(Sitting, Est Nisi Prius at Guilihall, before C-lo LORD
CHIEF BARON arid a Coove,,ri Jury.)
WINDLE V. ANDERSON.

In this action, vihich war hc,qightf:;t: a bre,%ch of con-
tract, ttei plaintiffs were Me,3,rs. V.7indle and Company,
ship brokers, of Gould-zuare, Minories, and the
fenlauts wore r-i.,i:re.Audtori and merchants.
Mr. Bramwell Eo7,d Mr. Hawkins op Fared for the
plaintitf!.; and Mr. Butt for the ddendants.
The particulars-of the ca;e were bri,,fly as follows:—
On the 30th J,nuary, 1851, the defendants entered
into a contract r.ith ;be plaintiffs for the importation of
between 400 and 500 tons of rough ice from Norway.
The plaintiffs accerdiogly chart, red a veliat-I calhAl the
Prima, which pro ended her voyage to Nor ,7ay, and
bhe arrived in England with a full cargo of ice on
the 2a of April. Notice was given to the defendatts
of her arrival, with alit quest, that they would clear the
cargo, but they neslecteft to do so. The plaintiffs Cub-
"cluntlY th ice.; tut the market price having in
the wean time they did so_ at', a great reduc-
tion. The action was brought to reco-ter the cliff-Tepee
between the amount obtained from the sale and the
amount of freightae agreed upon bf-tween the 'parties.
No defence was off'red, and a verdict by consent was
fond for the phintiffi for 1251.

•
CRIMINAL COURT -(THIS DAY )
OLD COUR7'.
(I3ecere Mr. Baron PLATT.)
MunDEn.—David Belusco, fined 27, dercribed as a
tailor, was p,aced the deck, charged with the wilful
minder of Robert Clarke.
Mr. Iluddlestone conducted the ca'e fer the pent-ca-
tion, 4uri Mr. Ballantitie, with whom was Mr. Robinson,
for the defence.
This case has been so recently before the public that
the facts must be familiar to our reeders. The ptieemer
was the keeper of a house of ill-iaree, in Banbury collie,
dart-street, and a f-ev wet ks ego the deceased, %bile in
a state of intoxicate n, repaired there late at night, with
two wcanen. They were showo up wens, hut it was
then found that .the deceased had no money, and the
pristmer went up to twit them out. A scuffl4 then
en'ued, owing.to one of the girls calling the deceased
• "-Irian" and. his nfternarda refusing to leave the
. piece,
,and. in the course of the anercatiou the
prisentn ,pushed_ the .deeeesed, and he fell down the
• , stairs, Masking lire heck in the tall. • ',D,e deceased
• never :rote rpm; but the prisoner, assisted by some one
• , else, lifted the body- up and pleced.it egeinst die wall en
the house on the opposi•e sine of .the court. The priso-
ner then sent for some gin, and treated the two women,
telling them to'say nothing übeat what had occurred,
• but as they left the howe• they eecountered a policeman,
- 13 whim they,rela,ted what fsken p!ace, and the prisoner
was taken into custody. ...This aspect of the, cate was
deposed to by the two wrens D. . The prisoner, before he
knocked the deceased down, pulled and pushed him
' about very much, end one of the ,iris said, " ain't
hurt the men," and the prisoner replied, " You are a
woman of the world, and ought to know better," and
neither. of them interfered to prevent the ill usege.
lair. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defence,
• and aftereards prom•eded to can a woman, who said she
• seas a servant of the house, and who gave a fist contra
diction to the statement of the two females. Mrs.
Belaeco and the two women were trying, she said, to
get the deceased away, when one of the girls pushed
against him aid be fell down the stairs head foremost
The prisoner, she swore, was not on the landing at all,
. and all that he did was to shake him while ha lay on
Boer at the bottom of the stairs, and she it was who
carried nix out into the court. There was a man and a
Nvonitin int the front patent during the disturbance, and
the latter, a Jewess, swore-that-the prisoner was smil-
ing a pipe in the parlour when the altercation took place
upstairs. She heard the deceased fail, and the prisoner
opened the parlour-door and tried to shake him up, but
she saw that it was a woman's quarrel, and advised him
to return to the parlour and leave the girls to settle it,
which he did.
Mr. Baron PLATT summed up, and
- The jury, without any hesitation, found the prisoner
Guilty of manslaughter, and upon their expressing en
-opieion that two of the witni-sses for the prisoner,
. a man named Turner, aad a woman named Levinson, had
t. committed perjurY, the Learned Judge ordered them
into custody to be tiled for that offence.
The prisoner wag sentenced to be kept to hard labour
for twelve months.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
John Middleton, the person who was on Wednesday
last a second time remanded upon the charge of sending
a threatening letter to the Elrl of Derby, was this day
again brought up before Mr. Henry.
The MAGISTRATE having heard further medical evi-
dence of the prisoner's insanity, said that he must sign
an order for his removal.to the Asylum at Colney Hatch,
"less his friends were prepared to give bail for his safe
keeping.
Mr. Baxter, the gentleman who had on previous occa-
sions shown great interest in the prisoner's affairs, de-
clared himself ready to pat in the necessary bail; but

ATLANLIC AND PAcIFIe sIIIP CANAL

COVPANY.

By the advices this ;;Wit from New York, it appears
that cot mit,sioners from the American Atlantic and Pa-
cific Ship Canal Company.were expected to leave a'most
immediately for England, together with Colour! Childs
(formerly the chid engineer of the S.ate of New York),
to submit, according to the London egrei meet of
bet', 1850, the completed eurwys and estimates of the
work. It will be remembered th..t the negotiations at
that period resulted in a pledge on the pare of some of
our leading firms, that if the undertAilig were found
practicable 'at a cost that would promise a fair revenue,
it should be introduced with all their influence to the
English public, the company, in return, pledging them•
selves to allow, under those circumstances, a participa-
tion, upon equitatle terms, to the extent of one•hdf,
so that the antcre:sts of Great Brit.lin and America
might be idevtical. It is now understood that, after
a thorough exploration by himself and his exploring
corps, the report of Colonel Childs will demon-
strate that, byth as regards etist and difficulty, the
enterprise wilt not only be less serious
.than many of
the ordinary undertskings carried out in the Unttud
Statee, but Such us to cause surprise that it should
ever ve been negleCted. Instead of the elevation of
'487 feet, supposed to exist on the slip of land which
separates Lake Nicaragua from the Pacific, it seen s

that the highest rise is 48 feet, %hi'ce with regard to the
river San Juan it hr.s beea found that the greater part
is. perfectly available; and that in the portion where
the river cannot be Used the excavation will be through
laud entirely level end without rock. Under these
circumstances the company, it is raid, aro pre.
pared immediately to precec d, either alone or
in coteurreeee with .Ewglaed, as may be decided
upon. The temporary transit which was opened in July,
1851, has yielded a return which is proportionately'
without xamp'e, and inspired by this experience and by
the_ardour wnich is now mantle:Ail-1g itself on the sub.
Pot throughout the entire Union, the leaders of the tin-
' dertakingswhile they expess an undiminished desire for
, a Mutual arraug.raent, state themselves at the same time
• to be indisposed to any further detcy. A prompt and final
adjustment of the question is, therefore tole anticipated.
In the eighteen months which have °elapsed since the
commissioners originaliy visited England the Australian
discoveries have doubled the urgency as well as the
temptations of the work, and the intentions of the United
• States tO seek a direct in(ercourse with •Japan, and to
establish forthwith a steam route to China, have also
developed new motives of a momentous character. The
impulses towards an immediate settlement are, therefore,
of the strongest kind, and there can also be no doubt
that in case the company should require it, their own
Government will be prepared. to aid them to the full ex-
tent of its constitutional powers.—Times.

LITERATURE.
CONFESSIONS OF AN ETONIAN. By

C. Row croft. Colburn.
To those who enjoy kytches end amusing
anecdotes, this book will afford gnat entert,ioment.
Thangli nominally the autobiography of an Etonian,
there is very little about Eton. The hero wanders
about in it 'itirections, and certainly with very ill
luck attending him, which no one can wonder at
from his imprudent actions and want of resolution.
After twice mistaking one young lady for another,
he was compe&cl to ti4ht a duel with the brother of
the one mistaken by him for the object of his regard
The consequences were very distressing—he wounded
his antagonist dangerously, nod WAS ()bilged to.fly to
France. There new troubles awaited him. Meeting
with his inamorata abroad, and not wishing to baz trd
an encounter with her family und,r the circumstances,
he changed his name and assumed a diTgtti^e ; but the
French au boritie mistook him for a thief' avoiding.
justice. He was sciz,d, searched, and c,rtainly the
apprltrances 'were most unpropitious for his. cause.
Alerwards he e fl,cted his through the
intervention of a friend. Sub,equently ho eon-
trived in disguse to enter the pretence of ti fair
Lavinia end her redoubtable aunt; but it did not
further his purpone much, for it nrls not until after
many more trouble s had been endured, and many
mom dialatties overcome, that ho utlatt enjoyed
good fortune.

•
A JOURNEY TO THE TEA COUNTRIES
OF CH IN A. Bu Robert Fortune, Author
rf
" Three Years of Wanderings in Cknu." Murray.
This work includes A visit 10 Sung-to and the
Bohea 1111 s, and a notice of the East India Coin-
p4ny's tea plantations in the liiinalayaMonntains.
The author obtirerves, "As I went far inland, and
visied many districts almost unknown to Europeans,
I now venture to lay an account of my travels and
their results before the public. My object is to give
a peep into the Celestial Empire, to show • its strange
and romantic valleys, its rivers and canals, its
nstural productio:is, whether in the field, or on the
hill side, or in the garden, and its strange and inte-
resting people, us they were seen by me in their every-
day lite. As I hope my readers will accompany me
through the whole of my journey, I shall hive th 6-.
pleasure of taking them to India and the Ininalayes,
and showing them the Government tea plantations,
from which much is expected, and which are likely
to prove of great advantage, not only to India, but
also to England and her wide-spreading colonic," It
will therefore be seen that the descripti.ms and
experience of the author are not limited to
any particular spot. Trier,' are sixteen illustrations,
of which the most striking is a view in the green tea
district, the mode of gathering the ling, and a bird',.l
eye view of the Stream of Nine Windings. The
method of gathering the ling is very singular. It
is a plant that grows in the water, and produces a
fruit that is much esteemed. Women and boys sail
about in tubs. Their appearance is said to be very
ludicrous, "swimming on the lake each in 'his tub."
The account of drying the leaves of the -tea plant is
very interesting—L; shows the different treatment of
the black and green tea. The writer gives a more
favourable idea of the country than of the inhabitants ;
though he does not absolutely accuse them himself,
we gather from his piges that they are avariniouii
and false, with very little regard for the truth. , The,
amount of information to be obtained trona the volume
is considerable, and the readers must feel grca!,
satit-
faction in the successful results of the journey of •-en,
painstaking and persevering a traveller.
