LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA . On Saturday , an Extraordinary Gazette was published , containing the official details famished by Major-General Gough , respecting the operations against Canton , being copies of those published in the Indian papers .

Since ray arriTal inOanton proTinoe the forts of Oodrang ( first bar ) , Ty-wong-kow { Macao p&ssags fort ) , Tang wong-kong ( Swallow ' s best fort ) , and other places were lost 1 then consulted with Lung and Yang , assistant commissioners , and erected oa tbe banks of tbe river , in succession , tbe stone fort cf Nyehing ( near where tbe British troops landed ) aad batteries at Wuagsha , at the Slnghtie-gate ( petition gate ) , and at Hangroeou-chuck ( a temple in the suburbs ) , at Kwangcha ( above Shaming ) , and at Yih-cha-wih , and other places . Officers and soldiers guarded them , aad all around wa pat up sand-bags , palissdoes , piles of stone and balls : we , moreover , dug trenches for tbe protection of tbe soldiers . We also placed sand-bags all around the city w&IIb to make them stronger , and I myself , with the assistant commissieners , went round to reconnoitre and inspect tbe works in different places . Besides , we embodied some of the brave Fokeen sailors , to tbe Dumber of more than one thousand men , and prepared rafts and straw to make attacks by fir * .
On the evening of tbe first day of the fourth moon ( 21 st of May ) , the great conflict with the barbarians commenced at the western fort . We attacked them { with oar guns , burning instantly fire of their boats , . breaking two of their guns , and smashing two great ; masts of the barbarians' ships . They were now all returniDg , when your Minister , at the fifth watch ( three o ' clock to five , a . m ) was upon th » point of bringing up j his soluiers for thsir extermination ; but all on a sudden the number of their vessels was increased by sixteen ships , eight steam-ships , and eighty ships' boats , which all pressed forward . The soldiers , oh account of . tbe bard fighting during the nigiit , were all fatigued ,, their guns wtre few , and , although they bad fired several tens of rounds , yet , tbe barbarian ships being
strong aad numerous , they could not beat them back . Their soldiers finally got on shore , and rushed to the plunder of tke city , entering the forts at the small and large northern gates , and attacking the town on three sidts . Their rockets were thrown in masses ; their balls bit tbe people ' s houses , and they caught fire ; all our own soldiers bad not a place 10 stand on ; their cinnon was melted by the fire of tbe barbarians , and ths buildings destroyed ( magazines blown up ?) I cannot yet accurately ascertain tbe number of all the soldiers and great officers that were killed and wouaded . We were hard pretsed , and returning into the citymyriads of people were weepirjg and wailing ; the number of those whe invoked heaven and begged for
peace covered tbe roads . When your Minister looked with bis own eyes npon this , his very bowels were torn asunder . In stooping down from the wall , I ma . de inquiries from tbe barbarians ; they all said that several millions of taeis for the surrendered opium bad not yet been paid , and therefore they requested the sum of 1 , 000 , 000 taels ia liquidation thereof , and then they would immediately withdraw their soldiers , and retire outside the Bogue ; that they haJ to make no other request ; and that then the people mi ^ ht go out in their accustomary way . I then asked them about tbe surrender of the whole territory of Hongkong , and they replied that Keshan had siven it them , and that an authenticated paper from him to this effect Lad been placed upen record .
Your Minister theught that the city was in danger ; that there had been repeated disturbances , and that ths whole people were prostrated in mud and ashes ; I therefore &gre « d to this pro tempore ; moreover , 1 consider again that this was a solitary city to be fought against , and that bo ' . h the fat and liver were greatly injured . There waB , moreover , no battle field for deploying a great army , and 1 could not do otherwise than begahe them to go out of tbe Bogue . Taen we shall repair our forts , and again endeavour to attack and exterminate them , and recover our old territory ot Hongkoug . Your Ministers beseech your Majesty to deliver us over to the board that we may be punished , and also to direct that Ke , the Governor , and E , tbe Lieutenant-Governor , be severely dealt with . Respectfully , we present a petition from all the people asking for peace . Your Minister is conscious of not being guiltless . UNITED STATES—ARK 1 YAL OF THE GREAT

THE M'LEOD TRIAL . { From the New York Journal of Commerce . ) The important trial will take place next week , and , in consequence of the illness of the Chief-justice Nelson , Judge Grindlcy will preside . We also lawn that thei « exists no doubt among those who have examined all the testimony , that he will be acquitted . Thus will end all difficulties in relation to M'Leod ' s apprehension and indictment . Trial of Alexa * der M'Liod . —The circuit court and court of ojer and termiuer , which is to try Alexander M-Leod on an indictment for msrder , alleged to bave been committed at Schlosser , in this Slate , on the night of tbe 29 in December , 1 S 37 , commences i ' . s * eas on at TJtica , next Mond * y ( September 22 ) . From a list "f forty-eight jurors , twelve will be drawn for tbe trial of M'Leod . MKenzie , in his Volunteer , says , " I never heard of one of them till now . " He , however , expresses tbe opinion that M'Leod will be convicted .
According to the laws of New York ( says the Volunteer ) , M'Leod . if convicted , cannot by the help of hia British and Websterian friends , carry the matter into tbe federal courts at Washington , for if he was at Sehleosser he came voluntarily into a sovereign state , committed murder , was noJ kidnapped , but voluntary returned and was arrested , and is therefore in tbe same situation as if he being a native citizen were indicted in the state . We are not among those , if any there are , wbo expect tkat this dispute will result in war , —yet there is no advantage in blinking the dangers which do in fact exist . There are dangers , and they are serious ones . There is danger from the boundary question .
There is danger from the general imitation of tbe public mind , both in this country and England . Neither nation is in a mood to bear bo mucb from tlae other as they were five year * ago . Both are proud , self-confident , and self-willed . An unfortuuate turn of events may precipitate a war , contrary to the wishes and original intentions of the parties . There are many on both sides of tbe Canada line , who will do ttwir best to complicate affiirs , and renders pacino adjustment impossible . If M'Leod should be either acquitted , or , en beisg convicted , be immeriLitely pardoned , we bave no doubt the afFkir will pass off in the form of diplomacy ; but if be should tw executed , of which we believe there is no probability , then look out for breakers .
Ml Fox a > d the M'Leod Affaib From tbe Journal de Commerce . J —There is nothing in the late news from England that contradicts the intelligence received from Halifax , v . z , that despatches were preparing for Mr . Fox of a r . ature to bring the affair of M'Leod to a crisis . On tbe contrary , all that has pubikly transpired goes toconfiun th-t supposition that the BriUBh Government intends to hold tbe Government of tLe United States to the principles of national law as avowed by Mr . Webster , as all knowledge of the individual state of New York is disclaimed iu tbe transaction . It is purely a national affair , : ind we have yet to learn whether Mr . Fox has received insSrnctiocs to remain At bis post , awaiting tbe decision of a circuit court of thiB state , which , whatever may be its multa
in this individual case , leaves tbe main principle undisposed of , vix , the right of any power to make individuals personally responsible for public acts of duty , performed under the orders of the national authorities of their couEtry . If tbe British nation submits this case to tbe jurisdiction of New York , sho must be prepireA to permit tbe same course to be applied to Sir Alien M'Sab , Capt . Drew , and the forty-five individuals , who fLimed bis force in the attack upon tht " Caroline , " any of whom , coming within American jurisdiction , m * y be seized and tried , a contingency which may happen sny day ; acd thus we should have the new dilemma of Great Britain pretesting against the execution of the sentence of a court whose jurisdiction she had tacitly admitted in the case of M'Leod
an inconsistency , 4 o await tha consequences of which , Mr . W « b 3 ter remains at his post . These are probably " the delicate negotiations" which have been going 011 lately at Washington , and are rcost likely still penflin ; . Sir Robt Peel , the $ rreSrnt Prime Ministtr of England , ia his speech in Parliament , on the 27 th of August , significantly intimated that there were matters under discussion of a nature not yet to be promulgated , and that Lord Palmerston * cautions replies to Mr . Roebuck " were anything but full or satisfactory . " That Ee ^ land derires the jaaintecance of peace , ia nnquestiuBable ; we have yet to learn whether she will purchase it at tbe sacrifice ei a principie , -e-ijich for ever si tor leaves the brave defenders liable to be arraigned as fetecs be / ore any fereiga tribnrca ! , for doing their duty ia obedience to tile ^ rdtr ^ of their superiors . Upon tMs pivot turns tbe whole affair . Men wbo nfleet caa judge of f .-. e probabilities of Mr . Fur .
counterancuig or protesting against a cou < se which places bis country in the above dilemisa . The British nation is arraigned , in the person of ii'Leod ; can eh * go through tbe ordeal of a criminal trial , and if convicted sue for , or receive merer at tbe bands of the governor of an individual state ? Those who traly desire the preservation of pe&c * , will not press upon her such an indigoity as the trial of Mr . M'Leod would in any event entail . If England admits the principle involved in the detention and trial of > ir . M'L . ou , ibe pacha of Egypt , or a governor of one of bis provinces ' , may hereafter teiza every officer of the B : uUh flset which attacked Acre , and try and hang them 03 " murderers .

* - - - - ¦ * - 1 - A HEATT FORGERT . The New Orkvo * Bulletin of tbe 8 th . Bay * -. — " Intelligence has been reoeived here that an individual calling himself John P . Caldwell had forged a letter of credit for 25 , 000 dollars , from the house of Maunsel White and Co ., of th | s city , npo * the banking-house ot Brown , Brothers , aid Co ., ia New York , wkiefa latter firm is a branch of the English firm of that name in Liverpool . Caldw » U is supposed to be tbe Englishman who forged certificates of deposits to a large amount upon several banks of this city last winter . " The Bee states that the letter of credit was sent from Georgetown , D . C ., based on consignment of 1 , 011 bales of cotton . It was paid . —( Another account . )—Two great forgeries have just been perpetrated on houses here by a process somewhat like that by which so large sums were obtained some menths ago . la this ease , one of the frauds was practised on the great house of Brown , Brothers , and Co ., of England , each for about 25 , 000 dollars .
( From the Elmira Republican ) Four Persons Burnt to Ashes !—We have been furnished with the following details of a late horrible catastrophe . The house ef Sylvester S . H . Brown , en South Creek , about eight miles from this plaoe , was consumed by fire oa the 11 th inst , at about eleven o ' clock at night , and four persons , viz ., two sons of Mr . BrowH , one aged eleven and the other five years , Tbom&s Smith , aged fifty years , and a daughter of Ez-kiel Campbell , aged eleven years . The persons bnrnt , we are informed , slept up stairs , while Mr . Brown and hia wife and a babe , who slept below , barely escaped , without saving anything whatever but their night clothes . Mr . Smith was a stonemason , formerly from Smithville , Chenango co . The fire caught from a stove shanty , joining tbe house , Tery probably near the staircase , which prevented a descent of the persons upstairs—we must suppose there was no upper window large enough to admit of jumping through .
State of Parties—Pleasant Prospects . — All the furies of faction are now turned loose at once . VTe are to have a long and violent political strugglebreaking up of the old parties—and old friendships . There is a distinct object in this strife . The daymen bave hoisted the banner of the bank—tbe fight for a bank and nothing else . The state of things at the approaching session of Congress will be extraordinary and exciting . The severance of old political friends will create a fearful war of words—and , probably , the Bowie knife will be brought ia aid of the argument That is the opinion deliberately given in the late dtbate in the house on tho last week's riot , by Mr . Warren , of Georgia , and other respectable members . The abolition question , which must ¥ 0 met at the opening of Congress , und is the first thing to come up , will add much to the general excitement and confusion . — New York Inquirer ,

CRIM . CON . IN HIGH LIFE—DAMAGES ONE THOUSAND POUNDS . MiTFoiiD v . Momneu'x—( Before Mr . Secondary Potter . ) This was an action brought by the plaintiff in the Secondaries Court on Friday , to recover damages from the defendant , for having had criminal conversation with tbe plaintiff ' s wife . Sir W . Follett appeared for the plaintiff , and Mr . Chambers for the defence . Sir Wm . Follett stated the case to the Jury . He said they knew perfectly well that a person who had sustaiaed an Injury such as that of the plaintiff—an injury so serious—the only course he could pursue was t « bring an action for pecuniary damages , without
which be could not obtain a divorce , nor be guarded sgiinst a spurious offspring succeeding to his estates and property . In the present case there were no matters for them to decide , except tbe mere amount of pecuniary damages , as tke case had gone in favour of tbe plaintiff by default , inasmuch as the defendant had placed no plea on the record , nor did he deny the fict ot adultery . He vreuld shortly Btate the case for the plaintiff , who was a gentleman of ample fortune , residing in Hampshire , and was the cousin of Lord It-desdale . Lady Georgiana Mitford , hia wife , was tbe daughter of Lord and Lady Ashburnham . The pa : ties were married in the year 1828 , and at that time the conduct of the parties led their friend * to believe that tU « union would b « & moat happy one . For
several years they did live in happiness and several children were tbe fruit of that union , some of whom had died , but there were three sons still remaining . They continued to live in happiness till tbe year 1838 , and in that year it was deemed necessary by the family of Mr . J > litfurd , [ hat he and Lady Georgiana should reside on the continent . He ( Sir W . Follett ) need not mention the circumstance which requited this sUp . Mr . Mitford and Lady Georgiana removed to tbe continent , and lived fora considerable time at Frankfort , Mr . Mitford hiving previously taken a bouse there . Whilst they were residing at Frankfort , the defendant tbe Honourable Mr . Molyneux , the son of the late Earl of Sefton , and brother of the present Lord , filled the t ffi-je of Secretary to the Legation at Frankfort . Lady
Georgiana had been acquainted with Mr . Molyneux in England , and that acquaintance had been renewed iu Frankfort . Mr . Moljneux frequently visited the house of the plaintiff , and was frequently at their patties . Oa ibese occjsions he showed great attentions to Lidy Georgians , and the greatest friendship existed between the parties . The happiness of tbe plantiff and his lady continued undisturbed till the autumn of the year 1840 . in tbe autumn of that year Mr . Mitford discovered a difference in the manners of his wife , and was at a loss to accouut for the change . Mr . Mitford had occasion to visit Dresden shortly afterwards , and on bis return he feuud that his domestic happiness was entirely destroyed , discovering that the object of his previous care , solicitude , and affection had flown from tbe roof of her natural protector , and was living in adultery with the defendant . Lady Georgiana was up to the
present moment living with the defendant as man and wife . He ( Sir W . Follett ) was afraid he bad not evidence to show thu circumstances of Mr . Molyneux . He only knew him to be the son of a noble and wealthy family , but whether he was possessed of tstates or other property , he was not aware . He moved in a high sUtlun of l-. fe , and had filled the office of Secretary to tbe Legation at Frankfort , the emoluments of which were very considerable . But he had been obliged to resign the office owing to the unfortunate occurrence , he ( Sir VV . FolJett ) was then detailing to them . Had the plaintiff been deprived by death of his wife he would still , bave had tbe melancholy satisfaction , but gratifying thought , that tho remembrance would be associated with virtue . But now bis position was pure , unmixed misery . He would now proceed to call witnesses in support of the case , ami leave it in the hands of the jury to assess the amount of damages .
Mrs . Farrer , the first witness called , deposed that she ¦ sras the mother of tbe plaintiff , and was present at the marriage of her son to tbe Lidy Georgiana Ashburnham , which tyok place in the year 1828 , with the consent of both families . Her son was twenty-four years of age at the time of the marriage . Lady Georgiana lived on the most affectionate tetms with her husband . She ( the witness ) never saw ai . j thing but the most perfect harmony existing between them from the time of their marriage np to their removal to Frankfort , in the ye ^ r 1 S 38 . Several sons , the fruit of their marriage , weTe living .
Lydii Koyce being sworn , deposed that she had been in the capacity of lady ' s maid te Lady Georgiana Mitford . She accompanied the family when they w « nt to Frankfort in 1 S 38 . Oa all occasions Lady Georgiana was most attentive and affectionate to her husband . During their residence in Frankfort , Mr . Molyneux waa in the habit of visiting them . In the autumn ef 1810 Mr . Mitford had occasion to go to Dresdbu , and on the evening of bis departure Lady Georgiaca told witness that ber brother bad arrived that day at Frankfort , and that she was going to see him , tolling her to pack up a small portmanteau , which she did , and Lady Georgians left the house with Mr . Molyneux in a carriage and four , and never returned .
Cross-examined—On one occasion previous to this occtrrence , Mr . Mitford was absent for some time iu England ; on another occasion be vraa absent for a fortnight at Brussels . Mr . Molyneux resided at Wiesbaden , "which 18 about twenty-four miles from Frankfort . Lord Redendale and Colonel Thomas A ? hburnham severally deposed to the affectionate bearing sbowu by Lady Georgiana towards her hus . ba . nd , after theii LTirriage . Tais being tbe case for the plaintiff ,
Mr . Chambers addressed tho Jury for the defendant . He contended that the most blameable person in the transaction was the plaintiff , wbo -was indiscreet tnoush . to leive his wife , a beautiful woman , on the continent , alone for weeks together , amidat all the temptations that must necessarily surround bur iu tbe wsrid of fashion on the continent He called upon the Jury not to give heavy damages , as to persons in a station of life whose every comfort was destroyed in tbe loss of Lis wife , and the estrangement of her affection * . The plaintiff was a man of wealth , and allied by b / ood to a noble family . He had the means of purchasing pleasure , and of possessing all the enjaynients wf life . Ou the continent the manners of the inhabitants were light and frivolous , much more so than the
inhabitants of this country ; and long might it be ere the English people became otherwise . Lady Georgiana was placed unvidst temptations , and amongst a people where tke foibles of the softer sex were looked upon as trifle ? . She was neglected by her husband , and what more probable course , under such circumstances , and in such a land , than the one she had unhappily taken ? There was a mode of proceeding whh these delicate . lowers—if he might use the expression—a mode in v'bich to bring them back to hearth , when they were pL > ced in an ataoapbere which would make them droop and probably die . In foreign society , nothing was so
dangtfous as * wealthy man leaving M 3 wife alone amidst the world of fashion f \ j so long a period as three wi * ks . Pity it was that Mr . Mitford bad not had some kin " * friend who knew something of tbe world , to advise L ^ to remove Lady Georgiaaa from this scene of ttmptatii v n . He might hav ^ removed her when he found her s >^ " uier 3 alter - II was unfair to Lu « y G ; orgiana—it was u vtur to Mr .

absence of her husband . He did so , and in a hasty moment , perhaps , without consideration , Lady Georgian * bad taken that step which led to the present proceedings . It appeared so from ^ the circumstances , because it was quite clear that the visit of Mr . Molyneux waa not preconcerted ; and every thing was done in haste . Lady Georgian taking bnt one small portmanteau with her . It was a c&seof sudden temptation—it was a sudden impulse of the moment—there was bo intention shown of an elopement having been contemplated by Lady Georgiana ; but in an unguarded moment she had taken that step she never could retrace . There was no undermining the affections of the wife on the part of the defendant —it was a sadden Impulse of the moment , which every
one must blame and condemn . Therefore , it was not the heinous crime as might have existed in other cases , where the lover might hare flown from the victim of his passion . They had had evidence adduced to show the kindness and affection that existed between the plaintiff and hia wife in England , but they had no evidence as to their domestic felicity abroad . If the history of this family on the continent were to be gone Into , it would be found to correspond with the history of one half the families from this country on the continent On the continent they knew not what a domestic fireside was . They did not understand it , and when people went abroad they must do as the rest . The manners of this country dropped , and they found themselves different persons—all was gaiety and temptation .
Mr . Mitford and Lady Georgiana were like all foreign visitors ; they had no domestic comforts , their chief pleasures were visiting routs and balls In uninterrupted succession . With respect to darnnges , let them consider the state of the parties ; the plaintiff was a man to whom money coula be ho object ; the defendant was tbe youHgeet son of a large family , and they knew that the youngest son of the richest nobleman was not a rich man . In consequence of this unhappy transaction , the defendant had been compelled to resign his situation as minister of Frankfort , and he had nothing to subsist upon except the small pittance usually doled eut to the younger son of a nobleman . He left It in the hauds of the jury , but they were to consider that while the plaintiff was asking damages at their hands , he was a wealthy man .
Mr . Secondary Potter summed up the evidence , but in so low a tone that he was quite inaudible at the place occupied by tbe gentlemen of the press . The jury retired for about twenty minutes , and returned with a Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , £ l , * eo .

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BAD MAGISTRATES . In 1839 , Mr . Unwin . a magistrate of Mansfield * apprehending an attack from tho Chartists , proceeded to search certain houses for arms , and finding , instead of arms , gome Chartist correspondence , in the house of a person named Brojan , h « seized the papers as treasonable . For th's Broyan brought an action , and obtained a verdict of one farthing damages ^ the Court having been of opinion that the Magistrate had exceeded his authority in the seizure of the paperB . The procedure of the search for arms waa extremely questionable , it must be observed ; the information not having been of the import of any imminent danger , but merely that arms had been collected , and the search having been made by Mr . Unwin in person indeed , but without warrant . W « waive discussion , however ,
on this part of the caso ; we will assume , indeed , that the search for arms was justifiable ; it will be ouough for our purpose that the seizure of papery wae admitted to be an act beyond the Magistrate ' s authority , and the nominal verdict shows that tho jury , with every disposition to look favourably at the Magistrate ' s proceedings , felt under the necessity of giving judgment against the legality of his conduct . The minister for the Home Department , seeing two faults in the proceedings of the Magistrate , —one in his having taken eo strong a step as the search for armB without sufficient information , and tke other iu having exceeded his powers in the seizure of paper ? , —very properly refused to support or indemnify Mr . Unwin , and left him to his own responsibilities for his own errors .
It is now made a matter of charge against the late Secretary for the Home Department that he did not sanction the Magistrate ' s abuse of his authority , and protect him aga ' . nat the consequences justly attendant on it . " L « rd Wharneliffe contended that the Noble Lord had in this , as in the sitter country , manifested a bias againbt country gentlemen . " We do believe that this caso may be taken as an example of what Lord Normanby did also in the sister country , and for which he was so loaded with abuse ; that which , in Lord Wharncliffe ' s eyes manifested a bias against country gentlemen having been the upright course of refusing to ex end protection to illegal proceedings . Lord Wharneliffe
continued" It was tbe bounden duty of a Secretary of State to afford all fair protection to the magistracy , and unless a proper confidence was estaollshed between the Homeoffice and the magistrates , the country could not be well governed . " Undoubtedly it is the duty of the Secretary of State to afford all fair protection to magistrates ; but is the protection of an act exceeding authority in the view of the President of the Council , a fair protection J " If it be , we should like to know where unfair protection can begin . VVe proceed with tho President of the Council ' s curious lecture on tho merits of this case , and the duties of the riome-offioe , in respect of the defence of such
misdoings" The Noble Lord read several passages from the chaTge of Mr . Justice Llttfcdale to the Jury , to show that , so far as arnia vrore concerned , Mr . Unwin was justified in what he did , and then went on to contend thnt , even Admitting Mr . Unwin bad a little exceeded the law in seizing papers while searching for arms , he was , nevertheless , considering all the circumstances of the case , and tbe state ef different parts of the country at the moment , fully entitled to the support and protection of the Government . He ( Lord WbarnclifftJ ) asserted that a magistrate finding papers of such a character would not have done his duty if he had not seised them , and that no magistrate could properly perform the functions of his office if he were to be tied down by such strict rules . Though Mr . Justice Littledale admitted that Mr . Unwin had a right to search for arms where he had reason to believe arms were to be found , he still thought tbat , in searching for arms , the magistrate was not , strictly speaking , justified in taking papers . "
Tho Magistrate had a little exceeded the law , admits tho President of the Council : but for a little exceeding the law he was entitled to the support and protection of the Government . Nay , the Magistrate , Btrwigo to say , would not have done his duty if he had not a little exceeded his duty ; and no Magistrate , emphatically adds tho President of the Council , can perform hi 3 " duty if he be tied down by such strict rules—as what!—the rule 3 of keeping within the law and the bounds of authority . Again and again Lord Wharncliffo confessed that the Magistrate had exceeded his authority , and again and again he blamed Lord Normanby for not having sanctioned and defended the violation of the law .
Mr . Unwin is dead , and the case is now of importance only as it iavolvea the question of principle , whether the Executive Government hhruld or should not extend protection and impunity to magistrates who exceed their authority and violate tbe laws . Magistrates , as it is , are so fenced in by the penalty of treble costs , in caso of the failure of a prosecution , and in the favourable constructions which the law and the judges put onihoir conduct , that in none but very flagrant cases indeed will any one be bold enough to venture 011 proceedings against them ; but this does not content Lord Wharneliffe , who holds that when , notwithstanding all the extraordinary defences oast around them , the law declares them culpable , it is the duty of Government to sanction their offences , and to compaBS their impunitv .
The speeoh of the President of the Council is indeed tantamount to a proclamation to the magistracy that the existing Government gives encouragement and impunity to any breaches of the law whioh they maybe pleased to commit . And this promise of protection in wrong is held out at the very time when ihe disclosures of tho Inspectors of Prisons , iu addition to other examples of frequent occurrence , have made the public aware of the monstrous misuses and abuses of the magisterial authority , and of the necessity of restraining them . —Examiner .

A Michaelmas Goose . —On Saturday last , a robbery was committed at tho mansion of Mr . Briber an independent gentleman residing at Hailsham , in Sussex , under the following circumstances : —It appears that Mr . Baberis a very eccentn ' c character , aad hs 8 a great taste for ornithology . On the day in question one of his maid-servants , named Mary Kusseii , went to her master , and told him that a man had called to say there was a most extraordinary white bird in his paiJr , larger than a goose . The eld gen tleman immediately summoned his groom and coachman , aad all parties having armed themselves wiih gnns sallied forth to shoot the wonderful white bird . They bad not been absent long when the alarm bell at the mansion rang . On arriving at the house they found the maid-servant , to- their exceeding grf ** astonishment , locked in an upper room .
