COMMANDER PULLEN'S BOAT EXPEDITION, The following are extracts from a letter of much more recent date than the interesting narration we published a short time since, of the proceedings of Commander Pullen's party, in the Hudson's Bay Company's territories of North America. It is from the same gallant officer, Lieutenant W. H. Hooper, and is addressed to his father, in the City : June 27, 1850. My dear Father,—l have not time now to detail at length our proceedings, but can merely say that we endured a sufficiency of discomfort and some danger, and should, without our customary caution, have been " scooppered" by the E'quimaux, with whom we had considerable trouble and a slight brush. At the end of August we entered Mackenzie River, and in a few days reached a post of the Hud son's Bay Company, on the Peel (a branch of the former river). Here Mr. Pullen left me with half the party to winter, himself proceeding with the rest to Fort Simpson, he head-quarters of the district on the Mackenzie. In less than a fortnight I found that my party could not be sustained at Peel's River, and therefore set off after Mr. Pullen, but was only able to reach Fort Norman (the post below Fort Simpson), where I decided to remain, having had one man frostbitten on the journey. The party and myself went across to Bear Lake, and there wintered, subsisting on fish and water. At the breaking up of the ice Dr. Rae came down from Fort Simpson, and I set off for Fort Simp son with the party, being soon followed by that gentleman (a most delightful man). 0o the 20th of this month we started from Fort Simpson with the outward goods (i. e. furs), and were proceeding on our way to the sea, there to embark in the company's ship, and return to England, when we encountered— two days since—a canoe, containing Admiralty dis patches, among which was your letter ; and now I can show you why my time for writing is brief. We are off to the coast again to look after poor Sir John Franklin, of whom, it is needless to say, we have seen no trace ; so that, instead of returning home next October and relating our proceedings in the good cause, I shall, in a few days, be off again to the sea, to assist in another search—and may God grant not again un successfully—and shall not see you until October, 1851, when, please God, we shall return to England in the company a annual ship from York Factory, in Hudson's Bay. We are now in Great Slave Lake, accompanying the outward boats to a fort near, whence, having obtained provisions for our voyage, we return to Fort Simpson, hasten our preparations, and be off to the sea down the Mackenzie as fast as we can. This slight sketch will also explain to you the elegant irregularity and crinkum-crankum style of my epistle, which is being indited in the boat while pulling through the Great Slave Lake. Your letter of the 24th of January arrived in Mr. Barrow's letter to Captain Pullen, and sure I am that if that gentlemen could have witnessed my joyful emotions on the occasion of its receipt he would need no more eloquent expression of thanks for his favour. The receipt of the (to me) most ardently desired gifts, viz., your letter and the news of my promotion in May, 1849—the latter, by the bye, conveyed by their Lordships in a message of satisfaction at my con duct before leaving the Plover. • • • As for this journey, I must tell you plainly that, however grieving it is to be disappointed of returning home, yet I am, nevertheless, delighted to go again, and think that we do not hopelessly undertake another search, since our intended direction is con sidered the most probable channel for finding the mis sing ships or crews. We go down the Mackenzie, along the coast eastward to Port Bathurst, and thence strike across to Wollaston or Ihnks's Land. The season will, of course, much influence our proceed ings, but we shall probably return up the hitherto un explored river which runs into the Arctic Ocean frogs Liverpool Bay, between the Coppermine and Mac kenzie. I shall write to Colonel Sabine if I can. I wish you would call upon him and give my respectful re membrance of his kind courtesy to me. Say that we have got the magnetic dip along the coast, and that the Fox goes with us on our second trip, and he may rest assured I will use my best endeavour to obtain complete observations wherever possible. You might also allude to my great grief at the accident which befel the instrument in May, 1848, of which I did not before tell you, but that I have endeavoured to correct its effect as much as possible by obtaining numerous sets with the instrument in every mode I can think of, and noting as fully as I could any def.ct or otherwise that I observed. At k ort Simpson Captain Pullen ' as well as myself, took numerous sets, and I think that that position will serve as a base, particularly as we shall probably wioter there in 1850 and 1851. When at Bear Lake I made such observations on the aurora borealis (which was there magnificent) as was possible, and have formed a theory on it which I Ahall submit to him either now or when we reach England. Unfortunately, I had not a single instru ment, so could not observe the influence of the phe nomenon upon the magnet, as it is asserted to have, but which I do not think. I am much grieved to learn of the death of pcor Sheddon, the owner of the Nancy Dawson yacht; his kindness and assistance to us cannot be sufficiently expressed. Captain Pullen is very good and very kind. lam as happy with him as I could be with almost any one ; he is, I believe, a truly religious man • has seen much and suffered much ; his real goodness of heart is evident in his actions and fatherly care of those placed under his charge ; and I long to see him put a crown instead of a star over his anchor. Captain Moore does not appear to have been promoted. I should like to see him get his step very much. _ _ As for my health I never was better, I think, in my life than I have been since I left you, and par ticularly since I wintered in this country. The cold I feel but litte, and am now not the least hardy of the lot and have never had any illness. We shall not have many delicacies in our trip, pemmican and dry reindeer flesh being our only food (the latter having from its particularly inviting qualities been nick-named "waistcoat pieces ' by our boys), and as much of the pure element to imbibe as we please. But do not you tbink that this will break my heart. I have been nearly one winter with nothing but herrings, and if I cannot go a summer in a rather improved condition, I ought to be anywhere but here, and so say we all. When we return from the sea the party will probably winter at Bear Lake. I shall, most probably, be at Fort Simpson • "' • I place implicit con fidence in my gallant commander's advice and intentions. This, as you may suppose, is a very com fortable state of affairs, and when I add that our men are good, hard-working chaps, and evidently well satisfied with their captain, whota we'd follow to the death, and apparently also with me, I think that we may be considered a united and devoted (as we have been called "a gallant") little band. So hurrah! for the coast once more, and then to our loved homes. Friday, 28th—We have to-day been stopped by the ice in Slave Lake, and are going to turn back to Fort Simpson at once, so I have no time to say much more. Ido not think that you will get another let ter or even news of us until April, 1851—if so early —as there is no other mail till December next. Believe me, &0., %VILLIAM HULLS HOOFER. DAVIS' STRAITS WHALE FISHERY ABERDEEN, MONDAY.—Yesterday afternoon our two whalers, the Pacific and the St. Andrew's, arrived here from Davis' Straits. They report a very un favourable season and a very unsuccessful fishery. In the month of July seven vessels got beset in the ice, and were so closely packed that it was for a time concluded that they would have to winter in the Arctic regions. Having provisions only for a single voyage, the idea of passing the winter there was a terrible thought. A consultation was, therefore, held amongst the commanders, and it was agreed that it should be put to the men whether any of them, and how many, would volunteer to remain in each ship, while the others would make the best of their way to open water, and disperse themselves among the ships that were clear of the ice. From twelve to fourteen men volunteered to remain in each ship, it being considered that that number would be sufficient to manage her ; but if the provisions would have served for more through the winter, there would have been no di ffi culty in , getting ad ditional volunteers. The Jane, of Bo ness, was the nearest ship in the open water, and towards that vessel 150 men proceeded, the parting fro m their comrades being, in many instances, of a very affe ct i ng charac ter. The whole of these men were received on board the Jane, and Captain Walker proceeded without loss of time to apportion them among other vessels. This was done in the course of a few days, but soon after indications appeared of the ice giving way, and, to the gratification of all, it speedily brok e u p . The ice bound whalers were then soon at liberty, and l ost no time in gathering their men and proceeding with the fishery. The breaking up of the ice, however, .had the e ff ect of making the fish very bhy, an d it bein g found impossible to get through Melville Bay to the west land, few whales were killed. The ice continued open up to the time the Pacific and St. Andrew's left for borne on the sth instant ; but the weather had been so stormy that most of the other h shipste high were l and. Nothing w theco country t r seen to of theh takeshelter sships under s composing the expeditio n i n searc h o f Si r J o hn Frank lin since the dates menti o n e d i n C omm ander For syth, s dispatch ; but it is the opinion of those in these whalers, ers, who are able from l ong ex p er ience in the Arctic regions toj udge that the br ea king up of the ice and clearance of Lancaster Sound would open a passage round Cape Reilly, where the remains of Sir John Franklin's encampment were found, and up Wellington Channel. If so, then it may be concluded that this channel will be well explored whatever may be the result. Tne following is a list of the fishery ABERDEEN. The Pacific, 3 fish, Ist of October.

UNROLLING OF AN EGYPTIAN MUMMY IN THE BELFAST MUSEUM. We announced in our last (says the Banner of Ulster), that the mummy procured by Sir J. Emer son Tennent in the year 1845, and kindly forwarded by him to this town, was to be unrolled in the museum of the Belfast Natural History Society on Thursday. The examination was looked forward to with considerable interest, a royal name occurring in the inscription on the sarcophagus, and the hierogly phics fixing the date of the individual as connected with the twelfth Egyptian dynasty. The sarcophagus, hich is in a state of perfect preservation, was obtained at Thebes —once "the city of a hundred gates," the site of edifices without a parallel in the world—now a heap of ruins—a vast necropolis of yawning pits and tombs, in which it is calculated there are from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 mummied bodies. Thursday, at one o'clock, the members of the Natural History and Philosophical Society, with a number of friends, assembled in the museum, for the purpose of witnessing the operation of unrolling. Those present having taken their seats, the seals of the case, which was placed on a table elevated in the centre of the large room on the second floor, were re moved by Dr. Grattan, who, assisted by Dr. Carlyle, Dr. Stevelly, and Mr. Getty, at once proceeded to uncover the mummy. The case, which was enclosed in a sarcophagus of wood, about two and a half inches in thickness, and ornamented with an immense variety of hieroglyphics, representing figures of deities, and their gifts, bore a large number of inscriptions, the name of the deceased, her gods, her departing addresses and appeals, &o. It was composed of laths, covered with canvass, and a layer of some adhesive compound. The hieroglyphics, both on the outside and inside, were as legible as if the paint had been laid on a few months ago. No sooner had the cover ing been taken off than it was discovered that the case must have been opened before, and that some rude hand, probably of a plundering Arab, had cut through to the face the thick bandaging which wrapped the head of the mummy, and that the swathing bands, which extended in two or three piles from head to foot, had been carelessly bundled up and lodged beside the shoulders. A small piece of gilt wood, rounded, and symbolical of Eternity, was found on the breast of the individual ; a large collection of green beads, apparently of metal, was discovered at the head, and three little gilt gods, and three gilt plates were taken, the former from the right side of the body, and the latter from the left. The unrolling occupied nearly two hours. The bandages were of linen, the greater number being about three yards in length, and four inches in breadth, and having insertion and fringe at one end. They were of various texture—some spe cimens about the chest as fine as muslin—and in a state of remarkable preservation. During the progress of the unrolling several pieces of linen taken from the shoulder of the mummy served, by various stamped inscriptions, to identify the individual with the coffin, and to point out her parentage, age, and circum stances. Before the mummy had been completely uncovered, it was discovered that not a tissue of the body hung together—that the entire flesh, and almost all the bones, were completely pul verised ; and when the last folds were removed little else than a heap of dust remained. The linen was not much injured, the sarcophagus and case were per fect, the hieroglyphics were apparently fresh, even the gods were safe ; but the Scripture truth, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return," was unmistake ably apparent in the totally decayed members of the individual itself. Without touching on the infor mation to be communicated on Wednesday by Dr. Hineks, we believe we are correct in stating that the result of the examination will show that the individual was of royal extraction—a princess, about forty years of age, 4 feet 8 inches in height, and partly deformed ; that the body was preserved with bitumen, and is at least 3,400 years old—the oldest, with one exception, ever unrolled.

PEAT CHARCOAL. decency osshai tt nevvolmvw: erueesenonifs atwSiaayynhri We are now firm believers in the wonderful pro perties of peat- charcoal as a deodoriser ; and we should be delighted to have it tested in our own city, which, in despite of its title " beautiful," is one of the dirtiest and nastiest in Europe. Verily we don't believe there is in the wide world, civilized or savage, a city or what as m t a:t h n l s e tlt e o i f hthn ut haeg i tey l very dy y iteht ssaneecroynlre wfinoon abiocrneanei rvoutraged,teaithld:iseaze s ha me a a d m; earlysi town in which health is so wantonly endangered or conditiony of ur seainntßa there reu t d) rw h it ea s hnrs te c ec o oa i a f t t they o nd, t ot eas C Aotvl o rlwelea r na k etcytht . pos sibilityal of cure ? Can nothing be done to guard health against disease engendered by noxious geses, and to protect decency from daily, nightly, hourly outrage ? We feel convinced that modern science has placed at our disposal a valuable purifying agent, which is capable of being turned to wonderful account, in a healthful, moral, and economic point of view. We believe that peat-charcoal is this purifying agent. Curiosity induced us to pay a visit to the Cork Workhouse on Saturday last ; and we must confess we felt emszed how any man, or any set of men, could have been so hoodwinked, blinded, we might add besotted, as to have selected such a site for such an institution. It is utterly destitute of the moans of drainage; and, therefore. the accumulated refuse of 4,000 people has nu means of escape through the aid of water or sewerage. Therefore, every week the penalty is paid for the original sin of selection in the partial removal from the premises of that which is noxious and destructive to health. Tnis operation was being proceeded with as we entered ; and we can assert that the atmosphere was literally poisoned; and that the whole space from the entrance-gate to the board-room, including that place on which the indus trial department stands, and where many hundreds were at work, was filled with the most noxious ex halations, which must be the prolific source of the most malignant diseases. There is also another tank, or trap, in the very heart of the main build ing ; and this cannot be touched without the most disgusting results. We had been just after reading a letter which has been in type some days, but which may be seen in this day's paper, bearing the signa ture " A Citizen," on the subject of Peat Charcoal ; and we were then forcibly struck by the necessity which existed for the application of some purifying agent, some deodorising process, for the purpose of endeavouring to remedy the horrid grievance which we then witnessed, and which was so disgustingly manifest to our own senses. We could not therefore avoid speaking to the intelligent master on the sub ject; and, in the course of conversation, he told us quite sufficient to impress us with a full belief in the value of peat charcoal as a deodoriser. We well know the subject is an unpleasant one, and is liable to shock many. But really we think there is ten times more indelicacy in quietly enduring the filth and the abomination of our streets ; and, therefore, we feel we should be guilty of a crime if we did not put this matter before the public. The master told us that he prepared some turf by baking, so as to convert it into peat charcoal, which he had then ground into powder; and that he himself mixed a portion of this powder in a vessel full of the noxious matter, and that almost instantaneously it deprived it of all odour, so that any person coming into the room would have failed to perceive its presence. Another gentleman told us of a somewhat similar experiment, though on a larger scale, where the result was exactly similar. Surely, then, we thought, here is an agent which it is the duty of the guardians to avail themselves of, and which can alone remedy the original evil of locality. Here is no possibility of drainage, no possi bility of establishing a sufficient sewerage , and here every week—perhaps oftener—these horrid reser voirs are opened, and their contents rendering the air malignant, and destructive to health. Peat charcoal is in this case the only possible remedy. In the first place, it would thoroughly deodorise, or deprive of all smell, offensive or otherwise; and, in the next, it would convert the contents of those reservoirs into a valuable fertilising agent, the sale of which would go far towards defraying the cost of the institution, and proportionately diminish the burden of the heavily taxed rate-payers of the union. And we therefore re solved to put the matter before the public without false delicacy or disguise. We have frequently urged upon the local authori ties the necessity of a proper city sewerage; and the answer has always been its difficulty, its expense, its consequent taxation. We admit the fairness of the excuse ; but we insist that something must be done in the matter. Our correspondent suggests that Mr. Rogers be invited by the authorities "to enlighten them on the virtues and uses of peat charcoal ;" and really we don't think the advice a bad one—on the contrary, we think it quite the opposite. The Wide Street Commissioners expressed themselves ready to give 10/. for information on the subject of "convert ing the manure of the city to valuable purposes." Why then not bear Mr. Rogers on the subject ? Hear what he has to say; ask him to give proof that this peat charcoal is a purifying agent, and a con verter of noxious into inoffensive and fertilising mat ter; test him in every possible way, through the aid of scientific and practical men—and if this agent be proved valuable, then, in the name of humanity that is afflicted, in the name of decency that is outraged, contrive some means of introducing it not only into your great public establishments, but into the dwell ings of the poor, where filth is the natural parent of disease and death.—Cork Examiner. Yesterday the superintendent of the Rigged SQhool of Spitalfields attended, anal informed the Aldermen that the girl had been a. pupil in that institution, and had deserted it from hatrHl of work. The girl said that she had stolen the key of the room and given it to another girl, who stole the pro perty, and that she would not go back. Alderman GH3BB said he would try a little private imprisonment in the case, and after a nit.nth he hoped to find the girl improved. THE HALL OF COMMERCE Murr TRANSACTION.— A gentleman applied on Wednesday to Alderman Gibbs for information in what mariner to recover the sum of 2/. 103., which he had got rid of in the fol lowing way : Applicant went to the Hall of Commerce, and being in want of a muff he bargained for one which he was assured was made of sable, and for which he was asked 2/. 103, As he was not a judge of such articles, he stipulated with the tradesman that if the muff did not satisfy the taste of a person to whom he intended to show it, the money should be returned ; and he pail the amount and took it away with him, Upon putting the muff into the hands of the party who was to decide on its value, the purchaser was at once informed that his bargain, instead of being the undoubted sable which it had been represented to be, was the painted skin of an American rabbit, and not worth much more than was generally given for the hide of the English quadruped of the same name. When he found that the imposition was one of so gross a nature he hastened back to the dealer in " sable muffs," and putting down the commodity upon the counter de manded his money. The muffinan affected to be much surprised at the second visit of his customer, and refused to return the money, or to have anything more to do with the skin, and it was therefore thought right to prevent the former from making any more traffic of the kind. Alderman GIBBS, who did not like such a way of making muffs either of rabbit skins or gentlemen, sent over to the Hall of Commerce one of the Man sion-house officers with a short private communica tion, the consequence of which was, that the sum paid for the "sable" was politely returned to the gentleman to whom it had been insolently refused a little before. Yesterday the officer informed Alderman Gibbs that the message had been effective, and of course the Alderman issued no further directions on the subject of " making snuffs." JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

THE HAGUE OCT. 31.—The Staats Courant of this day publishes the address of the Second Chamber of the States General in reply to the speech from the Throne at the opening of the present session. It was presented by a deputation on Saturday last. His Majesty replied as follows : " The sentiments which this address expresses are highly prized by me. So desirable an under standing between the Government and the repre sentatives of the people promises a happy accom plishment of the important task which devolves upon both. You afford the well-grounded hope that the interests of the fatherland will be powerfully advanced by your unanimous co-operation. From a report presented to the King by the Mi lister of Marine, on the colonies, it appears that there are now, in the Island of Java, 434,093 indigent families, who are exclusively occupied in the cultiva tion of coffee ; 165,092 in that of sugar ; and 181,329 in that of indigo ; making a total of 786,514 families. Allowing only four labourers to each family, and in most families there are more, we find that the number of labourers is at 3,146,054—a cipher which may give us some idea of the great extent of the cultiva tion of these three products in the Island of Java.— Handelsblad.

SOUTHWARK COURT LEET. Mr. Payne, the new high-steward of Southwark, held on Tuesday the first Court Leet since his ap pointment. It was held at the Town-hall. On the old jurors' names being called, according to custom, to make their presentments of offences which had occurred during the past year, The STEWARD said, that although he should receive their presentments with all the respect that was due to them, and with all the thanks they were entitled to for the pains they had taken in the execution of their office, he felt bound to tell them that he feared the Court could not carry their presentments into effect. It appeared to him that the proceedings of the Court had been in error for some years past, in allowing the jury who had been sworn the previous year to make presentments of offences committed during a whole twelvemonth subsequent to their being sworn. This practice, he was of opinion, was not warranted by law, and was contrary to the decision of the supe rior courts. The jury at the leet was like the grand jury at the sessions or assizes ; they might pr esen t any offence that had occurred previously to or during their sitting, but they had no prospective power ; and as soon as the courts broke up the duties of the jury were at an end. It would be competent, however, for the jury who were then about to be sworn to pre sent the offences of the past year if evidence were given them upon the subject, and the Court would then have an authority to levy the amercements which might be inflicted. The Foreman thanked the Steward for the infor mation, which was entirely new to them, and said the jury were all of opinion that the examination of weights and measures by them during the year was quite unnecessary, as there were inspectors appointed by Act of Parliament to perform that duty. The STEWARD said that there were many other matters which would properly come under the notice of the jury for presentment, and it was most desirable that the utility of those ancient institutions s'iould not be impaired ; for they had also a power, as a grand jury, to present all criminal offences, should it be ever necessary to do so ; and he could not help saying that he thought Sir George Grey never en titled himself more to the confidence of the public than when he withdrew from the last Parliament a Bill which proposed to abolish investigations by grand juries, and to give power to a single magistrate, on his own individusl opinion, to place any man in the felon's dock for trial, a power which he (Mr. Payne) thought could not be regarded with too much jealousy by the community. A jury of 23 was then chosen and sworn, instead of 31, the number of the previous year, an alteration which elicited the highest satisfaction, as being quite sufficient for the purpose. The Court adjourned to Friday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO US E. Ellen Olding, between 14 and 15 years eld, was brought before Alderman Gibbs for final examination, upon the charge of having robbed Mrs. Pugh, a very benevolent old woman, of silver spoons and other property. Mrs. Pugh, it appeared, had been, while looking at a shop in Bishopsgate-street, addressed by the pri soner in the following manner:—" I have walked op to London from Norwich, 112 miles. and I have no friends here, and am very tired." Mrs. Pugh asked her whether she had no change of clothes and no money; to which she replied that she had neither I money, nor clothes, nor parents, nor place to go to ; and that she had not been in town more than an hour. " Then," said the complainant, " you shall hare a bed at my lodging; but you must go in the morning to the parish officers, and take their advice." The girl was then taken the kindest care of by the poor woman, washed, and fed, and combed ; and, after the second day, she was introduced to the station-house. On the third she returned to Mrs. Pugh, and said she was going home, and that she would call upon her benefactress on Sunday. " Oh, on Sunday," said Mrs. Pugh, " I never see visitors, as I make it. a rule to go to a place of worship on that day. " 'Why so do I," said the girl, " I go regularly twice every Sunday trom the Ragged Sehovl." They then parted, and on the following Sunday Mrs. Pugh, upon return ing from chapel, found that her room had been en tered, and that the silver spoons, and her meat and bread, and other portable goods, had been stolen, and it was beyond a doubt ascertained that the prisoner was the thief. LAMBETH. Thomas Barry, the clown at Astley's Theatre, ap peared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a summons charging him with assaulting Mr. William Henry Harvey, the ballet-master at the same theatre. The complainant, who appeared to labour under great tribulation, and was once or twice moved to tears, said—On last Thursday night, during the per formances, I was at one end of the green-room and the defendant at the other, and something occurring to draw his attention towards me, Mr. Barry ex claimed, " Oh., Bill, you old —, give me a kiss !" and, advancing towards me, he threw his arms around me and mauled my face with his hands. I tried to get away from him all I could, and pushed him away, upon which he said, " Lilies your game, is it ?" and rushing at me seized me by the throat, and shook me violently. Some of the gentlemen present got me away from him, and I went out of the place and saw the stage-manager, and told him that Mr. Barry h..d used me most roughly. Shortly after Mr. Barry rushed at me a second and a third time, and Mr. Thompson, the stage-manager, told him he had better go to his dressing-room. For some time, your Worship, I have been subjected to the greatest annoyance by what is called the " low chaff" of Mr. Barry. Mr. Bridges said he was employed at Astley's Theatre, and on the night in question saw Mr. Barry put his arms on the complainant's shoulders in a jo cular way at first. The complainant resisted him, and a scuffle and some words took place, and he saw the defendant take bim by the neck and shake him. Mr. Barry complained at the time that the complain ant had scratched his cheek, and as soon as he was released from him by two persons present, he rushed a second time at the complainant and shook him vio lently. Tae defendant also shook the complainant a third time. ➢lr. Thomas Thompson, the stage .manager at Astley i s, said that the complainant came to him with the defendant, and Mr. Barry was calling out, " Keep that man off me," and Harvey appealed to him for protection. He endeavoured to get Harvey away, and some gentlemen having held Barry, he separated them. Harvey's dress was disordered, his scarf was pulled on one side, but this he (witness) believed was his own fault. Mr. ELLIOTT (to the defendant)—What have you g.,t to say to the charge ? Defendant—Well, sir, on the night in question we were in the green-room, when I, in a jocular manner, and certainly unaccom panied by the whole of the expressions made use of by him, and also without the slightest vin dictive or unkindly feeling, placed my arms on his shoulders, upon which he at once dug his nails into my left cheek and caused the blood to fllw. I then said, "You little wasp, how dare you take such a liberty with me ?" and I did, I own, seize him by the neck and shake him ; but I assure your Worship I had no more idea of putting him out of temper by what I had done than I had of paying the national debt; and that I believe, your Worship, is not very probable, as there is little hope of my doing so. Mr. ELLIOTT—Have you any witnesses to call ? Defendant—l certainly could call plenty to the com plainant's general irritability of temper, but will not do so; I wish, however, to examine one witness. Mr. John Henderson, a member of the company, was then sworn, but his testimony differed only from that of the other witnesses in the fact of his saying that he had frequently seen Mr. Barry do similar things to the complainant without the latter getting out of temper. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that, from the evidence on both sides, it did appear to him that the complainant bad scratched the defendant, but, at the same time, he did not think the latter was justified in using the extreme violence that followed, and for this he must pay a penalty of 203. and 2s. costs, or in default be imprisoned for ten days. The fine and expenses were at once paid.
