TRIAL OF PIRATES.

The accounts from Boston, which reach to the 28th ult.,
bring advices of the termination of the important trial of
the pirates there, after the Jury had been occupied in the
inquiry no less than fifteen days, It had excited the great-
est interest in the United States. The following is a brief'
summary of the trial :
Thirteen of the prisoners were originally committed for
trial, but one destroyed himself in prison. Twelve were,
therefore placed at the bar of the Circuit Court of Boston
on the 11th ult., charged with having committed an act of
piracy on the brig Mexican, of Salem. This vessel, owned
by one of the merchants of that place, sailed from that port
with a valuable cargo of 20,000 dollars in specie, under
Captain Butman, for Rio Janeiro. On arriving at 33. N.
lat., 34. 30. W. long., she fell in with a suspicious-looking
vessel, from which she made unsuccessfully many attempts
to escape. This strange vessel having come up with the
Mexican, fired a gun, and Captain Butman, seeing that she
was armed with one long gun, and two small ones, and that
her decks were crowded with men, was obliged to heave to.
He was then ordered on board the strange vessel, to which
he went in his own boat, but on reaching her, five men
jumped into it, and ordered it to be rowed back. On arri-
ving on board the Mexican, they directed the Captain to
accompany them into the cabin, where, brandishing their
knives threatening and striking him, they compelled him to
acknowledge and give up the money in his possession. A
launch was then sent for from the pirate, which carried away
the treasure. The pirates on board the Mexican then drove
the crew down the forecastle, and commenced breaking the
compasses and destroying the rigging and tackle. They
also set fire to the caboose, in which they placed a tub of
combustibles, and lowered the mainsail in such a way that
it would speedily ignite. Shortly afterwards, however,
Captain Butman contrived to get on deck, and extinguish
the fire ; and when the damage had been repaired the
vessel returned to Salem. Information of the piracy was
immediately disseminated to various parts, and reached the
coast of Africa, where Captain Trotter, commanding the
British brig-of-war Curlew, was then cruising. From cir-
cumstances that reached Captain Trotter he was led to
believe that the schooner Panda, then lying in the River
Nazareth, was the vessel by which the Mexican had been
plundered. He immediately proceeded. to take measures
against her, and the result was her capture, but the escape
for the time of the crew. No ship's papers or logbook
were found on boud a her, though diligently sought for,
and owing to some accident she shortly 44Pr4'4i.ds blew up,
killing several of the Curlew's men. Captain Trotter then
sailed to other parts in pursuit of the pirate crew, and at
length succeeded in arresting six of them at Fernando Po,
Atari the 411/009r of the prisoners at Cape Lopez. Capt.
Trotter brought them to ligglapfl, and theßritish Govern-
ment sent them ever to Boston, to be tried by

The President, Vice-Presidents, Trustees, and whole body of
ordinary and extraordinary Directors, are, and must, •in terms of
the laws, have been Members of, and personally connected with
the Society, by assurances of a determinate number of years'
standing.

This office is the oldest, and, in point of business, the most ex-
tensive in Scotland. It is founded on the original principles of the
Equitable Life Office of London, securing the whole profits to the
assured.

The great value of the principle of mutual contributionship, or,
as it is generally termed, mutual assurance, on which this Society
is founded, is now well known. By the operation of this principle,
taken in connection with the careful selection of lives, and an
economical management of the Society's business, it is evident that
the advantages of Life Assurance are secured to their utmost possi-
ble extent. Indeed, they only require to be known and under-
stood in order to be fully appreciated ; and so rapid accordingly has
been the growth of this Society, that, during the last sixteen years,
the annual revenue has increased from 2,300/. to upwards of
80,0001. sterling per annum, and the accumulated Fund from 3,0001.
to upwards of 400,0001. sterling; and both are in a state of steady
and rapid, increase.
The ordinary benefits of Life Assurance, indeed, without any
special references to the peculiar advantages afforded by this Insti-
tution, are of themselves amply sufficient to induce those who have
relatives or families dependent on them, and who are duly im-
pressed by the uncertainty of life to have recourse to it, no less as
a matter of duty than of interest. In illustration of this, a few
actual cases are here quoted from the Society's books, which will be
found to place in a very strong view the benefits of Life Assurance,
particularly as they may be secured through the medium of a con-
nexion with this Society, viz. :

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals to the present hour are few and unimportant,
and the express from Paris does not contain any important in-
formation, either from Madrid or any other part of the Conti.
nent. The accounts from Madrid state that M. Villiers, the
French Ambassador, was actively engaged with the Spanish
Ministry, endeavouring to effect an adjustment of the Portugal
question. An insurrection had broken out at Salamanca, but
was put down. The accounts from Bayonne are of a more
serious nature ; they state that the Carlists were again in pos-
session of nearly the whole of the Spanish province of Gui.
puscoa, and that El Pastor had gone to Vittoria. It is again
reported that the Cortes would positively be convoked by the
beginning of May.
The accounts by the French mail this morning state that
they are very busy at the port of Toulon, preparing a number of
vessels for sea.
'

Letters from Algiers, of the 16th inst., state that discord pre-
vails there amongst the civil authorities. The Bedouins keep
the garrison in continual alarm. It was reported that orders
were received for the evacuation of Montangem and Azew, and
their garrisons were to proceed to Blada. It is confirmed
that the triumph of Constantine was complete, but that he
tarnished his victory by the number of executions he ordered,
and that he now threatens the French with an attack.
Letters from Madrid, of the 17th inst., state that the tran-
quillity which prevailed to the present time,begins to be threat-
ened with serious danger to the capital.
Accounts from Paris say that Pozzo di Borgo is greatly
flattered by the French Government. Several of the Minis-
ters visit him daily.

MORNING DRESS.

For promenade dresses, rodingotes of silk, cashmere, and
velvet, are more and more adopted; the sleeves arc fuller from
the elbow, and at the wrist (which is made very tight) there is
placed a cuff of muslin or lace; this has a very pretty effect
for neglige dresses, these cuffs are usually muslin trimmed
round with a narrow niche of tulle, they are a,so worn in black
velvet; blond lace canezous are always in good taste when
worn over a morning dress ; for breakfast negliges they are
worn larger and made of India muslin.

THE LONDON COAL TRADE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—We respectfully invite the attention of your readers to
the existing abuses in connection with this trade, of no
slight importance to the inhabitants of the metropolis.
It is not only requisite that so indispensable a commodity
should be rendered at the lowest figure, but of greater im-
portance, that facilities should be afforded for obtaining such
only as are of the best quality, so well deserving a preference
for economy, combined with cleanliness and cheerfulness in
burning—notwithstanding of the aggregate arrivals of
coals into the port of London, only a fourth are
of that description, whilst almost every family relying on the
integrity of their coal merchant, is supposed to be supplied with
none other. The total quantity of coals imported and sold at
the coal market in the past year was 2,006,653 tons, of which
were of Stewart's, Hetton's, and Lambton's Walls End (the
only sorts known as best), not more than 504,695 tons.
We offer a sure protection against the practice, which this
fact too plainly demonstrates, by confining our purchases
wholly to those of best quality. Perhaps we cannot evince, to
the satisfaction of your readers, the integrity of our transactions
more decisively than by remarking (and we do it without fear
of contradiction) that by the regulations of the trade any
deviation would unavoidably expose us to immediate
detection by coal factors, masters of colliers, coal-meters,
lightermen and others, and as a further test we offer a
premium in a reward of 2001. to any person producing
the necessary proof that we buy any other sorts than Stewart's,
Hetton's and Lambton's, our price for which, including all ex-
penses, is 265. per ton, for cash on delivery.
Orders (post paid) to Purfleet Wharf, Earl-street, Black-
friars, or Western Wharf, Edward-street, Regent's-park Basin.
We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,

HALIFAX MARKET,--There was about the
same quantity of bus;ness done in stuff goods, at this
market, last Saturday, as there was on the Saturday pre
c, ding." Numerous attempts hive been made, (luring the
last week, to obtain wool aid maoufactured goods at fowei
prices ; but both the manufacturers and the woolstaple!s
have determined to resist it, as they are generally of opi
nion that the present s(agnation in trade will turn out to
b. like that in December la,t, which was only temporary
and that a few American and Continental orders will, in a
short time, succeed, to carry off the present liinited stock•
of goods—create a demand for farther supplies, and givi
an impetus to the trade in general.
SPALDING.—Last week a labourer in Deep•
ing fill had his nose nearly snapped off by the falling of a
barn-door, and had six miles to go before surgical asst
ance could be procured. He was cautioned to refrao,

admonition, had a regular wet with gin before he returned
home.....Drakard's Stamford News.

MURDER AT BANSTEAD.

Yesterday John Walker, a tall yntvag man, in a dark:
smoek.frock, was brought up from Whitechapel watch-
!muse, and placed at tne bar. before Mr. WALKER, at
Lambeth street police-offic,, a suspiei,,n of being con-
cerned in the murder of Mr. Junta Richardson, on Wed-
nesday night last.

. -
The prisoner, on his being questioned by the magis-
trates, said he was a labourer, but got his living by hawk-
ing and selling oranges and lemons through different pars
of the country. On Wednesday he came up to town from
Epping, in Essex, for the purpose of purchasing a fresh
stock of fluit, but oranges being too dear, he could nut buy
any to answer his purpose, and had stopped in town since.
reached town, e said, about six o'clock in the even-
ing, and took up his lodgings at the house of Mrs. Martin,
in Wentworth-street, where he still remains:, and was
there the whole of Wednesday evening a.r.tl night, except
front eight to eleven o'clock, when k'; went to a neigh-,
touring public-house, to have A tint of beer. He tl.en
called Mrs. Martin, who said 3 at the prisoner came to her
house on the morning or forenoon of Wednesday week,
and remained there since, He was at her house the whole
of Wednesday last and Wednesday night, except from eight
to eleven o7clork.

M. Wamata asked if any other young man of his
(the prisoner's) acquaintance had lodged with him ?

Mr. WALKER observed that there was a great discre.
panty between the prisoner's statement and that of his
landlady; the former had stated that he only came from
the country on Wednesday last, and went to the house to
lodge after six o'clock in the afternoon, while the latter
swore that he had been at her house since Wednesday
weel4 and that lie came there in the morning, br certainly
iu the forenoon of t .at day.
The prisoner hero said he made a mistake in saying
Wednesday instead of Wednesd iy week.
Mr. WALKER r ,carped that what with the discrepancy
ho had betore alluded to, and tee prisoner, in person aid
Tress, answering the description given of one of the mur-
derer,, there was sufficient suspicion to justify his deten.
ti,in, aril he should remind him to the following day.

The prisoner was accordingly remanded, and directions
given by Mr. Walker that the circumstance of his appre.
',elision should be communicated to the magi•irates at
Fysom, and the attendance of the toll-gate keepei at Tad.
corth, who, it was stated, could the persons Ci*
.he matderers, should be procured on this day.

THE FUNDS.

The debates were of great length last night in the House of
Commons, and Mr. Ellice brought forward the reduction of the
army estimates for the present year, by which it appears there
will be a saving of from 299 to 305,0004

Consols, which left off yesterday at 91 % for the Account,
opened at 911, with little doing as yet.
In the Foreign market Spanish 331 ; Portuguese 72 to 1.
As yet we do not hear of any arrivals from Portugal.
Sinee writing the above, Spanish and Portuguese stocks have
receded each 1 per Cent.

HALF-PAST °NE.

The saving in the army estimates, with the great majority
obtained by Ministers, has had the effect of maintaining the
price of Funds this morning.
_ .

Consols may be quoted at 91i to i for the Account.
tip to the present hour we have no arrivals from Portugal ;
but a steamer is expected.

The private information from Spain is not of a favourable
cast ; and it is thought that Rosa will not be able to maintain
his situation much longer.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are
not so good as in the early part of the morning: Spanish, 321 ;
Portuguese, 71;.

DUKE OF YORK'S STATUE.—The colossal
lironv statue of the late Duke of York has been just
finished by Westmacott ; it is in height thirteen feet three
inches, and is an excellent likeness. His Royal High-
ness is represented in a military attitude leaning on his
,word, which he holds in his right hand, and the drapery
of his military costume thrown over his left arm gives to
the figure a good effect. The statue will be placed on
the top of the column on Carlton.terrace as soon as a
strong scaffold is raised from the ground for that purpose,
which it will take some time to erect. The raising of the
scaffolding will be commenced forthwith.

FREEMEN OF BRISTOL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—That Mr. Baillie's name should appear in the minority
of 38 against disfranchising the Liverpool freemen is not to be
wondered at.
It is quite consistent with the proceedings of his committees,
who spent no less a sum than 25,000/. to secure this gentle-
man's first election. At the last election his supporters were
also obliged to pull out the cash, and that to a large amount,
for the same purpose. It would be a pity that such a valuable
class of men as the freemen of Bristol should, on a future occa.
sion, be deprived of their usual perquisites. I have lived long
enough in Bristol to know the prices for the freemen's votes,
viz., 15s. for a plumper, and 7s. 6d. for a split. This was only
paid them for loss of time, poor creatures I Under the Reform
Bill every occupier of a house of the yearly value of 101. gave
a vote (this was thought too low by Sir R. Vyvyan) ; but a
freeman, though he pays no rent nor taxes, is entitled to vote,
Here you have a class of voters without property, paying no rent
or taxes. Is not this as bad as universal suffrage ? That one
of the first commercial cities in the empire should be dependant
on such a class of voters, I shall leave to the judgment of your
readers.—l am
