Kendall) convened the electors of She western division of Cornwall, at Truro, Er the purpose of electing two members to represent the constituency in parliament The proceedings commenced at is o'clock iii the Market-house.—Mr. H. Williams pro posed Mr. E. W. W. Pendarves as their representative, which he had been for the last twenty-one years. Mr. Ennis seconded the nomination. — Mr. Gilbert proposed Sir C. Lemon so their member, an office which he had admirably filled for fifteen years. Mr. M. Williams briefly seconded the nomination of Sir C. Lemon.—The sheriff demanded if any elector had any other candidate to propose, and on his receiving no reply declared the hon. gentlemen duly elected so knights of the shire. Mr. PENDARVES tendered his warmest thanks for their ?mewed confidence. He had now represented the county for twenty-ore years, and the period that had elapsed since his first election had bin tri p g unant with as great measures as had for a century e public attention. He had had the satisfaction to assist in passing the liberal measures to which he had alluded. He admitted that many of import ance sod magnitude were likely to engage the attention of parliament daring the next session, winch, front press of circumstances, were dropped by the last parliament, espe cially in relation to Ireland. With regard to the future, he should look neither to the right nor to the left, but pursue a sandy mune ; the measures of which he approved he would suppmt, and those which he conceived to be contrary to the wdl-being dills people ehould receive his decided opposi tion. He had never neglected his duty, either in the House of Commons or in county matters, or in bringing their local again before the different governments. (Cheers. ) Sir Co ISLES Lesos thought that SO many changes in men and manners had occurred in the last 12 months, that it might be necessary for him to explain himself on the pre sent occasion ; at the same ti-ne he did not think himself free tram inconsistency. The mighty changes had taken him by surprise, although persons with political perception for some time before might have foreseen that the horizon indicated a movement For himself, he was cot surprised at the tri umph of free trade principles; his expectation had always been that Sir Robert Peel's corn law was merely an experi sanitary enactment The scale which Sir Robert Peel had proposed was too high to be permanent, and no doubt they bad noticed that, when pressed on the point, Sir Roberts ' reply had been that he had not resolved to alter the corn laws at that time, but that he had it in his view there could be no doubt. The following year the change in the law took place. He did not think it advisabk to meet the change in any other way than by seeking arteasspamsatfisa as the landlords. Peculiar burdens rested on lend, as shows by certain returns made to the House of Lords on the unequal hardens by taxation which the land had to bear, with which he agreed in the general inference—namely, that some compensation should be made. He might be asked, " Why he had supported the free trade system as to corn ?" He required the electors to look back to the rise and spread of the Corn-law League—that it had in 1845 spread itself all over the land. Yes, it was what it had been called, " a great fact," it consisted of a body of men in a perfect state of organisation, and openly threatened revolution. About the same time, Lord Morpeth appeared upon the hustings in Yorkshire, and avowedly professed the doctrines of the League (and it was a remarkable fact that the same Riding had been the theatre for the declaration of reform in the representation by Lord Brougham, before the pass ing of that great measure). In the meantime, leading men of different shades of political opir ion joined the mighty phalanx. Then came Lori Russell's letter to the people of London, on the necessity for adopting the aboli tion of the corn laws. The question then came, was he to struggle againn such a current of public opinion, which would be indeed in vain, or to seek for compensation ? He preferred the latter course. The dangerous organisation of the League could not be contended with ; yet he must say it kept faith honourably in its dissolution—its death wee worthy of a better life. A belief existed among politicians that the compensation to be arranged will be, that the amount of poor-rate assessments on land well be divided, • moiety being placed on the Consolidated Fund, and the other being borne by the land ; the administration of the poor-law funds and matters remaining in local hands as at present. His votes had been towards the maintenance of peam, and he thought, in reference modally to Lord Ash barters' s treaty, that a sacrifice should be made, if it could be done with honour, to avoid collision and war with foreign countries. His opinion on the Maynooth grant was, that neither is principle nor in policy was that measure wrong. If it was wrong in principle to vote a large sum, it was equally fallacious to vote the smaller rum. The hon. gentle man then referred to the waistlines which he had given to the Electors' Registration Compensation Bill, and to other men- MN of a local nature to which he had given his support ; and, finally, in reply to a question on the game laws being proposed to him, he said that the game laws must undergo a vely considerable alteration, but what that alterttlon would be he could not say. The members seyerallyexpreased their thanks to the sheriff for g the occamon, which terminated the business of =1 on ;7 CORK. --- The returning caper bas not yet declared the sitting can didates. He sees resolved to take no cognisance of Mr. Page's resiipmtion, it not being competent for him to re nip et a time when he was at the heed of the poll. The mar vas, by the lest account, still engaged in a scrutiny vette. CLARE (COUNTY). The nomination took piece on Monday. Ma'or Miens, mare was proposed by Mr. Austen Butler, seco by Mr. Richard Stockpoole ; Mr. C. O'Brien was proposed by Rev. Mr. Sheehan, seconded by Mr. O'Loghlen ; Sir Lucius O'Brien wee proposed by the Rev. Daniel Corbett, P.P., resided by Mr. Crofton Moore Vsndideur. The polling was expected to be extremely sharp. Already a fracas had taken place. Mr. Pierce Creech, the legal adviser of Sir Lucius O'Brien, told Mr. C. O'Brien " he lied," on which the hon. candidate retorted by a blow of a stick on Mr. Creegh's pate. The affair has not since gone farther. DUMBARTONS#IR. The polling com m enced --- Wifeine;cl;y morning at nine o'clock, and at its aloes at four o'clock there was a majority for Smollett of 242. There is mother day's polling ; but Mr. Smollett's ultimate soccer is certain. The surprise is, that Mr. Robertson, being an entire stranger in the district has met with so much support. It is understood that many additional voters would bare polled for him, but from being bound by local ties to the late member. KERRY. Kona J.

Among the most intelligent, active, and economical grand juries in Ireland may be ranked the grand jury of Kerry. That body, including -Mr. Herbert, M.P., and Mr. Pierce Mahony, has just published en elabo rate and instructive report on the financial state of that important county, which contains some very Ta leak information, and exhibits the progressive spirit esirleined by the landed proprietors of Kerry in &wow of their tenantry. The report states that since 1834 the sum of 141,3211. has been expended on ark and public works, and the remit has fully jus did the most sanguine expectations of their pro sodies, inasmuch as the public communications of tie county have increased in thirteen years from 520 in 1,373 miles. For the oonstruction of these works ,the Board of Public Works afforded in loans and pants in aid 119,0001., and the landed 'proprietors $411,0001. Of the mins advanced by the board there is now due the trifling balance of 13,7431., while the balance due by the treasury to the Killarney and Take savings banks exceeds 90,0001. Under the Labour-rate Act the sum of 242,1001. has been expended, of which one. half is to be repaid, sad adding damages for lands, estimated at 30,0001., the total charge on lands is 151,0341. By a series of minute calculations, the report finds that, inclusive of instalments, county ease poor rate at 2s. in the pound, the total sums to be levied before March, 1848, will be 77,6361., and for the rummer assizes of the same year, 45,6131., or a total of 123,2311., the net poor-law valuation being 348,6931. As a relief against this eau drain, the committee look to the continuous employment of the able-bodied labourers on reproduc tiveworks, and suggest the completion of the roads under the Labour-rate Act, and extensive drainage works. As to the roads, they state that of 450 miles commenced may 80 are available, which, instead of costing 242,0001., should have been executed for 187,3001., including damages for land. Thus the total loss through the relief system, independent of staff, in struments, &c. is set down at 157,4611.! A series of resolutions fo unded on the ',port was adopted, of which one dooms to be gusted in extenso. That we an of spoke Oa lie Mild proprietor. of W.. minty Sheedd le. sway saelYe Is eve enact to the Landed Pro. surly 11161 at kg side. as Aare all, to adopt, as landlords, the 1 1 IW e e XII °lasimieml"likk"tork,thAmt * heir the tv , st st tilde n rip b r: . - vre .v =part i r Ike hammers, and thereby improve The relief oxamisedoners have issued an important circular to the inspecting officers. having been made to the commissioners against closing the temporary relief on Sunday next, on the three-fold grounds—first, that the harvest will not then be in fall operation ; secondly, the general want of means among the poor ; thirdly, the want of funds in the hands of poor-law guardians ; the circular, in reply, states that the actual state of the harvest in the pre cise locality should not be the only datum for discon tinuance, since the reduced price of food and the in creasing demand for labour must afford means of earning a subsistence. This is proved by referring to the light tests established in several places. The Relief Act having been passed solely to replace for one season the failure of the potato, it was to cease so soon u the crops of the ensuing season should come forward and provisions become more plentiful. This result having been attained, the guardians must take charge of the poverty of the country, but in some re mote districts relief may be continued, by special per mission, for limited periods. At the end of Sep tember all advances under the act must cease. Judge Ball, in his charge to the grand jury, gives a distressing picture of the social state of Mayo. " I find," said his lordship, " not fewer than 137 pri soners for trial, for crimes comprising every degree of guilt it is the lot of human frailty to be subject to — robbery, burglary, murder, larceny, and a crime novel to this country—piracy." This is a fearful condition, but not to be wondered at when we reflect that of the 137 prisoners nine only can read and write ! STATE or THE COVETILT.—The property of Mr. Carden, of Barnette, Tipperary, has been sgain this year the scene of disturbance. A few days since, a large body of men as sembled and cut and carried away 'five acres of oats grown on lands, the former tenantry of which had left them. A man named Stapleton was shot at near Nenagh a few nights since, and severely, but nolidangerously, wounded ; he was a land steward. SCOTLAND. EDINBUROIT, AUGUST 11. The Edinburgh inspector of cleaning has published a pamphlet on the obstructions afforded to his office, containing revelations of such visual and olfactory horrors that the council have to a man agreed that a sanitary bill for Edinburgh must at once be obtained. The pressure of the times is not acting with such force on the faculty of advocates, who have told the town council that, in their opinion, the time for building . Chalmers' hospital has not arrived. When that period will come it is very difficult to conjecture ; but as the bequest leaves it entirely in their hands, there is no remedy bat patience. Meanwhile there are other semi-medical topics of general interest that require to be mentioned. The first is the threatened action between the university and town council regarding a resolution of the latter body, issued by them as the patrons of the former, to the effect that attendance at a few of the extra academical classes in Edinburgh should, in common with the license allowed to similar classes in other medical schools, be allowed to count as part of the medical curriculum. The College of Surgeons is to make common cause with the council, and, if pushed, the c o ll ege may retaliate on the university by not recognising university attendance as qualifying for their surgical diploma. It would be very absurd were matters to come to such a cries ; but timely con cession appears at present to be the only method of preventing it, unless, indeed, a general medical bill be carried next session. Dr. Andrew Combe, brother of George Combs, and well known as a popular medical author, died in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh on Monday last. For several years the continuance of Dr. Combs's life has been almost miraculous. His complaint was in the lungs, the consumption of which induced such ex treme delicacy of frame that nothing but the most unremitting scientific treatment kept him alive _ _ Some interest has been excited by a game-law pro attention in Perth against some boys, at the Weems of the procurator-fiscal for that county, and oars• quently at the public expense; and as soak motions bays of late been brought forward at the In oir pinto parties, it has been suggested that, in the prime Mats of public opinion regarding tines laws, time Ham Secretary or the Lord Advocate &MI be espnisi not to make petty infringements an lam as saddest of crown prosecution. Scornful Scgeousiiernite.—Scotland has loeg enjoyed the advantages of national education. Every child, pal lig or girl, can demand instruction as a right. In the schools instruction is not confined to reading, writing, and arithmetic. Greek, Win, and French are taught. The Scottish schoolmaster undergoes a severe examiasiims before he is inducted into Aloe Many of them law been brought up in the universities, and ponces mead and comprehensive erudition.

Surely such a system demands the at • tandem of the legislature, and the active Interference of the Scottish representatives ; the more so, since the heriton may give the minimum stipend of only 101, we believe , and only provide two miserable rooms for the doodahs, even though he has a wife and children.

Tan LANDOIE VIADUCT.—The Cambrian says, This magnificent viaduct, which will be about half a mile in length, and upwards of sixty feet above the tidal level in height, was commenced on Monday last. The important work will connect the South Waite Railway a little above the Marta Copper Works, and, it is expected, will be am plated in about tan months' time. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. OREAT FIRE AT MANCIIESTEIL—AII awfully de structive fire broke out in Manchester on Wednesday even ing, in a block of buildings bounded by Market.street, New Brown-street, Pool-street, and Swan-lane. This pile con sisted of three chain In Market-street, and several ware houses and menufactoriee fronting, some of which ex tended over the shops in Market-street. The entire block of buildings was five stories above ground, and a cellar underneath was occupied as an sating-haus.. The firs was discovered about half-past seven o'clock, and though five fire-engines were quickly brought to the spot, it extended with such rapidity to the right and left, and down. wards as well as upwards (the flames being first discovered from the second story in Market-street, over the hatter's shop), that in "boat an hoar the whole pile was M a blaze, and there war no abuses of saving the property. Ultimately there was nothing but the bare walls of the buildings left standing. The engines sad firemen, though great exertions were used, were powerless value such a body of Hams, and it was with difficulty they could prevent the fire extending across New Brown-street and Swan-lane. Pool-lane is so narrow, that their exertions to stop the progress of the flames across it to the next block of buildings in Market-street were abortive, and a shop occupied by Mr. Hewitt, clothier, caught fire, and, with a number of offices over it, was destroyed. The adjoining building is partly occupied sa • bank by the well-known fi rm of Messrs. Canliffes and Brooks; and this was considered to be in such danger that all the book., papers, securities, money, /Lc., had to be removed in great haste. The upper story caught fire, in which the porter resides, and was destroyed, together with the roof; but the other portions of the build ing, in which are some warehouses, escaped with the damage only arising from the immense quantity of water thrown upon them. Up to the time ear express parcel left Manchester the exact amount of damage sustained was not known, but it was estimated at not less than 30,0001. The pile of buildings above described in which the fire broke out belongs to Mr. George Grirnsbzw, Goeton, and the loos is estimated at 5,0001., which is covered by insurance in the Manchester Fire-office to the extent of 4,0001. Mr. Smith's stock is damaged to the extent of 1,5001., the amount of insurance in the County Office. Messrs. Clerk and Co. sustain damage to the amount of 3501., to which amount they are insured in the West of England. Mr. James Redfern is insured in the Royal for 6501., which will about cover his loss. Mr. .1. B. Lee is insured in the Alliance for 500/., and in the North British for 2,0001. and his loss is estimated at nearly 3,0001. Messrs. Latrey will suffer to the amount of 6001., to which amount they were insured in the Imperial. Messrs. James Farrar and Brother suffer a loss not covered by an insurance to the amount of 300/. Mr. Thomas Haigh, woollen cloth manufacturer, esti mates his loss at nearly 5,0001. He is insured in the Sun for 2,0001. ; the Guardian for 1,0001.: and the Yorkshire for 1,600/. Mr. Robert H. Dawson estimates his linage at 5,0001., which is covered by insurance in the West of Eng land. Mr. Jas. Sharp, woollen cloth manufacturer, is in sured for 1,0001. in the Imperial Office, and suffers to about that amount. Mr. Henry Hewitt estimates his Ices at 3,5001., which is covered by insurances of 1,600/. in the Scot tish Union, and 2,0001. in the Birmingham Office. Messrs. Portent and Co., silk manufacturers, suffer to the extent of 2,0001., covered by insurance in the West of England to that amount. The loss of Mesas. Cunliffes and Brooks, to whom the building belongs in which Mr. Hewitt's and Messrs. Pollens and Co.'s shops were situated, is estimated at 1,5001. for the building. There are several parties who suffer to smaller amount'. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained. • DESTRUCTION •OF A PAPER-MILL BY FIRE.—On the night of Monday last, as one of the workmen in the paper-mill of Meter,. Nathaniel Grace and Co., at Soots wood, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, wu lighting the gas, the flame communicated with some rope, and quickly spread over the whole premises. The fabric of the mill being chiefly wood, and the dock of rope and paper highly com bustible, the whole was destroyed. The loss has bcen stated at 10,0001., and is partially insured. WORCESTERsHIRF- THE WORCESTER DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDCCA 'now held a special meeting in the Chapter-house on Mon day last, to consider the propriety of enlarging the basis of the training institution, so as to render it capable of receiving assistance from the committee of council. It would appear from the minutes that a considerable stun of money would be granted by the committee of council in aid of the build ing, and that the support of it would also be much assisted by payments made from the same fund on behalf of every queen's scholar trained in the institution. The meeting, atter much deliberation, came to the following resolution, which was proposed by Lord Lyttelton : " That it is the; opinion of this board that it would be highly advantageous to the cause of education in this diocese that a training school should be established in a central aituation, available to the whole diocese, under the regulations and open to the advan tages held out in the late government minutes ; and that with a view to that object at is expedient that a general meeting of the two archdeaconries be held at Birmingham on Thursday, October 7, at one o'clock." We trust (says the Hereford Journal) the projected meeting will be mime ' Toasty attended, and that the desirable object contemplated be will carried into effect. Nothing can be done efficiently in education till the race of schoolmasters has been improved. By the assistance now held out by government, which is always in proportion to local efforts, this peat end will be attained. This important diocese, containing about half • million of inhabitanu, and embracing nearly the whole of the counties of Worcester and Warwick, must surely be able to support an efficient training institution, more especially since so much aid will be afforded by the committee of council. THE WHITEBAIT A HABITAT OP THE WYE. —The Hereford Journal states that a specimen of this deli cate fish, hitherto confined to the Thames and the Frith of Forth, was taken on Friday last by Mr. W. H. Thomas, of Tintern, whilst angling with wasp-grub on the Gloucester shire tide of the Wye, about 400 yards below the hamlet of Brockweir. It had, no doubt, been carried to that distance from the permanently muddy part of the river, by the high and turbid tides which now prevail. The specific distinction of the whitebait from the other species of the same family is in the first ray of the ventral fin being perpendicular to the first ray of the dorsal ; a fact which is obvious in the indi vidual caught. The ovaries are full of spawn. Should this fish be found in quantity in the muddy pert of our tideway, it might ( continues the local journalist) become a valuable addition to our cuisine, and add • new and important attrac tion for the citizens of Bristol in visiting the romantic and beautiful districts of the Wye. SHROPSHIRE. A LARGE MURAL MoNUMIMIT was placed last week in the vestibule of St. Chad's Church, Shrewsbury, La commemoration of the bran mad bob/ging to the 63rd or Shropshire Re giaaent, who fell ed late war in India. The cost of this handsome which amounted to 2001., was defrayed by the sorrisiog of the corps, who liberally forwarded the maw Se ossaplate the same to Col. Frederick Hill, with a whit that k markt be placed in any situation that he might temilim t u apereseless.

" C C L EANT: - LITERATURE. Settlers and Conricis,;7lharabm of Sixteen Years Labour in the Australian Beeksaoll. By en EXIORAIT7 MECHANIC. Charles Co:. This is a very clever and interesting book. As the veritable production of a working man, who has had a long experience of the country and the people he undertakes to describe—who is evidently endowed with much natural shrewdness and intelligence—who that downright honesty and uncompromising pope l es of opinion which characterise the class of English artisans, and who has seen a great deal of colonial and convict life under its more ordinary aspects, such es are merely seen by the hurrying tourist or the government commissioner—it has a value peculiarly its own; an interest partly .general and partly idiosyncratic. The writer, it would appear, quitted England to- wards the end of the third - decade of this century— the precise date, and all names of persons and places are omitted—u a free emigrant for New South Wales, which, at that time aflordsd many more ful -1 Wee for making money ly hard work than it does now. The object of the emigrant was, of course, to improve his condition. Having a thorough English oonstitution a good trade, of which he was perfectly master—youth, active habits, a sunder able sum of money, and good fortune—his career was a prosperous one. His love and equity for work, and a thorough Saxon perseverance and unconquer able energy, gave him unroirse advantages over the guilt-debased convict population, and the lazy, 'alive born Australians, who are described as in the lowest possible moral oondition ; and in the course of the sixteen yyears which he remained in the colony, he succeeded in amusing a tolerable fortune. His health, however, was entirely broken up by hard work and an angenial climate, and his medical ad visers prescribed a return to his native air, as the only chance of a permanent restoration . To this cir cumstance we are indebted for these pleasant volumes. The history of his experience as a settler will b 3 of the greatest value to the emigrant, particularly to the emigrant to New South Wales. To all those who, tired of the Old World, or in search of a directer road to wealth, intend to make themselves a new " home in the wilderness," his struggles may become a daily lesson—his misfortunes may suggest a wise fore thought upon many points, otherwise likely to be overlooked—his slow, but ultimately success, may afford an important example of w ha t care care and frugality, with little means, may accomplish. Emigra tion has always been considered too much in the light of a speculation. It is really very little of that. It has almost lost the character of an experiment. The chances may be calculated be. forehand with considerable accuracy. The grext element of success in emigration, as in most othi things, is discretion. Small means, well husbanded, will go a long way—the largest resources may very soon be exhausted by inconsiderateness. An instance is 'recorded in these volumes of a gehtleman, who went out, who, in consequence of his ignorance and inatten tion, was cheated on every hand, and, in ten months, became a ruined man. The principal thing required in the emigrant—whether he be rich or poor—is that he be a worker, and understand his business : mere idleness and incapacity had better be content to re trench and stay at home. Poverty in England is better than rain in Australia. There is appalling evidence in these volumes of the low condition of public morality. The whole colony is infected: high and low, rich and poor, are alike and equally impregnated with the vices peculiar to their respective classes. The poor are improvident and drunken to the last degree. It is a current saying at Sydney that " they earn their money like horses, and spend it like asses," a pregnant description, which paints them to the life. The rich are—of course with exceptions—sensual, dishonest, tyrannical. A high sense of moral obligation is almost unknown. The tribunals of justice are not free from the gene ral corruption. The provincial magistrates are shamefully ignorant and unjust in their decisions. The police arrangements appear also to be very defec tive, and liable to manifold and great abuses. The strong hand of power is unquestionably necessary to keep such insurgent criminality in check ; but in pro portion to the danger, ought to be the justices--the better part of the majesty—of the law. The system of espionage, so repugnant to British fee'ing and to British maxims of policy, is openly resorted to. The free emigrant is regarded with suspicion and distrust by the convict population, and subject to every pos sible annoyance from those is authority. Between the armed natives and bushrangers on the one hand, and the mess of debased criminals on the other, there is little security . for life or property in New South. Wales, except in the town of Sydney, where these disturbing elements are overawed by a large force. And no wonder. It is fearful to think what a mass of corrupt, disorganising, demoniacal beings a short sighted policy had suffered to accumulate in such a spot, without any means of redemption, translation, or re-elevation. The convicts are all knewn—branded as it were; they have no means of escape from the moral stigma which they brought with them into the colony; and this renders them reckless. Lying, thieving, drunkenness, are their ordinary charac teristics. To be known as Tom the Liar, Dirk the Thief, and so forth, is not considered uncommon or disgraceful. These appellations are the current distinctions in this university of crime. The de terioration even of the magnates of guilt when surrounded by suck influences must be great and rapid. Most of these persons are woefully ignorant, and when cast off by their native land in all the freshness of their crimes—removed from all reforma tory influence—no effort made to recover their self respect—sold into bondage in a distant land, what better could be expected ? We admit that to find • perfect and practicable remedy is difficult. It is much easier to see what is bad than to create what is good but in the meantime no one can doubt the desirableness of making an effort to reform so pal pable an offence. Criminal jurisprudence is far from having acquired • scientific character as yet. The great problem of the duty of society in relation to crime is still unre solved. The first principles are yet matter of dispute. One jurist's postulates are challenged by another; and in this uncertainty lies one of the great difficulties of dealing with crime by law. While philosophers dis pute, statesmen must act; and from contested pria ciples, questionable practice must inevitably result. So long, however, as imprisonment and compulsory labour are recognised by the law as the elements of punishment, the legislator must confine his operations to the sphere prescribed; but in that sphere he will be morally responsible for the wisdom of his work. The recent alterations proposed by Earl Grey in the system of transportation and secondary punishments, manifest a laudable desire on the part of the govern-, ment to meet the great responsibilities of the questior and the increasing frequency of its discussion in . te„,. closet and the country evidences its growing um. portanee in the minds of men. Society has but itt understood its duty to the criminal. Crime is a social abuse, for the most part, and arises from certain. institutions and conditions of which the corporate society has, to some extent at least, the controuL Society engenders the crime against which it wars—or at all events it makes the criminal, who incarnates the crime—and it has most solemn tied unquestionable duties in relation to it. Prison statistics, whose evi dence cannot be gainsaid, have established the con nexion between crime, want, and ignorance. These two sources are the fountains of depravity. The great mass of delinquency may be easily traced directly to them. And these being often attributable to misapprehended obligations on the part of the more elevated and educated classes, it becomes a solemn inquiry, whether we have • moral right to expatriate the men, whom, as a nation, we have reared in ignorance and nurtured in crime, to a foreign clime, without making an earned attempt to bring them back to a state of rectitude, before we commit them to the hor rors of a penal settlement? If punishment only. be intended, the affirmation is comprehensible : but if reformation be included in the objects of the sentence —and there are few advocates now for the law of vengeance—then such an answer would be most in consequential and illogical. The judge is mora:ly bound to attempt the amendment of the culprit, and the executive to second the effort. It is a cardinal maxim in national jurisprudence, that every state is responsible for, and charged with, the cure of the crime itself engenders. A compre hensive policy would extend the application of this aphorism, to those youthful states which the genius of England is raising up on all the great continents of the known world. Why should we sow, not the seeds, but the NI grown crime itself, broadest upon the shores of the Indian Ocean ? What can grow up tat of such elements as we were long accumulating at Sydney ? It is frightful to imagine. In fulfilment of the high mission which has been committed to Great Britain, of rearing up a family of glorious children, like the one now settled on the banks of the Potomac, in every zone of the earth, the parent state should carefully guard against an evil example. In the policy of the past—now happily checked—we were providing wholesale troubles for ourselves in the future, not only on the great Australian continent, but likewise in the neighbouring seas. The time may come when we shall look for an ally in Australia, and find a fce— formidable alike from its resources and its disregard of moral obligations. Thanks, however, to the govern ment, this monstrous evil is arrested. It was fully time. The colony was almost lost. FINDLAV.i Classiest: Atlas for Ancient Geography.

Hitherto such auxriaries to the classical reader have either been too trivial or too erudite, adapted either to the school, or the profound antiquary.
