IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 28. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. At a Quarter -past Two o'clock the LORD CHIN ezmoR entered the House, robed as one of the Lords Commissioners, and, upon taking his seat on the Wool• sack, stated that her Majesty had been pleased to grant two commissions, one giving her royal assent to several Bills, and the other proroguing Parliament. The Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Spencer, the Earl of Minto, and Lord Campbell then took their seats below the throne as Lords Commis sioners, and the Commons having been summoned by Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, to ttie bar of the House, the Royal Assent was given to the following Bills : Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill. Customs Duties (No. 2.) Bill. Small Debts Bill - . Contagious Diseases Prevention Bill. Wreck and Salvage Bill. British Possessions Bill. New Zealand Government Bill. Waste Lands (Australia) Bill. Ejectments, Soc. (Ireland) Bill. Leases (Ireland) Bill. Mandamus (Ireland) Bill. Fisheries (Ireland) Bill. Public Works (Ireland—No. 4) Bill. Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill. Pawnbrokers' Bill. - Steam Navigation Bill. Drainage of Lands (Ireland) Bill. Railway Commissioners' Bill. Private Bills Bill. Poor Employment (Ireland) Bill. Public Works (Ireland --No. 5) Bill. Rateable Property (Ireland) Bill. District Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill. Camerons' Coalbrook Steam Coal and Swansea and Loughor Railway Bill. The South Devon Railway Amendment and Branches (No. 2) Bill. After the royal assent had been given to the above Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR then in a clear voice read the speech from her Majesty, as follows: " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " We are commanded by her Majesty to express to you the warm acknowledgments of her Majesty for the public spirit you have evinced in the discharge of your laborious duties during an anxious and pro tracted session. " Her Majesty trusts that you will be rewarded by witnessing the beneficial results of the measures which have been sanctioned by her Majesty for the present relaxation and ultimate repeal of protective duties on corn and sugar. " Her Majesty entertains a confident hope that the more free admission of the produce of foreign coup• tries lido the home market will increase the comforts and better the condition of the great body of the people. " Her Majesty feels the greatest satisfaction in re flecabg that her Majesty's efforts to settle, in a manner consistent with national honour, the conflicting claims of Great Britain and the United States, with respect to the territory on the North West Coast of America, have been completely successful. " Her Majesty continues to receive from all Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their desire to cultivate friendly relations with this country. " Her Majesty commands us to congratulate you on the victorious course and happy conclusion of the war in India, and her Majesty has much gratification in announcing to you that perfect tranquillity pre voile throughout the whole of the British possessions in that quarter of the world. " GENTLEMEN Or THE HOUSE OP COMMONS, _ "Her Majesty has observed with satisfaction the care you have taken to prevent permanel loss to the revenue, and to maintain the public faith. "Her Majesty has commanded us to acknowledge the zeal and unanimity with which you assented to the increase in the naval and military estimates which a regard to the exigencies of the public service induced her Majesty to propose for your consideration. " Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " Her Majesty has to lament that the recurrence of a failure in the potato crop, in an aggravated degree, will cause a serious deficiency in the quantity of a material article of food. " Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to measures by which this calamity may be mitigated in that part of the United Kingdom where the cultiva• tion of the potato has hitherto affbrded the chief supply for the subsistence of the people. " Her Majesty has seen with pleasure that a con siderable diminution of crime and outrage has taken place in those counties of Ireland which had been most disturbed. " Her Majesty is confident that on your return to your several counties, you will find a spirit of loyalty generally prevalent. The extension of works of improvement has increased the demand for labour, and the tranquillity of the country has favoured the pursuits of industry in all its branches. " Her Majesty trusts that by a combination of prudence with enterprise, and of a willing obedience to law with a desire for social progress, her people will, through the Divine blessing, enjoy the full ad vantages of peace." The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then, in her Majesty's name, and by her Majesty's command, declared the Parliament prorogued to Wednesday, the 4th of No vember. It may not be amiss to state that during the present session the Royal Assent has been given to no less than 570 Bills. Several of the Foreign Ministers wore present and the ceremony was graced by many of the fair sex. Thus has ended; session unparalleled in the extent of its ex istence, and only equalled in its importance by that Ivhich passed the Reform Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 28. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) lir. T. DIMTCOMBE presented a petition from Mr. Philips, a proprietor of the Bellevue Lunatic Asylum, praying for an alteration of the law regulating lunatic asylums. The lion. MEMBER also presented a petition from Charles Watts, a private in the 71st company of marines, complaining of having suffered corporal punishment unjustly, and praying that the House would order an inquiry to be instituted into the conduct of the commanding officer of that company. Mr. AGLIONBY gave notice that, next session, he •would move for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the inclosure of commons, and to provide that all waste common lands might be made into lots as freeholds, vithout respect to the ancient tenure of lands. Mr. PHILLIPS presented a petition from Manches ter, praying for additional representatives for the borooghs in that district. PO OR-L AW S. Mr. BORTHA ICK wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of her Maj.-sty's Government on what terms the House separated with regard to the question of the poor-laws. He had given notice of two motions on the subject, but had withdrawn them on the assurance that the subject would be taken into consideration next session. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he would not then venture to state what: measures her Majesty's Govern ment would propose with regard to the poor-law, but he woold promise the Hon. Gentleman that unless he did prol.'ose some inquiry, or take some steps tending to show the necessity of such an inquiry, the motion of the Hon. Gentleman for a Select Committee of the whole House would not be objected to. PROMOTIONS IN THE POLICE. _ _ Mr. PROTHEROE wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the impression which had been created in the public mind in consequence of some statements in the public papers that the promotion of the police depended upon the number of convictions they had obtained, was .correct or not. Sir G. GREY had received an assurance from the police Commissioners that there was no such rule j existence, and that their rules were founded upon totally different principles. ANDOVER UNION. _ _ WAKLEY wished to call Ilia attention of the Rig bt lion. Baronet to a letter which had appeared in the Times of that morning from a person named Maker. It stated that the witnesses called before the Committee of th at House for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of the Guardians of the Ando ver - Union had received no protection since from - the Right Honourable. Baronet, who was in effect himself the head of the Poor-law Commission. Tacker was a man with a wife and three children, and rec atved an allowance of 3d. per week before the inquiry of Ow Committee, but having been called as a witness before that Committee, his relief had since been stopped, and he was left to starve. He (Mr. Wakley) thought that some protection ought to be afforded to those witnesses. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he had had no time that day to look at the letter in question, but he would direct his attention to it at a future opportunity. He .did not, however, know if he had any power to interfere in the matter referred to. The Usher of the Black Rod here made his appear ni tee to summon the House to hear the Royal Assent gi N 'en to several Bills, and to hear her Majesty's most gm , zious Speech upon the prorogation of Parliament. On' the Speaker's return he took his seat at the table, an d r 'ad her Majesty's speech, and the House then s ep sra t ed. ARMAGH, COLERAINE, AND PORTRUSH RAILWAY. A numerous and respectable meeting of sharehold ers of this Company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of an amalgamation with the Dublin and Belfast Junc. tion Railway Company. In the absence of the Right Hon. George Dawson, the chairman, Mr. Fox was called to the chair. The SECRETARY having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said, that having heard the advertise ment they were aware that they were called together for the purpose of taking the sense of the shareholders on the proposed amalgamation. They, the directors, thought it would be desirable to effect that amalgama • don. Their line, as they were aware, went through some of the richest parts of the couatry in all the features that would enrich a railway proprietary. The railway would pass through Loughrea. The property here traversed belonged to the Irish Society, who were the best landlords in Ireland. The competing line started about the same time, and when such was the case it must be evident that it was a desirable project. The Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine line differed in one or two particulars from their line. They intended to connect Stewardstown and Portadown with the Ulster Railway, while the other company took a slightly different direction. The expense of a contest would have been very great, and, therefore, it was resolved by both parties to refer it to that eminent engineer Mr. Rastrick. The reference was before him for a consider able time, and it appeared desirable for both parties to abide by the award which he made, the particulars of which were contained in the report that would be sub mitted to them. In fact, it would be seen that they suf fered no disadvantage from the alterations suggested by Mr. Rastrick, and that the line of the competing Com pany was, in reality more their (the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush's) than their former rival's. It would be seen, from the report, that the other Company, having agreed to amalgamate, had placed on the board eight of their directors, and eight of their own. This joint board had all sat together, workinc , harmoniously for the interests that were now identified . ' He did not think it was necessary to advert to any other topic in the report.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the proposed amalgamation should be agreed to. A long and desultory discussion here ensued as to whether a protest which had been handed to the Chair man should be read; and which not only dissented to the proposed amalgamation, but characterised the present meeting as illegal 7 . The CHAIRMAN said he thought they should confine themselves to the specific object for which the meeting had been convened. _ . . . It was then put to the meeting whether the protest should be read, and the motion was negatived. Mr. MAXWELL and Mr. RICHARDSON addressed the meeting against the proposed amalgamation, which they denounced as wholly illegal. The Secretary then read the following report: — "The directors have convened this meeting of the shareholders in the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway Company, to lay before them the terms of the amalgamation which have been entered into by them on the part of this Company with the directors of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company; and also to give a brief statement of the reasons which in duced them to form what they conceived to be a most desirable junction with what was once a powerful oppo sition company. " It will be remembered that the project for construct ing a line of railway from Armagh to Portrush origi nated in the latter part of the year 1944, when every endeavour was made to ascertain the statistics of the company, and the particular information necessary for so important an undertaking. In the spring of 1845 the company was established. The Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company, with which, as beforb stated, an amalgamation has taken place, was formed about the same period. The object was nearly the same, being only characterised with some few distinctions as to the precise country that it should serve in the direc tion of the line, not material to be noticed here. It was impossible to deny but that there were features in both schemes that were deserving of great public support ; and the two companies for a considerable time disputed the ground with each other without it appear. ing very probable that either would recede, or that any particular advantage would result to the shareholders of either scheme. The directors, under these circum stances, felt that it was worse than useless to continue a fruitless opposition, and they considered themselves bound, upon every principle of justice to the share holders, to effect a cessation of hostilities if possible, provided they could ultimately obtain their object, which was to make the line of railway from Armagh to Portrush. They are happy to say that a correspond ing disposition was evinced on the part of the directors of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Railway. Overtures for a treaty were therefore made, and in the month of November last the deputations from each company met and arranged that, as the two lines were nearly identical, together with the branches, the selec tion of the line to go forward in Parliament should be left to Mr. Rastrick, and that the solicitors of each company—Mr. Ogle and Mr. Sutton —should attend him, accompanied by the engineers, for that purpose. It is proper to remark here that the line projected by the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company was intended to pass through the estates of the Mercers' Company, and ,that that powerful body were, therefore, disposed to support them in Parliament, and, on the other hand, to afford every practical op position to the proposed line of this company, which was not so well calculated to benefit their estates. After a number of successive meetings Mr. Rastrick, by consent of the parties. selected the Dublin and Belfast Junction line with certain modi fications, availing himself of those features in the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush line, which he con sidered of great importance to the perfection of the scheme. The following is an extract from Mr. Ras trick's award : " ' Ist. That part of the main line of the Dublin, Bel fast, and Coleraine Junction from Portadown to Stewarts town to be entirely abandoned. " 2d. The branch from Stewartstown to Armagh to be adopted as a portion of the main line. "` 3d. The branch from Dungannon, crossing the main line at Killyman, and going direct to Portadown, to be substituted instead of the line between Stewarts town and Portadown. " 4th." The branch from Castle Dawson, at Randals town, as laid down on the plan of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Railway to be the line adopted.'" "Upon this award being made an amalgamation of the two companies took place ; the substance of which was, that a joint board was to be farmed, consisting of eight members of each committee; that the funds of the two companies be placed at the disposal of the united board ; that the line to be so constructed should be called " The Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction ;" that the share holders should reciprocate equally in the benefits, and that the expences heretofore incurred, as well as the future, should be pail out of the joint funds, and, lastly, that the shareholders of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company should be admitted shareholders in the united company upon equal terms as the subscribers to the original scheme. It may be observed, that the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction shares, which were originally so/. shares, were reduced, uader the provisions of the Act just obtained, to 251. shares, for the purpose of meeting the convenience of the shareholders in this Company, whose shares were only 251., and that a shareholder in the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Company, and the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company, will therefore be entitled for every share he holds in either of the above companies to have one in the Dublin, Bel fast, and Coleraine Junction Company. " The directors having made these arrangements, immediately announced by advertisement, for the infor mation of the t,liareholders, that the amalgamation had taken place, and they have only waited for the royal assent being given to the Bill before they called together the subscribers to submit the particulars of their proceedings, and, as they hope, to receive from them their sanction and approval. The directors, in conclusion, would only remind the shareholders that, by adopting these measures, they have saved a very considerable expenditure of money, and secured, by the co-operation of the two bodies, the safety of a Bill for car rying out the project. The object originally contem plated has been attained, the opposition which once ex isted converted into a friendly alliance, and the interests of the shareholders preserved and protected to the utmost." The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the re port, which was seconded. An amendment was proposed and seconded, to the effect that the amalgamation should not take place, and that the money to which the shareholders were entitled should be refunded, and the Company dissolved. Mr. WILSON said he thought it would be consulting the best interests of the company if they proceeded with the proposed amalgamation. Several other shareholders expressed themselves to the same effect. Scrutineers having been appointed, Ten of the shareholders left the room, and, from the statement of the scrutineers, it appeared that the amend ment was negatived, and the original resolution carried; the numbers being For the amalgamation 7,595 Against it B7O Those holding scrip were permitted to vote, and there appeared to be the strongest desire on the part of the chairman to give all parties fair play. Captain Heaviside was then moved to the chair, and the cordial thanks of the meeting voted to the Chair man and the other directors for the zealous and efficient manner in which they had discharged their duties. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ments. The meeting then separated. AFFRAY WITH POACFIERS.—On Wednesday night last an affray of a serious nature took place between three game keepers in the employ of J. F. Featherstone, Esq., of Milton House, near Rayborougb, and a party of poachers. It ap pears that information had been conveyed to the keepers, that two men belonging to the neighbourhood, well-known poachers, intended trying certain open lands, abounding with partridges, with a description of n e t genera lly used upon such occasions, and the keepers were accordingly on the look-out. At a late hour, five men made their appear ance and commenced operations, but were speedily inter rupted by the keepers, when a fight took place. Neither party carried fire-arms, but a desperate struggle was main tained with stout sticks, during which, one of the keepers was struck down senseless by a blow on the head, and his companions, finding the poachers too much for them, were obliged to retreat. The poachers having decamped, the keepers returned to the spot where the affray took place, and carried off their wounded companion. On examination, the man's skull was found to be dangerously fractured. On the following morning two of the ping, who had been recognised by the keepers, were taken into custody. THE SUN LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1846. PROTESTS AGAINST THE SUGAR DUTIES ACT. LORD STANHOPE'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the importation into the United Kingdom of sugar which is produced by the labour of slaves tends to promote the slave trade, with all its atrocities, and is quite inconsistent with the principle upon which this country has so long acted, and for which it has made, and still continues to make enormous sacrifices. 2. Because there is no reason to apprehend a deficiency in the supply of sugar from other sources, as the quan tity which is produced in the East Indies and in other British possessions is rapicly increasing, which would also be the case with the British colonies in the West Indies if they received due protection and encouragement. 3. Because the proposed measure would be most un just to those colonies, and would be ruinous to their in terests, which have already been grievously injured by reducing the price of their produce without a cor responding reduction of the taxation to which it is sub ject, and by the want of sufficient labourers for their cultivation. 4. Because the consequences of the proposed measure might be very calamitous, and might occasion such dis tress and discontent as would ultimately lead to the separation of those very important colonies, which, whe❑ deprived of the protection that is justly due to them, might also lose their allegiance. STANHOPE. LOVELL and HOLLAND. GAGE. DENMAN, for the first reason. Aug. 10, 1846. S. OXON, for the first reason. LORD BEXLEY'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the theories by which this Bill is defended, if true, ought to have been long ago laid before the public, in order to their being fully and impartially con sidered ; whereas this Bill, which assumes their truth without adequate discussion, has been passed with such haste and in such a crisis of affairs as to preclude inquiry. 2. Because the slave trade carried on from the coasts of Africa has long been acknowledged by the Legisla- ture of this country, and by the general consent of civilised nations, to be the greatest practical and moral evil now existing upon earth, and this country has, under this conviction, for many years attempted to sup press it at a great expenditure, not only of money, but of the lives of her people. 3. Because this trade is now almost wholly confined to the export of slaves from Africa to Brazil, and to the Spanish colonies in the West Indies, for the purpose of the cultivation of sugar; and on that account the con sumption of sugar produced in those countries has been subjected to heavy discriminating duties. 4. Because this Bill, by opening the British market to sugar the production of Brazil and the Spanish colonies on equal terms with that of countries in which no slave trade has been carried on for many years, and even with the colonies and dominions of Britain, must give a great and immediate encouragement to that unchristian and inhuman traffic. 5. Because to give any encouragement to such a traffic for the sake of any expected fiscal or commercial advantages would cover this country with indelible dis grace, as an infamous barter of our religious and moral duties for mere lucre. 6. Because this Bill inflicts a grievous injury on the British colonists by exposing their produce to the un restricted competition of foreign countries, which con tinuo to be supplied with the labour of African slaves. BELEY. S. OXON, for reasons 1,2, 3,4, and 5. DENMAN. Aug. 13, 1846. LORD ELLENBOROUGH'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the Bill, by increasing the consumption of sugar the produce of Brazil and Cuba, will increase the demand for the slave labour by which that sugar is pro.. duced, and thus tend to stimulate the slave trade, through which that labour is supplied. 2. Because the Government of this country has been engaged for more than 30 years in endeavouring to in duce all foreign states to prohibit and prevent the slave trade ; and has recently concluded a treaty with France for the conjoint application of a large naval force to its suppression, while Parliament has passed enactments of an unusual and stringent character to facilitate the ac complishment of that object. 3. Because, to establish relations which tend, by en couraging the slave-trade, to counteract the measures so adopted for its suppression, is inconsistent with good faith towards France, our ally, and disparaging to the policy and to the reputation of this country. 4. Because the immediate reduction of the discrimi nating duties on British and foreign sugar, in the man ner proposed, and the gradual assimilation of those duties as it is to be effected by the Bill, are measures for which India and the colonies are in their present condition not ,sufficiently prepared, the West Indian colonies especially still suffering under the effect of the various conflicting enactments which Parliament—first, in its unscrupulous cupidity, and since in its late re pentent morality—has passed with respect to them, and India having been only recently enabled, by a tardy act of common justice, to compete on eqnal terms with the other sugar-producing dominions of the Crown. 5. Because the projected scheme for facilitating the in troduction of labourers from Africa into the West India colonies is not yet in detail before Parliament, although proposed as a means of enabling those colonies to meet on more favourable terms the foreign competition to be created by the Bill; and there is but too much reason to apprehend (the condition of Africa being considered) that this projected scheme of relief cannot be effectual without practically reviving the slave trade in British vessels, under the specious disguise of immigration. 6. Because the whole measure is of a nature to convey the impression that the people of this country are become tired of the honourable but costly character they had as sumed, of the moral instructors of nations; that they are now resolved to seek compensation for the charge they are bound by treaty to incur, in endeavouring to suppress the slave trade, from the increased revenue to be derived from regulations tending to its encourage ment; and that they no longer acknowledge th e c l a i m o f India and the colonies to have their interests equally considered, although unrepresented in Parliament. ELLE GII, S. OXON, for the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 6th reasons. BEXLEY. BROUGHAM. Aug. 13, 1846. THE P OST-OFFICE ORDER FORGERY. William Waldron, who stands charged with fraudu lently obtaining a ost-office order, by forged letters to the secretary of the General Post-office, who was appre hended a few days since at Berkhampstead, has been finally examined by the Mayor of Banbury. Mr. Phillips, from the solicitor's office, Post-office, at tended to conduct the prosecution, but said that, under the circumstances, the Postmaster-General did not press the charge, but left it with the magistrates to deal with it according to their judgment. The facts stated at the previous examination were, that so long bacjc as January last a Post-office order was obtained by a Mr. Palmer, of Gravesend, and en closed in a letter directed to a Mr. Davis, a theatrical performer, then at the Daventry Theatre; but it after wards appeared that he never received the letter, but that some other parson had written from Banbury, re questing the Secretary of the General Post-office to allow the town of payment to be altered from ,Daventry to Banbury; the letters were written in the name of Davis, and the request was complied with. Mr. Peake, the officer of the establishment, however, traced the prisoner, and apprehended him. Palmer, clerk to Messrs. Matthews and Co., solicitors, at Gravesend, deposed that on the 17th of January last he obtained an order in favour of Davis, payable at Daventry, and never heard any more of it till May last, when he was surprised by Davis stating he had not re ceived it. Davis deposed that he was a performer in Jackerman's company, and that he lodged with the prisoner, who was also a performer. Prisoner knew that he had written for money. Witness left Daventry two days before the company, and came to London ; the company went on to Banbury. Witness never gave any sanction to prisoner to take the letters, receive the money, or to write to the Post-office authorities on the subject of having the order transferred, The handy% riting of the letters he believed to be that of the prisoner. The postmistress at Banbury deposed that the pri soner, representing himself as Davis, took the order, and asked how h e was t o procee d in the matter to have it altered to Banbury, and she suggested the applica tion to the secretary. About a fortnight after, a Miss Capron, of Banbury, presented the order, and on her statement that Davis was ill she paid the amount. Miss Capron deposed that she presented the order at the request of the prisoner, who lodged with her father, and paid the money to him. The prisoner admitted that he had written the letters to the secretary, and intended to have made up the amount. The MAYOR said that, in order to protect the public, he had no other alternative than to commit the prisoner for trial at the next assizes, and bound over the post office constable to prosecute. Bail could not be accepted under the circumstances. SLAVE TRADE.-It appears from returns just laid before Parliament, that in the year 1845, there were 56 ships of war (of 886 guns, and 9,289 men) employed for the sup pression of the slave trade. Of these, 13 were steam vessels, and 28 sloops; and 27 ships with 282 guns, and 3,334 men were employed on the west coast of Africa sta tion. In the same year, 1845, the cost of the vessels on the west coast of Africa, was '291,501/. ; and of vessels not exclusively used on the coast, 414,953/., making a total of 706,4541. There were 166 deaths on the west coast of Africa in the year, officers and men; and 93 in the vessels employed elsewhere, making a total of 259 deaths ; more over, there were 271 officers and men invalided-104 in the vessels on the west coast of Africa. VESSEL PICKED Up.—On Friday, as the Waterloo, of London, was passing St. Abb's Head, she spied at a dis tance the hull of a vessel buffeted about by the wind and waves as if no person was on board. She made up to her, and on boarding found her to be the Alexandre, a fishing lugger, of Gravelines, apparently about 60 tons burthen. There was no person on board, and the masts were cut away as if with a hatchet, the mainmast about two feet and the foremast about seven feet from the deck. Not a rope or block was to be found. The cabin companion was carried away and the hatches were broken up. No provisions were found except a cask of biscuit and a small quantity of potatoes. Not the least appearance of the men's chests or bedding were to be seen. She was laden with herring barrels, a few of them filled with salt, the rest empty. The vessel was brought up on Saturday by the Waterloo as far as Broughty Castle, and afterwards towed to the harbour by one of her boats, where she now lies, What has become of the crew remains as yet a mystery.—.

Chief Cashier. AN ENTHUSIAST.—We read in a Belgian journal— " The sale of the gallery of paintings of M. Van N., of Brussels, who died in the course of the last month, is ad vertised. This celebrated amateur not only devoted his life, but sacrificed the whole of his fortune, which originally pro duced him a revenue of 40,0G0f. a-year, to his passion for possessing the masterpieces of the great Flemish artists. Reduced by this to the want of even the necessaries of life, he could not be induced to part with even one of his cherished treasures. At last, an old servant, who continued to serve him without wages, converted the gallery into a source for the maintenance of his master and himself, by applying the gratuities given him for showing the splendid collection to visitors in purchasing food for them both. A few years ago the faithful and affectionate old servant died, and M. Van N., hopeless of finding another on the same terms, took the office upon himself. When visitors came to view the gallery, he put on the old livery, and attended them through it, dis playing a critical acquaintance with the merits of each pic ture that delighted all and astonished those who were able to appreciate his erudition. Sometimes the visitors, supposing him to be really the servant, would make the master the subject of sarcastic observations, some calling him an eccen tric fool, and others a madman, and wondering that his friends did not have him declared a lunatic. All this he listened to either with perfect indifference, or making palliat ing excuses, as his old servant used to do, and, when their curiosity was satisfied, holding out his hand for the accus tomed fee." MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of August 28.) - - SUGAR.-To-day there was little desire evinced to opCrate in West India Sugar, and prices are still lowering ; the quantity sold was only 250 hhds and tierces. The market closes with a quiet appearance for sugar, the produce of both free and slave labour. REFINED.—There has been a considerable falling off in the demand for Refined goods for home consumption this week; the refiners have been desirous to sell, and submited to a reduction in prices of 6d to is per cwt, still all descriptions have been sparingly dealt in. Treacle has not risen in value, but there has been a much better demand, and large parcels have been sold. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Bonded Crushed Sugar, but not at better prices. 11/Ltußrrius.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with little attention, and 4,563 bags 296 casks at public sale went at a decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was tot much in demand, and 4.540 bags at auction went 6d to is per cwt cheaper, but nearly the whole sold. Madras has declined in value Is. FOREIGN.—To-day Porto Rico Sugar was not so much in request, still 1,405 hhds 164 barrels at auction were chiefly sold, and at prices that averaged those previously current. COFFEE.—This afternoon West India Coffee was sparingly dealt in, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 264 tierces and bags Jamaica, a small part only sold 2s under former rates. For Ceylon the market has a quiet appearance. TEA.—The market hi.s presented a dull appearance all the week, and there is a larger quantity on offer privately of all descriptions. Although there are sellers of Black upon rather lower terms, still the town and country trade ope r ated with caution, taking only sufficient for their immediate wants. Green Tea has met with little attention, and prices are going down. The trade generally hold a fair quantity of all kinds of Tea. Public sales will be declared shortly. RlCE.—There has been much inquiry after Bengal for home consumption as well as for exportation, and buyers are willing to pay a further advance, but the supply at market being small, purchases of moment are prevented; by private contract many parcels have been sold. Java is wanted, but the market is still without supply. There are many buyers of Madras at the high rates of 16s to 17s, but few parcels are to be had. SPICKS.—There has not been much desire manifested to operate privately in Cassia Lignea, and 100 chests at auction sold at barely previous rates. Black Pepper has not im • proved in value, but there has been a brisker demand, and privately several parcels have been disposed of. SALITETRE.--To-day Rough met withiittle attention pri- vately, at public sale 1,255 bags of Calcutta were offered, and all taken in at easier rates. English Refined is still in good demand, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda has been less in request, and prices have fallen. Sriarrs.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum are unwilling to reduce their prices, although the home and export demand has been limited for all descriptions ; the purchases t hi s week have not exceeded 100 puns. Leeward Island has met with little attention, but prices do not give way. For Calcutta Is 11 lie' to 23 are the rates insisted upon for proof with certi ficate, but there are few orders. Demerara is not cheaper, but the demand has been trifling. Brandy has been in e xcellen t demand for home consumption ; sever al export orders were executed, and furth er a d vance d r ates given ; the home con sumption is rapidly on t h e i nc rease. Geneva has been largely dealt in for exportation, and higher rates are given. British Corn Spirits have been in excellent demand, and prices are firm. • OILS.—In Rape Seed Oil sales to a large extent have been made and at firm rates. In Linseed Oil any further im provement has been prevented from taking place by the in creased quantity produced ; the demand from the home trade however ha s b een good, but for exportation there has been scarcely any business transacted. Olive Oil has be en ex t ens i ve l y d ea lt in, and holders evince firmness. The pa rce l s o f C ocoa Nut Oil disposed of were at Vxra rates. has wet with a good demand. American ' Lard Oil has been sparingly dealt in. For Cod Oil the market has a dull appearance. There are very few shipping orders for Seal, and the home trade have operated with cau tion. Southern is nitto be had upon lower terms, but only a limited business has been transacted. TALLow.—All descriptions have met with increased atten tion, and prices are on the advance, notwithstanding arrivals are on the increase from all quarters. Russian has been ex tensively dealt in on the spot, and the rates given show an advance on those of this day week of 9d per cwt. For for ward delivery a •good deal has been done, and at improved rates. Town Tallow has been readily disposed of on the spot at 40s 6d to 41s. FRIDAY NIGHT S GAZETTE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 27. (Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) The Court was engaged nearly the whole day with two special jury cases, one respecting a watercourse, and another for a nuisance, the details of which were of no interest but to the parties. (Before Mr. ,Justice _ _ David 7 .. urkington was indicted for having, on the high seas, stolen 40 sovereigns, the property of Patrick Lynch. The prisoner, it appeared, was an Irishman, who had for some time carried on business as a cabinet-maker at New Orleans, and Aas a fellow-passenger with the pro secutor, on board the Cremona, from that port to Liver pool. He and his wife slept in a small house on the deck, which was also occupied by the prosecutor. The latter described himself as having been a soldier in the United States army for five years, and on his disc Large received a sum of upwards of 501. for arrears of pay, and for work of various kinds which he had performed. Of this money he, some time after he left New Orleans, sewed 40 sovereigns in a belt, and put the remainder in a purse. These he some time after deposited in his trunk, which was in the small house on deck already mentioned. On Easter Sunday he saw his money safe, but on the following Tuesday it was gone. Inquiries were made on board the ship, and the passengers were required to show what money they had got about them. The prisoner produced a purse with about 30s. in it, which he declared was all the money he had in the world. The search was unsuccessful. During the voyage, the prisoner asked the prosecutor whether the money he had lost was marked, and hearing it was not, he seemed anxious, several times, to impress on the mind of the prosecutor that, in that case, there was no use in trying to press it any further, and that when he gut to Liverpool any attempt to recover it would be in vain. The prisoner was observed, previous to the arrival of the vessel at Liverpool, planing a small piece of wood, and at another time busily engaged in doing something to the stock of his gun. On approaching Liverpool, the prosecutor went ashore, and came back with a policeman. The prisoner's gun was examined, and behind the metal plate on the stuck was found to b 3 scooped a small cavity, in which were a number of half-dollars, which, however, formed no part of the property lost. On a further search, in a large box he kept for his tools, a small hole was found behind the lock, in which was a sovereign. He said he had no more money. Ho wever, in another smaller box, placed behind a small bar of wood which ran across the lid to strengthen it, and which was similar to the bar he had been seen planing, were found 14 sovereigns. The prisoner, it appears, had several times during the voyage represented himself as having no money, and had repeatedly attempted to sell his watch to obtain the means of going home to Ireland. Ho was taken before the magistrate and discharged, but was subsequently appreheuded and committed for trial. In the sole of his boot several pieces of gold were found to be hidden, he havin g been seen, it was said, duri ng th e voyage, doing something to the boot in question. Mr. Sergeant WrexiNs addressed the jury for the de fence, contending that there was no evidence to show the prisoner had committed the rubbery—supposing the prosecutor had ever been robbed at all. His denial of being possessed of money was only in accordance with the practice of his countrymen in that class of life, who, when travelling, were wont, in some degree for security, and in some degree to stimulate the k ndness and charity of those among whom they were, to assume a poverty which sometimes was nut real. Verdict, Not Guilty. William Crawley was tried, on two successive indict ments, for cutting and wounding Mary Lawton and Catherine Riley. Mr. James appeared for the prosecution. The Prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared from the statement of Mary Lawton that she, being in company with another girl, met the pri soner, a sailor, at a public-house called Storey's, in this town. The prisoner asked the girl, the presecutrix's companion, to go out with him, which she declined, and shortly after, while he was sitting beside the prosecu trix, he, without apparently any provocation, struck her with his sheath knifo on the knee. He then went out, and the prosecutrix found herself wounded, the knife having leassed through her clothes and inflicted a wound, but not of any serious nature. He very shortly after, as appeared on the second indictment, went to,the house where Riley lived with her mother, and, according to Riley's statement, without any provocation whatever, broke his pipe across her face. She had known the pri soner before. On her going into the house he followed her, and went up stairs, where without, as the witness declared, anything further occurring, he kicked a young woman of the name of Toole, who was in the prosecu trix's company, and stabbed Riley herself in the cheek, and was making a second blow, when she put up her band and was wounded in one of the fingers. At the desire of the prisoner, the prosecutrix's mother was called. She said that she had been up in the room above where this was alleged to have taken place, and that there were many persons, men and women, assailing the prisoner there. His own stogy corresponded with this statement, and he declared that the wounds received by the prosecutrix must have taken place accidentally, when she was strug ;ling on the ground to get the knife from him, he having been obliged to draw it in self defence. Verdict on each indictment, Guilty of a common assault. To be imprisoned ten months on each indictment. James Lyon, a dissipated drunken-looking man, was indicted under the statute for stealing a lease, being evi dence of the title of John Maailade to a certain dwell ing -house. Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Blackburn. It appeared that about a year and a half ago the prose cutor took from the prisoner a lease for twenty-one years of the dwelling-house in question. The prisoner was in embarrassed circumstances, and the prosecutor several times advanced him money. On the evening when the circumstances occurred which resulted in the present indictment, the prisoner went to the house, and after haying some tea with the prosecutor, the subject of money matters was introduced. The file of receipts fol . moneys advanced by the prosecutor was produced, 011:A` wiih respect to one of these, which had been r eceived from the prisoner's attorney, who drew up the lens`; and who is since dead, a question arose. The p risonet said it was not in the same handwriting as the 1 4 11; and according:ly that instrument was produced• r.Teipt was compared with it, and the prisoner theof,'ssue tnited that the former w as a genuine instrument. Ima prosecutor laid down the lees e on the table, and turn d round to look at his day-book. The prisoner, it w"li „ appear, took this opportunity of snatching and running away with it. The prosecutor atterV t e b e to detlin Lim, but in vain. He was apprehenden.•to same night about ten o'clock, and on being taken I n t , ciistedv by the officer, he said to the prosecnOto' " Mi.cGlade, I have you now, and I give:you werniug leave at this time twelvemonth." Verdict—Guilty.
