" Alderbury Lodge, Les Vaux, " Jersey, Oct. 1, 1816. " Sir,—l applied yesterday to Mr. Greffier Godfrey for a copy of the Order in Council, addressed to the Go. vernor, Bailiff and Jurats, commanding them to register as Act of Parliament, the 3d and 4th Will. IV., chap. 49 for enabling Quakers and Moravians in all cases and in all places to make his or her solemn affirmation or de claration instead of an oath ; also for a copy of the Order in Council sent in February, 1838, commanding them to register an Act " for the more effectual Aboli tion of Oaths and Affirmations in various departments of the State, and to substitute declarations in lieu thereof;" and also for a copy of the Order in Council, dated Jan. 17, 1839, commanding them to register the " Dissenters Oath Act," all which Orders in Council, I understand, have been disobeyed. " Mr. Godfray informed me, that he could not furnish me with copies of the said Orders in Council, because they had not been registered. I shall therefore feel obliged, if you will give directions to those who may have the custody of the said orders, either to supply me with copies of the same, or to allow me to inspect them, so that I m a y acqu i re t h e necessary information to make a representation to her llaj•sty's principal Secretary of State upon th e su bj ect. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant, "ABRAHAM JONES LE CHAS. "Sir John De Veulle, Knt., Bailiff of Jersey." The following is a copy of the Bailiff's answer ; " Portland place, St. Helier's, Ist Oct., 1846. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the Ist inst.,* received on the 30th Sept., and in reply, to inform you, that I consider that the Greffier acted very properly in declining to give you copies of the Order of Council and Acts of Parliament mentioned in your communication, w hi c h i t appears have not been registered, and are not in force in this island. I beg further to observe, that I could not consistently with my duty, direct him to communicate to you any document which is not duly registered, or which does not emanate from any of the local authorities.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "J. DE VEIILLE. " Mr. A. J. Le Cras." Before we conclude we must make a few remarks. First, as regards the judgment. Lempriere pretended that, being of the persuasion called Quakers, he could not be compelled to take oath, but must be heard on his solemn affirmation, conformably to the Act of Parlia ment 3d and 4th, Will. IV., c. 49. Now the Act of the Court says, " conformably to an Act of Parliament," * In the hurry of business we made a mistake in the date. The bailiff also makes a mistake, in supposing we wanted oop:es of the Acts of Parliament, whereas it was 04 of the Orders iu Council►—En. IMPRISONMENT OF A QUAKER BY THE R .OYAL COURT OF JERSEY, OWING TO TUT... I ,R, OWN DISOBEDIENCE TO HER MAJES-'3 . Y'S ORDERS IN COUNCIL. (From the Jersey Neers.) Our re sfulers will recollect the case of one Philip Lemprieras a perion, who for many years past, has held the reib sous sentiments of the Society of Friends. His name f appears in our books, on the laws of Jersey, as one of those wh o h as su ff ere d for conscience sake, owing to thee ref usa l o f th e B a illy an d Jurats to recognise the laws 'of the Empire, and to conform themselves to the lawful orders of their Sovereign in Council. He has been several times summoned before the Court to give evidence, when he has demanded to be heard OR his solemn affirmation, which the Court has generally re fused, and on two or three occasions has committed him to prison, for not taking oath. The first time that he appeared, 1835, was in the case of Sinel v. Guilmoto, when the party who had called him to depose, seeing him about to be committed to prison, dispensed with his evidence. The second time was in 1837, the case of Shave v. Roussel, when Philip Lempriere and George Payn, two witnesses in the cause, objected to take the customary oath, and claimed to be heard ors their solemn affirma tion, conformably to the 3d and 4th, Will. IV., C. 49, which runs as follows: " Whereas it is expedient and reasonable that the solemn affirmation of persons of the persuasion of the people called Quakers, and of Moravians, should he allowed in all eases where an oath is requited," be is enacted that " every person of the persuasion called Quakers and every Moravian, be permitted to make his or her solemn affirmation or declaration instead of taking an oath, in all places and for all purposes whatsoever, where-an oath is, or shall be r equire d e i ther by the common law or by an Act of Parliament already made or hereafter to be made, which said affirmation or decla ration shall be of the same force and effect, as if he or she hath taken an oath in the usual form." A false affirmation to be punished as perjury. This Act does net mention the colonies and possessions abroad, but from the very comprehensive terms employed in it, the rule as to statutes of universal application must be deemed to operate upon it, and to give effect in all the British dominions. The 2 and 4, Wm. IV., c. 12, is a separate Act relative to Separatists. The demand of Lempriere and Payn having been overruled, they were committed to prison for contempt, and an appeal was made to the full bench, when the Jurats, by a majority of one, decided that the affirma tion of the witnesses should be received, provided they first proved they were Quakers. The plaintiff, after wards conceding that point, the Jurats withdrew the condition, alleging the consent of the plaintiff as their motives for so doing, and amended their judgment as follows: " On the difficulty which has arisen touching the ob jection of George Payn and Philip Lempriere, witnesses called by the said Guardian to take oath prescribed by the code of laws of 1771, alleging that they were of the Society of Quakers, as appears by the Act of the Court, bearing date the 16th of January, 1837. The said George Payn and Philip Lempriere in the cause. The parties having recognised that the said Payn and Lempriere are of the society called Quakers, and declared their consent that they be heard on their affirmation, to speak the truth without the oath being administered to them, the Court has ordered, that they shall be received accord ingly: therefore the cause is sent back to the inferior number." The third time was in 1839, the case of Guilmoto v. Halfyard, when the Court, refusing to recognise the judgment of the full bench, as a precedent, condemned Lempriere to take oath, and in default, to be imprisoned until he complied. He was accordingly sent to gaol, where he remained ten weeks, suffering greatly from his weak state of health, until the Secretary of State took cognizance of the matter, through the kind solicitude of the committee for sufferings, belonging to the Society of Friends, in London, a deputation of whom waited upon him, for that purpose. The Secretary of State commu nicated with the Lieutenant-Govereor, and the latter, with the Bailly, upon which a full Court was summoned, who instead of deciding upon the merits of the question, libe rated Lempriere, on hail, that he would be forthcoming whenever wanted. The action was subsequently aban doned. by which his evidence was not required. The fourth and last case, is the present one, that of Crown n. Halfyard and M`Grath, charged with having stolen certain property, belonging to Lempriere, who was tununoned to ive eviden ce i n su ppo rt o f t h e prose cution. Halfyard, having been liberated on bail of 51., did not appear, but forfeited his recognizance. It is said he has left the island. When the witnesses were about to depose, it was observed, that Lempriere did not hold up his right hand towards the heavens, which is the form of taking an oath in Jersey, upon which the bailiff asked witness the reason. He said, that it was on account of scruples of conscience. being of the religions persuasion of the peopl e called Quakers. MiGrath's advocate, Mr. Godfrey, observed, that Lempriere could not be a Quaker, because he did use the words thee and thou, to which he replied, he could soon satisfy him upon that point. The bailly asked Lempriere what proof he could adduce that he was of that persuasion ? He replied, that he had furnished the proof to the full court, on appeal, in the ease cif Shave v. Roussel, who decided, that he should be heard on his solemn affirma tion. The Act was sent for, and the Court to o k t h e subject into consideration. Lempriere could not engage an advocate to speak ir. his behalf, as Messrs. Ham mond, Godfrey, and Marren were engaged for the pri soners, and Mr. Le Sueur as constable had entered the report. The two others were absent. Lempriere re minded the bailiff of the Act of Parliament, 3 and 4. Wm. IV., e. 49, which allowed him to give evidence on his solemn affirmation, and of the Order in Council, which required it to be registered. The bailiff, how ever, refused to take any cognizance of this. Lempriere urged him to refer the matter to the full court, as before, but in vain. The following is a translation of the judgment of the Court, so far as Lempriere is concerned:— * * " After which, when proceeding against the said Thomas M'Grath, and to swear in the witnesses, the said Philip Lempriere pretended, that he is of the per suasion called Quakers, and that consequently he cannot be compelled to take oath, hut mist be heard upon affir. ination, conformably to an Act of Parliament. Consider ing, that the said Act of Parliament had not been regis • tered in this island and cannot have force of law: Con sidering, that the project of law passed by the States on the 7th March, 1842, in order to assizni!ate the law in this Island to that now existing in England respecting Quakers and Moravians, has not obtained the Royal sanction, and that therefore if Philip Lempriere was to make a false declaration, there exists no law by virtue of which he would be punishable, as a witness would be, who should falsify his oath. The Court has j udged, that the said Philip Lempriere is bound to take the custom. ary oath as contained in the Code of 1771, and the said Philip Lempriere having positively refused to take the said oath, the Court, conformably to the conclusions of ithe said Queen's Procureur, has sent him to gaol until he obteinperates to th e j u d gment of the Court.' Lempriere was then committed to the House of Cor rection and incarcerated in the same dungeon as that in which Mr. C. C. Wilson was confined, for an alleged con tempt. The next day he applied to the gaoler, fur a copy of tt , e warrant of committal, and received a piece ot paper, purporting to be a memorandum, of the following tenor:- 1846. Philip Lempriere having refused to take oath Sept. 28 j as a witness at the suit of the Crown, sen tenced by the Court to be detained in pri son until he complies. JOHN P. DE STE. CROIX. Dy.-Vicc, leempriere then sent for the editor of this journal, to draw up a memorial to her Maj, sty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, and also to write or his behalf to the Committee 6)r Suff e ring s b e l ong i ng to the Society of Friends, to implore their interposition with the Governinent, which he did ; but previous to doing so, it was deemed necessery to obtain copies of the Orders in Council which had commanded the authori ties in Jersey to register and observe the Acts of Par liament vassed for the relief of Quakers, Moravians, and other dissenters. Mr. Le Ores, therefore, applied to the Gretlier for copies, and was informed that they could not be obtained, because the documents had not been recerded. Upon this, he addressed the following letter to the bailiff : yitlE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, _1846. 1 without specifying what one, a nd s i ngu l ar enoug h , i t I says, " the said Act of Parliament has not been regis tered." Really, this slovenly way of rendering judgment is unpardonable. The Act of the Court then goes on to say, " considering that the project of law passed by the States, on the 7th March, 1842, in order to assimilate the law in this island to that now in England, respecting the Quakers and Moravians, has not obtained the royal sanction, and that therefore if Philip Lempriere was to make a false declaration, there exists no law by virtue of which he would be punishable, as a witness would be who should falsify his oath, the Court has adjudged that he is bound to take the customary oath as contained in the code of 1771." Thus, this judgment is not founded on the pretension, but is altogether beside tise question. The witness claimed the benefit of the law, and no power upon earth can lawfully withhold it. The affirmation of Quakers has long been known in Jersey and pro vided for by the laws of the island, enacted by competent authority, but then those laws have been repudiated. So then the Court, take advantage of their own wrong or disobedience towards her Majesty, by declari ng t h at the Act of Parli amen t w hi c h they refused to register, has not acquired force of lawl They say nothing of the Order in Council which ccsmmanded them to register it, and which order, as well as several others, have not been registered, kithough Mr. Le Breton assured the Commissioners that " Orders in Council were always re gistered, notwithstanding the Court bad the power to suspend them until a representation was made." Again: becatre the States have passed a project to supersede the Act of Parliament, which project has been disallow d, the Royal Court declare there is no law for the punish ment of Quakers, who may make a false declaration. Now what said Mr. Le Breton before the Commis sioners? " Although we have no criminal law, but the coutumier, yet the Court uses its discretion in the punishment of crime." Then why not have done so in the present case? whether there is or not, a law, for the punishment of a false declaration, the Court was bound to admit the witness to affirm, conformably to Act of Parliament. It was bound to administer the law just as they found it, and not to anticipate, that the witness would perjure himself. By doing so, they have violated a positive law to prevent a bare contingency—which is a grave dereliction of their duty. If they did not think proper to admit Lempriere to depose on his affirmation they ought to have dispensed with his evidence, and not to have imprisoned him for non-conformity. The Act of Parliament under which Lempriere claimed exemption was applicable to all the British dominions; besides, there was an express provision made in the Code of Laws, permitting persons calling them selves Quakers to be heard on their solemn affirmation in certain cases, which is a recognition of the right. It was an Act of George IL, for collecting moneys for the support of Greenwich Hospital, and contains the fol lowing clause:—"Provided and be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that in all cases, wherein by this Act an oath is required or appointed to be taken, the solemn affirmation or declaration of the people called Quakers, shall be accepted instead of such oaths, in such manner and form, as by laws and statutes of this kingdom is directed and appointed; and if any such Quaker shall refuse to make such solemn affirmation and declaration in any case, wherein any other person is hereby required to take an oath, every such Quaker so refusing, shall for every such offence, be subject to the like forfeitures and penalties, as any other person refusing to take an oath, is made liable to by this Act. And in case any such Quaker shall upon his solemn affirmation or declaration, affirm or declare any matter which shall be false, or if any other person before any such receiver or other person hereby authorised to administer oaths shall wilfully make a false oath, every such Quaker or other person being thereof lawfully convicted, shall for every such offence, suffer and be ' liable to the like fines, pains, penalties, and punish ments, as persons convicted of wilful and corrupt per jury are subject and liable to by the laws of the re spective places, where such offence shall be committed." The Court have acted under the erroneous impression that an Act of Parliament, in which the islands are in eluded, under general terms, have not force of law, but this objection has been anticipated and provided for by the Order in Council, which is the statute law of the country. As for the notion that an Act of Parlisment has not force until registered it is preposterous. It bai been everruled by the Lords of the Council, the Queen's Bench, and the Court of Exchequer. The authorities may petiti,in the I'rivy Council against an Act, but in vain. It is not within the competency of the Crown to release them from its obligations, as may b 3 seen by the 1)110 w ing Order in C, - )uncil : At the Court at Hampton Court, the first day of July, ( 1731, upon reading this day at the Board a report for the .IZi;ht Hon. the Lords of the Com m itt ee , f or t h e affairs if Jersey and Guernsey, dated the 16th of last month, in the words following, viz., "Your Majesty caving been pleased, by your order in Council of the 9th df July, 1730, to refer unto this Committee the humble i petition of the States of your Majesty's Island of Guern sey, setting forth that by an Act passed in the second year of your Majesty's reign, it is enacted that some former Acts made concerning the raising sixpenco per month from all seamen's wages, towards the support of Greenwich Hospital, should be extended to the ships and vessels belonging to any of the subjects of the said Island of Guernsey, and that the said duty should he collected and levied in that island. That apprehending the col lecting and levying the said duty within the said island is ' contrary to the charters and privi leges' granted to the inhabitants by your Ma jesty's royal progenitors ; they, therefore, humbly prayed that they might be heard in maintenance of their privileges, and that your Majesty will be pleased to grant them your royal protection, and such relief in the premises, as to your Majesty shall seem meet. The Lords of' the Committee, in obedience to your Majesty's said order of reference this day, took the said petition into consideration, and were attended by counsel for the States of the sad Island of Guernsey, as also for the re ceivers of the said duty. But it appearing on the face of the said petition, to he a complaint "against an Act of Parliament," their Lordships did not think proper to near the counsel on the merits of the said petition, " being of opinion that the same was not cognisald, More your Majesty in Council ;" and therefore humbly report to your Maje:tty, that the said petition ought to be rejected. We have now only one more ob servat i on to make. Lempriere has been robbed of his property. He has charged two persons with the commission of the offence, m , l thoy hive been liberated on bail ; one has forfeited ' nis recognisance, the other may do the same, but Lem priere, who comes forward on behalf of the public to bring them to justice, is made the scape goat. He is first robbed of his property, and thin of his liberty also. And yet this is a Christian country. Hurrah for reform THE AFFRAY ON THE NEW CASTLE AND BERWICK RAILWAY. NEWCASTLE UPON-TYNE, SATURDAY.—The prisoners George Mathews and John Hughes, were brought up before the Magistrates, Mr E. J. Collingwoe.d and Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., at the Moot-hall, this day, when William Oliver, Mary Bryson, and Captain :Potts were Examined. • William Hunter, police-officer at Walker, was then ,worn—He said, I received information of tht murder on Monday afternoon, and traced the prisoner Hughes to Sunderland, where I apprehended him betwe ,n one and two o'clock on T ues d ay morning. On core ;eying hi m to Newcastle, when we reached the Pelaw• station, the prisoner asked me if the man was dead? and on my telling him that he was, he said, " I told n iy companion he had done wrong in stabbing the wan with the knife, and that we were sure to be taken; but ghat I would take one way, and ho another." John Blenkinsopp said—l am a butcher iirt. Newcastle, and was going towards Long Benton when met Cap tain Potts, who told me a man had been sts tbbed, and gate me a description of the person who h ad done it, and the direction he had taken. I prom, in the direction pointed out, and overtook t. e prisoner Mathews near Byker, where I passed him 6 ~nd gave in formation to the police, at the Ouseburn 6 tation, and when he came up one of the policemen too( him into custody. John Potts, inspector of police, said—l es me into the station soon after the prisoner Mathews was appre hended, and searched him, but did not find , knife upon him. John Turaer, police-officer, said--I seam ed the road which the parties had taken after the man t vas stabbed, and found a penknife open, lying on the side of the foot path, about 180 paces from where the murde : took place. It was rusty, but the ground was wet, and i t had rained the night before. There was the appearat ee of blood on the knife. Thomas Commons, surgeon, said—l re ade a post mortem examination of the body of the -ceased, and found a wound on the inside of the left th ig h, nearly in the groin. It was two and a half inches lco l one and a half inches in depth, and three-quarters of ax t inch wide. It appeared to have been made by a plungs and a rush upwards. The femoral artery was transfima d and lace rated upwards nearly an inch, and the vein in: td also been opened. Death was caused by the loss of: blood conse quent on that wound. The animal life wou; Id be extinct in a few seconds. A penknife is an instrumfmt t that would make such a wound. The clerk to the magistrates stated that II to next wit ness was expected to prove that Mathew:: a nd the de ceased had had a battle on that day month, - wi ten the pri soner Hughes acted as the second of Math/ mvs, but he found that he was not able to identify the Try rties. No other witness was called, and the 'risoners on being charged—Mathews with the inurde c of the de ' ceased, and Hughes with aiding and ass :isting—said they were not guilty. The prisoners were t hen formally committed for trial at the Northumberland assizes. Mr. REED, the coroner, was present du .r ing this exa mination, and at its close he said he had i t :omplaint to make against the gaoler, for having disol ae yed his war rant in not bringing the prisoner before hi in at the in quest -which was held on Wednesday. The gaoler said he was ordered not to do so by the magistrates. The CORONER said that made no el Terence. He ought to have obeyed the order. As it happened, it was (if no consequence, for the prisoners '4l ere identified by Captain Potts, who had had an opportuel ity of seeing there,. T' ae Clerk of the Peace said the prisoner .I were com mitted by the magistrates into the custody .) f the gaoler, to be produced before them on Thursdr j, and they had subsequently altered the time to Sa urday. The gaoler was to keep the prisoners in this c c unty, and if he had taken them to the inquest they worl Id have had to pass through the borough of Newcastle, • which would hav a been virtually putting them out of ' his custody alt( )gether. IChe COURT —When the prisoners wei .0 remanded int.) the custody of the gaoler, he was req n. ired to pro due a them before this Court, and he onl_ ir obeyed the ins tractions o f th e Court in keeping thee i in custody wi thin the jurisdiction over which this Col a t -t exercises its authority. 'The CORONEB, was then asked if he wi she d the Ni s-AWN to kto produced before laimeu Iticed:PV T 41914 he replied that he would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the magistrates. The Court, after a brief consultation, deferred signing the committal until Tuesday, to which day the prisoners were accordingly remanded. The immediate cause of th e b ru t a l attack seems at presentinvolved in considerable mystery. It appears that frequent quarrels have lately occurred between the Irish and English labourers. The deceased was often heard to complain th at t h e Ir i shmen were always molesting him, and he appears to have had a fight with one of them. He had the reputation of a good fighter, but was, nevertheless, of a very peaceable disposition. The evidence of the girl Bryson, as to what deceased said to her, would lead one to suppose that the men had robbed him, but there does not appear to be any good ground for that supposition. From the pay ments which deceased was understood to have made after receiving his wages on Saturday, he was not likely to have had any more money in his pocket than what was actually found upon him, which was 6d. and some copper. The only circumstance which might lead to a suspicion of robbery was that of Murray throwing away a pair of trousers in attempting to escape, but the trousers have since been identified by his landl a dy as his own, so that his throwing them away could only have been to facilitate his escape. Hughes, the taller of the prisoners, is a good and in telligent looking man, of strong muscular po wers , k een eye, and large perceptive faculties. Mathews presents a remarkable contrast to him in all these respects. He has, besides, a vacant stare, which gives him an appear ance almost idiotic. Both prisoners were dressed in the ordinary costume of their class—fustian trousers and a white smock frock. Hughes stated that his name was not John Hughes Murray, but John llughes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A lad, named John Pye, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having infringed the Act for the Protection of Merchant Seamen, by giving a false answer, in stating that he had not received a register ticket, and Captain Gardner of the ship Pacific, was charged with having aided and abetted the boy in committing the mis demeanour. The solicitor to the Board of Admiralty attended for the prosecution, which excited much interest, and termi nated in a manner very different from what was ex pected on the first view of the case. The solicitor to the Admiralty stated that the Merchant Seaman's Act required that each person in the merchant service should be registered, in order that if able-bodied seamen should be wanted for her Majesty's service upon any emergency the Government might be able to procure without trou ble the necessary amount of assistance. Mr. E. 11. R. Coleman, clerk in the General Register and Record Office for Seamen of the Port of London, Hamet-street, Minories, stated that when seamen were registered at the outports, duplicates of the register tickets were returned in pursuance of the Act of Par liament to the office in London within a week from the time of such registration. In the present case the dupli cate register ticket was signed in the handwriting of Mr. Bentley, the proper officer at Hull, and was numbered 204,730, and issued to John Pye, at Hull, on the 11th of September, 1846. Witness, in consequence of some in formation which he received, went on board the Pacific, lying in the London Docks, to make inquiries. The prisoner Pye was on board, and witness asked him where his Hull ticket was? He replied that he never had a Hull ticket, and witness took him into custody. Pye then took witness to his lodging, and gave to him the original register ticket produced, acknowledging that he had been registered at Hull, and that he knew he had done wrong, but it was the fault of the captain who had made him do it. Witness then accompanied Pye to-, wards the Mansion-house, and in passing the house of Thomas King, a licensed shipping agent, that agent identified the boy as a person whom he had bound apprentice. Mr. R. Peppercorn, clerk in the Register and Record office for Seamen in the Custom House, said it was part of his duty to register apprentices to seamen, and to put the necessary questions previously to granting a regis ter. On the 2d of October a youth, whom witness be lieved to be Pye, applied to him to be registered as an apprentice, and was accompanied by a Captain Gardner, the captain of the Pacific. Witness put to him, amongst other questions, the following:—" Have you, or have you not, been registered before ?" and he said, " Nu." Witness then asked him where and when he was born ? and he replied in Kirkahly, county of Montrose, 29th June, 1830. In consequence of his answers he had a register ticket granted, a duplicate of which was pro ducsd, and the captain took the indenture and-the ticket away with him. Mr. Thomas King, licensed shipping agent under the Bo trd of Trade, said that he was employed by Captain Gardner, the captain of the Pacific, and bound Pye to that person as an apprentice on the 2d of October. The b,3- was called forward by the captain, in order that the indenture might be made out, and said that he hail ob tained a register at Hull, and that he was eighteen years old. Witness said to the captain that the lad could not be bound, as he was eighteen years of age. The captain then told the boy to put the Hull ticket out of the way, and say nothing about it, and witness said it would be illegal, and the captain would he liable for his own actions. The captain then said that witness would do him a favour by filling up the indentures according to the instructions, and witness directed the indentures to be filled up ac cordingly. The LORD MAYOR here said it appeared to him that the agent who had been licensed by the Board of Trade was much more culpable than either of the individuals accused, as it was evident the imposition was sanctioned by the authority of tt:c agent. The case having been postponed for further evi :eller-, Mr. Hobler appeared as solicitor for Captain Gardner. Mr. George Burnell, assistant to Mr. King, was called for the prosecution. He stated, that on the Ist of Octo ber he went en board the Pacific, in the London Docks, and received instructions from the boy as to his age and birth-place. The boy said he was sixteen years of age. 'nett was merely a visit preliminary to drawing up the indentures; and on the following day witness went on board again, and the captain and the boy and Mr. King were On hoard. The captain pointed to the boy as the person he wished to be bound, and Mr. King said he would fill in the name in the indentures. The boy said he was just upon eighteen years of age, and Mr. King said he could not be bound at that age, and the captain said to the boy, " You must make it a little younger than that;" and the boy said, " Say sixteen, then—but how about my other re :inter ticket?" The captain said, " Oh, just keep that out of the way. You have no occasion to let them see it, as it is only a matter of form, merely a nominal thing just to work the vessel out." Mr. King said, "You must mind what you are about captain —you are acting contrary to the law." The captain said, " It's only just to work the vessel out to Hobart Town." Witness then filled in the indentures, and witnessed the signatures of the captain and the crew. Mr. King was called and re-examined by Mr. Hobler. Mr. Ruttier—You being a Government officer, didyeu, knowing that the boy could not be apprenticed at eighteen years of age, fill up the indentures and per form the necessary forms? Mr. King—l did not. It was my assistant.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hobler—Wily did you not, knowing that the whole of the business was illegal, tell the captain that you could not act at all? Mr. King—l did tell him so. But he entreated me very much. Mr. Hobler—And you allowed him to do an illegal act ? Mr. King—lt was not I that did it •it was my young man.—(Laughter.) theerrAtriahrle. anything business,ct o a i p tli t rin. as lih declared twicitelgdlw,l atwhsahesdot captain ahihpdteet decidedly supposed he welii Governmentng would h de ins not agent oatd hi sanc tionne r w o as ng. acting in oppo sition to the law. The LORD MAYOR—And still you obeyed the instruc tions of the captain ? Mr. King—l did not. It was my assistant that filled up the indentures. I assured the captain that he was not justified, but there was no use in talking to him. Il e would have the boy bound.—(Laughter.) Mr. nobler submitted that the case was a most flagrant one against the Government agent, who had solicited to be employed in the matter, and had afterwards betrayed the captain, who, having 'been absent from England twenty years, was not aware of the state of the law, and relied entirely upon the judgment of the agent. The LORD MAYOR said that Mr. Tlobler's view of the case was perfectly correct. The Government agent was the offender, and he hoped the solicitor to the Admiralty would take care that the matter should be represented to the Board of Trade. The Solicitor to the Admiralty said that if he had known what had come out in the presence of his Lord ship, he certainly would have hesitated before he charged the captain, and that he should take care that the case should be represented to the Board of Trade. The Captain, in answer to the Lord Mayor, said that he should take the boy with him as a seaman, and his Lordship discharged both defendants. GUILDHALL. Mr. Joshua Freeman, one of the inspectors of forged notes at the Bank of England, attended before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, on summons for detaining a sheet of paper belonging to Mr. Alfred Mortimer Job, a stationer, in Bread-street. Mr. C. Freshfield, one of the solicitors to the bank, ap peared on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Job said he complained of the detention of a sheet of paper manfactured by him, and bearing the name of Dupont and Co. in the water mark. Mr. Freeman took it from him a month ago at the Bank of England. He called on complainant and inquired about some paper he had made for Mr. Thornton, the same gentleman that committed suicide in a station-house a short time since. Witness told him he thought he had preserved ORO sheet of it for his register of specimens, but of course he could not part with that. He found the sheet and took it to the bank to show Mr. Freeman, who seemed to want to keep it. Witness told him he could not part with it, but he delivered it to him to show to the governor. After keeping him waiting for a long time he returned, and said he intended to detain it. Complainant said this was a very arbitrary proceeding towards a respectable trades man, and insisted that his property should be returned to him. After some discussion, Mr. Freeman promised to return it by noon that day. He, however, did not do so, and witness was obliged to take this course, upon principle, to show that even the bank could not be suf fered to treat people in an arbitrary manner, Mr. Freshfield replied that the circumstances of the case were rather extraordinary. A man named Thorn ton destroyed himself a short time since while in cus tody, charged with having possession of a forged bAta note. At his lodgings were found - ' - Tawas Sfla imple ments for preparing foro‘-' that Mr. Job I , ^' , _..41 manufactured the paper for him. notes, and discovered The .1 )3 1": nad the curved or waving bar in the water on inner of p t i h e o c is el Actsy like for the )r u w B o gofthEon crimeglan d o notes, by it was enacted that no person should manufacture paper with a curved or waving bar watermark, on pain of trusportitieh for 14 forgery, and years. The way FOicialx• Job met the inquiry induced the banik to believe he had (attended inadvertently, and no proceeding was taken against him, though the mischief he had enabled Thorn ton to commit was enormous. He had manufactured for him paper for 10,000 notes, which might have been filled up as 1001. or 1,000/. notes, and circulated in India and Eu rope. The paper had fortunately been seized at Alex andria on its way to Cairo, where Thornton had an establishment. If Mr. Job flattered himself that he might lawfully have possession of paper on which he could fabricate false notes, he was mistaken. It was declared to be a felonious act to make such a water mark or to have such a sheet of paper in possession. He warned Mr. Job that he would be treated as a felon if ho were found offending again. Mr. Job said the Act which Mr. Freshfield referred to only related to the making of paper to be used in England, but he had a perfect right to make paper in any fashion for exportation, to be used by banks in foreign countries. The Act could not be so stringent as to making water marks of curved lines, or as to having possession of paper so marked, for many of the country banks printed their notes on such paper. It was a com mon thing to find the water mark of a local note of a wavy pattern like a Bank of England note. Mr. Freshfield said he was not aware of any such in fringement of the law. Mr. Alderman GIBBS inquired for the section of the Act to which Mr. Freshfield had referred. Mr. Freshfield handed to him the 11th George IV., cap. 66, sec. 13, 14. Mr. Alderman GIBES read it, and said Mr. Job was certainly mistaken. There were no words of limitation in favour of paper made to be used abroad. It was un lawful under any eircumstances for any one but the Bank of England to make paper like theirs in respect to curved or waving watermark lines. He gave the Act to Mr. Job to see if he could discover any exception that would avail him. Mr. Job and a friend turned over the statute for a few moments, till Mr. Freshfield said he would make him a present of that copy, that he might look at it care fully. He took this opportunity of recommending him to get rid of an instrument which had been seen in his house, and which was used by manufacturers of spurious gold ceins. Mr. Job said this was mentioned to prejudice him as a respectable tradesman. They were used by his father, and he had a right to have them, for they were simply implements to be used in gilding, a mere battery. Mr. Alderman GIBBS recommended Mr. Job to with draw his complaint. If he asked for a decision another magistrate must be called in, for one magistrate could not determine on the complaint. Mr. Job at first said he would have a decision. Mr. Alderman GIBBS again recommended him not to press for it. Mr. Job said, then at all events he hoped it would be a lesson to the directors to treat respectable tradesmen with due respect, and not take the same arbitrary course as they had with him. Mr. Freshfield (laughing) said no doubt the directors would take the lecture from his bands. The bank, therefore, retained the sheet of paper in issue. It was produced in Court. It was larger than a bank note, and had a border of watermark all round, the words " Dupont and Co." appearing at the top and bottom, and " Egypt" on each side ; but a distinct water line showed where this border might be cut off, leaving a centre piece exactly the size of a bank note, and leaving a watermark of curved or waving lines ex actly resembling the bank note. BOW-STREET. MISCONDUCT OF A. SOLDIER.—Edward Ferby, a pri vate in the Scots Fusileer Guards, was charged with wantonly breaking windows in a public-house, while in a state of intoxication. Mr. Perry, of the Crooked Billet, Wych-street, Strand, proved, that at, nine o'clock on the previous evening, the prisoner and two other soldiers, all of whom were drunk, came in and had three half-pints of rum. They entered into conversation with a bystander, and offered to measure the muscles of their arms with his, but he declined, on which they wished to have a spar ring -match with him ; but witness prevented this by turning them out of the house, and shutting the door. This rendered them very furious, and the prisoner broke no less than seven panes of glass, some of which were worth 265. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that ho was drunk, and had no recollection of the acts charged against him. Mr. Wilson, of the Two Spies, Catherine-street, also preferred a charge of breaking windows against the prisoner. It appeared that as he was being conveyed to the station-house on the first charge he took off his belt and, dashing it through the window, broke two squares of glass, and also p ar t o f t h e sas h. He conducted him self in such a violent manner that it required twelve con • stables to convey him to the station-house, one of whom, 135 F, he kicked in a most severe manner, and threatened to murder any one who touched him. Mr. HALL said it was evident that the mischief was occasioned by Mr. Perry allowing liquor to persons in a state of intoxication, and it was an offence on his part to admit such persons into his house. He would take care that the facts should be laid before the licensing magis trates at the annual licensing day, as Mr. Perry ought to be punished. At the same time the prisoner should be made to feel that he could not be permitted to commit such violent acts, and also that intoxication was no ex cuse. He therefore committed Min for 21 days for the assault on the police, and ordered him to pay 265. for the destruction of Mr. Perry's windows, or, in default, 15 days' imprisonment, and also ss. or five days' imprison meet for the damage done at Mr. Wilson's. Mr. Perry assured the magistrate that he had not sup plied the peisoners with liquor, but that they were treated by persons who were present. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CASE OF MRS. LoMAx.—Mr. Lomax, a solicitor, the eldest son of General Lomax, attended the Court on Saturday morning to give some explanation of the circumstances under which General Lomax left his son, Captain Lomax's wife, and her infant child to remain in such a state of destitution as necessitated the application made by her for relief to the Strand Union. Mr. Lomax said General Lomax felt much anno mica at the publicity given to the case ; he was not, however, disposed to do more for his son than he did at present, namely, to allow him a sufficient sum to main tain him. Captain Lomax was a person of such reckless and dissipated habits, that it was quite impos s ibl e t o en trust him with money. If Captain Lomax was furnished with money, he would spend it in dissipation, or if he immediately. was supplied with clothes, he would ma k e away w i t h them e l a c x o could v n e o t h r i e s c o s g o n n i se a stated theG a divided interest between husband an d w if e, h e could only refer the wife to his son for supp or t. Mr. HARDWICKE said, from the stat ement o f M r. Lo . allowance, ad a Generals max, it was quite clear she had no prospect of receiving assistance from her husband. Besides, the state of mind of Captain Lomax, and his general violence towards her, made it quite impossible for her to live again with him. Under these circumstances it appeared to him that it was a question for General Lomax to determine, whether it would not be the most advisable course, instead of pay ing the whole allowance to his son, to set aside a portion of it for the use of his daughter-in-law and his infant granddaughter. Mr. Lomax could not recommend the General to adopt this course. Mr. HARDWICKE said that he had hoped, from the respectable situation in society occupied by General Lo max, that some arrangement would have been made to prevent extreme measures being used. Mrs. Lomax was in so deplorable a state of destitution as to render a re sort to parish relief inevitable, consequently it would be necessary that a warrant should iss ue aga i nst Captain Lomax, and if he did not satisfy the parish he would be sent to the House of Correction. Mr. Lomax said ho would not interfere, nor would General Lomax, to check the operation of the law. WORSHIP-STREET. PRECOCIOUS VILLANY.—Jinnes Ilor#'orth and William Neville, two lads in the service of Mr. Henry Le Lievre, an extensive s ilk dyer in Cleveland -street, Mile -end road, were brought up fur final examination, charged upon their own confession with having carried on a wholesale system of plunder on their master's premises, Mr. Heritage, who conducted the case, stated that the prisoners had been for several months in Ithe service of the prosecutor, and that almost daily during that period portions of undressed silk had disappeared in an unaccountable manner from the premises. About fifty workmen wore constantly employed at the establishment several of whom had been successively suspected, and consequently discharged from their situations ; and about a week ago the private watchman was also dis missed at a moment's notice, in consequence of another robbery, which had taken place on the previous night, and which the prosecutor inferred could not have been committed without this knowledge and co operation. Shortly after the poor man had been discharged, how ever, the prisoner Horsforth made a voluntary confession to one of his master's female servants, to the effect that the whole of the discarded workmen were entirely innocent of the offence, of which he himself was alone guilty, as he had been in the constant habit of con cealing the silk underneath his clothes, and that he afterwards sold it, and shared the proceeds with the other prisoner. On making the disclosure, the little rascal chuckled in high glee at the disgrace and odium which had fallen upon so many innocent men in conse quence of his successful depredations, and begged her not to mention the matter to any one ; but she refused to accede to his request, and immediately communicated the circumstance to her master, who gave the prisoners into custody. Ellen Cotterel, the girl above referred to, deposed to the communication she had received from Horsforth, as already detailed. Police-constable Smith, of the X division, proved that on taking the prisoners into custody, the lad Neville ad mitted that ho had two shillings as his share of the last booty, and had also participated in the produce of two previous robberies. knamoned t A he nn Mr. BROUGHTON said that it was a most serious offence, and, as the charge had been clearly established against the prisoners, he should order the depositions to be at once taken, and commit them both for trial. The magistrate received information that Daniel t b w y el a ve wo o m 'c u lo n c Crawley, the Irishman who was stabbed on the 3d inst., previousTu soon after The woman who was accused of the murder, and who is now under remand, said that the deceased came into her shop and threw some meat in her face and treated her in dece"ey, rner, da h y ad (E d r i i e d d a).. , and that she put her hands up to protect her self, but without any intention of running the knife into SOUTHWARK. James Ling,a tall thin fellow, well known to the po- lice, was charged before Mr. Seeker with breaking into an uninhabited house, reputed to be haunted, at the corner of Stamford street, and stealing a copper, the property of Mr. Reid, to whom the premises also belong. A policeman of the L division stated that about two o'clock that morning he was passing the house, and per ceiving the hall door open h e en tered, and by the light of his bull's-eye saw the prisoner making his escape at the rear with a large copper on his shoulder. The pri soner, however, dropped the copper, but was secured in his attempt to jump over a high wall. The policeman added that the house in question, with others adjoining in a similar state of dilapidation, gave the police a great deal of trouble, owing to a rumour that they were haunted, which caused crowds to assemble, who demo • lished all tho windows with stones. The prisoner made a singular defence. He said that he was without a home, and seeing the door of the house open he went in for shelter from the rain ; that, while lying down on the staircase, he was alarmed o❑ seeing what he thought was a ball of fire approaching him. Being frightened, he tried to make his escape, and fell over the copper, and then found what he first mis took for a ball of fire was the policeman's bull's-eye lantern. He was committed. A tall emaciated looking woman entered the court nearly at the close of business, and made the following singular statement :—She said that she was an invalid, and that about eighteen months ago she became a pa tient to a mesmeric doctor, and had been frequently operated upon by him at various exhibitions. On the last occasion when he mesmerised her he beat her and brutally ill-used her, and, to add to his iniquities, he had plundered her of almost every article she possessed. She had on various occasions attempted to seek protec tion from his violence, and gave notice to the police of the robbery ; but she being still under mesmeric influ ence was prevented from describing other serious casu aides which had befallen her since she placed herself in such hands. Every time she went out for that purpose she saw the mesmeriser's hand putting paper in her face ; he actually had her mind under control, and at tho present moment she felt under his influence. She here handed in a long written statement, which set forth her grievances. Mr. Seeker, after perusing the paper, said be could not assist her, as the offence which she complained of was committed so long ago. It was very extraordinary on her part that she should allow any person to try ex periments upon her. The best thing she could do, however, was to take the advice of her relatives, who were the best persons to apply to for protection. The applicant, who hastily gathered up her papers, then left the court. HAMMERSMITH. EXTRAORDINARiaREDTL;;:::O;Saturday a young man, shabby-genteelly dressed, about 22 years of age, named James Jones, was brought up before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, on a warrant, charg ing him with obtaining money under false pretences. Margaret Arsltng, a female of respectable appear ance, nearly 40 years of age, deposrd that on the 23d of September last she went to the prisoner's house in James-street, Kensington, and saw him, and told him she had bad a little loss, and he said "I know it, it's linen." I said " No, it's money; 275." The prisoner said if I could afford to give 10s. be would show me the person who took it in a glass. I told him I was a very poor woman, and he then said if I male up my mind to give him 10s. I was to send him a letter in the morning and bring the 10s. in the after noon. The next day I went to his house and saw him, and he asked me if I had got the 10s. I said yes, and he told me to put the money on what I con sidered a funeral pall, and ordered me out of the room He was then alone in the room, an& in two or three minutes he called me back and asked me if I knew the party. I said no. He had three knives in the room,one of which he took up, and pretended to cut his hand. He then took a glass from under the funeral pall, and, putting a candle before it, asked me if that was the per son. I saw the head of a female in the glass. I told him I could swear to nobody, and he asked me if I did not know the -? He then said, Mr. Jones could do no more. Mr. Jones never told a lie ; and shook me by the hand, and said I should be sure to have my money again the following day. I told my master all about it. I have never had the money. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he did not know that he was violating the law by telling fortunes. Mr. CLIME, however, dispelled his ignorance on the matter by sending him to prison for three months, adding to his confinement the comfort of hard labour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYHOUTII, OCT. 9.—The weather continues very boisterous, with the wind at S.W. Yesterday afternoon the chassemaree Marie Victoire, belonging to Fecamp, came i n h ere f rom t h e b anks of Newfoundland. On her first voyage she left Feoainp March 7, and arrived at St. Peter's, Newfoundland, May 5. She carried her cargo (fish) to Rochelle, and on the 25th of July left again for the banks. On the 19th of September, at four o'clock in the afternoon, she encountered a heavy gale of wind from the south west, which swept her decks, and washed off five of her crew; only one of whom, the mate, recovered the vessel. The names of those lost are Louis Claud Chauvin, master, Louis Calosse, Edouard Ficay, and Leopold Malouclin, mariners. The master of the French vessel Lemaire, Jejuhert Ridon, his wife, and five hands, came here yesterday, from Padstow. This vessel, registered 60 tons, belongs to La Brerac, near Brest, and left Newport, Monmouth shire, on the 29th of September, with a cargo of iron. On the sth of Octob • 'r, in a tremendous storm, mainly from the westward, she lost all her sails, and was driven ashore at Point Garron, near Padstow, on the north coast of Cornwall. Soon after quitting her she went to pieces. On Tuesday the cutter belonging to her Majesty's ship America, 50, lying in the Sound, when employed alongside, was upset in a squalL The men were all rescued. On Wednesday a shore boat, containing a man, a boy, and seven women, bound from Stonehouse to her Ma jesty's ship Queen, 110, in the Sound, was upset when near her Majesty's ship America, the crew of which picked them all up. The boy is not likely to recover. All the rest are well. Put in this afternocn, the Greek brig Leonidas, Capt. Dedussi, from Newcastle, hut last from this port, whence she sailed nine days since for Genoa, with loss of sails, spars, and rigging, companion stove in, all the dry pro visions spoiled, and unable to cook in the galley for the last five days, owing to the severity of the weather. 3 o'CLocx P.m.—The Sir David Malcolm, emigration ship, with emigrants on board, has just parted her star board chain-cable in the Sound. She is now riding at her only remaining anchor in the northern part of the merchant anchorage ground. It is low water now, an,l, should the heavy gale blowing from the S.S.W. continue during the rising of the tide, her position, without as sistance, will be one of great danger. OuronEa 10.—The storm from the southward con tinues with very little abatement. No damage hag, however, occurrei in this port. i,f t entering beerinooi:nr i g w tititi to y t afternoon Trinity steam-yacht V es t a l, w hi c h put in here s c a a pt a a g i n e ri b . yesterday s vesselsm h for coal, and was mo ore d i n t h e mouth of the Catwater, i ha rb h u n T a o positioner, b ip gu pe d exposed od Nestor, t damage her e moorings some difficulty, and took shelter in Barnpo o l.

Exchange, 61 premium. There was an unprecedented quantity of timber in store, and the fleet had not arrived. The Nestor - has experienced very heavy weather all the passage home. Sept. 23, fell in with the barque In dustry, of Sligo, Captain Barrett, bound to Quebec, and took from her Capt. W. H. Owen and an apprentice lately belonging to the brig Martha, of and from Holy head. Left August 20, for Quebec. The Martha in hit. 20, went down at two in the afternoon, having been struck by a tremendous sea, which shifted her ballast. The remainder of the crew are on board the Industry, which vessel in the same storm lost her maintopmast and top sail, main and fore trysails, both topgallant masts and royals. On the 21st the Industry passed a large barque of 800 tons, probably outward bound, with loss of main mast and fore and mizen topmasts. On the 28th of Sep tember the Nestor passed a large full-rigged ship, 500 or 600 tons, with all her sails blown away. On the Sth of October, spoke the barque Hannah Robertson, lying to, bound from Liverpool to Cadiz, all well. The bark Spermaceti, Captain Moon, came in this morning, leaky, from Quebec. Left 10th of October. In lon. 31 W., lat. 47 N., saw a very large ship totally abandoned ; in all probability the Lady Raffles, already reported. In lat. 37 or 38; : ,N., passed a brigantine be longing to Dartmouth in a similar condition. Shortly after fell in with a Scotch brig, sunk to the water's edge, and all the masts gone. Hove to, but there was no one on board. Saw also a disabled ship belonging to St. Andrew's, and passed several other damaged vessels. The Sidney emigration ship Sir D. Malcolm, in the Sound, has been supplied with a second anchor. SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.—The wind is gone more to the westward, and the weather has moderated, but there is yet a very heavy sea on. The schooner Sorciere, Cape Jausseaurand, of Guern sey, has just come in, in 24 days from Cephalonia, with currants. PROMOTIONS.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY, OCT. 11.--The Lords of the Admiralty announced their intention yesterday to Sir Charles Ogle of visiting this port officially to-morrow. Orders were received on Friday evening by telegraph from the Lords of the Admiralty, in reply to the report of the arrival of the St. Vincent, for that ship to remain at the anchorage at Spithead, with orders for Commo dore Sir Francis Collier to keep his broad pendant flying on board, and also for Captain Shepherd to continue in command. Other orders from their Lordships were re ceived yesterday afternoon for the St. Vincent to come into harbour, but as it was too late then for her to come in, as the tides are neaping, an endeavour will be made to get her in to-morrow. If unsuccessful, she must re main at Spithead until the next spring tides. The Belvidera provision and troop-ship, Master-Com mander Peter Wellington, was undocked yesterday, when the Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, was docked to repair a trifling defect, prior to returning to the coast of Ireland for the winter. The Vengeance, 84, built at Pembroke in 1824, on the lines of the Canopus, of 2,284 tons, ordered for im mediate commission at this port, is intended to be the flag-ship on the Irish station, and will probably carry the flag of Sir Thomas Usaher, who, it will be remem bered, we some time since stated would succeed the pre sent Commander-in-Chief (Sir Hugh Pigott) on the above station. The weather has been for the last few days exceed ingly boisterous here, and high tides have committed much destruction to property along shore. Double and quadruple fares have been charged nearly every day for a passage across the harbour either way ; and the anchorage at Spithead has been signalled by flags from the Market-house, Gosport, as dangerous for watermen to attempt to make. The men-of-war have been at- Londe.' upon by the Myrtle steamer, Master-Commander Balliston, their boats being almost useless in conse quence of the high sea. On Monday, after the court. martial, it was found that the officers could not get back to their ships at Spithead, so violently was the gale. Yesterday it was similarly heavy, and to-day it bids fair to increase. HIGHLAND PASSES. The notice which our northern contemporaries have taken of our remarks on the attempt to close up Glen Lui Beg, in the Cairngorm mountains, shows us that we have done a negative injustice in stating that Scottish landlords are not chargeable with the same exclusive spirit. There is at least, we find, one flagrant example in the case of the Athol property, still in the same hands in which it has been fur some years, though the title has recently fallen to a new holder. When we heard that the Duke of Athol was stopping access to Glen Tilt, we at first believed that some accidental circumstance had given rise to the rumour, for the path through the glen is an old highway . which has been used for centuries, and is !mentioned in all the guide-books and itineraries, and aid down in all the maps, as the thoroughfare from the valley of the Tay to that of the Dee. We have now, how ever, ascertained beyond >a doubt, that the example of the Duke of Leeds has been followed by his neighbour. A few more such examples will effectually close the high lands. Every one knows how easily mountain passes are de fended, and how effectually in turbulent times the inte rior country has been preserved by small forces at the ex tremities of the glens. This is the policy about to be pursued by the game preservers in the highlands; and we may see in the two instances before us, how effective it will be if the law allow it. The valley through which the Glen Tilt road passes is about twenty miles long. It has been generally used by travellers passing on foot or on horseback from the borders of the Tay to Brae mar and the other villages in the upper districts of Aberdeenshire. The distance by this path from Blair Athol at the opening of Glen Tilt to Braemar is twenty-six miles; and if the traveller submits to be turned back by the Duke of Athol's servants, his nearest route is to descend to Blair Gowrie, and pro ceed by Spital of Glenshie, provided he do not find when he reaches it that that pass also is closed. He will thus add at least thirty miles to his previous dis tance of twenty-six. To put one's fellow-beings to so much inconvenience is a great privilege, and the man who can do it may well boast of his power, if " %were done when 'tis done." The extremity of the pass through Glen Tilt touches the territories of the Duke of Leeds. We are not quite sure whether his Grace's interdict extends to this point; but if it do so, the whole of the mountain district between the Tay and the Spey will be isolated and unapproach able. If the reader desires to have an idea of the extent of territory thus closed up, he will find that he can easily mark it on an ordinarily large map of Europe. If the law which the Duke of Athol prescribes to himself were law on the Alps, four or five proprietors could cut off the intercourse between Italy and the rest of Europe. We are mistaken in the character of the people of Scot land if they submit to this.—Examiner.

The extra supply of stock for sale has in most instances been sufficient to meet the requirements for the termina tion of outstanding transactions, without producing higher prices, and sellers continue to preponderate on the Leeds market to-day. Old stocks are all lower, and a desire to realise upon them is very apparent. We partly attribute this to the demand for money for mercantile purposes. A very extensive business has been passing In Orntskirks during the week, which has caused an improvement of about 10s. per share in them; and York and North Midland East and West Ridings, and New Darlingtons are also higher.

I -MPORTATION OFTOBACCO.—The revenue autho rities having had under their consideration an applica ti.n referring to the 14th section of the Warehousing Act, 8 and 9 Vic. cap. 91, by which it is enacted, that " within one month after any tobacco shall have been warehoused, the proper officers of Customs shall take a particular account of the same ;" and requesting, as to bacco cannot be sampled in warm weather, without, in jury to the article, that the weighing thereof may be deferred to a future period in certain cases ; and being of opinion that when parties are desirous of deferring the weighing of the tobacco, not for an indefinite period, until it suit their convenience either to sample or weigh the same for duty, there is no objection to packages of unmanufactured tobacco being weighed gross upon importation, and the marked tare, if any, or an esti mated tare allowed thereon, in the same manner as is directed to be observed by their order of July, 1826, with regard to packages of cigars. Orders have been issued to the principal officers of the several departments, to permit the same in future accordingly. This order will be a source of great convenience to the importers and dealers in tobacco, and will be of interest and im portance to the trade. THE LATH HANGING BY THE LEG CASE.—The wmaasnaWecaidlkenerta, lwlyhhoumngoubry the readers will ina recollect tree, we stated of Winslow, a b out a fortnight since, from winhitchhe stealing th e b ranches, expired suddenly on Sunday last, he parish was the 4th instant. There is something remarkable in the circumstances by which the deceased primarily met his death, as considered in connexion with an incorrigible Propensity to wood stealing that has been evinced by him for a series of years, in obtaining and conveying away of which he exhibited an agility and deception peculiarly his own. Although his years were upwards of seventy, he would scale the loftiest trees, and secure his favourite plunder under the most adverse circumstance. He was in receipt of a pension earned in military service, and it would appear that the martial daring of early life sur vived and assumed in the " old soldier" an utter defiance of the civil penalties which his practices incurred. So confirmed were his habits in this particular vice of wood larceny, that fines and imprisonments, though frequently visited upon the delinquent, were ineffectual in breaking the spell of his darling peccadillo, until, like Milo essay in,- to rend the oak of the forest, he forfeited his life as the penalty of his continued temerity. A coroner's in quest was held on his remains, and a verdict of " Acci dental death" recorded.—Bucks .Herald. DEATH OF A CONVICT BY DROWNING.----021 Thurs day afternoon, about two o'clock, a convict of the War rior hulk, named Turner, while at work unloading timber from a London trading vessel, overbalanced himself and fell into the river. A waterman's boat was promptly on the spot, and every exertion made to save him, but he disappeared almost instantaneously at the stern of the vessel. The same convict fell into the river about twelvemonths ago in a nearly similar manner as the pre sent, which has proved fatal, and it was with the greatest difficulty he was saved the first time.
