CONVICTION FOR MURDER.—At the High Court of
Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday, Peter M'Lean,
Christina Peters or M`Lean, and Wm. Mansfield, were
charged with " murder, as also assault, committed by
stabbing and cutting, in so far as, on the 15th or 16th of
Nov, last, on or near the public road leading from Bath-
gate to East Whitburn, Linlithgowshire, at ot near Bog
head bridge, they attacked and assaulted the now de-
ceased Thomas Maxwell, a miner, residing at Durham-
town, near Bathgate, and did knock or throw
him down on the ground, kicked him, and struck
with a knife or other instrument stabbed or cut bim on
the chest and neck and other parts of his person, by all
of which he was mortally ii.jured, and immediately, or
soon thereafter died ; and also, time and place above
libelled, they did assault John Maxwell, miner, striking
him with a stone on the head or face, and throwing him
down and stabbing him with a knife on the leg,
and otherwise maltreating and abusing him by all
of which he wag cut aid wounded, to the effusion of
blood and the serious injury of his Person." The pri-
soners pleaded "Not Guilty ;" but the jury, after a
lengthened absence, returned a verdict, by a majority,
of guilty of murder and assault against Peter M'Lean,
but recommended him to the merciful consideration of
the Crown ; net guilty against Christina M'Lean; and
guilty of assault against Mansfield. The Lord Justice
Clerk then sentenced Peter M'Lean to be executed on
Monday, the 2,1 of February next, at Linlithgow, and
adjured him to banish from his mind any hope that his
life would be prolonged. The prisoner M'Lean exhibited
violent emotion on receiving sentence. 'Mansfield was
sentenced by the Court to two years' imprisonment, and
Christina M'Lean was dismissed from the bar.

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the Sth, says :—" You
will no doubt have been apprised already of the
frightful accident which has destroyed one of his
Majesty's steam-frigates, the Carlo 111. The
vessel sank with some 100 souls on board, of whom
not more than half were saved, and they are all
maimed for life. The captain and officers of the
Malacca, the English steam-frigate lying in this
port, rescued most of those that were saved, as no
Neapolitan boatmen would dare approach the
scene of danger on account of the police regula-
tions. The King sent the same night his best
thanks to Capt. Farquhar, for his prompt and ener-
getic succour to the unfortunate drowning men.
Of course this misfortune is said to be a complot
to prevent powder and guns from reaching Sicily.
H.M. is greatly incensed at all these late afflictions,
, but although the palace, which he and his family
have never quitted these three weeks, has suffered
most in shattered windows and broken doors, '
H. M. has only this day resolved to go to Caserta
for the winter season ; thus showing his confidence
iu the reports that accident only caused them, and
not treachery. No advantage to any cause could
be gained by blowing up a vessel situated beyond
the Lantern or lighthouse, and the sailors could
not have devised to drown themselves to please
any party. The captain was found among the
dead, minus his head and arms. In short the
scene was heartrending, and as many of the men
were in their berths sleeping at that hour there is
doubtless still a most harrowing scene to be wit-
nessed when the ship Carlo 111. shall be raised
from the sea. It is a fact that great terror occupies
the minds of the people here, particularly of those
who do not know that there is not sufficient pow-
der left in the magazines to endanger their lives.
The court ball to which were invited all the Eng-
lish here of every rank and station has been coun-
termanded, and notice given of its not taking place
for the present."
London, England, 1857-01-14

SWITZERLAND.

The following address has been circulated among
the Swiss soldiers in the service of the King of
Naples and the Pope. It is printed in three lan-
guages, on the same pages, in parallel columns—
Italian, German, and French. It is headed " Ita-
lian National Party—lndependence and Unifica-
tion," and bears date "Italy, the 10th January."
It is as follows :

" Swiss,—Your country is in danger, and you, in-
stead of defending its liberty, defend the tyranny of the
Bourbon of Naples and the Pope.
" The Prussians are already putting themselves in
motion to invade your country, and you remain at
Naples and Rome to aid those who oppress ours. In
Switzerland you would be soldiers covered with glory
here you are dishonoured Soirri, and while you might
use your arms for the defence of that independence
which your fathers have purchased at the price of their
blood, you empir.l them to uphold slavery. Shall the
SODS of William Tell be the assassins in the pay of
Ferdinand 11. and of Cardinal Antonelli ?
" Many Italians have already offered their services to
your country. Say, while they are combating for Swit-
zerland, have you the courage to combat against Italy ?
" Hasten where your country calls you. There is
glory ; here is infamy. There is the blessing Eof your
parents, of your wives, and of all free men ; here is the
malediction of the women and children of Italy, whom
you shall render widows and orphans—the malediction
of tde whole civilised world.

" Choose now between the glorious laurels of Sem-
pach. of Granson, of Morgarten, of Morat, and the
infamous laurels of Naples and Messina. Return to
your valleys, to your mountains, and you shall be
accompanied by our prayers, and the blessing of the
God of Battle, who is the God of the soldiers of liberty,
and not the God of the satellites of tyrants."

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL—JAN. 13.
There was bnt a limited attendance of the town and.
country trade to-day, and only a moderate demand we'
at first experienced for wheat—however, towards the close
some speculative operators cleared off the most pressing
parcels and strengthened the market, which closed at show', Friday's rates, or 2d per 701bs lower than on this dal
week. Flour mat with a very slow sale, and may be quote°.
6,1 per barrel and sack down on the week. Oats and oat'
meal only in limited request, and barely maintained their
value. Barley, beans, and peas neglected, and again the
turn lower. Indian corn continues out of favour with
speculators, and, with few orders from Ireland, the value
has declined 6d per qr. on the week, mixed being obtain'
able at 33s 9d, yellow at 34s to 34s 6d, and white at 350 W
36s per qr.
London, England, 1857-01-14

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, J. 13.
The marketis exceedingly flat to-day. The reaction in
the cotton market is inducing buyers to hold back, in the
expectation that goods will be cneaper, and in addition
to this commercial advices from India and the news from
China are exercising an unfavourable influence. Some
-kinds of longcloths, T cloths, and printers are in fair de-
mand at full rates, but for most other kinds of cloths,
where any business is doing, prices are rather easier. The
sameinfluences have prevailed in the yarn-market, which
has been inanimate throughout the day, with rather
easier rates.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report on the cloth mar-
ket :
" Owing to the change which has come over the cot-
ton market within the last few days, and to the unfa-
vourable accounts by telegraph from India and China,
buyers have shown even less disposition to operate than
they have done since the late advance, and we have to
report a very dull, inanimate market. As regards prices
we make no change in our quotations ; but with the ex•
ception of certain qualities of T-cloths, longcloths, and
printers, for which there is a moderate demand, the ten-
dency is in favour of buyers, and, were offers made for
sufficient quantities, no doubt a slight concession would
be made from the rates of Tuesday last."

LEEDS, J. 13.
A good active demand has been experienced in the
cloth balls this morning, and there have also been some
tolerably large deliveries of cloth direct from the manu-
facturers to the merchants. The tone of the woollen
trade in the town and district continues healthy, with
prices very firm.

The report of the Ruddersfield woollen market to-day
is as follows :—" Many buyers in market, but purchases
marked with considerable caution, in anticipation of a
change in priceg. Shepherds' plaids, mixtures, and the
cheaper fancies find the readiest sales. Low goods are
i
soon bought up. Wool s still slighty going up."

STAMP DUTY ON DEEDS.—The amount realised by
the stamp duty en deeds, and other instruments, in the
year ended March, was 1,225,2341.
London, England, 1857-01-14

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the supply of English wheat in to-day's mar•
ket was very moderate, we experienced a slow sale for all
kinds. In prices, however, compared with Monday, no
change took place.
Over 7,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand
this week. Fine dry samples sold at full quotations, but
secondary kinds were very dull.
Floating cargoes were in fair demand.
We had a steady demand for barley, and prices were well
supported.
Malt sold steadily, at full quotations.
There was a moderate inquiry for oats, at fully late
rates.
Beans, peas, and flour wero quite as dear as on Monday.

treated the King, and even his Queen, with uniform
affection, and had even consented to regard the most
arbitrary acts of the monarch as thoroughly well-inten-
tioned, but it was clear that he was laughing at his fa.
vourite George through nearly the whole of the dis-
course. The picture of utter bereavement which termi-
nated the whole gave to the hitherto comical figure the
tragic dignity of a Lear or an CElipus, and Mr. Tackeray
bowed to his audience amid wondering applause.

PEDESTRIANisir.

MATCH BETWEEN JOHN HoTINE AND PHILIP Cox-
FORD (Or KINGSLAND.)—The match between these
pedestrians, for a walk of seven miles, took place, in
pursuance of articles, on Tuesday, on Mr. Sadler's en-
closed ground, Garratt-lane, Wandsworth ; but did not,
vie are sorry to state, end in a manner at all satisfactoiy
to those who are the patrons of the sport. Coxford, it
will be borne in mind, first came into public notice in
a match of four miles, with the smart pedestrian,
Young Jenne, when the easy style in which he won
this event, walking, with the start allowed, completely
away from his opponent, filled his friends with high
expectations as to his future performances ; though we
much question whether his admirers have not committed
the error of ranking the ability of their man at too high
a standard. Report spoke of him with a confidence
that was calculated to awaken interest. He had while
training accomplished some "trials" in what was con-
sidered extraordinary time ; and certainly it was thought
that the " wise men of the East," whose luck, on the
whole, has been sadly out of late, were about to bring
out a phenomenon. These expectations were not, how-
ever, to be realised, for enough was witnessed to convince
any one present who was able to judge of such matters
that Coxford is never destined to stand forth as a rival
to some first-rate men we could ment►on. Hotine, who
was selected to compete wiz h the Kingsland champion,
is well known, having contended with varying success
in many matches of importance ; but, on the whole, has
not won the reputation of being a fair heel-and-toe
walker. The betting on the result was heavy, Coxford
finally becoming the favourite, at 6 to 4, these odds being
readily taken.
The pedestrians came on the ground shortly after three
o'clock, when the umpires and referee having been ap-
pointed, they at once took up their positions. The
signal being given, they went off at a most extraordinary
pace, the lead being just a trifle in favour of Coxford,
who, by the bye, is a much smaller man than his oppo-
nent. Coxford in commencing the match did se at a
perfect trot, and this example was followed by Hotine,
and then without anything in the shape of disguise
about the matter, they kept trotting one against the
other, for two laps, when the referee, acting, we believe
upon the strict letter of articles, at once vacated office,
and thus put a stop to the proceedings, before even the
first mile of the distance bad been accomplished. Some
doubted the power of the referee to rightfully vacate
office before calling upon the competitors to turn, which
is the usual course taken in such cases. All bets made
on the ground were returned ; and unless the pedestrians
agree to walk again on some future day, they must each
receive back their portion of the stakes. Thus, for the
present, terminated the much-talked-of-match between
these men.
London, England, 1857-01-14

FIRE.

Insurances at the usual rates, and profits returned on policies taken

THE COLONIAL BANK.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING_(Tgis DAY).
The usual half-yearly meeting of the court of directors
of this corporation, in compliance with the provision":
the charter, was held to-day at the London Tavern. f
CHAS. MARRYATT, Esq., occupied the chair.
The usual routine business having been disposed of,
The SECRETARY (Mr. Calvert), in compliance with the
request of the chairman, read the half-yearly report of
the directors, from which it appeared that the net profit
for the half-year was 25,9671., from which the
directors recommended a dividend of 24 per cent.
for the half-year, or 5 per cent. per annum, which
would require 12,5001., and leave 13,467/. to go towards
the fund for meeting bad debts, which now amounted
181,5471. The accounts of the business for the half-
Year were very encouraging, and the prospects of the
current half-year were equally so.
The CHAIRMAN briefly moved a resolution adopting
tive report, which was put to the meeting and carried

unanimously.
Charles Cave, Esq., William Davidson, Esq., James
Pletcher, Esq., Alexander Stewart, Esq., and Henry
Enloe, Esq., the directors retiring by rotation, were
unanimously re-elected.
Alexander M'Gregor, Esq., the retiring auditor, was

ANOTHER WRECK ON THE GOODWIN

The chief cause of failure on the late occasion
was the impossibility of conveying troops to the
scene of action in the Crimea. The comprehen-
sive scheme of railways, intended to be con-
structed at the expense of France and England,
was calculated to remedy this defect. It would
be doubly useful to " cripple the enemy," by ex-

MARLBOROUGII-STREEr.

AN IRISH Row.—Daniel Hearn, a wiz n-f.,‘ced old
Irishman, was eharged before Mr. B'ngbazu with violently
assaulting William Leonard by treakiLg his head with
a shovel.
The prosecutor, whose head was co'rer'd with adhe
sive plaister, stated that on Saturday night, about 12
o'clock, he was pacing the prisoner's door in Ne-v
Compton-street, when, seeing him airing hirwelf agaiust
the door-post, be went up to him and asked bins the rea-
son he had been speaking about hie (prosecutor't) wife.
Prisoner made no reply, but dealt him a [low in the
face. Prisoner retaliated by " punching" loin in the
eye and knocked, him down. As saw] as prisoner r -
covered himself, he seized held of a shovel, with which
he struck complainant several blows on the head, which
was very mach cut, and from the wounds the bbod
flowed in torrents, so that he became insensible, and
when he recovered he found himself in the hospital, with
the surgeon dressing his wounds.
Mitchell, 6 F, said, at 12 o'clock on Saturday night
he was in New Compton-street and saw the prosecutor
kicking at prisoner's door, which was shut. Lie asked
prosecutor what was the matter, when he rvlied that
that he wanted to have his revenge upon old Reamas.
Witness told him he had better go home and call again
in the morning. Prosecutor said he would not go with-
out his revenge, and while witness was trying to get
him away the, prisoner came behind him and struck
the complainant over the head with a shovel. Prose-
cutor bled very much and was taken to the hospital.
In answer to the charge, the defendant said the pro-
secutor, who was a very stout man, struck him first,
and knocked him down. As he was incapable of Arty-
. jpg cif 11, ourh x man in a. trial of fi.ta, Lna.z...3, the shovel
in self-defence.
A witness proved that the prosecutor was the aggres-
sor in the first instance, and struck the little old man at
the bar several times before the latter returned a blow.
Mr. Bingham was of opinion that the sturdy prose-
cutor bad brought the inj cries on himself by his violence
to the dl man, the defendant. Under these circum-
stances he should di miss the charge.
Defendant thanked his worship, and left the court,
exclaiming, " Pace was all he wanted, and pace he
would have."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 26.

- MANSION-HOUSE. —Sin R. W. GARDEN AN])
THE MAYORALTY.—On Saturday, Mr. Humphreys,
the solicitor, applied for a summons against a person
of the -Ualll4 of Thomas Rose, at the instance of
Alderman Sir R. W. Carden. Sir R. W. Carden,
as your lordship is aware, is the next in rotation for
the office of lord mayor of this great city, and an
attempt has been made to extort from him money
for the purpose of bringing voters to vote for him,
first, of course, to hold up their hands for him in
the Guildhall of this city.
The Lord Mayor—This is a very similar case to
one in which the Bank of London recently pro-
ceeded against two persons. I have read the
clause in the act,. and I feel that if what you state
is correct, I can have no difficulty in granting a
summery.

Mr. Humphreys—lf these things are allowed to
go on I am afraid, my Lord Mayor, that corrup-
tion will be the only thing known in the City of
London.

The Lord Mayor—lt is understood that this is
not an electioneering matter. You really come
seriously to ask me for a summons, with a distinct
understanding that you will have witnesses to prove
what you have stated.
Mr. Humphreys—l am so told by Sir R. W.
Carden.

The Lord Mayor—l do not like the Mansion-
house justice-room to be made the place for settling
electioneering schemes, but if such proceedings as
you have mentioned go on they must be stopped.
Mr. Humphreys—l assure you that you have not
a greater enemy to these electioneering schemes
than the person who uow addresses you. I would
not make an application for a summons, or any-
thing else, unless I was determined to carry it out
to the eud.

The Lord Mayor—Upon that assurance I will
grant the summons. I think it better not to have
it heard till the election is over.

Mr. Humphreys—lf your lordship pleases.
The Lord Mayor—Do you think it is a matter
that presses ? _ _ _

M. Humphreys—Oh, no, I do not think it
presses.

The summons was issued, and the case will be
heard on Friday next.
THE CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST MR. JEFFREE
AND LORD CLINTON. —Mr. Alfred Jeffree and Lord
Charles Pelham Pelham Clinton again appeared
before the Lord Mayor in discharge of their recog-
nisances, in answer to a summons which had been
obtained at the instance of Mr. Francis William
Stockwell, a mining and sharebroker, 75, Old
Broad-street, and which charged them with having
conspired and combined to cheat and defraud the
complainant of the sum of 5001.

Alter the examination of a number of witnesses
the summons was dismissed. Bosh Lord Clinton
arid Mr. Jeffree announced their intention of pro-
ceeding against Mr. Stockwell.
