STAMPED n. THE GOLD FIELDS OF NEW SOUTH • I . Respecting the gi)l F d ,mhiing districts there is little to 'be said in addition- iewhat was contained in our last summary. From various causes the excitement preva lent in the early part of last month has much subsided. Some of those who have left this city have returned dis appointed, and the accounts they gave of the fields which they had visited were such as to dishearten others. Most of these disappointed men, however, it is well known, started without sufficient, capital to enable them to give the diggings a fair trial, 'and becatise their anticipa ' tions were not realised within the time they prescribed, and with the labour they felt disposed to bestow, they abandoned their claims and sought for au excuse in any other bat the true source. That such was the case is also proved - by the fact that at Rocky River the holes in several of the deserted claims are not bottomed ; and at the western districts those who, though unsuccessful at first, gave other fields a trial have met with sufficient en couragement to it them to remain. The postpone ment of the amendment of the gold fields regulations in consequence of the present Ministerial changes has also had an effect in causing many quondam diggers to delay resuming. their former pursuits. There is also compara tively little prospecting carried on, owing to the unsatis factory encouragement given under the present regula tion'. Further, the quantity of gold that was expected by this time has not been received, particularly from Rocky River ; but this is to be attributed to the wantof an escort and to the fact that the diggers there keep posses. sion of what gold they find except se much as they are compelled. to di: pose of in order to meet the cost of living. All these circumstances combined have some what damped the feeling that existed in the city at the beginning tf ...„ .ti.fmsL. this, it is• t f • MAMAS I'o. ceivelfriimthose;l;o Cave cont'nued atTirileldTa satisfctory and in some cases highly encouraging.; Certainly, Stoney-creek has not been found so extensive' 'a field as it was thought to be, but this znaj be owing .to the Avant of prospecting, seeing that the gold in tha t quarter was found to be deposited in patches{: Te a great extent this'is also the case at Rocky River. It has been ascertained that thegeld there does not run in a lead as at Ballarat i and the diggers from Victoria feel aot ts little anndyed by this' circumstance. On the ,Ucli.of last month 2,019 ounces were received in the city from.the Rocky. River. Nhad'been purchased by one person in the course of Anil: wieks.

ANOTHER ARCTIC VOYAGE. . I Lieut. Bedford Pim, R.N., in a communication to the, Timm, says : "In your columns of the 27th inst. I observe a lead.; ing article severely animadverting upon my prcipoi3ition at the Royal Geographical Society for a further search to , ascertain the fate of the expedition under commandi of Sir John Franklin. - - " Although throughout that article a decided prejudice , against another effort is most apparent, it is to belioned there is sufficient impartiality in the limes to al ow space for a few words of an opposite tendency. "In the first place, you say 'just the same kind pt thing was said or written years ago.' I answer, Most advisedly, that you are in error on that point. "Secondly, you make the unqualified assertion that 'Franklin and his unfortunate companions are dead long since.' I reply, prove this and it ends the question. "Thirdly, and lastly, the results of ow efforts in the Polar Sea have not terminated in complete disappoint ment. On the contrary, the problem of centuries is solved, many thousand miles of coast delineated on our charts, and a band of sailors brought forward unequalled for mental as well as physical resources. "Now, sir, I beg to state a few reasons why the search ought to be continued. Firstly, there is conclusive evidence of the precise locality where the missing ships have been stopped. Secondly, the most experienced officers stake their reputation on the facility with which they can be reached. Thirdly, the space to be searched is so circumscribed that the work can be accomplished in one season by a comprehensive scheme of search intrusted to volunteers from among those young but experienced commanders already proved in the icy regions. Fourthly, there is ground for hope that some still survive. Fifthly, it is not characteristic of Englishmen to leave anything unfinished, especially when there is reason to expect a successful issue ; and, Lastly, can we allow our children to read in the his tory of their country that two ships, with 13S public servants, were lost in the Polar regions ; that for six years the most untiring efforts were made to find them ; that by the merest accident conclusive evidence of their whereabout was at last obtained, and then, and not till then, all further effort was abandoned ? You may be "really sick" of the subject, and pro nounce " the scheme frantic," but by doing so you incur heavy responsibility, inasmuch as you diminish the con fidence of future navigators in that humane considera tion and thoughtful care of their countrymen at home which at present upholds them in moments of direst peril. As regards the latter part of your article, " If the scientific gentlemen wish for another expedition, let them man the ships in their own proper persons, and prove that they do not shrink from the perils to which they would expose others," I have merely to remark that no lack of volunteers has ever been experienced, whether scientific or otherwise, as evidenced especially in my Siberian expedition, on which occasion, hazardous in the extreme as it was pronounced to be, upwards of 100 private gentlemen, many of high sceintific attainments, applied to share its perils, and I do not hesitate to say that this country will produce, whenever called upon, a host of volunteers anxious to devote themselves to so noble a cause. THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT _RHODES, The Presse d'Oriefet publishes a letter which gives some details of the destruction of a part of the town of Rhodes by the explosion of the powder magazine : " In the afternoon of the 6th Rhodes was visited by a most violent thunderstorm, and several houses were struck by lightning and more or less injured. Suddenly a tremendous explosion was heard; the ground shook as from the effect of an earthquake, and windows were smashed in every direction. The explosion was followed by two others, and a dense black smoke arose. It was after a time ascertained that the lightning had fallen on the Church of St. Jean, and had penetrated into the subter ranean vaults underneath used as a depot for gunpowder, and in which an immense quantity of that commodity had recently been placed. It is impossible to depict the horror of the scene. Not a house was left standing in the whole quarter of the city near the church, and that building itself was completely levelled with the ground. The quarter was the richest and handsomest of the town, but not a vestige of it now remains. Disfigured bodies were lying about on the ground, and the groans of the dying were beard on every side. Had prompt and immediate assistance been given, there is no doubt that many lives might have been saved ; but every one w as thrawn into such consternation by the suddenness of the catastrophe that but few had presence of mind enough left to undertake the painful task. Night soon arrived, and from some strange motives of safety, which are in explicable under such circumstances, the gates were closed, and the operations for assistance were for a time suspended. Mr. Campbell, the English Consul, having assembled some workmen, had the gates again opened and proceeded to the scene of the disaster, and as well as they could cleared away the ruins, particularly at the places where the groans of persons etill were the most distinctly heard. This work was' one of great difficulty, for the rain fell in such tor rents that it was impossible to keep a torch burning. At d ay li g ht next morning more efficient m ean s w e re r n ised. Several dead bodies were go t ou t, an d t wo young girls r of eTv l ih B oeus a es n an d ni three h ra i e l r d ee oa o rl f l 7 t h four a w t t r sh e uerr a s f i t v e we r w ho o a u e r tw d oe s fr e extricated a th li e ve p . tion of between 400 and 500 who were v in the quarter at the time of the explosion. Only about 150 of the bodies have yet been found, as they ara all so deeply buried under the ruins. Only two Christians were killed, the quarter being inhabited entirely by Turks. The family of the Mal Muduri Parley Effendi, composed of 18 persons, have all perished. His mother, his wife, and his daughter were found about 500 yards from their house. That functionary was at the time proceeding home, and was only slightly injured by some falling stones. The Governor-General himself was slightly wounded on the head by some broken glass. Some idea of the force of the explosion may be formed from the fact that a barge in the harbour was sunk by a quantity of stones falling on her, and beating a bolo through her bottom, and by a sailor being killed by a stone striking him on the head at a distance of more than 1 half a mile from the spot," LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-, NOVEMBER, 29, THE CATASTROPHE ON BOARD THE ROYAL MALL STEAMER PARANA. SOUTHAMPTON, Fit3D4.Y NiauT: The inquiry into the circumstances attending the boiler explosion on boarchthe Royal West India Mail Company's steam-ship Parana, opened yesterday, was resumed this afternoon, before Mr. Coxwell, coroner for the borough of Southampton. Captain Robertson; R.N., of the engineering department of the Board 'of Trade, was present to watch the inquiry cm the part of the Government. Captain List, managing director of the Royal Mail Company, Captain Vincent, the: superintendent, and Mr. Mills, chief engineer of the . company, were also present. • Mr, Robert Ritchie was then called. It; said -I am foreman, under Mr. Mills, iu the engineering department of the Royal West India Mail Steam Packet Company. f was acquainted . with . the engines and the boilers of the steamship Parana. I have examined the 'loleis to"?ris'y and yesterday. The Starboard forward bailer has a rent in the after part, at the root of the steam chest of the length of 8 feet. in the forward part we found a rent to the extent of 14 feet, and of a width from the point of the steam chest to the shell of the boiler of 9 feet. There are 16 cross-stays in the boiler, all of which are. carried away. Fourteen of these stays are one inch and a-half in diameter, and secured to the shell of the boiler by angle irons 9 inches long and 31 by 2,t inches wide. Two of them are 11 inch diameter only, and one of these is a little defective now, so as to be equal to only, five-eighths of an inch in fact. These stays were secured to the boiler by nuts fastened inside and outside, and the fol-ward stay hal been strong enough to tear a piece out of the 4 s, hell of tho beAes ; / caved la anything' to rleted nQ t11:1 7 7(7 - t110 was not in an efficient state at the time of, the accident. The general substance of the plates of the boiler is three-eighths 'of an inch—that is, the ,general thickness. I have seen thinner plates used for boilers of the same description, but we do not use them at Southampton. I have been inside the boiler, and have examined 'carefully the edges of the rents; there is no -part presents any particplar,:appearance. The salt writer and steam which escaped at the time of the hcci . debt, combined with the heat, have so blackened the edges that nothing can be ascertained from them. In the after ...rent there is a patch, , where a piece of iron' was put on when the boilers ware repaired two years ago; but I remem ber verrwell that that was done not for the purpose of strengthening the boiler, but to stop a leakage of 'steam, observed.in the passage of the ship from London. I can discover nothing to account for the accident. Yesterday, on first going into the boiler, I found the safety valve open to the extent of about an eighth of an inch. This would not be sufficient for the escape of a large quantity of steam. It, , bowever, showed the state in which the chief engineer had left the valve. By Capt. Robertson—With the valve in the state I dis covered it I don't believe there could have been 171 b. prase sure on the boiler. There might have been 121 b. The valve was loaded.to 161 b. Examination-in-chief—l was on board the ship when the explosion occurred. I know that experiments were ping on just before the accident. They were to ascertain what the heat might be in the "up-take." That expel imeut could in no manner affect the amount of steam generated in the By Capt. Robertson—The original thickness of the boilers was 3-Bths of au inch, and there has been no per ceptible diminutiOn. The-leak which I have described to have been repaired by a patch arose from some defect in the rivetting or the caulking, and not from any defect in the plate of the boiler, •The patch was about two feet long .by three or four inches wide, and one rent goes directly through it. The patch was secured by 14 tants, four or five inches apart. Ido not think <the insertion of these nuts would have weakened the boiler. Had it been a strength ening patch twice, the number of rivets would have been inserted. The steam had been up to 171 b. during the ex , ! pariments which have been spoken of, but it had fallen to 1.21 b. before the explosion. By the Foreman—"T ca`n give.,no opinion, setting aside' the indicator and the valve , aud everything else, whether this boiler really exploded at a pressure of 121 b. By,Caytain Robertson —There is only one safety-valve to each boiler in the Parana. This is the GovernMent safety-valve, which is always ept under hick and key. The lock of this valve was opened by Z4lr. Sumner's instruc tions after the accidett. We broke the lock, as the captain had the key in London. The valve was open by the lever, and ou examining it we could discover nothing to inter fere with its free action. ' _ Capt. Robertson—But do you mean to say that that boiler knowing it as well as you do, would have burst with a pres sure of 161 b. or 171 b. ? Witness—l can account for the accident in no other way. The Foreman—Do you consider the other three boilers to be safe and in working condition T . _ . Witness—Well, after what has happened, from what I have seen of the other boilers, I think it might be prudent to put in a few more stays. (Murmurs among the jury.) By the Foreman—Bearing in mind the valve being open to the extent of one-eighth of an inch, to what degree would that retard the rapid increase of pressure you have spoken of? Witness—Not very materially, I believe. I cannot tell without making a calculation. Mr. Alexander Wylie, recalled and examined by the Coro ner—My object in keeping the pressure at 121 b. on Wednes day afternoon, when the ordinary pressure at sea is 151 b., was, that I had no object at the time in having strong steam —and as the machinery was not in motion I used the safety valve as a means of taking away the steam which, under ordi nary circumstances, would have been consumed by the en gines. It is the usual practice when the engines are not under. way to have the safety valves eased. The safety valve was not eased on Wednesday from any apprehension of danger. Capt. Robertson—How do you account for the accident — all these circumstances taken into consideration ? • Mr. Wylie—l am of opinion that by a different method of staying in the original construction of the boiler this accident might have been prevented. lam able to form this opinion now after the explosion. I never entertained that opinion previously to the accident. Capt. Robertson—l can't understand this. You have been working at sea at 151 b., and more lately at 171 b., and now the boiler explodes at a pressure of 121 b. ? Mr. Wylie can only account for it by this, that a piece of iron will stand a certain number of years, and at last give way. Mr. Sumners was sworn and examined. He said—l am in spector of steam machinery at the port of Southampton under the Board of Trade. I am acquainted with the machinery of the Parana, On Sunday morning last I received a letter from Mr. Mills, requesting me to survey the machinery of the Pa rana. I understood the steam was to be got• up on Wednes day. I went on board the ship at a quarter to 4 o'clock on steam gauges. My attention was first of all called to this one that day, and found the steam was u p . I looked first at two which I hold in my hand. (The witness produced a steam gauge.) This was fixed near the foot of the engine room stair case, and I observed that it stood at 121 b. to the square inch. The steam at that time was blowing off freely from the waste pipe. The donkey-engine was at work keeping , the boiler supplied with Water. The men were firing the furnaces readily and steadily from time to time, but they were firing easily. I saw the water.gauge, and there were several inches in the glass, which was about 3-4ths full. I observed at this time a little steam coming up under the gallery where I was stand ing, near to the after end of the gallery, which has been rup tured. I looked round about the engiries, and made a remark to Mr. Wylie and Mr. Ritchie that their donkey was a very noisy one. I remained until 20 minutes past 4 o'clock, and, after asking several questions of Mr. Wylie, inquired how long he was going to keep up the steam in that boiler. Ile replied until half-past six o'clock, because he was trying some experiments on the heat of the smoke or gases escaping by the '' uptake" into the chimney. Be said, We have put into the uptake' one ladle containing a quantity of tin, ancther containing a quantity of lead and a pyrometer." I forgot to observe that when I saw the leakage of steam I have spoken of I inquired where it came from, and tried to find it myself, but was unable to do so at the time. As I was passing up the staircase of the engine-room, on my way out of the ship , I again took particular notice of the steam gauge, and it wa s s t and i ng still at a pressure o f 121 b. O n re aching the deck, as I was pass i ng the forward hatchway of the stoke. hole I looked down at the men who were at work there, and then I looked up from where I was standing at the waste steam-pipe, from which the steam was blowing steadily. I then left the ship and went home. About 9 o'clock that evening I received a note from Mr. Mills informing me a serious accident had occurred, and requesting my attendance on board the next morning. I went on board in pursuance of his request, and with Mr. Mills, Mr. Wylie, Mr. M'Crae, and Mr. Ritchie, went into the boiler irt question. The man hole had only previously been disturbed. I examined the boiler, and found the whole of the 16 thwartship stays had separated from the casing. Fourteen of these stays were secured to the shell of the boiler by angle-irons, 3,} inches by 21 inche3 in diameter. Two of them were only 1 inch diameter, and one of the latter was so defective as to be equal to not more than ilthe of an inch. There was a rent at the after end of the boiler about 8 feet long, and one at the forward end 14 feet long. The " uptake" of the boiler had partially collapsed at that part to which the stays had been attached. I saw over the fractured parts at the after end of the boiler a plate about three feet long had been put in and secured to the boiler by 14 three-quarter inch bolts. At the time I was iu the boiler the water was about two feet below the top of the flues. I saw no appearance of defect in any , of the flues, and I am certain they had not been overheated, The boiler was very clean inside. It had been painted all over the interior of the steam chest, and the paint was still there. On looking up into the aperture of the safetY•valve inside the boiler I saw it was open about the aperture of one-eighth of an inch. I thou lOW into the stop of the valve inside the boiler, and saw it was open about five inches. I then got out of the boiler and went to satisfy myself of the cause of the small leakage of steam I had before noticed. I found that a small nut 'used to secure the lagging to the boiler had broken, arid through it a small quantity of water had escaped, producing the steam which I had observed. I then asked for the key of the safety-valve, and was informed the captain of the ship had it, and that he was in London I ordered the lock to be broken, the cover removed, and the valveaud its weights taken out. I saw this done, and I had water poured..dovin into the.valve-chest in ceder to see if the waste waterpipe was clear. It was per fectly clear. 'I then had the . weights and the safety-valve taken to the Royal Mail Company's factory and had them weighed. I found the weight on the safety-valve exactly equal to 161 b. on the square inch. I then returned to the ship and had the gauge disconnected from the steam-pipe of the boiler which had exploded, in order to see if the steam-pipe'vfas clear; and when I blew a breath through it its • action was such as to satisfy me it was clear. I marked the gauge which I now produce, and sent it to nay- factory to be tested. It was done by. my cousin. The Coroner—This result certainly shows that the gauge did not mark the amount of steam correctly. Are you able to account fox' the accident iu any way ? • • Mr. Summers—My impression is that the defective stay before refereed to first gave way, and that then the wind pressure of the side of the boiler came upon the ends, and caused the rents.l have already described. I consider the partial collapse of the " uptake" occurred also in consequence of the : breaking of the. stays. This' is the only, manner in which I can account for the rending of the boiler easino.s. By Captain Robertson--I made an official survey of this boiler In Juue last, and granted.a declaration of sufficiency to the sth NoVember inst. • By the CoroPer•-,--The,boklerg were made by an eminent en gineer, and had,l gone into there and examined them before as '{ have do& itr.clayrshotilliliay(fkonsidered myself warranted in giving them. tt . eleeimektion orstitlicieuoy for the peat six months. By the Coroner—l 'do not think the:accident would affect, the condition of the steam gauge. It is quite clear to my mind that the valve being raised only 1-Bth of an inch would not be sufficient to keep the boiler safe. The valve ought to have -risen witi. a pressu,re of 101 b. Supposing the valve had been entirely open, I believe the escape of Steam generated Would have-been sufficient, though the engines Were not working. By the Forenniu—l do not believe the boiler exploded at a pressure of 141 b. nor of 201 b. When the boiler burst the pressure must have. been quite 241 b. (Sensation.)' The pres sure must have been'greater than that indicated at 171 b. or 201 b. at an earlier period of the afternoon.; . The Coroner—All circumstances considered, to *hat do you attribute the accident ? '• • . • - • -Mr. Summers—l believe the accident must be attributed to the giving way of the defective stay:, When that stay gave way the piess.ure was thrown upon the sides; and here the rent commenced, extending itself towards the steam. chest, near to WhiCh the principal expldsion has occurred: After a lengthened consultation, the proceedings were ulti mately at a late hour adjourned. - • dangerously h h a e smr rallied, i ( e td fr sady h 'i o • e p p e o s r 71 i s t y o e s f t h e c y c ah o y evreyr.y . . THE HUDDERSFIELD MECHANICS' r JN,STITUTR. • The anniversary proceedings of this institution com menced on 'Wednesday evening, with a public distribu-' tion of prizis to the students in its classes. The hall was well filled, there being upwards of a thousand persona pre sent, among whom were many ladies:: - t Mr. F. CURSOR, the secretary, read a pliort report, from which it appeared that the award of prizes last year had immediately produced an increased punctwality in the at-. tendance of the pupils, besides attractipl, public attention to the institution. ' Lord GODERICH, who was much cljeerpd, said this was a very interesting occasion, for they were all 'brought' that night fats to . face with a large number of the young men of the town, who had been decided, by competent judges, to have shown great ability and groat `industry in various branches of learning. Now that men were becoming con-. vinced that in every, kind of employment, public or pri vate,- it was' more than ever necessary to look less to the' sort of coat that a man might wear, or to the name by which he might be called, than to those intellectual qua lifications which Were tested and derrionatrated by exami nations such as the one just concluded, and also to those moral qualifications which must rule and direct the ethers. It gave him and the rest of the meeting very much gratification to meet, out of so large a number as from 700 to 800 young men of that toven, those who had been nicked out as tho inostproficient. • (Applause.) It had been said, anti truly so, to a great extent, that the undergoing of such an examination was not merely a dieecie evidenceof intellec teal attainnents, but was also some indirect evidence of moral superiority. But if young men studying at the uni versities, or seeking clerkehips under Government, showed themselves, , by undergoing such examinations, to be pos sessed of self-denial and self-control at the time of life When those qualities aro most difficult to exercise, then it' could not be doubted that those qualities were displayed in a yet higher and more meritorious degree by poisons of a different class who pursued their studies under all the daft.' culties which must laaset the path of many of the members of this institution. Itemust therefore be of 'creatitopent• ante to the employers of labour, if they were alive, he would not say to their duty, but to their own plain interest, to find out such young men. But there were strangers present also, whose motives for coming were of a more public character. The Huddersfield Mechanics' Institution was well known for its instruction class organisation, from which had sprang these examinations for the last twoyears ; and though the gentlemen there present who felt a special interest in popular education would perhaps find in the institution some faults to point nut, he did flatter himself, without exaggeration, that the example of Hud dersfield would give them some encouragement in their noble endeavours, and convince them that there was no reason to despair, or to abate one jot of those high hopes of the progress of education, those utopian desires as some persons had called them, which the zealous friends of the cause had been wont to entertain. (Cheers.) The distribution of prizes was then commenced, and occupied nearly an hour. The Right Hon. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, M.P., then rose to speak, amidst great cheering. He said he rejoiced to have witnessed the successful result of the classes in this institution: His own experience prevented him from say ing that this was the first institute to establish such classes, because in his own part of England (Worcestershire) he was acquainted with a very well-conducted mechanics' in stitute which had established them, but he could not say that the results obtained in Worcestershire were anything equal •to those he had now seen at Huddersfield. He understood that this was one of the institutes which composed the Yorkshire Union, and that he had the plea sure of speaking in the presence of the president (Ur. Baines) of that association. If there were differences of opinion between Mr. Baines and himself as to the best mode of attaining a great object, he was glad of this oppor tunity of stating publicly his opinion, and not for the first time—that there was no more distinguished or more sin cere friend to the cause of popular education than that gentlemen. (Cheers.) He believed this was one of upwards of 100 mechanics' institutes which did honour to the county of York, and that the members of these institutions num • bared not less than 20,000. Now he would humbly suggest that the great county of York, with its 1,800,000 inhabi tants, ought not to be content with 20,000 members of such institutes. (Applause.) Positively, it was a great number, but comparatively it was not many. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that encouragement would be derived from the ad mirable example of Huddersfield. It was because he had been informed that there was not one such more dis tinguished than this institution, in its efforts for the bene fit of the working classes, that he had accepted the invita tion to be present, doing so for his own pleasure and in struction. (Applause.) One thing was most striking to any friend of education who had the privilege of seeing such a sign of progress, and that was that the classes in this institute embraced a wider range of study than it was possible for any ordinary elementary school to bestow. (Hear, hear.) He had heard this evening little boys of nice years old called out to show that they could read; but he had heard others of the salve class, but more advanced years, called out to show that they had occupied their leisure to their own honour and great benefit in the more difficult attainments of science; he had bad proof that some devoted their attention to the softer charms of music; and the walls of this room were covered with proofs that the art of drawing had been amply cultivated. (Hear.) These were gratifying proofs of the eagerness for knowledge which existed in all classes, when the means of knowledge were fairly held out, and those who thus exerted them selves might rely that they would find, in every walk of life, their toil sweetened by t hintellectualintellectualhappier acquirement.powers c yg ultivating the noble gifts of Theyv r sr a c :l h n oau: V7 Vst liccinmh eb G nfiytn o std :l h uahstnah(ddl thus givencuttiisi directing them. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that this institu tion mi g ht lon g continue to increase in numbers and in effiekency, and to bestow upon the rising generation of Huddersfield those advantages which he must believe it now conferred.

But the poWsws have ordained otherwise. And at the momea s that we are writing, two of the labourers belonging to the class for whose benefit " The Lows " was al lotted nearly half a century ago are in prison and - at bard labour, under sentence of the petty sessions at Holt, for insisting • on what they believe, is in law, and what all know is in equity and common honesty, these poor men's just and inalienable rights. On Saturday last, Lord Hastings, the Rev. J. H. Sparke, Col. Astley, Mr. Pemberton, and Mr. Cozens-Hardy, sat to try the two culprits, whose names are John Loads and William Flagon. The charge was that they had trespassed on "The Lows" in pursuit of rabbits. The defence was that the land was in fact the property of the occupiers' of certain ancient houses in Flolt specified in the schedule to the Holt Inclosure Award, in two of which houses Loads and Flagon lived. " The rec tor, churchwardens, and overseers of the poor, and the visitor and guardian of the workhouse," were by the award appointed trustees, with no beneficial interest, but only for the purposes of the award and for the proteCtion of the parties entitled to the ad vantages conferred by the allotment. The occupiers of the above houses were to have, under the award, all that could be derived from the land, whether as pasture, or from the cutting of Hags, ling, brakes, and furze. This land, it appears, grows rabbits as .well as ling, brakes, and furze ; and the poor men who, it is admitted, may lawfully feed stock on the land, and consume what the land produces in wild bushes, &c., are sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour if they dare to catch a wild rabbit fed and housed on their own soil. They may take the furze, but not the rabbit in the furze. The rector and his coadjutors have let the shooting over the poor men's land —under what authority no one can tell—to a gentleman known to our readers, of the name of ,Barker. This gentleman claims the rabbits, and is r - ------.-- ,,,,,erillfriffiwillowloau'"gowirmiewt,""•... item ; thotg l i be knows tliat they provender ea the poor ,men's-land.

In that case, we trust the law will . be vindicated against - anal-administratio n . B u t.if it be that these poor Men have brokeh the law': and trespasse,clOn their own land, we kap again the law itself is a crime--a wicked trespass on 'the rights of the'poor ; and though they who s trausgress such an arbitrary and unjust law,riay incur its penalty, 0. 'awl magistrates may be found to enforce- it, yet the'transgression carries with it no moral stigma, and' public - opinion will even applaud- they men whets . the law has deprived of liberty. But other 'Considerations are suggested * by this • case. Each _kli the slefendants was .fined Ahree', shillings, and ordered to pay costs amounting to eleven shillings. In default of the fourteen shil- ~..,~. Hugs each was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for one month. The month's imprison ment and hard labour was the consequence of their being too poor to pay the fine and costs ! This system of punishing by fine, an d i n d efault of pay ment by imprisonment, is manifestly unjust to wards the poor. The rich man convicted of a vio lation of the law takes out his purse, pays the penalty, and walks off with an air of unconcern, if not of insolence. The labourer is fined ;he has no money and no monied friends ; magistrates who, had they been left to earn their own living, might have been poorer even than he, order him to prison and the treadmill, and consign his weeping wife and children to the workhouse. Money makes the only difference between the convict at large and the convict at the wheel. But of what avail are these coniplainings and protests, if the victims are to work out their time and no effort is made to reverse the past and pro tect them for the future ? If there be in this large County any who have manliness and energy enough practically to protes t against a wicked law, or against a shameful straining of the law, if such it be—if there be any disposed to help friendless men in their extremity, let all such speak out, as it becomes them, without delay. If it be possible to effect the discharge of these men by setting aside the conviction, let that be done. If it be possible (notwithstanding the laws for protection of magistrates from the cour se e d s e f o e f n d t h theireir m d e i c s i t s a i k o e n s 0 ) e i t e o r e m a a k h e i g t h h e o r s e t r h a n g n i s a on d a e r cm al is it n . , and let q l t et t rel h at be done.

ANOTHER ILII3BIT CASE. —Much indignation was ex cited in this town on Saturday last, by the decision of the bench of magistrates, in a case which was brought before them. The magistrates present were —Lord Hastings, Colonel Astley, W. 11. Pemberton, E s q., Reverend J. 11. Sparke, and W. H. Cozens- Hardy, Esq. It will be remembered that a few months since a poor man was fined for catching rabbits on a "common" crated the "Lows," a tract of land com prising about 120 acres, which was allotted to certain cottages at the enclosure in 1810. The fine was paid by the parties who obtained the conviction, and the man, not living in a cottage having a " common right," was told not to trespass again. The rector, churchwardens, and Overseers for the time being, are trustees, and have let the shooting over the common to George BArker, Esq., of Holt Lodge. John Loads and Wm. Ilagon, labouring men, living in cottages, having a " common right," went upon the " Lows," in the exercise of this right, to catch rabbits ; they were seen by Mr. Barker's man, and summoned on Saturday last before the magistrates, fur trespassing on the "Lows" in pursuit of rabbits. Mr. Cozens -Hardy said he thought the trustees bad no power to let the shooting . on the coinuien, and refused to concur in a convict . io . n ; but all the other magistrates present were of epi fi n a m ed n that the men had committed a trespass,knand together theta each ;.;=. and the expenses, 28i., or to be imprisoned for a money, and have labuur.
