Caracas, May 17, 1848.

Resolved,—ln order to prevent inconvenience, or that
from any misunderstanding, room be afforded for repv-
sentations and remonstrances which might not be devoid
of some ground, with reference to the decree of the 11th
instant of blockade of the port of Maracaibo and adj 3.-
cent coasts; it is determined-
-Ist. That for the term coasts adjacent to Maracaibo
must be understood, all the coast comprised within
what is properly called the " Bag (Gulf) of Maracaibo,"

those proceeding from Demerara and the Antilles, with
the exception of Curacoa and its dependencies, San Tomas,
and Santa Cruz ; and during such interval of time
the blockading squadron will confine itself as respects
merchant vessels arriving from such places, to a notifica-
tion of the existence of the blockade, for which purpose
they will note this fact on the register or the papers
which accredit the nationality and ownership of the
vessel visited, and also the circumstance that the vessel
has been duly notified of the existence of the blockade,
and only in event of any such vessel, after receiving this
notification, attempting to enter any place comprised
within the limits of the blockade, will there be ground
for her detention and trial, in accordance with the laws
and practice of nations.
By order of his Excellency, MEDIA.

DUBLIN, Nov. 16.—The political prisoners had not
arrived in Dublin from Clonmell at a late hour last even-
ing, but are expected here this day. The following is
from Clonmel under date of the 13th:—

" The authorities here are:playing 'hide and go seek '
with us and the prisoners. Last night the state prisoners
were told they were to leave Dublin at four o'clock this
morning. They bade farewell to the few friends who are
admitted to them. One of them sent out for some of his
portraits, and distributed them between the turnkeys.
Gentlemen, and even ladies, went at a late hour to re-
connoitre the gaol, but all was as silent as the corpse
within its shroud.' Night passed away—day came, and
the state prisoners slept undisturbed. We have now
about three hundred of the 83d Regiment billeted about
town, as I before stated. They were en route from Car-
rick to Fermoy, but have been detained here. lam told
they are to take charge of the barracks during the ab-
sence of a portion of the 64th, who are to escort the
prisoners."
SIR JAMES GRAHAM: IN DUBLIN.—The Chief Secre-
tary entertained at dinner, on Tuesday; Sir James Gra-
ham, who arrived in this city a day or two since, the
Lord Chancellor, the Under Secretary, and several of the
Judges. Sir James yesterday paid a visit to the Na-
tional Education Board, Marlborough-street. The Right
Hon. Baronet was accompanied by Lady Graham, and
in the course of the day visited several of our public
establishments and buildings, including the Four Courts.
Sir James end Lady Graham leave for England this day.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN LYON, 92D
HIGHLANDERS.—On Saturday last a truly painful and
sad accident occurred to Captain Lyon, of the 92d
Highlanders, on his return from a shooting excursion at
Glenomera, on an outside car, about four o'clock in the
afternoon, with a brother officer, Ensign St. John. When
within about seven miles of Limerick, the gun, which
was placed between his legs, went off, and the contents
of both barrels entered at the inner fold of the left arm-
pit, fracturing the arm bone frightfully, and in several
pieces, and passing off at the outer and back part of the
shoulder, wounding the principal bones and some of the
blood-vessels. He was immediately attended by Drs.
Foss, 92d, Battersby, 47th, Saunders, 47tb, who were
joined in consultation by Drs. Gelson and Wilkinson,
who, on seeing the alarming nature of the accident,
agreed with the other gentlemen that amputation at the
shoulder joint was the only means likely to save

their patient's life, when the operation was (at seven
o'clock) proceeded with ; but, finding that the joint
remained unopened, they were enabled to save two inches
of the bone, and thus render the case less complicated.
The young officer bore the operation with undaunted
firmness and admirable nerve—never uttered a murmur--;
and lost but very little blood. He is, we are happy to
say, going on favourably, and without any unpleasant
symptom arising. Ensign St. John, who was also on the
car, had a most providential escape, the ball passing near
his head. The operation of amputation of the limb was
performed with great skill and celerity, with but appa-
rently slight pain to Captain Lyon. Major Atherly, 92d,
who attended his suffering friend during the operation,
and who had served upon the staff of the late Major-
General Sir. J. Lyon, father of the unfortunate young
gentleman, evinced the deepest solicitude and sympathy
during the perilous ordeal, after which he immediately
undertook to apprize by letter, Lady Lyon, of the ter-
rible accident to her only son, communicating the sad
news to a loving and beloved parent in terms the least
distressing to her feelings. Major General Sir John
Lyon was formerly quartered with the 97th in this
garrison, and died on service in the West Indies.
Lady Lyon resides with her daughters at Dover. Cap-
tain Lyon, 92d, exchanged from the Coldstream Guards
last December to his present corps with Captain 'War.
render, and in which he served before entering the
Coldstreams. About three years ago we had the pain
of recording the death of Major Bevan, East India Com-
pany's service, under precisely similar circumstances as
the above.—Limerick Chronicle.

THE LATE DREADFUL MURDER.—The authorities
are actively employed endeavouring to bring the mur-
derers of Sergeant-Major Grant to justice. Since our
last several persons have been arrested in different parts
of this county and County Tipperary. It is said that a
subscription is being raised amongst the staff-officers of
pensioners and their corps for the widow and orphans of
Sergeant-Major Grant. We hope this is the case, as
the afflicted family are fitting objects for public com-
miseration.—King's County Chronicle.
DUBLIN, Nov. 17.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Smith
O'Brien and Messrs. Meager, O'll,tnoghue, and
M'Aanus, arrived in Dublin by the ordinary train of
the Great Western Railway. The whole party was
conveyed from the station to the prison without the oc-
currence of the slightest*Qxcitement, although competent
measures had been alopted by the authorities to prevent
or subdue any untoward manifestation which might have
arisen. At the sitting of the court this morning the
prisoners will be brought into the Queen's Bench to
assign errors in their respective cases, after which judg-
ment will be given i❑ the case of Mr. Martin.

By a letter received in Dublin from Mr. John Dillon,
his safe arrival in New York has been at length an-
nounced.

Mr. James F. Lalor has Iron admitted to bail, but the
prisoner was in such a weak state that he could not be
remoyed from Newgate. It is expected that he will be
able to leave the prison in a day or two.
The Cork Examiner, of Wednesday, says:
" Yesterday' nil the gentlemen confined under th©
Habeas Corpus Suspension Act were liberated, with the
exception of Mr. D.,nny Lane and Mr. William Pen-
nington. They are Mr. M. J. Barry, the Messrs. Varian,
Mr. F. Mullan, and Mr. D. Corcoran. They were
warmly congratulated by their frien-ds on being once
more permitted to breathe the free air, and do not seem al;
all reducA in health or spirits by their incarceration.
Sincere sympathy is felt for the continued imprisonment
of Mr. Lane."

EDINBURGH CHARTIST TRIALS.
THE CASE OF CUMMING.

The High Court of Justiciary WoCccded On Wednes-
day with the txial ol James Cumming, shoemaker, who
was charged with the statutory crime of contravening
the Crown and Government Security Act, and :with
the offences at common law of conspiracy and sedition.
As soon as the Judges had taken their seats on the
bench,
The LORD ADVOCATE rose and said that, after due
consideration, he had come to the resolution to abandon
the case against the prisoner, who was accordingly dis-
missed from the bar.

It is understood that the Lord Advocate was reduced
to the necessity of taking this course from the imper-
fect manner in which the case had been got up by
some of Vie officials. One of the principal charges in
the indictment was that Cumming had taken the chair
at a meeting held in the Trades Hall of Edinburgh
for the purpose of enrolling a national guard, the
object of which was to compel, by force and violence,
an alteration of the laws and constitution of the
realm, by procuring and using guns and pikes in order
to levy war. It has now transpired that the Cumming
who was in the chair at this meeting. was nit the priso.
nor, but a near relative Of his ; and the mistake, it is
slid, of confoundin.,' the One with the other arose not
from any fault On the part of the policemen who were at
the meeting in plain clothes, but from the cireumAance
that, in Lk:ng their depositions, the officials had, by
some singular oversight, omitted the important step of
allowing the policemen to identify the prisoner. Seeing
that without this material point it would be difficult to
establish such a case as would be sufficient to obtain a
verdict against the prisoner on such an indictment, the
Lord Advocate, with a wise discretion, resolved to de-
sert the indictment altogether. This must have been a
very disagreeable duty to his Lordship, when it is con-
sidered that a severe legal contest, which lasted for a
couple of days, had been previously undergone by him-
self and the other Crown counsel, in order to establish
the relevancy of the indictment. The other charge
against Cumming was, that he had written a letter to a
person in Glasgow, which, by some mistake, had fallen
into the hands of another party, giving an account of
the clubs in Edinburgh, the number of arms that they
had got, and the warlike spirit which animated their
measures.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.
Thomas Harrison, a painter and glazier, living in
New-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, and his wife, were
brought before Mr. Cottingbam, charged with cruelly
ill-treating Elizabeth, their daughter.
Mr. COTTINGEIAM said, from the child's appearance,
it was quite evident that she was in a state of starva-
tion, and that she was cruelly used by those who ought
to be her protectors. The magistrate then asked
Harrison what he had to say in answer to so serious
a charge.
Harrison—lt's false; she is not starved. She lives
the same as we do, but she has such an appetite that she
will pick up any filth out of the kennel, if we let her go
out, and eat it. We dare not let her go into the street
on that account.
Mr. CorrmcnAm—The girl has marks of severe chas-
tisement upon her person. What do you say to the
charge of beating her?
Harrison—She beats herself, she is such a bad tem-
per, and knocks her head against the wall enough to
break her skull. That is the reason of the lumps being
now felt on her head.
Mr. CormattArd said that it was manifest, by the
girl's appearance that she had not a sufficiency of food;
that, in fact, she was starved. He was astonished a
father should stand up and assert that she had plenty
of victuals, and shared alike with himself and his fel-
low-Prisoner, when she was seen t-o eat up ravenously
potato peelings and fish bones, which were designed
for an animal. It was a case of such an aggravated
nature that he was determined the prisoners should be
sent before a jury ; but, with the view of completing
the charge against them, and having the evidence of a
medical man, he should remand them until Wednesday
next.

WESTMINSTER.
William Davis and John Hughes, two determined-
looking fellows, were charged with the following daring
highway robbery:__
At about six o'clock on the previous evening James
Horton, a very intelligent lad, between 14 and 15 years
of age, was walking along Cadogan-place, Sloane street,
with a bundle under his arm, when the prisoners sud-

denly made their appearance in front of him; and
Hughes, having snatched the parcel with great violence,
ran off with it. The lad was about to follow, when Davis
stopped him and thrust him against some iron railings,
and upon his making a second effort to follow, Davis
knocked him down, and then ran off in a contrary direc-
tion to that taken by his companion. Mr. Tuck, of Ca-
dogan-place, florist and nurseryman, hearing the boy's
cries of " Police" and " Stop thief," followed Hughes,
who was running with the bundle in his hand, until the
robber, on turning the corner of a street, actually rushed
into the arms of a policeman, who, hearing nn alarm
given, was hastening to the spot whence it proceeded.
Hughes, who threw the bundle down at the moment of
his capture, stoutly declared in five minutes afterwards
that he had never seen it. Davis was apprehended some
hours afterwards, and, although placed amongst a number
of others, was immediately recognised by the boy as one
of his assailants.

Davis, on finding that he was about to be committed,
coolly observed that he should reserve his defence until
his trial. Hughes, in the course of a long rambling story,
endeavoured to persuade the magistrate that he had been
captured by mistake as he was endeavouring to overtake
the real offender.

The prisoners were committed to the Central Criminal
Court for triaL

WORSHIP. STREET.

Charles Scales, a young man of wretched appearance,
was charged before Mr. Arnold with having stolen a
silver watch from the shop of Messrs. Walker and
Brown, watchmakers and jewellers, in High-street,
Whitechapel.
Edward Perkins, shopman to the prosecutors, stated
that between five and six o'clock on Wednesday even-
ing the prisoner entered the shop and requested to be
shown a silver watch, which was marked in the window
at twenty-five shillings. The watch was placed before
him, but after cursorily inspecting it, he objected to it
as being too small; and, having asked for a hunting-
watch of larger size, witness turned round to procure
one of that description, when the prisoner suddenly
snatched the first watch from the counter, and darted
out of the shop. Witness hastened after him, lout en
reaching the street the 'prisoner had disappeared, and
he saw no more of him until the preceding evening,
when he was brought to the shop in the custody of a
policeman.

Police-constable Ross, H 50, stated that while on duty
the previous night in Whitechapel the prisoner came up
to him, and having alluded to the robbery which had
been•committed at the prosecutors' shop on the former
evening, intimated that he was the thief, and that he
wished to surrender himself. The prisoner further said
that he had endured so much distress and privation from
his inability to procure any employment at his business
of a tailor, that he did not care what became of him,
and was anxious to be sent out of the country. On ask-
ing what had become of the watch, the prisoner said that
he had sold it for 95., and he regret:ed that there was no
means of recovering it.
On being asked if he had any questions to put to the
witness, the prisoner, in a desponding tone, answered in
the negative; they had only stated what was the truth,
and he had nothing to add to it.
The MAGISTRATE ordered him to be remanded for a
week for the completion of the evidence.

EXETER MARKETS, FRIDAY. Cattle Market.—A
good supply of fat beasts, with but a dull sale, prices
however remaining nearly the same as last week from 8s
to 9s per score. Other kinds of stock were a drug.
Cows and calves were from 81 to 141 each ; barreners
from 4s 6d to 5s per score ; butchers' calves, sid to 6tl
per lb ; sheep were very plentiful, upwards of 1,400
being penned ; fat weathers sold at sid to 54d ; ewes,
5d to sid per ib ; keeping sheep were not saleable, ex-
cept at lower rates than lately. Pork Carcases.—A
good time of year supply, which moved off but slowly
although last week's rates* were in general sustained—
prices ranging from 7s to 9s per score. Pannier.—Tur-
keys, 4s 6d to 6s each ; geese, 4s to 6s ditto ; ducks, 3s
6d to 5s per couple ; fowls, 2s 6d to 4i- ditto ; pheasants,
6s per brace ' • partridges, 2s 9d to 3s ditto ; hares, 2s

to 5s 6d ; woodcocks, 5s per brace ; butter, lld per lb ;
eggs, 10 to 12 for ls; potatoes, is 2d to is 4d per score.
Corn Exchange.—The wheat market to-day has been
quiet, nor can there be much difference noticed in price
from the last week. Warranted samples of old wheat,
which wore not very freely offered, were worth fromBs to
8s 3d per bushel. For the finest samples of warranted
new wheat 7s 6d was in some instances given, but infe-
rior qualities were hardly saleable at any price. Bailey,
4s to 4s 3d per bushel ; oats, 2s 3d to 2s 6d ; fine flour,
41s to 43s per sack.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.=--The duties on grain and flour
are without any change this week. There was a limited
attendance of millers and dealers at_ our market this
morning. The demand for wheat and flour was very
dull, and the prices for both were barely equal to those
paid on Tuesday. A parcel of Western Canal flour has
changed hands at 26s per barrel in bond. Oats and oat-
meal maintained late rates. Barley, beans, and peas
were each unchanged in 'value. There was a steady de-
mand for Indian corn, and fully Tuesday's prices were
obtained.
HULL COMMERCIAL .DEPORT, Nov. 15.—0 f linseed
the arrival this week is, insignificant as compared with
previous supplies; we notice 448 quarters from Arch-
angel, and 1,324 quarters from Konigsberg; together
1,772 quarters. The Archangel is going to warehouse
for winter sale; the latter is on the market, and partly
sold. Rapeseed arrivals are to a limited extent; the
lateness of the season will prevent supplies of moment
reaching us in this year from Denmark or Germany.
We do not notice any change in demand, which
,is
trifling, and the quotations remain at 241 per last. Brown
rape oil has become flatter, and a reduction of lOs per
ton accepted.' For linsepd cakes there is at last a little,
more animation in the demand, and the amount of busi-
ness done is considerable since last Friday. Of bones no
supplies fresh up, or business in them.
ASHBURTON FAIR, Nov. 14.—There were very few
fat bullocks and a very large supply of. sheep. The for-
mer sold sloWly at low rates, the latter declined from 25
to 4s a head. Wool trade excessively dull. Corn, little
or no alteration. The horse fair was not worth attend-
ing. Fat bullocks for Christmas, 60s, average quality,
48s to 525; fat steers, 40s to 465; cows and calves, 52s
to 56s per cwt; poor steers, 30a per cwt. Fat sheep, 5d
to sid; wool, 44d per lb. Wheat, old, 15s to 16s; new,
lOs to 14s per 125 lbs.; barley, 5s 6d to 8s per 2 bushels;
oats, 6s to 7s per 2I ushels.
DODBROOK MARKET, Nov. 15.—We had an average
supply of stock, with a very limited demand, prices:for
all descriptions receded from 5d to 10d per cent. Prime
Christmas btillocks, 60s to 655; good marketable .fat
heifers, 50s to 52s 6d; rough half fed steers, 40s to 455;
store stock, 30s; cows and calves (cheaper), 48s to 52s
6d per cwt. Sheep, sd.to 5/d. Wool, 44d to 5d peills.
Wheat, 9s to 16s; barley, 6s to 7s 6d; oats, 6s to 7s

NEWTON, Nov. 15.—Newton market was very dull,
owing in some measure to Ashburton Fair being, the day
before. Beef, from 6d to 7d per lb.; Mutton, 5d and 6d
per lb.; pork, 6d per lb.; dead carcases' from 8s to 9,
per score.--Poultry.—Turkeys, 4s 6d. to 5s each;
geese, 4s to 43 9d ditto; 'fowls, 2s tfl to 3s per couple;
ducks, 4s to 5s ditto. Btitter, 10d to 11.kd per lb.; eggs,
14d per dozen; potatoes, is 2d to is 3d per score. A
large quantity of slip and sucking pigs, for which there
was a great demand. Sh4ep and bulloAs slight supply.
There was no alteration in the price of corn.
Irsmon, Nov. 14.—We had a much less supply of
stock at market to day than last week, and, with the 'ex-
ception of about two score of fat beasts from London,
there was nothing else of any note in the market. Fat
sheep very scarce; store beasts very short; and very
little business done.

EYE, Nov. 14.—We had a full market, but the busi.
ness was very slack. New wheat selling at from 24s 6d
to 26s 6d; 4arley•also sold at lower - prices than the
week previous, with a reduction of about is per coomb,
and but few sales made. Beans, r6s; peas, 18*; and
Oats, 12s to 13s per coomb.
WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 15:—The supply this day of all
grain was less than last week; yet, from the decline at
the consuming markets, wheat receded 2* per quarter,
and the finest malting barley 3s. Old beans in request,
and the turn dearer.

BURY -ST. EDMUND'S Z NOT. 15.—We hal a fair sup-
ply of wheat here to day, and the 'trade much' as last
week. Barley was more than equal to the demand;
coarse qualities may quoted 2s per quarter
lower, and the best description ls, buyers acting with
great caution, even at this reduction. Very few beaus
and peas, at about late prices. Fine oats commanded
quite as much money; inferior sorts dull of sale:
STOWMARKET, Nov. 16.—Our farniers being still en-
gaged in seeding, the supply of corn'at market to-day
was not !large, yet sales were slow for wheat at about
last week's prices. Best barley was full is 6d to 2s per
quarter lower. In other things we 'had little or no
alteration.

LLANERCIIYMEDD MARKET.—At this market, held
last Wednesday, wheat sold at from /Os to 525; barley,
at 30s to 335; oats, 16s to 17s per quarter. At the but-
cher's stalls beef was sold at from 4fd to sd; mutton,
6d to 7d; veal, 5d to 61 per pound; young pigs, 8s to
lOs each; store ditto, 20s to 25s each; fat ditto, 3id to
to 3fd per pound.
DENBIGH, Nov. 15. The market, this day, was well
attended; but, in consequence of the London market be-
ing lower, it had a corresponding effect on this. For
wheat there was a good demand, at 18s and 19s; barley,
12s to 13s; oats, 6s to 6s 64 per hobbet; fresh butter,
10d to Is; salt ditto, 811 to 94 per pound.
MOLD, Nov. 15,—The number of both buyers and
sellers to-day was far from numerous, with the prices of
grain receding, and not much business done. Wheat,
168 to 18s 6d; barley (from samples), 12s; oats, 7s to
7s 6d per hobbet.
RHYL, Nov. 14.—Our market to-day was well attended
by farmers and factors, and a fair supply of wheat and
beans was offered for sale, at a reduction of 6d to 9d per
hobbet for both articles. Of barley and oats but few
samples were produced—which nearly fetched the quo-
tations of last week; still, we must say, that the value of
these articles had a declining tendency. Wheat, per
hobbet of 1681bs, 18s 6d to 19s; barley, per hobbet of
1471b5,11s to lls 9d; oats, per hobbet of 1651b5, 6s 3d
to 75.; beans, per hobbet of 1801bs, 13s to 14s. Some
few parbels of superior seed wheat and malting barley,
realised the quotations of our last market. A few cart
loads of potatoes and turnips (which met a ready sale),
were brought to market.
