AMERICA. PER STEAMSHIP AFRICA. NEW YORK, DEC. 9. The steamship Arabia arrived at Halifax Dec. 9. The following general summary of news is from the New York Times of to-day:— " A despatch from the head-quarters of the army of the Potomac states that there were no movements of iraportance yesterday, but the impression is pre va!tent that the quiet would be of short duration. here have been already some important changes in the position of our troops. " The rebels begin to show their tribulation re garding the various movements of our forces, land and naval. In, the Richmond papers of Saturday we find several items which clearly indicate this." The Richmond Despatch of the 6th says, that " The reports from Fredericksburg yesterday were that pretty severe skirmishing occurred in the neighbourhood of Port Royal yesterday morning, but 'with what success could not be learnt. The General aspect of affairs was such as to indicate a battle. The columns of the enemy have been moved to the front, and much activity is observable along their lines." The Richmond Despatch also says that the Fede rals at Suffolk were last week reinforced by one full brigade and a battery of field artillery. " The Yankee forces at Suffolk and its vicinity are now estimated at 30,000 by their own men, who state that this force is to move against Petersburg, while the force at Newberg, N.C., is to operate simulta neously againt Weldon." General Walker telegraphs from Pocotaligo that a fleet of twenty Federal vessels sailed from Hilton Head on Friday last. Georgetown or Wilmington is the point aimed at. Our troops everywhere were put under marching orders to be ready for a move at the shortest notice. Several large vessels passed Charleston Harbour on Sunday, going Southward. It is though they are gone to aid the Gulf Squadron in an attack on Mobile. Five additional vessels were off Charleston bar on Sunday, and six blockaders off Stone Point, A Fortress Monroe Despatch to the Philadelphia Press dated Dec. 6 says r— " A division, Comma n d e d by G enera l E mory , sailed south from here last night. It has been here tofore supposed that it would form part of the Banks' expedition. Its destination is to reinforce General Foster in North Carolina. The Confede rates threaten to prevent him from advancing by Way of Weldon to Suffolk, to reinforce Banks in his advance from Suffolk upon Petersburg in over whelming force. The reinforcements consist of three New York regiments, one Pennsylvania, and otle Massachusetts, including a force of over 4,000 men" A despatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated Sunday, Dec. 7, says : " General Haupt has a large force at work build ing a railroad bridge over the river, back of Fredericksburg, and as the rebels have made no sign of disturbing it, it is evident they do not want a fight here or fear that we will shell the town if they fire." Advices from Newbern, N.C., state that the rebels intend to abandon immediately all that portion of the State lying east of the Weldon and Wilming- ton railroad. Our advic es from Tennessee recently have been not much more than a record of disasters—petty in their individual extent, but amounting in the aggre gate to enough to render their contemplation un pleasant. The guerilla Morgan appears to have everything pretty much his own way. A brigade of General Rusencranz's army, under command of a Colonel Moore, was attacked by him on Sunday morning at Hartsville, near Gallatin, and after a brief fight was captured, The brigade consisted of three infantry regiments, a battery, and a small detachment of cavalry. After the surrender of our forz:es the enemy burnt the camp and destroyed all the other property they could not carry away. Morgan is said to have attacked another detach ment of our forces on the same day at Gallatin, but to have been repulsed with heavy loss. We have no particulars of this affair, however. The rebels are known to have subsequently eluded pursuit by making a successful crossing of the Cumberland. Cane Mill Ark has been the scene of more fight ing, in which the national forces were successful. The rebels under Hindman and Maramaduke, 25,000 strong, attempted to force General Blunt's position there on the 6th inst., but were driven back. On the following morning the attempt was renewed, but with no better success. Gen. Blunt is of opinion that this demonstration of the rebels was intended to cover their retreat. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger Writes from Washington, under date of December 6, as follows: " The plans for the capture of Richmond now in proe'an of execution appear to be a diversion of the rebel army, by a demonstration on the south side of Richmond, while General Burnside moves upon it by way of Fredericksburg. The expedition under General Banks and the one which left For tress Monroe yesterday will probably act together in this demonstration, and land a cavalry force of 10,000 or 12,000 in the vicinity of Harrison's Land ing. These will scour the country on the south side, and finally unite with our forces at Weldon, but how we are to cross the James River when we arrive opposite the rebel capital is not clear. It is not the intention, I hear, to assail Fort Darling at all on the land's side, but merely to move around it ; but really if this is the case I cannot see how our forces are to march upon Richmond when the James River would be between our troops and that city. Perhaps, as stated above, the move will be simply for the purpose of diverticg the attention of the rebels from the Fredericksburg route, and thus leave an easy conquest of the capital for Burnside. " Cliff's renegade regiment is devastating Morgan County, Kentucky." The following resolutions unanimously passed the House of Commons of North Carolina on the 4th inst. : " Resolved—That the Confederate States have the means and the will to sustain and perpetuate the Government they have established, and to that end North Carolina is determined to contribute all her power and resources. " Resolved—That the separation between the Confederate and the United States is final, a.nd that the people of North Carolina will never consent to reunion at any time, or upon any terms. " Resolved—That we have full confidence in thd ability and patriotism of his Excellency eresident Drivis, and that his administration is entitled to the cordial support of all patriotic citizens. "Resolved—That we heartily approve of the policy for the conduct of the war, set forth by his Excellency Governor Vance, in his inaugural ad clress mid message to the General Assembly, and that he ought t o b e unanimously supported i n the manly and patriotic stand he has taken for our indepen dence," °°- EEDINGSOF CONGRESS. In the senate, on o the Bth i ns t an t, a num b er o f petitions in layout f general bankrupt law were presented. A resolntia ing the nnmber an d ;an making inquiries regard aides-de-camp was adopted. The Secretarynoi-wa of numbe r was instructed to re port to the Senate the of major and .The Military briga dier-generals Co mmittee now in the service . was instructed to inquire into enteoffthe expediency upon tranquillity in of providing by law for the more lion of the rebellion, and securing eff ectual suppres the State of Maryland. The calc taty of War for the correspondence relattihne &ere. arrest of certain citizens of Delaware was It e o d the and debated, but not disposed of. The Bankrupt Act was taken u p as the special order, but was in formally laid aside. Mr. Davis, of Kentuck , offered a joint resolution, proposing certain amend.. ments to the Conc,titution, to alter the mode o f electing the President and Vice-President. It was ordered to be printed. The Bankrupt Bill was then again taken up and made the special order for the 18th inst. The Senate spent the remainder of the session with closed doors. In the House of Representatives the vacancies in the standing committee were filled. The President was requested to transmit to the house the last official report of General Banks. Mr. Stevens , of P ennsylvania, introduced the bill of which he had gi►en notice, to indemnify the President and other persons for suspending the habeas corpus, and for all acts done in pursuance thereof. Afte: several unsuccessful attempts to defeat it or to p mtpone its consideration, Mr. Stevens asked that it "e put upon its passage, which was ordered. A 101 v, debate in tervened, but the bill finally passed by 90 to 45. Mr. Wright, of Indiana, offered a series of resolu tions declaring the unjustifiableness of the rebellion, and asserting our duty to put it down by every con stitutional means, &c. They were tabled. Mr. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, introduced a bill for the protection and relief of loyal citizens whose pro perty and slaves have been taken by the army. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee. After some business of minor importance, Mr. Stevens offered a series of resolutions referring various parts of the President's Message to appropriate commit tees, when Mr. Richardson made a speech severely criticising the document. The house then adjourned. The following is the new financial scheme intro duced in Congress by Mr. Stevens from the Com mittee of Ways and Means: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America, in Con gress assembled—That the Secretary of the Trea sury shall, as far as possible, redeem and call in the 5-20 bonds, and all 7-30 bonds which have been issued since March 4, 1862, and cancel the same. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted—That the Sec retary of the Treasury shall redeem all United States tender -notes which shall be held as a loan bearing interest; and the law authorising such loan or de posit is hereby repealed. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted—That the law authorising and requiring the payment of interest of United States Bonds in gold, and which autho rised the issuing of the 5-20 bonds, is hereby re pealed. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted—That, in order to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to carry into effect the foregoing provisions, he is hereby authorised to issue 1,000,000,000 dole., if so much be needed, of bonds of the United States, similar in amount and form to those authorised by the act entitled, An Act to authorise the Issue of United States Notes, and for the Redemption or Funding thereof, and for Funding the Floating Debt of the United States," approved Feb. 25, 1862, with in terest payable semi-annually in the lawful money of the United States, and the principal payable in 20 years in gold or silver coin of the United States; also to issue legal-tender notes of the United States, the amount not to exceed, with those already autho rised, five hundred millions.

Sec. 7. And . be it futher enacted—That, whenever the Government require more money than is hereby provided, the Secretary of the Treasury may sell any portion of the billion of bonds hereby authorised at such price as he may be able to obtain for the same. NEW YORK, DEC. 11. Gen. Butler's Sequestration Committee continue their confiscation measures at New Orleans. Im mense quantities of goods and contents of splendid mansions are daily being sold by auction. General Butler occupies a house vacated by Dr. Campbell, who left when the Federals occupied thecity, closing his house, and leaving everything, including his plate. General Butler has extended his confiscation order to all that part of the State of Louisiana east of Mississippi River except the parishes of New Orleans, Saint Berner, and Plaque Mines. A sharp fight has occurred near Lavergne, Ten nessee, between Nashville and Murfreesboro, in which the Confederates were twice repulsed. A despatch, dated Nashville, 10th inst., says— The Confederates in great force appeared in our front this morning, driving in our pickets at every point. A battle is momentarily expected near Harts ville. Federal reinforcement are hurrying forward. Great excitement prevails at Nashville, but the in habitants have confidence in the Federal generals and troops. (A barque which has arrived at New York passed on the sth inst., off Hatteras, eight steamers steer ing due south, supposed to be part of Gen. Banks's expedition. The Governor of New Hampshire has ordered the draft to commence on the 24th inst. in the towns which have not filled their quotas. The New York Times has the following private letter from an officer of one of the south-western armies which has this statement :—" If I should tell you the state of demoralisation of many of our old regiments of the Valley of the Mississippi you would believe it. They have no respect for man or woman, and are guilty of offences that, if committted at horns, would send them to the Penitentiary for life. " Similar representations are made in so many other quarters that it is no longer possible to doubt that portions of our army have become greatly de moralised. It is got a pleasant fact,but it is crimi nal to shut our eyes to it. Every loyal organ of 1 opinion in the land s h ou ld ra i se it s vo i ce aga i ns t it, and demand its suppression." 1 Gen. M'Clellan is giving evidence in Washington before the court of inquiry into the conduct of Gen. M'Dowell. Gen. M'Clellan testifies strongly in his favour. He said he had no doubt, and it had always been his opinion, that the army of the Potomac would have taken Richmond if Gen. M'Dowell's corps had not been separated from it. General M'Clellan also believed that if General M'Dowell's command had joined the army of the Potomac by way of Hanover Court-house from Fredericksburg, that the Federals would have had Richmond in one week after the junction. He did not hold General M'Dowell responsible for not joining him on either occasion. In the Senate a bill has been introduced to estab lish an arsenal and ordnance depot on the tidewaters of New York harbour. The Senate has passed the bill for the relief of the owners of the French ship Jules et Marie. The House of Representatives has passed a bill admitting Western Virginia as a State by a vote of 96 to 55. The bill provides for the gradual aboli tion of slavery in the State. It had previously passed the Senate. It is reported that 150,000 dole_ in specie has been saved from steamer Golden Gate. The British steamer Greyhound arrived at Gal veston Bay on the 14th November. A movement is on foot in New York to get aid for the distressed operatives in France. The following are extracts from the correspon dence between Mr. Seward and Mr. Dayton, the American Minister at Paris : Mr. Dayton writes to Mr. Seward, in March, that at an interview with the Emperor he stated that the opinion of the Americans was that if France and England would withdraw their recognition of the Southern insurrectionists as belligerents the rebel lion would collapse at once. If this recognition were withdrawn, Mr. Dayton believed that as an equivalent the blockade would be raised at an early date. The Emperor replied that the recognition of the Southerners as belligerents was made upon an un derstanding with England that some legal ques tions were originally iLvolved, and that he must consult M. Thouvenel. When the insurrection broke out the Emperor did not suppose the North could succeed, and it was the general belief of European statesmen that the two sections would never come together again. This belief was the principal rea son why the concession of the belligerent rights was granted. On Nov. 6 Mr. Dayton writes to Mr. Seward that M. Thouvenel has just told him France and the other Powers regretted the war, but had no inten tion to interfere. In reply to Mr. Dayton's inquiry, if France, Eng land, and Russia were conferring upon the propriety of offering 'mediation, M. Thouvenel said the wish that t h e war could be ended, or something be done with the consent of the belligerent parties, had been and W 6 still entertained ; but nothi ng had been resolved upon. France reserved to herself the right to ex press this wis h to the parties if it was thought ad- THE SUN' LONDON, ♦isable to do so, or that good would grow out of it. Mr. Dayton presumed that the expression of such a wish would be but an offer of mediation in another form. M. Thouvenel said, if there were any word that could express less than mediation, that word should be used in its place. Mr. Dayton then asked M..Thouvenel, if his offer or suggestion were refused, what would be the con sequence ? _ M. Thouvenel replied—Nothing. America and France would remain friends. He said the recog nition of the South would not follow the refusal by America to accept mediation, but everything would remain as before. Mr. Dayton said that America would regard the acknowledgment of the South as a form of inter- vention. M. Thouvenel assented, saying they did not think of in any way intruding into American affairs, or intervening in any form. Their intent would be comprised in the expression of a wish to be useful, if it could be done with the consent of both parties. The Emperor was still disposed to act the part of friend between North and South, if they should mutually request, and nothing more, except that the calamitous civil war had increased and strengthened that wish on the Emperor's part. Mr. Dayton, unofficially, informed M. Thouvenel that such an offer, if ever made, would come to nothing. MEXICO. NEW YORK, DEC. 11. Advices received here from Vera Cruz to the Ist instant state that a large number of towns had de clared in favour of the French intervention. It was said that Juarez intended posting himself at Tlas calla, to oppose the French advance on the capital by way of Piedras Negras. If the French succeed in capturing Puebla, the sluices which now contain the waters of the lakes round Mexico were to be opened, in order to flood the city. Marquez had occupied Galchinda in the name of the French. The latter had occupied Jalapa and Alvarado. Juarez had issued a proclamation declaring that the penalty of death would be inflicted on all who carried des patches to or from the French army. All communication with the interior and the coast was virtually cut off, An attempt to get up a demonstration at Tlas calla in favour of Juarez resulted in the inhabitants crying, " Vive lee Frabgais." SEVERE GALES. DESTRUCTION OF SHIPPING AND LOSS OF LIFE. Since Friday night a terrific gale of wind has swept over the metropolis, and caused considerable damage to property on land and to the shipping in the river and docks. At the east end of the metro polis the house-top telegraph wires have, it is re ported, been in many places blown down, and the communication temporarily suspended. No perso nal accidents of a severe nature have been reported as far as the metropolis is concerned. The same remark does not unfortunately apply with regard to the shipping on the coast, as will be seen by the following advices LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. Yesterday and to-day the weather has been very stormy, both in and ont side the port of Liverpool ; and judging from the reports of the coasting steamers the storm extended a long way down the Channel. To-day intelligence was received here of the loss of the schooner Effort, Captain Thomas, belonging to Messrs. Nicholson Brothers., of this town. The tele gram from Lloyd's agent states that the Effort ran on shore this morning in Penrhas Bay, where she soon after broke up, and that the cargo was washing on shore along the coast. Only one man was saved. The Effort cleared at this port on the 13th inst. for Lisbon, with six of a crew, under the command of Captain Thomas. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 21. A heavy gale of wind has been blowing here, chiefly from the north-west, with short intermis sions, for the last three days. The Channel Islands mail packet, due Friday night, did not arrive here until yesterday afternoon. The Havre packet, due here yesterday morning, has not yet arrived. GREAT YARMOUTH, DEC. 20, 8.30 A.M. Throughout yesterday the gale continued with little abatement, and during the night it raged with renewed violence. A large number of vessels have taken refuge in the roads, which afforded compara tively safe shelter, with the wind off shore. Some which had drifted towards the Scroby Sands have taken closer moorings under the land. Seve►al vessels have come in in various stages of distress, and a large three-master, supposed to be a Yankee, was towed through yesterday, disabled, from Lowes toft. Last night the crew of six hands of the brig Moore, from Seaham for London, with 309 tons of coals, were landed here by a fishing smack and taken to the Sailors' Home, having been obliged to abandon their vessel. She was dismasted off the Dudgeon, and two fishing smacks bearing down took her in tow ; but in consequence of the violence of the wind, and the heavy sea running, the rope parted, and she became unmanageable. As she had 8 feet of water in her hold, the crew were taken off by one of the smacks, and it is believed that she went down shortly afterwards. The prevalence of the wind from N.W. for so long a period has brought up one of the highest tides known in Yarmouth for many years. The sea this morning is up to the marine drive, and the quays are flooded for several yards on both sides of the haven. Old seamen here predicted rough weather from the bril liant apperance of the Aurora Borealis on Sunday night. KING'S LYNN, SUNDAY. A severe gale has been blowing almost without intermission since Friday, but without doing any serious damage until this morning. The wind brought a heavy tide with it this morning, under the influence of which an important sea wall or bank, which protects Mr. Bentinck's property in Terrington Marsh, has given way, and exposed a large district reclaimed from the sea year by year for some years past to the ravages of the ocean. Not much land is at present under water, and efforts are being made to repair the breach before the return of the tide to-night ; but it is stated that the whole bank is in a very precarious state< One of the banks recently made by Messrs. Peto in con nexion with the Norfolk Estuary works, and known as the 'Wolverton bank, has also given way. At Hunstanton, the terminus of the New Lynn and Hunstanton Railway, the water has been quite over the fine cliff, and the line of railway, which runs close to the sea along the coast, is now sub merged between Hunstanton and Heacham. Some serious shipping casualties are feared along the coast. Yesterday a French vessel was on shore about ten miles below Lynn ; the crew were in the rigging, but it was hoped they would be taken off. RAMSGATE, SUNDAY EVENING. The gale which prevailed during Saturday night and this morning has been the cause of a conside rable destruction of property on the coast in the vicinity of this town. The tide this morning was higher than it has been known for the last 25 years and the waves, like mountains of water, rolled in with terrific violence. The famous Ramsgate sands have not now their usual appearance, they are more like an immense wreck, being strewn with huge pieces of timber and lumps of chalk of various dimensions. In the vicinity of the sands are the premises of Mesisrs. Strong and Barnes, boatwrights, which consist of a large wooden structure, used as a workshop, and what is called the boatbuilders' yard, in front of which was erected a strong wooden fencing. Although on an embankment, and some distance from where the tide usually approaches, the whole of the latter have been washed away ; one side of the building has been forced in, and the foundation, although solid chalk, has been completely under mined. A large wooden marquee, used by visitors in the season, has als3 been partly destroyed. The coast.gua, d station had a very narrow escape, and it is feared the men and their families will have to turn out before the night high tide. The wave washed completely over the station, and the water fell down the chimneys so as to pravent fires being kept by the occupants. Even the Kent Coast Rail way Company have not escaped. For some time past a tunnel has been in course of construction MONDAY' EVCNING, through the cliff, the chalk from which has been I brought out to form an embankment as a continua tion of the line in the direction of the town. This embankment has been 100 feet in length, 60 in width, and from 15 to 20 feet high, but now the whole has been washed away. At about half-past four this morning the liamsgate lifeboat went out to a vessel (belonging to South Shields) which was asbore on the Goodwin Sands. After much diffi culty, the boat neared the vessel, and succeeded in saving the lives of four out of the crew. The fifth man was lost, having, we are informed, fallen into the sea in endeavouring to jump from the vessel to the lifeboat. But for the timely assistance of the lifeboat the whole of the crew must have been lost, The four who were saved were taken to Dover, and the lifeboat arrived home this afternoon at about 3 o'clock. As she entered the harbour, the brave crew were hailed with a hearty cheer from some hundreds of persons, who had assembled on the pier. The damage clone in the harbour is not extensive. There are, however, several small craft sunk, and one or two broken. SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIGHT. To-night a telegraphic message came down to the Tyne from Admiral Fitzroy, that dangerous winds might be expected, and the night storm warnings were hoisted. Coincident with the appearance of the storm warnings, the wind which had been blow ing fresh all day from the N.N.W., got more round to the north and eastward, and came on to blow a fiercer gale. There is a heavy sea on the bar, and the night is dark, with showers of sleet and snow. Twa hours ago the alarm was given that a laden schooner had run up the Herd sand, and the South Shields lifeboat was immediately launched and manned by the pilots. They gallantly pulled her out into the heart of the sea, and have just brought the crew of the stranded vessel ashore amid the cheers of the people. The vessel is the Isabella Grinley, with coals for Montrose. She left Sunderland ou Wednesday last, and has been knocking about in the North Sea ever since. The storm seems to be increasing in violence, and the wind appears to be getting more round to the east ward. BOULOGNE, SUNDAY, 10.15 P.M. The collier brig Sir William Pulteney, and two others are on shore near here. The crews are saved. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. On Saturday George Ruxton, a shipowner, re siding at Liverpool, and James Birtie, the captain and part owner of a merchant ship named the James Brown, were placed at the bar of the Man. sion-house justice-room, before the Lord Mayor, charged with conspiring together to cheat and defraud the Universal Marine Insurance Company, in Cornhill of between £BOO and £9OO. The prisoner Ruxton was recently tried and ac quitted on a similar charge at the Liverpool Assizes. On leaving the court he was arrested on a fresh accusation, under a warrant emanating from the Mansion-house, and brought to London. The pri soner Bertie was apprehended on Monday last at Falmouth, just as he had arrived there after a voyage. Mr. M'Culloch was counsel for the prosecution ; the prisoner Ructon was defended by Mr. Sleigh; and Birtie by Mr. Woutner, solicitor, of Bucklers bur,. Mr. William Nicholas de Mattos, of 27, Leaden hall-street, merchant, was called. He said in No vember, 1860, he chartered the ship Joseph Howe, belonging to the prisoner Ruston, for a voyage from Cardiff to St. Paul de Loando, a Portuguese port on the coast or Arica, with a full cargo of coals, through Smith, Simpson, and Co., of George yard, Lombard-street, sbipbrokers, with liberty to Knowles and Foster to ship 500 demi-johns (a kind of bottle, so called), at a special rate of freight, for his (witness's) own agent at the port of destination. No one besides himself, as the charterer, would be entitled to ship goods by the vessel as freight, stores excepted. Mr. Todd, a shipbuilder at Cardiff, and son of the Portuguese Vice-Consul there, deposed that he acted as the deputy of his father during his absence in December, 1860. St. Paul de Loando was what was called a Consular port, and it was requi site at such a place for the captain of a vessel arriving there to produce a declaration showing the whole of hi 3 cargo. The prisoner Birtie, as the captain of the Joseph Howe, signed the manifest produced, as well as a translation in Portuguese, to which latter was appended a declaration by him that he had no other goods ou board than those mentioned in the manifest. The two bills of lading now produced were shown to witness by the cap tain before the vessel, to enable him to make out the manifest. The two bills of lading referred to, and on which the case of the prosecution mainly turned, were put in—the suggestion on their part being that they contained entries of goods, including beer and flour in large quantities, perfumery, pi c kl es , preserve d s m h e i a p t p s e ' dby the potatoes, geese, cross- co t saws, bi scu i ts, & c., prisoner Ruaton, but of which it was alleged little more than a tenth was actually put on board the vessel, though the prisoner Rus ton had effected an insurance for £l,OOO on the whole lot of the enumerated articles. Mr. Alfred Tozer, of 35, Cornhill, Secretary to the Universal Marine Insurance Company, proved that on Dec. 29, 1860, two policies of insurance for £5OO each were issued by the company in respect of certain goods purporting to have been shipped in the Joseph Howe. A claim was afterwards made for the insurance upon an alleged total loss of the ship and cargo, and on Jan. 25, 1861, the amount (L 1,000) was paid by the company to Messrs. Wardell, Frazer, and Co., on the production by them of the bills of lading and a protest that the goods mentioned in them were entirely lost with the ves sel. He added, in reply to Mr. Sleigh, that when the insurance was effected he knew nothing what ever about Wardell and Frazer's prineipals in the transaction ; but at the time it was paid he knew for whom they were acting. Evidence was given by people from Cardiff, em ployed about the ship when she was preparing for sea, leading to the inference that of the articles enu merated in the two bills of lading not more than about 100 casks of beer, a few barrels of flour, and about 70 mats of potatoes were actually shipped. It was also proved that Ruxton was at Cardiff on the 24th of December, the day the vessel sailed. Mr. James Ranford Wardell (Wardell, Frazer, and Co.), ship insurance broker, Orel:thaw-house, said the policies produced on the ship Joseph Howe were effected by him through Heathcock and Company. He had no communication what ever with the prisoner Ruxton with respect to them, nor any conversation with bim at any time. He saw him in company with Mrs. Heathcock when the insurance was paid to the latter. Heathcock and Ruxton came together, and the conversation between witness and the former might or might not have been heard by Ruxton. Witness received £l,OOO, the full amount of the insurance, from the company, and handed the money over to Heathcock by check. He believed Ruxton was not present when he did so. There were other insurances on the ship effected by witness, and he collected them all about the same time for Heathcock—viz., £1,500, £l5O, and £675, besides the £l,OOO on the goods. Two letters, written by the prisoner Ruston, from London, to his son, at Liverpool, on the 13th and 23d of January, 1861, were put in and read. In the first the prisoner said he had received infor mation of the loss of the Joseph Howe, that she had been struck by a heavy sea on the 2d of January and had sprung a leak, and that the crew, who had abandoned her, with nine feet of water in the hold, had been taken up by a passing ship and brought to London. He added that he was well insured, there tieing £4,000 on the ship and freight, and £l,OOO on goods, that Heathcock was getting his papers ready as fast as he could, and that he expected to receive £3,500 of the insurance on the following Wednesday or Thursday. In the second letter Rus ton said he had received £1,500 of the money, that he expected X 2,000 on the next day or Thursday, and that on receiving the balance he would be off home Thomas Smith, a detective police-officer at Liver pool, said he apprehended the prisoner Birtie at Falmouth on Monday, on board of his own ship. He told him as he did so that he was a police-officer, and charged him with conspiring with Ruxton to DECE3I3ER 22, I 862. defraud the underwriters by losing the Joseph I Howe. The prisoner said " Yes, she was lost," adding shortly afterwards, " I did a bad job in sign.. ing those blank bills of lading." Witness asked if 'Lie had any papers in the ship connected with the Joseph Howe. He replied he thought not, that he destroyed them, bit - witness could look for himself. Witness brought the prisoner on shore to the office of Messrs. Fox and Co., where the prisoner re ceived a letter addressed to him, and which he opened and read, giving it afterwards to his wife to read. She returned it to him, and he was going towards the fire with it, when witness snatched it out of his hand. Witness then read the letter, and asked him if Ruston owed him that amount of money for back wages. He said " No," and that he never owed him a shilling in his life for back wages. Witness had previously asked him what the letter was about. Thereply was that it was for his wife. By Mr. Wontner—When he apprehended the prisoner Birtie witness did not tell him that he would either be a prisoner or a witness, but he did afterwards, and showed him a handbill relating to the charge. The letter, which was anonymous, was not read, the Lord Mayor ruling that a man was not to be answerable for a letter that might be addressed to him, much less an anonymous one, which might be designed as a trap for him. On this evidence Mr. M'Culloch asked to have the prisoners committed for trial. He added, in reply to the Court, that the solicitors for the pro secution and himself had estimated that the value of the goods actually put on board was about £l4O, that £l,OOO had been received for insurance, and that the company charged the prisoners with de frauding them of the difference, amounting to £B6O. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Wontner finding that it was the intention of the Lord Mayor to send the pri soners for trial, forbore to address the Court in their behalf, contenting himself with asking that they should be liberated on bail. The prisoners were then committed to Newgate for trial, the Lord Mayor decidinglat the same time to hold them to bail, themselves in £5OO each, and two sureties in £259 each, after giving the usual notice. EXTENSIVE AND SYSTEMATIC FRAUDS. EXTRAORDINARY BILL l RANSACTIONS. Ferdinand Arthur Newman, a foreigner, who described himself as a merchant, trading in the name of De Niemann and Co., at 48, Fenchurch street, was brought up before Alderman Besley, at the Guild hell, on Saturday, charged with conspiring with one Richard Pearson, late of 6, Noble•street, to obtain goods to the value of about .E!,300, under false pretences, with intent to cheat and defraud Mr. Jeremiah Walton, a woollen manufacturer, of Bradford, in Yorkshire. There were several other charges against the prisoner, and among the num ber two for forging endorsements to bills of exchange. This case has been several times before the Court, but the evidence has beer. of such a voluminous cha racter that we deemed it expedient to reserve our report until the case assumed a more definite form, in order that the extraordinary system disclosed might be better understood. Mr. Albert Turner was the solicitor engaged for the prosecution, and Mr. Beard for the defence. Mr. Walton said—My transactions with the pri soner and Pearson commenced on the 3d June last, when the latter bought a quantity of goods, and continued to buy from time to time, the terms being cash at a month. About the middle of July he failed in his payments, and his account wes then £4OO. It was at that time that he introduced the prisoner to me as a gentleman with plenty of means, and who he said owed him £5OO, The prisoner corroborated Pearson's statement, and added that he had very large remittances coming from Florence, and would see me all right to whatever amount I trusted Pear son. In consequence of the prisoner's representa tions I let Pearson have other goods, to the amount of £6OO, and after that 1 found great difficulty in getting cash from Pearson. I pressed both him and the prisoner for money, and at length got a cheque for £lOO from Pearson, who was advised by the prisoner to give it me, but on being presented it was returned dishonoured. Pearson ultimately gave me six bills of exchange, one of which for £l2O 14s. ; born an acceptance in the name of Auguste Lorck, of Punster -court, Mincing-lane. Three of the bills were endorsed by the prisoner, and I asked trim to endorse the other three, but he refused to doso, be cause he believed I had been instrumental in pre venting him getting £625 worth of bills discounted in Bradford. Pearson told me in the prisoner's pre sence that he received the bills from him (prisoner), and tried apparently to induce him to endorse them. The prisoner came with Pearson to select the goods. The total amount of goods bought by Pearson between the 3d o! June and the 29th Aug. is £1,329 17s. Bd., of which I have only been paid £252 10s. Anguste Lorck, a foreign agf nt, who has disap peared from his office in Dunster-court since he was examined, said—l know of no other person of my name in Dunster-court. The acceptance to the bill for £126 14s. is not in my handwriting, neither has it been written by my authority. I know nothing either of the prisoner or Pearson. John Anthony Johnson, a woollen agent, said—l was engaged on the 7th of August last by the pri soner to buy goods for him in Pearson's name, and did so, th 6 prisoner giving me the money to pay my expenses down to Bradford and Leeds. Cross-examined—l was tried about two years ago for signing an order without authority, but I was acquitted. Charles Baker, a detective officer, said—When I took the prisoner into custody and told him the charge was for conspiring with Pearson, he said Mr. Walton had a bill of his for £550. Ed. Hancock said—l was with Baker, and at the prisoner's request I allowed a friend of his to accom pany him in the cab, and on the way I saw the pri soner pass something behind his back to him. At the station I asked the friend to give up what he had received, and he produced a bundle of papers. Squire Walton, the .prosecutor's son, corroborated a portion of his father's evidence, and said—l came to London on 27th of Sept. last for money. I went to Pearson's office, in Noble-street, and told him we wanted £l,lOO, and he took me with him to the prisoner's office, in Fenchurch-street. Pearson went in first, and sometime afterwards called me in and then left me alone with the prisoner. He told me he had received a letter from Florence that morning advising him of a remittance of a large sum of money. I asked him for some cash, and he replied that he had a drawer full of bills of exchange, and that I could take the amount I wanted. I told him we could not take any more bills, and he then said if we would wait a few days we should have every farthing. It was stated that, so far from the prisoner being a man of good means, he had only furnished apart ments; that there was not ss. worth of property be ' longing to him at his office, and that for some time past he had been constantly denied to persons, and among the number the sheriff's officers, who called at his office with applications for money. The next case against the prisoner was that of Mr. Reginald Chauncey, a retired army officer, who said—The prisoner was first introduced to me about a year ago. He represented that he could, in conjunction with M. Jean Marie Farina, whom he afterwards introduced to me, manufacture eau de cologne to sell at a large profit, which he was agree able to share with me if I was inclined to gointo it. He said that M. Farina would require £3O for the secret for making the eau de cologne, but he even tually accepted £lO. The person calling himself Farina signed the receipt, which was drawn out by the prisoner; and they manufactured seven and a half dozen of eau de cologne at my office, as a sample, which I afterwards sold. The prisoner produced the genuine labels of Farina's eau de Co logne, and said I could have the use of the plates, but he afterwards said one plate was missing, and asked me for money to pay for a new one being en graved. I gave him £6 by Eecheque made payable to Messrs. Smith and Co., the printers. The receipt on the back of that cheque I believe is in the prisoner's handwriting. I believe that the endorsement of " Newman and C 0.," on the two bills of exchange of Aug. 23, 1862, drawn by C. A. Martin, on Barnett, and of Bept. 19, 1862, drawn by Barnett and Co., on Pollack, are also in the prisoner's handwriting. I parted with other sums, amounting in the whole to about £6O, under similar circumstances; and upon the faith of the agreement I entered into being a genuine one with the real Farina of Cologne. The sample was all I got for my money. Cross-examined—The p r i soner a f terwar d s gave me a bill for £6O to get discounted, and I was to have received part of my money out of the proceeds. have not before seen the agreemeneproduced signed " Johann Maria Farina Imhoff," and dated Oct. 24, 1860. Tha ag reement I spoke to the prisoner about was in his handwriting, and dated 1850. I did not know that the person introduced to me as M. Farina was Imhoff until after I had advanced the whole of the money, and then the prisoner told me. M. Albert Domeier, of 7, Old Jewry, said—l am sole agent for Jean Marie Farina, of Julien'a-place, Cologne. I do not know the prisoner, but I do know Imhoff, and I believe the signatures to the agree ment and the receipt produced are in his hand writing. Cross-examined—There are 34 firms of the name of Farina who sell eau de Cologne, at Cologne, but ' ' there are onlysix or seven of the name of Jean Marie Farina The labels produced are imitations of those used by the house I represent. Thomas Thilford Hough said—l was in Mr. Chauncey's employ in March last. I knew Farina only by that name until after Mr. Chauncey gave up business, and he then told me that Farina was Imhoff. At the prisoner's request I endorsed the £6 cheque " P. P. Smith and Co., T.H.H.," but the name has since been altered. Mr. W. E. Smith said—l am a printer and en gravr, carrying on business in the name of "W. E. Smith and C 0.," at 124, Fenchurch-street. I never authorised any one to endorse my name on the cheque produced. I never saw it before. I have been paid £5 for a plate. That was the whole of the evidence in the eau de cologne case, and the following witnesses were then examined with reference to other charges :-- Mr. James Halliley, a woollen manufacturer at Earl's Heaton, in Yorkshire, said—l have a claim against the prisoner in respect of goods brought by Pearson when the prisoner was with him to the amount of £3OB. I still hold the prisoner's accept ance for £l5O, which will be due on the Bth of January next. Matthew Ellis, of the firm of Demas, Ellis, and Co., manufacturers at Dudley-hill, Bradford. I have done business with Peason, and in August last there was from £l5O to £230 payable to me, but not then due. He told me be was about to enter into an arrangement with a gentleman of ample means, that would place him in a splendid position, and he afterwards introduced the prisoner to me as that person. The prisoner said he had undertaken to assist Pearson, and asked me to discount some bills, amounting to £472. I advanced him £7O, a note for £5O and £2O in gold on the lot, ar.d have since made inquiries and cannot find any of the parties whose names are upon the bills. Mr. G. Toolson, a wollen manufacturer, of Dews bury, in Yorkshire, said—ln August last, the pri soner called at my warehouse with Pearson and Johnson. The two latter represented the prisoner as a man of substance, and they selected goods to the amount of £134. The prisoner referred me to Demas, Ellis, and Co., and to Jeremiah Walton, of Bradford, and I ultimately, at the prisoner's request, invoiced and sent the goods to Pearson, at 6, North street. Pearson gave me a bill at four months, which is not yet due. The prisoner afterwards came with Johnson, and ordered more goods, but I refused to send them unless I got Pearson's bill re turned. He went away, and I afterwards received a note for £5O and £2O in gold. Pearson had pre viously left with me some watches and musical boxes, and I afterwards, on declining to execute the prisoner's order for blankets, received a demand for the value of those goods, and for the £7O paid on account of the bill for £134. The watches were invoiced at £2 2s. each, and were worth only 15s. The musical-box invoiced at £7 7s. was not worth half that money. Walter P. Francis said—l was in the-prisoner's employ in October and November last, and have denied him to the sheriffs'officer while be (prisoner) has been concealed under the desk. I have denied him to his creditors in like manner, and said he had gone to the Exhibition. I produce the prisoner's letter-book. Pearson used often to write in it, the prisoner very seldom. Richard Phillpot, a sheriff's officer, said—l hold a warrant to take the prisoner for a debt of £47 13s. Mr. Soesan Abrahams, a wholesale grocer, of 41, St. Mary-at-Hill, said a person hired a room in his house as an office, and carried on business in the name of Bernard and Co. (the drawer of one of the bills produced). He left without paying the rent. Mrs. Lissen den, the housekeeper at 26, Bush-lane, said Pollock had a room in the house as an office, and left without paying any rent. Mrs. Augustus Pinfield, the housekeeper at 69, Hatton-garden, said—C. A. Martin took one room as an office, and painted up the name of Martin and Co. Cloth and other gods were brought there, and sent away immediately. Bills were presented and dishonoured, and the landlord eventually took the furniture in lieu of rent. Ann Beard, housekeeper at 28 and 29, Southamp ton-street, Strand, said a person named Barnett had one room there, and carried on business under the name of Barnett and Co. He dealt in various goods, and there were a great many applications about bills. He left without paying his rent. Mary Phillips, the housekeeper at 22, Fenchurch btreet, said, in reference to a bill drawn by Vavas seur on Chabey, that Vavasseur had two rooms, and the names of Vavasseur and Co., and Clermont and Co., were painted on the door. Vavasseur left without paying his rent. Elizabeth Deardon, landlady of 7, BloomfiQ,ld street, said—l know a person calling himself Mat thew Chabey, who bad two rooms at my house. I have distrained for the rent. He went away about a fortnight ago without paying the rent due. A great many applications have been made for him with reference to money. Before the case for the prosecution was closed, a letter from the Prussian authorities was put in and read, from which it appeared that the prisoner's real name was Charles Ferdinand William Hell wig ; that in 1846 he was convicted of fraud, and sentenced to six years' imprisonment ; that in 1850 he was again convicted of fraud, and fined 25,000 thalers, and in default sentenced to nine years' penal servitude, but the imprisonment impaired his health, and he was therefore granted a temporary leave of absence, during which he made his escape from the country, notwithstanding the strictest surveillance. Alderman Besley said he had received a letter from Newcastle-on-Tyne to the same effect, so there could be very little doubt of his identity. It further appeared that Arthur Ferdinand de Neumann became a bankrupt in London in July, 1855, and received a second-class certificate ; also, at Newcastle on-Tyne, where he ruined a family of the name of Hindhaugh, who received him into partnership, and threw their business into bank ruptcy for liabilities to the amount of £45,000. He was arrested for a debt proved under that bank ruptcy, and discharged him from prison 12 months after without obtaining a certificate. Since be has been in custody on the present charges he has been made a bankrupt for the third time. Alderman Besley having given the usual caution, committed the prisoner for trial. ASSIZE IN7ELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUI r-TAIINTON, Dec. 20. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Joseph Langley was indicted and charged on the coroner's inquisition with the manslaughter of his son, Charles Langley, on Dec. 6. Mr. T. W. Saunders conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Prideaux the defence. The prisoner is the landlord of the George Inn at Nettlebridge, in the parish of Midsoner Norton. On the evening of the Gay in question a quarrel arose between him and his son, who was about 21 years of age, and after a good deal of coarse language had been exchanged between them the son struck the father, who stabbed the deceased in the abdomen with a clasp knife which he had in his hand at the time. Both the prisoner and the deceased were the worse for liquor. After stabbing his son, the pri soner appeared very much distressed, and said, " Oh, I'm afraid you're done for. You will never hit your poor father any more. I wish some one would do the same for me." The deceased was at tended by Mr. Cartner, surgeon, but the wound proved fatal, and the deceased died on the following Monday morning. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom mended him to mercy on the ground of the provo cation he had received. His lordship said the recommendation of the jury should receive consideration, and passed a sentence of six months' imprisonment with hard labour. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YORK, Dec. 20. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT DIASBOROITOH. George Radford, 23, was charged with the man slaughter of William Cawthorne, on the 3d inst. Mr. Maule and Mr. Fullerton appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Waddy defended the prisoner. About 7 o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst., a boilor, at the Midland Iron Works, Masborough, near Rotherham, exploded, and William Cawthorne, who was working near, was thrown down, his clothes set on fire, and his death produced from the injuries he had received. Eleven other persons on the works had also met with their deaths, and it was alleged that the prisoner, by his gross negli gence, had brought about the explosion, hence the e e of a charge of manslaughter. The circumstances h case were plain and simple. At the wor k s in with ques tion a boiler was working, in connect ion steam-engine, which it supplied with steam o ~ Condy , and al .k , s with power for working what is called d t hammer." To the boiler were attache wo safety valves, and in the ordinary working it ought to have had attached to it a glass water- gauge, in or d er to enable the prisoner, w ho was the tenter, to kn ow a cistern not tar dstant, and it was necessary to supply the quantity of water w ithin the. boiler. The w a t er was obtained from i water to th e b o il er every half hour. Unfortunately, during the night of the 2d inst., there was no gauge to th e b o il er , as it had been broken, a n d i t was alleged the prisoner had neglected t o apply for a fresh before one. An hour the explosion the Condy ham mer had his been workedat all, so that he would not have his attention distracted from looking after the boiler. It was suggested on the part of the prosecution that the prisoner, h •neglected his having cinty in the first instan ce, the quantity of water in the boiler became insu ffi cient; ing become o ver h eate d , and the boiler supplied with water whilst in that state by the prisoner, steam generated too quickly, and the valves being inade quate to carry off the excess of steam, a pressure was brought on beyond that which the boiler w B . B ' enabled to bear, and the consequence was an explo sion. The boiler was calculated to carry 601bs. to, the square inch, and was in good working condi-• tion at the time of the explosion, From the evi: deuce, however, it appeared that the pri soner but appiied for a gauge previous to the accident, made the application to the wrong part he 1 31 : 4 y , having been long in his employ as tenter. Mr. Justice Keating left it for the jury totel say whether the explosion waa caused by the w(in water in the boiler, produced by the culpable' glect of the prisoner. i e uteg, , Tho jury, after consulting together a few In found the prisoner not guilty. he A similar verdict was re turned in the cases o f t other persons who were killed by the explosion* 7HE LOSS OF 711 E BRIG .REGARD• OFFICIAL REPORT. 15, 180. Sunderland, Dec. To the Lords of the Committee for Privy Council for Tr % d i: . My Lords,—ln obedience to your instructions, W e ' ib e t undersigned, two of her Majesty's Justices of the Peit ... , e6 ' this borough, assisted by Captains Harris and Baker, ;It tical Assessors to the Board of Trade, have held an ot fic) l o , inquiry into the circumstances attending the loss of the b'r Regard, and we have now the honour to rep ort : Thetb 111 the, Regard, brig Regard, of the burthen of 29 1 14-100 tons vrite . 0 at Hylton, in the county of Durham, ire November of t 1 ; 1 0 present year, and registered at the port of Sunderlan d was owned by Mr. Robert Cropton, of this port, ehd: d , commanded by Mr. Thomas Parker Marshall; // he t r il, certificate of competency as Master, dated the 13th f 1859. The Regard sailed from Sunderland on them .° lll- ,,:g ° the 12to November last, bound for Barcelona, with te. of coals. The crew consisted of 10 hands, all told. Ntit4,bl .11 of any moment occurred until 2. 40 a.m. o f the `-.1,18 of the same month, when Orfordness Light was seen on starboard bow, at a distance of five or six miles, the whi,,cl:, that time being from the N.N.8., and the course steeret:D to nearly the period of the wreck was S.W. and by S., as the ship's speed was represented to be about eight kno te .h hour, with all plain sails set. At 3.30 a.m., the Shir i r b p Light is stated to have been seen bearing N.W. an N., at a distance of about five miles, and th e same ce.'"Bo was continued till 4 a.m., at which time the Light was represented to bear when broug ht down ll' 5 the rigging due north, and the distance at that time Ivo% computed to be about eight or nine miles. During four hours it was flood tide, and the mate, wh o was hi et f r a; of the watch, was aware that it was setting to the wes t° to nevertheless, no precaution appears to have been take guard against this westerly set, for the sa me course ;0 still pursued. At 4.15 a.m., the master reli eved the till' and they went down below to consult - as to the ~P : a• tion of the ship, and they appear to have eadsfied t'-the selves that the ship was in a proper position, an' tl th foile course then steered would carry the ship a rail , ° r b and a half to the eastward of the Kentish Knock Wseen assumption which, on reference to the charts, will bed to be totally unfounded.

From the evidence, it would appear that the hellimivbe was hove occasionally. The lead was stated to have been )10 in weight ; but the ship's way was not stopped , nor l'ffie.:oo rounded to, and the speed being about eight kno ts, it ee'eety very clear to us that no correct soundings could hav e t he taken, particularly when wo notice, on referenc e ll chart, that the depths of water would be from 14 flea' fathoms. Taking all the evidence into our considn-olt we are of opinion that the Regard was lost by the de- or of the Master.
