AMERICAN NEWS• ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 21. By the Royal mail steam -ship Canada, Captain Har rison, we have advices from New York to the Bth, Boston to the 9th, and Halifax to the 10th inst. She brings 130 passengers. Our accounts from New York by the Canada, which extended to the Bth instant (the usual tele graphic dispatch via Halifax not having been re ceived), are of unusual interest, bringing a large variety of intelligence from the West Indies, South America, &C. Letters from New York report, with respect to the domestic affairs of the United States, that political matters remain quite. No further disturbances had occurred at Boston touching the fugitive slave arrested there on the eve of the Franklin's departure. Large meetings of the populace were being held, and the Rev. Theodore Parker and other speakers urge violent resistance to the laws, but the prisoners were safely guarded by the military, &c., and no rising occurred on the 7th. Judge Shaw refused a writ of habeas corpus applied for on the petition of Thomas Simms, the fugitive slave. Fugitive slaves were discovered by the commis sioners living upon the flesh of their dead companions. Letters from Washington, in the New York Journal of Commerce, express a probability that a Deficit Bill for 12,000,000 dolls. will be presented on the re assembling of Congress. C. M. Ingersoll, Demo crat and Unionist, had been elected to Congress. for Connecticut. It is announced, also, that the Mexican en Boundary Commission had arranged the d with the Mexican Commission, and that a n initial point was fixed on the Rio Grande. Our New York files announce t h e t he sth, intended h e launch of the steam-ship Pioneer, of 2,700 tons, ° to carry passengers to Europe to the Exposition. Several new and somewhat threatening crevasses had occurred on the MississiPltßrian colonists Hun From Texas we learn that tb had met a most favourable f r r e o c m e don. g P N Yor Our mercantile letters gold from ew Californi k a, Si state c., that the owing to the influx of threatened decline in sterling exchange had not been realized. Our letters from San Francisco extend to the sth f b e ing 16 days later than our last accounts. ° March, Great excitement has been caused by the threatened lynching in San Francisco of two men suspected of almost mu rdering a merchant named J ansen, i n his store, and robbing him of 2,000 dollars. Ulti mately the jury disagreed, and the people, after tremendous excitement, quietly dispersed. Political affairs were also in an excited condition, arising from the struggle to elect a senator to the United States. From the mines we learn that dry weather continued to be experienced, and from the lack of rain apprehensions were entertained in many new quarters ; locations had, however, been explored which promised to yield largely, and from the general tenor of the accounts it was expected that unusually large receipts of dust would be received during the spring, the miners having adopted plans :to meet the difficulty. Gold dust was already arriving somewhat more freely at San Francisco, and the assayers were fully employed. Quartz rock mining and crushing by machinery was being prosecuted with great activity. On the 2dof March two steamers were destroyed by fire at San Francisco. Our accounts state, in regard to mercantile affairs, that since the departure of the previous mail business operations had been light. Goods had been offered freely for sale at auction, and lower prices accepted. Drafts on England at sight, 48d. to 50d. one dollar ; ditto, 60 days, 491 to 501 do. France, sight, 51. to par.

Money was rather more easy, and first-class paper was going at 6 to 8 per cent. per month. The Pacific Mail Company had raised their rate of freight on dust to 11 per cent. from San Francisco to Panama. Letters from the Gulf of Mexico received in New York announced, in relation to the Tehuantepec Railroad Company's operations on the Isthmus, that the engineers had discovered two deep, well sheltered, and spacious harbours on the Pacific shores, a few miles south-east of the town of Tehuantepec. From Chagres we have accounts to the 29th, and from Panama to the 26th ult. On the 25th a de nructive fire took place on the island of Tobago, at Panama, from which the storehouses and property of the Pacific Mail Steam Ship Company were barely saved. Some 30 houses were destroyed. On the 28th the men who murdered eight persons on the Chagres river were to be shot. Letters from Havannah of the 3d inst. received at New York stato tbuf, political attairs had been quiet, although vague rumours of a revolutionary attempt had prevailed at New Orleans. Oa mercantile affairs we learn that freights, owing to numerous arrivals, had receded :—Cowes, and a market, 21.103. to 21. 15s. ; Baltic, 21. 12s. 6d. to 2/. 7s. 6d. ; Mediterranean, 2/. 12s. 6d. to 3/. Exchange on London, 7 per cent., and in some cases a trifle more. Sugar exportations had been light during the week, but buyers were numerous ; white regular, 8 to Bi. Coffee, dull at 71 to Bf. Other letters state that on the 26th ult. a serious fire occurred at San Diegos de Los Banosi; six houses were consumed. Henry Clay still remained in the city. Valparaiso accounts of February 2.5 state that the Copiapo railroad was making satisfactory progress, and the survey of the route to Santiago had been carried fifty miles with favourable results. Her Majesty's ship Daedalus had been ordered to take on board 20 months' provisions in order to carry succour to the Plover and other ships searching for Sir J. Franklin. Her Majesty's ship Portland arrived out on the Bth. Political affairs were tranquil, and little doubt existed, that in March Moritt would be elected Pre- sident. Mercantile affairs had improved, large sales had been made, and the houses appeared satisfied.

The difficulties with the French were expected to be amicably set tled. Business was dull. Letters from Hong-Kong had been received only seventeen days after their de parture from China.

The nomination of a representative to serve in Par liament for the borough of Boston in the room of the Hon. Captain Pelham, deceased, took place yesterday. Mr. D. W. Wire having retired frpm the contest, it was expected that Mr. Freshfield, the late solicitor to the Bank of England, would be returned without op position. Mr. Wire's friends, however, determined to nominate him, and to go to a poll, although with out much prospect of success. The nomination took place at 10 o'clock in the balcony of the Assembly Rooms, looking upon the market-place, in which about 500 persons were as sembled. Mr. W. H. CLARKE proposed Mr. Wire, who, he said, would shine like the meridan sun in the House of Commons. _ Mr. W. RICHARDSON seconded the nomination. Mr. F. CooKE proposed Mr. Freshfield as a fft and proper person to represent the borough in Par liament. Is was not a large loaf that the poor man ought to look to, but the means of procuring that loaf. It was no use having cheap things if there was no money to buy them with. They ought to do away with free trade, which had done no good to the poor man, and no good to any one, indeed, but the foreigner. Mr. W.H. ADAMS, in seconding the nomination, said that Boston had suffered greatly from the effects of free trade. Witness the great tide of emigration, which was sweeping away the agricultural labourers. If free trade were so popular a thing as it had been represented, how did it happen that they had not a candidate at the present election to advocate it? Mr. J. W. FRESEFIELD was received with great uproar. He said he did not present himself to them on personal grounds, but in support of a great cause, on which their prosperity and that of the country at large would depend. He had come to Boston to ad vocate the rights of British interests and of labour in opposition to foreign interests and foreign labour.— (Cheers.) The question was not between the large loaf and the small loaf, but whether the small loaf might not be too dear and the large loaf too cheap.— (Hear, hear.) The point was as to the means of paying for these two loaves. There was not a person present who more desired than himself that bread should be cheap, and that the people should have the power of obtaining it. Boston was in a state of pros perity in 1846, and even in 1849 as compared with its situation at the present moment. It had descended from bad to worse, and what would be the state of the country next year, he would ask, if nothing were done to stay the wicked progress of free trade ? It was all very well to condemn protection, and to say that it meant more than it did. He con tended, on behalf of the people of England, for jus tice. Let bread be as cheap as it could be, but let those who produced it have the means of raising it. At present the English producer was like a race horse who was overweighted and running against another who carried no weight at all. Free trade was like a rollinit ball, which from shopkeepers and tradesmen would descend upon the labourers. He had nothing to gain by becoming their representative but the loss of personal ease and comfort on their be half. If the trades of the town had suffered from free trade, what must he say of their port—that port which used to send such immense quantities of corn to a profitable market, and the shipping by which that corn was carried ? ,Granaries and every other species of property had declined in value. The land owners could not stay the evil, for if they took off the whole of their rents corn could not be grown at pre sent prices. Would it be for their interesta to with draw the landed interest from their markets—would it be for their interest that the landowners should be able to keep no servants ? He came there believing he should find no opponent. When Mr. Wire found he had no chance he wrote a letter to him (Mr Freshfield) withdrawing himself, and stating that he was no longer a candidate. He had a right to complain, therefore, of the present attempt to create ill feeling on the part of Mr. Wire's friends, who kept open the poll with out a chance of success. He condemned the recent act of Papal aggression, and promised to give his best attention to all those financial questions which might enable the farmer to furnish a larger and cheaper loaf in consequence of being relieved from those burdens which now pressed upon him. He could not forget the solemn warning which the vacancy so suddenly created presented to their eyes. He (Mr. Freshfield) was old enough to be the father of their late Member. Young men might die, but old men must die. The sudden death of their late Member must teach humility to all. It taught them, whatever they did, to do it with all their might, and to leave nothing undone which youth, health, and strength enabled them to do.—(Cheers.) The MAYOR took a show of hands, which he pro nounced to be in favour of Mr. Wire. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Fresh field, waich was appointed to commence to-morrow morning (this day). The proceedings terminated at eleven o'clock by a vote of thanks to the Mayor. A band of music and a British lion in the interest of Mr. Wire paraded the town in the course of the afternoon. Mr. Freshfield's party had no band or colours. THE POST-OFFICE. The complaints reiterated for two or three years of the utter disregard of the public safety and convenience at the Lombard-street Post-office, coupled with the re markable fact that two distinct commercial houses have lately been forced to pay twice for certain letters, owing to the scuffles which occur there, seem at last to have lad to the announcement of an alteration. It is one, however, by which the public are to be losers. The remedy demanded was that a sufficient force should be employed to receive the letters of all who might arrive within the time publicly notified for their being taken, or that, if this were not thought expedient, the parties at tending should be allowed to give in their letters as might suit the leisure or convenience of the clerks, no new corners being admitted after the striking of the clock. By this arrangement the disgraceful fights for precedence would have been avoided, while at the same time there would have been no real delay in the actual receipt of the letters at the window, since the number wh o arrive at the last moment is always small, and the scenes which have been customary have usually arisen simply from half a dozen persons kicking and elbow ing an y each oth er l es t one of them should be too late. The Post-office authorities, however, have appa rently declined to d to require thatadthoeptpuebiltihoesrhaplllaniorantdhohavfoetorere solve give up ten minutes of the time hitherto fixed as the has just been issue t latest for posting issued, paid correspondence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Burgess, omnibus conductor, No. 1,540, was summoned by Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Carden before Alderman Lawrence, upon the charge of hav ing refused to show his metal ticket. The defendant at once pleaded " guilty," and begged pardon of the Sheriff for having suffered him self to be so excited on the occasion as to be unable to act respectfully. Mr. Sheriff Carden—l was in an omnibus in Cheap side, going towards the West-end, and in consequence of a conversation which I heard between two persons, who it was evident were strangers to London, and the conductor, I interfered, and asked the gentlemen whether they did not say they wished to go to the building in Hyde-park—for if they did, the omnibus in which they were would not take them to that des tination. The conductor immediately said to me, in the most insolent manner, " What's that to you ? What right have you to interfere ? You are not the conductor, are you ?" I told him that he was not justified in telling the passengers that his omnibus was going further than it really was going, and he proceeded in a still more rude and impertinent man ner to abuse me for interfering, and said that I told a falsehood. I asked him for his metal ticket, and he turned it round and put it behind him, and told me to look at it there. Immediately afterwards, however, he got a hint from somebody that I was one of the sheriffs, and the suddenness of the change in his manner was quite surprising, for nothing could exceed his respectful solicitude about ma.— (Laughter.) He hoped I was not made uncom fortable by the little affair that bad taken place ; and he did me the favour of a call next day, when he re newed his assurances of respect and anxious care about me in such a manner that I believe I should not have appeared against him this day if the public had not some claim upon the benefit of complaint.— (Laughter.) It is peculiarly incumbent upon those who know the town to check the spirit of imposition which will soon be in full work against the visitors to London, as much as possible in every way. I could have taken out three summons against the conductor —one for refusing to show his ticket, another for in solent language, and a third for having attempted to deceive his passengers ; but his excessive politeness and regret for having gore a little too far completely overpowered me.—(Laughter.) Alderman LawaExcE—Well, defendant, do you wish to say anything ? Conductor—Nothing, Sir, except that I had no idea of being in the least uncivil to the gentleman.—(A laugh.) I am extremely sorry for the accident, but I was greatly excited. The fact is, gentlemen think nothing of walking five minutes further than our omnibus goes, and we are obliged to get all the money we can in these times, or we have no chance of keeping our places at all. That's the secret. Alderman LAWRENCE—You are fined ss. and costs. It is well for you that the complainant did not sum mon you for the two heavier offences. The conductor paid the penalty, thanked the She riff for having taken so merciful a view of the matter, and, making a most gentlemanlike bow, departed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sir James Sutherland M'Kenzie, of 4, Lower grove, Brompton, was yesterday charged before Mr. Bingham with being drunk and assaulting police constable Lees, 199 C. The constable stated that on Sunday morning, about three o'clock, he was on duty in King-street, St. James's, when he saw the defendant, who was very drunk, standing in the middle of the road, and shouting at the top of his voice that " Cardington's" Club was bankrupt. Witness went up to him and civilly told him he could not allow such a noise on a Sunday morning when the inhabitants were asleep. The defendant immediately turned round and struck him with his left hand a blow on the chin, and with his right hand laid hold of his stock and tried to throw him. Witness called for assistance, and a constable came to his aid, but the defendant was so exceedingly violent that they were obliged to send for a stretcher, and strap the defendant thereon, be fore they could convey him to the station. The defendant denied the charge in toto. Mr. BINGEIAI4,I said, that was the third time the de• fendant had appeared at this court. On the last oc casion the constable who took him in charge was much hurt, and now the constable was also hurt. He (Mr. Bingham) was afraid he had been too lenient the last time, and should now commit the defendant to the House of Correction for 21 days. TVESTMIN SER. Sir Janzes Sutherland APKenzie, who was charged at this court about three weeks ago with being drunk and damaging a cab, was again brought before the magistrate for drunkenness and disorder in Lower grove, Brompton. Sergeant Tewsby, 17 B, said, that at about five o'clock on Sunday evening he was in the Brompton road, when hearing a great shouting be immediately hastened to the spot whence it proceeded, and found a number of persons assembled. On his way thither he heard something fall heavily on the ground, which turned out to be a gun-case thrown down with so much violence as to break it open and cause its con tents to fall out. He found defendant running to and fro opposite the house in which he resided, in Lower-grove, like a wild person, and he could not get him to explain what was the matter. Defendant was drunk, and after ordering witness to go after a Great Western •cab, rushed into his house, leaving his gun-case in the road, and telling witness not to touch it. He returned again into the street in two or three minutes and conducted himself in so dis orderly a manner that, as more people were as sembling, witness was obliged to take him to the station-house. Mr. BRODERIP asked defendant what he had to say to the charge? Sir James, who held his hat before his face so as to conceal his features, was about to reply, when A gentleman, who stated that he was his solicitor, informed the magistrate that Sir James had likewise to appear that morning at Marlborough -street Police court to answer another charge,' upon which he was at large on bail, and solicited the magistrate to sus pend his decision in the present case in order to afford an opportunity of offering some explanation at Marl borough-street. So far as regarded the present charge, it might be as well to state that Mrs. Jack son, at whose house it occurred, had no desire what ever to press any charge, and therefore the only com plaint was that of the police for any disorder or breach of the peace which might have taken place in the street. Defendant, perhaps, might not have been quite so sober as at the present moment. Sir James interrupted the solicitor by declaring in an under tone that he was not drunk. Mr. BRODERIP inquired the nature of the charge at Marlborough- street. The solicitor replied that it was for some disturb ance in King-street, where defendant had chambers. Mr. BRODERIP inquired whether he had been brought up to this court before. A policeman replied in the affirmative, and having explained the nature of the charge then against him, Mr. BRODERIP asked whether he was fined upon that occasion ? A policeman replied that be was not, but discharged upon paying the amount of damage. Mr. BRODERIP observed, that what the result of the Marlborough-street case might be he of course could not say, but he must deal with the defendant for the offence committed in his district; but as he did not appear to have done any actual mischief, he thought the penalty of 10s. would meet the justice of the case. The fine was immediately paid, and defendant left in a cab for Marlborough-street. Frederick Judd, a youth of 17, who stands charged with a most desperate and murderous assault upon his aged father, was again brought before the magistrate. Upon the accused being placed in the dock, Sergeant Loom handed in the following certificate: Westminster Hospital, April 21. " I hereby certify that Richard Judd lies at present in a state of extreme danger. " LEONARD BOON, House Surgeon." Mr. BRODERIP observed, that under these circum stances it was his duty to remand the prisoner for another week. Remanded accordingly. The unfortunate father has remained in a state of unconsciousness since his first admission to the hos pital on Saturday week, consequently no opportunity has heen afforded of taking any statement, which in the result of a fatal termination Might be hereafter used against the accused. Mr. Broderip has made repeated inquiries upon the subject of the poor man's condition, with a view of proceeding to the hospital, and even remained some time beyond his ordinary hour of departure yes terday, but as the wounded man still remained in sensible a visit would have been completely fruitless. LAMBETH. Yesterday an application was made to Mr. Elliott on behalf of a Scotch gentleman, whose brother hes been missing since the 31st of January last, for an order or authority to get possession of a quantity of luggage belonging to the missing man, at the Inland Revenue -office in Broad-street, and the York Hotel in the Waterloo road. From the statement of the applicant it appeared that the missing gentleman, who had been stopping at the York Hotel, had ex hibited symptoms of slight insanity on the day before mentioned, and drove off in a cab, taking some of his luggage with him. It also appeared that he got into a second cab, l eav i ng hi s l u ggage in the first, and since that time he had not been heard of, though every effort had been made to trace him. The cab man in whose vehicle the property had been left had very properly taken it to the Inland Revenue-office ; and the object of the application was that of obtain ing from his Worship an order to have that pro perty delivered up to the brother of the missing gentleman. FATAL POISONING CASE. NEWCASTLE, SATURDAY EvEsiNd.--Extraordinary interest has been excited in the town of Newcastle upon-Tyne, and throughout the whole of that popu lous district, by a case which appears to resemble, in some of its features, at least, the tragedy in which Tawell, the Quaker, was the principal actor. The whole of the facts were brought out befofe a coroner's inquest, held a few days ago, and on Saturday, before the borough magistrates; but as the evidence is of great length, and much of it very irrelevant, it seems desirable to present, in a more compendious form, the leading facts in this serious and somewhat mysterious case. The deceased's na me i s Eli za b et h A n d erson, a widow, about 34 years of age, who resided with a Mrs. Wilde, in West Blandford-street, Newcastle. She generally passed as Mrs. Jenkins, the wife of Henry Jenkins, a wholesale and retail confectioner, in Dean-street, a man of substance, who had cohabited with her since her husband's death. On Wednesday morning he was at her lodgings, but what then trans pired between them is not known. He left about 12 o'clock, and about two in the afternoon Mr. C. Wild called on a neighbour, who, on going up-stairs, found that Elizabeth Anderson was lying in the bed quite dead, with her clothes upon her. There was nothing in the bed room out of which the deceased could have drunk but a glass of water, and in the sitting-room adjoining, there was also a glass which appeared to have con tained porter. Mr. Boyd, a surgeon, living in Marl borough-crescent, adjoining, and Mr. Jenkins, were immediately sent for, and both shortly afterwards arrived. On Mr. Boyd making inquiries of Mrs. Wilde, she stated that the decased bad only taken something to eat and a little porter, and had then, according to her usual custom, gone to lie down, from which time nothing more was seen of her till she was found dead. Mr. Boyd tasted the water and the por ter, but detected no poison in either. After he had got home Mr. Jenkins went to him and asked what steps should be taken to get the deceased buried,when he told him that a certificate as to the cause of death was necessary ; but that, under the circumstances, he declined to give it, at the same time recommending him to go to the registrar, explain the circumstances, and say that he (Mr. Boyd) thought she had died of disease of the heart. Mrs. kVilde subsequently waited on him, and afterwards Jenkins again, and at last he gave him a certificate that she had died of disease of the heart, having attended her about twelve months previous for symptoms of that disease. In the evening Mrs. Wilde called at the West gate police station with the certificate, and requested Inspector Little to give her a line as to her character, that she might present it to the registrar ; but that officer, on hearing the particulars, informed her that he should report the matter to the coroner, and take his opinion upon it. Accordingly, on Friday, an in quest was held at the Marquis of Blandford Inn, be fore J. G. Stoker, Esq., and in the afternoon a post mortem examination of the body was made by Mr. Carr and Mr. Boyd, both of whom declared that the deceased had been poisoned by having taken, or hav ing bad administered to her, a large quantity of essen tial oil of almonds ; and they considered that, from the quantity taken, death must have ensued almost immediately, and that it would have been barely pos sible fur her to have walked from the sitting-room to the bedroom after taking it. They also stated that it was quite impossible that she could have destroyed or secreted a vessel which contained the poison after she had taken it ; that essential oil of almonds was not used or sold medicinally, but was principally used by confectioners and cordial makers to give a flavour to the goods which they sell. The CORONER, in adjourning the inquest to Wed nesday, the 23d instant, said the case was one of a most extraordinary nature, and after the distinct evidence of the surgeon there were many suspicious circumstances connected with it. It was clear that the deceased could not have taken the poison while in the bed, or the bottle must have been found, and it was a remarkable circumstance that no bottle or ves sel had been discovered near the place. He would like to take time to consider what they should do with Mrs. Wilde, or what other steps they should take to elicit the truth. Every effort has since been made by the police to throw light on the suspicious affair, and the stopper of a glass bottle has been found in the ash-pit adjoining Wilde's house, which, on being examined, proved to be strongly impregnated with the essential oil of al monds. Other facts and circumstances having come to the knowledge of the police, they (acting under the orders of their superiors) apprehended Jenkins, whilst enjoying his evening glass, at the Shakspere Inn, on Friday night, and Mrs. Wilde, on Satur day forenoon, and they were brought before the magistrate, at their usual sitting on Saturday. Mr. Inspector Little asked for a remand till after the inquest, which was granted. The evidence in possession of the police has not transpired; but it appears that on the day after the death of the deceased, the coroner called at Mrs. Wilde's house, and finding that she had a certificate from a medical man, declaring the cause of death to be disease of the heart, informed her that it would not be necessary to hold an inquest. Just as he left the house, Jenkins came in, and on being informed by Mrs. Wilde of what the coroner had said, one of them was overheard by the mother of the deceased (who was in the house) to say, " There is no fear ; it is all right." The prisoner Jenkins was represented by Mr. George Foster, a solicitor, and appeared much af fected by the painful circumstances in which he is placed. They both protested their innocence, and were committed to the gaol—the ll:rich refusing an application to allow Mr. Foster to have an interview with his client. The unfortunate woman was lately in London with Jenkins, and it appears has left a box at her lodgings there. Information has been given to the metropoli tan police to seize the box, as it is expected some letters will be found from Jenkins, as he returned almost immediately, and she remained several weeks. Se veral rumours are afloat of a criminatory nature, but it would be unfair to the accused to publish these whilst the case is under investigation. NEW ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA VIA NICARAGUA. (From the New York Herald.) The new route to San Francisco, via Nicaragua, it is now settled will be open and in complete operation by the Ist day of July next. Public attention has often been called to this route by the press; but the company to whom belongs the right of way through Nicaragua, have never, until now, thought proper to communicate any of their proceedings. They preferred to remove all obstacles to the successful and speedy transit be tween the oceans, and when reacly to begin transporting passengers and freight, than to boast of what had been done by them. Mr. Vanderbilt a few weeks since returned from Nica ragua, whither he went to establish a line across that isthmus. The company's arrangements are now com pleted, and on the Ist day of July next, such of our citiv.-tns as desire, either to go to or return from San Fran cisco, will be able to select this route, if they please with the confidence that they will reach their place of desti naaion in as speedy a manner as possible. The line, we und.-rstand, is made up for the present, as follows:--Mr. Vanderbilt is to run a line of steamers, of the first class (among which is the celebrated Pro metheus), between New York and San Juan de Nicara gua. From the latter place the passengers will go in steamboats constructed for the purpose up the river San Juan to the lake, thence across the lake to Virgin Bay, and thence by a good road built by the company to San Juan del Stir, on the Pacific, a distance of 12 miles and 30 chains. Thus the entire land transit between New York and California will be reduced to the short space of 12 miles. On the Pacific Ocean our enterprising citizen, Mr. William H. Brown, has entered into a contract to run between San Juan del Sur and San Francisco the steamers Pacific, Captain Bailey, and the Independence, both of which are now on their way, and one now build ing, and to be shortly completed to be called the San Francisco. These steamers are all new, and two of them have already earned reputations for speed second only to that of the Prometheus. Mr. Vanderbilt is also building a new steamer for this line at the yard of Mr. J. Simon son, and we have reason to believe that ere long we shall have a weekly line between New York and San Francisco, vial Nicaugna. The more routes we may have to the Pacific the better it will be for the public. There is nothing like com petition in this as in all other business. Numerous com plaints have been made by travellers of the inconve niences to which they are subjected in going to and re turning from California, which competition will no doubt remedy. We therefore rejoice at the prospect of soon having another line in operation between New York and our new State on the Pacific. TREATMENT OF THE SWISS REFUGEES F s ß u E ig N se C g H ives Aß.U th T e H f o ol:o l w T in l g ES extract The ur BY YCorier THE of a dispatch from the Swiss charge d'affaires at Paris to the Federal Council of Switzerland, dated the 9th inct. : " This morning, four refugees coming from Switzer land have presented themselves at the Legation, and complained that they have been made to travel on foot from Mulhouse to Tontere by Besancon, while their baggage was sent on by the roulage. Tbey stated that they were treated very harshly all the way, accom panied by the gendarmerie for three-quarters of a league from Mulhouse., and that some of them only received 30, others 50 centimes per league. I immediately called upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs to remonstrate in my turn against such proceedings. The Minister an swered that he was extremely annoyed at them, and that ho would not fail to desire his colleague of the In ter i t e r r a t n o s p t o r r a t n s t m h i e t this g y e e e r s y i day, a b r y r i a t e 4 l e e s g , r a a p s h , h t a n d e order agreed between us.

They him I In reply to a question from the magistrate as to whether the police had been consulted or employed in discovering the missing man, Inspector Roger said that the police of the L divi sion had been endeavouring to trace the unfortunate man, and though they had sent a description of his person, which was rendered somewhat remarkable from his having lost his left arm, they had not been able to hear the slightest tidings of him. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked, that as far as regarded the property spoken of, he felt satisfied that the Commis• sionerz of Inland Revenue and the landlord of the York Hotel would deliver up the property upon a proper representation being made to them, without the necessity of any order from him. John Mummery, a man who has up to the present time stood remanded, was fully committed for trial on a charge of abstracting a quantity of coals from the coal wharf of Mr. Charles J. Dunham, near the Surrey Canal, Camberwell, and which adjoins the prisoner's premises. THAMES. Yesterday William Child, aged 19, a well-dressed young man, whose friends are most respectably con nected, and who has only recently been appointed an officer in the Custom-house, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a battle of wine and 23 cheroots from the baggage warehouse in the East India Docks. Mr. YARDLEY said it was a very serious charge against the prisoner, and from the position he held in the Customs he could not think of dealing with the case summarily. He should remand the prisoner until Wednesday next, in order to ascertain the course the Custom-house authorities intended to pursue in the matter. The prisoner—l hope you will take bail, Sir. Mr. YARDLEY—I have no objection ; you must find two good sureties in 401. each, and yourself in 801. SOUTH IVA Rl{. Yesterday William Conolly, a well-dressed man, member of the swell mob, was placed at the bar be • fore Mr. A'BeckeV - , charged with assaulting and wounding Charles Percival in so violent a manner that serious apprehensions were ente'tained for his life. Mr. Wontner, who attended on the part of the pro secution, stated that Mr. Percival was at present in such a precarious condition that he was confined to his house and was compelled to have two medical men attending upon him. The short facts were these : Some days since Mr. Percival had occasion to ap pear at that court against a woman who was co habiting with the prisoner, and who was convicted, owing to the evidence adduced against her. This circumstance seemed to have excited a feeling of re venge in the breast of the prisoner, and a few evenings since as Mr. Percival was walking along Newington causeway, he was met by bis assailant, who taunted him with having been the means of having the woman punished. Mr. Percival, however, evinced no dispo tion to have an altercation on the subject, and was proceeding on his way, when his assailant, who had an umbrella in his hand, thrust the end of it with such violence into his mouth as to displace two of his teeth, and the point penetrated to his throat, severely wounding it, and causing a hemorrhage which was with difficulty suppressed. The prisoner, on finding the serious nature of the injuries he had inflicted, es caped at the time, end abandoned his usual haunts, but by the vigilance of the police, to whom his person and character were well known, he was taken into custody. Mr. Wontner added, that as it was a matter of doubt whether the injured man would recover, the object of his application was that the prisoner should be remanded until the result of his furious attack on Mr. Percival was ascertained. Mr. Thomas Percival, the brother of the prosecu tor, was called, and stated that he was at present con sidered by his family in such danger, that it was im possible to say how the case would terminate ; that inflammation to a considerable extent existed in the throat, and the family were compelled to call in the aid of two medical men. The witness produced a certificate describing that his brother was labouring under an abscess of the throat, the result of injuries inflicted on that organ, and that he was perfectly in capable of attending the examination. Mr. A'BECKETT remarked that the certificate did not specify that the patient was in danger, although it represented that he was unable to attend at that court, and that, therefore, as the prisoner had made applica tion to be bailed he was bound to comply with it, un less it was shown by a medical certificate that the person upon whom the alleged violence was inflicted was considered to be in danger. The Magistrate then adjudged the prisoner to enter into his own recogniaances in the sum of 801., and find two sureties of 401., and to give twenty four hours' notice of bail. That, in the interval, if evidence were produced that the prosecutor's life was considered in danger bail would of course be re jected. The prisoner, who said he would reserve his de fence, was remanded. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of Franoo nn April 17 s - ASSETS. FAT A v INTELLTC3-ENC"r_ Commander Robert Coote (1847) has been ap painted to the command of the Volcano steam-vessel, on the coast of Africa, vice Rivers, who, strange to say, invalided immediately after reaching the coast. Commander Coote entered the navy in 1833, passed his examination in 1840, served three years and a half as a mate before he was promoted from the royal yacht, and as a lieutenant served in the Cyclops and Vulture steam-frigates. Commander Thomas Abel Brummage Spratt (1849), to commissio❑ the Spitfire steam-vessel, at Malta, and to command that vessel in continuing the surveys in the Mediterranean which have hitherto been conducted by Captain Graves. By this appointment the expense of surveying in the Mediterranean will be very much reduced, inas much as the service will now be performed by a com mander's staff, with a limited crew. Commander Spratt is the son of one of the most gallant officers in the navy—Retired Commander James Spratt (who ought to have been an admiral). The son entered the navy in 1827, passed his examination in 1835, and having served in the surveying service of the Me diterranean in the Beacon and Mastiff, under Captain Graves, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1841. O'Byrne, in his Naval Biography, has the fol lowing notice of this officer :—" On the 27th October, 1837, he plunged overboard from the Beacon, and at great risk saved the life of a marine, Samuel Turner, who, while scraping the side of the ship, had accidentally fallen into the sea. In a public letter to the Commander-in-Chief, Captain Graves, after detailing this occurrence, says, ' His (Mr. Spratt's) conduct with me during a servitude of up wards of five years, having been invariably most ex emplary, and his being also most indefatigable and attentive, as well as a valuable assistant in the par ticular service in which we are employed will, I trust, lead you to consider the case worthy of the consideration of my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty.' On the occasion of Mr. Spratt's advance ment to the rank of lieutenant, Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, then private secretary to Lord Hadding ton, observes, in a note addressed to his father, Com mander Spratt, His Lordship directs me to make known to you the great satisfaction it has afforded him to recommend to the Board for this promotion a young officer so highly spoken of as your son has been, both by Captain Beaufort, hydrographer of the Admiralty, and Captain Graves.' Your eldest son,' writes the present Sir William Parker, in 1846, now five years a lieutenant in the surveying service, stands decidedly high in that branch of his profession.' From March 1, 1847, until April, 1848, Mr. Spratt served in the Volage, 22, surveying vessel, again in the Mediterranean. In 1838, the lieutenant communicated to the Geographical zsociety some Remarks on the Supposed Situation of Minos and Nisa3l;' and in 1846 he published a volume of Travels in Ancient Lycia.' " Lieutenant Gabriel - Johnston (1841), late First Lieutenant of the Volage with Captain Graves i❑ sur veying the Mediterranean, has been appointed to the Spitfire, as also Lieutenant A. L. Mansell (1841). Master—John Stokes (1846), to the Spitfire. Second Master—E. IV. Brooker (1849), to the Spitfire. Clerk in Charge—Robert T. Baynes (1846), to the Spitfire. Assistant-Engineers—William Buchan, E. R. Dutton, J. W. Husbands, Thomas F. Simmons, and William Cockshot, to the Caradoc steam-packet, Woolwich. Midshipman—G. R. Wilkinson, to the Spitfire.

This day the Aurora will be taken into the same dock, to be broken up. The work in the sailmakers' branch in Davenport Dockyard having fallen short, their Lordships have ordered the establishment to be reduced to 30 men and 4 apprentices. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—The Turkish frigate Feiji Bahri (skimmer of the sea), 450-horse power, Captain Mustafa Pacha, from Constantinople, is shortly expected either at Falmouth or at this port, with goods for the Industrial Exhibition.
