DURING the hearing of the arson case-yester day at the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice remarked that he noticed from the depositions taken at the Magistracy thaꞌ, in order to avoid stelaying the case over till the next sessions, evidence had not been taken so fully as it might have been. He saw no reason why the case could fiot have been ta en at the next sessions and expressed the- pe that in futuro more evidence would be taken at the Magistracy. The Attorney General stated he supposed that bearing the fact in mind that the accused was in custody, probably they wanted to have the case disposed of His Lordship thought
that doubtless there was some such reason.

In our edition last evening-we printed a special telegram from our correspondent intimating that the torcha On Fat had een pirated, near Canton, and that dur- ing a scuffle which ensued nine cap- tures were effected, one man was killed and a European wounded. As the result of further inquiries we have ascertained that the news of the piracy reached Canton yesterday morning, and learn, that the Firt, trading
on the West River between Canion and
chow, was attacked near Sanshai. The pirates were overpowered one of them was who was wounded in the face by a killed and nine were captured. The European rifle
additional subsidy may be necessary, at the cost of the genes. taxpayer, to meet this desiderium: At a rough quess in the case of our own company, I should think this arrange- ment would probably cost the taxpayer about zoscow, a year. But the unenlightened tax- payer might surely demur, or, in some cases, perhaps wonder why this benevolent idea should be arrested at the circle of Government employda, seeing that there are many hundreds of ather people who are by no means too well- to-do, but who are obliged to travel, and who would welcome the advantage of travelling at the cheapest possible cost. The Crimmissee further recommends thai, in future contracts, the Government should exercise some control over freights, quoting the example of foreign Governments, more particularly the Austrian - ever, the Committee were not aware that the Government, in this respect.
