Justice Mooax said that he cited the authority of
Lord Hale,. in whose opinion Lord Mansfield and
Chief Justice Bayley concurred. He would, how-
ever, examine the authorities, and see whether what
Chief Justice Hale had so unequivocally laid down
was the law.
Mr. MEAGHER said that he could not expect mere
from his Lordship, and would be quite satisfied
with his judgment after be had referred to the
anthorities- = . -
Q. 0., threw out that Juitice Foster had
shaken the authority of Lord Hale.
Justice MOORE said that he h.d looked in Foster's
book with the view of seeing if he had done su, but it
did not appear to him that the passage contravened
the authority of Lord Hale. lie might have drawn
a wrong conclusion, but the law could not be more
clearly laid down than by Lord Hale, who was the
highest authority upon the subject.
The commission was then formally adjourned to
Tuesday, the sth of December next.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to
the 15th of August, which fully confirm the state,.
meat regarding the capitulation entered into betweoii
Pretorious and Major Warden, the British Resident
at Bloem Fontein, by which the latter consented to
withdraw beyond the Orange River, thereby sur-
rendering the Queen's authority to that portion of
the colony over which he had presided. The following
official details,`, with other particulars, will be read
with interest :

(From the Graham's Town Journal.)
Our readers will be prepared, from the communi-
cations inserted in our last number, to learn that all
British rule beyond the Orange River had fur the
present ceased to exist—the three magistrates who
bad been stationed there having been forcibly expelled
by the rebellious Boers.

-It now appears that Major Warden, on his return
to Bloem Fontein, after having so narrowly escaped
being made a prisoner, proceeded to make his little
post in some way defensible, at the same time dis-
patching Mr. Rex to the Boer's camp to ascertain
their ulterior object. 'Whilst waiting for his re-
turn a letter, of which we subjoin a copy, was
received from Pretorius, Major Warden learning
from the bearer that Mr. Rex was detained a prisoner.
He refused to give any reply until he was released.
This was acquiesced in, and Mr. Rex reports that the
Boers' leger or camp was within two miles of Bloem
Fontein ; that it consisted of about 1,200 men ; that
all communication with the colony was cut off, and
that all attempt at resistance was useless. Major
Warden thus having no alternative, proceeded to
treat, and the terms given below were agreed upon.
TO MAJOR WARDEN, BRITISH RESIDENT.
Bloem Fontein, July 17, 1848.
As we have been true and sworn friends to each
other, ;40jhat for five years • and whereas Sir Harr
Smith`ig iM:7II 2.1 f.a., no ,-2 -
whether lam to take it from you by force. Many
parts of the country have been purchased by the
emigrant farmers from the natives, and which natives
do not feel at all disposed to come under British rile
—I have for the accomplishment of this object
brought with me into the field only ono thousand of
the many thousands of my ready and willing people.
(Signed) A. W. PRETORIUS, Comdt. Gen.
Bloem Fontein, July 17, 1848.
At the conference held this day in front of the vil-
lage of Bloem Fontein with Mr. Pretorious, Com-
mandant-General of the Emigrant Far:nets, the Bri-
tish Resident and Commandant-General entered into
the following engagement, viz. :-
1. That the troops and inhabitants of Bloem Fon -
tein shall evacuate the village in two days from this
date, viz., on the 20th instant, taking with them all
moveable public and private property of every der
scription, and proceed to Colesberg, five or six wag-
gons (or as many more as may be procurable) being
furnished for that purpose by Mr. Pretorius.

2. That the British- resident will inform the native
tribes of the arrangement entered into between him-
self and Emigrant Farmers, with the hope of prevent-
ing a collision between them.
3. That the Civil Commissioner or Caledon, Mr.
O'Reilly, is guaranteed a file exit to the colony, on
the same terms as the British Resident.
4. That Mr. Fretorius will, in the meantime, with-
draw his force from the immediate neighbourhood of
Bloem Fontein.

5. That in the event of sufficient transport not
being obtainable for the removal of all the property
of storekeepers and ofters, .within the time above
specified, Mr. Pretorius will guarantee their being
allowed to remove jheir conienience, and withouttation.

That such co oure peopp a 5 ate no* at Bloom

Extract of a letter from Burgher's Dorp, dated
25th July :
" Mr. O'Reilly has been compelled to yield, and has
retired with his family to the farm of Mr. Adam Gilfil-
lan on the Stormberg Spruit."
Our: communication with the front and with Kafir-
land has been totally interrupted this week, owing
to the heavy rains which fell on Saturday and Sun-
day last.

The march of the troops has ben greatly impeded.
Those that left this place on Wednesday are still on
this side of the Fish River, and owing to the non-
arrival of the usual posts, we are not aware whether
these from Kafirland have as yet been enabled to
cross the Konap River, as nothing effective can take
place until the arrival of this addition to the small
force already at Colesberg

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.50; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being .25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 Ty r mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. p-r ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Hamburgn
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and Amerioa being 109 23-40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent.
against England; but the qu9ted exchange at New
York being for bills at GO days' sight, the inter( st must
be deducted from the above difference.

A FAVOURED LOVER.—The affair of Bruce, who
was murdered, and found by the aid of aclairvoyant, ac-
cording to the account, induced a 3oung married man.
who was on a visit in the city, to call on one of these
~eers, and ascertain in what occupation his wife was
engaged at htr residence, some ninety miles away.
She is sitting in the parlour," said the lady,
" and every once in a while she looks out of
the window, as if expecting some one." " Strange," said
the gentleman, " who can she expect?" " Some one
ent .rs tho dopy. She seizes. him,
~and .earessep him
-"TieszYb`ei his all a hoax; My wife is true
to me," interrupted the gentleman, nettled and worried
by the green-,yed monster. " Now he lays his head on
her tap, and looks tenderly into her eyes." "I swear
that is false, and ril make you pay dearly for this
*hinder." " Now be wags his tail, continued the
•Iceper; and this explained the story. He vanished,
and resolved never again to be inquisitive with regard to
his wife's doings.—New York Harbinger.

- •At the conclusion of this addre.is. the 'three pri-
soners were removed from the dock; The van was
drawn up outside, and the prisoners having been
placed in it, were at once conveyed back to the
prison, where they were placed in separate apart-
ments, and none but their chaplain, end persous
specially permitted by the sheriff, were admitted to
see them. Much excitement prevailed in the streets,
and suppressed murmurs of sorrow and awe ran
through the crowd of spectators assembled about the
Court House. The police kept back the multitude
with fixed bayonets, and in a short time all had dis-
appeared.
CLOSE OF THE COMMISSION.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, addressing their Lord-
ships, said—My Lords, in consequence of the length
of time the commission has lasted, the onerous duties
discharged by those engaged in these trials, and the
protracted attendance of jurors from distant parts of
the country, it is not the intention of the Attorney-
General to proceed'any further at the present sittings.
I beg, therefore, to apply to your Lordships to adjourn ,
the commission to the 12th of December.
Mr. Justice Moons—ls not that too near Christmas ?
The SOLICITOR• GENERAL—It may be, my Lord, so: _
will your. Lordships say Tuesday, Dec 5 ?
Chief Justice BLACKBURNE—Let the Court be
adjourned to Tuesday, Dec. 5.
Mi. MEAGHER called the attention of Judge Moore
to the case cited by him in his charge to the jury by
whom Mr. ()Donohoe was tried—namely, that of the -
Earl of Southampton, in order to show that it was
charged as matter of fact that he was aware of the
treasonable intent of the Earl of Essex.
