, Nov. 24 ; Fernando Po, 29 ; Cameroon, 30 ; Old Calabar, Dec. 2 ; Brass River, 4 ; New Calabar, 7 ; Bonny, 7 ; Lagos, 11 ; ♦ccra, 12 ; Cape Coast Castle, 14 ; Cape Palmas, 17 ; Sierra Leone, 24 ; Bathurst, 27 ; Teneriffe, Jan. 2 ; and Madeira, 4. She brings 1,023 ounces of gold dust, 2,551 sovereigns, and 1,3')7 Spani.h dollars, together with 23 passengers. _ _ The Armenian left Benin on the 24th November, Though trade was then dull, the river was quite healthy. The health of Fernando Po was very good, and trade had somewhat relapsed into a rather dull state. Her Majesty's ship Torch, while on a passage from the south coast to the Island of Ascension, sprung a leak, and was compelled to put into Fer nando Po. The Torch was discharging when the Armenian left, preparatory to being beacbed, so that Ler injuries might be examined and repaired. At Cameroons little or no trade was being trans acted, and the native tribes were giving much an soyance and trouble to the European residents. They attempted to burn down one of the mission houses. Fortunately the fire was discovered in time to pre vent any serious damage being dune. The trade at Old Calabar continued to be stop ped, and was still likely to be so fur some time to come. King Eyo H. had made peace with the Blooduien, and would immediately return to Creek town. A good oil season was anticipated. At Brass trade was dull, and the place rather unhealthy, as several cases of sickness were reported in the river. Trade was improving at Bonny, and the river continued healthy. The country around Lagos remained in a very unsettled state, and the roads to the interior by which communication and trade are carried on with the interior were closed, andennisqueutly all binds of commercial business were entirely stopped. Governor Freeman resumed his governorship on the 22nd November, and Commander Glover had announced his intention of returning to England by the neat mail. Her Majesty's cn..., , u1, Captain Burton, bad arrived iu H.M.S. Antelope, on his way to Dahomey, where he intended remaining three months the guest of the King. Acou, DEL 12—Trade much improved during the month. CAPE Coast.—Preparations were being made for the troops to start for the bush to meet the Ashantee... There was a great scarcity of water when the Armenian left. Trade although dull had improved Minx last mail. Commodore Wilmot, on board Ii.M.S. Rattlesnake, was to leave Cape Coast fe,r Bathurst on thelBth. The Armenian, of Cape Palmas, passed the R.M.S. Athenian. From Sierra Leone there is no news of importance, and trade was dull. The Elizabeth had arrived at Bathurst, from London, and had exl.,rienced very heavy weather. The R. M. S. Macgregor Laird had arrived at Teneriffe, and would sail the same day for the coast. The English war steamers Defence, Warrior, Black Prince, and Edgar had arrived at Teneritfe, and would remain four or !i ve days. At Madeira, on January 4, it was wits. great difficulty that the mails could be got off, in consequence of the heavy sea running, and the Armenian was detained six hours in con sequence. - - - NAVAL AND MILITARY.

A CHASE £FT!R TR!: WRONG l 4 HIP. —An exciting chase took place a few days since off the tart of Brest in cousequeoce of the commander of the Federal corvette Kervesips mistaking the French war steamer Renau.lin for the Giotederate corvette Florida. The Kerseage was erni.iiia off Calmat, watching for the Florida, having received orders to attack the Confederate steamer on her quitting Brest. Tile Renaudio, which rseetubles the Florida, was gum, out to sea, and was passim lroise,wbea the cap tain of tie Kenesge gave chase. The commander of the Freozh ship bails; made himself kaown, the captain of the Rename hastened to apologise. This inc4ec!, it appears, has attracted the *unitive of the Preach naval authorites, and proved to them that the captain of the American steamer may i ivoluntatily attack his adversary in French waters, d which Ise ia not well acquainted with the bousdaries. The port admiral at Brent has conswfsently given cedars that the staionahipeif•the-line Wapiti: shall watch the =ammonia of the two ships, and prev en t th em from ee . pgicg to French wakes. The Florida, moreover, is not yet raid) , for sea. She inadeatrial trip on the 6th lest., sad stewed ea far as Cowling.

TOONO. _ The object of thia suit was to obtain a declaration of the court as to the proper construction of the will of the late Francis Coast, Esq., formerly chairman of the Middlese x Sermons, who died in 1839, leaving a very considerable smouat of property, both real and personal. By bin will, dated April, 109, after appointing his nephew, H. B. Coles. W. Dunn, and the Mordant, Henry Young, his executors and trustees, hirdevised led bequeathed the remidue of hie property to his said nephew H. B. Coles for his life ; sad the will then prooseded as follows: " And from and after the decease of my said nephew, providing he shall leave any child or children him surviviag, or who shell be born in due time after hie decease lawfully begotten, then I declare and direct that my said executors shall stand and be poseeeeed of my mid residuary estate upoe trust for such per sons sad kw such soda aad purposes as my said Nephew shall by his last will a me nd testament direct or appoint, give, devise, or bequeath the same, but if ,my said nephew shall without leaving any child or chil -1 dies him surviving or who shall be born in due time after his decease lawfully begotten, and the said H. B. Colas, my uephow, shall not previous to his decease make any imch appoentment, gift, or bequest, as aforesaid, then I declare that my saidexecutore shall eland sad beiossessed of all my I said residuary estate, Re., upon trust for and be to divided between the following persons, that is to say, Richard Barker (since deoeeaed), the said Henry Young my execrator, and June' Ryland, and to and for their beim, executors, and administratoes, and I hereby give and bequeath the same accordingly." Mr. Coles, who was the heir-at-law and sole next of kin of Mr. Coast, died in November, 1862, without ever having bad a child, uor was any born to bins after his death. Hs lac a will, however, affecting to d i spose of the residue of Mr. Const's property, on the amumptioo either that he bad under the above-gated gift over an implied power so to do, though he left no child, or that in the events which bad happened there was an intestacy as to the residue under Mr. Count's will, in which case it would have devolved on him as heir-at-law and pest of kin. The ques tion now WY whether or not Mr. Coles' will operated as • valid appointment under the power contained in Mr. Coast's will. The Attorney. General and Mr. Bird were for the plain tiffs, and contended against the validity of the appoint ment. Sir Hugh Cairns and Mr. H. Shabbier, for Mr. Young, supported the same view ; and lir. W. M. James, Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Baggalley, Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Ren shaw appear e d in the same interest. Sit F. Kelly, Mr. Hobhouse, Mr. Drums, and Mr. Earle for the execaton and appointees of Mr. Coles. aP ;: g a re cl i ssi was argued last sittings, when judgment was reserved. Hie Honour now gave his decision, and said the bat argument urged for the plaintiffs was, that Use word " and" in the gift over ought to be read " or," whoa, ore of the two events having happened, the gift over took effect. Another contention was that " and " meant " and also," which his Honour said he thought was equivalent to the first argument. Neither of these views, however, could be supported. The real question was, whether Mr. Coles, never laving had a child, had any power to dispose of the property ; and upon this his honour said be was at opinion that no power ever arose in Mr. Coles. Upon his death, therefore, the residue was divi.ible among those to whom it was given over by Mr. Coast's will. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.—JAN. 12. Sittings hi B►nco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Mellor.) LACY C. RBTA. This was an action under the Dramatic Authors' Copy right Act to recover penalties for representing a piece called " The Roll of the Drum," whiten by the late Mr. Thomas Wilkes, and assigeed by his executors, both with regard to the copyright for publication and also the acting right. The ease came on first fur trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and in order to support his assignment the plaintiff had to put in the letters of administration. The arson were sworn at the time they were takes out as under 201.. and did not requires stamp. The copyright was after wards sold to the plaintiff for • sum which made the assets more than U., so that a stamp would be required. An objection was taken to the production of the letters of administration on the ground that they were not stamped, upon which Mr. Justice Blackburn adjourned the trial to enable the plaintiff to get the docu ment stamped, Lb. emits of the day to abide the event. The case came on for trial again before the late Mr. Justice Wightman, when the letters of administration were pro- duced stamped. An objection was then taken that the Commissioners of Stamp had no power to stamp the docu. meet, or that if they had the document was not admissible in evidence, as • penalty was imposed for the omission to have it stamped with the proper amount. An objection was also taken that the plaintiff had failed to register the assignment in accordance with the provisions of the act. The court refined the rule with regard to the penalty for non-stamping, that being a question for the government, but granted it on the point of registration. Mr. H. T. Cole, )Ir. Turner, and Mr. Stephenson con tended that registration was necessary to enable the plaintiff to recover. Montague Williams and Mr. Day showed cause against the rule. The twigless had assigned to the plaintiff the copyright both of publication and sale, and also of re presentation ; and that with regard to the latter, ita regi stration was not oecesaary under the 5 and 6 Vic., chap. -1.5, under the provisions of which act the plaintiff bad proceeded. The Court held that under the provisions of the act 5 and 6 Via registration was not racessar y, and discharged the rule. Rule discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. - - CLERKENWELL. A respeelably attired married women, who gave the name of Elizatek Reedle.e, residing in Little Baodolphetreet, Camden-town, was charged with attempting to destroy her life by having taken a quantity of white precipitate powder. The defendant. who has had • very narrow escape of her life, seemed to feel her position very acutely, and said she was sorry for what she had done. Police-miestable 1108 said that one night in the earl of last week be was called to the house ti, Little Baodolpb. street, and found the defendant there apparently in a dying state from the effects of poison. He seat for a surgeon, but before assistance amend she continued get ting won*, and be sent for another, and bad very great difficulty in keeping her awake. and cues or twice he thought she was dying. On the arrival of the 'surgeon the stomach pump was applied, and whilst it was being used the defendant said that they were all " fools, as she had not taken poison, but drink." He asked her if she had taken poison, but she declined to make say reply. He had since found the paper which bad captained what she had taken, and it was labelled "poison." At the police-station, when she was told the charge, she said she had taken poison, and was now very sorry for it. Tbe defendant, u be before remarked, had been very ill, Ad it had not been deemed prudeat to remove her from her house until the present charge was made. The husband of the defendant, a hard-working was, said, with tears in his eyes, that he could not amount for his wife acting is the way she had. He had been married to her for many years, and she had no muse to make any attempt on her We. He 'lvey' behaved kindly to her, and she to him. Mr. Wdliam Swain, of 1. Newman's-place, Kentiah. town, said he had known the defendant for years, and felt confident she would not have attempted such a rash act bad she not boon the worse foe liquor at the tune. Whilst she had Lice out some ore bad been telling her some story about her husband, and that had preyed no her mind. . . The defendant,' in reply terrible to th; Charge, said no one re- Mttmora than she did the rrible crime which she had ilty of. Unfortunately, she bad gone out on the day to question, and had taken too much brandy and water, and after that she did pot know what she did. If she was forgiven this time she would take care that she would never commit herself any more. The magistrate severely lectured the defendant upon the wickedness of attempting self•deetruction, and discharged her with a caution.

Yesterday evening a lecture was delivered to a large number of members of this associatioe, aserubled in its reading-room at the Bank of England, by Mr. Thomson Monkey, M.P., the subject being " One year of govern. moot expenditure, or how the money comes in and goes out." The chair was taken by Mr. Erectus D. Hoocsoe, M.P., Governor of the Beak, who in introducing Mr. Hawkey, adverted to the fact that he wan ow o! the chief founders of the association. The lecture consisted mainly of an elaborate analysis, under various heeds, of the ex• peoditrus and income of the public financial year, corn. mincing on the Ist of April, 1862, and ending on the 31st of March, 1863. In the earlier portion of his remarks, Mr. Monkey explained the system of checks by which parliament has endeavoured to protect the country against fraud on the part of public officers, and secured the application of the revenue to the purposes for which it is raised. The National Debt, he observed, began in 1694 with • loan of 1,200.0034, borrowed under William 111. , at 8 per eeot. ; at the end of the American war it amounted to 247,000,000/. ; and in 1862-3, it wee 799,800,0001., the annual charge on se count of it being 26,231,657/. 2s. 9d. He then gave the other chief items of expenditure, Mil log the total to 69,302,0001., and in doing so remarked on the east increase which bad taken plus of late years in the naval and military expenses, owing to the sub. stitution of iron for wood and other alterations in the navy, and to the adoption of more powerful artillery for military Of the whole expenditure of the year 1862-3 rirrl e s 9 ,ZB/. Try. 3d. consisted of what were called charges on the consolidated fund, which were ordinarily brought under the consideration of the House of Commons, leaving as the subject of parliamentary votes 41,186,349/. Ila 11d., of which amount 27,635,000/. was expended on the army and navy, and 8,046,000/. on the civil *welts'. The num bee of effective men in the army was about 150,000. in the navy 76,000, and there were MO vie. eels of war in commission ; added to which there were 75,000 Moons in fedi., who were maintained out of the Indian revenue. The total expenditure for law, police, prisons, Sic., was 3,521,000/., and for public mouton* and the educatioul improvement of the people, 1,400,000/. Turning to the revenue of the rear the lecturer referred to the alteration*, in recent year., in the customs duties, which had, he said, reduced the number of articles that mainly contributed to this branch of the revenue to nine or ten, the total iocome from customs being 24,034,000!. Of the other items the aides yielded 17,155,0001. ; stamps, 8,999,400/. ; taxes, land and assessed, 3,150,000/.; and the property tax, 10,567,0001. The total income of the year was 70,603,560/. 155 3d. The total ordi nary expenditure being 69,302,007!. 19s. 2.1.. there was an suer of ordinary income over expenditure of 1,301.5521. lira 11d. ; but es 1.060,000/. of this was spent on feetifica slow, the actual balance of income over expenditure was only 250521. Ilia. 11d., and this sum was, in accordance with an act of parliament, applied in the reduction of the national debt. The lecturer concluded with a warm tribute of praise to the public servants in the various departments connected with the revenue, for their honesty and offirdeory. On the motion of Mr. Managua., thanks were voted to Mr. Harkey for his lecture. DI IDENIS. Feb. 9. C. Debt, jun., Yount-Weld, Lambeth, butcher—Feb. 9. J.

THE PRINCESS OF WALLS. COCK? OP COMMON 000pICIL. A Court of COrnticsi - ConaTileMiiaiyeaterday for the purpose of considering a motion by Mr. F. W. Truaoott, the churn= of the City Lands Committee, that a dutiful and loyal address be presented to her Majesty to congratulate her on the safe delivery of her Royal Highness the ?m -em of Wales and the birth of a Prince. The LORD MAYOR presided, and the CAMIZICiI Chamber RS/ crowded with members of the court. After same forma business bad been disposed of, Mr. Tauscorr ruse to propose the motion of which he had given notice. In doing so he said he could not help congratulating the court that the Cult meeting after the recess was devoted to au occasion so suspicions as the. present, and he hoped be should not be deemed intruding his own personal feelings if he raptured to remind the court that he had been most singularly (avowed during the period he bad had the honour to hold the important position of chief commoner of that ancient corporation. Early in his year of office it was his pleasing duty to propose the address to the throne of loyal congratulation on the nup tials of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales with the illustrious Princess Alexandra of Denmark, midst the close thereof he had to move the adders of falicataties upon the birth of a royal prince, the first fruit of a happy union. He could only express a fervent hope that the gbiam of sun shine which irradiated the heart of their beloved Queen by the marriage of her son might glow into perennial summer by that blessing which it had pleased Almighty Providence now to bestow—( „ hear, hear," and cheep)—end that its infant smiles might brighten with silver lining the cloud of sorrow that had attended her Majesty since her melancholy bereavement. The birth of an heir lineal to the throne of Great Britain was an event no less momentous to the coun try than to the royal family itself. Some of the older members of that court could perhaps recall the seneatioas excited by the lamented decease of the Princess Charlotte and her infant child, and by the barrenness of succession of those nearest the throne during the last years of George sod many of them could recollect the solicitude attendant upon the birth of the Princess Royal, so ardently watched for and so longingly expected. The royal prince was placed most fortseately—he was born while England was at peace, bat whilst the din of the preparation for continental war was resounding on all sides—he would also inherit that proud distinction, far greater than all his titles, that he was descended of one best remembered as "Albert the Good " (cheers) and that the monarch in whale reign his existence commenced was not less honoured by her queenly dignities than for the virtues, affections, and sympathies of home. Mr. Truscott concluded by proposing his motion, amid loud cheering. Mr. Sheriff Maori; seconded the motion, which was car ried by acclamation. Aliermaa COPELAND then moved that the congratulations of the court be presented to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales upon the birth of ► prince. Mr. lavca seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Yr. H. L. TATLOR said be should wish to ask the Lord Mayor, whether he could Moan the court if there was any inteetion on the part of the Court of Aldermen to present • separate address to the throne upon the present occasion (Hew, hear.) The LORD MAYOR said the only reply he could make was, that at present be was not aware of there being any decision on the part of the Cowl of Aldermen to present • separate addrees. Hr. H. L TATLOR said he hoped that they might under stand from this answer that the corporation would address the throes on this important ocassioo as one united body, and that there would Le no peparate address. (Hear, hear.) A committee was then appended to arse upon the terms of the address, after which the mart adjourned. THE PURCHASE OP ASTON PARK, 111R.VINGNAH. The "vexed question" as to the completion of the purchase of this perk, about which so much of an un pleasant character has been brought before the public of late, was again under discussion at a meeting of the Town Conseil yesterday. This arose iu part out of the reading of the " report" of the baths and parks committee, who were directed by the council some time since to inquire into all the circonistaoces connected with this affair. This report is of great length, but throws no new light whatever on the subject, except it be to show more completely than ever Low fully the town is committed to complete the purchase. In the course of the add l e s , mad to her Majesty ma the occasion of her opening the park the following passage occurs :—" In some towns is your Majesty a dominions public parks have wisely been provided by wealthy corporations ; in others, by the munificence of philanthropic citizens : here, also, we Cr, indebted to private liberality for two places of recreation for the people ; but to Birmingham alone has it bean gives to secure, by her own exertions, an soonest park for the physical relaxation—an menet hall fer the mental cultivation—of her variously employed and laborious popu lation." In a subsequent paragraph it is stated that this " has been acquired,"Sc. ; and this addrem was signed by the then mayor end other gentlemen of local distinction. A number of gentlemen jiucluding the Hee. Dr. Miller, the rector) feeling deeply the disgrace which mast fall upon the town if the parcbase of the ball sad park is sot com pleted, ban endeavoured to relieve the town from each a stigma by raising a sum of money-7,oool.—with the view to stimulate the Town Council to provide the remainder. These donors ere Messrs. A. sad G. Dixon, merchants, 2,000/. ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, Y.P., 1,0001. ; Mr. G. F. Monts, 1,0001. ; Miss Ryland, 1,0004 ; Mr. William Middle. more, 500 f. ; Moms. R. and E.

The foregoing was communicated to the council yesterday, in a memorial, presented through the Mayor. _ Mr. Alderman Hawzn moved the following resolution : "That, in order to secure the realisation of her most gracious Majesty's expectation and desire that Aston-perk (which was public') opened by the Queen) shall be permaneotly secured as a place for the healthy exercise and rational recreation of the industrious dimes, end is commemoration of the suspi cious visit of her Majesty and her,' I I ustnons common the Prime Albert to this borougb, on the 15th day of Jaw, 185 d, it is expedient that the park be purcliaaed by t►iseoaacil ; and foe this purpose that the Estate and Boildiap Committee be authorised and instructed to treat fog and bay (at a sum not exceeding 26,0001.) the said perk and the hall, and other buildiop Mending thereon, as now or late held and occupied by the Aston Hall and Park Company, and to do and exe cute alt 'mammary acts and deeds that may be momeary to vest the same in the corporation. order the provisions of the Binuiegham Parks Act, 1M.54." Mr. Alderman Mantua seconded the resolution. Mr. A. GOODRICE moved so amendment to the effect that the council was not pledged to purchase the perk. This was seoooded by Mr. BRUMLEY. Several ogler amendmente were moved, each of them with the purpose to avoid the purobsio ; gad a dlacuasioo ensued which lasted several hours. ... Sir J. RATCLITT. wbo was mayor at the time her Majesty visited the town, vindicated himself as to the course he pursued ; circumstances (he said) undoubtedly altered with regard to the purchased the park ; bu► at the time all was enthusiasm, and no one doubted the result. The letter to the Home-office, written Ly the Tows Clerk and signed by him as mayor, was, he instated, worded in a proper spirit. The result was that no vote was takes ou the original resointion, and any iftidOla was postponed until the next meeting of the council. THE TYLICEY-LONG ESTATEL—Amongst the vicis situdes of families which have taken place during the past year a brief notice of the passing away of the celebrated Tyloey.Long estates into a new family may be of interest to the public. The heiress of these extensive estates has ham disinherited by a will of her brother the late Earl of Mor ' niegtoo, which was made three weeks sod two days before his death, and which left all his leaded property to his father's cousin, Lord Cowley, her Majesty's anibarador at Paris. The l'yloey property came into the Lorig family _by the marriage of the last Earl Tylney's oaly aster Lady Emma Child to Sir Robert Lam, the owner fifths Draycot estate. His grand-daughter, Crabwise Lon, became the heiress of both families at the death of her father, Sir James Tylsey Lout. She married the Hoe. Wm. Wellesley Pole, afterwards Earl of Morningtori.

A new will, however, made during his last allow, has caused the broad lands of the Tylney-Loap to par away hare all the heirs of the family, male and femaU.

Messrs. Pander and Co., in their semi.mootl.l, circular for India (via Marseilles) may :—" Stocks of cloth ars light, and production contracting." lEA.—The expansion of the trade has been so grad within the last two years, that we can but frankly axial.: our amazement with its extraordinary growth ; for if a, look M the deliveries we find them still greatly on the it. mese, and the import more than keeping pace with the delivery. On reviewing the trade for a few years past, ttr, increase in both home consumption sod export has been mast rapid, showing an increase of thirty million pound, within live year. We nod on referring back only twelve years (to 1$31), the increase really takes one with eves greater astonishment; for we then find it to be 56,500,001 M, while for the past year it amounts to double the quantity, or 113,000,0001b5. This would appear to be a very gratifying result to all parties connected with the trade; end although we cannot but regret that the importers should be exempted from its bandits by the extravagant prises that have been paid in China for the last two years, yet, if they will be so deaf to our repeated warnings, alai listless to the advice we offered them at this penod I.t year, they may rashly pursue their course until they have discovered their error, and the value of • disioterimted opinion. It is quite evident that Chum can supply any quantity of tee that may be required, and the importat: question that we desire to be answered is the price at shire it can be afforded. Of late years oar merchants bare on. wisely conceded to the cupidity of the Chinese rea.mea, and until • determined resistance is made to their extor. Comte demands, they may continue to import, but they may rely on doing so only to • lose.—(From Mesas. W. 8. Blmttleworth and Co's monthly circular, dated 11:11 January.)
