ettrlx Mbition BUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE NEW MINISTRY. The meeting of the L iberal party, held at Lord JOHN RUS3ELL'S, in Chesham-place, remained in de liberation for several hours. The result is believed to be, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL will undertake to form a Government. Little doubt can be entertained that, arriving at this conclusion, he has weighed the probable support and opposition he will receive or encounter from the different sections of the Tory party, and the line which the leaders of the late Cabinet will pursue. No details can be given until the QUEEN has approved the arrangements proposed, but if ll° difficulty, at present unforeseen, should arise, the particular positions of the new Administration will very shortly be announced. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The political meeting at Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S residence broke up soon after three o'clock this afternoon, when the whole of the Noblemen and Gentlemen present took their departure. ALLEGED MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. THAMES POLICE COURT.—(THIS DAY). To-day, at twelve o'clock, the adjourned examination of Captain Johnstone, for the murder of Rambert, Mars, and Reason, and also for cutting and maiming several of the crew, took place at the Thames Police-court. The crowd outside was as great, and apparently nq Was in it, was assailed with a perfect storm of yells, hisses, and expressions of opprobium. Mr. Humphries attended to watch the case, as before, for the prisoner. Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, took down the depositions as on the paevious occasions. Thomas Gair was the first witness called and exa mined. He stated that on the Ist of November he was put in irons on beard the ship Tory, on a false charge of threatening to take the captain's life. He remained in irons about eleven days. On the 7th of November the captain sent for him into the cabin. The captain sent Julian Cordiavello for him, and be (the witness) went as desired. He found Anderson, Nelson, and and William Burton there. As soon as witness went in, the captain ordered him to go on his knees, and then commenced cutting at him. The captain also told French to load his pistols and fire at witness. He told him to load and put a double charge of ball in it. The captain said, if he did not load and do as he desired him, he would take his life. French loaded, but did not put a ball in it. He fired several times with charges of powder in the witness's face. The captain afterwards cut witness several times on the head, and then placed the point of the cutlass against his side, and said he would thrust him through. By a stagger, the captain being intoxicated at the time, the point of the cutlass went through witness's clothes, and gave a slight wound in his side. He then took the cutlass, and hove it at him ; it went through his clothes, and cut witness's shoulder. He then rose, and in doing so ordered the man French to fire again. French did not do so. He ordered wit ness on the table, and when he went on it, he took the cutlass and pushed him off with its point. The crew were then ordered up to pump ship. They went :on deck and manned the pumps. Witness went also on deck, but was not able to do anything. In a few minutes witness, with some others, were ordered down again. They went down and stopped some time, but the captain did not make his appearance. Witness was then taken up and put in irons again, and placed in the lower fore-castle. 'Witness altogether had received eigh teen cuts in his head, two on his left shoulder, two on his breast, two on his left side, one on the left thigh, and one on the right arm. There were several other smaller wounds on different parts of his arms. His face was swollen very much, and he had lost the use of the right eye for six or seven days. Ile did not see Morris when he was in the cabin. Joseph Morris alias Ruellan, a Frenchman, was next called. As the witness could speak English but im perfectly, recourse was had to an interpreter. His evi dence was to the following effect :—While in the Chan nel the pilot came on board, and the same evening the captain called witness into the cabin. When there the captain asked if witness had heard the crew say anything of him forward.: Witness replied that he knew of nothing. The captain answered, "You know all about it, you son of a b—h." He then said to witness get upon your knees, and then struck at him with a cutlass. The mark of the blow was on his temple. The blow was with the edge. The captain then called on the cabin-boy for a pistol. He aimed it at witness's stomach. The pistol missed fire by burning, priming only. He then called the boy to bring some more powder to prime afresh. He fired again, and the ball went through witness's thigh and leg, as he was upon his knees. Witness then ran upon deck, feeling that he was wounded. The cook caught him, and brought him down again. The cook said to the captain, " This man is wounded." The captain said, " Take him away." Witness then went on deck, and stowed him self away in the long-boat, under some sails. This was all he had to say. Barry Yelverton examined—Said that he would state what took place after the ship came to Plymouth, and the pilot came on board. The captain that morning was speaking to witness in French about the cuts which the men had received ; he said, " Now, boy, we'll send them all aft, and swear mutiny against them." The night before this, the captain took witness into the cabin, tote the shirt off his back, and beat him for about an hour or two. The next morning his eves were black and his throat swollen. The same morning the captain said, " I am sorry for what I have done to you ;' and said further, " It is a wonder I did not kill you. Do you know the way you addressed me yesterday ?" Witness replied, " Yes, sir ; you wcro threatening to kill all hands, and I said to you, for God's sake, don't kill any more." French was present at the time referred to, and said, " Never mind what this person (meaning the witness):says. the moon affects him." I replied, "There is very little moon in what I said, I am speaking for the captain's good." Witness repeated these remarks to the captain in answer to the question put about the manner he had addressed him the previous day. The captain then said there was no harm in that, and the witness retired. The day after this the captain ordered witness into his berth, while he called the crew down, and in telling him to do so said that he intended to deliver up the man, and that he (the witness) was to say that the men had been threatening his life, and had tied him to the mizen m a st with a rope round his neck. After this the men were confined, and the captain and French went about the ship firing their pistols. The crew were ordered into various attitudes, sometimes sitting, sometimes eaani!ir:g. Witness saw the captain and French fire at the man Nelson and at Gair, and also cut them a good deal with the cutlass. Witness was in tie cabin when Morris was shot. The witness went into details respceting the treatment of Morris, which corroborated in its main features the statement cf that witness. The witness also deposed to having been commanded by the captain to cut and shoot at the men while the ship was in the channel. He had, however, never struck the men, having got it put off on some other of the men. William Burton was ne%t called, and said that he offi,:ia:ed, after the death of Mars, as second mate. He le collected the pilot coming on board and going down into the cabin with the captain. When they came up the pilot had a bundle under his arm, which he took on shore. He believed it was the log-book, and he told the captain he did not care, as he knew what he had stated in evidence, and what was written in the book, namely, that Rambert and Reason came to him and wanted to pull }aim out to go aft with them to fasten the cabin-doors. The captain replied, " That is not what yon told me; you said they came to bring me aft." Wit ness repeated his former evidence, when the captain flung a soup knife at him, but it missed. Witness was then put in irons, and the captain said "He was a riscal, and going to give f a l s e ev id e n c e again i t Loin.". When i n i rons w it ness was cu t th ree "es by the captain—on the car, the cheek, and the wrist Gair was also called down, and in presence of witness the captain cut him most unmer cifully. The men were afterwards called upon deck, and the captain and French shouted out, " Mutiny ! to arms !" and t h ey began to pull the men into the cabin. 'rhe captain took his cutlass and began cutting at them. The men at this time had nothing in their hands. There was no mutiny, that witness was aware of, on board. He heard no threats or mutinous lan• guage from the crew, and he did not see any mutinous gestures. A light was brought in to the cabin, and the captain began to cut away at them. The men wore on their knees at the time. French was ordered to load the pistols and fire away at them, else he would have his life taken. French fired at Gair and Nelson four or five different times, and then put the pistol to witne3s's ear, and said, " You br, I'll shoot you." Witness was in iro ns at the time. French put the point of the pistol to witness's ear and fired. It was filled with powder only. After which s•ruck him two blows with the lock of the weapon on the head. In about half an hour afterward., the carpenter called out to pump ship, and the crew were all ordered on deck. Witness went into the long boat where he was ordered, and there ho stopped all night. About ten o'clock next morning witness was sent for dawn into the cabin, and the captain told him to keep up his heart, for that there was no fear of him, and ordered Julian to get some warm water to wash the blood and powder off his face. When Julian went for the water witness went out into the forecastle, where he waited tall be was washed. The captain ordered him to hare clean clothes on ; that he was to have leg irons on, and that he was to stop in the lower forecastle till the ship reached London . On the 9th the revenue cutter bo a rd e d the ship, and the second in command, who came on board, ordered the three men in irons, Cone,iGair, and himself, to be take n out o f t h e l ower forecastle and placed in the topgallant forecastle. This was accord ingly done. That day the remainder of the crew were confined in the aft-deck. The three in irons were libe rated that night by the order of the second in command of her Majesty's cutter Ranger, and told to make themselves as comfortable as they could. Hepry Slack examined —The pilot came on board when the ship was in the Channel. The witness here went into circumstances referred to in the evidence of the pre vious witnesses, after the ship was boarded by the pilot, which he corroborated in their main features. He was witness to the cutting, shooting at, and putting into irons several of the men. William Dun was next called, and requested to give evidence respecting what took place after the ship came into the Channel. He said they were off Plymouth when the disturbances took place. On the evening of the day the pilot came on board the captain cut at Morris and Thompson, and sent for the boy Beresford, and accused him with getting a strand to kill Mars. The captain then cut him with a cutlass. The next day the captain sent for Cone and Gair out of irons, and cut them. In the afternoon, while at tea, the captain again sent for Cone and cut him. Witness was then sent to order all hands down, and when they went to the captain he cut at them with the sword. The men came down immediately on being sent for. The captain in addition to cutting them broke a chair over Thompson's head. They were then sent on deck again. Witness shortly after was again sent atter them, but he could not see all of them at the time. He found Gair, Burton, Nelson, and Allison. When they went into the cabin the light was put out, and he heard the captain calling " mutiny." They then went into the other cabin. The captain ordered French to fire at them. The men had no arms, nor did he see any mutinous gestures, or hear any shouts. He saw the men on their knees. French fired at them repeatedly. The pistol was loaded with powder and crumbs of bread. Witness asked French to put in small charges, and he said he would not ; he " would have full charges ; he would let them know he was chief mate now." The witness proceeded to detail se veral other instances in which the men had been, either by the captain or at his commands, ill-treated in the manner already described, and especially the treat ment received by Morris, which he fully corroborated. Robert Thompson, one of the crew of the Tory, was next examined. His evidence was entirely corroborative of the statements made by the foregoing witnesses, re specting the violent conduct of the captain to the crew after the ship reached the Channel, and to the cutting of and striking at the men. Witness himself received a severe cut on the head from the captain, and had received a wound from the point of a cutlass in two places on the face. In proof of the abject condition in which the crew wctra,,nlc,....cl_ of tn 3 capiam; the tatter ordered him and another one of the crew to kiss the sole of his foot, which they did. Mr. Haywood, clerk to Mr. Maule, the solicitor of the Treasury, here came into court, and took his seat be side Mr. Symons. Mr. Broderip was proceeding to call another witness, when Mr. Humphries rose and said, it would be as well to read the depositions over that had been taken, in stead of going into fresh evidence, as Mr. Haywood, in all probability, had some application to make. Mr. Haywood.—He was not prepared to make any statement then, beyond expressing that the Treasury had undertaken the conducting of the prosecution, and that he did not think in the present state of the case it would be possible to try any of the charges at the pre sent Sessions. Mr. BRODERIP concurred, and thought justice would be done to neither side if the case was sent for trial at the present Sessions. It was then arranged to take another witness and then to adjourn the case, Mr. BRODERIP expressing a wish that the whole of the evidence should be finished at the next sitting. Andrew Nelson was then called, and examined at some length as to the violence of the captain to the crew. He received from the captain cuts from a cutlass on several occasions. There was no feature in his exami nation beyond what has been already fully given. The prisoner was then remanded. COURSE OF EXCH.

Caroline Cummins, 23, spinster, and Mary Cummins, 21, were indicted for feloniously stealing a silver coffee pot, value 14/., :the property of Sarah Hunter Taylor Cathcart, in the dwelling-house of Charles Shaw. In another count the property was said to belong to Mr. Shaw. It will be remembered that the prisoners were ar raigned upon an indictment, charging them with being concerned with other persons in a very exter,sive rob bery from the house of Mr. Shaw, in whose house the prisoner Caroline lived as servant, at the last session of this Court, but upon the Counsel for tho prisoner making a suggestion that Mrs. Shaw, the wife of the prosecutor, had sanctioned the pawning of the property, and that lady being too ill then to attend to contradict the insinuation, the prisoners obtained an acquittal, and the other indictments were then ordered to stand over to the present session, in order that Mrs. Shaw might be en abled to attend. Mr. PARRY having briefly stated the circumstances under which the charge was brought against the pri soners, and alluded to the nature of the defence sat up on the former occasion, proceeded to call the witnesses. From their testimony it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Charles Shaw, is a solicitor on Fish-street-hill, and his country residence was No. 11, Walworth-terrace, where the prisoner, Caroline Cummins, was employed as servant in his establishment. It seems that a lady named Cathcart had left in Mr. Shaw's care a box, containing a large quantity of silver plate, which was corded and placed under his bed for security. In the month of October it was discovered that the box had been opened and a great deal of the plate abstracted, and the pri soner, Caroline Cummins, upon being taxed with the robbery, then gave her mistress seventeen duplicate.: , , and admitted to her master, who afterwards questioned her, that she had taken the property at the instigation of her sister Mary, and that she had given her the articles to pledge. Mrs. Shaw, upon being cross-examined by Mr. BAL LANTINE, said that in the previous January she had dis covered that the plate was pledged, and the prisoner Caroline then also admitted that she had pledged it ; but on heigoing upon her knees and entreating her forgive ness she consented to advance the nwnev to redeem the cal , au ~Eto ugic ,iieutristance from tne itnowieuge of her husband. She said that the prisoner had ben many years in her service, and she acted as she did solely from a feeling of kindness towards her, and she declared that she had not the slightest knowledge of the fact of the subsequent pawning until the prisoner pro duced the duplicates. Mr. Shaw confirmed the testimony of his wife, and added that when he questioned the prisoner Caroline, she said that her sister Mary would come to the house, and that she had compelled her to give her the plate to pledge, and she begged him to have mercy upon her. Christopher Greeves, the shopman of Mr. Turner, a pawnbroker in the Walworth-road, proved that the pri soner Mary Cummins pledged the coffze-pot at his master's shop on the 30th of March, in the name of Mary Back. The coffee-pot was produced, and identified by Miss Cathcart as being her property. -Mr. BALLANTINE having briefly addressed the jury, after a short deliberation they returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The RECORDER said the Court would be glad to have some information with regard to the prisoners, in order to guide its judgment as to what sentence ought to be passed upon them. Mrs. Shaw informed the Learned Judge that Mary Cummins had been in her service several years ago, but she had discharged her, and forbade her to come to the house. She had very good reason to believe that she had become acquainted with some very bad characters, and that she had instigated her sister to rob them. The RECORDER then ordered Mary Cummins to be brought up for judgment, and after observing that her case was a. very aggravated one, as there was every rea son to suppose that she had brought her sister into her present situation, he said he felt it his duty to pass upon her a sentence of transportation for ten years. There were several other indictments against these prisoners for stealing other articles of plate, but they were not proceeded with. The prisoner Maly Cummins was then indicted, with a woman named Elizabeth Clayton, for stealing a coat, he property of Mr. Shaw. The article had also been pledged at Mr. Turner's shop, but Mr. Turner, jun., who took the pledge, could not identify the party who made it. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. The same prisoners were then arraigned for stealing a pair of trousers, and upon this indictment a verdict of Guilty was returned against Clayton. They were then charged upon another indictment with stealing a gold ring, the property of Mr. Shaw. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both. They were called up for judgment, and the Re corder, after remarking that it was evident there had been a complete conspiracy to plunder the property of the prosecutor, said, that as there did appear, however, to be some ground for sup posing that the prisoner, Caroline Cummins, had been made the dupe of older and more designing persons the Court would feel itself justified in passing a co►n paratively lenient sentence, which was, that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year. The other prisioner, Clayton, he sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour. Anne Reuelimn was then placed at the bar, charged with feloniously receiving some articles that had been stolen by the prisoner Caroline Cummins. Mr. PARRY said, that in this case he did not propose to offer any evidence, because, although there was no doubt that the prisoner had received the property in question, the prosecutcr considered it very probable she might have done so without having any guilty know ledge. eSs-• A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. Mr. PARRY then applied for the Court to order the pawnbroker to give up the plate in his possession. He at the same time stated that, during a few months, plate had been pawned with him to the amount of 5001., with out, as it appeared, any observation being made. The RECORDER said that be could only observe, that if the same charitable conclusion had not been put upon the conduct of the pawnbroker as had been extended to the last prisoner (Reuchman), he might have found him self in a very awkward position. The only atonement he could make, was to give up the whole of the property. Mr. Turner, jun., said he believed Mary Cummins was the wife of a respectable person, and that the plate was her property. Mr. PARRY said the greater part of Mr. Shaw's plate, that had also been stolen in addition to Miss Cath cart's, bore his initials, and some part of it his crest. The RECORDER said he hoped Mr. Turner would be more careful in future. He was not at all prepared to say what view the jury might have taken of his conduct if he had been placed in the dock. .At present, he must understand that the Court made an order for him to deliver up the whole of the property. The plate was then given up to the prosecutor. William Harding, 23, a very well-dressed young man, described as a shoemaker, but who is believed to be one of the gang who are in the habit of prowling about the different banking houses for the purpose of com mitting felonies, was indicted for stealing apocket-book, nine 10/. Bank of England notes, two 51. notes, two cheques for 1,0001. each, and other securities, altogether of the value of 2,7001, the property of Robert Vaughan Wynne Williams, from his person. The prosecutor said he was a solicitor, residing in the Temple, and on the 27th November he had occasion to go to Messrs. Mortimer's bank, where he changed a cheque for 1001., and placed the notes he received in his pocket-book , , which at the time contaiaed the other securities mentioned in the indictment. He put the pocket-book into the hind-pocket of his body coat, which had a wrapper over it, and proceeded on his way back to the Temple. As he was passing by Bucklers bury, he felt a very slight touch at his coat, and imme diately put his hand to his pocket, and feeling a packet of letters in it, he imagined that his pocket-book was safe, and thought no more of the circumstance ; but when be got to his chambers he found that his pocket-book was gone. It had since been shown to him, with its contents perfectly safe. John Coram, a sergeant of the City police, deposed, that from some information he received about the time the robbery was committed, he went into Gutter-lane, and saw the prisoner walking along with his hands in his pockets, and the moment 'he observed him he ran off. Witness pursued him, calling " Stop thief," and he saw him take a pocket-book out of his pocket. El 6 then turned up a court, and he lost sight of him for a minute, but he stopped him directly afterwards, and the pocket. book was picked up close by him. Mr. BALLANTINE said it would be useless for him to attempt to struggle with this evidence, and he must leave the prisoner in the hands of the jury. The s itEconDEß having briefly addressed the jury, they at once returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said there was very little doubt that the prisoner was one of a gang of persons who were in the habit of hangir" , about banking -houses for the purpose of committi ng plunder of this description, an d i t was ver y ev id ent that he was a skilful hand at these matters. The sentence, therefore, was, that he be transported for ten years. IV E W COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) CRUELTY ON THE BIGH SEAS.— Alexander Gordon, captain of the barque Nathesis, and John Cummins, mate of the same vessel, were charged with having cruelly assaulted William Scott, one of the apprentices on board that vessel, about the 20th of June last, while the ship was near the line. Mr. PAYNE, the counsel for the prosecution, said the case w as one of a serious character, and if proved would exhibit a very cruel mind in those who have been in • dieted on the charge. The charge was made against the master and mate of the Nathesis of assaulting and cruelly treating Scott, the apprentice. One day, after crossing the line, the boy had been rather tardy in getting up out of bed. Cummins, the mate, went below with a rope's end, and flogged him up on deck. When the boy came on deck he %I as sent aloft to tar the royal rigging, with nothing on him except a blue shirt. The mate followed him up, and struck him while aloft, but the boy, to escape the flogging, leaped to lay hold of the stays, which he missed, and fell into the water. But the main part of the charge was—when the boy was brought upon deck, after falling into the water, the mate pulled the shirt over the boy's head, and the master himself gave him two dozeti of strokes with a cat made for the purpose. The mate wished to give him another dozen, but the master refused to allow him then; but a short time after the boy was brought again on deck, and the mate gave him a dozen more. The boy was then taken down into the cabin, and was placed on his knees on the cabin floor. The master and the mate then said they would pour vitriol on his back. The master re quested the mate to put it on the boy's back, as he was afraid of burning his fingers. The mate had the same fear, and hesitated to use the liquid, but he afterwards poured what both called vitriol out of a bottle on the back of the apprentice Scott. Mr. PAYNE then proceeded to call the witnesses to prove the charge. The first witness called was the boy William Scott. He said he was an apprentice on board the Nathesis barque. Gordon was the master, and Cummins the mate. The day after crossing the line, he was late in getting up. He vas flogged up on deck, and then sent up the foremast with the tar barrel to tar the royal rigging.. He had nothing on but a blue flannel shu t. W hen he refused to tar th rigging, the mate, who was aloft, struck him. Mr. BALLANTINE here interrupted the evidence, to say that his Learned Friend bad so conducted the case as to make the acquittal of Capt. Gordon a matter . of justice. He bad already proved an assault against the mate. There was but one count in the indictment. The assault proved against the mate satisfied that count ; -the captain, therefore, he argued, must be acquitted. It had been settled so long ago us the time of Lord Ellenborough, in the case of " Stant v.. Prickctt." More than one assault had been committed in that case. The counsel for the prosecution had proved one assault, and was proceeding to prove another, when Lord Ellenborough stopped him, and said he might have detained the Court and the jury all day going through the different charges in order to select the one on which to rely ; his Lordship said that must be done by counsel previous to coming into Court ; enough in that case had been proved to satisfy the count. On this ground he (Mr. Ballantine) held that enough had been proved to satisfy the single count in the in ictment in the present case, and as that was proved against the mate alone, he held that Captain Gordon should be acquitted. Mr. HUDDLESTONE - , Counsel for the mate Cummins, objected against the Counsel for the prosecution tench ring evidence of any further act in which the mate might have been concerned. The case in the present instance was analogous, he said, to the case of a declaration. There, if there was .but one count put in, and a justifi cation proved by the accused for any one of the assaults committed, that justification was held to apply to the single instance of assault proved. The prosecutcr was at liberty to pat any number of counts he pleased on the indictment, but if he had put must lie that act on which he will rely and prove that. said his Learned Friend would argue that the charge in this case was a joint charge, but it was joint and several. Mr. PAYNE said the charge was a joint one, and the evidence put in was not intended to prove the act of as sault, but only an incident leading to it. Mr. BALLANTINE, in reply, said an assault was an assault by whatever name it might be called. Mr. HUDDLESTONE, for the mate, said if his Lordship was prepared to admit the charge was a joint charge, then he must be prepared to follow his principle out, tor if the charge were a joint charge, one being acquitted, both must be acquitted. The Learned COMMISSIONER retired to consult with the Learned Recorder. On returning into Court, he in timated that the opinion expressed by the Learned Re corder coincided with his own, and that no further evi dence could be brought against either of the accused. The jury was then directed to find Captain Gordon Not G uilty. The testimony of the boy Scott was continued—He said that the mate came up with the intention of flogging him. When he saw this he jumped off the yard-arm, and attempted to lay hold of the backstays, but, missing them, fell into the water. He was a quarter of an hour in the water. Mr. HUDDLZSTONE objected to evidence of anything more that might have happened ; enough had been brought forward to satisfy the Court. The objection was allowed, and Mr. Huddlestone proceeded to cross-examine the boy Scott. He said it was his watch that morning. The watch began at 7 bells, that is half an hour, before eight o'clock. When he came up he found all the watch on deck. He did not know what time it was then. (The captain here was observed by a juryman making use of means to intimidate the boy in giving his evidence, and was ordered out of Court.) Scott said there were four men and two boys in the watch ;he was one of the boys. All the sails were set except the flying-jib and the spanker. At that time he (witness) Has dozing in bed, when the mate came down and gave him two or three blows on the back with a rope's end, He then ran up to the deck. He was ordered up to tar the ropes with nothing on but a blue woollen shirt. He asked the mate to allow him to put on some clothes, a pair of trousers at least ; but the mate refused this. He refused to tar the ropes in this condition, and was struck by the mate while on the yard-arm, which he jumped from to catch the stays, but fell into the water. William Morris was a seaman on board the Nathesis, and remembered Scott having been in the water. He saw the mate go down below with a rope in his hand. On the deck he saw the mate give the boy two or three blows ; the boy then had no trousers on. When aloft he saw the mate in chase of the boy. The boy ran along the yard-arm, where the mate struck him twice or thrice. The boy then jumped off the fore lee yard-arm to catch the back-stays, but he missed them and fell into the water. The boy might have been a quarter of an hour in the water. He could swim a little. The ship was put about, and the boy was picked up. He, witness, was then at the wheel. Harris, another seamen, was called into the witness box, but proved nothing. The Counsel for the mate then addressed the jury. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that an assault had been admitted ; the jury were to consider whether that assault had been justified, and if they should find so they were to acquit the prisoner. The jury, after consulting, found the mate Not Guilty. The mate is, however, still in custody. The case will be tried on a new indictment on Thurs day next. DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER RAILWAY. A very full and influential meeting of the shareholders of this Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, in consequence of the call of the Chairman of the Com mittee of Management, Sir Bruce Chichester, for the pur pose of hearing a statement of their affairs, and determin ing whether the Company should be carried on or not. The proceedings of the meeting, which throughout was an extremely stormy one, were opened by Sir BRUCE CHICHESTER, from whose statement it appeared that previous to his joining the Com mittee of Management the affairs of the Com pany had been carried on in a very improvi dent spirit ; that out of 61,000 shares that had been allotted only 28,000 had paid up the deposit, that the produce of those deposits was 32,395 L, that out of that amount there had been paid for preliminary ex penses, 4,3441. 1 ls. 3d.; for engineering and surveying expenses, 14,0501. ; for law expenses, 8,791/. 6s. ; for advertising, 2,639/. 19s. 4d. ; for printing and stationery, 5841. "; for travelling expenses, 2361. ; for rent, salary, &c., 557/. 15s. sd. ; for miscel laneous expenses, 186/. 3s. ld. ; to Dr. Blundell, not accounted for, 512/. 10s. ; leaving a balance in hand of only 4921. I , ls. The announcement of these expenses, and the statement of the balance in hand, created the greatest dissatisfaction in the meeting. The report of the Committee of Management having been read, a long and stormy discussion ensued, in the course of which several motions and amendments were proposed, and it was admitted that the affairs of the Company had been grossly mismanaged by the preceding Committee. Ultimately, amid great con fusion, the following motion was agreed to:—" That Sir Bruce Chichester, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr. Cham bers, be requested to form a Committee of Manage ment, with power to add to their number. That the Committee be authorised to issue shares to the extent required by Parliament, with this conditi,n, that if the necessary amount should not be subscribed for, the whole sum to be raised should be returned ; and that whatever steps can be taken without expense beyond the means in hand towards placing the project before Parliament, be so taken, and that the Committee of Management be requested to prepare a statement of the accounts of the Company, and that a copy thereof be sent to every share and scrip holder. The report of Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer, was read, and a vote of 'thanks was unanimously car tied to Sir Bruce Chichester, not only for his presiding over and calling the meeting that day, but for the manly course he had pursued in endeavouring to uphold the interest of the shareholders. THE GRAND JUNCTION AND MID. LANDS UNION RAILWAY. A meeting of the Shareholders in this Company, called for the purpose of considering the future steps to be taken by the Directors, ivas held a t t h e C ompany ' s offices, No. 1, Exchange - buildings, yesterday. Mr. Barlow was called to the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN asked the Secretary if it had been advertised in all the papers ? The Secretary having answered in the affirmative, The CHAIRMAN said he was sorry to find that the result was not su c h as t h ey m i ght have expected from the publicity which had been given to the advertise ments. Perhaps it might have been different if Lord Ingestre, the Chairman of the Company, had presided ; but as it was, he would endeavour to place the principal facts before them. It was well known to all the share holders present that at the time the present scheme came before the public there was none which had a greater number of applications for shares, or which stood higher in public estimation. It was no scheme of speculation, but one that promised areal and permanent income; cer tainly if it were to be prosecuted it would be attended with great advantages to the public and to the share holders. As things now stood, the position of the Com pany would be very different, supposing they brought the scheme before Parliament. True, the Committee might bear the expenses without troubling the share holders, and if they received the consent of the Provisional Committee, many of whom resided in the country, they could do so. They, however, legally required the sanc tion of those gentlemen, and therefore they would ask the shareholders to leave a moiety of their original depo sit 4 for the double purpose of meetkg all claims and securing to those so doing some portion of the original scrip. 'II e Secretary would read the report. The Secretary then read the report, which was in sub stance as follows: " The proposed railway was intended to commence on : The Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thittice in an easterly direction, to pass through or near to Tixll, Haywood, Colwich, an d Abb ots B romley, to the rapidly in creasing town of Burton-upon-Trent, where it would run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicabl e rou t e f rom S ta ff or d to Derby.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, DEC. 11. - There have been rather more inquirers in this market during the past week, but the demand is still very inanimate, and purchases confined to the immediate requirements of the manufacturers. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. 12. Sales of combing and clothing wools are confined to a mere supply of the immediate wants of the manufacturers, and prices continue to recede. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 12.—We have a better feeling this week than for several preceding ones for long wool, and there is more business doing, at prices which could hardly be realised last week. Short wools remain the same. LEEDS.—Business has been a little better at our cloth halls both on Saturday and Tuesday than for some weeks past, the goods in demand being such as are calculated for the spring trade for the United States and the Cana dian markets ; but for goods suitable for the home de mand there has been little done. Business has been very dull in the warehouses during the week. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—Wool.—There' is nothing more doing in any kind of combing wools, Colo nial or British, and the stock in the market of the latter is rather firmly held, owing to the growers adhering to shear day's price, which the staplers cannot afford to give to meet the prices offering here. Short wools and !lolls, although produced in very limited quantity, are dull of sale, and barely support last week's prices. Yarns.—We cannot learn anything: more cheering touching this important branch of the trade of this town and neighbourhood —a depression of unprecedented se verity, without the slightest hope of any immediate amendment. The price that wool is still maintaining, forbids its use. From all accounts, we hear its value is depreciated by being worked up into yarns, the current price being so ruinously low, that it is utterly impossible for the spinners to go on producing it without in curring serious loss, so that any plan dif ferent from the present, which is now so gene rally followed, and of doing as little as is practicable, is not likely to be adopted. The position of things is now engaging the serious attention of all connected with the trade, to know how the conflict between the price of wool and yarns will end ; it most clearly demonstrates the want of cheap food by the admission of foreign corn, thereby increasing the export of our manufactures, thus affording more employment to our operatives, and the most probable chance of enhanced prices to remunerate the employer. Pieces—The business done to-day and during the week has not been considerable, and as the merchants are generally preparing for stock taking at Christmas, they are only buying to supply any orders that may fall in upon them. The quantity of goods coming to market is now very much reduced, and as the manufacturers believe that yarns cannot long continue at the present low prices, they feel confident that, after the turn of the year, the demand for goods will increase, and prices assume an upward tendency. MANCHESTER, DEC. 11.—We are improving this week in our cloth market, and as the opinion is now ge neral that prices for most articles have seen their lowest point, a tolerable good business as regards de mand is very confidently expected. Spinners too are enabled to sell on fully as good terms as of late. On the whole things are decidedly better. NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton virought hose branch con tinues to rather slowly fall off in demand, and were it not that many of the frames are employed in making spun silk hose, this would be most seriously felt. There is " a spark of revival" in some quarters in the cut-up and drop- off hosiery, but not to the extent of giving any per ceptible relief. The same may be said of cotton gloves, and we have . heard of shops in rather remote situations being set on with full work. The drawer and pantaloon trade is very dull. The silk hosiery branches are much depressed, and are gradually falling off ; the silk g l ove branch, if anything, is in the best condition. The bobbin net trade, especially the fancy department, is in a most deplorable state, and to use the language of many of the commission agents, " There is no lace trade." It is as serted that the lace trade is worse th an it h as b een f or ten years. The warp tatting baanch has not recovered from the depressed state in which it has lingered for some months past. The lap and press branch is better than the tatting branch, and some few good patterns are in slight demand. The silk blond is but dull, but in some cases the jacquard frames have a demand.—Net tingham Review. DEEP SEA FISHINGS. BY MR. DEMPSTER. (From the Caledonian Mercury ) Annually before the 24th of June there arrives at Brassy Sound, in Shetland, a fle. t of fishing vessels, amounting at times to above one thousand. Those vessels are called busses, and principally belong to the Dutch, Danes, and Germans. The vessels are from 60 to 80 tons burden. They are decked, strong built, and carry a crew of from 14 to 20 hands. The busses are regularly fitted out with every requisite material, both for catching, curing, and packing the herrings in. The crews of those busses become sailors, fishers, curers, and coopers by turns. On the 24th of June the fishing fleet sails from Brassy Sound in quest of the deep sea herrings; their track is known and the shoals of herrings followed with the vessels. The herrings caught in deep water have a certain quantity of fixed oil in them, and are superior to those caught in shoal water, as they go there to spawn. When herrings are caught by the Dutch they are very carefully handled, so as not to injure the scale. They are assorted into three kinds, namely, matjes, under sized—voien, full-sized—ylen barring, shotten herring. Gutting, gilling, and bleeding with a knife, is the next process (which can be done cleanly and effectually on board ship when weather permits), they are then cured with Mediterranean Bay salt and a salt prepared in Hol land, which gives them an excellent flavour. The Dutch are particular about the wood their barrels are made of, choosing well-seasbned oak to any cther, as they think other descriptions of wood give to the pickle a bitter taste. Whilst packing the herring the Dutch are also particular; they wish to retain their full plump shape as much as possible. They don't squeeze them into the barrels. In all foreign countries herrings are mostly eaten in a raw state, so that a full plump clean-looking appearance is a recommendation to the Dutch cured herring. The Dutch get very high prices for their early caught 'herrings in the continental markets. Accompanying the fishing fleet there are always a number of fast-sailing yagers, or cutters. When a quan tity of herrings have been caught and cured on board the busses, they are sent direct to tho continental markets by those yagers. They have been known to realise a clear profit of from 131. to 151. per barrel; for early herring. It is asserted by De Witt, a great statesman of Hol land, in his " Interest of Holland," that 3,000 busses and 40,000 sailors were employed in the fishery, an d that the United Provinces thereby gained according to his calculations five pillions sterling per annum. The most of I)uteh fishing vessels belong to joint stock companies. The next of importance is the superior mode carried on by the Dutch and English fishing, for cod and other white fish. They mostly use hand lines, and so soon as the fish takes the bait they are immediately hauled up, hooked by the mouth or lip. It the fish be alive they are put into a well; dead, they are shortly afterwards cut up and pickled into barrels. The most .general mode of catching white fish in Scotland• is by settinglong lines with a great number of hooks. Those lines are allowed to lie in the water for a considerable time before being hauled. so that should a fish happen to take tie bait shortly after the line is set, by struggling they soon die, and if long dead before being brought to the shore, they are not in such a good condition for curing to they are immediately after being caught. Amongst other improvements in the Scottish fisheries, the trawl net might le introduced. It is well known there are plenty of sde and other descriptions of deli cate flat fish, about sandy bays and banks on the coast of Scotland, that are principally to be caught, with the trawl net. Basil Montagu, IN., the Accountant:in Bank. ruptcy, is to retire on s pension, and Mr. Richard Clarke, the Chancellor's Secretary of Bankrupts, is to succeed him. The salary is 1,500 E a year. th way, at the point where that railway formed a junction - wi the Derby and Nottingham Railway ; and thus, by Inee ns d these and other railways in progress, form al p line railway communication between the central towns of Stairaud Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester, P e terboroughtt, Boston on the east, and Shrewsb ur y, Ch es ter and BOP" DoTrth Wales, and Irelan d on the west." the he remainder of the report was an echo 0.
