Mr Duddell then complained that too short a time was allowed for consideration; ko had not seen the drafta before he came to the mooling; and on a former occasion the residents had been naked in the same way to put their name to a Alomorial which he bad done with considerable reluctanos. This led to a good deal of conversation, ending in proposal to adjours the meeting till a future day. It was explained that there drafts were merely drawn up to be submitted to the meeting for their approval or amendment,

A LITTLE before noon to-day (Tuesday) a Na, tive Indian Servant on his way to the Gar. den at West Point for somn flowers for his em- ployer was attacked by three Chinese, near

the hands of a liberal Executive.

The 8th clause of the draf petition reads, *Your Brillioners canost too strongly express thest conviction of the bad moral affect produced on the mlede of the Chinese by the present system adopted in the Supreme Court, whereby the ends of justies are too often frustrated, and parties oorking redraw are obliged to call in the assistance, in Civil enito, of Attorneys, whose charge are excessive, but whose servicm aro ?rindared dreessary by forme which none but an Attornay under-

alanda ; wheresa these, in the opinion of Your Petitian. ere, should be so simple as to wimit of any one pleading

his own cause."

Parties on the spot will understand that this refore especially to the expenses of litigation in Hongkong, and to the heavy bills of costs which have been run up against Chinese suitors, who ignorant of our laws and acting upon bad ad- vice, have rushed into litigation when they had no chance of success. But to others the fan

Furius wrong in the court itself; such an opinion is tely Mr Cameron of the Royal Engineer Dupar-foreign to the gentlemen who drow up the tment was passing with a capital dog which fastened on one of the rascals; he was captured and lodged at the Central Police Station.

We might avail ourselves of the publication of the drails to descant at greater longth on the matters to which they refor; but this appears in a great degree uncebessary, as we feel en isfied that our readers will think over them calmly. There certainly is a general desire that these documents should embody the opinions antertained by a majority of the European inha- bitants of Hongkong.

We have much pleasure in publishing the subjoin ed Circalar from the Contul at Amoy. The Con- sut has apparently found that his former restrictions ware unnecessary, and much to his credit has not only withdrawn them, but arramped with the Hau- kwan to dispense with shipping off and landing chops akogether:—

per head, but wore the British government to saddle 6,198 3

Auligue with the Barbada establishment, the rate would be raised to upwards of 32 per hood, an a- mount which the colony could not bear. This is precisely what has been done in Hongkong, with a population less than that of Antigua we have an ex- penditure greater than Barbados; to pay which the fired population (Chinese included) would require to be taxed at the rate of ?4 a band, a burden which is not borne by any British possession, nor could the rerourced of any colony support it.

Many of our readers have probably been ignorant of the existence of " the Journal of the Indian Archipelago," and our duty of directing observation to it has been too long neglected our present notice is purposely brief, in order to give an extract from the prospectus, where the design of the work is fully disclosed :-

Tus attention which, for some time past, has been attracted to the Indian Archipelage recent approximation to Europe by the ment of steam communication, encourage the hope that the time bas now arrived when a Journal de E-voted to this region may meet with readers. After the period when the writings of Me ManaDEN, Sir T. 8.

and at Macao than it does at Com sing-moon, but much is undoubtedly the fact, and because is readily explained. Foreign merchants in Canton only sell opium deliverable in the outer waters that is at Cum-sing-moon, Macao or Hongkong. the buyers pay the money in ad- vance and receive orders for the drug, which is delivered at the place named on presenta tinn of the orders. It is needless to say that these purchases are made with the full intention of snuggling the opium into China, and that Cum-sing-moon possamos peculiar advantages for this sort of traffic with the Canton river. Re- cently, however, a rigid blockade has been es- tablished by the Mandarins, and the smuggling boats are only allowed to pass on payment of a fee (or duty) of 650 a chest, and in conse- quence the market value of opium at the ropean settlements, where the trade is free and unletiered, is usually $10 a cheat above the Com-sing-moon rate.

We have repeatedly expressed an opinion that ultimately thin colnay will be the seat of a large trade in opiums, both no regards the ex- tensive purchases of the professional Chinese contrabandistas and the moderate dealings of the Junk traders. To's considerable extent this opinion luss been verified, and if no “un- toward affair" intimidates the Chinese, at no distant day the whole or nearly the whole of the Cum-sing-moon trade will be concentrated

This, how- ever, might only be considered as a what to their appetites before dinner; for the parents made re- pasted and persevering attacks upon three or four magpis natis sometimes during half an hour at a time As the defence was spirited and gallat, they were often repulsed ; but, finally, I found die remains of young magpies under the favourite parch of the young uwli, sad one morning the bloody hand and feathers of the old magpie, con spicuods from its size and the want of any cerone skin about the book. This, then, I thought, must have been taken when mosting. In, 1845 the vid owls alone were seen, and they passed the summer in sodato retirement, and seemed to rest from the labourn of propagation: neither did they molest the magpise. But in 1848 they began to be vary, astive early in the spring, and by the beginning of May again had their young swiata out upon the branches. Walking out about nine clock ona evening, I heard a pertinacious attack going on against a pair of magples that had their nest in the top of a rety tall ayoumore. At last, Instead of the frantic chattering of the poor magpies, one of them began to shriek in agony like hare when caughtio Roose, and it was evident the owl was endeavouring to drag it out-the mother birde-by I rao the head from the entrance of the nest.

The Quron was much pleased with what was to her such a novel manufacture, and made many and particular inqu?cios as to what the ma terial, where it was manufactured, and even obtained from her fair inforonel the mama and address of the humble wearer of the admired ar tiels. Her Majesty commanded that an arder should be forthwith despatched to the waver, who anides in Neath, for a large quantity of the same material to be sent to her immediately. The honest Cambrien, sot being used to receive spletira from such high quarters, could not understand what it was all about: so he carefully folded up the letter and put it sway, thinking th? the safer course. The lady had by this time returned from her visit to the Highlands to the neighbourhod of Nath; and, thinking it not unlikely that the Queen might have ordered the man to be written to fut the fantal, webt to bim, and waked if he had had a feltor from the Court Finding that be bad mooived such a Ropal minira, but had done nothing with it, the Infirmed him of the real state of the car, apd, selecting from the astonished areaver's stock such flannels as the thought would ruil, immediately despatched them to her Majesty. The lady and senrouly done so, when a second letter from the Queing left at the man's hours, demanding why her Majesty's commande had not been alload. ed to. we only on Friday last that the much. desired flannels were despatched, Should the Queen and the little ones make their appearsace In Welsh flannel, there will be no doubt he to what will be the fashionable material for the co'n ing winter and Welsh Ananel, which few Ladies in England bave ever yol seen, will be ufu pre- mium befafs long.—Cambrian.

There is

no Jury; nor would it be possible to have one, the court setting twice a wook.

We are no aware that Chief Justice Hulme has ever complained of the labour entailed upon him; and if he is willing to hear all the criminal cases that come before his court, there can be no grounds for legislative interference, The community have perfect confidence in the Judge; in the Magistrate, even with his pre- seni limited power, they have not that degree of confidence which it is desirable should exist ; and if the legislature encroaches upon the one court and granta unconstitutional powers to the other, it requires no prophetic vision to predict trouble and veration. Chief Justice Hulme has already saved the colony the expense of one court--the court of requests by adjudi- cating in civil matters where the sum involved does not exceed 100. We do not believe that the drudgery of a small debt court is imposed on any other Chief Justice in a British colony : from this, it is reasonable to conclude, that so far from wishing to be relie ad of a portion of his proper duties he views the act with abhor-

renco.

No grost reliance can be placed upon the reparts of these mestings, as they are carried to foreigners by Chinese who no time pay much regard to troth, li said that the Elders have advised the merchants us discontious making porchases of foreign goods; and this is partly corroborated by the actual state of the market. There can be no doubt that among the people there is a very general determination to deny the right of entry to the city at all bazards. The government would concede the paint rather than a an armed force before the walls; but the power of the government is limited, sod the people do not bold it to grant respect. One rumor current in to the effect that Bau, et an interview with the Elders, istimated that the gates must be opened on the lat of April, sccording to agreement, or the English would force their way in, he not being able to resist. The Elders replied that they would undertake to desl with the English. An understanding was then come to that the matter should be left in the bands of the people.

The murdered officers, and others stationed at Chuck-chu, were occasionally in the habit of calling in the course of an afternoon's walk and getting fire for their cigars, the people always up- pearing frank and civil. When walking in that direction it was not considered necomary to go armed ; but when walking in the oppe site direction they usually carried pistols.

Capt, Da Costa's body was identified before the Coroner and a Jury on Thursday, and since I then they have boen engaged with the evidence.

formance of this delicate mission to M. De Cor-rained by personal experience; a drugged awake which he had purchased cells, we see no reason in regard it as a violation having, at the lapes of three weeks, down M him unexpectedly and ourly Anglows, shower of those principles of ponce and neutrality which strangled hi?n. the French Republia has hitherto faithfully observ ed. It is impossible to admit that murdar and en- pine uro 10 rule uncontrolled in the "Eternal City," and that the head of the Catholic Church is to be axposed, without even the docency of u guard, or the authority of a Government, to all the autrage of triumphant grime. The innocent blood of M. Rossi, whose assassination was doubtless the pre- concerted signal of a frightful revolt, baz intoxicat ed to madnew the shallow intellects of the Italian populsen. A ferocious jubilation of anarchy, hailed the intelligence of that borrible erem in many of the chief cities of Italy; and the people celebrated in choruses snatched from the operas of the day the infamy of a deed which hun sunk their infatuated and miserable ence to the level of savages in the judgment of manking. Under such circumstanceR, and with such a Govoroment as la now called inte exlatence in Rome, it is indispensable that foreiga power should be employed to avert the possibility of a still more atrocious crime. We only hope that the very large British naval fores, consisting of at least six ships of the line, which was lately at anchor in the Bay of Naples, will already have proceeded to Civita Vecchia, where a party of British mariace might with propriety ou operate in the protection of the Pope's person; and we have no doubt that both at Leghorn and Genon the pre- sance of British men-of-war wbuld be no less uso- ful to the lawful governors of those countries, than to our own commercial interests The position Resumed by the Frouch at Civita Vaochin will pro- bably determine the course to be pursued by the lal wing of the Austrian army, which may be called upon by the state of the Legations to extend its operations beyond the Po; for one of the first conditions of the fresh revolutionary morement in lily is a general renowal of the declaration of war against Austria. This state of things is past en durance. It ibrestens every government in Italy it destroy'all that had been won by the countitu- tional case; it may make the Pope e fugitive to another Avignon, or other Fountainebleau:

Accordingly, at a crisis when every other constituted authority has been mater loss shaken, and every other institution tried, the Romish hierarchy has, in all countries where it exists, extended its influence, and more openly displayed its power.

The Church of France participates in the debberations of the Constituent Assembly, and gives to the Republio her support-no longer ??stal on it was to the elder branch of the monarchy -in place of the hostility which was so detrimen- und to the mat regime.

We found the remaining principal sum of commercial debt to be nonly $64,000 ?22,000 had been insured upon his life; there were some moneys in the hands of the trusten, and Mr Cadell very handsomely offered to advance to us the balance, about ?80,000, that we might without farther de lay seule with the creditore. This was efected sccordingly on the Sud of February, 1839 ; Mr. Cadell accepting as his only security the right the profite accruing from Ble Walter's copyright property and litorar? remains, until such time as this new and consolidated obligation abuelid lin discharged. Besides his commarelal debt, Air Walter left also one of ?10,000 contracted by humalf non individual, when struggling to sup- Constable, in December, 1836, and secured by mortgage on the lands of Abbotsford. And, natly, the library and museum, presented to him in free gift by his creditors in Dec. 1880, were bequeathed to his eldest son, with a barden to the extent of ?5,000, which sum he designed to be divided between his younger children, as alrendy

provided that the produce of ble literary property, in case of its proving sufficient to wipe out the re maining debt of the firm, should then be applied |to the extinction of these marigogen; and, there- sher, should thle also be accomplished, divided equally among his surviving family. Various meet ings were held soon after his death with a view to the erection of monuments to his memory; and the record of these meetings, and their results, ara adorned by many of the noblest and most distin guished names both of England and Scotland. la London, the Lord Bishop of Exeter, Sir Robert Peul, and Sir John Malcola took a prominent part a speakers; the result was a subscription of about ?10,000; but part of this was embezzled by a young person rally sppainted to the pest of secre- lary, who carried it with him to America, where Oribe soon afterwards died. The noblemen and gen. lemen who subscribed to this fad adopted a sug gestion-which originated, I believe, with Lord Francis Egerton, now the Earl of Ellesmere, and the Hos. John Stewart Wartley, now Lord Wharncliffe—that, in place of erecting a senotaph in Westminster Abbey, or a status pillar elsewhere, the most suitable and respectful tribute that could with be paid to Bir Walter'amemory would be to die

charge all the encumbrances upon Abbotsford, and anthil the house, with its library and other articles of curiosity collected by bim, together with the lende which ha bad planted and embellished, upon the heirs of his name for ever. The auns produced by the nubaeription, however, proved inadequate to the realisation of such a scheme; and, after much consultation, it was at length sealed that the money in the bands of the commitisk (between 1.7,000 and L.8,000) should be employed to liqui date the debt upon the library and museum, and whatever might be over, towards the meriguge on the lands.

ENGLIH! MISHULE, and IRISH MISDEEDY,

By Avanty ng Viks. Murmy 1819. This is book which under a show of impartial. ity is a one sided apology for the Muls of dishes. The author sanounces it as his intention to dil upon the defects of his countrymen, but in so de ing he isthers them all upon England. The scree tenor and spicit of the four letters of which this Mille rolame is comprood is to make gond the po aition, that the more Bagrant fish mideeds may be, the deeper is the responsibility of English mis rule. These are connected as ouse and effect; all our indignation should therefore be reserved far our forefathers or ourselves, if wa- beerve anything emise on the other side of the Chansel. Lieland, but for Enghali misrale, would be without apos pain, or sio. Prodigality, undrift, idlewens, jobb. ing, aviation by the landlord, and asemination by the KoRD-W, and we alone, are responsible for these crimes. There is no lead under Heares where morality, although a Hiile awry Just now, would have Gourished us in Ireland, but for Eng kah merale.

As all the senders of his little work are left to presting that Bir Au- broy tacity refers them to the fat category, he remains al perfect freedom to indulge in whatever censure he will against the second clues, whom he bas assumed to be guilty of the foolest injustice, There is just a suspicion of nisl pris alice in such a commoncament. It is beginning in the tres Macsycophant style of 'makis' everybody plewood with himself. We mention the fact as showing that the author is no inartistia bookmaker.

no equal participation in the receipts from the sex postage of letters, they placed an additional rate of postage on letters arriving from England in Ame rica, so exampla which we were obliged to follow by charging an additional rate upon l'itars arriving by American ships. The much greater expense was incurred by us, and the much larger sccam- polation funusbed; and it could not have been expectul that we should, therefore, give to others an equal participation in the profits arising from our capital, expenditure, and ponctuality. The system of double charges, however, has operated most injuriously, and it is in corroes the avila thus produced that the convention of the 10th of De cember 1848, line bora ngreed upon. The imme- diste effect of this treaty will be to reduce the pos tage rate from any part of the Ualted States of America to ane shilling for each single letter in. pload of two shillings--to which charge every lat. ter was at least subjret by the late practice. The Is. rute to which each single letter is to be subject. od is to be made up in the following tonner: -14. for the inland rate of letters loving the aulted kingdom, 8d. for the sen rots, and 245 (?iro cents) for the delivery in any part of the United States. The same with letters coming from any part of the United States-24d. for inland rate, ed. for se rate, and lad for delivery in any of the Great Bri- tain. The icloud rate for lettere from one part of the United States to another is five cents within ? curtain area, and ten cents for any greater di tacca, The lower rate has been fixed upou na a Cair pro- portion, considering the greater overage distances

This latter arrangement is perfectly fair and pots no onda to all disputen, for each country will be paid according to the accom- modation afforded. The Post Office authorities on both sides will, of course, issue the uawa) notices that they will send letters by their own ships, un- less utlierwise required by the writers.

This sanctum sanctorum of the Fede ral Union still harbours ike slave desler. Wash- ington is the metropolia of slavery. The president. the senators, and representatives meet in a den of oppression, within the sound of the lash and ho ory of the helpless victim.

The fact is keenly felt in the Union, and a resolution has been carrial by a majority of 99 10 67 voles aiming the suppression of this senodal.

The House of Representatives has now doubly censur. ed slavery.

If Mr Alison thinks wo have given him grudg ing measure of praise, he has wherewithal to con sols himself. No author was evor more serenely arated above the stormy regions of criticism. His work is like the most famous battle it relater; and the practical victory of which he sees auch evidones around him in more than enough to compensate any theoretical proof of his defeal. The Duke ca sford to be told that he did not virtually win the battle of Waterloo; and Mr Align, after a single glance at Mesors Blackwood's books, may suite when he is told by any austere eritla that he hae not written a history. He has writted at lewat that which nine-tenths of his countrymon think one, and which they buy up under every form and per- use at every opportunity. Neither the visit of ten pondera tomen-nor the fatal considera- tion of serious erotlines-nor the issue of other works enronching on the subject, suffices in mb Mr Alison of one jut or title of his popularity.

For certain infractions of the English treaty, Sit John Davis entered the Canton river on the 2nd of April 1947, and after spiking all the guns in the unmanned forta he arrived at the British Factory, Canton, on the 4th with a force of about 1,000 men. With the force he intended storm the city a.

On the 6th the new agreement was settled and the victorious troops were immediately withdrawn to 1longkong.

We are not now called upon to discuss the policy or even the justice of Sir John Davin' bigh handed act; it is enough that it has never been disavowed by the British government, and iberefore the agree- ment of 1847 forms part and parcel of the treaty of Nanking, of which it is in a degroo supplementary, clearly arranging certain pains which Sir John thought were not sufficiently precise, and above all by the first clause, already quoted, sipulating that on the oth of April 1810 the city of Canton shall be apea to British subjects.”

Of the imperative necessity of the step he had waken we may judge by an extract from Sir John Davis' intinuation of bis arrival at the factories, ad- dreasod to British subjects in China:—

When with in bout musket shot of the shore thran Junka open- ed fire, which was instantly retorned from the ship's guns, and three boats manned and sted under the cominned of Lieut. Gordon the Bealor Lieutenant were copatched to carry them by boarding. The Junke kept up a firm for about 30 minutes at the Stemper and also at the boats, several of the shot poing over the Steamer and boats. The Jonka were speedily taken possesion of, and forty five prisoners captured; a great noinber however sscaped to the ahoro and disappeared over the hilla Baveral articles found on board she Jonks prove that these pirates had some hand in the murder of Lieut. Orenas (the Spanish Agent) which took place some time ago. A great number of Sampsas, crowded with people, made off on the approach of the Inflexibl getting up various small creeks. The place was evidrally a nest of pirates. There as Jore huure which was riddled with the In Arrible's abot, and a bouse on the point of a rook was knocked to atoms by a single shot.

The three Junks that fired mounted 26 guns beniden gingalla; name of the former were 39 pound- ero. A atest number of musketa, speare and two hundred swords were found on board.”

TO-BAT we report do lower the three cases of piracyt in one of which we regret to say Mr Dyer and two other Englishmen were mur- dered and an American severely wounded; no doubt the latter would als have been des patched had he not had sufficient self posses. sion to lie on his face in the small forecastle of the cutter apparently dead. For the praticulars of this atrocity we refer to an extract from the "Commercial List.” Much as we regret the sacrifice of human life, we are at the mano tune hound to alinit that there are doubts as to whether these three men were killed by pira ts. It is notorious that several small vessels are actively sagged in carrying opium from Cum-ring-moon to Canton, ovading the Man darin exaction and consequently making large profits. The culter commanded by Mr Dyer was engaged in this illicit trade. and it is quite possible that she was boarded by Mandarior, boats and not by pirates. That the Mandarina have an undeniable, right to acize vessels on- gaged in a contraband trade we freely admit, but they have no right to butcher the crow, We are told that Mr Dyer and his comrades were killed below and not in resisting the boarders; it thus becomes a cam of Murder whether the assailante were marvants of the Government, or whether they were, as alleg.

ed, pirates

The second piracy, or attempted piracy, was an attack upon the Peruvian brig Pacifica. The Pacific was coming from Whampoa with a cargo on board for the west coast of America. She anchored wine 10 miles below the Bogue, early on Saturday morning, the Captain taking the precaution of shotting his guns.

We do not know how far Earl Grey acts upon the recommendations of the House of Com. mons, still less are we acquainted with the in- structions furnished the Governor Br Hongkong by his Lordship as Colonial minister. But this we do know, that nearly two years ago a Select Committee of the Commons recommended,

"That a share in the adininistration of the ordinary and local affairs of the Island should be given, by some system of Mauicipal Go- About vernment, to the British residents,"

to look after civil mattors.

It is alleged further, that Mr Podder acts in a threefold capacity,-

First, he is a Burveyor of Shipping; which is contrary to the rules of the public service.

Second--be is Harbour Master; it being his duty as much tu prosecute under the Harbour regulations.

The meeting took place, and was comewhat hurried and abrupt in its proceedings, the whole affair being comprised in a speech from the Chair- man bringing forward two subjects of grievance- the exclusion of all but a reruis claws from public employ, and the deplorable state of public instruc tion in Java consequent thereod,—and the mon?NE- tion of a Committee to draw up a memorial to the King. It was believed that a number of the lead. ing persons who took part in the proceedings, offi cars high in the employment of Government, pre. vions to the meeting received communications from the unthorities which rendered it impossible that they could with prudence and a proper regard to theft own interests, take the part which they were desirous of doing in the expected deliberations. Notwithstanding, however, all those precautions to make the meeting as harmless_und tamo su af- fair as possible, the Governor General Ishoured under the most cruel approbsasions until it surm- ination, having in readiness a large force of suldiers and artillery, and himself being in the immediate neighbourhood.

Later, a notifion- tion in the Jare courant, communicated the King's entire approval of the Governor General's conduct, and denounced in the severest terms the conduct of those who had taken part in the public meeting in May, and authorised the Governor General to bare recourse to the mom decided mousures when- ever he shall deem thom uscemary, Strange, that a monarch who in Europe outrumo la liberality his ministern, and forces them to sanction reforms be yond their wishes, should display such a decidedly opposite state of feeling in reference to another part of his dominions!

Seminole Anccdute.--The towe?id bravery and tender affections of one of these Indiana nro strik ingly verified in the following anecdota. Ileving taken refuge for some time in the city of BL. Au gueline, and got the nuns of Peter, he mused his revidenes to St. Anseinein's Island, which makes the harbor of the city, empis yed as a hunter by M. Fish, an English gentleman, who owned that is land, and who gave it celebrity by the culture of the sweet orange Peter being alrent, a party of bis vormies crossed the river, surprized hi labi. tation, sud murdered bin wife and two childern On his return, he did not hesitate a moment on L?a marta in pursan; he footword up his homeo containing the dead, repaired to Me Fish's dwelling near by, lo borrow gun that Mr Fish had made with a large bore, expressly for shooting ducks in large docks. In this Petar put an uncommon lund of back shol, and getting into his onnou proceeded up the river about six miles, to a creek on the mak, sa though instinct had pointed out to him the way they went. He had sacended the creek. when a distant amoke curling above the forest, sp- prived him of an Indian camp. He landed, and isklag bis course through the woods of houile country, discovered four Indian man sitting on e log, side by side, the Alih near by, employed in cooking; be circkd mand so as to bring the four in range, crept up close, fired, threw down his gun, and webed up with his tomabawk. The report, the fall of four Indians, and Pets's presence, arm- ad with such a weapon, was so sudden and impres? sive, that the one who was cooking writher at- tempted defence not flight, but became an onay pray to his vengeance. By this time be had die. Covered that one of the fallen was bot wounded, and was endeavoring to reach his arme, but Potes had the advantage In being sleeady armed. On searching be found the scalpe at bis wife and chil-May, dres stretched and hung out to dry, which be brought off, with several articles of property they had been stolen, some of their arms, and the scalpa of the Eve Indians he had killed, the greatest of all Lophios in his conception; returned home, and baried his wife and children the same evening; and literally pined to denth over their grave. This anecdote 1 bad from Me Fish, who pointed out to me poor Peter's grave.—St. Augustine Herald.

Advantages of Conversation.—Conversation calls out inte light what has born lodged in =)) the re- capes and werel chambers of the soul. 800. casional hints and incidents, it brings old useful notions into remembrance; it unfolds and displays the hidden treasure of knowl- dge with which read- ing, observation, and study, have before furnished the mind. By metal discourse, the sool is awaken. ed and slated to bring forth its hoards of knew- ledge, and it learns how to render them most use to mankind. A died of vast reading, without con- vecation, in like a miser, who lives only for himself.

Breach of Promise, -Actiona by young ladies for breach of premies, we bad thought t? be one of the perfections of British civilization. But what spot on the world is not now civilized, or shout to be civilised In half-a-dezen years more the man. nere of mankind, from Chile' to Constantinople, will be as smooth so a bowling-green. ?n Himao, losely, a young Indian fair of brown one, of some distinction in the woode, made her complaint to an old chief of the faithleensa of her betrothed. The squaw merted that she had no souber made up ber mlad to the marriage, than the young chief formed on his heel and chose to marry somebody

che. The coin was brought before the hende of U. B, Ship Plymeth the tribe. The matter wo regarded as touching the public honor, and the old warriors held a grand council on the subject. As, among Indians, there are yet so prefeated lawyers, justice is not quite tardy as it more accomplished countries, and the enon was pleaded by the squaw herself. It con- sisted of sistements of the inquent visita of the young warrior to the wigwam; of his smoking a considerable quantity of har father's tobacco; and eating their venison, whenever he could get it t those attentions so himself, being connected with frequent attentions to the lady, the statiment bo- ing corroborated by seral bunches of feather, yards of Welsh flannel, three fox-taile, and a scalp. The lover was then called on. He denied the charge of the sections altogether. With an air that could not be exceeded by a man of fashion,

bu said, that, though it was true he had visited her father's wigwam, he had done it only when he had nothing else to do, when the beavers were not to be found, or the buffaloes were gone. As to the ?feathers and flannels," be acknowledged that he

had given them, but had given them merely as matters of common civilny. As be concluded his speech, the squaw gave a loud scream and fainted In the arms of her mother. The old chiale pro. creded to judgment; and, whether guided by the justice of the corn, or touched with the sufferings of the aqua, brought in a verdict of damages, sentencing the offender to give the broken-hearted fair one a yellow feather, a brooch that was than dangling from his nom, and a donen beaver ekipa. The ensinoe was no sooner pronounced, than the squaw recovered from her swoon, sprang on her fest, clapped her hands with joy, and oried out,

the Meander. The pirates threw two of the crew overburd; they were saved by a Chins bost, the crew of which either heard beiraries or witnessed the arine from where their boat was moored close to a European ship. It was three hours after the capture before these men lodged information with the police. Had they at once gone in the station house, or stated the faste to the officer in charge of either of the ships of war, it is possible that the pirates would have been captured. They were in an open boat and did not carry their price farther than Stone Culler's island, where she was plundered

and abandoned.

but to prevent mistakes we state distinctly that the letters wore written by British Subjects, and we may add to the best of our belief the writers bour no ill will to Bonhoe? Araural.

The Emperor be given his sasent to the memorial of the High officer who proposed this strange amendment.

It is thought that the Canton merchant visited the Island to purchase the cargo of oil; it in volued at about 92,000. Another of the prisoners was keeper of the Joss house which was destroyed by the shot of the Inferible. An opinion prevails that the whole lot will be handed over to Seu--if not all pi- rates,they certainly harboured pirates, and were fully cognisant of the lawles character of the men with whom they were living on terme of friendship. Por the sake of the example, kow. ever, it were desirable that the sin against whom there is clear proof of murder, bo tried and pu? nished here, if this can be done legally, which we doubt. The murders were committed on board Chinese veel, une victime were Chinese 'jects, and the criminals are also

Chinese subjects. We presume, therefore, that should the Chinese authorities apply for them, wo are bound to give them up; and if they are given up, their fate is pretty certain, as the Chinese code of criminal law has no loop holes by which the guilty can escape. Money, kis true, may purchase indemnity; but if Heu gota his hands upon them, even bribery will not save them from the punishment they have so richly merited.

hail communications from the Mandarine though more in the shape of warnings than posi- pradors have in some instances intimated to their employers that it was probable tho ser vents would be ordered to quit, stating that if they obeyed these orders other sergants could be found. A good many Chinese from Macan have recently settled in Hongkong. This may partly be acomuntor for by the demand for goods which but for some time existed to sup- ply California. Tailors, shoemakers, and other tradesmen have for months been actively em- ployed, and this in itself would draw these people from a place where they were not do. ing much. Immigration to Hongkong is proved by the demaul for Chion houses which has sprung up within the last two months, and which still exista. This prosperity may be bot temporary; it is contingent upon the result of shipments on the way to California, but if ar- ticles of clothing can be made cheaper here than any whore else it will be permanent, giving employment to a large number of peo- plo and improving the value of that clam of houses occupied by the Chinese.

As to an attack upon Macan,—as yet there is no evidence of such an intention; and should the place be invested a ship of war will no? doubt be sent over to receive on board those who wish to leave, if they cannot get away by other ounveyancar, which, however, they will have little difficulty in doing.

As to sending an armed force to assist the Portuguese, that is entirely out of the question. Benhor Amaral must be content to settle bis own quarrels. But it is not likely that the Chi-

Brt of the Inferible's prisoners have been com- mitted for trial before the High Court of Ad. miralty on the charge of piracy ; and thirty-nine have been discharged, there being no evidence to show that they were engaged in piratical pursuits. The three men captured at Chuck. che have also been committed on a similar charge.

In the last and previous issus of this paper we referred to a piracy on the Cowloon shore. We have now the pleasure of stating that on Thursday afternoon a boat with six men was captored off the lower bazaar by the police. Three of these men are identified by the crow of the boat they plundered: they will be ara- mined before the police Magistrato to-day, and, we presume, be committed for trial.

We have repeatedly intimated that correspon dents require to give their names to the Editor, failing which their communications are not at lended to. We believe this is a common rule with the conductors of the proms, and one which we are convinced is essential to the re- spectability of any paper. An Editor is not supposed to have personal knowledge of the correctness of all the statements put forward by correspondents, or the actual existence of grievances complained of; but to him the name of the writer in a guarantee that complaints are not altogether uncalled for, or that in making them public the writers do not indulgo splenetic feelings and are not guided by unworthy mo tives. As to the opinions expressed on public mattor, the Editor in no way indentifies him- self with them, he may entertain similar opi nioas or he may think very oppositely, but so long as the letters are inoffensive in languago, and the writore confine themselves to public measures, they will be inserted if the name of? damard. to the Editor. the writer is confide

Now, this is what the slippery public out of doors says, and it le against this Impression, fabe and unfounded as t in, that the Directors have to contend. It is no clearly to the detriment of the interests entrusted to their charge that military eimony shoald be allowed te cantique, that they is bound to adopt all reason. able step for it suppression None is so likely to be effective so a vigorous and unhesitating prov?cu. tion of all cffenders. If, despite all the precautiona? they can use, the offence cannot be totally extripst ed, nothing will so much tend to render il of unfre- quent occurrence su aurh a course of proceeding.

As for the facts are concerned there never was

■ clearer case than that of “The Queen ?. Kendall and others," which was decided yesterday against the defendants. Mr Moore, the chief witness, with his own lips announced himself an liar to the jury and yet as far as that portion of his evidence was concerned which affected the defendants, it was too strongly confirmed by other circumstances to admit of anything like doubt. Were we to disentangle the actions of this case from the statements of the counsel, every one of whom was naturally in. taressed in making the best light be could for his client, hey would stand somewhat thus. There was living at Plymouth a Mr Moore a shipowner, who wanted a cadutahip for his son. There was in Loa don, at the same time, a Mir Lavers, a kind of agout residing at Lambeth, connected with Me Moure and sware of bis desire. This Mr Levers visited Nim Violet Linley in Foley place; Mes Linky was he- quainted with Mtu Blocken, ■ lady in difficulties at St. John's-wood, and a Bir Kendall had been a tutor in Mr Binckes's family when she was in Irsa em barred circumstances, was known to both the Jodien, and was present in London at the time of the traction. There was a Bir Bickley, besides who was alterday to Mrs Binckes, and whom wife was sister to the same lady. Thus the position of Mr Lavers, Mr Linley, Bits Blankes, Mr Kendall, and Mr Bickley, with reference to each other, is clearly 61d. It was finally determined, with the groter or less privity of all these parties, that a sum of 1,000L should be abfined from Mr Moore for Mes Binckes, and that she in return should use her in terest with Lady Ripon, and obtain for his son the desired cadeabip. Air Moore came up to London.

Neither poles nor the desired cadetship was forth- coming. Mrs Biock-o bad pledged the moton. My Moore, irritated at this seeming bunch of faith, and frustrated of his design, threatened to expose the whole transaction if his money was not restored. By the hands of Mr Bickley this was finally done. Some months afterwards Mr Moore, who had re- turned to Plymouth, received fresh overtures in a letter from Mrs Bincken herself. The cadetship had been obtained from Loid Ripon, through the influ- ence of his Lady, and the sum of 1,000/ first agroed upon was paid in two or three paymrou, to Me Binck. The young man was nominated, passed the East India House, proceeded to India, and the tranuction seemed likely to be shelved amongst others of the same kind which have never been made koown.

Rumours, however, had got abroad. The affair had been talked of. The Directors determined to make an inquiry into the circumstances of the case, mod the result has been this prosecution. So much for the principal actors in the frand. It would of coures, be in the highest degren unjust to mix up Lord and Lady Ripon with any kind of knowledge of the dirtier features of the transaction. Lady Hi- pon wished to obliga a friend or gratify an acquain- lance-wo know not which—and Lord Ripon's not very unnatural desiro was to please his wife. There, as far as they were concerned, was an end of the maller. It is, however, im, omnible to forget the nat very old story of the law appoinunenta in India, and the interchange of patronage between Lord Lynd- hurst and Lord Sipoo, which drew down upon their heads the angry denunciations of the late Lord G. Bentinck some two years since. Then, just as the very nick of time when Lord Ripon had voored the House of Lords with a lecture upon the awful responsibilities" of church patronage, came out the unfortumia alory about Mr Crowther and tho New- Without being nochari. tons and iba donkey cart

It was rumoured lige sometime ago that some of the Chinese Merchants and Shopkeepers have Jeft Macao for Whampoa in which place they are now living and doing business very well, but we did not like to place our belief on the words of the Chinese, as there are many false reporters running about giving and collecting news for what purpon we know out.

Having received this morning the following in formation from some of Whampoa baten we published it to our coaders leaving it to their judge-

ment.

Country Squires under the Stuarts — A country gentleman who witnessed the revolution was pro bably in receipt of about a fourth part of the rent which his neres now yield to his posterity. He was, Merefore, as compared with his posterity, poor man, and was generally under the necessity, af residing, with little interruption, on his estate. To travel on the anatoment, to maintain an esta. bluhment in Lendna, or even to visit Loadou fre- quently, were pleasures in which only the great proprietors could indelen. - It may be confidently sffirined, that of the squires whose names were in King Charles's onmmissious of prace and lieuten- kney, kol ons in twenty went to towa once is fre years, or had pevec in his life wandered so far us Pario.

If he went to school and to college, he generally returned before he was twenty to the seclusion of the old hall, and there, unless his mind were very happily constituted by nature, soon for got his academical pursuits in rural business and pleasure. Ilia chief serious amplnymosi was the care of his property. Els examined sumples of grain, hundleil pigs, and on market days maite bar. Esins over tankard with drovers and hop merchants.

His language and pronunication were such as we should How eapret to hear nuly, fom the most ignorant clowns. His osika, onurse jests, und scurrilous terms of abuse, wero uttered with the broadest no- cent of his provione. It was easy to dieren, from the first worde which he spoke, whether he came from Somersetshire or Yorkabiro. He troubled himself little about decorating his shorte, and, if he attempted decorsnuo, seldom produced any. thing but deformily. The litter of a farm-yard gathered under the windows of his bod chamber, and the cabbages and gooseberry bushes grew cluse to his hall-door His table was louded with coarse plenty; and guests were cordially welcomed to it.

By this means each has two Valen- tines, bot the man sticke fanter to the Valentine that is fallen to him, than the Valentine to whom | he is fallen.

Being desirous of commencing my survey early in the murning, I had made arrangements to sleep at the house of the Sheik of a neighbouring vil Ingo. The Sheik's "best room” lies in some do- grea, a respectable sound; and though I did not exactly expect French wietors and mahogany bed- stends, I was not quite prepared to creep through ? narrow hole into a place which, though it had bosn very ceremoniously cleaned out, had still a most auspicious appearance, and the atmosphere of which was so villous that I was glad to escape into the open air. So I slept in the farm fard. with the Sheik and his family, including one camel, three donkeys, and a doten sheep, all of which, excepting the last, conducted themselves with exemplary propriety.

THE PETTY BESSIONS,

Tan Grand Jury of Bingapore approve of the Hongkong Coort of Polly Sessions, and suggest

the introduction of a similar institution at Sin- gapore. On this point the Recorder is a ise with the Jury. We know not of what material the beach of Magistrates is composed of at Singapore; but sure we are (and wo my this in perfect truth and with all sincerity) that in Hongkong, from the Chief Magistrate downwards, it is dangerous and unfair to be. stow upon the Justices summary jurisdiction in criminal cases. Were there not other, and more substantial objections—the mere airoun- stance of not one of them having a legal edu- cation is in itself enough to satisfy any person not wedded to crotchets that an unpardonable innovation has been made on the established We have already stated our convic courts tion that the Petty Sessions in a more deception, intended to draw public attention from the | demnatory fact, that the inferior courts of jus tice in Hongkong are under the thumb of the 134100 — Executive. When a sense of justice- a regard for public opinion—or a decent and becoming respect for English constitutional law, inducea the Government to establish the loferior courts as they are established elsewhere in British co- lonies, then we may see cruse to alter our

contemptible reforms (so called) which are the curse of the age, none are so perfectly ridi- culous as the meddling of Colonial Governors with the courts of law. If these Gentlemen will not be satisfied with the laws of their country. the sooner they retire to a more congenial at- mosphere--Russia or Bengal-the betten, for themselves and the colonista.

It ware desirable that the contituent maissial of the banch and the Jurisdiction of the members be clearly understood, from the formidable list of names, en opinion partially prevails that the inferior courts are legally and constitutional ly organized. This is not the case. The police court is entirely under the control of the Executive; the court of Petty Sesstona is an illegal encroach meat upon the Supreme Court, and we question the prudence of the Justices in sitting in that court at all, -however, waiving this point, there is not a single case brought before the now official Justices that has ant first been heard by the Chief or the Assistant Magistrate, and these Gentlemen will use their own discretion in remitting to the Petty Sessions or not. Cases which involve inconvenient enquiries may be disposed of without troubling the Justices. The system is bad. The great recommendation of the English inferior courts is an open and impartial enquiry be fore upright Magistrates acting with perfect Inda pence and without respect of persons. It le true that with the Justices a paid Magistrain usually sit on the bench Butthe English qualification of the paid Magistrate is five years standing in Barrister On points of law he is thus an authority, and his position, readers him lndependent of side influences Notwithstanding the parade of Justicos, the Police count in Hongkong is cosumtially a government

The piston rod is loaded with weights, equal to any sumber of pounds pressure per inch which may be required, and which are to be a counterpoise to the damper, to which the rod is connected by a chale and pullien. A les of weights are slid freely on the piston rod in the with the bottom upwards, each supported by curved conical frame, sucroseling progressively in sigs from stays, projecting from the inside of the frame, by which they are kept about 9 inches apart from each other, and prevented pressing against the piston rod.

Perhaps some of our worthy readers will sympathize with ibeso sufferers ; but we are not ashamod to confess that in our opinion they received the treatment their own imprudence or folly merited, though the Frenchman's ride of 1,000 miles in a las despotic cost would have been compromised with a day' imprisonment.. A mun's religion is an apolo- gy for rudeness; and the most ardent admirer of liberty is bound to respect the laws of the land he lives in. The prohibition of smoking in the streets of Paris would probably lawi te a revolution; but in Russia the Parising o of freedom must conform to Russian lawa and customs. Our own experience supplies a lit the information on the legality of smoking in the public streets; and as their is nothing of importance on the editorial anvil, we may be excused in relating a caso in point.

In the autumn of 1839, the witer of thin fa- ragraph arrived in the city of Boston in corp- pany with an American friend-a genuine New Yorker. Our companion intended to see

High church men still thank God for the restoration of the royal and infamous Charles (who died a Roman Ca tholic after ally and swathematize the church to which all their forelathers belonged; and if they derive comfort from this exhibition of pious foaling much good may it do them. For our own part, we recognise neither popery nor prelacy and are quite prepared to respect both es long as they do not encroach upon the religion of others. Our earliest recollections are associated with scenes where prulacy once desolated the land; where the Dragoons of Claverhouse and of Dalziel sabred or pistolled the defenceless peasant before his wife and family merely be cause he worshipped after the worship of his fathers and refused to apostatize to the blood stained church of England. Happily those days of Church soil State tyranny are past 3 but when we hear the fiery zealot of England denouncing and consigning to en- ternal torments his brother priest of Roine,— eagerly reciting the oppressions with which po- pery is chargeable,-the battle field of Bothwell rives before our imagination, not as it now exists covered with corn fields and orchards, No, —the trained guards of the head of the English church are slaughtering the undisciplined pea- pantry who have taken up armas for conscience aake for the dearest of all privileges, religious liberty. We have lived to know something of the Episcopal church and to respect it; but in Scotland-especially in Clydesdale--there are thousands who only koown at it is a tyrannical church, stained with the blood of Martyrs,

whose tombs with their homely inscriptions are still to be seen in the country Church-yarris.

But we are getting discursive-wandering from trifling questions of propriety. or politeness, to the all important one of religious liberty. To return to our extracts. The first victim of conventionalisms, decency, order, or whatever

The arrival of the now Congous has engaged tion for the fam fortnight. About 25 in 30 chop are already to band, and musters of 18 to 20 more have been going the round of the mar ket; judging from then the quality of the crop to file if at all superior to that of last year, al- though it is said that much finer T? kro the way down. The Teamen bare as usual, some- what moderated the extravagant vates us frst lev manded, still we have not baard of a single souls. ment; and it is but ransomable to expect that the ex- perience of previous seasons, coupled with the un- satisfcnty scenuate lately received of the English market, will induce purchasers to act with somo degree of caution,

The manufacture of Scented Orange Pokoss and Scented Capers has been on rather an extensivo cala, and during the early part of the month those Test were taken pretty freely at current rates; Interly, however, owing to the heavy shipments, the demand hse auboidal and prices bare materially recoded, though without having the effect of inducing further porchates to any extent.

Green Teas are neglected; the market is nearly swept of all but very useless Tea,

Only one vessel has been despatched since our last The 'ormantel for London, and as there appears no probability of any furiber departures during the persent month, the Exports for the season. 1848- 1949 may fairly ha avid to have closed,

Our statement will be found to exhibit a deficien- cy of about million on the Exports · f last year; 6 million on that of 1846-7; nad 10 millions on that of 1845 6

The quantity of Green Tea, though somewhat. ancers, is not equal to a evelya month's consumption for Great Britain; that of Blick, falls 4 to 5 mil lions short of last year's deliveries.

Tan is the anniversary of the independence of the United States of America. A day in which the Citizens rejoice exceedingly, day on which poor John Bull in flagellated moit unmercifully through the length and breadth of the republic; flogged (tongued) for alleged Tyranny and oppression" in rearing his preco cious brats--but as this is done by proxy, barett John known nothing at all about it, and is even ignorant (easy going Soul) that the 4th of July is remarkable for any particular ereal. For our own part, we also heartily re- joice in the separation, and will drain a glan of Claret (at an Enghman's table 100) the continued proapority of the United 8:stes. and this with the greatest good will. Eng. land has colonies enough-some she could well spare ; is a commercial light, America is more valuable as an independant power than she every would have been as a colony or group of colonies, financially, we are relieved of the expence of her military and naval esta blishments, and politically, we are stronger without a distant territory, of questionable loyalty, which we must have defended from foreign apgressions "The States" don't treat John Bull the respect he is entitled to, and have but little affection for the okl Gen- tlemen, but for all that, John is prood of his progeny, oo other power can boast of much sturdy loon; and though a faithful British sub- to the United ject, we wish "every success"

Occasionally, they foigo a Budden retreat ; and when they perceive that their purowers are comparatively small in number, they rapidly face about, and become the emailents: this, however, can only happen with an inexpe- rienced body of troops, totally detached, and who are unacquainted with their advarensles' wily mode of warfare.

VICTORIA, BATURDAY, JULY 1969, (519,

The Petty Sessions ordinance has been up- proved of. Our objections to the net were mainly on the ground that it was deceptivo,-- that Her Majesty's govern nont was in duced to bolievo that before establishing a court of Petty Besions wa hadh, as a matter of cause, a regular English constitutional and legal court of Police, which we have not, and which this government has neither the cour- age nor the liberality to give us. Although a draft of the ordinance was published, it was hurriedly passed, before the public had an op- portunity of expressing an opinion, and it las

been canctioned by the bona guvernment in ignorance of the dreeption. Bowover, it is now a law, and those who object to its taking precedence of the nuore primitive Police court do not howl and whine over the in quity. An English police court, and a legally qualified Magistrate, we will have sonner or later, apl with that es datory reflection we dismiss the subject for a lime,

The lawfulness of spoiling the idulster is named in the patent granted by Henry VII of England to the celebrated John Cabot (Giovanni Garotlo) ant his sons, who are thereby empowed "trek oul and discover all islands, regions, sad provinces whatsoever that may belong to besikens and in- fidels," and "to subdue, occupy, and poseres these countries no bir vassale and lieutenants." Sir Hum phrey Gilbert was authorised by Queen Elizabeth to discover such remote heathen and barbarous lands, countries, and torritaries not actually pos sessed of a Christian prince or people, and to hold. occupy, and enjoy the same, with all their commo dities, jurisdictions, and royalties.”—Polson's P'rin- ciples of the Law of nations,

Spanish Legend. --Don Joseph de Valdivielso, one of the chaplains of the guy Cardinal Infant Ferdinand of Austria, cites u must remarkable in- stance of celestial interference on behalf of sa ar- | July, tist in trouble. A certain young frier, he says. | was famous songst his order for his skill so a painter and look pecular delight in drawing the Breed Virgin and the Devil. To heighten the divine beauty of the one, and to devis new and extravagant forms of lovelines for the other, were the chief trerentious of his leisure, Vozed at Inst by the variety and vigour of his sketches, Belzclub, to be revenged, assumed the form of a Invely maiden, and, so disguised, crossed the path of the religious, who-being of an amorous complexion— fell at once into the trap. The seaming daturel sailed on her shaven woner, but though willing to be won, would unt survenfer her charma ni' a Ters price in certain rice reliquaries and jewels in the convent-treasury—a pries which the triar, in evil hour, engrented to pay 11o admitted her at midnight within the convent walls, and lending her to the sacristy, took from its antique rabicula the precious things for which she had asked. Then canis the moment of vengeance. Possing in their return through ide moonlit cloister-as the sinful frise stole along, embencing the booty with one arm und bis fabie Duesss with the other, the demon. Jedy...” more like a woman than a demon,” as the chaplain slyly remarks—suddenly cried out Thiers!" with diabolical energy. The snoring monks rushed dianrdered, each from his cell, and detected their unlocky brother in the act of mak- log off with their plato. Excum being impossible, they tied the culprit to a colamo, and leaving him till matins, when his punishment was to be deter- mined, went back to their pillows or their prayers, ? U The Devil, uneren during the confusion, re ap ponrad when all was quiet, but this time In lie most hideous shape. Half dead with cold and car ror, the discomfitted coricaturist stood shivering at his piller, while his tormentor made onmercifully overry with him! twitting him with his amorous ; overture, mocking his stammered prayers, and in- reverently suggesting an appeal for aid in the beau ty beloved to to deli seato.” Tha penitent wretch at last took the advice thus forringly given--when lol the Mother of Mercy, radiant in heavenly love linees descended, loosed his corde, and bade him bind the Evil One to the column in bis place—an order which, through har strength, he obeyed with not less alacrity thao astonishment She further ordered him to appear amongst the other wonka at matins, and charged herself with the task of 10 storing the stolen plata to its pluca. The tables were thus suddenly turned. The friur presented himself amongst his brethren to their no ?mall sur- prise, and voted with much contrition for his own condemuation-a sentence which was, however, Jeremed, ou the sacristy being examined and its contents miraculously found correct. As for the Devil, who remained fast bound to the pillar, be was soundly Bogged, nad on fell into the pil he had digged for another. His dupe, on the ?aifer hand, gathered new strength from bla fall, and bes came not only a wiser and a better man, but like wise na obler uitlat; for the experience of that terrible night had supplied all that was wanting to abe ideal of his favourite subjects. Thenceforth he followed no more after enticing demsels, but remained like a respectable monk in bia cloister, painting the Madonna more curiouely appalling than ever.-Annals of Ar? ?n Spain.

An Arab Tribs on the March-We had now reached the pasture gromade of the Skammer, and Shiekh Khalaf declared that Sofak'e tenta could not be far distant. A few days before they had been pitched almost noongst the ruins of Al Husher; But he had since left them, and it was not known where be had encamped. We started early in the morning, and took the directien pointed out by Khalaf. Our view was banded to the east by a rising ground. When we reached ita summit, we looked down opon a plain, which appeared to awarm with moving objects. We had come opon the main body of the Shammar. It would be dif. ficult to describe the appesence of a large tribe. like that so now wet, when migrating to new pas Lores. The scene caused in me feelings of melan choly, for it recalled many hours, perhaps unpro. fitably, though certainly happily openly and many friends, some who now sighed in osptivity for the | joyous freedom which those wandering burdes en- joyed; others who had pariabed in its defence. We soon found ourselves in the midst of wide- spreading flocks of sheep and canela. As far as the eye could reach, to the right, to the left, and and in front, still the nonse moving crowd. Lang liuss of sasee and bullocko laden with black tents, huge cauldrons and variegated carpets; aged wai men nud aiam, no longer able to walk, lied on the henp of domestic furniture; infauts crammed into saddle bugs, their tiny heade thrust through the narrow opening, halanerd on the animal's back by kile or lambe tied on the opposite side: young girls clothed only in the close fitting-Arab shirt, which diaplayed rather than cononuled their grace- full formas; mothers with th?z?r children on their | aboulders; boys driving docks of lamba; horse- | men armed with their long ti-fed spenne, scouring

Thoroughly to understand the views on colonial salaries propounded by Lord Grey before the Com. mitten on the miscellaneous animates it is necessary to bear much facta in mind. The minister for the colosire threw out a proposition, that the colonies should take apon themselves certain expenses, and that the salaries of the Governors aliould be paid by this country,

My reason for the opinion," he said, "this, that in order to have efficient persona in the aitun. tion of Clovernors, it is necessary that their als ries should bear some considerable proportion so what men of eminence in other careers obtain in this country.

If salaries sufficient le secure such services are given to the Governors, and are paid by the colonists to the colonies, they are compared with the incomes of persona there: the general scale of income which people anjay lo the coloules is notoriously vaty much less than in this country; and the consequence it, that igade. quate salaries are given to the ?rornora "

Tan worldly minded Missionary too often bringadis credit upon a cause the purest and noblest which can engago the attention and call forth the energies of man. To judge of the mass by the exceptions would be unfair. When we look around us we observe certain arcuter uninded men who still eling to the mummon of the world though nominally they have devoted themselves to missionary labour,-men, mostly of low extraction, deficient in education and imperfetly acquainted with tboology,-to them missionary appointment is performent la pecunis ry view, and literally they put on the Priest's robe to win a bit of bread. But we would err grievously were we to asume that this description apple to all or to the majority of the Christian missionsin Chine.

cial When young men in the heyday of life formke secular pursuits which promise to be rewarded with success, and with unfaltering courage ustume the bumble rank of a missionary, the most indifferent and carus observer will admit that the spirit of religion is

within them.

China, it is true, is but sterile field. and heretoforo but few converts have rewarded the labour of the Christian missionary. The zeal which cheers and encourage the genuine evangelist forbides him to despair; but others, who scan the sceno with mare worldly eye, behold but a clouded horizon, *****p/kaarch, which," ames?lio'g fast | people are enveloped. To them it appears as if the means of doing good are misapplied; that energy misdirected or inefficacious in this quarter would be rewarded by an ample return ekawhere.

The teak of conversion among a prinitive and uneducated people is more eaty than among a highly artificial race, whose religious political and social duties are so interwoven that they can hardly be separated When Saint Paul told the polished and Intellectual Atheniana ("who spent their time in nothing else, but either to sell or to hear some thing new") of the resurrection of the dead, "some mocked; and others mid, wo will hear then again of this matter." But

the rude and uneducated Jailer at Philippe fell down at the Apostle's foe, crying what must I do to be Javed?

The contributions in furtherance of this scheme amounted to about 90,000 The medical library of Dr Colledge was purchased and presented to the society by Mr William Jardio books and instruments were also presented by other liberal foreign residents.

to their Clods, and sensuality is not deified. Liceo cious they may be in practice; but their mythology is pure, and not chargeable with the national sensuality, *No Venus or Lakshmi occurs in the list of Chi- nese goddemes; no weeping for Thaumay, no ax- posure in the temple of Mylida, or obscens rites of Durga-puja, have ever been required or annclisand by Chinese priests; nor are nach girls as in Indian temples, or couricians as in Corinth, kept in their sacred buildings." In preaching to the Athesians, the wicked absurdities of their mythology was a pow. erful lever in the hands of Saint l'al, but even be could not upset the temples baik to unknown Gods. Refined and intellectual as they claimed to be, they were not shocked at the revoking and diaguating amour ascribed to their deities. The religion of the Chinese in purity itself no compared with that of the ancients, and when we consider that the gifted Paul preached with but indifferent succes to the worshippers of corrupt deities can we wunder that modera missionaries labour in vain among the dis ciples of the great Chino moralist?

After the expulsion of foreigners from Canten, in 1840, the hospital was removed to Atacao, and sub- sequently to Hongkong where buildings were ereol. ed at an expense of 63,030.

We could perorive that, under the circumstances here described, and in other cases subsequently witnessed, this departure from the pre- vailing custom was not considered as in any degres irregular or improper. The very trifling means of the women were soon exhausted, while the plewauro of drinking bad but just risen to its highest pitch. My promise, therefore, to pay the sent for the rest of their indulgence was received with the greatest thankfulness. But they now took especial paina to show themselves deserving of the Europeana rest, by good Christian observance; for at every glam they took they came up to us, and before they trated the drum, crossed themselves with a most singular and laughable gravity. Devout Hussines are in the habit of neutralizing the Satanie opecution of spiri. tuous liquors by a rapid movement of the right hand, intruded to describe the cross, or by n softly ejscu. inted prayer, or merely by blowing the breath on the glass. But the good humoured ?stynks, who were novices in both arts, of Christian prayer as well as of drinking, were desirous of providing against the infirmities of the flesh by some more ample religious ceremony; and so they made the sign of the crose to such an extent, so slowly and with suck Jeep Iwowing of the body, as would be required by the church only on the most soletan ocentiua -Ermen's Travels in Siberia,

William Kisin and James II —“Great na was the authority of Bunyan with the Baptists, that of William Koffin was still greater. Kifo was the first nis among them in wealth and station. He was in the habit of exercising his spiritual gifts at their ratings; but he did not live by prosohing. He traded largely; his credit on the Exchange of Lon. don stond bigh; and be bad accumulated an am. ple fortune. Perhaps ne man could, at that en juncture, have rendere more valuable services to the court. But between him and the court was interposed the remembrance of ane terrible event. He was the grandfather of the two Howlings, thinse gallant youths who, of all the victims of the Blondy Assizes, had been the minst generally lamente, For the ad fate of one of them, James was in a pe culiar manner responsible. Jeffreys had respited

the younger brother. The poor Ind's sister had been ushered by Churchhill into the royal presenca, and had begged for mercy; but the king's heart had been obdurate. The misory of the whole fami- ly had been great; but Kiffin was most to be pi- tit. He seventy years old when he was left dessitata, the survivor of those who should hate survived him. The lirattient and venal sycophante of Whitehall, judging by themselves, thought that the old man would be emsily propitiated by an al derman's gown, and by some compensation in mo nry for the property which his genudamus had for. frited. Pena was employed in the work of reduc- tian, but in ma purpose. The king determined to try what effect his own civilities would produco. Kiffin was ordered to sitend at the palace. He found a brilliant circle of noblemen and gentle men assembled. Jamen immediately come to him spoke to him very graciously, and concluded by saying, I have put you down, Mr Kiffin, for an Alderman of London' The old men lonked fix- edly at the king, burst into tears, and made an- awer, Sir, I am worn out; I am unft to setTe your Majesty or the City. And, sir, the death of my poor boys broke my heart. That wound is an freeh ny ever. I shall carry it to my grave

The

king stond silent for a minute in some confusion, and then said, ? Mr Kiffin, I will find a bolsam for that sore. Assuredly Inmas did not mean to say anything cruel or insolent: on the contrary, he seems to have been in an unusually gentle mood. Yet no speech that is recorded of him girea so unfavourable a notion of bis churncter no these few words. They are the words of a hard hearted and low minded man, unable to conceive any laceration of the affertions for which a place or a pansion would not be a full compensation,”—Macaulay's History of England.

BRITISH CONSULATE, Pro-chon-foo, July 30th, 1849. BIx-The Mia District Magistrate has just called upon me, the desire of the Governor-General, to request that notice may be given to all Foreign vesel of the scarcity of rice in the Provinces of Chokeang and Kanngseo, where the crape have recently been destroyed by inundation, and that in consequence there, the authorities of Ningpo have been directed to purchase any cargoes of the grain that may be covered to that part in Foreign ships.

The Magistrate informed me that a circular des patch had been already addressed to you on the sub- Jact, adding that the authorities would be obliged by my also communicating with you thereupon.

I now therefors do so in compliance with their request, feeding assured you will do all in your pose to relieve so pressing a necessity, by giving the re- quired noties circulation in your part.--I live, &c.,

Amoy, August 6th, 1849. Her kisjesty's Conmal circulates for general infor mation the translation of a copy of a letter, which be has received from His Excellency the Troutan of Amay.

With regard to the latter part of this letter he does not desire to express a premature opinion as to the legality or illegality of the exportation of native rice from ode Provines of China to soother. He trusts that the question may not be raised in any more for. mal manner than that in which it is expressed in His Excellency's present letter, and, as the policy of exporting Formous rica from Amorin British ships beyond the limite of this Pripinesvilently open to grare and serions objectides, he trusts that kay not be forced upon the Chinese local authorities by any hasly or extensive expectation of native grain.

The Conval is not prepared, either to maintain the legality, or defend the policy of any extensive ship- tuents of Amuy or Furmo-aries at the present mo- ment, and he would respectfully recommend that even the exportation of Foreign ries from Manila, Jara, Singaporn, or Arracan, be conducted in consistency with the usual and ordinary course of mercantile bas new, and in a manor the least able to mine sy objections on the part of the Mandarina, or to influence the foaling of a jealous, poor, and excitable population,

Unter these circumstances, we can come to no other conclusion than that both the Assistant Pas lice Magistrate, and the Superintendent of Police, gonds forcibly and surreptitiously abutracted at 11 soted illegally in refusing nuisance to recover the 'eck at oight; and that the Assistant Magistrale betrayed a partility in ble office, addeil to a dere when he declared file opinion that Mr Dieter was iction of duty, incompatible with the public fey, quite justified ia all he had done, mid this option has since been promulgated by the Chief Magi trata; and we do think that we have a right to complain to His Excellency when we find the Ex.

Your felter contains, na His Excellency under stands, three separate charges,—the first against Mr Carter, the second against Mfr Holdforth, wad the third against the Police generally.

In reply to the first, I sin directed to observe, that Mr Carter has been awamoned before the Petty Court, and the charge against him of feloni. Busly stealing and taking away the property of one Manuel Vicente Alarques lama Geen dismissed. This is the only part of the question in which His Excellency could pomalbly; bava interfered. If it be maintained that the removal of the goods by Mr Carter from the premises of Mr Marques was illegal, the latter has his redress by a recourse to the Supreme Court.

As regards your second ground of complaint, against Mr Holdforth, viz: "He the All-tant Police Magistrate declared that Mr Carter, in all COLONIAL SHORntart's Office, he had done, was quite justified,” His Excellency Victoria, Elangkong, Tih August 1819. observes, that what Mr Holdforth may have sid B1k,-f om directed to acknowledge the re- on this subject matters but lindo.

This act in of so atrocious a nature, and a0- companied by such extraordinary circumstances, that it cannot be viewed us the simple attempt of assasins, but has, on the contrary, all the choneteristics, as it in evident, of an act pre- meditatedly and deliberately planned, since Your Excellency cannot be unaivire of the advertise- ments and notices which were some time before published at Canton, and which, there are good grounds to believe, if they have not originated with the Chinese authorition, they have at least been approved and sanctioned by them!

Captale Troubridge will remalo at Macao for the rent, and 2 trust the arrival of H. 31.'s rootsie at abla junerare will be sumclent to shew the Chinese authorities that the Britiab Goverment fully opto- patbles with that of Har Mout Faithful Majesty on this distressing sectalon, and that the Chinese will, If avilly disposed, be induced, in consequebre, o

In the meantime, this Council warn Your Ex. cellency that the necessary demand which they now make in order to give honourable burial to the body of the Highest Authority and Representative of Her Most Faithful Majesty in Macao, and cannot in My way prejudios the right of Her Most Faithfal Majesty, to whom a great outraga' has been offer- d; and in behalf of said right this Council agala protest to Your Bxcellency against such an not of trachery and barbarity, which has not only of fended the rights of nations, but particularly the Bevereignty of Her Most Faithful Majesty, and which cannot be passed over by this Council.

This Council likewise warn Your Excellency that they will convey the intelligence of this kancotable event to the knowledge of the Minis- ters of Spain, France, and the United States, also to the Governor of Hongkong, who are all the Allies of Her Most Faithful Majesty, and that to ach of them a copy of this Protest will be for- warded.--Macao, 23rd August, 1849.

(From the Overland Friend of China, August 99.) SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT.

{Augus, 1849.) Ova market report it only brought down to the En instant, but from a letter dated the 18th we a?. tract some information regarding the lots of the rica crop by loundation, which will be interesting to merchants and others trading with Shanghai, During the current month about 8,000 tons of rice was imported in foreign vessels, and other cargoes arrive almost daily The crop however is des troyed in a wide expanse of forritory, and the sup. ply from other quarters is but a drop in the ocean. At Nankin the literary examinations have been postponed by an edlet from the oversor-General, The College Hells being still flooded with water. It has been announced at Shan;chai shat on the 22nd of August the Mag'urues will commence issuing relief to the pamper portion of the population. Bix copper cash for each adult and three cash for ench minor is the amouet to be paid. Cash are at pre- peat valued at 1,300 to the dollar; isking the dul lar at four shilling and pence, it follows that a full grown person te doposed to exist upon the fifth part of a penny sterling. Rice in worth from 30 to 40 cash per pound the six cash purchasing less thap quarter of a pound weight, and on this kin probable that many thousands will orag out a mi- serable axistence. The cotton crop bas also been much injured, adding to the general distrare and pauperism to the agricultural districts. The la undations have broken up for a time the regu- lar lines of communication with the interior. Aa accumulation of calamities has had an injurious io. fluence on trade, and will partially if not entirely account for the unfavourable circaatile savion by this mall.

The letter caused scena sansation ? and an opinion that all the foreign merchants ware to be removed to Canton prevailed among the Chinos at Shanghai. So much so that for- eigners were asked whether the removal was to take place in the 7th or the 9th month of the year, upon this point there being some dif- turence of opinion. That the removal was de- termined upon thera was no doubt whatever. Such an erroneous impression was confirmed by the honours conferred upon officials and citizens who were conspicuous in resisting the fulfilment of a solemn treaty. The Canton men in Shanghai boasted of the victory obtain ed, and the insolent letter froin the Guntry to the British Plenipotentiary was publicly exhi? bited in the streets.

The ship Sylph sailed from this port for Blinga. pore and Calcutta on the 11th July.

The fleet of boats seen off Hainan by the Dico in no doubt the fleet that plunder- od the large Junk from Singapore which lately arrived here under command of Captain Nay- Jor. After leaving Hongkong the Sylph went to Macas to oubark treasure, and it is possible that she may have had an unusually long pas sage to the southward; we observe, however, that the Dido arrived at Singapore on the 14th, and it is extremely improbable that she beat the Sylph five days on the passage-that in allowing one day for an earlier start and an-

That the outrage was not the act of mere arantains and blyhway robbers, is evident from the head nad hand of the illustrious docenard being car ried away, which Your Excellency, perhaps unin tertionally, acknowledges in Your Despatch, and since it is certe n that the mosassine fearlessly canted with them the proofs of their crime, is it not natural to conclude that they were assured of protection and afely when they committed a This presumption is not only wall founded, bat daily receives constma tion by the delay and segligence with which the Chinese authorities have acted in this a?air, mal, wihanding its being of so grave and serlede na ture.

From what has been stated.

By a series of legislativo enactments-com- mencing with the emancipation of the blacks and ending with a repeal of the corn laws and a reduction of the differential duty upon timber- the British colonial empire has been brought upon the verge of ruin.

Fol. lowing close upon emancipation, with a rare inconsistency, the samo parliament, at the voice of a section of the community, reduced the dif- ferential duties on sugar, forcing the British cu- Jonial free labour planter to enter into compe. tition with the slave grown sugar of the Brasils, The policy exhibited in our treatment of tha North American colonies is scarcely len objec tionable.

But this act of justice is withheld.

In our own neighbourhood, within the lust dozen of years, we have seen a large amount of British capital invested in Ceylon. Coffee planting was entered into with all the charac. terristic energy of our race. Labourers were brought annually from the neighbouring con- tinent, returning when the harvest was gather- ed to enjoy the fruit of their industry with their families. But no sooner was the planter rewarded for his enterprise and past privations by a profitable return, than his well laid schemes of advancement were prostrated by the spirit of pace trade. The reze labour plantor was driving aleve grown coffee from the English market, and at the clamour of the manufactur-ral of the West India legislatures have refused ing interest, the duty in favour of colonial to vote the usual amount for the civil establish- coffee was greatly reduced, in order that the ment, and have thus assumed a hostile position to the inother country, or rather to the colonial slave owners of the Brazils might be induced to take a few more bales of our printed calicsor.

In prosperous times the colonies did not complain of the expensiva establishinents thrud upon them by tho moiber country. They cheerfully supported civil establishments threej times to expensive than were required by any of the thirteen American provinces bo- fore they rebelled. The colonies became vast fickt of patronage; and, without regard to qualification, oach alternate administration strengthened its party by the partial bestowal of colonial appointments. This in itself might well have raised an outery, but it was borno patiently so long the means were available in somo instances tho local legidatures in- creased the salaries of the officials, in orde that they should participate in the gonoral pros perity.

The wooden houses are an exception; they will leave a large profit, and as the senson advances and pro- plo return from the "diggings" they will be in greater request.

About 23,000 Bates of all kinds have bems sold this month.

The arrivals of Cotton Yara have been consider able, and adding to the heavy stocks previously pressing on the market have prevented any great, advance in the price. Elad stocks been at all mo- derate, the incremood value of the Raw article would have immediately been followed by a correspond ing advance in Yern. As, it is, prices have mestly become firin and current, where a month ago they were mostly nominal. Present rales leave the shipper a serious lose on late Manchester prices; the sales this month are fully 900 balos. Grey cotton Long Cloths bad fallen to a very low price especially for light goods; but attention hvring been attracted to them by speculators, au ndrance of 5 to 7 cents took place and has been maintained on 56 to 04 reed goods; while finer sets, say 60 to 7:2, have receded in value; the best 72 read of 94 catties will not fetch more than 21 dollars, each price Duty paid; though many bolders are firm in their refusal to accept auch low prices.

Voseule, however, continued to load and since the arrival of the Overland Mail bayers have shewn more disposition to net-the purchases have boun beary, supocially in Congous, ul which description about 40 chops have been set- tled within the last can duya—at prises (considering the difference in quality) very links if at all under thom of last month—the remaining storka consist principally of Ohows and Kyshows of fair average quality ; the market having long since been clear- ? ed of tha better qualities,

About 15,000 pieces have sold this mouth. The distressing accounts of the great misery existing in the nomb of Chine, tend to create an uneasy feeling in the minds of importers of Long Cloth here. Lately, Shangbai has been the great market for these goods, and heavy shipments have often been made to the Port from hence to relieve this market. It in feared that this year the reverse may be the case, and that Canton may be gluted with goods from thence, in which case low rates se sure to rule here till abipments from England ato curtailed and newly suspended. Already, prices are down there to 2.05 for 60 reed Grey's duty paid, while heavy arrivals are close on their shore, and poverty and starvation daily increasing from the lose of the Co too and Rice crops.

Ox Monday a report was brought from Macao that a pirate force meditated an attack on the

A large body of mon belonging to II. M. 9.

[The Junks in question ware taken posses- sion of and carried to Macao by the U. 8. S. Plymouth. They offered no resistance; some of the Cunningmoon Captains assert that they are decent traders, others tell a different tale. Dark suspicions attach to the trade carried on at that anchorage-smuggling may ont prove to be its worst feature

The Canton steiner came into harbour on Sunday, having left the Columbine that forenoon and from intelligence received by her, U. M. Steamer Fury was immediately despatched to join the Columbine. The east coast in covered with pirates, we hear that at every village, boats come off with complaints. The Canton steamer reports the destruction of one large Junk, but at a sad loss of life,-four of the lumbine's man being killed and six dangerously wounded. There are various statements cur- rent, differing slightly in detail. In the mean- time, we have copied that in the Register

At an early hour in the morning, the members of the Macao gov ernment, the representatives of foreign powers accredited to China (resident in Macao) and Jarge portion of the inhabitants were on the ground. After waiting for one hours at the Barrier, and hearing nothing from the Cars Branca, the party returned to Macan.

The Fury joined the Columbine in Harlem bay on the evauing of the 30th. Next or ing (having received information that the pi. rates were in a anug harbour at the band of die bay) the Fury took the Cohambin in tow and proceeded in search. They found the squadron moored in line in very shoal wa tor; they were ovilently prepared for an attack, flags flying at the mast beada, and the crows drawed for the occasion, The Column- bine could not enter the lagoon from her heavy draught, but as soon as the Fury rounded the point of the harbour the pirates opened fire, several of the shot striking her bull. The steam- er took up a favourable position; the bulworks were thrown down to enable the gunners to bave a clear view; they then commenced

throwing shell after shell with beautiful proci. sion. Theso missiles burst amongst the pirates knocking down from six to a dozen men at each | discharge.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.

In pril, 1848, information arrived of the bank-

A ples of accord and satisfaction was entered by the Defendants, they baving paid to the Plaintiff the sum of ?569.50 at the time of their bankrupt- cy, in full of all claims against the firm, and it was therefore contended that Plaintiff having received this mount had no further claim on the Defen dants, and it was also alleged that the firm by which the Plaintiff had been engaged never had resumed operations, but that ona of the members of that drin had patablished himself again in con- junction with others, under the style of George Hargreaves & Co., (instead of Platt, Hargreaves & Co.) and that as to Plaintiff's Claim for payment | of wages, board, ludging and medical attendance, for the remainder of the agreement, the Plaintiff had gone to California, and was not in a position to full his part of the Agreement, however wil-

During the time the Yachts were sailing a race came off between the Jock of Harblean pulling 2 pair of sculls and the King's Con pul- Jing randan; the betting was all in favour of the latter which won by 3 or 4 bait lengths; the sculling in the Jock was however inuch ad- mired; the Wherrios pulled the distance in 15.8" The other two races, owing to some gentlemen having been disqualified by winning on the previous day, did not come off, and the sports ended with a very good run between house boats, of which 4 started for a rooo which was kept up with wonderful spirit and codur-

leged the Plaintiff had suffered for a period of vix weeks in Hoang-but nothing of material importance was elicited.

The Jury having retired for a few minutes brought in a verdict for Plaintif Jamegee #2,712.30 being a reduction of $1,915.00 on the amount sued for by the Plaintiff.

The next case was that of Luong-aman aND OTHERI V. Gro. Luzalet.

Attorney-General for Plaintiff, who sued in forma pauperis.

Me. W. D'B. Parker for Defendant.

Mr. Gaskell, Attorney for Plaintiff, complained to the Court, that Mr. Consul Bowring refused to execute the process of the Court, which had been seat to him for summoning witnesses in this case. His Honor the Chief Justice directed the Hagistrar to write to the Consul on the subject.

The Attorney-General shortly stated that this $1,418, being for work and labour done accord- was an action brought to recover the sum of

ing to an agreement made.

The day succeeding the typhoon of August and September 1848, the Plaintiffs alleged that the Defendant (Lungley, master of the receiving-ves- vol. Lady Hayes,) engaged them to dive for, and recover, certain chests of opium, and other articles, which had gone down with the barque Isabella Robertson in the Cumsingmoon.-With the as sistance of twenty-one others they succeeded in getting up 53 chests of opium, ? guns, a gold watch, and sundry cases of crockery, wine, beer, A., the total value of which on sale was

16,400,--On this sum the Defendant had ob- mined 20 per cent salvage, and they now sought to recover 8 per cent on the value, and #2 for each chest of opium, according to the Agreement which it was alleged they had made with the Do- fendant,

The Attomey-General stated, that, owing to the severe service performed, several of the party en- gaged in diving had afterwards died. The Plain Giff's had made repeated applications to the Defen. dant, but without success. They had then peti- tioned His Excellency the Superintendent of Trade on the subject, who had very properly referred them to this 'Tribunal for redress.

The sixth witness Leang-ayce stated, that he was a shopkeeper at Cumingon. In September 1848, after tho Typhoon, Defendant a-ked get divers to rocurer property from the sun vessel.-procured four men. E-un or Eu-z Ky.mun. Eug-chaong, and Le-chong-kum. D fendant paid the divern, for the service which ther performed, in his presence.

The divers ho engaged are now in their ow country (P) about 23 lu from Casing-

On being cross-questioned mid that Defendant did not pay the divers, that ho paid them, but could not say how much.

Seventh wituces, Domingo Marques, clerk to Defendant stated that he was aware that Defeat paid to last witness, Leang-syen, upwards of 5,000 for diving expenses and salvage—and that he does not now owe any money on this accost, -recognizes accounts exhibited to him of moneys paid to Achuck and Ayee.-7be names of the divers employed were Atang, Achock, and Aying. Eighth witoms, Wong-aing-kum, stated that he was shroff to Defendant;-kaows Ayee (sixth witness) paid money to him for diving,does nut know how much, there were three man employed besides Ayre to get up the goods from the sunken Tessel-Achok, Ayung, and Atung-did not know that others were engaged,—the four men named were not divers themselves, but engaged others to dive, they were contractors only. The men were at work for about forty days.

This closed the evidence for the defeuce. The Attorney-Cleaeral then pointed out to the Court that the evidence on the part of the defence amounted to nothing more than that the Defendant had made two contracts. The accounts produc ed would show the true state of the case (these accounts showed that altogether 2771 cheats of opium had been fishod up, and an account with Ayce showed that he had been paid salvage on 222} thereof-there was also an account beaded "Dr. Achuck, Diver in Account-Contra Cr. for get. ting up 55 chests-with Chinese writing spend. ed), but the learned gentleman, went on to say. "in the name of all that was right and proper, le would ask, why had not the persons who actually received the monies becan produced in Court- Achuck-who was he? where was he?" The At- tomey-General then pointed out the prevarication on the part of the principal witness for the Defence: but as be considered that the agreement between the Plaintiffs and Defendants was fully provcil, lie should with every confidence leave the case in the hands of the Jury.

His Lordship having summed up, the Jury re- tired.

At half-past 4, the Court was given to under- stand that there was no probability of a decision being arrived at, and shortly afterwards the Jury were called in and discharged.

The case will therefore have to be re-heard.

perial Commissioner.

Victori, Hoxaxena, Wik September, 1319. I bara already upon several ocessions addressed Your Excellency regarding Pirates, but as long no they remained at a distance and did not inter fere with Beltish vessels, I did not consider myself bound to interposs. Lately, however, acts of pira- ey have been more than ordinarily frequent la the vicinity of this Colony: one Junk, the property of

■ British subject, has been seized off Hainan, and there have been rumours that a British vessel, long missing, bad bon captured by the Pirates in that neighbourhood. A vessel-of-war won in conser quence despatched to make search; and on the 5th September, in Tiapak bay, foll in with a Best of Pirate Junks, of which she destroyed five.

My mind in most anxiously concerned about the injuries which the men and officers of Your N ourable Nation, engaged in the extermination and capture of the pirates, hava suffered from the igni- tion of the powder to which the latter, in their des peration, set are. The Civil and Military officers to the Eastward had reported that, on the 19th of the dik moon (26th September), certain piratas, whose vessels were in the barbour of the military station of l'ing-ba?, had fallen apoo Ta-ngan (Tal-0) a village within the orrek.

The destruction of the whole foot of the pirates, and the death of some 400 of them, of which I am informed in the later now onder acknowledgment, will greatly gladden the hearts of all men.

Until recently, England has b?en in the liabit of receiving Canadian produce at much lower duties that were assessed on similar articles imported from other countries.

In la rases the payers are tired of the system. England has withdrawn the pay and the Canadians com, li The American farmers have withdrawn it in pu and the manufacturers complain.

The state- ment of more than 10 of the crew of the fug- Lower being denwoel is an exaggeration. The crew is said to have comprised in all of 19 Manita men, four of whom were found to have been wounded some. what severely by the volley of stones which were thrown at them by the pirates, one of the crew in reported to have been shot and another drowned while attempting to swim ashore. It has been understood that the ebeste of Opium and the amount of foreign money plundered from the Mayhower were more than what has been stated in the Chop.

Her Majowy's Government hae approved of and confirmed Ordinanca No. 3 of 1849 extending the summary jurisdiction of the Bupreme Court to five hundred dollars. The ordinance has been in oper tion for several months and in its working gives very general satisfaction. To the Chinese it is pecially misfactory; they cannot understand the

At the same time were the Admiralty cases tried at the oral criminal 800- in, Justice would not be impeded, and the com munity would be relieved from a duty which is ex tremely oppressiva The crime iwolf is a common one, and when an Adairsky Court is held with a full Grand and Petty Jury, nearly every European in the colony qualified as a Juroz is taken away from business, the petty Jurors occasionally for several consecutive days. A penal of Jurore in the Su- preme Court of the colony has been reduced to six; when

In the Admiralty Session A requires twelve Grand Jurote to find a true bill; u double Jury from the list of Grand Jurors is therefore from thiety to forty eight-or, allowing for absenteos and sick, about every available man on the Island; from the Petty Jury list at least thirty are also in at- tendance Upon the Grand Jurors the service is com- paratively light, but the thirty Petty Jurors are kept away from the pursuits in which they are egg for the better part of a week. In its day the High Court of Admiralty was a meful tribunal; and to the presiding Judge it was na advantage to have the opinion of datal and other commissioners, no code of Admiralty laws being established ; but the d?ri sions of the late Lord Stowell and other eminent

Judges has supplied the defect, and the Commis sioners are now se much out of their place on the bench with a professional Jodge as the Bishops are out of their place wrangling in parliament on se cular mattors with the bereditary legislators. We feat the Admiralty Caurt is a burden not enally got rid, of but it is an oppressive one; in is complained of in colonies with twenty times the number of eligible Jurors, and the wonder is that this community have been quiet to long and served so faithfully,

In the Supreme Court of the colony bra is no Grand Jury, henos en amalgamation of the two Jury lists as refers to that court-would be an im, provom:nt. The Sheriff could then prune the pre- sent list of Potty Juroran little, and the roll would be benefited in no small degroo by na addition of soun fifty persons of intelligence and matured judgment. In many respects · present plan of taking the Ju. rom as they mand niphabetically upon the list an a good one—is is bouer than losing the selection to the discretion of the Sherif; but it is open to one objec tion, the community is so small that the sentimenta of early every Juror on important cases can be peet ty wall sturtained, and by referring to the previous panel it is known that such and such partine will be on the Jury. Advantage may be taken of this—not criminally-but by sounding the Jurors, and they will be objected to or allowed to pass accordingly. By an amalgamation of the two fists the task will be less sary, as, in a degree, there will be different classes to sound; but as a proper procantion, and without giving the Sheriff any discretion in the matter, it can readily be arranged that every third man is sum- mooed beginning with the third from the top of the fit and the third from the bottom or the third fram the top and second from the bottom and so on until the names have been ticked off, when the rule may be reversed or some other rule applied so that it will be impossible to tell who are to be on the Jury before they are summoned.

If the land rents are reduced, we feel aseared that the reduction will be an equitable one, ten, twenty, thirty, or forty per cent all rowed. We will thou look out for fresh taxes-the revenue of ?25,000 mua be kept up: considering that the colony is re- quired in a great degree to protect the opium tra- dere ( traffic not very popular in England), we would not be surprised to hear that a tongago due was to be levied on all the local shipping trading with fodia and on the coast of China. The opiu firms will say, "In that erost we will remove to Macto." Ferhaps they would, but they tried Ma- eno before and know what is. Of aft the resi dents of the colony they are the last who ought to complain; already enormously wealthy, by a com paratire monopoly of a large portion of the most profitable trade in the world, they add to their boards anually, sums which we will om venture to namo-aven the Plantagenets and the Tudors (wors perhaps the scapire-to crop such a field of bound. they will mortal) would throw down the lance less wealth.

A Marino of the unofficial Justices of the Pass, was convened by circular last wook at the request of His Excellency the Governor, take into consideration certain matters of importance to the interests of the Colony,” and took place accord- lagly in the Council room of the Government offices, at noon, on Saturday kat.

His Excellency opened the proceedings by stating that he invited the Justices to meet him in order to communicate the contents of a Des- patch which he had reonived by last Mail from Barl Grey, sanctioning his proposal for the ad- mission of two members of the civil community Into the Legislative Council, and requested the accordingly, at their perfect convenionos, my, within the next manth or six weeks, to return him the names of any two gentlemen whom

they might consider as eligible for the office in

question.

His Excellency observed that although the no. mination properly rested with himself, as was shown by Lord Gray's letter which had just been read, yet, as there were so many gentlemen of equal qualifications to choose from, ho preferred to be relieved from the necessity of making an ungra- cious preference, and, thought the simplest and most direct way was to transfer the nomination to the Body of Independent Justices. His Excellency paid the Gentlemen present the compliment of observing, that they must be much more capabla than himself of making ? judicious selection— where the question of "eligibility rusted entirely on the experience of the individual--bis familia-

His Excellency at same time left the question entirely to the judgement of the public, only begging the meeting distinctly to understand the grounds on which they were proceeding.

Upon this view of the case being presented to the mosting, there was a general feeling that we were taxed quite heavily enough already, (in which His Excellency fully concurred) and that munici pal management at such a price, would be too dearly purchased.

Mr Wilkinson Dent was the liberal contributor; our inform ant was Mr William Henry Mitchell, who said ho had it from the mouth of Mr Andrew Shortrede himself. This was long before Mr Mitchell was connected with the press; his word we have never bed cause to doubt, nor do we now; whether Mr Shortrede got the money is best known to himself and Mr Dent. We tell the tale as it came to us, and it is not a very long one.

In our Overland paper whilst commenting upon the summary of "The reply from Lord Grey to a petition from the Inhabitants of Hongkong to the Honourable Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land in parliament assembly," in which sum. mary no mention was made of one important clause of the petition-that which asked for a share in the Legislature-wo expressed a con- viction that in laying Lord Grey's sentiments before the public in a mutilated form, and in entirely withholding from the public his own, (which it is to be presumed His Excel lency expressed freely to his communication which covered the copy of the petition he was good enough to forward to the colonial office,) ho weakened confidence, acted unjustly to the colonists, to Earl Groy, and to himself. The summary was first published for general in- formation on the 17th October, the despatch itwulf was received on the 11th September, the official copy of the summary is dated the 11th October, and had been circulated among

On the ard of November the Justices of the Fence had a meeting with the Governor convened by circular. A report of that meeting appeared in the Register on the 6th, it was copied, with out comment, into our paper on the 7th, and the public are now tolerably familiar with The report does not include all that was said on the occasion, but so far as it goes it is to lerably correct. We now feel called upon to nolice some strictures passed upon a public Jour. nal, which had cominented upon the "garbled" and incomplete form in which Lord Grey's commentary upon the petition had been laid before the petitioners. His Excellency" was willing to believe that the statement in question was put forward in para misapprehension of the fact" &c. A public Journalist canoot re- asonably complain of open censure, he has opportunities of replying which are usually withheld from officers in the public service-- especially in the naval and military unfortunately for the Journalist in in the private communications to the Colonial office and other public offices and the whispered slanders of coteries which he has to dread; recent eventa, in a neighbouring colony, prove that by this asosialike mode of warters the characters of Colonial Editors (opposed to the Executive power) have been blackened, defamed and belied. That Mr Bonhamn is incapable of stooping to such discreditable Dieasures, is guaranteed by the whole tenor of bis life, with much of which, as a public officer, some of us are tolerably familiar.

The Colonial Secretary in his letter addressed to Mours Dent & Co. and others, which letter embodies the summary comment. ed upon, distinctly calls it a summary of the DESFATORES; he does not say of any parti- cular despatch, and when he wrote that lettor he ought to have known that one particular despatch was favourable to one particular portion of the petition, and if His Excellency

England. A Governor is not the Superin- tendent of some gigantic work-house or pani- tentiary, where his word is law and poor cro- aturos tremble at his frowo; his powers are limited to a certain routine of Executive adopt- nistration and a share in the legislature. There they ought to terminate; and when the legisla. ture is not elective, the rule is to publish bis correspondence with the Colonial Office. There is nothing mysterious in the working of a Co- lonial catablishment; the gislative Council in usually open to the public, and people of colo- nial experience cannot understand the closo, absolute system which has been introduced

here. The struggling of the Executiva with

the Judicial department; and the perfect vas-

salago of the inferior courts, is, we fear, preg-

nant of future evil. If we are to be ruled after the Indian fashion, then place us under the la-

dieb government, and give us a share of its so-

Tenue drawn from our commerce; but if Hongkong is to remain a British colony in neme,

let it be ruled as such.

It has been amerted that Mr Carr brought this matter to the observation of the local gov ernment, and that in some way he was influen. insced by the Executive in the steps taken to bring it before the court ; but nothing can be more incorrect. On the 25th ultimo, the Governor sent for Mr Carr; he laid before that Gentle man one or two letters from Dr Bowring parties to the Boud mentioned in the petitions ferring to the Bond; after Mr Care had read and affidavits-w that document in the these communications, His Excellency mid Court House with a notarial certificate which frankly that Mr Carr was at perfect liberty had been attached in direct opposition to bias either to state the particulats or not.

After receiving this intelligence, Mr Parker moved the Jodge to have the bond altogether cancelled." This was on the 22nd, the Judge ordered that the Bond be destroyed in the presence of Mr Carr, But Me Carr was not informed either that a mation had boon made the subject or that the bond was ordered to be barned in his presence, and accordingly he carried out his intention and on the 24th petitioned the Judge to be re- lieved from the responsibilities of the Bond. It will be understood that by responsibilition, pecu- nary responsibilities were not referred to--for there were none. Mr Carr explained these re- sponsibilities to Mr Parker when that Gentlemen asked him to re-acknowledge the Doad, by stal ing that from his connection with the press be might be called upon to ensure transactions with which he had in a manner identified himself. Had Mr Parker intimated to the two Bloodsmen' or either of them that the Bund was to be des- troyed and requested one of them to call at his office and ses it destroyed the matter would lave been at an and so far as they are coo. corned; he declined doing this, and he cannot be surprised that they petitioned accordingly. In his affidavit be overely swears that Mr Carr's objections to re-acknowledging the Bond seemed to be removed aller some explanations which he alleges to bave given. Mr Parker did not know that Mr Carr was then fully ac quainted with the transaction, and so onrly as the 14th of the month had declared that he would have nothing more to do with the ap peal, Mr Parker was a perfect stranger to Mr Carr, and he certainly did not feel inclined to discuss the merits the case with Mr Ward Jey's attorney; it appeared enough that be re- quested to see Mr Wardley himself on the sub- ject, at the same time showing the Attorney

that by becoming a party the Bond he (Bir Carr) was in a degree identifying himself with

In his Affidavit Mr Parker speaks of another interview with Mr Carr on or about "the 18th October instant" " which lasted for about an hour" when the said Jobo Carr never in any manner directly or indirectly on- quired about or alluded to the said Bond or the mid Appeal." About the date named Mr Parker called twice with reference to the nub.

OREY,

Tu services of the Sydney Gaol committee are not uncalled for in this quarter; during the hat seven or eight years queer things have boon done within the walls of the Hongkong Old Baile. Witness acting Chief Justice Camp- bell in a frolic ordering that the prisoners have their tails cut off; men he had already tried, and sentenced according to law (1). These bile extempore acts of Justice were no doubt vastly agreeable to the acting Judge, but dis- graceful to the person who had charge of the prisomers. The second punishment (tail shear, ing) to the Chinese is a more heavy penalty than a few months imprisonment. If we re collect aright Mr Bonham rebuked the parties concerned, having board of these discreditable proceedings:

It is necessary hors to read again parts of this evidence of Badik Mahammud, Cazan Ghulaum Hamish and Ullahie Box.

And now in respect to the law of this cam. In Political Commission like the present, the Court lo not directed cartsinly to take the law of Englad for its guide, but looking to that law as the four- taip from which the rules of the strictest justies sod soundest policy can be drawn, we now refer to the law of that Code on the subject of compulsion, or what is legally called dormi par minas." There fore in time of war or rebellion a man may be jus tifled in doing many treasonable hot by compul sion of the enemy of rebels, which would admit of Do excuse in the time of peace This however seemi only, or at least principally, to hold us to pitive crimes so areated by the law of Society nad which therefore Society may excuse, but not, as to natu ral offeners so declared by 19.6 low of and, where.

How forcibly dere this view of the duly of s member of Civil Society to his fellow eratorre under circumstances of duress apply to the case of Moelraj. By what right humsa or Divios was he to escape from his own encertain loss or avon peril through the path of the carisin murder of other helpless innocom fellow creatures. There would be do escurity to Bociety, if men of sound mind were rendered irresponsible for acts of violence towards the life of another by the excuse of moral do as he would be done by, in the circumstances in or physical compulsipu. It was Moulraj's duty to which he was placed, and to have refused to coun- tenance whatever bli nonsolence warned him was an set of wickedness.

It has with much feeling and force been urged upon the Court by the Afrocate for the Prisoner that the exposed condition of the female mambere of the family was a fearful tie upon Hoolraj, and that we should not wonder at Mootraj's bavitation usage of ble disappointed followers Pat the in- to do soy sol that might abandon them to the ill

If our memory does not deceive us, we have recorded in the columns of the Mercury the trial of one or two constables for permitting prisoners la thele charge to menpe.

It will be understood that by responsibilitios, pecu- niary responsibilities were not referred to--for thore wore none.

For instance, the statement of Ko tub Shah, one of the witresse for the prosecution, taken before the Resident in 1848, or by his orders, tay but faitly be road as that of an eye witness All that came within the direct and reposter. knowledge of the witness was wanted to be detailed, but that exact reference to what he had worn with his own eyes, or July heard from others, which would be necessary in formal proceedings before this Court, would not be thought of probably in a statement made for diplomatie purpose. The Court have themselves felt much embarrassment from the general character oftare of the former

depositions. In this way they see nothing in the F. C. M. Br. Magallane character of the variations of Kootub Shah to affect

his general credibility neither do they exchado the consideration from dealing with the evidence of the defence,

With regard to the paucity of evidence examin

ed before the Court, which is observed upon by

the prisoner's Advocate, the Court remark that there can be no eye witness of the erents inside

the Palace of M?olraj during the most important proceedings of the last thirty hours, exrepi Mool raj's own Officers, and desortern from Me Agnew's forces. Sodik Muhummed may be called one of the Gomer class. Kbanjur Singh is one of the latter. The Statement made by Khunjur Sing that lie was induced to make exaggerated statements at Mool in before the English Moohanies, by Wuzeer Alli's instigation, when viewed in connexion with

the remarks of the defence, explains at once much

of the cause of the paucity of witnesses produced

in elucidation of Moolraj's conduct in the interior

of his Council. Both sides evidently deemed II

best to produce only those witnesses who had not

committed themselves, and in this way the advo? ento for the defence, thoogh pressed by the Court to call up and examina two of the defence who had been exmined at Moolman, objected to call them in justice to the Prisoner's interests, so that the elucidation of the credibility of their Mooltan state- ments was placed beyond the option of the Court. The ergomenu of the advocate for the defence

in regard to the quality of the crime committed by Moolraj if bamicido really took place, do not affect the present indictment. The crime which especial. ly affect the father sad representative of his pro- ple, in a monarch or the ruling power whatever may be its character in other forms of Governincat are especially within the Authority of the Chief pawers in the state to prosecute or pam by. But murder is an offence which in a peculiar manner affects and lojarne individuale or private members of Civil society. It is impossible, too it can be committed without a violation of the lawe of a tore of the moral as well as political rules of right. Therefore the relation of a murdered man and the security of Civil society may solemnly appeal to the exining Government of a country to bring to exemplary punishment the individual who bas troongressed the laws of God and man, and the dic Lates of conscience, in wilfully procuring the death of a fellow creature. The offinca of homicide ie | homicide, whatever coloring the imagination of Bloolraj's frienda may give to the Mochan move- neot. It may be reason, and yet homicide of a treacherous and unrelenting character, committed by a body of men with Meolraj as their lender. The wrong done to the relatives and to society in Dot antisfied racept by the award of that punish. ment that all law ludi?ta upon wilful murder,

(From the Straits Times, October 10)

The business of the week, in articles of Euro- pran manufacture, has been very limited. Pur- chasers have manifested no snimation, and altoge ther business has been duil and priom unsteady.

A large amount of Bugis and other native boat have arrived sines our loat, with the asusi bat ma- derate supplies of produce pecobar to the islands of the Eastern Archipelago. The accounts receiv ed by three bonis lead to the impression that the supplies of several articles of simple commodity are likely to be less than theon of last year.

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.

(From the Straits Times, October 18) The business of the week, in articles of Euro pean manufacture, has been very limited. Pur. chasers have inanifested no animation, and altoge ther business has been dull and prices unsteady.

A large amount of Bugis and other native boate here arrived since our last, with the usual bat mo- derate supplies of produce prenkar to the islando of the Eastern Archipelago." The accounts receiv nd by three boste lead to the impression that the

supplies of several articles of stapls commodity are Jikely to be less than theas of last year.

In the produce market a better ?lisposition her been exhibited; roast descriptions of native imporu have been in request; in a few instances higher pre ces have been obesined for some articles, and many ordero yet remain unexecuted. For importers of produce, the market must be considered as most on- couraging.

EASTERN ARTICLES; for most descriptions there has been un active demand, stil pupplies by boats: rates are on the advaner.—Betel nut, arrivals both from Sumatra suil the East Coast of the Malayen Penimeula,—and salen mi $1.50 per pical.—Gita Than The imports of the week aggregate about tapiculs, which have been taken by Chineso all st ni 871 to 811 per picu) --Opium-Lenares Bas teen in good deansed since on last, and prices kare leaned from 473 to Ra? per chest, and if supplies

be moderate for the next week or two, pores we expected to go yet higher-Turkey is enquired after,

The Tools alleged to have been taken might have been used for other purposes than opening the money box, the discrepancy in the number of the crew as given by he did not think the Carpenter's evidence ought to him was also to be remarked upon, and altogether be dwelt on at all.

The Prisoners admitted that they were drunk and did not know what they were doing.

The first witness sworn was Poon Ayow who deponed that he was Carpenter on board the mid brig. On the 18th of October last about 18 a.

Again looked at bis tool box and missed two chisels and a hatchet braides the hammer.

About 5 o'clock in the afternoon one of the crew Aman brought him back the hammer and kalebet and one of the chisels which had been found down in the hol

About that time all the boxes of Treasure were ordered out of the hald to be taken aft; so the boxen were being taken aft observed one of them to be broken, and to have a string round it.

About dark saw the chief and second officer, they were distributing Rupees to the Crew. The second Mate told them he was going to leave the ship at Biacao and to say nothing about it.

Cross examined by Mr Parker, who appeared for the Prisoners "heard the recond Mste say that he was going to leave the vessel at Macao; understanda the Bengalee language; Gomez also told him so. The money was given to the men about 7 o'clock All the crew did not get rupera, twenty-one out of twenty-four got them-ho did not get any-the crew came sit to take them in twos and threes at a time,

The money was sherwards given back by the crew to the Captain. He told the Captain about the meney baring bera given to them. The second Mate was not in liquor on that day.

The cund with swoje was Shap & muck, Tin dal, who deponed, that as they were at work about the anchors on the 18th ctober last, the Carpenser came forward and said that the secoed Mase bad struck hun because he asked bin for bis hazamer.

It was ruled bowever that the Indictment was imperfect, and the Jury were directed by the Court to find a verdict of not guilty.

The Prisoners were then removed from the bar in Custody of Sherif's officors, who were directed to detain them Custody until the Queen's advocate was able to prepare another Indictment,

Afterwards, bowever, Mr Parker consented to al low the origina) Indictment to be amended by in sertion of the name of Henry Bardolph Conke

Fourth Witness sworn was Alonzo Davis, who deposed as fulluwa. I am a Lieutenant of the U. B Frigate Plymouth; on the 16th October last Captain Conner of the Gallant sent a letter to the Plymouth requesting some nauistance; Captain Godnay direct- ed me to send an armed Boat which I did under Command of Acting Lieutenant Welch; i followed shortly afterwards, Captain Connew told me tha the Treasure had been broken into by his Meten who had been giving money to his crew.

His loner the Judge then proceeded to address the Prisoners to the effect that the crime of which they stood ounvicted was of so beinoue a osture that one of them he should pats a very severe sen- tence. It was their doty to protect the propany under their charge, am to be the first to defraud.

There was certainly a very marked difference in the nature of the evidence against each of the Priables for them. I did not strike the first blow.

In the case of one of these Bile the whole of the witnesses had left the Colony without waiting to be served with notice trial, in the other cases the witnesses had left after bring summoned.

The first case tried was that of the "Queen . Bia- not and other"-containing two counts-one count being for a revolt, the other for an attempt at revult an board the ship India (on the 19th of September last) accompanied by an adult on the Master William Campball.

First Witness more Will Cupbell who deponed as follows: Master of the ship India, on the 19th September last, I anchored in the Lates pasang. About 19 o'clock (mid-day) I went to the gang-way to go into a boat for the purpose of pro- coding to Victoria, to procure a Flot to take the Vosed to Whumpos.

The Prisoners at the bar, James Sinnot, Micha Hanlin, Thomas Hughes, William Simpson, Michael Fraun, Danial Thomas, Edward Bridges, and Mal- colm Robertson came to me and asked for their dia. charge; mid I did not ship them to discharge them in the Lantao paesago- anked them what was the matter with them did they not get their victuals did they not get such work to do as they had agreed for, when they shipped on board?

The prisoner Binnot replied Bed but they would have their dischargu"-that-"If they did not get it, the abip should not go out of the place where they were at anchor."

I said I had not time to talk to them them, and went over the side into the boat.

I got a Pilot from Mr. Pedder about half-past 3 and left Victoria about 10 minutes past arriving

on board the ship about half-past 11 P.M.

When I get on board I called the Chief Officer and naked bin if the men had done their work as mual, head No I then desired lins to call them all ali, one by one, to give a clear explanation for their re fund of duty.

Got up to Whampoa on the las-on a Saturday- told the "Counsel's Agent," he told me to bring the men to him on Monday. Witness then left the box and brought in the hand-apikes used by the prisoners. Second Witusse James Holman, wern,-corrobo- rated evidence of the last witness in all essential particulars, "aw the Captain with a bayonet la his hand-he told the prisoners that if any man tried to delay the getting up of the anchor, he would raw ban through. Ho, and the Chief Mate, and Carpenter, with the Boys, attempted to bears up. The Captain told the Mate to so if say one was stopping the brakes. The Mate said they (the prisoners) ware. The Captain the said "take them af, one by one, and put them is irosus.” Witness put two of them in Irons.

Did not see any blows struck, but was aware that soma of the prisoners were wounded, when the ship ww under weigh he dressed the wounds of Bridges, Simnot, and Robinson.

Prisoners grumbled and growled a good deal on the passage, bus witness did not take notios of it. He did not grab forward. A good deal of unnecessary work was done. Captain was always guarrelling with somebody. The crew which came from England wors discharged by order of the Court in Bombay.

The Captain's wound was a scar on the fore hand. The blood was running down his face. The Captain had frequent quarrels with the crew, and with him t Whampoa, where he left the vessel at his own request. Did not so the arme loaded. Captain told him to keep the men always a-going.

It further appears to me advisable that the same Bill abould contain privistons for the establishment of Repro- sentative Inedications in the Colsales of Van Diemen's Land and Bouth Australia. ?n the former the numbermor the Conrist papalation, and the strict discipline which is was ne?mmary in cons?quence to malutain, have kiiberio been regarded as presenting obmuscles to the mitoption of any system of self-government; but is now appears to ma that soch a measure ongh? no longer on this k?conat to be delayed. In South Austin no such obstacles have ever axlated, and the rapid advance of its popalation la nom bers, and in wealth and insigenes, appear to ledicata elogste its inalienable sovereignty to a Queen, to that the time has ially arrived when that province should take its place among the well-govaralog Coleales of the British Empire, I propose, therefore, that in both these Colonies the principle of Popular Representation should be introduced; and that this should be effected by adding t?

Judd, Esq., Special Commissioner and Plenipotentiary Etraordinary to the government of France, Great Britain and the United States took his departure for Ban Francisco, in the schooner Honolulu on the 11th September," This nice little quarrel will have to be sealed by the Cabinets of the three great

powers.

It is mentioned io a Honolula paper that (ar. clusive of Priests) there are only twelve French- men on the Islanda; one a merchant, another a tar vera-keeper; the remainder, with the exception of ose clerk, are employed by Americans or English mts. There has never been but on cargo of goods imported from France, and for five youre not single French merchant ship has visited iba lelanda. It is admitted, however, that some French schoners had been there in that time "mostly freighted by English and American marahania,"

BER JAMES BROOKS AND PIRACY. (From the Singapore Free Press, October, 6) In the Daily News of the 25th June, we ?nd a Jeter from the Singapore Correspondent of that pa par, professing to give the details of the Expedition undertaken in April last by Bir James Brooke, sid- ed by the H. C Steamer Nemaris, against the Bakerran and Barabas pirates, and this is followed on the succeeding day by an editorial comment in the amo spielt that has character and the numerous articles which the Daily News has lately published

garding Bir James Brooks,

In the Straits Times of 28th April, is given what la called a summary of the proceedings of the same expedition, and in that paper about a month after warde, on the 23rd May, appeared a long editorial on the subject w?b amplified details. There is mich

■ coincidence, even in words, between the state. men in the Daily News and the Stratis Times, that there can be no doubt they were both derived from the same tourea. Our local contemporary, any Diore than ourselves, can have no personal kaow ledge of what he has given currency to, and it in but ir therefore to conclude that ba has been made a bundle of by some other party to give circulation to kao statements, which are evidently conceived in ?very hostile spirit to Sir James Brooke, and with the view to damage him in the public estimation. That these statements are untrue we have the twe limony of Sir James Brooke himself, in ble speech at the dinner given to him on board the Albatross, as reported in our last invon, and with the contr diction we might distoiss the subject, an to every honourable mind is is conclusive” when weighed against the assertions of bla anonymous assailant. These statement hare however, been pol sa pro. mineally forward, and have been made the basis of such hostile commentary upon the actions and mo lives of Bir James Brooke, that we deem it our duty to notice (bem at same length, and to show that the

conclusions drawn from them are alike falso and unfounded.

and Sateban pirates are not very obvious. That they are undertaken for the purpose of gratifying the propensities of Sir Jacom Brooke's allies for heads is a supposition so monstrous and improbable that

thing need be said in refutation of at. Only the Daily News, which seems to receive ovarything as topul that is said to the dualvanings of a public

For instase, that important evidenon respecting the covers on which the so- Liceo were written. ~ This remarkabla piece of evi- dence was evidendy regarded by the prisonse with a sort of admitation, though it had the greatest posalble weight against him. As in the moral of- fect of the trial, we fear they will not be very great. Bol few expressions of detestation or bor. for escaped the vast crowd who thronged around the court house, and the fact that the prisoner de fended himself, as well na the unpopularity of Mr Compre Jermy, created a sort of unwholesome feeling so- wards him among many of the lower classes.

Dancing Motim of the Air-The Land becomes exceedingly hat, by absorbing the actar rays, und imparts best to the air incumbent on its surface;

This phenomenon may be artificially imitated by host. ing a bar of iron red-hot, then holding it borizon- tally in the air, at arm's length from the face, and Juoking at surrounding objects, through the sic sbare the heated surface, they will all appear dia- torted, because the natural squilibrium of the air in disturbed, convecilyo currents take place, and the light in unequally refrected.

Dyaks of the right hand side of the Batang Lupat, have sent fire men to Bir James Brooke, to intrent his protection, and to promise that they will have nothing more to do with, the Sakaran. Informa tion had also been received at Sarawak that the chiefs of the Sarabas sedan tribes residing on the Kanwil river, whom Captain Farquhar attached in August lost, had sent thirty five of their principal men to meat Sir James Bronke, and to promise to leave off pirating. By the Inst account they had reached ?iriki. It was also ge nerally reported that great divisions existed in the councils of the two great pirate hordes of the si- very of Sacabas and Sakarren, and that a part al most the majority, were inclined to submit, but were prevented by a few of the more determined chiefs. They have evidently however received a deep impression from the late proceedings against them; they are all in great fene of another visit, and many are noxious to ba nt peace before they are treated like those of Paki and Konawil. Very little would apparently suffice to cando okvi the most determined to succomb. A short eruize of a steamer, the very appearance of our being na the alert, and reolved to keep a watch upon their proceedings, would probably have the desired ef feet. Every fresh enquiry tends to shew the ex- tept and numbers of the Dysk tribus on this Conat, and the importance of preserving peace and quiet- The Interior Dynku of the Dear amongst them right hand of the Batang Lupat, number at the very least 30,000, and the Barabar and Sakurran tribro may be safely stated at 70,000. The other rivers are equally populous according to their size, and the produce of those rivere, at present closed, were it to have from passage, would be very great.

the late 'T'. MoKmour, Esq, to put up to Poulio Avorion, on Alonday the 3rd of December next, ni Il o'clock A. m.; Marine lot No. 65 Situated East of the Military Hospital, and West of the Promises

belonging to the Roman Catholic Mission.

This valuable piece of ground measures 200 foot along the line of the Queen's Road, and containe 10,104 square foot; It has been lavelled, and u con wall of grant frength and thicknow built the whole length of the sea faco, at immense expense, there are on it veren substantist Chinese Shops some of them already kt 10 respectable tenants at a fair rent

The Auctioneer begs to call attention to this really splendid opportunity for any one wishing to obtain ground for building purposes. It is well known that owing to the recent troubles at Macao, and other reasons, that a gront number of respec table Chinese are seuling in this Colony, and Chi- nese Houses are being built in various parts of the town.

There is sufficient space for a long row of these houses, besides an invaluable position on the den frost for n shipwrights business, or for warehouses, which in the present rising stals of the Colony will be wasted. I central position noor the Hospital, Barracks, Spring Gardens &e, and space for all kin's of building, renders this one of the most de sirable opportunities, for the safe investment of Capital aver yet offered to the Public.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA

We mentioned last month that by instructions from the Secretary of State Committee had been up. pointed “to igrenigste and report on the subject of the land tenure in this colony." The result of their inquiries will be transmitted to Her Majesty's | government by this mail ; and six months bence the report ony be pullished in China. A local paper has been discussing the maltes for a month; bain be has not yet wound up the subject wo are at a fist to tell what are his particulara views,—whether he is bolstering up the opinions of the committro or merely hazarding his own peculiar notions upon uhjeet with which he does not appear to be very Familiar. Bo far as we can understand the text, the Register argues that the parties who purchased building allotments in Hongkong previous to the treaty of Nanking are entitled to an abatement, on the plen that five putts are open to foreign commeres sinen that treaty, whereas formerly there was only one-enerquently they were deceived into making foolish bargainst bo cite the nomes of elevto parties who built upon their allotments before the treaty of Nurking was signed. In it. self this argument is a poor one, but such as it is, it ir incorrect. Of the eleven firms, five did not laive their quarters in Maceo to settle in Hongkong for Dearly two years after the treaty of Nanking was arranged; one had his buildings rented giving a re- thm of 75 per cent per annum ; another paid a con. siderable premium for the transfer of one of the lite sold in June 1941, on this bit of ground he built house which for bong term was let to go. coment at a rental which gave him a return of 50 per cent per annum; another firm sold their or iginal allotment to government for prelly round sum, and got another which suited their purpose better; another died not by a stone until long aster the treaty of Nanking, sad, sparking from idemo- cy, a escand firm is in the same position; another firm built upon their land, and the rents have pa? principal and interest long ago. Une piece of land with the buildings belongs to a bankrupt estate, and out of the whole number of "hard caen" named there is not more than two where the property has | not remunerated the proprietors.

(From the Morning Chronicle, September 1840) The untiring energy and paresverance displayed by Me Charles Panton in grappling with the diffi- cult question of Becondary Punishments, deserve unqualified praise; for, although we regard with more than Academio scepticism, his professions of ability to solve this problem, and although we day altogether his assumed title to exchim * Eureka, we feel that by exciting controversy on the subject, and by keeping men's minde alive to (ta vaal im- portance, he is conferring on the public no inconsi dorable benefit.

We consider that, in the of light sentences, the discipline enforced at Read ing gol-and in the case of heavy santances, that adopted at Peateovilla-are respectively the mom efficient modes of punishment which bara hitherto been devised; and we cannot imagine say measure better calculated to check the commission of crime iban one which should compel the introduction of similar systems of imprisonment into all the gaola of this country. The member for Lambeth, how- ever, entertains very different views; and an be appears detained that his opinions shall at any rate not fail to make converts for want of being repent odly expressed and widely diffused, it may be worth while to consider somewhat in detail the merits of his scheme of imprisonment, an unfolded in his re- cent Jectures delivered at Exeter.

our exports for the first seven mouths of this your have not only recovered from the extraordinary de prension of Mal year, but they aven exhibit a conel derable increnso, to the amount of a million, on the corresponding period of 1847. We have, therefore, made up our lost way, and are now again to the ca- reer of prosperity, as if shere had been no "glorious days" of February or June, ao revolution or wire, no state of siege or blockade. As, to, in the eati mation of some people, the free acceptance of sup plies from our neighbours is a greater folly than war, and a greater disaster than revolution, we will add that we are at least na prosperoon as if there had been no such thing u free trade.

Had he built six years ago, he couki have rented his houses to advantage; the present purchaser may also turn it to good account, by improvements, but unless there was a great demand for land in that vicinity, which there is not, competition could not be expected at the sale on Monday. From the Register's statement it is clear that the late Mr McKnight did not show much judgment in this land speculations; though a man purchase a field and plough it, he must plant scoil before he can expect a crop. The deceased gentleman paid for the land and was at the expence of tillage, but he put no seed into the ground, and because ho raised no corn we cannot assert that the soil is sterile and unfruitful. Mr Me. Knight was not the only unlucky speculator in land; but amongst the unfortunato aro not to be classed the purchasers at the sale of 1841, they are better off than any body else, and the report of the parliamentary committee will sa- tisfy any reasonable person that they were not cozened out of their money.

THE Justices of the Ponce hold a meeting on Thursday, for the purpose of electing two members of the Legislatisp Council, and also of returning an answer to Me Bonham's pro- peal on Municipal matters.

Mr David Jarline and Mr Joseph Frost Edger were elected to the Council, and, as matter of course, the election will be approved of and confirmed,

The Justices did not think this a favorable opportunity to interfere with Municipal manage ment and declined the Governor's offer made at the meeting on the 3rd ultimo. By that offer the entire control of the Municipal affairs of Victoria was to remain vented in the Governor and his Executive Council 1; the Commissioners were to have the honour of paying the subordinates of the police force, and to enable them to do this they were to have placed at their control the assemment on house-rent, which being ?1,000 short, their municipal duties would have commenced with a fish assessment, while the general revenue, upon which batten a cmps of idle officials, would be helped by ?1,000 thus wrung from the colony,

The Executive of Hongkong has displayed great fact, but the days of deception are near close. Parliament will not continue to vote year after year a large sum to support a staff of Idlers on the shores of China; nor will the inhabitants quietly submit to additional taxes raised for the same purpose. If unavoid- able, false delicacy must be laid aside and a memorial drawn up and forwarded to be Culonial Office, staring fairly the past ser. vices of the different officials and how they were remunerated-the salaries they now draw and the number of their assistants—and, finally, whether their services are required at all. The local government will not priest us—we are fools if we don't protect ourselves.

We publish in full the roport of a meating in aid of the funds of "The Missionary College al Hongkong" held at Manchester on the 17th of September, as we are under the impression that, although the Episcopal Church has made Hongkong the seat of a Bishopric (and the Church of Rome is at perfect liberty to do the same, if so inclined) and a Gentleman not quite unknown in Chios, now rejoices in the high sounding title of Lord Bishop of Victoria, still a large portion of the inhabitants of Hougkong are unacquainted with the precise object and intent of the movement.

At a moderate calculation there is already one Protestant Preacher of the Gospel for every forty Europeans of that persuasion on the island. There are two places of worship open every Sunday, and even with the pre- sence of the military, neither is filled, nor can be filled. The Colonial Chaplain (Episcopalian) is sided by the Miltary Chaplain, and occa sionally by the Chaplains un board the ships of

The College, it seems, already exists in the promines occupied by the Reverond Vincent Blanton, who built them at the cost of ?2,000 for a school; for the completion of thear buildings the sum of ?5,000 is still required; and to support the establishment (in wildition to the Bishop's | salary of ?1,000, which is secured) there is also

For our own part, we believe that with ono third of the money more good could be effected in one year within the boundaries of the British Islands, than will result from the "Hongkong Missionary Collego in ten years. That is up- posing the friends of the institution succeed is raising ?5,000 to build with, and ?1,500-year to support teachers. But whether or no, for his youre, experience, and services, Bishop Smith is a fortunate man—truly "his lines have fallen in pleasant places."

The unseemly interruption of Mr Southwell (at the Manchester mooling) must strike every one who reads the report. At a meeting of those friendly to the object, no man had a right to interfere, and in ejecting the pertinacious mover of the amendment, the police in no way encroached upon the constitutional prinolple by which every man claints to bava a hoaring from his fallows. led it been a public meet- ing" to take into consideration the accessity, or propriety, of supporting a Church of England Bishop, or Missionary College, in China” then Mr Southwell might claim to be heard ; but the meating was hold with no such intention- and no dissentient had a right to express his sentiments. The Bishop of Manchester calle Mr Southwell an Lufdol, and he may be one. But in all ages Churchinen have had a dan- gerous way of dealing out epithets—the Pha- risoen styled our Saviour a devil, and no doubt many good poople of the time believed that the term was correctly applied.

In each of the five cities, except Canton, we were brought in contact with a very friendly people, who were emirely wanting in those preju diers against us which prevailed in the latter city. There was no strong bigotry perceptible amongst them; there was nothing like a system of Hindoo castes amongst them; the state religion was more a system of political morals than of religious ethics. The modern religion, Bulbiam, was an importation from Elindostan; and the priesthood had us in- fluenes, and possessed no respect, in the minds of the people. Then there was no country wherU literature was so much respected as it was in Chias; finally, besides this, owing to the toleration of the over meat, every native of Chine was allowed to profess himself a Christian, without being exposed to any penal laws. But there were great difficul- ties connected with the work of missions in Chios; and so long us we lasited ourselves to an exclusi. vely European agency, uur labours most be of a very partial kind. Sending ont missionaries from ukimately took to native agony for the sucoseful England was only a temporacy messure. We must propagation of the gospel through the world. The Brut difficulty against which we had to conland was, that we were prevented from going into any bui these fire cities, placed at intervals along 1,000 day's jourony (or about thirty miles) into the coun miles of die southern eat of China, and for a around them. We must have bative Christian minionaries, who would be able to penetrate into the country unfettered by thean boundary restric- tions. Then the state of the country religiously was one of infidelity, perhaps of pore delam in many cases, but in most approaching towards pla indifferent to their own superstitions. Then alhaism; eo that this religious apathy made the pea bare were the proverbial dificulties of the Chinese language to contend with,- language not written alphabetically as ours, but containing 20,000 sepa rate charnelere, each for a seperate word. Only about 6000 of these, however, were in common use (and when 1,000 of these had been learned, the acquisition of the rest was comparatively easy) so that the acquisition of the language was brought within an average amount of industry and porno- wrence. But there was then the farther difficulty of speaking Chinese. Every Chinese word was properly a monosyllable, and the organs of human speech being only capable of uttering about 300 or 400 different sounds, the 20,000 words had to be divided amongst these 300 or 400 sounde; so that mady obaracters having very different meaning had the same sound, and were only distinguished from each other in the spoken language by very delicate difference in the intonaties, which not on European in ten could make. It became, therefore, imperative that we should have native evangelists, and for this purpose it was proposed to found a mimionary college at Hongkong. In whieb Chinese students of suitable moral and mental qualification might receive the blessings of a Christian educa, 100.

I immediately plunged the nther hand into a poi filled with incandescent met el, which was truly fearful to look at involun- tarily shuddered, but both hands came out of the ordeal victorious....I shall of course be asked," he continues," what are the precautions necessary to prevent the disorganizing nation of the incandes. cent mass?—I answer nose.

The experiment succeeds perfectly when the skin is moist, and the dread usually felt at facing masses of fire supplies the necessary mulature; but by tak- ing some precaution we may become truly larel nerable. The following succeeds best with me. ray banda with soup, so ne to give them a polished surface; then at the instant of trying the experiment, I dip my hande Into a cold solution of alammoniac satured with sulphurous acid."

It would make the people ovea mors hostile—were auch a thing possible-tod unless we retained mili- tary possession of the province, the factories would be destroyed by the infuriated mob, and the inmates most probably butchered,

From the London Journal of Commeres we extract a paper oo "Our commercial relations with China" which in the absence of other matter will serve as the text for a short editorial anticlo. The writer does not appeat to have a personal acquaintance with this quarter of the globe, at least from his blundera on mere matters of fact we presume that be labours under the disadvantage of writing from hearsay, and not from personal observation. He advocates the reoccupation of Chusan, arguing that we would thus command the trade of Ningpo, Shanghai, Foo-chow foo and Amoy, These places are all open to our Merchants; none of them have been left untried. Before Shanghai was a port of trade, and while Churan was under the British flag, There was a large trade carried on at the falund; but so soon as it was announced that Shaughai was open to foreign traffic the native dealers disappear, ed, and although Chusan will continued in our pos- session it was, for commercial purpoecs, valueless. This was foreseen and marchants had made their arrangements accordingly. Shanghai from its po, sition and direct communication by inlead an vigation with the richest portion of the empire is naturally the grand emporium of trade in the north of China. And to suppose that the native merchants from Sou-chow and other inland inatte would pass Shanghai and make a royage to Chu san (supposing it to belong to Great Britain) in order to buy or sell is about as reasonable as to suppose that the merchants in the interior of the United States would embark at their own port of New York to transact their foreign trade at the British colony in the Bermudas.

By this arrangement Hongkong would be to Chaton what Shanghai is to Boo.chow, with the difference in the mode and time of paying duties. There would be no risk of collision with the hostile natives of Canton; the position of the foreign mer. chant would be more agremble, and neither his life nor property be at the marcy of a lawless rubble.

Partially we concur in the opinion that Canton "la too hot to hold us now," and that "iu gentry and Jiterati have inade ? the rendeavous for plot and treachery," but the trade of Canton can never be removed to Chusan. Canton importa annually from British India raw cotton to the value of balf a mil- lion sterling. That trade will never be carried to the north, and, as yet, there is no great demand for it in the south except at Canton. There are other articles of import for which Canton is the great mart, or which find their way into the interior by the Doble river that beats its name,

thore; in doing so they would acrifice their own interest the trails of the port would not follow them. But, to us, it appears as if the day were not far distant when all foreigners will be compelled to leave the city. Various causes-most of them pro- bable-may result in the abandonment of the fine-

tories. Should this take place the trade of the port will not migrate to Chusats or to any distance from the river. Were the provincial sity destroyed, the inland markets would still demand their supplies, the agriculturist still push forward his produce for sale. The implacable disposition of the Camion people, the faithlessness of government, and the na tional crimes which require to be atoned for-with- out further provocation-would justify Great Britain in demanding redress.

Canton imports annually from British India raw codon to the value of half a mil- hion sterling. That trado will never be carried to the north, and, as yet, there is no great demand for it in the south except at Canton. There are other articles of import for which Canton is the great Iuart, or which find their way into the interior by the noble river that bears its name.

Pants, Saturday, 6.30 r. m. The following is a copy of a letter addressed by the President of the Republic to M, Edgar Ney un the affairs of Rome:-

Elysee National, August 18, 1949 *My dear Ney, The French Republic has not sent an army to Rone to strangle Lallaci liberty, but, on the contrary, to regulate it, and preserve it from excesses, and on a solid basis to restore to the fontifical throne the Prince who at the fire placed liimaalf boldly at the bead of all uerfel reforms,

We shall not seek to maintain for this locument a personal and almply won-ocial character; it appears to us im possible that the cabinst could have been ignorant of it, and we most therefore consider it as an act of the French government.

All that has been done at Home slace we ca-to- tablished the ptical authority has been done in op of us, we will not say in opposition to us. It was a state of things which could not less. We will not go so far as the president of the republic when he says that the Imperial armies left the germe of liberty as the trace of their pawaga In that case they would have created Uberly without knowing it. That appreciation of things enters a litla to the philosophy of the history Invou ed by modern writers,

We should be much astonishel if the soldiers of the old guard, in making the tour of Europe, imagined that they were making a constitu- Lonal propagandim.

The most important features of the late Indian intelligence were comprised in some resolations of the new Commander-in-Chief touching the reform of the army. By this phrase we do not mean that the existing discipline has been found to dareand sammary improvement, or that any imputations have been cast upon the condition either of officers or men. The project refers especially to certain practices of the service on which we have more than once animadverted, and which exart so anomal- its colonel and one captain are on furlough-an an influence on the emency of the Indian army, unually small quota of absentars on this score. that if Sir Charles Napier can succeed in his views, Its major in a brevet lieut-colonel and adjutni. the result will be almost equivalast to a re-orgen-general of the army; one of its captain commands

There are few of our readere but are not aware that the regiments of the Indian army are very urch under-officered—that is to say, that the nume rial proportion of officers to men, is, even on pa per, much below that malined in other military stablishments.

The result of the shipmonis from this quarter is even worse than was anticipated. Soms sales skew a loss of 75 por cent upon genuine lovoices, and others, it is said, are even more unfavourable. This refers obiedy to European goods, slap ol-thing, spirits, wines, Hardware &:.

The trade between California and this port for the future will of necessity he almost limited to the productions of the country (ugricultural and ma. nufactured), houses in frame, and lumber Silks and crapes to some extent may find a market as they will be readily picked up by the Mexican contrabandistas. The shipments from the United States, from England, and other questero, where a Bustments can be procured at low prices, will deter parties from sealing European gools from this quarter.

As the Oregon territory gela settled and saw mille are set

I used not remind you that Allah is in ine Moslemerend the God of the Musalo and the Christian dispensations, both of which Mohammed recognized as Divine,

The burden of the oslonial grievance is that the Colonial office is trying to make the Cape a penal settlement of the same kind se Taamania and New South Wales Were this the case, no language of the complainants could be strong enough to de bounce so grom and intolerable an outrage. Every thing that has been said by the most vsolent of the declaimers against the Government would have been amply deserved, had this assumption been just. But this is not so. The Colonial office, which bas many reline of its own to answer for, has nol, on its con science the slo of wishing to cotrupt the Cape inte another Botany Bay. There has been no intention of making the Capo'a penal settlement. All that it bas done has been to send out some one or two bun. dred convicts, a large proportion of whom had al. ready passed a probationary discipline under loopse- tion at home, for the purpose of being assigned as labourers in the colony. The others were Filah pri- soners, transported on a first conviction for crimes committed under the pressure of severe and nousun? privation for the express purpose of being transport. ed. We recollect drawing the stention of the pub- lio to the peculiar feature of the Irish calendar in the spring of this year. It was a matter of obser ration, then, that the character of Irish, oriene was abnormal and inconsistent with the general habla of the crimina) population. Priscoers pleaded guilty by scores to aela of larosny and robbery such as had hardly ever found a place in the sonas calendar, There were few-hardly any of those sets of per- sonal violence and agrarian outrage which used to characterize the proceedings of an Irish aagiza. The prisoners avowed that they had committed the eri- mes with which they stood charged for the express purpose of archanging a wretched life in a smitten country for subsistence of nay kind ofsewborn, Many of those-persons untainted by any previous criminality-are among the prisoners whose ap- proach, fills the purists of the Cape with such horror sad alarm. A fow others are political criminale : and the rest—a large majority-bave been selected for their good conduct and docility during their in- prisonment at home. They are the ?lite, not the

rum of the condomined; men whom it has been the | benvolent policy of the Government to save from tu enntamination of ordinary criminals, and to res- tore to the path of industry and honesty in sunther country. None of these classes can be for a single moment compared with those wretched outcasts whose horrid presence tainted the Gyerm of the An- Lipodes. The discontent of the Cape colonista is die- proportionate to the cause, if not wholly baseless.

The principles recommend- ed for working are low furos, a limitation of the weight of the engine, and of the speed of the trains (arat) to 80 miles an hour for passengers, and 15 for goods. Stability without ornament is to be the rule in the architectural portions of the works, and uniformity of gauge is to be strictly preserved throughout the country. Three regulations, simpto and obvious enough, apparemly, in themselves, will not be without interest in the eyes of those who can recognise the tenching from which they spring.

AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. ? (From the Times )

Up la cito present time we have never suffered ourselves to dospair for Ireland. Grost no were the evils which goes her unfortonais distinction among the nations of the earth, there was always something in their character or in tile origin which forbade despondence and mitigated comore. Faction, venality, and impresidence were the triple curse which yoked her to inquietude, degradation, and penury. But for mich and all those, excuses were suggested, and excuses ware received. The spirit of faction was but the challition of a generous disposition, which, ill-brooked the stagnation ination and the renosa of peace; which they a whole eval and energy into every cause it scopted, and, when no cause was at buffen, de- mand its championship, forged and for kaelf; which loved war for ita excitement, but more for its re- conciliation. Vedelity was the natural consequence of extending the privilages of tonalitutional gar erament and the forms of consikutional assemblies to a people whose emersion from barberiem bad bean greeted with a more than barbarous druelly by their civilized conquerore. And as for kapro. vidamos, if it had tu ill, it had also its good. In Providence gave the Trishman an aspect of carele jollity under all furtones and an all occasions. If he prospered, he was more elate in his prosperity than other man; if he was unfortunate, bie mi- |fortunes never tinged hu sonny brow with the sombra thoughtfulum of a moen prudent ruan.

In all conditions and vicis sitodes of life he passed for that which avery drom- stiel, from Congrats to Of Keefs, delighted to paim him- man without fixed principles of action, bat aqually without gails, vinilictivonams, or prudence.

But we have done with both attack and appeal; the sooner Mr Bonham intimates to the Register that he requires none of his ad. vocacy the better for himself; and if we may venture to advise that Journal, we would re commend him to recollect that his writings
