In London-4, Adams-court, Old Broad-street. The growing importance of South Australia —its vast mineral ri c h its agricultural and pastoral capabilities, and the recent dis covery of gold lields,—all these features combine to render this colony, at the present time, particularly attractive for the investment of capital. The present Company is forn3ed for the purpose of purchasing and acquiring land, and gold and other ores, in South Australia ; to be wor k ed, let on royalty, leased, or otherwise disposed of. Te promoters of the Company have made arrangements for the purchase of some larg e and valuable tracts of mineral and other lands, in some of which the existence of auriferous deposits has bee n satis factorily proved, while in others veins of copper and silver lead have been found to exist. Some specimens of the gold ores with which these lands abound, and which were sent direct from the spot, will be remembered as forming an attractive feature in the Great Exhibition last year. It is important to remark, that, of the properties comprised in the present arrangement, some are in the immediate vicinity, and all are within a moderate distance of the city of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. So tar hack as the month of November, 1850, an examination of the South Para and Onkaparinga properties was commenced under the auspices of Capt. John Phillips, and the result of his ob , ervations was so favourable as to induce the proprietors to proceed with the Investigation, which has been continued from time to time until the present moment, and it now appears to be incontestably established that there exists, at a moderate depth from the surface, a shelf or basin, which is the true auriferous formation; and above this, seve ral deposits of detritus have accumulated, which abound in gold. In the report which has been received it is estimated that these deposits may be turned over at a moderate outlay, leaving a profit of upwards of £50,000 on each of the sections of gold land. This re ault may be obtained as a preliminary to the ultimate object of the Company—viz., the development of the true auriferous formation. Every facility exists for the transport and erection of maddinery ; the supply of water and fuel is abundant, and, above all, a ready Communication exists with the capitol. The contract made by the promoters of this Company with the proprietors embraces a considerable extent of land in different dis tricts, a portion being situated on the South Para River, within 25 miles of Adelaide, and a further portion oa the Onkaparinga, within 20 miles, and adjoining the newly-discovered gold-fields at Echunga. The auriferous qualities of the above have been proved. On the Wiltshire Survey, 40 miles from Adelaide, there Is a large tract which is let to a Company of Oermans, the right to the mine rals being reserved, and there is nearly a similar extent in the imme diate vicinity of Adelaide, which is likewise let with the same re serve. Power will be taken in the statutes to increase the capital, with the consent of the Shareholders. These various properties have beenurchased for 17,001 Shares of the present Company, and a royalty o f one-tenth for gold, and one ifteenth for other minerals. The capital of the present Company will be divided into 75,000 a portion, not less than one-third, will Shares of £2 each , of whic h he affairs of the be reserved for allotment in England.

C G MOSE//sand SONS have a duty to discharge to them highly gratifying ; they have to acknowledge an amount of patronage on their Establishment and its branches which exceeds the possibility of enumeration, and fully demonstrates the established convic tion on the public mind, of the. superiority of their system of Business, and the genera l excellencies of their Goods. This in crease of public favour will never be disregarded by E. MOSES and SON, but will form a stimulant to still greater efforts, where possibility will permit, and to fresh enterprises where these can procure the best, the most fashionable, and the most seasonable ma terials for every description of Dress, with which they always asso ciate the most artistic, the neatest, and soundest workmanship. The appointment of a distinct class of Artists to each style of attire, has produced a fit universally famed for correctness and com fort, and in the manufacture df Garments for every station and pro fession in society ; for Sportsmen, Juveniles, and Mechanics the most unflinchin; regard will continue to be paid, the highest order of materials and workmanship, and the lowest possible charges will furnish additional attractions for thousands. A degree of patronage unparalleled has been bestowed on the Ready-made Clothing Depart ment, which it has always been their ceaseless assiduity to render superior to that of any Establishment in the Kingdom, that every person may be supplied at any moment to them convenient, with a Style of Attire agreeable to their wishes, displaying the first order of Materials and Workmanship, accompanied by a Fit superior to the Bespoke Goods which may be had elsewhere. The Hat and Cap Branch has exhibited an impetus in the progress of Business, which has rendered it the Crowning Emporium for all the subjects of our Mighty Empire. . The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hosiery Section, on which the great est care, industry, and experience has been employed, has been at tended with unprecedented encouragement; and the world-wide connection of E. Moses and Son have rendered it the Depot for every novelty through every season. During the past year, a new field has been opened for enterprise and industry ; a source of wealth has been discovered which has superseded the calculations of the most sanguine, and has proved the revelations of truth more astonishing than fiction ; though Gene ral Outfitting has always been an important branch of E. Moses and Son's business, and has through a series of years been available for Emigrants to all parts of the world, yet the new requirements of a large portion of the population have been met in the most compre hensive manner by the Outfitting capabilities possessed at the Estab lishnaent of E. Moses and Son; their Wholesale business affording facilities of the most momentous order, and the unity of the largest stock of Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., Ike., ever known, have proved in the highest sense advantageous : their thorough and practical ac quaintance with the goods required for any voyage or climate, and by every class of Emigrants, Ladies or Gentlemen ; their readiness to afford assistance, and gratuitously to give all necessary information to all intending Emigrants, has given 'a popularity to them as Out fitters, which has eclipsed all others; and that every convenience might be possessed by Emigrants, they have kept a separate Depart ment for Outfitting, conveniently communicating with the other sec tions of their great commercial Emporium. Now entering upon the Empire of the year 1853, it is the intention of E. Moses and Son to give each branch of their daily increasing trade their minute, practical, and undeviatinz attention that :their Establishment and its branches may continue the national deposi tories of novelty and fashion, the recherche of taste and skill ; the magazine of articles o f utility and comfort ; the assemblage of every order of Goods required at home or abroad ; that punctuality and attention to all commands and that quality and economy in every class of articles may give them the opportunity, and the pleasure of extending the benefits of their great commercial facilities to all classes throughout the kingdoms of the world.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fees 1 consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatmen t adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and' cademic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases. • Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

A FAIR SWINDLER.—The police, says Galignani, have just arrested a young and rather pretty woman, who for some time past has been swindling on a rather grand scale. Her custom was to pass herself off as the wife of an officer of high rank in the army, and by stating that her (husband was about to arrive in Paris, obtain on credit splendid furniture for an apartment she was fur nishing ; then, at the end of the quarter, pretending that Ow husband had been appointed to a place in Algeria, she paid the rent and sold off the furniture. She afterwards proceeded to another quarter of tie town, and repeated the same operation. She was also accustomed to borrow costly lace and diamonds from ladies, on pretext that she was going to visit the Em peror, and she never returned them. From a notary, near Melun, she obtained a large sum of money to, as she said, prevent an estate b e l ong i ng t o h er from being sold, but the estate did not exist, and she embezzled the money. A young man of good family fell in love with her, and spent a good deal of money over her. He even proposed to marry her, but she did not think him rich enough. Before, however, breaking off with him, she had the art to make him give her a large sum. Three days ago one of her dupes met her on the Boulevards des Italiens, and wished to arrest her ; but she escaped. The police, however, being set in motion, soon discovered her. On being interrogated, she gave herself several names, not one of which is believed to be her right one. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.—A return has just been printed of the operations of the Hudson's Bay Company in connexion with the colonisation of Vancouver's Island. From this it appears that the quantity of land sold has been 1,478 acres to 11 persons, at 20s. per acre, and that applications have been made by 19 persons for 2,355 acres, which are being surveyed. In addition, the Hud: son's Bay Company's station consists of 3,084 acres, portions of which have been sold to some of their retired servants. The number of people sent out since the be ginning of 1848 has been 435—namely, 271 males, 80 females, and 84 children, of whom 150 sailed during the past year. These were chiefly agricultural labourers, together with some farm bailiffs, miners, and mechanics. As regards the coal mines, it is stated that the company have incurred considerable expense in searching, boring, &c., but without success until lately, when promising appearances have been discovered about 80 miles north of Fort Victoria, on the east coast of the island, nearly opposite the mouth of Fraser's River. The outlay thus far for colonisation and improvement has been 1,9861., while the receipts have been 1,4781. for land and 1641. for royalty, at 2s. 6d. per ton on 1,315 tons of coals col lected from surface seams by the Indians, and exported. Of these receipts the company under their grant are en titled to appropriate one-tenth, the r emainder bein g ap . plicable to the promotion of colonisation. The company attribute the slow progress of the settlement of the island to the high rate of wages in Oregon and California. This, however, is only the superficial reason. The ques tion arises, why are wages higher in Oregon than in Vancouver's Island ? In one place the price of land is fixed at the unattainable rate of 20s. per acre, in the other it is sold for its fair value—namely, what it will fetch. The result is, that, all other things being equal, the man who buys his farm in Oregon for ss. an acre can afford to outbid for labour the settler in Vancouver's Island who has paid 20s. RIOT IN A FRENCH CHURCH.—Some dispute having arisen at the midnight mass, which took place the night before Chrismas-day, at Bromont (Puy-de-Dome), the curd ordered the offending parties to leave the church. Not one having stirred, he asked for the names of the rioters, and then insisted that the persons named should leave the congregation. After the service, the persons so expelled, waited outside the church to take revenge on the young man who had mentioned their names to gas a off. coming t r T e e h t e , s h e tah t s w etyil o ym m ien e t n ta w h eemroeapnphounsrrai opposite e n dd g i r o ße ff, cotui n the curd, b u t h e, b e i ng a i ded by his brother, contrived wtt turning gon was when,urn cwith n , a knife in his hand, to the succour of his servant, whom some one had represented to him to have - been • attacked.

The two brothers were taken into custody in de course of the day, and six other persons were afterwards arrested for having been con cerned in the riot. 5 4 0 . z +a o Time. t al Time. 1 :4 Es' p _X 10 • • ,1::. 47 § 91 4 11 I I M 1 214 • 5 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Bernal Osborne, First Secretary, commenced his duties yesterday. We hear that Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P., the new Secretary to the Admiralty, has appointed Mr. H. E. Staplyton to be his secretary. This gentleman has been acting as secretary to Sir Phipps Hornby, K.C.B. Mr. James Beeby, formerly one of the senior clerks at the Admiralty, died recently. By his decease a pension of some 6001. or 7001. per annum will fall in hand. DEATH OF COMMANDER J. H. BRIDGES. We are sorry to state that news has been privately received of the death by Asiatic cholera, of Commander John Henry Bridges, which event took place at Cal cutta, on the 13th of Noveniber last. This zealous officer, whose life has been thus unexpectedly shortened, was the third son of Sir Henry Bridges, of Beddington, Surrey. He commenced his career at the age of 12 years —in the Aria_Ca_ptain (nom cl .• LordAdolphnti - littiq t ri tvcr r. . patronage of our late Sovereign, KingA s a midshipman and lieutenant he was constantly engaged in various parts of the world, and as gunnery lieutenant of the Thunderer, 84, Captain M. F. F. Berkeley, in the year 1840, he assisted in all the operatons of the Syrian campaign, the bombardment of Beyrout, the storming of Sidon, and the capture of St. Jean d'Acre, and received, with the other officers engaged, an English and Turkish medal. In 1846 he went to the Cape of Good Hope, as first lieutenant of th e Brilliant, 22, Cap tain Watson, C. 8., out of whi c h ship he exc h anged, for the sake of being more actively employed, into the Columbine, 16, commanded by Captaia Grey, and upon his death by Commander (now Captain) John Dalrymple Hay, together with whom, as his first lieutenant, he dis tinguished himself in a successful effort to put down the pirates on the coast of China. The spirited conduct of Lieut. Bridges, who, in the command of a boat, gallantly attacked and boarded a Chinese junk was 1849. Soon was particularly recorded by us in the month of Decem he was promoted to the rank of a commander. Upon attaining this important step, he devoted himself fo r a year to the study of steam at the Royal Naval Coll ege , Portsmouth, and then, un willing to be without employment, he accepted the ap pointment offered to hi m o f admiralty agent, and took charge of the mails, first in the Bo sphoru s, screw-steam ship, to the Cape of Good II -° P; and immediately upon his return home, in the Lady J ocelyn, to C a l cu tt a, y where he died aft e r an ill ness of only three days, aged I/ 39. The loss of Co mman d er —ridg ea will be sincerely felt in the ser v i ce , an d especially a l Portsmouth. He was an officer of mild, unassuming, and gentlemanlike manners ; he was a f avour i te in every ship, and a friend in every circle. It i s d ep l orable to see so many officers of good promise, like poor Bridges cut off so early in life. Good seamen desiro us o f serving have now a choice of ship s, for men are required for all -gun classes of steamers, f rom th e 10 screw to the 4-gun paddle-sloop. in the Royal Navy °lll Sl!/10IITH, JAN. 6. It has been blowing a gale southward the whole of the a. Y —. At 10 a.m. the men rbour struck topgallant masts. Almost all communication had been cut off with of wind again from the of-war at Spithead and in th e ha the squadron, except those who chose to pay handsomely for a boat, and risk their lives. The unfortunate wreck, Flower of 'Ogle, is fast break ing up, and part of her wash ed ashore at Hayling Island. The new Commander-in-Chief, vi ce-Admiral Sir Thos. J.

The ships fitting are still short of their complements, although they are gradually picking up good seamen. London, 92, Captain Mundy, will be ready for sea as soon as she is manned ; but, no twithstanding she is so fine a ship, good seamen come along very slowly for her. She is now, at least, 360 petty officers and seamen short of her complement of 850. We hear reports of the officers on board not being the most comfortable toge ther. We are quite sure if the gallant captain hears of it he will have an alteration. petty officers i n at g. Leander, 50, Captain King, at Spithead, h as vacanc i es for about 18 blue jackets.

She has proved herself a very useful little craft, and by her Plumpertermof force and services has shown that vessels of her class must supersede altogether the mere sailing brig. Leopard, 14, paddle- wheel steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, of the Termagant, has hoisted his pendant this day on board the Leopard, to the books of which ship the officers and crew of the Termagant have been turned over. They use the Termagant as their hulk pro tent. Sidon, 24, steam - frigate, Captain manned within about a dozen blue jackets. She will b. off in a day or two. Odin, 12, steam-frigate, Capta in Scott, has about 220 on her books, out of her complement of 275. She will be ready for service when manned. Furious, 16, steam-frigate, Captain Loring, will also be ready for sea when manned. Her complement is 220. Medea, 4, steam-sloop, Commander Crawshay Bailey, will be complete by the 9th, and will be ready for sea by the 12th. Basilisk, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hon. G.

She has entered about half her comple ment of 80 officers and men. WOOLWICH, JAN. 6. Captain Rundle Watson, C. 8., of the Imperieuse, 50, screw-frigate, still carries on the port duties in the ab• Bence of Commodore Eden, who is to leave. Imperieuse, 50, screw-frigate, Captain Watson, C. 8., is picking up her crew very well for Woolwich. Of her complement of 530 she only wants about 45 blue jackets. She is short of boys and marines. Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Hyde Parker (1852), is also very forward with her ship's company of 200 officers and men. So much the worse, for she will not be out of the hands of the dockyard for at least a month, and with the pressure at the present moment on the engineering department, it is impossible to say when her machinery will be all right. We are informed that she requires about 25 blue jackets to complete her crew. Cruiser, screw-sloop, Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas (1851), has comparatively few seamen on her books. With officers, marines, seamen, and boys, she musters about half her complement of 160. Resistance, troop-ship,, Master Commander Bradshaw, will be ready to proceed on her West India and coast of Africa trip, with troops, by the 13th inst. Magwra, screw troop-ship, Commander Johnson, will be completed by the 18th. Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, will not be out of the hands of the dockyard and factory before the let of March.

THE ROYAL NAVY.—The present naval force of Great Britain consists of 545 ships-oc-war (either in commission or in ordinary), carrying from 2to 120 guns each. Of this number, 180 are armed steamers, from 100 to 800- horse power engines, constrneted on the most approved principles, for active sea-service (besides.revenue cutters and smaller vessels). This immense fleet, the largest of any maritime Power, employs in time of peace 140,000 able bodied seamen, 2,000 boys, • and 15,000 Royal Marines, divided into four divisions (102 companies), viz.—First division, head-quarters, Chilltham, 25 companies ; second division, Portsmouth, 27 companies ; third division, Plymouth, 25 companies ' • and fourth division, Wool wich, 25 companies ; and 10 companies of Royal Marine Artillery, head-quarters, Portsmouth.

PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK. Yesterday, at a meeting of the General Committee of the Society for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, the following rewards were ordered to be granted : A reward of 91. was granted to the crew of one of the Anglesea life-boats, in consideration of their laudable and persevering exertions in saving the crew, consisting of fourteen persons, of the brig Athena, from Alexandria to Liverpool, which was wrecked near Llanddwyn, on the 20th ult. The poor fellows were found to be in a state of complete exhaustion when they were rescued from their perilous situation. Shortly after leaving the wreck she went to pieces. A reward of 3/. 17s. was also voted to a Shetland boat's crew for services rendered by them to the crew of the schooner Janet Gibson, from. Archangel to London, wrecked near Lerwick, a short time ago, during a dense fog and a strong easterly swell, The silver medal of the institution and two sovereigns were voted to Mr. Christopher Day, master of the steam tug Contractor, of Middlesboro'-Tees, for his promptitude and gallantry in going off in his steamer during a strong gale from the eastward, to rescue the crew of the Louisa, of Stettin, which was wrecked near the entrance of the river Tees, on the 29th of Oct.. last, and soon afterwards went to pieces. This was stated to be a most gallant act on the part of Mr. Day. His crew received also a reward of 10s. each for their services on the occasion. A reward of 1/. each was granted to the crew of the Aberdeen life-boat, in consiideration of their humane though unsuccessful efforts to rescue the crew of the brig Venus, wrecked outside the harbour of that place, a short time since. The gallant men made six unsuc cessful attempts to reach the wreck, but on the seventh they approached sufficiently near her to rescue one poor fellow, six others having perished in the interval. A reward of 3/. 10s. was granted to a boat's crew, of Thorpness, Suffolk, for rescuii ig the master and crew of the Mary Ann, .f Sunderland, which was wrecked near that place on the 19th ult. To. the promptitude and gal lantry of the boatman named Chard and his crew, the two men who were found on pieces of the wreck owed, under Providence, their lives. Chard had on a previous occasion received the medal o f the institution. A reward of 2/. 105. was voted to a number of poor fishermen on the coast of Donegal for their services to the crews of two boats which had capsized on the sea. The silver medal of the institution was granted to Lieutenant Parsons, R.N., chief officer of the Bourne mouth Coast-guard Station, orset, and a reward of 4/. to his boat's crew of four men for their gallant services to some of the crew of the barque William Glen anderson, timber laden. The ship being observed, during the late hurricane, t.) part from her anchors, the officer and his men, without delay, hired horses and two timber trucks to convey his boat abreast of the wreck. Having launched his boat, she was instantly filled with water, and her crew .yvashed on shore ; but on the second attempt they succeeded in reaching the wreck and rescuing the eight persons on board. Another boat, belonging to the yacht of Sir Percy Shelley, had also put o IF to the wreck, manned by five persons ; but she also. immediately filled and turned bottom up, keeping two of the crew under her. The Coast-guard boat was agaiin launched, manned by the sams gallant men, and sucoeeded in saving four out of five of her crew, one poor man having been too long imraersed in the water for anix nation to be restored in _ _ A grant of 201. was mado to the widows and orphans of the three men who unfortunately perished in their humane attempt to go to. the assistance of the crew and passengers of the. emigrant ship Heroine, which was wrecked off Lyine Regis during the late disastrous hurricane ; and the thanks of the com mittee, on vellum, were ordered to be presented seve rally to Captain Willoughby, RN., inspecting comman der of the Coast-guard at Lyme Regis ; Lieutenant Ir vine, R.N., chief officer of the Bournemouth Coast guard station ; and to Mr.. H. Harvey, commanding h er Majesty's revenue cutter Francis, in appreciation of their meritorious and arduous exertions on the occasion of the wrecks of the sloops Adbl and Sarah, and the barque Heroine ; and a reward of 10s. each was voted to their respective crews. It was stated that it was the intention of the institution to place a life-boat at Lyme forthwith. A reward of 51. was granted to the crew of the Mael fre life-boat, Anglesea, for valuable services rendered by them in saving the crew of the schooner Emma, of Car diff, wrecked near that place on the 10th of November last. The night was unusually dark, and the life-boat was engaged for five - hours in rescuing the poor fellows. This is the second servi ce thi s boat has rendered to shipwrecked crews within the last few weeks. It was stated that several of the earlier life boats of the institution, which are on the plan of Mr. George Palmer, of Nazing-park, are now on service in Anglesea, and that since their first establishment there, about twenty-five years ago, they have been instrumental, under God, in saving some hundreds of lives of ship. wrecked persons. It was also stated that during the last two months between 300 and 400 wrecks had taken place on various parts of the coasts of the United King dom, and the destruction to life therefrom was propor tionately large. Yet, with all these startling facts before them, the apathy of the public on the subject is fearfully astounding ; and it is with great regret that we find an institution which has for its principal object the pro viding of means to lessen in part this annual i havoc among our hardy seamen meets with less support, from the highest to the lowest rank among us, than any other charitable society of like importance in the kingdom.

The declaration of the poll by the sheriff took place yesterday : Admiral Berkeley Mr. Hope Majority for Admiral Berkeley... 91 Neither party had anticipated that the result would have been se great a triumph for the Government•candi date. Admiral Berkeley, in an address delivered to his party from the King's Head hotel, on Wednesday night, said he had never been more fearful of the result of any election than of the one just terminated. He added that the triumph was the more gratifying to him, thaB - as it had been produced by the united and un biassed and unbought efforts of his friends and of the independent constituency. He denied that there had been any bribery or treating on his part, but hinted at the presence in Gloucester of a "Flewker" and a "Frail" from Derby. He attributed his large ma jority over Mr. Hope to two causes—the assistance ren dered him by Mr. Price, his co-representative, and that gentleman's friends, and to the non-appearance in Glou cester of Mr. Hope. SOUTHAMPTON. The polling commenced yesterday morning at the usual hour, but it soon became apparent that the Con servative candidate, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, had not the slightest chance of success ; for as the hours passed on the majority for the Liberal candidate, Sir A. E. Cock burn, increased by hundreds, and at the final close at four o'clock was as follows Sir A. E. Cockburn Mr. B. Cochrane... 1,097. 595 Majority for Cockburn There was not that usual bustle and excitement during the day that we have before witnessed, and there can be no doubt but those who have polled on the present occa sion have done so almost without solicitation, so that the present numbers polled by each candidate may be said. to represent the political feeling of the voters of the borough. AYLESBURY. Yesterday, R. Bethell, Esq., her Majesty's Solicitor- General, was re-elected for the hundreds and borough of Aylesbury without opposition. Mr. JOHN GIBBS put Mr. Bethell in nomination, and J. LEE, Esq., LL.D., seconded the nomination. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was then declared to be duly elected, and on presenting himself he was received with ' very great cheering. Lord Aberdeen had been entrusted • e. • U l an of a new Cabin*, and he_ww_gladAo say a ie Cabinet of L7,7-rXberGe en were pledged, in the first place, to the introduction of a measure of fran chise reform. (Cheers.) It was not within his power to indicate the character or the details of the reform mea sure which the new Cabinet would introduce; but speak ing his own convictions, he must say that its first element ought to be a large extension of the franchise—(loud cheers)—and next by the concession of the ballot for the protection of the voters. (Three cheers for the ballot.) Connected with the transfer of property, his plan would be to have a register of all real property, so that the process of transfer would involve no more inconvenience nor expense than what was necessary to identify the owner ; and those who had passed through the difficult process of a Chancery suit would be able to appreciate the vast importance of a change of this nature. (Hear, hear.) The great evil of our present law system arose from the diversity of jurisdiction and the diversity of statutes applicable to the different courts under these jurisdictions, so that when one party wanted a small mortgage for convenience or necessity, or a small transfer, he had bills coming in from different legal agents • whereas, if the same law of justice were applicable to all branches of law, this evil would at on c e be overcome. For exampl e , th e Ecclesiastical Court administered law by statutes and advocates exclusive and restricted, and he would change the jurisdiction by placing it under the same authority as that which ruled at Westminster. (Hear.) And, with respect to the law of church rates, which came within the jurisdiction of Doctors' Commons, he would certainly say that the State was bound to make provision for the maintenance of those fabrics of worship which the piety of our ancestors had bequeathed to us ; but he was disposed to destroy the present levy upon those who did not go to church, and the present uncertain na ture of church rate exaction by the appropriation of funds in the possession of the deans and chapters to church repairs. (A voice, "The Jews.") He maintained that those who would exclude our Hebrew bretheren from Parliamentary honours, ought never to pronounce the sacred words of civil and religious liberty, because the exemption of Jews from Parliament was not upon politi cal grounds, as the Catholics had been exempted, but solely on the ground of their religious convictions, and he maintained that a vote of the House of Commons was sufficient to admit them without a new enactment. Our conduct on this question reminded him of the boast of the American, who contended that America was the most liberal and free country on earth, and then turned round and said, " What shall I give you for that d—d negro." (Applause.) In conclusion, Mr. Bethell said that his ambition in entering the House of Commons was to turn his attention to the reform of the law, in the spirit of an axiom laid down by one of the greatest of their ancestors " that he who reaped advantage from a profession should endeavour to make it pure." (Loud cheers.) The proceedings were closed by the customary vote of thanks, and Mr. Bethell and his supporters retired to tlie Bell Inn to dinner. CARLOW. It is thought that Mr. Sadleir will have a very close contest in Carlow. At the last election he was returned by a majority of only 17 ; and the constituency has been reduced by the late registration to nearly that amount, most of the votes which were struck off being those of the liberal party. The tories are working might and main to oust him from the seat, but he is still sure of a small majority—it may be of half-a-dozen, or even less. THE MODERN EL DORADO.—The Empire, Sydney • • newspayer, of the 18th of Sept em b er, received by the Phcenician, gives an elaborate summary o f the operations in the New South Wales gold fields from the respective Periods of their discovery d own t o t h at date. Notwith standing the report of Mr. Hargraves, about a year back, of the great extent and probable richness of the various deposits, the population then employed in gold-mining has rapidly diminished, owing to the over-mastering at tractions in the adjoining colony of Victoria. At the present time the total number engaged at all points is supposed to be under 8,000. Of these, it is e s ti mated the largest proporti on are a t wor k on the mines north of Sydney, namely, Ophir, the Turon, the Tambaro the Meeroo, the Hangi ng - roc k i n th e neighbourhood of Peel River, and Bingara on the Gwydir. At Ophir, which includes the Wentworth diggings, the number is sup posed to be 200 or 300, their average earnings being Sofala, 10s. to 60s. per day. At Turon, which includesg Sofala, and where there were formerly 10,000 pens, there are now 1,200, earning from 15s. to 80s. On the Tambaroura there are about 1,000 ; and on the G re at Nugget. includes the Louisa -creek, the site of the Great Nugget. Vein, the number is 1,500, obtaining average earnings of 20s. At all of these places operations have been more or less impeded by heavy floods, but at Bin gara, which is the most northerly point, difficulty is ex perienced from want of water. West of Sydney there are about 200 persons on the Abercrombie, and about 100 at Havila.h on the Campbell ; while in the south the val ley of Aruelen is the chief locality, although the number at that point, which was once 2,000, has been reduced to 500; the earnings, however, are still supposed to range from about 15s. to 60s. per day. 1, 562 ; i... 11 ed, (city),34 ; JEWS IN SWITZERLAND.—The Jews in Switzerland are distributed as follows ;---Argovia, 107 ; Basle (campagne), 15 • Berne, 293 ; 0 v ; 8 St. 0:111, Neufchatel, 230 ; Geneva, 1'36 ; Zurich, SO 3 .

Before six months have elapsed we shall proba bly be able to look back upon the existing scheme of direct taxation as a thing of the past, and - we venture to predict that of all past things this will appear not the least unaccountable. A system, so monstrously unjust as to b e i n d e fen s ible any ground but that ofhelplessnesshas been. maintained against argument and opposition for ten long years. The income taxwas first introduced as a temporary expedient, and the notorious unfairness of its ope ration was excused on the plea that, before any re vision ,of its assessments could well be made, it would be gone entirely. As'time rolled on, it be came more and more evident that this plea was with out foundation, and that an income tax of some kind must continue to enter for a while into the financial schemes of successive Ministers. Nevertheless, the excuse was still alleged with the yam epertinacity, un til at length i n di sp osition was roun dl y d escr ib e d as in ability, and' it- was :asserted that what had never been done yet could no t e in point of - fact, be ever donelt Just at tins crisis of the discussipn when the " imp oss ibili ty " of adjusting taxation tO means had been put forth as a doetrine of states manship a crisis of another kind occurred 'in the councils of her Majesty, and it was edifying to ob serve how, on the true' principles of homceopathy, one crisis entirely cured the other. W.' Disraeli, with the support of nearly one-half of the house, and the known assent of the other half, promptly acknowledged, amid "loud cheering," that his budget would ree"ognise the distinction between in come and property by a variation of the rate levi able upon each: This spoke for the ' Derbyites. Then succeeded a Ministry composed of Peelites and Whigs, and the first speech of the new Premier contained an admission similar in principleto that of Mr. Disraeli. So rapid, i n d ee d, h as been the process of conviction, that it would now be scarcely practicable to form an Administration with any other views on this I;ubject than those declared to be " impossible" twelve months ago. The injustice of tho whole transaction is scarcely credible. The income tax was avowedly imposed as a method of obtaining direct contributionq pro portioned to the means of the contributor. It was this consideration alone which suggested the total exemption of incomes under 1501. a-year. The nature too, and description of the several varieties of income were duly regarded, and even arranged under separate heads. When classification was desi rable for the purpose of collection no difficulties were alleged, and schedules A,B,C, and D provided proper columns for every species of receipt. When, however, this very classification was demanded for the regulation of contributions, it was represented as somethinc , beyend the sc o p e o f financial arithme tic, and all descriptions of income whatever, whether precarious or permanent, whether arising from, pro perty or created without property, were confounded together, and held as_ identical in the eyes-of the State. And this injustice was represented as approxi mating to justice by reason of its universality. Everybody it was said suffered alike, and therefore nobody could complain. We wonder it never oc curred to these financiers to think how materially all our budgets might be simplified by the mere extension of this principle. We require' about 50,000,000/. a year revenue, and there are about 35,000,000 inhabitants of these islands. If, there fore, every one of them, male and female,' old, and young, were assessed at 30s. a year, the whole thing would be settled, and we undertake to prove the fairness of this imposition by any arguments which shall prove the•justice of the present Income-tax. The opponents of reform in this particular have always vehemently declared that a perfectly fair Income-tax was a downright impossibility. We have no doubt of it. It is, and always must be, absolutely impossible to attain to anything like perfection in such an estimate ; but is that any reason for making no approximation to equity at all, and for maintaining the greatest amount of iniquity as the most desirable alternative ? Has such a principle been ever maintained on any other occasion ? Take the example of the House tax. This tax has been recognised by financiers of all parties as one of the soundest in use ;' and on these ground s it was i mposed by the Whigs, and proposed to be doubled by the Protectionist& Now, we are sure that every reader's experience will bear us out when we say that every single - town in England contains at least twenty instances in which the principle of the tax entirely fails ; where, for some reason or other, the occupant is lodged either decidedly above his means or de cidedly below them, and where, of course, the ope rations of the duty would be proportionately un just. But is the house tax assailed on these wounds Is it not, on the contrary, admitted by all persons that the general validity of the rule which measures a man's means by his habitation is amply sufficient ?—and is not the rule at least equally general, that incomes derived from realised property represent a larger taxable substance than incomes arising from precarious employment ? Mr. Disraeli was accused of unstatesmanlik e carelessness in suggesting one rate of taxation for permanent and another for precarious incomes, and leaving the matter without. further analysis. We do not say that such analysis was not de sirable, but we assert, w ith ou t f ear of contradic tion, that Mr. Disraeli's proposal, loose as it was, was incomparably more equitable than that which his opponents had been maintaining. Mr. Gladstone called the Ministerial suggestion a "vague variance," an " abst rac ti on ," an d so forth, be cause it did not enter into all the subdivisions of the subject. But it affirmed the one great prin ciple of division and apportionment, and, however conjectural the ratio of taxability may have been, we say that even this simple distinction would have been a long step towards justice. The difference between property and income is already recognised, in the schedules for all purposes except that of re gulating the rate of contribution. Mr. Disraeli proposed to remedy this' defect by enacting that property should pay 7d. in the pound, and income M. Hereupo n h e was assailed by countless ex amples of incomes which were certain and proper ties which were unreal. Very likely these were authentic, but is it not incontestible that they were all exceptions, and that Mr. Di srae li' s legislation, however roughly framed, had at least the enormous advantage of proceeding by ride ? There is a dis tinction made between shops and dwelling-houses in the assessment of the house duty. In some cases, it is hard to say whether a house comes under the first or the second definition, and in others the true intention of the Legislature is neutralized by the actual operation of the tax. But is this a ground for taxing all shops like all dwelling.. M houses, and abolishing the distinction alt9geth er ? We have certainly no expectation that r. Gl ad, will bo able to construct a scheme of asses -meat satisfactory to so very discriminative a mi n d as his approximation to w h at i s rightA own, but we are confident that he cannot fail i n e• • n rreadjustmentst g i a m n ent of the inc ome t ax, however Clumsy,y, 'ro imperfect, or circuitous, m us t at least, if 'lt ceed on the principle o f distinguishing betweenp precarious profits and rea li sed property succeed in Injustice substituting a less injustice for a great s u d t the characteristic the other, noorfisthite yperreyseenat s seater' system . understand one one how it could ever have been S. mcere y defended for fear of anything worse.
