The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA - LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining 'Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

GREAT BOAT RACE FOR £lOO. One of the finest scullers' races ever seen came off yester day between George Hammerton, of Teddington, formerly apprentice of Messenger, ex-champion of the Thames, and Stephen Wright, of Norwich, some years his opponent's junior. As a sculler Hammerton has only won the coat and badge given by the Thames Subscription Club in the Royal Thames National Regatta ; but with Francis he has beat some of the finest pairs that ever stepped into a boat. He had been training at Mrs. Heath's, the Star and Garter, Putney, with Chambers. Wright is, we believe, not ye. 21, and has acquired considerable fame by beating young Clasper twice; he trained with Henry Kelly, at the Feathers, Wandsworth, and his pace had been so good that 6 and 7 to 4 was freely laid on him. His umpire was Henry Kelly. James Messenger stood for llammerton, and Mr. Newnham was referee. The race was accom panied by (the umpire's boat) Citizen J. and the Venus. The men moved to their stations shortly before three, Wright winning the toss, there being a slight wind out. After ten minutes cut to waste in fiddling, the men got off level, and remained so for a dozen strokes, when Wright, rowing too rapidly, missed his stroke, and nearly fell out of his boat, Hammerton obtaining a considerable lead, which he had increased to a clear length at Finch's. Hero Wright came up so rapidly that they all but fouled, and the Nor wich man dodged about his opponent's stern, and would not be left even when the Crab Tree was reached. At Hammersmith, however, Hammerton led by two lengths, and this lead he increased all the way, though not with ease, winning by six lengths in 25f minutes, and there being much lumpy water in Corney Reach. Wrighi rowed one of the most plucky stern races on record. The following races took place at the Crystal Palace yes terday PAIR OARED RACE. First Heat. J. Morton and F. Shelton (Blue) 1 W.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER.—Last weak a young man, named Doyle, who was in charge of the Slynehead lights, very mysteriously disap peared, and some grave suspicions are afloat as to his disap pearance. On Monday last Mr. H. D'Arcy, J.P., and J. Ireland, 5.1., held an investigation into the matter at Ennismore Constabulary Barrack, and on the following day, Mr. Halpin, inspector of lights, visited the island, and was anything but well pleased with what he elicited con cerning the matter.—Galway Vindicator. lIIE NAVI The Duke of Somerset, accompanied by several members of the Board, left the Admiralty yester day morning for Plymouth, to resume the annual official tour of it spection. _ _ _ The squadron under the command of Rear-Admi ral Mundy, C. 8., which has been at anchor in Spezia Bay during the late gales, was to sail on Saturday for Malta. It consisted of the following ships : The Hannibal, 91, flag ; the St. Jean d'Acre, 101 ; the London, 90; the Brunswick, 80 ; and the As surance despatch gunboat. The Perseverance, screw troopship, Commander Power, has been removed from No. 8 dock at Ports mouth, and moored in the steam basin. Steam was got up yesterday to test her machinery. The Beagle, 6, screw despatch vessel, Comman der R Hay, has been placed in the dock vacated by the Perseverance, for examination. The Pigmy, paddle steamer, Master Commander Johnstone, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the westward with supernumeraries. The entering of seamen for the navy proceeds steadily at Liverpool, and a draught of 20 volun teers was forwarded from that port to the southern depots on Wednesday evening. The paddle-wheel steam vessel Antelope, 3, Com mander Johr W. Pike, from Sierra Leone, August the 28th, and Teneriffe September the 17th, arrived at Plymouth Sound on Tuesday evening. The Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Mr. Smyth, died at Sierra Leone on the 22d of August. She left at Sierra Leone the screw steamsloop.

The paddle-wheel steam vessels Medusa, 4, Commander William Bow den, the Spitfire, 5, Commander William Chapman, were in the Bights. The Antelope returns in con sequence of the decayed state of several of her iron plates. She was commissioned on the Ist of Decem ber, 1856, and has been constantly employed in the suppression of the slave trade. Two of her cap tures have been condemned ; the third was taken on the Killongo on . the 15th of June, a fine Spanish bark, name unknown, having all the necessary fit tings for a slaver. While on the coast, January, 1858, Mr. Pearce, second master, died of fever ; she has only lost 'another of her crew, a seaman, while in commission. The Antelope brings passengers, Lieut. Nathaniel Cox Burton, of the Trident, now on her passage home, Mrs. Laughland and child, from Fernando Po, and several volunteers from merchant vessels on the coast, for continuous service in the Royal Navy. Fine weather had been experienced until nearing the channel. On Sept. 16, just outside Teneriffe, passed the Royal Mail steamship Avon, bound south. The corners of the screw of the steamsloop Fly ing Fish, 6, Commander C. W.

Spalding, arrived at Graves• end yesterday, from Calcutta, having on board the last of the detachment of sick and wounded troops who are to be sent home from India during the pre sent season. The Gertrude embarked her troops at Calcutta on the 21st of May, and sailed the fol lowing day, the passage to the Thames being a very protracted one of 131 days. Her dates are, Sandheads, the 26th of May ; and St. Helena, the only land at which the vessel touched, the 14th of August. The number of troops that embarked at Calcutta was 123 of all ranks, belonging to the Royal Artillery, 2d (the Queen's) Dragoon Guards, 7th Hussars, 12th (Prince of Wales's) Lancers, 6th, Bth ( the King's ), 13th (Prince Albert's Light Infantry), 20th, 23d (Royal Welsh Fusileers), 29th, 34th, 35th, 42d (Royal Highlanders), 43d (Light Infantry), 48th, 52d (Light Infantry), 53d, 54th, 60th (Rifles), 73d, 77th, 79th (Highlanders), 80th, 84th, 90th (Light Infantry), and the Rifle Brigade regiments, with six women and children, the whole under the command of Brevet-Major W. Rudman, 32d Light Infantry, and in medical charge of Assist.-Surgeon J. Tulloch, 10th Regiment. When near the coast of Africa, and distant about 400 miles from Algoa Bay, the vessel was caught in a tremendous hurri cane which nearly laid her on her beam ends, car ried away her mainyard, foreyard, and jibboom, and washed two of the seamen overboard, one of whom could not be recovered. During the voyage cholera broke out on board, and notwithstanding the unremitting attention of Mr. Tulloch, the sur geon, assisted by two army apothecaries on board, it committed the most serious ravages, several deaths having occurred from that cause, including Mr. Stevens, chief mate, a seaman, and several sol diers. The number of deaths on board during the passage was no less than 13, including Mr. Beattie, of the Indian service (who was returning to Eng land on sick leave), Sergeant Casey (Bth), Privates Chester (80th), Snow (34th), Knight (42d), Fenton (60th), Stevenson (20th), Black and Leahy (53d), and Leonard (54th). On disembarking at Graves end yesterday the invalid troops were forwarded to Fort Pitt, Chatham, for medical inspection, the Royal Artillery being sent to Woolwich. Several of the men are still suffering from severe wounds received in their various conflicts with the Indian rebels. One of the invalids, Private M'Cullen, 13th Light Infantry, received a bullet just übove the right eye, where it still remains, defying all the attempts of the surgeons in India to remove it. There are also several men who have lost either an arm or a leg, besides cases.of severe sabre and gun shot wounds. After the medical inspection of the invalids by the staff at Fort Pitt, 39 men were ordered into hospital for surgical treatment, and the remainder sent to St. Mary's invalid depot to await their inspection by a Chelsea board previous to their being discharged. At the date of the sail ing of the Gertrude from Calcutta there were no other vessels waiting for detachments of invalid troops, the whole of them having taken their de parture for England. The Gipsy Bride troopship, from Calcutta, with the 2d division of the 29th Regiment on board, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning. The fol lowing are the names of the officers who accompany the troops on board :—Major Westrop (in military command); Captains H. G. Walker, F. Knebone, and -- Wilkie; Lieutenants J. H. Gordon, G. F D. Smith, W. Winn, J. N. Bomford, G. F. Hart, K. F. Bacon, and H. Davis ; Ensign W. M. Cochrane ; Surgeon E. Morehead, in medical charge ; Assist.- Surgeon W. L. Fat mer, and Quartermaster Elliott. The Liverpool troopship also arrived at Spithead yesterday from Calcutta with the following officers and troops :—Major Steele, 9th Lancers ; Capt. and Mrs. Shaw, Capt. Rich, Lieut. and Mrs. Martin, Quartermaster and Mrs. Hcose, Lieuts. Pretor, Carletown, and Crofton ; Adjutant Thouger, As sist.-Surgeons Fuller and Evans, Cornets Bury and Russell, 400 men, women, and children, all of the 9th Lancers; Captains Hill and Sandwo7th, and Lieut. Betsom, with 100 men, women, and children of the 10th Regiment of Foot. The Gipsy Bride will disembark her troops at Portsmouth this morning. The 9th Lancers will also disembark at Ports mouth this morning from the Liverpool. The detachment of the 10th Foot await further orders from the Horse Guards. The entire regiment of the Scots Fusilier Guards, numbering 800 men, were to embark on Wednes day at the North-wall, Dublin, and proceed to Eng land. The baggage of the regiment was shipped on Tuesday night. It was stated a few days ago that a movement had been commenced in Exeter, with the view of giving the 9th Royal Lancers, who are expected to arrive in that city from India shortly, a hearty and substantial public reception. Since then a numerous and influential meeting has been held in the Exeter Guildhall, to determine what form of popular welcome should be adopted. The Mayor (Captain Tanner) presided, and the Earl of Devon, Sir H. F. Davie, M.P., Sir E. S. Prideaux, the Rev. Chancellor Harington, and others addressed the meeting, and referred in glowing terms to the heroic deeds which the .9th Lancers bad performed during their 18 years' ser vice in India. It was etated that the regiment had left the Exeter Barracks for India 18 years ago ; that then the present gallant commander, Sir Hope Grant, was Capt. Grant ; and that at that time it was the privilege of Chancellor Harington, as chap lain at the barracks, to wish this distinguished general " God speed." It was resolved by accla mation to invite the whole of the non-commissioned officers and privates of the regiment to a public banquet in the name of the city of Exeter. Liberal subscriptions towards defraying the expenses were contributed by the Earl of Devon, Sir. H. F. Davie, Sir E. S. Prideaux, And various other gentlemen and tradesmen, and it is anticipated that a very large sum will be obtained. In our report yesterday of the general inspection at Woolwich of the Military Train, by Major-Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., it was stated that Major Shervinton commanded. That gallant officer is Major of Brigade of the Military Train. The two battalions which were inspected were under the command of Colonel Erskine and. Major M'Court, the former being in command of the two battalions on the occasion of -the inspection. ABOLITION OF FLOGGING IN TILE ARMY AND NAVY. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Hall of Science, City-road, to adopt measures for the total and immediate abolition of flogging in the army and navy. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. P. MUR ROUGH, ex-member for Bridport, in the absence of Mr. T. Wakley, who had been announced to fill that position, and who had requested Mr. Brent the deputy coroner for Middlesex, to say that he (Mr. Wakley) cordially sympathised in the object of the meeting, and he trusted that the agitation against the lash would be continued until the brutal practice of flogging was for ever abolished. The CHAIRMAN said he would not detain them long, but he entirely agreed with the expression made use of by Mr.Wakley, for it was a most brutaland degrading practice. It was said that they could not find any punishment to take its place; but he maintained that the punishment was offensive to public feeling. The advocates of flogging said that the men of the army and navy were of such a Blass that corporal punishment was a matter of neces sity. He did not say that they were of a high class, but he would say there was not a man who could enter her Majesty's service under such con ditions, unless he had lost all respect for himself. (Cheers.) It was the duty of society to step in and stop this degrading punishment. The accounts in t'te newspapers had shown that there had been no less than 17,000 desertions in the army, and could it be wondered at when flogging was continued, and consequently desertions would follow.. Such a system of tyranny existed only in this country. It was not thought necessary in Russia, in Prussia, in France, or in Germany. And was the English sol dier less deserving than those he had named ? When the German Legion was in this country the authorities dared not use the lash. They walked about in the face of their officers, and were inde pendent of them ; but the English soldiers had always the fear of the lash over them, and they therefore could not help feeling that they were a degraded class of men. (Cheers.) The fault in the system lay in fhe fact that it was arranged for the benefit of the aristocracy, and until the s 3 stem of purchase in the army and favouritism in the navy were altered, this feeling of degradation would continue. Let the public turn their eyes upon our dockyards, and behold the scenes that were enacted there. He ventured to assert there was no thing in the slave states of South America where the practices were equal to those he had referred to. The patience and endurance of the brave fellows in the British army were great, but besides that the public owed something to them, for their battles, guilty as he believed them to have been of late — (cheers)—had been fought by these men. (Cheers.) It was not now as it was in the time of Wellington and Nelson, when it was said—" Put a man at the head of your army and another at the head of your navy, and England is safe." The men had now to win the victories of the nation—there was not a general now who could be trusted with the com mand of an army--(cheers)—and the men had to fight the battles for them. (Hear, hear.) Let them look at the vacillating conduct of the generals in the Crimea, and what they would have been had it not been for the indomitable courage and heroism of the soldiers, and then consider whether it was fit that these men should be subjected to the degrading punishment of the lash. He advised them to do this work resolutely, calmly, but determinedly, for it was a disgrace not only to the parties who were compelled to submit to it, but also to the middle classes who tolerated it. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WALL, the secretary to the committee con vening the meeting, then read letters expressive of sympathy with the object of the meeting, from Dr. Lushington, Mr. Ewart, M.P., the Lord Mayor, Mr. Fry (brother-in-law to the late Mrs. Fry);Mr. T. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. H. Vincent, Mr. C. Bux ton, M.P., Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. E. James, M.P., Mr. Hitchcock (of St. Paul's churchyard), Mr. Fox, M.P., Mr. J. Dillon, Gen. Thompson, Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Whalley, M.P., Mr. E. T. Smith (lessee of Drury-lane Theatre), Mr. A. Pellatt, &c. Mr. P. EDWARDS moved the first resolution,— " That in the opinion of this meeting flogging in the army and navy is alike brutal and degrading to the men subjected to the lash, and unproductive of good in deterring from offence ; it acts as a preven tive to the best class joining either service, and fixes a disgrace upon the people of the British na tion as an enlighted and Chi istian 'community." He contended that the degrading practice of flog ging in the army and navy would never be done away with until the people were better represented in the House of Commons. Mr.. I BINYON seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. J. ACLAND then moved the seco n d resolu- tion That 'immediate steps be taken for ice abolition of flogging in the army and navy, by me morialising her Majesty the Queen, petitioning both Houses of Parliament, and iiddreSing the authOri ties at ihefovse Guards and Admiralty, for a speedy and total abolition- of 'flogging.". He. did not agree in what had fallen .from. Mr. EdWards, that they ought to wait until they were better represented in the House of Commme, because 'if they did, there would‘be many thousand brave fellows that would', be degraded, not only in their own opinion, but in that of all their companions, by means of the lash. (Hear, hear.) After referring to the disgraceful practices resorted to in enlisting soldiers, he said that when a man became a soldier he lost his citi zenship. If a soldier committed a crime he had not trial by jury ; he was not tried by his peers, but by the scions of the aristocracy, who purchased their right t) punish him. He asked whether it was just that because a free citizen of England got drunk and foolish, hewas'to sell himself f‘r a shilling, to forfeit his rights, and submit to be lashedwhenever his commanding officer chose to indulge in that luxury ? (Hear, hear.) Now the object was to get rid of this horrid system as soon as possible, and he advised them to commence at once, and, like the attack upon the corn laws, the success would be signal and glorious. - Mr. M'GILCHRIST seconded the resolution, which was carried. The SECRETARY then -read the memorial to be presented to her Majesty, aiift moved the follow ing resolution: " That the , memorial to h er Majesty, as now read, be adopted by this ,meeting, and that petitions founded thereon and on the reso lutions of the meeting 'be presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons; as well as addresses to the authorities of the Horse Guards and Admiralty." The resolution, having been seconded was agreed to, as was also one for the appointment of a com mitttee to carry out the object of the meeting. The business then terminated. TILE STRIKE. Yesterday, in pursuance of the resolution passed at the meeting of the Masters' Committee on Tues day, to the effect that they were willing to see a de putation of the operative masons, though they considered the difficulties in the way of withdraw ing the declaration, taken as it ,had been by nearly 8,000 men, as imuperable, Richard Harnott, Samuel Northam, John Salter, and William Per ham, the four leading masons who had previously sent in an offer of mediation on the part of that body to which that resolution of the Masters' Com mittee was an answer, are understood to have had an interview with a sub-committee of masters, of which Mr. Plucknett was chairman, at the Free masons' Tavern, on the matters at issue between them. The interview is said to have lasted seven hours, and at its conclusion to have been adjourned until this day (Thursday). So protracted a con ference, and one which is to be resumed, naturally induces a hope that the differences between the masters and this important section of the operatives in the building trades, are not altogether irrecon cileable. The result, whatever it be, must needs have an important bearing upon ,the strike. No official information has yet transpired as to the subjects of discussion during the interview, but some of the local by-laws of the metropolitan ope rative masons of which the masters complain as being oppressive and detrimental to their interests are said to have formed the chief tropic •F argument. Both masters and masons stand com mitted to a given course,—one stating the existence of insuperable obstacles in the way of their aban doning the Declaration ; the other offering to re sume work at 10 hours a-day, as befor, thus giving up the ground on which they originally : struck, provided the masters no longer persevere in what they (the men) call An attempt to enslave them. This is the difficulty the parties concerned have now to solve. The Declaration, once abandoned by the masters in the case of the masons, as a matter of course, it must be giVen up as respects the rest of the building artisans. It remains to be seen whether the employers are prepared to take that course. If they are the strike will be practically at an end ; for the men in their present temper, and after such a concession, would scarcely think of carrying the nine hours' agitation further, at least, for some little time to come. On the other• hand, should the masons yield, and go to work under the Declaration, something, but not all, will have been gained by the masters, for they cannot carry on operations in which the labour of so many handicraftsmen enters with oue class of artisans alone. The masons' deputation, it is said, are to meet their constituents this morning at 10 o'clock, be fore resuming the interview with the masters, and consult with them on the course to be adopted. One thing would appear manifest—viz., that the split between the masons and the Conference is irreme diable, for it is partly on the ground of that separa tion that the masters consent to negotiate with them. The membert of the Conference, it seems, are not at all disposed to pocket the affront passed on them at the last meeting of the masters' committee, by whom they were — stigmatised as an irresponsible and illegal confederation. They consider that com• mittee an equally irresponsible body, and they are now making arrangements for holding an aggregate meeting of all the operatives in the building trac'es, at St. Martin's-hall, on Friday evening, to elicit an expression of opinion from them as to the course to be pursued in the present state of things. THE LAW OF STRIKES. Lord St. Leopards has contributed the following concise summary of the present laws as to work men's strikes and combinations : The masters consider the proceedings of the build ing trades' unions wholly inconsistent with the law, which was framed with a jealous regard to the interests of the working man. The act of Parlia ment (6 George IV., cap. 129), which repealed all the former laws relative to the combination of workmen, states, that combinations interfering with the free employment of capital and labour are injurious to trade and commerce, dangerous to the tranquillity of the country, and especially to the interests of all who are concerned in them. The object of the act is then declared to be to make pro vision as well for the security and personal freedom of individual workmen in the disposal of their skill and labour, as for the security of property and per sons of masters and employers. The act then makes the following offences punish . able by imprisonment not exceeding three months, with or without hard labour, namely :—Where any person shall by violence to the person or property, or by threats, or by intim. dation, or by molesting, or in any way obstructing another 1.

TELEGRAPH 1 1 0 . SLATOAPORE CHINA. The Times, in a recent article, condemning the supineness of the Government in not promoting telegraphic eommunication to India, advocated the immediate laying of a subma r i ne cable in two sta tions from Rangoon to Singapore, in order to faci litate our communication with China. The Indian Government has long since agreed to lay this line along the Malay peninsula, having stations at Ten asserim and .Ptnang, but have wasted most valuable time in argnini_ihe question Of 'cost with the Ito perial Government. We are happy, howeVer, to be able to,state that the news of our warlike rela tions with China has urged the Home Government to action, atul•instructions have been given for en tering into' a: contract for laying the cable from Rangoon to Singapore . by the end of Ably; and ; there is no doubt that, at that time, Siezepaee will be in telegraphic communication withiondon. The working of this line will, of course, be in the hands of the Indian Government, as all other lines are in India. The line from Calcutta to Rangoon was to be finished last' month, and intelligence to that effect is expected by an early mail. No decision., has yet been arrived at in referenee to the line from Singa pore to _Hon ...Kong, for _ Avhieh_ two_ projecta _had been bud before the Government some Months ksitots —one to run,from Singapore to Polo Condone, thence along the coast of Cochin-China, with a station at the Bay of Touren, thence to the Island of Hainan, which will shortly be open to British - trade, thence to Hong Kong.. Our readers may remember that this is, the. route advocated by ,us in December last, when the claimsof Sarawak were before the public; and we hear that Lord .Elgin and Sir 'J. Bowring have also, proneunced faVour of this route. If this line be adopted, the 'French Government will doubt less be willing to afford some support to the under taking. Then, again, a line could easily be,run from Puha Coedore to-Bankok ; -and -wO happen to kno* that support could be obtained from the present en lightened King of, Siam, who prides himself on his English writing, and syinpathises with all our scien tific movements: ne 6eoond project is to run a line from Singapore to Sarawak, on the Borneen coast, thence to the Island of Labuani thence to Manilla, and thence to Hong Kong. After the late fearful massacre of Christians in B-mmeo, we think it would be highly impolitic to use ,tbat coast, to say nothing of the entire absence of any pecuniary support from its rulers. There should n'ot,- we think, be any hesi tation on the part of the Government as to which of these two routes deserve support ; and it must be some red-tapeism which keeps is r from pronouncing an opinion on the subject, and thus put the matter in motion. A company could be formed, and a capi tal raised, we believe, in a few days. In discussing these plans, we have not lost sight of the fact, that India is notyet in telegraphic communication with this country. The cable to effect this—that is, from Aden to Kurracliee, however, leaves Liverpool on-the 30th inst., by Messrs. Newell and Co.'s steamers, Im perador and Imperatriz. We are at a lossto know why the laying of this section could not have been per formed simultaneously with the one from Suez to Aden. Surely there were more than two vessels to be found in Great Britain suitable for the purpose. Waiting for the return of the ImVerador and Impe ratriz is about the most old-fashioned way of doing things possible,-and not at all in keeping with tele graphic movements. It reflects little credit on the Board of Trade, and we trust a similar blunder will not be repeated.—China Telegraph. ALLEGED P_ECULATIONS IN A CON- vier' ESTABLISHMEN T. We learn from a file of the Perth, (Western Aus tralia) Gazette, that an unpleasant sensation has been caused in that colony by the discovery of extensive defalcations in the accounts of Mr. T. H. Dixon, super- inten dent of the convict establishment. On the 18th of April a jury was impanelled to ascertain whether Mr. Dixon was not a debtor to the Crown in the sum of £442 Gs. 5d., for monys received by him for the wages of persons employed in the establishment. The jury found the issue in the affirmative ; and the acting Crown solicitor then stated that the Government would hold itself liable for the wages which Mr. Dixon (who it is unneces sary to state had in the meantime been suspended from his office) had neglected to pay over. On the next day an application was made for a writ in extent against. Mr. Dixon's person and estate ; but the civil commissioner, after postponing judgment till the I Othof May, ultimately refused the motion on the ground of some informality in the proceed ings. On the 11th of August the first meeting of Dixon's creditors was held under an insolvency petition. The insolvent handed in a schedule of receipts and expenditure for the last twelve months, and also a list by which it appeared his private debts were £673 18s. 2d. ; and, upon examination, he stated that upon the first day of his coming into the colony he was in debt between £3OO and £4OO. His salary of late had been £420 with allowances, which he valued at £BO. His account at the bank had always been a general one; he had made no distinction .there between the sums received and paid by him on public or private account. In the past twelve months he had paid £144 into the bank and drawn £484 12s. 6d. Of his drawings £B9 19s. 3d. was for his personal use, and the balance was applied in payment of debts. It was subsequently announced that his estate would pay is. 3d. in the pound. On the 6th of July Dixon was charged at the quarter sessions with embezzling £B9 of the public service moneys of her Majesty the Queen, and by a second count with fraudulently applying the same to his own use ; a third count charged him with stealing certain coins the property of the Queen, and a fourth with stealing the same, the property of James Masters. Mr. Howell, on b ehalf of the prisoner, demurred to the indictment. He contended that the two first counts were bad because they did not aver that the money had been issued to the prisoner, and it might therefore have come lawfully into his possession. The Advocate- General having been heard in reply, the court allowed the demurrer, but gave leave to the Crown to file a fresh indictment either for misdemeanor or for larceny. At the same sessions several other persons were indicted for various thefts at the same model refor matory institution, viz.:—Corporal Newton, for stealing bookbinders' materials, and selling them to a ticket-of-leave man named Spencer ; Corporal Scott for stealing and selling Chubb's locks and files ; Private Cameron, for selling government timber, and employing convicts in cutting,and saw ing it ; Private Davis, f or conveying out of the establishment, and aiding in the disposal of, a handsome turning lathe, 'which had been manufac tured in the blacksmith's shop there ; Private Gogan, for selling to a ticket-holder named Bains, , worth about £10; a an c d o pletet vale s emt `Nicol, itclora forsn ' to having ols w or k-boxes made by convict labour in the carpenters' shop, and sell ing the same in a public - house in Frema n t le. All the prisoners were acquitted, and the Gazette of the 15th of July thus comments on the affair Our present and last week's issue contain as extraordinary a record of crown prosecutions and their results as, pe r h a ps, the annals of any of her Majesty's colonies exhibit. • The juries have upon one and all returned a verdict of 'Not guilty' against the defendants, and whether those verdicts were arrived at from a doubt of the guilt of the ac cused, or from other motives, we shall not offer an opinion upon. On ono point, however, all agree— that a large amount of peculation in many ways has been committed at the convict establishment, and that an attempt at punishment of some sus pended delinquents has been made, with a result that can leave no doubt of the general feeling of the community as to the spirit in which the inves tigations into the affairs of the convict establish ment have been carried on, in secrecy, seeking out one class of offenders, while, it is believed, another has been allowed opportunities to gloss over their irregularities, and to escape their consequences."
