On the 6th M, Lent informed the Court that the
witness Palcz-iwski had been heard by one of the
accused to say, on the preceding evening, to one of
the gaolers, "I almost think I would rather have
spoken differently; " to which the gacler replied,
"If you had, you would have got--." The Pre-
sident said he would take a note of the fact, and
then called the witness Faugcret.
Faureget said he was a Frenchman, and had pro-
ceeded to Posen as a volunteer for the insurrection,
for which purpose ho had received 100 f. from the
Polish Committee at Paris. The object of the
committees and the subscriptions at Paris was to
restore the whole of ancient Poland, including the
proviso.? of Posen. After a tong cross-examination,
in which the above were the only important points
elicited, the witness requested that he might be
allowed time to rest.

The accused W. Loncki was then examined on a
charge of having collected taxes in the district of
Bakow, founded on the following memorandum of
Count Dzialynski 800 thatrs, rectApfp,
district, from W. Loneki." It appear«l, however,
from the evidence of Miss E. Szczlniecka, a lady
known and honoured throughout Poland for •her
patriotic devotedness, and on whose appearance all
the accused stood up, that this sum had been sent
by herself to the Count through her nephew, Sigis-
mund Loneki.

The Spanish war steamer Pizarro was at St.

The screw steam yacht Midge, R. T. Y. C. (Mr
S. Pittar, owner), arrived at St. Thomas from the
Spanish main on the 20th of August, and was under
steam homewardbound when the Tasmanian sailed.
Yellow fever was prevalent among the shipping

M. Brachvogel then read some letters from the
witness Faugeret, in which the latter offers to act
as a spy and a witness for the prosecution, adding
that " ho will henceforth serve the Prussian autho-
rities with the same zeal as ho did on the other side
before he knew the Poles." In another letter he
says that "ho will not spare even his own country.

Rain at all the islands, and very heavy weather
experienced by the mail steamer Conway between
Barbadoes and St. Kitts.
Sickness on the increase at St. Thomas on shore,
but the shipping continues healthy.
A slight shock of earthquake was felt at Jamaica
on the 23d of August, but without any damage.
JAMAICA.—The ceremony of the inauguration of
his Excellency Governor Eyre took place on the
23d of August. The oaths were administered by
Sir Bryan Edwards, Chief Justice, after which the
Right Rev. Bishop Courtenay presented an address
from the various clergy of the island, which was
feelingly responded to by his Excellency. Trade
in general was in a depressed condition. Exchange
on London, 90 days, 1 per cent. ; 60 days, 1f per
cent.'; 30 days, 2 per cent.
TRINIDAD.—The cane cultivation looked very
promising, and planters anticipated good returns
for 1865. Freights, 23 3d for molasses, 28 6d for
sugar, and 2s 9d for cocoa. Exchange, 90 days,
487 doll; 60 days, 490 dols; 30 days, 493 dols.
Trade rather dull. Preparations were being made

Sigismund Niezolewski and F. Molinka were
examined on the charge of being functionaries of
the National Government, their names being men•
tioned in the Dzialynski memoranda. Nothing,
however, was established against them, and they
were at once liberated, together with W. Loncki.
A policeman named Jordens having been brought
up to give evidence respecting the revision in the
Dzialyneki palace, M. Elven proposed to put some
questions to him respecting certain police kbuses in
which he had taken part, but th 3 Court declared
such questions irrelevant, and then closed the
sitting.
The sitting of the 7th was entirely occupied with
the examination of witnesses in the cases of King,
Ohnstein, and Hoffman, tradesmen of Posen,
charged with having sold arms to the insurgents,
and ended with the liberation of Hoffman, Ohnstein,
Obcrfclt, Kaniewski, and Jaroezynski. Oberfelt's
shop, however, is still to remain closed.
On the Bth two witnesses, named Samolik and

Przbylski, deposed that the accused Matuszewski,
tailor, had incited them to join the insurrection.
When cross-examined by the President end M.
Lisiecki, however, the former admitted that ho had
been in prison as a rogue and a vagabond, and the
latter that ho had robbed Prince Radziwill of a pair
of pistols.
The President then called the witness Faugeret,
who admitted that the letters which had been read
at the last sitting were his.
The Crown prosecutor said that, of course, his
proposal to be employed as a spy was rejected by
the Prussian authorities.
The witness then said ho had offered himself as a

to give a cordial reception to his Excellency Gover-
nor Sutton, who succeeds Governor Keats in the
administration, .

BARBADOES.—Throughout the island the crops of
canes were in first rate condition. Shipments of

will be about 6,000 hogsheads; cocoa, 8,000 bags ;
cotton, 800 bales.

no pay from the Poles. A letter from M. Kruger,
a high Prussian official, was read, in which ho
states he cannot make the witness any offer until
he knows the nature of the evidence which would
be brought forward. The witness added that at
Irngth he came to an agreement with M. Kruger,
by which all his expenses were to bo paid. lie had,
however, only as yet received his travelling ex.

milieu had invited Juarez and other Liberal chiefs
to come to the city of Mexico to consult together
on a plan for metering peace and the firm establish-
ment of the empire, guaranteeing them full protec-
tion and safety. They refused to accede to this
request. Juarez's answer had been published.
S' LUClA...—During the fortnight, owing to re-
freshing showers, a decided change for the better
was visible in the young canes throughout the
island. Business very dull, the crop being over.
But little money in circulation, and the banks are
charging 4821- dols per £lOO sterling for their 90
days' bille. Rum—Stocks heavy, but very little
demand. - -

M. Even and Professor Gneist submitted that this
witness be no longer heard. To take the evidence
of such a min was mere lass of time.

Tue President then said it appeared from a letter
from the Foreign 11Lnister to M. Kruger that the
witness had been paid during his first visit to
13erlia his travelling tspenscs and 10 thalers for
tivo or six days' living ; and ihe Cuart decidul that.
he should be at once di6inisst.d.

No news of importance has been received from
the South Pucific.
From Peru we !coin that in consequence of the
inactivity of the Court of Madrid. in reference to the
seizure of the Chincha Islands, several members of
the Mtnistry at Lima had resigned, and on the 11th
of August a new Cabinet was formed, by which it
is hoped that more energy will be displayed in the
matter, and that a better feeling will he felt between
Congress and the Government. The iron-plated
monitor Victoria was launched on the 30th of July.
N.-ALTAR:IIBO.—A bill had been passed for form-
ing a new department in the Custom-house for col•
letting and embodying the statistics of trade, and
a privilege has been accorded to the Corrinl Rail-
way Company for an extension of their track. Ex.

The railway in Vent zuela from Zucacos to the
Aroa mines was proceeding rapidly, and the con-
tractor (Mr S. Pater) has returned to England to
make further arrangements for its immediate com-
pletion. Political affairs were assuming a more
tranquil aspect in this district.

The Perfect Partiality of Russellisni,

(Front the Dublin Evening Mail.)
Tho last London Gazette conthins a notice which, accord..

ing to the editorial apologists for Earl Russell's mingled
craft and weakness, supplies additional and powerful evi-
dence to the perfect impartiality (sic) observed by her
Majesty's Government towards the belligerents in America.
What that impartiality has been the public do not need to
be told ; and we venture to say that the additional evidence
will lead them to a very different conclusion from that which
the writer hastens to bespeak, with a suspicion that his case
is hollow. The words of the Gazatc notification are these :
—" Foreign-office, Sept. B.—lt is hereby notified that her
Majesty has been pleased to order that for the future, no
ship of war belonging to either of the belligerent Powers of
North America shall be allowed to enter, or to remain, or
be, in any of her Majesty's ports for the purpose of being
dismantled or sold ; and her Majesty has been pleased to give
directions to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs,
and to the governors of her Majesty's colonies and foreign
possessions, to see this order is properly carried into effect,"
The making of the order applicable to both of the belli-
gerents is altogether too fine a stroke of Russellism. The
Federals are under no necessity to enter our ports to dis-
pose of ships which may not suit their purposes. They will
not be placed under any disability by the regulation. Their
own ports are open, and they can sell ships suitable for
warfare in British harbours, after dismantling them in their
own, or purchase them in England, and equip them else-
' where. The Confederate Government aro differently cir-
cumstanced, and the Foreign Office order is a burden on
them alone. Our Ministers have already denied them the
right to buy unarmed ships in British dockyards; now they
are for bidden to sell ships in British ports that have become
peaceful merchantmen. It is Confederate ownership that
constitutes the offence 1 It we honestly recognised the rights
of the parties as belligerents, we should make no distinction
between dismantling or arming a ship at sea, and going
through those operations in a port belonging to the country
whose flag was carried, The lawyers have been fertile in
sophistries to shelter Earl Russell's perfect partiality and
will doubtless atempt todefend the now order by some involved
ratiocinative process,but the public cannot be mystified about
a matter so palpably capable of one construction only.
There is yet another trick in this artful Gosett: sentence.
rho regulation is to be applicable " for the future." What,
then, about the ease of the Georgia? We aro semi-offi-
cially informed that the notification has been put in this
form in order not to bar the " legal rights" of the British
owner who purchased that vessel in a British port, from
Confederate vendors. It is not at all meant, however, that
those rights will be recognised by the Government, and a
demand preferred for the restoration of that vessel. The
Times is authorised to state that they have "declined to
interfere in the case of the steamer Georgia, seized off Lis•
bon by the Federal frigate Niagara. It is difficult to under-
stand what legal rights remain to the owner under these
circumstances, The Americans have seized his ship; they
have taken it to New York ; they will condemn it on their
own principles ; and what remedy will the British purchaser
have, now that the Government deny him that protection
to which he had a double claim in consequence of the pre-
cautions he took when applying for a British register ? It
will be remembered that Mr. Bates before completing the
purchase, wrote to the Custom-house authorities at Livers
pool to ascertain whether he would be proceeding legally in
buying the vessel, then dismantled and restored to original
character—that of an ordinary merchant ship. The collector
consulted the Government, and on their being satisfied
that the purchase was bona fide, and the vessel to be em-
ployed in peaceful commetee, 111,:y authorised rho granting
a register. The l'oreign-t,fliL!e now turns its back upon
all this, and with an effrontery unparalleled oven in Earl
Russell's administration, " declines to interfere." The
o new order" is intended to make that prostration before the
Federal Government more completely satisfactory to the
oljects of his unworthy timidity. It .is thus that Ear

A. telegram arrived at Lloyd's on Saturday which has
caused a flutter among the Anglo-Federal party. Captain
Semmes is said to have re-appeared in the neighbourhood
of Bremer-haven, common ing a frigate pierced for 40 guns,
and having 300 turn on board ; and that daring offic,!r will,
doubtless, soon exact reparation after his own fashion for
the seizure of the Georgia as well as the loss of the Alabama,
