His HONOUa ordered the matter to stand over till to morrow, when it might be mentioned. LEIGH V. EARL BALCARRAS. This was a petition praying for certain directions in reference to trustees, to compel them to carry out the intentions of a testator. The plaintiff was present tenant for life on the property of the testator, and there were two defendants, viz., the Earl of Balcarras and a Mr. Gaskell, who were the trustees of the estate of Sir R. Leigh, the testator. Miss Loveday Cook was entitled to the estate of Sir R. Leigh by his will, which, after granting certain legacies, &c., gave his personal estate, chattels, &c., to the aforesaid parties, to be kept in trust for Miss Cook, and after her demise to be appropriated to the purposes of other parties afterwards mentioned in the will. His HoNouß, having heard the arguments on both sides, said that he would reserve his judgment. The new Lord Mayor made the customary visit to this court, and invited his Honour to dinner to-day at Guildhall. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY AND MESSRS COWARD. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., applied to the Court for a rule calling upon the South-Western Company to issue a warrant, for the purpose of assessing the amount of compensation to which Messrs. Coward, the extensive starch manufacturers, of Lambeth, are entitled, on ac count of the injury which will be caused to their pre mises by the extension of the line to Waterloo-bridge. He made the application under the Lands Clauses Con solidation Act, c. 65. The private Act of the company gave them power to take the whole of the premises of Messrs. Coward, in Princes-street, Lambeth, where they have carried on business for upwards of 60 years ; and accordingly on the 14th of May last, they gave them notice that they would require only a portion of their prcperty, but that, portion was in the very centre of their factory, and if taken would entirely destroy their works. They stated this to the company, and expressed their willingness to sell the whole of their property to them, in conformity with the Bth and 9th Vic., clause 92, cap. 18, which was to the effect, that a railway company should give compensation for the whole of a persons property, if it could be proved that taking ,a part would render the remainder valueless. The com pany had stated in reply to the applications of Messrs. Coward, that their demand was too large, and that they could not accede to it. The Learned Counsel cited the cases of King v. the Hungerford-market Company, 4th " Barnewall and Adolphus," p. 327, and Stone v. the Commercial Railway Company, which was tried in this Court, in support of his application.—Rule granted. CONSPIRACY.-THE QUEEN V. GOJHBERTZ AND OTHERS. This was an indictment at the instance of Captain Rose against Gombertz and three persons of the name of Witham for conspiracy. The conspiracy con sisted in obtaining bills from Captain Rose for a large amount, for which he was to receive wine warrants and other valuable documents as security. Although the bills were obtained, the securities were not forthcoming, and hence the indictment, and Gombertz and one of the Withams (Robert) were found guilty. An application was subsequently made to this Court for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, and also to arrest judgment in the meantime, to which the Court acceded. The case to-day was called on for argument. Mr. CocanuaN showed cause against the rule, and why the judgment of the Court below should not be further arrested, but at once pronounced. He said one of the grounds on which the rule was obtained was, be cause the third and fourth counts did not specify to whom the bills belonged, which he held was untenable, inasmuch as the indictment contained a number of counts, each varying the offence, in most of which Captain Rose was set forth as the drawer and owner. He cited a number of cases in support of, and proceeded to deal with, the other objection, namely, that a number of unstamped documents, which ought to have been stamped, were admitted in evidence at the trial. Such documents it appeared, and the Learned Counsel cited several cases, were admitted in evidence ; it was frequently necessary to adopt such a course, in order to promote the ends of justice, which, if wholly excluded, would be frequently defeated ; besides, if the objection was to stand, a guilty person might commit a crime with impunity, by drawing bills and agreements upon unstamped paper, and, consequently, escape conviction, on account of the non-admissibility of the instrument. Inithis case the unstamped documents consisted of me morandums of agreements alleged to have been framed for the purpose of defrauding Captain Rose, and were absolutely necessary to establish the case against the defendant. Mr. HILL, Q.C., followed, in support of the rule, on behalf of the defendant Gombertz, and urged that the mere form of a bill of exchange upon a piece of un stamped paper was nothing more than a valueless piece of paper, and not a bill of exchange at all ; and even if it were subsequently stamped it would be equally invalid. He was supported in this view by the words of the Stamp Act, which rendered an officer punishable if he affixed a stamp to a document which bad been completed before it was sought to be stamped. Variuus cases which he cited favoured this line of argument. At the conclusion of Mr. Hill's address the Court rose. I❑ the course of the afternoon the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Sheriffs, entered the Court, and the Re corder invited the judges, in their names, to the banquet at Guildhall this evening. Lord DENMAN said some of the judges would attend the banquet. The COURT held that the verdict was good, and ought not to be disturbed. The fact of the plaintiff having made out his account to the defendant, a circumstance strongly relied upon by the Learned Counsel in the pre sent motion, was not sufficient to render defendant liable fur the payment of the same.—Rule refused. SWEARING IN OF THE LORD MAYOR. This being the day for swearing in the Lord Mayor upon his accession to office, the Court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to witness the ceremony. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor, attended by the Civic authorities, entered the Court, when the usual oaths were administered to him by Mr. Baron Parke, the Lord Chief Baron being prevented from attending in consequence of a domestic calamity. The usual invitations to the Judges to attend the ban quet were then given and accepted, and his Lordship and the other members of the Corporation withdrew. Their Lordships then proceeded to dispose of several motions, none of which presented any feature of public importance. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) COULING V. COCKS. This case was tried at the last Surrey assizes, before Mr. Baron Parke, and a verdict given for the plaintiff on all the issues but one. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against a person named Ho!lts, on which the defendant was subpcenaed as a witness. He failed to attend, and in consequence the plaintiff was obliged to withdraw his record and pay the costs. The present action was to recover the costs so paid. The issue on which the verdict was given for the defendant was en a plea in denial that the plaintiff had good cause of action in the case Cocks v. Idolks. Mr. Fisia now moved for a rule for a new trial on this issue, or torian interpleader, and contended that it was a matter of indifference to the present case, whether in the former one there was or was not a good cause of action—the witness was in either case bound to attend. Rule granted. but in a short tim e h e returne d? , crowd, where witness cou ld o b serve hi s h an d s i n mo ti on , to the complainant whose breeches-p oc k e t h e aga i n tr i e d , an d th en at tempted to put u p hi s f i ngers b eneat h t h e b rew t o f complainant's coat just at his waistcoat-peeket. When charged by the complainant he said nothing and ran as soon as he saw witness coming towards him, and when caught, in St. Martin's-lane, he said he had just come up from Somersetshire. The defendant denied the charge. Thomas Wolfe, the defendant's master, gave him a very good character for steadiness and honesty. He said he had been in his house for eighteen months, and was quite surprised to hear the charge made against him. Mr. JARDINE said the conflict between the character of the defendant an d t h e charge, left the case i n consider able perplexity. He asked if the policeman was sure the defendant was the man ?—The policeman said he was quite sure ; he had no doubt about his identity. Mr. JARDINE said he must send the case before a jury, and ordered that the evidence of the police constable should he taken down on the depositions as fully as it had been given before him. The prisoner was admitted to bail, his master entering into recognisances in 50/. f ur hi s appearance at t h e sessions. James and Charles Stokes, two brothers, young men, were charged with creating a disturbance in the public house, 14. Crown.court, and committing a severe assault on a young boy, one of the spectators. John Wilkie, the landlord of the house, said his house was much pestered with the defendant James Stokes, who was idle, ill-disposed, and a drag upon his younger brother. Last night he had been drinking in the house, and fell asleep there, and when his younger brother Charles came to get him away, the other quar relled with hi m , an d both fought most viciously. A crowd was in consequence gathered round the door, and Charles Stokes seeing them ran out and struck right and left, to the serious injury of a young boy in the crowd. The boy was kicked by the defendant in the b ac k, near the kidneys, and in the ribs, so that it was feared some of his ribs were broken. He was carried away last night very ill to the Charing Cross Hospital. The Magistrate inquired whether any one Was present to speak to the s t a t e o f t h e boy, and on hearing that there was no report from the hospital, remanded the prisoners till to morrow. SOUTHWARK._(THIS DA►Y.) John Brown, a man advanCed in life, was charged with stealing a Sun newspaper, from the premises of Mr. Wood, a coffee-house keeper, in the vicinity of this Court. Mr. Wood said the prisoner was in his coffee-room on Saturday morning, and soon after his departure four newspapers were missed. He came again in the evening, and a watch being kept upon him, when he left the box in which he was sittin g , The Sun of; th e same eveni n g was missing. He wa s followed, and brought back and questioned, as to whether he had any newspapers in his pocket, and he replied in the negative, and exhibited his pockets to confirm the truth of his declaration. His hat, however, was taken off, and in the inside The Sun was discovered. He was then given into custody. The prisoner accounted fur the circumstance of the above newspaper being found where it was by saying that his bat being too large for his head, he put it inside to keep it from falling over his eyes. Mr. SECKER said he did not believe one word of such a defence, but that the prisoner had taken the newspaper for the purpose of disposing of it, and converting the proceeds to his own use. The Magistrate then inflicted a fine of ten shillings on the prisoner for having un lawful possession of the newspaper, and in default of pay ment committed him for fourteen days. CLERKEN `YELL.—(THIS DAY.) In several cases which were brought before the ma gistrates this morning of persons being brought to the station-house drunk and incapable of taking care of themselves, the police applied to Mr. Greenwood that he would order the prisoners to pay 7s. 6d., being the amount of the doctor's fee. Mr. GREENWOOD said he did not understand this de mand, and inquired of the inspector on duty how it hap pened that this charge was made so indiscriminately. The Inspector stated that they had rece i ved str i ct orders from the Commissioners of Police that whenever a person was brought to the station-house apparently in sensible, they were at once to send for a medical man. As most of those charges were brought in at unseason able hours, the fee charged for the attendance was 7s. 6d. Mr. GREENWOOD said the law gave him no power to order a person to pay this stir?. lie thought it rather a singular order to hare a medical man call e d i n i n every case of the kind, and be considered it would be very hard to compel every person so charged to pay 78. 6d. as the police demanded. THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. THIS DAY. This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, the new Lord Mayor, Sir George Carroll, attended by the usual Civic and other dignitaries, left the Guildhall in grand procession. (A prcgramme of the procession has already appeared in The Sun.) According to usual custom, the new Lord Mayor proceeded by water to Westminster to be sworn in, and to invite the Judges to attend the civic banquet. The City barge and the barges of the different Companies were gaily decked out with flags and streamers. On the:r return the Lord Mayor and the authorities anded at Blackfriars-bridge, and proceeded to return n procession to the Guildhall. The new equipages of he Sheriffs were much admired. MEXICO AND THE t NITED ,STATES. SAX DAYS LATER NEWS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIG UT. We have had two arrivals from the United States in the course of to-day. The packet ship Cambridge, from New York, with dates of the IGth ultimo; and imme diately after her the Joshua Bates, from Boston, bring ing papers from that city to the 23d, and New York to the 22d ultimo. The Joshua Bates sailed for Liverpool on the 22d of October, and has, therefore, wade th e voyage in little more than fifteen days. These arrivals have put us in possession of papers and other adviees from the United States six days later than those pre viously received by the Hibernia. The British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Caledonia, after a somewhat protracted voyage, ar rived at Boston on the night of the 20th ult., about eleven o'clock. She sailed hence from this port in the forenoon of the 4th, and took out the particulars of the sad disaster which befel the Great Britain. Prior to her arrival there was much uneasiness and anxiety mani fested for the arrival of Captain Hosken and his aquatic monster ; and when the intelligence of her mis hap became known at Boston, much regret was ex pressed at the accident, as well as sympathy for her commander. In the papers which we have received, we do not find any news which can fairly be characterised as im portant. Some particulars are given respecting the movements of the United States army in Mexico, as well as conjectures respecting the ultimate intention of their enemies. The West India Mail, which arrived at Southampton on the 4th, brought us accounts of the appointment of Santa Anna to the office of General Com mander-in-Chief. The advices new received confirm that report, and furnish us with his acceptance of the command. When at Ayatla, on his way to the capital, he addressed to the newly ap pointed Minister of War, General Alrnonto, a very remarkable, bold, and energetic letter. It is a manly and patriotic communication, and gives the United States army to know that in his person they have a determined enemy, who longs for the time when he can meet the forces of that country in the battle-field, so that he may unsheath his sword, and take vengeance for the aggressions made upon the Mexican soil by the troops of Brother Jonathan. Santa Anna tells Almonte, and through him the people of Mexico, that they are now engaged in a terrible contest with a perfidious and daring enemy, in which the Mexican Republic must reconquer the insignia of her glory, or disappear from the face of the earth. Santa Anna reached the capital on the 15th of Sep tember. His reception was of the most encouraging and flattering description. The people were joyous beyond measure, and seemed to recognise in him their saviour and deliverer. The day alter his arrival, the Provisional Government, following out the sentiments of Santa Anna, ordered a levy of 30,000 men to recruit the army. Requisitions were forthwith transmitted to all the prin cipal places in the Republic for an immediate fnrnish ing of their respective quotas of men. Puebla, and the whole of the towns within a circuit of 50 or 60 leagues of the metropolis, are stated to have complied with the requisition with much cheerfulness and alacrity. On the arrival of the news at Puebla, a regiment was imme diately raised with a view to assist, and in the equip ment of this large body of soldiers the Mexican Go vernment have remitted all duties upon munitions of war. A commission had been appointed on the 4th of September, to adopt ways and means for encouraging and rewarding deserters from the enemy's camp, who should happen to place themselves under Mexican pro tection. The accounts from Santa Fe state that General Kear ney had been organising his military force and making a provisional Government. Intelligence was also said to have reached New York, that he had left Santa Fe on the 3d of September, having with him 3,0(0 men and 20 days' provisions. His destination was Rio Ambago. He was expected to return in a fortnight, after which he was to start for California. From the seat of war late accounts have been re ceived. The health of the troops had been very indif ferent, and those that were at Matamoras were dying at the rate of five per day. The late battle at Mon terey is said to have cost the Americans 700 killed and wounded ; the Mexicans, 1,100. Major Graham had left Washington, charged with instructions to General Taylor, whom the United States Government have or dered to prosecute the war with energy and perseve rance. The terms of his negotiation with Ampudia are said to have been very unsatisfactory to the authorities of Washington. General Taylor was to leave Monterey for Saltino on the Ist of November, and an additional force of 4,000 men were to be pat under his command, so that he would depart from the scene of his last con quest at the head of 9,000 troops. Santa Anna was supposed to be on his way to meet General Taylor, and that the two armies would come within musket reach of each other, at San Luis Potosi, where another engage ment was likely to take place. GENERAL SANTA ANNA, COMMANDER-IN. CHIEF OF THE LIBERATING ARMY, TO GENERAL ALMONTE, MINISTER OF WAR OF THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO. " AYoTTA, ONE O'CLOCK A.M., SEPT. 14, 1846.0 " Sir,—l have received your favour of this date, ac knowledging a decree issued by the Supreme Govern ment of the nation, Embracing a programme of the proceedings adopted to regulate a due celebration of the re-establishment of the constitution of 1824, the assump tion by myself of the supreme executive power, and the anniversary of the glorious cry of Dolores. My satis faction is extreme to observe the enthusiasm with which preparations are made to celebrate the two greatest bles sings that have fallen upon this nation—her independ ence and liberty—and I am penetrated with the deepest gratitude to find that my arrival at the capital will be made to contribute to the solemnities of so great an oc casion. " In furtherance of this object, I shall make my en trance into that city to-morrow at mid-day, and desire, in contributing my share to the tuitional jubilee, to ob serve such a course as may best accord Kith my duties to my country—beloved of my heart—and with the re spect due to the will of the sovereign people. " I have been called by the voice of my fellow-citizens to exercise the office of Commander-in- Chief of the army of the Republic. I was far from my native land when intelligence of this renewed confidence, and of these new obligations imposed upon me by my country was brought me, and I saw that the imminent dan gers which surrounded her on all sides, formed the chief motive for calling me to the head of the army. I now see a terrible contest with a perfidious and daring enemy, impending on her, in which the Mexi can Republic must reconquer the insignia of her glory, and a fortunate issue, if victorious, or disappear from the face of the earth, if so unfortunate as to be de feated. I see also a treacherous faction raising its head from her bosom, which in calling up a form of govern ment detested by the united nation, provokes a prefer able submission to a foreign dominion; and I beheld at last, that after much vacillation, that nation is re solved to establish her right to act for herself, and to arrange such a form of government as best suits her wishes. All this I have observed, and turned a lis tening ear to the cry of my desolated country, satis fied that she really needed my weak services at so important a period. Hence I have come without hesitation or delay to place myself in subjection to her will, and, desirous to be perfectly understood, upon reaching my native soil, I gave a full and public expression of my sentiments and principles. The recep tion which they met with convinced tie that I had not deceived myself, and I am now the more confirmed in them, not from having given them more consideration, but because they have formed a general echo in the hearts of my fellow-citizens. I come here to carry my views into operation, and in compliance with the man date of my country. She calls me as commander•in chief of the army, and in that capacity I stand ready to serve. " The enemy occupies our harbours, he is despoiling us of the richest of our territories, and threatens us with his domination. I go then to the head of the Mexican army, an array the offspring (ego) of a free people. and joined with it, I will fulfil my utmost duty in opposing the enemies of my country. I will die fighting, or lead the valiant Mexicans to the enjoyment bf a triumph to which they are alike entitled by justice, by their war like character, and by the dignity and enthusiasm which they have preserved, of a free nation. The war is a necessity of immediate importance, every delay is an age of infamy; I cannot recede from the position which the nation has assigned me ; I must go forward unless I would draw upon myself the censure due to ingratitude for the favours with which I have been overwhelmed by my fellow citizens ; or unless I would behold her hum bled and suffering under a perpetuation of her misfor tunes. Your Excellency will at once perceive how great ai error I should commit in assuming the supreme ma gistracy, when my duty calls me to the field to fight against the enemies of the Republic. I should disgrace myself if, when called to the post of danger, I should spring to that of power l Neither my loyalty nor my honour requires the abandonment of interests so dear to me. " The single motive of my heart is to offer my com patriots the sacrifice of that blond which runs in my veiny. I wish them to know that I consecrate myself entirely to their service as a soldier ought to do, and am only desirous further to be permitted to point out the course by which Mexico may attain the rank to which her destinies call her. In marching against the enemy and declining to accept of power, I give a proof of the sincerity of my sentiments ; leaving the nation her own mistress, at liberty to dispose of herself as she sees fit. The elections for members of a Congress to form the constitution which the people wish to adopt, are proceeding. That Congress will soon now con vene ; and while I shall be engaged in the conflict, in armed defence of her independence, the nation will place such safeguards around her liberties as may best suit herself. If I should permit myself for a single moment to take the reins of government, the sincerity of my promises would be rendered questionable, and no confidence could be placed in them. I am re solved that they shall not be falsified, fur in their redemption I behold the general good, as well as my honour as a Mexican and a soldier. I cannot abandon this position. The existing Government has pursued a course with which the nation has shown itself content, and I have no desire to subvert it by taking its place I feel abundant pleasure in remaining where I am, and flatter myself that the nation will applaud my choice. I shall joyfully accept such tasks as she shall continue to impose upon me, and while she is engaged in promoting the objects of civilisation I will brave every 1 danger iu supporting its benefits, even at the cost of my existence. Will your Excellency have the goodness to tender $o the Supreme Government my sincere thanks for their kindness ? I will personally repeat them to morrow, for which purpose I propose to call at the palace. I shall there embrace my friends ; and hastily pressing them to my heart, bid them a tender farewell, and set out for the scene of war, to lend my aid to serve my country or to perish among its ruins. Ibt g to re peat to your Excellency assurances of my continued and special esteem. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA." COMMERCIAL. The accounts received respecting commercial matters inform us that immediately after the Caledonian reached Boston Flour advanced 50 to 75 cents. per barrel. Genessee, which had previ ous l y b een selling at 518 brought from 61 to 6is on the 21st ult. At the Boston market a cargo of yellow Corn was taken at 79 cents. , to 80 cents. The supply of Oats being abundant, this article remained without any rise in the price. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before 111 r. Justice PATTESON.) Mr. CROMPTON applied to the Court to quash two in• quisitions, one of which had been held at Liverpool, and the other at Cheshire, and both of which had been brought up to this Court by writ of certiorari. It appeared from the inquisition that a vessel called the Sea Nymph, while sailing upon the salt water part. of the Mersey, ran foul of a vessel called the Rambler, whereby two persons on board of the latter vessel were killed. One inquest was held at Liverpool, and a deo dand of 2001. was laid upon the vessel, and the other at Cheshire, where the jury gave a deodand of 500!. The grounds on which it was sought to quash the inquisitions were, Ist, that the cause and manner of the deaths had not been stated, 2ndly, that the pro perty which moved to the death bad not been properly described ; and thirdly, that vessels sail ing upon salt water were specially exempt from the law deodand. With regard to the last objection, it was a somewhat novel one. It was supposed by many to arise out of a question of jurisdiction ; but he believed that it was made an exception, in consequence of its being pre sumed that all accidents occurring out at sea were in consequence of some cause which could not be foreseen or prevented. That view was taken of it in Cummins' Digest. He (Mr. Compton) contended that any place into which the salt water flowed and reflowed was an arm of the sea ; and vessels on it came under the excep tion which he had already mentioned. If the water on which the vessels floated were considered fresh water, it should have b:en so stated upon the face of the inqui sition ; and he could therefore found an objection upon that point. Mr. Justice PATTESON—There was a case which oc curred not very long since— a collision between two ships off Margate—in which this point might have arisen, but it did not. Ido not mean to give any deci sion upon the point, as there are sufficient grounds with out it. You can take a rule nisi. EXPARTE SHUTTLEWORTH. Mr. PARRY applied for a writ of habeas to bring up, and discharge from custody, the body of Mrs. Shuttle worth, now in custody as a lunatic. The Learned COUNSEL stated that he made the appli cation upon three or four affidavits. The first of them was made by Mr. John Quail, a Member of the College of Surgeons, who had known the lady in ques tion for five years, as she had been during the whole of that period residing with him as a patient, for bodily and not mental disease. On the 9th of Au gust last, the lady, while in a carriage with the depo nent, was violently seized by a policeman, who acted under the directions of some other parties, who acted upon what he believed to be a medical certificate. On that certificate being shown to the policeman he gave his assistance, and - the lady was removed to a lunatic asy lum belonging to Dr. Millingen, at Battersea. The de ponent stated that he knew the lady was of sound mind at the time she was taken. The friends of the lady had been unable to obtain a sight of the certificate, either from the commissioners of lunacy or from the keeper of the asy lum. He (Mr. Parry) made an application to Mr. Justice Erle at Chambers, and he there saw the certificates. Mr. Justice Erie declined to interfere on the certificates, but permitted him to make the present application. The certificates did not state the ground upon which the party obtaining the certificate believed the person to be of unsound mind. In the case of Fell, a lunatic, the 3d vol. of Dowling and Lowndes, p age 37 3, which, was discussed before his Lordship, it was not held necessary to state these grounds upon the certificate, but by the Act Bth and 9th Victoria, sec. 46, chap. 100, it was ordered that every physician, surgeon, or apothecary, signing any certificate shall state the facts from which he believed the party to be of unsound mind. The affidavit' stated that there were no sufficient grounds for the custody of the lady alleged upon the certificates as requiredby the 45th section of the same Act. He had the affidavit of Thomas Austin, who had known the lady thirty years, and who believed her to be of sound mind, as also the affidavits of Edward Everall and Caroline Peachey, her servant. The lady bad always lived in strict retirement upon a pension of 100/., and the parties proceeding against her were utter strangers to her. Under these circumstances, it would be no injustice to the interests of lunatics in general if' a writ of habeas were granted. All access was denied to the lady, and there was no affidavit from her.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) WELBY V. BROWN. In this case the particulars of which were given in The Sun of last Tuesday, and which was tried upon that day:before Mr. Baron Platt at nisi prius sittings. Mr. AIARTIN moved, pursuant to leave given at the trial for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff for the whole amount. The question for the decision of the Court was the amount of liability attaching to an overseer for orders given by him during his year of office in matters connected with parochial business, and also whether he was held liable for services rendered to the parish in consequence of orders so given in after the expiratiou Obis yea; 91 . Once. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. The first meeting for the session, which was very nu merously attended, was held on Saturday at the house of the society, in Grafton-street, when, in the absence of the Earl of Auckland, the chair was taken by General Galloway. Amongst the ccmpany were Sir Henry Pot finger, Sir E. Colebrooke, Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, Sir Claude Wade, Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie, and se veral other distinguished members. A letter was read from the Earl of Auckland, accom panying a communication from Dr. M'Clelland, on the cultivation of cotton and on other native resources of India. With regard to the former, the advantages had so long been in favour of America, that notwithstanding ail the care and patronage which Government could be stow upon it, the Indian would never be able to come into succesful competition with the American markets. At the same time the Ryots, more particularly . in the Bengal Presidency, found it much more to their interest to appropriate their land to the culture of sugar, in the manufacture of which their great and growing establish ments were so successful that it was not possible to say ghat would be the results for the country if they were permitted to enter into fair competition with the West Indian markets. General BRIGGS, and some other members, spoke on one cause of the failure of the cotton crop being owing to the cultivation of varieties which were not suitable to the Indian soil, the former giving an instance in which some from Guzerat was lately sold at Liverpool as high as ls. 6d. per lb. The letter also communicated the discovery of fresh mines of coal and iron in the Bengal Presidency, the former of which w ou ld b e found highly serviceable for internal steam communication, whilst three samples of the latter sent over for Assay to this country yielded re. spectively 68.18, 51.38, and 38.13 of iron,,particularly suitable for manufacturing purposes. A communication was read from Sir John Davis, Go vernor of Hong-Kong, accompanying so me details by the Rev. Mr. Gutzlaff, of the present condition of that and other parts of China. At Hong-Kong great improve ments were being made, the town being crowded with Europeans amongst who m were a d ven turers of all na tions ; whilst at Chusan the English had left behind them a character for integrity which could not fail to be extremely beneficial in our future intercourse with that people. The exertions of the missionaries were being attended with great success; many Mandarins are now amongst the inquirers, and Christianity was being taught by many eloquent natives. Amongst the presents announced was a volume of the " Transactions of the Chinese Medico-Chirurgical So ciety," and some translations of various Turkish ac counts of Poland. A.H, _ORSEDEALER'S PRIEM, occurred last w ee k at Ostornell'aiP.c—omAm fatal ison accident stables.

Mr. Osborne , on le arning the fatal result,n expressed the deepest regret, and declared that he had not only lost a servant, but a friend who had served him faithfully for thirty years. O n be ing asked if Wise had left any family, he said, "He has left a wife and three daughters, who are able to maintain their mother,and , I have already told her that as long as shei lives she shall retain rent free the rooms her husband has so l ong occu pied. She shall never want,'' he added, for as lon g a Harry Osborne has a c rust, she shall h ave half of it.' Such conduct needs no comment. BATHS IN MARYLEI3ONE.—On Saturday a special vestry decided unanimously on the establishment, in the above parish, of baths and washhouses for the labouring classes, in pursuance of the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 74. - A NOVELTY IN THE STREETS OF LONDON. —Seats are now being placed, similar to those in the parks, for the use of the public, beneath a handsome row of on the foot pavem ent in Piccadilly. trees, An extra Gazette was published on Saturday, con taining an Order in Council respecting the admission of goods into the port of Natal, and also a list of articles which are prohibited from being imported. The prohi bitions extend to gunpowder, ammunition, and other articles. This Gazette also contains a list of R a il way and other Bills, wh ich it is intended to apply for in the course of the next session. A failure, supposed to have arisen out of that of Messrs. Barman and Co., was announced on Saturday afternoon of a house connected with the speller trade. q Its engagements are qu ite insignificant. Tim MURDER AT PAGENHAM. -- -During the past week circumstances have transpired which, it is hoped, will lead to something being done with reference to bringing the mystery which envelopes this murder to light. Several of the witnesses have, it is said, been sent for to Scotland-yard, and among them Mr. Collin, the medical gentleman who made an examinatisn of the body of the deceased Clarke, but the object of having them up there has not been ascertained. The police constables are still under surveillance at Dagenham, Wiener. COURT CIRCULAR.

BRUSSELS, Nov. s.—Our city has just been visited by 'at dreadful fire, in which several houses were con sumed, or very much injured, but there is reason to hope that no person has perished. The the broke out, between one and two o'clock in the morning, in the ex tensive manufactories of Mr. Pelseerer, timber-mer chant, in the Place Saint Gery. The warehouse and workshops contained not only a great quantity of various kinds of wood ready prepared, but also a vast accumulation of furniture. The ceighbouring houses were in part consumed, and others much damaged. A mags:zine containing a large stock of beer was destroyed, and the casks taking fire, the beer was all lost ; unhappily the river since was nearly dry, in consequence of the water having been turned off AT the purpose of cleaning the bed. Orders were given to open the sluices, but it was more than two hours before the fire engines could act with full effort. Several companies of cavalry were brought to keep order, a company of gensdarmes preceded the troops, and were employed in the same service; some of the spectators assisted the firemen and the soldiers both in working the engines and saving the furniture belong ing to the houses which were on fire, but they were not so numerous as might have been desired, We were sorry to observe that many workmen, attracted by cu riosity to the scene of the disaster, refused to afford any assistance. The amount of the damage is not known-300,000 francs is mentioned, but this is only a rough estimate. The greater part of the property was insured. The unexpected continuance of fine weather begins to alarm our gardeners. The fruit trees will actually suffer by it, for the buds swell and will be destroyed when the frost sets in, so that fruit will probably be scarce next year. But, on the other hand, the pro ductions of this season, such as turnips, carrots, &c., were never so fine or so abundant as at the present moment, so that the nurserymen and mar ket gardeners cannot sell them except at a very low price. It is surprising that the retail prices in the market do not fall in proportion. BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—Accounts from Vienna, of the 29th October, state positively that the Austrian Govern ment intend to issue shortly notes to the amount of 25 millions of florins, which, like the English Exchequer bills, will bear interest at 3 per cent., and may be ex changed for money upon being presented at the Bank. This issue will not exclude the plan of a loan at 5 per cent. VIENNA, OCT. 31.—IIis Imperial Highness the Arch duke Stephen, who was already on his journey hither, was overtaken by a courier, who was dispatched after him, and who brought the unexpected intelligence that his father had suffered a relapse, in consequence of which the Prince immediately returned to Ofen. MONTENEGRO CATTARO, OCT. 26.—Recents events in Montenegro explain the cause of the unexpected visit of the Vladika. The Pacha of Scutari, Osman Malson Pacha, is employing every means in his power to create a party in Montenegro, to set them against the Vladika, and gain them over to the Turkish Government, in which he has been successful in many instances, by means of presents and bribes. For some months the Vladika has hesitated to grant consecration to several priests of the Turkish party in Montenegro. By com mand of the Pacha they were consecrated by the bishop, and afterwards received rich presents. In consequence of this, !serious discussion arose in Montenegro, where many are going over to the side of the Pacha every day. The Vladika, whose influence is thus greatly weakened, and who sees the number of his subjects greatly diminish, is accordingly going to Vienna and Constantinople to give those Courts a personal detail of the actual state of things. Thirty steam-boats on the western rivers of America are lighted withtgas, made by apparatusin:esch vessel, from the grease of its kitchen.

" LOVE HAS WINGS."—A couple from Ashby-de la-Zouch, attended, one day last week, at Quorndam Baptist Chapel, a distance of 30 miles, to be married ; but, as the minister was about registering the marriage, they found that they had forgotten the registrar's certifi cate. As there was every danger, if time permitted, of the marriage being forbidden, the bridegroom instantly set off for the certificate, with which, to the great joy of the bride, and the astonishment of the spectators, he re turned in three hours, having posted the whole of the way backwards and forwards. ROBBERY AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. --Friday, information was forwarded to the London police, that between the hours of two and seven o'clock on Tuesday last, sown thief stole from the rooms of Thomas Acton, Esq., of Emmanuel Collece, Cambridge, a dre n ss d in i g )u -b b o i r n , containing a letter of credit on the London a Bank for 30. 7 ., four 51. Bank of England notes, four or five sovereigns, and about twenty shillings in silver ; also, several bills and letters of consequence, and a va riety of articles of value. A MAN STUNG TO DEATIL-011 Friday week an inquest was held at llemsby, Suffolk, on the body of Mr. Palmer, a miller, in that village, who a few days before had, while employed in his ,garden, accidentally overturned a skep of bees. The insects attacked the in truder, and stung him so dreadfully, that he died a short time afterwards. The jury found a verdict accordingly. —Cambridge Independent Press.

AV AL INTELLIGENCE. PORT ROYAL, JAMAICA, OCT. 9.—ThePiekle schooner, Lieut, Henry Bernard, did not sail till the 27th ult., when she embarked the Hon. Colonel Bruce for the Ha vannab, en route to Canada. The United States' steam-sipop Spitfire, Commander Tatnall, having completed her defects, sailed on the 24th ult. for Chagres. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Forth, Captain , Chapman, arrived on the Ist instant from the Spanish Main. Among her passengers from Chagres is Com modore Sloat, late Commander-in Chief of the United States' squadron in the Pacific, on his way to New York. The Gallant Officer paid his respects to our worthy Commodore, and sailed on the 3d instant in the Tay, for Ilavannah. The intelligence brought by the party from the Pacific confirms that which we received in this island two months ago, viz., that California was formally taken possession of by the American forces. When Commo dore Sloat left Monterey on the 29th July, all Upper California, north of Santa Barbara, was in the full and quiet possession of the American forces, apparently, it is said, very much to the satisfaction of all the inhabitants, who have been long desirous of seeing their country under some stable government. The Ui:ited State4' steam-frigate Princetown was at Chagres when the Furth lett, burwas to come on to this island f or a supply of coals. The' Princetown had con veyed dispatches thither fur the American Commander in-Chief in the Pacific. rac T te h r e . in i t , e r l e li s gn id e en c o President R fr ic m h e ll w al s q p i r is og o r f es a s n i r g in t i e n re h s i t s ingcba- philan thropic efforts to unite the two divisions of the island under one government, and in many internal reforms, chiefest of which was the substituting coin for paper money. The ocean in this neighbourhood has 'been unusually agitated for the last few days, that miserable cemetery, the Palisades, and the town of Port Royal, having been partially flooded by the waves. This circumstance, it is feared, indicates the near approach of a hurricane, or that some of the neighbouring islands have been visited by this direful scourge. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Forth sails to-day at noon with the mails for Jacmel, Porto Rico, St. Thomas and Bermuda, at which latter island she delivers the mails, &c., for England, to the Thames, which vessel proceeds on to Southampton. The Clyde is at Grenada, bound to Trinidad ; the Trent bound to this island, and the Tay on her passage to the Gulf of Mexico. In harbour—lmaum, 72, receiving ship, with the flag of Commodore Pring, and the Royal Mail Company's steamer Tweed, Captain Parsons. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.

ALLEDGED INFRINGMENT OF COPYRI G HT.—Mr. Ser geant TALFOURD moved for a rule to show cause why the registration of a certain book at Stationers'-hall, calls 1 the " Bible Student's Concordance," should not be expunged. He made the application under the 14th section of the Copyright Amendment Act. The plain tiff Pick, was a German, and the defendant was Colonel Henry Le Blon, of the Royal Chelsea Hospital. A few years ego the former was desirous of writing the book in question, but had not the means of doing so at the time. Being intimate with the defendant, an arrangement was come to by which the defendant agreed to pay the plaintiff 1/. a week while the work was preparing. He also got some other friends to advance sums of money. When the book was ready Col. Le Blon became security to the printer for getting it up. He then registered it in his name. The plaintiff denied he had ever given him authority to do so, but only gave him a lien on the edi tion for the advances which had been made.—Rule granted. Their Lordship, having received an invitation to at tend the banquet given by the Lord Mayor to-night at Guildhall, rose early. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION LINE TO LEAMINGTON. In this case, in which a fiat of bankruptcy had been issued against this company, an application was made to the Learned Commissioner to adjudicate. The fiat had been issued on a notice of dissolution inserted in the Gazelle. The Learned COMMISSIONER, after baying perused the Act and consulted Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, said that he entertained doubts whether this amounted to an act of bankruptcy, and he must take time to consider. The SOLICITOR said that he had taken the opinion of a very eminent counsel, Mr. Swanston, and he was clearly of opinion that it was. The Learned CODIMISSIONEn said it was a point of such importance that he must take time; he would, however, give his decision to-morrow, and, in the mean time, no other creditor should b e admitted to come in. The fiat is dated the 6th instant. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Robins and David Russell, who described them selves as gardeners, were placed at the bar b e f ore M r . Hall charged with being drunk and disorderly in Museum-street, on Saturday night. Robins was further charged with furiously driving a cart, and assaulting Policeman E 62, and Russell with assaulting Policeman E 56, and attempting to stab him with a large clasp fe. Policeman E 62 said that on Saturday night a little after seven o'clock, he saw a horse and cart standing opposite to a public-house in Museum-street, without any one attending to it. At length Russell came out of the public-house and attempted to get into the cart, but he was so drunk that he fell back on the footway. Witness helped him to get up. He said the cart was his, but there was another young man in the public house who drove it, and he was sober. Witness then allowed him to return to the public-house. After a few minutes some people came out of the public-hr use, carrying Robins, between them, " bun dled him into the curt," and gave him the reins. Witness, perceiving that he was quite drumk, ran to the horse's head and attempted to stop him, but the prisoner flogged the horse violently. Robins then drove down the street and round the corner into Great Russell-strcet, at a most furious rate. At this moment Russell came out of the public-house and ran in the same direction. Witness ran after him, and caught him in Russell-street. He was about to take him to the station, but seeing the cart, which had been stopped by some passers by at a short distance, he left Russell and ran towards it. When he came up to the cart he proceeded to take Robins into custody. He, however, resisted, struck witness several times, and at length succeeded in getting away and driving off again. He was afterwards stopped in Hart-street, Bloomsbury, and taken to the station. Police E 146, said that be found the prisoner Russell in Russell•street, lying across the footway in the place where 62 had left him. There was a crowd round about him from whom he learned that the prisoner belonged to the cart which he saw at some distance. Witness took Russell in custody and followed to Hart•street, where he found the cart, and the prisoner Robins, who was then in custody of 62. Policeman E 56, received the charge at the station. Russell appeared very low spirited, and said that he had been in the habit of driving for 15 years, and bad never been in any " mess " before. Witness, to encourage him, said he did not think he was in much of a mess now. The prisoner a few minute's afterwards took from his pocket a large and formidable looking clasp knife (pro duct d by witness), with which he made a kta) at him, but witness saved himself by throwing up his arm. He received a severe cut on the back of the hand. It was cut to the bone. Another constable went behind the prisoner and seized him, while witness disarmed him. The other policeman (E 152,) corroborated this state ment. The prisoner Russell, who is gardener in a gentle man's family, said that he very much regretted his mis conduct, and was ready to make any reparation in his power. Lie was drunk, or he would not have done it. He hoped he would be treated leniently as it was the first offence. The prisoner Robins, who is a market gardener, made a similar defence. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner Russell till to-mor row, and fined Robins 60s. for the assault on E 62, and 50s. for the furious driving, or, in default of payment, sentenced him to 21 days imprisonment for the former, and 14 days for the latter offence. Richard Rawlings and Mary Caley, waiter and house maid at Mr. Orlando Wells, the Pine Apple, Hunger ford-market, were charged before Mr. Hall with stealing a bottle of wine, value 25., the property of their em ployer. Mrs. Wells, the prosecutor's wife, last night found the prisoners in the china closet drinking wine. Mr. Wells asked them where they got it, and Raw lings said " You got it from Joe Lee, did not you?" The other prisoner answered, " Yes; he took it from the cellar." Joseph Lee, cellarman to Mr. Wells, said that he had never given wine or anything else to either of the prisoners. Rawlings said that he knew nothing about the rob bery, and the female prisoner said she got the wine from Lee, which Lee still denied. Mr. HALL thought it would be most satisfactory to leave it to a jury to say which side was to believed, and he would therefore commit the prisoners for trial. M ARLBRO'-STREET.—(T HIS DAY.) 'Charles Dowding, assistant in the alamode-beef shop, No. 4, Charles-street, was charged with attempting to pick pockets in the crowd gathered about the Castle street barracks. D. W. Thomas, assistant -shopkeeper, said he was in the crowd which was listening to the band, in Castle street barracks, last night, about nine o'clock, and the defendant came alongside of him, and began to feel his pockets. He put his hand on his left breeches pocket, and then walked round, and with his hand in his own gr( atcoat•pocket felt his right breeches pocket through the coat lining. Complainant without speaking to the man, walked aside and informed a policeman of what had occurred. Ho went back into the crowd and the defendant returned, and after feeling his breeches pocket, us la, fore, attempted to insert his fingers into his waistcoat pocket up beneath the breast of his coat, which was buttoned at the time. He asked him what he was feeling his pockets for, but the defendant retired, without speaking, across the street, and when he saw complainant speak to a policeman he ran. Defendant—Did not I ask you what you meant when you spoke to me ?—Complainant said he did not return any answer whatever. Thomas Brown, constable 131 A, said he advised the complainant to return into the crowd and followed him. Ile saw the defendant go behind him and feel his coat right breech es pocket with the back of pocket, and , then pass roun d to the right side and rub complainants his hand.

Edmund Gayton, the author of the description of that year, says, " Our metropolis for these planetary pageants was as famous and renowned in foreign nations us for their faith, wealth, and valour." On Lord Mayor's Day, 1671, the King, Queen, and Duke of York, and most of the nobility being present, there were "sundry shows, shapes, scenes, speeches, and song s i n parts:" and the like, in 1672 and 1673, whan the King again "graced the triumphs."
