PUBLIC SALES AND COLONIAL PRODUCE. , --.IMPORTANT YERDICT-S A.MITELS V. MYERS. This was an action to recover £l2 ss. 10d., being the difference between £3O Bs. 11d., the result of a first, and £lB 35., the result of a second sale of soma shells. Mr. Tindal Atkinson said that this was a question touch ing the businesses of the whole of the importers of foreign and colonial produce in England. In August last year plaintiff received per Asia, Walker, from Penang, 102 baskets of green snail shells, which were warehoused in the London Docks. Plaintiff selected from the bulk such shells as he required in his business, and the residue was formed into 24 baskets. Now this' lot of 24 baskets was duly in serted in a catalogue of a sale by Messrs. Corrie and Co., of Mincing-•lane, to be held Aug. 25 last. The lot was entered "On show—per Asia, Walker, from Penang-24 baskets green snail shells." Defendant bid for this lot at the sale seven farthings per shell, and this amounted to £3B Bs. 11d. Something came to his ear which induced him to repudiate his bargain, and tlia lot was again inserted in a catalogue, with the addition of 1 ‘ With all faults." Again did defendant become the purchaser, and this time at a price of £lB 3s. Id. Plaintiff now sought to recover the balance. Mr. Conga proved the two sales, and in answer to Mr, Lewis, sen., said that making assortments of produce rested entirely with the importer. The warehouseman from the Landon Docks said, in his experience he had never known shells to be sorted before by the importer. The Dock Company, under orders, did so sometimes. Mr. Lewis then said that he based his defence upon mis description and fraud. His Honour thought the last word should not be used. Mr. Lewis then went on to•say that plaintiff had sorted the shells, and, taking all the best, left defendant all the worst. When defendant saw the lot in the catalogue he took them for unassorted green snail shells. Several brokers were called, who deposed that they should understand the catalogue as notifying green snail shells unassorted. In cross-examination, t 11 said that in buying for principals they should feel it t eir duty to go and view the goods. Defendant was called, and said that the impression upon his mind upon reading the catalogue was that he was going to buy unassorted green snail shells. Cross-examined—Did not go to the docks to view the goods. Trusted to the catalogue. Never knew shells to b• assorted except on certain occasions. The catalogues were frequently issued at ten, and the sale came off at twelve, and thus there was only time for a cursory view. Mr. Atkinson then asked the jury if they would affirm the proposition laid down by defendant? "May not a man," said the learned counsel, " a merchant and importer, do as he pleases with his own goods ? If you, as gentlemen and traders say he may not, I will show you how it will work. Suppose you import a quantity of goods, and that in transit the top layers in the packages became crushed and damaged, leaving the bottom ones perfect. Well, you will not be able to remove that top layer, and will have to sell the whole bulk as damaged." Mr. Atkinson then touched upon the law of the case, and said defendant bought the goods with his eyes open, and had the article, which was worth the first price even now. TILE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. ADJOURNED MEETING.-(TIIIS DAY.) His Honour then put the law to the jury, and said it was for them to say if defendant had exercised duo caution in the purchase. If the article was worth £lO,OOO now that would make no difference in a case where mis-description existed. The question for the jury was, if defendant, un derstanding, "On show—per Asia, Walker, from Penang —24 baskets green snail-shells," to mean unasserted shells, was justified in buying under that impression, and in re pudiating the bargain when he discovered they were assorted. The adjourned meeting of the proprietors in the Great Ship Company was held this afternoon at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report of the scrutineers, ap pointed to take the votes at the last meeting on Mr. Hawes's amendment to the report of the directors. The directors' report, it will be remembered, contained the resignation of the directors, but the amendment moved was to the effect that before such resignation be accepted a committee of investigation be appointed. At one o'clock Mr. Campbell, the chairman of the board of directors, entered the room, and called upon the Secre tary to state the result of the ballot, which was as follows : The jury found for plaintiff. His Honour allowed costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY. Fort. THE AMENDMENT --Number of shareholders, 40; number of shares, 42,822; number of votes, 1,707.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. Sa.v.sou ASSAULTS ON A PARLIAMENTARY AGIINT AND OTHERS.—John Marjory, a tall powerful-looking man, a discharged soldier from India, was charged before Mr. Beadon with the following savage assaults : Mr. John Curling, 18, Abing,don-street East, a Parlia mentary agent, said that a little before six the previous evening he was in one of the Great IVestera omnibuses, having got in at Holborn. Three men were also inside, of whom the prisoner was one, and it was with difficulty he (complainant) could keep his seat owing to the men rolling about, they being evidently all very drunk. lle complained to the conductor, but as they were going to get out at the Regent-circus, he thought it better to remain quiet. Arrived at the Regent-circus, Oxford-street, he beckoned to a constable, as he wished to post a letter, and the pri soner and another got up is get out, and as they were doing so he said to the other man, who rolled against him, that the next time he got in an omnibus it was to be hoped he would be sober. The prisoner then used the grossest language towards him, and said he would knock his " head off," and followed it up by giving him a violent blow in the eye and another on tho side, and not satisfied with this, seized him by the shoulder and dug his knee into his stomach with all the ftree the confined space of the omnibus would allow. The prisoner was then pulled out of the omnibus, and on his (Mr. Curling) getting out he (prisoner) again attacked him and others. There were ladies in the omnibus at the time, and they were greatly frightened at the prisoner's conduct. The prisoner said he was totally drunk. Sergeant Glass said there was another person who had been assaulted, and Mr, Beadon ordered the person to be sworn. Robert Hodgson, 10, Bentinck-street, messenger, said he was called to assist the constable, 90 C, and the prisoner kicked him several times, once in a delicate part, and from which ho still suffered very great pain, and was Very un well. Mr. Curling said the prisoner said ho had been in India and engaged in battles, and had been wounded, and he thought perhaps that might have some effect on his con duct, as he was so very violent. Sergeant Glass said the prisoner was a discharged soldier from India, and it took five or six to hold him down. He also attempted to cut his throat at the station. _ _ Mr. Beadon having animadverted on the prisoner's con duct, fined him Z 5, or two months' imprisonment. Mr. Curling said he thought it very improper of the con ductor to let such people into the omnibus. Mr. Beadon said a communication should be made to the proprietors. It was reprehensible of a conductor to have let the man into the omnibus at all. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICE-CONSTABLES. —Mary Ann Brown, a married woman, aged 27, who stated that she was the wife of a costermonger, and residing at 109, Royal Mint-street (alias Rosemary-lane), applied to Mr. Yardley for summonses against two police-constables named John Brown, 180 H, and Alfred Clements, 210 H, for committing a violent assault upon her, dragging her from her house and falsely imprisoning her on the morning of the Bth inst. A police-sheet containing the charge of assault pre ferred by Brown on the 9th instant was put before the magistrate. The woman was charged with assault ing Brown while in the execution of his duty, at half past four o'clock on the morning of the Bth instant. Mr. Selfe, after a long investigation, came to the conclusion that Brown had acted most improperly, that ho had assaulted the woman, and that he ought to be reported to the Commissioners. The magistrate at the same time said that he had long distrusted Brown, and was not pleased with his conduct on other occasions, lie hoped the Com missioners would do their duty. Mr. Yardley said his colleague had written upon the police sheet before him—" I think Brown, 188 H, unworthy of belief, and that his conduct has been most improper." Inspector Dendy, of the H division, said that the Com • missioners had investigated the case. The complainant said that the two police constables came to her house, charged her with robbing a man, and struck her. In answer to a question; the witness said both constables struck her. Mr. Yardley said he would grant separate summonses against tho two policemen. He recollected investigating another and very serious complaint against Brown. He dismissed it, but h 9 was by no means satisfied with his con duct. He only dismissed tho case for want of evidence, or rather owing to the inconclusive nature of the evidence. The case against the two constables would, he was happy to say, be heard by a magistrate who had no prejudices—who had not prejudged the matter. Mr. Livingstone, the chief usher—lt is the earnest wish of your colleague, Mr. Selfo, that you should hear the case. Mr. Yardley —Very well, I don't mind. Bring all the light you can to the case on both sides, Mr. Dendy. Inspector Dendy--I will, sir. Mr. J. Orrell Lever, M.P. for Galway, accompa nied by Mr. O'Beirne and other gentlemen, paid a length ened visit to the Groat Eastern last Saturday, and minutely inspected the vessel throughout. There are several duplicate titles in the British Peerage, e.g., there is a Duke of Devonshire and an Earl of Devon, there is a Lord Hastings and a Marquis of Hastings, there is a Lord Gifford at 'd an Earl of Gifford, there is a Lord Downe and a Lord Downes, there is an Earl of Winton and a Marquis of Winchester, there is a Lord Bruce and an Earl Bruce, a Lord Strafford and a Marquis of Stafford, an Earl of Strafford, and a Lord Stafford (Viscount Enfield), an Earl Fortescue and a Lord Fortescue (Viscount Ebrington), two Lords Stewart, two Lords Stuart, a Lord Sudeley and a Lord Sudley, a Duke of Hamilton and a Lord Hamilton; an Earl of Morton and a Lord Moreten, a Lord Ponsonby and a Lord Ponsonby of Imokilly, a Lord Forbes of Scot land and a Viscount Forbes of Ireland, an Earl Grey and a Lord Gray; a Lord Monteaglo and a Lord Mounteagle, and until very recently there was a Lord Holland as well as a Lord Lovell and Holland, and an Earl Talbot as well as a Lord Talbot de Malahide. There is still a Lord Stanley of Bickerstaffe and a Lord Stanley of Alderley ; and if Mr. Strops, of Danby, should succeed this year in establishing his claim to that ancient title, there will be two rival Earls of Wiltshire. TOTAL. No's Ayes Majority againrt the amendment.. 1,048 The result was received with loud cheers. Tho SECRRT4RIC then again read the report of the direc tors, which the chairman put to the meeting and declared it carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were advised that it was absolutely necessary that auditors for the ensuing year be elected. Mr. T. G. TAYLOR then moved a resolution to the effect, that a committee of investigation should be appointed, stating that he should reserve the names for a second reso lution. The first duty of tho committee would be to ascer tain how it was that the directors made a contract with Mr. Scott Russell, in defiance of the protest of Mr. Brunel ; why the ship was taken to Weymouth, and afterwards to Holyhead ; and to: ascertain whether the movements were expedient ; also to inquire into accounts and expenditure, the system pursued by the direc tors in distributing the shares, and the past and present management of the company. He therefore concluded by moving his amendment, which was as follows : " That a committee of investigation, composed of seven members of the company, be appointed to investigate the past and pre.,ent management of the company, the sastrous condition of the affairs of which this meeting bas so much reason to deplore ; that such committee have access to all books, papers, and documents of the company, and be at liberty to examine all the officers of the company, and any other persons whom they may think proper; and that such committee report the result of their investigation, with their own suggestions as to the future management to this meeting, which at its rising stood adjourned until the 7th of February." Mr. PYPINCII seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. TAYLOR then named the following gentlemen as part of his committee—the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Joseph Rodney Croskey, Mr. Goetz, Mr. G. R. Taylor, and Captain Bourne. Mr. Magnus, a director, seconded the nomination. Mr. STARLING objected to the gentlemen named. He moved that the following gentlemen be selected, viz.—Mr Hope, Mr. Baker, Mr. Field, Mr. W. Hawes, and Alder. man Hodgson. Mr. SMITH seconded Mr. Starling's selection of names. Mr. FIELD objected to serve on the committee, but he trusted that whoever might be appointed, that no person supposed to be biassed in favour of the chartering of the vessels to any person or body of capitalists would be selected. The names of Mr. Fothergill Cook. Mr. M'Kenzie, and Mr. W. H. Smith, jun., were mentioned as gentlemen well calculated to serve on the proposed committee. Mr. MAGNUS thought that as both parties in the room desired good to result, a committee acceptable to all present might be selected from the two lists proposed. After a long discussion, the following gentlemen were ultimately agreed to as the committee of investigation, viz.:—Mr. Nichols^n, Mr. Croskey, Mr. Goetz, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hope, Mr. Baker, and Alderman Hodson— three to be a quorum. It was further resolved, that after the reception of the report of the committee of investigation a special general meeting of the proprietors should be called for the election of directors. The meeting then adjourned till the 7th of Fobruary. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTRRD.kT. The betting this afternoon was almost at a stand still, and, notwithstanding a long list of quotations, it is compiled chiefly from offers, rather than actual transactions. For the Derby 8 to 1 was taken once or twice about Umpire, but those odds were again offered at the close of business. 1,100 to 100 was taken to £lOO in one bet about Thormanby, and at these odds he was sup ported frequently in other quarters. Tho only other animal really backed was Lanchester, who found many friends at 50 to 1. For the Two Thousand 4to 1 was taken freely about The Wizard, while 9 to 2 was offered against Buc caneer ; 7 to 1 was taken and offered about Lupullus.

These chases are now fixed for the Sth and 9th of Feb ruary. The conditions of the Metropolitan Handicap have been altered ; the added money has been reduced from £2OO to £lOO, but the entrance fee has also been reduced from 5 sovs. each to 3 sovs. Twelve names have already been en rolled among the list of subscribers. The stakes will close on the 24th of January, and it is intimated that those owners who wish the horses already entered to remain in must express their intentions to the clerk of the course by Thursday next ; of course, those who have already sent their entrance fee of £5 will have their money returned. The Railway Plate, to which the Great Western Railway Com pany liberally adds £3O, has eight nominations, and for the Slough Plate there are 20 subscribers. THE CONTEST FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD. —THE " BENICIA Boy."—Mr. J. C. Heenan, the Ameri can who is to contest the championship of the world with Tom Sayers, reached Liverpool at five o'clock yesterday morning, in the royal mail steam-ship Asia, from New York. Mr. Heenan, on landing from the steamer, was met by several of the elite of the "fancy," including numerous admirers—chiefly the American captains visiting the port of Liverpool. In appearance the Yankee boxer presents a very gentlemanly aspect. His five is oval, and wears the expression of a confident man, the eye is quick and piercing, his nose a fine aquiline. The head, unlike the generality of our prizefighters, is comparatively small. Heenan, who appears to be a man of about 26 years of age, is close on 6 feet 2 inches in height, was dressed, on landing, in a large overall coat, trimmed with a short black kind of fur on the collar and wrists. Mr. Aaron Jones, we believe, ac companied Heenan from America ; and as the fight takes place on the 14th of April, the latter will be under Mr. Jones's care till that time. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1860.

The Emperor of the French has one great ad vantage, for which Job, in the depth of his adver sity, sighed in vain—all his enemies are writing books. More than this. Job, no doubt, when he wished that his enemy should write a book, men tally included in his wish that the book which his enemy should write might be a bad book or a very unsatisfactory book • and Napoleon, with an uniformity of good &tune, is indulged even in this. The books which declare the hostility of the Papacy to the French Emperor are exceedingly bad books • so 'bad that, if they came forth anonymously, we might suspect them to be writ ten by the Emperor's own order. In one of our colonies tbero was, not very many years ago, a Governor, who found his official journal carry with it so little interest that he hit upon the expedient of starting an opposition paper to give liveliness and controversy to his colony, and to form a vent through which the sulky discontent of his people might explode. He wrote his opposi tion paper himself, but wrote it so well that he found he was writing himself down, and was obliged to hand over the task of abusing himself to the writers of the Government Gazette. Napoleon has evidently not committed this blunder. He has left the work of attacking him to be done by those who may think themselves interested in doing so; but, if he would obtain the full advantage to be derived from their zeal, he could not do better than encou rage the circulation of their brochures by every means which his Imperial facilities afford. We thought we had seen as weak a State paper as could be put forward when we drew attention to the Ul tramontanism which came forth under the name of Mr. Bowyer, but :M. Villemain, " Membre de l'lnstitut," comes forward with a generous emula tion to challenge the pre-eininence of incapacity, and to link the fortunes of the Orleans family with the cause of the Pope. "La France, ?Empire, et la Papaute—Question do _Urea Public ;" such is the title of Villemain's p4inplalet. Its object seems to be twofold—histo rical and judicial. Aa_u historian, M. Villemain ungritikes to prove that the Empire has alwaYs been hostile to the Papacy, and that the Popes, although driven forth from Rome in ignominy, have always returned in glory and power. As a jurist, M. Villemain insists that the title ofthe Pope to his dominions is as good as that of any reigning Sove reign in Europe, and that it is beyond the authority Of any Congress to dispossess him of any part of his dominions. The historian has transcribed his common-place book to show how ill Napo leon I. treated Pius VII.; betraying, however, as he proceeds, the secret that Pius VII. did not con-- sider himself so ill-used, but, on the contrary, de clared that he thought it a greater merit to have restored religion to France than to restore a pro vince to the Holy See. M. Villemain quotes what the Bishops said in the Council of Paris in 1811, and forces our assent to the historical fact that the same rabid nonsense was talked by those old gentlemen in 1811 as is talked by their successors in 1860, and amid the same universal inatten tion. The conclusion, we suppose, is, that as the Empire is Anti - Papistical, the Orleans dynasty is Pro-Papistical, and that the Ultra montane party, if it be in want of a representa tive, may range itself with confidence round M. Villemain's friends. So much for the historian. The jurist shows that no Congress has ever under taken to deprive a Sovereign of his territories; that even in the eyes of Voltaire the title of the Pope to his territories was a good title by prescrip tion ; that the Congresses of Westphalia, Aix-la- Chapelle, Utrecht, and Nimeguen were tribunals of accommodation, and not Courts for the deposition of Sovereigns. M. Villemain says nothing of the Congress of Vienna, nor of the Sovereign Princes v*ho were there mediatised ; nor of the awkward fact of the deprivation of the Holy See, at that very Congress, of a portion of this very Romagna, at the demand of Austria and under the protest of the Pope. If we are dealing with public law, there is nothing like a precedent, and no precedent ever could be more apt than the precedent of 1815, which is so appositely stated in our Paris correspondence of-this day. In truth, however, everything which M. Villemain asserts or assumes may be at once granted, and yet the question which he pretends to discuss will re main precisely where it was. We will admit, if he so desire it, that all the Popes who ever were driven out of Rome came back to Rome in triumph, and died there in sanctity. We will generously, and at the expense of history, throw in, if he please, all the Popes who ever lived at Avignon and all the Anti-Popes, utterly ignoring the deeds of Frederick Barbarossa and the fate of all his contemporaries. All we say in answer is; that there is not the least intention on the part of Napoleon 111. to drive out Pio IX. with force and violence from Rome. On the contrary, Napoleon has by violence led the Pope back there, and has by force kept him there. So as to the Congress. We will, if M. Villemain so please, grant that the great European Powers have no right to join together to dethrone a Sove reign or to divide his kingdom, or to take from him anything that he has. We will go further than this, and allow, for the sake of argument— and with' various Papal bulls and with Poland and the Congress of Vienna in full recollection—that such things have never been done. We will confess that it would be as the Austrians say— "robbery." But we answer that the Congress which England, Prussia, France, and Russia were prepared to attend never proposed any such an object. The Congress proposed to force no one,to despoil no one, to rob no one. It proposed to itself simply to recognise a state of things found in netzal existence and in strong organisation. France and England recognise the Romagna just as England recognised the French Republic and the Empire of France ; just as France recognised the independence of the United States ; just as all Europe recognised the kingdom of Greece and the kingdom of Belgium; just as all theworld have recognised the independence of the revolted colonies of Spain. This weak and illo gical reasoner is obliged to imagine a case against which to argue. He assumes that the Emperor is scourging the Pope out of Rome, and is tearing from him part of his dominions. The Emperor is doing nothing of the sort, and, when this noto rious truth is once stated, the pamphlet of M. Villemain becomes a dull impertinence—a mass of pedantry which has not even the p oor merit of being apposite to the subject in han d. Instead of the Emperor chasing out this poor martyr Pope he is protecting him against others who would thus chase him out—instead of tearing him from his dominions he is not even restraining' him from bringing scandal upon the Christian name by hir ing foreign cut-throats to murder Italian citizens ; he is only preventing foreign civilised nations from assisting in such butcheries. The question has been —has the Pope alone of all mankind "a right divine to govern wrong," and are the inhabitants of the States of the Church alone of all mankind so miserable as to be born to that exceptional thraldom ? The Pope claims this right, and calls on all nations to do the necessary hangings, shoot ings, and transportings in order to uiaintaim him in its exercise. The Emperor refuses to continue to do this work himself or to give way and let others do it. We cannot compliment the Pope upon his new champion, or congratulate him on his new allies.—Times.

The American papers received per Asia announce the death of Dr. Edman, surgeon of the English mail steamer Solent, of yellow fever. Among the hostile parties now contending in Africa there are three Sabbaths celebrated in each week. The Sabbath of the Moors is en Friday, the Sabbath of the very few Jews who fight in their ranks, as irregulars or settlers in the country, for their hearths and homes, is on Saturday ; while the Sabbath of the Roman Catholic Spa niards is, like our own, on Sunday. The mercantile advices from Paris yesterday state that, although the liberal views of the Emperor would excite great hostility among the monopolist classes, there can be no question as to the good impression that will be I produced through the country at large. The momentary effect of the affair on the Bourse was less certain, because the abolition of the Sinking Fund is against the Ratites, and the reduction or remova of the tolls of canals will pro mote their competition with the railways. From the confi dence that would be created in the state of the relations with England, the belief is, however, that all descriptions of securities will gain new firmness.

THE CIRCASSIANS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.—The Circassian immigration continues so steadily that it is no longer necessary to note the arrival of each particular ship load of these pitiable-looking strangers. About 18,000 of them have already reached the Turkish capital, and of these the two last cargoes have been housed at Scutari, the khans and other available buildings in Stamboul being full. Notwithstanding the suddenness with which the immigra tion has set in, the Porte has provided warm and healthy lodging for the whole gratis, and gives to each of them besides, a daily ration o f 2 o k es o f b rea d an d 3 piastres in money. It would be churlish to withhold from the Go vernment the praise which such generous hospitality so well deserves.—Zevant Iterate; Jan. 4. 4 1
