FENWICIeS CASZ.—The points reserved by the Court cluing the trial of Lieutenant G.R.S.Fenwick, and moved in arrest of judgment, were, la. Whether the jurisdiction was proved as bid in the indict. meet, e. whether the surrender had heti committed within the territory of a native Prince in India, in alliance with the Govern ment of Bombay. 2d. Whether there was evidence to prove Lieutenant Fenwick a British subject. id. Whether, as to this indictment, the Court had jurisdiction under the 26th Geo. 111. cap. $7 and lie, which makes the servants of the Company, and all other of his Majesty's subjects, resident in India, amenable to the Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and Jaol Deli very in the British settlement in India, for murders, felonies, &c. done by them in any of the countries or parts of Asia, Africa, or America, beyond the Cape of Good Hope, to the Strats of Magel lan, within the limits of the exclusive trade of the said Company. As to the first point, the Court held that there was no legal and admissible evidence that the murder had been committed within the territories of a Native Prince, in alliance with the Government of Bombay. The treaty of alliance with the Guicowar was said to be in writing, and that there could be no other evidence of that treaty admitted, except the treaty itself, which had not been produced, and the evidence was not suffi cient to prove that the Rajab of Loonawarra was in al liance at all with the Government. As to the second point, the Court did not think it necessary to give any formal decision, but intimated an opinion ,thdt it considered all Commissioned Officers of the Company as having King's Commissions, and therifore as his Majesty's subjects. Aa to the third point, the necessary averments were not in the indictment. The Court therefore decided, that Lieutenant Fenwick should be discharged, but took time to consider the mode in which that should be done. CALAIS, DEC. 23. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. In the course of my travels in Germany, many parts of the country presented a most frightful picture, from the late inundations. During the journey from Ileswig to Hamburgh, I saw some hundred miles laid under water; the road in severatplaces covered with it, which obliged rue to take circuitous routes through the fields. I often thought I should have been carried down many currents, cart iage and baggage, such WAS their rapidity. The scene around was awful---houses ne.rrly covered with water—in short, the whole appeared one vast sea or extensive lake. In Hamburgh, the water rose to so great a height as to cover many of the streets, where boats, were sailing, for the relief of the sufferers in the shops'and apartments under ground, which are nume rous in that city. Many party of the country about Bremen, Munster, Aix la Chapelle, &c. are also over flowed. When I arrived at Brussels, I saw Mr. Strat fda Canning. He and Sir C. Bagot and Lord Strang ford bad interviews. Sir Charles has unfortunately lost books, prints, &c. to the amount of £2,000, in a vessel in which they were sent to England horn Petersburgh. The tax on dogs has givers offence to many, who are dogmatical in their opinion of its injustice. One thou , sand dogs, to my knowledge, mere killed after the law had passed, and that, too, in a single village. From Ghent to the French frontier, I found many parts laid under water, which extended to the very edge of the road, on each side, and exhibited a woful picture, from surrounding so many houses. Other parts in the direction of this place (Calais) are also co vered. Since last Sunday it has blown the most tre mendous gales at South-west ever recollected by the oldest inhabitant, with a heavy sea. Yesterday, the tempest was most frightful, when a ship ran upon the sand near the Pier-head, where she now lies, with her sails torn and 'flying like strings. Only one vessel has arrived since last week, which was from England, with £lOO,OOO of specie, from a London Crcesus, which has been sent on from this place to Holland. During the hurricane, the thermometer of Fahrenheit remained pretty stationary, it was two days at 52. This morning, nine o'clock, it was at 37, and the wind changed to N.E. The inns here have profited by the storm, as they are filled with persons, who come daily from Par is, from the Netherlands, and other parts, to embark. Considerable improvements have been made here, by making footpaths in the streets and paving them, and agreeable walks are now forming all round the ram parts. There is an English congregation here, of which. the Rev. Mr. Liptrap is Clergyman, whose young daughter officiates as clerk. There are three services on Sunday—half-past ten, half-past twelve, and six in the evening. Your paper, the STAR, I see here; but several of the London Journals are excluded. This, however, does not extend to the capital, where the English opposition prints are received, not only at the News-rooms, but Government Offices. Metals of ail descriptions, with the exception of lead, which is gradually advancing, have recently experienced a most tremendous rise. Block-tin, both in Cornwall and Wales, was the other day to be purchased for 90s. It is now I2os. per cwt. Iron continues to sustain its very high price, and Copper Ore is much higher than it was. Yesterday, at half-past eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the body of the mother of Mrs. FAverLzftox was re moved from the residence of the latter, in Arundel street, for interment. The procession consisted of a hearse and four, preceded by a lid of plumes, and fol lowed by two mourning coaches and pair. In the coach which immediately followed the heatse, were Mrs. FAUNTLEROY . B son, another youth, apparently of the same age, and two elderly Gentlemen. Three Gentlemen occupied the second coach. There were not more per sons assembled than are ordinarily attracted by the ap pearance of a burial ceremony. Mrs. FAUNTLEROT con tinues to be absot bed in the deepest mental distress.

PASSAGE THROVISO THE STRAITS OR MAGELLAII.-f-The Salem Re- Osier gives the following directions for navigating these Straits, on the authority of Captain VFRILL, late of the Wasp, of New York : Vessels bound through those Straits should keep the north shore on board, as far as Indian Sound, and then take the south shore as far as the west entrance or Cape Pillar ; by so doing, they will haye the advantage of prevailing winds and good anchorage.—Pass ing the Straits front the west, run for thelatitude of Cape Pillar, and from the eastward, for Queen Charlotte's Foreland, and then strike over for the north shore, and look for a small shoal, on the south side of the Straits, about five milesbelow the Narrows. This is the only danger in the Straits, except a few sunken rocks in the west entrance, on the north shore, and many small islands. There. fere the passagejs safe and easy, by keeping the south shore from the westward, as far as Indian Sound, and then taking the north shore on board. Vessels passing through these Straits have nothing to fear from the Indians, as they are very inoffensive, and free from any hostile intentions. IiONTSVILLZ (UNITZD STATES), Nov. 2.—Samuel W. Standifer, a young man of respectable connexions, suddenly disappeared on Thursday evening the 21st ult. in a way so mysterious ai to induce a general belief in the neighbourhood that he was murdered. Suspicion immediately attached to his uncle, Jesse Standifer, an old and respectable citizen, with whom there was known to be a misunderstanding. But what gave colouring to the supposition that he was murdered, and that his uncle was the perpetrator of the foul deed, was, that the next morning the young man's horse, saddle and bridle, were found at the old gentleman's cotton-gin, about 200 yards from his dwelling. Upon inspection, the saddle and bridle were found to be stained with blood; the bridle-reins contained several spots, and the saddle was marked with a large impression, as if made with a bloody hand. This discovery at once fixed the guilt upon the unfortunate uncle, and the whole neigh bourhood was excited to an active inquiry into the cir cumstances. Search was made for several days for the murdered man, but in vain—he was not to be found.— Guilt, nevertheless, was fixed upon the uncle, and he was arrested with his two sons, and brought before 'a Magistrate, when the following facts were disclosed : It was proved by the uncle that the young man was seen by a neighbour of the first respectability, on the evening of his departure, riding on the road which leads by the uncle's; that after. the young man had passed his uncle's about two miles and a half,the witness, between seven and eight o'clock at night, over took him a-foot, stopped and conversed with him several minutes. The witness suspecting from his conduct that something was the matter, pressed upon him a disclosure, when the young man, enjoining secrecy, stated that he was about , to play a trick, and abandoned his horse, saddle, and bridle, for that purpose, and was then on his way to some distant place, where he would never be heard from again. The witness described his person, clothing, &c. and was positive as to the identity r f his person.— Two wither witnesses were examined on the part of his 'inch., by whom it appeared that a young man, cot- I responding precisely with the description of Samuel Standifer, had lodged in the house of one of them on that night, and related to them that he was by the name of Standifer, and nephew to the accused.— This evidence being so full and explicit that the young man was still living, the uncle and his sons were immediately discliarged. The uncle and his friends, conscious of their innocence, and the more fully to acquit themselves of the unjust imputation, immediately dispatched a messenger in search of the , nephew, who, after eight or ten days, found him near Florence, and brought him to Huntsville, alive, last I Sunday evening. It turns out that the, young man re sorted to this nefarious and wicked stratagem to effect his uncle's destruction; and actually cut his own finger, stained his bridle and saddle, and left them and hishorse at his uncle's cotton-gin, for the express purpose of induc ing the public to believe that his uncle was the murderer. A most diabolical scheme, but his plot fai!ed. In addi tion to the evidence given on the examination of his _uncle, it is proper to mention that the young roan be lute his departure, had made a confidante of ahother uncle, to whom he had disclosed his wicked intention, and enjoined him to perpetual secresy ; but when the intended victim was found in jeopardy, the unc:e promptly interposed and disclosed the whole scheme.— American Paper. mitt lIETIVEENPARD A.vti SAMPSON (THe BIRMINGHAM nu/TM). A fight took place yesterday, between the above men, in a field near Perry Lodge Farm, beyond the 56th mile on the Birmingham road, and thong!' the rain poured down in torrents, it could ,not damp ti 4 ardour of the populace, who thronged in innuinei able numbers to witness the inglorious scene, and, " tell it eat alt Gatk, h we are informed that women lined the way, a distance of four miles from the scene of action. At 25 minutes past 12, Ward threw his castor into the ring, seconded by Oliver and Paddington Jones — colour, blue. Sampson soon followed, seconded by Peter Crawley and a Birmingham man—colour, red. Boils men looked in good condition. The colours were tied to the stake, surtnautited by a peaqock% feather. - Room 1. They shook hands, and soon looked fiercely at e.ch other. Sparring—Ward made a left hander. which Sampson stop r ed —another attempt, and then be bit Sampson in the breast. A bold rally round the ring, and in a close both down together. Ward drew first blood from the mouth. 2. Both in high spirits—sparring-.-Ward hit right and left on Sampson's snorter—a rally, and to it again—counter hitting, and Sampson thrown—Ward slipping gently backward.—" Bravo! bravo ! Ward." 3. Ward slipped down in a short setae. 4. A bold round—giving and taking most lustily, till Ward knocked Sampson down with a back-handed slap over the right log. —" Go it, my boys." 5. Another round of the same kind—both went in stoutly, and Sampson was thrown out of the ring.—Huzaa! 6. Sampson tried to lead, and put in—a miss. Ward took the lead in return, boring him right to the topes, and bitting him tre mendously in the month, till he went down with another slap on the ivories(Loud cheers for Ward). 7. A short round—Ward slipped and went down. S. Ward began by a slap on the mouth, and slipped, 9. Sampson weak and blowing ; Ward's left hand cut. A slippery rally round the ring, and Ward went down. No harm done. iu. Ward, smiling confidently, went in and cbanceried Sampson till he fell from severe punishment. Waid slipped backwards (Huzza for Ward.) 11. Sampson went in with right and left, but was parried, and he floundered down in the mud with a blow on the cheek. 12. Sampson's mouth and nose in unison with his colour—sparring, and heavy hits on his face ; counter hitting till IVard again slipped • down.-2 to 1 on Ward—no takers. 13. " Ten pound to one that Ward don't get a black eye," said Oliver. Cool sparring till Sampson went in, and WAS met with tre mendous facers, when he fell, Ward's knee falling on his breast.— " That will do it, Jemmy !" 14. Ward's science very superior—Sampson still bold—Ward put in a severe blow upon the ribs, and sprung back .—( Bravo !) Sampson went in, but in vain; em sprung back, aid then return ing with great energy, knocked Sampson round the ring, and finally threw him—(Glorious for Jem). 15. Sampson planted a left-hander on Ward's nose, and drew blood. Ward paid him with compound interest, cutting his right cheek, and in a terrible close, threw him heavily—(Loud shouts for Ward). 16. A smart round, in which the Brummagem Youth tried to fight, but Ward's tactics evaded him, till, by over-nrctehing him self, Ward fell, smiling. 17. A hard round in favour of Ward, who threw Sampson most manfally,with a dreadful facer.—" That will win it, my boy." 18. A chancery round, in which Ward peppered Sampson's face most unmercifully, till he threw him, falling on the top of him— (Great shouts for Ward). 19. Ward went in banging. and hit a left-hander on Sampson's mug—a close, and Sampson down heavily. 20. An extraordinary good round—short but sharp—giving and taking most keenly, till Sampson fell front the bard hits of Ward. Both had hold of each other's heads, pelting most furiously, till both went down—Sampson under.—Any odds on Ward. 21. Another smart round, in which Sampson was thrown with spirit, Ward falling on hint.—" Go it again, We'd, that'll do." 22. Anotlr_r round of the same description. 23. Ward hit Sampson a tremendous body blow, and went in to put the finishing stroke—a close, in Which Sampson struggled for existence, and was thrown heavily, Ward slipping backwards upon him—time being called, Sampson could not rise, victory was declared for Ward—but just upon the elevation of the bat, Samp son was brought to the scratch grogglfied. 24. Sampson merely made his re-appearance to be heavily thrown ; Ward, In the fall, bestriding him, laughing.—" Take him away," was the universal cry. 25. A short round in which Ward slipped. and Sampson fell on the top of him. 0 ' That's queer; what d'ye think of it now," said the Brummagem*. 96. Ward's science wonderful, he went in and dropped Sampson with a blow on the mouth—" It's all right again," " How is it now ?" front the Londoners. 27. Sampson came up weak, and was thrown easily; on being raised on his second's knee, his head hung down and the rattles were in his throat; time being called, it was found to be useless to pm him up again, and Ward was declared the victor amidst the loudest acclamations from ail parts of the ring, minus the Brum magems....Ward scarcely bore a mark of the effects of his fight— And had everything now, as Bill Gibbons would say, Like the bull inrhe china-shop, all his own way. RILMARKL—The result of this battle proves Ward to be one of the best, if not the very best fighter in the ring : he is very power ful, and his science is of the first order. No lawyer ever stood so fair for the Woolsack as Ward does for the Championship, if he takes care of himself. With regard to Sampson, we should be un just if we were not to say that he fought with a bravery and a de termination worthy of.a better result. His confidence was certainly mistaken, but having done his best. his backers have nothing with which to charge Aim. He is a good man, although somewhat slow, and there are men in the ring with whom he may be fairly matched, but Ward is certainly not of the number.—The battle lasted thirty nine minutes. ~~ _ t PRoPosEi) TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Silt—Although laid up along shore unfit for sea see) vice, I yet keep a pretty sharp look out on all that passes, and have not overlooked the-great Canal which is projected for ships to pass through between the Eng lish and the Bristol Channels, without going round the Land's End. Of lice, indeed, I have hardly done anything else but think of it;. for as my bed-room faces to the West, a situation I chose that I might bet ter hear the whistling of the and Mowing as it does for five days out of the seven from that quarter,) and which, when laying snug in a warm berth, is a com fort that no landsman can thoroughly feel or under stand—of late, I say, the westerly gales, which have almost incessantly prevailed for these last three months, have kept me awake many an hour, thinking of the livid this great Ship Canal, when it is made, will do to all persons engaged in shipping affairs,to merchants, owners, and sailors ; the many hundreds of lives that will be preserved by it; the shipwrecks that will be 'avoided; and the property that will be saved.—l do believe, Mr. Editor, that there is hardly a master or sailor, in any of our coasters that base to go round the Laud's End, who would not cheerfully give up a part of his' wages to promote the great undertaking. I have mid the Reports of Mr. Telford, and of Cap tain Nicholls, at least such parts of them as have been published in the newspapers. With the Engineer I have nothing to do, not understanding anything about his business; although, if he will make a good harbour at Beer, he shall have my best thanks ; but to the Cap tain I have something tkaay. He seems to have made his statements fair enough on the whole, a!though he does not speak of this great Canal in the high: ter ms of praise and commendation that every sailor ought to use in speaking of it. Had he spent as many weary days and anxious dismal nights as 1 have done, in beating about off the Lizard and down Channel against wes terly gales, he would have expressed himself in a differ ent manner of the dangers and delays which vessels en counter in passing the Cornish Coast. Perhaps. however, Captain Nicholls was right in wording his Report so cautiously, considering the use for which it was intended, and the importance of the subject: yet I think he ought not to have overlooked :ogle circumstances calculated to place the advantages which the Canal holds out in a clearer point of view. One of these circumstances so omitted by him, and a most material one too, is the detention of vessels in the ports on the English Channel by westerly winds. For the last three months, there have been almost uninterrupted gales from the Westward, many of them very fatal in their effects ; and during all this time our Western Ports, from Puttsmouth downwards, have been crowded by vessels waiting for a change of wind to get round the land. Now, if this great Ship Canal was made, all the vessels bound for Ireland, the West coast of England, and the Bristol Channel, would pass through it to the Northward, free horn delays or danger, and vessels would also come along it to the Southward, in their passages from thence. Captain Nicholls might have fairly stated that the detention in these ports is to the lull as great as what he has estimated to be, at the ports in the Bristol Channel, where vessels are some times wind-bound for thirteen weeks together, whilst 'the danger to life and property is greater; and the Ship Canal will alike remedy the evils of each. Having had a long experience in sea matters, I have thought it right to give this explanation to the Public in aid of Captain Nicholls' statements, lest it should be supposed, by people unacquainted with the facts, that he had reported more favourably of this great un dertaking than the truth would warrant; whereas the fault I find with the Captain is, that he has been too cautious or too backward in his statements, and has net set forth all the advantages which will be occa sioned by the Canal. Pray excuse the trouble I have given you, Mr. Editor, and place it to account of the solicitude for the safety and welfare of his country and profession, which must always be fel; by AN OLD SAILOR. DANGEROUS CASE OF POISONING SUCCESSFULLY TREATED.—Yesterday (Friday), in Anderson's Institu tion,'Glasgow, during the absence of Dr. lire, a young man, in rummaging through some private drawers, en closed within a press, in which various curious specimens and pieces of apparatus were kept, happened to cast his eyes on some small covered pots of porcelain ; and, open ing one of them, swallowed thoughtlessly a morsel of its contents, which must from its effects have been the ex tract either of aconite or of hemlock, made by the im proved process in vecuo. Such preparations are ex tremely efficacious medicines in small quantities, but become very energetic poisons when taken in an undue dose. He had no sooner swallowed the morsel than he became nearly speechless, and soon thereafter lust also the faculty of deglutition. Fortunately Dr. Ure's chy• mical assistant was at hand, who immediately adminis tered hot water and a solution of sulphate of zinc quick emetic) in large quantities. It was, however, found to be impossible to excite vomiting. A filxible tube of caoutchouc, attached to a syringe (commonly called Juices's apparatus), was speedily procured, and the extremity of the smooth tube being put down into the stomach, the contents of this cavity were pumped out. A quantity of warm water was next injected (for by this time the patient could not swallow), and then w ith drawn. —After the stomach had been thus washed with about six syringe•fulls, equivalent to nearly six pints of liquid, the young man felt himself almost well. As he still complained of an icy coldness over his body, a dose of sulphuric ether was administered, which relieved this unpleasant symptom) and he soon became able to walk home without assistance, in a convalescent state. It deserves to be stated, that in the year 1821, Dr. Ure brought over with him, from Paris, two of the above flexible caoutchouc tubes, fox evacuating the stomach in the above manner, and that he has annually since, described minutely, in his public lectures, this mecha nical plan of removing poison from the stomach. Mr. Jukes is no doubt entitled to the praise of having first made a public •exper;ment with this apparatus, on healthy individuals in London. The method, however, has been long known to the Parisian surgeons. The pre sent case shews its efficacy and importance ; for there can be little doubt that the patient would have fallen a victim to his imprudence, but for its seasonable appli- cation. When the stomach is oppressed with a collet• tion of acescent, bilious, or viscid matter, as happens in dyspepsia, and many other maladies, the above instru ment may be beneficially employed for evacuating the morbid contents, in the place of emetics, which, from peculiar circumstances, may become either totally in admissible or very hazardous. in. 1...0 imimmelialiMl THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK LANE, DEC. 29. There are not many fresh arrivals to this day's market.—Wbea Is scarce, and some Millen in attendance prove they would be willing to purchase could they meet with good samples; the prices are reported the same as Monday. Barley fully supposes last quo tations. In Beans and Peas no alteration. Oats find buyers at last quotations. Flour is not yet fully established at 70s. per sack. Arrivals—English Wheat, 4100 quarters; Barley, 4500 quar ters; Oats, 3500 quarters; Itish Oats, 2500 qrs. Flour, 2800 sacks. (FROM THE LONDON PRICE CURRENT, DEC. 28. COTTON.—The demand for Cotton was very good in the early part of last week, but less was doing the last two days. We note no alteration in the prices, but the holders of Egyptian Cotton are asking rather more money. The total sales are about 4,200 bales, viz. 750 Pernams - I lid. to 12d. per lb. in bond. 2200 Surats . -52 d. to 7d. 300 Madras - to 7d. 800 Bengal. - .sid. to GO. 300 Egyptian - lOgd. to t id. per lb. duty paid. SUGAR.—The demand for Muscuvades last week was limited; the strong and fine Sugars maintained their former prices; the soft and the low browns were pressed on the market, and might be pur chased at cheaper rates. There were no Sugars on shew this fore noon, and we believe there will be no business done during the week , on account of the holidays. The Refined Market was with out briskness last week, and general purchases could not be made on lower terms.—Molasses were 265. 6d. There is no business doing to-day in Refired goods. In Foreign Sugars no purchases by private contract have been reported. COFFEE—There were no public sales of Coffee brought for ward last week, owing to the languid demand and heavy market.— There were no public sales this forenoon, and very little business is expected during the week. RlCE.—There have been renewed inquiries after Rice ; but very few sales are reported; Bengal Rice remains nominally 17s. to 211. Carolina 355. to 38s. fiPlCEE—Nutmegs continue to attract the attention of specula tors, the nearest quotation to-day Is 51. 64. several tales of Pepper have been lately reported, but without any alteration in the cur rency. In other Spices there is no alteration to notice. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANI)S.—The Rum market continues to look very firm. Brandy remains steady; the best marks housed 3s. to 3s. id. The prices of Geneva have declined in Hol land, but from the scarcity here the market keeps high; the best ls.lld. to 2s. we believe sales at the latter rite. HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW —The Tallow merket,wkich , was brisk, has again been damped by two extensive failures : the quotation of new yellow candle here is to-day 375.3 d. to 375.1141. ' Hemp has sold freely at 411. and 421. but is again beavy.—lia Flax there is little alteration to notice. I
