It having come to my knowledge that my position as governor of the Debtors Prises and commanding officer of the London Ride Brigade are egissidered incompatible, I have an additional moon for taking a coarse which involves • painful sacrifice.

A public meeting of the utetropolitau trades was held at St. James's-hell, Piccadilly, last evening, to take into consideration the positioo of the moons now on strike. resisting the hoer system. The meeting was pretty numerously attended, but the hell was not quite full, owing probably to there being a charge of twopence for admission to the body of the room, and foorpence to the platform. Mr. ROGER GRAY (mum) was called to the chair, and io opening the proceedings he expressed his sorrow that th e benches were so empty. He expected to have seen them spate filled. The master builders said they were satisfied with the hour system ; but the question was whether the men were satisfied. At present they were working till 4 o'clock on the datnnlays, so that they might see what the system would lead to. Mr. UoNoLLy, the secretary of the masons' strike corn- Illve an account of the proceedings sine the com mencement of the struggle. In 1a59 the building trades of the metropolis considered it highly essential fur their physical and mental welfare that their hours of labour should be reduced from ten to nice hours a day. They considered that nine hours was sufficient for • day's work, and ss. fd. little enough for a day's pay. When they made this demand t h e master builders resolved therm/Ives into an sumuciation. They knew the result. A strike took place at Messrs. Trollops s, and there was a general lock-out on the part of the masters. Then there was the introduc ties of the document, and after • resistance of six months the masters were compelled to withdraw it, and the workmen were allowed to resume work on the same terms as previous to IWO. At the commencement of this semen it appeared to the ope ratives in the building trade that nine hours was as requi. cite then as it was before. From the experience of the past they were not prepared to enter into • strike, and therefore they respectfully memorialised their employers, soliciting this boon. The answer the masters returned was • notice that after the sth April following skilled labourers should be paid Td. an hour, and the labourer* at • lower rate. The operatives saw that that would reduce them to the condi tion of the casual labourer working at the docks. They be- hewed that the masters would make them work over-hours in the summer time, and in the winter time, when they re- quires! more food sod clothing, they would be reduced to the lowe,t standard. Did they think that the masters would go to the expense of lighting gas io the winter time when they could get them to work long hours in the summer? Four of the employers introduced the hour system. Their ob ject was to take the workmen io detail. The Time, the organ of the employers, threatened the workmen with ' competition by men brought from France and Germany, but they dreaded these foreigners as competitors no more thau they would dread them as invaders. By taking the offecouring of the labour market the touters filled, or par ' tially tilled. four workshops. The nouns called a meetmg, and seeing that a strike for nine hours was so distasteful to the public, they came to a compromise, and said they would take ten hours, and leave on Saturday at 12, being paid la. • day and 3s on Saturdays. Seeing that there was only the difference of an hour between them they thought the masters would come to an agreement with them, and they *pounded a deputation to wait upon them, and they offered them a guarantee that no further change should take place for a reasonable period of time. The masters, however, were determined to have the hour system. and the masons had so alternative but to strike. Accordingly, on the 10th of June 1100 masons suspended labour, and declared they would never resume work till the object they had in striking was obtained. The moment they 'impended labour 50 were taken on at Westminster-bridge works. and up to this time 56 Anna, large and small, seeing the justice of their denial:ode, had conceded then), and Sit) men were employed by those sti firms. To show that they were anxious to bring this dispute to a close, and that they were not professional agitators, it being euggested by an architect that this was a struggle that might be settled by arbitistiou, two of their body were selected to eater into • negotiation, rod they proposed that the Royal Institute of Architects should appoint • fair and impartial tribunal if the masters would consent. The maiden, however, refused. Matters went on till the beginning of August, and the general society throughout the country, seeing that the masons in Lmlon were suffering much pri vatiou, determined by • triumphant majority that the men working at the country jobs of the roasters who supported the hour system should cease work. Their secretary issued an edict setting forth the resolution the society had come to, sod in shiest every instance it was obeyed with the greatest alacrity. Rut they would never have been able to continue the straggle had it not been for the assistance they had derived from other trades, and amongst others who had assisted them he might mention the iron shipbuilders, who had sent them the munificent sum of 154)1. The mamas' society had up to the present time paid upwards of 1,0001 to the men on strike He hoped that the other trades would continue their support. Fur six months they struggled against the " document, and only 33 men belonging to their society sigoesl it. In the same way they were prepaid to do battle against the hoar system. The masters said the men were 4mi:inbred over by their societies, but he said that the masters were tyrannised over by one soother an d no t th e men , using that one single individual, Mr. Lucas, who proposed the hour system, could force a men like Mr. Myers to part with the men who had pieced him in the high position he occupied, and to take in exchange the offscourings of the quarries of Scotland. He believed that the game was is the hark of the men ; they were in possession of the whole of the workshops in London, except those of the big firms, and they were in possession, too, of the workshops in the country. He thought he might pledge himself on the pert of the men who were out that they would continue the struggle until victory crowned their efforta. (Cheers.) Mr. Geoeng Forme mooed We first resolution. "That it li Is the opinion of this meeting, that the system of payment by the hour, ea introduced by the Master Builders ' Society, is destructive to the best interests of the working classes ; that the mamas of London are perfectly justified in resisting that system ; and that the shortening of the hours of labour being a recognised necessity, their demand for a Saturday half holiday, at twelve o'clock, is just and eqtutable." H e said, if time bad permitted, it would have been easy to have reviewed the history of former movements of • similar character, in order to have shown that where • reduction of the hours of lalour had taken place, it had invariably followed that wealth and economic production had increased, that wages had risen, life had been lengthened, intelligence and mo rality advanced, and order and happiness greatly promoted. When the legislature began to interfere with labour in the cotton manufactunog districts, the opponents of the mea sure declared that no beneficial results could accrue to the working classes, and that the measure would be the ruin of the commercial greatness of Ragland. But if they looked I at the reports of the factory impeders, to the testimony of medical men, to police statistics, and to the registry of deaths, they would find that they were unanimous ins de claring that, instead of the diseased bodies, of the stunted statures, of the sickly complexions, sad of the early deaths which were the characteristics of the factory operatives before the passing of the Ten Hours Bill, they had now a generation of factory workers who, in the attri butes of buddy health, moral purity, and social wellbeing, were in no respect inferior to any other class of operatives. (Hear. bear.) Neither had the financial ruin depicted by the opponeuts of the measure come upon the master manu facturers. On the contrary, the cotton lords were es pros perous and as powerful as ever, and their productions had in ereued surly 50 per cent. within the lest fifteen years. is advocating • reduction of the hours of labour th e y neither asked for the interference of parliament to accouiplish their object, nor did they Eased the &IMO urgency es that which existed in the case of the factory operatives. Neither did they maintain that the over-toil which masons, phisterers, bricklayers', and carpenters, enraged in the building trade, had to undergo was so destructive to health sad life as that which the factory operatives had to undergo Wore the passing of the Ten Hours Bill. But it did not follow that if the factory operatives were robbed of one fourth of their natural lives, that the building operatives should be deprived of one-tenth of their natural period of existence. Those persons who blamed them for seeking a reduction in their hours of labour, because there were other workmeu who worked more hours than they did, must endune the proposition that no men had • right to ask or agitate for any amelioration while there were in the world human beings whose °oath tion was more sleplonthle. This was not the logic of the operatives. They denied that they were bound to submit to their condition, because unhappily there were others of I their fellow -creatures more oppressed and more jammed into misery Rod degradation than they were. On the coo kery, they believed aod maintained that it was the sacred sod boun den duty of every man and of every class to strive for an improvement in their condition, and not to rest con tented while a single removable grievance remained to be appealed against. He contended that a reduction in their hours of labour was essential to their physical and mental improvement, and one section of society was sot to throw upon another the whole of the maanal labour, depriving that section which had to perform that labour of the opportunity of intellectual development, without which human beings were as brutal as the beasts that perished. Let those who said that ten hours' labour • day ems not too much try it for twelvemonth+ ; let them knock the mallet, or thihammer, or the chisel about for tea hours every day for a year, and they would admit the truth of the proposition that nine hours a day was labour enough. The object of the hour system was to get the men to work longer hours, as in the shops where it prevailed it was a condition that they should !copra for not leas than ten hours • day. It was said a man had a right to work se long as lie pleased ; but he would reply that oo man had • right to Injure his fellow -creatures. The masters talked of istimidatMe towards the men, but he believed that there was intimidation on the pert of the masters towards other marten.

In the words of the poet : " The lives of great men will remind us We can make use life sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints in the sand of time." (Chest.) Mr. Witionr, a painter, seconded the resolution, and Mr. Hannon, corresponding secretary of the Minions' Amocia lion, also spoke in its support. It was carried unanimously. Mr. Munictr, boot-closer, moved- "That this meeting views with regret the obstinacy of the master builders of London in trying to enforce a system so obnoxious to their workmen, and is of opinion that the determination with which the masons have opposed the same for the last seven mouths entitles them to the sympathy and support of the whole of the trades of the metropolis, and we hereby pledge ourselves to support them until they bring the pr esen t struggle to a successful t erm i na ti os. Mr. Oix:ots, shoemaker, seconded, and this resolution was also unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and throe cheers for Mr. Potter, and the meeting separated, CHARGE OP THEFT AGAINST TWO YOUNG LADIEs. Two young women, who bad given the assumed names of Long and Murray, were placed before Mr. Henry at itow-street yesterday on remand, charged with stealing books. Humphries, on the part of the prisoners, said be Wended that morning before his worship on behalf of the 'two young ladies at the bar, and he felt he had never before been engaged is a more painful case. They were the daughters of a gentleman of great affluence and the highest respectability, and no motive whatever could be given for their acting in the manner they had done. The names and addresses they bad given were fictitious ones, and as the name of the father had not transpired, he did not think there was any necessity for him to add to that gentleman's distress by making it public. The young ladies had been resident and educated in India, and that might in some degree account for their looking much older than they really were. Their ages were respectively 18 and 16. Mr. Henry—They said they were older than that when the charge was entered. Mr. Humphries assured his worship the ages he bad given were correct. The young ladies had, up to the present un fortunate circumstance, occupied a superior station in so ciety. They were not in want of funds or anything that would induce them to commit a theft, and he could only attribute what bad taken place to that unfortunate malady which, unhappily for the persons attacked, rendered it im , possible for them to abstain from stealing articles placed within their reach. It was altogether a most distressing sass, and he hoped that it might be dealt with as leniently as partible. Ni. Henry—Have you heard the evidence upon which the prim:men were remanded? Mr Humphries—No, your worship. I have read the clerk's notes, and I bops you will take a compassionate view of the can. Mr. Henry—Then, Mr. Bass had better give his evidence in your presence. ._ Mr. Bass sa i d am foreman to Mr. Carter, bookseller, of the Strand.On the 10th of October the prisoner Loog entered our shop, sod said she wanted some prize books for girls about thiteen years of age. A number were shown to her, and she finally selected about 3/. worth, and gave directions that they were to be meet to Southamptou-row. After she bad left the shop I mined • book, and I immediately went out after her. I went up the Strand, and saw her in another book seller's shop. While I was outside watching, the prisoner Murray came and looked into the shop where Long was, joined her, ▪ waited until she came out, wh en s h e her, and they to both walked away together. I waztetti9: and told them they must come back Mr. • as • book had been missed. Long then took • book out of the black leather bag she had is her hand and gave it to me, but I discovered it was sot the one I bad missed. I searched the beg, and found in it five books which had been taken from the shop. A policeman was sent for, and they were given into custody. Mr. Heory-s-That is one inn, Mr. Humphries. There are vileness Dow to prove other robberies. Mr. Edwarl Ley. of 431, Strand, bookseller, said—About dusk on the 30th of September the prisoner, Susan Long, arms to my shop and selected two books, saying they were for school prink and directing them to be sent to No. 4, Southampton-row. They came to a guinea, and were to be paid for on delivery. The young man who took the parcel said he could fled oo such noon at the address given. On the 11th of October the other prisoner, Murray, came to say shop— Mr. Henry—That amid sot be, as they were that day at this court. -- /ir.ifticepluiee—They were apprehended on the evening of the 10th. ___ Mr. lacy—Then it was the 10th. She selected • book, and, giving the name of Harris, she ordered the book to be sent to No. ti, Southampton-row. I asked her if she knew • lady who had given an address at No. 4, as a person likely to bare books sent to her, but she said she did not koow. The name result followed as in the preceding case. The book was brought back, and shortly after she had left the shop • volume of Sir Walter Scott's Poems, valued at is, 6d., was missed. Mr. Henry—Did you notice whether they carried a bleck leather bag? Witness—No, I did not. Police-oonstale, A 581, said—l took the pnsoners into custody on the night of the 10th, in the Strand. They ware charged by Mr. Bass, foreman to Mr. Carter, with stealing books from the shop of his employer. Mr. Henry—Did they say anything ? Witness—They begged to be let go. They said, " Oh, sir, let us go, and we will not do soapy more. Mr. Thomas Hopkins said—l maids at Camberwell. The prisoner Long came into my shop, and gave the name of Dslatour, on the 12th of September. She said she wanted as album and a purse. I mold her both, and then went to i the ad.treas she gave, 10, Vera-road. I could not find any person of the name she stave. On the following morning I mimed a book of the description she asked for, when I was looking over the property in the shop. Mr. Henry—Several persons no doubt' entered your shop between the day on which you saw the prisoner and that l ea which you mimed your property. 1 Waimea—Oh, yes. Mr. Henry—Then I don't think it will be necessary to take your case, m it is not so clear as the other two that have bean taken against them. Mr. Humphries—l can't depute the evidence in the cases that have already been clearly proved. I have to ask you whether, if the prosecutors do not press the charge, you could— Mr. Henry—Oh, no, I cannot listen towything of that description. There are several CAMS brought against the primmer', and they appear to have been very artfully con trived. Mr. Humphries—l am afraid I must also admit that. But then, your worehip, it appears to be an act of monomania. It might happen to any family. lam prepared to say, on the part of the father of the unfortunate young ladies, that, if you could deal leniently with them, such a watch would be kept over their actions that a repetition of the offence could never take place. Mr. Henry—l don't exactly understand what it is you want. Mr. Humphries—Well, your worship. In the event of the promoutory Dot pressing the charge, that— Mr. Henry—Ob. no, I cannot listen to anything of that sort It is exceedingly painful for me to hear ouch a charge, but I cannot listen to an application of that sort. Mr. Humphries—lt is one of thews cases which unfortu nately show that persons, however respectably placed, when afflicted with the peculiar nialady to which f attribute the offence, moan withstand the temptation to steal. Mr. Lacy—As far as I am concerned I Mire no wish to press the charge after what Mr. Humphries has said. Mr. Henry—l cannot deal with this case myself. Mr. Humphries—The father in afraid that in the event of the young ladies going to prison a bread will be intlictod on them which can never be effaced. Mr. Henry—The cam is one that must go to the sessions. Mr. Humphries—l hops your worship will Dot adhere to that decision. Yr. Henry—Yes, I mug ; my duty compels me. It hi Do doubt a very afflicting cane. i feel it so; but I canuot allow my feelings to interfere on such an occasion. The primers mast be committed to the Middlesex Sessions fur trial. An the .iteerm then signed the depositions, and the gatemen were removal crying from the dock. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAlLHAT.—lstormation was received last eversiog at the King's mose terminus of the Great Northern Railway, that a fatal accident had occurred at the Ashton station, on the arrival of the 2.20 p.m. train.

The following summary of Calcutta intelligence is from the iforkarn of Sept. 9 : "Our latest English news is to the 3rd August. We have had very little news to write of since our i last. We are glad to say that we have not heard so much of cholera and sickness from our up- . country correspondents, so that we may hope that the worst has passed, not, however, without de , priviag us of at least the strength of a whole regiment of English soldiers. Government l.as appointed a commission to visit the Owes where the disease chiefly raged ; but we do not anticipate much result from their labours. We find the English press rejoicing over the treaty which is to put an end to French African slavery by substituting our coolies for the slaves, but we feel that lure we are suffering a severe loss from the abstraction of our labour. in Calcutta there are coolie agents for the West hashes, the Mauritius, and now for Bourbon, all competing against the tea planters of Amain and Cachou for the Boouooshs or Mangum the hill men of Chota Nagpore and other wild countries, who make the best labourers on plantations. The demand is much greater than the supply, and we certainly think that it is very bad policy to rob our own labour market in order to supply the French. We read in the Friend of India :—" Cholera con tinues among the English troops at Lahore. It has made its appearance at Benares and Nuasera bad. At a large public meeting of the natives of Calcutta, a memorial to Sir Charles Wood has been adopted, condemning the conduct of Sir Mordauut Wells for his frequent and indiscriminate attacks on the natives. This has called forth a counter address to the judge from the Maharajah of Bunl wan and the leading merchants and tradesmen of Calcutta. A bill to tax the cultivation of tobacco in Bengal has been introduced into the Legislative Council. An act has been passed enabling the three presidency banks to undertake the management of the naw currency notes, as soon asthey are received in India, and to undertake several of the duties hitherto conducted by the government treasuries. Rain has continued to fall heavily throughout the country. CHINA. Wo have advices from Hong Kong to August 28, and from Shanghae to August 17. The following is from the Once/and China Mail. The news from Pekin is, as usual, a little uncer tain. Some accounts report the Emperor to be ill— probably wishing so to explain his long absence from the capital ; other reports nay that he intends returning in Oc tober. The Shantung rebels seem to have been kept well in check during the past fortnight. The temperature at Pekin has been so high as 108 in the shade ; the nights were cool. From the three northern ports there is very little news ' • at none of them does trade appear to have got into a normal condition. Some of the troops are being withdrawn from Tien-tsin. New-chweng, although by every account situated in a large pro ducing district, has not yet done much in the way of trade. With regard to Chefoo—or rather Yen tae, which is the part occupied as a foreign settle ment—it may be considered as one of the moat promising ports in China. It possesses an excellent harbour and the country all around it is of the mosebeautiful description, only to be surpassed by some of the best Japanese scenery. The climate is pleasant and healthy, and the place altogether has exceeded the highest ex pectatious that were formed regarding it. The news from the Yang-the river is confined to the fact that trade at Hankow is improving. There has been no fresh movement of the rebels during the past fortnight ; it is not unlikely that they are gathering themselves up for an effort. Mr. Consul Melburst has issued a notification warning British subjects against the slightest breach of neutrality, and referring to the Manila having, some time ago, drawn upon herself the fire of the Imperialists while engaged in landing a passenger at Ngan cluing. The Consul cannot afford protection to vessels so attacked, and he warns all against the danger they incur by any such broach of neu trality. From Shanghai, there is little news to record. It would appear that a movement is on foot to have gas introduced into the settlement. The action of the Shaughae Chamber of Commerce in the Cus toms question has been closely followed up by that of Hong Kong, but sufficient time has not elapsed to ascertain the sentiments of her Majesty's Pleni potentiary on the subject. It is impossible, how ever, to exaggerate the importance of a speedy determination of all the matters at issue between the foreign trader and the Chinese Custom-house. The former complains of undue exactions on the part of the Custom-house officials, and of vexatious and unnecessary delay in the transaction of busi ness, which, as time is money to the trader more than to most other men, is fully equivalent to an actual pecuniary loss. It is a great pity that this should be the case, and that an institution meant to do good should be in the hands of mana gers who are fast rendering it mischievous. It would appear that English victories in China are rapidly being avenged, now that the weapons are changed frcm the sword to the abacus, and the theatre of war shifted from the field to the count ing-house. Chinese skill is now fully equal to English, and the issue of this contest is scarcely doubtful ; so quickly has the day of retribution arrived. JAPAN. The following latest intelligence from Japan is taken from the North China Herald of August 10 : "The arrival of news from Yeddo is looked for with much anxiety. The Fiery Cross brings the latest, dated 29th ult. Her Majesty's ship Actaion and gunboats Dove and Leven had arrived from Nagasaki, but the Admiral was still absent, and the Fiery Cross saw nothing of him on her passage. "At Yukuhanis the residents appeared to be under , no fear. At Yeddo, the Japanese seemed to expect another attack, as besides the usual guard, they had the retainers of two Damon; as an extra protection, and the precautions to meet it were daily increasing. The gnarls were going about in full armour day and night, lamps were stuck up at every ten paces or so, and large fires kept up all night at a distance of from 40 to 80 paces, so that it was impossible any one could get into the grounds of the Legation unob served. They are said to disapprove of the ma rines being on guard, as in case of au attack they would bo unable to distinguish between assailants and defenders, and would fire on both indiscri mivately. " Mr. Oliphant's wounds were not dangerous, but it was desirable that be should have the first surgical assistance, and lie will therefore return to . England ere long. '• The Ringdove would probably be despatched from Yeddo soon after the Admiral arrived, and , may be expected daily." Admiral Hope, long daily expected at Yeddo from Hong Kong, bad not arrived on the 26th. Our ' minister was maintaining his ground in the lega tion wish the aid of a guard of twenty-five blue jackets from the little despatch boat, the Ringdove, the only British man-of-war on Qum waters for the protection of British interests. Whether any second and more desperate attack was pending, no one could say. It is to be hoped the Admiral's tardy arrival may yet be in time to prevent such a calamity, and extricate the British representa tive from his perilous position. We hear M. de Belle court, the French Charge d'Affaires, immediately on hearing of the attack, very generously put him self on board the Ringdove at Yokohama, and took [TWOPENCE r with him 15 el' the crew of his Imperial Majwily'it ship Dordogne, with an officer, deter nined to shares a common danger. M. de Bellen.urt a few days later went to big own legation, where he remained with his guard at the latest date. Mr. Harris is also in his legation, and hitherto at least, undis turbed. AUSTRALIA. We have advice. from Melbourne to August 24. The great event of the month bad been the elec tions, which had resulted in the return of a large majority of supporters of Mr. liestes. The minister is said to have doubled the must, ber of Lis supporters. There had been a serious strike, attended wi th violence, at the works on the government railway. s. Advice. from Sydney are to ther 21st of Septembet '• The most important relate to the political excite went arising out of the fatal disturbance at this Burrangong gold-laid. The following account of these occurrences is from. the alydifies MuraiatA Herald : Almost the only event which has called forth any degree , ' of political excitement during the put mouth has been the , fatal disturbance at the Berrangoss gold•Seld. The polio. force assembled there being insufficient to meet an aetioi-• paled attack from the theirs, the *Wilier:* were sent up T .,. and although a collision was loudly threatened. and.by some• apprehended, a number of arrests , were made without the slightest resistance. The only aches taken by the diggers was to hold meetings to draw up petition to the Governer, praying for an official inquiry into the circumstances of the colliekne and to ap point delegates to present the petition to **Governor. These proceedings were to some extent reseeded by • handful of people in Sydney, who, by weans cf wilful and barefaced misrepresentations of the cans, made aa attempt to excite • public sympathy for the rioters. Obviously for this purpose, but ostensibly with the view of con sideriug the Chinese immigratiou, a public. meeting was convened, and notwithstanding the glaring fast that the disturbances at Burrangong were the re sult of a savage and entirely unprovoked assault by the Europeans upon the Chinese, the speakers, several of whom were members of the Assembly, thread their complaints at the unfortunate Mongolians as the cease of the disturbance, and indulged freely in all those false and wanton vilifications of the Chinese whieltare so immensely popular with large •umbers of the working and illiterate classes. The delegates sent with the petition front the diggers were recoguiseel as having been mixed up with the rioters, and Sir Johu Young refused to receive them, but promised that their petition, if forwarded, should be mid before the executive coated. A second public meeting was held for the purpose of urging on the government to suspend the operations of the military until an inquiry should have been made into the cimuuultauces of the colli sion. The two delegates were present, end made speeches, partly justifying the conduct of the rioters ; and by the other speakers the conduct of the governor. in refusing to receive them, was denounced as unconstitutional. To show the malignant hatred of the Chinese, shared in common with the rioters of Burrangong, by the majority of those preseut at the meeting—when a speaker rose to denounce the ruffianly attack upon the Chinese, he was assailed with hooting and yelling, and was not allowed • bearing. Torpy - one of the delegates, slid who wee a pub lica• at Burrangoog—was, on the morning of the meeting, arrested on • charge of being concerned in the riots, and was allowed bail for his appearance before the magistrates at Burrangong, WIMP) be has since been discharged, owing to the departure from the gold-field of those who were prepared to give evidence against him. The deputation appointed at the meeting waited upon the Governor with the petition, but were very plainly informed by his excellency that the circum stances did not justify his suspension of the ortheary opera tion of the kw, and th►t the judicial tribunals would afford them all the inquiry that they desired. No other proceedings have since been taken, and the attempt fo arouse public sympathy on behalf of the diggers hes beau a ludicrous failure. The statements they furuished with regard to the collision, impugning the truth of the of reports, have been proved to have been so entirely mendacious and exaggerated, that their cause has become utterly con temptible, ►nd most of those who at first took it up warmly, believing there bed been some injustice, have since aban dulled it in disgust. The public at large were not misled by these r.erversions they saw at once that the assemblage of • company of armed men in front of the camp, demanding the release of pri. loners, was only the preliminary to the attempt to rescue them. It was no lees obvious that, whether the Riot Act had been read or not, or whether the police or the diggers fired first, was of little consequence, end that the troopers were justified in the vigorous stops they took to disperse the rioters. All the evidence that has been given respect. ing the occurrences hoe served to confirm and justify that opinion. The recent proceedings at the gold-fieltla have afforded proof, if such had been needed, that the animosity which is entertained by a large clam against the Chinese, and which has been freely pandered to by the touters for popu larity in the Assembly, is the result, not of any actual experience of the immorality or die offensive habits of that people, but of the selfish and indefensible prejulice against them. As those who entertain this sentiment are more noisy and demonstrative than others whose in telligence and social position better entitle them to be heard, it is probable that some measure of a prohi bitory ch►racter with regard to the Chinese may be forced on the legislature._ _ _ . The elections that had taken place since the par liament was prorogued had somewhat affected the relative strength of parties in the Assembly, the return of Mr. Forster of Mr. Holt, and of Mr. Faucett affording valuable secesaions to the opposi tion. The ministerial party is numerically strong, but it is only on two or three leading questions that the support of any large proportion of these can be relied on, and it is not at all unlikely that upon the announcement of their Unsocial or their educa tional policy many of their uncertain supporters may turn against them, and assist to put them out. The Land Bill and the Legislative Council Bill were to be introduced early in the session, and would probably be quickly passed with little altera tion by the Amembly. NEW ZEALAND. The transport Henry Fernie, with detachments of various regiments from Cork, arrived at Auck land in 90 days, all well, after an agreeable passage. News of Sir George Grey's re-appointment as governor had reached Auckland, and Go ve Gore Brown was directed to proceed to and remain at Sydney until he should receive a new appointment in Australia. A board of inquiry, under Colonels Chute, 70th, and Warre, 57th, had assembled at Taranaki to inquire into the old Waireka skirmish 10 months ago. Everything was proceeding peaceably and satisfactorily in New Zealand up to the 12th of August. At Hobart Town, Tasmania, the speech of Go veruor Young had iron received with favour. Mr. Weston had resigned the post of premier on account of ill-health, and been succeeded by Mr. Chapman. It will be remembered that the last mail bronglit down intelligence from New Zealand to the holding of the Ru or great native council, in which William King,William Thomson ' and the rest of the chiefs, declined to accede to the Governor's terms for peace. Shortly after that the House of Representatives met at Auckland, and the Stafford ministry were defeated on their war policy, and Mr. Fox, who took the lead in the opposition, was called upon to form a new ministry. In attempt ing this, he at fi rst found some difficulty, but he afterwards succeeded, and met the house nil the 16th of July, and made a statement of the policy tile new government proposed to pursue. -1
