PONTOP AND SOUTII SHIELDS RAILWAY COMPANY. A meeting of the proprietors of the Pontop and South Shields Railway Company was held yesterday afternoon at the offices, Guildhall-buildings, for the purpose of con sidering the terms of an agreement for the sale of the line to the York and Newcastle (late Newcastle and Darlington) Railway Company ; M. B. Rennie, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the proprietors must b,t aware that for some time their property was considered as sold to the York and Newcastle Company. The agree ment had never assumed a specific form until re cently, and the sum offered and accepted by th© direc tors was 450,0001., which would nearly comprise all the liabilities and share property of the company. The agreement the directors bad entered into was to the following effect :—Subject to the approval of the proprietors, the York and Newcastle Company would take possession of the line on the Ist of January next, together with all its debts and liabilities—the latter to be paid by the purchasers within two years, in half-yearly instalments. fie considered it a good bar gain for all parties, and begged leave to move that the directors be authorised to do all that was necessary to carry the agreement into effect. A PROPRIETOR seconded the proposition. A long conversation followed, in the course of which it appeared, from the statements of the secretary, that the capital and mortgage debt were limited by their Acts of Parliament, and that the 450,0001. would, after satisfying the liabilities, pay about 75f per share. Ulti mately the resolution was passed, with only one dissen tient, and, after a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL The general court-martial, at Chatham Barracks, on Captain Bull, of the 57th regiment, on tfte charge of putting Major Shadforth, his superior officer, in arrest, and assuming the command of the head-quarters of the regiment, while on board the ship Mary Anne, in Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, having concluded the case for the prosecution on Tuesday, we may now give a short account of the proceedings since the 10th instant. Previous to being sworn, Major Shadforth said it was with deep regret that he came forward in the unenviable position of prosecutor in the present inquiry - but ha felt bound to do so, both for the public good, and good of the service. He thought the accused had been urged to do as he had done by interested individuals, unacquainted with military disci line. On being sworn, he said, I came home in command of the head-quarters of the 57th Regi ment. On July 9th, 1846, when at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on board the barque Mary Anne, about midnight, the prisoner came to my cabin door, aid said, " Mr. Allen, the master of the ship, has reported to me that you came on board the ship in a state of intoxica tion. I think it my duty to order you in arrest." At this time I had been upwards of an hour in bed. When I came on deck the following morning, at eight o'clock, I went on the poop. Shortly afterwards the prisoner came up to me, and said, "Are you aware, Major Shad- forth, that I came to your cabin last night and ordered you under arrest." I replied, " Yes, and a-- piece of impertinence on your part ; you want to assume the command of the , regiment ;" he then went away. The acting adjutant, Lieutenant Grant, was on the poop, and I called to him to send for the regi mental order-book, and insert therein, " That I wished to meet the whole of the officers at 10 a. e. that day." He refused to obey my order. As I was leaving the poop I said, in a loud tone of voice, addressing Captain Bull, " It is my positive orders that no officer leave the ship without my permission." I then sent for the ser geant-major of the regiment, and ordered him to put in the pass-order book, " That I wished to meet the whole of the officers that morning at ten o'clock." I then went breakfast, after which, Captain Stanley, of the 57th Regiment, under my command, reported to me in writing, that he had been placed under arrest by Captain Bull. I found Captain Bull had quitted the ship in disobedience of my orders. Captain Buil had been detailed as cap tain of the day, for the 10th July, in his regular tour of duty. He rema i ne d a b sen t f rom th e s hip till the morning of the 11th July, when he returned on board. Major Shadforth called, as his witnesses Captain Stanley, Assistant-Surgeon Jackson, and private James M'Clister, the orderly of the day. Captain Bull, by his witnesses, as a justification for what he had done, produced evidence to prove that Major Shadforth and Lieutenants Hunt and Logan returned on board on the night of the 9th July, in a state of intoxi cation, and that he was called up from his bed by the captain of the ship in consequence thereor, that officer representing to him that there was danger to be appre hended from the state in which the officers had retired to their cabins with lighted candles. To prove this state ment, A. P. Allen, the commander of the ship, was called, and he alleged that the major, when he came on board, fell upon the deck, and staggered to the cuddy; and other witnesses spoke to the state of the two lieutenants, who were described as being extremely noisy ; and Lieut. Sweton Grant, then acting adjutant, who was ordered by Capt. Bull to go their cabin and sea to the light, stated that he found one of them lying on his bed, and the other so intoxicated that he was obliged to help him into his cot. In explanation of Capt. Bull's absence, it appeared that he went to Cape Town to represent the affair to the authorities there, and returned with an order for the major's arrest, and a court of inquiry followed, when the major was rein stated in his command, and Captain Bull ordered into close arrest, for having unjustifiably ordered his com manding officer into arrest. Mr. Allen, and Mr. Prinne, the surgeon of the ship, appear to have been the parties who expressed their alarm for the safety of the ship, and this led to the steps taken by Captain Bull. It was stated by one of the witnesses that the major and the master of the vessel had always appeared on good terms; but it was elicited, in the cross-examination, that Major Shadforth had complained of the state of the ship, say ing he did not consid e r h er seawort h y , an d t h at h e should report her as such; and it seems it was found necessary to caulk her waterways by men-of-war's men, after a visit by some naval officers. Mr. Prinne, the surgeon, having left the country, the prisoner produced his written evidence, accompanied by an affidavit made before one of the judges at Westminster; but this was rejected, after submitting the same to the Judge Advo cate-General, through the Horse Guards. It appeared that up to the 9th of July Major Shadforth and the pri soner, as well as all the other officers, had been on those friendly terms which usually exist between officers of the same corps. For the defence, Captain Bull called, besides Mr. Allen, the commander of the Mary Anne, William Woodbury and William Hunter, cuddy servants ; Lieu tenant Grant, Lieutenant Chads, and Major Garvick, of the 31st R eg i men t, th e l a t ter being called to character, having served with him in the 10th Regiment in 1839. The evidence on both sides beine. completed. Captain Bull asked for time to prepare hi:defence. The Cour will therefore meet on Monday next, when the same wi be read. To Major-General Brotherton, the President, the thanks of the members of the press are justly due for his attention to their accommodation throughout the pro ceedings. SUICIDE OF MAJOR R. F. EAMES, LATE of THE 47TH FOOT—MADRAS ARMY. Last evening the adjourned inquest on the body of Major Richard Fairfax Eames, aged 50, who committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart, on the morning of Wednesday last, under circumstances which were given in this journal of Saturday, was resumed be fore Mr. Bedford, the coroner, at the Prince Albert Hotel, Leicester-place. Mr. llamlyn Nott, assistant surgeon in the Madras service, said he knew the deceased intimately. About 18 months back he embarked with him from India, on board ship. He found him at times highly excited; so much so, that, in conversation, all persons were obliged to be very guarded. He had retired from the service, having been invalided on account of an affection of the brain. Nile took the smallest quantity of wine or spirits he became so excited as almost to amount to insanity. During the voyage he frequently shut himself in his cabin, and was heard muttering and making all sorts of remarks on his fellow-passengers. On one occasion the captain of the ship, in the course of conversation, mentioned " Dutch courage," upon which the major became considerably excited, and said he would not allow such language in his prasence, as he was an officer and a gentleman. The last time he saw him alive was about a fortnight back, when he appeared must cheerful, and told him that he was about purchasing a shooting-box near Reading. Ile was a native of Ireland, and was generally most cheerful. Mr. William Day, solicitor, of No. 1, Queen -street, Mayfair, said :he was applied to by the deceased, who was introduced by Captain White, to negotiate for the purchase of a small estate near Maidenhead. He then appeared of a very nervous temprament. Witness only saw him twice. The night before he committed the act of suicide witness received a letter from him, in which he requested him, if he had not gone too far, to break off the purchase. Inspector Wball, of the C division, produced the fol lowing letter, which was Round in the room where de ceased shot himself. It was in the deceased's hand writing, and was addressed "James Clarke, Esq., Post office, Dublin : "Prince Albert Hotel, Leicester-square. " Dear James,—Long before this reaches, the hand that penned will be closed in death. From insinuations and inuendos thrown out at various times that I have sacrificed my honour and reputation in some way or the other, why I know not, I find this world no longer worth living in, and throw off the mortal and become an immortal. The rest who knows? You must take care how you break the news to my dearest sister, whose fondness and goodness of heart I have so little deserved. On you must devolve the task of breaking it out to all. My things you will find at 61, Jermyn-street, and my body, I suppose, will remain here. I have been suffering much in body and mind for the last three days ; in fact, from fancy or some demon or another, I am more like a man beside himself. Coutts and Co. are my bankers, and the cheque-book is at my lodgings. I have 10,000 rupees ; let 5,000 re main at interest for my daughter. Now, God bless you and yours. : I d o not know what my poor dear brother Be yami n will say. Kiss them a ll f or th e sa k e o f t h e i r un happy uncle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Dec. 17. COLEMAN P. THE DIRECTORS OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. His HoNoun. delivered judgment in this case to-Jay, which came before the Court upon a motion on the part of the defendants to dissolve an injunction that had been obtained by the plaintiff. The question at issue was one of the greatest importance to the public. There were five parties to be considered in this matter :—the Eastern Counties Railway Company, the Eastern Union Railway Company, the Harwich Steam-packet Company, the plaintiff, and the public. The plaintiff was a shareholder in the Eastern Counties Railway, which by its Act was invested with very extensive powers. Railways were of so comparatively recent an existence that neither the Le gislature nor courts of law had been able to consider those powers in all the lights, relations, and operations in which they should be regarded, to enable them to be correctly dealt with. However, general princip!es must be applied to them where such were appli cable. To look at a railway as a common partnership .would be hardly sufficient to estimate it, its powers being so vast, and the exercise of them so influential on private and public interests. The Act, in his opinion, gave no further powers to railway com panies than it stated, or, at all events, than were necessary for carrying out what was set forth, which latter was not always very clear. It had been stated that power was given to railway companies to enter into new trans actions, and it had been contended that they were em powered to use the funds of the company in any way they thought was calculated to increase the traffic of the undertaking. But in no Act on the subject was there power given of the nature contended for. He did not mean to enter into the question of the advantage which the project, proposed by the defendants, might confer on the railway or the public. It might even be a national benefit, but in effecting it the directors would be dealing with millions of the capital of the railway under their direction. They would be applying this to the support of the Harwich Steam-packet Company to an extent of 150,0001. or 390,0001. But they not only proposed to do this by giving an interest of 5 per cent. out of the funds of the railway company, but they even guaranteed to secure, from the same source, those who should embark in this steam-packet company, against all loss in the event of its failure. Now, there was nothing in the Act of Parliament to authorise this. He did not attach much importance to the consent of the majority at a - meeting to embark in the proposed undertaking, for it could not confer legality upon that which they had no authority or power to perform. Be sides, it was well known that the motives which fre quently obtained acquiescence in certain speculators, were no other than an extravagant cupidity to obtain a larger return than they were at present realising, or a terror of entering into a contest with those who were more powerful than themselves. From these con siderations he would not dissolve the injunction. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 17. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LUCAS. This was a petition on which exceptions were taken to the Master's report. The defendant, Mr. Lucas, had married the daughter of the petitioners (Mr. and Mrs. Jago), who was only 18 years of age, and entitled to property to the amount of 20,0001. The Master's finding would, if carried out, give the defendant a power over the property of the wife, which, it was contended, was at variance with the spirit and terms of the Act of Par liament, which provided, that a husband marrying under these circumstances should not derive any pecuniary bene fit from the estate of his wife, nor be placed in a situation to exercise any power over its disposition. The case turned entirely upon the construction of the Act of Parliament, which the defendant's counsel contended never contem plated an interpretation so stringent as that sought to be established by the petitionurs, which, if carried cut, would operate meat injuriously, depriving the wife of the power of rewarding her husbrid for kind treatment. Mr. Romilly appeared in support of the petition, and Mr. Tinney for the defendant. His lioNoun deferred judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 17. HOOPER AND ANOTHER V. TREFFEY. In this case Mr. Gurney and Mr. Baddeley appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Crowder, with whom was Mr. M. Smith, appeared for the defendant. It appeared that tho defendant, who was a gentle man of considerable property, residing at Fowey, and the proprietor of a considerable extent of woodland, was anxious to dispose of a quantity of the bark from the trees upon his estate. A sample was accordingly sent to a friend of his, residing in London, who waited upon the petitioner with the sample, and was referred by him to Purday's Tavern, Leadenhall-market, a house much frequented by per sons in the tanning trade. Upon that occasion, he met a person of the name of Thomson, who approved of the sample, and agreed to purchase a quantity of it for the plaintiff. A schooner, freighted with about 80 tons of the bark shortly after arrived at Leith, for the perstin who had agreed to purchase the article in London. The plaintiffs had previously given their acceptance to the defendant for the amount of the bark, which had since been paid. Upon the delivery of the cargo to the purchaser, Mr. Thomson, it was disco vered that it was not according to sample, and also that it was much damaged by the effects of the weather. Mr. CILOWDER contended that there was no ground fur the present action by the plaintiff against the de fendant. The sole party aggrieved, if any, was Mr. Thomson, the purchaser of the cargo, and he was the party who should have brought the action. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that he would reserve that point. Mr. CaowDEa then contended that the cargo was originally equal to sample, and proceeded to call wit nesses. It appeared, however, from the cross•examination of one of them, that the sample originally sent up was not of the same quality as the cargo. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff fur the sum claimed. ADMIRALTY COURT, Dec. 17. (Before Dr. LUSHINGTON.) THE GAZELLE COLLISION. This was a suit brought by the owners of the schooner Despatch, to recover compensation for the loss sustained by them in a collision between their vessel and the schooner Gazelle. The schooner (of 18 tons), laden with coals, on the 21st of January last, was steering S. and by E. about ten miles off the South Dudgeon Light. The Gazelle was bearing off N.N.W. half W. The wind was blow ing strong, the night dark and hazy, and the rate of the steamer was eight miles an hour. The steamer struck her: ❑ear the paddle-box, and she herself sunk almost immediately, and for this (total) loss the suit was brought. The course taken by the two vessels on near ing, and seeinz each other, was that the helm of the Gazelle was put to port, the helm of the schooner hard a starboard. These were the main facts, and the ques tions raised upon them were chiefly—Was the steamer justified in a dark night, in such a situation, in sailing at such a rate? Ought she not to have eased her engines? When the accident became inevitable, had each vessel adopted the proper course ? Drs. Joiner and Doane were for the schooner ; Dr. Addams and Dr. Phillimore for the owners of the Ga zelle. Dr. LUSIIINGTON was assisted by Captain Baynton arid Captain Ferrer of the Trinity House, and in sum ming up to them the facts of the case, said that it was moot important that the rule of navigation for steamers should be" distinctly understood. The rule had been laid down that steamers should give way to :merchant ships, fur they were considered in the position of sailing vessels having the wind fair, and such vessels were always bound to give way. That rule had been laid down, and unless the Trinity Masters thought it wrong its observance should ba insisted upon. The first question, however, here was, whether the rate of the steamer in a dark night, in a sea crowded with colliers, was not too rapid? Ought not her engines to have been eased? If the col. lision were attributable to her, she must bear the loss ; but if the schooner had also done wrong in starboarding her helm, the damage must be borne between them. The Trinity Masters held that the orders given to starboard the helm were given simultaneously with the accident. They exonerated the schooner from all blame. The steamer was to blame in going at such a speed in a thronged thoroughfare. The COURT accordingly pronounced for the damage, with costs. THE SUN, LON)ON, FRIDAY _EVEN N 69 DECEMBER 18, 1846 THE VANCOUVER-SALVAGE. This was a claim for salvage by the crew of a lugger, ,he Stag, and the owners of the steamer Robert Bruce, For services rendered to the Vancouver. The latter (laden with timber), while on a voyage from New Brunswick to the port of London, had been run into in the Channel by a French brig, the Union, of Dunkirk. She had received considerable damage, and her master employed the services of the lugger in consequence of his ship "being in a disabled state." On the 26th of August the service of the lugger commenced, but, making little way, the aid of the steamer was obtained, and from near the Seaford Roads the Vancouver was towed to London. The service lasted for four or five days, and the value of the ship saved was 5,0001. A tender of 2001. was offered, but though subsequently raised to 2501., had been refused. Dr. haggard and Dr. Bayford were for the salvers ; Dr. Ad.lains and Dr. Robinson appeared for the owners. Dr. LUSIIINGTON, thinking that the services of steamers ought, within rea3onable bounds, to be encourage d , held that the tender was insufficient, and increased it by the addition of 100/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Bland, the landlord of the Brown Bear, in Leman -street, was indicted for making a violent assault on Michael Petrowich, an Austrian sailor, with intent to do him some grevious bodily harm. Mr. Ryland was retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Prendergast, with Mr. Iluddlestone, appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that, on the sth of December, he went to the Brown Bear with a friend, where, after stopping some time, he was struck over the head and face with a staff, and so much hurt that he was taken to, the London Hospit a l, where he remained nine days under surgical care. It appeared, by the evidence of several witnesses, that on the night in question a disturbance ensued in consequence of a glass beino , broken, for which Petrowich was required to pay. This he refused, and the landlord, in endeavouring to c:ear the house, struck him on the head with a constable's staff. The policeman who took Petrowich into custody, at the instance of Mr. Brand, gave him an excellent cha racter for the quiet conduct of his house; but stated the neighbourhood to be such, that in public-houses there it sometimes required force to keep order. On the part of the prisoner, witnesses were brought to show that the disturbance arose in consequence of the prosecutor refusing to pay for a glass which he had himself broken, and that he was not struck until he had drawn a dagger, which ho brandished to the evident danger of tho6e around him, and especially of the pri soner, at whom he had made a rush with the naked weapon, and was only with difficulty restrained. After a lengthened trial, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, to the very evident satisfaction of a crowded court. During the trial a witness, of the name of Nolan, was brought forward for the prosecution, who entered the witness-box in a state of intoxication. After seve ral efforts to induce him to act with propriety he was transferred from the box to the bar, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment, for contempt of Court. The prisoners Miller and Scott, who pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing plated goods, of the value of 464, were brought up for judgment. The Learned JUDGE said that he had con sidered the application made yesterday, and had consulted with his Learned Brother. It was agreed between them that the crime was a very ag gravated larceny, in which there were no alleviating features, but, oa the contrary, one deserving a severe punishment ; and the sentence of the Court was, that they be transported beyond the seas for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. Robert Warrington Crowther, who was charged at this Court at few days ago with uttering fraudulent orders for the payment of money, was brought up fur re-ex amination. It will be remembered that the prisoner presented himself at Trinity Church, Sloane-street, with two ladies and a marriage license, on the morning of yesterday week, and having been united to one of the ladies, paid the fees with an order for 5/. upon Messrs. Dixon, of Chancery-lane, and received the change. It being as certained that there was no account in that name at the bank, the prisoner was taken into custody. On the prisoner being placed in the dock, Mr. Clarkson, who attended on behalf of Messrs. Dixon and Co., said he had a fresh charge to prefer against the accused, for forging a cheque for 301. He went into a brief statement of the facts, as afterwards proved in evidence, and called Mi. Montague Sharman, solicitor and clerk of indict ments in Middlesex and Surrey, who stated that the pri soner had been employed in his office. He never gave the accused any authority to draw cheques in his name. Witness kept an account at Messrs. Dixons', and he believed the cheque produced to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. The cheque was handed in and was as follows : " London, Dec. 4, 1846, " Meyers, Dixon and Co.—Please pay Mr. Self or bearer thirty pounds. "MONTAGUE SHARMAN." Mr. Sharman, in concluding his evidence, begged to say that it was his impression that the prisoner %as insane. Mr. Walker, a clerk at the banking-house, proved that the cheque was brought to the firm at the busiest hour of the busiest day in the week. It was cashed at about four o'clock on Saturday, Dec. 5, three 101. notes been given. Evidence was given tracing one or two of these notes to the prisoner. A fraudulent order for money, found upon the prisoner when apprehended, which was in the same handwriting as the cheque, was here put in. The accused, who frequently looked vacantly around him, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, replied, " I drew the cheques because I had an account at Dixons'." Mr. Clarkson re-called Mr. Walker, who said that the prisoner had never had an account with the firm during the last twenty years. The prisoner observed, " I paid 4001. into your bank in 1841." The prisoner eras fully committed for trial upon two charges. Mr. Henry Newton, described as a surgeon, residing at Kensington, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. %V elh.on Muinl'ord Nurse, a magistrate for the county of Middlesex, residing at No. 4, Upper Gore, K.,nsington. Complainant stated that he was walking along Kniglihbride, on his way home, at about ten on the previou.; evening, when he heard a person in a cab abusing the driver in the most violent manner, and call ing upon him to stop. Toe cabman did so, and de fendant got out of the cab, when complainant observed that they were both intoxicated, the driver being a trifle more so than his fare. Defendant refused to ply the driver, and the latter having followed him, a policeman came up. Complainant, who had not before in any way interfered, observed to the constable that the defendant ought to pay the driver, and if his demand were illegal, could take his remedy against him afterwards; upon which defendant asked him what he was, and upon his inform. ing him that he was a magistrate, and resided in the neighbourhood, the defendant applied the most offensive epithets to him, and seizing him by the breast, shook him violently, and nearly tore the front of his coat off. Defendant seized complainant more than once, and shook him, but did not strike him. A witness was about to be called, when *Defendant observed that he wished to admit all that had been said by the complainants. A severe domestic affliction had induced him to take too much to drink, but bagged he to express his deep regret at what had occurred. Mr. BURRELL said it was a gross assault, and fined him 51., which was paid. W 0118111P-STR E E 7. A young man named John Ambrose, who was recog nised by the police as a convicted thief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a quantity of lace and other articles of haberdashery, the property of Mr. John Morris, a linendraper at Rom ford, and also with cutting and wounding, with intent to murder, George Pettit, a City police-constable, who effected his apprehension. It appeared from the evidence, that while the con stable was on duty in Petticoat lane, at ten o'clock on the preceding evening, his attention was attracted to the prisoner, who was proceeding stealthily along with a basket upon his shoulder, and evidently desirous of avoiding observation. On reaching the end of the street he turned his head, and observing that he was followed, threw down the basket and attempted to escape, but was pursued by the witness, who grappled with him, and they both fell. While struggling together upon the ground an accomplice of the prisoner came up, and on the pre tence of assisting the witness raised the prisoner upon his feet, when the latter drew some sharp instrument from his pocket and made a violent stab with it at his left breast, which he warded off with his arm. The prisoner continued stabbing at him six or seven other times in rapid succession, when the witness closed with him, and having succeeded at length in throwing him down, held him there until the arrival of another officer, when he was overpo*ered and secured. Police-constable M‘Michin, 131 H, stated, that in consequence of receiving an intimation that a City policeman was surrounded by a gang of thieves, who were in the act of murdering him, he hastened to the scene of the encountcr and found the first witness strug gling with the prisoner upon the ground, and bleeding copiously from several wounds in the arm. They were surrounded by a mob of at least 100 of the worst charac ters in the district, none of whom offered the slightest assistance to the officer, and it was only after a violent contest that the prisoner was taken into custody. A certificate from Mr. Meares, the divisional surgeon, describing the nature of the injuries the policeman had sustained, was handed up to the magistrate, and Mr. George Child, the City police surgeon, attended, and stated that Pettit had received no less than eight wounds in the arm, one of which was of a very deep and danger ous description, and it was impossible at present'to say what would be the result of the injuries. Henry Finnis, 633 of the City police, produced the basket which the prisoner had thrown away in his flight, containing a quantity of point lace, cambric handker chiefs, and other articles of value, which were identified by Mr. Mori is, from whose cart they had been clandes tinely abstracted during its transit through Church street, Bethnal-green, about two hours previous to the prisoner's capture. The prisoner was identified by several officers in court as a notorious pickpocket, who had been more than once convicted, and who also had been repeatedly in custody for savage assaults upon the police. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner gave a general denial to the charge, and said that he had no knife or other weapon of a like description in his posses sion at the time the constable was wounded in the man. ner he stated. Mr. BINGHAM expressed his intention to commit the prisoner for trial upon the twofold charge of felony and attempting to murder the policeman, but ordered him to be remanded for the formal completion of the evidence. THAMES. The officers, crew, and others belonging to the Glenelg frigate, formerly an East Indianaln, and which was fitted out for the purpose of an invasion of the Ecuador, and seized by the Government for an infringement of the Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act, came to this court in a body, for the purpose of seeking redress at the hands of Mr. Ballantine, the magistrate, for what they considered an illegal and tyrannical act on the part of her Majesty's Government, in ejecting them from the ship by force., This proceeding was effected yesterday morning at ten o'clock by Mr. Forsayth, an officer of the Customs, who was attended by upwards of one hundred of the Thames and K divisions of police. Resistance was anticipated, but the appearance of the Custom-house officers and police in such great numbers, and an intimation that more force was at hand had the desired effect. After some wrangling, the officers and crew, together with the emigrants and recruits, were ejected from the ship. They immediately proceeded to the Thames Police -court, and the passages and avenues leading to it were for some time blocked up by the motley group of adventurers. With the exception of the officers and sailors, a more wretched-looking set of men were never collected together. It was said that a majority of them hsd been inmates of various metro politan workhouses before they joined General Flores' expedition. After the disposal of the n i g ht c h arges , Mr. Vissey, a solicitor, who was accompanied by several gentlemen, addressed the magistrate, and said he had an application to make on behalf of the officers and crew of the ship Glenelg. which had been seiz.d by the Custom-houie authorities, acting under instructions from her Majesty's Government. He regretted to say that he had only just been consulted, and was not prepared with a detailed statement of the case, which he understood was one of peculiar hardship. Ho would therefore call upon Mr. Briggs, the second officer of the ship, who would make a statement of a very startling nature. Mr. Briggs said, that Mr. Forsayth boarded the Glenelg at breakfast time, and in a very rude and uncourteous manner ordered every one in the ship to leave her di rectly, and would not allow the officers to finish their meal, or any of the paople to pack up their clothes and goods. He was sure that Mr. Forsayth was in a state of intoxicSion, and on his being remonstrated with, and asked why the officers, crew, and emigrants were to br• turned adrift, he said, " If the cause in which they hal been engaged had been a good one he would have sup ported all of them, but as they were engageti!inja bad cause they must all turn out of the vessel." Some of the police then directed Mr. Campbell, the paymaster, to quit the ship immediately, and, on his refusal to do so, he was seized by several police-constables, who forcibly put him over the ship's side. He (Mr. Briggs) was likewise turned out in the same rude manner, and the crew and emigrants were driven from the ship like a herd of cattle, and were not allowed to remain in the do:.k. Mr. Campbell And himself made an attempt to get on board again, but were repulsed and compelled to leave the dock. They appealed to Evans, of the Thames police, who had the direction of that force, and he said he was only acting under orders from the Commissioners of Police. Mr. BALLANTINE inquired where the transaction took place ?—Mr. Briggs replied, in the East India Dock, and said that Mr. Campbell was seized by three constables of the Thames police, who led him to the dock gate, and then turned him out. Mr. BALLANTINE said the applicant must show that he was legally on board the Glenelg, and that he was placad in his situation by competent authority, before he could interfere. _ _ Mr. Briggs said he was the regularly appointed se cond mate of the ship, and had entered into articles of agreement with Captain Frederick Geare, the com • mander, who was a British subject, to proceed on a voyage to Ferrol, or any other port in Spain, and was to receive monthly wages. He entered into the contract the same as he would have done in any other merchant ship sailing from this port. The articles were of the ordinary description, and signed by the master and crew. _ _ BALLANTINE said, it was well known the Glenelg was one of three vessels forming an intended expedition which had been intercepted by her Majesty's Govern ment, who ordered the vessels to be seized and confis cated. There was no doubt something irregular in the equipment of the ships and the purposes of the expedi tion, or the Government would not have adopted such proceedings. He could not grant a warrant or a sum mons, or interfere in any way whatever. The transac tion was one of a highly illegal nature, and none of the people who had been ejected from the vessel had any business there at all. The Government, if it thought proper, could indict every person connect e d w ith G e n era l Flores' expedition. He would have nothing whatever to do with the case, unless he was asked for warrants against the parties who got up and joined the expedition. Mr. Campbell, the paymaster, produced the ship's articles to show they were of the ordinary description, and said he had also joined the Glenelg, and was to pro ceed by Ferrol by the run, and his passage was to be paid back to England. He complained of the rough and unceremonious way in which he had been treated, but he more particularly complained - that a number of poor men, in a most destitute condition, had been turned out of the vessel into the snow, some with no clothes at all on, and others only half-dressed. One man, whose collar- bone was broken was, despite his sufferings, turned out of his berth, and was then in the court, with a counterpane over his shoulders. Two sick and disabled men were also thrust out of their berths into the snow. He trusted that the magistrate would sympathise with the sufferings of the poor men who were going out in the Glenelg as emigrants. Any relief extended to them would be most gratefully acknowledged. Mr. BALLANTINE repeated that he could have nothing to do with the case, and that the Custom-house and police-officers were responsible to their superiors. If Mr. Campbell, and the gentlemen who accompanied him considered themselves aggrieved, they could memorialise the GovernmeLt. Mr. Campbell said, a memorial was forwarded to the Government some (lays ago, and no answer had been returned to it. He considered the magistrate was ap pointed to do justice between the Queen and her subjects, and that the poor pe6ple in the court were entitled to protection and to justice, without reference to the Go vernment at all. Mr. BALLANTINE sail there was no case before him in which he had a right to interfere, and smilingly obsyryed to Mr. Campbell, that the Government was too powerful for either of them to contend with. Mr. Briggs and Mr. Campbell both contended that the Custom-house authorities and the police had acted in a very arbitrary and illegal manner, but failed to convince the magistrate of that ; and, as he peremptorily de clined to interfere, the gentlemen retired. The whole of the crew and emigrants were then mus tered in the skittle ground and yard of the Prince of Wales Tavern, opposite, and Mr. Campbell, after ex plaining to them the result of his interview with the ma gistrate, said he had no orders from his superiors re specting them, but he would take it upon himself to give each of them Is., a slice of bread and cheese, and a pint of beer. That was all he could do for them. The men gave three cheers, and one and all thanked Mr. Ca:np bell. The landlord of the house provided the men with the refreshments, which were soon devoured. In the evening the men dispersed in different directions. An application was made by some of the emigrants in the course of the day to Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, during the temporary absence of the mgaistrate; they sail they bad paid 15s. each for their passage, and their case was very different from the sailors'. Mr. Symons said the magistrate would not grant process to any of tlltn, and had declared his intention of issuing warrants against every individual connected with the expedition if he were applied to, and a proper case made out. A sailor then compl tined that his cheat and hammock were de tained on board the Glenelg, and he was told the magis trate could do nothing for him. The dit-m intling of the Glenelg was proceeded with after the people left her, and strict orders have been given not to al:ow the crew and emigrants again en board, who were to be converted into soldiers on the ar rival of the expedition at the Ecuador, and very sorry troops-they would have made. We understand that the reason the people were turned out of the Glenelg so un ceremoniously was, that they had received three days' notice to quit, and refused to leave the ship. CURIOUS TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE. Several months ago a shepherd who was tending a flock in a wood near the village of Cerneilles (Seine-et- Oise), saw a piece of blue printed cotton on the ground, and taking hold of it, met with a resistance which in duced him to rake up the earth, on doing which, he found part of the body of a female which had been buried. The authorities were apprised by him of what he had discovered, and the body, which was in an advanced state of decomposition, was taken up and examined by some medical men, who declared that it was the remains of a female of about 17 or 18 years of age. As a girl of that age, named Hoyer, was missing, and it was known that she had been last seen with a young man named Drouart, he was arrested on a charge of murder, and thrown into prison, where he remained for some time, until, fortunately for him and the cause of justice, the girl, who was not dead but had removed to another part of the country, came forward and he was set at liberty. As a mistake had taken place in the identity of the body, the po lice began to inquire whether any other female was mis sing, and ascertained that a woman named Catherine, who had been living as a servant at a farm in the neigh bourhood, where she had saved between 200 and 300 francs, had quitted her service in Company with a man named Quenneville, a servant at the same farm, and of about the same age, who had Itlred her away under pre text of having procured her a better place, and had him self quitted his service, and that part of the country. This woman had not since been heard of. Several per sons who had known her swore to the dress in which she was found, anti near the spot had been found several other articles of dress, the contents of the bundle which she carried when she left the farm. The only circum stance which would warrant any doubt as to her identity was the evidence of the medical men who had xamined the body. This, however, th ey exp l a i ne d , faf person of 35, was, to such an cat body h e rsi ne b li y mite s d tat i i i n i ex tent as to be considered almost an idi o t, wou ld present the same physical character as th a t o f a female of half that age possessed of sound int e ll ec t. O n the other hand, the charges against Quenne v ill e , w h o was arrested intellect, that ct, w i l h ti e ch almost as soon as the boiy had been identified, were very strong. It was proved on the examination before the examining magistrate, that he had told his fellow ser vants that he would one day get hold of the savings of Catherine by pretending to find a place for her, and, on her accompanying him, getting her money and (pitting her. They left the farm together, Quenneville carrying one of her bundles. He was traced from place to place, spending much more money than he could account for: his knife was found near the spot were the body was buried. It was proved that he had dropped near that spot, and quite out of the road which he pretended to have taken, a certificate of service which he had returned to claim. The death of the female was caused by stran gulation. It appeared that Quenueville had in the first in stance hanged her to the branch of a tree, with the view of having it supposed that she had committed suis tide ; but when some days had elapsed, and he knew that the body had not been discovered, he returned and buried it. In order to procure, without exciting sus picion, the tools required for this purpose, he pretended that he was about to go to work with some parlors, and purchased a spade, pickaxe, &c., for ten francs. The night after this purchase he was seen near the wood, and on the following day he sold the tools for one half the sum that he had paid for them, and then left the neighbourhood for good. lie could not on his ex amination account for the way in which he had passed the night on which, according to the indictment, he had interred his victim, except by stating that he had slept under a haystack. As he had money in his pocket, however and had been at two public houses in the course of the same evening, at either of which he could have had a bed, this explanation was not at all satisfactory. The prisoner was brought to trial on the 10th before the Court of Assize for the department, and the trial, from the im mense number of witnesses called, lasted three days. In his defence Quenneville denied that he had ever ex pressed an intention of robbing Catherine of her money, and attempted to account for his having spent more than he was known to possess, by stating that he had saved three hundred francs, which he had concealed in a stable until he quitted his service. Ile admitted that he had told a falsehood in sa3ing to the poor woman that he had obtained a place for her, but asserted that he had only accompanied her a short distance, when they had a dispute and separated. This defence against a host of strong circumstantial evidence was of no avail, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty without extenuating circumstances. He was consequently sentenced to death. —Galignani. TREA7ENT of PIGS.—A farmer made the follow• ing experiment in the treatment of pigs. He put six pigs together fur s even wee k s . Three of them ho l e ft to shift for themselves, and he had three of them curry combed and well cared for. At the expiration of the seven weeks the latter consumed five bushels of peas less than the former, and weighed two stone four pounds more than they did, CRISIS IN THE COTTON TRADE PUBLIC MEETING AT OLDHAM. On Monday evening, lc, pursuant to notices to that effecq, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Oldham was held in the large room of the Town hall, for the pur po:e of " taking into consideration the propriety cf re commending to the mill-owners and manufacturers of Oldham and its vicinity the urgent necessity of working short time during the present stagnation of trade, and the high price of cotton, in accordance with a memorial presented to them from the associated cotton spinners on the 19th of October last, and which memorial prayed them to adopt short time for a season." The placards convening the meeting announced that Mr. Charles Hindley, M.P., would attend, and explain the necessity for adopting the short time system. The room was crowded to excess, chiefly by factory operatives, forming an indisputable proof of the great interest they take in the present state of the trade. A considerable number of master cotton spinr.ers and manufacturers were seated on the platform, but they did not take any part in the proceedings. John Mills, an operative spinner, was unanimously called to the chair. lie opened the business in a short but painted introductory speech, in which he expressed his conviction, that in order to avoid the extension of the prevalent stagnation, and a recur rence of the scenes of 1842, it was vitally necessary that there should be an immediate abridgment of the hours of labour for a season. (Applause). It was said by some that the deficiency in the crop of cotton amounted to 500,000 bales, and if no measures were taken to avert the approaching stagnation, the result might be the throwing out of work of 30,000 or 40,000 hands. He trusted the working classes generally were beginning to understand that the state of trade was always regulated by the principle of supply and demand, and they should act in accordance with such facts.—(Applause). He re regretted to announce that a letter had been received from Mr. Hindley, M.P., stating that he was unable to attend in consequence of indisposition. Benjamin Tay lor, an operative, moved the first resolution, which was to the effect, " That in the opinion of the meeting it was highly desirable for the welfare of both the employers and employed to adopt the short time system for a sea son, in consequence of the much greater advance that has been made in the price of cotton than in the prices of goods and yarn, and the necessity of avoiding the throwing out of employment or the reduction of wages of a great number of the operatives." Thomas Wilson, an operative, seconded the motion. The chairman next read the letter of Mr. Hindley, which was dated the 14th instant. Ambrose Hurst, author of a recently published volume of poetry, supported the motion in a spirited speech. In his opinion, unless a speedy restriction was placed on the powers of production in cotton mills, the advancing price of cotton would so fur encroach on the amount of capital as to begin to affect the wages of the working classes in an injurious proportion. Robert Bardsley, an operative, moved the second resolution, to the effect, " That the meeting, being duly impressed with the embarrassed state of trade, earnestly desire the master spinners and manufacturers of Oldham to co operate with the employers of other places to work short time for a season." John Brewer, a delegate from the associated cotton spinners of Bolton, seconded the mo • Lion, which was unanimously passed. The proceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to the chairman.—Mon cheater Courier. REDUCTION of the DUT Y on TEA. NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY. —Yesterday there was a meeting of the council of this borough, at which a motion was made to memorialise the Government in favour of a reduction of the duty on tea. Mr. W. FELKIN, merchant, who has published nume rousstatistical statemen ts connected with various branches of trade, addressed the council at great length, and re-. ferred to calculations which warranted the conclusion that any reduction of duty would be counterbalanced by an increase of consumption. The reduction he proposed was to lower the duty to Is. per lb., though perhaps he ought to say, that he was hardly settled in his mind whether a differential or uniform duty would be the best. lie proceeded to argue that if our trade with China were conducted upon fair, equitable principles, it might be vastly increased. It was a fact that the Chinese only laid a duty of 5 per cent. on our goods, while we impose a duty of between 200 and 300 per cent. on articles im ported from China. According to the last census, China contained a population of 367,682,907 individuals, who, in cafe of an amicable intercourse upon equal terms, might take an immense quantity of oar goods in ex change for their tea. He could not but feel convinced, if the duty were reduced to one shilling per pound, and the consumption was raised from 44 to 60 millions of pounds, that the result, as far as regarded the trade of this country would be highly beneficial, and he had no hesitation in expressing his confidence, should the mea sure be carried, that a very large amount of our manu• factures will be in request to supply the demand in the extensive empire of China. Respecting the advantage to the tea trade from the proposed alteration he offered the following calculation :—Supposing 44 millions of pounds of tea cost on board 2,200,0001., freight and all charges on same 550,000 L, the duty at 2s. 21d. per lb. would be 4,812,5001., making a cost of 7,562,500/. Profit to the home trade at 30 per cent, 2,268,7501., making a total of 9,831,250/. Now the calculation un der the new duty would give a consumption of 66 millions of pounds of tea, at a cost of 3,300,000/. ; freight at 3d. per lb., 825,0001.; duty at Is. per lb. 3,300,0004 ; profit at 30 per cent., 2,277,5001. ; cost of 39,285 tons of sugar at 40/. a ton , 1,571,400/. ; freight at Id. per lb., 366,6661.; duty on ditto (foreign) 21s. 824,9861.; profit at 30 per cent, 828,9124—making a total ot • 13,244,4634 and leaving a surplui of 3,413,2131. in amount beyond our existing trade. Increase of profits being 787,652/., and of freights 641,666/. It would take our largest and best ships to carry this quantity of tea and would extend benefits through all branches of trade and commerce. With re gard to the important question of the revenue, which amounted to 4,124,0001., he calculated that by the reduc tion in the duty, the consumption of tea would increase, so as to leave the revenue only three quarters of a mil lion short of what it now is. How much trade and corn melee would increase, he could not calculate, but he thought. by the reply of Lord J. Russell to a deputation who waited on him on. this subject, there could be no doubt a great increase would take place. With these remarks he begged to move the following memorial : "TO THE RIGHT HON. THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY. " The Memorial of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bur gesses of the town of Nottingham, " Humbly showeth—That your memorialists are of opinion that the duty at present levied upon tea is ex cessive ; and that it is expedient, for the following among other 'reasons, it should be forthwith reduced :—lt has had the effect of greatly limiting the consumption of tea and sugar amongst the labouring and middle classes, to whom the use of tea has become one of the comforts of life. It has materially crippled our trade with China, and thereby interfered prejudicially with the employ ment of labour and capital in connexion with our foreign business. It is an unjust and impolitic return for the liberal tariff imposed by the Chinese upon British pro duce and manufactures. And as your memorialists have from past experience reason to hope that the revenue now derived from this source would, in a compara tively short period, be replaced by the increased con sumption of teas at a lower duty, combined with that received from the consequent much augmented use of sugar, r and from other collateral sources, they would earnestly urge upon your lordship the propriety of a reduction in the tea duty to one shilling per pound, either by an ad valorum duty so arranged as not to average more than that sum per pound on the probable consumption, or by an uniform duty upon all qualities of tea." The motion was scoonded, and after some discussion was caned unanimously. SALT MONOPLY IN INDIA.-Mr. Felkin afterwards addressed the meeting in reference to the oppressive na ture of the salt monopoly in India, and moved the adop tion of a memorial s praying that the monopoly in the manufacture of salt in India, and also the duty on the import of salt into that country might be abolished. The memorial was unanimously adopted. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The Great Western left this city on the afternoon of the 26th, the wind blawing a gale. The next morning, between eight and nine o'clock, she crossed the bar and put to sea. During the past week we have had a most tempestuous gale of wind on our coast. Among other disasters, the Norwich and Wooster Railway Company have sustained the total loss of the splendid steam-boat Atlantic, which beat cost the company about 140,000 dollars, and was not more than half insured ; probably less. It is melan choly to add that the captain and some 40 other persons were drowned or crushed to death when the boat went to pieces. All our journals are filled with details. The weath( r has been intensely cold for several days, insomuch that our canals are icebound and closed ; a watrn rain, however, would again open them for a few days. A l a rg e amoun t of bread stuffs is caught in the ic Wethis sudden change of weathe . r. have nothing new from Washington. Very little, and that of no importance, has transpired in relation to the forthcoming Presidential message on the opening of Congress. It is generally thought, however, that the Administration feel their own incapacity to manage the war. Hastily and indecorously as they acted towards General Scott, at the commencement of the campaign, they are now disposed to retrace their steps, and to place some reliance on the practical experience of this gallant soldier. Of course, nothing is known as to the contem plated movement of the army under the new organiza. tion ; but it may be fairly presumed that much, perhaps all, is to be left to the sound discretion of the command ing general; and this is the more probable, as the Pre silent, since he was outwitted by Santa Anna, has been looking in every direction for an avenue by which he might escape from further responsibility. It is understood that General Taylor will not move from Monterey; and that General Scott's command and operations will be entirely separate and distinct. It is conjectured, and, perhaps, with good reason, that Gene ral Scott's present destination is Tampico. but ultimately Vera Cruz. In which event he would probably lay siege to Vera Cruz both by land and sea. This, however, is mere speculation, and may be incorrect. Under such a state of things, should they occur, the great and im portant question is —what will be the movements of Santa Anna? He is ardently concentrating in e.ne point, and for some object, the military force of Mexico. He is not the man to make such a display without a precise and specific object. It is expected that the nine regiments of volunteers recently ordered, and now mustering in the United States' service, will be in Mexico in 60 days. The Go vernment is at this moment chartering vessels for their transportation. I apprehend, however, that this esti mate will net be realized, and that it will require at least 90 days to concentrate this force, perhaps longer. General Scott and suite sailed this morning for New Orleans, on board the packet-ship Union. From New Orleans he proceeds, with as little delay as practicable, to his place of destination. Tines, A GENEVESE TRAVELLER. WOOLWICII. The half-yearly examination of gentleman ca.'els un dergoing a preparatory course of study at the Cadet, Barracks, at Woe;wich, to qualify them for commisAans in the Royal Engineers and Royal Regiment of Artil lery, took place yesterday in the large hall of the Royal Military Academy, in the presence of the Licutena-it- General Sir Thomas Downman, C.B. and K C.H., Com mandant of the Garrison (President) ; Major General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, K.C.8., Inspector-General of For tifications ; Major-General Sir H. D. Ross, K 0.13., Deputy-Adjutant-General of Artillery ; Majcr-General Sir J.

Artillery ; and Captain Stotherd and Captain Williams, Royal En gineers. - Professor Christie commenced the examination of 23 gentleman cadets of the theoretical class, at 10 o'clock a.m. ; and the following having passed in a satisfactory manner, have been advanced to the practical class for study in the Royal Arsenal, previous to obtaining cum missions :—Richard H. Stotherd, William H. Noble, Henry Schaw, Edward N. Ileygate, George H. Gordon, Augustus J. Clerke, Charles A. Rice, Charles J. Fowler, Henry P. Yates, Murray F. Ferrers, Samuel I). Wright, Henry A.

Turner, James F. Pennycuick. Field-Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., and G.C.H., Master-General of the Ordnance, presided at the examination in the afternoon, which was con ducted in the practical class by Major General Paterson, of the Repository Department ; Major-General Lacy, of the Carriage Department ; Colonel Dansey, of the La boratory Department ; and Lieutenant- Colonel Dundas, C.B , of the Foundry Department ; Major General Sir William Gossett, C. 8., and K.C.H., Royal Engineers ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K H., and Major Cup page, were present, in addition to the other officers, in the afternoon. The following 'gentleman cadets passed for commis sions, and will be appointed to the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery James Liddell, John E. Michell, Charles W. Barry, George C. Henry, Thomas P. Warlow, Charles 11. Sedle, William P. Lambert, Richard Warren, Philip Bedingfield, Hugh Williams, Spencer P. Childers, :Wil liam H. Mytton, Hon. John J. Bury, Richard P. C. Jones, Henry J. M. Campbell, Reginald 0. Farmer, Alexander Mackenzie, Charles M. Govan, Charles LI. H. Ingilby, Robert P. Gabbett. At — the - conclusion of the examination, his Lordship the Master-Gen:.ral of the Ordnance made an appro proprlate address to the whole of the gentleman cadets, pointing out to them the propriety of their conducting themselves in a manner which would be creditable to the service and profession they wished to follow, and read a report which had been drawn up by the authorities and approved by his Lord ship, a copy of which would be sent to the parents and guardians of every gentleman cadet, to assure them that it was the determination of the head of the Academy to abolish, by the most strong measures, the system of one cadet making a neux of another; and that it would be better fur any parent or guardian to withdraw those under their controul at once, if they could not guarantee that the gentleman cadets would refrain from coLducting them clvcs in a manner in direct opposition to the rules of the Academy, as any departure from the regulations would insure their dismissal. Field Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey was very impressive in the delivery of his admonition to the gentleman cadets, and was listened to with the greatest attention, and there can be no doubt his Lordship's advice will be acted upon in future. His LORDSIIIP then delivered the prizes, and said a kind and encouraging word to e“: 11 of the recipients as the prizes were handed to them by Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, by direction of Major General Parker, the Lieu tenant Governor.

A HAPPY VALLEY.—In a deep and retired valley of the Pyrenees exists the small independent state of Andorre under the joint protection of France and Spain. It has laws by prescription, which are admi• nistered by two judges, one French, the other Spanish. This little republic comprises fifty-four villages, with a population of about 12,000 inhabitants, living on the produce of the flocks and herds, their chief wealth. When Napoleon crossed the Pyrenees, on his way into Spain, ho stopped at Andorre, the capital, and pro mised to confer on the republic a written code of laws. But this promise concurrent political events prevented him from performing. The inhabitants have at length framed a code for themselves, and it was promulgated last month at the chief town. It is of the greatest sim plicity, comprising all its enactments, civil and criminal, in 100 articles only. Murder is a crime extremely rare in this little state, and, when sentence of death is pro nounced, it cannot be executed until it is confirmed by a general assembly of representatives of the villages con yoked at Andorre. The mode of execution is consistent with the nature of the people. At a short distance from the road into Catalonia is a tremendous precipice, the bottom of which no eye of man can discover. The cri minal, with his eyes bound, is led to the edge, and, in the presence of all who wish to attend, is thrown over by the executioner. —Pari s paper.
