on a charge of having been connected with the plot,
and we learn that Colonel de Meuron and MM.
Montmollin and de Galliae, who escaped by water
from Neufchatel, have been captured in the Can-
ton of Friburg. With regard to the punishment
which these prisoners will receive, it is said that
they will be sentenced to a term of imprisonment,
and to pay the expenses of the damages they have
occasioned.

From Athens we learn that another rupture has
taken place between the Commander-in• Chief of the
French army of occupation and the Greek Govern-
ment. Mr. Wyse, the British Minister at Athens,
had sided with the French, and had instructed the
commander of the British troops at the Pirmus to
support;the French Admiral until further instruc-
tions should be received from the respective
governments. The cause of the dispute arose in
conseqnence of the French Admiral (Bonet)
replacing the commandant of the Pirreus, and
having raised to that post a French officer without
consulting the Greek authorities.
Letters from Berlin, mention that the defeat of
the Royalists in Switzerland, ha. 3 caused the King
of Prussia some uneasiness, but he does not regard
that principality as entirely lost to his crown.
From Austria, we hear that Sir Hamilton
Seymour has remitted to Count Boul, a note from
the British Government, detailing the reasons that
prevent the immediate evacuation of Greece. The
affair of the pirates of the Riff is considered by
Austria to be a question which interests the whole
of Germany, and as such, is to be made the subject
of a proposition to the Diet. The Germanic Con-
federation will put itself in relation with the great
European Powers, in order to devise a general
system of measures calculated to inflict a proper

chastisement on those pirates.
It is said that the Austrian Government, particu.
larly M. de Bruck and the Archduke Maximilian, are
exerting all their efforts in support of the principle
that the Adriatic is an Austrian sea, in order to
consolidate the domination of the Austrian navy
on those shores. A war between Montenegro and
Turkey might lead to disagreeable complications,
since the Turks would take advantage of their sea
ports of Slek and Sutarina to send troops and
ammunition.

Our friend across St. George's Channel are just
now discussing the subject of a short passage
between England or Scotland and Ireland, and Dr.
M'Cormick, of Belfast, puts forward the novel idea
of a submarine railway between the two countries •
If practicable, why not thus connect Liverpool
and Birkenhead? We see it stated in some of the
Irish papers that the Directors of the Bank of Ire-
land have taken legal proceedings against several
persons in Carlow, whose bills were given as
security by the Tipperary Bank for advances
to that unfortunate concern by the Bank of
Ireland, and, by way of the beginning of the
end, it is added that the effects of an extensive
farmer, residing near Ballyellen, were seized under
execution for £7OO due to the bank. Alluding
to the escape of James Sadleir, a Carlow paper
considers that the police are on the wrong scent,
and that there is every reason to believe that the
fugitive is now far on his way to South America,
where there appears to be little doubt that he wlil
be afforded the opportunity of embracing his
brother John. As if in confirmation of this
strange idea, a gentleman, who has lately returned
to Dublin from New Orleans, is ready to aver on
oath, if called upon, that during his residence at
the latter place he had seen John Sadleir boldly
striding through the streets of New Orleans.
There could be, he insists, no mistake, as he had
been for many years familiar with the marked
features of that never-to-be forgotten countenance.
The local incidents of the day will be found
reported at full length in other parts of the paper.
As to politics, they are at a " dead lock," like both
houses of the American Congress.

" THERE is no Radical Reform" of our law
courts advocated, is the assertion recently
put forth by the Daily News, " All that is
" needed," says our cotemporary, "is simply
"to enable a judge sitting in Westminster
" Hall to exercise the same powers as a judge
" sitting at Lincoln's-inn, and vice versa. No doubt
" this change would be immensely facilitated by
" abolishing Trial by Jury in civil cases." This
may not be a " Radical Reform," but it would be
a sweeping change, and one which the people of
this country will not tolerate. The suggestion,
unconstitutional and subversive of the civil liberty
of the realm, emanates from the Chancery Com-
missioners' Report. These high and mighty
authorities cannot devise a plan for fusing law and.
equity, and yet it is proposed " to clothe courts of
" law with the same powers as are now enjoyed by
" courts of equity," in order that they may be able
" to render complete justice between the parties."
This is allmoonshine, when employed as an argu-
ment. But as an admission that justice is not now
done " between the parties," it will probably arouse
the public and show the necessity for an
immediate radical reform in our equity and
civil law courts. It will also serve to confirm the
apprehension expressed by the Daily New's scribe,
for " some respectable Englishman will no doubt
" open his eyes, and demand whether we are
" serious in this proposal to abolish the palladium
" of the Constitution," and we add that Trial by
Jury must not under any circumstances be inter-
fered with.

Instead of having it curtailed in the slightest
degree, on the recommendation of a few Chancery
lawyers sitting as Commissioners, the publio
desire and are determined to introduce the jury

box into our courts of " equity," as they are
humourously called. The country will have
no more dark•closet dealing with the liberty
and property of the subject. Every day
brings to light some fresh oppression and
injustice which has been done to equity
suitors, and persons made parties to Chancery
causes without their knowledge or consent,
and for which outrage upon all law, no re-
dress can be obtained, because, forsooth, the
courts and officers do all they can to prevent expo-
sure, and lead the public to believe that such
things cannot be done in these days with impunity.
But they are done, and the world is now made
acquainted with the doings of the Star Chamber
tribunals by pamphlets, thousands of which are to
be found in circulation in every county in the
three kingdoms. The utmost publicity has re-
cently been given to the most barefaced robberies
in Chancery, and it would, undoubtedly, be
excellent generalship on the part of the Chancery
Commission to make it appear that the courts of
law are at fault, and to meet the popular agitation
in favour of the admission of Trial by Jury in equity
suits by pointing out the propriety of doing away

with juries in civil actions.
The readers of the NORTHERN TIMES have long
since been prepared for some great stroke of
forensic diplomacy, to meet the determination of
the country to purge our equity courts, or wholly
abolish the office of LORD CHANCELLOR, and his
legions of deaf, blind, and dumb underlings ; but we
had not the least idea that the enemy would have

attempted so base an attack on the civil rights of
the citizen, merely to screen the iniquities of the
present equity system from world-wide condemna-
tion. Sending a case before a jury, which might
be settled by arbitration, and which, from its
peculiar nature, must be referred to arbiters, after
it has been taken into court, may be a very round
about • mode of procedure, but it might be cor-
rected by compelling plaintiffs and defendants, in
all such cases, to invite arbitration before going
into court ; but once a case is suffered
to go to a hearing, let nothing on earth
induce the British people to allow their
rights to be tried in the absence of a
jury. Give no more power to Judges, whose law
is not heard by twelve intelligent men, in open
court. We have had quite enough of decisions
recorded behind crimson curtains. Widows,
orphans, and maniacs, may be fair game for the
rapacity of Chancery, but let us never abandon our
good old system of intrusting our property, as we
intrust our lives, to twelve honest men in a jury-
box. It may not be Esqumauxish, Germanish, or
Continental enough for these imitative times, yet
it is purely English, and has proved too whole-

some for (

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.
The general tone and tendency of commercial
affairs continue in the same quiet state as pre-
viously noticed in these columns. The rapid and
satisfactory progress of the harvest, in conjunction
with the present state of our foreign relations,
gives considerable confidence to Cotton and other
manufacturers. Hence, at this day's market there

was a good demand, although most parties
interested in the buying of cotton were at the
Manchester market. Holders were liberal in their

supplies, but supported prices with firmness.
The transactions were reported at 6,000 bales, of
which 1,500 were taken by exporters and specula-
tors. According to the last official statement
contained in the New York Shipping List, the total
receipts at all the ports in the United States this
year were 3,489,000 bales, against 2,785,000 last
year. The exports to Great Britain this year were
1,945,000, against 1,528,000 to same period in 1855.

The total stock and on shipboard was 51,000,
against 112,000 last year. This return shows an
increase of 704,000 bales in the receipts, and
411,000 in the shipments to Great Britain, but a
decrease of 71,000 bales in the stocks, &c., on
shipboard. Intimately connected with the move-
ments and statistics of the Cotton Market is the
present position and future prospects of trade in
the manufacturing diszricts of Lancashire. The
report of our nmeliestei' correspondent, this after-

,
noon, states that the market in that city was very
firm to-day, and that, with the exception of Indian
descriptions, goods of all kinds were in active
demand. Yarns also were in strong request at
rather better prices.
The Liverpool Share Market opened very flat
this morning, and continued so throughout the
day, closing very dull for all descriptions of Stocks,
with the exception of Caledonian, which were in
demand. The transactions of the day were :-
Caledonian, 26, 1-, 1. Eastern Counties, 8 15•16.
East Lancashire, 20k. Lancashire and Yorkshire,

New Shares, 2 3-16 2 5-16 p. Great Luxembourg,

We experience an active demand for discount
accommodation, and the Money Market is generally
considered `f tight," and the late rates are fully
maintained. Loans on Government Stock, to run
to the October settlement, are made at 5 per cent.
All the gold that arrives, is absorbed by the Con-
tinent, and preparations must be made for meeting
the instalment, which falls due on the 18th inst.
An impression now prevails in monetary and com-
mercial circles, that the Money Market will remain
stringent until the payment of the dividends in
October. We may her,:, mention, that there is also
increased stringency in monetary matters on the
Continent, so that two or three of the state banks
have been obliged to advance their rate of discount.
The spirit of commercial enterprise and specula-
tive dealings in new companies on the Continent,
have already absorbed a large aggregate amount of
capital, which will not be replaced for some time.
The public Funds are still unfavourably affected
by the stringency of the Money Market, and by the
arrangement for the adjustment of the monthly
account. Consols opened this forenoon at 941 for
both money and time, and were afterwards dealt

in at 941; they then receded to 941, and closed flat
at 942 to 94t. The New Three per Cents found
buyers at 951, then fell to 951, at about which
figure they left off. There was a slight improve-
ment in the rates of Exchequer Bills, which we
quote at 14s to 17s per annum.
The London Share Market has been inactive

throughout the day, but, although there was
not any business of moment transacted,
prices were without change. The actual
transactions include :-Eastern Counties, BZ-. Great
Northern, 951. Do. A., 831. Great Western, 641
64*. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961 97. London
and North Western, 1021 1021. Midland Stock,
791 79. North British, 401. York, Newcastle, and
Berwick, 72 724. The closing rates were thus
posted :-Caledonian, 521 521 Eastern Counties,
81 9. East Lancashire, 80 81. Great Northern, 95
96. Ditto A., 83 85. Great Western, 641 644.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961 97*. London and
North Western, 1021 103. Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire, 33 34. Midland Stock, 781 791.
North British, 401. South Eastern and Dover,
72* 721. York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 80 81.
York and North Midland, 57 58.
The latest state of the Foreign Exchanges is thus
reported :-Amsterdam, short, 11 151 to 11 161.
Do. three months, 11 181 to 11 19. Rotterdam,
do., 11 19 to 11 191. Antwerp, do., 25 421 to 25

The drooping tendency of the Corn Market con,
tinues. According to all accounts, the reports of
sprouting will not be of serious character. The
markets held here, in Leeds and Hull, again
declined, and very little business was transacted
in any article.
We observe that the Directors of the Blackburn
Railway Company are inviting subscriptions from
the public for a portion of the new capital required
for the extensions from Bolton, via Radcliffe, to
Manchester, and from Chatburn to join the North
Western Railway. This step is adopted in pur-
suance of a resolution adopted at the general meet-
ing on the 28th ult. Powers for the construction
of the lines in question are to be applied for next
session. The total cost of the first-named extension
is estimated at 420,0001, for which sum a respon-
sible contractor is stated to be willing to undertake
the works. Tha second extension is estimated
to cost 150,0001, making a total of 570,000/.
This sum is propsed to be raised by an issue of
57,000 new shares of 101. each, which are offered
in the first instance to holders of Blackburn stock,
whether original or preferential. Upon the corn.
pletion of these undertakings it is intended to pay
to the holders of these new shares a guaranteed
dividend of 5 per cent., charged upon the new
portions of the line,. and upon the present line,
after paying the dividend upon the B Preference
shares ; to pay on the original Blackburn shares
a dividend up to 4 per cent. ; and ultimately to
divide all surplus earnings between the new shares
and the original shares in such 'proportion that
the former may always continue to receive 1 per
cent, more than the latter. A deposit of 1/. per
share is to be paid on allotment.

FRANCE.

(FROM OWL OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING' a
In a quarter likely to be well informed, it is state
that Prussia has already sent duplicate notes '0
England and France, demanding that the questi°t,
relative to the Clanton of Neufchatel shall be se
tied, once for all, in an European Cougresi,sB'
According to the Independanee, of Brussels, t'
European powers will most likely make Switz,e r,
be
land grant Prussia a pecuniary indemnity for
cession of her rights over the Canton ; but it
evident that at this moment, things cannot be ee
far advanced as to enable any one to say what the
powers will do. It appears that more than 0"of
treaty., and even the famous treaty of ViEnna
1815, recognises the suzerainty of Prussia over
Canton, and the Prussians pretend that the en'ti,
ing form of Government, produced by a rer,be
tion, is a gross violation thereof, and that it
people were consulted, they would pronoun:l4,
almost unanimously for annexation to Pruselii.

were the law to permit banks to charge that rate—so great
would be the decrease in banking capital.
Notwithstanding a scarcity of Flour, and consequent bare
market and active demand, the tendency is downward ; and as
farmers are selling their wheat at present prices, say 6s 3d to
6s 6d in Toronto and other markets, abundant supplies of
flour may be expected soon, which will, doubtless, bring the
market to the exporting prices. Meanwhile, however, all that
can be ground of the new crop in the Western States is taken
immediately at 6 dols and upwards, relatively a higher price
than similar flour in Montreal, and the price in England has
advanced, by last advices, about is per barrel from the lowest
point. There is also considerable anxiety throughout
Lower Canada, on account of the extraordinary continuance of
wet, cold weather, which we have had. For upwards of a
fortnight, it has rained almost daily, and much injury must
have been done to peas, potatoes, and other crops. From
various parts of the Western country, on the contrary, great
injury to the crops has resulted, we learn, from severe and
continuous drought parching up the pastures, and rendering
the grain crops very light. We are also sorry to hear of
symptoms of potatoe rot in some quarters round Montreal.

t be easily attained,

In Grain there is nothing to report, except a rise in barley,
which may be quoted at 4s 6d to ss. As barley is extensively
grown in Lower Canada, and has been a good crop, and secured
before the bad weather, this high price, which is caused by a
demand from the States, will prove advantageous. Advice,
from Chicago quote corn as also advancing.
The supply of Ashes in New York has been very deficient
this year, and the price has, in consequence, advanced both
there and in Britain, thus causing the very high price here,
which it appears likely will be maintained until it stimulate
production to meet the demand.

Provisions are slightly lower, mess pork being quoted at
22 doh, with very little doing. Butter is exceedingly scarce,
and a party who was obliged to ship a small lot to order, by a
schooner which was just sailing, had to pay 109 d for a good

quality in kegs

ssrs, Forsyth, Bell, and Co., in their circular
of to-day, supplies the following remarks on the position of the
timber trade :—" During the early part of the last fortnight
there was great dullness in the market generally, but within the
last few days a great deal of white pine has changed hands at
prices generally varying from 71d to Bd, although in one instance
6d was taken for fair new timber, but this we consider an excep-
tional case. There is more enquiry for rafts of last year, and
holders are more sanguine of obtaining their prices than they
were some weeks ago. For large average 9d in the raft has
been given."
RED PINE

STANDARD STAVES move off steadily at £55, if culls are
taken with them. Puncheon, from the small quantity arriving
at market, are held at £l6 to £l7, but buyers seem disposed
to substitute culls or lathwood to giving these rates.
DEALS are in better request for firet rate specifications,

difficult to obtain £lO for lsts and proportionate prices

PIRATES IN TORRES STRAITS.—The following extract
has been handed us from a letter written by Captain Henry
Hutchinson, of Sunderland, of the barque Secret. The
letter is dated Batavia, July 10, 1856, at which place the
ship bad arrived from Geelong :—" In coming through
Torres Straits the natives attampted to board ; there were
about 30 of them in two canoes. They advanced with the
most frightful yells and howling, and perceiving two mole
canoes coming off, I was obliged to fire my bow swivel into
the nearest one, which was only about 40 feet distant.
What life was lost I cannot say, as I jumped to my side
swivel to give the second one a dose, but he sheered off. I
immediately up anchor, with about 76 natives in pursuit.
The ship going about six knots, and the breeze increasing,
we fortunately got clear of them."—Stolderland Herald.
BRAZILIAN COLONISATION AND COMMERCE. —The
emigration and commercial movement in the direc-
tion of the east cost of South America seems to be
extending throughout the European continent even more
rapidly than in England. In addition to the new line of
steamers from Southampton, in competition with the
royal mail, thus giving a bi-monthly communication from
that port alone, and the intended resumption of the
Liverpool Brazilian line, now that the vessels of the
company are released from the transport service, we hear
of lines from Havre, Marseilles, Genoa, and elsewhere :
while the Belgian emigration promises to provide ample
employment for the Antwerp line. The Annales 4u Com-
merce Exterieur has the following on the commercial
relations existing between Hamburg and the Brazils:—
" The number of lines of transatlantic navigation from
Hamburg, which had already amounted to fourteen, has
just been increased by a service of packets between that
port and Rio Grande do Sul. A vessel leave every
month. The shipowners, who have joiall in this under-
taking, have already entered into contracts
with
several
extensive Brazilian proprietors, and
particularlyulariy
with
Dr. Blurninau, the founder of a colony bearing his name,
in the province of State Catherine, whom they have
engaged to furnish with 10,000 German emigrants in the
space of five years."

Susrrerous CHARACTERS. - James Wilson, Mary
Brittan, and Mary Walker, were brought up by detec-
tives Povey and M'Culloch, charged as follows :—The
prisoners were very well dressed. From the evidence,
it appeared that, at eight o'clock on Monday evening,
the officers saw the female prisoners in Lord-street,
catching hold of gentlemen, the man following them as
a "bled-getter." They followed them into James's,
Castle, Dale, and other streets, in all of which the
women attempted to induce gentlemen to accompany
them—the man following close behind. They followed
them into John-street, and, from the manner in which
they acted, the constables arrested them, knowing what
their " business " was. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners,
and contended that, in point of law, there was no offence
committed ; and in answer to him the officers said they
did not see the prisoners do anything except what was
stated, but they knew what they were about, and their
intention. Still, Mr Bluck argued that the prisoners
were illegally arrested, and ought to he discharged. The
magistrate cautioned the prisoners, and discharged
them.

JOHN CITINAMAN AND A -VANN FCRMAN.—An intelli-
gent Chinese, with the unmistakeable English name of
James John Jackson, charged a Yankee, named John
Devlin, with stealing his cap, and for assaulting him ;
and there was a second charge against the prisoner, for
having stolen a coat, hat, rug, and other property.
Police officer 508, said he saw the prisoner rushing out
of Gibraltar-row, and dart into a shop, and immediately
a crowd followed, along with the Chinaman, who had
been assaulted, and robbed of his cap, by the prisoner.
The witness arrested the prisoner, who drew his knife,
and made a desperate blow at him ; and he would have
put the knife into his heart, but he drew his staff and
knocked him down, and yet he attempted to stab him
and another police officer, with a second knife. He
was, however, secured. The Chinese was put into
the box, when the question arose about how he
was to be examined, as it was presumed he could not
speak English. Don Francisco Tomaso, the interpreter,
said he understood the language. Mr. Clough said he
did not think the Signor spoke Chinese. The Signor
said the John Chinaman spoke a language which he did
understand—he would not enter the box to say he un-
derstood a language, if he did not. A discussion fol-
lowed, and all the time poor John Chinaman looked and
heard it all, and at length he put an end to it by inform-
ing the court that he could speak English as well as the
best of the interpreters! This he did, and no mistake
about it, to the great surprise of all who heard him. He
then told his story very clearly, which amounted to
this :—He was going down Gibraltar-row, when the
Yankee snapped off his cap, knocked him down, and ran
away with his cap. A sailor belonging to the ship
Nonpareil, where the prisoner was, proved that he lost
clothes and other things, and that the prisoner stole the
property. In consequence of the complainants going to
sea, the case was dealt summarily with, and the prisoner
was committed for two months.

SERIOUS CEIAROE AGAINST A PAWNBROKER —Thomas
Wildon, a sailor, lost a suit of new clothes in a bad-
house, and soon after the articles were found pledged in
the pawnshop of Mr. Lazarus, 28, Paradise-street. A.
person from that shop was produced, and stated that he
took in the articles from a woman who gave her name as
Anne Clark. There were three females in custody, but
he said none of them pledged the articles. In reply to
Mr. Anderton (the clerk),_ the witness said he merely
entered the name of the woman as she told him, after he
had made the usual enquiry. Mr. Harvey asked Mr.
Clough what sort of house is this kept by Mr. Lazarus,
the pawnbroker? Mr. Clough : One of the very worst
in town. Within the last fortnight the magistrates on
the bench had to speak in terms of very deserved anal
decided censure of his conduct. They had to order him
to restore clothes that he took in pledge, knowing the
property was stolen ; and they cautioned him as to his
future conduct, and yet we have him here to-day again
for even a more serious offence. He takes in all sorts of
stolen property without enquiry as to how it is
come by. They know very well the parties who pledge
the property are prostitutes, and that they steal the pro-
perty, and yet they take it in. Mr. Harvey (to the wit-
ness): Why do you, sir, take in goods in this way ; you
must know the property is improperly come by? The
young man : Oh, the person was likely to have such
property. Mr. Harvey : That's all nonsense. Mr.
Clough : We have reason to know that the person who
pledged the clothes is now before or in tize court, and
that the witness will not tell it. The witness said he did
not see her. Mr. Clough asked his Worship_to make an
order for the restoration of the property without payment
to the pawnbroker: Mr. Harvey said he would grant a
summons (for this day) against the pawnbroker for
receiving stolen goods, and see what he could say why
he should not be sent for trial. The summons was
ordered, and the three prisoners were discharged.

ROBBERY OF A CASHBOX FROM AN OFFICE. —James and
Thomas Burns, father and son, were brought up by
detectives Scott and Laycock, charged with being con-
cerned in a robbery which took place on Saturday last,
at the office of Mr. John Smith, insurance agent, Com-
merce-court, Lord-street, when his cashbox, containing
between £4O and £5O, was stolen. The case was rather
curious. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners. The history
of the case was as follows :—On Saturday, Mr. Smith
was in his private office, which adjoins the outer one.
A fine, smart, and intelligent lad, named Nicholson,
was in the front office, and having left for a few mo-
ments, he found, on his return, that the cashbox was
gone. It contained the amount stated. Scott and
Laycock went in quest of the robbers and the box ; the
latter was found (empty, of course) broken open, in a
field in Kensington. In consequence of information
which these active officers received, they proceeded to
the public-house of Mr. Crean, Moss-street, and
Mr. Craig, London-road, and they found that, at
the latter, the elder prisoner had offered a £lO
note in payment for some rum and whiskey. The
note was refused, and then it was offered to Mr.
Crean, who had the prisoners arrested. The note
was produced, and it was found to be one that was in
the box when it was stolen. Laycock said, when he
arrested the younger prisoner he told him what he was
in eustody for, and that his father was already arrested
on the same charge. The officer then cautioned him,
and the prisoner said, " Wel!, if my father is in custody
for notes, I gave them to him to get changed." There
was a considerable quantity of new clothes found, and
it seemed the prisoners had purchased the articles, and
that on Monday night, a " fist full" of sovereigns was
seen with the younger prisoner. The officers said, they
were very much indebted to Mr. Crean and Mr. Craig,
for the assistance given to them. Mr. Bluck said, as
perhaps the officers would ask for a remand, he would
not, at present, offer any observation on behalf of his
clients, until the case could be perfected. The prisoners
were remanded.

(BEFORE NE. MANSFIELD
THE POOR Box.—The Magistrate requested our reporter
to acknowledge the receipt of 20s from " G. R. A.," at
the same time stating that he had already disposed of
that amount—a portion in fitting out a destitute lad for
sea, and the remainder in seAding a poor lad to Ireland,
where he had been enabled to get a situation at a salary
of I3s per quarter. It was a very small amount: but
still it was much better than the poor little fellow being
about the streets in Liverpool. •
MoRB STABBING.—A ruffianly looking fellow was
charged with stabbing a sailor, in Glover-street, on the
previous night. The complainant, a sailor, named
James Bennett, belonging to the ship Marseilles, whose
face was much lacerated, and had received some frightful
wounds, said, the prisoner, John Sydney, is the mate of
the vessel. In a rough sailor like voice he said : Your
Honour, this is an old grudge. Last night he came
where I was, to a house in Glover-street, and I agreed
to settle the affair with him ; then we agreed to fight.
Instead of fighting, he stabbed me in the face and
shoulder with a knife. Mr. Mansfield : You intended
to fight fairly with the fists ? Complainant : Yes ;
certainly. The surgeon of the Southern Dispensary,
Mr. Garland, described the six wounds inflicted on the
head and body of the complainant, when the girl who
kept the lodging house said, the complainant went to
the house about ten o'clock last night, in a state of
intoxication, and then went to bed. About one o'clock
in the morning he got down stairs, and the prisoner was
sitting on a sofa. The prisoner said, "Jim, what right
have you here you ought to be thinking of your wife
and children at St. John's." An altercation took place,
when the prisoner was turned out. of the house, hut
subsequently got in again, and inflicted the injuries
with a knife which he took from his pocket. The
prisoner was committed to take his trial.

charged with stabbing Mrs. 111.‘Coy in the face with a
sharp instrument. Mr. I3luck appeared for the com-

the facts of the case, as elicited in evidence, it appeared

Captain Jefferson, of the Hutton Chaytor (screw
steamer), from Hartlepool, arrived in the River Thames,
reports that on "Saturday morning, September 6, at
1.30, passed the Jane, Croll (screw steamer), which
hoisted signals of distress. The Hutton Chaytor imme•
diately ran down to her. When within hail the captain
of the Janet Croll hailed the Hutton Chaytor, and said
that his vessel was fast filling with water, and required
immediate assistance. Hailed the Janet Croll, and told
the master to hoist his boats out, and come on hoard the
Hutton Chaytor, At 2.35 a.m., the captain and all the
crew of the Janet Croll got safe on board of the Hutton
Chaytor, which lay by the other until daylight, when
part of the crew of the Janet Croll proceeded on board of
her again, and passed a towline on board of the Hutton
Chaytor, and took her in tow in hopes of reaching Yar-
mouth ; but while towing, she made water so fast, that
at 6 a.m. she foundered. The crew got safe out of her
before she went down. When she foundered, Dudgeon
light-vessel bore S.E. by S., distance 2 miles. The Hut-
ton Chaytor pnreedcd on her voyage for London with the

Sheriff of London, and had, until lately, been employed
in the transport service in the Black Sea. She was

FRENCH AND ENGLISH FISHERMEN

SHIELDS, Saturday Night.—Lieutenant Groves, who
reached the Tyne in the Otter, war steamer, on Thursday
evening, held an enquiry in the Town-hall, North Shields,
yesterday, into certain allegations made by the Northum-
berland fishermen, with regard to the French boats
fishing within the proscribed limits, injuring the fishing
of the British fishermen and putting their lives in danger.
An international treaty proscribes the French boats
from fishing within three leagues of the coast, but as onr
Admiralty has not condescended to give any protection
to the English fishing upon the southern coast of North-
umberland this season, the French boats have just done
as they have thought proper; and as they are large
luggers, with crews of twenty hands each, and as our
men fish in cobles with but three hands each, and but
light gear, they have shot their nets within our boats,
within a mile or a mile and a half of the shore, and have
done a very considerable amount of damage ; in fact, so

the wind off the shore, they were obliged to haul up
their nets and return home again lest their boats should
be stove and their lives lost by the heavy kegs which the
French vessels use as floats to their nets. Lieutenant
Groves, after ascertaning all the facts, has reported to
the Admiralty. He has put to sea again, with instruc-
tions, we understand, to attend upon the fishing as far
as Yarmouth, and strictly enforce the law. The French
government, who get a considerable amount of their
conscription for the navy from the fishermen, have two
steamers on the coast looking after their men.
