TRIAL FOR WIFE-STEALING IN VIRGINIA.-The
Baltimore Visitor reports a curious trial which latelL
took place before the Court of Loudon County,
Virginia. The following are a few of the particulars:—
A coloured man, named Talbot, had been legally ma-
numitted by the will of his late master; but his wife
Maria, who was claimed by a lady named Russell, still
remained in slavery. They had been married about
three years previous by a minister of the Gospel, and
with the consent of Maria's mistress. Talbot, who, on
his liberation, was compelled by the law of Virginia to
leave the state, made two attempts, but without success.
to purchase his wife, in order that she might accompany
him. On his finally leaving the state, Maria disappeared
about the same time. They were arrested together at
Washington, and taken back to Virginia, where his
wife was restored to his mistress, and the husband thrown
into prison, to await his trial at Leesburg, on the charge
of stealing her. The prosecuting attorney brought for-
ward Maria as a witness against her own husband, and
read the law, which declares that negroes and mulattoes,
whether bond or free, although not competent witnesses
against a white person, may give evidence against a
person of their own colour. To the great joy of the
poor woman, this attempt was over-ruled, on the ground
that she was not a free agent. In the course of the pro-
ceedings, the prosecutor asserted that the law regards
slaves not as persons but as property. Re also took the
positit n "that there is no lawful marriage for slaves,
and that they can make no contract that their owners
may not annul." The defence was ably and feelingly
conducted by three legal gentlemen, and the prisoner
was finally acquitted; but there is every reason to believe
that the poor man would have been convicted of wife_
stealing, had it not been for the inability of the witnesses
to identify him, in consequence of the darkness of the
morning on which the escape was effected.
POTATOES.—This morning (Tuesday) about seven
or eight carts of potatoes, chiefly from Strathnairy, were
brought to the market here. They were of mixed kinds,
and though generally small, were sound in appearance.
There was considerable demand for them for the table,
at 10d. per stone; and all, or nearly all, were sold. On
Friday there were about the same number of carts, but
-he potatoes did not sell so readily. The people are
.renerally impressed with the idea that there are con-
siderably greater quantities of potatoes saved than the
farmers admit, and they therefore anticipate a consider-
able fall in :price, and a fair supply, as soya us the seed

of Bourbon and Mayotte ; the recent dispatches from
whom represent, ou the contrary, that this small island,
under present circumstances, has become of increased
utility from its affording the means of collecting flocks
and herds for the consumption of Bourbon. As to the
salubrity of Nossi Bey, the following is a report made
in a letter of October 27, from Chef de Bataillon Passot :
The Plateau of Hellville is becoming healthy. The

there for twelve months, has returned to Bourbon with-

The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock;
Mr. Roebuck in the chair,
When Mr. WRANGHAM replied on behalf of the promoters,
chiefly to the objections of Mr. Carrisbrick, whose property
is likely to be affected by the progress of the proposed line.
Having shown that, after the Bill had passed the Commons
last year, it had been thrown out by the House of Lords on
that gentleman's opposition, and that that opposition had
then been excited by the line passing o❑ the south side of
the house, while, on the present occasion, the promoters
sought for leave to pass on the north side of the house—the
Learned Sergeant passed on to the landowners' objections to
the Preston portion of the line, and especially to those of the
corporation of that town to the site chosen for the station.

DECISION:
The Conlmittee on this group assembled this morning at
twelve o'clock;. the Earl of Lincoln in the chair, with Mr.
M. J. O'Connell, Sir W. James, Mr. G. Smythe, and Captain
Jones..
uscout said that theywould proceed to con-
r two great competing Finottlitzke tbenri....-, that the
room must be cleared. _ _ .

On the re-admission of the parties, the CHAIRMAN stated
that the Committee had decided that the preamble of the
Cheltenham and Oxford Railway Bill was proved--(this is
;he broad gauge line)—and that the preamble of the Lon-
don, Cheltenham, and Oxford Bill—(the narrow gauge line)
—was not proved.
In giving this intimation the NOBLE CHAIRMAN said that
the Committe, in coming to this decision, had required
that in the event of a narrow gauge line being hereafter
sanctioned to Oxford, that the Broad Gauge Company would
allow the North-Western Company to lay down a line if
the Railway Commissioners should intimate that it was
nec'ssary, after the question of the mixed gauges had been
decided by experience. His Lordship also stated that
the Committee required the insertion of a very atrin-
pent clause to protect the inhabitants of Cheltenham
from the inconvenience which was apprehended from the
alteration of the level of the water in that town.
It was intimated, on behalf of the Great Western Com-
pany, that they were quite ready to accede to such a clause,
and it was agreed that time should be given for its prepara-
tion, and that the clauses should be proceeded with on Wed-
nesday morning.

EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (TAT, Irv!.
PROVEIV/ENTS).

The Committee met this day at twelve o'clock,

Mr. TALBOT then opened the case for the opposition, pro-
moted by the Dundee Harbour trustees. The Learned
Counsel proceeded at great length to examine the effect
which the works sought to be constructed would have upon
the navigation of the Tay, and contended that as their effect
would be to impede the commerce of Dundee, and to injure
its harbour, on which, since the year 1830, no less a sum
than 600,0001. had been expended, the Committee should at
once express their sense of the encroachments of the com-
pally by refusing the Bill.

BENEFIT FOR THE AGED IVIOTHER OF THE LATE
mn. A. Y. BROADFOOT.—It was our melancholy duty to re-
cord a few weeks since the sudden death of Mr. A. Y. Broad-
foot, the comedian. His exertions were one of the principal
means of support of an aged mother, who is now left without
his aid. Mr. R. Honner, of the City of London, has kindly
granted the use of his theatre for a benefit for Mr. Broadfootrs
mother, on Wednesday (to-morrow), June 2, when the follow-
ing ladies and gentlemen have kindly lent their assistance :
Mr. It. E. Graham, Mr. E. F. Saville, Mr. Lyons, Mr. and Mrs.
ii Miss Martin, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Flexmore, the cele-
br°antenderh'uffo dancer; Mr. W. F. wallet, the Shakesperean
jester; and, by the kindness of Mr. Batty, the following ladies
and gentlemen from the Amphitheatre:—Mr. Barry, the
Hibernian clown; M. Pledge, the rope dancer; Mr. Harvey,
Miss Louisa Waite, and the ladies of the ballet, for a grand
entertainment; a lded to which Mr. Carter, the Lion King,
has granted his Mammoth horse to appear for the this even-
ing. There cannot be a doubt that such a galaxy of talent
will secure a bumper house in this the cause of charity and t
humanity.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—Our market today was better
supplied with corn than heretofore. There were above
100 sacks of native wheat and 60 of rye, both fell in
price. At noon the price of wheat was 31f. 10c. to
331. ]oc., and 22f. to 25E for rye. There is every ap-
pearance that the price will continue to fall, and this is
the more evident from there not having been any foreign
loan in the market. Our populace still continues their
senseless exasperation against the bakers.
The market at Louvain today was equally marked by
a fall in the prices. The report of the governor of the
Province of Antwerp relative to the agricultural pros-
Pects of the country, is highly satisfactory.
BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—0 n the night of the 20th, a
collision took place on the Northern Austrian Railway,
between the two trains which met near the village of
Pousrain. Three men of the company were killed, and
another severely injured; none of the passengers received
any injury. The loss occa.ioned by the collision is
estimated at 30,000 to 40,000 florins.
BERLIN, MAY 27.—A considerable sensation is excited
here by a circumstance which has happened to M Vo,.
X, a deputy of the Diet. He was invited to the offiee
of the President of Police, where he was shown a copy of
a letter which he is said to have written home to Prussia
Immeth •
ately after the speech from the throne. M. Von
•• was asked whether he recognised this letter as
having been written by him, but he refused to give any
answer'
This affair has excited much sensation in the
Assembly, and rhaps called forth the declaration of
the Minister Von Botl'elsch wing, that the Government

a lu.'l3' protested to the Estates and to the people,
gainst this calumny that the secrecy of the Post-office
was violated, and letters of the deputies opened.

A serious accident took place on the night of the
20th instant, on the railroad between Brunn and Lunder-
burg, by the collision of two trains going in opposite direc-
tions. Although the shock was very violent no passenger
was hurt, but three stokers were killed, and one of the
drivers had his arm broken so seriously that it Wag neces-
sary to amputate it.
CAUTION TO TRADEsIItr.N.—On Senn lay a woman,
who. is about 32 years old, inithEing height, sallow co'

i.(/-N DON, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1847.

The American mail, which arrived at Liverpool on
Saturday, has brought us nom intelligence of political
importance from the United tates. The news from
Mexico is, on the contrary, deeply interesting. It ac-
quaintsus with another great conflict of arms, between
the American forces under General SCOTT and those
under the command of SA:STA ANNA, that took place
at Cerro Gordo, on the 18th ultimo, and re-
sulted in the defeat of the Mexican army.
A very copious account of the military operations
will be found in our columns. The version given
by the conquerors, and the commentaries offered by
their compatriots on the above engagement, are
tinged with the same inflated spirit that is peculiar to
their egotism and love of exaggeration. Neverthe-
less, it is manifest the Americans have achieved
a signal victory, but of which, it seems, they could
slot remain content to give even a highly-coloured
