      lingtm , " This stupid ast has created a groat deal of disagreeable feeling . It was particularly ungracious si the present moment , when ciritttiesan being larished upon our fellow countrymen in this town to an extent which ' would arouse some feelings of jeaioQsy in the mind * of any other people but the French . I may meDtion as au instance of the extent of these civilities that the grand ball on Tuesday at the Theatre was very generally -wished to be girenas a pubiie affairr ixi which case the Garde Nat ienale and French residents would have largely availed themselves of it ; bat it was eventually decided to restrict it to Invited company , and the

      tickets , < 7 raf « , of courBe , have beea , with a gallantry purely Jbreneh , most lavishly distributed amongst the EDglwh risitors . The / eVei and rrjoicings have been splendidly kept up , and though ererybody was jolly , everybody was sober . Amongst the prizeB awarded wez « the following : —To Calais , for lapompe , their denotation being the most numerous ; to St . Omer , for music ; to the Engineers , for belle tenese , or soldier-like- appearance ; and to Lille for having come from the greatest distance . Nearly twenty person ? , implicated in the riot , on the occasion of the ball at the theatre , have been arrested , and amongst them are several Englishmen .

      —Correspond-Chbia . —Immediately after the fall of the Bogue Forte , the city of Canton was evacuated by all who could afford to leave , taking with them their families and property , and when the Abkar left , China , street and business part of the suburbs were deserted , shops closed , and scircdy any one to be seen . On the news of the attack upon the Bogue reaching Pekia the emperor ordered three imperial commissioners ( one a near relative ) to proceed to Canton , and to exterminate the English , swearing ia his edict , that both powers could not stand , and one or the other must conquer or perish . Keshea was ordered in chains to the capital to be tried as a traitor , for having degraded himself , so muob as to meet the plenipotentiary or to listen to

      the cession of Hong L . ong . Two of the most important characters reached Canton in time to behold the success of the British arms , aud to sign the trace , aod to sanction a temporary trade . Captain Elliott w » b at Canton , protected by a military guard , waiting the arrival of Yishan , the Emperor ' s nephew , who was hourly expected , and who would be compelled , by force of necessity , to sanction the arrangements made by his colleagues . Foot menof-war are stationed in the Macao passage , above Canton , three a few miles below , and six at Whampoa . About the 1 st of June , the fbet would go north again , to make another demonstration upon

      the capital , Pekia . The loss of the Chinese in the various engagements was estimated a ' . 2 , 500 or 3 , 000 men , and about 800 pieces of caonon . The Chinese Admiral , Kevrang , fell in defence of the Bo « ue Forts , as did two other mandarins of high rank . The day after the fall of the Bo ^ ue Forte rewards were offered for the capture or destruction of British ships : 100 , 000 dollars for a lineof-battle-ship , X > , 0 C 0 dollars for a steamer , 50 , 000 dollars for the Admiral or Captain Elliot , if taken alive , and 30 , 009 dollars for either -of their heads . A large encampment of Chinese troops -was visible from the factories , at a little distance from Canton , and the number ws > s daily increasing .

Of the several mporiam measures before the legislative assemblies of the United States—they are in a more advanced state , but none of them have actually passed yet . The trial ei M'Leod still agitated the public , and a correspoBdence had passed between Secretary Webster and Governor-Seward , the Secretary using his endeavours to have the prisoner brought into the Federal Court , but had failed . His trial will comeon-ea

      the 19 th of September . We may observe , however , that the 'best informed persons are of opinion that there is not the Blightesi danger of his execution in the event -ef a oonv > ciion , and that there is no apprehension ef a rupture .

      Hoax . —Daring the late Glasgow election , a . publican resident'in the suburbs , received a letter by the post , pn ^ parting to have issued from tke Whig candidate , authorising him to keep -open house till the election was over . The laodlacd was of course in extscies ; threw open his doors , spread his tables with his best viands , and called on every paeeiag Whig voter to come and eat and drink as much as he pleased . At the close of the election he went to the Whig Committee-room , aad presented to ihe candidate a bill as heavy as oae of Dr . Philpotts ' g pamphlets , or Sir James Graham ' s speeches ; when , lol to bis inexpressible astonishment he learned-ihat the letter-was a forgery ! He has since been all but broken-hearted , and hates the very mention of the word ** Whig" as much as the Devil is said to hate holy water .

Serjeant BortoaoftheT division , having reason to believe that a well-known character , named > Collyer , had been concerned in the robbery , traced him to Hounslow , and from thence to Cobham , Serrey , where he succeeded in apprehending him , and on st arching him found the duplicate

      of the watch in his pocket . On Monday he was conveyed before the petty sessions at Petham , and fully committed to Newgate for tritl . While awaiting the arrival of a cart to convey him to Newgate , he was allowed to remain in the bench-room on the ground-floor . of the inn , the windows of which , owing to the crowded state of the room , were wide ODen , when , watching a favourable opportunity , he jumped out of-one of the windows , and bounded with the speed of a deer across the . country . Inspector Otwajf , of the T division , And Inspector Dowsing , of the W division , who were both present ,

      immediately mounted their horses a&d ^ galloped off in pursuit , followed by a number of policemen and other persons , wfaen after a severe run £ be prisoner took refuge in Hanwartb Park , the seat of Mr . Henry Perkins , ihe brewer , whose demesne being closely wooded , for some time afforded him a secure shelter from his pursuers . The police , however , immediately divided themselves into small parties and scoured the wood , and ultimately the prisoner was discovered in z high tree , and after uoch difficulty got down , whsn he was instantly handcuffed aad brought back U > feltham , whence he was conreyed to Newgate .

      Frightful Accidett . — On Wednesday sight , between aine and teu o ' slock , another of those dreadful accidents to which all are so liable who venture in the ricketty swings and " torn overs" at fairs , occurred to a young married woman of the name of Esther Bonsey . On the afternoon in question , the unfortunate woman , accompanied by her husband and a party of friends , proceeded to Camberwell fair , and , after visiting the shows , < fec , determined upon getting into one of the swings for a ride . The party accordingly went into one , and at their own request it was propelled to the greatest height the machine would allow . In this way the swing had been going on for EevenI minutes , when Mrs . Bonsey suddenly rose from her seat , and at the instant of the highest elevation , she was pitched oat head

      foremost to the ground , a fall of at least twenty or thirty feet . The violence with which she fell was dreadful , and the screams of those in the swing alarmed all those who beard them . As soon as pos-Bible the machine was stopped , and the poor woman was lifted from the ground . She was perfectly insensible , and was bleeding profusely from the mouth and tars . She was conveyed most promptly to Guy's Hospital , where it was ascertained she was suffering from & very severe fracture of the skull She now lies in that institution without hope of recovery . It could not be ascertained whether she had been seized with giddiness , or that it had been caused in a spirit offoplbardinesa , she being ' at the time ia ft state of exoifement , but not arising from any excess of drinking .

      Attacking a Judge . —The Chester Chronicle has brought some charges against Lord Abinger , when on the North Wa es Circuit , which his Lordship ' s friends will of course prove to be incorrect and unjust , if they are so . The impression made is , that " neither suitors , lawyers , nor juries wish to see him again in the capacity of Judge . " The grievance complained of is thus stated : — He presided at Nisi Prius ; 17 causes were entered , three of which were special juries . It was obvious to every one that he bad determined to gallop through the cause-list in one day , if it were within the range of possibility . Things went on smoothly enough in disposing of the undefended causes ; but when there was any symptom of anything likely to require a little patience ,

      his Lordship became most injudiciously impatient . Exaaiples u « cited ; this is one of them : — " In the last special jury cause , he was aware that the summonses were only being served that day ; that raase was called at eight o ' clock at night also , in order to enable him to nonsuit on the statement of the plaintiff ' s counsel , without patting himself to the fatigue of trying the issue . On the list being called , not oae special juryman answered . In a moment after , one came into the court ; and , when his Lordship was reminded of it by the defendant ' s counsel , he abruptly asked " if judges were to wait the pleasure of jurymen , " and ordered the court t * be adjourned in-* iantcr . " Mr . Justice Erskine had a heavy criminal calendar , including five indictments for murder .

      Lord Abinger gave nim one day , and " certainly disposed of the criminal business that came before him most satisfactorily . " But Mr . Justice Erskine was detained at Chester by the criminal business six days after the Chief Baron departed , sitting each day from eight in the morning till ten at night , at an enormous additional expense to the county . The Chester paper adds— ' We do not think it at all becoming in a judge to be tiras t&lking of his time , as if it was given to , instead of being paid for by , the public . Judges are sent tbe circuits to discharge the gaols and to dispose of tbe civil matters at issue beiween the subjects . They are the servants , not the censors , of the public ; and it would be more to the public benefit if they would consider not h « w quick , but hovr well , they can do their duty . "

      Loan Waldegkave and Ca-wain Duff . —Theee innocent " lambs , " it appears , are suffering imprisment for the deeds of others . Mr . F y llitt Duff , of the 34 th regiment , has forwarded copies of a memorial to her Majesty , for the liberation of his brother from the King ' s Bench prison , to the editor of tbe Morning Post . Mr . Follitt Duff says , " My brother is believed by the world t-o be guilty of a most brutal assault ; of this he is entirely innocent , and the object I have in view is to clear his character « f « foul stain . The parties who really committed the offence are Sir WiUoughby Wolston Dixie , barooet , and Mr . John Bell , the lately elected member for the borough of Thirsk , who h&ve hitherto eluded detection , and almost suspicion , and my brother has ,

      unfortunately , from carelessness on bis part , and m-iaminagement of his defence , been made their scapegoat . Sir W . Dixie was , according to his own admission , the person who beat tbe policeman on the head with a heavy stick , and Mr . J . Bell was the person who kicked him in the chest . I have invited them severally by letter to come forward , take upon themselves the consequences of their own misdeeds , and clear my bro&er ' s character ; but this they have both positively refused to do . I have , therefore , no course left me , having in view the vindication of my brother ' s character , than to submit the facts of the case to thi judgment of the public . " Captain Dnff ' s memorial thus explains the affair : — " Your petitioner , together with the Earl of Waldegr&ve , tbe Hon . Robert Grimston , Mr . Bell , of Thirsk ; Sir

      Willoughby Wolston Dixie , and Mr . Connolly , of the £ th Dragoon Guards ^ being six in number , ) attended Epsom races on the 4 th of June , 14 U 0 , and afterwards returned and dined with the said £ irl Waldegrave , at his houseAt Strawberry-hill , where your petitioner is obliged to admit that much wine had been taken . After dinner it was proposed to go to Kingston fair , and about eleven o ' clock the whole of the said party departed together in a hired carriage , for that place ; and after having been in the town of Kingston , and as they were returning towards Strawberry-thill , the carriage stqpped opposite the Swan Inn , at Hampton Wick , act ! ih « whole party got ont . Your , petitioner went across the road to a house ( which it has since appeared was

      occupied by a woman who keeps a mangle , ibut which fact your petitioner did not then know ) to read the signboard over the s&id house , hut your petitioner did not try to open the door of the said house , as La * been erroneously supposed by the witnesses for the prwecntion . At this time police Serjeant Churchill caiae on horseback from towards Kingstoc-bridge , and Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie went up to him , and began a conversation with him , and -shortly afterwards your petitioner . and the Eail Waldegtave joined the said Sir Willoughby Wolsion Dixie , who had £ rst begun the conversation , using some abusive language towards the police Serjeant ; but jour petitioner positively asserts that neither himself nor said Earl Waldegrave used any abusive or o&msive

      language whatever towards the police serjeant , nor did either of them interfere with him , except that while speaking to him , yourfetitioner , inadvertently , and without any offensive intention , laid his hands on the bridle of the police Serjeant ' s horse , wkich the police serjeant desired your petitioner not to do , and your petitioner instaxtiy < deeisted . At this tuae John Whc&Uey Uhe prosecutor ) came up , and Serjeant Churchill directed him ( Wheatley ) to throw his light vpoa your petitioner and the rest of the party , and to go to the carnage . and look for the owner ' s naoe ; upon which the Earl Waldegrave , your petitioner , and other parties , went towards the carriage witk the intention and for the purpose oi setting off and . going home ; and wien Charles John

      Whe&tley attempted to look at the name on the carriage , the Earl Waldegrave pushed faim aside , whereupon Serjeant Churchill called to the said Charles John Wheatley , "Take them into custody , " or words to that effect ; and thereupon Wheatley seized the Earl Waldegrave by the eoliar , and , after a short scuffle , thzew his Lordship down upon the wound . Your petitioner , thereupon , assisted with Mr . Grimston , in getting the eaid Earl Waldegrave oat « f the hands of Wheatley , by . opening or aoslenching the hand of the said Charles John Wheatley , but no blow whatever was fitruck by any of the party . When the Earl wm released , the policeman advised the whole of the party to go home quietly , and your petitioner and his trisaathe Hon . Robert Grimstonconsidering

      , , such adyke proper , determined to follow it , and they both joined in such advice ; but finding an indisposition in the rest of the party to follow such recommendation to leave them , and immediately went away toward * Strawberry-hill on foot , together with the said Robert Grimston , and left the place entirely , your petitioner ' s other four friends remaining behind with the carriage , and in parley with the policeman . Your petitioner and Mr . Grimston having proceeded ( walking leisure ];) about a mile on the road between Hampton Wick and Strawberry . hill , were overtaken by the carriage , the said Earl , Mr . Connolly , and Mr . Bell being therein , and Sir Willonghby Wolston Dixie bewg on the box , and by them your petitioner and his friend , the faid iir . Grimston , were

      informed of the violence which had taken place , and thfi injuries which bad been inflicted on Wheatley , after your petitioner would have been quite unconscious of any violence whatever having been used towards the person of Wheatley , or any other person . Your petitioner is anxione to have the facts investigated , am although he will not and has not for a moment denied the extent of his share in the unfortunate transaction , yet he , at present , stands in the eyes of his relations and friends a person guilty of the whola facts alleged against the most guilty parties by tbe prosecutor and his witnesses ; and for these reasons , and the hope that £ ome commutation of punishment may take place , your petitioner humbly prays for £ further and fuller inquiry , by which it can be made cic&rly to appear who were the guilty perpetrators of an pffenoe for which your petitioner is now Buffering .

The prisoner accounted tor her possession of the article , by stating that she had been much attached to a sailor who used to stop at the Sailor ' s Home , who was a member of tbe Teetotal Society , and on hia going to sea he left it with her as » " keepsake , " expressing at the same time a hope that she would , during his voyage , lead so abstemious a life as to prepare her for taking the pledge herself on hia return . The prisoner added that such was the store she set by the medal , that she would as soon part with her life as with it . She was ultimately dis charged .

      Ambn at Fault . —There was a slight interruption in St . Stephen ' s church , Coleman-street , a few Sundays ago , while the Rev . Mr . Pratt was preaching . The clerk , who happened to be one of the criers in the Central Criminal Court , and has stentorian voice , imagined himself , by some means or other , in the performance of his duty under the noses of " My Lords the Judges , " and hearing a door in the gallery creak , called ont , with as moon energy as he oould , Silence in the court , " to the astonishment of the congregation , who all turned their eyes to the poor , fellow , and with great difficulty restrained a Jaugh . It is said that the same man , upon a former occasion , when he was in the Central Criminal Court , imagined himself in St . Stephen ' s , Coleman-street , and when the Common-Serjeant sentenced % boy to be whipped for pot-stealing solemnly terminated the case by crying " Amen . "

      A Little Information for Grandpapas . ——A wealthy and eccentric old gentleman , named Green , living in tbe Bagnigge-welts-road , appeared before Mr . Combe , at Hatton-Garden , on Saturday , at the instance of Messr ? . Hellts and Stevens , overseers of the parish of Clerkenwell , to show cause why he refused to maintain three of his grandchildren , of the respective ages of two , five , and seven . Mr . Selby , the vestry-clerk , said that the three children were , unfortunately , orphans and paupers in the workhouse of the parish he represented . A grandfather , in the situation in life of the defendant , was liable under the New Poor Law , to maintain children under suoh circumstances , and the guardians and overseers now called upon the magistrates to

      make an order upon Mr . Green for that purpose . Mr . Combe— " What sum do they cost the parish per weekt" Mr . Selby—** Thirteen shillings and sixpence . It is proper I should mention that the defendant has made an offer to us of four shillings per week , but that of course , we cannot listen to . " Defendant—** I am not able to pay more . " ( Cries of " Oh ! nonsense 1 " and a laugh . ) Mr . Paris , one of the guardians , said he knew Mr . Green to be a very rich man . He was formerly proprietor of the Merlin ' s Cave , which he let for £ 2 , 000 in hard cash . Defendant— " But who knows that I didn ' t pay all that away . " Mr . Paris— " I know it , and also know that you have built several large houses in the Bageigge-wells-road . Defendant— * You can ' t say they are not incumbered . " Mr . Paris— " I am satisfied they are not . " Defendant— " I am nearly seventy years of age , and have worked hard for the property

      1 now posses * , and it is too much to diminish it in such a aanner . " Mr . Paris— ' * The terms proposed cannot be acceded to . Tbe parish will meet you in auy thing that is fair . " Defendant— " Well , I'll pay five shillings a-week . " Mr . Combe— " Without you prove to me that you are not a wealthy man , I shall make you pay more than that . " Mr . Paris" Perhaps if the case is adjourned for a week , the defendant may make some offer which the parish will accept . " Defendant— " Well , I'll spring another sixpence . " Mr . Combe—" Perhaps it will be better that the case be adjourned . It is a very fair proposition . If , however , the matter come ? before me again , it will be well far ne now to tell the defendant that he must " spring" a good deal more before I can agree with hia . But what say you to thisi Will you take the children out of the workhouse ! Defendant ( lifting np his stick , and hobbling out of the office— " No , by G—d , 1 won ' t . " ( Laughter . )

      A Clergyman fined Five Pounds for Drcn-KE 5 WES . S amd Assault . —Two persons of respectable appearance , whose names and offences stood in the Police-charge-Bheet thus—William Sim , of Old Ford , Bow , no occupation , charged with being drunk , and assaulting the complainant , James Tilsley , in the Commercial-road ; and Richard Jackson , of Hattonhouse , Old Ford , no occupation , charged with attempting to rescue Mr . Sica trom the custody of tbe police , appeared before Mr . Henry , at Lambethstreet polico-cfflbe , on Saturday , on tho above charges , and were fined £ 5 each . The Magistrate at the time had no idea who or what-the parties were beyond what they themselves represented , but from information that had afterwards reached the police , one of them , Mr . Sim , is fouud to be a

      Clergyman belonging to the Established Church , and was recently , if not at present , Curate of the parish oi Bow . Tbe evidence adduced against the Rev . Gentleman aad bis friend was as follows ;—James Tirsley , a ^ hip-ripger , deposed that on the preceding Saturday night , between the hours of nine and ten o ' clock , himself , his wife , and two brothers-in law , were proceeding along the Cecamercial-road , and came up with both the prisoners and two or three other gentlemen , and without his , or any of his party ,-givin £ the slightest provocation to the gentleman , Air . Sims knocked off his tat . He picked it up as soon as he could , and one of his brothers-inlaw telling him he should not submit to such treatment . he »( witness ) walked uj » to Mr . Sim , and asked

      what < he had knocked his hat off for . The prisoner instead of saying a word in palliation of the offence , struck him a violent blow on Che bridge of the nose , which instantly felled him to the ground , and while lying in the road one of hie companions fell upon him and kicked him so severely tbat he was Btili labouring under their effect ? . On his getting up , Mr . Sim was preparing to strike him a second time , but his wife kept him away until a policeman came , and his assailant , on seeing the constable , took to his heels and fan off as fast as he could . Mrs . Tilsley , a decent-looking female , corroborated the whole ot her husband ' s testimony . Foiice- ^ onstable James Sorrell , K il » , stated that on Saturday night , about half-past nine o ' clock , he was returning home from

      market with his wife , and while proceeding along the Commercial-road , he observed several persons on the opposite side to him , and hearing a sort of scuffle , he crossed to see what was the matter . Just as he had reached them he eaw Mr . Sim , who was held back by the last witness , attempt to strike the complainant , and wag called on to take him into custody . He turned round to give a piece of meat , whioh he was carrying from the market , to his wi'e , and just as he did so Mr . Sim started off as last as he oould . He ( witness ) followed him aud owing to his running with great force against a maa coming in au opposite direction he ( witness ) came up with and secured him , near the White-horse street turnpike . On bringing him back a number of

      persons were collected , and those in the crowd who had witnessed the conduct of Mr . Sim described it a .-very violent , and saying he had used the complainant sluunefully , exclaimed much against him . The complaiaaat then gave him in charge for the assault , and while taking him to the llile-end station-house , Mr . Jackeon attempted to rescue him , and for this he also was secured and taken to the station-house . Mr . Henry Cto Mr . Sim)— " In the first place , what is your occupation f" Kev . Mr . Sim—** I ' m a classical teacher . " Mr . Henry—** You have heard the charge made against you ; what have you to say to it V Her . Air . Sim— " Why , the fact , Sir , is that 1 had been dining with a party ef friends , and as we were proceeding along the Commercial-road together

      an oainibug was stopped for one ef the party , and this man ( complainant ) , in passing , made use oi " holloa , fat guts I" in reference to the stout gentleman , one of my friends , and considering the expression highly improper , 1 own 1 knocked his hat , off : but 1 have no recollection whatever of having done any thing else to him . " Mr . Henry— " What have you to say about running away V Mr . Sim—I acknowledge I ran away ; but my reason for so doing was that I was a Btranger in town , and I did not like to be taken up by the police . " Mr . Henry to Mr . Jackson— "What are you . Sir , by business or profession ! " Mr . Jackson— " I am of no profession , but live with my father , who is a man of property . " Mr . Henry— " Well , what have you to say to the charge of attempting to rescue your companion from the custody of the constable ?'" Mr . Jackson— " J did not attempt to rescue him . All I did was to go

      up and take hold of my friend ' s arm to walk along with him to the station-house ? and if this can be called an attempt to rescue , it is of so slight a character as scarcely to deserve the name . Had I in tended to rescue my friend , this ia not the way I'd go about it . I would have knocked down the policeman at once . " Mr . Henry— "I must say that this is a very bad case , and persons in your station of lift should nave known much better than conduct yourselves in Booh a manner . You must , therefore , paj a penalty of £ 5 each ; the one for the assault , ami the other for the intended rescue , or stand committed for two months . The parties in a short time paid tho money and were discharged . It appeared that the Rev . Gentleman was so drunk when taken to the station-hoase , that the Inspector on duty refused to admit Wm to bail fw two aours , durfoff which fcme be fras looked np .

      British Marinees . —On Monday , the l « th inst ., the Prince Albert ship-mates met at the house of Mr . Thomas Hyde , Sun Inn , Meadow-lane , in this town , when upwards of forty new mates joined the fleet . A dinner was provided by the worthy host and hostess in their usual excellent style , and the evening was spent in uninterrupted harmony and good fellowship . The fleet is in a moat prosperous state . A Curious Adventubb . —Between two and three o ' clock on the afternoon of Thursday , a good deal of excitement was created in the neighbourhood of Bethlem Hospital , by one of the female patients escaping out of that establishment . In the southeast wing of the building are placed the female

      patients , and in the rear of the wing is a large piece of ground , which is separated from the highway by a high wall , and along which , and next to the highway , runs a deep ditch , whioh is partially filled with water . Just before three o ' clock on the above afternoon , two persons , one of whom , a soldier in the foot guards , were passing along , when their attention was drawn by observing a girl , about 18 years of age , walking along on the parapet of the wall , and making towards St . ( ieorge ' s-road . Convinced from the appearance , as well as the dress , of the unfortunate creature , that she was one of the inmates

      belonging to the establishment , they went down by the side of the ditch , and upon her coming opposite to where they stood she paused for a minute , and then made a spring towards the soldier , who caught her in his arms . Directly the poor girl alighted upon her feet , she flung her arms around the neck of the soldier , and exclaimed , "I have got you at last 1 " and began kissing him . Before the soldier could recover from the confusion which this unexpected renonvre occasioned , two of the keeper ^ who had become aware of the escape of the unfortunate maniac , came up , and after a good deal of trouble succeeded in releasing the soldier from an embrace which nearly choked him .

      Incaution and Inhumanity . —On Monday evening the Rkhm'nd steamer , on her way to London from Fwickenhamait , ran down a puut in which were ihree gentlemen fishing .

      entrance . A gentleman belonging to the firm of Collins and Downs , brewers , offered a room attached to the brewhouse , which was accepted . On the arrival of the Richmond at the bridge , the captain and mate wore taken mto custody , and have been committed for manslaughter , notwithstanding the Coroner ' s jury have agreed 10 a verdict of " accidental death , " with a deodand of £ 20 on the steam-boat ; at the same time they wished to impress upon the mind of Captain Undy to be more cautious for the future .

      Murder at Sea . —Havrb , August 14 . —The melancholy fate of the sixteen passengers of the Wm . Brown had not been effaced from our sad remem brances , nor our indignation lessened that such enormities have been allowed to pass , under the plea of " necessity , " without a public investigation , when another and more horrid murder , without the plea of " necessity" being advanced to justify it , is made known in Havre ; and 1 much fear the perpetrator of this bloody act is likely to escape . The sufferers of the William Brown were poor creatures—British subjects—seeking under a friendly fl » g , shelter in a foreign country , where they might earn a livelihood by their daily labour . The new victim was a British sailor engaged under the protection of another

      friendly flag to perform his voyage from Monte Video to Havre . We shall by and by be enabled to ascertain what is the protection of * 'friendly flags " afforded to British passengers and British eailors . The ship Leopoldma Rosa , belonging to Monte Video , left that place in the month of May last , bound for Havre . The crew was composed of English and American seamen , the captain and the mate were Frenchmen ; there were sixteen passengers on board ; the men stipulated for coffee for breakfast and a full ration of meat . They had not been at sea more than » week when the meat was reduced to half allowance , and two sardines were substituted for their coffee . Two of the men remonstrated , and were placed by the captain in irons ,

      but liberated after a confinement of three days ; they were marked , however , as objects for annoyance . On theIGih of May , the captain , after abusing one of these two , an Englishman , named James Diokson , struck him ; a scuffle ensued ; the third mate took a handspike , and attempting to strike the seaman , missed him , but struck the captain on the head . The men then came up , and the row was put an end to , the man , Dickson , retiring with the remainder of the men to the forecastle . The captain retired to his cabin , with the mates , and having provided himself with a sword , and given the mates a pistol each , came on deck ; not finding Dickson , he west to the top of the ladder of the forecastle , asked if he was there , and being answered in the

      ai&irmathe , sprung down , and instantly ran the man through the body three times . He then came on deck , and desired the men to bring the fellow up , they replied they could not , as his bowels were hanging out , and he was bleeding away . The surgeon of the ship came forward for the purpose of assisting tbe puor wretch , but the captain refused to allow him to touch him or render him the least assistance . Tho miserable man soon died , and three hours after his body was thrown overboard . On the arrival of the vessel in Havre a report of what had occurred reached the police , the captain was arrested and sent to prison ; the passengers were examined , and their depositions taken by the Procurer du Roi , who reported the case to the

      Procureur-Ueneral . Strange to relate , an order was immediately sent down for the instant liberation of the captain , on the ground " that no notice could be taken by the French authorities of any act committed at Bea under the flag of a foreign power . " The captain was set at liberty . The English Consul having examined the crew , who , with the passengers , declare there was no attempt at mutiny aad agree in the details of the murder , demanded the recommittal of the captain , the murdered man being a British subject . This , as well as a copy of the depositions of the passengers taken before the Procurer du Roi , has been refused , and the murderer , is walking about the streets with complete impunity . At the Thames Police , London , on Saturdav .

      Richard Henry Langley , a tall and gentlemanlylooking man , late second mate of the ship Leopoldina Rosa , on her voyage from Monte Video to Havre de Grace , was brought before Hr . Broderip , charged with being accessory to the wilful murder of James Dixou , an English seaman , on the 16 th of May last , on the high seas , within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England . Several of the seamen of the vessel spoken of were examined at great length . Their evidenco went to show that the seamen had frequently complained of a deficiency of food on board , and that they were also frequently set to do unnecessary labour . That on the 16 th of May . deceased , after themen as it was alleged bad been called upon to execute unnecessary orders , was told by the second mate to "bear a hand and clap on a gale . Deceased said he would go to the captain and ask him if he was to be humbugged in that sort of manner . The captain swore at the deceased , and told him to

      obey bis ( the eaptainV ) officers ; a scuffle arose , in which blows were exchanged between the captain and the deceased . The former said he had been struck with a knife by the latter , who went below . He was followed by the captain , who stabbed him several times . The second mate , it was Btated , was standing over the hatchway at tbe time , and that when the doctor attended deceased the second mate saidhe should do nothing for him , and sung out , "he should die like a dog ; the G—d d—d — let him die like a dog . " Aftet th « inqvriTy had lasted seven hours , Mr . Broderip said he felt it to be his duty to remand the prisoner . Mr . Pelham said ¦ the question was , whether the magistrate could interfere at all . The prisoner , who was 1 represented to be . » British subject , was an American , and he was not amenable to our laws . Mr . Broderip said he should not part with the prisoner yet ; he shouldtreat him as a British subject at present at all events , and remand him to prwpn toi farther examination , until Wednesday .
