The old man is now better. The ma gistrates' court was well attended during the day by a large number of the respectable inhabitants of the neigh_ bourhood, by whom the aged pair w ere much este emed. The Woman Harriett Francis, at whose house the fellows stayed on the night after the murder, and with whom it seems some of the stolen property had been left, was appre hended on the charge of having it in her possession, but she has since been liberated. Evidence to the same effect as that which we have already published having ben given the prisoners were formally committed for trial. Th e y are str ong muscular fellows, and were apparenty insensible of e peril in which they stand. They aeare d supremely indifferent to the proceedings, and, although they were un defended by a professional man, declined to ask any of the F.tetnesses any questions. They wer e a t the conclusion of 7 , hearing cautioned in the usual manner, and when asked __ t hey had anything to say, respecti ve ly replied in the 41 %ative. They were committed on both charges.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Crompton, Hill, and Blackburn.) THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE. RE ANDERSON-HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up one Anderson, who was formerly a slave in America, in order that he might be discharged. It will be recollected that Anderson, who was a fugitive slave, after killing the person who attempted to capture him, escaped into Canada. The Missouri Govern ment applied to have him given up under the extradition treaty, and he was arrested. He applied to the courts at Toronto for a writ of habeas, and it was refused, the courts holding that he must be given up. The application was now made in this court for a writ of habeas corpus, that he might be brought up and discharged, the learned counsel arguing that it had a concurrent juris diction with the Canadian courts, and could exercise its prerogative of the Crown for the purpose of liberating a British subject who was illegally confined. The learned counsel argued at great length, and quoted a number of authorities in support of his argument. Ihe Lord Chief Justice said the Court had considered the matter, and they thought the writ ought to issue, although they felt the inconvenience that might be attached to such a course, and were fully sensible that it might be regarded as incompatible with the great liberty happily given to colonial courts and colonial legislatures ; but in extending that liberty the Crown had not abrogated the rights of the courts at Westminster to issue such writs as this, but that right had been exercised from the earliest to the latest times, and nothing short of a distinct enactment by the Legislature could prevent their issuing this writ. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT. - NORRIS V. CHAMBERS. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This is a suit instituted by the personal representatives of the late John Sadleir, for the purpose cf establishing a lien on a mine in Prussia, called the Maria Anna Mine. He regretted that he held an opinion contrary to that expressed by three eminent English counsel, that the real and per sonal estate of a deceased felo-de-se do not fall as escheats to the Crown, but pass to his heir at law. In this case I can give no decree to the plaintiff. I simply dismiss the bill without costs. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BELLEW V. BELLEW AND EDEN. This was a petition for divorce presented by the Rev. J. C. M. Bellew, on the ground of adultery on the part of Eva Maria Bellew, the wife of the petitioner, with a gentle man named Ashley Eden. Mrs. Bellew made no answer to the petition, but Mr. Ashley, the co-respondent, had sent in his answer, which was to the effect that, as he had already paid a sum of 5,000 rupees, which had been awarded to the petitioner by the court in Calcutta, in which an action had been brought against him by the petitioner for seduction, he ought not to be immersed in the costs of the present application. Dr. Travers Twiss, Q.C., in opening the case for the petitioner, said the present proceedings were insti tuted by John Chippendale Montesque Bellew against Eva Maria Bellew for a decree of divorce, on the ground of adultery, committed by her with the Hon. Ashley Eden. The petitioner married the lady, whose maiden name was Money, in the year 1817, at St. Saviour'e, Southwark. From that time till 1851 the parties lived happily together, when the petitioner obtained an appointment to a chap laincy in India. In the year 1853 Mr. Bellew, through intercepting a letter, discovered that his wife was carrying on an adulterous intercourse with Mr. Eden. An action was brought in the Civil Court at Bengal, by Mr. Bellew against Mr. Eden, who allowed judgment to go by de fault, and the Court set down the damages at 5,000 rupees. A divorce a mensa et thora was afterwards obtained by Mr. Bellew in the Civil Court in India, and on the arrival of Mr. Bellew in England he commenced a suit for divorce in the House of Lords, but owing to the want of money the suit had to be abandoned. The learned gentleman also remarked that owing to the adul tery having been committed in India, he should have to put in certified copies of the evidence given by several par ties in the courts in India, and rely in a great measure upon them. Amongst them was that of a gentleman named Hume, who, although he had been in England since the occurrence, was now in India. The evidence of Mr. Hume was then read, which was to the effect that the respondent and co-respondent had lived together as man and wife. Mr. Charles Swinton Hogg, a barrister, said—l practiced at the bar at Calcutta from 1851 to 1853. I made Mr. Bellew's acquaintance in 1852. I visited him at his house. My visits were not frequent after 1853. I saw Mrs. Bellew very often, and they appeared to live very affectionately till about the summer of 1853, when a coldness became appa rent on her part. lam on terms of friendship with Mr. Bellew at the present time. Mr. John Vallance—l am the petitioner's solicitor. I produce his marriage certificate. The certificate stated that the marriage was celebrated at St. Saviour's, Southwark, in 1848. My partner and myself took steps to procure a divorce in the House of Lords, but owing to Mr. Bellew not having sufficient funds to carry on the suit it had to be dropped. Mr. William Malony, a clerk in the House of Lords, pro. duced a certified copy of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Bengal, in the case of Bellew v. Bellow. The evidence of two witnesses, named Goolam Gosheim and Linton, given at the trial in Bengal, was also read, which left no doubt of the adultery having been committed. The Judge Ordinary asked if any person appeared for the respondents. Dr. Swaby said he appeared for Mr. Eden, and all he had to ask the Court was that his client might not be sad dled with the costs of the present application. He had already paid one set of costs. _ . Dr. Twiss said he would not press for costs. The Judge Ordinary granted a rule nisi. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Deputy Joyce.) MEED V. JONES.-MODERN CRITICISM. This was an action for an amount due for putting up a quantity of gas fittings. Plaintiff and his witness deposed to the work having been done as ordered, and defendant complained that it had not been properly carried out. He could prove this by a witness. Defendant then called his witness, and the following conversation ensued between that person and the Judge. Judge.—What are you ? Witness.—A compositor. Judge.—A. printer? 'W itness.—Yes. Judge.—And what do you know about gas fittings ? You work at times by gas or candle light. Witness—Yes, and I can tell if the gas acts properly or improperly. Judge—Supposing that any complaint was made as to the manner in which you set up type would you not feel very indignant if a bricklayer were called in to give an opinion upon it ? Witness—lndeed, I should. His Honour—l thought so. You would be very pro perly angry. Therefore you have no right to pass your opinion upon gas fittings. Defendant had no witness in the trado present, and his Honour found for plaintiff with costs. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

A FORBEARING PROSECUTOR..—CHARGE Or ASSAULT, ROBBERY, AND DAMAGE.—John Gleeson and John Kay, two shoemakers, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a quartern of rum, assaulting Mr. Pech, licensed victualler, of 356, Oxford•street, and also with breaking a plate of engraved glass, value 50s. Mr. Pech said two men came in the previous night and asked for a quartern of rum and hot water, but finding they had no money to pay it, he told them to leave the house, putting the glass inside the counter. As soon as his back was turned, Kay took up the glass and drank the contents. He then tried to put them out, and in the struggle Gleeson came behind him and seized him, and broke the pane of glass of the value of 50s. Mr. Beadon told the prisoners that after assaulting the landlord they had broken a plate of glass. Prosecutor said he did not wish to press the charge. Mr. Beadon asked why he brought the charge there then. Prosecutor said if they had the means of paying ho would let them pay, but if they had not he should be sorry to lock them up for any time. He did not - wish to press the charge. Mr. Beadon asked the prosecutor why he had given the police the trouble if he did not mean to press the charge. Prosecutor asked if he might put a sovereign into the poor-box. Mr. Beadon said he could do so if he pleased, but the absurdity was the bringing the men there if he did not mean to press it. He would be served tie same way again. H e should, as prosecutor wished it, discharge the men. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER,-- Henry Rushbrook, late town traveller in the employ of Mr. William Ward, drysalter, of West Bromwich, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to about £3O. Mr. Beard, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and on the first examination produced evidence which made out that the prisoner had been employed by Mr. Ward since August last, at a salary of three guineas per week, and that his sole duty was to obtain orders for goods, and not to receive any money. He had, however, asked for and received the accounts of seven customers, and never ac coented for the same. Mr. Barton, of Fore-street, Cripple gate, the prosecutor's London manager, had not waited on all the customers, and was afraid snore defalcations would be discovered. T 4 prisoner had admitted receiving money of three customers, and said that he had lost it, and Mr. Yardley was of opinion these cases would fail if sent before a jury, but there were four others, and the amount received in those cases on which the prisoner was remanded amounted to about £l3. Mr. Beard now said that, with the consent of the magis trate, the prosecutor would abandon the charge against the prisoner, who had forwarded to Mr. Ward a letter, of which the following is a copy : " House of Detention, Jan. 11, 1861. " Mr. IV. Ward : Dear sir,—l take the liberty of writ ing to you, and to ask you to forego any further proceedings against me, in consequence of my poor wife and family. I acknowledge myself in the wrong, but it was no fault of mine in losing the money, and this never would have happened had I not wrote to you about Mr. Barton, the letter you returned. Since that time he had made up his mind to get rid of me. Even Mrs. B. has not spoken to me. Had he paid me my last week's wages this would not have happened, and you would not have known it. If I should be able at any time after this to serve you in the London trade I will do so. I must conclude by leaving myself in your hands, and remain, your obedient servant, " H. RUSHBROOK." Mr. Beard—ln consideration of the man's wife and family, Mr. Ward will withdraw from the prosecution, if it meets with your worship's concurrence. Mr. Yardley—Very well. The prisoner is discharged. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CAMILLA. ADMIRALTY, JAN. 14. From the accounts received at the Admiralty by the last China mail, there seems to be little doubt that her Majesty's ship Camilla must have foundered at sea. It appears that she left Hakodadi on the Ist of September, for Kanagawa, the port of Yeddo, and that between that day and the 9th of September the day on which the heavy gale passed over Yeddo, light southerly winds prevailed, so that she had not probably made much progress to the south when lost. Her Majesty's steam vessel Berenice, of the Indian navy, proceeded along the coast from Kana gawa to Hakodadi, and back, between the 24th of September and 11th of October, but failed in p-o -curing any intelligence of the Camilla from the numerous fishing-boats, or in discovering any por tion of the wreck. A report had reached Vice- Admiral Hope that the unfortunate vessel was seen from a Prussian vessel-of-war to strike on a rock in a fresh breeze and go down. This report would be traced to its source, but the Admiral is firmly con vinced that she foundered at sea in the typhoon which prevailed on the Japanese coast on the 9th of September. ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON . AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday morning at an early hour an accident of a very serious nature occurred near Harrow, by which several passengers were severely injured, and some of the rolling stock destroyed. The train to which the accident happened was the up limited mail from the north, due at the Euston square Station at 437 a.m. It would seem that when the train was within a short distance of Har row, on the Pinner side, from some cause or other at present unexplained, a composite carriage was thrown off the line on its side. Fortunately it con tained only four passengers, of whom two were ladies and one a gentleman, and in the end com partment, which is a second-class, was one pas senger, a Mr. Craig, a gentleman from Glasgow. The train was stopped as speedily as possible, and every assistance was at once given to the unfortu nate passengers, who were extricated from their perilous position with all speed, and attended to. One of the ladies had her arm fractured. Mr. Craig , was in a very bad state, and was immediately sent up to town and removed to an hotel, where it was found that his left leg was seriously fractured, and that he was otherwise seriously injured. His case is considered a bad one. Fortunately the other passengers were not injured. The carriage is very much damaged, and although it is impossible to say positively, yet it is believed that the accident was caused by the breaking either of an axle or a tire. The wheels of one of the carriages were broken from the frame, and no doubt contributed to the serious consequences of the accident. During the day it was found necessary to amputate the injured leg of Mr. Craig. The operation was performed by Dr. Ferguson, assisted by another eminent surgeon and by the medical officer of the company (Mr. Skeldin). The name of the lady who was so serious a sufferer has not been ascertained, but the gentle man who accompanied her is Mr. William Tait, engineer, of Glasgow. It is but justice to the company to state that the managers of the company have, since the frost set in, taken every possible precaution to prevent acci dent by increasing the number of stoppages, allow ing additional time in the running of the more important of the through trains, and directing a more severe examination of the state of the rolling stock in its progress over the line. Extra carriage and waggon examiners have been appointed at various places on the railway, in order that minute and close inspection of the wheels, tires, springs, &c., of vehicles may be made, and a special order has been issued that station-masters at whose sta tions examiners are placed must see that the most careful examination is made, and that all possible exertion must be observed in avoiding any undue delay to the trains. With respect to the extra time allowed for mail and fast trains, it may be stated that the following down trains, viz., 7.25 a.m. Irish day mail train from London ; 8.25 p.m. Irish night mail, and 9 p.m. auxiliary night mail, have been allowed 15 minutes additional from Euston to Stafford, and 15 minutes additional from Stafford to Holyhead. The 9.0 a.m. Scotch day mail from London ; the 8.40 p.m. Scotch limited mail, and , the 9.15 p.m. Scotch auxiliary mail. have 15 minutes additional from Easton to Stafford, and 25 minutes additional from Stafford to Carlisle. The 11.30 a.m. express from London has an . additional 10 minutes from Euston to Rugby ; and the 5.15 p.m. express from London, 15 minutes from Euston to Birmingham. The 2.45 p.m. express and the 5.0 p.m. express from London have 20 minutes additional from Euston to Stafford, and 10 minutes from Stafford to Liverpool and Manchester. The up mail and express trains have an equal additional allowance of time for the purpose of securing the utmost possible amount of safety. Appended to the instructions specially issued to all the working officers of the line is that they are " to exercise the greatest vigilance and render all th 9 assistance they can in taking the necessary precautions for the safe working of the line ;" and the particular " attention of platelayers is called to rule 341 in the book of rules and regu lations, which requires them closely to inspect the rails, keys, &c., and to see that the gauge is correct and the road in good condition." It is very evi dent that the London and North-Western execu tive are doing their utmost to preve nt accident. The members for Birminghain—Mr. Scholefield and Mr. Bright, are invited to meet their constituents in the Town-hall, Birmingham, on the evening of Tuesday the 29th blatant. ~'~~ YL Atlantic St Lawrence l Bom.,Barodact.Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent........

The Prussian Gazette publishes the following : "It will be a consolation to my people, in their just sorrow on account of the decease of the King my beloved brother, to know the good thoughts and desires which he wrote with his own hand, in contemplation of death. Accordingly I desire that these last wishes, dated the 6th of August, 1854, should be immediately made public. " WILLIAM." The Royal document which is referred to in the preceding note is as follows : "Charlottenburg, the day of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ, August 6, 1854. " How I wish to be interred. " If God thn Lord decree that I terminate my terrestrial career peaceably in my country, and if, which I fervently entreat of Him on my knees, my tender and beloved Elise shall survive me, this paper is to be delivered to her imme diately after my death. Whatever she shall change shall be executed as if that were written here ; her order shall be mine. Moreover, I wish one day to repose by her side, in the same tomb, as near to her as possible. " As soon as my decease shall have been certified by the physicians, I wish my body to be washed and opened. My heart, deposited in a large heart formed of granite from the country of Marche, and placed at the entrance of the vault in the mausoleum of Charlottenburg (and consequently at the feet of my Royal parents), shall be enclosed in the ground and covered by it. My resting place shall be the Church of Peace, before the' steps which lead to the holy table, between the marble pulpit and the commencement of tho seats, on the left (on the right of the altar) of the line of the middle of the body of the church, in such a manner that one day the Queen may repose on my right. The space indicated in all its breadth from our church seat as far as those opposite, as well as the intervals between the public seats up to the pillars of the ehoirPhhall be paved afresh in marble, from the funds which I shall leave, in the simplest manner, but in harmony with the floor and with the holy table. Immediately above my tomb shall be placed an ob long slab of white marble, flat, level with the pavement of the church, and similar to the two slabs of the mausoleum of Charlottenburg. There shall be engraven upon it the monogram of Christ, with the following inscription : " Here lies in God his Saviour, with the hope of a bliss ful resurrection and of a merciful judgment, depending solely on the merits of Jesus Christ our Divine Redeemer, the late, &c: " At my interment there shall be observed the same cere mony as that used for the King my deceased father. The funeral shall take place at the cathedral of Berlin if I die in the neighbourhood of Berlin; but if I die in the vicinity of Potsdam it shall be solemnized in the Church of Poace,netvr Sans-Souci. "As soon as the termination of my life shall have been ascertained by the physicians,there shall be sent 150 thalers of gold to the poor of the cathedral, in accordance with my own custom every time that I receive the holy sacrament at Easter. The same sum shall also be placed at the disposal of the other churches where I have communicated, for their poor ; that is to say, the Church of Peace, the parish church of Ermansdorff, the cathedral church of Spandau, the Evangelical church of Fischbach, and the church of the Oratoire of Paris." ELECTORAL VACANCIES SINCE JAY, 1860. The changes that have taken place in the House of Com mons since the commencement of last year have been un. usually numerous.

There are now four seats vacant. Conservative candi. dates are certain to replace the late Conservative members in Aberdeenshire and Pembrokeshire, w hilst we think it highly probable that a Constitutionalist may gain the seat lately held by the Radicals at Leiceste r ; of South Wiltshire we are not at present able to speak with. certainty. Taking into account the foregoing, the following i s a t present the composition of the lions° of Commons :—. Conservatives .. • • • • • • 303 Peelites .. • • 14 239 Whigs .. • • • • • • • • Ultra-Radicals ' • • .. .. 93 The Conservatives. thus, singly, out-number Lord Pal merston an d his Whigs by 61 votes, so that his tottering M i n i s try is ordy propped up by an unnatural junction with the Democratic party.
