(OrRT OF cAsSATiOX, PARIS• On the 20th August, 18M, Marie Claire, a female negro slave, apprand before the prevotal court of Martinique, as guilty of hay lag poisoned her mistress, Dante Buee. The young negro, Joseph, and Marie Louise Lambert, a woman of free colour, we cued of being accomplices. The Court having considered that Joseph, although an accomplice, had been merely a positive instrument, and ovine to his extreme youth, sentenced him to be at the foot of the gallows during the execution. Asto M. L. Lambert, she was declared vehemently Aurprded of having advised the poisoning, and of having given the poisoned loud. Instead, therefore, of receiving sentence of death, she was condemned to be whipped and marked on the gallows, after which she should be sent to France to be there ounhned during her life. All the succours of religion were given theft, after which their re- Immure sentences were executed. Marie Louise Lambert, now cookned in a house of detention at Isle Vilaine, in consequence of main circumstances which transpired at the execution, has pre- Pared herself for a revision at the Court of Cessation. Mr. IsamsEnT, her Advocate, maintained on the first point that the regulation of 1738 permitted in express terms an appeal against the sentence of a prevotal COWL After taking a few legal oh . ieetS. Mr. Isambert exposed, that Lieutea ant • Genersl Donzelot, Governor of Martinique, had exceeded his p owers in creating at Ventral Court, empowered with !repressing eases of poisoning. Ile Wiptatel the production of the instructions given to Ilen. Ihnizelot ft bit going to take the charge of the Government at 31arsinique. Mr. Lactevr-Larhanwn-Baitats, Advocate-General, corn. baled the legal objections of the adverse party at some length, anti concluded with showing that the production of General Ihinzelot's instructions was unneceesary, inasmuch as the decree of tith burial. year 10, permits to the Governmen t of the Colonies to suspend the execution of the laws and regulations, which sup- Pfcs the power of modifying them temporarily, under extraordinary circumstances. The Court having deliberated in the Council Chamber, " con sidering the appeal formed against the definitive judgment of a Prewuiel Court instituted by the Govetnor of Martinique, who ai authorized by the law of rhh Prairie!. year 10th, to establish it ; tonsidering that under the force of the Ordina nce of IE4O, the re source of cassation was only open against sentences of Pievots and Musimk, but nete:r against the decisions of prero.al Coors, since established, has declared the appellant's demand inudinissible." The ship Brothers, sailed verterday for Irdarid, to take in 160 female convicts.

If Edward Gibbon 'Wakefield be determined to meet his ‘, prosecutor face to face, it is supposed that he will endeavour befor ethe Sprinz Assiz , s to move the indictment, by writ of . certiorari, into the Court of King's Bench. In that case he will be tried, not in the criminal, but in the civil Court at Lancaster; and, if he should be thus convicted, he will be brought up in the Court of King's Bench to receive sen tence. Had he been tried and convicted before one of the Learned Judges who sat at Lancaster (luring the recent Assizes, we imagine that his offence would have been visited by an imprisonment of no short duration, and by a fine of no small amount. It is not improbable, however, that we shall bear of the affair of Mr. Wakefield and Miss Turner before the next Assizes. If Miss Turner be his lawrul wife, is it not likely that her reputed husband will institute a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court for the restoration of conjugal rights ? And if such a suit should be :nstituted, will it not bring the question of the legality or illegality of the marriage to an issue The gentlemen of the long robe arc, we guess, far from being sorry at the singular turn which the case took on Monday week. A Counsel never disgorges the fees which he receives ; and several very heavy ones are known to have been paid to the host of barristers engaged on both sides. There is a chance of the case being agitated again, and then what fine pickings there will be for the lawyers! To the gentlemen of the press the affair has been very expensive, without correspondent profit. We have heard of some round sums having been expended by the leading Louden) Journals, in the hope of obtaining intelligence from Lancaster exclusively. The proprietors of one Evening Paper, we have heard, authorized tlipir reporters to draw upon them to the extent of 2 001 ., if 14 expending that sum they could convey the proceedings respecting Mr. IVakefiebl to town before the agents of any other Journal. The Courier received the account of William Wakefield's flight by express, and had the pleasure of receiving it exclusively. -Liverpool Paper.

WESTMORLAND MUSHROOMS. — The following account of the culture and recent growth of these singular produc tions is given in the IF exlmor land Gazette: — r, it was in 1014, that a factious Whig party first contemplated to contest the county of Westmorland, and it was in that same year that their leader, the late herediture II igh.sheriff. sent forth a pro. clamation to his tenantry, saying, that he would consent to enfran chise their customary messuages. Their messuages were enfran chised. But were they all enfranchised for which applications were made? No; my hoed Thanet, by his steward, had marked his birds, and enfranchisement was refused to those who were supposed to inherit genuine constitutional principles. The Lowthers and their friends viewed this partial proceeding for a period of four years without attempting to meet t; and what was the effect of this partiality, when tried at the struggle in 11110? Why, the Blues retired from the contest with a maji r ty of 269 votes of the resident freeholders of the county against them ! This was the contest which ever must bespeak the real sentiments of the county ; and if Henry Droughsni had been really anxious for its welfare, he would not have drown his face again, Via candidate for Its represen twion. In this, however, we were deceived. fin no sooner was the contest over titan the Blues commenced that most unjustifiable measure, a measure pregnant with every evil, a measure adapted to destroy our real independence, and take away from our elective franchises, of making on a most extensive scale , 10%. lifeand annuity votes ! %Vete the friends of Lowther to sit down, and, with quiet repose, view such a measure as this, when they had it in their power to wield. with greater skill and foree.the same weapon ? No ; nor was It until thii period, and after flue Blues had been in the practice r jit Ibr four or Jive years, driat the h lends of the Lowthers determined , on taking up the sante weapons. They did take them up.but not upon the same extensive scale as the Blues ; for what WAS the reuft of the contest in MO ? The Blues had added to their nu t ber s five hun dred new fatty-shilling ; whereas the Lowihers had not added one quarter of that number of new votes ; and by their negligence had nearly allowed the representation to have fallen upon one of the moat delusive and dangerous characters in the realm. When the Lowther% were thus awakened to the sense of their danger, were the chance, and give the victory to t heir khcelytigagoapinpotnoent? throw away No; that no man could expect. They now felt it their bounden duty, as supporters of our glorious Constitu. lion, to defend it front the invasion of such men as Henry Brougham ; and In order that that defence might be made ef fectually, they must have had recourse to the IDC3SUICS above de scribed. •• THE BRITISH PRESS. EAST INDIA COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF' BRITISH PRESS.. Sin,--Asyotti valuable Paper is frequently the medium of communication on India subjects, I trouble you with a few notes. _ _ _ am interested as a Proprietor of Hist India Stock, and I am interested also in remittances from India, which hoping to receive of a better rate of exchange, I have had sent home in the products of India. Unfortunately, by resorting to this mode of remittance, I find I shall lose at least 30 per cent. This loss, I am informml, is, in some measure, to he attributed to the proceedings of the Company, who arc selling their homeward investments at ruinous prices. By their sales of sugar and saltpetre this month only, they will lose 30 to 40,p00i. They have taxed their silk for the October sale at prices 15 to 20 per cent. below the last sale : that is, they offer silk at rates which, on the quantity to he brought forward, would leave a loss of 80,000!. The Company are thus depressing the market, and voluntarily bringing heavy losses upon themselves. I have told yon, Mr. Editor, how much I suffer by my remittances; and I fear, with suds enormous losses as the Company will sustain this year, the dividend on India Stock cannot continue to be paid. Every year there is a serious deficiency on their corn ' mercial account. Would it not be better to abandon all traffic, and leave the revenue (without deduction for losses by trade) to pay a larger dividend ? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD INDIAN. Cheltenham, August 25, 182 n. WELSH IRON AND COAL MINING COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Su t,—The account contained in your Paper of yesterday of the proceedings at a Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company, on Saturday last, is, by reason of its errors and suppressions, calculated to produce au impression very dif fer, tit from that which the public would receive from a correct statement, and also to cause an inference to be drawn not very favourable to my conduct as a Director. I would support this assertion by the evidence of those who v we present on that occasion. I am not, Sir, one of those who are called "the old Di rectors" of the Company: I am one of "the new Di rectors," against whom no charges were brought, and who were expressly exculpated from all blame by Mr. W. Clark, and by Mr. Selby declared to be men in whom he had the highest confidence. I, therefore, in the line of conduct adopted by me on Saturday. could have no other object than the welfare and prosperity of the Company, and the meting out of justice to those individuals who, under the name of " the old Directors," were charged with malpractices in the early establishment of :he Company. I opposed the admission to the Meeting of the Reporters for the Public Press, and proposed a private investigation by the Shareholders, from a conviction that a Commercial Com pany could derive no benefit from, and might be materially injur...ti by, the publication of its accounts and concerns ; and also f•em a feeling of the injustice of promulgating to the world Leavy charges against individuals (some of them persons of rank and high standing in the country), previous to their being afforded au opportunity of explain ing or vindicating their onduct. I was one of those who signed the requisition for a public meeting of the Shareholders; it was I also who first proposed a series of resolutions for appointing a Committee of Proprietors, to inquire into the accounts and affairs gene rally of the Company, from the period of its commence ment : these resolutions were negatived, although others, to precisely the same effect, proposed by another person, were carried at a later period of the Meeting. To these latter resolutions a clause was appended, which in my judgment reflected on the conduct of " the new Directors," inas much as it went to the extent of depriving them of control over the funds of the Company, except for certain pur poses. This clause I strenuously opposed, stating that if such a resolution were carried, not a single member of the Direction, if he were a man of honour, could retain his office. In consequence of this opposition on my part, the objectionable clause was withdrawn.; but the attempt to pass such a resolution *as of itself -sufficient to induce tne to signify my intention of relinquishing my seat in the Direction. I appeal to your sense of justice for the insertion of this letter in your I'aper of to-morrow ; and I call also upon all the Journalists who have inserted statements of the pro ceedings at the Meeting similar to yours, to give it a place in their publications as early as possible. I am, Sir, Yours, most obediently. R. LANOSLOW. 1, Brick-court, Temple, Aug. 29. 1878. NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (From the Dublin Erening Poill F. W. Co:sway. Esq. in the Chair.

Mr. Gill, of Galway, en closing a subscription of twenty pounds (cheer s ) , collected in a comparatively short period in that towu, and which Mr. Gill and the subscribers wished to be devoted to the sustenance and defence of those upright and honest men, the forty-ahilling freeholders of Ireland. .lr. Bate handed in a sum of eighty pounds, and addressed the Meeting on the proceedings of the landlords in the county of Mo naghan. He pointedly alluded to the severity practised by Mr. Shirley against his tenantry, and concluded by expressing his strong conviction that the spirit and union of the people would sustain those who were oppressed for no other cause than having honestly and purely exercised the elective franchise. (Hear.) Mr. CONWAY said lie had another communication to make on the subject of the Catholic Rent. lie had to hand in the subscrip don of Mark Byrne to the Catholic Rent for the protection of the forty.shilling freeholders. The sum was twenty pounds. Mr. 11. O'Cox xon addressed the Meeting with great effect and energy, and handed in his subscription. The CHAIRMAN delivered in 41. from the gentlemen of St. James's parish. Several other sums were presented. Mr. DIM moved that 2001. should be allocated to Mau glom. Dr. MunPUY pressed the interests of Westmeath. Mr. FoanE spoke strongly in favour of Cavan. Mr. SHELL pressed the consideration of Louth upon the Meeting. It was finally decided to divide the fund in hand, 4001., in different proportions between the counties. A subscription of 101. from Mr. O'Gorman, the Secretary, was received. Mr. SUEIL proposed a resolution recommending an Aggregate Meeting, for the purpose of touching the old fund—p Mr. Suva. being called to the Chair, thanks were voted to Mr. Conway.

EGITAIt RACES. FIRST DAV--TUESDAY. The annual sports of the famed Runnymede commenced yesterday, atdl the result justifies us in asserting that they promise even to surpass their original excellence. His Grace the Duke of Richmond and Earl Mounteharles are the Stewards, and they have exerted themselves with com plete success, as well in their more important duties as in the minor details of the races, the stakes being well filled, awl the Course admirably kept. They have not confined their kind labours to the present year's sport, having, with the assistance of James Ramsbottom, Esq. procured a good list of subscribers for the next year's races, there being already ten subscribera for the gold cup, and ten for the Surrey and Middlesex stakes. It was expected that his Majesty would have honoured the Sputa with his presence, and many liunitpeds were doubtleis drawn to Egham on that account; but, what ever his Majesty's original intention might have been, the spectators were not to-day gratified with the Royal presence.

The ground was exceedingly well attended the equipages unusually splendid and numerous. The Stewards' stand was occupied by ladies of title and fashion, and had a very brilliant appearance. The booths and temporary stands were also filled with respectable females. Of pickpockets and gaming tables there was the usual pro fusion, but the former were too closely watched by the " Robin Redbreasts" to be successful. The day's running was very good, as will be collected from the following statement : Sw.cpstakes of 25 I , IOV. each, 15 ft. 3 yes, let. 3111.; 4 yrs, Bst.7l' .; fillies and geldings allowed 31h.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WRESTLING.—Stc own DAY. Yesterday a vast number of the admirers of this ancient English sport again assembled at the Eagle Tavern, in the City road, at an early hour, to witness the double players contend for the prizes. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather in the forenoon, some matches were played, and two more double players were added to the list of the preceding day, viz.—Perdue, Cornish; and Frost, Devon; making twelve only to compete lot the prizes. While the double.pley matches were arranging, some very good private matches were played for different sums, raised on the ground, amongst whom Cann, • Devonshire man, was eminently conspicuous, but was too late to be admitted as a double player. At four o'clock the double players entered the ring. Warren, a Cornish man, and Middleton, a Devonshire man ; Warren threw Middleton in the most complete and decisive manner in two mi nutes. Warren is a favourite with the Cornish men. Pyle end Avery, both Devonshire men, next entered, and .die. played much science for ten minutes, during which several fells were given, but none of them were decisive but the last, when Avery was thrown. Moyle. a Cornish man, and Clarke, a Devonshire man, were the next, and an excellent match they were; both were alternately down several times, but no decisive fall took place for thirty mi nutes. At length Clarke was thrown.—(Great shouts from the Cornish men.) Thorn and Babb, both Devonshire men, were next called, and Thorn, • most excellent wrestler, found a troublesome customer in Babb. After 14 minutes' excellent play, Babb was thrown. Batson, a Devonshire man, anti Perdue, a powerful Cornish man, next entered, owing to the absence of Spargoe, when Perdue was thrown in about five minutes. Spargoe not appearing, which much displeased the Cornish man, Warren, a Cornish man, and Pyle, a Devonshire man, were called in the ring for the standard play. Much betting took place on this rettcontre, both being crack men, Pyle was thrown in two minutes. Moyle, • Cornish men, and Batson, • Devonshire man, then en tered, when Moyle was thrown. Thorn and Frost, both Devonshire men, next entered, when Frost was thrown almost instantly. The contest was now reduced to three, viz. t—Warren, a Cornish man, and Thorn and Batson, Devonshire men; lots were drawn, and Thorn and Batson were first to enter the ring, when Batson was thrown. Warren and Thorn were now only to compete for the first and second prize, being the crack men of each county, as we yesterday mentioned. Warren proved himself the strongest man, and held Thorn in his arms, and ultimately threw him; but much doubt was expressed u to its being a fair back fall ; two of the three um pires giving it as their opinion that it was not a fair one, according to the Devonshire mode, the other umpire considering it was. Mr. Rouse, the proprietor of the Eagle, accompanied by a most respect able witnesejthen told Warren to come forward again, which he' declining, the first prize will be awarded to Thorn. The next Wrestling Match will be got tip by the natives of Cornwall, and it is expected that this species of gymnastic exer cise will be patronizad by the noblemen and gentlemen of the respective counties. It requires only to be known to be appre. elated. The greatest decorum was observed throughout the whole of the evening, and the grounds were completely clearest at eight o'cleck.

Too much cannot be said in praise of the dinmer and wines, w1'16.1 did much credit to Mr. Goodman. During the day the band of the West Essex Militia enlivened the scene with some of our na:.tonal airs. A few days since, a gt attleman who is reported to be pos. liaised of considerable property in this neighbourhoeit (Exeter) excited a goc d deal of attention by his eccentric behaviour in this ci•,y. During his visit he gave large orders at several sho t J S, to the amount of some thousands , but many hesitated '.it complying with his commands; at one shop he dire c t e d ever y article of rich and costly goods in two large windo wit to be sent him ; at some of the book sellers' shops he c zt l ere d enough volumes, without distine tion of subject and at the piety t r e -d ea l ers lie dismantled the walls of wor ks clue of art to the v t character, to constitute a large library : of 7001. at one place, and 6001. at an. other. At Poberts's Bazaar he ordered furniture to the amount of 5 aul , for which lie gave a check on a bank at a . distance for 1001., with which the wary br oker posted oft and got pa',B, but two other checks, each drawn for 4.V., one on tin, same bank, and the duplicate on a banking. house in, this city, have been refused. To all the rest he likewise, gave checks, but it is not likely they will be ho noureo,, as the gentleman's friends have interfered, and, as we ate informed, placed him under restraint.—Exctrr Welds.
