BEFORE ME. MANSFIELD, TILE SIIIP DUKE OF WELLINGTON.--The crew of this ship, eleven in number, . that stood remanded from Wednes day, on a charge of having refused' to g 6 in the ship, on an allegation that the vessel was leaking, and therefore not sea worthy, were brought up yesterday. Mr. 3fartindole, one of Lloyd's surveyors, Was examined, and he proved that the ship was perfectly seaworthy, and this being all the men required, they said they would at once return to the ship, and proceed on the voyage. THE EXMOITS OF MISS ENBIA J ONES. — Tones is tall, and, for a Welsh girl, very 1 from hi though her exploits were not in ac - eordance with her " party face," because her actions were very ugly. Police officer 769 said he was pursuing the noiseless tenor of his N Park-lane the previous afternoon, probably thinking nothing at all at all, except some blaek-eyed cook maid about one of the squares, who, in all likelihood,' . was pre paring some jellies and ther tit-bits for his supper, when his attention!was called to Miss Jones, who went along the street as if walking on the figure of an S. The officer's idea of the perpendicular not squaring with the movement of the lady, number called fl stood watching her great circlo sailing with admiratioi 3r some time. Now it so happened that in Park- n other places, old gentlemen with sticks perani bulate the 1 on this occasion one of that Class was coming in line of latitude to that of the Welsh lady. NI at the " ancient buffer," and then, drawing out from him, she gave him a blow on the side of the head, She 10 to take over the organ of destruction, that very nearly made "destruction "of him altogether. His nose bled profuSely, and he seemed much hurt, but he refused to Prosecute, as he was, he said, too glad to get home, and go to bed. Miss Jones, in true Welsh accents, said, she met a friend from Lan—, some place spelled with about seven-and-thirty consonants, and that, being very " droothy," they had some beer together, and it quite got into her head. (Inspector Horn, in his own peculiar quiet way, r e marked th a t h e thought the beer must have gone rather into the 'cavity of her stomach.) She said the old gentleman struck her first with the stick, and she only defended herself. The police man said this was not true, as he saw her very deliberately knock him down, without rhyme or reason. Mr. Mansfield said he did not see any reason why old gentlemen with sticks in the street should be knocked down by Amasoniau Welsh ladies, who got drunk with their friends. H e h a d much sympathy for old gentlemen with sticks in the streets, and, therefore, he would send the prisoner to jail for one month with hard labour. BURGLARY IN GLASGOIV take thi —Detective officer M'Culloch brought up a young man named James Johnston, on a charge of having committed a burglary and extensive rob bery in a house in Glasgow. The officer said he received information of the robbery, and went in search of the pri soner, whom he found in a. house in Collingwood-street, and on telling him the charge, he admitted his guilt. The officer asked for a warrant to take the prisoner to Glasgow, which was granted, an the prisoner was transmitted. NEGLECT - OF A CHILD.—A little girl named Mitchell, the child of a shoemaker, named William Mitchell, who lives in Sussex-street, Park, was charged with begging. The case was this -as Mrs. Crockett, who lives in Knight street, Park, said : The girl was in the habit of coming to her begging, and she generally had a sinull baby in her arms. On the previous day she saw the baby in a state of filth and emaciation, and she took it from the girl, was h e d an d gave it something to eat, and then went t o th e poli ce - s t at i on, and told ,Mr. Clough. Mr. Clough said when he saw the child, it was one of the most frightful sights he ever saw. He made enquiry, and found that the father earned 24s a week, and that all arose iii consequence of the horrible drunken habits of the mother. He had the child attended to, and sent it to a doctor. The doctor who examined the child said, the emaciation of the child arose from a disease that might have been set up by want of proper neurishment. The father of the child came forward and admitted that his wife was an awful drunkard, but denied that the little girl in the dock went out to beg, with his knowledge. She had got into bad company, and he feared other girls had brought her out to beg. Both children were given up to the father, and his Worship cautioned him to be particular in future, and pay proper attention to them, for if any thing had happened the baby he would have sent him for trial for neglect of it. BEFORE MESSRS. CASTELLAINB AND DIXON DETAINING AN ALLOTMENT NOTE.—Mary 3.l`Coy, a grocer and provision dealer, at 46, Gilbert-street, was summoned by the wife of a sailor, named Ellen Reece, for detaining an allotment note for £1 2s 6d, monthly money allowed her by her husband, who is at sea. Mr. Black was for • the defence, and ad mitted that his client had the note, and retained it as security for a debt. It appeared that the complainant sent ber sister to Mrs. M'Coy's with the note, and lodged it as security for goods to the amount of £3 10s. The complain ant, a day or two since, appeared for the note, but it was refused unless she paid the amount. The complainant then called a policeman and gave her in charge for felony. On the case going before Mr. Clough, he investigated it, and refused to book the charge, and then the case was brought under the shipping act. The complainant, however, offered to pay 10s a month out of the debt. The magistrates said it was a hardship on the defendant, but they had no alter native, and must order the note to be restored. The com plainant could bring an action in the County-court for the recovery of her debt. Mr. Black said, it was a downright swindle on the part of the complainant, and what was worse the giving of his .client into custody for felony. The bench said, it was a great hardship but the woman had her remedy iu another A POLICEMAN CHARGED 'WITH BRlBERY.—Captain. 'earthy, of the ship Susan and Anne, was summoned by otticer Chambers, 347, for having allowed a naked light on board, on the •15th instant, in the Nelson Dock. The mate of the vessel admitted the fact, and stated that, on the 11th instant, the same officer went on board, and not finding any one keeping to the watch, he threatened to lay an informa tion against the ship, when the mate got 2s. 6d. from the captain and gave it to the officer, and he did not lay the information, but told him to be more careful in future. In corroboration of this statement, the mate of a Welsh sloop was called, and he stated the same thing. ' Mr. Wybergh said this was a case that ought to - ()roughly investi- Mr. - Clough, the case was referred to the watch committee for investigation. FINISHING-A WATCH FINISHER.--joshua Shoal, a watch finisher, summoned John Danson, a watchmaker, for atter sonic conversation wit having assaulted him. Mr. Bluck was for the complainant, and stated the case, and called his client, who stated that he knew the defendant for a long time, and never had any difference with him until Saturday night when going home. They live near each other, and some difference arose, when the defendant, as alleged by the complainant, knocked him down, and nearly " finished " bin. Several witnesses were called for the defence, and their evidence went to show that the " first blow!' was given by complainant, and of course thi charge was dismissed. DEAD CATTLE.-Mr. M'Gowan applied to their Worships for an order to destroy the carcasses of several dead cattle, under the following circumstances : He said a vessel arrived here from Oporto, consigned to Messrs. Verdon and Cullen, and contained a quantity of cattle. The ship met with very bad weather and a great number of the beasts perished. The carcasses were taken to the public slaughter house, but only a- small portion was-fit for food, and under the act of parliament he applied for an order to destroy it. Mr. Luya was examined, and proved the facts as stated. A gentleman, from the consignees, said they were, of course, most anxious to do all that was right in the case. --......43...-.- .nno [laced, The Governorship of Hong Kong will now cease to be held by the superintendent of trade in China the first Governor of I , «will ,be llr.. lierenle.9 Governor of St. Christopher. _ . new sy- , Lieut.- )ng Kong, under the Robinson, at present li's new clauses relating to 1 freehold rs is to give thou' the option of registerin or either a county or borough vote, as they may choose — , ind thus th Echequer inienuou.sl3; TO SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS most profit article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Mrs, pa and Co street, Liverpool—in fact they are invaluable wherever there is bad water.

Walworth, accompanied by two decent looking married feniales, attended before Mr. Elliott, at the Lam beth police court, to - crave his Worship's assistance in stimulating the police in their exertions in tracing out two little girls,, who had disappeared from their hom e s i n a very mysterious ma nner . From the statement of the rev. Pm, it appeared that the last time the little girls was between the hours of two and three o'clock, left their homes to attend school,. and were stop to bserved ook at a woman dancing in the street, near Surrey-square, and since that time nothing has been heard or learned of them by their distressed and anxi ous parents.

The offence was provided for by an Act of • Parliament, passed in the year 1848. The offences. to which this act related were, previously to the passing mi ss Emma of it, high treason, but this act altered the pl law, as lug , revtous far as related to that crime, re treason to felony ; it likewise redt Punishment from that of death to transportation, or ine, or imprisonmout,.according to .th )1 the. cas The conspiracy of which it as alleged that the persons named in the indictment were members, was described, he said, in different parts of the indi They were charged to be vent ir. le combination of a certain _.parsons who had eat iwnix Society [tat the prisoners we] become guilty of the seve indictmeut.

The English Funds opened this morning at the dull prices of yesterday, and soon experienced a further fall. Before the close there was a partial recovery, but it is evident that both here and on the Continent the general distrust increased daily. Money has been in increased demand to-day, and Messrs.

No intelligence of a reassuring character has been received from the Continent. The Paris Bourse continues to fall. The position of the Derby Government is con sidered critical. Some bona fide realisations of English Government securities have been effected with a view to investment in the India Loan, and the broker of the Court of Chancery has sold £IO,OOO or £50,000 Consols for im mediate delivery. These considerations have sufficed to occasion a fresh fall of : I- per cent. in the English Funds, notwithstanding the support afforded by the investment on account of the savings' . , hanks of another £20,000. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange more or less depression prevailed. The market for British Railway Securities is the firmest of any, owing to the steady increase in the traffic.

LAW JUDICIAL COMMITT. INTELLIGENCE. EE or THE PRIVY COUNCIL, MARCH 16 ?resent -- Lord Kingsdown, Lord Justice Knight Mu( Sir B. Ryan, Sir L. Peel, and Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) KIRCHNER AND OTHERS V. THE VENUS, IMPORTANT DECISION ON MERCANTILE LAW Lord Kingsdown delivered the judgment of their lordships in this case, which is one of considerable importance to the public interest, as affecting the question of general mercan tile law. The judgment being most elaborate, we give a resume embracing the more saliciat points, and which have a general effect. , His Lordship observed that the appellants were British merchants, carrying On business at Sydney, in NeW South Wales ; and the respondent is the master of the. sailing Ship:Countess of Elgin. In Feliruary 1854, seven parcels of goods were shipped at Liverpool, on board this ship, by John W. Faircloagh and Co., upon all of which the respondent gave bills of, lading in the margin of the bills the sums due for freight and average were Stated, and - the following words were stamped in print : " Freight payable 'ln Liverpool, to .-Eneas Macdonnell, one month after sailing, vessel lost or not." One of these bills, that to which their lordships' attention was confined, had passed iuto the hands of the appellants, as endorsees, for value before the ship arrived at Sydney, add on her arrival in August, 1854, they applied to the respondent for the de livery of the goods. The respondent learned that the freight agreed upon had not been paid, and he accordingly refused to deliver up the goods without payment. The appellants thereupon brought an action against him in the Supreme Court of New South Wales for the wrongful conversion ; to which the defendant pleaded, " that he claimed to hold the goods as a lien and security for the sum due to him for the freight and carriage of the goods by him as a common carrier from England to Sydney, for the plaintiffs, and which sum, although demanded, had not been paid." At the trial evidence taken by commission was given, "that by the usage or custom of merchants, the shipowner, iu case of non-payment of freight, does not lose his lien, security, or claim upon the goods upon the arrival of the ship at her port of discharge, notwithstanding that by the terms'of the bill of lading freight is stated to be made payable in England." The Chief Justice told the jury that if they believed such a e usage as that relied on prevailed generally in the town of Liverpool, their verdict should be for the defendant, and if not, for the plaintiffs. The jury found for the plaintiffs. An application was made for a new trial, on the ground that inasmuch as by the bills of lading the goods were deliverable to the shipper's orders or assig nees, he or they paying freight ; such freight was in point of law payable by the plaintiffs as consignees and endorsees, either in Liverpool, or in default thereof in Sydney, before they could demand delivery of the goods. The court granted a new trial, 'when the jury found a - Nerdict for the defendant. An application was made for a new trial, which was refused, the court expressing on opinion " that irrespective of any question of usage no lien for freight exists in cases of this kind ; but, secondly, that a custom or usage in favour of such a lien existing in the port of shipment where the contract was made will (the stipulated freight or sum so called not being paid) confer the right of lien; on these grounds the court refused the' plaintiff's motion, and frem that order the present appeal was brought. The court below had referred the case of "Kirchner v. How," which was confirmed by the Privy Council on appeal. If that decision were correct, the only question now for consideration was, whether the court below had properly found that the rights of the parties in this case were altered by the effect of the custom alleged to exist in Liverpool. In the course of the argument their lordship's attention had been called to two " Gilkinson and Middleton" in the Common Pleas, Neish and Graham" in the Queen's Bench, in which it was said in a state of circumstances' not distin guishable in principle from "How and Kirchner" those courts had arrived at a conclusion different from that of the Judicial Committee. His lordship then proceeded to -lay down the principle of law. The ,right of lien may arise' either by implication of law or by express contract between the parties. Freight is the reward payable to the carrier for the safe carriage and delivery of the goods; itis payable only on the safe carriage and delivery. If the goods are lost on the voyage nothing is payable. On the other hand, if the goods are safely carried, the master of the ship has a lien on the goods for the amount of freight due for such carriage, and cannot be compelled to part with the goods till such freight be paid. These incidents to freight exist by rule of law, without reference to any bill of lading or other written con tract between the parties. Nit a sum of money payable before the arrival of the ship at.her port of discharge, and payable by the shippers of the goods at the port of shipment, does not require the legal character of freight, because it is described under the name of a bill of lading., nor does it acquire the legal incidents of freight. It is in effeCt money to be paid for taking the goods on b oar d an d un d er t a ki ng to carry, and not for carrying them. Having alluded to the inconveniences of establishing a lien, in proof of which was adduced the case of a master of a vessel who would not not on her arrival know whether the freight had been paid, and would be uncertain "whether to deliver up • the goods, his lordship proceeded to ex amine the cases previously .alluded to, which the Courts of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas had decided. Their lordships having again carefully examined the law they had laid down in "How and Kirchner " with the most earnest desire to correct their view of it if erroneous, were still of poitanco to the interest and mercantile law should be determined upon broad principles and not turn upon nice diAinetions. Their lordships therefore preferred to rest their decision on the ground that where parties, instead of trusting to the general rule of law with respect to freight, had made a special contract for them selves for a payment which was not freight, it must depend ;ems of that contrac whet' al did or did not exist; and that When the contract gave no lien, , the law would not supply one by _implication. For these reasons their lordships were of Opinioli that unless the con tract in this case could be extended by the Usage of the so as to has in effect which in 1. lite ground upon which it appeared to their lordships that this cause must be decided in favour of the appellant vac that where evidenee of the usage of a particular ply admitted to add to, or in any manner to affect the construc tion of a written contract, it was admitted only on the ground ace was itself it did not b, Palm c Taloa : Some business done at 53s 6d for South American.
