San Juan Bautista de Tabasco.
Oct. 26, 1846.
Sir,—The undersigned, foreign merchants established
in the port of San Juan Bautista de Tabasco, in conse-
quence of the very serious injury suffered in part of their
property by the firing on this city yesterday afternoon,
take the liberty, as neutrals in the present differences
between the United States and Mexico, and in friendly
relations with the former power, to represent that a con-
tinuance of similar destruction of their property will lead
to their ultimate ruin.

We are induced to address this communication to you,
it being affirmed that unless the military force here sur-
rendered this city up to you, you felt it your duty to
continue hostilities, even to' reducing the city to ruins—a
hard case, indeed, for the parties who have now the
honour of addressing you, almost the whole commerce
of the place being in their hands ; and who, confiding in
the protection afforded to subjects of foreign nations at
Metamoros, and in the march of the United States army
up to Monterey, and in the declaration of the Commo-
dore commanding the United States squadron off Vera
Cruz, have not prepared for such measures as you have
threatened to adopt to:reduce this place.
We thus beg most respectfully to call your attention
to our position, and the positive ruin we shall suffer
should this city be destroyed, trusting you may have it
in your power to take the same into your favourable
consideration, and mitigate such very disastrous results
to our several interests.

We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient humble servants,
LABACEI and CO.
WATSON, CHABOT, and CO.
British merchants.

of the city of Tabasco, Oct. 26, 1846.
Gentlemen,—ln eonsideration of the representations
made by you in your communication to me of this morn-
ing, and verbally through Captain Forrest, I shall ad-
here to a determination resolved upon last evening, not
to fire again upon the town unless the fire should be re-
commenced from`the shore.
I regret the injury already produced, but have the
consolation of knowing that it was altogether caused by
the extraordinary conduct of the people of the town. I

Lizardo, near Vera Cruz, Nov. 3, 1846.
Sir,—lt seems ;to be just and proper, and it is cer-
tainly a gratifying task, to make known to you for the
information of the department, the excellent conduct of
the officers and men who served under my command in
the late expedition to Tabasco, The enterprise and
spirit displayed by them, on every occasion, gave suffi-
cient e%idence that in scenes more sanguinary they would
do full honour to the corps.
I was particularly indebted to Captain Forrest for his
promptitude, cheerfulness, and judgment in carrying out
my instructions.
To Commander Sands, and officers and men of the
Vixen, to Commander Adams, to Lieutenants Com-
manding Benham, Sterrett, and Hazard, and their re-
spective officers and men ; to Captain Edson, and Lieu-
tenants Gist, Winslow, Wahh, Hunt, and Parker, and
their detachments—in a word, to all and every one—l
am under lasting obligations for the zeal and energy with
which they seconded my plans.

I am, Sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Commodore David Conner, Commander in-Chief
United States naval forces, Gulf of Mexico.

Nothing more has been done by the division of the
army under General Taylor. It is said that Santa Anna
is concentrating his forces at San Luis Potosi, and that
he intends to remain there until the United States force
shall have been weakened by detachments being ordered
to Tampico. It is stated that General Scott has been
ordered to take command of the army in Mexico, and
that he has left Washington for that purpose.
The New York Courier and Inquirer says—" It may
be stated with some confidence that all present prospect
of peace between the United States and Mexico is at
an end.

" All parties in Mexico are embarked zealously and
with national feeling in the war, and the idea of con-
senting to the Rio Grande as the boundary between
the two countries, or of ceding Upper California, does
not appear a possible one to any faction or party in
Mexico; yet with less than that, it is not perceived
how the Government of the United States can be satis-
fied.

" In this state of affairs very vigorous efforts will un•
doubtedly be made by this Government during the
winter months, to bring Mexico to terms by the sword."
COMMERCIAL.

The most important part of the news by the Great
Western is that usually classed under the above head :
A New York paper of the 26th ult., says:—
" Since the arrival of the last steamer with dates of the
4th inst. our markets for bread stuffs have drooped and
are drooping, in the face of falling prices in Europe,
and increasing stock here.
" Up to this time the canals have brought down to tide
water in this state, more than 800,000b1s. flour more
than in the previous year, turning the excess of Wheat
into Flour, at five bushels to the barrel. Of Indian
Corn, almost the whole quantity sent to market by this
route, is a new article of export, and principally of the
last crop, the growth of this crop being yet too green to
be safely shipped. The quantity thus far is about it
million bushels. There were only 30,938 bushels of
this grain brought down last year.
As yet the frost holds off and supplies pour down.
Vessels are in great demand and make very advantage-
ous freights.
In relation to our remarks on Cotton by the steamer
of the Ist inst., in which comments were made upon
what we considered the exaggerated estimates of crops
made in a Savannah circular, we have received a letter
from the house issuing that circular, which we subjoin,
because we desire not even to appear to do injustice.
We must remark, however, that we named no
particular house, and that although our figures
were taken from one circular, there were others,
as we understood from Savannah, leading to
the same erroneous conclusion, as we deemed it.
As to the immunity claimed for a circular on the ground
of its being a private letter, it seems to us simply ridi-
culous. If, however, the writer of that to which re-
ference is now made, consider their circulars private,
they should at least instruct their correspondents to use

---.—
. them as such. If we recollect rightly, the figures in our
I article of the Ist inst. were taken from a copy lying on a
cotton broker's table, open to anybody's examination,
an.] apparently thus placed for the information of the
trade, or any others who chose to look.at it.
Our money market is in a sound state, with some
tendency just now to higher rates. Exchanges on Eu-
rope are falling-61 per cent. upon England, and 5.42 f.
on France, being about the highest asking rates. At
these rates specie may flow hither without leaving, how-
ever, any great inducements to ship IL -Even these
rates, however, arc only commanded by the first bills—
and therefore those not well known as bill drawers, who
hale surplus funds in Europe, may perhaps find it to
their interest to bring them here in specie. The rela-
tion between the import of specie and 60 days bills at
losi may be thus illustrated :
British sovereigns of full weight, will produce here
4,84 doll. each, which is equal to

specie to be deducted are .t- loss of in-

Thus making it a matter of indifference whether Cie

bills.

But as the ordinary rate of interest in London does
not exceed 4 per cent., the difference between that and
our ra'e of 6 per cent. may tempt English capitalists to
ship specie.

Corrox CROP.—We have nothing to add to the
remarks we have heretofore made respecting the extent
of the crops. So far as we can gather, the estimates of
yield rather fall than rise, notwithstanding the fine sea-
son for picking has continued late.
We had reason to believe there was more than one
circular (from Savannah) with a 2,175,000 estimate,
to be sent by the same steamer and further, that
such an estimate .was very common there. We
naturally, therefore, seized the figures as an exhibition
of the way in which such a quantity was made out.
But we did not think it necessary or right to give any
name, nor were our remarks intended as in any sense
personal, but rather applicable to Savannah estimates
in general. In truth, when we wrote we did not know
the framers of that circular had written a circular in
1845 ; or if we had ever seen it, we had forgotten it.
It seemed to us a great error, on such an important,
-subject, to place the crop at 2,175,000 bales at so early
a period as the 24th of October when frost or storms
might still materially curtail the quantity particularised
is this very backward season. And as public journal-
ists, reporting the state and prospects of cotton, and
finding estimates of upwards of 2,150,000 very gene-
rally sent from Savannah, it seemed right and proper to
caution our European readers against placing too much
confidence in them. Public opinion bears us out in the
view of the imprudence of making such large estimates
at so early a period; for although the weather has been
generally favourable for the crop from that day to this,
we do not yet find any general confidence: inasmuch as
even 2,050,000 bales.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Dec. 12.
BREYNTON V. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.
This was a motion to dissolve an injunction that had
been obtained by the plaintiff to restrain the defendants
from proceeding with their railway from Stafford to
Rugby in a manner different from the original plans.
It appeared that by an agreement the plaintiff dis-
posed of a certain portion of his land, consisting of one
rood, 30 perches to the railway company, but the latter
having thought to alter their line on the adjoining land,
he moved for and obtained an injunction. The grounds
upon which it was moved to dissolve were that the plain-
tiff had advised the alterations, and the company were
empowered by the. Railway onsolidation Act to make
them.

The arguments having concluded today,
His LORDSHIP gave judgment. In all such cases as
the present it was the duty of a court of justice to con-
sider,, not only the rights of individuals whose interests
might be invaded, but also the unimpaired exercise of the
powers which the Legislature invested in public cow.
panics. The question now to be considered was one. a
individual injury. The 31st clause of the special Act
had been dwelt upon as being a limitation
of the powers of companies, but he was of opinion that
that clause did not at all change the intention or meaning
of the Legislature in the general Act. He thought that
as regarded the construction of the law the case against the
present motion had failed. The argument with respect
to the interpretation of the agreement of the parties had
also failed, as well as the argument derived from the
ignorance of the plaintiff of the law. When companies
had extensive powers for their benefit, they should not
be at liberty to make contracts to restrict those powers.
This he thought was desirable, though he did not wish
by any means to extend the powers of railway companies.
Another matter in the present question to be considered
by a court of equity was, the disingenuousness of the
plaintiff, who, though it appeared that he had induced
the defendants to make the alteration, with a view to
compel them to purchase a greater amount of his land
than they required, had altogether concealed that part.
of his conduct from the Court. On thescstrounds,
would dissolve the injunction, with c,,sts.
Mr. Coors, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated
that in consequence of the decision of the Court, In.
would not proceed with a motion which he had been in-
structed to make, that the injunction should be ex-
tended.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIVCH, Dec. 11.

NORMANSON V. CREFT.

This Was an issue to try whether the plaintiff was or
was not entitled to certain goods which were assigned
to him by a bankrupt named Walker, who is his cousin.
The case was commenced in the Bail Court yesterday,
and n'sumcd at the sitting of the Court this morning.
It occupied the greater part of the day.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
THE QUEEN V. HAYNES.

This case, which has excited considerable interest,
and w hich is an indictment against the defendant for
the unlawful removal of his father's books was set down
in the list for to-day, and the court from an early hour
was crowded to excess, many elegantly dressed ladies oc-
cupying seats in the galleries' but as the under-
mentioned case was stated to be a short one, it was
postponed until next term, or the sittings after it, to the
evident disappointment of a crowded auitory.

THE QUEEN V. WATSON.-INDECENTLY ASSAULTING A

GIRL.

This was an indictment at the instance of the church-
wardens of Paddington against the defendant, for in.'
decently assaulting a girl named ',pia Criekmore, aged
13 years, last Augpst, and with indecently exposing his
person in a public place. The defendant had pleaded
not guilty.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Mills were for the
prosecution ; Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Clarkson for the
defendant.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case to the jury,
and instacced it as one of the most painful nature, but
there was one point of satisfaction in it, namely, that it
wuuld not occupy long, as it would.only be necessary to
call the girl herself, and a person who witnessed the
occurrence. The prosecution had been instituted by the
churchwardens of Paddington, by the advice of the magis-
trates of Marylebone. The defendant,JohnWatton, was a
retired tradaman of good circumstances, and was 60 years
of age. Between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of
the 24th of Dec., 1845, the girl was sent by her mistress,
Mrs. Boreham, of Stanley-place, Paddington, which is
close to the Paddington churchyard, to fetch some eggs
and other articles. She had occasion to pass through a
path which intersects the churchyard, and which the
public are allowed to use during the day, but which
closed at night. Here she was met by the defendant,
who f induced her to leave the path by telling
her 'that, he had something to give her. The
Learned Counsel then detailed the nature
of the offence, and proceeded to state that
the defendant desisted and ran away, on being alarmed
by the cry of the gravedigger, Barratt, and he, with Mr.
Hogg, the vestry-clerk, took both into custody. The
defendant, he said, had materially aggravated the offence
by having offered a large sum of money to the grave-
digger, who was a material witness against him, to keep
out of the way.
The girl was asked, in cross-examination, if familiari-
ties of an indecent nature had not occurred between her
and a lad aged 15, named Charles Fagg, who was intro-
duced, and did not appear more than eight or ten years
old ?—(Some persons in the Court cried " Shame.")
The girl sobbed convulsively, and was removed. On
being placed again in the witness-box, the question was
repeated, but she remained silent.

The gravedigger was called and corroborated the
statement of the Learned Counsel, with respect to the
occurrence in the churchyard, but on being asked con-
cerning the offer of the defendant he equivocated, stating
that when he saw him he was drunk, and that he could
not understand what he said, whereas he had furnished
the vestry-clerk with a full account t:f his interview with
him. His evidence was brought prematurely to a close,
on the understanding that the parish should prosecute
him. He stated, however, that the girl ran sway when
he saw them, and that he ran after her, and took bold of
her.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted that the count
charging an indecent assault could not be sustained.
Sir FREDERICK TIJESIGER submitted that the other
in
decently
exposed charging the defendant with having
exposed his person could not be sustained.
Lord PENMAN said he had a strong opinion on the
matter. He should not, therefore, stop the case, but
take the opinion of the jury upon it.
Sir F. TIIESIGER then addressed the jury on behalf of
the defendant, and submitted that from ;he conduct of
the girl there was too much reason to believe that she
was a consenting party, and that the man was not be-
yond suspicion; that the churchyard was not a public
place, and that no indecent exposure had taken place.
The girl did not cry out, and ran away on being dis-
covered.

Lord DENMAN held, in summing up, that a church-
yard, or any other enclosed place was a public place, if
the eye of tEe public could penetrate into it. The pain-
ful scene they had witnessed showed, he thought, that
the girl's mind had been vitiated ; and there was too
much reason to believe that familiarities of the nature
pointed cut had taken place between her and the boy.
The jury found the defendant guilty of the indecent
exposure.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 12.
WAULIFFE V. COCKBURN.
In this case the jury, after an ..bsense of two hours,
returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff.—lla-
mages 401.

SIMMONDS V. MIINTZ, SPOONER, AND TWELVE OTHERS.
'This was an action brought to recover a considerable
sum due to the plaintiff for services rendered as a traffic-
taker upon the Southampton, Manchester, and Oxford
Junction Railway (a scheme which originated during
the late mania), and of which the defendants were mem-
bers of the managing committee.
Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Bagleer appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Martin for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this case was, it appeared, employed
by the managing committee to take the traffic lipon:the
line above-named. The terms upon which the traffic
was to be taken were, that he was to receive' 151. per
mile. Of this sum., 3/. was to be paid upon
the commencement of the work, another Si. on the
delivery of the traffic tables, ard a further and final sum
of 5/. upon the Bill passing the Committee of the House
of Commons. The line in question was stated to be
about sixty miles in length, and consisted of two branches
—One from Andover to Dideott, an& the other from
Andover to Swindon. The traffic tables were completed
by the plaintiff and his assistants.within proper time";
the nianagiug committee, prior to the completion and
delivery of the traffic tables; resolved upon abandoning
one portion of the projected Inc, that, '..ftween Andover
and Dideott, and en consequence uf this resolution the
traffic tables of the plaintiff had to by remodelledi The
contract was entered into on the 22d of September, 18.13,
and the traffic tables in question were delivered early in
the month of January following.
The present action was brought to recover the sum Of
600/. upon the two last instalments unpaid by the com-
pany ; also the sum of 60/. fo-r the extra work of re-
modelling-the traffic tables ; a further sum of -75/. for
the traffic upon the whole line, the hngth of which, in
stead of being 60 miles, as represented to him originally,
was 65 miles ; and a further-sum of 601. for expenses of
several journeys to Bristol -and Birmingham upon the
affairs of the company.
On the part of the defendant a variety of pleas were
put upon the record, and the sum of 300/. was paid into
court, and it was contended . that this amount was all
that the plaintiff was entitled to receive. -
In support of the plaintiff's case, a number of witnesses
were called, who gave evidence of the fact of the
various defendants. signing'. the register- as provisional
committeemen, and a consent to act as such, and of their
appointment as. a managing. committee ; -that they re-
ceived the traffic tables, and acted upon them, and that
they abandoned the project before going to Parliament,
and had since returned one guinea upon each share.
The
_LORD CHIEF BARON—I am already of opinion
that the plaintiff cannot recover upon the third instal-
ment. -It was contingent upon the passing of the Bill
through a certain stage, which-never arrived, and it.had
not been proved that the defendant had stopped short
fraudulently for the ,purpose of keeping -him oat of the
money. -•

- -
Mr: MAnTrx now contended that the -traffic tables
were not properly
or correctly got up, and went at con-
siderable detail into the questions of the proper mode of
making out these tables.

The Lon) CHIEF BARON interposed, and said that it
was perfectly idle to waste the time of the Court and the
jury by this species of inquiry. and suggested that the
matter ought to be referred to some gentleman out of
the court.

By the consent of the counsel on both- sides the trial
was postponed, in order to ascertain whether the de-
fendants would abandon that portion:of their defence in-
volving the question of the proper mode of preparing
these tables.

The case was accordingly postponed till Monday
morning.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 12.

---
GOODMAN V. BOWLES.
When this case was called on, and the jury sworn, it
wes found that neither attorneys nor counsel were in
attendance.
The Learned JUDGE immediately ordered the cause to
be struck out of the list.
The same course was adopted in respect to the case of
Lockyer v. Morrison, which stood next on the list,
neither plaintiff nor defendant being represented by their
' le.ral advisers.
The ten following causes on the list were then called
over; but no one appearing in respect to them,' they
were struck out of the list, and the Court rose.
This neglect on the part of counsel and attorneys
cannot be too strongly denounced.

FLIXTON HALL DEFutorm.--Yesterday morning
(Sunday), shortly after midnight, Flixton Hall, the resi-
dence or Sir R. Shafto Adair, Bart., near Bungay, wee
found to be on fire. The discovery was made by a lad
walking in the neighbouring village of Homer field, who
went as quickly as possible to the hall, and roused the
inmates. These were only two women Red one groom
in the buildings at the rear. By some means two hours
elapsed before an alarm was given in Bungay, and it was
nearly three A.M. before the parish engine from that
town reached the fire, followed by one from Messrs.
Grout's factory, and another " ftom Harleston. Little
substantial good could be (Meted, except to save a
range of kitchen offices recently erected, and by five
o'clock the building was complettly gutted, three only
of the outer walls remaining, of which one has since
fallen. The building was erected by Inigo Jones, and
has been for the last two or three years undergoing ex-
tensive repairs, which would have occupied seven,' more
years. The extent of loss will not, probably, be so large
as might be expected from the magnitude of the confla-
gration, as only a portion of the mansion was f 4 for oc-
cupatiou, and the family was not resident. It is reported
Sir Robert Adair is insured to some extent; and the
orig:n of the lire is at present unknown.
'I'JIE MALT- TAX.--A very serious mis-statement
has gone forth to the public, through the medium of the
7'imes newspaptr, as to the course lately taken on the
subject of the malt-tax by the Society for the Protection
of Agriculture and British Industry. The version of the
Times declares that, at a meeting of the committee on
Tuesday last, "it was unanimously resolved that the
Protectiouist party should be call d upon to demned the
total and immediate repeal (of the melt duty)." This
announcement is at total variance with the fact. The
ternmittee, having had the question brought before them
by a deputation from one. of the provincial Protection Se-
eieties, came to a resolution that instructions should Abe
given to the secretary to address a circular to the various
local societies in the following terms:---" I am directed to
state that, at the December meeting of the committee,
held yesterday, the society fixed that day (January 12)
for the discussion of the question of the repeal of
the Malt-tax. They beg, therefore, that the secre-
taries of the country associations will call meetings of
their respective societies on that subject, that they will
forward to the central society, on or before the 12th of
January, a copy of any resolutions passed at such meet-
ings, and that their chairmen and vice-chairmen be
sent up to the central society's committee meeting on
that day." It is perfectly Clear, therefore, that the
statement in the Times is in every respect unfounded.
As a body, neither the Protection Society; nor its com- '
mittee, has given.an opinion in reference to the repeal or
retention of the malt. tax. All that has been done was,
when the attention of the society was called to the ques-
tion, to fix a special day for the discussion of it, and to
summon deputations from the provincial societies on
that occasion, with a view to ascertain in a formal man-
ner the opinions and feelings of the agricultural commu-
nity. We have felt it our duty to make this short state-
ment. of facts, because it is of the greatest importance
that no misconception should exist upon a point on
which the public mind is at the press nt moment con-
siderably excited.—Poste

ACCIDENT AT THE TERMINUS AT SOUTHAMPTON.
—On Saturday morning, at half-past six o'clock, as an
engine preparing to take out the seven o'clock up-train
was coming out of the shed, a boy, named Thomas
Badley, aged 16 years, made an attempt to get upon it,
but his foot slipping, he fell under the tender, when one
of the wheels passed over his leg, crushing his foot in a
dreadful manner. Several surgeons were quickly on the
spot. The poor boy was instantly removed to the house
of his brother-in-law, a guard of the railway, where he
underwent the operation of amputation, and is likely to
do well.
