IGENCE. WORSHIP STREET.—A well-dressed, middle-aged man, who refused to disclose his name, address, or occu pation, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt, with having violently assaulted and otherwise grossly misconducted himself towards a young woman named Anne Harris, residing in Eagle-street, City-road. The complainant stated that on the previous night she was passing through Short-street, Finsbury-square, in the company of a female friend, when the defendant suddenly advanced towards them, and, after uttering some insulting observation to attract their attention, deliberately exposed himself immediately in front of them. On telling him he was a beastly fellow for con ducting himself in such an infamous manner towards two unproteoted women, the prisoner assailed her with a scurrilous epithet, and instantly struck her a violent blow on the face, which cut open her lip, and caused her mouth to bleed profusely. The prisoner followed up the attack by dealing her a savage kick, and was about to proceed to further acts of brutality, from which he was apparently deterred by their screams for assistance, and made rapidly off, but was closely pursued by her friend, who kept him in sight until she met a policeman, and gave him into custody. Harriet Holland, the young woman who was in the complainant's company at the time in question, fully corroborated her evidence, and stated that, after assailing her friend in the manner described, she was also sub jected by the prisoner to an outrage of too gross and in delicate a nature to admit of description. In reply to the charge, the prisoner, who treated the matter with the coolest indifference, declared that the evidence had been greatly exaggerated, and insinuated that he had been in the habit of visiting both the young women at their homes upon terms of the most familiar intimacy. On being interrogated by the magistrate, the witnesses emphatically denied the statement of the prisoner, who was an utter stranger to them, as neither of them had over seen him before the present occurrence. Alderman, the gaoler, here intimated to the magis trate that the object of the prisoner for the studious concealment of his name, might probably he explained by the fact that he had been twice before in custody at this court upon similar charges, on one of which occa sions a communication was forwarded to the magistrate, from the Governor of the House of Detention, to the effect that the accused had been previously under his keeping, for a considerable period, for an offence of a more serious description. Mr. D'Eynoourt said that the prisoner had been guilty of a most scandalous outrage, and he should order him to pay a penalty of 51., or be committed, in default, for two months to the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. J. Smith,, the landlord of a beer-shop and coffee-house in Duke-street, London bridge, near the railway-station, was summoned by the police for keeping open his house for the sale of coffee contrary to the act of parliament, which prohibits him from selling liquors or other articles before one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The evidence was that a police-constable went into the house between seven and eight, when he saw five people, some of whom were taking their breakfast. He did not believe any of them were travellers. Iu answer to the charge, evidence was produced that all the persons in the defendant's house were travellers, and were going by the early train to Brighton. The names and addresses of all five were handed. up. The magistrate said there was no ground whatever for believing that the persons in the house were other than travellers whom the defendant was bound to sup ply with refreshments. The summons was, therefore, dismissed. LAMBETH.—Mr. Richard de Ch,antouse Orwne, zn attache to the Portuguese embassy at Paris, was charged before the Hon. G. Norton, with assaulting Mr. Fran gois Napoleon de Sazostakowsky, a Polish refugee, at the Vauxhall-gardens, on the preceding night. Mr. F. J. Van Zeller, the Portuguese consul-general attended, and occupied a seat on the bench during the hearing of the case. From the statement of the complainant, whose head was bandaged, it appeared that during the performance at the amphitheatre, in the Vauxhall-gardens, on the night before, he said to a friend, alluding to the de fendant, "That's a Portuguese I have been looking out for for seven years." The defendant asked him what for ? The reply was that he must know very well, and that some years ago he was in the habit of meeting him at a gambling-house. The defendant assured him he was mistaken, gave him his card, and said he was an attaché to the Portuguese embassy in Paris. Com plainant said he did not believe it, and the defendant then struck him with a stick on the head, and inflicted a wound. In his cross-examination, the complainant admitted that be said he recognised the defendant as a gambler, and that he had been frequently in his company, and that in 1847 he had lost a large sum of money. He did not say the defendant was no gentleman, but, believing him to be a gambler, did not consider him one. Did not challenge the defendant to go out of the theatre, or say "I'm your man ;" but they did go into the place where the fireworks are discharged, and he took off his gloves. Did not strike the complainant but had in tended to do so. Defendant admitted the assault, but said that the complainant being mistaken in his personality had accused him wrongfully. Mr. Van Zeller assured the magistrate that the com plainant was very much mistaken in the defendant, and spoke very highly of the gentlemanly bearing and high respectability of the latter. Mr. Norton thought that the justice of the case would be met by the defendant's putting in bail, paying for the complainant's hat and also paying the surgeon's bill fur dressing the wound. This was at once complied with. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, June 10.—On Tuesday, the gloom which had come over our market was a good deal re lieved 1 ;7 the greater probability which had arisen that the differences between Russia and Turkey would be set tled without a resort to war ; and, although business continued dull, rather more disposition to purchase showed itself than at the latter end of last week. It was found, too, that the buyers of yarns and goods could ob tain but a slight concession from the prices of the pre ceding Tuesday. Yesterday and to-day, however, the ap prehension of hostilities has been revived ; and a renewed feeling of depression has come over this market ; so that hardly any operations have been ventured upon. It is exceedingly fortunate that, in the present crooked and dangerous state of Continental polities, and with unsatisfactory advices from several important mar kets beyond the limits of Europe, producers are so well supplied with contracts as not to be under the necessity of weighing down prices by a pressure to sell. The agitation now going on for an advance of wages in spinning and weaving, and for a restriction of the hours of work, for all hands, to the legal limit for women and children, tend to render producers more indifferent than they otherwise would be about entering into con tracts. We hear of various instances in which em ployers have yielded to their workpeople. At Stock port, the rnillowners are willing to raise the spin ning departments fully as much as, on inquiry, they find that they are under the average of the district, viz. five per cent. in mule and eight per cent. in throstle ; leaving the wages for weaving, which are one to two per cent. above the average, untouched. But the hands rejected these terms, and persist in their demand of ten per cent. all round. The consequence is, that nearly all the mills in the town are now at a stand. GLASGOW, June 10.—Our cotton market has been quiet but steady throughout the week. We repeat the quotations of last Friday without any variation. NOTTINGHAM, JUNE 9.--We cannot report any great improvement in either branch of our staple manufac tures. The lace trade seems rather feeble, but the manufacturers are acting with caution and prudence, and seem to regulate their supply entirely by the do rnand, which, being slack, tends to check production. The hosiery hands are pretty well employed, except in the coarser departments, ix which less work has been done, as the demand has not been brisk. The high price of the raw material compels the manufacturer to be very careful. — Nottingham, Journal. LEICESTER, June 9.—There is less doing in some branches, manufacturers having curtailed production, but the hands find no difficulty in getting work in other kinds. The workmen experience great diffi culty in getting their hose seamed, and the demand for female employment is very great. Worsted yarns are firm in price, though the demand is not so brisk for them. There is but little doing in wools, and prices will not be settled before the f a i r . Th e ate advance of discounts by the Bank of England has retarded their upward tendency, as well as having produced a salutary check to speculation , both in this and other st a pl e corn modities.—LeicesterJournal. THE CLOCK AT THE 'CHANGE.—I am sorry, says a Middlesex magistrate, that your correspondent, who has pointed out the disfiguring excrescence on the face of the Royal Exchange, did not at the same time draw atten tion to another remarkable feature, which appears to be somewhat of an anomaly in that celebrated building. The clock, which is said to be a most perfect work of its kind, and upon which, I believe, a very large sum was expended, was supposed to be designed, not only for the use of those who have business on 'Change, but also as a . ostnandard to regulate the time for the whole city of - L een d9n- Yet, it is actually so placed that it cannot be Ifrom any part of Cornhill, or either of the surround ng st reets, except from one Lingle spot.

The hailstones were commonly the size of large greengages "like those" (pointing to a plate-full on the table), and many " quite as large as those peaches ;" that is, about seven inches and a half in circumference. In Sydney the thermometer was continually at 130 deg. in the sun, and in Adelaide it was sometimes 140 deg. As for the hot dust blast (called a " brickfielder"), they Lad it just as bad at both those places. It would thus appear that one "heaven upon earth" is about as ob jectionable as another. The complaints of the country are influenza, diarrhcea, dysentery, boils, eye-blight, consumption, and a strange sort of cough, which the people, for the want of a more appropriate name call " the guitar." All of these are very prevalent, scarcely anybody escaping one or more of them. In the cemetery north of the town I noticed no less than eight grave-diggers at work the other day. The quantity of recently made graves of children and young people is extraordinary. By the simple record on the little wooden tablets you may count at least 100 deaths of young children, young people, and adults under the age of 35 or 40, for one of the age of 60. But, recol lecting the blunder some of our statistical men made in England, when they endeavoured to show that Green wich must b• a very healthy place from the great num ber of deaths, showing periods of life varying from 60 to 70 and upwards (forgetting that so many never came to Greenwich till they were old men), nothing very con clusive can be deduced from the above circumstance, as the very great majority of the people who come out here are under the age of 30 or 40. The thermometer of Australian enterprise cools at 40, gets very cold at 50, and freezes at 60. Fortunate that it does so, since the severe and capricious changes of temperature would soon cut off those who were at all "shaky" or touched by the warning hand of ailing age. A word on the other side. We must distinguish be tween " climate" and " weather." The variations are not always so bad. Captain Wright, the chief gold commissioner, who has been here these 14 years, assured me that this was "an unusual summer." Other resi- dents of long standing have said the same. v So much cold and rain in summer are not common. All the rest is but too common. Nevertheless, I do not consider the climate as maealthy. It is good for strong and for perfectly healthy people. There is no miasma. Men go mad from various causes, but dogs never go mad here. No virulent fevers or agues are incidental to the place (though they are being regularly manufactured by the horse and bullock slaughterers' yards, cesspools, want of all under-ground drainage, over-population, &c.) ; and, even with regard to the various epidemics and other complaints which are incidental, some persons have but slight attacks, and a few escape altogether. I do not believe one could sleep at night in the open air in England and be drenched to the skin with the same impunity as in Australia. But everybody cannot do this. There are plenty of rheumatics, sore throats, and "guitars" in consequence. The troops of the Victoria Gold Escort use no tents in camping out at night, and the troopers complain bitterly, Their horses often die from it. One of mine died. Many parts of Australia would be fatal, I should think, to anybody with pul monary weakness. Yet consumptive patients are sent out hero. Science declares that Australia is a most ex quisite climate. Well, let us be just to science, though we suffer meantime. Science cannot do away with the hot wind, or simoom, but the dust, which is the worst part of it, may be the consequence of the present wild and uncultivated condition of the country. If the fields were tilled and the roads macadamized there would certainly be a great diminu tion of the dust which is now swept from them. But this must be a work of considerable time. At present Plutus stands in his own light, and can see nothing but himself. The soil and climate readily produce all sorts of fruits and flowers ; they cannot, however, be com pared to those in England for flavour or for beauty. Here the fruit grows almost wild, and prodigal in quan tity. Cultivation would probably greatly improve the flavour, and the same may be said of vegetables gene rally, which at this time are wretched objects. It should moreover, be admitted, that if you will forego all residence in towns and villages, and dwell among the vast solitudes of field and bush, some 200 or 300 miles up the country, you will there find a climate that may often justify science in many of the deductions which have so deceived those who very naturally applied them to Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. The only really satisfactory period of the day is the early morning when fine ; and fine mornings, from sun rise, about six o'clock, to about eight, are not unusual. The air is then clear, light, dry, fresh, and a cool bright ness pervades the whole atmosphere and surrounding scenery. After this, the day may be anything. The sunsets are often magnificent in crimson masses of all gradations, floating over changeful fields of fiery gold, with pale emerald lakes and flames between. Though the twilight is of very brief duration, the heavens pre sent a grave scenery of fading purple in grand well defined designs, which in the clear solitudes of the bush suggest the profoundest melancholy by their associations with intense beauty and the loneliness of death. But the air is generally cold, and what we understand in England by a "sweet summer evening" is comparativeily unknown in Australia.—Tintei Correspondent. INDIAN WARFARE. The following statement of the recent "difficulties" between the whites and the Apache Indians in New Mexico is communicated to the Ohio (United States) State Journal by a Santa 1 - i'd correspondent, under date Marsh 29, 1853, who claims to have possessed supe rior opportunities for arriving at the truth of the matter : " A treaty was made with the Jicarillas by Governor Calhoun, in which it was stipulated that they should be rewarded by the United States' Government for their lnds, but this treaty was never ratified by the Senate. The agent tells them they must remove from the settlements to the country west of the Rio Grande. They stop and argue the question in such a way that it is impossible to answer them, for they have right and justice on their side. They say, Comply with your part of the treaty —pay us, and we are ready to go.' A great deal of indignation was felt by the people of the United States against this band of Indians about three years ago for the murders committed by them at that time. Having had an opportnnity of cultivating the friendship of the captain of this band, and feeling a strong desire to arrive at the truth in relation to this matter, I have lot lip no opportunitY'of my communi cations with Apa,aes, Utahs, Mexicans, and Ame ricans to get the correct history of what occurred, and I herewith send you the result of my investigations. And I will take this occasion to say that I have never known an instance of a murder being committed by an Indian in New Mexico, except in revenge for the loss of some of his people who had been unjustly killed by some of his more civilised neighbours. In August, 1849, a band of Jicarillas Apaches, with their families, visited the town of Los Vegas for the pur pose of trading. The officer then in command of the United States' troops at that place, having heard a rumour (which afterwards proved to be a false one) that the Apaches had killed a Mexican in the Rio Abajo, sent a peremptory order to the captains of the Jicarillas to visit his quarters, to form a treaty of peace. From the manner in . which the demand was made the Indians became alarmed, and mounted their horses to return to their village, about a mile distant, on the road to the States, near the Campo Santo. A lieutenant was ordered by his commander to mount his company of dragoons to pursue the Indians, and to bring in the chiefs by force to make the treaty. The Indians, not knowing the object of their pursuers, fled in every direction. The soldiers fired upon them, killed three of their number. and charged upon them with their sabres. The Indians did not show fight, but as they ran they cried out, For what are the Americans killing us ?' and the reply of the Mexicans was, Quien Sabe.' Five women, a boy, and a young man, were taken prisoners and lodged in gaol, where they remained in confinement for nearly a year. The Indians, exasperated at what they considered the treachery of the Americans, determined upon having revenge. On the 18th of October following, Mr. White, his wife, and little daughter, two black servants, and two Mexicans, left Mr. Aubrey's train of waggons, with whom they had been travelling from the States as far as the Cimarron, in order to travel more rapidly to Santa 1 1 4, their destination. Mr. Calloway, the waggon master, accompanied them. When near the point of rocks, 70 miles from Barclay's Fort, they were attacked by a large party of Jicarillas Apaches and Utahs, who fired upon them from behind rude breastworks that had been thrown up by the side of the road. Mr. White, Mr. Calloway, the two Mexicans, and one of the ne groes , were killed, and M rs . White, her daughter, and the negro woman, taken prison ers , an d carried off by the Indians to the canon' of Red River. The melancholy intelligence soon reached Los Vegas, and a sergeant, with a detachment of 20 men, was ordered in pursuit of the Indians. One of the Indian women, who had been taken prisoner by the troops at Los Vegas, a daughter of Loho, captain of the Jacarillas, accompanied the sol diers, partly in hopes that she might assist in discover ing the whereabouts of the Indians, and partly that she might be exchanged for Mrs. White and her daughter. After reaching the point of rocks the party encamped upon the little mound for the night. The Indian woman asked and obtained leave to remain on the top of the mound during the night, where she commenced crying, and continued to utter her wafflings, in spite of the maledictions of the soldiers, until morning, when she appeared to be more calm ; but upon a teamster approach ing her to put her into a waggon, she suddenly seized a butcher's knife lying near the fire and attacked him. The teamster, in endeavouring to escape the infuriated woman, stumbled and fell, and before she could reach him she was knocked down. She rose instantly and attacked the man in a perfect frenzy who had struck her ; but, being unable to catch him, as he dodged behind the mules that were standing near the waggon, she stabbed two of the animals so severely that they died shortly afterwards. In the confusion and excite. ment attendant upon this scene, the sergeant ordered her to be killed, and one of the men pulled a pistol from his holster and shot her dead upon the spot. The ser geant and his party, being unable to find any of the In dians, returned to Los Vegos, and reported accordingly. The news of the murder of Mr. White and his party reached Taos about the 3d of November. Major Grier, in command of a company of United States' Dragoons, with a mountain howitzer, and Captain Valdez, in command of a company of New Mexican Rangers, started in pursuit of the Indians. The celebrated mountain guides, Carson, Leroux, and Fisher, volunteered their services to ferret out the murderers from their hiding-places. Near the point of rocks the skeleton of a woman was found, which at first was supposed to be that of a negro woman be longing to Mr. White, but was afterwards known to be that of the Apache woman killed by the sergeant's party a few days before. Here the guides took the trail of the Indians, and followed it as with the scent of bloodhounds. Every trick known in Indian stratagem was resorted to THE OLI, It was a fine summer morning in Melbourne on Sun da air y , the becamel 9 t v h c o l y f D h e o c t e , m a b n e d r , o l p B p 5 r 2 e , s b s t about e ly osuot about midday thetwo o'clock. Having occasion to visit an encampment in the bush to the northward of the town, I rode off lei surely in that direction, keeping as near as I could to the winding banks of the Yarra Yarra, in hopes of get ting a breath of cool air now and then from the surface of the water. I had not proceeded far into the bush when the hot gusts became more frequent, and in less than five minutes there came a gale of wind, bringing with it a long streaming volume of hot, stinging dust, so dense that, when I could venture to peep up from beneath the broad rim of my hat, I could not see a yard in advance, nor could I see below my horse's ears. His nose was absolutely invisible, and so were my own feet, while the current of dust swept by us. Being already used to this I proceeded on my way (most unfortunately I had for gotten to bring my veil), and galloped forward between each of the gusts. An interval of a few minutes occurred, and the air having cleared before me--the dust-currents being on their way for Melbourne—l saw on the high swelling ground in front, at the distance of about a mile, as it seemed, a dirty red cloud over the hills and mounds, which soon rose above the dry squalid grey heads of the bush trees. It rapidly expanded, and in a few seconds assumed the appearance of a range of ragged conical rocks of the colour of faded brick dust. The line red dened, and the sky became darker. It was no cloud ; the whole mass was evidently advancing. Of course I immediately became but too well aware that this was some new specimen of the hot blast, of a kind or degree far exceeding any I had met before. A devoted observer of phenomena would no doubt have remained, but I frankly confess that, not understanding the thing, I bolted. Twirling my horse's head round, I spurred back at full speed, intending to reach the town before " the enemy" overtook me. But looking over my shoulder, I saw that my pursuer was gaining upon me ; there was nothing for it, therefore, but to make a sudden wheel to the left, towards a few yards of fence, made of thin planks of the stringy bark called shingles, which seemed to be the only remains of some abandoned station. Feeling sure my horse would never stand what was coming, but tear away his bridle if I hung him up to a tree, I jumped off, and hurriedly detaching the hobbles from the saddle-rings, hobbled him in no very careful way, and took to my heels for the palings. I was ob liged to leap across a long winding gully or watercourse, amid the pelting drift of the preliminary gust of hot sand, and had just time to crouch down, with my back against the fence planks, in a doubled-up posture, my hat pulled over my eyes, and my face pressed close towards my knees, with my hands pressing down the crown and side rims of my hat. With a dry, rushing noise, like a land storm sweeping through a forest in autumn, the hot blast struck the fence, the continuous stream pass ing over the top above my head, as I could feel by the pressure and vibration of the boards, as they bent over me. Notwithstanding all my care, the hot dust peppered and stung my face, penetrating my ears and nostrils, covered as they were, tingling under my shirt, and even getting between my teeth, though I thought I had kept my mouth close enough. Half opening my eyes to look upon the ground, in consequence of a strange sensation of things about me, I saw that I was covered, and the ground too, all round me, with myriads of flies, beetles, ants, grasshoppers, and other insects, which had been driven through the chinks and between the shingles of the fence. Great numbers of them were dead, especially the flying grasshoppers, beetles, and a large brassy-looking fly, something like a long, half starved wasp ; but most of the smaller flies, and nearly all the ants, were in a lively state of dismay, and very quickly sought shelter at the back of my boots, the folds and wrinkles of which they literally filled up, covering, also, the heels completely, spurs and all. After remain ing in this crouched position at least five or six minutes, during which the blast continued to rush over me, and onwards, with no apparent sign of cessation, it was im possible any longer to resist the desire of having one look at what was going on. Keeping my hand still on the crown of my hat, with the sides pressed close to my face, and making what schoolboys calla " squinny-eye," I very guardedly and gradually took a brief look up. Over the top of the fence, and above my head, rushed an unbroken stream of reddish-gray dust, with the same stream rushing from each side where the few yards of fence ended, and meeting in front, so that I sat enclosed in a hollow wedge of reddish-grey, hot, stinging dust, beyond whi c h not hi ng whatever was visible. It seemed to me that this lasted, nearly half an hour, but, pro bably, as a little of this " went a great way" in sensa tion, the duration was not so much—perhaps not above a quarter of an hour. Quite long enough. Not a soul was to be seen all the way back to Mel bourne except three young men, new arrivals, who were lying with their faces close to the ground, and their coats and waistcoats turned up over their heads. Even on entering the town scarcely anybody was in any street. They had all " run for their lives" and slammed the doors after them. The hot blast of this day is said by some who were here on the celebrated Black Thursday (when the bush took fire for so many miles, and such numbers died in the towns), to have made them appre hend almost a recurrence of similar horrors. In fact it was a sinaoom, and nothing else. These hot blasts in a minor degree, are of frequent occurrence. When the dust cloud sweeps along you cannot discern a single ob ject beyond it. No town, no bush, nothing but hot dust. So much has been said during the last two or three years of the beauty, mildness, and salubrity of the cli mate of Australia, that it would have been a very fruit less task to offer any observations of a difhrent ten dency until a sufficient number of successful and unpre juliced voyagers returned to be ar t es ti mony b y their own personal experience. The heat is fitful and excessive. After a period of moderate warmth, cooled by occasional torrents of rain, the thermometer rose on the 30th of December, to 113 deg. in the shade of a verandah. I hung it up against a house in the sun, two doors from Captain Chisholm's office in Swanstone-street, and in less than 20 minutes it rose to 126 deg. To all appearance it would have risen higher, probably to upwards of 130 deg. ; but, being in disposed to bake myself by standing sentry near the thermometer any longer, and not daring to leave it least somebody should just take st down and put it in his pocket, I was obliged to terminate my observations. Next day the heat was much the same till the afternoon, when, the wind changing to the south-west, we were relieved by a sudden coolness, which re quired a change of clothing in the evening. On the day after this (January Ist, 1853), we had rain, and the air was as cold as in the early part of the spring, some three months ago. The rain quite destroyed the holyday of New-year's-day, with its steeplechase, &c., as it did the horticultural show at the Botanical Gardens just as we are accustomed to be treated in England ; but then we were taught to expect no such caprices of weather in this heaven upon earth. All I can is, that on January the sth I felt cold all day in summer clothing, and on the 6th I fairly returned to the same underclothing I had worn in the winter, and found it just the thing. The following extracts are taken from the "Diary of a Meteorologist, living in a tent in Canvas Town," as the encampment on the South Yarra is designated : " Rounded the Cape in the middle of October • wet, squally, and wretchedly cold. Consoled by thinking of the land of promise, the gentlest and healthiest of cli mates, where the old get young, where rheumatism is unknown, where pigs are fed on peaches, and poverty has no place. " Landed at Port Philip the first week in November, the commencement of the Australian summer. First few days very fine, somewhat over-warm though—about 80 degs. in the shade. Still very fine. A moderate breeze from the south, fresh from the sea. All true about the climate. What I hear about the rainy season seems exaggerated. As to the streets of the town being often impassable, that is for want of proper drains. "Fixed my tent on the South Yarra, and hung up my thermometer. A pastoral life before me. "November 5 (my first day), the mercury rose to 90 degs. in the shade. Lay panting on a box the greater part of the day, having walked too fast in the morning. "Next day, so chilly, was obliged to put thicker trousers on, and an extra coat. Dark heavy clouds over head all day ;no sun visible. Mercury once got up to 64 degs., and then lazily sunk down again. In the evening I fairly shook with cold. "NCivember 7.—Morning, early; not a cloud to be seen ; air fresh, and temperature delicious. At break fast the thermometer showed the heat to be 70 degs. ; but the breeze soon dropped, and at about 1 o'clock the quicksilver stood at 96 degs. in the shade. Lay gasping, with nothing but duck and canvas about me. Did no thing but drink water, lemonade, gingerbeer, and cold tea. Oranges 10d. a piece. "Noveniber B.—Heat abated, not above 84 degs. ; the day following it fell to 72 degs., and in the evening to 58 degs. - - - " Then came a succession of hot days. Monday, 94 degs. in the shade ; Tuesday, 96 degs. in the shade ; Wednesday. 94 degs. ; then a few moderate days ; then three suc3essive days, at 84 degs., 74 degs., 70 degs. in the shade, and then cold, being 60 degs. and 58 degs. ; moderate again for a few days ; then cold ; then hot again, 96 degs., 96 degs., 96 degs. in the shade ; then 76 degs., 76 degs. ; then 84 degs. ; then 64 degs., and very wet ; then 100 dega. in the shade, with hot wind, sending clouds of infinitesimally small sand that found a way through everything ; in the evening the wind shifted, and all night long the rain poured in torrents awoke in a temperature of 62 degs., which diminished the next day to 55 degs. "December 30.—Another hot wind, day and night. " December 31.—Worse. Thermometer rose to 110 dogs. in the shade, and 130 degs. in the sun. Sky dark, with sand clouds rushing over our heads. Tents blown down by hot blast. Some people died from the heat and suffocation. Mouth full of dust. " January 8, 1853.—Mercury at 64 degs. ; cold and raiij. " January 9.—Mercury at 60 degs. ; colder, and much more rainy. "January 10.—Mercury at 54 degs. all day, with rain. Great coats and gloves. Several blankets at night.

Being at the country-house yesterday (Jan. 9) of Mr. John Orr, merchant, a shower of rain and hail drove us out of the garden. Expressing my surprise at the strange- I ness of the summer, and remarking that all the fine things which had been said in England about the beauty of the climate in Australia were, probably, with refer- i ence to Sydney, or to Adelaide (South Australia), I was amteennee assurred by Mr. O rr an d severa l o th er gentle ent quitethat theu se v v a e i?. e tion o s n o t f he th 2 e 6t t h em of p Nm er o a v t u e re be in winte P r re were s r ( 18 42) there WAS a hailstorm .

About 4 miles from where the murder was committed the first camp was found. Leaves of books, pieces of dress, and other articles were found near the camp fire, so as to leave no doubt in the minds of the guides that they were upon the right track. The next morning it appeared that the Indians had separated into several small bands, taking different directions, and after travelling , some distance in this way the par iies unite again at a concerted point. After travelling, sometimes nearly a day, without dis covering the least sign, a piece of calico, a shoe, or some object would be seen by the guides, as certain evidence that Mrs. White was still living, and that she had hopes of being delivered from her dreadful captivity. Every camp that the Indians had left for 15 days was discovered in a distance of 200 miles. On the 16th day the guides, after crossing Red River two or three times, following the winding and c i rcu it ous trail of the Indians, ' dis covered a camp which had apparently been left that morning, as a fire was still burning in the ashes. After travelling a few miles objects were seen in the distance which all thought to be Indians, but, after a severe chase of several miles, they were discovered to be wild horses, whcn the troops again returned to the trail. After tra velling 15 miles further an Indian was seen making for the river. A halt was instantly ordered for the moun tain howitzer to come up, the Indian camp being in sight. While the troops remained in this position two Indians were distinctly seen to plant their ramrods, and take de liberate aim at their pursuers. One of the bullets struck Major Grier in the left breast, directly over the heart ; and but for the fact of his having, fortunately for him self, placed his heavy leathern gloves in the breast of his coat, he would instantly have been killed. As it was, the ball passed through his coat, the gloves, and his shirt, but did not penetrate the skin. The other bullet killed a horse standing close by. There were about 40 warriors, a large number of women and children, and, besides the animals in use, 100 head 3f loose stock in the village. While the command was halted, waiting for the howitzer, the Indians succeeded in making their escape with all the stock belonging to them. A strag gling Indian was killed, and the troops returned to the village, after an unsuccessful charge. The body of Mrs. White was found, about 300 yards from the village, with an arrow passed directly through her heart. It was still warm ! It was evident that the Indians had tried to force her to accompany them in their flight, and she had probably resisted, hoping that she would be rescued from her horrid situation. Her little daughter was never seen. She had been killed and, thrown over into the deep 'canons' of Red River. .The black woman was killed the day after her captivity, the bones and hair having been seen a short distance from the point of rocks. The body of Mrs. White was laid out, wrapped in buffalo robes and lodge skins, and buried near the camp. Fearing the Indians might return and discover her burial-place, all the combustible matter that could be gathered was placed over the grave and burnt, and the prairie set on fire. The troops returned to Taos after this unsuccessful expedition, having been out 25 days, and encount ere d one of the most violent snow storms ever known on the plains. Mr. Quin, who had been engaged in packing provisions for the expedition, lost 17 of his mules by being frozen to death. No thing further was heard of these Indians until the 10th of May following, when the mail coming from the United States was attacked by them near Red River. The mail party consisted of Messrs. Thomas Flournoy, Benjamin Shaw, John Duty, Francis Hendrickson, James Clay, Moses Goldstein, Mr. Bran ton, and others, names not recollected, making 11 in all. The fight appears to have commenced early in the morn ing, near Red River, and continued all day along the road, until they reached the waggon mound, about 25 miles. The whole party of Americans were ' whipped out.' Five Apaches and four Utahs were killed, and buried near a lake in the vicinity of the waggon mound. A large number of Indians were wounded. It was a dreadful fight,' said one of the Indians, for there were 11 Americans to fight, and they fought like wolves.' Ten days afterwards news reached Los Vegas, the nearest military post, an d a li eutenant was ordered to proceed with 30 men to bring the dead, and to p ursue and punish the Indians. Near the waggon mound two mules were found dead at the tongue of the mail wag gon, the harness having been stripped off and carried away. Three other mules and two American horses were found dead in the road, in a distance of about three miles. The other animals belonging to the party were probably run off by the Indians. The waggon body was stuck full of Apache and Utah arrows. The mail bag was cut open, and letters and papers were scattered along the road for two miles. The trunks w ere broken open, and their contents carried away. A receipt was found in the road, showing that 40 pairs of revolving pistols had been given by Major Ogden, at Fort Leaven• worth, to Mr. Clay. All the bodies of the murdered men were found lying within a distance of 20 yards, two of them having been lanced while sitting inside of the waggon. The flesh was nearly all stripped off their bones by the wolves. The bodies were buried near where they were found, and the letters and papers gathered up and taken to Santa Fe, and the troops re turned to Los Vegas, being unable to find the Indians. This was the last expedition against the Jicarillas Apaches, and not a serious complaint has been entered against them since."

The unfortunate dupe is Richard Brindle, a labourer in the service of Mr. John Jenkinson, a farmer residing at a little village in the neighbourhood of Lancaster. It appears that by persevering industry and frugality, Brindle, who is about 60 years of age, had accumulated a sum of money, which he deposited at the bank of Messrs. Fleetwood, Pedder, and Co., in Preston. During the week preceding Whit suntide, a party of gipsies encamped in a lane in the vicinity of Mr. Jenkinson's farm ; and on the Friday in that week, Brindle was accosted by a woman of the tribe, who had in all probability ascertained the state of his finances. Having got into conversation the crafty gipsy asked the simple-minded man if he wanted a wife, to which he replied that "he could do with one." Upon this she represented that she knew a lady who would just suit him--one who had " a bit of money, a bit of land, and three or four beasts." Charmed with this information, Brindle met the gipsy on several sub sequent occasions, and was at length persuaded to draw his money out of the bank. This he did, and entrusted the gold to the woman for some mystic incantation. Receiving back what he believed to be his treasure, wrapped up in brown paper, he put it away for a week, and then came to Crediton with it for the purpose of again depositing it in the bank last Tuesday. It was not until then discovered that the gold had been changed for pieces of lead, cut to the size of sovereigns. It is unnecessary to say that the woman is non C. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 11.

CURE FOR SEA. SICKNESS.—A correspondent of a contemporary writes :—" Having noticed in the public journals a recent instance of death from sea sickness, un der very melancholy circumstances, I am induced to hope that the mention of a remedy, which was entirely successful in a case which came under my own observa tion, may be useful to other sufferers from this distressing malady. A lady of my acquaintance was landed at the Cape of Good Hope, on her voyage home from India, in such a deplorable state of debility and ex haustion from sea s i c k ness , th a t s h e w as o bli ge d t o b e carried into the house by men, and would certainly have died if the ship had been a week longer at sea. The danger in renewing the voyage in such circumstances was great, but a simple misfortune enabled her to continue it, and to reach England in perfect health. A swinging cot was constructed, with a top or frame over it, with curtains, so as effectually to screen the deck overhead, and other pails of the vessel, from the view of the recumbent invalid. The motion of the ship was thus rendered imperceptible, and the invalid being relieved from the dizzying effect of the vessel appearing to roll one way and the cot the other, no longer felt any nausea or inconvenience. She soon gained sufficient strength to leave her cot for short periods, except in bad weather, and the confinement, such as it was, was a trifle com pared to that which persons who have lost, or dislocated, limbs are compelled to endure, in pain, for months. At all events, life was saved, and health restored, by this simple means."

BOARD OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT. (Prom the Nottingham Review.) Our attention has been called to a letter, which has been recently addressed by our townsman, Mr. Hawks ley, C.E., to the Marquis of Chandos, M.P., "in relation to the exercise of some of the extraordinary powers assumed by the General Board of Health, and the superintending inspectors, and the public and private wrongs resulting therefrom." It would appear that Mr. Hawksley's testimony had been sought by the com mittee on the Great Grimsby Improvement Bill. Mr. Hawksley is well known to many of our readers, as having had great experience in the drainage and water supply of large towns ; and his eminence in the pro fession to which he belongs, is calculated to give great weight to the important charges which he brings forward. He says : "By the 116th section of the Public Health Act it is pro vided that the consent of the General Board shall be a con dition precedent to the raising of money on mortgage of local rates, for effectuating, by the construction of perma nent works, the object and purposes of the Public Health Act, just as, in the case of municipal corporations, the con sent of the Treasury is by the Municipal Act made a condi tion precedent to the alienation of any portion of corporate property. " Out of this very simple and apparently proper and innocent clause (so simple, proper, and innocent as to have escaped the attention of the Legislature when the Public Health Act was, under the plea of a sudden visitation of disease, hurriedly passed through Parliament), the General Board and its inspectors have respectively contrived and organised a system of central control over local authorities, and of personal pecuniary advantage hitherto unheard of in a country distinguished by the freedom of its institu tions and the purity of its Government. " The action of the General Board is shortly this : "1. A memorial, purporting (and only purporting, for there is no inquiry into the fact) to have been signed by one-tenth only of the ratepayers, sets the Board in motion. The memorial is frequently suggested to some persons in the locality by an inspector, with an intimation that if such request b e ma d e , the General Board will select this particular inspection to hold the so called inquiry. " 2. Upon the receipt of this memorial, the General Board send down an inspector to make such local inquiry, which local inquiry invariably results in the production of a report by the inspector against all the existing institu tions and authorities, and concludes by a recommendation that the Public Health Act should be applied. " 3. Thereupon, in almost all cases, the General Board makes a provisional order, or order in council, that the Public Health Act shall be applied, that a Local Board of Health shall be constituted, and that all other local autho rities (except municipal corporations), whether established by Act of Parliament or otherwise, shall be abolished. Moreover, the order, anomalous. as this may appear, gene rally assumes to repeal the whole or portions of existing Acts of Parliament, to apply portions of other acts not relating to the locality, and sometimes even to revive the powers of former acts which the legislature has delibe rately repealed. 4. The order once applied and the Local Board elected —works of drainage, water supply, or other local improve ment are frequently proposed to be carried into execution, and therefore Local Board have usually sought the assist ance of such surveyors, architects, or civil engineers, to assist and advise them, and to direct the practical opera tions, as the nature of the work might require. "5. Works cannot, however, be executed without funds; an application to the General Board therefore be comes necessary and is made. "6. The General Board, however, instead of limiting its inquiry, as is done by the Treasury and other departments of government, to the necessity of the work upon which the money is proposed to be expended and the consequent general propriety of such expenditure, demands plans, sur veys, detailed estimates, and other minute details of the work itself. " 7. Having obtained these, they are placed in the hands of some one of the Board's superintending inspectors, to in quire, examine, and report upon. But it so happens, that Mr. Chadwick (who in fact, though not in law, is the Board) entertains most peculiar views in favour of diminutive " tubular pipe drains," " combined back drainage," " im permeable sewers," "drainag e w a t er su ppli es ," "soil pans fed direct from waermains, "' distribution ofsewage water by pumping over adjacent lands," "large scale surveys," &c., in not one Of which is countenanced by the most eminent and most practical men of the profession ; and it further happens, that the five inspectors selected by the board, not only do adopt Mr. Chadwick's peculiar views, but are also permitted, and by Mr. Chadwick directly encou raged, to obtain from local boards, as private engineers and for their own emolument, the execution of as many as possible of the works proposed by local authorities. " 8. Hence it results from the inspectors (who now commonly, at the expense of the consolidated fund, re visit the loeality) find occasionally to speak unfavourably of the designs of other engineers, and to support their own superiority of info rma ti on, and the great facility in their power to afford to Local Boards in obtaining the con sent of the General Board. " 9. The inspector's report being made, the board refuses its assent to the borrowing of money on the mortgage of the rates, and consequently the local authorities become wholly unable to prosecute their plans of local improve ment. " 10. Dissatisfaction results. Either the local engineer is at once summarily disposed of and an inspector employed, or as almost interminable correspondence, negociation, series of deputations, controversy, and other difficulties and obstructions ensue, both on the part of the inspectors and on the part of the general board. " 11. In this manner important works of local improve ment are either wholly suspended or grievously delayed, or can only be carried into execution by the adoption of Mr. Chadwick's views and the professional employment of a superintending inspector ; thus imposing upon all local boards the necessity of adopting modes of construction which have signally failed at Croydon and elsewhere, and the at all events limited skill and experience of employes of the Board appointed to exercise disinterested judicial functions, but whose services aro liable to be discontinued the moment they dissent from the peculiar views already alluded to, and whose determinations and reports in favour of those views, and consequently in disfavour of other professional men, are rewarded by professional engagements thus prac tically imposed ou local authorities. " The result of the operation of this system has been most mischievous. The grossest jobbing prevails. Diffi culties are thrown in the way of improvement. One sys tem of construction; and that undoubtedly of a most erroneous and even pernicious character, is insisted upon, and must be extended over the whole kingdom. Able ofessional men are:wrongfully injured, both in reputation and pocket, for the gain of Government inspectors. Con fidence in the integrity of public men is utterly destroyed. Provincial towns are deprived of the advantages of self government, and the hitherto supposed supremacy of Par liament absolutely negatived. "In my own professional practice I have experienced all the difficulties above alluded to in a most painful de gree. Mr. Hawksley goes on to state a case, in which he had " Prepared plans of so perfect a character that they re ceived, on subsequent reference, the approval and com mendation of most eminent engineers; yet these plans were placed in the hands of an inspector who had just previously carried on by his partner a long and most discreditable privato correspondence with one of my clerks whilst in my service, with the acknowledged intention of abstracting him from my employment, and thereby obtaining valuable information and the results of my experience, for the express purpose of carrying on a private business in competition with myself, and under favour of the General Board. Of course I de clined to meet the inspector, and informed the Board of the reason ; whereupon the inspector reported against my plans, and denied every allegation against himself. Th e Board thereupon refused its assent to .the application of the local authority_ A long and most acrimonious cor respondence ensued, which finally resulted (after many months of delay) in a tartly and unwilling consent being given to the raising of funds, and the subsequent com mencement of works in the month of March, 1853, instead of in the month of April, 1852. No inquiry was instituted into the conduct of the inspector, but I afterwards had placed in my hands the whole of the private correspon dence referred to." Mr. Hawksloy mentions one case, in which his drawings and specifications for a new waterwork, for a private com pany, were reproduced yeebatins, at two towns, where an Inspector of the Board of Health (who had required the production of these drawings, &c., to him) " had become employed both as ins pector and engineer, putting them forth as his own, and affixing his own name thereto." He also states that none a the superintending inspectors had " made waterworks previous so their engagement under the Board." He then mentions the names of several towns in whicla the services of private individuals had been re jected, to make way- for inspectors of the Board; and ho concludes by stating that, "In the whole there were as early as February of the present year, no fewer than 44 cases (as appears by an admission of Mr. Chadwick) in which public inspectors in the pay of the government had become private engineers, in reference to the work over which the General B card assume an irregular, and cer tainly unauthorised_ control." Mr. Hawksley's statements as to the primary application of the Public Health. Act to a particular locality, are strongly corrobratei b y the circumstances which took place in Derby. So loosely• was the "local inquiry" conducted, that then existing committee of the Improvement Com missioners were entibled to give a complete refutation to the mass of errors, .ar.d even mis-statements, contained in the Inspector's report. The experience of our neighbours makes us feel thankful that we have nothing to do with the Board of Health in Nottingham. Mr. Hawksley's observations as to the "peculiar views" of the General Board, in reference to certain works, are worthy of great consideration. The employment of superintending inspectors, "as pri vate engineers and for their own emolument," is objec tionable in the highent degree. Such a course is, at any rate. calculated to lend to the grossest jobbing. As well might the Surveyor of the Admiralty be permitted to con struct government :hips for his own private emolument— the poor-law inspectors to traffic in supplying food for tho poor —or the local town surveyor to contract for 'paving and other works, to be constructed under his official superintendence. The vast improvements which have been effected with everything connected with the comforts and conveniences of life, owe but little to the fostering hand of official patronage; and it is every day becoming more im portant that the exuaution of public works—especially of a local nature—should be thrown open to the unrestricted competition of individual skill and enterprise. A MAciurrE FOR. REPORTERS.—The .Randolgt TV ha' y an American paper, says :—" In September, 1850, John B. Fairbanks, Esq., took out a patent for as invention calculated to enable any man who can move hi s h an d s rap idl y i n a vertical direction, to report a sp ea k er i n f u ll, w i t h ease an d i certainty. It is op era t e d by k eys , w hi c h by their move ment, connect e d w ith s t enograp hi c types, imprint a new alphabet of short-hand characters upon the paper. The alphabet contains only five elementary characters, and by combinations of these, all the other letters, together with numerous word-signs, are made. The fingers and thumb of one hand are sufficient to operate five keys, which constitute the alphabet, and to make in numerable changes upon the same, so that one hand can write one row of signs upon the paper, while another set of five keys under the other hand can, at th e same time, be made to write another o ne . It is really gaining the use of both hands at once writing stenography, and the hand will certainly not so soon grow weary of simply striking those keys, as of . constantly pushing a quill, with those who have tried it well know is worth all it comes to. Messrs. Fairbanks and How have now in process an improvement upon this invention, calculated to write out a speech in Roman characters, instead of short hand. For sketch reporting this would be admirable, as the " copy" would be more complete, and easier for the conapontort CANALS. .
