DUBLIN ADMIRALTY COURT- MONDAY.

BOTTOMRY—SEAMZN'S WAGES.—THE BON ACCORD OF
LIVERPOOL, NICOLL; MASTER.— ifessrs. Art.lerson tud Lee
moved for further proceecli,itts in deftult, against this
vesel, in a cause of bolontry, for £2 060. The Court
granted the motion. Mr. Richardson moved f.:r le tve to
enter a second or interventi,inal suit for wage, on the parr
of his clients, the master and the c-c vof the vessel. He
submitted their claims, with affidavits to verify, by which
it appeared that the sum of £159 13( 1(1 was due to the
master, and the sum of £137 9i 7 ! due to the crew. The
Court granted the motion, ; tot upon farther motion to
that effeet,ordered that upon the fourth default being entered
in the bottomry suit, that is upon Friday noat, this cause
of wages should come on for trial.

The amount of silver to be despatched by the next
Overland mail, on the 4th of August, is expected to be
large, and as the £400,000 which is looked for from
Mexico will not reach London in time supplies will have
to be procured from the Continent. Some persons antici-
pate that the drain to India will be greatly increased
owing to the diminution in demand for our manufactured
goods that must be conseqnent on the existing outbreak,
but on the other hand the payments of the Indian g wern-
ment to this country for transport service and war material
will be extremely heavy.
A Paris correspon lent of the Independence of Brussels,
writes :—The sending out of some French and Englise
vessels of war to Tunis is spoken of. France has several
times made similar manifestations against the regency,
and for a less serious cause than the present one ; under
Louis Phillippe two such manifestations were made. The
concessions of Si-Mahommed to the fanaticism of his
subjects are all the more iec meeivable that his envey, -
extraordinary, General Ker-E !din, was in Paris some
months ago, and was the bearer of presents to the imperial
family. The Akbar of Algiers detnands, in the Interest of
public security, that the Hatti-hern.aioue of Constantinople
shall be applied to Tunis Bet this gu trantee is not
equal in our opinion to a frank execution of the teeaty of
alliance concluded in 1830 by Admiral de Rosaneel, the
stipulations cf which provide for all the points connected
with good neighbourhood and religious toleration.
MILITARY OUTRAGE AT CHATHAM.— %. serious outrage
perpetrated by some soldiers behnging to the 27th and
70th Reeiments, took place in Chatham on Te=stlay night.
The soldiers who were under orders for embarkation to
India, broke out of barrack?, and on their entering the
Melt Shovel public house in Chatham, they had half a
gallon of bear, for which they refused to pay. Evontually
they were ejected from the brve, after doing considerable
mischief and destroying everything they could lay their
hands on. From thence they proceeded to Cage-lane, and
Core down a stone wall ; and having therefrom armed
themselves with stones, they proceeded across the lines to
New Brampton, doing considerable damae, and hreakin
several windows and alarming the neig,hb mrhood.
Between one and two in the morning they returned to
Chatham, and broke several panes of plate glass at the
Old Barn, when some civilians and excavators interfered,
and a general row ensued between them, which ended in a
fight. Two of the navvies who were very much injured
were removed to a house for surgical assistance. The
embarkation took place this morning at Gravesend, when
forty-three prisoners (ringleaders in the above outrage),
were marched, handcuffed, through the street.,, to tee
railway station at Straod, to embark at Gravesend. The
commandant has given orders for the broken windows to
be repaired, and for all other property destroyed to be
made good.
ESCAPE FROM AN AUATII.TAN PRISON.—The Augsburg
Gazette announces that three political offenders, Dr.
Schutte and two military officers, who were not included
in the recent amnesty of the Emperor of Austria, effected
their escape about a fortnight ago, fr )m the fortress of
Josephstadt, in Bohemia. They had, it appears, for seree
time made a practice of lying in bed to a very late hew,
and as they appeared to be asleep, the turnkey abstained
from disturbing them. One morning a turnkey having
something to say to Schutte went to awaken him, but was
surprised to find that the bolster dressed up occupied his
place in the bed, and on examining the beds of the other
two prisoners, he found them similarly occunird. On
investigation, it was ascertained that the three prisoners
had escaped by the chimney ; but in a granary at the: top
of the building they had found a rope ladder. which
n us-
have been placed there by some one connected with the e r-
tress, whom they had gained over; and that they had then !te
themselves down into the fates of the fortress. They hod
then, it appeared, gone straight to a place called ✓Nee-
s'adt, ab-mt eight miles off, where they breakfasted, after
which they passed into Prussia, and have n-,t since beet,
heard of. Dr. Schutte left on his table a letter for the
commander of the fortress, thanking him for his kin 1 esa
daring his confinement, and promising to let him ten
tTirough the newspapers of his difinitive retreat. Schutte
was under sentence of twenty years' impes,runew fur
having taken part in the in?urreclion of Vienna in 1818.

BREACH OF PROHIiE OF MARESAGE.—TII,I 1,110 ,1,.; f.e-
ac,ion is from Devo'shire :—A widower a'd ,w,
whose united ages amounted to 121 years, ev're eng,iged
to be married. The widower had a housekeeper, to whom
he dreaded to confide the secret of his intended rretrritge.
On-the morning of the day fix,l for its celebratien, how-
ever, he could not keep the secret any longer, so with
fear and trembling he went and informed the ivies« ii,ence.
of i". Like Mrs. Bar.dell, she immediately fell into the
arms of the bewildered widower—not, however, upbraid-
ing him as a "gay deceiver," but tenderly careering Lire,
and warmly kissing the furrowed cheeks of the man of
nearly threescore yenta and tea, and giving proof of her
love for hire by shedding copious tears. What w,s h
to do ? How could he resist the touching impel-unity
of the off.ctionate housekeeper?—" Oh ! doae't'ee, zor—
doan't'ee marry her—you may marry me, z'ir, if you
will." The part wa, so well played; the te.irs were o
melting; the tenderness so touching ; and the denionetra-
Con an unexpected and overpowering, that the aged
widower is reported to have burst into tears, and exclaimed,
11'ng my buttons if I doan't put off the widder !" ;le
seized his hat, and, in the heat of his newly-awakened
passion, rushed to the domicile of the widow. told her the
altered state of his feelings, begged her to think no more
of him, for she was "growing 01d.," and she deserve:' a
better mate, Sec., all of which ended by the widox's
retirement to_her closet, and so the affair ended.—Bristol
divertiser.
