Foley (on leave), left Malta on Wed nesday for amonth's cruise to Naples. The Meannee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehonse, left on the same day for the Piraeus of Athens, to replace the Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. G. Parker, which is daily expected here. Report says that this latter vessel will be sent to the West Indian station, but no official orders have yetbeen received on the subject. Col. Hardinge, Ist battalion 22d Regiment; Lieut. J. Jones, Bth Regiment ; Lieut. B. Moffat, Bth Regiment ; and Captain Arkwright proceeded in the Revenge to Naples. The Malta and Alexandria Telegraph has again broken down, as anticipated in my last letter. On Monday the Benghazi and Alexandria section stopped working, and commu nication has ceased ever since on that part of the line. The other sections, I believe, continue to work satisfactorily—indeed, have never failed to do since they were first laid. The telegraph steamer Fanny Lambert, which is kept here to be at hand in case of accident, was immediately got ready for sea, and left at daylight the following morning for Benghazi, with the requisite staff of scientific men and their assistants, for the purpose of repairing the cable. The Commander-in-Chief also caused the Cossack, 20, Capt. W. R. Rolland, which was already a good many miles on her way to the lonian Islands and Patras, to be recalled by signal from the Palace Tower, and despatched her to Benghazi, to assist in the operation. It is intended, lam informed to lay an entirely new cable on this section next summer. Her Majesty's ship Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, left on Monday for Naples. Capt. Fairfax, R.N., and Major Hamilton, V.C., went in her. The yacht schooner Derwent, having bn board Col. J. Talbot Clifton, Capt. R. White, and Dr. A. D. White, left port on Tuesday for Tunis. The Gleam, yacht schooner, with Mr. G. Marshall and Capt. Powell, arrived on the same day from Syracuse, and will leave in a day or two for Egypt. The schooner yacht Egidia (General Moore, proprietor) left on Thursday for Corfu. Col. Dickenson, wife, and son ; Lieut. Washington, R.N., the Rev. Mr. Edgar, Mrs. Pritchard, widow of Capt. Pritchard, R.N., who perished in the Orlando's boat at Tunis, and infant, left by the Ceylon for Marseilles. Col. A. R. Dunn, lately exchanged from the 100th Regiment to the 33d in India, and Capt. Brad ford left in the Massilia for Alexandria. Captain Breton, Lieut. F. B. Russell, Lieut. E. Lake, and Lieut. E. Gully arrived by the Delhi from South ampton. Capt. Westley, Lady Hamilton Chiches ter, and Mr. Baring, aide-de-camp to Sir Henry Storks, arrived this morning by the Nyanza, from Marseilles. The Austrian gunboat Wall, Com mander M. M. de Manfort, arrived on Friday from Algiers, bound for the Adriatic. Her Majesty's ship Gibraltar, 81, left Gibraltar on the morning of the sth inst., and arrived at Cadiz on the same evening, en route to England, to fetch her new cap tain. Vice-Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8., took his departure on Saturday on board the Psyche, Lieut. Commander R. Sterile, which had been placed at his disposal by the naval Commander-in-Chief. Never has the departure of any officer caused more sincere and general feelings of regret. The Challenger, 22, screw steam corvette, 1,462 tons, 400-horse power, Captain J. J. Kennedy, C. 8., arrived at Sheerness yesterday evening from the West Indies, on which stat ion she had been em ployed during the past three years and a half, hav ing been commissioned at Sheerness in May, 1851. The Challenger will be inspected on Saturday by Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Commander in-Chief at Sheerness, and will be shortly dismantled, paid out of commission, and placed in the Sheerness Steam Reserve. In accordance with instructions received at Sheer ness from the Lords of the Admiralty, her Majesty's new iron ship Valiant, 24 guns, 4,063 tons, 800 horse-power, will leave Sheerness on the 31st inst. for Portsmouth, where she will be taken into dock, and the bottom of the vessel cleaned, and the ne cessary alterations executed prior to her being placed in commission. The screw steam-frigate Aurora, 35, Capt. Sir F. Leopold M'Clintock, from Spithead, arrived at Ply mouth on Thursday. She conveyed supernumerary seamen for the guardship at Devonport, and would receive others for ships on the North American sta tion. The Aurora will probably leave the Sound to-day. The screw steam gun-vessel Dapper, 3, tender to the schoolship Britannia, at Dublin, arrived yester day at Devonport with condemned stores. On re ceiving perfect stores she will return to Dartmouth. The screw steam gunboat Hyena, 2, shipped her powder yesterday at Plymouth, and left for her des tination, Milford. The paddlewheel steam -sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander Arthur T. Thrupp, will not be able to leave Plymouth until Monday forrortsmouth and Lisbon. The screw steam-corvette Cadmus, 21, Captain Alexander Gordon, from Chatham, arrived yester day at Plymouth, en route for the West Indies. The Pioneer having been sold out of her Ma jesty's service was towed out of Plymouth harbour on Friday by the steam-tug Scotia. In accordance with orders received at Chatham the following depots of Indian regiments are to be transferred to that garrison from the stations named, most of the regiments arriving at the gar rison on the 2d of February —viz., the Depot companies of the 2d battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, numbering five officers and 140 non-commissioned officers and men from Walmer ; the Ist battalion of the 10th Regi ment, consisting of four officers and 140 men of all ranks ; the 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, con sisting of six officers and 160 non-commissioned officers and men ; and the 29th Regiment, number ing four officers and 158 men of all ranks, from the 11th Depot Battalion, at Preston ; the 40th Regi ment, numbering three officers and 127 men, and the 65th Regiment, consisting of two officers and 105 men from the 13th Depot Battalion, Birr ; the Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment, consisting of five officers and 120 men, and the 2d battalion of the 15th Regiment, numbering six officers and 80 m en, from the B th Depot Battalion, Pembroke •; and the Depot companies of the 80th Regiment, num bering three officers and 64 non-commissioned officers and men, from the 15th Depot Battalion, Buttevant ; total, 38 officers and 1,094 non-com missioned officers and men. The depots of the 37th and 85th Regiments of the Bth Depot Battalion have received orders to proceed from Pembroke dock on the 31st inst., to join their respective regiments at Dover and Aldershott. The depot of the 105th Regiment is to leave for Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, on the same day, in order to join the sth Depot Battalion, and thus three of the seven depots of the battalion will be disposed of. The remaining depots are expected to move early next month, and the staff will shortly afterwards leave for their respective commands and appoint- C R YSTAL PALACE.—The WIZARD o f the NORTH and Miss ANDERSON in their WORLD of.

If they authorised authorised it they will probably assume the responsi bilityif they did not, the act ors mu st answer individually for their alleged infraction of British neutrality. But we must enter au indignant protest against the language in which the Times has spoken of these men, and the view it has chosen to take of their case. Their act is compared to Muller's, and we are told that because the United States freely gave up a murderer and robber, who had assassinated an old gentleman in a railway carriage, therefore we ought to give up to the Federal Government men who have com mitted acts which it thinks proper to describe as arson and robbery on its territory. It is difficult to be patient when injustice like this is done to brave men in their hour of danger—when a leading organ chooses to assume the guilt of men who are not yet tried, and to accuse them of crimes of which their worst enemies virtually acquit them. Cer tain it is that the Treaty of Extradition was never meant to apply to such a case as this. It was intended to secure the punishment of the common enemies of mankind ; of thieves, assassins, and pirates ; of men who, to gratify their own evil passions, whether of grted, or lust, or hatred, make war on society, and take the life or property of their neighbour. It was not intended to assist one political faction against another, or to extend beyond the frontier the power and the vengeance of a vic torious party. It was not intended to interfere with the operations of foreign or of civil war. It was not even in tended as a means of securing the neutrality of the border region. It had exclusive reference to ordinary crimes— crimes as having to do with political contests. And for this reason political offences were expressly excluded from t a o ted ref h u i se s lan to a d l e o li rd v . er mr u e p r t e h f e us l e ri d s t h o p d e e ar ver t i w ip h a o f had ugit a iv - e • its operation. Americ an courts h ave carr i e d thi s so f ar as sla n v e who had killed his pursuer. It is necessary to enforce very strictly such limits on extradition treaties, if we would avoid the guilt of delivering into the hands of their enemies the victims of political disaster ; for it will generally hap pen that a political refugee is technically a felon. Every rebel who shoots a partisan of the ruling power is a mur derer. Every one who assists in seizing a Government convoy is a robber. It is only in such a sense that these St. Albans raiders are criminals. They were really en gaged in war. Even Mr. Sumner admits that they attacked the village, not because they desired simply to burn and pillage, but because they desired to burn and pillage the enemies of the South. That is, their offence sprang from political motives, and had a political purpose. They are therefore political fugitives, political offenders, and to liken their case to that of Muller is a perversion of truth and reason. To give them up would be to wrest the law made against felons, to destroy the right of asylum ac corded to political culprits. A case in point is well within even the short memory of newspaper readers. During the late Polish insurrection Prussia gave up several fugitive insurgents to Russia, and earned thereby the curses of the civilised world. Now the Polish insurgents as a body had committed robbery by levying " taxes" not on enemies only, but upon the whole people within their reach. They had committed murder, not by shooting enemies in the field, but by secretly stab bing obnoxious persons. Yet it was felt, and justly felt, that to give up Polish fugitives, on any pretence, was a breach of law and hospitality. Whatever their offences might have been, their motives were political ; their ends were not private gain nor private revenge, but the achieve ment of a political result; and therefore they were entitled to the immunity which all civilized Powers accord to poli tical fugitives. So with the St. Albans raiders. No one can deny that their position is strictly analogous to that of the Polish refugees. They committed not felony against individuals,but civil war against members of a hostile party, or public war against citizens of a hostile counlry ; and, how ever much we might condemn their motives Lnd actions, to give them up as criminals to the vengeance of their enemy would be a gross abuse of treaty obligations, and a shameful violation of that humane usage which bounds the vengeance of political parties by the frontiers of their country. In urging that they should be given up as " Muller was," the Times commits a double wrong ; it puts a totally and cruelly false construction on the charge agains the accused, and counsels the Government of Canade to violate in the most flagrant manner the universal custom of Christian nations.

As there has been no stirring news from the seat of war since the glaring discomfiture, partly by the elements, partlyby the besieged garrison, and partly by the blundering of the besiegers, of the great ex pedition against Wilmington, a sensation has been found for a sensation-loving people in'the republi cation of two remarkable articles which have just appeared in the Richmond Sentinel and the Rich mond Examiner, the one the organ and the other the opponent of the Southern Administration. It is asserted that the article in the Sentinel was in spired, if not written, by no less a personage than the Southern President ; and, if so, it may be held to mark the commencement of a new act in the great drama of the war. Arguing on the possibi lity of the conquest of the South by the North, the writer asserts that the Southern people would infinitely prefer to return to their former state of colonial dependence upon Great Britain or France than to come under the yoke of or enter into any political partnership with the " Yankees." This, however, is a mere rhetorical flourish to show how deep and impassable the gulf between South and North has become, the real purpose and aninuts of the writer being to prove to Europe in the most un mistakeable manner that the South is not fighting for the maintenance of slavery, as the North obsti nately pretends ; but for national independence, at any cost and risk—even at that of the abolition of negro slavery. It is urged in the article that in all probability the nations of Europe, more especially Great . Britain and France, would recognise the independence of the Confederacy if it abolished, or agreed to abolish, slavery, and the writer em phatically affirms that the South is ready to make the sacrifice. Whether the author be Mr. Jeffer son Davis, or some less eminent person prompted and inspired by him, it is apparent from a great variety of indications—from speeches in the Southern Congress, from action in the local Legis latures, from the tone of public opinion in the press, and from the reports of the persons who are con stantly making their way from the South through Federal lines to Northern cities—that the Southern people are ripe for the consummation, and willing to purchase the services of the able-bodied slaves to cope with the able-bodied black regiments of the North, at the price of liberty for themselves and their families, and the additional reward of farms of their own to cultivate at the expiration of the war. Whether Great Britain and France are ready to re cognise the South on these or any other terms re mains to be seen. There can, however, be no ques tion of a growing belief among the people of the North that this, after all, promises to be the solu tion of the difficulty and the first step towards peace; and that on thegith of March next, or shortly after wards, Mr. Lincoln will, in furtherance of this fore gone conclusion, be formally recognised as President of the several States represented in the electoral college, and of no other ; and that the successors to the vacant posts lately occupied by Lord Lyons and M. Mercier will be accredited to Washington with that limitation. The reply of the Richmond Exami ner to the article of the Sentinel, though bitterly hos tile to Mr. Davis, admits that the Confederacy is ready to abolish slavery. It also goes the length of confessing, as strongly as the Sentinel, its " infinite preference" of a state of colonial vassalage to Great Britain or France to union with the North ; but denies that the fortunes of the South are in so des perate a condition as to warrant the making of so humiliating an offer. It charges the recent reverses of the Confederate arms to the mismanagement of Mr. Davis—espechlly in the removal of General Joseph E. Johnston, which prepared the way for the march of Sherman to Savannah, and urges the Confederacy to make no propositions to Europe either now or hereafter, but to continue to rely on the native strength and resolution of its gallant and • indomitable people. Thus between the two articles there is no real difference on the great subject of negro slavery. The supporter and the opponent of Mr. Davis's Administration are agreed that inde pendence, and not the retention of slavery, is what the South is struggling for, and that at the proper time the slave who fights for the freedom of his m aster will be rewarded with his own. The more violent portion of the Northern press, representing centralisation in politics and abolitionism in ethics, and who desire to see the Union powerful rather than free, affect to believe, and loudly declare, that the Southern negroes will not fight on the terms proposed, but that if arms be put into their hands the will use them against their masters. The announcement that Mr. Fessenden, the pre sent Secretary of the Treasury, has been unanimously elected to the Senate by his native State of Maine for the term of six years, commencing from the 4th of March next, confirms the rumour which has been for some months current that it is not his intention to remain in the Ministry. His management of the national finances has not been satisfactory, and perhaps no man's could or will be until the restora tion of peace. He will retire from office amid general acquiescence, and a languid, rather than a fervent, hope that his successor may be as good, or, at all events, not much worse than himself. Other changes in the Cabinet, consequent upon Mr. Fessenden's resignation, are spoken of. The most important of these is the appointment of Mr. Adams, now American Minister at the Court of St. James's, to the position of Secretary of State, vice Mr. Seward. It is asserted by some of the friends and confidants of the latter that his views are too conservative to suit the purposes of the Radical party who have the ascendancy in the councils of the President ; that he has abjured the heresy of extermination and the forcible retention of the South against the will of its people ; that he is in favour of a compromise which may lead to peace between the sections, even if peace should not ultimately lead to the r e-establishment of the Unio n ; that he is powerless to give effect to his opinions, or, if not utterly so, is trammelled by the possession of office, and that he desires, like Mr. Fessenden, to exchange the portfolio of a Minister for a seat in the Senate, of which, prior to Mr. Lincoln's election, he was one of the most distinguished ornaments, and that measures have already been taken for his elec tion to that body in succession to ex-Governor Mor gan, of New York, if that gentleman, as is supposed,. can be induced to enter the Administration. If these various arrangements can be effected, no diplomatic appointments it is thought will immediately be made, either to Paris, the mission to which is vacant by the death of Mr. Dayton, or to London to be rendered vacant by the recall of Mr. Adams. Mr. Lincoln appears to have been advised that it is not by acci dent, but by design, that neither Great Britain nor France• has a representative at Washington of a higher grade than a chargl d'affaires, and to be con sequently of opinion that it would be well, in view of all the circumstances, that Federal diplomatists of similar rank should be left to represent the Union at the Courts of these two nations.

This statement, how ever, is not strictly accurate, inasmuch as these journals themselves contain proofs that the tax has been largely evaded, and that persons living, as their neighbours can testify, at the rate of $lO,OOO or $20,000 a year have, in many instances, returned their incomes at less than a tithe of those amounts. This result is by no means surprising to those who _ reme: ber the similar experience of the British Govern ment and people. There are, however, some circum stances connected with the management and levy of the tax in America which render it not only less productive to the revenue, but even more odious to those who have to pay it than the English property and income tax. In the first place, there is no class in America similar to that of our country gentry and unpaid magistracy from whose ranks may be drawn such highly qualified persons as those who act as commissioners of income-tax in England. Every official concerned has to be paid for his services, and the lowest of them, the collectors, are such great personages that they will not condescend to call personally at the residences of the taxpayers as the English collectors are bound to do, but insist on being waited upon at their own offices, on or be fore a day specified by public announcement in the a dvertising columns of the local newspapdr. If the amount be not tendered at the time a fine of 10 per cent. is added to the original demand, and if the two items be not forthwith paid, the collector can send in the Sheriff and seize the goods of the de faulter without further process. The highest salary paid to commissioners, assessors, and collectors is $4,000, and the lowest 1,500 per annum, while supernumeraries or extra hands called in for special duty of clerkship or otherwise, receive $4 per diem and travelling expenses. These paid agents — amounting, it has been roughly estimated, to from 15,000 to 30,000 —are all appointed by the Govern ment, through the medium of the Secretary of the Treasury ; and on the re-election of Mr. Lincoln were bound to cast their votes in his favour, under the well-understood penalty of losing their places if they voted for his opponent. Suppose the lower number to be an approximation near enough to be truth, and averaging the salaries and percentage at $2,000 each, it will follow that it costs the Federal Govern ment $30,000,000 per annum, exclusive of percent ages, to collect this and other taxes imposed by what is called the Internal Revenue Law of June, 1864. Another and more unpopular defect in the income tax law is the fact that the commissioners, assessors, and collectors are under no obli h gationenever of secrec appeal and that, on the contrary, w any against this assessment is made they are bound by the 19th section of the act " to submit the proceed ings of the assessors and the assistant-assessors and the annual lists, taken and returned, to inspection of.any and all persons who may apply for the pur pose." As yet the complaints of the aggrieved tax payers, either against the burden of the tax or the injurious publicity given to their private affairs, have taken no organised form, and scarcely find their way to the columns of the newspapers. To hint that the tax is oppressive is to court the accusation of disloyalty, and, as fully one-half the people are wholly exempt from the tax, and another large por tion but little affected by it, the voice of remon strance is faint and feeble, and excites no popular sympathy. The bulk of the working classes do not as a rule earn an annual income above $6OO, and practically the tax not only exempts this class, but the class immediately above it, for among the de ductions allowed to be made from the taxable amount of a person's income is the rent he pays for his house or place of business. Thus, if a man en joys a net income of $l,OOO per annum, and pays $250 for house rent, he is only liable to be taxed upon $l5O, which at 5 per cent. makes his annual contribution to the State no more than $74. Thus one great reason for the comparative unproductive ness of the tax, in addition to its costliness of collec tion, is to be found in the fact that it only touches a small minority of the people. This also accounts for the silence (the friends of the Government call it the cheerfulness) with which the tax is borne by the great mass who are not called upon to pay it. In other respects the Internal Revenue Law of 1864 is, as the Americans would say, " a caution" to financiers throughout the world, to show them what taxes not to impose and what fiscal errors to avoid. Disregarding the experience of Great Bri tain since the repeal of the Corn Laws, and the amendment and purification of the tariff of Cus toms' duties by the late Sir Robert Peel and his successors, the Federal Government has imposed such burdens upon trade and industry as have ren dered the American people liable to the charge of being the most patient in the world. No trade, pro fession, or business of any kind whatsoever can be carried on in Federal America without a licence, co sting from $lO to $lOO per annum. Physicians, lawyers, architects, b u ilders, photographers, confec tioners, haberdashers, fruiterers, milkmen, green grocers, bakers, tailors, shoemakers, milliners, tallowchandlers, poulterers, butchers, fishmongers, even clerks and shopmen, if they receive $l,OOO a year in wages, must take out a licence. Nor is the Act less oppressive upon commodities of all kinds and descriptions that men, women, and children can consume, or wear, or desire. Leather pays a first duty of 5 per cent. on the raw material. Boots, shoes, gloves, or any other article made of leather pay a second 5 per cent. as manufactures, and everybody concerned in the production of the article, from the butcher who slays the ox to the tanner who prepares the leather, and finally to the fabricator and vendor, must take out a license. The same process applies to every other article of neces sity or fashion. Even the caps and bonnets of the ladies are taxed, as well as their ribands and silks, their cottons and woollens, their linens and their velvets, their flowers and furbelows, but Congress in w as gallant enough to make a special exemption favour of their hoops and crinolines. Among other articles subject to taxation in America, but free in England, are coats, great coats, waistcoats, trousers, hats, gloves, photo graphic portraits, cartes de visite, pins, watches, jewellery, umbrellas, parasols, building stone, coals, candles, gas, oil, iron, copper, tin, and other metals, pianofortes, melodeons, or " other parlour musical instruments" (which may possibly mean vio lins, flutes, harmoniums, or musical boxes), and last, but certainly not least, all cattle and animals slaughtered for sale. The collection of the impost upon those various articles is highly vexatious to the manufacturers and makers. By the 82d and following section of the Act it is imperative upon every firm, corporation, partnership, or indi vidual engaged in the manufacturing, making, or working of the articles liable to duty to furnish to the assessor, upon each f or th where their and without previous dor e mand, a statement setting his manufactory of work is to be carried on, the m akers, ; name, description, and quality of the article erneain.u.- ceri ees factured or wrought, and the princigaltploafc evieirt; sale.

Englishmen know well what the result of such a fiscal system would be ; but in It does not often happen (says the North Wales Chro nicle) that cases of gross imposture occur in Wales, but an instance has just taken place in Aberdovey, of which Mr. Edward Jones, draper, and his mother were the victims. We will give the facts as stated before the Aberdovey ma gistrates, Messrs. C. F. T. Thruston and John Pughe. The prisoner, whose real name was not known, was charged with obtaining money under false pretences—namely, by repre senting himself to be John Jones, the son of Mr. Jones, the brother of Mr. Edward Jones, draper, and who had just returned from Australia after a prolonged absence. Edward Jones deposed—l am the son of the late Mr. Lewis Jones, who died some years ago. My mother is still alive. I first saw the prisoner on Wednesday evening, Dec. 23. A woman of the name of Margaret Russell came to my shop, and shaking hands with me said that she had a friend with her that I should like to see very much, adding, " Your brother John has come home." The excitement at this was very much, and I took her out of the shop to the kitchen to tell my [mother. The excitement was so much that I could not come to myself in a minute. She then requested me to go with her to Richard Davies's shop. I followed her there, and when I entered the shop, I suppose the pri soner knew me, as he came to me and said, " Is that you, Ted?" and then put his arms round my neck and kissed me. I said to him, "Is that you, John ?" and he replied " Yes." I asked him if he had any luggage to carry, and he said, " No, only a rug." I then walked with him home. We went to the kitchen, and mother got up, and he kissed her, and fell into a fit on the chair. I went for a glass of water, and he recovered a bit, and then I made him a glass of hot brandy and water. He asked mother to drink out of his glass, and he asked me to write to Mr. —, chief engineer of the Kangaroo, then lying at St. Katharine's Dock, Lon don, requesting him to remit him £2O by return of post. I did so, and have yet had no answer. We went out for R. walk, but he did not seem to have any recollection of the place. He stayed in my house until Fri day ; my mother questioned him about places, but he could make no reply, and he knew nothing about places without being first told them, and then would say, " Yes," " Very well," " How strange the place ap peared now," and such like. He told us that he came from Australia on board this vessel, and that she was con signed to Liverpool, that she had been to Queenstown, and had passed Holyhead on the Thursday, previous, and tele grap hi c message was received off there that she a must go to London, whe re she arrived on the Sund ay. And then he related that he had had some important business with the family of William Russell, and had in formed them of the death of their son at Ballarat ; and after wards he gave his version of his finding Margaret Russell out in London, and of his visit with the family a few miles below Aberystwith. Prisoner slept at my house on the Wednesday night, and on the Thursday morning came to prisoner n : t w wgyae o llul j :e ,jri into ohownnith i e".e c hk kit chen me to the shop, and said that as his trousers were so shabby he should like to have a new pair, and would be very glad to have them by Sunday. I got the tailor to measure him for a new pair. He had from me a necktie, a stick, a pipe, and a shirt. I never had known my brother. I was too young to remember him when he went away. He had the things upon the representation that he was my brother. He several times asked if I doubted whether ho was my brother. After being out for a walk on Friday, a ho l asked me for five shillings. In the evening of that went with him to the station to meet . asked round mh her r i if h e : k w ; was my i ter and y she msoynesrsput his arms The prisoner made no reply.

He took a draught of water, and said he was better. I asked him to show me the marks upon hi m ; my mother having told me of the marks, and of a birth-mark or mole on my brother John's side. I made him show his two arms to show the two J's referred to by Captain Pryce. He was rallier obstinate at irst. There were none of the marks upon him. I then told him to get up and dress himself, that there was no place for him there. I was convinced that he was not my brother. He gave me his purse, and told me to take 255. out of it, which was the amount he had from me, which in cluded the £1 my mother gave him. Sergeant Roberts was down stairs, and when he saw him prisoner said, " I am in for it now." Mrs. Mary Lloyd, last witness's mother, de posed that the prisoner had had £1 from her on Thursday. She had remarked to him that if he was her son he was greatly altered ; to which the prisoner replied that the world had greatly altered him.. He had seen a deal of trouble. She had doubted him being her son during the Friday, in consequence of his answers to her questions. Her son John had been absent", l l9 years, and she was con vinced that prisoner was not her son.
