LITERATURE.

Ceylon. By Sir James Emerson Tennent. Third
Edition. Two vols. Longman.
_ _

It is long since a work in every Way so superior
has appeared before the public as the one before us,
and there is no reason to wonder at its remarkable
success when its merits are takes into consideration.
Its author has had the advantage of residing for
many years in the island he describes to us, and he
has made the best use of his time there, for these
chronicles of Ceylon that are the results of his
literary and scientific researches are of that nature
and character, that an intellectual and cultivated
generation will not willingly allow to be forgotten.
It will be found on perusal that the work amply
fulfils its promise en the title-page, of giving an
account of the island, physical, historical, and topo-
graphical, with notices of its natural history, anti-
quities, and productions. It is also illustrated by
maps, plans, and drawings. Comprehensive
in design as this appears, the execution
does not fall short in the graphical sketches
before us. The "arrangement of the various
parts is very clearly and effectively made. The five
divisions of the first volume are as follows :—Physi-
cal Geography ; Zoology ; The Singalese Chroni-
cles; Sciences and Social Arts; and Aleiheval
History. The author remarks in the introduction
that " There is no island in the world, Great
Britain itself not excepted, that has attracted
the attention of authors in so many distant
ages, and so many distant countries, as Cey-
lon. There is no nation in ancient or modern
times possessed of a language and a literature
the writers of which have not, at some time,
made it their theme." He goes on to say, however,
that while it has been described by the classic
Greeks, the Romans, by the writers of China, &c.,
and by the annalists and geographers of many
other nations, there is a dearth of information
concerning its state during recent periods and
the present day. He has endeavoured to supply
this want while giving a general history of the
place; and the labour of the task may be sup-
posed when it is told that " for almost every
particular and fact, whether physical or historical,
I have been, to a great extent, thrown on my
own researches, and obliged to seek for in-
formation in original sources." No better idea can
be conveyed of the style of this fascinating book
than in the following passage, which introduces
it to the reader in its general aspect :

" Ceylon, from whatever direction it is approached, un-
folds a scene of loveliness and grandeur unsurpassed, if it
be rivalled, by any land in the universe. The traveller
from Bengal, leaving behind the melancholy delta of the
Ganges and the torrid coast of Coromandel; or the adven-
turer from Europe, recently inured to the sands of Egypt
and the scorched headlands of Arabia, is alike entranced by
the vision of beauty which expands before him as the island
rises from the sea, its lofty mountains covered by luxuriant
forests, and its shores, till they meet the ripple or the waves,
bright with the foliage of perpetual spring.
" The Brahmans designated it by the epithet of Lanka,
' the resplendent,' and in their dreamy rhapsodies extolled
it as the region of mystery and sublimity; the Buddhist
poets gracefully apostrophised it as a pearl upon the brow
of India;' the Chinese knew it as the ' island of jewels;'
the Greeks as the land of the hyacinth 'and the ruby ;'
the Mahometans, in the intensity of their delight, assigned
it to the exiled parents of mankind as a new elysium to
console them for the loss of Paradise; and the early navi-
gators of Europe, as they returned dazzled with its gems,
and laden with its costly spices, propagated the fable that
far to seaward the very breeze that blew from it was re-
dolent of perfume. In later and less imaginative times,
Ceylon has still maintained the renown of its attractions,
and exhibits in all its varied charms ' the highest conceiv-
able development of Indian nature.'

" The soil in these regions is consequently light and un-
remunerative, but the plentiful moisture arising from the
interception Of every passing vapour from the Indian Ocean
and the Bay of Bengal, added to the intense warmth of the
atmosphere, combine to force a vegetation so rich and
luxuriant that imagination can picture nothing more won-
drous and charming ; every level spot is enamelled with
verdure, forests of never-fading bloom cover mountain and
valley ; flowers of the brightest hues grow in profusion over
the plains, and delicate climbing plants, rooted in the shel-
ving rocks, hang in huge festoons down the edge of every
precipice.
" Unlike the forests of Europe, in which the excess of
some peculiar trees imparts a character of monotony and
graveness to the outline and colouring, the forests of Ceylon
are singularly attractive from the endless variety of their
foliage, and the vivid contrast of their hues. The moun-
tains, especially those looking towards the east and south,
rise abruptly to prodigious and almost precipitous heights
above the level plains ; the rivers wind through woods be-
low like threads of silver through green embroidery, till
they are lost in a dim haze which conceals the far horizon ;
and through this a line of tremulous light marks where the
sunbeams are glittering among the waves upon the distant
shore.

" From age to age a scene so lovely has imparted a
colouring of romance to the adventures of the seamen who,
in the eagerness of commerce, swept round the shores of
India, to bring back the pearls and precious stones, the
cinnamon and odours, of Ceylon. The tales of the Arabians
are fraught with the wonders of ' Serepdid ;' and the mari-
ners of the Persian Gulf have left a record of their delight
in reaching the calm havens of the island, and reposing for
months together in valleys where the waters of the sea
were overshadowed by woods, and the gardens were bloom-
ing in perennial summer.
The portion of the descriptions which relates to the
gems is very interesting. From time immemorial
this island has been celebrated for its sparkling
mines. The accounts of travellers returning from
the east gave to the story-tellers of the "Arabian
Nights" the fables of the jewels of Serenclib, and
the profusion in which they still exist is enough to
to prove that there is foundation for the marvels re •
lated of the olden time. Diamonds are not native
in Ceylon, as has been sometimes said, but there are
many brilliant gems to compensate for this defi-
ciency. It cannot but be desirable to become ac-
quainted with the facts here specified concerning
the climate of Ceylon. It would appear on un-
questionable authority that it is very far from being
so injurious in its effects as many foreign locali-
ties. The subjoined lines cn the subject will be
acceptable :

"The climate of Ceylon, from its physical configuration
' and insular detachment, contrasts favourably With that of
the great Indian peninsula. Owing to the moderate dimen-
sions of the island, the elevation of its mountains, the very
short space during which the sun is passing over it in his
regression from or approach to the soltices, and its sur-
rounding seas being nearly uniform in temperature, it is
exempt from the extremes of heating and cooling to which
the neighbouring continent of India is exposed. From the
same causes it is subjected more uniformly to the genial in-
fluences of the trade winds that blow over the Indian Ocean
and the Bay of Bengal.
" The island is seldom visited by hurricanes, or swept by
typhoons, and the breeze, unlike the hot and
arid winds of
Coromandel and the Dekkan, is always more or less re-
, freshing. The range of the thermometer exhibits no vio-
lent changes, and never indicates a temperature insupport-
ably high. The mean on an annual average scarcely ex-
ceeds 80 deg. at Colombo, though in exceptional years it
has risen to 86 deg. But at no period o&the day are dan-
gerous results to be apprehended from exposure to the sun ;
and except during parts of the months of March and April,
there is no season when moderate exercise is not practic-
able and agreeable. For half the year, from October to
May, the prevailing winds are from the north-east, and
during the remaining months the sonth-west monsoon
blows steadily from the great. Indian Ocean. The former,
affected by the wintry chills of the vast tracts of land which
it traverses before crossing the Bay of Bengal, is subject to
many local variations and intervals of calm. But the lat-
ter, after the first violence of its outset is abated, becomes
nearly uniform throughout the period of its prevalence,
and presents the character of an on-shore breeze extend-
ing over a prodigious expanse of sea and land, and exert•
ing a powerful influence along the regions of southern
Asia.

" In Ceylon the proverbial fickleness of the winds, and
the uncertainty which characterises the seasons in northern
climates, is comparatively unknown ; and the occurrence of
changes or rain may be anticipated with considerable accu-
racy in any month of a coming year. There are, of course,
abnormal seasons with higher ranges of temperature, hea-
vier rains, or droughts of longer continuance, but such ex-
tremes are exceptional and rare. Great atmospheric changes,
occur only at two opposite pericids of the year, and so gra-
dual is their approach that the climate is monotonous, and
one longs to see again the falling of the leaf' to diversify
the sameness of perennial verdure. The line is faint which
divides the seasons. No period of the year is divested of its

with opening 'buds. But as every plant has its own period
for the production of its flowers and fruit, each month Di
characterised by its own peculiar flora.
" As regards the foliage of the trees, it might be expected
that the variety of tints would be wanting which forms the
charm of a European landscape, and that all nature would
wear ono mantle of unchanging green. But it has been re'
marked by a tasteful observer that such is far from the fact,
and though in Ceylon there is no revolution of seasons, the
change of leaf on the same plant exhibits colours as bright
as those which tinge the autumnal woods of America. It
is not the decaying leaves, but the fresh shoots, which es"
hibit these brightened colours, the older are still vividly
green, whilst the young are bursting forth; and the extre•
mities of the branches present tufts of pale yellow, pink,
crimson, and purple, which give them at a distance the ar
pearance of a cluster of flowers."

One of the most curious things mentioned in the
accounts of the plants and trees is the strange
growth of the fig-tree, whose seeds take root in an
• extraordinary manner. There is an engraving
which represents "the marriage of the fig-tree with
the palm." The original tree, strangled with the
weight of its companion, at last dies, and leaves the
intruder in undisturbed possession. These penile'
vering interloprs also assail the ancient mono'
ments of Ceylon. One, in aruined edifice at Polls.
• narrua, is the most conspicuous object of the place;
, " its roots, streaming downwards ever the walls 00
if they had once been fluid, follow every sinuositl
L of the building and terraces till they reach the
earth." The palm is the most attractive, both 10
singularity and beauty, of all the trees in the forest,
of Ceylon. The leaves are converted into maul
• uses for the Singalese, one of the most interce stip(
being as " substitutes for paper, both for books an
ordinary purposes." It is worthy of notice in hof
many various forms the palmyra is of signal see'
vice. The natives of the south boast of the
hundred uses to which the cocoa nut palte
may be applied, and those of the northell
. provinces find their palmyra equally available.
fruit yields them food and oil, its juice palm NO?°
and sugar, its stem is the chief material of their
buildings, and its leaves, besides serving as roofs to
their dwellings and fences to their farms, suppli.
them with matting and baskets, with head.dressee
and fans, and serve as a substitute for paper fot
their deeds and writings, and for the sacred Woke
which contain the traditions of their faith." In the,
chapter on the literature of the Singhalese we wee'
with details that arrest the attention ; in the, ao'
count of the palm tree there is a description °`
the preparation of olas, which are strips take°,
from the leaves of the palm for the purpose 0'
forming substitutes for paper. The books of the
' Singhalese are formed to-day, as they have been for
' ages past, of this strange material. In old final
the Buddhist priesthood were the depositories 0
' all learning and the dispensers of all knowledge'
" On these palm leaves the custom is to write W
an iron stile held nearly upright, and steadied 11!
nick cut to receive it in the thumb-nail of theleP,
hand, the furrow made by the pressure of the ste"
is rendered visible by the application of chareFt
ground with a fragrant oil, to the odour of wise'
the natives ascribe the remarkable state of preset;
vation in which their most sacred books are foul
its aromatic properties securing the leaves freg
destruction by white ants and other insects."
many of the works are in Pali or Sanskrit that tt
Singalese can scarcely, it is said, be considered
possess a literature in their own dialect. It
strange that such is the passion for verse the:
nearly all Singalese works, in all times, are coo,
posed in that form ; and perhaps some hopelee,
students here would be glad if the English write'
followed the example of the writers of the null
rous grammars that are found in the island, for,
is mentioned that "even the repulsive abstraction
of Syntax have found an Alvarez, and been el,
veloped in metrical disguise.—The ilrahawanso:
mentioned as the chef d'ccurre of Pali literatll
the compilation of the Buddhist priests. "It sts!,

and unsurpassed, if it be equalled,

An account is given of Buddhism and Demon 'W
ship, which conveys a very good idea of the ge_te
j
ral state of the island in religious matters; ral
although the author prefaces it by stating
them exists considerable difficulty in the taskim
will be found by the reader, on perusal, that
sketch is so succinct and so skilfully arranged, t'';
he can hardly fail to be familiar with the strativbe
tenets of faith that have held permanent sws9°loji
the people from a time that may be considereu:ey
in the twilight of fable, and which still exert to
mighty sway, and exercise their apparently .
trovertible influence. Buddhism is here emphs
cally designated as destitute of vitality. " The he,
and fears of a Buddhist are at once
mean and e!)
cumscribed; the rewards held in prospect by',7o
creed are insufficient to incite him to virtue, One,
punishments too remote to deter him fromc
tf
l'hus insufficient for time, and rejecting eterol6,
the utmost triumph of his religion is to live 0.(
out fear and to die without hope." The folloicl;;„;
passage illustrates the impediments that hinder:eif
progress of the missionaries, and frustrate tu
efforts towards Christianising the island :
00
" Thus the outward concurrence of Christianity in 030
points on which it agrees with their own religiTlf,
proved more embarrassing to
i the natives than their
eri
plexity as to others in which t essentially differs ; til
last, too timid to doubt and too feeble to inquire, they ers
with helpless tenacity to their own superstition, and iss
subscribe to the new faith simply by adding it on to
old.
" Combined with this state of irresolution a serious °tlg
stacle to the acceptance of reformed Christianity by
id
Singhalese Buddhists has arisen froluthe-differences
disagreements between the various chirches by whoa 5,
nisters it has been successively offered to them. 1114
persecution of the Roman Catholics by the Dutch, the 0-i1
sequent supercession of the Church of Holland by thity
England, the rivalries more or less apparent betweeu,4
Episcopalians and Presbyterians, and the peculiars
which separate the Baptists from the Wesleyan Meth
—all of whom have their missions and representaiiveo,,,
Ceylon—the Singhalese can discover little more than ,t 1
they are offered something still doubtful and unsettlea#
exchange for which they are pressed to surrender their 43
ancient superstition. Conscious of their inability to de o
on what has baffled the wisest of their European teacheJ,

when truth has been so far successful as to shake their cm.)
fidence in their national faith, the choice of sects vtl3)to

the peculiar form of Christianity with which they Pr
most confidingly replace it."
We shall take an early opportunity of again We;
ring to this admirable work, which offers subject
for attention and contemplation in almost eget/
page.

TILE NEW _INDIAN GOVERNMEX
AND ITS PATRONAGE.

There were two acknowledged difficulties in the settle
ment by Parliament of the home constitution for Ind/t
be substituted for the East India Company and Boaruj
Control. These were, first, the control of expendituiv
familiar terms, the question who was to be vested wit ty
power of the purse; and, secondly, to whom was the
patronise to be transferred which was then enjoyed bl„rs
East India Company, and distributed among the direo_"ol
who allotted a double share to the President of the BeePiDe
Control. These difficulties were fully recognised in 0
discussions which took place in the House of Commollf,eo
1858, and it was especially for the purpose of meeting tPoie
that the Council established by the act of that year was
strong in number, and, by the conditions of election o#
nomination with a declared tenure for life, as iudependeeo,
character as could well be devised. To the Council so.,,„cre;
stituted the act specifically gave the control of expentb,:
oi
requiring the concurrence of a majority for every vote
money, and the signature of those members of the Oca,,f
to every document for its issue. The military, which,
the most important branch of patronage, was also sPeci'
cally directed to be distributed among the members, as 11;;p1
toforo among the directors of the East India Company, .7eit
a double share to the Secretary of State as president
Council. One-tenth, however, was reserved to be ttl'
priated to the families of men who had deserved we 0, service in" India upon any royal or local establishO'd
With respect to other services and establishments, it)00,
left to the Secretary of State in Council to make reguloloo
for the patronage, which were to be eventually laid he'
Parliament.
Such was the constitution established in 1858, now Ioi,AJ
second year of its working. The Council [have not Yoo
easy times in finance, but the credit of India is now
rise; and it is likely, when the enormous military chs'i#
occasioned by the necessity of sending upwards of 9024
men of the line to subdue the rebellion of the Bengal se
regiments, shall be reduced, and that branch of the rulDr
have to be placed on its ordinary peace footing, the Coteee6
will again be able to lay before Parliament a balance-Pe?
proving India's ability to meet her own annual expeltiog
from annual revenue. It is much too premature to
this branch of, the subject under review, and to
whether the control of the supposed independent Cow
has been, efficient or otherwise in its management Ile
But:withrespect to the patronage, itis known to those 1, 6.0

claimants on the score of public services, as candidates "o'
hoped for a nomination from the personal favour of rise,
bers of the Council, that the answer they have received ,e
that there is to be no distribution of military patrons e
this year ; and with respect to all other services, that t''oo
have been no regulations yet established, but the whole „
ie
been assumed by the Secretary of State
as attaching t° grl
office. This is likely to lead to sad disappointment anci°Pee
those classes of the community who, through past collide
tion with India, have had the lion's share of this patre„llroef in some way distributed amongst them. It cannot, of c°""dis'
be pretended to judge of the grounds upon which the
110
tribution presented by law for their military patronage been suspended for this year. One of the avowed refl.' op
is said to be, that there are outstanding, and not taketl,l,
by nominees, or not appropriated, nearly as many now;,or,
tions to the Indian army as are usually made in one.
This, even if true, is no sufficient reason; for, since;oes
introduction of examinations a year is given to a netaiote
to pass them and take up his appointment , this 1%4'
of necessity, lead to appointments being a year boiled
hand, just as would be the case if cadets were recutd
to pass a year at Sandhurst or any other military
There must evidently, therefore, be some other ty'4o
for suspending the operation, if noti endeavouring to

the act of Parliament, and a breach Of faith with the n"bli
of Commons and the country in this respect; and preb,
the unsettled state of the question relating to the reorgpt.

kTTEMPTED ESCAPE. OF A CONVlCT.—Yesterdny
morning, as a gang of convicts were employed moving tim-
ber at the bank of the saw-mills adjoining the main guard
at the north part of Portsmouth dockyard, ono of them,
!lamed James Paul (No. 6,078), ma naged to evade the vigi-
lance of the warder who had the p, arty in charge, and was
not rec
')apturdd until 3.36 p.m., when he was found by the
Police hidden among some stores at the north-end of the
steam factory
.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1860.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TTHS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL-BOLDERO V. ARUNDEL-JUDGMENT

The Lord Chancellor said—The only question raised by
this appeal is, whether an annuity of £6OO, directed to be
paid to the appellant by the trust-deed, is a charge on the
corpus as well as the income of the trust-estate. I think
that the Master of the Rolls, in holding that it is a charge
on the income only, is right. This does not depend on any
abstract question of law, but entirely on the intention of
the party, as to whether this was or was not a real charge
as indicated by the deed. Tho result of my consideration
of it is, that it was not a real charge but a charge on the
income only. His Lordship affirmed the decision of the
Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs.

APPEAL-EOLDXRO V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY-

JUDGMENT.

The Lord Chancellor said—Having carefully perused all
the documents produced, and reconsidered all the arguments
on both sides in this important case, I am clearly of opinion
that the deeree of the Master of the Rolls ought to be
affirmed. The plaintiff's claim for a retiring allowance
rests upon contract, and he is bound to show, on some
contract expressed or implied, that he is entitled to this al-
lowance by the regulations of the East India Company.
I consider that the plaintiff has not made out his claim.
His Lordship affirmed the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs.

ROLLS' COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls and a Special Jury.)
MORRISON V. BARROW.-TRIAL BY JURY AND MOTION

FOR DECREE, PART HEARD.
The further hearing of this cause was resumed this
morning at ten o'clock.

Richard Barrow, defendant, was examined by Mr. Lusb.
He said—The amount of railway charge and demurrage is
the cause of difference between me and plaintiff. Mr.
Heiton attends my office and carries out my orders. His
salary is £5OO per annum, and 5 per cent. on capital. I
was not at Derby on Friday, 29th July. I was then in
London. I did not know of, and did not authorise Mr.
Heiton to enter into the agreement in question. When I
returned from the Continent, in July, he told me there was
a one-sided agreement proposed, but it was not entered
into.

The case was proeeeding when we went to press.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

A ROYAL BRITISH BANK VICTIM.-EXTRAORDINARY
REVERSI OP FORTUNE.-WHITRIIEAD V. EMRICH.

This was an action to recover £3 15s. for one quarter's

salary alleged to be due as under.

Plaintiff's brother said that he and defendant occupied
offices in July Lust in Chapman's-buildings. Witness made
an arrangement with defendant that plaintiff, a youth out of
employment, should be a clerk between them, each party
paying him £l5 per annum. Defendant had paid no salary,
hence the present action.
Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, cross-examined the witness
as to whether he did not owe defendant a sum of money.
Witness—No; he owes me money. He was in the
Queen's Bench, and I took him through the Court.
Mr. Buchanan—Oh ! don't talk about the Bench. You
know the way there.
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Buchanan.—Did not the defendant keep you whiles
you were there.
Witness—No.'

An entry of a £5 loan was shown in defendant's scrib-
bling diary, but Mr. Beard, for plaintiff, objected to its
being put in. The witness, however, admitted an lOU for
£l, produced.

and demanded of the prisoner where he had obtained the
ingot, to which he replied, "I have found it." The
officer asked him where he found the copper. The prisoner
said, "I shall not tell you, and you will get no more infor-
mation from me." The prisoner was taken into custody,
and remanded by Mr. Selfe until this day.
Captain Robert Nicholls, master of the ship Ardbeg, now
attended, and identified the ingot of copper, and said it had
been stolen from the ship. He knew it by a mark upon it.
1 here were 2,000 cakes of copper on board, and they be-
longed to her Majesty's Government. He did not know
how the prisoner managed to get the copper out of the
dock.

Mr. Selfe —Nor I. The constables and gate-keepers keep
a good look out generally.
John Donahoo, a labourer, saw the prisoner on board the
ship Ardbeg on Wednesday last. The prisoner descended
the fore hatch into the main hold, where the copper was
stowed. He did not see the prisoner leave the ship.
Mr. Selfe—Here is a ship with a valuable cargo, public
property, and a thief is enabled to carry away a large ingot
of copper in open day.
Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Charles Young, soli-
citor, who cross-examined the witnesses, said—The prisoner,
acting upon his (Mr. Gomm's) advice, would plead guilty
to the unlawful possession of the copper.
Mr. Selfe--Unlawful possession ? If I commit him it
will be for stealing.
Mr. Gomm—He will plead guiity.
Mr. Selfe received the prisoner's plea, and after remark-
ing that there was no doubt he stole the copper, convicted
him of larceny andsentenced him to five months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Plaintiff was called, and said he heard the engagement
made between the last witness and defendant. Each party
was to pay Xl5 per annum.
_ _

It transpired after the conviction that the prisoner was
convicted in the early part of last year, and sentenced to
six months' imprisonment for a similar robbery.

Mr. Buchanan. then said that there was no engagement,
and that even if there was it was as follows :—Plaintiff's
brother owed money. Defendant agreed to take plaintiff
as clerk, the bro Cher to pay him, and the amount so'paid to
go against his debt with defendant. He called

Defendant, who was very deaf, and commenced a very
long and, indeed„ an almost interminable story. Ho said
that he took the first witness out of the Bench, and they
(defendant and Sir. Whitehead) afterwards occupied a suit
of offices. It was agreed that they should pay the laundress
6s. per week between them. Ho (defendant) paid the 12s.
for two weeks because Whitehead had no money. He had
not twelvepence. Tie hadn't paid his rent—in fact ho never
paid• Witness did not engage the plaintiff as a clerk. Why
Whitehead didn't even pay for having his name written
up. (Laughter.)

PORT REGULATIONS AT S4NTA CRUZ

(T.L'N.ERIFFE.)

His Honour—lt appears they were partners. They had
a joint interest in the clerk (laughter), and in the laundress.
(Roars of laughter,)

Mr. Beard—• Very little of what defendant has been stating
is evidence.

The annexed correspondence has been forwarded
for publication :

" Madrid, Dec. 26, 1859,

"My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit herewith to
your lordship the copies of a correspondence which I have
had with the Government of her Catholic Majesty respect-
ing the regulations of the Board of Health at Santa Cruz
de Tenoriffo, by which all vessels entering that port were
compelled to anchor to leeward of the town, and to pay pi-
lotage to the pilotboat sent out to show them the anchorage.
Your lordship will observe, from M. Calderon Collantes'
note, that these vexatiousregulations were suppressed bythe
Governor of the Canary Islands as soon as his Excellency
became acquainted with their having been adopted.—l
have, &c., " ANDREW BUCHANAN.
" To Lord J. Russell."

" Madrid, Oct. 8, 1859.
" Sir,—T have the honour to call your Excellency's atten-
tion to a notice, of which a copy is enclosedherewith, which
was addressed by the Provincial Board of Health of Santa
Cruz to her Majesty's Consul for the Canary Island, stating
that all vessels arriving at that port shall, as a sanitary urea -
sure, anchor to leeward of the town, and that a pilot will be
sent to them for that purpose, for which they shall pay
pilotage, whether they receive a pilot on board or not. As
this regulation is inconsistent with the royal order upon
pilotage, according to which it is not obligatory on vessels
to take pilots, I have to request that your Excellency will
move the competent authority that it may be rescinded, and
that any pilotage exacted from the masters of British
vessels, in contravention of the Royal Order, may be re-
turned to them.—l avail, &c.,

"ANDREW BUCHANAN,
" To Don Saturnino Calderon Collantes."
" Palace, Dec. 21, 1859,

His Honour—l agree with you, but it's you Instructive.
Defendant—l -was anxious—

Mr. Beard (calling)—Mr. Burke.
Defendant—To push Whitehead on; and—
Mr. Beard (out of all patience)—Mr. Deaf Burke—upon
my word, ono vrould think you were the original great
Deaf Burke—pray attend to me. Now, you have thrown
out insinuations about Mr. Whitehead never paying; how
many times have you been bankrupt ?
Defendant—You are making it a personal matter, sir,
and I will not submit. (With much feeling)—T was once
one of the richest men in London. I lost £lO,OOO in the
Royal British Bank. (Sensation.) I was the original
petitioning creditor. It ruined me.
His Honour—ls this so ?

" Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, in reply to your
note of October last, that immediately on the Governor of
the Canary Islands becoming acquainted with the decision
of the Board of Health of Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, dated
the 7th of the preCeding September, by which all vessels
putting into that port were compelled to take a pilot, he
gave directions that the said decision should remain with-
out effect, as being in opposition to the provisions of the
Royal Order of the 26th September, 1850, thus anticipating
the wishes expressed by you in your above-mentioned note.
—I avail, &c., •

Mr. Beard—Yes. fie-Was the petitioning creditor.
Defendant—Ah. I ask John Linklater ; he will tell you.
Then I accepted accommodation bills for a gentleman (a
late Common Councilman), whom I believed to be worth a
million, and he broke. I didn't owe a penny, but I was
forced into the " Gazette," and the Commissioner with•
held my certificate for six months; but I have it now.
Mr. Beard—In whose name did you carry on business in
Chapman's-buildi 1161 i ?
Defendant—Lee. I didn't like that eld friends should
see my name up. Lee is my brother-in-law. He is a
gentleman. He his money. I had some once.
Defendant then generally denied that plaintiff was his
clerk ; and his Honour, after reading an entry in the scrib-
bling diary, gave him a verdict with costs.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.)
SEVERAL TITTLY3LEN FINED FOR NON-ATTENDANCE.
This day the jury list was called over, and five jurymen
were fined 40s. and issues for continued non-attendance.
The officer of the court reported that many of the absen-
tees had been very regular in their attendance, and they
