to hasten home the Free-Trader, a sister vessel to the
Eider, and she is to be brought round to Woolwich
to be fitted at this port with the least possible delay.
Provisions of every description are lacing prepared at
Deptford and at Portsmouth, and no time will be lost
in putting them on board when the vessels are
ready to receive them. The sailing vessels, the
moment they are strengthened by Messrs. Wigram
and Mr. Green, will be brought to Woolwich, where
their stores, &u., will be put on board. Captain
Austin is not only in high spirits, but most enthu-
siastic in the cause he has undertaken, and unremit-
ting in his exertions to get the expedition ready for
see.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL SHE GORDON I3RE-
Ii.C.B , K.C.H.-Intelligence was received at
Woolwich yesterday morning of the death of this
gallant officer, on Thursday, at three o'clock A.M., at
his residence at Compton, near Plymouth. Sir James
John Gordon Bremer entered the navy as first-class
volunteer in 1794, on board the Sandwich flag ,ship,
at the .-.Tore, of Rear-Admiral Skeaington Lutwidge,
from which he was discharged in June, 1795 ; be-
came, Oct. 8, 1797, a student of the Royal Naval
College, at Portsmouth, and re-embarked April 8,
1802, as midshipman on board the Endyrnion, 40,
Captain Philip C►harles Durham. He afterwards,
until July, 1805, served in the Isis, flag-ship, in
succession of Vice-Admiral Sir James Gambier and
Rear-Admiral Edward Thornbrough, on the New-
foundland and North sea stations ; Windsor Castle, 98,
and Defiance, 74, both commanded by Captain Dur-
ham, under whom he latterly saw much boat service
in the Bay of Biscay; and Prince George, 98,
Captain George Losack. lie was then (having but
a short time previously passed his examination)
appointed sub-lieutenant of the Rapid gun..hrig, and
on the 3d of August, 1805, was made full lieutenant
into the Captain, 74, Captain Stephens, part of the
Hon. W. Cornwallis's force in his ensuing pursuit of
the French fleet into Brest. On the 9th of May,
1806, he was appointed to the Diana, 38, Captain
Thomas James Malings, on the Mediterranean
station, whence he afterwards proceeded to Davis'
Straits ; Oct. 6, 1806, to the Imogene, 16, Captain
Thomas Garth, in the Mediterranean ; and May 28,
1807, to the Psyche, 36, Captain William Wood-
ridge, stationed in the East Indies, where he was ad-
vanced on the 13th of October following to the com-
mand of the Rattlesnake, 18. Returning to England
early in 1810, Captain Bremer, on the 13th of Aug.,
1812, joined the Bermuda, of 10 guns, in which
sloop, when in company with the Dwarf and Pioneer,
he captured, on the 11th of September, 1812, off
Boulogne, Le Bon Genie, of 16 guns and 60 men;
and on the Ist of January, 1813, he assumed
the command of the Royalist, 18. While in that
vessel be took four large American schooners,
and aided at the capture of four others ; was also
present, and bore a very conspicuous part, at the
gallant defence of Castro, when besieged in May,
1813, by a French army of at least 10,000 men. On
the 21st of October following he co-operated with the
Scylla, 18, at the cpture, in sight of the Rippon, of
the French frigate, Le Weser, of 40 guns, and 340
men, after a severely-contested action, and a loss to
the Royalist of two killed and nine wounded; and
in April, 1814, participated in the operations at the
entrance of the river Gironde, under Rear-Admiral
Charles Vinicombe Penrose. He was nominated a
C.B. on the 4th of June, 1815, and subsequently
appointed, on the 29th of August, 1815, to the Lee,
on the Irish station ; on the 30th of May, 1816, to
the Corpus, 28, in which he was wrecked on a reef
of rocks off St. Shotts, Newfoundland. In February,
1824, he was sent to establish a colony in Melville Is-
land, Australia, whence he afterwards proceeded to
India, and there joined in the closing scenes of the Bur-
mese war. On January 25th, 1836, he was created
a K.C.H.; and on the 12th of July, 1837, he was
appointed to the Alligator, 28 guns. After again
visiting New Holland, and founding the settlement
of Port Essington as it at present exists, he once more
arrived in India, where, on the death of Sir Frederick
Lewis Maitland; in 1839, he became Commander-in-

Chief, and continued to discharge all the duties of
that important post until October, 1841, latterly with
his broad pendant in the Wellesley, 72. He left Sin-
gapore in 1840, on the mission of triumph and glory
in China, until the final capture of Chusan in 1841.
Her Majesty testified her gracious approbation of his
valour in conflict and his discretion as her plenipo-
tentiary in council by conferring upon him the dig-
nity of a K.C.B. He was subsequently Commodore-
Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, until he re-
tired, on the 13th of November, 1848, and attained
the rank of Rear-Admiral on the 15th of September,
1849. A good service pension becomes vacant by his
decease.

IMPORTANT TO INNKEEPERS.
A case of considerable importance came before the
magistrates at the Trowbridge Petty Sessions, Wilts,
on Wednesday. Messrs. Saxty, Garrett, Cox,White,
Allen, Layne, Vincent, Cuff, and Foreman, and Mrs.
Hail, innkeepers of that town, appeared to answer
informations laid against theta by Mr. John Foley,
inspector of weights and measures, for having in
their possession and using certain vessels intended to
represent pint and other measurer, which were unjust
and not according to the imperial standard. Mr.
K. Norris, of Devizes, supported the information,
and the defence was conducted by Mr. H. Miller,
of Frome, and Mr. Slack, of Bath. As the cases in-
volved complex and difficult questions of law, J. Ra-
venhill, Esq., the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions,
attended to assist the Bench in coming to a decision.

It was resolved to take the case of Mr. Cuff first,
who, Mr. Norris said, was charged with having in
his possession and using six pint measures, and
two quart measures, which were deficient. The
sth and 6th William IV., chap. 63, sec. 21,
enacted that every person who should use any
weight or measure other than those authorised by
that Act, or which should be found unjust, should, on
conviction, forfeit not exceeding Si. Mr. Norris
said he had taken the opinion of Mr. Bodkin and
other counsel on this point, which justified him
in submitting that it was not necessary to prove
a user by sale, hut that any other user in the trade
would suffice. But, even should the Bench decide
against him on this point, the defendant was clearly
liable under the 28th section of the Act, which
enacts that if any measure shall he found by the in-
spector unjust, it shall be seized and forfeited, and
the person in whose possession the same shall be found,
shall, on conviction, forfeit not exceeding 51. A wit-
nee, who went with the inspector to the defendant's
house was then called to prove that several of the cups
found in the bar were deficient in measure,
and not according to the imperial standard.
The solicitors for the defence then addressed the
Bench successively, contending that the infor-
mation could not be sustained. By the 6th sec-
tion of the statnte, it was provided that nothing
therein contained should prevent the sale of any arti-
cles in any vessels, where such vessel was not repre-
sented as containing any amount of imperial mea-
sure. The vessels in question were earthenware
cups, and not measures ; nor were they represented
to contain any particular measure, any more than
glasses, which were used when customers asked for a
glass of beer or other liquor, and were served with
such a vessel accordingly. If a customer asked for a
cup of beer, he was served with and charged for a
cup full; so for a glass; and if for a
pint, or a quart, a pint or a quart measure
full, according to the imperial standard. The false
representation was the cheat, and it was clear that the
Legislature did not mean to apply its penal pro-
visions to cups or glasses either, unless they were
represented as containing what they really did not
contain, imperial standard measure. Customers
might prefer a cup to a pewter-pint, and if they were
told a cup contained a pint, the 21st section enabled
them to demand a comparison with an imperial mea-
sure ; and if the cup was found defective, then, and
only then, or in cases of like nature, where a fraudu-
lent misrepresentation was either actually or impli-
citly made, did the law subject the innkeeper
to penalty, By the same section an express excep-
tion was also made as to the stamping of earthen-
ware cups, and it was therefore no offence to have
such unstamped. At the same time, as the
innkeeper was denied by that exception, op-
portuuity of testing ;the cup before the inspector at
the time appointed for stamping pewter measures,
he had not the advantage, as to earthenware cups, of
an ordeal which would enable him to satisfy himself
whether the cup was according to the standard or not,
and to have in his possession a defective earthenware
cup was, per se, no offence at all, and only became
criminal when the possession was for a fraud upon
the public, which was proved by a false representa-
tion that such a cup was not defective, but was capable
of containing the full measure, according to the
imperial standard. The Learned Gentleman alluded
to the great importance of the present case to the pub-
lic, and also to the defendant, who had borne a good
reputation as an honourable tradesman, and who, they
assured the magistrates, would be sorry to avail him-
self of such means as those alleged, for gaining his
livelihood. The magistrates, after considering the
case, thought the law doubtful, and gave the defen-
dant the benefit of the doubt. This information hav-
ing been dismissed, all the other cases were with-
drawn.

quiry last evening at Sir Charles Wood's official resi-
dence, in Downing-street, the answer was that the Right

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—The performances of Tues-
day next, when Flexmore takes bis benefit at this
theatre, are announced to take place under the special
patronage of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, who have graciously signified
.
their intention of being present on the occasion. is
a distinguished mark of the appreciation entertained of
the high comic talents of the beneficiaire by those illus-
trious patrons of merit. The favourite opera of Charles
the Second, in which the vocal talent of the company is
so advantageously developed, is to precede a new ballet
by Flexmore, entitled the Three Statues and the Rally
Forest, and from the combined terpsichorean excellence
of Madlle. Auriol and himself, a rare treat may be con-
fidently anticipated. In the pantomime some novel
comicalities are to be introduced, and the concluding
scene is to exhibit a splendid display of fireworks, pre-
pared by Darby, the eminent pyrotechnist, which will
term a grand climax to the feats of " the inimitable"
and his admirable comrades—the majestic Honey, and
his fascinating queen, the ferocious Wynn, the graceful
Fawcrt, the agile Bologna, the adamantine Paulo, the
spring-heeled Lebar, and the India rubber Wright.
As a first-rato artist and a man ( f private worth,
Flexmore is well deserving of the patronage and support
which await him on Tuesday es eninr.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--We understand that the
Loudon mail train on the Caledonian Railway came into
collision with a goods train at Abington, 40 miles south
of Glasgow, yesterday morning. Seven of the passengers
by the train were more or less ir;ured, and one pas-
senger had his thigh-bone brcker. train was de-
layed for several hours in consequence of the accident.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial.
office from the Governor of Gibraltar.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEIV'S TENCH, Feb. 15.
(Cotitinue 1 :rem our Afternoon Edition.)
After the examination of other witnesses,
Mr. .litnirnE-is then uAlressed the jury for the de.
fondant.

Several witnesses Laving been examined fur the de
fence,

Mr. COCKBURN addressed the jury in reply.
It was then ultimately agreed upon bttween the coun-
sel on both siOes that there should be a verdict, upon the
first plea of not guilty, of Is. nominal damages for the
plaintiff, and that a juror should be withdrawn upon the
other plea ofjustification.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 15.
TILE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME.
O'CONNOR V. BRADSHAW.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
'Mr. Knight, a clerk in the Union Bank, said he had
recoiled an offer from Mr. O'Connor to hccome the
manager of his bank at a salary of 500/. a year; but
when ho saw the constitution of the hauls, and the offices
in Holborn, ho wrote to him to decline accepting the
office.

Mr. Amen, actuary to the Atlas Assurance Society,
examined by Mr. ROEBUCK, said—l have read the rules
of the Na'ional Land and Bank Company. The number of
shares ate stated to be 100,000 at 265. each, which
would raise 130,0001. Taking the first capital at the
limitation that no person should have more than four
or less than two shams, 35,000 shares might be allotted
out of the first capital. Supposing it cost 3001.
to locate each person, 130,0001. would locate 433
persons. Supposing the capital to be 273,000/.,
subscribed by 70,000 persons, that sum would locate 910
persons. if the estates were sold, and other estates
bought, at 273,00C1., and this process were to be re-
peated every Ytar, it would take 150 years to locate
70,000 peroons, and the cost would be 21,000,0004—
(Loud laughter.)
Mr. ROEBUCK said this was all the evidence ho pro-
posed to (Seer.
The Court adjourned for a short interval, and on the
return of his Lordship Mr. ROEBUCK complained of the
close atmosphere of the court, and requested that the
windows might be opened.
Mr. Sergeant WHauzas said tho air was intolerable,
and if Dr. Reid's system of ventilation were continued
the emigration committee would be saved a great deal of
trouble, for he would kill the whole of them.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Philip M'Grath, the financial secretary and
director of the National Land Company, was next ex-
amined. The directors, he said, attended at the
offices in Holborn from nine in the morning
until six in the evening, and they consisted of Mr.
Fcargus O'Connor, Mr. Doyle Mr. Thomas Clark, Mr.
William Dixon, and himself. The professed object
of the company was to purchase land, and to distribute
it among the subscribers. The witness then gave au
account of the different conventions and conferences
held throughout the country, at which the rules
were drawn up and settled. The receipts of the
company and all the proceedings of the direc-
tors were regularly published in the columns
of the Northern Star, which was generally read by the
members. Five estates had been purchased, and on all
of them allottees had been located. The society had
about 500 branches in the provinces ; each had a se-
cretary, who called a meeting of members every
week, and whose duty it was to collect tt o
subscriptions and to remit them to London. He (Mr.
ivi•Grath) was in the habit of drawbar, up a weekly
balance-sheet, which was inserted in the Northern S'tar,
and thus a check was kept both over the local secretaries
and the London office. This plan had been adopted ever
since he became connected with the company. Mr.
O'Connor was the treasurer, and he brought forward
his balance-sheet at each annual conference, and the
course of business at each of these meetings was
to appoint an audit committee, who inquired into
its corcetuess. The bank was established at the

was carried on, in the first instance, in Dean-street, Soho,
where the business of the Land Company was trans-
acted; but the offices were removed, in December, 1847,
to Holborn, where the two departments were separated
and managed by different parties, although under the
same roof.

Cross•examined by Mr. ROEBUCK—My duties are de-
fined by the rules. It was my business to keep the
books of the company. There is a day-book, a cash-
book, and a ledger. The cont.( rence at Lowbands, in
Gloucestershire, had submitted' to it'a balance-sheet of

the accounts, and it was ratified. I have not get it, bet
suppose it is in the possession of Mr. O'Connor.
The item of 1,9221. entered into the cash-book was
handed over to Mr. M'Gowan, who is a printer and pub-
lisher, and the agent of Mr. O'Connor in London. I
receive a salary of 21. a week, and the directors are all
paid and receive a similar sum, with the exception of
Mr. O'Connor, who has no remuneration. One of the
rules required that the financial secretary should ac-
company one of the directors to the London Joint-
Stock Bank, when any money is paid in.
I have never done this, but as the rules were not en-
rolled under the Friendly Societies' Act, we did not
think it strictly necessary to act upon them. There
is nothing in the rules which authorised me to
pay any money over to Mr. Dl`Gowan. The total
sum he received wes 112,2771. Os. 1 lid. We found out
in 1848 that the company in conaexion with the bank was
illegal, but we received after this deposits to the amount
of 20,0001. or 30,0001. Mr. O'Connor wrote a circular to the
depositors, stating that tbe Bank and Laud Company would
be separated. Ile the❑ became banker as well as trea-
surer. When the separation took place the depositors
lost their security upon the land. After the circular the
money was still paid to Mr. M'Gowao. There had been
previously one common account, but the departments
were kept entirely distinct afterwards, and the expenses
of the bank were paid by Mr. O'Connor.
Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILKINS Mr.
O'Connor has nct received a single farthing from the
company, although he has devoted a great deal of time
to promoting its objects. The other directors are work-
ing men, and it is impossible for them to give their ser-
vices and to travel about the country without receiving
some remuneration.

Mr. M'Gowan, the printer of the Northern Star, and
Mr. Price, the manaler, and other witnesses, were ex-
a.cnined, but the case had not concluded at the rising of
the Court.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Feb 15.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL and a Special
Jury.)
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—RITCHIE V. BLAND.
This was an action brought by a lady named Agnes
Ritchie, residing at the Isle of Mao, against the Rev.
Philip Davidson Bland, curate of Rothertutho Church, to
recover compensation in damages for breach of promise
of marriage. The defendant acknowledged his breach
of promise by allowing judgment to go by default, and
a writ of inquiry was now executed ter the assessment
of damages, which were laid in the declaration at 3,000/.
Sir F. Thesiger, with whom was Mr. O'Malley, (T-
-reated for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Shee, with
whom was Mr. Saunders, represented the defendant.
Soon after the parties who represented the plaintiff
and defendant came into Court there were symptoms
of arrangement. Terms were proposed, and whilst the
jury were being sworn Sir Frederick Thesiger and Mr.
Sergeant Shee consulted on the compensation to be
awarded.

Sir F. TIIESIGER rose, and said that he wa3 happy to
inform the jury that they would be spared • a very pain-
ful inquiry. The abject of the plaintiff in bringing the
action was the vindication of her character, and he (Sir
F. Thesiger) understood that there was not the slightest
reproach to be can upon it, as they would publicly hear
from his Learned Friend, and by consent the jury would
assess the damages at 1,5001.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE expressed the satisfaction he felt
in the discharge of his duty at exonerating
the plaintiff
from all and every blame. There had not been, nor was
there now, any cause to attribute blame to her, and the
defendant would be ready at all times to make the ac-
knowledgment he now made on his behalf.
Mr. Under-Sheriff I3uncuELL told the jury that they
would, by consent, assess the damages at 1,5001.
Tho jury, of whom Sir Henry Ellis was foreman, ac-
cordingly assessed the damages at 1,500/
It was expected that the case would have occupied
some time. The speedy termination appeared to disap-
point some of the persons assembled.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London .New Price Current, Feb. 15.)
SUGAR.—To-dayionly a small business was concluded
in West India Muscovado Sugar for the pan or scale,
the purchases amounting to 364 hhds, &c., and rather
lower rates are acceded to. The sales for the week
amount to only 1,170 hhds, &c.,whilst the reduction in
prices amounts to Gd per cwt, and the market closes
with a dull aspect.
REFINED.--To-day there was no variation in the
value of Refined Sugar, but home dealers made pur-
chases with greater freedom, and an impression exists
that prices have
arrived at their lowest point, at least for
the present.
MACTRITIIIS.—This afternoon the public sales of Mau-
ritius Sugar went off flatly, and at rather lower rates, but
the chief part of 18 trcs 5,411 bags found buyers. Very
fine yellow went at 43s 6d, fine 39s 6d to 40s Gd, other
sorts 358 6d to 395, very, low brown 28s to 29s 6d, better
sort 30s to 335, and good and fine 34s to 35s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales e f
Bengal Sugar consisted of 2,907 bags, and the chief
part sold; white Benares went at full terms, but
for other sorts prices were barely supported:
the rates obtained for white Benares were 39a to
41s 6d, soft yellow 34s 6d to 38s Gd, like Mauritius
35s to 395. Of Penang 1,664 bags were sold at rather
lower terms; brown went at from 29s to 33s 6d, yellow
345 to 38s 6d, and superior 395 to 40s Gd. Of Madras
1,000 bags were taken in, soft yellow at 32s to 33s 60,
and low brown ditto at 29s 6d per cwt.
