GLOB E.-I—W ith reference to the conversation last night in the Lords on the subject of New Zealand, we would submit that the name of Hibernia Minor, or Little Ireland, should be conferred upon that colony, while it remains in the hands of the high and mighty powers now subsidised by the present Government. The Wakefield ascendancy there demands a small war-steamer, and a small standing army, to maintain it against the aborigines, just as the analogous parties in Ireland proper. The Earl of Ripon, after' stating that a part of their demand had, for the present, be en com plied with, proceeded to say, " There certainly were means within the reach of the colonists which they might adopt for their own safety. The Governor was authorised to levy a militia, and to establish a constabulary force, as" in Ireland, fur their safety; and, when there were 10,000 inhabitants, he could not see why such a course might not readily be adopted." We shall not despairof a New Zealand edition of the Boyne Water, with appropriate variations, and a standing toast of " The Glorious and Immortal memory of Edward Gibbon Wakefield ! " It is worth observing that this mercantile association of sturdy beggars, which, after calumniating every Government, till it bullied them out of alms, is now putting forward the somewhat more serious petition for armies—is the body which prepared its operations by attacking the missionaries for their land speculations. We do not recollect that the missionaries pushed their land jobs till they wanted armed force to back them. We suspect that the blackening system worked against them had much the same meaning and motive as that which Spanish and Portuguese rapacity carried out in the New World against the Jesuits. By their fruits ye shall know them. The Jesuits and William Penn con • trived to do without fleets and armies. Again, this is the body which wanted nothing of Government but to be let alone ! Fight for us--pay our bills—and let us alone with our domains and our dividends ! As the subject is thus again obtruded before the public, we recur briefly to some curious treatment of it by the Herald of yesterday. The Herald, after borrow ing some of our old objections to " the Wakefield sys tem," and after handling quite as severely as we have done its application in New Zealand, concludes by saying that Mr. Wakefield's principles are in tha main sound, and that the Globe Misappre hends them. We suppose its motive is to pat Mr. Wakefield on the back for supporting Govern ment in Canada. It does not tell us on what point we misapprehend " Mr. Wakefield's principles." Indeed, that is what these colonial Mormonites never do. They never condescend to argument in defence of their " Book of Mormon." If you criticise it you are simply a blasphemer ; and the faithful have nothing to say to you. The Word is written on plates of imperish able gold, but to infidel eyes invisible. We do not think it worth disputing in the abstract, whether or no we apprehend the Wakefield system. It is disputing whether you have hold of Proteus—if you had, he will have slipped through your fingers the next minute. What we have quarrelled with as " the Wakefield system," is the system of blowing colonial bubbles, on pretence of having discovered a principle by which new countries are at once assimilated to old ones, and by which capitalists are assured of pro fitable returns fur investments in colonial wastes at prices calculated by what their value is to be, after labour has successfully been applied to them. It is the system of fixing an anticipated and artificial value on colonial wastes, a value which is to be fixed high enough to serve the double purpose of transporting labourers out, and of securing that they shall not seek to cultivate on their own account—it is this that we have understood as the Wakefield system. It is on the strength of the sup posed self-supporting vigour, and profitable returns, of the process of transporting masses of labour to distant a astes—that the means have been raised for recent colo nial adventures—and the fingers burned of all those Who have had any finger in them. If the " system" is tacitly dropping out of all its original pretensions to a com plete, circular, self-supporting character ;—if its famous central doctrine of sufficient prices for waste lands is dwindling down from its fine frenzy of exorbitance, and sinking gradually to the level of the rational practice of the United States— why doubtless it may become " Fine by degrees, and beautifully less,' —till nobody can have any objection to it, any more than to the corpulence of ",the fat single gentleman six months ago." All its artificial proportions of labour and capital may shrink into common sense. In the mean time, we repeat that the Herald, while assuming to direct a vague censure against our strictures on that " system," has borrowed the main point we have always urged, and applied it precisely as we might have done, as one cause of the present fix in New Zealand. STANDARD.—The Ecclesiastical Courts Bill was last night read a third time and passed in the House of Lords. There was the usual amount of carping on the part of the Opposition Peers, with something more than the usual injustice. The principal topic of complaint was the permitted existence of the diocesan courts— courts, however, which the same Noble Lords who com plain of them as an intolerable nuisance, permitted during ten years of office to remain undisturbed, and to remain in company with some hundreds of other alleged " nuisances" now to be swept away. This however, is not the only inconsistency - , or the greatest of which the Opposition Lords are guilty in this matter. If we are not mistaken, they are all, without ex ception, zealous promoters of the Bill for establish ing local common-law courts, on the principle that justice ought to be brought as near as possible to every man's door. Is there not, then, a gross self-con trad,ction in their complaint that the metropolis is not to absorb all the courts of ecclesiastical law ? The diocesan courts are, however, said to be sub stantive nuisances, the toleration of which in any form sanctions the mischief of which they are the cause. This, however, is going something too fast : a Court may be a nuisance or a benefit, according as it is constituted or conducted. Even our most favourite tribunals will be confessed by all to be but mixed goods, and though no doubt what is excellent in them predominates, the very fact that supplementary tribunals are called for, and that these supplementary tribunals are not to imitate them very exactly, shows that they do not give entire satisfaction. We need scarcely make it a question whether a Local Courts Bill, which should establish tribunals as uncertain, tedious, and expensive as the courts at Westminster, would be accepted with much gratitude by the country. Before assuming, then, that the diocesan courts mast remain perpetual nuisances, may it not be fair to inquire whether these courts cannot be subjected to a reform, ana logous to that proposed in the local common law Courts? For ourselves, we have long since arrived at the con clusi,!n that the law reform which commences with the chopping and changing of courts, the multiplying or diminishing the number ofjudges, is a reform begun at the wrong end. The first evil to be contended against is the process, which a number of ingenious and expert and deeply-interested men always are and always will be labouring to make as expensive as possible. Let the Legislature con stantly keep its eye upon this point, and it will be a mat ter of comparative indifference whether the courts are " more and merrier," or " fewer with better cheer." The work, however, properly belongs to the Legislature, and (we say it with all respect) not to the judges or other heads of courts. The pursuit of perfect justice grows with these Magistrates to a passion, which they will arrays indulge at whatever expense of labour to themselves, or of time or money to unhappy clients ; and thus contrivance after contrivance to exclude pos sible wrong is heaped up in the portals, until the temple of justice is closed against nearly ev, ry one. What is-the use of our principal courts to ninety-nine Out of a hundred of the community? Is it not certain that for one wrong they right they shelter a thousand that they might right, if their process was simpler and less costly? The Legislature has less reason to indulge the unhappy passion for an unattainable perfection of justice, and therefore, it might perhaps be prevailed upon to enforce a chogrtind simple process, that no doubt would occasionally cause injustice, but which would generally work well, and would work for all; and until the Legislature does this all law reforms will be illu sive. As regards th• ecclesiastical courts, we cannot see why they must still adhere to the, old cumbrous pro cess of the Roman lasi, now laid aside in every country of Europe, even in those countries where the maxims of the Roman law constitute the basis of the national code? Let the diocesau courts, however, be reformed in respect of process, and every argument in favour of the loeal common law courts applies to recommend their preser vation. • THE COAL TRADE.—The deputation from the coal mining interest of NorthuMberland and Durham, which was sent to London to endeavour to induce the Government to repeal the duty on coals sent foreign, consisted of Messrs. Morton, Pease, H. Taylor, Johnson, and N. Wood, who were joined in London by other gentlemen from Wales, Scotland, and Yorkshire, and accompanied by other parties connected with the coal mining interest, viz., Messrs. Plews, Turnbull, Price, Cadell, Briggs, &c. The following Members of Par-. liament united with the deputation in calling upon Sir R. Peel and the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday last, viz., Lords Marsham and H. Vane, Sir E. Filmer, -and Messrs. Bell, Bowes, Wawn, D. Barclay, H. Mitealfe, Smol- ! lett, Ord, Cayley, Bright, and M'Lean. The deputation having enforced their views of this obnoxious and injurious impost, retired with polite acknowledgments for the informa tion conveyed, but without any intimation of the views of Government. The deputation further begged that any at- tempt to increase the London taxation, as contemplated by the Commissioners for Improving the Thames, might be dis countenanced. They afterwards saw the Earl of Lincoln, as Chairman of the Commissioners, on the same subject.-- Durham Advertiser.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) George Harper, a labour, r, and of very Savage ap pearance, was charged with cutting and wounding a brick-maker, named Henry Garden, re , iding in Phea sant-place, Ball's-pond, Islington, so as to seriously en-. danger his life. A certificate was produced from a surgeon, setting -forth that Garden was dangerously ill, and of course unable to attend in court. _ Harriette Garden, the wife of the wounded man, de posed as follows :—My husband works *in Mr: Rhodes' brickfields, in the Britannia-fields, Islington. Last night, at half past eleven o'clock,he went out to look at some bricks and protect them from the frost. He came back at about half-past twelve, bleeding profusely from several wounds in the head. ' He lay down, and the'next moment was insensible. One of his eyes is quite de stroyed, and his head is dreadfully bruised. I ran out for a policeman, who fetched a surgeon. When he dreped the wounds my husband became delirious, and continues so. Before the surgeon came I asked him what had happened to him; and he said he was sitting down on a heap of brick when the prisoner came up and exclaimed " Ah, I have an o!d grudge against you, and I'll pay you now ;" he then struck him with a brick, and he could recollect no more. When he recovered his senses he found himselflying on the ground, bleeding from the head. Mr. COMBE—Did your husband say he gave the pri soner any provocation ? Witness--I asked him that question, but he said he had not given him the least provocation. The poor woman, who seemed to be suf fering great agony of mind, said the surgeon had in formed her that he had no hopes of the recovery of her husband, and recommended his removal to the hospital. Police constable Treford, N 3, deposed that, on that morning, between twelve and one o'clock, Harriette Garden called upon him, and said her husband had been nearly murdered by Harper. He went to-her house, and there saw Garden lying on the ground, he was still bleeding profusely, one side of his head was a perfect mummy—his eye seemed to have been quite battered in. After fetching a surgeon he went to the prisoner's house and arrested him. Witness said to him that he appre hended hi.o for the attack on Garden. " On . llarry Garden, is it?" replied the prisoner. Witness said "Yes," and the prisoner said no more. Mr. COMBE asked him if he had been to the brick field. Witness said he had, and saw a large pool of blood beside a heap of bricks there ; he found a brick beside it partly broken and stained with blood. Mr. COMBE, after administering the usual magisterial caution to the prisoner, asked him what he had to say to the charge. Prisoner-1 gave him a blow, bnt he struck me on the head (he pointed to his head on which there was the mark of a blow). The policeman added that when he arrested the pri soner, he had blood upon him. Witness had learned on that morning that the man's life was in great danger, and that he was delirious. He was about being conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Mr. COSIBE directed the officer to inform him if the wounded man recovered his consciousness so far as to be able to give evidence before five o'clock, that he might go to his residence, and have his evidence recorded. The officer promised compliance, and the prisoner was conveyed to the cells. A young lad named Claire was charged with breaking a pane of glass in the Holborn Union Workhouse. Benjamin Barlow, the porter, deposed that he admitted the prisoner into the workhouse on the previous night, on his application as a destitute person. He told the prisoner that he was required by the Act of Parliament, in return for his bed and breakfast to work four hours, to which he made no other reply than that he must leave the workhouse early. This morning he refused to do the work assigned him, de clining his breakfast which was offered him at the same time. He was told he must work, and half a pound of coir was presented to him, but instead of doing so he broke a pane of glass, Mr. COMBE (to the boy)—Why don't you do the four hours' work 7 The prisoner replied that he had obtained.work from a tradesman at Bs. a week, and that he did not like to stop. Mr. Comm: told him the Act of Parliament required . the performance of the task. If he would go back to the work house he should have his breakfast and then let him pick the yarn. " • . The boy promised compliance and the worthy magistrate discharged him. A woman named Connor, one of the worst specimens of her sex, was charged with robbing a gentleman of 15s. She robbed the gentleman in Gray's Inn-lane on the previous night, and he gav e h er i nto cus t o dy. At the station-house the policeman sa w her attempting to swallow something, and seized her by th e th roat; s h e s t ru ggled violently; two other officers seized her, and a fourth introducing a key be tween her teeth opened her mouth, and tools out three half crowns, which she had attempted to swallow:—The prosecu tor declined to come forward, and she was discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. A modest-looking, and rather pretty, young woman applied to Mr. Bingham, the sitting Magistrate, for advice and assistance, under the following circumstances: • The applicant stated that, while living in service, about two years ago,, she became acquainted with a young man, about 30 years of age, who paid his ad dresses to her, and they were married, after a short courtship, at Hoxton Church. They proceeded, after the ceremony, to Gravesend, and, on her return to town, on the same evening, her husband left her, under the care of a friend, until he was able to provide a place for her reception ; but she had neither seen nor heard anything of him since that time. His father, who was a respectable tradesman at Hoxton, had informed her that he believed her husband had gone into the country in quest of employment, but he had no certain knowledge on the subject. Since her desertion she had filled a comfortable situation as a domestic servant, until a few, days ago, when her mistress received an anonymous letter apprising her of the extraordinary circumstances connected with her marriage, and she dis charged her in consequence. As the same prejudice would no doubt operate against her elsewhere she wished to know what steps she could adopt to relieve herself from the difficult and embarrassing situation in which she was placed. Mr. BINGUAN said that it was certainly a very hard case, but he regretted that he had no power to assist her, and her only remedy was to sue out a. divorce in the Ecclesiastical Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Brown, a powerful young man ' who described himself as a gentleman's servant out of place, but who is well known to the police of the district as the associate of notorious thieves, was placed at the bar on the following . charge James Edward Turner, a young man of respectable appear ance, who had received a tremendous blow over the left eye, and whose face was otherwise frightfully contused, stated, that he 'resided at No. 17, Henrietta -street, Cavendish:- square, and was a clerk in a mercantile house. • Bettieen two and three o'clock this morning, as he was passing along Oxford-street on his way home, having been out to an even ingparty, he was induced to enter the Spread Eagle public house, at the corner of Woodstock-street, Bend-street, and call for some refreshment. There were several disorderly having passed some v er y bl ac k guar d persons. and amongst them *as the prisoner, standing at the bar, and they remarks relative to witness, he . was hastily leaving the house, when some person knocked his hat over his eyes, He was then violently assaulted by two or three of them. He defended himself as well as he could, but one of the party, whom, he had a strong conviction was the prisoner, seized him behind by the-cravat he wore and nearly strangled him, and then struck him in the face. Witness got out of the house at last, but the prisoner, after following.him about 200 yards, rushed upon him and struck him the very severe blow on the eye he had the mark of. A policeman coming up at the in stant, the prisoner was given into custody. Witness after wards discovered that he had been robbed of his ,silk cravat, - and about 16s. in silver which he had received at the bar in change for a sovereign. His diamond breast pin had also been stolen, and his upper coat was torn to pieces. The prisoner said he was taking the complainant's part, and denied striking him. Mr. Msurnr seemed to be of opinion that the prisoner could not be connected with the robbery, but fined him 40s. for the assault,.or 14 days' imprisonment.. The prisoner has been three times previously fined at thi; Court fur similar assaults. UNION-HALL. Three able-bodied men were charged with stealing a quartern loaf, from the shop of a baker, at Walworth. The prisoners walked into the shop, and one of theni took a quartern loaf, and, breaking it, divided it between his two companions, and they commenced eating it as they went along, but being followed, were given into custody. The baker stated that, of late, he had been robbed of a great quantity of bread, under similar circumstances, and had, therefore, determined on giving the prisoners into custody. The prisoners, when questioned, said that they had come up from the country in quest of work, but not succeeding, they were driven to the utmost distress, and that hunger, and that alone,'prompted them to take the bread. . Mr. TRAILL committed the prisoners for fourteen days. UNGRATEFUL. ROBBERY. — William Rose was charged with stealing a quantity of lead, the property of Mr. Buckridge, a builder in Lambeth. • It appeared that the complainant, who is brother-in-law to the prisoner, has been confined from illness for some days. On the precedingnight the prisoner was seen coining out of his premises with a quantity of lead, and being stopped and taken to the complainant's house, it was then ascertained that the prisoner had procured a skeleton key, with . which he entered the premises, and had taken the lead with Out the knowledge of the owner. The prisoner was remanded, the MAGISTRATE remarking that it was such a case as should be sent foVirial. • A • FROM THE .R 2 MARCH 20.--Accountsfrom Copenhagen, which may be depended on, confirm the news from Washington, that the Americans threaten to interfere by force in the affair of the Sound duties. We hiar that Great Britain and Russia have been requested to intervene by diplomatic negotiations in this matter. MURDER FROM JEALOUSY. —A man named J. Ozenne, a house -painter, was tried last week at Rouen, on a • charge of having assassinated the widow Decouville, who lived in the Rue au Lard, at Havre, during the year 1840. The great suspicion against the prisoner was that, although a married man (his wife being.twenty years older that him self) he professed a most 'passionate regard for the widow ; and, as he lived in an adjoining house, was known to spend many of his hours in her company, and to have the means of admission to her apartment by a private key to a door which was clos e d to all except himself. His passion was under no control, and he had been heard to threaten that, should she extend her favoured smiles to airy one else he would kill ker. The body of this unhappy woman was found one afternoon, in the year 1840, in a wretched State of mutila • tion in her own kitchen ; the head was placed against a wall, and the feet on th e hearth stone—between the legs was found a candle which had been burnt out—the clothes of deceased were destroyed by fire, and the legs and thighs had been charred to a great extent, Appearances led to the sup position that the deceased had been strangled, and the body afterwards set on fire; but, as no robbery had been com mitted, for even near to the dead body were found silver spoons and other things of value, an inference was drawn that the murder had been caused by jealousy. Now it was notoriously known that Ozenne was jealous of the deceased almost to madness, and he was apprehended and examined ; but preofs sufficient to warrant .his committal for trial were wanting, until an individual who was in prison for debt wrote a letter to some official party implicating him in the murder; and the facts therein stated having been inquired into, Ozenne was put upon his trial. There were several witnesses called, who deposed to circumstances which left no doubt of the guilt of the prisoner, and on Saturday, after two days' hearing, he was convicted, and sentenced to imprison- •i meat with hard labour for life.
