Commander PITMAN has been dismissed he r MAJESTY'S service. That ignominious sentence, hich was yesterday pronounced on the petty despot of the Childers—that sentence, which will rejoice the heart of every true man in these wide dominions—is the inevitable antecedent of the reversal of the unjust, because excessive, punishment recently inflicted upon Lieutenant GRAHAM and his companion. The dis grace and degradation of the person whose systematic cruelties, while wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, drove two gallant and excellent officers to desert from actual desperation, form a glaring testi mony of the want of some itnpartial and duly-qualified tribunal to adjudicate upon all such casualties. Here was a miserable tyrant casting a slur upon the o'}lest, because'tho,most national, of all our noble and national Profcssi )rIsL-inaltreating so bitterly those who had the miefertune to be subordinate to him in rank, that two or possibly three were goaded to the commission of suicide, and that two others were maddened so as actually to subside into a state of insanity —and yet a bile the infamy of these proceed ings is revolting the whole soul of England, and snaking the islands echo with the voice of popular indignation, two of the victims of this little CALI GULA of the Ocean are subjected to the additional harshness of an unmerited dismissal. Far are we from any inclination to number ourselves among the apologists of desertion, regarding, as we do, the crime of desertion to be one of the most heinous that can be committed by Lny one wearing the sword of fealty tither in the military or the maritime profession. Yet this we are bell to aver, that extenuating facts are admissible in regard to the offence of desertion as in regard to any other infraction of codes moral or material, human or divine. And of all circumstances that could by any possibility be advanced in extenuation of the act of a deserter, none could be more fully entitled to consideration then those, the reality of which were yesterday determined at Plymouth. If this man was the ruthless and relereless persecutor he is declared to have been, especially during the period of his authority on 'board the Chillers—if his brutality pro duced, as the fruits of his command, not subordi nation, or good seamanship, or a cordial and unanimous attachment, but insanity, suicide, and desertion— then was the otherwise culpable act of Lieutenait Camel not culpable, but justifiable, one might almost say commendable. For the generous and gellaet heart of a British seaman, whether an officer or a man- before • the mast would naturally prefer any course rather than that of submission to the fury of an ignoble and vindictive temperament. With such tartars as this arch tartar of the Childers commanding the war ships of her Britannic MAJESTY, it, would have been scarcely possible for NAPOLEON, on the field ol)1 Austerlitz, to remark that this country could afford to lose the victor of Trafalgar, seeing that all the sailors of England were Nelsons. So execrable, in our estimation, is the conduct ,i Such wretched offenders. as Commander PITMAN,that if such were rendered the alternative, we would rather have seen Lieutenant GRAHAM promoted to the rank of Commodore than dismissed the servic, for an act in which he vindicated the independence of spirit most honourable in his profession. But Commander PITMAN has been dii missed the service ; and his name will henc9 fsteh be only borne in recollection as that of One who endeavoured to cast a slur upon a flat which had hitherto fluttered over the brave and the gentle, over officers and over gentlemen. It was the beautiful exclamation of the philanthropist HoweaU, when lying on his death bed—" Bury me under the grass ; place a sundial over my grave ; and let me he forgotten." Haepily for the human rage, neither the deeds of the persecutor nor those of the benefacteir are so speedily obliterated from remembrance. Orie memory is preserved as an example, the other as warning! One as a noble prototype worthy of imitai " tion, the other as a detestable monstrosity, ca t - Pe- •ble only of exciting abhorrence. Let the late Commander of the Childers find a bitte!r consolation in the knowledge that the horror excited by his cruelties is even now exercising a whole Some influence over the community. Sk, far his, otherwise perniCious career will prove if the end beneficial. Through the miseries of his victims the next generation will obtain a salutary exemption from excessive severity. And among the other advantages whiCh will accrue from these I hitherto baneful proceedings, will be one little intended by the mare who.has experienced that degradation and punishment which, in the estimation of all England, he''; has so , richly merited. The case—ae showing the extreme• injustice of the recent treatment of Lieutenant GRAHA M and his comrade—will, as we have before intimated, conduce to the more rapid dis solution of what was already perishing; we mean th e existing system of courts-martial. Now that the Commander of the Childers has been a bruptly and peremptorily dismi sse d the aervic . e, Mr. GRAHAM and his brother officer will necessarily, as a matter of course , be reinstated. So far, a cL an e . n point will have been afforded to those who clamour for this reform in the general management of naval courts-martial. Another and equally glaring exam. ple, corroborative of the arguments advanced against the present system of conducting military courts rnartial, has been afforded within the last few months by an instance of injustice so glaring and undeniable, that it Las bectace 'Wulff . ) , mote notorious than any other 'cond. martial "Perhaps upon record.

The indignation ex pressed by all the organs of opinion which have yet broken silence upon the matter is something almost wholly unexampled. Journals advocating the opinions entertained by all political parties—every one of the organs of the law, and with these the several organs of the military and naval professions—all have coin cided in the opinion which we were the first to express publicly, namely, that if this officer has not been most cruelly ill-judged, then has no man ever groaned under ill-treatment since the subsidence of the Deluge or the dawn of Creation. Thanks, however, to that right noble sentiment which is harboured in the bosoms of our popular and hereditary representatives, the subject will at the very commencement of the next session be brought before a higher tribunal than that of either a naval or military court-martial, aye, before a higher tribunal than that of the Horse Guards or the Admi ralty, before the double tribunal of the two Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Then my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, then my Lord Duke the Commander-in-Chief, with all his congenial colleagues, will have to abide by the decision of those who are most competent in the wide realms of her Britannic MAJESTY'S dominions to decide what is in truth and in deed conduct becoming an officer and a gentleman. Of the result of this supreme investigation we have not one moment's doubt. We have not a doubt that a subject so plain and visible in its legality— a subject conducted, moreover, by the most formidable as well as the most brilliant members of the Lords and of the Commons—will receive that scrutiny which has be come requisite for the maintenance of the purity, the dignity, the nobility, the gallantry, and the elevated patriotism which are essential , to, and:have heretofore characterised, the leaders of our soldiers and of our sailors. Then will the existing system of courts martial not only be doomed, but destroyed—and in the abrogation of the present laws the national repu tation will be vindicated. There is a general and growing feeling throughout the country that no great or comprehensive legal re forms can be hoped for until the system of legislation is materially altered. This feeling has acquired ad ditional strength from the admirable letter of Lord B ROU GHAM to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, " of making and, digesting of the law," to which we havealready referred. His. Lordship has c learl y and distinctly shown that there is a fundamental imperfection in our whole course of legislation, by which the most valuable and best digested measures are depriVed of their efficacy and rendered comparatively useless, that leads to a looseness of language and contradiction of terms, which has so frequently been deplored by some of our most eminent judges, when compelled to frustrate the intentions of the Legislature by a too strict ad herence to the wording of new enactments. This imperfection is ascribable to defects in the machinery rather than in the principles of legis lation. The different statutes are the result of isolated and unconnected labours. The various measures are prepared by individual members or by parties connected with the Govern ment, but there is no communication between the framers of the several enactments. The " unity of design " that is so essential is completely wanting. One provision will be found to be perfectly incon sistent with another ; nay, portions of the very same clause or sentence will be conflicting. Each person has a particular object in view, and to attain that object everything else is disregarded. General prin ciples and former enactments are alike forgotten, and Bills are introduced in both Houses which, if suffered to pass in their original form, would occasion the utmost difficulty and confusion. But how could it be ; otherwise ? In every other science a long course of attentive study is considered necessary to qualify persons to form sound opinions, or to practise any art. But every man seems to con sider that he is born a legislator, competent to frame the most complicated enactments with the utmost facility. Under such circumstances grave mistakes in the drafting of Bills are looked upon as mere matters of course, that do not subject the introducers to any censure or reproach. There is, in fact, no responsibility anywhere. No individual or body can justly be called to account for any errors, however serious. It is scarcely better after the contemplated measure is brought before Parliament. Alterations will be made in both Houses without the slightest reference to the remainder of the Bill—new matter will be in troduced wholly at variance ssith former clauses, which are suffered to remain unchanged notwithstand ing subsequent so-called amendments. The sim plest rules are disregarded—the same words are used in different senses, the same points enacted in Different language. This laxity of expression neces sarily exposes the judicial interpreters of the law to the greatest embarrassment and difficulty, and occasions a vast quantity of expensive litigation, unnecessarily consuming the public time, and abso lutely ruinous to the parties engaged therein. But all this mischief results from the want of co-opera tion and communication between the legislators by whom the various Acts are framed and carried through Parliament. The country has dis covered to its cost the heavy expenditure to which it has been subjected in consequence of a similar want of co-operation between the designers of our steam-vessels and of the machinery by which these vessels are to be worked. The loss there is easily to be ascertained—the pounds, shillings, and pence that have been absolutely wasted form heavy items in the national balance•sheet. But the !oases not only to the national Exchequer but to pri vate individuals, the consequences of grave defects, by which criminals escape the punishment due to their crimes, and the grossest injustice is perpetrated under the name of law, can never be sufficiently appre ciated. They are of infinitely greater importance than any . merely pecuniary considerations or any public outlay, however enormous and unavailing. We have already alluded to the mode in which Lord BROUGHAM proposes to improve the system of legislation—viz., by the " appointment of, a board or court of five members, irremovable without address of both Houses, to which either House might refer any Bill, and whose opinion might be taken upon the draft of any Bill before its introduction." This would undoubtedly be a great amelioration, which would remove the chief objections : this board would, we suppose, consist of Members of both Houses, and be framed in accordance with the plan (alluded to in the postscript of Lord BROUGHAM'S letter) originally pro pounded in 1834, for the " appointment of a joint Committee of the two Houses, five Lords and seven Commons, sitting under a, judge, examining the whole disputed facts of a Bill, and returning, a verdict to he binding, in point of fact, on both Houses." The•mutual jealousy, however of the here ditary and representative legislators prevented this admirable suggestion from being carried into execu tion. Neither would consent to abandon any portion of their independent action, although they had several competent representatives on the General Committee. Most sincerely do we hope that this absurd distrust may terminate, and that a proposition may be adopted which would secure the most valuable results without in any degree trenching on the recognized privileges of either House. The Emperor of RUSSIA is so overjoyed by— the triumph of his arms we cannot call it—the result of his intervention in Hungary, that he can hardly' find adequate means to give vent to his satisfaction. To hear of the honours he has decreed to Prince PASICEWITCIT, and to read his proclamations to the army, it might reasonably be imagined that a new Pultowa had covered the Russian arms with glory, or that another French host had retreated from the flames of Moscow. "My children," writes this most fraternal EMPEROR, " Gon has vouchsafed to bless your zeal, your manly bravery, and your un tiring perseverance amidst the greatest difficulties." How complimentary is this to the Hungarians, if literally understood. The small forces of a weak and struggling state were enabled to present the " greatest difficulties" to the invading hosts of Russia and Austria combined, so much so that, notwithstanding the " manly bravery" so conspicuously displayed by the valiant troops; it was rot until bribery had come to the assistance of bravery, on the one hand, and treachery had undermined the difficulties, 'on the other, that file victory (?), the cause of so much gral. tultitiop, was achieved. "My children,7 .continues th EMPEROR, "you did your duty, and the insurrectio is quelled." Then, after a triumphant allusion LON DON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1849. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THI.DAY.I (13fute Mr. WiTii.►s, Chairman.) Martha 4tartin was indicted for stealing a 5/. note and two sovereigns of James Langh 7 .' The prosecutor, a seafaring man, had gone abroad With his ship since the pt:itener whs toteitted, and Was still ebnent, and the evidence against the prisoner was hat of one of the servants in a lodging-house in Stepney, where the alleged robbery took place. She stated that on the 31st of August, Mr. Langley was asleep in a chair in the kitchen; litti+ilig been drinking the night before, when the prisoner put her hands into his breast pocket, and took out of it a note-case, which she opened and extracted the 5/. note, and also took the two sovereigns from another pecker.

The prisoner's defence was that the prosecution was nstigated by "Black Bet" through spite, because she (the prisoner) wont.' ant ditidb The tiioney with her. Mr. L'Angley had desired her to take the money, for the service she had rendered him in the to o days previous, in going round with bim to several places in London and Greenwich. He had give her two sovereigns, and told her to take the note ont of his pecket';book& The Leained CuAiniiAN thought that in the absence of the prosecutor it would scarcely be safe to convict the prisoner upon th e unsup p or t e d evidence of the other woman, as there might be some truth in the prisoner statement The }tit' accordingly acquitted her. SURREY SESSIONS.THIS DAY.) (Before T. Potttth, Esq., and a 13eneh of Magiatrates.) ROBBERY 'illr A PaosfirrtrrE.—Anot Smith, a good looking young girl, was indict d for stealing the sum of 4L, from th Pikaba of genry Noakes, in 3t. titorgb% Southwark. The prosecutor deposed that he was a market-gardener, residing at Croydon, and on the 24th of August became to the Borough-market, to dispose of some property. In the evenin g he enjoyed a felt flours with Boitte triettis, and at ten o ' c l oc k left theiti to go home. When he got to the railway station he found the last train gone, and he was about to return to his friend's house when he met the prisoner. She asked him to treat her with some brandy, and he accompanied her to the White Hart public•house, While in her company he suddenly fell asleep, and on his waking up he discovered that the prisoner had decamped with all his money except a few shillings. He made inquiries of the landlady of the house, arid ascertained that she ran out of the house en hour after they entered. Information was given to the police, and it wus found that the prisoner had changed two sovereigns on the day after the robbery, and that she had exhibited two others. In defence the prisoner said the prosecutor was drunk, and had been with other women prior to his going with her. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, twelve months at Brixton. THE WEATIIEIt IN BIRMINGHAM.—WEDNESDAY EvENING.--Yesterday it commenced raining, and has continued without intermission, but without any injurious effects upon the health of the town. We find so many .deatbs returned in the London list from diarrhoea in; Birtniniham, bk . we cannot hear who they are that have. been carried off. The surgeons and physicians generally do not know of any such mortality. to the fact of the enemy having surrendered to Russia alone a side-thrust at the dearly beloved Austrian ally the proclamation con cludes with the following passionate outburst : " Honour and glory to you! Honour and glory to your victorious leader I You have again, as you always do, proved yourselves worthy of the name of the victorious army of all the Russias. My thanks to all and each of you! I am satisfied with you !! I am proud of you! ! !" Having thus exhausted all the eulogistic epithets at his command, the EMPEROR affixes his imperial signa ture to the document. They say that a royal speech is generally remarkable for its small amount of truth fulness ; but rarely, if ever, has a royal or imperial discourse or document equalled in the absurdity of its untruthfulness the last proclamation of NICHOLAS. It is, in fast, a sarcasm more cutting than any oppo nent could have contrived upon the result of the Hungarian campaign. If the valour of the Russian arms alone had really and indeed effected the subju gation of Hungary, however much we might lament the catastrophe, we could pardon the self-gratulations of the victors ; but, as it is !—as it is ! when we know that other influences than the sword and the bayonet have thinned the patriot ranks, the boastful exultation of the EMPEROR appears positively ridiculous. The conduct of the absolute Prince has recently been sufficiently characterised by its audacity and unrea sonableness, but this last act gives it the finishing touch. To congratulate soldiers on the " manly bravery " exhibited in an enterprise achieved by cor. ruption and treachery ! DELAY OF THE FOREIGN MAILS. —— - _ In consequence of the stormy weather which pre vailed last night. , throughout ,the channel, our, Paris journals and other foreign intelligence have been unexpectedly delayed. This must account for the meagre and abbreviatedicharaCter of the subjoined in formation relating to the countries of the European Continent.. • THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Very shortly before going to press we received the Paris journals of yesterday. Consequently, our glean ings from their contents must be unusually brief, be cause unusually rapid and cursory. • At the Council held on Tuesday, where it was de cided that there was no necessity for an early convo cation of the Assembly, the Ministers prevailed on the PRESIDERT to abandon his intention of returning to St. Cloud, where he has been for some time re siding. As to the prospect of the Empire in lieu of the Republic, the following paragraph will show what are the feelings of M. TRIERS : "The President," says the Constitutionnel, "was re ceived at Fontainbleau with demonstrations; if possible, more warm. Not only cries of Vire l'Empereur,' were heard, but cries of Vire la Famille Imperiale.' • Fon tainbleau is, •in fact, full of Imperial souvenirs. Everybody knows how Napoleon loved this place. To him the Chateau owes its principal em• bellishments. It was there he took refuge after his defeat; there may be seen the table on which he signed his abdication; there the flight of steps from which he bade adieu to his old soldiers. The acclama tions which followed the President proved that the in habitants of Fontainbleau possess heart and memory, and that they envelope the uncle and the nephew in the same sentiments of gratitude and respect." It was currently reported that the French Govern. ment had addressed a most determined note to the Camarilla at Gaeta. The Commission of Cardinals had threatened to quit Rome, and it was even said that Cardinal ALTIERI had left. Seven Socialists, who were arrested on Monday, the 27th ult., at an eating-house established by the Association of Cooks, were released from confinement on Tuesday. La Patrie confirms the report of the nomination of General :RArtnort to the command of the 'army in Rome. An absurd report that an offer of mediation had been made to the Pors by the Russian EAII'EROIC was afloat in Paris, but contradicted.

The General of the cavalry, PUCHNER, has been appointed second captain of th e I m p er i a l body-guard, as a mark of acknowledgment for his services in Transylvania. PRUSSIA. News from Berlin is to the 10th instant. The KING had returned from Toplitz, where he had paid a visit to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The KING was not accompanied during his journey by any of the Ministers. Letters from Leipsic stated there was every pros pect of the great fair being a good one, from the early influx of purchasers from foreign countries. THE HAGUE. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden paid a farewell visit to their Maaasties, and also to Prince FREDERICK, on the 11th instant.. His Royal Highness afterwards left the Hague for Rotterdam; thence he will proceed to. Antwerp, and go, by steamer, to Stockholm. His Royal Highness ex• pressed himself greatly delighted with his visit to the Hague. The French Minister for the Home Department has arrived here, and has had a long conference with our Minister for Foreign Affairs. Sir M. SHER, the English Ambassador at the Court of Sweden, has also arrived here. We hear that his MAJESTY has given orders for the establishment of a free school at Harderwyk, in Guelderland on the Zuyder Zee, for the board and instruction of young men, who are to be trained as sub officers in the Indian service. No youth will be allowed to sail for India who has not served two years as a subaltern at .Harderwyk, and given evidence of .hit ability. The subalterns who shall be placed in this school, and leave. it for India, shall continue their studies there, and after two years shall be appointed to th e rank of officers. Thus every youth who is admitted into the institution at Harderwyk will have the privilege of entering the East India service as officer within four years._... Dutch Papers, Sept. 12. SWITZERLAND.

Official advices from Warsaw, of the 4th, announce the capitulation of the fort Munkacs to the Russians. This occurred on, the,27th of August. The garrison surrendered at discretion to Lieutenant-General kAni.owitz: 22 officers and 329 soldiers of- the 91st Honvecl battalion have laid down their arms. In the castle were found 21 pieces of cannon, 620 muskets, ammunition, and stores of provender. ITALY. According to a later from Bologna, the Italian officers had broken their swords rather than sur render them. The Swiss alone had given up their arms. The Nazionale of Turin states from Rome, 3,1 inst., that a rumour was current of matters having been amicably settled between Gaeta, Rome, and Paris. A Consulta, a lay , Ministry, and lay little-, tionaries in the chief offices of the State, bad been consented to, with a reserve respecting the latter in favour of any prelate having the requisite qualities. A general amnesty, excepting - only the members of the Constituent Assembly, the Triumvirs, the chiefs, of clubs, all prefects, several other chiefs, &c., had also been agreed upon. The army, was to be in creased to 24,000 men. A letter from Chioggia of the sth inst. announces, 1 that a solemn mass was celebrated there to return thanks to the ALMIGHTY for having put an end to the calamities which oppressed Venice; the Bishop FERETTI officiated. A letter from Florence of the sth inst. states that the Austrian army is to continue to occupy Tuscany f,r a long time to come. A contract has been con cluded for supplying the Imperial troops with beds and blankets. The writer adds, that a severe law, regulating the press is being prepared by the Govern ment. THE WEST INDIES. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING —The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Reindeer, Captain Onslow, arrived here this morning from the West Indies, via St. Thomas, Bermuda, and Fayal. She brings no mails, passengers, cargo, or specie, and no later intelligence of importance than that received by the Dee. On the 24th of August the Reindeer spoke the French barque Prosper, from Porto Rico to Fal mouth ; on the 31st the Lancashire Witch ; and on the 11th passed the Bangalore in distress, with loss of rudder. _ _ The Royal Mail steamer Severn, with the rr.ails of the 2d of August, arrived at Bermuda on the 18th ult., and proceeded to the Gulf of Mexico. THE CHOLERA. FORM OF PRAYER. The following is a Special Form of Prayer to be used in all churches and chapels throughout those parts of the United Kingdom called England and Ireland, instead of the Prayer used during any time of common plague:or sickness, on Sunday, the 16th of September ; and to be continued during the pre valence of the Cholera in this country ; for obtaining pardon of our sins ; and, particularly, for beseeching God to remove from us that grievous disease with which many places in this kingdom are now visited : " 0 Almighty God and Father, whose power no creature is able to resist, and in whose hand are the issues of life and death: look down, we beseech thee, from Heaven, thy dwelling-place, upon us thine un worthy servants, who turn to thee, their only refuge, in this season of sickness and great mortality. We confess, 0 Lord, that we have not deserved to be free from that visitation of thy wrath, which has afflicted other nations of the earth. We acknowledge with shame and contrition that we have shown ourselves unthankful for many special mercies vouchsafed to us, and have not made that return for our national bles sings, which thou mighest justly require at our hands. We have departed from thy commandments; we have followed.too much the things of this present world; and in our prosperity we have not sufficiently honoured Thee, the Author and Giver of it all. If thou wert to deal with us after our sins, or reward us accord ing to our iniquities, we could not _stand in Thy sight._ " But Thou bast revealed Thyself unto us as a God of mercy and forgiveness, towards those who confess their unworthiness, and turn to Thee in repentance and prayer. When Israel had provoked Thee to wrath, and thousands fell by the destroying pestilence, Thou didst stay the sword of the avenging angel, when the purpose of Thy judgment was fulfilled. When the men of Nineveh repented of their ini qu i ty, thou didst lay aside the fierceness of thine anger, and sparedst the guilty city, when thou sawest that they turned from their evil way. " And now, 0 Lord, we entreat thee after thy rich mercy to grant unto us thine afflicted servants the like spirit of repentance, that thou may est withdraw thy chastisements from our land, and stay the plague and grievous sickness which is abroad, making many deso late. May the judgments which thou has sent, work in us a more lively faith, a more entire obedience, a more earnest endeavour to conform to thy will, and to advance thy glory. Make us duly sensible of thy goodness, in maintaining the domestic tranquillity of our land, in preserving us from intestine commotions, and in granting a plentiful return to the labours of our husbandmen. Teach us to show our thankfulness for these mercies, by an increasing desire to relieve distress, to remove all occasions of discontent and murmurings, and to promote goodwill and concord amongst our selves. And may the freqUentin4tances of mortality which we have beheld, remind us all of the nearness of death, and dispose us so to number our days, that we may apply our' hearts unto wisdom; that, whether living or dying, we may be found faithful disciples of Him who has taken away the sting of death, and opened the gate of everlasting life to all believers. " Hear us, 0 Lord, for Thy goodness is great ; and according to the multitude of Thy mercies receive these our petitions, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) HARRISON V. MARRIOTT. This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 15s. 6d. for board, lodging, etc., of defendant's brother. George Harrison, the father of the plaintiff, was called and proved that defendant's brother boarded and lodged with plaintiff, for which 15$. per week was charged. Utters wire put in showing that the defendant wished plaintiff to take his brother to teach him the trade of a cooper, but nothit g wag arranged as to the apprentice ship, as the brother was 17 years of age. A verdict V 1 RS given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. THE BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE COM• PANT V. PELLET AND OTTERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs to recover certain instalments due on an annuity deed granted by defendant, Pelley, and for,which the other bankrupts had become security. There was a further claim as damages for breach of contract in not keeping up a policy on the life of Pelley. Mr. Gover, the actuary of the company, was called, and proved that defendant Pelley granted the annuity to the company for money advanced, and that the two other defendants became security for the payment of the instalments, and the premium on a policy of insurance effected by Pelley for 2001. The instalments due on the annuity amount to Si. 155.,' and the damages through allowing the policy to lapse were estimated at 211. Gs. 4d. The UNDER SHERIF! asked what would have been the net profit to the company. Mr. Gover said they calculated en an average of lives and deaths extending over the eight years for which the assurance was effected, and the calculation was on the profits of the premiums, and that was the sum he stated. TherNnEa-SREam—But if he (Pelley) had died the company would have been the losers. Mr. Gover--Certainly, they would have had to pay 00i. The plaintiff's ATTORNEY said that they bad lost their security by the premium not being paid and the insurance lapsing. The UNDER SHERIFF said that there could be no doubt as to the instalment on the annuity, but the amount of damage was a question for the jurye Alter a short coumultation the jury garb a Verdict for the full ahlouht claimed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 5,000 bales, including 4,000 American and 300 Pcrnam and Marnham, at 50. to qd.; 100 Bahia at 5,1 d. to 5}1.; 200 Egyptian at 61d. to 70.; 250 Surat. at 4d. to 40.; and 100 Sea Island at 10e l. to ls. 2d. per lb. The imports since Friday last were 10,000 bales. The market . closed tamely, and in prices there was but little change.— Railway shares were dull, and generally at lower prices. The official returns of the sales of grain made in the markets which regulate the duties show a slight in crease. Wo are still without any news of the Hibernia steamer, from the United States, ,and much interest is felt for her arrival. The reports of the different stock markets abroad have been received in due course. At Berlin, on the 10th instant, the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds were quo ted 871. The market was rather unsteady, and foreign securities were heavy. At Frankfort, on the 10th instant, there was a moderate demand for the Mt tallies at 884. The Amsterdam market was very firm, though not animated, and the Two and a-Half per Cent. Dutch Stock was quoted 54k. The shares of the Society of Commerce were still in great favour, and Peruvian and Austrian Bonds were in demand. The Funds at Paris declined yesterday morning, but rallied afterwards, and left oft at 88t. , 40c. for the Five per Cents., and at 55f. 50c. for the Three per Cents. At Vienna on the Bth inst. the Me tallies were 984. Accounts from Venice give a desponding statement of the condition of that town. Its marine school is to be removed, and also the chief military command of the district will be taken to Trieste, but the naval com mand-in-chief is to be left. Since the termination of hostilities, no less than 50,000 passports are said to have been granted. We may take the opportunity, now the approach of the winter season reminds us - of the icy chain which will cut off the navigation of the St. Lawrence, to advert again to the many advantages of a railway through British America, and although unfortunately the exist iug.political excitement will operate as a check upon the carrying out of such an undertaking, it must ere long be executed, The • official investiga tion upon this subject has proved that a railway from Shediac to the Port of St. John, which is open at all seasons of the year, would enable the various products of the fisheries to reach a port of ship ment in four hours, and the necessity for the long voyage around Nova Scotia would be obviated. The fishing vessels could winter at any of the ports on the Gulf shore which they found most convenient; their stores and outfit could be sent up by railway, and they would, in such case, enjoy the advantage of being on the fishing grounds at the earliest moment in spring, and the fishermaii could protract his labours until the winter again had fairly set in. Tho fresh salmon packed in ice which were sent last season from St. John's to Boston by the steamers, - owing to the facilities of transport in the United States, in twot days after they left St. John's, appeared at table in prime condition at Albany, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, New York, and Philadelphia. If the salmon of the northern rivers could be transported by railway to St. John's, they would find a ready market in the numerous towns and villages of the United States, and the salmon fisheries alone would prove a perfect mine of wealth to the northern part of the province. Aided by railways the fisheries of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, now of so little importance, and such limited value, would take rank as one of the highest privileges of New Brunswick, its unfailing source,of wealth for ever hereafter. And while the efforts of the people were successfully directed towards securing these bounties df Providence, lavished" with such unsparing hand, they- would rejoice in the gooduees of an all-wise Creator. The French exercise an almost exclusive right of fish ing upon the western coast of Newfoundland, the ferti lity and great mineral wealth"of which have only recently become known, and are not yet folly appreciated. From seven hundred to eight hundred sail of American fishing vessels enter the Gulf of Saint Lawrence annually, anil !"tattering over the whole of its wide extent, with little heed of the limitts to which they are restricted by treat s', pursue their bwiness unm"lested, and but rarely leave their stations without full and valuable fares. There has been a very flat market for Public Securities this morning, and yet it is difficult to assign any n4v and special cause beyond the heavy tone of the Par s Bourse, and the fact that th e C onso l ac co u nt h as b e arranged, and the Bulls having lost money, are i - disposed just now to renew operations. Many have 1 t Par town, others look with apprehension to forei g n loans, a Neapolitan contract having been already taken, s is said, and the prospect of greater activity in trade induces the belief in some quarters that the Funds will rule v e ry littl e a b ove , if Ilk under, the current prices for some time to come. Vile can scarcely form a conclusion at present, and may mote reasonably await the dividend payments. Consols ha4e been 924 4, and are now 924 4 for Transfer, while ti me bargains have been effected at 924 4, and since at 124 4. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 931 to 94. Exchequer bills have been 355. to 385., and India Bonds 71s. to 755. premium, the former con tinuing depressed. The Foreign Market has been very quiet. Mexico,. 211 to 28. Peruvian Active, 54 to 4. Portuguese Five per Cent.

Caledonian, North- Western, Midland, Great Western, and South-Eastern, are decidedly lower. Eastern Counties are much the same, and also the French shares. En UNII4 per Cent.
