I hear that it is at last decided that Austria is to have it all her own way in the German 9oestion. The ministers are said to have given in their resignatity, which was not, however, accepted. A wens is re ported to have occurred bettere en the King and his ' deists, in which the remsnatrances proffered by the latter met with no very gracious reception. It seems that the journey of &duvet° to Frankfort bar been completely fruitless. The Prince of Prussia accepts, with the most dutiful acquiest toot, all Austrian pro poeals r and his royal hieners and the A?chfluke Alhett will manage the affairs of the central power with the most perfect harmony, not needing any nat ive, like the Schleswig commissioners, to settle their _ _ C, I. Holges has just delivered his second decision as umpire between the Danish and Prussian commis sioners en Schleswig. This time the English übi trator's verdict is evilest the Dine, and is cat Ally mom equitable than the lost, which treated the paper of the poor &hie swigets with nearly as little cere mony as Haynsu treated the Kossuth notes. All the Danish erniAlts in Sch.eewig sent about their busi ness since March, 1818, had beta shipped at Copen hagen, duly provided with bills drawn on the Schles wig Holsteins treasury for the it pay, and all ready to resume their place s,wh, n the Hanish commissioner, Herr Von Tillisch, proposed that the said employes should be reinstalled forthwith. Tae Prussian com missioner, Count Eu'enborg, opposed this extraordi nary pretension, and Colonel Hodies sided with him. The second chamber commenced yesterday the task of revising the constitution. laetead of beginning' with the Ist ankle, they peered on to the 41st, where the attributes of the sovereign begin to be defined TO, first of these which raised discussion was the King's right of making peace and war and concluding treatise, which the 46th artiele con cedes, with the- condition that treaties of commerce, Si well as other treaties which imp se burdens on the state or obliga tion+ on indivi•tual cif sans, should be submitted to the chambers. The committee altered tt•is article by adding the cane, " Treaties of years do not require the consent of the chambers." In the debate, needy all the leading men opposed the amendment of the c.mm ttee. Even tte etramontane Ri ichensperger of the extreme right made a stand against the new Tt e article was finally passed in its original Witte, or rather in an equivalent bet clearer form pro posed by Bsdelschwirgh. The let and 2nd chambers have agreed to take up dill'. rent chapters of the con stitution to avoid the it c •nvenience of discussing the same question at the same moment. The first cham ber has been occupied yesterday and to-day in discus sing the freedom of the press. This is consigned in tte followinr emphatic article of the cctroyd consti tution. " Every Prussian has the right by speech, writirg, printing, and design freely 'o express his tb•teghts. The freedom of d e press con under no circumstances and in no manner be suspended or abrogated." The committee confined the last clause to the prohibition of the introduction of ci Imre ship ; in which f irm the article was carried. The last clause of the article in which the right of assembly is censigned, was struck out in consequence of the ordinances passed by government which embxly the same, and the ar isle was pa-seri, its substance re maining entire. Art. 28, which sanctions the riAt of association was loft by the committee untouched, but an amendment was proposed by Jordan to the effect that the right of awcistior. should be regulated by special Isevs for the maiotenanc of public security, and that clubs shouln be subject to temporary prohi bition and limitations by law. This amendment, after an animated debate, was carried this afternoon. M. de Pereigny is gone to Dresden.

The Vienna journals of the 17'h inst. announce that the conferences relative to the affairs of Austria have commenced, at which the Emperor presides. Indisposition prevent d Haynau front attending. The city of Milan also apperrs disFosed to reed to Vienna a deputation to present i a submission ; the deputation from Venice, already here, is endeavouring to obtain its preservation as a free port, but u it was 1t as for the ask • of punishment that this freedom was abrogated and more as au application of the new priociples adopted by the commercial policy of ministers, the success of the deputation appears more than doubtful. It was reported in Vienna that Count Stunner, the Austrian ambassador, and Count Tetoff, the Russian one, had left Constantinople in consequence of the refusal of the Porte to surrender the leaders of the Hungarian insurrection. HUNGARY.— PE5711, Stn. 13.—0 n the even ing of the 12th inst. a frightful hurricane with thunder and lightning burst over this city. Its effects were terrific and destructive; all the windows, for instance, having a westerly aspect, were dashed to pieces by the hail, and the broken panes alone are estimated at 200,000. The only persons bete who have reason to be contented with the events of the year are the glaziers, for first of all there was the bombardment; then the illumination in honour of Kenneth, when the mob made rare havoc with whole rows of windows, and now— omne trinum perfeetum —the devastation that has just been caused by the elements. Quantities of cattle were being brought in that were found killed in the fields. All the vine yards round and about the two cities of Perth and Oren are utterly d strayed. WURTENIBERG.—Oar latest intelligence is to Sept. 18. Oa the 16th inst. there was a meeting in Niirdlin gen of some members of the Bavarian and Wurtem berg Cheetah. rs for discussing the tactics to be pursued by the left in both countries relative to the German question, and especially the octroying attempts of the governments. The result of the conkrence was that the left of th- Bavarian Chamber is, in essentials, agreed with the peletar party in Wurtemherg ; ean sequently, that it is resolved to hold fast to the Fes kfort constitution, and to defend it against both Pressian and Austrian intrigues. Prince Wallenstein, Fetzer, Mohl, Rodioger, Schoder, Tafel, Zeller, and use others were present.

Unhappily, the s-il in which the tunnelling was to be performed was a mm fine light sand, not adapted for such a procedure unli as extraordinary precautions were taken; and the consequence was, that during the progress of the work, several small dements of sand occurred, and on Wednesday, one of the men employed, pereiiving the dancer, »Geed to continue at work, sad thu very pro bably sewed his life.

The Atoning Journal asp; : By many it Is exported it will proceed with the busineu of the country. The fight will be rpm the address in assurer to the governor's speech, and the division, or divi-ions, which will then take place, will show whether members have, or have rot, mol.fird their views upon the late re tree:haunt measure. Should the majority determine, as it is slowed, to abandon that measure and apply th-raselves to others of more importance, even in a pecuniary point of ' view, there will be a great deal of work to go through, and much matter for sennut consideration. N thing hes been done fee some time, beyond disputing among themselves end with the othe r winch of the legislature, and we 'ppm ' herd the proceedings will be characterised by • gnat dial of crinsination and recrimination. It will be a pity if time is west , d in this mews, easing that members will have little of It to spare, if t ey prow d In earnest with the buil , nese of the country. But should the msjority unhappily persist in carrying the late measure, titer* mast, we presume, be a: ..titer dissolution. The only coostitntional course is to app al, and continue to appeal, to the people. The deputreemmiss,ry-general Epps, died at Newcistle on the 11th of August of fever. He had not been long In the island. The cholera was dreaded in tho island. It had been rumoured that three cases hid occurred at the Camp. but the medical men decided that the soldiers had died of dyserverr. The Rabbi Athiel Cohen had arrived in the colony for the purpose of ..btain:ng subscriptions in behalf of the building of a temple in Jerusalem on the site where the second temp e formerly stood. Toe weather had been very dry and pretty, and agriculture had suffered is consequence. Just before the sailing of the picket, however, some rain had _ _ _ Trade is reported to continue dull, and no imme diate improvement was anticipated. The general elections were progressing. Oat of 47 members, of which number the Assembly is com posed, 35 had be• 11 returned, of whom 23 are advo cates for retrenchment. Out of the 12 members to be cleated, it was exp• c•ed that nine would be in favour of the measure. Thus a large majority of the country rely had been stewed. If the Council should re fuse to pus the Retrenchment Bill, which will be laid before them reedy a ter the meeting o' the new house, it was confidently stated that the Asa mb'y will again refuse t t vote the supplier, and in all pro babi i'y ancrher dissolution take place. The existin, revenue bills extend only to the let of Oct'•ber, and in the event of another dissolution, would expire b fore a new 'lf use could be called together, in whiet case a great loss to the revenue of the island will be sustained. l'wo Lew daily papers had been started iu Kings ton on retrenchment principles. One of them, the C•lntrial Standard!, is conducted by Mr. Girod, the former 'claw of the Ananias Despatch. The other, The Cdonservatire, is edited by Dr. Speldmg, and Mr. R. J. de Cordova, a very popular writer in the island, under the name of "Uncle Diamond." BRITISH GUIANA. - - - The Combined Court had met many times for the purpose of proweding with the coraideration of the long disputed estimates. On the 2nd of August they hod got through all the items exc.pt the civil list. It was then thought advisable, as that estimate was likely to lead to long debate, to renew for a period of three months the tax ordinance of 1847, which was meordingly done under date August 7th by a prorla 'Dation, signed by Governor Henry Barkly. This measure seemed to meet with little objection, as it provided spinet the temporary exigency arising from stoppage of supplies. On a anlecquent day the Combined Court pro- ceeded to discuss the civil list. The Governer had made out the estimate in a double form, one side of the document presenting the full amount 390001., the other the reduced einnunt, 26,0001. ; it being under stood that it should be left to the imperial parliament to decide which cf the two sums w,.s proper to be eirpted. The opposition, however, stoutly con- Marled, that the original amount, 39,0001., should be expunged altogether, and that the reduced amount alese should stand. On this, a discussion ensued,aud ultimately a division was taken, when the government Arty as nem! carried their point by the governor's eashng vote, the numbers being seven on each side. At a subsequent meeting on the 7th, Mr. It se pro- posed the following resolnion liernlved—That the salaries, other than these on the civil Net, Instil the question relating to the same shall have bees Madly d.eided, from Ist January to 30th June, 1848, be pall at tit, rates voted on the .stintate of 1847 ; and the &alai., free Ist July, 1848, to 31st December, 1848, be paid at the ✓ate specified on the estimate of 1848. This was negatived by the governor's vote. Len and somewhat angry discussions then nerd on va rious items, the opposition moving many amend ments, but, as we understand, they were all rejected. Ultimately the bill as propised by the government was passed, and the court stood adjourned to Septem ber 17. Upon this, the minority of the Combined Court all wi h one accord resigned their sesta in that assembly. It does not appear that up to the date of the last ad vices the governor had accepted the resignations ten dered. Hopes were expressed that these resignations would not be persisted in. The Royal Gazette says : We cannot avoid remarking that the withdrawal of so many of their colleagues from their chairs in the legislwive hall would be attended with the painful conse quence ot seri ously and unduly adding to the responsibilitr s and labours asks few elective members who have determined to nand to the last by the helmet the vessel of sten. We believe we are warranted in stating that so many simultaneous resigna tions are altogether unparalleled in the legislative germs of British Anises; and, lonsilering the disneed state of public affairs, and the disorganised rendition of society in this . colony at the present unfortunate moment, we cannot refrain hem expressine our sincere hope that the rumour alluded to la altogether devoid of foundation, but that, if unhappily it should be too true, the gentlemen who h.ve resign:d will reconsider the CZ,Uffe they have adopted, acd resolve oa at once recalling their tenders of resignation. On the Bth, the governor, Mr. Barkly, and family left George Town for Legnao, from whence the governor will proceed to the main most of Essequibo. Mrs. Barkly had been suffering from delicate hesl'h, bat it sem hoped that the sea breeze would restore her. The Court of Policy had agreed to lend the Deme rara Railway Company 17,0004 on security of their works. The British Guiana Bank had held its half-yearly meeting. A dividend of 2 per cent. for the half year had been declared. The wea•her had been rainy, and, consequently, bat Hide sugar had been made. Some in the year's crop was expected.

The following lute relative to her perage will be read with interest:—" The Bangalore registers 876 toes, be lolling to Mean. Phillip., Shaw, and Lowther, of London, anu is commanded by Caps. J. A. Mama. Having a full cargo, the deed weight of which approached 1,100 tens, con sisting of gambit, bides, gutty percha, pepper, spices, sago, antimony, cocoa nut oil, sperm oil, &c , sbe sailed from Sen (spore on the 4th April last, called at St. Helena on the let, and left there on the 3rd of July. By . the 20th August, the officers had got the rigging in good trim, and the hull and spars painted throughout, intending, with a proper pride, to enter the docks with a ere litable appearance. On the 4th Sept, however, when in lat. 502 north, long. 10.3 sr.st, they were overt aken by a gale, varying from tooth to south east, which split their jib, .and carried away their main sail, separated the main stalk of the rudder from the fan part, and did other damage to the ship. As soon as possible the rudder was secured by a yoke and hawsers, but on the 7th of September they experienced another gale, by which the fan part of the rudder was carried away, taking the false stern- pi.at with it. Oa the Bth they cut away the taffrail, and fixed our the stern a steer-oar, made of a main-yard, ith etuldine- soil booms for • fan, and having a crossbeam fora !ever, they worked the oar with elude guys and tetkles. Finding this not to answer, they,. on the 10%, set about .king a rudder, more like the original one, and for this purpose they ransacked the ship and her rigging for every available material. Her carpenter, Mr. &Aileen, took about thirty feet of the foreyard for a mainpieee, and a portion of the remainder, with a topeailyard tut in two for a fan ; thees weri lashed tcgetber with a copper wire rope, the lightning conductor, &e., and smeared with elms and strong iron bolts. All this was done while the unma nageable ship was experiencing the shocks of a short us, which made her tremble all over and the wash was so great that they were compelled to trice up the ports, to give the water free pursue across her waist. Frequent showers of cold rain were falling, and five or six of her crew were disabled by scurvy. Capt. Martyn was, however, ably sup p aced by his <A-erg, Mee rs Smith and Hanle, and the rest of the crew. The rudder being thus fnr comple ted, a clamp, something in the sleep of a ship's trestle-trees, was formed to receive it. The clamp was made of a spare anchor-stock, and one of the orlop deck besets • it had two jaws to receive the ship's stern poet, =deems famed to the rudder, so as to be seven feet from its heel, which was intended to be two feet from the lower part of the ship's keel. The topsail sheet chains were unroved and fixed to the clump, on either side, for use as pays. The next difficulty was to get the rudder under water, and for this purpose they attached to it an anchor weighing half • ton; but the rudder being made of fir proved too bueyar.t for the anchor, which was taken off and ts nlaced by two guns weighing from 7 ewt. to 8 cwt. each, and fastened with slip r Tee. By this means the rudder was at length sunk to its place, and the chain guys from the clamp having been brou.let on either side to the gangway pot s, -.sales were fastened from them to ring bolts in the deck, and the whole hove taut by the capstan. The redder being all debt, the slip ropes were cut adrift, and the guns hove on bond, with strong tackle fixed to the head of the mainmast. Too a f ter-ccovainodation having been cat - - • . • away, and the udder cue reduced, the tiller now - works on the main deck by ropes which ran through the poop deck up t•i the wheel. All this wh le the unfortunate ship had been gradually drifting upon a lee shore, and on the 14th of September, vntli the wind from the N.W. to N., right on the land. lidtant light bore B.E by 8., distant only 14 miles. Ths skill ►nd energy of British seamen had, however, under favour of a kind 1 1 r evidence, prevailed ; with her new rudder, the Bangalore was once more under control, and by it she at length niched this harbour in safety. It is to be hoped that this act of seamanship, by which a valuable skip and costly cargo hare been saved, will not go unrewardied." Ste Court.

SUSPECTED POISONING OF A FAMILY AT CHELTENHAM.

He used to work at the same farm with him about two years ago. He we. a shepherd. We have had a word or two : he did not leave because of any quarrel with sae. He quarrelled with me. He bad no reason to think Barnett hid any spite against bin. Alter eating of these dumplings on Friday lost, I woo taken ill as wklt as the rest. I ate a piece about the eize of the top of my anger and swallo wed it. I had some bread and cheese and cucumber before the dumpliep. About 20 minutes after I had eaten the dumpling I was ill. I felt II pain in my chest. Something caught held of my tongue. I was afterwards sick ; the bay was complaining of a nasty taste in the dumplings, and I cut a piece off one of the four which were in the dish. The sickness endured about an hour. I took some of the mixture which was sent. I don't know that Emanuel Barnett or his wife had ever quar relied with any of Mr.. Gregory's family. I have dined with Bernett at that house before. We have all sat down together. We have had dumplings. I don't know who supplied the filar and apples on these occasions. On this oc casion Barnett brought down the flour and apples. I had nothing to do with provi 'Jag the fl .ur or the apples. 1 dare say I should have partaken of the dumplings tt I had cot heard of their nasty taste.

It cured my brother's leg. About two years ago he was sent to: to cure some sheep. She heard him say he could not get it in Cheltenham, he must send to Cirencester. The little bey ate of the bulled meat. It was a pie that had been made at Mon son villa, a part of which was warmed up; the little boy wee about to take some of the dumpling, but my mother seeing the others so ill, threw the plate aw..y from him ; Mr. Barnett never offered to remove it ; she has noticed that Mr. Barnett was very fond of sugar, but on this occasion he to.•ls a very small portion with the dumpling, so little that she should nut imagine that he intended to eat much dumpling; she saw him take a piece out of his mouth and throw it under the grate; on the former oc.asion Barnett brought down the flout in a basin; this was the first time that he brought it down in a handkerchief ; from the appearance of the handkerchief she should not think it had ever be h tied up in an ordinary way, or that sod had been carried about in i•; when Barnett brought down the B .ter in his handkerchief it was not tied up, but be held it by the lour corners.; Barnett's wife came down to their house between 9 and 10 o'clock and swept out his room ; of er the ca ked dumplings were thrown away, Bar uett came into the room where my mother and I were ; he hut his sleeves tuck. d up ; he said, " 01, Mrs. Gregory, let me put away those two raw dumplings." I said, " No, mother, let them bide." My mother gave him the dumplings. Ile took them out. I afterwards saw him pumping for some minas. s. The pump is in the back kitchen. It is against a wall, on the other side of which is *e privy. There is • drain for the waste water 1. ailing from the pump through the wall into the privy, so that by pumping forcibly you drive the waste water through the privy into the common s:wer. This has a tendency . to • ash away anythirg in the privy. Between 9 and 10 is clock on Tuesday en -ening last hire. Barnett was at our house. She said to my mother, " I have heard it reported at Monson Villa that I was jealous of my husband, and that I had mixed the paean for him." She said, " if they won't let us be peaceable in Vida world, the hoped they would meet in the next. There was some sugar left after dinuer, which we had for tea. Atter the dumplings were cooked I remarked that the flour did not appear to b $ well mixed with the suet —that there was something mut. ual about them. It was not a light looking paste. It was more as if you had mixed whltesiog with it. Div.& Gee gory, the mother of the deceased, deposed tc her remembrance of D. borah Birnett calling at her house Aunt nine o'clock on the evening that this occurrence took place. Sae was in her husband's room. She was sweeping it with en ordiorry broom. Der hus'.and was there, sittirg, to the best of her recollection, on the side of the bed. SLe said it was very dusty and dirty. She said she would pay a person to have it cleaned nut, and asked me to And a person tor her. The wimess went off as (prickly as posatble on ac count of her children. It was not usual for Mrs. Barue't to come to sweep the rooms. The last time she we. there, to her knowledge, was at the termination of the holidays at Manson Villa. She was only there a few minutes. She heard Mrs. Barnett say, when they first came that her bus. bawd woukt in his passion have doubled Ketoek up. She sever heard Barnett say so She told Mrs. Arnett that it she sp. ke agaisat her brother she spoke against her. She might hove said the same to Mr. Barnett. She beard Di. Brookes say they were extreme cues of cholera. Dr. Brookes—l said it was like cholera ; the appearances from anecic and cholera are very much the same, except in one or two particulars. Witness—l am not positive whether you said " extreme eases of cholera " or " like cholera ;" it was something to that effect. The Coroner said the cote would not be complete until they got some evidence to connect the parties with the pur chase of poison, and although the police had inquired at various towns in reference to ti at point without success, still as Cirencester had been mentioned it would be necessary to institute inquiries there also. After some further evidence as to the medical treatment of the deeths.d, in which it was denied that they were treated for cholera, the inquest was adjourned until Wed nesday next ; and the inquest on the brother of the deceased, who died on the Sunday attar the death of his Maur, was ad journed to Thursday. CASUALTIES ON BOARD THE SAPPHO.—By the West India Mail steamer we learn that the Sappho, Com. Michell, arrived at Vera from Camseachy, 15:h August, and sail d thence again 16th.

We are glad to see that the names of a good many of our leading men, titles and whip, churchmen and dimenten, are already added to the list ; but we cannot foveae the expression of a wish that some more fitting mode could be devised of commemorating the virtues of the deceased, than a monument of brass or of marble. A Model Lodging-house—an appropriate building for !Lisa Stanley's Home—or something which should awe , taste the memory of the deceased with the benevolence which he exercised while living, would, we think, be more in as °ordinal with the character of Bishop Bewley, and more congenial to the feelingh of a large proportion et the mourn ing public.—Norfolk New. CHURCH RATES AT BURSLEM.—A general vestry meeting of the inhabitants of this parish was held on Thern day morning last, when it was proposed that the gfV. H. I W. G. Armstrong should take the chair ; an amendment, , was submitted and carried that Mr. Kennedy, • " dissenter, should preside, who took his seat ac.ordingly. A rate of fourpence in the pound having been proposed " for the neeessary expenses of the churches of the perish for the eAsuirg year," an amendment was moved that the meeting be adjourned until that day twelve month,. After a stormy discussion the amendment was carried, end recorded in the book, and signed by the chairman. Tne senior churchwar den then read the judgment of Lord Chief Justice Denman in the celebrated " Braintree " case. He said that as the majority had refused to lay a rate, he wee of opinion that the minority might remain, and levy the rate proposed. He then read a form, prepared by h:m to meet the ease, and said that he should ask the gentlemen in favour of the rate to sign this form; and the rate b. iag leid, he ahould take the opi nion of counsel on the queatiun ; and if that opinion was, as he believed it world be, that the rats was legal, he would not shrink from his duty as a cburthwardfn in putting it in force. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was passed unani mously. The Chairman, in returning thanks, observed that he was not unprepared for the result of the meeting. The law was unfortunately, he believed, against them. It was, however, a complete farce to call together the parishioners to decide as to the laying of a rate, and the majority having decided against it, to confer a power upon a email minority to do that which the majority had just decided ought not to be done. It was turning the pyra uid on its apex. The meeting then separated, after a disease:Am of two hour., leaving the minority to lay the rate, n .t, however, before a parishioner had rimmed his eetermination not to pay it, and invited his fellow-townsmen, who were of the same opinion, to meet, and consult with him on the subject. STARTLING DISCLOSURES. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE WOODS. PORES fS, AND LAND REVENUES OF THE CROWN. A report from the committee of the Wiese of Com mono, which was reappointed at the commencement of the last swim), at the instance of Viscount Doman, is publishei this (Monday) morning. Toe document is eutitled the " First Report" of the committee. We understand that a "Second R port" will succeed it. The first Report anteing the evidence and documents laid before the committee with reference to the " Woods and Forests." The mcond report will, we are informed, treat of the other property belonging to the crown—of the great estate in Loudon and of the management of tho Parks. 120 committee, as originally appointed. consisted of fi fteen members. Of this number, one, viz., Sir Benjamin Hell, never attended, and two, v.z , Sr R. H. Inglis and Mr. Trelaway, only appeared ores. Of the remaining twelve, no less than six were office holders,—viz. the Earl of Lin coln, Viscount Jocelyn, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Gibson Craig, Mr. James Wilson, and Mr. Hayter. Mr. Hsi ter scxd throughout as the crgan of the govern meat. The six independent men ben of the com mittee were Viscount Duncan (chairman), Mr. Lang ston, Mr. Piney, Mr. Henry 'Drummond, Mr. Mon tell, and Mr. Locke. All these, except Mr. Langston, appear, irrespective of politics, to have irpparted Lord Duncan in his endeavours to secure a searching investigation. Tee committee sat forty days between February and July, and examined a great varie'y of witnesses. On the sth of July, eleven members being present, the committee deliberated as to the nature of their repent, and requested the chairman to prepare a draft ot the same. This draft was submitted on the 12th of July. The report was discussed at three successive meetings. At tae last, Lord Jocelyn proposed, by way of amendment, that "the chairman be in structed to report the evidence to the house, and to inform the house that, owing to the late period to which their inquiries have been protracted, they are unable satisfactorily to report their opinions thereon during the present eeisioo, but will be prepared to do so in the event of their re-ap pointmeut next year." Upon this amendment the committee divided, when , there appeared for the amendment 7, against it 3. The consequence was, that the government majority succeeded in stifling a rept rt moat unfavourable and damaging to the management of this important public department. We now proceed to state the nate° of the evidence laid before this committee. The committee examined witnesses with regard to ithe state of the New Forest, the Forest of Dean ; Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire ; the Fun ate of Holt and Woolmer, Hampehire ; Delamere Forest, Cheshire ; the Forest of B4ie, Hampshire ; Chopwelt Woods, Durham; and littharn Woods, Keut. The statements made by various witnesses with regard to depredations and defalcations in the Nt W Fey est and the Fee est of Balmy were most extraordinary. We give below the report of Major Freeman, a government officer, who was sent into the New Forest to conduct the inquiries which were rendered necessary by the disclosures of last year. It will be seen that there is scarcely a sir gle department or branch c f the Forest manage ment of which he does not report iu the most unfa vourable terms. From the revelations which were made last year, the public ar.: net altogether unprepared for any dis closures, however extraordinary, with regard to the New Forest. But the ease of Salety will be entirely new to them. It is of the most astounding charms:, r. It appears that only a very few yeses ago the deputy-surveyor of tf is forest, a mm of Sta tion and the responsible officer of the govern ment, pursued a wholesalo and continuous system of plunder, which alternately resulted in the die-forestinz of all the land. This man, whose name was Kent, absolutely cut down and eo'd, for his own purposes, the whole of the timber in Sficey Forest. lie was engaged in this system of depreda tion, unchecked by the Commissioners of Wools and Forests, fir a series of years. At length he was unable, upon some occasion, to settle his quarterly accounts, and an enquit y being instituted, discovery followed. Time man was arrested, and indicted for embezzlement. He pleaded " guilty" at the Old Bailey. There was, conse quently, no trial, and no public disclosure what ever of the circumstances. The matter, in fact, was smuggled up by the government to rave themselves from the Wein • which would have at'ached to them. 'Io k.cp the matter still more quiet, Kent was sent out of the way under sentence of transportation. It seems that he died whilst undergoing thateentence. Ilow Kent came into the Woods and Forests employ ment is not eery clearly elicited. The " commissioner" can give no information of any sort respecting him. &yeti d what is stated by Mr. Milne, no one can tell how this man came to be placed in a situation of great public trust, for "my lords'" minute book con taining Kent's appointment is lost! The extent of the man's depredations upon the crown and the pub lic are equally unknown. All that is cocain is that he cut down every old tree in Salcey Forest, except between 40 and rso crake! There moat astounding revelations appear only to have come to light by accident. The present Deputy Surveyor of' Salmi Forest was anxious to refute some evidence that had been given respecting it before Lord Dune In's Committee last year. In his zeal he tendered himself as a witness and was ac ne pteJ. Upon the subject of these deprolations the minority of the committee prepwed to make the following re port, with direct references to "the functions of the Commissioners of Woods." " Instances of laxity have undoubtedly presented themselves in the course of evidence, extending over the transactions of many seers, and involving a very multifarious and minute expenditure of monies. Under the superinducement of long-continced illness ou the put of the immediate representative ot the board in the New Forest, and through the agency of leptons subjected to his control, and therefore more immediately re sponsible to his authority, frauds, it is apprehended, to a considerable extent, have been committed in that forest, attended with considerable pecuniary lose. The ill-advised selection of an officer for the local management of Salcey Forest, upon its inclosure in 1823, appears to have resulted in pro ceedings equally reprehensible in their character and equally lamentable in their results. Your committee are not disposed to underrate the importaree of those occurrences, and they more especially regret that it should hare been reserved for their inquiries to bring them first to the notice of parliament!' We must def. r to another day an analysis of evi dence respecting other Forests. At the last sitting of the committee the Earl of Carlisle, Chi( f Commie sioner of Woods and Forests, was examined. We give his lordship's examination entire. Hes your lordship any suggestion to make to the com mittee wi h reference to the future mansgement of the royal fon sea ? —There are, of course, points connected with the best mode of managing the royal forest, in future, which have been 'meant to my mind, yet I ha dly think that, till I have had an opportunity of maturely considering the whole of the evidence that has been taken by this committee, I should be warranted in submitting any distinct suggeitton or recommendation of my own to the committee ; I should be anxious to Coke the whole of the evidence that has beet. token into the best consideration that I can give to it, as early as p - trtible, and to come, aa soon as I can, to such a view of it as it may suggest. Has any correspondence taken place between the Office of Woods and the Board of Admiralty on the subject of supply ing orniier to the navy. subsequently to the 16th ot Ma cb, 1841 have peen this year in correopondence with the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Fronoie Baring, upon the R[l.l; -re.
