EIVARK and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY, and EXTENSION SCHEME into LINCOLNSHIRE. The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announcing that in consequence of the great and influential support they have received in Lincolnshire, as well as along the line of their original project, they will be prepared to bring forward in the next session of Parliament an integral scheme, based on the recommendation of the Board of Trade, with good gradients, and shorter than any other line projected or existing, direct from Boston to Sheffield, to be called the BOSTON, NEWARK, and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY. Engineers and Surveyors are now engaged on the proposed line, and it is confidently hoped that the enormous traffic so fully proved and admitted before the Committee of the House of Commons, in the case of the Newark and Sheffield Railway, and which will be so greatly extended by the new project, will ensure success in Parlia ment, and an ample remuneration to the Shareholders. The following gentlemen will be on the Provisional Committee, which is not yet complete, but will shortly be published with a de tailed prospectus, and include a large number of influential parties connected with the town ofßoston : PitoVISIONAL COMMITTEE, Charles Allix, Esq., Willoughby Hall Sir Wm.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. \lorning .. 49 minutes after i j Evening .. 9 minutes after 6 and stipulations of Articles 3 and 8 are most offensively and palpably injurious. No British di plomatist ought to have lowered the moral preten sions of his country to a level with those of France in any record or notice of the proceedings of either touching the suppression of slave-trading from any date subsequent to 1807. Now this is a distinction to be never lost sight of. It raises no point of political disparagement that can give offence to France, to abstain from putting her in the same category with England, as one of the two Powers which, by the conventions of 1831 and 1833, were determined to prevent their subjects from slave-trading under their flags. The flag of England has been struck for ever in connexion with slave-trading from the year 1807. In the year 1831 that of France was notoriously and most extensively and profligately spread over this trade. Till 1831 the French Government had manifested more than reluctance to any virtual effort to put down this shame upon the French people. For the Convention, as a treaty, we rejoice, as we shall ever do, at any other equally valid evidence of a good understanding between the two Crowns; but that Dr. LUSIIINGTON should have been inveigled into such a mode of slurring over unpleasant recollections affecting France, by degrading England into an implied (but, thank GOD, most unfounded) participation in the long-protracted criminality of the French sufferance of slave-trading, argues great tact and ability on the part of the Due DE BROGLIE, but does not excuse the Learned Doctor for yielding to the suggestions of his flattered vanity, or his over-excited credulity. Madrid journals of the 4th instant have been received, but they bring no news of importance. The Heraldo, a Minis terial paper, announces that the French Government have permitted Don CAR Los and his consort to proceed to Greoulx, in the department of the Lower Alps ; but it adds that he will be watched there as closely as at Bourges, and that the Prince of ASTURIAS will remain in the last-named town, under surveillance. On the Madrid Bourse the Funds were flat. The Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 30% for 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20% for 14 days ; Passives, 6% cash. In the French Chambers of Peers the Bill for increasing the number of French cruisers on the African coast was taken into consideration on Wednesday, when the Marquis DE BOISSY first addressed the Chamber. He considered the new treaty of a very satisfactory character, and far superior to those of 1831 and 1833, but at the same time maintained that the Government had consented to concessions that were to be regretted. He wished to know why no stipulations had been made with regard to the eastern coast of Africa. Was it with a view to favour England, that the slave trade might be carried on there for the benefit of the East India Company. He declared also that a secret treaty existed, by which France could not send more than 3,000 men to the Indian Seas. He should, therefore, be glad to have some answer from the Government on these points. The Duke DE BROGUE said no such exception existed. The French Government could send on the eastern coast any num ber of vessels it pleased, but it had not entered Into any obli gation on the point, because the right of search was not exer cised in that part of the world, the slave trade being only prac tised there under the Portuguese flag, over which England possessed certain rights, in virtue of ancient treaties. The fact was, that the eastern coast of Africa had not been included in the treaty because slavery was abolished in all the British possessions. M. GUIZOT denied the truth of the assertion of the Marquis DE BOISSY relative to a secret treaty stipulating not to send more than 3,000 men to the Indian Seas. No such treaty, he said, existed, or bad ever existed. The Bill was passed by a majority of 94 to 8. The intelligence in the papers is without interest, if we except the following ex tract from the Quotidienne, which relates to the faina clamosa raised against VICTOR HUGO, with which our readers are already acquainted. The name of the married lady is not mentioned : "We have spoken with all the reserve prescribed by public decency of an event which has caused, and still causes, great sensation in Paris, and respecting which a grand trial before an exceptional tribunal was expected. The affair is arranged. A high functionary who, when he was Minister, had never a very decided taste for the poli . cy of conciliation, has, it is said, in duced the complaining party to decline prosecuting. The Peers will not, therefore, be retained in Paris after the close of the session. The only justice that will take place will be that of public opinion." The Sud of Marseilles contains the following intelligence from Algiers, dated June 21 : " M. Leon Roche returned last night from Larache, with the Emperor of Morocco's ratification of tbe treaty concluded between that Sovereign's Minister and General Delarue. The arrival in the roads of three French ships of war, the Veloce, Titan, and Cygne, has promoted the arrangement, and seasonably seconded the intel. ligent efforts of General Delarue, our Charge d'Affaires, M. de Chaseau, and M.

It is stated in a letter from Beyrout, of the 12th of June, that the Paella was expected there on the 13th, and fears were entertained that as soon as he left the mountains the war between the Druses and Maronites would be renewed.

A Correspondent says :—" The verdict was for the defendant on the' second issue' only, and for the plaintiffs on the other issues, the Sheriff giving the plaintiffs liberty to move the court next term to set aside the defendant's verdict, on a point of law reserved, the record being stayed for that purpose." • - SWIMUING MATCH AT HOLBORN BATHS.—This match came off on Tuesday evening, at half.past eight o'clock, before a very crowded and respectable audience. In the first heat three competitors started—namely, Messrs. Pentus, Mr. Poulton, and Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Pentus took the lead at the start, and kept it all through, Mr. Poulton maintaining a very good second. The second heat was between Messrs. Robertson, Turner, and Grant, which was won easily by Mr. Robertson; Mr. Turner coming in second. The final heat was contended for by Messrs. Turner, Nicholson, Robertson, and Pentus, and after a sharp contest, the latter gentleman was declared the winner of the cup, ami ist loud cheeri n g.

Since the last quar terly meeting, it is needless to say, the price has been very consi derably reduced. Every description of manufactured iron, within thirteen weeks, has been reduced 20 or 25 per cent. The great hope of the ironmasters is, now the price has, as they conceive, got to its lowest ebb, that the present price will remain stationary. We do not, from all accounts, believe that it will. The railway ape. culations of the midland counties, and of the entire country, now Parliament is becoming tired of the inquiries, prove to be great hoaxes to the iron-manufacturers. It Is true that same masters, in anticipation of a great demand, have done well (most of them deeply Involved in these speculations), but the issue will be, as an. ticipated by Lords Brougham and Ashburton, that the railway mania will not only injure private speculators, but that it will be seriously injurious to the iron trade of Staffordshire and Wales. The attempt to supply has far outreached the probability, if not the possibility, of demand. The prices settled at Dudley, on Saturday next, will be most important to the public. DETERMINED SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—On Thursday night, a few minutes before eight o'clock, as a man re. spectably attired was passing along London-bridge on the pathway on the eastern side, he suddenly stopped near the third recess, and threw himself over the parapet into the water. The tide was run.. ing down with extraordinary rapidity, so that before the unfortu nate man could be reached his body had floated to a considerable distance. Just as he sunk, one of the boats neared him, but too late to save his life, as he sank to rise no more, The body of the son of Mr. Chandler, the pro prietor of the Ship, Milbank, who was drowned on Tuesday whilst endeavouring to save a man from a similar fate, was found yester day by some fishermen off the Hungerford Suspension-bridge. Yesterday meriting Mr. Benjamin Blaby, the chief usher of the Thames Police-court, departed this life in the 65th year of his age. He had been attached to the old Thames police destroyw for 24 years previous to his appointment, as a " land officer." REAsoNAuLy MAD !—The authorities of the town o f an b d a e v r e in i g ssu d ed ogs a . p h roc o Imamay be " suspected reasonablyation to the local police t e all Greenwich mad ;" the matter being left to the judgment of the policeman on duty. SPA -FIELDS BURIAL- G ROUND.-,.Yesterday the arbi trator (Mr. Bramwell, barrister) commenced the hearing of evi dence on the order of reference made on the prosecution connected with the Spa-fields burying-ground. Mr. Wakeling, the vestry clerk of Clerkenwell, attended in support of the prosecution; and Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, represented the de. fendants. The evidence given was not allowed to be made public, nor, of course, the discussion which occurred between the parties, and which took place before any of the witnesses were called. The matter was not concluded, and the opinion of the arbitrator will be made to the Court under whose direction the order of reference was made. RICOURAGE REWARDED.—On the Bth instant the General Court of the Royal Humane Society, at the recommenda tion of the Special Committee, awarded silver medallions of honour to Mr. Frederic Burd, son of the Rev. G. Burd, of Cound-lodge, near Shrewsbury, and to Henry Wood Sandford, son of the Rev. W. Sandford, incumbent of Newport, Salop, for the highly cou rageous manner in which they exerted themselves, under circum stances of extreme personal peril and difficulty, in rescuing three ladies and a gamekeeper from very imminent danger of death by drowning in a large sheet of water on the estate of Mr. J. C. Borough, recently High-Sheriff of Shropshire. T}IE SUN, LONDON, FRIIDAY'rEVENING, JULY 11, 1845. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bags, including 1,000 for export and en speculation. The market was quieter, but without any other change.

Owing to press of matter we are compelled to omit the Parliamentary Summary, but it is of less importance, as with the exception of one Bill (the Irish Colleg.:s Bill) no question of great interest was discussed. That Bill was read a third time in the Commons, and passed by one of the largest majorities of the session. Sir ROBERT INGLIS intended to have moved that it be read a third time that day three months, but was prevented, from some informality. H• then contented himself with giving a simple negative, when the House divided, and there were for the third reading 177, and for the amendment only 26, giving a majority of 151. This beneficial measure is therefore safe. The House of Lords will pass it by a majority equally triumphant, and we confidently trust that both parties in Ireland will give it a fair trial, and lend their aid in the great cause of education. The debate on Tuesday night last on the objects, the terms, and the effect of the Convention recently concluded between Great Britain and France for the better suppression of the slave' trade was opened by a speech from Lord PAL3IERSTON, certainly one of the most able that was ever delivered in con nexion with the general question of negro slavery, within the walls of Parliament. It was ;by no means faultless indeed; for in some essential particulars we must consider it to have been deficient in candour towards his political op ponents ; and as to others, in that cardinal excellence of legislative oratory—political discretion. With these allow ances or deductions, it was still a brilliant and masterly ad dress, admirable for its comprehensive views—its condensed statements of facts and documentary evidence scat tered through many volumes of sessional papers, returns, and reports. It gave a lucid but appalling account of the unmitigated—perhaps, aggravated—atrocities of this hideous traffic as it exists at this moment, not only on the western but on the eastern coasts of Africa. It was a generous, elo quent, and earnest appeal to the moral courage, the con sistent humanity of a Christian nation, not to relax in the energy with which it had embarked upon, and hitherto persisted in, the virtuous enterprise of sup pressing the most atrocious crime on the most extensive scale, which one family of the human race can perpetrate against another. In denouncing the frightful sa crifices of life which, year after year, attend the carrying on of this execrable trade—a trade that, in ten years, depopu lates Africa, on a very moderate computation, to the amount of not less than one million of human beings—in revealing, by a few casual glimpses, as it were, some portion of the unimaginable horrors—the previous hunting, capture, and manacling of these human animals of the chase, and of booty ; their subsequent packing in bulk, their privations, and the maddening thirst and delirious fury that succeed it—. the unremoved corpses of the dead, from suffocation or inani tion, left to corrupt by the sides, or in the laps, even, of their sur viving companions of the middle passage—and, finally, the lan guid and weakly wretches, whose constitutions, on being disem barked, are found too debilitated for the sordid puposes of the Muscat slave-dealer, and who are therefore left on the burning beac'a, just where they have sunk from exhaustion and ill treatment, to be drowned by the returning tide ;—in all these passages of his address the Noble Lord spoke out with all the sympathy of the philanthropist, and all the just indig nation of an Englishman. There can be no second opinion, we apprehend, on the spirit and effect with which these terrible, though necessary, details are touched upon. It was in enforcing the immediate purposes of his motion "for the names of the witnesses examined before the mixed British and French Commission for the better suppression of the slave trade, and also of the minutes of the evidence given by them," that the Noble Viscount, in the heat of his argument, must be thought to have been betrayed into those expres sions to which we have alluded as wanting in candour and in discretion. There is no doubt that he was justi fied—unhappily justified—in declaring his solemn conviction " that slave-trading was a crime which desolated Africa, de based Asia, contaminated America, from the north to the' south of the settled states of that Continent, and stained Europe with unpardonable guilt." But, surely, he was re proved not without reason by Sir R. PEEL for volunteering a somewhat exaggerated apprehensiveness of French insiecerity in its adhesion to the cause of slave trading suppression, and for manifesting a disposition to speak disparagingly of the value of French aid in a common cause on so righteous an object. We are likewise compelled, to acknowledge that we feel the force of the Premier's re proof that it was ungracious in the Noble Lord to seek to detract from the merit of Portugal (whatever the past duplicity and contumacy of her conduct) in respect of the good faith and even vigilance of her present exertions to put down the slaving expeditions of her own subjects. Perhaps, too, the Noble t'ord may have somewhat damaged the cause he so very ably advocated, by accusing the present Government of apathy in looking to the execution of those conventions and engagements for the suppression of the slave trade, which the Government that had the good fortune to reckon among its most accomplished colleagues the Noble Lord himself, nego tiated under his Lordship's immediate supervision and ma nagement. There is as little of political discretion as of moral candour, we must repeat, in needlessly reflecting upon the counsels of a great people like the French, with regard to transactions that have passed, and as such—as being " faits accomplis "—are, perhaps, no longer within the pale of useful or fair criticism, because they cannot be conformed to any rule or proposition, however excellent, that can now be suggested ! But having entered our protest against these partial de fects, we must do justice to the general tenor, and express our full concurrence in, the general conclusions of this noble address. Whilst we fully concur in the opinion avowed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, that such a convention between the two nations, as that which has been negotiated on behalf of the respective Crowns, by the Duc DE BROGLIE and Dr. LITSHINGTON, is, in itself, and its purposes, a political good, and a hopeful augury of a happier future to the outraged races of Africa, we cannot escape from the force of the charge which Lord PALMERSTON has brought against the British negotiator of having admitted allega tions into the preamble and certain articles of the Convention, at once derogatory to the high reputation this country has justly earned by its abolition of slave-trading eight-and thirty years ago, and by the Imperial ransom which its munificence and its justice paid down, under the self-imposed conditions of the Act of 1834, for the emancipation of all the negro slaves within its colonial dominions.

There are but one or two papers, and very few letters by this opportunity, and these add nothing of importance to our previous in formation. No news is given relative to the commercial treaty. We have more arrivals to-day from Australia, but dates are not quite so late as those already received. The particulars which have transpired relative to the job bing of certain officials in the Shares of the projected North Kent line, brought to light through the petition of the South. Eastern Railway Company, shows how the opposition to the plans of the latter has been carried on, and how little the North Kent ever was entitled to boast of the sanction of the Board of Ordnance. In standing upon its merits the South- Eastern Company, in the judgment of most parties, has best ensured the ultimate success of its comprehensive scheme for supplying the railway wants of Kent. It is gratifying to state that in addition to the subscriptions already advertised in The Sun for the relief of the sufferers by the dreadful fire at Quebec, her Majesty has subscribed 2001., Prince Albert 1001., and the Canada Company 1001. &c.

The unsettled state of the weather caused the holders to ask more money for fine Foreign Wheat, but the millers were not disposed to comply with their demands. There was no alteration in grinding Barley. The Malt trade was dull, arising from the supply being more than equal to the wants of the trade; so that come difficulty was experienced in obtaining late rates.

We had a very steady general demand, at full price& MURDER OF MR. PALMER AND EIGHT SEAMEN OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP WASP. CONTINUATION OF THE INQUIRY. PLYMOUTH GUILDHALL, JULY 8. Lieut. Robert Douglas Stupart was sworn, and said—l am a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and in February last I belonged to her Majesty's sloop Wasp, and was on duty in her off Lagos, in the Bight of Benin, on the coast of Africa. On the 26th of that month, at eight o'clock P.M , boarded, in the pinnace, the Fclicidade, a Bra. zilian two.masted schooner. She had a crew of about 28 men, and was completely fitted for the slave trade. I therefore detained her as a slave vessel, until the Wasp, which was also in chase of her, came up, which she did about ten o'clock the same evening. On the following morning gave up charge of her to the master, and went on board the Wasp. In the afternoon of the 27th, between four and five o'clock, I went on board the Felicidade to relieve Mr. Roberts. Captain Usher made a communication to me, and I steered a particular course. At about eight o'clock the same evening the lookout man reported a sail to the leeward. At daylight of the 28th I saw a brigantine to the windward, and after a chase of the whole day I came up to her at about ten o'clock at night. I hoisted the colours is the jolly boat, and fired a pistol, as a signal for her to heave to. She did heave to. I went close to her in the jolly.boat ; some person from the brigantine hailed us in the Portuguese language, asking who we were. I told them we were English, whereon they made sail, and I could not catch them. By the time I got back to the schooner the brigantine was out of sight. The next morning I saw the same vessel lying about five miles to the leeward of us. We gave chase, and came up with her about eight o'clock the same evening. I passed close to her, and told them to haul their sails down, which they did. I sent Mr. Thomas Palmer and eight men on board the brigantine. When he got on board he hailed me, and made a communication. I kept her in sight all night, and on that night, or the following morning, eight of the prisoners now present, and some others, came from the Echo, the brigantine, on board the Felicidade, excepting one prisoner, the Spaniard. About nine o'clock on the 2d of March I called Mr. Palmer on board the Feli cidade, and I went on board the Echo. I found her full ef slaves, there being about 434 in number. There were about 200 on deck. I went below for about an hour te;attend to the slaves, who had been confined for about 48 hours. When I left the Felicidade there were sixteen prisoners, fourteen belonging to the Echo, and two belonging to the Felicidade, and eight of our men, and Mr. Palmer, James Mullins, Edward Marshall, James Mitchell, James Baynom, Thomas Barfoot, Thomas Gold, Jack Andrews, and Joe Wilson, the two latter were Yroomen, and Thomas Gold, a marine, all belonging to the Wasp. I know prisoner Francesco Servia, and the prisoner Jonas Majoural. The Spaniard, left on board the Felicidade, did not afterwards return to: the Echo. When I had been about an hour on board the Echo I got on the deck. I saw the Felicidade, with the Brazilian colours flying, corning up on our weather quarter. Some one on board hailed us to heave to. I saw the person calling himself J. A. Cequario on board the Felicidade. We did not heave to. She passed close alongside our weather beam, and fired round and grape. She parsed on, and again fired, and then escaped. I followed her until dark, and then lost sight of her, and never saw her again. On the fol. lowing afternoon I fell in with the Wasp, and communicated with the Commander, and in about five or six days took charge of the Echo, and went in her to Sierra Leone, and gave her in charge to the Mixed Commission Court, where she was condemned as law. fal capture. The evidence was interpreted to the prisoners, and to its genera purport they gave their assent. Thomas Lethbridge deposed that he was a corporal in the Wool wich division of the Royal Marines, and that he was serving on board her Majesty's sloop Star. Early on the morning of the 6th of March, witness deposed, I saw a strange sail, which, after a chase, the Star came up with, at about three or four o'clock. One of the Star's boats was ordered out, under the command of Lieu tenant Etheridge, to the strange vessel. I went in this boat, and, bearding the vessel, that subsequently turned out to be the Felici. dade, her crew was found below. At the command of the officer I went below to search them out, and in the after cabin and other parts of the vessel, hidden away, twenty-one persons were found and brought upon deck. The ten prisoners present were among that number, and so also were the other three persons calling them selves A. Saquirerio, E. F. Royegres, and Saberino de Costa. I was on board the vessel about six hours, and have no doubt as to the prisoners and the other three men being thirteen of the persons found on board. I went to the after cabin in search of papers, and there found a volume of the " Cabinet Cyclopirdia" with the name of "R. D. Stupart" on the fly-leaf. I also found some duck bags, such as is used by seamen in the Royal Navy. The bags contained flannel and serge, such as is used in her Majesty's service. I also found a pair of clues used in sling ing hammocks, partly made, and a fishing line with the Govern ment mark. In going down the main hatchway I observed several stains of blood upon the slave deck ; I also found a boat's anchor and an awning stanchion, just such as might have belonged to a jolly-boat. I also found a lead and line. All the things found were conveyed on board the Star about six hours after boarding, it being then about eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The prisoners were also removed to the Star, and from that day until the 22d of March I had constant opportunities of seeing the prisoners, and have no doubt they are the men that were taken from the Felici dade. On the second day after they were taken on board the sentinel on duty called my attention to the heads of four of the prisoners. I looked to them, and found that each of the four had the seventh sword wound on the head. The wounds were fresh, and were attended to by Mr. King, the surgeon. When the pri soners were first brought on board I did not see the wounds, as they wore handkerchiefs tied round their heads under their hats or caps. In consequence of these wounds the four men—viz., Joze Maria Martins, Juan Francisco, Manuel Jose Alves, and Florenzo Riberrero, were placed in irons. When the wounds were discovered, the prisoners accounted for them by signs and in broken English by the falling of some portion of the mast of their vessel across their heads. The prisoners were taken from the Star to the Penelope, and sent home in the Rapid, in which ♦essel they arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday evening. The prisoners, at this stage of the proceedings, wished to know when they would be permitted to state their own case? They were told there were four ether witnesses to examine, after whose examination they would be able to make whatever statement they thought proper. It being now five o'clock, the Court adjourned until to-morrow (Wednesday), at eleven o'clock. The prisoners were removed to the borough prison, and the ap- _ , provers onboard the San Josef. The prisoners are all rather under.siaed men. Francisco Ferira de Santo Servia, who is said to have been the captain of the Echo, is rather a fine-looking man. He wore a figured shirt, the ground of which was yellow, open at the neck, and a cloak loosely slung over his shoulders. WEDNESDAY.—The first witness examined this morning was Lieut. Wilson, late of the Star, but his evidence was not important. The captain of the Felicidade, named Cuquirebio, was next sworn and examined through the interpreter, having first been cautioned by the magistrate that he was not obliged to say anything that would criminate himself. He said—l was captain of the Felicidade, a schooner, belonging to Bahia, in the Brazils, and she was employed in the slave trade. I left Bahia on the 6th of January, and had a crew of 33 men. I recognise among the pri soners Janus Majoural as being the only person who was of my crew, and he was the cook. The vessel was consigned to the house of Sala and Co., at Ouin, a place otherwise known by the name of Lagos, I arrived at Lagos on the 6th of February, and sent my papers ashore, which were delivered to my correspondents. Six of my crew went in the boat, two of whom remained on shore, and the others returned on board.E then discovered a brig, which I knew to be a ship of war, bearing down upon me; the brig was in chase of us three days, during which time we lost sight of her, On the third day, we returned to Lagos, and I sent four of my crew on shore with a letter, and in about half an hour we put to sea again. The same day I saw the brig's launch and two boats, but we were not within range. I then went to sea, and was away ten days, during which time we sprung our mainmast, which we afterwards fished. - In fifteen days more I returned to Lagos, and then I discovered to windward her Majesty's brig Star, and to leeward her Majesty's brig Wasp. I then tacked and got out of their way again. In two days I returned to Lagos, and was told that my slaves had been waiting for me on the beach, but that they had been sent back again. In consequence of orders, 1 was preparing t 9 go to sea, when I discovered one of the brigs under sail. I swept along under the shore until I saw two boats and a launch coming towards us, when I loosed sail. The boats chased us all the da), and as they approached we fired at them with muskets and pistols; about 7 o'clock in the evening we were boarded ; my crew wanted to tire on the boats as they came alongside, but I ordered them not to do so, and, with the mate's assistance, I threw the powder and the muskets overboard. I was then trans ferred to the Wasp, and 25 of my crew accompanied me. The follow ing morning the Fellcidade, having on board the prisoner Majoural and myself, proceeded to sea under the command of Lieut. Stupart. On the second day after sailing we saw a brigantine and gave chase. The Felicidade having neared her, the lieutenant got into a boat and went alongside, and the brigantine shot ahead and was soon cut of sight. We continued to chase her, and the next morning we saw her right ahead. Between eight and nine o'clock P.M. the officer, Mr. Palmer, boarded her. When the officer had been on board about an hour, he sent 10 or 12 men, amongst whom were the prisoners, excepting the Spaniard, Majoural, on board the Feli. cidade. I had no conversation with these men until the following morning, when the prisoner Serva, the captain of the Echo, wished me good morning, and asked for some coffee. Serva then told me he was not the captain, but that he was merely a passenger. The prisoner Serva also said to me, " The Englishmen are not armed ; I have four men I can put confidence in; we'll kill all the English men, and then we'll go and take the brigantime." I replied, " Don't you recollect there are the British cruisers around us ? The brigs and the steamer are outside, and if we do it we may be taken in the night, and then we shall to put to death." Serva told me 1 had no sense, and I replied, " I will go and tell the officer if you are that way inclined and are so vicious." Serve's brother. in-law, who was present, then said to me, " Don't say anything to the officer, and I will say no more about it." Some exchanges took place. and ultimately Mr. Palmer and some English sailors were left on board the Felicidade. The officer having washed himself sat down on the quarter-deck, tr.lking with the quarter. master. I went to the head of the vessel and presently, on looking round, I saw Serva looking down the hatchway and calling to the prisoners to come up on deck. He, Serva, said " Now is our time to commit the murder, for the sentry is asleep; there are three asleep and two of them are drunk, and now is our time, for there are but two men awake aft." On hearing this I ran over to Serva and said " No." By this time the men were coming up the hatchway, and, finding Serva was determined I ran to the officer and the quarter master, and told them by signs what was going on. The quarter master rose and ran towards the hatchway. He then took up a handspike and struck the men on the heads as they came up, with a view to prevent them reaching the deck. I then ran to the English sailor who was at the he and told him by signs what was going on. He left the helm, alTri I took charge of it. This man went forward, and taking up a handspike, assisted the quarter master. The prisoner Serva then came aft, and called to some men who were in a boat at the stern to come on board, but only one did so. Serva then remained aft, and ;called out to the prisoners, Kill them ! kill them I heave them into the water !" I saw one of the English sailors receive a cut from one of the pri soners; he fell and was thrown overboard. He did not fall into the water, but seized hold of the shrouds, and then the prisoner Joaquim cut him over his head and arms and cut off his fingers, so that he was obliged . to let go his hold and he fell into the sea. While he was being cut he cried out, " Oh, Portu. guese, don't kill me !" While this was going on, all the prisoners now present were on deck, taking a part in killing the sailors. Serva continued aft, and called out, " Kill them, kill them !" The prisoners used knives eight or nine inches long, with sharp points and white handles ; and these were concealed inside the waistbands of their trousers. I saw the prisoner Majoural run after the young officer (Mr. Palmer) and run his knife into his side; the officer fell against the bulwarks, and Majoural took him up by his feet and threw him overboard. All this time I had hold of the helm, but did not interfere for fear of what they might do to me. The quartermaster fought desperately; he struck the prisoner Alves on the head, and then pitched him overboard, but he swam round to the boat and was picked up. The quarter. master struggled forward with the other men, and knocked several of them down. I believe he would have overpowered them all, but some of them got behind him and stabbed him in the back and side. He then fell, and died on the deck, which was covered with his blood. All the prisoners present except Serva, were concerned in this. The English sailors, who were asleep, were stabbed and thrown overboard. The two Kroo_ men belonging to the Wasp jumped overboard and swain away. When it was all over, Serva came up to me and said " Well, Cap tain, what do you think of it now? Don't you think we have done the thing that is just in killing these Englishmen 1 0 '' Serva then lowered the peak of the mainsail, as a signal to his brother. in-law, who was on board the brigantine. He said it was agreed between them that whoever did the deed first should lower the peak of the mainsail as a signal to the other. At this time the brigantine was within sight. The witness then proceeded to detail the manner of the schooner's passing the Echo, and at the conclu sion of his examination in chief he was subjected to a severe cross examination by Mr. Edwards. The examination of this witness occupied upwards of ten hours. The Court adjourned at half-past six, and resumed the examina. tion at eight o'clock, SPORTING IN TE'LLIGEINCE. TATIERSALLS.—YESTERDAY.
