As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attained in the present year, so it happens that the largest Profit which it has ever 'alien to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced.

British Association for the Advancement of Science. : BATH, Tuesday. From the number of arrivals yesterday and to-day it may now be fairly anticipated that the meeting of the Associa tion in this city will be most successful. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon nearly 1,500 tickets had been sold—a consi derably larger number than has hitherto been issued on the day before the proceedings commence. The demand for hotel accommodation and private lodgings has been great, but fortunately for strangers Bath, unlike many other places visited by this association, has this recommendation, that it has always a large number of spacious and elegant apart ments available for almost any number of visitors. Prices have not therefore been excessive, and every possible faci lity has been afforded by the excellent system of registration both for extent of accommodation and price established at the Reception-room. Great interest appears to be attached to the inaugural address of Sir Charles Lyell, the new President. which will be delivered to-morrow evening, and which it is expected will make special reference to the thermal and mineral waters of Bath. Naval and Military Intelligence. The quarterly examinations for September at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, of candidates for naval cadet ships has been brought to a conclusion, and the following list of successful candidates was promulgated at the College yesterday, the candidates passing in order of merit accord ing to the number against their name on the list.

Warleigh 7 Herbert Swire The French Imperial screw yacht Prince Jerome, with Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde and suite on board, sailed from Spithead on Monday evening and arrived at Havre yesterday morning. At the conclusion of the visit of the Prince and Princess to Portsmouth dockyard on Monday they honoured the French Vice Consul, the Che valier Van den Bergh, with their presence at luncheon at his residence, Rolland House, Southsea. After luncheon the Prince and Princess embarked in the Imperial twin screw barge La Mouche, paid a short visit to the Excellent gunnery ship and witnessed some blank practice from her 12 ton guns, and afterwards returned to the Prince Jerome in La Mouche. No intimation had been given of the Prince's intended visit to the authorities, official or otherwise, and the Prince and Princess were therefore received on landing without any of the ceremony or honours usually accorded to their rank. The Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards is expected to leave the Sheet-street barracks, Windsor, for the Tower of London to-morrow.

The progress of the Life LIFE Br ß anc N h, CH as shown by the New Business transacted in tke last year, is most promising, and The advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, sh .w clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last five years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies atter deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent, on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as larger than any which could have been reasonably expected. The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju' . t quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour.. able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is conclud :d.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDISESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1864. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which had ranged in August above 1,400 weekly, declined to 1,352 in the week that ended last Saturday. Tho deaths of persons under 20 years of age fell from 800 and upwards to 752. The average number of deaths in the 30th week of the 10 years, 1854-63, is, with the exclusion of death from epide mic cholera in 1854, and with a correction for increase of population, 1,211. But the actual number returned for last week exhibits an excess of 140 above the number thus esti mated. Diarrhoea has now peroeptibly decreased. Ik rose to ils maximum in the first week in August, when the deaths from it were 286 ; in the last week of that month they were 180, and last week 132, The mean temperature of the air in the first week of August was 65 deg, last week it was 61.1 deg. Five deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster; four in that of St. John, Mary lebone; four in that of Tottenham-court-road; four in Islington West; four in Haggerstono West, The total number from scarlatina was 73. There were 53 fatal cases of measles, five of which were in Limehouse, 11 in the district of Poplar, in which also there were 10 of typhus ; 17 deaths from typhus occurred in Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich. At 5, Storer-street, Mile-end, a sempstress, aged 24 years, died from effusion on the chest, accelerated by overwork and want of necessaries. A painter, aged 54 years, died from fever and cerebral disease, caused by exposure to the sun's heat when at his work. A woman died of rheumatic fever, caused by the damp of a newly-built house. A charwoman died at 111, Tyers-street, Lambeth, on the Bth Sept., at the age of 101 years. Last week the births of 954 boys and 936 girls, in all 1,939 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average number (corrected) was 1852. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 805 in. Th© reading was 29.55 in. on Sunday, and rose to 29.92 in. on Monday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 6PI deg, which is 3.2 deg% above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The lowest night temperature was 48 . 4 deg. on Tuesday. The highest day temperature was 75.5 deg. on Thursday, The range of tem perature in the week was therefore 27 , 1 deg. The mean daily range was 14.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76, complete saturation being represented by 100. The humidity was only 69 on Monday, when the wind was in the north-west. It rose to 91 on the following day, when the wind was in the south-west, from which point the wind continued to blow during the remainder of the week. Rain fell to the amount of 0.39 in. A quarter inch fell on Tuesday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 62 deg. 7 min.; that of the lowest was GO deg. 4 min. The births (this return is supplied by the Registrar General of Ireland) registered in Dublin during the Reek ending the 10th September was 152, and the deaths were 99, in a population of 254,&8 (in 1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The deaths in Vienna as returned by Dr Glatter were 273 in the week ending the 3d of September, when the mean temperature was 58 deg. 8 min., that of Greenwich having been 60 deg. 3 min. Murder and Attempted Suicide. PRESTON, Thursday. Between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning a dreadful tragedy was perpetrated by a man named William Berry, miller, of 29, Ormskirk-road, in this town. Since Whitsuntide the man has been in a desponding state, partly through business affairs, and to some extent through certain family matters. He seems to have been jealous of his wife, although, it is believed, he had no reason whatever to be so. On Monday, Berry and his wife took lodgings in Ormskirk-road, and their children, two in number, were removed to some of their relatives. Early this morning the woman was heard screaming, and it was subsequently discovered that the had been stabbed in several places about her breast, and that her throat had been cut near the centre. Her windpipe was cut completely through ; she bled very profusely, and died about half an hour after she was found. It seems also that Berry made an attempt upon his life. He was found sitting on a bed in his lodgings, with his throat cut, and the latest repor's are to the effect that he is not likely to survive. The following evidence has been prepared by the police, preparatory to the cfficial inquiry, which will be held to morrow : Edward Leach, of 29, Ormskirk-road, says,—About half past 5 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning I heard a scream in the room where the deceased and her husband were sleep ing. I immediately got out of bed and went to their room and saw the deceased at the window. Her husband was on the side of the bed, and I seized hold of him. Directly I took hold of him he made a stab at his own throat with a pocket knife. He made several stabs at his threat. He said, "Let me do it quietly, Ned." Henry Ashworth, a brewer. said,—l was in Biehopgate this (Tuesday) morning, at half-past 5 o'clock, when I heard a woman screaming. I immediately ran into Ormskirk road, where I saw the deceased, and got hold of her. She was bleeding from the throat. I put one of my hands to her throat, and placed the other round her waist, and then called for assistance. Soon afterwards I got her into the house. I asked her who had been doing this—cutting hex throat. She made an answer and said "My husband." She never afterwards spoke. Matthew Etherington, provision dealer, of 22, Walker street, says—This (Tuesday) morning at half-past 5 I was in Ormskirk-road, when I saw Henry Ashworth, the last ',lances, holding the deceased. She was bleeding very pro fusely from the throat. I helped Ashworth to get her into the house. We got two bandages, and placed them around her throat. We afterwards went upstairs, and I got hold of the deceased's husband. George Guodier, of 23, Everton-gardens, says—While I was in Tithe B arn-street at half-past 5 o'clock this morning I heard cries of " Murder ! I ran up the street, and into Ormskirk-road, and saw the deceased standing at the door of the house No. 29 in that street. She said "Dear me, he is killing more upstairs," I went upstairs with a policeman, and saw her husband. Police -constable Dilworth deposes—At 530 this morning I was in Lancaster• road. I heard cries of " Police, police, make haste." I immediately went into Ormakirk-road, and found the deceased lying on her side at the door of the house No. 29. I asked where the man was, and some person said upstairs. I went into the room and found him in a stoop ing position, Edward Leach had hold him. I seized the man's arm, and took a pocket knife out of his hand. The knife was covered with blood. Inspector Hornby said—l thrived at the scene of the murder about half-past 6 o'clock, along with Inspecter Wray. I found the deceased lying on the sofa. I imme diately went upstairs. I saw her husband sitting on the bed. His throat was cut. Inspector Wray gave me a handkerchief, and I tied it around the man's throat. Wray and I then sent for doctors, and at 6 o'clock Mr W. H. Spencer, surgeon, arrived. While I was in the room the deceased's husband said to me, "That's you, Hornby; I know you." I said, " What made you do this, Will?" He answered, "It was through some men being in the house last night." I mentioned the name of a man named Wilkinson, a miller, as being one of them, and he said "No." While we were at the house Mr Superintendent Dunn arrived, and made all necessary inquiries. This morning Berry was visited by Father de Pietro. He expressed his sorrow to the rev. gentleman for what he had done, and said that he knew he had committed a murder. The deceased, as we have already intimated, was the mother of two children, and she was expected to be shortly confined of a third. How SPIDERS FLY.—Although spiders are not provided wings, and consequently are incapable of flying, in the strict sense of the word, yet, by the aid of their silken filaments, numerous species, belonging to va rious genera, are enabled to accomplish distant journeys through the atmosphere. These aerial excursions, which appear to result from an instinctive desire to migrate, are undertaken when the weather is bright and serene, parti cularly in autumn, both by adult and immature individuals, and aro effected in the folloWing manner. After climbing to the summits of different objects, they raise themselves still higher by straightening the limbs ; then elevating the abdosnen by bringing it from the usual horizontal position into one almost perpendicular, they emit from the spin ners a small quantity of viscid fluid, which is drawn out into fine lines by the ascending current, occasioned by the rarefaction of the air contiguous to the heated ground. Against there lines the current of rarefied air impinges, till the animals, feeling themselves acted upon with sufficient force, quit their hold of the ob. jects on which they stand, and mount aloft. . Th e manner in which the lines are carried out from a current of air appears to be this. As a preparatory measure the spin ning mammu'to are brought into close contact, and viscid matter is emitted from the papillae ; they are then separated by a lateral motion, which extends the viscid matter into fine filaments connecting the papillm ; on these filaments the current impinges, drawing thorn out to a length which io reaulated by the will of the animal, and on the maunnu!co being again brought together, the filaments coalesce and form a compolUld Plackwal s Rotor!, of Spiders, PRICE STAMPED ..M. The West India and Pacific Mails, SOUTIIAINIFTON, Tuesday Night. The Royal Mail Company's screw steamship Tasmanian, Capt. T. W. Sawyer (lieutenant Royal Naval Reserve), arrived at 8 30 p.m. She brings 82 passengers, 2,186,677 dols. in specie (of which 1,208,906 dots. are gold and 977,771 dols. silver), diamonds, &c. (value 8,370 dols.), and a full gene ral cargo. The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the 30th ult., and has had variable winds and weather on the pas sage. In lat. 47 46 N., long. 10 30 W., she spoke the bark Hebe ; and in lat. 48 21 N., long. 84 47 W., the British ship Fel wood, both outward bound. Her Majesty's ships Charybdis and Chameleon were at Panama; the Pylades at Barbadoes; the Styx on a cruise; the Greyhound was expected at Barbadoes from Berbiee at the time of the packet leaving ; the Aboukir, Barracouta, Petrel, and gun• boat Nimble were at Port Royal, Jamaica. The Spanish war steamer Pizarro was at St. Thomas. The screw steam yacht Midge, It. T. Y. C, (Mr S. Pittar, owner), arrived at St. Thomas from the Spanish main on the 20th of August, and was under steam homewardbound when the Tasmanian sailed. Yellow fever was prevalent among the shipping at Demerara ; upwards of 60 men in hospital. The master and seven of the crew of the Indian Chief were dead. Rain at all the islands, and very' heivk we4ther experienced by the mail steamer Conway between Barbadoes and St. Kitts. Sickness on the increase at St. Thomas on shore, but the shipping continues healthy. A slight shock of earthquake was felt at Jamaica on the 23d of August, but without any damage. JA➢iAICA.—The ceremony of the inauguration of his Excellency Governor Eyre took place on the 23d of August. The oaths were administered by Sir Bryan Edwards, Chief Justice, after which the Right Rev. Bishop Courtenay presented an address from the various clergy of the island, which was feelingly responded to by his Excellency. Trade in general was in a depressed condition. Exchange on London, 90 days, 1 per cent. ; 60 days, 11, per cent.'; 30 days, 2 per cent. TRINIDAD.—The cane cultivation looked very promising, and planters anticipated good returns for 1865. Freights, 2s 3d for molasses, 2s 6d for sugar, and 2s 9d for cocoa. Exchange, 90 days, 487 dole; 60 days, 490 dols ; 30 days, 493 dols. Trade rather dull. Preparations were being made to give a cordial reception to his Excellency Gover nor Sutton, who succeeds Governor Keats in the administration, BARBADOES.—Throughout the island the crops of canes were in first rate condition. Shipments of sugar to date 32,296 hogsheads, 2,597 tierces, 5,230 barrels, 2,028 bags ; molasses, 381 hogsheads, 9,296 puncheons, 389 barrels; rum, 71 puncheons. GRENADA.—Trade had somewhat improved dur ing the fortnight. The sugar crop for the season will be about 6,000 hogsheads; cocoa, 8,000 bags ; cotton, 800 bales. _ _ From Mexico we learn that the Emperor Maxi milian had invited Juarez and other Liberal chiefs to come to the city of Mexico to consult together on a plan for restoring peace and the firm establish ment of the empire, guaranteeing them full protec tion and safety. They refused to accede to this request. Juarez's answer had been published. ST LUClA..—During the fortnight, owing to re freshing showers, a decided change for the better was visible in the young canes throughout the island. Business very dull, the crop being over. But little money in circulation, and the banks are charging 4821 do's per £lOO sterling for thtir 90 days' bills. llum—Stocks heavy, but very little demand. No news of importance has been received from the South Pacific. From Peru we learn that in consequence of the inactivity of the Court of Aledrid in reference to the seizure of the Chiecha Islands, several members of the Ministry at Lima had resigned, and on the Ilth of August a new Cabinet was formed, by which it is hoped that more energy will be displayed in the matter, and that a better feeling will he felt between Congress and the Government. The icon-plated monitor Victoria was launched on the 30th of July.

On Sunday morning, August 28, there occurred at Toronto one of the most destructive fires with which that city has been visited f or a l eng th o f time. The fire originated at the Grand Trunk Wh ar f an d Elevator, which were com pletely destroyed, with some 50,000 bushels of grain and 400 barrels of flour. Th e G/ o b o says —" The Grand Trunk Wharf extended out from the Esplanade between Peter and Brook streets. It was without exception the finest and most substantial wharf in Toronto harbour, and was erected two years ago at a cost of about 25,000 dols. The capacious flour shed, capable of c ontaining several thousand barrels of flour, was put up only a few months ago at a exit of between 5,000 and 6,000 dole. These losses, are, however, but trifling, compared with that of the Elevator. This fine building—one of the beet of the kind in the province— was constructed at the same time as the wharf, the whole having been built by Mr Sheddon, who subsequently dis posed of the wharf to the Grand Trunk Railway Company. The Elevator, though known as the Grand Trunk Elevator, was the property of Mr Sheddon. Its actual cost at the time of its erection was 50,000 dole, but it has been recently considerably altered and improved at an additional outlay of several thousand dollars. Fortunately for . Mr Sheddon the building will not be a total loss, as he had an insurance of 35,000 dole on it in the following companies :-21,000 dole in the Liverpool and London, 8,000 dole in the North British, rand 16,000 dols is the Liverpool and Lancashire. The loss sustained by the Grand Trunk Company in the wharf will be covered by the insurance fund of the com pany. In the Elevator at the time of its destruction there were about 45,000 or 50,000 bushels of grain, divided as follows :—Oats about 35,000, corn about 15,000, wheat about 6,000. This, so far as we could learn, was owned by various shipping firms in this city and elsewhere, and was partially covered by insurance, though to what extent we are not informed. The following are the names of the principal sufferers :—Erwin and Sloan, and Cheney and Ames, Os wego ; and W. D. Matthews and S. A. Oliver, Toronto. Mr Oliver lost about 5,800 bushels of oats, on which he had, though at very much less Eta can at present we believe, an insurance of 1,208 dole. In the flour shed there was fortunately a small quantity of flour, less than 400 barrels, whereas there are sometimes as many thousands. Messrs Gooderham and Worsts lost 127 barrels, Mr W. p. Howland 200, and Mr P, Payland 10. Most of the flour, we were informed, was insured, ebuofttah numbers ef ey we 7 a o wri o : o : o k fsa rs dole. igigo than its value.

Ps) the pri nc ip a l o f th e l a b or atory of the Inl and Revenue D epartment, reports that in the last financial year 26 samples of beer and of maßterAiDalsßfoEuEnßcl."—Mr Philli ps, the possession of licensed brewers have n addition, tob acco ; i n t wo present in lar ge an d d angerous quantities; two samples contained s i bean analysed, and o f these 20 w ere found to be illicit ; the pro hibit e d ingredients, in 1 4 sampled, grains of paradise, capsicum ; and the re maining two proto-sulphate of iron. G enera lly th e pro o one t other of c uttohceosel samples i s hibited materials employed in the a d u l teration of beer are not injurious to health, the object of th e f raudu ' ent brewers or retailers of beer being more to increase the b u lk o f their indicus conta i n ing, wasp goods than to render the b eer stupefyi ng b y the add i t i on of noxious materials. Still, he says, there can be little doubt that the practice of adulterating beer with poisonous matters, such as tobacco and c occu l us indicus, is more prevalent than might be inferred from the smaller number of detections made, al the fraud is difficult to discover unless the offender be caught in the act of committing it. Considering, therefore, this circumstance, and the abominable character of the offence, Mr Phillips is of opinion that it would be only just to the community to make public the names of those persons convicted of adding cocoulous indicus or other deleterious substances to beer brewed for sale; and he feels no hesitation in stat ing that the two instances of the use of the dangerous drug in question occurred in th e ne i g hb our h oo d o f Wirksworth,. in Derbyshire, and th a t many of the detec tions of the use of grains of paradise were also made in the same district. He states also that the experience of many years has led him to the concluedon that the adul teration of beer with drugs, as distinguished from the mere dilution or increasing of the bulk of the article, is more prevalent in the Midland Counties and the West Riding of Yorkshire than ill any other parts of the kingdom. Agriculture and Free Trade. The Marquis of Normanby presided at the dinner given in connection with th e 32d runnel show of the Whitby Agricultural Society on Wednesday last, and among those who took part in the proceedings and addressed the assembly were the Hon. IV. E. Duncombe and Mr Merritt, the Par liamentary representatives for the North Riding of York shire. The speeches were more or less complimentary, but they were appropriate to the occasion, and had special re ference to the agricult ura l ex hibi tion and society with which they were associated. In the course of his remarks when returning thanks to the toast of the two members, air Duncombe, who formerly was opposed to free trade, acknowledged that agriculture had benefited, along with tho general trade of the country, from our present commercial policy. The hon. member said that he could not but feel that the agricultural societies gene rally of this country had conferred considerable advantages upon the kingdom at large, as they had been the means of bringing together the best quality and breed of stock and horses to be found anywhere, and they had also infused a spirit of competition and emulation among the agricultural body. These societies, too, were the cause why so many of those valuable agricultural implements were produced, and which had proved of such great use in the carrying out of farming operations, and several of which implements were seen in several instances for the first time at these agricul turals gatherings. They were told that in some parts of the country complaints prevailed at the want of farm labourers, but he did not know whether that complaint prevailed in that district. He believed that there was a want of labour, and that labour was scarce, and therefore it was fortunate at such a time that science had been carried out in agricul tural affairs, and that they were enabled to make use of those excellent machines whereby economy of labour was secured. Upon a recent occasion in returning thanks for the same toast he said that he thought agriculture was not indebted to any Legislative enactments for the success which it ene joyed ; and he believed that all persons present, whatever might be their political opinions, or to whatever profession they might belong, rejoiced in the general prosperity of agriculture and in the increase of the wealth of the country. In speaking of agriculture, he could say that that interest was not jealous of the increased prosperity which had fallen upon the great commercial and trading classes of this coun try. He believed that agriculture had derived benefit from that general increase in the trade of the country, and ho was of opinion that that increased trade might be attributed to the commercial policy which had recently been carried out. Trade had consequently become unshackled to a great exe tent, some of its burdens had been altogether removed and others had been much relieved; and therefore all the agri cultural interest asked was that the Legislature would apply the same system of relief to the farmer, and endeavour to take away some of those burdens which pressed particularly upon the laud. Parliament ought to carry out fairly and fully as respected agriculture the principle which had been established in our commercial system. This was what they asked for, they required nothing more, and ho thought they had a perfect right to ask for such a concession. The pre sent were not occasions for the discussion of party politics, but he thought they might allude to political questions in a quiet way when they related to the welfare of agriculture, and he believed no one who had that interest at heartwould wish to exclude the subject at a meeting of that description. He should endeavour, as he had hitherto done, to promote the best interests of the great community which he repre sented in Parliament, not to look at one interest more than another, his object in the House of Commons being to pro motethe prosperity of the various interests of the:oountry. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. The question of the admissibility of General Langiewicz as a witness at this trial was reopened by M. Janecki, at the sitting of the Uth inst. He pointed out that the grcuud alleged by the Court, at the last sitting, for refusing to take the general's evidence—viz., that he is in the same position as the accused—was incorrect. The fact of his having fought against Russia was no evidence of any trea sonable intent against Prussia; and several of the witnesses called by the prosecution, at this very trial, had acknowledged that they had fought against Russia. If any ground existed for sues petting him of any treasonable act against Prussia, nothing would have been easier than to claim him from the Austrian authorities, and it would have been the duty of the prosecution to do so. As, however, the Court had rejected General Langie wicz as a witness, he submitted that he be examined in writing, informationis causa, only. The evidence of a gentleman of such high character, and one so thoroughly informed of everything relating to the insurrection, must be especially valuable for the purpose of throwing light on the present matter. M. Holthoff added that the business of the defence would be at an end if a witness was rejected when ever the prosecution accused him of being an insur gent, declaring that it would have prosecuted him if it had thought proper. The Crown prosecutor opposed the motion,but did not prosecute Langiewicz, because he supposed the Austrian Government would do so. As regards the insurgents brought forward as witnesses, they were too illiterate to know the objects of the insurrection. After a sharp and somewhat desultory discussion, the President said the Court would shortly announce its decision. Zaleski, a student, and Michalski, a labourer, wore then proposed as witnesses by the defenoe. It ap peared from their evidence that neither of them heard anything of an intention to take Posen from Prussia while they were in the insurgent camp. The decision of the Court respecting General Lan giewicz was then read. It rejected the general's evidence in any shine whatever. A labourer ngened Palezewski was next examined. lie admitted he had been convicted of theft, and added that ho had been with the insurgents and had received three thulers from Z He could no', however, point him out among the accused. The accused M. Jaroczynski was then examined. He said he nas drawing master in the Posen school. He denied having belonged t o any COlL tuittee—he could not explain how it was his name was mentioned among Count Dzialynskt's me- morands. J. MatuEzewski, tailor's foreman, was the IIEI among the accused, the wit nesses against him being two men, Samolic and Przybylski, whom M. Lisieck proved to be untrustworthy. Palezewski was then again brought up to give evidence against 11 Roman Pilaski, who, he said, had warned Polish volunteers of the approach of Prussian troops. After M. Lent had indignantly declared that tLis nitneet3 S PAP E R NEI seu in for Ktituii - ja.) ad been Ar it--,*4\ • • totally untrustworthy, proofs, the sitting.was On the 6th M, Lent )t r rit e • • witness Palczawski h, bnonest the accused to say, on the prec: ng evening, to one of the gaolers, "I almost think I would rather Jlave spoken differently; " to which the gacler rep:ied, "If you had, you would have got--." The Pre. sideut said he would take a note of the fact, and then called the witness Faugeret. Faureget said he wes a Frenchman, and had pro ceeded to Posen as a volunteer for the insurrection, for which purpose he bad received 100 f. from the Polish Committee at Paris. The ohj.2cL of the committees and the subscriptions at Paris was to restore the whole of ancient Poland, including the province of Posen. After a long cress-examination, in which the above were the only important points elicited, the witness requested that he might be allowed time to rest. The accused W. Loncki was then examined on a charge of having collected taxes in the district of I3ukow, founded on the following memorandum of Count I)z;alynski 800 thalers, receipts, Bukow district, from W. Loncki." It appeared, however, from the evidence of Miss E. Szeztuteeke, a lady known and honoured throughout Poland fur her patriotic devotedness, and on whose appearance all the accused stood up, that this sum had been sent by herself to the Count through her nephew, Sigis mund Loncki. M. Brachvogel then read some letters from the witness Faugeret, in which the latter offers to act as a spy and a witness for the prosecution, adding that " he will henceforth serve the Prussian autho— rities with the same zeal as he did on the other side before he knew the Poles." In another letter he says that "he will not spare even his own country men," and concludes with these words—" You may trust my vengeance, which will never be equal to the evil which has been done me." Sigismund Nitzalawski and F. Molinks were examined on the charge of being functionaries of the National Government, their names being men. tioned in the Dzialyneki memoranda. Nothing, however, was established against them, and they were at once liberated, together with W. Loncki. A policeman named Jordens having been brought up to give evidence respecting the revision in the Dz:alynski palace, M. Elven proposed to put some questions to him respecting certain police abuses in which he had taken part, but the Court declared such questions irrelevant, and then closed the sitting. The sitting of the 7th was entirely occupied with the examination of witnesses in the cases of King, Ohnstein, and Hoffman, tradesmen of Posen, charged with having sold arms to the insurgents, and ended with the liberation of Hoffman, Ohnstein, Oberfelt, Kiniewski, and Jaroczynski. Oberfeles shop, however, is still to remain closed. On the Bth two witnesses, named Samolik and zbylski, deposed that the accused Matuszewski, tailor, had incited them to join the insurrection. When cross-examined by the President and M. Lisiecki, however, the former admitted that he had been in prison as a roguo and a vagabond, and the latter that he had robbed Prince RAdZiWiii of a pair of pistols. The President then called the witness raugeret, who admitted that the letters which had been read at the last sitting were his. The Crown prosecutor said that, of course, his proposal to be employed as a spy was rejected by the Prussian authorities. The witness then said he had offered himself as a witness from motives of revenge, he having received no pay from the Poles. A letter from M. Kruger, a high Prussian official, was read, in which ho states he cannot make the witness any offer until he knows the nature of the evidence which would be brought forward, The witness added that at ngth he came to an agreement with M. Kruger, by which all his expenses were to be paid. He had, however, only as yet received his travelling ex. pense2. M. Elven and Professor Guist submitted that this witness be no longer heard. To take the evidence of such a man was mere less of time. The President then said it appeared from a letter from the Foreign Minister to M. Kruger that the witness had been paid during his first visit to Berlin his travelling txpcnses and 10 thalers for five or six days' living ; and ;he Court decided that he should be at once dismissed. The Court then adjourned to the 12;1 inst. The Perfect Partiality of itussellism, From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The last London Gazette contains a notice which, accord ing to the editorial apologists for Earl Russell's mingled craft and weakness, supplies additional and powerful evi dence to the perfect impartiality (sic) observed by her Majesty's Government towards the belligerents in America. What that impartiality has been the public do not need to be told; and wo venture to say that the additional evidence will lead them to a very different conclusion from that which the writer hastens to bespeak, with a suspicion that his case is hollow. The words of the Oazittc notfficattin are these : —" Foreign-office, Sept. B.—lt is hereby notified that hex Majesty has been pleased to order that for the future, tie ship of war belonging to either of the belligerent Powers of North America shall be allowed to enter, or to remain, or be, in any of her Majesty's ports for the purpose of being dismantled or sold ; and her Majesty has been pleased to give directions to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and to the governors of her Majesty's colonies and foreign possessions, to see this order is properly carried into effect," The making of the order applicable to both of the belli. gercnts is altogether too fine a stroke of Russellism. Tht Federals are under no necessity to enter our ports to dis. pose of ships which may not suit their purposes. They wil not be placed under any disability by the regulation. Thei ow n ports are open, and they can sell ships suitable fo: warfare in British harbours, after dismantling them in thei ow , n, or purchase them in England, and equip them else. where. The Confederate Government are differently cir cumstanced, and the Foreign °Moo order is a burden or them alone. Our Ministers have already denied them thi right to buy unarmed ships in British dockyards; now the; are forbidden to sell ships in British ports that have becom. peaceful merchantmen. It is Confederate ownership tha constitutes the offence I If we honestly recognised the right of the parties as belligerents, we should make no distinctio: between dismantting or arming a ship at sea, and goini through those operations in a port belonging to the county , whose flag was carried, The lawyers have been fertile it sophistries to shelter Earl Russell's perfect partiality an will doubtless atempt todefend the new order by some involves ratiocinative process,but the public cannot be mystified abou a matter so palpably capable of ono construction only There is xet another trick in this artful Gazette sentence The regulation is to be applicable " for the future." What, then, about the case of the Georgia? We are BEllli-Offi cially informed that the notification has been put in thi form in order not to bar the " legal rights" of the Britis owner who purchased that vessel in a British port, frox Confederate vendors. It is not at all meant, however, tilt those rights will be recognised by the Government, and demand preferred for the restoration of that vessel. Tb Times is authorised to state that they have "declined t interfere in the case of the steamer Georgia, seized off Lit bon by the Federal frigate Niagara. It is difficult to under stand what legal rights remain to the owner under thes circumstances, The Americans have seized his ship; the have taken it to New York ; they will condemn it on thei own principles ; and what remedy will the British purchase have, now that the Government deny him that protectice to which he had a double claim in consequence of the pre cautions he took when applying. for a British register ? I will be remembered that Mr. Bates before completing th purchase, wrote to the Custom-house authorities at Livet pool to ascertain whether he would be proceeding legally i c bu a y r i a n c gt r t th atverse),fo ant ohernddinisamry in ant e le r d ch a a n n d t rsehsitp.

The Foreign-di :e now turns its back ups all this, and with au effrontery unparalleled even in Ea Russell's administration, " declines to interfere." Ti "new order" is intended to make that prostration before tt Federal Government more completely satisfactory to II oljeets of his unworthy timidity.
