We extract from them the following in -1 telligence from the Dutch East India possessions : BATAVIA. OCTOBER 13. Three colonial' vessels have just arrived in Java, from Borneo, in a very short time, viz. the Castor schooner, in four days, from Tabanfo (Banjermassing), at Bata via, and Nautilus brig, and Calypso schooner, from the same place, at Sonrabaya. On board the last vessel was H. J. H. Tabias, who has fulfilled his important mis sion by placing everything on a satisfactory footing at Banjermassing. We hope &bristly to be able to give a. particular account of the judicious Ind successful mea sures adopted by the Commissioners at Banjermassing, where, at the time of his departure, order and tranquil' , lity prevailed. ,#: , .. ‘ The accounts fromlldfirtia contain extremely long details of new arrangements made erith the Sultan of Palembang, the result of which is, that on the 18th of August last, a contract was signed by which the Sultan renounces the revenue's:if the country ; and the internal' government, with the administration of justice, and the police, is immediately under the Dutch Government, the Sekan retaining the external marks of • honour attached to his dignity; : a suitable annual income being assigned to him, "and to such of the great men who are iatitled to it. , The Austrian Observer contains some observations on a passage in Mr. CANNING'S Speech in answer to Mt. BROUGHAM, respecting the prOceedings.of the Criminal Court of Milan. The writer of this article says, " Mr. Cara:leo thinks that according to the Austrian law, no sentence of death can be passed unless.the prisoner con fesses; which he judges to be abstird, because the con fession must either be extorted by improper means, or, if the other suffice, must be superfluous. Both supposi tions are quite erroneous r• according to the AUSITiaII, legislation, sentence of (kith - -amyl* .pisied and exe cuted on if Owner - aboettiventy years of age, if he has committed **Ail *dam ad either 'confesses it, or is duly convicted-by depetitioni on oath of at least two credible witnessea l Vhe must 'speak of their own positive knowledge, and net from hearsay, conjectures, probabi. lities, ei lifereacei.: . .That the Austrian Criminal Courte l fisasted by the same humane spirit as the Go verninent, consider the confession of the criminal as de sirable, even when the other legal proofs are sufficient, is true, but certainly commendable, because such con fession leaves no doubt of the fact, which is punished capitally. • 44 That the confession must be improperly extorted. is a perfectly erroneous supposition, as is evident from the fact that torture has been long since abolished (un der MARIA THERESA); and that by the Austrian cri , ;" mint code, the confession of an accused person is not to be admitted as legal proof against him, unless it is delivered before the Criminal Court when the accused is in full possession of his faculties, and unless it be clear and positive—not given by equivocal expressions or ges tures, or merely by affirmative answers to questions prik posed,lmt by a statement of the crime, and conformable to the circumstances of the crime proved by the evidence. " The Austrian law expressly enjoins, that' the confes sion of a prisoner; obtained contrary to the enactments of the law by promises, threats, or violence, or other unlawful means, shall not be admitted as legal evi dence; lastly, that the freest confession of a capital clime shall not be legal proof, if it should be abso lutely impossible to find any trace of the crime, besides the confession. The law expressly prohibits the putting of suggestive ques tio n s, holding out promise of par- 1 don or of mitigated punishment, every • arbitrary in terpretation of t.,e answers of a prisoner which doei not agree with the plain meaning of the words." The writer then asks, $ 4 where are the unjust means employed to extort confessions ?" and concludes that the freqi:ent instances in which criminals earnestly de .,ire to make a confession, may-be considered as proofs of an inferior degree of moral corruption, and of the puwer of conscience. " Gratitude, "he says, 46 is there fore due to the Emperor Francis, for the valuable be nefit lie has conferred on his subjects, by his criminal code, in whi:b tilt Judges are expressly ordered to cow' cider that kis not arbitrary will, but the laws that de termine what is riO2t, that no innocent person must :..iffer, and no crinanai be treated more severely than the law prescribes; but that the public safety end the \selfare of the citizens, which is founded on it, require I e punishment of crimes, that justice may therefore be ‘i latcd by ill-judged hatuaoity, - as well as by ems ..3e ii : . our." . - • I_l . 1 iintssels gapes M ire irrivtd tau, 4, vt The fallowing remarkable article is oivendorkr bead al Naples , February 7 k • . • ' l - 6 0 1, 7• . • • The Government had given to several indiviehrels.loo;6ll4 Won part in the late troubles, their Copilots either to Mini hi lIA for life or to'be transported to Tonle.

LONDON SUB-WAY COMPANY. ---.4... • Pursuant to public notice an , adjourned Meeting took place at the City of LOndon Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, at one o'clock on Thursday the 18th inst. to receive the Report of the Committee appointed at a former Meeting, io_December, 1822, to inquire into the practicability of forming Sub-ways in London. i Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS, of Cornhill, was called to this Chair, and stated the object of the Meeting. Mr. linocanottsr, the Secretary, read the Report. 1 Mr.JOHN SIDNEY TAYLOR, Barrister, moved the fine Resolution. He prefaced the motion by a review of the merits of the proposed plan, demonstrating its use-, fulness and practicability. He briefly vliumeraVed the several ineonveniencies which were produced 'by the, present mode of laying down and repairing pipes for,, the conveyance of water and gas, by the obstruction which the frequent breaking up of the footways and the pavement of the carriage way - for this purpose, oc casioned to all the operations of mercantile intercourse. He remarked upon the superior facility with which water would be procured according to the new plan in the dreadful casualties of fire, and the prevention of those accidents resulting from a broken and obstructed pavement, which often proved destructive to property and fatal to life. The Learned Gentleman concluded by enforcing, in a very argumentative manner, the pro priety of carrying into effect an invention which would be a monument to future times of the public spirit, energy, and .science of the present day, and would so essentially contribute to the convenience,: eleanlidess, beauty, and mercantile facilities 4 this great metropolis. A Gentleman connected Withjlpa,;present system of paving, opposed the Motion, on dos gtound that he did not think Utopian practiCable, aldbees . gh he admitted that helves unacquainted with the peinesple en which it was founded, not hafinggieen it, he said, any previous con, sideration. ' e Mr. HVMPIIRRY MARTIN, of the East London Watt Works Company, declared`his decided conviction of d 1 practicability of the plan, but thought it would be very difficelt to carry it into effective operation.' . Mr. J. S. TAYLOR, in reply, went more fully into the merits of the plan, explaining some of its details to the great satisfaction of the meeting. Mr. HENDERSON' seconded the -Motion, which . was 'carried unanimously. . Mr. HARRISON moved the second Resolution ; which was opposed by the Gentlemin who had opposed the previous one, and on similar grounds. . Mr. WILLIAM B. TATs,oa, in seconding the Motion, replied very fully to the last speaker, pointing out to him the means by . which he might inform himself of the nature and practicability of the plan now adopted, which he proved to be founded upon the most obvious principles of mathematical science, and clearly eluci dated by the plans before them, drawn by a very able engineer.—The Resolution was carried unanimously. khe third Resolution was proposed by Mr.Wicttaw HARRISON, and seconded by Mr. WILLIAM B. TAYLOR. It passed unanimously. ..

On Sun day evening, the 45th of January, she had been heard, singing a psalm by some of her acquaintance. In con sequence of her not appearing on the Monday or Tues day, and the shutters of her windows remaining closed, apprehensions were entertained that something bad happened to her. Some neighbours went to the cot tage, and finding the door wide open, they entered, went up to her bed room, and found her lying dead in her bed, covered over with a heap of rags, and, two pillows en her body. She had a'dreadful wound on her left . ternple, entitle fingers of both her hands were broken.—An Won plough-colter, and an old hat, in:the form of a dark lantern, were found in the lower Timm, and the doors exhibited marks of violence, such' as would have been made with the colter.
