MiDDICII.

Plaintiff is a compositor, and defendant is a mantis printer.
no into sought to be recovered was 94., for one and a half
day's work, at the rate of 36.. per week. Plaintiff stated
that he had been engaged by defendant at the "stab" wages
usual in the trade. One Monday he was linable to go to work
till the middle of the day, through illness. Oa the following
Tuesday he was at his " hams" all day, but on the Wednee-
day the overseer told him he amid not go on. He was late
on Wedneaday it was newly eleven helms he arrived. As
he had to work very late some nights, ha thought the over-
seer would not have been so &Wet. Defendant refined to
pay him for the day and a half he had worked.
Mr. Maddick said he appeared in this case merely that be
might be protected against the evil results of the conduct of
his Journeymen. He was the printer of half-a-dozen weza
newspapers, and it was imperative that the business
be conducted methodically, or constant lONS' would accrue.
If plaintiff and four or five more of his companions thought
fit to stop away from their work for two or three boars In the
morning, not only was he (defendant) in danger of losing
portions of his business, but of being constantly put to the
expenee of extra assistance at the end of the week. Now
plaintiff had agreed to scoop, 36... per week. and to come at
eight and go at eight. He did not come till eleven on Wed-
nesday, and more, on Monday be did not come till the middle
of the day. Under all the CintllnatallCOL, he directed his
overseer to fill up the frame.
His Honour—You should know the custom of the trade
better than I do; but I think he is entitled to his money.
Plaintiff—By the loss of my situation I paid the penalty
of being late, sad it is customary to pay for the work actually
done.
His Honour—l am inclined to think that is so. If •
tailor or bootmaker conies late to his work, he is docked so
snuck time. _ _ _

; but a coat or a boot ordered at tan may
do at twelve. A newspaper ordered at ten must be dons or
serious expense is incurred. The plaintiff neglects my work,
and thereby danger, expense, and inconvenience are incurred
by ma, and I think he should not recover..
His Honour—You see he wee not spoken to about being
late on thaMonday. I think, from my knowledge of tob.=
that It is usual to give and take. Had plaintiff
himself on publishing day, there might have been grounds
I for refusing to pity him ; but there is not much pressure on
Wednesday, and he wee not told specially to come early. I
think he is entitled to a verdict.
Verdict for plaintiff.

ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 25, 1848.

The steamer Bombay arrived at Suez from Born.
hay on the 21st, with dates to the 9th ; the steamer
Emeu also arrived at Suez on the 21st, from Ms-
trails.

The amnesty is slowly but surely thinning the
ranks of the rebels ; and there is good reason for be-
lieviog that the whole country will be restored to
peace without much additional bloodshed.
On the 4th November, a force, commanded by
Lord Clyde in person, having marched 61 miles in
60 hours, completely defeated Bene Mando, Sing,
and a large army of rebels, at Dundeca Klan,
nearly opposite Futtehpoor ; the enemy was driven
out of the dense jungle, and afterwards chased for
miles by guns and cavalry ; their loss was enormous;
many were drowned in the Ganges. Bene Mando
fled down the River Oomrao. Sing escaped towards
Cawnpore road. The rabble threw away their arms,
and fled to the steep ravines in which the Yonnksy
abounds.

Belle Mando is raid now to be at Dolemon Ghat,
on the Ganges.
On the 28th of November the Commander-in-
Chief arrived at Lucknow ; the health of our troops
is said to be excellent.

On the 21st of November, General Grant re-
crossed the Goartee ; the rebels, in considerable num-
bers, disputed the passage, but were forced to fly
with great loss; six of their guns were taken.

with en Inaugurator, discourse front the &sus. The attend-
ance 'Whited a marked falling off cc compared with the
' dons of Isar year ; but it is probable that the weather
wr y answerable for the diminution. It was a night
on which surely nothingsititimirdecided taste for NMI=
would hays led sny one to quit hie Mac: aigi
shies was eseasquinsly exordia, witfebwile men
last year round the west doors of the church before the hoar
for opening them arrived. Btol it is poseible that the services
at St. Paul's and Ezeter.hall may have had something to do
with the matter; and if so, the seceseary inference would be
that the supply of preaching on a large scale has overtaken
the demand.
_ . _ _ _

The ser;itie last night was Cooke in G, with the Precsa of
Talks,and It was sang by a voluntary ehoir of about fifty
men and boys. Ths prayers wore said by the Rev. Mr.
Hayden, the precentor, the lessons being admirably reed by
the oubdeen, Lord John Thrums. The 100th Psalm (new
version) was afterwards sung, and Dr. Tawas, aseemdiag
the pulpit, took his test from St. Matthew 1, verse 21.
At the does of the sermon the Hallelujah chants was swig
by the choir ; and the congregation. which did net &ppm to
differ materially tram as ordinary Sunday main ems, was
then &maimed with the benedicuon.

(MOM OCR OWN CON

VICTORIA, Jen. 10.
The influence of public feeling, and the strong
expression of public opinion, has for the nonce over-
borne the via inertie of 'masterly inactivity, and her
Majesty's ship Plumper, with all the Marines and
Blue Jackets that could be spared from the Satellite,
together with her own, was despatched from Fort
Langley this morning to co-operate with the Lieute-
nant-Governor, Colonel Moody, in suppressing the
anarchy and lawless violence which resulted from
the unconstitutional system of government nnfortu-
, nately establiahed in British Columbia. It is to be
hoped the reinforcement may get forward without
any detention, for a little troop of five and twenty
men even encircled with the halo of regal authority
and the prestige of British military valour, is not only
manifestly insufficient to cops with several hundred
hardy, daring vagabonds, armed at all points, but
absolutely calculated, from the vast disparity
.of
means, to encourage the spirit of rebellions In-
subordination which has prevailed in the Upper
Frazer since the discovery of gold there. However,
I have great faith in the effects of moral demonstra-
tion, promptly exercised, with the vigour said to
be a leading trait of Colonel Moody's character ;
and I cannot believe that • gang of lawless
desperadoes, even with a certainty of temporary
triumph, will venture to resist the small force
brought ageinst them, with the inevitable retribu-
tion from British might looming. in the distance,
the attractions of their rich claims IMMO-
diately before them. I em, therefore, quite
firmly persuaded that atonement will be offered, that
good order will be established, and that fair pro-
mises for the future will be tendered, without the
shedding of any blood; and I sincerely trust that no
time will be wasted, and no false scruples be
allowed to prevent or retard thr a single day the
radical subversion of the incoherent and rumen-
stitutioned policy to which all those disgraosfal dis-
turbances are most palpably traceable. If we cannot
get on without au infusion of the American element,
why, then give us the pure, unadulterated Down-
East article, for the genuine Jonathan is a man to
be respected in the teeth of his peculiarities, while
tie time-serving renegade is a felon to be kept at
amab length.

The inclemency of the weather, combined with
the absence of the Arabia's letters, and with the
fact that the day was kept as a holiday by some

Mr. Wm. Hamm Langhorne, mate of All Paints' Church,
Knightsbridge, said he had for some lime past been attend-
ing the defendant's wife, who had been manned to her bed
for two years, and who had always been in a very precarious
state of health. For a isegth of time be had heard that the
'mused bad been abusing and ill-treating her. The neigh-
boors all agreed that his conduct towards the poor creature
wee very bad, and some of them had assured witness that
the &disdain actually was in the habit of taming her out of
bed on to the floor while he lay in the bed himeelf. His wife
bad lately been sinking fast, and was evidently in a dying
Mate; and when wins.' went to see her on Monday, she
told him with tears in her eyes that her husband had struck
her across her hand with a thick stick which was in the
room. _ . - -

Bunter inquired whether she appeared to b•ve been

fendant had so ill treated his wife.

—Wltises repliedthat the ;;;;ii was in the habit of spend-
ing all his earnings in drink; and if his wife even hinted
that she required money to procure some Mile necesserise, he
Audi and frequently ill used her. He did Dot even pay the
nut, and the poor creature wag entirely dependent upon the
charity of AU Saints' Church for everything.
Ilizabeth Smith, 2, Knightsbridge-green, Paid she lived
In the nest room to defendant and his wife, and often per-
formed little daces for the latter. Witness had heard him
frequently stems and threaten his wife, and the poor woman

THE LOSS OF THE ALBATROSS FACET.

Last evening an inquest was held at the Town-
hall, Gravesend, before Mr. Milder, coroner, on the bodice of
Mr. Andrew Beraceatle (owner), Albert Pattenden, and
George Vanden, who were drowned by the sinking of the
Album°s yacht off Gravesend, on Sunday morning last.
James Burley. cabin boy on board the Albatross, deposed
that the reseed loft Greenwich on Saturday, and arrived off
the Clifton Baths Graveeend, at 9 p.m. Eight persons
were on board, Including water, Mr. Berneutie (the
owner), Mr. Pattendon (the captain), end Mr. Paweon and
Mr. bones, two of Mr. Berncutle's friends. The vessel
remained at anchor between the Storm and the Will o the
Whip yechta until 5 o'clock on Sunday morning. At
that Uwe the anchor was heaved short, end the main
sail was set. Mr. Bsencsatie was at the helm, and he gave
orders to hoist the foresail. Patteadea and witness were in
the act of doing so, when the Albatross struck the Storm
alit stern first. The tide was "unplug very fast. Mr.
fferamstle then gave orders to eat away the clewlince, but
not the topping lift. Witnees got on to the bowsprit of the
Storm yeast, and cut the elawlines of the Albatross, which
caused all the strain to be at the topping lift. Witness
wished to cut the topping lift; and bad this ban done in
time, he believed the Albatross would have gone clear, and
the accident would not have happened. The Albatross was
at that time athwart the tide, both bee backetaye were
broken, and t'etteoden was at the bow to let go the
anchor. Witness, finding that the 'easel must topple over
without orders cut the topping lift, but it was then too late,
as the water was coming in at the stern. Pattenden climbed
up the noel., and witness saw the veceel go down, but she
immediately rose again, and Pattenden was thou still cling-
ing to the mast. Witness sew Mr. Bernmetle, Mr. Pewee's,
and Mr. Bowes swimming bt the water, and Mr. Bowes was
saved Ly • watennen.
Robert Jewett, neuter of the Storm yacht, deposed he was
to bed, when be was aroused by cries for automate. He
esrae on deck, and saw the Albatross sink. The strain from
her moat-bend temple tidy toppled her over. He fully agreed
with the het witness that the topping lift oaght to have been
cut, and the Alba l might then have cleated away from the
other yacht.. When untrue saw the water coating over
the dock of the Alretrom, he called out to Mr. Bernosstie,
" You moot go down—come on board our vessel," but be re-
ceived no answer. When the vessel was sinking, Mr. Berne
castle cried out, " Pray save no;" and witness replied, " I
will, sir, if I esa." He then lowered small boat from the
Storm yacht. and endeavoured to wean:mein the water, but,
in the conassioa, ane of the oars fell into the water, and he
was &cutely sbte to nave himself.
One or two other aritassura hiving been examined, the
jetty returned a vadat that the deceased were accidentally
drowned.
