TILE CONVICT MULLINS.

There is an error in the statement that has
gone the round of the press, that David
Mullins, convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Emsley, was ordered for execution on Monday,
the 12th of November. When Mr. Sheriff Abbis,
Mr. Sheriff Lusk, with the Under-Sheriffs Eagle-
ton and Gammon, Mr. Jones, the Governor, and
Mr. Davis, the Ordinary visited him, he was
distinctly informed that Monday, the 19th of
November, was the day appointed for carrying the
sentence into execution.

TILE IRISH AT ANCONA

The Irish papers continue to publish letters from
the prisoners taken at Ancona, full of those mar-
vels which are reserved for holy wars. John
O'Connor's letter, given in the Limerick Chronicle,
tells of terrific charges mo.de with the bayonet
without loss, of the destruction of two Piedmontese
ships, hitherto kept secret by the ci-afty Sardinians,
besides several direct interpositiorts from Heaven.
John also adds his testimony to that of previous
witnesses to the fact that the Pope's ow=n subjects
in his army would sooner fight against bjul than
for him. He says The town was garrisolied by
5,000 troops, 3,000 of which we could not rely' on,
as they were Italians and swiss, and would sooVer
help the enemy than us, but we had to watch then.`
So you see we had very few loyal men-400 Irish,
the rest Austrians, who behaved bravely, and were

ike brothers to us. We were attacked by sea by
12 men-of-war Ind two steamers. We destroyed
two of their vessels and injured others, without
being much injured ourselves. HoWeyer, on the
ninth day the 2iedmontese came by land in great
force, about 40,000, and planted their guns within
range of our fortress, and began to fire like devils ;
they also opened fire by sea, and kept it up night
and day for six days. At last they made au attempt
to enter the fort which we defended, but were
forced to retreat after losing nearly a thc,u.sand
men. We thank God we did pot lose a single mAn,
though we charged them with fixed bayonets. 'navy
then attacked two small forts defended by Ails-
trians, which they took after a terrible struggle, 111
which our party lest a hundred men, while the
enemy's loss amounts to several hundreds. They
then hoisted the flag of truce to bury their dead,
and sent an offer to our general to give up, which
he refused. While the truce lasted they were
mounting their guns nearer to us, so that when.
they commenced again they had a greater advan-
tage, as their cannon balls and shells both by sea
and land were flying round us and bursting up by
our sides ; but God saved the Irish, as not one was
killed, and only about forty wounded, one of theta
having his leg shot off, while Austrians, standing
by our sides, were killed in great numbers. One
Irishman was saved by having a blessed medal on
his heart ; the ball Lit the medal, and knocked him
down, but he was not hurt ; the sign of the medal
remained on his breast."

LATVINTELLIGENCE—Oct. 25,

SURREY SHERIFFS' COURT.
Before Mr. tinder-Sheriff Abbott and a Special

Jury)
SCAETH V. THE LONDON , AND SOUTH-WESTERN

RAILWAY COMPANY.
In this case Mr. Welsby and Mr. Needham ap-
peared for the claimant (Mr. Scarth), and Mr.
J.
B. K ersley attended on behalf of the London and
South-Western Railway Company.
The case was brought under the Land Clauses
Consolidation Act of 1845, for the purpose of deter-
mining the amount of purchase-money and compen-
sation to which Mr. Scarth is entitled, as owner of
certain copyhold lands at Barnes, in the county of
Surrey, required by the company for the purposes
of their railway.
From the opening statement of counsel it appeared
that Mr. Scarth had purchased some plots of
of considerable extent, or Barnes Common and its
immediate neighbourhood, portions of which were
required for his own use, and other portions were
sub-let or sold to various speculating gentlemen
living in the same locality. One part was to a
tradesman named Fisher, who had purchased about
two acres of the land, for which he had paid, as far
as be could recollect, £l4O per acre. The enfran-
chisement of the two acres cost about £l5O.
Mr. John Humphreys, a carpenter, and Mr. Liver
Carpenter, also by trade a carpenter, had made
purchases of the land from a Mr. Monk, who had
likewise bought portions of the land in the first
instance from Mr. Scarth, but who had subsequently
sold or sub-let plots of ground to these persons.
Mr. Humphreys paid £24 a year for 120 feet of land
in one direction and over 200 feet in the other. This
person had also two other pieces of land at £l2 a
year each. Upon some of these plots of land houses
were building, and it was proposed that new roads
should be formed. The foundations of some cottages
had been commenced, two houses had been finished,
and one was at present occupied. The plaintiff
claimed for the loss of his property, if taken by the
railway company, the sum of £2,300.
After the examination and cross-examination of
a great number of witnesses, and the inspection by
both sides of the plans of the property, the learned
counsel were about to call competent authorities to
certify as to the value of the land, but it was agreed
on both sides that such a course would be inexpe-
dient, and
The Jury returned a verdict of £9OO for Mr.
Scarth ; thereby saving the railway company the
sum of £1,400 by the investigation.

TILTS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN RICHAN4E.

The leading country markets held an Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. AL good and fine quali-
ties commanded fully previous rates, but inferior parcels
were much neglected. Barley and allother kinds of spring
corn had an upward tendency, whilst the flour trade was
tolerably healthy.

Throughout the Continent wheat has continued in request
at extreme rates. Other descriptions of produce have
realised very full prices, with a good export demand. The
shipments of produce from the United States continue on
a very large scale. _

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were limited. From abroad they amounted to 47,498
quarters of wheat, 7,015 barley, 11,6 1 oats, 3,150 beans,
25 peas, 3,628 tares, 7,909 linseed, 1,405 rapeseed, 550
sundry seeds, 7,977 sacks and 35,223 barrels of flour.
Compared with Monday last the arrivals of English
wheat fresh up to-day were on the increase, and in some-
what improved condition. For nearly all kinds the demand
ruled inactive ; nevertheless, factors ware firm in their de-
mands, and in the moderate sales effected last week's prices
were supported. Millers, generally, owing to the continued
influx of produce from abroad, showed no disposition to
increase their stocks.

'We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Most descriptions were in steady retail request, chiefly for
inland consumption, at prices equal to Monday last.
Mating cargoes of grain were a moderate demand at
about previous iates.

There was a good demand for barley, especially for the
few tine samples on offer, and in some instances prices were
rather higher.

Malt was in short supply, and good request at full quo-
tations.

The show of oats was only moderate, and the oat trade
was firm at Gd per quarter more money.
Beans commanded extreme rates, with a good demand.
There was a steady sale for peas at extreme quotations,
at is to 2s more money.
The demand for flour was somewhat restricted at about
last Monday's currency. The supply of foreign on offer
was large.

THE CORNISH FISHERIES.—During the past few
days large quantities of herrings have been brought into
Porthleven, which were taken off Plymouth ; one boat had
32,000, others 10,000 and upwards, amounting in the whole
to 80,000, which were freely sold at 2s. 6d. ler 120. The
pilchard fishery at St. Ives is closed for the season ; nearly
all the seines are in the lofts, and the boats are hauled up.
Not many herrings have been caught there during the
week.

COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.--DOVER, DEC.
22.—Last night the brig Mary Wilie, laden with slates, from
Bangor, for Sunderland, was run down by the barque West
Indian, off Beechey Head. She sank immediately. The
captain and crew were picked up by the barque, and were
landed at Dover, at 11 a.m. The men lost everything, and
were in a very destitute condition ; one poor fellow's arm w:
crushed by the anchor. They were all received at the
Sailors' Home, where every possible caro was taken of them
till passed on to London by the South-Eastern Railway.
The weather was clear at the moment of the collision, but
the barque must have nearly closed in upon the brig in a
previous snow storm.

WOOL MARKET.

All kinds of English wool are held at quite last week's
prices ; but the demand is by no means active. Foreign
parcels command very little attention ; but colonial quali-
ties support late rates. The imports last week amounted to
487 bales from Port Elizabeth, and 807 from Algoa Bay.

THE CORNISH FISHERIES.—During the past few
days large quantities of herrings have been brought into
Porthleven, which were taken off Plymouth ; one boat had
32,000, others 10,000 and upwards, amounting in the whole
to 80,000, which were freely sold at 2s. 6d. ter 120. The
pilchard fishery at St. Ives is closed for the season ; nearly
all the seines are in the lofts, and the boats are hauled up.
Not many herrings have boon caught there during the
week.

COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL—DOTER, DEC.
22.—Last night the brig Mary Willie, laden with slates, from
Bangor, for Sunderland, was run down by the barque West
Indian, off Beechey Head. She sank immediately. The
captain and crew were picked up by the barque, and were
landed at Dever, at 11 a.m. The men lost everything, and
were in a very destitute condition ; one poor fellow's arm w
crushed by the anchor. They were all received at the
Sailors' Home, where every possible care was taken of them
till passed on to London by the South-Eastern Railway.
The weather was clear at the moment of the collision, but
the barque must have nearly closed in upon the brig in a
previous pnow storm,

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, exoesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Divase.
The extensivv circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the In-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.

question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-

the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians'and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal

We were very scantily supplied with foreign stock to-
day, yet the demand for it was heavy.

Most of the English beasts on offer were the refuse of
last week. All breeds were heavy in the extreme, at Thurs-
day's decline in value of 4d per Sibs. The extreme value
of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs.

Sheep were in short supply and heavy request, at almost
nominal currencies.

Calves and pigs commanded no attention, at about pre-
vious rates.

The supplies of meat on sale here for Christmas con-
sutfiption are very large; nevertheless, the trade generally
is brisk, and prices rule high.

TIDE ARltt.l.

By the death of Lieut.-Gen. Willis, Col. Strang-
ham, Commandant of the Woolwich Division of
Royal Marines, receives his promotion as Major-
Gen., and retires from the command, in which he
will be succeeded by Col. Campbell, Second Com-
mandant. According to precedent, the announce-
ment will not be forwarded to those concerned
antil the funeral of the deceased General shall have

to hold himself in readiness for service an board her
Majesty's screw steam frigate Narcissus, 51, toge-
ther with Second Lieut. Swinton, one sergeant, one
corporal, one drummer, and 46 privates, and five
privates for the gunboat Penguin, tender to the

THE VOLUNTEER MOVEjIENT.

The prizes recently competed for by the members
of the 37th Middlesex Rifles were distributed to
the successful competitors on Saturday evening
last, at the New Infant School-room, Endell-street,
Bloomsbury, which was tastefully decorated with
flags and flowers. Major Jeakes, the Major-Com-
mandant, presided, and on the platform were seve-
ral ladies, The chairman said he was glad to be
able to congratulate the members upon the success
of the corps. About 12 months ago they mustered
only 60, but now tha corps consisted of between 300
and 400 effective members. Great credit was due
to the members engaged during the day in mecha-
nical pursuits, who had come regularly night after
night to drill. The requisite number of men having
been obtained, the Lord-Lieutenant had given his
permission for the formation of four companies,
and he (the chairman) had been promoted to the
rank of Major--an appointment, however, which
he should hold only as long as he could be of service
to the corps, and no longer. Two gentlemen had
already sent in their testimonial for the appoint•
ment of adjutant, and he hoped soon to be able to
report that one of them had been chosen. The
Rev. A. W. Thorold had consented to act as their
honorary chaplain. A band had ben formed under
the direction of Mr. Tweedie, and would play for
the first time on that day fortnight. To Mr.
Gregory they were indebted for one of the best
drill-grounds in the metropolis, and that gentleman
had offered a building for their head-quarters.
They had met with many drawbacks in their rise
practice from not having a practice-ground of their
own ; but Colonel Bigge was in view of one, and he
hoped soon to be able to report that they had se-
cured a practice-ground and butt of their own.
Government, he was glad to say, had recently granted
00 rounds of ammunition per man annually. A re-
solution having been passed, reducing the annual sub-
scription from a guinea to 103. 6d., and another
nominating Messrs. Gardner, Gregory, Butt, and
Robert for the vacant commissions to be submitted
to the
Lord Lieutenant, the chairman proceeded to
distribute the prizes as follows :—The first prize,

It appears that the rector asked Mr. Hansard to

SLIDES ON THE FOOTPATR3.—A boy named Joseph
'lackborough was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with sliding on the footpath in the IVhitechaPel-road, near
Mary-street.
Police Constable Brown, No. 181 11, said that yesterday
afternoon there was 30 boys sliding on the footpath. He
reluonstrated with them, and they all desisted except the
Prisoner, who continued sliding, and on being told it was
improper to do so he set him at defiance, and he was con•
Pelled to take him into custody.
Ntr. Yardley said there were slides in all directions, and
they were highly dangerous to pedestrians. lie must
really make a severe example of boys who made slid es in the
streets. _ _ _

Brown said many persons had fallen down on the parti-
eUlar slide in question, and upon another slide a woman
fell and fractured her arm.

The prisoner said he did know it was wrong to slide.
lir. Yardley—lt is very wrong, sir.
The prisoner--I can't read. I never saw the bills out.
Air. Yardley—lgnorance of the law is no excuse for
breaking it. Besides you have been treated with a good
"al of forbearance, and after the policeman had told you
/°llwere acting improperly, you began sliding again.
The mother of the boy said she had despatched her •son
"11 a message to the West-end, and little thought he was
la the Whitechapel-road.
Mr. Yardley—There are as many slides at the west end
:4:there are in the east. The nuisance is universal and must
Possible be suppressed. The penalty for sliding is 405.,
alld I don't see why I should not impose that penalty.
The mother said she would keep her boy out of harm's
ItaY in future.
t Mr. Yardley—lle is fined a shilling—lock him up for an
4ru.r.
Several other boys were charged with slidinF on the
tit triage-way and footpaths, and were fined a shilling each.
