There w ie also presented to the Museum six skins o; rare monkeys from Fernando, by G. Knapp, Esq., ani 57 specimens of birds, and three quadrupeds from Australia, from G. Knapp, Esq. SECONDARIES' COURT. (THIS DAY.) Can!. CON.— MITFORD V. MOLYNEUX. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover damages from the defendant, for having had criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. Sir W. Follett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Chamber for the defence. Sir War. FOLLETT stated the case to the Jury. He said they knew perfectly well that a person who had sustained an injury such as that of the plaintiff—an in jury so serious—the only course he could pursue was to bring an action for pecuniary damages, without which he could not obtain a divorce, nor be guarded against a spurious offspring succeeding to his estates and property. In the present case there were no matters for them to decide, except the mere amount of pecuniary damages, as the case had gone in favour of • the plaintiff by default, inasmuch as the defendant had placed no plea on the record, nor did he deny the fact of adultery. He would shortly state the case for the plain tiff, who was a gentleman of ample fortune, residing in Hampshire, and was the cousin of Lord Redesdale. Lady Georgians Mitford, his wife, was the daughter of Lord and Lady Ashburnham. The parties were married in the year 1828, and at that time the conduct of the parties led their friends to believe that the union would be a most happy one. For several years they did live in bill-Thiess, and several children were the fruit of that union, some of whom Lad died, but there were three sons still remaining. They continued to lire in happiness till the year 1838, and in that year it was deemed necessary by the family of Mr. Mitford that he and Lady Georgians should reside on the Continent. He (Sir W. Follett) need not mention the cir cumstances which required this step. Mr. Mittlird and Lady Georgians removed to the Continent, and lived for a considerable time at Frankfort, Mr. Mitford having previously taken a house, whilst they were re siding at Frankfurt. Whilst they were residing at Frank fort, the defendant, the Hon. Mr. Molyneux, the son of the late Earl of Sefton, and brother of the present Lord, filled the office of Secretary to the Legation at Frankfurt. Lady Georgiana had been acquainted with Mr. Moly neux in England, and that acquaintance bad been re newed in Frankfort. Mr. Molvneux frequently visited the house of the plaintiff; and was frequently at their parties. On these occasions he showed great atten tion to Lady Georgians, and the greatest friendship existed between the parties. The happiness of the plaintiff and his lady continued undisturbed till the autumn of the year 1840. In the autumn of that year Mr. Mitford discovered a difference in the manners of his wife, and was at a loss to account fur the change. Mr. Mitford had occasion to visit Dresden shortly afterwards, and on his return he found that his domestic hap • piness was entirely destroyed, discovering that the object of his previous care, solicitude, and affection, had flown from the roof of her natural protector, and was living in adultery with the defendant. Lady Georgiana was up to the present moment living with the defendant as man and wife. He (Sir W. Follett) was afraid he had not evidence to show the circumstances of Mr. Molyneux. He only knew him to be the son of a noble and wealthy family, but whether he was possessed of estates or other property, he was not aware. He moved in a high station of life, and had filled the office of Secretary to the Legation at Frankfort, the emoluments of which were very considerable. But lie had been obliged to resign the office owing to the unfortunate occurrence, he (Sir W. Follett) was then detailing to them. Had the plaintiff been de prived by death of his wife lie would still have had the melancholy satisfaction, but gratifying thought, that the remembrance would be associated with virtue. But now his position was pure, unmixed misery. He would then proceed to call witnesses in support of the case, and leave in the hands of the Jury to assess the amount of damages. Mrs. Farrall, the first witness called, deposed that she was the mother of the plaintiff, and was present at the marriage of her son to the Lady Georgiana Ash burnham, which took place in the year 1523, with the consent of both families. Her son was 24 . years of ....,..... a age at the time of the marriage. Lady Georgian was about a year younger. After the marriage Lady Georgiana lived cn the most affectionate terms with her husband. She (the witness) never saw anything but the most perfect harmony existing between them from the time of their marriage up to their removal to Frankfort, in the year 1838. Several sons, the fruit of their marriage, were living. Lydia Royce being sworn, deposed that she had been in the capacity of lady's maid to Lady Georgians Mitford. She accompanied the family when they went to Frankfort in 1838. On all occasions Lady Georgiana was most attentive and affectionate to her husband. During their residence in Frankfort Mr. Molyneux was in th habit of visiting them. In the Autumn of 1838 Mr. Mitford had occasion to go to Dresden, and on the evening of his departure Lady Georgiana told the witness that her brother had arrived that day at Frankfort, and that she was going to see him. telling her to pack up a small portmanteau, which she did, and Lady Georgiana left the house with Mr. Moly neux in a carriage and four, and never returned. Cross-examined—On one occasion previous to this oc currence, Mr. Mitford was absent for some time in Eng land ; on another occasion he was absent for a fortnight at Brussels. Mr. Molyneux resided at - Wiesbaden, which is about twenty-four miles from Frankfort. Lord Redesdale and Col. Thomas Ashburnham seve rally deposed to the affectionate bearing shown by Lady Georgiana towards her husband, after their marriage. This being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury for the defendant. He contended that the most blameable person in the transaction was the plaintiff, who was indiscreet enough to leave his,wife, a beautiful woman, on the Continent alone for weeks together amidst all the temp tation that must necessarily surround her in the world of fashion on the Continent. He called upon the Jury not to give heavy damages as to persons in a sta tion of life whose every comfort was destroyed in the loss of his wife, and the estrangement of her affections. The plaintiff was a man of wealth, and allied by blood to a noble family. He had the means of purchasing pleasure, and of possessing all the enjoyments of life. On the Continent the manners of the inhabitants were light and frivolous, much more so than the in habitants of this country, and long might it be ere the English people became otherwise. Lady Georgiana was placed amidst temptations, and amongst a people where the foibles of the softer sex were looked upon as trifles. She was neglected by her husband, and what more probable course, under such circumstances, and in such a land, than the one she had unhap pily taken ? There was a mode of proceeding with these delicate flowers—if he might use the expres sion—a mode in which to bring them back to health when they were placed in an atmosphere which would make them droop and probably die. In foreign society nothing was so dangerous as a wealthy man leaving his wife alone amidst the world of fashion for so long a period as three weeks. l'ity it was that Mr. Mitford had not had some kind friend who knew something of the world to advise him to remove Lady Georgiana from this scene of temptation. He might have removed her when he found her manners alter. It was unfair to Lady Georgiana—it was unfair to Mr. Mo lyneux, not to have done so; because, leaving her open to temptation at the time when he knew Mr. Molyneux was within reach, and knowing that Mr. Molyneux;had paid at tention to Lady Georgians, it almost amounted to an invitation to Mr. Molyneux to come there to console her for the absence of her husband. He did so, and in a hasty moment, perhaps, without consideration, Lady Georgians had taken that step which led to the present proceedings. It appeared so from the circumstances, because it was quite clear that the visit of Mr. Moly neux was not preconcerted ; and everything was done in haste, Lady Georgiana taking but one small portmanteau with her. It was a case of sudden tempta tion—it was a sudden impulse of the moment—there was no intention shown of an elopement having been contem plated by Lady Georgiana ; but in an unguarded mo ment she had taken that step she never could retrace. There was no undermining the affections of the wife on the part of the defendant—it was a sudden impulse of the moment, which every one must blame and condemn. Therefore it was not the heinous crime as might have ex isted in other cases where the lover might have flown from the victim of his passion. They had had evidence addle to show the kindness and affection that existed L - - , cd the plaintiff and his wife in England, but s' eet'areell . no eviderce as to their domestic fecili' -.ley had had history of this family on the Coo" ~ j , abroad. If the into it would be found to cor - -silent were to beone one-half the families fro,- i espond t with the history of I , l vh ire a ;on a the den C ie o s tin i T r n e t : On the Continent ° eel - c i ne th w s n ml et side was. Th ey did not understand it, and when people thistire went abro-, t they lutist do as the rest. The manners of e enntry drop, and they found themselves different :.ersons—all was gaiety and temptation. Mr. Mitford and Lady Georgiana were like all foreign visitors ; they had no domestic comforts, their chief pleasures were visiting routs and balls in uninterrupted succession. With re spect to damages, let them cons id er th e s t a te of the parties ; the paintiff was a man to whom be no • a large money could object, the defendantwas the . youngest sou et family ; and they knew that the of the richest noblem coil sequence of thisunhappy . youngest son an was not a rich man. In transaction the'defendant had been compelled to resign h . • situation at Frankfort, and he had - gn the small of a nobleman. He left it • they were to consider that damages at their hands, he sN Mr. Secondary POTTER in so low a tone that he was quite me occupied by the gentlemen of the is as Minister nothing to subsist upon except out to the younger son in the hands of the Jury, but while the plaintiff was asked summed a s d vealthy man. up the evidence, but inaudible rs at the place The Jury retired for about twenty . m* re turned with a verdict for the plaintiff- D i a n m utes, and We cannot refrain from adverting to thaegceosel(looo/. the officers connected with this Court with respect uet of to the gentlemen of the press. Every obstacle that could be thrown in the way of the performance of their duties was resorted to, intomuch that from the Learned Under-Sheriff speaking in a low tone of voice we were quite unable to catch a word. INSOLVENT COURT.-THJS DAY. IS RE WM. NLNK, The insolvent had been a coach proprietor on the Brighton line of road, and attributed his insolvency to the establishment of the Brighton Railway. In March, 1840, he had passed through the Court, and since that time, up to his present insolvency, had done very little bu siness. The Learned Commissioner ordered him to be discharged. - - IN RE FRED. WALSH. Mr. WooDnurrE applied to have Mr. Davis, a solici tor, residing in the Albany, appointed assignee. The Learned Gentleman stated the insolvent had been a bill broker and money-lender, and, as was usual in the case Of such insolvencies, many of the ticbts Mr. Davis was a creditor to the estate himself in up wards of 1,0001., and, being an attorney, was likely to be successful with the "gentlemen" debtors for whOlu the insolvent discounted bills.—Granted. The • following is the petition for Radical Reform, &c. from t.lt e Cobbett Club, v:hich was presented on Thurs day to the House of Commons by Mr. T. Duncombe, who d A everything that the very stringent rules of the House would allow to brine the matter contained in it plainly e.nd clearly before the Members. At any rate its ciru' t .tion threugh the Press will place some very import tilt facts before the country, and will, in that quarter .;-at least, have a very beneficial effect : To the Honourable the Commons of the United King de J n of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament as. a :cabled. The p etition of the Cobbett Club of London, unani iously agreed to, at a meeting of that body, on ae Ist day of September, 1841. Humbly showeth, 1. Tk at your petitioners, in their great anxiety to see a restore tion of the freedom, the greatness, and the power of this a ountry, so that it may again take its proper station amongst the nations of the earth ; and, knowing that thi s can be effected only by the people having re stored to them the power of exercising their ancient constitutional rights, hate frequently petitioned former Parham eats to grant Universal Suffrage, Annual Par liament: :, and Voting by Ballos. And they are daily receivin g fresh evidence of the necessity for these things, the grit, .ting of which would have rendered it wholly unnecos sary far them now to trespass upon your atten tior, as d occupy the public time ; a great deal of which has bees i (as it appears to your petitioners) hitherto spent, n of in matters calculated to benefit the people, but in p arty squabbles, having for their object the turn ing out of one st t of men, whom the Queen bad se lected :.,o be her servants in the Executive, and the putting; another set of men in their place ; act because the Q , -1 een had no confidence in those her servants ; but, ben 2ause your Honourable House, forsooth, a se parate branch of the Legislature, had not confidence in the at ! Thus leaving it almost doubtful, whether the I.V, misters are the servants of the Crown, or whe ther :ley are the servants of the House of Commons! 2. Teat, your petitioners have always understood, that thee Three Estates cf this Realm have separate and distioce duties and privileges, which the Constitution has ph defined for them ; and, that, beyond the liin'ts 'thus defined, neither the one nor the other has the 1701 , 71 r of passing ; and this not merely to secure the la amt, inious working of the whole, but to ensure to the people the benefit of the sepraatc and independent working of each estate. S. Tatat, amongst those duties and privileges, your ;petitioners believe that the Crown, that is to say, the Highest Estate, has the prero gative c f selecting its own servants, cr ministers, who are to be those whom the Crewn wills to be of its Privy ( ;ouncil ; who are, therefore, " a noble, honour able, a ad reverend ass( mbly," whose duty it is to advist the Crown to the best of their cunning and discretio n." The prerogative of the Crown, in choosing this bead:, of men, cannot be interfered with by either House, of Parliament," or it must cease to be a prero gative. All writers upon the Constitution, declare, that, ".Parliament ought not to deal, to judge, or to meddle with, any prerogative of the Crown ;" that they can "in creaee the prerogative of the Executive, but they cat :not invest themselves with it : they have it not in their power to command its motions : they can only unbind its hands :" that Privy Councillors arc made by the Sovereign's nomination only, and that the will of the Sovereign is their sole constituent : that " the dissolution of the Privy Council depends upon the plea sure of the Sovereign, and that he may, whenever he thinks p roper, discharge any particular member, or the whole of them, and appoint others ; and that the Con stitution has provided a remedy at law, either by im peachmeant or by criminal information, for their delin queecies : that " neither House of Parliament has a right to animadvert upon the Sovereign, nor have any jurisdiction over him in civil matters, as that would be to destroy one of the constituent parts of the Sovereign power ;" that is to say, would be a lopping off of one third part of the Constitution at a blow, sinking the in ' dependence of the Crown, and making it a mere tool in the hands of the other two parties, who may strip it of all remaining power, and leave it as an useless and de spicable bauble. 4. That your petitioners, believing that these opinions are in unison with our ancient Constitution, cannot avoid stating them to your Honourable House ; and they beg also to be permitted to make another statement, which they take from the " Act of Limitation of the Crown ;" it is this, " that no person who holds any office, or place of profit, under the King, or who is receiving a pension from the Crown, shall be capable of serving as a Member of the House of Commons;" and which, although your petitioners are not ignorant of the adroitness with which it is evaded, is a most wise, just, and wholesome law, which they hope soon to see rigidly reinforced. 5. That the consideration of these things has brought to your petitioners' recollection, a long list of most grievous innovations upon the Constitution of our fore fathers ; each of which has been an abridgement of the liberties of the great body of the people of these realms, and the effect of the whole, united, has been to leave the main part of the people with scarcely more political rights than are possessed by the people of Algiers, of Egypt, or cf Turkey. 6. That the first and greatest of these innovations, may it please your Honourable House, is the one from whence all the others have flowed ; namely, the with holding from the mass of the people their ancient right of suffrage. This your petitioners believe to be the great master-evil that has produced consequences most fatal to the well-being of the people, of which every man must be convinced, when be reflects that from this source alone has been produced— The dividing the Church and Abbey lands amongst the aristocracy, and compelling the people to maintain the poor, instead of their being main tained cut of the tithes and revenues of the Church ; The throwing the Church-rates upon the people, in stead of causing the Churches to be repaired and maintained out of the fruits of the livings ; The appropriating the property of the Guilds and Fraternities, and Charitable Bequests, amongst the aristocracy and their dependents ; The uniting of parishes, and amalgamating the pro duce of the livings, and giving them to one man, instead of permitting each parish to have its sepa rate priest.; The giving a plurality of votes, at a vestry, to rich men, and thus destroying the weigkt of the vote of the poor man ; Tie inventing and introducing the cunning and in quietorial excise system, in order that the taxes should be taken from the people in a manner that they cannot resist, any more than they can resist the robber who has his hands in their pockets, after having first blindfolded and bound them ; The establishing, first triennial, and then septennial Parliaments ; which, down to the period of any thing-but " glorious Revolution of 1688" had been annual ; The taking from the Crown its landed estates, and dividing them amongst the aristocracy, and making the Sovereign a sort of pensioner, to be maintained out of the taxes raised upon the people. The leaving, in innumerable cases, the convicting and punishing of persons at the discretion of me; are appointed by, and removable a t, wh o of the Minister of the day. , sne pleasure The trying, and imprisoe' jury, for simple' and profs he- ...ng of men without trial by , amass, in treading on corn-fields ; ...ging rich men from such law, when, with .. ses and dogs, they:sport upon these same cord , ficldr. The compelling men to IcaVe their aged parents, their wives and their children, and to come forth in de fence of the country ; to submit to military dis cipline, and punishment for disobedience of orders, and to risk their lives in its service, whilst they are refused the rigbt of voting at elections, on the ground that they have no stake in the country ; The delegating to three men, who are called " Poor law Commissioners," the power of making lavcs to bind the people of this country ! a circumstance, the existence of which is almost. sufficient to make the dry bones of our brave and free forefathers to rattle in their graves, from shame and indignation at the tameness and blueness of their degenerate sons. 7. These constitute a mass of grievous innovations on the liberty of the people, may it please your Hon. House, the smallest of which would never have existed if the people had net been robbed of the power of re turning Members to their own House of Parliament ; which power they had exercised for so many ages; h and the continuance of the possession of which would prevented the hands of power from grasping many other things unjustly, amongst which are the Army, the Navy, the Colonies, the Diplomatic Affairs, the Col. leges, yea, everything, to which are attached great heaps of money, is enclosed in this unrelenting grasp ; and this same power, now, by means of the " New Poor-law" (which was p asse d " to bring the people of England, by degrees, to live upon a comer sort of food"), hopes to grasp some twenty, or thirty, millions more, a-year, cut of the wages of the labouring part of the people—from that part of the people, who are, at this time, in such a stare of poverty, that the agonizing cries for bread, of miliioas of them, are piercing our ears and harrowing our hearts, and exciting in our minds grief and shame, and a burning and inexpressible rage, when we reflect on the causes of such suftirings ; and, more espe cially, %hen we find that, although these sufferings were long ago foretold, nothing was done to prevent them ; ant=, now that they present i themselv es i n such fearful array before us, we are sickened to the soul at the almost total absence of any lefforts to remedy them, or of any sympathy for the sufferers, being evinced by those who have the power to relieve them. 8. Your Petitioners therefore pray that your Ho nourable House, without any more waste of the public time in unprofitable discussion about " want of confi eence" in her Majesty's servants, will cause that law to b. pit in lore,: which tNili Icrnove her Majesty''.; str %ants from the occupying of seats, and voting in your Honourable House ; and, also, that you will set about removing tboee grievances which they have, in this thsir retion, feebly set forth ; and that, they think, c.:l be effectually done, only by your Honourabl ficuze taking into your honest consideration the thou sands of petitions far a Radical Reform of your Ho nburcble House, which hr.ve beer: signed by millions of the unrepresented people of this nation. And your pet;tioners will ever pray. (Signed by order of the meeting), JAMES WILKINSON, Chairman. GEORGE ROGERS, Treasurer. B. TILLY, Hon. Sec. HALF YEARLY MEETING OF THE CHESTER AND BIRKEI<HEAD RAIL WAY DIRECTORS. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, OCT. 7. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Proprietors in the Chester ant Birkenhead Railway was held at the Clarendon-rooms in this town, at 12 o'clock to-day, for the purpose of receiving a report and statement of the general accounts from the opening of the line, and transacting other important business. The chair was occupied by HENRY DIXON, Esq., the President of the:Board of Directors. The meeting lasted for upwards of an hour and three quarters. and, when contrasted with same of the former meetings of this Company, was remarkable for the unanimity of business like manner in which its proceedings were conducted. The report, which extended to considerable length, was read by Mr. Mallaby, the Company's solicitor. The accounts which commenced on the day the railway was opened, the 21st of Oct. 1840, and were brought down to the 30th of June, 1841, showed a surplus of upwards of 5,00 e/. The average rate of fare upon the line was 14el. per pasSenger per mile—less by a halfpenny, and in some instances a penny, than that charged upon other lines in this country. The extreme lowness of the fares, and the expenditure incurred in conveying passengers across the river Mersey to and from Liverpool, were considered as the chief causes of the com parative smallness of the profits ; and the Direc tors desired to call the attention of the Proprietors to the latter subject, in the hope of their heing able to abolish such an incubus. They also conceived it would be desirable to have a tunnel formed at the Birkenhead station, to communicate with the water-side, and thus do away with the expenses of omnibuses for the convey ance of passengers thither. They thought it right not to make any dividend on the surplus at present for reasons of a cogent nature, which would InOrQ particularly appear from the statement of the ac counts, but to pay A dividend at the next half-yearly meeting ; and this they hoped would be the last sacrifice which the Proprietors would have to make, on account of the undertaking. The Directors had taken into consideration the propriety of dispensing with the services of their paid Treasurer, but they had not, as yet, come to any resolution, on the subject ; they had, moreover, turned their atten tion to the details of the several departments of the ex penditure, with a view to their diminution. It was with feelings of gratitude that the Directors informed the Proprietors, that although the passenger traffic had in creased upon the line, no accident had occurred to any one, nor had there been any injury experience 6 by the carriages, although the rate of travelling was equal to that on any other line in the kingdom. Mr. J. MonYNEaux moved the adoption of the Report. Mr. E. GERARD seconded it, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. JACK now, of Birkenhead, then made a proposi tion to the Company to pay the sums of 24,3501. for t'Le ferry between Liverpool and Woodside, and 5,700/. for a new steamboat they had purchased, and to grant the right in perpetuity to the Company to convey railway passen gers from Mankstown-ferry to Liverpool. The proposition, which appeared fair and reasonable, caused considerahle discussion, and the Proprietors em powered the Directors to enter into a negotiation, with a view to its being effected. The meeting then separated. THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) At the Court at Windsor, the 6.h day cf October, 1841, present the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

ARRI VA FA OF THE GREAT WESTERN. (EXPRESS FROM BRISTOL.) BRISTOL, FRIDAY. DEATH OF LORD SYDENHAN. Montreal Papers received at New York on the 24th ult. announce the death of Lord Syden ham, Governor-General of the British North American Provinces. He had not recovered from the severe accident which he met with by the fall from his horse lock-jaw was brought on in con sequence, and he died at his residence in King ston on the 19th of September. The sudden and lamentable event had caused universal sorrow in the provinces. The Court for the trial of Mr. M'Leod was to open at Utica en the 27th September, and the trial to commence on the Ist October. The general belief was that he would be acquitted. _ - The Prince de Joinville arrived at New York cn the 19th September, and was gladly welcomed by his countrymen as well as the Americans. A New York Paper gives the following account : The arrival of the Prince de Joinville, very pro perly induced a meeting of his countrymen at Del monico's on Tuesday evening, agreeably to a call which appeared in this paper. &solutions, we un derstand, were passed, expressive of a desire on the part of the meeting to pay their respects personally to the Prince, and to ask his presence at a banquet they proposed to offer him. These wishes, were of course communicated to him, through the Consul of France, who yesterday transmitted the reply, announcing that the Prince would receive a deputation from the meeting, and all his countrymen, on board La Belle Poulc, and that a steamer would be ready to convey them thither, from pier No. 1, at one o'clock to-day. The other news from that quarter are not of much importance. The United States Bank Shares, or rather the shadows of Shares, had fal len still lower. On the 25th they were down to 5 The only extracts of importance are sub joined. The Great Western left New York on th e 25th, and reached Bristol this morning at seven, having made the passage in twelve days and twelve hours. She hEd rather a rough passage. She brings 41 passengers,. and New York papers to the 25th, ten days later than the last arrival. (From the New York _Journal of Commerce.) " TRIAL OF ALEXANDER WLEOD.— ne Circu it Court and Court of Oyer and Terminer, which is to try Alex ander M`Leod on an indictment for murder, alleged to have been committed at Schlosser, in this State, on the night of the 29th of December, 1837, commences its ses sion at Utica next Monday (Sept. 22). From a list of 48 jurors, 12 will be drawn for the trial of M'Leod. M`lienzie, in his Volunteer, says, "I never heard of one of them till now." He, however, expresses the opinion that M`Leod will be convicted. According to the laws of New York (says the Vclun teer), M'Leod, if convicted, cannot by the help of his British and Websterian friends, carry the matter into the federal courts at Washington, for if he was at Schlosser he came voluntarily into a sovereign State, committed murder, was not kidnapped, but voluntarily returned and was arrested, and is therefore in the same situation as if he being a native citizen were indicted in the State. We are not among those, if any there are, who ex pect that this dispute will result in war,—yet there is no advantage in blinking the dangers which do in fact exist. There are dangers, and they are serious ones. There is danger from this very case of M'Leod. There is danger from the Boundary Question. There is danger from the general irritation of the public mind, both in this country and England. Neither na tion is in a mood to bear so much from the other as they were five years ago. Both are proud, self-confident, and self-willed. An unfortunate turn of events may precipitate a war, contrary to the wishes and original intentions of the parties. There are many on both sides of the Canada line, who will do their best to complicate affairs, and render a pacific adjustment impossible. If M'Leod should be either acquitted, or, on being con victed, be immediately pardoned, we have no doubt the affair will pass off in the form of diplomacy ; but if he should be executed, of which we believe there is no pro bability, than look out for breakers. THE APLEOII TRIAL. This important trial will take place next week, and in consequence of the illness of the Chief Justice, Nelson, Judge Gridley will preside. We also learn that there exists no doubt among those who have examined all the testimony, that he will be acquitted. Thus will end all difficulties in relation to M'Leod's apprehension and in dictment. (From the Journalof Commerce.) MR. FOX AND THE 111‘LEOD AFFAIR. There is nothing in the into news from England that contradicts the intelligence received from Halifax, viz , that despatches were preparing for Mr. Fox of a nature to bring the affair of McLeod to a crisis. On the contrary, all that has publicly transpired goes to confirm the supposition that the British Government intends to hold the Government of the United States to the principles of national law as avowed by Mr. Webster, as all knowledge of the individual State of New York is disclaimed in the transaction. It is purely a national affair, and we have yet to learn whether Mr. Fox has received instructions to remain at his post, awaiting the deeislott of a Circuit Court of this State, which, whatever may be its results in this in dividual case, leaves the main principle undisposcd of, viz., the right of any power to make individuals person ally responsible for public acts of duty, performed under the orders of the national authorities of their country. If the British nation submits this case to the jurisdic tion of New York, she must be prepared to permit the same course to be applied to Sir Allen M'Nab, Cap tain Drew; end the forty-five individuals who formed his force In the attack upon the " Caro line," any of whom, coming within American juris diction; may, be sensedand tried, a contingency Mitt May nappen any day; and thus we should have the new dilemma, of Great Britain protesting against the execution of the sentence of a court whose juris diction she had tacitly admitted in the case of M‘Leod ; an inconsistency, to await the consequences of which, Mr; WkliPatt routing at his post. These are probably " the delicate negoclatiOns H which have been going on lately at Washington, and are most likely still pending. Sir Robert Peel, the present Prime Minister of Eng land, in his speech in Parliament on the 27th August, significantly intimated that there were matters under dilidliSSibli ; Of it hatitft ett#ei to be promulgated, and that Lord Palmerston's caut i ons fepliee to Mr. Roebuck " were anything but full or satisfactory." That England desires the maintenance of peace, is tin queBti,rieble ; we have yet to learn whether she will pur chase it at the taCrifice of a principle, which for ever afterwards leaves the brave defenders liable to be ar raigned as felons before any foreign tribunal, for doing their ditty in obedience to the orders of their superiors. Upon this pivot turns the whole affair. Men who re flect can judge of the probabilities of Mr. Fox counte nancing or protesting against a course which places his country in the above dilemma. The British nation is arraigned, in the person of McLeod ; can she go through the ordeal of a criminal trial, and if convicted, sue for, or receive mercy at the hands of the Governor of an individual State ? Those who truly desire the preservation of peace, will not press upon her such an indignity as the trial of Mr. McLeod would in anyevent entail. If England admits the principle involved in the de tention and trial of Mr. M‘Leod, the Pacha of Egypt, or a Governor of one of his provinces, may here after seine every officer of the British fitet which attaCiftd Atte, and try and hang them as " murderers." The Turki:h Sultan, or any of his Pachas, may pursue the same measures to redress the " outrage " upon his fleet at Navarino. Neither of these hostile acts had the sanction of a formal declaration of war, and they were therefore just as " illegal" as the attack upon the Caroline, _ _ _________ OFPICIAL , APPOINTMtgriS BY PRtgrDENT, Algernon Rydney Robertson, Marshal fur the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Of course those on board were drowned. 'The yoke of one person was heard as the sail boat was passed over, Mr, Henry Walters, while having some altereatit,n with titmhet person in Juniatta county, Pennsylvania, on the 7th instant, was stabbed in fourteen places by a notorious miscreant'named Bill Ruggles, who came up while the two first-named persons were quarrelling. Mr. Walters died of his wounds some days after, and Ruggles in the meantime escaped, Robert Dawson, of Fouquer county, Va., was found dead in that county on the 12th inst., his head having been crushed and his brains beaten out, while in the act of drinking at a spring. The murder is believed to have been committed by a female slave that he was carrying to prison. BRANDY EXPLOSION.—WC learn from the Nashville Union, that a serious accident occurred at the residence of Spencer Buford, Esq., in Williamson county : Some negroes were sent into the cellar to stop a leak in a bar rel of brandy, and in searching for it the flame of the candle came in contact with the spirit, and occasioned an explosion, which killed five of the negroes ; three died in a few hours, and the other two lingered about a day. The fire communicated to the house, but was soon ex tinguished by smothering it with come green tobacco leaves on the premises. The Abolitionists of Connecticut recently assembled in s olemn convention, and nominated Francis Collett, of Bloomfield, and Levi Yale, ju., of Meriden, as their can didates for Governor and Lieut. Governor of that State. The same Convention passed a resolution that they would " respectfully take leave" to ask Mr. John Tyler, President of the United States, to emancipate his slaves. We are not precisely in Mr. Tyler's secrets, but it is a settled opinion with us that he will not consider these gentry as having any constitutional right per se, to make such a request. It appears by the following paragraph from the Louis ville Journal, that the so-much-talked-of duel at the West, resulted in the death of one of the parties, who was shot in the back—a very appropriate " taking off ) " for a Judge who descends from the bench to settle a legal question with rifles and bowie knives. But, what can be' said of the man who takes deliberate aim at an anta gonist with his back turned to him ? FATAL DUEL.—We mentioned, in our paper of Tues day, that a duel was to have taken place, on the 6th in stant, opposite Princeton, Mississippi, between Judge Tenny and Mr. Rowley, both of Louisiana ; weapons, rifles—distance, thirty steps. It took place according to arrangement, and Judge Tenny was killed at the first fire. The parties, we understand, stood back to back, and the Judge, through mistake, wheeled too quick. Discovering his error, lie was in the act of resuming his position when the word was given, and he received his adversary's death-shot in the back. MURDER AT HEMPSTEAD HARBOUR.—The Brooklyn News says that on Thursday last the body of Jesse Ryerson, a boat builder, was picked up in Hempstead Harbour, with two stabs in the neck, appareatly made with a large knife. There were also severe bruises on various parts of the body. The murderer has nut been ascertained, and the whole matter is considered very mysterious. (Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.) PuTLADELPHIA, SEPT. 23.—A CANTON VESSEL WP.ECKED.—lnformation reached this city between 12 and 1 o'clock to-day of the entire loss of the barque Florida, Captain Faucon, from Canton, for New York, with a full and valuable cargo of silk and teas. The barque sailed from Canton, on the 19th May, went ashore on the Brigantine Shoals, near Absecoin Beach, on yes terday about 10 o'clock, and it is thought that the vessel and cargo will be entirely lost. The ship Stephen Baldwin, from Liverpool, with a full cargo of assorted goods, is now coming up. She sailed from Liverpool on the 16th of last month. Sales at the Brokers' Board were to a limited amount only, with but little change in prices -2,500 dollars Pennsylvania s's, 1846, sold at 88 a 871 ' • 138 dollars ditto, 1864, at 781- ; 4 shares United States Bank at 6* ; Girard 234 a 24i ; Camden and Amboy R.

SnirwnEcK.—Yesterday afternoon intelligence was received of the stranding at Barnegat of the bark Flo rida, belonging to New Bedford, coming . from Canton. The news was communicated in the following letter : LOSS OF THE BRIG FLORIDA. Short Beach, Little Egg Harbour, Sept. 22, 1841. To Mr. James Bergen. Dear hasten to inform you that the bark Florida, of New Bedford, from Canton, bound to New York—cargo tea, silks, rhubarb, and cassia—struck on Brigantine Shoals yesterday, and is now a wreck. The captain, crew, &c., were taken off by the schooner Batsh, Capt. Cranrner, and are now at my house. This morning the vessel is not to be seen ; her masts are down, and in all probability she has gone to pieces. I am just sending a vessel out to her, and am going to Bri gantine Beach to take charge of what may be stranded. The vessel is insured in New Bedford ; the cargo partly in China. I have not time to:saymore. Very respectfully, yours, S. WILLETS, Jur., Commissioner of Wrecks. BALTIMORE, SEPT. 23. By the brig William Prince, at this port, we have dates from Rio, to the 2d ult., which you will find in the paper sent with this. The storm at the South did great injury to the Georgia Railroad, and at one place near Greensborough, the rain washed away the embankment, leaving a chasm 20 feet deep. On Thursday night, and before the injury to the road was known, the train of cars were run as usual, and on coming to this part, run off the track, and the locomotive and baggage car plunged down the chasm. A portrait painter, named Hayden, was riding in the baggage car, which was placed ahead of the locomotive. He was seriously injured by the fall, and also much scalded by the hot water from the engine. The engineer ,was also injured, but fortunately no other persons. There is nothing new in the western papers. COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MARKETS, SEPT. 25. The transactions at the Board of Brokers were to con siderable extent to-day at Harlem, the sales of which reached about 3,300 shares, closed at pr 3 4, an im provement of 1 per cent., 400 Shares United States Bank sold: going as low as 5 1 4, a decline of 1-2 per cent ; Farmers Trust fell off 1-2 ; Mohawk 1-4 ; Delaware and Hudson improved 1-4 ; Canton Co. 1-4 ; Patterson 3-4. In State Stocks the transactions were very extensive. Indiana Bonds improved per cent., selling at 17i, and Sterling at 48; State Five-and-Half sold at 90, and Illi nois Sixes at 44. Of monetary affairs in general the most remarkable feature is the present high rates of exchange, and consequent shipment of specie to England and France. The scarcity of good bills and the advance on the rates, proceeds probably from the absence of any mate rial export at this moment of our chief staple, and the cessation of remittances in stock or public securities, which, within a view months, have been always used in a- greater or lesser degree, as a medium of remittance, or been the basis on which bills were drawn. At this moment the only drawer in the market, we presume, against stocks, is the Bank of Commerce, which is selling on London at 9 3-4 per cent., probably against stock sent there, part of the one million taken of the United States. An unusual demand, too, is created by the increased importations of goods made in conscqnence of the ap proaching advance of the duties. No doubt however as soon as the cotton crop comes fully into the market, the suyply of bills will be found sufficient to keep rates of exchange below par ; meantime the existing demand for specie creates no uneasiness, as our banks are amply supplied, and it rids them of a large dead capital. The exports of specie this week to Europe will probably reach one million of dollars, and there has besides been a considerable amount taken for Canton. The Bank, of course, tender gold for their notes when specie is required, and obtain I per cent. premium for American Halves, at which rates they have parted with large amounts. No satisfactisfaetory offers having been made for the two millions loans advertised by the Secretary of the Treasury, we are informed the Treasurer of tha United States is here endeavourina to dispose of it on more advantageous terms. We have reason to believe that no offers were made above par for a 6 per cent. stock. The caso of M`Leod and the rumours which were put in circulation a short time since of a peremptory demand for his release being about to be made by the British Minister, have probably caused capi talists to be backward in investing in United State Stocks. Of State Stocks heavy sales are making, and at some what depressed rates. A better feeling is gaining ground as regards Railroad Stocks—indeed, it is evident ; such is the natural increase of business throughout the coun try, that where railroads have been undertaken with common prudence, it will require only time to make them highly productive. We subjoin the rate of Stocks to-day :-- Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer. PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 24.

Caldwell had forged a letter of for twenty-five thousand dollars, from the house of Maunsel White and Co. of this city, upon the bank ing. house of Brown, Brothers, and Co. in New York, which latter firm is a branch of the English firm of that name in Liverpool. Caldwell is supposed to be the Englishman who forged certificates of deposits to it large amount upon several banks of this city last winter." Th e Intel- Bee states that the letter of credit was sent from George; town, D. C., based on a consignment of 1 , 011 bales 0 ' cotton, it was paid. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—Two great forgeries have Je st been perpetrated on houses here by a process somewhat like that by which so large sums were obtained- some months ago. In this case, one of the frauds practised on the great house of Brown Brothers and Co., and el the other on the agents of Fletcher, Alexander , and Co., England, each for about $25,000.
