BRITISH COLUMBIA. Yesterday a public meeting, convened under the sospices of the British Scrth Ameriean Assottiatiori. was held at the London Tavern, in enter to give the Hoe. Mal eohnesnowon se opportunity of *Wee helms the public a reliable socount tithe position and prospects of that colony. The Hon. ARTHUR BretraleD, Kr., presided at the opening of the mooting, sad Mr. WATIT2II satoequentiy occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN hssirg referred to the importance which British Colombia derived from the gold die:tonnes on the Fraser River, introduced The Hon. MALCOLM CAMERON, who said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—Let me thank you, in the fun place, for this meeting of the friends of the British colonist for the kind invitation which I received to snood it, and which I have gratefully accepted. I desire to say • few words fur British Columbia- and on the vest importance and comparative mute of making British North America the highway between the Pacific and the Atlantic. Awl here I woad at the outset claim your attention as fellow bjects, for as a colonist my greatest pride is in my' alegi nee to the British throne. Heel we are regarded as one with yourselves under • free constitution, protected althea& ciezens of one great empire. True, the brood Atlantic rolls between us ; but under the lag of Britain we are united by that which no boundaries conceived by the ingenuity of man, nor barriers of nature, however net, can separate—l men the brotherhood of a common oriels, the attraction of • common history, the ties of a mutual ioterest in the general prosperity, hsppiuese, and progress of the empire to which it is our good fortune to being. (Cheers.) I appear here 60-day not so much in the capecity of • somewhat old mem her of Ilse legislature of Canada, having sereid twenty-seven years is that body as the defecate of British Columbia, an office to which the confidence of the people of that distant dependency of the British empire has appointedme. (Cheers.) For them I am in England to ask from the colonial minister representative iustitutlooll and sties I say that Vancouver's Island, half as large as Ireland. des • constitution and • body of representatives, while the natineut of British Columbia, three times as large as Scotland and Irelaadewith • population double that of Vancouver's Island. has neither of three privileges and not a single representative, but is governed and taxed by proclamation, I feel that this meet ing. and so intelligent and liberal& nobleman as the Duke of Newcastle, will not refuse fairly to consider the claims upon which I believe the future of the British empire on the Northern Pacific mainly epeeds. Far be it from me, however, to disparage the services of time brave and energetic governor of these provinces. All that • single man, clever and resolute, and *eve to the importance of his petition. could do has been done by Governor Douglas, sod I believe I , with the beet intentions. But • ceustry so large, with dormant resources so vast, must govern and develop itself by its owe soon under a free constitutice, or go down and re- • ntain the hunting ground of savages.

(Hear, bear.) I have said that British Columbia is three times aa large as Great Britain. It ban a coast line I of over 500 miles on the Pacific, and extends eastward over 600 miles to the Rocky Mountains, which mountains have 1 heretofore been deemed a serious obstacle to communica tion from east to west ; hot a thorough survey has now ' proved the existence of passes which are but gentle heights and rolling knolls clothed with verdure on the flanks, and offering no real obstacle to the traveller from the east who seeks by that route to reach the goldnens. (Mr. Cameron here read extracts from Captain Aline?, report, and dem patthes of Governor Douglas, corroborating his views as to the perfect practicability of • railway from Canada to 1 the Pacific, the exceeding salubrity of the climate of British Columbia, sod its great adaptability for settlement.) I Ten years ago (annulled Mr. Cameron) British Columbia I was called New Caledonia, and was regarded as • wild and I inhospitable country, peopled ooly by savages of the most Whereas noes ; but the discovery of pare in 1858, on its I mounting' sad in it, rivers, attracted • migratory pope ktion of between 30,000 and 40,000 persons. Gold disco- I vain invariably lead to rushes and fevers, and consequent disappointments and disaster. On the cry of gold, miners a. , speculators rush to the diggings. There are no means of locomotion sod no'organhation for supplyiog the neces saries of Fle e and many, consequently, must be disap pointed. But it is now beyond cavil or dispute that there is an enormous deposit of gold in all the streams flowing out of the Bold and l Rocky Mountains. Copper. silver, lead, and coal are also ' found in abundance, and all that is now needed to develop its resources, quadruple its populatios, end give content ment, I ' is • popular and stable government ; one that will Five the people the management of their own affairs, and educe men of energy and independence to settle perms. neatly within its territory. In the year just expired, 1862, upwards of 600,0001. in gold has been brought down the Fraser by European and Csatsdiaa inners ; while gnu anus& of Chinese have taken away large sums, d which no estimate can be made. The rudest quantity of gold has been found within the great bend of the Fraser ; but from the sands of the river, and everywhere along the volcanic range, the original seat of the treasure, sad in the multitude of streams flowing therefrom, some noble river like the Fraser, which traverses 500 miles of the country, or the Columbia. which ?owe 250 miles into it, others of minor importance, like the Peace or thefinckeen riven, which drain smaller areas, gold is found. British Columbia is not an alluvial flat, and is not tbereforeas purely an a g ricultural and penal country as Canada, and perhaps not as fertile as Vancouver, but its valleys are as beautiful and its coil as produc tive u any in the world. Vegetation is forced as rapidly end to as large • growth as in any other part of the continent. In short, • country which produce., the most magnificent trees in the world cannot fail under culti vation to yield the leaser fruits and products of nature 106- cient ter the wants of man. The fir or pies of British Columbia is unrivalled, the height sod site so astonishing en ie he almost incredible even to the Canadian lumbar-man. You bad this year at your Exhibition • spar 271 feet long, such • stick as was never seen in Europe before ; end I have sena fir tree, no uncommon one, 327 feet lone and 11 feet in diameter. This tree was meastirwl by Col. Moody. R. E.. in nay presence, and we found that for 200 feet of it. length there was not • single pre:letting limb. The cedars of Lebanon are but se twigs to the cedars of Columbia, acd she has other wood, in prnportion. The climate on the coast is better than that of England is the winter, and is more delightful than the south of France in the summer. al though further to the eastward and nearer the mountain range the climate is more severe, and snow falls as early as in Canada. On the whole, however, whether tubed by its climate, soil, minerals, its fisheries, t eft, or flora, British Columbia is a country that will compare with any part el Anse rinsed the Saxon race can go therewith as greetprespecte of Burnes as to any other land. The only taxation now imposed is British Columbia is &charge cf 10 per cent. on all productions brought into the eolooy. This, with taxes on licenses to sell or min , and the sale of government lands at 4s. as acre. yielded a revenue in 1862 of over 120.000'. sterling, which, after expenses of revetment. wu aimed entirely laid out in opening up the direct mod to Canada, which fortunately panes over the route te the Cariboo.

There seems no doubt that the eastern elope ' of the Rocky Monotones contain; gold also, and the country 1 to the Red River and South is an unbroken prairie, equal I to Illinois , and capable of sustaining mi ll ion ofinhabit.ants. so that not only are there no physical obstacles to Canada and British Columbia uniting themselves by means of such a line of intercommunication, but nature has proffered every inducement for the accomplishment of the same, and the people of both countries are yearning for the day when they shall see nee treat British mercantile street extending from Nova Sootia to New Westminster. It only requires that Foglaud should now be true to her own interest in the extension of her commerce, and the preservation of capital already invested ; and by acting vigorously and promptly, secure through her own territory what other nations are watching with jealous and sleepless vigilance—an unbroken line of communication emcee the densest of America between British ports on the Atlantic and Pacific (keana Canada has now nearly 2,000 miles of railway comple_t•d, and I have no doubt that that will shortly be extended via New Brunswick to Halifax. and then by making available the lakes sad rivers of the west, and adding cheap and may roads, we shall be able for eight months in the year, and soon afterwards for the whole year round, to cross the con tend in 15 days. That accomplished. and there is no rea son why the whole correspondence of the great East and Europe should not pass exclusively over this new American route, and still less is there any impediment to the imme diate construction of the electric telegraph, by which ons tage& to China, Japan, Sandwich Island, New Zealand, and Australia, could be forwarded more rapidly than by any other route. la it too much to claim for Great Britain the use of her own territory for the purposes of the world's correspondence The United States, in the midst of civil war, an constructing ocean and continental telegraphs in concert with Russia, and it may be that the young republic of the new world, and the old despotism of Europe, may yet join hands to circle the globe with the electric wins, while we of the British empire are looking on and talking of its cost. (Hear, hear.) Shall we allow our vast terri tories to remain unknown and unoccupied, while our neigh bours are opening up Canal*, making 'Minute, and getting telegraphs, in order to secure that western trade now measured by millions of bushels, and which, by a little forethought and proper manage an .g 7. be made to pas. through our own Unds bee a road to the East wit Egypt ; long may it remain free and open. There is also a way to the Pacific vie Panama, beneficial to the commerce of mankind, sod espe cially so to the monopolists who posse" it. But the vea -1 ing of a route for the transmission of information and for the travel of roan from the Atlantic to the Pacific through our own territory would be the foundation of similar pro vinces to those of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Columbia, filling up the continent of America, and making a belt of British yeomen for the maintenance of right, safe from attack, powerful for defence, and the best and surest customers that this country Gould ever have, of 2,000 miles in length. It is to the consideration of these grave questions that I desire to call your attention. Physical difficulties there are none, they cannot be said to exist. For this fact I refer oit to Palliser and the despatches of Governor Nature ha been in advance of engineering sebum British population of Canada and the maritime provinces to the eastward, and British Columbia and Vancouver to the westward, wish to shake hands and unite hearts, energies, sad purees in building up a nation that shall add honour to the British Islands, and where their poor labourers and citizens may find homes and inde pendence in every period of idleness or diaries ; and by the establishment of which, more than by aught else, will the power and trade of the empire be enhanced, and with that increase an augmentation of the happiness awl elevation of mankind. After a few further remarks the hon. gentleman returned kismet. The CHAIRMAN, thought the meeting ought to fool deeply halsbtedto Mr. Cameros tot his admirable address. Mr. MYCLUitz then pee the meeting a representation of the present state of Vancouver's Island. Mr. Gums observed that the importance of the colony was well known, but denied that it was a proper field for emigration, se the country was barren of pan Co►ernaseot would never assist the colonists in making the railroad. Mr. ELLIOT thought that proper emigrants ought to he ant out at the public expense, and the price of the passage lowered. - 211;.111•Kisrzta considered that the want of camels might be supplied by &railway from Canada, where the farmers were compkiniag of bad prices, to Columbia, where there was plenty of gold, but no corn. A vote of thanks was then paned to Mr. Cameron and Mr. M'Clure, and a resolution adopted expressive of the views of the meeting in regard to the importance of Britiah Columbia, and the proceediop terminated. • liberal busy should ha given for the ant five years to all persons who might successfully grow ootue and ship it to England in large qualities in good condition. Subse quently free grants of lead were offered to cotton cultiva tors. After nearly two))dun the experiment had proved most successful. lotwiihdandug the want of competent managers, or of experience in the difficulties of cottos cul ture, Queensland had nest home what bad been processed in Manchester to be reedy good maniples, and would soon be able to mood cotters in quantities of similar quality. (Loud applause.) Previcemly, the colony had been almost exclusively engaged in wool-grow ing, the profita of which in Australia were so great, _that unless cotton growing was very numerative it could not be expected to command attendee. He was, therefore, much gratified in being able to say that cotton had proved thoroughly profitable in Queessland. It had been dis tinctly proved that flea Island cotton could be pro dozed to the extent of 400 lbs. (clean) to the acre. One English hand could undertake four or five urea and, assuming only the ridiculously low price of Is. • pound, there would be about 1001. • year as the result of each labourer's work. The plant was also shown to be eminently hardy, and suited to the climate of Queensland. He illustrated this point by describing the adverse circumstances under which cotton had been grown on the Cabulture plantation, in which he was himself interested. It sustained the anocemive ravages of a de structive grub, an unusually heavy hail-storm, and • flood through want of drainage. The advicesfrom Queensland by the last mail were excellent, giving evidence that after • lug drought which had proved fatal to moat other agricul tural produce, thecotion crop waslookiag healthy and well. The growth of option would not in any way interfere with that of wool in Queensland. Sheep would not thrive in the cotton lands, which were chiefly on the seaboard, • strip of land about 60 miles in width. co the banks ci the navigable rivers, the shores of harbours. The river Brisbane district, the river Mary and, perhaps, more particularly the river Fiteroy, Koppel Bay, about the tropic, Port Deniban, Edgeownhe Bay, to the northward, all contained vast tracts suitable for costar growiog and unsuitable for wool growing. It was proved also that cotton could be grown oe almost all the scab et the colony. The cotton lately sold at 2s. 60. was grown at Ipswich, on bard limestone soil, which would produce even better cotton next year. Cotton bad also been grown on • tenacious red clay, which became almost aa hard as brick in the summer. He had seen cotton pleats bowleg pods and flowers on that bard soil, with great luxuriance. The light sandy alluvial soils of river banks and the dark loamy alluvial soils had also produced cotton prouonnoul in England to be very good. With regard to the quantity of exports and the prospect of increase, he could only say, as the matter had so far been an expen d meet, that now it bad resulted favourably there was • sign of much greater cultivation of cotton. Money could be in vested in almost any operation or pursuit in Queensland, and generally in Australia, at the rate of about 10 per cent. or very much over it, and all these fields for investment being open, it had been no matter of surprise that hitherto attention h ad not been very soddenly turned to the growth of cotton. It would be more culti vated after the favourable experiment of the last year or two, because the farmers' occupation in Queensland had , been one of much vicissitude ; und if he now put • M4lO number of acres under co.ton, growing be would be able to tide over any adverse season that might befal him. New Orleans cotton had been produced to the extent of six or seven hundred pounds to the acre at the very least. By the same calculation as be had made when speaking of Sea Island coact, this would be seen to be fully remunerative. He had always exhorted colonists to go freely into coin* growing, and he thought they would do so, because if the worst happened, and cotton became too cheap in E.g. lead, they would still have their land in good order for any other crop, and the increase of population would enable them to make • good business out of any other agriculture. There were no very large plantations at present, but he felt confident it must he remunerative for gentlemen largely in terested in the cotton trade to have • plantation there of their own, whence they could ship to the English market. As there was not much capital afloat in the °elegy there was an immense field open to English capital. He had bees much pleased with Mr. Ashworth's reference to the circurn- Meows that the Australian colonies were determined to be independent and self-supporting. They were extremely desirous to be English as long as England would allow theta to be appended to her. At the same time the Australians would never want this country to pay my of her expenses. =atadbad sever cut England a shilling, except the day for its army of twenty-five soldiers. (Hear.) If the colonists had occasion for more, they should propose to pay for them themselves. They paid at present for police protection • larger sum per head than Englishmen paid for all the army, navy, and police of England. In conclusion, Mr. Herbert spoke of the healthiness of the climate of Queensland (the Australian tropical climate being no more injurious to the English constitution than the climate of England on • summer day), and the probable introduction of 000 lie labour from India. This was objected to in the southern part of the colony ; but in the north, no doubt, it would be had without the slightest opposition. (The hos gentleman sat down amidst applause.) Sir CHABLIS NICHOLBON Said that he was not very MD. guine us to the likelihood of raising any eel/ large quan tity of cotton of the cheaper kinds by means of European labour only. While the present high prices existed, while the cultivation was encouraged by the local legislature giving bounties of sd. on the inferior and 10d. on the superior kinds of cotton, and while an incentive was found in the free grants of land, no doubt the cultivation could be carried in by means of European labour; but in the tropical districts, at least, recourse must be had to Asiatic labour. The cotton plant in Queensland became (which it did not in America) perennial, and when come planted it would grow for six or seven years without re newaL The absence of late frosts on the wads was the cause of the plant saturnine • perennial character. In some districts there were tracts of land naturally cleared, being only covered with • rich grass, which could be easily bunted. The whole question was one of labour. Aus- Julie— as none who knew it could doubt—was capable of producing cotton to any amount; in the north-eastern parts this capacity was unlimited. But while labour varied from five to fifteen shillings per day it was vain to that cotton could ever be produced in very large qua= by European labour. The great object of those interested in the cultivation should be to encourage emigration from Eogland. (Hear, hear.) He regretted to find that there was a disposition on the part of some influential men to dis courage emigration to the colonies. He earnestly urged all Interested in the matter to stimulate by every possible means the emigration of the labouring dams to Queensland. (Hem.) The introduction ci coolies, especially into the northern settlements of that colony, was a matter of vital importance, although there was • party there who, from some selfish or prejudiced motive, objected to the introduction of the Asiatic, or any coloured race. He believed the introduction of coolie labour was indispensable to the proper sad full development of the country's resource• It win most unfair and injot.oas to group Corfu, the lonian Islands, Gibraltar, and Malta, with snob colonies as Queensland. (Hear, hear.) The Australian colonies, if the proposition were made in • proper form, were quite willing to defray the whole of their expenditure, military and civil. (Applause.) Some of those colonies were still suffering from ban Mg been for so many years the receptacles of British convicts, who had migrated from Van Dismee's Lend and other places, and who had thus swelled the police expenditure. The whole of the expenses of the civil administration was defrayed out of the colonial fueda. The increase of population was unparalleled in the history of coloniaatioe, as was also the rate of wool precludes. In 1804, the first specimen of wool—about 70110.—was sent over to England. Within 40years the number of sheep had accumuleted to 11,000,C00, and the export of wool amounted to 22,060,00011 m When the last statistical returns were made, the gross uurni of the whole of the. Australian colonies was 80,000.0001. ste rile& while the gems amount of the imports was 26,000.0001. sterling. The revenue of Queensland had increased during Mr. Herbert's secretaryship, from 80,0001. a year to 400,0001. (Applause.) Mr. T. Itam.cr, 31. P., in proposing • vote of thanks to the two gentlemen who bad addressed the chamber, said that he had no doubt the profits mentioned as being likely to accrue from cotton cultivation in Queensland were below the minimum. The English manufacturers bad • double reason for encouraging the production of cotton in the Aus tralian possessions, because • new market was being created for our own markets, while we were at the same time im porting the raw material. He did not participate in the alarm felt by some because our people were asnigratiug to the colonies. Why should there not be • division in the current of emigration, and why should pot the British colo nies, and Australia in particular, have theadvantsge? (Hear.) Mr. J. CHKETBAN seconde d the motion, and norm meaded the employment of Indian or Chimes labour in Queensland. He mid that the administrators of that country preempted • bright contrast to the apathy, neglect, and even hostility of the administrators of India, who scented to have no other work than from the House of Com moos and their own private rooms in the Council-office to abuse those men from whom they derived those salukis for which they gave • most inadequate ream.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JAB. 21. Wage the Judge Ordinary.) GIPPS V. GIPPS AND IDDIZ.-11DIG0LA1 cul. Mr. Serjeant Pigott and Dr. Spicks for the petitioner ; Dr. Tristram for the respondent ; the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Lopez for the co-respondent. The suit was brought by Mr. August= Pemberton Gipps, secretary to the Patent Department of the South Kensiog toe Museum. He became acquainted with Miss Cruikalank, the daughter of a captain in the lodian service, now de ceased, and he mained her on the 15th of October, 1851. The marriage was described as one of affectioe, mid as ose in every respect likely to turn out happily. At first they went to live with the bride's mother (thee Mrs. Taynton), in Cadogan-place Chalice ; and they afterwards re sided in Elendordequare. A child was born in the month of July, 1852. A temporary separation took piece, but the parties came together apin, and in February, 1834, the respondent finding herself again pregnant wrote to her husband begging him seriously to consider the pro priety of an amicable permanent separation. She said, "There is neither love nor respect between us. Heel that my having no affection for you may be a great cause of our present misery ; for I know that you had affection for me, and no doubt it would have continued if I had returned it." Mr. Gipps went to America, and on his return in 1816 he found that a vetoed child bad been born to him. After this he heard that his wife had become acquainted with Mr. William Wentworth Fitawilliam Hume, M.P. fur Wicklow. The circumstance excited no suspicion in his mind till ono day the respondent asked him to give a letter to her mother. That letter he fouled contained an enclosure fur the co-respondent. A suit for a divorce was subsequently commenced. No damages were claimed, but Mr. subsequ ently placed in the hands of a mutual acquaintance, Mr. Hidliwell, a sum of 3,ocaz. to abide the result of the cause. Eventually an undertaking was entered into by which the co-respondent to pay the petitioner a further sum of 4,000 f.; and at ret w rtal in June, 1861, no evidence was offered. A ver dict was, therefore, taken for the reepondenta. A lengthened Dego- Mahon followed with regard to the terms of separation, and Mr. Hume, asserting that the arrasgemest had not been car ried out, refused to pay over the 4,000 i. Mr. Gipps thereupon filed a bill in Chancery to compel Mr. Heine to fulfil his under. taking; buttheVies Chanallerrsjected the application on the ground that it would be • fraud upon the Divorce Court, which alone bad a right to distribute damages. The present suit was then brought for adultery committed between August, 1861, and May, 1862. The pleas in the defence consisted of a denial, coupled with allegations of collusion. connivance, and misconduct 000ducing to adultery. Mr. Wm. Tait, a 'elicitor, in Herefordaquare, proved the marriage. Visited them afterwards. Croes-examined—Saw them come out of the church but was not actually present at the marriage. They lived very happily together so far as witneas could see. Thought Mr. Gipps ridiculously food of his wife. Mr. F. Seymour Haden, of 62, Sloaneetreet, surgeon, proved the confinement of Mrs. Gipps, of twirls, in Charles street, Berkeley-square, on the 4th of May Mat. Met Mr. Hume once paining out of her room. That was two or three months before her confinement, and she was then living at 58, Maddox-street, Bond-street. Thought that the gentle man witness saw was Mr. Hume became witness supposed that he was the most likely person to be there. Mrs. Gipps herself paid witness. Knew by common report that she was living apart from her husband. Amelia Haddon—l was chambermaid at the Bee-hive, Bexhill, in August, 1861. On Saturday, the 3rd of that month, a lady cants and took apartments there. She said her husband would come the next day. Accordingly, on Sunday, a gentleman came and stayed with her till Tuesday. They occupied a sitting-room and a bedroom, and they left itigt. I have siDCO been with Mr. Baskerville to a house er lesetrest, Berkeley -square, where I saw the lady. 1 also west with Mr. Malcolm to No. 20, Curecieetreet, May , fair, and I saw the gentleman coming out of the house. Edward Creamy, ostler at the Bee-hive—l recollect a lady coming to the house in August last on a Saturday. A petlemaa joined her on the following day. I took these out a baiting. (Laughter.) I have not seen either also., but I am speaking of the same permits is the last witness. John Beskerville— I am a reessmiger at the Patent Ike. pertinent, South Kensington. I know both the parties. I al= letters from Mr. Gipps to the respoodent. I accompanied Amelia Haddon to Churls-street, and we saw Mrs. Gipps there. Jane I live at No. 40, Old Pyeetreet, West minster. I lave been crossing-sweeper . OPPOSA. 20, Curzon street for two years and neves weeks. 'Mr Loom " lives at No. 20. I have heard him called by his name by the "quality" who came there. 1 remember the witness Haddon going to the house. Some man was with her, and when Mr. Lorm came out they took to their heels and ran away as fast as they could. (laughter.) Mr. Lorm got into a carriage, or it might be a brougham. Amelia Francis-1 have bean lady's maid to Mrs. Gipps slpce July, 1861. At that time she lived in Somer's-plam, but she afterwards went to Paris for a few days, and thews to Switzerland. We ultimately returned to Pans sad Loam. I know Mr. Home. I saw him in Switzerland. He stayed at every hotel we stopped at. When we reached London, we went to Somer's-plea for a short time, and then we went for a fortnight to the Southwiek Hotel. Next we went to a country house, called Moncton Farley, Dear Bath. I believe it belongs to Mr. Hume. He at all events was there. His town house is No. 20, Curzon. street. We spent three weeks at Brighton, and thee we went to Maddox-street, where we stayed the whole of last winter. Mr. Hume came very often, sometimes every cloy. He dined there, and he would stay till eleven, 1.0111011111.111 later. We went to the Crystal Palace Hotel for three weeks. Mr. Home came there once, and stayed all night. We went to Charles-street on the 10th of March, about two weeks before Mm Gippe was confined. Mr. Haden attended her; and Mr. Home paid her visits. No other gentlemen 1:4010 to see her. His carriage would sometimes come to the door ; the children went out in it. Cross-examined—Never saw Mr. Gippi till I saw him in court to-day. Mrs. Gipps knowathat I have come hers to-day. She did not tell me to come. She told me not to do so ; for she said her lawyer had informed her that the cause would not taken to-day. I came became I was fetched. The moment I received the subpoena, I ran upstairs and showed it to her. I told her that I did not want to come, but she said I must of coarse, and she told me to speak the truth. John Beakerville, recalled, proved the handwriting of various letters of the respondent. The one to Mr. Hume intercepted by the plaintiff was as follows : " My own dearost,—l only write you a few linee in an swer to your letters received yesterday, the one written for Mr. N—, the other for Mr. F—. Do not worry about me. T shell soon be all right, end I am much better. I cannot help being trsate at not seeing you, but when I can I shall soon be myself again. Do think and arrange with mamma about getting me away from here. P. G. says I shell not go. Of oourse I know if I choose to go I can, but then it makes him my army—at least I suppose it would. If the doctor or anyone would only my I ought! The doctor attending me ma I might not to move out for a month, and then go to a very cold bracing air. Imeock told me Nice would suit me admirably, but you see the man who is attending IN now IS P. O.'s doctor, and of course he would my what he was told. How I wish we were all otf out of the way. He is so happy and delighted at seeing me so powerless that no one would feel inclined to pity him. I will write again to-day after receiving the letter which you base writtes, through mamma. Gad Wee you, dearest. Your poor little pet, E.t.a." Mr. Evans, the laW adviser et the plointiff, explained the steps which had been taken with regard to the pre seatation of the lint petition, the lodging of the 3,Ulltif. with Mr. Halltwell, and the easement omission of any claim fee damages. The proceedings went cm regularly up to the time of the burin. On the morning of the trial Mr. Oippe and Mr. %Wilma came to me and brought me • lksemost containing terms for a compromise. Mr. Gipps antliorind me to coosoot to it, but be objected to one pan- Ctes the ground that be could not allow Mr. Hume to o terms for a esparatia. Afterwards saw Mr. Ade, Mr. flume's solicitor, at the Yacht Club, Albemarle-street. I gloated to the words, and Ms. Ade struck them out. Mr. Ads wished the record to be withiltawa. Told him that that might not whale be pnistioable, but if so no evidenes Ingrid be gives. The minion to withdrew the re cord wee esjiisted is nom gases of Mrs. Gipps's one el ob jecting. When the came was milled on • jury wee I swam bat no evidence woe offered, and the verdict was entered for the respondent. I also bad an interview with Messrs. White, Broughton, and White, the solicitors al lite. Gipps, who would not courses to the withdrawal af. the record wept on the fol lowing terms : an allowance of 1604 • year, mere to the children or the custody of one d Yam, sad the surrender d the respondent's letters.

Mr. Ado said that I had not complied with the .poem rat, and bad not withdrawn the record. That was the ally reason given for not executing the bend. After wards filed • bill for 'gam performance ; but it was de murred to, arid Sir W. e Wood allowed the demurrer. Croswessmined—Mr. Gippi told winner that he had not known Mr. Halliwell so long as Mr. Halliwell bad known the respondent. Mr. Halliwell did not know hits par ticularly welL Mr. Gipps had received the 3,0001. in two sums of 6001. and 2,4001. All the money had hen paid before the agreement was signed. He had never given back any portion of it, but prooeslinge had ben com menced for its recovery before the present petition' was signed. Nothing had - been done beyond the issuing of the writ. The bond was for the payment of 4,0001. on the death of Mr. Home's mother, and the payment of interest on that sum in the meantime. Mr. Gipps told witness that be once saw his wife in Charles-street—that win April, 1862. He did sot know where she was till the end of October, 1861, when a detective found her at the South- wick Hotel. Re.examised—llir. Gipps went to the house in Charles. street for the purpose of aseertainiog whether it was true that his wife was pregnant. He stated that the interview was not at all a frisedly owe. This being the petitioner's owe, the court adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JAN. 21. Wore Mr. C'elMillliooll. Ho kart.) IN RN HIILIT, THOBOOOD, LID LUNLIT. The bankrupts were hop merohm;ta, of the Borough, and of Ashford, in Kent. This was the sitting for considering the order of discharge.

Honey, Hum phcya. and Honey, the appointed manage' of the estate) about 2,7001., with a father amount of ,1 3001. expected. Hie Honour said he wee disposed to take a lenient ODOM, considering all the circumstances of the can. The worst feature wee the 000tracting of debts at so late a period ; but there was not sufficient to justify the court in saying that they had been contracted without a reasonable probability of payment. The bankrupts might have gone on too tong; but looking to their youth, the promptitude with which they bad placed themselves in the hands of their creditors, lied the fist that they had succeeded to • business of 90 years' standing, they might receive their orders of discharge. IN El BENJAMIE LIIIILZT.—HER mAnen's THEATRE. The bankrupt was late lames of Her Majesty's Theatre. This was the adjourned sitting for examination and dis charge. At the laat sitting the bankrupt was ordered to file • cull and deficiency account.

CLEBXENWKLL. Clarks Daniels, • photographer, d 1, Penton-plaos, Pentonville, appeared in answer to two summoners. nadir the new act, charging him with selling 'purloin copies et photographs. Mr. Barker, after hearing the evidence addneed, fined the defendant 31. A. 6d. and costs in each case, and inti mated that he might appeal, if he felt disposed, against this decision. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Alice Goddard, alias Taylor, a well-known virago, living at No 8, St. Ann's-court, Soho. was charged with violently assaulting Agnes Hamilton, and inflicting serious woun ds about her face with a drinking-glass. The complainant, whose face was sadly disfigured, said that while in the Portland Area. Great Portland-street, the previous morning, about oo o'clock, the defendant came in and asked her to have some brandy and water, at the same time handing her the glass. She pretended to drink, but did not, and handed her back the glass, at the same time thanking her. The defendant then lbegan quarrelling with her about a young Tan, and struck her two violent blows in the face with the glass, breaking it and inflicting the wounds on her face, and covering her with blood. A COD. stable arriving, she (complainant) was taken to the Middle sex Hospital, where the wounds were dressed, and the defendant was taken into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant was a little savage, and committed her for two month, with hard labour. John Tobin, of 6, White Hart-court, Tottenham-court road, was next charged with assaulting, with a hammer, John Mahooy, his next door neighbour. Complainant said, there being a noise in the court, he went down to me the cause, when amen whom he had given evidence spinet in a case of assault struck him • blow with his fist, and the prisoner then struck him a violent blow on the top of his head with • large hummer. He became insensible from the effects of the blow, and was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where his head was dressed by the surgeon. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You bad not got a nice little stick in your hand at the time, had you? Complainantoh, ;o. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had there not been a regular shindy going on in the avert! Complainant—There wee a little dtstarbance. A constable said he maw the prisoner stnke the com plainant on the bead with the h►mmer, but he did not see complainant strike any one. Mr. Tyrwbitt said it was impossible to say what might be the effect of the wound the complainant had received, and be should therefore remand the prisoner for a week. MARYLEBONE.

Mr. L. Lewis, Ely-plaoe, attended for Cooper. Prosecutor deposed that Harding had been in hie 'orrice as footman about a mouth, and absooaded soon after nine on the night of Wednesday last. Soon after his departure Mrs. Bainbridge discovered that her jewel case, containing bracelets, chains, rings, three gold watches, and numerous other costly articles of bijouterie, he., had been taken away. He (prosecutor) immediately gave intimation of the robbery to the police. Sergeant White. 16 D, said that when he, with another constable, Isaacson, a pre Cooper, the latter tried to make his escape, but Ira ao oeon prevented it, upon which Cooper drew from his pocket a bracelet and threw it to the upper end of the room.

Witness seeing the perilous cot dition in which his brother officer was placed, drew his staff, telling Cooper that if he did not leave go he must lay his head open.

Herbert, secretary to the governmest of Queensland. The meeting took place in the mayor's puiour at the Man. chaster Town-hall. The litatoa presided, sad there were result Sir C. Nicholson, Mr. Ihuley, M.P.. Mr. H. Ashworth, Mr. J. Cheethem, Idr. Blau, Mr. T. Mosley, Mr. M. Ham, Mr. H. Haws, tic. T. Ceunntan stated that the object of the meeting wee to take assets(' of the presence of the Hoe. Mr. Herbert ti Msseheater to present an address to the government d Qeseeshod. Mr. Fuson, the secretary, then read the following &dame to Mr. Herbert : . To his Exosllency the Honourable Sir None Bowen, Governor of Queensland. " May it please your Exeellency,—We, the members of the Manchester Chamber of Commons, in special H e meeting amenabled, avail ourselves of the presenceof the Hon. IL G. Herbert, government secretary, whom we this day welcome amongst us, to convey to you the expression of our great satiefectioa at the rapid progress which the important inlay of Queensland is now =kiss in thedevelopment of ha apiculture' sod commercial monies' ; and we observe with spend interest the great success which has attended the cultivation of the cotton plant, for which the soil and the climate of the colony appear to be peculiarly adapted. At no other period could the visitor to Liussehire be more strikiugly impressed with the value of that most important inateriaL He finds the manufactures of this ones busy dis trict paralysed and perplexed by the cessation of those applies which it has long been accustomed to receive from America, and the community at large looking anxiously for some new quarter from whence suitable cotton may be ob tained. Mr. Herbert will therefore be enabled to inform you, with the authority of an eve-witness, how great • sower of wealth appears to present itself to the people of Queenslerid, should they devote their energise to the exten sion aedpmprovement of cotton cultivation. The members of this chamber have seen with no small 'Amalie, how faithfully your government has adhered to the liberal policy of the motheroountry, and they rejoice in the spread of her free institution, to that remote dependency over which you preside, destined, as they Lope, to • career of great and pro gressive prosperity.—For and on behalf of the Chamber, ..HFSCRY ASHWORTH, President." Mr. H. Atiswotern, the president of the chamber, said that upon an occasion of (litter, ouch as that which affected the district, it was both desirable and recommendable that ear ery opportunity should be seised whereby the increased cultivation of cotton could be encouraged, whether in oar own colonies, or in any other part of the world. When any one approached the subject of our colonial empire, it would be remembered that it involved an expenditure of some fearer lee minims a year, sad was very often full of dis appointed hopes and expectations. In fact, the time bad now arrived when we bad thought it proper to get rid of some of oar dependencies, namely, the lonian Islands. And probably for the same reason that commercial people were accustomed to place a balance-sheet against their own affairs, we had begun to think it would be jolt as well were we to hold that commercial plummet against some of our colonies. Our colonial system had beep so long neglected that it required to be taken into better management. (Hear, bear.) It was really quite re freshing to see that colonies might be managed not only for our own advantage but for the welfare of the colonists, and more particularly our owe countrymen, who were desirous to possess property and station in i.ome distant country. The Australian colonies hail been hitherto the most success. ful and inexpensive. Queensland was the youngest of our colonies, being only three years old. The population had rapidly iacressed, their work. and cultivation were equally prosperous, and cotton had been produced equal to the best specimens of American cotton. (Hear, bear.) It was not unreasonable, therefore, to bold ant anything abort of protection to enable the colonist, to awry out with ewe ems that which was already so well begun. (Haar, bear.) Ma HEMBERT, in response, mid it weals* very satisfac- tory to Sir G. !lowan and the people of Queensland to penes the address. There was no English community with which the colonists more syropathiaed than with the business men of the seats of manufacture. The colonists felt that they were better understood among that class than among pence. less immediately oceoucted with the every day business of life. Since Queensland was es tablislied three years ego es a colony separate from its parent, New South Wales, it bad owed much to the notion takes of its capabilities by Mr. Bailey and this chamber ; there hod hue as emigration of mechanics and others, and as Mee/trout of capital in Queensland, which would lay the foundation of prosperity to the set tler, and an extensive trade with England. He (Mr. Herbert) bad no very correct data at his disposal with re spect to the condition of cotton growing in Queenaluel. About three yen ago cotes culture was pressed en the attention of the colonists partly IT the reprosentatious of commercial bodies in England, arid pertly because agricultural farming bad not thriven, aid • new staple of eultivatioo was desired. Pre vious experiment had destosseted the superior suitability of cotton in this respect, and it hocesee the duty of the government to try to foster its growth. It was hoped tins to raise up an inteemediate class between the large capi talists and the working men—a yeoman else. on which the stability of the coney must evestuelly depend, supposing that class could be created. The government, in twvillitl the land laws of the colony, melt provision whereby • THAMES. William Sarille, alias Savage, s well-known and despe rate thief, about twenty years of age, was brought up in remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Edward Pearce, • respect able youth, residing in King-street, Tower-hill. On the afternoon of the 13th instant the prosecutor was deeding among a cluster of people assembled on Tower hill around a " hankey-pankey " man disposing of sense antrum, when the poisoner seized his watch, twisted the ring from it, and was about running away, when the lad seised him and called for help, which was at once rendered by a man named Bilbrook, who had been watching the operations of the prisouer and his attempts to rob people for hell an hour. The prisoner was secured, sad be !dropped the watch at the proeecutor'a feet. It was recovered. Police-coustable, 132 11 , said the prisoner had been twice summarily warmed of felony, and on each occasion was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and bard labour. On another ouoasioa the prisoner was summarily cotvicted at the Wonhip-street polies court, and sentenced to two mouths' imprisonment and hard ldJour. A poliueniau of the 111 division had informed wittier he had a conviction against the prisoner. The father of the preeeentor said he wished the magis trate tedium** of the case summarily, and be did not wish his ecu to be wasting his time any looser.
