IDf~eiea the morning of the accident, at the rate of about twelve
an hour, and making a very heavy swell. Witness had been
1-4it.aitited with the river 35 years, and considered that it was not

for any steam vessel to go down that part of the river at the

about five miles an hour, in the opinion of witness, the
lattit would not have occurred.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Extract of a letter from Dunbar, dated August 90 :—" A fish-
ing boat, in trying to enter this harbour to-day at noon, In a rough
sea, struck on a rock and went to pieces ; one man out of five was
washed over the rocks and was saved. Another got on a rock with
a certainty of being drowned unless a boat could reach him.
Lieut. Wylie, of the coast-guard, with five men, made the praise•
worthy attempt, but before they could reach him he was washed oil
the rock and drowned, and, lamentable to state, a heavy sea struck
the boat amongst the rocks, which was dashed to pieces, and all on
board perished. Thus perished a brave officer and nine men in a
few minutes, in sight of hundreds of persons, who could render no
tqsistatice.

THE MURDER or Eliza Gantwoon.—A private
soldier of the filth regiment, now lying at Portobello Barracks, was
charged at College-street police-office, Dublin, on \V•ednesday even-
ing, with being absent from quarters without leave. On being given
into custody, he asked for pen and paper, remarking to the inspector
that he would surprise him. His request being complied with,
stated that his name was George Hill, was a native of London, as.
son of a silversmith residing at Temple-bar, in the city; that he was
the murderer of Eliza Grintwood, whose death caused such a sensa-
tion in London some years ago. The prisoner at the time was under
the influence of liquor. The prisoner was brought before the magis-
trates on Thursday. After proper caution being given, he was asked
by Alderman Tyndall if lie had any communication relative to his
disclosures of last evening to snake. He replied, after some minutes'
hesitation, that he had nothing further to state at present ; but Iv
begged to be understood that he retracted nothing that he had stated
lie was then remanded.
DISCOVERY OF MR. GREEN'S BALLOON.—The
remnants of Mr. Green's balloon were picked up on Thursday from
the water off the " flats" or sands at Cline, beyond Gravesend, by a
man named }Hintz, a shepherd. It was torn to pieces.

Ft•UIT SE A SON.—The experience of past years
having proved the advantage, at this season, of acting upon
the advice of the Faculty, in the substitution of weak Brandy-and•
water, as an ordinary beverage, for Beer or other fermentable
liquors, and at no greater cost, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO. trust
that they need only to caution the public against any of the spurious
articles offered for sale being foisted upon consumers in lieu of their
Patent Brandy, and, at the same time, to refer to its superiority and
economy for preserving fruit.
BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY is protected against fraudulent
substitution, when sold in bottles, by being secured with the Patent
Metallic Capsules, embossed with the words "BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, 7, SMITHFIELD-BARS." Purchasers of single bottles,
at 3s. 6d. each, cannot be too particular in observing that the Cap•
sules are so embossed.
This pure and healthful spirit is preferred by the highest medical
authorities to any other, and is used, to the exclusion of Foreign
Brandy, at St. Thomas's, Guy's, St. George's, the Westminster, and
other Hospitals ; at the Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, and other In
Ermarles; and, indeed, at the principal sanative Institutions through-
♦Kt the country.
BETTS'S fIATENT BRANDY may he obtained, in the capsuled
bottles, by way of sample, and at 18s, per gallon in bulk, of the most
respectable wine and spirit merchants In every locality.

COCKER V. MUSGROVE.

This was an action brought against the late Sheriffs for Middle
sex, for an imperfect return to a writ of execution, issued by the
plaintiff against a person named Strenitz, a manufacturer of
teaselated paving. The defendant pleaded that there were five
other executions on the premises, and that therefore the latter could
not stand. . . .

The case, which was equally uninteresting as it was lengthy, had
not concluded in time for press.

LAMBETH.-(THIS DAY.)
ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE IN ONE OF THE CEI.I.B.—,SOTRAI
Freeman, a woman about forty years of age, apparently under the
influence of nervous excitement, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Norton, charged with creating a disturbance in Arlington.street,
Waterloo-road, and with attempting to commit suicide by stran.
gling herself, in the cell in which she was confined at the Tower_
street station.

Police.constable 159 L stated that at half-past twelve o'clock last
night he found the defendant making a great noise in Arlington.
street, by screaming and calling out " Murder I" and " Police!"
She was in an excited state, and though not absolutely drunk, she
was under the influence of liquor.
Police-constable, 67 L, stated that when he locked the defendant
up she told. him that she would never come out alive. Shortly
afterwards she made an attempt to strangle herself with her apron.
string, and would no doubt have destroyed herself tf he had not
prevented her.
Serjeant Evans, of the L Division said, that the defendant was
now under, bail foi having attempted to commit suicide by jumping
off Waterloo-bridge. _ _

. _
In answer to, questions put to her by Mr. Norton, the woman,
who trembled violently and cried, stated that her husband, who
was a water Man, and to whom she had been married four years,
was continually in the habit of brutally ill-using her. She had
been to fetch him from a public•house last night, and had some
beer with him. On their return hothe be knocked her about, and
she ran out of the house for protection, and unless she had done so
be would have murdered her.

Mr. Nonvors.--But how could you think of such a dreadful
thing as to commit suicide? The defendant—l was not in
my right senses. Sometimes I do not know what I am
about. My husband does not give me his earnings. Fre-
quently, I do not get more than Is. 6d. a-week. I a unit
endeavouring to jump off Waterloo-bridge. My husband's
bad temper drove me to it.

Police-constable, 67 L, stated that the husband, who came to
the station-hOuse, and who had some marks on him, said that
be had been strtick'by the defendant.
The defendent admitted striking' Mm, but added that it was in
self-defence. Het husband took her by the hair of her head and
dashed her against a copper. She had been cruelly treated by him.
Mr. NoaToX directed the officers to obtain the attendance of
her husband, and remanded the defendant until he could be brought
before him.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Oubtir Optitton.

" Who run* my read.'

FOAXAGN.

The Paris papers bring no news of importance. The wea-
ther had become excessively cdd, and vast quantities of
snow had fallen chiefly In the southern provinces. The
Madrid mail of the 3d had not arrived on that account.

The following picture of the British House of Commons is
given in a journal called the Almanack du Mois :—" Our
readers are aware that the English orators are not satisfied,
as ours are, with a plain glass.of sugar-water, and that be-
hind them is placed a tray containing drink more than re-
freshing, from the finest wines to the strongest liquors. The
night upon which Lord -Brougham delivered his celebrated
speech in favour of the abolition of negro slavery, he had
supplied himself, according
.to custom, with a large basket
tilled with bottles of the strongest wines. His speech lasted
coven hours, and it was found necessary to replenish the
basket. The gas-lights began to grow pale in presence of
the morning sun, and still the House of Commons was silent
and attentive. All e) es were directed towards the speaker.
He was seen to bend upon his knees, and to supplicate the
British Parliament with tears in his eyes to destroy slavery
over the face of the globe. Never was so much emotion per-
ceived in the ass'embly. The motion was carried in the midst
of enthusiastic cheering."
The _Mario, a Lisbon journal, dated the 4th inst., states
with much satisfaction that a Portuguese ship, the Uniao,
which was taken by an English cruiser in the waters of Qui-
limane, as a suspected slaver, has been liberated by the
mixed Committee at the Cape of Good Hope, after a most
searching but unbiassed trial, which terminated on the 20th
of November last. The capture was declared illegal, and the
vessel ordered to be restored, with her cargo ; and all costs
end claims of compensation were immediately satisfied, in
fulfilment of the sth article (letter B) of the treaty.
The annual export of oranges from St. Michael's is stated
to be 80,000 cases, valued at 140,0001.

According to accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 26th of
November, great,dissension bad occurred among the autho-
rities of Monte Video, which indicated the probability of a
speedy surrender of the city to the Buenos Ayrean army,
commanded ty Oribe.

genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented

In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now

more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extenSiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths- of Teas and
Coffees the world, produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest Ambition to
merit.

The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY

of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,

MONTRESOR V. MONTRESOR.

The questions involved in this case related to the will
codicils of Sir Henry Montresor ; this instrument was
evidently drawn up by Sir H. Montresor himself, informally,
and without professional assistance. With regard to the
first question, his Honour decided that the enjoyment of the
rents of the testator's real estate belonged to the wife and
children jointly, independent of the exercise of any dis-
cretionary power on the part of the trustees. The next
question was whether the ready money in the house, &c.,
went to his residuary legatee; he was of opinion that no
present or future interest, but that the income belonged to
the wife and children beneficially. With regard to the third
codicil, as to the use of the words, American stock and
Dutch funds, he held that they bad a large meaning, and
must be taken to include stock in the British funds also.

BAIL COURT; Feb. 11.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice NirmuntAN.)
Two cases of no interest, having reference to goods sold and
delivered, occupied the time of the Court this morning.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb 11.
HANSON V. WHITFIELD.
This was an action upon bills of exchange and promissory
note- accepted by the brother-in-law of the defendant in the
name of the latter, and on his alleged authority. The only
Ruestion in the case is, had the defendant given such autho-
rity, which in his pleas he now denies.
London, England, 1845-02-12

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 11.;

:Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF BARON- and a
Middlesex Special Jury.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FOSTER.

This was an information filed by the Attorney-General
against the defendant for the recovery of penalties he was al-
leged to have incurred for having in his posses Mon goods
which he had unshipped without payment of duty. The
Solicitor-General, Mr. Jarvis, and Mr. Wilde, were Counsel
for the Crown ; Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Hum-
fre, and Mr. Aspland, appeared for the defence.
The goods in respect of which this information had been
filed arrived by the steamer Harlequin, on the 14th of Fe-
bruary, 1842, and were contained in a case marked F. p. 37,
of which the rotation numbered was 837. The capacity of
the case inside was 18.5-12 cubic feet, and the goods were
311 b. 12oz. of plain silk, 16 shawls, 2 dozen shawl handker•
chiefs, and lqr. 151 b of pasteboard, all of which could be
placed within a space of 5 feet, leaving 13 feet s.l2ths un-
occupied. The value of the goods which might have been
held, after the necessary allowances, was 8961., for which, as
a single value, the Crown now sued. Defendant is the part-
ner of Mr. Porter, with whom he carried on the business of
warehouseman in Wood-street, Cheapside. We have already
reported the case against Porter, and a reference to it will
show the precise manner in which the fraud was conducted.
Noble, the clerk of the defendant, declared the right, and
with the assistance of Arthur Berries, the landing-waiter at
the Queen's warehouse, procured the delivery of the goods.
Sir T. WILDE tendered a bill of exceptions to the admissi-
bilityof Berners' evidence against defendant, and to the Lord
Chief Baron's summing up this case, as he had done that of

Porter. _
It had been arranged that the one case should decide the
other, on being argued in full Court.
After some further discussion, a verdict was taken for the
Crown by consent, in the single value of 896/.
