      RfsgttnJ * Thig stnpid act has created a great deal of disagreeable feeling . It wu particularly un-« - » cioBB at the present moment , when civilities are oeiag lavished upon our fellow countrymen ia this town to an estent which wcnld arouse some feelings of jealousy in the minds of any other people but the French . I may mention as &n instance of the exteat of these civilities that the grand "ball on Tuesday at the Theatre was very generally wished to be given as a public affair , in ' which ease the Garde Nationale and French residents would have largely availed themselves of it ; but it was eventually decided to restrict it to invited company , and the

      tickets , antis , of course , have been , with a gallantry purely French , most lavishly distributed amongBt the English visitors . The fetes and rejoicings have been splendidly keptuprand though everybody was jolly , everybody was sober . Amongst the prizes awarded -were the following : —To Calais , for la pompe , their deputation being the most numerous ; to St . Umer , for music ; to the Engineers , for belle tencse , or soldier-like appearance ; and to Lille for having come from the greatest distance . Nearly twenty persons , implicated in the riot , on the occasion of the ball at the theatre , have been arrested , and amongst them are 3 svera ! Englishmen . — Correspondent .

      Chisa . —Immediately after the fall of the Bogue Forts , the city of Canton was evacuated by all who could afford . to leave a taking with them their families and property , and yrken the Abkar left , China street and business part of the suburbs were deserted , shops closed , and scarcely any one to be seen . On the n ^ ws of the attack upoa the Bogue reaching Pekin the emperor ordered three imperial commissioners ( one a near relative ) to proceed to Canton , and to exterminate the Eaglish , swearing in hi 3 edict , that both powers could noi stand , and one or the other mast conquer or perish . Keshen was ordered in chains to the capital to be tried as a traitor , for having degraded himself , so much as to meet the plenipotentiary or to listen to

      the cession of Hong Kong . Two of the most important characters reached Canton in time to beho'd the success of the British arms , aud to sign the truce , and to sanction a temporary trade . Captain Elliott was at Canton , protected by a military guard , waiting the arrival of Yi ; han , 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 . Four menof-war are stationed in the Macao passage , above Canton , three & few miles , below , a . nd sis . at Whampoa . About the 1 st of ' June , the S- ? et would go north again , to make another demonstration upon

      the capital , Pekin . The loss of the Chinese in the various engagements was estimated a : 2 , 500 or 3 000 men , and a " bnut 809 pieces of cannon . The Chinese Admlrsl , Kewaxg , fell in defence of the Bogue Forts , as did two other mandarins of high rank . The day after the fall of tbe Bogue Forts rewards were offered for the capture or destruction of British ships : 100 , € 00 dollars for a lineof-battle-ship , 10 , 000 ' dollars For a steamer , 50 , 006 dollars for the Admiral or Captain Elliot , if taken alive , and 50 , 000 dollars for euLer of their hea-ds . A large encampment of Chinese troops was visible from the factories , at & little distance from Canton , and the number was daily increasing .

      L > - ; tbb Stitls ^ xd Caxhu . —The Great Western , Captain Hosken , arrived in . Bristol road on Wednesday morning , after an unprecedented passage of twelve days ten hours from port to port , being the shortest on record ; she brings seventy passengers . Ot' the several important measures before the legislative -assemblies of the United S : ates—they are ina mere advanced state , but none of them have actually passed yet . The trial of M'Leod still agitated the pnblie , and a correspondence had passed between Secretary Weester and Governor Seward , the Secretary u = ing bi 3 endeavours to have the prisoner brought into tke Federal Court , but had failed , Hia trial will come-on on

      the ISih of September . We may observe , bpweTer , that the best informed persons are of opinion that there is not the slightest danger of his execution in the erent of a conviction , and that there is no apprehessioa of a rupture . From Canada ti » e dates are from Montreal and Kingston to tke 4 : h .

      H ^ ax . —Darin ? the late Glasgow election , a publicanTresldent in the suburbs , received a letter by the post , ^ UTportins to hav e issued from tlie " Wniji can-&da . te , authorising h '» to keep open house till the election was over . The landlord was of course in extacies ; threw open his doors , spread his tables with hi ? best viands , and called on erery passing Whig voter to came and eat Mid drink as much as he pleased . At the close of the election he went to the Whig Committee-room , and presented to the candidate a bill as heavy as one of Dr . Philpotts ' s pamphlets , or Sir James Graham ' s speeches ; when , ] o ! to his inexpressible . astonishment lie learned that 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 Davil is sa-id to hate holy water .-

      Committal , Escape , a . nd Re-captcee of a Bueguk . —On tbe morning of Saturday laai information was received at ihe station-house of the" ? division in tbe town of Siaines , that on the previous n ; u ; ht the premises of Mr . E . Carruihers , of that town , had been bur ^ lariouoiy entered , and that the thievco had been disturbed in their proceedings , having only stolen a silver watch , a tea-caddy , a pair of sugar-tongs , a glass su £ ar-bas . n , and a rotewood workbox . Serjeant Barion of the T division , having reason to believe that a well-known character , named Colly er , had been concerned ia the robbery , traced him to Hoimsioiv , and from thence to Cobhaa ,-Surrey , where he succeeded in apprehending his , and on ffarching him found the duplicate

      of thew £ tch in his pocket . On Mo : iJay he was conveyed before the petty s& ^ sions at Fe tham , and fully committed to Zs ' evrgaie for trial . While awaiting the arrival of a cart to e » BTey him to Nevrgaie , he was all&wed ' to remain in tie bench-room on the ground-floor of the inn , the windows of which , owing to the crowded state of thu room , were wide oten ,-when , watching a favourable opportunity , lie jumped out -of one of the wi&Uowa , and bounded with the sf eeil of a deer across the country . Inspector Otwsy ., of tne T division , aiiii Inspector Dowiine , of the T division , who were both present

      immediately ssovmied their horses and jjailopui off in pursuit , followed by a number of policemen and other persons , when after a severe run the prisoner tooK refuge ia Hanwarth Park , the seat of ilr . Henry Perkins , the brewer , \ rhore demesne being closeiy troocied .-for tome time afforded him a secure shelter from his pursuers . Tee police , hower-er , immediately divided themstivts into small parlies and scoured the w « od , and ultimately tbe prisoner was discovered in z high tree , and atter much difficulty got down , when he wa 3 instantly handcuffed and brought back to Feltham , whence he was conveyed to New ^ aie .

The defend-! ant now gave the name of Thomas Williams , and the I evidejioe against him was , that on the same morning , j about two o'clock , he knocked violently at the door i of Mr . Cooper , Yv'hittlebury-Etreet , Somers Town . i Mr . C , who was awoke by the noise , looked out of the window , and requested to know of defendant v ? hat he wanted , when he replied that he wished to be let i into "Mb room , for he was nred , and should be glad to j go to bei He was told that he " didn ' t lodge i there , " and , after much persuasion , he moved

      away . In the course of a quarter of an hour he returned , and again knocked with all h . H might , when Mr , Cooper , who thought it high time that a stop Ehould be pot to the annoyance , went down , and opened the doer , a ^ su rin ^ " defendant a second time that he was no locger of his , and telling him that unless he made his exit peaceabiy he wouid be provided with a lodging by ihe police ; he struck at the complaiii&nt , bus mused his aim , and at length the constable , Boyce , came up and took him in charge . On the way to the station-house he was very violent , and belaboured him ( Bojce ) over the head aud shoulders wiih a stout walking stick which he had in his hand . The defendant pleaaed drmtkenness as zn excuse for his conduct , and said he had no recollection of hariDg conducted himself in the manner stated . Mr . Long , considering the case to be one Gf a most outrageous nature , convicted the defendant in the full penalty oi £ j . The money was paid .

      Fbightfui . Aocidekt . — On "Wednesday sight , between nine and ten o ' clock , another of those dreadful accidents to which all are bo liable wher venture in the ricketty swings and * 'turn overs" at fairs , occurred to a young married woman of the name of Esther Bonsey . On ihe afternoon in . question , the unfortunate woman , - accompanied by her husband and a party of friends , proceeded to CamberweJl fair , and , after visiting the shows , &c , 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 several minutes , when Mrs . Boneey suddenly rose from her seat , and at the inBtant 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 heard them . As soon as possible the machine was stopped , and the poor woman was lifted from the ground . She was perfectly insensible , and was bleeding profusely from the month and sars . She was conveyed most promptly to Guy ' s Hospital , where it was ascertained she was suffering from a very severe fracture of the ekull . * 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 of foolhardifless , she being at the time in a state of excitement , but not arising from any excess of drinking .

      Attacki . vc a Judge . —The Chester Chronicle has brought some charges against Lord Abinger , when on the North W a ' 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 axaia 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 had determined to gallop through the causelist 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 waa any sympt-om of anything likely to require a little patience

      his Lordship became most injudiciously imp&tieDt . " Examples are cited ; this is one of them : —* ' In the last special jury cause , he was aware thav the snmmonses were only being served that day . | that cause was called at eight o ' clock at eight also , in order to enable him to nonsuit on the statement of the plaintiff ' s c junsel , without putting himself to tho fatigue of trying the issue . On the list being called , not oho special juryman answered . In a moment after , one came into the court ; and , when his Lordship was reminded of it fey thedefendant ' s couD 6 eJ , he abruptly asked if judges were to -wait the pleasure of jnrynien , " and ordered the court to be adjourned instanter . " Mr .-Justice Erskine had a heavy criminal calendar , including five indictments for murder .

      Lord Abinger gave him one day , asd certainly disposed of the criminal business that eame 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 jud ^ e to be thu 3 talking of his time , aa if it wa 3 £ iven to , instead of being paid for by , the public . Judges are sent the circuits to discharge the gaols and to dispose of the civil matters at issue between tho subject .- ? . They are the servants , not the censors , of the public ; and it would be more to the public benefit if they would consider not how quick , but how well , they can do their duty . "

      Loas Waldeghave and Captain Duff . —These innocent " lambs , " it appears , are suffering inoprisment for the deeds of others . Mr . Folliti Daff , of the 34 : hm , nnient , 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 the Morning Pod . Mr . Follitt Duff says , " My brother is believed by the world to be guilty of a mest brutal assault ; of ihb he is entirely innocent , and the obj-ct 1 hare in view is to clear his character of a foul s-. ain . The parties who really committed' the offence arc S . r Willoughby Wolston Dixie , baronet , a « d Mr . John Bell , the lately eJe « ted member for the borough of Thirsk , wuohave hitherto eluded detection , and almost suspicion , and my brother has , unfortunately , from carelessness on his part , and

      mismanagement of his defence , been made their scapegoat . Sir W . Dixie was , according to hid own admission , the person who beat the 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 , tako upon themselves the consequences of their own misdeeds , and clear my brother ' s character ; but this they hate both positively refused to do . I have , therefore , » io coar = e left me , haviDg in view the vindication of foy brother ' s character , than to submit the fa ? ts of $ fl case-to th . i judgment of the public" Cajptain DjuEa memorial thus explains the aff-ir : — " Your petitiowf , together with the Eari of . W ' a ! deprave , the Hdn . Robert Grimston , Mr . Bell , of Thirsk ; Sir Wilr ioujrhby Wolston Dixie , and . Mr . Connolly , of th . c 5 : h dragoon Guards ( being six in number , ) attended Epsom races on the 4 th of June , 1840 , und afterwards returned and dined with theeaid Eirl Wai

      degrave , at nis hou ; e at Sirayvberry-hill , where your petitioner is obliged to . admit that much wine had been taken . After dinner it was proposed to goto KiDgst-on fair , and about eleven o ' clock tho whole of the said party departed together m a hired carriage , for that place ; and after having been iu the town of Kingston , and as they were returning towards Sirawberry-hill , the carriage stopped opposue theSivan Inn , at Hampton Wick , and ih ? whole party got out . Your petitioner went across the road to a house ( which it ha ^ since appeared was occupied by a woman who keeps a mangle , but which fact your petitioner did not then know ) to nai the si ^ nbourd over t he said house , but your petitioner did no ; try to open the door of the said housu , as ha

      been erroneously supposed by the witnes : ^ es for the prosecution . Ai this time police Serjeant Churchill ca . n-e ou horseback from towards Kingston-bridge , and Sir Willoughby Wulsion Dixie went up to him , and began a conversation with him , and shortly afterwards your petitioter and the Eail Waldegravc joined the said Sir WiUoughby Wolsion Dixie , who had first begun too conversation , using gome abusive laB £ ua , Lje towards ihe police serjeam ; but your petitioner positively asserts that neither himself nor ? aid Earl Waidegrave used any abusive or offensive language whatever towards the police Serjeant , uor did eithbr of them interfere with him , except that while speaking to him , your petitioner , inadvertently , and without any offensive intention , laid his hands

      on the bridle ol the police serj ; &iit ' d horse , which the police Serjeant desired your petitioner not to do , and your petitioner instaitly dwisted . At this time John Wheatley ( the prosecutor ) came up , and Serjeant Churchill directed him ( Wheatley ) to throw k . s light upon your petitioner and the rest of the party , and to go to the carriage and look for the owner's name ; upon which the Earl Waldegrave , your petitioner , and other parties , went towards tho carriage with the intention and for tho purpose of setting off aud yoing home ; and when Charles John Wheailey attempted to look at the name on the carr iage , the Earl Waidegrave pushed him aside , whereupon Serjeant Churchill called to the said Charles John W heatley , " Take them into custody , " or words to that effect ; and thereupon Wheatley seized the Earl Waldegrave by the eollar , ami , after

      a short scuffle , threw his Lordship down upon the ground . Your petitioner , thereupon , assisted with Mr . Grimston , in getting the said Earl Waldegrave o . it of the nand 3 of Wheatley , by opening or uDclenchicg the hand of the said Charles John Wheatley , but no blow whatever was struck by any of the party . When the Earl wjs released , the policeman advised the whole of the party to go home quietly , and your petitioner and his tricno , the Hon . Robert Grimston , considering such advice proper , determined to follow it , aud they both joined in such advice ; but SndiDg an indisposition iu the rest of the party to follow such recommendation to leave them , and immediately went avray towards Strawberry-hill on foot , together wiih

      the taid Koberi Grimston , and left tne place entirely , your petitioner ' s other four friends remaining behind with the carriage , and ia parley with the policeman . Your petitioner and Mr . Grimston having proceeded ( walking leisurely ) about a mile on the road between Hampton Wick and Sirawberry-hill , were overtaken by the carriage ) the said Earl , Mr . Connolly , and Mr . Bell being therein , and £ ir Willoughby Wolston Dixie being on the bcx , and by them your petitioner and his friend , tbe said Mr .

      Amen at Fadlt . —There was a slight interruption in St . Stephen ' s church , Coleman-street , a few Sundays ago , while the Rev , Mr . Pratt waa preaching . The clerk , who happened to be one of the criers in the Central Criminal Court , and has a 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 » door in the gallery creak , called out , with as much energy as he could , " Silence in the court , " to the astonish ' ment of the congregation , who all turned their eyes to the poor fellow , and with great difficulty restrained a laugh . It is aaid that the same man , upon a former ocoasion , when he was in the Central Criminal Court , imagined himself in St .

      A Little Information for Grandpapas . A wealthy and eccentric old gentleman , named Green , living in the" Bagnigge-wells-road , appeared before Mr . Combe , at Hatton-Garden , on Saturday , at the instance of Meflsr ? . HelJis and Stevens , oreraeera of the parish of Clerkenwell , to sVtow cause why he refused to . maintain three ol bis 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 tinder such circumstances , and the guardians and overseers now called upon the magistrates to

      make au order upon Mr . Green for that purpose . Mr . Combe —• " What gum do they cost the parish per week ! " Mr . Selby—* Thirteen shillings and sixpence . It is proper I should mention that tne defendant has made an offer to us of four shillings per week , but that of course , we cannot listuu to . " Defendant— " I am not able to pay more . " ( Cries of" Oh ! nonsense ! " and a laugh . ) Mr . Paris , one of the guardians , said ho 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 . Dofendant— " But who knows that I didu ' t pay all that away . " Mr . Paris— " 1 know it , and also know that you have built several large houses in the Bagnigge-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 I now possess , and it ia too much to diminish it in

      such a manner . " Mr . Paris— " The terms proposed cannot be acceded to . The parish will meet you in any 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 tkan 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 caso be adjourned . It is a very fair proposition . If , however , the matter comes before me again , it will be well for me now to tell the defendant that he must "spring" a good deal more before I can agree with him . But what say you to this I Will you take the children out of the workhouse ? Defendant ( lifting ap hia stick , and hobbling out of the office— "No , by G—d , I won ' t . " ( Laughter . )

Sim , ia found to be a Clergy' man belonging to the Established Church , and w * s ! recently , if not at present , Curate of the parish of 1 Bow . The evidence adduced against the Rev . Gen-! tleman and his friend was as follows : —James

      Tiielcy , a ship-rigger , deposed that on the preceding ' Saturday ni ^ ht , between the hours of nine and tea , o ' clock , himself , his wife , and two brothers-iu law , were proceeding along the Commercial-road , and came up with both the prisoners and two or three other gentlemen , and without his , or any of his : Party * givi&g the slightest provocation to the gentleman , Mr . Sims knocked off his hat . He picked it up as soon as he could , and one of hia brothers-in-1 law telling him he should not submit to such treatj ment , ho ( witness ) walked up to Mr . Sim , and asked what ho had knocked his hat off for . The prisoner instead of sayine a word in palliation of the effence , struck him a violent blow on the bridge of the nose

      which iustantly felled him to the ground , and while lying in the road one of his companions fell upon him and kicked him so severely that he was still labouring under tbeir effects . On his getting up , Mr . Sim was preparing to strike him a second time , but his wifo kept him away uir . il a policeman came , and his assailant , on eeeing the constable , took to his heels and ran off as fast as he could . Mrs . Tilsley , a decent-looking female , corroborated the whole of her husband's testimony . Police-constable James Sorrell , K 110 , stated that on Saturday night , about half-past nine o'clock , he was returniug 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 ¦

      ; scuffl , lie crossed to see what was the matter . Just I as he had readied them * he saw Mr . Sim , who was held back by the last witness , attempt to strike the i complainant , and was called on to take him into , ' custody . He turned round to give a piece of meat , j which he was carrying from the market , to his < wile , and just as he did so Mr . Sim started off as fast as he could . He ( witness ) followed him I and owing to his running with great force against a ' man coming in an opposite direction he ( witness ) : came lip with and secured him , near the White-horse ' street turnpike . On bringing him back a number of ' persons were collected , aud those in tho crowd who had witnessed the conduct of Mr . Sim described it as ; very violent , and saying he had , used the complainant much himThe

      I shamefully , exclaimed against . complainant then gave him in charge for the assault , aud : whilo taking him to the Mile-end station-house , Mr . ! Jackson attempted to rescue him , and for this he { also was secured and taken to the station-house . 1 Mr . Henry ( to Mr . Sim)— " In the first place , what j is your occupation V liev . Mr . Sim— " I ' m a cJasj sical teacher . " Mr . Henry— " You have heard the I charge made against you ; what have you to say to i it V Rev . Mr . Sim— " Why , the fact , Sir , is that 1 had been dining with a party of friends , and as we were proceeding along the Commercial-road together an omuifc , u 8 was stopped for one of the party , and this man twHHplainant ) , in passing , made use of " holloa , fat guts ! " in reference to the stout geutleman , one of my friends , and consideri'ig the

      expression highly improper , I own I knocked his hat oft " : but I have no recollection whatever of having done any thing else to him . " Mr . Henry— " What have you to say about running away ? " Mr . Sim—I acknowledge I ran away ; but my reason for so doing was that I waa a stranger 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 2 " Mr . Jackson— " I am of no profession , but livo 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 I" Mr . Jackson— " 1 did not attempt to rescue him . AU I did was to go up and take hold of my friend ' s arm to walk alone

      with him to the station-house ! and if' . this can be called an attempt to rescue , it is of bo alight a , character as scarcely to deserve the name . Had I intended to rescue my friend , this is 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 liftshould have known much better than conduct yourselves in such a manner . You must , therefore , pay a penalty of £ 5 each ; the one for the assault , ana ihe other fox the intended rescue , or stand committed fir two months . The parties in a short time paid the money and were discharged . It appeared that the Bey , Gentleman was so drunk when taken to the station-bouse , that the Inspector on duty refused to admit h'm to bail for two floors , during which time H was locked up .

Just betbro three o'clock on tho 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 .

      belonging to tbe 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 .

      Murder at Sea . —Havre , August 14 . —The melancholy fate of the sixteen passengers of the Won . Brown had not been effaced from our sad remembrance ? , 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" beiug advanced to justify it , is made , known in Havre ; and I much fear the perpetrator of this bloody act is likely to escape . The sufferers of the William Brown Were poor creatures ^ British stbj <> cts- —seeking under a friendly flag , shelter in a ibreign country ^ where they might earn a livelihood by their daily labour . Tho new victim was a British sailor engaged under tho protection of another friendly flag to perform his voyage from Monte

      •* Htee **» Unvro . Weshm by and by be enabled to ascertain what is the protection of "friendly flags " afforded to British passengers and British sailors . The ship Leopoldina Ro * & , belonging to Monte Vided , left that place in the month of May last , bound for Havre . The crew was composed of English and American seamen , the eaptain and the mate were Frenchmen ; there wore sixteen passengers on board ; the men stipulated for coffee for breakfast and a ful ) ration of meat . They had not been at sea more than a 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 tho captain in irons , but liberated after a confinement of three days ; they were marked , however , as objects for annoyance .

      On the 10 ' in of May , the captain , after abusing one of these two , an Englishman , named James Dickson , 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 tho forecastie . The captain retired to his cabin , with the mates , and haying provided himself with a sword , and given the mates a pistol each , came on deck ; not finding Dickson , he went to tho top of the ladder of the forecastle , asked if he was there , and being answered in tho affiirmative , sprung down , and instantly ran the man through the body three times . He then

      camoon 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 tho ship catue forward for the purpose of assisting the poorwreich , 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 ; Ven by the Procurer du Roi , who reported the cast he Procureur-General . Strange-to * relate , an c ! er was immediately sent down for the instant liberation of

      the captain , on tho ground that no notice could be taken by the FrenchanthoritieBofanyact committed at sea under the flag of a foreign power . " Tho captain was set at liberty . The English Consul fcaviDg examined the crew , who , with the passengers , declare there was no attempt at mutiny and agree in tho details of the murder , demanded the recommittal of the captain , tho muTdered man being a British subject . This , as well as a copy of the depositions of the passengers taken before the Procurerdu Roi , has been refused , and the murderer , is walking about the streets with complete impunity . At the Thames Police , London , on S aturday , Richard Henry Langley , a tall and gentlemanlylooking man , late second mate of the ship

      Leopoldina Rosa , ou her voyage from Monte Video to Havre de Grace , -was fcrouKht before Mr . Broderip , charged with being accessory to the wilful murder of James Dixon , an English seaman , on the 16 th of May last , on the high seas , within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England . Several ot the seamen of the vessel spoken of were examined at great lengiii . Their evidence went to show that the seamen had frequently complairedof 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 the men as i t was alleged had 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 hia ( the captain ' s ) 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 stated , was standing over the hatchway at the time , and that when the doctor attended deceased the second mate said he 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 . " After the inquiry had lasted seven hours , Mr . Broderip said he felt it to be his duty to remand the prisoner . Mr . Pel ham said the question was , whether the magistrate could in t erfere at all . The prisoner , who was represenfed to be a British subject , was an American , and he was not amenable •; o our laws .. Mr . Broderip said he should not part with the prisoner yet ; he should treat him as » British subject at present at all events , and remand him to prison for iurthw ejaminatioa until Wednesday .
