grasp, and shouted to his companions, " Come on,
come on ; never mind that old fool. Take hold of
the' net; we must hAve it. Thld fast. Get hold of
the rape ! D—n you Robson, keep of► with that knife;
we want no ripping here." At this juncture in
splashed a number more of the watchers, and John
de Penrith, brushing into the deepest of the fray,
waved a cudgel, the insignia of his oill3e, and
shouted, while the stones were flying like hail,
" Seize, man, seize ! Cut and seize under the Solway
Act !" and John, suiting the action to the word, got
hold of the net, and shouted " A knife, a knife !"
In the meantime Jackson Mounsey and old John
Robson were struggling in the turbid river like two
ferocious alligators. Now Jackson downed his anta-
gonist, and'anon he rose again like a game old cock ;
then again a splash was heard like the falling of Round
Do wn Cliff, as poor old John was tumbled over Jackson's
buttock into the lamb; and the ladies on the shore,
in accents almost inaudible, sighed "Poor old man—
oh dear, oh dear !" and the tender hearts of the chil
dren yearned, and they clung to their parents with
tears in their eyes, crying, " Poor old John, is be
dead, papa ? Mamma, is old John drowned ? We
shall g 4 no more fish, shall we, mamma ? Oh dear,
are these men savages ?" Then a sound like thunder
again awaked the voice of echo in the Caves of Isis
Perlis, and that voice cried, as in a paroxysm of
fury, "D—n you, you great black elephant, you
are a d—d coward ; let the old man get up !" and
John de Penrith stuck to the net, shouting
" Knives, gentlemen! Cut and seize ! Slash away
the net, under the Solway Act!" and the voice of echo
was supposed to whisper from the den of Isis Perlis,
" D—n it, Brougham, lets go in. No, no, Douro,
that won't do." At this moment in sprang two or
three more of the watchers with knives in their hands.
The net was immediately cut, and about eight yards
of it carried to the Cumberland side of the water; and
the man who held it lifted his hands; swang it and
shouted, "This will be a lesson for the great cosmo-
polite. But old John Robson followed the captured
portion of the net to the opposite shore ; and when he
found that a recapture was impossible, he threw up
his hat, and challenged the best man amongst them
to single combat. " Bravo," reverberated the caves
of. Isis Purlis ; and here, for the present, the curtain
drops.

A YANKEE COURT OF JUSTICE.

Yesterday the room of the Third District Court
was the scene of a very bloody affray between three
of our citizens. Dr. Dupes and Mr. D. Veau have
been partners in a 32ii, mill in the third municipality,
and having lately dissolved partnership, some legal
proceedings have token place between them. Dr.
Dupes, in settling the accounts of the partnership,
was assisted by Mr. Severe Wiltz, alderman of the
third municipality. Yesterday the parties met in
the Third District Court, to try a rule arising
from these legal disputes. The rule had been
trier', and Judge Strawbridge had left his seat
and the room, when an altercation arose be-
tween Dr. Pupas and Mr. Veau, the former charg-
ing the latter with not accounting for money he had
collected, and the latter pronouncing it a falsehood
and a calumny. Mr. Wiltz, seeing the dispute was
approaching a serious issue, interfered, and stood be-
tween the parties, when Veau addressed to him some
very abusive language, calling him a liar and a ca•
lumniator, with reference to Mr. Wiltz's endorsement
of Dr. Dupas's charges. Thereupon Mr. Wiltz, who
is a gentleman of powerful frame, struck Veau, knock-
ing him down on his knees. Before he rose, Mr.
Veau drew a dirk and stabbed Wiltz in the breast.
Willa turned to leap over the railing separating the
clerk's stand from the portion of the court-ro)m
allotted to the bar, and as he did so, Veau gave
him another severe cut in the thigh, but at the same
time fell himself suddenly on the floor, as if he were
dead. It appeared, afterwards, that he had been
stabbed in the back by Dr. Dupes, who avowed the
act as one done in defence of his friend. The knife,
which was a very sharp one, struck the spinal column,
and immediately paralyzed his lower limbs. In the
meantime, Mr. Wiltz had leaped into the judge's
stand and drew a pistol, when he cried out, " Gentle-
men, lam badly hurt," and fell in the stand. The
gentlemen were, then taken up by their friends, and
physicians sent for. In a little while they ar-
rived and examined their wounds. Mr. Wiltz was
able, with the assistance of his friends, to go down
the steps, and was put into a cab and carried home.
His wounds are severe and painful, but not danger-
ous. Mr. Veau was entirely prostrated by his in-
jury, and it is feared that it will prove mortal. The
gentlemen engaged in this unhappy affair are all
highly respectable Creoles, and men of families.—

SURREY PHOENIX v. THE STREATHAM CLUB.
One of the strongest amateur clubs in the vicinity of
the metropolis is that of " Streath„ Im," and to meet its
members the" Surrey Phreatx at the end of last week
rose up at the Oval, when some very briliant cricket was
displayed during the two days which were occupied in
the testing of their respective strength, The Streatham,
however, had the assistance of 0,110. of the ‘. Surrey Club"
bowlers in lieu of one of their i?owling memberv, who is
ebaont on a " pickling" excursion. They also had the

the first innings the

adding the ameut.t of their seconds hkivis, 68, to that
majority, the PllO.3lliX commenced their second innings
with a total of 132 to obtain to win. Of that number
they had made 56, with the loss of three wickets only,
when at the close of the second day it was agreed that
the match should be drawn.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

—.-
SUNDAY NlGnT.—The fire, at nine o'clock, was
still burning, and at frequent intervals large bodies of
flame shot up, but owing to the continual discharge
of water upon the walls and ruins no apprehension is
entertained that any other buildings will become
ignited. During the whole of this day a large body
of men were employed' in pulling down the upper
portion of one of the immense walls of Messrs.
Hayter and Howell's premises, on the south side of
the Corn Exchange. This portion of the warehouse
was considered so insecure that it was thought the
corn merchants woedd be afraid to transact business
in the Exchange this day (Monday). Up to the
above hour some thousand tons weight of bricks had
been removed, and there is now no fear of any further
Mischief to the Exchange. A wooden hoarding has
been placed across the farther end of the building,
and canvas sheets have been laid over those portions
of the roof which have been destroyed, so that in the
part of the Exchange not injured the market will be
able to be carried on as usual. The directors of the
New Corn Exchange We shown the greatest libe-
rality to their less fortunate brethren, and yesterday
the following notice was issued :
"London Corn Exchange, Sept, 20, 1850.
"At a meeting of the directors of the company, it
was unanimously resolved that, in consequence of
the late fire, the restriction upon the standholders of
this market, against permitting the samples of others
being placed in their stands, tables, or pillare, be
relaxed for the present, in order that they may afford
accommodation to standholders in the old market,
until their premises are again fit for occupation ; and
the company's large subscription room on the second
floor be placed at the service of the standholders of the
old market, if they shall find it convenient to make
use of it.
(Signed) "WILLIAM WELD WREN, Clerk."
It is greatly feared that the loss will prove much
greater than was at first believed, for, owing to such
an intense heat as exists at the present time in the
ruins, much of the property contained therein must
be destroyed. Some idea of the heat may be formed
when it is stated that yesterday afternoon the water
from the ruins ran into the wine cellars of Mr. Jones
quite boiling hot. This, it is feared, will materially
injure the valuable stock. The principal portion of
the fire still rages amongst an immense quantity of
soldier's clothing, and it is feared that some days must
elapse before it is entirely extinguished.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.—Michaelmas-day
falling on a Sunday this year, the election of Lord Mayor for
the year ensuing will take place on Saturday next. The
Sheriffs elect, Alderman Carden and Mr. Hodgkinson, will
be sworn in previous to the election, and afterwards com-
mence their duties as sheriffs in the election of Lord Mayor,
and their inauguration will take place on the following
Monday. Mr. Alderman Hunter and Mr. Alderman Mus-
grove, who stand next in rotation, it is expected will be re-
turned to the Court of Aldermen, when their election will fall
upon Alderman 'Litter.

lIPORTS.

Our shipping list from month to month becomes
beautifully less ; there is, however, some cargo offer-
ing, and three vessels have ,been enabled to clear—
the Royal Saxon, the Anne Jenkins, and the Effort,
taking altogether about 14,000 cwt. of coffee. The
Alice Maud and Fieur-de•Lis will fill up with
probably 6,000 cwt. more. The chief cargo offering
is cinnamon, the new cuttings of which are coming
in, and the end of the Onvah coffee crop. Within a
month we may expect that some of the new crop
from the Kudaganava districts will be shipped.
Dealers are unwilling to contract at present rates for
native coffee, and we do not expect any business to be
doing until the crop begins to arrive from the interior.
The shipments by the official returns have been to
the 10th of August--

1850. 1849. 1848.
Plantation
Native

324,577 356,578 272,805
The very excessive over-entries of 1849 were not
deducted, whereas the exports for 1850 have been
corrected by quarterly returns.
Cinnamon—The quantity of this spice which has
gone forward is large ; the Alice Maud has already
upwards of 800 bales on board, and will probably in
a few days take 1,500 to 1,800 packages. The Fleur-
de-Lis will also take a fair quantity. 'We do not hear
of any transactions in new spice. The quantities ex-
ported for the last years to the 10th August, have
been :-1850, 480,6041 b.; 1849, 403,1881 b.; 1848,
183,6881 b.

Cocoanut oil partakes of the general inactivity in
exports, but small quantities have been put on ship-
board. Copperah is cheaper ;it may be purchased at
333. per candy. Oil is quoted at 71. to 71. 10s., but
not many transactions of importance are recorded
:
Quantities shipped to the date are as follows :—To
the 10th of August, 1850, 512,418 gallons corrected ;
ditto, 1849, 281,886 gallons, corrected ; ditto, 1848,
276,781 gallons, corrected.
Ebony, sapan wood, and coin goods, and horns, are
generally neglected.
Plumbago has been put on board the last ships
very freely.
Exchanges have varied per cent. in favour of re-
mitters since our last, Bank purchasing rates being
51, and selling 2f per cent. discount, 6 months' bills.
Private and East India Company's bills on Madras
are doing at ts. 11d. per rupee, on Calcutta and
Bombay at ls. 111 d. to Is. 1 lid.
Freight is difficult to quote accurately—say, coffee,
3/. to 3/ 10s.; cinnamon, 41. 10s. Tonnage will be
scarce after the departure of the vessels now on the
berth.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTII, SEPT. 22.—The Dutch frigate
Prince Von Orange arrived yesterday morning from
Curacoa, and saluted the union jack and the Com-
mander-in-Chief's flag which was returned by the
flag-ship and platform battery, after which the cap-
tain came on shore with M. Louis Vandenbergh, his
Netherlands Majesty's Vice-Consul at this port, and
paid his respects to the Port-Admiral.
The Fox, 42, Captain Lambert, sailed this morning
for the East India station to relieve the Cambrian.
The Thetis, 36, Captain Kupar, C. 8., sailed this
morning f,r Lisbon, to join Commodore Fanshawe's
squadron of evolution.
The Bonetta brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander

F. E. Forbes, arrived at St. Helen's in the night of
Friday, and came up to Spitnead yesterday forenoon,
from the coast of Africa. She sailed from Sierra
Leone on the 3d of August, and has encountered some
very foul weather. The clerk in charge (Mr. Down)
died on board on the 28th of July, frcm coast fever,
contracted on 'shore by landing only one day at
iVhydah on duty. The squadron was thus distributed
when the Bonetta left. In the Bight, : —The Gla-
diator, Hecla, Jackal, and Wolverine. On the south

coast—Cyclops, Rattler, Waterwitcb, Pluto, Flying
Fisb, Phcenix, Kingfisher, Philomel, and Snap. On
the north coast—The Hound and Ringer. The

Commodore was on his way to Zusgatanga. The
Archer had arrived at Ascez•sion, and was ordered
to the Bights. The Plu to steam vessel will
be the next vessel home, and may be expected in
about a week. The Hecla steam-sloop has been
highly successful in making prizes. She sent her
ninth into Sierra Leone about three weeks before the
Bonetta sailed, which latter has made seven during

her stay on the station. The Bonetta has been two
years and eleven months in commission, is now or-
dered to be paid off at Chatham, for which post she
sailed this morning. The commander, Lieutenant
Forbes, bas been employed during the past year in
negotiating with the King of Dahomey, in the en-
deavour to establish a treaty for the abolition of the
slave trade throughout his territory, but which failed.
His Majesty reviewed his troops during Commander
Forbes' sojourn with him, v.nd they are spoken of as
well disciplined, though 4,000 out of 10,000 of the
soldiery are women clothed as men, who perform
their military duties in every respect as well as their
male companions in arms. His Mejesty, es a mark
of his especial favour, presented Commander Forbes
with a juvenile princess, aged 7 years, whom he has
brought to England to be educated. At the "Cus-
toms" (a sort of religious rite) 30 human sacrifices
were offered to their deity, two of the (soldiers from
Attapahme, aged respectively, 40 and 50) Com-
mander Forbes purchased for 100 dolls. and sent to
Fernando Po to be liberated. The slave trade was
very brisk and the squadron very healthy.
The Hecate steam sloop was commissioned at this
port yesterday by Commander G. S. Hand. The
other appointments will be found below.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT THE W 7 (NDHAM CLUB-
HousE. —This morning, shortly after I b ree o'clock, great
alarm prevailed in St. James's-square, i a consequence of an
outbreak of fire at that extensive establishment, the
Wyndham Club-house. The house v 'ti's filled with smoke
proceeding from the " Strangers' Roc ;" it was deemed
uece,sary to send for the Brigade a) td West of England
engines and firemen, who speedily atter ded. When the fire-
men entered the premises the flames w ;re spreading rapidly,
but the engines were put into opera' ;ion, and through the
assistance rendered by the police and lon lestics, the fire was
extinguished, but not until much v ala ible furniture had
been destroyed, and damage done to the building. The
fire was occasioned by the foul state c f the e kitchen chimney,
which is in close communication with ,that of the Army and
Navy Club-house adjoining.

CONVALESCENCE OF LORD JOHNIRUSSELL.—We
are happy to state that the Noble Premier is sufficiently
recovered from his recent indisposition to be enabled to
attend to his Parliamentary duties. The Noble Lord
was in his place in the House of Commons this evening,
for the first time since his illness. His Lordship ap-
ps Lrs to be still very weak, and his answers to the
various questions that were addressed to him were made
in so weak a tone of voice as to be scarcely audible.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings after Term at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief
Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.)
The case of Wright v. Wilcox was the only case
brought before the Court this morning. The proceed-
ings were of great length, and were not of sufficient in-
tercst to merit a report.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

The novelty for the current wtt k at this theatre is
an original drama in two acts, entitled The Pirate of
Scio, which was producAl for the first time on Mon-
day. It is f anded on events that occurred during
the revolt of the Greeks at Scio, ard their subsequent
mir.sscre by the Turks. The plot is as follows :
Antonio Mavricordoti (Mr. J. T. Johnson), while a
child, witnesses the murder of hi, father, and after-
wards the suicide of his mother, which has such an effnt
upon him Iv: to render him dumb, though he retains un-
impaired his other senses. Ar;ivrd at maturity he be-
comes the captain of screw of pirate' and makes his po-
sition subservient t) the execution of a vow of venge-
ance on the murf?erer of his parent. He arrmee in
England, and discovers that Mr. Harcourt (Mr.
:e
ville),3 who was formerly English consul et Slims
and who is residing at the time of the opening of thsr
piece in Hampshire, is the party by whose hand his
sire was murdered. It appears also thit, he (the
pirate) is attached to the daughter of Harcourt,
which, however, has not the effect of diminishing his
animosity to her sire. He decoys the father and
daughter on board his vessel, recovers his epee*
and having revealed his knowledge of the former
being the murderer of his parent, is shout to exercise
a summary vengeance, when the ship is attacked by a
revenue cruizer, commanded by the lover of Emily
(Harcourt's daughter) Mrs. G. Lee. The father and
daughter are rescued, the pirate is slainosnd theluvers
are united. The piece was well received.
London, England, 1850-05-10

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

A grand spectacle, entitled The Bed Battle-field,
which was produced at this theatre on Monday even-
ing, was repeated on Wednesday night. The scene
is laid in the ancient village of Finsburie," and in
the time of the Crusades. The story turns upon the
loves of the Knight of the Snow-white Plume (Mr.
Henry Howard) and Mabel, "the fayre ladya of
Finaburie" (Miss Ada Dvas) and embraces the usual
round of incidents and exciting adventure which are
considered essential to give eff.ct to such perform-
ances. There are processions of knights, and some
pretty scenery, and in the comic department, Mr. W.
Searle, Mr. John Gardner, and Mr Coreno, afforded
abundance of amusement. The piece was quite suc-
cessful, and was loudly applauded. The spectacle
was followed by the revival of the drama, entitled
Leola, the Corsican Maid. Other entertainments fel-.
lowed, and the evening's performances seemed to
afford much gratification to the audience. The house
was crowded.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.).

_
A tall powerful Irishwoman was this morning placed
at the bar b, fore Mr. Jardine, charged with assaulting
Mr. Charles Edward Stacey, the ballet-dancer at her Ma-
jesty's Theatre, and generally compagnon de ballet with
Mademoiselle Feraris.
From the prosecutor's statement it appeared that ho
had last evening left her Majesty's Theatre in company
with some friends to go to the Italian Opera, and there
to wait till the ballet was over, as they had some busi-
ness with the ballet-dancers of that theatre. Instead of
waiting in the anti-room, they went into Knight's pub-
lic-house, a place generally used by the profession.
Whiht standing at the bar the prisoner, without any
provocation, ran up to him and delivered a frightful
blow on his mouth, which split his lip and made it bleed
for some time. The police being called in, she was given
into custody. It was very fortunate she had not struck
him in the rye so as to blacken it, as he would have been
thrown out of employment for a week or two.
The prisoner, who said nothing, was committed for a
month.

DON CIEBRAS' CONCERT.

On Wednesday Don S. and Don R. Ciebra gave
their morning concert at the Queen's Concert Rooms,
Hanover-square. The list of artists engaged on the
occasion comprised, in addition to the talented entre-
peneurs themselves, many names well known in the
musical world. The programme put forth was of a
very recherche and attractive description, being se-
lected generally from the principal composers of the
modern school. The principal vocal pieces were
the duet between Dulcamara and Adina (L'Elisir
(1' Amore), by Madlle. Cotti and Signor Taglia-
fico; " _Nei dolce Incanto," Madame Lemaire ;
" Stance di pin," Madame Lozano ; "Lo
Ye-
dremo" (Ernani), Mr. F. l3odder ; " Exandi
Deus" (Barnett), Miss A. Taylor; the barca-
role, from illasaniello, Signor Tagliafico ; and a
Spanish song by Madame de Lozano. The Senors
de Ciebra executed a number of pieces on the guitar,
in which they displayed their well-known taste and
skilfulness of manipulation in a manner that elicited
the warmest applause. Don M. Echeverria played a
solo on the bandurria, a modification of the Spanish
guitar, peculiar, we believe to the kingdom of Aragon,
the strings being struck by a reed and not pinched
with the fingers as in the usual instrument. The Don
showed it to be capable of great sweetness and expres-
sion in the hands of a skilful player, although we
doubt whether if struck by an ordinary executant it
would rival the guitar. Mr. Clinton and Mr. Wil-
liams were very successful in a duet for flute and
clarinet. We must not forget to mention that Miss
Forster took part with Don R. de Ciebra in a duet
in a theme from Semiramide, which was deservedly
encored. The room was filled by a most fashionable
auditory.
London, England, 1850-05-10

which may be at variance with one previously taken
to the Church, therefore they have written a
circular to their clergy, which they enclose, com-
manding them that when they are taking the oath
they are to do so under reserve, and shall consider
the oath to the constitution only so far binding and
of legal force as it is administered salvis ecclesice
juribus.
The Count Von LADENBERG, in his reply thereto,
states that inasmuch as the oath to the constitution
involves nothing that is opposed to religion, the
circular of the bishops is admitted, and the Roman
Catholic priests, on taking the oath, will be per-
mitted to make the declaration prescribed by the
bishops.

Tne state, however, will consider itself equally
bound and empowered not to leave persons making
that declaration in any doubt ; that that declaration
can in no wise change or set aside the obligation to
which they have by oath bound themselvis to the
Government.

It is said that the Prince Bishop of BRESLAU has
acceded to the declaration of the Bishop of the wes-
tern provinces, and will adept the same in his diocese.
These differences may, therefore, be regarded as
settled.

Count LEO TRUN has been appointed Austrian
Pienipotentiary to the Frankfort Congress.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has commanded that the
golden cross of merit shall be given to the captain of
the English vessel, the Brazilian packet, of New-
castle, John Davison, for having succoured the Aus-
trian brigantine, Societa Bocchese, when suffering
from stress of weather.

It was rumoured in Vienna that it was probable
that DEAK might enter the Cabinet, without a port-
folio, as the representative of Hungary. DEAK was,
formerly a Member of the Magyar Liberal opposition,
but retired from public life in the autumn of 1848.
in consequence of his jealousy of the rising power of
KOSSUTJA.

The Deutsch Allgemeinel Zeitung bas letters from
Trieste of the Ist instant, stating that, according to
the last advices from Dalmatia, the city of Stagno
had been utterly destroyed by frequent earthquakes
and a sudden irruption of sulphurous springs. No
lives were lost, as all the inhabitants left the city
before it was finally destroyed.

BOW-STREET.

A young man, who refused to give either his name
or address, was placed at the bar charged with bur-
glary under the following circumstances :
Mr. Jonathan Mercott, 503, New Oxford-street,
wholesale ironmonger, being sworn, said—l came
home last night about half-past nine o'clock, and
after opening the street door lighted a candle, and on
my turning the corner of the counter to enter my
warehouse, over which is my bed-room, the prisoner
suddenly sprang from under the counter, upon which
I stopped him. I then found that the eight fowling-
pieces produced, value about 221., were packed up on
the counter, having been removed from the window,
and, having questioned the prisoner by what means he
effected an entrance, he replied that he was let in by
another man, who told him that he would see a bun-
dle on the counter which he was to bring away, and
while the conversation was going on some man came
close to the door, and, addressing the prisoner, said,
apparently with much anxiety, " Are you ready ?"
There were subsequently found upon the prisoner a
bundle of small keys, a large empty bag, a quantity of
limiter matches, a jemmy, and a skeleton key, part of
the ward of which remained in the lock of the front
door by which the prisoner entered.
The prisoner persisted in refusing to say. who he
into
the and having repeated that he was admitted
the house by another, he was ordered to be remanded
for a week.
