THE SU N, LONDON,

progressing in a very satisfactory and encouraging
manner. At the Bremier Mine, they have cut a
productive lode in the 9 fm. level, which is large, and
carrying some very rich work.
The Australian Mining Company have received
dispatches from the mines to July 18th. The agent's
report of the operations is highly gratifying ; im-
provements and new discoveries are frequently pre-
sented, and there is every prospect of this mine
(Tungkillo) becoming permanent and productive.
Goad's stopes and winzes are represented as equally
productive as last reported.
Letters from the Linares Mines to the 21st Oct.
have been received. The water is gradually although
slowly receding, which is some evidence of the ex-
tent of the old workings. The engine, continues to
perform her duty well. From what has been seen,
and the general opinion entertained, there is every
reason to anticipate favourable results, when once in
fork.

THE QUEEN V. HATILAND.

Mr. FYNW moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the
Justices of Sussex to show cause why a mandamus
should not issue commanding them to issue a dis-
tress warrant against a Mr. Haviland for the recovery
of poor-rates in arrear, to the extent of 501. 12s. 6d.
This case would raise a question which had never yet
been decided, namely,whether a certificate in bankruptcy
was a bar to a distress for poor-rates, under the 43d of
Elizabeth. The rate was made on the 24th of November,
1848; on the 25th it was allowed; and on the 26th it
was published. On the 23d of December a fiat in
bankruptcy was issued against Mr. Haviland, and on the
9th of March, 1849, the bankrupt obtained his certificate.

farm to his own use, although they were sown before the
fiat was issued. Probably this case would never have been
heard of had it not been fur the decision of the Court that
a certificate in bankruptcy, or an insolvent debtor's dis-
charge, was no bar to a distress for rent. At the hear-
ing before the magistrates an objection was taken oil
behalf of the defendant that rent was for the use of land,
but a poor-rate was a personal tax, not on the land, but
in respect of its occupation, and therefore it was barred
by the certificate in bankruptcy. On the other hand, it
was argued that the omission to pay the rate was a quasi
criminal neglect, and that by the 43d of Elizabeth the
rate could not be treated as a debt.
Mr. Justice PATTESON granted a rule nisi.

NOVEL ♦PPLICATION.

Mr. HOGGINS applied to his Lordship for attachment
against an individual named Stubbs, for contempt of
Court. He moved upon an affidavit, which stated that
the deponent had served a writ of subpoena upon Stubbs,
in a case in which his father was the defendant, and
when he did so Stubbs tore up the copy of the writ in a
great rage, using contemptuous expressions in reference
to the Court, and threatening to kick the server if he
did not immediately get out of his sight. The deponent
added that he had other copies to serve in the same
house, but uniess he bad the protection of the Court he
was atraid to go there in the performance of his duty.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—You may take a rule nisi.
Mr. HOGGINS wished his Lordship to make the rule
absolute in the rst instance.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said it was not usual to do so in
applications for attachments.
.Rule nisi accordingly.

THE HAGUE, Nov, 2.•—"l'he new Ministers, MM.
THORBECKE, VAN SONSBEECK, STRENGLER, and
PAHUD, took the oaths yesterday, at the hand of the
KING. M. VAN BOSSE, having been a member of
the former Cabinet, was of course exempted from
taking the oath.
MM. VAN ROSETHAL and LUCAS have not yet
arrived in this capital ; the former is expected on
Monday.
The Second Chamber will not commence its sit
tings on the 6th, for which day it had been convoked.
"The session is prorogued until the 13th. This pro-
rogation was considered necessary in order to give
the new Cabinet time to prepare their programme,
which is anxiously looked for.—Handelsblad.

The Stoats Courant publishes some intelligence
received by the Government by the last overland
mail, from Java and Madura, of the Customs dues.
It appears that during the first seven months of the
year 1849 the import and export duties brought in a
net sum of 3,837,987 37ifl. This result shows an
augmentation of 458,668 05f1., compared with the
same period of 1847, and of 715,633 05fl. compared
with that of 1848.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
BARNEWILL, PUBLIC OFFICER, V. SUTHERLAND.
Mr. GURNEY applied in this case, which was tried
before the Chief Baron, at the last Surrey Assizes, and
in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff, for a rule
to show cause why a new trial should not be had, or
why a verdict should not be entered for the defendant,
the latter part of the application being made without the
consent of the Learned Judge. The whole of the pro-
ceedings in the case until a short time previous to the
period of the trial were brought in the name of Taylor,
a public officer of a banking company, but owing to his
death the action was continued in the name of Bernewall.
It appeared that the commission. day for the assizes was
on the 6th (,f August last, and late in the evening of the
sth, and after the defendant's attorney had left his office,
the plaintiff's attorney served a notice, intimating the
fact, and stating that it would be entered on the re-
cord, and that the trial would proceed in the name of
the present plaintiff. The motion was made on the
ground that the trial took place without the defendant
having any opportunity of traversing the suggestion on
the record, the Learned Counsel submitting that this
%%as an important point, for it was an every-day practice
to deny the plaintiff being a public officer, because, if he
were really and truly nut so, the company were not
liable for costs if they were defeated. He also contended
that under the 7th end Bth Victoria, the statute amend-
• ing and enlarging the Banking Act of 7 George IV., the
action had actually abated on the death of the public

officer.
The Court granted a rule on the first point.

L YAUHT SQUADRON INTEL LIGENCE.
Prince Albert's cup was to have been sailed for to-
day,s
but only one yacht having been entered, the match
th
put off till Mmnday next. It was first proposed that a
. cup should be sailed for by schooners above 140
4°lls, but only one entered, the Wyvern, of 205 tons ; it
was then offered to schooners above 75 tons, and under
140, but nete entered; it is now offered to be contested
for by schooners of any tonnage, on Monday next.
ar Majesty's Cup is to be sailed for on Friday, but
there ppesr, the same difficulty in obtaining competi-
tors: only three yachts have yet entered—the Arrow,
of 84 tons; the Dryad, of 85 tons; and the Cygnet, of
35 tons. It being a time race, the Dryad will have to
give the Cygnet 25 minutes! but for this, several large
Yachts would have entered. It is high time the time
races were laid on the shelf. The match that is wanted
is between such vessels as the Talisman, Arrow, Gon-
dola, Sultana, and their class, if such yachts are to sail
at all;
u( tE4 or 95-ton yachts with 35-ton ones. On
llouday no time is to be allowed, but the yacht that gets
in first by fair sailing is to win.
About 40 noblemen and gentlemen are expected to
dine t ,gether at the annual dinner to-morrow. We
used to see 70, and should again if it was not for the
Llack balls.

is reported that Chief Justice Halliburton (the
author of " Sam Slick") intends to retire from public
life shortly on a pension.—Halifax Recorder.

A SAIL ON THE DEAD SEA.
At 3.25 passed the extreme western point, where
the river is 180 yards wide and three feet deep, and
entered upon the Dead Sea ; the water, a nauseous
compound of bitters and salts. A fresh north-west,
wind was blowing as we rounded the point. IN e
endeavoured to steer a little to the north of west,
to make a true west course, and threw the patent log
overboard to measure the distance ; but the wind
rose so rapidly that the boats eould not keep head to
wind, and we were obliged to haul the log in. The
sea continued to rise with the increasing wind, which
gradually freshened to a gale, and presented an agi-
tated surface of foaming brine; the spray, evaporating
as it fell, left incrustations of salt upon our clothes,
our bands, and faces ; and while it conveyed a prickly
sensation wherever it touched the skin, was above
all exceedingly painful to the eyes. The boats,
heavily laden, struggled sluggishly at first; but when
the wind freshened in its fierceness, from the density
of the water, it seemed as if their bows were encoun-
tering the sledge-hammers of the Titans, instead of
the opposing waves of an angry sea. At
5.40, finding that we were losing every
moment, and that, with the lapse of each
succeeding one, the danger increased, kept away
for the northern shore, in the hope of being yet able
to reach it ; our arms, our clothes, and skins, coated
with a greasy salt ; and our eyes, lips, and nostrils,
smarting excessively. How different was the
scene before the submerging of the plain, which
was
" even as the garden of the Lord 1" At times
it seemed as if the dread Almighty frowned upon
our efforts to navigate a sea, the creation of his
wrath. There is a tradition among the Arabs
that no one can venture upon this sea and live.
Repeatedly the fates of Costigan and Molyneaux
had been cited to deter us. The first one spent
a few days, the last about twenty hours, and re-
turned to the place from whence he had embarked,
without landing upon its shores. One was found
dying upon the shore ; the other expired in November
last, immediately after his return, of fever contracted
uponits waters. But, although the sea had assumed
a threatening aspect, and the fretted mountains,
sharp and incinerated, loomed terrific on either
side, the salt and ashes mingled with its sands, and
foetid sulphurous springs trickled down its ravines,
we did not despair ; awe-struck, but not terrified ;
fearing the worst, yet hoping for the best, we pre-
pared to spend a dreary night upon the, dreariest
waste we had ever seen. At 5.58, the wind instan-
taneously abated, and with it the sea as rapidly fell ;

twenty minutes from the time we bore away from a
sea which threatened to engulph us, we were pulling
away at a rapid rate, over a placid sheet of water,
that scarcely rippled beneath us ; and a rain cloud,
which had enveloped the sterile mountains of the
Arabian shore, lifted up, and left their rugged out-
lines basking in the light of the setting sun.—Lynch's
Expedition to the Dead Sea.

HESSE CASSEL•

---- -
The Cologne Gazette has the following :—" The
Ministerial crisis assumes threatening proportions
at Cassel. The ELECTOR did not believe that all
those to whom he offered the Ministry would re-
fuse him their co-operation. He has dismissed
his five Ministers, and for the moment he has
no responsible Cabinet. The Commission of the
States has declared itself en permanence. The report
of the departure of the Prince is happily not confirmed,
for such an illegal act would, according to Art.
7 of the Constitution, have led to the establishment of
a regency. Numerous petitions have been addressed
from all quarters to the Elector to make him com-
prehend the position in which he is placed, and to
express a hope that none of those who possess the
confidence of the smallest fraction of the people will
endeavour, contrary to his honour, to place themselves
at the head of the Administration in the room of the
Ministry that have been dismissed."

PRUSSIA.
The Prussians shot TLEDMANN, the Commandanta

RUSSIA.

The town of Bogussla, in the province of Kiew,
has just been visited by a fire, which commenced
outside the walls, in an establishment of baths, and,
being carried forward by the wind, soon gained the
interior. In less than two hours 136 houses, 202
shops, 42 stores filled with corn and flour, the syna-
gogue, and four Jewish oratories, were consumed.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CURISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.
—At the monthly meeting of this society, held on Tues-
day, in Lincoln's Inn. fields, his Grace the Archbishop
of Canterbury presiding, the repont of the committee
stated that during the past year seven works of no in
considerable magnitude had been completed under their
directions. The works in question were—an edition of
Luther's German Bible; the French version of the Old
Testament; an Italian New Testament; the Book of
Common Prayer, in Portuguese; a new edition of the
Prayer•book, in French; an edition of the Society's
Greek Prayer-book; and a new translation of the
Liturgy into the Danish Language. The German Bible
and the Portuguese Prayer-book had been for some time
in circulation; and of the latter of these the board,
at their last April meeting, made a grant of a
considerable number of copies to Mr. Cassels,
of Oporto, to whose exertions they were in-
debted for the original manuscript. With the aid of a
sub•committee of Oriental scholars, Dr. Lee and Mr. Fares
were engaged in revising and correcting a new edition
of the Prayer-book in Arabic. The third volume of the
Septuagint, printing at Athens, was ready for publica-
tion. In consequence of an increased demand for the
Prayer-book in Dutch at Cape Town, the committee,
with the assistance of the Rev. Dr. Bosworth, had corn-
mencrd a thorough revision of the work, and they
trusted soon to put forth the most complete and correct
translatien of the Liturgy in the Dutch language over
produced. Several other editions of the Bible and
Liturgy were in progress. On the motion of the Rev.
Dr. Burgess, seconded by Mr. J. Hunt, the report was
agreed to; and, after thanks to the chairman, the meet-
ing adjourned to the of October.
REPRESENTATION or WESTMEATII.—Mr. W. H.
Magan, one:of the members for this county, is to accept

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDA.T.—For most numbers and
qualities of yarns some further advance has been re-
quired to-day. In this upward course spinners have
felt themselves urged on by the continued rise in
cotton. They have found it very difficult, however,
to carry the buyers along with them. The ma-
nufacturers hesitate ; the India merchants are
waiting the arrival of the mail ; and the continental
houses are disposed to watch the effect of the
large shipments of previous purchases, which
are now going out, before committing themselves to
extensive operations at much higher prices. There
has been some degree of irregularity in the market,
however ; for, while most parties agree in stating that
little business has been done, there are others who
report a fair amount of transactions, on the whole, for
the German, the Russian, the Mediterranean, and the
home markets. In what has been done the full prices
of last week have at least been paid, and, to some
extent, more or less of an advance.
The goods market has also been, for the most
part, inanimate. It has, indeed, been easy to dispose
of printers' cloths, and the lower qualities have
shown a tendency to still higher prices. But the
wider skirtings, particularly of the lower qualities,
and various other articles suitable for India, are expe-
riencing a diminished inquiry, and the prices of some
of them are not fully sustained. Long cloths, T's,
and domestics are still neglected.
We have advices from New York to the 31st July.
The operations of speculators had raised the price of
cotton t c to kc. per lb. Spinners were buying from
hand to mouth. Little was doing for France, and
nothing for England. The manufacturers of heavy
cottons were still labouring under large stocks, with
little demand and deressed rics. The accounts of
the wheat crop were very good, and prices were still
rather declining.
goßodocinuanrAkLeto-day,El
MO AT.—There has been another
and the flannels were eagerly
bought up before noon. Heavy goods, such as ker-
seys, have been dull of sale, and the transactions
have been more limited than on the previous week.
In wool prices remain steady, with little business
doing.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Stocks continue very

low, and middling class of goods meet with ready,
sale, especially those adapted for the foreign markets.
Prices remain firm, and the late advance seems to be
fully maintained.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have no particular
change to notice this week, in our report of the state
of trade, either in wools, in yarns, or in manufactured
goods, everything remaining about the same as re-
ported in our last.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—LittIe business done in the
Cloth-halls to day, and we can quote no alteration in
prices.

The KING has sent the following Royal note to the
Ministers declining their tendered resignation :
" Gentlemen,

" From your letter of the 19th I have seen which vote
of the Second Chamber it was which induced you to
tender your resignation. Your grounds, I admit, are
just, but I greatly lament the circumstance, because I do
not think I could find a Ministry of patriotic men more
deserving of my confidence and of the confidence of the
country. Before I ca❑ accept your resignation, I shall
expect to receive a communication from the Chambers,
and if it be such as you anticipate, I must try whether I
can find a Ministry of honest men who can submit a
programme suitable to the government of Hanover, and
this I conceive to be a matter of no little difficulty.
" You, gentlemen, have, in your administration, laid
the foundation of the future constitution and govern-
ment of the kingdom, with great wisdom and judgment,
and I grieve for the country,that it is not to receive the
completion of the work from your hands, for it is im-
possible for any man completely to carry out the ideas
of another.

" I thank you, gentlemen, for your past services, but i
it s indispensable that you should continue the adminis-
tration of the Government till I can look about mo and
see what kind of Cabinet I can form. Then only can I
accept your resignation, and if we should be obliged to
part, you will ever possess the confidence of your King.

THREE o'CLocx.—The unfavourable accounts re-

funds to-day. The feeling is so completely established
here, that both France and England have determined
that there shall be no war, that any warlike tendency
shown by Charles Albert and these small Italian states
has little effect. It is generally supposed that Eng-
land and France have agreed as to the policy to be pur-
sued, and that they are determined to interfere for the
restoration both of the Pope and the Grand Duke of

SOUTH AMERICA.

Accounts from Rio de Janeiro, dated Jan. 9, have
reached Liverpool, which inform us that her Majesty's
packet Spider had arrived at that port, with the mails for
England, from the River Plate. She brought news from
Buenos Ayres to the 28th, and Monte Video the 23d,
December. At Monte Video nothing particular had
occurred. The Government had contracted with one of
the most respectable houses in the city to furnish the
troopi with provisions for the term of six months, com-
mencing Ist January. By a decree, published 22d De-
cember, the duty on flour was to be continued three
months longer.
From Buenos Ayres we learn that the Government
will have expended the sum of 2400,000 dolls. (paper)
in the months of November and December, for the muni-
tions of war, part of which was to be sent to the Entre
Rios and Corrientes. Mr. Southeron's case remains as
before. Rosas refuses to receive him officially, and it is
generally understood that he win continue to do so until
he is authorised to accede to the demands of Rosas,
which are said to be the restoration of the Falkland
Islands to the Argentine Republic, and remuneretion for
the guano brought by English ships from Patagonia, as
well as the damages caused by the British fleet in the
Parana.
