COLONIAL.  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 Marshal 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 execution 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 purchases 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 Marshal to make his return, and not now press ti e matter against him. The Attorney-General said he etruld not help expressing his extreme indignation at the conduct pursued by Messrs. Colhoun and Milne—conduct deserving the reprotration 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 question 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 mortgage, 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.  By the ,last accounts from Jamaica, fever was prevalent at Kingston, as well as at Port Royal. El Erpecador (Madrid paper) says everything is prepared for the marriage of the Queen with the son of Don 'Carlos.  The price of bread in Paris, durinz the second fort. night in September, stood fixed, the first quality, at 36c, per kilograme, and the second at 28c.  'The Queen and King of Portugal are making eacur•sions amidst gratifying proofs of loyalty. The gentry appear to escort them dressed in the costume of their "ancestors.  The Baron Achille de Maynard, aged 25 years, owner of a fine fortune, a successful poet and author, and only a fortnight married, committed suicide, about three weeks ago, by throwing himself from one of the towers of Notre anne, at Path.  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.
