the fact that Mr, Cartier and Mr. MeGoe were |
absent from London, and therefore there was

gathered trom the following facts which we
tuke from a Parliamentary Report on the
Mersey Docks and Ilarbor Board Bill, In
1863 the steam trade of the port was repre-
sented by a total tonnage ef 756,420 tons; in
1866 itt had increased to nearly double that
amounts or to 1,211,312 tons. For the same
years the cousting trade was represented by
544 tons respectively.

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY-

We have received the Summary Reports:
of the proceedings of the House of Assem~
bly up to the 10th inst. From them we:

‘day last introduced a Bill to raise a loan
lof money for the public services of this
\Island; in fact, a Bill to enable the
/Colony to borrow money for the purchase:
of the lands still held by the proprictors,
in the Colony. This money is to be paid.
in ten years, if raised in the Colony, and
in twenty, if borrowed anywhere else.

sterling ; the rate of interest six per cent. .
The Government will be empawered by
the law to borrow no greater sum than,
this, but it may borrow as much less as it

likes. It is not likely that anything like:
the whole sum will be borrowed at any-
one time. When an estate is to be sold,,
‘as much will be raised as will purchase:
it and no more,
| greater part of that loan will be returned,
‘before another. estate is in the market..
We hope that the Colony will be able to:
borrow money on time, on moderately”
/easy terms, for the present scarcity of.
/ money is generally attributed to the large

‘amounts sent out of the country for the

lands recently purchased by the Govern-

ment. It might be difficult—perhaps

impossible—tor the Colony to borrow the

whole sum at one time, when it would be

an casy matter enough to raise on the

credit of the Colony £30,000 or £40,000,

which, we imagine, is as much as any

single proprietor’s estate is worth.

Some petitions presented praying for

a bounty on mackerel, met with a very

cool reception.

It appears that there was a rather lively

debate on a resolution brought in by Mr.

Howlan, to authorize the Government to

appoint Commissioners to the Small

Debt Courts. The Government were

accused by the Opposition of wishing to

change the law in order to displace the

present Conservative Commissioners, and

Tnown that those holding Tenant Union

had doubtless regretted the extreme course

to adopt. It was also currently reported |
that the Publisher of the organ. of the

aided in his Work by the gentleman who
held the office of Registrar of Deeds under
the late Government, and the fact that the
said Publisher had, at the request of that}
officer, gone to Geergetown at the last
Election, and there recorded his vote in
favor of the hon. leader of the Opposition
and his colleague, would show that all the

Government. ‘The way to secure peace
and quietness was to place those misguided

Philadephia is aequiring a reputation for
murders, The last recorded victim was
Mas. Doreas Magilton. She was tound by
her husbanb extended on the floor, her skull
erushed in and her throat cut from ear to
ear, Close to one of the hands was the ball
of yarn which Mrs. Magilton had been using
inher knitting and at her feet, overturned
was the rocking chair upon which she had
been sitting. Her position on the floor, the
possition of the rocking-chair, and the
place where the ball of yarn was found, all
unmistakeably showed that she had been
approaching trom behind, the blow withthe
hammer upon the top of the head given as
she satin the chair ; that she either fell or
was pulled from the chair to the floor, where
the murderer, not satisfied with the fiendish
malignity he had already shown, finished
the deed by cutting her throat. There was
seven blows on her head, all of them,penctra-
ting the skull, and causing wounds sufficient
to produce death, independent of the cut on
the throat. A man named Winnemore has
been arrested as the murderer, and the temp-
tation was four dollars in money.

Tur Last Wacer or Bartii in ENatanp. |
—There has died in Birmingham a poor old)
man, one event of whose history forms an im-!
portant mark in the progress of civilisation in |
inglind, especially as relating to the old bar-
barous mode of settling disputes, and. trying
causes by the “ wager of battel.” ‘The de-
ceased, William Ashford, was the last person
who was Challenged in an English court to
meet in single combat a man whom he had
accused as the murderer of his sister.” On the
26th of May, 1817, a beautiful young woman
named Mary Ashford, in her twentieth year,
went to dance at Erdington without proper
protection. She left the festive scene at a
late hour, accompanied by a young man
named Abraham Thornton, a farmer's son in
the neighborhood, They were last seen talk-
ing together at a stile near the place, but next
morning she was found dead in a pit of water;
and there were fearful evidences that she had
been abused and murdered. General suspi-
cion pointing to Thornton, he was arrested
and tried for murder at the Warwick Assizes
in August; but though strong circumstantial
evidence was given against him, the defence, |
which was an alidi, obtained a verdict of |
‘not guilty.” The feeling of surprise and
indignation at his acquittal was so intense that
a new trial was called for, and an appeal was
entered against the verdict by William Ash-
ford, the brother, aud next of kin to the mur-
dered girl. Thornton was again apprehended,
and sent to London in November, to be tried
before Lord Stlenborough and the full Court
of Queen’s Bench, Instead of regular defence
by arguments, evidences, and witnesess, |
Thornton defied all present modes of jurisdic-
tion, and claimed his right, according to an-
cient custom, to challenge his accuser to fight
him, and decide his innocence or guilt by the
