MACGREGOR V.GALWORTHY._ In this case, which was tried at the sittings for Mid dlesex in June last, before Lord Campbell, a verdict passed for the plaintiff, damages 401. It was an action brought against the High Bailiff of the Bloomsbury County Court. The defendant had obtained a judg ment in that County Court against the plaintiff for 151., with 31. 9s. costs. Execution issued in the usual man ner on this judgment, and the bailiff proceeded to the plaintiff's residence, but being denied admission, he got in at the window by means of a chair. Hence the pre sent action. Mr. WHATELY, Q.C., now moved for a rule to show cause, first, why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had; and, secondly, why the whole proceed ings should not be wholly set aside on the ground that the plaintiff was a married woman at the time of the action, which incapacitated her from bringing such an action. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read certain affidavits to prove that the plaintiff was the wife of a person named tie Hand, and had taken advantage of her privilege as a married woman on the commence ment of the proceedings in the County Court. The COURT thereupon granted a rule to show cause, and in the meantime ordered the whole proceedings is the Court below to be stayed, and to abide the issue of the rule nisi.

According to the Cologne Gazette great delight prevailed in the Court circle at Vienna at the result of the Warsaw conference. The Oesterreichischer Correspondent declare 3 that tbere can be no doubt— " That the state of affairs all over Germany is begin. ning to display itself in a light as happy as it is honour. able for Austria and her faithful allies of the Band." It was reported that Marshal Radetzky had been called from Milan to Vienna by a telegraphic message. The movements of large bodies of Austrian troops in the direction of Hesse still continued. A third edition of the Cologne Gazette, published on Monday morning, contains the following obscure telegraphic despatch from Berlin, dated Sunday evening : _ _ _ " According to intelligence which reached this city in the course of yesterday, Autria has drawn practical deductions from the results of the Congress at Warsaw, in consequence of which deductions, coupled with the recent events which have occurred in Hesse, a new turn in the position of affairs has taken place here in Berlin. " The Deutsche Reform of this morning contains an article on the Cabinet Council of yesterday, which ex presses a firm confidence in the maintenance of peace." According to the Berlin papers it was supposed that the deliberations in the Cabinet had taken a turn un favourable to the views of M. Radowitz, who was, however, supported by the King and the Prince of Prussia. It was still uncertain what effect the entry of the Bavarians into Hesse would have on the ques tion of peace or war. ENTRY OF THE PRUSSIANS INTO HESSE. According to advices from Cassel, of the 2d inst., the 18th Regiment of Prussian Infantry, accompanied by a squadron of Hussars and a battery of artillery, entered that town on the morning of that day, after a very severe forced night march. These troops were sent off by General Groeben from Warburg, as soon as he received intelligence of the entry of the Ba varians and Austrians on the opposite side of the Electorate. The military posts in Cassel were occu pied by the Burgher Guard. The reception of the Prussian troops by the inhabitants was quiet but friendly. The Berlin Ministerial journal of the 2d has the following on the invasion of Hesse by Bavarian troops:— " When we yesterday endeavoured to shadow forth the expectations of a peaceful solution of the pending controversies that might be derived from the result of the conferences at Warsaw, we did not believe that so soon, that few hours afterwards only, intelligence would arrive which, in spite of the pacific exertions of the great Powers, would favour the apprehensions of war. The dispatch that announces the entrance of the Bava rians into Henan has again directly raised the possibility of a conflict, which Prussia might have avoided from a sense of the interests of all, but which she cannot avoid if it is, as in the present case, arrogantly provoked. " We cannot refrain from expressing an anticipation that the readiness to enter into a common course of action shown by the two great Powers will produce a timely arrangement of the provocation that has been thus given; and we are compelled to believe that it was only the impatience of a subordinate Power, which did not find in a peaceful understanding between the great States an advantage to its specific and particular aims, that only to the one-sided over hastiness of Bavaria is to be attributed the blame of the completest march into Hesse. But however that might be, this march is, on the part of our Government, announced as the signal of the practical intervention of Prussia, and however willingly it would have entertained exclusively the hope of peace, yet it will not, and cannot, in an un justified confidence, set aside the direct duties which the position of Prussia lays upon it." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The LlamLurgh Nachricht en o f th e 2d instant, publishesintelligence relative to the mission of Ge neral Hahn to th e Stadth o id era t e , who have given their reply to the proposals made by that officer on behalf of trussia. The con diti ons upon which the negotiation of an armistice will be agreed to by the Stadthalterschaft are said to be-1. The evacuation by the Danish troops of all that part of Schleswig, south of the liue of dem arca ti on d rawn in accordance with the Berlin armistice, including the island of Fehmar and the islands be longirg to Schleswig, west of the same, together with the Angela district, north of the line of demarcation, and west of Rendsburg and the market town of Hoya, the whole of which is to be governed by the Stadt holderate along with Holstein. 2. The removal of the Danish vessels from the coast of the Duchies. 3. The surrender of all prisoners of war and political prisoners, and of all private property confiscated on political grounds. 4. The discharge of all persons belonging to the Duchies forced to enter the Danish service against their will. 5. Every fa cility to be offered to the carrying on of trade and navigation. 6. The armistice to be concluded for one year, and to be continued f or b e y on d th a t t erm b y !dent consent, a notice of six weeks being required for f its discontinuance. F rom L u b ec k we are informed ! THE SUN, that the police authorities have put a stop to the weekly collections of the clubs in favour of the Schleswig-Holstein cause by virtue of an ancient statute " against foreign beggars and their collectors." A similar course has also been adopted in Berlin. LON DON. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) WHITEHALL, Nov. 2, 1850.

Regarding the opening up of the Nicaragua route, the intelligence on this occasion is very favourable. It appears that a large proportion of the return pas sengers from San Francisco had refused to take pas sage in any steamer that would not agree to land them in Nicaragua, and the report of those who have since crossed that part of Central America, although no preparations had been made for them, is calculated to increase the desire to adopt it. The New York Herald, after the arrival of the last mail, stated as follows: " Many of the passengers by the Crescent City yes terday came by the Nicaragua route. The steamers Northerner and Republio touched at Realejo, on the Pacific, and landed nearly 200 passengers. The first hundred miles towards the Atlantic were travelled upon mules; then the lake was navigated in bungoes, or flat boats, which were also used for the descent of the river San Juan. The boat navigation extended about 200 miles . This route is described as a very interesting one, and the cli mate is particularly mentioned as being very favour able to health. At present, of course, the journey is tedious, from the want of facilities, though a stea mer was at t h e Machuca falls, on the San Juan, about to be used for the benefit of pilgrims. The Orus was at the mouth of the Colorado. When the enterprise of the Yankee has fairly seized on the difficulties there presented, the lines of emigrasts will fall in pleasant places. About 200 passengers still remained at Realejo when the expedition left. They will come on so as to take the next British steamer for San Juan or Greytown." It will be observed from the above that the two steamers of the Canal Company were preparing for active service. The Orus (or N icaragua, as it is now n imed) had safely reached the San Juan river, where it runs into the Colorado, and was waiting for coals. She was then to proceed to the Lake, for which service she was purchased, and for which she is said to be well adapted. The small boat, the Di rector, had gone up the San Juan as far as the rapids of Castello Viejo, but as her power (20 horses) was not sufficient to ascend them until the water was higher, she was to be replaced in that part of the line by another of 40 tons. She had, however, ascended the previous rapids without difficulty. With regard especially to the prospects of the canal some further favourable facts are said to have transpired. It seems that several months back a New York firm connected wish one of the lines of California steamers took the precaution of sending a competent person to examine every part of the route, with the view to ascertain if it would be desirable that their steamers should touch at the points con nected with it. He has now returned, and the sub stance of his report is said to be that the river route is perfectly practicable for the immediate pur poses of passenger traffic ; while, with regard to the canal, he represents that he has found a passage from the Lake to San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific, in which there - is little or no elevation to be over come, and the great advantage of which causes him to recommend that port as the pacific outlet. TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1850. Should this statement prove correct (and the party by whom it is made, although not an engineer, says that his personal observations were of a character to warrant him in making it with confidence), it would much ;reduce the estimates of costs hitherto put for ward. Mearivthile, the engineers of the company were proceeding with their general survey. They had commenced with the Salinas-bay route, and upon its completion would examine this new route. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, Nor;. 4. ;Si!tingA in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice JEnvis, and Justices MAULE, WILLIAMS, and TALFOURD.) DOE DEM. BAINBRIDGE V. BAINBRIGGE. This was an action of ejectment to try the right to large (states in the county of Stafford, and the question turned upon whether Thomas Bainbrigge, the testator, was in his right mind, and capable of transacting busi ness at the time of the execution of a certain testamen tary paper; but in addition to this it was charged that if the testator was in his right mind, then that his signa ture bad been obtained by fraud. The case came on for trial before Lord Campbell at the last assizes for Staf ford, where a verdict was returned for the lessee of the plaintiff. Mr. KEATING, Q.C., now moved the Court for a rule calling upon the lessor of the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict found should not be set aside and a new trial had, upon the ground that the jury had de cided against the weight of evidence. The Learned Counsel stated that the matter arose upon an issue directed by the Court of Chancery, and that the pro perty- involved was of the value of 3,0001. a year. The principal question was, whether a will made in the year 1818 was executed by the testator whilst he was in a proper state of mind to do so. The testator came into possession of the property in question upon the decease of his father in 1798. During his father's lifetime it ap peared that he had formed an improper intimacy with the housekeeper, which resulted in the birth of a daugh ter, who was called Elizabeth Bainbrigge, and of whom be became so fond that he cut off the entail of his estate and diviced the property to her. In 1808 Eliza beth Brainbrigge was eighteen years of age, and about that time she became improperly connected with a coachman, and had a daughter, named Mary Ann. This conduct enraged the testator, and in consequence he al tered the cisposition of his property, giving to Eliza beth only a small provision, and to her daughter Mary Ann the bulk of the property for life, and he kept her in his house. Notwithstanding what had happened, Eliza beth became again pregnant, the person connected with her this time being a young man named Arnold, the son of a tenant on the Estate, and who afterwards mar ried her. On the part of the plaintiff a great deal of evidence was produced at the trial, to show that the tes tator was not in a sound state of mind ; and, among other things, it was sworn that he had been seen with a slaughtered hillock on the top of his carriage, and that he had made .a pig drunk by putting gin into its victuals, and said it was not fit to eat when killed, for it had the gout. He had also run a horse at the Derby races, which horse was unfit in every respect for run ning, and was ridden by a man not dressed as a jockey, but who was in his shirt-sleeves. This trans action, however, it was contended, was not very material to the issue, inasmuch as it occurred as early las 1841, and before the execution of the codicil, which, according to the plaintiff's case, was properly executed. The testator was also stated to have fallen out with the jockey who rude the horse, and refused to pay him, upon the ground that he had not complied with his directions, those directions being "to get first and keep first." The testator, beyond all doubt, was a moat eccentric man, and behaved in a most extraordinary moaner, but not in such a way, it was submitted, 23 to warrant the conclusion that he was mad. Ile was a most violent temper, and upon all occasions swore fearfully, and he drank to an enormous extent. His dress also was remarkable, and had the slit ct of attracting the at tention of boys in the street, one pert of it lyiug a hat crushed and broken, out of all shape, and his feet dif fered from each other in the style in which they were clad, one of them being covered with a Wellington and the other by a shoe and a gaiter. One r. iteess stated that he had seen the testator in his carriage, which was in a deplorable state, with harness to match ; and the driver was suited to the equipage, he having on a smock frock and a hat bound widn a hayband. Another fact stated by the Solicitor-General at the trial, in support of the testator's insanity, was, that he had sentenced horses to transportation, end undoubtedly he had shut one up in the stable, but this occurred before the execution of the codicil of 1815. An auctioneer was celled, who stated that he had dined with tho testator in 1817, when he was suffering an at ' tack of the gout. On this occasion the testator ordered a labouring man, who was in attendance upon him, to bring in a bottle of porter, which he (the testator) en deavoured to open, when the auctioneer, who was behind him, made a noise with his mouth, and the testator then told his servant to take the bottle away and open it, for the devil was in it. The servant, by some mistake, dropped the bottle on hi; master's gouty toe, who ex claimed, "You have killed your master, and I subeceaa all persons here to go to Stafford against you." Subse quently to this the servant dropped the saltcellar, and then the testator flung a knife at him. On oee occasion during a fit of the gout, he had asked a witness if he had ever seen the devil, and upon receiving the reply " Never," he said he had been with him all night; but it was submitted by the Learned Council that evidently all that was meant was that he had been suffering pa roxysms of the gout, and his allusion was not to the devil, as that personage was originally spoken of, but of the devil which had been tormenting him. He thought this was nearly all the evi dence brought to prove insanity, with the exception of this, that the little girl, Mary Ann, being at the time about eight or ten years of age, was sworn to have used the most disgusting language, to have acted with most precocious depravity, and to 7.ave conducted herself in contempt of all the rules of decency. The way in which this was used was this. It was submitted to the jury that the testator could not have been sane, or he would not have permitted such conduct, but there was great difference between witnesses upon a material point bear ing upon this, fur although some of them said that the disgusting conduct was exhibited in the presence of the testator, others stated that the child was exceedingly careful to keep her bad actions from his cognizance. There was no doubt that the testator was eccentric, but how did it happen if he was mad, that his relative took no steps to protect the property, for here was an estate of 3,0001. a year, and it was not often that a man pos sessed of an estate of that value went mad without some of his relations interfering. In opposition to this case, the counsel for the defendant (Mr. Keating) got up to speak at nine o'clock at night, the plaintiff's case having occupied the whole day, and requested that the trial should be postponed until the next day. His Lordship, who was expected on the following day (Saturday), to sit at Shrewsbury, was compelled by his public duty to request the Learned Counsel to proceed, and the result was, that the Learned Counsel was obliged to address the jury at that late hour, and did not conclude his speech until nearly one in the morning. Mr. Justice MAULE—Probably you were the only person in court who was net fatigued.—(Laughter.) Mr. KEATING could answer for the jury being fatigued. When he commenced a fresh paragraph in his speech, he saw despair marked upon their countenances— (Laughter)—hut he would do them the justice to say that they did everything which men could do to keep awake. Their Lordships, however, knew that human endurance had its limits, and could fancy in what sort of a state the jury were to comprehend such a dry case as he had to lay before them. On the next day the evi dence of the defendant was produced. In the course of the case, a great number of documents were produced, and, among other things, the correspondence of the tes tator, and that showed that his mind was perfectly sound. There were also books, in which he had made entries; and although the Solicitor-General was allowed to take those books home to his lodgings, and examine them, yet he did not venture to comment upon a single entry in them; a strong proof that everything there was perfectly correct. A great number of witnesses—tenants upon the estate, with whom the testator had entered into con tracts, and tax-gatherers and collectors to whom he had paid money, were produced, and they were all of opinion that he was sane. There was also a deposi tion by Dr. Greaves, a brother magistrate of the testa tor, who believed him sane, but he would not speak much as to the time shortly before the testator's death, in 1818, not having visited him, in consequence of his having been offended with Dr. Greaves for not having punished a servant of the testator who had misbehaved himself with sufficient severity. The trial "dragged its slow length along" until Tuesday morning at half-past two o'clock, when it was finished, and be put it to their Lordships to say, whether they thought that under these circumstances the case had been properly tried, and whether in a cause in which such a large sum, and such serious charges were involved, they would not grant a new trial. One matter which had great weight with the jury, was a deposition of a person who attended upon the testator in his last illness, which deposition had been made by her just previous to and in anticipation of death, Ind she stated th a t at th e ti me o f th e execu tion of one -of the testamentary papers, the testator was incapable of knowing what he was about. There was one circum stance, however, about this deposition, and that was, that it was made thirty years after the event took place, when the memory could not be so perfect, and that the statements made were contradicted by numerous wit nesses. Then there was a statement by General Baiu brigge of what he thought took place upon the reading of the will, which, giving that gallant officer every credit for sincerity, was manifestly incorrect. The gallant general said that at the reading of the will after the funeral, Mr. Blair endeavoured to keep him as much in front as possible, so that he should not set) the document, but that being too old a soldier to be taken in that way he had gone behind and looked over Mr. Blair's shoulder. That Mr. Blair then turned his shoulder so as to keep the will out of sight; but that he again shifted his position, and then had a full view of the will, and saw that there were several blanks and pencil marks in it. He said, also, that he then beckoned to his cousin, who came and BOW it in that state also. But what was unaccountable was, that neither the Ge neral nor his cousin ever said a word about it; that the former went abroad, and the latter died; and that it was not till ten years afterwards, upon his return from India, that he bethought himself of it, and then upon going to Doctors' Commons to see the will, he fancied it had been altered, and, as he expressed it, that it looked as if some leaves had been aubstitnted. But if their Lordships would grant the rule the will should be produced for their inspection; and it should be remem bered that Mr. Rushton, who was then clerk to Mr. Blair, but was now a solicitor practising for himself, swore that he copied the will for execution from Mr. Blair's draft, and that it was now in precisely the same state as when he copied it. The omission of Mrs. James's name in the last will was much commented on, but after all it was a small circumstance to weigh against positive evidence. It appeared that old Arnold died in the latter end of 1817, and as the enmity was between him and the testator, after Arnold's death Mr. Bainbrigge sent for the son, and said to to him, "Though I have drawn the sword I wca't say that I shell never sheath it;" and again, " I may do something f)r your family, but you shall never have any of my money." Now, this was sworn to, not only by Arnold, but by three disinterested witnesses, who were present at these interviews and heard the testator make use of these and the like ex pressions. Mr. Justice MAULE—Did the Chief Justice intimate any opinion as to the state of the testator's Mind? AMERICAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION The following dispatch has been received by the Navy department of the United States from Lieut. E. J. De Haven, commanding the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin : " United States brig Advance, off Pert Leopold, Aug. 22, 1850. " Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you with the proceedings of the squadron under my command since leaving the Whale Fish Islands, whence my last dispatch was dated. " We sailed on the 29th June, but owing to calms and very light winds we did not reach the latitude of Upper navick till the 6th of July. Up to this place no obstruc tion from ice was met . with. We found a clear passage of from ten to twenty miles in width between the laud and the 'pack.' The latter has sighted daily, and had the appearance of being impenetrable. " To the northward of Uppernavick many streams of fine ice were found extending from the main pack close in to the land. Through these, with a fair wind, we found little difficulty in forcing our way until we ap proached Baffin's Islands, in the latitude of 74 degrees. Here the ice appea' el so close and continuous along the land that our progress in that direction was arrested. At the same time a clear and wide opening presentee itself, leading to the west. We had a lair wind to enter it, and ig was so directly in our course for Lancaster Sound that I could not resist the temptation, particularly as the passage looked to be almost hopeless by the usual northern route through Melville Bay. " For several hour. our hopes of a speedy and direct passage appeared to be confirmed, but after a run of 40 miles ice was ahead and in a continuous line. We had but entered a deep bight in the main pack. "To return to the eastward, whence we came, would perhaps have cost us days, with the uncertainty of being able to get along even then. Besides, of the onl,y three accounts of attempts to make the passage through the pack in about this latitude, two were eminently success ful. The third did not succeed so well. " In view of these Lets, I thought it advisable to enter the pack and endeavour to push through it, in a direct line, for the theatre of our researches. " We accordingly did so, and for several days suc ceeded in making some headway, until at last the ice be came so tight and immovable that it becamgimpossible either to advance or retreat. In this hopeless condition we remained until the 29th of July, when, by a sudden movement of the floes, an opening presented itself 1.) the north. A south-east wind springing up at the same time we availed our s elves of it, and, with a press of sail, suc ceeded iu forcing our way into clear water. " On the following day we were brought up again by the ice, having made a run of more than sixty mike. The wind by this time had freshened to a gale, which, together with a thick fog, made our position not a little embarrassing. The vessels were placed in as secure a position as could be found, notwithstanding which they were in imminent danger from the heavy masses of ice driven before the gale, which pressed upon them. They withstood the shock, though, bravely. The danger was over on the gale abating. " We were now in latitude 75 deg., longitude 60 deg., in the usual Melville Bay route. It did not appear much more favourable than the middle one, whence we had just escaped. However, by keeping along the edge of the land ice (which bad no appearance of having moved this season, and extended full thirty miles from the shore), we were enabled to avail ourselves of occa sional narrow openings, which appeared with the changes of the wind, so :hat, with the aid of warps during cella weather, we succeeded in reaching Cape Yorke on the 15th inst. " Between Cape Yorke and Cape Dudley Diggs we had open water, but were delayed by calms. We took advantage of the delay, and hauled the vessels into the shore at the Crimson Cliffs of Beverley, where we filled up our casks from a mountain stream. Those cliffs aro so named from the red snow on them, specimens of which were obtained. "A few miles to the east of Cape Yorke two Esqui maux were met with. The only thing we could under stand them to say was, that more of their people were living not very far distant. " On the 18th we got a fair wind, and, passing Cape Dudley Diggs, shaped our course for the western side of Baffle's Bay. The ' pack' was soon met with, but it was in streams, and very loose, so that little obstruction was found from it. On the morning of the 19th we cleared it entirely, and a decided swell of the sea indi cated that we had reached the north waters.' " The same day we fell in with the squadron of two vessels under Captain Penny. They had bees unsuc cessful in their efforts to enter Jones's Sound. They were now bound in the same direction as ourselves. " On the evening of the 19th wo entered the Sound, but a violent gale came on from the eastward, accompa nied by a thick fog and a heavy sea, which compelled us to heave to. During the gale we parted company from the Rescue. " The following day the wind moderated, but the weather still continued thick and foggy. We spent the most of it in searching for our consort, without success, when, loth to lose so good a wind, we bore up for the westward. " On the morning of the 21st the foc , cleared off, and we found ourselves off Cape Crawford,' on the southern side of the Sound. At the same time a sail was seen, which I hoped might be the Rescue, but it proved to be the schooner Felix, Captain Sir John Roes. "From him we learn that Commodore Austin was at Pond's Bay with two of his vessels, seeking for informa tion, while the other two had been dispatched to exa mine the north shore of the Sound. We also learned that the North Star might be looked for at Port Leo pold. At that place I resolved to touch (as well to gain information as to send dispatches home), previous to repairing to Wellington Straits, the appointed place of rendezvous with our consort. " I am happy to inform you that the officers and men of both vessels are perhaps In better health than they were on leaving New Yurk, and they are now possessed with a spirit which I think argues well for the success of our enterprise. " Very respectfully, &c., " EDWIN J. DE HAVEN, " Lieutenant Commanding Arctic Expedition. " To the Hon. Secretary of the Navy, Washington. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH INDIES. The followinTgilcohrreWs ;a; extracted from -- the Halifax Journal of the 14th inst. : Halifax, Sept. 13, 1850. May it please your Lordship,—We the subscribers, merchant shipowners, and others of Halifax (Nova Scotia), beg leave to represent to your Lordship the great inconvenienc e to which the inhabitants of this province, together with the Canadas, New Bruns wick, and Prince Edward Island, are subjected by the change in the route of the West India steamers, recently sanctioned by her Majesty's Government, whereby the communicati on between them and the West India Islands a Bermuda, has been entirely cut off, and no authorised channel provided for trans mitting their correspondence except the protracted, circuitous, and expensive route via the United King dom, pointing out in the accompanying notice, issued by the Postmaster-General, which vvill at once make your Lordship aware of the injurious consequences of this change to the commercial interests of the British North American provinces. Believing that it could not have been the intention of her Majesty's Government, in sanctioning the pre sent arrangement, to leave the inhabitants of these provinces thus virtually dependent on the uncertain departure of merchant vessels for the transmission of their letters, we beg leave to suggest the establish ment of a mail communication by steamers between Jamaica and St. Thomas, and Bermuda, to connect with that now existing between Bermuda and this port, in order that the postal facilities heretofore en joyed may be restored. Your Lordship's knowledge of the public interest involved in the re-establishment of this communica tion, as well as the desire you have manifested to promote the commercial interests and develope the varied natural resources of the different possessions of ' her Majesty within your command assure us that your Lordship's influence will not be wanting, and we therefore most humbly and earnestly beg that your Lordship will be pleased to urge upon the Lords of the Admiralty the adoption of the suggestions now respectfully submitted, or that some other arrange. ments equally or more convenient may be made to secure an object of so much importance as a regular and direct transit of the correspondence between these colonies and the British West Indies. We have the honour to be, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servants, Signed by all the principal merchants of Halifax. To Lord Dundonald, Vice-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief. Wellesley, at Halifax, Sept. 23, 1850 Gentlemen,— Having read with interest and atten tion your very conv i nc ing representation of the con sequences to th e com mercial interest of these pro vinces a s connec t e d w ith their trade to the W es t Indies by th e w i t hd raw al of the . Royal mail steam packets fr om B ermu d a , it will afford m . e great plea sure to co nvey t o t h e L o rds Commissioners of the Admiralty your sentiments, in confirmation of the representations which I have already transmitted from the H ouse o f A ssem bly at Bermuda , and of the opinio n I h a d prev i ous l y g i v en of the injurious re sults of that measure. I beg to assure you that I sensibly feel the compliment you are pleased to pay me by expressions cf your opinion that I desire to pro mote the commercial interests and develope the na tural maritime resources of the different possessions of her Majesty within the sphere of my command, and that it will especially gratify me to be the means of contributing in any way to the advancement of the welfare of this most interesting province. I have the hunuur to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, DUNDONALD, Vice-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief. Messrs. W. Pryor and Sons, and the Merchants, Shipowners, &c., Halifax. Mr. BEATING—NO, my Lord. He left the case to the jury as a whole, and did not put the points sepa rately. Mr. Justice MAULS—Then three of the jury might have found for the plaintiff because they thought the testator was insane, anti nine bnakise there was a con spiracy. Mr. IDEATING—Lord Campbell did not give any opinion on the testator's sanity, but he dwelt much on his debility and incompetency from illness. He strongly advised them to look at the ease as a whole. Mr. Justice MAULE—It the Chief Justice had left the issue in separate questions to the jury he must have given them the option of answering them. They might not have been unanimous as to either of the questions, and yet be unanimous in finding for the plaintiff. Mr. KEATING was proceeding, when, after a brief deliberation, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said—You may take a rule. Rul© nisi granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 4. (Sittings in Itliddlezem at Nisi Prins, in Michaelmas Term, before Mr. Baron PLATT and Common Juries.) The first sittings at Nisi Prius for the present term were commenced this morning. The cause-list contains onecasa less than at the cor responding sitting; of lait year. SEDUCTION.-FOSTER V. HOWARD. This was an action to recover dumuges for the loss of services sustained by the plaintiff by means uf the seduc tion cf his daughter by the defendant. Mr. M. Chambers, with Mr. Lush, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins was retained for the defendant. _ It appeared from the evidence of Mary Ann Foster, the plaintiff's daughter, that she is now about seventeen years of age, and is one of eight children. Her father is a brickmaker at Barnet, and the defendant, also oc cupied in the same business, liven at Hadleigh. They were both en intimate terms, and the de:endent, was in the habit of visiting the plaintiff at his house. The de fendant, who is about forty years of age, is a married man, and the father of four children. The witness had known him about three months, when he went to her father's house in the course of last year, and obtained permission from her parents for her to go and live at his house and keep his wife company. On the last day of September, 1849, the de:endant fetched her away in a gig in the evening. Passing through the village of Bar net, he asked her to go into the Salisbury Arms, to take a glass of wine, which she refused to do. They then drove on, and it appeared that the defendant purposely went out of the proper road. It was then quite dark, and after they had proceceded some way he took some im proper liberties with her. The girl threatened to leave him and return home. He then desisted, and drove her straight to his house. She was accommodated with a sleeping-room immediately under the apartment occu pied by the defendant and his wife. About fourteen days after she had been in the house the defendant one morn ing entered her room between five and six o'clock, for the purpose of removing some gig cushions. She was then asleep, and when she awoke he was sitting on the side of the bed. He asked her• to accompany him to London, and go to the play, but she &dined to de so. He then began to wrestle with her, and she threatened to tell Mrs. Howard, and got nut of bed, and went to wards the door, ageinst which the defendant placed himself. After some parley the defendant threw her on the bed and effected his purpose. The witness said nothing of this treatment to any one, and in about ten clays Deter the defendant again entered the room about the same time in the morning, and repeated the act. On that occasion he asked her to accompany him to London, and offered to purchase her a gold watch and a satin dress, all of which she declintd. She soon after returned to her father's house, and the de fendant came there and requested her to go back, but she declined to do so, and her mother said she need not do so if she did not like to go. She said nothing of the treatment she had received to any one, until it was dis covered that she was in the family-way, that was i❑ the month of March, and on the 12th of July following she gave birth to a child. It appeared from her statement that her father, the plaintiff, was so deeply incensed at her conduct that he had not spoken to her. The girl was closely cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Weewews, but nothing material was elicited except the clear establishment of the fact that she had net called out or made any effective resistance when the defendant at tempted to seduce her on the first occasion, or when he repeated the act ten days thereafter. The window of the apartment looked into the stable-yard, where the defendant's man was at work, and Mrs. Howard was in the room immediately above them. Nor had she made any statement of the treatment she received to a single person. She had an opportunity of returning to her father's house by the coach which passed daily, but did not avail herself of it. She denied that she had any im proper connexion with any other men, and in answer to a question from the Learned Sergeant, expressly denied that she had ever kissed the defendant while at break fast, or given his little son a piece of money to procure his silence. The plaintiff's foresee an was called to prove a conver sation he had overheard between the defendant and the plaintiff and his wife. Mr. Foster said, " On, Howard! you have ruined my daughter." To which the latter made no reply. When the plaintiff entered the room, he said, "You scoundrel, how could you treat me thus? You have ruined my daughter." The defendant replied, "Itis a bad job. Let us settle it as well as we can. I would not that it had happened for a thousand pounds. What will my poor wife say?" The plaintiff rejoined, " What will my poor daughter say?" Mr. M•Pherson, the landlord of the Woodman, at Barnet, as a friend of the family, had seen the defendant, and deposed to a conversation iu which the latter ex pressed his willingness to pay all the expenses, and make a weekly allowance for the support of the child. The surgeon, who had attended the girl in her conEne ment, stated the cost at from 8/. to 9/. These witnesses all concurred in stating that the plaintiff was very strict iu the government of his family, and that his daughter, prior to the occurrence referred. to, was a prudent, modest, well•conducted young woman The seduction had deeply affected the father, who ap peared much depressed and seemingly heart-broken. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS now addressed the jury for the defendant, in an eloquent speech, and contended that all the circumstances of the case went to show that the plaintiff's daughter must have been a consenting party to the intercourse; for she not only had not screamed out, or raised any alarm in the house, which shp might have done upon being awakened by the liberties the defendant was taking with her on the first occasion. The defendant's wife was in the house; the other members of his family as Hell too as the servants of the house, all of whom she had had it in her power to arouse by a scream. But she had not screamed. Might it not, then, be inferred that she had been a con senting party to the intercourse ? Again, how was it that she had remained in the house for some time after wards, and without mentioning what had occurred ? Then, how had it happened that after her return home she had been altogether silent upon the subject, until when, at the expiration of several months, the alteration of her personal appearance had opened the eyes of her parents to the fact? In what way was this silence to be accounted for, otherwise than that she had herself been a consenting party ? Had that not been so, he was prepared to contend that the connexion never could have been effected so long as the girl had retained her strength for resist ance. And this position he took up upon the authority of all the leading German and French surgical sages, who had laid it down as a well ascertained fact that no woman could be ravished whilst her powers of resist anee lasted. Four months had elapsed between the perfection of the intercourse and the girl mentioning the affair to anybody, and even then there was no evi dence to show that she would have said anything upon the subject had not her external appearance led to an inquiry. So much for the girl herself. And now he came to the etnestion as to what was the amount of loss of service which the father had sustained. He submitted that no loss had been proved. Her character, her chastity, her reputation, his Learned Friend had said, were gone, were lost, and he had added that she was pure, spotless, and innocent. Was she? No. Then should he treat this as a simple case of bastardy where the reputed father had offered, rather than the matter should come within the knowledge of his wife and family, to pay all the expenses and to make the girl a weekly allowance. The acceptance of that offer, he was of opinion, would have been a wise course. In con clusion, the Learned Sergeant submitted that whilst there had been no corroboration of the girl's statement, so there bad been no evidence of any loss of her services having been sustained by the plaintiff, her father. Mr. Boron PLATT, in leaving the case to the jury, said that this was one of the most painful class of cases which came within the notice of a court of justice. It was that where a man who, being a husband and the father of a family, had taken to his house the youthful daughter of a friend and had seduced her. But there were features in the case which led to the conclusion that she had not behaved in so satisfactory a manner as she ought to have done. She had not only not given any alarm at the time of the commission of the offence, but she had even submitted to a second act of sexual inter course, and allowed some months to elapse without hav ing made any complaint, or giving her own family an intimation of the treatment she had received at the hands of one of that family's friends. The jury would look at all the circumstances of the case, and say what amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to. The jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and then returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2001. SHIP NEWS. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Lisbon, Oct. 28.
