Conclude with BORROWED PLUM ES mother-cOuntry among their dearest memories, and as the days are long past when the Home Govern ment could dream of exerting direct authority over a distant and reluctant people, it seems at first sight as if nothing were likely to disturb the pre vailing harmony. However, the actual situation of affairs is something very different, and when we find a series of meetings announced to consider " the present most unsatisfactory relations between Great Britain and her colonies," we are more in crested in the programme than surprised at the Generally speaking, our executive action ays far behind our public discussion. We intention. have faced disestablishment in theory before we get church rates abol6ted in practice ; we are settling the minor details cf compulsory educa tion before our officials are even prepared for a whole sale scheme of national instruction, and we are puzzl- rig over the drawbeks to the ballot while the powers ,hat be are discussing what fresh checks can be put on the malpractices of open voting. In the case of the colonial question, however, all is reversed. Men are anxiously pondering a grave and difficult subject, weighing the arguments for and against giving mili tary assistance to the colonies, when Lord GRANVILLE suddenly appears upon the scene, quite ready and willing to settle the whole matter most promptly and conclusively. Few of us are disposed to consider the colonists altogether in the right ; few of us believe that the faith of treaties and the rights of possession have been as scrupulously respected in dealing with tho natives of New Zealand as they would have bee❑ in transactions with independent whites ; and we cannot forget that the Maories, however superior their race or remarkable their native intelli ge ;ace, are at best but semi -civilized, and cannot, therefore, be held as blameable for acts of cruelty or treachery as Europeans , . This, however, is not the question. Lord GRANVILLE is not asked to give his moral support and unconditional approval to all that has been done in times past. The colony of New Zealand is in the midst of a harassing war, destruc tive to the interests of the settlement, and fatal alike to colonists and natives. The great object to attain is the end of the war, and this cannot be accom plished without proper forces. The mother country has withdrawn her troops by mutual agreement. The colony now asks for troops, to be paid for by the colonists, and the request is met by a distinct refusal. What is more, the English Colonial Minister uses language which lery plainly implies that lie considers it a matter of very little moment if the whole of the British colonies break off their allegiance, and judging from the temper his first attempt has produced in the Southern Seas, it appears very pro bable that should he remain long in Downing-street we shall have to congratulate him on the transfor mation of the Empire into a Kingdom. Whether Englishmen are prepared for so very speedy a settlement of the question may be eoubted, and the assembly of colonists and colonists' friends who gathered on Wednesday in Cannon-street are disposed to prove the contrary. Sir GEORGE GREY, who was present, spoke the feeling of the meeting and of the country at large when he demanded a distinct enunciation of the Minis'erial policy. "If the empire," he said, " was to be disintegrated, let it be done openly, and with the full assent and knowledge of the nation, and not by the act of a single Colonial Minister." If the colonies were to be thrown off, they should have fair warning of the change, and so be able to decide among themselves whether they should coalesce or endeavour to stand separate. But the new theory propounded by Earl GRANVILLE, and apparently de termined upon by the Cabinet, is assuredly very far from expressing the wishes of the English people. Every interest is opposed to it. Our commerce can not do otherwise than suffer from the alienation of our largest customers. Oar military strength will be diminished, as nodoubt some of the fine positions now held by English power will be seized upon by foreign ambition. The interests of peace must suffer, for it has been happily shown that, as the young Anglo- Saxon communities ri:e in the scale of nations, their influence, joined to that of the mother country, would be all-powerful for peace. The interests of those religious and political truths which Englishmen hold so dear must suffer, should England relax her autho rity ; and while, in every point of view, there would be a sense of loss and failure, it is not very easy to ascertain what possible advantage would be gained by the adoption of Earl GRANVILLE'S original and adventurous policy. If any of the co lonies, grown stronger, should seek hereafter to esta blish complete independence, by all means let the ties of union be dissolved amicably and deliberately ; but a hasty and insulting severance of the bond without consulting the interests or wishes of those most concerned is a very different thing. Lord GRANVILLE is treating a colonial empire of which Rome in her palmiest days would have been proud with neither the affection of a mother country ,nor he courtesy of an ally. THE unfortunate petitioners who prayed for the winding-up of the European Assurance Company did not spend their money in vain. Their request was, indeed, refused; but it has been the means of bring ing about a revolution in the affairs of the great office which rthey sought to dissolve. The revelations made in court induced the shareholders to investigate their affairs, and the committee who made the inquiry have been very decisive in their advice. If the company is to retrieve its seriously damaged position, it must, the committee decided, have a very different system of management. It was recommended that the board of direction be changed, and this advice has been followed. Only three of the offending directors have been re-elected. The committee further advised that agency expenses should be curtailed, and retrenchment effected in other directions ; that the Society's position be further examined by actuaries ; and that a call of ten shillings per share be made, to strengthen the com pany's position rather than to meet claims. Besides this, it is thought advisable to reform the deed of settlement so as to allow some of the largest policy-holders to become directors. These measures and especially the last, must command approbation. If faithfully carried out in the future there will be much ground for confidence in the restoration of the Society's stability. These prompt and effective decisions must be gratifying to all who are concerned in this or other offices. Whatever might have been the result if the peti tioners for the winding-up had succeeded, they have undoubtedly done good service in causing this change of management. The case is a remarkable example, too, of the value of publicity. Without this latter aid it is scarcely likely that the petition for winding-up would have effected such great results. It is hardly possible that the dry — and to manypersons unintelligible—report of a Chancery case would have so aroused public attention without the comments and exposures which were given by the press. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the legal decision which condemned the Times for commenting upon a document respecting the European Company, on the ground that the subject was under judicial in quiry, will not be carried to its logical conclusion. That decision is both absurd and injudicious. It is absurd because the whole of the obnoxious articles whicL contained the comments complained of were repro. duced in full, not on l y ill the Times, but in other newspapers ; and, as this time they appeared as part of a law report, their publication was perfectly legal. The articles were unlawful in their original state ; but they might be legally reprinted, and their pub licity multiplied a hundredfold, as part of the case against; the Times The decision is injurious be , cause it is calculated to materially restrict that circu lation of intelligence which is sometimes the only public safeguard. It may be said, indeed, that the only value of the many com mercial trials which have occurred recently has been derived through the press. How many offenders have been condemned in courts of justice ? How many victims of fraud have recovered their property ? It is too notorious that justice, through the inadequacy of the law, has failed to punish commercial immorality, and that public indignation, aroused by the diffusion of intel ligence, has been the only terror of evildoers. Why then restrain the agency by which this retribution is brought about ? 4.z T ' 4l-qv Claj HER MAJESTY.

TRIESTE, Nov. 26. According to advices received from Cattaro the further pursuit of the insurgents of Crisvoscie, who had withdrawn to the inaccessible parts of the mountains, has been found impossible, nor have the authorities been able permanently to occupy the captured forts of Dragali and Zagvordie in consequence of the inclement nature of the climate. The troops have therefore been transferred to head quarters in the strongholds on the seaboard of Cat taro. At several of the important strategical points occupied by the troops bloek houses have been erected. BOMBAY MAILS. GIBRALTAR, Nov. 25.

The result of the Tipperary Election will not cause much surprise, but at the same time there will be a general feeling of indignation, mingled with regret, for the course which the misguided electors have taken. We have in this daring defiance to law and direct violation of established forms and usages, a convincing proof of the mistaken policy which the Government has pursued with respect to the Fenians. Mr. GLADSTONE is in the unenviable position of those who, in attempting to please every one, succeed in incurring general blame, and provok ing sarcasm and ridicule. No doubt his intenti:ns were to do all that was wisest and most fitting in the emergency in which he found himself, but experi ence has shown how greatly he erred in judg ment in permitting the release of the itnprisone I Fenians at the commencement of this year. He cannot plead that he received no warnings as to the mischief that might ensue, for he was told of his mistake by those whose wisdom he coul I have relied on, and who were known to speak in a national sense and not in a party spirit. It was all of no use, th Premier and his colleagues were resolved to sow the whirlwind, and now they and all of us must reap the storm. It is a case of far too serious a❑ import to sanction the attacks of rival schemers in the political world, and when Parliament meets, the Ministry will, doubtless, find that the Opposition are willing to lend their services in devising means to suppress the disturbances that may exist in Ireland ; but there is every cause for reproaching the Govern ment for the vacillating manner in which they have acted. Flushed with the election triumphs, and proud of the grand new policy they were about to inaugu rate, they would hear and heed nothing that did not coincide with their plans. The consequence of this leniency has been that the Fenians have set all re- straints at defiance, and considered themselves quite privileged to act, think, and speak as the spirit of misrule inspired them to do. Too late Mr. GLAD.' STONE discovered his mistake, and endeavoured to stem the tide of rebellion. His replies to the various requests and demands that were made to him to libe rate the remainder of the Fenian prisoners were all that was dignified and statesmanlike, only unfortunately " the hand that kindled could not quench the flame." The unruly spirit of strife and discord far from being subdued by this decision on the part of the authori ties, only waxed fiercer and the gauntlet has now been throw down in earnest in the election of the convict O'DoxovAN Ross: for the county of Tipperary. There can only be one opinion as to the course which the Government must take, they must be as firm and resolved as possible, and while they seek to avoid any collision with the disaffected they must, if occasion requires act with determinatioh. They know now, if they did not before, that false kindness is cruelty, and that to allow the turbulent and dis contented factions to believe that they can have their own way, is to provoke a contest that must at last b:: put down by force, and give rise to loss and vexation of all kinds. It is said that the Tipperary elec- tion was carried by intimidation, and that is very likely, for there are no greater tyrants than these Fenian leaders, when once they have the opportunity afforded to them. It may be for the best that they should show themselves in their true colours, for the sooner the evil is seen the sooner it can be dealt with, but, at any rate, let not the lesson be lost upon our present Government and upon all those which succeed them. It is not safe or wise to allow political prejudices to influence the administration of justice. Those offenders among the Feniana who have already been set free before the expiration of their terms of imprisonment had been duly convicted of a serious crime, and who Clll tell if the prison doors which were prematurely opened may not close again upon them and upon many others who were prompted to indulge their mischievous propensities by the unwarrantable license which was given to their confederates in error. The relations between England and her colonies . are at present in a very unsatisfactory condition. The grand experiment of self-government has been made, and at first sight has answered beyond expec tation, but the young colonies as they rise in the scale of nations find they acquire fresh cares and responsibilities as well as dignities. Their interests are so complex and widespread that it is no easy matter for a Government to be even nominally con ducted a.L.ro.s intervening seas, while it is unques tionably a very difficult tl:ing for a Colonial Minister to enter with any accuracy into the views and feel ings of the colonists. It is certain that some very remarkable mistakes have been made in this re spect, of which Lord GRANVILLE ' S famous Maori despatch is a noticeable instance. Englishmen, generally, arc very proud of their colonies, and thanks to the steady stream of emigration going on, there are few persona who arc not connected more or less directly with the population of our vast settlements beyond the seas. On the other hand, the dwellers in the new lauds usually cherish the recollection of the FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 26. The O f ficial Journal of this morning says :• ~ Special Commissioners have been appointed to assist at the sittings of the Superior Council of Commerce with a deliberative voice." A free-trade meeting was held at Bordeaux yes terday, at which 4,000 were present. The Mayor of the city presided. A manifesto of the Free- Trade Association of the Gironde was read amid great applause. Four Deputies of the Legislative Body, MM. Dreolle, Johnston, Larrien, and Chaix, declared their adhesion to the cause of Free Trade. Their speeches were much cheered. A letter from M. Jerome David, excusing himself for his absence, was read to the meeting. AI. Jules Simon roused immense enthusiasm by a speech which lasted two hours, wherein he de manded the continuance of the Treaty of Com merce and the establishment of Free-trade in all re lations with foreign countries and at home. The Mayor thanked the speaker in the name of the meeting. A short-hand report was taken of the proceedings, which will be widely circulated by the association of the Gironde. The meeting has excited great interest amongst the population of Bordeaux. BOURSE, Nov. 25.—Three o'clock—The market closed as follows :- 4k per Cent. End of month...

Wo do not know of any persons who have earned for themselves so much thanks ie this particular than the eminent cocoa manufacturers, J. S. Fry and Sore, of L radon and Bristol. • Their various improve ments iu the way of food have become so well known, and so widly patronised, that it is almost unne cessary to offer any words in their praise. The Messrs. Fry's great aim 8501118 to have boon the philanthropic one of realising really who'esomo and nourishing beverages for daily use, and medical non of distinction have testified to the successful manner in which they have realised that praiseworthy intention. One of the most remarkable and important of this firm's pro ductions is what has become pretty well known as Caraccas Cocoa. No more delicious, refreshing, nourishing, and wholesome beverage has ever been manufactured. As an agreeable change from the everlasting tea and coffee, if not an entire substitute, it is a most invaluable commo dity. The upper classes Lave Lot been slow in appreciat ing the valuable properties of the Caraccas Cocoa; among them, we understand, the new drink has become an indis pensable. To the working people the Caraccas Cocoa is a great boon. We aro glad to understand that Messrs. Fry have made arrangements whereby the supply of their Cocoa may be looked upon as inexhaustible, for, at all events, a good length of time. LAW IN7ELLIGENCE- .(71iis Day). EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. SADLER V. SMITH. To-day the Lord Chief Baron, Justices Willes and Keating, and Barons Channel), Piggott, and Cleasby heard the appeal, Sadler v. Smith, from the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. It was an action brought by Sadler, a waterman, against the defendant, the proprietor of the Sports awn, to recover the sum of £3OO, the amount of his stakes, which he had deposited with the defendant as stakeholder in a right-away scull ing race, to be rowed by Sadler and Kelly, from Putney to Mortlake. The action was tried at Guild hall, before the Lord Chief Justice, when his lord ship left to the jury certain questions which they answered in the affirmative, whereupon he directed a verdict to be entered for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with leave to the defendant to move to enter the verdict for him, on the ground that the referee's decision was final. A rule was accordingly appliel for and granted, and after bear ing the argument of counsel the Court of Queen's Bench discharged the rule and upheld the decision of the jury. It was against that decision that the defendant now appealed. Mr. Garth submitted that as by the terms of the race the decision of the referee was to be final, the dispute in question was within the jurisdiction, and he having decided it this court could not interfere. Whether the decision was right or wrong it must stand, and no action could be brought until set aside by some court, probably of Equity. The court ultimately gave judgment in favour of Sadler, and in confirmation of the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) ARSON BY A PUBLICAN. John Cusack, licensed victualler, keeping the Dolphin in Red-cress street, was indicted for felo niously attempting to destroy his house by fire. The prisoner, it appeared, had insured the con tents of the house for £6OO, and on the 2d of Augustan alarm was given when the house was en tered and found to be on fire in 14 different places. A hole had been made in the roof to make the draught perfect, and dishes, filled with paraffin, were found in the bar and other parts of the house. The most ample preparation had been made to make the destruction of the house certain. Baskets, con taining paper, and other light inflammable articles, were heaped up in two rooms, all of which had been satured with paraffin. The insurance had been effected for the sum of £6OO, but on an exa mination being made of ter the fire was extinguished, it was found that at the highest valuation the goods o❑ the premises were not worth more than £2OO. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but the learned judge postponed passing sentence. POLICE LVIELLIGENC'E.—IhIs Day. MARLBORO UGII- STREET. COWARDLY ASSAULT A FRESCIEMAN,—OSWIIid Gearl, a French hairdresser, living in Frith-street, Soho, was charged before Mr Newton with assaulting Catherine Smith, an unfortunate. The complainant said that shortly before one o'clock that morning the prisoner wanted her to have a glass of ale, and she went with him into a public-house in Charles street, Oxford-street, and on leaving because she would not allow him to pull her about, he struck her three or four times with his umbrella, cutting her head and hand, and then tried to get away. She asked a man who was passing to go with her after the prisoner, and he did so, and on seeing a constable, she gave the prisoner into custody. James Summers, a butcher, proved seeing the prisoner strike the complainant, and seeing her head bleeding. The prisoner, who spoke very good English, pretended he did not understand the evidence, but it was evident that he did. Mr. Newton fined him 40s. or a month. THAMES. ROBBERY ON THE PLAINS OP THE BATTLE OP WATER- Loo.—George Ward, aged 30 years, a shipwright, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a gold ring, value 50s„ the property of Mr. Joseph Simmons, a blacksmith, of No. G 3, Plains of Waterloo, Ramsgate. The prisoner, and five other London men, bad been at work for the Board of Trade on some works in Ramsgate Harbour, and four of them had beau lodging with the prosecutor in a street called the Plains of Waterloo. They left on Saturday last, and the prosecutor missed a gold ring from a drawer in his bed room the same night. Ile gage immediate information to the London police, and said lie suspected one of three men who had been lodging in his house had stolen the ring, but ho especially exempted the prisoner from any suspicion, believing him to be a re spectable honest man. Thomas Norman, a clever detective officer of the K division who was directed to look after the case, on mak ing inquiries at once suspected the prisoner, and waited upon him yesterday at his dwelling in Plaistow. Nor man asked him if he had not brought away something from Ramsgate that did not belong to him. The prisoner said, what do you mean, to which the detective re plied, I mean a ring. The prisoner then said, I was going upstairs and trod upon a ring. I picked it up and meant to give it to Mr. Simmons. I came away and forgot it, and I have pawned it for 15s. A pawnbroker's assistant produced the ring, which was pledged by the prisoner on Monday last for 15s. In defence, the prisoner said he picked up the ring on the prosecutor's stairs a short time before he left the house, and he and his mates _NYOIO so busy washing hands and faces, packing up, brushing, settling, and preparing to start by the train, which loft Ramsgate ten minutes after wards that he forgot to return the ring. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

The Times says the state of Ireland is disquieting. 'tile election of O'Donovan ROSSO. for Tipperary is an evil omen for peace. The election of a felon is, indeed, abso lutely void; the votes given to him are thrown away, and Mr. Heron will probably be placed in his seat by the election judges, But the fact that through favour or terror a Fenian convict has received the votes of the majority of those who ventured to the poll in Tipperary cannot be extenuated. Bad in itself, it oppresses ne more hccause it is a disappointment of hope. Some thing has been done ; more is about to be done ; ye t no fruit of the policy of justico England has entered upon and solemnly promised to pursue is appearing' There were two great grievances giving occasion to the complaints of Ireland—the Church and the Land. The first has been redressed. The men who accomplished this feat have promised to redress the other grievance, and are now studying the means of removing it. Yet there is no abatement of disaffection. It may even be feared that there has been an increase of it. What is to be done Two things. Justice must be offered to Ireland with unfaltering hands. Crime and encourageMent of crime must be remorselessly repressed. Ireland wants men to rule over her. There is a time when a man feels it incumbent upon him to gird up his loins and be strong ; a time for rising above devices for appeasing oppo sition and bribing uncertain friends ; a time for few words, for plain, prompt, and decisive action. The Ministry, in the face of Ireland is now at such a juncture. It is s imple truth to say that the state of the island is at this mono more critical than it has been for thirty years past. We must go back to the Tithe War before we meet with a parallel to the threatening symptoms everywhere observ able. Nothing would be easier than to drift into an agrarian guerrilla outbreak, The result of such a catas trophe would be swift and certain, but there is no loya l subject of the Queen who would not be put to sham ° if the unity of her kingdom had to be maintained hl domestic war. Two things are necessary to secure n° against this mischance. The Ministry must be prepared with a Land Bill framed with a single eye to justice and statesmanship, and, simultaneously with this project of legislation, Authority must assert itself. It must not b e permitted that treason should flaunt itself in the daylight, and the praises of murder be sung in the very presence of the guardians of the peace. The declaration must go forth that Ireland shall not sink to the level of Greece and the ancient kingdom of the Two Sicilies ; and , to make the declaration a truth, such preparations must be made, at whatever injury to next year's Budget, that there shall be no possible temptation to resistance. The Standard thinks that the Tipperary election is th e , climax of the Irish agitation — the full development 01 those Irish ideas by which the Liberals are pledged t 0 govern Ireland—the closing sentence of the Irish rePIY t° Mr. Gladstone's message of peace. This is the effect of e policy of conciliation ; this the result of twelve months' rule by a Government which came into power on th e strength of its professions of ability to restore peace an d loyalty to that distracted country. Mr. Gladstone may well be hurt and mortified. The electors of the county of Tipperary have elected Mr. O'Donovan Rossa, a traitor, at this moment undergoing his punishment for participation in the crime of levying war against the Queen, obviously and confessedly for the sole purpose of defying and insulting her Majesty and her Majesty's Goverrner"" Tho insult is decidedly made as gross and flagran t ° possible. O'Donovan Rossa has no peculiar claims on th 7 adieisation or gratitude even of the Fenians . lie ! selected not for his exploits while at liberty, but for his peculiarly brutal and ruffianly conduct while in Pr ison. In all probability it is not that his friends think thus t e procure his release ; it is not that they thi nk to obtain any political object by choosing the worst of those traitor° whom even Mr. Gladstone dared not release as a mem ber of Parliament ; their only object is to insult the House , Commons, to bid defiance to the royal authority, an d t° repudiate in the most practical and most offensive '" all respect or gratitude for Mr. Gladstone's past concession.° and all confidence in his future policy. This is th elf message to him, O'Donovan Rossa, M.P.—a inesseg° returning defiance for conciliation and insult for prof er sions of sympathy. The Post declares that the position in w h ich the elec tors of Tipperary have placed Mr. O'Donovan Rossa, bY electing him at the head of the poll , sh ows that in dam' part of Ireland, at all events, there is a s p irit of di" content which will not be laid by any legislation which is within possible enactment by a Briti sh Parliament, nor by any treatment which is vow' cilcable with the duties of the Executive Governissell. Tho support given to Mr. O'Donovan Rossa is, of cour se ' only the opening of a campaign , and is probabll il intended only as a demonstration o f p olic y and as te assertion and establishment of a position. Those Whc: have directed the movement cannot but be aware 0" Mr. O'Donovan Rossa cannot sit in Parliam e nt , and that the votes given for him are practically and electorallf thrown away. His return is invalid, and its accomPl is r went can have only the effect of a challenge. It Pu ts ' ; fact, tho county of Tipperary in the position having thrown down a gage of batt l e , and of havir l flung defiance in the teeth of law , of order, it of the Crown. The Fenians who have t3l"e° this step are manifestly on the way to offence, and if t he c if i should permit the spirit which has hitherto g overne 4 them to direct their future policy it may b e expected the it will not be long before they set their foot on a Pa., t which will bring them into collision with the Governule '. and with law. For that her Majesty's M inisters .. W ill 13 doubt be prepared, and they will not be un mindful of Oa fact that at no time is it so necessary to enforce order o_l maintain peace as when the Crown" and the Parliarneet are occupied with the consideration and remov'l ° grievances. The Daily News refers to Lord Shaftesbury' s letter °ll the subject of the Dorsetshire labourers, and sa y s that bc: gives information of what he, as a most exceptional 1314,1- lord, does to eke out their wages. He le ts them liT to well-built cottages for less rent than they would ha ve ; pay for very ill-built ones ; and gives them, as W O g at- e ei from his letter, an allotment worth two shillings a V t -lc o . But Lord Shaftesbury can hardly represent this P wages. The commissioner was surely right in taking every case what the men earned from their niastergh-.' what they got in return for their labour ; 11°.t the exceptional charity of a philanthropic landlo r d best e ' lle r s upon them. The object is to learn what wages the farni:: t° pay their labourers, and even on Lord Shaftesbury's eo 7. h the sum is, by his own shewing, 12s. 3d. a week, a t best.t hem His lordship, as a philanthropist, houses a,"; nominal rate, and gives them a bit of land—in fact 0'; them a present of some 2s. 3d. a week. The labourer their i f his estate are therefore just so much better off th an 5 neighbours; but they are better off, not because th e l r e much better paid, for the market rate of rages will rule everywhere, but because the soil on which th e y 11 , - , r a tO belongs to a philanthropic nobleman, and he supPl era .„ -- their wages by a most honourable charitY• his indeed, only by his liberal treatment of the poor on estate that Lord Shaftesbury's name comes into this "1 con cussionin at all.
