FRANCE. The "wit mentions i 1; following nominations in the diplomatic corps :—Baron de Talleyrand, now Secretary of Legation at St. Petersburgb, will be named Minister Plenipotentiary at Weymar, a post which has been suppressed since 1848 ; M. Engel hard, Consul of France and Member of the Rhenish Commission, is named Minister at Carlsru he ; M. Menneval removes from Carlsruhe to Munich. M. le ciaitant-Comminge has just been named Secre tary of Legation at Turin. Lient. Stack, of the English army, has had an audience of the Prince President, for the purpose of presenting to him a copy of a work on St. Helena, with several engravings executed from sketches taken by Lieut. Stack when in garrison on that island. This work had been dedicated to Louis Napoleon. The Prince received the author very graciously, an d, after expressing to him his grateful sense of the attention paid in the work to the memory of the Em peror, gave an order for a considerable number of copies for the public librar ies and other establishments. M. Becher, ex-representative, underwent an inter rogation yesterday, from M. Lascoux, Procureur of the Republic. M. Adolphe Le Roy de Saint Arnaud, only son of the Minister of ' War, who has been serving since 1851 in the Ist Regiment of Hussars, has just died at Limoges, aged 19. Th e cause o f d ea th was an inflammation of the lun gs f rom a co ld t a k en by this young soldier in assisting to extinguish a fire. The mixed Commission of the Var has given a Free number of decisions. 620 persons compromised in the events of December have been set, at liberty by the Prefect in virtue of the different decisions. The Journal du Leiret states that M. Guinard, who was condemned by the High Court of Justice of Versailles for taking part in the insurrection of June 13 , has just been pardoned by the President of the Republic. General Lamoriciere, says the Presse, has just fixed his residence at Brussels, where he has taken a house. . In consequence of a dispute which arose at the last ball at the Tuileries, and which occasioned much an noyance to the company, a hostile meeting took place on Tuesday between the parties concerned—namely, M. Pierre Peyris and M. Juan Jose Vidante. The weapon chosen was the sword, and two sharp attacks took place. The first passed over without either of the combatants being hurt, but in the second, both were wounded very slightly, M. Vidante in the right hand, and M. Peyris in the right leg. The seconds then put an end to the encounter. A. state• ment to the above effect has appeared in the evening journals, signed by M. Amedee de Cesena and Dr. Busschaert, of the 6th regiment of the line, for M. Peyris, and by Colonel Gaertner, of the Spanish ser vice, and M. Edouardo Jimenes de Montalvo, for M. Vidante. DI. Peyris is an officer of the French army; Vidante is in the Spanish service. The coinage of gold and silver pieces from the new dies engraved by M. Barre, and which bear the effigy of the President of the Republic, has commenced at the Mint on an '3:..,ensive scale. The Bank of France having lately found that a great number of the pieces of sf. which reach it are hollowed and filled with lead, has been obliged to have the contents of each bag examined separately. The pieces so tampered with lose about two-thirds of their value. THE ARMY AND NAVY; (From the United Service Gazette.) HOME ENCAXPMENT.—The sum of twelve thousand pounds has been provided in the Army Estimates for an encampment upon a grand scale. Last year 1,0001. only was assigned. We presume, therefore, it is intended to brigade a large number of troops together, and we be lieve that Salisbury Plain will be the venue. WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.—The order for secrecy on this subject is creating unnecessary alarm among the large mercantile and manufacturing houses, who are led thereby to infer that there is more cause for alarm than is publicly known. Inquiries are being anxiously made in quarters likely to be well informed, as a guide for future transactions, for many pt.:aka are circum scribing their operations, from apprehensions thus fool ishly created by the late Board of Admiralty. We heartily congratulate the Royal Marine Force, in the appointment by her Majesty of Major-General Owen, C. 8., Deputy Adjutant General, as an ordinary member of the Military Division of the Second Class, or Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. The services of this officer are well deserving the honour conferred upon him; and we now hope "tat this branch of the service will at last be partakei , .!1 an extended manner of royal favours. . . - TROOPS IN INDIA.—If our affairs iu the East Indies continue tolerably quiet, two or three regiments of the line will probably return to England, without the usual relief being sent out. By this arrangement an additional force will be made available for service at home. TROOPS FOR FOREIGN SERVICE. —The five regiments under orders for embarkation for foreign service have been countermanded, and it is expected they will not proceed abroad until next year. . . REGIMENTS 1 , 11.0 X ABROAD.--We understand that it is not the intention of the Government to replace the regiments ordered home from Nova Scotia and Canada. The 42d Highlanders and 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade will embark for England in tho course of the year. ARMY REDUCTION.—Four companies of the Canadian Rile Regiment are to be reduced from the let of April next. PEN3IONERS FOR CANADA.—A circular has been is sued by the War office, calling upon able-bodied pen sioners fit to carry arms to volunteer for emigration to Canada, and to be formed into local companies for ser ►ice in that colony. Thu sum of 5001, has been esti mated to carry out the arrangement. Mr. O'Byrne, the compiler of the Naval Biography, has been appointed librarian at the Admiralty, Whitehall. M ININ G INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) We have experienced more animation in our market this week for all descriptions of mining stock, the reac tion in favour of British investments being of a more de cided character, and in proportion to the neglect of the gold mines. Prices have, however, been steady, no no ticeable alteration having occurred in this respect. The wholesome effects of ;a Mining Exchange become, also, every day more perceptible, not only in steadying prices, bat approximating them more closely to the intricsic value of the adventure. It is worthy of special remark that the mines which have suff!red the greatest amount of depreciation during the late depression are those which were offered in a large number of shares (varying from 5,000 to 10,000), and thus indirectly demonstrating the soundness of the old Cornish principle of a few shares to each adventurer. We have no doubt, however, that now our market will continue to improve for all sound and well-based concerns. In the Met a l M ar k e t-C o pper i s in great demand, with a tendency to advance in price. Lead is more in ruezaT i 1 it, and price stationa r y.

CROWN COURT,—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Joseph Mottram, 35, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a receipt with intend to defraud. The Hon. Mr. Grimstone prosecuted; Mr. T. Cham bers was counsel for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, who was a man in a re spectable position is the town of Buntingford, filled the office of secretary to the Widow and Orphan Fund con nected with a society of Odd Fellows in London, and it was his duty to receive the contributions of the mem bers, and to pay over the allowances to those persons who were entitled to them, and in the event of there being a balance against him, or in his favour, at the ex piration of each quarter, it was the duty in the one case to transmit it to the parent society in London, and in the other to request the secretary of that society to send him the amount he had overpaid. In December, 1850, the prisoner, it appeared, sent a statement of ac counts to Mr. Crompton, the London secretary, by which he claimed a balance of 3/. is., and among the vouchers accompanying the account was a receipt of a person named Mary Sha,chelton for a sum of 11. 165., due on the 2d December, 1850, which receipt it was alleged was a forgery. Mary Shackelton, the person in question, stated that she never signed such a receipt, and that she had not authorised the prisoner to sign it for her; but upon her cross-examination it ap peared that she lived six miles from Buntingford, and that she did not apply for her money at the time it was due, but received it at different periods, and sometimes the prisoner brought it to her. It also appeared that she could not write, and it was suggested that when the ' prisoner paid her the money upon one occasion she must have known that he had signed a receipt for her and it seemed that the signature was written in the pri soner's ordinary hand, without the least attempt at dis guise. The secretary of the society also stated that ho should not have given the prisoner credit for any money unless he sent him a voucher, and that he had written to the prisoner upon some occasions to keep his accounts regularly, and have the payments of each quarter set tled as soon as possible after each period had elapsed. Mr. Cuaeneefts upon these facts contended that the prisoner had merely been guilty of an irregularity in signing the receipt in question, and that his object was only to have hie quarterly account settled, without any intention to defraud the society, or the person who was entitled to the money. His LORDSRIP having summed up, The jury foundthe prisoner Not Guilty, stating, at the same time, it was their opinion that he had only been guilty of an irregular act, without intending to defraud. David Claridge, 15, was indicted for setting fire to a barn, the property of Richard Oakley. Mr. Hawkins conducted the prosecution. It appeared from the testimony of numerous witnesses that the prisoner, who is a labouring lad, lived with his mother in the village of Cockernhoe, near Ilitchen; and it seemed that in the month of July last one of his brothers was found by a neighbour named Bligh in the act of taking some cherries that belonged to a another neighbour named Hill, when she informed the latter of the circumstance, and this occasioned a good deal of ill feeling between the prisoner and both the families of the Hills and the Bligns. On the evening of the 15th ofJuly the prisoner met a lad belonging to the Bligh family, and after some angry words they fought, and it appeared that the prisoner had the worst of the battle, and when they were separated he was in a violent rage, and threatened that he would do for the " whole -- kit of them" before long, and he said he would not pull his shirt sleeves down until he had had revenge. It ap peared that very soon after this he was seen to go out of his mother's cottage towards the barn belonging to the prosecutors, and as it was a large wooden building and very inflammable, and immediately adjoined the cot tages occupied by the Hill and the Bligh families, there was very little doubt that the prisoner anticipated that the fire would communicate to them, and that they would also be consumed. It appeared that immediately after setting fire to the barn he ran home, and the next day he absconded, and on his being taken into custody shortly afterwards he made statements to the constable which, coupled with the other circumstances of the case, left no doubt of his guilt. The prisoner, when asked if be had anything to say in his defence, replied that he had nothing to say, he jury found him Guilty. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that the crime of arson appeared to have been carried on to so great an extent in this county that it was absolutely necessary it should be repressed by the arm of the law. He, therefore, not withstanding the prisoner's youth and apparent respec tability, felt it imperative upon him to pass a severe sentence as a warning to others. He then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fourteen years. INSOLVENT DEBTORS'gCOUR7', Feb. 28. A Frenchman, named Francois Aulagi ner , who had i been a dealer in fancy goods, n Old Cavendish -street, applied to be discharged. Mr. Cooke opposed for th e Soho L oan Society, and also for a lady named Fredericks; Mr. Dowse supported. The insolvent had raised money from Loan Societies. He had been concerned in several loans which were now owing in part to the Soho Loan Society. H e was put forth as the security, but now admitted that he had part of the money. A portion of the loans had been paid, and he meant to pay all. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told him he was now paying the loans by means of the court.—(A laugh.) The insolvent was examined on his affairs, and alleged he could not understand. In answer to a question where his wife was living, he said, " in the churchyard," which he explained by saying she was dead. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS , requested him not to affect so much simplicity; be knew very well what he was about. It appeared that the insolvent had parted with the lease of his house in Old Cavendish-street, to his brother, and he was now in Paris. An application was made on m i ses . A i j r u t d h g e to m e a n n t n w e a r s inp r w ay b e i d e b e t n b t e h d e e part a o ,i f b th e e en lo i a n n . the part of Mrs. Fredericks for possession of the pre •Y cewulMrmsrePardan. Commissioner PHILLIPS was of opinion that it case for a remand under the discretionary clause for three months from the vesting order, but he would adjourn the case for the lease and possession of the house to be given up . His HoNona said that loan societies were their own insurers, but he thought this was a case for a judgment under the discretionary clause. INTELLIGENCE. NSION-HO USE. A we ll-dressed iAman, whose name was stated on the police-sheet to be Edward Williams, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having stolen a bag of sovereigns, belonging to Mr. Bird, of the Burton Ale-rooms, Cheap side. It appeared in evi dence that the prisoner had never I been to the house until the last week, and on the pre vious evening be had been drinking in the coffee-room, and afterwards, on the invit a ti on of M r . Bi r d, he came i n to the bar-parlouri where Mrs. Bird, her son, and two or three gentlemen, lodgers in the house, were sitting. Between two and three o'clock that morning the bar maid also went into the bar-parlour and sat with M rs . Bird, who, with the prisoner were there There was a basket on the table near the pri soner. Mrs. Bird had collected all the and put money taken, the sovereigns in a bag, and the half-sovereigns in another bag, and put all in the basket, and after the barmaid had gone in she saw the pri soner band into put his the basket, take out one of the bags and put it into his pocket. Mrs. Bird was at the still.sMo n r ra.nTaAbout two o time waiting for the prisoner to leave, whose appearance she did not like, and asked him to go. He, however, took her impudently in his arms; she then became much excited and told him he was a villain and he must leave the house directly, and began to push him towards the door, when the barmaid celled to her to look out for her money bags, and that the prisoner had the sovereign bag in his pocket. Mrs. Bird, who by that time was pushing him out of the house, hearing what was said, laid hold of him with one hand, the barmaid being on the other side, and with the other hand took the bag out of his pocket, while Mr. Bird called the police. The p r i soner struggled very much, and at the moment when a policeman ca me u p , the sovereigns all f ell out of the bag on the grou nd - The prisoner was, howev er, secured and the gold a lse - - Remanded.

Vington - partner in his alleged , The prisoner, with a woman, the guilt, had, ' upon their apprehension a few days ego iv 1 I roperty, EVENING, MARCH l, 1852. the Hotel de l'Europe, Leicester-street, Leicester-square' made the most desperate efforts at self-destruction. in which they would no doubt have succeeded but fcr the great vigilance of the police. Mr. C. Otway, superintendent of the C through whose astuteness the culprits were traced and captured, as well as the whole of the property recovered, entered the Hotel de l'Europe, accompanied by a police inspector, where they found the accused, when, upon making known the nature of their errand, the male pri soner suddenly took a razor from his pocket and lowered his head, evidently with the intention of cutting his throat, but was prevented by the officer suddenly spring ing upon him. He, however, succeeded in mutilating his arm very severely with the razor, which he had no sooner dropped than the woman seized it, and in an in stant inflicted a most dreadful wound upon herself across the tendons of the left arm. So desperate was the re sistance of the parties and the desire to carry on the work of self-mutilation that the officers were obliged to throw them on the ground is a pool of blood and there hold them until assistance could be procured, which was not until after some little delay, owing to the fright oc oasieaed by the circumstances. Medical aid was imme diately sent for. The officers, having bound up the prisoners' arms as well as they were able with hand kerchiefs in order to stop the bwmorrhage, the accused were conveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital, where both remained until yesterday, when the male prisoner was considered sufficiently recovered to be brought to this court—'he woman still continuing in the hospital. Mr. Superintendent Otway stated the leading fea tures of the case with much minuteness, and called wit nesses in support of it. Tho facts are briefly these:— On the 11th instant Caroline Kramer, a German, en tered the service of Dr. D'Alquen with a character pur porting to bear the seal of the town-council of her na tive place, and on the following day asked permission to go out for an hour, which was granted; when having left the street door open at her departure, she pre tended on her return that a valuable brooch, given her by the prisoner Strosen, and her master's great coat from the hall, had been stolen by some stranger, who must have entered the house during her absence. On the same day Mrs. D'Alquen missed a sovereign. On the 16th the prisoner Strosen was seen at the house in conversation with Kramer, and shortly afterwards the latter absconded from the house, immediately upon which Mrs. D'Alquen missed her jewel case with its valuable contents of diamond rings, brooches, chains, &c., and also a 101. note, besides other articles. Information was given to the police, and Mr. Otway having traced her to a pawnbroker's, where she had pledged the property, followed her to the Hotel de l'Europe, where she had taken an apartment with Strosen, and captured them both at the moment they were about to start, with all their luggage packed up for Dover. The seal from which the impression was made upon Kramer's written charac ter was found upon Strosen, and the jewel-case of Mrs. D'Alquen's, with some articles belonging to her, in his portmanteau. _ _ The prisoner denied the charge, and endeavoured to account for having inflicted the injuries upon himself by stating that he thought he was arrested to be taken to his own country for something. Prisoner was remanded for a week. Mr. BRODERIP observed that he could not allow the case to pass without the expression of his great satisfac tion at the activity and presence of mind displayed by Mr. Otway and his inspector under such exciting cir cumstances. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Friday a court was held for the dispatch o . business. Upon the motion of Mr. H. Tlylor, it was referred to the officers and clerks' committee to inquire when any new appointment to office had been made, and whether any addition to the salaries of officers had been voted by any committee, without the concurrence of the court. Mr. Mortimer, the Chairman of the Navigation and Port of London Committee, brought up a report, with the drafts of petitions to Parliament, against the Bills of the Grand Junction and Southwark and Vauxhall Water works Companies, as calculated to abstract largely from the waters of the river Thames, and injuriously affect the tolls. The report and the petitions were unanimously adopted. THE ISLINGTON MARKET BILL. Mr. H. L. Taylor, Chairman of the Markets Improve ment Committee, brought up a report, of which the fol lowing is the substance:— " That your committee have considered the said Bill, and they find that it is proposed thereby to authorise the Islington Cattle Market Company to enlarge the mar ket at Islington, and also to repeal the Act for establish ing that market, of the sth and 6th Wm. IV., c. 3, by which compensation is granted to the Corporation of London for any diminution of the tolls received by them in respect of Smithfield-market, consequent upon the opening of the market at Islington. That your com mittee referred the said Bill to a deputation, who on Tuesday the 17th day of February instant, held a con ference with the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., h( r Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, when Sir George Grey promised to con sider the provisions of the Bill, and subsequently in formed Mr. Masterman, one of the Members for the city of London, that he thought that that part of the Bill which proposed to extend the present market at Isling ton ought to be withdrawn. "That on the second reading of the said Bill in the House of Commons on the 20th inst., Sir George Grey stated his objections to the clauses for the enlargement of the market, and drew the attention of the Com mittee to whom the said Bill was to be referred, to those clauses, and that if they were not withdrawn the further progress of the Bill ought to be opposed. The promoters of the Bill stated that they were of opinion such a course would not be objected to; and the Bill was read the second time. "That your committee consider that the enlargement of the Islington-market will be contrary to the intention of the Metropolitan Cattle-market Act, passed in the last session of Parliament, which enacts that no new cattle market shall be opened in the City of London, or West minster, or the liberties thereof or the borou7„h of South wark, or at any place less than seven miles in a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, i n t h e Ci ty o f Lon don; and they are also of opinion that the principle of compensation granted to the Corporation by the Act sth and 6th William IV., cap. 3, should be secured to them by the Bill now pending in Parliament—and your com mittee recommend to this Honourable Court, that they should be empowered to oppose the said Bill in Parlia ment; and they have directed the Remembraneer to prepare the draft of a petition to the House of Commons against the said Bill, and your committee having ap proved the draft of the said petition, they submit the same to this Honourable Court. " Dated this 26th day of February, 1852. H. L. TAYLOR, JAMES Low. GEO. TAYLOR, WILLIAM WILLIAMS. GEORGE HARKER, W. TYLER. JEREMIAH EVANS, R. OBBARD. T. HOLT, J. RUTTER. T. H. HALL, EDWARD HARRISON!' Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR said if it cow(' have been sup posed that the Government or Parliament had contem plated such a thing as rendering assistance to any other market than that which the City had taken upon them to erect, the Corporation would, of course, have hesitated to accept the offer which had been made to them. He did not anticipate any such unfair play, and submitted the report in perfect reliance upon the unanimous con sent of the Court.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BENNOCH did not rise to oppose the reception of the report, and would be sorry to re-open a Smithfield debate. His object in addressing the Court was to ask a question of some importance and interest to the public. tie felt gratification in the fact that, in accepting the proposal of the Government, the City had shown that it had come to its senses, but he begged to be candidly in formed whether the committee was not at that moment negotiating for the purchase of Islington-market? — (Hear, hear.) He did not believe the report, but it certainly had been widely circulated. Mr. ANDERTON expressed his regret that the Corpora tion had had anything to do with the new market, which was a Government measure, and therefore ought to be protected by the Government against the Islington market Bill.--(Hear.) Mr. Deputy LOTT was sorry to say that the Corpora tion had descended to a very low position, and allowed itself to be dragged at the chariot-wheels of any Go vernment. He believed that the new market would prove a decided failure, and although he so generally ap proved of and supported the views of Mr. 11. L. Taylor as to be called his man Friday, he begged leave to differ from that gentleman in opinion as to the conduct of the Corporation in adopting the design of the Govern ment.—(Hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, in answer to the question of Mr. Bennoch, assured that gentleman that the committee had not the slightest notion of purchasing Islington market.—(Hear.) On the contrary, the committee per fectly agreed in the opinion that Islington was not the place for a market. It was erroneous, too, to t su e pp ee ose - that the committee had altered its opinion on the ject. The committee was convinced that the pro posed by the Corporation was the best site, but. neces sitythe had led to the adoption of the proposal I) Go vernment.

Whittimore by the Lord a ppointwer_l and Court of Aldermen to be minister of St. M a yor Jones Duke's-place. Mr. HALL moved, " That the Court agree with the report." Mr. ANDERTON thought the Court was bound to ex press itself strongly on the subject. Mr. BLAKE was of opinion that there was no neces sity at all for any resolution on the subject. The opinion of the eminent counsel named was sufficient authority for proceeding to fill up the office.—(Hear, hear.) After a brief discussion, the report was unanimously agreed to, and, together with the opinion of counsel on the subject, ordered to be printed in the minutes of the Court. CITY GALS COMPANIES. The Chief Commissioner of Sewers brought t l l 3 3 re port recommending the appointment of a chemical referee and meter inspectors to test the quality of the gas and the regularity of the meters supplied by the Grest;Cearal. Gas C9/341,102er8' Company. The regtll4` tions as to the duties and emoluments of those officers had, in conformity with the terms of the Act of Parlia ment, been agreed to between the Commissioners and the chairman of the company, and he felt t‘atisfied they would give general satisfaction. He moved that the Court do agree with the Commissioners in their re port.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, said he should move as an amend ment, " That the report be sent back for reconsidera tion, with instractfous to introduce far more stringent regulations than those which the report contained." Mr. Deputy Lorr seconded the amendment. After some observations from Mr. Norris, Mr. Har rison, Mr. Elliott, and Mr. Dakin, the amendment was negatived and the original motion carried, w ith on ly three hands in opposition. Dr. Letheby was then elected chemical referee, and Mr. Taunton was appointed meter inspector.—Ad journed. FEMALE EMIGRATION FUND. The twenty-first party of female emigrants sent ont under the auspices of the committee of this fund, left the Fencburch-street station of the Blackwell Railway, on Saturday morning, at half past nine o'clock, to join the ship Fortitade, of Scarborough, Captain Heyward, bound for Port Philip, and which lay at anchor (If the Tovin Pier, Gravesend. The weather was very unfa vourable' heavy showers of rain falling' frequently du ring the day, and there was consequently a small attend ance of the members of the committee to witness the em barkation of their prot6yees. Among those present, how ever, in spite of the adverse circumstance, were the two most indefatigable lady members, the Hon. Mrs. Sidney Herbert and the lion. Mrs. Stuart Wortley, accompanied by Miss Carlton. The gentlemen were Mr. M. T. Hig gins and the Rev. Joseph Brown, rector of Christ Church, Blackfriars. The emigrants were fifty in number, inclusive of four under the denomination of " protected passengers " that is, less destitute emigrants, who were permitted to form part of the party by paying the cost of their own passage. The fact of these protected passengers placing themselves under the regulations of the committee is a sufficient comment on the care and attention paid to the comforts of the emigrants. The party, whose ages . vary from 16 to 35, consist principally of sempstresses, shoe binders, stockingmakers, and domestic s er vants , w h o are rescued from the privations and perils of a precarious subsistence here, and have before them the prospect of steady and remunerative employment in another he misphere. The emigrants appeared to be in a comfort able and well-tended condition; a circumstance attri butable, doubtless, to their stay for a few weeks previous at the committee's " home" in Hatton-garden, where they are under the supervision of Mrs. Catkin, the ma tron, and are frequently visited by the more active members of the ladles' committee. Indeed, the remark of the medical officer of the establishment was, that this was the most healthy group that the committee bad ever dispatched. The party, having arrived at Blackwell, were con ducted by Mrs. Batkin on board the Vesper. Gravesend steam boat, which conveyed them to the Fortitude, a fine ship of 850 tons burden, and possessed of excellent sea-going qualities. The emigrants having been trans ferred to their own cabin—a light, roomy, and well ventilated compartment which had been fitted up for them amidships—were passed in review berore Captain Lean, R.N., Government emigration officer for the port of London, and Dr. Sparke, Government medical in spector of emigrants, who pronounced their condition in every respect satisfactory. The girls were then called up seriatim to receive their application papers, which will serve them as testimonials to character in their new house. Tory were els° esseli handed a letter to instructions for the regulation of their conduct during the voyage and atter its termination, and they next received fruit] Mrs. Herbert an envelope directed to herself, accompanied by a request on the part of that honourable lady that they would remember to write to her after their arrival, informing her how they got through the prasage, what kind of situations they had obtained, and generally as to their prospects and position in the land of their adoption. Those of them who could write faithfully promised to comply with this injunction, and those who could not, averred that they would learn on their voyage in order to do so. Mr. HIGGINS then delivered a short exortation, which he said he had been requested to do in the absence of the Right lion. Sidney Herbert, whose regret he was authorised to express at being detained in London by pressing business, which prevented him from being pre sent to bid them all farewell. Mr. Higgins then pro ceeded to give them some excellent advice, first pointing out to them the necessity for maintaining, by their mu tual forbearance and good conduct during the passage, the high characters with which they left tneir native country, for unless the captain and mate on their arrival in the colony could give a favourable report of th em they y in obtaining goo d p l aces. Every provision find great made to secu re t h e i r comfort, would p g h r a e d at bdeiffiencu made and he hoped they would all be obedient to Mrs. Palmer, the matron, who was going out with them, and would endeavour to improve themselves during the few months they were at sea. When they reached their destination they would rind persons there connected with the society who would do their best to assist them in finding places. He would recommend them to be guided by these parties, and not to be led away by the advice of perhaps interested persons who might try to tempt them by larger wages to accept situations not so good as would be suggested by those who were acquainted with the character of the people, and the proper rate of remune ration. And when they had obtained places they must endeavour to remain in them; for they might depend upon it that a servant could have no worse character than that of being always shifting about. With pa tience, industry, and good conduct he had no doubt they would succeed, and if any of them were anxious to have a relative sent out to them, and would save 71. from their earnings and remit it to the committee in part payment of the passage money, the party would be sent out pro vided she was of the proper character. They had all received a printed copy of a letter from Mrs. Herbert, containing the same advice as he had just given them, only much better expressed, and he hoped they would weigh it over well in their minds and endeavour to follow it. In conclusion, he wished them all a hearty farewell, and hoped they would have a prosperous voyage. The Rev. Mr. Brown, at the request of Mrs. Herbert, then delivered a brief address to the girls, in which he feelingly enjoined upon them the duty of attending re gularly to their religious obligations, and in listening to which they appeared to be much affected. The emigrants then sat down to their first dinner on board ship, and were regaled with an ample supply of the " roast beef of old England." The exertions of the distinguished ladies present in ministering to the solace and comfort of their humble, but evidently grate ful charge, afforded a truly touching spectacle; and it is saying but little to remark that the cheerful and ac tive devotedness they displayed in their labour of love is a theme too high for praise. The visiting party having taken their final leave of the emigrants, returned to town by the same convey ance as they left it, the expectation being that the For titude weak' weigh anchor and proceed on her voyage on Sunday (yesterday) morning. It may be here stated that only about a month has elapsed since the preceding party was , ' sent nut by the comtnittre per the Eaphrates, comprising six's young women, and that total num ber already dispa:chfd by the committee is 750. It was remarked by Captain Lean, during his official inspeettou on Saturday, that out of no fewer than 500 emigrant ships which have sailed fir South Australia from the port of London during the last five years, not one o them has been lost.
