Saturday, July 16, 1859. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA After an extraordinary run of about nine days, the royal mail steamer Persia, Captain Judkin,s, ar rived here last evening, with four days' later news from the United States. She brought 227 passengers, and 756,000 dollars in specie. There is no particular n ews of importance. Our New York letters state that the Catholic Archdishop Hughes had preached in St. Peter's Church, Barclay-street, The New York Herald, in noticing the matter, says : The Most 'Rev. Archbishop Hughes preached on Sunday, in St. Peter's Church, Barclay-street. Having understood that the theme of his discourse was to be the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, one of our reporters was on hand to make a ver batim report of the sermon. The whole and sole fabric of the sermon was, however, the reiteration and enforcement of the Catholic dogma that the Roman Church is the Church of Christ, and that outside of that mystical body there is no Chris tianity. The Archbishop glanced but once at the idea of temporal power, and riches, and prosperity, and that was in connection with the poverty and backwardness of Catholic countries, and in doing so he cited the case of Satan tempting Christ by offering him all the kingdoms of the earth. The Archbishop, however, did not enlarge on the illus tration, seeing, perhaps, that it would give room for the remark that Satan was more successful in similar experiments with the successors of St. Peter some centuries afterwards. In the afternoon a large con gregation assembled at St. Peter's church, when the Archbishop administered the sacrament of confirma tion to about 450 children. In accordance with the economy and retrench ment principles of the Secretary of the Treasury, Collector Schell on Thursday notified some eighty of the Custom House employes that their services were no longer required. The victims are entry clerks, invoice clerks, measurers, and assistant weighers COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, July 6 Business was not very actively resumed this morning. after the holiday season, though in Stock and Money affairs the feeling, if anything, is more cheerful than last week. There is a demand for prime lists of mercantile paper at 6 to 7 months, as in date, 30 days to 6 months ,• and loans on demand are made at 6 per cent. to the established Stock and Domestic Exchange firms. There is also a demand for Treasury Bills at par for the 51 per cents., of which the Sub-Treasurer sold 350,000 dols. The Brokers are'retain ing the 6 per cents. at I per cent. premium. The export engagements •of Specie—of which 200,000 dols. in gold and silver came in to-day from New Orleans and Panama—are less than anticipdted for the Persia to morrow. The amount entered at the ship's office this afternoon is 744,000 dols. The remittances on account of the July Dividends appear to have been mainly despatched by the two steamers on Saturday last. The Kangeroo, for Liverpool, if not the Ocean Queen, for Havre and South ampton, accepted a smaller freight charge than is usually paid to the Cunarders. The terms for Exchange for the present steamer are held firm and at the full Specie standard, MI to 110 on London and 60 day's sight, and IIQ to 1103 for short sight. French Exchange, at sight, is rather easier, f. 5.10 to f. 6.081 The business has been a fair one. The mails by th e Persia will, we understand, be assorted on board by an extraordinary an.ent of the British Post-office Department, to be readyvfor delivery immediately on the arrival of the ship at Live.tpool. The distribution for each considerable city in the United Kingdom, and for all the prominent points of tho Continent, will also be arranged by the same agent, to insure the least possible delay on the other side. Mr. CVS4IID has caused a senerate apartment to be fitted up in the ships to facilitate this new and con venient order from the British Post-office. COTTON. We take the following from Messrs. W. P. Wright and Co.'s circular, dated New York, July 6 The sales in this market up to last Saturday amounted to 6,600 bales, the principal of which was done after the receipt of the letters per Arabia on Friday morning. Prices gradually hardened, and closed very firmly at 111 c for average lists of middling Uplands, while even running parcels of middling and upwards commanded more money, from their relative scarcity, the bulk of our stock consisting of low middling, downwards, with a good deal of stained and dusty cotton. Monday, being the national anniversary, was a close holiday. Yesterday there was little doing, but prices closed steadily at our quotations. The total sales from the 27th ult. are esti mated at 7,000 bales, mainly for export to Great Britain and the Continent ; the clearances during the same time have been, to Liverpool, 2,548 bales ; Havre, 1,888 ; Gothenburg, 87. Total, 4,623 bales. Corrox IN TRANSITIL-About 2,000 bales have changed hands, on a basis of 113,c. per lb. for average Middling New Orleans, add 11c. for Low Middling, with td. to 6-16 d. per lb. freight. By telegraph the following has been received : NEW ORLEANS, JULY 2.—Receipts for the week 1,111 bales (net). Same week last year, 5,600. Sales for the week, 7,600 bales. Middling, 11-Ic. per lb.

Our" advices are almost uniformly of the same tenor, in representing the plant as healthy, and promising very favorably, though somewhat behind the last, in nearly all sections except Texas. At the latest dates, the weather was highly beneficial, particularly in • the region tributary to New Orleans. RECEIPTEL—For the week, 8,000 bales, against 23,000 the same week last year. The total into the ports now amounts to 3,631,000 bales. or 626.011 n 4,, Inc cor ...nut:a MUM WWI lA/ responding date last season. Expowrs.—By reference to the New Orleans market re port, it Will be found that corrections have been made there, by which 3,899 bales have been deducted from the exports to Great Britain and added to other foreign ports, to which our tables are made to conform : the export to Great Britain for the week, by the figures, is therefore only 9,000 bales. against 38,000 the same week last season ; t. - 7 Lauuu ULM. anuer foreign ports, 9,000, aga i nst t h e same amount last year.

No such information would .be given till the return of the Emperor of the French to Paris. He therefore appealed to Lord Malmesbury and Lord Normanby, who had motions on the subject on the paper,' to postpone them for a few day s. Earl MALMESBURY• acquiesced, but made some remarks in defence of the conduct of the Duchess of Parma. She was highly popular amongst - her subjects, whose unanimous wish was that she should be restored. He declared his conviction that the allegations contained against the Duchess in the despatch of Count Cavour were destitute of founda tion: The Marquis of CLANRICARDE vindicated Count Cavour who had shown, during the whole 'course of his policy, thi utmost energy, honesty, and consistency Lord BRIOZG ' RAM called aiention to the deplorable posi tion of Europe, whose fate was allowed to be the will of two despots, who made peace without constituted assemblies, without consulting public opinion, and without even the intervention of a responsible minister. The Earl of DERBY enquired whether the peace with Austria included Sardinia. Earl GRANVILLE replied that Sardinia was understood to be a consenting party to the convention, but the Govern ment had no informition beyond that already known to the public. Some remarks on the subject were made by Lord EBURY and Lord S. de REDCLIFFE, The Clerk of the Council Bill was read a second time ruse then adjourned at 7 21 HOUSE OF COMMONS. -YESTERDAY Lord WILLIAM GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Government has received any information respecting the formation of a lar g e Channel fleet at Brest and Che r b ourg , w ith gun b oa t s an d means of embarking and disembarking troops, and if so, whether they have demanded any explanations from the French Govern ment on the suhject ? / 1? TiQ.rim replied lanation had word J OHN RUSSELL replied that no exp, u nac„ been demanded, because no extraordinary preparations had been made by the French Government. Mr. V. SCULLY asked the Attorney-General whether the present Government intended to introduce any measure to facilitate the transfer of land through a proper system for the registration of title. _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the report of the Commission. on the subject had been under consideration ; and that a measure on the subject would be introduced. Sir FITZROY KELLY asked Che Secretary of State for Fo rei,7l Affairs whether it i s th e i r i n t en t ion t o propose to Parliament during the present session the Bankruptcy Bill which was read a second time, and intended to be referred to a select committee in the last session of the late Parlia ment. , Lord J. RtSSELL said, that his bill was in the hands of the Attorney-General, as the pressure of business had pre vented him attending to it himself. Mr. HORSMAN asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any communication had been made as to the terms of the pending treaty, and whether communication had been made on the subject to other Powers. Lord J. RUSSELL said, 'that no communication as to the exact terms of the treaty had been made to her Majesty's Government by that of Paris. The French Ambassador had informed him that a document had been signed at Villa Franca, the general terms of which were already known. That no direct communication had been made either to himself or to our Ambassador at Paris. He had requested Lord Cowley to ask for an explanation as to the exact terms of the treaty, andthe mode proposed of carrying it out. Lord Cowley had been informed, in reply that no further statemeat could be made till the arrival of the Emperor at Paris, who was expected on. Monday next. He believed that a similar communication had been made to the Govern ment of Prussia but he could not say whether it hadbeen made to other Powers. On the motion for adjournment till Monday Mr. HUNT asked the 'First Lord of the Treasury' whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to recom mend to the House either during , this or the next session of Parliament any measure for relieving persons ordained by Bishops of the .Protestant Episcopal Churches in Scotland and the United States of America from their present dis abilities to officiate and hold cures' of souls in England and Ireland. Lord PA.LMERSTON said, that any measures on the subject ought to be preceded by inquiry before a Select Committee. He would not propose such a committee during the present session, but he should take the first, opportunity of doing so in the next. Mr. HUNT said, that if this was not done, he should himself submit a motion on the subject. The O'DOSOGILUE called the attention of the Govern ment to the relations subsisting between landlord and tenant in Ireland. He called on the Government to state their intention frankly, and not to pursue a policy of this ingenious evasion. The subject had been considered in every point of view, and did not require .further delay. The country expected a plain and simple bill, giving ,the occupiers a claim for compensatiOn; and not a Leasing Powers Bill, or any obtuse measure. _ _ , Mr: CARDWELL said that the subject had been undertaken by every government for many years. Many difficulties had been removed, and the present government was prepared to grapple with the rest, and to.introduce a just and equitable measure. He trusted that he should not at that time be asked to,say more. The motion fpr adjournment till Mon- day was then ag On the motion that the House go into Committee of Supra% roril Em) entered into explanations as to the reasons which had induced him to place upon the paper resolutions approving the policy of the late Government, and of the continuance of their policy of neutrality. 'lle proposed the first in justice to the late Government, and the last to strengthen the hands of the present. He avowed his policy that if all had been known which was now known, the decision which-upset the late Government might have been materially altered. But after the announcement of Peace, part of,the motion had become useless, and for the rest, he . • •,__ n„,-1 for that reason he withdrew his motion. The Peace was not altogether a satisfactory one to all parties, and gave cause for alarm to all those who dreaded• interference in foreign questions and Propagandism onbeha lf of nationalities. He thought that the peace had left uncertain the condition of Italian freedom, and while he regarded with delight the ;, cessation of slaughter he was yet doubtful that the peace nssured the permanent tranquillity of Europe. - Mr. S. Fizzammo said - that c if the noble lord had per severed in the motien, the result would have been most inconvenient to the present Government, who after all their objections and professions found themselves compelled to follow with all humility the policy of their predecessors, which they themselves had been the first to revive. it was uncertain whether a European Congress would be required to carry out the settlement of affairs, but as for ourselves he believed as we had nothing ko do with the law we should have nothing to do with the.peace. He protested against the language of the Government who had said that if England was called upon to mediate, it should do so in the position a „I f.r whntover conseauences lower arme might arise This was the language of menaptug had been so full of peril and former diplomacy •• .1 He trusted that whatever might be the, interference of tne Government, it might be made in that pacific spirit which VIP KJ YAM/. V _ Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that while he admitted the merits of the late government, there were points in their conduct which he blamed especially in the early part of the negotiations with France during the recet difficulties• He gave his predecessors credit for their exertions in the cause of neutrality, and for himself and his colleagues, he asserted that they would be no parties to a Peace that was no consistent with the honour and dignity of the countrt declared at the same time that they had both felt and declared distrust as to results of the war on the indepen- ucuce 01 ktaty. After some conversation on military details and on the items of the estimates, the house `vent into committee of supply. The remaining army estimates were then voted. On the motion for going into the miscellaneous, Mr. WILLIAMS complained that the estimates had been very recently de clared and moved that the chairman report progress. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY seconded the motion. • Lord PALMEItSTON trusted there would be no objection 1-sy•nonnil Wri I-11P iinnnnnspii pruceeu Mr. WlLLimis replied.that he did not know what esti- mates he was to consider unopposed. m the motion for reporting was mega- After some discus tived by 61 to 19.

Gregor and Lord John Browne should be added to the committee. • The motion was :seconded by Mr. Hennessy ;f nn crrnund hat the com- •• • revive the simple controversy respecting the G:alway contract.

AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, Friday. Evening. The Cotton Market, to-day, has exhibited remar kable steadiness, and closes --with a firm tone. The sales have .amounted to upwards • of 10,000 bales, including 3,500 on speculation . and for export, the ,market closing steadily .at an advance since this day week of id to Id per lb on the current qualities of .American. Brazil' have also improved to the same extent, and Egyptians are id 'to 4d higher; the demand for Surat has been large, and prices close, except for the better qualities, fully 4-d to id per lb dearer. Messrs. Heywood and M'Viccar, in their excellent Circular of this evening, remark on the movements, of the trade throughout the week : The animation which manifested itself in the cotton he termination ofiao wec market at t, ..1( was further increase( in the beginning of the present one, by the favourable accounts from 'Manchester, and though the quantity of cot ton on sale continued to be considerable, holders evinced so much confidence that prices became slightly dearer, and on Wednesday, after the news of a treaty of peace beang, con cluded between France and Austria, the market became very animated, and in the general desire to buy which ensue d, prices of American cotton became id per lb dearer, and though yesterday and to-day the demand, comparatively, has not been so great, yet prices are maintained with the great est, steadiness. The growing prosperity of the , country—the great and increasing consumption of cotton—the sound and remunerative state of trade in Manchester and all the manu facturing districts,,with the abundance of money for all com- menial purposes—appear to warrant the opinion so generally entertained that our present range of prices must, under all the circumstances which at this time surround the ,cotton market,, be considered relatively moderate and sus ceptible, as far as all reasoning can determine, of gradual but sure improvement. Surats, especially of the lower qua lities, tire M per lb. dearer. Brazils and. Egyptians are id per lb hi r. The business this week (exclu s iv e o f 10,000 bales to-day and a firm market) amounts to 106,783 bags, including 16,990 American on speculation, and 1,840 Ame rican, 300 Bahia, 200, Egyptian, and 9,930 Surat, for export. The quotations. accordine to the now Stnn third ndnntgul Iry thr. Brokers' Association are, fair Uplands 71d, fair Mobiles and fair Orleans 81,-d per lb. The import of the week is 48,798 bales. . . The Liverpool Share Market opened at a reduc tion of about a half per cent from the closing prices of yesterday, and during the morning sustained a further reduction.. The business, however, was of a limited character, and showed no pressure of stock. Anticipations of fresh complications in Italy so soon as the French army is withdrawn, have caused an uneasy feeling ; though, most probably,. the re action is nothing more than was - to have been' ex pected after so extraordinary a rise. In response to the improvement in the . Funds, the market assumed a better appearance in the middle of the day, and finally closed at more than a half per cent reaction from the lowest prices. • In the Money Market to-day there was very little change to notice. The demand for accommodations was limited, and rates were much about the same as formerly quoted. Rather more speculation in busi ness generally is noticed, and other than first class securities are not so easily discounted, as was the Case some few days ago. The market for the public Funds and Securities opened rather dull and quiet this morning at 951 4 to 951, afterwards declined to 95 7-16 sellers, towards the afternoon, however, a better feeling, set in, and the market closed firm at 951 to 95& for consols for money, and 951 to 951 for the account. Exchequer Bills were done at 26 to 29, and Bank Stock at 220 to 223. The new Three per Cents closed at 951 to 96. The London Railway Share Market was quiet in the morning, but afternoon there was a slight reac tion, and with a fair business doing. Prices closed about the same as quoted yesterday. The following are the closing prices :—Ambergate, Nottingham, and Eastern Junction, SH, 6 z t.; Caledonians, 852,, 851; Eastern Counties, 591, 60; East Lancashire, 94, 95; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 72, 74 ; Great Northern, , 103, 104; Great Northern, A., 86, 87 ; Great West erns, 601; Great Westerns of Canada, 141, 1 4 a ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81 4 , In; Great Southern and .

Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 361 ' 37+ ; Mid land Stock, 1041, 1041- ; North British, 571, 58 ; South Eastern and Dover, 731, 74 ; York, Newcastle and Berwick, 941 ; York and North Midland, 761 ' 761. The tone of the g enera l P r od uce M ar k e t s h as been rather firmer this week. The business in Sugar was larger, and prices may be considered slightly higher. In Molasses the sales are limited, but prices are well sustained. There was little done in Rum, and prices declined. Coffee has met with a good sale at steady rates. The Rice market continues extremely flat. Dyewoods and Drysalteries present no change of notice. Other articles same as before. Dullness has been the prevalent feature of the Provision trade. Beef has been only in a retail demand, and with continued liberal arrivals, the mare is aepressen. noiaers, however, remain remarkably firm, so far asfirst qualities are concerned. Other descriptions are lower. Pork is also greatly depressed, and prices are lower almost daily. The demand for Bacon has become somewhat better, and prices are well maintained. Nl' Cheese there is a fair demand, at full prices. The Breadstuff trade has been dull during the week, and the sudden termination of the war taken in connection with the fine weather, and the antici pated abundance of the crops rather interferes with business. Speculation is almost at a standstill, and the transactions are only for the pressing and imme diate wants. Although m the early part of the week holders made an attempt to establish an advance on Wheat, the London and country markets all remained without improvement. Indian Corn attracts some attention. To-day, in the absence of demand, Wheat and Flour are quoted nominally as on Friday last. BANK,OF ENGLAND RETURNS, ISSUE DEPAILTIIENT CREDIT.

That this con summation will prove salutary to the best interests of com merce cannot admit of doubt ; but the period elasping since the close of hostilities is too short-to have allowed any of the — beneficial and' healing influences of peace to unfold themselves,-and the utmost which can he said on the subject is the expression of a hope that the peace will prove lasting, and that its advent may be the harbinger of extended com mercial prosperity. Since ,our last th arrivals of cargoes have been considerable, some of which a r e no t y e t landed, and on the whole the state of the• wood trade may be re garded.as little, if at all Altered since the date of our last issue. • PINE TEMBER.—Of this timber from Quebec several sales took place by auction early in the month ; the ran g e of prices realized may be stated at is 3d per f oo t, f or 60 feet average, in lots to suit the requirements of purchasers. 11111 e uuttru Louver, trom to mules to 24 Inc sold in similar lots at an average of 20d per foot RS square, A week ago 670 logs of 65 feet average, ex "'Prince Consort," in 14 lots, sold at 14id per foot.

The .weather - ntinues very hot - I and Ibrcing, and the crops are reported to be maturing rapidly; in early spots, it is expected, reap ing will commence by the end of the month. The trade in consequence has been unusually flat, and the little business done has been quite in retail ? and at prices slightly in buyers' favour. The imports of foreign and colonial grain and flour into the eleven chief ports of the United Kingdom for the week ending 6th instant were—Wheat and flour, 97,441 qrs.; barley, 23,632 qrs. ; oats, 23,340 qrs. ; rye, 107 qrs. ; peas, 2406 qrs. ; beans, 5616 qrs. ; Indian corn, 8911. This day's market was slenderly attended, and the amount of business very limited. The few sales effected of wheat were for consumption, and at nearly the rates of Tuesday ; and fresh parcels of flour were saleable to a moderate extent, at former rates. Oats and oatmeal Quiet. Barley neglected.

MANSFIELD, ------- A` IRISH- itolv.—Three persons, two males and a : male, made their appearance in the dock. Their nan were John Fallan, Denis Daily, and Mary Daily, the Litt being husband and wife. They were charged by Jan O'Neill, with violently assaulting him without the sliehtA provocation. In answer to Mi. Bluck, who appeared for the prisoners, the complainant stated that he was struck three blows, but he could not say who struck him first; but the whole 'three prisoners were beating him. He was knocked down and dragged into an entry, where he was found by an officer and taken to the dispensary to have his , head dressed. He did not strike the prisoners; but. they .were .after him ,day and night, and he could not live for them. There were three pokers came on him all at once. Mary M‘Dermott preferred .a similar charge against the prisoners. Officers, 69 and 18 said they saw theui fighting altogether. The surgeon who dressed the complainant's wounds said, he found three large contused wounds on the head of the male prisoner, and from the nature of the injuries received, it would be three or four weeks before he Would be well. The woman had re ceived two contused wounds on. the back of the head. The injuries were very severe, but the man was worse. Ann M'Nally was called and stated, that she saw the pri soners beating O'Neill. They had pokers and tongs, and all sorts of weapons. Mr. Bluck—Have you been here very often ? . Yes, I have, but not as a prisoner. I come when I have business. What is your business ? Anything at all that I have to do. Mr. Bluck—l see you are a bright ornament to society. Mr. Bluck said there was a feeling of spleen among those people. His clients were very hard working people, and had saved some. money, and his client had been deliberatelY struck by the complainant first, when his wife came to his assistance and got a blow of a stone on the head. It was quite usual fur. people to come to the police court with their heads bound up with large pieces of calico, resembling ,a draper's shop, like thi s . M r . Bl uc k called two witnesses who proved that the complainant com mitted the first assault. Mr. Mansfield said it seemed to be an Irish row, and as it had been clearly proved that . they were fighting, and if the complainants had been in the dock he would have served them all alike. The . prisoners were fined 40s. and costs each, or two months imprisonment. CHARGE or Munpun.—A sailor named J o hn M c l n ty re was brought up on a charge of having caused the death of John Maxwell, on the 26th February last, on board the barque "Faith," at • New Calabar. Mr. Bluck was retained on behalf of the prisoner. James Lam bert was. the first witness called, he said—l recollect the 26th day of February last; I was on board the ship or barque Faith, belonging to Messrs Tobins ; we were lying. at New . Calabar, in Africa ; I know the prisoner ; I also knew a man of the name of John Maxwell; he and I were on deck washing, our clothes on a Saturday afternoon; John Maxwell was a cooper ; he went across the deck,..and said. to the prisoner, " You count yourself the bully of the ship, and lam your man." I did not see a stroke struck good or bad ; I did not see anything, but went on with my washing; they went down into the forecastle, and I soon after heard Maxwell call out "He has stabbed me, he has stabbed me." I went down and took the knife out of the prisoner's hand ; I went down into the forecastle when I heard the cry of murder. [The knife was produced and identified by the witness--the knife was very much bent.] • The knife was bent in that way when I took it out of his hand. Mr. Mansfield—When Maxwell spoke to the prisoner as you described, had the prisoner the knife in his hand, or did he strike him with it then ? IVitness—No ; he went to his bunk in the forecastle for it. After deceased was stabbed the only words I heard him say was, when a man called Yates spoke to bins and said " What is to do with you ?" De ceased said "He has stabbed me." That was all lie said. One stab was below the lower rib, one was about an inch below the nipple of the breast, and another a little further. round. All was done in about fifteen minutes. The man was brought up a corpse. To Mr. Bluck : I did not come to this court yesterday. I know a man named James Boyle. I did not knoW that there was . a quarrel about grog, I did not see Yates fight with. the prisoner. I did not see any fight on the deck, as I was washing my clothes at the other side of the deck. , The only thing I heard was a rush, and then the deceased calling out murder. The. knife was in the • prisoner's hand when I went down below. The prisoner .was down on his knees when I took the knife out of ,his hand. I went on deck and gave the knife to the captain. I never told a man named Grimes that I did not get it in the prisoner's hand. I know a man called Boyle ; he and Yates are both in Africa now. I never saw a stroke struck that day. When I took the knife out of the prisoner's. hand, I told him to go on deck, and he said he would. He went t o th e captain, but though they talked I could not hear what passed between them. James Coad was the next witness. He said : I belonged to the ship " Faith "• on the 26th February last. I was a seaman on board, and the prisoner was also a seaman on board. I knew John Maxwell, he was a cooper, he might be from 32 to 34 years of age ; I thi n k h e was an E ng li s h man , an d . 1- 1 1 • • - themselves, and the prisoner came to get some tobacco of of his box. James Boyle Fsiia ociau w 'au pribunur anu inn LIM he would give us a glass of grog. I said I would not take any, and the prisoner he would go. Thoy went on deck together. I saw soon after, the prisoner and deceased fighting. Maxwell knocked the prisoner down. The car penter came to take the prisoner away, when some others that were there, told the carpenter that it was no business of his. The carpenter then let them alone. The prisoner was on his lefts again_ niid thn anu tacuutt,,eu tiLTUCK aim knocked him clo - wn again. The prisoner said, " Don't strike me, Jack ; I have no quarrel' with you.". The prisoner then went away. The deceased was drunk, and in a very excited state. The prisoner went into the forecastle and the deceased followed. When I went down into the forecastle Maxwell was alive—ho was laid on the mainhatch. I saw three wounds : one on the left breast, and two smallei ones on the right side. I heard Max well cry out " Help, help, I am stabbed, I am stabbed?' That was not more than three minutes after they went into the forecastle. I know that knife; I saw several of those knives on board; they were got from a wrecked vessel; I saw that knife in the possession. of the last witness ; I would call that a trade knife ; when I first saw it I would not say that there was blood on it ; I could not say whether that knife would likely make such wounds as those I saw on the deceased. To Mr. Bluck—All the coopers were drunk ; Yates and Boyle are both in Africa ; Boyle was the worst that day, but every one was against the prisoner ; Maxwell knocked him down twice in my presence, and then made a run forward and run into the forecastle. The prisoner was the first person who went into the forecastle; Maxwell went down next ; Yates did not go down till there was a cry for help ; when Maxwell got to -the bottom of the ladder he made a shove at the prisoner; it might be about half a minute from the time he went down till the cry for help was heard. When I was in the forecastle there were several people there ; I saw Lambert, the last witness, there ; he went down before me ; I saw the Kane in ins MUM 1111A:1 maxwell dud not say who it was that stabbed him. There were lots of these knives on board, some of the sailors had as many as half a dozen of them. Mr. Clough said he had the depositions of the witnesses before the council in Africa, Mr. Bluck said he understood that one of the witnesses died last night, and of course his deposition s cou ld not b e taken in evidence. Mr. Mansfield thought the depositions of the witness who died the night before was perfectly admissible, as they were taken before the Consul, a n d i n th e hearing f the accused. John Lewis, a Sandwich Islander, was brought forward as a witness, but his English was so imperfect, that a full statement of what he saw could not be gathered. He told in a tolerably clear manner that he was sick and in the forecastle at the time when Maxwell was stabbed, and that he was the only one that could say that he saw the act committed. The clerk of the court then read the depositions of the' deceased witness, whose name was Charles Franklin. These were taken before Mr. Joseph Hutchinson, her Majesty's consul, and certified by him to be correct as given. According to the depositi ons of this witness, h e was i n the forecastle and saw the man stabbed. Witness then called out for fear that the prisoner should kill him, too. Mr. Bluck addressed:the court on behalf of the prisoner, and said that if the witness Coal was to be believed, and he thought he was the only person worthy of notice, the person who was his client, and the prisoner at the same time, had done nothing very far out of the way. The coopers were all against him, and there could be no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that this was simply a case of manslaughter if it was anything. Mr. Mansfield said, taking the worst view of the case they could not say it was more than manslaughter, but even on that charge he had strong d ou bt s w h et h er a j ury would f i nd h i m guilty of it. On this charge, however, he would send him for trial. BEFORE MR. TORR THE BlLLErrixo SYSTEM.—Nathan Conce, publican, Maddox-street, was summoned for refusing to provide proper accommodation for two soldiers who were billetted on Officer 391 stated, that a militia officer came to him and re quested him to visit the house of the defendant, and inspect the accommodation that was provided for two soldiers. lie visited the house and found that the bed was a very bad one, and not sufficient to accommodate the men. Officer 261 said, that the bed was not fit for , a pi g t o li e down on, it was " both filthy and dirt y," and no blankets on it.
