COURT of CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-lIAVILAND V. ➢IORTIBOY, This is in reality an administration suit, but the question turns on the validity of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, at St. Pancras Church, in 1824. It is alleged that Mrs. Shepherd was previously married to Mr. Masters, then living, but now supposed to be dead. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the respondent's counsel, Mr. Rolt, Q.C., resumed the oral examination of several wit nesses and read several affidavits in support of his case, but nothing was elicited of sufficient public interest to require a detailed report. It is expected that the further proceed ings in this cause will extend over several days. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) BIKER V. MILNER.-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—This case is a very short one. It arises on a point raised in a will that is extremely obscure and difficult in its language, but the simple question is, whether the children or grandchildren are entitled to the residue of the testator's estate, and whether the grandchildren are entitled to take per stirpes, and not per• capita. It was declared by the will that the children were entitled to take the shares of their parents on attaining twenty-one. And the question was, whether the issue of the children predeceasing, or surviving his life, or attaining twenty-one, were entitled to take their parents' share of the residue. His Honour considered the children were entitled to the residue, and delared what portions they should take. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) JOSEPH V. GOULD-PUSHING THE "DUCHESS"- SINGULAR CASE. Plaintiff is principal in the house of Phillip, Son, and C 0.,, extensive perfume manufacturers of the City, and defendant is a dentist and chemist, of Kingston-on-Thames ; he is also a magistrate of that place. The action was brought to recover £lB for one dozen of a perfume called the " duchess," sold and delivered to de fendant. Plaintiff stated that his house had been established sixty years, and that this celebrated perfume was widely adver tised and commanded an extensive sale. Plaintiff's traveller called upon defendant and received an order from him for one dozen of the "duchess." Defendant refused to payfor these goods, which had been delivered in September last, and hence the present summons. Defendant objected to the jurisdiction of this court, and contended that he ought to have been summoned in the County Court at Kingston. The goods were delivered at Kingston, :and not to any agent of his in London. De fendant received the goods and paid the carriage. His Honour held that the Court had jurisdiction, upon which Defendant said he was rather glad his objection had been overruled than otherwise, inasmuch as it gave him an op portunity of exposing a system that was being carried on by plaintiff or his agent, that was deserving of the greatest reprobation. Under a representation that he (defendant) should be appointed sole agent to the plaintiff for the sale of the " duchess," and that the article itself had a most 'extensive sale in Kingston, he was induced to order one dozen upon sale or return. But instead of his being appointed sole agent, he found that another person had been induced to order some of the " duchess " upon the promise that he should be sole agent. Added to this, in four months only five bottles of this won derful perfumelad been sold in Kingston, and two out of the number had been sold at a reduced price. He, as a man of influence and position in his town, had taken this matter up for the protection of his fellow-tradesmen, and he (de fendant) would call the conduct of the plaintiff's agent to the notice of his Honour. It was much to be deplored that travellers, in their anxiety to get orders, should make any representation that would not be fully carried out by their principals. He refused payment on the ground that gross misstatements had been made to him, and he came forward now to protect his fellow-townsmen from such practices. His Honour had had on a former occasion reason to com plain of a system pursued by commercial travellers. Plaintiff trusted that in the absence of his agent he would not attach any importance to defendant's observations. His Honour should remember that these charges were all made s ex parte, and in the absence of plaintiff's traveller. Defendant said he had brought witnesses to • prove all his statements. His Honour said he must, in the absence of plaintiff's agent, nonsuit him, and award defendant costs. QUESTION OF PRACTICE-LAIRD V. WOODFALL. This was an action to recover £4 4s. for a gun. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchanan's) applied for au adjourn ment to be allowed to plead a set-off. His Honour could not,do so. Mr. Perry—Defendant could not find his book till a day or two since. His claim against plaintiff is as far back as 1852. His Honour—Then it is barred by the Statute of Limi tations. Mr. Perry—lt is just within the time. I will admit plaintiff's claim if he will let me go on with my set-off. Plaintiff—l will. His Honour—You cannot do that. Mr. Perry—Then your Honour can make an order for one month, and that will give me time to bring my action. Order accordingly. LAMBETH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Pitt Taylor.) BAKER V. NVILCOCKS.-ACTION FOR TRESPASS..- IMPORTANT POINT. Mr. Henry James (instructed by Mr. Buchanan) ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jones for defendant. The action was tried some time since, and the jury awarded £3O damages. Mr. Jones now applied to his Honour to enter a verdict for defendant, or nonsuit plaintiff, on the following grounds :—First, That a person named Jones being joint tenant with plaintiff, he should have been co-plaintiff in the action for trespass ; and secondly, that Jones had, by a written authority, empowered defendant to hold possession of the premises, and that there was a good defence by lease and licence. . Mr. Jones having been heard against the objections, his Honour reserved judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BOOT ROBBERY.—Thomas Hurlock, a carman, residing at 27, Ashford-street, Maiden-lane, was charged with stealing four pairs of gentlemen's boots from the shop of Mr. Alfred Spring, bootmaker, of 1, Tottenham-court-road. John Arnold, a baker, of 23, Stephen-street, Tottenham court-road, said that, on the previous afternoon, he saw the prisoner running at a very rapid rate along the road, having with him, on his arm, the boots in question. He pursued him, and while doing so the prisoner dropped two pairs of the boots, and he then seized him and took the others from him. Those produced are the same. The only reply the prisoner made, when he taxed him with stealing them, was, " It is not me—don't say anything." George Spring, foreman to the prosecutor, proved that the boots were safe in the doorway five minutes previously, and that they were the property of his employer. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, and said that if he wished him to settle it he must plead guilty. The prisoner, after some hesitation, pleaded guilty, and was committed for four months, with hard labour. . THAMES. THE POOR SCOTCHMAIC—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A poor careworn Scotchman, named Alexander M'Leod, was brought before Mr. Elliott charged with attempting self destruction in the London Dock. John Talbot, a police-constable, 156 K, stated that he saw the prisoner deliberately walk into the Shadwell basin of the London Dock. He got the drags and threw them in. The prisoner sank twice before he was taken out of the water, and ho had much trouble in saving him. The prisoner, who was greatly nitated, and whose ap— pearance excited great commiseration, said he had no home, no friends here, and was starving. A year ago he got dis— abled in Scotland, and lost the use of one arm. He wax sent to Cork, and from there was passed to London by the' United Shipwrights' Society. The authorities here woulet do nothing for him, and all the relief he obtained at tho union workhouses was a night's lodging in a casual ward! and a piece of bread in the m oming. His life was a burthet t to him, and he did attempt to drown himself. Mr. Elliott, without any comment, remanded the prisoner: for a week. COUNTY OF LINLITHGOW.—The Lord-Advocate of Scotland (Mr. Charles Baillie) has received a requisition. to allow himself to be nominated for this county in room of Mr. George Dundas, who has been appointed Lieutenant- Governor of Prince Edward's Island. His lordship has issued an address to the eectors, in which be says :-- " Should you do me the honour to return me to Parliament 4, I shall give my attention to every measure affecting th interests of the empire at large; and as regards Scotlan4 I in particular, I shall endeavour to prosecute further thos ) safe and judicious changes in our legal procedure and sys— tem of conveyancing in which my distinguished and learned. predecessors have already done so much credit to them selves and benefit to the country. You will not, lam sure,. expect that in my present position I should enter into any details on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, which novii attracts public attention, and which, I know, is under filo consideration of her Majesty's Government. I may say,. however, for myself, that, deeply attached as I am to due Constitution under which we have, as a nation, reached proud a pre-eminence, I readily admit that our representr r tive system may be further improved. ' I entertain a stron gi reliance on the good sense and patriotism of my fellow '- countrymen, and I hail with satisfaction and will promot e with cordiality any nnia:zure affecting the representation c f the people in Parliament which is calculated to strengthen and improve our institutions. and to increase the confidence-f with which they are regarded."

The Madrid journals of the 14th state that Marshal O'Donnell having learned that the committee on the budget proposed to increase the allowance for expenses of representation to the President of the Council, sent some of his friends, to beg that it would not adopt any measure of the kind. Some of the journals state that the Government has sent an agent into England to purchase twenty-four steamers of small tonnage for the Philippine Islands. It was said that the Government contemplates making various important reforms in the ad• ministration of the isle of Cuba. The French Peninsular Correspondence asserts that there is no truth in the statement made by some of the journals that the Duke de Montpensier is about to visit Italy. M. Rios Rosas had left Barcelona to continue his journey to Rome. In the Senate, the bill presented by Government making new re gulations respecting mines had been adopted. A grand review had been given in honour of Prince Adalbert of Bavaria. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK. The half-yearly general meeting of this bank took place to-day, Mr. Alderman Salomons in the chair. The report stated that the net profits of the bank for the last half-year were £86,350 10s. Id., after the various de ductions. This sum, added to £9,852 18s. ld., the balance of the previous half-year, and another surplus of £lO,OOO reserved in December, 1857, but not required, would make the total sum now available £106,203 Bs. 2d. Out of this the directors had paid the interest on the surplus fund at 6 per 'eent., and they now declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 6 per cent on the paid-up capital. After these payments there would be a balance of £12,073 ss. 11d., of which £2,073 51. Ild. wculd be added to the surplus fund ; and the directors recom mended that the remaining £lO,OOO, set apart in December, 1857, be also added to the same fund, which would then amount to £181,407 17s. 10d. It appeared from the balance• sheet that the total assets were £12,737,223 ss. sd. There was a brief discussion, but the report was adopted unanimously. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ADJOURNED INVESTIGATION. Yesterday, at two o'clock, Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex, and the jury empannelled on the 6th instant, to investigate the circumstances connected with the recent catastrophe at the Polytechnic Institution, re-assembled at the Lecture-hall of the College of Dentists, No. 5, Caven dish-square, for the purpose of further prosecuting their inquiry. - - The first witness examined was Mr. Smith, who stated that he was present at a number of experiments. made by Mr. Marsh Nelson and Mr. Eales, the architects, upon a portion of the fallen staircase. In the course of those expe riments the top stair of the upper flight had been very severely tested, and before it yielded it bore an enormous strain-20 times as much as it would ordinarily have to bear. Mr. Marsh Nelson, one of the architects appointed to give his opinion as to the cause of the calamity, then read his report, which having alluded to the nature of the accident, went on to state that it was his opinion that the alteration of the staircase was not the cause of the accident, but that the fall was caused by the giving way of the bottom landing (or the steps immediately resting upon it) of the first flight. The landing was supported by one end being pinned into the wall, and on the other by a joggle joint of imperfect construction, instead of having a solid bearing upon the iron girder, as is usual. The landing was cut to a feather edge, and nearly on the point of this rested the first of a flight of 18 steps, each five feet in length, and although the steps were pinned into the wall, Mr. Nelson considered that quite insufficient for such a staircase. The report went on to state the parts of the institution which were not fire proof, and concluded by recommending the jury to make such a presentment to Government as would induce Parliament early in the ensuing session to re-consider and re-construct the present inefficient building clause, and the laws for the supervision of places for public amusement, so as to prevent .es far as possible a recurrence of accidents which have been so frequent of late. Mr. Eales, the other professional gentleman, then read his report, which in the main agreed with that of Mr. Nelson. He condemned the manner in which the repairs to the stairs had been effected, and recommended for the future that geometrical staircases for public places of amusement should be prohibited, and that for the future it should be strictly enforced, that when the ends of stairs projected from the wall, those ends should be supported by rests rising from the ground. The Coroner said, the jury having heard the two reports read, he thought that, in order t 9 allow time for considera tion, the present inquiry had better be adjourned for a short time. The inquiry was adjourned until three o'clock on Mon day next. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat here to-day was very moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled somewhat heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Even the finest samples were neglected. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were tolerably firm. Barley moved off steadily, at very full prices. Thera was only a limited inquiry for malt, on former ;arms. We had a good consumptive demand for oats, at very full prices. Beans, peas, and flour changed hands slowly; neverthe less prices were supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

BRIGHT ON THE.. CURRENCY A number of the inhabitants of Birmingham, under the auspices of Mr. Edmund Taunton. having addresSed a memorial to_Mr. Bright, soliciting his " advocacy in Parliament, on behalf of - 14 interest of labour againit that of money," Mr. Bright ad dressed to them the following reply : " Rochdale, lan. 12, 1859. " Sir,—l have received a memorial with many signatures, of which yours is the first, requesting me to endeavour to procure the abolition of the monopoly in money.' It might be deemed a suffi cient answer to say that my tune and thoughts are just now so fully occupied with a great public ques tion that I cannot undertake anything further; that is certainly the position in which I am placed, but I will not confine myself to such a reply ; to tell you the truth, I do not comprehend what you complain of, or what you wish to be 'done, for in the many conversations I have ,had with persons whd thought themselves well informed on what is called Our monetary system,' I have never had the good fortune to find any two of them agreeing upon the exact grievdnee or the precise remedy. I have always thought this a great misfortune, be cause until I could see clearly where the wrong was, or is, I could have small hope of discovering a remedy. Ido not defend what exists in connexion with the Bank of England—much of it seems to be at variance with the laws of political economy, but I find many of the propositions made by those who wish for a change are even less in accordance with that science, and long discussion with those who most loudly denounce the present system only leaves me more puzzled than before; I confess, therefore, that I am not the most suitable person to undertake the great change which I presume you are looking for. I will willingly support any inquiry by Parliament in the hope that the truth may at last be discovered ; but I do not feel competent to teach Parliament and the country on the abstruse question to which you have drawn my attention. When it comes before the House of Commons I will give it all the con sideration in my power. I wish I could send you a more satisfactory reply.---I am, very respectfully yours, " JOHN BRIGHT." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Tma Me Registrar-General's Report.) From the return of births and deaths in London, issued by authority of the Registrar-General for the week ending Satuiday, Jan. 15, it appears that the London returns again exhibit a high rate of mortality. In the second week of the year (ending last Saturday) the deaths from all causes rose to 1,429, having been 1,338 in the first week of the year. In the ten years 1849-58 the average num ber of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,215 ; but as the number in the present return occurred in a population which has increased, it can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, namely ; 1,337. H ence it appears that the deaths of last week exceed by nearly 100 the number which would have occurred if a rate of mortality equal to the calcu lated average had prevailed. Though scarlatina continues to show a decrease, the deaths from it in the last two weeks having been respectively 119 and 102, the fatal cases of zy-motic diseases taken in the aggregate have increased. These rose from 317 to 348 ; and under this head measles increased from 43 to 49, hooping cough from 45 to 67, typhus from 31 to 41, diarrhoea from 6 to 11, rheumatism from sto 14. In the class of " local diseases" the deaths rose from 585 in the previous week to 626 last week ; but those from pulmonary diseases in this class were sta tionary (323 and 322), and the increase was derived from apoplexy, which was fatal in 19 and 33 cases, and paralysis, which was fatal in 18 and 28. Part of the increase in the "local" class was also from diseases of the digestive organs, the deaths from which in the two weeks were respectively 41 and 56. In the present return 7 deaths are referred to gastritis; 24 to diphtheria. Many persons at an advanced stage of life have succumbed to fate; 319 are recorded who had attained the age of 60 years and upwards, and of these one female was 90 years old, and four widows were 96, 99, 99, and 101 years. The centenarian died in the 'Strand. workhouse, but no evidence of her age could be pro cured except her own statement at the time she was admitted. A woman aged 53 years died from intemperance : she is stated to have been " a con firmed opium eater." The widow of a weaver, aged 70 years, died at 44, Sebright-street, Bethnal-green, from " the want of proper nourishment." Last week • the births of 933 boys and 897 girls, in all 1,830 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number 1,604. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.384 in. The barometrical readings varied from 30.64 in. on Sunday to 30.14 in. on Saturday. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on every day from December 31st to January 15th, both days included. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 39.1 deg., which is 3-5 deg.above the ave rage of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). On Tuesday and Wednesday the mean temperature was about 9 dc°. above the average. The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest point, 28'5 deg., on Sunday, and rose to its highest, 49.8 deg., on Tuesday. The range of the week was therefore 21.3 deg. The mean daily range was 9.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 86. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 39.7 deg. The wind blew gene rally from the south-west. There was no rain. EXPLORATION 01 AUSTRALIA. Mr. d. M'Douall Stuart, who was the draughts man in Captain Sturt's second great Australian expedition, has returned to Adelaide after a suc cessful exploration of the interior to the north of South Australia. After crossing the inhospitable region of Lake Torrens, he travelled in a zig-zag course, and returned with a knowledge of about 40,000 square miles of new country, of which nearly on e-halfis fit for immediate occupation. Mr. Stuart's discoveries have considerably weakened the suppo sition once entertained that the interior of Australia is an arid desert. There is now every reason to believe that there are patches of good country intersected with scrub throughout the whole length ofthewestern side of the Australian continent. The country from Lake Torrens to the Gulf of Carpentaria, the route of the early explorers, is no doubt a barren one, and the future tract, from south to north, must be along the elevated country in the west. Mr. Stuart had only one companion, besides the aborigines, and they were at one time dependent on their guns for a whole month to preserve themselves from actual starvation. The country through which they travelled was varied ; sometimes it was through a splendid alluvial country, very fertile, where kangaroo, emu, and cockatoos abounded, and at other times they passed through sandy scrub and stony deserts of the worst description. In 29 deg. south latitude Mr. Stuart discovered the finest creek he had ever seen in Australia. It had long, permanent reaches, fishes were in the water, rushes along the banks, and gum trees around. He also found permanent water at Andamoka, and aurifer ous quartz reefs. Mr. Stuart has applied for a lease of 1,500 square miles of the country he has discovered. The South Australian House of Assembly have agreed to give him a 14 years' lease of the land, which is to be rent free for the first seven years. The lessee is joined in his speculation by Mr. Campbell, a wealthy South Australian stock owner. The 1,500 square miles which will be leased is about the size of Cumberland, one of the largest counties in England. Owing to the discoveries of Stuart, no doubt is now entertained of the magnificent pastoral qualities of the interior, of South Australia. The new discoveries are to the north-east of Lake Torrens. Eyre, the ex plorer, believed this country to be a desert ; yet he expressed his surprise, while in the region of the lake, that, while hot scorching winds repeatedly swept across to the coast, yet storms which came up from seawards generally passed inland to the north-east ; that when the wind was from the north-east it was comparatively cool; and that large flocks of parrots, of an unknown variety, came from that quarter. THE ARMY. The detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry which served on board her Majesty's screw steam frigate Shannon, 51, Captain F. Marten (acting), in the East Indies, has joined head-quarters, Chatham, under the command of First Lieutenant W. Stir ling. As soon as the mutiny broke out in India the Marines were lauded and attached to the Naval Brigade, behaving with the in greatest gallantry. They served with the brigade action at Kujwa, near Futtehpore ; also at the relief of the Lueknow Residency, and the Kallinuddu-bridge engagement with the rebels, near Mhow. They were at the cap ture of Luckuow, and also at Cawnpore with the Gwalior Contingent. During the time they have been absent from England the detac hment lost nine men, two of whom were killed. They have brought home with them a large brass drum, which was captured from the 2d Regiment Gwalior Con ' tingent at Cawnpore. As soon as the marines have received their pay they will be granted six weeks' leave of absence. 1 Stringent orders have been issued 1 113 , the Gcne. ral in command at Chatham garrison, forbidding officers appearing in front of their quartersin plain clothes. THE COLONY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. Mr. Nugent, the late American Resident in Bri tish Columbia, lias addressed the following circular to the CitiZens of thc ;:_,Lalleb itileULL\ CA'O Island and British Columbia : "Having received from citizens of the United States, mining and trading on Fraser's River and in its vicinity, a number of letters complaining Of acts of injustice and oppression at the hands of the colonial authorities, and being on the eve of my departure to lay my report before the Government at Washington, I take this public method of ap prising American citizens sojourniu 0. in Vancouver's Island and British Columbia of the views of our Government in regard to their rights and standing in those colonies. " I need scarcely say that the Government of the United States expects of its. own citizens abroad a decent conformity with local regulations, obe dience to the laws of the countries they visit, and a proper show of respect for the authorities by whom those laws are administered. This is exacted of strangers visiting the different States of the Union, who are amenable to punishment for a violation of the laws of those States, or of the United States, as are American citizens for infrac tion of the laws of such foreign countries as they may miter in pursuit of pleasure or of business. Such of our citizens, therefore, as have taken up their residence in British Columbia and Vancou ver's Island are subject, like all other residents, to the laws of the colonies and of Great Britain, and are liable, like all others, to the penalties meted out by those laws to persons properly convicted of their violation. " I am aware that an elaborate attempt to im press these facts upon my fellow citizens in these colonies would be superfluous. Their sobriety of deportment, their decent observance of all the pro prieties"of life, in the midst of privations and annoy ances of no common degree, and their obedience to the law under very trying provocations to its in fringement, although they may not have gained for them such liberal treatment as was due to that for bearance and good conduct, have, nevertheless, commanded the respect of the strangers among whom they are cast, and cannot fail to be subjects of pride and gratulation to their own Government. " Considering the circumstances attending the recent settlement of these colonies, it was scarcely to be expected that a well-regulated Government could be at once built up out of the chaotic elements suddenly thrown together in such confusion. Much was to be pardoned in the inexperience of an Exe cutive hitherto dealing for the most part with savages, and possibly unprepared by previous train ing for the more refined exigencies imposed by Go vernmental relations with a white population— much of the cause of complaint:. that have-arisen was, to some extent, excusable, because due to the unlicensed rudeness of the subordinate officers of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Colonial Government, who, by reason of their long isola tion from civilized society, and their habitual intercourse with Indians, had unlearned most of the finer traits of humanity, and were scarcely account able for a grossness of conduct that has become to them a second nature ; and, lastly, much was to be excused in the ignorance and want of tone of tourts organised out of such crude and unfit materials as those, the only ones that were at hand on the sud den influx of the strangers. In some instances, no doubt, these courts have fallen short of even the limited expectations justified by the peculiar cir cumstances of their construction and the strange constituents of which they were composed. But it is not to be doubted that the British Government will, without unnecessary delay, provide remedies for the evils and abuses arising from this condition of things—evils and abuses affecting not alone the prosperity of its own subjects, but the rights of citizens of a foreign and friendly Power. " The forbearance, in the meantime, of the citizens of the Unitsd States, their quiet observance of the laws under any aggressions on their rights of which they may have to complain, will not alone have its reward in the consciousness of having done credit to their country—a country whose institutions are based upon that all-pervading love- of order and that spirit of obedience to the law which distin guishes its citizens—but it will, moreover, entitle them to the active intervention of their own Government for the redress of their grievances and for the protection of their rights. That the Govern ment of the United States, upon proper cause being shown—after recourse shall have been had in vain to the tribunals against acts of oppression or injustice —will so intervene for the redress and protection of its citizens in British Columbia and Vancouver's Island, I am authorised and instructed to give them the most emphatic assurance. If wrong be done them let them appeal to the courts. It is to be hoped they will obtain justice, but should thdse tribunals unfor tunately be too impotent, too ignorant, or too cor rupt to administer the law with impartiality and firmness, our citizens may reckon with certainty upon the prompt and efficient interference of their own Government in their behalf. The best guar antee I can furnish them of the certainty of such interposition will be found in the subjoined decla ration by the Hon. Lewis Cass, Secretdry of State of the United States, in a recent despatch to our Minister in Nicaragua, enunciating clearly and vigorously the views of our Government in respect to the rights of our citizens visiting foreign coun tries : " The United States believe it to be their duty, and they mean to execute it, to watch over the persons and property of their citizens visiting foreign countries, and to intervene for their protec tion when such action is justified by existing cir cumstances and by the law of nations. 'Wherever their citizens may go through the habitable globe, when they encounter injustice they may appeal to the Government of their country, and the appeal will be examined into; with a view to such action on their behalf as it may be proper to take. It is impossible to define in advance and with precision those cases in which the national power may be exerted for their relief, or to what extent relief shall be afforded. Circumstances as they arise must prescribe the rule of action. In countries where well-defined and established laws are in operation, and where their administration it committed to able and independent judges, cases will rarely occur where such intervention - will be necessary. But these elements of confidence and security are not everywhere found ; and where that is unfortu nately the case, the United States are called upon to be more vigilant in watching over their citizens, and to interpose efficiently for their protection when they are subjected to tortuous proceedings by the direct action of the Government, or by its in disposition or inability to discharge its duties; " It is unnecessary for me to make any further or more pointed application of this declaration to the circumstances of American citizens in these colonies. Their own intelligence and prudence will enable them so to guard their conduct that they shall never forfeit that provident and fatherly care and protection which it promises, and which the Go vernment of the United States has both the ability and the will to exercise over all its children, in whatever part of the world they may be. " JOHN NUGENT, " Special Agent of the United States. " Victoria, Vancouver's Island, Nov. 13, 1858." IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. THE LANDLORD DEMONSTRATION. A number of letters are published in the Post of this evening from - members of Parliament and other influential parties in reply to the circular invitation to attend the meeting of landlords on the 27th inst. Mr. Bagwell, the Member for Clonmel, and Mr. Loftus Bland promise to be present, but with a view of proposing amendments to the resolutions. Mr. Hugh Morgan Tuite, formerly member for Westmeath, and Mr. Bernal Osborne peremptorily refuse to have anything to do with the matter. The latter gentleman says, in the absence of any infor mation as to the construction of this committee, the names of the two honorary secretaries being alone attached to the circular, it is material the public should be informed whether any nobleman or gentleman connected with the south or west of Ireland has been consulted as to the correctness of the facts assumed in these extraordinary propssi tions, how far it is true that the " Riband system" has been "recently revived," and is the law really inefficient " for the protection of life and property ?" A resident in the south of Ireland, I venture to question the grounds on which such views are en- tertained, while altogether denying that the law, a; at present administered, needs any amendment so as to render it more effective " for the security of landlords who wish to improve their estates.," &c. Whatever may be the stat e of th e coun tie s o f Down and Donegal there is no sufficient evidence of the revival of Riband societies in this country. In general no one acquainted with Ireland will con• found the Republican aspirations of the so-called Phoenix clubs with the revival of Riband societies, and agrarian outrage. Unfortunately for the credit of the provincial committee, there never was a period when the county of Tipperary was so free from the illegal combination mentioned in Resolu tion No. 1. The 15 prisoners in custody in Belfast on the charge of being connected with an illegal society, were discharged on security to• day, lo appear at the next assizes. Bail was given, themselves in £lOO, and two Ltueties in £5O each.
