Yesterday afternoon his Majesty's ship Blanche, 46,
Captain W. B. MENDS, arrived from the South. Ameri.
can station (last from Plymouth, where she landed her
'dispatches), having about 800,000 &Burson board, for
British merchants, and a number of invalided officers
and men from the squadron. She left Valparaiso on
the sth of May, arrived at Coquimbo on the 7th, and
sailed for Rio Janeiro on the 28th of that month, leay.l
ing there the Volage, Captain TArr, which ship was to
sail the next day for Valparaiso. The D iris, Sir Joins
GORDON SINCLAIR, left Valparaiso -on the 2d of May,
fur Callao. The ..lasseur, Captain HANDYIILD, was
expected it Callao, on her way home, in the course of
July; she is expected to bring a good freight of specie.
The American frigate Brandywine was at Callao, and
the corvette Viacennes on her passage thither from Co-
quimbo.

The

Chile was perfectly tranquil, and appeared to be fast
settling down to something like a steady Government.
The Ambassador from Peru to Chile had just sailed for
Li ma,with the commercial treaty between the Republics.
The particulars had not officially transpired ; but the
principal article•in it, as concerns Great Britain, is, that
in future no vends but those of Peru and Chile shall
carry on the coasting trade of those countries. The,
Mining Companies of Chile were breaking up; a number
of their people came home in the Blanche ; and the
whole affair appears to be fast drawing to a close.
During the stay of the Blanche at Rio, the French
squadron arrived from the coast of Africa, and the
French Admiral from Bahia, in the large double banked
frigate Surveillante. On her passage, she was fired
into by a vessel, supposed to be a privateer. Two men
were killed, and the Captain shot through the leg. The
privateer escaped. The French force was very imposing :
at one time not less than ten pendants wete flying there.
The Dutch frigate Venus, from Batavia fur Holland,
and the American frigate Macedonian, were slio lying
at Rio. On the Ist of August the plancheleft Rio, in
company with the Ganges and Heron, bound to Bahia
and Pernambuco, leaving-iss the harbour the Thetis
and Adventure.

The Blanche spoke, on August 26, the Rockingham,
130 days from Madras and 28 from St. Helena, bound
to London ; and on September r, the Louisa, 58 days
from the Cape, bound to London. The Blanche, after
the specie is landed from her, will proceed to Plymouth
to be paid off.
The Russian squadron, consisting of four gall of the
line, four frigates, and cne corvette, passed Gibraltar on
the stbinstant, in twenty-one days from Spithead,tor

the Archipelago. The Albion and Genoa left Malta
on the 20th nit. to join the Asia, in the Archipelago.
The Experimental Squadron was prevented by heavy
S.W. squalls, from proceeding on their third cruise until
Tuesday morning, when they put to sea to return to
their former station off Scilly, against a strong head-
wind. About half-past nine o'clock that night, an ac-
cident happened to the Tyne, 28, Captain KEARNEY
WHITE, by a Swedish timber ship running foul of her
which obliged her to put back. The circumstances hive
been very erroneously communicated to the London pa-
pers, stating that five pprsons had lost their lives by the
accident, which past, we are most happy to state, is alto-
gether untrue. The facts are these :—About half-past
nine p. m. as the Tyne was sailing in her station, on the
Admiral's lee quarter, and going seven knots through
the water, a large ship was suddenly seen on the op.
posite tack, on her lee bow; she was immediately
bailed to keep away, and at the same instant the
Tyne was thrown up in the 'wind ; no one answered
on board the stranger, nor was her course altered ;
she, therefore, struck the Tyne with great force abreast
the starboard misers chains, carrying away all the braces
and running rigging, with her bowsprit and fore-yard,'
and then swung round the Tyne's stern, carrying away
the driver boom ; the Tyne now having stern away, the
stranger ranged up on the larboard side,and being hooked
by the Tyne's anchor, she fell cross her bows, and con-
tinued there for nearly an hour. In this position, the
Tyne, with her cutwater, was doing her great damage,
as a good deal of sea was running, and the Tyne's
foreyard carried away her mizen mast. She proved
to be the ship Neptunus, a Swede, deeply laden, bound
to Lisbon. Some idea may be formed of the fright
which seized the crew, on the concussion of the ships,
from the fact, that after the ships were clear of each
other, three Swedes were found on board the Tyne,
who, on being questioned, said they knew nothing of
the accident ; they were in their hammocks at the time,
but feeling the shock, and imagining their ship was
going down, they jumped out of their hammocks, and
into die Tyne. No personal casualty happened to any
one, except to the Swedish Captain, who received a
blow on the leg. The Tyne was obliged to return to
be taken into dock, the knee of her head being damaged,
and her foremast and bowsprit both sprung. The
Swede also arrived the same day, with the loss of her
mizen-mast, bulwarks, chain-plates, and channels, and
her rigging much cut. This accident is more regretted,
because it will throw the Tyne out of the fair line of
competition with the other ships.
Yesterday the Isis frigate, of 50 guns, which has been
fitted out at Chatham, by Commodore Sir T. &AMU,
K.C.B. for the detached service in the Greek Archipe-
lago, arrived here for the crew to be paid wages, and
proceed. Such was the characteristic zeal displayed by
this able Officer, that Owe Isis was reported ready for sea
in 28 days after the pendant was hoisted. The Isis will
sail in a day or two,-for the station assigned to her.
The Athol of 28 guns, arrived late this evening, from
the East Indies.

A fisherman of Calais has drawn from the bottom of
the sea, with his nets, a cannon of very ancient make.
M. de Rheims has since freed it from the rust with
which it was covered, and on drawing it was surprised
to find it still loaded. Specimens of the powder drawn
from it have been examined ; the saltpetre was of course
decomposed after an immersion of about three centuries.
The ball was of lead, and was not oxidized more than
the hundredth part of au ioch.—Joar.thiPaa sic Calais.,

It is not very generally known that within the cir:
cuit of Edinburgh are portions of two counties, beside
that of Mid Lothian, Queensberry House belongs to the
county of Dumfries, and Paul's Work to that of Stir-
ling. A portion of Leith Stmt also belongs to the
parish of St. Niuian's, which is in the latter county.
Queensberry House was iNcordO,ated with the count
of Dumfries, by a charter of Queen ANNE, to enable
the then Duke of QUEENSBERRY, her Commissioner td
the Scottish Parliament, there to exercise his functioni
as heritable Sheriff of that county.
,REIN Dana.—Some weeks ago, Sir Francis A. Mae:
keneie of Gairloch, Batt. imported two rein deer -harts'
Archangel, with the_view of naturalizing them, and
breeding on his Gairloch estates. One of these interst-
ing animals has already died, and the other is in a M-
ir state. Sir Francis is of opinion that the soft gram of
this country almost invariably produce diarrhoea, and
consequent inflammation in these animals; and that
although abundance of moss, their natural and favour-
ite food, grows in all our moors, it will be impossible to
make the rein deer familiar with the comparatively
barren hills of Scotland.
Friday se'nnight, two whales were obseeired going up
Loch Gair, and one of them having got into the shal-

flict of some hours. At last; a wight of skill anti'
prowess, after escaping a dreadful splash from the •
ihe whale's tail, happened to reach his heart with this
thrust of an old Highland broad swotd. It died a kw.
minutes after; and his companion was observed (by hie-
blowing) to proceed quickly up the Loch. The one • '
which was captured is a young fiih, measuring 26 feet •
in length, and a very perfect specimen of the arctic whale.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—.Monday last, a very me-
lancholy affair happened on the farm of Glenhove.—.
Mrs. Marshall, with an infant, were travelling in a
cart, and when within a short distance of home, 'the.
horse look fright and sprung forward. Mrs. Marsh ill
becoming alarmed for the safety of her child, wished
to leap out, but before this could be effected, the horse
again made a stair, by which the child was thrown
out of her arms, and the unfortunate mother dashed
against the back of the cart upon her breast with stieh
violence, that sl-e lingered in great pain-(or two days,
when death snatched her from her sufferings and a fa-
mily of eleven children, who are left to bewail her loss.
It is surprising, that although the child was .thrown
upon the ground before the wheel, it sustained no ma-

BREACH OF PROMISE OW MARRIAGE.
UNDER SHERIFFS COURT, GLOUCESTER.
waionr V. waltzes.
Mr. Srosa stated that this was a writ of inquiry,
under which the Jury were called upon to say whit
"damages the plaintiff had sustained by a breach of pro-
mise of marriage. The plaintiff was only eighteen ;
she possessed very great personal attractions, and was
very much admired. The defendant was a man of
very considerable property; and of the mature age of
fifty, an age at which a man ought to know what he
was doing ; however, in this case it would appear that
the defendant's object was the seduction of the plaintiff.
It would be trusted that in the summer cf 1826 the
defendant made advances to the plaintiff, and offered
her marriage. The plaintiff did not accept him at first,
but after a little time consented to marry him. The
defendant then tried by every means in his power to in-
veigle the plaintiff to his house, but although she went
there two or three times, it was always in the company
of some third person. The defendant proposed making
a settlement' of part bt his property upon her, and a
peison named Proctor, who had since left the country.
was in,tructed to draw up a settlement accordingly.
The settlement was drawn and -shewn to the plaintiff,
for the purpose of deluding her; and, what ;poke vo-
lames against the defendant, was, that the settlement
was not worth a farthing, as it was drawn on a wrong
stamp. Still the defendant could not succeed in his
guilty purpose ; and the further to carry on his schemes,
lie actually measured the plaintiff's finger for the wed-
ding.ting, and ordered his own wedding clothes; but
still the modest prudence of the plaintiff shielded her
from his attempts, as she would never go to his house
except with a third person, and the defendant perceiv
ing that be was not likely to succeed in his wicked
purposes, without assigning any reason whatever, broke
siff the snatch. These were the facts, and be would ask
the Jury whether any damages would be too great to
be awarded against a man of fifty. who set about the
deliberate seduction of a young girl of eighteen by such
means as bad been used?
Mr. Samuel Trotman said—l know the plaintiff and
the defendant. In June 1826, the plaintiff was at my
house. The defendant paid attentions to her. He
wished to pay his addresses to her, but she would then
have nothing to do with him. Afterwards she became
reconciled to him, and she received his addresses.
Cros -examined by Mr. CARRINGTON—The plaintiff
despised him at first. She held him in the greatest con-
tempt. I know a young man named Tilley. He comes
sometimessto my house, but not very often. He is about
19 or 20 years of age.
• Priscilla Weight said—The plaintiff, Jemima Weight
. 4 •
Is my daughter; in December, 1896, I saw the defend-
ant—be said he should like to marry my daughter if
she were willing ; his whole conversation was about her ;
he said, if she was willing to marry him, be would settle
his property upon her; after this a marriage settlement
eas prepared; the defendant asked my daughter to go
to his house to see what things were wanting there; she
Trent to his house, tut never by furs& ; her brother-in.
laW went with her on one occasion, and her sister on
another ; I saw the defendant on the 7th of )larch in
the present year; he then said, " I have altered my
mind. I shall not make my property over, and I will
have nothing more to do with it." Since that my
daughter's health has not been so good as it was before;
she has been fretting much about the old man, and since
deserted by him, 1 have seen her its tears very often.
Ctois-examined—She cries because an old man of
more than double her own age would not many her.—
Her health is seriously affected by losing such a hus-
band. She did hold him in the most perfect contempt
when he first paid attentions to her; but the liked him
when she had consented to become his wife. I never
heard her say that she never would live with such an
old feilow ; and.l never heard her say th a if she had
marsied him, she would have got his money, and left
him to go to live in London.
Mr. John Workman said—ln March hat she plaintiff
and defendant were at my house. The defendant wanted
to settle his property on the plaintiff, and, lse former
gave directions to Mr. Proctor to draw it. Mr. Proctor
has since that left his residence, and !don't know where
be is. The defendant wanted ;he plaintiff to come to his
house on the following Sunday. The old man com-
plained that he could never get her there by herself,
and that three were no company. I have heard the de-
fendant say that his property is unencumbered.
Cross-examined—l am a distant relation of the
plaintiff. It was I who recommended Mr. Proctor.
He had done business for me; he was a man its credit
then. I did not know that a one pound stamp was not
correct for a marriage settlement, and I have no reason
to suppose that the defendant knew it.
Mr. CARRINGTON, for the defendant, felt quite sure
that the Jur,y would see that the defendant's property
was really the object of attack in this case, and would
feel that if the plaintiff's parents had acted properly
towards their child, they would have been the first to
prevent a marriage so unequal in point of years. With
regard to the alleged attempt at seduction, he was quite
confident that the Jury would see that that charge was
wholly without foundation. It was rather late in the
day for a man who had reached fifty yeais of age to
begin the trade of a seducer. With regard to the set.
Clement being on a wrong stamp, that was caused by
the person who prepared it, and not by the defendant ;
and whether the stamp was wrong from accident
• or design, it was proved that the persan who drew the
writing on the wrong stamp was a person then in cre-
dit, and recommended, not by the defendant, but by one
of the plaintiff's own relation. The plaintiff, amt was
admitted on all hands, was much admired ; and there
was no doubt that she would marry someone much
more suitable to her than the defendant ever could be.
The Jury, after remaining in consultation for two
hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damagei,
One Hundred and Thirty-five Pounds.

Last week, tl.ree notorious burglars, well known to
the police, met with a most unforeseen accident, which
entirely disappointed them of a rich booty. These
rn-rn have lately carrred on mort extensive depredations
at some distance from the metropolis, and for the put--
pose had a light green cart with a very fine thorough-
bred chesnut horse, to carry off the spoil. Having com-
mitted a burglary at some silk mills near Maidenhead,
one dark night last week, they Facked up near 2001.
worth of silk goods ready t' put in the cart, when,
through the darkness of the night in backing the horse
and cart, they backed it into the mill stream, a height
of some feet, the horse plunged, and the splashing and
noise of the depredators alarmed some cottage's adjoin-
mg, who came to their assistance, baying no idea of the
robbery, and offered their assistance; they replied, they
could get the horse out themselves, but this was no easy
matter, and other persons being attracted to the spot,
the thieves were compelled to make away unseen dur-
ing the confusion, to avoid being detects leaving be-
hind them their horse and cart, as well weir booty.
The horse is a very valuable one.
