GLOBE.—Any pretender will find reception from the party in power, and its organs, who will find impu dence to enact the " deleg a te," an d abuse the man:t• factoring interest. That is the Open &same to Downing -street, and Printing-house-square. That is the one thing needful to turn any convicted cheat into the Tory oracle, the quoted authority of the day on Trade, Labour, and Poor-laws. The great systems of our manufactures and commerce — the main employers of our town industry—oc cupy the position, as it were, of prisoners at the Tory bar , — while any disgraced itinerant, any unjust steward," whose private malversations have left him the " liberty of the gaol' to instruct the publo, any door keeper of a dispersed Jacobin Club, any Socialist prc pagator of anarchy and immorality on system—as cends the witness-box, delivers himself of . whet ever stile falsehood, or fresh crudity, may come upper most in his wretched mind—and commands, in the colu,nos of the organs of Power, ample room and verge enough for whatever his mouth may have left un uttered. These are the tit Titus Oateses of Anti-Manu facturing and Anti-Commercial Policy. Manufac turers and Merchants !—you see their agency encou raged systematically. You see their denunciations of yourselves as the gorged tyrants of the nation (you, alas !—struggling to keep your heads, and the hands employed by you, above water—you, alas ;—victims, like your workpeople, of the Old man of the Land) — you see these Titus teates-like ravings transferred with alacrity to the Times and Standard from the proper and natural obscurity in which the public would otherwise leave them. You see all this—Conservative merit of capital and enterprise —can you doubt what it means ? Can you doubt the rabid state of the minds to which this virulence is welcome food ? Can you doubt the fire 1 intention to injure you on the part of those who suborn and spread it all ? Can you doubt that they feel they have injured you by their policy of monopoly—that they mean to persist in injuring you—and that they aid in getting up these clamours against the factories —simply because they cannot en tirely stifle the consciousness that they are drying up 'the source of our manufacturing and commercial pros. perity—and because they :neon toitifle, in the ears of others, the cries of their victims. We tell this dis honest pack—whether in public offices, or newspaper ones, or Socialist conventicler—whether in durance vile, or unwhipped of justice—that all their revived ' efforts come a day too late. It seems to be forgotten that we have had a!1 this before!—that no worthless clamour can succeed with the same public twice—that the old Sadler and Ten Hours' Bill blaze won't make a house-warming for the new Ministry, STANDARD.—" The position of the Tory (Con servative) press is ridiculous enough. They dare not be silent, and yet what can they say ? Of S r Robert Peel's intentions they appear to know about as much as they do of the intentions of the Emperor of China." Such - are the terms in which our state - is com passioneted ..by .a Whig-Radical Contemporary. That we have liitic new to say of the intentions of the Go vernment:es true. These intentions were however, pr e tty candidly diselqted by the Prime Minister him sell during the • Test session, as far as concerns their general _direction. If he had any secrets he kept them very successfully; and it would not consist with wisdom, having kept theta so long, to communicate them now to us of the press, whose province it certainly is not to guard very faithfully such hidden deposits. Se. R. Pc( I has plainly told the country' upon what principles he proposes to carry on the Government, namely, by protecting equally and impartia ly all existing interests and institutions, as far as can be consistent with the national prosperity and progress ; and the country has testified its full satisfaction with this expla nation by recovered confidence, and a consequently im proving revenue. It is very natural for the organs of an Administration that lived for more than ten years upon ." enormous lying," and upon success:Ye " clap traps," to appreciate the inconvenience to which we are ex posed in the service of men too honest and too wise to deal in mysteries and coups d'etat ; just as one can fancy the contemptuous commiseration with , which a Davos looked upon the hum-drum life of his old master's more faithful domestics. But inconvenient as it must be to lively spirits to fulfil the every day duties of an honest service, it suits very well with that phlegmatic temrserament which disposes men to prudence and to Conservatism. We are conteated to set off the blessings of peace and security, which w e enjoy, against the professional gain of publishing in advance an almanack of violent revolutions ; and our Contemporaries who were in the favour of the late Government ou;ht in reason to remember that they bole themselves exhausted the spring of this latter source of gain. It is about eight years since Lord Brougham said, " We have dene much in the last year, and therefore we shall do little in this, and still less in the year following." But the diminishing series must surely approach to nil at the end of eight annual stages, and at the end of the eighth stage we have arrived. COURIER.—It is not without satisfaction we per ceive the Times returning from its first unsound and hasty judgment on the point of state etiquette now in controversy between the Ambassador of Louis Phi lippe and the 'Regent of Spain. The pretension in the first place set up by, or for, Espartero, exclu sively to regulate the ceremonial to be observed in the intercourse between the -Court of Madrid and the representatives of sovereign power duly accredited to it, is manifestly untenable, and would be really ab surd, if not arrogant, but for the one precedent in his favour afforded by the course pursued during the preceding Regency on a similar presentation of letters of credence. The French Ambassador of that day, as is known, made no hesitation in placing his credentials at once into the hands of Queen Regent Maria Christina, and so far, as succeeding to her po litical power, Regent Espartero would seem entitled to claim, as of right, the same act of deference and acknowledgment. But the analogy thus existing is qualified or destroyed by other accompanying incidents, which separate the two cases by a sufficiently broad and distinguishing margin. For Maria. Christina has been Queen Consort, Queen Sovereign, in fact,herself, and she stood in the situation not only of Queen Regent, but. of Queen Mother and Guardian to the young Isabella. Es partero occupies, however, one only of these positions, for though Regent, he is not even tutor to the Queen, nor has he custody of the Royal person, a charge with which, 03 is well known, Senor Agustin Arguelles is specially invested. The precedent of Maria Christina, therefore, will not serve the turn of Espartero, for she could claim, not Rs Regent merely, but as Guardian and Queee-Mother ; not as of right to the political re presentation of the juvenile Sovereign alone, but to the persona) representation. In her person the right as cx eirtate efficie was, therefore, much more complete, if not absolute. AMERICAN NEWS. (Further Extracts from the American Papers.) MUTINY IN THE CREOLE SLAVER. (From the New Orleans Picapeue.) FURTHER PARTICULARS.--At nine o'clock at night the slaves commenced the attack by shooting Mr. Goddard, the mate, in charge of the deck, with a pistol. The ball slightly wounded him in the back of the head. lie made for the cabin, and ove the alarm to the captain and passengers, who had " turned in," The negroes camo forward, obtructcd the passage from the cabin, exclaiming, " We've got 'en), kill ietn as they come out.' Mr. God- dard fist rushed out, and. although bruised with clubs and str..bbed in one or two places, reac h e d t h e ina;rl l i v i n g, and took fefuge in the maintop. Capt. Enson followed, and said he was badly sta bb e d , and thought he was dying. Soon - after he fainted, and the mate made him fas t to the ri gg in g. A desp erate affray took place on deck. Mr. Howell, a passenger, killed one negro with a musket, and fought afterwards like a tiger until he was killed. Several or the sailors fought bravely until they were completely overpowered. The captain and mate remained in the maintop until about five o'clock in the morning . , when they were first discovered. The ringleaders then ordered them to come down or they would shoot them. Mr. Goddard descended and told them he was at their disposal. One of them ressnted a musket to his breast, and he was informed he must tato them to an English island, or they would shoot him. He finally assented, and shaped the course of the vessel toward New Providence.— Two of the sailors were able to assist him, the others had all been badly wounded in the conflict. In the morning the captain was taken down, and, with the second mate, Mr. Stevens, the captain's wife, his daughter, four years old, niece, fifteen years old, and one of the passengers, confined in ,he foreeold. In the course of the night the slaves had rifled the vessel, broken open all the trunks and decked themselves out in such clothing as they could find. Alter the arrival of the Creole at Nossau, the slaves acknowledged that a Baptist minister at Norfolk, named Bourne, had advised them with regard to their course, and given them directions how to proceed. Mr. God dard learned at Nassau that Bourne had formerly re sided there, and bad absconded, leaving his family. He is an Englishman, and about 40 years of age. Forty of the slaves on the Creole were owned by Thomas M'Cargo, of Richmond ; the balance belong ing to Johnson and Eperson. Mr. Howell was the agent of M'Cargo, and was well known in this city. Three of the slaves were killed in the affray, and an- other died of his wounds after his arrival at Nassau. Five more—four females and a boy—refused to accept their freedom, and came to this port in the Creole It is worthy of remark that a dog belonging to the Cap tain fought furiously against the negroes, and bit several of them seriously. He was finally killed. • We have some interesting particulars in relation to the conduct of the British authorities at Nassau.— That the entire scheme was resolved upon before the brig left Richmond, is evident from the fact that the negroes boasted at Nassau that they expected to en counter the brigs Long Island and Orleans, which sailed from Richmond in company with the Creole, with cargoes of slaves. Both of these vessels, however, are safe in port. A full investigation of thia cate, we doubt not, will present some very strange developements. (From the Richmond Compiler.) THE MUTINY ON BOARD THE CREOLE. — We have ascertained that the whole hf the slave property on board the Creole was insured in New Orleans. The following is the list of owners, with the amounts of in surance, cad she names of the offices where effected : Thos. M'Cargo, in the Orleans Ins. Co 520,800 Ditto ditto ditto Merchants' ditto Lumpkin and Lockett, Firemans' ditto 20,000 Ditto ditto ditto Merchant' ditto Johnson and Adperson, Ocean, " ditto 16,000 John Hagan, ditto ditto 6,200 Charles Hatcher, ditto ditto 3,300 The following are the transcripts from the policies of insurance issued from each office, sums and numbers omitted : (From the Ocean's Policy.) " Our slaves valued as per list attached to applica tion $-- against all risks, and chiefly against that of foreign interference ; warranted free from elopement, insurrection, and natural death.." FIREMAN'S POLICY. " On - slaves, names and ages as per application. The assurers are not liable for suicide, natural death, desertion or mutiny ; but to take the risk of interfer enco by Foreign Governments or theia agents." MERCHANTS' POLICY. " The company not liable for suicide, desertion or natural death ; but liable for suicide, desertion or natu ral death ; but liable for risk or emancipation, detention or seizure by Foreign Powers." The Companies have refused to pay in each case. Three or four of the most distinguished legal gentlemen in New Orleans have offered to undertake the conduct of suits against them for .5 per cent., if the money shall be recovered, or nothing if unsuccessful. This would indicate that they think something of the chances ; but really, the prospect based on the above extracts looks at least very doubtful. From the Second Edition of the Albany Advertiser. MONDAY, 7 O'CLOCK, A. M.—The snow storm of Thursday and Friday last, seems to have been one of the most severe and extensive storms on record. In all directions the usual avenues of communication were blocked up, and for several days we have suf fered in this city from an almost universal dearth of news. Thus, up to seven o'clock this morning, we had nothing later from New York than the papers of the Wednesday evening previ ous—while from the West our latest Buffalo dates were only up to Tuesday, and Rochester of Wednes day. The Eastern mails, however, fared rather bet ter ; those from Boston having been delayed but a few hours, while the Hartford papers brought us our earliest advices from the South. The steamer De Witt Clinton, which left New York with pas sengers and the mails on Thursday evening, met the storm lin Newburgh Bay, and was compelled by its violence to anchor and remain there during the night of Thursday, and the greater part of the following day. The land mail from Hudson, which left th a t c ity on Saturday m o r n i ng , an d was due here the same evening, did not reach here until the afternoon of Sunday ; the- snow-drifts along the road rendering them almost im passably.' On the west side of the river similar ob stacles delayed the Catskill mail until late at night, the driver being compelled to dig a road throagh the snow. PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 2 1, r.M.—We have bad another most inclement day, with a north-easterly wind, and a constant drizzling rain, just sufficient to keep the pavements glazed with ice, rendering it extremely diffi cult, as well us dangerous, walking in any part of the street. (From the Savannah Republican, Dec.l6.) FROM FLORIDA.—Thirty-seven Creek Indians have come in at Fort Waccahoota, and these Creeks promise to bring in the remainder of that tribe under their Chief Octaoosie. Eighteen Mickasuckies have been heard from, who say that they are determined to fight it out to the last. The Mickasuckies have killed two Creeks sent to negotiate with them, These particulars may be partially incorrect, but they arc in the main true, as they were given by an officer to a passenger on board of the steamboat General Clinch, arrived at this port yesterday, on the ever of her departure from Palatka, an express having just arrived from the interior. FROM MExlco.—Th• following information is con sidered by some of the New Orleans papers as Un ions, but by others as truh, the captured party being supposed by them to be a foraging party detached from the main body of the Texian forces at or near Senta Fe. SANTA FE EXPEDITION.—Havannah papers to the 22d ult., containing accounts from the Mexican capital to the 7th of the month, have been received at New Orleans. The item of the most interest in them is the following account of the capture of the Texian Santa Fe ,Expedition by the Mexicans : VERA CRUZ, OCT. 20 our paper of yesterday we had the mortification to announce that the Texian forces bad occuped the city of Santa Fe ; but to-day we have the extreme pleasure ot publishing an occount of their entire defeat. A supplement of El Sigla X IX, received yesterday, gives the following : " VILLA DB PASSO, SEPT. 28.—T0 the Chief in command of the district.—Excellent Sir—Vive la Patria ! The Texians have been conquered. Don Paine Salazar, Captain of the first company of Santa Fe, bas just reported,himself to me, bearing dispatches for your Excellency and the Supreme Government, and he com municated to me that 100 men, composing the van guard of the. Texians, have been mad e prisoners, and came in guarded by 1,200 men. With the warmest effusions of my heart, I congratulate your Excellency and the nation on this auspicious event.

There was rather less animation in the market yes terday than on the two preceding Tuesdays ; and those spinners and manufacturers, who had de manded further advances last week, were gener ally content to accept the prices which were then offered but refused. The market, however, is toler ably steady, both in goods and yarn, at a trifling ad vance upon the extreme low rates current about a month ago. In reference to a statement, which ap peared in tke Gulrdian of Wednesday last, on the ex port of cotton goiras and yarn to China, we have been favOured by a mercantile house in this town with a statement of the amount of those exports, as compared with that of the preceding year ; from which it ap pears that, in 1841, of white cottons shipped to China, there were 23,436 packages, the declared value of which was 771 3 5894 ; and, in-1840, 21,284 packages ; declared value, 684,2611. ; increase in 1841, declared value, 87,3281.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MAREET, MONDAY, JAN. 10. —To-day vcing the new market, there has been a nu merous attendance, but not a proportionate quantity of business transacted. Prices yet remain low. In the wool market there is nothing new to report. RESIGNATION OF MR. JUSTICE BOSAN QIIET.--Mr. Justice Bosanquet, in consequence of conti nued ill health, has sent in his resignation to the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship's successor, as one of the Judges of the Common Pleas, is not yet known. In Westminster-hall, this morning, Mr. Serjeant Merewe ther, Mr. Law (Recorder of London), and Mr. Serjeant Goulburn, are each mentioned as likely to be raised to the Bench. THE NEW POOR.LAW.—The Poor-law Corn missioners have for some time past been in almost con stant communication with the Home-office, and scarcel:, a day passes without one of the Commissioners havin/ an interview with Sir James Graham. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had a long interview with Sir James Graham at the Home Office this morning. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 11. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF DOVER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule obtained in this case, which called upon the Commissioners for lighting and paving the borough of Dover, why the rule obtained in May, 1840, and the several other orders made in the-. cause should not be discharged with costs, and why the prosecutors should not pay the cost of the present application. It would appear that the prosecutors in the rule were the Com missioners under a Local Act for paving and lighting the town of Dover, and in November, 1840, an application was , made by them to the Court of Queen's Bencfi against certain Justices of the borough to show cause why a mandamus should. not issue, directed to them, and commanding them . to admininister an oath to the collector of rates, and issue .their warrant to authorise the levying of a distress. A person named Weston, who was the proprietor of certain houses in a part of the town called Wellington-crescent, was of opinion that he was not liable to the rates au thorised to be levied under 'the Local Act, on the ground that the street was macadamized and not paved, and for other reasons. , On hearing the ar guments of Counsel, when the rule was moved for, their Lordships directed the rule to be enlarged, and if an indemnity were given to the Magistrates that they should issue their warrant, and then the rule was to be discharged with costs. The pre - sent application was, that that rule should be discharged, the costs being paid by the prosecutors, and he would be enabled to show that the Magistrates had not acted altogether fairly towards the Commissioners, and that. their clerk was acting as the attorney of Mr. Weston, the party against whom the Commissioners were proceeding. The Learned Counsel having entered at some length into the details of the case, which have been already stated when the rule was moved for, submitted that the Commissioners could not be fairly held liable for the expenses of the application to that Court. The Commissioners were public officers, acting in the discharge of a public duty, under the provisions ofan 'Act of Parliament. Mr. Justice PATTESON inquired what had become of the rule for the mandamus. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the rule was enlarged by order of the Court, and still so remained. It would appear that after the indemnity had been given to the Justices, Mr. 'Weston, through the'Clerk of the Justices, who,acted as his attorney, paid the rate claimed by the Commissioners, and the terms of their Lordship's order to administer an oath to the collector, and issue their warrant, had not therefore been complied with. On these grounds he submitted that the rule ought to be discharged. . Mr. RICHARDS was proceeding to address the Court in support of the rule, when Lord DENHAM said the Court would not trouble him, as they were of opinion that the condition upon which the rule had been enlarged, and which entitled the de fendants to costs, had been substantially complied with. —Rule absolute. THE QUEEN V. THE LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. TIIESIGER had been instructed on behalf of Messrs. Slee, Payne, and Slee, vinegar -manufacturers, Bermondsey, to apply to the Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the defendants; and commanding them to apply to the Sheriff of Surrey to issue his precept, and empannel a jury to assess damages chine to their premises by reason of the construction of the railway. The railway was constructed under the provisions of the 3d William IV., chap. 46, and. in . it the .claimants' premises were scheduled. In consequence of a deviation from the ori ginal line, the premises were not interfered with, but it was .subsequently found necessary to widen the line, by which the claimants' premises were injuriously affected. The Learned Counsel having referred to the provisions of the Act, which he submitted included the present case, the Court granted a rule. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. THE 11. V. HENRY CLEVELAND. Mr. ERLE had been instructed, on behalf of Lord Fitz hardinge, to move for a rule to show cause why a cri minal information should not be filed against the Rev. Henry Cleveland, Rector of Barkston, in the county of Lincoln, for a libel. The affidavit of Lord Fitzhardinge stated that he was advanced to the dignity of an Earl, which appeared in the Gazette of the 13th of August last, and on the 27th of August there appeared a letter, signed 11 Junius," and addressed to the Queen, ex pressing feelings of the deepest anguish in having read in the Gazette the names of the parties on whom these dignities had been conferred. It then went on to state the seduction of a young lady at Bristol, under peculiarly aggravated circumstances—the death of the young lady and her widowed mother, and imputing it to one of these parties—observing that such were the persons upon whom the Queen, an English lady and mother, had been advised, by the persons by whom she was surrounded, to advance to the English Peerage. Lord Fitzhardinge, considering that as his residence of Berkeley Castle, at Clifton, was not far from Bristol (the seduction being alleged to have taken place at Clifton), addressed a letter to the Editor, calling on him to name the person against whom the charge was intended to be 'made;* and stating that if he was the party meant no legal proceedings would be taken against the author, provided the charge could be substantiated, but, on the contrary, every facility would be given for that pur pose. That letter was published in the Morning Herald, with some comments by the Editor. On the 10th of September, Lord Fitzhardinge,, being at Berkeley Castle received a letter through the General Post, bearing the Grantham post-mark, and signed " Philo Junius." It was addressed to Lord Ifiphardinge, and charged him with having been born and liked in infamy, with being a cold calculating debauchee, constant only in crime, and destitute of every semblance of propriety ; asked him how dare he presume so far on public for bearance as to come forward in so conspicuous a manner —that the writer knew him well, and if he proceeded to any krther overt acts he would hold him up to public scorn, as. the vilest miscreant that ever breathed. It also advised him to go and pour out his griefs to his congenial friends, Lords Melbourne, Palmerston, and Headfort, who would advise him to be quiet, it being " better to bear those ills we know of, than fly to those we know not of." He (Mr. Erle) had the affidavits of Mr. Clarke, a solicitor, of Mr. G. Really, and another person who were acquainted with the hand-writing of the de fendant, who resided near Grantham, and that they verily believed that the letter was in hia hand-writing. The Court granted the rule. LIBEL—THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETOR AND PRINTER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had been instructed, on behalf of Mr. Grove, a police Magistrate of Greenwich, to apply to the Court for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the de fendants for a libel. The article of which the applicant complained appeared in the Sunday Times, Nov. 21, and imputed to Mr. Grove the grossest possible misconduct in his capacity of a 31aoistrate, and which, if true, would 0 . render him unfit to hold such an office. The publication having attracted the attention of the authorities, an application was made to Mr. Grove, who gave a satisfac tory explanation, and intimated his intention of applying I . to the Court of Queen's Bench on the subject. The Learned Counsel then read the article, which charged Mr. Grove with having directed the removal of a poor woman near her confinement, which had occasioned the death of her child, and had nearly cost herself her life. The affidavit of Mr. Grove and his clerk, which went at some length into a detail of the case, denied every one of the charges made against him: The Court granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL. Mr. Duraus moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directed to her Majesty's Postmaster-General, or the proper officer under him, commanding him to deliver up all letters that would come into his custody directed to Arthur Strachan and Co., to the interim factor; a: person who filled in Scot land an office similar to that of the English official as signee. The firm of Strachan and Co. had become bankrupts, and the interim factor was anxious that cer tain expected remittances to the bankrupts might be placed in his hands for the benefit of the estate. After referring to the Act of Parliament, The COURT refused the rule, unless Mr. Dundas could find some authority upon the subject. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 1 1. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. KINGSTON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL wished to make a short motion in the above case. The late Act of Parliament, which took from the Court of Exchequer its equitable jurisdiction, was so worded as to admit of "very consi derable doubt with regard_ to its meaning, and whether it had, in fact, taken away the equity jurisdiction of the Court in revenue causes The cause in which he now moved was pending before the Court when the new Act came into full operation: An information had been filed against the defendant, to which he had demurred. When the Act came into operation the record and demurrer were handed over to the officers of the Court of Chan cery along with all other-equity matters, and it had been directed by the Lord Chancellor to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Bruce. He (the Attorney-General) had that morning applied to his Lordship to re store the record to the Court of Exchequer, and his Lordship had no objection that it should be considered by their Lordships. The real question to be considered was, whether, by the new Act, the equity jurisdiction of the Court in revenue 'ratters ) had been removed to the Court of Chancery. Lord ADINGER—I know nothing of die matter. I was THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1842. not at all consulted on it ; and I considered it was in such good hands that I did not interfere. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL — The language of the Act was not very clear ; his motion was made in order to raise the question, and he thought it could be much more conveniently done in that Court than in the Court of Chancery. His motion would be for a rule to show cause why the cause should not be set down for argu ment in their Lordships' paper ; for he contended that the record had been given up to the Court of Chancery by a mistake, and that it ought to be restored. Lord ADINGEA—The first decision upon such a case ought to be made by the Lord Chancellor. Why should we be called upon to decide a case in which we might appear to be stretching our own jurisdiction. The Lord Chancellor was perfectly competent to construe any Act of Parliament ; he had experience in both Courts. They would bow with deference to his decision, but they were at present of opinion that all their jurisdiction had ceased. However, if the Lord Chancellor sent back the record, they would deal with it.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 11 EDWARDS V. LORD GLENGALL. This was an action upon certain bills of exchange, drawn by the defendant. The cause was set down for trial by special jury, in the sittings of last term. In consequence of the non-performance of a peremptory undertaking on the part of the plaintiff, in which the trial was postponed, Mr. Sergeant Bompas obtained a rule absolute for a nonsuit. But on the subsequ s ent ap plication of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd (upon affidavits that plaintiff had not been able to find out some necessary witnesses and obtain the attendance of others from the Continent), the rule for a nonsuit was withdrawn, and a rule nisi given for tho trial of the cause this term. ARCHES' COURT—Jan. 11. This being the first doy of Hilary Term, tho Eccle siastical Courts were opened with the usual forms. HARRISON V•. HARRISON. This was originally a suit for nullity of marriage by the wife against the husband in the Consistory Court, against the decision of which an appeal is now entered. In the course• of the proceedings in the Court below a decree was issued, directing the husband to appear for a certain purpose. This decree he disobeyed, and he was pronounced in contempt ; but the case was still allowed to go on, the arguments were heard, and judgment was pronounced in favour of. the wife's pr7yer for nullity. Against that definitive sentence this appeal is brought by Mr. Harrison ; but for his wife, it is contended, that a " verus contempt " has no right of appeal .against a definitive sentence pronounced during his contumacy in an inferior Court. On this point of law a lOng argument took place. The COURT postponed its decision. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 10. IN RE MILES AND HADDON. This day being appeinted for the final examination of the bankrupts, who carried on a very extensive• business as sugar-bakers and refiners, a number of creditors were in attendance. The bankrupt Miles was subjected to a long examina tion. The Commissioner ordered the case to be further adjourned, in order that the special balance-sheet might be amended ? and some further inquiries made concerning the disposition of certain property. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 11. IN RE EDWARD WALI3Y SALOMONSON. The insolvent in this ease was a stock-jobber, and had dealt very extensively in what is called " time bargains." He had become a bankrupt in the year 1837, and his present debts and liabilities amounted to 20,487/. He was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of Louis Stichest, a German tailor, . carrying on business in Argyle-street, Regent -street, on the grounds of having fraudulently contracted a debt of 70/. without any rea sonable .expectation of payin g it. The insolvent was remanded until he should prepare a fresh balance sheet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MiINBIOA-HO USE. Captain Fife, who is in the employment of the Gene ral Steam Navigation Company - , appeared upon a sum mons to answer, touching a deficiency in tour chests of indigo, which were on the 21st of December last shipped in the Ocean steamer by Messrs. Schaezler and Co. of London, and consigned to Messrs. L. Meyer, and Co., Rotterdam.—Sir P. LAURIE adjudicated. The Bavarian Consul appeared, not against, but to question the Captain of the Ocean, and the case excited a great deal of attention. Upon the part of Messrs. Schaezler, it was stated that there had been shipped for Rotterdam, in the Ocean, four chests of indigo, which were weighed before and after they were eased for shipping; in order to make all secure against plunder, a wrapper, with nails and other secu rities was placed upon each chest by the shipping agent, Mr. Williams, who paid every attention to she subject. A very considerable deficiency, however, took place in the weight of the chests after their arrival at Rotterdam. Now the complaint of deficient weight had been made by a great number of merchants, and it was in vain that they represented the matter to the officers of the General Steam Navigation Company. They therefore determined to introduce the subject • at the Mansion-house, in order to have it publicly investigated and exposed. Sir. P. LAURIE asked`whether any suspicions were en tertained before the present case was brought to the notice of the complainant. The Bavarian Consul, stated that several complaints had been made respecting deficiencies in the weight of indigo sent from England to Rotterdam. It was rather singular, he observed, that when the merchants shipped goods by the Batavier: for Rotterdam, ,no deficiency whatever took place. The complainants upon the pre sent occasion were 'amongst the largest shippers of in digo in London, and they of course felt strongly upon the subject. Sir P. LAURIE—Thig is a serious charge, but I do not exactly know against whom it is. Is it against the Cap tain or against the . General Steam Navigation Company? The Bavarian Consul—l cannot say that it is against • either. The complaint is made in order to arrive at the merits of this case, for the purpose of redressing a but it is in vain we haveserious ap p e i v i i e d l . the e e u p s e n i r6coto party,rDirectors ot the Steam Navig a ti on to I Company. We could get no explanation of the matter from them. Sir P. LAURIE—You must prove to me the deficiency, in order to enable me to act. The Bavarian Consul stated, that in the particular in stance of the charge before the Magistrate ' a deficiency of 61 pounds weight was ascertained in three chests,of indigo. which was calculated to be worth ss. a pound. One of the partners in the house of Messrs. Schaezler and Co. stated that it had, beyond a doubt, been ascer tained that the deficiency alluded to had taken place. Witness complained of the deficiency to the Directors of the General Steam Navigation Company, and saw Mr. Brocklebank the Chairman, who said that all the neces sary inquiries should be made. No information, how ever, had been collected, and witness stated that if those who were interested in the matter were kept in the dark, an application should be made to the Lord Mayor for a summons, in order to hare the affair sifted. The house subsequently received a letter from the General Steam Navigation Company, stating, in fact, nothing. Sir P. LAURIE—The letter must h ave sa id somet hi ng . What was it?—The witness said the letter stated that Captain Fife declared that ho had stowed the indigo away under the cabin floor in such a manner that it was impossible for any of the crew to get at it. Mr. Pearce, the solicitor to the General Steam'Naviga tion Company, observed that the very statement in the letter, which was described by the witness as being no thing, appeared to him to be very important indeed, in asmuch as it showed that.the- chests were not plundered on board the steamer. The Bavarian Consul said it was known that when the Ocean steamer arrived at Rotterdam the goods on board were, without the supervision of any body, thrown into a lighter, and left there until the consignee pleased to send for them. Mr. Pearce said the admission just made showed that whatever mischief was done was done without the know ledge or responsibility of the Company. The question before Sir Peter Laurie did not affect the legal respon , - sibility of the parties, and Captain Fife was present to prove that the greatest care had been taken to protect the property. He supposed there 'would be no objec tion to, take the evidence of the Captain. The Bavarian Consul Said there' could not be the slightest. There was, it should be distinctly understood, no charge whatever against the Captain. Captain Fife swore he saw the indigo stowed away in such a manner as to be completely secure. Sir I'. ,LAURIE—Had any of the crew access to the chests ? Captain Fife—Certainly not ;it was quite im possible any one could have access to them. The hatches were loel_ed up from the moment they were shipped until they arrived at Rotterdam. Mr. Pearce said that quite enough had been stated to prove that the Captain and the Company were dis charged from all criminal responsibility. What had taken place in the vessel was quite sutficieat to show that 'they were completely exonerated. Sir PETER LAURIE said it appeared to him that all that had taken place on board the vessel was unobjec tionable ; but in the lighter, which seemed to him to be a floating warehouse, there might not be the same sort of security. He wished to know who employed the lighter ?—The witness replied that the agents at Rot terdam employed the lighter. Sir PETER LAURIE desired that some other case should be brought before him. Mr. Robert Lewis Surdot, of S. Helen's-place, stated that in the middle of November; he shipped some chests of indigo to Rotterdam, by the Columbine, another of the steam-vessels belonging to the General Steam Navi gation Company. On the arrival of the vessel at Rot terdam, one of the chests was 15 or 18 lbs weight defi cient. The chest had come from the St. Katherine. Docks, and Sir John Hall, when he heard of the defi ciency, desired that it should be brought back, and stated that if it appeared that some unfair weans had been resorted to at the docks to account for the deficiency, he should make,good the deficiency and pay all the ex penses. The chest was brought back accordingly and examined, and it was found that the wrapper was cut and the chest had been forced open, and that the chest had been sewed up with twine, which - Sir John Hall found was foreign twine. Whether the mischief had been done in the steamer or at Rotterdam could not be ascertained, but no such thing had taken place on board the tatavier, which was in the habit of unloading into a warehouse, which was properly superintended. It seemed, therefore, that the loss in the goods occurred on board the lighter. Mr. Kingsbury Jameson said that he could state cases of a similar kind. Sir P. Laurin; said that Captain Fife was, in his opi nion, exonerated from a ll blame. He should like to know who were the proprietors of the lighter ? Mr. Pearce said the (general Steam Navigation Com pany were quite ignorant of the ownership of the lighter The Company, he assured the i '-Alderman,lhad made every inquiry on the subject, and if merchants fotmcl deficiencies occurring, they had their remedy. Sir P. LAURIE-The Company certainly ought to ascertain everything about this lighter. Mr. Pearce—The frauds may take place in the ware houses of the consignees. They certainly do not take place on board of the steamer, as the statements made here fully prove. The Bavarian Consul said it would have been very desirable if the General Steam Navigation Company had made proper exertions on the subject, and not com pelled a proceeding of this description to be adopted by the merchants of London. Sir P. LAURIE thought the notice of those matters in the public press would speedily remedy the evil. The authorities in Rotterdam would no doubt look into the subject of complaint ; and the Company ought certainly to have a lighter of their own at Rotterdam, in which the property of the merchants would be properly se cured. He was glad, for the sake of the Company, that the question had been brought forward, for the reports were calculated to be highly injurious. QUEEN-SQUARE. Benjamin Profit, a man of colour, was charged with endangering the life of Christopher Siddons, a shoemaker. Siddons and another shoemaker, and their wives, were taking some refreshment, at the bar of a public house in York-street, Westminster, on the preceding evening, when the prisoner and another negro entered, and commenced using very insulting an even disgust ing language to the women. Siddons interfered in their behalf, and received in consequence' a blow from the sledge-hammer fist of the first prisoner, which felled him like an ox. Siddons afterwards left the house, accom panied by his wife and friends, but he was quickly fol lowed by the prisoner, who again struck him without provocation. A scuffle then ensued, and ultimately Siddons was thrown with great violence upon the pave ment, the back of his head striking the curb in failing. He was taken up senseless. A certificate from a sur geon stated that Siddons had received a very severe concussion of the brain, and he was not in a fit state to appear. _ _ . . Air: BURRELL ordered the prisoner to find securities, himself in 80/, and two persons 401 each, to appear and answer the charge a fortnight hence. The prisoner being incapable of procuring such buil, was committed. SHORT WEIGHT OF UNION BREAD. At the Hertford Petty Sessions, last week, a case, which had previously occupied the attention of the Bench a considerable time at their last sitting, was again brought before their notice, on a renewed application by the assistant overseer of the parish of Hatfield, to take proceedings against one of the contractors, who had en gaged to supply the union with bread, for sending out bread of short weight ; as his contract was to supply loaves of the weight of four pounds each, and such being the description of loaves persons in the receipt of paro chial relief were ordered to receive.—The overseer said his attention was called to the circumstance by a woman who; had been ordered six four-pound loaves a week, complaining that two of the loaves she re ceived were only three pounds each. He then de sired all the paupers when they got their bread, to have it weighed. They did so, but not in the con tractor's shop, for they took it to a butcher's shop ad joining, who weighed it for them, ard found the loaves generally from four to six ounces short of weight each The overseer was prepared with evidence of these facts, if the Bench would grant a summons against the party to answer the charge.—The Bench considered the sub ject most attentively, but though they reprobated in strong terms this cruel and heartless fraud on the poor, they said the subject did not come within4heir jurisdiction, as there (lid riqt appear to be any provision in the Bread Act to punish persons for selling bread short of weight. There was a penalty prescribed for persons using any other than the usual avoirdupois weights, and individuals might at all times depand to have the bread weighed in the shop ; but if they did not do so, and got bread short of weight, there was no proceedings which the Magis trates in Petty Sessions could adopt to punish for the fraud : —.Herttord Reformer. [The JuStices appear to us to have come to an erroneous decision. They are not called upon to apply the Bread Act, but the common law, or some statute directed against fraud. The Bread Act requires the bread to be weighed, and those who purchase it may either pay fur less than 4 lb., or insist on having 4 lb. of bread. If the seller uses false weights, that is a different kind of fraud, and punishable by the common law, or some particular statute. In the case of this contractor, he had not sold 41b. Joaves—he had committed a. fraud, according to the statement, under a contract. The decision of the Ma gistrates, if generally acted on, as no doubt it will be, goes to encourage cheating and plundering the poor. In the eyes of county Magistrates, however, cheating and. starving the poor must be venial offences, for of them all the landowners are habitually guilty.] LLOYD'S SHIPPING VESSELS SPOKEN WlTlL—Glenelg, Bombay to Lon don, 12th Nov., lat. 34 S. lon. 16 E.; Princess Amelia,.

I MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Another dreadful murder, induced by drunkenness, was committed on Sunday evening last, at the above place, a market town about 10 miles to the north-east of Doncaster ' on an unoffend ing lad of about 13 years of age, and of deficient in tellect. About a quarter past six o'clock a journeyman shoemaker, a stranger to the town, rushed out of a house in King-street, and conducted himself very violently with shouting, and attempted to attack several girls and boys walking by, but they all eluded him, except a boy of the name of Pashley, the son of poor parents, whom the intoxicated ruffian desperately and suddenly stabbed in the back between the shoulder-blade bones. The poor child fell immediately, bathed in blood, and a constable secured the prisoner. Mr. Mirfin and Dr. Guy were in.prompt attendance upon the sufferer, who was removed to a house near at hand. As soon as these gentle- Man inspected the wound, they expressed little hope of Pashley's recovery,' and, notwithstanding every attention was paid to him, he died in about three hours, of internal hemorrhage. The murderer's name is Thomas Timms, but he gave his name in William Abbotts at first. He is about 29 years of age, and slend er i n person, married, but abandoned his wife a few years ago, si nce which I time he has been tramping about the country. A most unfortunate occurrence took place at Coimbra on the 26th of December. A student of the University named Lobo headed a party of the scholars in one of those freaks which at that period of the year are customary amongst mad-cap students in every country. • The military were called out (unne cessarily, as I am informed) to quell the disturbance but realized the proverb of " catching a Tartar," having been immediately disarmed by Lobo's party. Shortly after, Lobo and his friends volunteered to fraternise with the soldiery, and generously gave them back their arms ; whereupon these bloodthirsty scoundrels, with true Portuguese valour, discharged their pieces on the body, o f s t u d en t s , a nd shot poor Lobo dead on the spot. This young man was of good property, and well connected, and the disastrous event has caused gene ral lamentation ; but, ai they manage these matters in this country, it is perfectly. manifest that the perpetra tors of this act of, rascally cowardice will never be called to account.
