Farnham & Co., of Salem, Mass., having shipped her crew for Mon- tevideo and other ports north of the 36th parallel of south latitude, sailed from Boston in March, 1840, for the West coast of Africa, having a valuable as- sorted cargo, for a trading voyage upon that coast. She arrived at Ambreiz, on the coast of Africa, on the 17th of Jane, and landed and disposed of a con- siderable portion of her cargo, consisting of flour, biscuit, soap, candles, tea, fish, furniture, lamber, and der, After recei on board @ quan- tity of ican produce, she sailed for Loando, on the same coast.

From Loando she rée- turned again to A king on board more produce, sailed for St. Helena, where she ar- rived on the 24th of August, 1840. She was ly entered at the Custom House, and had ed at St. Helena twenty-one days, until the 14th of September, discharging and re- corepcert oy when she was seized by her Majesty's ship Dolphin, Lieut. Littlehales, commander, and taken from St. Helena to Sierra Leone for adjudica- tion, on charges specifically set forth in the affidavit of seizure, the opinion of the court, and other papers in the case, The grounds of the seizure of the Jones, as set forth in the affidavits, and subsequently stated by the Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court of Sierra Leone, and by Lord Palmerston, were First—Under the act 2 and 3 Vic. ch. 73, for being found in British waters without having ship’s papers onboard, and for being therefore without any na- tional character.

In delivering his opinion the American Commis- sioner, in alluding to the grounds on which the Jones was seized, said :— Pi veld Leng hom ageps ave Satiaey, 6d bert aol are alle; a separat founda of seizure, and each of them is bared ‘on differeat statutes. It {9 eae elear, however, that the firet charge, ‘‘ of being found in British waters, without having ship’s papers on 77 is not an offence, as alleged, under the 2d and ‘8d Vic., and that no jurisdiction over or right of scizure of the vessel exists by that statute, whatever may be her pers, except. as based on her connection with the slave je; and this view of the statute is important, as an erroneous ‘usin this position. This act empowers British cruisers “to capture Portuguese vessels enguged in the slave trade, and other vessels in the slave trade, not Deing entitled to claim the protection of the flag of’ any State oF nation; and, by ita terms, unless the charge of engaged in the slave trade is sustained, it becomes terial whether the Jones had papers or not, #0 far as the statute of 2 and 3 Vic. is concerned. ‘The charge fore, “of found in British wa ‘tera without having ship’s papers on board, and having mo national character,’’ is no allegation of an offence t 2 and 8 Vic. and the whole proceeding, #o far as it is based on that act, fulls to the ground.

During that er that alaw was paesod by the Mexican Congress, authorizing the raisin; g of fifteen millions of dollars by the hypothe- cation or sale of church property. Afterwards, in the same year, the Congress, by law, gave extraor- dinary powers to the executive authority to raise immediately five millions, by the sale of the said proverty. The house occupied by the claimants be- longed to the church, and they, being notified that it was to be sold, determined to purchase it, The Mexican government accepted their proposal, and an agreement was drawn up, by which the claim- ants undertook to pay a specified amount in differ- ent payments, for which the government was to transfer to them the ownership of the house, with the proper muniments of title. The government ordered the contract to be properly drawn up and duly executed by its authorized officers. It was finally signed by ‘the claimants, and the money de- posited in the hands of a banker, to await the exe- cution of the contract by the government; but, in consequence of some inattention of those charged with this duty, it was not executed by the vernment. In this state of the matter a revolu- tion occurred, aud the new President was authorized to annul the laws for the sale of church property, which he did. Remonstrances were made by the claimants against this proceeding, and while nego- tiations upon this subject were going on, the tenan’ of the house, under whom imants were sub tenants, commenced a suit against them for rent, and they sct up their purchase from the govern- ment in defence, and a satisfactory Hy beeny was confidently expected, when the city of Mexico was taken by the United States forces. Not long after that event the military secretary of the commanding general notified the claimants that the general would confiscate this debt owing by them, as prize of war, it being Property belonging to the Mexican govern- ment, and this was done accordingly. The General gave them a certificate that this money was confiscated as a prize, put them in pos session of the house, and received the money, ey continued to enjoy unmolested possession of this property during the occupation of the country by he United States forces. After peace was made, and the government had been surrendered to the Mexican authorities, the church then claimed this property, and commenced a suit for it in the Mexi- can courts, which, by apy , these claimants car- ried up to the highest tribunal, where it was decided exico would not acknowledge the acts of the [Spkesine de facto, represented by the command- Ing general, and the claimants were dispossessed of their property. They now seek remuneration for their loases from the United States. In this case we have only received the argument of John Addison Thomas, counsel and agent of claims for the United States, before the Commis- sion. It presents an elaborate treatise on inter- national law. The grounds upon which the learned counsel opposes the claims of the Messrs. Laurent are founded on the principle that international law regards eve: erson as belonging to, and a citizen or subject of, that country where he has his domicil. He contends that a British born subject living in Mexico, and engaged there in trade during the war between the United States and that country, had changed his national character, and could not be considered a “British subject” within the meaning of these terms, as used in the convention providi for the settlement of claims of ‘British subjects” upon the government of the United States, and that the Meters. Laurent, being, therefore, citizens of Mexico, the Commission had no jurisdiction in the case. No decision in this matter hagas yet been given. The New Jersey Raliroad and Transporta- tion Company. The annual meeting of the directors and stock- holders of the above company was celebrated on Monday, in the City Hotel, Newark. At eleven o’clock in the morning there were about eighteen gentlemen present, and as noon approach- ed the room became exceedingly thronged. Amongst the stockholders and members then pre- sent, we noticed Ex-Governor Pennington, of New Jersey, R. W. Stiles, Esq., Stephen Whitney, Esq., Colonel Scott, Doctor Goble, General J. W. Darey, and a crowd of other influential gentlemen of the neighboring State. The meeting was brought te order at twelve o'clock, by the directors calling R. W. Stiles, Esq., of Morristown, N. J., to the chair. Colonel John Kean and H. J. Southmayd, Esqrs., acted as secre- taries to the meeting. Col. Kean read the-minutes of the last meeting, which were approved of. It was moved and seconded, that a committee consisting of J. G. Goble and J. J. Chetwood, Baqs., be appointed, for the purpose of arranging for @ s0- cial entertainment in fhe evening. The motion was carried unanimously, and the committee immediate- ly set to the mance of their plesting Ge. John P.

After a brief review of some general matters, it passes to a recapitulation of the pro- ceedings of the year. In order to enlarge the accommo- dations at Jersey City, it became necessary to buy out the ferry company, all other negotiations to secure the ob. jecta desired having failed. The rights, stock, &., of ‘that company were therefore purchased for $485,000, bonds of the railroad company being given for this amount for ten years, at sim per cent. Under this ar- rangement the entire transfer has been made, and the board of directors congratulate the stockholders on having them secured highly important ferry rights, valuable Property and exclusive privi leges of the ferry company. fhe latter have been confirmed by several autheritative decisions of the State and United States courts. The Common Coun- cilof Jersey City have exhibited a spirit of liberality to. wards the improvement contemplated, and have given the sanction on their part. Seven separate slips are to be provided in front of the blocka of reclaim. ed lands, which with facilities on the New York side wiil enable trips to be made almost continually, furnishing a capacity for business equal to several ferries. The ac: commodations for the public in this respect can be better providea by one company of large capital than by seve- ral small com, s. In December last the Erie Railroad trains commence] running through the Bergen cut on a six feet gauge, pro- vided by an extra rail—and though some ts and interruptions at first occurred, for several months none have taken place under the arrangoments adopted.

A poll was then ordered for the election of directors for the next year. Jabez V. Pennington, Jacob Van Arsdale, and Doctor Chetwood acted as inepectors, ‘alter Rutherford, Bsq., offered a resolution, passed already by the Belleville Railroad and Trans- portation Company, suggesting the opening of a new line of road, in order to secure & more frequent communication between New York and the former town. The document contained a promise that they whould raise the sum of $50,000 in Belleville, in order to secure the object sought. It was referred to the committee appointed to consider the annual report of the directors. The report of the committee, who had carefully considered the annual peporie ves read. The, com- mittee recommended that the report of the directors be accepted.- It approved of the action of the directors in the matters of the purchase of property in Jersey City, the makiug of branch roads, the outlay for equipments and appliances recommended in the annual report.
