DREADFUL LOSS OF THE MARY EMIGRANT SHIP, OF LONDON. STATEMENT OF THE SURVIVORS. The melancholy details of the appalling shipwreck of the Mary, an emigrant ship, of London, while on her homeward voyage from Sydney, and the dreadful fate of nearly all the passengers, have been received by the arrival of the Penyard Park packet ship, yesterday, in the London Docks. The Mary, which was built at Ipswich in the year 1811, had for some years been engaged in the conveyance of pas sengers and emigrants between London and New South Wales, and was the property of several persons. She was barque-rigged, and measured 368 tons burthen. On her de parture from Sydney, in addition to her crew, she had on board forty-three passengers, viz. :--Captain J. G. Collins, late Captain 13th Light Dragoons, his lady, four daughters, a son, and an attendant, named Sarah Saroom ; the wife of the commander, Captain Newby, and three daughters; Mrs. Evans, five daughters, and one son ; Mrs. Heather, and three sons ; Mrs. Turnbull ; Mr. and Mrs. Bushel, with child; Sarah Guy, Sarah Folkes, Eliza Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Hofferman, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, and ten emigrants named J. Abbott, W. S. Hall, Heather, M. Nicholson, S' Gayer, G. Hannon, G. Jones, J. Neale, J. Wilkinson, and T.. Newman. She was also freighted with a valuable cargo, comprising wool, tallow, oil, and other merchandise, with a case of bullion. The loss took place six days after leaving Sydney, en a sunken rock off Flinder's Island, in Bass Straits, between three hundred and four hundred miles from Sydney. So sudden was the catastrophe, which happened in the middle of the night, that seven minutes only elapsed from her striking and breaking up, and seventeen women and children met with a watery grave. As considerable blame has been imputed to the owners of the vessel for navigating her in the condition she is alleged to have been in, and to the surveyor of Lloyd's at Sydney, who certified that she was safe and sound, the following statement of the survivors will more fully explain the cir cumstance attending the wreck : Captain Collins, of the 13th Light Dragoons, states—The Mary sailed from the heads of Port Jackson on Monday mornin g , the 19th of May, and the wind being unfavour able for New Zealand, Captain Newby coasted to the south, and attempted the passage through Bass's Straits. After doubling Wilson Promontory, the wind veered to the west, and the captain, fearing that at the advanced season of the year the wind would continue for a length of time to the westward, resigned all hope of going home by the Cape of Good Hope, and putting about ship, made for New Zealand. He expressed regret at the disappointment he had met with as from the leaky state of the ship, which made six inches of water per hour, he wished to keep near the land as long as he possibly could, the rigging being also defective, and not having a second set of sails on board. At about a quarter past eleven • o'clock on Saturday night, the 24th instant, the alarm of the ship being in danger was given by Captain Newby to the cabin passengers, who were all in bed, and he desired them to dress and hasten upon deck. The cabin passengers were Mrs. Newby, her three daugh ters, and servant, Mrs. Turnbull, Mrs. Collins, four daugh ters, and one son at the breast, two maid servants and my self. We had scarcely left our berths when the ship struck upon the reef, (and the crushing noise of the timbers was distinctly heard above the roar of the breakers, and in less than three minutes the water rushed violently into the cabin as high as our knees, w hen she struck a second time. Th e mainmast than sank through the bottom of the ship, its maintop and topmasts being supported by the main deck. The same shock that caused such devastation forced the cabin door, which opened and shut in a slide, to close nearly on us, the ship at the time being so much on her starboard side that it was doubtful whether she would not capsize. Fortunately I perceived the door closing in sufficient time to introduce try hand into the open space so as to push back the door, and with the utmost difficulty I succeeded in getting upon deck all the passengers. This was scarcely effected when the bottom of the ship separated from the sides, carrying away the lower cabin deck, which we had just left—the tuns of oil and cargo dashing against tha reef. and the breakers washing over us with fearful vio lence. The only boats that were available were the whale boat, on the larboard quarter, and the long boat, on the main deck. Some of the passengers were put into each of these boats, and I had just placed Mrs. Collins in the long boat, when I heard Sarah calling for me to take the boy from her. as she was unable to hold him any longer. I with great difficulty reached her, and put a rope into her hand, which I desired her to hold by until I had put the child into the boat, when I would return for her and my two girls— Augusta and Kate. I had scarcely left her when a breaker broke over the deck, carrying me with great force against a water-butt. I effected my way to the long boat, and, while giving the child to its mother, the main topmast fell overboard, crushing the whale-boat, which was lying upon the skids alongside of it, and immediately after the fore and mizenmasts, with all their sails set, also fell overboard on starboard side, on which the deck righted, but the rigging of these masts, all lying across the deck, inter cepted the communication fore and aft. I was searching for my two daughters, Augusta and Kate, and the maid Sarah, when I saw the captain, who informed me that he had just put them with his family, a moment befere, in the whale boat on the larboard quarter, when they were all safe ; that the deck was about breaking up , and if I valued my life I would follow him. He wished to have returned to the whale boat, but the deck beginning to separate, he made imme diately for the long boat, which we contrived to reach. The breakers continued to wash over us, and the masts being gone, we had no power to launch the boat. At this critical moment, when all hope of preserving life had nearly aban doned us, the deck suddenly parted between the main and foremasts, and the long boat pitched stern foremost into the sea, and, notwithstanding the quantity of water and people in her, she quickly righted. We discovered that both the plugs were out ; on which one of the men tore the sleeve off his shirt, and by its aid partly succeeded in stopping the water. With the aid of boots, shoes, and hats, we contrived to keep the boat afloat, but having only one oar, we had the greatest difficulty in avoiding the numerous casks and broken wreck which threatened us on every side. From the time the ship struck, until the deck broke up, only seven minutes had elapsed. While we were surrounded by the floating pieces of the wreck, a huge wave dashed a cask of tallow over my head against the in side of the starboard side, near the stern, and carried away eighteen inches of gunwale and upper streaks; a tun of oil followed the course of the cask of tallow striking off my hat in its passage; but the cask of tallow having already made a breach in the side of the boat, it met with no resistance, and passed into the sea, deluging the boat with oil. One of the sailors named Todd swam to the boat from the wreck with an oar, and we then got into smooth water. The sea outside the reef as well as the wind being nearly calm, we heard the voices of some sailors, which we supposed to be the men in the whale boat, and we steered in the direction the sound Came from. On nearing these men they stated that the whale boat had foundered, and that Mrs. Newby was the only person saved. Her escape was effected by her catching a rope alongside the broken deck in the water, when one of the men hauled her on deck. The piece of the ship that was afloat was the quarter-deck, on which we found twelve men and Mrs. Newby. We obtained six oars more and two tuba, the men also found a cask of brandy, and asked whether they should drop it into the boat, but the sailors, noble fellows ! were unanimous in rejecting the brandy, from a sense of the evils it might cause. Nothing could surpass the undaunted self-possession which charac terised the conduct of the captain and crew throughout this fearful night, and the men we rescued from the wreck waited there in the most collected and steady manner until each was called by name, when he dropped quietly into that part of the boat assigned him. The ladies and children were sit ting up to their waists in water and oil, and the boat was stove in three places. The large breach made by the tallow cask the carpenter had contrived partially to repair with his coat and some tallow he found in the boat, and the broken piece which he picked up. In this wretched state, the water gaining on us whenever the least inter ruption took place in bailing the boat, we continued for nine hours and a half, and at half•past eight o'clock on Sunday morning we landed on the island, about eighteen miles distant from the reef struck by the ship. On reach ing the shore those who were piously disposed returned their grateful and unfeigned thanks to the Almighty for the miraculous interposition he had been pleased to manifest in so signally preserving us from the numerous dangers that had threatened us. The very rottenness of the ship, in the end, insured our safety, for had not the bottom separated from the sides, and the deck broken up, we could not have Ueed the long-boat ; we probably should have died from hunger, or been crushed by the casts, &c., which the breakers dashed about in all directions. The day was mild and warm, and we commenced arrangements far our future conduct. On reckoning the number landed, we found that 42 per sons had been saved, and 17 drowned. On the afternoon of Sunday Capt. Newby, with five of the crew, left us in search of the settlement, as we knew Government had a station on Flinder's Island ; but we were uncertain that the Wand we were on was the same. The only food the party took with them was one slice of pumpkin each . All Monday passed over, t ladies and children began to sink, despair was expressed by many, and fervent were our prayers to God for aid. Never did the words of our Lord's Prayer appear to me so impres sive as they then did—" Give us this day our daily bread." On the morning of Tuesday, the third day, my eldest sur viving daughter, near seven years old , showed g reat symp toms of debility, and death seemed stamped in her counte nance. I had succeeded in collecting some limpets, and was entering the bower when I heard a cheer, and in a few mi • mites a strange man and boy, with a havresack, made their • appearance. The man said he brought supplies of food and clothing. The distance from the settlement was twenty-live miles, and the road impracticable to delicate females and children. The wind was unfortunately adverse, and we de termined to await the returu of the captain, who arrived in the middle of the night. The next morning, the wind being still against us, the captain sent off all the crew and passen gers capable of travelling by land to the settlement. The rain continued to descend in torrents, and the wind remaining unfavourable and strong, the communication with the set tlement both by land and water became impassable for ten days, only the females and children receiving an allowance of food. We, on the eighth day from our landing, got into the long boat, and proceeded by water towards the settlement, and reached it about half-past ten o'clock that night, Captain Collins concluded by stating that it is evident, from the man ner in which the old rotten bottom separated from the sides, which were comparatively new, that the Mary would have looutnAered in the first gale of wind ; at all events, she could n , r t i lave been reasonably expected to double Cape Horn. w owners of the Mary, in the most positive terms, re fisted the of the ship's unseaworthiness, and in proof produced the certificate of her soundness, as given by Mr. Ashmore, surveyor for Lloyd's, Those who Perished were Mrs.daughters, Airs. and two Mrs. Guy, Mrs. Turnbull, Sarah Folkes, the whole family of Mrs. Evans (six in number) the three dauehters of the corn mender, Captain Ne w b y , K a therine, daughters ofd Captain the Misses Augusta and Collins. The ship was a total loss, and all she contained, valued at between 20,0001. and 30,0001. SOUT II WARK.—The free trailer s or this influential borough are up and doing.

FATAL KICK WHILE CLIPPING A HoßaE.—On Saturday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Midd On le sex Hospital, on the body of George Hollow a y , aged 24. the 4th ult. the deceased was assisting a clipper named Hughes, at the stables of Mr. Hill, jnb-master, High-street, Marylebone. n The deceased was sitting on the g round j ust ti wi !s e h n ing off one of the hind hocks of a very timi d horse, striking dog passing by startled it, and it kicked out its hoof, a eeemed in the forehead.

Verdict, Accidental death." T II IRELAND. SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR WESTMEATH. DUBLIN, Nov. 29.—The Warder of this day says :—" We have learned from undoubted authority that Government has resolved on issuing a Special Commission for the county of Westmeath. The judges named are Chief Justice Do herty, the Chief Baron, and Baron Pennefather. One of the first duties of the Commission will be to try the persons in custod for the attack on Sir Francis Hopkins. The day of present na med for the opening of the Commission is Satur day, the 27th of December. THE EIGHTY-TWO CLUB. The annual dinner of the above club took place on Thurs day night in the Rotunda. Upwards of one hundred mem bers were present. Many of the prominent members of the club were pre cluded from being present at the banquet. Amongst those unavoidably absent was the president, Mr. O'Connell. A recent domestic calamity, which had deprived him of a near relative, precluded him and the immediate members of his family from participating in the festive scene. The place of Chairman upon this occasion was filled by William Smith O'Brien, M.P., V.P. ; Henry Grattan, BLP., V.P., and Richard Albert Fitzgerald, M.P., V.P., filled the vice chairs. The banquet-room was without decoration, save that the banner of the club waved from the central gallery. Crowds of ladies thronged the benches. The banquet having been concluded and grace pro nounced, The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret that Mr. O'Connell and Mr. John O'Connell were absent, and that one so un worthy as he was had been deputed to act as president. He then gave the health of "The Queen."--(Cheers.) The toast having been received with all the honours, The CHAIRMAN again rose and said—The next toast which I have to propose is, that we denominate our charter toast—(Cheers) --the test of our political creed — (Cheers) —the vow that we renew at these our meetings, that we shall be contented with nothing less than the legislative independence of our country.— (Cheers.) After expressing his regret that more of the wealthier class had not joined them, the Honourable Gentleman pro ceeded—Thank God that source of disunion which arose from our becoming the abettors of English factions is at an end.—(Cheers.) Irishmen are no longer Whigs or Tories; they are Patriots, Nationalists, Repealers, if you please. — (Cheers.) But no longer shall it be said that we are di vided by English factions.—(Hear, hear.) I shall not con ceal from you my belief that we are ourselves in some measure in fault on account of the distrust entertained by some. I cannot but fear that the course we often take in the press, and in our public assemblies, partakes too much of the spirit of ancient times—the disposition to vituperate the characters of those who, perhaps, may be in error. I ask no compromise with error itself. I ask no one to screen injus tice ; but I ask and enjoin the men I see around me, on all occasions, to treat with respect honest indifferences of opi nion. In conclusion, he gave " The Legislative Independence of Ireland." The company rose, and pledged the toast with unbounded enthusiasm. Mr. ALEXANDER 111‘Canurf proposed the next toast. It was " The memory of the Volunteers of 1782." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. O'NEILL, of Bunowen Castle, next rose to propose " The health of Mr. O'Connell." The toast was received with unbounded enthusiasm. Mr. JOHN MITCHELL, then gave " The memory of Thomas Davis ;" and lauded the patriotism, private worth, and intel lectual power of that lamented gentleman. Sir C. OTOGHLEN then gave the " Irish House of Lords of 1719," and took a review of Irish history at this and preceding periods, which was received with loud applause. He then said he had heard it stated that repeal could not be obtained. How absurd was the thought? Was there anything more unfavourable to their nationality than their position in 1719 ? yet how gloriously had they achieved their independence. Did not the same blood flow in their veins as in those of their forefathers, and why should they doubt that they would obtain a repeal of the union '—(Cheers.) They should imitate the example of the volunteers of 1782—for give their past injuries, and forget their past differences. False friends might betray them, but onwards they would go. The cause had sunk deeply into the hearts of the Irish people, and if they persevered they would accomplish the dream of Molyneux, the hope of Swift, that for which Flood struggled, and that which Grattan upheld—the independence of their country.—(Cheers.) Mr. M. DOHENY next proposed—" The Earl of Bristol, Bishop of Derry, and the Patriot Clergy of 1712." The CHAIRMAN then proposed—" The Commons Majority of 1789, and the Minority of 100." They were also taught by the events which preceded the union, that no confidence could be placed in England.—(Cheers.) In connexion with the toast he might be permitted to refer to the memory of a father to whom he was much attached, and amongst the most cherished reminiscences of his family was the fact that he was one of the noble band who refused the honours that dishomured those who accepted them; and in referring to the subject of the toast he could not avoid homage to the memory of a beloved parent."—(Cheers.) Mr. H. GRATTAN, M.P., next proposed "Their Native Land." This toast, which was the last, was warmly responded to, and the assembly broke up at eleven o'clock. THE CALAMITOUS OCCURRENCE ON THE ROYAL CANAL. _ The proceedings at the inquest on the fifteen persons drowned in the passage boat on the Royal Canal, was con cluded on Thursday. An immense number of persons were present. It was painful in the last degree to witness the visitors examining the bodies—as many persons had come from town and country with the view of identifying their friends or acquaintances, and in two or three instances bodies were recognised, and then arose a shout of grief and lamentation which the sternest heart could not resist. There still remain six persons whose bodies have not been recog nised ; one of them is a beautiful young girl, Christian name supposed to be Mary. She came from Liverpool in company with a person named Morris, and she told him she was going to a place called Rueskey. A Mrs. Beattey, who was going to Leitrim, had a most miraculous escape, and gives a fearful account of the aeeident ; Mrs. Mulligan (lost); lived some where about Longford, and was returning from Boston, in America, where she had gone to bring home her daughter, a pretty young girl, who was saved by the courage and hu manity of Jessop, a private belonging to the Bth Husaars, a fine fellow of undaunted courage, who saved two or three lives with his own hands, and for which the company has rewarded him in a handsome manner. Coffins were provided for all the bodies, and some of those recognised were taken away by their friends in the course of the day, when the jury was called over. Mr. Perry said, on behalf of the Company, that they had resolved on sending the survivors home free of all expense ; the Company would make good any loss or damage sus tained by the passengers, send them home free, and give to each of them 11. in addition to their expense and loss. To Jessop they would give 51., and make good his loss, and also recommended him strongly to his colonel. In fact, nothing should be left undone by the Company to make every repa ration they could, and as to the property which was now in possession of the police and the superintendence of the magistrates, the Company would give a guarantee to the magistrates for it, in order to bear them harmless if any mistake might occur in the distribution of property or claims to it hereafter by the representatives of the deceased parties. The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with. After about half. an-hour's consultation, the jury returned the following verdict : " We find that the said Edward Rutledge, Thomas Bannon, Michael Moran, and Catherine Mulligan, with four men whose names are unknown, and five women whose names are unknown, and two children whose names are unknown, came by their deaths by being suffocated and drowned in the pas sage-boat, Longford, in the Royal Canal, near Clonsilla bridge aforesaid, on Tuesday, November 25, 1845, and that it was in some measure occasioned by the neglect of the master, Christopher O'Connor, the steersman, James Dunne, and the very culpable neglect of Patrick Teeling, a free pas senger; and we further find that the upsetting of the said boat was occasioned by the most gross negligence of the said Patrick Teeling after the helm was given in his charge by the said James Dunne; and we further find the said Patrick Teeling guilty of manslaughter. We also further find a great want of caution in the existing regulations concerning the construction of the passage-boats, the regulation of the number of passengers to be carried. and the duties of the crew ; and we further find a deodand on the said boat of 1001. sterling." The coroner then made out his warrant, and committed Treeling for trial at the commission for manslaughter. The proceedings then terminated. THE LATE FAILURE. The following notification appears in the Dublin Gazette of last night;— "Abel Labertouche and Hugh Stafford, both of the city of Dublin, notaries public, stock-brokers, merchants, traders, dealers and chapman, and co-partners in trade ; to surrender on Thursday, the 11th day of December next, and on Friday, the 9th day of January following." The liabilities of this firm are said to be much larger than had been supposed,! and rumours are afloat respecting the nature of those liabilities which it would be premature to no tice at present. Much less alarm prevails in monetary circles here, and it is likely that confidence will soon be re-establihed. THE CORN-LAWS and LORD JOHN RUSSELL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The tide has at length reached its highest point, and the agitation of years is crowned by obtaining a Russell. I am truly thankful that he has forestalled Sir Robert Peel. That statesman, the stereotype of improvement, will con tinue, as he has always done, a mere copyist. But in our acquisition, we must not forget that this country would have escaped many of the perils it has passed through had Lord John been sooner convinced ;—however the efforts of the League are well and amply repaid in at last securing such a tower of strength as Lord John Russell. May he be the man to open to his country a long era of happiness. Sir Robert must indeed be sadly annoyed, when he reflects how he has allowed the opportunity of placing himself in the po sition that Lord John Russell will now occupy, pass by. Let the corn-law be abolished to-morrow, Sir Robert has lost the credit of doing it; he has become the servant of other men's opinions, and not the master of his own. The hope of obtaining a niche among great men, after death, must burn very dim, on the reflection of his having dallied with one of the greatest questions of the day, at a time, too, when famine is pointing to the corn-law as the cause of her appearance. Yours, &c. OBSERVER. Devonport, Nov. 28, 1845. STRIKE AMONG TUE RAILWAY LABOURERS IN PERTHSHIRE.— In consequence of the shortening of the hours of daily labour at this season, the contractors for the portion of the Scottish Central Railway now in course of formation near Auchterarder, intimated to their workmen their inten tion to reduce their wages two shillings per week. This re duction about 400 persons resisted, and on Thursday and Friday they walked about the streets of Auchterarder with their working implements on their shoulders, but committed no acts of violence. The sheriff and other authorities had previously made provision against such an emergency, by constituting a large number of additional constables in the districts to be traversed by the line of railway ; and the whole arrangements were so effective that not a single act of outrage occurred. After two days' idleness 340 of the mal contents returned to work upon their masters' terms, and the remaindr went off peaceably to see and obtain better else where. At first some of the railway officials had objected to the strength of the permanent railway police established by the Sheriff in the districts where the labourers are congre gated; but they may see from this instance that the preven tion of crime is not only better than its punishment for so ciety', but for these public undertakings also.—Perth Courier. e:atigea/E inII CING AM PALACE.—Above 100 workmen are making necessary alterations and re. embellishing the interior of this regal residence, and we understand the orders are, that th e w h ale are to be completed by the second week in January, for the reception of her Majesty and suite. TAB ROYAL STIGUO UND s s —lf Royal Irghn Prince George of Cambridge, Lord Rosslyn, i i Sr John Heath cote, lt co te, several of the officers of th e 4th Light Dragoons, from Hounslow, and a field of upwards of t wo hundred were at the meet on Friday, at Stoke Common. The celebrated deer, Jim Crow, upon being uncarted on the Common, took away to the vicarage, heading to the left to Hedgerley Park, th ro ugh the village , whe re it " took t o the road," for three miles on to Beaconsfield. Jim Crow, after three-quarters of an hour's run, was taken close to the town and housed at Mr. Hare's. P goodly number was up at the finish, LAW INTELLIGENCE his order, for that he could not vfben the, action Avai brou4ht tell to whom he was indebted, and had sworn so on the pre vious examination. The insolvent, being now questioned by the Court, said that Godsdell called upon him and told him that he had bought the debt, but that Messrs Lyall had agreed that their name might be used as plaintiffs. The Learned CO3DiI&iIONER said that the insolvent put himself out of Court by defending an action after such a warning. Mr. Hughes said, that if Messrs. Lyall were present it would be seen that Godsdell's statement was false ; it was a great hardship on the insolvent to compel him to come up again merely because the party who could give the best evidence was not in attendance. _ . . Mr. Lucas said this was a flagrant case, and the insolvent was not entitled to his final order; he had himself admitted that he had defended the action after notice ; indeed, it was clear he had wilfully withheld the fact on the previous occa sion, and had only let it slip accidentally. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he would not grant the order or protection, but the insolvent might come up again when ➢lr. LTall could attend. . . ➢lr. Lucas objected to the re-opening of a case which had already been decided by a jury. The COURT said Mr. Lyall might be summoned at insol vent's expense. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Carney, Benjamin Barnett, and William Lewis, were charged with cutting and wounding Edward Burgess and Joseph Bray, two police-constables, while in the execu tion of their duty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne defended the prisoner Barnett. The other two were undefended. Mr. BODKIN stated the case, and then proceeded to call his witnesses. Edward Burgess, police-constable 198 H, stated that he was on duty in plain clothes in the Whitechapel-road, at half-past eight on the evening of the 13th November, and he observed a horse and cart standing before the door of the King's Arms public-house. He knew that the two men who drove the cart were associates of thieves, and suspecting something wrong, he called another policeman, Bray, and leaving him in charge of the cart, he himself entered the public-house. He saw in the room inside a great many men of bad character, but could not find the two men he bad seen with the cart. He afterwards returned to Bray, and told him that they must drive the horse and cart to the station-house. They had taken hold of the horse's head with the intention of removing him, when about twenty men rushed out of the house, calling upon them to leave the horse alone. The prisoner Carney attempted to get into the cart, but did not succeed in doing so. He could see Barnett and Lewis there also. Barnett said to witness, " Mr. Burgess, let go the cart, it belongs to him," pointing to a person named Myers, who was sitting in the cart. He replied that he must remove the cart, and imme diately after he wasstruck three or four blows by Lewis, and Carney struck him on the face with such violence that the end of his nose was almost cut off. He was again struck on the left temple, and fell. Two r•f the persons present carried him to a surgeon's. The prisoners were all the associates of thieves. Joseph Bray, also of the II division, proved that Carney struck Burgess with an open penknife. He himself was soon after struck by a life-preserver by Barnett, and fell, and the cart was driven off by some of the persons present. He was confined to the hospital for some days. Carney, on being taken into custody, said that he was thirty miles distant on the night of the alleged assault. Mr. Sanders, surgeon, at the London Hospital, said when Burgess was brought in, he discovered that the cartilage of the nose was severed, and a severe gash was inflicted on the temple. The wounds were such as might have been inflicted by a pen-knife. The prisoner Lewis, in his defence, said that he had not been in the crowd at all. Mr. PAYNE, after addressing the jury, called several wit nesses, who positively swore that Barnett was not the man who attacked the policeman Bray. Carney offered no defence. Mr. BODKIN shortly replied. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury, after consulting for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. The RECORDER then sentenced Carney to be transported for life, and Barnett and Lewis to be severally transported for fifteen years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) Mary Fowler, 35, a woman of repulsive appearance, was indicted for! that she on the 26th of November did make an assault on Hannah Connor, and with a chopper inflicted a wound on her forehead with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Platt conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the defence. Hannah Connor stated that she is the wife of a shoe maker, residing at 19, Half-moon-street, Bishopsgate-street. She resides iu the same room with her father, mother, sister, and husband. The prisoner lived in the room under them. On the evening of Wednesday, the 26th, her father sent her down stairs to fetch some water. Just as she had got the water she heard a noise in the yard, and ran nu stairs without shutting the door. Her father asked her if she had shut it, and when she told him that she had not he went down stairs for the purpose of shutting it. The prisoner met him in the passage, and became abusive, saying the door was left open for the purpose of annoying her. Her mother then came down, and some words passed between her and the prisoner, but they were separated. The prisoner was then standing at her own room-door, and she said to witness, "rome here." Witness went up to her, and when she came within reach the prisoner drew a small chopper from behind her, and struck her on the forehead. The blow was so violent that it knocked her down and rendered her insensible. When she came to herself she found that she had received a serious wound on the forehead, and was covered with blood. Witness had not spoken to her in any way which could annoy her. By Mr. HUDDLESTONE—There had been a great many complaints made by the landlord that the back door of the house had been left open, to the annoyance of all the lodgers on the ground floor. Witness put a stone against it to keep it open. She laughed loudly when .she get up stairs, but it was in consequence of something that her father said, and which did not refer to her leaving the door open. When her mother went down and spoke to the prisoner there were very angry words used, but no blows passed before the pri soner struck her. Does not remember anything after that, as she was quite insensible. John Goodchild, the father of the last witness, stated that on the evening of Wednesday last, he sent his daughter down to fetch some water. She came running up stairs immediately after, as if frightened. He asked her if she had shut the door, and she said that she had not. He then went down himself to shut the door, and the prisoner came out of her room and became very abusive. After some words had passed she took a chopper from behind her dress and struck his daughter on the forehead. The blow rendered her insen sible, and the wound inflicted bled to an alarming extent. By Mr. HUDDLESTONE--There had been no fighting or scratching before the blow was inflicted. Benjamin Catmouth, a police-constable, proved that he took the prisoner into custody. There were from 60 to 70 people round the door, and there was a great disturbance. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. HUDDLE STONE then addressed the jury at some length in defence, and called Timothy Ryan, the landlord of the house in which the parties lodged. He stated that the family of the Connors and Goodchild were very noisy, and that they beat the pri soner, who, in defending herself, accidentally struck the pro secutrix with a chopper which she had in her hand. The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty of a common assault." Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, in passing sentence, said that he hoped that the prisoner would indulge in no further bad feeling against the prosecutor, as she had recommended her to mercy. Her crime assumed a very bad appearance, as the instrument with which the injury was inflicted might have caused her death. The Court, however, taking all the cir cumstances into consideration, would pass a lenient sentence, which was that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months.

THE CORN-LAWS.-Mr. Ashurst, Mr. Peacock, and Mr. Johnson, members of the Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayor yesterday, and presented to his Lordship the following requisition, which was signed by fifty of the representatives of the wards of the City:— " We, the undersigned members of the Corporation, respectfully request your Lordship will call a Special Court of Uommon Council at your earliest convenience, to consider the propriety of petitioning her Majesty to take all such means as she may constitutionally possess for throwing open the ports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the free importation of food." Mr. Ashurst said that if it were thought necessary, the number of requisitionists could be vastly increased. The LORD MAYOR said the proposal to call a Court of Common Council upon such a subject required some consideration. Did the deputation who waited upen him think that there was an emergency which demanded immediate attention ? He thought himself that there was no occasion at all for haste in the matter. Mr. Ashurst believed the emergency to be extreme. He submitted that upon receiving a requisition so nume rously signed, and upon a question of such importance a Chief Magistrate had no alternative. The deputation applied merely for the opportunity of discussing the subject which occupied the public mind to so great an extent. The LORD MAYOR said he really could not see that there was any emergency. There was employment for more hands than could be procured to do the labour which the activity of public business required. The price of bread, notwithstanding all that had been said upon the subject, was low, and why any agitation should be encouraged in the City of London, when the pros perity of the country appeared to be of so cheering a description, he could not at all comprehend. Mr. Ashurst said the deputation did not mean to at tempt to interfere with his Lordship's opinion upon the question of throwing open the ports. The propriety of the measure might or might not be questionable, but the propriety of discussing it could not at all be disputed. The LORD MAYOR thought Thomas's-day (the day of Common Council Election) had something to do with the application. Mr. Ashurst and the other gentlemen of the deputa tion denied that such a thing ever entered into their ima gination as the idea of recommending themselves to the constituency by bringing forward the question. If they had had time, they would have procured 150 signatures to the requisition instead of 50. The LORD MAYOR observed that a dozen si g natures would be sufficient on an occasion upon which the neces sity of calling a Court was apparent ; but he must say he could not see any occasion at all for haste. Besides, if the subject required discussion, why did not their deputation make application for as public a meeting as possible ? Why did they not assemble in Common Hall at once ? Mr. Peacock said they had very good reasons for not meeting in Common Hall, inasmuch as the Livery could not go up with an address to the Throne. If it were otherwise, there could be no hesitation as to the course to be adopted. Mr. Johnson submitted to the Lord Mayor that the urgency of the case demanded an immediate acqui esence upon the part of his Lordship. The winter was at hand, bringing with it its usual concomitants of misery and distress to the poor, and it was incumbent upon those who represented so large a portion of the popula tion to do all they could to ward off the afflicting con tingencies of the period. The LORD MAYOR—I shall consider the matter, and give you an answer as soon as possible. Mr. Chapple, a newspaper agent in the City, applied to the Lord Mayor for a summons, calling upon the directors, or secretary, or provisional committee of one of the railroad speculations, to answer the charge of having refused to pay back some money which he (the applicant) had depesited in the hands of the London Joint-Stock Bank to the account of the speculation. The LORD MAYOR said he had heard a great deal about the refusal of directors to pay back de posits after they found it was impossible for them to go to Parliament in the ensuing session, and he should be happy to exercise whatever power he might have to serve parties who were inconvenienced by the dishonest detention of their money. His Lordship desired to know whether the company was broken up. Mr. Chapple said he had paid 841. at the London Joint-Stock Bank upon a letter of allotment for forty shares. Soon after he had paid that money, he received a letter stating that the directors would be satisfied with ten shillings a share instead of two guineas, and subse quently be had learned that the company had suspended their operations, but on applying for his money, he was not only refused that, but even the scrip had not been forthcoming. The directors seemed to him to be disposed to gain some advantage from the project at all events, for without any rational pretext they persevered in hold ing his property. The Lotto MAYOR.—I shall certainly do all I can to assist you. I shall grant a summons, and try what can be done to prevent the consequences of such an evil to my fellow-citizens. THE KENNINGTON MURDER. LAMBETH POLICE COURT. The prisoner was brought up for farther evidence. Win. Quennell, Kennington-lane, is half-brother to the prisoner by'the same father. Prisoner is about 22 ; witness is 39 years of age. Prisoner was in his employment as a labouring man. Knows Daniel Fitzgerald, the deceased, who was also in his employment up to his death on Thursday last. Witness heard of his death about five minutes after witness had paid him half-a crown ; then the other labourer came back and said he was shot. Witness went to Peacock-street and found deceased had been carried into the public-house. Witness had not discharged the prisoner. He worked on witness's premises last Wednes day week. Witness told him last Saturday-week, at night, on paying him his wages, that he had better look out for work somewhere else, as they should be slack. This he told prisoner on Wednesday previously. On Saturday he added as a reason what Fitzgerald told him. Witness's wife first began, " Samuel," said she, "how came you to say what you did say, against William, after he has been so kind to you ?" Prisoner said, " I don't know I have been saying any thing wrong." What you have been saying to Dan, that you had a good mind to go and give prisoner a b—y good hiding ; and if you got money you meant to set up in business against him, and go round to his customers. Prisoner said he had said some things, but Dan had told more than what he had said, and that it was through Fitzgerald that he had said what he did say. That Fitzgerald had tried to get him to say things against witness. it was all Fitzgerald's fault. A person came in at this point of the conversation to pay wit ness an account, and stopped its progress, when prisoner went out. Prisoner gave no reason for Fitzgerald's doing this. His manlier of saying this was his usual manner, sullen and indistinct. Witness never heard him speak against Fitzgerald. To the best of witness's knowledge, pri soner and Fitzgerald were always on the best of terms. Before the Saturday, witness heard of these words from Fitzgerald, but had said nothing of it, lest it should excite jealousy between them. Witness's wife, seeing some differ ence between witness and prisoner, asked Fitzgerald what the reason was, and thus came to know and to speak of it. After 'Wednesday week prisoner did not work for witness. The conversation happened on the Saturday following. Witness saw prisoner on Sunday morning near the Ship public-house, but had no conversation with him since the conversation in question till the death of Fitzgerald. Witness is not aware whether prisoner ever after came to his yard. Prisoner lives in Frederick-street, which is near Peacock-street. One might go from Kenning ton-lane to Frederick-street through Peacock-street. Five o'clock is the proper hour for leaving off since last Saturday week. Witness believes prisoner knew this. Twelve o'clock is the dinner-hour. Had not seen the prisoner on Thursday. Fitzgerald had been in witness's employment seven or eight years, and the prirs , ner for five months. had observed prisoner and Fitzgerald, and thought them too familiar. Had not seen his brother lurking about his premises. By sullen witness means a disagreeable manner of answering. By MAGISTRATE—Witness expected prisoner to apply for work again on Monday, but he did not. The conversation took place in the front-kitchen, where they are in the habit of paying the men. Mrs. Quennell, wife of the last witness—Recollects Satur day week, and the prisoner coming in to be paid by her bus k band, about 7 P.M., and asked him how he could be so unkind as to speak so to Fitzgerald about his master? In the morning Fitzgerald told her, that at the building where prisoner was at work, prisoner came and stuck the shovel into the mortar, and said he had a good mind to go and knock his brother on the head ; and if he had money he would go and set up against him. Witness told prisoner all this, and prisoner replied it was all Fitzsgerald's fault, he had urged him on to it. Fitz gerald had said to prisoner he knew Quennell better than he (prisoner) did. Mrs. Quennell added, that was no excuse for you,', ou (prisoner) ought to have come and told us what Fitzgerald had) been saying. Witness thought she saw tears in prisoner's eyes that •evening ; he appeared much hurt. Thinks Fitzgerald and prisoner were on good terms, both were wrestling together about a fortnight before, when deceased hurt himself so as to be off work about a fortnight. Witness did not see prisoner after that. Mrs. Quennell expected him up on Monday. She had seen Fitzgerald afterwards. On Tuesday she asked whether Fitzgerald had seen prisoner. He said " No." By Mr. Games—She knows prisoner knew where Fitzgerald lived. Mrs. Quennell was re-called—But certainly did not know of any quarrel, or intimation of intention to quarrel, by either party. Witness has been at prisoner's lodgings. Never knew prisoner had a pistol, but has never been into prisoner's room. —M‘Carty—Does notknow whether prisoner and deceased had seen each other last week, before the occurrence. Witness as he went to dinner saw prisoner opposite the Horse and Groom. Does not know when Fitzgerald was there. Witness was not near prisoner. Prisoner was in the road before the Horse and Groom with his face towards Kenning ton-lane. By Mr. Games—Witness saw a person coming towards him before the flash, but had not time to speak before. Imme diately on deceased saying " I'm a dead man," witness saw prisoner quite clearly, and followed him up. Pi i soner began to run when near Kennington-lane. Witness lost sight of him at the corner. James Parkes, plane maker, has seen the prisoner before; never but once before, and that was Saturday night week, nearly about eight o'clock, at Mrs. Tubbs', in the New-cut. Her shop is a general sale shop. Prisoner came up to the shop front and handled a pistol, which was hanging at the shop door. Witness was then in the shop. Prisoner turned it round and examined it; he then pulled the trigger and broke the hammer. This called witness's attention to the prisoner, for l►e thought it a bad thing for him and his family, it being Saturday night. Witness heard the shopman say it was a bad job, but he must pay for it. Something passed between pri soner and the shopman after that, but it was not heard. Witnesss recognised the shopman in Court. After some words between the shopman and prisoner, prisoner went a little way from the shop door, but then returned, and both came into the shop. He bought the pistol, and paid 2s. for the accident, and ss. for the pistol, adding, " I did intend buying one, but not to-night.' After this, having put the pistol into his pocket, prisoner took up an accordion. The pistol bought was one of a kind the same as that in Court. He tuned the accordion, and smiled when asked to buy .it, nod, laid_ it down and went out. Wit- nt - ' g‘fti'!". eves:- • prisoner ail aw time, and is certain he is the same person. Is quite sure. Prisoner wore a cap at the time, but does not know what kind cif cap. By Mr. Games.—Witness did see ss. paid ; it was paid outside the strop. Is quite sure it was ss. By the MAGISTRATE.—Knows the whole amount was 7s. W. Welling, oilman, Walworth-road—He had seen pri soner before more than once. Is acquainted with hint as a customer. He may have come to make purchases for the last four or five months Prisoner was last at his shop last Thursday afternoon, about four or a quarter-past four o'clock. He bought a pennyworth of gunpowder. He said, " Let me have a pennyworth of gunpowder, and let it be the best." He had the best. He said nothing more, and witness said nothing about it. There might be about half an ounce, certainly not an ounce. It was not weighed. He left the shop without any observation. Witness observed nothing unusual in his manner. He might be in the shop about a minute altogether. It was his usual manner—his usual mode of addressing witness. He seemed quite sober. There was nothing to excite suspicion. Witness asked no question of him. Harriet. Denyer, a girl about 12 years of age, No. 8, Peacock street—Has lived with her father there better than vati months. He is a labourer. Knows the prisoner. Saw him first on Thursday evening at the top of Peacock-street, near the Peacock, about a quarter past five o'clock. She was close by when the pistol went off. Before that she saw two men, and said to her companions (little girls) she would not go that wav ; she saw something white, that was the men in white clothes. Witness had scarcely said so when the pistol was fired. Witness saw prisoner leaning with his back against Mrs. Brent's door, and saw a man whom she knows now was Fitzgerald, he was standing in Peacock-street. The pistol was fired immediately after. Pri soner came up Peacock. street, and passed witness, and knocked against her, nearly knocking her down. Pri soner was walking then up Peacock-street. Witness then saw Fitzgerald near Mrs. Brent's, and saw Mrs. Brent lift the dead man up. Witness is not sure that it was the prisoner who leaned against Mrs. Brent's door. She is sure it was the prisoner who passed her; she looked up into his face. Prisoner began to run when he got up to the pump near the Peacock. Witness is certain of the prisoner. Has no doubt he is the same who passed her. On this evidence the Magistrate committed the prisoner to take his trial at the sessions. • Mr. Games thought it proper at present to refrain from making any observations. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 1. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Westminster Hall, before Lord b EN MAN.) RITCHIE V. LUNING. In this case it appeared by the evidence that plaintiff was in the employment, as clerk, of defendant, who was a linen draper; that he was employed by the year, at a salary of 401., but was discharged in consequence of some alleged irre gularity as to late hours, &c., which plaintiff denied, and, therefore, sought to recover a half-year's salary. The case occupied some; time, and the defendant's witnesses hav ing been heard, the plaintiff's counsel, in reply, in the course of his observations on behalf of his client, said, " I admit it is never wrong to tell a falsehood upon any occasion." COURT—" Never wrong to tell a falsehood upon any occa sion !"—(Great laughter.) The jury found for the plaintiff, 171. 9s. 6d., being the balance of the half-year's salary due to him." HEATH V. HAGAR AND OTHERS. This was an action for trespass, and one which created a great deal of laughter while it continued, by reason of the exhibition made by the defendants, who acted as their own counsel, and, in consequence, gave a practical illustration of the proverb that " he who acts as his own counsel has a fool for his client." It appeared that plaintiff was a hairdresser, occupying a shop in Great St. Andrew's-street, St. Giles's ; his son had been acting as his foreman, but left him, and a man named Box subsequently acted in that capacity. The defendant, who was the landlord, entered the premises, and sought to take possession. conceiving that plaintiff's son, whom he looked upon as his t enant, had deserted." Plaintiff's son then went, with some assistants, in March last, to remove the defendants, whom he looked upon as trespassers, and thereupon a row ensued. Mr. Hagar, sen., having been called upon by the Court to put any questions he pleased to the witnesses, he pro ceeded to do so ; but when the ply was in the negative, he invariably said, " Yes, I did ;" " re Yes, you did ;" " No, I was not," &c. The COURT reminded the defendant that he was not to give evidence, but to confine himself to asking questions. Mr. Box, sen., a diminutive gentleman, whose tout ensemble presented a rather dusky appearance, declared to the Court that "it was all a' conspie-racy' against him by fifteen per sons, at half-a-crown a head." A witness, named Mickey Daly, having been called, de clared that he went to the place on the occasion to assist Mr. Heath. In answer to Mr. Hagar, he said he went there for no purpose but to see justice done, and was not to be paid. He did not go there to box Mr. Box, but to see that Mr. Box boxed nobody else. He saw Mr. Heath produce a paper to Mr. Box, sen., whereupon Mr. Box, jun., boxed Mr. Heath, and snapped the paper, of which act Mr. Hagar expressed his approval by exclaiming, " That's right, Box, turn all them d--d blackguards out." , Mr. Hagar's son denied that his respectab le p arent used that language, and disputed the veracity of a great deal more besides that had been deposed to. The police were called in to lull the storm, which they " did, by withdrawing some of the elements that had created it, to wit, Mr. Daly and another, and accommodated them with a temporary lodging in one of the apartments at the station ; from thence they paid a morning visit to a justice of the peace, from whom, after a short conversation, they took their departure, upon an understanding highly agreeable to them selves. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 1. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and a Common Jury.) NORTH V. KEMPSHEAD. This was an action for breach of contract, the defendant being alleged to have neglected to supply to the plaintiffs wool-carding manufactory, in the Borough road, Southwark, a sufficient quantity of steam power, according to his contract. Mr. Sergeant Channel!, with whom was Mr. Lush, con ducted the plaintiff's case; and Mr. Sergeant Byles ap peared for the defendant. After hearing several witnesses on both sides, the jury having deliberated a short time, found a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, 1001. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 1. 'Sittings after Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) BEATON V. TIMMS. This was an action of debt for money had and received, to which the plaintiff had pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. Jarvis appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Branwell for _ Le defendant. Mr. JARVIS stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff was a gentlemen of property, residing in the Mile-end-road, and the defendant an auctioneer, carrying on business in Char lotte-street, Fitzroy-square, but the real defendants were Messrs. William and Henry Jubb, who had professed them selves to be the owners of certain copyhold property on the west side of the Uxbridge-road. On the 16th of July in the last year a portion of this property was put up for sale by auction, and the plaintiff became the purchaser of one lot for 1991. 10s., and in accordance with the conditions of sale the plaintiff paid the defendant on the spot twenty-five per cent. on the purchase-money, and a clear half of the auction duty, and the two sums together amounted to 551. 6s. The conditions of sale provided that an abstract of title should be delivered to the purchaser within seven days after the sale, and all objection to such abstract of title were to be made within ten days after its delivery. The abstract was delivered at the plaintiff's residence within the seven days, but the plaintiff being from home at the time, the ac curacy of the title could not be inquired into, or objections made to it within the specified ten days. On his return home, however, the plaintiff forwarded the abstract to his solicitor, who ascertained that Nichols, the party from whom Messrs. Jubb purchased the property was an insolvent at the time the sale to them took place. They therefore applied to the defendant to return the deposit money to the plaintiff, but it was urged that the ob j ection was not made within ten days after the delivery of the ab stract, and therefore the sale ought to be completed. Evidence was then adduced to prove those facts, after which Mr. BRANWELL addressed the jury for the defendant. He admitted some of the facts stated by his Learned Friend, but denied that Nichols became an insolvent previous to his transferring the property to Messrs. Jubb. The fact was, that in 1833 Nichols,who was a tax-collector, was a defaulter to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes to a considerable amount, and the copyhold property in question, of which he was then possessed, was sold by the Crown, as well as some other freehold property, under a writ of extent. The wife, how ever, of Nichols, who had an interest in the copyhold property, refused to sanction the surrender of the copyhold property, and her husband was thrown into gaol to compel her to agree to the sale. At length she did consent, and, her hus band being liberated, the property was transferred to Messrs. Jubb, and Nichols subsequently took the benefit of the In solvent Debtors' Act. A number of witnesses were called to substantiate this statement, including Nichols himself, who denied that he ever made the arrangement alluded to by the Learned Coun sel ; but one or two of the witnesses positively asserted that he did. Mr. BRANWELL intimated that at the time this arrange ment was made, it was reduced to writing, and he proposed to put this agreement in. Mr. JARVIS—IS it stamped? Mr. BRANWELL—NO, it is not. Mr. JAnvis—Then I shall object to its being put in. Mr. BRANWELL contended, that as it was an agreement between Nichols and the Crown, it did not require a stamp. The Loan CHIEF BARON ruled that it did, and rejected the agreement as evidence. Mr. BRANWELL asked his Lordship to take a note of the objection, and it was subsequently agreed that the plaintiff should take a verdict, with liberty to the defendant to move for a verdict or a nonsuit next term. BANKRUPTCY COURT, Nov. 29. IN THE MATTER OF PYRE'S BANKRUPTCY.-EXTRAORDI NARY SCENE. This was a meeting specially appointed under the bankruptcy of John Pyke, of Old Steyne, Brighton, jeweller, to test the validity of an execution put into the bankrupt's premises by one Mr. Samuel, a resident in the neighbourhood of Duke's-place. Mr. Samuel, the creditor, an aged man, was called by the solicitor for the assignees, for the purpose of showing that the execution was invalid and untenable, and that his transactions with the bankrupt had not been so ex tensive as had been represented. Mr. Samuel under went a lengthened examination, in the course of which it transpired that his dealings with Pyke were but as a drop in the ocean compared with his moneyed transac tions. The witness described himself as a general dealer in everything, from a needle to an anchor. "In fact (added the witness), I am ready to make a pargain and have a dealing with anypody, from a penny to any amount."—(Laughter.) The Learned COMMISSIONER gave a significant glance at the meanly attired appearance of the judgment credi tor, and shook his head. In answer to the Learned Commissioner, Mr. Samuel said, that when he had dealings NNith a person of such respectability, he did not sometimes take any security at all. Indeed, the same party owed him 8,000/ besides the bill, which he Mt was very safe. He frequently advanced 5001., and sometimes 5,0001., on a❑ I 0 U. lie did so much that it was impossible for him to be looking at his papers for every leetle ting.—(Much laughter.) The COMMISSIONER—Have you any bill-book ? Mr. Samuel—No, I keep no pill book. I stick my pills on de file, and, as they pecome due, I have them presented, and if they be not paid at the time, den afterwards I get the nionish for them the best way I can. Mr. Samuel, with a peculiar expression, cast his eyes upon the Learned Commissioner, and emphatically re marked—lf your Honour, Sir, doubts the truth of my statement, I have a few little matters in my pocket. (Here the witness pulled out a piece of paper, which was handed to the Court, and to the amazement of all present it turned out to be a bill of exchange for 10,0001., and, from the extreme caution to conceal the name of the acceptor, great curiosity was manifested.) The solicitor for the assignees inquired if the witness knew the exact number of bills he took in a year ? to which the son of Israel acutely replied, " Do you know how many briefs you have in a year ?"—(Roars of laughter.) The solicitor next inquired respecting a pearl neck lace, of great value, received by him from the bankrupt, when Mr. Samuel said he had not sold it to a Mr. Le vington, but he had " swopped" it away when he was over in France. He admitted that every pearl in the necklace was disposed of for 3/. each. In confirmation of his wealth, Mr. Samuel produced two cases of most costly jewellery, which were handed up to the Learned Commissioner, and his HONOUR, having inspected the same, observed (in reference to the numerous robberies of hats, cloaks, and umbrellas in the Court), that this was anything but a proper place to exhibit such valuables. The witness throughout gave his evidence with the greatest nonchalance, and the result, in this case, as in many others, was, that the children of Israel spoiled the Egyptians. DECEMBER 1. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE STOKES. The insolvent, who had been an attorney's clerk, came up by adjournment for his final order, and was opposed on the ground that he had vexatiously defended an action. The facts of the case were these :—The insolvent was in debted to the firm of Lyall, who sold the debt to a person named Godsdell, who had himself subsequently become bankrupt. An action, however, was brought in the name of Messrs. Lyall, which was defended by the insolvent, and the cost run up to upwards of 1001. The insolvent complained that the case was not fairly gone into at the trial, and that his evidence was material to show that his defence was not vexatious, and that the testimony of Mr. Lyall was also necessary, and the case was adjourned for his attendance this day, but he was not in Court in consequence of absence in the country. Dir. Hughes contended that the insolvent was entitled to DOMESTIC SERVITUDE IN NEW YORK. There are between ten and twelve thousand girls and women in New York, living in the various degrees of domestic servitude, from nurse and lady's maid — to scul lion and women of all work. As near as it is possible to estimate, from the means of information within our reach; from seven to eight thousand of these are Irish, two thousand German, and the others American, French, &c. Of the Irish about four-fifths are Catholics ; of the Germans about one-half. _ There is a kind of tacit understanding, very nearly approaching a regularly organized combination, among the servant girls in regard to prices, conditions, and pri vileges to be exacted from employers, limitation of duties to a particular branch, &c. &c., which is kept up by the intelligence offices, and they in turn are supported by the fees exacted from the girls. Whatever is paid to these offices by employers is out of the regular way, and is regarded as clear profit. The keeper, generally speaking, does not feel that any obligation to treat you with candour and sincerity in recommending girls to you is implied by your paying him a fee. He also receives pay from the servants themselves, and that regularly— so it is to his interest to be of their party. The servants also have a system by which they are en abled to act in some degree independently in leaving their situations. Whenever one thinks she is imposed upon, the invariable plan is to threaten to leave the situation at once, instead, as in other kinds of employ ment, of being fearful of losing it. A girl leaving her place under these circumstances has her board paid until she obtains another. This independence is often exer cised very injudiciously, and is perpetually creating dif ficulties, quarrels, and disruptions between parlour and kitchen, in which the mistress of the establishment usually suffers most. It is very easy to understand, how ever, that the general want of sympathy between em ployed and employer consequent upon our present system of domestic servitude, and the total absence of real interest felt by the one for the other, should have resulted in this combination on the part of the weaker party. Indeed, the immorality and barbarous absurdity of the whole system of slavery is nowhere more pain fully apparent than in our domestic servitude, where those delicate, tender, and sacred offices which nothing but true love and affection can render agreeable or scarcely endurable from one to another, are farmed out to be done for the lowest and most exclusively mercenary considerations—considerations which imply, from very necessity, that the servant should get off with the smallest possible amount of labour, while the employer insists on getting as much work as practicable fdr his money. Thus originates and is kept alive that mean, harrassing, and revolting strife—that cold-victual and old-frock struggle —which too often renders the private dwelling, which should be the very temple of peace and shrine of love, what we need not attempt to describe. Instances, however, are to be met where the real goodness of human nature shows itself under all disad vantages. Many families have old and faithful domes tics who share the love and respect of husband, wife, and children—who are tenderly nursed in sickness, com fortably provided for in health, and never driven or treated with harshness. Such instances we might de tail at length ; but beautiful and refreshing as they are, they are too few to change the general aspect of the sys• tem we are considering. They are not created by, but flourish in despite of it. The wages received by servant girls vary from 4 dolls. to 8 dolls., and even 10 dolls. per month, exclusive of board and lodging, and time to do their own washing and mending. Few, however, have either time or ability to make even their commonest dresses, and these are put out to poor seamstresses and paid for, neces sarily, at the most miserable prices. The girls gene rally imbibe from their mistresses the worst and most pernicious of all domestic follies—a love for finery; and with her hard-earned monthly wages in her hand the servant steals away to Chatham-street to bedizen herself in the cast-off and vulgar imitations of the only a little less vulgar finery which her mistress sports in Broad way. About a fair average of the wages received by servant girls would be 6 dolls. per month. Mere drudgers and slop-women, just arrived in the country and com pletely ignorant of everything pertaining to life above the mud hovel and its simple accessories, receive about 4 dolls. a month. Good chambermaids and general houseworkers get from 5 dolls. to 6 dolls.; cooks, ladies' maids, nurses, table waiters, &c., &c., are better paid— the highest prices being paid to tose who can take charge of children (these are what may be denominated a " real blessing to fashionable mothers "), and who understand mending and getting up laces and fine linen. Good laundresses generally, when they go out to ser vice, unite the duties of cook or chambermaid, and thus become in great demand. Some wealthy families em ploy a laundress exclusively, who receives 10 dolls., or sometimes 12 dolls. per month, and is allowed many pri vileges because she is indispensable in getting up the ladies' finery. Nurses in such families are also well paid, and, besides, receive a great many " veils " in the shape of cast-off but scarcely soiled clothing, &c., &c. The physical wants of the servant are generally better supplied than those of any other class of working women. They always manage to secure enough, and of the best, to eat, and their sleeping accommodations are generally pretty decent, although in the latter particular they sometimes suffer severely—being thrust into noxious dark bed-rooms or unventilated garrets and lofts. The worst instances of this occur in boarding-houses, espe cially the cheap ones. But of the intellectual and moral advantages of the servant girls we have nothing to say. Their condition in these respects is disgraceful to civilisation, which not only permits and sanctions, but positively seems to en force it. If the servant herself is a Catholic, she gene rally stipulates for an opportunity of attending to her religious duties every other Sunday afternoon or evening—changing off with the cook, chambermaid, &c., so that the house shall never be " left alone." But be yond this there is no vestige of humanity or enlighten. ment in the American kitchen, any more than in the negro-hut of the Southern planter. The family circle, the school, the library, the fire-side talk—often even the altar of family prayer—are forbidden to the inmates of the kitchen; they rarely think of obtruding themselves there, nor is their presence dreamed of by the mis tresses. They are of the family, yet apart from it; they have no friends to care for them save those as de graded and unfortunate as themselves, therefore they are left to live in ignorance and complete isolation from those whose happiness and peace are so intimately inter woven with theirs as to seem to render such a disunion most fatal if not utterly impossible. This separation of interests among members of the same family is the great curse of private life. Suspicion, treachery, meanness, fraud, oppres,ion, hatred, malice, and revenge, are its in evitable consequences; and under these malign influences what wonder is it that servants grow to be what they are so generally and unhesitatingly denounced, even in their very presence—pests and curses —New York Tribune. MADAGASCAR, MAURITIUS, SEPT. 17, 1845.—The following intelligence, which is extracted from a Bourbon paper, was received by the last arrival, and has been trans mitted by Captain 1 5 innid, commanding the French brig Sans Souci :—The brig Sans Souci sailed from Bourbon the 24th July, for Fort Dauphin (Madagascar), and anchored on the 6th August, after having met with very bad weather. On their arrival, the captain and supercargo went on shore, where they were met by one of the Hova chiefs, who told them that, having received from the que, n a formal order, under pain of death, not to allow the exportation any merchandise of any kind, they were only wasting their time if they expected they could get a cargo. Water and fresh provisions were equally refused. The next day Captain Pinnid was getting ready to weigh, when a signal was made that a vessel was in sight. This induced him to stay. In the evening a Dutch ship, of about 1,200 tons, the Prince Henry, Captain Feyfer, came to anchor. The Dutch captain, and the supercargo of the ship, M. Le guevel de Lacombe, who at first called himself by another name, appeared annoyed at finding the San Souci in the harbour. They stated that they came in for provisions; but it was evident that some mystery was lurking under their voy age, as the arrangements on board indicated a longer stay than that of a vessel merely calling in for provisions. The next day the boat of the Sans Souci, manned by six men, disap peared. It has been asserted that she was sunk by tl e Novas; but all attempts to find the men, or hear of their fate, have been fruitless. Shortly after the supercargo of the Sans Souci received a letter from Captain Pinnid, informing him that he was detained a prisoner, and forty dollars de manded for his ransom. All protest was vain ; the money was, therefore, paid, and the captain released. In the meantime, a certain quantity of gunpowder was landed from the Dutch ship, and guns fired by the Hovas as a token of rejoicing. While this was going on, an officer from the Dutch ship came on board, and told us that his vessel was loaded with powder and ammunitions of war—that they had on board guts, engineers, smiths, &c.—that they were bound to Fort Dauphin, Manouron, and Tamatave, and were to be full med by two other vessels, consigned to and under the immediate and sole control of M. de Lacombe, the supercargo of the Prince Henry. He stated further that they came from the Mauritius. Henry. the 12th the Sans Souci weighed anchor.
