A SKIP ON FIRE AT SEA..

A passenger on board the bark l'lmperatrice
Eugenie, writes :—While the bark l'lmperatrico
Eugenie, Captain Airth commander, was proceeding
on her voyage from Port Natal, Cape of Good
Hope, to London, on the 21st inst., at midnight, in
lat. 49 18 N., long. 9 24 W., with light wind from
S.S.W., the officer of the watch perceived a peculiar
glare of light bearing S.S.E., which was surmised
to be a vessel on fire. Captain Airth, with a view
to render any assistance in his power, immediately
hauled up to the wind, and proceeded in the direc-
tion of the light. The surmise proved to be correct,
and about three o'clock a.m. he came abreast
of the burning ship, being about two miles
distant. A good look-out was kept both
below and aloft, a lantern being also hoisted
in the fore rigging, in addition to the usual
ship's lights, as a guide to any persons who might
be afloat in boats or on any portion of the wreck.
At this time the vessel had parted with all her masts
and rigging, and was one mass of fire from stem to
stern. We proceeded about five miles. Captain
A'.rth then tacked and approached the wreck within
less than a quarter of a mile. The ill-fated ship
presented a grand but fearful spectacle, rising and
failing with her head to the wind, with the swell
of the ocean, her stanchions and large portions
of unconsumed timber standing out in bold relief
against the glowing furnace within, she wail
now in places burnt to the waters edge,
and had the appearance of a vessel of large
size, but from the ravages made by the fire it would
be impossible to arrive at any correct conclusion
with regard to her actual tonnage. We here spoke
the bark Lady Cecilia, bound for Cork, which ves-
sel had approached close to the weather side of the
burning ship, and, like ourselves, had seen nothing
whatever to indicate that any human life existed
in the vicinity. Capt. Airth, finding that any
further search would bo fruitless, bore away, and
proceeded on his ♦oyage ; the wind freshened, and
in about two hours we lost sight of the wreck. The
night was beautifully moonlight and the water
smooth, and as the ship on fire was in the regu-
lar channel track, there can be but little doubt
that all those on board had been taken off by
some passing vessel. She had apparently been on
fire some 8 or 10 hours.

bridge and the Princess Mary arrived in town yesterday

,03IMANDER PEGRAM, CONFEDERATE NAVY--
Commander Pegram, of the Confederate war steamer Nash-
ville, was chief officer of the United States steamer Pow-
hattan in 1855, and rendered valuable service to the British.
fleet in the Chinese waters in capturing pirates. Sir John
Stirling, in his despatches to the Admiralty, makes the fol-
lowing mention of him :—" It is impossible to speak too
highly of the American co-operating party engaged. They
were with the Rattler, emulating each other in the thickest
of the attack. But my warmest thanks in particular aro
due to Lieutenant Pegram, the American senior officer; his
encouragement of the men, and coolness under a heavy fire,
and determined bravery, when surrounded bya persevering
and revengeful foe, was conspicuous to all."
Some more shippingdisasters have been announced
from the Baltic. Tho Hebe, screw steamer, of Hull, has
been wrecked ofl Gothland, the loss by the ship and cargo
being estimated at L 50,000. The Era, steamer, was stranded
on the Faro reef, but after throwing overboard part of her
cargo got into Gothenburg. The Deptford, screw steamer,
had also been stranded, and got off, but sunk after entering
Pillau harbour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

DECK V. SHERWOOD.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Dr. Beck a
physician, against the defendant, an extensive cheen-
monger, Ludgate-hill, to recover the sum of £24 155., beiag
the one-ninth proportion of the sum of £222 14s. 6d. whch
the plaintiff had been called upon to pay as one of the di-
rectors and promoters of a company formed in the par
1854, called the Australian General Investment Compaty,
and which company was not fully registered until the 11th
of July, 1855. In Dec., 1854, a Mr. Dean was appointed
solicitor for the company, and his bill up to and attending
the registration amounted to £222 14s. 6d., which he re-
covered against the company by action on the company
becoming defunct.

Mr. Dowdeswell said the defendant did not deny his
liability to contribute, but conten3ed that ho had laid
moneys on account of the company more than he was liable
to contribute. He was willing to refer the matter to the
Master.

Sergeant Shee said he was quite willing to consent to
such a course.

A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff for the full
amount, subject to a reference.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

THE WILL OF ISABELLA BANKS.-SIiETHURST V. TOMLINB.

Dr. Swabey, on the part of Dr. Smethurst, made an ap-
plication to the Court as to the mode in which the case was
to be heard. He was in favour of the proceedings taking
place before the Court without the assistance of a jury.
Mr. Merryweather, on the part of Messrs. Tomlins, said
he should wish the case to be taken before a special jury.
Tho Court thought the case ought to take place before a
special jury.—Ordered accordingly.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.)

SINGULAR ACTION UPON A DISHONOURED CHEQUE,
AND IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO FINING WITNESSES.

-WRITE V. LOW.

This was an action upon a dishonoured cheque for £9
odd. Mr. Dod for the plaintiff, said the circumstances in
this case were very peculiar. Plaintiff was a witness, and
defendant, who is a merchant, gave him a cheque for his
expences. The taxing master, however, disallowed the
amount, and then defendant stopped payment of the cheque
at his banker's. Mr. Dod further stated that he had sub-
pcenaed the defendant to prove the handwriting to the
cheque.

His Honour—Yon might have subpoenaed the bank olerk.
Mr. Dod—He thought it unnecessary to take a clerk
away from the bank, and if any one be troubled it had
better be defendant.

Defendant was then called upon his subpcena in the
usual form, but entered no appearance.
Mr. Dod—l shall now ask your honour to inflict the
usual fine,
His Honour—Have I the power ?

Mr. Dod—Yes. It is marked on the subpsena "under a
penalty of £lO, unless reasonable cause be assigned for the
absence of the witness."

His Honour then referred to the endorsement on the back
of the subpcena, and found that the subpcena was only
served yesterday, and that conduct money (7s. 6d.) was
given to the defendant,

11I.R, BRIGHT AND HIS WO.RKMEIV.

His Honour did not feel justified in inflicting a penalty,
as the subpccna was served at so short a notice ; but the
case would be adjourned, and if plaintiff gave defendant
notice, and then defendant did not attend, his honour would
have very little consideration about fining him.

Already Mr. Bright's commercial partners are
violently at issue with his coveted political allies.
While he strives to allure by flattery of themselves
and vituperation of all above them the leaders of the
trades unions to his political standard, his brothers
and associates in business are in collision with the
unionists in their own employment, and are busy in
proving to the satisfaction of the law the lawlessness
of those whose aid he earnestly solicits. Really the
member for Birmingham is most unfortunate in his
personal associations. His denunciations of bribery
are suddenly cut short by public exposure of the most
outrageous and unscrupulous bribery by the agents
of his brothers-in-law. Scarcely has that scandal
subsided—scarcely has he adopted a new line, and
invoked the cause of reform to put down injustice
and intimidation—the beneficent agency of the
trades unions—than his Parliamentary colleagues
repudiate the alliance, and his own brothers appear
before the Rochdale magistrates to prosecute for
intimidation the agents of the Carpet Weavers'
Trades Union. It is really very hard upon him.
If he persuade his partners to allow the unionists
to escape for the sake of conciliating the political
support of their confederates in other and more
important trades, he exposes himself to be accused
as a mere pretender to the championship of the
people ; as having from greed or temper sanctioned
a step. which has unjustly turned scores of indus-
trious labourers of of work. If, on the other hand,
ho comes forward by his partners to expose the
injustice of the weavers' demand, and to vindicate
his own character as a democrat, he is forced to hold
up to public condemnation the character of the very
associations wita whom ho but yesterday proposed
to establish in politics an offensive and defensive
alliance. We are glad, both for the sake of a respected
and well-deserving firm, who " did not choose their
brother," that he has consented or been compelled to
allow them to follow that course which least damages
his personal character and is most fatal to his
political purposes. The firm of which Mr. John
Bright is the best known member have
prosecuted, before the magistrates of Rochdale, four
of their carpet-weavers on the charge of annoying,
threatening, and trying to deter from werk an over-
looker in their employ. The culprits were defended
by Mr. Ernest Jones, the Chartist orator, martyr,
and quondam editor. They were found guilty ; and
two were sentenced to a fortnight, two to a month,
in prison. These are the men whom Mr. John
Bright calls to his aid in his crusade against the con-
stitution, and to whom he proposes to transfer the
preponderance of political power. It is a pity that
he did not take precautions to prevent the publication
of certain unpleasant facts which came out in evi-
dence. On the one hand, it was proved that his
mill had pumped out hot water on the assemblage
of his political friends who assailed its gates. On the
other side, it was sworn that the cowardly ruffians
employed by the Union had thrown tar from behind
a hedge over a little girl, the daughter of one of the
witnesses for the prosecution. The case wears an
ugly aspect for both parties to this demagogic
alliance.

It is due to the partners of Mr. John Bright, to
observe that the rights of the quarrel seem to be
exactly what we had previously supposed. They had
introduced new machinery, which would turn out
240 yards of carpet in the time and with the labour
previously required to produce 160 yards. The work-
men had no claim whatever to share in the profits
made by the investment of their employers' capital
in mechanical improvement. Accordingly Messrs.
Bright proposed to lower the rate of pay from
1 td. per yard to ld., leaving the earnings of the men
exactly the same as befoie for the same labour. Bat
there was a nominal reduction, of which the opera-
tives, it is asserted, had not had fair warning before-
hand. This is exactly what, from the mutual contra-
dictions of the parties, we supposed to be the case
when we first referred to this subject. It is
probable that the masters acted hastily and
discourteously; but it seams certain that the
men were from the first substantially in the
wrong. For their attempt to compel their com-
rades to cease work no excuse can be made. It was
simply and grossly criminal. But Mr. John Bright
is hardly entitled to complain of it. He knew what
trades unions were when he called upon them to
assist him in wresting power from the educated
classes to use it for their own ends. He knew
them, as he knows now, that their aims
were unjust to the capitalist classes, and
their method of action grossly cruel and op-
pressive towards the independent working man.
He knew that their intentions were incompatible
with that freedom of trade for which he has always
loudly clamoured, and with that commercial pros-
perity to which he has always been ready to sacri-
fice European liberty and national honour. But
he thought that the violence and recklessness of the
unionists might be made available for the further-
ance of disloyal and unpatriotic intrigues, and he
overlooked the certainty that these forces might be
as easily turned against himself as against his
country. The verdict of public opinion will unani-
mously pronounce that it serves him right."
A case has just occurred which shows the charac-
ter of the trades unions in a much more serious
light. An outrage has been attempted at Sheffield
of that kind for which Sheffield is notorious. Every-
where assault and battery, stoning of women, fling-
ing tar over children, breaking men's heads are the
regular weapons of the soi-disant champions of the
" rights of labour." In Ireland the same champions
were wont to shoot obnoxious landlords or farmers
from behind a hedge. But the crimes which
have given Sheffield its pre-eminence in infamy
are worse than even the " agrarian" atro-
cities of Tipperary. The assassins there em-
ployed by the unions prefer such wholesale
murders as that of the Rue Lepelletier. They
chance the murder of half-a-dozen unoffending
women and children to secure the unpunished as-
sassination of one hated workman. Bottles filled
with explosive materials—a rude specie of bomb-
shell—are flung through the windows of the house
which shelters the object of vengeance. The last
of these exploded in the hands of a woman—the
wife of the intended victim. She has, perhaps,
already died—certainly she is likely to die—in
horrible agony. Her husband has for the present
escaped the dastardly vengeance of his enemies,
to suffer a still worse fate in the knowledge
that the horrible death intended for him has
fallen on his young wife: to live in terrible ex-
pectation till the cowards venture on a more suc-
cessful scheme of murder. If the working men of
Sheffield would not have England believe that they
are without exception the worst, most dastardly,
and most malignant creatures that disgrace the
form of men and the name of Englishmen, we trust
that they will at once break through the tyranny of
the union, and dare to give up the delegates who
hired the murderer, as well as the wretched coward
himself, to the far too lenient judgment of the law.
Both the actual perpetrator of this truly devilish
crime, and his still more wicked and dastardly in-
stigators, are and must be known to them. Mean-
time, we leave it to Mr. Bright's own class to pro-
nounce judgment on the politician who for his
selfish ends would raise the authors of the system,
of which such outrages are the fruit, into a position
of political influence. What must the object be
whereof these men are to be the instruments ?
Morning Herald.

THE CLEARANCE OF THE DEBTORS PRISONS.—
The Registrars of the Court of Bankruptcy have finished
their labours for the present at the metropolitan prisons.
From Whitecross-street Prison 33 have been released by
the Registrars, and about 24 from Horsemonger-lane Gaol,
and some from the Queen's Prison. Yesterday there were
only 105 in Whitecross• street Prison, of which 90 were
" sheriffs;" and in H_orsemonger-lane Gaol, only 18 ; and
of that number 6 were cou ,ty court commitments. The
next return of the keepers, on the Ist Dec., will show the
state of the prisons contrasted with the first return. Cre-
ditors wish to know how the parties are to be re-committed
after leaving. One of the benefits of the new law is that
persons can get themselves " friendly" arrested, and, by de-
claring themselves " paupers," be relieved from all fees,
even the gaoler's fee, and for a small amount to an attor-
ney be declared bankrupt, and for another small sum have
his case completed. The present object is to make a
"clearance of the prisons," and to consider the creditors on
the hearing.

DREADFUL DEATH.—On Thursday Mr. E. Taylor
held an inquest at the Royal Forester Inn, Stanley, Wake-
field, on the body of George Armitage, a colliery engine •
wright. The deceased had been for some time suffering
from mental depression, believing that he was going to lose
his work, &c., and on Wednesday he went, in the usual
course of his duty to a pumping engine in Auchthorpe-lane,
belonging to his employers, Messrs. Hudson ani Co., with
the intent to mend a " crank-pin." Whether or not be
tried to mend the pin is not knosln, for ho never told the
engineer to stop the engine, as was his custom ; but next
morning his body was found at the bottom of the " crank-
hole," where evidently he had been crushed to death- The
jury considered there was no evidence to show whether he
had got into the hole intentionally or accidentally, and so
returned an open verdict.—Leeds Mercury.

THE CATTLE TRL DE.—MALTON, Nov, 23.---
Horned cattle for farm-yard purposes have been in short
supply to-day, and business passing slight, a further small
decline in value being apparent, particularly in Irish beasts,
which are fully 10s per head below the values of last month.
Turniping sheep are still in demand, and although some-
what easier to bay have not participated so greatly in the
fall as other lean stock. The fat market is much easier ;
good beasts sell at 6s 6d to 7s per stone estimate, and sheep
61d to 7d per lb. Very prime beef for Christmas is worth
8a per stone. Dairy cows in great request at very high
rates, prices ranging from £lB to £3O, as per quality and
promise. The pig-market very firm, especially for farm-
yard purposes ;• pork pigs, 78 6d per stone.

LITERATURE.

The Valley of a Hundred Fires. Hurst and
Blackett's Standard Library.

We are glad to see this charming story re-appear
in so convenient and attractive a form. Messrs.
Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library is selected
from the best works of history, fiction, and general
literature published by them, and the high character
and variety of the series has maintained its popu-
larity. The present volume can scarcely fail to
delight the subscribers. It is a record of domestic
life among the wild Welsh hills ; the history of a
family and a neighbourhood told in that easy,
genial style peculiar to the authoress of " Margaret
and her Bridesmaids." Emily Leslie, the heroine,
is a charming character. We are introduced to her
as a young wife and mother taking her journey
into -Wales with her husband, who has just been
appointed to a moderate living in the Valley of a
Hundred Fires. Her sweet temper, loving heart,
and unfailing readiness of hand:soon turn the deso-
late house into a domestic paradise, defying the
smoke and dust, and making even the "cinder tip"
endurable. She is afterwards the happy mother of
a large family, whom she brings up to be worthy
of their parents, and though sickness and trouble
chequer the smooth course of their lives, Emily
never fails. When death snatches away their chief
treasure, resignation takes the place of con-
tentment ; when envy and uncharitableness
lift their voices she refuses to hear them. Her
husband, John Leslie, is also excellent in his way,
and his grave sense and sincere goodness render
him a worthy companion to his admirable wife.
The family of the Robartses are a strong contrast
to the Leslies, and we are shown how the different
training and different spirit of their homes led to
very opposite results. There are many other cha-
racters introduced, though none can rival Mrs.
Leslie in the reader's regard. The varying dispo-
sitions and qualities of her numerous family are
aptly described, and a degree of individuality
preserved, which is somewhat difficult among ten
daughters! The story appropriately closes with
the celebration of the Leslies' golden wedding day,
when their children's children gather round them
and " rise up and call them blessed."

" John and Emily were so essentially the same John and
Emily who mounted the Bristol coach 48 years ago to
make a settlement in Wales, that it is needless to describe
them again. They had grown old in appearance, and, to
keep his head warm, John wore a wig, made of snow-white
hair, which, truth to say, was not always put ou straight ;
while Emily was the prettiest old woman ever seen—a close
full cap surrounding her pretty old face, beaming yet with
the spirit of as youthful a heart and buoyant a spirit as
when first introduced to the reader. The world had pro-
gressed amazingly fast, especially of late years, and their
children and grandchildren wcre swimming with the tide,
no whit behind anyone, yet when they came within the
charmed circle of our hero and heroine, they left their
worldlinesses, their luxuries, their daintinesses at the
garden gate. Life-Guardsmen, Crimean and Indian war-
riors, Arctic heroes, with courtly young damsels, and
graceful little queens of fashion and beauty, thronged round
grandpapa and grand mamma, with an affection and admira-
tion called forth by the genuine truth and beauty of their
characters. Had their feelings been analysed, it is probable
they regarded them as the dilettante regards antique gems.
Or, it might be that the boundless wealth of affection
possessed by Emily had diffused itself in all its purity
through her descendants; while the fine heart, true faith,
and good sense possessed by John had imparted the taste
to value such affections as the best gift God bestows on
man."

On Food : beirg Lectures delivered at the South
Kensington Museum, by E. Lankester, M.D.,
F.R.S. Hardwicke, Piccadilly.

These admirable lectures, IN hiCh present so much
condensed information in so clear and available a
form, are now collected in one volume of a conveni-
ent size and moderate price. The substance of them
formed part of the author's course on MLterica Aledica
and Therapeutics at St. George's School of Medicine,
and a course on the vegetable kingdom at the Royal
institution. Subsequently, on Dr. Lankester's ap
pointment to the scientific superintendence of the
food collection at the South Kensington Museum,
he obtained the permission of the Committee of
Council on Education to deliver lectures, in order
to convey some instruction to the public respecting
the department uncle r his charge. The great success of
theselectures has already made them widely known;
but those who have heard them will probably be
very ready to add them to their libraries for future
reference, while those who have not been so fortu-
nate should not fail to take advantage of this
opportunity of so pleasantly extending the area of
their scientific knowledge. There are two courses
of lectures in this volume, each course containing
six. Only one series has as yet been delivered at the
Museum, the others being written out from the
author's notes, The first six are—On Water, on
Salt, on Heat-giving Foods, on Oil, Butter, and
Fat, on Flesh-forming Food, and on Animal Food.
The other course contains lectures—On Alcohol,
on Wines, Spirits, and Beer, on Condiments and
Spices, on Tea, on Coffee and Chocolate, and on
Tobacco. It will be perceived that the subjects of
the two courses are of distinct characters ; the one
being, as Dr. Lankester observes, necessary to our
daily life, the other auxiliary to its maintenance.
The simplicity of the language and the clearness of
the style render the work intelligible and interest-
ing to the least scientific reader, and we may con-
fidently join in the hope expressed by their talented
author, that they may contribute " to advance the
study of those laws by which life and health are
secured, and without a knowledge of which man can
never. realise the highest objects of his existence."

Song Birds and how to Keep Mon. By E. A.
INlaling, author of " Indoor Plants, and How to
Grow Them," &c. Smith, Elder, and Co.
The keeping of pet birds is such it favourite
amusement with all ages, that directions as to how
their health, comfort, and powers of song can be
best maintained are by no means unnecessary. The
writer of this little work has already given us a
very useful manual of instructions regarding the
care of indoor plants, and having devoted much
time and attention to her feathered favourites,
she has wisely published this companion volume,
which will be found of great service to all wh.) keep
birds. An intimate acquaintance with the habits,
requirements, and likings of the tribes of air has
qualified her to speak with confidence and authcrity
as to their wants and wishes. The directions are
all of a very practical nature, and we commend, this
treatise to all who are interested in the welfare of
these little songsters.
