O, ',.( , c ,' , ' ~--- --,,, eb Jening LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1844. We have often, in the discharge, of our public duty, had occasion to speak in terms far from flatter ing of the political conduct of the Marquis of LoNnoN DERRY, but of late our task has been a more pleasing one—to approve rather than to condemn —for since the advent of Sir R. PEEL to office, it is evident that the Noble Marquis has relaxed considerably in the starch austerity of his Toryism, and adopted a more mode rate and intelligent system of policy. To quote the remarkable phraseology of his illustrious relative, the late Lord CASTLEREAGH, he has in some degree " turned his back upon himself." He is no longer an uncompromising supporter of things as they are, from a firm conviction that they are already so per fect that it i 3 impossible to amend them ; but is beginning to entertain an impression that there is much in our political and commercial system that might be altered for the bet ter; and so far as we can gather from his recent speeches, he i 3 not unwilling to put his shoulder to the wheel, and make the experiment of innovation. Doubtless it is this liberal change in his sentiments that has made him so distasteful to the North Dur ham Conservatives, of whom, unfortunately, but a small mi • nority are in his favour, while a vast and increasing m ajority, looking upon him as a sort of deserter from the saerediseausieof Tory i n t o l erance, indignantly repudiate b President of their Associaticonailen's to the o ffi ce of pate, howe ver , t h at the IVimq odo .not antici the disappr o b a ti on of this No will tak e bigoted b ar aaljsorityaddvery seriously to h ear t. I ndeed his recent to his Londonderry tenantry shows that it has had not THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 184 t. trade in another, and that it is an act of injus tice in Sir ROBERT PEEL to make an exception in favour of corn. May we not, after a declaration like this, claim the Noble Marquis as a corn-law aboli tionist ? He is too manly and straightforward to support a shuffling system of expediency, merely be cause it is sanctioned by the weight of Ministerial authority ; and seeing what is the right course to take, we are confidently of opinion that he v% ill take that course, careless of the frowns of Sir R. PEEL, and the indignant reproaches of those two ducal luminaries, RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM. Indeed it would not at all surprise us, were he, at an early period of the ensuing season, to take the chair at one of the League meetings at Covent-garden, with Mr. COBDEN cheering him on one side, and Mr. BRIGHT shouting in sympathetic chorus on the other, to the infinite delectation of all true free-traders By the "New Zealand" papers last received, our attention has been powerfully drawn to two subjects of very dissimilar character, but perhaps of almost equal interest to that important colony. They re late, each of them, to the most _remarkable exempli fications of our defective colonial policy that can be, perhaps, adduced both against — the last and the pre sent Government of her MAJESTY. We have often lamented the utter want of decision, design, and energy, which characterised the proceedings of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, when Colonial Secretary, in dealing with the question of New Zealand occupation. His Lordship's halting and tardy recognition of those possessory rights of sovereignty, which the acts of Captain Cook on behalf of the British Crown, after circumnavigating the whole of the islands in 1770, had as clearly established, as had ever been done in the case of any other European discovery in the waters of the Pacific, led to half measures, which were followed by the usual results of such imperfect actions of State authority. The course adopted by her MAJESTY'S Ministers was satisfactory to no party. A large portion of the public were displeased with what they considered, on the first announcement of the arrangements concluded, to be an improvident and monopolitical bargain with a Joint-Stock Land Company for its special advantage. The managing direction of that Company have since loudly pro tested against the hard terms exacted of them by her MAJESTY'S Ministers. The few previously-settled English residents or proprietors within the limits of that distant country considered themselves aggrieved by the purchases of the Company on the one hand, and the powers assumed and delegated by the Rome Government on the other. It is no part of our busi ness to open up any of these questions. The title of the Crown, in our opinion, was clearly good; and had it been exercised without hesitation, much of the evil which has overtaken New Zealand, since the present Government came into power, would have been averted. But the Colonial Government which at present represents: it, seems to be paralysed by its example. Governor FITZROY is grievously re monstrated against in the petition of certain inhabi tants of the settlement of Nelson, "for the conduct pursued by his Excellency in declining to bring before the constitutional tribunals of the law the parties charged with the massacre of many of her MAJESTY'S faithful subjects (at Wairau, in New Zealand) on the 17th of June f 1843." The peti tioners indignantly represent, that whereas the Go vernor had subsequently taken a mass of evidence upon oath, of various credible European witnesses, implicating especially a Native Chief named " RAU PARAHA" as one of the instigators of, and chief actors in, the said massacre of two-and -twenty of their fellow-settlers (including a Commander in her MAJESTY'S Navy, a retired Captain in her MAJESTY'S Army, the Police Magistrate and Judge of the County Court of Nelson district, the Protector of the Aborigines, the Crown Prosecutor, and the Chief Magistrate), such Governor had yet, on the 12th of February last, after landing at Waikanai, on the North Island, voluntarily addressed an assembly of several hundred natives, then and there headed by RAUPARAIIA. That having received from the latter an account of the origin and manner of the Wairau massacre, which in most essential particulars was at variance with the sworn testimony of the European witnesses referred to, the said Governor, after half an hour's deliberation, without cross-examining the Chief or calling further evidence, declared to the natives and their leader, " that having heard and re flected upon their account, and compared it with that of the white men, he had decided that it was the misconduct of the English which had brought on the fight, and hurried the natives into the crime of mur dering unarmed men who had surrendered, but whose deaths, therefore, he would not avenge." We are warm partisans of a merciful and for bearing deportment on the part of civilised men to wards their more barbarous and unenlightened fellow creatures; and for this generosity, even to some excess, we naturally look, in all the transactions which bring savage nations in contact with our gal lant and humane countrymen. But where the locali t,ies on which these two conditions of human ex istence, the civilised and the, unreclaimed, are con terminous, as in New Zealand, it is not a mere principle of policy or expediency, but an esserAj a i condition of protection and even existence for the former, that the power, the force, the resources, the combined strength of civilisation, should be palpably evidenced and vindicated to the senses and appre hensions of barbarism. Wherever this object can be achieved without the sacrifice of life, or even re straints upon personal liberty, it is the duty of the civilised as Christians, as human brethren of a more . _ 1 intelligent order, to abstain from violence towards the savage. But the primary instincts of self- preserva -1 tion, as well as the duty of all its members to the social community they belong to, require and justify a resort to that species of physical vindication we speak of, whenever the society is menaced with an infliction of brute force, under the impulse of brute passion, intent on gratifying its appetite for blood. the are by no means prepared to consider whether Governor FITZROY is justified or not in his apparently unfavourable estimate of the conduct of the settlers. But we are fully prepared to say, assuming the al legations of the Nelson district petition to be true, that he has been distinctly wrong in the conduct he has adopted towards RAUPARAIIA and the other natives actually impli cated in the massacre of the two-and -twenty settlers at Wairau. He has himself admitted that these men had been guilty of the crime of mur dering u narmed men, fellow - subjects of his the slightest injurious effect on his spirits, but that he is just as happy and comfortable as if he had not been subjected to the awful displeasure of seven out of ten of the North Durham Conservatives. Of the address in question, which was delivered to a body of his tenantry in the Assembly-rooms of Newtownards, we may observe that, while there are one or two points in it against which we must enter our protest, there is much in it of which we decidedly approve—much that is characterised by justness of reasoning, and man liness and liberality of sentiment. On the important subject of the corn-laws, the Noble Marquis thus expresses himself :—" He did not under stand how any Minister who thought it right to introduce into his policy free trade at all ; he did not know how that Minister could make corn an ex ception. In order to prepare for a change he would implore his tenantry to go on cultivating the soil on which their existence depen&d. They had seen, during the last twenty years, many changes; they had seen the Minister, by the force of circumstances, and by the pressure from without, obliged to follow out a course of policy which it was contrary to his mind to pursue ; and having seen that, he could not sit down without impressing them with the fact that similar things might take place with regard to the corn-laws. He wished them to bear in mind that, when everything else was free, they could not expect that corn alone would be an exception." This is a remarkable declaration, considering the quarter whence it emanates. The speaker evidently anticipates the abolition of the corn-laws at no distant period, and, impressed with this conviction, he exhorts his tenantry to secure a snug shelter for themselves against the inevitable day when the roof-tree of Monopoly shall fall. Go on cultivating your lands, he tells them, with the utmost assiduity; avail your selves of all the recent improvements in agriculture ; neglect nothing that may tend to increase the means of your subsistence, and then you will no longer have cause to regret the downfal of the Protection system. But the Noble Marquis goes further than this in the above passage, for he states it as his deliberate opinion that if there is to be free trade in one thing, there should be free Paris papers of Sunday have bees received, but we find little in them interesting to the English reader. The Revue . des Deux Afondes, in adverting to the proceedings of the forthcoming session, says, the Op position will adopt a very moderate tone, and declare themselves as anxious to be on good terms with Eng land as M. GUIZOT himself. This is not all probable, but if the said scheme is founded on fact, what harm can the Opposition do to the Government ? They can only oppose M. GUIZOT, by departing from the principles . , on which they pretend to act ; but pre tending one thing, and doing another, are not means likely to give either character or strength to a party. The Journal des Debats has another article relative to Spanish affairs, in which it repels charges made against it by other Ministerial journals. These charges refer chiefly to attacks made on the New Reform Bill, and the despotic Government of CHRISTINA and Co. This organ of the Govern ment seems to disapprove of these great changes, while, at the same time, they are fully sanctioned by the Court and the Cabinet. This writing on both sides by the Ministerial journals only confirms the general belief that the revolution in Spain is of French manufacture. The French Funds continue to rise. At Tos,roNt's, on Sunday, a good deal of business was done. At the opening the Three per Cents. were quoted at 83f. 150., and shortly after rose to 83f. 25c., at which price they closed. We have received intelligence from Madrid of the th inst. On the previous Saturday, the 9th, the Chamber of Deputies began the discussion on the Reform Bill. A Member, of the name of LATOJA, commenced the debate, and contended that the Cortes had no power to amend or alter the Constitution. He objected also to the period at which the Bill was brought in, when the minds of men were in a state of great excitement, and not prepared to consider with calmness the important changes proposed. Another speaker defended the Bill, and after some speeches of no interest the debate was adjourned till Monday. On that day a Senor TEJADA made a very straightforward speech in favour of absolute monarchy—a line of argument very acceptable to the Government. He declared his full approbation of the Bill, took a review of the course of events in Spain since the death of FERDINAND VII., and de clared that all the evils which Spain had suffered , since that period were referable to the prevalence of revolutionary principles; which, under pretence of founding a constitutional government, led the country into anarchy and confusion. lle called upon the Government to restore the nobility and clergy to their ancient rights and privileges; for Spain, he said, was a monarchical and religious country, and neither required nor wished a representative Govern ment. Senor MARTINEZ DE LA Ros♦ followed, but his speech was cut short by the President, who an nounced that the hour of adjournment had arrived. MADRID BOURSE, Nov. 11.—The Three per Cents., 271 cash, 27 9-16 at sixty days; Five per Cents 20{ cash, 20/ at sixty days. Lier Majesty the Queen Dowager has kindly pre sented the Institution for the Religious Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb with 251. A new English church, called the Church of St. Paul, has been consecrated at Malta. It was erected at the eense of the Q ueen D owager , at the cost of 13,500 Lord Howe presented a beautiful statue of Faith, but the Lord Bishop objected to ite being placed iu the church, and Faith accordingly remains in the gar rison library. Lord Saye and Sele, whose death we recently an nounced, was the oldest Member of the House of Lords, of the Whig party, having entered it soon after the death of his father, Thomas, the tenth Baron, in July, 1783. In common with Lords Clinton. Deere, and the. Duke of Newcastle, he derived his descent from the Lord Saye, who, with other confederated Barone at Runnimede, compelled King John to sign Magna Chart; and from the Viscount Saye and Sele who, in the wars of Charles 1., sided with the Parliamentarians, and was the friend of Hampden, Fairfax, Denzil, Hollis, and Oliver Crom well. Lord Saye and Sele assisted in the ever.menio rable struggle for carrying the Reform Bill, and having fur more than forty years uniformly and consistently voted with the Whig party, was offered an earldom by the Grey and Melbourne Administrations, of which offer, however, his Lordship did not avail himself. He is succeeded in his title and estates by the Honourable William Eardley Twisleton Fienne6, present and twelfth Lord Saye and Sole. It is expected that the mortal re mains of the departed Nobleman will be deposited in his ancestral sepulchre at Broughton, on Saturday next. KINGSLAND AND DALSTON LITERARY AND SCIEN TIFIC INSTITUTT;oN.—We noticed, in one of our recent the intended establishment of a literary and E Y:..ientific institution in the above districts, and we are glad to find that the project is steadily progressing. Several auxiliary meetings have been held, at all of which perfect acquiescence in the object, and determina tion to forward it, were most un equ i voca ll y expressed. The list of shareholders and members already contains the names of a great many respectable and influential inhabitants of the neighbourhood ; but we regret to see the coolness which the landholders, the magistrates, and the clergy evince. How is this ? We should imagine that self-interest alone, if no higher motive, would in duce the landholder to foster the scheme, for it is mani fest that such an establishment would go far to consoli date the neighbourhood, and thus render the property the more valuable. Ask nine -tenths of those who leave the district why they leave, their answer will be found, with few exceptions, because the place is so dull in it self, and so far away from all proper places for recrea tion. The magistrates, as we have already said, should consider the great good these institutions produce where ever they are established, and surely it must be more agreeable to their better feelings to endeavour to create a preventive to vice, rather than to be called upon to a ,‘,. d i j o u l d t i h e e at s e ac o r n ed crime of li ; nor does h i rs it seem ministeremtonsincotmo assistpatibe in such an undertaking, for morality is the handmaid to religion, and he who lacks the former can never truly possess bo ve alluded the latter.to was Th The e l l a d s t at of thethe auxiliary llry dd l eon A meetings rmirs a, Myddleton-road, on Th urs d a y, th e 14th in s tant, 3, .

Does Captain FITZROY imagine that his own private im promptu impression that they had been " hurried" into this slaughter by the " misconduct" of their victims can purge them of their legal guilt (on that assumption), or relieve them from their responsibility to the just demands of civil government ? If the settlers are not guilty to the extent which he has been pleased to assume, RAUPARAIIA and his party must have been guilty in a far higher degree than they are even charged to be. If RAUPARAIIA and his party were really instigated by excessive provocations on the part of the settlers, it is necessary, not alone in justice to their reputation among the European settlers in general, but for their protection from the bloody feuds and retaliations which the descendants of the latter may otherwise be expected to maintain against themselves and their successors for long years to come, that this misconduct on the part of its two and-twenty victims should be clearly established in the face, and under the solemn forms of our legal tribunals. Retribution on the one hand, or expurga tion on the other, is implicitly demanded ; and we cannot doubt that the British Parliament will grant a Committee of Inquiry, or recommend some other efficient form of proceeding, with a view to satisfy the great expectations of British subjects as to the results of this melancholy affair. The other intelligence from New Zealand is of a much snore agreeable nature. It regards the rapid improvements effecting in the culture, preparation, and manufacture of the PHORMIUM TENAX. Now that the co!onists have got into the way of erecting machinery adequate to split the fibres of this ad mirable "New Zealand flax" without breaking them, and to cleanse the material or fabric from the husk or skin, we have no manner of doubt that some three or four years will suffice to give our countrymen in New Zealand the full advantage of supplying the home market here (the largest in the world) with this commodity, so invaluable as a military and naval store, as well as a commercial commodity of higher quality and better texture than that for which we pay annually such vast sums to Russia and other northern States. Yet, until a very recent period, notwith standing that repeated experiments had shown the superior properties of New Zealand flax (second only to those of the Manilla article), when not marred by the muscle-shell scraping, and filthy pre paration of the native makers ; no direct encourage ment could be obtained from the authorities at home for the development of a material so indispensable to our naval greatness, and for which we have so often been at the mercy, as it were, of the foreign grower or his Government. Colonial improvement, it seems, like " kissing," goes "by favour," We are heartily glad that it seems to have come to the turn of New Zealand to be saluted at last !

The question in this case was the liability of 'a trustee to make good certain sums which had been dissipated by an alleged abuse of trust on the part of his co-trustee. His honour had, on a recent occa sion, given his judgment on the main point, declaring the estate of the trustee, Thrower, liable for all the sums dissipated by the co-trustee, Bland. But with respect to two sums of 6001. and 8001. respectively he had had some hesita tien as to the order to be made, and on these two sums his decision had been reserved. His HONOUR now said that the estate of Thrower must be liable for the re-payment of these two sums also in addition to the rest. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) HOWARD V. GOSSETT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL resumed his argument in this part heard case, and contended that, even if the Court should be against him on the points which he had submitted on Friday, still they must give judgment in favour of the defendant, inasmuch as the defendant was acting merely ministerially in acting upon that warrant, which, at all events, was a suffi cient authority for him, and therefore that the action could not lie. He, therefore, submitted that upon this demurrer the Court must give judgment in favour of the defendant. Mr. KELLY then replied, and contended, on the authority of the King v. Elgee, that this Court could look to the wording of warrants issued by Courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction, inasmuch as in that case it had decided that a warrant issued by the Court of Bankruptcy, a superior court of record, like the House of Commons, was bad. He also quoted the case of Christie v. Unwin, in which the validity of a warrant issued by the Lord Chancellor had been questioned. He could not but regret that during the course of the last century some of the judges had laid down the law as if the Court could not interfere even to grant a habeas corpus in cases where persons had been committed by the House of Commons, but those dicta of the judges were contrary to the law, as it had been acted on both before and since. In the case of Lord Shaftesbury, in that of Hobhouse, in that of the sheriffs of Middlesex, this Court had granted a habeas corpus, and had looked to the warrants of commitment, and because they held those warrants :The case was proceeding when we went to press. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. GREGERY. Mr. WonnswoaTu in this case moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the de fendant, who was at present in the custody of the gaoler of Newgate. The defendant was in custody on an indictment, and the period of his imprisonment on that indictment was about to expire. There was a second indictment against him, to which he pleaded guilty, and on which the judgment stood over. The object of the present application was, that he be brought up on Thursday for judgment on the second indict ment; notice to that effect having been given, a habeas corpus directed to the gaoler being necessary for that purpose.—Application granted. EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) nuair v. LEIGII. In this case, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron on Wednesday last, and the verdict returned for the defendant, Mr. Knowles move d to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. The action was for work and labour in the course of last year; and the simple question for the Court to decide was, whether one of the receipts on which a verdict was given for the de fendantdocument, i nasmuc h as account was a runni ng it was not was stamped. alid and account, extending over a long p er i o d, an d t h e receipts were for sums paid va The e al at various times, that in question not being stamped. Th e Learned Counsel contended that the case came within th e S tamp A ct, and that, in accordance with the provisions of that Act, he was entitled to have the verdict entered for the plaintiff. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff littiranr and a Common Jttry.) hAiNtS hAINEB—LORD BROUGHAM'S ACT. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, and for money lent by the plaintiff to the defendant. A solicitor conducted the eye for the plaintiff. The action was undefendod. in September last year the defendant, who was a bookseller carrying on business in the vicinity of Covent-garden market, purchased from the plaintiff, also a bookseller in St. James's square, Clerkenwell, a quantity of manuscript ser mons, for which he agreed to pay 61. Subsequently he borrowed 61. from the plaintiff, for which he gave him an I. 0. U. The defendant had pleaded that he never was indebted to the plaintiff in the sums speci fied, and had paid 7s. into Court, at the same time pleading that the plaintiff had not sustained any loss or injury beyond that sum. The solicitor said, that through Lord Brougham's Act the plaintiff had been driven into that Court, and added that since the commencement of the action the defendant had sold all his goods, and the plaintiff would therefore hare to whistle for his money. The plantiff's daughter proved the delivery of the MS., and the lending of the 61., and the jury accord ingly gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 10/. ECXFORD V. HORNE. This was an action for work and labour rendered by the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff is a painter and decorator, and the defendant, some time ago, invented an improved kind of horse shoe, intended to prevent horses slipping on the wood pavement, for which ho obtained a patent, and commenced shoeing horses, on his Improved prin ciple, in the neighbourhood of Woodstock-square, The defendant, for the purpose of advertising his patent, employed the plaintiff to paint a signboard of extraordinary description, between twelve and six teen feet long, descriptive of his invention. It was, also, a most expensive article ; from its being deeply gilt and decorated in the style known as that of Louis XIV. and was mor e su i ted for a drawin g -r oom t h an for the foggy atmosphere of the London streets. The sum charged for the sign board was 551., a portion of which had been paid, and the action was f or t h e b alance. The defendant, it ap peared,the work. jury e e r i f aa e s e t t , y w as undefended,satisfied with andthe aetion, l ls ik .a e s th p turned a verdict for the plaintiff. ARCHES' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) IN TIIE MATTER OF THE EARL AND COUNTESS OP DYSART.—JUDGMENT. jDr. LUSIIINGTON proceeded this morning to give udgment i n thi s i mportant case. The suit was originally instituted by the Earl of Dysart to enforce the Countess to return to his house, his real obje , 3t, as stated by his counsel, being to protect himself a; ;ainst any liabilities incurred by the Countess as his wife. She petitioned, and in her pleadings stated that from his former cruelty she was now afraid to resume her conjugal duties, lest she should again be sub,t 4e t t o personal violence. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The LORD-CHANCELLOR sat to• day, shortly after ten o'clock. TILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. rottEn. The LORD-CIIAN7ELLOR gave judgment in this case, which came before his Lordship some time since on exceptions. His Lordship allowed the exceptions: EX-PARTE VAN SANDAU. His LORDSHIP said that, in the case of Mr. Van Sandau, which was before him on Saturday, he had stated, after mentioning the several precedents that had been referred to, that he would not take upon himself to decide that the order which had been pro nounced was valid, because the subject was under further inquiry in a court of law. His Lordship had also stated that his decision was final. Now he ought further to have stated that the judgment he was giving was upon an ordinary petition, and not a special case for the decision of the Court of Review. his Lordship believed that, by the 37th section of the Bankrupt Act, no judgment of the Court of Review could be questioned in the House of Lords except upon a special case. It was true he might have sent the matter to the Vice- Chancellor, in order that he might direct a special case for the opinion of the Court, but he did not think it neces sary. He had mentioned this case in consequence of some misrepresentations that had gone forth : he had said nothing disrespectful to the Learned Judge ; that was the last thing he would do, because he had for him the most special regard. His HoNoun had great difficulty in coming to an immediate conclusion, as the evidence adduced on both sides was of so contradictory a character, and therefore it would be necessary for him, in the exercise of his duty, to enter at considerable length ) and at the haA.ard of' being Soiiiewhat tedious, into tilt; tiettilli of the case. His Honour then dwelt minutely on the statements of the different witnesses, and concluded by saying, that in hi s consc i ence be believed, that that these unhappy , dissensions were in the first instance occasioned by Lady ysat't's own violence, unguarded language, frequently absenting herself from her husband's roof, to enjoy the greater indulgences of her fathers house, and one primary cause of these divisions might be found in the little effort she made to consult his tastes, his habits, his wishes—he would even say his eccen tricities. But he (Dr. Lushington) did not exclude the Noble Earl from blame. His language was such to his wife as no man, even in the most degraded state of society, would use to the veriest pro fligate, and his passions were not kept under that proper control which was so necessary in a man of his irritable temperament. Yet again, he said, that looking over all the evidence, ho could see no reason why Lady Dysart should not return to her duties, and to the shelter of her husband's roof. The petition was accordingly dismissed. An appeal was entered against the judgment. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE Vi WTY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was freely supplied.

Advices have been received to Sept. 14, from the Cape of Good Hope. The state of the colony, both politically and economically speaking, was satisfactory. The Eafirs on the frontier were quieter, and the leaders evinced more disposition to act with our troops in check ing the thievish propensities oftheir people. The Governor had been to the Eastern colony, and a stronger military force was expected to be in future stationed in the so called neutral territory. By virtue of instructions from Lord Stanley, Natal had been formally constituted a dependency of the Cape, the Governor of the latter having full jurisdiction over it, althought there is a Lieutenant-Governor and a local executive and judicature appointed. The appearance of the town of Natal, and the village of Pietermauritzberg, is represented as having materially improved since Colonel Somerset arrived with the troops, and many of the Dutch farmers were anxious to see the settlement retained by the English. Local improvements were progressing also in the older colonies, and there would soon be a road formed from Graham's Town to the Cape.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—The Chambers, in its sitting to-day, adopted, by a second vote, the project of Je l. for increasing the salaries of the Members of the Court of Justice. The Minister of Finance" presented a project of law which he introduced with the following observe; tio - na :—" Gentlemen—The law of the 21st of March last for the conversion of the loan °f 100,800,000 francs, did not authorise the exchange of the Bonds at 5 per cent., for Bonds at 4i per ca t ' except on Belgium and at Paris. We did not knoll at that time what was the amount of those in Eng' land, but according to the declarations which hay s . been made up to this day for the conversion , the t amount is already more than twenty millions °I francs. I have, therefore, judged that, for the iat e i ; rest of public credit, as well as of the Eng lis holders, it would be advisable to facilitate the er change of those bonds in England. The King best' therefore, authorised me to present to you a pr o j ect of law to that effect." The Minister then presented a project of lei authorising the exchange at London. It was referred to the Central Section, whic h to examine the budget of the public debt. BELGIAN FUND3.--Baussais, Nov. 1 6 .

CLEANLINESS.—Among the good signs of the times, he means now being taken for the promotion of habits of cleanliness, are not the least gratifying. The follow ing remarks upon the subject by Addison, will be read with interest :—" Cleanliness may be defined to be the emblem of purity of mind, and may be recommended under the three following heads : as it is a mark of politeness, as it produces affection, and as it bears analogy to chastity of sentiment. First, it is a mark of politeness, for it is universally agreed upon that no one unadorned with this virtue can go into company without giving a manifold offence. The different nations of the world ate as much distinguished by their cleanliness as by their arts and sciences ; the more they are advanced in civilisation, the more they consult this part of polite ness. Secondly, cleanliness may be said to be the foster mother of affection. Beauty commonly produces love, cleanliness preserves it. Age, itself, is not unamiable while it is preserved clean and unsullied ; like a piece of metal constantly kept smooth and bright, we look on it with more pleasure than on a new vessel cankered with rust. I might further observe, that as cleanliness renders us agreeable to others, it makes us easy to our selves ; that it is an excellent preservative to health, and that several vices both of mind and body are inconsistent with the habit of it. In the third place, it bears a great analogy 'with chastity of sentiment, and naturally in spires refined feelings and passions. We find from ex perience that through the prevalence of custom the most vicious actions los: their horror by being made familiar to us, while on the co,:trarY' those who live in the neigh bourhood of good exatnp: es fly from the first appearance thus pure and unsullied of what is shocking ; an to the mind by these thoughts are naturally suggeste,l ' us when they are o'ljects that perpetually ene om p as . beautiful and elegant in their kind."

(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) The Second November Sessions commenced this morning, at the Court-house, Clerken well. The calendar contains the names of fifty-nine prisoners, although not a fortnight has elapsed since the Court sat last. Many of the cases were of the most paltry and trifling nature. One prisoner was committed for stealing three herrings, another for stealing 3lbs. of potatoes, and a third for stealing a quarter of a pound of soap. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE briefly addressed the Grand Jury, and commented upon the recent im provement which bad been effected in the criminal law, by which the business of the Old Bailey was so much expedited. The calendar did not present any unusual features which rendered it necessary for him to advert more particularly to them, as although the calendar was numerically heavy, there were compa ratively no serious cases for trial. THREATENING A POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of Mr. Rawlinson, the presiding magistrate of the Marylebone Police-court, applied to the Bench to have Robert Kingston bound over to keep the peace towards that gentleman under the following circumstances :—The Learned Counsel stated that Kingston was brought before Mr. Raw linson on three separate charges of assault, for each of which he was fined in the penalty of 40s. Having paid those three fines, he was liberated, but on the same evening was again apprehended for a riot and disturbance, and in the morning again brought before the worthy Magistrate, by whom he was fined 51., and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. In a day or two after this he called at the Marylebone Police-court with a heavy whip in his hand, and fol lowed by a ferocious bull dog, demanding that the inspector on duty should point out Mr. Rawlinson to him, as he (Kingston) was determined to give him a sound drubbing. He (Mr. Clarkson) trusted, under all the circumstances of the case, the Court would feel bound to order the ordinary process of the Court to issue. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE inquired if Mr. Kingston was in custody at present ? Mr. CLARKSON said he believed he was in Court now. One of his sureties had refused to remain an swerable for him any longer. lie was not, therefore, under sureties now, neither did Inspector Tedman consider himself at liberty to take him into custody. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said if he had surrendered he was in custody of the Court. lie (the Assistant-Judge) should therefore take care that Kingston should not leave the Court without enter ing into proper sureties, which would effectually pre vent injury being inflicted by him upon any person. Mr. Kingston then sat down before the bar in cus tody of one of the officers of the Court. The prisoner is a remarkable powerful-looking man, and is well known on the turf, and in the ring, having challenged Ben Ceuta, who is well known as champion of England, to a pugilistic encounter. LL
