AIYNITB TH.REAE RY OF THE FOUNDATION OF A USTRALIAN COLONIES. Yesterday being the 70th anniversary of the settlement of the Australian colonies, a dinner took place at the Albion Tavern, to celebrate the event. The chair was occupied by Sir Charles Nicholson, D.C.L., late Speaker of the Legislative Council, New South Wales. The vice-chairmen were—Wm. Archer, Esq., representing Tasmania ; H. C. Chil ders, Esq., ditto Victoria ; E. Hamilton, Esq.) ditto New South Wales ; E. Stephenson, Esq' , ditto South Australia. The stewards were —H- G. Ashurst, Esq., W. F. De Salis, Esq. John.

Lord Andley, litesses. M. Marsh, M.P. , W. M. Manning, LL. D., F. 11. Dutton,G. Elder, E. Willis, H. Hughes, A. Lang horne, R. Sutherland, Walker, R. Brooks, E. Westby, ch. About 160 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Letters of excuse were received from the following noblemen and gentlemen :—The Duke of New castle, Lord Monteagle, Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Stanley, Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Count &aye lecki, Lord Goderich, Captain Gray, Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, Sir C. Trevelyan, Sir C. Fitz- Roy, Mr. Rowland Hill, Lord J. Russell, Colonel Robe, and the Lord Mayor. The CuareadraN, in proposing the health of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the royal family, stated that in no part of her dominions were her Majesty's qualities as a sovereign, or the graces of her private life more appreciated than in Australia, and her health was always drunk with as much en thusiasm 16,000 miles away as it was in England. The Prince Consort, he had reason to know, in addition to his devotion to other matters connected with the prosperity of this country and its depen dencies, was well acquainted with the history and condition of the colonies. On such an occasion he could not but call on the company to express their sympathy with that illustrious lady who had yes terday become a royal bride, amidst the acclama tions of a great people—acclamations which would not be limited to these islands, bat would be re echoed to the utmost parts of the British empire, and nowhere more cordially than in Australia. (Cheers) It was understood that one of the sons of the Queen was determined to enter the navy, and if Prince Alfred should, in the pursuit of his pro fession, chance to visit Australia, he might be sure of receiving a loyal and hearty welcome from the colonial subjects of the Queen. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposes' " the Army and Navy," alluding to the services of our soldiers in India, and stating that, in the event of the con tinuance of the war in the Crimea. Australia would have been ready to take her active share in this greatnationalicontest. She had by her contributions to the Patriotic Fund, towards which New South Wales alone had contributed 70,000/., shown her sympathy with the army and navy engaged in that war. In the naval service Australia felt a deep in terest ; the discovery of that colony was due to the great navigator, Cook, and she owed a debt to many other officers of the navy for services per formed on her sea-board. The toast was drunk with much enthusiasm, and was responded to by Major-General Cumberland and Lord A. Beauclerk. The CHAIRMAN then iproposed " Her Majesty's Ministers, and Mr. Labouchere, the Secretary for the colonies." He said that in arranging the de tails of the present festival, it was intended that it should be regarded simply as a social meeting of colonists who were now in London, and it was not at first desired that it should assume the present character and aspect. The Australian colonists had their local politics ; but in this country they had no political creed but that of undivided allegiance to the Queen and respect for all constituted ministers and administrators. This, as colonists, was their po litical creed in England, and it was also their poli tical feeling in the colonies. It had, however, been suggested that they should solicit the honour of the company of several gentlemen distinguished in po litical life and is the scientific world who had magi fasted an interest in the prosperity of the Australian colonies. That request had been kindly complied with by many of those gentlemen—by the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies, by Mr. Gladstone, by Sir John Pakington, and by Sir R. Murchison—(cheers)—to which last gentleman the Australian colonies owed no small acknowledg ment, on account of his having predicted, by scien tific induction, the existence of gold in those colo nies, and whose predictions, if they had been at tended to, would have led to the working of the gold fields years before they were entered upon. He could not, in proposing the toast, pass by with out acknowledgment the ability, urbanity and kindness which characterised the conduct of the right honourable gentleman who now filled the office of Colonial Secretary. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible for any one to have any intercourse with that right hon. gentleman with out coming to a sincere conviction that he was ac tuated by an earnest desire to do his duty to his sovereign, and to the colonies over which he pre sided. (Hear.) Mr. LA.BOUCIIIICRE, who was received with much applause, in returning thanks for the compliment which had been paid to her Majesty's Ministers, said that the task of administering the affairs of a country like this was always a heavy burden, and the times in which we lived were not calculated to form an exception to the rule. Her Majesty's Government were fully conscious that they could only discharge their duties with advantage to the sovereign and the country, and with honour to themselves, by receiving of the great body of th intelligence of the people. To himself it was a gratification of no ordinary kind to accept the invitation he had received to be present on this occasion to take advantage of the kindness and hospitality which were offered to him, and to avail himself of the opportunity of meeting a large number of gentlemen who were interested in the noblest British colony, and to be able to ex press his deep sympathy in the objects which had assembled them together on that day. There had been times when the relations between the Austra lian colonies and the Colonial-office were not alto gether of an amicable description. (Hear, hear.) He had no wish to go back to those times. (Hear, from Mr. Gladstone, cheers, and laughter.) He believed that that state of things was not owing to the fault of former colonial rulers, who were men of the highest ability and of the purest and most patriotic intentions ' • but it was the f a ult of th e system, under which no man could well perform IA duty. The affairs of a colony thousands of miles off; and of a people naturally jealous of their rights, were conducted at borne under a system full of de lays and complications, and the result could be no other than discontent and dissatisfaction. We had changed all that—(hear, hear)—and had adopted a simpler and wiser process ; and in order to govern the colonies well we had resolved to govern very little—(loud cheers)—and to leave the manage ment of the details of Australian affairs altogether to Australians. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was thought that they could manage their own affairs .1110 r 6 wisely and effectively, and certainly more satisfactorily to themselves. (Hear, hear.) They may have mad e not, the some mistakes • but if they had government of Au s t ra lia would have been unlike any other in t did, the remedy was he world. At any rate, if they their administrationsat hand. They could change the Australians were;loat lie plan which it was found hear hter. slow to adopt. , and lau (Hear, g never from a Govern or of Austral opened a despatch he fou n d it state d that he was in th e midst o f l. but ghter)—tatra iniaterial crisis— (hear, hear, and 'au hel had got rid of one set of ministers and was out for ghteoro)kwh:lfhat, another. (dear, hear, andlau how ever, was the action of a free people ex ercising their rights, and it was conditioonvilered ent to those free institutions and that responalibeli go vernment under which the Australian colonieseweprospering. (Hear, hear.) He had endeavoureril during the time he had been at the Colonial -office to conduct his relations with the colonies in the spirit which was due to their responsible govern ments. There could be no greater mistake than to give a colony responsible government and not allow it to have fair play. Ho had acted on the principle of giving it fair play, and he had found most excellent coadjutors in that policy in the able men who were now the Governors of the Australian provinces. Fortunat.?ly for the two most con siderable of these provinces, on the inauguration of responsible goverment they had the advantage of the co-operation of Sir William Dennison, at New South Wales, and Sir Henry Barkly, at Victoria. (Hear.) One of the most important functions which remained to the Minister for the Colonies was the recommending to the Crown those persons who were to occupy the places of governors in those colonies—so much depended on their sagacity, judgment, and temper. .Only one of the present - governors was appointed s i nce he had been Colonial Secretary—the Governor of Victoria ; but he had had the satisfaction of recommen.ding Sir H. Barkly for that office, and be was sure it would be difficult 1 EIE -grience, be ass on to find a public servant of greater exp. eui l4 temper, or sounder judgment. ter or goveror than those connected w ith an y min to other topics of more enduring and eW high n er I._ is of any colony : been placed in his Ile hands referre,d,t, o F t r h ee e p t e o r a it s y t wtehiAchuele lia." (Cheers.) The presence of the gentlemen he saw arou nd him was a sufficient indication of the interest they sentiment. Most of them w ere personally feltconnected that with that colony, but it was no t n ecessary to be personally connected with it to be enabled heartily to desire its prosperity, for it was a feeling which came home to the breast of every Englishman who desired the happiness and the greatness of his country. Every Englishman, whether connected with the colony or not, would heartily concur on that point, and would earnestly desire that Australia should prosper and flourish for her own sake, and also for the sake of that great empire with which her fortunes were indissolubly connected. She was peopled by our children and our brethren, was bound to us by commercial ties, was a source of supply of minerals and of precious metals to this country, and was constantly increas ing the mutual connexion of the two countries by her reception of emigrants from home. There had happily been an alteration in the system which sent to her a class of emigrants who had been described as having " left their country for their country's good ;" and he was glad that that cause of discord between the two countries was ended for ever. No convicts would now be sent to any colony which was not willing to receive them. It was on the anniver -70 years ago, that a few sary of this day, only Englishmen planted the British flag on the shores of Sydney Cove, and now in those colonies there [ existed 800,000 men of the English race, who were spreading the freedom and the manners of the mo ther country. (Hear,[hear.) The Australian colo nists were not satisfied with the material advantages they possessed, but made a good use of their wealth in the promotion of the arts, of science, of litera ture, and education. The presence of Sir Charles Nicholson in the chair reminded him of one insti tution in Sydney which that gentleman had been mainly instrumental in founding—the University. (Cheers.) To that University a charter had been granted, which connected it with similar institu tions in this country, and which thus formed one of the many links by which Australia was bound to , the mother eountry. (Cheers.) He begged to I propose "Prosperity to Australia," coupling with it the name of one of this most distinguished public men in that colony, the chairman, Sir Charles Nicholson." (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the toast, ex pressed the pride and gratification he felt in presid ing at this commemoration. It was the 70th anni versant/ of the landing of a few Englishmen on the shores of Australia, for it was in 1788 that the first party of emigrants reached the ea§tern coast of the colony. Comparing its condition then with its condition now, there was in the history of the world nothing like its growth. The extent of the acquisitions of the first settlers on its shores was a few square miles, and now the inhabitants occupied a line of coast extending from 2,000 to 3,000 miles. There were persons yet living who remembered the oldest towns of the settlement when they consisted of a few miserable bark huts, and now they had four great cities, the capitals of the provinces, of which Melbourne contained a population of 100, 000, and Sydney of 80,000 ; while Hobart Town and Adelaide were fast following in the footsteps of the others. In those cities there were buildings which would be ornaments to any of the capitals of Eu rope. There were churches, colleges, schools, theatres, shops, and warehouses which might vie with many in the Old World. The period was not far distant when the population of these colonies would be numbered by millions, In the early ages men who acquired empires by conquest were con sidered to be demigods, and surely the founding of modern communities had about it something of the heroic, and was worthy of the ambition of every man. The hon. gentleman then at some length and with great energy enlarged on the capabilities, the productive powers, and the natural resources of Australia, urging that she held the same position towards England as the Indies and South America did to old Spain, but urging a different policy as necessary towards her, with a view to the union of the two countries. After some further remarks of a practical character, especially in reference to the supply of the, at present, deficient population, he concluded with an expression of his thanks for the manner in which his health had been proposed and received. Mr. E. HAMILTON proposed " The House of Lords and Commons," a toast which was worthy of every British subject, and especially of those British colonists who a few years ago had received the advantage of responsible government. He re spected the House of Lords as the descendants of those barons who had won Magna Charta ; and he was proud of the House of Commons, as the repre sentative of a free nation, and the legitimate suc cessors of that body which had secured for the country the Bill of Rights. They had the honour of the company of the Speaker of the House of Commons, and he world state to him that not only were the debates of Parliament familiar to the colo nists of Australia, but the practice and orders of that House of ommons, and the rulings of the Speaker, were adopted as models and authorities in the colonies. There were also present two dis tinguished members of the House of Commons— one of them the most eloquent and experienced of English statesmen—(hear, hear)—and the other One whose conciliatory rule at the Colonial-office was remembered with gratitude in Australia. (Hear, hear.) He begged to couple with the toast the names of Lord Audley ; the Speaker of the House of Commons, who was connected with two of the Australian colonies ; Mr. Gladstone, and Sir John Pakington. (Cheers.) Lord AXIDLET having returned thanks for the House of Lords, The SPEAKER (Mr. E. Denison) said that he cheer fully obeyed the call which had been made upon him, although he did not hold any express mission to that effect, to answer to the toast of " The House of Commons." That house, as the organ of the na tional will, was sensibly alive to all expressions of public sentiment, and well knew hoiv to appreciate such expressions of compliment and respect as had been exhibited by such an assembly as the present. He had been much pleased in accepting the invita tion to join such an assembly, and he came there on pstblic grounds toiwish with as much entkusiasm as any one present prosperity to our Australian co- lonies ; and to express his hope that the intimate connection between them and this country might long exist. He came too under the influence of some private and personal feeling, for he had near and dear relatives in those colonies, one of whom, as the representative of the Queen, had the honour to preside over the colony of New South Wales. He knew that when he came to that room he should hear of that relative nothing but words of kindness • for he knew that all his efforts had been directed tc; the performance of his duty, and to the elevation of the character, and the promotion of the prospe rity of the colony. They had drunk prosperity to Australia, but they had been reminded by his right hon. friend (Mr. Labouchere) that the management of the colony was in their own hands, and its hap piness depended on themselves. He was glad to hear that the rules and orders of the House of Com mons were considered binding in AuAr ilia, and if he might venture to offer one word of advice, he would say, that as they had set up the House of Commons as a model, let them respect its example and traditions of 600 yeas!, and not depart from its rules and orders. They would have temptations to ' depart from them, and many might see shorter ways of attaining what they desired than by adher ing to them. Many public representative bodies had not resisted those temptations. The former assembly of France had given the majority power to control the minority and to contract and shorten debates ; while our brethren at Washington had gone further, and adopted rules by which they could not only shortendebatesbutpositively preclude them He did not wish to criticise those systems, but be thought they might be regarded as precedents which it was not wise to follow, and he once more advised the Australian colonies to stand by the rules and orders of the House of Commons, which gave protection to the minority, and by that means con duced to that moderation which was the great cha racteristic and leading future of our institutions. (Hear.) Thus far he had spoken fur the House of Commons, and he would leave the remaining por tion of the subject to be dealt with by the two members of that house whose names had also been coupled with the toast. Com mons, dwelt a r. GLAZSTONR h entertained i was received with loud cheers, having expressed his sense of the feeling Australia towards the House of Cons place of late n i e .

It had taken many tions to remedy the cvil ; but at last it a g s e .T e r e a. done, and the connexion between England and her 'l oolenies was nuw, in truth, ono of good-will, loyalty and affection. The colonies were now free ; their virtues were their own, and their failings would be PeEeownluye Europe the r pi o n their own also ; and to them equally with England SUN, LONDON, W he rself was committed the duty of maintaining the hi ,noun of the land of their fathers. Sir J. PAXINGTON acknowledged the cordiality w ith which his name had been received, and Et xpressed his pleasure at having the oppor unity afforded him of becoming associated with ventlemen whose names he had long known. Ele heartily joined, as an English citizen, as a m, ember of Parliament, and as one who had been en trnsted, although for a short time, with the ad winistration of our colonial empire, in an earnest w r3ll that the prosperity of Australia might long, coill'inue. He urged the necessity of that concilia torr policy which had been recen tly a d op t e d to wards our colonies. He pointed to the rapid rise of tl \le Australian provinces ; and, as an instance of it, s tated that not 30 years ago, when Lord Aber deen was Colonial Secretary, permission was refused to et nigrants to erect a settlement at Port Phillip on the ground that the colonies of Australia were already sufficiently extensive. That very province had in the last year collected four millions of re venue, its exports were eight millions, and it had shippe d 100 tons of gold. (Hear, hear.) The loyalty and affection of Australia for the mother country bad been signally displayed by a contribution of 150,0001. to the Patriotic Fund, thus bearing a large z elative proportion to the whole sum of 1i million which bad been subscribed. He concluded by expressing a hope that if, in the lapse of years and the maturity of Australia, the time should come when the relations between the mother country and that colony were to cease, the parting would take place in affection and friendship, and with a determination, by means of friendly inter course and strict alliance, to promote the prosperity of both countries. The toast of " The Gold. Fields of Australia and Sir R. Murchison," was proposed by Lord Alfred Churchill ; and was followed by those of " The Governors and Legislative Bodies of the Austra lian Colonies," proposed by Mr. Stephens ; "The Guests," proposed by Mr. Childers; and "The 26th Jan., the Anniversary of the Foundation of the first of the Australian Colonies," proposed by Mr. W. Archer ; after which the company sepa rated at a late hoar. EXTENSIVE DEFALCATIONS OP A POOR-RATE COLLECTOR. On Saturday evening, after Mr. Selfe had disposed of the business of the Thames Police-court, Mr. Howell, vestry clerk of the extensive - parish of St. George's-in the-East, who was accompanied by several of the parochial functionaries and the secretary of the Blackwell Railway, applied for a warrant to apprehend John Fraser, formerly a Chartist agitator, and for several years one of the poor rate collectors of the parish, who had committed extensive defalcations, and absconded. The rate-payers of St. George's-in-the-East have been for a long time expecting that Fraser would be prosecuted ; but the parish functionaries, who have a compromise with Fraser's sureties, have been deliberat ing on the subject for s a months, and the criminal has absconded. On the sth of August, 1857, upon the audit of the poor-rate book by th e t rus t ees o f th e parish of St. George's, there appeared to be a very large sum put down in the arrear column of the bo..k, amounting to upwards of 1,500/. ; and amongst the number of defaulters the London arid Blackwell Railway Company was alleged to be in arrear for 1051. 10s.. being the amount of two quarters' rates, they having, in fact, paid 521. 15s. of that sum on the sth of March, being the one quarter's rate due from them upon the previous January rate, but which sum was added to the 521. 15'. of the April rates, and the two sums forming the 1051. ICs. inserted as being still in arrear on the sth August, 1857. A large number of ratepayers had paid Fraser sums varying from 10s. to 51. each, and had been returned in arrear, and ocoupied houses of which the tenants had pia the rates were returned as empty. It is believed that Fraser had been carrying on this system ever since he was appointed collector, about nine years ago, and there is no doubt he has plundered ithe parishioners of 500/, or 6001. Fraser was dismissed from his office of collector, and actions brought against bis sureties to recover the amount of his defalcations upon a bond given by them to the trustees. Mr. Howell having briefly stated that Fraser was a defaulter, and had embezzled moneys hehad received for and on account of the churchwardens, overseers, and trustees of St. George, Middlesex, commonly called St. George's-in-the-East, said he was directed by the parish officers to apply for a warrant for the apprehension of Fraser. The secretary of the Black wall Rail way Company and various ratepayers were in attendance to prove the payment of rates which Fraser had appropriated to his own use. Mr. Selfe—Where is the defaulter ! Howell—We don't know. Mr. Selfe—Why do you require a warrant ? Mr. Howell—Fraser bas been guilty of fraud and em bezzlement. Mr. Selfe—Where is he to be found? Mr. Howell—That we don't know. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jam. 26. MANSION-HOUSE.---James Malin Was charged under the following circumstances : A policeman said—l saw this man at 8 o'clock in the morning in such a condition as to be wholly unable to drive his horses. He tumbled from one side to the other, and I took him into custody, and sent the cart and horses he was driving to the green yard. The• defendant—l never was drunk in my life before, my lord, and lam sorry that I was so over taken this morning. _ _ The foreman of the defendant's employer said the man had been in the service of his master for eighteen months, and was a most sober and indus trious fellow, and when information was brought that he was in the station-house, it could scarcely be credited. _ _ The Lord Mayor said the good character given of defendant was an unanswerable argument in his favour, especially as he appeared to be really sorry for having got into such a brutal condition. The ciefendant—Depend upo n it I w ill never ge t into such a state again. Mr. Selfe—Have yon an information in writing prepared t Mr. Howell—No, sir ; I was not aware it was required. Mr. Livin, 4 ston, the chief neher,_said that Fraser was charged with a criminal offence, and a written informa tion wai not necessary. Mr. C. Young, solicitor, said he had beeti on the look out for three days for the purpose of opposing the applica tion to grant a warrant for the apprehension of Fraser. There was no occasion. The offence was an indict able one, and the parish officers might have indicted Fraser, and, if a true bill was found, obtained a bench warrant. The parish officials bad compromised the affair with Fraser's sureties, and paid 4001., and now applied for a warrant against him. Mr. Howell—The sureties have paid a large sum of money, but that is no reason why the principal delinquent should escaps. . . John Salmon was sentenced to Imp r i sonmen t f or two months for having been in the unlawful posses sion of a set of reins. Thomas Cane was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for three months, upon the charge of having stolen a handkerchief. He loudly contended that the gentleman who ac cused him was a liar, and laboured hard to per suade the Lord Mayor that he neve r h a d any inten tion of stealing anything. _ He was stated by th© gaoler to have been fre quently imprisoned for thieving, and to hav e been in the habit of defending himself in the most impu dent manner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Richard Stub bins, a corporal in the Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting one person and drawing his bayonet on ?mother. Adam Johnson, 19, Queen Anne's-mews, coach man, saw the defendant knock down a little boy and beat him with the knobbed end of his stick. He told the defendant that it was a shame to ill-use such a boy. The prisoner replied he would serve him the same, and then struck him and knocked him down. The defendant drew his bayonet, but. his companion called out to him not to do that. This statement having been corroborated by a witness named Dennis, The soldier, in defence, said he was surrounded by a number of persons who wanted to muzzle him, and what he did was in s e lf-d e f ence . The complainant said this was not correct. Mr. Beadon inflicted the fine of 5/. or two months. The fine was paid. - LAMBETH.—An application was made on be half of a Mrs. Mary Ann Brown for a certificate under the new bill to protect her property from her husband. It appeared that the parties were married in 1850, and that in 1854, the husband having neglected his wife and children had been summoned to this court by the parish. At that time the husband had a situation in the Gene ral Post-office, with a salary of 2501. a year, and he undertook to allow his family 255. a week. In a short time after, however, he lost his appointment, and from that time to the present had done nothing for his wife and two children. Mr. Elliott, on hearing the facts, at once granted the order as required. SOUTHWARK. —John M c Carthy and Owen M'Sweeny were charged before Mr. Burcham with assaulting Mr. John Francis and Mr. Arthur Jor r ell, medical gentlem en connected wit h St. Thomas's Hospital. Mr. Ed win, of the Dover-road, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Francis said that shortly before one o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last he was with Mr. lorrell and another gentleman connected with St. Thomas's Hospital, near the latter place, having just left a patient. While bidding each other good bye, they heard an uproar in Maze-pond, which induced them to go and see what was the matter. On their arrival there they saws drunken man being carried into a house, surrounded by several persons, and while witness was passing, Mead hy came up to him, and asked him to fight. He refused to do so, and M'Sweeny rushed out of a house and struck him a violent blow on the head, which caused him to fall. Each time he tried to get up he was knocked down and kicked, and had not one of his friends fetched a constable, he would have been half-murdered. As it was, he was so ill-used that be could not leave his bed for 24 hours. In cross-examination, witness said he was only with his two friends, and they were all sober. They did not make any noise or call out " Fire." The assault was quite unprovoked. Mr. Arthur Jorrell said he was with Mr. Francis and another medical gentleman. They were quite sober, having just left a patient. When they heard the noise in Maze-pond they went there, and M'S weeny rushed out of the house and committed the unprovoked assault on Mr. Francis. Their friend went for a constable, and as soon as he came in sight the cowardly ruffian, M'Sweeny, ran away a a n n d d t h r e i ed was to given v e m t e c i house an t r o tteh t ye h u e settreudc yk. again. voitnn etshis e onw atyh et Witness, ositdhee that station-house otht net ht heeeapd complainants i r n t the presence of the constable, 81 M. however, assisted the constable to pull him out, of the defendants Mr. Edwin said neighbourhood ter th and on his clients going out to see eiebdyical students got up a cries of " Fire " and were the aggressors.

Mr. Sells—Give him into custody whenever and wherever you can find him. You want no warrant to justify you in giving a felon into custody. Mr. Howell—We don't know where he is gone to. Mr. Selfe—Nor do I ; what would be the use of my warrant ? Mr. Howell—We require a warrant to justify 113 in taking the delinquent into custody in the event of 'our tracing him. __ _ THAMES. —"About six weeks ago a lunatic was t hi s court in custody s t a ted that he found him. committing a THAMES' of a police con misdemeanour gam . et of Mile -end-old-town, where in the Mile -end-road, near the City The presiding magistrate ordered that the lunatic should i be removed to the work guardians of Milesut broughte n , _ i who re mained. -end-new-town, now at tendedof the City parishes, and stated that hheoMuhsares.osfSinotchueethwell, vestry clerk, and clerk to the brought to the Mile -end Workhouse, board of to o btain an order for the removal of the he had escaped from an asylum in the board of guardians i instantly admitted him, and ordered that he should receive the attention which the proprietor of th he required.

' --.8 paying relatives had died, and there appearing no chance of repay ment, Dr. B r yan had resorted to an expedient, which he (Mr. Southwell) thought was unworthy of his position, to rid himself of the burden. It appeared that one of Dr. Bryan's attendants took the lunatic from his master's asylum to a public house in the City of London, engaged a bed, slept there with the lunatic, and in the morning took him to the City Union Workhouse, in the Bow road, claiming admission for him there. The porter of the City union -house very properly refused to admit the lunatic without any order from the re lieving officer in the City ; whereupon Dr. Bryan's man left, stating he would go into the City and obtain an order ; but instead of doing so be turned on his heel and l e f t the lunatic in the Mile-end road, where he teas found. Thence he was sent to the Mile-end workhouse. To show Dr. Bryan's connection withthe affair, the following letter from him was read :-... Mr7Selfe—You require no warrant. Anybody may take him, or give him in cbarge, if the facts are as you state them. Except in ♦ery special cases it is better that no warrants be granted. If I grant my warrant, and he is taken into custody upon it, no one will be liable if he is wrongfully arrested ; bat if he is taken into custody without a warrant, the party charging him will be liable if his arrest should happen to be illegal. Mr. Howell and the deputation who accompanied him then withdrew. Raroum Manilla AT RorTow.—A public meeting was held at Royton, on Thursday evening, for the pur pose of considering the subject of political reform. Mr. Miles Taylor having been called to the chair, a com mittee was appointed to frame resolutions and prepare a petition to Parliament to be submitted to a general public meeting to be called on an early day. A resolu tion was also adopted, directing the committee to embody the following principles in the first resolution —A. right to vote for a member of Parliament by every male adult of sound mind, untainted with crime, who has attained the age of 21 years ; that all voters have the protection of the ballot ; the abolition of the property qualification of the members, so that the voters may send whom they choose to represent them : that members of parliament be paid for their services, so that pecuniary difficulties may not prevent a man from going to parliament if the people think proper to send him ; that the electoral districts be made as equal as possible, in order tbat every member may represent an equal number of electors, and that the elections take place annually, so that a district that happens to get a representative who does not meet the views of the electors may have the chance of removing at the end of the year. The meeting was suite unanimous.—Manchester Guar dian. [Anynauseam - TA—Messrs. Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food has 'at length solved the problem which has kept the learned and studious at cross purposes in all ages, from Hip pocrates to Abernethy. The authentic testimony of fifty thousand known witnesses has proclaimed the joyful truth that, in stages of dire disease, where medicine had totally failed, the use of this preparation has restored vigour, cheer fulness, ease of mind and body, and raised sufferers from a condition in which death was longed for as a release from lingering woe, to one in which life is not only prolonged, but cherished, because enjoyed. Take one instance, described by the Rev. J. W. Flavell, Rector of Ridlington, which is a specimen of thousands upon thousand s o f s i m il ar testi monies. The reverend gentleman says :____." Mary Emerson (a servant of Mr. Flavell's), aged thirty, has for the last eight years, been in delicate health. Her complaint was dyspepsia in an aggravated form, and she suffered every two or three days with violent attacks of spasms in the stomach and chest, being constantly sick after partaking of food, how ever small the quantity, or carefully chosen the quality. Sh o had a constant pain in the side, and became so much debili tated that it was with great difficulty she could walk up stairs. She received occasional relief from medical treatment, but never for long together, and at the commencement of this year her state was most deplorable." After using Messrs. Du Barry's preparation for some time, as an article of food, she recovered her health, cheerfulness, and activity. The rev, gentleman goes on to say :—" It is not in my power to express her feelings at the change, which, indeed, is a matter of astonishment as well as thankfulness to all here." Such certificates of the salutary efficacy of the dint (for it is dis• tinctly to be understood that it is neither a drug, um' what is commonly called a medicine, but an agreeable and palat able article of food) are pouring in dally, and can leave no doubt in the minds of intelligent persons, that it stands aloue and unapproached—far and away--at the head of every thing which science has yet discovered for the preservation of tealth, and the eradication of pain and disease Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pro 121b. feneors of Chemistry: Dr. A.

I will sign the HAMM ERSMITH.—John Eldridge Spratt, was charged with re siding at 66, M argaret -street, C aven dish -square, assaultina and beating h i s wife, Sarah Ann Spr a tt . Mr. Lewis, of G reat Marlboroug h- s t re et, appeared for the defendant, w h o plea d e d no t g uilty. The complainant, a well-dressed young woman, 'EDNESDAY EVENING, _JANUARY 27, 18x8. deposed that she resided at 39, Brompton-row. She was married to the defendant in 1849, but she left him about two years ago, and had not lived with him since. She had two children, a boy about four years of age, who was living with her father, and a little girl about seven, who had always been under witness's protection. On Friday night, the 15th inst., about half-past 10 o'clock, her husband came to her house with another man and endeavoured to carry off her child by force. They were both in bed at the time. He knocked at the door, and was admitted by a lady who resided on the ground floor. Witness's servant got up and went down stairs to the defendant, and told him that witness had retired to rest. He used very disgraceful lan guage, and followed the servant up-stairs into wit ness's bed-room, where he dragged the child, who was in her night clothes, out of bed. She told him that he should not have the child without he took legal means, and more especially as she was un dressed. He then called out for a blanket to wrap round the child, and commenced dragging the clothes off the bed. Witness screamed, and some of her lodgers came to her assistance. The defendant carried the child down stairs, and he there gave her over to his companion. Witness resisted the child being carried off in that way, and her husband commenced striking her in the chest. It was not done by pushing her away. She called in the police, and they refused to allow the child to be taken away iu her night clothes : her husband did not take away the child. By Mr. Lewis—Her husband had never applied in the legal way to have the custody of the child. She denied that she was cohabiting with any man. She never passed by the name of Mrs. Campbell. She had an aunt of that name. She considered those questions ought not to be put to her. Mr. Lewis said he wished to show that the witness was not a proper person to have the cus tody of her child. Mr. Ingham said the question for him to decide was whether any assault had been committed. If the defendant was justified in going after his child then there would be no assault, but if on the con trary he had no right to take away his child, then there would be an assault. The wife said her husband had endeavoured to obtain a divorce by perjury. She did not object to give up her children if he took the legal steps. Her proctor had advised her not to give up the children without her husband Arst applied to the Lord Chancellor for a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Ingham said that was the point. He would see whether the defendant had any such authority. a Mr. Lewis said he had no writ to produce. Mr. Ingham wished to know where the answer was to the case. The factsappeared to be admitted. Mr. Lewis said it was simply that the defendant went after his child, believing that the mother was not the proper person to have the custody of it. If he was no tjustified then he (Mr. Lewis)vrould submit the assault was not a serious one. Mr. Ingham agreed that the assault in fact was a mere technical one. The wife said her object was to prevent her hus band coming and dragging them out of bed in the presence of another man. Her lodgers were highly respectable, and of course they would not stop if there was a repetition of such conduct. Mr. Lewis begged to say his client intended to take the legal steps to secure the custody of his ohildren. Mr. Ingham then said he would bind the defen dant over in his own recognisances in the sum of 501. to be of good behaviour for the next 12 months.
