TILE FBAZER RIVER GOLD MIiVES. - From the San Francisco Evening Bulletin of June 5. The steamship Panama arrived here this forenoon at 11 o'clock, from ports on Puget Sound, and Victoria, Y.I. We have only time to lay before our Atlantic and European readers the following valuable correspondence, from our special ri corre spondents on Frazer river and at Victoria, in re gard to the new gold diggings in the North—to catch the outgoiug mail steamer for the East. Fort Langley, Frazer River, May 25, 1858. Since I last wrote you—on' the 11th instant—l have been up above Fort Yale as far as it was pos sible to get up in a canoe. I left Fort Hope on the 12th, and arrived at Hill's Bav, one mile below Fort Yale, and fifteen miles from' Fort Hope, by noon. This bar is about 500 yards in length, and about 60 men were working on it, th .e claims being each 25 feet front. The river from Fort Hope to Fort Y 'ale presents no difficulties whatever to canoes ascend' ng, except in one place, where there is a rapid, win 'di, how ever, is no great obstacle, as close to the 5, Nom) in the eddy, a canoe is easily towed past. But, about one half mile above Fort Yale the river time's its passage between huge rocks—the sides almost pscl'r pendicular—and a canoe cannot be taken any fat - then From thence, all goods have to be packed. Now and then a stretch of a mile or so is found, where the canoe can be of service. Some 200 Indians, with their squaws, were at work on the bar when I arrived, and they were nowise particular in seizing on the dirt which the miners were digging up, for their own washing. The whites were not troubling them—suffering all and trying to promote good feeling with them— although they were annoyed and insulted very much. The morning I arrived two men (Kerrison and Co.) cleaned up 5i ounces, from one rocker, the product of half a day's work. Myself and partner staked off two claims, and set to work making rockers ; and no boards being on the bar, we had, per force, to go to the woods and fell and hew out our lumber. Kerrison and Co. the next day cleaned up 10 ounces, from two rockers, which I saw my self weighed. This bar is acknowledged to be one of the richest ever seen. Old California miners say they never saw so rich diggings. The average re sult per day to the man was fully s2o—some, much more. The gold is very fine, so much so that it was impossible to save more than two-thirds of what went through the rockers. There was no quick silver to be had ! one man went down to Fort Langley and bought one pound, paying $l5 for it. Numbers of canoes were arriving every day; and by the time I left to come down here, they were scattered all along the river, from Fort Yale to Fort Hope. The river was rising steadily at the rate of about a foot a day ; and when I left, on the 23d, the bars were nearly covered with water. By this time all river mining must have ceased. The miners were building cabins, &c., when I left. Rocker irons were in great demand, but few hav ing brought them with them. Nails brought from $1 to $1 50 a pound. One lot of a dozen pounds brought s3—or two bits a nail. Afe w days before, a canoe arrived, bringing a small supply. A trader came up with a lot of provisions, and three barrels of whisky, and one of brandy ; and in ten minutes afterwards, the bar was in commo tion. He drew his revolver on some drunken In dians, who were at his tent, and instantly the In dians rans to their tents and brought out their muskets, and things looked very serious for a few moments ; not a miner offered to go to the trader's help, however, but one of a party of boatmen from San Francisco, who are working claims here, walked up with an axe over his arm, and another rolled the casks out, whilst he smashed their heads in— an operation which met with the unanimous ap proval of all the white men on the bar. The miners called a meeting and passed some laws. One of these laws prohibited any liquor at all coming on the bar, and any person found either selling or giving the Indians any, was to not only forfeit all ereeig. elaim—if ha had one—bat be sent down tuts liver ba 4 eAnue wiatJut any pl+lll=l. The man's name was Patsey—something, I have forgot what ; but he certainly deserved great credit for his nerve, to do what he did in the midst of a crowd of excited Indians, maddened with liquor and armed to the teeth. At " Sailor Diggings," above Fort Yale, they are doing very well, averaging from $8 to $25 per day to the man. The water was rising fast on them, however, and they must soon be at a stand-still. From the best authority I could get, I find that the river will be at its height about the middle of June, say the 20th, and about the 15th of July will commence falling. Flour was selling at $lOO per barrel, or $5O a hundred, at Sailor Diggings. It was selling for $45 at Hill's Bar when I was there. Bacon was $l. per pound. At Fort Hope there was nothing but dried salmon, at a bit apiece, a little flour, and some tea, for sale. I left Fort Yale after breakfast, and arrived here, stopping at Fort Hope on the way, before sundown. It took me five days to go up the river over the same ground, so you can form some idea of the current. Here I found the Company's steamer Otter at anchor, which had arrived from Victoria a few days ago, with the launch of the war steamer Satellite astern, armed with a brass 12-pounder, rend manned with a crew of some thirty marines and sailors, with lots of rifles, an. I also learned that the Satellite was anchored off the mouth of the river, and no goods .or provisions were to be allowed to enter the river for the purposes of trading. Miners were free to go and come, with their tools and provisions only. Governor Douglas was here and some of the direc tors of the Company. Some 100 men were camped on the beach, and more continually arriving. A Chinaman from the Sound had opened a " Miner's Home," in a log cabin ; and the fare he offered really would have done no discredit to a first-class restaurant. The miners were in great commotion about apro clamation which appeared on the gates of the Fort, a copy of which I enclose to you, published in the Bulletin, which prohibits the bringing in of any goods, or in fact, attempttng in any way to trade on this river, or in this territory. The Hud son's Bay Company claims the sole right to all trade and jurisdiction over this country, by right of their charter from the English Government, and subsequent acts of Parliament. This clapped a stopper on ten out of eleven persons who were hurrying off to the Sound and Sail Francisco, for the purpose of bringing in goods, kc., their visions of fortune and " piles' were dissolved like snow in - warm water ; and the long faces on the beach sug• gested to one not knowing the cause, the idea of their having heard of the demise of some near rela tive or dear friend. The license to work in the diggings is to be $5 per month ; but will not be demanded, I believe, until the Company are enabled to give the miners some protection in return r either through soldiers, whose arrival, it is rumoured, le daily expacted in the II ananuah, a British ship of war, or through a local police. The Governor is about starting up to visit the mining regions. He has been visited by great numbers of the miners, and has, so far as I can learn from them, evinced every desire to supply the mines immediately with goods and provisions, whilst he is determined to enforce the rights of the Compaay. It is understood that the Company will send immediate supplies up, and will furnish them, to the miners at reasonable rates. I have been informed by a friend in the Com pany's service, that arrangements have been nearly concluded with the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany, to run a line of steamers to Victoria, V. 1., from San Francisco—the Hudson's Bay Com pany to have control of the line, so far only that their freight is to be brought up in them. Passengers, on their arrival at Victoria, are to be charg e d 2 d o ll ars a h ea d . Th e C ompany intend immediately t o p l ace a steamer on f rom Victoria to the river running up as far as Fort Yuba. One can but imagine what this river and the upper country, for so long the solitary home of the savage, will look like in six months from now. The tdd English and Scotch employes of the Corn rpany seem like so many Rip Van Winkles already men who have been been out here 20 to 40 years, drand who sometimes have not seen a white man for a year at a time, whom no difficulties or dangers seem to daunt. Yesterday afternoon a canoe arrived from the mouth of the river wita the body of a man, named Charles Adams, a trader. was shot through ike heart by one Chas. McDonald, whilst en camped near the mouth of the river, on his way to Point Roberts. It appears that the two were partners. Adams owed McDonald some money, and left here the day before. McDonald left shortly after, maki ng threats that he would have either his money or Adams' life. He caught tip to Adams, and, oirlandn g, called Adams to one side, tr, talk i ; and whilst Adams was sitting upon a stump smoking his pipe, McDonald drew his re volver, some ten paces off, and shot bim. McDo nail then took all the gold dust and coin which Adams had in his canoe, and left. A boat was sent after him from the Satellite on their receiving notice of the above, but I have not learnt whether they caught him or not. If they do—&c., &c. They held an inquest on him this morning, here in the fort, and the verdict was in accordance with - • the above circumstances. The case being one to which the people here are not accustomed, I% Ir. G. W. Tennent, of San Francisco, was request ed to act as foreman of a jury to investigate the of fair— from whom I learn the circumstances. It 1 vas a cold-blooded murder, and if McDonald is can ht he will have but short shrift. • I intend remaining here—perchance at an ode in terval taking a trip to Victoria, until the :river commences falling, when I will start for as far' up the river as I can get. lam told that the gol .d is much coarser on Thompson river than it is on 1 rra zer river. I saw yesterday about 250 doll. of coarse gold from Thompson river in pieces averaging 5 dc ds. each. Some of the pieces had quartz among thei n. I made a mistake in calling Hill's Bar, KerrisoL is Bar, in my last letter. Hill was the last miner on it, and with his partner has made some 500$ in abomt 16 days' work. There is a great crowd at Bellingham Bay, ap parently waiting for " something to turn up. ' Many have come over the trail from Shuawap Lake —some 40 miles—from whence they reach the river in canoes, and may have tried it only to return to the Bay. None whom I have heard but pro- , nounced it a humbug ; but they say that a trail can be opened, when it will be easy enough to cross. But, of course, the arrangements which the Company are making to run a steamer from Vic toria, will render the route from Bellingham Bay a I nullity, since the other will be much the best route from San Francisco, to reach the mines, besides being the Only route by which the company will 1 allow trade a:id travel to enter the country. It was very w,Nrm whilst I was up the river. Fort Yale was a perfe,/t oven, being surrounded by .mountains. Canoes I,zre very xisen from 80 to 400 doffs: scarce ; the price has Many parties have made light boats, but a canoe is Oluch to be preferred for s eoending the river. 3y some men who have just ;:rrived from Sailor ,3y and above here, I learn .4,hat the river in covered the the plast two days has completely . brought digging, having risen three feet. Th: 4Y down 679 dols. in dust amongst three fa I ,` them — the result of twelve days' work. The gold iP very fine ; they say that if they had had quicksilver th,'W would have had much more. The Satellite is anchored off the mouth of the river and is overhauling every boat entering the river, not allowing any goods to be brought in. The Otter is landing about 90 tons of provisions, etc., which came up from San Francisco in the Commodore. The weather has been very fine since I have been up here, though the past few days we have been visited with plenty of rain. I send you a sketch of the river up as far as I have gone myself ; and above there from informa tion I have obtained from the Company. VICTORIA, VANCOUVER ISLAND, May 31, 1858. The Panama anchored cif the mouth of the harbour at daybreak this morning. As the arrival of a mail is THE event of this and every other civilised community, the inhabitants were astir earlier than usual. This amendment to their general habits may be continued and will certainly tend to their benefit. Since my last communication, Governor Douglas has issued his prosilamation in regard to the traffic on and navigation of Praiser river. The document appeared on the 11th inst., although dated six days previous. The tenor of the language is doubt, hope, and promise. For a legal instrument, it possesses these strange and unusual qualities. I have before me copies of correspondence, addressed to the Governor, relating to this proclama tion ; his reply thereto is delayed by absence. Vessels of any flag or class can obtain et this port a clearance for Fort Latigley, Frazer river, at a cost of 12 dole—decked boats, 6 dole. This " permit" is granted for passenger conveyance only, and for the sup plies and implements snob as miners generally require. Merchandise on sale or freijiit will not be allowed to be landed at Fort Langley—the Hudson's Bay Company being determined to Monopolise the entire trade within their boundaries. I very mush doubt, however, if they will effectually succeed in doing so. H.B. M. steamship Satellite is anchored off the mosith of Frazer River. Every vessel entering is boarded, and the Governor's proclamation is read. Furthermore, they are told that the Hudson's Bay Company will seise them, if they pro ceed. It is very evident, however, that Captain Prevost will not do so—indeed, I doubt if he h'ae the power— certainly he has not the desire. Yet in using his ship and name for the Governor's manifesto, Is fills a form of law, and nothing more. The licence to mine alluded to by the Governor is not ready for issue in duly printed form. The rate fixed upon for ti.ia de,;Lato privilege is one pound sterling, equivalent to five dollars, payable monthly. ..a.t the present moment, there is not a miner who has taken any licence, for the reason that everything on the dig gings is in a state of chaos. At this early moment they are without any proper officers or protection of any kind. As soon, however, as these matters become re gulated, this or some other method of taxation will be adopted and enforced. I have no doubt the Govern ment will form a similar class of legislation for these gold-fields, as they have done in the Australian Colo nies. If they do this, no reasonable miner can object, as many now in California can attest the spirit of fair ness which actuated the decisions of the various gold commissioners in Australia. Yet, while Governor Douglas Is the representative of the British Crown in these dominions, it cannot be ex pected that he will ever hoist the ensign of a " fair field and no favour." The interests of Governor Douglas are closely allied to the Hudson's Bay Company, of which he is chief factor. The dividends of Fenchurch street, where the Company's office in London is, touches his patriotism. No broad and comprehensive legisla tion can be hoped for while Governor Douglas wields the sceptre of power the anomalous position which be holds forbids it. Free action and free trade clash against the dividends of the Hudson's Bay Company. Then, would it be natural to suppose that chief factor Douglas would curtail these for the benefit of his country, from which he only derives the bare honour of being her re presentative? This state of things, like other incongruous facts, must soon cease; and chief factor Douglas will re turn to that sphere to which he properly belongs. His position is destined to be filled by some gentleman of the British realm, whose statesmanship, capacity, and liberal sentiments are equal to the times and the occasion. Such is devoutly to be wished, not alone by the writer, but by every free and independent colonist. Alas, there are but few such. Their usual paltry indebtedness to the company keeps the few that have the power from being outspoken, and they bend their knees and yield their sentiments as willing victims to a rank and gross mo nopoly. The news from the gold fields continues favourable, although the river had risen considerably and compelled many to cease working. In my previous communica tions I recommended those who had " the fever " to de lay their departure. On this account I renew the admo nition. The month of July is quite soon enough to make the start, yet, if. persons will persist, they at least can look at the columns of the Bulletin and see how earnestly and sincerely they have been advised. Many of the colored people who are here, Archy Lee amongst them, purpose remaining. They are delighted with the social equality and fraternity accorded them ; but I warn these colonists against amalgamation. Is there a stain or curse so great ! Let the negro be treated justly and humanely ; but cast aside social dis tinctions and privileges and you elevate him to a sphere of equality which is dangerous and terrible to contem plate. How I wish that I could collect five hundred Sambos with the mercury at 100 degs. ; I would suddenly let loose this mass of fetid current upon those who know not any difference between the races. This at least would be evidence of how much stronger are the " brudder blacks ;" and in "my mind's eye" I can see hones* women retreat in a whirlwind of disgust, shame, and mortification. If slavery is wrong, which has to be decided by those alone among whom it. exists, the falqe education of white children of perfect equality of the blacks, is a monstrous wrong, an infamy which, if per pAuated, must bring curses and confusion upon any people or country. There are a few land speculators here whose merits are as well understood and appreciated as they are in your city. As usual with this class, they are over ready to portray magnificent streets and residences, and rail roads and gas-works. Unfortunately for them, the bare lying—laying, I mean to say—of the latter, sooner or later, consumes their shadowy fortunes, drawn by the purchase of a few forest acres, which they would induce innocent and benevolent minds to believe would soon grow churches, schoolhouses, and babies, instead of wild trees and barren rocks. At the sailing of the last steamer from San Francisco, the excitement about the new gold dis coveries at the Frazer River was on the increase, and thousands were preparing to leave for the new diggings. The following are extracts of private letters to gentlemen in New York city i " San Francisco, Jane 4. " You will be astonished to hear of the Frazer River excitement. There is not a doubt of the gold fields being extensive and exceedingly rich—as rich and large as the California placers of '49, and, if report be true, more rich. The excitement in the State is immense, and thou sands are awaiting the news by the Panama, now coming. If she confirms former reports, there will be a grand exodus from here. This new gold field must start an immense immigration from the Atlantic States." Another letter states : " The all absorbing topic just now is the new diggings at Frazer's River, whiCh has set all California in a blaze —almost equal to the first days of the discovery of gold. The miners in many parts of the country are preparing to leave, and for the next four months the ships on the route cannot carry the crowds that will offer. I will not give my opinion as to the permanency of the new discovery and the effect of it on oor population, but others better informed than I am say it will strio this State of at knit 25,000 the coming year. The Pikes' (people from Pike county, Mo., alias ‘Greybacks') are all for the new diggings at Frazer's River, and it is esti mated that over 1,500 are in town awaiting the chance to go. The steamer Panama will have, on the 7th, all of 500, and could have 1,000 if she could take them. It is supposed that the prices of labour will materially ad vance, say 25 to 50 per cent., if this excitement continues, and I see no reason to doubt it. Labourers in the mines are already demanding $5 per day, instead of $3, which has been the price. " P.S.—June s.—The Panama is just in. The news from Frazer's River is great ; gold plenty as blackber ries ; the city is full of excitement, and the prospect is that thousands will go." THE UNITED STATES. (From the Times Correspondent.) NEW YORK, JUNE 29. The excessive heat of the past four days has sus pended all business. The sun has blazed down from a brassy sky without a cloud to intercept its rays. The heated bricks and stones in town have turned the atmosphere they reflect into something resem bling what I suppose the interior of an oven may be. In the country' the foliage of the trees has withered under the blaze. Not even the usual sea breeze has come in the evening to relieve the ex hausted frame. The long hot nights have been more insufferable even than the day. From every quarter we hear the usual acounts of the effects of such protracted and powerful heat upon the imprudent labourers. The columns of the journals record many instances of death from sunstroke, sometimes instantaneous, sometimes with more protracted suffering. The Moses Taylor arrived from Aspinwall on Sunday with $1,799,502 in gold. The reports of the gold discoveries on Frazer's River are fully con firmed. All doubt in regard to the richness of the mines is dispelled, and the floating vagabond bor der-ruffian gold washers of California were moving up in mass. The considerations which should in fluenoe prudent men—viz., the difficulty in getting there, the cold climate, the impossibility of working for at least two winter months by reason of the cold, the high price of provisions, and the immi nent danger of a conflict with the hardy tribe of Indians, whose rights the white vagabonds never regard,—these considerations have no weight with the class of men that are in motion. The authork ties of the Hudson's Bay Company are evidently alarmed at the prospect of such an invasion. They have issued a proclamation, warning persons from entering Frazer's River for the purpose of trade, such acts being contrary to law and infringements upon - the exclusive rights of the Hudson's Bay Com pany ; and that all persons, boats, and ships, found 14 days after the date of the proclamation in Fra zer's River, or in any of the bays, rivers, or creeks of the British possessions on the orth-west coast of America, without a licence from the Hudson's Bay Company, shall be liable to forfeiture, and will 1 3 9 seized and condemned according to law. There i s pi . ,ntty of trouble ahead. The class of men whom the Coi:lPanY Propose to exclude have not much respect for proclamations. They have as little re gard for such sort of " powder," and as little re spect for a paper claim to the exclusive occupation of a continent, as the British fleet had for the similar claims of Commissioner Yeh. Ido not sup nose that any attempt would be made to enforce a forfeiture of a vessel. The mere assertiou of the right appears to have stirred up the gold diggers wonderfully. The same steamer brings intelligence that the Governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica have granted to Mr. Vanderbilt and his associates the exclusive right of working the transit route by way of San Juan,—the river and lake. The former grant to the Transit Company is revoked for failure on the part of that company to comply with the conditions of ihe grant ; and now Mr. Vanderbilt has ob tained, for the little sum of 100,000 dols. lent to Nicaragua (and for which a State Royalty upon the income is ple.dged) dole., the control of the route, and the possession of • and the further sum of 32,000 all the property This transfer and grant are sa id to have been anterior h eT6hthe day 0 ,.c. the former companies. datedß e l ly. t . t o o f I the nc o s r u p p o p r a o t s i c o d n o a n s c p e u s s b i l o i n s h t e o ui M i s . of May. The concession referred to in it is dated the gth day of March. We have also, by the same source, intelligence of the completion of the proposed arrangement for consolidating the separate republics of the Isthmus into a Federative body, with a common central Government. This measure was recommended by the United States' Government many years ago ; but at that time the difference between the States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua ran so high, and the mutual jealousy between the United States and Great Britain was so great, that it was impossible to bring it about. The relations between the United States and Mexico are complicated by the retirement of the United States Minister to that country, who has demanded his passports in consequence of the at tempts to enforce the involuntary loan. The cor respondent of the Tribune says—with what truth I cannot say—that " It is probable that Col. Forsyth bas asked for his passports, eho elug the intcretion of Mr. Bu chanan to recall him, and wishing to withdraw with an imaginary eciat." The intelligence from Utah by way of San Fran cisco confirms that received by the overland route. Only a few Mormons remained at Salt Lake city to take care of the crops. Three sur veying parties had gone southerly in different directions. Some supposed that Brigham Young had selected as the place of his future residence an unexplored tract of 'country between the Central route and the old Spanish trail to New Mexico ; while others, probably better informed, sup posed that Sonora, or one of the adjoining Mexican States, was to be the future home of the Saints. While the United States' Government are driving them out at the point of the bayonet because their theocratic fora. of despotism and their social insti tutions conflict with those of the rest of the United States, and make an existence under the same Government impossible, doctrines more extraordi nary than theirs and more subversive of all that is good in society are freely proclaimed under the very shadows of the Puritanic mountains of New England. Persons dissatisfied with the rest of the world, and admirers of themselves, have j net been gathered together under a canvass tent among the mountains of Vermont, with an explosion of gasconade ribaldry and lasciviousness that puts Brigham Young to the blush and Mormonism in the shade. Marriage is denounced as the cause of the slavery and degra dation of woman, whereby she loses the control of her name, her person, her property, her labour, her affections, her children, and her freedom ; and a pretty delegate from New York—representing what department in our Babel I cannot say—on "the sunny side of 30," with pretty curls, bewitching smile, sparkling eyes, and sweet elocution, held forth upon this text in a speech that fills a column and a-half in the morning journals. She treated her subject con amore, but in language that will hardly bear transcribing. Discontented minds of every sort were there represented, complaining—some of the restraints of the marriage tie, some of the weight of the Church and religious institutions, some of the sin of slavery, some of the unjust distribution of property—all of the sinful mote in the eyes of offending friends and strangers, none of the beam that was blearing their own vision. Two or three times a-year there has to be just such a " stampedo" of "isms." The public is amused or shocked, ac cording to its fancy, and the spread of these pecu liar tenets is effectually checked by the absurdity of the display.

Rear-Admi.zal of the Red Sir Charles Howe Fre mantle, K.C.B , one of the most active and de servedly popular in the service, was on Thursday appointed the commander-in-chief, and will forth with hoist his flag at Portsmouth on board the Duke of Wellington. Sir Charles Fremantle is in his 58th year, which, as the admirals' list goes, must be thought young. He is also full of vigour, and, upon the whole, we may congratulate the First Lord upon the discretion he has displayed in selecting this officer from among the numerous aspirants for this distingui-hed post. The flag cap tam and other officers composing the staff have not yet been named. Great care will be necessary with regard to the captain and commander of the flag sbip, for these are times in which a little delicate handling will do great things towards manning the fleet, while the want of it will be productive ofninch mischief." The screw steam ship Royal Albert, 121, from Malta and Gibraltar, arrived in Plymouth Sound in the afternoon ; she saluted outside the break water. The Hon.

GUILDHALL' —EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF AFFI LIATION.—A most extraordinary case of a ffiliation was decided at this court on Saturday, by Alder man Gabriel and Alderman Hale. The case bad been four times before the Court previously, and remanded for further evidence un tilkto-day. On the previous examination it was shown on behalf of the plaintiff, Ann Butler, that she was a married woman, formerly living at Horsham, in Sussex, and that her husband had deserted her in 1841 and had gone to America, since which time she had seen nothing Retford, the elder, w of him. The defendant, T. a s a retired butcher, residing in West-street, Horsham, and be became acquainted doctor, antual ignehentmeurernsbet; p r i P I e g a the re d with the plaintiff; but the precise date of the com mencement of their ac quaintance did not transpire. It must, however, have been prior to 1847, as it appeared money was e a f n e d nd o a n n F t egba.ve6 the sent tloB4h9erndoumrionngeydua years 1847 and 1848 from Horsham, while she was Lying at Brighton. During p l a intiff ; but in the beginning to hate been sent to of 185() she was sent there T ag ht a e L:a was delivered of a child. plaintiff's mother 31. to pay Jane Monnery to Ann which it was stated she and other expenses attending the her confinement, a post-office order from Butler. Mrs. Green, the plaintiff's sister, also proved re ceiving various sums of money from defendant for her sister for years after the birth of the child, most of which was transmitted by post-office order. The regular periodical payments were kept up till the month of March lass, when they ceased, and the re sult was the present proceeding. Mr. Burt, solicitor of East Grinstead, cross-exa mined the witnesses very closely as to the money being sent by post-office . of-jets at the times stated, and then conteuded that, as he was in a posi tion to negative that portion of the evidence, the magistrates ought not to crAit the other portion of it. Alderman Gabriel said he did not thank it was of any consequence the inaccuracy in the statement about transmitting the money, for if it had been misappropriated it would not have affected the question. The real point wan, had the defendant given the 3/. and other sums for the specific pur- Mr. pose of maintaining the child. Burt said he contended that the mon©y had never been given at all, and there was no corrobo rative proof of anyone payment. Besides that he contended that the child was not illgiti mate, as the husband of the plaintiff was living in England from 1847 to 1850 in the vicinity of where the wife re sided, and there was no impediment to their meet ing. He was in a condition to prove the presence of the husband in Horsham at the times he had stated, and also that no post-office orders had been sent to the plaintiff at the times stated. Looking at these circumstances, and the advanced age of the defendant, he trusted the magistrates would hesi tate before they would bastardise a child on such doubtful evidence. He then called John Grazebrook, who said he was a butcher, residing at West-street, Horsham. He knew Henry Butler, the husband of Aun Butler. He saw him last Sunday at Shoreham, but he was living at Brighton. He knew that he went to America, the first time in 1841, and returned in July, 1847, and left again in July, 1850. He did not remem ber having seen him during the years 1848 and 1849, but believed he must have seen and drunk beer with him several times. He never saw his wife with him. Mr. William Goldsmith, the present postmaster of Horsham, produced the post-office books, by which it appeared that no sum of 3/. bad been sent to the plaintiff during the year 1850; that no order had been sent during the whole of the year 1849, but that for some years, both before and after, she had been in the habit of receiving them. Mr. Burt submitted, on this evidence, he was entitled to the decision of the Court in favour of his client. Alderman Gabriel said his brother magistrate and himself had not the slightest hesitation in adjudg ing the defendant to be the fattier of the child, and made au order for the payment of 2s. Gd. per week and costs. Mr. Burt said, with all due respect, he would appeal against the decision. BOW-STREET. —John Winter and Charles Wellbeloved, described as "commission agents," were charged with causing an obstruction in Great Queen-street, by betting. One of the constables of the F division (Venes, 96) stated that he was in Queen -street, Lincoln's inn -fields, at two o'clock in the afternoon, when he saw the defendants standing together on the pave ment. One of them was looking at a newspaper, and the other was writing something in a book. He knew they were betting, and therefore he de sired them to go away. They refused, Winter say ing, "If I go anywhere I'll go to Bow-street to re port you, for you have no right to interfere with me." I then took them into custody. On owe way to the station Winter stopped and said, " j want to step in here for a moment," pointing to a shop. I said, "No, you won't, though, you') go to Bow street ;" and I refused to let him go into the shod. He,,then struck me a violent blow in the face. The prisoners were searched at the 'station, and several betting-books, papers, He had cautioned th e once before the same morning.weire found upon them. prisoners Mr. Jardine, who appeared somewhat surprised at the charge, sent over for the sergeant on duty at the station, upon which it was explained that the charge wns not, for betting in th e s t r eet, bat for , " causing ar: ob s t ruc ti on b y b ett i ng i n the street.' Ho adder assemblage o f peop l e f or b ett i ng oppos i te a cigar -1.. that th ere were grea t comp l a i nts o f th e shop in Queen-street. The defendants complained of the unwarrantable interference of the police. There was no obstruc tion--there could be none in a broad thoroughfare like Queen-street from two people talking together, and yet they were dragged through the streets, and search e d a t th e police-station like common felons. Surely there could be no law in England to justify such treatment as this. Winter admitted that he struck the officer, but under great provocation, for his arm was black and blue from the unnecessary violence used by the constable. Mr. Jardine said it was perfectly lawful, no doubt, to take any persons into custody who per sisted in obstructing the footways by congregating together and betting there. The obstruction was not proved in this case, and therefore the defend ants might be discharged. Names of Companies. Ashtn &Oldh Birmingham Coventry.. • • Derby .. • • . • GrandJonctn Do., 6 pr. Ct.

On Saturday moraing George Blewitt, a farm labourer, was brought up for the third time before a full bench of magistrates, at the Court-house ad joining Ilford Gaol, Essex, charged with being con cerned with several persons in the murder of Geo. Clarke, a police constable of the K division, who wa, iuun.l 1 , 1-n 1 n'l mrifilated in acorn-field in the parish of Dagenham, on tne evouing .L day, July 3, 1846. Mr. Rawlings, solicitor, of Romford, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. superintendent Howie, of the K and Inspector Whicher, of the detective force, were in attendance on the part of the Metropolitan Police Commissioners. The Chairman addressed Inspector Whicher, who had charge of the case since the prisoner's appre hension, and asked him if he had been able to ob tain any additional evidence in connexion with the murder ? Inspector Whicher answered in the negative, and said that be and other officers had been engaged, but they had not succeeded in getting any other testimony. The rumours that were in circulation last week were unfounded. If they had been true they would have been highly important in the case. The Chairman.—Then you have no other evi dence to bring before the bench? Inspector 'Vlaicher.—No, excepting that this morning, just before I entered the court, the wit ness Smith said that she had something more to say. I told her that she had better not tell me, but state what she bad to say before the magistrates. The Chairman—ls the witness Smith here ? Inspector Whicher—Yes, Sir. The woman Smith was here interrogated, and on being sworn was allowed a seat near the bench. The Chairman—What have you to say in addi tion to your last statement ? Witness—l am certain that George Blewitt is the second man who struck the policeman Clarke. The Chairman (to the chief clerk)—Then let the depositions be read over. The clerk having done so, the witness Smith said---I also saw Airs. Blewitt and Henry Blewitt, the son, at the cottage on the night of the murder. I did not see Mrs. Blewitt afterwards. The Chairman—Who is Henry Blewitt ? Mr. Rawlings, the solicitor (to the prisoner)— Henry Blewitt is your son ? Prisoner—Yes, sir. The chief clerk then inquired if there were any other questions to be asked of the witnesses, when Inspector Whicher said there was one other ques tion he wished to put to the witness Archer, who made a statement on Monday week last that he saw the deceased (Clarke) late on the night of the mur der pass his (Archer's) house, while at the inquest held upon the body of deceased he (Archer) lead stated quite the contrary. Archer was recalled, and said he did see the de ceased on the night in question. Inspector Whicher said—l apprehended the pri soner in the parish of Dagenham, Essex, on the 29th of June last, where I charged him with being con cerned with other persons in the murder of George Clarke, when he replied, "I will go with you, fcr I am quits sure that she (Mrs. Smith) cannot say anything to hurt me." Mr. Rawlings here rose, and wished to ask Mrs. Smith why she had not informed the Court before that Mrs. Blewitt and her son were present at the cottage on the night of the murder? Mrs. Smith, in reply, said—Because I had for gotten it. The Chairman said, as they had no other evi dence, he and his colleagues would retire, and after an absence of 20 minutes they returned into court. Upon resuming his seat the Chairman said—We have determined that this important and mysterious case, which has attracted so much public notice, shall be submitted to another tribunal. The prisoner was then addressed by the Chair man, and cautioned in the usual form, when he said, " I am not guilty of it." After a few words from the Chairman, the pri soner was removed from the bar. • The whole of the witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the trial was appointed to take place at the ensuing assizes at Chelmsford. NEW Swiss RAILWAY.—Tbe railway from Geneva to Coppet has just been opened to the public. The line runs along the lake, and the points of view from one end to the other are exceedingly fine. There are three sta tions on this short line. ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF AN ENGLISHMAN AT THE MADELEINE.—Tbe Nord of Bruesele Laving in a letter from Paris, accused the Abbe Deguerry, the core of the Madeleine, of having had three Englishmen turned out of the church while quietly witnessing a funeral service, the Univers publishes a letter from the abbe, in which be says :—" . Three Englishmen were seated, not in a pro per manner, but half turned round, and with their elbows on the top of their chairs to the right of the catafalque. When we had passed near them in proceeding to receive the bor'y at the door of the church, they never rose, but kept in the same strange position. I hoped that on our return, seeing us come in procession before the body of the deceased, they would at least have takenla better position, e ven if they did not stand up, which they were called upon to do out of respect to the body and the mourners who followed it. They, however, did not move, but remained seated, with their arms thrown carelessly over the backs of their chairs. I then considered it my duty to oblige them not to leave the church, but to place themselves at a greater distance from the ceremony. I did not order them to be turned out of the church, but to bs placed beyond the chapel, opposite to which the body was about to be placed," t,. Dividend A per r.

SINGULLR CIROIIMSTANCZ.—In relation to the illness and death of Col. Campbell, of the 90th Regiment, at Lucknow, Mr , . Case, in her Journal of the Siege, men tions the following :—" A white fowl had been brought to Mrs. Inglis for sale, but she thought the price, five rupees, much too higb. However, Col. Inglis bought it. Its legs were secured, and it constantly hopped about before our door. Mrs. Inglis thought it was too bad that it should be eating our rice, and was just going to order it to be killed and cooke , i for dinner, when little Johnny comes running into the room—' Mamma, mamma, the white fowl has laid an egg !' This saved its life. Col. Campbell was very fond of an egg—it was the only thing he could take well. The white fowl from this notable day laid an egg daily till Colonel Campbell died, after which it never laid another. We have brought th. fowl away, and maybe it will some day be in England."

Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle. street, Piccadilly, Observe—opposite the York Hotel, W. By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and ex traordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist coat-peel:et, and aro of Israel-, and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. The ltuyal Exhibition, 1851. -A. valu able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a-half mile distant. They answer every pur. pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, Camp, Perspective, and Race-course Glasses, with wonderful powers. - Invaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre served and strengthened and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with those lenses of a much loss magnifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dan. gorons effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send. lag one of the glasses out at their spectacles in a letter, and ' stating the distance from the eye they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, surpassing anything of the kind that has been, or prob ably can be produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinct lyat church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the oars is entirely removed, and it afta r d e all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, alb * . marle-street. Piccadilly—Opposite the York Hotel, W. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The possibility of abandoning medicine altogether is shown by the numerous extraordinary cures, without medicine, of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, con stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, effected by Da Barry's delicious Health - restoring Revalenta Arabiea Food. The following are not tire least remarkable Clunbury, Shropshire, Dec. 22, 1856.—Gentlemen,—Being one of your greatest debtors in respect to the Revalenta Arabica, I beg to offer you my testimony in its favour. For many years I suffered severely from chronic rheumatism, which at length produced a complication of nervous diseases that made me perfectly miserable. The most approved reme dies in medicine and diet were had recourse to in vain, the faculty of digestion was brought to a complete stand-still, and death must apparently have soon resulted had not my attention been providentially drawn to the Revalenta Ara bica. The very satisfactory character of the testimonials induced me to make a trial of it ; even within a few days after I commenced using it some of the worst symptoms wore so much subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity of food and drink without any injurious consequences. This I had not been able to do for four years previously, and dur ing the last two months of this time not in any measure ex cept at the imminent risk of my life, though the greatest care was used is the selection of what was taken ; sleep had *early forsaken me, this has now been restored to me, and I am now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time, able to perform those functions of animal life which before had been nearly suspended in me. I have seen it produce equally, good effects in other cases among coins of my friends to whom I have recommended it, but to ex plain all the benefit which I have received from it would be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., JAMES Cnarusif. Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pro fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A. Ure; Dr. Shorland; Dr. Harvey; , Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager L'ountess of Castlestuart; Major Gen, Thomas King, and many other respeetatnevers sons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other means of cure had failed.
