LAND.

Mr. ADDERLEY asked the tinder Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether the bill passed by the New Zea-
l/And Legish,ture for constitnting a native council differing,
in its relation to the colonial government, from the bill of
last session, bad received her Majesty's assent and confir-
mation?

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the question had
been left in the hands of Sir George Grey up
to the present time. He did not think it would be
advisable to discuss the subject until it had been considered
and reported upon by Sir George Grey.
THE VACANT SEATS.
Sir G. C. LEWIS announced that it was his intention
to introduce a bill next Thursday for the appropriation of
the four vacant Parliamentary seats.
THE GALWAY CONTRACT AND THE PAPER
London, England, 1861-06-01

ELLIS V. ELLIS-A RUNAWAY MATCH.

This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of
marriage on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adul-
tery, and there was no appearanco on the part of the respon-
dent.
Mr. Littler was counsel for the petitioner.

From the evidence it appeared that the petitioner eloped
from her father's, at Wimborne, in Dorsetshire, on the 25th
of December, 1851, and was married to the respondent on
the following day. After the marriage they went to reside
at Ringwood, in Hampshire, where the respondent
was in business as a wine merchant. They lived
together for five years, during which period the
petitioner gave birth to four children which are living.
About the spring of 1855 the acts of cruelty commenced,
and consisted of frightening her while she was enceinte,
which, on one occasion, produced a miscarriage, and on
another, premature labour. His conduct became so violent
that she was compelled to take refuge at her father's, and
afterwards applied for and received parochial assistance,
but they afterwards resumed cohabitation, and the respon-
dent repeated his misconduct, and one day he struck her
with an iron and cut her head. He was also in the habit of
threatening her life and taking a penknife with him.
Evidence of adultery was also given of respondent with a
female servant in the house where they were living.
Judgment deferred.

SHERIFFS' CO URT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
MODERN BILL DISCOUNTING.-ROBERTSON V. GREGERTY.
This was an action upon a bill of exchange.
Mr. Buchanan (for defendant) said his client was in the
hospital.
His Honour—That is no answer to a bill of exchange.
Mr. Buchanan—But it may be some inducement to your
honour to give him time. I should like to ask the drawer
of the bill a few questions.
Mr. Tucker was called, and said that two years ago he
lent defendant £lO, and charged him £1 10s. for the loan
for three months.
His Honour—Yes. Five per cent. per month. That is
60 per cent. per annum. That is very moderate, for we
have here sometimes cases of 200 and 300 per cent.
Mr. Buchanan—Now, Mr. Tucker, I believe you renewed
the bill ?
Witness—lt was dishonoured at maturity, I renewed it
for 30s.

Mr. Buchanan—And upon every renewal you have
charged him 30s ?
Witness—Yes.

Mr. Buchanan—Not £2 ?
Witness—No.
His Honour could not refuse judgment, and made the
usual order.
CAUTION TO SUITORS—IMPORTANT NOTICE.
JUSTINS V. HIBBORD.
This case had been adjourned to enable plaintiff to in-
spect defendant's books.
Mr. Laxton, for defendant, applied to have the case ad-
journed for 10 minutes, as the books were not in court.
Mr. Buchanan—The case was appointed for a special
hour.
His Honour—It may go down to the bottom of the list
if plaintiff agrees.
Mr. Buchanan—l cannot consent.
His Honour—Then it must be adjourned to a future day,
defendant paying plaintiff's costs of the day.
Adjourned accordingly.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AT EDIN-

BURGH.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning, at 1 o'clock, a tall
building, of seven stories, in High-street, Edin-
burgh, a district thickly populated by the working
classes, suddenly fell, burying nearly the whole of
the inmates in the ruins. The house was several
centuries old, and the timbers were decayed. The
whole gave way at once, collapsing inwards, and
leaving only a portion of the gables still standing.
22 bodies have been taken out dead, and about 12
injured. There were some extraordinary escapes.
Operations have been suspended during the night,
owing to the danger from the tottering gables, but
it is expected that several other bodies will be dis-
covered. The event has caused the utmost excite-
ment and consternation in the city.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The arrivals of home grown potatoes to these markets
since our last report have been moderately extensive. Ge-
nerally speaking, the demand has ruled steady, and prices
have been faiviy maintained. The show of foreign samples

THE ENGAGEMENT IN KENTUCKY.

The following is the telegram reporting a defeat
of the Confederates in Kentucky :

CINCINNATI, •Nov. 12.—General Nelson met the
rebels under General Williams, at Pikestown, Pike
county, Kentucky, on Friday last, and gained a
glorious victory. Colonel Luke Moore attacked
the rebels in the rear, with 3,800 men ; while Col.
Harris, of the 2d Ohio Regiment, with 600 men,
attacked them in the front, Colonel Harris falling
back, and Colonel Moore pressing forward, until the
enemy were brought into the midst of General
Nelson's brigade, when our forces pressed them on
all sides, killing 400 and taking 1,000 prisoners.
The balance scattered in all directions. The Federal
loss is small. The battle lasted Friday and Satur-
day. The victory was complete. Generals Williams
and Howes are among the prisoners.

burgh, and while there was tried for breaking his
rifle and smashing a window, for which offence he
was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Since
his release he has been a most desperate character.
Being on recruit drill, he had no ammunition of
his own when the murderous intention entered his
head, and that with which he accomplished his
design belonged to Private Munroe, who occupied
the next bed to Jackson in the barrack-room. It
is supposed that he must have loaded his rifle pre
vious to going into the canteen. For damages F. ad
sale of his kit be was £ll in debt to his captain.
Directly after the occurrence, Dr. Jee, the medical
officer of the regiment, was in attendance, and
despatched a messenger for Dr. Humfrey, the prin-
cipal medical officer, who quickly arrived, and
rendered in conjunction with the former gentle-
man, every assistance in his power.
It is a noticeable fact, that when the report of
the rifle was heard, a man who was standing out-
side the barracks was observed to make off; and
Jackson, after being arrested, said " There are to be
some more shot ; it is to be done on the 15th, or
before Christmas."
As may be imagined, the greatest excitement
with reference to the dreadful deed prevails among
the civilian population around, the more so on ac-
count of the motive which instigated the crime being
shrouded in mystery. It is, indeed, said that Ser-
geant Dixon was heard on one occasion to tell
Jackson that he was a nuisance to the Company ;
but this requires confirmation, and, supposing it to
be true, would not furnish anything like an adequate
motive for so fearful a crime.

THE ACTION AT GUYANDOTTE.

A telegram says :
CINCINNATI, Nov. 12.—The defeat of the Union
forces at Guyandotte was accomplished by trickery
on the part of the inhabitants. It seems that a
force of rebel cavalry, variously estimated at from
500 to 1,000 had concentrated in the country back
of the town. These proposed with the assistance of
the rebel inhabitants at Guyandotte, to annihilate
the Federal forcesin the town, This force consisted of
250 men of a Virginia regiment, and a few of Colonel
Ziegler's Virginia cavalry. It was arranged between
the rebel cavalry and the rebel citizens to mas-
sacre our troops in cold blood. Accordingly the
rebel citizens were very kind to our troops last
Sunday evening, and invited them to their houses
on various pretexts, and all who were off duty
accepted the invitation. While they were en-
tertained, at half-past eight o'clock at night the
rebel cavalry dashed into the town. Signals were
displayed from every house where our men were,
and into these the rebels rushed murdering the
unarmed soldiers in cold blood. The rebel citi-
zens, men, women, and children, rushed to arms
and aid©d the cavalry in the slaughter. The
,Federal troops in the camp prepared as soon as
possible for defence, but were overpowered and
had to break. Very few of our men were killed in
the engagement with the cavalry, nearly all being
murdered in the houses. When Colonel Ziegler
arrived, on learning the particulars of the affair, he
ordered the destruction of the town. The buildings
were immediately fired, and the whole town reduced
to ashes.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market was moderately good, and, on the whole,
in fair average condition.

The show of home-fed beasts was only moderate as to
number ; but we observed a decided improvement in their
general quality. For all breeds, the demand was in a slug-
gish state, and last week's prices were barely supported.
The top quotation for the best Scots was 5s per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,300 short horns, &c., ; from Norfolk,
60 Scots ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds;
from Scotland, 240 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland,
800 oxen and heifers.
Only a moderate supply of sheep was on offer, and their
condition was by no means
.first-rate. Downs and half-
breeds commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; but all
other breeds moved off slowly, at barely previous rates.
The top quo tation was 5s per 81bs.
We have to report a fair demand for calves, the supply
of which was limited, at Thursday's improvement in value.
The best calves realised 55 4d per 8 lbs.
Pigs came freely to hand, and the pork trade ruled steady,
at full prices.

the batteries of Port Royal entrance and glide into
the Broad River than they made for the mouth of
the inlets leading to Beaufort, Savannah, and
Charleston. These were immediately blockaded,
though not in time to prevent the escape of some
small rebel vessels.
" Not one Federal vessel was sunk, and only one
gunboat burned. The crew are said to have passed
through a murderous fire to another vessel with
little if any loss. The Union vessels acted under
special instructions in at onca blockading the inlets
leading to two important points.
" While a portion of the fleet did this, four ships
made for Beaufort, and at three o'clock on Thursday
these vessels were in sight of the town."
The Charleston Mercury of the Bth says :—" In
the promiscuous chase they seem to have driven
Commodore Tatnall's mosquito fleet up the creeks
leading to Savannah, and cut off water communica-
tion with Charleston by hermetically sealing Skull
Creek."

A despatch to the Charleston Mercury from
Henderviilc, 7th, 9 p.m. says :—" The practice of our
artillerists at Hilton's Head has been very bad,
hence the successful passing of seven of the enemy's
men-of war. The transports are still outside. The
loss on our side thus far is slight, and the troops are
in good heart. The firing of the Yankee war vessels
was very accurate. Hilton's Head and Bay Point
received the brunt of the attack. The enemy's ships
which passed our batteries can be distinctly seen
from Beaufort. Forts Walker and Beauregard
are still firing. The Federals lost one gunboat,
which was burned. Shells can be seen burst-
ing in the woods. Our lines of communication are
completely cut off unless more troops are sent here,
with artillery and cavalry. Four ships are in sight
over the land and up as far as Skull Creek. There
is reason to believe the enemy is making prepara-
tions to land a large force at Hilton to-night or to-
morrow."

CAIRO, Nov. 12.—The Memphis Appeal, of the
11th, contains the following despatch ;
" SAVANNAH, BTII, Via NEW ORLEANS, 9TH.—
The steamer Sampson has arrived from Port
Royal, with the wounded from the engagement of
yesterday. Fifteen vessels were inside and several
were waiting outside. The Minnesota was the first
to enter, and was followed by the others. The
attack upon the forts was from three sides. After
the second round from the fleet the principal guns
of the battery were dismounted. The engagement
lasted five hours, and during its continuance all
our guns were dismounted."
Despatches to the Charleston papers say that the
batteries were badly worked, and that the enemy's
firing was excellent. The rebel loss is 100.

Catholic Church, and assails CAVOUR and VICTOR
EMMANUEL as violators of the rights of Catholics
all over the world!

It is impossible to read such wretched poltroonery
without indignation. M. GulzoT professes to admire
Protestantism as the originator of popular freedom
in modern history—he professes to be a constitu-
tionalist, and to hold therefore that the people are
the source of power. And yet this heartless man
has not, that we can find, one word throughout his
book on the rights of the people of Legations, and
of Rome itself, to the choice of their own Govern-
ment and rulers. They must be victims of the
Roman Catholic religion. Their civil rights are
all to be confiscated to the fiction that the sacrifice is
a part of the liberties of Roman Catholicism all the
world over ! The POPE must be a civil Juggernaut,
and crush to death the civil rights of Italians, that
other Catholics may 1 hink their idol and themselves
free !!

We confess ourselves utterly ashamed of such
Protestantism. It is worthy, however, of the states•
man who gloried in the Spanish marriages. That
transaction justifies us in believing that our clever
author can write anything for a political purpose.
For no other reason could we conceive him capable
of penning such conclusions as we have just ad-
verted to. Probably not an individual in Earope
more distinctly sees through their utter baseless-
ness, or better knows that the long semi-philo-
sophical introduction is but the veil to their intrinsic
absurdity. What the political object is, seems very
plain on looking at the book as a whole—it is to
make a bid to Ultramontanists, and Legitimists too,
perhaps, on behalf of the Orleanists. It is pro-
claiming to all France that the expelled dynasty
would do as much, perhaps more, to keep the feet
of the POPE on the neck of the Romans as the
EMPEROR; that it would willingly keep the Italians
out of their capital, and maintain the ulcer of Papal
temporal power in its place. If the Orleans Princes
themselves have any share in the promulgation of
this shabby manifesto, they will assuredly sink in

the opinion of Europe. We need not, however,
suspect it to be more than the programme of the
astute Minister, who once before was over-astute,
and who will certainly by this book yet more dis-
gust all the liberalism of Europe.

A report will be found in another column of one
of the worst and most sad cases of joint-stock vil-
lainy ever announced to the London public. For ten
years past advertisements have incessantly appeared
in all qua' ters of the " Bank of Deposit and National
Assurance and Investment Association," with the
names of Mr. Peter Morrison as managing director,
and of various noblemen and others as constituting
the Board. The terms offered in these advertisements
furnished evidence of dishonesty or ignorance to
every practical person, and about two or three years
back the Times made the utmost effort consistent
with a regard to the law of libel to warn the victims
and bring the deception to a close. Such, however,
is the credulity of the humbler classes, and the re-
liance of adventurers on the legal powers always
available for purposes of malversation by those who
command large funds that the attempt proved vain,
and the concern was able to continue its career
until a few weeks back, when its stoppage was sud-
denly announced. Its affairs are now placed both
in the Winding-up Court and Bankruptcy Court
—a double proceeding, whioh seems calculated to
dissipate the small funds that remain, and a report
by Messrs Harding and Co., the professional ac-
countants called in, gives a history of its progress,
and developes an amount of deliberate, long-
continued, and heartless wickedness such as has
never been exceeded. The scheme has been car-
ried on for 17 years, and the aggregate amount
now owing to the multitude of people who have
'sought through its agency-

for themselves and their families is £302,697,
of which tho utmost that can be expected to be re-
covered is a BUM equal to 3s. in the pound. The
loss will fall on all parts of the kingdom, from
Aberdeen to Portsmouth, branch offices having been
established in numerous districts ; and a heavy im-
position would likewise apparently have been prac-
tised on a large body of French investors but for a
stipulation upon which they happily insisted, that
an amount to cover their claims should be placed in
French Rentes. In concluding their report the
accountants intimate that they refrain from com-
ment, as the conduct of the parties concerned must
doubtless form the subject of consideration 'els&
where. Notwithstanding this remark, however,
there will be every probability—unless, under the
Fraudulent Trustees Act, the ',machinery in such
cases has been greatly improved since the break-up
of the London and Eastern Bank Corporation—
that Mr. Peter Morrison and all his colleagues will
be subjected to little molestation. They have
already had ample time to make arrangements for

their future convenience and to secure an immunity
similar to that enjoyed by Colonel Waugh, Mr.
Stephens, and others of the fraternity.— Times' City

PORTUGAL.

The following proclamation was addressed by the
young King of Portugal to his people on ascending
the throne :

"Palace of Belem, Nov. 14.

" Portuguese—ln virtue of the impenetrable de-
crees of Divine Providence, and in conformity with
the political institutions of the kingdom, I have been
called to preside over the destinies of the nation.
The painful shock which I have felt, owing to the
immense loss wo have sustained, has overwhelmed
my heart. The country mourns the death of the
most just and enlightened of Sovereigns, and I shed
tears over the tomb of the most affectionate of
brothers. In the exercise of the difficult mission
confided to me, I will endeavour to fol-
low the noble examples left me by the
virtuous Monarch so prematurely removed-
from the love of his people. To observe faith-
fully the political institutions of my country is
equally concordant with my duties and my senti-
ments. In executing the constitutional charter of
the monarchy, I swear to maintain the Catholic,
Apostolic, and RomaL religions and the integrity of
the kingdom ; to observe and enforce the observance
of the political constitution of the Portuguese nation,
as well as the other laws of the kingdom, and to
secure, as far as in me lies, the general welfare of
the nation. This oath will soon be ratified by me
in the approaching assembly of the general Cortes
of the Portuguese nation. I have ordered that the
present Ministers and Secretaries of State shall
remain in the exercise of their respective func-
tions. " THE KING.'

THE ACTION AT GUYANDOTTE.

A telegram says :
CINCINNATI, Nov. 12.—The defeat of the Union
forces at Guyandotte was accomplished by trickery
on the part of the inhabitants. It seems that a
force of rebel cavalry, variously estimated at from
500 to 1,000 had concentrated in the country back
of the town. These proposed with the assistance of
the rebel inhabitants at Guyandotte, to annihilate
the Federal forcesin the town, This force consisted of
250 men of a Virginia regiment, and a few of Colonel
Ziegler's Virginia cavalry. It was arranged between
the rebel cavalry and the rebel citizens to mas-
sacre our troops in cold blood. Aoeordingly the
rebel citizens were very kind to our troops last
Sunday evening, and invited them to their houses
on various pretexts, and all who were off duty
accepted the invitation. While they were en-
tertained, at half-past eight o'clock at night the
rebel cavalry dashed into the town. Signals were
displayed from every house where our men were,
and into these the rebels rushed murdering the
unarmed soldiers in cold blood. The rebel citi-
zens, men, women, and children, rushed to arms
and aided the cavalry in the slaughter. The
Federal troops in the camp prepared as soon as
possible for defence, but were overpowered and
had to break. Very few of our men were killed in
the engagement with the cavalry, nearly all being
murdered in the houses. When Colonel Ziegler
arrived, on learning the particulars of the affair, he
ordered the destruction of the town. The buildings
were immediately fired, and the whole town reduced
to ashes.

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw, in the Precurseur d'Anvers
gives the following strange account of the death of
Gen. Gerstenzweig :—The General—partly from
obedience to orders, partly from natural severity of
disposition—had arrested a great many Poles, and
he placed them in the citadel. Shortly after fears
were entertained that an insurrection would break
out, and that consequently numerous prisoners in
the citadel would be an embarrassment. Accord-
ingly, the commander of the fortress, in conjunction
with Count Lambert, ordered several of them to be
released. On hearing of this Gen. Gerstenzweig
went in a state of great irritation to Count Lambert,
reproached him with having acted from fear, and
called him a coward. As several officers of the
staff were present, a duel seemed inevitable ; but as
a hostile meeting between two such high personages
at that moment might present grave inconveniences
it was decided that one of the two should kill him-
self the same evening, and that lots should be drawn
to decide which it should be. The lot fell on Gen.
Gerstenzweig, and he fired three times with pistols
at his head—the last time inflicting a mortal wound.
These incidents explain why Gen. Lambert shortly
after left suddenly for St. Petersburg.
