A case which was investigated before Mr. INGHAM at the Thames Police-court on Wednesday, affords a mel incholy illustration of the condition of a vessel, in which master and crew appear to regard each other as enemies from the very commencement of their con nexion, and resolutely avail themselves of every op portunity of mutual annoyance. In such cases there are generally faults on both sides. Triflir.g diffe rences will almost necessarily arise between a master and osew hastily collected, and brought together for the first time, which a little forbearance and good temper on either side would speedily arrange, but which are fomented and aggravated by injudicious conduct, each party to the dispute endea vouring to thwart the other, until a state of affairs arises destructive of all discipline, highly injurious to the interests of the owners, and exceedingly dun geroua to the safety of the ship and cargo. The master is necessarily entrusted with extensive powers. He can, if he pleases, render the lives of the sailors miserable while sailing wider his command ; and we fear that many petty tyrants irritate and provoke the seamen for the mere purpose of showing their authority, while the latter are but too ready to retaliate. Although they cannot openly rebel without risking the serious consequences of a mutiny, they speedily discover the weak points of their com mander, and let slip no opportunity of " vexing the captain." In the present instance, four seamen, named PHILIP NE.-ILE, JOHN HANNAGAN, CHARLES WIL LIAMS, and JOHN IVADLER, summoned Captain ALFRED PALMER, master of the ship North Star, for various balances of wages, amounting in the whole to 461. 10s., for services on a voyage from London to Maatatlan and beck, and in the course of the inquiry the circumstances, so discre ditable to all parties concerned, were elicited. The captain resisted payment on the ground of very bad conduct on the part of the men; while they charged him with " great tyranny and harshness?' One of the men (Pamir NEALE) declared " that the captain and mate were always abusing the crew ;" and another (lIAsNAGAN) deposed on oath that "at the commencement of the voyage the captain said he would make the ship a hell afloat"—a promise which seems to have been v-ry completely fulfilled —and that he had " refused to allow the ship's company an hour for their dinner." Oa the 20th Nov ember matters appear to have reached a pnint very nearly approachirg to a mutiny. On that day the crew turned out before daylight to wash the deck ; at eight o'clock, a.m., the yards w ere squat:el, and the larboard wa'ch w(rit below to breakf,,st, and bad warcely got into the forecastle when they were called on deck to set sail. This was an..order si hich should have been instantly obeyed. If iniaElitave been that the starboard watch then on diitir . e.oul aye performed the task without assist sinee,that I l ia time was selected fur the express pur • pose :of tli!A ying the crew, but still it should have teen • romptly submitted to, even though the men 'Night keenly feel the petty slight. In place /of so doing, howevcr, they gave A S a great advant age to the captain by an. swering that " the •y would come up when they finished their breakfast." The captain seized the opportunity ; he at once ordered NEALE to be put in irons, and declared that be• would stop six days' pay from each of the others. This order, also, seems to have been resisted. NE. ►LE ran away into the forecastle, and the crew prevented the mate from following bin% Captain PALMER then brought out a brace of pistols and threatened t a shoot one of the men named KING, if he would not go down and bring up the fugitive. Several of the men were then placed under arrest, and, to use the language of the seaman NEALE, " they all agreed to go into irons, and were immediately put in confinement and called mutinous rascals. They were stapled down to the deck, and continued in that state, suffering greatly, for two days, when they got quit of their irons." After such painful exhibitions of mutual ill feelir•g it is by no means surprising that the men were inclined to desert on their arrival at Mazatlan, It scarcely required the temptation of " easy access to California" to induce the seamen to leave the vessel where they bad been treated in such a manner. Five of the crew accordingly went off, and were absent from the 13th to the 21st of March, when they were arrested by the Mexican soldiery, in consequence of a reward of twenty-five dollars per head being offered for them. The captain then had them detained in prison until the ship was ready to sail under a local law, paying 51. 45. Bd. police charges for each, so that on the whole the owners lost nearly 1501. by their conduct. On the investigation each party exhibited a most litigious spirit. The men took advantage of a clause in an Act of Parliament to refuse credit for an ad vance which they had actually received, while every forfeiture or penalty that could be enforced was rigo rpusly insisted on. It is to be regretted that these facts should only have been indirectly brought to light in a proceeding for a pecuniary demand. The whole case should be closely scrutinised, and the guilty parties, whosoever they might be, whether master or seamen, should receive punishment. For tunately the Act passed during the last session, and which will come into operation in the beginning of the year, will provide suitable remedies for all such transactions occurring after that time. We recommend to the attentive perusal of our readers the report of the proceedings of the Blackburn County Court, on Monday, which appears in another column. It was the first Court that had been held since the passing of the new Act, and the judge, Joax ADDISON, Esq., took the opportunity of delivering an admirable address on the subject, an address which gives the best, the most succinct, and at the same time comprehensive view of the nature of the new Act and its probable working, that has as yetbeen pre sented to the public. Like all persons engaged in the administration of a particular code of law, Mr. AD DISON is, however, sometimes inclined to ignore some of the dangers of his own system, and to consider as defects in the old system of procedure things which, in truth,are defects in the new. We protest against his attempt to sneer down trial by jury, in that passage of his address in which he asks, " Why should not the parties, when they both desire it, have their cause tried by the enlightened mind of the learned judge at the assizes, instead of the chance medley of a jury." For ourselves, we must confess that in cases where the real merits of the cause only have to be decided we should prefer infinitely to have the de cision of twelve men of business, twelve men of the world, taken by chance, if you will, from the jurors in attendance, to that of a judge learned only in the law, and whose mind is cramped and warped by the Prejudices of his rank and of his profession. The probability is greatly in favour cf the abstract justice of the decision of a jury in such cases, more espe cially when we recollect in how many instances, of late, judges of the superior courts, unable to forget their old habits of advocacy, have become actually counsel for plaintiff or defendant, as the case might be, and have only been kept within bounds by the clear sightedness and strong sense of justice of the jury, who have refused to suffer themselves to be misled by the bigotted prejudice of the presiding judge. It is not every learned judge wbo possesses the rare judicial talent, the strict impartiality, the innate love of justice, and the unvaryingly sound judgment of Lord CAMPBELL. We shou'd like to see the in tervention of a jury more frequently in County Court cases. Where a Curt is presided over by such men 23 Mr. ADDISON or Mr. Sergeant DowuNG, all partics may feel themselves perfectly safe, but we know t f County Courts in the neighbourhood of the metropolis which sire neither more nor less than plaintiffs' courts; and such all County Courts will become, when they are presided over by an incompe tent judge. This evil, however, will be in a great measure remedied, whenever a regular County Court bar shall be organized, as the judge would not dare to act, under the surveillance of a bar, in a glaringly unjust cr indecorous mariner; we are, therefore, re- juiced to find that Mr. ADDISON recommends the im mediate organization of a bar, und we hope that all members of the County Court bar will act upon Mr. Sergeant DOWLIIcG'S recommendation, and appear in Court robed, as they would in Westminster Hall. li, order to maintain an efficient bar, it is necessary that Mr. ADDISON'S very judicious recommendation to " others to abstain from pleading" should be strictly attended to ; indeed, we consider it would be ad vis able that in all jury trials, and in all cases in which the matter in dispute involves either the exercise of a right or a point of law, or shall be above the value of 51., the bar should have pre-audience. I: would be well that the practice of quasi appeal from the decision of one judge, which has hitherto existed upon the Blackburn circuit, should be compulsory on all circuits. "The judges of this circuit and the next," says Mr. ADDI- SON, " have conferred together upon cases reserved for consideration." It would mike the system complete if, the Blackburn custom having been made compul sory, one of the judges from each conference should at- tend iu London once a year, to meet his fellow-judges, for the purpose of digesting these decisions and sub- mitting the digest to the consideration of any of the judges of superior courts, on receiving whose sanction the digest should be considered as of binding autho rity in any County Court in the kingdom. By this means we should secure an uniform method of proce- dare in these courts—a thing much to be desired, Mr. ADDISON has conferred a great obligation on all the friends of a cheap and sr eedy administration of justice by the delivery of this addre3s, and we trust that the judges in the other Ccunty Courts will follow his excellent example cf ttking a careful note of every case, and of well weighirg every judgment. It is the only methoi by which they can secure respect to themselves or confidence in their decisions. DEATH OF BARONESS ROTIISCHILD.—We announce, with much regret the death of Baroness Rothschild, who expired yesterday afternoon at Gunnersbury-park, her seat, near Ealing. We are informed the Baroness was seized with determination of blood to the bead on Sunday, the 25th ult., and the symptoms, then alarming, continued to increase, when at halt-past twelve yesterday she expired, surrounded by nearly the whole of her family. Baron Lionel Roths child, who was on the continent when the Baroness was taken ill, un the receipt of the news instantly returned, and had the gratification of reaching home before his mother's death. Sir Anthot y Rothschild, Baron Nathaniel, and Mrs. Fitzroy, wife of the Right lion. IL Fitzroy, M.P., were also present at her dissolution. Baron Meyer Rothschild did not reach London from the Continent until yesterday afternoon, and was deeply affected to learn that his mother was no more. The deceased Baroness, who was in her 68th year, was widow of the celebrated capitalist and third daughter of Mr. L. B. Cohen. By the Baron, who died in 1836, she leaves issue four sons and two daughters—baron Lionel, Sir Anthony, Baron Nathaniel, and Baron Meyer, Baroness Anslem and Mrs. Fitzroy. DEATH OF A VETERAN -PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY. —Colonel William Elphinstone Holloway, C. 8., commanding officer - of Royal Engineers, expired at his official residence in the Citadel yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, after a pro tracted illness, the severity of which was much increased by the wounds he had received in the service of bis country. Colonel Holloway w.ts in the Peninsular campaigns of 1810, 1811, and 18 12 ; he was wound din the trenches before Badajoz, and shot through the body on the 26th of the same month whilst storming the enemy's works.

THE LIVERPOOL CAR STRIRE.-LIVERPOOL,TINUES• DAY.- Owing to a temporary arrangement w th the Town Council, the hackney-coach proprietors commenced running to-day. It is expected that the Council will revise their scale of rates. THE SUN, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have duly received the Paris journals of yes terday. They are principally occupied with the discussion of three subjects of engrossing importance—the second visit of the PRESIDENT to the departments— the opinion expressed by the Councils-General throughout the provinces as to the revision of the Constitution—and the recent funeral of the ex-King LOUIS PHILIPPE. As to the progress of the PRINCE towards Cher bourg (where he is to remain three days instead of two, as originally intended) everything " goes off" in his favour admirably, and sometimes with a degree of enthusiasm. At Nanterre, the first place passed through after leaving the capital, he was greeted by the National Guards and population. At Saint Germain the garrison was under arms, and a regiment of dragoons was passed in review by the PRESIDENT. The cries raised were loud and cordial, " Viva Napoleon," " Vive le President." At Triel the country fulks were collected together in large numbers, and received the First Magistrate favourably. Meulon was reached at midday, and after passing through numerous villages decorated in his honour with triumphal arches, Louts NAPOLEON stopped to take luncheon at a hamlet called Juzieres-la-ville, in the country residence of M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior. Here the whole of the priests from the neighbouring parishes came along the road with the crucifixes and the banners of the Church displayed to meet the PRESIDENT. He stopped to converse for some time with the parish priests, by whom he ap peared to be most enthusiastically received. Three parish priests, the sub-prefect of Mantes, the Mayors of Meulan and the neighbouring communes, and the officers of the National Guard were present at break fist. The honours of her house were done by Madame BARocHE, lady of the Minister. The PRESIDENT re mained only 17 minutes at table, and left exactly at two o'clock for Evreux. This latter place was reached, as we were enabled to announce briefly yesterday, at six o'clock on Tuesday evening. Before proceeding further in our account, it may be observed that from Meulan to Mantes the road was lined with the national guard of the surrounding country (tbe largest number of which came from Limay), and that from St. Germain to Evreux the only cries beard were those of " Vive le President," " Vive Napoleon." Having been received at Evreux on his arrival with the customary ceremonies, the Provisional Mayor stepped forward to the door of the carriage, and pro nounced the following address : " Monsieur le President,—The administration and the municipal council of Evreux are happy to offer you the expression of the sentiments of respect end gratitude with which their fellow-citizens are animated towards your person. " In giving you the immense majority of their votes, our population had formed a correct opinion of the chief from whom they asked the restoration of order and of public confidence. " You have realised our hopes, and we are sure that you will continue to march in the path which will en sure the prosperity of France. "On our side, we can give you the assurance that 1 our fellow-citizens, who have always proved their zeal in delending the cause of order, would again be pre- ' pared to offer you, if necessary, their co-operation, as all good citizens, all true friends of their country, ought to do. "Reckon consequently on us, Prince, as we count on you. Viva le President! Vive Napoleon!" The PRESIDENT made the following reply : " Monsieur le Maire,—l am much moved by your words, and by the assurances which you give me. They do not surprise me, for I am aware of the excellent spirit which animates the population of this department. Ido not forget that at my election I received here an im mense mejority of votes. I am happy to witness the present manifestation, and I thank you for it." Shortly afterwards the cortege proceeded amidst loud acclamations towards the hotel of the Prefecture, the carriages passing under triumphal arches and through a dense multitude. In the carriage with the PRESIDENT were M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior, and M. GUYOT, the Prefect of the Eure. In the second carriage were General DE LA lime, Admiral Ro erAIN-Desrosses, 'and M. ROUHER, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Marine, and Justice. In the other carriages were M. NIEUWERKERK, M. MOQLYART, Dr. CONNEAU, Commandant FLEURY, and the officers of the PRESIDENT'S household. As soon as the PRESIDENT arrived at the Prefec ture he received the authorities. When the clergy came forward, M. OLIVIER, the Bishop of Evreux, addressed him as folio a s :- " Monsieur le President,—The mission of religion is not only to turn men towards the blessings of eternity, hut also to teach them how to properly use the blessings given on earth. It applauds all that promises here be low a tranquil and happy lite—it calls down on prudent Goverrmeets new grace and new illuminations ; it takes interest in the conscience of nations—in the suc cess of great Inuit rtakings—in the maintenance of order and peace ; it preaches up moderation in those in power —charity in those who are at the head of it—labour in the working-classes—resignation amongst the poor— and concord in all ranks 0: bocieiy. " It is the glory of your Government, Monsieur—it is your personal glory—to have placed all these interests in honour; and in consequence France, in offering you this le mage as to the guardian of her repose, only per forms an act of gratitude, of which I am happy to be the Interprett r, in the name of the clergy and of the Catho lic believers of this fine department." The PRESIDENT made the following reply : " I am deeply touched with the manner in which you regard my mission in this world, and in which you consider my acts and my conduct since I have been called to the office of President of the Republic by the votes 01 the nation. " My object in these journeys is to get acquainted with the populations, to place myself in direct commu nication with their real organs, and to learn thoroughly their wishes and their interests. " Religion and family ties are, with authority and order. the bases of all durable society,the constant,object of my efforts is to consolidate these essential elements of the happiness and prosperity of the country. " I am happy at meeting with the co-operation of all the eminent men in the country, and with yours in par ticular; and I thank you fur the assurances which you give me in the name of your clergy, whose excellent sentiments I fully appreciate." Other addresses, such as one from the Rector of the Academy, were presented and responded to, and the reception having lasted some time, a grand dinner was offered by the PRESIDENT to the authorities and principal inhabitants. Amongst the guests were the Duke DB BROGLIE, M. DR VATIMESNIL, and M. LEFEVRE-DURUELE, all representatives of the people. The PRESIDENT did not remain long at table, feeling somewhat indisposed. At ten o'clock a splendid display of fireworks took place, and the public build ings were illuminated. The PRESIDENT was not well enough to attend the ball given afterwards at the Prefecture. As to the opinion of the Councils •General in refer ence to the revision of the Constitution, one fourth of them have already declared in favour of, and but few against, the proposition. Upon this subject the Presse has the following remarkable article : " We do not deny that the Constitution may be im proved. That it ought necessarily to be revised is what we have not to prejudge, and what the Legislative As sembly will have to decide in the third year of its ex istence by three successive deliberations, at a month's distance from each other, by three fourths of the majority of votes. But what is certain is that all parties may de sire that revision, and that without being agreed as to the opportunenesi, may at once admit its necessity. The Eonapartists desire it, because they hope for an empire under the name of a presidentship for ten years or for life. The Conservatives desire it, because they want two chambers. The Legitimists desire it, because they desire universal suffrage in two degrees. The Republicans de sire it, because they see in the institution of the presi dentship at the summit of the Government a phantom of royalty, a peril for democracy, an element of conflict, a temptation to usurpation. We shall soon know if the country also desires it, and, in that case, we de clare that it is not we who will throw any obstacle in its way, for, after all, we are dependent on the sovereignty of the people. It may, therefore, be comprehended, that whilst energetically blaming sp rit als to illegality, we can encourage and accept appeals to public opinion. Yes, let France reflect and judge by all the intelligences and all the consciences! She is sove reign, and far from contesting her right, we will defend it always against those who should desire to usurp or destroy it. We will beware of imprisoning that sove reignty in absolute forms, in rigorous definitions of at tributions. We admit the right of the councils-general, councils of arrondissement, and municipal councils to express their opinions. Wherever there is a mandate given there is an authority. Wherever a voice is raised in the moat humble commune of France, the Govern ment ought to have au ear to listen, and a conscience to judge.. It is by t h e re li g i ous res p ec t for opinion tha; tree governments . are founded, and that nations, con fidingdttehome urpeolitoa i ra b u reit the tx:pne e rdm ffi e scbsfiroetur:caeiymnt anything themselves gs. moral ferlLea eeel,ftyof for and od , ue s b roi r unp e sca a cer k irtie.s 7 with e c r o a n i : desire the revision of the Constitution, let them lf th ly. ey The Legislative Assembly aid consider expressionthesay of their wishes . as a serious element of appreciation of ti e public mind.

Marshal SOULT, the Due de Dalmatia, is prevented from taking part in the labours of the council general of his department, the Tarn, being confined in his chateau of Soultberg by severe indisposition. As to the demise and funeral of Louis PHILIPPE, it is stated by the Assemblee Nationale, that M. GUIZOT, M. DUCIIATEL, and M. Drudow, Ministers f the ex-KING on the breaking out of the revolution, ave left Paris for Claremont. We read in the Pays : September. 'rhier T s o w e il c l el n e o b t rat l e e d av r e ep ß r a , d se e n n ta b t e ir fo o re ha t s l neeordd if if ref cse. We beieve it is not true, as stated, thlt tke LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1850. Duchess d'Orleans has addressrd lett.rs to M. Thiers on the occasion of the death 0, Lillis Philippe. Is is not intended, in fact, at this moment to kssemble a political council at Claremont. The presence of M. Thiers at Claremont would then be without object, and it has not been demanded. His sentiments of personal devote,l ness to the Orleans family are well known, but be be lieves that at present nothing is possibl e i u F rance ex cept the presidency of the Prince Louis Napoleon, and he is decided to give to his Government the most ener gstie and most constant support. On his farewell visit to the President of the Republic before leaving Paris, M. Thiers stated to him that such was his deter mination, and he has so expressed himself in his con versations at Baden." The following incident has been recounted in some of the newspapers, as showing the disposition of the army just now— : _ _ "Several soldiers of a battalion of artillery, sbich arrived at Nantes a few days ago, on the way to St. Malo, created considerable sensation by parading through the town and the race-course, bawling revo lutionary songs, and headed by another artillery man carry ing a drawn sword. O n th e race course they continued to vociferate, and they drank to excess. Several notorious Socialists fraternised' with them, and excited them to abandon their duty. The next day General GERARD passed the battalion in review, and gave a severe lecture to the men who had violated their duty." His speech appeared to produce an excellent effect. On his elf mend, the man who had carried the drawn sword, left the ranks, and was taken into custody by the gendarmes. The soldiers of the 11th regiment and of the 9th Hussars, in gar rison at Nantes, warmly disavowed all sympathy with the artillerymen."

GERMANY. and n a r The Anzeiger Z e it ung con t a i ns an ex t raor di nary account of toe conf ess i on of JOIIANNAS STAUFF, the murderer of the C o u n t ess GOERLITZ. It cannot be forgotten that thi s unhappy man, who was con st G th o e esienz sentence in June t t es e t ed Countersaga against dernutd to imprisonment for life for the murder o f h le a ld t y, t h b ois a v t ier t rl i ne m oome e ee p n r bc o ye - . The affected str a in which he as sume d w h en fi rst i n confinement, gradually, however, gave way ; h e be came spiiitless and dejected, the harassing accusations of a last,efil his conscience, he was con strained to discharge his burdened mind, and declare his guilt. He has made a full and detailed confession of barbarities attendant on the murder of his noble mistress. The act was not pretneditreed : he entered her apartment—saw her writing-table standing open —knew that it contained her jewellery —forced the drawers—seized the bracelets, brooches, and pearls, and was putting them into his pocket when the Countess suddenly entered. She hurried up to him, and, fearing lest she should call for help, he rushed upon her and seized her by the throat. She struggled violently, and he was once even obliged to let go his hold ; but he again forcibly pressed his hands upon her throat, and in less than ten minutes she closed her eyes, her hands fell powerless, and her coml. tenance assumed a livid hue. He saw that she was dead. He let the body fall—rushed out of the room —locked the door both of that room and the outer apartment, and hurried to a public-hotve, where he drank off a quantity of wine. lie then returned to the castle. The Count came home to dinner at half- Not receiving an answer , he co ncluded that she was past six, and, after dressing , went to call the Countess. not at home. While waiting at table, STAUFF resolved that every trace of his crime should be obliterated. As soon as the Count was gone out, at about eight, o'clock, STAUFF returned to the Countess's apartments. He found the body still warm, and the limbs pliant. lie placed her in her chair at the writing-table, her elbow resting upon the open desk, and supporting her head, her whole body being bent over the desk, as it she were asleep ; he then placed shavings, paper, &c., upon the desk and table, and set fire to them close before her face ; next he set fire to a divan at the other end of the room, locked the doors of both the inner and outer a partments, and threw away the keys. He then went to his own room, when he lighted a tire, in the middle of which he placed the casket containing the jewels—but he could not get the fire to burn. STAUFF deeply lamented all the unjust lied injurious hints which he had thrown cut rel a ti ve t o the Count, and w hich at one ti me made him to be suspected of being the mur d erer of his own wife. STAUFF said he denied his guilt in the first instance, in the hope that then sen tence of not guilty would be passed ; but that the anguish of his soul was intolerable; 10,000 lives would he give, if he bad them, that that deed of horror alight be undone. It appears that a devotional book, given him by the judge who condemned him, which contained the .scripture promise that there is forgiveness with GoD, even for the chief of sinners, if he will turn to Him with true contrition of heart, acknowledging and confessing his sins, impelled STAUFF to make the confession.

To ensure this re sult, however, it is essential that such lines only are re• lected in which, from the actual or approaching close of capital account, confiltnce is not likely to be again dis turbed, and in which some favourable feature either of revenue or capital is descerLible."

Of course the views of Sir Charles Wood in this important matter will have to be sub mitted to the consideration of his colleagues, most of whom it is known coincide with him in opinion that these imposts, so obnoxious and injurious to tr a d e , oug h t i mmediately to be erased from the statute-book. AN INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH THE ORION.— The late Captain BPNeil, who, with his lady and two daughters were among the unfortunate sufferers, lately caused a handsome mausoleum to be erected upon a pro minent rock in the Isl4nd of Gigha, of which be was the proprietor. He wished it to be of sufficient size to entomb six, but it was reported by the contractor that owing to the necessary I,mit,d site, it would contain no more than four, and his suggestion was accordingly adopted. The struc ture had been just completed when the melancholy catas trophe referred to occurred, and in that receptacle of the dead are deposited the remains of the gallant captain and the three members of his hapless family who perished with him.
