National Brazilian Mining Company. This was not a position to command credit ; and Mariner, not choosing to appear by name in the Exchequer-bills negotiations, had 'these transactions conducted by Francis de Berkem, dividing the profits between them. "F. de Berkem's father, who had failed in busi ness as a merchant, was soon after admitted as a broker on the Stock Exchange. After the panic of 1825, the son, when very young, was sent out as confidential clerk to Mr. Oxenford, then the ma naging director of a mine in Brazil, and now one of the Directors of the Commercial Bank of London. Afterwards, De Berkem left his situation, to become a principal, and had a mine of his own ; but it did not answer, and he returned to England. In 1836, he became a member of the Stock Exchange, and stood in second or third-rate credit. ' His general character was, that he was very seldom sober.' " The following is the account given of Louis Napoleon's enterprise, from which it would appear that he was the dupe of the stock jobbers : " The _ speculations in companies having again proved unprofitable, Solari was easily persuaded by Rapallo to limit their operations to jobbing in the public securities, and, in the meanwhile, to take such measures as would insure better chances than before. The basis of their operations continued to be the po litical events on the Continent. During their former enterprise, no important event would occur. In order not Io be again disappointed in their expectations, they resolved to prepare one; not ,so paltry a one as would . affect the funds only to a fractional amount, but such a one as might change the destinies of Europe and convulse the Stock Exchange. " The wise policy of the French Government assisted them in the execution of their projects. In stead of leaving Louis Napoleon alone amongst the poor Switzerlanders, where he could do comparatively nothing, and where he perhaps would have recovered from his fits of ambition, the French statesmen, choosing to be afraid of the young man, threatened a war with Switzerland, unless the Republic expelled the nephew of Napoleon, who acted, in these eircum stac:ees like a sensible gentleman, and in order to save his a jonted country fwm an invasion, sought an asylum in Eng:L ind ' " The arrival of an avowed pretender in‘ ohist , country was considered as a -odsend by our spell lators. They soon contrived to be intr:.. duced to h im r and the plan of operations was settled in a very. time ; the double object of the operators being to give to Louis Napoleon an imperial crown, and to reap for themselves a golden harvest of millions of English sovereigns. They would not be satisfied with less, besides the honour and glory of the achievement. " Before sending the future emperor on his dynastic journey, it was necessary to prepare public opinion for the_ change, to unite the Bonapartist party, and to provide an .organ for the furtherance of their interests and their principles. A newspaper was started in Paris for that purpose, in the spring of 1839, under the title of Le Capitole. One M. Bonnet, whom Ra pallo calls his friend, was the cashier of that paper ; and, if all the accounts of Solari and Rapallo were produced, there would be found abundant proof that the proceeds of a portion of the Exchequer bills were applied to the creation of the Capitole, and to its sup port during the whole period of its existence. " One year was consumed in this preliminary at tempt of invasion on public opinion, preparatory to the actual invasion of the territory of France ; and, at the end of that time, it was discovered that only .a very small number of the French had rallied round the Capitole ; that, whatever might be the causes, its advocacy of the Idees Napoleoniennes* did not obtain the anticipated success, and that the assistance of another newspaper was requisite. The party, there fore, bargained for the Journal du Commerce, then the property of M. Mauguin, the deputy, and counsel (in Paris) of the French Asphaltum and Patent Coal Company, as I have before stated. The price paid, according to my authorities, was 14,0001. sterling. Here, again, the accounts of Solari and Rapallo would prove that part of the proceeda of the Exchequer .bills were invested in the purchase.t " The success of the grand enterprise now appeared so certain, that they began to prepare for their ex pedition ; and it was reported in Paris, towards the end. of June, that every thing was ready in London and that the landing of the pretender might be daily expected. "The treaty of the 29th of July, 1840, and the irri tation which it produced in France, seemed to furnish a most favourable opportunity. Time bargains in the French and other funds being duly made, Louis Napoleon was expedited; and, on the sth of August, he landed, visited the Imperial column, and, soon after entering Boulogne, was led a prisoner into the Citadelle. " The expenses of this expedition, which were con siderable, were also paid with the proceeds of the Exchequer bills, as would appear from the accounts of Solari and Rapallo, if those accounts were pro duced ; and, even without them, there is sufficient evidence of the fact, in the accounts of other parties. From the 23d to the 31st of June, Solari obtained loans on Exchequer bills, as follows :—from Price and Co., 12,000/. ; from Ran som, 6,000/. ; from Morgan, 10,000/. ; from Mariner, 23,6001. On the 23d of June, Solari withdrew from Ransom and Co. 3,900 French Napoleons, which he had deposited with them eight .days before, and a prtion of those Napoleons were found on board the Edinburgh Castle, when taken possession of by the French authorities. "As to the personal participation of Rapallo, it is admitted by all parties, as well as by himself, that he engaged the ship from John Harman, the acting Director of the Commercial Steam Packet Company, and his co-Director in foUr Companies ! ! Rapallo admits that he 'used to receive money for Louis Napoleon, and that he lost immensely through his failure.' " The author contends very earnestly, and shows sotitemnet i r s e a n s e t i n t i h e fo r r m l o i i r s al o l p y i n n i o o i r i , letlgiaatnytlrieesGpoonvseirbt;e to the parties holding the. forged Exchequer bills, and that it ought not to pay them. They ought, he affirms, to have acted with more cau tion. He insists that the parties holding the bills ought to have sought their remedy by suing those from whom they received them, and that, if this had been done as soon as the fraud was discovered, a great portion of the property ac quired by the deposit of the forged bills, would have been recovered. It is certainly a curious !natter, worthy of inquiry, what became of the proceeds of the bills? Somebody must have profited by the forgery; and the public would like to know who that somebody is. Three hundred thousand pounds cannot easily be lost sight of; and the present possessors of the Money, for which the Exchequer bills were deposited, should be signalised. An immense forgery has been perpetrated, and nobody knows who benefited by the guilt. Is Rapallo a rieh man ? Is Mrs. Solari a lady of great wealth ? Or have the gentlemen of the Foreign Stock Exchange been the better for Mr. Rupallu guilt? * The title of a volume published by Louis Napoleon about the time. The liberal and anti-English M. Mauguin, through the agency of nis secretary, the present Editor, re-pur chased this Journal for 5,00 C/. sterling. Under the above title a sensible pamphlet has been Published, a few extracts from which will be interesti ng . The writer finds fault with the Ina " le r in which the Commissioners conducted thei r i nquiry, and asserts t h at, if t h e y h a d been alert and vigilant, much more would have bee n a tscovef.ed. He says— " The declaration of Smith positively stated, that he had been hurled into the abyss of guilt, by the irresistible inflaence of high personages ; that none of the bah. the were signed when delivered by him ; th at signatures must have been affixed afterwards ; and that to atone for his transgressions as much as lay in his Power, he was willing to assist in any investiga uun, and to make a full confession of all he knew of the affair. Was not this a sufficient motive for the ~' Commissioner s -to abide by the letter of the Act of Parliament which had appointed them ? Had they entered into the par ti c ulars of the case, they would have found th a t Smith had long been acquainted with .‘apallo, a through an uncle of Rapallo's , who, al though foreigner, had long held a confidential office in the Treasury, and who was so dissatisfied with his nephew, that, at his death, he did not leave him a farthing I They would have discovered a parcel of Knights, Baronets, and Lords, by courtesy, in con nexion with Solari, at the beginning of those trans actions. They would have had in evidence, that an n nwarrantable use had been made of the nam e of a Noble Duke, arid of that of a Noble Earl no* 110 More • and that the scheme had been so artfully con cocted between Solari and a countryman of his, who successively held a responsible situation in the service of the two exalted personages, that Smith might have been deceived at first ; and all that would have led to the discovery, and probably to the recovery, of some part of the property acquired by means of the spur-- , 'ous bills. " 13y not investigating that part of the case, the 1 - 44 mmissioners have added to the strength of the sus picions so long entertained. It is openly said, that they confined themselves within such narrow limits, for the sole purpose of screening .the influential par !les alluded to by Smith. I again protest that such is not my opinion, and that I believe them to be wholly incapable of acting in such a manner; but they have singularly erred in their judgment, and such is the result of their error." The writer seems to know a good deal of the I ndividuals connected with Solari, of some of whom he speaks thus : " William Morgan, in his examination says, that (I ,e bad b een introduced to Solari by a Mr. Green, his friend, in 1836 ; that he knew nothing of his ap• pa a herent circumstances, property, and manner of living ; t knew Rapallo only on his being introduced to bY Solari as his agent; that he never knew the Kne w ' 1 1 , "se, nor. even the office of Solari; that he never any individual cheq uer •, sutn s more so frequently borrowing so large b d o for such a length of time, on Ex ut ever selling one ; that, although Rapall o h ad once bearing a wrongck, da e t P e osited with him Exchequer bills ba other tha n genu i ne, or of int ere st, a nd which he gave yet he had never .suspected th os e bills of being improp er l y come by.' " Mariner states, that` he was introduced to Solari by a Mr. Charles M. ; that his transactions bankrupt who soon after became a 1 838 ; but that, anactions with hint began in had been of service to previously to those transactions, he him, and giving Solari, by making out accounts for in the City • tiiatnhal information respecting par tiesral merchant, and knew that th nothing t of him er but h t as . agene that, notwithstanding the chara e cte ' r as a n n o d e a x m tent r of an his operations he never had any suspicions, even when 501. we re expended forthe recovery of one of the bills which had been exchanged for another.' x roneis de B er k em was i ntroduce d to S o l ar i by Mariner knew n o thi ng o f S o l ar i an d R apa ll o , and never . went to obtain inf orma ti on a b ou t th em , although theirloan transaction s , w ith hi m on l y , amoun ted to 85 1 ,0 0 0/. ste r li ng year l y. And, althoug h h e was astonished a t th e c h aracter of their dealings, an d con stantly said, Why d o not t h e part i es se ll th e Ex chequer bill s ? h e ne v e r suspected anyt hi ng wrong; a i _o t even a t th e t i me h e had such a vast d ea l o f trou bl e tracing and recovering the bill which had been ex changed. H e, H e , as we ll as M ar i mer , ..vas told, and Ine3:_said to others, th a t th e y were acting for parties • Madrid, Paris, and London ; for a club in the west-e n d ; for Louis Napoleon, and for M. Thiers ; and, in spite of the contradiction between these state ments, they never had a doubt, they never inquired into the facts, and they went on circulating the bills to an incredible amount.' " Although this has been sworn to by the parties themselves, I do not believe that they have spoken the truth, the whole truth, on the subject of their ac quaintance with Solari, and their knowledge of his c i• rcumstances and of his previous transactions : and, had the investigation been conducted by men of busi ness, acquainted with the statistics and dealings of the Stock Exchange, and by a professional gentleman, , like M r . E r l e, f or examp l e , a grea t d ea l more wou ld nave been extracted. Valens nolens, the witnesses Would have deposed to the following facts. c ` Solari had been a vitriol manufacturer at Batter sea, and, as recorded in the Gazettes of the time, was a bankrupt in 1822, when he attempted to rob his creditors by fraudulently disposing of his property. Ike afterwards went into some other business at Bpsom, and failed again ; then he was, during seven Years, a n inmate, successively, of all the prisons for debt in London ; and, when released by his creditors, who had nothing to expect from him, remained, till the latter part of 1835, in such a state of distress, that he had scarcely a bed for himself and his family, and was very often in want of bread. In. 1836, however, we find him a Director of many Companies, -and entering into extraordinary transactions with Messrs. Price and Co., Ransom and Co., Morgan, &c., gtc. "Had the witnesses objected that they were ignorant of these circumstances, the Commissioners would have answered, "That is impassible : everybody knew it.' In 1838, the sharehol lers of the Brighton Railway (without a tunnel), instituted judicial proceedings against their managing Directors, Sir John Claridge, Solari, and other:, in order, to compel them to render their accounts, and pay them their balances. At the same time, an engineer of the Company was likewise obliged to sue them for the payment of his salary; and, during these litigations, the character, the pre vious transactions and circumstances of Solari, were publi c ly expose d . I n t h e S toc k E xc h ange , an d ou t o f it, everybody was apprised of all that I have stated ; it was the subject of general conversation. The name ' of Rapallo was mixed up in these public accusations, r 0,.; and no man o f res p ec t a bility wou ld condescend to ki f have anything to do with either of them. It was even iLIf,, reported, that it was during a warm explanation with n tiltr a gentleman who had been betrayed into connexion him, that.Solari had the first attack of his last illness, falling senseless in the room." 441:tort, " Rest r i c t e d as I am i n my present observations, I 401 1'; roust not say what I know, but only what has been sw clrn to by witnesses before the Commissioners. " William Morgan himself states, that he was a me mber of th e St oc k Exchange ; that in 1835 he be t cam e defaulter ; that he was waited upon by mem erg toldli"mn° urged him not to think of defaulting, and they would take his notes of hand : he an swered No 1 I shall stop at home and realize my llroPerty I have paid so much in the Stock Ex change that lam tired of it. They said, Let us in troduce Edward. I said, You may do as you please.' "Mariner also had been a member of the Stock Exchange, and had left. Ile was not asked the reasons and he did not thi n k proper to give them.

EJECTION Os' COLLIERS.—We learn that a number of colliers connected with the Clyde iron Works, amountinc, to about 100 families, have, during 'Wed nesday and Thursday, been ejected from their dwel ling-houses, which are the property of their late em ployers. The men have continued to remain out on strike, and the proprietor, we believe, has only pro ceeded to eject them after giving full warning. A part y of the Glasgow police was sen t ou t t o prevent any disturbance ; but so far as we learn, no attempt at disorder has been made by these , misguided people.— Glasgow Herald. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Earl March, and Lady Caroline Lennox, and a party visiting at Gor don Castle, were to leave that princely seat on Tuesday last, for Inverness, to be present at the North ern Meet ing. The Noble Dukeis patron of that annual exhibi tion of Highland gaines,.and the Marquis of Douro, Lord Lovat, Lord Ward, Hon. W. Fraser, Cluny Macpherson, and The Chisholm, are the stewards this year. The meeting was, to commence on 'Wednesday last. Two eagles of extraordinary beauty have lately been shot by sportsmen in the environs of Mans (Sarthe).

After Sheridan Knowles' play of the Hunchback, Gretry's Opera of Richard Occur de Lion, with additional orchestral accompaniments by Adolphe Adam, was revived at this „theatre last evening. This opera is interesting on many accounts. It is interesting as being one of the earliest and best works of the father of the modern school of French music—the friend of Jean Jacqueißousseau, who, ! occupying the cottage at Montmorency, after Jean Jacques' death, and preserving it with a religious care, has made ?Montmorency sacred ground alike to the sentimentalist and the musician—interesting, as having been produced in this country some fifty years [ since, with John Kemble as the hero, on which occasion Michael Kelly, who had just returned from Italy, visited an English theatre for the first time, and entering the box just ns John Kemble was operating in a song, fancied that if that were the English prim() tenore he should have no great difficulty in surpassing him. But there is also a deeper and more painful source of interest at tached to this opera. Its most celebrated air, " Oh! Richard, oh ! mon Roi," became, during the first French revolution, the gathering song of the Royalists. None of our readers who are at all read in the history of that eventful period, can forget the enthusiasm ex cited by this song among the 'Gerdes du Corps du. Rol at the fete at Versailles, which was raised almost to madness by the sudden appearance among them of Marie Antoinette with the Dauphin in her arms ; nei ther can they forget the terrible vengeance which the Paris mob wreaked on these imprudent but unfortu nate and devoted men two days afterwards, when, marching into Versailles, they massacred all who had taken part in that festivity, and transferred the Royal as theme opera, i e aelll'yen are.iN're Those merits, Family from Versailles to P ar i s . These extensive sources of interest are quit e su ff ic i en t to justify a re vivalofthis not so o great however, are of a high or d er . The ,prevailing characteristic of Gretry's musi c i s melody—sweet, e its intrinsic merits ex pressive melody ; and therefore his style is admirably adapted to the illustration of such a story as that of the captivity of the lion-hearted King. The principal character in the opera is, of course, Blonde ] , and an admirable representative he found in the person of Mr. W. Harrison. We have never seen this gentle man to so much advantage., The music is exactly suited to the compass of his voice; he had evidently studied it carefully, and he executed it cen amore His opening song, the celebrated " Oh! Richard, oh ! mon Roi," was given with great feeling; and the duet at the end of the first act, with Miss Rainforth, was not only sung but acted in admirable style, and elicited a well-de served encore. In - the scene in which Richard is dis covered by the song, Mr. llarrison displayed a taste and pathos, for the possession of which we did not give him credit. He was excellently supported by Mr. Travers, as Richard; and here again he elicited a rapturous encore. The scenery is beautiful, there were some pretty dances, mid the music is of a cha racter to please all those who delight in exqusite me lody. Doubtless the opera will draw, Thu house was well filled. ADELPHI. Douglas .Terrold's interesting drama of the Hazard of the Die was performed at this theatre last evening with a very strong cast, and was completely 04pppss.. ful, The acting of Lyon as the Gamester was ter rifically energetic. 'The beautiful ballet of the Daughter qf the Danube followed, for the purpse of introducing Madame Procho Giuhilei to an Adelphi audience as Fleur-dos-Champs , Wioland, as the Imp, was as grotesque and laughter-moving as ever. The house was crammed to the ceiling. NEW ZEALAND COMPANy, A Special Court of the proprietors of this great ti dertaking was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the Company's offices, New Broad-street, for the pur pose of considering a dividend. li. Captain Shortly after one o'clock, .11. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P., in the absence of the (i - overnop, tcalk the chair; At this WOO WO 1101PP4 altll-4Pg those present, Sir J. Goldsmid, Bart., Mr. King Mr. Gower, Mr, C. Buller, 111. P„ Mr, Mangles, AP. Norville, Mr, SheritY Pileher, Admiral Sir A. Far quhar, Mr, Hihbert, and Mr, Vincent Eyre, AfiLmpy, M,V,, On - taking the chair, said that the present meeting was called for the purpose of considering of a dividend, and such being the case he should confine any observations he had to make to that point alone. Ile could assure the Prqprietilra that the Threctors i in the f.e.iirso they had adapted while t.l 49y con§Flmd 'their interest, ... • 1441 not 60n untninchin at that higher purpose which ought to be their first considerati9u, namely, the public advantage.--(Chime s ,) Tt was a great satis factlon or him to state that, from all the wow; O they had reeelred i the Colony W? Vollig on m os t prPsperowly ; to as the Proprietors would gather that from the Report, he would not further advert to the subject till it was read. The following Report w ag then read by the Se cretary :--- a dividend, your for the purpose of considering. Directors will confine their Report to the u This Court of Proprietors having been specially specific object of the meeting, reserving, as on former occasions, their general exposition of th e affairs of the Company for the Annual Meeting in May. " For - particular information respecting the assets and liabilities ef the company, your PirVclor s 1 9 to refer you to statement C, appended to their 1 ifth paragraph of that Report, directing your attention to Report, submitted to you in Nay last. In the 22d the statement in question, you were apprised that the universal stagnation of enterprise, depressing most seriously every interest connected with the shipping, the commerce, the manufactures, and the general domestic industry of this country, and extending, with still more mischievous effe c t s , to the Australian Co lonies, had restricted those sales of land , fr om which— apart from the progressive enhancement of the value of your territorial ,possessio n s—the annual income of the Company must be derived. The four m onths that have elapsed sin ce th e Fifth Report was laid before you, have prod uce d, as you are well aware , no general improvement of the condition of any of the great interests above referred to; and it would be vain to expect that at a time when the active and industrious classes are struggling with unparalleled difficulties, their attention should be directed towards colonial orin ves,t,iiniclnttrsuti, l a t d h v e en t t r i a ir n e s s ac ii t • t i o th ns the .ile same C ear om ne p s a t n n y ess are as this in a period of national prosperity. necessarily of such a nature as to render it very un likely that its returns in money should be steady and equable enough to admit of the payment of a dividend unvarying in amount. The assets of the Company consist mainly of land. That land in a state of na ture, without population t o rec l a im and cultivate it, and without capital to sustain that population whilst thus engaged, is utterly valueless. population and wealth, the value of the land must rise increasing rati o . But in a rapidly With increasing it may so happen, that in any given half-year or even year, the opera tions requisite to give such value may absorb a large part, or even the whole of the price realised from the sale of land within that period. Yet, at the same time, the value of the assets of the Company may have largely increased, an d its prosperity be placed u p o n greatly extended and strengthened foundations. Having this view of your position and interests, your Directors are in no wise discouraged by a temporary diminution in the demand in this country for your land. It is not merely that this Company could not expect to enjoy a special exemption from the influence of general causes of depression, but that the amount of money realised from sales of land in any limited period is by no means the only—nor even the principal--standard, by which the position of the Company should be esti mated. Such sales, if Pressed on at inadequate prices, or made upon. unsou n d pr i nc i p l es , th oug h they might create a snort-lived semblance of pros perity, and afford the temporary means of paying large dividends, wo uld ultimately , be in the highest degree injurious to your hest interests. What is of paramount importance to thos e i nterests i s, that whether, at any given time, sales b e man y o r few, your measures should _ be steadily di recte d t owa rds the grand object of enhancing the value of the vast property which you possess in New Z ea land. Upon the energy and judgment with whi c h th a t object i 3 pursued, the prosperity of the Company must depend. Of this, as well as that the stagnation in the demand for land is trassitory, Your Director s have been so entirely convinced, that they h ave spared no exer tions, during the halfyear just conc l u d e d , to pour into New Zealand that t ide capitalists and l a bourer!, by which alone value can be given to your nossessions in thos e i s l an d s, an d b y the continued influx of which that value may be almost indefinitely e n h anced. They have combined with their efforts to this end whatever steps appeared to them best calculated to advance most rapidly, and to place upon the most secure foundations, the pros perity of the settlements which you have founded; being actuated to this course, by n o t only a sense of duty towards the colonists, but by the clear percep tion that every addition to the Population and wealth of those settlements must enhan ce proportionately the value of the adjacent lands of the Company, although, as is obvious, o utlay directed to such objects must interfere with the means . of deriving a large imme diate return from you . r . invested capital. But your Directors are convinced .hat in the administration of affairs of such m agnitude hs those of the Company, it would be the most-sighted policy to grasp at immediate large profit, at the expense of neglecting the permanent imp rovement of )rour pnasir-issions"; and they are happy to state that they have been able to give full effect to these views. During the four months under review, whilst emigration to older Colonies in Australia has been almost entirely sus pended, that of this•CornPany has been carried on d upon without interruption , a n a great scale. The result o :theiiirenergetic pr4ceedin'gs has bee q most favOurable. The vessels chartered for th e conv eyance of fteeemigran4 have also carried out a large pro p6rtion of capitalists—the employets of labour. The latest accounts from your settlements represent them as eminently flourishing. Dispatches received on the 6th inst. from . ,Nelson state that the lands reserved for the Company in that settlement have already acquired considerable value from the general prosperity of the colonists. And during the period under review, an arrangement has been made with her Majesty's Colonial Department, which will add no less than 100,000 acres to your poSsessions. " Still, as your actual income from the sale of land has been but small ; as the general_ aspect of the times is not yet materially improved ; and as it is obviously prudent, under such circumstances, to husband your resources until there shall be a clearer prospect of a mturn of general prosperity; your Directors are cf opinion that you will do well to limit the dividend for the half-year ending the Ist of October instant, to 21. per cent., being at the rate of 51. per cent: per annum. They are convinced that by taking this cautious course, you will not only add to their power of carrying on your affairs with energy and advan tage, but that the public at large, contrasting this forbearance with the vigour and magnitude of your measures of emigration, and with the undiminished support extended to the settlements which you have planted, will be disposed to regard Your proceedings with increased fitvour, and to repose the greater con fidence in your judgment and integrity." 11. LANCE, Esq., moved that the Report be adopted, and that a dividend of two and a half per cent. for the last half year he agreed to. He thought the dividend of ten per cent. which had been pre viously granted ought never to have been made, and he could assure the meeting that he had hesitated long as to whether or not be should be connected with the Company in consequence of that exorbitant grant. He thought the present proposition, which gave a dividend, of five per cent , quite sufficient, and as much as the Company could properly grant. Mr. ARDEN seconded,the motion. The large and handsome dividend of last year, he must confess struck him with astonishment, because he thought it calcu lated rather to damage than benefit the Society. He thought a dividend of five - per cent. for an incorpo rated Company like the present was quite sufficient. The CHAIRMAN having put the question, declared the resolution to be carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said that it afforded him the greatest satisfaction to see the Report adopted unani mously. The Directors had taken the greatest pos sible pains in attending, not only to the interest of the Proprietors, but the public at large, Va. lie P e lt no doubt that the time was not far clittitnt when they would be amply repaid for all that they had done. With respect to the dividend that had hen declared, be would only say that be tit convinced that it was more for the ultf4V of tl e Vogyany that the public sheold I,) t i llen9Ated than that the dividends of the Company should be swelled, At the same time he might be permitted to say that his firm belief that the finds of the Company .RS, wtr' 3 --k — so - • fl our i sh i n g a state that they alight ee 4 ' l '7ine the late dividend, but the Dlyeetor g thought it better and more for the 3. es t ox the Company and the public to adopt the course they had now proposed, and he had no doubt that when they met again the Directors would be able to lay before the Proprietors the strongest evi dence of propriety of the present proceedings. He wished to state, before he concluded his observations, that the Directors bad received the most favourable accounts from their last established colony, Nelson, from which they were induced to hone that it would become as prosperous as its sister colonies, Wellington and New Plymouth.—(Cheers.) It might also be gratifying to the Proprietors to know that no fewer than 8,473 emigrants had been conveyed by the Com pany to where he hoped they would find a prosperous and happy home.—(Cheers.) Another most gratify ing fact which he had to announce to the Proprietors was, that coal of a quality equal to that found at Newcastle, and also lime, had been discovered near Nelsen, This would be a source of great wealth to the colony, and would aid greatly in the establish- ment of steam navigation.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from Mr. Watson, said that the Plymouth Company had merged into the present one. Air. WATCON trusted that the Directors would take into their consideration the expediency of erect ing a port at. New Plymouth, which was much wanted, in order to carry on trade there with success. CUAIRMAN said that the Directors had mult been 'unmindful of the subject alluded to by the Honourable Proprietor. They had sent out moorings, which had been of great service ; and so soon as the funds of the Company, arising from the land sales, were sufficient, after providing properly for the uurpo.ses of eMigration, the Directors would not liwliate a moment as to the course they shouldpursue. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors hav ing been unanimously carried, the meeting separated. THE AFFAIRS OF GERMANY. FRANKFORT, Oct. l.—The position of the Press in Germany is curiously illustrated by a judicial decision which was pronounced lately by one of the higher tribunals of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Before the memorable decrees of 1882 Baden had enjoyed com parative freedom of the Press. The newspapers were, indeed, under the control of a censor, ' but if they printed articles which ho prohibited, no penalty could be enfinved against them, unless a Jury decided that the article in question was punishable; The Frank fort ordinances were chiefly directed against Baden, as' the country which had the best emancipated itself from' the old-fashioned restraints that were jealously, kept up by Austria and Prussia. Baden, like the rest, was obliged to make its censorship rigorous, and for a while freedom of discussion was annihilated. After the farce of the " demagogische Autriche" (the emptiness of which was proclaimed last year officially) was played out, and the serious position in which Germany was placed by M. Thiers awakened a bol der and a better spirit in both rulers and ruled, the Gazette of Upper Germany was founded by some public-spirited citizens at Carlsruhe, and did good ser vice under the censorship of M. Griehne to the national cause. At the time it was almost the only paper in Ger many that gave leading articles, and therefore com manded more .attention abroad thanl all the rest of the Press taken together. Theimpresslon which these well penned effusions made in Paris was the best re ward of the writer, and the chief object of his exer tions. This impression was due to the tone in which they were conceived, and which left no - doubt as to their expressing the sentiments ,of an unanimous and powerful nation. The impression they made on the Baden censor was, however, not less apparent. Baillie Jarvic enforcing the law against Rob Roy, was in no greater perplexity than the worthy censorial depart ment at Carlsruhe on this manifestation of power on the part of a newspaper, which, to the honuur of all censors, seemed to have adopted the plan of taking no notice of them. Treating them as torments which might have their use on occasions which it was then nu time to discuss, the editor went on printing in spite of prohibitions and seizures, paying the fines that were laid upon him through the munificence of the proprietors, and acting as no organ of the Press had ever done before in Germany. One would have thought that the Baden Government, which were to have had to bear the brunt of the fray, if an invasion had taken place, would have felt in some measure in debted to so seasonable an ally. But the editor, like those conscious of strength, was not alway* particular as to the direction in which he used it, and seemed to think that the remedying of ahusei at home was as good a way as any other to make Germany. respected abroad, - c'Ve English, too, unhappily did not of late stand much in the Editor's favour, from the influence of a proprietor who, amongst manFamiable qualities and great diversity of talent, has lately had a propen sity for cotton-spinning, or from the not uncommon notion that manufactures are the only means to make a country rich, and that we prevent all the rest of the world from manufacturing. The Baden Govern ment, however, did not interfere to prevent the cen sor from pursuing his attacks, and he, of course, was encouraged to increase their severity. A Commissary of Police was sent into the printing-office to examine the manuscripts, and carry off any which might be in process of printing in contravention of the censorial prohibition. This course was, after some trials, dis continued as unadvisable, and the system of confiscat ing the . numbers at the Post-office adopted. This allowed the proprietora to commence a suit at law for indemnification fbr • their loss. The Magis tracy of Carlsruhe, in the first instance, in every respect, decided against the Editor, and sentenced him to the usual fine for contumacy against the tensor. An appeal was made to the Court at Rad stadt, which has decided against the Lower Court, confirming the fine, which was not disputed in the appeal, bnt ordering the property to be restored, and condemning the seizure as illegal. M. Sander, the popular Deputy, was the pleader for the paper. This decision deserves to.be known in England, as it shows the respect for private property which is found where the Courts of Justice are independent, and must, of course, influence the pre t ioetion of such un dertakings as the transit of the Indian mails, or other cases of trust. In Prussia another case of hardship has, I am sorry to say, been added to those of Messrs. Ja cob y and Hoffman. The principal teacher of the Gymna sium of Konigsberg was accused of contributing some of the leading articles of the greatest effect to the paper of that city, which, since the accession of the present King, has been foremast in the Liberal ranks. lie was required fo produce a certificate from the Rend-muter that he performed his duties satistac, torlly. The Master gave him a brilliant testimony Aa to his efficiency, but when the leading question was put to himself whether lie thought it. advantageous to the sehool to have its teachers writers in newspapers, he, of course, replied in the negative. On this M Witte was immediately dismissed from his post. Judging from the manner in which M. Witte is re spected in Prussia one would think that a censorship with any pretensions to the character of utility would use every exertio n t o ge t the papers into such hands as this instead of discouraging men of respectability and talent from supporting them. RUSSIAN FORCE IN THE BLACK SEA. SEBASTOPOL, SEPT. 11.—The fleet which sailed from this harbour about a month since, to cruise in the Black Sea, and to exercise the crews at their guns, returned about five days since. It anchored in the roads, where it presents an imposing appearance. This, squadron is composed of six ships of the line, two frigates, and three sloops. The names of the line-of-battle shies are—the Twelve Apostles, bear ing the Russian ti ice -Admiral Arvinoff's flag, and the Three Saints, both three-deckers, carrying 120 guns. These two superb ships were built at Nicolajeff, and are quite new. The crews of each consist of 800 men, and their guns are—two-thirds of 48 guns, and the remainder of 36. The other ships mount 84 guns, and are called the Mahmut, Silistria, Adrianopl e , and the Three Hierarchs. Their crews consist of 600 men each, and their guns of 32-pounders. The Sills tria having run aboard the Adrianople during the late cruise and damaged her, the latter has been laid up in dock , and it is doubtful whether she can ever be fitted for sea. Besides this fleet there are in the inner harbour six other ships fit for service, viz., the Warsaw, a three-decker, carrying 120 guns, and five carrying 84 guns. A new ship, the Varna, is daily expected from Nicolajeff. Besides the ships already mentioned, there are sii others unfit foi service. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea comprises, besides the ships above named, six frigates, eleven sloops, and six steam-boats, which are almost all employed on the coast of the Caucasus, to prevent any commu nication between the mountaineers and the Turkish ports in Asia Minor, whence the Circassians used to draw their. supplies of provisions and ammunitiou. The works of the fortifications of Sebastopol_ art tar ried on with the greatest activity. The two forts at the entrance of the bay, named Alexander and Con stantine, which are mounted with 320 pieces of cannon, are completely finished. 'The works , of the grea t f ort St. Nicholas, which consist of three rows of cannon one above the other, are nearly egmplet©. This edifice of extraordinary magnitudQ. i intended to defend, with 260 cannon, tai© Wrbour and docks, but at this moment there Are but 40 guns mounted. The most extensive works that the Itw.;slans have effected here are, without comn'lrison, the docks for repairing ships of war. • T tiese N% -.. orlcs should be seen in order to have an idea of this colossal enterprise, which wm mu. menced twelve years since, and is still ecaithitied not withstanding the numerous difficulties - opposed to the filling those docks w I'll were sufficient water. lor this purpose it was ne cP :sary to form a canal, 18 versts long, to convey: L nabs Retchlo): Thiite water from the river Tcher s canal passeS through several tun ne l ' and aqueducts. It is a British engineer named ir _sopton who is directing those works. The Emperor is so much pleased with the exertions of this gentle man that he has conferred on him a decoration, toge ther with the rank of Colonel. The Russian Admiral Lazareff, a man of great activity and an excellent seaman, is at present here, occupied in inspecting the works of the fortifications. When he has concluded this operation, he proposes to return to Nicolajeff, where lie resides, with the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the entire Russian naval force in the Black Sea. IntelligenCe has just been received here that Lieut. General Golowin, Commander-in-Chief of the Pro vinces of the Caucasus, has been recalled, and replaced by General Neidhart, one of the Emperor's Aides-de- Camp. The Prince Tschernitscheff, Russian Minister of War, still remains in Circassia. • THE DACHA OF EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 26.—Mehemet Ali sailed hence on the morning of the 17th inst. in the Nile steamer to join his fleet, accompanied by M. Tossizza, the Greek Consul. On the 18th Ibrahim Pacha ar rived here from Cairo. He - looks older than his father, although the courtiers pretend that he enjoys excellent health. Ile takes no part in political affairs, and speaks only on agricultural subjects. On the 20th Samy Paella arrived on board the Redscid Egyptian teamer from Constantinople. Ile joined Mehemet Ali on board the Admiral's ship. Shortly afterwards the Viceroy embarked on board the steamer Nile, to return to Alexandria, under a salute from the entire fleet. On the 21st he gave audience, surrounded by his son, Ibrahim Pacha, Osman Pacha of the guard, and by other superior officers, all in full dress The ante-chamber was filled with civil, military, and naval officers. The Ulemas were likewise present. but no persons of inferior rank were admitted. Mehemet Ali presented himself at the door of the audience chamber, when Samy Paella, dressed in a blue uni form, such as is worn at Constantinople, _embroidered with gold, handed the Pacha the diploma by which the Sultan appointed him Honorary Grand Vizier, which the Paella kissed, touched it with his forehead, and then handed it to his Secretary, Kiamil Bey, who read it aloud. During this ceremony the Pacha ap peared much affected. At the passage—" I send you by Samy Pacha the Nishen Sadaret decoration of Grand Vizier," Samy took from a case a splendid deco ration set in brilliants, the riband of which, of dark blue, he placed round the Viceroy's neck. One ex pression—" In accord with the Allied Powers, the Government of Egypt was granted you hereditarily ; this honour of the Sadaret is personal ;"—was much noticed. The reading of the diploma having been concluded. Mehemet Ali withdrew to a corner of the audience chamber, where he seated himself. At the same time the guns from all the forts in the town and the ships in the harbour fired a salute. Ibrahim Pacha having stooped to kiss his father's hand, Mehe met , Ali made him sit down by his side. The offi cers of the household in succession presented them selves before the new Grand Vizier, knelt down, and kissed . the. fringe of his divan. After th e themas retired the Scherif Abdallah, son of • the Scherif of Mecca, who arrived from Con stantinople in the Redschid- steamer, advanced to pay his honage to the Pacha. The ceremony having been concluded, the battalion of the guard, which was drawn up in the oourt-yard, together with their regimental band of music, withdrew. On this occa sion all the Consuls, with the exception of those of Austria and Russia, hoisted their flags. The latter plead etiquette, and say that they should have been • informed of the ceremony by a circular. Mehemet Ali continues to wear his decoration, which gives him the title of Highness, and places him, in point of rank, second to the Sultan. On the 23d, sailed from Alex andria for Marseilles the Nile steamer, with horses, shawls, and Mocha coffee, as a present to the King of the French. Artin Bey, the Pacha's interpreter, accompanies them. The Pacha proposes to set out for Cairo to pass the month of Ramazan, but before his departure he intends to dispatch Samy Pacha again to Constantinople, probably to obtain permission for the Viceroy to proceed in person to thank his Sovereign. Other reports say that the Pacha would prefer the actual appointment of Grand Vizier to the honorary title. It is said that the Sultan's mother, the Sultana \Talkie, wishes to pass through Egypt on a pilgrimage to Mecca. SPECIAL COMMISSION. STAFFORD, OCT.

The collar of his shirt was also dirty, and his finger-nails likewise exhibited the marks of dirt. This witness also deposed to the expressions previously stated by other witnesses to have been used by Ellis. He after wards saw the crowd go to Burslem and break win dows.

James Hope e xam in ed by Mr. Sergeant CALFOURD-- . I am a policeman of Stoke-upon-Trent. Was on the I.sth of August at a place called Harts-hill. I knew there had previously been attacks upon Messrs. Rose's and Allen's. The prisoner was coming from Mr. Rose's house. I seized Crutchley by the collar, and said he should go along with me. He refused. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small clasp knife, which was open, and made a cut at me across the left hand. He gave me three cuts in all. I have never. made use of my hand since, and I fear I. never shall again. I was obliged to let him go. Re then said, " ll— you, now rn murder you.' He made several stabs at me, and cut my jacket through in two places. I took from his person a table-cloth, a. piece of bacon, and a handkerchief. The prisoner gut away. John Tittenshall—l was with Hope when he took the prisoner Crutchley into custody. I was aware that there had been attacks made previously upon Mr. Rose's and Mr. Allen's houses. We thought they had got some of the plate from Mr. Rose's in the bundles. 1 seized Boom. 1 should not have let either of them go if Crutchley had not used his knife. James Adams—l was housekeeper to Mr. Allen, of Fenton, in August last. I lost thirty sovereigns of my own and a handkerchief.—(The handkerchief taken from Crutchley was here banded to the wit ness, and identified by her.) The mob broke into the house and carried oft' a great deal of property, and this. handkerchief was at the time in the house. Mr. Baron BoLrE having summed up, the Jexy found the prisoner Guilty.

Jonathan Large—Was acting as special constable on the night of the 16th August. When we got co the turnpike it was about eleven o'clock. I was not alarmed, although the others were. The mob were making a great noise. I volunteered to go Sown ti 'Ford's with Ford to the gate. They stood opposite uncle's house. I heard Standevens say to 'she others " halt." They had hedge-stakes in their hands. Standevens said, " We will kill all the special con stables in Stoke." He lifted his cudgel to Ford, the last witness, and said, " Now, for your life, or I will kill you!" Ford then ran off; and Standevens shoved me. off the road. I followed the mob. The other constables then came up, and all three prisoners were taken. lam sure the three prisoners were of the party.

He said he would cut the head off any constable that laid a finger on him, and I took hold of his collar. Two other constables caine to my assistance, and we took him into custody. He raised his bludgeon to strike me, but it was taken out of his hand. When we were taking him to the lock-up he cried out, " Frost, Jones, and Williams," and ' Britons strike home." He shouted that several times, and it crated a great uproar in the town, and I believe it brought. out the cavalry. His bead was bleeding, and he• wiped it down' with his hands, and said he would wash them in English blood.
