ANNMIRSARY 01 THE FOUNDATION OP T.lll AUSTRALIAN 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, E.g., ditto New South Wales ; E. Stephenson, Escl-7 ditto South Australia. The stewards were —H. G. Ashurst, Esq., W. F. De Salis, Esq., John Dobie, Esq., F. A. Du Croz, Esq., Wm. Degraves, Esq , J. Dunn, Esq., A. L. Elder, Esq., G. R. Griffiths, Req., J. Gilchrist, Esq., Donald Larnach, Esq., L. Makinnon, C. D. Riddell, Esq.; J. A. You], Esq., A. W. Young, Esq., M. P. Among the guests pre sent were—the Right Hon. Mr. Labouchere, the Right Hon. Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord A. Beanderk, Lord A. Churchill, the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Sir R. Murchison, Captain Mangts, M.P., S. GregSol3, Esq. M.P., Major Geu. Cum berland, Mr. Merivale, Mr. La Trobe, Major Gipps, Dr. Dawson, Capt. Sturt, Capt. Co, ran, Capt. Ramsbottom, Mr. Gardner. Among the colo nists present were :—Right Hon. Lord Atial , 2y, Messrs. M. Marsh, M.P., W. M. Manning, LL. D., F. H. Dutton, G. Elder, E. Willis, H. Hughes, A. Ling home, R. Sutherland, Walker, R. Brooks, E. Westby, &c. 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 Sizye lecki, Lord Goderich, Captain Grey, Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, Sir C. Trevelyan, Sir C. Fitz- Roy, Mr. Rowland Hill, Lord J. Russell, Colonel Rohe, and the Lord Mayor. The CHAIRMAN, 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 koobv, 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 ho could not but call on the company to express their sympathy with that illustrious lady who bad yes terday become a royal bride, amidst the acclama tions of a great people—acclamations which would not be limited to these islands, bit 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, zind 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 CHLutme2r 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 Crimes. Australia would have been ready to take her active share in this greatnational:contest. She had by her contributions to the Patriotic Fund, towards which New South Wales alone had contributed 70,0001., shown her sympathy with the army and navy engaged i❑ 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 [proposed " 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 meetiug of colonists who were now in London, and it was not at first desired that it should assume the pr-_‘,,ent 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 w as 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 in the scientific world who had mani fested an interest in the prosperity of the Australian colonies. That request had been kindly complied with by many of those gentlemen—by the ieht hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Coloniea, by Ms. 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 se; en tifio induction, the existence of gold in those colo lies, 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 aided. (Hear.) Mr. LABOUCHERE, 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 adminiitering 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 Maj.-sty'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 the support aed con l l lenca of the great body of the intelligence of the p'-ople. To himself it was a gratification of no ordinary kind to accept the invitation he had received to be present on this occasion to bko ad vantage 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 inter ested 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 Auttra lian colonies and the Colonial-office were not i)lto gather of an amicable description. (Hear, hear.) He had no - wish to go back to those times. (Hear, from 'Mr. Gladstone, cheers, and laughter.) lie 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 au lt o f th e system, under which no man could well perform iris duty. The affairs of a colony thousands of miles off, and of a people naturally jealous of their rights, were conducted at home 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 more ely and effectively, and certainly more satisfactorily to themselves. (Hear, hear.) They Taarhave made some mistakes ; but if they had u - not,: the 'government o f A stralia would have ben unlike - any otherin the world. At any rate, if they did, the remedy was at hand. Th e y could change their administ ra ti ous the Anstralians were n o t a t . Plan which it was find heal; and laughter.) g e a n l e ow to adopt.

(Hear, hear.) He had end eavoured during the time he bad been at the Colonial... o ffi ce to conduct his relations with the colonies in the spfrit 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. He 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. Fortunately for the two most con siderable of these provinces, on the inauguration of responsible government 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 wh ich remained to the Minister for the Colonies was the recommending to the Cr wn o those persons who were to occupy the places of governors in thos-e colonies -30 much depended on their sagacity, judgment, and temper. Only one of the pr,nent governors was appointed since he had been Colonial had had G overnor of Victoria ; b ut h e had the satisfaction of recommending Sir H.

" Prosperity to Austra libeae. placed he nd pr s ;sence of the gentlemen he C he e r i e n . hisha saw around him was a sufficient indication of the interesttheyfe te lt e i e n e tnheae t dwith that sentiment. e Most o of them colony, but it we re personally 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 ccricur on that point, and would earnestly desire that Australia should pr , sper 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 discoid 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 sary of this day, only 70 ye ars ago , th a t a f ew 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. (Hearythear.) 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 country. (Cheers.) He begged to propose "Prosperity to Australia," coupling with it the name of one of the 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 ling at this commemoration. It was the 70th anni versary 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 eastern coast of the colony. Comparing its condition then AN& 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, (300, 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. Deere 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 i 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 would 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 Commons, 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 AlTlniElr having returned thanks for the House of Lords, The SPitairKß (Mr. E. Denison) said that he cheer fully obeyed the call which had been made upon him, although he did not hold any expres s m i ss i on 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 how 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 en assembly, and he came there on peb is grounds tolwish with as much enthusiasm as any one present prosperity to our Australian co lonies •' and to express his hop e th a t th e i nt iina,re 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. Ho 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 to 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) thatthe 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 Austr dia, 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 year i r and not depart from its rules and orders. They - teould 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 shorten debates but positively preclude them He did not wish to criticise those systems, but he thought they might be regarded an 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 for 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. i*. GLADSTONE, who was received with loud cheers, having expressed his sense of the feeling entertained in Australia towards the House of Com mona,Place of late u dwelt on the change of ,)olicy which had taken colo nies ; but had be en fundamental error?' \ Years in the administration of the prergvr.od that the erroneous system which common with all the pursued bad been the result of a principles of colonisation misunderstanding of the —a system which made commercial colonising England showed in only basis of the connection nations of Europe .

It had taken ma: turned ' 1 genera- Lions to remedy the evil ; b u t at l ast it hadbe done, and the counc-xion betwe en E ng l and and herll colonies was now, in truth, one of good-will, loyalty and affeci ion. The colonies were now free ; their virtues were their own, and their failings would be their own also ; and to them equally with England herself was committed the duty of maintaining the honour of the land of their fathers. Sir J. PAIUNGTON acknowledged the cordiality with which his name had been received, and expressed his pleasure at having the oppor tunity afforded him of becoming associated with gentlemen whose names he had long known. He heartily joined, as an English citizen, as a member of Parliament, and as one who had been entrusted, although for a short time, with the ad ministration of our colonial empire, in an earnest wish that the prosperity of Australia might long continue. He urged the necessity of that concilia tory policy which had been recently adopted to wards our colonies. He pointed to the rapid rise of the Australian provinces ; and, as an instance of it, stated that not 30 years ago, when Lord Aber deen was Colonial Secretary, permission was refused to emigrants 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 shipped 100 tons of gold. (Hear, hear.) The loyalty and affection of Australia for the mother country had been signally displayed by a contribution of 150,0001. to the Patriotic Fund, thus bearing a large relative prcPortion to the whole sum of 1-; 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, Ole 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 OF 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 Black wall Railway, applied for a warrant to apprehend John Fraser, formerly a Chartist agitator, and for several years one of the poor sate 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 &a months, and the criminal has absconded. Oo the sth of August, 1857, upon the audit of the poor-rate book by the trustees of the 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 1,5001. ; and amongst the number of defaulters. the London and Blackwell Railway Company was alleged to be in arrear , for 1051. 103.. being the amount of two quart ers ' rates, they having, in fact, paid 521. 15s of that sum on the sth of March, being the one quar ter ' s rate due from them upon the previous January rate, but which sum was added to the 521. IZ'. 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 occupied houses of which the tenants had paid 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 ' the parishioners of 5001. or 6001. Fraser was dismissed from his office of collector, and actions brought against his 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 bad embezzled moneys belied 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 is attendance to prove the payment of rates which Fraser had appropriated to his Own use. Mr. Selfe—Where is the defaulter Mr. Howell—We don't know. Mr. Selfe—Why do you require a warrant ? Mr. Howell—Fraser has been guilty of fraud and em bezzlement. Mr. Selfe—Where is he to be found! Mr. Howell—That we don't know. Mr. Selfe—Have you an information in writing prepared Mr. Howell—No, sir ; I was not aware it was required . Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said that Fraser was charged with a criminal offence, and a written informa tion was not necessary. Mr. C. Young, solicitor, said he had been 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—Tne sureties have paid a large sum of money, but that is no reason why the principal delinquent should escape. Mr. Selfe said there was no occasion for a warrant ; Fraser could be given in charge for, felony wherever he could be found, and remitted to London. Mr. Howell—l . was desired by the parish officers to make this application. Mr. Selfe—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 us in taking the delinquent into custody in the event of our tracing him. MrSelfe—You require no warrant. Anybody may take him, or give him in charge, if the facts are as you state them. Except in very 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 ; but if he is taken into custody without a warrant, the party charging him will la-, liable ;f his arrest should happen to be illegal. Mr. Howell and the deputation who accompanied him then withdrew. REVOIIII MEETINO AT ROTTON.—A public meeting was bel,l 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 hallo , . ; 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 that every member may represent an equal number of elector.J, 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 quite unanimous.—Manchester Guar dian. _ [ADvawressman.]—Messrs. Du Barry's nevalents. 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 thousands of similar testi monies. The reverend gentleman says :—" Mary Emerson (a servant of Mr. Flayell'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. Silo 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, nor what is commonly called a medicine, but an agreeable and palat able article of food) are pouring in daily, and can leave no doubt in the minds of intelligent persons, that it stands alone and nuapproached—far and away- -at the head of every thing which science has yet discovered for the preservation of health, and the eradication of pain and disease.

' ' POLICE IN TELLIGENC E—Jcm. 26, MANSION-HOUSE. — James Malin was charged under the following circumstances : " 1 sa id—l saw this m an a t 8 o ' c l oc k i n A pJlicem the morning in such a condition as to be wholly unable to drive his horses. He tumbled fro in one side to the other, and I took him into custody, and sent the cart and horses he was driving to the yard. The defendant—l never was drunk in before, my lord, and I am sorry that I was s !green iy life over- taken this morning. The foreman of the defendant's employ(r 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 uefendant—Depend upon it I will never get into such a state again. John Salmon was sentenced to imprisonntient for two months for having been in the unlawfulposses sion of a set of reins. Thomas Cane was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for thi ee 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 never had any inten tion of stealing anything. He was stated by the gaoler to have been fre quently imprisoned for thieving, and to have been in the habit of defending himself in the most impu dent manner. MARLBOROUGH - STREET.—Richard Stub- 1 bins, a corporal in the Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting one person and drainng his bayonet on another. Adam Johnson, 19, Queen Anne's-mews, coach man, saw the defendant knock down I 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 self-defence. 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'Cartby and Owen M'Sweeny were charged before Mr. Burcham with assaulting Mr. John Francis and Mr. Arthur Jor rell, medical gentlemen connected with St. Thomas's Hospital. Mr. Ed win, of the Dover-road, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Francis said that shortly before dne o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last he waS with Mr. dorrell 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 saw a drunken man being carried into a house, surrounded by several persons, and while witness was passing, M'Carthy 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 he could not leave his bed for 24 hours. In cross-examination witness said ho 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'Sweeny 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 and tried to get into the house again. Witness, however, as sisted the constabl e to pull him out, a g iven into cust o dy. O n th e wa y t o the d he was station-house M'Carthy struck witness on the side of the head in the presence of the constable, 81 M. On the part of the defendants Mr. Edwin said that the complainants were the aggressors. They alarmed the neighbourhood by cries of " Fire " and " Lurliety," and on his clients going out to see what was the matter the medical students got up a fight, and a general row ensued. He called a female and two men to corroborate his statement, but their testimony was unsatisfactory. Mr. Burcham fined M'Sweeny 15s. and M'Carthy 10s., or the alternative of imprisonment. THAMES. —About six weeks ago a lunatic was brought to this court in custody of a police eon stable, who st ated that he found him c omm i t ti ng a misdemeano ur i n the Mile- end - road, near th e C it y Union-house. The p resid ing magistrate or d ere d that the lunatic should b e removed to the work house of iu the remained. e Hamlet of Mil e - end•old-town, where Mr. soutl a well, vestry c l er k , and clerk to the board of guar dians of Mile - end-new-tow n , now at tended to ob tain an order for the removal o f th e s a.s s l una tic to one of the City parishes, an d stated that when he was brou g ht to the Mile-end Wo r kh ouse , the board o f g uardians inst antly admitted him, an d ordered that h e should r eceive the attenti on w hi c h he la he required. At the same time the board were ltd to believe that he had escaped from an asylum in H o xton, and directed his removal thither in a cab. Dr. Bryan, the proprietor of the asylum, however, upon being s een refused to admit the lunatic, and stated that he had a proper discharge. Subsequent inquiries went to show that the poor fellow had been in Dr. Bryan's asylum 20 years, at an expense to his friends originally of 501., and afterwards of 30/, per annum. The last of his paying relatives had died, and there appearing no chance of repay ment, Dr. Bryan 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 bim 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 g o into the City and obtain an order ; b u t i ns t ea d of doing so be turned on his heel and left the lunatic in the Mile-end road, where he Was found. Thence he was sent to the Mile-end workhouse. To show Dr. Bryan's connection with the affair, the following letter from him was read :-..- ‘6 Dear Sir, TT --nder your authority the party deli• vered Mr. -. (the lunatic) to the union-house of the City at Bo -%-road, Mile-end ; the pat ty himself who has carried out y o u r w i s h es in reference. to removal informs we that 31s. will cover expenses incurred, and he him self will wait on you when and where you please to receive the same, the house not having any claim in t he , matter.--I am, & e . 4, B• L. BRYAN ' Mr. Selfe—l think the hamlet of Mile-.end Old Town has great reason to complaLu• Mr. Seuthwell—lt is somewhat singular that there is no clause in the Private Lunatic Asylums Act that would meet the case. Mr. Selfe—l thi n k l eg i s l a ti o n is required to meet such a case as this. Mr. Southwell—There is a clause in the County Lunatic Act to deal with such a case as this, but, as is well known, in county asylums the parishes pay, and therefore there is no inducement forcon niving at an escape, whereas , inprivat 9 asylums difficulties of obt a i n i ng payme nt may be freque nt. ursued was to The course Dr. B ryan s h ou ld have p send the lunati c t o t h e wor khouse of i St • Leonard, , Shoreditch, i n w hi c h t h e Hoxton 1 Asylum is situated, and th e par i s h officers of Shoreditch would have been bou n d to rece i ve him. a nd!pass him to his place of settlement. I will sign the Mr. Selfe—Yes, that is right. ; order of removal. go S HAMMERSMITH.--.John Eldridge Spratt, re aiding at 66, M argaret - s t re et, Cavendish - square, wai charged with assaulting and beating his wife, Sarah Amu Sprats. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. The complainant, a well-dressed young woman, deposed that she resided at 39, Brompton-row. She was married to tho 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 co 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 tcok legal means, and more especially as she was un dressed. He then called out for a blanket to wrap round the ohild, and commenced dragging the clothes off the bed. Witness screamed, and some of her lodgers came to ber 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 in 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 hey 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 first 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. _ _ Mr. Lewis said he had no writ to produce. - Mr. Ingham wished to know where the answer was to the case. The facts appeared 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 wasnotjustitied then he (Mr. Lewis)would 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 children. Mr. Ingham then said ho would bind the defen dant over in his own recognisance3 in the sum of 501. to be of good behaviour for the next 12 months.
