THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 10.

The Dee, Royal Mail steam-steam-ship, Captain Wil-
liam Allan, arrived this morning at five o'clock, with
the usual Mexican and West Indian mails.

valuable freight, consisting of 107,096 dollars from the
various ports of the Main; 2561. 6s. in British coin;
1081bs. 10 oz. of platina ; 1,003 serons of cochineal ;

she had unmoored, and got ready for sea, a heavy
" norther" set in, which detained her until eight a.m.
of the 3d.

The intelligence from the West India islands is un-
important.

MEXICO.

Tho news from the seat of war is of no great moment.
There were still several Mexican officers detained in the
Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa ; in every respect the city
was quiet, and had assumed the appearance of peace.
The Americans were beginning to feel the effects of the
climate severely, the hospitals being nearly full of in-
valids, and several deaths had taken place from sickness,
and not in any way connected with the late engagement.
This circumstance was, however, kept very quiet, as its
publication only tended to diaourage the American array.

The last accounts received of General Scott were,
that he was still progressing towards M• fie hai
reached Peratta, and ,vas to leave that
of April.
On the news reaching Mexico of the late battle at
Cerro Gordo and Santa Anna', flight, D. Pedro Ananga
was appointed Presid:.nt, with unlimited power for
everything, with the exception of listening to any over-
tures of peace from the Americans, as they were deter-
mined to defend the city to the last. Canalizo, or D.
Juan Alvanez, was to be Commander-in-Chief; and the
seat of government removed to the interior (Celaya).
Santa Anna was at Oriata, raising 1,500 troops fur a
guerilla war, and several attacks had been made on the
convoy of provisions from Vera Cruz to the army, but
without any success. It was reported that the Ameri-
cans were getting tired of the war, and that the vo-
lunteers were leaving them, their time being up.—

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(TI-11S DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco).
T11031A3 V. FREDELICIi3.

Lord DF.NMAN gave judgment in this 0i92, It was an ac-
tion brought by Mr. Thomas against the delmdant, in order
to ascertain the right of sporting over a certain manor. The
verdict was for the ph.intitf, and subsequ,ntly a rule was al-
lowed by the defendant fur an arrest of judgment.
The COURT, this morning, ordered the rule to be dis-
charged.
The point turned upon certain specific coccuants in the
lease of the defendant, which were wholly of a technical
nature.

No other case possessing a feature of interest occurred
during the course of the day.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WionTmAx.)
ArOf.TYN V. HALFORD.

This was an application fora certiorari to bring up an in-
dictment against a process served for perjury. It appeared
that the applicant was defendant in an action which had
been commenced in Yorkshire, for having falsely sworn that
he had served Mostyn, a farmer, with a proc( si of one of the
superior Courts. The affidavits went on to state that appli,
cant, in consequence of his office, was exposed to a great deal
of ill feeling, and therefore feared that be had nut had a fair
trial.—Application granted.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRCHELL.)
ATKINSON V. OXLEY.

The plaintiff in this action is an attorney in Carey-street.
and the defendant a farmer in Mayfield, Sussex. The claim
was for 18i. Bs., the balance of a bill of costs.

Mr. BAYLEY• who appeared for the plaintiff, called a young
man, named Johnson, who had formerly been a clerk to the
plaintiff, and who proved that he knew of most of the work
having been done, and that the other portions were also
legal The costs had been taxed by the
Master at 18!. Bs. beyond a sum of 71. 10s. Id. paid to the
plaintiff. The witness, in cross-examination, said he did
not know who was the agent who had been employed in the
country.

Mr. BATLEY then put in an office copy of an affidavit
sworn to by the defendant, in which he stated that he had
given instructions to Mr. Atkinson (the plaintiff), his attor-
ney, and also submitted that, under the 6 and 7 Vic., c. 73,
in which it was enacted that the allocater of the Master as to
the amount of costs on taxation should be final.

Mr. Cum-mot-A( then addressed the jury, and said that he
should be able, no doubt, to show that the defendant in fact
had never employed the plaintiff, but that he was retained by
a person named Beams, who would be called as a witness, and
who had bought the debt of 14L of defendant for 91., although
the action was brought in thandant's name.
Mr. Beams, formerly bailiff of the County Court at May-
field, and now clerk to an attorney, was called, and proved
that he was formerly a debt collector. Defen.lant put some
debts into his hands to collect, and it being necessary to em-
ploy an attorney, he told defendant that if the latter would
ake 91. for the debt, if recovered, he witness would pay the
costs. L was a" no cure no pay" affair. The writ and pro-
ceedings were sent to him to serve, and he was paid. He did
❑ot tell ilaintiff the terms.
Mr. BAYLEY" contended that no arrangement between de-
fendant aid Beams could affect plaintiff unless he was made
acquainted with the terms.
'llia UNDER-SHERIFF was of the same opinion, and said
chat i❑ the affidavit the defendant admitted plaintiff was his
ittorney.

The Jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

MARLB.RO'-STREET-7-(THIS DAY.)

James Williams was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged
with being found in the shop of Mr. Tyas, draper, No. 7,
Charles-street, Soho, ivy' the intention of committing a
felony.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed by complain
inta son, who was at the door of a neighbour's house appo-
,:te, to be walking backwards and forwards, casting very sly
glances into the shop. Thinking scinething was wrong, he
secreted himself behind a door, and watched the prisoner for
nearly ten minutes. 'the prisoner, finding there was not any
person visible in complainant's shop, stule in, and was in the
act of taking a bundle of nankins when complainant's son
moved from his place of concealment, and caught him just
as he was depositing it in a capacious bag. The prisoner was
detained till the arrival of a constable, into whose charge he
was consigned.
The prisoner, who gave a very unsatisfactory account of
the transaction, was remanded till Monday next.
Henry Carroll, the particulars of whoa former examina-
tion appeared in this journal on the Bth instant, was placed
at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a
quantity of linen, the property of Madame Le Romberg,
27, Audley •street.
It will be recollected that the prisoner was remanded, in
order to procure the attendance of a female of the name of
Webber, to whom the prisoner offered the linen for sale. This
witness stated that about the middle of October last the pri-
soner, accompanied by a female, came to her house, 29, New.
ton-road, Weatbourne•grove, and producing two large
bundles of linen, wished her to purchase them. She declined
doing so, but eventually lent him 305., upon his consenting to
leave the linen as a security. The female (who is the prin-
cipal witness against the prisoner) said that she was a Jewess,
and that the property was hers. The linen was taken away
by the prisoner ten days afterwards.
The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was fully
committed for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Ti ingsey was charged with creating a disturbance
in the waiting-room of the above court, and with violently
assaulting the police.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 120 N,
the wile of the prisoner was yesterday brought to this office
on the eharge of feloniously stealing a watch and a pair of
boots. The prosecutor however not appearing she was:dis-
charged. About four o'clock the prisoner returned to the
office waiting-room, where he created a great disturbance,
and addressing the constables, exclaimed to them " I did
the dodge, and succeeded, so well that my wife
and her companion was discharged, notwithstand-
ing you did all you could against them ; they and
I hocussed the fellow." The constable afterwards found out
that the prisoner had managed to get the prosecutor in a
gia-
shop, and made him drunk. He was seen pouring the gin
down the prosecutor's throat. Thus it was that prosecutor
became unable to attend. The prisoner was takcn from the
office waiting-room to the station-house, but it took four
police-constables to carry him thither, and on his way he
managed to inflict upon some of them severe bruises.
Mr. BnotTairros said that it might possibly be very well
for him to endeavour to get his wife out of a scrape, but his
own bad conduct he could not look over. He was fined 10
S.,
or ten days' imprisonment.
The prisoner was locked up in derault.

CLERKEN WELL.--(T HIS DAY.)
A charge of a trifling character was preferred by police-
constable 113 S, and while the oath was being administered
to him his manner displayed much levity.
Mr. Coster:, the presiding magistrate, having observed it,
eiimmented strongly upon the manlier in which oaths some-
times were taken in the Police-court. It was the duty of
constables to attend more than they did to the solemn aili-
4ation under which they were placing themselves when being
sworn. The worthy Magistrate then said, addressing the
inspector on duty, that he thought (me of the most im-
portant features in the instruction of constables when enter-
ing the force should be to impress upon tihir minds the ne-
cessity of a due and decorous attention and respect when
taking an oath.
While Mr. Combe was making these observations, the
constable remained in the witness-box, pale as death, and in
a state of the greatest agitation, and at length, after a short
convulsive struggle, fell backwards cut of the witness-box,
apparently quite lifeless, his head striking violently the
wainscoting of the wall behind the box. He was imr.ne•
diately carried out of court by the attendants, when medical
assistance was procured, and he in some degree recovered
his consciousness, but upon being again brought into court
was quite unable to give his evidence, and he was therefore
removed to his residence under medical treatment.
