EVENING SUN SPIRIT of the - PUBLIC JOURNALS viols TICS DAILY PAPERS Or YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Another attempt is, it seems, to be made, by the appointment of a fresh Commission, to endeavour to reform that reproach to our age and na tion, the Court of Chancery. The object of this Commission is " to examine into the forms and modes of proceeding in the Courts of Equity, with a view of rendering the system less cumbrous, and the progress of a suit less tedious and ex pensive." The very appointment of such a commission is matter of satisfaction. It admits the existence of a " cumbrous" and " expensive" system of jurisprudence, rendering the progress of a suit " tedious," and th e amount of costs incurred by the litigants ruinous to most—oppressive to all. " A Chancery suit has become the object of dread and horror. Its very name is only another form of expression for delay, carried beyond the bounds of human endurance—for expense, which none but the most wealthy can sustain—for a con stantly craving monster, by whose maw the amount of the property in dispute, be it personal or real, is gene rally devoured, so that if the worn-out suitors have not quitted life before the judgment of the Court is pro nounced, they have long since abandoned hope of advantage from the decision." In most cases, the ori. ginal parties have passed away from the anxieties of time ere the cause becomes ripe for judgment, leaving to their heirs the certain regret that their predecessors took the most effectual means to diminish their substance, even though by so doing they antici pated the natural period at which they would, without such en auxiliary, have been placed in possession of what is left. "The Courts of Equity," says a Tory Contemporary, who converts the appointment of the commission into an occasion for eulogizing Sir It. Peel as a Reformer—" The Courts of Equity are now practically closed against all the people, except where objects of very great value are concerned, and prac tically closed against the less wealthy, whatever may be the object. If the Courts of Equity are good for anything, it is a good confined to the wealthy ; and these Courts are often a positive evil to the poor, dragged within their meshes , without the power eitherl to defend themselves when enthralled, or to escape from the thraldom." We are sceptics as to any practical reform being effected by this much-vaunted appointment of a com mission ; and must therefore withhold our plaudits from the Premier, until its report, making known its plans for reforming the Court of Chancery, be published. STA ND A RD.—The charge against Sir Robert Peel is no longer that he postponed the exposition of his intended financial arrangements ; that is a charge which cannot be maintained amid the proofs afforded by every day's events, that any financial plan prepared in October must have been prepared in ignorance of the demands upon the public purse, and of the strength of the existing sources of revenue. The shape that the accusation now takes is somewhat different. We quote the Morning Chronicle : " The most criminal aspect of their delay was its heartless disregard of the condition of suffering mil lions. They evaded and postponed, and have the desperate hope of escaping the great question by which the nation is agitated. They leave the peo ple to face the horrors of the coming winter, with trade embarrassed and declining ; with a harvest so bad that prices are kept down by the sale of corn scarcely fit to thicken hog's wash ; with bread 40 per cent. dearer than across the Channel ; with the prospect of famine producing the mockery of open ports when the frost shall have locked up those from which supplies should come ; they perpetrate this crime, because what intelli gence and desire of popular favour exist amongst them, are overborne by the sinister interest of a rapacious and haughty monopolist class." Divested of that vehement eloquence in which it is clothed, the charge here brought against Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues amounts to this, and no more— that they did not provide some remedy against the dis tresses threatened by the approaching winter. Now what remedy, we ask, was it in their power to apply ? The adoption of the rejected scheme of the late Administration? Why, this would have been to augment greatly the distress, as far as it can be said to arise from tl.e high price of corn. The markets are now, happily, declining; but very lately the duty payable on foreign corn was so much less than the Bs. duty, which the Whig-Radical scheme would impose, that it is calculated there are four millions of quarters of foreign corn in the country. The corn is here—much the greater part of it imported at a duty of one shilling, and it surely matters nothing to those who are to consume it at what time it was imported. The consumer has it at a Continental price, increased only by a nominal duty—has it not only to purchase on these cheap terms, but to depress the price of grain of home growth. As to what our Contemporary says of the bad quality of English corn, we cannot forget a similar complaint last year from the same quarter, and our answer to it ; which was simply a reference to the bills of mortality, in proof that the corn was not unwholesome. COURIER.—The objection to Whig Commissions was their expensiveness, and the facilities they afforded for jobbing ; neither of these can apply to the Commis sions or Commissioners emanating from the present Government. And in this consists the main difference as regards the question of Comrnissionerships between its conduct and that of its predecessor. We do not mean to say, as we do not think, that the publics money is uselessly laid out in the collection and ar rangement of details and facts either illustrative or pertinent, but we dislike the system, which devolved the important duty upon paid Commissioners, mere temporary officials, devoid of position and responsibi lity, and therefore affording the Legislature no suffi cient guarantee either for the correctness or impartiality of their reports. But the case before us evinces a completely different spirit. We are to have no salaried commissioners—no gaping s for o ffi ce and its emolu ments amongst hungry dependents—no scramblings far place. But those in whom the nation confides—men of experience, judgment, and tried abilities—have been appointed to conduct the investigation into the respective departments named ; and upon their reports and, suggestions the most cautious need not scruple to act. From them we anticipate many valuable improve ments. It is not the saving of expense, for ex ample, in the collection of the revenue—one of the objects of the inquiry instituted by Sir Robert Pee!—which we so much value, as the removal of all harassing, needless restrictions, and the substitu tion, for the entangled, clumsy complications which now prevail in many of the minor departments con nected with the Custom-house, of one simple, uniform system. That there may be a considerable saving of expense, we do not deny—although upon that point we are not very sanguine—but that commercial operations, and those engaged in them, will be relieved from many cumbersome instructions ; and that the mode of col lecting the revenue by being simplified, will greatly tend to olighten its pre ssure , we fully expect ; and the con fidence. we r e p ose i n t h e acu t eness and comprelsen seness of the C omm i ss i oners i ns pires the hope that the event will realise our fullest expectations. These are the kinds of amendmenti andeL egisla t ure raform which the ne- tion requires, an d wheh th can sa n ct io n and approve w ith out dread of u lterior consequences ; they are as s a f e as beneficial ; the proposal of ; th them will excite no strife carrying of them will leave no bitterness , no wild untrie de theories, no sweep ing revolutions, but ne cessary , t practi cal, well-considered g measures of reform, root of abuses, which come home to the bosoms and business of all, and which, while they afford substantial and immed ia te relief to many, inflict injury upon none. To si mp lif y and a ch eapen the co llection of the revenue—to disen cumber proceed ings in equity from all those forms and restrictions which obstruct justice, by rendering the approach to it difficult and expensive, which diminish its value by de laying its decisions—these are the truly national and beneficial objects proposed by the present Government, and for the attainment of which it has made so appro priate and felicitous a selection of Commissioners. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9. BURNESTER V. PARRY. In this case the parties had agreed to take the opinion of the Court as to the construction of the residuary clause in the will of a testator, who died in 1790, whereby the testator gave all his personal estate to his wife, with power to dispose of the same as she should think fit ; but in case she should die possessed of any part thereof, without having made any disposition, then the trustees in trust to divide the same amongst his three daughters, or such of them as should be living at the time of her decease, and testator appointed his trustees executors. The executors proved the will, and testator's debts being paid, there remained a considerable residuel amongst which were certain turnpike securities, which were handed over to the widow, and the profits of which she enjoyed during her life. At her death the three daughters conceived they were entitled to them under, the residuary clause, and entered upon the receipt of the profits of the securities, and continued to receive them until the death of the eldest daughter, who made her will and bequeathed all her property to one other sisters , who then took two-thirds of the profits of the securities, the othe r third being enjoyed as before by her remaining sister. This second daughter also died, and the remaining sister ! athe profits of the whole securities, and died, leav ingcuto4r,l by which she appointed the plaintiff her ex& de fendant, and gave the residue of her property to the de who claimed them as part of the estate of the surviving on rvinngdaughter.

FORD. The COURT gave judgment in this case, which was ar gued by Mr. Erie during the present Term. It was an action of replevin, and a rule was moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict for the defendant was against the whole weight of the evidence, which went to prove that the 451. paid to the defendant was for rent due. The Court was of opinion that there ought to be a rule for a new trial. GARDNER V. M'MAHON. Mr. COWLING moved, in this case, for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered, by leave of the Learned Judge. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Patte son at the last Middlesex sittings, and a verdict had for the plaintiff for 1761. The action was for work and labour done, and the ordinary money counts, and to these the plaintiff pleaded non-assumsit, payment, and the statute of limitations ; and that was the only plea with which the Court would have anything to do. The plaintiff was an engraver, and the work done was the engraving of a map of the island of St. Christopher. The work was executed in the years 1830 and 1831, and about the same time the defendant paid Mr. Gardner 1051. on account. It would appear that there had been no dispute as to the quality of the work ; but the cause of action having occurred ten years ago, the only evidence which could take it out of the statute of limitations, was a letter written by the defendant to the plaintiff on the 28th of October, 1835. The letter stated that the defendant did not mean that his creditors should lose what he owed them, and that he would not only pay his debts, but interest upon them, if he could. As, the statute of limitations had been mentioned, he (the defendant) was ready to put it out of his own power to plead the statute. He was un able to pay them, as, in the course of the year, the West Indian subscribers to the map had failed to pay their subscriptions. It was indis pensable, in the first place, that the amount of the balance due should be fixed, and then he was ready to give his note. The letter then referred to the estimate given in by the plaintiff, and alleged that the charge for engraving the map had much exceeded it. He hoped, under these circumstances, the plaintiff would be prepared to say what deduction he would make, and he would then be glad to give his note for the amount if he could do so with justice to his other creditors. That was the substance of the letter and he (Mr. Cowling) submitted that it was not suf ficient to take the ease out of the statute. A letter to do that must contain a clear and unconditional promise to pay what was due on a distinct acknowledgment, from which a promise might be inferred. Although it was not necessary that the amount should be stated, it was clearly indispensable that the amount due should not be disputed. The defendant had clearly made it a condi tion precedent of his promise to pay the debt that the amount should be settled and some deduction from the charge made. It was contended by the other side that the letter was clearly an admission of money due, from whence a promise to pay might be inferred. Lord DENMAN—You won't contend that an uncondi tional promise was necessary, if there was a complete' acknowledgment of the debt due? Mr. COWLING—No, my Lord; but where the defen dant disputes the amount, the letters cannot be taken as an acknowledgment. The Learned Counsel having re ferred to the authorities on the subject, The COURT took time to consider its decision. MILWARD V. HERBERT AND ANOTHER. Mr. CRESWELL said this was an action upon a policy of insurance effected by the defendants, Directors of the Mutual Marine Insurance Company, upon the steam ves sel the Kilkenny, trading between London and Waterford. The declaration set forth that in consideration of the sum of 2261. paid by the plaintiff, the defendants did for themselves and their partners, covenant and agree with the plaintiff to make good all losses and damage that might happen to the vessel, her hull, stores, machinery, &c., which were thereby insured to the value of 20,0001 . an the cargo to the value of 3,6001. The decla ration then alleged the payment of the premium, and that during the continuance of the policy and while the defendants were still interested, the vessel took on board, at Waterford, divers stores and goods, and among the rest 1,000 pigs, to be conveyed to London. That while the vessel was proceeding on the voyage, and during the continuance of the risk, by reason of the vio lence of the winds and waves, it became necessary, in order to preserve the vessel and cargo, to throw a part of the cargo overboard, and the master accordingly did throw the pigs overboard. There was this singularity in the declaration, that no other cargo was shown to be taken on board, and that in order to save the cargo the pigs were thrown overboard. His Learned Friend (Sir Wm. Follett), who was on the other side, suggested that that might be accounted for by its being an Irish voyage.—(A laugh). It was then alleged that the owners of the vessel paid a contribution by way of general average to the owners of the pigs. To that the defendants pleaded that the pigs, up to the time of their being thrown overboard, had been placed on the deck of the vessel, by reason whereof the defendants were not liable to pay for any loss. To that the plaintiffs re plied, that at the time the pigs were so laden and placed on the deck of the vessel, she was proceeding on her voyage from Waterford to London, and t!lat there was a certain usage and custom in the trade with regard to the placing of pigs upon the deck. To that the defendants had demurred, and the special cause of demurrer assigned that the defendants had no notice of the custom therein stated, or that the vessel would be employed in carrying pigs. Now this was an, action of the owner of the ship against the under writers to recover, under the policy, a contribution by way of general average, for the loss sustained by throwing the pigs overboard. It was laid down iu books of authority, that where a deck cargo was carried, and the goods were subsequently thrown overboard to lighten the ship, the owner of the cargo was not entitled to make contribution by way of general average. It was very reasonable that such a rule should be followed, because the principle on which general average rested was that all the goods on board were in an equal and like danger. If the danger was equal, then the contribution should be equal; but that could not be where there was a deck loading, because its natural tendency was to place all the rest in greater danger, to impede the working of the ship and render her top heavy. Again, danger to a deck cargo was much greater than to a cargo stowed below, for it might be washed overboard, and the perils of the sea were in creased thereby, and the danger and risk to the owner was much more than those having goods under hatches. He apprehended, therefore, that the general rule of law that contribution, by way of average, should not be made in regard to goods loaded on deck. The Learned Counsel referred to the case of Da Costa v. Edwards, 4th Campbell, which was an action upon a policy of in surance upon a voyage from London to Lisbon, to recover the value of forty carboys of vitriol. The carboys were lashed on deck, and a storm broke one of them, and they taking fire, it was necessary, in order to save the vessel and cargo, to throw them over board. Lord Ellenborough in that case left it to the Jury to say whether it was usual to carry them on deck, and whether they were properly stowed. Now, the Learned Judge in that case adopted the law that the underwriters, but for the usage, would not be liable for the goods ; and how much less could the rule apply to the case of the underwriters on the ship, who had no notice of the trade the vessel would be engaged in. In the present case it was not alleged that the underwriters had had any notice, but lie submitted that the plaintiffs were bound to have done so. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—If it were an action upon a policy to recover the value of goods how would it be ? Mr. CRESWELL—If the party insured goods for the voyage, whatever extraordinary habit prevailed as to these goods, he must be supposed to know it ; but when the party effected a policy on the ship there was nothing to draw his attention to any extraordinary usage or purpose to which the vessel might be applied. The contract in the present case was evidently a contract between the owner of the ship and the Owner of the goods, and could not affect the under writers on the ship. On these grounds he submi tted that the replication was bad for not averring a notice o f the custom, and the more especially as this was a time policy. He contended that in all these cases there must be a notice expressed or implied, but the somehow or other notice NV - s essential ingredient, and must appear on the record,for the se reasons it a ppeared to him that the pleawas a nd good, judgment that the Court replication mustdid nboet answer it, and th at t for T t h h e e d seL efe t n e d i a T n e t il .. GENERAL for the plaintiffs submitted that the terms of the poli c y being services, they ces, to isure the ship from all losses at all times and i n a ll the defendants could not now set up the plea that the nature of the trade the vessel wasto The question was, whether the good s in the manner usually recognized in that been stowed had d a e d e b n employed in. notice of e o Particular trade, and if that were the case there could b e no pre tence for refusing or denying their li a bili t denyingmight state here Celt an action had been brought by the owner of goods against the shipowners in the Irish Court of Exchequer, and the very samo question had been raised there, namely, whether, from the circum stance of the goods being loaded upon the deck, the owner was entitled to compensation. The Chancellor of Exchequer in Ireland had held that the goods bei carried according to the usual custom, the owner was en. titled. Now such was the view of the case which he was submitting to the Court, and with regard to notice, it was held by the general insurance law of England that that Where notice of the usage of trade was not necessary. the underwriters undertook the extended ris of insuring in all trades, they obtain ed a correspondingp The reum, and could not then plead wa nt of notice. defendant's plea did not set out that th e g oods by being placedon deck impeded the navigation of the vessel, or increased the risk, and therefore it was manifestly insufficient. Had • they alleged that the risk had been thereby in creased, that might have called upon the plaintiff to show why the goods had been so loaded. Every underwriter was assumed to be acquainted with the practice of the trade in which ho insured, and if a different rule was . to be applied to time policies they would be nothing more than a dead letter. On these grounds he submitted that the judgment of the Court must be for the plaintiff. Mr. Cr.EsWELL having replied, The COURT took time to consider its judgment. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Nov. 9. RE SIR WILLIAM BOYD. The insolvent in this case was the individual who had made two or three attempts to escape from the Fleet Prison, and one time so far succeeded as to get to Charing-cross disguised as an old woman. He stated to the Court that he had been knighted by William IV., on presenting his Majesty with an epitome of a work called the " History of Literature." Mr. THOMAS, on behalf of several creditors, applied to the Court, that they might be permitted' to prove their debts now, on the grounds of not having previous intima tion of the insolvent being about to pass through that Court. In snaking the application he felt bound at the same daze to inform the Court that there were many of them which had been contracted more than ten or eleven years back, and that the Statute of Limitations might be pleaded against them; but he trusted this sta tute would not be allowed to act as a bar against the claims, as the insolvent had managed to keep out of the way of his creditors for many years, and had been in Ame rica and upon the Cantinent for a long time, Mr. Hobson, coachmaker, of South -street, Grosvenor square, said the insolvent came to him about thirteen years ago, and bought a cabriolet with harness for 1501., fur which he gave two bills, which proved to be value less. For years afterwards he never met him, until he saw him one night at 011ey's, when he gave him into custody for swindling, but the police would not interfere. He had frequently tried to meet him since, to sue him, I but in vain. Several other witnesses having deposed similarly, the Learned Commissioner said he would adjourn the case to Saturday, the 20th inst., before whieh time the insol vent was to receive two days' notice of the particulars of any of the new demands against him. Mr. Hobson informed the Learned Commissioner that he and those creditors who appeared to-day were in ig norance whether the insolvent was in existence or not until they saw the newspaper reports of his examination. IN THE MATTER OF CHRISTOPHER SMITH. In this case, the particulars of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, the insolvent was called up for judg ment, when the Learned Commissioner ordered him to be remanded for nine months from the date of his vest ing order.

C. C. GREVILLE. RE WM. ROBINS. The insolvent kept a public-house in Clare-market, and was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of a number of creditors. After a lengthened examination, Mr. Commissioner LAW said the facts of this case wore of so glaring a na ture that he felt bound to remand the insolvent for 18 months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mary Jones, a woman of the town, who has been in custody a great many times at this Court, was brought before Mr. Trail!, charged on suspicion with being concerned in the death of a man whose body was found in the river a few days ago. Anderson, the beadle of Lambeth, stated that on Thursday last the body of a man was picked up in the Thames near the Cornwall-road, which was afterwards recognised to be that of a man named Compton, who was a discharged soldier. The body, from its decom posed state, must have been for some considerable time in the water, but notwithstanding this circumstance it was satisfactorily proved to be that of the man alluded to, whose daughter described that her father had re ceived between 51. and 61. on Friday, the 15th ult., the day from which he was missing, and that when he was found drowned there was not a halfpenny in any of his pockets. It was strongly suspected that he had met with foul play on the night of the day he re ceived the above sum of money, as he was seen at a late hour in the company of two persons of very bad character, and he was evidently under the influence of liquor at the time. The woman Jones was the last person seen in the company of the deceased, and that was at ten minutes after 12 o'clock on the night of the 15th ult. The place where they were observ©d together was near the water side at Rotherhithe, and a man not since to be found was with them. Mr. TRAILL inquired how it was ascertained Jones was with the deceased on the night he was suspected to have been drowned ? _ _ Anderson in reply, said that the deceased went to the Wheatshealpublic-house, adjacent to Seven Steps-alley, where he had previously lodged, and asked the landlord for some liquor. The landlord, however, perceiving that he had already had enough, refused to serve him, upon which the deceased sent the prisoner into the house for half a pint of gin, and gave her the money to purchase it ; that it was then after 12 o'clock at night, and when she left the house the deceased, the prisoner, and a man were seen to go away together. This was the last time the unfortunate man was seen. The prisoner said that she could not help the deceased being drowned ; that she was in his company on the night in question, when he was intoxicated, and that when he left her she did not know what became of him, and was not aware that he was drowned the same night until she was informed by the beadle. Mr. TRAILL said, that at the present stage of the in quiry he did not wish to call on the prisoner to say any thing that was likely to criminate herself ; that as yet there was no evidence to implicate her in the death of the man, for, in fact, it had not been ascertained whe ther or not any violence had been exercised towards him. The fact, however, of no money being found in his pockets, when it was known that he had received a con siderable sum on that day, certainly threw a degree of suspicion on the parties last seen in his company, parti cularly when it was known that they were persons of bad character. The prisoner, who cried very much during the time she was at the bar, was then remanded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING,IB43.

Moor Company, met an awful death at the pit near the Chapel House Inn ' Low Moor. They were descend in g into the sh a f t early in the morning, one of them being employed to tend a pony which hurries the curves in the pit, when the rope broke and they were both precipi tated to th e bottom —a distance of about sixty or seventy yards. They were, of course, both killed ; but the most lamentable part of the circumstance is that there can be no doubt that they have been deliberately sacrificed, as it was immediately ascertained that the rope had been cut nearly through, and the part cut covered, so as to pre vent its being discovered. Many reports are in circula tion which, for the ends of justice, we withhold. Sugden has left a wife and nine children, and Fox had been only a few weeks married.—Bolton Fr ee Press.

Fantome, it appears that she has taken another prize, being the thirteenth, which shows the horrors of the slave-trade in another light. The prize was a schooner 30 feat in length, by 9 feet beam, and had on board one hundred and five slaves, all children, besides the crew. The vessel was scarcely of 20 tons burthen, and the deck, on which the slaves were literally stowed, was only eighteen inches clear from the mat they lay on to the deck be tween the beams. It is a curious circumstance that the whole of the prizes taken by Captain Butterfield have been captured on a Sunday. A turnip of the tankard species, measuring fully 42 inches in circumference, was lately taken up in a field of common white turnips belonging to Mr. Waugh, of North Earle.—Berwick Advertiser. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY. Preparations are now making by the Directors of the London and Blackmail Railway Company for the car riage of goods upon that line. Warehouses for the re ception of the goods are in progress, and a contract to be completed on the Ist of January next has been en tered into for the hoisting and lowering, apparatus. The operations are to be confined in the first instance to the conveyance of heavy merchandise from the West India Docks—the great emporium of such commodities—to London ; subsequent arrangements will extend through out the whole line, namely, from the Brunswick wharf at Blackwell to the terminus in Fenchurch-street. It is proposed to attach one or more loaded waggons to every passenger train (which, as our readers are aware, run every quarter of an hour throughout the day), and arrangements have been made which will obviate the possibility of delay from this cause. The goods will be delivered at the door of the consignee in the same vehi cle az will be used on the railway, the vehicle being lowered into the road so as to render unloading and reloading unnecessary. It is calculated that at least 2001. per week will thus be added to the Company's revenue—an estimate which we do not think is by any L means overrated, when it is considered that no extra power will be required, and consequently no further ex pense incurred, except incidentally. With respect to the passenger traffic, although it is yet far from being what it was expected to be, and what we are convinced it ultimately will be, the gradual and steady improvement which it has experienced, augurs well for its future results. The following arc the re turns for three months in the past and present years:- 1840. 1841. July £2,351 ...... £4,294 August ....... 3,640 September Total ...... £9,027 £14,208 Thus exhibiting an increase of about a 0 per cent.—a proportion which it is believed will be kept up during the ensuing winter months. The number of passen gers conveyed during the last four months has been az follows : July August 252,044 September October The total number of passengers carried on the rail way in the sixteen months that have elapsed since its opening, has been upwards of 2,700,000, and this with out loss of life or limb, or any serious accident whatever. The number of passengers embarked at the Bruns wick Wharf, Blackwell, during the fifteen months end ing in September last was not less than 780,000. We have no doubt that next year even this large number will be greatly increased.—Railway Times. ADDITIONAL NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. LATEST FROM TEXAS.—Yesterday morning, says the New Orleans Picayune, the steam-packet Kingston, Captain Boylan, arrived from Galveston, bringing us dates to the 10th instant. The election returns are not yet complete, but as far as heard from, the vote for President stands 3,151 majority for Houston over Burnet ; and for Vice-Pre sident, as far as received, Burleson's majority over Hunt is 829. There is not the least doubt of the suc cess of Houston and Burleson. The Austin Gazette says that some Shawnee traders had arrived at the settlement on Red River, and state that a " large body of white men had fought the In dians on the Upper Brazos for three successive days, and defeated them." This body is supposed to be the Santa Fe troops. The Gazette of August 25 has the following : " The schooner of war Campechana arrived at Gal veston on the 2d ult., with Colonel Peraza, as Envoy Extraordinary from the Government of Yucatan to the Government of Texas, with proposals to furnish 200,000$ for the immediate equipment of the squadron to co-operate with tbem against the Centralists. Colonel Paraza had gone to Austin. A proclamation has been issued by Arista, for all the male inhabitants of 14 years and upwards to assemble at Monelova, for the purpose of forming an army for the invasion of Texas early in October. This information has been imparted to the Govern ment at Austin under affidavit. The cities of Houston and Galveston still remain healthy. A duel was fought at Galveston on the sth ult., be tween Dr. Garden and Lieut. Lansing, both of the navy, in which the latter was severely wounded. They fought with pistols at five paces. The clothes of each were repeatedly pierced with balls, and on the sixth fire Lieut. Lansing was wounded in the right thigh. Gen. Houston is elected, according to the Houston Star, by a large majority. LATER FROM MEXICO. By the bark Ann Louisa, Capt. Clifford, we have Vera Crus papers to the 14th ult. The Censor of the 10th contains a spirited commu nication from General Santa Anna, dated the Bth, to the Governor of the Department, in the nature of a manifesto, in which he denounces the acts of President Bustamente, and declares his cordial adhesion to the " plan" of General Paredes and Valencia. The Censor of the 14th contains a still longer com munication from General Santa Anna to General Almonte (Bustamente's right hand man), dated Fort Perote, September 9th, complaining particularly of the course of the President in declaring the capital in a state of siege, placing himself personally at ° the head of the army, and subjecting the civil power to the military. He concludes by saying, " I accuse you and his Excellency General Bustamente, of having violated the Constitution in the matters spoken of ; and in consequence thereof, 1 no longer acknowledge the authority of said General, either as the head of the army, or as President of the Republic ; nor do I ac knowledge you as the legitimate organ of the Govern ment for communications relative to the Ministry of War." The " plan of Paredos," aq it is called, i. e. the re volutionary project broached by that General in the latter part of August, finds many adherents. The de- partments of Vera Cruz, Guanaxuato, Queretaro, Zacatecas, &c., are represented to have pronounced in favour of the movement. General Paredes, by the last accounts, was in Guanaxuato, at the head of 4,000 men, in connection with General Costazar. There were rumours that Tampico had pronounced, but this is doubtlu!. The city of Mexico has been the scone of some dis turbanccs—a part of the garrison having revolted—but the Government maintained its position. The extra ordinary powers of Bustamente were concerted, or as sumed, in consequence of the revolutionary movements ; but the assumption of such powers seems to have in creased the opposition to his administration. A pc,blic meeting was hell at Vera Cruz, Sept. 11th, at which resolutions were adopted having in view the formation of a Provisional Government for the Re public, in lieu of that of President Bustamente. The Censor, of Sept. 13th, states that the Dictator ordered the publication of all the newspapers in the capital to be suspended, except the Boletin, which was issued for his own purposes. A Matamoros paper informs us that they cotton crop in the neighbourhood of that city will amount the pre sent year to about a thousand quintals, and will sell, according to current prices, for $24,000. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MURDERERS AC QUITTED.—A letter from Judge Ford, dated Oregon C:ty, Illinois, Sept. 27th, to the Editor of the Peoria Register, says—" The persons who had a hand in the Driaea.,l murder last summer, have been indicted and tried at the recent term of the Circuit Court of Ogle county. One hundred and twenty persons were indicted, and all acquitted by the jury. NEW WORK ON THE EAST.—The present momentous condition of our eastern 'possessions makes every particle of intelligence respecting India of more than usual importance, and the new work, entitled " Five Years in India," by henry Edward Fane, Esq., late Aide-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief in India, is looked for with a proportionate degree of expec tation and curiosity by all interested in Indian affairs. Mr. Fane, during the long period comprised in his work, had unusual opp ortun i t i es o f acquiring correct informa tion respecting almost every topic in which English readers would desire to be acquainted, and the recent character of his information will much enhance its value. Mr. Fane's Accou n t o f th e storming of Ghuzni is said to contain a greater amount of interesting matter than has yet been made publi c ; an d the part of his work relating to 114inieet Sing is understood to present many new and striking particulars respecting the Court. &c., of that celebrated chieftain. FERRERS, A ROMANCE OF THE REIGN OF GEORGE ll.—The scene of this new work of fiction, which exhibits the events that characterised the life of Lawrence, Earl Ferrero, from his accession to title until his miserable end, is partly in London during the me morable earthquakes, an d partly a t Stanton llarold, the family seat in Leicest ers hire. In incident and adven ture the forthcomi ng roma nce is understood to be un usually rich, while, among the dramatis persona', are in troduced the celebrated Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, George Whitfield, the great preacher of the Methodists, and Lady Suffolk, the favourite of George ll.—per personages entirely new in historical novels. CONNECTION BETWEEN ABUNDANCE OF FOOD AND MORTALIT Y . BY M. 'M E LIER.—In this me moir, which was read at the Academy of Medicine of Paris, on the 7th of September, the author established, by numerous d ocumen t s drawn from the histories of various countries, that the number of deaths always cor responds with the price of food. " Wherever there's a loaf added, there's a man born," said an economist ; and nothing is more true than this metaphorical expression. If we represent the variations of the general mortality and those of the price of bread at different times, by two curved lines which rise and fall with all the fluctua tions of these particulars, we shall find all their curva tures exactly, and with the most perfect regularity, cor responding. The constant increase of the population !of France, for a certain number of years, is tasily ex plained by the progress of agriculture, the modifica tions which the laws relating to corn have undergone, and especially by the introduction of potatoes. The in fluence of the dearness - of food, however, is observed more distinctly in the year next following than in that in which it has occurred.—Gazette Medicale. CORONER'S INQUEST. The examination of witnesses in the adjourned inquest on the body of Michael Aungier, found dead in a cab on Saturday morning last, was resumed yesterday at two o'clock, at the Grapes public-house. Charles Pearson, the servant boy in the employment of Mr. Paccard, was then sworn, and gave his evidence, which was to the same effect as that which we reported in The Sun of Saturday. The servant girl, the cabman, and the policeman, were also examined, but their evidence furnished no ad ditional information. Charles Jones Snitch was then sworn, and deposed as follows :—I am a surgeon, residing at No. 33, Brydges street. On the morning of Saturday last, at about a quarter past five o'clock, I was called to the station house, and I saw a man, then placed on a stretcher, quite dead. The body was just warm, so that I should judge, from his having been exposed to the cold air, that he might have been dead about an hour, his hands being perfectly cold, and the trunk only warm. The pupils of the eyes were dilated. It was useless to try any means to restore him, such as bleeding, &c., and I therefore made no attempt. Having received your warrant for the postmortem examination, with an analysis of the contents of the stomach, I proceeded to execute it on the Sunday afternoon, assisted by Mr. Brooks. The following is the result of that investiga tion :—" Externally the body presented no marks of violence. It was intimated by a gentleman present at the examination (Mr. Coates, I believe) that he thought he perceived a red line round the throat ; but, upon examination, it proved to be nothing more than the usual appearance of accumulated blood, probably arising from the position in which his body had been placed in the cab. On removing the calverium or skull cap, the following appearance presented itself :—The blood-vessels of the outer covering of the brain were distended with congested, that is, congealed blood, the membrane adhering very firmly to the bones of the skull. The blood-vessels in the brain were in the same gorged and distended state. On removing a por tion of the brain, a quantity . of water (it might be about two ounces) was seen in the ventricles, the na tural quantity being but a drop. There was also a slight rupture of some of the minute vessels, and a few drops of blood effused. The chest was next exa mined. The heart, small in size, but perfectly healthy, was somewhat flat, the lungs gorged and distended with congested blood. The external surface of the stomach, the small and large intestines exhibited the blood-vessels in the same full and distended state as those of the brain, being charged with congested blood. The liver looked perfectly . healthy, and proved so on examination, from which I infer that the man could not be a drinker. The contents of the stomach were entered into a bottle. The internal condition of the stomach was next examined, and its coats were found to be particularly thin, and that more so in some parts than others. The blood-vessels ex hibited the same full state as the other organs. Its whole complexion indicated some degree of inflammation. It was next washed, and the water deposited in another bottle. These two bottles I carried to a gentleman of the name of Wonfor, who has made scientific chemistry his study. This gentleman has submitted the contents of the stomach (the quantity in it being about a pint) to various tests. The following is the result of his observa tions:—‘ I have submitted the contents of the two bottles to a careful examination, and do not discover the existence of any poisonous matter. But the ingesta consist of rum, beer, and animal matter. I have submitted my results to Dr. Pereira, and it is his opinion that no poison has been given.' Under such circumstances, I can come to no other conclusion than that the deceased died from a state strongly bordering on apoplexy; but whether caused by the excess of spirits, wine, or malt liquor, or whether the result of his age, lam not able to say. If unaccustomed to drinking, that would be very likely to lead to such a termination." In reply to a question from a Juryman, Mr. Snitch further stated, that if the party had been drinking to ex cess, his death would have been accelerated by his being driven about in a cab. In reply to a question from a Juryman, Mr. Brooks stated that he was of opinion, after his examination of the body of the deceased, that his death' might have been caused by excess of drinking alone. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict to the effect, that the deceased Michael Aungier, had been found dead in a cab on Saturday morning; and that his death appeared to have been caused by exces sive drinking, and accelerated by his having been driven about in a cab, where he fell. They would leave it to the friends of the deceased to take any proceedings they might think fit against Messrs. Paccard and Rennet, with whom the deceasad had passed the night. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Mercantile Journal of November 9) SUGAR.—The dulness before noticed in the West Indian market has considerably increased during the present week, and the _transactions have been upon a very limited scale ; both the grocers and refiners have bought sufficient only to meet their wants, and the tendency of prices is downward, but the firmness displayed by the merchants has prevented any decline worth noticing, though in many instances prices that were before refused for the lower kinds were during the better part of last week accepted. Good and fine gro cery samples continue comparatively scarce, and are the best supported. The sales of the week are about 750 hhds and tierces. This being the day, in pursuance to annual custom, set apart for the installation of the new Lord Mayor, our markets were tut thinly attended; no public sale was I brought forward, and it was observed as a holiday in nearly all departments of trade. MAURITIUS.—We have not had a public sale of this description since our last. EAST INDlA.—White Bengal is still inquired after by the grocers, and former rates are paid, with still few parcels offering ; the yellow and brown sorts which are in abundance have again been sold upon easier terms. The only parcel brought to public sale consisted of 274 bags white, which were only partly sold at 72s for fine quality. The sales ;of West India Sugar were confined to a few boards to meet the wants of the buyers, at about the rates of Friday last, at which the merchants showed firmness. FOREIGN.—The demand for Bengal:and Havannah continues extremely dull, and in the absence of a pub lic sale we have had scarcely any business done : at the same time there are few parcels offering, the holders not being disposed to accept further reduced rates, which must be the case were sales to be pressed. For a parcel of fine yellow Havannah 21s has been offered , but refused. REFINED.—The market has been in a dull state for Refined Sugar all the week, and prices have declined . is per cwt ; 80s is the value of standard Lumps ; there is a fair supply of goods. In Treacle several sales have been made, and at former rates ; 25s 6d to 26s paid for common, and 26s 6d to 32s for other sorts. Bas tards have moved off slowly, and at lower rates ; 40e to 46s paid for ord and mid, and 47s to 56s for good and fine. Pieces have found a free sale, good to fine at 67s to 755, and inferior at 60s to 645. Bonded Crushed Sugar dull of sale, fine quality at 28s 9d to 295. Treacle has been in active request at 13s 9d. In Dutch Crushed Sugar no sales have been made, sellers at 27s per cwt. COFFEE.—The market wears the same firm charac ter as when we last wrote. There is a good request for .good clean qualities of West India, but of these there are so few parcels offering that the buyers are not easily suited even at stiff prices ; the low and middling sorts have not so ready a sale, but are held firmly. The public sales have comprised 134 casks 74 barrels, con sisting chiefly of low and unclean sorts, for which there was little competition and the bulk was bought in at very full prices ; the best samples sold rather above former rates. Jamaica low middling fetched 106 s to 1075., fine fine ordinary 100 s to 101 s., fine and fine fine ordinary unclean 755. to 765. ; Berbice, fine ordinary unclean 69s Gd, and Demerara good ordinary unclean 55s per cwt. Ceylon has further advanced Is per cwt, with a god demand; 2,114 bags have been offered by public auction, all of which found buyers, low good or dinary pale at 66s to 68s 6d, ditto little colory at 69s to 70s 6d, and B. P. sort fine fine ordinary colory at 93s 6d to 94s Gd, and fine ordinary palish little colory at 85s per cwt ; the latter sort was considered to be very dear. Mocha is in good request, and prices are rather higher; 221 bales brought to public sale sold briskly, good fair yellowish clean garbled at 102 s to 107 s, and fair bright greenish at 101 s Gd to 103 s Gd per cwt. In other B. I. or Cape sorts there is little alteration, and no material increase of demand has been experienced; 198 bags Batavia sort offered at public sale realised 43s 6d for good ordinary, and 47s to 50s for good were yellow: 1,368 bags La Guayra from the Cape were disposed of by auction, at steady prices— viz., 41s 6d to 42s for good ordinary. The market for Foreign Coffee remains very dull; only one small public sale has been offered, consisting of 462 bags St. Domingo, which was bought in at 41s 6d for good ordinary little colory. Privately the transactions are trivial, and unworthy of enumeration, the holders not being desirous to make sales at present. COCOA..—The prices of West India sorts are a shade lower, and the demand is limited ; the public sales have contained 377 bags and barrels, which went off heavily, not above one-half that quantity finding buyers. Trini dad, mid dark red at 44s 6d to 465, very dark greyish red at 4ls 6d to 435, grey at 40s. Grenada, good fair red at 40s to 435, and St. Lucia, fair red, at 403 per cwt. TEA.—The Overland Mail has had some little effect with regard to the prices of Tea. Company's Congou on Thursday was ls lo id per lb cash- ; and on Friday after the various points had been discussed, the quotation declined to is 9 4 ,c1 to Is 10d, and on Saturday and yes • terday A was ffrmer at is 10d to Is 104-d per lb. 'rho public sales on Friday consisted of 2,830 packages. Congou sold at 2s 4id to 2s 41d, dull and rather reddish leaf 2s lbcl to 2s 2d ; 200 chests Bohea withdrawn at is Bd, 10U boxes Caper 2s lid to 2s 24d ; 158 Souchong 3s 4d to 3s 41d ; Orange Pekoe 2s 10 to 2s 101 d ; Flowery ditto, 4s ; Hyson Skin. 2s 2.1 d but little to 2s 31d ; Hyson 2s 2d to 2s 4id ; Imperial 3s Id to I O r d em to a s in s ed pe fi r r l in b. , 3s lid ; G t u h n e p , o r w e a d er [ To-day market 2s l busi ness was done. Company's Congou is 10d per lb. cash. PIMENTO is held more firmly, but in the absence of public sales we have had but few transactions, which have brought full previous rates. , • SPIRITS. —The demand for Ruin has been extremely limited all the week for both home use and export, but holders are firm, and will not sell proof Leewards under ls. lod. Brandy is held firmly, and a fair business has [ been done. Corn Spirits in good request, at lOs 4d. Geneva is dull, at 2s for common quality. TALLow.—This market has continued in a very dull L state throughout the week. South American Tallow ' 42s 9d to 45s 3d for low to very fine quality. ! RICE.—The demand for Bengal Rice has considerably improved. Good middling and good bold white at 12s 6d to 13s 6d, and low middling and middling at lls 6d to 12s per cwt. Java is held for higher prices, L but there is little disposition to purchase the article. , PEPPER.—The demand for this article is dull, and fine qualities barely support previous rates ; 4,543 bags _ . which was taken in, good fair bright heavy at to Malabar 1% ere offered by public auction , the bulk of ditto grey at 41d to 4-N, fair half heavy bright at 3 0 aid grey much mixed at 3-fd per lb. dig INDlGo.—There is a fair inquiry after EsSt t sorts, and the bought in lots continue to be taken ou a. last sale's prices to 3d to 4d per lb advance for sclectfide lots. About 1,200 chests of the quantity bought in at th e recent sales have been placed. OILS.—AII common Fish Oils remain very firm in price, and upon the whole a fair business is doing! though there is no activity in the market. ra te s Sea l 15 held firmly at 381; Cod at 9 91; and fine Souther! Oil little Whale at 34110 s to 351 per tun. In Sperm business done beyond the public sales, which lower rates, and there was little spirit in the biddinp; the bulk was, however, disposed of, viz.-95 tuns SP er ," / 1 Oil and Headmatter of British catch, the Oil at , to 921. the Headmatter at 1001. to 1021. 55., a nd aba ll ' c atck: 40 tuns Sperm and Headmatter of .American which sold at 89/. 15s to 90/. for the Oil, and at 9 0 1 1 1 lOs to 1051. for Headmatter. For Linsee d d there continues to be a brisk demand, 2° considering the small quantity of Oil that is making, an excellent business has been done, and at ftirtbfe; advanced prices ; 37s has been currently Pai d 1 . 0 parcels on the spot, and it is not difficult to Ma' establis, purchases under 37s 3d per cwt ; for future delivery there is also a good inquiry, and sellers c annot lid, found except at higher rates. Rape Oil is also veP scarce, and prices remain firm. In Olive Oil little ba,' l. ness doing, on account of the great scarcity of the artic' e t no and the high prices quoted are little better than it qi . minal. Small sales made in Cocoa Nut Oil of fine ( l" lity at 40s Gd to 41s per cwt, duty paid. 21. EVENTNG . 5.1114 IRISH MARKETS.
