WewerenearLagosonthecoastof Africa , i _esj engaged in preventing the slave trade . On February 27 , 27 , we saw a strange sail , and went in pursuit of her . Ko _Jfot being able to come np mth her in the brig , by Ca _Captam Usher's orders Iwentintoa boat and gave chi chase . I had both the gig and cutter with me , one bel beingin charge of Mr . BocMu and the other of Mr .
P * Palmer , the deceased , who was a rawstiipman on bo board the Wasp . We came np with the vessel about ei | eight o ' clock at night , and took possession of her . Si She proved to be a schooner sailing fonder Brazilian _et _colouis , and evidently fitted ont for the transport of tl dares- This _* wa _* maWest , 3 Sshe had a slave deck , a and also from the quantity of water and provisions ***** -diicb she had on board , the latter being the provita _taona given _toalaves . _Shehadaerewoftwenty-eigkt jj wen , and Captain Don Antonio diCirqueira . There v _wiTC no slaves on board , but the place where she waa _f taken is where vessels come and cruise till they cad 1 take their slaves on board . It was in latitude 6 de-I r _^ es north of tlie equator . The name of this vessel ¦ v _« the Felicidade . Abonttwo boors after her
_captorel sent a report te Captain Usher , and received cnieB to fake out the men in her and . send them on brirdtheWasp . Thl 8 wasdone , butafterwardgsomeof _fie menwereseEtback . _Iwentonboardin _theereiijsg , and gave np command to Mr . Roberts , onr master . Eventually , Cirqueira and _Majavalwere left ca board the schooner . Towards the evening I treat on board again , and Mr . Palmer with me , and sixteen men in the jolly boats . Roberts returned to . the Wasp . We liad five cutlasses and . two pistols on board with us . Shortly after I received orders bam the captain ofthe Wasp to chasein a particular _ewse . 1 could see no vessel , as i _? e were too low todo go . I obeyed those orders , and gave chase , butdid not cffl > _-ffitm with any vessel that night . In the morning
I tacked and stood towards Lagos . On the 1 st of March 1 saw a brigantine , when I hoisted colours sad went alongside ofher . : Sheha 3 ed . toknow what we were , and I replied English . On hearing this _jlienjade sail and got away , if act night I saw her agran , and gave chase . We came up to her , andl then sent a boat to her . I did not go in the boat , _bntsent Mr . Palmer with her . She proved a Bran & n brigantine , called the Echo , with 43 * slaves in her . I had seen her before several times , and carryail Brazilian colours , ilr . Palmer boarded her carjjing British colours flying . Be was in his uniform ss a British officer . I had frequently boarded her before , and they knew me . Sebastian de Santos then acted as her commander , and he knew me very well .
_Xtos in my uniform on those occasions . He bad a a crew of twenty-three men . I was obliged to divide By men _^ in order to secure this vessel . I put Mr . Palmer in charge of the Echo , and returned to thc Felicidade . I left with bim all the arms except a cutlass , wluch had been lost overboard in boarding . About nine o'clock in the morning I returned to the Echo , and sent Mr . Palmer on board the Felicidade , and intended to return there myself when 1 had got a few things done an board the Echo , which itwas ceeessary should be done . I left nine of onr men idlb Mr . Palmer . The slaves were greatly in want ti food , and I had them fed . Whilst tins was going on , I perceived the Felicidade coming down upon ns , with Brazilian colours flying . She hailed , but not
understanding Portuguese I did not understand what _-rassaid . I saw Serva and Francisco on board . I did not heave to , and she came up and fired a gun into as , aud nineteen shots were lodged just above lie boom . Ko one was hurt She kept on , and tshen she came athwart our bow she fired again . She kept on our bow a short time , then tacked , and _Ixrie away . There were eight of the crew of the Echo in my vessel at that tuna . They had been in the boat , at the stern , towing , but I ordered them inaadsent them below . I could see that the Felicidade was retaken , as she came down on ns , as there « _as none ofour men tobe seen in her . I followed her as long as I could , but as she sailed mnch better than the Echo on a wind she gotaway from us . The first
¦ day I fell in with tbe Wasp . The Bee schooner was taken to Sierra Leone . I left several things on beard ofthe Felicidade ; one of those things has been returned to me . It is a book— " Ilersehel on Astronomy . " It was sent on board to me at Ascension I received it from tbe Commodore . Antonio di Cirqueira . —I am a Brazilian . I was bora in the Brails .

I bad known Majaval only the day that t sailed . We arircd off the coast of Africa on the 6 th or _7 th of _February .

was tipsy , another was midships asleep , and the otherLwas _. placed as . sentay , over- the hatchway , but iras asleep . There were no more Englishmen , but the two _Kidmen werethefe .. / At this Serva went to the hatehway and called the men to come np and commit the murder . I was aft , bat came forward , seeing Serva at the hatchway ; and having suspicion . ? _T ? ,, Serva b _^ nand and said , "Don'tbe loohsh . : Serva was still caUingthe men to come up . When ] I saw they were determined I made a sign to the qnartermaster and Mr . Palmer . ' The quarter master ran and caught a bar of iron and struck Alves oa the head , and then caught him up and flung him overboard . When struck down he fell on the fore part of the deck , on the starboard side . _;* Alves was
coming np to the hatchway when he was . struck , with a knife iu his hand . Alves was the first , bnt was on the deck when the quartermaster struck him . As soon as he had thrown Alves overboard he took a handspikeand began to defend himself . They were all npon deckatthattime , except two or three who stopped below , saying they were poorly . Antonio Joaquim , Santos , and Jose Antonio , were on the deck before , on the plea that they were poorly I never saw a knife in their hands , bnt they had got knives in their belts . Antonio Joaquim was lying down forward . When * the men came np they all began with their \ knives on the _qaartennaster . There were four or five upon him . Majaval was not there ; he was aft in the
cabinmak-, lngbtead . Francisco _: Martinis and Ribeiro both had knives . They . fell on the quartermaster . He was trying to defend _MmBclf with a _handspBie , but thoy wounded him with their : knives . In the meantime Serva called the men but of the boats , and Majaval ran np ont ofthe cabin with a long cooking knife in _bishand . He went np to _PahnerJandstnickhim on the leftside . He fell on the pnwhale of the vessel * Then Majaval caught hold of his feet and pitched him overboard . After that he Went and gave Lis assistance forward . The next man was killed by one who killed himself afterwards . He killed one ofthe men lying down . The men forward were cutting and slaying forward . The man they had been cutties was lying outside the vessel , and had hold bf
the fore sheet . This was the sentry . Some struck him on the head with great pieces of wood , but be did not let go . Ribeiro then cnt his fingers off and he sunk . I cannot tell who killed Mullins , the quartermaster , as they were all npon him , but he was killed and thrown overboard . The two _Ktoomen jumped overboard themselves . Serva was standing on the deck , having taken command , calling ont" Kill tliem _; kill them , and fling ' em overboard .. After all were killed and thrown ov « board , Serva ordered the peak of the mainsail to be lowered as a signal to his brother-in-law to rise and kill those in the Echo . He then gave orders to hoist the Brazilian colours , which was done , and they made off to the Echo . They shinned the gear on the . side next
[ the Echo , and placed them m readiness to hie Serva ordered me to point the gmv All the men were standing behind me . I was obliged to do this . I elevated the gun , bnt did not fire . One of the pri soners fired . Then Serva gave me orders to hail tbe Echo to heave to , and likewise to holloa to his brother-in-law , tbat all the Englishmen were dead . I did this . I saw Lieutenant Stupart , an English sailor , Serva ' s brother-in-law , and another prisoner , ' who ran np in the fore-top . Wo sailed on till we came to the bow of the Echo , and then fired another gun : This was done by Serva ' s orders ' . ¦ After firing the two guns , finding the brigantine did not heave to , we made off . Some time after Serva , said . as . the vessel was taken by Mm from the English , he
considered the vessel was his . The decks were covered with blood ; and it took about an hour ' s scrubbing to clean them . Two days after I asked Serva where he was bound . Hean-wered "Rio Janeiro , because it ' was his vessel , - as he took her front the English . " He also said , " that I had allowed myself to betaken with thirty men nnder me , by two boats , and that he had retaken her with his four cats . ' It _waihis ves sel , and heshould take her toliisowneratRio _. instead of the Echo , because he had lost a deal of money , by her . " I answered , that if that was the case , I hoped he would put tne on board the _Sret vessel we met , or on the first land vre made , as I would rather pay my own passage than remain on board . JPour days after we fell ih with the Star . About three or four o'clock , the Star took possession of her . During : the chase Serva gave orders either to luff or . keep away , as the
cause required . When he found he could not get away , he began to drink rum and wine . The Star , when she came up , fired ten muskets and a gun , and then took possession of her . As soon as the Star came alongside the men began to stow themselves away , except Serva and the man at the helm , who remained on deck . Serva was drunk . All the men were taken on board the Star . When I ' came on board , Serva said , * . ' You say that I am a pas senger . " They gave the commander the name of Virginia as the name of the Echo , and desired me to say the same . In the course of four days I communicated to the commander what had happened _, lie wasveiy kind and free , and I thought justice would be done . 1 thought an unjust crime had been committed . I waited four days , because I was in fear , not being sure whether the officers would be kind or
The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr . Seijeant Manning and Mr . Collier , in the course of which he stated that—When Aires was thrown over , he got into the boat and remained there until it was all over . When he came on board he took ug the blood from the deck in . his hand and drank it . He did this because he had not had his revenge . E . F . Rozegres was then called , andpioved the most handsome and intelligent black ever seen . — At the time of the murder of the Englishmen , he was in a boat towing at the stern of the Felicidade He gave the followingaccbnnt of what he witnessed Saw two blacks come overboard , who swam away . I saw two white men in the water who disappeared all
in a moment , and there was blood in the water . This noise lasted a good half hour , if not three-quarters I heard a voice say , "kill , kill . " . I could not see Serva . I think the voice was Serva's , but I could not swear to tbe voice . The first one who called to me and others in the boat was Serva , to come oh . the deck . He told ns to come on deck as there was nothing more to fear . We went on deck . I found all the prisoners on board , but could not swear they were on deck . Alves was on the deck , near the main hatchway . Four were wounded and covered with blood . The blood came from their heads . I did not see Mortinos at first , but saw him three or four minutes after . He was coming from the fore-part of the vessel . The same day I learned that he had been
wounded . I saw them dressing their wounds , lhe blood was spread in different places on the deck , and afterwards it was trod about by the feet . Tliere were footmarks . Serva was on , " board . Every , one was giving orders , bnt tinder the orders of Serva . He wasthe principal person . Serva gave orders to steer down alongside the Echo . We went down . There was a shotfired at the Echo in midships , and another on thc bow . I heard some one speak ; it was Serva . He said , "Joye , throw yourself in thc sea . " That was his nephew . He said , " there is no fear , there are no more English on board . " I did not see any colours hoisted , but 1 saw them afterwards lowered down and put away . After they fired , they hauled up the boat alongside , and sailed away .
By the Judge . —Did not sec Alves in the water . There was only one boat attached to the vessel . I saw Alves when I came on board , standing by the hatchway . I did not observe his dress . I saw that he was wonnded in the head ; the fore part of the head . His face was covered with blood from that wound . Ho ted nothing in liis hand ; he was washing himself . I did not go up to him . Directly Iwent on the deck I went forward . Majaval was at the helm when I went on board . Ribeiro was on deck when I got on deck . I saw no one come into the boat whilst I was there at the stern . If one had come into the boat I must have seen it . Thc boat was hauled astern , and I got up by the painter . . Tliey all climbed up tbat wav . I was the fifth that went up .
There were three whites iu the boat . They went up first , and then a black . Then I went . Two blacks who were in the boat came after mc . I did not see Alves . I cannot say for certain that Alves did not come up , but I did not sec him ; Alves did not appear weak , as noticed . I cannot say whether he was srong enough to climb thc painter . Shortly after he washed liimself he went to bed . IdidsceAlves's head thc next day , but I cannot tell the size ofthe wound , because it was covered with a cloth . I cannot say in what direction thc woiiBil was . Did not see whether his dress was wet or dry . Sena gave me orders in Rio in the Portuguese language , and 1 understood that . Thc crew talked in thc same language , except one person , who was a Frenchman . I had no conversation with them , but I understood manv words they said .
It now being late , the Court adjocrjicd till Fn _* day _SecoxdDay , _Jo-t 25 . The same intense interest which was manifested yesterday was increased rather than diminished today . The first witness called this morning was Saberino de Costa . This witness was as stolid and repulsive looking a negro as the last was intelligent and handsome _, lie Stated that he was bom in Africa , and was a slave there : he went aboard thc Echo as part of her crew ; he then went on to give the same evidence as before given of the capture of thc Echo . I went on board the Felicidade with the other prisoners , in a boat under the command of Enelish sailors . 1
was put down with the others in the forecastle . __ I saw Majaval looking down the hatchway , conversing with the other prisoners beloir . I also saw Cirqueira iii ti . c schooner in the morning- _Mnjaval was the cook , Francesco and Alves were talking below ; I could hear what passed . All of them were present , and could hear . Either Alves or Francesco , said one to the other , "Oh , go up and kill thc Englishmen , and go and take the bri « antinc . " Aii asrccd , except Kil'Ciro , WflO said , "Ko ; but let the English land us at Onin . The cruisers would take ns and make an c * id of us .

" : Francesco _ften said , "If you don't go I'll kill you . " He then described the mode in which they did their knives , and _^ went : on . deck . He then * heard a noise as of scuffling , and Ribeno catac below , where he ( the witness ) had remained , with his head cut open . He then went on deck , the appearance bf which he described as the other witness had done , and went on to confirm- him in reference to the other events which immediately followed . The witness' Was _ci-oss _^ xamincd as to his understanding the nature of an oath , and gave much better answers than we have frequently heard our own countrymen do . .
inomasLethbridge . —I .-was as corporal onboard the Star . On the Oth March we were returning from Prince ' s Island to Lagos . We saw a sail and gave chase . _^ Sent boats uuder the command of Lieutenant Etneridge , who took her . She proved to be the Felicidade . The crew were below , and were about twentv men . They were all sent upon deck . * The ten prisoners and three witnesses were there . Ifound in the after cabin a book . It was S volume of the Cabinet _Cyclopiedia , mth the name of R . D . Stupart in it . I found also some duck bags , flannel , and serge , and a pair bf clews . I found also a fishing line , with a boat ' s anchor and awning with the broad arrow on them . There were stains of blood on the
deck . ' The crew had been sent on board the Star at this time . I returned then and remained till the 22 nd March . Saw the prisoners there . * Four of them . Alves , Ribeiro ,. Francesco , and Martinos , had wounds . They were the -7 th , sabre cuts and were fresh . They were put in irons . They said the woundsi were _occasioned'by the falling of a mast . Lieutenant Etheridge asked the name of the vessel , and was told the Virginia . I was sent _with'lhe prisoner and three or four other men on board the Penelope . On the 5 th and 6 th of May they were sent on board the Rapid , where I found the prisoners , and came home with them to _Plymouth . I found a shirt in the cabin , with No . 40 on it . - -
Thomas Wood and Lieutenant Wilson were next examined ; their evidence was not important . Lieut . Stupart was recalled and gave some additional evidence . ' ¦ ¦ - ¦ _" Louis Hastzlett stated that he was keeper of the papers in the Foreign Office , and produced the Brazilian treaty , and proved the signature of Don Pedro annexed to it . By the first article of this treaty it is declared that any Brazilian or English subject engaged in any way in carrying on the slave trade shall be guilty of piracy . ' Cirqueira also was recalled , to speak to the blow which he stated he saw the quartermaster give to
Alves . He said it was with the _stancheon , and that the quartermaster swung it , and then let it fall , as he thought , rather gently on his head . Oneoftheforeignjurymen , _aFrenehmauwe believe , put some questions to him , at which another juryman complained , saying it was a waste of their time . Bnt j the foreigner persevered , , saying it was a most fearful responsibility which they had east upon them , and . he wished to satisfy his mind on . eveiy point redeclaration which was warmly approved _, of by the learned judge . He elicited that Cirqueira ' had not seen three of the prisoners , take any actual or decisive part in the murders . These wero Santos , Jose Antonio , and Manoel Antonio . ,
Mr . Gonsos informed the Court that this was the case' on the part of the prosecution . - . _- . Mr . Serjeant Manning then rose , and _submittted to the learned judge that there was no . case to go to the jury . The . offence with which the prisoners stood charged was alleged to have been committed on the high seas . Itwas a clear proposition of law that offences . committed by . , a : foreigner , out of the juris diction bf this country , were not cognisable in our courts . One Brazilian could' not be tried for the murder of an Englishman ,. unless that Englishman at the time was in . the Queen ' s peace . Here the offence , if committed at all , was committed on board a Brazilian vessel , * wrongly detained , " as he should clearly show , by the officers of the Wasp , and
consequently , for the purpose of jurisdiction , must be considered to be done in the territory of Brazil , as one power had no _jurisdietum or control over what took place in the ; vessels of another , although , tuck' vessels were on the high seas . It was hot enough that they were on the high seas , as before remarked , they must be in the Queen's peace , which was synonymous with the . Queen ' s jurisdiction . Being in the peace of the Queen meant only being in her jurisdiction or under her control . . The learned gentleman cited a number of precedents _insupport of hisiview of the question ; he contended that both the Felicidade andthe Echo , according to the terms of the treaty with Brazil , had been ' illegally captured . If these vessels were wrongly taken ; then it would follow that the prisoners were illegally imprisoned , and in such a ease they had a right to use all the force that was necessary to escape from such imprisonment . . And even if these
circumstances should not justify the violence altogether , they would'have the effect necessarily of reducing the offcncebftheprJspnersfrommurdertomanslaughter . There were , therefore , three objections—first , there was iab jurisdiction _^ as the offence , if any , was committed in a Brazilian vessel by a Brazilian ; over whom , under such circumstances , the laws of this country did not operate ; secondly , the prisoners were hot in lawful custody , and consequently had the right to use violent means to relieve themselves from their false imprisonment ; and , thirdly , in * _* lRy event these circumstances would reduce the crime to manslaughter . Mr . _CoLUt-a . followed on the same side , contending that the Court had no jurisdiction , and insulting it wonld be an act of injustice to try parties by laws of which without fault they were utterly iporant , and which might be altogether opposite to the laws under which they lived . Mr . Godson and Mr . Cockbcun replied .
Mr . Baron _PiAir ruled that those vessels were clearly engaged in the slave trade—that their being so made them guilty of an act of owafty—and that they were , therefore , legally captured . _, It was now very late , and the learned judge , addressing Mr . Serjeant _Maxnino , said as this was a trial ofthe most serious and important character , if it would be any accommodation to him he would stay over to-morrow , and postpone the case till then . : Mr . Serjeant Manning expressed his gratitude for this indulgence , and the Court was thereupon adjourned . Thirb Day , Jolt 2 ( 5 .
Mr . Serjeant Manning and Mr . Comjieb severally addressed the Jury , at considerable length , this morning , on behalf of their respective clients . Mr . Gonsos then replied on the part of the Crown . Mr . Baron Piati summed np the case most carefully and minutely , going over every fact given in evidence , and commenting upon each at considerable length . His lordship-was nearly four hours in the discharge of this duty . The Jury retired from court to consider their verdict . They were absent about half an hour , and then returned , when tliey pronounced a verdict of _Gdiltt against seven of the prisoners , and acquitted tlie other three , who were Sebastian de Santos , Manuel Antonio , and Jose Antonio . The crier demanded the usual silence , which being obtained .
Mr . Baron Piatt , in an impressive manner , sentenced these seven miserable men to be Iiiuig , holding out no hope of mercy to them . Majaval , through the interpreter , then requested that he might be permitted to inform the Queen of Spain of his situation , and complained that justice had not been done to him . The learned Judge said he might ask for any indulgence of the government , about which he would not at all interfere . The prisoners were then handcuffed , and removed from the court . It _u-as stated that Serva was a man of considerable property , and that Majaval had belonged to a good family in Spain , from which country he had been obliged to fly .

From Scotland a small quantity _ofoats , _atul from Ireland a few thousand quarters of that grain and a couple of hundred sacks of flour , constituted the entire supply . The arrivals from foreign countries have been rather liberal , particularly of oats . At this morning ' s market there was" a small show of wheat bylandcarriago samples from . Kent , and only a moderate quantity from Essex and Suffolk . Of barley , beans , and peas , the display of samples Was hy 110 _moaus large , but of oats the quantity on sale was abundant . The increasingly unfavourable reports received from difterent quarters respecting the appearance of the wheat crop , causedfactorsto demand very high prices for that article : but the day being fine , the millers
paid the advance rather reluctantly , and at 2 s . per or . rise business closed somewhat ( lull . Foreign free wheat must also be quoted quite 2 s . per qr . dearer ; the inquiry , however , w » s not lively . For bonded samples extravagantly high terms were asked , which prevented extensive transactions . At the close of the market the millers _succeeded in establishing aa advance of 4 s . per sack on town-made flour . Barley was held for rather more money , butno actual rise OR fast Monday ' s quotations could be established . Malt was fully as dear as on this day se ' nnight , The continued arrivals of foreign oats caused the trade in _thisr grain to open heavily this morning , still fine corn W _<* 13 not cheaper than on Monday last . Beans andpeas moved off steadily at previous prices . There were several samples of new carraway , rape , and turnip seed at market : the carraway was of dark colour , and brought 50 s . per cwt . ; the rapeseed _' . ( quality very fine ) , from £ 28 to - £ 30 per last ; and turnipsced from 16 s . to 21 s . per bushel .

AIoxdav , Jw . v 2 * - ? . — The imports of wheat and _iiosi _)' , coastwise and from Ireland , are moderate ; of oats the supply is very small . The duty on beans has declined to 3 s . Cd . per quarter , whicli is the only change in the scale on foreign produce this week . Throughout the week , tlie weather in this quarter has been for the most part Unc and dry , though cool . The accounts irom the southern _agricultural counties .--peak of worse weather , and . stale that the wheat plant make . ! slow progress towards maturity . Considerable trar . ? ac tions have occurred in our market _siiieHnstTuiaday , principally in wheat and flour , on speculation , bot . i free and bonded , at improving prices . The best
Irish red wheat has been sold at 7 s . 5 d . to 7 s . w . per 701 _bs ., which is an advance on the low rates of _lasfc Mav , of Is . per bushel , and flour is fully 4 s . per sack hi » _fier . The prices pai ( I » for bonded wheat _tvcJ'o 5 s . to 5 s . 3 d . per 70 Ws . for fair Baltic red ; good dry { _parcels ave sciU'ce _, and would find a ready _sa . c at much _higher rates .

Nearly 10 , 000 _barrels of Canadian sweet flour will have changed hands during the week at 27 s . Od . to 2 Ss . per _IPCfe . for superfine brands . Tho limited _suj-ply of oals _lms enabled holders to obtain rather better prices , but oatmeal is unchanged in value .
