COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

--- - _
Sittings in Bunn —(Before the Lord Chief Baron and
Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.)
lIELLOI V. =APPLE.
Mr. Brett, Q.C., moved for a rule to set aside ea ceder
indis by Mr. Justice Shoo for a commission to take evidenos
at Alusadria. The action was brought_ to recover 5,0004,
**value of a quantity of cotton which was skipped oe
hoard the d.tendante vessel under an ordinary bill of
lading, sod stood for trial at the last anima, at Liverpool.
Before Mr. Justice Moe came into court an
application was made to him to postpone the
trial, en the ground that a person named Grain,
Woo evidence was material, was at Alexandria,
sad to great a comminion for Ids examinatioo. The learned
Jags therenpos made the order in question, which post-
Toned the trial until the return of the commissioe, but did
sot specify when that commission should return or Impose
say other torahs. The learned waned said he had affidavits
slating that Oren was sow in England, that the commiurion
had sot yet bees drawn up, and that the plaintiff believed
that it had only been obtained for the purpose of delay.
Ts. cotton, it appeared, was loaded on the deck of the de
feadmit's vessel, and for the safety of the ship during the
voyage, had to be throws overboard. The plaintiff claimed
damages on the ground that the cotton was lost solely
in consequenes of improper stowage ; but the de
fondant's case was that the cotton was placed on deck with
the knowledge and consent of the shipper at Alexandria.
The defendant relied upon a consignment note, bat Mr.
Brett said he was prepared to show that this note, which
was a printed paper, was filled up as a mere matter of form,
and °odd not override the bill of lading.
The court granted a rule nisi, to vary or rewind the order
of Mr. Jostles Shen

PRODUCTION or '‘ L'AFRD:AINR."—A telegram
from Paris, dated last night, says :—" Meyerbear's opera,
L'Africaine, was produced to-night, in the premises of the
Emperor, who wan very cordially welcomed. The opera has
achieved en extraordinary success, Sax and Faure distin-
guishing themselves especially, sad the famous shipwreck
scene creating an immense 'emetics."
The Temps says that one of the brothers Booth
pawed some time in Paris two years ago, and was known as
a fanatical seoessioeirt.
The Timer says :—" Abraham Lincoln was as
little of a tyrant as any man who ever lived. He could
have been a tyrant had he pleased, but he never uttered so
much as an ill-matured speech. The civil war was attended
by all war's owe honors in too many instasoes, but there
was no cruelty st Washington or New York—hardly any
prolonged or unaccountable severity. In the whole of this
sanctuary strife, notwithstanding the exasperation of -la,
popular feeling, there has been err political bloodthirstineas. Ilk
Fanatical speakers have given vent to their passions on the at,':4
platform, hut violence never went beyond words. If the
110,1 t
people of the seceding States were rebels, as the people of ::.,,
the North chose to consider them, never was rebellion, ex- ism
rapt on the field of battle, more gently handled." 11.1
A correspondent of the Tones says that Wilkes ILI
Booth, at the time when the Slave States wens so direfully ill
alarmed by John Brown, the abolitionist, volunteered into la(
the army which captured Brown; and Booth was one of 211
thosewho surrounded the gallows on which Brown was ex. ro,
~,
routed on the 2nd of Deeember, 1859. He was a thorough Mt
partisan of the slave isterest. DM

sms, though only a few weeks have elapsed since he ob-
tained his certificate under the former bankruptcy. Bat
