The resolution was tabled by a vote 25 to 12.

A resolution has been offered and laid over
recommending the immediate trial of Messrs.
Davis and Clay by military commission.
All the volunteer troops in the department of
Virginia have been mustered out.
The report in the American journals that the
Federal troops would be withdrawn from Alabama
and Georgia was unauthorised. General Grant,
in replying to an application for their withdrawal,
does not recommend such a step until there is
ample security for the protection of all classes in
the late rebellious States. He doubts the pro-
priety of arming the militia while the Federal
troops remain in the South.
The Federal adjutant in Mississippi has revoked
the order disarming the negroes.
The Treasury agents in Charleston have arrested
the principal officials and seized the books and
assets of several blockade-running companies
organised during the war. They have forbidden
them to dispose of their assets, and the matter bas
been referred to Washington for adjudication.
The Federal troops have recaptured the steamer
Lily, taken by outlaws on the Alabama river.
Seventy-five bales of government cotton had been
landed, and the outlaws had expressed their deter-
mination to prevent any government cotton running
on the Alabama river.

All government employ& at Fort Monroe for-
merly in the service of the Confederate government
have been dismissed, in consequence, it is said, of
fears that they intended to attempt the rescue of
Mr. Davis.

General Sweeney, the Fenian secretary of war,
has joined the senate organisation, and has issued
soli for prompt military action.
The City of Baltimore has arrived out.

NEW YORE, J. 17, Nomura.

In the Senate Mr. Chandler has given notice
that he would, on some future day, read the British
Foreign Enlistment Act, with the provision abolish-
ing all existing laws on neutrality.
During the debate on the resolution for the pro-
clamation of non-intercourse with England, Senator
Johnson said that it was a very important matter,
and that the mere offering of the resolution bad
created great solicitude. He moved to table the
resolution.
Mr. Chandler wished the resolution to be re-
ferred to the committee on foreign affairs.
Mr. Sumner thought that a reference to that
committee was the beet course to pursue.
The resolution was then tabled.

The House of Representatives have concurred in
the resolution of the Senate empowering the, Re-
construction Committee to send for certain persona
and papers.

The order for mustering out all coloured troops
in Texas has been revoked.

Rumours are current in Toronto that arrange-
ments have been concluded with Washington to
continue the Reciprocity Treaty beyond March next.
NEW YORK, JAL 18, EVINING.

The New York Herald states that President
Johnson is considerably indisposed, but that no
fears are entertained of serious illness.

asking the President for information whether there
have been any violations of neutrality on the part

MEXICO.

NEW YORK, Jar. 18, Enema.
It is reported, rid New Orleans, that the Mata-
moros Ranchero of the sth states that a filibuster
foroe, estimated at 100 to 400 strong, composed
partly of negroes, and commanded by the American
General Reed, a staff-officer of General Crawford,
had crossed the Rio Grande from the Texas side,
and captured Bagdad, on the Mexican side, sur-
prising and taking prisoners the imperial garrison.
They afterwards plundered the city, sending the
spoils to the Texas side. The imperial gunboat
Antonio was summoned to surrender, but replied
with a broadside, scattering the filibusters. The
following morning a French gunboat opened
fire upon the filibusters, driving them into the
upper part of the town. Here according to the
last accounts they held their position. In the con-
flict about 30 were killed on each side. General
Crawford had left Brownsville for Bagdad.
Thirteen hundred imperialists had left Meta-
nioros to attack the filibusters.

Marshal Bazaine had informed Jeannigros that
heavy reinforcements were en route for Monterey
and Saltillo, and requested to have active opera_
tions resumed in connexion with General Mejia, in
order to secure the speedy pacification of the Rio
Grande.

Official intelligenoe has been received at Wash-
ington announcing that Juarez was at Chihuahua
on December 8, but that he would leave shortly in
consequence of the Imperials advancing on that
city.

Three thousand Imperialists, from hfezioo city,
were advancing, on January 5, upon Acapulco.
They would attempt to defeat General Junius and
would then occupy Chilpanz Inge.

Mayor
the Mr. T.
tbsichics, Q. 0., who officiated as deput recorder,
Akisratin Alien, and Alderman Dada, Alderman and
Sheriff Gibbons, Kr. Sheriff Piggies, Mr. Under-Sheriff
Bawling, Ste.
The lust edition of the calendar contains the names of
62 prisoners, 54 males and 8 females. There are two
charges of murder to be disposed of, and also a very serious
chug! against an Italian, named Ella Fermi, of wounding
with intent to murder.
The Common Serjeant is big charge to the grand jury
stated that though only three weeks bad elapsed since the
last session the calendar contained the names of 64 persons
for trial, and the governor of Newgate had informed the
court that since the calendar bad been printed, ten other
permitted been oommitted, making • total of 74 persoes for
whiob,oonsidering the short interval wbieb hadelapeed
ism the last session was a large number. He was sorry to
mid that there were two charges of murder, and he lamented
to soy that in both cases the parties were the worse for
liquor at the time theoffenees were respectively committed.
The first of these oases was that of a person named George
Eingwood, who was charged with the wilful murder of
Grace Ringwood, his wife. It appeared that the prisoner I
and the deceased were assembled with others at a public- I
house, enjoying some festivities. The deceased was some-
what intoxicated, but sober enough to sing and to amuse
the company. The prisoner boasted of having made a con-
tract for some work, when his wife interposed
and told him that was not the place to talk
of business matters. A quarrel ensued, in the course
of which the deceased threw a bottle at him but by stoop-
ing he avoided the missile. The prisoner who was much
provoked, in a moment drew a knife and with it stabbed
his wife in the throat, causing a wound from the attracts of
which she very speedily died. This was unquestionably
=unlawful homicide, which would prima facie be wilful
murder, and it would be well for the greed jury
to find the bill and leave the question to be
madders& by a petty jury in the court The
next case was that of a man named George Crane, charged
with the murder of a female of the name of Carr with
whom he bad cohabited. In this case it appeared that the
prisoner came home about 11 o'clock and found the women
in bed the worse for drink. In a short time screams were
heard from the woman, and on the inmates going to see
what was the matter, heard her cry out, " George, do not
kick me." It was found that she was seriously injured and
died on the following day. On the body being examined by
a surgeon it was found to be one mess of bruises of the
most lamentable character. The intestines were matted
together and one of thesis ruptured by a kick. In this case
he (the Common Serjeant) recommended the grand jury to
find a true bill, and then send the matter for further inves-
tigation by the court. There was another charge against a
man foe feloniously assaulting • child which had been
bons to him by a woman with whom he cohabited, with in-
tent to kill and murder it. The woman went out, leaving
the baby in charge of the prisoner, and on her return she
found the baby screaming, seriously injured, and with its
skull fractured ,• and it would be found that the prisoner
had made we of expressioes which indicated his intentions
to get rid of the infant This was a case which ought not
to be decided in the grand jury-room, but ought to be sent
to be disposed of by the tribunal of the court. After a few
general remarks by the Common Serjcant, the grand jury
retired to their room to commence their labours.
THI CHARM OP DZFRAUDING THZ SOUTH LASTS= RAIL-
WAY COM PANT.
George Loresby Worth, 46, a person of gentlemanly ap-
parent., was placed at the bar to receive judgment.
The prisoner, it will be recollected, was convicted at the
November session of endeavouring to obtain money from
the South• Eastern Railway Company by pretending that
he bad sustained injury by the Staplehurst incident
The prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' bard labcar,

haul evidenoe was gone into with • view of showing that
the prisoner had been dealing with some shares in • mine
mild the Halleobeagle Mine, near Redruth, and that he
had signed transfer of these shares, which were represented
to be forgeries. At the opening of the proceedings Kr.

Mary Williams. aged 25, and Obadiah Deeley, aged 28,

from the person of lir. John Robinson, at Baron-street,
Pentair:Me, under the following circumstances :
The prisoners were seen loitering about Upper and
High-streets, Isliegton, by Police-sergeant William Scott,
44 N, who suspected them and watched. He saw them
separate, and thee the female spoke to the prosecutor, sad
they went to a public-house and had something to drink.
When they left, the prosecutor and the woman walked ashort
dletanoe, and she then said she must go, and asked
shot time it was. The prosecutor took out his watch, on
which the female prisoner watched away the watch, and
tan off across the road. The prosecutor took hold of her,
cc which the male prisoner went behind him, pot his arms
rotted the prosecutor's neck, bugged him, and all fell to the
ground. Sergeant Scott ran up and pulled the male
Prisoner off the prosecutor, who at that time IFAJV
leering from the effects of the violence. Scott
took both the prisoners into custody with assistance,
and at that time the prosecutor's watch was dropped on
the pavement and picked up by the police. On the way to
and at the police eta' ion both prisoners denied all knowledge
of each other, but after they had been locked up the female

had a child locked op in her room. The keys had been
taken from the man. and on the constable goieg to the
