The matter was argued ea further consideration before the Vice-Chancellor,assisted hr sir Cromwell Croswell, then • judge of the Court of (mimeo Pleas, who gave his opinion that the marriage taring hem aolemoieed between the testator sod his de easel wds'• eater, however lawful it might be in the metre where it took place, wee, under the statute 5 and eeillain IV., c. 54, which declares that auch mar wig, were absolutely null and void, of no effect, and the hildren illegitimate.

DETERMINED SUICIDE Or • TRADESMAN IN Sr. PANCRAS. —(THIs DAs.)—This morning, about eight o'clock, much alarm prevailed in the neighbourhood of Albany-street, Regent's•park, in consequence of the discovery that Mr. Salmon of that street, • grocer in a large way of business, had committed suicide. His servant went about 8 o'clock, as was usual, to the stable, to take out the horse, when he found the I door fastened. He looked through the keyhole sad then observed his master suspended by • Seeing police-constable Limeburn, 3.13 S. he e called him. The constable got over the fanlight of the door and cut the rope. A surgeon was sent fur, who stated that life was extinct. No cause can be assigned for the rash act.

The deceased, who appears to be between 30 and 40 years of age, was a jockey. and belonged to Mahal, in Yorkshire. He had come to Liverpool rams last week, on the understandiog that he was to ride in one of the reces,but this he did not do. In the course of Saturday he had been different times in the Stanley Arms, which is kept by Mr. Thompson, and a short time before 8 o'clock he returned there for the last time. Having joined some men who were drinking at the bar, be took • glans, rinsed it eat, poured a little water into it, and taking • paper with in it from kis pocket, he mixed the powder ▪ ' wi th the water in the glass and drank it off.

FIAN:GING YOUNG CHILDRII3.—" J. 0." send. , some remarks to the Times, relative to the retest returns of the cases of flogging of boys in prisons during the last three years. Sixty-seven criminals of I'L ea of age, 41 of IL 34 of 10, 12 of 9,3 of 8, and 1 of 7 appear in the tide as having been thus punished,—eome with the birch and others with the " cat." At Ches ter gaol • child of eight is stated to have re ceived 24 lashes for "repeated misconduct;" • child of nine, to have received the earns for " house breaking ;" and at Bodmin a boy of 12 got two mops rate floggings of 36 lashes each far " hormstealing." At Hertford a boy of 10 received 36 lashes for steal- Mg a piece of beef, while • man of 29 only received the manse punishment for stealing 29 fowls. Two children, el' nine years old, received 15 lashes each at Faversheart— one for stealing a cocoanut, value 3d. ; the other for stealing • half-pound weight. value 7d. At Salford, in Lancashire, • boy of twelve received 48 lashes for " most artfully end wantonly destroy ing the books in his all;" • boy of 11 got 3R lashes for shouting in his cell ; and • boy of 10, 48 lashes for putting the cotton given to him to pock into his call pot. In the same prison another boy of 11 got 48 Whet, also for shouting in hi. cell • and a boy of ten was simi larly maltreated. In bxford gaol two criminals of nine years of age were chastised with 24 lashes each, and the Fetworth Petty Sessions enjoy the melancholy distinction of having awarded corpomi punishment to toe youngest criminal on the list, use infant of seven years of age, who, with two accomplices of nine years of age, "stole • knife :" one of. the accomplices of nine is noted as " an old offender." J. O. observes :—" The well fed e.hildren of the rich, when they come to be stripped for punishment, are at eight, ohm, or ten years of age but frail, delicate. skinned, little creetemm, very ill-fitted to bear even dozen cuts of Use case or the birch ; the underfed chil dren of the poor are trailer and punier still, and I ap. peal to every member of the Hoses of Cowmen who has young children of his own to put • stop to these wanton and unnecessary cruelties. If two-thirds of the counties of England, and if all Wales, mismanage their young offenders without the birch and the cat,' why should the other third be permitted thus to disgrace it IN r &CAPS or A FVOITIVI SLAVA IN Nsw Yost.— Just previous to the sailing of the steamship Y yesterday afternoon, for Virginia, • some which ori = quite an excitement occurred at pier No. 13, North river. About three o'clock • close carnage, containing two De puty United States Marshals and an alleged fugitive slave named John Polhemua, made its appearance on the wharf. The slave was said to belong to Mr. James" of Lynchburg, Virginia, and to have confessed that fact to his master, who is now in the city; before the two mar shals above-mentioned. However this may be, when the officials alighted, Gumbo showed no very strung inclioation to follow suit, and, in fact, resisted all invitations to step out on terra firma. Persuasion failing, the marshals resorted to coercion, forced the negro from the waggoo, and hurriedly endea voared ' to ship him on board the Yorktown. But the micro, slave or no slave, clung with no submissive grasp to the rails of the plank, and shouted out with an appealing voice, evidently intended for the rot popodi. Responsive to the cry, the people gathered around in • crowd in a few minutes, end to them the slave cried in desperate and piteous tones, "Oh men, save me, save me, save roe. I'm not the not the man, no, no ; oh, save, save." A policeman named Armstrong name up at this juncture and interfered, asking the marshals to produce their warrants and show their authority for shipping off the darkey as • slave. Not having the oeceemry documents, one of the marshals hurried off to fortify himself with the authoritative gapers, leaving the negro meanwhile in the custody of the other deputy. But before the officer had time to return, the slave, urged on by the crowd, cut the company of his keeper, and made tacks for life, running rapidly towards West-street. The marshal briskly pursued, but the slave proved nimble of foot, and in • abort time was completely out of sight. It is said he crowed to Jersey City, where another warrant will be nee ...airy for his arrest. The affair created quite • scandium—Arne York Herald, March 3. 11,. st. lia im ! 7 !- - Fi.

The directors regret that they have spin to exhibit to the proprietors • return of diminished profit, but the accounts represent the operations of a year which has proved the least favourable for banking pursuits in the Australian colonies since the time of the gold discoveries. The whole period has been one of great commercial depression ; in addition to which the amount paid for into- Jest on deposits has considerably exceeded that of the year 18.59. The present year has commenced under more hopeful auspices, indications of a revival of trade, and of • gradual but steady return to confidence being appa rent ; and from the latest athlete received from the acting superintendent, the directors are led to expect that the next annual accounts will prove of • more satisfactory character. Although the mercantile community has been labouring ender depression, other Australian intonate have advanced in prosperity. The exports of wool, copper, and other produce have increased. The yield of gold also continues large, though not quite equal to that of former years, but hopes are entertained that it will be =a ted by the extended application of machine y, discovery of new fields. The directors take an encouraging view of the prospects of the Australian ooksies, and of the future success of the operations of the bank, although the extraordinary results of former was say not be attainable. Mr. J. J. Falconer sailed in De cember to resume his duties as colonial superinteodeut. The directors derived much satisfaction from their inter course with Mr. Falconer during his stay in Elegised ; and they have reason to believe, that the later =of views which has taken place, will prove cid to the future interests of the bank. On Mr. Falconer's arrival, Mr. D. C. McArthur, after up wards of twenty-five years service, will probably avail him self of the permission granted to him to visit Europe. The directors take this opportunity of ex premiss their high 11001/0 of the energy and ability shown by Mr. McArthur during the period he has filled the office of acting su psrintendent, and they WIN with pleasure to the fulness and clearness of his reports. The directors have the painful duty to announce the death of their esteemed and deeply regretted colleague, Sir George Carroll, who for many years occupied a seat in the dine tient The election of • director to fill the vacancy thus occasioned, will take place this day. The directors have in former reports prepared the shareholders to expect a lower rate of distribution as the inevitable consequence of • less remunerative return of profit, sad they have now to announce their detention of payiag, on the 16th April next, • half year's dividend at the rater of 6 per cent. per annum, or Vt. per share, and • beans at Use rate of 4 per cent. per annum, or 16e. per share, free of income tax, hems together at the rate of 10 per coat. per annum." The CHAIRMAM. a Twain/ the adoption of the report, add it would be observe d, from the =moots, that tie company had at length reached that to of diminished dividend for which the directors bed long been imperial/ the shareboldses. There was no other change in the position of the bank. The main disturbing cense of the reduction of dividend was the !grievepraclice of retying interest on deposits, nwlt of the adoption of that system was that Ia the last year the bank paid 63,1001. as interest, a eons the ponersion of which would have made the dividend 17 instead of 10 per cent. The main point fee present cormideration wee whether that source of lose was per manent or only temporary. The directors opposed the of paying interest from the first. Experience had produced an 'heretics of feeling ; and is the annuals el last year the managers of the Australian banks came tea determination not in future to pity interest en current account,. (Cheers.) The effect of aunts; out that resolution would of course be very favoarithis as regarded future divideod. With respect to expenses, be was happy to say that there bad already been a con siderable decease in the salaries of the officials in Australia. The lames of the bank during the commercial crisis of last year were very inconaiderable, and, such as they were, had all been provided for in the , accounts. (Hear, hear.) The prosperity of the beak most *Jinni° hood in hued with that of the colonies, and as all branches of commerce and industry were now in • promising and satisfactory condition, they had is that fact an excellent pound of hope for the future. (Cheers.) Mr. FAIIRIR seconded the motion. A SHARP:HOLDS.' *aired whether the agreement not to pay interest had been adhered to by all the beaks The CHAIRMAN replied that it had been so up to that time, but there was one bank with regard to which there me some doubt as to its future course. A Elatarnotoca observed that the other Australian tanks had suffered from the payment of interest as well as that beak, bat no other had suffered to the same extent. At onetime they stood first in position, now they had yielded to the Unica Bank of Australia. Mr. Berjesat Da•tatig complained of the diminution of dividend. following as it had done an increase in the salaries of the directors. Atte mine further discussion, the report was adopted, mid the pruceedings terminated in the =nal manner. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. (THIS DAY.)
