An Ambassador from Pitcatrn’s Island. (From the London News, Oct 19 ] Among the ngers by the Orinoco steamer, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday, from the West Indies, was an inhabitant of Pitcairn’ Ieland, colebrated as the residence of tho descend- ants ofthe mutineersof the Bounty. He was the bearer of deepatches from Admiral Moresby. in the Pacific Ocean, and his object in coming to England is to obtain some assistance for the religious educa- tion of the* people of Pitcairu’s Island, and to in- duce the government to allow Englieh ships of war to visit the island oftener than they now do. The individual alluded to is about sixty years of age, and about twenty-five yoars ago visited Pitcairn, und was allowed to remain on the island as a roli- | gious teacher, and to practise medicing@ He is almost the only stranger ever allowed to remain at Pitcairn, and to be considered as one of the com- munity. The inhabitants of che island in question numbered, when he left, eighty-six females and ep a males, who are nearly all descended of the Bounty mutixeers, aud three Tahitan women. They are still remarkable for their moral and reli- gious character, chiefly through the teaching and ex- Smplo of Adams, the chief mutincer A president of the community is clected every year, but he has little todo. There isno penal code, for the whole commnnity live as one family, and, having no money and-prohibiting strovg drinks, there is no temptation or inducement to crime. All the land is held in common, and no one is allowed to trade for himself The coin in the island amounts to about eighteen dollars value. If every waste spot were culti’ d, Pitcairn, which is about 44 miles in circumference, would maintain about 500 persons The climate is gcod. ‘The thermometer never rises to above 86 degrees, nor falls below 55, The men and boys all bear arms, and they could defend the | approaches to the island against a thousand fight- ing me No ship can approach without a puot.

They chew and smoke | tobacoo, which they obtain from American whalers | which visit them for supplies of fresh water, yams, and potatoes. Tho island would grow Indian corn and tobacoo, but neitber of these is cult vated, because it would impoverish the ground. Tobacco grows wild, but it is rooted up us a weed.

Our bands are tolerably-full in the Rast. A telo- graphite deepatch, receivel via Trieste, and dated ‘rebisend, the 25th of al Le mheg states that ‘“‘a force of nine thousand men had been landed by the English authorities on tho shores of the Persian Gulf near Bendor- Busehir—their destination understood tobe Herat.” On the day whieh brings us this in telligehce we have also the Indian mail, by which wo learn that our operations in Burmah are drag- ging their slow length sluggishly along in a way that greatly strengthens the views we formerly ex- pressed upon this question. Thepresent estimate is, that our force will not reach Ava till Marsh next ; and meanwhile the Burmese have full opportunity for resid bem the: various positions that stand between Rangoon and the capitol. Prome, which only the otherday was taken almost without resis- tance by the steamers under Uaptain Tarloton,is now said to be filled by an army ot from ten to fifteen thousand Burmeze goldiera, whilst other considerable bodies ot the cnemy have been etationed at the places where Hey may best impede the operations of the British. The force under Gen Godwin hasnow been swelled to over17,000 men. Ifhe stops mnoh longer inactive where he is, he may noed 27,000, or any other number, to finish the work entrusted to him He eeems inclined to sleep away the time till the waters full, and then he must march by land Cap. tain Tarleton, whe made the dash up tho Irra- waddy, and demonstrated how tho war could bo speedily brought to a close, has, it is said, been su- perseded in his command. Why is this? Why should the officer, who has performed the smartest service on these waters, be prevonted from pursuing the success he achieved, and helping to secure the Fen successes for which he pointed ont the way? ‘rom time immemorial, pipo clayed incompetence has always beon but too ready to thwart rising mi- litary and naval talent. Les us hope that this muy not other flagrant illustration of shat sort of sin. One thing is quite certain, that the public will require to be satisied why Captain Tarleton has been superseded, ehould it prove true that the commander of the expedition has really ven- 1 | tured to remove the conductor of the Promo exp2- | dition from his post on board the war steamers It may be that this removaljis under pretence of makin; Captain Tarleton, more usefulselsewhere: but suc! flimsy pretexts should they be offered, will not | suffice to cloak any more subile and mischievous motives. The chief commander being a military man, mey not perhaps desire that the naval arm of the expedition should put a speedy termination to | the strife in hand. Such profes:iodal jealousies havo before, and may again, do infinite mischief to the public service; and of this, the officers whom it may concern should be reminded quarreling on hand in India, that no time should be lost in deciding our differenoss with the court of Ava.

Death of one of Burns’ Heroines, (from the Glargow Mail. Oct. 17 Some sixty-six years ago, Robert Burns, tho Scottish poet. lived in the vicinity of the town of Mauchline. He was then in the twenty-fifth yoar of his age, a jolly young bachelor, and of course, {aa what bachelor in a country town is not ?) on speaking terms with all the fair maids in the local- ity. Beauty, then as now, was abundant in and around Mauchline, but there were six of the fair sisterwood who seemed tohave found especial favor in the eyes of the bard, although as might have been expected, there was one who excelled all her compeers in his estimation. The names and attrac- tive qualifications of the six bonnie lasses are thus entwined in a stanza which the poct wrote at the riod alluded to :— “In Mauchline there dwells eix proper young belles, ‘The pride of the place aud the neighborhood a’ Their carriage and dress a stranger would guoss Tn Lon’on or Paris the’d gotten them a’. Miss Miller's is fine, Miss Markland’s divine ‘Miss Sinith she has wit, and Mise Betty is braw, ‘There's beauty and fortune to get wi’ Miss Morton, But Armour's the jewel for me o’ them a’.”? In process of time, Burns, 1 the world knows, got jewel, hia bonnie Jean ; Miss Miller married a Dr, MeKenvie ; Markland the divine became the wife of an officer in the Excise of Greonock, named Finlay ; Mies Smith became the spouse of Mr Cand- lish ; Miss Betty (Miller) became Mrs Templeton ; and Miss Morton gave her beauty and her fortune to Mr. Paterson, merchant in Mauchline Time rolled on, and the rival beauties became mothers, and some of them ultimately grandmothers—“ thus runs the world away.” 1n1550, according to Robert Cham- bers, only two cf the famous “ belles’ (for the sim ple and somewhat rude lines of Burns have boen me and will be poetic immortality to them), ro- mained in the land of the living. These were, Mrs. Candlish, mother of Dr. Candlish of the Free Church, and Mrs. Paterson, then a respectable widow Indy. We have now to announce the demise of the latter. This event, which, considering the | advanced age of the lady, need scarcely be called | melancholy, occurred at Maucbline on Friday morn- ing the 1bth of October.

The departure of the Georgia enables mo to fur- nish you with @ short letter for the HrgaLp. Jamaica is as she has been for a long time now. If there be any change in our social and political condition, it is decidedly a change for the worse. Deeper and deeper do we sink daily into the slough of misery and despair. Our agricultural prospects are alarming, and it seems pretty cortain that with- out a total revision on the part of fhe mother coun- try, of the present sugar policy, the production of that staple in this country will dwindle down to little more than will be sufficient fer home con- eumption—thatis, consumption in tho island. How, then, are our institutions to be kept up? And such institutions too!

We have about half a dozen salaried officials—called a council—(a miniature House of Lords)—and the acts of the popular as- sembly must receive their assent, and that of the Govesnor, before they can become a law. Ofcourse, retr@ichment would affect theso salaried officials, and therefore they put their veto on all measures contemplating a reduction in the expenditure; and this has been submitted to by the poople of Jamaica for years past. How much longer they willconsent to have their rights invaded by this miserable oli- garcby, I am unable to say. The weather, for the last two weeks, has been very rainy; and om one or two occasions the wind has been so high that I might almost say we have had a burricane. Thick clouds, which lower whilst I write, portend still more rain. Much damage has been done to properties, and our streets are fearfully destroyed, so much so, indeed, as to render them ac: tually dangerous to drive through. The works of the Water Company have likewise sustained great dam- age. anda Laripiet ly geile in the supply of wa- ter to the public has been the consequence. Soareely a mail, for tho last two weeks, has arrived at tho Post Office hore at its proper time, the innumerable rivers over which the post-men have to ride, being so dreadfully and alarmingly high. When the pro- sent weather abates, wo may expect a fine, cool atmosphere; at present, with all the rain that has fallen, the atmosphere is very close and sultry. The small pox still rages in many parts of the country, but may be said to have abated—almoss entirely disappeared, in Kingston. The Governor has issued his proclamation calling tho Legislature to meet for the despatsh of public business, on the 9th of November. Last night there was some disturbance on the public equare of this city, between tho black sol- diery—or a coction of them— and the civilians.

Immediately the entire assem- blage rushed to the door, and while crowding out, a man claiming tobe the owner of the negroes, who had been standing near Mr. Sloane during the entire Proceeding: said to him, ‘ Here are the papere—I own the negroes—I'li hold you individually responsible for their escape.” At the same time he said to Mr Rice, ‘I gave you the papers onee, and will hold you, too, responsible, for you might have stopped them!’? ‘The above is a statement of the facts, as we have de- rived them fiom several citizens present during the whote | transaction, and we presume it {s substantially correct. | If £0. the mode of proceeding on the part of the claimant, | and of Mr. Marshal Rice, was certainly « singular one— | not evem approximating to the requirements of the fugi- | tive slave law.

The youth of course—thoy must fill those places which become vacant by the passin, away of the old and learned men. The training of children is a very important matter, and if attended to rightly, the best results will follow. He said that there was no society he took more interest in than the Youth’s Missionary Society. He then went on to say that if the youth of this country were proper- ly attended to, che number of bad men and womon would be greatly decreased. At the conclusion of Mr. Rockwell's addross, the following hymn, which was composed for the occasion, was sung by the children :— Heavenly Father, ‘tis Thy bless Cheers the sunny hours of youth, Helps us onward to be pressing In the ways of holy truth— Teaches us substantial pleasures, Giow in every youthful breast— Who bestows the gospel’s treasures On the children of the West.

The only way in which a man can pomelnae him- self is through the youth. He would press home the necessity of good training, and desired it to be im- rossed upon their hearts, that the children did not long to their fathers, but to God whois the father of all; they were only their foster fathors. There- fore, God expected from every father the right train- ing of his children. This world has only got ono Redeemer, and the result of any enterprise is total failure, whon that principle ie not embodied. Mis- sions are the onl. 4 means for man’s redemption. Men may cease to live; but let the word of God be everlasting and hia word be proclaimed te all nations of tho carth. There has never been a human being converted to God except through tho instrumenta- lity of his Word. God will not receive any who do not come to him through the blood of Jesus Christ. ‘Throw around little children a holy influence, that they may exercise and teach thore eiesioed to others. He concluded by warning fathers to train ep meet children in a way that would be pleasing to tod. At the conclusion of the address, a collection was taken up; after which several hymns were sung by the choir. The exercises taen closed with the beng- diction, which was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Camp- bel), the pastor of the church.

AGTION FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION-—VERDICT, $3,000. i Oct. 30—Lucus E. Bulkeley ve. Charles Bainbridge Smith and James H. Brush.—The of this case have been pants pepeeteg and it will be recollected that Mr. Eugene Ket who was also a defendant in the action, was dircharged from the complaint by order of the court. Mr. F. 8 Cutting having summed up on Friday for the defendants, and Mr James I. Brady for the plaintift— The Chief Justice this morning proceeded to. charge the jury. He said :—The piaintitt in this caso is a lawyer. and the defendants are also lawyers. ‘The pate ard complains that they acted in concert, and instituted a criminal prosecution against him, in con. sequence of which he had been subjected to arrest and public trial, and exposed to great infamy and dia- aad without reasonable eause to justify it. If that 80, it is undoubtedly a very high oifence against the law, especially considering the position of the defendants, In order to determine this mattor, it is important for you to understand that it is not necea- rary for you to determine the guilt or innocence of Mr, uikeley. It often happens that an honest and careful msn prefers a criminal accusation, believing it to be on just grounds, and it afterwards turns out there was no ground, ana the man is acquitted; but it doos not follow that # purty so acting is responsible. The law, therefore, authorizes a criminal prosecution upon reasonable ground, and presumes the party acted with good faith 6nd probable cuus@ and this must be proved toa jury by a state of facts. It is not necessary, in a case of this kind. to prove actual malice. The Jaw implies malice if the case be such that reasonable and probable cause pot exist. You may imply malice for che want of a pro bable cause; but you vever can imply a want of a pro cause from taolice walicious motives. still if ther a8 probable cause to ent case, therefore, the introduc tion of evidence of malice by the plaintiil.on the part of Mr. Smith and Mr. Bruch. has vo other effect than that of enbaveing the damages, in case the plaintiff should recover His Honcr then proceeded to recapitulate at length the evidence on the trial; and continued—The case turns upen the point whether Mr, Bulkeley swore on the trial, in the Common Pleas, that he interest in that trial; and, from the state of the evidence, it isa difficult matter to determine this fact But, according to the view I take of the Jaw, that is not the sole point bs ao which the case is to be determined; beeaure. although if you should eome to the conclusion that Mr, Bulkeley did swear that he had no interest, there are lrgal inferences resulting from it; but if you should come 0 the conclusion that he did not so swear. then you will exemine another point: Whether, under all the circumstances of the caae, theve defendants, Smith and Brush, had reasonable ground to believe that be did so swear, and whether they acted with honesty and good faith, in instituting the prosecution; ana in determining this part of the subject, it is important you should nu- detstend the meaning which was attached to the word ‘interest.”” And. as to this you must consider the trans- actions between Mr. Bulkeley and his client, Mr. Brad- Jey, and the notices for payment of the damages and costa which Mr. Bulkeley served upon the defon dante. If Mr. Bulkeley has involved himself in a dif fieulty in this case, it arises from bis communica- tions to the defendants, with the view to preveat a settlement between his client and the defendants of that action. while he had « lien for his costs, It, upon the whcle case, you find that Mr, Bulkeley did swear that he was not interested, or if you pnd that he did not co swear, then you will consider whether the de fendants had reasonable ground to suppose that he did swear he had an interest. and acted in good faith aud ia pursuance of tbat belief Mr. Bulkeley was the trial, as,in my judgment, he must have been be granted that M. Bulkeley did swear on the trial that he was not interested, I doubt very much whethe: the kind of oath upon which he ought to have been in. dicted, Witneeses are not ordinarily examined in that way as to their interest. Supposing he had an irrevocable yoner of attorney, or an assignment. and he was asked if @ bad any interest in the result of the case, and said no, it might be simply a mistake of judgment en the part of Mr, Bulkeley at to the legal effect of those papers, You are not to inquire into the guilt or innoocnoe of Mr Bulkeley, but whether the parties acted either tn good or in bad faith on this occasion, before the po ico magietrate. You will consider whether Mr Brash was a privelpal prosecutor in these proceedings. Mr. Brush’s counsel insists that there is mot sufficient evi- dence to charge him as an acting prosecutor in the case, That isa point you are to determine on the evidence. ‘The 1aw on the subjcot is, that when parties concert in action together for aiding and assisting each other in prose cuting,they are both responsible as prosesutors, Now taking the testimony of Mr. Saudford, I think there is po question that Mr. Brush was acting in aiding and concerting with Mr Smith in this affair; he was in com- pany with Mr. Smith before the police magistrate, ia making the affidavit, and in that way he appeared to be acting ip concert with him. On the o:her hand, accord ing to Mr. Smith’s statement, he did nothing except as a friend or as a witness, On this point you will weigh the whole ot the testimony before you. if you come to the conclusion that you are net satisfied that Mr Brush did co act in concert with Mr. Smith, then you wili ac quit him on that ground solely; 1€ you consider he was acting, then he stands on the same footing as Mr. Smith, and hia acquittel will depend upon the considerations of law as connected with Mr Smith. Now, gentlemen. it is competent fer you to find both phe defendan's guilty, | and to orcesy the damages againsé them, and discharge one and find the other guilty, and assess the damages pguinrt bim; and you are at liberty, alko, to assess sepa. rate damages against eitber—the law authorizing different degrees of punichment. Respecting the damages, you are not to regard what was said or done on the former responsible, In the opinion of the District Attorney, the Grand Jury, er apy ore cise. We are to judge of the case as it now appeara, and you are to ditpore of the matters of fact laid before you in roterence to the law, as [ have laid it down. The jury retired, and, after nu absence of neatly two hours. brought ina verdict fer the plaintiff axsessing the damages at 2.500 as against Smith, and $500 against pruro, T, SMIUM CXPressed NF tutewtiom to anyeal Superior Court—General Ter: DECISIONS Present—Chief Justice Oakley, and Hon, Judges Duer, Campbell and Bosworth, et, al.—Motion for new trial granted, on payment of costs of term and trial, and $10 costs of opposing this applica tion. | William W.
