With regard to the last objection, it was a somewhat novel one. It was supposed by many to arise out of a question of jurisdiction ; but he believed that it was made an exception, in consequence of its being pre sumed that all accidents occurring out at sea were in consequence of some cause which could not be foreseen or prevented. That view was taken of it in Cummins' Digest. He (Mr. Compton) contended that any place into which the salt water flowed and reflowed was an arm of the sea ; and vessels on it came under the excep tion which he had already mentioned. If the water on which the vessels floated were considered fresh water, it should have been so stated upon the face of the inqui sition ; and he could therefore found an objection upon that point. Mr. Justice PATTESON—There was a case which oc curred not very long since— a collision between two ships off Margate—in which this point might have arisen, but it did not. Ido not mean to give any deci sion upon the point, as there are sufficient grounds with out it. You can take a rule nisi. EXPARTE SIJIITTLEWORTH. Mr. PARRY applied for a writ of habeas to bring up, and discharge from custody, the body of Mrs. Shuttle worth, now in custody as a lunatic. The Learned COUNSEL stated that he made the appli• cation upon three or four affidavits. The first of them was made by Mr. John Quail, a Member of the College of Surgeons, who had known the lady in ques tion for five years, as she had been during the whole of that period residing with him as a patient, for bodily and not mental disease. On the 9th of Au gust last, the lady, while in a carriage with the depo nent, was violently seized by a policeman, who acted under the directions of some other parties, who acted upon what he believed to be a medical certificate. On that certificate being shown to the policeman he gave his assistance, and the lady was removed to a lunatic asy lum belonging to Dr. Millingen, at Battersea. The de ponent stated that he knew the lady was of sound mind at the time she was taken. The friends of the lady had been unable to obtain a sight of the certificate, either from the commissioners of lunacy or from the keeper of the asy lum. He (Mr. Parry) made an application to Mr. Justice Erle at Chambers, and he there saw the certificates. Mr. Justice Erle declined to interfere on the certificates, but permitted him to make the present application. The certificates did not state the ground upon which the party obtaining the certificate believed the person to be of unsound mind. In the case of Fell, a lunatic, the 3d vol. of Dowling and Lowndes, page 373, which was discussed before his Lordship, it was not held necessary to state these grounds upon the certificate, but by the Act 8:13. and 9th Victoria, sec. 46, chap. 100, it was ordered that every physician, surgeon, or apothecary, signing any certificate shall state the facts from which he believed the party to be of unsound mind. The affidavit stated that there were no sufficient grounds for the custody of the lady alleged upon the certificates as required by the 45th section of the same Act. He had the affidavit of Thomas Austin, who had known the lady thirty years, and who believed her to be of sound mind, as also the affidavits of Edward Everall and Caroline I'eachey, her servant. The lady had always lived in strict retirement upon a pension of 1001., and the parties proceeding against her were utter strangers to her. Under these circumstances, it would be no injustice to the interests of lunatics in general if a writ of habeas were granted. All access was denied to the lady, and there was no affidavit from her.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) WELBY V. BROWN. In this case the particulars of which were given in The Sun of last Tuesday, and which was tried upon that day:before Mr. Baron Platt at nisi prius sittings. Mr. MARTIN moved, pursuant to leave given at the trial for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff for the whole amount. The question for the decision of the Court was the amount of liability attaching to an overseer for orders given by him during his year of office in matters connected with parochial business, and also whether he was held liable for services rendered to the parish in consequence of orders so given in after the expiration of his year of office. The COURT held that the verdict was good, and ought not to be disturbed. The fact of the plaintiff having made out his account to the defendant, a circumstance strongly relied upon by the Learned Counsel in the pre sent motion, was not sufficient to reader defendant liable for the payment of the same.—Rule refused. conduct, and was ready to make any reparation in his power. He was drunk, or he would not have done it. He hoped he would be treated leniently as it was the first offence. The prisoner Robins, who is a market gardener, made a similar defence. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner. Russell till to-mor row, and fined Robins 60s. for the assault on E 62, and 50s. for the furious driving, or, in default of payment, sentenced him to 21 days imprisonment for the former, and 14 days for the latter offence. Richard Rawlings and Mary alley, waiter and house maid at Mr. Orlando Wells, the Pine Apple, Hunger ford-market, were charged before Mr. Hall with stealing a bottle of wine, value 25., the property of their em ployer. Mrs. Wells, the prosecutor's wife, last night found the prisoners in the china closet drinking wine. Mr. Wells asked them where they got it, and Raw lings said " You got it from Joe Lee, did not you?" The other prisoner answered, " Yes; he took it from the cellar." _ - Joseph Lee, cellarman to Mr. Wells, said that he had never given wine or anything else to either of the prisoners. Rawlings said that he knew nothing about the rob• bery, and the female prisoner said she got the wine from Lee, which Lee still denied. Mr. HALL thought it would be most satisfactory to leave it to a jury to say which side was to believed, and he would therefore commit the prisoners for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET. 7 -(THIS . DAY.) Charles Dowding, assistant in the - alamode-beef shop, No. 4, Charles-street, was charged with attempting to pick pockets in the crowd gathered about the Castle street barracks. D. W. Thomas, assistant-shopkeeper, said he was in the crowd which was listening to the band, in Castle-. street barracks, last night, about nine o'clock, and the defendant came alongside of him, and began to feel his pockets. He put his hand on his left breeches pocket, and then walked round, and with his hand in his own greatcoat-pocket felt his right breeches pecket through the coat lining. Complainant without speaking to the man, walked aside and informed a policeman of what had occurred. He went back into the crowd and the defendant returned, and after feeling his breeches pocket, as before, attempted to insert his fingers into his waistcoat pocket up beneath the breast of his coat, which was buttoned at the time. He asked him what he was feeling his pockets for, but the defendant retired, without speaking, across the street, and when he saw complainant speak to a policeman he ran. Defendant—Did not I ask you what you meant when you spoke to me ?—Complainant said he did not return any answer whatever. Thomas Brown, constable 131 A, said he advised the complainant to return into the crowd and followed him. He saw the defendant go behind him and feel his coat pocket, and then pass round to the right side and rub complainant's right breeches pocket with the back of his hand. The defendant walked from him to behind two ladies and lifted up the dress of her on the right. Leaving them he went behind a gentleman in the crowd, where witness could observe his hands in motion, but in a short time he returned to the complainant whose breeches-pocket he again tried, and then at tempted, to put up his fingers beneath the brew. t of complainant's coat just ,at his waistcoat-pocket. When charged by the complainant he said nothing and ran as soon as he saw witness coming towards him, and when caught, in St. Martin's-lane, he said he had just come up from Somersetshire. The defendant denied the charge. Thomas Wolfe, the defendant's master, gave him a very good character for steadiness aral honesty. He said he had been in his house for eighteen months, and was quite surprised to hear the charge made against him. Mr. JARDINE said the conflict between the charactei of the defendant and the charge, left the case in consider. able perplexity. He asked if the policeman was sure the defendant was the man ?—The policeman said he was quite sure ; he had no doubt about his identity. Mr. JARDINE said he must send the case before a jury, and ordered that the evidence of the police constable should be taken down on the depositions as fully as it had been given before him. The prisoner was admitted to bail, his master entering into recognisances in 501. for his appearance at the sessions. James and Charles Stokes, two brothers, young men, were charged with creating a disturbance in the public house, 14, Crown• court, and committing a severe assault on a young boy, one of the spectators. John Wilkie, the landlord of the house, said his house was much pestered with the defendant James Stokes, who was idle, ill-disposed, and a drag upon his younger brother. Last night he had been drinking in the house, and tell asleep there, and when his younger brother Charles came to get him away, the other quar relled with him, and both fought most viciously. A crowd was in consequence gathered round the door, and Charles Stokes seeing them ran out and struck right and left, to the serious injury of a young boy in the crowd. The boy was kicked by the defendant in the back, near the kidneys, and in the ribs, so that it was feared some of his ribs were broken. He was carried away last night very ill to the Charing Cross Hospital. _ _ The Magistrate inquired whether any one was present to speak to the state of the boy, and on hearing that there was no report from the hospital, remanded thcl prisoners till to morrow. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) John Brown, a man advanced in life, was charged with stealing a Sun newspaper, from the premises of Mr. Wood, a coffee-house keeper, in the vicinity of this Court. Mr. Wood said the prisoner was in his coffee-room on Saturday morning, and soon after his departure four newspapers were missed. He came again in the evening, and a watch being kept upon him, when he left the box in which he was sitting, The Sun of the . same evening was missing. Il e was f o ll owe d, an d brought back and questioned, as to whether he had any newspapers in his pocket, and he replied in the negative, and exhibited hi s pockets to confirm th e t ru th o f hi s declaration. His hat, however, was taken off, and in the inside The Sun was discovered. He was then given into custody. The prisoner accounted for the eircumstance of the above newspaper being found where it was by saying that his hat being too large for his head, he put it inside to keep it from falling over his eyes. Mr. SECKER said he did not believe one word of such a defence, but that the prisoner had taken the newspaper for the purpose of disposing of it, and converting the proceeds to his own use. The Magistrate then inflicted a fine of ten shillings on the prisoner for having un lawful possession of the newspaper, and in default of pay ment committed him for fourteen days. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) In several cases which were -brought before the ma gistrates this morning of persons being brought to the station-house - drunk and incapable of taking care of themselves, the police applied to Mr. Greenwood that he would order the prisoners to pay 7s. 6d., being the amount of the doctor's fee. Mr. GREENWOOD said he did not understand this de mand, and inquired of the inspector on duty how it hap pened that this charge was made so indiscriminately. The Inspector stated that they had received strict orders from the Commissioners of Police that whenever a person was brought to the station-house apparently in sensible, they were at once to send for a medical man. As most of those charges were brought in at unseason able hours, the fee charged for the attendance was 7s. 6d. Mr. GREENWOOD said the law gave him no power to order a person to pay this sum. He thought it rather a singular order to have a medical man called in in every case of the kind, and he considered it would be very hard to compel every person so charged to pay 7s. 6d. as the police demanded. THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. THIS DAY. This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, the new Lord Mayor, Sir George Carroll, attended by the usual Civic and other dignitaries, left the Guildhall in grand procession. (A programme of the procession has already appeared in The Sun.) According to usual custom, the new Lord Mayor proceeded by water to Westminster to be sworn in, and to invite the Judges to attend the civic banquet. The City barge and the barges of the different Companies were gaily decked out with flags and streamers. On their return the Lord Mayor and the authorities landed at Blackfriars-bridge, and proceeded to return in procession to the Guildhall. The new equipages of the Sheriffs were much admired.

On being asked if Wise had left any family, he said, "He has left a wife and three daughters, who are able to maintain their mother, and I have already told her that as long as she lives she shall retain rent free the rooms her husband has so long occu pied. She shall never want," he added, "for as long as Harry Osborne has a crust, she shall have half of it.' Such conduct needs no comment. BATHS IN MARYLEDONE.-011 Saturday a special vestry decided unanimously on the establishment, in the above parish, of baths and washhouses for the labouring classes, in pursuance of the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 74. A NOVELTY IN THE STREETS OF LONDON.—Seats are now being placed, similar to those in the parks, for the use of the public, beneath a handsome row of trees, on the foot pavement in Piccadilly. An extra Gazette was published on Saturday, con taining an Order in Council respecting the admission of goods into the port of Natal, and also a list of articles which are prohibited from being imported. The prohi bitions extend to gunpowder, ammunition, and other articles. This Gazette also contains a list of Railway and other Bills, which it is intended to apply for in the course of the next session. A. failure, supposed to have arisen out of that of Messrs. Harman and Co., was announced on Saturday afternoon of a house connected with the spelter trade. it s engagements are quite insignificant. MEXICO AND THE UNITED :IaATES. SIX DAYS LATER NEWS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT. We have had two arrivals from the United States in the course of to-day. The packet ship Cambridge, from New York, with dates of the 16th ultimo; and imme diately after her the Joshua Bates, from Boston, bring ing papers from that city to the 23d, and New York to the 22d ultimo. The Joshua Bates sailed for Liverpool on the 22d of October, has, and therefore, made the voyage in littl e more than fifteen days. These arrivals have put us in possession of papers and other advises from the United States six days later than those pre viously received by the Hibernia. The British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Caledonia, after a somewhat protracted voyage, ar rived at Boston on the night of the 20th ult., about eleven o'clock. She sailed hence from this port in the forenoon of the 4th, and took out the particulars of the sad disaster which befel the Great Britain. Prior to her arrival there was much uneasiness and anxiety mani fested for the arrival of Captain Hosken and his aquatic monster ; and when the intelligence of her mis hap became known at Boston, much regret was ex pressed at the acc id ent, as well as sympathy for her commander. In the papers which we have received, we do not find any news which can fairly be characterised as im portant. Some particulars are given respecting the movements of the United States army in Mexico, as well as conjectures respecting the ultimate intention of their enemies. The West India Mail, which arrived at Southampton on the 4th, brought us accounts of the appointment of Santa Anna to the office of General Com mander-in-Chief. The advices now received confirm that report, and furnish us with his acceptance of the command. When at Ayatla, on his way to the capital, he addressed to the newly ap pointed Minister of War, General Almonto, a very remarkable, bold, and energetic letter. It is a manly and patriotic communication, arid gives the United States army to know that in his person they have a determined enemy, who longs for the time when he can meet the forces of that country in the battle-field, so that he may unsheath his sword, and take vengeance for the aggressions made upon the Mexican soil by the troops of Brother Jonathan. Santa Anna tells Almonte, and through him the people of Mexico, that they are now engaged in a terrible contest with a perfidious and daring enemy, in which the Mexican Republic must reconquer the insignia of her glory, or disappear from the face of the earth. Santa Anna reached the capital on the 15th of Sep tember. His reception was of the most encouraging and flittering description. The people 'were joyous beyond measure, and seemed to recognise in him their saviour and deliverer. The day after his arrival, the Provisional Government, following out the sen t iments o f S an t a Anna, ordered a levy of 30,000 men to recruit the army. Requisitions were forthwith transmitted to all the prin cipal places in the Republic for an immediate furnish ing of their respective quotas of men. Puebla, and the whole of the towns within a circuit of 50 or 60 leagues of the metropolis, are stated to have complied with the requisition with much cheerfulness and alacrity. On the arrival of the news at Puebla, a regiment was imme diately raised with a view to assist, and in the equip ment of this large body of soldiers the Mexican Go vernment have remitted all duties upon munitions of war. A commission had been appointed on the 4th of September, to adopt ways and means for encouraging and rewarding deserters from the enemy's camp, who should happen to place themselves under Mexican pro tection. The accounts from Santa Fe state that General Kear ney had been organising his military force and making a provisional Government. Intelligence was also said to have reached New York, that he had left Santa Fe on the 3d of September, having with him 3,0( 0 men and 20 days' provisions. His destination was Rio Ambago. He was expected to return in a fortnight, after which he was to start for California._ From the seat of war late accounts have been re ceived. The health of the troops had been very indif ferent, and those that were at Matamoras were dying at the rate of five per day. The late battle at Mon terey is said to have cost the Americans 700 killed and wounded ; the Mexicans, 1 ,100. Major G ra h am h a d left Washington, charged with instructions to Gener a l Taylor, whom the United States Government have or dered to prosecute the war with en erg y an d perseve rance. The terms of his negotiation with Ampudia are said to have been very unsatisfactory to the authorities of Washington. General Taylor was to leave Monterey for Saltillo on the Ist of November, and an additional force of 4,000 men were to be put under his command, so that he would depart from the scene of his last con quest at the head of 9,000 troops. Santa Anna was supposed to be on his way to meet General Taylor, and that the two armies would come within musket reach of each other, at San Luis Potosi, where another engage ment was likely to take place. GENERAL SANTA ANNA, COMMANDER-IN. CHIEF OF THE LIBERATING ARMY, TO GENERAL ALMONTE, MINISTER OF WAR OF THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO. " AYOTTA, ONE O'CLOCK A.M., SEPT. 14, 1846. " Sir,--I have received your favour of this date, ac knowledging a decree issued by the Supreme Govern ment of the nation, embracing a programme of the proceedings adopted to regulate a due celebration of the re-establishment of the constitution of 1824, the assump tion by myself of the supreme executive power, and the anniversary of the glorious cry of Dolores. My satis faction is extreme to observe the enthusiasm with which preparations are made to celebrate the two greatest bles sings that have fallen upon this nation—her independ encp and liberty—and I am penetrated with the deepest gratitude to find that m y arr i va l a t the capital will be made to contribute to the solemnities of so great an oc casion. "In furtherance of this object, I shall make my en trance into that city to-morrow at mid-day, and desire, in contributing my share to the national jubilee, to ob serve such a course as may best accord with my duties to my country—beloved of my heart—and with the re• spect due to the will of the sovereign people. " I have been called by the voice of my fellow-citizens to exorcise the office of Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Republic. I was far from my native land' when intelligence of this renewed confidence, and of these new obligations imposed upon me by my country , was brought me, and I saw that the imminent dan gers which surrounded her on all sides, formed the chief motive for calling me to the head of the ar m y: I now see a terrible contest with a perfidious and daring enemy, impending on her, in which the Mexi can Republic must reconquer the insignia of her glory, and a fortunate issue, it' victorious, or disappear from the face of the earth, if so unfortunate as to be de feated. I see also a treacherous faction raising its head from her bosom. which in calling up a form of govern ment detested by the united nation, provokes a prefer able submission to a foreign dominion; and I beheld at last, that after much vacillation, that nation is re solved to establish her right to act for herself, and to arrange such a form of government as best suits her wishes. All this I have observed, and turned a lie. tening ear to the cry of my desolated country, satis fied that she really needed my weak services at so important a period. Hence I have come without hesitation or del a y t o place myse lf in subjection to her will, and, d es i rous to be per f ec tly understood, upon reaching m y native soil, I gave a full and p ubli c expression of my sent i ments an d pr i n ciples. The recep tion which th e y met with conv i nce d rae that I had not deceived my se lf, an d I am now t h e m ore confirmed in them, not from having given them more consideration, but because they have formed a general echo in the hearts of my fellow-citizens. I come here to carry my views into operation, and in compliance with the man date of my country. She calls me as commander-in• chief of the army, and in that capacity I stand ready to serve. " The enemy occupies ou r harbours, he is despoiling us of the richest of _ ou r terr itories, and threatens us with joined with it, I will e- °) his domination. the enemies of my country. of a free people, and I go then to the head of the Mexican army, an army the offspri ng ( J . / fulfil my utmost duty in opposing which they are alike entitl e e the valiant Mexicans to t h e I will die fighting, or lead they have preserved, of a 7 r n e ' e tyy na j enjoyment of a triumph to from ent u vid s oe t nr i e c y.n e t,dh,erbul The yess wi their rosa arwn w hi asi a gcrhae like character, and by the di ingratitude for mu s t the unlessw hic which necessity of immediate importan c e, of infamy; I cannot recede the nation has assigned me ; I would draw upon myself the censuregodue will at once perceive how for the favours with which I have been overw hel m ed ft in assuming the supreme great my fellow citizens ; or unless I would behold her hum bled and suffering under a perpetuation of her my loyalty nor misfor tunes.anerrorYlosuhrouElxdcoelolmenmc hnetrof interests so dear ma gistracy, when my duty calls me to the field to fig h t against the enemies of the Republic.

I wish them to know that I consecrate myself entirely to their service as a sol dier ou g h t to do, and am only desirous further to be p ermitted to p oi nt out the course by which Mexico may attain the rank to which her destinies call her. In marching against the enemy A nd declining to acce p t of p ower, I give a proof of the sincerity of my sentiments ; leaving the nation her own mistress, at liberty to dispose of herself as she sees fit. The elections for members of a Congress to form the constitution which the people wish to adopt, are proceeding. That Congress will soon now con vene ,• and while I shall be engaged in the conflict, in armed defence of her independence, the nation will place such safeguards around her liberties as may best suit herself. If I should permit myself for a single moment to take the reins of government, the sincerity of my promises would be rendered questionable, and no con fi dence could be placed in them. 1 am re solved that they shall not be falsified, fur in their redemption I behold the general good, as well as my honour as a Mexican and a soldier. I cannot abandon this position. The existing Government has pursued a course with which the nation has shown itself content, and I have no desire to subvert it by taking its place. I feel abundant pleasure in remaining where I am, ; and flatter myself that the nation will applaud my choice. I shall joyfully accept such tasks as she shall continue to impose upon me, and while she is engaged in promoting the objects of civilisation I will brave every danger iu supporting its benefits, even at the cost of my existence. Will your Excellency have the goodness to tender to the supreme Government my sincere thanks for their kindness ? I will personally repeat them to morrow, for which purpose I propose to call at the palace. I shall there embrace my friends ; and hastily pressing them to my heart, bid theni a tender farewell, and set out for the scene of war, to lend my aid to serve my country or to perish among its ruins. - I beg to re peat to your Excellency assurances of my continued and special esteem. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA." SWEARING IN OF THE LORD MAYOR. This being the day for swearing in the Lord Mayor upon his accession to office, the Court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to witness the ceremony. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor, attended by the Civic authorities, entered the Court, when the usual oaths were• administered to him by Mr. Baron Parke, the Lord Chief Baron being prevented from attending in consequence of a domestic calamity. The usual invitations to the Judges to attend the ban quet were then given and accepted, and his Lordship and the other members of the Corporation withdrew. Their Lordships Then proceeded to dispose of several motions, none of which presented any feature of public importance. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) COULING V. COCKS. This case was tried at the last Surrey assizes, before Mr. Baron Parke, and a verdict given for the plaintiff on all the issues but one. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against a person named Holks, on which the defendant was subpcenaed as a witness. He failed to attend, and in consequence the plaintiff was obliged to withdraw his record and pay the costs. The present action was to recover the costs so paid. The issue on which the verdict was given for the defendant was on a plea in denial that the plaintiff had good cause of action in the case Cocks v. Molks. Mr. FISH now moved for a rule for a new trial on this issue, or for an interpleader, and contended that it was a matter of indifference to the present case, whether in the former one there was or was not a good cause of action—the witness was in either case bound to attend. Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. EMSWORTH. The defendant in this case appeared in court this day, having been at large, on bail, since last term. He had been guilty of contempt, refusing to obey an order of the Court, by giving up certain wine warrants and samples of wine. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE ordered the defendant to be brought up on the last day of term, and in the mean time he would be placed in custody. In the interim the Court would require an affidavit of the value in specie of the sample of wine and the warrants. The defendant was then removed in custody. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr: Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION LINE TO LEAMINGTON. In this case, in which a fiat of bankruptcy had been issued against this company, an application was made to the Learned Commissioner to adjudicate. The fiat had been issued on a notice of dissolution inserted in the Gazette. The Learned COMMISSIONER, after having perused the Act and consulted Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, said that he entertained doubts whether this amounted to an act of bankruptcy, and he must take time to consider. The SOLICITOR said that he had taken the opinion of a very eminent counsel, Mr. Swanston, and he was clearly of opinion that it was. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was a point of such importance that he must take time; he would, however, give his decision to-morrow, and , i n the mean time, no other creditor should be admitted to come in. The fiat is dated the 6th instant. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Robins and David Russell, who described them selves as gardeners, were placed at the bar before Mr.. Hall charged with b e i ng d run k and disorderly m Museum -street, on Saturday night. Robins was further charged w ith furiously driving a cart, and assaulting Policeman E 62, and Russell with assaulting Policeman E 56, and attempting 0 stab him with a 'alga clasp knife. Policeman E 62 said that on Saturday night a little after seven o'clock, he saw a horse and cart standing opposite to a public-house in Museum-street, without any one attending to it. At length Russell came out of the public-house and attempted to get into the cart, but he was so drunk that he fell back on the footway. Witness helped him to get up. He said the cart was his, but there was another young man in the public house who drove it, and he was sober. Witness then allowed him to return to the public-house. After a few minutes some people came out of the public-hr use, carrying Robins, between them, " bun dled him into the cart," and gave him the reins. Witness, perceiving that he was quite drumk, ran to the horse's head and attempted to stop him, but the prisoner flogged the horse violently. Robins then drove down the street and round the corner into Great Russell-street, at a most furious rate. At this moment Russell came out of the public-house and ran in the same direction. Witness ran after him, and caught him in Russell-street. He was about to take him to the station, but seeing the cart, which had been stopped by some passers by at a short distance, he left Russell and • ran towards it. When he came up to the cart he proceeded to take Robins into custody. H e , however, resisted, struck witness several times, and at length succeeded in getting away and driving off again. He was afterwards stopped in Hart-street, Bloomsbury, and taken to the station. Police E 146, said that he found the prisoner Russell in Russell-street, lying across the footway in the place where 62 had left him. There was a crowd round about him from whom he learned that the prisoner belonged to the cart which he saw at some distance. Witness took Russell in custody and followed to Hart-street, %here he found the cart, and the prisoner Robins, who was then in custody of 62. Policeman E 56, received the charge at the station. Russell appear e d ver y l ow s pirited, and said that he had been in the habit of driving for 15 years, and had never been in any " mess " before. Witness, to encourage him, said he did not think he was in much of a mess now. The prisoner a few minutes afterwards took from his pocket a large and formidable looking clasp k n if e (pro duced by witness), with which he made a sta . ) at him, but witness saved himself by throwing up his arm. He received a severe cut on the back of the hand. It was cut to the bone. Another constable went behind the prisoner and seized him, while witness di.armed The other policeman (E 152,) corroborated this state ment. The prisoner Russell, who is gardener in a gentle man's family, said that he very much regretted his mis 7 COMMERCIAL.

BRUSSELS, Nov. s.—Our city has just been visited by a dreadful fire, in which several houses were con sumed, or very much injured, but there is reason to hope that no person has perished. The fire broke out, between one and two o'clock in the morning, in the ex tensive manufactories of Mr. Pelseerep, timber-mer• chant, in the Place Saint Gery. The warehouse and workshops contained not only a great quantity of various kinds of wood ready prepared, but also a vast accumulation of furniture. The tio:ghbouring houses were in part consumed, and others much damaged. A magazine containing a large stock of beer was destroyed, and the casks taking fire, the beer was all lost ; unhappily the river since was nearly dry, in consequence of the water having been turned off fl , r the purpose of cleaning the bed. Orders were given to open the sluices, but it was more than two hours before the fire engines could act with full effort. Several companies of cavalry were brought to keep order, a company of gensdarmes preceded the troops, and were employed in the sane service; some of the spectators assisted the firemen and the soldiers both in working the engines and saving the furniture belong ing to the houses which were on fire, but tLey were not so numerous as might have been desired. We were sorry to observe that many workmen, attracted by cu riosity to the scene of the disaster, refused to afford kannyow a n s — s i 3 s t o a o n , c o e O .

The fruit trees will actually suffer by it, for the buds swell and will be destroyed when the frost sets in, so that fruit will probably be scarce next year. But, on the other hand, the pre. ductions of this season, such as turnips, carrots, &c., were never so fine or so abundant as at the present moment, so that the nurserymen and mar ket gardeners cannot sell them except at a very low price. It is surprising that the retail prices in the market do not fall in proportion. BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—Accounts from Vienna, of the 29th October, state positively that the Austrian Govern ment intend to issue shortly notes to the amount of 25 millions of florins, which, like the English Exchequer bills, will bear interest at 3 per cent., and may be ex changed for money upon being presented at the Bank. This issue will not exclude the plan of a loan at 5 per cent. VIENNA, OCT. 31.—His Imperial Highness the Arch duke Stephen, who was already on his journey hither, was overtaken by a courier, who was dispatched after him, and who brought the unexpected intelligence that his father had suffered a relapse, in consequence of which the Prince immediately returned to Ofen. MONTENEGRO CATTARO, OCT. 26.—Resents events in Montenegro explain the cause of the unexpected visit of the Vladika. The Pacha of Scutari, Osman Malson Pacha, is employing every means in his power to create a party in Montenegro, to set them against the Vladika, and gain them over to the Turkish Government, in which he has been successful in many iastances, by means of presents and bribes. For some months the Vladika has hesitated to grant consecration to several priests of the Turkish party in Montenegro. By com mand of the Pacha they were consecrated by the bishop, and afterwards received rich, presents. In consequence of this, !serious discussion arose in Montenegro, where many are going over to the side of the Pacha every day. The Vladika, whose influence is thus greatly weakened; and who sees the number of his subjects greatly diminish, is accordingly going to Vienna and Constantinople to give those Courts a personal detail of the actual state of things. Thirty steam-boats on the western rivers _of America are lighted withtgas, made by apparatus.in:each vessel, from the grease of its kitchen.

As there was every danger, if time permitted, of the marriage being forbidden, the bridegroom instantly set off for the certificate, with which, to the great joy of the bride, and the astonishment of the spectators, he re turned in three hours, having posted the whole of the way backwards and forwards. ROBBERY AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—Friday, information was forwarded to the London police, that between the hours of two and seven o'clock on Tuesday last, some thief stole from the rooms of Thomas Acton, Esq., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, a dressing-box, containing a letter of credit on the London and Dublin Bank for 30?, four 5/ Bank of England notes, four or five sovereigns, and about twenty shillings in silver ; also, several bills and letters of consequence, and a va riety of articles of value.

AV AL INTELLIGENCE. PORT ROYAL, JAMAICA, OCT. 9.—ThePickle schooner, Lieut, Henry Bernard, did not sail till the 27th ult., when she embarked the Hon. Colonel Bruce for the Ha vannab, en route to Canada. The United States' steam-sloop Spitfire, Commander Tatnall, having completed her defects, sailed on the 24th ult. for Chagres. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Forth, Captain Chapman, arrived on the Ist instant from the Spanish Main. Among her passengers from Chagres is Com modore Sloat, late Commander-in-Chief of the United States' squadron in the Pacific, on his way to New York. The Gallant Officer paid his respects to our worthy Commodore, and sailed on the 3d instant in the Tay, for Havannab. The intelligence brought by the party from the Pacific confirms that which we received in this island two months ago, viz., that California was formally taken possession of by the American forces. When Commo dore Sloat left Monterey on the 29th July, all Upper California, north of Santa Barbara, was in the full and quiet possession of the American forces, apparently, it is said, very much to the satisfaction of all the inhabitants, who have been long desirous of seeing their country under some stable government. The United States' steam-frigate Princetown was at Chagres when the Forth left, but;was to come on to this island for a supply of coals. The Princetown had con veyed dispatches thither for the American Commander in-Chief in the Pacific. The intelligence from Hayti is of an interesting cha racter. President Riche was progressing in his philan thropic efforts to unite the two divisions of the island under one government, and in many internal reforms, chiefest of which was the substituting coin for paper money. The ocean in this neighbourhood has ' , been unusually agitated for the last few .days, that miserable cemetery, the Palisades, and the town of Port Royal, having been partially flooded by the waves. This circumstance, it is feared, indicates the near approach of a hurricane, or that some of the neighbouring islands have been visited by this direful scourge. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Forth sails to-day at noon with the mails for Jacmel, Porto Rico, St. Thomas and Bermuda, at which latter island she delivers the mails, &c., for England, to the Thames, which vessel proceeds on to Southampton. The Clyde is at Grenada, bound to Trinidad ; the Trent bound to this island, and the Tay on her passage to the Gulf of Mexico. In harbour—lmaum, 72, receiving ship, with the flag of Commodore Pring, and the Royal Mail Company's steamer Tweed, Captain Parsons. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. The good service pensions, which reverted to the patronage of the Admiralty by the promotion of Cap tains Maurice White, Earl Waldegrave, J. D. Markland, C. 8., Sir Henry Hart, and T. T.

The Island of Ascension, at present governed by a Commander, will shortly have an old captain for its Go vernor, some disputes having arisen between that officer and a captain on the station as to seniority, the latter having claimed the Governor's house for his temporary residence when ashore, upon a recent occasion. It is to obviate similar difficulties in future that the above mea sure is resolved upon. Commander Morrell (1823), the present Governor, will be promoted. The Eurydice, 26, Commander Anson, has taken out orders for the Lily, 16, Commander Newton, employed on the coast of Africa, to be sent home immediately, in consequence of the second lieutenant and paymaster and purser having written for courts-martial upon themselves!

LORD MAYOR'S DAY IN THE OLDEN TIME.— The first account of this annual exhibition known to have been published was written by George Peele, for the inauguration of Sir Wolstone Dixie, Knight, on the 29th of October, 1585. On that occasion, as was cus • tomary to the times, there were dramatic representa tations in the processions of an allegorical character. Children were dressed to personify the City, magnani mity, loyalty, science, the country, and the river Thames; they also personated a soldier, a sailor, and nymphs, with appropriate speeches. The show opened with a Moor on the back of a lynx. On Sir Thomas Middle •ton's mayoralty, in 1613, the solemnity is described as unparalleled for the cost, art, and magnificence of the show, pageant, chariots, morning, noon, and night tri umphs. In 1655, the City pageants, after a diseon rriu Edmund i auce of about fourteen years, were revived. , Gayton, the author of the description of thn.ateatn3;sea,r;assa3a'ss, " Our metropolis for these planetary pa , ffaaimtho,uswaenadlthr,enanowdnveadlouinr:foreign nations as for Lord Mayor's Day.

The Kitnge, Duke Quee o f Aie Queen, Duke York, Prince Rupert, the ambassadors, the chief nobility, and the Secretary of State, were at the celebration of Lord Mayor's Day in 1674, when there were emblematic figures, artful pieces of architecture, and rural dancing, with pieces spoken on each pageant. MAGISTERIAL CHANGES.—Mr. Yardley, barrister of the Middle Temple has recently been appointed a 1 police magistrate of the metropolis, in the room of Mr. Bond, deceased, and will shortly commence bis official duties at the Thames Police-court, Stepney, where he appeared for the first time on Saturday, and sat upon the bench with Mr. Ballantino. Mr. BrAerip, who bit been a mnistrate of the Thames eoliee.court for twenty -1 three years, removes to the Westminster Police -court. The report of the appointment of Mr. M. Short to the vacant situation is premature.—Observer. LAW INTELLIGENC. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 7. RAYNALL V. RAYNALL. This was a case in which the plaintiffs, who were legatees, sought to have the property of the testator divided. It appeared there were no less than nineteen legatees, some of whom were out of the country, and that owing to the latter circumstance the rents arising out of the property had been accumulating for a considerable period. The arguments turned chiefly on the terms of the will, and were very lengthy. Lord LANGDALE said that it was a very difficult mat ter to decide in the present case, because the intentions of the testator were very ambiguously expressed. There were parts of this will which were, even to all appear ance, not capable of being reduced to any consistent meaning. A veryl ingenious question had been raised respecting the executory devise, as well as on other points ; but he had come to the conclusion, looking at the circumstances, that the children of the testator had become absolutely entitled to the estate in question. He would therefore ran the risk he must incur in dis posing of the property in the absence of some of the parties, and grant the decree, the costs to be paid out of the funds. The Court rose at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Noy. 7. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAN.) FRASER V. JONES. The arguments in this part-heard cause were resumed this morning. His HONOUR took time to consider his jud, Lent. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) PHILLIPS v. COLLINS.—LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. Mr. Sergeant SHEA applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict returned for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection, and on account of the verdict being against the evidence adduced at the trial which took place at the last sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Wightman. The defendant was a member of the provisional committee of a Geneva railway, and the plaintiff is a cabinet-maker, and the action was brought against Collins and a person named Greville, (who had suffered judgment to go by default), for 160/. 10s. for goods delivered on their credit, for the use of the pro visional committee of the railway. The only question jury considered the case was, whether Collins was liable ? The considered that he was, but he (Mr. Sergeant Shea) would remind the Court that the case was tried at a time %Olen, on account of the deeisions of the Court of Exchequer, it was unhesitatingly considered that the mere fact of being a member of a provisional committee rendered a man liable for whatever expenses were in curred by the company with which he was so connected. The case was tried upon this principle. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN differed with the Learned Sergeant. The case was left perfectly free to the consideration of the jury. He sub mitted the following questions to them:—Did Mr. Collins hold himself out to the plaintiff and to the world ae one of the directors of the railway, or suffered others to so hold him out, at the time the plaintiff sup plied the goods ? Did the plaintiffs execute the order on the credit of Collins and Greville being directors of the company, and were the goods such as the company required in its then state ? To all of these questions the jury replied in the affirmative, and accordingly gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant SHEA said they did, forming their deci sion on the principle, that because the defendant was a provisional committeeman, he was liable. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN repeated that he carefully left the question to the jury, and held that if the defendant suffered himself to be held out as one of the directors of the company, and that if the goods were supplied on the strength of the office he held then, that they ought to find for the plaintiff. Lord DENMAN-It will perhaps be assnmed now that being a provisional committeeman is an exemption ! (A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant SHEA said he did not contend that, but he contended that the evidence was as slight as possible to show that he was a provisional committeeman, much less that he sanctioned or gave the orders, Two persons named Gilbrante and Greville were the promoters of the line, and various meetings were held at the George and Vulture, Cornhill. There the busi ness of the company also, which was very trifling indeed, was transacted, but afterwards it was deemed expedient to take apartments at 73, Basinghall-street, and Gil brante ordered the furniture from the plaintifE Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN ref erre d t o hi s notes. Prom them it appeared that Gilbrante stated, at the trial, that he was to get directors, and that, if it was carried out, he was to be assistant-secretary, at a salary of 3/. 3s. a week, and to have 300 s h ares i n common w i th the directors. He told Greville that he wanted two more directors, when he mentioned the names of some friends who were members of the Reform Club, and promised to get that number before the offices were opened. He afterwards stated that he had got Collins to join the company. Collins, it appeared, came to the office two or three times, but his name was in the prospectus as a director, and on going into the board-room on one occa sion he said " You are doing it up very nicely." Mr. Sergeant SHEA said he called a number of wit nesses on behalf of the debt. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—YOU did ; but I thought they strengthens d the plaintiff 's case.—Rule refused. BILLS FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED.-WOOD V. MITTEN. Mr. Sergeant SHEA also moved for a new trial in this case, and for power to arrest judgment. The verdict was found for the plaintiff. The action arose out of a promissory note drawn by the defendant for 6001., en dorsed by him to a person named Clarkson to the plaintiff. The question at issue was whether the plaintiff knew that the bill had been fraudulently ob tained from the defendants. The defendant, who was a gay man of fortune, was defrauded of three bills in the month of March, 1845, by a person named Barker ; two of them came into the hands of a person named Hearn, who brought actions against the defendant for their amounts, but he had been in each case defeated. He now produced the affidavit of a person named Rickard, setting forth that with respect to this bill the plaintiff was well aware that it had been fraudulently obtained, he having been unable to do so at the trial. There could be no doubt of the fact, as various proceedings had been taken in the law courts and at Marlborough-street Police-court, which were fully reported in the news papers. He moved for an arrest of judgment on the strength of the statute of Anne, which rendered the note not negotiable. The Court of Common Pleas had granted a rule for a new trial in a similar case, and the question was now before the Court of Exchequer on demurrer. The Court acceded to the motion for an arrest of judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) HAYNES V. BUTTERWORTH. This action, which was tried at Liverpool before Mr. Justice Cresswell, was brought for the purpose of recovering a sum of money alleged to be lost to the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendant not accepting fifty shares in the Grand Union Railway, according to an alleged contract. The verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. BAINES now moved, by leave of the judge, for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered, as it appeared that, among other evidence given at the trial, it was proved that Haynes, the plaintiff, was in partnership with a person of the name of Tudall, and that, therefore, the action should have been brought in their joint names ; also, that the shares which the defendant contracted to purchase were . the shares of a Mr. Ainsworth ; those shares were not, however, sent to the defendant, but to a person residing at Nottingham, and other shares were handed over to the defendant ; and further, that the agreement for the purchase of the shares was not stamped.—Rule granted upon the whole of th• grounds. MINT P. PIICHAN. This was an action arising out of the non-accept ances of a number of shares in the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company. Mr. Hunt was a provisional committeeman of this line, and as such, was entitled to receive 100 shares. A short time after he applied to the secretary for a further allotment of shares over and above the 100. Mr. Hunt was residing at Southampton, as also Mr. Puckan, the defendant, who on the Ist of October went up to London, and while there sent down instructions by means of the electric telegraph to Mr. Clarke, a share broker of Southampton, in these words, "Buy me. Man chester and Southampton shares at 4i or 41 premium, and allotments at 41. ls. 3d. premium." Mr. Clark ac cordingly proceedLd to purchase a number of shares and allotments, including an allotment of 250 shares, for which Hunt and the plaintiff had written to the com pany, and in writing to the defendant, then in London, enumerating the purchases he had made, he mentioned the 250 shares applied for by Hunt (the plaintiff), which he had purchased at Si. premium. The company re fused, however, to allot to the plaintiff the 250 shares d e fendant said that he would h h a e vi h n a g d r e acpeipvleieddthefosrh,aarnesd, i n co nsequence of his not let him off his contract. On the 28th of October he received a letter from the secretary of the company stating that one h u ndred shares were allotted deposits. p r ovisional Some delay, receiving the scrip, during ably reduced. wh T t o ol hi c h eh i v p m e l t pla intiff n a te t s o i o ff i tksa p aidva l uep a m emb e r e th e ~i.nas h is necessaryo considerably f o n the sid Plain tiff then called upon the defendant, and requested him to take the scrip according to the terms of the contract, which the defendant refused, and the present action was brcught to compel defendant to make good the loss by his refusal. A verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr.' MONTAGUE CHAMBERS now moved for a new trial upon the ground that there was no authority for the defendant to make the contract, the instructions being to buy shares, and not allotments of shares; secondly, that an unreasonable time had elapsed before the- scrip was delivered to the defendant. The COURT refused•the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) BATTHO AND OTHERS V. THE COUNT B.LTHTHANY. LIVERPOOL AND DERBY DIRECT RAILWAY. Mr. WHITEHUHST moved for a rule to set aside the verdict on the ground of misdirection and its being against evidence. lie would also move that the da mages be reduced. The action was tried at Derby before Mr. Justice Patteson, and a verdict given to the plaintiff for 351. Bs. The plaintiffs were lithographers, who sought to recover for printing the prospectuses, &c., of the Liverpool and Derby Direct Railway, of which the defendant was a provisional director. The defence was, that defendant though he was named on the provisional committee, had never attended any of the mectin,s or had any personal communication with BatLi; and Co.
