expected that this arduous service will be completed in season to enable me to communicate the result to Con gress at the present sessi,,n. THE INDIAN TRIBES. Our relations with the Indian tribes are of a favour able character. The policy of removing them to a coun try designed for their permenant residence, west of the Mississippi, and without the limits of the organised states and teritories, is better appreciated by them than it was a few years ago ; while education is now attended to, and the habits of civilised life are gaining ground among them. Serious difficulties of long standing continue to distract the several parties into which the Cherokees are unhap pily divided.3The efforts of the Government to adjust the difficulties between them have heretofore proved unsuc cessful ; and there remains no probability that this desir able object can be accomplished without the aid of fur ther legislation by Congress. I will at an early period of your session, present the subject for your conside ration, accompanied with an exposition of the com plaints and claims of the several parties into which the nation is divided, with a view to the adoption of such measures by Congress as may enable the Executive to do justice to them respectively, and to put an end, if pos sible, to the dissensions which have long prevailled, and still prevail among them THE NAVY. I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Navy for the present condition of thakbranch of the national defence; and for grave suggestions, having for their ob ject the increase of its efficiency and a greater economy in its management. The orders which have been given have been executed with promptness and fidelity. A larger force than has often formed one squadron under our flag was readily concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico, and apparently without unusual effort. It is especially to be observed, that, notwithstanding the union of so considerable a force, no act was committed that even the jealousy of an irritated power could construe as an act of aggression • and that the comman d er o f t h e squadron and'his Officers, in strict conformity with their instructions, holding:themselves ever ready for the most active duty, hare achieved the still purer glory of con tributing to the . preservation of peace. It is believed that at all our foreign stations the honour of our flag has been maintained, and that, generally, our ships of war have been distinguished for their good discipline and order. lam happy to add, that the display of maritime force which was required by the events of the summer has been made wholly within the usual appropriations for the service of the year, so that no additional appro priations are required. The commerce of the United States, and with it the navigating interest, have steadily and rapidly increased since the organisation of our Government, until it is believed we are now second to but one in power in the world, and at no distant day we shall probably be in ferior to none. Exposed as they must be, it has been a wise policy to afford to these important interests pro tection with our ships of war, distributed in the great highways of trade throughout the world. For more than thirty years appropriations have been made, and annually expended, for the gradual increase of our naval forces. In peace, our navy performs the important duty of pro tecting our commerce; and, in the event of war, will be, as it has been, a most efficient means of defence. The successful use of steam navigation on the ocean has been followed by the introduction of war steamers in great and increasing numbers into the navies of the principal maritime powers of the world. A due regard to our own safety and to an efficient protection to our large and increasing commerce demands a cor responding increase on our part. No country has greater facilities for the construction of vessels of this description than ours, or can promise itself greater ad vantages from their employment. They are admirably adapted to the protection of our commerce, to the rapid transmission of intelligence, and to the coast de fence. In pursuance of the wise policy of a gradual in crease of our navy, large supplies of live oak timber and other materials for ship-building have been collected, and are now under shelter, and in a state of good pre servation, while iron steamers can be built with g reat facility in vario us p ar t s o f t h e U n i on. Th e use of iron as a material, especially in the construction of steamers, which can enter with safety many of the harbours along our coast now inaccessible to vessels of greater draught, and the practicability of constructing them in the inte rior, strongly recommends that liberal appropriations should be made for this important object. Whatever may have been our policy in the earlier stages of the government, when the nation was in its infancy, our shipping interests and commerce comparatively small, our resources limited, our population spare, and scarcely extending beyond the limits of the original thirteen States, that policy must be essentially different now that we have grown from three to more than twenty millions of people ; that our commerce, carried in our own ships, is found in every s e a, an d t h at our ter ritorial boundaries and settlements have been so greatly expanded. Neither our commerce, nor our long line of coast on the ocean and on the lakes, can be successfully defended against foreign ag gression by means of fortifications alone. These aro essential at important commercial and military points, but our chief reliance for this object must be a well organised and efficient navy. The benefits resulting from such a navy are not confined to the Atlantic states. The productions of the interior, or which seek a market abroad, are directly dependent on the safety and freedom of our commerc. The occupation of the Belize below New Orleans by a hostile force would embarrass, if not stagnate, the whole export trade of the Mississippi, and affect the value of the agricultural products of the entire valley of that mighty river and its tributaries. It has never been our policy to maintain large stand ing armies in time of peace. They are contrary to the genius of free institutions, would impose heavy burdens on the people, and be dangerous to public liberty. Oar reliance for protection and defence on the land must be mainly on our citizen soldiers, who will be ever ready, as they have ever been ready in times past, to rush with alacrity, at the call of their country, to her defence. This description of force, however, cannot defend our coasts, harbours, and inland seas, nor protect our com merce on the ocean or the lakes. These must be pro tected by our navy. Considering an increased naval force, and especially of steam-vessels, corresponding with our growth and importance as a nation, and proportioned to the in creased and increasing naval power of other nations, of vast importance as regards our safety, and the great and growing interests to be protected by it, I recom mend the subject to the favourable consideration of Congress. THE POST OFFICE. The report of the Postmaster-General, herewith com municated, contains a detailed statement of the opera tions of his department during the past year. It will be seen that the income from postages will fall short of the expenditures fur the year between one and two mil lions of dollars. This deficiency has been caused by the reduction of the rates of postage ' which was made by the Act of the 3d o f M arc h last. No principle has been more generally acquiesced in by the people than that this department should sustain itself by limiting its ex penditures to its income. Congress has never sought to make it a source of reven .10 for general purposes, except for a short period during the last war with Great Britain, nor should it ever become a charge on the general trea sury. If Congress shall adhere to this principle, as I think they ought, it will be necessary either to curtail the present mail service, so as to reduce the expendi tures, or so to modify the Act of the 31 of March last as to improve its revenue. The extension of the mail service, and the additional facilities which will be de manded by the rapid extension and increase of popula tion on our western frontier, will not admit of such cur tailment as will materially reduce the present expendi tures. In adjustment of the tariff of postages the inte rests of the people demand that the lowest rates be adopted which will produce the necessary revenue to meet the expenditures of the department. I invite the attention of Congress to the suggestions of the Post master-General on the subject, and the belief that such a modification of the late law may be made as will yield sufficient revenue without further calls on the Treasury, and with little change in the present rates of postage. Proper measures have been taken, in pursuance of the Act of 3d of March last, for the establishment of lines of mail steamers between this and foreign countries. The importance of this service commends itself strongly to favourable consideration. With the growth of our country, the public busines s which devolves on the h ea d s o f the several executive departments has greatly increased. In some respects the distribution of duties among them seems to be incon gruous, and many of these might be transferred from one to another with advantage to the public interest. A more auspicious time for the consideration of this sub ject, by Congress, with a view to system in the organisa tion of the several departments, and a more appropriate division of the public business, will not probably occur. MISCELLANEOUS. The most important duties of the State department re late'to our foreign affairs. By the great enlargement of the family of nations, the increase of our commerce, and the corresponding extension of our consular system, the buthieee of this department has been greatly increased. In its present organisation, many duties of a domestic natai - e, and consisting of details, are devolved on the Secretary of State, which do not appropriately belong to the foreign department of the Government, and may properly be transferred to some other department. One of these grows out of the present state of the law con cerning the Patent.offic e , which, a few years since, was a subordinate clerkship, but has become a distinct bureau of great importance. With an excellent internal orga nisation it is still connected with the State department. In the transaction of its business, questions of much im portance to inventors, and to the community, frequently arise, which, by existing laws, are referred for decision to a board, of which the Secretary of State is a member. These questions are legal, and the connexion which now exists between the State department and the Patent office ma , with great p ro priety and a d vantage, be trans y ferred to the Attorney-General. In his last annual Message to Congress, Mr. Madison invited attention to a proper provision for th e Attor ney General as an "important improvement in the exe cutive establishment." This recommendation was repeated by some of his successors. The official duties of the Attorney-General have been much increased within a few years, and his office has become one of great importance. His duties may be still further increased with advantage to the public interests. As an executive officer his residence and constant attention at the seat of Government. are required. Legal questions, involving important principles and large amounts of public money, are constantly referred to him by the President and executive department for his examination and decision. The public business, under his official m anagement before the judiciary has b e e n so augmente d by the extension of our territory, and the acts of Con gress authorising suits against the United States for large-Portions of valuable publio lands, as greatly to amass* his labours and responsibilities. I, therefore, recommend that the Attornez-General be plac e d on th e same footing with the hea ds of the other executive department*, with such subordinate officers provided by law for his department, as may be required to discharge the additional duties which have been, or may be, de volved upon him. COLUMBIA. Congress possess the power of exclusive legislation oYerithe district of Columbia ; and I commend the inte rests of its inhabitants to your favourable consideration. The people of this district have no legislative body of their own, and must confine their local, as well as their general, interests to the representatives in whose election they have no voice, and over whose official conduct they have no control. Each Member of the National Legis lature should consider himself as their immediate repre sentative, and should be the more ready to give atten tion to their interests and wants, because he is not re. sponsible to them. I recommend that a liberal and ge nerous spirit may characterise your measures in relation tion to them. I shall be ever disposed to show a proper regard for their wishes, and, within constitutional limits, shall at all times cheerfully co-operate with you for the advancement of their welfare. THE LATE GENERAL JACKSON. I trust it may not be deemed inappropriate to the oc casion for me to dwell for a momenton the memory of the most eminent citizen of our country, who, during the sum mer that i; gone by, has descended to the tomb. The enjoyment of contemplating, at the advanced age of near four score years, the happy condition of his country, cheered the last hours of Andrew Jackson, who de parted this life in the tranquil hope of a blessed immor -1 tality. His death was happy, as his life had been eminently useful. He had an unfaltering confidence in 1 the virtue and capacity of the people, and in the perma nence of that free government which he had largely contributed to establish and defend. His great deeds had secured to him the affections of his fellow-citizens, and it was his happiness to witness the growth and glory of his country, which he loved so well. Ile departed amidst the benedictions of millions of freemen. The nation paid its tribute to his memory at the tomb. Coming generations will learn from his example the love of country and the rights of man. In his language on a similar occasion to the present, " I now commend you, fellow-citizens, to the guidance of Almighty God, with a full reliance on his merciful Providence for the mainte nanie of our free institutions ; and with an earnest sup plication, that whatever errors it may be my lot to commit in discharging the arduous duties which have devolved on me, will find a remedy in the harmony of our counsels."

His Lordship sat at ten o'clock, and proceeded with the hearing of short causes. DRADSTOCK v. WATLEY. An application was made on the part of the plaintiff in this case, in which a decree was made by his Lordship on the 12th December last, to the effect that an altera tion should be made in the declaration. Lord LANGDALE considered that a part of the appli cation, which required that the Master should be directed to distinguish the personal from the leasehold property of the defendant, should be granted. Several petitions were then heard, but none of them possessed a particle of public interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dec. 23. (Before the VICE-CEtexcELLoa of ENGLAND.)

HANGATE V. a ISCOIGNE. Two very important votes were taken in the House of Representatives, on Monday, and by very decisive ma jorities. The first against rescinding the one hour rule, the other against rescinding the 21st rule, which, it will be rememhered, prohibited the reception of any petition or other papers requesting the abolition of slavery in the slave states or in the territories of the United States. The Treasury notes outstanding, D ecem b er 1, 18 45, , amounted to 59 . 2,864 dollars. MEXICO. The arrival of the Sea gives us some additions made to the New Mexican Tariff : Art. 1. All vessels, of whatsoever nature, that shall be on terms of friendship with the Mexican nation, notwith standing no special treaty of commerce shall have been ra tified between them, shall he admitted to all those ports open for foreign commerce. Their captain or supercargo, as well as the muniment and cargo of said vessel, shall be held subject to the prescribed laws for the collection of duties, and to all penal ties existing at the time of their arrival, from the very moment of their anchorage in the waters of the p or t Art. 2. Vessels com i ng from foreign ports, being other than national vessels, cannot be admitted at any other port save that to which they may be consigned. If they do so (save under the 72d article of this enact ment) the vessel as well as her cargo shall be considered forfeited. All surplusages of cargo over that manifested will be liable to the penalty of the 84th article, being considered in the light of contraband. Art. 3. The following are the ports which are open to the entrance of foreign vessels :—Gulf of Mexico, Sisal, Campeche, Tobasco, Vera Cruz, Tampico, Matamoras (Mateg..rda, Velasco, and Galveston, when they shall have returned to the ob e di en t contro l of the supreme Government.

In case that any of the above-mentioned ports shall be occupied by forces not in obedience to the su preme Government of Mexico, it shall remain shut, not only to foreign commerce, but also to coasting vessels, under the terms provided by,the decree of February 22, 1832. In this petition the arguments were concluded, and His HONOUR gave judgment, giving the parties liberty to file a bill of review on the payment of the costs. The Court rose at three o'cicelr. His Honour will not sit again till the 12th of January, 1846, the first day of Hilary Term. The Court sits on that day at Westminster, at ten o'clock. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN THE MATTER OP THE DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY COMPANY. An order was made in this case on Saturday for the payment out of Court of the money paid in under the standing orders, and the only reason w hy thi s h a d not already been complied with, was d ou bt on t h e part of the registrar whether it did not clash with one of the standing orders. Mr. OSBORNE, now referred to these. His HONOUR had no doubt that the money might be paid out of Court immediately. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 23.

This was an action on the case brought to recover back a sum of money paid in respect of certain shares which subsequently turned out to be fictitious, to which the de fendant had pleaded, denying his liability, and upon this plea issue was joined. Mr. Jervis, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Woodstock appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Martin and Mr. Mills for the defendant. The plaintiff was the well-known dentist, and an ex tensive share speculator, and the defendant a share broker and a member of the Stock Exchange. The ac tion was instituted to recover 432/. 103., which the plain tiff had paid to the defendant for 280 shares in the Kent ish Coast Railway, but the scrip certificates for which shares subsequently turned out not to be genuine, It would appear from the evidence. that the Kentish Coast Railway first originated in 1844, with Mr. Curling, a solicitor, who induced Sir John Ayre, Mr. Daniel, the chairman of the Blackwell Rail way Company, and several other gentlemen well known in the City, and of unimpeachable character, to allow themselves to be published to the world as the provisional committee of the undertaking, and it na turally ensued that the application for allotment of shares in the project were exceedingly numerous. The shares were allotted in due course, but only a few of them were paid upon—indeed, only some 800/. upon 603 shares—and the result was, that a meeting of the Directors was convened, and a resolution come to, that the scrip should not be issued ; but, at the re quest of Mr. Curling, the originator of the project, the Directors abstained from dissolving the Company, or rather agreed to rest upon their oars till the Board of Trade reported upon the line, the plans having been made and deposited as previously agreed upon, at the expense of Mr. Curling himself. In the meanwhile, however, some of the Directors learned, to their great astonishment, that the scrip of the Company, which ought to have been signed by two of the acting committee, had been issued by Mr. Curling and Mr. Richardson, the secretary, signed only by the latter, and was actually being largely dealt in upon the Stock Ex change. This circumstance, conjointly with an adverse report of the Board of Trade, led to a second meeting of the Directors, and at this meeting it was resolved to repudiate the scrip issued by Mr. Curling, upon which the deposits had been paid directly to the Secretary without passing through the hands of the Company's bankers, to refund the 800 L paid in the usual and proper course upon the 603 shares before alluded to, and to put an end to the Company altogether.. Now, the plaintiff had purchased shares of the defendant in this Kentish Coast Railway, but it afterwards turned out that the scrip certificates delivered by the defendant for these shares were portions of those repudiated by the Directors, which, becoming worthless upon the formal dissolution of the Company, the plaintiff determined to bring the present action to recover back the amount he had paid to the defendant for the shares, as money had and received. Mr. MARTIN, in his address to the jury for the de fence, said the case involved a question of considerable importance, which had never yet been before the Courts, namely, what was the extent of responsibility a jobber upon the Stock Exchange incurred in selling scrip certificates for railway shares. He apprehended and con tended that he incurred no responsibility at all, because the certificate itself contained no contract, and the broker warranted nothing beyond the signature to the certificate. With respect to the solvency or likeli hood of the scheme being carried out, he had nothing whatever to do, for the purchaser had the same means as the broker himself of ascertaining the prudence or imprudence of a purchase. The question was one of law, and for the Court to decide; but there was a second question in the case, which the jury would have to de. cede, namely, had not Mr. Curling, in issuing these cer tificates, acted as the servant of the Directors, and were they not bound by them, and liable to refund the plain tiff the money he had paid for them? The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said a stock jobber was liable in the same way as other parties who bought and sold. There was no mystery in dealing in shares any more than there was in dealing in cotton. A man bargained to buy cotton, the vendor was bound to deliver the same, and that was the case with shares. For instance, if a man bargained to buy a cask of brandy, which had passed through many hands, and it subsequently turned out to be water, it was no defence to say, " The dock company delivered it as brandy, and you must recover from them." All the cases in the books supported this view, and the only question the jury had to decide was, whether the shares delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff were the shares of the Kentish Coast Railway or not. The jury, after retiring for upwards of two hours and a half, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. DEBNEY V. DERCONZI. How TO GET UP A JURY. —OR this cause being called on, Mr. HumrnEr rose, and said this was a special jury case, but the jury had only been struck, and not sum moned. He was, therefore, willing to try the case with a common jury. Mr. Mau:llN said, at that advanced hour of the day he should certainly object to such a course. The summoning officer intimated, with the view no doubt of saving time, that there was not a common jury present. Mr. HumFaxv said he would get rid of that difficulty by praying a tales, and moving that the Sheriff do make an immediate return of jurors, Whereupon a long discussion ensued as to the legality of such a course, but his Lordship ultimately decided that it was legal, and the sheriff's representative immediately made up a jury by insisting upon the twelve indi viduals in the body of the Court who were nearest to him entering the box, whether it- was agreeable to themselves or not. Mr. MARTIN, being still anxious that the case should not be disposed of at that period of the day, offered to allow the venue to be changed, so that the case might be tried on the first day of next term. Mr. HUSIFRET declined to accede to this without the defendant paid the costs of the day. Mr. MARTIN said he would consent to no such pro posal, but, if the case were proceeded with, he should throw every obstacle in it s wa y, and take e very possible objection to the proceedings. In the first place, he would have the jury sworn individually, and he should object to those who were not qualified to serve. Several of the gentlemen who had been so precipi tately hurried into the box were found not to possess a single qualification for jurymen, and now the sheriff's representative evinced as much eagerness to drag them out as he had proviously done to push them in, and, with unblushing effrontery, told them they ought to have known better than enter the box without any qualifica tions. After a good deal of bustle this courteous func tionary succeeded in sc ra ping together a jury, and the case was opened nearly three-quarters of an hour after it had been first called on. IIAYTI. By the arrival of the Sea we have news from Hayti to the 18th ult. The news is interesting, particularly at this time, when the recognition of the independence of one of the republics on the island is in contemplation by the United States. By a proclamation, dated October 5, the Haytian Go vernment calls upon all foreigners residing in the eastern (that is, the Dominican, part of the island), to with draw within a month's time from that section of the country, under pain of being considered accomplices of the insurgents, and punished as such, should they remain. The Council of State having proceeded to Cape Hay tien, in order to be able to assist the President with their counsels—that functionary being obliged to absent him self from the seat of Government. The President complains, in a proclamation dated November 4, that the Dominicans have been stirred up to rebellion by the enemies of the African race, and are protected by the same, adding, that they meet with this protection, because, " with retrograde ideas, not withstanding 22 years of confraternity with us, they have again established slavery among them, and hold 1 coloured people in the 4 shameful chains of bondage.'" The proclamation concludes by enacting that every per son who shall speak any words tending to sow division among Haytiens, and to arm the citizens one against the other, shall be arrested, cast into prison, and given up to the tribunals, to be dealt with according to law. Au thority is given, in the same document, to the military commanders of the departments, to see that this order is executed. Hence it may be perceived, that the nature of the power of the Haytien President is the same with that of an unlimited despot, since he can make laws as he pleases, by mere proclamation, and also, that the people are subject to the most complete slavery, since military men may cast them into prison for whatever, in their judgment, may appear to be the •' tendency" of their conversation. By another proclamation of a prior date, the cutting of mahogany wood is forbidden by the President, in order to interrupt all communication with the insurgents of the east. The cutting is required to be suspended within twenty-four hours after the proclamation is issued, which will be published and placarded in all proper places, and any one found engaged in it, whether master or labourer, is to be immediately arrested, and " incor porated in the troops of the line."

AMERICAN APPLES.—It has been noticed that the apples introduced this year from the United States into the London markets are much more affected than those of this country, and that few will keep. The disease is equally ex tensive and analogous in its propagation to that so general in potatoes. _ REVISION OF THE BUILDINGS ACT.—We are never willing to find fault, and would at any time step a little way out of the path of strict duty to avoid hurting the feelings of a professional brother. Our object in alluding to one or two instances of unvoiss conduct on the part of district surveyors, at the present moment, is to induce those w h o are d epute d to see the Act carried out, to " do their spiriting gently," and not by an avaricious grasping after fees to increase still fur ther the feeling of disapp ro b ation which has been engendered. If they would consider for a moment, as we well know a large number of the body do, that they hold their office for the protection of the public, and not for their own personal ad vantage, their eourse of action would often be different from what it is. The Act is not put into an officer's hands simply onemciadteoini pri vate that he may find occasions to demand a fee, b u t t h at he may good (often opr see ei its provisionsinterests) ho f ne r s honestlycarried the genera l out; to pay him fairly for all he does, bat anything m beyond he ought no t to'l oo k f or i an d what is more' wit r . Builder drank sometimes wine, sowietimes brandy. Ido not know the date on which the wine was cbtained from the French barque. Henry James Stephens, a boy of 14 years of age, was next examined—He said I am the son of Mrs. Thompson, who was a passenger in the Tory. I recollect the Tory arriving at Fayal, but I cannot tell the date. I went ashore there with the captain. This was before any thing happened to Reason and Mars. The captain said he would kill all the crew when he got on board. He said this when we were going up stairs at the English Consul's. The reason why he did not say. I said, " Don't, Sir." He said nothing to that in reply. I returned with the captain on board, and immediately after he cut David Johnson with the cutlass on the back, and about the head. He said a little while after he would clear all the boats crew fore and aft. He bad drank a bottle of wine with the English Consul's daughter.' On going on board the ship, he said, " Here I come like seven bells half struck." The harbour-master came on board after the captain, and remained a short time. After he left the captain called out for his pistol and sword. They were brought by Jatrnes Glover. He then struck Mars with the edge of the sword. Mars was standing by the gangway at the time. Mars was saying or doing nothing. Ho had a lan tern, and was assisting the things on board. I heard no threatening expressions, nor any gestures of the kind among the crew. The next morning I saw Mars covered all over with blood. Three days after Mars and Reason were dead. They were in good health before these oc currences. For thirteen or fourteen days before these, the ship had been quite quiet ; ever since the mate Ram bert jumped overboard. Mr. Hayward then called the carpenter Sinclair, but that witness not being in atteadancc, he said he would waive that witness at present, and proceed to add some evidence respecting the third case, the death of Mars. William Beresford deposed—l was called on to attend and feed Mars three or four days before his death. He was on the main hatch in double irons all the time, with a large shackle round his neck. He was all covered with blood. He had several cuts about his head, his upper lip was nearly cut off, and hung over his mouth. I had to lift it up to put the bread in his mouth. It was soaked bread I gave him. Respecting his death, I saw him hauled up out of the cabin with ropes. He was very near dead at the time, and died about a quarter of an hour after. There was a rope put round his waist, but I do not know whether they squeezed him or not. Barry Yelverton recalled, and examined respecting the depositions of the men taken on board concerning the deaths of Reason and Mars. I signed those deposi tions at the order of the captain. I refused at first, but the captain said, if "we refused he would cut our hearts out, and make us sign them with our hearts' blood." (A general thrill of horror pervaded the Court at this state. ment.) I think Spence and Julien were present when that expression was used. This was said after Mars' death. It was said by the captain several times. It was in consequence of that threat that I signed the depositions. Julien Cordiavello, examined on the same point, said— I signed some papers, but I don't know what they were about, and I did it by force. The captain said, " You must sign it, and if you do not I will kill you." It was in consequence of the threat that I signed. William Dunn gave evidence to the same effect, that he signed three or four papers, but it was through in timidation. It was after the death of Mars and Reason they were signed, and in consequence of the captain say ing, if they did not, "He would cut their hearts out, and make thorn sign them with their hearts' blood." Some of the witnesses not being present to complete the foregoing evidence, John Levis, surgeon of the Westminster House of Cor rection, was called to give evidence as to the state of the crew when the Tory arrived. He said he examined, on the night of the men being committed to prison, Nelson, Gair, and Barton. This was on the evening of the 17th. The others, of which he had the names in a paper before him, he examined next day. The three first men appeared scarcely human, their wounds had not been dressed or washed for several days, their hair was dishevelled, and they were very dirty. By his orders they were put into the infirmary. The next morning he made a particular examination of all the men. The witness then read a paper which he drew up at the time and signed. It stated that Nelson had an incised wound on the scalp, and another on the collar-bone and back of tho neck. The side of the neck and face was burned and disfigured as if by gunpowder. There were several wounds on other parts of the body. Gair was the worst wounded, having his head scared in seve ral directions with wounds. His face was much dis figured with gunpowder, and he had several wounds on the body. There were about twelve other of the men who were wounded, some of them very extensively, but the two named were the severest cases. Alison had a severe wound by which his ear was almost separated. The wounds had, however, healed very readily, and might be considered more extensive than severe. This was the substance of the written paper. The witness continued, and said he examined the captain after he was taken into custody. Witness found a punctured wound on the back of the leg. Since then it had been attended with severe erysipelas inflammation. The captain was much depressed when he was taken, and in a bad state of body, which might have been the cause of the inflammation. The prisoner had no symptoms of recent drinking. The wound named was the only one. William Clapp, second surgeon at the Seaman's Hos pital, was next called, and examined respecting Morris, who had been taken into that hospital. He corroborated, as far as that party was concerned, the statement of Mr. Levis. , Alexander Sinclair, the carpenter, next called, was examined respecting the origin of the transactions on board the ship and relating to the death of Rambert. The ship was quiet until they passed the Island of As cension, about the 23d of September. They were short of provisions and water then. The quantity had been limited for six or reven days to a pint of water per man. A gallon a day is reckoned the allowance. Several of the crew were dissatisfied and grumbling. It was re marked that there could have been more water obtained at the last place they called at. There had been no disturbance that he was aware of up till that time. He recollected bespeaking a French barque, about five or six days after leaving the parallel of Ascension, and three days before Rambert jumped overboard. They got some water and provisions, and a cask of wine, from the barque. About this time the captain found fault with the mate about the boat being damaged. Witness heard the mate say that if he had not a wife and family he would have jumped overboard. Witness did not hear the reason of his saying so, as he was only passing along. The same night they bespoke the barque witness over heard Barry Yelverton tell the captain that Reason had said, "if he (the captain) did not make the Island of Ascension next day, there would be no more Captain Johnstones." This was alleged to have been said the day before the time when the ship should have reached Ascension, but it was not told the captain till after be speaking the French barque. Witness' afterwards heard the captain call Rambert, and tell him that there were intentions amongst the crew against him. Rambert said he did not know of any at that time. The captain then ordered the first and second mate, and witness, and the three boys to take arms, and they all did so. This was about nine o'clock at night. The watch, comprising eight men and a boy, were down asleep at the time. The other watch was on duty and all orderly as far as he knew. Up to this time witness heard nothing of any mutiny but what he heard Barry Yelverton tell the captain, and the captain saying, when he ordered them to be armed, " That he believed the crew had sharpened their knives to take his life." Several other questions were put respecting subsequent proceedings, but the answers were mainly corroborative of the evidence of the other witnesses, fully given, as to the manner the captain had acted towards the deceased. The only point ma• terially differing from the former examinations was re specting the conduct of the captain after Rambert jumpeeoverboard. The witness stated that on Rambert jumping overboard the captain called the crew together, and asked if they should try to save him ? but the crew were of opinion that ii would be of no use, the ship being under such a crowd of sail. Wit ness at the same time heard Curtis tell the captain that Rambert was the cause of all the disturbance, as he wanted to take the ship to America. Peter Curtis examined—He said that the mate came to him about two hours before he jumped over board. He was all cut about the head and face. Wit ness told Burton and others to go aft, and make the cabin fast, as the captain would murder all bands. Witness took iron belaying pins, and so did another of the orew, and went aft with the mate, as far as the break of the poop. French told them not to be foolish, and so they went forward again, throwing down the iron belaying pins. He saw French forward with a pistol loaded, who threatened to shoot Rambert if he did not go aft to the captain. French had a bayonet in his hand as well as the pistol. Witness also heard the captain threaten that if he did not bring the mate aft, he would take his (French's) life. Rambert went aft, and the captain struck him several times on the head with the butt-end of the pistol, and cut him with the cutlass about the head and face. Rambert was then put in irons, but immediately after re leased ; and witness saw the captain chase him ' round the deck with a drawn cutlass in his hand, when the mate jumped overboard. Before Rambert jumped overboard witness did not tell the captain the mate intended to seize the ship and take it to America. He did not hear any one say so but the captain. The only reason why he wanted to seize the captain was for their own protection, on account of his going about the deck pricking and cutting the crew with a cutlass and bayonet. The attempt he had named was the only one made by the crew. Mr. Hayward said this was all he had to offer on the three principal charges, and he would now proceed to call evidence respecting the proceedings of the captain when the ship arrived in the Channel, re specting the cutting and wounding of the crew. Beresford, Curtis, Tucker, Blackdon, Spence, Glover, and Alison, being the remaining portion of the crew that had not been examined on the fourth charge, were then called in, and, with the consent of Mr. Humphries, and in order to economise time, Mr. Hayward confined the examination to the actual injuries each had received from the captain, without going into the general case on which evidence had already been fully taken. Beresford said he had got two cuts on the head and one on the wrist, and was made to kiss the sole of the captain's foot. Curtis stated that he had been cut in several places about the head and body with a cutlass, all hands being down in the cabin at the time on their knees. Tucker deposed that on the 7th of November he had been called down to the cabin and ordered on his knees, _ and that while in that position he was fired at by the French, through order of the captain, on the face, the captain standing by at the time with a cutlass over his head. He was afterwards cut and find at while on deck. The state- ments of Spence, Blackdein, Glover, and Alison, were of a similar character. The evidence being closed, the &positions wt4re read over, and the witnesses severally boioid over to appear and give evidence against the prisoner at the next ses sions to In held et the Central Criminal Cole. N ENG, DECEMBER 9.4 3 1845. Mr. B RODE RIP, then addressing the prisoner, informed him that, after a long and careful examination, it was his painful duty to commit him for trial at the ensuing session of the Central Criminal Court, on three capital charges of murdering William Rambert, chief mate of the ship Tory, Thomas Reason, second mate, and Wm. Mars, common sailor; and also on the charge of feloni oucly cutting and wounding the crew of the same ship. The prisoner was then removed in a most exhausted state, and thus terminated one of the longest and most extraordinary magisterial investigations upon record. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BU IV-STREET. Henry Lyons, an architect arid surveyor, was charged by Nicholson, the '• Lord Chief Justice of the Judge and Jury Society," of the Garrick's-head, in Bow-street, with creating a disturbance at the above hotel, and commit ing en assault on the complainant. The " Lord Chief Justice" stated, `that at about half past three o'clock yesterday morning, the prisoner was in the large room at the hotel, using the most disgustingly in decent and obscene language, when, at the desire of several persons who had been annoyed by him, witness and two of the waiters proceeded to turn him out. In the course of a little time, however, he returned, and meeting witness at the door, struck him violently in the face. Witness then called a policeman, and gave him in charge. The prisoner asked if there were not several " masked characters" in the room at the time? Witness—There were a great many. They came from Jullien's Gal masque at the theatre. Prisoner—Was there not a lady there in disguise ? Witness—Yes, several. Prisoner—Was not the conversation carried on en tirely in French? Witness—No; it was in English. The prisoner said that the statement was false. He admitted that he had used indecent language, but he had not spoken in English during the whole time he was in the room. He was "chaffing" a gentleman about a lady who was with him, in a fancy dress, and at the sug gestion of this gentleman he was turned out by the landlord and the two waiters. He had certainly struck the landlord, but not till he had been provoked by the violence used in turning him out. The witness denied that he had used any unnecessary violence in turning the prisoner out. The policeman F 72 was then called, and said that he was on duty in Bow-street, opposite the Garrick's Head, about four o'clock this morning, when he saw the pri soner turned out by the former witness, and afterwards saw him return and strike some one, but he could not tell whether it was the complainant or not, as there were several persons there. Witness then crossed the road, and took the prisoner in charge. Mr. JARDINE fined the prisoner 405., or in default of payment committed him for fourteen days. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Howe, a cab-driver, badge 8,440, was charged with furious driving and being drunk. James Lenney, of No. 7, Brill-row, Somers-town, stated that about half-past six o'clock on Monday evening, as he was driving in a cart along Regent-street, the prisoner, who was driving a cab at a furious rate, ran up against him, and broke the spring of his cart. The prisoner was very drunk at the time. On the police coming up, com plainant gave him in charge Ur. MALTBY—At what pace was the prisoner driving? Complainant—At at least between eleven and twelve miles an hour, and in a most reckless manner. The defendant said the complainant's statement was correct, excepting that he was not driving at the rate of speed stated. Mr. HARDWICK said he should fine him 305., and 10s. the amount of the damage done to the complainant's cart, or, in default, one month's imprisonment in West minster Bridewell to hard labour ; he would also have to pay several shillinas', to get his cab from the green yard, where it was taken by the police. The prisoner said he could not raise the amount re quired, and was committed accordingly. THE WESTMINSTER MURDER. CONFESSION OF THE PRISONER. It will be remembered, very shortly after Martha Browning had been placed in the cell, on the female side of the prison, which is appropriated for capital convicts of this sex, she appeared desirous to unburden her mind of the dreadful weight which lay upon it, and in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the chaplain, and the governor of Newgate, Mr. Cope, she made a full admis sion of her guilt. Of course no questions were put to her, nor anything said to induce her to make such an avowal, but as she appeared really desirous of making it, and did so of her own free will, she was allowed to make the statement. She said that her only motive for the commission of the dreadful deed was a desire to possess herself of that which she believed to be a 51. Bank of England, but which, as it turned out, was only a "11 ish" note, or one of the " Bank of Elegance." It should be stated that the pri soner can read and write very well, but she says that she never had an opportunity of fully seeing the note until after the crime was committed, and she declared that there was only one note. and not two, as was represented at the trial. She said, that being determined to possess herself of the note, she considered the means, and at length re solved to take the old lady's life, as being the readiest mode of attaining her object, and that she would effect this by strangling her with the cord which was in her box, and fixed upon the Sunday night for that purpose. Accordingly, in the middle of the night, she got up, and cut a portion of the rope off, and then, while the unhappy deceased was asleep, she twisted it twice round her neck, and be gan to pull it violently. The old lady awoke in the agonies of suffocation. She struggled slightly, and had just sufficient power to exclaim, " Murder, murder; what are you doing?"—an expression which was spoken to by one of the witnesses, who occupied an adjoining room— and that almost immediately she expired. At this moment, she says, the person referred to came to the door, and inquired what was the matter. She was then standing over the dead body of her un happy victim ; and she states that it was with great difficulty she was enabled to procure an answer to the effect that nothing was the matter, and thus induced the party to return to her room. She then remained upon the bed with the dead body until daylight, when she examined the box of the deceased, and took out of the housewife that which she believed to be the 5L note; and, without attentively looking at it, she placed it in her own pocket, and considered of the best mode to escape detection for her horrid crime ; and at length the thought came across her to make it appear that the deceased had committed suicide. With a view to this she tied the cord in a knot, and then lifted the body from the bed, and placed it on the box by its side in the position in which it was afterwards discovered. In the morning she gave an alarm, as appeared by the evidence, of the, old lady being ill, and went out to inform his daughter of it, and to request that she would come to see her. Upon the prisoner being asked how she could have been strong enough to lift the dead body from the bed and place upon the box, she said, " I think the devil must have helped me, but I did it." The prisoner then went on to describe the other circumstances narrated in the evidence, and said that the statements of all the witnesses were correct, with the exception of that of the surgeon, which she declared was not so in !two particulars, wherein he stated that he was the first me dical person who saw the deceased, and that:when he did so her eyes were staring and wide open ; but she de clared that bis assistant saw her first, and that her ey•s were closed, and her face appeared per fectly composed, when he saw her. She stated that, having resolved upon the course she intended to pursue, she made the statement she did before the coroner with a view to show that the deceased destroyed herself, and which had that effect. She stated that by this time she had discovered that the note was of no value ; and she said she should never have attempted to make any use of it, if she had not been pressed by the old woman's daughter and her husband to lend them some money ; [and she said she went to the public-house with the pretended purpose to change it, in order to pacify them, and on their insisting to know how she became possessed of it she did not know what to do, and actually told them the story about her having received it from some person in Bedford-street, in the Strand. When she found that the witness Gaze determined upon accompanying her to Bedford-street, she became quite beside herself, and felt that she could no longer support her position ; and she said she did not recollect the in coherent expressions imputed to her by the several wit nesses, although she had no doubt she had made use of them. This was the substance of the statement of the unhappy criminal, and after it was made she appeared a good deal more composed, and ever since her firmness has appeared to increase, and she is evidently perfectly resigned to the fate that awaits her. The execution will take place on Monday, the 15th of January. THE YARMOUTH MURDER. RE-APPREHENSION OF YARIIAM. GLOUCESTER, MONDAY.-Our readers will doubtless remember the particulars of the murder of Harriet Candler, a shopkeeper in Yarmouth, on the night of the 18th of November, 1844. We have from time to time detailed the circumstances and particulars as any fresh evidence or fact has been adduced, and we have now to state that Yarham has been apprehended at Blakeney, in Gloucestershire. Our readers will remember the extra ordinary testimony of the woman Dick, who stated that Yarham had confessed to her that he wit.; concerned in the murder. On the strength of this evidence a warrant was granted by the Yarmouth magistrates, on the 6th of December, for the apprehension of Yarham, and placed in the hands of Captain Love, the Superintendent of Police there. Some suspicion being entertained that he was in Gloucestershire, Captain Love came to Gloucester on Saturday morning last, and immediately proceeded to Mr. Williams, the Superintendent of the Gloucester City Police, who, together with the Captain, went off to the town of Blakeney, about sixteen miles from Gloucester. At the house of Mr. Smallwood, shoe maker, Yarham was found at work, and informed of the reasons of tho presence of the officers. He said he was aware of the circumstances of the murder from reading the newspapers, but denied the truth of the statement made by Dick, who said that he had confessed his guilt to her three weeks after his release from custody, whereas he says he left Yarmouth fourteen days after. This he says he can prove. He was taken to Gloucester, and on Sunday Trimming was removed to London, on the way to Yarmouth. TEE LATE LORD WRARECLIFFE.--.WO understand that on Sunday morning Mr. Meriman and the physicians, who were called in to consult on the serious illness of this respected nobleman, assembled at the family mansion in Curzon-street, as well as Sir Benjamin Brodie, when there was a post-mortem examination of the deceased, when it was ascertained that death was caused by an effusion on the brain. At the Congregation at Cambridge, on Friday, a grace passed the senate, appointing Mr. Cockerell to be the late Mr. Basevi's succesalr, as architect to the new Fitz william Museum, in conformity with the recommendation of the Fitzwilliam Syndicate, in their report of the 9th of De cember inst.
