We are assured that so far from there being a repugnance ex hibited towards convict labour " the conditional par 7: don men are held at Purt Phillip in high estimation." Upon this point Colonel Jebb remarks— " I do not hesitate to s•ate my own conviction that if there be established for all convicts a sound and uniform system of discipline and industrial training in this country, for periods such as arc ;now contem plated (averaging ; perhaps, from three to three and a half years), so favourable an effect on the character of a large proportion will be produced that, taken as a body, they will bl - 3 found more valuable in any colony. where there cxl*ts an ad, quate demand for labour, than an equal number of emigrants taken indiscrimi• nately from the large towns and country districts. I am borne out in this opinion by some experience." We find from nearly all the prison authorities who are introduced by Colonel Jebb into his report a con current testimony to the importance of keeping faith with the prisoner, and granting the leave ticket at the period when he has been led to expect it. The effects of the uncertainty Colonel Jebb declares to be a great check in the way of reformation, and be earnestly presses upon the attention of the Govern ment the question, whether it would be poSsible to diminish the number to be transported, by releasing them in this country, on their showing that they had the means of earning their livelihood or obtaining security fir their future good conduct. He al: o suggests that a probationary term should be passed in the colonies, for " there is too wide a distinction be tween'the full privileges of a ticket of leave, and the penal gangs in Norfolk Island." This report and the very many important facts that 'are' appended to it will afford the Government abundant material for future regulations ; and, under the attentive superin tendence of Ulenel Jebb, We may rest assured that in the discipline of our prisons everything will be effected that a wise and watchful care for the interests of criminals, no less than for the ends of justice, and the benefit of society can suggest.

In the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester line this company holds 35,000 shares out of 56,000 ; there is u sum of 40,0001. and upwards in hand ; and that in the Exeter and Ex mouth line, in which this comp: my holds 4 000 shares out of 16,000, there remains 5,0001. and upwards. With these remarks the directors close the subject of the company's unexecuted lures. The remaining question for the consideration of the meeting is the propriety of discontinuing the insurance of the com pany's property against loss by lire, at an annual ex pmse of 1,2001., and of making provision for casual ties of this character by setting apart annually out of the revenue of the company a sum assumed in the run of years to be sufficient to cover them. The directors, on the recommenctltion of their stores' cemmittee, are of opinion that such an arrangement would be en economical and prudent one, and that it is fairly deserving the consideration of the proprietors at large.

CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 22. DEATH OF THE PROVOST OF KING'S CoLLEGR.— Intelligence was received here yesterday of the de , cease, on Monday morning, at his residence, in \Vim. pole-street, Cavendish-square, of the Rev. George Thackeray, D.D., F.L.S., Provost of King's C o ll ege , at the age of 73. The subject of the present notice was born in 1777, at Harrow. His grandfather was head master of Harrow School, and the father of a numerous family, whose sons have achieved distinction in various pro fessions. The father of the late Provost became an eminent physician, and removed to Windsor, where he was the favourite attendant upon George 111. The late Dr. Thackeray was entered at Eton School, where he speedily acquired distinction, and in due time proceeded to King's College. Here he was created 8.A., 1802, M.A., 1805, and in the same year was made a Fellow of the College. Ile was shortly afterwards appointed one of the assistant-masters of Eton, where he continued until h e was a pp ointed, in 1814, Provost of King's College, on the decease of Dr. Sumner. lie was created B.D. in 1813, and D.D. in 1814 (by royal mandate), on his election to the Pro vostship, and in the same year ho served the office of Vice-Chancellor of the University. The same year Dr. Thackeray espoused Miss Cottle, whom he sur vived, and by whom he leaves issue one daughter, who is heiress to his great wealth. The deceased held the appointment of chaplain in ordinary to George 111. and the succeeding Sovereigns, including her present Majesty. He was an erudite classic, and had the re putation of having effected great improvements in the University examinations and course of studies in that respect. Dr. Thackeray was in addition an eminent naturalist, and his collection and library in connexion with that study are reputed (as private ones) to rank among the best in England. Dr. Thackeray suffered for some years before his decease from an internal complaint, which finally carried him off, and had for some time incapacita'ed him from taking an active part in the administration of the affairs of the college.

SlR,—The West . lndian colonies have seldom pot sesied a larger share of public a' tention than at pre sent: Scheele after scheme has lately been put forth for their melioration in their present dilspidatf-d state. But it is precisely because in all theee schemes I have seen nothing; which appears to strike at the great root of the evil, or, indeed, to take cognizance of it at all, that I venture to trouble vcu at this time. A residence of several years in the very interior of the most important of our West Indian islands, Jas main, gives me some claim at least to be heard upon this subject. We have, in this country, been accus tomed to hear chiefly the evil reports of the planters and the West Indian interest generally, and, probably from this circumstance, the opinion seems to have gained almost universal acceptance, that the fai lure of the emancipation scheme in so far as its pecuniary results are concerned, is owing entirely to the inherent indolence of the negro character. We hear constantly of the iirpsssibility, on free trade principles, of the competition of free with slave labour. We are recommended by one party, as the only remedy, to put on again the protective duties; and by another, to do virtually the same thing by enforcing the slave treaties with Spain and Brazil, a matter which could not possibly be carried out so long as Cuba and Brazil enjoy such an extensive and profitable trade, without the interference of war, to which the advocates of this scheme are for most part strenuously opposed. Or, again, we are recom mended to pursue a new tide of emigration, as if facts had not long since proved the uselessness of any such remedy. What we have to complain of chiefly is, that we have seen no practical recommendation with regard to the improvement of the present internal re sources of our West Indian islands, in which alone lie the foundations of all health. It is generally taken for granted that no such remedies are possible, a conclu sion which all our experience most amply contradicts. It is surely ren,arkable that more inquiry has not been made into the management of West Indian pro perty after the period of emancipation. Every one who can have any pretension to a knowledge of the subject at all, must know that property at that period was involved to an immense extent, so much so that by far the greater part of the redemption money was paid to mortgagee--s; so far, indeed, was it involved at that time, that it is a question, whether, if the old slave institutions had been maintained in all their pristine vigour, property would not now have been nearly in the same state that it really is. The pre valence, all but universal, of absenteeism, and the in troduction of a most expensive and reckless system of management, perhaps sufficiently account for such a state of matters. Bat, leaving these questions out of view, it is surely our duty to inquire whether, after the passing of the Emancipation Act, matters were so conducted by the West India planters as to give that Act any fair chance of success. This is not a question which involves only psst interests, and which it is therefore unnecessary and uncharitable to hives • tigate ; it is one which must he discussed and decided, to enable us to act wisely in time to come—it is one on which binges the whole question of the propriety, in a pecuniary point of view, of the Emancipation Act; and, therefore, one which may influence much the continuance of American slavery at least. It is especially important at present, as, if it can be proved that the free negro is unable to compete, under any circumstances, with the slave, in sugar cultivation, we may reasonably conclude that an attempt to in troduce the cultivation of cotton, or any other new material, would prove equally a failure. Now, Sir, it appears to me that any party residing in the West Indies, with a mind free from prejudice, during the early operation of the Emancipation Act, could not but conclude that the method pursued by the planters was of a kind that could not possibly have been expected to succeed in any free country. Every means was used in most cases—for of course no charge of the kind can be made univer sally—to keep the people still ae• far as possible under a system of oppression ; every petty annoyance that one could imagine was given, to that one might have supposed that the managers had some interest in driving the negroes far from the properties. Exor bitant rents were charged fer their huts; the trees, which they or their fathers had planted, were in many cases cut down before their doors, or they were forbidden to touch the fruits ; their gardens were not unfrequently destroyed ; wages were gene rally paid most irregularly, and advantage taken in numerous cases of the ignorance of the people, and their powerlessness in the inferior law courts to de prive them of them, either in part or altogether. Such causes as these, as might have been certainly expected, soon drove all who had industry and energy enough to lay up capital to procure settlements of their own, in which to take refuge. Other induce ments of a positive class to migrate in this way were also at this time very great. The growth of ground provisions for the markets of the neighbouring towns was found both a more profitable and more certain method of acquiring money, than labour on the sugar estates. When the family was too large for this work alone, the younger members still continued to cultivate sugar on the plantations. The natural love of independence, no doubt, formed also a powerful motive. All these causes, but especially the : first, the irksomeness of being exposed to the continual annoyances of the planters, early induced a most extensive system of migration, probably extending in a few years to above a half of the labouring population, and now much more. This, though seldom taken into account in any plans of improvement, seems to me the class on which we must ground almost our entire hopes for the revival of West Indian prosperity. They have been constantly misrepresented in this country as idle squatters, who have betaken themselves to their fastnesses to spend their lives in indolent and sottish pleasure. This conclusion seems to me one at utter variance witu the real facts of the case. Coming in contact with every class, I have found them, univer sally, by far the most industrious, moral, and even intel a p. intel lectual part of the p o p ulation. Rather them be com p ared to the wretched squatting peasantry of the south of happy Ireland, they shoul d be viewed as the nuclei of such an i industrious, neglect, o e u g s l , e c t, independent, ari s arising m misrepresentation, f from 0 and ud peasantry as theinhabit mountains of Switzerland. They may, indeed, proximate in time to the former class, but if they do, it seems to me that not they, but ourselves, will be to blame. The charge of indolence is refuted by fact of the purchases of land they have dma e. The portions may be small and the sums trifling compared u with those paid by buyers of land in this country, but it surely required no small amount of industry and energy to lay up in a few years, out of wages at the rate of ls. 6-1. per day, sums averaging from 101. to 1001., and even upwards. Of course more than 15. 6d. might be obtained by t askwork, but this only by pro ducing more than an ordinary day's labour. And not only so, but this class, in so far as we were ac quainted with the it proceedings, continued year by year to improve their houses, and to lay up money to procure more land. Many of their cottages, which I have myself visited might bear comparison with the abode of any ordinary English labourer. The neatly shingled roof, the well-boarded floor, the number of apart ments, all bore witness to the industry and desire of improvement of the inhabitants. I may say that I have seen a whole mountain side smile with such cottages as these. Besides this, almost all these settlers were possessed of either a horse or mule for personal use and the carriage of provisions to market, animals which in Jamaica cost fully the average price that they do in this country. The desire and inten tion of these settlers, at least some four or five years since, was to extend their properties as quickly as possible. They were most anxious too to obtain some article for which there might be a demand in. the English market, to cultivate for themselves, and thus to open up limitless prospects of improveme • nt This was so much the case . that, When the demand for ginger had one year suddenly increased, the amount planted the year following far exceeded the demand. The charge of sottish indolence seems thus without ground. It may be believed by many of the planters, because they are so prejudiced against independent labour, or rather against the independent labourers, as to shut their eyes to any of its favourable charac teristics. Surely, then, w e may hope for brighter days by an entire change of system. It is scarcely to be expected that the prosperity of Jamaica is to be revived by anything like an attempt to put down these indepen dent settlements, and to force back things to the position which they occupied when emancipation was proclaimed. I believe that an attempt to proclaim such a result, which some writers lave lately recom mended, would be generally fraught with mischief. Besides its manifest cruelty and injustice, the same causes as ever are to a large extent at work to prevent its success. I believe, on the other hand, that if the cultivation be now entirely thrown into the hands of the negroes themselves, whether on bought or rented land, the more of the former the better, and if we our selves are satisfied to assume the position of merchants an d manufacturers alone, our colonies would soon re cover their diminished strength and be able to com pete with any slave country in the world. We all know how much enthusiasm is imparted by the feeling of working directly for ourselves; all history, too, shows that an independent peasantry has always been the most frugal and industrious. Why, then, should we seek to crush the independent spirit of the West Indian mgro, and on what principle of human neture are we to suppose that we will not obtain far greater results by fostering and cherish ing it ? If a peculier method of cultivation required to be attended to, the evils of such a system might be easily warded off by the appointment of superintendents to see to this, whos.3 services Would speedily enough be brought into requisition, if necessary, to make the article marketable. In sugar I have always thought that such s system would be abundantly successful. In cotton it would probahly . be even more so, and surely, when such Lrge interests are involved, it might be of im portance to inquire minutely into t}is matter. If some of our merchants would begin to establish depots on the system we have proposed, I have no doubt that, in a few years, they would reap en abundant harvest.—l am, Sir, &c., S. Oct. 10, 1850. THE PORTLAND CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT. REPORT OF LIEUTENANT-CuLONEL JFDR, C. 8., SUR VEYOR-GENARAL OF PRIiONS, ON TIIR DISCIPLINE AND CONSTRUCTION OF PORTLAND rersose. [Presented to Parliament by command of her Majesty.] The subject of prison discipline has for very many years engaged the attention of philanthropiets and statesmen, and that higher branch of it which affects more especially the convict population, has, even of late, threatened to be a formidable difficulty to the Government of the country. It would, we fear, be too much to say that the mild and enlightened prin ciples that now regulate the treatment of criminals are such as to remove every feeling of doubt from the mind of the philanthropist, or every difficulty from the path of the statesman, but, after a careful perusal of the very instructive report which Colonel Jebb has made upon the discipline and management of convict prisons, we must confess that we think we have approached as near perfection in convict disci pline as is possible. We have left far behind us the days when Howard mourned and Hunt anathemised the old county gaols ; and men, having learnt their duties to themselves, are discovering that they owe duties to society. The convicted offender against the law is no longer flung into the hulks and left to be swept off by cholera, or infected with that fearful moral pestilence which made a convict ship a mundane hell. Even those whose offences or whose vices have placed the na altogether ,without the pale of society, are now the objects of the highest solicitude and care, and—para doxical as it may seem—the man who has been banished for life from his kindred and country, has now lavished on him the most attentive and consi derate kindnesses, that he may be presented, reformed, and renewed, to that society from whence he had been altogether expelled. The Convict Establishment at Portland, in this county of Dorset, is designed to occupy a conspicuous part in the grand moral effort that is being made for the reclamation of convicts. The punishment of transportation is now divided into three successive stages, in which punishment and discipline are inge niouly interwoven with encouragements and rewards. The first stage is separate confinement, of which every convict must feel the pangs for a period not exceeding eighteen months. Here he is first taught that his own conduct may materially influence his position ; for the duration of his confinement depends entirely upon his behaviour. This stage is usually passed in Pen tonville prison. The second is undergone at Portland, where the convict is employed upon public works. The third and last stage is passed abroad, either with a ticket of leave or under penal discipline, according to the character and conduct of the convict whilst in confin=ement in this country. To show how very much a prisoner may influence his sentence, we may state that seven years' transports may recommend themselves by their behaviour for a ticket of leave, immediately after serving their proba tionary term of separate confinement, and may alto gether avoid the second stage; and a prisoner who is engaged on public works may shorten his term of detention at the second stage by two, three, or even four-and-a-half years. The ticket of leave permits him to remain at liberty within a prescribed district, and to work for wages, and the families of well-con ducted convicts are assisted by Government in the ex pense of a passage to the colonies. We have, however, to deal principally on this oc• casion with the admirable establishment which is in operation in this county, and which, as most of our readers know, was designed for the twofold object of securing convicted offenders in a situation of soli tude, and of usefully employing their labour upon a work of national importance. The Fortland prison, is erected upon a very comprehensive design, and em braces as much comfort and accommodation for the 640 prisoners which it can contain as could possibly be blended with rigid discipline. The buildings are well ventilated and warmed, and the convict is so far at liberty that he, can control the atmosphere of his cell. his daily routine is :—rise at six ; work till eight ; attend morning prayers, occupying ten minutes immediately before or after breakfast; labour till dinner (at twelve), and from breakfast till supper, at six, when evening prayers and the daily lecture are delivered. Each prisoner is allowed half-a-day a week in school, besides attending the evening classes. " The course of imprisonment of the convicts at Portland—(we now quote from the report of Captain Whilty, the excellent governor)—consists generally cf a combination of associated labour by day, with sepa ration (by means of cells) during the night end even ings, and at meal times. When in their cells at the above times, strict silence is enforced upon the pri soners ; but during the hours of labour (which is al ways carried on under the immediate superintendence of the prison officers) they are allowed to converse to such an extent as not to interrupt the progress of their work. The effect of maintaining this greater degree of restraint while actually within the prison walls is to cause the convicts to proceed without unwil lingness to their daily labour, as relieving them from the irksomeness of separation, of which they have had so much experience during the previous probationary period of their sentences. The frequent recu rrence of this restraint acts also as a wholesome check on the natural tendency of the labour outside the walls to relax strict prison discipline." In order to stimulate the convicts to proper beha viour, good-conduct badges are given to the desery • ing ; and a register is kept of every prisoner in the " character book." To encourage the men to in dustry, a small gratuity is added—the men in the first class getting 9d., the second class men 64., and the third class 4d. per week out of the shilling per week allowed by the Lords of the Admiralty for each con vict employed on the Breakwater. The amount of a prisoner's gratuities are forwarded to the Governor of the colony to which he is sent, and applied to his be nefit in the manner that is considered by the authori ties most desirable. " The inexperience of the officers," remarks Cap tain Whitty, ' and generally of the convicts them selves (whose trades were not brought into operation), has doubtless acted unfavourably on the amount of profitable labour performed during the first year of the establishment. The, value of the convicts' labour however, within the year, even under these unfa vourable circumstances, has been upwards of 8,0001, which gives (on the average number of 480 men), over 161. as the annual average value of the labour of every convict in the' prison; and I think there can be no doubt that as the system becomes more per feated, the value of the convict' s labour will be con siderably earnings, to the convicts in power on their parts to in crease increased. The allowance of 4d , 6d., or have Some a of very etn stimulating have alread effect 9thje.differentbywayi t b y extra ocflawsseee, exertion, in beginning, I feel satis fied,ylearned on to their industry. ap preciate the advantage of having a small sum laid by to promote their future welfare in the colonies ; and the attention of the convicts generally appears to be drawn with beneficial effect to the reality of this kind of encouragement. " The minor punishments inflicted have been bread and water (not exceeding three days), stoppage of a meal, privation of light in the evening, close confine ment, work within the prison walls, removal to a lower class, forfeiture of a month's good-conduct badge, and separate confinement for a period not ex ceeding twenty-eight days in the stone cells provided for the purpose. This latter punishment is found to have the salutary effect in making a prisoner feel the danger of his losingein case of his own misconduct,..the privileges placed within his reach by the present pro bationary system. The most common offences againte the rules are—speaking in the cells, tricks about foe. bartering it with each other for books or other ar , tides, and having prohibited articles in possession. With respect to the last offence, this establishment is under considerable disadvantage, as compared with a prison in which the prisoners are constantly within the walls. Workmen and others outside the boun dary walls wishing for opportunities (often, perhaps, from mistaken motives of pity) of giving tobacco o l t other prohibited articles to the convicts, hive iiee;Ae means of effecting it with lass chance of detection, and, if they act warily, of evading the law by which they could be punished for attempting to introduce such articles within the walls of th e p rison." " The present establishment is calculated to contain NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE ANNIVERSARY OF TRAFALGAR.

These gates, with the lodges and celestial and ter restrial globe-capped pillars, have been removed in the course of the improvements to their present position. Much as the public admires the improvements of the grounds about the hospital, it is to be regretted that they were accomplished without giving any com pensation to the many officers who were tereby de prived of an important portion of their conveniences. When we hear of cases like those which lately occa sioned the benevolent to subscribe for the relief of the distress of the families of old officers of Green wich Hospital, we are satisfied that those veteran officers can ill afford to be deprived of any part of their scanty privileges. CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Al though we have had later dates from Captain Austin's expedition, so few letters have been received from the ships, that the following from an officer is perhaps worth readine• Her Majesty's ship Assistance, hit. 73 30, near Cape Shackleton, July 1, 1850. " Here we are, made fast to a berg. We entered the ice this morning, and our tenders have towed us so far ; we have made fast for a few hours. The sea appears well clear from the tops of the hills. We shall proceed almost immediately. We left the Whale Islands on the 23d, called at Upernwick on the 25th, and the same night we made the pack. In the morning stood in where we saw several vessels at anchor; found Penny's expedition amongst them. We made fast to a berg until this morning, having been told that the ice was not open ; this morning we made a bolt for it, and passed Penny's vessels at noon. They are nice-looking craft, were under sail and towing. " We are all well and iss great spirits, as you may suppose, at being ahead of all the whalers, &c. The opportunity of sending this has occurred very unci pectedly ; we had given up all idea of another chance, but to our joy we fell in with a whaler's boats re turning to their vessel, by which I send this ; she be longs to the Chieftain."

The report of the directors to be submitted at the special meeting on Friday states that the directors, having resolved that they would not commence the execution of any of the works which the company had acquired powers to make, nor resume operations on the branches on which expenditure had been sus pended, without previously submitting the propriety of doing so to a special meeting of the shareholders, the present meeting was called, in order to remind the proprietors of the company's position in respect of their powers, and of obtaining their sanction to such a limited expenditure only as appeared not merely prudent in itself, but also the wisest course with re ference to the expenditure already incurred. The only undertakings on which the directors are prepared to recommend further outlay are the Farnham and. Alton branch and the Taw Vale Railway. The for mer, as regards the portion between Guildford and Farnham, has been already completed and opened. The works on the remaining portion of the line, namely, between Farnham and Alton, when they were suspended in 1848, were verging also towards completion. On examina tion of the works, and the company's relations with the contractor, landowners, and other persons, it has been found that if the uncompleted portion of the line were abandoned the company would have to pay a considerable further sum in procuring settle ments with the contractor and landowners, in addition to the 49,090/. expended to the 30th of June last. The directors have endeavoured to ascertain the lowest amount at which these works may be completed for a single line of railway, and it appears that by an out lay only exceeding by about 30,000/. the amount which must be paid if the works are finally aban doned, the nine miles of railway between Farnham and Alton may be completed and. opened for traffic with a single line of railway. As it is thus within the power of the company to obtain nine additional miles of railway at a cost of 3,500/. per mile, and which may be worked with but little addition to the rolling stock now engaged in working the line be tween Guildford and Farnham, the directors are of opinion that these works should be resumed as soon as satisfactory arrangements shall have been made with the contractor and landowners. in the Taw Vale district the directors recommend the acquiescence and co-operation of this company in a scheme for the com pletion of that line which has be en proposed by the directors of the Taw Vale Railway, and unanimously sanctioned by their proprietors. The expenditure and liabilities of this company in respect of the Taw Vale Rail Way amount to 70,000/. ; that is to say, the company are hollers of 7,080 shares of 201. each in Faw Vale stock, in respect of which the above amount has been paid. The directors fear that the ‘N hole of this sum will be lost to the company unless some mea sures,, necessarily involving further expenditure, are resorted to; but they believe that by the proposed plan, which will involve a further payment on their shareslby this company of 30,0001. (to be made, not in money, but in surplus rails), the company's past expenditure will be retrieved. The Taw Vale Com pany have power to construct a railway from the ter minus of the Exeter and Crediton Railway at Cre • diton to the north coast of Devon, at Barnstaple aed Bideford. They have executed, and are ready to open for traffic; nine miles of the northern part of their line, upon which they have expended about 170,000/. ; but, unless the intervening portion be tween their completed railway and the lines and country south of it be finished, there seems no chance of working any part with remuneration. Under these circumstances, the directors of the Taw Vale Com pany have entered into a conditional engagement with a most responsible contractor, who is not only to finish the railway, but to provide rolling stock, and work and maintain the line for a period of seven years from its opening, paying a fixed rent of 12,0001. a year. This will enable the Taw Vale Company to pay 4i per cent. on the borrowed capital, and two per cent. on the whole of its share capital. The lessee is also to pay the company half the surplus profits be yond the fixed rent. The directors consider the pro posal deserving this company's cordial support, as it secures a return of 2 per cent. on the total advances of this company, or 6 per cent. on that which they are now called on to make in surplus rails. The com pletion of the line will also be of material advantage to this company, in giving increased value to their property in the Exeter and Crediton Railway, over which the bulk of the Taw Vale traffic will pass. The directors do not recommend the proprietors to make any further expenditure. The company's powers for the compulsory acquisition of land on the Basingstoke and Salisbury, and the Salisbury and Yeovil lines expire in the ensuing summer, and the directors feel, that whilst the commencement of any of these works is at present not practicable, so also any proposal merely to extend the company's powers would be distasteful to the general body of the proprietors, who are anxious to see the capital expenditure closed. As regards the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester and the Exeter and Exmouth lines, the powers of con struction reside in separate companies; this com pany being shareholders only. With both those companies agreements of lease have been entered into, un?er the sanction of general meetings ; hut no leases have been executed. 'The Railways Abandon. tnent Act of last session enables the shareholders in these companies to accomplish their dissolution with t oomufaty thata b n y e Ar s e p ca e ts c .o i n a l s Tfa for re p lidc avoidingai r t e i cation r t rs o e e P o u a t r l s i ea recommend t t n o e t n h t e ; mt ei n e: hs e e rr r ey e : holders to leave these matters in their hands, with the understanding that the lines in ques ti on are no t to be TUNIS. TUNIS, SEPT. 27.—8: fore the arrival in this city of Sidi Alahomed Benayet from England, France, and Italy, which was on the 21st, many spoke of a hostile demonstration which it was imminent that the Sublime Porte would have made on this Regency ; but everything is now settled. It seems that Benayet had obtained, by mrrns of the French Republican Government, an assurance on the part of the Porte that this Regency would not be molested while the present 13, - -y remained in command. It is said, for certain, that Benayet succeeded in Paris in making a loan of 15 millions of francs, pay able in eglit years, giving as a security the property of the I3ey. ' A Sardinian frigate is expected here bearing deco rations and the cordon of St. Maurice and Lazarus for his ilightuss ; sent as a return for horses, lions, and many precious objects sent to Victor Emmanuel. Alter the arrival of the Tunisian steamer Minos (the only one bt longing to the Bey) from Toulon and MarseilleA, the two French men-of-war that wore Stationed here since the Turkish fleet sailed from the Dardanelles have left. The cholera has ceased in all the Regency, and commerce begins to prosper. The crop of pulse has been abundant—that of olive very abundant. It is hoped that in a few d. , tys the Bey gill permit the exportation of grain. First quality of wheat, 64 piastres the edriso; second quality, 56 piastres. Oil, from 15 to 18 piastres the mettar, according to quality. THE CHOLERA AT TRIPOLI. By an arrival from Tripoli we learn the following particulars resprcting the cholera in that regency. It appears that from the first the disease was of the most aggravated character, attacking without any premo nitory symptoms, the attacked immediately dying; while carrying burdens, the Arabs fell down and ex pired before any assistance could be rendered, and unaccompani:d by external discharges or cramps ; a deadly faintness seizing them suddenly. Such was the universal fear that all who could fled from the place—perhaps not more than from four to five thousand remaining, and those of the most destitute of the population. The Pacha had left with all the troops. The European consuls also, with one or two vxceptions. The difficulty was to discover where the sick were to be fund, for you heard of them only by the report of their death ; when found they were generally averse to taking tnedieine, and no reasoning could prevail upon them to clean or purify their wretched dwellings. The regret of any one who might be willing to render any assistance arose from the almost utter inability to do any or from the entire disorganization of the count d the absence of all in authority, no sup irt could be obtained. So that whatever the Go v:rnment of Malta might have done, whatever medi cal assistance they might have sent, all their exer tions have been nullified by the anarchy and fright ful panic which reigned among all classes. It may be thus far satisfactory to know how futile any effort would have been to render assistance from thence. The victims, as usual, were amongst the poorest class of the inhabitants. In the country whole villages were depopulated. One curious fact . , ascertained by an English tra veller, was a mortality among the dogs in the country —numbers dying with vomiting, watery discharges, and cramps, in fact cholera—which was preceded by a dullness, less of appetite, and disinclination to any exertion. In Misellata, about seventy miles from Tripoli, there were somewhat more than twenty cases of canine cholera, and also a great mortality among the fowls—death being preceded by a yellowish dis charge from the mouth. It gratifies us to be able to give praise, when it is merited so richly as in the per son of M. Ostia, the Spanish consul, who, from first to last, did al in his power to alleviate the distress of both natives and Europeans, distributing soup and necessaries to the utmost of his means. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday a Court was held at Guildhall ; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The inspectors mede their weekly reports of the condition of the streets. The accounts were favour able, showing that the scavengers had performed their duty to the satisfaction of the inspectors end the public. The strict manner in which the Commis sioners have enforced the regulations of the Court with respect to the speedy removal of the nuisances arising from the enormous traffic in some of the principal thoroughfares, manifested its effects in the return, and there was no occasion for any of the apologies which the dustmen have been in the habit of making. It is due to the Commissioners to state that their in quiries inta the causes of complaint made by their fellow-citizens are most rigidly instituted, and there is every probability that throughout the approaching winter the enforcement of the wholesome rules of the Court under the extreme penalties for violation will be productive of the most salutary and comfortable effects to the population. ACCOMMOrATION AT ST. rAve s. An application was made by Mr. Walcot, on the part of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. It contained a request that, as the authorities of the Cathedral had erected two steps at the north and south entrances, the Court would direct a third step to be added on the public way, in order to perfect the general accommodation in that respect. Mr. BARBER complained of the delay which had taken place on the part of the Dean and Chapter with reepect to the communications made by the Commis sioners about six months ago. He had hoped that the delay originated in the preparations of the autho rities for the removal of the twopenny charge, which had been so much and so deservedly animadverted upon by the public. Mr. Deputy Ilovr said he was not aware of the cause' of the delay on the subject referred to by Mr. Barber, but he was of opinion that the request of the Deen and Chapter, which he considered to be a step tows i ds improvement, should be without hesitation complied with. The Dean and Chapter had shown a disposition to increase the public accommodation by throwing open the gates during the day, so that per sons might pass to and from the north and south sides of the churchyard without being obliged to undergo the existing inconvenience. Mr. BLAKE also advised that the request of the Dean and Chapter should be complied with. It was ultimately determined that the matter should be referred to the Committee of Views, with direc tions to report to the Court upon the propriety of making the step in concurrence with the views of the Dean and Chapter. exp T e le c e te C d, o b u e rt m ex ad a e m a in t e t d he t n h e e xt m m od ee el ti o ng f a o. g th r e ea c t om pu m b i l ; io . eonvenience,towhich particular allusion will, it is At stoners.--Adjourned. d. --- Fables give human intellects to brutes, in imitation - of Nature, who sometimes give brute intellects to men.— Eltza Cook's Journal.
