A inipplerment to Friday night's Gaulle contain
a lengthy correspondenee between Mr. Adams and our
Foreign Minister. The correspondence chiefly relates
to the Shenandoah. In his last letter, h .wever,
Mr. Adams iumounces that the Government of the
United States decline the propoaal of Berl Russell for
• commission to settle certain disputes; and the Earl
of Clarendon, In his last letter, declines any longer to
discos. with Mr. Adams abstruse questions of interna-
tional law. Virtually the question of the claims on
Ragland is suspended.
Tus .Fnarrana. On Friday O'Callaghan Holmes
O'Reardon, late captain in the Federal army, and for-
merly sergeant-m*4ov in the 10th Hussars, with which
corps he served in the Crimea, was acquitted. Alexan-
der Nicholls pleaded 'Guilty," and was let out on

FATAL °OCT:TERENCE AT WEYMOUTH.
On Saturday morning last some lightermen dim.
covered the body of a man in the Backwater, at
Weymouth, nearly opposite the New Bridge Inn.
It was at first supposed from the blue dress,
to be the body of a sailor, but, on being got out, it
was at once recognised as that of Mn Thomas Bow-
ditch, of Broadway. It seems that Mr. Bowditch,
who was a pig butcher, attended Weymouth market
am usual on Friday, and appeared to be in his ac-
customed health and spirits during the day. At

about qnarter before nine o'olook et night he went

to the Prince of •Wales, Park-street, and called for
half-a-pint of beer. Mr. Dibdin, the landlord, in
the °cane of oonvereation, which was of but few
'minutes duration, perceived that he was very intoxi-
cated, too much so to take proper care of himself,
though not insensibly drtok. Me Said he had parted
with hi* horse and carts and should ride
home by the mail.. Mr. Dibdeo, on looking
tip _ at the dock, told him be oould not

go by thag as the mail cart was about up to Broad-
way already. He then said he would try and go
%dine by some other conveyance, and left, bidding
the landlord good night. This, so far as the police
have been able to ascertain, was the last time he was
teen alive. Mr. Dibdin states that he had seen the
deceased drunk so frequently, and even worse than
he wroui on Friday blett, that it did not occur to him
to obtain anyone to take dare of him, although he
olearly perceived he was not in a fit state to go home
to Froadway by himself. It seems not improbable
that the deceased,. after leaving the Prince of Wales,
went down to the Backwater, and after walking
along the tramway some distance fell in, and it
being high tide at the time, *A dtoirtied. He had
12e. sbd. ice his pookat whOn found.

POCKET PICKING AT PORTLAND.
A girl named Sarah Neale, and her mother, Elisa•

by*. Neale, were charged before H. Williams, Esq.,
Saturday, with stealing a parse containing 12s.
and some coppers, belonging to Mrs. Fraser. Prose-
entrix missed the puree when at Mr. Cesser's (draper),
and found the child had it in her boeom. Both went
to Mrs. Neale, when she said the purse was hers,
and refused to give it up. Now she said one child
found it in the street, but threw it down again, and
thee her daughter picked it up. Both were com-
mitted for triaL
