The defendant remained on board era Mr. Davenport still remained in the service. Lard Chief Justine—Then the investigation led to g Napier lost so. He afterwards had the same c, :pion of the defendant for truthfulness, Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the evidence, said ..1.• a met distressing inquiry, and one deserving the hest conaideratiou, inasmuch as the result mast be :o the one party or the other according to the re , they arrived at. The prosecutor was convicted , he charge before the court-martial on the de !•:Jant's evidence, and if what he then stated was true proee.utor's conviction was perfectly right, and was the result they could have come to. Mr. Armitage on nsion had no opportunity of being examined on oath, .• 1 he cow same forward to endeavour to convict the -• , ndant. if not of what was legally and technically called . vet of an offence of • cognate character, :h morally and substantially amounted to the r. Although he had doubts as to the strict applicability ! :he rile with regard to perjury, in this case he thought • ski '1 have some confirmatory evidence from the cur --. ••Aliag circumstances of the case. They had had prosecator's oath, and be had exhausted the ..d 1 , 11 of the officers and men one ty, but • furthest they proved was that thdid not -.- or hear what the defendant had sworn to, : Iron the laxity of the sentinels as deposed to in their ..fence. it was possible Mr. Heine had spoken the truth. m ito queetioe for them to determine was whether the :ee:e given by Mr. House before the court-martial was and that now given by Mr. Armitap was the :r :h. It was hinted by the prosecution that the .rges preferred against Mr. Armitage were • result of a consperney, but th ere was .ridence of it except the three coming forward sod . . •!,; their evidence before the court-martial. It would that Mr. lean and Mr. Delisle compared notes as : Mr. Armitage's eooduct, and that coming to Mr. Jack , L's knowledge, he made his statement. Their conduct ex , .1 the etiolation of Lieutenant Gambier • and on the dr. coming to his knowledge, he reported them C..ptaia Napier. Unfortunately this propensity ••:ed in some men. end ou the other band it was • charge made and most difficult of disproof. It was • matter, .refore, that required their most serious and careful roe -. :atiou. A more painful duty than they had to die. could pot devolve arse • jury, and he , ight that under the eireamstapees it was but wise reasonable that they should require sonsething more oath against oath before they convicted the defendant •• perjury. With regard to the prooesdiags before the .rt-martial, his lordship said that what they had seen :.I heard lately was sufficient to show them that it t.. 4 not the best tribunal for Ovestigatieg and deciding on c..niinal changes. Their mode of examining, and above all sou-examining witnesses, was of an obsolete character, and tle sooner it was abolished the better. . The jury retired at a quarter past 11 o'clock to ocesider their verdict. - -- At ten minutes past 12 o'clock the jury sent a note to say then could not agree, bat his lordship would not diaeharge then). At half-past 1 o'clock his lordship came into court and a.:l be had received a wood communication from the jury. lle said they stated there was not the least chance of their omiog to a unanimous verdict. They had exhausted the ih.ruscon of the subject, and therefore they submitted they lad performed their duty, and asked to be discharged. Mr. Serjeant Ballasting, for the prcescution, and Mr. West for the defendant, said they would leave it in his lord *Up's hands. The Lord Chief Justice aid he wee of opinion that where a :17 said there was DO chance whatever of their coming to a unanimous verdict after they had exhausted discussion on :le subject, there was no use in keeping them together to coerce them lab giving a verdict. The learned counsel maid they concurred with his lordship. Tue jury was then celled in, and in answer to questions from his lordship, said there was not the slightest pawl k of their unanimously agreeing to a verdict. The Lord Chief Justice, on that statement, discharged The jury were accordiogly discharged without agreeing to a renhot. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judy °valency.) rite werts Mr. D. D.

The Canada, from Boston, has brought 18,000/. in specie. A communication from the consul for Vene zuela in London gives the satisfactory assuranoe, conveyed in a letter from the government finan cial department to Mr. Orme, that there shall be no repetition of the seizure of the bondholders, funds lately protested against. We hear that Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. had themselves write to General Guzman Blanco on the subject, thereby giving another proof of their solicitude for the bondholders, interests. It is rumoured that the forthcoming dividend on South Eastern Railway stock will not exceed 51 per cent. per annum. A new undertaking is announced under the title of the London Gas Meter Company (Limited). With the almost universal adoption of gas, a great in crease of demand has arisen during the last few years for meters and the other requisite apparatus. The present undertaking, which includes a number of names practically connected with this class of enterprise, is formed with a view to the purchase, at • valuation, of the business, stock, machinery, dm., of Mews. Bischoff, Brown, and Co., whose trans actions are stated to have more than doubled themselves in amount during the last year, and who are in possession of a patent for the manufac ture of a wet meter of improved construction. Two thirds of the purchase-money is to consist of paid up shares, which are not to receive any dividend until seven per cent. is paid on the remainder. The services of the acting partner at the works are to be retained by the company . The capital is fixed at 100 , 0001., in 10 , 000 shares of 101. eac h. . . The'Brighton Riilway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1,2451. compared with last year, and the South &astern a decrease of 1,2491.

The receipts of the Gnat Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 29th January were 14,0801.,being 1,060/. more than in the correspond ing week of last year. The report of the directors of the International (London-bridge) Hotel Company (Limited), to be submitted on the 18th inst., states the gross re ceipts for the half-year at 13,656/., and the net profit at 4,6611. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum is recommended, and a reserve of 1,4021. is to be carried forward. The subjoined circular notifies the Wore of Marrs. Langton and Robinson, timber merchants. The liabilities are expected to range between 200,0001. and 250,000/., but it is stated that the assets are sufficient to yield 20e. in the pound, although not immediately available. The high value of money, combined with the circumstance that the partners have transacted too large • busi. nem, accounts for the present difficulty. The firm is of about 50 years' standing : Gentlemen, —We regret to inform you that is come quenoe of a very Lire? amount of our assets Wag rendered for the time unanalablis, we are under the painful necessity of suspoodiag musenta Our books an placed in the hands of Messrs.

The ball-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at coon, at the Loodon Tavern, Mr. J. Y•. DLNEILL in the chair. The report and amounts, which bad been already pub lished, were taken as read. The cammAN mid the traffic of the last half year was of • pregnantlye character, and the increase might be regarded as cannel, wed arising in • great degree from the improved accommodatioe provided for the docks. The small addi tional expenses were unavoidable. litany of the carriages had become bad, and it via necessary to make the requitit• alteretioas ; and the renewal of the permanent way also de manded some iDCZINIIPS. The arraegemetit with the Loudon Dock Company had not yet come into operation ; and the traibc would not commenes under at least two months. The line from the Isle of Dogs had passed the standing olden, and there wag no mann to doubt that it would be passed without opposition. The board had paid the requi site atteation to all the projected metropolitan lines, sod from sate of them did they expect to derive any benefit, while me of them, which had been lost os standing orders, connected with th e Thames Teeml would have done them positive injury. After remarking that the compaey was on the best terms with the Great Easters Company, he con cluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. F. MACNAVONTIOI seconded the motion. Jtooura mitered into some detests sad oomparimme with regard to the expeediture, in order to show that it might b• considerately reduced. He rejoiced that there was nothing down under the bled of oompeoeatioe for socideotii. (Hear, hear.) Such ea exereptioo. extending Dow over some rears, was highly creditable to the manager. Mr. Wightinan. (Chews.) He believed that the lowering of the fares thug far had proved a decided wooers. and regretted that the chairman bad sot alluded to that poiet. A Snattedioxoni complained that the second clam car riages were inferior to thaw of adman soy other line.. Mr. WIMITIIAN (the seperinteadeat) explained that only of the carriages were rourtmeted in 1840, and had been im proved WI far ae was practicable, adding that the new COO rime' were all built is the bed manner. As regarded their freedom from &academia, a large number of men were ae esseerily employed everyday to attend to the traffic, and in order that they might be fresh the switehmea sad all par secs epos whom misty depended were chimed every day at 2 o'clock. Not • single farthing was expended without dee • . • (018;r8.) The CHAIRMAN, as regarded Asap fares, oluorred that grass are was requeits. The reoeipts town passeagers showed an Memo of 240/. as compared with the second bait of 1262 ; bat for this they had carried 117,000 additions! painengen. The line was not at all a pleasure one, and it was questinoable whether the principle of cheapness could be carried further consistently with the iatrrest of the eciropaay. The report was adopted, and • dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was declared. The retina' director. mad auditors were re-elected. Thanks were afterwards voted to Mr. Wichtman, super. Intendant, for the meaner is which ha has managed the line. The meeting having then been mule special, resolution was paned for the " treader to the London aed North Western Railway Company of the lisydonsquare Railway, and the lands, works, and conveniences thereof, mod all or any of the power., rights, sad priellnree is coneerioe therewith. io ponnanos of the anneemeot between the corn psalm, dated Nth October, 1&50, and of the po wen of the act 17 and 18 Viet., tap. 201."

The business appears to have gradually declined, and of late bad debts have been made. With reference to the case of Holford e. the Alliance Bank, tried in the Court of Common Pleas oo Saturday, and in which the jury found for the pl►intiff for the amount standing to his credit in the bank—viz., 3,709/. lla. 10d.—but gave him none of the damages sought, it appears that the Alliance Bank have obtained • stay of exe cution until the sth day of next term. The effect of this is that the bank will be enabled to set off Mr. de Matta' unpaid bills against the verdict obtained on Saturday. 13 1 - 10* - 211 - 0 f T' ~!, I i
