LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, MIDNIGHT.

The Royal mail steamship Africa, Captain Shan-
non, has arrived with advices from New York to
the 20th inst., and 1,244,367 dnls. on freight.
In the Senate on the 19th, oil the motion of Mr.
Seward, a resolution was adopted requesting the
President, if not incompatible with the public
interests, to communicate to the Senate any infor-
mation in his possession derived from officers of
the United States squadron on the coast of Africa,
or from the British or French Governments, or any
other official sources, concerning the revival of the
slave trade.

The Chairman of the Special Committee on the
Pacific Railroad scheme had introduced a Bill ; it
proposes to locate the road at a point on the Mio"
sours river between the Big Sioux and the Kansas •
rivers, thence running to San Francisco on the
mo•t eligible route. In :yid of the construction of
the work alternate sections of land on each side of
the road are to be granted, and 12,500d015. advanced
on the completion of every twenty-five miles of
the track until 25,000,000 are expended, the
amount to be reimbursed in mail service and the
transportation of troops and munitions of war.
The President is to receive the bids and make the
contract for twenty years. Five per cent of the
stock is to be issued.

In the House of Representatives on the 18th
Mr. Campbell asked leave to offer a joint resolution
authorizing the President to negotiate, through
the State Depai tment, for the acquisition of Ca-
nada, Nova Scotia, and other parts in British North
America, and Cuba and the other islands adjacent
thereto, and aum ring them to the United States.
In the event of any acquisition no portion should
be admitted into the Union until possessed of suffi-
cient population to send one member to the House
of Representatives, or until the bonafide residents
should have an opportunity of voting on the Cow.
stitution, and regulating their domestic institutions
in their own "way, subject only to the Constitution
of the United States. The motion did not meet
with approval. The New York papers ridicule it,
and ask why Mr. Campbell did not include the
entire continent of America.

" Owing, says the New York Times—
" To the continued heavy westerly winds which
have prevailed for the past two months vessels
bound westward from European ports are making
uncommonly long passages. With those carrying
passengers, at this season of the year, a long pa'
sage proves very injurious and destructive to health
and life. Ship fever more particularly is apt to
make fearful work among emigrants ill clad and
provisioned, and poorly supplied with the pure air,
so absolutely essential to the preservation a
health. It is almost impossible to force emigrant
passengers upon deck during reugh and wet weather.
Many captains are prone to indulge their passengef
in their desire to remain below, and the sad result 11.
at this season of the year that ship fever is almost
certain to follow. We learn that a vessel arrived
during the past week at Quarantine had 20 death!
on the passage, and about the same number bad
the ship fever upon her arrival. There are maul
vessels now at sea that have been out, some 600„
and soma even 70 days. It is feared they will
suffer much from want and disease."
A public school at Brooklyn had been destroYsa,
by fire. There were nearly 900 pupils present at
the time the fire broke out, and in the excitement
attending their exit from the building seven boy*,
between the ages of 6 and 10 years, were crushed
and suffocated by their companions on the middle
landing of the lower stairway.
The steamer Fashion, which conveyed Walker V"
Nicaragua, had arrived at New Orleans and WO
seized by the authorities.

MARIKT,T NEWB.-(Thiti-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--('This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chatle4lor.)
ELLIS V. ELLIS.

This was an appeal from an order of Vice• Chancellor

Sir John Stuart, affirming the certificate of his chief
clerk in taking acoonnts between the parties in this
cause, The Lord Chancellor said that he had already
disposed of a great number of the objections taktn to
the certificate of the chief clerk in the course of the argu-
ments in the cause. His lordship, since the hearing,
had carefully gone over and ( unlined a great mass of
affidavits, in order to see that nothing relevant was over-
lonked. His lordship said that be could not disturb tie
findings in the Vice-Ohancellor's decree either upon
the accounts or costs of snit. The first item which the
Vice-Chancellor allowed is a sum of 4161. for the
maintenance and education of the plaintiff and the
other children until he attained the see of 25. His
lordship thought it a reasonable and sufficient sum to be
allowed at the time it was before him, but his lordship
allowed the Chief Clerk to investigate into the circum-
stances, and he was also of opinion that that was a
suitable amount. His lordship would not set aside that
finding.

With regard to the sum of 681. 5e., it might have been
allowed to the widow if hi h e had not remained in the
house, but his Lordship was clearly of opinion that it
was properly disallowed by the chief clerk.
The next item objected to, a sum of 1211., b( ing
interest on a mortgage for 6501., hie Lordship was of
opinion that it was properly allowed by the Vice-
Chancellor.

The case to be spoken to as to costs in the cause
(after the recess) on the 20th current.

IN RE. DODDS.

Counsel applied to his Lordship upon affidavits to be
filed in the course of the day, for habeas corpus, or an
order to discharge Dodds, a debtor prisoner in Jersey
jail upon grounds different from those upon which a
similar former application was made.
His Lordship thought that the application should
have been made to a court of law—the Court of Common
Pleas.

The counsel for the prisoner stated that the eourts of
common law had no power to grant a commission to
take affidavits in Jersey, and the authorities there would
not take the affidavits themselves, nor allow any one
else to take them in the island ; that the present affi-
davits were sworn in London.

His Lordship consented to take the affidavits, and
dispose of the case to-morrow, at 12 o'clock, at his resi-
dence, this being the last day of term.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Woo,1.)
IN RE PINKERTON'S 'RUNTS --PETITION TOR JUDGMENT. g

His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, having examined
the original will of the testator and compared it with
the official copy in reference to the periodical
fluctuation, was of opinion that although the
intention of the testator was not definitely
expressed, and the punctuation was defective ;

EVANS V. EVANS.

Judgment posponed.

COURT FOR THE CONSPERA_TION OF
CROWN CASES RESERVED.
THE EOLTON MURDER.

THE QUEEN T. AARON MELLOR -JUDGMENT.

In this case Aaron Mellor was tried at the last Liver-
pool winter assizes, before Mr. Justice Wightnaan, for
the murder of his wife Alice Mellor, at Bolton, Lanca-
shire, found guilty, and left for execution. The day
atter the trial it was discovered that by mistake a jury-
man on the panel, named William Thornley, answered
to the name of Joseph Henry Thorn, went into, the
box, was sworn, and acted with the others, and it was
contended that the trial was void ; and as the prisoner
bad been put in peril, he could not be tritil again, and
ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice Wightmau resulted
the prisoner, and reserved the point for the considera-
tion of the Court. On Saturday week last the case was
argued before Lord Campbell, Lori Chief Justice Cock-
burn, the Lord Chief Baron, and eleven pui.ne juriges.
A point was then raised that the Court had not jurisdic-
tion, the point reserved by the learned judge being one
of fact after the trial, and not of lax on the trial, the
Court being oonstitsted alone for the consideration of
points of law raised on the trial of a prisoner. The
point being an important one, the Court took time to
consider their judgment. This morning the 14 learned
judges reassembled to deliver their judgment, when a
great difference of opinion appeared to prevail.
Lord Campbell first delivered his j advisee. He said
that after a careful and attentive considerati,m of the
act of Parliament, the 11 and 12 Vic., chap. 78, under
which the Court was constituted, he considered the
Court had jurisdiction. The mistake having been dis
covered during the period of the commission, and the
prisoner respited by the judge who tried the case, the
point relative to the swearing the wrong juryman was
a point of law, and might be said to have arisen on
the trial. It was necessary that a wide significance
should be given to that part of the act, and he
considered the case came properly before them on
a point of law instead iff being raised on a writ of
error. The noble and learned lord then entered
into the details of the case, the authorities that
had been quoted in the course of the argument, and
quoted from "Blackstone" in reference to the constitu-
tion of juries, and gave it as his opinion that in this
case there had been a mis-trial, and that a Venire de
tnovo should issue, becase the prisoner had suffered no
njury and had not been prejudiced by the first trial.

Lord Chief Justice Cockburn concurred in the court
having jurisdiction in the matter that there had been a
mistrial, and that a venire de novo should issue. No
injury had been inflicted in this case by the trial, but it
might have happened, and it was essential to a fair and
honest trial that a prisoner should have a right of chal-
lenge, which he was debarred from when a juryman
answered to a wrong name. A prisoner or his friends
might know by name a jerytnan who was hostile to him,
and bad a prejudice against him, whilst they might
know him personally, and so do him a great injustice from
his being deprived thereby of his right of challenge. For
such a case he could see no remedy, and he wished oar
criminal procedure was such that the courts could ascer-
tain on facts brought before them that a prisoner, by
such a mistake, had or had not been prejudiced on his
trial. Two serious inconveniences arose under the pre-
sent law—either that a guilty man might escape with
impunity or an innocent man be placed at the mercy of
the advisers of the Crown. The only remedy that there
appeared to him to be in this case was to hold that this
was a mis-trial, so that the ends of justice might not be
defeated, seeing that the prisoner bad not been preju-
diced by the trial that had taken place.

Lord Chief Baron Pollock said that the Court had no
jurisdiction in this case, and that the proceedings should
have been by writ of error. The Court had no right
to order a new trial, and he very much doubted if they
did whether the prisener could not move for a habeas
corpus for his discharge, and whether they could ay him
again. The Court was constituted to reverse, affirm, or
amend points of law decided on the trial of prisoners,
and to give to the provisions of this act the construction
laid down by the learned judges who bad preceded him
was far exceeding their duties, and by so doing they
were usurping the duties of legislators, which it was
never intended they should do.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr.
Baron Martin, and Mr. Baron Watson held that there
had been a mis-trial, and that a venire de novo ought to
issue. _ .

Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice
Crowder, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Willes,
Mr. Justice Byles, and Mr. Baron Channell held that
the conviction was good.
Eight judges being of opinion that the conviction was
right, and six only that there was a wig-trial, the convic-
tion was affirmed, and the sentence will be directed to
be carried into effect.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

The Fehrihry at the central
thin morning at the Sessions House,
Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayer, Sir G.
Carroll, the Recirder, Alderman Wire, Alderman and
Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, the Under Sheriffe,
and other civic authorities.

The calendar contains a list of 70 prisoners for trial,
with the exception of five cases of manslaughter and
two of murder, they were of the ordinary description.
A number of jurymen were fined 101. each for non-
attendance.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The RECORDER, in delivering his charge, said that
although the calendar was not heavy, he was sorry to
say that five of the cases extended to manslaughter, and
one to murder; in that case two men, named Jeremiah
Calligan and Patrick Murphy, were charged with the
wilful murder of Henry Morgan, a po!ice constable,
and it now appeared that the occurrence arose out of a
drunken row ; a person had given Calligan inter custody
for an assault, and a number of persons attempted a
rescue when he was in the custody of the deceased,
which resulted in his receiving a blow which terminated
in hie death. One of the questions will be, whether there
is sufficient to identify the prisoner Calligan as having
inflicted the blow ; if there was sufficient evidence,
no doubt the prisoner was guilty of murder, and
those who were identified as having taken part
in the rescue were equally liable. There appeared to
have been strong evidence of the identity, and if they
were of that opinion, it would be their duty to return
a true bill. The next case was one in which
James O'Neal, a tai'or, was charged with feloniously
assaulting John Richardson, with intent to murder
him. This case also arose out of a drunken
squabble, in which the prisoner seised a pair of tongs,
and struck the prosecutor several violent [lows. The
next case is a charge against Sarah Bennett, a married
woman, for feloniously killing and slaying Mary Bennett.
It appeared from the depositions, that the prisoner
had been quarreling with her husband, when
the deceased seemed to have interfered to protect her
mother, and re-ulted in her receiving a violent blow on
the head with a hammer, which caused her death. The
learned Recorder having briefly adverted to the other
cases which would come before the grand jury, in which
the master of Newington Workhouse was charged with
converting the bodies of paupers under his care for pinata
tnical purposes, said that some time since an act was
passed for affording facilities to medical students and
surgeons for the purposes of scientific anatomical pur-
poses, but the act required that they should be the bodies
of persons who had died, and who either had no friends
or were not identified. The defendant, had, it would,
he believed turn oat, made use of his office as master of
the workhouse, and used the bodies of persons who bad
relatives, and a sort of mock funeral took place,
which as followed by the relatives ; there was
he believed, no fxpross statue ; the ordinary cases in
the books were those where bodies had been disinterred,
which was an offence at common law. The principal
evidence was that of a person who was in the nature of
an accompice ; and if they thought the defendant had
used the bodies for gain and reward he would advise
the jury to return a true bill, and then the case would
be considered in that court. He did not think there
were any other cases requiring observation.
The jury then retired.

The trial of Mr. Glover, the isVe member for Beverley.
for making an alleged false declaration as to his qualifi
cation to sit in the House of Commons, is post} ()Jed til,
the next Feseions, with the consent of the Crown.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

BOW STREET.

A respectable-looking young man named Alfred
Weaver, was charged by his employers, Messrs. Holder
and Co., of Great Queen-street, coach ironmongers, with
having embezz!ed various sums of money.
Mr. Holder stated that the prisoner was their shop-
wan ate salary of 24, a-week. It was hie duty t', sell
goods and enter the monies in a day-book ; also to pay
various small sums and to account weekly for all that he
had received. Until lately he (the prosecutor) had no
suspicion that the prisoner was in the habit of sang
goods and omitting to enter them, but keeping back the
price. On Friday, the 22d inst., this suspicion was
aroused by a person bringing back to exchange a lamp
which he said he had purchased for Si. a few weeks
before. It was a very unusual circumstance for a
carriage lamp to be soid singly, and he was unable to
recollect such an entry, which he must have noticed if it
bad appeared in the book. To make sure, he examined
the book, and finding no such entry, spoke to the pri•
antler, who said he remembered the wale, but could not
account for the fact that the entry was omitted—he
thought he bad entered it. Oa further iuquiry ho found
that the fellow-lamp had been purchased by the Caine
person, iu Dec., for Ss. Gd., and had not been entered.
lie mentioned this to the prisoner, who made the same
reply—that he thought he had entered it. Oa this he
gave him into custody.
The case was aijourned for inquiry into other alleged
defalcations.

TERRIBLE OONPLAGRATION AND ENORMOUS

LOSS OF PROPERTY.

The most extensive conflagration that has occurred
during the present year, at the north-east end of London,
took place on Saturday night at a few minutes before
nine o'clock, on the premises belonging to Mr. G.Atli,ll,
the extensive timber merchant and veneer dealer, Eliza-
beth-street, Hackney-road, near the Victoria gate.
The premises were of considerable magnitude, and
comprised sundry buildings, amongst which were the
veneer rooms, containing some thousands of pounds'
worth of finely cut rosewood and mahogany, whilst the
open yard contained many hundred piles of deals and
other woods, each of which towered between 50 and 60
feet into the air.

Barton, the conductor of the Royal Society, imme-
diately got his engine to work, and numerous °then of
the London Brigade and of the West of England office
arrived one after each other in rapid succession, and a
good supply of the east London Company's water having
been procured, the whole of the e"gines were called into
operation ; but in spite of which the Raines continued
spread, and many piles of timber in a thorough state
of ignition kept toppling over, seizing hold of the
houses in the same street to the number of five, at the
same time the fire was rushing through the side windows
of the parsinage hou°e in St. Peter-street.
The Fcene at this time became fearful in the extreme,
for men, women, and children were to be seen runuing
about, the latter in their night clothes, an I the former in
a state-approximating to madness, but as mauyas thought
proper to possess themselves of the privilege were
kindly housed by Mr. Stearns, the proprietor of the
Cock and Castle, in the same street.
. .

The firemen, upon finding so many other houses on
fire, first dir3cted the full farce of water to fall upon
those buildings, and after considerable labour they .uc-
needed in getting tha flames subdued in the private
houses in Elizabeth-street, bat the timber in Mr. Athill's
yard continued to send up such tremendous sheets of
flame, and the wind being nearly south, drove the fire
through the side windows of the parsonage house in St.
Peter-street, the residence of the Rev. J. C. Packer.
The firemen, by mounting the roofs, cutting away, and
resorting to other expedients, managed by four o'clock
in the morning to get the fire extinguished, but not till
property of several thousands pounds in value was
destroyed.
