lington . " This stupid ast has created a great deal 0 / disagreeable feeling . It was particularly ungracious at the present moment , when cirititres an being larished Upon oar fellow countrymen in this town to an extent which * wool d arouse some feelings of jealousy in the minds of any other people bat the French . I may mention as au instance of the extent of these civilities that the grand ball on Tuesday at the Theatre was very generally wished to be gifenas a pubiie affair ,, in which case the Garde Naiienale aad French residents would have largely availed themselves of it ; but it was eventually decided to restrict it to invited company , and the
tickets , ffroltt , of coarse , have been , with a gallantry purely irench , most lavishly distributed amongst the English visitors . The / eVei and rejoicings have been splendidly kept up , and though everybody was jolly , everybody was sober . Amongst the prizes awarded wene the following : —To Calais , for la pompt , their deputation being the uw > 6 t numerous ; to St . Omer , fer 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 oi the ball at the theatre , have been arrested , and amongst them are several Englishmen .
—Correspond-Chuia . —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 properly , and when the Abkar left , China street and business part of the suburbs were deserted , shops closed , and scarcely any one to be seen . On the sews of the attack upon the Bogue reaching Pekin the emperor ordered three imperial commissioners ( one a near relative ) to proceed to Canton , and to exterminate the English , swearing is hia edict , that both powers could noi stand , and one or the other must conquer or perish . Kesfleo was ordered in chains to the capital to be tried as a traitor , for having degraded himself , bo 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 behold the success of the British arms , and to sign the trace , aad to sanction a temporary trade . Captain Elliott was 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 ia the Macao passage , above Canton , three a few miles below , and six at Whampoa . About the 1 st of June , the fl ^ et would go north again , to mate 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 about 800 pieces of cannon . The Chinese Admiral , Kewang , fell in defence of the Bogue 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 BriOHb . ships : 100 , 000 dollars for a lineof-baule-ship , K ) , OC 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 CantOD , and the number w ^ a daily increasing .
LxiXRD Scwes xxd Canada . —Tie Great Western , Captain Hosken , arrived in Bristol road on Wednesday morning , after an unprecedented passage of twelve days tea hours from port to port , being the shortest on record ; afee brings seventy passengers . Of the several important measures before tbe 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 skill agitated the public , and a correspondence had passed between Secretary Webster and Governor Sevrard , the Secretary using his endeavours to have the prisoner brought into the Federal Court , but had failed . His trial will come on-ea
the 19 th of September . We may observe , honevec , that the -best informed persons are of opinion that there is not the slightest danger of his execution in the event -ef a connctiou , and that there is no apprehension ef a rupture . From'Canada the dites are from Montreal and Kingston to the 4 th . The House of Assembly was busily-engaged in discussing measuree-ef great importance , bet there appears to have beee but little progress made yet . Tne yellw fever continued to rage with unmitigated violence in the Hayaanah . The Cotton Market is dull ; -toe crop this season will be must abundant . There is a defalcation m the New Orleans-Canal Bank to a-very large amount .

mm Hoax . —Daring the late Glasgow election , a-publican resident'in the suburbs , received a letter by the post , purporting 10 have issued from the Whig candidate , authorising him to keep -open bouse till the election was over . The landkrd was of coarse in extacies ; threw open bis doors , spread his tables with his best viands , and called on every passing Whig voter to come and eat and drink as much as he pleased . At tbe close of the election he went to the Whig Commitfee-room , aad presented to 'the candidate a bill as heavy as oae of Dr . PhiJpotls ' s pamphlets ., or Sir James Graham ' s speeches ; when , lo ! to his inexpressible astonishment he Iearned-tkat the letter ^ aras a forgery ! He has since been all but broken-hearted , and hates the very mention of the word •* Whig" as much as tbe VerU is said to hate holy water .
CoMsuriL , Escape , am ) Re « captck . e of x Buaglas . —On the morning of Saturday last information was received at the station-house of the T division in the town of Staines , that on the previous night the premises of Mr . E . Carruthers , of that town , had < t > een burglariously entered , and that the thieves had been disturbed in . their proceedings , having only stolen a silver watch , a tea-caddy , . a pair of sugar-tongs , a glass sngar-basin , and a rosewood worfcbox . Serjeant Burtoa of the T 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 , Ssrrey , 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 Fe-tbam , and fully committed to Newgate for trial . 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 open , 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 Otwa £ , of the T diTision , . and Inspector Dowsing , of the ^ V division , who were both present .
immediately mounted their horses abd ^ galloped off in pursuit , followed by a number of policemen and other persons , wien after a severe run Che prisoner took refuge in Hanwarth Park , the seat of Mr . Henry Perkins , the brewer , whose demesne being closely wooded , for some time afforded him a secure shelter from his pursuers . The police , however , immediately divided themselves into Bsall parties and scoured the weod , and ultimately the prisoner was discovered in x high tree , and after snach difficulty got down , when he was instantly handcuffed aad brought back tt > feltham , whence he was conreted to Newgate .

Frightful Accideht . — On Wednesday night . between Rine and ten o ' clock , another of those dreadful accidents to which all are so liable who venture ia the ricketty swings and " turn 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 showB , &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 6 evenl minutes , when Mrs . Bonsey suddenly rose from her seat , and at the instant of the highest elevation , she was pitched oat head
foremost to tbe ground , a fall of at least twenty or thirty feet . The violence with which she fell was dreadful , and tbe 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 profuBely from the mouth and ears . She was conveyed most promptly to Guy ' s Hospital , where it was ascertained she was suffering from a very sexere fracture of the skull She now lies in that institution without hope of recovery . It could not be ascertained whether Bhe had been seized with giddiness , or that it had been caused in a spirit of foplhardiness , she being ' at the time in a state of excitement , but not arising from any excess of drinking .
Attacking a Judge . —The Chester Chronicle has brought sooie charges against Lord Abinger , when on tbe 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 PriuB ; 17 causes were entered , three of which were Epecial juries . It was obvious to every one that he had 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 ,
bis Lordship became most injudiciously impatient . Examples are 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 rause 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 putting himself to the fatigue of ttrying tbe 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 tbe pleasure of jurymen , " and ordered the court to be adjourned inplanter" Mr . Justice Erskine bad a heavy criminal calendar , including fire indictaents for murder .
Lord Abinger gave him 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 iu a judge to be thus t&lking of his time , as it it nas given to , instead of being paid for by , the public . Judges are sent tbe circuits to discharge the gaols and to dispose of the civil matters at it&ue between tbe subjects . They are tbe 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 Waldeg » ave and Cawai . v Duff . —These innocent " lambs , " it appears , are suffering impnsment for the deeds of others . Mr . Follitt Duff , of the 34 th regiment , has forwarded copies of a memor ial to her Majesty , for the liberation of bis 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 to be guihj of a most brutal assault ; of this he is entirely innocent , and the object 1 have in view is to clear his character « f « foul stain . The parties who really committed the offence are Sir WUloughby Wolston Dixie , barooet , and Mr . John Bell , the lately elected member for the borough of Thirsk , who have hitherto eluded detection , and almost suspicion , and my brother has ,
unfortunately , from carelessness on bis part , and mis management of bis defence , been made their scapegoat . Sir VV . Dixie was , according to his own admission , the person who beat the policeman on the bead with a heavy stick , and itr . J . Bell was the person who kicked him iu 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 ih ; judgment of the public . " Captain Duff ' s memorial thuB explains the affair : — " Your petitioner , together with the Earl of Waldegr&ve , tae Hon .
Robert Grimston , Mr . Bell , of Thirsk ; Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie , and Mr . Connolly , of the £ th Dragoon GuanMbeing six in number >) attended Epsom races on tbe 4 th of June , li ! 40 , and afterwards returned and dined wilh the said £ irl Wai degrave , at bis houscat 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 taid 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 Strawberrv- < hill , the carriage stqpped opposite the Swan Inn , at Hampton Wick , ac < i lbs 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 dni not then know ) to read the signboard over the s&id house , but your petitioner did not try to open the door of the said house , as La ) been erroneously supposed by the witnesses for the prosecution . 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 petitio&er . and the Eail Waldegiave joined the s&id Sir Willoughby Wolsion Dixie , who nad £ rst begun tbe 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 offensive language whatever towards the police serjeant , nor did either of them interfere with him , except that while speaking tobim , jronrpetitioner , 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 instastly Resisted . At this tUae John Whcatley ( the prosecutor ) came up , and Serjeant Churchill directed him < Wheatley ) to throw his light upon your petitioner and the rest of the party , and to go to the carnage . and look for the owner ' s naee ; upon which the Earl Waldegrave . jour 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 Wheatley attempted to look at the name on the carari
nage , me r > w aiaegrave pu&hea turn aside , wnereupon Serjeant Churchill called to tbe said Charles John Wheatley , "Take them into custody , " or wotob to that effect ; and thereupon Wheatley seized the Earl WjUdegrave by the eoUar , and , after a short scuffle , thzew his Lordship down upon the ftiDiind . Your petitioner , thereupon , assisted with Mr . Grimston , in getting the said Earl Waldegrave out ef the hands of Wheailey , bj opening or uoslenching the haad of the said Charles John Wheatley , but no blow whatever was struck by any of the party . When the Earl was released , the policeman advised the whole of the party U > go home quietly , and your petitioner and his irieaa , the Hon . Rocert Grimston , considering such advise 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 towards Strawberry-hill on foot , together with the said Robert Grimston , and left tbe 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 lei&urelr ) 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 Willougbby Wolston Dixie being on the box , and by them your petitioner and his friend , the said Mr . Grimston , were
informed of the violence which had taken place , and the injuries which had been inflicted on Wheatley , after your petitioner would have been quite unconscious of any violence whatever having been used towards tbe person of Wheatley , or any other person . Your petitioner is anxious k » have the facts investigated , u 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 whole facts alleged against the most guilty parties by tbe prosecutor and his witnesses ; and for these reasons , and the hope that some commutation of punishment may take place , your petitioner humbly prays for & further and fuller inquiry , by which it can be made cic&rlj to appear who were the guilty perpetrators of an pffenoe for which yov petitioner is now Buffering .

Amen at Fauit . —There was a alight interruption in St . Stephen ' s church , Colenwn-street , * few Sundays ago , while the Rev . Mr . Pratt was preaching .

It is said that the same man , upon a former occasion , when he was in the Central Criminal Court , imagined himself in St .

Hellis 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 week ! " 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 " Oil ! 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 the ; are not incumbered . " Mr . Paris— " I am satisfied they are not . " Defendant— " lam nearly seventy years of age , and hare worked hard for the property 1 now posses * , and it is too much to diminish it in
&ncb a a&nner . " 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'il 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 comes before me again , it will be well fer me now to tell the defendant that he must "spriog" a Rood deal more before I can agree with him .

A Clergyman fined Five Pounds for Drcn-. tuawi » s amd Assault . —Two persons of respectable appearance , whose names and offences stood in the Police-charge-sheet 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 . Smb trom the custody of the police , appeared before Mr . Henry , at Lambethstreet polico-tfnse , 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 thstt had afterwards reached the police , one of them , Mr . Sim , is fouud to be a
Clergyman belonging to the Established Church , and was recently , it not at present , Curate of the parish of Bow . The evidence adduced against the Rev . Gentleman aad bis friend was as follows ;—James Tirfiley , a ^ hip-rigger , deposed that on the preceding Saturday night , between the hours of nine and ten 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 hia , or any of his party .,-giving the slightest provocation to the gentleman , Mr . 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 us to Mr . Sim , and asked
what &e had knocked his hat off for . The prisoner instead of saying a word in palliation of the offence , struck him a violent blow on the bridge of the nose , which instantly 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 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 j-an 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 216 , 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 , aud hearing a sort ot scuffle , he crossed to see what was the matter . Just as be had reached them he saw 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 fast as he could . He ( witness ) followed him aud owing to his running with great force against a ma a coming in an opposite direction he ( witness ) came up wilh and secured him , near the White-horse street turnpike . Oq bringing him back a number oi
persons were collected , and those in the crowd who kad witnessed the conduct of Mr . Sim described it a .-very violent , and saying he bad used the complainant shamefully , exclaimed much against him . The complauiaDt then gave him i » charge for the assault , and while taking him to the Mile-end station-house , Mr . JackBon attempted to rescue him , and for this he also was secured and taken to the station-house . Mr . Henry ( to Mr . Sim)— " In the first place , what is your occupation r" Ker . Mr . Sim— " I ' m a classical teacher . " Mr . Henry— " You have heard the chargo made against you ; what have you to say to 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 omnibus was stopped for one of the party , and this man ( complainant ) , in passing , made use oi " holloa , fat guts ! " in reference to the stout gentleman , one of my friends , and considering the expression highly improper , 1 own I 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 bo doing was that I was 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 ? " 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 . Jackaon— " J did not attempt to rescue him . All I did was to go
up and take bold 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 ia of so slight a character as scarcely to deserve the name . Had I in tended to rescue my friend , this i « 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 fifuoh a manner . You must , therefore , paj a penalty of £ 5 each ; the one for the assault , ano the other for the intended rescue , or stand committed for two months . The parties in a short time paid tho money aud were discharged . It appeared that the Rev . Gentleman was so drunk when taken to the station-house , that the Inspector on duty refused to admit him to bail for two hours , during which time be wgg looked op .

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 0 clock on the afternoon of Thursday , a good deal of excitement wa 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 tbe wall , and making towards St . Ueorge ' s-road . Convinced from the appearance , as well as the dress , of tbe unfortunate creature , that she was one of the inmates belonging to the establishment , they went down by
the side of tbe 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 ali ghted upon her feet , she flunir her arms around the neck of the soldier , and exclaimed , "I have got you at last T' and began kissing him . Before the soldier could recover from the confusion which this unexpected renon : re 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 nim .

Extraordinary Election Eimon . —By some mistake , which has not yet been explaiued , no return has been made for Radnorshire , and the borough of Mew Radnor . So that the Parliament is for the present two members short of its full complement . After the address on the speech is disposed of , the Clerk of the Crown will probably report the fact of the omission of the Radnor returns , and then it will be moved that the high sheriff of Radn jrshire , and the returning officer to whom he issued his precept for the election of a member for the borough of New Radnor , do attend at the bar of the House to explain the cause of the omission .
Murder at Sea . —Havre , August 14 . —The melancholy fate of the sixteen passengers of the Wm . Brown had not been effaced from our sad remembrances , 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 flag , 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 . Weshall by and by be enabled to ascertain what is the protection of "friendly flags " afforded to British passengers and British sailors . The ship Leopoldina Rosa , belonging to Monte Video , left that place in the month of May last , bouud for Havre . The crow 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 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 the captain in irons ,
but liberated after a confinement of three days ; they were marked , however , as objects for annoyance . On the lGih of May , ihe captain , after abusing one of these two , an Englishman , named James Dipkson , 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 wa , s there , and being answered in the
affirmative , sprung down , and instantl y ran the man through the body three times . He then came on deck , and desired the men to bring the fellow up , the ; 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 poor wretch , but the captain refused to allow him to touch him or render him the least assistance . The 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 Frocurer du Roi , who reported the case to the
Procureur-General . 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 Frenchauthorities of any act committed at sea 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 and 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 Saturday ,
Richard Henry Langley , a tall and gentlemanlylooking man , late second mate of the ship Leopoldina Roaa , on her voyage from Monte Video to Havre de Grace , was brought before . Idt . 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 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 it' he was to be humbugged in that sort of manner . The captain swore at the deceased , and told him to
obey bis ( the captain ^) 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 waa Btated , 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 hia duty to remand the prisoner . Mr . Pelham said the question was , whether the magistrate could interfere at all . The prisoner , who was 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 should treat him as a British subject at present at all events , and remand him to prison tot farther examination until Wednesday .
