Mr. Alfred Mel lon'A )pt..ra, V ictori.u, which, it will be remembered, was produced with much success at this theatre lest season, was performed last evening with two or Om changes in the cast ; the great change being the ap pe.uunce of Miss Louisa l'yue iu the character of victoria. We need scarcely remind our readers that this errs is founded on the famous Adelphi melodrama of therms this, in which the late Yates made such an impression on the public by her beautiful out impressive impersonation of the heroine. The sibject of the tuclodramit is closely followed in the opera. V ictoriue, • poor sempstress, is sorely beset by the temptations thrown in her way by a rich seducer, but determines, before yielding, to "sleep upon it." She sleeps ; and her sleep is A dream of a course of life, beginning in gaiety and splendour, and terminating in ruin, shame, and dro.puir ; an accumulation of horrors from which she escapes by the simple action of waking. Mr. Mellon's music is simple, melodious, graceful, and free from 03004 affected imitations ,of the French school which are too frequent among our composers teethe English stage. The character of Victorine is perfectly fitted for Miss Louisa Fyne. She looked and acted the little griseffe charmingly, and in the concluding scenes of the terrible dream showed tr.‘gic powers of a high order. She rang beautifully : the asvatins, in particular, at the beginning of the second act, " oh, bright were my visions," was a piece of the mat brilliant vocalisation, and was ealternently moored. Mr. Henry Haigh acted the part of Michel with intelligence and feeling ; and his two principal ballads—" This flower, dear maid," and " The heart that is too lightly woo"—were en. cored with much warmth, and very deservedly. The tragi comic pert of Hector—the desperate ruffian in whom the spirit of the old soldier is not wholly extinct—was vigorously acted by Mr. H. Corn ; and Mr. Wharton gave considerable effect to the part of the seducer, Julian, in which he appeared for the first time. On the whole, this Inc. been a judicious and successful reproduction of a ster. ling English work. NAVAL AND MILITARY. ADMIKALTY, JAN. 7. APPOINTMENTS. siatant Paymaatcr M.

The committee's report will not, we believe, be adopted io its entirety. As regards the proportions in which the sums realised are to he distributed, they re ported in favour of the new scale framed tiering the progress of the Crimean war, somewhat prematurely, as it turned out, for no prize money was real ip& It seems that under the government of the East India Company ell prize money waa divceed of by the company taking one-half, and distributing the rest amongst the troops who had been engaged. 'The committee, we are informed, were in• dined to think that as at the time of the capture the crown had not deprived the court of directors of its governing power, one-half of the prise money should be handed over to them ; but the treasury maintained the opinion of the judge advocate general that the Queen had always an undisputed right to deal as she pleased with the pries money, and the eole amount will therefore fall to the forces, European and native, engaged, with the exception of the Nepanleee Contingent, who plundered indiscriminately on their own account. Under the new scale the appropriation of prise money is placed upon a much more liberal f ting than formeriy, and the private soldier will take a • bly larger proportion of the money than he would wader the old scale, which would appear to have been framed for the benefit of the officers alone. The amounts malised are very large, and we believe we are correct in stating that the sums stand in round numbers as follow:—For Delhi, :111 lace of rupees. or atlo,ooo/. ; for Liteknow, 15 lag of rupees, or 150,0001. -- Poet.

Yesterday morning an alarming circumstance marred at Astley's Royal Amphithentre,owMg to theinespe of the whole of the lions, the property of Mr. Crockett, from their deo, which occupied &plea, very near the stage. At about a quarter before eight the men who usually attend to mat away the manure were startled by the loud roaring of the lion., but as they bad on former is:onions heard somewhat minasr swede they proceeded with their work as meal. The noise, however, did not subside, but on the con trary increased, and in a few minute, the nom were horror struck at beholding one of the lions struggling with a man named Jarvey, a yard helper in the eetabbshment. Mr. Crockett's animal keeper was isseantly rent foe, and arrived in a very few minutes, but he not having the power over the infuriated beasts that Mr. Crockett had, immediately sent for that gentleman. On the arrival of Mr. Crockett he rushed nu to the stage, where the lion was running about with the unfortunate non Jurver is his mouth, to all sm. quite dead. Mr. Crockett Matently seized a stable lo a rad ' : e d dealt the lion a heavy blow ou the aide of the head, which mused it to let the man go; but, instead of canning away, he turned round and seemed inclined to spring upou his molter. Another powerful blow, however, made the enraged animal turn round and ran away. Medical aid was immediately sought for poor Jarvey, but oa the arrival Si the surgeon life was found to be ex tinct. After the body of Jarvey had been removed Mr. Crockett wait in search of the three lions who were now reaming about the theatre. One was seen running about at a remote corner of the stage, another was in the arena, and the other could not be seen. The lioness was the first that was attempted to be secured, bet this was a work of extreme denier and difilculty, as the moistants were all afraid d sees approaching the beast. On seeing Mr. Crockett the lioness made a dash through the pit saloon, whence she rushed up the box staircase and entered one of the private boxea, and took up a moat threatening attitude. Nothing daunted Mr. Crockett entered the box, placed a leathern collar round her neck, and having secured her bead, she was hauled out of the place by ropes and finally placed in security. From the private box Mr. Crockett saw another of the animals playing on the stage with a quan tity of ribbons and stage properties, and with comparatively little difficulty it was paced again in the cage, and after a few minutes' search the third was recaptured. At half-past Silvan yesterday morning the watchman of the theatre, who is on duty all night, left, at which hour, he says, all was perfectly quiet and safe. In consequence of the large lion being unwell it had been parted from its companions, and it is supposed that in endesvourisg to join it one of the three lions in the other compartment of the cage must have broken down the partition and thus displaced the iron bars. The greatest excitement and consternation prevailed for some time in the theatre, and it required Mr. Crockett's utmost =non to convince the attendants that no further need be apprehended. A searching inquiry will be intoall the circumstmees connected with the unfortu• Gate event before the coroner. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON,CHATHAN, AND DOVER RAILWAY. TEYNHAM, Moenay. Another victim has been added to the number of death• caused by the sad accident which occurred near this station to the last down train from Victoria-station at a late hoer on Returda, night, the engine driver, William Matthews= —not Pattison, as was previously stated—having died, from the effects of the fearful injuries he had re ceived, at a late hour last night, making the third death in connection with this appalling accident. The three men whose live* have been sacrificed were excellent servants of the company, and were exceedingly trustworthy men. They leave wives and families. The results of the accident were even of a more frightful character than was described in our yesterday's report, and the only surprise u that every soul in the train was not killed on the spot, considering the fearful wreck which has been made of the engine, tender, and all the carriages. On the engine bounding off the metals, which are torn up and twisted into all manner of shapes, it and the tender appear to have run a short distance, and then both to have turned bodily over down the embankment, which at that spot is not very high, alighting in a field below. The carriages and guard's vans composing the train were also dragged off the metals, and turned complete!, over, those behind rush ing forwani on the front ones, the whole being dashed to pieces ; indeed, so entirely was the work of demo lition e ff ected, that wheel., huge pieces of iron, and portions of the carnage§ and engines were Nattered in all directions, leaving scarcely any distinguishable portions of the car riages remaining. 'the railway officials, who hastened to the scene of the accident, declare that in all their experi ence of railway accidents they never before beheld one so fearful in its results. So completely were the first-cl ass 'and otter centilitre demolished that the workmen who were employed during the night in clearing the line lighted fires of the broken dMria, which were kept burning all night. It is a fortunate circumstance that there were only a very few passengeri in the train at the time of the accident, most of the carriages being entirely empty, or the conse quences of the accident would have been of the most fright ful character. As it is most of the few passengers travelling at the tine, received injuries, though not of a very alarming mature. During the whole of yesterday numbers of workmen were eroployed in putting the down line in order, and in raising Art was left of the disabled engine and tender, a work of great difficulty. Under the direction of Mr. Finnigan, the manger, the line was perfectly c leared, an d th e train re. sumed on both lime last night. The bodies of the three deceased men are lying in the vicinity of the station to await the coroner's inquest, notice hating been forwarded to Mr. T. Hills, the coroner for West Kent. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. GREAT Yusmorrru, SUNDAY. —This moruiug, about nine o'clock, a brig was obeerved to get on the Cross sand off this place, the wind at the time being very squally, accompanied by heavy falls of snow. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at C a istor was immediately launched at great risk, and after crossing through the heavy serf on the Barber and Scroby sands, the lifeboat's crew boarded the vessel. After great difficulty, they took out the crew of eight meu, with whom they returned to the beach at Caistor, and afterwards forwarded them to the Sailors' Home here. The vessel proved to be the Arethusa, of Blyth, from Shields to Dieppe, with coals, and is now fast disappearing, being sunk on the sand. It should be added that the shipwrecked crew had only time to jump into the boat before the vessel went down. Too much praise cannot be given to the lifeboat's crew for tho promptitude with which they bore up to them, as the sea was very heavy, and the thick stormy weather at times completely blinded them. PORTHCAWL, GLAMORCANRHIRE, JAN. 5. A vessel was observed on the Skerworither Sands, on the 3rd instant. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was im mediately manned and Lunched, and proceeded off to her. When they reached the ship, she was found to he &bun doned, and proved to be the Mary Jane, of St. Ives, bulen with copper ore. Untidy the tide was flowing, and the lifeboat's crew were enabled to get her off the sand, and bring her, little damaged, in safety to Porthoawl. A Nonlife FE tRTUL SCENE THE NORTHUMBERLAND . ON COAST. —On Saturday there was another fearful scene on tho Northumberland coast. The fishing villages Culler °mite, Newbiggin, and Alnmouth were thrown in the greatest state of consternation in consequence of a sudden squall of wind having nearly overwbebned thirty fishing cables from Cullercoata, twenty from Newbiggin, and seven from Alnmouth. The three lifeboats of the - National Life boat Institution on those stations were immediately launched, and proceeded off to the seam of danger in readi ness for any contingency that might arise. The appearance of the lifeboats amongst the fishing-boats appeared to give the men fresh courage, and fortunately all the boat+, though there were many hairbreadth escapee, succeeded in reaching the harbours in safety.

The funeral of the poor man took place on the same day at Freshwater. The Rev. J. Yellow Gate, Hon. Sec. of the Brook Station of the Isle of Wight Branch of the National Lifeboat Institution, and the crew of the lifeboat at that place, attended the funeral, in order to mark their respect for the deceased, who was a quiet, useful man. The institution has granted 10/. in aid of the local subscriptions for the widow and her six little children. RAINING or TIM SUNKEN STEAMER ZEBRA IN rrix TIMKEN.— This vessel, chartered by the government for conveyance of guns, shot, and sheM to Malta and Gi braltar, and which sank a few dave sins, a abort distance from the Royal Victoria Victualling-yard, at Deptford, when run ashore by the pilot owing to the steering gear breaking, has been recovered, Mr. Stanley, connected with the shipping department of Deptford Dockyerd, having sug gested the raising of her by means of air-tight barrels, which experiment, on the rising of the tide, was success ful in floating her. She is now lying at the western end of the Royal Victoria Victualling-yard, and yesterday after noon men were employed in getting out the remainder of her stores, preparatory to the necessary repairs being car ried out, her bottom having been found to be considerably damaged.

They were dressed iu rd kirmbeef cuelnirne— soma in --.---- their unitonii with their 'eayoreets hanging by thri side. On their landing, many of them proceeded at once to the Royal Hotel, from where tke oreaibus was about to leave for Truro, to meet the train ; others weut by special conveyance, ; many had to walk there, and not a small number remained at l'altnouth on Saturday night, lamenting littcaly that there was no railway at Falmouth. As the several omnibuses left they were loaded inside and out by these valiant fellows, who at paved tote jolly and is excellent spirits, although many of hem belted carewcen, fatigued, and dirty. Those re ' mouth soon got themselves prim ' and paraded streets during the evening, equipped in their Ted coats, turned out in green. On the last 'Ws leaving Falmouth en Saturday . afternoon, one of these valiant fellows, who was seated am the luggage ou the outside, commenced singing, "There is no place like home." The Malawi left Naples on the 14th of November last with about 250 of these Englishmen on board, but the men any that there was not berth.room for more than 140 or 150, and on arriving at Gibraltar some 70 or 80 were left behind there : the remainder were brought on and landed at Falmouth. They sadly complain of the accommodation and provisions provided for them ; at times, they say, they have been short of provisions, and for two days before Christmas-day they wore placed on half diet ; they were also short of hands in coming from Naples to Gibraltar, there being not crew enough to furl the sails. Ordinarily the voyage is made in five dare, but they were out 11 days before reaching Gibraltar. There were, however, three more men shipped there. The coals were stored under- neath the men's sleeping apartments, and from their being *owed so thickly, great difficulty was experienced in getting at the coals; the consequence was that the fires went out, the steamer stopped, and they were in very shallow water, aid at one time within ten minutes' sail of the shore, on the coast of Barbary. The men talk much of the hardships they have endured, of 1 having marched :i7 miles without food, and some of them without shoes, and they do not speak at all in flattering terms of General Peer* who was their colonel; they sadly complain of his harsh conduct towards them, althouA, to use their own words, they say he is a good shot, and a daring fellow. The Malan° took in AO tons of coal at Falmouth, and left at about two o'clock yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. The omnibuses from Falmouth yesterday (Sunday) were again crowded with some of the passengers, whilst some went on by the steamer. Another steamer, with a second party, was exported to leave Naples for England shortly after the Me lasso. The parties were so merry here last night, that two of them were taken into custody by the police and lodged in the lock-up. Another account oar :—"We learn that the 3felaxso bad an abundance of coals on board, and consequently need not have put into Falmouth on that pretext. It is more than probable, therefore, that it was to afford an opportunity for those who were sick of the treatment they had received to leave the vessel and make their way home by land, thereby lessening the number which she would otherwise be obliged to take to London, this being very far beyond what the Custom-house law would permit. We learn that the treat ment of the passengers has been even worse than when they went out. More than 100 were miprovided with sleeping places, and were consequently compelled to lie upon the deck in a bleak wind, with the sea occa deadly breaking over them, having nothing but a single blanket to cover them. Some crowded round the stoke-bolo to get a little warmth, and others huddled together to protect themselves in the way they best could. We are informed that at Gibraltar the vessel was detained, on the day appointed for sailing, by an order from the governor, who bad learnt that some deserters from the army at Gibraltar were on beard ; and whilst the ship was detained for the search, the skipper being himself on shore, about one hundred of the passenger, availed themselves of the opportunity to go on shore for an hour to purchase small baskets of fruit, &c. In the meantime the skipper came on board, and finding the men on shore, instantly gave orders to weigh anchor, and steamed off. One or two succeeded in getting on board, but nearly a hun. ' dred have been left behind, most of them without any money, their knapsacks, lwr, &c., being on board. We am creditably informed, through one of the passengers, that a conversation was overheard, in which the skipper was requested to seek some opportunity of leaving as many on shore at Gibraltar as possible, as it would be im prudent to appear in England with so many above the com plement. If this fact be established, and pressed home upon the owners, as it deserves to be, we should hope that those who have been thus left behind will have their wrongs re dressed ; for even admitting that they were ashore without leave, surely the waiting an extra half-hour, which would have enabled all to have returned, could not have mattered much, especially when it is known thather remainingtwenty. four hours at Falmouth is by no means necessary. About 100 were so disgusted with theirtreatment that theyleft the ship at Falmouth, preferring to travel the remainder of the journey at their own ezeenae. A number of the men were in Plymouth yesterday." THE LIBERATION OF COUNT TELEKI: The Dresden. Journal publishes the following despatch, addressed on the let instant by Count Rechberg to Baron Werner, Austrian Minister at the Court of Saxony H. le Baron,—l have already informed your excellency by telegraph that Count Teleki, arrested at Dresden, and given over to the Imperial authorities on the requisition of the tribunal of Vienna, was set at liberty yeeterdav by order of the Emperor. His Majesty admitted Count Telekl to his presence, and the Count gave the Emperor—in his duty to whom be failed through his acts for move than ten years—a promise to abstain provisionally from all political *vity. His Majesty has deigned to order, in virtue of his sovereign power, the ircuutiliate liberation of the count, and the suspension of all judicial prceecation in regard to him. The Imperial government having learnt that Count Ta 4.7 ., - was at Dresden with an English passport, in the same of John Harold, thought it would deserve the reproach of a d. pable weakness if it should not remember the existence of a convention between Austria and the Slat*, of the I :ermaa Confederation for the reciprocal extradition of political criminals. The Imperial government wee too well acquainted with the firm and unshakeable sentiments of justice of his Majesty the King of Saxony not to be coirrineed that the Saxon government would never let itself he turasd aside by the fear of the pusionate attacks of parties from fulfilling a duty conueratcal by treaties. On the other hand, it was permitted it to mappens that the Seams government would consider its task slim. plified by thefact that the fate of the refugee - arrested ah Dresden would attest anew the clemency and magnanimity of car noble sovereign. The high opinion which we have of the loyalty of the Sazon government has net been de oeivad. Per my put I have the liveliest satisfaction in begging your excellency to communicate this news to M. le n de Beuat,who has known how to associate with the accomplishment oleo international duty the humane inte rest he felt for the person he had to wrest. Hammon. A Vienna oorreepondent of the indipmdasteo &lqc gives the following details of Count Td eki'e. interview with the Emperor: Count Teleki bad just been removed from the fortress Josephatadt to the poison of the Criminal Tribmol of Vienna. After his first examination he mete a few lime is /Mach to Baran Vey, hi which he said that, being abut up in a prison belonging to a biliousl whom authority he del net Recognise, he binged the baron to grant him en interview. Some hours afterwardnan officer came and took the prisoner sway with him in a carriage. The count soon found himself in the cabinet, not of the Chancellor of Hun guy bed of the Emr, al whose side were Baron Vay and his chief aidenth, Count ie Crenueville. With out giving Count Teleki time to recover himself the Emperor said— "! know that you an the enemy al my government, and I am acquainted with all the revolutionary piste in which von have taken part, or at hest been aware of. Neverthe less, lam ready to reeky, you to full and entire liberty on three conditions, which you will promise to observe, on your word as a man of honour and a gentlemen. Timis conditions are, that you lima off all political relations with foreign countries, that yen 11l your residence in m y states, and that you abstain from all political agitation. ' "Even within lawful limits." asked the count, after a few momenta' reflection. `• For the present, at least, such is my desire,' replied the Emperor. The count reflected a few minutes ; then he- declared himself ready to accept the proposed conditions. He was already on the threshold of the door, on his way Mnb the room, when he turned back, and begged his Maienty to accept his thanks. He then went with Baron Vay to the house of Count Bremen ; but his emotion was so great that he nearly fainted. CANADA. ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. St. Luke's Hospital, Old-street, was last night the scene of a happy gathering. One of the hugs, wards of the hospital bad been duly ornamental with lamps and chandeliers, festoons of flowers, evergreens, Chinese lanterns, flap, engravings, &c, while in one portion of the room wee a gigantic Christmas tree, furnished with every conceivable kniek-knack, bonbons, fruits, toys, pincushions and the like. A temporary orchestra was erected, in which a good band of musicians was stationed, whose lively tunas for three long hours enabled the company to keep up an almost continuous dance. The company and the dancers consisted, with a few exceptions, of the inmates of the institution, and a more ezhilirating sight it would be difficult to conceive. The vacuity of intellect which is generally to a greater or lesser extent manifest in the patient could 10 no point be traced. Every sense and feeling appeared to be concentrated in one object, and the pleasure which they evinced, coupled with the zeal which they displayed in every kind of dance, removed from the visitors even the suspicion that they were among people presumed to be and treated as insane. The mode of treatment at St. Luke's has tinder I gone so complete a metamorphosis within the last few years, by the institution of kindness for severity, and in dulgence for restrictions, that the maladies of the brain have been rendered as subservient to medical science as the afflictions of the body. lk ot only did the patients ma nifest an appreciation of their evening's enjoyment by dancing as regularly and methodically as in We best con ducted ball-room, but one or two ladies sat down tattle piano and played and Nang with great composure and correctness. At half-past nine they paraded two and two around the Christmas tree ? and were rewarded by a diatrilrition of the fruits with which that tree had been loaded for their gra tification. Dancing was then resumed, and kept up with the lame wonted spirit that had characterised the danoers in the early part of the evening. An hour later " God Save the Queen" and " Rule Britannia" were sling with perfect enthusiasm, and the lunatics (?), having partaken of buns and spiced ale, dispersed to their separate dormitories with much apparent delight at the pleasures they had expo. risme& THE FORTHCOMING HILARY TERM.—On Friday next Hilary Teem will commence, when the equity and law courts will resume their sitting". There is a good deal of business before the courts, and in the Divorce Court the annals number as many as 187 causes—nearly as much as the arrears in the three common law courts. In the Court of Queen's Bench the arrears are 104 ; in the Common Pleas 53 ; and in the Exchequer 65 ; amounting to 222 rules and other matters. In the Queen's Bench there is 1 role for judgment and 61 for argument, whilst in the special paper there arc 2 for judgment and 29 for argument, in ad. dition to which there are 11 enlarged roles. In the Common Pleas there are 10 enlarged rules and 21 for new trials. One matter stands for the opinion of the court, and there are 21 demurrers and special arguments entered. In the Court of Exchequer there are 2 serves and appeals from the Court of Exchequer for judgment, and 8 for argument. In the peremptory paper then are 5 rules for discussion, and in the sp•ml paper 8 roles for judgment and 13 for argument. Of new trial rules there are 9 for judgment and 20 for argu ment. The Probate Court will not sit till Saturday, for the want of accommodation at Westminster ; and the divorce cases will not be taken until next week. The judges will not breakfast with the Lord Chancellor on Friday, and therefore the courts will be opened at the usual hour. MITROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEYONAIIIRE -SQUAIi, OITY.— The aggregate number of patients relieved dudeg the week ending January 5 was : Medical. 913; surgical, 363—total, 1,296, of which 410 were now cases. THE EXTRADITION CASE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Toronto was held on the llsth ult., in St. Lawrence Hall, is that city, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the fugi tive slave Anderson, and of taking steps with a view to in ducing the government to prevent his being returned to a state of slavery. The Toronto Globe says :—" The weather we. most inclement, such as would have made a large meet ing for any ordinary purpose impossible ; but in spite el the storm and rain, the hail last night was crowded with as numerous an assemblage as almost ever convened within its walls, evidencing the deep interest felt is Anderson's case by all classes of our citizens. The mme thing was shown by the hearty enthusiasm with which the sentiment* uttered by the various symikers were reechoed by tho audience. As might have been expected, the meeting com prised a considerable number of our coloured citizens. The MAYOR was called to the chair. Resolutions in favour of the objects of the meeting were carried enthusiastically, and the following petition to the Governor-General was unanimously adopted : " The memorial and petition of the undersigned most re spectfully showeth : ' That as inhabitants of this free British province, and warmly attached to the British constitution, we feel deeply concerned in any event, or act of civil administration, by which the reputation of our country as one whose soil can not be polluted with slavery, might be tarnished, or the in. fiuence of British laws given directly or indirectly to the. upholding of a cruel oppression. " That, alarmed by the mauner in which the rash, and as your petitioners believe, improper act of a local autho rity in Canada, in arresting and detaining wader an alleged charge of murder in the state of Missouri, the person of Anderson, now in gaol in Toronto, has been affirmed by a majority of the Judges of the Queen's Bench, your peti timers gladly betake themselves to your Excellency as the acting head of the executive government, in the earnest hope that such a decision nuiy not prevent your Excellency from disposing of this ace in harmony with the spirit of our laws and the dictates of eternal justice. "Thatyour petitioners believe that a just as well as liberal interpretation of the Ashburton Treaty would exempt the accusal party, Anderson, from the range of its application ; and they are strengthened in this belief, not only by the authority of a judge of long experience on the Queen's Bench itself but by the opinions of eminent prac- Mid lawyers in Curds and by decisions in analogous cases both in Britain sad the United States; also by documents extant and accessible, illustrating the meaning of Lord Ashburton and other parties closely connected with the ar rangements of said treaty. That were the prisoner in question remanded to a United States jury in the circumstances alleged, sad in the present state of the slays law, the prisoner's opportunities of obtaining impartial judgment are go smell, and sn dimi nished beyond all that could have been foreseen the parties to the Ashburton Treaty —espe cially since the decision in what is known es the Died Scott case, which affirms that a coloured person bas no rights that he can anent, or which citizens of the republic are bound to respect—that his rendition on the evidence alleged would be to recognise • state of things never contemplated by those who framed the treaty. And your memorialists submit that where so much as a doubt of the reading of the treaty lutists, the benefit should, as usual, but especially where such momentous inter,ts are concerned, be given to the accused : and the case, so far as it happily comes for preliminary judgment before our own government, should be decided in a large end humane con struction of the clauses of the treaty and the acts of par liament hearing upon it, rather than liy niece technicalities. That the consequences of disposing of this muse other wise, cannot, your mernorialista hope, but appear to your excellence and your government most dangerous to the sacred interest' of just liberty, In rendering the condition of many industrious residents in this province one of extreme peril. Nothing being easier tbau by means of such evidence as hes been brought forward in this case to dreg them back to bondage, or subject them W the cruel pains of a law which gives no equal protection to the slave, whether as regards life, chastity, or religion ; and thus to render our happily, free Mentor/, a hunting-ground for persons whose crime may only have been that they dared to be better than slaves, and defended, at the risk of their own lives, or with pos sible danger to the lives of aggressors and spoilers, their inalienable rights and their dearest domestic relation.. "That, reposing confidence in the generous and British like spirit of your excellency, and in the belief that your memorialists plead only for what is just end right. according to the law of asthma, the awed demands of relirion, and the true reeling of international compacts, they pray y our excellency to release the prisoner aforesaid, and lipid him not liable to be rendered up to foreigu authorities as claimed." At the conclusion of the meeting the Mayor seat he was exceedingly gratified at the manner in which the whole pro. ceedin®tbad been conducted. He hoped, however, that they would respect the law.
