~_ AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA The British and.. North American royal mail steamer Africa, Capt. Shannon, arrived iathe Mersey yesterday forenoon, from New York, with dates to the 24th ultimo, bringing 1,122,050 dollars in specie, and 79 passengers. The steamship Persia, which left the Mersey on the evening of the 12th of July, reached New York at seven o'clock on the morning of the 23rd, after a passage of ten days and ahalf. The Errieson t 'which sailed three days before her, had not arr ; ;ved. 'The papers now to hand are four days IP.Aer than those previously received, but thty ar e alm os t wholly destitute of news of intoi.est to readers on this side of the Atlantic. The commercial accnunts continue highly satis- factory. In ant. ; .eipation of an abundant harvest in Europe, a strong feeling prevailed that the exports of breadattiffs from New York would fall off, and that in. consequence there would be even larger sl'....ipruents of specie than have been going forward for sometime past. Lower prices for all descriptions of grain were looked for pris e of flour during the week ending July 22, declined from 25 to 35 cents per barrel, whilst wheat remained without change. The Money 2vlarket continued remarkably easy, notwithstand ing there had been a steady demand for capital, The last return of the New York Banks showed an accumulation of specie quite unexpected, being 530,000 dollars increase over the previous week. Loans on call were readily negotiated at six per 'cent. The Stock Market was tolerably active, and with the easy state of the money market, prices had an upward tendency. The demand for Ex change on London for remittance by the Africa was rather limited, and quotations were barely so high as those last reported. The most current rates were from 1091 to 110. The cotton market was rather firmer, and although no actual advance had been made in quotations, holders held' off for an advance of an eighth of a cent per pound. The market, too, had been kept for two days in quies cent state,' in anticipation of the receipt of the European accounts taken out by the Persia. The dry goods market had been more active, and quite a movement had taken place in goods generally. Some importers were unwilling to sell at current rates. In Washington and New York there had been quite an excitement ' growing out of an affair of honour, between Col. Preston S. Brooks, of Sono., -Carolina, and the Hon. Anson Burlingame, o f Massachusetts, growing out of th e a t tac k , upon affair are that Col. Brooks desp a t c h e d ' den. Lane to Mr. Burlingame to enquire where, and when a meeting should take place, urging, that afternoon or the next morning as a favo' ,cable ti me. M r. Burlingam e responded by deF• b Agnatina the Clifton House, Ni agara Falls, at n' - place and time. • !Übe - 'Jon 011 Saturday, as the Brooks un til a late I poply did not reach Col. the matter rested the until ten ...o .l ur on Monday - t ni iht: So t o . c2oc f lt on F Tues . daj _ forenoon, when, • Treadwell, of I': lew York, Col. g a B t i.o o n ols was r. arrestedrancis by the police, 4 ,:alten before a magistrate, and required to give B `..eeurity in five thousand dollars to keep the peace: Mr. Burlingame's whereabouts are not kr -own, but it is presumed that he set out for Niagara to fulfil his appointment. Colonel Brooks, in a statement to the public, gives his version of The circumstances under which the quarrel origi nated, and its progress up•to the time when, by the interference of Mr. Treadwell, hostilities were brought .to an abrupt termination. From this 'statement it appears that General Lane regarded the proposition of Mr. Burlingame as a mere 'subterfuge, and thereupon advised his principal to take no further notice of the matter. Colonel Brooks, however, holds himself ready to meet his antagonist, .whenever invited_ so to do. . . Gen. Gadsden has resigned his post as Minister Ito Mexico, and Mr. Forsyth, editor of the Mobile Register, has been appointed in his place. Advices from Kingston, Canada West, dated the 18th of July, report that the propeller Tinto was burned the previous night off Nine Mile Point, and is a total wreck. About twelve persons were lost, among them Captain Campbell and a Mr. Renderson. The purser and twelve of the crew were saved. - -••• A Washington correspondent, under date of the oth ult., writes that " the Secretary of State has addressed a letter to the Governor of California, informing him that the Federal Government can not interfere against the Vigilance Committee until requested by the Legislature of California, or until that body shall be unable to act in consequence of the insurrection: This is understood to be in accordance with an opinion given by the Attorney General. The Administration, however, sympa thises with the Governor against the Vigilance Committee. A terrible and fatal riot occurred at New Orleans on the 12th ultimo, at a ball given by tho Sham rock Society. A young man named Thomas Barry was killed, and another, named Alexander McDonnell was wounded. An alrercation amongst some men in the back part of the room was the 'first evidence of what occurred at two o'clock; immediately after a general fight ensued, At this time the hall is represented as particularly wild and terrible, the men being mixed up in a general melee, or striving to preserve peace ; the ladies, some screaming, some terrified, and others bravely seeking their friends ; knives glittering, and shouts of the combatants, made up a scene shocking to behold. We have dates from Havana to the 17th of July. The American ship War Hawke bad arrived from St. Helena with 569 Asiatics under the usual fictitious contracts for eight years service. The vessel was put in quarantine for twenty-four hours. "610 subjects were put on b o a r d o f th e vessel ; 42 killed themselves by jumping overboard, or with poison, always secreted about their persons; one or two died of disease usual on board of a crowded vessel. Considerable excitement prevailed in consequence of the serious illness of General Concha, who was labouring under an attack of typhoid fever. The sugar market was very active, and freights were low.

The receipts for the week have been 2,070 bales; during the same time last year they were 6,000 bales, HAVANA, Wednesday, July 16, 1856.—Sinea 14th ult., date of our last report, business has continued to be active. *SVGA.RS have been in constant demand at steadily advancing prices, owing to favourable advices received from Europe and the United States, and to the well-founded apprehensions entertained of a large deficiency of this year's crop, as com pared to the yield of 1855. We note sale on contract of 3,500 boxes of fair quality with but few whites for next crop, at 21 dole 75c, the purchaser advancing 30,000 dots, cash, Without interest, and we understand that negotiations are pending for contracting next year's crops from several estates.

We have received the Liberia Herald of the 21st of May, which announces the arrival at Monrovia of the government schooner Lark, from Grand Cape Mount, with President Benson on Board. His Excellency, it appears, has been absent affecting a personal adjustment of hostilities existing between two neighbouring native tribes, "the Zarror people and the Vey ;" and his neg , ciations are said tohave been cue eesgful. It is estimated that there have been no less than 100,000 natives killed and sold oat of the Vey country, and these predatory wars have been the great productive cause of the slave trade in that region. One article, headed" Oar country," urges the importance of a more strict attention to agriculture, as a basis for true rational prosperity ; but propounds the somewhat communist doctrine, that as success in farming cannot be expected from individual enterprise alone, the State "should take hold of it as the nine-tenth part of her existence," and devote capital to the purpose. PUERTO RICO Correspondence from Puerto Rico, to the 29th ult, pub lished in the Havana Diario de la Marina, announces the re-appearance of the cholera under very unexpected circum stances. " The people had just congratulated themselves on its entire abatement, the inhabitants of Hurnaco and Vieques especially were congratulating themselves on the success with which they had combated the scourge with a cordon sanitaire, and auccessrullY escaped from being visited by a single case, and all were preparing to celebrate the feast of St. John—the principal one observed in the island —with the greatest hilarity, when it broke out again, choosing Humacae and Vieques for its first victims, but also appearing at Yabucoa. As these places are all in the neighbourhood of the richest and most populous agricultural districts, and not far from Gaavama, which had suffered severely from a disastrous conflagra: tion at the beginning of last month, or from Ponce, the second city of the island, it will readily be understood that the greatest consternation has been caused b, the re-appearance of the epidemic. To this calamity the Puerto Rivuenos had another added. A very fatal disease was destroying their cattle in great numbers. It was commonly called the " Cattle Cholera," (Coleoa de los bueyos.) The animals attacked became hydrophobic, frothed, or slavered at the mouth, lost their teeth anidied—perhaps more from the consequent manition, it was thought, than from the actual disease. The loss by the fire at Guayama, above alluded to is estimated at 200,000 dole, some forty stores and houses have been thstreyed by it. The place has become notorious for periodical conflagrations, whether accidently caused or l‘ilfully as the one now under notice is said to have been ; aad the only wonder is that when one does break out, the whole place is not utterly consumed • for while all the houses are of wood, roofed w ith shingles, there is not a single fire engine in it. In the midst of these misfortunes, the abundance of the crops, and the high prices produce was bringing, afforded same consolation ; and it was hoped that the coolie immigration, which has been sanctioned by the government, would do much to still furih'r increase the productiveness of the island. The city of San Juan had just been lighted with gas, greatly of course to the c mvenierce and satisfaction of the inhabitants. The gas was being manufactured from the wood of a very common tree of the island called tabanueo, hitherto used for no other purpose,notwithstanding its magni tude and importance, than to furnish torches which served the poor instead of candles. The gas undertaking is therefore justly regarded as a double benefit to the country. It is said that the plaza of San Juan was to be lighted by an immense jet of this gas. The Captain-general D. Jose Lemery, had been decorated with the cross of commander of the legion of. honour, by Louis Napoleon, on account of the services his father has rendered to France, his native country, and to Napoleon Bonaparte.—. New Orleans Picayune, July 15. THE AMERICAN COTTON CROP We subjoin a number of paragraphs from various papers touching the cotton crop in America : Tn RECENT SEVERE STORM IN ARKANBAS.—The Cam den Herald, of the Bth ult , in referring to its former account of the very severe storm which passed over the section of country lying jest south of that place on the evening of the 29:h June, says :—At the time we made the announcement, we were aware that some of our neighbouring farmers had sustained con siderable injury, but did not dream of the wild havoc it has really made among the lands and crops of those who were unfortunately exposed to its fury. Nor did we then have the least idea of the extent of country over which the storm passed. As far, in a south-westerly direction, as Leake's store it prevailed with unabated fury, and with the same disastrous result to the property lying in its track. The crops of many of the farmers will be entirely lost, and large tracts of excellent woodland, that only awaited the ordinary process of clearing, to richly reward the labour of the husbandman, have been literally ruined and rendered valueless by the wholesale uprooting of trees. It is impossible, from what we can hear, to form even a remote estimate of the loss the country has sustained. Suffice it to say that the country for ten or twelve miles south, and from twenty to twenty five miles southwest of Camden, has received injuries from this storm that it will take years to recover from. WEATHER AND CROPS IN ARKANSAS.—The Little Rock Gazette, of the 17th ult., says :—The weather has been unusally cool for the season, and rather unfavourable to farmers. The cut worm has been bad, and in some places has commenced on the cotton. DAMAGE TO TII& COTTON CROP..—The late heavy rains in some portions of South Carolina have done much mischief. A high freshet in Wateree river has destroyed the entire crop of many planters in Richland and Sumpter districts, and it is too late in the season to replant cotton. THE CROPS ON RED RtyEn.—We had a slight shower yesterday evening, but we think it did not extend over the Parish. Rain is much needed here and in other parts of the Red River country. A gentleman who last week travelled by land from Bayou Sara to thi s place informs us that the cotton and cane in Pointe Conpee, and in tlio country along Boyou de Glaiso, 13:tyhcolifi and Baycu iiouc-e, are both very poor, suffering 'from drougth, and arica choked by grass. The cotton Was affected. by lice, auddh 3 stand was bad.—Alexandria American, 7trt tat. DAMAGE' DONE BY LATE RAINS IN Mississippi.--The Jackson Flag of the Union, says: - The late , rains have entirely inundated the farms of several or our planting friends in Holmes, Carroll, Yallobusha, and adjacent counties. Many farms have been so dreadfully washed that their value is very much impaired. S-veral cotton crops in the latter county have been entirely ruined. Cnors.—The corn and cotton crops in the lower parts of Georgia, are represented to be in a most unpromising condition. The early and protracted drought has left them with bad stands. The replanting has suffered from too much rain, and grass was never more flourishing. Crops are broken or irregular, and with the most propi• tious season from this time on, and a late frost, the planters must lose at least one-third of their usual yield. THE COTTON CROP IN ALABAMA.—The Montgomery Mail, says :—We continue to hear unfavourable ac• counts of growing cotton. The heavy planters are very much dispirited about their crops.. The com plaint is chiefly as to bad stands, and the feeble backward condition of the plant. The NN eattter has been very unfavourable for ten days, the nights having a very chilling effect. In many localities, considerable injury has been done by hail. DAMAGE BY LATE HEAVY RAINS IN SOUTH CARO LINA.--The Columbia Times,' says: We learn that the heavy fall of water has done much and serious injury to the land and crops throughout the country, by washing and other wise. The sudden rise. in the water courses, overflowing the banks, hemming in small streams, has not only done injury to embankments, but in many instances the deposits of the barn yard and stables, and the rich covering for late crops, have been swept off, thus in a night, blasting the hopes of the husbandman who was diligently toiling to produce and reap the fruits of a rich harvest. from the United States to Great Ist September, 1855 : Britain and Ireland since Brls. 1 Bush.

MONEY AND STOCKS : Under the influence of the abundance of money, and the favourable financial and political advices from England, tl , e activity of . tl,e stock market and improving tendency of prices, notic cl in our last report of Bth instant, continued until 12th instant, when Erie railroad stock sold at 651, Illinois Central railroad stock at 103 ; construction bonds at 95, and freeland bonds, with privilege, at 100. The foreign orders for these, and some other descriptions of securities, were apparently large, and the domestic demand was also more active than it had been for some time previous. Since that date the transactions have become less important. Prices have generally.. receded from the highest points, and, in some instances, the quotations herewith are lower than those given in our last prices current. The check to the upward movement was produced by the firmness of foreign exchanges and conse quent large shipments of gold, which 'led to an apprehension that a system of curtailment may shortly be adopted by the banks in this city—the l ate'returns.showing a rapid reduction., of their specie balances, while the loans and discounts continue to increase. As yet, however, there are no symptoms of a diminished supply of money, and the export,of gold last week being considered less than was anticipated, a slight advance in prices has taken place, and the market closes firm, although the transactions for the' last three 'days have been compalatively limited. There has been a fair business in State stocks during in Virginia and Mi ssour i 6 s, w i t h the fortnight, p r incipally generally but slight fluctuations, Ohio 6s have bad an upward tendency, 1,360 a selling at 1011- to 102, and 1,870 s at 104 tnlo6, closing. 106 bid.

Mr. Waudsey; who officiated for Mr. John Kynalton, Prime Warden, presided; and among the company were Viscount Palmerston, K.G., the Earl of Fortescue, K.G., Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood, the wght Hon. Dr. Lushington, the Hon. J. P. Locke King, M.P., Mr. E. Ball, M.P., Mr. B. Oliveira, M.P., &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the thrae watermen who had gained the first, second, and third prizes for Doggett's coat and badge were introduced by the Fishmongers' Barge-master. Having taken their places in front of the Prime Warden, the Barge-master was asked if the match had been fairly won, and the answer being in the affirma tive, a few words of compliment and encouragement were expressed by the Warden to the principal winner, G. W. Everson, accompanied by a !note weleome present of a bottle of port wine for himself and another for his "gal," as he called her in reply to the question, Have ye t i a w if e or sweetheart? The same agreeable ceremony passed in reference to the other two, each having a " gal" to receive the second bottle of wine, and this part of the business being terminated, The Chairman proposed " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers." (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston rose to acknowledge the toast amid great cheering. He said t Mr. Prime Warden, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—l beg, for myself and colleagues, to return you our most sincere thanks for the kind manner in which you have been pleased to propose our healths, and the flattering manner in which you, gentlemen, have had the kindness to receive it. I assure you, gentlemen, that nothing can be dearer to the hearts of her Majesty's government than to receive such proofs, and expressions as it has been my good fortune now to witness of the good 'will and good opinion of large bodies of our fellow-country men. The Prime Warden has been kind enough to speak in very handsome terms of the conduct of her Majesty's government during the arduous period of time which has just elapsed ; and, as far as constant study and the zeal ous devotion of our whole time and thoughts and energy to the public service may entitle us to your good opinion, we flatter ourselves that in that respect we have deserved it. (Cheers.) The part which any govern ment in this country has to perform in a difficult time is an easy one indeed, and the more difficult the circumstances the easier is the task they have to dis charge, because there never was a period in which a nation displayed such a noble determination and such an honourable public spirit—such a determination to unite and to afford to those who have to conduct public affairs every possible means for vindicating the national honour and asserting the -national rights—as the British nation has manifested at the present thee. There never was a period, too, at which the country has been ruled by a Sovereign who has sympathised more with the people she governed, or who was more ready to give hand and thought with them in the common cause. (Hear, hear.) There fore the task that has fallen during the late war to the government has been perfectly easy. They have only had to accept the means that a generous people have placed at their disposal, and to direct that gallant army and navy which have been ready and competent to undertake any thing that human nature could enable them to achieve. (Hear.) My hon. friend the Prime Warden has adverted to the terms of peace. I think that they have been found satisfactory, and that the more they have been reflected upon, the more they have been found to accomplish all the legitimate objects for which the war was undertaken. (Hear, hear.) My hon. friend has touched upon some topics which were calculated to excite regret rather than satisfaction—of causes which we were unable to advocate, of interests which we were unable to serve; but however the generous feelings of the nation may point to sufferings which they might wish to relieve, or miseries which they might wish to put an end to, yet in human affairs we must consider what we are able to do, and we must not be led on, even in a loyal and generous spirit. to attempt ends which we are not able to accomplish. And it may be necessary to remember that, in attempting things that are beyond our means; we may be attempting impossiblities which may do more harm than good to those whom we may seek to serve. Gentlemen, it is gratifying to me to feel that I am an honorary member of this ancient corporat ion- I cannot boast of any other c3nnection with this corn . pa.ny ; but it is a satisfaction to me to think that I am a member of an association which has reckoned among its members some of the most distinguished men who have been the ornaments of this country, and which has been remarkable for its liberality of opinion and its constitu tional principles at a time when examples of this liberality were not so frequent as at the present day. It is needless to remind those who are your guests to-day that this asso ciation, independent of its great antiquity and merits, is one of the best landlords to be found in the sister country. (Cheers.) There is no society which has administered a great property in Ireland in a more benevolent spirit to its tenantry—which has expended its revenues in a more enlightened spirit for the improvement and advancement of those who live upon its estates, and which has, there fore, been more entitled to the aclmirantion of the country. I may also be permitted to say that circumstances con nected with the present moment render the present invi tation more particularly agreeable to some of us. 'We who are members of the house of parliament sit at a table not so well stored with things refreshing to the mind and body as we find here—(laughter)—and we sit also for hours, days, and nights in an assembly which is not quite so unanimous as that which I have now the honour to ad dress. (Laughter.) But finding value in contrast, and with every possible respect for that assembly—of which I can only speak handsomely since they have, during this great struggle, behaved as honourably and as nobly as the people they represent; yet I must say that the occu pations of this evening are fully as agreeable as those in which we have recently spent so many hours. The noble viscount concluded by proposing " The Health of the Prime Warden," which was drunk with every mark of respect. The Prime Warden returned thanks, and proposed the toast of " The City of London, its Corporation, and Com- merce." Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Rose acknowledged the toast. aay we E EMIGR&TION FROM LIVERPOOL DURING JULY, The emigration statistics collected by Captain Schom berg and his officials during the past month, exhibit an increase in the number of emigrants of about 3,000, as compared with the corresponding eight months of last year.

Patrick Ring, who had been acquitted on the charge of attempt to murder but was convicted of an assault upon a child, as reported in our paper of Saturdry, was brought up to receive sentence. Mr. Justice Cresswell, addressing the prisoner, said f--Patrick king, I. have to discharge a most painful duty in passing Sentence upon a clergyman of the Church of England for a very serious misdemeanour indeed. From the wording of the indictment, which charges you with a common assault, it might seem of a► trivial "character, because there was no bruise or bodily harm inflicted upon this infant.; but, when the nature o f the assault is considered—that it involved the exposure of that child by the side of a road, the desertion of that child, and that you must have been acting either without the consent of the ►bother or as agent to a wicked mother in deserting that child, and leaving it on a public road.--the offence assumes a very serious aspect.. One can raney the strong feeling which may have Misled you on the occa sion ; but. if we are not led to expect from a dlergyman of the Church of England that he can resist temptation such as that of commit lug an offence of a )ect of t hose who, without ed religious instruction. opted to ecr )g with infan children in such a mans: possible rtinftner the duty which I feel incumbent on me in .chirge in the light s I do, to imprisonment in the gaol' of The prisoner then bowed sentencing you this county for six mon„ and retired. CONVICTION FOR MURDER At the Bodmin assi2ea, on Thursday, William Nevan was convicted for the wilful murder of Benjamin Robinson, at Saltash, on the Ist of June. The circum stances of the case appeared to be these :—Deceased was serjeant-major of the guard on board the Runnymede convict ship, and the prisoner was a corporal under him. For several months there would appear to have been a strong feeling existing in the mind of the prisoner against the serjeant-major, who was a smart and active officer, and he had found it necessary to remonstrate with those under him if they 'neglected their duty, and among whers he had found it his duty to remon strate with the prisoner. Thes - i remonstrances pro duced a strong effect on the mind of the prisoner, and he had been heard to say that if he found fault with him he would put a bullet in his musket, and put it ino him. On the afternoon of Sunday, the Ist of June, the serjeant-major bad the men on parade, and examined their firelocks, &c. It was the duty of the men after this inspection to take their fire! s down below ; they were loaded, but not capped. After the inspection on the afternoon of the Ist of June, arid after the'other men had gbnc below, the prisoner for some reason remained on deck, with his firelock in his band, and he was seen to put a cap upon it. The serjeant major then told the prisoner to call a man named Sullivan. The prisoner called Sullivan, who came up and went towards the sergeant•major, who was on the poop The prisoner followed Sullivan, and went, up the poop ladder, and then placed his musket on his hip, levelled it at the sergeant-major, - and fired. The ball struck the sergeant-major in the abomen. Ile exclaimed, "Oh, God ! I am shot," and fell dead. The prisoner ran down the poop ladder, where he was seized. He said, " Let me go, I have done it, but T was drove to it." The same afternoon the prisoner stated to an inspector of the police, " If I did it, it was an accident; I did not know my gun went off at first. It caught the hencoop, and went off by accident ; but the serjeant—major threatened be would get nay pension taken away. At the time it was done I was not rigt. At times Ido not know what I do." The prisoner afterwards said to a man named Richardson," You have been the cause of this." The above are the facts as proved in evidence by the witnesses who were called on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Baron Martin then summed up, calling upon the jury to decide this important case entirely upon the evidence. They had heard the witnesses and seen their demeanour. The jury having retired for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty. Ou hearing this, the prisoner looked upwards, and, clasping his hands together, uttered some words appa rently of prayer, and just afterwards, audibly breathed the words, " Lord, have mercy upon me ! " The judge, who was deeply. affected, proceeded to. say—l do not see bow any other verdict could be returned. Ido not mean to pain your mind by any lengthened address. Yo❑ mast be conscious that it was wrong to take the life of another, and what the legal consequences were. A document has been forwarded to me from the town of Tuam, of which I suppose you are a native. I refer to it only to say to you take no advantage from it, but make us of the short time you have to live in preparing to die. I shall. forward the document to the Home Secretary to take the Queen's pleasure on it, but I do not think there is anything in the statement to induce the Secre tary of State to interfere in the case, and I therefore wish and urge upon yon to prepare for that fate which awaits you, and to embrace that assistance which I know will he readily afforded you in this county for that purpose. The learned judge then passed sentence in the usual form, and on coming to the words, " and may the Lord have mercy on your soul !" his voice rtltered, and it was with considerable difficulty his lordship completed the sentence. The prisoner again clasped his hands and uttered the words " Lord have mercy on my soul." lie was then removed from the dock. EQUITY COURTS. RE DEANE AND YOULE, BasicattPrs.—On Friday the Lords Justices of Appeal delivered judgment in thi s case; Which was argued on the 7th July, by Mr. Cairns' Q.C., and Mr. De G :It, for the appellant, and Mr Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland, for the respondents. The appeal was from the decision of Mr. Commissioner Perry, of the Liverpool district, disallowing a proof tendered under the following circumstances :—George Deane and F. Youle were merchants trading at Liverpool .under the style of Deane, Youle, and Company ; they also, jointly with A. P. Youle, carried on business at Pernambuco under the same style. The Pernambuco firm were in the habit of sending consignments of goods to the Liverpool firm, which goods were paid for by bills drawn by the Pernambuco firm, and accepted by the Liverpool firm. The claim of the petitioner was in respect of certain bills thus drawn and accepted, and of which he was the holder as ag ent of the Brazilian government. Th e b an k ru pt cy of the Liverpool firm occurred in November, 1854, and in 1855 the Pernambuco house having become insolvent, took the Preece lings which, under the Brazilian law, were requisite for the distribution of their assets amongst their. creditors. Under these proceedings the petitioner had received a dividend or dividends upon the amount of the bills in his hands, and he also sought to prove against the Liverpool house in respect of the same bills. Mr. Commissioner Perry disallowed the proof, whence the present appeal. Lord Justi.:te Knight Bruce said that though the members of the Liverp )ol firm were also members of the Pernam buco firm, the two firms were separate and distinct firms; the bills being drawn by the latter firm and accepted by the former in the ordinary course of business. The peti tioner became the holder of the bills for valuable con sideration, whether with or without notice that the members of the Liverpool firm were also memberS of the Pernambudo firm, was in his (his lordship's) opinion immaterial. Treating the case upon that assumption, his opinion, differing from those of the commissioner and of his learned brother, was in favour of the petitioner. Lord Justice Turner said he was of opinion that what took - place in the Brazils amounted to the bankruptcy of the Pernambuco firm, and that the question of proof against the Liverpool firm was to be disposed of accord ing to the English law ; and he thought himself bound by the state of the authorities upon the question of notice to refuse that double proof. Their lordships having thus taken different views upon the question before them the appeal was dismissed, but without coots. NEW ACT ON COUNTY COURTS.-= On Friday the 'hew act to amend the acts relating to the County Courts, which received the royal assent on the prorogation, was printed: The act will come into operation on the Ist ofOctober next, except the provision relating to framing a scale of costs, and making rules and orders of practice and forrasof proceeding, which are at once to take effect. There are eighty-six sections in the act, and several schedules. In the latter are the fees to be received, and also the names of the judges to receive £1,500a year —eighteen at £1,500 and two at £1,350. An important alteration is made in respect of judgment by default. In cases Where the demand cloca'nbt 'exceed £2O the plaintiff may reqUire the defendant to give notice in 'writing of his intention to defend, or otherwise judgment will go by default without giving any,proof of his claim. Where an action of contract is broughtin one of thesuperior courts to recover a sum not exceeding £2O, and the defendant in the ac ion' suffers judgment by default, the plaintiff shall recover no costs unless upon an application to such court or to 4 jgdge, as such court or judge sh a ll ot h erwise direct. The Lord Chancellor is empowered to appoint five county court judges to frame rules and orders forregulating the practice. When a judgment does not exceed £2O, the judge may order payment by instalments; in other cases the consent of plaintiff is necessa r y. Th e 49t h sectionis of cpnsiderable importance. If a judge of a Fuoetior i c , urt , shall be satisfied that a p arty again i t whom judgment amount exceeding ',L2O, exclu s i ve of costs oaineil 7 a na ll ; county court, has no goo d s or chattels to satisfy the same, he may order a writ cf certiorari to issue to remove the judgment into one of the superior courts, and " when removed it shall h ave the same force and effect, and the same proceedings mar be taken thereon as in the case of a judgment of such. superior court, but no aciien shall be brought upon such judgment." The salaries of theljedges are to be paid out of the consolidated fund, aid the travel ling expenses 'out of money toted by pirlianiont, POLICE COURT.-SATURRDAY. (BEFORE MR. HENN.) CAUGHT AT LAST.— George Brown, Edward Connor Smith, and Mary Anne Walker, persons dressed in first.. rate style, were brought up by detectives Thompson, Povey, and Pa'Cullocb, under the following circumstances : Thompson said, in consequence of the number of garotte robberies committed in the streets recently, he and the other officers went out to look for the suspected persons. They saw the pr7s3ners, whom they knew to be very bad charac ters, in Lord street, and, after some time, they separated at the clrner of Whitechapel. They then watched the woman, who is commonly called " Hookey Walker," in reference to her trade of hooking in gentlemen at night, who might have imbibed too much " beer." She met a gentleman in Castle.street, and, after some time, she induced him to go into the "yellow house" in Dale-street, where she remained far some time ' ld then came to the door and waved a hand kerchief, when the two tll2ll immediately appeared from the other side of the stret. The gentleman then came out of the house and went up a passage with the female, when the other prisoners went up afyr them, and then the officers d the whole of them. Inspector isoners were well-known thieves, and ied in a den in Belt Jonson street, where all th e thieves in Liverpool were educated. Several other officers gave the prisoners a character, that could not be . mistaken, and f r om a report of Bridewell - keePer Campbell, it appeared that the prisoners had been several times in custody and convicted. The men used to go out as bludgetters" after women who The woman was cautioned and discharged; men were sent to mite' for three months.

These re proved to be " bludgt;tters," and Bowes and the woman the man Tudor was can= tioned and discharged. The police at,ted, that four garotte robberies had been committed with vit;'.lence, during the week, and they had no doubt the prisoners an others were concerned in them, al'hough they had no direct prOof of It.: Several other " suspicious" persons were sent to g2, - ,91 also, so that the town will be rid of them for some time at 1..?a8t, A FORTUNE . _ n AND A FOOL.—CURIOUS CASE.—' Anne Jones, alias Sarah Harris (an ominous name), who was described as " a fortune teller," residing in Porter s.ed by Mr. William Wood, the owner of the -ent road, with having obtained 2s 61 by 4ations, fronthis wife, by pretending re r his fortune.

Wood would soon have an addition to her domestic circle by the unit of a child. She told a paCk of lies of this sort to Mrs. Wood, which caused anything but pleasantness between him and his wife, although, of course, it was all untrue. She obtained 2s Gd from his - wife . Tor "the vile story, and when he heard it, he gave her in _charge. Mrs. Wood stated, that some time g!nce she lost a brooch, and she su3peoted that her servant had it. This the servant denied, and said the prisoner would tell her who had it. She' then sent for the priconer. - Mr. Wvbergh : you sent' for her, did you ? Yes, sir. Mrs. Wood then told long' story, but it: was hardly audible. From what could be heard, it seemed she told the story about the child, and rainy other things in that way, and wanted a good deal lof money, but she only gave her the 23 6d. - In reply to Mr. Goodier, who defended the prisoner, the witness said she went to the house of the prisoner twice; she admitted hating Oren her some drink, but did not drink with her; the girl told her to go to the prisoner.

Mr. Berry , appeared for the complainant. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the new hands were much annoyed by those who had been discharged, and on the pre( ding S Aunt ay night complainant was going h9me when by a number of men and assaulted; The attack that before he could recover himself; soaped, and he was only enabled td For the tlefence it was alleged thA during the previous week, the complainant had insulted the defendant's mother.

We understand that this statement referred to the man, George Holmes, examined on suspicion, but against whom no tangible evi dence was produced, and who was last week sentenced to imprisonment for two 3 ears, having been found guilty of robbing and nearly killing by strangulation a young girl in themeighbourhood of the scene of the Ilkley murder..— .Dumfries Courier.
