(Continued from our Paper of Aug. 27.) Yon cannot believe that the men of New South Wales Think absolutely of nothing but wool. I did not say so. I said, only, that wool forms their most interesting subject of con versation ; that it is the ruling idea of the colony. Other matters obtain occasional notice. S,rue of these I will mention presently. But first, you must be made acquainted with a very curious feature of the colonial mind. Remember where I am. lam standing, n my head downwards, as it. were,. almost under your feet. Your letter has made me think of you ; but I am bound to confess that, for two or three years before 1 received it, the image of my old friend, my school croney, my college churn, the most intimate companion of my early and enthusiastic manhood, did never once cross my perverted thoughts. In all that time never thought of you; not even once. Are you surprised ? Remember where lam ! Should we love our parents, if, after the period of in fancy, we were never reminded of them ? Not more than the beasts that perish, which have no reason for keeping in remembrance the authors of their being. It thus with the emigrant a far distant land. He is severed, by impel ions circumstances, from all that he once held dear, and is fixed immutably where nothing occurs to remind him of his birth-place. As a-plant, torn • from the soil in which it germinated, and plaecd in one of a different nature, gratinally.aeconnno dates itself to the new situation, and at lent-e,th flourishes as if it had never been removed, so - the. wanderer from home, sbotild he once take root in a foreign land, feels and acts as if he had been born there ; his affections are utterly divorced from objects of early attachment : they are wed ded to the new abode ; he forgets the old coun try ; the new country becomes. to him all in all. This is peculiarly true . of men, who, by emi grating, exchange poverty for comparative wealth, anxiety for peace of mind, misery for happiness. If that were possible, it would be still more true of poor emigrants who obtain. property in land. Nearly all my fellow-coloni s t s were once poor, and are now lords of the soil.

Ann Wheeler, who was on the preceding day examined, charged with having attempted to enter the house of her master, Mr. Austin, of Fins bury-Square, at two o'clock iii the morning, over the rails, was again brought up, and the justice•room was crowded, the case having excited'mtich curiosity. Mr. Austin was present during the examination. She appeared to be the very picture of penitence, and she shed tears frequently. The dashing girl had completely sunk into the kitchen-maid. The following circumstances were detailed :—The unhappy prisoner had been but a short time .in the service of Mr. Austin, who had received a most ex cellent character of her from her last mistress, and who seemed to have allowed her a greater latitude of indulgence than servants usually can boast of. She had been permitted to order from the baker, butcher, and other tradespeople, for the use of the house in the absence of her master and mistress, and it was found upon inquiry that she had taken advantage of the liberty, for she riot only far extended the amount of board wages in her orders, but she raised contri butions upon certain of those who supplied her in her master's name. From one she took up a sove reign, from another half a sovereign, and so on, and it is believed that she did this for the entertainment of a young gentleman, who "kept company" with her, and occasionally assisted her over the The wine and spirits, which had been under lock and key, had also disappeared. In fact, things ap peared in the house as if some - of those carousals which are designated " high life below stairs" had taken place. _ _ _ QUEEN-SQUARE.

A friend told him one day he did not relish venison till there was a struggle between him and the maggots which should have it ; and this man was indeed an epicure.

Mr. Dunsby—Then we have Mr. Boyce, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Bonsor, Mr. Pocklington, and Mr. Hicks. These are the gentlemen who have been complaining of the proceedings of the inquest as vexatious, and that we were. needlessly keeping.the market in a ferment.

Catherine Scammaton lived at Newington-ccm mon, and was present at the marriage of the pri soner with the last witness. They were both Roman Catholics, and married by a Roman Catholic priest. The certificate of the marriage was here produced. Sarah Farence, a pretty-looking young girl, stated that she was married to the prisoner on the 2d of December, 1827, at Chelsea NeW Church. Mr. MARRIOTT asked her if she was willing to pro secute ?—Sarali Farence, crying, replied she had no wish to prosecute him; he had always behaved.very kiNd to her, and she had no fault to find with him whatever.

He added that unfortunately Sarah was in the family way by him, and she threatened to hang herself if he did not marry her, but it was not before he caught her with the rope round her neck that he consented to the match, and he married her to save her life, for he was certain that she would makeaway with herself if he did not.

TILE KING V. PERSE. William Henry Perse was indicted for the mur der of Paul Slattery on the Bth July last, at Carrick on-Suir. This case excited very great interest, in conse quence of the defendant being a chief constable of . police, and because the Crown allowed the friends of the deceased to select their own Counsel, and to conduct the prosecution. A jury composed of seven Catholics and five Protestants were sworn. Mi. SHEIL stated the circumstances which led to the trial. The disastrous event which formed the subject of it took place on the Bth June last, in Carrick-on-Suir. On that day a division of the 65th Regiment marched into the town; the 76th Regi ment were quartered there; some of the soldiers of both regiments met in a tavern. The question of Catholic emancipation was brought into discussion, and the merits of Catholic emancipation went through a process of military review. The soldiers of the 65th Regiment differed with those of the 76th Regiment, and one of the latter rushed into the street and appealed to the people, who were suffi ciently ready to become his auxiliaries; the town was crowded; it was a holyday, and this disturb ance among the military threw the people into exci tation ; a tendency to riot spread among the people; however, no serious violation of the peace took place at this period. Captain Peise was at dinner during this affray at the hotel, and on hearing of the disturbance, proceeded to quell it; he met a piquet of the 76th, consiating of nine soldiers, and placed himself at their head, and as he advanced he was joined by the police—with this united body he pro ceeded to the West-gate, where the soldiers of the 65th were rioting, and he put an end to the disturb ance. He then marched to Graysten-street, where he drew up his forces; this was about eight o'clock. Captain Gibbons came down the street mounted upon a very spirited horse, rode down Graystone street, and the street being crowded, offended the people by the heedless rapidity of his progress.— He was assailed by three or four stones. Captain Perse then cried out that if another stone was thrown he would order the soldiers to fire. This moment another stone was thrown, and Captain Pere gave utterance to the word" fire." This invocation was . obeyed—three soldiers discharged their muskets, when the serjeant called on the others not to fire, but the shots had taken effect—a young woman who lives by was wounded, and a poor boy fell to the ground, and it was for his death that Captain Perse was then upon his trial. Several witnesses were examined in order to sub stantiate the statement of the Learned Counsel; but the evidence for the defence was of such a na ture that the Jury acquitted the prisoner. OP Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, an slegantly dressed female was observed walking near the basin in the Green-park in a very agitated state, when on a sudden she made a spring and plunged into the water. Fortunately, she was observed by CROSS, belonging to Chelsea Water-works, who ran to the spot ; and although the water was a considerable depth, he jumped in, and by great exertions succeeded in dragging her out of the water, but in so exhausted a state, that she was quite insensible. Tnoszas GRIST, one Of the officers belonging to the park, and several others came up and conveyed her to Saint George's Hospital, where every care was taken of her. She appeared to be-about 30 years of age, and was dressed in black Olt. _ . The answer was, that it did not appear that any spoliation had taken place, except in the instance of eatables and drinkables: whoever did Miss Wheeler the favour of visiting her over the rails, certainly was indebted to Providence for a good appetite. It was further stated that Miss Wheeler was, without question, in the habit of spending her nights out of the house, and in elegant disguise too. It was found-that the clothes of a young lady who had been on a visit to the house, were very much soiled and dilapidated, although they had never been worn by the owner. The clothes were, however, all re stored to their proper place. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the prisoner's boxes had been searched ? To this it was answered, that the search after stolen property had been quite unsuccessful ; but there was found in the corner of her box,. mapped up carefully, a document which might have led to those unseasonable and unfortunate assignations, which at last terminated in the watch-house. Here a paper was handed to the Lord Mayor, in which was folded a card, on which were written the fol lowing words;— " Mrs. Smith, No. 49, Went worth.street, dress maker. " Lawful questions resolved." The paper was evidently an answer to the ques tion — a What sort of a husband shall r have, and how soon shall I have him ?" The LORD MAYOR ;;;d the answer aloud. It stated, that the interrogator should have a nice re spectable tradesman, who should be a most tender husband, and be the father of six children, of which she should be the happy mother; that certain planets were visible at their birth, and in conjunction at the time, a symptom which betokened feliCity, and that the union should take place as surely as the prophet who wrote the paper had the power of predicting. The LORD MAYOR thought the last condition a very reasonable one. 'i'he prisoner did nothing all this time but weep. Mr. Austin acted with a great deal of humanity. He showed not the slightest disposition to have the girl punished any further, but hoped that what had taken place would not only serve as a caution to the masters of houses, but to the servants. The LORD MAYOR, whose countrywoman she is, directed that the young woman should be sent home to Wales, after having advised her never to take the advice of a ruler of the moon and stars again. GUILDHALL. Mr. Dunsby, the Foreman of the Inquest of Far ringdon-within, attended before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, for the purpose of tracing whom he ought to prosecute for causing the carcase of a cow which had died three days after calving, to be brought to Newgate-market for human food, on the 22d July. Mr. Dunsby said that a journeyman butcher, named Wace, in the service of Mr. Woodham, sales man, had been held in recognizances for receiving a part of this animal for sale; and it appeared in the investigation that it had been brought from a farm near Hitchen, belonging to Mr. Collinson. It had been stated to him that Mr. Collinson was in town, arid had taken no part in causing it to be sent to London, and Mr. Dunsby now wished to ascertain whether he ought not to indict the butcher, Gas coigne, on whom the blame was supposed to rest. There were two witnesses in attendance. Mr. Payne, the second clerk, observed that as no defendant was present, the witnesses could only be heard as laying a ground for summoning some person. Mr. Collinson's solicitor assured the Alderman Mr. Collinson knew nothing about the death of the cow till three or four days after it had occurred. A labourer in Mr. Collinson's service corroborated the statement respecting Mr. Collinson's absence from the farm, and said that the cow was dead be fore the butcher was sent for, and that the intention of getting the butcher was only to flay the animal to save the hide. Mr. Gascoigne's man said he went to the farm to dress the beast, and having done so he pronounced it unfit to be sent to London, but Mr. Collinson's housekeeper disputed his judgment, and gave her opinion that it would do, and directed it should be sent. He reported the state of the meat to Mr. Gascoigne, who, without inspecting it himself, and upon the housekeeper's order, directed witness to send the carrier. It became a question whether the carrier was answerable for bringing such meat to the market, the Alderman and Mr. Dunsby inclining to the opi nion, that as being merely an agent, obeying the directions of his employers, he could not be reached. Mr. Payne, however, said the rule that the principal was responsible for the acts of agents did not extend to criminal cases. Sir PETER LAURIE said, there was so much doubt and difl'►culty as to who was to blame, that he should recommend no further steps to be taken in this case. Mr. Dunsby said, if the Alderman dismissed the case altogether, he should, in duty to the public, go before the grand jury against all the parties, Mr. Collinson, his housekeeper, the butcher, and the carrier. Sir PETER LAURIE replied, that if Mr. Dunsby shot at the four, he would perhaps hit one; but he (Sir Peter Laurie) thought the case a doubtful one; and, disliking to see his decisions reversed, he would not interfere. Mr. Dunsby said Sir Peter Laurie was mistaken in supposing the examples already made had worked a cure. Oh the contrary, there had been 12 or 14 seizures of rotten meat within the last eight or ten days, although the publi c h a d h eard nothing of them. Mr. Fisher, did not you condem n four rotten sheep yesterday, which you found at the shop 'of Zr. Etonsor, in Rose-street, Newgate-market ? Mr. Fisher—Yes. Dansbr—You stiaci find 0 3911dcmned a sheep Yesterday an elderly gentleman named Hedge who for upwards of forty years had been a resident of Essex -street, Strand, where he has carried on the business of a solicitor, came before Sir R. BIRNIE, and stated, that on the night of Saturday, or morn ing of Sunday last, his house had been entered by thieves, and robbed of property consisting chiefly of clothing and foreign coins, to the amount of upwards of 701. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that very little good could be expected from the nightly watch, constituted as it was at present. He hoped, however, that as soon as Mr. Peel's patrolling system should come into play, an occurrence such as had been described would not rarely occur. Mr. Hedge asked when the new arrangements would be completed. Sir R. BIRNIE replied, that he believed they would ceme into operation about Michaelmas. Mr. Hedge hoped that he should then be left un molested. This was the second time his house had been entered. On the first occasion he was robbbed of property to the amount of nearly 7001. Amongst the articles were several deeds and papers, of no value to any person but himself. These were re turned to him in a day or two after the robbery. Amongst them was his banker's book, which had two pockets, in one of which he had placed 30 notes of the Bank of England for 1/. each, the other con tained 27 sovereigns, and both pockets were sealed With wax, which bore the impression of his coat of arms. Strange to say, the book was returned with out any attempt having been made by the thieves to break either of the seals, although they must have known well enough that both pockets contained cash. Sir R. BIRNIE observed that it was certainly a surprising circumstance. He then directed an officer to accompany Mr. Hedge,. and afford him every as sistance both for the detection of the thieves and the recovery of his property. Last night Mr. Rawlings, clerk to the overseers of St. Martin's parish, appeared before Mr. MIAs to prefer an information against Mr. John Batson for keeping a common brothel, situate at the corner of Oxendon-street, James -street, Haymarket. The house, it appears, has been established about four months, and is fitted up in the first style of elegance. In appearance it is a house merely for the, reception of gentlemen who might wish to take a quiet bottle of wine, the proprietor having his name over the door as a licensed wine retailer. In consequence, however, of repeated complaints made to the parish officers respecting the manner in which the house was conducted, the noises which pro ceeded from it at all hours of the night, and the scenes of indecency that were constantly exhibited, the pads!' authorities determined to put an end to 'the naisance by the present summary proceeding. Mr. Rawlings stated, that the parish officers had made repeated applications at the house, for the purpose of finding Mr. John Batson, the proprietor, but without effect, as he studiously kept out of the way to avoid them. Upon stating this circum stance* to Sir Richard Birnie, that Magistrate had told him (Mr. Rawlings) that he need not be very nice about the matter, but send at once to the house and take the person into custody whom he should find in the management of the concern. Acting upon these directions, an officer named Mundy, then present, went •to the house that afternoon and took the young woman into custody, whom he found act ing as the mistress. A well-looking young woman was then brought forward. She was dressed in a very flashy style, and, in answer to the Magistrate, said her name was Eliza Lovell, and that she was entrusted by Mr. John Batson, a gentleman of 60 years of age, with the care of the house. She had lived in the house from the time of its opening, but she knew nothing of Mr. Batson prior to that period. A Solicitor, who appeared on behalf of Mr. Bat son, said that Mr. Batson was perfectly well known to the gentleman who had instructed Mr. Rawlings to adopt the present proceedings. Mr. Rawlings—To whom do you allude, Sir ? Solicitor—you know who I mean very well. I mean the proprietor of the Fives' Court. I under stand it was from him you have taken your orders, Mr. Rawlings did not deny this assertion, but said that the person alluded to would answer for himself. He then pressed Mr. Halls to compel the young woman to put in bail to answer the charge ut the Sessions. Two persons then came forward to bail the de fendant, and the necessary recognizAnces having been entered into, she was suffered to depart. MA RLBOROU GH-STREET. Richard Archer, the driver of one of Clotid' s Turnham-green and Kew stage-coaches, was brought to the office in custody of goddaril the Officer, under a warrant charg - ed with ask:tanking a gentleman named Howard, residing in the Temple, After the case had been; - heard, it was settled, by the wish of Mr. Howard, that the defendant should pay I/. into the hands of the 11; , ,gisirate for the use of the poor,—that he should pay ss. for the damage dope to the umbrella, which it would cost to repair itiandin pay the costs besides, which were 7s, Pd„ amountin g the whole to 1/. pg. 6d.—and that the defendant should f ur th er th en make an apol ogy to Mr. 4 0 NYIrti for his conduct. Having done all this, the defendant was dis charged, with an intimation from the Magistrate, that the next occasion of a similar kind, on which either himself or any other of his fraternity should UNION-HALL. AUDI ALTERAAI PARTEAI.-.—TIIERE ARE AI, YVAYS Two SIDES TO A STORY.—Yesterday morn ing an extremely interesting-looking young female, with a philanthropic-beaming blue eye and a love dimpled cheek, appeared to prefer a charge against her husband, a "jolly young Waterman," for re fusing to live with her, or to allow her wherewithal sufficient to keep body and soul together. The complainant (who was rather modishly at tired), in the sweetest accents imaginable, and with a languishing droop of the head a la Juliet, whilst the body of her dress, ever and anon, arose in gentle undulations as " her bosom heaved a sigh," thus stated the case :—" If you please, gentlemen, be fore I was married I was in a milliner's establish ment in Oxford-street. One day, having occasion to go to Wauxhall-bridge on business, I got into a wherry, and was rowed there by the young man before you. He was werry agreeable, and (heigh ho!) made love to me. lie told me he earned 3/. a week, and would marry me if I would have him. After some time I consented, and we were made man arid wife three days afterwards. (Heigh ho !) It was a sad mishap for me, for we have only been married four months, and now he has turned me out of doors, and swears he will have nothing more to do with me. Oh ! it is too bad. I wish I had never gone to \Vauxhall-bridge in his wherry, for it is werry crooel and unkind of him to treat me in this manner when he well knows I love him so werry much. (Heigh ho!)" Hereupon tears glis tened in the fair narrator's eyes, and, as they chased one another down her soft cheeks, she contrived, with the assistance of a lemon-scented white cambric pocket-handkerchief, to do the amiable in the pret tiest manner imaginable, so as to excite the sympathy of the Magistrate and the hearers. Magistrate—What have you to say to this un feeling conduct? Defendant—Why, please your Worship, as to the first part of the story, about the young woman coming into my wherry, and as how we was married in consequence, is all that's correct. As to her millinery establishment, that's all moon shine, for I have found out she has been on the town these five years. I was regularly taken in with her. As she says is werry sorry she ever came into my wherry, so am I werry sorry for it. too; and I am werry sorry my wherry didn't upset and drown either one or both before she ever became my wife. She's an out-and -outer; one of the most noto riosetest characters going. You musn't mind, your Worship, her pretty mock-modesty face. Complainant (sobbing violently)—Oh ; crooel, crooel George, how can you say so ? Defendant— George me, no Georges. It won't do with me. You would deceive the werry devil till he know'd your tricks. Well, your worships, when we was married I had a snug little cabin of my own, nicely fitted up, but I soon found out that when I was away, dandy-dressed gemmen used to visit her. She portended that it was only a little fun. "is it, in deed," says I; " why, then, the sooner you gives up such fun the better, for I stands no nonsense." One day when I went home, -- me if she hadn't stripped the house of every thing in it, leaving int neither rag nor bag, nor bed to lay down on. " Well," says I to myself, " here's a pretty piece of business ;" but I dida't mind it much, thinking it was a good riddance of bad rubbish; but, b., Jove, she had the imperti nence t o run i nto d e b t i n my name, and 1 was arrested because 1 couldn't pay the people. Now, as she finds out I have got a decentish place again, she wants to come back to me, but I'tn not to be bamboozled out of my goods a second time by her. A precious fool penple would think me, with a witness to it, Magistrate—But if you do not support your wife I must send you to priSon. Defendant—Any where you please, your worship. lam at your service. The way I came to be bothered again with her is this :--I went into u public-house to get a pint of beer, and there was my wife sitting in a room, treating a great ugly black sailor that she has taken a fancy to to break- fast. When I went out P E be followed me and wanted money, and because I would not give her any she gave me in charge to a constable. Magistrate—l am sorry you have been captured in this way by such a trimlooking frigate cruizing under false colours, The law makes no allowance for a man's wife being a prostitute, which it is evident is the case here, though I never saw modesty better personified amongst that class. You must allow her half-a-crown a week. Defendant—lt is quitir, im,onsistent with reason to do any such thiyig. Mezistvte 7 —Then you must go to prison. The ", jolly young waterman" vehemently pro tested against such a decision; but, as Brixtdn and the treadmill suddenly appeared before his eyes, still saying-- I new consent—consented," he said ; as he left the office. "It was a werry pretty story—but he would take werry good care how he meddled with young women again in his wherry." His frail fair rib erniied sweetly on the magistrate, thanked him for his kindness, curtsied, and withdrew. The eccentric Duke of BRUNSWICK seems to have made the late Emperor Pim. of Russla his model. His Imperial INIAJEsTv, in one of his vagaries, challenged his late Majesty, GEORGE AIL, and Brunswick's Duke has thought fit to challenge our present Sovereign, in ons of his frolics. It is really surprising what pains soret' persons take to make themselves ridictflvua• Wonder riot when I tell you that they regard Old England with no more concern than a flou rishing English yeoman bestows upon New South Wales. The above was a necessary introduction to some account of colonial politics. Into what parties are we divided ? What are our standing questions ? As with you, we have " Government" and, " Opposition." You see the necessity of Go vernment, but wish to learn the object of opposi tion. The use of your opposition, regarding it not as a party but as an act, is not always ap parent. The existence of our opposition party must be explained by reference to the last para graph. The Government is conducted by En glishmen connected with the colony only by their offices. These persons do not come here to remain. They are not settlers in any sense . of the word. By the settlers, therefore, with, whose indifference towards England you are ac-. quainted, they are regarded as foreigners. They . are foreigners except by name. Their main in terests and affections have reference only to England. They are mere sojourners here. They do not like the place even as a temporary residence. How should they ? Is it not Botany Bay ? Having to deal with a popula- . don of which far more than half the adults are. criminals actually suffering punishment, they ac quire the sentiments and manners of gaolers and turnkeys. They are overbearing, therefore ; peremptory ; quick at taking offence ; suspici ous; jealous of their almost boundless power, and yet fearful of the lawless body under their controul, whom, at the same time, they despise. Nevertheless, their enormous power for good, or evil procures them many partizans amonst the c y, eta and it colonists. These, unit e d w i t h t h em, form the ns of oir.► r vis, and i ofcertaino importance, ein ofig the ran childrent of fie Government party. Th e oppositiwt consists o f emancipated convicts w h o h ave atta i ned wealth and imp many cases of genero us , t empers, of whom some cannot tamely br oo k su bj ect i on in their own persons, some h a t e oppress i on i n the abstract, and some are filled with it high ambition like that which urged the robber-shepherd to found [tome. These are the leaders of four-fifths of the population, They are bent upon procuring for the colony a Government of colonial origin. They want trial by Jury and a Legislative As sembly. They talk even of perfect independence. Th e y are rebels, every one c,f them, at heart; and nothing but a sense of weakness deters them from drawing the sworil, The state of Spain during the reign of Jo sep h Buonaparte osiers a parallel to our political con dition. We have a foreign Ki ng , t h e creature of a foreign power ; fo r ei gn c i v il officers, a foreign army, domestic partizans of the foreign rule, and a people strongly disaffected. The likeness holds good in another important particular. As most of the Spanish partizans, oi Joseph Buonaparte were still essentially Spaniards, and were always ready to have 4eserted the foreign King for a powerful Government purely Spanish, so the Australian partizans of the deputed British Go vernment would, I believe, with very few excep tions, rejoice to obtain a domestic government, which is the avowed object of the Opposition.-- If the immediate independence of this country were a probable event, the whole body of col°. nists would form one party. At present they are divided into two parties : those who serve time and bow to circumstances, taking meanwhil e a ll the good within their reach--and • tho se who, regardless of time and seasons, hay* embarked their energies in a cause which must be hopeless during the present generation—the independence of Botany Bay I Of course, if you come here, you will belong to the Government party. To one or oth er y ou mus t belong, unless you would prefer to be at enmity with both. Neu trality is out of the question, An English Churchman may live in peace between a Papist and a Methodist, because there are some points on which he can agree with both, as, indeed, the opinions of all three have a common foundation. But the disagreement of parties in this little cos lony is absolute and universal. It admits of no compromise or qualification. It extends front the great speculative question of independen ce a a t n i n e a e l r i anti n which over all possible matters of opinion, and tiriough every operation of theG()veiri N, n ,h ie ie n h t downbeget s i s to th e it least important act of the most h um bl e public functionary.
