Those aromeata are entitled to respect, bat they an sot irrefragable, sad should sot stead in Me way of jus tam Par my OW SI part, I bag to urge that I was preeent the trial of Mullins from tle 0011=e11CUIOS to AI condo. aim, lad watched with intense Mmes. all its Merida* and that Livia( had eo..e opportunitise of observing the errors, Irma which twee the puree* administration of justice is not entirely exempt, I have deliberately arrived at an opiaion, seenriees natal, that ct ie atom that tamale— that ft I. pail.

I comedestly invoke the assistance of the learned Chief flame himself, the presiding judge at the trial, and now when he can calmly commune with himself, I invite biro to review the terms in which he placed this case before the jury, and to ask himself if be be perfectly easy with the result of his reflection. Ignoble natures hesitate to confess their errors, but I know that the distinguished judge, towards whom I entertain feelings of profound respect, in too magnanimous and too just to be ininenoed by false pride, and even sow, if babe conviacedthst he failed on say essential point in directing the jury who found a verdict ce guilty. he will not hesitate to atone for his omission by an act still happily within his power. The ablest judges who Lase grata[ our courts have fallen inadvertestly into error. The wonder is, whoa one redecta upon the DOM mrily tedious and complex character of a trial fora serious offence—the intricacy of the facts detailed, the incosgrei• ties and contradictions in the evidence, and the necessity of rapidly arranging sad rendering intelligible to untechnial understanding the chaotic mass—that a failure of juges shouhl be of such rare occurrence. The important question to be considered I. this : has the convict been convided upon leo! evidence! Standing upon the true doctrine of cirinumAdwial evidence, I answer humbiy in the negative. The Lord Chief Baron having informed the jury that the evidence upon which they were to form their opinion was of the kind designated as " circumstantial ^ this defined the n.dure of the term, and I borrow the detuition from the fullest report published of his lordship's charge : " Cir. cumatantial evidence meant a number of facts, which, if believed, left in the mind of a rational man no reasoeable doubt as to a particular concluaioo." I object to this de finition, which it is well to bear in mind for its want of can pletenem ; the defect is ineffably important ; but notwith• standing the definition wee submitted with a personales force which could nut fail to operate with irresistible in. ineoce upon the debbeimmes of the jury, when connected with matter of a quality such as the following quotations from the charge, as reported in the public journals, will indiotte : " The oast important pews of evidence against the pri. poser was the pared, and if they should beheve he (Mal. btu) roads it up, they most form their own opinion as to the effect of that evidence."—Deily Fero. " With regard to the parcel, there could be no doubt that whoever placed it there was connected with the snarder."—Tina. " The primmer had sot in any manner attempted to ac count for the poriemios of tile cheque."—Morairig Post. fly own recollection of the words need by the Lord Chief Benin &CA not exactly agree with theme versions. Thom who Listened to the very powerful addrees of his lordship will not forget that his leaguers, if not syllogistic, was at Inset suggertive, and vary much resembling, if not mutually, these words :—" Who plead the wool in the shed! It was not Emma—then is &brisket proof of his innocence. Wm it the primmer Owed It there ; and if so, who cuattuitted the mural. to' From the foregoing attracts train the charge—differing • lat'e o terms, but subrtaattally agreeiag—it will appear wri lent that the learned Chief Biron himself eateristinal at that marmot the belief that the prisoner had piing the parted is the shed, sad that the fact of his haring phial II there wee, u his judgment, easethaire evident* of his ban " corteeraed la the murder : e in other words, of bin being the actual murderer. The interrogatory, " Wes it the prisoner plead it then" area equiraleat to raying —end the jury so understood the questioa—that the primmer had plaoed there. Thus interpourting the gumbos in its unmistakeable algal/Wows let me present the resaoaing in logical form. The primmer placed the parcel in the shed. The pence who planed the parcel in the shod is the murderer, therefore the prima r i the murderer ! It appears to me that a most dimpres• Macy larks la this argument, to which I shell phonily advert A carious coincidence has marked the progress of this trial ; it ambles see to appropriate to toy aliment • lucid explanation of the Mare of circumstantial evidence by a learned Irish jade".

Is effect Mullins, tried for anarder, was head galley of hay rag the deign in his pommies and piecing it is the field. The evident* of guilt, however, extracted from the assumed pommies of the cheque, seem to me to case whine the category of that species of proof des cribed by Archbishop Whateley (" Elements of Rhetoric." Part 1, c. 2, s. 2) :—" As far, thee, as any cause popularly speaking has • taring to produce • captain effect; so far its 'listening is an ergamont for that of the ant. U the cause be fully sufficient, sad no impediment utterance, the effect in question knows certainly, and the soarer we approach to this the stronger the argument." The archbishop proceeds to thus describe the fallacy of this argument "This V the kind of argument which produces (when shod of absolute certainty) that ipecac' of the pro bthie which is usually celled the plausible." I might ex tend to an intolerable length my argument against the legal sufficiency of the proof that Mullins ever placed the parcel in the tiekl ; but to accelerate my conclusion, I cognede that be did place the parcel where it was subsequently found, sad that this act was • part of an abortive pin aphid the life of Emma ; and then approaching the point of my arp meet, I ask. after the admissioa which I h►ve made, what evidence does this act of Mullins afford of his connexion with the murder Is it coachisive that be corn. nutted the murder Mains has not bees indicted as an accessory after the fact, but he is hand guilty of the murder.

In passing sentence he thus addressed the prisoner:— "If you can even now make it manifest that you are innocent of the charge, I do sot doubt that every attention will be paid to any cogent proof laid before those with whom it rests to carry the law into execution." We know that the gate of mercy even is this world is never soiled against the admission of truth, but the unusual character of this address at such • time would almost lead to the belief that the Lord Chief Baron himself felt that there was • want of direct evidence against the man before him which troubled him on reflection. I have done. I have possibly fatigued yon with • tedious argument in favour of • wretched man, who, I fear, bus sinned grievously in many respects against society, but where soul, for aught we know in the abeam of anerrbg demonstration, u guiltlees of the crime for which be le domed to die.

The irrevocable punishment of death on grounds possibly questionable will be thus averted, and Gamily justice may triumph upon les* evidence of the guilt of Mullius in re- lation to his °dome against Emma—l am, fin., November 2. ri; r11;1-Arra ' 4 10" - rel/ 7• I • TUESDA Y EVENING, NOVEMBER Ride *ntellignct.

HAINIEDST.—DXIDCBREIL The plainti ff s, the well - known auctioneers in Waterloo tee,offled their bill in this case with a view to obt a i n • for specific performance by the defendant of • written agreement between the plaintiffs and defendant, whereby it was witnessed that in consideration of the plaintiffs having advanced to the defendant the sum of 1,500/. on account and in part payment of the proceeds of the pro perty mentioned in the agreement, the latter would commit to the plaintiffs' custody and care, for sale by auction, or otherwise, the great historical collection of manuecripts, books, paintings, enamels, and various other weeks of eat, upon the defendant's premises, No. 13, Upper . street, upon the following term', viz., a commil t stlitt per cent. upon the amount realised by the tale, and sng commission was to include all incidental expenses incurred for properly introducing the property to public notice. The agreement also contained provisions as to the payment to deendantof the balance of the proceeds of the Isle, and the re-delivery of such articles as should be boy& in. The defendant represented the collection as being of great value, and as likely to realise at least 15,000/. P ar t of It woo delivered to the plaintiffs in pursuance of the agree ment, end sold by them in June lest, bat owing to various circumstances such part produced much lees than the de fendant had anticipated. It realised about 700/. only. Diffe rences having arisen between the plaintiffs and defendant, the latter refused to deliver to the former any further part of this collection. The plaintiffs, therefore, sought to com pel bim to do so by the decree of the court, and the bill also prayed that the defendant might be ordered to pay to the plaintiff, suck sum as the court might think proper to award for damages for the lose sustained by them by - roam of the defendant's conduct. Ihe defe;dantpntti;:cionnurrer, which was supported by Mr. Lloyd and Mr . E. Fry. Hr. R. Palmer and Mr. Dickerson appeared in support of the bill. Hia Honour allowed the demurrer, on the ground that the question was one of damages, and ought, therefore, to be decided at law. (Before Vice-Chsacallor Sr R. T. Kindorsley.) WIDFIELD r. TUNDFIELD. A petition was presented in this owe from the lord of the manor of Dovercourt, praying that notwithstanding the appointment of a receiver of the Lower Wick Farm, de vised under the will of a Mr. Randlield, he may be at liberty by his bailiff to enter upon and take possession of the property until the customary fine on the admission of the tomtit upon the court-roll has been paid. A question had been raised under the will of Mr. Randfield as to the estate which his son, William Cass Handflekl, took under it, and the House of Lords held that he took an estate in fee with an !executory devise over. William Cass Handheld was admitted on the rolls of the court in 1854 and paid the customary fine, and he died in 1856, and as he had no son the executory devise over took effect ; under these cir cumstances the lord claimed that the devisees ought to be admitted and to pay another fine, and the question which was argued before the court was practically whether under these circumstances the fine paid by William Cass Rand. field enured to those who took under the executory devise. Mr.Prendergairt appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Dicken son for the devisees, and Mr. Kay for the widow of the tee tetor, who is entitled to an annuity charged by the will on the property in questioa. Mr. Shibbsare appeared for parties intimated in the personal estate. His Honour said he had to consider whether the case was dear to the lord or it was clear against him. Uhe felt like a reasonable doubt on the subject he should it right to give the lord leave to enter ; but it appeared to him that the lord was not entitled, and that in such a ease as the present the admittaece of the first tenant enured to the benefit of those entitled to the remainder in fee.

This seems a most remark able het, for ema the firemen who were on duty at the knew mail boars after the fire wee extinguished of the accident to life and limb. In order to render the account intelligible, it is necessary te drew hew the fearful occurrence took place. MOWS. Chappell had wareroome at 49 d 50, New Bond-street, and an Oearwatreet Hanover-square. The building in Pleanix-eneet belonged to the same firm, but the manatee- Wring portan of the works belonged to Mr. Smith, and as fast as be could Minh the instruments they were taken by Hems. Chappell and Co., and were sold to the public by that firm. The hiamy, which was five floors, or four stories high, was fanned of 14-inch brickwork ; it wee 44 feet long, at one side, but, however, it was only 35 feet wide towards the end. Mr. Smith, well knowing the that invariably existed where open fires were used for glue or drying the veneers, had each floor fitted up with iron pipes about six or seven inchn in circum ference, and, m order to afford • still greater protection to the building, he had a small circular tube inserted through the larger range of piping, so as to avoid the danger of the p i. l pas becoming so heated as to eat fire to the timbers in with the steam enemas. As a doable secu rity th an were held by iron stays, so se to keep the pipes from either touching the flooriagn or the ceilings. _For year, these preeentionery had worked meet admi• rably, and, what was wewidared • dill greater precaution against the outbreak of fire, each &Jamey was supplied with hot steam pipes for the purp se of heating the kettles of glue used in the businsm All of a sudden the persons in the court beard a kind of rumbling noise, and in an instant afterwards a fearful explosion took place, when • piece of the steam piping, weighing about 561 M., was projected hortrontally from the factory. The ponderous piece of machinery, after knocking away • pm-non of th e era of the side window, broke off and dropped about two feet if the ironwork below into the oourt, while the remainder entered the window, tore away • portion of the ceiling, perforated the partite•nd fell upon • bed in which a man was asleep. The hosted piping was pulled off the man and he was rescued, much injured, but not fatally. The other portion of the iron piping, aa before stated, fell into the court among several scores of persona. The first penile it struck was a woman named Pitt, whose husband worked in an adjoining shop, end hearing of the fire th hastened to see whether their own work was but finding such was not the case they remained watching the spread of the flames. With such force was she struck that she was prostrated, and upon being picked up by her husband was found, in his opinion, to be mortally in He got her through the crowd the beet way he coul d , had her placed in a conveyance, but while he was accaapany lag her to the hospital his wont fears were verified, as she died in his . premium and before reaching the We& tation. The arm of the explosion win so strong that pietism of the piping were projected in all directions, like a shower of grape shot, and men, women, and children were struck down in the court where the explosion seemed to have spent itself. A boy, named Matthews, had his aced cat open, and was conveyed to Hing's College Hospital, with the blood relining from the wounds down his face. He was attended to by the officers of that institution, but was allowed to leave for his home lea night. A woman, named Mary Sullivan, who used to sell oysters about the neighbourhood, had both her shoulders laid open, end the sister of the unfortunate lad Matthews, who had only been confined three days, was oblige d to be pulled out of bed with her infant in the cold. They wen removed to the home of a neighbour. Some 18 or 90 other persons were also struck down and more or lees in hured. Some returned to their own haws , having cat eads and other serious—but it is understood not fatal— int"- explosion, it is believed, was canoed in this manner : —The finis in the furnaces having been extinguished, the abeam la the boiler and the pipes had turned to water, and when the best of the fires became so intense the water soddenly gese i steam so fast and in such quantities, that the being red with heat, gave way by the preir sure of steam, and hence the cause of the melancholy catastrophe that ensued.

The defendant by his pleas denied the legality of the bond. Mr. Serjeant ghee and Mr. Turner were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Cray were counsel for the defendant. Ie coesequence of the pleas throwing the proof of the ease on the defendant his eves was entered on fun. It appeared from the defendant's case that in 1856 • poem named Ricks, trading ass merchant in the City, and also at Rangoon, suspended payment, and with a view to save the =prone of a bankruptcy a deed of competition was drawn up sad agreed to, and that the business should be coatinueli under inspection.

The conditions were oomplied with, and th e defendant and another person joined in the hoed for 5001., upon which this action was brought. The plaintiff, however, contended that the bond was given fee • different consideration than that stated by the de fendant, viz., to secure the repayment of 2001. which bad been paid into court on another action then pending against Hicks.

This was an action to recover damsges for false imprison. ment, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn the Jury found for the plaintiS—damages, 60/. Mr. Bovill, however, now moved for a rule for a new trial, upon the ground that the verdict was clearly grand the evidence. The plaintiff had been in thelservice at the railway company as carman, and whilst with them his business was to take Amp of goods from the Castle and Falcon to King's-cram The practice of the Midland Com pany was to have everything weighed before it left the Castle and Falcon ; and on one comical some boxes of oranges, which the plaintiff had takes to King's-cross, were found 131ba. short in weight. Four of the boxes were also found damaged, one of them being broken, and the other three bad the laths on the top somewhat loosened. On ex amination five or six oranges were found wrapped up in ' paper, and some others were behind a door, where they could not have rolled by accident. The plaintiff's pockets were noticed to be balky before he left the station ; thong\ they were not so when he returned. Under these circum stance* the plaintiff was given into custody, but the jury acquitted him. Thereupon he brought this action, and in answer the company h ad that some of the oranges had boss stolen, and they had reasonable ground for suspecting the pisintiff. The jury, however, found that there had been no felony at all. The learned counsel now submitted that tie company was bound in duty to the public to give the plaintiff into charge under the circumstances, sad further that the evidence was clear that somebody or dim lag stolen the oranges. The mart took time to eemit upon the Matter. WILSON A TO! LANCANIUNS AND YOINSWIIN SAILWAT COMPANT.• OF 000IXI. Mr. Rdwerd James said that this cue had been tried before Mr. Baron Wilde, at Liverpool, when the jury found for the plaintiff—dummies, M. The action arose out of the following circumstances :—The plaintiff is • dmper in Cumberlead, and on the 14th March last he purchased of • manufacturer at Huddersfield about 2001. worth of cloth. The goods were forwarded to the railway, but from some eases or other they were not de li vered to him until the 10th Aprll, and thereupon the present action was brought, the =alleging that in coosequence of the detention he at the profits of the = season, amounting to 1001. The emboli. however, was for • rule to reduce the Mto • nominal NIM, upon the pound that the &amps claimed were too remote to be recovered from the meopeny. Another point was that the plaintiff by buying ether geode when he found hie own were not deliveried in =time might have prevented any damage from the the mama. Bile granted. POLK V. CITCOVITCH. —LS AVISTRIAN TENIEL DVIILIG MI LAT 2 WAR. The plaintiff is a merchant in Loudon, and the defendant is the captain of an Austrian vessel, which in November, 1858, was chartered by the plaintiff to load a cargo at Ilavannah for England. Another condition endorsed upon the charterperty at Havannah and lamented to by the de fendant in consideration of an additional freight, was that he should go from England to any one of certain porta named, one of which was Copenhagen. The vessel arrived at Falmouth in June, 1859, and on the 28th of June the defendant received orders to proceed toCopenhagen. (The defendant, however, had beard than French cruisers were off the Lizard, and that if he put to sea his vessel would probably be taken, and he therefore answered by telegraph, " I cannot proceed to Copenhagen with ray ship under the Antrim flag ;" and on the 29th he wrote mare fully explaining that he could not undertake the voyage without considerable risk of capture, that be did not refuse to go anywhere he MO ordered to go es soon as the navigation was tree, but if it was really wished that be should proceed to Osposbasaa he asked the plaintiff to imam or guarantee his skip sad tenet telly, and be would then go at ones. Is this way the defendant remained at Plymouth for three dare. The plaintiff ooetended that in so doing the con tract had hem broken and he darned damages. The case are on for trial betore the Lord Chief Justin in London, when his lordship left it to the Jerrie my whether the defendant was justified in " pausing" as he bad done under the circumstances, and the jury expressed their opinion that ' TT 6. 1860. W oviduct was wise and prudent, and they found a verdict for him. Mr. Bonn, however, now moved for a rule for a new trial, eahmiting that the lodge bad miadirected the jury ; and further that the verdict wee against the evidence. Bade granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 6. Sidings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chid Baron and Barons Bramwell, Charmll, and Wade.) DAVI,' V. ROMPOID. Mr. Serjeant Piggott said this was an action tried before Mr. Justice Hill at the late Oxford maize., when a verdict was returned for the defendant. The learned counsel now moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the defendant to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and • new trial had on the g ro unds— fi rst, that the verd ict was against the weight of evidence • and secoadly, misdirection by th e learned judge. The fa ct o adduced at the trial were, that the plaintiff and defendant, who were both young people, residing near Oxford, bad known one another since 1857, when a regard for each other sprang up between them, which eventually terminated iu a proposal being made by the defendant of marriage, to which the plaintiff acceded. A quantity of letters were written from one to the other until the middle of the following year, when the defendant called on the plaintiff and asked for the letters he bed written her to be delivered up to him, stating that he was going to break o ff the match, w hi c h h e subsequently did. The defence was that this action was an after thought, as the plaintiff bad allowed the matter to drop for the space of two years, having never written to the defendant or spoken to any one about it since the year 181ki, and the jury thereupon returned a verdict for the defendant. The learned counsel contended that the fact of the plaintiff not having said anything about the breach of promise for two years was not any proof that a breach of promise did not exist, which was the question for the jury. The court refused the rule. Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and Common Juries.) . _ This wits the first sitting at nisi pries for the present term.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover t for assault and false imprisonment, to which the damage pleaded not guilty, and that the plaintiff bad fiat meaultod him. The plaintiff and the defendant in this case are builders, and in April last the plaintiff sold the defendant a quantity of bricks at 11. per thousand. Two loads having been delivered, the plaintiff went to the defendant, when the defendant said that he had purchased the bricks from the plaintiff's carmen at 14s. a thousand, and pro duced • receipt. The plaintiff having stated in reply that the defendant had purchased stolen goods, the latter sent for a policeman and gave him into custody, when the plaintiff was taken through the streets to the magistrate, when the charge was dismissed. Mr. Chambers, in addressing the jury for the plaintiff, remarked, in reference to • suggestion thrown out on the other aide that this was an action that should be tried in the county court, that when he saw an attempt on the part of the legislature to deceive a jury by not telling thorn what the law really was, he would, as counsel, set the matter right. New, the recent act of parliament— the act passed last session—enacted the law as to costs. He deemed it his duty to say that the damages must be over N. to carry costa The act said 51., but it must be above that A plaintiff who felt be had suffered wrong could choose his own tribunal. No man was com pelled to go to a county court judge or to • magistrate f he might select his own tribunal, namely, twelve of his fellow countrvmen, to do justice as between him and the person of whom be complained. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said he fully concurred in the propriety of the act passed by the legislature ; uo doubt the counsel (Mr. Chambers) had =premed his sincere opinion on the act, but in his own opinion it was well framed to prevent actions for trifling amounts being brought in the superior courts. For himself, he was deter mind to enforce the an. If he were not mistakes the learned counsel was wrong in stating that a plaintiff could not have a jury in the county court. Mr. Chambers—Yes, a flay of eve. Mr. Baron Martin—Well, that may be. (To the jury.) I tell you that it is your duty to end damages for the plaintiff for the injury he has sustained, irrespective of costs. The jury at once returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. Mr. Baron Martin said he would now announce that he would is future carry out the act. Mr. liawkina—Then your lordship will act as if no act had& ? Mr. pans Baron Martin—l will net according to the law when the present retire was brought. Verdict accordingly.

The death of eucl.la-jah may make this intention a fixed determination, and, after win tering with the ship he will leave her and go towards the Pole, exploring, as he advances, the unknown region lying between Cape Willoughby and the entrance to Fury and Heels Straits. Thence he will go westward throve the Straits to Boothia and King William's Land, where the relics of Franklin's expedition were discovered by Captain M'Clintock, R.N. At that point Mr. Hall hopes to obtain more information in regard to rtions of that expedition.' Tar Bassi:us° or .—The Phare do la Manche, of Cherbourg, publishes • report from kc Levicaire, commissary of the Maritime Inscription, on the success of the operations which have taken place in the Bay of St. Brieuc for the breeding of oysters, agreeably to the directions of M. Costs. The re port states that • recent examination has fully and mita factorily proved the advantageous results obtained on the five bank' which have been laid down, and which have exceeded the most sanguine expecta tions. Three fascines, which were taken up inch*. criminately from one of the banks formed in Tune, 1859, contained about 20,000 oysters each of from one inch to two inches in diameter. The total expense for forming the above bank was 221 fr., and if the 900 fascines laid down on it be multiplied by 20,000, 6,000,000 oysters will be ob tained, which if sold at 20fr. a thousand, will produce L) 2 . 00fr. It' however, says the report, the number of on each fascine were to be reckoned at only 10,000, suns of 00,000 fr. would be received, which, for en ex penditure of only 221 fr., would give a larger profit than I any other known branch of industry.

The consumptive demand for serviceable kinds of wood is lair in amount, and the prices, without being large or steady, whatever tendency to change has been experienced ef late, have been rather of a favourable character than otherwise." A COLLISION OF ENOI/1101.—On Wednesday last two engines with mineral trains came into violent collision with each other on a single line of rails on the Monkland Railway. The fog was so dense that neither of the engine drivers perceived the approach of the opposite train until within a short distance.
