CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have shown more anima tion. The late advarice in sugars have been fully maintained, and the fine qualities of coffee have realised' high prices. Tea has been inactive, but rice, fruit, and apices have been dealt in: to a fair extent at fully late rates. Saltpetre has' showed a slight reaction after the late advance, the decline amounting to about is. per cwt. The public sales of colonial which commenced on the Ist inst., will close to ditY. The attendance of home buyers has been numerous, and the rates established at the com mencement of the series have been fully supported. Tallow continues dull, and prices have shown little variation of importance either for consumption or on speculative account. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with rather more activity, and 8,000 bales were disposed of, at about previous rates. In the Railway Share Market a moderate amount of business was transacted, and prices ex hibited no important variation. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £9,000, is due to-day on the Cork' and. Kinsale Junction Rail vay shares. The inquiry for discount accommodation is still exceedingly active, and continued firmness is ex hibited in the rates at which bills are negotiated. Owing to the enhanced quotations current in the Open market, there is a pressure of business at the /lank of England, where a further important addi tion has no doubt been made to the stock of " Other Securities." The market for Public Securities to-day has pre sented a quiet appearance, and very little altera tion has taken place in prices, Consols being 941 I for money, and 948 I for. account ; sales, however, preponderate, and the tendency of values is con sequently unfavourable.

The bill is expected to be in the hands of the public in the course of a few days. The London-Bankers have resolved, in compli luxe with the general wish of the mercantile body, to close O ri Saturdays at three o'clock instead of four.

LAW INTELLIGEN CL'.—('Phis Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Btfore the Lords Justices.) NINE CAUSES-LODGE V. PRICHARD, AND OTHER CAUSES. These were administration suits under the will of the late Adam Lodge, Esq., rope maker, Liverpool, who died in 1837. The testator by his will devised all his real estate in Carmarthenshire and Liverpool to his first and second sons, subject to payment of certain mortgages, and be queathed his personal estate and business to trustees for payment of his debts. His personal estate was found not sufficient to pay his debts, and several questions were raised between his sons, widow, and trustees, whether his real estate was , liable to pay his debts. Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and Lord Justice Turner, after referring very minutely to the claims of the several parties in these respec tive suits, and objections urged by them against being en cumbered with the payment of the testator's debts, came to the conclusion that the testator's real estate was primarilly liable for payment of his debts, and that his personal estate was secondarily liable, and declared accord ingly. Their lordships directed the executors to take an account of the debts, assets, and interest of the testator, and suggested that the real property might be sold first to pay off the mortgages and debts. Their lordships discharged the order of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and substituted one order to that effect in all these causes. Costs of the appeal to be costs in the cause. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Roinilly.) STURGIS T. MOORE.-JUDGMENT. The contention in this suit was whether the plaintiff, as official assignee of the bankrupt, became entitled to one fourth, or one -twelfth part of an estate tail to which the bankrupt succeeded after his bankruptcy in 1820. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that under the Bankrupt Act, 1814, an estate tail would have vested in the assignees, but in the Bankrupt Act of Ist George IV. that Act was repealed, and the words " tail estate " was omitted, and therefore the estate tail succeeded to by the bankrupt did not vest in the official assignee under the bankruptcy. His Honour said ho would make a declaration in favour of Mr. Prichard, to whom the bankrupt had made an assigna tion of his interest in the estate tail before his death. His Honour allowed costs of the motion, and Will mention the case on minutes on Monday. { INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. The following telegram has been received at Mt Reuter's office : SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.

HARVEY. This was an action to recover damages for an assault alleged to have been committed Under very novel and pe culiar circumstances. Plaintiff is a widow, having the care of a set of chambers, and defendant is a " gentleman." One of the parties in the chambers is a person named Lang dale, and plaintiff said she had his orders to give defendant his key whenever Mr. Harvey asked for it. One afternoon plaintiff had a young friend stopping with her for the day, and defendant coming in asked for Mr. Langdale's key. He further requested that some beer should be fetched. Plaintiff's friend went for the beer, but upon her return with it expressed a• disinclination to take it into the room of a stranger. Upost this plaintiff said she would take it in herself. Accordingly she went into thereon] and placed the beer upon a table ; turning to go, " Oh." said Mr. Harvey, " You're not going like that:" " Indeed I am," replied plaintiff; " I am going to a place of amusement to-night." (Laughter.) "If that is so," returned Mr. Harvey, " I will be your beau." " Not if I know it," retorted the lady. " I love you," said Mr. Harvey. Whereupon Mrs. God frey said, " Sir, I suppose you' know lam a widow." Mr. Harvey then declared that he had fallen in love with her the first time he came to the chambers. (During the whole of this story the court rang with laughter.) His Honour—l am not trying a case of breach of pro mice of marriage. What is the assault Plaintiff—He then seized me and behaved very rudely. He endeavoured to exilose himself to me. His Honour—Then you ought to have indicted him. Plaintiff—l was unable to do my duties for several days. His Honour—Did you call in a surgeon ? Plaintiff—No. Defendant was very rude. He pushed himself so strongly against my windpipe that I was nearly choked, and could not call out ; he pinched my arms so that they were painful for several days afterwards. His Honour—And you did not call in a surgeon? Plaintiff—No. Evidence was then given that the defendant still, occa sionally, visited Mr. Langdale, and his Honour said he would give plaintiff what, perhaps, she might have obtained from a jury—damages, 40s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —( This Day.) THAMES. F,xTrt.kOnDINA EY CTIKIIGE OP E3IIIEZZLEMENT. Henry Webb, a middle-aged loan, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously embezzling two sums of money, one of £4O the ether of £27, he had received for and on account of Thomas Dugard. Mr. CharleS Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The prosecutor said he was a merchant residing in Pen tonville-road, and was, in the practice of shipping goods for Australia. He was also largely engaged in the bone cut ting and tallow melting trades, and had factories in Cum berland-street, Shoreditch, and Now-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner s% as in hie service at a salary of £2 per week, and his duty was to obtain orders, receive money of cus tomers, and to account for the same daily, or two or three times per week. lie complained that, a few days since, the prisoner received £37 of a Mr. Stevens, and had only account6d for .ClO of it, and that he had also received £4O of a Mr. Knight, with whom he (Mr. Dugard) did business, and had not accounted for any part of it. The witness then detailed the transactions with Mr. Stevens and Mr. Knight, the various excuses made by the prisoner, and numerous interviews with him. The prisoner informed him that Mr. Knight disputed the transaction and the quality of the goods supplied, and would not pay for them. The prisoner, however, had previously received the money. Mr. Young subjected the prosecutor to a long cross examination. Mr. Dugard said he first saw the prisoner owing to an advertisement asking for an advance of money to maintain a business. At the first interview with the prisoner it was agreed that he (Mr. Dugard) was to ad vance money and the prisoner labour, and they were to share the profits between them. At Christmas last he and the prisoner balanced accounts, and he found the prisoner ' had overdrawn very considerably, and he told him that he would have nothing further to do with tho partnership, and that he would allow the prisoner a salary in future. He took a bill of sale on the prisoner's goods. It was an ab solute bill of sale for money ow i ng to him by the prisoner, who became insolvent. Mr. Yardley—Was any deed of partnership ever drawn up between you and the prisoner ? Mr. Dugard—None at all, sir ; it was a verbal agreement. When I discontinued the partnership I agreed to allow the prisoner £2 per week to act as my foreman, and to give him more at my option when the business increased. In further cross-examination by Mr. Young, the prose cutor said that when he last asked for the money which he had ascertained had been paid by Mr: Knight and Mr. Stevens, the prisoner said, " No, I will keep this. lam tired of things as they are." Ile understood by that that the prisoner meant that he was tired of receiving a salary. The balance of accounts between them had never been against witness, but always in his favour. Mr. Yardley said if the prisoner had acted exclusively as the prosecutor's servant, and had received the two sums and kept them, it would amount to embezzlement. The prisoner was remanded on bail until Monday next. 21118 DAY'S 31-411KBTAS. HAY MARKETS. SMITITFIri.D.—Meadow hay, £2 10; to £4 108 ; clover £4 Os to £5 5s ; and straw. 6 4 to £1 10s per load .

ELECTION OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA FOR THE TOWN OF VICTORIA.— Saturday morning, at an early hour, the vicinity of the police court and the sheriff's office, where the polling booths had been placed, was already alive with anxious voters, eager for the expected struggle. For some hours the friends of Mr. Cary and Mr. Franklin continued to arrive, and at 11 o'clock the state of the poll was as follows : Cary, 37; Franklin, 33 ; De Cosmos, 3. At two the num bers were—Cary, 88 ; De Cosmos, 73; Franklin, 71. Be tween two and three o'clock the Attorney-General conti nued steadily to increase his numbers, when it became no longer doubtful who would be at the head of the poll. At four p.m. the sheriff notified that the poll had closed, and announced from the hustings that Mr. George IL Cary, Attorney-General, and Mr. S. Franklin, had been duly elected as members to serve in parliament for the town of Victoria. The numbers were—Cary, 137; Franklin, 106 ; De Cosmos, 91. Mr. Cary then came forward, and in a straightfoward, manly speech, thanked the electors for pla cing him in his then proud position • and he begged of all parties to forget and forgive any strife or ill-feeling that had arisen or might arise out of the present election, and as sured the electors that he would act honestly and energe tically in the advancement of the welfare of the colony and of the town of Victoria. Mr. Franklin also thanked the electors, and, with a vote of thanks to the sheriff and the returning officer, and three cheers for Mr. De Cosmos, the defeated candidate, which were warmly and heartily given, the proceedings torniivated.—New Westminster Times (Co lumbia).

We understand that five girls have been apprenticed to Miss Faithfull by the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, find that there is room for six others.

Victor Emmanuel, itaacceptingthe allegiance of the inhabitants of Parma, Modena, and the Romagna, and: declaring•that he will be proud to c all them "my people," admits them to participa tion in the ordered .and stable liberty of. a constitu tional State, and - Pledges his power for their pro tection. The admis,ion of Tusaeny to the same privileges will not long be delayed, and Italian independence will then be placed on a firmer basis than its best friends lately dared hops. The astonishing unanimity of the people of Central Italy which the late elections have de veloped is a great historical fact, and Must satisfr even those Courts which from their history and traditions are least disposed to recognise a popu lar vote as a source of legal right, that to respect the desires of the population of Tuscany and the /Emilian Provinces for annexation to Pied mont is the way to secure the trueat, safest, and most permanent solution of the difficulties which have so long distracted Italy and troubled her neigh bours. Circumstances ere conceivable.- in which tar: . imam or intrigue might secure a large relative Majority at the electoral urn.; but 'ion power could have compelled the vast body _of a population of four millions to vote against its will and to wits on one side. The Governments of Central Italy have no power but that which they derive from the 'people, , yet at their call the , male citizens have come forward as one man to vote for King Victor Emmanuel. To please the Emperor Of the French . universal suffrage was appealed to, when in Romagna, Modena, and Parma, 427,000 out of 526,000 in scribe(' electors gave their votea, and of these 426,000 voted for annexation to Sar dinia and 726 for a separate kingdom. In Tuscany, where 386,000 persons were inscribed as electors, 326,000 voted for annexation, and only 14,000 for a separate kingdem. Even .the Court of Vienna appears to have been impressed with this great demonstration, for upon receiving an official intima tion that the troops of France were about to be withdrawn . from Lombardy, joined with the ex pression of a hope that Austria would continue to abstain from intervening beyond her frontier, Count Rechberg has formally replied that his Government has no inclination to re-commence a war which he adds, Would soon become European. Neither can Cardinal Antonelli help bearing his tri bute to the po,Yer of the *pulse which has carried the people of Italy over to Victor Em manuel. This Prince of the Church, in his newest despatch to M. Thouveuel, accuses France of frightening the Astrians out of the Roman States, 'and declares that all the mischief , has been done in Romagna by a small party, aided by "the malcon tents, a class of persons to be found in all countries.* But even if the recent vote had not arithmetically demonstrated that the malcontents are at least 80 per cent..of the adult male population, and left it. morally certain that they bear a much larger pro portion to the i n diff erent an d t h e l oya l , we have the corroborative evidence of a Minister of the Pope who, as we lately saw, when asked by the Austrians to give the names of the disaffected petsonsin Ro magna. replied that the people were ",all disaf fected." Cardinal Antonelli is not so foolish as to repeat the absurd stories whichare palmed upon ig norant audiences in Ireland about the contentment of the. Pope's subjects with their Government. lie lays down flatly the proposition that the Government is good because it is from heaven, whatever wretched taxpayers may thing about it, and thence argues that reforms and concessions arc, as far as the Pope is concerned, Matters of paternal grace and indulgence. The first grand aim of a Catholic GON eminent should be the maintenance of the patrimony of the Church in all its integrity. "The past," he says, " offers several reminiscences which may prepare the' way to this great object." It, certainly does. Cardinal Antonelli takes care not to leave us in. doubt as to his meaning. He de mands"effieacieussuccours"—in other words, foreign Occupation. That perennial curse of Italy, which the wisest and best men of all' countries have de plore& which EUrope condemned at Paris in 1856, and which diplomacy is at last hoping to bring to an end, the Cardinal desires to inflict on the people among whom he had his birth, but for whom he has no feelings' of fraternity. To say that the foreign occupation alone can uphold the temporal power of the Pope is not only to confirm the votes of the people, but to justify them. The Romagnols are now rejoicing, because they are henceforward to live under the protection of law and in the enjoyment. of liberty. Is their joy heightened or moderated as they remember the lot from which they had been delivered ? During seven years of Austrian occu pation there were 190 capital executions at Bologna, and the more people were shot the more crime in : - creased and:the security of life and property was diminished. On the morning of March 17, 1853, Domenico Malagatti, a young surgeon of Fer rara: Giacomo Surri, a private gentleman ;' and Luigi Parmeggiani, an innkeeper of, the ,same town, charged with attempting to overthrow the temporal soldiers of the. Pape. ‘r.,4 bad- out by Austrian soldiers, blindfolded, forced upon their knees, and shot. These unfortunate persons, and nine others were 'incarcerated in, the citadel of Ferrara for seven or eight months. The examin ing judge was an Austrian Captain of llussars. In the absence of proof this military judge had recourse to the torture of the accused. They were kept without food till nature was on the point of giving way; they were chained in the form of hoops ; they were compelled to witness each other's misery; they were constantly told that a firing party was waiting for them, and that they were about to be led out to immediate execution. Each was told in turn that his com panion had confessed, and that he might as well make a clean breast of it ; or, that if he did not confess, his companions would instantly be put to the direst torture. The examinations were written down in German, of which the accused did not understand one word, and they were com pelled to affix their signatures to depositions writ ten in characters of which they knew not the sig nificance. For ten years the Holy Father permitted the Austrians to torment his people in the Ariatic pro vinces of his States ; while, to assist them, Cardinal Antonelli published an edict, dated 30th July, 1855, restoring as a punishment the use of the chevalet— an instrument of torture used by Pagan Emperors against the early Christians. This for centuries has been the statesmanship of Papal Rome, to madden people into rebellion and then to call in the foreigner to shoot them down. It is said that for accepting the glad allegiance of a pro vince which the Roman Government has never been able either to govern or protect, Victor Emmanuel is about to be formally and nominally excommunicated by the Pope. We seriously doubt the statement. We believe the Court of Rome has long been convinz..ed of the inexpediency of employing this rusty mediseval engine of spin tual despotism. If, however, the most romantic of Pontiffs, dwelling too much on the personal bear ings of the annexation, should see in the beneficent act of the King an enormity of guilt calling for some signal and extraordinary mark of St. Peter's displeasure, and should pronounce the greater ex communication against Victor Emmanuel, the Pope would damage only his own Chureh, by identifying it more closely with all that is hideous and inhu man in his Government ; while the King would gain one more title to the gratitude of those who from henceforth he will call his people.---Daily News. THE 31 . OBIT .4 LIT Y ON BOARD' THE GREAT TASMANIA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. To-day the inquiry commenced before the borough coroner into the cause of the great mor tality and sickne ss amongst the discharged soldiers of the Europe an reg i ments, l ate i n the service of the East India Company whilst on board the Great Tasmania, on their passage home from India. There is every indication of the inquiry being made most searching, but as far as it has gone to-day, the likelihood is that a pretty prevalent opinion, entertained here during the past two daYs, will be confirmed. No person doubted, from the statements that obtained currency after the arrival of the Great Tasmania, that an inquiry into the allegations made by a portion of the men should be entered upon; but many—those who were particu lar in their mode of questioning the soldiers— came to the conclusion that a properly conducted investigation would show that the charges against the authorities were greatly exaggerated, and that most of the men were predisposed, from their style of living prior to their embarkation, to sickness. The evidence adduced to-day showed that a por tion of the provisions was bad ; but at the same time it was also proved that the seamen of the ship partook of the same sort of food as the soldiers, and only one of them had died. With regard to hammocks, it was given in eve dence that every man on going on board had a hammock and blanket given him ; that a regular inspection of hammocks and clothing was made, and then it was found that the number, Nas decreas ing —that a cleanly man was sure to have his good hammock taken, and one fit only to be thrown over board left in its place. The inquiry will be daily continued until every allegation has receive d a searching investigation. An ancient usage, which dates from the time of Henry Iti.—that of giving agricultural Sundaylectureson of after mass—has latel y been revived in some communes Franco, under Government patronage, , COST AND FROZEN TO 7)E ATLI ON _AN !zi.,II".ERICAN I'll,lll ~- (limn the -Nei' 75te;•,..P.1c1 Ji:N. 14.)

It wits aeeurdingly arranged that. they shoald sena him to . . Georgetown, a newly-formed-station at the•morAl of the Buffalo-River, some 260 . miles from here, and that Governor :Mactavish should despatch a party 'thither to bring him on to the'settlement. The en gineer, it would seem, had arrived at Georgetown somewhat sooner than the date flied upon, and having waited there a few days he grew impatient the delay, and requested to be sent on. Mr. Mackenzie, the young gentleman in charge of the station, delayed a while longer, and then started with, two others, besides the engineer, making the grave mistake of taking mules instead of dogs. None of them. had travelled the route before, and, or c o urse, toii:d pa,t;e.s a correct knowledge of • the road or distance?. Mt. Mackenzie said- it was five or six days' journey, and provided suppliett accordingly. On Friday, December 23, they started, going eastward, in o , der to fall in with the trail from Crow Wing. • They, had not been out longer than two or three days when the mules began 'to give up." They then telt that they could not reach their destination in the time anticipated ; and; what was worse, that their provisions would Kill them. A feedin g of incipient despair crept over titeM. Here they were helpless, in the heart of a vast„ l dreary, unknown prairie, in a cold week of the bleak month of December, fir beyond the reach or all sympathy or .aid, , «ith starvati o n staring them in the face ; their condition wes one of despe ration. On ThuaAav, the 29,h, Mr. Mackenzie resolved to start ahead and tr 3, by a hold effort, to reach Pembina, and send back - succour to his companions. The engineer accompanied hits.' . Tto day was cold and stormy, end a bitter blast from the north drifted, the snow :u their, faces and drove them back. They all camped together that night near Pine River, about 50 miles from. Pem bina. In the morning the brave hetnted Mackenzie started again —started never to return, and, alas! never to retch his destination, This time he was alone. 'He seemed to have had a presentiment that he would not get through, end he made David Tait, the imam who had been with him at George town, a present of a gun, in case that he had no further need of it. He wore but one Hain coat, and was lightly clad throughout, wishing to be as little burdened with clothes as possible, as he intended to run most of the way. A bit of pemican, the size of his fist, was all the food the party could supply. He put • that into his pocket, provided himself with matches, and shook hands once more. It was a last, sad farewell. Had he reached Peinhina in due time his companions would havereceived assistance on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Sunday morning passed, however, and Sunday night, too, without bringing any help. Their worst forebod ings were now confirmed, and the feelirg of 'painful suspense gave place to a feeling ofdesperation.. On Monday morning David Tait pushed ahead, and, by great exertion, he succeeded in reaching Pent- • Lim). the same evening. A brief inquiry confirmed • his worst apprehensions—Air. Mackenzie had not been seen there. Mr. Rolette at once provided two men with every requisite, and sent them away, Tait accom panying them. They fell, in with the remnant of the party shortly after midnight on Tuesday, and after 4upplying their urgent needs, they went o ff in search of : the ill-fated Mackenzie. Th e y soug h t him in vain, nil that day and night, and on Wed nesday they came upon traces v*hich brought them to his corpse. , After leaving .hiS companions, he seems to have followed the trail for a considerable distance, and then to have lost his way. Night came upon ,1 - Aim, and bewildered by the growing darknesS and the drifting snow, he made towards a clump of trees, With the intention, probably, .of kindling . a fire: . If such was his object, he seems to have been' .unable to . accomplish it ; and his beaten track Shows that to keep himself from freezing he had spent the hours of .that lonesome night in running ro u nd i n a circle. With the break'of day, he started again across the trackless waste, every step that he took carrying him farther and, thrther ! from the spot which he was straining every nerve to reach. Another weary day of fruitless travel was followed by a Second night more dreary even than the first. Again he had managed to stave off what he must have felt to 'have been the hour of his dissolution by long hours of ceaseless activity„ A third day's journey brought him' towards Lae des ROseaux. ' Here he attempted to run round as before. But the strength and courage which had hitherto sustained him now forsook him. He :dragged his tired footsteps through the loose snow towards a tree, from which he plucked a branch and huni -, thereon a shred of his tattered ' coat as a signal' to mark his dismal resting-place ;' he next tore off another branch of the same tree, which he placed as a pillow for his cold bed, and then laid upon it his weary head and died. The powerful body and determined spirit which had so long braved the merciless storm, in spite of hunger arid fatigue, had at last to succumb. rills right hand was on his heart, and his left hung by his side, firmly holding a compass. The body gave indications of having undergone intense suf fering. Some portions of had been frozen and thawed many times in succession, before death in tervened and released it from further anguish. Meanwhile, Mr. James M'Kay had been des patched to Georgetown, to hung on the engineer. Bat, as already stated, the hapless party had left !before his arrival. They had taken different roads, and thus he had missed them. The remains of the . deceased were brought to Pembina on Thursday week, and to Fort Garry on the following day. The body continued there until yesterday, when it was conveyed to St. An drew's, and interred side by side with Mr. Mac kenzie's father and mother. Mr. Mackenzie had been educated at: the Red River Academy, and was about thirty years of 'age. He was waraa 7 hearted and generous, and has left a very large circle of friends and acquaintances 'to lament his untimely end. RECENT TVILLS AND BEQUESTS. ~- Hon. H.
