TRINIDAD COURT OF CIVIL JURISDICTION.
THE TERCERIA. OF MESSRS. MILES AND KINGSTON, IN
THE MATER OF LOSII AND CO, V. EDWARD JACKSON.

In this case, tried in the island of Trinidad, on the
21st of June, here were present the Hon. Wm. George
Knox. acting Chief Justice, and two puisne judges.
The Chief Justice having enquired whether the Mar-
shal had returned the writ, Mr. F. W..rner, counsel for
that gentleman, said he regretted that it had rot been
returned, but he bad a certificate under the Marshal's
hand which be trusted the Court would receive under the
circumstances. It sh)wed that ex,•cution had been levied
upon oxen, cgrts, mules, and sugars, found on the Golden
Grove, and Upper and Lower Caront estates, which
Edward Jackson was possessed of at the time of his
decease ; the proceeds of which the Terceros Oppositores
chimed preferentially to the Defendants in Terceria, by
reason of their basing been mortgaged to them with the
estates by the common debtor before the writ of execu-
tion issued. The certificate stated the amount realized
upon the furniture and other household effects lev'x,A
upon and sold, and showed that the mules had ben sold
for 1,398 (lois., the oxen for 660 dols., the carts. for 557
dols., and the sugar for 3,286 dols. It furo„er showed
that Messrs. Colhoun and Milne, the at..erttie ' of. the
Terceros Oppos tores were purchase;„to nearly
the
amount of 6000 dollars, which sum ev refused to pay,
so that the Marshal could not ret'arti the writ. The pur-
chases bad been delivered to 'diem by Mr. Clogston on
the faith of their bonour as British merchants, and upon
a disinct ortamise that they would wive him a check for
the areoun.l when called upon. They, however, gave
evasive replies to all applic-itiens of Mr. Scotland, the
plaitailr's legal counsel, and others, and finally said they
would not pay until compelled by law. It was evident
that they had never intended to pay for what they had
purchased, and that Mr. Clogston had been deceived ; and
he trusted the Court would enlarge the time for the Mar-
shal to make his return, and not now press ti e matter
against him.
The Attorney-General said he etruld not help express-
ing his extreme indignation at the conduct pursued by
Messrs. Colhoun and Milne—conduct deserving the re-
protration of every honest man in the community. In
his experience he had never nut with a more disgraceful
proceedine.—The Chief Justice s:dd there was no ques-
tion that Messrs Coliseum and Milne ought to have paid
the Marshal, and had he been aware of what had occurred,
he woulit not have ordered the Marshal to return the
writ. Could the writ -be returned in one month ?

14h.. Warner feared nut, for the .tiarshal must write to
England in order to sell out property sufficient to make
up, what had been retained by Messrs. Coihoun and
Mane, and this would require three months.
'Witnesses were then called by Mr. Scotland to prove
'Vial the property sold belonged to Mr. Jackson, and was
tiallitualy need on 'the mortgaged estates—also that the
=gar was there made.
After some discussion as to the mortgage, from which it
-appealed that b a deed subsequent to the original mort-
gage, from Mr. Jackson to Mr. Burnley, Mr. Jackson had
been released from the covenant between them to ship the
sugars to him, which invalidated the mortgage upon that
-part of the property,—it was settled between the counsel
for the two parties that the proceeds of the mules and
.oxen should be held to be the property of the Tercerios
Oppositores under the mortgage, and that the amount of
4he sugar-should be paid over by the Manhal to Messrs.
Gray, Losh, and Co.

Letters from Monte Video, of 2d July, confirm the
.previous accounts from Buenos Ayres as to the failure of
Mr. Ouseley's attempt at negotiation, owing to General
Rosas refusing to yield one iota of his belligerent rights,
including that of blockading Monte Video, and making
the acknowledgment ^f those by France and England the
condition of his treating at all with them. The nego-
-ciations were, therefore suspended.

STEAM NAVIGATION IN NEW YORK.—Tne New York
Mirror says, " although this city has been extremely
negl•gent of its true interest, in omi ting to procure a line
of steamers to run weekly, or senv-monthly, to Liverpool,
the ground lost wilt soon be recovered; and we hazard
little in saying, that 1846 will see this city the centre of
steam ,avigation of toe country, as it now is of the sail-
ing ships. The steamers plying to this city will comprise
the Great .Britain and Great Western, the latter of which,
the past season, has carried more passengers than any
other Atlantic steamer, and now stands at the head of the
list in public lavuut.—Besides the two btmts of tht. line,
there will be the propeller line of Hariiden and Co., of
which the pioneer, the Ma.sachnset's, will make her trial
trip iii t..,eptember, we doubt nut, with success. Add to
these th,e Liverpool line now building, and there will be

but lirtle want of steam communication. At any rate,
there will be enough to supply a rapi.l communication
.with England as Mien as every week. The first success-
:fill attempt will be followed by so many applicants for
.patronage, in this way, that it will not be long before we
shall be as fully supp,ird with steam packets as we now
lire with the sailing ships, which are so just:y the pride of
New Yerk."
