PITCAIRN'S ISLAND, PACIFIC OCEAN. We have letters from this colony by the Pandora, arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth, which contain some interesting details relative to the island, and the descendants of the unfortunate men connected with the mutiny of the Bounty, and from which we make the following extracts : " Pitcairn's Island, July, 1849.—The number of inhabitants 149—males 75, females 74—of this num ber three are English, one a Otaheitean woman, widow of Edward Young, midshipman of the Bounty, aged 80, two men of the first generation, one of them a son of John Adams (Bounty) named Arthur, and the other a von of Matthew Quintal (Bounty) named George, seven females of the first generation, three daughters of Adams, one of Christian, one of Young, one of Mills, one of McCoy, the remainder are chil dren of the second and third generation. " During the last five years one-fifth of the popu lation have been born, and only one has died a natural death, one of lock-jaw, and a child burned to death. The inhabitants are occupied chiefly in cultivating the ground and carpentering; several of the young men are good at cabinet work and a 3 black smiths. There are eight marriageable males and seven females at present unmarried. The soil is very rich but porous; a great proportion decomposed lava, the other a rich black earth and clayey ground. The climate is temperate ; thermometer from 59 to 89 in the shade. The spring commences in August, which is harvest time, and yams and potatoes are dug, which is the principal food ; and of potatoes there are two crops per year, which are planted in February and July, and dug in June and November. There are no regular trade winds; in the summer months the wind prevails mostly from E.S.E. to north. Northerly winds are generally light, often accompa nied with rain or fog ; when the wind is N. it inva riably goes round to the westward, from which quarter and S.E. the strongest gales prevail. With wind from S.W. it is generally clear weather, with moderate breezes. In winter prevailing winds are S.W. to E.S.E. The animal and vegetable productions of the island ; goats, hops, and poultry, yams, sweet and Irish potatoes, the api-root and tarro in small quantities. Plantains : pines, melons, oranges breadfruit, sugar-canes, limes, and the vi, or Brazi lian plum. The only grain is maize. The food of the inhabitants is chiefly yams and potatoes; animal food two or three times a week. Fish are getting scarce. Bed-clothes are generally manufactured by the females, from the ante, or paper mulberry. Wear ing apparel is obtained from whale ships, in exchange for vegetables, &c. Cotton cloth is much wanted. Blankets and woollen articles, and soap, very scarce. " The average number f ships touching at the island annually is eight or nine, mostly Americans, and they always behave well. Last year there were seven ships, ten less than in 1847 ; the last vessel that touched there was an English brig, from New Zea land, bound to California with emigrants, there being eight English women amongst them. " On the first day of each year a chief magistrate and councillor are elected, all persons (male and female) over sixteen years of age are voters. The chief magistrate then chooses his counsellor or secretary. The duty of the magistrate is to convene meet ings and hear cases ; it is then left to a jury of five persons, and if the decision is not satisfactory to both parties, they are allowed to appeal to the com mander of her Majesty's ships of war; punishments are generally fines or labour. The inhabitants generally retire to rest early,' and rise with the sun. From August to November they have plenty of employment, digging yams ; also planting bananas, yams, and potatoes), weeding ground, &c., and when not busily employed they generally meet in the morning, and, if the weather is favourable go fish ing ; if not, on Saturdays they go out bunting for a Sunday's dinner. On the arrival of a ship off the island no one is allowed to go on board before the pilot, who always takes charge of the boats when landing, and provides for the captain when on shore, each family in rotation furnishing a pilot, or provid ing a substitute, who always expects a small remuneration for his services. The females generally assist in the cultivation of the ground, preparing thatch for the houses, &c , and, in fact, are more employed than the males ; they are generally very strong, many of them being able to cary a barrel of potatoes down to the landing• place, the path to which is very rugged and steep, and in the rainy season very difficult to ascend or descend. Since 1831 there have been 16 deaths ; 4 of them accidental, 4 of fever, 1 a disease of the ear, 1 of the heart, 1 of cancer, 1 of consumption, 2 of in fluenza, 1 in childbirth, and lin infancy. The diseases most prevalent are asthma and catarrh, which prevail mostly among the females ; bilious attacks are frequent but slight, and easily give way to treat ment. Influenza had visited the island during the last seven years, and caused 2 deaths. COLLISION ON A NEW YORK RAILWAY. The New York papers received by the Europa con taro detailed accounts of an alarming railway collision that happened on the sth inst. We extract the notice in the New York Herald, as at once the most concise and the most distinct. A dreadful accident occurred yesterday forenoon, on the New Haven railroad, by the collision of two trains. The up-train, conveying the Boston mail, and leaving New York at eight o'clock, had on board in the hindmost car, the mem bers of Marion Hose Company, No. 4, Captain Joseph Buckman, who were going on their annual target excusion to new Rochelle. There were nearly sixty in the car, including invited guests. When the train was between Fordham and Morriania, a drove of about thirty cows, belonging to Mr. Bathgate, were being driven across the track, by the herds men, from watering. The train coming in collision with them, the baggage car was thrown off the track, and across the track of the down train. At the same moment, the New Haven down train was passing to New York, and the locomotive coming in contact with the baggage car of the up train, was driven off its track, and being detached from its train, it shot off at an angle, and went right into the corner of the hindmost car, containing the Hose Company. It went through it in a diagonal direction, wounding and bruising the passengers in a dreadful manner, and filling the car with steam. Fortunately the safety pipe was broken in the colli sion, and the steam escaping, the force was necessarily diminished. The engine was shattered, and buried itself in the sand, by which its progress was arrested. The sand was thrown up into the air, like so much smoke. There were 13 of the cows killed, and some of them were thrown 20 feet by the force of the shock ; but it is almost miraculous that no human life was sacrificed—at least we have heard of none. There was a little buy sitting quite close to the spot where the locomotive entered it, who was thrown to the other side, and was not injured in the least; and a fireman, named James P. Sowerley, of Stanton-street, was thrown out of the window without being hurt. The other cars were considerably damaged, but none of the passengers in them received the slightest injury. Some of the cars had the wheels knocked off. The following is a list of the wounded of Hose Company No. 4 : George Bailey, 7.5, Norfolk-street—both his legs broken, one of them in two places, and the other at the ancle; William Palmer, 161, Stanton-street — leg greatly injured; William Swinerton, Broome street—leg badly bruised; William Wilmott, 240, Delaney street—hurt in the side and feet ; George Hobbs, Clinton-street—both legs and hip injured; William Daley—injured in the breast and back; John Morgan, Clinton-street—head and breast in jured ; Robert Mackay—hurt in the stomach by being thrown on a chair; Thomas Baker—hand injured ; George W. Brady—face bruised ; Charles Dumonlin, Clinton-street—both legs injured. Here we have a list of ten, besides others whose names we could not learn, more or less injured. The amount of injury cannot as yet be ascertained, as internal bruises have been received, which may terminate fatally. It is a curious circumstance that the target, which was exquisitely ornamented, was not crushed in the least. There were two muskets broken, and a trumpet of one of the band. The horn of a cow, dashed off her head, was picked up fifty feet distant, by a member of the company. We saw it in the evening, together with a portion of the whistle of the locomotive. Fortunately there was a doctor in the train, who gave his services freely to the wounded. We could not learn his name. The up-train was delayed for about an hour, and then proceeded on its way. The down-train was taken to Ne w Y or k b y the flarlem train, and Hose Company No. 4, after consulting together, resolved to return by it, instead of pursuing their trip, and to apply the money they intended to expend upon the ex cursion for medical a ica e l cen a i l a dto t thesuff suffering members of as h their body, occurred when they were on duty. The down train having been placed on the track by the assistance of Irish labourers, who wer e work ing in the neighbourhood, it was attach e d t o t h e Harlem train, and arrived in the city at twelve o'clock. The members of Hose Company No. 4 conveyed the wounded to their residences, end Dr. Cockroft w as called in to attend to Mr. Bailey.. In the evening the company held a meet in g at their carriage-room, and passed resolutions. These gentlemen state that they heard no alarm whistle from either locomotive. There is no fence whatever at the place, and no railway police to keep animals off the track. Some great change in the management of this and other railways seems necessary, as a large amount of human life has been sacrificed of late that might, ...,---- _. Nintter a different system, have been saved. In Eng ° /.."" lend and Germany the railway accidents are not one f/ -.; taeveur oile hundred that occur on the railways about i v y .?

General Grammont has given notice of his inten tion to move the following proposition in the Legis lative Assembly : " Art. 1. The officers and soldiers belonging to the foreign legions in the service of France shall be sub jected, as respects discipline and promotion, to the laws of the French army. " Art. 2. The foreign officers now serving in those legions shall be immediately replaced by French officers, in case they should refused to submit to the military la% s in vigour. " Art. 3. From the date of the promulgation of the present law, no foreigner shall be admitted with ae rank of officer into the French army." The Courrier Francais says :—" It is positively stated that the Government has decided on replacing the present Governor- General of Algeria; but the motives for this decision, nor the name of the in tended successor of General Charton are not men-- 1 tioned." PRUSSIA. The Second Chamber of Prussia, on the 19th, proceeded to discuss the articles of the Constitution relative to Public Instruction. Clauses enacting that education should be free, but that public schools should be established, and that all parents and guardians should be bound to give children the education pro vided therein, were adopted. The Prussian Government has sent a plenipotentiar) to Copenhagen, to endeavour ter effect a settlement o' the affair of the Duchies. lONIAN ISLANDS . SIR H. G. WARD'S PROCLAMATION OF AN AMNESTY. Cepbalonians,—l have allowel a week to elapse since my last proclamation, in the expectation that some one of the large number amongst you who are in terested in the future tranquillity of the island, would have co-operated with the Government in its en deavours to discover the source of the conspiracy which has disquieted the country. Many persons have required it of me, but none have offered ti assist me : this might, perhaps, compel me either to try by court-martial five of your fellow-citizen: for the crime of high treason, upon the insufficien. denunciations of individuals who, themselves con victed of the same crime, may have previously con certed their evidence, in the hope of saving then own lives; or to enter upon a long series of nee inquiries, new accusations, and new arrests, with thr idea of ultimately obtaining a complete proof of the crime. But I cannot adopt this course. Until nos I have done what I considered to be my duty towards my Sovereign and towards yourselves in endeavour ing to prevent the repetition of any attempts such a• signalised the commencement of the last revolt ; bu this necessity has ceased to exist. There has been enough punishment : I must use the greatest circumspection in the employment of m 3 power, the more particularly as I find my name it mixed up with the accusations against those whost fate depends on my decision. I therefore declare a fub and entire amnesty in favour of all persons implicates: in the events of the months of August and Septembe' last, and I promise, in the name of the Government. that no more investigations shall be made, and that above all, no accusations shall be admitted against those who have been in any way connected with the events in question. Every individual who is in prison shall at once from to-day be set at liberty. Time, their futurt conduct, and the opinion of their fellow-citizens wil, decide upon their innocence or guilt. If any out accuses the Government of having permitted itself tt be biassed by former recollections or by personal feelings, I am ready to lay before the Parliament, as soon as it shall have assembled, a full statement of the reasons for all my acts, and to leave it to the Legis lature to decide whether my justification is complete It has been suggested to me how very painful i• would be to see men of education and of independen. fortune inculpated by the denunciations of malefactor: and murderers. It is very rare, indeed, that conspire cies protected by secret oaths are discovered withou the treachery of an accomplice, for these accomplices only become assassins, or brigands, after having beet initiated into the conspiracy by the inducements of individuals more elevated in society, perhaps, but lees enterprising. The general amnesty will have but one exception. Judgment on G. Pierato Cutwevi and on Nicholas Metaxas, son of Denys Metaxas, will be pronounces to morrow, by the Court at Lixouri ; the formes being proved too hardened a criminal to be set at liberty, and the latter, unhappily, having acted most inexcusably towards a respectable and well-born indi vidual, for which several other persons have been punished. Immediately after this judgment the court martial will terminate. Count Gerasimos Sarin, who was convicted on th most unexceptionable testimony of having appeared fully armed in the midst of the insurgents at the village of Marcopoulos, has been condemned to twenty-one years' imprisonment; but having bee!, informed by witnesses who did not appear before the court, that he is a man of weak mind, and quite in capable, both by habit and character, of taking tie active part in matters of this kind, and that he may have been led to Marcopoulos by want of occupatioe or by intimidation, I shall commute his punishment to two years detention. The question of indemnities for the losses expe rienced by parties whose houses were burnt and pro perties devastated in the months of August and September, in the districts of Scala Leo and Catoleo will be submitted to the Senate on my return te Corfu; but it is not to be questioned that the ielano of Cephalonia ought not to be responsible, and that it cannot possess any claim against this treasury of the seven islands on the subject of these indemnities any more than for every other extraordinary charge in curred by the Governor for the quelling of the revolt. As malevolent passions, together with attempts at proceedings contrary to the law, may be exhibited during the winter in the districts recently exposed to disorder, I believe it is my duty to increase the forces at the police and military stations, and to invite the public agent and primates of those districts to lend their assistance and zealous concurrence to thou forces, for if this had not been disgracefully neglected at Scala, Marcopoulos,Vattes, and divers other villages, the disasters which occurred there might have been at once suppressed. I shall recommend to the Senate the establishmen of sanitary commissions at Pessades and Portoterra as advantageous to the commerce of the island, and faci litating the watching of the smuggling trade, that fruitful source of illegalities and of loss to the treasury, at the same time that it deprives the local Government of the proper resources by which it might contribute to the general benefit, above all to the maintenance and extension of the roads which are so indispensable to your internal traffic. Since my first visit Pessades has been pointed out to me as a port particularly adapted to develop the communication between Argos toll and Zante, and to become still more important whenever the negotiations which have been commenced with the Austrian Lloyd's shall result in the establish ment of a direct communication from Trieste and Con stantinople to Cephalonia and Zante. The society has not the means of including Argostoli in the treaty for the whole of the six months ; but the Government will facilitate the transport of dispatches and passen gers between Pessades and Zante, by sending to meet the steamers until the direct communication shall be opened. I cannot leave Argostoli without thanking you for the assistance which you have rendered me in the rigorous duties I have had to fulfil. I have received the best evidence of the support given to my political conduct and its results from the Legislature of this islael, from the most noted of the citizens, as well as from the extensive districts into which the spirit of lawlessness has never penetrated. I believe, from my heart and soul, that it is this c onduct alone which has averted from the island the most terrible calamities ; but the amnesty which I now proclaim proves that I am not actuated by the desire of prolonging a power which only the direst necessity can impose upon a Government ; which I have exercised with regret, and with a feeling of responsibility which few will believe, and which I ervently hope, under any circumstances of my public ife, I shall never be called upon to re assume. (Signed) H. G. WARD, Lord High Commissioner. Argostoli, Cephalonia, Oct. 24, 1849.

A DISTRESSINU, CASE.—Yesterday, a young lad aged 15, named John Je f fries, was charged with stealing five herrings under the following circum stances : George Ham, 275, said the prisoner was given into his custody, but the prosecutor, on learning the cir cumstances of the family, said he could not come for ward in such a distressing case, and therefore, with the Alderman's permission, the boy might keep the herrings. Sir G. CARROLL asked the officer if he had made inquiries respecting the case ? Ham replied that he had, and had ascertained that the father and the pri soner were employed at Lloyd's printing-office, but during the late epidemic the husband and one daughter were attacked, and both died, leaving the prisoner's mother a widow with a large family to support, and no means of doing so; for, to aid to her difficulties, she was confined on Sunday, and they were all at the present moment in the greatest distress. It was from these circumstances that the prosecutor refused to appear. Sir G. CARROLL asked where they resided ? Ham replied at 21, Harp-alley, Farringdon-street. Sir G. CARROLL wished to know if they received any relief ? Ham said they were in receipt of 3s. 6d. per week and three loaves from the parish of St. Bride's, but that was not sufficent to keep four chil dren younger than the prisoner, one a little older, and the mother. Sir G. CARROLL asked if the prisoner was still in employ ? Hem said that his mother informed him that he was discharged from Lloyd's about a fortnight ago because he was late one morning. Sir G. CARROLL said he thought it a case deserving the sympathy of the public, and also one that ought to be attended to by those societies who were re ceiving such large sums for the relief of the sufferers by the cholera. He considered 3s. Gd. a week and three loaves quite inadequate to support seven per sons, more particularly when the state of the mother was considered. He had no doubt, when the case was made public, sympathy would be shown for the widow under such circumstances. Sir G. CARROLL then cautioned the boy against being guilty of the crime of theft again, and dis charged him. Ilam asked if he was to give the lad the herrings ? Sir G. CARROLL said most certainly, us it was the wish of the prosecutor, who had acted most humanely; and he ordered the officer to take ss. to the poor creature for her present relief, and likewise directed that she should have ss. more next week. LAMBETH. Tau ATTEMPTED MURDER IN DULWICH WOOD.— Messrs. Wainreft and Hill, respectable tradesmen in Whitechapel, waited on Mr. N orton, and presented him with a Si. note, the subscription of the gentlemen frequenting the following inns, viz. :—Mr. Hill's, the Grove Mansion, Whited - lapel road, 2/ 43.; Mr Gil man's, the Angel, High street, Whitechapel, 11. 95.; and Mr. Sear's, Keys, Commercial-road East, 1/. 75., for the use of the young woman Ewins. Mr. Norton also received ss. from Mr. Rea, Montpelier-row, Blackheath, for Ewins ; and Si. from " A. II.," a Chankoffering ; and two sovereigns from " M. B." CLERKEN (YELL. Mr. Thomas Maurice Harvey, of the Old Red Lien, St. John's-street-road, Clerkenwell, appeared to a summons, at the instance of the police of the G division, charged with having kept his house open for the sale of liquors, &c., on Sunday last, not being for the refreshment and accommodation of travellers, The case excited considerable interest, and numerous licensed victuallers were in court. Mr. Hobler attended fur the defence. Inspector Hardy, G, said that, at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock on last Sunday forenoon, he entered the house of the defendant with another officer, and in a back room he found three men, and a pint pewter pot was on a table, containing malt liquor. He said to Mr. Hirvey, "I have cautioned you before?' He said, "They are drovers." The men said they were so, and they had come from Newport, South Mimms, andi Leicestershire, with cattle. Witness told them they were not allowed to drive cattle on Sunday, and they could not be viewed as travellers in the eye of the law. Mr. Hobler did not question. the witness, but he hoped he should convince the court that his client had done no wrong. Drovers were in the habit of bringing their cattle from various and distant parts of the country to Islington, and on Satufday nights and Sunday they were egally accommodated by licensed victuallers until they could return to their own homes. He (Mr. Hobler) did not mean to deny that the parties were in his client's house, but to meet the charge fairly on its merits. A Mr. Terry, from Newport, and Mr. Underwood, from Leicestershire, had brought up cattle to London, and deposited them in the neighbourhood of his client's house, and they were in value upwards of 3,000/.; they applied for res freshment at Mr. Harvey's, and were admitted. They had not been there many minutes when the officers entered. Under these circumstances, he con tended that they ought to be viewed as travellers, such as were recognised within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Mr. TYRWDITT—Perhaps, you are not aware that the local Act of Islington snakes it illegal to drive cattle through the streets. &c., on Sunday ? Mr. Hobler—Mr. Harvey's house is in Clerkenwell. Mr. TYRWHITT—You must distinctly prove that they were' travellers. Mr. William Underwood, of Leicestershire, was sworn—He was nephew to Mr. Underwood, one of the travellers alluded to. Went to meet his uncle et the defendant's house on Sunday last, at a quarter to twelve o'clock. Saw him and Mr. Terry there, quite fatigued and muddy. They came from the country every week with their cattle. They had a pint of half-and-half. Inspector Hardy—They had all the appearance of being travellers. Witness—They always go to defendant's house when they come to London. They had only been in the house a quarter of an hour when the officers came. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 22. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge.) AssAtThT AND ALLEGED CRIM. CON.—Mr. Stephen Bailey, a publican in Newgate Market, surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment, charged with having assaulted Joshua Stopford. Mr. Hurry appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Bal lantine for the defendant. Mr. LIORRY briefly opened the case to the jury, and suggested that it was a case which might very properly have been settled out of court, and if that course were taken the feelings of all parties would be spared. Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant rejected the suggestion with the utmost possible scorn. The prosecutor wat then examined. lie stated that his name was Joshua Stopford, and that he was secre tary to the Artesian Water Company, residing at 46, St. John-street, Clerken well, and occupying offices in Southampton-buildings. On the 14th of the present month he had occasion to go to Richmond, and whilst there he met, by the purest accident, Mrs. Willey, the wife of the defendant. They returned to town together by the South-Western Railway, and on leaving Waterloo station he accompained Mrs. Bailey over Waterloo-bridge to the end of Lancaster-place, where she proposed to take an omnibus to proceed towards Regent's-park. He would have proceeded to his own home after he had left her, but they found that it would be some minutes before an omnibus going to the required destination came up, so they walked slowly up and down Lancaster-place, and whilst so doing the defendant rushed up and struck him a tremendous blow with a brass headed stick. For the minute, such was the effect of the blow, he was completely blinded, and when he had recovered sufficiently to look round, the defendant was tearing his wife's bonnet from her head and her clothes from her back. The defendant then said " You - I have caught you at last, have II" and again struck him. His face was bleeding, and on a policeman running up he gave the defendant into custody. The defendant threatened to murder his wife. Cross-examined—This took place on the day before the thanksgiving day. Mrs. Bailey is now living in the house of Mr. Wooller, a friend of mine, No. 10, Carburton-street, Fitzroy-square. I took her there and introduced her to Mr. Wooller five weeks ago last Monday. Of tour e that was before I met her at Richmond. I have never slept at Mr. Wooller's house. I have visited Mrs. Bailey there. I saw her there on the Sunday before the transaction, and I took her and Mrs. Wooller to church. Wooller is not my attorney in this prosecution. I drew up the brief myself. I went to Richmond for the purpose of dis charging an obligation I thought I was under. It was to pay for the maintenance of Mrs. Bailey's child, which was with a person named Foster. Mrs. Bailey had no name for it, and I told her to send the child where she liked, and I would pay for its maintenance. She sent it to Foster's, and it was there I met Mrs. Bailey. I did not meet her by arrangement. I was in the habit of frequenting Mr. Bailey's house, and have eaten and drank there many times. I never went after Mrs. Bailey left. Mr. Bailey turnei her out on the 17th of September. It was on my account. I never made love to her when I visited the house. The JUDGE—Do you swear, then, that there never was any improper intimacy between you and Mrs. Bailey ? Witness—l do. On the 17th of December the defendant said I had seduced his wife, and he struck me- on the face with a life preserver, and I bled profusely. Had my head been in a more inclined position, he would have killed me on th e spo t. H e turned his wife out of doors that night. I did not charge the defendant with an assault then. Mrs. Bailey then went to live at her sister's, but she was too poor to keep her, and as she had been turned out o f her house on my account, I thought I was bound to provide her with lodgings. I suppose Mr. Wooller will compel Mr. Bailey to pay the expenses.— (Laughter.) I may have had some very jocular conversation with her. I may have kissed her. I kissed her about six months ago. She ' was too virtuous a woman to allow any person to take liberties with her. It was a liberty to kiss her, no doubt, but I " snatched " it unawares.—(Loud laughter.) It was stated before the magistrate that I and Mrs. Bailey went to a coffee-house by the Waterloo-road. I did not recollect whether we did or not until I asked Mrs. Bailey. We did. I cannot tell precisely where the coffee-house was. She wanted some refreshment, and I took her there. She had some coffee. We were there ten minutes. I don't know whether it was a brothel or not. I could not find it again if I tried. Re-examined—My only reason for providing her with lodgings was that she was destitute. By the COURT—I don't know where Mrs. Bailey's ' sister lived. She sent me a message, and I met her in St. John-street. A boy used to carry messages between us. I sent a note to tell her that she could go to Mr. Wooller's. The JUDGE—How did you direct that note ? Witness—l didn't direct it all. Yes I did though— I forgot. I directed it Mrs. Bailey. The JUDGE—Where at? Witness—Oh, nowhere. —(Laughter.) The child was sent to Richmond by my direction. I swear that after she left her hus band's I did not know where she lived. I took a great interest in her, because I presumed I was the cause of her troubles. lam paying 63. a week for the child. Mrs. Bailey was very much attached to the child, and I desired it to be sent to Richmond, so that it might not be taken from her by the defendant. When at Richmond Mrs. Bailey had a return ticket. I had not. I did not go for the purpose of sleeping there. A police-constable proved having witnessed the transaction. The Learned JUDGE said he was reminded of the very best speech ever made by a well-known Judge. When on circuit ha said in an assault case, " Gentle men of the jury, the case for the prosecution is that my client gave the prosecutor a good thrashing. My , case is that he very richly deserved it." The circum stances of this case brought that speech strongly to his ~660 mind. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury. He said he had a very few observations to make, but there were in this case matters of too serious a nature to be lightly passed over. The defendant was a highly respectable man, and had lived fourteen or fifteen years in the house he at present occupied, and up to the period when the prosecutor commenced his visits he had a good and devoted wife, who had borne him several children, two of whom only were now living, but she had been debauched by this men, who had robbed the defendant of every domestic comfort he possessed—who had robbed him of his children, and who now added to his former villany the infamy of perjury, for he had deliberately and distinctly sworn that no criminal intercourse had taken place between him and the defendant's wife. Mr. Hoamar said, that if Mr. Ballantine went into C:ese details without proof, he should claim a reply. The Learned JUDGE said that all Mr. Ballantine could say could not alter the question as to the assault. What Mr. Ballantine said about provocation would be addressed to the Court, and not to the jury. It was not possible, consistently, for the defendant to declared not guilty. Mr. BALLANTINE then proceeded, and commented with great severity on the proposition made by the prosecutor, through his counsel, to settle the matter out of court, "%Well circumstance showed, he said, Mr. TIEwIIITT remarked that every case must stand on its own merits. The parties evidently came from the country to London in their vocation as drovers and travellers ' • besides, they had all the ap pearance of what they described themselves to be, and that wls what the public had to look at. It would appear that they were fatigued, and did not luok like dirty slovenly fellows. Some discrimination, however, was to be observed. Under all the circumstances, he should dismiss the defendant from that court without the least imputation upon him. Mr. Hobler and Mr. Harvey thanked his Worship; Mr. Hobler saying that sometimes a dozen such per sons, travellers, were in Mr. Harvey's house. Thi decision gave general satisfaction ; and it is but justice to add that the inspector (Hardy) was highly complimented for the fair and impartial manner in which he gave his evilence. 9,909 REGISTRY or l'isniNG VESSELS.—It having been represented to the Commissioners of Custom•; that it would be attended with hardship to the masters and owners of small fishing vessels if they were required t‘) find a surety to the registry bond, upon the registering of their vessels, as required by a general order of the Board, dated the 29th of August last, the Board have expressed their consent to fishing vessels of and under twenty tons burden being exempted fiv u t h e condition of the _regulation motioned. 3,129 how very much he desired that the world should not THE COUNTRY MARKETS. know how base a creature he was.
