The President steam-ship left Liverpool on Saturday,
the I st inst., at two P.m., with 45 passengers, and between
4 to 500 tons of freight.
Consols continue in a very uncertain state, owing to
various reports, such as a Message to the House this even-
ing for a supply of seamen—that an Express had arrived
from Paris, bringing the funds lower, and two more ordi-
nrnees were expected every day to be issued. These reports
had the effect to lower Consols from 90j- to 89i, at which
price they are at present.

COURT MARTIAL.—On Saturday a General
Court-martial was held at St. George's Barracks, Charing
cross, when a charge of forgery and defalcation in his mutter
accounts was preferred against Pay-sergeant Fuge, of the Ist
Company, Ist Battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards. The evi•
dence was very conclusive against the prisoner, but the finding
of the Court will not be promulgated until the sentence Is ap-
proved of by the Commander-in-Chief. The defalcation was
about 501., for which the prisoner has sacrificed his
pension,
which would have been 13. 10d. per day, and he will, in all
probability, be transported.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--011 Monday after-
noon, as one of the pilot boats was having her mast taken out
of her, under the crane, at the north end of the Queen's Dock,
just as it was clear of the boat and was about to be lowered on
the quay, the slings gave way, and, awful to relate, fell upon a
poor Irish labourer, who was passing under at the moment, and
crushed him in so dreadful a manner as to cause instant death.
The poor man, we hear, has left awife and four small children.
