" Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to ac-
quaint you that he has directed inquiries to be made on
the subject of the memorial signed by certain English re-
sidents at Boulogne, relative to the conduct imputed to the
French Custom-house officers on the occasion of the loss
of the Amphitrite transport off that port; and should it
appear that the French douaniers are acting under such
order as those which the persons who have signed the
memorial suppose, his Majesty's Government will not fail
to represent the case to the French Government, with tie
view of inducing them to make such modifications in those
orders as must naturally suggest themselves to the humus!
and generous feelings of that Government.—l am, Sir,
your most obedient, humble servant,

THE LAND OF LIBERTY.--TRIAL OF
PRUDENCE CRANDALL.—On Friday and Saturday the
trial of this individual, for violating a law of the state of
Connecticut, prohibiting any person from setting up a
school to instruct coloured persons from other states, took
place at Brooklyn, Connecticut. The fact of such violation
was not denied,_ and the_detence rested upon the _question
as to the constitationafity of the law.- On behalf of the
state, Colonel Judson and Mr. Welch contended that the
term " citizen" bad, in the constitution and laws of Con-
necticut, and in the constitution of the United States, and
in the laws of Congress, a technical and significant meaning;
that Indians, Africans, or their descendants, although free
or free-born, were not entitled to the immunities or privi-
leges of citizens ; that, consequently, the state had a con-
stitutional right to say that no coloured persons from abroad
should come thither for their grammar and geography.
The defendant's counsel contended that colour was no legal
test of citizenship, and sustained the position with zeal
and ability. Judge Eaton charged the jury, that in respect
to the facts of the case, they were the sole judges; it was
not fur the Court even to advise in relation to them. The
jury, however, were at liberty, by the constitution of the
state, in a case of criminal prosecution, to decide both the
law and the fact.—The jury retired, and after returning
several times without being able to agree on a verdict,
finally came into court and said that there was no possibi-
lity of their agreeing. The Court then took back the
papers, and discharged Chem.—Philadelphia Advertiser,

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCT. 3.
—The demand for cotton has been unusually active to-
day. The sales amount to 4,000 bigs. Of these, from
1,500 to 2,000 have been taken on speculation. The
advance in price since Monday ib from id. to „id. per
pound.

A Commission of Lunacy was held before
Mr. Maule, K.C., and a respectable Jury (of which Mr.
Buller, M.P., was foreman), at the Swan Inn, Stafford,
on Monday, to inquire into the competency of T. Fowler,
Esq , of Pendeford Hall. near that town, to manage his
affairs. Mr. Whateley (who appeared for R. Fowler
Butler, Esq., the petitioner and next brother of Mr.
Fowler) detailed the circumstances at considerable length.
It appeared that Mr. Fowler had, from a very early period
of his life been subject to epileptic fits; and the frequency
of them, increased by excessive drinking, had so impaired
his memory, that he had now no recollection of events,
and was unable to remember for even a few minutes the
extent of hie estate, the amount of his income, or the
value of money. Mr. Whateley commented severely
on the conduct of Mr. Fowler's servants, under whose
dominian he represented him to be, and upon some
reflections which had been made during the applica-
tion for the Commission upon the female mem-
bers of Mr. Fowler's family, which lie designated as
" diabolical falsehoods." Mr. Allsop, a cousin of the
unfortunate gentlem in, detailed his habits and weakness
from his birth ; and Dr. Knight deposed to the unsound-
ness of his mind from loss of memory, which he ascribed
to his epileptic fits and habits of drinl,s.ng. Upon ordinary
subjects--such as field sports, &c., and the courtesies of
life—it appeared Mr. Fowler was intelligent and correct,
but his mind and memory were insufficient for business.
The Jury visited Mr. Fowler in another room, in conse-
quence of his being the❑ labouring under an epileptic
attack of the previous evening, and returned with a decided
impression of his inability to manage his affairs. The
inquisition, signed by the Jury, was—" That Mr. Fowler
was of unsound mind from 1825."

A singular and dreadful accident occurred
last Tuesday week at Herne Hill. A man was up in a
walnut tree, with a long pole, knocking down the walnuts,
and, while moving from one part of the tree to another,
he rested the pole on the branches, whence it slipped, and,
descending perpendicularly, struck a little boy of the name
of Butcher, w ho was standing underneath, on the apex of
the skull. The weight of the pole, and the height from
which it had descended, drove it completely into the poor
child's head. Mr. Ogilvie, of Boughton, was called in,
and, in the course of the day, Mr. Major, of this city,
was sent for, who promptly attended. The necessary ope-
ration was performed by these gentlemen, and seven or
eight pieces of fractured skull, completely imbedded in
the brain, removed. Previously to their removal the poor
child lay quite still, but he was perfectly sensible. The
pressure upon the brain, however, was no sooner relieved
than its pulsation returned, the child began to talc, and
while the medical gentlemen were engaged in another part
of the room, actually got off the bed to go and look for
his mother. This reminds us of a circumstance which
we once heard related by an eminent surgeon in London.
A lad about 12 years old received a kick o❑ the bead from
a horse, which fractured his skull. He was thought to be
dead. The individual to whom we have alluded was called
in, who, upon examination, found the fracture so bad,
that nearly a wineglass full of the brains was forced out.
He did what was necessary, and said if the boy was alive
the next morning, they must send for him again. He was
sent for. The boy was so far recovered as to render it
worth while to perform the operation of trepanning. The
surgeon, while operating, observed that it made his arm
ache. " What must my head then do ?" slid the boy.
Presently he asked to see his brains, which were in the
wineglass. They were shown him. " I wish," said he,
" you would send them to my schoolmaster ; he always
told me I had no brains." The lad recovered ; and when
the surgeon saw him some years afterwards he found him
a remarkably shrewd and acute young naan.—Kentish
Observer.

EXECUTION OF DEWEY FOR THE MUR-
DER OF HIS WIFE.—(From the Montreal Herald of
Aug. 31.)—Yesterday being the day on which this
wretched man was doomed to undergo the last and awful
sentence of the law in expiation of his crime (the murder
of his wife), a large concourse of people had assembled by
nine all round the gaol, and in the avenues leading to it ;
and when the clock of the English church pointed to ten
(the hour fixed for the execution) a simultaneous and
wonderfully rapid movement took place towards the
place of execution. In a few minutes the prisoner,
dressed in mourning, appeared upon the platform in the
rear of the gaol, accompanied by the Rev. Messire Denis,
the Sheriff, the Deputy•Sheritr, and followed by Mr.
Malo, Captain Holland, and the executioner. He advanced
to the fatal spot with a firm step and collected manner,
and then moved forward close to the railing of the balcony,
where he prepared to address the assembled multitude,
which by this time covered the Champ de Mars. What
he intended to say bad already been committed to writing,
by his own hand ; and a paper, containing this, his last
speech, was held by Mr. Malo, so that it could be read by
the prisoner, who, with a firm tone and audible voice, read
it to the people. It took ten minutes to deliver it. Having
concluded, be bowed respectfully, nay gracefully, to the
crowd, and deliberately retired, of his own accord, to the
spot where all his worldly sorrows were soon to close; and
having knelt crown for a few moments, he rose with a
calmness and a courage never perhaps surpassed. The
black cap was then drawn over his face, and the drop fell.
It appeared to the spectators below that lie struggled bard,
but from those who were present on the platform we learn
that he was dead in one minute and 52 seconds. Before
he left the room where he awaited the hour of execution,
he was observed to shake hands with those present, and,
in walking along the passage to the scaffold, he bowed to
those ranged on each side as he passed. If his crime was
great, his repentance was deep and sincere, and he was
betrayed into the dreadful act under the delusion of that
foul fiend jealousy.
